Previously on The Traitors —
- Debbie, there's a big difference between deserving to be in the game
and deserving to make it to the end.
- After a blowup at the round table,...
- Well, that's not a kind comment.
- ...James tried to turn the faithful towards one of his own.
- Who are you keeping an eye on today?
- I want to trust Keanu 100%.
That's a want to. - (LAUGHS)
- He doesn't seem rattled or panicked at all. - Yeah.
- At my mission, Maruia put her skills to use,...
- I've been playing poker since... 2007.
I think you should keep yours. - So let's swap.
- ...securing a powerful double vote.
And while Keanu came under heavy fire,...
- Brad brought your name up, right? - Mm.
- And he went against Jill. - Mm-hm.
- And so, to me, there's a pattern there.
- And my gut is saying you, Keanu.
- ...it was Maruia's instinct...
- God, I hope like hell that you are a traitor.
- ...that sealed James' fate,...
- I think that you could all use a bit of a pick-me-up.
I'm a traitor. - (CHEERING) - (BLEEP) yeah!
(SCREAMING)
- ...leaving Keanu as the last traitor standing.
If your chosen faithful turns you down,
they will be murdered.
So think wisely. Who will you choose?
- Who I take to the final is gonna dictate everything for my game.

Do I sleep with the devil to get to heaven?
Or do I bring an angel down to take me to heaven?
That's my question.
(SIGHS) - It's tough. - It is so tough.
My mind is just racing a million miles per hour.
- ♪ We're out of time.
♪ I see the end game. ♪
- Is it a smart move to bring someone on board that
already thinks I'm a faithful?
It could be smart for me to go for someone
that's not necessarily on my side, because I could, kind of,
frame it on them, or it could just backfire,
and they could just turn on me. And then it's, like,
well, I've just shot myself in the foot.
I have to make the right decision. I have to.
I've worked too hard to slip up,
when it matters the most.
I think I've made my decision.
- Mm-hm.
OK.
I shall happily go do some blackmailing.
- Thank you.
- ♪ Nowhere to run to.
♪ Nowhere to hide my face.
♪ Into the flame.
- (SIGHS)
- ♪ Don't call my name. ♪
- READS: Dear Chloe. Your presence is
required at a secret meeting.
These traitors just keep playing with me.
(CHUCKLES)
The last time I got a letter from the traitors,
I thought they were recruiting me, so I don't want to think that again.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to set me up,
to bring me down.
Oh my God. What is this?
I walk into the conclave,
and I'm desperately trying to look at this hooded figure,
seeing if I can figure out, like, OK, how tall are they?
What size are their shoulders?
I've been hoping it was you! (SQUEALS)
(BOTH LAUGH)
This is my dream! (LAUGHS) - Same! Same.
- Let's traitor the days away. - Let's just win this. - (LAUGHS)
I feel like a doo-doo head for not
even thinking it was Keanu this whole time.
- So you have an option. - Oh, you know what I'm doing.
- I do. (BOTH LAUGH) I do!
- This is gonna be so much fun.
- Cloak, babes. - Are you getting down on one knee? (BOTH LAUGH)
- I chose Chloe because I just needed someone I can trust.
Let me help you. - OK. Thank you. Yeah. Cloak me.
- Let me get you cloaked up, babe - Queen.
I don't feel like Chloe would throw me under the bus.
- Also, by the way, you've been setting me up, and I am pissed off at you.
- Wait. I have been? - You tried to murder me.
We've gotta talk about that. Very rude. - No.
You know that I would never do that to you.
- One of my first questions for Keanu is, did you put me on that death list?
- No, I didn't. That was James. We inserted words into our conversation
that had to include your names in it. It was, like, really, like, on the head.
You wouldn't even pick it up. James went completely rogue on me.
You were there when I was, like, 'Chloe, I don't want you to feel backstabbed by—
'Wait. Sorry — Harrison, I don't want you to feel backstabbed.'
- Yeah. Yeah. - (CHUCKLES)
- I'm not sure if I can trust Keanu, to be honest,
cos this man's been lying about a lot.
So there's a little bit of betrayal simmering under here.
But I think for now, we're good.
- I don't trust anyone else. I feel like if I brought anyone else in here with me,
they would have sabotaged my mission. - Well,
you've already been sabotaging me, without even knowing it. Jesus Christ.
- It was James. (BOTH LAUGH)
I love Chloe.
Chloe is the ABCs to my EFGs.
I just kept seeing us in the end game
and me having to tell you I'm a traitor, and it just broke my heart.
I had it in my mind that I was gonna
start this and end this by myself,
and win that money by myself,
but I'd be more than happy to stand there with her at the end
and run off in the sunset.
- Do we get to kill someone tonight? (LAUGHS) - Yes.
♪ We get to kill. ♪ - Oh my gosh.
Changing from hunting these dirty,
murdering traitors to being a dirty,
murdering traitor is, like, a bit of an adjustment.
Who have you been thinking? - So,
I was thinking Maruia,
Hannah or Maria.
Hannah is a good option,
because she's a really strong player.
And if anything, it's so obvious
that it looks like it's trying to frame me.
- No, I feel like it will frame me more.
- Really? - Cos of the whole death-match situation.
People don't trust that. - Oh, sorry — I didn't think about that.
- Mm. - Maruia,
she's so good. - But she's definitely not looking at you.
I feel like after tonight, she's potentially not looking at me.
- Yeah. I mean, there's Maria.
- Keeping Maria on side is good for us,
because she's not gonna clock it, and people don't listen to her.
But I also just don't think she deserves to be in the final,
at this point. - Neither do I.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
Hey!
(BOTH LAUGH) - Oh, my God, thank God. We need to talk.
- Oh my God. OK, yeah. Hurry up. Let's get straight to it.
- I'm pretty nervous waking up this morning, to be honest.
- OK, so, my thing for today is
people are gonna be looking at us all day, period. - Yep.
- Like, we're already on everyone's radar. Yeah.
The last few days, my name's been up at round table,
and I haven't cared, because I wasn't a traitor,
and I wanted to have this little, like, 'Ha, ha, you were wrong' moment.
(BOTH LAUGH)
But now if I get banished, they'll think they're right, and that's annoying. (LAUGHS)
OK, this is what I was thinking last night, right? - OK.
- We need Debbie and Aaron in the final,
because they will be easily swayed. - I see what you mean.
- Everything has changed now.
I have to be completely ruthless
and make sure that the right people are here tomorrow.
- Babe, let's whisper, just in case sound does carry. - Yeah.
- Um... (KNOCK AT DOOR) - Hello?
- Hey! - Hello. Good morning. - Hello.
- Morena.
(LAUGHTER) I'm convinced you're a traitor,
at this point, cos how do you keep coming in? (LAUGHTER)
- I feel quite immortal as a faithful, to be honest.
- You've got a permanent shield. (LAUGHTER)
Morning.
- I can't say I'm actually that surprised that I've woken up
and I still haven't been murdered, cos I've...
Yeah, I've accepted it at this point.
- So, James is gone.
- Yes. How are you feeling about that?
- Oh, you know, pretty good. (LAUGHTER)
- I've never seen you more happy than after that. You were smiling ear to ear.
- I'm feeling buoyed by getting James out last night.
- (LAUGHS)
- We now know James is a traitor.
And I think he had a go at me, personally,
because the cracks were forming.
- Do you reckon he was one from the start?
- Yeah. - Yeah, I do. - Mm.
- He was the brains behind the operation. That man is so intelligent.
James is a really funny guy,
but the pressure of being a traitor can get you.
I just don't think that he was born for this role,
like I was.
- If we were down to one, then one of us is them now —
one of us has become a traitor. - I wish it was me,
to be honest, at this point. (LAUGHTER)
- I would suspect that they would blackmail Chloe,
just to throw her under the bus, if she wasn't already that traitor,
so I just guess the odds of her being a traitor are higher now.
- With the numbers getting smaller, the chances of finding them increase.
- Surely. - True.
If tonight's vote goes my way and...
(SIGHS) Chloe is gone,
hopefully we're just left with one traitor.
- Who's left?
BOTH: Hannah. Maruia.
- Maria. - Maria. - I think it's Maruia.
- Maria would be a smart kill, to be honest, cos she's pretty on to it.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Hello! - Kia ora. - Knock at the door. (LAUGHS)
(GASPING) - Oh!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Who's left? BOTH: Hannah.
Maruia. BOTH: Maria.
- I think it's Maruia. - Maruia would be a smart kill,
to be honest, cos she's pretty on to it. (KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Come in!
- Oh, thank God! - Hey! The traitor hunter! - Interesting.
- Morena.
It's so nice to see you.
OK, so... So,
I think murdering Maria
will be too obvious
of a kill for me to have done it. - Yeah.
- And I would just plead the fifth, of, like, 'Guys, come on.' - Yeah.
- And it doesn't come back to you in any way either. - No.
Teach me — how do you sign a death warrant? (BOTH LAUGH)
- Do the honours, please. - Thank you.
- Bye, queen.
- Damn!
(LAUGHS) I didn't wanna die.
READS: Dear Maria, you have hereby been murdered.
Yours faithfully, the traitors.
I think that I was murdered
by Hannah,
to frame Keanu.
- I was convinced it was gonna be you. - I thought it was gonna be me.
- Did you get recruited?
- Yeah (!) - (LAUGHTER) - No, I know you're a bad liar,
so I know you would have been, like, 'Argh!'
- Honestly, I'm really upset to see that Maria was murdered.
- I didn't trust any of you. - I don't trust anyone.
I had made the decision today to
choose to trust her.
And so, knowing I'd made that decision,
and then seeing that she wasn't here,
it was really quite upsetting, yeah.
Oh my God.
At this point, I think I know who
one of the traitors might be,
and the other person who would have voted for Keanu
is no longer here.
- Maria was never, like, even 50% faithful, to me.
- No. - I couldn't get a read on her. So, like,
then I kind of just stopped trying to understand.
- Yeah. - And just, like, focussed on other people.
(LAUGHS) - Yeah, I know.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Come in.
- Hello.
My players, good morning.
Another sunrise —
another dead friend.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
(LAUGHTER) Apparently,
you murder her in cold blood.
Now, that's enough time for grief. Pop on your Sunday best,
and prepare for crocodile tears,
because today we have a mission to attend to.
We're off to church.
- Oh God. - Oh, and clean out your ears —
you're gonna need them.
See you at the chapel.
- Prepare for crocodile tears. - Ears?
- But what does that clean out your ears mean? - We're listening to something.
- Yeah.
- You all right? - Yeah. - I meet you outside.
- I thought Maria would be here.
- Oh, you lost your bestie.
- Well, at this point,
she was one of the only people I'd trust at the end. - Yeah.
- Today, my plan is to
speak to a couple of people that I believe to be faithfuls,
to essentially campaign for Keanu.
Like, there's so few of us now. The way that I'm working it out is
not so much who I think is a traitor;
it's more like, who am I willing to trust?
- Yeah. - So, in my head, it's, like, myself,
Maruia, you.
- Keanu, Violette.
- See, I think it's Keanu. I do.
- Aw. - I think his behaviour last night at the round table was whack.
It was so out of character.
He's throwing out that I'm angry,
that he's scared of me.
- Hannah, I'm really scared of you.
So I'm really nervous to bring this up, but, like,
it feels like you're angry at me.
- He believes I'm a faithful,
but he votes for me, this late in the game?
Does Keanu look like he's scared of anyone in this manor,
let alone me? I just don't buy it.
Like, his behaviour was so odd to me last night.
I don't believe it for one second that he's scared of me.
I just don't know if anyone else sees it,
which has me thinking he is
playing us extremely well.
Yeah, I don't know. What do you think? (SIGHS)
- Harrison — that emotion was so intense.
- I just connect with you. This is really hard.
(SOBS)
- It could be that intense,
because you are a traitor, as well.
- I feel like Hannah still trusts me.
And right now, with so many of the other players questioning me,
I need every person I can get on my side.
I was so blinded for so long with James,
because I just didn't wanna look in certain places.
And that's how I feel about Keanu. - Yeah.
- And that's scary. - Yeah. No one wants to look at Keanu,
and holy shit, Maria was my other vote for him,
and she is gone now.
- I feel like I owe Keanu, and I don't wanna turn on him.
So,...
ugh, it's... (SIGHS) a really tricky one.
- There's a new traitor amongst us.
Everything I thought I knew doesn't even matter any more.
I know I should be celebrating. It was because of my dagger
that I was able to banish a traitor last night.
But everyone that I have built a profile on in my head,
I've gotta reset that, because
anyone could have been seduced.
- I don't think it's gonna be, like someone that we've, like,
never suspected before. - Nah, I don't think so either.
It's such an easy choice, when you think about it. - It is.
- Oh, true. - Oh, you guys are talking about Chloe, aren't you?
BOTH: Yeah. Aw! (CHUCKLES)
- I feel like the existing traitor, or the leftover traitor last night,
they want something obvious, so they can dispose of. - Yeah. Yeah.
- If I were the traitor, I would have done that. - 100%.
- I wanna win this with Chloe. We've really gotten to know each other,
and I think she deserves the money.
But the heat on her isn't a good thing.
I think me and Chloe have got a lot to talk about.
- That's what I was thinking last night too — I was, like, either way,
whether she's been one from the start or whether she's seduced overnight,
she's gone tonight anyway.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC)
- I'm quite happy we got to, like, have the Jimnys the whole time,
cos I've been wanting to one of these for ages cos they're so cute.
And I didn't know if it would be big enough to have a car seat in.
But I feel like there's heaps of room in the back.
- I'm just, like, actually, so braindead.
- I'm trying to be so positive and, like, enjoy these last days,
but it's really hard cos you're kind of, like, yeah, but...
- Yeah. I know. - But people are lying, and I don't know who know.
- I feel like we're at the point where we can't afford to miss.
I'm so careful with what I say, cos I'm, like,
I don't want to be the reason we missed.
Cos also, now just the odds of you
speaking with a traitor are so high,
like, at all times.
- I'm just glad, like, I was able to put that dagger to use — you know? - Yeah, hard.
- I got something right! - She finally got it! - (LAUGHS)
- I think that's how Debbie felt, too.
- Yeah. - Oh man. She was just so happy, eh?
- Yeah. Even at breakfast this morning. - She really,
really needed that pick-me-up. - Yeah. - (LAUGHS)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- ♪ How did it all end? ♪
- (SOBS)
(SOBS)
(SNIFFLES, SOBS)
(BLOWS NOSE, SOBS)
Shh!
WHISPERS: Have some respect for the dead.
- This church we walk into is beautiful.
This ancient stonework.
And then we see the portraits of our fellow players,
that the traitors have murdered.
And I just thinking, 'Oh, my goodness, Keanu.
'Look at the mess that you've made.' (LAUGHS)
- Remorse? No. No. Remorse and me —
No.
- Welcome, saints and sinners.
Before you lies the memorial
of seven faithfuls.
Now, you'll see
on the table next to you,
there are seven of their personal items.
As a group, your mission is to decide which item
belongs to which person
and place it on the appropriate shrine.
For every completed shrine, you will earn
$1350
worth of silver for the prize pot,
so potentially
$9450 all up.
- I'm hoping that everyone is able to just lock in and add that money.
- There's just one other thing.
Ew. (WAILING)
Nah, nah. No, thanks.
No. Yuck.
(WAILING)
Ew. No.
(WAILING)
Horrific. It's absolutely horrific. It's the worst sound
I've heard in a very long time.
- It seems you are not the only
people mourning the loss of your fallen faithful.
(WAILING)
- (WAILS)
- All right. Silence. That's enough. - Oh, thank God. - Thank you.
- These cheery gals will be sharing
this space with you.
But be aware — you may not touch them,
and they may not touch you.
Do so, and you'll be eliminated from the mission.
For your own safety, you will be blindfolded
while transporting the possessions to the shrines.
Relying only on your teammates to guide you.
Come on.
These prized possessions aren't gonna return themselves.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Who will go first?
- WHISPERS: Can I go? BOTH: Yeah.
- Please put on your blindfold.
- I put my hand up because I think that I can do this one.
I just wanna get it done.
- You sure can. Yep. - Isn't that, um...?
- The hat's Maria's. - Maria's. I'm going for Maria's.
- We knew it was Maria's beret, because she, actually,
in the previous mission, got slime on it. Yeah, I definitely remember that.
- I've probably got the biggest mouth — I could do it. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHTER)
I hate that everyone agreed with me. - OK. Self-awareness.
- The team agrees on something pretty quickly —
Keanu's got the loudest mouth, so he'll be able to guide us through.
- Wait. Straighten your body up a little bit more.
Yeah, OK. Debbie, just try and channel my voice. - Yeah.
I trust in Keanu to direct me through.
- I'm gonna tell you to take two steps forward.
A little bit more. A little bit more.
OK, now step to the left. Yep, a little bit. Just take little steps.
There you go. Keep going forward. Nice little steps.
- Debbie is listening to Keanu's instructions.
She's moving really well. She's not rushing. She's not panicking.
- We're gonna wait. We're gonna wait. Let's go. Now try and pick up your pace a little bit more.
- I didn't realise
that they were going to move at some point.
- Going straight. No, no, no, no. Keep going where you're going. Direction's perfect.
Perfect. You're in the right direction. A little bit faster, a little bit faster.
One of them's coming just behind you. Keep going, keep going, and
halt.
Perfect. - Oh my God!
- Get it!
- That was so good. - Love your work, Debs.
- I felt a great sense of accomplishment with that one.
Who's next? I'll go. I'll go next. - Let's get it.
- OK. - Who am I taking? Elliot? Should I do Elliot?
Which one's him? The shorts? All right. ALL: Yeah.
- This is gonna be easy.
I just need to take Elliot's shorts to his photo.
- Yeah, OK, you're good. Now go forward. Keep going.
- He's instructing me to walk slowly, take small steps. I was, like, 'Yep, yep.'
- Ooh. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, you're good. Keep going.
- They're going, 'Ooh!' in my ear, and I've got the blindfold on.
And it's, like, the creepiest thing you've ever heard in your life.
- OK, now go. Go fast. Go fast.
- Meanwhile, I've got Keanu trying to direct me where to go.
- Wait. Wait. And now go, go, go, go, go!
- And he just says to me, 'Go!'
- Go, go, go!
- And then all of a sudden, I just hear this...
- Argh! - (BLEEP)! - Oh!
- And I was almost at Elliott's photo.
- Unfortunately, Maruia,
you have been touched by a weeping woman. - Sorry, guys.
- It's all right. - Please leave the church.
- Wah! I didn't get any money on that one.
- I'm gonna take Rachael's beanie.
After we've been so at each other for the last few days,...
- Go forward. - Argh! - Yep. You're good. Keep going.
- ...honestly, it's quite nice to work together as a team.
- Right. Right, yep. She's right there.
Perfect.
(APPLAUSE) - Oh.
- I see Jannaia's nose ring, and I just go for it.
- Go.
- I used to dance before I had kids,
so not finding it that hard.
- And stop. Go, go, go a little bit more. Yeah, stop. And now to your left.
He's on your left-hand side. Keep shuffling, keep shuffling, keep shuffling.
Perfect. He's right in front of you. (WAILING)
- I just don't wanna stuff up. I wanna make sure I get the money in the kitty.
And when you're getting close to them, it gets louder and louder in your ears.
- Gun it, gun it, gun it, gun it, gun it. Stop. She's right in front of you.
(WAILING)
- I can go next.
I've taken Dave's ring,
and his shrine is on the far left,
so it's quite a difficult location to actually get to, so I'm a bit nervous.
- Forward. Yep. You're doing good. Keep going.
Go, go, go, go, go, go. Perfect.
- It's actually really creepy. (LAUGHS)
- Turn your body to the left,
and it's right in front of you.
Boom! Perfect. - Ooh! (APPLAUSE)
And, finally, Keanu. (APPLAUSE)
- OK. Let's go. - All right, Keanu. Keep going. Keep going.
Stop. Move forward. Small steps.
Go! - Gun it. - ALL: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- All right. - Stop. Ooh. - Now, shuffle to the right.
You've got three people to go. One more step. One more step.
You're at Mike. Put it down.
- Nice. - Very nice. - Yay!
We work together really well as a team.
We only had one player who didn't make it all the way to the end,
and finally, we won some money.
- Well done, players.
You have survived the cries of the weeping women
and returned six items to their fallen owners,
who will now rest in peace —
a beret for Maria,
a beanie for Rachael, a hair clip for Samantha,
a nose ring for Jannaia,
a ring for Dave and a pair of glasses for Michael.
You have made $8100 for the prize pot.
- Oh my gosh. To actually see the prize pot go up, for once,
is a pretty good feeling.
- Get out of here.
Don't forget to bless yourselves on the way out.
- We might have been bad at observing traitors,
but we were definitely observing each other's wardrobes.
- I got eliminated from the challenge, so it was real frustrating,
but there's not a lot of time left,
and there's not a lot of opportunities to talk to people,
kind of, one on one.
Hannah seems a bit low today. - Hannah seems... - Yeah.
- Off. - Yeah. - As hell.
- She was quiet at breakfast. - Very.
- She didn't say a word at breakfast. - Yeah.
I know that Violette's still pretty hot on Chloe,
but something that I was mindful of, coming into today,
was whose energy has shifted,
who's acting different.
And for me, she has been.
She seems like a bit of a fighter,
and I don't know whether she'd tap out like that. - Yeah.
Hannah is the threat to my game,
so of course I'm gonna egg on
their on suspicions of her.
- It's always in the back of my mind, eh, because it is hard.
and we're all humans. - We're all humans, and we show genuine emotion,
but we don't know the motivation behind those emotions. BOTH: Yeah.
- I think I could convince people that Hannah is a traitor.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- It was sad to see our fallen comrades today.
- Yes. - Mm. - Yeah.
It was. - We smashed, like, knowing who stuff was what, though.
ALL: Yeah. - And we were all pretty certain too, eh.
- The heat that's on Chloe isn't a good thing,
but I have a feeling that we could
turn the tables on Hannah and get her out.
The only thing is, Chloe's nervous
about people finding out that Hannah's a faithful,
because it'll leave her as the last player
in the death match.
People already are suspect that a traitor was a part of that game.
- (CLEARS THROAT)
- Oh.
I'm really struggling at the moment, because Hannah still trusts me.
And if I get to the end of this game as a traitor,
I need faithfuls that trust me.
Oh.
- So, I know you're not on the Chloe wagon —
who are you thinking about tonight?
- Keanu. Still Keanu. - Yeah. - Mm. That's fair.
- The traitor is someone who has a
lot of social control over the group,
and I think Keanu fits the bill.
Again, I've said this — Brad threw out Keanu to me.
And I was, like, it just didn't track.
His behaviour didn't track to me.
- Hannah's definitely throwing my name around,
and I would rather be on the offence than the defence.
- I think it's hard for myself, as a faithful,
to imagine that people are so boldly and blatantly lying,
but that is... - It's the game, man. - ...the game.
- Yo, my ear's ringing. (BOTH CHUCKLE) - Is it me?
BOTH: Am I the drama? (CHUCKLES)
I feel like we don't have much time left, and I wanna go and talk to other people.
- Yeah, I've just tried to talk to everyone before.
- Do you wanna go down there, have a chat? - Me?
- Yeah. - Of course.
- I don't know. - If you feel the most confused, just write my name.
I'm so tired. (LAUGHS) - Eh? Say that again?
- If you feel confused in the moment, just write my name.
- I have massive question marks about Keanu,
and I wonder whether or not he's been keeping me in this game.
You know, there was one time that I was suspicious of you.
And then after the Harrison banishment, I was just,
like, 'Nah.' - That's what I mean — it's like, bro, I'm not.
- Like, nah. All those suspicions were just, like, mm-mm.
- I'm just like, I'm not an actor, bro. Like, that was like real shit.
- I just told him that I did suspect him at one stage and I don't any more,
because if he is a traitor, I want him to feel like I wouldn't come after him,
and maybe that might keep me here tomorrow.
- And that's why I'm, like, 'Hannah, you can accuse me, but, like, please bring receipts.'
- Bring receipts. - Yeah. Like, last night just felt like a whole lot of nothing.
- She's been off today, man. - She's been off as, and she's, like, scrambling around.
- I know. - And especially after a recruitment,
it's like the energy has to have shifted.
- Mm-hm. And that energy is so different now.
- It's different.
- But whether or not I vote for her will just depend on how the vibe of the table goes.
- Room goes.
- ♪ Let the games begin.
- Oh, it's definitely me versus Hanna tonight.
My pawns are ready, so,
yeah, let's play some chess.
- ♪ Play the best for me.
- Oh my gosh. It's gonna be absolute warfare.
I feel like there's a very high chance
it's gonna be 50/50 between
Keanu and Hannah.
- I am planning on confronting Keanu.
I'm not gonna start a fight,
but I feel like I'll finish one.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
(MUSIC CRESENDOES)
♪ Let the games begin. ♪
- Welcome to another round table.
Tonight, seven players entered,
but only six of you will remain in this game.
You've earned $8100 today —
one of the biggest hauls in the game so far.
The total prize pot has grown to $60,000.
- WHISPERS: Wow.
- But don't let that figure distract you.
This is your second to last round table.
You have arrived at the pointy end.
Consider everyone.
Then consider them again.
Interrogate everyone.
Stay cold.
Stay ruthless.
Make this one count.
You may discuss.
- I think if we're dealing with a selfish traitor,
that was left over last night, they'd wanna get to the end by themselves.
And the easiest move is to recruit Chloe and throw her under the bus.
So I think if you weren't a traitor yesterday,
the likelihood of you being one right now is pretty high,
if we're dealing with a selfish one. - Honestly, a fair point.
This is why I'm so tired today, because I was literally up all night waiting for a knock on my door —
even this morning, I was hearing phantom knocks. (ALL LAUGH)
But I don't know why. - Yeah. - I don't know why,
because I literally think the exact same thing,
and there's nothing more that I can say for that, but I am a faithful —
I don't know what else to say.
- The same thing stands for me, Chloe — like, I don't get traitor vibes from you,
but I just don't know if you're a faithful. - Here I am.
- Yeah, and I guess, like, I know all of us,
as faithful are thinking, like, we want to be able to get to the end,
with people that we're semi-confident could be faithful,
and I'm just, like, statistically,
the odds of you being a traitor — like, I couldn't trust that at the end.
- Well, I mean, you've been on me for days with nothing but,
'Harrison told me to revenge'ance vote, so...
I haven't been wanting to throw your name out, because I don't wanna go tit for tat, but, like,
how were you so sure that Harrison was a faithful?
And you were so sure that Dave was a faithful,
but you knew Aroha was a traitor, but you were wrong.
And now you know that I'm a traitor, but you're wrong again.
- I think the thing with, like,
the likelihood of you being recruited is, I guess, what's raising that for me.
But, like, having integrity as a faithful, like,
if you're gonna go after someone, you keep going, and if you're wrong, you're wrong.
Like, I don't feel any type of way for people voting for Harrison,
other than him literally telling me to go for you. - Yeah.
It's just that, to me, does not give integral voting as a faithful —
that's just you going for vengeance for your mate.
Does anyone else have anything?
- I just wanna start by looking at
you all dead in the eye.
I'm faithful.
Harrison leaving — there's no way in hell
I could have put that on. Like, I'm not an actor.
That's my first point. My second point is,
my whole life,
I feel like I haven't belonged.
I know I belong in this game. I know I'm a faithful,
I know I belong at this table.
I can't talk with this much conviction if I'm not telling the truth.
Hannah,
I didn't think that you were a traitor,
but I feel like you were recruited last night.
Your energy today has been different.
- I just wanna jump in there. I've noticed an energy shift in you today too,
Hannah. - Mm-hm.
- You didn't seem very excited to be here this morning,
which is different to most mornings.
And you've just been off.
- There's another interesting thing - I've been thinking about two nights ago,
where, Hannah, you opened the round table with my name,
raising Jannaia,
and brought a
ridiculous argument to the table,
that I removed Jannaia from the game because he was fit.
And I can't help but think you have been trying to set me up.
- Oh, God, it's so sad sitting here,
knowing that we are being played.
And I'm more convinced than ever, Keanu,
that you are a traitor.
I can speak to my energy being different.
I had decided this morning,
the people that I was going to choose to trust,
and Maria was one of them.
So to walk in and see that she wasn't here,
it was, like, 'God. Like, my gut is right,
'and yet she's not here.'
Now, the thing about you, Keanu, is that yesterday,
in the car, I said to Violette and Keanu,
straight to your face, that you two are my top suspects.
Guys, for reals, you two are so high up on my
'might be a traitor' list. - (LAUGHS) - But, like, honestly.
No, but, like, honestly. - Please banish me now.
- And I think that's potentially one of the first times that anyone has
ever said, like, not just jokingly, we suspect each other, but,
like, fully, like, 'I suspect you,' to Keanu's face.
All of a sudden, comes to the round table,
with borderline nothing.
I don't believe for one second that you're scared of anyone here,
but I certainly don't believe that you're scared of me.
You then say that you believe I'm a faithful,
but this late in the game,
you waste a vote on me —
it's giving James and Debbie 2.0,
but just slightly less. (LAUGHTER)
No, it really is. - That's your opinion, then that's your opinion.
- Hold on. I'm not finished, darling.
I can confidently say Maria was suspicious of you —
conveniently gone,
and I find it so interesting that you come for me
and claim that I'm setting you up.
I'm telling you guys right now, vote me, I don't care;
I'm gonna stand there, I'm gonna say I'm a faithful. - And so am I.
- OK, but you're the only person that has behaved in a way
that I think is uncharacteristic for you.
I think it was kind of out of whack. - Sorry — what was uncharacteristic for me?
Cos I've kept my energy a buck. One thing about me — my energy hasn't changed.
- I'm not talking about your energy. - From the moment I walked in to this door and to this very moment,
I'm sitting in the seat. I am not a switch-up type of girl.
Like, that's not been a thing. - You're not a switch-up, OK,
but you literally said you believe I'm a faithful, and then you voted for me last time.
- Yeah, cos I was confused. Like, I don't understand how you're not understanding that.
- No, I understand it — I just don't believe you at this point.
- Well, I'm sorry — you're wrong right now. because I'm not a traitor.
- And maybe I am, but the problem is it was out of character.
- That's enough. It's voting time.
- ♪ I'm falling apart.
- Please write down the name of the player you want banished.
♪ I know it's gonna hurt. ♪
- The traitor is Keanu.
But at the end of the day,
all I can do is share my truth.
- Easiest move for me to save myself would be to throw her under the bus,
but if Hannah gets up there, says she's a faithful, tomorrow,
they're probably gonna try and banish me.
Ugh! I'm so torn.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- You will now, one by one, reveal your votes.
Chloe, whose name did you write down, and why?
- (SIGHS)
Hannah and I are trauma bonded from our death match,
and you guys are all falling for whatever this play is,
so I cannot bring myself to vote for you,
and the only person I can think of is Violette.
You've finally got a vote, my love. - That's my first one.
(BOTH LAUGH) Made it.
- Keanu.
- Maruia, you can't go un-voted.
It's not gonna start tonight. Sorry, Hannah — you got my vote.
(LAUGHTER)
- I was, like, wow. (LAUGHTER)
- Aaron. - This game's really hard, at this point,
and it is about trying to figure out where you can place your trust.
Hannah, I think the person that I can trust the least at this point.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- Debbie. - Hannah, I think this is probably
about the third time I've put your name down.
I think you were closely aligned with James,
and that's why you've got my vote tonight.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
- Hannah, who have you voted for,
and why?
- I do hope I'm wrong. Keanu.
- WHISPERS: I promise you, you are.
- That's three votes for Hannah,
one for Violette
and one for Keanu.
Maruia,
who have you voted for, and why?
- I wasn't compelled enough to sway my vote any other way,
so I'm voting for you tonight, Hannah.
- Violette.
- I'm so sorry, my day-one friend,
but I'm voting for you.
- Oh.
- Hannah,
you have received the most votes and are banished from the game.
Please join me here.
- At the end of the day,
people are always going to be driven by their
own thoughts and feelings.
For me, it's just about
holding my own integrity.
- Hannah, before you leave the game forever,
please reveal if you are a faithful or if you are a traitor.
- No hard feelings, honestly.
Quick story, though. For my 30th birthday,
I played a four-day game of traitors with my family,
and I was a traitor, and I won.
And that's why getting to spend my birthday this year playing was so special,
as a faithful.
(POIGNANT MUSIC)
- I have no words.
And, frankly, the pain on your faces says it all.
Pertinent to remember, though —
some of you are pretending.
Perhaps you're a traitor, who has just
removed another opponent in the way.
The traitors will rendezvous tonight for the final time.
Sleep if you can.
Tomorrow, the endgame is nigh.
- I'm just confused, cos I'm, like, I don't think any of us felt like
she was really trusting or close with Maria.
I'd never picked that up.
- Oh, my God, I need a drink. - Yeah.
Aw. Poor Hannah.
- And the fact that there's two left is just,
like, mind-boggling to me now.
I knew she was gonna come for me. I knew I had to defend myself.
It was punch for punch, and I got the knockout.
- Ooh, fire's going.
- Straight to that bar.
- Hey, you slayed tonight.
That's how you do it. - I just feel bad, cos, like,
I didn't wanna come across like I'm trying to attack her or anything.
It's just, like, I know my truth, girl.
- That's a lie — I don't believe he slayed it;
I believe I saw cracks in his performance,
but I'd ended up voting for Hannah anyway —
I don't want to raise any mistrust,
on my part, with Keanu.
- She's the one person today who was behaving differently. - Mm-hm.
Which is a mistake to make in a game like this,
at this point of the game. - Yeah.
- I've got one more murder that I need to survive,
and I will tell whatever lie I have to, to stay in this game.
- She was definitely off today. She was definitely off today, but I don't know —
like, the whole thing for me in this game is I've tried to,
literally, play with integrity, which is why I went for Harrison, and then I got burnt by that,
cos I was trying to look at my friends,
and then that completely buggered my whole life.
- I was tossing between wanting to get out Chloe or Hannah.
If you're recruited this late in the game, as, like,
a throwaway person, you look upset. - That is exactly what you would do. - Why did she do that, then,
if she knew she wasn't? - She looked off all day.
- Now, statistically speaking,
the probability of Chloe being a traitor is higher than anyone else
that's left at the moment.
(CLOCKS CHIME)
- OK. Bye, darling.
I'll see you tomorrow. (LAUGHS) - Goodnight. - See ya.
I'm not going to end this game,
until she's no longer in it.
- Goodnight.
- (LAUGHS)
And I'm just thinking, 'Oh, my God, you did it, Keanu —
'You made it to the final.
'Now, how do you win this thing?
'What is the next move? How are you gonna play this out?'
The last murder — I have to play this one
really strategically,
to get me to the end and win this.
I was sweating. I honestly thought tonight was my night, but I,
kind of, ate that. - Yeah, you did good.
You did good. - You did so good. You're not voting for her was genius.
- I think it's genius, and I think voting for Violette, I think it was perfect,
because tonight when we kill Violette, which I hope you're on board with,
it's too obvious. Why would I do that?
It's just keeping to frame me.
- I think it'll cause more suspicion for Chloe,
if we take out Violette, and she's also someone that I think trusts me,
so I think I could keep her close.
OK. Violette could be a good kill,
cos she has thrown your name out there.
We could do Aaron.
If we can turn them on each other and get to a three —
just me, you and someone else,
we win.
Aaron and Violette have really connected. I can tell that
they know that they're faithfuls
and they plan to go to the end together.
- I think Aaron could be a bad idea,
because he's potentially more persuadable, though.
And then there's Maruia.
- Mm. - Maruia would be a great kill, cos she is strong,
and she is suspecting me.
- Maruia is a strong game player. She's never even received a vote at the round table before,
so I'm pretty sure everyone knows she's a faithful.
I think getting rid of her is getting rid of a really strong player.
OK, we've got some good options here.
- We've gotta take the risk. That's what this game is all about.
- I agree.
So we can party after this and celebrate our winnings.
- We can afford to party after this. (BOTH LAUGH)
Whoever I murder, eyes are on me anyway.
- This is our last murder — let's make it count.
(LAUGHS)
- Might as well just do something fun and different and keep them on
their toes right till the very end.
- Next time —
after weeks of lying,...
- I mean, you probably were giving traitor vibes to start with.
- It's time to question Keanu.
I've got a strong hunch on Chloe.
...deception...
- No one's ever looked at her. Like, why has her name never come up? - Mm.
- ...and betrayal,...
- No one has brought her name up.
I think she's super-intelligent. - Mm.
- ...the end is in sight.
- I'm basically willing to take you all the way.
- Which player...
- Ohhh.
- ...is willing to push themselves
to the absolute limit...
- Oh my God! I have to get this right.
...for the ultimate prize?
- No amount of money could put my moral compass on turning on people that I care about.
- I don't wanna write your name, because I've loved
every moment I've had here with you.
- I think that you're the faithful I'm sitting with at this table.
- I'm just gonna put it all out there.
