Welcome to The Traitors Castle.

Ross I met 15 years ago.

Judy seems lovely,

but I'm bound to say that,

considering she's my mum.

Three Traitors were selected,

but a Secret Traitor was also chosen.

That Secret Traitor will work alone.

Each night they will provide you with a murder shortlist.

You can only murder one of the people

that is on the murder shortlist.

As the first kill threw doubt on one player...

There is no way in the world I killed Nettie.

As a Traitor, you might say that.

Suspicions grew throughout the castle.

-Who are you thinking now? -Ross.

If any one of you are a Traitor and he's a Traitor,

I'll be murdered tonight.

A heated Round Table...

Jade, you just looked scared.

I cannot control how my body reacts.

I was swaying towards Sam.

Judy. -Judy.

Led to a revealing banishment.

I am a Faithful.

But who's next on the Secret Traitor's murder shortlist?

Ben, Reece or Maz.

Three males. That's a female who's done that.

That is a woman.

And are the Traitors any closer to finding the Secret Traitor

hidden amongst them?

This is The Traitors.

"You must murder one of the following Faithful tonight -

"Ben,

"Reece

"or Maz."

So who insists on killing Maz?

This is what's making me think that sometimes

the Secret Traitor is on the same page as us,

that they want to really, really confuse people.

-Ben would completely rock the castle. -Yeah.

Rock the castle!

Ben has not a single link back to any of us.

Right.

-No. -He's got a link back to Ross,

-who's already digging his own grave. -Mm.

Reece is also a great person to murder as well.

It also implicates Adam, because Reece was really random

in voting for Adam tonight.

-Yeah. -Maz didn't get a single vote.

Oh, this is hard.

What's going to help us confuse the life out of people

and make people realize that nobody's safe?

-Do we want to do it? -Yeah.

I mean, that would... that would be an earthquake.

I can't wait to see what happens from this.

I honestly think breakfast tomorrow is going to be chaos.

Last night, the Traitors committed their second murder

from the Secret Traitor's shortlist.

So which Faithful will be missing out on breakfast this morning?

Oh.

-Just us. -We're first!

Being first down to breakfast felt really good.

I did have my concerns last night.

I can see what the Traitors' current game is.

But the beauty of being under fire is it is tempering you,

and tempered steel is tough.

You guys must have slept well.

-As well as I could! -Yeah.

Because I was, like, so happy after getting a Shield

and then we obviously had it out at the Round Table and I was like...

I was like... I was like, "Oh, God, oh, God."

I'm suspicious of Amanda

for trying to essentially put a target on my back

for literally no reason.

I feel that she's really

trying to prove a point and I'm really just not buying it.

Today's a new day.

Mm. Do you know what it is? -Go on.

You really remind me of, like, a scary schoolteacher.

And you are older than me, so, like, I'm like, "Oh, God."

You've just got to remember, Jade, it's a game.

-No, I know it's a game. -Yeah.

-I'm not playing that down at any point... -Yeah, yeah.

But it just... I know you said it wasn't personal,

but, for me, it was still, like, overwhelming.

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Oh, God. -Come in.

Come in.

This morning in breakfast, I felt good

because now that I've made it through one Round Table,

I'm feeling much more confident.

However, it's stressing me out that there is another Traitor

in this castle and I currently have no idea who they are.

Put this on there, because you're making a mark on the table.

-Oh, sorry. -It literally does just say "cow" on it.

-There you go, guys. -How did you sleep?

Oh, I was stressing. I just knew yesterday

I put myself out there quite a lot.

-Yeah. -They're now going to see me as a threat.

But, you know, like, 17 people voted for one person.

Mm.

I think that's a perfect night for the Traitors,

because they were, like, sitting back, listening,

and then just jumping on the bandwagon.

Yeah. -Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Come in. -Come in.

-You look lovely, Rachel. -Oh, so do you.

I think breakfast is really telling, so when we come into the room

you're being watched like a hawk,

because people tend to overreact,

and I need to just make sure that my reactions are on point.

But I need to look for a potential Secret Traitor's reactions, too.

The uncertainty of not knowing who they are,

it's a pain in the backside.

That was stressful.

-That was stressful. -That wasn't very nice.

No, I'm going to go for tea.

Who's left? Who's left?

Ben, James, Maz and Nettie. Oh, and Hugo.

Hugo's quite clever, isn't he?

-Yeah. -When I heard he was a barrister,

I thought, like, personally, even I would feel kind of scared

to go up against him at the Round Table,

because his job is literally...

To argue. -To argue.

He has been quieter, hasn't he?

But maybe because of his profession,

he's trying to build those cases before he actually comes out.

I mean, I think that if I were a Traitor

and I knew that there was a hotshot barrister

sitting across the table from me,

I would be reluctant to keep that barrister in place.

It's like if we found out someone here was a detective,

we would feel exactly the same way.

Could you imagine if one of us was secretly a detective?

Yeah.

Plot twist.

Amazing undercover work.

Yeah. -I'm really impressed.

Oh.

-Come in. -Come in.

Yes!

Again, again.

I am very chipper this morning.

I think me and my fellow Traitors have been playing

an absolute blinder.

They say that pride comes before a fall.

But so far,

everything is going really in favor of the Traitors.

Who's left to come in?

Ellie.

Ben.

Reece.

Maz.

Ben? That would be random, wouldn't it?

-Ben would be a real left-field kill. -It would.

Reece, for me, is like a 50/50 at the moment.

But how weird was it that he voted for you?

Yeah, that's the only thing that threw me last night.

What a weird, wayward vote.

Ellie. Oh, Ellie. I love Ellie so much.

-Not Ellie. -I know.

Oh. Come in.

I've got my glasses on.

Wait, wait, wait. Who's...?

Ben. -Ben? It's Ben!

-Ben! -Oh, no. He was the nicest person.

I don't see a downside to Ben.

I'm on Ben.

He's got a link back to Ross.

He said, in the library this evening,

"If I go, it's Ross."

If I was a Faithful and he was murdered,

-I'd think, "Oh, my God." -Oh, my God.

That is what makes people scramble even more.

Oh, dear. Here we go.

Let's read it out.

"Dear Ben, by order of the Traitors, you have been murdered.

"Signed, the Traitors."

I'm very sad, and I'm broken-hearted,

but I have won anyway just by playing the game.

Hmm?

Ben last night said, "If I'm not here in the morning, look at who?"

Well, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, before we do that,

before we do that, can we just have a moment?

Because Ben, I was next to him yesterday

and I was sweating a bit,

but that senior gentleman was giving absolutely everything.

Yeah, yeah, for the mission, he was.

That was a tough mission, that hill,

two thirds of the way through.

Whoever has done that is beyond mean.

Oh, my God.

Why did he do that?

Like, he literally commanded the room.

That's a little bit much.

Jess, who did he say? Because I can't remember.

He did doubt...

Ross last night, in the library.

Did he say Ross? -Yeah, he did.

Oh.

Good morning, players.

Morning.

I'll tell you who it's not a good morning for.

Ah.

Ben.

Last night,

Ben was brutally murdered by the Traitors.

It's bloody mean.

For the rest of you, life at the castle continues.

But if you don't find a Traitor soon,

it's only going to get harder.

Do you get the picture?

-Yes. -Yeah.

I'll see you at the mission.

Wait, what?

Get the picture. It's going to be a picture mission.

Ahhh.

Jess, could you tell me everybody

that was in earshot of Ben saying that, though?

That's what I'm trying to work out.

Because... -Because why is...?

Like, it's really getting pinned on you here.

No, no.

And I'm like, would you be that daft?

Ben's damning words

from beyond the grave

have pointed towards me.

I've been framed!

They got me. They got me real good.

Show me the money!

Oh, got one in.

-Can you play snooker? -I'll try.

What are we doing, rules wise?

Just smash the thing. -Fairs.

How are you thinking? Because I've not actually spoken

to you a massive amount yet.

Yesterday, obviously, you were running around

a million miles per hour saying it was Matt.

Yeah, so I'm doing a ranking system.

-OK. -Obviously, I can't be sure on anyone.

-Of course. -Matt's still my number one.

-So why did you not vote for Matt? -He's on my podium.

So what's your ranking system now?

OK, if I'm doing my gold,

the James Traitors' Podium of Doom is Matt.

He's up there tonight, unless something changes.

Ross is pushing it a bit.

And probably Amanda third at the minute.

Don't look for one, look for few.

I want to talk with you two. Right.

Let's go in the... There's a little courtyard thingamajiggy.

I really don't want Ben's murder

to be dismissed,

because it's just too easy

to pin it on Ross.

Ben said,

"If I'm not here, that means that it's Ross."

James, who are you thinking now?

Matt's still up there for me. Who else?

After tonight, Ross.

If any one of you are a Traitor

and he's a Traitor, you'll get it back to him tonight

and I'll be out tomorrow. I'll be murdered tonight.

There must have been a Traitor that heard that.

In that room.

It was me, who...?

Stephen. -Fiona.

-Ellie. -James.

I do have now doubts about who was in that room.

I don't doubt Ellie as much.

Good, good.

I don't know what it is. -No, no, no, no, that's fair.

I'd agree with that. -I'm now looking at...

Stephen. -Stephen.

I personally just cannot imagine him as a Traitor

and that's really dangerous for me.

No, no, no. -Yeah.

But that would play the perfect role.

I don't think the Traitors have paid attention

to the fact that there was only a limited amount of people

that would have that information,

and so that small handful will be under scrutiny.

-Why Ben? -Why? Why Ben?

-Have you got anyone in mind? -I've got nothing,

because I've got no evidence.

When you came in, you said,

"Listen, you need to look at body language."

-Yeah. -And face color

and things happen psychologically when you're nervous.

I mean, I'm not a... I'm not a doctor or anything.

-I don't... -Of course, yeah, yeah.

I was trying to give Fiona some sort of

tools for her toolbag, which is a good thing.

It's a good thing for everybody.

There are people playing this game who are cleverer than others.

There are people playing this game

who aren't strong,

and they are easily swayed.

Look at people that you know

that were on your carriage to see if there's any sign,

just a sign.

So far,

I've played this dotty little Welsh woman.

They'll just see me as a little bit clueless,

but never underestimate a woman of a certain age.

I had thought this morning, I was inclined to wonder about Hugo.

The way that he was chairing breakfast

was a bit like, "Mate, step down."

Given that I am hiding the fact that I'm an ex-barrister,

I feel that it's an interesting choice on his part

that he has not just been vocal about it,

but dear God, he's leaning in hard.

He came in to breakfast

and demanded a moment's silence

in the memory of Ben,

which just felt unbelievably hammy.

-Let's go in the sun. -Yeah.

At the breakfast table, I and a couple of others were saying

Hugo's interesting because he hasn't cross-examined,

-and we thought, as a barrister... -Well, I'd like to,

but I just don't want to dominate.

Who would have the balls to confront him at the Round Table?

Because, like...

-Well, I mean... -No, I think...

I would be... I'm happy to... I'm happy to take it on.

My strategy is I think we should all share information,

because if you look at the game, the Traitors are in a position

where they've got perfect information.

-They know everything. -Yeah, they know everything.

Whenever I get back, I write down how everyone voted,

which was easy last night.

Yeah. -Ohh.

But we must do that,

-because that's the best evidence. -That's actually helpful.

-That's actually so helpful. -Could you ever do murder trials?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do. Of course. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, my God. -Wow.

You can see why I didn't want to

come out with all this at the start because like,

"Well, who's this prick? He's the oldest guy here..."

-No, it's fascinating. -So I think we should be a bit more, like,

forensic, a bit more... more evidence-based.

But I didn't want to dominate it,

but please don't think that's a suspicious thing.

-No, not at all. -I'm cautious. I want to build...

I want to build something.

Hugo has shot himself in the foot massively.

People are starting to look at him.

I'll always be smiling,

as long as people are looking at... looking in the other direction.

The prize pot currently stands at £18,750.

As always, the Traitors and Faithful will have

to work together in today's mission if they want to bank more money.

Players, welcome to this mission.

Now, they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Well, today it could make you an awful lot of money.

I will tell you more about the mission in just a moment.

But first, I need you to split into two teams.

One team of 12 will stay here at the castle.

Seven will come with me to the old gallery,

which is where I keep all of the castle's artwork.

Only the seven that are going to the gallery with me

have the opportunity to win a Shield.

Before you split into teams, a heads-up -

at the end of the mission, I will announce who,

if anyone, has won a Shield.

Please split into teams.

Well, the ones who had one last night...

I would like a Shield for having something in my grave.

There's a very, very fine line

between coming across desperate for a Shield,

which could be misconstrued as

that's a Traitor trying to prove they're a Faithful,

or that's a Faithful that's really, really afraid of being murdered.

So I think it's just knowing when to push.

I am physical and I would love to run if...

-Yeah, I'm happy if you want to go. -She's fast. Go, go, go.

Is everyone happy? -Yeah.

Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah? OK.

Let me explain. Castle team,

there are six empty portrait frames in the castle.

All of these empty frames have a plaque describing the painting

that belongs in there.

Your job is to recreate that image.

That will then be sent to the old gallery.

Your job is to find the image

that replicates what has been sent to you.

For every correct painting that you identify,

I will add £1,000.

So you could add £6,000 to the prize fund today.

You have 60 minutes.

Good luck to all of you.

Gallery team, follow me. Come on.

-Good luck, guys. Smash it. -Good luck, guys.

-We've got this, yeah? -Come on.

You are joking.

Oh, this is going to be mad.

Players, welcome to my old art gallery.

Just so you know, there is a painting here with a Shield.

Are you ready for the mission to start?

-Yes. -OK.

Castle team, enormous luck.

You have 60 minutes.

Your time starts... now.

Right.

Let's go out the back.

The first few moments of the mission were just chaos.

-Come on, come on, come on. -We had to head inside to one of

the rooms where there would be empty picture frames.

Let's do it. Come on, let's do it. Let's get this one.

-Right. -Right, let's have a look.

And each empty picture frame

has a description on the plaque underneath.

And it's the team's job to re-enact what that plaque said.

"Tending the cattle."

Right. -Brilliant.

So two of us are going to have to be

-sleeping cows. -I'll be the young milkmaid

cuz I'm the youngest.

The youngest, yeah. And you are beguiling.

-I'm happy to be the milked cow. -Yes. That's fine.

I'll milk you.

The only artists I know -

Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You what?

-So you're going to have to be like... -No worries.

I've got this. Let's go, boys. Come on.

I can't wait to be a cow.

You've just got to dive into these challenges.

-So where do we set up? -Facing that way.

I think Jack had a really, really,

really good go at being a cow being milked.

Do you want to go, like, in front? Like that kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah. OK. Just be really careful where you grab him.

Right, you ready? Oh, my God.

You need more sad. More sad, Jack. More sad.

-This is good, you know. -A bit more udders.

-More udders. Yeah. Milk, milk, milk. -This is ridiculous.

I was on all fours. Faraaz was milking me.

Moooooo!

I had genuine tears rolling down my face.

But that was because of the laughter.

I'm crying!

But it worked perfectly for looking like a sad cow.

More aggressive milking.

I'm definitely not artsy, but if it's anything involving a camera,

then I'm not too shy about that.

I feel as if I'm fairly photogenic.

In position. Let me know when you're ready.

First painting.

Oh... -Oh, wow.

That looks like a New Year's Eve party I've been to.

OK, they're on a... Horses!

Start searching. -Yep, OK, go.

I'll go to the back.

It was, unsurprisingly, not easy.

And of course, there are about three or four

it could have been.

-What about that? -Horses...

I wouldn't say so, personally.

-Is that it? Possibly. -Someone milking a cow with

-two cows lying down. -Yeah, I think... I think that's right.

Whack it on the easel and see

if it tallied up with what they'd sent us.

Players, I can tell you

that you are correct.

£1,000 added to the pot.

Get in!

Has anyone seen anything about a Shield anywhere,

-being honest? -I haven't looked.

100%, the story is to build the prize pot,

but I'm looking for a Shield.

I want to be selfish. I want a Shield.

"Screaming infant.

"A weary mother cradles her wailing infant in a folly,

"whilst her grandfather and nephew remain idle and oblivious."

Do you want to be the grandfather?

I'll be the nephew? -Grandfather, nephew.

Are you the mum?

"A weary mother."

And then I'll... Then I'll be the infant.

Are you comfortable with me carrying you?

Yes.

I thought, I am big and strong enough to cradle somebody.

To the folly!

We've got a bandanna I can use to try and turn myself into babushka.

Let's get this done.

OK. Crying - I think, you know when a baby's like, "Waaa!"?

How's his expression?

Like, put the knuckles next to your...

Yeah. I am a creative director,

so I thought that this played right into my skill set.

Big cry. I think more "waaaaa!".

He was like, you know, just "waa" more.

Just more "waa" -ing.

OK. Two, one.

Oh! -So a lady crying. There's...

A baby crying.

-It's a baby. -That's a baby. That's a baby.

Yeah, yeah. -It's four figures.

Start searching.

I mean, we've all had childcare days like that.

Right, there's a picture of a baby crying there.

Is there? -But it's not...

Yeah, but they'd make more of the baby crying.

That's just a person, as well.

Guys, it's not this one, is it? There's a baby...

-Oh! -That just happens to be a redhead.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Cuz that could be...

It's somebody sleeping.

That could be conceived just as a redhead,

and somebody laying down.

Are we all in agreement? -Yeah, yeah.

So you've locked that one in.

Players, I can tell you you are incorrect.

-What?! -Incorrect?!

This is what you should have been looking for.

Oh, it's a baby crying! -I just said that!

You did, you did.

You also have to remember, guys, there is a Shield somewhere.

Here we are.

-Right. -OK.

It was a little bit chaotic.

Myself and Harriet - who'd have thought it? -

were going to be the couple in love.

Right. -I'll come in next to you.

Mm. -We'll do our lovers' embrace.

Ellie, dove. Give me your best bird.

Amanda, cheeky cherub. That's great.

But we need the little leg. Oh, we've got the little leg.

Oh, yeah! -Oi, oi! Here she is. OK, right.

Get your leg over, darling.

I can't believe I was pretending to French-kiss Harriet.

What am I doing?

Three, two, one.

Here we go. So what's happening?

Fountain and people kissing.

This is a very romantic image.

I said it would be undignified.

-What about that? -Ooh, and an angel.

And the kissing - kissing, angel, bird, fountain.

You've locked that painting in.

You are...

correct. -Yes!

Come on!

My fear is that no-one's going to get a Shield

and then we're buggered.

He was like, "Where's the Shield? I want the Shield. I want the Shield.

"I want the Shield. Where's the Shield?

"Find the Shield! This Shield, where's the Shield?"

Oh, my God! All bloody mission! He was driving me nuts.

I think he's a Faithful, I do.

But he's doing stuff that people - other people -

are going to be sitting there thinking, "That's Traitor-ish."

If we do the same again - you two in the middle,

you can be the horse, like, on all fours.

I like how none of them volunteered to be the cow or the horse.

They just assumed, you know, like, Jack can be an animal.

Someone on a horse with a weapon.

Players, half your time's gone. You have half an hour left.

Whatever Faraaz is doing to Jack,

he's definitely happy about it.

This is the second time you've mounted me today.

Ha-ha!

-I think I've got it. -Again?!

So with the fourth one,

honestly, I'm getting into the zone!

Maz, you're so good at this.

Yes, that's spot-on.

You've got a very good eye.

You are correct.

I didn't realize that I was such a art buff!

That's so many people!

That works, Jessie, because you're wearing a yellow thing, as well,

so we can see you there.

-Pick up the jumper a little bit, Ross. -And then look away.

-Right, a proposal. -Someone peeping over the gate.

Over a wall. -Oh, I've seen that!

I think it's somewhere over here.

That's it. Just remember what you've seen.

Oh, I've got it, I've got it. This guy's peeping over the wall.

-You're locked in? -Yep.

You are correct.

Right. Be a nana - put a headscarf on.

-Right. -OK. So flute is hands...

-this way round. -Yeah.

Yeah. One hand forward, one hand back.

Like this.

Can I do the flute and you can play the piano?

-Yes. -OK.

I think Granny at the back.

Yeah, yeah. Love it, Granny. That's great.

We're all in. Three, two, one.

-Again... It's again... -Playing the piano. Is it a band?

Piano? Flute? It's got to be a band.

Let's look for music. Look for music.

You've got minutes left. Really look.

-Yes, I've got it! -There's a piano!

-Piano. -You're locking that in.

This is your last chance to earn some money.

You are correct.

-Five out of six! -Brilliant.

Players, there is still a Shield to find,

and you won't have long.

Have a look.

I'm not going to lie,

paranoia is always there, man. I needed that Shield.

Where would you wear a Shield?

Round your neck.

At this stage of the game,

a Shield is not my top priority

because it's early days and it's not the top of my list.

-I think I've found it. -Have you?

So I'm looking on the backs of each painting, and boom!

I pick one up that's got something in it, and looked at the painting

and there it was, round the lady's neck.

-Whey-hey! -Adam's got a Shield.

I'm shielded from the Traitors!

I can sleep easy tonight.

Everyone's sa...

Ooh, I just broke it.

Castle team, it's Claud.

The gallery team correctly identified five paintings,

so you've added £5,000 to the prize fund.

So very well done.

I should also say huge congratulations to Adam,

who has a Shield.

-Ohh! -Aww, yeah!

That's good.

So today was fun.

We all know by now, tonight is not going to be fun.

I will see you at the Round Table.

Off you go.

Well done, guys. I'm really glad you got the Shield.

Oh! Great. Great, great, great.

That was good, guys! -Yeah.

Fantastic.

I think the team back at the castle were superb.

Yes.

I'm so glad that I can literally sleep tonight.

Reece is going on and on about that flipping Shield.

Like, the lady doth protest too much. Like, I do actually think

he might be one of the however many Traitors there are.

Rachel, you were on the train with me and Hugo,

who was full of the joys of spring.

Likewise, you, Rachel.

You've become very quiet

and Hugo has certainly become quiet until this morning.

After breakfast, he said that he has been building the evidence

in his head... -We all have.

And he's going to bring it

to the table tonight.

Barristers don't collect evidence. That's the police's job.

-Yeah. -This... All he has is a brief.

I think the Secret Traitor is female

and Fiona's a really, really smart lady.

She's been vocal about Hugo.

I don't think she's naive.

-Is Ross being set up? -I don't think Ross is a Traitor.

-Do you think Ross is a Traitor? -50-50, man.

-Yeah, I am. I am 50-50, yeah. -Ross.

There's just so many question marks

around him. I want to say he's a Faithful,

but there is that slim chance in the back of my brain

that I think he may be playing a really good game.

-This smells lovely. -Did you like the photos?

Yeah. -Yeah?

Some of them were wicked, yeah.

They were superb. -Did you like them?

Well done.

I thought you were snogging her.

-But, no, you was cuddling, weren't you? -No, I was snogging Harriet.

Oh, was you? -Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. -Full-on, full-on French kissing.

Don't get jealous now.

That was actually just, like, being able to switch off and have a laugh.

Like, we were proper crying laughing.

Yeah.

-It's fun, though, isn't it? -It was good craic, yeah.

You've just got to jump into it.

Yeah, it was. -Yeah.

So inevitably we'll have to think about this evening, then,

-I suppose. -We do.

-What are the loose ends? -The way I kind of see it,

I feel like, maybe I'm totally wrong in saying this,

-but you're more Faithful if you're offering out opinions.

-Yeah.

I think if you're someone who's sitting back

and waiting to see what everyone else says, I think that...

Yeah,

that's what I was doing yesterday

and that's why I said I'm putting myself in trouble.

Last night at the Round Table,

I was pretty vocal,

but if you play your cards close to your chest,

you're not sharing what you're thinking

and that's not being a good Faithful. So,

at the moment, I'm pretty confident

people believe that I am a Faithful.

I feel like we're going to flip and flop all the time. Like, Ross,

I don't know.

The more I think about it, I'm just so...

Yeah. And breakfast this morning. I mean,

every day there's something he's got to answer.

The murder we did last night

of Ben

points towards Ross.

Ross is under a lot of pressure.

The fact of the noise is good.

The fact of the confusion is good and the fact

that there are loose threads, which the Faithful are pulling on,

is very helpful.

Rachel. Rachel.

I don't want to go to the Round Table today

and just not say anything and sort of follow,

but someone I'm suspicious of is Sam, cuz he's so smart.

Like, he's such a good leader of people.

I feel if I go at him on my own,

it'll just get spun and then I'll just get done.

I feel as if Sam

has been extremely confident in the way

he's attacked the game.

He's very cool, calm and collected.

I have a sneaking suspicion that he could be a Traitor.

He's sort of portraying himself to be a Faithful.

I'll just have to think about it.

Yeah, but I'm...

I'm along the same way of thinking.

I'll see you in a bit.

So we are putting on some boxing gloves tonight with Hugo.

I just feel locked into this now.

You know, the thought of going up against possibly one of

the biggest characters here would make me feel a wee bit...

So I'd say, just mind yourself.

-But this is precisely... -But I admire you.

But this is precisely why I'm going to do it.

There was something about

that whole performance at breakfast that did not ring true to me.

Yeah.

The more I dwell

on the Secret Traitor, the more I'm starting to get nervous.

But before I came into this game,

I've been doing a little bit of FBI training

to help me understand microexpressions

to see how people react under pressure,

and Harriet is a force to be reckoned with.

I need to figure out who this is.

-I'm glad you're here, Hugo. -Right. You want a chat?

Yes. I have to say that I wanted

to speak with Amanda today because I couldn't

understand how she'd gone for Jade last night

based on a red face, a white face, I don't know,

-a green face. -Agreed, yeah.

And she said, "Who was on the train with you?"

Right. -"And has their behavior changed?"

OK.

So from this very boisterous and loud person on the train...

Sure.

I think you've become quiet. And then this morning,

all of a sudden, this loud voice came back,

this barrister's baritone. -OK.

Hmm.

I did feel strongly about Ben.

I thought that was a mean thing for whoever... whoever it was to do.

You weren't on my radar until Amanda mentioned it.

Well, I'd like to talk about Amanda, because I think she's

-going round stirring the pot. -I've put...

Yeah, yeah. -OK.

I haven't heard this,

so I'd like to hear more about this.

I've got the opportunity to put it out there

with very little time to go before Round Table

that Amanda is stirring the pot,

which she certainly is.

So I think we might have some fireworks.

Amanda, yesterday... -Yeah?

In the car...

she was stirring yesterday about you.

Yeah, yeah. -Big time.

Yeah.

And today, for you to have concerns about me,

which are crystallised by Amanda,

so it's kind of... And I would say to you all,

you know, give me the chance for more than one Round Table

and you'll see how effective I can be, or not, but at least that I'm trying.

Whether we employ him

if we get caught shoplifting in Marks.

What are you shoplifting?!

Oh! -Hello, good friends.

Hello, good friend. -Hello.

You look like you've got something to say.

-Yeah, you're on a mission. -Yeah. I just wanted to talk to you,

because you was in the room last night with Ben.

Has that been pinned on Ross by a person who was in that room?

-I think he's being pinned. -Because it's just too easy.

It's so obvious. -Yeah.

Why would Ross be that... daft?

So who else was in that room that overheard that?

So, us two.

-James. -James. Ellie.

Fiona. -Fiona.

Ben. -Ben.

Oh, my God!

This is my first big mistake so far in this game.

I was a bit too excited to murder Ben,

because I knew that it would then kind of

link back to Ross. However,

I hadn't quite thought about it linking back to me,

because I was in the room with Ben when he said,

"Look at Ross if I get murdered."

And Jessie's theory is that there must

have been a Traitor in the library that night who took

that information back to the Turret and murdered Ben, which is

100% correct. I need to be on damage control

now because this could really implicate me moving forward.

Having banished one of their own at last night's Round Table,

the Faithful have to sharpen their detective skills

if they're going to find a Traitor. Will they pull it off?

We're about to find out.

I would be so disappointed if this first major

mistake, murdering Ben,

is what puts me out of this game so early.

But Hugo's name has been floated around,

and so if it does come down to it

and I have to write his name on my slate tonight,

then that's what I've got to do.

The Traitors are playing a fantastic game, but this time round,

the Traitors do not know who they're messing with.

I am putting a very big target on myself, but

it's simply too irresistible

to me as a secret barrister not

to challenge the real barrister. And if this is the hill

I die on, then, you know, bring it on.

Players, welcome back to the Round Table.

Today you were brilliant and added £5,000 to the prize fund.

That means your current total is £23,750.

You must remember, though,

if there are any Traitors left at the end, they take it all.

So let me ask you this, have you been paying attention?

Have you worked out who you can trust?

Players, the floor is yours.

I want to open.

I just want to get what I have to say out there now.

The name that I will be writing down tonight is yours, Hugo.

It has occurred to me, from

the moment that I found out that you were a barrister,

that you would be a prime target for the Traitors to take out.

You have experience at cross-examination.

You're good at presenting your case and you're highly articulate.

So, I had in my mind,

as I came into breakfast this morning,

if you had survived,

that really raised big questions in my mind.

A number of people also said that they were

intimidated by your

professional position to take you on.

They are hard facts, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think anyone should be intimidated about taking anyone on.

Respectfully, the criticism that I've heard is

why didn't I do more at the Round Table yesterday?

-And I do understand that. -That's a point I didn't even raise,

but that is an additional point to add to the list.

All I can say is that I've come in here,

um, with a sort of kind, um...

a kind heart and wanting to help everyone find the Traitors

and I think I've got the skills to do that.

We all have to say what our occupations are,

but I think if I was going to

sort of throw my weight around, that I would have

done a lot more yesterday.

Well, you certainly threw your weight round at breakfast.

I felt that we'd moved very quickly from losing somebody to,

well, what did he say?

What's the strategy? Who are we looking at next?

I'm not saying

that Ben's passing shouldn't have been marked.

The speech this morning in the breakfast room,

that was the piece of what I felt was overreacting.

I'd like to put a point out whilst... Sorry,

it's because we've mentioned Ben. Ben yesterday said the other person

he was potentially going to name was myself,

and he said that in front of a few people.

Do you mind putting your hand up

if you were one of the people in the room when he said that?

Perfect. And so my rationale is,

frustratingly, that one of you is a Traitor.

The fact is, a Traitor has set me up

and only those few people who knew he had said that in that group

would have known to kill Ben.

And, Stephen, you were in that group.

I just want to say, I actually think the Traitors

handed you a lifeline last night, because that's way too obvious.

If Ben had been saying that,

it would be so stupid if you were a Traitor to then go and kill Ben.

This is why I think I've caught you guys out.

I think you assumed everybody knew.

-Yeah, can I... -I think Roxy wants to have a go.

Yeah, just because I think

we're missing something glaringly obvious.

And I'm so sorry I'm sticking with sort of yesterday,

but, James, you were also

in the room when this conversation took place.

I have had my sort of suspicions,

and I feel like in my mind, just completely personally,

something is not quite stacking up with you, James.

Let's just maybe have a think about that.

I kind of get it. I think, you know I'm quite scatty.

I kind of wear my heart on my sleeve.

If I was betting who was a Traitor within us,

-it'd be yourself and Reece. -So now my name's in the mix

after about ten other people as well, as I've come to you.

-It's just all very interesting to me. -I'm just being honest.

Yeah, yeah. It's fine. I'm not doing the classic she said, I said at all.

Why do you think me?

I played badminton with you this morning,

and I asked you plainly why you were

running around yesterday with the whole gold medal being Matt.

-Because I'm trying to find Traitors. -I'm speaking.

I can see that.

For me, I was concerned as to why you were

so adamant it was Matt and then didn't vote Matt.

And you said that it was

very much a ranking system you had and you're still confident

it's Matt. So my point was, why not just vote Matt?

And I asked you if there's anything else,

and you gave me quite literally, like, five names

and not a single one was Roxy or mine.

-I might get to speak in a minute. -Go on. I'm letting you speak.

So you're speaking to me, aren't you? This is the thing. Go on.

Can I go? Cool. So, as a Faithful,

it's probably a kamikaze game I'm playing,

but it was the overacting of the, "I'm trying to look for a Shield.

-"I'm trying to look for Shield." -You did say it a hell of a lot.

Yeah, yeah, because we wanted a Shield.

"I wanted a Shield. I wanted a Shield. Where's the Shield? Shield?

"Shield? Shield?" I understand...

We all wanted Shields, that's why we were there. I am naturally

really assertive, and I know this, I'm very aware.

So, as a part-time thing, I am a professional boxing coach.

So having that kind of, like, assertiveness to be encouraging

perhaps during missions,

I feel like it's like, not personal for me,

but, like, I'm always trying to be encouraging to everybody.

Cool. Do you think I'm a Traitor? -No, genuinely.

Thank you. Right.

-Thank God for that, then. -I just think you're a bad Faithful.

Sorry. I'm going back to you.

The whole Ben thing. I'm not falling into the trap of,

"It's too obvious."

It's been dismissed because, again, it's so obvious.

I can't... -And that's my rationale.

I do know it looks bad.

His literal dying words were, "I should have voted for Ross."

Like, that... that does look bad.

Can I say something, please? I had concerns about you, Amanda,

and I came in and you gave me a piece of advice.

You said, "Who was on the train with you?"

Yeah. -You did.

So, can I just clarify?

-Can I just clarify? What I said... -Can she finish? Come on.

-No, no, no... -I just want to say...

Amanda, you're not chairing this meeting.

-Come on. Please let her speak. -I just need to say this.

When I was on the train, Hugo,

the person that I met was Rumpole of the Old Bailey,

full of humor and very gregarious,

and I haven't seen that since. I'm sorry, Hugo,

you're a Welshman,

and I don't want to send a Welshman to the gallows,

I really don't,

but you haven't brought anything to the table so far.

The only person I've seen pulling strings

and using advocacy is Amanda.

The way that Amanda spoke yesterday to Jade,

and you've been in Fiona's ear today, I think.

-No, no, no. I've not been in Fiona's ear. -No, not in my ear.

Fiona came to me. -Yes.

And said, "Can you help me?

"I need some advice." It's just advice.

-That's advice for everybody. -Can we leave it like this?

My final point is, the only person we've seen actually pulling

the strings and stirring it is Amanda.

I'm not pulling any strings. I'm a Faithful.

You're using your... I don't know, your skill set to deflect, I think.

You're the only one who's prosecuted people.

Players, the time for talk is over.

Please write down the name of the person you believe is a Traitor.

Are all the votes locked in?

Yes. -Yes.

Thank you.

Faraaz, we're going to start with you.

Who do you believe is a Traitor and why?

So I believe Sam is a Traitor. It's just a feeling I can't shake

and I really didn't want to make the same mistake I made yesterday.

Roxy.

I don't think this is too much of a surprise.

I've stuck with my gut.

I've gone with James.

-Please don't take it personally. -I don't. Thanks for the kiss as well.

You're welcome.

Stephen.

I wanted to watch every single person

and see who I really felt was being genuinely themselves...

and who was trying to put on a front.

And...

I'm really sorry, Hugo...

but I've written your name down.

Stephen's turned on me. He's voted against me.

What on God's green earth has just occurred?

-Ellie. -Hugo, I've gone for you.

I thought the speech at breakfast just struck me as odd.

-Sure. -Jack.

My vote was for yourself, Reece.

Just basically just about your vote for Adam.

I'm still a little bit confused by it.

It's nothing personal, though, man.

-I do think you're awesome, so... -Of course.

Amanda.

I don't think it will come as any surprise.

Jade. I'm not the type of person to change my mind.

-James. -I've gone Reece.

I feel like you're very good

at turning the screw on people that you know are Faithful, so...

I'm afraid it's you, man, but you are a nice young man.

So a vote count.

Two for Hugo,

two for Reece,

one for Sam,

one for James

and one for Jade.

-Sam. -Um, I'm really sorry.

Tonight I've gone for yourself, Hugo.

Hugo.

Amanda, you are pulling a blinder.

You attacked Jade for no reason.

You are very, very good at this game.

Better than me.

Matthew.

Hugo, I'm sorry.

Um, given your speech this morning...

Sorry.

Jessie.

Amanda, this is really hard

cuz I don't know if this is right.

So, a vote count.

Four for Hugo,

two for Reece,

two for Amanda,

one for Sam,

one for James

and one for Jade.

Reece, who do you believe is a Traitor?

I went with you, Hugo.

The speech at breakfast was odd to me.

I apologize.

Harriet.

Hugo.

I've given my reasons already.

Rachel.

I've gone for Ross.

Because I'm still leaning into the obvious.

Um, yeah.

Ross.

I've gone for Hugo.

Jade.

Amanda, I think you're trying to paint a picture of me,

and that makes me incredibly suspicious.

Maz.

Hugo.

I'm really sorry.

Fiona.

I'm sorry, Hugo. I want you to be a Traitor,

but I'm gutted you're a Welsh boy.

And for the final vote, Adam.

Hugo.

I'm sorry, mate.

And I'm hoping that you are a Traitor.

Hugo, you have received the most votes.

Please come up here and join me.

Hugo, you have received the most votes.

You are banished from the castle.

Will you now please reveal -

are you a Faithful or are you a Traitor?

Guys, you're sending home someone

who has the forensic skills to find the Traitors.

You're all super-smart, lovely people,

and I'll never have an experience like this again in my life,

so thank you all so much.

I...

am...

a...

Traitor!

Yes! Yes!

Oh, my God!

Well done. You all right? Just enjoy it.

-Honestly, enjoy this moment. -Oh, my God!

That is mad.

No way!

That performance this morning.

Faithful...

you got one.

An early win.

I want you to enjoy this.

But you don't relax too much,

because the Traitors will get their revenge.

Goodnight.

-Well done, guys. -Well done.

Crazy, that.

-Mate, that is off it, that. -He couldn't help himself.

He couldn't help himself.

-Oh, my God! -Yeah. Wow, wow, wow.

-You see who didn't vote for Hugo? -Yeah.

-Look who didn't vote for Hugo. -Yes.

Absolute legend. I didn't think he was.

Harriet, no way.

I'm so proud of you.

This is crazy.

I hadn't expected to be throwing

a fellow Traitor's name around this early on in the game.

However, Harriet jumping in the way she did,

with such an eloquent monologue,

it meant that I could only take one path.

I've never been to a football match before,

but I can imagine that electricity is what it's like,

so I might go after I'm out of here, maybe.

-Yeah. -He thought that he was scot-free.

Oh, my God, it makes you question.

I think he had the damn plate, didn't he?

-Oh, my God. -We got one! We got one!

Oh, my God!

This is crazy.

I'm so sorry, Hugo,

but I am delighted that he's gone.

My plan always was befriend and support a Traitor

and just get rid of the other one that doesn't serve me.

And I actually didn't need to do anything at all.

He did it himself.

Other Traitors must have voted for him, though.

They must have done. -Yeah.

They must have done.

Harriet deserves a drink, doesn't she?

I don't drink.

I am absolutely delighted. I mean...

And I think the fact that the secret barrister

outed the real barrister is kind of hilarious.

I think it has shored up my position as a Faithful.

What was Harriet like? She was just phenomenal.

Phenomenal. I don't know what barrister wronged her

in the past,

but I'll tell you now, we probably owe them a drink.

Oh!

Oh, my God. What was that like?

What did Hugo say right before he left?

Hugo said, "Amanda's played a blinder."

-"Better than me." -"Better than me."

If that's Traitor-against-Traitor

and she's thrown him under the bus because she sensed

everyone else...

Makes her look good, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah.

Bang.

Yeah, but did she vote Hugo? She didn't. She voted Jade.

-She's not voted for him. -I don't see what you're saying.

"Amanda's played a blinder. She's pulling the strings."

He said that before the vote as well, didn't he?

Yeah. -Yeah.

Hugo just throwing that curveball.

What I know about this game is, like, everything changes like that.

It's unpredictable, so, if you can be,

it's everything to be a step ahead of the Traitors.

I tell you what, right?

I am gobsmacked at how much shit Hugo put around about me.

Can I just say, I am a little bit worried for you.

Oh?

I think you might come under a bit of pressure tomorrow.

Yeah.

I mean, what you got to remember, right, is,

everything that guy said is a lie.

-Yeah. -He went for me because I went for Jade.

Hugo's parting words -

"Amanda's playing a brilliant game. Much, much better than me."

He's sown a seed which I've got to quash.

I'm finding this so hard.

-This is so hard. -My mind is boggled.

It's so hard.

Like, I'm not speaking at the Round Table,

partly because I find it quite intimidating,

but also because I actually don't feel very certain.

I don't have anything to throw out there with,

-like, real conviction at the moment. -Mm.

I'm learning things about my personality.

I think being more reserved,

you can benefit from it at the beginning,

but I think, as the game goes on, you know,

people will turn to you eventually.

They will question whether you're just sitting

and watching as a kind of Secret Traitor.

And so I have to be careful.

What do you think about Stephen?

No, I know. You can't do it too early.

The Faithful have banished their first Traitor - Hugo.

And while the Traitors' numbers are depleted,

they still don't know the identity of the Secret Traitor.

And that's not all.

Rachel and Stephen are about to be given

a secret mission of their own.

Oh, God, what have I done?

Oh...

I just kind of wanted to celebrate tonight.

Oh, my God, my heart is coming out of my chest.

"Dear Traitors, tonight there is no murder.

"Instead, you have a chance to take back control

"from the Secret Traitor."

"To do this, you and your fellow Traitors

"must shortlist nine players for murder before the night is over."

"Residing in the castle is a family tree.

"You must use this to make your shortlist."

Oh, God.

"Nearby is an inkpot filled with blood-red ink.

"You must dip a finger in the ink

"and leave a fingerprint on each of the nine players

"that you wish to shortlist."

"One of these players will be murdered tomorrow.

"If successful, the Secret Traitor will join you tonight

"and you will be united as equals."

Oh, my God, this game.

It's like, I really, really want to meet the Secret Traitor.

But at...

at what cost?

I need to talk to Stephen. I need to see Stephen.

I need to kind of pull him aside

and see where his head's at.

Rachel.

I think I might use his language skills,

because he's one of the guys who's been actually translating

the Latin around the family tree.

So that would be our excuse for standing around it

and having a conversation.

And if we can get people away from it,

I think we can do it.

We got a Traitor. But I'm still getting this family connection.

Oh, I just don't... -I know!

What, because of the tree thing?

No, I'm adamant. You, do you know Latin?

-You know a bit of Latin. -Yeah.

-I don't know any Latin. -Help me.

I don't get the second part of that line.

-I've not looked much at the tree. -Yeah.

Where is the tree?

I don't think we can do this.

I don't want to be on my own.

This is not the castle to be on your own in.

Right.

Let's go and have a look and see what we think.

Right? And maybe, like, get a general consensus.

I just don't know.

Is regaining control really worth

this massive risk of being caught?

So I have no idea what any of this says.

See, the only bit that I realize is "trust your own blood".

Is that a connection here?

-There's a big connection here.

-Like, that's very, very dangerous. -Yeah.

Speaking of dangerous...

I've honestly...

I need to give you a heads-up on... something.

I can go if you want me to go. I don't mind going.

Will you... will you give me...? I want to just...

Of course, of course. -Sorry.

No, don't be daft. Don't be daft.

I know it's there. I don't know if I could do this.

No?

My glass is red, so I could hide the paint here and do it.

We can only put one of our names down as well.

-Yeah. -And so...

It's fine. So let me say this.

Once it is... made clear

that the selection happened on this painting,

he is going to know that we were involved.

I'm squeaky bum.

I was, and then I thought,

"I want control back."

I know, I know.

I will not write your name down.

I will not write your name down.

I will not write your name down. -OK.

OK. -OK.

I don't think I've ever been under this much pressure.

One slip-up now

and it's not just me that's out,

but Rachel's also gone as well.

-Case in point this morning. -Yeah.

Can we just take them all out?

He's a monster!

Monster is mad, by the way. Monster is mad.

I was like, "Jesus Christ! It's a game, bro." Yeah.

Poor lad.

This is crazy.

Everyone is buzzing around the castle,

walking around from room to room,

and this painting is just right

bang in the middle.

We done good, guys. We done really good.

-Really good. -That was crazy.

I'm in such a blind panic over this shortlist.

So many people around the painting.

Have you figured it out?

Have we heck!

How many times can I pretend to tie my shoelace, drink a glass of water?

Right, I'll see you in a wee minute.

This makes me more nervous than the Round Table.

Like, if we get caught, we're absolutely buggered.

I think I just need to put on my big girl pants and just get it done.

Where is everybody?

It's going to have to be quick.

It could be quick and messy but, you know, with nine,

you've a good chance of getting somebody that you want to murder,

so we just have to do it.

My heart is just pounding.

I'm praying and praying that no-one walks through this castle right now.

Hopefully I'll see yous later.

I hope I'm here, but I don't have high hopes.

Ellie, oh, thanks for today.

The castle clock chimes have rung out,

and what a day it's been.

Remaining Traitors Stephen and Rachel

managed to choose their murder shortlist in plain sight.

That means they have regained their power back

and are about to meet the Secret Traitor for the very first time.

Oh, my goodness!

What a night.

I actually don't know where to start.

Hugo.

Are you happy?

I am happy.

-Well, he dug his own grave. -He dug his own grave today.

I'm so chuffed that the two of us are here.

I know.

I think we can do it.

As do I.

We can take the Celtic connection right to the end.

I know!

I put the red dots in that painting so quickly.

Mm-hm.

-I did put you down. -Yeah.

It was all so rushed.

-But, even though I did it really quick... -Yeah.

I think it's good that there's people there that...

It'll add fuel to the fire.

But we did it.

It's done.

We get to find out who the Secret Traitor is.

I don't think the shortlists have given me any clues.

No, they've confused me.

They've confused me more than anything else.

-Whoever walks through that door... -Mm-hm.

We don't need them.

Who on earth is this Secret Traitor?

If it's someone that I don't trust,

that could have a ripple effect on my entire strategy.

Can we trust them, or are they going to blow our game wide open?

Breathe.

My mind is just all over the place.

We are desperate to get our power back.

This is it.

Come in.
