Three Traitors were selected

and one Secret Traitor was also chosen.

You are the Secret Traitor.

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.

But after one banishment...

I am a Faithful.

Course she is.

And two ruthless murders,

suspicion in the castle began to soar.

It's Ben!

Whoever has done that is beyond mean.

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

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

There must have been a Traitor that heard that. In that room.

I'm looking at Stephen.

A fierce Round Table...

A Traitor has set me up and, Stephen, you were in that group.

It was the overacting of the,

"Oh, I'm trying to look for a shield."

You did say it a hell of a lot.

I'm sorry, Hugo.

You haven't brought anything to the table.

Resulted in the Faithful catching their first Traitor.

I am a...

Traitor!

The two remaining Traitors were set a treacherous task...

"You must shortlist nine players for murder.

"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."

summoning the Secret Traitor to finally be revealed.

Come in.

This is The Traitors.

Oh, my God.

Come in.

Fiona!

My heart.

Well... Oh, I didn't...

You minx! I am.

You are now officially the Secret Traitor.

I will do my best to be as treacherous as possible.

This is just wonderful.

I'm drunk on power.

Why Netty? Oh, she was lovely, a teacher.

I trusted her.

I do have the feeling Rachel is a Faithful.

Do you know what, Hugo? I think you're probably

one of the last people that I've not actually spoken to.

We haven't had a good chat, have we?

Hugo has certainly become quiet until this morning.

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

You got one.

I am loving my role as the Secret Traitor.

It's so much fun.

Oh, my goodness.

I was wonderful, wasn't I?

You were very good.

Hollywood is beckoning. I can feel it.

I can't believe Fiona's the Secret Traitor.

She is playing

a very, very good game.

Look at you voting out Hugo. Do you know what?

He messed up big time, so I had to go gung ho on him. OK.

It had to be done.

I basically have done your job for you for the last few nights.

Fiona coming in makes me nervous,

because I think Fiona's going to ruffle some feathers.

Are you happy to be in the turret?

Oh, I love it.

I'm so thrilled

to actually meet my fellow Traitors.

And if the devil could have cast his net,

he wouldn't have had a better three.

Welcome to your new home. Ohh. Oh, thank you.

So we got given our secret mission - a shortlist for murder -

and I put Stephen down and a mix of people

that are Faithfuls and a mixture of people that have heat.

That's a real good ploy.

We need to now stick together...

Yes... as much as possible for as long as possible.

Oh, the Celts together!

I know.

Don't let it go to your head. A cwtch and a kill.

Fiona!

Oh, you're something else.

Oh, dear me.

Shall we go, then?

Forget my individual power.

Let's share it between us.

It just requires trust. However,

this is a game of manipulation

and Traitors are Traitors.

So, with no murder committed,

everybody will be showing up to breakfast.

But unbeknownst to the Faithful,

some of them will have made the Traitors' murder shortlist.

Oh, bloody hell.

Empty. Yeah. OK.

I am slightly nervous,

but excited to see

how they're going to react. I hope it throws

a lot of chaos into the breakfast room this morning.

How are you guys feeling about us getting a win yesterday?

Honestly, there's no feeling like it.

My heart was actually jumping out of my chest, you know?

You're like, "You're not supposed to be this excited."

I thought we'd made a massive mistake,

because he was in character... Yeah... right up until the very end.

He is a panto dame, for sure.

Oh. Come in. Come in.

Hey! Oh, my God!

It's a strange feeling,

going into breakfast no longer a Secret Traitor.

How are you both? Fiona!

It's lovely to see you. Oh, my goodness.

I'm very good, according to my son and my husband, Gwyn,

at flowering stories up.

I quite like white lies and I do want to win,

so I think I'm going to do really well here.

Hugo was not on my radar. He was just nowhere near.

Yeah, he weren't on my radar either.

And then when you gave such... that eloquent speech,

it was like, "Hang on now..."

I set the goal up.

You put it in.

So, I can't tell

if Fiona is putting on an act or if she is just being Fiona.

Either way, it is working for her.

She just has people

eating out of the palm of her hand.

Like, I cannot believe it's her. I can't... I'm still in shock.

Mm! Oh, oh!

Come in.

Yes!

Hello. Good morning.

Look at that. I don't think anyone's a Traitor in here.

Not going to lie, I'm pretty sure it's Reece

and I've got conclusive evidence

that everyone at the Round Table was witness to.

You'll probably remember it, but I'll bring it up at the Round Table.

Brilliant. Well, then, focus. Get it together.

So is that the only three left?

It's Reece, Amanda and Matt.

We can't lose Amanda.

She's fierce.

And if they all walk in, there's been a recruitment.

Come in. Come in!

Who isn't here? Who's gone?

Are we the last? Are we the last? Who's not here? Are we?

That means there's been a recruitment.

You're all here. We're all here.

We're all here. They've recruited.

Oh, my God.

I'm just really confused.

There's been no murder, um...

so is it recruitment?

So that means there's now a new Traitor.

Oh. Oh, dear. Here we are. Oh, hello.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You are all here, present and correct.

So what does that mean?

Were the Traitors merciful?

I'm afraid they weren't.

While they did not commit a murder,

they did put nine of you on trial for murder.

Nine? Just so you know,

they did this yesterday in plain sight.

They could have chosen either Faithful or Traitors.

The following nine people are up for murder.

They are...

Amanda,

Faraaz,

Jack,

Jade,

James,

Maz...

Reece,

Sam...

and Stephen.

So, to you nine,

really, really enjoy your breakfast,

because, for one of you, it will be your last.

This is normally when I say it's time for a mission,

but today is going to be a little bit different.

Before the mission,

you will have a Round Table.

So enjoy your pastries and focus,

because a banishment is imminent.

What? What?

"You've been shortlisted for murder."

How the hell have they done that?

It's disappointing, but I'm not going to give up.

I feel grim.

Just because we do know that Hugo was a Traitor yesterday,

do you all remember interacting with him,

you know, like in some...? He didn't speak to me.

Did anyone who's been murdered hug him?

Well, I hugged him.

I don't think it will have been that anyway.

So can we just say, of those nine,

Traitors could easily put themselves in there

to seem not suspicious, right? There must be one in that nine.

I would say at least one.

If it was all nine up for murder

and they didn't want to be in any danger,

they'd remove themselves,

but they'd have to put themselves in the mix.

I don't know why I said to include me in the line-up.

It's such a bad idea, because

the Faithfuls will always just assume

that there's a Traitor in that mix.

I had a lapse of judgment in the moment,

and I am nervous about how this is going to play out for me.

Man, I've been up for murder literally every day.

Every day. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Come down here... or who I'm rubbing up the wrong way.

Guys, have you seen this?

It's on the family tree.

What?!

It's on the family tree.

Oh, my God!

So it looks like a red... Like a fingerprint or paintbrush.

Oh, well spotted!

Surely somebody must have noticed that at some point during the day.

Someone's walking past here and got to be doing this, like, surely.

I mean, it takes time, doesn't it?

It does take time.

If we think about a time point when this could have happened,

let's say post Round Table... Yeah. Right?

Sorry to say this, because I don't have much of an inkling on you,

Maz, right... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

But there was a moment last night,

and yourself and Roxy were in here having a look at the painting.

Yeah.

Have you figured it out? Have we heck.

And then five minutes later, the chimes started going off.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what I'm asking you is

you didn't notice any of this when you were here with Roxy?

Because I left you two... Oh, no. Listen, I'm a big mouth.

That's a good point. I know, I know.

I think we've got to find the person who thinks they looked at this

the latest in the day to see if any of this was on there. Yeah.

But, mate, that was five minutes before the bells chimed. Yeah.

Oh, and it wasn't on there then?

It was definitely not on there.

This morning,

we're going to have a Round Table.

I was not expecting this

and I'm anxious for myself and Rachel.

I'm going to have to pin it

on Maz.

This early Round Table

is the worst thing that could have happened to me.

I had a very troublesome time yesterday with heat on me,

because of Ben dying and basically going,

"Last words..."

Ben said he thought I might be a Traitor

and then poor Ben was murdered.

But only five people knew that information.

Who was the group again? Stephen...

Jessie...

James was in there.

Fiona, I think, was mentioned.

And Ellie.

So you think one of those people... No, no, no, no, not I think.

It's a fact.

Someone in that five is a Traitor trying to set me up.

James was in that room, I'm just saying.

James has got such a big mouth, he usually goes spouting everything.

How has it stayed inside with James?

Nobody would assume it's James because it's just James.

I've heard that phrase

so many times already,

but I think he's just playing into that.

You know when you just get an inkling about someone?

I've just got that inkling.

If you're still going with Ross again today,

I'm backing it up.

I can't do another Hugo number. I haven't got enough there.

You think it's Ross? You...

It's only because we dismiss the obvious so quickly

and I think that's very dangerous.

Yeah, I agree, I agree.

I'm concerned about the early banishment.

I'm petrified that, because we have to make impulsive, quick decisions,

we're going to be shooting blanks,

and that's going to hit something wrong.

Three people that I think...

are Jade,

Sam and Stephen.

Mm. Do not mention this to anyone.

No, no, no. Do not mention it at the Round Table.

If it's reassuring, I also think Stephen... Yeah.

Because he sits opposite me at the Round Table

and he looks so... Guilty.

He doesn't... He's just not confident.

He's the biggest voice around the castle,

but as soon as you get to that Round Table, he doesn't say much.

He's like an orchestra, isn't he? Yeah.

But that stays here. Yeah.

I'm suspicious of Stephen.

I think he's just so cool, so calm, so under the radar

no-one would expect him.

But I don't have enough evidence yet.

If Stephen's not a Traitor...

At last night's Round Table,

the Faithful managed to catch a Traitor,

and Hugo was banished.

They've only just finished their breakfast

and it's time for another one.

So, will the Faithful do it again?

Will their luck continue?

I'm implicated by the Library Five.

I could have been implicated by this murder shortlist.

I feel like I could be in a really dangerous spot.

It's the first Round Table since

I had to take my secret cape off,

and I hope the other Traitors will be on my side.

I'm anxious. I'm worried it will be

my head on the chopping block

on this unnecessarily early Round Table.

Players, welcome to the Round Table.

As you can see from the timing,

there is nothing predictable in this castle.

Faithful, you have a real opportunity now.

You can catch a Traitor.

You caught one yesterday.

So the question is, can lightning strike twice?

The floor is yours.

Could I start, please?

Basically, I just wanted to say

that I'll be probably voting for you again today, Sam.

What sort of solidified that feeling for me

was the way you approached the Round Table yesterday.

I think it was such a stark difference,

because when Hugo came under fire straight away,

I feel as if that maybe took you by surprise

and you took a step back

and didn't want to go after a fellow Traitor.

You just sort of jumped on the bandwagon.

I did go into last night less certain,

and that's why I was less vocal.

I came into the first Round Table

being very convinced that Judy was a Traitor,

so that really did throw me. So going into second one,

I wanted to take a more listening approach this time

because I got it so wrong the first time.

I don't think I've displayed any traitorous behavior so far.

I might be some gut feelings and stuff like that,

but I've questioned people

and I've tried to work together as a team to find people.

Can I, just whilst we're chatting about you?

You and Judy had a disagreement and she was a Faithful.

So that just really raises, like, a little alarm bell for me.

At that time, she really had her back up. Yeah.

I think someone had told her that I'd maybe spoken about her name.

So she was angry in that moment, it's an emotional deflection.

We don't have that many facts.

That's the only red flag I have at the moment. Yeah.

There is just one point as well that I wanted to make.

These murders in plain sight, right? They are designed to give us clues.

OK? Because you're asking a Traitor to do something

whilst everyone is running wild around the castle.

OK? Mm-hm. Yeah.

So who was the last person I saw at that painting? Yeah.

And I've spoken to you before, Maz, through this process. Yeah.

And so I was thinking to myself last night, you know...

Oh, sorry, this morning, after we found out how,

you know, the thing was done,

that you were the last person I saw there.

I was walking from the kitchen to the bar,

saw Roxy and Maz at the painting.

Then I went to the bar, sat down next to Fiona,

and then five minutes later the bells started chiming.

You three saw it? Yeah.

And when he left, there was no dots? Yeah. Yeah.

Absolutely no dots. Me and Maz saw zero red dots.

We left and that was it.

Did you leave together from that painting?

Yeah, I think we went to the kitchen.

Jade,

I've had suspicions about yourself.

When you were questioned by Amanda, um...

you didn't really answer. You got defensive.

And my gut instinct is that you are a Traitor.

Sorry, I need to add.

I've had my suspicions from the beginning.

And last night, it was almost like Hugo put me in the spotlight...

and I think it was to basically protect you.

Now, I think Amanda's a Faithful, I do.

Thank you, I am. And the only thing that I can grasp straws from

is that Hugo would want to protect another Traitor.

Hugo's a smart man. He did things very deliberately.

He did things on purpose. Yeah.

The comment that he made at you,

that you were playing a blinding game...

As a Faithful. OK, but I need to look at it from both ways. OK.

So I think he found you threatening.

So he either found you threatening as a Faithful,

or he either found you threatening as a Traitor.

Can I...? Can I ju...? Oh, um...

The reason why I wanted to jump in now was in self-preservation.

I do feel like I'm being set up.

One of these five that heard Ben say that he thought I was suspicious...

But hold on, who were the five? Jessie, James...

Myself. Me. My issue is that he's dead

and only those five people had a motive to kill him -

to incriminate me.

In that room, Ben...

said...

On my last tank of air!

That, "If I get murdered, then it's Ross."

That is just too much of a coincidence.

I was there, Ben said your name.

The only thing I don't know was whether that information

was secure to the five people in the room.

I don't know that.

Yes, there was a conversation in the library.

However, any person here could have thought,

"Oh, well, Ben went for Ross."

It's not like that was the only time

he had ever mentioned your name.

James. Hello.

Because you heard that information and we've heard a lot from you,

how comes you didn't tell anybody that vital information?

Obviously, you directed it to me mainly. That's fine. Yes, yes.

Personally, you know - I'm not saying you are -

I'm not ruling out the fact that you might be a Traitor.

And I learned my lesson to stop going bang, bang.

James, just answer Ross's question. Why...? You say so, so much -

which I don't think is a bad thing at all -

but how were you able to hold on that piece of information

and not tell a single person around this table?

To be honest, cuz I feel like I'm being played by someone,

it feels like I'm being confused on purpose. OK.

Cuz I'm like, "I can't keep answering everything."

Yeah, I know. "There's other people here."

All right. Cool. Thank you for answering my question.

That's my genuine answer. And you can please suspect me all you want

cuz I've got nothing to hide.

I did have something else to say.

Yesterday at this Round Table,

Reece, you grilled me, which you're entitled to do.

It's fine, but I'm like, "Do you think I'm a Traitor?"

You answered, famously, "No."

Boom! If you're a Faithful,

why on earth would you grill someone you think's a Faithful?

Makes no sense to me. There's two reasons.

Either you're trying to frame me cuz you can see I'm on the ropes.

Or the most obvious option - you're a Traitor.

I still stand by it. I don't think you're a Traitor.

Thank you. I'm not. If me interrogating you yesterday

has put that kind of doubt in your head, I apologize.

One of the sort of question marks I had

is that you're coming across very confident at the table.

That was all I was going to put to you. Of course, yeah, fair.

Confident talker, yes. I'm absolutely...

I will always stand by that point. I can't really hide it.

You're a confident man. Mm-hm.

Are you a confident person

in this role because you're a Traitor? Mm-hm.

I don't know.

There was a thing about the way that Ross and Netty met.

When you were explaining that it really was just a coincidence

that you and Netty had been brought into the game together,

you used the phrase, "The plan was not to recognize her in advance."

And I noticed this specifically because if there is...

If it's purely a coincidence, then how can there be a plan.

Sorry, sorry, that's incorrect words.

And I've explained that several times, actually. OK.

Thank you for surprising me here with it. Um...

Well, it's our job to do this.

When I noticed Netty,

I had not initially planned to mention anything.

Because I'd come out, hugged Hugo was mid hug or about to hug Roxy,

that's when I noticed Netty.

I hadn't planned to acknowledge Netty at all.

She swung her arms out, and then I had to ten toes it.

The only thing that unsettles me about

the whole you and Netty thing is obviously of course

there is a very whatever chance that you didn't know you were both...

But it's just more the odds that's unsettling me.

See, that's another narrative that I struggle with.

And honestly makes me really suspicious.

It's suspicious that people want to push it.

Can I ask you a question? Please.

Was Hugo this dramatic in the turret?

Was Hugo this...?

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Was Hugo dramatic in the turret?

I didn't... In what turret?

You've just said, "What turret?"

When I jokingly threw that out. "What turret?"

Like, we all know, there's a Traitor's turret here, you know.

So to me... Oh! I didn't know what you were referring to.

Sorry, I genuinely didn't know what you were referring to. Right.

To me, I think it's so obvious.

You're saying it's obvious. What am I doing obvious?

So, Netty being murdered,

it was so obvious it pointed to you that it couldn't be true. OK.

And I'm saying but it's so obvious, why are we ignoring the obvious?

Players, the time for talk is over.

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

Stephen, we're going to start with you.

Who do you believe is a Traitor and why?

Maz.

I'm going on the evidence I have - who I saw at the painting last.

I'm sorry.

Ellie.

Reece.

Your explanation today felt suspicious to me.

Jack.

Um, Reece. I've stuck with my guns from yesterday

and not trying to be swayed by other people.

Amanda.

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

It was just the way Hugo defended you. Sure.

James.

Reece.

Yesterday's Round Table kind of just gave me

the light-bulb, Eureka moment I needed.

Sam.

So I'm really sorry, Reece. It's fine.

I genuinely think you're a lovely bloke.

Matthew.

Sam.

We've got very few facts in this game.

You just struck a chord with me, so...

Jessie.

Reece. Just the evidence that was brought up here,

it convinced me just that little bit more.

Reece.

I've gone with Ross. Um, I'm very aware

that sometimes I'm just stabbing in the dark.

So I'm just listening to all the evidence that we've got.

Harriet.

Ross.

I think sometimes the most obvious explanation

IS the explanation.

Rachel. Who do you believe is a Traitor and why?

I've gone for Ross.

Simply because I think within the obvious

is the perfect place to hide.

So a vote count. Five for Reece, three for Ross,

one for Maz, one for Jade and one for Sam.

Ross, who do you believe is a Traitor and why?

I've gone for Stephen because I'm OBVIOUSLY being framed.

OK.

Jade.

Ross, I'm sorry. Your behavior

when you answered Rachel's question rung alarm bells for me.

Maz.

Jade, it's you. You're just too suspicious for me

and that's why I voted for you.

Fiona.

I voted for you, Ross.

It just seems, as Rachel said, perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious.

Adam.

Sorry, Jade. Just due to my theory.

Faraaz.

I think it'll come to no surprise, Sam,

I'm voting for you for reasons previously mentioned.

So, five for Reece and five for Ross.

It all comes down to this last vote.

Roxy, whose name is on your slate?

Ross. Ooh!

And I'm so, so sorry. I think you're a great guy

and I wish we could have got to know each other a bit more.

Ross, you have received the most votes.

Please come up here and join me.

Ross, you have received the most votes

and you are banished from the castle.

Before you leave us, please reveal

are you a Faithful or are you a Traitor?

This has actually been fun. It's been really fun.

It's been lovely to meet you all.

I feel like, you know, I've made some lifetime friends.

And, yeah, I got a real bad hand, I think you'd all agree.

I have always been...

a Faithful. Ooh!

I told you guys! I knew it.

Bang goes that theory, then.

It was too obvious. It was getting pinned on him.

I knew it.

Faithful, your luck has run out.

Yesterday you caught a Traitor,

but you have just banished one of your own.

And things are only going to get worse

because one of the nine of you

who have been put on trial will be murdered.

So, shortly, a mission.

And if this Round Table rattled your cages...

that's nothing.

I'm so sorry, guys. I feel... I'm so sorry, I just...

It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

He Traitors have done their work

because they have framed Ross.

I'm really sad to see him go. Especially because...

Ross is actually my boyfriend.

Ross. Ellie. Live and work in London.

What about yourself? Yeah, I also live in London. Is it?

Oh!

I was worried about you this morning.

Thanks for today. Thank you.

What I've got to do now is avenge his death.

I've got to work a lot harder. I want to catch a Traitor for him.

My gosh.

Ross, mate, you were stitched up!

It's Stephen. It's Stephen.

Are you all right? It was just, like, a split decision

between him and Reece... I know.

And I just put my relationship with Reece first.

It just goes to show how wrong we can get it.

And here they all come to chat a load of bollocks.

Honestly, this is mad. This is mad.

You all right? Yeah, just feel like shit cuz I got it wrong.

Yeah, yeah. I hope you don't hate me.

Not at all, mate. The game's the game, isn't it?

I think we're all going to put each other down.

It's all right. It's all right. Oh, man! Come on.

You're all good, pal. I think it's good

that everyone understands that it is a game.

Yeah, 100%. It is not a personal attack on anyone.

Reece, this is the first time I've seen you so upset,

or in fact, upset at all.

And seeing the strength of your reaction to that,

I'm not remotely suspicious of you right now.

It's an awful feeling,

being that close to being voted out.

Um, I'm not really sure why I've rubbed people up the wrong way

as much as I clearly have so far.

But for it to be down to quite literally

the single last vote

and to be saved by the absolute skin of my teeth was...

horrific.

I'm interested about... your thing about

who was standing next to the family tree.

Yeah, that... And I think that's a strong... That's a strong point.

I'm quite surprised that I'm the only one

that voted for Maz tonight,

cuz I thought I had the golden bullet when I...

And I thought, like, when I said to the table,

"They were the last people I saw at the picture,"

I thought everyone was going to go, "Oh, my God!

"Well, he's cracked it then." You know?

By this point, you know,

I've had suspicion on me at the Round Table.

Ross has been looking at me.

I just feel like I need to reconsider how I play this game.

I was thinking about this

and I think there's probably three Traitors remaining.

I can't see it. At the moment, I can't see it.

I'm not going to get blinkered.

It's just because of... that room with Ben.

That room with Ben has been proven to be a set-up by the Traitors.

It's proven now, so you can surely dispel that.

Stephen... But he hasn't pushed that.

He's not pushed that whole room.

Ellie hasn't pushed it. Why would you not push it?

It's written out there. There must have been one there.

Please. Honestly.

Because if I aren't here another day, please look at that room.

All right.

I've just got to pot this red. Oh, my word.

Oh, this game. Isn't it?

With the prize fund currently standing at £23,750,

the players are making their way to today's mission

in the hope of adding to the pot.

Oh, yeah. Just a team of people up for murder.

The early Round Table has fried my brain.

I'm like, "I don't know where I am." Yeah, and she said something

about rattling cages or cages being rattled.

I think it's a possibility. Sam's in there.

Yeah. Stephen's in there. Yeah. Everyone whose name

has been floating around as a Traitor is in that group,

pretty much. Yeah.

Oh, my God! Oh!

Oh! No, I don't like that.

What the heck?! I'm scared!

Look at all these people. Now that's giving me the freaks.

Oh, my goodness. When we arrived at this mission, there were...

loads of druids

with gold masks and hoods up and drums.

It felt like a cult ceremony.

Welcome, players.

Don't mind my friends.

They don't bite...

if they're fed.

So you might have survived the Round Table.

Not all of you will survive today's mission.

As you know, nine players were put on trial for murder.

When I say your name,

please step forward and enter a cage.

Amanda.

Faraaz.

Jack. Thanks, Stephen.

Jade.

James. Naturally.

Maz.

Reece.

Sam.

And Stephen.

I'm slightly worried about Stephen.

This is probably the closest so far

that we've come to making a big mistake.

The rest of you have an enormous responsibility.

Your individual performances will decide

whether these players live to see another day,

or whether they are in line for murder tonight.

You must now each pair up with somebody

whose life you want to fight for.

There are nine caged players. There are eight of you.

That means that one poor soul

will stay on trial for murder.

Please let me know who is going to choose first.

So, Matthew, you're choosing first.

I'm going to choose Faraaz.

Please go and stand by his cage.

Who wants to choose next?

Harriet.

James, please. Thank you.

Jessie.

Jack.

Thank you, Jessie. Love you!

Amanda.

I'm going to play it safe and choose Amanda.

She is a very smart player, and we have a nice bond so far.

So I'm going to try and keep close to her.

A natural alliance to have in the castle.

It was a strange one

to pick Amanda rather than Stephen.

I don't understand

how Amanda has come into the equation.

Who's choosing next? Yes?

I'd like to pick Stephen.

I'm really glad that

Roxy decided to try and save me.

My biggest fear was that no-one was

going to come to my side.

Yes, Ellie? I pick Jade.

Do you want to go next?

Ladies first. OK.

I'm going to choose Reece.

So, Adam, as you can see, there are two players left.

You have Sam and you have Maz.

You can choose one and you will fight for their life.

The other player will automatically stay on trial

and could be murdered tonight.

You have a big decision to make.

Sam, I think you're genuine.

But going to have to pick Maz. I'm sorry.

Sam, you will remain on trial and could be murdered tonight.

It takes you back to the school days, isn't it?

Picking teams and getting picked last is a horrible feeling.

Gutted about that.

So, let the procession commence.

The druids lifted the cages...

Oh, my God.

And it was like a funeral procession.

It was giving sacrifice.

All of the drums, the druids.

I think, for me, it was the unknown

of what we were heading into.

Where on earth are we going?

I didn't need to pull out

any acting chops for this one.

I WAS terrified that I had made a terrible mistake.

What can you see? Bones. What? Bones?

I am a retired police officer.

Pressure, you know, I've dealt with

for the majority of my life.

What can they possibly throw at me that would even equate

to what I faced in the police?

Players, welcome to the marshlands.

Safe players, this is where you will compete

to save the life of your partner.

Sam, obviously you don't have anyone fighting for you,

but we brought you here to watch.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Hidden in this marshland...

are these.

Skulls.

Your job is to find and stack ten of them.

If you manage to build a stack of ten skulls

on the plinth next to your partner, their cage will automatically open

and they will no longer be on the murder shortlist.

Only the first five that are freed will be safe from murder.

For every player that is freed, I will add £2,000 to the prize fund.

The players who are still locked in their cages

will have to stay here in the woods to find out their fate.

Is everyone clear?

You have 30 minutes.

Three, two, one,

GO!

Oh, my God!

You've got it. Don't fall over!

Oh! Ooh! Oh, my God!

Only the first five people

to complete their tower of skulls would get through.

So I will not hold back.

It's like that feeling of someone else depending on you -

you just want to help them.

Come on, Fiona! Come on, Rach, you've got this!

We're running through the swamp, and I've got flies, like,

trying to invade my personal space.

And now I've got to go and find ten skulls

and balance them on top of each other.

Good lad!

Oh, Matty, you legend!

I fancied my chances here, so I was back within 15, 20 seconds,

my arms full of skulls.

That is a lot of skulls.

Oh, my God! How many have you got? Quick, quick, quick.

One, two...

It was a lot of...

pressure,

because Jack's life was in my hands.

Seven, eight. Two more. Go, go, go! Come on!

How many have we got? Five, I've got. One, two...

You've got four to get, Rachel!

It was a race against each other.

You could feel the tension. Like, the air was very heavy.

Come on, Ellie.

I knew I wasn't going to be the fastest,

but I know I'm good at finding things.

You got this.

Where's Fiona?

Come on, Jessie. Just two more. Come on!

Oh, my God, Jack! No way!

Yeah, Matty. Matt, Matt, Well done, mate, that's sick.

I've not got any.

How many is that? Have you got ten? Have I? Have you got ten?

That's it, that's it. You got it, you got it.

Come on, Adam!

Not seen Fiona once.

Go on, Harriet. You're doing very, very well!

Come on, Roxy!

I feel like I've lost total control.

Right. Look at... Look at Matt. Look at Matt, Roxy.

I don't know how I get out of this.

Put the head the right way round. Put the head the right way round.

There you go, my darling. That's it.

Matthew has done it.

Yes, come on! You legend, mate!

I was just in awe of how quick

he completed it, to be honest.

I'm indebted to you, mate. Oh, mate, I'm actually buzzing.

I'm... Thank you.

Faraaz is safe from murder tonight,

and they have added £2,000 to the pot.

Oh, come here, boyo!

This is stressful.

Really slow. Really slow.

Steady hand. Steady hand.

Oh, shit. There's none down there, is there?

No. Sorry, darling.

Those skulls were so hard to find. I was looking everywhere.

At one point, I think I was, like, tempted to climb a tree.

Where is Fiona?

It was a lovely, simple task.

So I kind of took my time.

This is so lonely.

I was not a gazelle jumping the bog.

This is like death Jenga.

That's it, my darling.

Oh, no! Argh!

Take... Take... Right, yeah.

Right, be really careful. Really slow.

Is this the last one, Jack?

Last one.

Careful, careful, careful. Wait.

She's done it!

Oh, my God, Jack's free!

Oh! Yes!

Oh, my God! Jack!

She was lightning-fast,

and I couldn't have been more proud of her.

It's done! Ellie! This one is done!

Jade is free.

Well done to Ellie.

Oh, my God!

Three players have been freed.

Only two more can now be freed.

I feel really isolated, out of control.

I was just waiting there for the game to end.

Honestly, I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Five. Keep going, Rachel!

Oh, my God, she's still only got one.

Argh!

Fiona hasn't even started stacking. Where is she?

Maz, How many have you got, Maz? Four up to now. I've got zero, bro.

Cages were getting opened quite quickly,

and at this point, still hadn't seen Fiona at all.

You just need one.

Is that nine? Yeah, yeah, you need one. Oh, God!

Rachel, ask one from Fiona. I'm not going to be freed, am I?

Get Fiona's.

Fiona! Reece said give me one of yours

cuz he's not going to be freed.

No! Look, he said it! Fiona, give her one! Thank you.

Thank you! Reece, thank you.

I could be wrong on this, but it just seemed so odd to me

that Reece was telling Fiona

to give away the skull she'd got for him to other players.

I mean, is that the play of a Traitor

trying to look like a Faithful, or is it actually a Faithful

just trying to help his fellow team-mates?

Can't find the other two, man.

Ask Fiona for two. Quick!

Fiona, darling, you can give me two.

Thank you, my babe.

Yes! Whoo! Come on, Harriet! Thank you kindly.

Yes! Yes!

Yabba Dabba Doo!

Harriet, you are quite possibly my hero.

Traitor hunter. Cager releaser. Wow.

That woman.

James is free.

And that is £8,000 added to the prize fund.

There is only one place left.

Right, start building them.

We need to build them faster than them two. Quick.

Doing well, doing well. That's it. OK, really slow.

Just take your time. Take your time. Nice and easy.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! No! OK.

Oh...!

It's one place left.

It is unbelievably tense.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Don't drop it.

Last one. Yeah, that's it.

Oh!

I can't watch.

Rachel is almost there.

YES! YES!

Well done! Amanda is free.

Players, the mission is over. Well done.

Fiona, come back! Fiona!

Could somebody please send a cab for Fiona?

The pressure was unreal during that mission

cuz I was trying to save Maz,

and someone beat me to it, but I done my best for him.

Well done, players. You released five players,

so a massive £10,000...

Come on! Yes! Come on! Has been added to the prize fund.

And those five players, you are now protected from murder.

For those of you who didn't get released -

Stephen,

Reece,

Maz

and Sam -

I'm afraid it's a very different end for you.

You will be left in your cages

and then one of you will be murdered tonight by the Traitors...

face-to-face.

Oh, my God!

It is so wicked.

I like being mischievous.

It's so much fun!

And at least they can go home

knowing who the Traitors are.

So it's a gift. It's a gift.

Think of it that way.

On that bombshell,

everyone, please say their goodbyes and then head back to the castle.

Sorry, man. Sorry, mate. It's all right. I tried.

Listen, you did your best, and that's all it is.

I was gutted.

But I don't blame Adam. Unfortunately,

the others just beat us to it,

and I could be murdered for it.

I love you so much. Thank you for the effort, genuinely.

Thank you. I'm just so sorry. It's fine.

Fiona, bless her.

I literally worship her like she is my mum.

I knew that she wasn't going to get me out,

so that's why I was like, "Look, get...

"Give whatever you've got to Rachel and Amanda, get them out."

I am a Faithful and that's what's gutting.

Yeah. It's disappointing. Yeah.

I just cannot tell you how tonight's going to go.

I really don't know. But I hope to death that it's not me.

Don't go tonight. And if you do, I love you so much

and you've been brilliant. Guys!

Obviously I can't be murdered tonight, but I think

I did quite well in kind of feigning shock.

People seem to be seeing me as a Faithful right now.

I don't know how they'll see me when I come back tomorrow.

I have a feeling that poor Stephen's for the chop.

If Reece comes back tomorrow... you're going to be convinced.

It looks really suspicious. I think he is a Traitor.

I'm more moving on to Stephen being safer.

What he does... What he does, what I've noticed on the Round Table

is he'll give an opinion, but he'll give an opinion

once he knows what everybody else's opinion is.

OK, got you. Yeah.

There must have been Traitors in the cages. Yes.

Who do you think the Traitor in the box is?

Stephen.

This is the first night I know I'm going to come to breakfast.

What a feeling.

Who's in your mind at the moment?

Amanda's sharp.

I don't feel strongly about whether she's a Traitor or not...

Nor me... but what I do know is she's very suggestive. Mm.

She underplays her intelligence.

She's someone who tells you what you should be thinking a lot.

Yeah. Yeah! That's all she does with me.

Yes. Yes, she does that... She does that with me as well.

It's the only person trying to,

like, consciously influence other people's way of thinking. Yes! Yeah.

If I was a Traitor, I'd be like,

"Harriet, I want you on my team instantly."

Very intelligent.

I was interested in how she voted for Ross today,

and she did talk about it before the table,

but I don't think she was there at all before today.

That's because Rachel said. Because it was Rachel and Harriet,

and they said, "You're missing the obvious..."

Yeah, but... "we are going for Ross."

But Harriet wasn't on that train of thought until today.

So who has put that in her mind, then? Good point.

I think Rachel is very influential with a select few people.

I sense that Rachel is playing her own game

and I'm ready for that.

So the jury's out with me at the moment.

She's got a lot to prove to me.

Any particular glass? Surprise me.

I think you're a purple bubble girl.

I am! Purple bubble. Yeah, I like that.

Hello, Fiona.

So, what's your thoughts? We've just been talking down there.

Oh, God. Hang on. What? Who? What?

Your names are coming up.

Oh, really? Why? Yeah. That you are an influencer.

Oh, I wish. Can you tell me who?

I was chatting to

um, James, Ellie... Oh, interesting... and Adam.

Oh, interesting.

I feel vulnerable because people have got an image of me

that I've got it all sussed, that I'm an influencer,

and the image could quite easily be pushed onto

the shoulders of a Traitor.

You know, I'm trying to play that down.

And it's really hard

to be less Detective Chief Inspector and be more charity worker.

And you as well with regards to who were the people

that have been pushing the narrative?

What... what narrative am I pushing? On Ross, which was you,

and apparently Harriet's never said Ross.

And then she suddenly mentioned Ross today.

No, she did before the Round Table. She did!

Oh, that's not what... That's not what was said down there.

Fiona came in trying to stir the pot,

saying my name in front of Amanda.

She's so unpredictable and I'm watching her.

I think she is very dangerous for my game.

But I'll see you tomorrow. You WILL see me tomorrow.

Night-night.

As the clock chimes, the safe players return to their beds

knowing they're safe from murder.

However, in the woods, four players are still locked in cages.

Of course, Traitor Stephen is in the mix,

so one of the other three Faithful -

Maz, Reece or Sam -

will be murdered tonight.

I'm shaking with cold, with fear.

My heart was, like, pounding.

I could feel Reece's heart pounding.

Petrified I could be murdered tonight.

The idea that this could be it is, like, really unsettling.

Obviously, because I'm stuck in a cage,

I don't get to go to the turret

and have a chat with Rachel and Fiona.

I'm so disappointed in myself that I put myself in this situation.

Oh, what a day.

Fiona. We still haven't spent any time together.

I know. We need to be playing the same game...

Yeah... if we want to focus on winning

and not having suspicion around each other.

Yeah. Let's make a point of spending time together.

I really feel we must. OK.

Um, so... What about Stephen?

It's not nice, is it? No, it's not.

It was a decision made to put him into the nine.

A lot of players think there's Traitors within the nine... Yeah.

So he's starting to get a little bit of heat on him.

So... It's Sam, Reece and Maz.

Stephen - who do you think he would think?

He voted for Maz.

Does it harm his game if we take Maz out?

Is it going to endanger him?

I find Sam more dangerous than Maz, cuz Maz is stuck on Jade.

Sam is a very astute man.

I think because he made an error with Judy,

he is watching and he's very subtly making suggestions.

Will Reece being killed put any suspicion on Stephen,

do you think?

In terms of murdering Reece, he was really visibly upset...

Yes... after the Round Table and a couple of people said,

"Given your reaction, I actually think you're a Faithful."

Right. So I don't know.

You have more experience of knowing the way that Stephen thinks. Mm-hm.

So as long as you are sure it's the right one,

then I'll go with you. Do you know what? I just...

I want to get it over and done with... Yes.

And get back to... Let's do it.

And get back to murdering in here, where people can't see us.

I prefer that much better. Do you? Yeah.

Oh, I think it's nice to look at them... Do you?!

And tell them! Fiona, this is so cruel.

OK. I will do the honors. Ah...

We had to think, how could we help Stephen with this one?

And I do think that we put the right person in the grave.

We were in a horror film.

Total silence. Almost pitch-black.

And some henchman walking around with a massive axe.

Please, please don't murder me.

If I was to survive tonight, I'm going all guns blazing tomorrow

cuz I've got to throw everything at it.
