Original subtitles

Previously, as our deadly game began...

Sam!

And the players started dwindling...

Traitor! -Faithful.

I'm a Faithful.

The Traitors murdered again.

But there were tensions in the Turret.

-You threw the grenade into our team. -I don't trust you.

The mission allowed players to reflect on their game...

"Who is the most arrogant of them all?"

I did put you.

"Who is the blandest of them all?"

Ellie.

But also brought great power for the winning players.

Rachel, Harriet, Matthew,

you will be able to ask the Traitors two questions.

We're not saying anything,

because we're not giving the Traitors a heads-up.

Rachel is my number-one suspect.

I don't know what to ask.

Roxy, do you want my smoky mirror?

I would happily take it, to be fair, but no.

After a dramatic Round Table...

You are a Traitor.

Fiona, you are up for an Oscar.

You're one of the people that I feel like I'm closest to in here

and I just feel like maybe I've kind of got... got it all wrong.

The Faithful celebrated their second win.

-Fiona. -Fiona.

Fiona, I'm sorry.

I am...

a Traitor!

It was time for Harriet and Matthew to talk to the Traitors.

But what will become of one Faithful's request?

I want you to murder Jessie.

And then the next time you seduce, you can seduce me.

Do we have a deal?

This is The Traitors.

Do we have a deal?

"We have a deal, new recruit."

I wanted to be a Traitor from the very beginning, so...

keep my cloak warm.

Obviously, I do not know what I'm walking into.

They could totally screw me over here.

But if you can't beat them, join them.

This is my opportunity

to get into their heads, to show them

that they have been dealing with someone

who knows more than they thought...

and that they are vulnerable and that they can be taken down.

Traitors...

I may not know who you are,

but I want you to know who I am.

I'm the author of published psychological thrillers...

and I'm also a former criminal barrister.

As we all know, you only now have a few days

to recruit a new member following Fiona's banishment.

My question is, who are you going to recruit,

your three favorite names for that,

and why are they your choices?

"One, Harriet."

Do you really think I'm not going to tell the others tomorrow?

Ha!

"Two, Jessie, under the radar."

Nice try.

"And three, Sam, sacrificial lamb."

Well, he has been your sacrificial lamb throughout.

I think that this answer is not worth

the paper on which it's written.

And if my voice is shaking, it is not through nerves.

It is through anger

that you have taken me for such a fool.

I don't think this is an exercise in finding anything out.

What this is

is an exercise to show that I am onto them,

and that their identities may not be as secret

as they think they are.

I think we all know that the gig is up for Rachel.

I am as certain as I possibly can be that Rachel is in that confessional.

I think tomorrow that it will be very interesting

to see who acts in Rachel's defense,

as I will have no compunction in going after her.

And you know what? You can't murder me tonight.

There is nothing that you can do to stop me.

So, are you going to continue to work in a pack to protect Rachel?

That is my question.

That's unnerved me.

I feel really, really uneasy at the minute.

Like, she said it with such conviction

that she's coming for me.

This is the strongest attack on anybody

since this game started,

and I'm nervous that she might just get me.

"No. Take her."

With great pleasure.

I bet you wished you'd killed me when you had the chance.

With no murder, 13 lucky players remain in the game.

But after last night's meeting with the Traitors,

the pressure is mounting for Rachel.

-We're first! -Yay!

-So happy we get the best breakfast. -Oh, that's nice.

Oh, that looks scary, doesn't it, with everyone off now?

Honestly, it is crazy how quickly the number's going down.

I'm feeling anxious this morning

after last night's antics.

Harriet thinks Rachel was in the confession box

and Harriet is a loose cannon.

She is by far the biggest threat to the Traitors at this moment.

Oh, Jesus, man.

I really want to hear from the people

who spoke to the...

Oh, yes, of course! -You're one of them!

Oh, you're one of them!

We'll do it all together.

Oh, yes, of course, of course, of course.

Yeah. -OK.

Come in!

Hello!

-Oh, looking sharp, Faz. -If he was any sharper,

-he'd cut himself today. Look at him.

How does it feel to not be murdered?

I feel like I'm in two camps this morning.

I'm a Traitor in waiting.

How are you feeling?

Good, yeah. -Yeah?

I'm just happy, one more day.

I know. -One more mission.

Yeah.

I don't really know how to play it.

I feel like I just have to play right now as a Faithful,

because the Traitors are liars

and they may screw me over.

-I'm sure you're all eager. -Yeah, we've not...

We wanted to wait.

Wait for them to come and see what they say.

I personally think it's only fair that we...

-Just have a quick five minutes. -Have a quick word. I'm so sorry.

-Oh, come in. -Oh, come in.

-Morning. -Good morning.

Rachel, AKA The Hunter. Rargh!

You look so nice. Like, the cherries.

Thank you.

Oh, sorry, you're talking about her, yeah.

I was so nervous coming to breakfast this morning.

I glanced around and Harriet wasn't there.

That put me at ease a little bit,

because I didn't have to, you know, act

like I wasn't frightened.

I wore my bracelets today.

I have one from each of my children,

and it says, "I am strong," "I am loved," and, "I am me."

And I need to remember that today,

because she is a woman on a mission.

Rachel's one of the five, just for Rachel's benefit.

We want the five of us to have a quick chat

-before we speak to everyone. -OK.

Oh.

-Hello! -Come in.

Hello!

Harriet! You're looking gorgeous this morning.

-Morning. -Good morning, everyone.

-Morning. -How are we all?

After meeting the Traitors last night,

it's time to put an end to their game.

There are going to be some truth bombs.

Sorry, everyone to interrupt, but there are a few things

-that I want to say... -Harriet, just really, really quickly.

No. -If it's about the thing...

Yes. -We decided, collectively,

maybe we should take five before...

No, I'm afraid I'm not acting as a collective

-with anybody any more, Roxy. -Oh, OK.

I'm afraid that I'm done with that.

I want to speak about

what happened last night with my meeting with the Traitors.

I want to start off

by introducing myself properly to all of you.

I have been acting, as it were,

undercover for the past couple of weeks.

I am a writer, but I'm actually

a published author of several psychological thrillers.

And...

And I was, in a former life,

a criminal barrister, which might have...

That explains everything!

Oh, my God!

Let's be clear

that, obviously, I kept it quiet from the very start,

because as soon as I was chosen as a Faithful,

I would have been walking around with a great fat target on my back.

Yeah. -Yeah.

However, I want to tell you exactly

what I asked the Traitors last night.

Can I say what happened? Because everyone's dying to know.

We get to the Garden and there's five mirrors.

Three of them had smoke. That would be the ones

that you would be able to then see the Traitors.

Harriet, Matt and Rachel got the smoke,

but Claudia said it's up to the Traitors

if they tell you the truth.

So, my first question to them was

who they were planning to recruit next.

First they said me.

The second name was Jessie,

they said, because you're so under the radar.

And the third name, Sam -

you're the sacrificial lamb.

Yeah.

So I hope if you were offered recruitment,

that you've not taken it.

-I wasn't even offered it. -And my second question was this.

And, Rachel, my intention tonight at Round Table

is to lay out my evidence for why I think you are a Traitor.

Oh, my God.

So, the question that I had for the Traitors was

if they were going to continue to defend her,

given that it would look very suspicious,

and the reply that they gave to that was, "No, take her."

I feel that there was an aspect of double bluff to that,

that it was meant to make me second-guess myself,

but I was not going to allow a day of any further machinating

and web weaving around me, because I have had enough.

I'm on to you.

You should have killed me when you had the chance.

-Where has this come from? -I'm not going to tell you now.

I'm going to lay my reasons out tonight, Rachel.

Absolutely shocked.

We were trying to come up with, what angle do we approach this?

Because obviously there has to be a benefit for the Faithful.

-I'll tell you the benefit. The benefit... -Rachel was speaking.

You've said a lot. Let Rachel speak.

Is to set the cat amongst the pigeons, Roxy!

-Listen, don't speak to me like that... -That is all I have to say.

Because you've said a lot,

and Rachel was just speaking, so give her a moment, please.

Do you want to respond or can I add something?

-I don't know how to respond to that. -I'll just add my tuppence.

All right? So, I've asked questions. I've got answers back

that could be true or false.

-Are you telling us what they were? -No.

Maybe I've gained some information.

But if I reveal that, then I just get murdered.

Mm-hm.

It's all about finding Traitors and getting them banished

rather than holding a secret, surely?

Well, because it could be a lie.

-Yeah, I'm with you on that. -So, for instance...

But we've got to try and do it as a team rather than

-not as a team. -Yeah, but then it's muddying the water,

cuz what's the benefit for the Traitors?

Telling lies that come from the Traitors, potentially.

-Yeah, the Traitors are in it to win it. -That's not suspicious.

That's just fair enough.

Can we hear Rachel's questions and answers?

Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah, please.

Obviously, I didn't ask myself anything,

but I need to come up with something.

My hands were shaking a little bit under the table,

but I don't think anybody saw.

So, basically, my angle was I'm going to try

and make them feel as uneasy as they make us feel.

So my first question was...

describe your game plan from the first, like, Turret.

So their response was murder and lie.

So then my next question was,

in what way do you think that more than one Traitor

can win this game and why?

And they come back and says, "We don't."

-As in divided? -They think only one can.

-They don't think... Yeah, yeah. -Only one.

-As in it's every man for themselves? -Yeah.

They're going to start turning on each other soon.

So, Traitor versus Traitor.

Oh!

I feel like the more information I get, the more confused I get.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Good morning. -Morning.

I hope you all had a restful night

knowing the Traitors weren't murdering.

And while most of you might have been talking in your sleep,

as you know, a few of you talked to the Traitors.

I do hope it provided a fountain of knowledge.

And on that note, I'll see you at the mission.

Wet, wet, wet. -Fountain.

Hang on, fountain.

Wet, wet, wet.

Get the flippers out, lads.

-Harriet, can we talk? -No, I've got nothing to say to you.

-What, she walked away? -I said, "Can we talk?"

"I've got nothing to say to you."

That seems very overdramatic.

Like she's in a court of law.

She is playing a blinder.

What the hell?! My mind is blown.

No wonder my hair's so big.

I mean, you shouldn't really be surprised.

Anything can happen in this game, but Harriet being rude to people

doesn't sit right with me whatsoever.

My mum did teach me well. Like, you've got to be kind

and you've got to be respectful and polite,

but also you don't get taken for a fool.

Do you think the way that she spoke to me at that table was appropriate?

No.

I am not intimidated and I will not back down.

She's stitching you up because she's realized

how clever you are to come at Fiona.

I recognized the reaction at the table with Harriet and Fiona,

and it was like Harriet was shook and on the back foot.

It's because that was Traitor versus Traitor.

Harriet comes in and she goes nuclear.

And, if I'm honest, I'm kind of pleased

because it's definitely put the spotlight on her.

I think I was speaking to Harriet in the confessional last night.

Yeah, they were bricking it, bricking it.

-They wanted to keep it in the group. -But what I don't understand,

what's the secret? If Matt is a Traitor,

he can't think off the top of his head the questions

to give answers.

Roxy was at the family tree with Maz,

which is no longer here. -Oh!

Roxy...

Sorry, what's the matter?

Just heard my name being mentioned.

It's just at breakfast this morning, looked like you was bricking it.

And also the family tree also with the dots,

you know, you was there with Maz.

Maz and Roxy were at the family tree.

Harriet, I don't want to hear anything you've got to say.

And I think the way you spoke to me at the table was disgusting.

To say that we're actually quite friends in this game,

that went past the friendship thing for me.

Adam, I take your point on board and, to be honest,

I am shaking from what... all what has just occurred there.

Yeah.

I can look you eye to eye. I am not a Traitor.

Harriet, you offered me the power to see the Traitors.

Yeah.

Why would you do that unless you were a Traitor yourself?

She is a barrister.

You're telling me that bit went over her head?

She tried to give me the power because she's a Traitor.

I am a Faithful. You decide whatever you wish to do.

Yeah, you deserve a clap for your speech.

It was very Hugo-esque at the table.

Everything I've done has been for this team of Faithfuls.

What on earth is she going to say tonight?

-I'm all ears. -So am I.

You need to watch at who is playing a character in here.

Hugo was doing the same.

Barristers, their job is to act in court.

Do they?

Yeah. You can't, like, go in and be, like, all timid.

You have to be assertive and dominant and present your case.

I don't know what the ramifications are going to be

following Harriet's commandeering of the breakfast table.

She may have been too dramatic,

which is raising a little bit of suspicion.

It's my job to cause chaos in the castle.

She has caused the chaos this morning.

I didn't even get to have my cup of tea.

I'm going to get a wee drink, guys.

What do you think about Matt's approach, to not share?

Well, that's what I would do

if I were a Traitor and I'd been blindsided.

Hi!

Oh, sorry. Do you mind if I get a wee drink?

Is that OK? -No, please do, please do.

Thank you.

I'm just having a moment with my camomile tea.

I think the camomile tea's maybe a good shout.

I did not envy Rachel this morning,

because Harriet is a force to be reckoned with.

And, actually, I didn't know if she had maybe gone home

and then had another epiphany

that I was standing right there with her, you know?

So although I'm trying to defend Rachel,

I need to make sure that I'm also staying in Harriet's good books.

-I've got zero sus on Rachel. -Of course.

And this morning in breakfast when you said,

like, "Look at who isn't going for Rachel,

"look at who's, like, protecting her,"

like, I'm not protecting her by saying that.

-No, no, don't worry at all. -Yeah.

If I can put it this way, you're not on my list.

OK.

With the prize pot currently sitting at £47,250,

today's mission is a chance

for the players to come together and add to it further.

Faithful!

Faithful!

What's in store for us today?

-Wait, is it red? -No, I think that's just the fountain.

No, no, that is red. -That is rust.

That is red.

Hi. -Hi.

Hi.

We walked down the glorious manor.

We saw a lovely fountain full of murky coppery water.

And I thought, "OK, we're going to get a little bit wet here,

"aren't we?"

Welcome to the Fountain of the Faithful.

It has seen better days.

Not only is it missing the key ingredient

to make it a water feature,

it is also missing eight cherub statues.

Your job is to find them

and place them round the edge of the fountain.

I'll tell you how you're going to do that.

There are hundreds of coins in there.

You're specifically looking

for these -

coins that have cherubs on them,

because on the other side

is the location of where the statues can be found.

Go in, find these and bring the statues back to me.

If you bring all eight back,

£10,000 will be added.

You have 30 minutes in which to do this.

I have to tell you, it's an all-or-nothing mission.

Ay!

So I need all eight statues placed there

for you to add the £10,000 to the prize pot.

-As usual, there is more. -Yeah.

At the base of these statues,

you will find a Shield

that will protect you from tonight's murder.

But they come at a price.

For every Shield you find and use,

I will deduct £1,000 from the prize fund.

What?

What's more important - the money or your life?

If you find a Shield, you can wear it proudly.

Or you can tell nobody. It is your choice.

But if you don't bring all eight statues back

within the allotted time, no Shields that have been found will count.

Do you understand?

Yeah. -Yeah.

OK. For this, you're going to need to split into teams.

-Please do that now. -OK.

So four. -Hello, boys. Is that OK?

Yeah, yeah. -Hold on, hold on.

There's a five, five and a three. That's not fair.

I felt that after my explosion at breakfast,

I was not in a position to be in a team with Rachel, funnily enough.

And, actually, cold water could be a corrective to rage.

-Yeah. I'll come over. -All right. OK.

Your time starts in three, two, one.

-Go! -Here we go.

Oh, it's as warm as toast. -Oh, you cheeky minx!

Oh, that is so cold!

-OK. -Urgh, it's disgusting.

There was £10,000 up for grabs, but also there were eight Shields.

Every Shield would deduct £1,000 from the group.

So it's that question of, like,

what's more important - your money or your life?

-Got one, got one, got one. -Sam, is that you?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Got one! I've got one, guys.

-Where are you going? -We're off to The Valley.

Over here, over here, over here. Let's go.

Giant pine tree. That way.

I got one! -Yes, Rach.

The Labyrinth.

The Valley's left.

-Argh! -Whoa!

The question is, will anyone take a Shield?

And will they declare it?

-Put it in. -I'll put the coin in.

OK.

We were desperate for a Shield.

It was almost like, who's going to ask for it first?

Who's getting the Shield?

-I would really like it personally. -Take it.

A Shield's more than a grand in my eyes,

and I didn't want to be murdered, as simple as that.

You have to look after number one in this game.

Right. Let's go. Come on. We need to get back quick.

Up there, up there.

-The Shield will be under this. -Put it in.

-Let's go. -What are we doing?

I think everyone wants a Shield.

-Just play out some scenarios. -I have had the least heat,

which they will murder me because there's no link.

You're quite opinionated, James. They're going to keep you in.

If you take it now, we leave... We leave the second one,

and then we're all five protected, so we're only losing 1,000.

Take it.

And what we agreed was we would take that Shield

and we wouldn't tell the other teams

who got that Shield, which would be protecting all five of us,

essentially, from murder, because the Traitors wouldn't know

which of the five of us has taken the Shield.

For the next statue, we're leaving that Shield.

That's it. No more Shields now.

We have to put the coin in.

-What do we do? -I would like one. I won't say who got it.

Let's just get back in there, guys.

Oh, well done! Another statue is coming.

Just get it on and go back in for now.

This is brutal.

I love a good treasure hunt

and I do it all the time with the kids.

But those cherubs were heavy.

Found one! -Where are we going?

The Farmer's Gate.

Farmer's Gate.

Players, ten minutes have gone.

Find the statues!

Got one! -Yes! Yes!

The Footbridge. -This way!

-This way! -I've got one, I've got one!

-Oh, right! -The Old Cedar Stump.

Girls, after getting Fiona out, I feel very vulnerable.

What do you think? Can I take the next Shield?

Of course you can. Go for it, Rach.

-All right. Here we go. -All right. All right.

-Let's get it moving. -Someone go behind.

I'll go front this time. Three, two, one. Lift.

Good.

We're leaving this Shield, yeah?

Yeah. Yeah. Hoy, hoy, hoy, hoy!

Right, Jack.

You're definitely regarded as more Faithful than me so far.

Take the Shield. If any of you are Traitors and mess me up,

I'm going to be pissed. -Are you sure?

Take it just now.

We'll get more. Don't worry. We'll get more.

I feel, actually, after today that I can trust Stephen.

The fact that he offered me the Shield first,

it seemed so genuine.

And I feel like I owe him one for that big time.

-You all right on that side, Faraaz? -Yeah.

-Right, you're all OK with me taking it? -Yeah.

Put it really careful and hide.

Even though I know I'm not going to be murdered,

it's like a little mini victory when you can

steal a Shield from somebody who actually needs it.

I'm not telling a soul.

Don't sprinkle me.

-Oi, why would you say that? -Urgh!

It was horrible being in the fountain.

Oh! No, thank you. No, thank you.

-Oi! -Hey, careful on the stairs.

Got one, got one, got one!

-Yay! -Go, go, go.

Riverbank. Down there. Down there.

-It's going to be a long walk back. -Woo!

You've got just over ten minutes, guys.

That's the sixth statue.

There's only one coin left to find.

I've got it. Guys, I've got it! Come on.

-The Ancient Oaks. -Right, Ancient Oak.

OK. -OK.

OK, pop it in.

I've not had a Shield yet. I would really love a Shield.

Go for it.

I obviously know that I'm not at risk of murder,

but if I don't get a Shield for myself,

tonight's murder is going to be really tricky.

There's a rope. Are we going for a swim?

Of course we're going to get wet.

Oh, that's a little bit colder!

Oh, my God!

Keep the rope tight. -Yeah. Got it.

Keep the rope tight! -Argh!

The river was running at quite a high current.

Argh!

You're all right, we've got you. Take your time.

I was actually quite scared.

-Get in there, mate. -Right. Leave that Shield.

We had an agreement that if we took one Shield, we'd all be protected.

But that's not the case, right?

Because that still gives them an 80% chance of firing and landing.

Grabbing a Shield will protect me from murder tonight.

But how am I going to do it subtly?

I'm going this side of the rope.

-And we've got this, Jessie. -Oh!

-Harriet, you're in the river!

-Argh! -Is she all right?

This is mad!

-Harriet, are you all right? -Yes!

I grabbed it in that moment and it felt exhilarating.

It was quite selfish, I'm not going to lie.

It's self-preservation.

The money is irrelevant if you're going to be murdered.

We're nearly there. -Ready?

Yeah. -Right, nice and slow.

-Argh! -You all right, mate? We've got you.

Oh, that's the plums cold.

It is so important that we get this statue back in time -

because if we don't, we'll lose everything.

All right, come on. We can't lose this.

Come on, guys! -Come on!

Come on, guys!

Argh!

Come and help! -Come on.

Go!

Let's go, let's go!

We took the cherub off their shoulders and we ran.

Come on!

-Right. -Whoa!

-Come on! -Let's go! Quick, quick!

Let's go! Come on!

Go, go, go!

Turn the wheel!

Well done.

That's a thing of beauty.

Congratulations. You restored all eight cherub statues.

So well done. You did it in the time.

That means the fountain is flowing.

But it doesn't necessarily mean the money is.

You could have banked £10,000.

But I can now reveal...

seven of you took Shields.

-What? -Seven!

So for today's mission, you only banked £3,000.

Are you joking?

What?

Claudia said seven Shields were taken,

which was like, for our team, was a massive shock cuz we thought,

"Let's take one, £1,000 off."

And we assumed that the others would do the same.

Does anybody want to reveal if they have a Shield?

It's OK. Nobody has to reveal.

Seven of you might be protected from murder,

but as you all know by now,

nobody is safe from banishment.

Have a long think about that,

and I will see you at the Round Table.

Six people took Shields. We took one out of the seven.

They're lying. -How come...?

They're lying.

They must be lying. -We got three.

We got two.

-How come they only got one? -So they're lying.

It seems to be that somebody has sneakily taken another Shield.

Somebody's lying -and for a change, it's not me.

Guys! -What?

We were just thinking about the maths

and something doesn't stack up, as the amount of people

-that could have the potential statues... -There was eight statues

-and seven Shields gone. -How many statues did you guys get?

Three. -Three.

We got two.

So we could have had a maximum of two.

And we took three.

They had a maximum of three.

Which means that you guys had more than one Shield

-on your team, then. -No, we've got one Shield.

-You don't have one Shield. -We have one Shield.

-But that doesn't add up. -Unless someone took it without me seeing.

It's what happened.

It's your team that doesn't add up with the math.

Honestly... -Yeah?

To MY knowledge, we took one.

-OK. -I would bet my house on it.

Flipping heck.

I've just got this bad feeling that they're going to guess

who has a Shield and they're going to get me out.

Think about it. Just think about it. Yeah?

Well, as far as I know,

our group took one. I took the first one, and that was it.

When can you take it?

You can only take it when you pick it up from the stack,

-from the base. -Right, OK, that does narrow it down.

So someone in that group has taken it without telling

-the rest of the group? -Yeah, allegedly.

But how would they do that without four other people noticing?

Me and you did that. I didn't do it.

We agreed right at the start.

If someone's done that in the group, I will actually be pissed off.

-Yeah, I will be pissed off. -It's not me. It ain't me.

It's not me.

It was only you.

-What do you mean it's only me? -Someone in your group is lying

-to the rest of the group. -Who was left at the last one?

Oh, mate, have you taken one? Have you taken one?

I went at the back.

-So you've taken it? -No. No, I haven't taken the Shield.

-Today has been wild. -And it's only going to get worse.

It's going to really kick off now that someone in their team's lied.

Like, I'm not saying I know who it is,

but, like, surely you'd know better than to do that.

I'm actually annoyed. -Yeah.

I'm annoyed at whoever's done that

on my team, but I'm annoyed at myself. Like, I've come in here,

like I've come here to win. And I've gone, "Why have I thought about other people?"

Yeah, yeah.

I think by my reaction,

it's quite obvious that I didn't get a Shield.

-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.

But now from my perspective, there's no point talking about it more,

because if there are Traitors amongst us,

I'm now giving them clues of who hasn't got a Shield

and who's up for... Who can be murdered. -Exactly.

Yeah. -Exactly.

Damn, this is... This is crazy.

Sam is saying that he definitely didn't get a Shield.

However, I can't tell if he's just lying to cause confusion.

I'm going to go and speak to Adam.

Maybe he's hoping there's a Traitor in the room with him

when he says that. He could be trying to catch me out.

I grabbed the Shield to stay in the game,

but I saw the reaction from my team-mates and I'm like, "Uh..."

I genuinely feel a little bit guilty,

but I can say it was an honest mistake, which it wasn't.

Look, I'm not a very good liar. It was me. I'm sorry.

-Yeah, I knew straight away. -I know that.

-You do realize you BLEEP it for all of us? -Yeah.

-No, I haven't. -You have. Because if we had one

and we didn't tell anyone else who took one, then we'd be sweet.

What's the logic with me now going, "I've got it"?

Mate, it doesn't matter.

-It doesn't matter now. -It's already done.

If you'd have said, "Self-preservation"

amongst us at the time, we'd be like, "All right. Bit annoying.

"We agreed that. But cool."

-It still doesn't matter... -It don't change it, then.

No, it does, mate, because...

The way I reacted when someone... -Sorry.

Don't try and battle this

because you can't get out of it.

-Oh, right. I'm going to get a drink. -What, a strong one or what?

I'm raging at the minute,

because James just did something so stupid today.

But I don't think he's a Traitor.

When your game is ruined by someone else's, like, sneakiness

and lack of foresight,

it's just gutting, man.

I'm not saying that, like, I'm definitely going tonight,

but the options for murder as a Traitor now are just so clear.

-It'll be a saucy one today, like. -At the Round Table?

-Yeah. -I think more people

are suspicious of Harriet's behavior than yours.

But, like, where did it come from?

Your behavior, and the way you've asked questions

and you've spoken to people about any suspicions you've got,

has all been consistent from start to finish.

Yeah.

And just whatever she says, she says.

-I just have to sit and take it. -Mmm.

So, you think Rachel?

Rachel's the one that I've got the most on,

but at the moment, what we're waiting for is Round Table,

and it's going to have to see if my evidence

is enough to convince the rest of you.

-I don't know. -You know, let the games commence.

I've been, like, weighing this up in my mind, right?

And, like, correct me if I'm wrong here,

but surely it'd be a very ballsy play

if Harriet was the Traitor to come out and say what she said today.

Like, she is massively, like, putting herself in the firing line,

-whether she's Traitor or Faithful. -I...

It's a huge risk.

-I just think, actually, maybe... -I don't know.

Harriet is a Traitor.

Tonight at the Round Table is my opportunity

to present my evidence and banish Harriet,

the remaining Traitor.

You can't really hold it against me.

They know that I don't know who they are,

so I'll just further solidify my place

as a Faithful before hopefully I get recruited.

After today's mission, those who took Shields

sent shock waves through the castle,

and the feelings of deceit and intrigue

are only about to escalate, as it's time for the Round Table.

After Harriet's accusations at breakfast,

who will the Faithful believe?

I'm going for it tonight.

I'm going to state my case against Rachel.

She knows that I am onto her.

I might have to be in a position to fight for my life.

And I don't back away from a fight.

So if Harriet wants to take it to me, bring it on.

Players, welcome back to the Round Table.

Today, you added £3,000 to the prize fund.

So the current total is a staggering

£50,250.

We're at the halfway point

and you have caught two Traitors.

So, Faithful, you caught one last night.

Do you fancy doing it again?

The floor is yours.

All I want to say is, and I will speak on behalf of our team today,

when we arrived back at the castle, we thought we had one Shield.

We actually had two. And that's all I'll say.

OK.

-Can I say...? -You don't have to say anything.

Are you sure? -I wouldn't say...

No. No, just leave it now.

I think that after what I said at breakfast this morning,

it's only fair to you all,

and to Rachel, that I actually lay out the reasons

why I believe that Rachel is a Traitor.

You look amazing tonight, Rachel. I'd say dressed to kill.

Um...

-Very good, very good. -So my suspicions did start early on.

I think from the moment that the blindfolds came off,

you were in character...

and at the time, I bought it.

But you're far too clever. You know exactly what you're doing.

We move on, then, to the day of Hugo,

and you said to me, "You'll put a target on your back.

"Don't do it."

And I laid out my case against Hugo,

and I was really struck by the fact

that you went straight off into Ross.

We know now that Ross was a Faithful.

I felt that there was something wrong.

I felt I'd been played.

-With the Ross thing? -Yes.

Then Fiona took me aside,

and she said, "I think Rachel is a Traitor."

I think that it may be that Fiona had been set up

to find out from me whether I was suspicious.

By setting her up for that moment,

you were ensuring that you could cement your reputation

as a Faithful.

I didn't quite know how to play it

until I knew that I was going to have an opportunity

to speak to the Traitors.

This opportunity was not about what the Traitors could say to us

but what I could say to them - that I am on to you.

Your behavior only makes sense if you are a Traitor.

-That was a lot. -I know. There's a lot of evidence.

I actually don't think that's evidence.

I think that's your thoughts.

And I'm sorry that you don't trust me,

because I genuinely trusted you.

-And it's hard to hear. Um... -I'm sure you did trust me,

cuz you know I'm a Faithful. It's quite simple.

No, I trusted you cuz I liked you

and I thought you were just... my friend in here.

Friendship exists on one level. The game exists on another.

I know.

You don't hate the player, you hate the game.

I know. Well, I'll play my own game and make friends along the way,

so I'm OK with that.

In terms of Ross, I thought Ross was a Traitor.

So, whilst I suspected Hugo, I suspected Ross,

and I was sticking to my guns.

For the whole Fiona thing, I didn't start that.

She came in to a group of us in one room -

"I would like a word."

So you've had your moment to reveal a secret about you,

so I'm going to reveal a secret about me.

Oh!

I came here, I wanted to be a Traitor.

I wasn't selected to be a Traitor,

but I needed a plan B in my pocket to help me win as a Faithful.

So, for the last few months,

I have been trained by a former FBI agent

on the beauty of micro-expressions and people's ability to lie.

I knew there was something good about you.

And I have profiled every single one of you.

I know what to look out for,

and if that makes me a bad Faithful, or distrustful,

I'm really sorry, but I am trying my hardest

to come in here and to play a good game.

Who's your read tonight, then, if it's not putting you on the spot?

Jade, I'm sorry, but I think it's you.

I think you handle yourself really, really well.

That, coupled with...

suspicions from Amanda, and knowing her background,

puts you... up there with me.

The thing about Amanda is that I understand it puts me

in a really bad light.

And, like, now that she came out and she's a detective,

like, there's nothing I can say to that, other than, like,

I have been my most genuine, like, authentic self.

-Can I pick up on it? -Yeah.

Cuz, Jade, I came to the table with your name in mind,

and I trust that Amanda had, you know, really good skills,

and understanding she's a Faithful has made me relook at the people

she was most suspicious of.

Amanda got it wrong with me.

I will stand up there and say I'm a Faithful.

Matt, just quick. -Yeah.

At the breakfast table this morning,

um, what got me was, obviously, Rachel, you shared.

Harriet, you shared, and you didn't.

And, to me, that confused me, so I was just wondering

why you have decided to keep your questions and your answers a secret.

Obviously, this might make people suspicious,

but this is the decision I've made.

The Traitors can lie.

Yeah, but they already know the question and the answer.

-Yeah, exactly. -But the Faithfuls don't.

The Traitors could have given me dud information.

I point the finger at someone,

they stand up there, say they're a Faithful,

and what happens next?

You all look at me, and I'm gone next.

Do you think it'll incriminate you, potentially, if you shared it?

They could tell me not the truth. I could run with it

and it could backfire,

so I want to wait and watch and see what happens, yeah.

I've kept a meticulous track of how everyone's voted, OK?

Only three people here have voted out both Traitors, OK?

They are you,

Stephen

and Harriet.

Last night, you were not getting involved.

You've now shared this news that you're this incredible writer.

You write amazing twists.

This is the biggest twist the game of The Traitors has ever had.

And you didn't want to be involved in that.

You tried to give it to Roxy.

Now, this is a question. I want you all to just sit

and think about this.

As a Faithful, if any of you around this table had the power

to potentially see the Traitors,

would you even consider giving that away?

-I didn't want it right then. -But why not?

As a Faithful, it's all you want.

You've laid a very vague argument out against Rachel.

I'm not voting for Rachel tonight.

Thing is, what I'm interested in is a win for the Faithfuls.

If no-one is going to take my word for it about Rachel now,

you can clear this up once and for all

by voting me out

and have me stand there, and then I say that I'm a Faithful,

at which point all of you will then realize

that what I'm saying actually has merit.

Put my name down and then you can find out the truth.

This is the ultimate power move.

I don't think you're a Traitor at the minute,

so I don't want to vote for you.

-No, but it's... Honestly, it will be... -It's a wasted vote.

But it will clarify it. -What will it clarify?

I'm not doing it.

It will clarify that, you know,

once it's confirmed that I'm a Faithful,

it just supports the evidence.

But you haven't got any evidence. That's what I'm...

I don't understand. You have a gut feeling,

and your gut feeling and a lot of your things

was exactly the same as why I thought it was Ross.

And it will be... The thing is, though, it'll be different,

though, because I'm convinced that you will stand up there

and say that you're a Traitor,

which is why I'm prepared to stake my role in the game for this.

It's as simple as that.

I think you want us to call your bluff.

This is... -Cuz you're very clever.

Well, I think that you should...

No, I think you should call my bluff.

-I'm going to call your bluff. -Yeah, no, do.

You've planted a seed.

That means, when you continue to not get murdered,

you can very easily say, "Oh, Rachel's keeping me alive."

Because you're a Traitor.

Which will be a verification.

But during the conversation in the library,

I felt that I was surrounded by Traitors.

So, you think every single one of us,

that we were all a team of Traitors?

You think there's, what, four Traitors?

I'd say that there's four,

and there's every possibility a fifth has been recruited,

and I don't know who that is.

So, Harriet, if you were voted out and you are a Faithful...

-Yeah. -You're essentially telling us to look at

the other people in your team.

Jack, that's what I'm telling you to do.

-Call the bluff. Call her bluff. -Call the bluff.

-She's asking us to. -The bluff is Matthew.

The bluff is Roxy. The bluff is Rachel.

I am absolutely not a bluff. I am telling the whole truth.

I am not a Traitor.

Has anybody ever heard Harriet have any suspicions

or say my name as a potential Traitor before today?

Of course not. I'm not stupid. I could not show my hand.

But if you think we're the Traitors, then you're going to ask us anyway.

I don't think you can talk about questions

when you're not even prepared to share what you are.

No, that's a deflection. Why didn't you...?

-That is a deflection. -Yes, it is a deflection,

because, as I say, I'm not actually in the game now to defend myself.

You don't need me any more. You've got the information you need.

-Seriously... -Call her bluff.

Just call my bluff and get on with it,

because I'm not the one bluffing.

-Players... -Oh...

the time for talk is over.

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

Harriet, we're going to start with you.

Who do you believe is a Traitor, and why?

I mean, it's a shame I can only name one.

But the number-one choice for tonight is Rachel,

for reasons I shan't trouble you with again.

Rachel.

Tonight, I'm going to vote for Harriet.

Today's behavior was just so bizarre.

I don't know if you're a Traitor that's cracking under the pressure

or just a very passionate Faithful that's seeking out the truth.

I guess we'll find out.

Jade.

Harriet, I've gone for yourself today.

I just think your behavior this morning

at breakfast was so erratic.

Adam.

I went for Matt. Sorry, mate.

Sure. Yeah.

Faraaz.

So I'd like to think myself as quite the gentleman,

so, via personal request, I've voted for you, Harriet, today.

Roxy.

I believe Harriet to be a Traitor.

Stephen.

Harriet.

-Ellie. -Jade.

I don't want to vote for someone who I don't believe is a Traitor,

and so I've stuck with you.

Jack.

Harriet, this is absolutely nuts.

But, at your request, I voted for you.

James.

What a novel way of trying to leave this game, Harriet.

-Sam. -Harriet, I have voted for you tonight.

Matthew.

Harriet, lovely, I'm sorry.

And, for the final vote, Jessie.

Harriet, I picked you.

I really didn't want to put you on here.

Harriet, you have received the most votes.

Please, come up here and join me.

Harriet, you have received the most votes

and you are banished from the castle.

Please now reveal,

are you a Faithful, or are you a Traitor?

It's a kamikaze move. I appreciate that.

But I wanted to ensure that you all knew who I really was.

It seems to me that this is the only way

that I can get rid of any doubt over what I have said.

I've given you the names.

Do not let this sacrifice be in vain.

I am...

and have always been...

a Faithful.

I welcome any questions. Like, I honestly am a Faithful.

-I don't know what happened there. -Let's just pause.

Can we just pause a minute, please?

Faithful, so you've lost another innocent.

I tell you what -

in that Turret tonight, the Traitors,

they'll be laughing.

Goodnight.

-Well, that was surreal. -What a waste of a Round Table.

-Let's go and get a drink. -We've just lost another Faithful.

Yeah, we have lost another Faithful, but I don't know why she did that.

That really, really scared me.

I hadn't a clue what she was going to throw at me.

Revealing my training was part of my plan

for further down the line, but I thought it was time to go home.

I'm definitely, definitely not out of the woods.

I'll have to use Matty and Roxy as a Shield for a little bit.

She wanted us to do that, to point us to the Traitors,

and that's all I'm saying.

It was so self-sacrificial to put us on the right path.

Guys, I know how that looks.

Obviously, I've got it wildly wrong.

I genuinely thought that Harriet was a Traitor,

and I had to bring it up now,

because I didn't think that Rachel was a Traitor.

How wrong did I get it?

Harriet -she pressed the self-destruct button.

There's a lot going on at the minute.

Obviously, I've got this plan with the Traitors

to kill Jessie tonight,

but no-one knows if Jessie's shielded or not.

This game, I'm in trouble.

Yeah, yeah.

The Faithfuls are falling to absolute bits.

Like, I ain't got a Shield tonight.

This game is like a roller-coaster.

I feel like I've been turned upside down in a snow globe and shook.

And what do you think it means now about the names that she gave out?

-Like, do you think...? -Well, Rachel, Roxy, Matt.

I'm just trying to work out,

cuz I...

feel as if Roxy has piped up a bit.

I know it's her. I know it's Matthew.

I don't know which one to go for. It's one of them two.

You can see it on their faces, man.

I'll just run to the little boys' room, if that's OK.

I wanted to make sure that, going back to the Turret tonight,

I could give Rachel as much information

on what people are thinking,

cuz I would imagine she's feeling quite stressed.

How do you feel?

Because, obviously, you were with that group yesterday?

Hmm.

And she has now cast aspersions on...

On the group.

I just think, like, what she said,

I'm taking with a pinch of salt cuz of how she behaved today.

-Yeah. -And, obviously, I'll have a look,

-but at the moment, I just don't... -You don't have anything on them.

Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.

We're not looking at Rachel.

We're looking at Roxy and Matt, aren't we?

I don't think anyone's thinking Rachel,

which is interesting cuz Harriet was kind of most focused in on her.

I don't think anyone knows what to do with it.

It just doesn't feel like it's Rachel at the moment.

Harriet came with such a flimsy case against you,

-and I just... -And it was very long.

It was just long, anecdotal.

I didn't know how to respond to that cuz I couldn't remember all the...

Like, the points that she'd made.

And, obviously, I have a huge target on my back.

I'm just delighted that there's 12 people and seven Shields.

-Night, guys. -Night, my darling.

If you're not a Traitor, I wish you the best of luck.

I'm not.

I'll hopefully see you tomorrow.

The clock has struck midnight,

and the Faithful have returned to their individual lodgings

with Harriet's last words ringing in their ears.

Goodnight.

As for Stephen and Rachel,

I'm about to pay them a little visit.

They have a big decision to make.

-Stephen. -Well done.

-You did so well tonight. -It was like I was afraid to breathe.

I know. I think Harriet just unravelled today

and no-one was buying what she was selling.

No.

I was doing a bit of a recce for you tonight,

and I just said, "Where do we go now?"

And James said, "Well, it's obvious.

"We look at Matt and Roxy."

-OK. -So take a breath.

You're safe.

Today.

And who knows what's going to happen tomorrow?

But...

Snap.

-So we've taken two from the Faithfuls. -Yeah.

Oh, God.

Come in.

Oh!

Hi, Traitors.

Hi. -Hi.

Now, I've come with news.

-I thought you might. -Yes.

So, as you know, Fiona was banished.

There is now two of you.

As per the rules of the game,

you now have an opportunity to seduce.

Oh, my God.

So you need to make a choice -

murder as usual

or seduce a Faithful.

If you choose to recruit,

all I ask is that you write the name down on this anonymous invitation.

I will then deliver it to them.

If they accept, they'll become a Traitor this evening.

But, of course, they could refuse the invitation.

I'll leave this here.

I will come back... shortly.

-OK. -Thank you, Claudia.

Good luck.

What's your gut telling you?

We need someone who does have a little bit of heat on them.

Because they will need to leave at some point.

Mm-hm.

And I think we're maybe thinking of the same person.

It's... -Matty.

Yeah.

-He's asking for it. -And he's under so much heat.

But we don't know how he's going to behave in here.

He could go out there as a Traitor and just blow everything up.

I know.

He's strong.

He came with a caseload against Harriet and he was wrong.

He did. He could gather that very quickly about either of us

-once he knows our identity. -Very quickly.

I think we need to be very careful how we play this.

So, do we even seduce at all?

If we were to try and murder tonight,

obviously, I know who got the Shields in my group.

Yeah.

You know that in your group, you got a Shield and...?

Jade.

Which means that Ellie and Roxy don't have shields.

But we can't murder them

because only you know who has the Shields.

Yeah.

So we have to go for someone in the other group

and hope that it's right.

OK.

We had Sam,

James, Adam

and Jessie.

Those are the four left, right?

But we can't go for Sam.

No.

He spoke to, I think, four of us in the kitchen,

and he just, you know, let it slip that he didn't have a Shield.

Oh, OK.

And I think he might be bluffing,

because then if we go for him and he does have a Shield,

he'll say, "Ah, I told four people

"that I didn't have a Shield and now they've tried to go for me."

OK.

So he's an absolute no-no.

Who do we think was sneaky that went back for the second Shield?

It's something James would do.

And I... think, potentially, Adam as well.

If we were to murder James,

it could look suspicious on Roxy,

adding to the case that's already building against her.

But also, he's very unpredictable with his opinions.

-With his opinions. -He's going to get it right sooner...

Oh, he will.

I think Adam, at the moment...

-Who did he vote for tonight? -Matt.

If we went for Adam... -It implicates Matt.

Matt.

It also takes someone out of the game that I can't read.

One of the things we did say to Matty last night

was that we would murder Jessie tonight.

She's probably the most Faithful in that group.

She'll never be banished.

So my only concern about not going for Jessie tonight

is that if Matty does have any suspicion of you whatsoever,

and then he realizes that we're not keeping our word...

-He'll turn. -Will he turn?

We need to be really careful of that.

So, tonight, our choices for murder are Jessie,

Adam,

and James.

But if Sam doesn't actually have a Shield,

and let's say the two Shields are in those three people,

we've only got a 33% chance of getting it right.

-I'll let you do the honors tonight. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

I really hope we've done the right thing.

We'll know tomorrow.

-Hi. -Oh, hi.

Have you made a decision?

We're going to murder.

-Back in your happy place. -We're bloodthirsty.

-I will deliver that letter. -Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

-We've made a decision. -It's down to chance.

We'll just roll with the punches tomorrow.

Let's see what happens.
