Original subtitles

GRETEL KILLEEN: Welcome to our manor,

where deceit is power,

loyalty a liability...

..and trust can kill.

22 infamous Australians

have been invited to play

the ultimate psychological game of deception...

ALVIN: There's nothing juicier than a secret.

..all in the hope

of winning up to $250,000.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

PLAYER: I prefer to be the one tying people up.

Yes!

But concealed amongst them are the Traitors...

(HOOTING)

..who, under the cover of darkness,

will secretly murder

their fellow players.

MAN: Who amongst us hasn't fantasised

about making reality TV stars disappear?

(SCREAMING)

Oh!

It's up to the Faithful to work out

who the Traitors are...

If we don't start going for Traitors,

we will all be gone.

The only one playing a game here, dude, is you.

That is the stupidest move you could ever do.

It's insane.

..and banish them...

If you dig your own hole, you have to be buried in it.

I'm changing my vote, and I'm voting for you.

..before becoming their next victim.

(SOBS)

Because if any Traitors remain hidden

at the end of the game,

they'll take home all the silver.

Think you know who to trust?

Well, think again.

I'm Gretel Killeen, your ringmaster of ruin.

And this is the Traitors.

# What does it take to be a villain? #

(CAWING)

(VOCALISING)

Isn't it pretty here?

It is gorgeous, isn't it?

Not for Housewives,

but I have so many feathers to my bow

and so many tickets on myself.

I negotiated billions and billions of dollars' worth

of property.

I've dealt with Neil Diamond's mother,

I've dealt with Princess Diana,

I've met Madonna, so I'm very used

to dealing with people from all walks of life,

and I think that will come in really handy on Traitors.

My fitness level, I'm, you know...

..I'm... I'll be strong,

but in terms of, like, running, how do you go?

No-one wants to see an older gentleman run.

I'm sure there are many websites

dedicated to people watching old men run.

Old men running. Called Moobs.

Yeah. (ALL LAUGH)

I haven't really played too many deception-based games.

However, I have worked in the music industry

for a long time,

and there's a lot of lying involved in that.

So, do you have a goal in this game?

Just...just want to kill

as many celebrities as possible. Yeah.

Put my arm around them, bring them into the fold

or push them over the cliff.

OK, so I recognise you two.

Love Island, Survivor.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm another one. Oh, you were!

Yeah. You have a twin brother.

Yeah. Yes.

Is he here? I don't know.

Ooh! 100%.

I've done all my reality TV shows with my brother Josh.

No, I can't - my brother is somewhere.

Oh!

I knew it! I knew!

What's your brother's name? Luke.

Luke.

These two will be able to, like, telepathically do things.

I'm not good at hiding things. (CHUCKLES)

I am very nervous

because we can't hide that we're twins,

so we're just going to have to use it,

and try and make it our advantage.

No secrets, no lying, no nothing.

Already a true Faithful. Yeah.

That's good.

I love seeing cows that aren't just decorative.

Right.

My biggest strength in this game

is I'm really good at pretending to be stupid.

Also, delicious. Right.

Oh, OK, well, we know who's the murderer here.

I'm going to win this game,

and no-one's going to see it coming.

I'm Cam. Cam Merchant.

You might know me from Married At First Sight.

Yes! Oh, my God.

Are you still married? Still married.

Yes!

Still married, and two beautiful little boys.

Wow. So beautiful.

The public's perception of me might be nice guy, dad.

Does that help me here, on Traitors?

Maybe it just might.

The only shows I'm used to is just getting pissed, so, like...

Right. "Have these drinks.

"Get me up, judge!"

I'm gonna bring the party, bring the vibe.

These looks, these charms will make people trust me.

I know it's not a love game, but I'm gonna make it one.

My biggest weakness is definitely

I talk way too much. Yeah, yeah.

That's a strength, probably, in this game, though.

You'd think so, until, like, I'm like,

"I'm actually the Traitor."

And I'll be like, "Oopsie daisy."

I like to think that I have a very good social game.

I have played Survivor Australia twice.

What do you guys do on the day-to-days?

I do some AFLW commentary,

and I have a renewable energy company.

Oh, wow. What?

As a woman, as an Aboriginal person,

I'm always growing and adapting to everything around me,

so I think I have what it takes.

(CAWING)

It all changes now.

I'm waiting for the scary men to pop out.

Why? (LAUGHS) When the murder happens.

So scared, dude.

"Beware of the dog"? I'm not here yet.

It's really quite spooky-looking.

I'm feeling this is real now.

KRISSY: I'm starting to sweat like a Greek nana. (CHUCKLES)

It's the nerves.

Wow, look at it!

Oh, my gosh.

It is giving Bachelor, I will say.

So you feel back at home? Yeah.

I feel like I've, like, transported

into, like, a fairytale.

Alright.

Oh, that's amazing.

Check it out.

Oh! (BOTH LAUGH)

Already started - sabotage!

Playing your dirty tricks already, Gamble.

Yeah, I see what you're doing.

IAN: So we all climb out of the car.

I immediately spotted Cosima de Vito

from being a judge on season one of Australian Idol.

Hello, darling. Oh, my God.

Oh, wow! How are you?

So, I was absolutely thrilled

to see her and give her a big hug.

Oh, I live in Sydney. You're kidding!

I'm married, and I have a little girl.

She's seven. Oh, my God!

OK, I've got someone...

I've got someone here that I can rely on.

Oh, my God. That's it. You're my dad.

(LAUGHTER)

Wowzers!

SHANE GOULD: First arriving,

and I'm having fun watching all these other people

in their high heels and their fancy clothes.

They kind of didn't notice me.

But when I played Australian Survivor,

I was able to go unseen, like, a lot of older women are.

And I won it.

(CHUCKLES) I won the damn game.

Hi, how are you? I'm Kween. KRISSY: Kween!

Nice to meet you.

Oh, that'll be easy to remember - the queen.

Absolutely. (CHUCKLES) Perfect.

Walking in today, out of drag,

Tom is very understated than Kween is.

Obviously, she's a 6ft 5 warrior queen...

(CHUCKLES) ..in every facet of the sense.

I think lots of people kind of find that intimidating.

Heaps of drag as well. IAN: Did you?

RHYS: Oh, yeah, are you gonna...

So, sometimes, you're going to turn up as...

Yeah. It was just this morning, when they said 7:30,

I went, "No, no, no." (LAUGHS)

Very hard to miss her,

and I kind of wanted to blend in a little bit,

just for the first day.

Does everyone know who everyone is? Probably not.

No. No, not at all.

Some people.

Well, there's Rob Farnham over there, John Farnham's son.

How are you going? Hey, man.

Love the jacket, man. Cam.

My name's Rob. How you going? Lovely to see you, Rob.

Good to see you. How are you going?

Being in a famous family, you know, there's obviously

certain things I can't say publicly.

KEIRA: What show were you on? I'm just a musician, actor.

Oh, yeah. Cool.

Not 'just'. Not 'just'.

So, I'm quite well versed

at holding my cards close to the vest.

I've got a little bit of a plan,

but it'll definitely go out the window.

It's a full-on social experiment.

I'm looking forward to watching people implode,

put it that way.

Hi, Cam. Hi, hon. How are you?

I'm so glad you're here.

You're such a lovely person. Thanks, mate.

There's a difference in generations.

Hello, there. Oh, my God!

There's some people who've seen it all.

And then, there's some youngsters

that are coming through.

You're more handsome, though. You're better looking.

No. Come on, bro, don't! (BOTH LAUGH)

So, there's a big mixture.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Oh, my God.

Oh, great, there's a coffin.

Stay close.

I've heard coffins are pretty nice to sleep in, apparently.

Who is in there?

It was creepy.

As soon as that coffin comes out,

I had to protect myself.

Is this some kind of Gothic beautician.

(LAUGHTER)

RHYS: It's very Eyes Wide Shut.

I was stressed out because I didn't know the password.

ALVIN: Oh, my God. They're gonna stand it up.

All I'm thinking is, like, "There's a vampire

"that's gonna come out of the coffin.

KEIRA: What is even happening right now?

Do I have to go into the coffin? I don't know.

(EXCLAIMING, LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

ALEX: Gretel is an Australian icon.

ALVIN: That is brilliant!

Thank you, ladies.

She comes out of that coffin,

and I'm just like, "OK, we're on here."

She is perfect,

and she looks spectacular.

Oh, bonjour, bonjour, Bonjour. (LAUGHTER)

Welcome to Claremont Manor.

But first, a little about me.

Well, I'm 32...

..an Aquarian, and I'm single.

(LAUGHTER)

But I have been married,

11 times in total.

And interestingly, I've never been married

to more than one person at the same time.

And I've never been divorced. (LAUGHTER)

One by one, they all just disappeared.

So, as you have been gallivanting

around the world

on every social media platform in existence,

I have been looking for love...

..and playmates.

I thought I'd easily be the campest thing in this show.

Nah.

Gretel Killeen went, "Hold my earrings."

So, are you ready to play my game?

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

It's one in which you could win

up to $250,000.

(WHISTLES)

I don't care who you are, where you've been, what you do,

a quarter of a million dollars, that is life-changing money.

Or you could die.

(LAUGHTER)

Now, I will give you one tip.

The person you are on the outside

might not work in here.

So, I give you my full permission

to be as naughty as you want to be.

Before you enter the manor,

I have a challenge for you.

I want you to make a decision...

..to choose the most virtuous.

What does virtuous mean? (CHUCKLES)

I'm hoping you know what the word virtuous means.

(MUTTERING) I do.

All I know is, at this point, I don't want to be involved,

and I don't want to be chosen.

In your heart,

are you a good and kind person who lives by high morals?

(LAUGHTER)

People see me as being the original villain

of The Bachelor, so thank God I'm not

whatever that word means.

Here we go. This is my man, here.

This one. This is the man.

Cam is, like, the nicest guy in the world.

Like, literally would never say a bad word about anyone.

Cam. Cam's our most virtuous.

Cam's the man.

OK, it's me. I'm a pretty nice guy.

I get that.

No. No, we've got to vote.

I think Shane.

Shane, she's royalty. I think Shane.

I think Shane.

Who will be your person? Please, come forward.

She does drowning prevention.

Virtuous, doll. Virtuous.

You've got all our votes.

She's an Olympic swimmer.

She's done so much for the nation.

This is our virtuous.

We go Shane. She's royalty.

Shane Gould is a sly, cute little kitten.

Please come forward.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

They definitely haven't seen her Survivor season

'cause they probably wouldn't have picked her.

Yeah, I don't know about that, guys.

Do we remember that, or no?

Butler. (CLAPS HANDS)

Oh, goodness.

Here, we have a bowl of keys,

which brings back very fond memories,

if I may share that with you.

(CHEERING) I don't play that game.

Shane, your job is to take the bowl

and to give one key each

to your fellow players for each of their rooms.

SHANE: My heart's racing.

What's the plot in this?

Thank you.

As I got fewer and fewer keys,

my heart sank.

I don't have a key.

What, Shane? (GASPING)

There's no key?

OTHERS: Aw!

Are we one key short or one player too many?

OTHERS: Oh, no.

Well, you're the virtuous one.

You have to make the decision.

(GASPING)

CLAUDIA: What?!

Already?

What do you mean there's not enough keys for everyone?

We just got out of the car!

I would say you have two choices.

You either leave, or you take someone else's key.

Whoa. That's tough.

That is tough.

I was just closest with Shane, and I was the one

who pushed her forward.

All I'm thinking is,

"Am I going to be on the chopping block?"

SHANE: Well, this is tough.

Shane? This is...this is mean.

We've all just organised our lives to be here.

(SIGHING)

Just brutal.

But, you know, isn't life full of moral dilemmas like that?

# Wade in the water. #

Shane, I need you to solve this dilemma.

You either leave, or you take someone else's key.

Sorry, guys. I'm going to have to take a key.

I'm standing in the front row. I'm feeling vulnerable.

I want to become, like, this small.

Anyone really doesn't want to be here.

I feel like, if she's going to lock eyes with you,

she's going to be like, "Yoink!"

RHYS: Hey, you wouldn't want me.

It'd be homophobic if you were to kill me early on.

Take one of the housewives.

Are you dressed for running?

(LAUGHTER)

Mountain-climbing, even.

Choose someone.

She kept creeping closer and closer and closer.

I'm sorry, guys.

I was nervous because she kept looking my way.

Oh.

Oh! Oh, no!

No.

RHYS: It's a virtue-on-virtue violence.

Sorry.

But we might...

Shane. (EXHALES HEAVILY)

Cam...

..I'm sorry to say,

so early in the piece,

please leave immediately.

No way.

Have fun, guys. Enjoy.

That is brutal.

What an emotional roller-coaster.

Oh, my God.

CAM: It's been a ride. It's been a pleasure.

There's a little bit of disbelief, to be honest.

I'm not sure why Shane picked me.

She may have been threatened,

and just felt that was the easy way out.

Sorry, sorry. My butt is clenched so tight.

He's so nice.

It gave me chills.

It's so spooky, though.

I just missed it by, like, an inch.

That was a hard decision.

I'm now terrified of you, Shane.

It was a very early reminder

of how cutthroat this show is.

Like that, you can just be gone.

IAN: That was hardcore, wasn't it?

AJ: Yeah, it was rough. I like that.

So, he went from almost being the most virtuous

to the first one on the plane home.

God love him.

So, a quick congratulations to you all.

Go in, have a drink, relax,

and enjoy a happy hour

because it might be your last.

(LAUGHTER) Shucks, bitch.

I've got goose bumps.

ALVIN: That was our first shock.

(LAUGHS) So, I'm a little bit scared.

It's OK. Don't feel bad.

I'm very excited to get started.

Let's see where we go from here. Let's see who can play the game.

Oh, and by the way,

welcome to the Traitors.

Oh, my God.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, wow.

Oh, my God, this place is definitely haunted.

100%. 100%. How do we talk to spirits?

Do you want to play?

To be honest with you,

I just got extremely excited that I'm in this castle.

Everything's old,

and I was just immersing myself

in how fabulous it all was, really.

Nice.

HENRY: The manor is so strange.

Little paintings on the wall and artefacts around the place.

He's an intruder. Ooh.

Oh, yeah. He'll be in on day three.

He could intrude me any day.

Someone died here.

Could have happened. There could be ghosts.

He's in here! Cam? Cam, are you in there?

Hello. Hello.

How are you going, Krissy?

It's a very odd feeling,

being thrown into a manor house in the middle of nowhere,

and trying to get a feeling for each other's energy.

We haven't had a chance to properly catch up.

Yeah, let's talk.

I'm a big empath. So am I.

I'm the biggest bigmouth. Like, I can't stop talking.

So, you're a sociopath? That's cool to know.

Yeah, I think so. Apparently, I am.

IAN: And I think that's the right thing to do.

Because, I think, when the game starts,

at least that gives you something to measure off.

Oh, yeah. Oh, good one, Cos.

I didn't expect that from Shane.

I was shocked.

I was like, "No, there's no way

"you ever take somebody out of the game."

Really? Would you?

Yeah.

You're apparently the most virtuous,

so put your own hand up and go yourself.

I think the disadvantage of being the person

to pick someone first means that people notice you.

Did you see her?

KWEEN: She knew exactly where...

She was like, "Oh, I'm just closing my..."

She knew exactly where she was going.

"I'm closing my..."

They can read you.

They can create an opinion of you.

Guys, what if she hears us? Shh!

She could kill us.

(SCREAMS) Water?

RHYS: Jesus Christ.

KWEEN: It's water. I got so scared.

The bar's not open?

What? Have I done something wrong?

Not you.

It's just that there was someone there.

I'm noticed, and I'm on notice.

RHYS: I also would like the bar to be open.

Oh, girl, she caught us. I couldn't even look at her.

We haven't even selected Faithfuls or Traitors yet,

but I feel like, Mama Shane, she needs to go first,

otherwise she's going to kill all of us.

How are you feeling about everything?

I feel good. Yeah?

Yeah, calm. You know, I'm excited.

Um...

The only person that I have

funny feelings about is Keira.

Yes. And her and I came to blows.

OK.

But, you know, it's been ten years.

Who knows? Yeah.

What about you? Um, I'm more worried

about what people...

..how people perceive, like, Survivor play.

Yeah.

There are four Survivor players.

Henry, Shane, who won Survivor,

and AJ, who played the season after mine.

And with that deceit, manipulation, lies,

um, people are sort of fearing us.

I think all of us that aren't Survivor players,

we look at you guys as, like, being these

incredible, like, strategists.

My plan is to just connect

with nearly everyone.

And I don't like little people being picked on,

so I, uh... Same.

Oh, my God, we're very similar. I draw the line there.

I'm building these relationships and connections

so that people feel really loyal to me.

What are your thoughts

on looking out for each other, initially?

I like that. You OK with that.

Yeah. Yeah.

I love the villainous style of game,

and I can see it's going to hurt people.

But I did sign up to play.

I just can't wait to get going with this game.

I need some help there. Yeah.

And we're not even... We've not even been selected yet.

I know!

(KNOCKING)

Hi again. Well, come on in.

Mmm.

The Merry Widow.

Welcome.

21 of reality television's finest

have entered my manor.

How would you describe yourself?

Fiery Italian.

OK.

It only really comes out if it needs to.

Empathetic.

Fabulous.

A happy cat. It's a blessing and a curse, Grets.

You have an identical twin? BOTH: Yes.

Do you think it's a strength that you have someone

that looks like you? No.

I think we're vulnerable.

OK.

I'm a Scorpio. OK.

Sexiest star sign in the zodiac.

Well, an Aquarian would disagree.

Aquarians aren't sexy.

Oh, well, hello.

I'd say I'm an introvert.

That could potentially have been a bit of a downfall

because it is a highly social game.

How would I describe myself?

I think that's a layered question.

Obviously, I'm a crossdresser. (LAUGHS)

So, that's a big part of my personality.

I'm loyal, and I am not somebody that can half-arse.

I have to use my full arse, you know.

You use your full arse?

Every time. (LAUGHS) Alright.

I hope that's written on your CV.

(LAUGHS) OK.

If they make it to the end,

they could win up to 250,000 in silver.

CLAUDIA: I wouldn't even know where to start to spend it.

I'm gonna be honest.

Would you describe it as really life-changing for you?

Yeah, yeah. That kind of money, yeah.

My dad had to bring...

..yeah, all of us up on his own

and care for my mum,

who had early-onset dementia.

So, money has just always been a bit of a tough go.

Well, that is a beautiful answer.

Thanks.

But this murderous game

doesn't really start until I select my Traitors.

# Played with fire

# Fire'll burn out

# Someone's got to play... #

Players, welcome to the Round Table.

# And there's no getting out. #

Players, welcome to the Round Table.

Here,

at this moment in time...

..you sit amongst equals.

But that...

..is all about to change.

Right here and now,

some of you will be chosen to live a double life

as the Traitors.

Which one would you like to be?

A Faithful or a Traitor?

A Traitor. Now, why is that?

I like to think

that I have an open face that people can trust.

So, in your life, you've found

that people just are drawn to you.

Yes. Randoms. In bus stops.

IAN: Sitting around with a few semi-famous Herberts,

deciding who to kill would be fantastic.

Seeing the whole game,

and being able to manipulate and move people.

KWEEN: I think I could be the queen of the Traitors.

The Traitors will soon sit amongst you.

They'll smile in your direction.

If you're a Traitor, you get to murder.

And is that not everyone's dream?

You've got no moral qualms. No!

Unless... Wait, do they actually get murdered?

Yeah, they do.

Look around.

This is your last chance to assess one another

before your eyesight is tinged

by the lens of suspicion.

Basically, I don't know if I'll be able to hide it.

That's what I'm worried about.

Whereas I know I could be, like, the world's best Faithful.

(LAUGHS) Big call.

I have faith in myself. Pun intended.

After this moment...

..Traitor or Faithful?

ALEX: I came to challenge myself.

I came to play a game.

I want to be a Traitor.

Blindfolds on.

If you feel a touch on your shoulder,

it means you've been selected as a Traitor.

I feel like the pure energy of anticipation...

..was just intense.

CLAUDIA: I mean, I think you could hear a feather

touch the ground in that room. It is so silent.

HENRY: Listening to Gretel go step by step,

around and around...

..it was the scariest thing

I've ever done, just sitting there.

I'm now a Traitor in this game.

And my smile makes a sound.

So, I was trying to contain that,

but I was just giddy.

This is going to be fun.

TULLY: I'm so anxious. I'm overwhelmed.

I am shitting my pants.

ALVIN: Shit.

Now the game is on.

I was trying not to react.

Every cell in my body was just jumping out of my skin.

I'm just bloody over the moon.

HENRY: I came in with a plan to be a Traitor.

I'd be a brilliant Traitor.

ALEX: I am a Traitor.

It's so good.

I have a fire in my belly

because I got exactly what I wanted.

The game has begun.

I have now selected my Traitors.

You may now remove your masks.

ALVIN: I take the blindfolds off and I could see Dicko,

just staring right at me, and I'm like, "Does he know?

"Does he know? Act cool, Alvin.

"Act cool. Just stay calm. Just stay calm.

"Just stay calm."

Traitors,

tonight, your identities will be revealed

to one another under the cover of darkness.

As for the rest of you, observe, interrogate,

accuse.

We'll reconvene shortly

for your first mission.

Adieu.

RHYS: It's begun. Like, it's happening now.

It went from a work function to a competition in an instant.

I never want to go through that ever again.

That was fun. (BOTH LAUGH)

It's really...

I can already tell who they are.

Keira, you're... "You, you, you."

I already know, it's so obvious.

ROB: I don't want to breathe wrong.

I don't want to seem too overly excitable.

MANAAKI: I'm, like, sitting there, like,

"Should I be serious?"

But then I'm like, "If I act too serious,

"people are gonna think, 'He's not like that.'"

How can I not look guilty

when I'm not guilty? (CHUCKLES)

Look how red... Yeah?

..Luke got.

Yeah. What's that?

Very red. You're hot. Really hot.

Oh.

RHYS: He was bright red, and he looked panicked.

And I think that's got to be evidence, right?

It's pure biology.

Yeah, it's freezing in here, and he's taking off his jacket.

That's a pretty good spot.

JOSH: I could see my brother.

Obviously, he went quite red and, straightaway,

I think that was just the pressure

of, potentially, him being selected as a Traitor.

Let's go for a drink. Let's have a drink.

I don't trust none of you!

(LAUGHTER)

JOSH: If push came to shove,

if I had to chuck Luke under the bus,

if there's too much pressure on him...

Like, you guys go red. I'm like, "Oh!"

Really bad, man, really bad.

..I will push him under the bus.

Oh! The fire's going.

Hello! We meet again.

You know, when you wish something so badly...

Oh, it's warm. It's warm. Oh, look.

..and it actually does come true?

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Now that I'm a Traitor, the details matter.

That's yours.

Thanks. Oh, you gave me a nice little floater.

Oh, shit, is there?

No, that's fine.

It's about the subtlety.

It's about the nuances that you really have to pick.

Maybe it's just me. No, that's just bubbles.

That's just bubbles.

And I just have to switch it up a gear.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, there's no fire in here.

Can't deny I was a little disappointed not

to get chosen as a Traitor.

The object, just to stay alive

for the next few days. Yeah.

But move on, and then set about plan B.

I know you, love you, trust you.

As do I. I think we need to find two,

maybe three more people to join our gang.

Rob Farnham is one of the few people I know.

I've known that boy since he was a teenager,

worked with his dad quite a bit.

I think he will be loyal.

And I'm going to try and recruit darling Cosima on board,

who I'd met on Australian Idol.

That was huge.

Shannon Noll and Guy Sebastian. Yeah, and me.

I don't think this is about finding Traitors.

I think this is about keeping the group alive.

Yeah.

Because the fact is, you can't keep yourself

from being killed by a Traitor.

But you can keep yourself

from being banished by the group.

We're calling the gang LSD. LSD?

Loyalty Secrecy Discipline.

And it's a trip.

No point hunting for Traitors,

because I don't think we've got enough clues yet.

You left me hanging. OK.

How do you eat an elephant?

And the answer is one mouthful at a time.

KRISSY: We need to really stoke this up.

All over it.

AJ: A little bit nervous.

It feels like survivor players

have a bit of a target on their back.

Like, people don't want to be the first out.

People don't want to be the first banished.

So, hey, why not target a group, AKA Survivor players?

Coming back into the house after being selected

as a Traitor, and hearing AJ,

he wants to look out for each other.

I love that.

If we figure out who a Traitor is,

let's pretend that we don't know.

Yes.

Being with other Survivor players,

we are observant.

We can see things that not many players can.

I'm going to tell you everything.

Same. Same.

I just need someone to give everything.

My inner thoughts, everything.

And I will leverage that in AJ, and I'll do the same with Henry.

That's the perfect position to be in.

I felt like, you know when you go

through airport security, when, like, I feel guilty,

even though nothing's actually happened.

ALEX: Yes.

Outside of this place, I am a really loving,

caring, honest,

empathetic person.

These, no.

(LAUGHS)

All the treats are in here.

So, knowing that I'm a Traitor...

There we go.

..being able to be bad,

wear a different hat,

that's really exciting.

Um, we really didn't see eye to eye

on my season of The Bachelor.

Like, she came after me a lot.

Ooh. (LAUGHS) The sound effects.

Coming into this with Keira,

I feel like I already had a target on my back with her,

whether I was a Traitor or not.

The sooner I can get her out of here, the better.

(BLEEP)

But they do say, keep your friends close,

but your enemies closer. Yeah.

So, I'm watching her, for sure.

Who are we talking about?

(LAUGHTER) Keira.

Relieved. Yeah?

Same.

I was so nervous in there.

The game has begun.

I've straightaway decided to stay away from my brother.

I don't want us to be close to each other.

I think that's going to be seen as a threat.

People will sooner or later get suspicious of one of us.

That's twin. That twin is bright red.

KIRBY: Yeah, I saw him. Yeah.

Red. Red. Red as his hair.

I swear to God. You saw him?

Everyone had a pretty good poker faces.

Yeah, it was crazy.

Like pretty red.

I'm gonna hold a swatch up and get a dye. I quite like it.

It's a nice tone.

I'm gonna go for a walk. Yeah, go for it, man. Sorry?

Maybe he's born with it. Maybe he's a Traitor.

We're all on the same page.

Yeah. Yeah.

This is the weird thing about right now -

there's not really anything you can do yet.

Like, as in, we have these feelings,

but I think it is, like, silly to go in there and be like...

I'll let you talk.

You're pretty rad. KWEEN: Yeah, totally.

Like... Totally.

..it puts you on the chopping block early on.

My illogical suspicion

that I cannot put my finger on why I think this,

but there is something going on with Kirby.

We need to mingle. OTHERS: Yeah.

Kirby just seemed activated.

I can feel it in my waters.

There's something going on there.

Oh, actually, where's the...? I have to say...

Can I...can I hold you two?

Rhys?

Rhys, come.

I swear I heard them tap Kirby.

I heard her jacket. Oh!

I heard it. I literally... And she asked me, she said,

"Did you hear something?" I was like, "No."

I swear I heard the...

Just saying.

I'm a drag queen, girl, I know fabrics.

I know the sound of a vinyl crunching.

And it was right by my left eardrum,

and I've got supersonic hearing.

So, I'm going to be keeping a very close eye.

GRETEL: I have selected my three Traitors.

A little later, they will meet each other in secret.

But first, Traitor and Faithful alike will need

to work together for the first of my daily missions

to add money to the final prize pot.

By the end, they could earn as much

as $250,000.

And if a single Traitor remains,

they will take it all.

(BARKING)

When these people arrive,

I don't want you to jump on them.

We're not in the savanna now. (GROWLING)

Here they come.

ALEX: Oh, no, there's a tombstone.

I'm actually really excited, heading into the first mission.

(GASPS)

I am a bit of a competitive beast.

(DOG GROWLS)

ALVIN: That's a dog!

I love missions.

It's the only opportunity that Traitors

and Faithfuls alike get to work together as a team,

united with the same goal -

get us the money.

Oh, good, you've all arrived.

These are my lions,

Prince and Cher.

They've unfortunately been rummaging in the garden.

They've dug up one of my ex-husbands.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm assuming it's number eight, Herve.

TULLY: One of Gretel's many, many dead exes.

Everyone she talks about ends up dead,

which is concerning.

For religious and parole purposes,

I do need the body put back together,

and there are four bones still missing.

On this map, you'll find four of Prince and Cher's

favourite hiding spots.

A dog kennel.

Shrine.

Witch den.

And graveyard.

In teams, you must each travel to one

of these locations

and retrieve the bone hidden there.

If you're lucky,

you might even find one of my Shields.

Find one,

and it will protect you from certain murder tonight.

RHYS: I do want a Shield.

Because if I was a Traitor,

I'd just be killing the people that seem annoying.

I know what my voice sounds like,

so I feel unsafe.

So, what I need you to do

is divide into four groups

of roughly the same size.

Six... Er, five.

Yeah, five, five, five, five, five. Here, come.

COSIMA: I'm excited about the mission today

because I think we get to see people's personalities.

Yeah, we've got five. KIRBY: Five, five, five.

OK.

COSIMA: In moments of stress,

that's when people's true nature comes out.

Now, in exchange for every correct bone you return,

I will gift you $2,500

for your prize pot.

We need to start building that pot.

The more money, the better.

You have just 30 minutes to find

the bones and return them to me.

Oh, and I'll add an extra $5,000

if you all make it back

before time runs out.

And your time starts now.

Rhys, you go to the map. Sure.

To start the mission, we had to send somebody

to the map, to read the map

and tell us as a group where to go.

Yell out, Rhys. I can't see, there's people!

LUKE: I'll take this one over here.

IAN: OK.

I'm looking at the map,

and I've seen where the witch-hunt is.

It's just at the back of the house.

So, for me, it looks like the easiest place to find.

KRISSY: OK, OK. We're here.

The missions, for me,

are probably the most important thing.

Down the driveway.

'Cause that's when I get to prove to my family

that I'm not any wussy.

I can go out, and I can really nail things.

Dog kennel.

RHYS: Um...sh...

TULLY: Wait, where's the witch again?

This way, guys.

Graveyard - is it...? That's, like, there, right?

I can't help you, Rhys. I know!

We have faith in you, Rhys. We got this.

Can we swap? MANAAKI: You go, you go, you go.

I go straight to the map. I'm like, "I got this."

I reckon it's down there.

"We go this way." Boom! Out we go.

That is so far away. Let's just cut down here.

OK, they've got no idea.

We're a little bit excited. So, do, like, a...

Do a nana run.

One thing I noticed about myself,

I wasn't as calm and collected

as I should have been.

Bones for Africa! (LAUGHTER)

I was running around like a chook with his head cut off.

COSIMA: Kennel? Kennel?

JOSH: It was a femur. It was an arm.

ALEX: Pelvis. There was a pelvis.

Right pelvis. Hang on.

That's a pelvis.

AJ: Can we get into this?

Uh...

I am a team player, through and through,

but I'll be looking for Shields.

Hang on...

Because we want to be keeping the Shields from them.

Shit.

Oh, you're a genius. What's that?

COSIMA: Yes! What's that? What's that?

I see the Shield just sitting there in all its glory.

Darn!

Oh! Sweet. Well done.

I can have, like, a sigh of relief,

big breath out, knowing that I'm safe from murder.

OK, pelvis.

CLAUDIA: Witch den! LAWSON: Go, go, go, go!

OK, you guys know what you're looking for?

TULLY: A bone. Yeah, but you know what bone?

(GRUNTS)

OK, look for a jaw, an arm, a hip.

Lukey seems very well versed in this kind of a challenge.

It's got to match.

Oh, my God, I'm gonna start levitating.

And if you want to lead, lead - we'll follow.

That was wet! I don't know what that was.

RACHAEL: Wait, there's a jaw in here!

Yeah? Yeah, there's a jaw.

Get out!

I saw a bone floating in the slime,

and I was like, "Oh, a jaw. Perfect."

And there was something else in there.

LAWSON: Oh, my God.

And I'm holding a Shield...

..and I'm like... "Me?!"

Alright, guys, I got the Shield.

Yeah, yeah, she got the Shield? Good job, mate.

Yeah, she did!

I blew it getting the Shield.

Do I regret it? No.

I'm a nice guy.

Yeah, can you guys keep it a secret? Is that OK?

Will I regret it? I hope not.

That jaw better fit.

KRISSY: It's right here.

Guys, it's right here.

It is already here.

Oh, what's this?

What's this? Oh!

That looks like it.

Not...not big enough. Yeah, I agree,

it's not big enough.

There's a lot of chaos in our group.

What about the one that looks like a penis?

(LAUGHTER)

They are yelling, they're screaming.

KEIRA: Get up, get up, get up!

ROB: You can't lift me up!

Running around and jumping on my back.

Are you ready? Argh!

Oh, f... (BLEEP)

People were kind of distracted, so I just saw the board.

It looked like this colour, didn't it?

It was white. It was white.

No, it was white, but maybe the click-in one isn't.

Oh, shoot.

I didn't go out of my way

to find a Shield.

Oh, Jesus.

But it was an ego boost straightaway.

What about this one up here? This big one?

SHANE: Oh, that's it.

(SHRIEKS INDISTINCTLY)

Eventually found the femur,

up in the tree.

Use the other tools. Just twist around it.

ROB: Here we go, you got it. Stop! OK.

KEIRA: Let's go! Let's go, let's go!

ROB: Let's go! GAMBLE: Let's go!

(KEIRA SCREAMS)

ROB: Holy moly. We haven't found a Shield.

No, there wasn't one that I could see.

I make a decision to keep the Shield to myself

because it was about self-preservation.

I'm not here to make friends with the other contestants.

I'm here to do a job.

At least I'm not going to get voted off first night.

# Trust is a cruel friend. #

ALVIN: So, we have our first mission.

MANAAKI: So, what are we looking for?

HENRY: Uh, a bone.

And we have to find bones around the manor...

Sorry. No disrespect.

..to match up with a skeleton...

..that's been dug out from a gravesite.

GRETEL: Here they come.

RACHAEL: Having a Shield,

it was honestly the best moment ever.

Can wake up tomorrow and be down at breakfast

without a worry is the best feeling.

They're racing down the hill.

CLAUDIA: We're running towards the skeleton in the coffin

and praying that this bone

connects to the skeleton.

If it doesn't fit, of course, you have to go back

and find the right one.

Will it fit?

Yes! You have the correct bone.

And what do you know? It does.

Woo! Woo!

I think we all worked very well as a team,

and I'm happy for Rachael to have the Shield.

I think it will bring a little bit of heat onto her

in the next few days.

Alright, I can see another team coming in.

KEIRA: Quick.

No-one in this team is appropriately dressed.

The bone is bigger than all of them. Will it fit?

Good news.

You have the correct bone.

(ALL CHEER) Yes! Good job!

Go, the granny running! Go, team! Go, team!

Go, the granny running!

You guys killed it! Absolutely killed it.

Did you guys not get a Shield?

We tried to.

Ooh, hello.

When I grab the Shield,

I make a decision in that moment to keep it to myself.

Yeah, we found all of them. SHANE: Did you really?

Yeah, to all different locations. We ran around.

You liar. (LAUGHTER)

But I'm terrible at keeping a secret.

I've got the Shield. Do you really?

Yes.

KRISSY: I can't... (BLEEP) ..believe it.

I'm sorry. KEIRA: Don't tell anyone.

I was just trying to find my feet

in the whole element of what the game is,

and I feel like that gave me a little bit of trust.

GAMBLE: I think Rob is a beautiful guy.

But then, I became really suspicious.

Alright, we have two teams.

Each of them has found the correct bone...

..but we only have 15 minutes left.

So, there are two more teams to come

and half the time has gone.

COSIMA: We chose to go to the dog kennel.

Josh found the Shield in the dog food.

(JOSH GRUNTS)

OK.

So, we found this bone in the cage,

and we're trying to get the bone out.

ALEX: Why is that little hole there?

That's a good point. It could be...

Yeah. Get it closer. Knock it out, knock it out.

Is there a way to squeeze it?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, link it through.

Hold on, hold on. Give me a stick.

Josh decided to get the two sticks,

lift up the bone.

Ready? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yes, guys! Yes. OK, but will it go through.

Will it go through?

(ALL CHEER)

AJ: What a team! Guys!

Genius.

Do you reckon it's this?

HENRY: It should connect to it. ALVIN: That looks like a...

I reckon this might be it. It's the right colour.

Feeling triumphant.

We've found our bone.

Now we need to find a Shield.

Where would a Shield be?

IAN: Oh, we got time. We're alright. We're OK.

Alright. We can see the bone. Does it fit?

JOSH: Yeah, that's fits. (OTHERS CHEER)

Well done. Well done, team.

Alright, that is another $2,500

in the prize pot.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) But we are running low on time.

We have five minutes.

Coo-eee! Come on, team!

How lost could the other ones be?

Come on, guys, five minutes!

KIRBY: Five minutes.

I can't find an idol to save myself, so...

HENRY: It should be like a symbol.

Should be like a Traitors symbol.

So, we're all there digging for a Shield,

and I've digged in, like, all of the little graves,

and I can't find it.

If no-one finds one, we've got to say we found one,

so the Traitors are just so confused.

MANAAKI: Yes. Right?

RHYS: Good idea. So even if we don't have one...

You're a real psycho. I like that.

We almost don't even need to look.

Let's go. Let's go, let's go.

Are we going up? Yeah.

How can we all make sure that we feel safe tonight.

We found it.

Let's all pretend that we did find one.

And let's not tell anyone.

OK, have you returned triumphant?

Maybe here. It could be a humorous.

Yes, you have the correct bone.

Congratulations.

You have found the four missing bones.

I'm so pleased.

$2,500 for each of the teams.

And a 5K bonus for all making it back in time.

That's a lot of money in the pot.

ALEX: Having the money added to the prize pot is phenomenal

because that's why we're here.

Let's catch up a little bit later.

I have to run to the shops for Prince and Cher.

As you know, I'm meeting with the Traitors tonight.

And until a murder takes place,

I don't have any meat to feed them.

Those with Shields, by the way, sleep safe.

I'll see the rest of you...

..most of you, at breakfast tomorrow.

(WHOOPING)

IAN: Thank you.

I'm upset that I didn't get a Shield.

Who got it?

GAMBLE: Uh, keep your mouth shut about that.

OK, so John Farnham's son got the Shield.

He ended up telling me that he got the Shield.

So, then, obviously, walking back,

we came to a group decision,

I don't know if anyone heard us, but that we weren't

going to tell anyone

because if one of us has a Shield,

let's just keep it hush, right?

Let's not say anything.

Because that way, the Traitors aren't gonna know who has it.

# You are, I am

# I know what to do... #

Hey, babe. Hey, how are you?

I'm good.

No, no, no, we did get a Shield. We were lying.

I'm one of those people,

where you can't say one thing and then say something else.

And if you do, I'm going to call you out.

I don't know. We decided...

I'm calling Cat.

I'm just innocently standing there.

And then, Manaaki is acting so messy,

and, like, accusational and, like, just making

a big deal out of nothing.

Why are you so interested to know?

Because it just, like, points out a liar.

No, but... What are you trying to do?

Like, bring me to the table?

"She lied." No, You did.

It's just making Keira look more guilty

that she's having a go at me.

But then, why would you lie? Why are you asking?

Why are you asking?

Because I heard you say that you didn't.

But why do you want to know? Because then, you're saying

that you are now. But why do you want to know?

'Cause I'm, like...

I'm just saying how it is. You're too...you're too pure.

It's a game. Oh, no. I know it is.

Yeah.

I'm disappointed because, Manaaki,

if you'd just, you know, pipe down,

I would have had your back.

But now, you know, you're an enemy or a Traitor.

Either way, you got to go.

# Come and pick your poison... #

ALL: Cheers!

Some Real Housewiving going on.

ALL: Cheers!

Cheers to having each other's back as girls.

COSIMA: How much fun was that?

That was really fun.

Are you schmoozing, everyone? I'm trying.

I wish I was a Traitor,

but I'm gonna have to win the old-fashioned way,

and that's sucking up to a bunch of murderers.

How big are those arms?

Yeah. (LAUGHS) That's your line.

It is, can I keep it? And I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hopefully, we're here for tomorrow.

But if I was a Traitor,

I wouldn't have killed you,

for that line alone.

(BOTH LAUGH) I'm safe.

Don't make any enemies, and don't make any accusations

because someone's on the chopping block tonight.

Have you got a read on anyone?

No, it's too early.

Observations? I've definitely been noticing

the difference between The Bachelor,

Love Island...

What's that? This is gin and tonic.

Gin drinker. Skinny girl drink.

And bitchiness and shade of the two OG's

from the Housewives. (LAUGHS)

My daughter's like, "When the aliens come

"and get you, they're going to get you first, Mum,

"'cause you're such a bitch."

You know, they're the closest things that I'm going to have

to drag queens in this competition.

My husband thinks I'm a dragon.

Yeah!

'Cause I breathe fire on him all the time. No.

In comparison to the conversations

that I've been having with the Survivor contestants,

the Survivor ones are the ones to watch

because they've played this kind of a game before.

Wait, were you on Survivor?

Yeah, but let's not look into that. (LAUGHS)

Kirby's definitely a Traitor.

But then, the other one

that I'm kind of suspicious about is little Lukey.

I think, definitely, one of the twins was bright red.

Yeah, I know, but he said, when he has stuff on his face,

he reacts like that. Yeah.

I think we're all lambs to the slaughter right now.

Oh, my God. Just got to stay alive.

Got to see what happens tomorrow, for sure.

Oh, my gosh.

(CLOCK CHIMES)

Alright, I'm going to bed.

See you, mate. Bye.

Absolutely.

GRETEL: As the clock strikes midnight,

the Faithful must retire to their bedrooms...

I'm turning in. Night, mate.

After you.

..where they cannot see...

See you tomorrow. Hopefully.

Pray for me.

..or speak to anyone.

TULLY: I'm sorry, I don't want to die.

(LAUGHS) Let's... Please, let's not.

But there is no rest for the wicked.

Because my chosen three must decide

if they dare to continue my game as Traitors.

# To be hunted. #

(CLOCK CHIMES)

Kirby.

Alex.

Alvin.

You must now take the Traitors' oath.

Do you promise to lie and deceive throughout the game?

Yes.

Do you vow to keep your identity

and the identity of your fellow Traitors a secret?

I do.

And are you willing to murder a fellow player every night?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Welcome, Traitor.

Thank you.

Go forth to the conclave.

Thank you.

And meet your fellow conspirators.

I've been dying for this moment.

# Master manipulator

# Pulling the strings of danger

# Let the games begin

# Let the games begin

# Am I a rival or friend?

So, welcome to my boudoir.

You may remember me from such cooking shows,

like MasterChef Australia.

But tonight, we're doing something different.

How do we feel

about going around and randomly killing people?

People that you might not like,

people that you think, "Jesus, stop being a diva,"

or, really, people that you think, "Meh."

This part, being in the conclave,

the murder, is actually insane.

I am so excited to meet the other Traitors.

I'm so curious as to who they are.

I'm not some mastermind strategist.

My brain just does not work like that.

I'm people and social and emotion.

So, hopefully,

the other Traitors can cover that part of the game.

No! No way! (LAUGHS)

Literally high-fiving each other,

like naughty, naughty school kids,

thinking, "He-he-he!"

I did say you.

You did not! I did.

To who? To me.

OK. Not to anyone else.

That man is a sweet,

unsuspecting guy.

I just cackled because, like, look at him.

Look at his little glasses.

Oh, my lordy.

Were you expecting me? No.

No, I guessed two others. OK.

One's Dicko. Yeah.

And then, the other one's Krissy.

Yes.

I thought Kirby.

Oh, fun fact, you're not the only one.

Mmm.

So, I guess, let the games begin.

I know. (KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh!

Oh, my God, this is the best.

This is the best!

We literally looked at each other

after the Round Table and said, "Nah, not me."

Played it well then.

Oh, my...

We've got the boss girl, Survivor player,

and then...

..The Bachelor winner.

I feel like we'll be a force to be reckoned with.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Oh, God, not another.

Oh, my God! (LAUGHS)

We can deal with you. Yes.

Can you?

Good evening, my Traitors.

I'm so pleased it's you three.

TRAITORS: So are we.

Your task at the moment is really simple.

You have a murder to plot.

The name will be written on here.

The first murder for you three to commit.

Mmm. Oh, be still, my heart.

Merry plotting. Yes.

The merriest of plotting.

So how do we handle this?

# O, Death, O, Death

# Please spare me now

# O, Death, O, Death... #

So, we have to do a murder.

I think this will be a big shift in the dynamic of the game.

Certainly.

The best part about this game and being a Traitor

is the merry little kills that we get to do.

By the way, there's one person that's been saying your name.

Who?

Kween. Kween.

Yeah. What? What the hell?

Kween has been going hard on you tonight.

He thinks he heard your jacket. Yeah.

Kween would be dangerous for you

because he is throwing your name around in a big way.

I thought I was fine,

and they both looked at me and told me I'm almost on fire.

That's how hot Kween is on my back.

Who has Kween been saying stuff to?

There was Henry there. There was AJ there.

OK.

Not only now do I have Kween, who is an absolute boss,

I am a Survivor player.

So, there are two layers to that.

And that's... That's not good for me.

I reckon it'll be too obvious if we'll kill Kween.

I want to throw another hat in the ring.

Yeah? Dicko.

Dicko is like a pack leader.

So, he tries to bring in people with his humour,

and he commands an audience.

He is influential, and there's been a lot

of suspicious talks between him and Rob.

Also not sure of Rob.

He sits back and looks around a lot.

Yeah. He's a dangerous player.

They're powerful together, Dicko and Rob.

That's another reason to split them up.

Mm-hm.

But are they saying our names?

Mmm...

I'm really pushing Kween,

but at the same time,

I need to make sure that they feel like

they're playing their own game,

because I know that Traitors start to turn,

and I don't want to be the one that they turn on.

What influence does Dicko have?

What's the difference with him

and Kween and Keira, for example?

Keira, for me, I feel like is a safe bet to blow herself up.

Yeah.

It would not be wise to murder her tonight

because people have had multiple conversations

about her with me, about our history.

It would be too obvious on me.

I don't know about Kween. Nobody's like...

The Survivor people didn't tell me about Kween.

Oh.

Yeah, that's true. You actually have no idea.

No idea. Mmm.

If somebody's said my name,

but nobody's told me that,

then that's easy.

I can just murder him, and my hands are clean.

The mission.

Four Shields.

Are there four and does Kween have one?

Oh.

I don't know if Kween has one.

I can't be sure

that anyone won the Shield or any team won the Shield.

But it's not just about the kill, per se.

It's about the ripple effect and what happens after the kill.

OK, we need to make a decision.

So, it's between Kween or Dicko.
