Just putting the finishing touches to my favourite game.

OWL RASPS

A touch of poison in the library.

What about these two?

Best friends outside the castle.

How will they fare in here?

But, of course, who is going to play you?

We're ready.

21 celebrities have been invited to play

the ultimate game of deception...

Argh! Oh, no!

..all in the hope of winning up to £100,000

for their chosen charity.

Here we go!

I'm here cos I want to play hard and I want to win.

This is Traitors' apocalypse.

But concealed amongst them are the Traitors,

who under the cover of darkness

will secretly murder their fellow players.

Argh! It's up to the Faithful to work out who the Traitors are,

and banish them before they become their next victim.

I am, at heart, quite a trusting person.

I was born for this.

Anything can happen.

They may be celebrities, but their fame has absolutely no power here.

SCREAMING

This is The Celebrity Traitors.

I have no idea what I'm walking into.

I mean, both literally

and figuratively.

I am a huge fan of this game.

Now it's my turn.

I feel like, as an actor,

I'm already at a bit of a disadvantage

because everyone just sort of thinks,

"Well, they just lie for a living, don't they?"

Which I don't think is necessarily true.

DOOR CREAKS

I was so nervous stepping into that church.

WHISPERING:Hello!

I think people mostly see a glamorous,

like, done-up TV host,

and, actually, I'm not very serious.

I like wind-ups, I like taking the mickey.

Yeah, you all right? I'm going to sit right next to you.

And also I can be a bit of a menace, if I want to be.

This is so weird.

Isn't it weird?

MAYA:Here comes the bride!

JOE LAUGHS

It's just a perfectly normal day, isn't it?

Right, so out the front, it said, "Famous last words."

Famous last words.

MAYA:Hello!

JOE LAUGHS

I think that playing characters,

like I've played for many years,

because I'm always goodies,

could definitely stand me in good stead in the game.

And you stay over there. I know, I do feel a bit isolated!

But I do get a little bit starstruck

and I do get a little bit hungry for friendship

with people that I know off the telly.

So I'm hoping that I can really,

really pull that bit of myself back.

Is there anybody here you don't like?

Yeah. Yeah, same.

Having been on television for 43 years now,

the perception of me is TV tough man.

Dad, is that you?

Got to be respectful, Joe.

This is completely new territory for me.

The feeling is one of fear,

anticipation and also excitement.

How are you?

Really nervous. Yeah, same.

Hello!

Absolute queen.

Hello!

Very graceful.

I've been a Traitor all my life.

I'm the guy who tells everyone that they're beautiful

when they're really... They're not.

Nice to meet you, James. I'm Julie.

JOE:This is so surreal. I know.

For once in my life, I'd like to be a goodie.

I'd like to be a Faithful.

Thank you!

Oh, my God!

Oh! Here he is.

The atmosphere in the church

was very sonorous and respectful.

I so love this game.

I was immediately consumed.

If I'm chosen to be a Traitor,

that would be like winning the jackpot.

That's the whole point of it.

Hello, Richard. Hi.

Nice to meet you. I'm Julie.

Cool, yep. Hi.

You've got pop stars, you've got actors, you've got megastars,

and then, in the back,

a mathematician. Sure.

WHISPERING:This is completely crazy.

There is something about this game that really tickles

the logical puzzle hunter in me.

I mean, ultimately, what could be more up my street?

You OK? Good.

20 years in journalism, my mates

find it absolutely farcical that

I'm this guy that's on the news, kind of asking tough questions.

I'm basically a pretty nice guy,

but I'm also acutely conscious

we're in game mode now.

I've got no game plan whatsoever.

Someone said strategy, I barely know the meaning of the word.

Very thrilled you're here. Likewise.

Richard E Grant was doing some method acting to my left,

being very sort of obedient to being in the House of the Lord,

playing the sort of village parishioner, which was a thrill.

And then I find myself sort of looking around for other people

and going...

What are we doing? What did we sign up for?

I don't know.

Hello, hello, hello, hello!

Everyone always says that I've got an innocent face,

so maybe I could just use that to my advantage.

And I need to avenge Niko.

Went out way too quick.

How are you? Yeah, good.

I didn't even get booked. I was just passing.

I've popped in for a quick pray.

It was quite nerve-racking because I had no idea what was going on.

I don't ever plan to marry, so I walked down the aisle slowly,

with people looking at me.

I enjoyed it.

I'm Joanne, how's it going?

My strategy is performative stupidity.

Sometimes it's real,

but other times, I think

it's a good tactic to be like,

"What's a Traitor?"

You know?

AMOL:Who's not...? Who's not here? Someone... No, we're all here.

Everyone's here.

It says, "RIP VIP."

I'm slightly nervous that one of us is immediately for the chop.

I felt like adrenaline, like nerves.

I can't think of the last time I felt anything, really,

so it wasn't nice.

Already? Like, straight away?

LOUD KNOCKING

I don't like this. I don't like this.

Not a coffin, please not a coffin.

Oh, God! Oh, God, no!

Oh, my gosh!

CHEERING

Lovely work.

Yes! Yes!

Wow! That was quite the nap.

Claudia-Patra.

Welcome to the Traitors' chapel.

Now, it doesn't matter how much of a VIP you are

in your celebrity lives,

in this game you have to avoid ending up in one of those.

Very soon, I will choose my Traitors.

I think, by now, you know what the Traitors like to do.

Killing. Killing.

Correct.

Murder.

You're all in showbusiness.

It is a fickle world,

full of flattery and backstabbing.

And I think you'll agree,

it's very important to know who you can trust.

So, for me, a little exercise.

I would like you to decide right now

who is the most trustworthy amongst you.

Bro! Just got here.

Go!

How do we...? Sharon.

Oh! What? That's a very good... I think you.

I think you.

Julie, you've got an innocent face. Julie.

Julie. Julie, it is you. Julie, it is you. It's Julie.

She stood up and hugged everyone first.

But hang on. Can I just...? We don't know what this means.

Does this mean that Julie goes in the coffin,

and do we want that? ROMESH:Yeah, it's a win-win.

LAUGHTER

Players, tell me, who have you chosen?

Julie. Julie. Oh, no, if... No.

Julie...

Thanks, Joe, for trying.

..please come and join me.

No, no, no, no. No!

What does this mean?

So, Julie, you have been voted the most trustworthy,

but has that trust been misplaced?

Oh, no. We're about to find out.

Julie, I have two very special objects for you.

Not one, but two. GASPING

These, for whoever has them,

shield them from the first murder.

And I definitely know this -

nobody wants to be the first to be killed.

No. Mm. No.

As the most trustworthy player,

you now decide who gets these.

Wow. Oh!

You can keep one and give one to a fellow player,

or you can give them both away.

You hold the fate of your fellow celebrities' lives

in your hands.

CHUCKLING

OK.

What would you like to do?

I'll have one, thank you very much.

What a joy.

I've absolutely no idea why they think I'm so trustworthy,

but fantastic.

The big question - who's getting this?

I am going to give the Shield to the person

who very, very desperately did not want me to end up in the coffin.

Joe Lycett. Joe Lycett, come up here.

Thank you, Julie.

I was in a church with Ross Kemp

and Jerry Hall,

and then Claudia Winkleman climbed out of a coffin

and gave me a Shield.

That's not a normal sentence.

APPLAUSE

So, Julie and Joe, you are both shielded from the first murder.

As for the rest of you, thoughts and prayers.

I will see you at the Round Table very shortly,

when I will choose my Traitors.

APPLAUSE

It's good to be back.

Julie looked like a cardinal with the Shield on.

Thought I was in the Vatican.

How do you guys feel about me having a Shield?

You seem absolutely furious.

Oh, I think, you know, having the loudest voice gets rewarded.

The loudest voice of justice, actually.

Cos if two people have been shielded already...

It means that someone's going to be murdered.

It means someone's going to be murdered straight off.

I want to wear all my fabulous outfits at least!

I know. Well, look, if you go early, I'll wear your outfits.

OK, darling, thank you.

I think people often underestimate me,

but all the men in my family

were law enforcement officers

and my uncle was a Texas Ranger.

He caught Bonnie and Clyde.

Beneath this dumb blonde lies a smart brunette.

Sharon, have you got a game plan? No!

No? Any ideas?

I feel like a competition winner, just meeting everybody that

I like watching on the telly and everything.

Can I stop you there with that competition?

You've been in a film with Margot Robbie, you've been in Barbie,

you are a Hollywood actress. Yeah.

I actually find that actors are terrible liars. I agree.

Are you lying now?

No!

My character on Industry is pretty hardcore,

double-crossing whoever to succeed.

My strategy is

get everyone to perceive me as like

doey-eyed, fun

and maybe a little naive.

The subliminal messaging has begun.

Guys, can I just say? Hmm? I think we're on the driveway.

Oh, is the castle-castle?

Maya... Are we holding hands? Holding hands.

OK, all together.

Oh, my God! Yes!

Ooh!

Oh, look at it! Amazing!

It is rather impressive, isn't it?

If this is the last time we're friends, good luck.

Peacock! PEACOCK CRIES OUT

We're in!

Where's the food? That's what I want.

God, it's surreal to be in here.

Hello, I haven't seen you properly, how are you?

As a fan of the show,

I always laugh when people play the game

really strong and wrong.

As a Glasgow girl, I'm quite good at being nosy

and I like to think I'm a good judge of character,

but I think this show's going to really, really test my theory.

Hi! How are you? I haven't said hello to you yet. You OK? Yeah, you?

This game is all about how people feel about you.

Good. I cannot believe we're here. It's crazy.

I think I am quite a people person,

so I'm hoping that people will trust me...

Oh, my God! Oh, my gosh!

..and feel comfortable around me.

I mean, nobody wants to go out the first day, do they?

Oh, I've found the bar, of course I found the bar first.

This is nuts!

What are you doing here? Have you already started loading up

drinks already?

How the hell are you, man? Really well.

Isn't this mad? As in, aren't we lucky?

If my 18-year-old self could see me now,

in this Scottish castle,

in this poncey suit, he would say,

"Life has worked out pretty damn well."

But, you know, the reason you're here is to play fair,

but play hard and play to win.

Oh, wow! Oh! And our faces up there.

James Blunt looks unbelievable.

Yeah, James Blunt looks absolutely gorgeous.

Why is mine taken from a true crime documentary?

LAUGHTER

I can't believe we're in the Traitors' bar.

It's kind of mad.

I'm the biggest fan of this show, which no-one here knows.

It's one of those games where you kind of have to fly

under the radar at the beginning,

so I'm hoping that the fact that I'm

maybe slightly less well-known,

or slightly younger, means people will have, like,

less of an expectation from me. And that is great.

But what does it say on it? Let's see.

"The Eternal Sleep."

That was... That means... GASPING

In my head, I am a proper TV detective.

I want to experience what it's like to be a Faithful in my one

opportunity to play this game.

As soon as I came in the castle,

I started looking for patterns, looking for clues,

and did I keep them to myself?

No.

See that perfume bottle there? Yeah.

I think it's something that

they're going to use to murder us with in plain sight.

I just get too excited at puzzles.

Memory, fortune, sleeping, love, courage, wisdom.

It's the one for sleeping.

"Look, there's some perfume bottles in this picture.

"Look, that same perfume bottle is in the room."

I can't believe you're already plotting like this.

One of those people might get made a Traitor,

and then they're going to go, "Right, well,

"obviously, we get rid of Acaster."

I don't think that is the same one, actually.

Yeah, it's... This is... This is not good.

Oh, God! Cheers! Cheers! Oh, yeah! Oh! Yeah, yeah.

Cheers! Yeah.

When we arrived at the castle,

I felt like I'd climbed in my telly,

and I just felt like the luckiest boy in the world.

Have you got a game plan?

To kill.Yeah. You really want to be a Traitor?

Oh, yeah.Yeah.

And even if I'm not, I will try and kill people.

Do you know what? I want to be a Traitor with you.

The sole point of doing this.Yeah, and just be absolutely ruthless.

I think we may enjoy it too much.

If I was lucky enough to be a Traitor,

that would be one of my dreams come true.

In real life, you have

so little control over anything,

whereas in this game, the only vestige of control

that you can possibly have is to be a Traitor.

If you're playing the game, you're playing the game.

Friendships mean diddly-squit.

CLAUDIA: 21 celebrities have entered the castle.

They're all equal now, but that is about to change.

It's time to select my Traitors.

There's some dark horses out there and there's some smart people,

but I'm hoping that whilst there's a lot of them,

I can just become the curtains.

WHISPERING:Oh, my God.

What is your strategy?

Play smart when I have to, play dumb when I have to,

but also be very trustworthy.

I want them to think that I'm a really, really good Faithful.

Do you want them to underestimate you a little bit?

Yes, and they already do.

I used to be in reconnaissance and my job was to be the eyes

and ears of my commanders, and then I suppose as a musician,

you're kind of sensitive to your surroundings too. Yeah.

But this a different ballgame

because people are out there to deceive.

Players, welcome to the Round Table.

A sacred place where Traitors and Faithful do battle.

A place where your fate in the game will be decided.

I can lie. I lie to Romesh when he comes offstage.

"Great gig."

I think as well, some of them might think I'm thick,

cos of the accent, and my school grades.

I know Rob very, very well. I mean, I've sat next to him

as he's had a colonic.

I can read him. Can he read you?

Nobody can. I've got resting indifferent face

and that's something I've been told a lot.

I'm unreadable.

As a host, as you know, I have quite a welcoming energy,

I think, so hopefully people will trust me

and, actually, there's murder on my mind.

Can you lie? Incredibly well.

I've had to. When I'm making a documentary,

sometimes you're looking into a cartel boss,

you don't know whether you're going to get out of there or not.

I'm a single woman on dating apps.

Do you know how much lying goes into that?

Yesterday I told a man I enjoyed nature and glass-blowing.

People think that I'm little and sweet,

which I suppose I am little,

but I don't know if people will expect me to be able to murder

with the ease that I would be able to.

I Googled how to have a face that is trustworthy. Mm-hm.

You need to have big eyes and a smallish smile.

That's lovely.Is that trustworthy?

Very trustworthy.

As a model, it can be so cut-throat.

How will you cope in here?

I think it'll be a lot easier than the fashion world.

Can you murder?

With relish.

Look around you.

Really look into each other's eyes.

This is the last time you will sit here as equals.

Would you like to be a Faithful, or would you like to be a Traitor?

Traitor.

I want to kill. Do you?

Really bad.

I will be the best Traitor of all time.

I will also be the cutest.

Traitor.

I'd like to be a Faithful. 100%.

I can't really be anything but myself,

and if I imagine, in my wildest dreams, getting to the end,

I would much rather be standing there and be able to say,

"I'm a Faithful."

Faithful. I absolutely believe I'm a psychological sleuth.

Miss Marple's in the house.

Traitor. I have this very soft, sweet nature

that I'm going to hopefully use to fool people.

I'm an undefeated professional boxer.

That competitive nature, either at being a Faithful

or a Traitor, I can really take it all the way.

Absolutely love to be Traitor.

I would be, hopefully, an unassuming,

warm, misleading,

manipulative Traitor.

I think I'd make a better Faithful than a Traitor.

Tell me why.

I'm, like, dripping with prefect energy, you know?

I'd like to be a Traitor.

I'm 90% that nice, warm guy who's on the news,

but I'm also 10% psychopath.

Give me three words to describe how you would behave as a Traitor.

I'm utterly ruthless.

No guilt?

No guilt. It's a game.

Players...

..please put on your blindfolds.

If you feel me touch you on the shoulder,

it means that you are a Traitor.

My heart is racing.

The atmosphere was very tense.

You can hear people, like, trying to keep their breath steady,

which I was also doing.

There was definitely a lot of adrenaline.

Goodness! I don't even know what to say.

I'm so excited.

I wanted to bring a different side of me out and here she is.

Villain era has begun.

Rrroww!

Yes!

Absolutely thrilled,

and I can't wait to start murdering them.

I cannot wait!

Players, the game is on.

I have chosen my Traitors.

The rest of you will be known as the Faithful.

Please take off your blindfolds.

Traitors, you will discover each other's identities tonight.

Your task is to stay undetected

and murder the Faithful.

Faithful, your job is to stay alive

and hunt down the Traitors

and banish them before you become their next victim.

Remember, if there are any Traitors left at the end of the game,

they take all the money for their chosen charity,

and all the glory.

The bad news is there are now killers among you.

But I leave you with the good news.

There will be no murder tonight.

And breathe!

Oh...

..one last thing.

The course of the game is not totally set...

Oh! What?

..as the Traitors' line-up is not complete.

It will be, though, by the time they claim their first victim.

Goodnight.

What? Has that ever happened before? That's never happened.

I'm confused.

All right, then, who is it?

Richard.

Are you happy?

Well, how are you feeling?

I've asked you the question. Are you happy?

I'm always happy.

Mate, you know what's dark?

There's actually Traitors amongst us.

Well, this is when everyone gets nervous and you're like,

"What happens now?"

Interesting.

Very, very interesting.

It's begun.

My wife said to me four days before she died, she said,

"Richard, try and find a pocketful of happiness in each day,"

and I feel like I've got

a wheelbarrow full and then some.

Which room? Go in there? Quickly.

Are you a Traitor? No! Are you a Traitor? No.

That's not really resolved much, has it?

What's up, the leader of the Faithfuls?

I've deemed you that, you know?

I'm definitely the leader of the Faithfuls. Yeah.

I'm sticking close to you.

Do you know what the worst thing is?

My lips got so dry halfway through and I thought, "If I keep licking

"my lips, people are going to think, 'Oh, look, she's got a dry mouth'."

That's what I'm saying. Everyone looks at... Everything. ..everything.

This is just another job.

Go to work, put on a smile,

la-la-la.

I'm happy, everything's fine. But secretly,

I just have to hide

the fact that I might kill you.

I just don't think you're a Traitor.

I just don't think you have it in you.

What, look, I'm not, but I could be if I wanted to be.

I don't think you've got the, "Ah!" I'd be really good.

I just would... If I was Claudia, I wouldn't pick you. Why?

I just don't think she'd trust you with that job.

What does that mean?

But why would she not trust me with that job? I don't know.

It's just a vibe I get.

So I trust you complicitly.

Well, what I'm getting from that is

you don't know what the word complicitly means.

I don't know what you guys feel, but the relief that it's actually begun.

Yeah, yeah. What did you understand about what she said about...

After the murder, what's going to happen?

The Traitors will not be complete until the first victim.

But then doesn't that mean that there are two Shields?

Me and Julie have got the Shields, yeah.

So, if any of you are Traitors, you can't kill me.

Tonight.

Never mind. Or you could be a Traitor...

Yeah, I could. ..who's just got a Shield...

I could be, but I'm not. I'm a Faithful.

What are you?

Traitor.

You're what?

Traitor.

He's a Traitor. Are you? Yeah.

Right.

What's the point of being in the game if you're not?

You know?Right.

OK.

It's an interesting angle.

Yeah.

You need to be very clear that you're not.

I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that,

and what are you, Richard?

WHISPERING:Faithful. Faithful.

Faithful, yeah. Yeah. I'm a Faithful.

LAUGHTER Bingo.

Changed your mind too quickly! Glad to be a Faithful.

I think you've just done something that's never happened in the game.

Bold strategy. It is a bold strategy.

OK, cheers.

Er, do we... We have to share that, presumably,

with the group?

But then... But then... Share what?

Richard - did you not hear what he said?

He said he was a Traitor. Well, you all bear witness to what just happened,

that he said he was a Traitor, right? I know, but he wanted to be

a Traitor so bad, so he's obviously not.

LAUGHTER

I just don't believe Richard's a Traitor.

I know Richard, I've known him 30 years

and he's my neighbour.

He says and does eccentric things.

He's an amazing guy,

but I think he's, like,

acting out because he's not been chosen.

We've got one. Shall we try and get a hat-trick in one night?

What happens if we get them all tonight?

Statistically, someone in here is a Traitor.

Jesus Christ! I know, it's a lot.

Hey. Hello.

I've got news.

What's your news? We've got massive news.

Right, so, I just

said to Richard E Grant, "Are you a Traitor?"

And he went, "Yes, I'm a Traitor."

LAUGHTER Oh, my God!

He's definitely not a Traitor. Well, surely not.

He's not going to... No, he said, "I am a Traitor."

He's messing with us!

You know what's weird? I actually don't think it's Richard.

Yeah.I think it would be too obvious. Yeah.

No-one can suss out Richard.

Cos he's an anomaly.

If I see him in that Turret,

what kind of game is that?

What game is he playing?

Richard's just gone in there and just said, "I'm a Traitor."

Has he?! Yes!

Apparently, you've just declared yourself a Traitor.

Well...

LAUGHTER

That may be the biggest mistake

I have ever made in my life.

I was so thrilled

to have been chosen as a Traitor,

that in my unguarded excitement,

I said, "Of course I'm a Traitor."

I clearly need to defuse all the heat

that's coming in my direction.

Ah, brother!

What did you understand about when Claudia said about

how people get murdered?

There's at least one more Traitor still to be picked.

Yeah. At least one. So, does that mean two people murder...?

Isn't it relevant to the Shields? The Shields. Yeah, cos...

That's what I thought. Julie and...Joe.

Joe. Do you think there's any possibility that they could both be

the Traitors, and they've got Shields?

Yeah. Yeah. They could.

As she came up to me in the church,

I thought, "Wow, if I was choosing who the Traitor would be,

"I would choose her", because

immediately she also won the popularity thing.

Immediately.

My mind went back to the church.

Something is not right

about the whole Shield thing.

It was just too easy.

Something's afoot.

# Don't know what to expect

# My mind is racing, I can barely feel my breath... #

Do you think you guys are actually good at spotting liars?

I'm quite good at it.

I feel like everyone sort of likes to think that they can tell

when people are lying... I can't.

..and life seems to suggest that they can't. I can't. No, no, no.

# When the lights go out all around, whispers fill the air

# In the dead of night, better hold on tight... #

BELL TOLLS Goodnight.

Sleep well. Cheers.Bye. See you in the morning.

Mwah! I would say parting is such sweet sorrow but...

Oh! SHARON CHOKES

The castle clock has chimed...

See you, guys. Night! See you later! Night, man.

..which means our players must retire to their individual lodgings,

where they can't see or speak to each other.

How are you feeling, Richard?

Slightly disappointed, to be honest.

Are you? Yeah.

For the Traitors, it's a very important evening.

They're about to discover who they've gone to the dark side with.

# Better hold on tight. #

BELL TOLLS

Hello.

You stand before the Traitors' Turret.

Before I give you this cloak, I must receive your oath.

Mm-mm.

Do you commit to lie and deceive throughout this game?

I do.

Are you willing to murder a fellow player every single night?

I am more than willing.

And do you vow to keep your identity

and the identity of your fellow Traitors a secret?

Yes, I do.

And yourself?

And myself.

Then it gives me enormous pleasure in saying, officially,

Maya, you are a Traitor.

Thank you.

You've made my year.

Can I say, already iconic? In you go.

Thank you.

Enjoy.I will.

Oh, the relief of being here and not being

one of those Faithfuls

is just enormous.

I can't wait.

I can't wait to meet the other Traitors.

I genuinely have no idea who the other Traitors are.

Naturally, I was so wrapped up in the fact that I was one

and I need to hide that, that I wasn't really looking too hard.

I can't wait to share this experience with someone else

and just be able to like...

..with them.

Oh, my God! Wow!

You!

Did you have any idea?

That it would be you? Yeah. No, nor that it would be me.

I can't believe you're playing this game, though.

You've been saying you're a Traitor.

You are mad! I know.

It is Richard, it's just so wild.

He was saying, "I'm a Traitor", and he actually is.

You're in trouble already. Deep trouble, yeah.

Hello. Hello.

I'm well happy to see you.

And you, Maya.

Maya, she wasn't even on my radar.

She seems too nice to be a Traitor...

..which I suppose is the point.

Genuinely, you threw me off

with running around saying you're a Traitor,

that completely threw me. Oh.

That's going to make me able to sleep in my bed tonight.

KNOCKING

Hello.Hello. Claudia.

Look at this! My Traitors!

I can't believe it. I actually can't believe it.

You are hilarious.

What a nerve!

Yeah. It's new.Yeah.

You may have noticed, there is only two of you.

Yes.

That won't be for long.OK.

I'm giving you the opportunity... Mm-hm.

..to choose a third Traitor to join you.

Tomorrow night, you will invite two people to a face-to-face meeting.

Oh, my gosh!

They will plead for their chance to join you as a Traitor.

Wow!

They're going to beg?

You will choose one of them to complete your trio.

The other one, well, they'll have seen too much,

so there's only one way for them to go.

Murder. Mm-hm.Yeah.

Feed 'em to the fishes. Yeah.

They'll beg. Oh, my gosh!

They'll beg! Ah! There is a God.

I'll leave that with you.

Are you happy with that power?

Oh, I'm loving it.

Sleep well and I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you, Claudia. Thank you, Claudia.

Phew!

Gosh, there's so much. I think we're going to see a lot tomorrow.

We're going to know who's going to take charge.

Yeah. I also think the unassuming ones

are ones we should look out for,

cos we need someone that's going to slip under the radar.

If your name gets brought up, defending you. Likewise.

And I will do everything to try and brush aside if people say,

"Yeah, but you kept saying you wanted to be a Traitor."

I'll say, "Of course. Whole point of the game." Yeah.

You're an actor.

Practise those lines tonight and get in there, and adapt to that role.

I am not a Traitor, I am not a Traitor.

Yes! I am not a Traitor. You can do it. I believe in you.

No shame in just, you know, thinking of me as a pet.

If you have to, "Tsk-tsk-tsk, down. Down, boy. Down, boy."

All right, doggie, let's go.

All right, woof!

I feel like me and Richard, we're in it together.

It's like having an unhinged uncle

running wild in the castle.

That is my partner in crime.

Tomorrow, these two people, they're going to beg to be Traitors

and the one that doesn't make the cut - kccch!

It should be absolutely delicious.

With no murder last night, the players slept soundly,

but this morning they'll need all their energy

as they're heading straight off to their first mission.

This is a chance for both Traitors and Faithful to work together,

in order to win money that will be added to the prize pot.

# I can't explain

# Any of these thoughts racing through my brain... #

Mission day, guys.

I'm really looking forward to a mission, in a very tight wet suit.

The outfits would suggest some sort of scuba situation.

Yes. How was it, putting yours on this morning?

I'd like to say it was a three-man job,

but it was a lot worse than that.

# Baby, I'm howlin' for you... #

I'm concerned about the chafing, but I have greased my nipples.

Have you? Yeah. With what? Have you greased your nipples?

I ordered bread and butter this morning

and I used the butter to grease my nipples.

Actually? Are you actually serious?

And you didn't?

I seem to remember Richard last night telling everyone

he was a Traitor. You don't want to listen to Richard.

Yes, I know, yeah.

But no-one stood, Richard. You were left hanging.

I know.

Yesterday was a big dipper ride.

I'm trying to make a plan to recruit

the person that is the most

on my case about being a Traitor.

That would be the person to get on side.

I'm already stressed out and the table hasn't come yet.

If it had to happen now, I'd just put Richard.

His is the biggest change

from before the Round Table and then after.

In the car, I told everyone that I'm pretty sure it's Richard,

cos I really want us to just hone in on, like,

as close to facts as we can get.

He said he was a Traitor, he said it out loud.

I don't know, I think everyone's going to ignore it

cos they're going to go, "Well, it's just Richard."

Maybe this is all part of his twisted plan of being like,

"I'm a Traitor. No, I'm not," and he just wants entertainment.

I really, really, genuinely do not think he's a Traitor.

I don't either. I think he's too smart for that.

I'm enjoying the Traitor hunting.

Yeah. Me, too.

I now feel, with total clarity,

it would be great to catch those little rascals. Me, too.

# Baby, I'm howlin' for you. #

Let's raise some money, guys.

Oh, why did I say that?

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my God! Oh, it's a boat!

Oh!

This is so cool!

It's Pirates of the Highlands.

Oh, look at that!

I don't like boats, let alone the ones on fire.

Wow!

Players, welcome to your very first mission.

If you like, your first voyage into banking some gold.

As you can see, not all voyages are successful.

Here lies the Traitors' ship.

It ran into a bit of bad luck,

but that misfortune could mean a huge fortune for you.

Scattered all around the wreckage, there are crates.

Once you've found a crate, bring it to shore

and open it with that crowbar.

Most of the crates, they hold nothing important.

However, three of them contain precious treasure chests,

each containing £3,000 worth of gold.Ooh!

Each of those three chests contain part of a code.

If you crack that code, then you can open the captain's safe.

Inside, there is £6,000.

GASPING

So, if you are successful in this mission,

you could add £15,000 to the prize fund.

Oh! Do you understand? Yes. Yes.

But, as you will learn, there is always more.

That ship...

..is rammed to the rafters with gunpowder.

Oh, wow! What?

Those explosives will blow in about 25 minutes.

So, this is your first mission.

Who would like to add £15,000 to the prize fund?

Yeah! Woo! Yes!

I would love to help, but I don't believe in cold water.

That's fair.

Enormous luck.

Please, go and get yourselves ready.

I was like, "You're actually on The Traitors,

"doing your first mission. Focus, Miranda."

I felt very excited,

and desperate for a wee.

Your first mission, then.

It starts in

three, two, one, go! Go!

Hang on, no, no, stop, stop, stop! We need to plan.

Listen! Four teams of five people each. Four teams.

Two teams over that side, I'd suggest a near team and a far team.

Tallest go far, shortest go close.

Oh, shortest go this way.

Who were the two commanders with instructions at the front?

James Blunt,

former military man, and Ross Kemp, professional hard nut,

which, as it happens,

we were very happy to follow.

Oh, right, lift it, lift it, lift it.

Are we getting nearest first, Ross?

No, furthest first. Furthest first.

I've got the crowbar.

I was manning the crowbar.

Well, go more that way.

You know, in Texas we are pretty good with our tools,

so I knew all the techniques.

Have you got it? Yep.

Nothing. Oh, no! What's that?

Oh, look, look, look! No, no, no, no. No, that's nothing.

Are you sure this is nothing?

Ooh! I've been looking for my wigs.

Oh, maybe I need to hold on to you.

Hold on to me. You got me?

Move this one and bring that one here. OK.

Well done, everyone. Let's take lunch.

Watch, watch, watch there, just watch your feet.

There's nothing in here.

OK, get it out of the way!

Sorry, Rob. That's OK.

I love swimming, I love the sea, but we are in Scotland,

so it's absolutely freezing.

Oh, my gosh!

I was in half a mind to wee a little bit in my wet suit

just to warm it up.

Keep going. OK, wait. OK. Now I'm just going to...

It was hard work and there was no way that the rest of us

could drag one of those crates out by themselves...

Whoa! ..unless you're Ross Kemp.

Well done, Ross.

You are very strong.

OK, it's empty, go! Move it! Move it!

Come on, quick, guys! Come on!

Very, very bossy, Jerry Hall.

These crates my way, you go that way. Stop!

"Hurry up! Get over here!

"Stop lollygagging!"

I don't know if she said that,

but it's the sort of thing she would say.

OK. Oh, we must have some gold.

Ooh, this is getting a bit harder.

Guys, you've had half your time! Argh!

We went through so many

crates with nothing in it

but random gubbins.

Nada.

Oh, none of these crates have got anything in.

Guys, there's three here! Three!

It's got to be in here. We've had so many!

Oh, yeah! Yeah! Woo!

Oh, they've found one, they've found one!

They got one!

X marks the spot. Has anyone seen an X?

We find the crate with the treasure chest

and the treasure chest itself holds the clue,

telling us how to open it.

Has anyone seen an X? Look for an X!

What the hell?

Any X's in here?

OK, there's no X up here.

We're looking everywhere for the X.

Wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Where was it?

On the spooky little cherub at the front of the ship.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Right, it's getting closer. Oh! Come on, babe! Come on!

Got the key? Yeah. Put it in.

Go on, Rob. Go, go, go, go, go!

Yes! Well done, Rob!Got it, next one.

Woohoo! £3,000 added to the pot.

OK. Oh, yeah, another one, yeah! Yeah!

It's a bird! It's a bird, guys!

Up there.

When someone said a bird, I just looked

and I saw something on the ship,

and I just started running towards it.

Oh, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! On the way!

Yes, nice one.

Hurry up! Get it!

Get it!

Bring it! What are they doing?

Can everyone just please stop shouting?

This is very stressful.

I've got... It's a key.

Throw it. Throw it!

I just lobbed it to James Blunt...

Whoa! ..and it somehow made its way to him.

It's open. Go on, then.

Yeah, OK, now it's open, yeah.

Thank you, darling.

Guys, £6,000 added to the fund.

One more treasure chest.

This way! OK.

No. Ugh! Go, Jerry!

Yeah! OK. Go on, Jerry.

Yes! Yes! Get it, grab it!

They've got the last chest!

"I open on the sailor's touch."

"I open on the sailor's touch." So a skeleton hand.

I was in the water

and someone went, "Skeleton's hand."

I don't see a skeleton hand. Skeleton? Yeah!

And I thought, "I know where to find the skeleton's hand."

Skeleton!

Then I was looking at the skeleton's hands, being like,

"What's hap... Like, what's on the hand?

"There's nothing there." What?!

You only have five minutes left!

Skeleton hand. There's this. There's this.

Maybe we need to take it to the box. Yeah.

Eventually, I thought, "Oh, maybe it's just the actual hand."

There isn't a number on it.

We've got it! Bring it!

Come on! Throw it! Throw it!

Come on, throw it and I'll chuck it on.

It said, "The touch."

We were so desperate to get the gold.

Bring it, guys, bring it!

The hand was brought out...

Come on!

It had to go onto the actual

imprint of a hand,

and once we worked that out,

then we were able to open it.

That's it, that's it. They've done it! Another £3,000!

What's the number? Five! Five! Five! Five! It's five!

What is it? It's one, five and eight!

Five! Thank you, Maya, thank you, Michael.

Well done, Romesh.

It could be 815.

Try all the numbers, try all the ways.

They're now trying to get into the captain's safe, but what

they don't know is when they open the safe,

they will have to run.

Try all the numbers! He's trying, he's trying.

Guys, guys, guys, do it systematically or you'll miss one.

I'm not the strongest, I'm not the fastest,

but I am a numbers gal.

Yeah, you shout them out what they can be, then.

OK! Come on. One, eight, five.

Now do one, five, eight. You got it!

Oh, we got it.

We got the money. Yeah! Go! Go! Go!

"You dare to open my safe and steal my gold.

"This boat will now explode in 90 seconds!"

Come on! It's going to blow!

Come on, guys. Run! Run!

We have got what we need.

We need to get the hell out of there.

Get to the chopper! Come on! Run, it's going to blow!

"Come on! Run! We have no time!"

Come on! SHOUTING

We can smell flames and gunpowder

and we are fighting our way out

as fast as our little legs can take us.

Woo!

Whoa!

Woo! Oh, my God!

Wow! You did it! You did it!

What a team!

We were all over the moon that we got all the money

because it did seem pretty impossible at one point.

All of you were utterly brilliant.

Didn't just kill me, did you? No!

You acted beautifully as a team and £15,000 added to the prize fund.

Yes! Woo! Yay!

And I really want you to revel in that,

because tonight the Traitors will carry out their first murder.

Oh!

So, go back to the castle, get warm

and think about what you did today.

Off you go, well done! £15,000!

Woo! Smashed it.

I'm so chuffed that we did it, we smashed the first trial,

and you got the hat.

Yeah, yeah, well, talking of the hat, killed in plain sight?

Do you think? By who? Wait, what? By Bella.

Interesting. No!

So, there I am, feeling chuffed with myself,

cos I think I've done a good job in the mission,

and then Bella comes up and puts the hat

that was on top of the skeleton's skull on my head,

and I just go, "Oh!

"They've just killed me in plain sight."

Surely there is one comedian in the Traitors.

There has to be a comedian Traitor, right?

It's probably Joe Lycett.

I mean, he'd make a good Traitor.

He'd make an amazing Traitor.

If it's you, Romesh... Yeah.

..after all this, we're going to have a serious problem. Oh!

It's over, if you're lying to me.

Agreed. If you're lying, this is awful.

Mate, I need to get the emphasis right.

If YOU'RE lying!

CHUCKLING

I am too hungry to try and work out who's a Traitor.

I've actually noticed across, cos I've watched and studied

all of the previous series of it,

and people who tend to be Traitors tend to have less carbs,

so I think we should go round and just have a look.

Potato, pasta.

I'm double carb.

Oh, dear! Look what we've got here.

Good evening, sirs.

So, me and Richard have been in a car together all day,

so we've been talking about all kinds of stuff.

What's been coming up in your car? Who was in your car?

Leigh-Anne, Maya and James Acaster.

OK.I'll be honest with you, Richard... Yeah?

..your name got brought up.

After last night, hardly a surprise.

I'm just being honest.

Your name did get brought up.

So, where I'm from, you've got to respect your elders,

but this is a game where them rules are eradicated,

so I kind of have to come out of my comfort zone and just talk.

This is a game of gathering information.

Yeah, Kenny's just been telling us the lowdown of your deductions.

Uh-huh. And he's already told me that I'm in trouble.

Yeah, you're in big trouble. Yeah.

You'd better believe it.

I do not understand what game Richard is playing, right?

He was just disappointed because I think... I mean, me too.

But don't you think that if he is a Traitor,

we would all be so stupid not to just like banish him?

Yes. But don't you think it's too obvious?

I think he and I both were too eager.

As a Faithful,

I really believe that there's something cool about being

part of a bigger team, trying to snuff out

the bad guys who are lying to us.

And, you know, I know how to ask

annoying but useful questions

and then keep chasing an answer.

Richard, how are you feeling?

I'm feeling so relieved to have feeling in my toes again,

after this afternoon. How are you feeling?

I'm feeling very excited to chat to you.

OK.

What happened last night?

You are the Lord of Chaos.

Well, the game had actually started, I was

so relieved that it started because I had been so blatant about saying

that I came into this thing and it's called Traitors,

because I wanted to be a Traitor,

so when I walked into the bar and somebody said,

"So, are you a Faithful or a Traitor?" I said,

"I'm a Traitor, of course!"

When you did it, I was like, "This is so funny."

But I am absolutely convinced

I'm going home after last night. But now, right now,

I do slightly think you're a Faithful now.

Richard E Grant is confounding!

Suddenly he went kind of more real

and went, "No, I'm actually just disappointed" and I'm like, "OK..."

Miss Marple, psychological sleuth, is lost.

I've got a list of people that I'm absolutely certain are Faithfuls.

Tell. Tell us.

One of them is Ross.

Thank you. One of them is Sharon.

Sharon. One of them is Bash.

If you're a Faithful

and you put that hat on my head, darling,

you did it because I got the money.

Ross suddenly had a moment of thinking that maybe I'd, like,

murdered him with the hat on the head.

I didn't even think that that would be suspicious in any way.

Ross is quite worried.

He thinks that Bella touched him and gave him the hat,

so they could be a Traitor.

Any name will do as long as it takes the heat off me and Richard.

You all right? Sorry. Mm...

SHIVERING

Are you that cold?I'm a little bit cold. Yeah, it's cold in here.

I don't want...

I'm going sparkling...

Well, boys, another weird one's just happened.

What's happened? Just had my arm rubbed, it's so cold.

Just rubbed me on the arm. Who did?

Leigh-Anne.

Came up and rubbed you? She's just rubbed me on the arm.

I'm just going to go and ask her.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Did you just rub me on the arm like that, cos you were cold?

Oh, my gosh, what? Calm down!

I'm so paranoid. Stop! No! Oh!

Everyone is so paranoid. I literally went like this, I was cold.

I'm so paranoid, can you not get it?

Can you not get it?Oh, my God!

It's going to be more than a rub on the shoulder!

No, it can't. It could just be that.Oh, don't!

My guard is very much up.

Anybody touching me, offering me a drink,

talking to me in a slightly odd way, that could be me gone,

so at the moment, I am feeling

pretty paranoid.

# Secrets spreading like wildfire

# Fire

# Feeding off the thieves and liars

# Liars

# Better watch your back... #

Goodnight, Kenny. No, I'm not going to shake your hand.

No, I can't touch anyone.

I've already been touched too much.

Kenny, please!

Sleep well, if you can. Hasta manana. Goodnight, pal.

I'll tell you whose name hasn't come up at all. Maya.

Bye-bye!Goodnight! Bye, babe. Goodnight.

She'd be a great Traitor. She'd be an amazing Traitor.

The castle clock has chimed,

which means the Faithful must return to their individual lodgings.

But for the Traitors, well, they need to head to the Turret,

as they have a huge decision to make.

# Better watch your back

# Better watch your back

# Better watch your... #

Richard.

Maya. How are you feeling?

Firing squad.

It seems like because of that Traitor thing

that you said yesterday, people don't have a lot to go by

and that is all they're clinging to right now.

Understandably. Yeah.

We've got a big decision to make tonight. Yeah.

We've basically got to work out how to save you.

We've got to invite two Faithful.

One, to join our Traitor clan,

and the other to kill.

I think we need to get someone that is your main accuser on side. OK.

The biggest Rottweiler on me is Amol.

It would take the heat off me, for having been such a plonker.

He also could defend you and switch completely.

Would that not be very suspicious if he suddenly did that?

He'd have to play it really, really smartly.

OK, so who would be a good person to recruit, in your opinion?

Romesh...

And then there's Bella.

James Acaster is laser-eyed

in his conviction that I am a Traitor.

Mm-hm.

He would make a good Traitor, though.

He would make a very good Traitor.

He's super smart and the way that he discusses things,

he's very careful. But then again, he's after you.

I know. I'm absolutely in his sights. Yeah.

There's a lot of things going on but we're so early in the game,

we have to be so careful.

So, what do you advise?

Our mission tonight is basically get the heat off you

because you've digged yourself a humongous hole.

There's not enough asbestos left in England.

We've got to try our best.

Are we agreed who we're going to lock in?

Yes. I think we just see how they plead their case.

# I'm a dead man walking

# Hell's at my door... #

The time I have left is entirely dependent

on choosing who the best person is

to recruit and deflect.

KNOCKING

Traitors.

Hello.

Oh, Claudia.

It is time for you both to choose the two players

you would like to invite to a face-to-face meeting.

One of them will join you in here as a Traitor.

The other? Well, they'll be dead.

OK.

Have you reached an agreement?

We have reached an agreement, yes. We have.

Thank you.

I will organise the arrangements.

Good luck.Thank you.

# I'll take every soul I can into the night

# And kill till I die. #

What are you, Richard? A Faithful.

There you go. See, you can do it.

It is kind of stressing me out that they're going to see our faces

and have to plead.

I have no stress about that whatsoever.

None.

I am hoping that I can turn this around for you.

You've got it in you.

OK. It's the final push.

Final push.

Ah!

"Amol...

"Your presence is required at a secret meeting."

"Please make your way to the chapel immediately."

# All I do each night is pray... #

Oh, my days, what even is this game?

Oh, my word!

There are two coffins.

You're kidding me.

It's not me.

I've been called here as well.

Oh! God!

It's you and me, and two coffins.

I mean, that's not great, is it?

This is so stressful, man!

Oh, God, here we go, here we go.

This is not a good sign, is it?

Amol, James, welcome back to the chapel.

You must be wondering why you've been brought here

in the dead of night.

Well, I can now reveal that you've been invited here by the Traitors.

One of you will be recruited as a Traitor tonight.

The other - well...

..you'll be murdered.

The Traitors will decide who lives and who dies.

But you have the opportunity to influence their decision.

A lifeline, if you will.

To survive this first murder,

you will have to convince them

that you are the best recruit.

If you are selected,

you will join them as a Traitor immediately.

Of course, if you don't want to be a Traitor,

you can make that known,

but you know how that will end up.

And one more thing.

You will each plead for your lives to the Traitors...

..face-to-face.

Oh! Two of them.

Oh, my, you're ki...

Oh, my...

I... Oh, my God.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no!

Yeah.

No!

Richard, were you double, triple bluffing or what? Maya!

I should have seen that all along.

The sight of the two of them,

hoods down, united in evil,

I don't think I will ever forget.

Well, Faithful, now you know who you're at the mercy of,

it is time to make your pleas.

Who would like to go first?

After you, mate.

James?

I think currently pretty much everyone's convinced I'm a Faithful.

Also, I've been pushing your name really, really, really hard.

Everyone knows that about me.

If I go tonight, the first person they're looking at is you.

You need help getting the heat off of you

and right now, everyone believes me,

cos I've just gone in, head-first, into being a Faithful.

So, all I have to do is keep that up.

And we were in the car together today. We got on.

You know that we work well as a team.

I'm pretty confident that I'm the right decision.

OK. Amol, it is now your turn to plead for your life.

I genuinely have absolutely no heat on me whatsoever.

Nobody in there thinks I'm a Traitor and that's going to be useful.

The second thing is

I've established some really good relationships.

I know that they'll believe what I say,

and that is why the third pillar, which is relevant to you, Richard,

is I do think I am uniquely placed to take the heat off you.

I'm here cos I sniff out lies for a living,

and the Faithful think I will identify the Traitor

by doing my job really well,

and if I'm on your side, I'll throw them off the scent.

Go and each lay in a coffin

while you await your fates.

Ah, dear!

Ah, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy...

Ah! I'm too young for this.

Traitors, you must now choose who you want to join you

and who you want dead.

It's literally a decision of life and death.

The two Faithfuls we've invited to the chapel

are our only hope of saving Richard's name.

It's such a hard decision because it could change the entire game.

Have you made your decision?

The decision that Maya and I have made is monumental for my survival.

The decision that Maya and I have made is monumental for my survival.

I genuinely, heartfeltly hope I don't live to regret it.
