22 players arrived at this Scottish castle to play the game of

a lifetime and to hopefully win up to £120,000.

But hidden amongst them are the Traitors who will secretly

murder their fellow players at night.

It's up to the others, the Faithful, to work out who the Traitors are...

It's exhausting.

..and banish them from the game.

Will you let me speak?

Because if a Traitor remains undetected...

I'm not a Traitor. I swear on everything.

..they take all the money.

Previously...

Some players fell early.

I'm afraid it's goodbye. No.

While some were lying before the game even started.

My boyfriend Tom is also in this game.

We're keeping that to ourselves.

Three Traitors were chosen.

I just feel like it's my game now.

Get up there, right?

The players started building a prize pot.

Everyone who's old is on our team.

And suspicions started flying...

Nicky didn't raise her glass.

Theo's not genuine.

..as the Traitors prepared to murder their first victim.

Aisha, Theo or Andrea.

So how are you going to feel about committing that first murder?

Absolutely fine.

This is The Traitors.

# Birds flying high

# You know how I feel... #

We've committed our first murder, and I think we've made

the right decision.

They're not going to catch up with us.

No, not at all.

There's just so much power in our hands.

Yeah, there's so much power.

And it feels so great.

It does feel great.

Last night, the Traitors committed their first murder,

but which Faithful didn't make it through the night?

This morning, the surviving players will make their way to breakfast.

But one Faithful won't arrive at the castle, and currently only

the Traitors know who that is.

We're the first ones.

Oh, God.

Everyone's still on the board as well.

Oh, yeah. That's a good sign.

I'm shaking now.

I can't believe it.

Cheers, guys.

Day two. Cheers to being alive.

I could not have been more relieved.

The fact that we were in first with no-one else there,

it was just lovely.

We got to sit down and fill our plates with pastries and just watch

the other people come in.

Yes. Yes.

I was shaking so much.

Let's go. Thank God.

At that point, all I was thinking of was, I'm so grateful,

I've lived another day.

I didn't think I was going to get this, like, nervous.

And then waiting in that breakfast room,

I'm anxious that my boyfriend Tom won't be there.

Tom and I decided it'd be best to hide our relationship.

It's hard cos obviously, I want to, like, make sure he's OK.

KNOCK ON DOOR

ALL: Come in.

CHEERING

Yes! I walked through the door, like, I was so happy.

I was just like, oh, my God, I've made it past day one.

You look amazing.

I remember feeling so happy to see Alex because I fancy her.

I was honestly the happiest guy.

CHEERING

You made it. Just about.

When I saw that silly pink hair, I was like, oh, thank God.

CHATTER

Walking into breakfast this morning,

I was just so anxious.

I'm thinking, well, you know, I was really bossy.

And I was just like, what if people don't like that?

The 120,000,

it would mean the world to me to win that money.

CHEERING

It's amazing going down to breakfast as a Traitor because obviously

I know who I've murdered, so I'm just, like, pretending

that you're shocked that you'll come through the door.

Oh, my God.

I'm so pleased.

Good morning.

CHEERING

Even though I knew John was coming back, for some reason

I was just really happy, even though I knew

he was coming back.

It's like a mad experience.

I came in with Amanda.

We obviously had to act and be like, "Oh, we're so excited to be here."

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You're shaking. I'm shaking.

You are here.

You are here.

I just had to pretend that I was crapping it.

I had to go in shaking and I had to go in proud of myself

for being here,

that I got another night without the Traitors murdering me.

Right. Left, There's Theo.

Aisha and Andrea.

I would be devastated with any of them going.

No, no. I'm already shocked.

Who do you think has gone? I don't know.

I'm going to be gutted regardless. Whoever, whoever goes,

then you can...

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in!

Who is it?

CHEERING

Oh, my God. It's going to be Theo or Aisha.

One of the two are going.

So whoever walks the door next is the last.

I didn't think it would be down to these two, but I think I'd say Theo.

He did have a run in with Imran.

Theo kind of went for Imran last night.

Theo just walk in, Imran took him out.

I'm going to say that.

I just want my friend to come back.

I feel sorry for them

if they lose Aisha, even though it's not fair on us,

but it's also not fair on them.

If you play as a Faithful and you sort of get yourself into,

like, Faithful ways...

I can't explain it. You make... Literally feel like one of them.

It'll be weird without Aisha

with us lot here. I actually love Aisha.

She's so funny.

If he's gone... It's war. 100%.

KNOCK ON DOOR

ALL: Come in.

I'm so nervous.

CHEERING

Aisha's gone.

Someone's killed her.

Oh, God.

Someone's murdered her.

I'm more threatened by Aisha than Theo at this point.

Yeah. And Aisha, right,

I can tell she wanted to be a Traitor, so she'll do

anything to find out who that is.

She could be domineering in the game. And that will break

up the youth group.

Yes, you need to break them up.

I love the girl, but... Yeah.

Ugh.

OWL HOOTS

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

Fucking snakes.

Absolute snakes, them Traitors.

Oh, God!

Nobody wants to be the first person to go, do they?

So, it's hard, it's rough.

Oh, my God.

That's it, then.

These Traitors can murder you just at the drop of a hat

without defending yourself or anything like that.

So, for me, I was just glad and grateful that I got another day

and I was in that room with amazing people.

I was glad.

It was difficult cos the game is just beginning

and I think we were all on the same wavelength

that these big characters that people would gravitate to,

we had to start eliminating them.

So, unfortunately, Aisha had to be the first to be murdered.

You like Theo?

I know, I can't believe it. I know, but one had to go.

It just makes you feel sad, doesn't it? Yeah, it is sad.

It's like a bittersweet feeling, isn't it?

Don't get me wrong, Theo walking in, I was so happy.

But, like, I was kind of a little bit gutted

cos, like, yeah, she was just...

She was fun to be around.

I don't think it was going to be easy to lose anyone at this point.

She was so lovely.

Good morning.

ALL: Morning! Morning, everybody.

ALL: Good morning! Hello!

Isn't this delightful?

ALL: Yes.

Did you sleep well? ALL: No.

The first murder has taken place.

So, would you repeat after me...

Oh, no! Oh, my God.

..bye-bye, Aisha?

ALL: Bye-bye, Aisha.

Wow.

SHOCKED LAUGHTER

But don't worry, cos you can get your own back,

because tonight, there'll be the first banishment.

And if you're lucky, you get out a Traitor.

We need to get rid of them very quickly.

And I'm hoping that we can banish one, tonight.

We're going to have another mission. You can build up the prize fund.

I do hope you like music. Does anyone like music?

CHEERING

Then, you'll do very well. See you later. Enjoy your breakfast.

ALL: Bye! Bye, darlings.

So, that's it. First real murder.

We're actually in this now, in the game.

There's Traitors around this table.

And I can't call one of them.

That was so stressful, bro.

So, so, so happy you're here. Same.

Is it raining? A little bit. Yeah, it's just super windy.

Oh, brilliant. Great job, Tom.

Brilliant. How did you do that?

Wait, wait, wait.

What's wrong with these?

Aisha being murdered... Mm-hm.

..it is possible that the Traitors were doing that

because she fancied you, you thought she was all right.

Maybe they were trying to sort of see

if they could pin it on you a little bit.

What, because I fancy her?

THEY LAUGH

Aaron's fuming. He's like, "I just thought she was pretty."

We were just trying to...we were just trying to find any connection.

It's a guessing game. It literally is. It could be anyone.

There's so many names coming out, my mind is scrambled.

So, my plan in this game is to lie

by telling the truth 90% of the time.

It's also referred to as the 90-10 strategy.

Will I tell the group that I've obtained a PhD at the age of 22,

which for the discipline is the youngest in the world?

No, I'm smarter than that.

What I'm looking to do is translate some of those academic principles

to determine whether, you know, somebody's a Traitor.

But, right now, it's...it's tricky.

So, how did you feel, then, this morning?

Yeah, gutted because she was a genuine person.

Yeah, I think she was. Yeah.

Does anybody know anyone that didn't get on with her?

I knew Aisha quite well and, no.

Cos I think everyone got on with everyone.

But she was a young lady that was not afraid to say what she thinks.

That might have been a disadvantage.

I'm going to forget it this game

because not a lot of people are aware

that I spend a lot of years working for Humberside Police.

If she hadn't been getting on with anybody or she felt anything,

she'd have talked to me and I didn't get that opportunity, yesterday.

But how would you have stopped the Traitors from killing her?

I couldn't. You wouldn't have been able to do that.

But I might have had some information and I didn't get that.

That career really, really taught me to look for things in people

that potentially other people don't see.

Like, I'm very good at spotting people

when they're not telling the truth.

Spotting things that don't add up.

And I'll be able to sniff them out.

It's early days for potentially whoever the Traitors are

to go in there and make a strategic action against her.

It could just be person... Unless she upset them.

Yeah, it could just be personality. That's the only other thing.

She was like a little social butterfly,

going from group to group.

Maybe they thought, "We need to get rid of somebody like her because..."

That's what I'm like.

I'm trying to mirror the other guys, the Faithfuls,

and trying to be a Faithful.

I want to win, like, 100,000,000%.

This is a ridiculous amount of money.

I've never been abroad in my life,

so I want to take my kids out

and show them what I was never able to see

but experience that with them for the first time.

Cos, remember, the Traitors, they don't care who they murder.

No. We want to banish the Traitors.

This is why I said when I'm building my case against people,

I'm going in with hard evidence. Yeah!

So, then, people can't be just like, "Mm."

And I'm not influencing anybody around here, I'm doing it myself.

Yeah, it's too early. This is what I think.

Do you have kids? I do.

I have... My son is 26 years old.

Damn. Yeah. Are you close with him? I had my son very young.

Then, the accident happened.

You know, it's hard, losing your hand at 22

and you've got a four-year-old kid.

You're like, "Right, what do we do, now?", you know.

Nearly 23 years ago, I had a car crash on the motorway

and I lost my right hand.

It's all about perseverance and that's just something...

Do you know what? I sit there,

and when you've got someone staring up at you,

thinking that they're reliant upon you,

you're like, as much as what I'm going through,

I've just lost my hand, you're like, "Shit, I can't crumble." Yep.

And you just say,

"OK, well, I'm not going to make life complicated for myself",

so I'm still with Mum and Dad.

Do you think if you won the competition and that 120,000,

you would leave your parents' home and you would maybe put that

as a down payment on something for yourself?

I couldn't. No, I'd just get the hand.

If I was to win, Traitors, it would enable me

to realise my dream of having two working hands again.

You know, this is big. This is big stuff.

CLAUDIA: Here they are. It's mission time, everyone.

Regardless of the fact that everybody is going to get murdered

or going to be, you know, banished from the group,

when we collectively have a mission to do,

all the other elements go out of the window.

Let's get the task done. Let's win the money.

OK, welcome.

This is your second mission.

If you get this perfect,

you will add £10,000 to the prize fund.

ALL: Woo! Woohoo!

Remember, there are Traitors, there are Faithful,

but you work as a team.

OK, please, separate into two groups -

7 in one, 12 in the other.

Shall we just go down the middle somewhere? Yeah, down the middle.

You don't know what's going to happen,

so we might as well just split down.

OK, have you done it?

OK, so, for my group of seven,

you are going to go to the Castle Chapel...

..where you will be greeted by some church bells

and five pieces of sheet music.

You are going to have to play five different songs. Oh!

It's fine. Feel comfortable.

Now, you 12 are going to have to listen to those songs

and work out what they are. OK.

Once you've identified the songs,

you have to find the matching music box.

You will open the music box.

Inside, will be a figurine of an object.

That object is somewhere in the castle. Bring it to me.

For every correct answer,

you all get £2,000 added to the pot.

Five songs, if you do it correctly - £10,000.

Are we clear? ALL: Yes.

You can do it. Enormous luck.

You guys go to the chapel. You, follow me. Come on.

Good luck, guys! Woo!

Good luck. See you soon!

All the way through this, we're going to be working as a team.

But if a Traitor walks away with the money,

I think I'm going to spend the rest of my life

just being a little bit sick in my mouth.

Has anyone done bell ringing before?

No. I mean, a little bit.

Then, you should start. You should go first. OK.

They've got... Ivan's really good at music as well.

And so is, um...

Alex. ..Alex and Maddy as well.

We sent the right people.

Yeah. We definitely did.

I think every time we go into a mission,

there is only one way to play it,

to try to win the mission and to win as much money as possible.

Everybody is working together - Traitors, Faithful, whatever.

Right, ready?

Yes. Yes, come on.

And...

..one, four...

..four, four, six, five.

BELLS RING

BELL RINGING CONTINUES

THEO SINGS

Four.

It's Auld Lang Syne.

National Anthem, Great Britain. Yes, go, go, go!

National Anthem, Great Britain.

SHOUTING

We had to distinguish what song it was,

run to these music boxes

and basically figure out which boxes matched up

with the music that was played from the church.

Players, less than three minutes remaining for this round. Nope.

Do you know the song?

MUSIC BOX PLAYS

That's not the national anthem.

No, no, it's not. I know what that is. I know what that is.

Come on. Go. OK, ready?

One, four...

..four, four.

Is that what I played?

I had to go back and listen to it, again.

And then, I was like...

HUMS AULD LANG SYNE

Auld Lang Syne. Everybody knows that.

Is that Auld Lang Syne? Auld Lang Syne, Auld Lang Syne!

Come on!

You have 1 minute, 50 seconds. Find it!

Sorry to shout.

Auld Lang Syne, Auld Lang Syne!

There was then a little ornament in the box,

and then, you had to find the larger version of that

hidden around the castle.

An owl. What is it? An owl.

ALL: An owl, an owl!

Oh, my God. I've never sprinted so fast in my life

down a corridor in a castle.

One minute, 15 seconds. ALL: An owl!

EXCITED SHOUTING

Go, go, go, go, go!

We've got the owl!

Let's go!

An owl!

That is the correct answer.

THEY SCREAM

Very well done. £2,000 added to the pot.

Yes! Woo!

BELL RINGS

Yes! Woo!

Woo!

I was getting stressed. Well done. Well done, Ivan.

We did really well on our side, I think.

We got the first one right and fast

and it made for a pretty nice concert.

OK, next song...

Six, two...

..three.

BELLS RING

WHISPERS: It's supposed to be Swan Lake,

but it doesn't sound like Swan Lake.

I have not got any music sense whatsoever,

so I was hopeless at the challenge.

# One, two, three

# One, two, three. #

Listen again, listen again.

Do you want to take right? I'll go left.

It's a ballerina!

It was like, "Ballerina!"

So, we're looking for a ballerina everywhere.

Could not find a ballerina.

Andrea.

MUMBLES: Shoes, shoes.

I'm not helping them.

Dance shoes, dance shoes!

Get dance shoes. Dance shoes, got them!

Dance shoes!

Yes! ALL: Yes!

You have another 2,000.

CHEERING

And then, it's back outside again.

And you listen and you listen.

BELLS RING

Seven, eight...

..eight, five...

..four, four, five.

BELLS RING

I know the song.

It's Ode to Joy.

It was absolute mayhem.

And it wasn't even about the money in the end.

I think we all just liked a good run around.

That's it, that's it, that's it! It's a hat with a feather on it.

It's a hat with a feather!

Wait, is that a feather?

ALL: Yes, yes, go!

You have smashed that.

CHEERING

Six grand, mate.

BELL RINGS

ALL: Yes!

As soon as we knew what it was, we smashed it, I think.

And we were going for gold at this point.

Ready?

Eight, six, eight, seven...

..five, six, four, four, four.

Shall we just do it...? Should we just run through

cos we can't remember that? All right, OK.

Eight six, eight, seven.

BELLS RING

Three, three, three.

Two, two, two.

One, six, two, six, one.

Six. One.

This is a hard one.

MUSIC: Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little...!

Oh, my God. Yes! Are you sure?

Yes, yes, yes. I know where it is!

I know where Twinkle, Twinkle is!

I don't think it is.

It's here, it's here, it's here.

Knight piece, knight piece.

SHOUTING

Guys, we've got it!

That is incorrect.

It's not right, it's not right!

Oh, I'm struggling with this one, boys.

Do it again. Keep going. Slower.

Even slower, even slower. Slower, right? Ready?

Eight, six... No, too fast.

Can you just do it after you've done it? Yeah.

Fay did hers. I don't think she was necessarily confident,

like beating out the rhythm like the other people were.

Eight, seven...

Right, you've got to say it out. Five, six...

Fay's so worked up about it all.

I think she's quite an intense person,

but we just couldn't get the rhythm going.

Three Blind Mice?

I think it might be Three Blind Mice!

Has anyone heard Three Blind Mice?

Three Blind Mice! Three Blind Mice!

Three Blind Mice! Go!

Guys, half your time has gone.

MUSIC BOX PLAYS

I think I know. And it's definitely Three Blind Mice?

No, it's not. I know it is.

It's a peacock. We're looking for a peacock, I think.

I just become a person running around like a madman.

I was just running around screaming "peacock" at one time.

Peacock! Peacock, yes!

That is incorrect. Peacock! No!

And it wasn't even a peacock.

That's a rooster, bro.

OK. Ten, nine...

..eight, seven, six...

Much better.

That is incorrect.

I'm sorry, guys.

BELL RINGS

THEY GROAN

It's OK. That was a hard one.

Guys, I'm so sorry you didn't get that right.

It wasn't Twinkle, Twinkle.

It was the Sugar Plum Fairy and you're looking for a hat.

A hat! Oh...

Oh, I found... Oh, God.

This is the last round. Enormous luck.

I want you to get this right.

Go and get ready so you don't miss a note.

All right, last one, guys.

We got this. Yeah.

Three, three, five...

..five, eight.

Matt, say it. I don't know it.

I'm just going.

Five, two, three, four, two.

THEY HUM TUNE

Eight.

Yeah. So, it's lullaby, isn't it?

# Da da da, da da da...

# Da da da, da da da da... #

There's a rocking horse in the bar!

In the bar! In the bar! In the bar!

I have never screamed "rocking horse" so loudly in my life.

It's there!

Go, go, go!

It's the correct answer.

ALL CHEER

Oh, my God.

Have they done it already? Find out, find out.

Four out of five times,

we were on the money.

Four correct items.

That is £8,000.

BELL RINGS

These missions, I think, are really nice moments

where it's kind of like that brief period of camaraderie

before we have to kind of make decisions at the round table

and before the Traitors do their work.

That was really fantastic. You inspired me, Ivan.

I will leave you so you can celebrate,

and then I will see you at the round table

when the first person is going to be banished.

It's there that you will individually get to vote

who you currently think is a Traitor,

and the person with the most votes

will be banished from the game for good.

Good luck. I'll see you later.

Ideally, at the round table,

I don't want anyone to mention my name unless it's in defence.

Everybody's going to be looking out for the Traitors, and this is me.

Like, they're going to be looking out for me.

I'm like, terrified to write someone's name down

because I'm, like, I could be putting up a Faithful

and throwing a Faithful under the bus, potentially.

Or, like, if I vote for one,

like, if you... You put a target on yourself, almost. Yeah. Yeah.

But I'm looking forward to actually putting my point across now.

Like, when the Traitors get to murder whoever they want,

but we can actually sit around that table

and state the facts.

The first round table,

it's mixed emotions, but I know that I'm going to lead with my head

and not my heart.

So there was a specific person that got outed by Theo yesterday.

Go on, then.

Imran.

I wanted to plant seeds.

I wanted people to think, "Oh, my God, they act like a Traitor,

"so they must be a Traitor."

I just can't chance having my name come up.

I feel like there's a lot of people

that are going to put that name on paper tonight,

and I'll be one of them. Mm.

For Imran? Yeah. Imran? Yeah.

Because the signs are there

and I've got to go from the only evidence we have.

I'll be honest with you, I'm kind of sharing heads with you,

like, I'm going to probably go with Imran.

Banish each other,

like, as long as it don't get turned and it says Will, that is it.

Like, another red flag for me, in a sense, is, like, Nicky.

I just feel like she's quite like closed off and stuff,

and I felt like that was probably like one of the few people

that I haven't really connected with.

This morning when she came in, and I watched her very carefully.

And she was crying when she came in. Yeah. Yeah, she was.

Yeah, but that doesn't... But...

No, no, no, that could be a sign of someone being a Traitor.

Like, Amanda, I think,

is probably one of the purest people I've ever met!

Yeah. And if she was given the role of Traitor,

I think she would literally come in the next morning,

and I think your emotions would...

I could - I don't think I... No... ..could go in the breakfast room.

I thought, "Yes, yeah. I wouldn't be able to do it."

I, I... I think it is, I think the Traitors are Nicky and Faye.

It might not be, but that's my gut instinct. Yeah.

There's names being mentioned and thrown around.

None of us know what's going to happen,

how it's going to go.

Everybody's very on edge.

It's intense, innit?

So intense.

A bit too intense.

There's three people

and there's one person that no-one else has named yet,

and I'm not going to say it,

but the other two people I thought from the beginning

are Fay and Imran.

That's the two people I thought straight away.

I just... And that's what everyone else is saying. I just don't know.

I still think it's Imran.

Fay I'm a bit 50/50 with

and I still think it's John, as well.

I've definitely considered both of them,

especially because Imran's been really quiet.

It's so early, and I do feel like I'm throwing stones in the dark.

So, right now I don't feel confident

voting a person out.

And who do you think, then?

Imran and Fay are my two.

Here he is!

Man, it's getting intense in there.

Everyone's talking about everything. It's crazy. Oh, I swear down...

Any minute now, our players are about to meet at the round table

for the first banishing.

They will debate,

they will discuss.

The question is, can the Traitors go undetected,

and will they lead their players rather brilliantly

to banish a Faithful by mistake?

I know this is bad of me, but I absolutely can't wait.

You don't know. I mean, you've got no idea who to vote for.

Nobody wants to go first.

Please, not me first. Please!

You need to be looking at who we think the Traitors are going to be.

We need to get one of them out tonight.

I feel really nervous going on to this round table.

Everybody's desperate to find the Traitor, and it's so intense.

I still genuinely don't have a clue

and I don't want to be the guy to, like,

send someone home.

This is The Traitors,

and we have to get rid of 'em.

Good evening, players.

What a day you've had.

Today you made £8,000

and your total in the prize fund is £23,000.

Now, I might have mentioned this -

the title of the show also might give it away.

There are Traitors in your midst,

and now is your chance to kick them out.

You will each get one vote for the person you would like to banish.

The person who receives the most votes will be banished immediately.

So, who are the Traitors?

Have you worked it out?

Do you have an idea?

It's up to you to dissect...

..to maybe accuse and to possibly defend.

What have you learnt about each other since you've arrived here?

It feels like a discussion needs to happen.

So...

..who would like to begin?

Does anybody feel really confident?

No. No, absolutely not.

I'm fairly confident.

I think that the person that it is does not want it to be them,

and I think they've struggled.

Which makes this a lot harder,

because they've been given the poisoned chalice.

For me, there's a couple of people,

and one's my head, and one's my heart.

I feel the same.

I've got two people in mind.

Their characters have changed

since I first met them and observed them.

I have to say I agree with you, there, Amanda,

in terms of, there are two that changed post this room last time.

It's been very difficult to detect any of the other Traitors,

but the only person that I've seen a huge change in...

..is you, Nicky.

You think I'm the Traitor?

So how have I changed from the very beginning?

I'd like to know. It's not just me saying it - other people are...

I mean, I'm sure there's other people that want a say.

I think there's going with gut feeling

and then there's going with evidence,

and I think this is what we're all struggling with.

However, when it comes to gut feeling,

I think this is something that takes time.

We haven't had the time.

Therefore, all we can do is go off evidence -

and, Nicky, I love you to death,

and I really respect you, like, I adore you.

Just the one thing is that when we all raised our glass

to the Faithful... Yeah. ..the other day, you didn't raise your glass,

and that's the only thing.

Do you know why?

Because it's to the right.

OK. It's to the right of me.

It's not natural for me to do that. OK.

I obviously know she's not guilty,

but I have to accuse her, and that's the aim of the game.

Can I just say something?

Yesterday, in that mission, you thrived.

You wanted to fight.

I haven't seen you want to fight here. Yeah.

Thing is, I do find that when you're sat at the table

and everyone's trying to talk,

everyone's talking at the same time, so I just back off,

and that, I feel, has transpired into me, "Oh, hang on,"

you've been suspicious of me

because you see that as a change in my personality.

There's lots of big personalities here.

So, if I start trying to shout out and go...

But you're also a very big personality.

Yeah you are... You don't sit back.

No, I'm just - you've asked me for my opinion.

You've all given yours.

So, let me say my piece now.

Um... You're wrong.

But, you know, you'll find that out if and when I go.

Where is this change?

What happened? Nobody elaborated

on what the change was.

I just think it was a bit of a cop out, to be honest.

They all just jumped on the bandwagon.

Genuinely, I just do not believe that it's Nicky, like 100%.

That's just me. So, I'm going to be honest.

I do just think it is Imran,

mainly because of, like, body language.

A couple of things that have just been said,

a couple of conversations.

Maybe it was just your nerves,

but equally these things are kind of lined up for me.

So that's why, like, that's where kind of I am with it.

Theo was very direct with Imran,

said about something about being a Traitor and looked at...

He didn't even say something,

you just... I just looked. ..gave one of your looks.

The way you responded was really... it was really uncomfortable,

and it was like...it was almost like, "Oh, my God, they know."

I don't really remember that, but I think, like, us young folk...

..don't make firm judgments without evidence.

What do you mean young people don't make judgments?

Everyone's got to write their name down on a card right now.

Are you just doing that randomly?

Because that seems more unfair than making judgments.

Well, I think we'll see which name he puts on there.

That doesn't make any sense to me.

Who are you thinking? Let him respond. Can I respond?

So I always like to give evidence behind a judgment that I make.

Um...

I feel like certain people have changed.

Personally, I haven't interacted too much with Nicky.

I was thinking more of Fay.

Fay is very critical.

She's always talking about other people as well.

That's just something I observed. That's just interesting,

now that your name's come into the flow, and Nicky.

And your name came into the flow for me at one point.

You do, you're giving intense looks.

I think we've all had them.

I've also observed Fay sowing seeds and commenting and saying things.

Mm. So my view is that you would only mention

these other people's names

in order to manipulate it.

And that's just how I see it.

That's interesting. Very interesting.

But I'm telling you now, I know I'm a Faithful.

OK. It is now time to vote.

Please write down the name of the person you would like to banish.

You have to remember that you don't really know these people.

The only way I can identify someone as being a Traitor

is if they're offish, or if they're a recluse.

Didn't know what to do.

Didn't know who to vote for.

This is making me very anxious to put someone's name down

and potentially throw someone under the bus

who is just a Faithful like me.

OK. Your votes have been locked,

and it's time to find out who will be the first

to be banished from the castle.

Andrea, you're going to go first.

Who do you believe is a Traitor?

Please reveal who you would like to go and why.

Well, it's not LIKE to go, I really think that's the wrong...wrong word.

I don't want anyone to go, and I really don't want Nicky to go,

but my reasoning was looking for someone

who could take the burden.

Alex.

Who are you going to banish and why?

I felt, coming in here, I hadn't seen enough of everyone

to really make a judgment,

but from what I've just seen at this table,

seeing accusations being made and how people defended themselves,

I think that gave me the answer I needed.

I think if you really were a Faithful,

I think you would have defended yourself a lot more convincingly,

and I'm really sorry that I voted for you, Nicky.

Aaron.

I just wanted to be, like, honest to myself

and who I, like, genuinely thought it was.

So I've gone with Imran.

That's two votes for Nicky, one for Imran.

Amanda.

Who are you banishing and why?

I'm going for Nicky, too.

Um... You haven't...

..behaved like, I suppose, I and a lot of us have instantly behaved -

and that might be you, um...

I'm so sorry. That's all right.

Nicky, who are you banishing and why?

I'm just sticking with what I first said,

and that was Fay.

Thank you.

So that's three votes for Nicky, one for Imran

and one for Fay.

Imran, who do you think is a Traitor, and why?

So, out of everybody, I think the person whose energy

has changed the most since the beginning...

..I wrote Nicky.

Sorry. No, don't be sorry.

Meryl, who have you voted for?

I'm really sorry, Nicky.

Will?

I voted for Nicky.

Hannah?

Nicky, if you're Faithful,

I don't know why you've played it this way.

I really, really don't.

Rayan?

With regrets, Nicky, I've put your name down.

Matt? Nicky, I think you're the Traitor.

Nicky.

Nicky.

It honestly is absolutely nothing personal at all.

I've also voted for Nicky.

I wrote down Nicky.

I'm sorry.

Nicky. And it's unbelievably hard to do this.

And for the final vote, John, please.

Well, it's no shock. It's exactly the same as everybody else's.

It's not personal.

It's Nicky.

Nicky, please come up here and join me.

# In your head In your head

# They are fighting... #

Nicky, you have been banished.

Before you leave the castle,

it's time to reveal if you're a Traitor or a Faithful.

I'd just like to say, you know what, it's a hard decision to make.

And it's not been very pleasant sat here.

However...

..you're all wrong, I'm a Faithful.

Oh, no.

Jesus!

# What's in your head? #

Nicky, they got it so wrong.

Thank you so much.

You now can leave the castle.

So, players, you banished an innocent Faithful.

Maybe you'll get a Traitor next time.

I'd say sleep well, but one of you will be murdered tonight.

I'll see the rest of you at breakfast.

How did we all get it so wrong?

I just thought it was Imran.

Everyone else just jumped on the bandwagon,

and then look at them all. They all just look like idiots now.

And I love them all to bits, but they did.

They made a mistake.

I feel so relieved.

There's not really any eyes on me at the moment.

I could just relax again and have another day.

# How will it feel when it's time to move on? #

I was looking at her stood there and I was like,

"I need you to be a Traitor."

Because I was convinced. I was convinced.

I was. And I looked at her when I walked in and I went, "Yeah."

I would've put my house on it... Money.

Yeah, me, too. ..that she was going to say...

I would've wore on my life it was her.

..I'm a Traitor. 100%.

And we all were, like.

When she stood on that circle and went, "I'm a Faithful,"

I felt like I'd been hit by a bus.

I was like, "How can so many people get it so wrong?"

I just think we need to channel this upset to actually...

Like, I'm just angry now. I'm angry, yeah.

Do you know what I mean? I'm mad at myself.

The fact that they get to meet again tonight.

The whole atmosphere of the round table is so difficult.

You know, as a Faithful or as a Traitor,

but especially as a Traitor, it is so difficult

and it is just so, so draining emotionally.

And I just, you know, welled up.

And then I was trying not to cry cos I was like,

"I'm going to be incriminating myself.

"People will think I'm looking guilty."

I'm just using this to spur me on now because I'm like,

"They're just watching that..." And laughing.

Yeah. In their little capes, thinking,

"Nobody's suspecting us."

I feel awful in the sense that I had to use genuine tears

and say that about the Traitors because I was purely lying.

But they were genuine tears for Nicky

because I did feel so much guilt.

But it's a game.

I have to do, you know, what I have to do as a Traitor.

Yeah, I know. It's just this is all really tough.

Everyone's going in on Nicky, right? And I was like, if anything...

Cos I was literally going to, like, just change the subject.

But everyone just kept going in.

I thought, "I'm not going to add to this

cos I've got nothing to say about Nicky.

I couldn't lie to myself.

I couldn't face looking at Nicky and making up some rubbish excuse

for why I think it's her when I don't think it's her.

I can't believe that. No.

How did we get that wrong?

Yes, it's gutting.

At least I was honest and I didn't stick someone up

that I didn't think was, like, true.

When everyone actually got in that room, though, finally,

I know a lot of other people were saying different names,

but as soon as people were in there pointing fingers,

everyone just jumped on the bandwagon.

Cos there's no way 95% of people thought Nicky straight away.

And you know that. And there's other people as well.

They said to me different names,

but in the last second they've changed it.

I knew walking in that I wanted to vote for Imran.

And then I remember just getting swayed and voting for Nicky.

I need to make sure now that, like, I think a little bit more

before I write someone's name down.

How did you feel when people, like, said your name, though?

I felt like crap, and that's what I tried to say.

I was like, "I like to have evidence,"

which I guess is very hard to have in this thing,

before I make a firm judgment.

Yeah, we need to make a call. But none of us have.

Evidently, the call I made today sucked.

People who were mentioning,

"Oh, you've said this sentence or you said that word,

"or you offended me by doing this."

It's all very, very petty things.

And none of those things actually prove or suggest

that I'm a Traitor. It's herd mentality.

If I go tomorrow, if I go tonight, whatever.

It's good to hear you vocalise passionately.

I'm going to keep to myself. I'm going to keep doing my stuff.

I'm going to keep smashing the missions.

We're going to keep putting in that prize pot.

And let's have a good time.

I don't know if it's just his personality,

but there's something not right - and I don't like it.

BELL RINGS

Oh, no!

All right? Love you. Love you.

When the castle clock strikes, that can mean only one thing -

everyone must leave the castle...

See you in the morning. Yeah, see you in the morning.

I love you lots. ..as the murdering hour is upon them.

Thank you for being a good friend.

Alex, if I don't see you tomorrow,

honestly, really wish we got to know you.

BELL RINGS

We had this tiny moment where we were together

for about ten seconds max.

Stay here. Stay here.

I'm worried that that might be the last moment we see each other.

And I didn't want that to be the end of our time in the game.

With everyone now departed,

the Traitors are free to return to the castle.

They've survived their first banishment.

And they're about to stack the odds even more in their favour

as they're deciding now which Faithful

will be dead by dawn.

When the gongs go off, I know that I'm going to have to murder

one of them.

Now it's definitely getting harder because I've built relationships

with these people and I don't want to see any of them go.

At the same time, that's the only way that I can win this.

Being a Traitor,

it is hard, you know?

It's harder than what you think.

I do feel guilty,

but it's for my family.

And to change my life.

What a night!

What a day! Oh!

The whole day. We've played it really well, though.

I'm exhausted.

I know. Emotionally, physically, everything.

I'm not going to lie, seeing Nicky go was difficult.

I found the round table much more difficult than this,

because this is easy. They don't it's us.

It's almost like a firing squad against you

in that round table. It really is. That's what it feels like.

The feelings I feel when I get upset are genuinely there.

Yeah, I cried. I literally cried.

And I had to blatantly turn it...

To be honest, it was difficult to do. I did feel bad.

But I think I sold it quite well. Yeah, you did. You did.

Everyone did.

What we've got to do -

I really believe that we have to leave

the targets that everybody are looking at still in.

Cos they'll get rid of them anyway.

If we get rid of Fay or Imran... Natural selection.

..like, then we're basically cutting our life short.

It needs to be someone that either Imran or Fay have mentioned

to someone at some point, but not an obvious one for them to go,

"Ah, they wouldn't get rid of that person. That's too obvious."

It's hard to be subtle about this.

I... Unless they're a serious threat to us...

Who? Who? Fay.

She's dropping everyone's name.

She's planting seeds, isn't she, to save her own skin?

Tom.

Mm.

I think we can keep him a little longer,

but he is on my radar. Yeah.

Ivan.

I like Ivan... I love him.

..for the challenges. Everything. He's so talented.

But I think people will believe he's a Traitor at some point.

But I think he can be useful. Yeah.

We need to think of the long run here. Yeah.

Therefore, we should probably keep him. Keep him in.

We need to think really logical. Five steps ahead.

So we need to think for the round table

to protect ourselves also. Yes, absolutely.

Right, so who's possible?

Aaron, maybe.

Where there's a clique, there's numbers.

And, you know, there's power in numbers.

It'll shock them. It's a shock factor we're looking for.

OK, so Aaron's possible. Possible. Aaron, possible.

Claire.

I think for multiple reasons. Yeah.

Everybody gravitates towards her.

She's quite a mother figure in there.

She's quite clued on.

She's leading...

Yeah, but after all of the things with her, I can make them all...

I can plant so many seeds in that little group.

Yeah, but I think it would disrupt the whole dynamics of it.

My whole strategy was befriend and betray, right?

But I think we should betray them when the right time is.

Alex?

I think she's a dark horse. Yes.

I think it's the quiet ones you need to watch out for.

Because I didn't really get to know her.

But how articulately she spoke at the round table,

I was like, "This girl's intelligent."

She's a possible for me.

I think she's a possible.

To me, if we get rid of one of them, that's perfect.

Alex, Aaron or Claire?

I'm agreed, yeah.

I think it'll work out best.

For every single one of us, there's a benefit.

For us to be powerful and us to stay here,

this decision needs to happen.

Better to give them confusion... Yes.

..than a strategy to follow.

Fellow Traitors...

..we are killing it.

Next time on The Traitors...

Oh, my God!

No-one's good at this game because no-one's found a single Traitor.

This is really starting to wind me up.

Let me finish.

I think that's showing that Wilf is a Traitor.

..get them before they get you.

I've fucked up.
