- ...on The Traitors.

- Oh my God, look — it's Paul Henry.

- 22 players were summoned...

- It looks very serious. - (CHUCKLES)

- You have shed all that you know and trust.

- This is going to be one hell of a ride.

- ...in order to compete...

- Go, go, go, go.

- Let's go, Britt.

- Bro, are you all right?

- ...in the game of a lifetime.

- Yes! - (CHEERS)

- (YELLS, GROANS)

- To the hunt.

- However...

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Massive plot twist.

- This means mayhem.

(CHUCKLES)

- ...they quickly learned how unpredictable...

- Jackie. - Jackie.

I was the deciding vote.

- ...and treacherous...

- How does a cow's lung feel like a hoof?

- ...this game can be.

- Sorry, Whitney. I'm voting for you.

- I absolutely wish I'd got him first.

- One by one...

- I am...

- Traitor.

- A traitor.

- ...a traitor! (CHEERING)

- ...they fell victim...

- I'm a faithful hunting traitors.

- I am a faithful.

- And I am a faithful. (ALL GROAN)

- ...to banishment

or murder...

- READS: Dear Janay...

- READS: Dear Wiremu.

- ...you have hereby been murdered.

- Murdered. - Murdered.

- Murdered.

- ...until only one traitor remained.

- I am gonna choose...

- But her plan to blackmail...

- ...Mark.

- I'm going to say no.

- ...backfired.

- Mark slipped me a note.

- And with Utah on the case...

- READS: I now suspect...

Jane.

- I'm a traitor. (CHEERING)

- ...the last of the original traitors was banished,

leaving Bailey to form a devious alliance with Siale...

- We have a job to do.

- ...who was quick to dispatch his faithful brethren.

- (GROANS)

- Betrayal would come easy, as next, Ben...

- Thanks for joining us. - Hey, bro. - (CHUCKLES)

- ...was seduced...

- Ben, I voted for you.

- I voted for Ben.

- ...and sacrificed.

- One day on the job... I'm a traitor.

- But for some faithful...

- You are telling me you don't remember having a conversation with me about blackmail at all.

- Only murder would silence their suspicions.

- And she's on to it more than anyone else. - Yes.

- She's dangerous.

- It's very expected.

- We're at the endgame, bro.

- And now, with yet another banished...

- Start to finish, I'm a faithful.

- Oh my God.

- ...who will claim my silver —

faithful or traitor?

(ETHEREAL CHORAL SINGING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN)

- It's just us, bro. We're the first.

- (EXHALES) - Played better last night.

- Holy crap. One, two, three, four, five.

Finals.

I am so proud that I've made it

up until this point,

as not only a faithful but as me.

Finals, finals, finals.

I honoured all my promises I made in a house full of lies.

That is so hard to do.

I didn't even know how to play the game, and I still don't, and I'm here at the grand final. (LAUGHS)

- I've spent seven hours preparing for today.

I've got some questions that need to be resolved.

In my notes is my association matrix, my investigative plan.

I'll be asking questions to my persons of interests.

And you're not on that list.

- I don't think I've been on anybody's lists. (BOTH LAUGH)

- Do you trust me today?

- (BLEEP!) We've gotten this far. - (LAUGHS)

- I know Jase trusts me.

But something is not right over there.

Jase has been so dominant, but he's never been like that.

He's always said what he's felt, but it's never been as assertive.

- I'm not gonna influence you. All I'm gonna say is just trust me.

- Well, I have this whole time. - Yeah.

- I'm so certain that the only person I can trust right now is Siale.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hold that thought.

Good morning! - Hello!

- Morning! - Hey! Oh, yup!

- Happy finals day. - Happy finals day. - Happy finals day.

- Three years ago, you would've never, ever, ever got me on a game like this.

Happy finals day! - (CHUCKLES)

- I was twice my size.

It had started to affect me mentally, and I wasn't OK with it any more.

How was your sleepover in the conclave?

- Oh, good, good. (CHUCKLES) - (LAUGHS)

- Why did you move that picture? - (LAUGHS)

I made a hard decision, and I chose to have weight-loss surgery.

- Look at these little treaties. - I know!

And here I am, three years on, 80kg less —

literally half the woman that I used to be, but double in confidence.

We made it to another breakfast. (LAUGHS)

Absolutely living my best life, and now to be on this game and so close to actually winning...

I can't get this wrong.

- How are you, bro? - Good. - We made it to another breakfast.

- We made it. - Made it.

It's anyone's game.

- Far out. Here we are.

- I want to win for my family. It's four kids at home, beautiful wife.

I just so want to do them proud.

Top five. - Yeah, top five!

- We're still here, baby. - Still here.

- Oi, and you know what? The amount of actors that we had in here. - Stop!

Are you one? - Yeah.

I acted straight half my life. (LAUGHTER)

- Joe is probably the one person that I feel really torn about because he's got such a big heart.

I feel gutted that I have to, at some point today, pull the wool over Joe's eyes.

- Do you know what I'm looking forward to?

Is getting to know the traitors in real life,

when they don't have to act and put on their deceit and stab people in the back, Jase.

- I got you, I got you.

- It's the final push to the end, and it will all be over so, so soon.

I don't want to walk away

feeling like I should've fought harder

or I should've done something different.

I just have to stick to my guns.

- Before I went to bed, like, I was, like, trying to think like a traitor.

I couldn't even think of it because honestly, I don't think I have, like, the mental space to do that.

I thought, Joe, you need a lay a trap.

You need to make the traitors feel guilty for everything that's happened in the house.

I feel like a traitor would have to constantly tell themselves, oh, it's just the game to get through it.

Yes, this was a game, but the things that were real

were all those people that were crying, friends turning against friends.

Honestly, that wasn't— that wasn't a game. That was for real.

Girl, you should have seen Miss Bailey Betty Boop over here.

She was sitting there like...

She couldn't even look up.

Jase was in the corner of my eye.

He was rocking back and forth. He even tried to cut me off.

You know, if somebody was to fight,

and I knew I was the traitor, I'd be like—

- I... - Stop, stop. 'It's me, it's me.'

The end. Thank you so much. Class dismissed.

Those are the traitors.

- Oh! - Good morning, chickadees. - Good morning, Paul.

- Let's talk about today.

Firstly, I want you all to make the most of it.

12 days ago, you arrived here. There were 22 of you. Now there are five.

If your aim was to make it to the end, you've done it. Most haven't.

And I'm proud of you all.

There is $53,000 in silver in the prize pool,

and today's final mission is a special favourite of mine.

You will separately face a personal challenge.

There's $4000 up for grabs... each.

That's a possible $20,000 to add to the prize pool today

and just in time for one or more of you to take it home.

I will communicate your tasks to you individually shortly.

It will challenge you, perhaps even push you to the limit. - Oh no.

- Traitor or faithful, this will be a big day, but you've come this far. I wish you well. Take care, players.

- Oh!

How many more personal challenges are you gonna put me through?

- This is going to be epic today, eh. - It's gonna be wild.

- We'll go have a catch-up. (EXHALES)

- How are you? - Oh, I'm all right.

- You're all right? - Yeah.

- I was reflecting on last night at the round table. - Yeah.

How did you feel when I was pressing you?

- How did I feel? I felt like you were attacking me. - Yeah.

- Last night at the round table, Jase's questioning me about

why I have cried at different points during this game.

And is it me just bringing on my tears?

- But what happened when I did that... - Yeah.

- ...it pulled out something. - OK.

- I basically accused her of being a liar, and I just wanted to see her natural response.

When Brie attacked you... - Yeah.

- I saw the same thing. - Yeah.

- I saw the fire in your eyes. - LAUGHS: Oh, man.

- The last time I seen fire in eyes like that was my wife's. (BOTH LAUGH)

That's why I know you're a faithful. - Yeah.

- 100%. - OK.

On one hand, I believe him.

On the other hand, I am 50/50 because I am questioning everything after the last couple of days.

- I'm gonna ask you one thing, and I'm not gonna tell you who to vote for.

- Yeah, yeah. - All I'm gonna say is just trust me.

- Yeah. - Trust me with your heart like I trust Joe.

- Oh my goodness.

- I've taken a risk this morning and asked two people to trust me,

but I have a plan to catch the traitors.

If you don't take the big risks, you don't win the rewards.

- It's gonna be tough tonight.

You know? We've got to put people's names up.

- So prove yourselves to me, cos everybody knows I'm faithful.

- Do they? - Yeah, they do. I got nothing to prove.

Hurry up. Who is it? - What do you want me to say?

- Bailey, Bailey, Bailey.

I know what she's up to, little girl.

For once, I'm certain — she's a traitor.

So why did you suspect Jase and Donna yesterday?

- Because why am I still here?

I have got out like the last three traitors. - Yeah.

- Donna and Jase have been my two people this whole time.

- Bailey is a dangerous player. She's my biggest threat.

I've seen how she turned on Donna.

I don't trust what she's gonna do tonight.

Do you know what could look bad as well is that you had to know who the traitors are.

Do you know what I mean? - Of course, but I had my theories on these people for days,

like days and days, and I put them out to people.

- But at the same time, I can't just go out right for her because I haven't said a name once.

So I need other people to put her name out there.

And I feel like that's already happening.

- Like, no offence. Like, you're back on my radar.

- We're all on everyone's radar.

- And there's tiny things on everyone, you know what I mean?

But then you just think about, what have they done to get to this point? - Mm.

- Part of me was like, if we win, I'd share the money with Siale,

and we would be, like, besties, and it would be so good, and we'd like skip off with our winnings.

- Do you think there's two or there's one? - Two — has to be two.

- Has to be two. - Has to be two.

- But, yeah, I don't trust him.

And now it's the final day. Like, I'm so close to the end, and I could win it all.

- Who are you leaning on today?

- In my perfect, ideal situation,

tonight at the round table, Siale would get banished.

That means I am the sole traitor left in this game.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- BAILEY: It's the final day. It's the final mission.

There is $20,000 up for grabs today.

- SIALE: I'm genuinely excited about going into my final mission.

I love the missions. They're crazy. They're out there. They're full on.

- All I know right now is I want that $4000.

- This is the final day. This is the final mission.

Let's go.

- Go. Let's go. Let's get it going.

- PAUL ON RECORDING: Hello, finalists.

You've all arrived at individual locations,

and you each have an opportunity to win $4000.

I've chosen a different mission for each of you —

missions that will test your limits

and push you well out of your comfort zones.

- (LAUGHS)

- Bailey, you'll be locked and bound in the coffin before you.

Free yourself and escape before making your way through the manor's sewage tunnels.

- Oh, God.

- Locate and ring the bell hidden at the far end.

Jason, gear up and forward-facing abseil down the cliff in front of you to the forest floor.

Once you've reached the bottom, turn around and climb back up to the top.

Please don't let me down.

- Yeah, I'm good to go.

- Oh, Donna. Unfortunately, our resident manor mouse has met his maker.

- This is disgusting.

- Please perform a dissection, removing the heart, lungs and intestines.

Once complete, please return those organs back inside the mouse and stitch him up.

Siale, I know insects are your absolute favourite.

Please have a five-minute siesta in my spare bedroom.

But do remain as still as you can.

- (GROANS)

- Once you are energised from all that rest,

pop your head in my memory box,

where you'll recite in order every player who's been murdered and banished from my game.

But watch out for the crickets.

- (GROANS) That's disgusting.

- Ah, Joe.

Remove the cloche to your left.

I want you to consume all five shots of hot sauce.

Some will no doubt be spicier than others.

Once you've guzzled all five shots, please pick yourself five chillies from my chilli plant and eat them.

- You can do it, Brucey.

- You will all have 30 minutes to complete your missions. Good luck.

- On this bed, honestly, it is disgusting.

This is gross.

It looked like a million trillion flies had just come to have their final days on it.

(YELLS, GROANS)

Oh! Oh, yuck!

That's so (BLEEP) disgusting.

Oh! Ah.

And it was an old bed. It looked like someone had died there, honestly.

(LAUGHS WRETCHEDLY)

- BAILEY: I have to get myself out of a coffin.

Just so much rope. Like, so much rope.

It's around my body. It's around my arms. I can feel it around my feet.

OK, no, that's tightening it. Shit. OK.

I'm terrified.

My time is being eaten up right now.

(RATTLING)

- How do I get into this mouse?

To me, pulling apart a mouse —

this is already gross.

Right, that's the intestines, I'm pretty sure.

(RETCHES)

Yuck.

- Yeah. This is good fun.

Let's go.

When I go down, and going face first, I just had to remember how to work the rope.

It'd been a while. It took me back 20 years.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- OK.

I don't even eat spicy food.

(GULPS)

The first glass of chilli isn't that bad,

like, giving sweet chilli vibes. I think I can get through this.

Then we go to the second one.

(COUGHS)

Oh!

That's already my limit right there.

Oh my God.

It's getting so hot, my mouth is starting to burn.

Oh, what. I need Jesus.

- The ropes are still pretty tight around me.

It's literally so— OK. Four numbers.

But I figured I'll open the coffin, and then I'll get to work on the rest when I can, like, stand.

All right. Oh my God. OK.

Firstly, the word 'your'.

"It's".

I saw at my feet the word "it's".

So, it's "it's your"...

It's your... birth year.

Perfect. So it's 1995.

GROANS: OK.

PUFFS: OK.

- I think I have my heart, my lungs and my intestines.

Now I have to put him back together again.

- LAUGHS: Oh, get out.

Gross. This is so gross.

(ALARM CLOCK RINGS)

(GROANS)

As soon as the time is up, bam! I jump straight out, and I'm trying to wipe the stuff off me.

My stomach is like... (RETCHES)

- I can't even explain it.

And it's just getting hot, hot, hot.

And I'm like, 'Joe, hurry up.

'The faster you can do it, the faster you can get out.'

(RETCHES)

Oh!

- Oh, here we go.

I think that I could've had a more delicate landing, (LAUGHS) in a sense.

Yeah, at the bottom.

- What happens next is you got to put your head through this box.

It's gonna have creepy crawlies around my head.

(YELLS)

And then I've got to remember the whole list of murders and banishment right from day one.

Janay was killed was killed first up — murder.

Then we voted out Terry.

And then Wiremu.

Andrew. (LIGHT BUZZES)

And then... Oh.

This is not good.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- I just see full lumps of what looks like vomit.

OK.

It freaked me out a bit, to be honest.

(WHIMPERS) Ew.

- I'm just trying to see where my puku can fit in.

Going back up is harder because you're using upper body strength.

Well, here we go.

134kg is a lot to try and chin up there, and I haven't trained for years.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- One more.

Don't tap out. You've already come this far.

(GUZZLES, RETCHES)

I finish the last cup of chilli sauce.

(GROANS)

(RETCHES)

My mouth is on fire already.

And now I've gotta eat (BLEEP) five of these.

So I pull the tree over.

And I pull all the chillies off.

Oh, there's three different kind.

Is green hotter than red?

Oh, shit.

Bloody chilli is more hotter than the sauce.

(RETCHES)

Do not vomit. Like, tell yourself this, Joe — 'you're not gonna vomit.'

Oh, it's so ugly.

(RETCHES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- Um, when you think about all those people that were there on day one,

and now you think there's only five of us here on day 12,

I certainly didn't think I'd get this far.

Not in a million years.

And we banished... Jack— Jackie.

Yes!

- I'm finishing this job off for the faithfuls,

for all the faithfuls that have gone.

- Andrew.

- For the faithfuls that were murdered.

- Brie.

- (GRUNTS)

That's what I'm doing it for.

- I am making headway.

The end is nearly here,

and it is the time

for us to actually celebrate some wins.

- Whitney.

- A couple more stitches.

This really is the last chance to make some extra silver for the pot.

- Banished Mike. (BUZZ!)

Shit!

This experience has taught me...

(BLOWS RAPIDLY)

...that it's really hard deceiving people.

- (SIGHS)

Go.

I owe it to every single faithful who came through those doors

to make sure that a traitor doesn't win this money.

(BLEEP) sake.

OK. (CRUNCHES)

- Murder — Britt.

Yes!

Stephen.

- And I am a faithful.

- Banished Mike.

- Yes! Whooo!

- Come on.

- Oh my God. My butt's not gonna fit.

I'm getting a little bit more stressed about the lying,

because I got thrust into this role. (CHUCKLES)

- Mark.

- I spent so many days building up such good trust with lots of people.

Oh my God, I can see the bell.

Then you have to just fall into this whole other character.

OK. (JANGLES BELL)

- Banished Jane.

- I'm a traitor. (CHEERING)

(CLOCK TICKS)

- Whoo!

- You really do get sleepless nights about the things that you've said to people.

Murder — Utah.

(EXCITED LAUGHTER)

About lying.

Molly.

Deceiving.

Ben.

Murdering.

Cat.

All to give me an opportunity to win.

- Let's tie you off.

Here we go mousey mousey. Look at that.

- (SIGHS) Last one.

(RETCHES) Whoa!

(EXHALES)

I did it, I did it. Oh my gosh — five.

- Banish — the first Noel.

I feel quite depleted, actually, like it's the highs and lows, eh.

Yeah, there's so many people that you've been hanging out with them the whole time, and you just forget,

um, because you're trying to play the game, and you get right here to the last day and...

Yeah.

It's tough.

I'm just glad to have that done and now look to the round table.

(GENTLE REFLECTIVE MUSIC)

- Players...

apologies for all of that unpleasantness,

but with a possible $4000 each on the line, I needed to up the ante today.

Siale, recalling the fallen proved a bit of a tear-jerker for you.

- Yeah, you take each day as it comes, and then when you have a moment

to remember all those people that have played the game, it was super tough. Yeah.

- And Joe, you were brought to tears for different reasons. (LAUGHTER)

How's your tummy? - I don't know if it's the chillies,

or if it's the baby. (LAUGHTER)

- Well, congratulations, players.

You've now added a further $20,000 to the prize pool. - Yee-hoo!

- The total is now $73,000.

- (CHUCKLES) - Wow.

- So, but today is all about the money.

- Yup. - But to win, you must survive.

You are almost there.

It's time to steel yourselves for one final banishment at the round table.

I will see you there, players.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

- I need to talk to Donna desperately

if my plan is going to be put into motion.

- OK, I will just tell you where my head is at.

When I was going back through and reflecting, I started trusting you on day two.

We've had our ups. We've had our downs.

Even though she wrote my name down at the round table,

I think that she is faithful.

- Last night, it was you because I couldn't vote for Jase.

(LAUGHTER)

- I totally get it.

Surely from day two to now, I would have doubted it if she is a traitor.

I can promise you right now, your name is not going down on my thing at all.

- My original plan is actually looking like it could play out, I think.

What are you going?

- I want to vote whatever you vote.

Because then at least us two, if we stick the same,

people can think we are or we're not, but at least we're together. - Yeah, yeah. OK, Perfect.

I am certain that Donna trusts me.

Me and her — we have a plan, and we're gonna push for it together.

The scenario would be myself and Donna

getting right through to the bitter end.

- If you're a traitor, I applaud you. - (LAUGHS) Right back at you.

- But there's no one else that I would rather be with in the final two, so that's me.

- Yeah, I agree.

- I just hope that I have this right on Bailey.

I really, really do.

- So I'll talk to Jason. - Yeah.

- JOE: Siale!

Come here, come here. Siale, you already know I trust you, you trust me.

The traitors — (WHISPERS) It's Jason and Bailey. Come.

- The more that people are really intently looking at each other,

you've got to think about, who is the person that I want to take with me to the end,

who doesn't suspect me at all?

Who will I think will support me when there's just two of us?

- You know my speech this morning. - Yep.

(BREATHES SHAKILY) - Oh.

That person could potentially be Joe.

- Them two were, like, squirming. She wasn't talking.

- No, she wasn't, really. - And he was like rocking forth, trying to cut me off. It's them.

Just trust me. - All right. - (EXHALES HEAVILY)

Me, Siale and Utah — we made a pact. It was on God, on family.

On God, on family. - On God, on family.

- Utah's our family, right? - Yeah, hard.

- I just know he's innocent. Like, I know he's a faithful.

(MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC)

- JASON: Hey. How you going?

I think Bailey's playing the same game as me —

be the good person and the unassuming one.

- You have a piece of paper? - Oh, yeah. Those are my questions. - Yeah.

- 'That would keep the heat off her.'

Why did you pick... Donna? - Donna?

Because yesterday was my whole, like, 'Oh God, it's Jason or Donna.'

- 'I thought it was weird yesterday, but I just think she's lying.'

- And you had the dagger, and I didn't want my vote...

- Yeah. - ...to be, like, a wasted vote. - Yes.

- If I voted for you, you've got the power.

- 'I don't think she's telling the truth.'

She made the decision to vote against her friend.

- I talked it out with Donna, and I feel like it was OK.

- When she was writing it down, the tears started coming down her eyes.

- That was the only theory I had yesterday. (CHUCKLES) - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Those are the telltale signs that I'm looking at.

I think Bailey has been a great traitor,

but I've seen some of the cracks starting to shine.

(CURIOUS MUSIC)

- So, who's your first name? - Bailey. - Really?

- Yeah, cos I'm so certain of it. So certain of it.

- Oh my goodness.

- Donna. Oh my gosh.

- OK.

- How can you be that delulu?

- I just don't wanna be blinded again. - Yeah.

Do you know what? I feel like she needs you to, like, be up there,

just you and her, so she can hoodwink you. Truthfully.

And if you're an analytical woman, analyse, girl.

You use those skills and analyse.

That's what I feel. It's up to you. - OK.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- You reckon?

Really? - Yeah, it's Siale.

- Do you reckon? - Yeah, bro.

100%.

Joe's stressed, because he wants to honour the treaty,

and he doesn't wanna believe that Siale is it, so that's why I showed Joe the evidence.

READS: Siale denied conversation took place.

- What was their conversation? The blackmail?

- 'Would you take blackmail?' That's what you said. And you are telling me you don't remember

having a conversation with me about blackmail at all. - I don't actually remember

having that conversation.

- One of them's lying, and it ain't Cat.

She went cold on Siale. Why? Why did she get cold on him?

- Oh (BLEEP).

I don't know.

- Joe...

couldn't deny it.

- All that points to Siale.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(GROANS FRUSTRATEDLY)

(BLEEP)!

(INTENSE, OMINOUS MUSIC)

I'm super grateful to be in this position.

I came to represent the Pacific communities.

All the fabulous boys

who never, ever get to...

express themselves — I hope I can win for them,

because any win for me is a win for all those people,

for everybody else.

(DARK, INTENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(MUSIC BUILDS)

(MUSIC FADES)

- And there it is —

your collective endeavours at my manor,

the handsome sum of $73,000.

One of you — or some of you —

will take away all of this money tonight.

Soon, your number will dwindle to four.

This is your final opportunity...

to fight for survival.

What will convince the faithful around you

that you should be there at the end?

Because as you know only too well,

if just one traitor remains at the end of this game,

they will take it all.

(DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

Who will kick off our final round table?

(MUSIC BUILDS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Who will kick off our final round table?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- When I got up this morning, I thought to myself,

'How do traitors get through this?'

They tell themselves it's a game

to justify every single thing that has happened in here.

(SIGHS) The people that have been justifying it as a game is you, Jase...

and you, Bailey.

I applaud you for everything that you guys have done as traitors.

Cat said to me,

'Joe, you will figure it out, and I'm trying to protect you.'

And this is so out of my nature to address people who are older than me like this.

I believe she was trying to protect me from you, Jase.

Today...

Donna, you didn't ask me to trust you.

Siale, you didn't ask me to trust you.

Jase...

you asked me to trust you.

Why?

- I'll tell you why.

Cos as the faithfuls, we've gotta trust who we think are the faithfuls.

I've got nothing to hide. If you think it's me, then vote me.

And I'm happy to walk out here right now.

But you will waste your vote.

And I look at facts. I'm a watcher. I've watched everything.

And I know who the faithfuls are in here.

And I've only asked you once to trust,

and I only asked two people who I believe are faithfuls.

I believe... Donna's a faithful.

And I believe Joe's a faithful.

I never tried to ever swing your vote. What I'm trying to say is I'm showing you some facts.

And Joe, today, I shared with you for the first time

who I think the traitor is,

and I've held it, because...

I didn't want to believe it.

And that's you, Siale.

Traitors lie.

And the key is Cat.

We know that Cat's a faithful. She has no reason to lie.

And I'm struggling to believe that you can't recall that conversation with Cat.

I'm saying that you are holding back.

You're not being truthful with us.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You lied!

(SOMBRE, UNEASY MUSIC)

- I've said this many times.

I don't remember having that conversation with her.

- Siale. On God and on what?

(TENSE MUSIC RISES)

- Family.

- Siale, the only thing I have noticed since your name has come up, like, two days ago,

was last night after Noel left. (SIGHS)

Everyone else was kinda, like, sad and defeated, and you just...

you looked like you'd gone in on yourself. - Nah. In on myself?

Bailey's gunning for me. She's a quiet assassin, eh,

so she just lays little morsels for people to pick up on.

- Siale, but I have to agree with Bailey. I did see a change in you. - But like Donna, yes,

I'd been hounding that poor little kid... for ages. - Yeah.

- I was gutted.

I was absolutely gutted. Like...

What do you want— What do you want me to say?

- I'm just saying — you're the only one that looked just, like... (SIGHS)

- I have to go for Bailey. It's important. I need to get through this.

'Bailey and Jase.'

This is the thing that I don't understand about you two.

Right back when we were calling traitors out —

we were doing the homework, evidence, all that sort of stuff —

everyone was like, 'Yep, it's Mike,' or, 'Yes, it's Whitney.'

Mark picked you two out, and yes, he said it was based on...

- Our votes. - ...the vote count.

- We were the only two who hadn't voted for a traitor.

- All of a sudden, your gameplay started to get really, really good.

- It did, because I just started, like, going with my gut and not coming into this room, and, like—

- But that's the thing. Both of you— - Can I also— Just while we're talking about you, Bailey,

can I ask — did you come in with my name last night? Or did you change when you were in here...?

- Guilty. Guilty! - BAILEY: I started yesterday—

- She guilty. Come on, Bailey! - I started—

- Bailey. Miss Little Bo Peep guilty Bailey.

- Joe, you haven't let me speak, like, this entire experience. - Here's your turn.

Come on, Miss Guilty. - Thank you.

I came— Yesterday— - When you came in last night—

Last night at round table, when you came in... - Yes, yes.

- You already looked defeated.

- Because at this point, when we got down to six... - Yeah.

- ...we realised, like, how little this group was, right? And we knew we had to start looking.

- Yeah. - And you had said, 'Why am I here?'

And I was like, 'Shit, why am I here?'

Is someone keeping me here? Because, like, we've had amazing times. - Yeah.

- And so yesterday, I thought...

I needed to look at my two closest people. That meant Jase and Donna.

So... - Are you saying that one of these two is a traitor?

- Yes. That was my thought yesterday.

So, Jase had the double vote. And if I voted for Jase,

my vote wouldn't have, like, really counted for anything.

- Oh, Bailey, we know you're a traitor. Like, give it up.

Like, you're not even fighting for your life. You're fighting for the money.

- Joe, I have, like, so much to say to you.

- Well, come on, girl. - One — OK, you have said this entire time, right?

You have stood up. You have given your speeches, and you talk about honesty and integrity.

- Mm-hm.

- Do you think you have shown integrity every time

you've sat around this table and just pointed at two people... with, like, very little evidence,

and then five minutes later, afterwards, you're just like, 'Oh, yeah, sorry.'

- It wasn't like that.

- I'm sorry.

- Oh, are you thinking I'm a traitor? OK.

- I don't think you show integrity, and that is, like, a doubt,

cos you've just preached it this whole time.

- Who do you think you are for me to prove myself to you? Absolutely nobody.

- Right back at you. - I didn't ask you to prove anything to me.

- You are. You're just screaming that I'm a traitor, and I'm not.

- And just like that,

our little chats are over. - (SIGHS) - (SIGHS)

- It's time for you to vote. Please write the name down of the person you want banished from the game.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Has everyone locked in their votes?

Bailey, we'll start with you.

- There's definitely a few people I don't trust around this table,

but I voted for Siale, because I feel like you just...

randomly brought my name into it today. I don't trust that.

- Siale.

- Tonight, I voted for you, Bailey.

You've played a great game, mate.

Super sweet.

Deadly.

- Joe. - Tonight, I voted

for Bailey.

- Donna.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

- I... (CLEARS THROAT)

adore you all in the room.

And I know outside of this, we'll all be friends.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

I'm so sorry, Siale.

- So... that's two votes for Siale

and two votes for Bailey.

Jason, you have the deciding vote.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS, CRESCENDOES)

- Siale, I voted for you, bro.

(BROODING MUSIC)

- SIGHS: Ahh!

So close. So close.

What a game. Honestly, what a game.

- I believe Cat. I think she was telling the truth.

And the truth is what sets us free.

- Gutted, bro.

Yeah, you win some...

and you lose some. (CHUCKLES)

- Writing Siale's name down on a plate was the hardest thing I had to do.

But I'm here to do a job.

- Siale, you have the most votes and are banished from my game.

Please leave in silence immediately.

There will be no discussion.

At this, the 11th hour of the game,

the banished will no longer reveal their true identities.

- I feel gutted that Paul didn't give us closure about Siale.

It would've confirmed my theory,

but I've gotta push through and move on to Bailey now.

- I would now like you all to come with me to the fire pit.

- BAILEY: I feel really good that Siale's gone, but honestly,

I don't even know what's gonna happen next. Like, it could be me who's out.

The pressure is immense.

We've all contributed to that prize pool, but I feel like I deserve it.

(TENSE, EXPECTANT MUSIC)

I'm just hoping that Donna's gonna do exactly what she said.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

- I'm stoked I got this far.

This game, it's probably one of the most complex psychological battles

that you have to endure.

Can't rely on anyone. They can switch at any time, but I think I've nailed it.

I know that Bailey is the traitor.

I just need Donna and Joe to trust me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- JOE: Look, I know I'm easily misled, but...

all I can go off is how I perceive people.

(GROANS) My gosh, this is mayhem.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- This is it.

This really is the end game.

I want to be able to...

trust Bailey, but I am so unsure on...

which way to go.

(MUSIC CRESCENDOES)

(TENSE, EERIE MUSIC)

- Bailey, Joe...

Jason, Donna,

you are my final four,

and that...

is $73,000.

I'm entirely happy to end the game now. Are you?

I'm putting the decision into your hands.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

If you're all faithful, you will receive an equal share of the silver.

If, however, there is still a traitor amongst you,

they will get all the money.

- The only person that I trust

is Siale,

and Siale's not there.

I just know in my heart that Bailey and Jase are the traitors.

Win or lose...

I'm sticking to that.

- Oh, I'm feeling...

like, shaky and full of adrenaline.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

- Next to each of you is a chest.

Inside are two ceremonial pouches —

one labelled 'end game'...

the other 'banish again'.

If just one of you chooses to banish again, then you will all have to vote.

So what will it be?

End the game...

or banish again?

(TENSE, PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

You need to choose now.

- Jase made it clear that he's probably gonna vote me out.

Joe's obviously gunning for me, so, yeah, my confidence is definitely slipping.

- Bailey.

Joe.

Jason.

Thank you, Jason. And Donna.

Thank you.

When I throw your pouches into the fire,

if all four pouches burn green,

the game ends now.

If one or more burn red...

we banish again.

Bailey, I'll start with you.

Bailey, you have voted to banish again.

Joe, let's see what you voted.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You have also voted to banish again.

Donna.

And you have also voted to banish again.

Finally, Jason.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

It's a clean sweep.

I would like you to pick up your chalk and slate

and write down the name of the person

that you wish to banish from the game.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS, CRESCENDOES, FADES)

Jason, we'll start with you. Who did you vote for?

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Bailey.

- Bailey, who did you vote for?

- Joe.

- Donna.

Please reveal who you voted for.

- Sorry, Joe.

- Where's the logic? I've proved to her 10 times over that I'm faithful.

- Thank you, Donna. And finally, Joe.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- Tonight, I voted for...

Jase.

- Joe, you have received the most votes.

- JASE: Joe got emotional and lost faith in me.

When you try and play this game with emotion, you get taken advantage of.

Unfortunately for Joe, he missed out, cos I know he was a faithful.

- Please, in silence — you're banished from the game. Goodbye.

- All I've ever had

was my intuition,

and that was the one thing that I followed.

- BAILEY: I was 100% sure

that Joe was going to vote for me,

and I don't know why he switched to Jase.

- So, now...

it's three.

Inside your chests, the ceremonial pouches. Please make your choice.

Do we banish again, or do we end the game?

- I know that Bailey is the traitor,

and I could see Donna fighting with her inner conscience.

- It's down to Jase, Bailey and I,

and my plan is...

to try and work out, in those moments, what is true.

(DRAMATIC, EPIC MUSIC)

- Bailey, I'll start with you.

Thank you.

Donna.

Thank you. And Jase.

Thank you.

Donna. Let's start with you.

You voted to banish again. Why?

- I'm unsure of my decision, but I still think there is a traitor.

- Very well.

Jason.

(OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

And you have also voted to banish again. Why?

- I know the traitor's still here. - You know the traitor is still here?

(DARK MUSIC)

Bailey.

- We are here. The final moment is here.

Everything is at risk.

- Well, you've all chosen to banish again. Please pick up your chalk

and your slate and write down the name of the person that you want banished from the game.

(TENSE, DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Have you all locked in your votes?

- I'm nervous now that Joe — and Jase, really —

may have swayed Donna.

- I feel so, so much pressure right now on me that...

(SIGHS) I'm nervous, but I'm excited.

I hope I'm right.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

- Have you all locked in your votes?

- I'm nervous now that Joe — and Jase, really —

may have swayed Donna.

- The final moment is here.

I hope I'm right.

- Then Jason, I'll start with you. Please reveal who you want to banish from the game.

- Bailey.

(DARK, DRAMATIC MUSIC RISES)

- Bailey, whose name is on your slate?

- Jase.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

- So, Donna,

the fate of this game...

lies in your hands.

Whose name is on your slate?

- Literally all comes down to Donna.

If Donna has written my name, then her and Jase win the game.

(DRAMATIC, EPIC MUSIC CRESCENDOES)

- Jase.

(EPIC, PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

- Jason, you have received the most votes. You are banished from the game.

Please, in silence, leave.

Thank you, Jason.

- It was never about the money for me.

It was about the objectives. I know I got them all.

- Donna, Bailey, please, both of you, come and join me.

(SOFT, INTRIGUING MUSIC)

As there are now only two of you left, I am ending my game.

Donna, please reveal —

are you a faithful or a traitor?

- I'm faithful.

- (SIGHS) I'm standing there, and I just...

I see Donna, and she's smiling at me, and I'm trying to give her

the same smiles I've given her for the past... 12 days.

- Thank you, Donna.

Bailey, please reveal — are you a faithful or a traitor?

Whatever happens, I look like the bad guy, and I want people to know

that I'm not, and...

I didn't choose this.

Cos I'm a traitor.

(DRAMATIC, EMOTIVE MUSIC)

- (SOBS) - Sorry, Donna.

This is my worst-case scenario.

I did not wanna be standing here with Donna... as a traitor.

I would much have preferred to win this game as a faithful with Donna.

(SOFT, SOMBRE MUSIC)

- The one thing I did not wanna do was to be a fool, and I just have been, and I am so hurt.

- You know, Donna, that hasn't happened.

You have made it right to the end of this game.

You have played this game spectacularly.

- I trusted Bailey,

and...

I was wrong.

I made a wrong call.

I feel as though I should have seen it. I should've listened to those around me.

I should have trusted... Jase.

But I will also take a moment.

I was me authentically.

I held my integrity high the whole way. I did not have to lie.

And what an experience.

- Bailey, you have just won...

$73,000. - I know!

(EPIC, TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)

- This game finds those who deserve to win.

You should be standing next to your money, not me.

- I don't even know what I'm gonna do with the money. Like...

Maybe a new car.

Oh my God, a holiday.

- So, there are a lot of emotions now.

- So many. So many.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- And on the surface, you don't look like someone who is thrilled...

- (LAUGHS) - ...to have succeeded so amazingly well in all the adversity.

- Oh, it's just... (SNIFFLES) I don't know how this happened. Like, this was not the plan.

I just wanted to come for an experience.

I wanted to do a couple of missions, (CHUCKLES) see if I could do it.

I'm so proud of myself for just, like, pushing through,

cos today was hard.

Um...

But I did it.

- The game is called The Traitors. - I know. (LAUGHS) - And you are victorious.

The ultimate traitor.

- Oh my God. (SNIFFLES, SIGHS) What a title. (CHUCKLES)

- Come with me. Let's go and have a drink. - OK, let's go.

(WARM, TRIUMPHANT MUSIC)

- Congratulations, you. - Thank you. (CHUCKLES)

Oh my God. - You've worked hard to earn that money, just like all those

other people worked really hard to lose it. (GUFFAWS)
