22 strangers from all corners of New Zealand have been summoned to my stately southern

manor to play the ultimate game of deception in the hope of winning up to $100,000 in

solid silver. They'll have to work as a team, braving formidable missions in a bid to build

the prize pool. But concealed among them are the traitors who will secretly murder their

fellow players under the cover of darkness. So it falls to the faithful to determine who the

traitors are. I'm coming for you tonight and then you tomorrow. I'm doing the work that you guys

aren't doing. Oh, you're the hero. Watch your back, people are coming after you. I am 100%

faithful. And banish them. Before they become the next victim. This is what the traitors are

trying to do. Pick off the strong ones. This is a game of deceit. You lied to my face. Cunning.

My guides are telling me it's you. Skill and murder. This is the traitors.

I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I

got you, I got you, I got you, I get

you

my name is

Whitney

and I am a funeral Directhe

er

has everyone done anything more insane ever?

umm.

yeah.

don't know if I should have answered that.

in my

job it's 70 percent

listening.

I'm gonna ask

them questions

and let them

just talk.

That's gonna

build me some

trust amongst

these players.

the traitors before? No, but what about you? You ask the question. I run games for a job

and I have the worst poker face in the world. So. All right, well, we'll see how this goes

for you then. What are you guys doing? Are you guys famous? No, I'm not. Are you famous?

I make TikTok videos. Oh, wow, that's cool. Being a social media person can rub people

the wrong way, but hopefully they'll realise that I'm actually like a trustworthy person.

Is anyone else from the South Island? I'm from the Cargill. Yeah, I'm from there. I'm

from Wellington. Nice, I'm from Wellington. Yes, oh my gosh, we're united already. Absolutely.

That road, that's a horrible road. So what made you guys want to do this? I'm broke and

struggling, that's why I'm in here. My name is Joe. Biologically, I'm 30, but I identify

as 22. My mouth will get me in trouble because I don't know how to shut up sometimes. That's

pretty much me in a nutshell. I just hope everyone plays nice. So what do we all do

for work? I'm an athlete. Period. What do you play? Mixed martial arts. Oh, are you

an MMA fighter? Yeah. Oh, girl. I will let you know now you don't want me on your team

because... Maybe we'll even each other out. It's just nice to be away from clients for

a fortnight. And from life. What do you do for work? I'm a columnist. Oh, cool. My name

is Jackie Polk. I am 70 years old, and I am actually a clairvoyant tarot reader. So we

form an alliance now. Why not? Beware though, I would betray you too. First impressions

of Jackie is she's got a game plan. She's full on. As long as you take us to the end.

I'm Donna, Donna Officer. I'm Norm. I'm Jane. My name's Utah. I have seen you around. I

work in the council. I've been here for nearly 20 years. Wow, it's a small world. Yeah, it

was quite a shock. I wasn't expecting that at all. I didn't recognise you, so that shows

how unobservant I am. Or maybe you're just super observant. Donna certainly seems like

somebody I'll be getting on with. But you never know, do you? Well, this is quite a

spectacular driveway. This is cool. We're not in Kansas now, Toto. Oh, wow. The trees

that just lined this grand driveway. Beautiful autumnal colours. But then all of a sudden...

Oh, gosh. We're in it, guys. The manor is so beautiful. It's just like that old vintage

style. You could definitely get lost in this place. Oh, my goodness. Here we go. This is

wild. Oh, wow. It is quite spectacular. Oh, there's a poor horse. Oh, my God, look, it's

Porky Red. Everybody, it's happening. Seeing Paul standing there, the game has finally started.

Hello. Hi, I'm Whitney. I'm Ben, nice to meet you. Awesome building. Looks very serious.

There is always a twist at the start. Interesting to see what twists Paul pulls out of his book

of tricks. I can't believe I'm here in person. I feel like I've just jumped into the TV screen

and joined my absolute favourite thing. My heart was beating like crazy. It's starting.

So, you've arrived. Excellent news. Welcome, then, to The Traitors and Claremont Manor,

located at the foot of Mount Horrible, named, I suspect, in anticipation of your next few days.

You have shed all that you know and trust, all that makes you comfortable to be here.

From now on, you require exceptional skill and cruel cunning. There's up to $100,000 to be won.

And as they say, to the victor go the sporties.

Let's start with a toast. The drinks, Mr Smith.

Sam comes out, the winner from The Traitors last year. He's all of a sudden Paul Henry's butler.

That better not happen to me. I'll be taking the money and running, Paul.

Nothing happens quickly with Mr Smith.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Please, take a drink.

Sam brings out the wine and immediately I'm seeing these two red glasses.

What do we have? I don't know. I'm blind.

Fair enough. Just take the closest thing to me.

My first thought was that they were rosé and rosé is my favourite wine.

I've realised the mistake that I've made because now I'm put right in the spotlight on the very first day.

I did see the rosé, but the excitement with Paul in front of us, it didn't even cross my mind.

I was not going to grab one of those. That's too easy. You can't trick me there.

I think I scanned what other people had and I did see another red thinking that, okay, it's a mix.

There's red and there's white. So I grabbed the red. Then it sort of dawned on me. It hit me.

I looked around and went, I'm the only one plus this lovely lady down the lane here.

This is going to be bad news.

Mike was behind Whitney and his gameplay had already started.

And so I clocked that. He's highly competitive.

I would like to propose a toast. May your plans be deadly.

May your enemies succumb. To you, my players. To you.

So two of you

selected drinks that were different from the rest.

If that's you, please step forward.

Are they going to be sent home on the first day at the very beginning?

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

This is going to be bad.

But I'm not turning around and getting in the car and going home on day one.

I am here to play the game.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Molly, Whitney, I've always believed good fortune finds the fortunate.

You've both been quaffing a vastly superior liquid.

And I'm rewarding you $5,000 a piece.

Your winner's already. And we've barely begun.

My first thought is this must be some sort of joke.

You know, you don't actually get the money.

Cheers.

Is anything truly that simple around here?

So, Molly, Whitney, your first conundrum.

You can decide to keep the $5,000 because it's yours.

Keep it, take it away and buy some piece of tat.

Or you can gift it to the prize pool.

The choice is entirely yours.

But it's a choice I insist you make right now.

So what will it be, Molly?

If you pocket five grand five minutes into the game,

people are going to look at you sideways.

I'll give it to the prize fund.

Oh, how terribly sweet.

Every fibre in my body was telling me to take the money.

But I don't want to make enemies on day one.

So I'm going to give it to the prize fund.

Whitney.

Are gifting the $5,000 back to the prize pool?

That was one of the dumbest moves.

There are 22 players here.

In all likelihood, neither Molly nor Whitney are getting jack shit.

Yeah, prize fund.

So charitable.

But charity doesn't count for much around here.

If you're not here for the money, why are you actually here?

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, won't it?

There was a little bit of temptation there.

But I couldn't, I couldn't do that.

Would put a massive target on me.

And I'd be out the door tonight or tomorrow.

Alrighty, I've had my fun.

Make yourselves at home before the start of the stabby stabby.

There's always a twist at the start.

Oh, there has to be, doesn't there?

So we're going to explore the houses.

We've got some stuff in there.

The burnt remains of previous traitors, I'm sure.

One can only assume.

Looking at the house, I was quite excited.

I am certain there's going to be a treasure hunt in here at some point.

There are secrets behind every door.

I'm like, did they leave tricks in the books?

Yeah, exactly.

There are beautiful coloured walls, a whole lot of little ornate things.

It's just like my Macbeth fever dream.

Bree, have a seat, make yourself comfortable.

Welcome to the game.

Andrew, good to see you.

You too, Paul.

Whitney, $100,000 in silver, is that close?

Close.

Have you thought about winning?

Absolutely, I've thought about winning.

And yet I gave you $5,000 and you gave it away.

That's not really winning, though.

$5,000 is a speck compared to $100,000, Paul.

Did I get your name?

Donna.

Donna.

Donna.

And Jane.

Jane.

You won't forget your name because you were out there.

I know.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

You think?

Yeah, I absolutely have proved my faithfulness.

It's my strategy now to sort of pull myself back.

What do you do?

I'm a funeral director.

I look after the dead, I don't kill people.

But I'm quite loud, I'm quite bubbly, I'm very expressional.

So that's my biggest challenge.

I get that, yeah.

I'll switch in.

Jo, was it?

Yes, Jo.

Wurrumu.

Wurrumu, yep.

Hey, I'm Molly.

Molly, nice to meet you.

Likewise.

You got the old cup out the front.

I thought it was Rosé.

That's really all that drew me to it.

Oh, that was you!

And then it turns out it was a whole thing.

Molly, what's your strategy?

I think my strategy is just to be authentic.

Just show people who I am and that I'm a good person

and then hopefully they won't know when I box talk them.

You should have taken the money and ran.

I can't make enemies day once.

Well, you're not a traitor or a faithful, yeah, you should've.

Steve.

Steve.

Oh, look, that's smart.

We should be writing notes on people.

So I've got everybody's names down in here.

They've got their jobs, their personalities,

personal stories they've told me.

All 22 players.

I will take this back to my room and I will study it.

Terry.

You're on a roll there, bro.

When I write things down, I remember them.

And I will be able to very easily and so organically

just make conversation with a bunch of people.

All we've got to do is find his pad.

After, like, day three, we'll know everything.

Why have you got a cane?

I've got chronic fatigue.

I've got a headache.

I've got a headache.

I've got a headache.

I've got a headache.

I've got a headache.

But also, if I'm able to play up a condition I have a little bit

and garner a bit of sympathy, great.

Wouldn't you feel really bad if you were a traitor

and you murdered the guy with a cane on the first night?

Where are you from?

Where's your...

Samoa.

Yeah, so all my family's from there.

That's where I come from.

Where does this part come from?

It means I am faithful.

I just, I'm like, look at me.

I'd probably google, you know, if I was a traitor.

What do you want to be?

Do you want to be...

I want to be faithful, yeah.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I thought we'd all want to be traitors.

Do you imagine yourself as a traitor or a faithful?

I want to be a traitor, 100%.

And I imagine myself being a traitor, yeah.

I would have thought we all wanted to be traitors.

What about you guys?

I really haven't thought about it that much, eh?

You haven't thought about it?

It's the game.

I was a police officer for 25 years in the UK, or nearly 25 years,

and I think I can detect bullshit.

You know where you are, right?

This is for the traitors.

You know that?

Yeah.

Yeah, this is not where we get our scientific data from.

Yeah, it's not maps.

Do you think your background will help you?

Yes.

What do you do, Jake?

I'm a professional weed puller.

Majority of people, they see me as the uncle.

They're not wrong in seeing me as that.

But I have a lot of experience utilising the art of war.

Before I was a landscaper, I was a security consultant overseas,

and then I was in the New Zealand Police and the Royal New Zealand Navy.

That will make me a threat.

Apparently you're a good liar, I guess,

and whether you can be a bad face to people,

and that's quite a difficult thing to do, I think.

It is hard to lie.

Put the panic on your face, just think about it.

I'll have a heart attack and I'll die.

This is too much.

I can meet you, like, immediately.

Stay on good terms.

They're on good terms now, but the battle lines are about to be drawn.

On one side, the faithful.

On the other, the traitors.

After that, nothing will be the same again.

$100,000 in silver, what do you make of it?

I mean, I could pave my patio really well with bricks and silver.

That can change people's lives.

How would it change your life?

My dream would be to have a nice piece of land in central Otago with my cat,

and we can just live in peace.

I'd like to pledge half of it to a charity.

The other half, my wife and daughter can do what they want with it.

Oh my gosh, I'd have more feathers, more shells, more everything.

Walking into the round table, the atmosphere was tense.

Our hearts were probably all beating out of our chest.

My boss at work, she had to describe me and her three words were

enthusiastic, excitable and pragmatic.

Fantastic, she didn't mention honest at all.

She didn't, no.

She didn't mention honest at all.

She didn't mention honest at all.

If push comes to shove, you'll lie.

I don't really know these people.

You'll banish.

I'm not here to make friends.

You'll kill.

Absolutely, it's the game, yes.

Welcome to the round table, the beating heart of the game.

In this room, at this table, you hold the power.

In this room, at this table, you hold the power.

It's here you'll banish fellow players.

Some of them will have become friends.

Thanks to Molly and Whitney, there's already $10,000 in the prize pool.

For a good step towards the $100,000 that sits before you.

Look around you now, have you any kind of read on any of these people yet?

Are weaknesses already showing?

I don't think it would ever be easy to take someone's dream away from them.

But if you're asking if I'm capable, the answer is yes.

What do you think of your competition?

They're a lovely bunch of people.

It's a shame we'll have to slaughter them all.

It's time for me to select my traitors.

Take one final look around.

This is the last time you can take anyone here at face value.

After this, who you choose to trust will decide your fate and possibly your funeral.

Please put on your masks.

Would you rather be a faithful or a traitor?

I think I would struggle lying to people.

You'd see it all over my face.

I would prefer to be faithful.

I'm perfectly 50-50 actually.

I'd rather be a traitor.

Why?

An informed minority will always outsmart an uninformed majority.

If I touch you on the shoulder, you are a traitor.

Some of these people want to be traitors and some of them are going to get what they want.

And to me, that's scary.

It is electric.

When you're going, I've just met these people, suddenly it's real.

Please Paul, touch my shoulder.

I'm listening for any sort of little hint or clue.

So much is running through my mind at this moment.

Do I want the tap on the shoulder?

Do I not want the tap on the shoulder?

My whole career being a police officer was high integrity,

trustworthy and I want to play the other side for a bit.

Play the game of the traitor.

I think I might have done a little tiny smile knowing that nobody could see me,

but I was just absolutely thrilled to be a traitor and I won't change my behaviour.

I'm absolutely sure of that.

He made the right decision making me a traitor, yeah.

Paul was doing his little walk.

I was bloody nervous, but the more he kind of walked around,

I started hoping he'd touch my shoulder, just because it would be fun.

But then at the same time, I don't want him to touch my shoulder

because that would be horrific and scary and I'd freak out.

I got the tap on the shoulder.

Traitor, and I just want to shout it from the rooftops, but I can't.

Whitney, get your mind into this.

Do you have the tap on your shoulder?

Yet after a huge movie, I think I got the tap on my shoulder.

I've become a woman.

I just want to shout it from the rooftops, but I can't.

Whitney, get your mind in check, get set.

This is going to be one hell of a ride.

As I felt Paul's hand, it was actually a relief.

All panic dissipated.

I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

I look forward to weeding a few out.

I have now selected my traitors.

Let the treachery begin.

You may remove your masks.

When I took my blindfold off, I was focusing on trying to make eye contact,

not break it too soon, give them a sort of a trustworthy glance, move on.

I just wanted, I just wanted to let it out.

I just couldn't.

What a feeling.

Traitors, you will discover the identities of each other later tonight.

Your job to murder the faithful.

The rest of you are my faithfuls.

It's up to you to uncover and banish the traitors.

Get them before they get you.

Tonight, one of you will be murdered.

One of you will be murdered.

Adieu.

So intense.

I'm downing it.

How are you doing, Jackie?

I'm doing good.

Not being picked as a traitor, I was gutted.

If I was a two-year-old, I would have had a tantrum.

Get over yourself, Jackie.

Now you have to be the best faithful you can be.

We're in a fishbowl now.

Yeah.

First things first, observe, identify friendlies and identify foes.

Jackie kind of slumped a little.

Mike, I saw a nerve pulsating on his forehead,

which would contribute to severe stress.

My heart is racing.

I'm telling myself inside my head that I want to be a traitor.

I want to be a traitor to keep myself calm and bring my heart rate down.

Right, you're a traitor.

You're a traitor.

You're a traitor.

I think I've got one.

I genuinely think I've got one.

I've seen someone take three really deep swallows.

Oh, my God, I'm so hot.

Jesus Christ.

It's time to be a bit manipulative.

The deceptive role.

Would you be good at that, Andrew?

It's time to start putting some lies out there if I have to.

Hey, guys.

Do you have a hand?

I was really sus of that Mike guy.

I think he's just been real chill.

He was in my car coming in.

He's a really polite person.

He's like a build-a-type, which is like,

Jane, come see me.

Mum.

It's not mum.

At the table, we were like, I love Jane.

She's mum.

Mum.

At least it's not granny.

That would be worse.

I think it's really important that you cement relationships

and play the social game, and that's exactly what I intend to do.

Did you have any people that stuck out to you

when we took the masks off?

No, but yeah, I think everybody was sort of just in their eyes.

I think it's really hard.

And like I say, we haven't had,

there's some people I still need to have conversations with.

So I'm going to listen to what other people are saying,

maybe agree with some stuff,

but not be the one putting names out there.

Not at this stage.

I don't think there's any need to.

Andrew, eh?

Yes.

I think my biggest strength in this game

is that I can be relatable.

Yeah, I wanted to be the bad guy.

Yeah?

Life's not fun when you get to be a bit naughty, right?

You've got to maintain that for a while as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think I have an ability to adapt to any conversation,

any situation.

The idea of being the bad guy would be fine,

but I was sort of relieved when it was all over.

Because in that moment, it was like, I think...

We had a little...

A side.

Chinwag.

Yes.

We should grab a couple of people who we've trusted so far.

I know, it's early days.

And maybe just share our thoughts with you.

I must admit, afterwards,

I didn't see anyone who had particularly shifted,

except one who was grinning like a little Cheshire cat.

Oh, really?

Did you guys pick out...

Were they across the table?

Yeah, he's the only...

He is the only one at the table that was wearing glasses.

Ah, yep.

One thing Mark revealed

was that he was a Dungeons & Dragons master.

But I think it would be less stressful to be a traitor.

So, oh, OK, you know strategy.

So, yeah.

He's selective with the walking stick.

See ya.

Yep.

Oh, you're very observant.

I'm sorry, I am a very observant person.

I watch people travel on uneven ground,

but he put his walking stick away

when he went on uneven ground.

I didn't notice that.

Mark is one to watch.

Don't underestimate him.

There's one person for me who, like,

stood out straight away.

And that was, um...

Was it Whitney?

The funeral home lady?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's so lovely and I like her as a person.

But I was like, if anyone would be a good traitor, it would be you,

because you deal with death every day.

Gather round, my lovelies.

Gather round.

I am always excited when I don't know what's about to happen.

But I'm smiling so much.

I trust you approve of my cottage in the country.

Quaint, isn't she?

I've tailored your first mission

to help you get to know the place a little.

My three daughters have long since flown the coop.

But as children often do,

they've left behind memories and memorabilia.

This...

..is all that's left of Lucy's precious doll, Lucy.

I'm a little bit scared.

The years, as you can see, have not been kind.

She's more of a Lucifer now.

Lucy's body parts are strewn throughout the place.

Left wherever my Lucy was last playing with.

Your job is to help me return Lucy to her former glory.

This game is so much more morbid

than I really thought it was going to be.

Here are the clues to the location of each body part.

Five in all.

You need to split into five teams.

You need to find the body parts, bring them to me.

For your effort, you'll receive two silver bars

per missing body part.

That's $5,000 in total.

You have 30 minutes.

Each team, take one clue.

Your time starts now.

Let's go, let's go.

Where are we going?

We ask for forgiveness, for patience and love.

Even this will not save you when push comes to shove.

You ask for forgiveness in a church?

It's round here, this church.

Whether you're a traitor or a faithful,

you want to get as much money as you can,

but I will also be keeping my eye on other people

because we need to decide who we're going to.

Their spirits surround us, but memories now few.

A group of past brothers laid here five by two.

But now it sits barren, only scars mark the past.

Residents relocated to their new home, their last.

A graveyard.

A graveyard.

Where the drum is fed and something dead is stored

lies an old room forgotten.

You might hear a roar.

Roar of a fire.

Let's go!

Missions are super important.

We need to find the body parts.

Let's go!

Missions are super important for everyone.

We all need to make sure that we get that prize pool

as buffed up as possible.

We're coming Lucy!

My strategy is to really show my physicality

as being such a positive attribute to the team.

You might light a candle to remember and mend

amidst whispering trees you'll find a best friend.

Is that the thing we drove past on the driveway

with all the candles?

We'll go ahead and have a look.

We knew straight away that there'd been candles on the driveway

because we'd noticed them when we were driving in.

On opening day I'm sure it looked new

but as the years passed the grime only grew.

Communal ablutions were once fashionably in

but now it's just haunted with the stench of old sin.

So toilets and the church.

Sounds good.

While we can have a look there.

Break out a light jog.

Because I've been so vocal about how much I enjoy games

how much I'm here for the missions

and how good I believe I will be at them.

Kind of a lot of pressure there.

We're getting into the boiler room.

You know, we're looking the whole place.

It smells like pee.

Here.

Oh yes!

Nice!

Perfect, let's go Mark!

It's really important to set a precedent

I'm way too competitive to lose and to fail on day one.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Yes, we're coming Lucy!

Don't leave me behind, I'm not a runner!

Lucy, we're coming for you.

Wait, there's a cross.

Okay.

I didn't really sign up for this running and exercising thing to be honest.

Frozen five by two.

There's the body part, there it is.

Got it, let's go.

When I spy Lucy's arm there's something else there

a map piece.

It's a shard of like the map with a triangle on it

it's around like the dining room.

I don't know what this is about

but it's going to take some more time

so we better sprint back to that manor pronto

and figure out what's next.

We've got Lucy's arm!

Yay, Lucy!

There's the candles here.

There's the foot of the dog.

They're right?

Yep.

Awesome work guys!

First team back.

Yay!

Right, let's have a look.

What body part have you found from Lucy?

A little leg.

Yes!

Ah, second one.

You also have a piece of puzzle.

Place your puzzle piece on the map

and you'll reward two silver bars.

We have found Lucy's right arm.

Would you like to place your puzzle piece?

Two silver bars for your team.

Let's check it out.

Let's check it out.

Oh my lord.

Okay, it's got to be this.

That is creepy as hell.

Okay, let's go.

Let's try.

I feel like we've scoped out the whole church.

What's this?

Shit?

Oh, Lucy's head.

Jane, spectacular.

And your puzzle piece.

Ah, wonderful, another arm.

A baby's arm for you.

Where did you find that?

Down by the shrine.

Ah, the shrine.

That's where my canine friends have all ended up.

Right, one team.

They're dragging the chain.

Ah, point of luck.

Yes.

Really smelled.

We all looked at each other like,

oh, it's just our searches.

Got the nose?

Yep.

Got it?

Yeah, righty.

Nice, who's the fastest?

I went to where Mark had already searched,

and as soon as I walked in, boom, I just saw the leg.

Good news, Lucy.

We have another leg.

Thank you.

Pop the puzzle piece on.

Well done, two final silver bars.

You have made the full compliment.

Bit of bad news, though.

Keen observers among you didn't have to pass medical school

to see that Lucy is missing an eye.

Paul says there's an eyeball missing to the doll,

and I'm like, well, chuck the bloody doll in the bin.

Hello?

If you can find her eye,

If you can find her eye,

I will double your money to $10,000.

You've overlooked one clue on the map,

and it's probably staring you right in the face.

You may possibly need to get a little closer to the map.

I'm going to go check the pool balls.

What's your best guess?

Is it the staircase?

This line's up there.

It is in the nursery.

In the nursery, did you say?

Yes.

I have to warn you, my girls called the nursery the cursory.

So which three of you have game enough to go into the nursery?

Up you go.

You have five minutes to go.

I thought Janaye, Andrew and Molly,

they were halfway up the stairs

before we'd even had a chat about who could be involved.

So I did think that that could have put one of those three

with a little target on their back.

Oh, this is so creepy.

We have five minutes to find one eyeball,

and we double the entire prize ball.

There's got to be a trick to it somehow.

Yeah.

Usually I'm fine with dolls,

but having that many dolls in that room,

big red flag, that's a no from me.

It was awful.

These poor little dolls, I'm knocking them all around.

We have to open or something.

Players, there's $5,000 on the line.

Up higher.

It's not looking good, Lucy.

Oh, my God.

Do it somehow.

Yeah.

Something we have to open.

Tick, tock.

You have three minutes to go.

We have to find one eyeball,

and we double the entire prize ball.

Oh, my God.

I just need the fluttering eyelashes.

If they can't find it,

would you accept a substitute eye that fits?

I beg your pardon?

There's a petanque ball in the next room.

You're not a medical man, are you?

Did we check this bathroom?

I didn't.

That would be a hilarious bath for it to miss.

For us to all have missed it.

Oh, I found it!

Yes!

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Let's go!

Yeah!

Come on, you guys!

Woo-hoo!

This sounds good.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Just in the nick of time.

Oh, look at her.

A little cycloptic,

but still magnificent.

Look at you, Lucy.

I can't remember you looking so spectacular for so long.

Your first mission is a complete success.

Another $5,000.

That creepy Lucy was a good introduction to what's to come.

Your day may be ending,

but for the traitors, the night is young.

Tonight, they will commit their first murder.

One of you will not live to see the morning.

Ta-ta for now.

Just a bad omen with terrible vibes

and an impending sense of doom.

So how much have we got on the prize pool now?

Is it $20,000?

$20,000, yeah.

It's a good first day, I feel like.

Yeah, it is.

It's only going to get harder from here.

Has anyone got any suspicions yet?

Like, nothing actually solid.

Do you know what I mean?

It's all just hunches and...

Vibes.

...weak clue-ins, but it's nothing I can go on.

Yeah.

I actually get really annoyed by people who say things like,

you know, you breathe weird, you bat your eyelids weird,

you hesitated when I asked if you were faithful or a traitor.

I mean, I think you really have to get to know people's personalities.

It's way too early.

Do you have any theories?

There's two people I saw swallowing heavily,

and so I'm just going to monitor them for now.

Swallowing?

Yeah, like three deep swallows.

Ooh.

It's going to be a nerve-wracking night.

The traitors will meet each other for the first time

and they can murder anyone.

And I think I've probably been one of the more forthright people

so far today.

Janaye looks really competitive.

I've told a couple of people that I've clocked Jane already.

That could put me as a target for sure.

You've got to monitor things for a bit,

so it's my first gut feeling, and we'll see how it unfolds.

My gut sucks!

I don't trust a straight woman you don't know.

Yeah.

And so, like, if somebody's quiet, maybe they're always quiet.

Yeah.

Try and get the head in the game.

I think it's going to come.

Easier with time.

Oh, yeah, I think so.

Then I don't know, though, because the longer you go on,

the more you've been around these people

and the more you've been telling yourself, like,

definitely not them, and then they're one of the last ones

and you're like, this has got to be one of you guys.

So, what's going on?

Look, I've been itching to talk to you.

I've noticed.

Obviously, once we were at the round table

and we took our blindfolds off, we spotted Mark.

Yeah, you were saying you were a little bit suspicious.

Yeah.

He was taking notes and stuff before and looked a bit funny.

There is a little bit of suspicion on Mark,

so I'm kind of rolling along and going with that,

and I just want to build trust with the faithful.

So, when we just did the mission just now

and we had the chance to double our cash,

he was quite loud and quite vocal and said,

I'm going to the pool room to look there.

He was sort of segregating himself from the group.

And he's not a team player.

Yeah.

And then when he said to Paul, oh, will you take a substitute?

You know, we can look at that and go, hang on a minute.

A lot of people are talking about Mark,

but I don't want to be part of a group thing

just because he can seem a little bit villainous.

So, that's why you've latched so quickly onto Mark.

Yes, he's an archetype for us.

Something started to feel a little bit suspect

and so I have to wonder if Whitney or Jackie

were confiding in me because they trust me

or they are traitors

and they're just trying to make sure

they have sway among the faithful.

We maybe should think about rejoining the group.

If we look like a clique, it's just going to be bad for us.

So, should we go investigate?

Cheers, team.

Cheers, guys. Day one.

Cheers.

I'm sitting there having my drinks

and then all of a sudden the clock chimes.

All right, guys, that's enough for me for tonight.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Good luck.

See you.

See you again, OK?

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

See you.

See you again, OK?

I'm thinking, here we go.

I get to find out who my fellow traitors are.

So, I'll see you guys in the morning.

Please.

Cheers to that.

And we get to commit our first murder.

Bye.

I hope I see you in the morning.

Bye.

If I don't.

If I don't.

This is what being a traitor is all about.

I'm going to go to bed.

Thank you.

Hopefully I see you in the morning.

This is the beginning of the game for me.

Bye, guys.

By the grace of darkness...

I have now selected my traitors.

Do you promise to lie and deceive throughout the game?

Keeper of an ancient mystery...

I am the first traitor to walk into that traitor's conclave.

I mean, what a buzz.

Who is going to come through that door next?

Are you willing to murder a fellow player every night?

Heading into Conclave tonight, I'm feeling super excited.

I'm absolutely willing to make some big moves in the Conclave.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And do you vow to keep your identity

and the identity of your fellow traitors a secret?

So my traitors are in place.

Let the treachery begin.

It's time for us to reveal ourselves to each other.

So my traitors are in place.

Let the treachery begin.

It's time for us to reveal ourselves to each other.

And I couldn't believe it.

No!

Jane is an amazing player.

She is going to make a great traitor.

She knows this game inside and out.

I called you.

Mike, I called you as well.

I didn't say it to anybody.

Neither did I when I called you.

I didn't call you.

No, neither.

Oh, I'm stoked.

So am I.

Why did you call me?

For me, I felt like you just went a bit quiet.

Mike, he's a very stoic sort of quiet man.

He hasn't let a lot out of the bag.

So that adds a little bit more suspicion to him.

However, I'm going to try and protect him as much as I can

and divert others.

I think we can work through this.

But you're not allowed a person anyway.

No, I don't think so.

Well, they're hunting out.

Yeah, the game started pretty fast.

Yeah.

Mike seems fairly quiet.

Whitney's the complete opposite.

Okay.

This is a good start, right?

So I think it might be quite a nice mix.

So the real question is,

who's going to be the first person we murder?

Any thoughts?

Of course you do.

So Whitney's straight away taken the lead.

I'm more than happy for her to do that.

It means I can just support her.

She can put her neck out.

I almost feel like...

Good evening, traitors.

Paul.

Those cloaks are very becoming.

I trust you all enjoy the power they wield.

Very soon, you will commit your first murder.

But before that,

I'm going to do what I do so well.

Throw a spanner in the works.

This conclave currently holds three of you.

I need you to make a little room for one more traitor.

Yes.

Massive plot twist.

We get to pick a fourth traitor.

Tonight, before you murder your first faithful,

you must try and recruit one of them.

I'm going to leave you to sort it out between you.

But don't dither.

It is going to be a long night.

Thank you.

Okay.

Wow.

Okay.

Okay.

I think we bring someone in as bait.

As bait?

That the faithfuls are going to banish,

and they're going to be, whoop, whoop,

because they've got a traitor.

That's hot, isn't it?

I mean, it's pretty obvious to us.

Put someone in there as bait.

Someone that's got a bit of heat on them and gets banished.

We can celebrate.

We can be joyous.

It's going to keep those faithfuls' heads spinning.

The name that I've heard thrown out the most,

which I think is super obvious, is Mark.

I do feel like he's going to banish himself.

So, yeah, that could work in our favour.

Anyone else?

Jackie.

Well, she is quite vocal.

Well, she is quite vocal.

There is that, yeah.

Yeah.

I've built quite a close bond with Jackie.

Yeah.

Right.

So when she goes, I could really play up on that.

What about Joe?

People seem to gravitate towards him.

They enjoy being around him,

so having him in our corner could be quite helpful to us.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let's go back to why we're doing this.

We're doing it as bait, right?

We all agreed on that, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I think we know who we're going to recruit.

Yeah, I think so.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

The traitors would like to offer you

the opportunity to join them.

You now have the choice to become a traitor

or remain a faithful.

Yours faithfully the traitors, that's not what I expected.

This means a little bit more mayhem

and a little bit more chaos.

I love it.

When you think about it,

do you imagine yourself being a traitor?

I would love to be a traitor.

Over and above the money.

Why?

Because it's one opportunity in life

to really play a game for real.

The last adventure.

Hi, welcome to our conclave.

Thank you.

Absolutely delighted.

I thought I was going home.

No, no, no.

Oh, did you?

Oh, sorry.

No.

Oh, gosh.

Quite the opposite.

I walk into the conclave and I take my hood off

and I should have known.

Mike is very intense.

He's very clever.

Whitney is a brilliant woman.

And I don't trust Jane as far as I could throw her.

There's something about her eyes

that one needs to be careful.

You are now in control.

Yeah.

I hope I do you proud.

Yeah.

She's gonna be a pretty good bait.

But hey, at least she gets her dream

to live a few days as a traitor.

Right?

We want all the help we can get.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

It's the game, baby.

Eyes on first murder.

This is exciting.

Wow.

Okay.

Who are we thinking of?

I want to stir it up.

Next time, the battle begins.

A traitor comes under fire.

It's quite a bit of science, isn't it?

Isn't it?

Her reaction just absolutely sold it down the middle to it.

But will her protests prove hard to swallow?

You had half a glass of water yesterday.

That is a downright lie.

I did not take any water.

And who will be the traitor's first victim?

Our first murderer.
