**
-[ Echoing ] She's a natural-born killer.
-This is the name of the game.
-What's going on?
-Oh, my God.
[ Clock chimes ]
-Welcome to my castle...
**
...where treacheries abound,
and murderers hunt the faithful like hungry, howling hounds.
Amidst this world of bloodshed, I am your humble narrator.
So step inside, stay a while in the company of "The Traitors."
**
These cunning celebrities...
strategic reality legends...
and clever game players...
will play the ultimate game of trust.
Welcome to the dark side.
[ Thunder crashes ]
**
-[ Grunts ] -Fire for your life!
Deception... -Everything you got!
-Aah! No! -[ Screams ]
-...manipulation...
-She's the traitor?
-...and just a dash of murder.
Who will emerge victorious
and win up to a quarter of $1 million?
-You're the traitor. Shut up.
-I find you highly annoying.
-Why would I want to murder her boyfriend?
-This guy is the silent slaughterer.
-This is not "The Bachelor,"
and I don't have to kiss your ass for a rose.
**
-Who wants to see a castle?
-I've never really spent any time in a castle.
-Oh, my God, this is so gorgeous.
-Wow. -This is dope.
**
-I wonder who else is here.
-I don't know. I can only speculate.
-And you guys know, we're like the first couple
that's doing the show.
-Really? -Yeah.
People think I'm the big, friendly giant.
But in all honesty, you know, I'm a cutthroat player.
You know, I've got Jordan blood in my DNA,
and we like to win at all costs.
I'm coming after that goal.
-I've never been to Scotland,
but, hopefully, this is a haunted castle.
Make all my dreams come true. -Oh, no.
-* Oh, my gosh *
I'm kind of fangirling
being in the car with the three of you.
-A car of reality queens here.
-Is there anybody from "Survivor"
that you don't want to see? -I mean, I would prefer
not to see Sandra.
-Why not? -Sandra?
-My career in "Survivor"
has over-prepared me for "The Traitors."
I can look you in the eye
while telling you a lie and smiling in your face.
You would think I'm your best friend in the game,
when, in fact, I'm here to destroy you.
-* Oh, it's so exciting * -I'm excited to meet Alan.
-Yeah. Me too. -I can't wait.
-I'm excited to see what Alan is wearing.
**
[ Drums beating ]
-Do I hear drums? -Yes. [ Gasps ]
**
-Oh, he looks a little creepy.
-Here we go.
**
-Lala, our guests are arriving.
**
[ Both screaming ]
-Whoo! -Oh, my God!
**
[ Both screaming ]
**
-Ohhh! -[ Laughs ]
-Wow!
-Let the games begin.
-What a place.
**
-Here we are! -Yes, here we are.
-Ah, there's Sandra.
-Oh, this is nice.
-[ Chuckles ] How you doin'?
Of course Bananahead is here.
Can't do anything without him, apparently.
-Hey. -Oh, you look great.
-You too. -Yeah?
-If me and Bananas were in Never Never Land,
he'd be Rufio, and I'd be Peter Pan.
-How amazing is this?
-How's it going? Peter.
-How are you? -Good to meet you, man.
-What's up, Janelle? It's been so long.
-How are you? Hi. -Good to see you.
So, I haven't seen Janelle in about a decade.
The last time I saw Janelle,
it was when I was writing her name down and voting her
out of the "Big Brother" house.
-So, what's your name, sweetheart?
-John. John Bercow. -John. Okay.
-Yeah, hi. I'm a retired --
-You're a politician, right?
-Ohhh, you're very, very good.
-Naughty, naughty, naughty. -I am.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-Look how gorgeous this is.
-The caliber and diversity of this cast
is exactly why I wanted to come and play this game.
-Where do I know you from, baby? -I was on "Big Brother."
-Ahh, yes! -And you're from...?
-The "Housewives" franchise.
-You have competition-show legends like Sandra,
who's won "Survivor" twice.
There is a former world heavyweight champion boxer
playing this game with me.
I don't understand why he's here.
I'm glad he is, because it's the thrill of a lifetime.
If this were the 1990s,
it would be like playing "The Traitors" with Mike Tyson.
-So nice to meet you. -Hi. What's your first name?
-Peppermint. -Peppermint?
-Yes. What's your -- -That is a name
that cannot be forgotten.
-I hope we survive the night. -This is -- Right?
I just want to make it past night one.
I don't want to be the first one.
-How embarrassing would that be?
-That would suck. -It would suck.
-What do you want to be,
traitor or faithful?
-I don't know.
I feel like people might know me
as the calculating bitch on my show.
-Mm! [ Laughs ]
**
[ Screaming ]
-Geez! -Oh!
[ Indistinct exclamations ] -What's happening?
-Ohhh!
-Welcome to "The Traitors"!
[ Contestants cheer ]
-His outfits are everything. -I [bleep] love this man.
**
-Whoo!
[ Cheering continues ]
-Oh, you look gorgeous. Strut, honey, strut.
-Alan Cumming's amazing. [ Smooches ]
Like, chef's kiss of a human being.
He's so swaggy.
[ Cheering dies down ]
-Look at you all, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed,
full of the joys of spring.
Ready to engage in a vicious game
of treachery, deceit, and murder.
-Whew! [ Laughter ]
-And what a game it will be.
Because I stand here before you looking out at a sea
of schemers, master manipulators,
cutthroat competitors.
21 of you for now.
But who knows what the future holds?
This, my dear players, may be the most important game
you have ever played.
Why? Well, no biggie.
Just that the winner will walk away
with up to a quarter of $1 million.
[ Contestants cheer ]
-Cheers to that. -I really like that.
-But to business.
Soon, I will select the traitors.
Each night, those traitors will murder one of you
under the cover of darkness.
It will be up to the rest of you, the faithful,
to weed out those traitors and banish them from the game.
Those that survive until the very end
will be within touching distance of that huge cash prize.
But be wary of who you trust,
for if even one traitor makes it to the end,
they will take everything -- and I do mean everything.
-Oh, my God. -Sally forth. Come on.
Head up to the castle. Have a drink.
-Sally forth? -Get to know each other.
Make friends, swap stories.
-All right. -But be warned --
In this game, there are no BFFs.
Unless, of course, "BFF" stands for
"betrayers, fakes, and fraudsters."
**
-* Oh, my gosh * -Oh!
-I always think there's somebody in those.
-Nope, not this one. -No? Okay, it's safe.
-I feel like I'm in a museum.
-I can smell it. -[ Sniffing ]
-Is this the bar? -Oh, nice.
-All right. -Wow.
-CT, you bartending or what?
**
-[ Whistles ]
Oof.
-Is it any wonder that the three of us
are the first ones to show up in the bar?
Everyone else's like, "Let's go check out the library."
-I think the last time I saw Trishelle,
we were in Thailand filming "The Challenge,"
and I don't think we were on the best of terms.
I hope there's no resentment.
-I'll go tell the girls that the bar's in here.
CT and I have not always gotten along.
Trust is earned. It's not just given.
And I don't trust CT.
But, hopefully, I'll be a traitor,
so I won't have to worry about it.
[ Animal crying ]
-Where are you going?
-To see what's down here in the billiard room.
Isn't this wild?
-Oh, my God. Where am I?
-This is like...
**
-This is beautiful.
**
-Sandra and I are meeting again
for the first time in a long time.
Sandra and I know each other from "Survivor,"
and that was a season where I lost and Sandra won.
We have, like, a little contention between us
over who is the true queen of "Survivor."
So maybe we'll see who's the queen of "The Traitors."
-The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.
And enemies become friends, and so on and so forth.
-Anything could happen. -Yeah.
Okay. [ Laughs awkwardly ]
-I want to extend my hand to you.
-I accept. -I appreciate this.
-So, we're going to have to keep each other alive.
-As long as we can. -As long as we can.
-I'm going to stick to my word,
but the first signs of deception,
I'm going to take care of her once and for all.
-Did you see yourself in this room?
Your picture? -No.
-This is like the breakfast room.
Look at me! She cute.
Oh, Lord, help me get through this game.
I don't know, there's a lot of winners here
from a bunch of different hard game shows, like "Survivor."
Those people eat rattlesnakes and live in the jungle
and hike naked, for God's sake.
I've never done any of that. I glamp.
And I barely glamp, honey.
I glamp at the Ritz-Carlton.
[ Chuckles ]
That's the sweetie pie from "The Bachelor."
-Yeah, he's nice. -What's his name?
Peter, Peter, Peter.
That's Kevin. He's from "Bling Nation."
It's a show about some very wealthy people.
-Everybody here is so used to competitions.
-Yeah. -I'm not.
-I only do competition shows. -You only do competitions?
-All right, where's Alan? -Yes.
-Shit. -To the, uh, new
kings and queens of the castle.
-You know who that is? -No, I don't. Who?
-That's Bananas.
[ Cork pops ] -Ooh!
-Mm-hmm. -Which is...
-So he's a "Challenge" person? Oh.
-Hmm. -Oh, he gives "Repo Man" vibes.
-[ Laughs ]
-I'm just saying.
He looks so fun. -Yeah?
-I love a politician.
-So, John -- So you actually were a member of Parliament?
-I was. -Okay.
I thought you were the host when we first got here.
-No. [ Laughter ]
I'm a retired politician.
Backstabbing, deception are all part and parcel
of the political life.
Order!
Over the years, I've developed a knack for detecting
who, frankly, is trying to lie,
to deceive, to cheat
for material gain.
-That's Scottie Pippen's ex-wife.
Scottie Pippen! Basketball!
-From the Bulls. From the Bulls. -Yeah!
-Oh. So? Okay. So what?
-That's Michael Jordan's son.
Child, wake up and smell the coffee.
-Oh.
-If you're a traitor,
are you going to murder your boyfriend?
-If I have to.
-Right? -You are?
-Yeah. I feel like we're here individually.
-We're here to play the game. I'll murder her, too.
-I feel like some of the people might be intimidated
because I'm playing the game with my boyfriend.
I feel like they think I have an advantage.
Like, we are both here individually.
Like, it's great that Marcus is here.
But at the same time, like,
I want to win, and he wants to win.
It's not like we're a team.
-Push comes to shove,
we'll definitely murder each other, I feel like.
[ Chuckles ] Exactly.
**
-Welcome to my round table.
If these walls could talk, they would probably
tell stories of deception, treachery, and death.
[ Clock chimes, ticks ]
**
And our players are about to begin their very own chapter
in this chamber's dark history.
By the time they leave this room,
the game's destiny will be irrevocably set.
Because it is here I will select my traitors,
and after that, nothing will ever be the same again.
**
Quarter of $1 million.
What's your strategy going into the game?
-I don't want to be the loudest voice.
Don't want to put a target on my back in any way,
and listen way more than I speak, for sure.
**
-Johnny Bananas. -In the flesh and blood.
So, how does it feel to be
the second-best-dressed guy on your show?
-I'd say back off, bitch.
-[ Laughs ]
-Deontay, how do you feel about this game?
-I feel very confident. This game is almost the same
as the business of boxing --
lies, backstabbing.
-Do you want to be a traitor or a faithful?
-I think I'd be better at finding one of them.
-The only reason I came here is to be a traitor.
-I cannot manipulate anybody. My lying skills are awful.
-Give me the chance. Make me a traitor.
-What would winning that quarter of $1 million mean to you?
-It would be a big deal for me.
I just got divorced... -Oh.
-...so I'd like to buy a place, a home, for me and my daughter.
-Maks, sum up your game plan in one word.
-Win.
-That's it. -Is there another word?
**
[ Choir vocalizes ]
**
-* Follow me down into the valley nigh *
* Where all the flowers bloom *
**
-* Follow me down into the valley nigh *
* Where all the flowers bloom *
-Welcome to my round table.
King Arthur said, "When a man lies,
he murders part of the world."
But murder and lie, some of you must.
**
Soon, I shall select the traitors.
They will cast a gloomy shade of death each night.
Look around you.
This is the last time you will see each other as equals.
In a few minutes, everything will change.
-* His body lies, the flowers grow *
* His body lies, the flowers grow *
**
-Put on your blindfolds.
**
If you feel my hand upon your shoulder,
you are a traitor.
**
-[ Laughing ]
Oh, oh, oh!
I am so excited.
I was born to be a traitor.
It's hunting season for me.
I'm ready to take these sheep down,
and they're not going to see me coming.
**
-[ Whispering ] Oh, my goodness.
I'm in the secret society of traitors.
I'm definitely going to be queen of this castle.
**
-Remove your blindfolds.
**
-As much as I want to celebrate and jump up and down,
'cause this is what I get to do, I get to be a traitor,
this is why I came to play, I can't let that slip.
I'm looking around, scanning, scanning,
making sure I'm trying to find the traitor.
I was, like, trying to turn my throat into the Sahara Desert.
Like, don't swallow, don't swallow,
'cause it was going to be the loudest thing of all time.
**
-The traitors now sit amongst you.
**
You may never know who they are or how many.
-I'm a faithful, but I am 100% pissed off I'm not a traitor.
Now I am absolutely terrified.
-I could smell bullshit a mile away.
I can spot a fake and a phony like that.
I'm going to be able to spot the traitors.
It's going to be so easy for me.
-Later tonight, the traitors will meet to decide
which one of you will become their first victim.
But that's not all.
The thing is, the traitors are not yet complete.
This evening, they will have the power
to enlist one more member to their mutinous mob.
One of you yet could be turned to the dark side.
**
Choose wisely, traitors, for this decision
could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Now, as if that's not enough excitement,
you have the small matter of your first mission.
I'll meet you there shortly. Bye-bye.
-Full of surprises, this guy.
-We haven't even met each other.
But now we've got to choose someone else to join us?
So that changes the game, as well,
because now you've got to be strategic to pick an ally
that's strong enough to keep the society alive.
-You were having some breathing problems.
Are you -- were you okay?
-I was okay, yeah.
-Okay. -Yeah, no, I was okay.
I don't breathe brilliantly. -Oh, okay.
-You were... -Oh, I'm sorry.
-...really struggling there.
-Well, I slightly -- I'm slightly asthmatic.
-Okay. There was a slight hesitation
in the walking here. -No.
-In the very last time he walked,
you started breathing really heavy.
-No, I could look you in the eye and tell you,
he certainly didn't tap me. -Okay.
-Wait. Can I ask you guys a question?
I feel like my hearing is really good.
-Were you trying to listen where he stopped?
-Yeah, I did, too. -No, not when he stopped,
but when he lifted his jacket, and it was to my left.
-Shots fired already. Good grief.
-Wow. -I'm just saying.
Did you guys listen?
-I don't think he would make it easy to feel
himself touching something.
-My ears were so strong that I could feel
the vibration of him lifting his jacket.
-So what are you trying to say?
She's the traitor?
**
-I feel like my hearing is really good.
-Wow. -I'm just saying.
Did you guys listen?
-But that's a good strategy
for someone who's trying not to be
caught as a traitor.
-I don't know. I just listened. -First off.
To blame the person right next to them.
That is so shady. -But look at his jacket...
-Girl, you got to be out of your mind,
already coming out of the gates accusing me
and thinking I'm going to sit down here and take that?
Maybe I can be recruited,
because they're all going to think I'm a traitor anyway.
You're barking up the wrong tree.
I'm telling you. I'm serious.
-Okay. [ Indistinct conversations ]
-Keep it moving.
[ Animal crying ]
**
-She did not hear shit at my shoulder.
-I swear to God, like, I have really good hearing,
and I hear a pin drop.
-Let's go traitor hunting.
-What is that doing?
-Looking at the heartbeat in your neck.
-[ Laughs ] -It's at least 120 BPMs, dude.
-Ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.
-[ Whispering ] Are you a traitor?
-No. -No, I don't think you are.
[ Laughs ] If you are, recruit me.
-Her energy was off as soon as I said something to her.
She was, like, automatically so defensive.
And I was like, "I just said to my left."
-Oh. -It was very close.
And he didn't touch me.
-I couldn't feel any better right now,
because, at this point, I don't have to cause a diversion.
I don't have to blame anyone. Larsa did all the work for me.
If she is a traitor, she's playing this game
very hard and very fast.
And if she's not a traitor,
she could be a great early recruit
that we set up to frame early on in the game.
-She said something like, "That's, like, a good strategy."
-Yeah. So she deflected back to me.
-She's putting it back on you. That's called manipulation.
-Right. Right. -And projection.
-I've done this in psychology.
I do think people underestimate me.
You know, as soon as they see me,
"Oh, she's a pretty girl. She probably loves herself.
Probably not smart."
But I believe in aliens.
I have conspiracy theories. I love cartoons.
I, you know, can twist my arm all the way back.
I'm very quirky, very weird, but I'm also very relatable.
And people love that about me.
-So, listen, I'm sitting next to that John guy,
and he starts hyperventilating.
He was like... [breathing heavily]
-Oh, my God. -And I --
-Very short-lived, though.
And he said it could have been asthma.
-It was not asthma. I'm asthmatic, too.
-The only thing -- He tried to defend himself
a little bit too much.
-If I get murdered tonight, it's him,
'cause I'm the only one sitting next to him that heard that.
I'm telling you guys right now, if I'm gone, it's him.
Like, you have to vanish him.
-I ain't saying nothing to nobody.
Everyone's whispering, trying to figure out who the traitors are.
My strategy is basically to just listen, take notes, and agree,
but not actually participate in those conversations.
That's the whole key to the game.
Do just enough, but not too much.
**
-So you're not a traitor? -No, I'm not a traitor.
He did not touch my shoulders, and she did not hear anything.
**
-How are you feeling? -I'm feeling good.
I'm a faithful. -Yeah?
You're speaking very fast.
-I am not a traitor.
-I'm not saying you're a traitor.
I'm just saying you're speaking very fast.
And you've just spilled your drink.
-People are gonna know me from "Love Island,"
so people have this idea of me being easily manipulated.
-Your cheeks are really red, by the way.
-Yeah. -And you're sweating a lot.
-Bergie is as red as a tomato.
The guy literally has soiled himself.
I don't think Bergie was cut out for this life.
-I don't have anything to hide.
I don't know what I'm doing right now. This is terrible.
-We need a cold glass of water for Bergie over here.
-Are you okay? -Yeah!
-I want to prove in this game
that I'm not someone that can be manipulated.
I want to find the traitors, and I want to show the world,
like, hey, I can figure stuff out on my own.
-To winding people up, stirring the pot.
Deception, treachery, skullduggery.
To sniff the traitors out...
**
[ Bell tolls ]
-Let's go, baby. Let's go. -They're leaving for the mission. Let's go.
-I'm looking forward to the mission.
I want to be adding prize money to the pot.
The traitors will definitely take note of that,
and I want to possibly be recruited.
I'm up for the challenge.
You know, Jordans,
we come out to win anything.
And so I definitely think,
if I set my mind to it,
I can take the whole thing.
-I'm actually pretty certain
that everybody in this car is a faithful, like...
-Yeah... -And I just have, like, a feeling.
-Oh, my God!
-Wow! -Wow.
-Yep. -It's about money.
So we're probably gonna go over there and grab
something with money, but we don't know what.
-Oh, my God. This is gonna be a real mind game.
**
-Players, welcome to your first mission.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Unfortunately, Tamra is not well,
so will not be taking part in today's mission.
Now, the lochs of Scotland
are rich in mystery, folklore, and legend.
And, if you're lucky, a nice wee gift shop.
[ Laughter ] For this mission,
you will set this loch ablaze.
You must work together to correctly assemble
a giant beacon in the middle of the icy waters.
You will make your way into the water,
gather the floating puzzle pieces,
and rearrange them in the correct order.
-Okay. -Okay. -Okay.
-To help you work out the puzzle pattern,
there is a replica image
of what it should look like hidden on this shoreline.
Once you think the puzzle pieces are in the correct order,
you will set it alight by pressing down on this detonator.
[ Contestants gasp ]
If you correctly assemble the pieces within 40 minutes,
you will add a whopping $30,000 to the prize pool.
-Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah!
-Remember, this is an all-or-nothing mission.
If you fail, you get zilch.
Go and get yourselves ready.
**
-I'm terrified.
How strong is the current? How heavy are the puzzle pieces?
Am I going to swim? Am I going to row?
Am I going to -- what is -- I mean, this is a lot.
-Now, I have news.
-Oh, my God.
-This year, you're not just playing for money
in these missions.
You are also playing for your lives.
-What? -Yeah.
-Fergus?
[ Contestants murmuring indistinctly ]
This, players, is a shield.
-Great. -What?!
There are two shields on the loch, and one on land.
Any player who decides to take a shield
will be instantly protected from tonight's murder.
What's your priority today?
Money for the group or the preservation of your own life?
-Obviously, I'm going for the shield.
Hello.
When I go into competition mode, I don't come out until I win.
-If you go for a shield, you could be getting one
because you're a faithful that's worried about
being targeted by a traitor.
Or you could be a traitor that is
grabbing a shield to try and confuse everyone
and make them believe that you're actually a faithful.
-Oh, one little thing I forgot to mention.
Guards?
-No! -No!
**
-What?
-You're going to be starting this mission tied up.
[ Contestants exclaiming indistinctly ]
Do not fight your fate, players.
-Oh, my God!
-Oh!
**
[ Contestants exclaiming indistinctly ]
-Do not fight your fate, players.
-Agh! Okay!
-Well, you'll need to untie yourselves from these poles
before you begin.
You have 40 minutes.
Starting...now.
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, no, this is really tight.
-Aw! -Oh, no!
-God! -I can't get out.
-Yo, guys, somebody who's untied has to look for the clue.
-We need to all be untied.
-On the shore. -Go start looking.
Just go start looking.
**
-I do not care about any of these people.
I don't care if they're tied up all day.
I'm going to find the shield before I do anything.
-Guys, help the person next to you.
-Good for you, Janelle.
-I was basically Katniss Everdeen in "Hunger Games,"
and I'm running for a weapon.
-Girl, get your ass back down here and untie me.
Now there's a big target on your back.
How did she do that so fast?
-Janelle has gone for a shield.
Two shields now left in play.
-She straight up left us.
Instead of helping us, she left us.
Janelle should have went on untying,
untying, and untying every single person,
because every minute counts.
-All right, I'm out.
-Guys, I want to plan.
-Many players still tied up.
There'll be no 30 grand if you stay tied to the poles.
-Hey, what's the plan?
-We need two people on the dock.
-I think it's more important to have the strongest boats going.
**
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-Going in to do a mission,
this is kind of where I start to feel at home,
where I'm gonna really be able to step up and shine, hopefully.
And I'm going to do what I do best,
and that is kick ass and take names.
Get in the boat! -Okay.
-We gotta get the rope first?
-Yes, we're gonna take the rope out.
-Shit.
-3, 2, 1. -Together: Go!
-We are going to have to beeline it out
into the middle of this loch,
unlock a bunch of floating puzzle pieces,
bring them back to a dock,
somehow manage to put them all together
in some sort of puzzle formation that we haven't even seen yet,
because it's hidden somewhere on the shore.
This is going to be tough.
It went from difficult to damn near impossible.
-Together: Go! Go!
-In this boat, it's me, Maks, CT, and Deontay,
and our thought is just to go as far as we can
and figure out how many pontoons we can bring back.
There's $30,000 on the line, and we want to win it all.
-Together, together, together.
-Deontay, Marcus, CT, Maks -- what an alpha boat.
**
-We're getting this puzzle piece.
Forward. Forward. Forward.
-My strategy in this mission
is to be somewhere in the middle.
I definitely don't want to be a leader in the pack.
I don't want to be shouting instructions.
And I don't want to be a straggler.
You good, Parv? -Yeah.
-So I want to be one of the workhorses in the middle.
I just don't want to be the lead horse.
Well, you get the close one. I'll get that.
-Uh, okay. -Is that all right?
-Yeah, it's totally fine.
-Paddle to the left. -Yeah. It's left.
-Come on!
**
-What do I...?
-We're looking for a piece of paper.
Gotta be along the shoreline.
You come this way. We'll go in the middle to meet.
-Everyone kind of went off, and we had people
that were going to look on the shoreline.
-Oh, my God, there's a lot of them!
-Yes. -We need help!
-Oh, so we don't know what to -- -Oh, shit.
-We had people getting in the boats.
-I don't know if it's the current
or what the hell's going on, but, like,
I feel like we're not moving at all.
-It's just a ton of chaos.
-Did we get the map?
-Somebody's getting the map over there.
-Get over here! -Help!
**
-I can't find this frickin' clue.
-Help me. Please help me.
-Dear Bergie's still tied up.
-Hold on. I'm almost out. -Hold on, baby.
-Don't worry about the map. They need you to...
-We need you. You're young, baby.
-Oh, my God. -Hold on.
-Oh, my God. -Ugh.
I feel so useless being the last one untied.
I can't help at all.
All right, I can get out. -Let's go. Okay.
-Oh! He's off. Bravo, Bergie.
-You go, you go.
Bergie, I'm so proud of you, baby.
-Why aren't we moving?
-John and Kevin aren't exactly the experienced seamen
you would hope to find.
I don't think either one of these two guys
has ever picked up an oar before in their lives.
-I don't think we're going anywhere. Are we?
-I wonder if I'm more use if I swim.
My boating experience
is being rowed or powered by others.
-So let it go, John.
Do not hold on to it. Let it go.
-Okay, okay. -You're holding us back.
-Okay, okay. -Before you know it,
I'm out in the water so I can prove to everybody
why having me as an asset to win money outweighs
them wanting to get rid of me because I'm an asshole.
**
-Half your time has gone, players.
-There's a shield.
-Where? -Straight ahead.
-We all...see the shield.
Are we doing this? We racing for this or what?
Who wants it?
**
See ya!
Pshew! [ Laughs ]
I'm out of here. I'm down.
-All right, let's go, guys.
-Someone's already going for the shield.
-Y'all got a shield right there.
Oh, there's another one.
All right, y'all go ahead.
Twist. There you go.
I see another shield. I jumped off the boat.
There I go.
I'm not going to stop. I gotta get it.
-Listen, I would love the shield, right?
I don't want to come off like Janelle
and people looking at me like I'm greedy and selfish,
but I just want to be able to breathe a little bit.
**
-CT has got his hands on the second shield.
Interesting.
**
-Got the shield. I'm safe, so I'm happy.
Oh.
-Shit. Is the shield gone?
Seeing Deontay and CT get a shield
did not make me feel good.
-I got it, I got it. -Half the timer's up.
We don't even have the puzzle pieces
at the docks yet.
I just don't see how we're going to make it.
**
-Let's [bleep] do this.
-Together: Together. Together.
-Where is Shereé?
--I can't even get these out. It's a whole bunch.
-Oh, my God, that's a lot. -I'mma start down.
-Where the hell is crazy-ass Shereé?
**
-I'm looking for the clue.
-We're looking for a puzzle. -Anyone find the map yet?
We tear through these bottles --
probably, I don't know, 300 bottles --
to get a piece of paper.
-I got it! -Whoo!
She got it!
-You crazy heifers.
-Oh, they got the map. -The puzzle's like a shield!
It's a shield. It's a shield.
-What? -The puzzle's a shield
with, like, a little symbol in it.
-A shield? -Gimme, gimme, gimme.
-This is too far of a swim.
-There's one more buoy.
-Yeah, keep pulling, keep pulling.
-All day! -Ooh!
-All night! -Ooh!
-All day! -Ooh!
-I'm trying to get to you, Bananas. I'm trying.
-Pull it!
**
-All right. One of you has to get off.
-Now we have all the puzzle pieces at the pontoon,
you're fighting with everyone trying to orchestrate
where we gotta put all the pieces now
to make sure the puzzle actually comes together
and makes sense. -No, this is the bottom!
This is here, no?
-Players, you have only 10 minutes left.
-Let's stay calm. Dan.
-The bottom of it. Look at the bottom.
-Furthest or -- -That's the beak.
-The bottom or the top? -Furthest or closest to you?
-Go in the bottom. Go in the bottom.
-Move that piece out. Move that piece out.
-When you're trying to solve a puzzle,
but you have four different people
looking at the same puzzle,
all four people are going to see different things.
It's just bedlam.
-I don't think that this is right.
-Really, we should have this thing together already.
Too many chefs in the kitchen.
Only one person should be looking at that map.
-That's it. Perfect. Just push it in.
The side to the right of that, that you're touching,
needs to connect with the top of this, I believe.
-I already said that. -Let go of the piece!
-We do need help. We need more help.
-I believe that goes over here.
-I think it's a left-side piece.
-No, it's not a -- -That one...
-Looking at this team as a whole,
I am terrified.
-CT, go in the middle. Guys! -The one you're holding.
-Someone take charge!
-I don't know how we're gonna be
winning missions with these people.
-I'm holding the middle! I'm holding the middle!
-Players! You will not succeed if you don't hurry up.
All the pieces must be assembled.
-Connect everything you can.
-The middle pieces need to be connected somehow.
-How? -You got Peppermint and Marcus
all yelling completely different instructions at us.
You've got John on shore,
who I think is just shocked that he hasn't drowned.
You got CT barking orders
from the water. -Gotta connect...
-I think Larsa's drowning on the puzzle piece.
And I'm just trying to find a way
to just keep this all in order.
We have too many voices!
-Yeah, guys, there's way too many!
-$30,000 is slipping through your moist fingers.
-Guys, somebody new has the map every time I look up.
-I don't think that this is right. -Oh, shit.
-Get out! Do it in a -- -Go that way.
-Help! -Go that way.
-Help! -Guys, come here.
-Help! Help!
**
-Someone's going to need me.
-Your left hand is the opposite side.
-These two pieces go together.
-There was no leader.
I'm like, "One person give directions. One person."
-Can we identify the matching piece of this
that goes over there?
-Once Johnny, CT, Dan, Parvati, and I
got the pieces together, we finally got it.
-Come here, come here! Rotate, rotate.
-Swim it forward. Bring it forward.
-Two minutes remaining.
Hurry, or you will fail miserably.
-Everybody get in the water and stop moving pieces!
-Top row needs to go further back.
-Go that way. -Which way?
-Go that way. -Guys, connect.
-You gotta go to the other side. -Connect.
-Where do you want this? -I have top right.
Come on, quick!
-Ugh!
-Yeah. Push it in, Janelle. Push it in.
-The middle piece is not connected!
-Go, go, go. Come on.
-Tick-tock, tick-tock.
-Bring it in, bring it in.
We got it. This is the picture, right?
-This is it!
You guys, come on, get out!
-Get on shore!
-Get out! -Hurry, guys!
-Come on!
-We need you all on land
before we can detonate.
**
-Go!
Come on!
-You need to hurry, players.
-Hey, we all got to get on shore.
-Come on.
-Moments left.
Hurry, everybody! Hurry, hurry!
-Oh, my God!
-Oh, my -- -Get out! Come on!
-Push the detonator.
[ Heavy breathing echoing ]
[ Contestants cheering ]
**
[ Chuckling ] Yes!
-Yes!
Oh, baby, we did it.
We got the 30 G's added to the pot.
All day! Ooh! All night!
[ Laughs ]
[ Cheering continues ]
-Bravo!
-Okay, let's be honest.
If me and Bananas weren't there,
we wouldn't have got that money.
I hope that everybody in the castle realizes
how lucky they are to have me and Bananas
working together to make their money.
-Feels so good.
-$30,000 for everyone to share.
Or for me to take in the end.
**
-Well, players, you've completed
your first-ever mission...
-Yay! -All right!
-Whoo! -...and bagged
the full $30,000 for the prize pot.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But, I have to say, it seems lots of you were desperate
to protect yourselves from tonight's murder
and claim those shields.
Janelle, CT, and Deontay,
you three can go to sleep tonight
safe in the full knowledge
you will not be the traitors' first blood.
And who will be their newest recruit?
Well, that vacancy is still open to all.
Now, get back in the warm, or you'll catch your death.
Well, if not now, one of you will later.
[ Scattered gasps ] Because, from tonight,
you'll start dropping like flies.
Toodles.
**
-I'm actually gonna sleep really, really good tonight
knowing that I've got that shield,
knowing that I can't be murdered.
Everyone else is literally
shitting in their pants right now.
[ Laughs ] It's so funny.
-I'm pretty sure my toenails are falling off.
**
-Did you see any unusual behavior?
-Oh, you mean besides the people that made beelines
for the shields?
I'm just saying.
-Janelle didn't help anybody.
She got out of the tie and ran and got the shield.
-Literally. -I didn't even look for the shield.
I'm trying to help everybody get out.
-Me too. Me too. Me too. -I mean, we finished it,
but we finished it in a -- in the final minute.
How much time did that potentially cause us by people,
instead of collecting puzzle pieces?
-We were worried about that.
-Whoever gets recruited is going to be such a giveaway.
-You guys, it's someone that's, like, super faithful
or, like, someone that benefits them,
that they can get information from.
Like, the most trustworthy. -Yeah.
-Who d'you reckon will be murdered?
-Is it someone that helped out a lot
or helped out very little?
What would the traitors think?
-What would you do, Dan, if you were a traitor?
-It's a good question.
**
-Oh, my God, I'm ready for a hot shower.
[ Contestants cheering ]
-All day! All night!
All day! All night!
-Ow! -Oh!
-I'm so happy to be back.
-I'm ready to eat. I'm ready to get out of these wet clothes.
-Job well done today, ladies and gentlemen.
[ Clock ticking ]
[ Owl hoots ]
**
-Cheers, brother. -Cheers.
-First mission. -I don't think I've ever
drank red wine straight from the bottle.
-You want me to grab you a glass?
-No.
-I think Janelle had her eyes on the shield
way before the game started.
-We crushed it. I'm so happy.
-I got a shield and I'm safe, so I can just rest.
-I think that the first murder
is going to tell a lot about the traitors' strategy.
-Mm! -Mm-hmm.
-Learning that we have a recruit
makes a very interesting twist to the game.
But at the same time,
I gotta make sure I recruit someone that's not like me
and no one would ever suspect is connected to me.
Someone like CT, who is the ultimate gamer.
I just adore CT. I love him so much.
I think I got a mild crush on him.
-I honestly hope that I see
each and every one of you tomorrow.
-I hope I do, too. I brought some really fabulous outfits
that I'd like to wear for you...
-Me too! -...at the next dinner.
-[ Chuckles ] -I did, too.
If I get murdered, she's a traitor.
-Oh, my gosh!
-I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
I'm just messing with you, I swear.
-I can't tell.
**
-All right, so, what are we thinking?
I was not expecting Alan to come out day one
and say, "Here's the traitors.
But, wait, there's more. You're gonna add another one."
It's a really critical decision. You don't want to blow it.
There's going to be a recruitment.
What do you think about that? Like...
-There's pros and cons to each side.
But it'd be very difficult for me to be a traitor.
-I don't know who the other traitors are right now,
but I need someone else in the turret with me
who knows how to get stuff done
and isn't going to feel bad about it.
-Are we gonna talk? -We gotta find 30 seconds to talk.
There's an instant connection between me and Janelle
'cause we both played "Big Brother" together.
-[ Whispering ] So, I've been dying to talk to you.
-[ Whispering ] Yes.
I know how she operates.
She's such a great competitor.
Real quick -- Me, you? -100%.
-With Janelle, she's not going to blink twice
when it's time to do some dirty work.
And I think I can trust her.
I'm also considering Parvati.
She's made a living pulling people in
to feel like they can trust her,
and at the last second gets rid of them.
I kind of think she's the female version of me.
I'm so excited to play with you.
Like, when I saw you -- "It's the 'Survivor' queen."
-Mm-hmm.
-There's no one else in this house
that's really played strategic games like Sandra.
She won "Survivor" two times for a reason.
You won twice. That's no joke.
I'm just saying. -But I'm reminding them,
it was a very long time ago. -No, no, no.
I'm just -- I'm just saying. -Don't hold that against me.
-No, because I respect you. -Yesterday --
-Hey, come on in, Maks. -Oh, come in.
-Is there sneaking going on, or can I sneak in?
-Come in and sit down. -No, I was just passing by.
-Oh. -Cheers, by the way.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Thank you.
Oh.
-Why wouldn't he want to talk to us?
-Oh.
He's irrelevant.
-I don't think many people in this group know
what Sandra is really capable of.
She's ruthless, and I know she's a stone-cold killer.
**
[ Owl hoots, insects chirping ]
**
-The players will soon hear the chimes of midnight,
and they must hasten to their quarters,
for those chimes are the traitors' tolls,
and it summons them to meet and set about their grim task.
But tonight, murder will not be the only thing on their minds.
They must select a final traitor to join their murderous tribe.
So beddy-byes it is. Sleep tight.
Try not to let the traitors bite.
This is going to be such fun, Lala.
-* Someone's a traitor *
* I feel it now *
-The reason why -- [ Clock chiming ]
-Oh, God.
-Have we all said our goodbyes, just in case?
-Pray for your girl. They might murder me, child.
-I don't think so.
-John, hey, brother. -You too, man.
-Good job out there.
-Really? -Yes.
It was a weird reaction. Like, I was joking.
-If you end up dead, we know why.
-1,000%.
**
-Someone's going to get murdered tonight.
-Okay, okay. Yeah, we know, we know.
-Good night. Hopefully we see each other tomorrow.
-Yes. -Oh, God. Oh, my God.
-* Someone's a traitor *
**
-* Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh *
**
-Before I adorn you with your traitor's cloak
and you discover the identity of your fellow murderers,
I must know --
Are you prepared to take the traitor's oath?
-I am.
-Are you willing to murder one of your fellow players
every night?
-I'm a killer.
-Do you vow to keep your identity
and the identity of your fellow traitors a secret?
-I will. -Yes, sir.
-With the power vested in me from these ancient grounds,
I now pronounce you a traitor.
[ Animals howling ]
[ Thunder rumbles ]
-I'm really excited to see who the other traitors are,
because I've been looking.
I haven't seen any cracks in the armor.
Whoever the other traitors are, they're doing a great job,
and I can't wait to meet them.
-I feel powerful.
Mysterious. Deceptive.
**
The queen of the traitors has arrived.
Long shall she reign.
**
Yes, baby.
[ Both laugh ]
[ Owl hoots ]
[ Both laugh ]
-I never even considered it was Dan
because he's just so calm, so quiet,
so introverted into himself.
So the two of us together,
we're like Wonder Woman and Superman.
It's just the dynamic duo.
-I'm shocked. Like, you are playing it so good.
-Thank you. -How do you feel?
I mean, like -- -I'm -- I'm -- I'm excited.
I would have never thought it was you.
-We're doing a good job, then. -[ Chuckles ]
-Phaedra's a Real Housewife, and she deals with a lot of,
like, backstabbing and things like that.
But this game is very different.
It's ruthless and it's cutthroat.
I don't know how much experience she has
in playing a game like this.
We will play very well together because --
-Yeah, definitely. No one will ever suspect it.
-No.
I'm excited. I mean --
-So is it just us?
-Yeah. I mean, we got to recruit one,
but I think you and I can do it.
But we're going to need some help, too.
-Yeah. We're going to need some help.
We've got to recruit somebody that
is far enough away from us.
Someone that we're not really so friendly with, you know?
-Okay. Can I say the names and you tell me your thoughts?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead.
-So, let's go -- John, no.
-Oh, God, no. He's so loud.
-Ekin-Su.
-No. Lord. Her brain is on vibrate.
What do you think about Sandra?
-I'll be honest -- Like, Sandra won "Survivor" twice.
-Yeah. -Sandra's a stone-cold killer.
And she's very dangerous. Like, she's good. She's --
-No, no. I heard she's extremely good.
-Really good. -I've been watching her.
Yeah, I heard she's really good. -She's good.
What do you think about Parvati?
I think she'd do a great job as a traitor.
-Oh, God. She's hot already.
-It was to my left. -What are you trying to say?
She's the traitor? -I cannot believe...
-To my left. It was to my left.
-All right, this game's over. -Wow.
-That may not be a bad thing, though.
I think you and I fly under the radar.
-Oh, definitely. -And so, like,
she's a little bit more out there than us, which is good.
She can be a shield for us. -Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Janelle -- she's a good game player.
-Yeah. She went right after that shield.
-Guys, help the person next to you.
-Good for you, Janelle.
-Janelle has gone for a shield.
-'Cause I played with Janelle in "Big Brother."
-Yeah. They say she is tough.
-She's tough, but she's loyal.
I think she'd do a great job as a traitor
because she loves to win, you know?
She will play this, being as a traitor, very hard.
-Yeah. What do you think about Larsa?
I like Larsa, and I know she's a hard worker,
but I just think that couple with her and Marcus.
-You gotta break them up.
You got to.
-Who do you think will do a good job?
-So, it's between Larsa...
Parvati...Sandra...Janelle.
-They could all help us get to the end of the game.
-Yeah, I think so.
**
[ Owl hoots ]
**
-I think we made a good choice.
-I think so, too.
-Shall we? -Yeah.
**
-The huge risk with recruiting this person
is not that they're going to accept it.
I know that they're going to accept becoming a traitor.
What the risk is, is what they're going to do
once they get up in the turret with us,
'cause I'm not sure, at the end of the day,
if I can trust this person.
[ Knock on door ]
[ Door hinges creak ]
[ Footsteps approach ]
-Traitors. -Yes?
-Have you decided who will join you?
-We have. -Yes.
**
-I shall deliver your note swiftly, silently, and secretly.
-Okay.
-Your final member will join you tomorrow night.
They will only learn of your identities when you all meet
for the first time here tomorrow evening.
But your work is not done yet.
Now is the time, my dearest traitors, to murder.
Enjoy.
-Hmm.
[ Door closes ]
**
-* There's a darker side of me *
[ Owl hoots ]
[ Woman vocalizing ]
[ Wolves howling ]
**
-* On fire, there's a traitor in my heart *
* No hope there, there's a traitor in my heart *
**
[ Door hinges creak ]
* There's a darker side *
-Welcome to the dark side.
-* Welcome to the dark side *
[ Bell tolls ]
**
-This season on "The Traitors"...
You never know what's around the corner.
**
This twisting tale is nowhere near finished.
**
[ All gasp ]
-Come on!
-[ Screams ] -Aah!
-Who will be thrown to the wolves?
-Shit!
**
-Whose blood will be on your hands?
**
There's a new guest in my castle.
**
Don't hate the traitors.
[ Echoing ] Hate the game.
-[ Echoing ] Oh, my God.
