02x02 - Welcome to the Dark Side

[bunniefuu]

[ Thunder rumbles ]

-Would you backstab your
best friend to get the money?

-There's nothing I won't do
in this game.

-Previously on "The Traitors,"

an all-star cast arrived
at my castle

deep in the Scottish Highlands.

-Let the games begin.

-How does it feel to be
the second best-dressed guy?

-Back off, bitch.

The players made
a strong start

towards the $250,000 prize pot.

-Guys, connect.

[ Cheering ]
-You've bagged $30,000.

The traitors were chosen.

-Oh, this is my sport.

It’s time to start
making some heads roll.

-I’m definitely going to be
queen of this castle.

-And there was a twist
in my tale.

The traitors
are not yet complete.

One of you could be turned
to the dark side.

Choose wisely, traitors.

-Who do you think
will do a good job?

-It’s between Parvati...

-She can be a shield for us.

-Mm-hmm. Janelle...

-She loves to win.

-...Larsa,

her and Marcus.

-You got to break them up.
-You got to.

What about Sandra?
She’s a good game player.

-This decision could mean
the difference

between victory and defeat.

-The huge risk with
recruiting this person

is I’m not sure at the end
of the day, I can trust them.

-Have you decided
who will join you?

-We have.

-I shall deliver your note
swiftly, silently, and secretly.

Welcome to the dark side.

-I think this new recruit
is going to be

very, very excited to have
the power of being a traitor.

They want to win.

And I think they've got k*lling
in their blood.

-Their reputation
is very cutthroat,

cunning, and deceptive,
which is what we need more of

in the traitor turret right now.

I’m freaking out right now.

I feel, like, electricity
popping in my chest about this.

I’m having, like,
heart palpitations right now.

This is exciting for me.
Now I’m one of them.

One of the people

Yes, I accept
your invitation to be a traitor.

I guess it’s time
to put on my devil horns

and play the dark side.

-So our diabolical duo

is about to become
a treacherous trio.

Parvati won’t know the identity
of her fellow traitors

until tomorrow night.

Before that, though,
Dan and Phaedra

will claim their first victim.

Till death do us part.

-Phaedra, how do you feel
about our decision?

-I think we’ve made
a wise choice.

-I think she’ll help us
get to the end of the game.

-I hope so.

-Are you ready to, like,
m*rder someone?

Like, do you, like -- do you
feel like you got it in you?

-I got it in me.
-[ Laughs ]

-[ Laughs ] Oh, yes, baby.

-This is why I came
to play "Traitors."

I didn’t want to be a faithful
and Kumbaya

and let’s work as a team.

I wanted to operate
in the shadows.

And this is where
I do my best work.

Let’s focus on confusion.

Who can we m*rder...
-Yeah.

-...that’s gonna cause
confusion?

-Confusion.
-Kevin comes to mind.

-I really like Kevin.
He’s a good guy.

-That’s exactly why
we m*rder him.

Kevin hasn’t done
anything to anyone.

We’re going to go
into breakfast,

everyone’s going to come in,
go "Kevin?"

-"What did he do?"
-Yeah.

Phaedra is a Real Housewife,
and she deals with a lot of,

like, backstabbing
and things like that.

But this game is very different.

As we talk, I realize
I can push a little bit

and get my agenda done

so my ideas are the ones
being ex*cuted.

I’m just throwing this out here.

Johnny Bananas.
-Wow.

Well, I sort of
think he’s funny.

-I think he’s someone who has
the ability to catch us.

-He is a wild horse.

But we need to win the missions,
so we don’t want to take out

someone that’s super strong
that can help us win the money.

I’ve never played
this type of game,

and Dan understands exactly what
he’s been placed here to do.

He’s won "Big Brother" twice.
This is Dan’s playground.

But I understand people,

I understand strategy,
and I understand deception.

Okay, so who else?

-What do you think about
murdering Peppermint?

-I think it could be
interesting.

She is an encyclopedia
for reality stars.

She definitely knows
all of our résumés.

-I think at some point,
she’s going to be onto me.

-So we might need to
k*ll Peppermint.

-So we got a bunch
of options on the table.

-But I trust your judgment
on this one.

-Do you feel good
about our first m*rder?

-Yes. I think we’re going
to be a dynamic duo.

-Once we open up this box,
there’s no closing it.

-Shall we sign the warrants?
-Let’s do it.

For our first of many
murders together.

-Yes.

-First m*rder.

But I guess I better
figure it out soon

because I don’t want
to get banished.

there is any noticeable behavior

for, like, anyone now

-Yeah.

-Me and Parvati have history.

It’s not great history,
so I really need to see

Players, you’ve only just met,

but as we all know,
first impressions count.

And no more so than
in today’s mission.

The task is deceptively simple.

All you have to do

is to get to my field of gold
as fast as you can.

And $20,000 worth of gold
is in that field.

To get there, each group
must follow a separate path

along which you will discover
questions in locked boxes.

The questions are about your
opinions on your fellow players.

And the answers are based
on questionnaires

I asked you all
to complete earlier.

You will also meet along the way

a number
of my scarecrow friends.

They were represent
the possible answers.

Simply pick up the scarecrow
you think is the correct answer

and carry it until you reach
the next question box.

If your answer is correct,

that Scarecrow will unlock
the next question.

And you’ll proceed
along the path.

But time is of the essence.

The quicker everyone
gets to the field of gold,

the greater chance you’ll have
of banking some big bucks.

Now listen up.

The field holds
more than just gold.

There will also be three shields
hidden amongst it.

And whoever finds
one of these shields

will be protected
from tonight’s m*rder.

So, my dear players,
it’s a simple dilemma.

What do you value more today?

Money for the group,

or your sole survival?

So get to the field,
get the gold,

and potentially get a life.

-Ah.

and you have 30 minutes
to complete it
