02x03 - m*rder in Plain Sight

[bunniefuu]

-Previously on "The Traitors"...

Dan and Phaedra
committed their first m*rder.

[ All gasp ]

-It's Bananas!

-He was somebody
who can’t be controlled.

-The faithfuls then turned
on one of their own.

-My name has been
floated around.

The person responsible
is Trishelle.

-Peppermint.
-Peppermint.

I found you out.

-I am...

a faithful.
-[ Gasps ] Oh!

-I am not happy right now.

-And the traitors
recruited a final member.

Welcome to the dark side.

By the power invested in me
from these ancient grounds,

I now pronounce you...

a traitor.

-Oh, my God!

[ Laughter ]

-You are crushing it.
-[ Whispers ] Thank you.

-Oh, my God, I had no clue.
Oh, this is a winning team.

-I thought you’d
do a great job.
-Thank you.

Phaedra and Dan
are really savvy.

I had no clue.

-So we were watching you
all day today.

-Okay. How did I do?
-I thought you did
a pretty good job.

-Pretty good?
[ Both laugh ]

-Welcome, my dear,
to the secret circle...

-Thank you.
-...where k*lling
is not a crime.

[ Laughter ]

-There’s a ton of strategy
in recruiting Parvati.

She’s known for being ruthless
and cutthroat.

My hope is that
we can work together

for the long term in this game.

But in the event
that it doesn’t work out,

she’s still an easy person
to shove

to the front of the line to say,
"Hey, look, Parvati
is a traitor."

-So we’ve got to make
a hard decision.
-Okay.

-Who is the next victim?

-So luckily, I’m the only one
that won a shield today.

So it means that we can m*rder
whoever we want.

-Traitor buffet. [ Laughs ]
-[ Laughs ]

-Traitor buffet.

-What about Deontay?

He doesn’t have
a shield right now.

-Ooh.

-Because he could probably
get a shield

for every other challenge
if they’re physical.

-Oh, my God, Lord Jesus,
he is a machine.

-Let’s talk other options.

Right now, I’m just looking at
who can catch on to us.

Marcus -- He’s someone that
I’m really concerned about.

-Marcus was voted
as the person’s opinion

that the players value the most,
so that’s dangerous.
-Mm-hmm.

-Because that means he’s
really controlling the game.

-And he’s got Larsa.
He’s got built-in protection.

I mean, if we m*rder Marcus,
she is going to lose her mind.

-Who else do we think is
well-connected and well-liked?

-Well, the obvious is Janelle.

She’s super smart.
She’s definitely gaming.

-She can do
some damage right now.
-Mm-hmm.

-I’m telling you,
she will cause a problem

for us at the round table.

-People listen to Janelle.
That’s not safe.

-That’s a powerful move,
if we get rid of Janelle.

So what is it, guys?

-How are we going to decide?

from here ♪

♪ All I know is fear ♪

-I hope we made
the right decision.

-Show me how
this works, teachers.
-Okay, all right.

There’s not that much safety
at all in joining a group

that’s already been established.

But this is where all the power
lives inside of this turret.

And now I’m in
the inner circle.

Guys, my first m*rder.

-Good job.
-Thank you.

I can tell you’re a natural.

Congratulations. Mwah!
Little dream team over here.

I want to watch
everyone walking in.

In the life

I get to meet a lot of people.

I have plenty of instincts
about people.

I’m here to play.
I’m here to win.

-I’m going to leave it a chair
just in case Marcus comes.

-Oh, yeah. For sure.
-Don't say, "Just in case."

-I don’t know if he’s coming,
you guys. It's --

-You gotta manifest.

-So who do you think
is potentially in danger?

-I think Trishelle is in danger.
That would make sense,

within what happened yesterday.

To me, it was clear that it
wasn’t Peppermint. Very clear.

-Poor Peppermint.

[ Knock on door ]
-Oh, my God.

-Dang. Here we go, here we go,

Okay. All right.
-Hey!

-Trishelle, we thought
you were going to be offed.

-Yeah, we were scared for you,
Trishelle.

-Yeah, I was scared for me.
-She was scared for herself.

-I am so excited
that I’m not m*rder*d.

I was obviously
very wrong last night

about Peppermint
not being a traitor.

And I feel like
I’m going to pull back

a little bit more today.

-Oh, my God, look at
the two X's. It's so sad.

-I know. I don't --
That looks so mean.

[ Knock on door ]
-Ooh.

-Okay.
-Shh.

-Nope.
-Ahh!

[ Applause ]
-Hi!

-Hey.
-Congrats, guys.

-What's up? What's up?
-How we doing?

-Good to see you guys.
-How’d you guys sleep?

-I had the shield, so I was
like -- it’s the first time

I’m like, "I can relax
for a night."

-I didn’t. I stressed.

I’m curious to see
if this m*rder says anything.

If I was a traitor, though,
I’d be totally randomizing it.

I would do, like,
one pick, okay, for a reason.

And then the second m*rder,
random just to not, like,

allow people
to follow your trail.

So there’s so many routes
you can take.

-Peter’s just putting
together certain theories.

And I think Peter’s
pretty smart

but not smart enough to know
that he’s sitting next to

a traitor at breakfast.

-Good morning.
-Doesn't arise.

-John, who’s not coming, John?

-What’s up, guys?
-Oh! Hey!
-Yeah!

-Super grateful
to be alive right now.

Morals is a huge thing for me,

but this game is about
getting the upper hand,

taking advantage of each other.

I think if I can find
the right people

and narrow it down to the end,
I can just stay alive,

stay under the radar,
and I won’t get k*lled.

-Aah!

Marcus' grave.

-Players,
welcome to the dark side.

Tonight we’re going to go
grave digging for gold.

Your mission is straightforward.

Find the gold that is hidden
in the graves,

tombs, and crypts
in the cemetery behind me.

To get inside
the most valuable burial plot,

you’ll need tools which
are hidden inside the cemetery.

Once you have dug up the gold,
bring it to me

and place it in this wheelbarrow
to add it to your prize fund.

Within some of these tombs
are three shields.

-Ooh, I need a shield.

-If I see a shield,
I’m going to grab it.

I don’t trust anyone anymore.

-That all sounds very
straightforward, doesn’t it?

But that’s not all.

Behold!

-Oh!

-Oh, sh*t.
-sh*t.
-Okay.

-My seeking searchlights.

If any player gets caught in
any of the searchlights' beams,

you will be immediately
eliminated from the mission,

along with any gold
you are carrying.

Half of you will start
in the cemetery.

The rest of you will stand
by the gates awaiting your turn.

Each time someone is caught
in the searchlights,

another player
will take their place

and join the search for gold.

Once you’re out, you’re out.

Please now choose
the first nine of you to play.

-Who wants to go
in the beginning?
-Okay. I’ll go.

-I’ll do as I’m told.
Whatever people want.

-I immediately know that I
want to be in the second group.

It would be more strategic
to have the guinea pigs

in the front
to kind of die out,

and I can watch
how the game works,

and then I can go in
and potentially get a shield.

-So you on my left
are the starting group.

You on my right
are the substitutes.

-Tonight I’m going to show
my team how valuable I am,

because I wasn’t strong enough
or tall enough

to get the scarecrows off
on the last mission,

but this time, I am short enough
to bend down and dig.

So I am going to dig
for my life.

Now!

-Go go, go! Look at the light.
