02x07 - Blood on Their Hands

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "The Traitors"...

Banishment, my dear friend,
should be your fate tonight.

I am a faithful.

- I'm a faithful.
- A faithful.

- I'm a faithful, you idiots.
- Oh, my God.

After losing four faithfuls
to banishment...

I am a traitor.
[ Cheers and applause ]

...a traitor was finally caught
by the faithful.

The traitors are weakened,
but beware,

a predator
is most dangerous when wounded.

There is an alliance in that
castle gunning for you and me.

Tonight, you must either
m*rder a faithful

or try and seduce one
to join you as a traitor.

Here's my idea.

We seduce Peter and watch him
m*rder his friends.

Do what you want to do.

All you need to do
is write their name

on this anonymous invitation,
and I will deliver it to them.

That faithful
then has a choice.

They can either accept
or refuse your offer.

I want him on my team,
and I want him working with me.

"Dear Peter, we wish
to recruit you as a traitor."

Oh, my God.



[ Wolf howls ]



Tonight, we'll have
a new recruit,

and we'll have to have him
swear an oath of allegiance.



I mean, it's better to turn
the guy who's against you--

[ Knock on door ]



[ Door creaks open ]



Peter refused your attempt
at seduction.

[ Gasps ]

Oh, my God.

Very disappointing.

Parvati.

I know. Well, I tried.

I'm a faithful till the end.

I want to be a part
of winning this the right way.

There's no way in the world
I could betray, like, my team.

Like, looking into
Bergie's eyes,

looking into Trishelle's eyes,
like, I have given them my word.

Like, I can't.
There's no way I could do that.

What a dummy.

I guess he doesn't
want to win that badly.

Things have gone from bad
to a lot, lot worse for you

this evening.
- Yes.

There will be
no m*rder tonight,

and everyone will turn up
at breakfast tomorrow.

Mm.

It's not a good look for me.

This could be your last meal.

The game continues, traitors.

Mm.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

- That Bachelor is not seducible.
- Mm.

Peter is a piece of work,
and she knew that.

So I guess she's going
to have to work out

the work that she has.

This is-- This is very bleak.

I'm shocked. I'm devastated.

But a test of a true traitor's
character is what she does

when her back's
against the wall.

- Yeah.
- I will rise from the ashes.

- I know, like a phoenix.
- I will find a way through.

I will march on.

Peter's definitely dangerous.
He's clever.

He's a full-on bloodhound.

So I think I've got
my work cut out for me.

♪ There's no way
I'm fallin' down ♪

♪ Down ♪



With no recruitment
or m*rder taking place,

the traitors are now
on the back foot.

But as everyone makes their way
to breakfast,

the faithfuls
are none the wiser.

First ones in.

Oh, snap.

Oh, my.
Oh, my God.

Now we get to watch
everybody else.

Okay. [ Exhales slowly ]

Where do you want to sit?

Let's go at the end
of the table so we can watch.

Okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Duh.

My nerves are absolutely
everywhere right now

because last night,

Parvati's decision
was the worst decision ever.

And just hope that
it doesn't come back on me.

[ Exhales slowly ]

I don't think
they'll m*rder Kate,

so I'm thinking it's going to be
Peter, Trishelle, or John.

So you think
they'll break up your crew?

- Yep.
- But y'all are like a g*ng.

We are. We are.
I'm not going to lie.

[ Knock on door ]
- Come in.

- Hey!
- Hey!

Is it just you?
Oh! What's up Kate?

- Ohhhhh.
- Hey.

Hi.

- Oh, M.J., you're here, too.
- M.J.

How you doing?

So last night's banishment,
we finally got out a traitor.

- Which felt so good.
- Oh, that felt so good.

We all thought Dan,
in our group, was a traitor.

We all-- our number two
was all Parvati.

After that, we have no idea.

- Yeah.
- Like, we're back to square one.

We don't need to worry yet
about that.

- Yeah.
- Just one at a time.

One at a time. Yep.

[ Knock on door ]

Here we go.

C.T. I called it.
[ Chuckles ]

- Yeah.
- Oh-ho-ho-ho.

Parvati.

- Oh, Sandra.
- Ooh.

- Hi, everybody.
- Good morning, beautiful.

I'm not sure what's going
to happen at breakfast.

I don't know if Peter's
going to say

that he was attempted
to be recruited,

and that he chose to decline the
invitation and stay faithful.

Either way, I'm thinking
Peter's going to paint

a target on his back if he talks
about the recruitment.

So I am ready for whatever
comes out of Peter's mouth

and I'm ready for battle today.

How's everyone feeling?

- Good. How are you feeling?
- Very good.

I'm not shocked to see Parvati.

I think Parvati is
a lot of people's

number-one suspect
right now

and is definitely up
for banishment today.

Who do we think got m*rder*d,
by the way?

I have a bad feeling it's John.

At this point, I don't know.

[ Knock on door ]

- Oh, here we go.
- Oh, okay.

Peter!
[ Women cheer ]

John.

- Hey, John.
- Welcome.

What's up? What's up?

How are we doing?

- Hi, Pete.
- I'm so happy to see you.

- Hi, John.
- Hi.

- Oh, my God.
- Whoo!

I believe that Parvati
is a traitor

and she gave me
that recruitment letter.

I've been extremely
aggressive on her.

I'm not-- not letting up whatsoever.

- Peter, you are alive!
- Oh, Pete!

[ Laughter ]

Okay. Alright.



Alright.

So who we waiting on?
- So it's Trishelle and Kevin.

Oh, my God.

- I think it's Trishelle.
- I mean, it's a 50/50.

[ Knock on door ]

Uh-oh.

About to find out.

- Kevin!
- Kevin!

- Hey, John. What?
- Wow.

Everybody's here.

- Everyone's here?
- We're all here.

- What happened?
- No one was m*rder*d.

Everyone came back.

That means one person
was recruited.

Whenever there's a recruitment,
there's not a m*rder.

- Yep, somebody got recruited.
- Oh, no.

He doesn't say a word
about the recruitment.

If Peter's going to try
to hold on to this recruitment

that he turned down,
then I can manipulate him.

- Ooh.
- Wow.

- Wow.
- Good morning.

- Morning.
- Ooh.

- Good morning...
- Morning.

...my little band
of rogues and knaves.

- [ Laughs ]
- You may be wondering

why we have a full complement
of breakfast pastries

and a full complement of players
at the table this morning.

- Mm.
- Well, you may ask,

but I will not be answering.
- Huh.

You can figure this out
on your own.

Mm.

Besides, we have a mission
to get to.

First, though, I have a
philosophical question for you.

If a reality star falls
in the forest

and there is no one there
to hear it,

do they make a sound?

Well, we might be about
to find out.

Auf wiedersehen.

Oh, no. We're running
around the woods.

Ugh!

So who got recruited?

This game is still afoot.

Even if there is
a ton of suspicion on me,

now we can throw
some suspicion on Peter.

I know that there is a way
for the traitors

to reclaim our power.

All I have to do is survive.
I just have to stay in the game.

We got a new traitor
in the house.

- Oh.
- Mm.

Is it you, Peter?

We shall see.

[ Laughs ]

Hmm.

Hey, let's not judge
our faithfuls.

Maybe they said,
"No, thank you."

Yeah, someone could've got
a letter last night

and denied it
and they're not saying it.

Yeah.

Raise your hand
if you got the letter.

Anybody?



Hmm.

Hmm. Somebody's lying.

Hmm.

I have no plans
to reveal the information

about the recruitment today
at breakfast.

My plan is to see if there's
a way to play it later on

in order to get Parvati out.

It's her or me.

Well, Parvati,

I guess this means
you're not a traitor

if I'm still here.
- That's a change of tune.

Now you're saying
I'm not a traitor?

The fact that I'm still here,
is that what that means?

I don't know.
You've been gunning for me

for a very long time, Peter.

That's a big change of heart.

Oh, my God.

I am done with his
smug, little smile looking at me

like he's got it all
figured out.

Today I've got
my predatory headband on,

and I'm coming
for that Bachelor.

- We're off.
- Which room?

Let's go to the bar.
To the bar.

Yeah.

- Um...
- Okay.

Alright. This has to be quick.
Come here.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay, what I'm about to say
is going to be shocking.

There might be some doubts.

Please trust me that I am going
with you guys until the end.

It's no secret
that Parvati and I

are mortal enemies right now.

Obviously,
now a target's on my back.

My time is limited.

I need to be able to convince
my group of faithfuls

that I have all my trust in
to take Parvati out,

and we cannot miss.

Who do you think got
a recruitment letter last night?

- You must have.
- Yeah.

- You did?
- Yeah.

I promise you guys all
I declined it.

I promise you.
- I trust you.

I didn't want to say
anything in there

'cause I have a plan
to protect all of us,

at least for a couple of nights.

Tonight, we have
to banish Parvati.

After we banish Parvati,

it's going to be revealed
that she's a traitor.

So now it's two traitors
in a row.

- Hey.
- What's up, Phaedra?

- One second, Phaedra.
- But can you give us a minute?

- Oh, okay.
- Thank you so much.

Peter and his pals,
the Peter Pals,

they have their secret meetings

and dismiss people
from the rooms.

I'm not happy with this at all.
I just went in there. They said,

"Hey, could you not come in?"

- [ Gasps ]
-"We need to have privacy."

- Who said that? Who said that?
- Peter.

- Peter said that?
- They are having a full on--

Okay, then I need to go--
I need to go over there.

Okay,
this is what I wanted to do.

I wanted to keep Parvati because
she's like a wounded bird.

She's by herself. She doesn't
have anybody on her side.

Phaedra has everybody
on her side.

My thought is,
last night at round table,

Dan called out a traitor.

My vote is for Phaedra.

I think that Phaedra's
a traitor.

She's looking
the most suspicious.

The Bravo people,

how do they stop
four people here?

So they're all going
to vote together always.

Then, Phaedra, if she stays,

then she's going to have
all the Bravo people

and they're all--

and then C.T. is, like, a swing
and Sandra's a swing.

- Trust me. Trust me.
- Okay.

Hear this plan,
Hear-- Hear this plan.

Have to banish Parvati tonight.

I feel like that's too risky.

I feel like my plan
might be better.

- This is how--
- Knock, knock.

- What's up, M.J.?
- M.J., you mind?

I'm so sorry. For one second.

M.J., give us one minute?

Give you one minute
of privacy because...?

You are going to love
our plan.

- Going to love this, but--
- Shh, shh.

Well... So... I'm...

I don't want to be
left out of something.

You won't be. Promise you.

Yeah.

- A minute.
- Okay.

Yeah.

I don't like that door.



It's me.
They said to leave.

- Peter said that?
- They told you to leave?

Yeah.

I think Peter is a traitor.

He causes so much chaos,
so much drama.

He does more harm than good.

And he has an alliance
of five people.

So it's a numbers game.

So come here.
Come to the pool table.

Okay.

Peter is the boss protected
by Trishelle and Bergie, right?

I really like
where this is going.

This is going to be John,
and this has to be Kevin.

This is us, right?

- Okay,
- Here's my theory.

If the traitor's here,
were screwed, right?

Because then they'll decide
who gets m*rder*d, right?

What happens is, if they m*rder
and banish two people

from this group, now there's
only five against five.

Mm-hmm.

So let's say these five
vote one of us out,

and now we're outnumbered
because we only have four.

Yeah, so we can't
let that happen.

So what has to happen today
without failure for us

to get one step further

is that one of these
has to be banished.

- I agree.
- This is the best thing

I've ever experienced.

This is why my knowledge
of "Survivor" helps me,

because I'm able to show
everyone how the numbers look,

how they can be dissected,
how I figured it out,

and I'm hoping
that they're able to see

exactly what I'm showing them.

The leftovers have to prevail,

and that's what we are,
the leftovers,

because we're not part of the
most faithful of the faithful.

Why all of a sudden is Peter
coming into breakfast saying,

"I'm not a traitor," now?

He was so dead set, 100%.
- That's what I was wondering,

So, all of a sudden,
he's changing his story.

He just put a target
on his back then.

If Peter's the head traitor,
let's take him out.

Let's take him out.

The only way this works

is if every single person
votes the same.

Do you think Parvati's
feeling a bit vulnerable?

Yeah. For sure.

Make a decision, and we're
going to stick with it.

Peter. Peter. Peter. Peter.

- Peter.
- Peter.

This is very good for me.

Peter thinks he is
on his high horse.

He thinks
he's running this show.

I cannot wait to watch
that smug smile fall

off of his lips
when he gets banished.

I am going to be dancing
all the way to the turret.

That's what's happening.
- Okay.

[ Bell tolling ]

Battle lines may have been
drawn in the castle,

but in today's mission,
traitors and faithful

must come together to try
and add money to the prize pot,

which currently stands
at $95,500.

Players, welcome to the woods
of Darach McDorman.

an ancient place filled
with beauty, wildlife, folklore,

and lots
and lots of deadly traps.

Oh [bleep]

Traps?

For this mission, you will
need to carry this gold through

to the other side of these woods
without getting caught.

Uh-oh.

If you get all the gold
through my fatal forest,

you will add $25,000
to the prize pot.

Okay.

Alright, Daddy.

For this task, you will go
through the woods in pairs.

We believe in the buddy system.

Please now select
your traveling partner.

How you doing?

Oh, this is going
to be slippery.

[ Chuckling ]
John, are you ready for this?

Ugh, this is going
to be a disaster.

[ Chuckles ]

So now you're in your pairs,

each bag contains
a specific amount of gold,

from small potatoes
to big bucks.

There's a $10,000,

a $7,000 bag, a $5,000 bag,
a $1,500, $1,000, and $500 bag.

How much money do you trust
each other to carry?

Please decide who is taking
which bag-- now.

Um, what do you
guys want to do?

We'll take $500.
We'll take $500.

Okay, we'll take the $7,000.

- You want to take the $10,000?
- I'll take the $10,000.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Peter and I are like,

"Of course we're going to get
the $10,000 bag

'cause we are
the best team here.

We do well at these missions,
and I think we're going to win.

You guys could do
more than $500.

That was the smallest amount,
so if we lose,

no skin off anybody's back.

What can you really do
with $500?

You can't buy a good pair
of shoes with that.

Now, listen up.

At various points on your
journey, the paths will split.

You must choose which route
to take by answering a question

along your chosen route,
you will find a scroll.

One of you must pick this up
and read it.

This will reveal whether
you have the question right

or wrong.

If it's correct,
you're on the right path,

and you may continue
your journey.

If it's wrong, the person
who picks up the scroll

will be caught in a trap

and out of the mission.
- [ Gasps ]

If both players are unlucky
enough to get caught,

you will lose the gold
you are carrying

as well as your dignity,

if indeed you had any
in the first place.

I'm losing more every day.

I can confirm there are
up to two

of these precious shields
on the line today.

The player or players
that make it through the wood

in the fastest time will win
a precious shield or shields.

Parvati hates me.
Like, she's got to hate me.

I turned down a recruitment.

I need to be able
to protect myself,

and just having a shield
would make me feel so good.

So, players, are you prepared
to meet your leafy doom?

- No!
- Come with me.



Three, two, one.

Go!
- [ Laughs ]

- Okay, let's go.
- Run for your lives.

They were never seen again.

- Are you with me?
- Yeah. I'm with you.

Stay with me.
Stay with me.

[Bleep]

It's a little bit muddy.

Kevin is a part of the clique
with Peter,

but he's someone that I know
can help me to win a shield.

This is how I play to win.

Alright, be careful
right here.

Slippery? Oh, my God.
Okay. Here.

"What is the name of the woods?
The woods of Dorman McDarach.

Darach McDorman."
He said this. Alan said this.

- I don't remember anything.
- Left?

- Just go left.
- Alright, let's go.

Darren McDorman
or Dorman McDarach.

Oh, sh*t. You good?
- Yeah.

Darren Mc...

No, I have zero idea.
Honestly, this is a guess.

"Choose one person
to discover your fate."

Oh my God. Alright, I'll go.
- You or me?

- You got it?
- Yeah.

Get the scroll.
- Okay.

- Oh, sh*t.
- sh*t!

- Oh, my God.
- Ugh!

Welcome to the woods
of Darach McDorman.

[Bleep]

Can't believe we got out
on the first one.

I'm just standing here
in a state of full shock.

But just to see the Bachelor
covered in mud like that,

just not at his best,
it's kind of funny.

I'm sorry.

Alright, so it's all you.

- Okay.
- Damn it. [Bleep]

This is a huge shock.

I did not see this coming.
You know, I'm bummed.

I'm bummed. If I ever
needed a shield, it's now.

"What is the name
of the woods?"

Darach Mc-- Mc--
It's Darach McDorman.

Darach. Darach. I think
it's-- I want to say right.

It was, like, very,
"Darach McDorman."

This-- This way. Let's go.
I'm a great listener

and I remember how these "D"
words rolled off of his tongue.

"Darach McDorman."

There's the scroll right there.
- Alright.

Correct. We got it right.
- Thank you, Lord.

- Oh, dear God. Be right.
- We are right. We are right.

- Correct. Whoo!
- We're right.

"You've chosen the right path."
Correct.

Correct.

We did it right, yeah.

Good job, good job.
Be careful.

I think it's McDarsh.

"Mac-a-darsh."

I have a really good feeling
with this first question.

This is no problem.
I think it's left.

We're going left.

Good luck if I don't get this.

Whoo!

I think we failed.

Oh, hell nah.

I did so bad in this mission.
I was not expecting that.

sh*t. Hell, no.

"What is missing from
the center of this symbol?"

Wait a minute.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

That's not the round table,
is it?

Oh, it is.
I think it's got to be this.

The pattern on the round table
looks like a huge sunburst,

so I think-- I think this one
is definitely the sun.

You sure? Final answer?

- Final answer. Let's go.
- Alright.

Let's go. Come on.
- You got it?

Oh, God.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

There is the scroll right there.
Do I have to stop back there?

No, I got it,
I got it, I got it.

- Okay, Lord.
- Oh.

I think it would be-- oh.
- [ Screams ]



Oh, my God.

I think it was the moon!

I think it was the moon.
I'm sorry.

"What is missing from
the center of the symbol?"

What symbol is in the middle
of the round table?

I don't know. I'm never
standing over the table.

I'm not setting the table.

Sun has to be
in the center of the moon.

Yeah, it's a solar system. Okay.

Let's go.

I want to say the moon.

Or is it the sun?

I'mma say the sun.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh. Oh, my God!

Oh, here it is.

[ Screams ]

Help!

We're going to go
under this tree.

How you doing?
- I'm okay.

Okay.

I'm pretty delighted
to be paired up with John

because people trust him.

I need him on my side.

Okay,
You want to go check it out?

Just rip it open
with your teeth.

"Correct.
You've chosen the right path."

Alright, let's go.
Go, go go.

You got this.
You can go first.

Correct. Let's go. Let's go.

With three teams now
just down to one player

and with Shereé caught,

the $5,000 she was carrying
has been lost.

The opportunity to take home
the remaining $20,000

has just got a lot tougher.

Oh, man.

I'm scared to be by myself
in the woods.

Oh, Lord.

I am having so much anxiety
because I have to do it alone.

My worst nightmare.

Oh, Jesus. Oh, Lord.

Ugh! She's chilling
in a leaf hammock.

I'm getting ticks.

Aah!
I'm over this sh*t.

Ooh! No! [Bleep]

"Which Latin phrase
is written in the kitchen?

I mean, it's,
"Keep your friends close,

keep your enemies closer."
[Bleep]

I mean, I don't spend
that much time in the kitchen.

I prefer the bar.

[Bleep] Okay.

I'm going to go with
"keep your enemies close"

'cause you kind of do
in this game.

Alright, this is it.

Here we go.

Oh [bleep]

[Bleep]

"Keep your enemies close.
Keep your friends close."

Enemies.

Okay, Lord. Okay, Lord.

"Keep your enemies closer."

Okay, that's the right way.

[ Grunts ]

Oh, Jesus.

[ Screams ]

Oh.

[ Sighs ]

Y'all got to get me
out of here now.

I feel like
I'm back in the womb.

As far as I'm concerned,
this mission

could have gone way worse.
I got to be in a hammock.

I didn't get dirty.
I'm considering this a win.

Fast walk, okay?
Watch it, though.

Okay, come on.
Over the rocks, John. Okay.

Parvati and I-- she's the
leader, and I'm the follower.

I'm pleased and, yes,
a little surprised.

"Correct.
You've chosen the right path."

Well done, Parvati.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

- Go.
- Okay. Okay.

Correct. Let's go. Let's go.

Last one. We can do this.

I'm out of breath.
My heart is b*ating.

This mission by far,
is the hardest

that I've ever done,
but I just got to keep going.

With four pairs
lost to the forest.

There is now only
$8,000 left in play,

but there could be an added
bonus for our remaining couples.

Successfully answer
the final question,

and two shields will be awarded
to the quickest pair

that exit the woods.

We're good, Sandra.
Come on. Let's go.

[ Panting ]

Okay, John.

The dynamic duo
of Parvati and John.

A sweet bonding moment
for me and him.

We have one question left.
We're going to crush this.

Okay, okay. "Which portrait wall
is correct?"

I-- Maybe it's-- Maybe
it's this one that's right.

Okay, we're looking
at these portraits.

I am really not sure.

Even though I see it every
single time I go into breakfast.

We got to do it quickly
because there's

some shields on the line.

Do you remember
who's next to you?

Is Peppermint next to you
on this side or on this side?

I just don't remember.

"Which portrait wall
is correct?"

"Which portrait wall
is correct?"

It's this one, correct?
- Yeah.

She was at the left.
Let's go.

- Help me up.
- I got it. Come on, let's go.

I think this one is right.

Let's go this way.
- Okay, right.

Let's do it.
Okay, you good here?



"Congratulations.

You made it successfully
through the woods."

Keep walking.
Come on. We got it.

Come on.
- What does it say?

Yeah, we were correct,
but it's about time now.

Let's go.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

- We're there.
- Wow, Parvati,

you're the triumphant warrior,
the ultimate survivor.

- [ Chuckles ]
- Kevin.

Both of us did it.

I felt like we did it
in a good amount of time,

but I'm not certain.

I would love to have a shield.

I've never won a shield.

- [ Panting ]
- This is everything to me.

Players, as the saying goes,
fortune favors the gold.

[ Rolls tongue ]

C.T. and Phaedra,
Trishelle and Peter,

Bergie and Shereé,
Kate and M.J.,

you were all sadly trapped
amongst the trees

and therefore failed
to bank anything.

- Wow.
- Oh, my God.

John and Parvati,
Kevin and Sandra,

you made it all the way
to the end

and managed to bank $8,000
for the prize pot.

- Whoo!
- Let's go, guys.

- Good job y'all.
- Oh, my God.

At least we got something.
- Wow.

And two of you escaped
with something

even more precious than gold.

I can now reveal...

the players who made it
through the forest fastest

and who won shields

protecting them tonight
from the traitors' tentacles...

are...

...Kevin and Sandra.
- Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]
- Finally.

- I got the--
- Congratulations to you.

- Yes.
- Good job.

It feels like safety,

and it also feels amazing

that I can win it
a little bit later in the game.

Aw, man, we didn't
get the shield,

but, thankfully, Peter
did not get the shield either.

I can't wait to k*ll him.

A mission well done, players,
but you're not

out of the woods yet.
- [ Gasps ]

I have a little surprise
for you all later.



We showed up with some--
we got some money,

we got-- one of our five
is for sure safe.

That's a win. That's a win.
- Yeah, yeah, that's great.

We just got to survive
this banishment and this m*rder.

That's the only way
we are all moving forward.

Oh, my God, girl,
I'm so proud of us.

We did so good.



[ Inhales sharply ]



- Right.
- Oh.

- Oh, my God.
- C.T.

- I found shield.
- Yeah, where did you find that?

Does that count?

That's what I'm thinking.
I don't know.

I'm willing to give anything
a try at this point.

[ Laughs ]

[ Clock ticking ]

- Peter? Peter?
- Yeah, I'm okay with that.

We're going to banish Peter,
and we're all on the same page.

Thank God.

Where is Peter, anyway?

All the girls is in there with
the queens' counsel right now.

Queens-- plural "S."
- Oh, really?

As of right now.
If we were in the round table

right now,
I would vote for Peter,

but, again, I am open to hear
what anybody has to say.

You're on the block.

On the block
for a banishment tonight?

Yeah.

That's the first
I heard of that.

- Who's going to--
- I'm not going into

into all the details
with all that,

'cause now we're here.

For the first time,
I felt banishment heat.

So definitely a little bit
of paranoia going on right now.

Alright. Cheers.

I got to get down
to the bottom of this.

I hear there's a queens' counsel
that I should be getting in on.

No, we're just
talking around.

- Can we talk now?
- Yeah, I want--

- Y'all want to talk longer?
- Yeah, you can talk.

Was there something
that I missed, or...?

No, no, no, I'm just
trying to hear

what everybody got to say, child.

What is going on?

[ Exhales sharply ] Wow.

Let's go in the armory.

The armory?
Have a conversation?

This is somewhat suspicious

because we generally
aren't in each other's company.

Do you two have
a consensus at all,

or are you guys separate?

- I mean... [ Sighs ]
- Obviously, Parvati,

is there something convincing
that you have or, like--

I mean, I guess I'll just
save it for the round table,

because if everyone's already
going to be targeting me anyway,

it might as well
just speak my piece there

rather than do it
in little pockets.

Yeah, 'cause, see,
this is what I don't like,

this kind of stuff.
Like, I don't like this.

It's-- I don't like it.

Or we could work together.

You want to work together
and get somebody out?

No, don't-- don't--
don't-- don't--

I don't like
that kind of stuff.

Don't leave yet.

But I don't want to be
in no, uh, collusion.

Mnh-mnh. Y'all talk.
- Strange.

Like, I don't know.
If you think I'm a traitor,

why would you want
to work with me?

I'm like,
"Okay, what is that about?"

But I'm not buying into that
because I know Peter loves

to put out traps,
and he likes to play the game,

and he's definitely willing
to do anything to win the game.

So that's the most
dangerous player.



Players!

- What is that?
- Oh, God.

Players!

- Oh, God.
- Who is that?

It sound like Alan.

Players,
please don your coats and boots

and meet me in the woods
in 10 minutes.

Oh, boy.
Something weird is happening.

We're going on an outing--
a deadly outing.

I'll see you down
by the river shortly.

Don't be scared.

Well, maybe a little bit scared.
- Oh, no.

What is happening?

Are we going to have
a round table outside tonight?

What is going on?

I have, like, full-body anxiety
right now.



♪ I am ♪

♪ Running ♪

♪ The end ♪

♪ Is coming ♪

♪ Who will ♪

♪ Save me? ♪

♪ And who is about
to betray me? ♪

Wow, this is spooky.

Definitely not the round table.

Do you think this is
a good party or a bad party?

- Who knows what's in store?
- We have no idea

what we're walking into.

Don't know what to expect,
which is an unsettling feeling.



[ Wolf howls ]

Welcome, players.

I bet you thought
you'd escaped my forest.

How wrong you were.

I don't know
what's about to happen.

My anxiety is at level 10.

Tonight, there will be
no round table.

♪ You are surrounded ♪

There would be no banishment.

♪ We are watching you ♪

Tonight, you will have
the power

to change the course
of this entire game.

♪ Who will ♪

♪ Save me? ♪

♪ And who is about to
betray me? ♪

This evening, the traitors
will m*rder once more.

You now have the power to decide
who will be spared

that fatal blow.

Look around at your comrades.

Soon you will decide who
you want to save from m*rder,

and at the end of tonight,
five players will be left

at the mercy of the traitors...

...and one of them
will be m*rder*d.

This is definitely dangerous.

I don't like not having control.

If I can't banish Peter tonight,
I have to m*rder him.

Kevin, Sandra, you both won
a shield in today's mission.

The power to protect
lies in your hands,

Kevin and Sandra.

Your torches burn bright,

and, therefore, you are
protected from tonight's m*rder.

Please pick me.

I have been stressed out
this whole game. Please.

To my core, I am a faithful
till the end,

and it's going to stay that way.

So I think we could work
together to win this.

Heart rate is going through
the roof right now.

Was not expecting this.
Holy sh*t.

I'm thinking I'm going to be
on the chopping block 100%.

I'm hoping someone
gives me a shield.

Very well, players.

Kevin and Sandra, please come
in front of the fire pit

to privately discuss
who you would like to save.

I just can't imagine
who they're going to agree on.

It can only be one person,

and I feel
I'm really close with Sandra.

Um...

This decision is huge.

I need it to be our group
that got the majority

of the people through,
keeping our numbers strong.

- What do you think?
- I agree.

- You agree?
- Yeah. Let's do it.

- Okay. Okay.
- I don't have no issues.

One of you must now light
the torch of the player

you would like to protect.

Which of you will
take on this duty?

I will.

Kevin, please return
to your place.

Sandra, go forth and light
the torch of the person

you and Kevin wish to protect
from tonight's m*rder.



I feel like,
if it's Sandra's call,

she's going to choose me.



I'm really, really,
really disappointed.

It's really awkward
and uncomfortable and painful.

Thank you.

The power to protect
now lies in your hands.

You must now light
the torch of the player

you want to protect
from tonight's m*rder.

- A lot of pressure, Alan.
- Mm-hmm.

That's the name of the game.

Walk to who you would
like to pick.



Thank you, Shereé.

Shereé, why did you pick
Phaedra?

I picked Phaedra because
I don't feel like people

should be targeting people
because of the show

that we're on.
I believe she's faithful.

There you are. It's okay.

Phaedra, how are you feeling?

- Emotional.
- Emotional?

- Very.
- Oh, my God. This is intense.

[ Sniffles ]

I've known Shereé
for well over 20 years.

We've got a history that none
of these people will understand.

So my emotion is about life
coming around full circle

and bringing us here
at this moment.

Whew!

And so, Phaedra, the power to
protect now lies in your hands.

Please save me. You know
how much I've struggled.

But it's up to you,
and I won't hold it against you.

I'm not pleading
for my life right now

because I'm pretty sure

that Phaedra's going
to save me anyways.

Phaedra, please come
and light

the torch of the player
you would like to protect.



Huh. That's strange.

I thought for sure
Phaedra would light up my torch.

So that-- It's a surprise,
and I'm questioning her now.



I mean, look, if Phaedra
wants to light my torch,

you know, I'm not going to--

I'm not going to be rude
and say no.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's nice and toasty
over here.

[ Blows ]

C.T., only two more players
can be protected,

but seven still
remain vulnerable.

C.T. and I have two decades
of knowing each other,

so there is no doubt in my mind
that he is going to save me.

Oh [bleep]



I'm torn between
Trishelle and John.

Do I protect a friendship--
I do trust Trishelle.

However, I just think that John

is just really important
to the faithfuls.

Friendship or the game?
Friendship or the game?

[ Sighs ]

In my heart of hearts,
I want to go with John.

If we're playing the game,
it's not about friends.

Hope everyone can understand.

I literally feel like Alan
sh*t me in the chest

with a b*llet.

I cannot believe
this is happening.

I don't know whether to scream
or cry or just set C.T. on fire.

I don't know.

I'm just completely devastated.

If you're going to burn me
like this,

then at least respect me enough
to look me in the eye.

There can only be one more
person protected from m*rder.

M.J., Peter,

Bergie, Kate,

Parvati, and Trishelle,

you are still at risk
of being m*rder*d,

but would anyone here like

to make a final plea
for their lives?

I think it's obvious
that I've become an enemy

to the traitors.

So I'd be very grateful
for your torch.

Thank you.

John, I'm-- obviously,
I'm begging for my life.

I've been with you
since day one.

You know that I'm a faithful.

I would continue the rest
of this game with you

on the same page.

You carry upon your shoulders,
John, a grim responsibility.

You must now light the torch of
who you would like to protect.



John and I have developed
a great trust

with each other.
I revealed to him early on

he was actually the first person
that I was 100% confident in.

He knows that I am an asset
to the faithfuls

that I can help us win.
He's going to pick me.

He's going to pick me.
But you never know.

[ Wolf howls ]



I need Peter out of this game.

So I'm, like,
"Pick anyone but Peter."

He's the star of the faithfuls.

I am terrified
if I don't get saved

Those traitors are murdering me.





Last-minute save from John.

He essentially
gives me a shield.

Thank God for that man.
I love John.

Huge sense of relief.

Obviously, I'm safe
for one more night,

and I have a feeling
the traitors weren't too happy

I made it through that
'cause I think I was gone

if it wasn't for John.

Thank you, John.

I was devastated,
like, rocked to my core.

I-- I can't believe it.

Why did you choose Peter?

Peter is mighty clever...

...and I think
he's forensically focused

on finding
the remaining traitors.

Thank you, John.

[ Exhales slowly ]

I was looking at what Peter
was putting out

as far as his nervousness,
his anxiety.

There's a chance
that Peter is 100% a faithful.

Peter becomes the last player

to be spared
from tonight's m*rder.

Those protected from m*rder,
head back to the castle now.



That was very enlightening.

He's the only person
that I didn't expect that from.

I don't know if I should cry
or what I should do.

I'm just hurt.
I'm humiliated.

And the worst part is--
is that it was C.T. that did it.

Bergie, Trishelle, Parvati.
Kate, and M.J.,

You five are the sacrificed,

and one of you
will be m*rder*d tonight.

Sleep well.

- I can't.
- Please head back to the castle.

- [ Exhales sharply ]
- Wow, this one cuts.



♪ I'll pray for your hope ♪

♪ And your dreams ♪

That was intense.

Everybody was very gracious,
I thought.

Don't suppress your emotions.

Tell them how you feel.
- I feel like sh*t.

Like, I honestly do.
- I appreciate this closure,

and I'd like to think now
that all this happened,

we're here, and we can
move forward as the--

Okay.
- Hi, Bergie.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi, friends.

Oh.

Hi.
- I'm grabbing some wine.

We need wine.

- You hate me?
- Huh?

- You hate me?
- I...

I don't think you care
either way.

It doesn't feel good.

But, you know,
you're put on the spot.

[ Sighs ]

Yeah, I think she's more
disappointed in me

than anything.

I just thought that C.T. and I
were turning over a new leaf

and our friendship.
It--

I just really felt like
he was my brother and--

in this game.
It just sucks

'cause, I mean, obviously I
think we're closer than we are.

[ Sniffles ]

When people get hit
under certain pressures,

they-- they come--
they become--

they go into survival mode,
and then all bets are off.

Well, I guess you guys
are feeling good.

Nice and safe.
- With Parvati,

I'm not sure how much
I can trust her anymore

because she's acting icy cold,

and that makes her look suspicious.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

I do want some red wine
because I'm very angry.

Look, I don't find fault
in anyone's choices,

but that doesn't mean
it doesn't hurt.

Are you okay, M.J.?

Why would I be okay?
Having to stand there

and watch one person
after another

that I built a relationship
just go, "You don't get to go,"

and then five other people
also don't.

Why would I feel good?

I'm just very,
very disappointed and angry

about what we have to just
stand there and watch go down.

I was nobody's first choice,

and that is a tough pill
to swallow.

Have you talked to C.T.?

No, he didn't want to
talk to me.

- He didn't?
- Well, I don't know.

He didn't talk to me, so--

Did you approach him and say,
"Hey, let's have a chat"?

Well, she wants him
to do that.

- You want him to-- I get it.
- Do you feel like I need to?

Like, I'm not the one
who hurt him.

I guess he just doesn't
want to see me, and that's fine.

He doesn't want to deal with,
like, someone emotional.

I get it. [ Sniffles ]
- C.T.

Oh, you guys finish.
No, you guys finish.

No, he wants-- she--
you should get in here, C.T.

She wanted you to come up
to her and talk to her.

I didn't want--
I didn't want to force you

to talk if you didn't want
to talk to me.

Of course I want to talk.

Well, then,
why didn't you come grab me?

Well, 'cause I didn't know
if it was okay to.

Why not? I'm not mad at you.
I'm hurt.

It sucks to, like,
feel like you are caring more

about a friendship
than the other person does.

[ Sighs ]

It-- It's actually not
about the game.

It's more... [ Sighs ]
- It's more about friendship.

If someone had lit my fire,
I was going to give it to you.

And I just feel--
I thought that we were, like,

turning over a new leaf,
and it just upset me.

I don't know. I don't...
[ Sighs ]

I didn't--
- I trust you. I do.

Well, then, why didn't you--

Why am I not valued enough
to keep me?

Is it because you think
Jon's smarter and, like...?

Well, he-- I think
what he has and what he's done

for a living definitely
is going to be an asset.

You know tensions are high
right now, and...

it's really not
anything personal.

And, as a friend, personally,

I wouldn't put someone
in a position

where they had to choose
between our friendship

and what's best for, you know,
their game, so to speak.

I never questioned
if you valued me.

I thought that you did.
- I do value you.

It didn't seem that way tonight.

[ Clock chimes ]

I should go upstairs and sleep.

I didn't want to hurt
your feelings.

[ Scoffs ] Okay.

Muchas gracias, señor.

You're the best.
[ Clock chimes ]

♪ By the grace ♪

♪ Of darkness ♪

Going to bed tonight after
that human-sacrifice ceremony,

I feel like this is possibly
my last night in the castle.

I'm 100% sure that
I'm going to be m*rder*d,

and I think that I'm probably
the most expendable

to at least my friends
in this game.

♪ Set my spirit free ♪

Tonight is going

I can't k*ll Peter,

and my name
is on the chopping block.

So I'm feeling very backed
into a corner right now.



- Ooh.
- Girl, what a twist.

What a twist.
I was worried about you.

- Yeah.
- I was so worried about you.

But you got to stop acting
like an ice princess.

You got to stop doing that.

- Like an ice princess?
- Yes.

Okay.
Do I need to be nicer or what?

Yeah. You give off
"Mean Girls," a little bit,

'cause you're just like...

You're either Iron Maiden
or an ice princess.

Every time I walk into
a room, people stop talking.

I don't know,
but you're going to have to

just be more lovable.
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- I will.

Soften your heart. Yeah.

The atmosphere
in the turret has intensified.

I think Phaedra would
throw me under the bus

if it keeps Phaedra safe.

So I might need
to keep an eye on her.

I really wanted
to k*ll Peter tonight.

I'm so annoyed
that we can't do it.

Peter is such
a strong influence.

He's a g*ng leader.
- Yeah.

He acts like
he's in the Mafia. Like--

Well, he has a lot of henchmen
following him around,

and they'll do whatever he says.
I want you out of my castle.

So who do we have?
We have Bergie, Trishelle,

M.J., Kate.
- Kate.

What are you thinking?

Well, Kate,
nobody suspects to be a traitor.

She'd be a great person
to recruit

if we get the opportunity again.

And then there's Bergie,
who's Peter's yes-man.

Yes.

Then we have M.J.

M.J. is a sweetheart.

She's not going to ever be
put up for banishment.

We can't use her as a shield.

Oh, God, no. Never that.

Oh, maybe we would want
to m*rder her.

I'm with you.

Why would we want
to m*rder Trishelle?

Because she's in that
little clique, the Peter Pals.

He's got his cronies,
and she's one of them.

Like, you can't trust her.
- Mm.



This is going to be
our first k*ll in a while.

You got the taste for blood.

Well, I hope we made
the right decision tonight.

- Yeah.
- This is a big one.

This is a big one.

I really hope this is
the right decision.

This might put an even
bigger target on my back,

so I really hope
we're doing the right thing.

But there are people
who definitely believe

you're a traitor.
- Hmm.

I hope this really
doesn't add more suspicion.

Yeah.
My anxiety is peaking.

I feel like
I'm on my own right now.

I guess let's get it signed,
sealed, and delivered.

Alright, let's do it.
