02x08 - Knives at Dawn

Post by bunniefuu »

Peter’s definitely dangerous.
He’s a full-on bloodhound.

Previously on "The Traitors"...

Peter refused your attempt
at seduction.

My time is limited.
We got to take Parvati out.

We cannot miss.

Oh, my God.

I am done
with his smug little smile.

And I’m going to take
that Bachelor down.

There was yet another twist
in my tale.

Tonight, there will be
no round table.

The traitors will m*rder
once more.

You now have the power to decide
who will be spared from m*rder.

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

We're playing the game.
It’s not about friends.

It just sucks,

because obviously I think
we’re closer than we are.

With seven players protected,

what will be
the traitors' next move?

- This is a big one.
- This is a big one.

Clearly I need
to change my strategy.

I’ve got my guard up now.
I have to defend myself,

and I have to find someone else
to put the target on.



At last night’s sacrifice,

seven were protected from m*rder
by their fellow players

while five were offered up
to the traitors.

But who did Parvati and Phaedra
choose to m*rder?

Was it Bergie,
Kate, M.J., or Trishelle?



Oh, I’ve not been first ever.
Oh, my gosh.

I knew I was safe this morning.

It’s nice, but at the same time,
I’m a little nervous.

Trishelle was upset by me
not lighting her torch.

So if she were to get m*rder*d,
it will be my fault.

How’d you sleep?

Oh, sh*t. [Bleep] Sorry.

That’s okay.
It’s okay, it’s okay.

Slept fine. I’m not nervous.
Why, are you nervous?

We’re all a little nervous.
But being able to sleep

knowing that we’re coming
to breakfast felt good.

If you had a g*n
to your head right now,

who do you think
out of the five got m*rder*d?

Out of the five, I would say
it’s either

Bergie or Trishelle.

[ Knock on door ]

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

This morning, I’m feeling fine.
I feel rested.

But we’re obviously
in the last stretch of the game.

I mean, you can trust no one.

Some of these people,
they are bloodhounds.

I tell you what though,
we got to get a traitor now,

especially when
we’re running out of time.

Parvati, obviously,

I mean, she’s already been
on everyone’s radar anyway.

Exactly, exactly.

Me and Parvati have history.

It’s not great history.

If I get the vibe
that she’s a traitor,

then I’m going to grab
all the faithfuls

and I’m going
to take Parvati out.

I did think about Peter.

He can be annoying at times.
- Because he’s so decisive.

You know,
if you’re Sherlock Holmes,

be a nice Sherlock.

Don’t be a Sherlock the d*ck.

[ Laughs ]

[ Knock on door ]

- John.
- John.

- Good morning, friends.
- Good morning.

Our favorite politician.

And how are we?

We are alive and well.
Who do you think got m*rder*d?

I fear Trishelle.

I think she’s bright.

I think she’s savvy.

She was very, very,
very frightened last night.

[ Knock on door ]

Oh, that sounds like
a whole bunch of people.

- Hey.
- Good morning.

Well done.

Yesterday I kind of saw
the writing on the wall,

and thank God John saved me.

Now it’s bittersweet
because I know I’m safe,

but two people that I have
complete trust in

are not safe-- Bergie
and Trishelle.

I think Bergie.

I think the traitors
already went for him already.

Why not take him out now?
We’re getting late in the game.

Kate hasn’t had
a lot of time with us.

And then M.J.
- She’s a sweetie pie.

The person I really want to see
walk through that door

is Parvati.

Because if Parvati was m*rder*d,

I have no idea
who a traitor is right now.

[ Knock on door ]

- What’s up, guys?
- Hey.

- Hey.
- All right, Kate.

[ Cheering ]

M.J. Whoo-whee.

I thought for sure that
I would be the one m*rder*d.

But maybe even the traitors
want to keep me.

Because I think people trust me
in this castle.

They shouldn’t trust me.

I would throw any of them
in the moat in a second for $10.

So who do you think?

Trishelle or Bergie.

Oh, my God.

There’s no way Parvati
is not coming to breakfast.

Parvati’s name has been in
people’s mouths since day one.

I want to protect her, but
it’s becoming very difficult.

[ Knock on door ]

- Here we go.
- Come on, Bergie.



- Hello.
- Hey.

- Oh!
- Wow!

Oh! Thank God. Thank God.

I'm here.

- Good to see you.
- C.T.

It is Bergie.

Oh, my God.

- What in the hell?
- No way!

Damn.

Poor Bergie.

I really wanted
to k*ll Peter tonight.

I’m so annoyed
that we can’t do it.

Bergie’s the next best thing,
in my opinion.

Take out
some of Peter’s support.

Get it signed, sealed,
and delivered.

Bye, Bergie.

Seal it with a kiss.



"Dear Bergie,
by order of the traitors,

you have been m*rder*d.

Signed, the traitors."

I think I played the best game
I could ever play.

Coming in, I was really nervous.
I’ve learned more about myself.

I’m able to handle
confrontation better.

I got to show I’m someone
that can’t be manipulated.

I think the traitors knew that,

and I would have taken down
everyone else with me.

Let us raise a cup
to our departed friend.

This is a sad and solemn moment,

and we must pay our respects.

That was good.

Well...

it’s not going to help us,
losing him.

We lose voting power.
We could lose mission.

We’re going to be
so behind now.

Holy moly.

Vengeance is
definitely coursing

through my veins right now.

I’ve been close with him
since the very beginning.

We were in it together.

I want cream cheese
and preserves.

A lot of these guys are
looking for just the safest bet,

which would be Parvati, I guess,

because so many people are
convinced that she’s a traitor.

However, I have always felt
like Phaedra is a traitor

and no one’s even suspecting it.

Phaedra really doesn’t talk
a lot of game,

doesn’t throw out
people’s names,

and I’m a poker player.

She has like a little twitch
in one of her eyes.

That’s kind of a tell
a poker table.

I just need to convince
the other guys.



Well, good morning, my ever
decreasing circle of friends.

Last night, M.J., Kate,
Trishelle, and Parvati

were hung out to dry,

but it was Bergie who suffered
the final devastating blow,

brutally dispatched
by the traitors.

Ohh.

Players, despite
the loss of Bergie,

we must let bygones be bygones.

Bye. Gone.

- [ Laughs ]
- Oh, my God!

- Lord.
- Savage.

Soon, players, you must
turn your attention

to today’s mission.

You’ll be taking
a little trip to my--

Well, let’s call it
a holiday home.

I have a guest
who’s currently staying there

who will help you settle in.

And after all, who doesn’t enjoy
a little country escape?

- Oh, God.
- Escape, escape.

I think it’s the cabin.

Oh, no.

Head down there
and I’ll meet you afterwards.

A la prochaine.

- A la prochaine fois.
- Mm-hmm.



Where can we go to?
Maybe the armory or something.

The traitors are targeting
our little group.

And this is a new game,
new mind-set.

I think that both Parvati
and Phaedra could be traitors.

However, numbers wise,

Phaedra has way more people
that would never vote for her.

So it makes more sense
to get Phaedra out now.

- Why?
- I have like a million reasons.

She’s super smart,
she’s super savvy.

She’s never worried.

The biggest reason that I think
that Phaedra is a traitor

is that Dan called out
Phaedra during round table,

and I think that he knew that
we needed to be fed a traitor,

and he would look like
the hero of the group.

We can get rid of Parvati

and then just suck up
to Phaedra.

Okay.

- It’s just me.
- Oh, hey.

Um, so, okay.
Where’s your head at?

Who do you think?
- Seems unanimous. Parvati.

I think that Phaedra's
the traitor.

Dan was trying to save himself
by putting

the other traitor out.
He turned on her.

Also, she has, like,
a twitch in her eye

whenever you’re talking
about stuff.

- Yes.
- Yep.

We need to get her out
before Parvati

because Parvati
is a wounded bird.

She’s by herself.

Tonight, if Parvati gets
to stay and she’s not banished,

she has no reason
not to get rid of one of us.

Get on Parvati's side.
Convince her that they all think

it’s her and that
we don’t think it’s her.

Tell her we think it’s Phaedra.

But we also know it’s her.
So it’s like--

Well, who cares?
We got to think ahead.

I am thinking ahead.

I’m trying to get us all
through one more night.

No, I’m thinking
three steps ahead.

Like, why would Parvati
be so willing to work with us?

Because she’s going to
do anything to save her ass.

I think you’re onto something.

- Talk to Parvati after this.
- Yeah. I’ll try it.

She’s gonna vote
to save herself.

One thing I’ve learned
in this game

is that you have to be flexible
and have to adapt.

Trishelle made some valid points
of why she wants to take out

Phaedra first,

and I’m willing
to go along with it.

I’m more concerned with
later down the road.

If I get m*rder*d, [bleep] it.

I’m so excited that people
are finally listening to me.

My game plan is dialed in.

Tonight, Phaedra,
you’re going to leave.

Risk versus reward
is all I’m saying.

And I've played the sh*t before.
It’s strictly a numbers game.



Can I talk to you one on one
for one second?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Let’s go this way.

I don’t know how in the world
I’m going to do this.

I have got to go
become Parvati’s best friend

and actually
have her believe me.

And I think I’m probably
her biggest enemy at this point.

♪ Oh, my God ♪

I have my work cut out for me.

But that’s the way we got to go

and hopefully try to convince
Parvati to turn on Phaedra.

Do you want to know
when I felt like

our relationship deteriorated?

When you told me
to keep your secret.

I didn’t know
if I could trust you,

so I trusted the wrong person.

From day one, I felt so targeted
from Larsa.

And Dan comes up to me and
he’s like, "I’ll keep you safe.

You’ll be my number one.
Like, I’ll protect you.

I’ll look out for you."

Like, that’s kind of
how I operate in these games.

It’s like create an alliance
and then just, like,

be tight with that person
and trust them.

I really hope
you’re not messing with me.

I’m not.

I do not trust Peter at all.

But I do believe
if I can convince Peter

that I’m a faithful,
then that will be amazing

because people believe
what he says.

I will work with public enemy
number one

if it takes some
of the suspicion off of me.

Fine.

Did not see this coming.

This game’s ever-evolving.

Peter and Parvati having
a conversation right now,

it just doesn’t add up.

This is Parvati begging Peter
for her life.

To stop saying
that she’s a traitor.

- Yeah. She’s making the rounds.
- Yeah.

I will say
she’s very persuasive.

And she’s also a yoga teacher.

I took a Bikram yoga class once,
the ones that are hot--

it was awful, hideous.

And that yoga teacher voice.

They are convincing you
to stay in hell.

[ Laughs ]

After Parvati, do you have
anybody on your list?

And you don’t want to just
boldly accuse somebody.

But Peter acts so crazy

and so, like...

You don’t want to think so,
but then...



Uh, I think, uh,
I may have been wrong.

But I didn’t know.
I felt like there was no chance

that you would ever
even talk to me again,

because you made up your mind
after that.

I just become like
a complete porcupine.

I’ve been trying to sh**t you
with my porcupine quills.

Oh, believe me,
I’ve been feeling it.

I’ve been coming
right back at you, too.

Right back at you.
- [ Laughs ]

- Truce?
- Truce.

Okay. [ Speaks indistinctly ]

I mean, I would do
whatever at this point.

Okay.
Give me a hug.

Ohh. [ Laughs ]

- Oh, man, this is wild.
- Yeah.

I adore Phaedra.
I don’t want to turn on her,

but I just want
to stay in the game.

And if we get Phaedra,

I think it’ll take a little bit
more of the heat off of me.



I’m expecting this mission
is going to be awful

because they all are.

And I don’t love
that it’s raining.

Parvati, I know that, like,

your name was thrown around
a lot for banishment.

I’m not convinced
that you’re a traitor.

And neither is Peter.
- Thank you. Because I’m not.

I have way more reasons
for Phaedra

to be a traitor than you.

I talked to Kevin.
I talked to Peter.

Whenever I’m with Phaedra
in the mornings,

she is never nervous.

I was going through
my notes last night.

I have a shitload on her,
but I am nervous

because if we don’t get
her out this banishment,

she’s going to go to the end,
take all the faithfuls' money.

Trishelle is pushing
Phaedra’s name really,

really hard,
but I’m suspicious of Parvati

and I think she is
a thr*at in this game.

I’m here to get to the end
no matter what.

Holy sh*t.

Oh, no.
That’s a creepy cabin.



- Oh, no, you guys.
- Is this the house?

- Yes.
- No way, man.

You guys, I’m not going in.

I’m not going in.
I’m not going in.

Have no idea who this guest
is that Alan is talking about,

but I can only imagine
knowing Alan,

it’s going to be insane.

Oh, look at the dog.

- What dog?
- It’s a wolf.

It is alive!

Look, is that the guest?
Oh, my God.

Is that Dr. Will?

Apparently,
he’s the most devious

"Big Brother" game player ever
in the history of the game.

Oh, my God.

Why is he giving us that look?

- Oh, God.
- Oh, my God.

So I know we must be in
for something really nasty.

Hello, players.

My name is Dr. Will.

I know you, Dr. Will.

I’ve been renting this place

for the last couple weeks
from Alan.

Isn’t it great?
- No.

You should see
what he’s done with the place.

- Oh, boy.
- Oh, boy.

He’s made it really unique.

- Unique?
- Oh, Kate.

- What?
- This is bugs.

- The bugs.
- He said unique.

So step on in
and make yourself at home.

All right, let’s do it.

Yeah, you go first.

- Hey, buddy.
- [ Growls ]

Oh, sh*t.

I’m having mixed emotions
about this cabin in the woods.

I do think there’s going to be
some kind of creepy twist here,

which is making me nervous.
Don’t t*rture us, okay?

Oh, it's not bad here.
It’s cute. I like it.

[ Screams ]

- Ah.
- I’m already on edge.

This is not good.

You know what the most fun
thing is about this place?

- What?
- Trying to find your way out.

[Bleep]

[ Screams ]



[ Screams ]

Make yourself at home.

No, no, no, no, no.

- [Bleep]
- It’s an escape room.

It’s an escape room.

Alan said there’s up to
$20,000 worth of gold available.

- Oh, boy.
- You have 30 minutes

to work as a team,

and for every person
who doesn’t escape,

your earnings will be reduced
by $1,000.

Oh, boy.

If anyone wants to quit, you
just say the safe word "haggis."

I’m not good at escape rooms.

Okay, we can do this,
you guys. We can do this.

Alan will see you
once you’re out.

Three, two, one, go!

Okay, guys.

Who wants to check inside
of this duffel bag?

Not me. [ Screams ]

Look, here’s a padlock.

There’s a padlock.
So we need to find keys.

There should be instructions somewhere.

Open the book.
- Nothing in there.

"Bug Cabins for Dummies"?
That’s weird.

You better hurry up.

- Hey, what’s under this?
- Oh my God. What?

"You must all escape
through the tunnels.

Use the map to locate
exit and gold."

Okay.

Did anybody find the key?

There’s a key, you guys.

- There’s the key. Open that up.
- Who has it?

- There’s two locks.
- There’s two, there’s two.

The tunnel is in here.

They have no idea
what’s going to hit them.

Oh, so this is how
the gold in the shield--

- The well's the exit.
- Well's where you get out?

- See, it says right here.
- Holy.

"Use radios to communicate
to people in the tunnels."

Here’s the radios.

I’m very good at radios.

Okay, so you want to stay
in here and do the guiding?

Yeah. So we got to have
some people stay in here

and some people guided.

Oh, sh*t.
The tunnel is down there.

Hey, are the lights turning on?

Look in the tunnel.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, sh*t! I let go of them.

Turn it off here
so they can see

and then turn them off
and on and off and on.

When we turn on the lights
in the tunnel,

the lights turn off
inside the house.

I’m worried that that’s when
all the surprises come out.

I’m scared.

C.T., I think you should go
first and I’ll go follow.

We need someone
to hold the light.

Hold the lights.
Thank you, Kate.

The tunnel smells terribly.

I feel something wet
on my knees.

Hang on, I can’t see.

But I have one fear factor,
so I’m just on autopilot.

I’m just going and going.

The players' money pot is not
overflowing, to put it mildly.

They need to do well
down in these tunnels.

Hurry up!
The clock is ticking.

Okay. Let’s go.
I’m right behind you.

Come on.

You guys,
this is really creepy.

Turn it back on.
Turn it back on.

- Lights!
- They need the lights.

Okay. Lights are coming on.

It’s always going
to be back and forth.

So I’m holding down the lights.

And I look up and I see what
could look like a trap door.

Oh, God.
I don’t want to do this job.

- Why not?
- You do this job.

I think you’re gonna be
real good at these lights.

I think you’ll like
this job, Kevin.

- I can’t be the last one to go.
- I'm not doing that job.

- Hold the lights!
- Hold the lights.

That’s one job.

Okay, let’s go,
let’s go, let’s go.

Players, you need to get
that gold out of the well.

- So I have to go in here.
- Yeah, yeah.

Let me know what you got.

Wait. Okay, I see the gold.

It’s like right here.

Oh, I see how to do it.
- You got it?

I have to use my fingers
to get the gold over the ramps

so I can actually grab it.

[ Humming ]

I can’t see through my goggles.
It’s fogging up.

You only need them if you’re--
[ Screams ]

Oh, my gosh! What was that?

Something was sprayed.

God, it stinks so bad.

Oh, Lord.

- Hold the light.
- Hold the lights!

I’m seriously getting
pissed off.



[ Screams ]

Oh, my God.

All of a sudden,
there’s just tons of maggots,

worms pouring on my head.

I’m covered in bugs.
It’s just like a nightmare.



[ Screams ]

I’m panicking.

There’s a bunch of bugs
just fell all over me.

It’s disgusting.

[ Screams ]

I hear carnage from this well.
It’s not pretty.

Oh, God.
I have bugs everywhere.

The gold’s right here,
but I need light.

You gotta keep the lights on.
We’re getting the gold.

We have to share the light, okay?

Guys, they need the lights
up there too

to see what they’re doing.
- They’re not doing anything.

I don’t know if people
are scared of the dark

or what’s going on here,

but they are completely
messing up my game.

Hold the lights.

Can we put the lights on, please?

Okay. Lights are coming on.
Lights are coming on.

Don’t shut the light off.
I got gold.

- She got gold.
- I got gold. Hang on.

Trishelle's having
a sterling time down the tunnel.

That’s $5,000.

There’s a gold bar here,
but I can’t get it.

Hey, little rats.
I was unscrewing them.



- Oh, my God.
- Turn on the lights.

Oh, it's maggots and sh*t.

- Oh, Jesus!
- No!

Get me out!
Get me out! Get me out!

I can’t be in here!

I can’t do maggots, bugs, roaches.

Haggis, haggis, haggis.

Can’t.

I need to get out.

Lights on now.

Okay. We’re dealing
with a situation here.

As much as I consider myself
a strong, brave,

extraordinary woman,

today is just not my cup of tea.

That is [bleep] up.

[ Screams ]

I’m fit to be haggis
in two seconds.

Okay, give us the light
so we're not freaking out.

- Give us the light.
- [ Screams ]

Haggis! Haggis!

Haggis, haggis.

I gotta come out of here.
Something’s in my ear.

Haggis. I gotta get out of here.
[ Screams ]

There’s something in my ear.

- I don’t see anything.
- You cost your team $1,000.

Okay, C.T.

Oh, my God.

Is there something in there?

It’s a shield.
Do you feel like you need it?

Yes.

As a friend, of course
I’m going to give to her.

I don’t know
if she’s holding resentment

about the torch ceremony.

You know,
tensions are high between us.

- Hey, where’s the shield?
- It’s in here.

I think it’ll be worth it.
I don’t want her to go home.

And she’s really good
to have on my side.

I see it.

Okay, I got it. Yes.

C.T. definitely gained a lot
of trust with me again today.

- You got it, girl?
- Yeah, I got it.

Thank you.
C.T., thank you.

I mean, no matter
all the fights we’ve had,

I do feel like C.T.
and I are family.

And he will protect me
in this game.

Trishelle, keep it secret.
Don’t tell anybody.

John, do not tell anyone
who has the shield.

Players, you have less
than five minutes left.

Is anybody out yet?

[ Screams ]

It’s okay, it’s okay, Shereé.

[ Screams ]
It got in my face.

This mission right here
is disgusting.

[ Screams ]

Bugs, maggots, roaches.
It’s t*rture.

[ Screams ]

What?

- Hold the lights!
- God, I’m going to k*ll them.

Tell them they have to keep
their hands on the lights.

Turn the light on.

[ Laughs ]

It’s missions like this
that make me say "c'est la vie."

Guys, you know what? I think--
I think I'm at haggis.

Like, [bleep] this.
$1,000?

Also, by the way, I don’t really
want to be good at this.

I’m out. I’m over this sh*t.
- Haggis.

We've been in here for more
than half the time.

We only have like
five minutes left.

We’re not going
to make it through.

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,
I cannot,

I cannot, I cannot, I cannot.

Hey, you have one on your--
on you.

Oh, sh*t, baby,
you got bugs on you.

I’m gonna help you.
- There’s bugs on us?

No bugs on you. Just urine.

- Oh, God.
- Yes!

- Get it!
- Just calm down.

- Take the sh*t off!
- I got you.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Guys, I’m the only one left,

and I’m doing lights and trying
to communicate with you.

I don’t know
if I can do this by myself.

I can’t believe they leave me
with all the responsibility.

Plus, I’d have to go
in the tunnel

to escape in the pitch dark.

Somebody's got to come back
and help me.

Okay, I’m gonna come back
right now

so you can all get out.
I’m coming.

Players,
you have three minutes left.

All right, players?

[ Screams ] [Bleep]

I don’t see anything in this--
in the fruit area.

Oh, I got it. I got it.

Take it, take it, take it.

I’m gonna give you
the gold piece, John.

Here, John,
take mine now too.

- Shall I go?
- Yeah. Go, go, go, go.

- John, first to emerge.
- Oh, dear.

Two pieces of gold

and a lot of stinky bugs
down your back.

That doesn’t matter a damn.

Had much worse
in my previous work.

[ Laughs ] Remember where
you heard it first.

- All right.
- Oh!

sh*t’s dropping on me.
I’m the only person here.

- They all quit?
- They all quit.

Everybody quit.
- Follow me.

- Okay. Got it. Cool, let’s go.
- All right.

But do you think
they’re resting on something?

Oh, they’re crawling
all over my hands!

Are you helping people out,
C.T.?

I think we have
to come with you.

We can’t figure this out.
- Okay.

Come with me.

Right here.
- [ Screams ]

Let’s go!
We gotta get out.

- All right, let’s go.
- I’m getting out.

I’m getting out.

Hello, Trishelle.

Less than two minutes left, players.

There’s still gold
in that tunnel.

Guys, there’s two pieces left.

- It’s over. We’re coming out.
- It’s over, it’s over.

We need that gold.
We need the gold! Go back in.

It’s right to the left.
- All right, all right.

Bravo.

C.T. is returning to the tunnel
for the remaining gold.

- I don’t feel anything.
- How many minutes do we have?

- 10 seconds remaining.
- Oh, my God.

You guys, we have to get out.



- You get it?
- I can't find it.

- Time’s up players.
- You did good, C.T.

I think I got a snake
in my pants.

- What?
- Are you okay?

- [ Screams ]
- [ Screams ]

[ Laughter ]
- Yeah! C.T.!

I pretended
I had a snake in my pants.

Well, there was,
but it was also a gold brick.

Players, please go meet Alan
at the other end.

Okay, go, go,
go around that bug.

I’m so proud of you.
You did awesome.

You. You did.

Come in,
cabin crew who vacated.

What’s up, ladies?

You look fresh and clean.

Okay, players.

I can tell you that you
brought out $15,000

worth of gold
out of those tunnels.

Bravo, bravo.

However, because you four ladies
vacated my cabin,

you lost $4,000,
leaving $11,000.

Sorry. I tried.

I can also confirm

a shield was won
in this mission.

Would the person who won
this shield care

to share who they are
with the other players?

No. A deafening silence. Okay.

You faced mud, bugs,
and rodents.

Please give yourselves
a brush down

before you come
to the round table.

The only snakes and rats
in there should be you lot.

Toodles.

I’ve got a lot
of cleaning up to do.



How did you feel getting
dumped by four girls

at the same time today?
- [ Laughs ]

Man, in my high school days,
that was normal for me.

[ Laughter ]

We have the votes.

If I were you,
I would not be worried.

The jury is still out
with me and Peter.

I don’t trust him.

Now I want to know
where John’s head is at.

Because John is seen as the most
faithful of all the faithful.

Can we chat?
- Of course we can.

- I would love that.
- Of course we can.

If I can put on a k*ller performance

and convince John
I’m a faithful,

that might just be enough
to get the suspicion off me

and then for them
to want to vote Phaedra.

Oh, man.

Okay, so I’ve been
wanting to talk with you

because I’m realizing
that, like, I think, like,

what I’ve recognized is when
I feel like I’m under att*ck,

I just, like, become very icy
and I wall off.

But I have just felt like

because I trusted
the wrong person,

Dan, this target
has just stuck to me

when I feel like
I’m under thr*at.

I think it’s just like
a continuation

of how I’ve been living

and the things that I’ve been
through for the past two years.

Like, the only way
I’ve gotten through

that was, like, completely
masking my emotions.

And I’m just, like,
doing the same thing here.

So I don’t think
it’s doing me any favors.

This is the first time that I
have observed you so emotional.

For what it’s worth,

of all the people that I’ve met
in this game,

nobody reveals
and displays greater guts

and character than you do.

And what you have
to demonstrate

is that you are
a faithful player

and that you wouldn’t
chop off my head.

I would never.

I just put a little cr*ck
in his mind around me

where he can think "Maybe
she’s not a traitor after all."

If I can get away with this,

maybe I have a new career
in acting.



Oh! Pork belly. Yummy.

Mmm.

[ Speaks indistinctly ]
That was pretty good.

Yummy. Mm-hmm.

Where is everybody?

So what about
tonight’s business?

Since I’ve been here, Parvati
was mentioned every time.

So I’m just going
to finish that one.

I have someone else
that I think it could be.

From day one,
I have noticed some things,

written them all down, and
taken, like, pretty good notes.

Um, for Phaedra,
I have a ton of stuff.

I know you’re close to her.

I think all options
should be explored.

Everybody’s going to vote
how they want to vote.

I’m just going
to give my points.

And if you think that
they’re believable, cool.

Just know that I’m voting
for Phaedra. I am.

I’m not afraid of being m*rder*d
tonight because I have a shield.

But John, Peter,
Kevin are at risk.

And I’m less convinced
that Parvati

is a traitor than I am Phaedra.

I’m looking for a traitor.

So whatever I think
is the most compelling.

Where are the people?

This is somebody that
you have spent

the whole game being like,

"Oh, I definitely know
this person’s a faithful."

I have a whole list of things.

And maybe you’ll change
your mind at round table

when you hear them.
- Okay.

I’m just so confused
because this entire time,

all I’ve been hearing is

Parvati, Parvati,
Parvati, Parvati.

And now, at the final hour,

Trishelle is
throwing out Phaedra.

Why are you throwing a wrench
in the Parvati plan?

Parvati is by herself.

But Phaedra will be hard
in the end.

And that’s why you want
her name to come up today

instead of tomorrow?

Yes.

Does she know
that you're gonna--

No, because
she’s such a good arguer.

She’s the smartest person here.

Whatever.
Maybe I take terrible notes.

And if it’s not her, I will burn
my [bleep] notebook, okay?

- Who?
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hey. Come in.



You good?

Well, I have
to use the ladies room.

Have a great night, y’all.

Oh, today feels weird.

All right, guys.

I don’t feel that my name’s
going to come up at all,

but who knows?

This game creates
a sense of paranoia.

No one’s really safe.

However, the obvious is Parvati.

♪ Follow me down

Coming into this round table,
I know it’s going to be

a very hard one for Parvati,
but she’s played a good game

and she’s lasted way longer
than anyone thought she would.

It’s either going
to be me or Phaedra.

There’s no other names
on the block.

I wish there was a way
that we could save both of us,

but it seems like
it’s going to be her tonight.

I have, like, the most evidence

you can actually have
in this game,

but I’m feeling
a little bit nervous.

Phaedra has three ride-or-dies
that I could show them on paper

that Phaedra is a traitor,
and they will not vote for her.

Good evening, everyone.

Here we go again.

Round and round the round table
the ragged rascal ran.

But how much longer
can the traitors keep running?

In today’s mission,
you won $11,000.

Your prize pot now stands
at an impressive $114,500.

That is not to be sniffed at.

Players, look around you.

Who looks like
the innocent flower

but is the serpent under it?

Whose time has run out?



The floor is yours.



My God.

Okay, well, I think
I need to start today.



I know my name
has been out there.

People have been saying
that I’ve been

acting weird and quiet.

And you’re right.

How I survive in situations when
I feel like I’m under att*ck

is I just become a brick wall.

I’ve made some poor decisions
in who I decided to trust.

I made friends with Dan,
which was a big problem

because he was a traitor.

I didn’t know he was a traitor.

Now I’m in a really
big predicament

and have clammed up
like a shell.



So going over my notes
last night

and I was, like, looking back,
and I was like,

"When did we start, like,
talking about Parvati," right?

And I didn’t
have much on Parvati.

I had, like, acting suspect,
super quiet,

which those are not
really compelling arguments

that someone’s a traitor.

But for you, Phaedra,
I had so much.

I’m going to start
with the least compelling,

and I’ll end with the most.

The first one was that
whenever we go into breakfast,

you don’t seem surprised
about who’s m*rder*d.

And then you also--

What would make you think

I don’t seem surprised
about who’s m*rder*d?

Your non-reaction, basically.

You’re never, ever worried, bothered.

You’re not scared
about being m*rder*d at all.

I'm not sure what that means.

I’ve been nervous
numerous times.

I don’t know what you want me
to do to be nervous.

I’m not frantic like you.

I said I’d start
with the lowest.

Then go with the next.
What’s your other?

The most compelling
argument for me,

and, like, I do not see
a way around this,

Dan is a smart game player.

I knew that Dan
was going to go to round table

and say someone’s name
that was a traitor,

because if he put
a traitor up there,

it would pretty much absolve him
from being a traitor.

And I think that
he turned on you,

and I think that
you’re a traitor.

Phaedra,
what possible incentive

does Dan have at the point
at which he knows he’s going

to be banished permanently
from the castle to lie?

I would think that he would
protect the traitors

and wouldn’t obviously give
someone that was a traitor.

Remember last year,
we voted out two traitors.

I wish it had been that easy,

that we would have just banished
and found the traitor

of whoever the most recent
banished traitor had voted for.

That would have made
the game very easy.

Phaedra,
I do have observations as well.

Um, when I talk to you about
any suspicions of people,

your eye starts to freak out
a little bit.

I’ve never heard
anybody say that.

Actually, I noticed it, too.
I did.

Oh, Lord.

Just curious, do you-- have
you grown up with twitches?

Um, I’m just curious.

No one has ever said that.

I’ve never heard that
a day in my life.

Never.
- It’s just an observation.

John, what are you thinking?

I do have a thought.

I feel-- it’s just intuition--

Parvati could well be

a duchess of deception
and a mistress of m*rder.



I have heard what you have said
in relation to Dan,

but there is no doubt
that you were his accomplice

and he yours and possibly
his partner in crime.

I have detected that you have
been worried about banishment,

but you have been, if you like,

serene about
the thr*at of m*rder.

At the sacrifice ritual,
people were given

the opportunity to plead
for their lives.

You didn’t.
You chose to say nothing.

Because you knew that you were
not going to be m*rder*d.

I have been dead scared
until very recently,

when there’s been
so much suspicion on me

because I felt like
the more suspicion on me,

the more the traitors are going
to keep me around,

because they wouldn’t
m*rder someone

who is probably going to be
the next to be banished,

because that would be smart
of the traitors to do that.

So I have been more scared
of being banished

because there’s been
a lot of suspicion on me.

I have--
I have one observation here.

Phaedra, I do believe
that I haven’t seen

true, faithful qualities
from you in regards to

the fear that naturally comes
with being a faithful

and as a traitor,
you’re just not privy to, so--

'Cause you’re the faithful
king, right?

I didn’t say that.

I think Dan did
tell us something,

whether he intended to do it
or not.

Um, it just-- I can’t
lose that from my mind.

I just think that
so many people

have gone home for a lot less.

Y’all were very passionate

about voting out Parvati yesterday.

Yeah, until I read
my notes again.

But so did those reasons
evaporate?

I had a conversation
with Parvati

that completely shifted my view,
and I’m not saying it’s 100%,

but the pendulum
started coming back down.

Because there’s
a backdoor deal going down.

The other day when I was in the
armory with Peter and Parvati,

Peter made
the interesting comment.

"Parvati, I can work with you.
We can work together."

And I said, "Let me
dismiss myself from this

because I don’t want to be
a part of this conversation."

We could work together.

Do you want to work together
and get somebody out?

I-- Mnh-mnh.

I’ll be honest, and I know
this sounds crazy.

Please do.

I was 100% on her.

When that conversation
happened in the armory,

I was kind of being
a little cocky and I was like,

"Oh, like, I got her.
I got her like dead in sights."

And I was like, "Oh,
you want to, you know,

you want to work together,"
kind of thing.

And I said, "Peter, why would
you want to work with me

if you think I’m a traitor?"

And then I said
I’m just joking.

But now, after you had
the conversation,

that was a joke,
do you want to work together,

suddenly you’ve changed
your mind about Parvati,

who you were
so passionate about.

Why are you defending Phaedra
so much?

Because I think it’s weird
that you’ve been so Parvati

all this time, so Parvati,
and then right after--

But I’m still
not off of Parvati.

I’m not done speaking.

I’m defending Phaedra because
I think it’s weird

that you were so Parvati
all the time.

And then you actually
say to her,

"Do you want to work together?"
You switched it to Phaedra.

And really, the whole thing
that your whole big case

is relying on
is the fact that Dan,

being this great,
brilliant game player,

he must have been giving you
a clue on the way out.

No, he just sucked
at playing this game.

That’s why he’s not here.

I don’t know what to think.
I really don’t.

The time for talk is now over.

Players,

it’s time to vote.



[ Sighs ]

I’m a little nervous because
this is an important vote.

The outcome of this vote
could very well determine

the outcome of this entire game.

I totally believe
Parvati's the traitor.

I’m glad that she finally
got the heat at the round table.

Me and Phaedra have been
getting along very well.

You know, she picked me at
that torch ceremony.

However, I’m looking
for traitors, not love.

And I do think that
what Trishelle and Peter

were talking about
does raise some good questions.

And honestly,
she would be a good one.

Honestly.

M.J., who do you think
is a traitor and why?

Parvati.

I think that it’s been
in your direction for so long.

Phaedra.

Um, my vote tonight
is for Parvati

due to the Dan scenario.

I think she’s played
a courageous game.

I think she was a great traitor.

But it's time to leave
the game.

Sandra.



Parvati, I voted for you.

After going back and forth
between you and Phaedra,

John had valid points,

and that’s why I think
you’re a traitor.

Peter.

Uh, Phaedra, I’m sorry.
My vote’s for you.

John.

Parvati,
with a very heavy heart,

my vote is for you.

Parvati.

Phaedra.

Heard Trishelle’s points and
I thought that they made sense.

It feels bad,
but it’s either me or her,

so I have to take my sh*t.

Kevin.

[ Sighs ]

Twitchy eyes.

Phaedra, I voted for you today.

Trishelle.

Miss Phaedra.

I do love you.

Shereé.

Parvati, I voted for you.

I just feel like we need
to be consistent.

So it’s five votes
for Parvati,

four votes for Phaedra.

If Parvati receives
one more vote,

she will be banished.

C.T.





If Parvati receives one
more vote, she will be banished.

C.T.



My vote's for Parvati.

I can’t banish somebody
who’s lit my torch

based on the word
of a known liar.

It just doesn’t sit well
in my heart.



And finally, Kate.

Parvati, I voted for you.

Parvati, you have received
the most votes

and are banished from the game.

Come forward
to the circle of truth.

♪ It's my faith now ♪

Parvati, before you leave
my castle forever,

please reveal to us

are you a faithful

or a traitor?

two years of my life

and emotional authenticity

and really aligning myself
with truth and integrity.

And coming out here, I wanted
to play a faithful game.

But...

I am not...

...a faithful.
I’m a traitor.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, my God.
My heart just sunk.

Thank you, Parvati.

♪ The Kn*fe in your back ♪

That was a good speech.

All right. Burning my notebook.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

- I’m trying not to, but...
- Stay strong.

Parvati, my nemesis.

All our history and fights
aside, it’s sad to see her gone.

But now I’m going to be
the queen of this castle.

And I’m ready to win
"The Traitors."

It seems you have
finally gotten

the hang of this traitors
banishment thing.

Parvati has been banished,

meaning the traitors
are one murderous member down.

However, if I were a faithful,

I’d be very worried
about the approaching slumber.

I'd double lock your bedroom
doors if I were you.



- All right. Wine.
- Oh, man.

I’m running.
I want the wine.

I might be drinking tonight.

Oh, boy, that was a lot.

My nerves are just horrible.

Because with Parvati banished,
I’m going to be in it alone.

Cheers. Good job.

This is very scary to me,
but I’m just so happy

that I’ve got people
who are in my corner

because it keeps me
in a place of power.

Let’s go. Let’s go.

Let me just tell you why
I don’t feel good about today.

All of a sudden, Peter,
not having any suspicion

at all of Parvati,
which threw me off a little bit,

but I don’t know
if that’s how they really felt.

And for some reason now,
I don’t know if I believe Peter.

Because I don’t...

[ Sighs ]

There’s just something
that’s sitting with me, right?

Right.

I have no idea why the plan all
of a sudden turned into

Parvati is absolutely not
a traitor, Phaedra really is.

I’m just trying to make sense
of all of this.

And to be real, like,
I can’t trust Peter right now.

If I do get to talk to Peter,

I’m just going to tell him,
like, "Cowboy,

just pace yourself, you know?"

Can we talk now?
I have a lot to tell you,

if you don’t mind.
- Okay. Let’s go.

Okay.

Peter’s [bleep]

He has more traitor behavior
than anybody.

That’s what I know.
That's what I told him.

All the sh*t he’s been
doing is traitor.

His behavior is very odd.

If you’re not a traitor,

how could you be working
with a traitor?

All right, Kate,
are you ready for this?

Yeah. Lay it on me.

Unfortunately, we lost
the numbers to get Phaedra out,

but I’m not changing the way
I’m playing this game.

All gas, no brakes till the end.

I was trying to play
with Parvati a little bit.

Yeah, I know.

You just lied to a table
full of faithfuls

about somebody
being not a traitor

when you definitely knew
they were a traitor.

We’re not faithful
to a traitor.

She was gone tomorrow night.
Do you believe anything

that I was saying?
- I still don't.

I was gassing her up
the entire day.

As far as I’m concerned,

Peter is a traitor to the
faithfuls because he lied.

And I just don’t like
playing the game with him.

He’s just so annoying.

Listen, I’m not saying
Phaedra's not a traitor.

I’m saying I knew
you were doing shady sh*t.

If we don’t see you
at breakfast.

I don’t want to admit it,
but this whole plan,

you can see it start
to crumble a little bit.

It’s going to be tough
to get a good night’s rest.

I just hope I’m here
in the morning.

The clock chimes signal
our faithful players

to their chambers.

But under the cover of darkness,
our last remaining traitor

is taking the well-trodden path
to the turret.

But in this place,
thou shalt not suffer a traitor

to live alone.

♪ I’ll be the shadow ♪

♪ You’ll be the flame ♪

I’m the last one standing
from day one.

I’m not shocked that I’m here.
I belong in a castle, honey.

I’m definitely a queen.
The others fell by the wayside

because they were
a little suspicious.

I deserve Miss Congeniality
for Traitors award, hands down.



Now I’m wondering
who’s going to be m*rder*d?

Because someone has to die.

And I’ve got to make
this decision alone.



- Hello, Phaedra.
- Hello.

And then there was one.

All by myself.

Well, Phaedra,
as per the rules,

tonight you’ll be afforded
the opportunity

to recruit a faithful
to join you.

I would like that.

You will meet face
to face tonight.

Yes.

In the castle dungeon.

You must select one faithful
and offer them an ultimatum.

You will ask them
a very simple question.

Join you or die.

They must either take the cloak
and turn to the dark side,

or they will be m*rder*d.

Who would you like to issue
this ultimatum to?



- Kate.
- Kate.

Yes. We have a same sort of
kindred spirit.

She’s very direct.

She can do and say
the things that I can’t.

But she also understands

We'll be a murdering duo.
