Post by bunniefuu »

Look at them.

She is going to be underestimated.

He is very clever.

I cannot wait to see her at

the Round Table.

And this one? Well

..knockout.

OWL SCREECHES

I know.

Let the mind games begin.

Come.

19 celebrities have been invited

to play

the ultimate psychological game of

deception

Argh! Oh, no, no!

..all in the hope of winning

up to £100,000

..for their chosen charity

I'm here to win.

I don't know what beasts lie within

me.

Let the games commence.

SCREAMING:Oh, my God!

..but concealed amongst them are

the Traitors

who, under the cover of darkness,

will secretly m*rder

their fellow players.

It's up to the Faithful to work out

who the Traitors are,

and banish them before they become

their next victim.

Maybe I have got a dark side.

I'm going to fight till the death.

They think they know

what they've signed up for

No!

..but they've got no idea.

SCREAMING

This is The Celebrity Traitors.

"You are cordially invited

to join me at the Traitors Castle.

"Yours faithfully."

Well, let the horror unfold.

And may the worst person win.

I'm so glad you're laughing.

Well, what else can you do?

The very word "The Traitors"

causes such excitement.

You've got beautiful eyes,

by the way. Oh, thank you. Mm.

Now, I don't know how to take

that.

Is that a game play immediately?

Well, my game.

In order to win, whoever it is,

we're all going to have

to be quite ruthless.

The deceit has already started.

Of course.

Am I a good liar?

Well, I've spent the last 17 years

lying about being a good rugby

player.

Oh, hello.

Stephen.

How could you possibly be here on

the side of the road?

Get in. Are you going my way?

Celia Imrie!

It's amazing what you can find

in the Highlands of Scotland.

So pleased to see you.

Oh, thank you.

It's wonderful to see you. My God.

What was your name?

Hi, Pamela. I'm Alan.

So nice to meet you.

I've known you for ages.

Yes, forever.

Ruth, I've seen you on TV in scary

things.

Yeah! I've seen you on TV lots.

Also in scary things, but they

weren't meant to be scary.

I'm intolerant to bullshit,

and I love causing a bit of chaos.

So, yeah, it'll be interesting

to see how it goes

for me in the castle.

These are fellow victims,

presumably.

Look at the convoy.

It's like Eurovision Song Contest

or something, isn't it?

It's like Eurovision but you haven't

learned the song. Yes!

I mean, if this was a party,

you'd be really chuffed about

who turned up.

It is a shame

that we're going to start really

going for each other.

How are we all feeling?

I'm nervous.

I can't lie, I'm nervous.

It's the not knowing,

I don't know. It's the not knowing.

Well, that's the whole game,

though, isn't it?

In my work life, I play, you know,

duplicitous, dodgy folk.

But I'm the complete opposite of

the men I play.

I'm very trusting.

My strategy is

to make as many friends as possible.

Just be myself and hopefully

that will stand me

in fairly good stead, you know.

I once stayed in the castle seven

years ago No?!

Did you really? ..in anticipation

for this moment. Stop it!

It's not often

in our very sheltered world

that we are put in a position

where we have no idea

how we're going to react.

No amount

of education can give you wisdom.

Wisdom is another thing,

and wisdom is a really important

quality for this, I think.

I want to meet the peacock.

There's going to be peacocks there?

Yeah. Oh, they do have them!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, wow. For real, they live here.

I thought it was CGI.

CLARE LAUGHS

My strategy in this game

is to capitalise on

the fact that I'm a YouTuber.

I'm from a different world.

So that means that a lot of these

people,

they won't know anything about me.

I hope, anyways.

Have any of you got any tactics

you've been planning?

I'm going under the radar.

No, I am, I am!

I have to say, I was planning on

being a bit of a wallflower myself.

Yeah, I can see from this lovely

outfit.

Will we form an alliance now?

I'm a lone wolf, very much.

Are you?

Yeah, don't talk to me, don't touch

me, don't come anywhere near me.

Scotland is a very beautiful

country,

and the Highlands in particular.

Isn't it? Aren't we lucky?

So far.

What's coming is a blizzard

of horror.

DISTANT HAMMERING

Keep going. They're almost here.

It feels like we're being led

to something massive, doesn't it?

It's very pretty, though.

If I am going to get m*rder*d by

Traitors,

this is a nice place to go, isn't

it? To die, yeah.

It's very pretty.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, look!

The castle!

There it is.

Oh, wow! Whoa!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Look at that.

Oh, it is absolutely

picture-perfect.

Oh, my God.

It's definitely had a jet wash.

Wow! Oh!

Wow! Oh, my goodness me.

We're really here.

It's stunning, isn't it?

First person out. Get out.

No, it's locked.

What's happening?

♪ Exit light

♪ Enter night

♪ Take my hand

♪ We're off to Never-Neverland. ♪

Oh, no. We're going away again.

Oh, they're going rogue!

Somebody's taken over that

Land Rover.

Now what?

Oh, look, we're all going. We're all

going. Oh! What does this mean?

Something is afoot.

Where are you taking us?

This is a kidnapping.

Argh!

Oh, no. We're turning off.

Oh, watch my piles.!

What's happening here?

Oh, my God. Look at this.

Oh, my God. Look! Look!

Oh, no!

Oh, look!

Oh, my God! This is it.

We've started straight away.

Absolutely no need for that,

is there?

What the frigging potatoes

is going on there?

Look at Claudia!

There she is! Oh, my goodness me!

Claudia Winkleman in a graveyard.

I was looking forward to the castle

much more than a cemetery.

CHARLOTTE LAUGHS

Whoo!

Where are we? Charlotte!

I ain't ready for this, mate.

I ain't ready for this.

How you doing? Oh, my God!

So excited to meet you.

Hi! Hello. How are you?

Hi. How are you? Yeah, I'm good.

How are you?

This is all a bit surreal,

isn't it? Completely and utterly.

And what have we got ourselves into?

Look, our names are on the graves.

What?! There you are, look.

You're at the front.

Where am I? Oh, no!

I don't like that.

I mean, I was sort of hoping

that we'd arrive at the castle

and there'd be a few, like, canapes.

But - oh, no.

Nothing like that at all.

Oh, God. Oh, no! They're all our

names.

Oh, my God! Oh, my goodness.

This is so messed up.

Oh, God. Oh, my goodness.

There she is! Claudia! Claudia!

Players, hello.

Welcome to the Highlands.

I'm going to be honest,

we're starting as we mean to go

on

Oh, God.

..surrounded by death.

Now, I know out in the real world,

you're very important

and successful.

But here, there

is no special treatment.

Very shortly,

I will be selecting my Traitors.

Their job is to remain undetected

and m*rder the Faithful.

However, I'm about to give you

the opportunity to survive

the first m*rder.

And if I know one thing,

nobody wants to go first.

No.

Just behind me, you can see you each

have your own grave -

ready for your potential demise.

Some would say "creepy."

I say "fun."

Buried in each of those graves is

a shield.

And a shield protects you

from m*rder.

Oh, wow. OK.

The first six players to retrieve

a shield

will be protected from

the first m*rder.

So we are about to witness just

how far you will go

Goodness me!

..to save your own skin.

Please go and get ready

and stand by your graves.

Here we go.

Personally,

I wanted to be cremated

and my ashes thrown on

the London Eye.

But, yeah. Hey, do you know what?

A grave where I have to dig through

it to get a shield. Why not?

All right, let's get going.

For me, this is all about keeping

my dignity.

Oh, I'm using my mouth to get that.

Do you need some help?

Yeah, please.

Thank you, Tom. Are you ready?

I did not come here to dig.

Manicure, dressing up, to dig.

In these shoes.

No, I didn't come here for that.

Oh, you're so polite, Tom.

Oh, you know, I try.

You're just as I thought you were.

Players, stand by your own graves.

Sporty people are ready.

I'm incredibly competitive.

I want the shield.

I don't want to die.

Like, who wants to get m*rder*d?

You got any experience

digging graves?

Funnily enough

So, players, good luck.

It's time to save yourselves

..in three

..two

..one. Dig!

I was like a T-Rex

or a kangaroo.

But then I tipped forward

and I was like that.

Right, Celia,

I'm going to help you first.

Why? Nick, did you find your own

shield?No.

My aim was, well,

to try and get Celia a shield,

cos I love her.

Darling, you haven't done yours.

Given that no-one is a Traitor yet,

it sort of made sense that we would

kind of help each other.

Oh, God. It's disgusting.

Oh, Charlotte's in a white dress

and she's in her own grave.

You know, instinct sort

of just takes over a little bit.

I wanted to acquaint myself with

the Scottish soil.

I want to be as sensory as I can,

to get sort of intimate with

the earth, and to be able to really

feel out the shield or the chain.

Did you put my shield

down in Mexico? Where is it?

I have a shield!

Yes! Jonathan Ross has got a

shield.

A really lovely little thing

which is going to ensure me a night

of blissful and trouble-free sleep.

Come on, I'll give you a hand.

Oh, you are a life-saver, Jonathan.

Jonathan ran over

and came to help me,

which was quite embarrassing

because I am the youngest here,

so you would think

that I would be the one helping him.

Gosh!

I was really desperate for a shield

because I don't

want to be m*rder*d first.

So I'll always be,

like, ten out of ten for effort.

And I have to say that I'm very good

at digging.

Quick as well.

Why am I not going deep enough?

Five shields still to be found.

Oh, good God. What's that?

I'm knackered, but I have a shield.

Joe Marler, excellent.Thank you.

It's quite nice knowing that I'm

going to survive the first m*rder.

I don't want to be too smug

about it, but I am quite smug.

Move over, then. Four shields to go.

I don't think the spade

helps at all.

It's not in here.

Ah!

Oh, my God!

Oh, no, it's a rock

OTHERS LAUGH

Keep going, Alan!

Where is the shield?

I can't find it!

There you go, Joe.

Got a shield, Claudia!

Yes, Joe Wilkinson has a shield.

I'm not really feeling proud of

myself

because Joe Marler found it

for me.

When he got stuck in, I couldn't

help but watch.

Three more shields to be found.

Oh, my God! You b*stard!

This is quite intense.

Oh, my God!

Oh! I've got a shield!

I'm so pleased to have this

in my hands.

Shield!

Charlotte Church has got a Shield.

There is only one left to find.

Come on, man! There's only one

left?!

Where is it, though?! Come on, man.

Shield! Yes!

Celia Imrie has a shield!

Yes, but found by you!

That's it. You can stop digging.

Oh, thank God. I basically dug out

the whole grave.

JONATHAN GROANS

Players, congratulations.

Six shields have been won,

and the following people

are protected from m*rder.

Jonathan, Joe Marler, Joe Wilkinson,

Kate, Charlotte and Celia.

Helped by Nick.

Nick selflessly came to help me

in my grave before he'd even looked

for his shield.

And I'm thinking, "He's absolutely

adorable

"..or is he up to something?"

You six are protected

from the first m*rder for now.

The next time I see you

all will be at the Round Table

when I will select my Traitors.

Oh, God.

But for now, you deserve

a sit down and a drink.

Please make your way to

the Traitors castle.

Off you go.

Well done, darling.

All right, I know you're thinking

it, so I'm going to say it -

they've just dug their own graves.

Well done, Charlotte.

Thank you! Well done, Charlotte.

I'm so jealous. Oh, darling.

Well, you two are safe,

aren't you?

Nick came all the way over?

Yes, he came all the way

over very early on.

Oh, hang on. I'm a bit

Is there such a thing

as a selfless act?

I hope there is. Now you've asked

the question.

But I worry in this game.

I'm sorry you didn't get it, guys,

I am.

Oh, my gosh. So we've got, now, a

one in 13 chance of death.

If you form alliance with people,

that might swing it in your favour.

Yeah. Some people know each other

already.

I don't know anyone. We're in

trouble. No, you're not.

And you've got two older

allies here already. Exactly.

Do you know who

I'm suspicious of? Who?

Jonathan. Did you see how he dug his

grave?

Claudia hasn't picked the

Traitors yet.

Oh, we haven't picked a Traitor yet.

Well, I just don't like him.

We're going to really go in this

time?

Oh, my home, guys!

We're in. Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my goodness me! Oh, my God.

Wow, that is beautiful.

It's a bit mad, like,

growing up seeing them all on telly

and now

I'm, like, stuck in a castle with

them

with Claudia Winkleman!

What's going on?

Stephen's getting stuck into the

library.

He's finding some reading.

It's pretty much classics,

it's Dickens,

but there's also A Practical Manual

Of Diseases Of The Chest.

The furniture and the little items,

the knick-knacks, the bibelots,

the objets trouves just delicately

placed on shelves and things,

are deeply pleasing.

So, you know, you've got something

to feast your eyes

and even your fingers on.

This is the kitchen. Oh!

Is it lovely?

I feel that I should have a game

plan,

but to be honest, I haven't.

Got a fridge here, look. That's

nice.

I think a lot of people know me

to be a quite happy-go-lucky

character.

But there's a steely deepness

Yeah, there's a steely deepness.

I want to win, I'm not going to lie.

I want to win.

I'm really bad at this

type of thing.

Snooker is really hard to play.

Oh, see how great that was?!

If I play Traitors

like I play snooker, I'm doomed.

Mm-hm

Mm-hm

Wellies.

Jonathan, what are you doing?

There's nothing in the pocket.

Cat, stick with me.

I've done a lot of escape rooms.

There'll be clues already.

Anyone who's a fan of the game,

like me,

can't help but be excited to be

here.

I think I'll be good at it. I mean,

I do enjoy talking to people,

and I do actually like listening

to people as well,

which is an important skill,

I think, in this game.

Oh! Oh, look at this.

Joe's is excellent.

You look really good,

don't you?

Your eyes look warm

and friendly.

Oh, they've added that.

It's a shame that red crosses

are going to be shoved over them.

Oh, don't say that. Yeah.

All too quickly. Yes.

PEACOCK CALLS

Do you want to be a Faithful

or do you want to be a Traitor?

Do you know what?

I've left it up to the universe.

You've just left it.

You've dropped it.

Can you k*ll people, Niko?

Honestly, I feel like the pressure

of being a Traitor

..I couldn't do it.

I don't know if I believe you.

I'm naturally quite inquisitive,

but as a singer,

I think people will assume

that I am an attention seeker.

Which couldn't be further from

the truth.

I really, actually, don't

like attention.

So I will be sitting back

and observing,

because the loudest people in the

group

are always the ones to look at.

DAVID:Six players with shields,

but some of the six might end

up being Traitors.

Indeed. Quite.

We were saying this, actually, in

the car, that it doesn't

It doesn't preclude.

Exactly.

"Preclude" is exactly the word.

Writing history and making

history programmes

is about building arguments.

It's convincing people to look at

the world the way

that I look at the world,

and I think I'm quite skilled

at that.

But I don't think I'll be any good

at spotting other people

who are trying to pull the wool over

my eyes.

Question, Stephen.

So, what's the process

of being knighted?

Oh!

STEPHEN CHUCKLES

Well, you get a sword

on each shoulder.

And did you wear this?

Er, no! Oh, I wish!

No, that would be good. I am

I qualify for it now, don't I?

Yes, that's basically your look.

But my mother was there and she was,

pretty

You know, given what a dreadful

child I was.

I mean, I literally went to prison

and things like that.

So it was a bit of a Kind of

this troubled child

has finally been less of a disgrace.

Wow. But, yeah.

But anyway, we must It's

We're all Faithfuls or Traitors,

that's all there is to it.

I mean, cos you were famous

for barging into places

and pretending to be things

you aren't.

How do you know that?

Oh, I I have a sticky memory.

Wow! Yeah.

Stephen Fry knows who I am!

The one thing which I wanted was

to be kind of unknown to everyone.

Now everyone's going to see me

as a conniving prankster.

Oh!

ALAN:Would you like a white wine,

a beer?

Have any of you done bar

work before?

Yeah, I've worked in a bar,

and I used to glass collect.

Did you? Yeah. Hello, darling,

what do you want?

I'm going to be friendly

with everyone.

But it is a game, at the end of the

day.

I didn't come all this way and

pack a load of fabulous outfits

to go home first.

I could have done with a shield.

Yeah, couldn't we all?

But the only people who decide

whether you go home first

are us as a Round Table, or whoever

gets picked as bloody Traitors.

I know. And, God, you're looking

beautiful, both of you.

THEY ALL LAUGH

Good boy! Good boy!

Well done, Alan. I'm desperate.

19 celebrities have entered

the castle for the very first time

to play the ultimate game.

But who's going to go over

to the dark side?

It's time to select my Traitors.

Are you quite trusting?

Oh, God, totally. I am so naive.

I am your Labrador who literally

comes in wagging their tail

and goes to everyone.

I'd like them to think of me

as this wholesome guy

that sits in the corner knitting,

when actually those knitting needles

can be used for something

far more sinister.

Oh! Oh, my God! Wow!

I always make my own mind up

about people.

Like, I go off of facts.

So if I'm saying something, I'll

make sure that I have the

receipts to back it up.

Can you cope under pressure?

I think being neurodivergent

is going to help me a lot

because I've got very

black and white thinking.

My brain will always tell me

it's a game,

so I won't take anything personally.

Can you spot a liar?

Nobody can spot a liar.

At least, if you do spot a liar,

it's probably through a reason,

through a slip,

not through this gut instinct

that we put so much value on.

I can read people.

It's the body language.

It's what you're saying to me

without saying to me.

As I've been a journalist for a

scary number of years,

I'm hoping that I can help

the other Faithfuls

by asking the right questions.

I think they already think

I'm not very intelligent,

but I've sussed them all out.

Have you?

Yeah. This is life or death,

isn't it?

The thing is, people think I'm nice,

but I'm not.

CELIA CHUCKLES

People have the wrong

impression of me,

and that could be terribly useful

in this game.

So, this is it.

Welcome to the Round Table.

I need you to look at each other

..and properly look at each other.

As everything is about to change.

Your fate in the game

is going to be decided.

Would you like to be a Traitor,

or would you like to be a Faithful?

I'd like to be a Faithful.

I would rather be on the side of the

angels anyway in life. Who wouldn't?

Oh, God, Claudia, a Traitor,

of course I do.

Stephen Fry, Clare Balding -

top national treasures.

NICK LAUGHS

Gone!

I'd like to think I've got

the skillset to be a good Faithful.

A Faithful.

I hope to be an absolutely

formidable Traitor hunter.

I would like to be a Traitor.

I'd love to see the Turret,

simple as that.

I think I would probably be

a good Traitor. Yeah.

I don't want to incriminate myself,

but I have always wanted to

m*rder a celebrity.

I would like to be a Traitor.

Why?Because it's a game,

it's fun to be a Traitor.

It's fun to k*ll people.

I want to be a Faithful. Do you?

No, I want to be a Traitor.

I think that

I could be good at either role.

But I just think it makes

a nice change

from being a lovely mum at home,

to just have a break from it

and be really evil.

Traitor.

Are you ready to k*ll?

In the game.

Justthat on record.

Legally.

I want to be a Traitor.

ALAN GIGGLES

Oh, God, Alan!I know!

You will have to stab people

in the back.

They'd do it to me,

they're showbiz people.

I'd do it to them.

You know what celebrities are like -

they're two-faced.

Players,

I'm about to select my Traitors.

Please put on your blindfolds.

If you feel me touch you

on the shoulder,

that means that you are a Traitor.

My heart is absolutely racing.

It's exploding out of my chest.

I'm thinking, "Just please,

please don't choose me."

I'm a Traitor!

That's really kind of exciting

and kind of terrifying.

I'm feeling my heartrate

going up a bit.

I'm really fiercely concentrating

on,

"Don't make a noise,

don't make a move.

"Don't give anything away,

do not cough."

HEAVY FOOTSTEPS

CLAUDIA STAMPS HER FOO

Oh, my God!

The game has begun.

I'm ready to get my hands dirty,

I'm ready to play the game.

This is going to be fun.

FOOTSTEPS CONTINUE

CLAUDIA STAMPS HER FOO

HE GIGGLES

Oh, God!

I feel sick.

What am I going to do?

Players,

the game has officially begun.

I have selected my Traitors

..and the course of the game

has been set.

The rest of you are the Faithful.

Players,

please remove your blindfolds.

QUIETLY:My eyes

STEPHEN EXHALES

Traitors,

you will meet and discover

each other's identities tonight.

Your task is simple -

remain undetected

and m*rder the Faithful.

Faithful,

you must hunt down the Traitors

and banish them

here in this very room.

Get it wrong, and you will

banish an innocent Faithful.

So, who's who?

I'm afraid that's for you

to work out.

Along the way,

you will build up a prize fund

of up to £100,000.

Now, remember, if there are

any Traitors left at the end,

they take all the money

for their charity.

Not only that,

they take all the glory.

I'll be honest,

that was quite tense.

Would you like some good news?

Mm-hm. Yes. Yes!

There is no m*rder tonight.

CHEERING, GASPS OF RELIEF

Tiny word of warning -

don't relax too much.

Tomorrow, the k*lling spree begins.

I'm just glad to get the

bloody blindfold off, frankly.

Oh, gosh!

That was nerve-racking.

I mean, how many times around

and around? Yeah. I was like

Lord God!

I could just hear you breathing.

Sorry!

When they were wheeling me down

to get my leg chopped off,

it was less tense than that.

It was less tense! Yeah.

Very, very nerve-racking.

But the nice thing is, no m*rder

tonight, so everyone's here

I know. I know. That is good.

It's a lovely feeling. That is good.

Blimey, that was so tense!

Cheers, everyone. Cheers. Cheers!

Cheers, everyone. We're in the game.

SHE RETCHES

Help! Paloma's dead.

Traitors stay behind, please.

LAUGHTER

Good try, good try.

I thought I wanted to be a Traitor,

but

I have a sweating problem

and I can't keep a secret.

It's too much.

What am I going to do?

Wasn't that scary?

It was scary, yeah. Oh, my God.

I feel like, a little bit like,

"Oh, can we relax now?"

But then you're just worried

they're going to k*ll you. I know.

Yeah, you're worried

you're going to die. Yeah.

I don't care that I don't

have a shield any more

cos it doesn't matter, does it,

cos I can't die.

As soon as we all took

our blindfolds off, it felt like

..an energy shift.

It's too early to tell now

if anyone has any suspicions of me.

I'm hoping my fellow Traitors

are good at lying,

but there's nothing else

I'm concerned about.

I'm just hoping that we can

all keep under the radar.

You've got to You've got to

look at each other now, you know.

"So, are you a Faithful?"

LAUGHING:Oh, don't!

Oh!

It's the worst secret ever

and it's just burning me.

It's a weight round my shoulders.

Oh, God, I'm so nervous!

I don't Have you got any

ideas of who it is?

Faithful Fancy?

Do we think it's alcoholic, though?

I saw Celia and Clare

and I just went, "Ooh,

"those two look a bit suspicious."

But actually

..there was no reason

to pick them!

But I was desperate.

Out of all these people here Mm.

..there must be at least one

younger person who's a Traitor.

Do you think?

I don't want to say that because,

like, it

It could start a fox hunt for us,

but as two younger people,

I feel like

Do you think? Or do you think

cos they don't know us?

Maybe we'll just fly under the

radar. Yeah, exactly, yeah.

Just say the odd word here and

there. Yeah!

But if you get a hunch on someone

Yeah, I'll tell you. OK.

We'll look out

Yeah, we'll look out for each other.

OK, I like that.

Is this an alliance?

It's an alliance. It's an alliance.

Niko, he seems like

a really nice person.

I think my game play for

the most part is to

..just be myself.

You know, maybe be a bit friendlier.

I'm not really notorious

for my people skills.

It does actually feel like we're

in the game now, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does. And also I thought

that I was going to be just like,

"I'm just going to get rid of"

Now I'm like, "I want to find

those Traitors now."

Can I be honest with you?

I felt a bit disappointed though,

because I actually do feel

kind of powerless now, don't you?

You feel kind of like, "OK"

Oh, God, no. I'm thrilled.

I'm so relieved.

You're still happy, you're?

I am so relieved.

You might all be lying, though.

Cos you might all be lying.

We can't trust anything anyone

says from now on.

No!

Everyone's going to start

playing the game now,

and they weren't really playing

the game before cos, of course,

the game didn't exist before.

The game only exists now that we are

Traitors, whoever the others may be.

We have to be nimble

and fluid and adaptable.

CLOCK TICKS

Tell me something that's

genuinely true about you

and then I'll ask you if

you're a Traitor.

We'll all analyse. Oh, you're trying

to get a baseline.

So, are you a father?

Yes. OK.

Are you a Traitor? No.

Ooh, there was a slightly different

blink. You didn't smile that time.

Oh! That's true!

Do me next, do me next!

Do you next?

Come on, come on, come on.

OK.

Are you an incredible singer?

Well, I'd like to think so, yes.

Oh, I'm sorry, that was

OK, are you wearing a check jacket?

I am, yes.

Are you a Traitor?

No. I'm not.

The weird thing is,

everybody goes slightly serious

with the Traitor answers.

CLOCK TICKS

in this circle all the time,

whenever I sit down.

Well, someone will Yes.

The chances are someone is.

If you're not telling us,

you're scum.

TAMEKA, LAUGHING:You're scum!

You're absolute scum.

I've got my suspicions.

I tried to be

I was like "ha-ha-ha."

I was just laughing,

so I'm like, "I'm not a Traitor."

But, oh, God.

I'm worse than Linda.

I am worse than Linda.

Why are we whispering?

Do I have to whisper?

I was going to ask,

"Jonathan, why are you whispering?"

Because I'm trying to be a Traitor

and I'm not very comfortable yet.

When I see them,

I think I'm either

going to scream or cry.

My thing was to go under the radar

and, um,

I think I've pole vaulted over it.

No, they don't.

It was a big day yesterday,

wasn't it?

Mm, my nerves were frazzled.

I just don't want to go home first.

Well, it won't be you.

You're definitely a Faithful, Alan,

I can see it.

Tom Daley and Niko, I think,

are worth looking at.

Oh, that's good. Tom kind of blushed

and looked around very fast,

soon as the blindfolds came off.

But Tom is really smart.

But he's sort of

He's the baby-faced assassin.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

And Niko also, there's something

about the way he looked at everybody

but then He was looking quite

intensely at everybody, wasn't he?

He WAS looking intense, I felt.

You two are both

world-class actors.

"Blah, blah, blah,"

I would say to that.

Anyway, go on. So, is there any way

you can pick up if someone's acting?

Last night,

I noticed a change in Tameka.

I thought she seemed jittery,

a little unsure.

I just sensed something that wasn't

quite sitting right with her.

How are we feeling about the

mission?

Rather anxious.

Are you guys quite strong? No.

OK, great.

Well, I go to the gym

and I do bicep curls, if that helps.

We're going somewhere

really remote here.

What's it going to be?

There's something ahead of us.

Up the hill. Look, look, look!

Oh, what's that?

Oh, my gosh!

I see something big and on wheels.

That's my mobility scooter!

JONATHAN:It's a funeral pyre.

Or is it a Trojan horse?

ALAN:Clare, you're going to love

this, it's a horse. I know!

Look at this, Joe.

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my God, it's massive.

Is that a Trojan horse?

Looks like, doesn't it?

When we all saw the horse,

we were like,

"Yes!"

This is exactly

why we signed up for this.

Welcome to Traitors.

Welcome to your first mission.

This is the Trojan horse.

Now, the Trojan horse

was used to infiltrate Troy

in one of the greatest acts

of deceit in Greek mythology.

Stephen, this one's for you.

LAUGHTER

Just like the Trojan horse,

the Traitors are infiltrating

all of you in this game.

Now, what do you want to do

with the Traitors?

Burn them! Expose them!

Stephen got it.

You want to get rid of them,

and the way you're going to get rid

of this Trojan horse

is by setting it on fire.

Oh, wow! Burn, baby, burn.

To set it on fire,

you have to move this giant horse

to a firepit,

all the way over there.

Slight problem -

along the route,

you will come to four locked gates.

At each gate, there is either

a question or a puzzle.

Answer it correctly and you will

release a key to open the gate.

HINGES CREAK

If you manage to pull the

Trojan horse through the four gates

and set it on fire

within the allotted time,

I will add £15,000

to your prize fund.

APPLAUSE

Yesterday, Celia,

Charlotte, Joe Marler,

Joe Wilkinson, Jonathan and Kate,

you all won shields.

There are no more shields

up for grabs today.

It is all about the prize pot.

The siege of Troy lasted ten years.

You have exactly

30 minutes.

Doesn't sound fair.

Good luck.

I'll see you at the end.

Yes, Claud!

Strut away.

This felt

classic Traitors, this mission.

Teamwork, a massive horse with

a slight, tenuous link to history

that no-one really understands.

But, hey,

I'm not knocking Claudia.

I would suggest that the

massive power is at the back,

led by Joe Marler, and I

think the brake person has to be

the lightest, and Ruth, if you're

happy to do that, is that cool?

I'm on it.

OK, so that's the first bit. Tom.

Changing as we go as well,

so you don't fatigue

from doing the same thing.

Changing positions will help.

This is why you have a gold medal.

CAT:Clare and Tom

take on the leader roles.

That could work to

the Traitors' benefit.

The more attention you get,

the more chance you have of people

being suspicious of you.

Oh, my God!

Three

..two

..one.

HORN SOUNDS

Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Come on! Steady!

We had to pull and push

two and a half tons of wooden horse

up a track, through four gates,

and at every gate, there was

a question to be answered.

OK, OK, OK.

Keep going!

SCREAMING

It's getting a little bit uphill.

I think we should give it some.

Pushing that horse up the hill

was flashbacks straight away

into the scrums.

Although the back end of that

horse smelled miles better

than the scrums

I've been involved in.

Give it some!

Getting a bit harder.

Keep it up!

I am surprisingly strong,

and I was at the back

pushing the horse with all the boys.

All the big boys and me.

I was very happy.

JONATHAN GROANS

Come on, Alan!

Pull it, pull it, pull it!

LUCY SCREAMS

Keep going, keep going.

Oh, wow!

Yeah!

Ah! I'm shattered!

Pull it!

TOM:Slow down.

Slow!

Stop.

Stop!

Oh, my God!

At each gate,

they can only give one answer.

They get it wrong, there is

a much faster way to open it,

but it does mean somebody will have

to part with something

very precious.

SHE READS:"To open the gate, you

must answer the question correctly

"or sacrifice a shield."

Ooh! Oh, God!

Wow! Oh, lord.

"If a player chooses to

sacrifice their shield,

"they will no longer be protected

from tonight's m*rder."

No. I was not tempted

to give up my shield.

Why would I give up the shield?

It's an opportunity to have

an extra night here.

Like, it's safety.

Question

Dial in your answer.

Come on, Stephen.

Romeo And Juliet. All right.

Paris.

So, we have Mercutio, Paris

Tybalt. ..Tybalt,

Romeo And Juliet.

That's five.

Well, we can start trying.

And Hamlet. Mercutio.

Tybalt. Tybalt.

No. Oh, sh*t! I've locked it in

and I didn't mean to!

You've locked it in?!

No! What?! Why?

Why did? I didn't realise

I locked it in. Sorry!

I thought, "Oh, we can guess

lots of numbers.

"So while they're working that out,

"I'll just stick a number in,"

thinking it was like a combination

lock and you can start trying

lots of numbers.

Anyway, that was it, because the

lever didn't go back up again.

Guys, wait, stop, stop. Clare has

locked in the answer there.

That's what they're doing.

But we haven't pulled the lever yet,

it's fine.

No, I've made

a complete mistake there,

cos I didn't realise

that was locking it in.

The worst mistake.

It's over before it's even started,

before they've even got a chance

to give a sensible guess.

I thought we could start guessing,

is what I thought.

Oh, no, no. It's a final answer.

Clare locks it in and I'm like,

"The Traitors met last night.

"Was part of their thing

to sabotage the mission?

"To get people to give up

as many shields as possible?"

Clare pulling that lever is exactly

what a Traitor would do.

ALAN:OK, right, sacrifice a shield.

I'll give up my shield.

Oh, well done.

Oh, bless you. Hard luck, Clare.

Don't worry.

MARK:"Detach from chain

and insert shield."

Oh, gosh.

Detach from And insert shield.

Right, there you go.

I'm not fuming about my shield.

It was the right thing to do.

We've got the opportunity

to win £15,000.

It was all or nothing,

so it was just like For me,

it's just a total no-brainer.

STEPHEN:Here we go.

Gate one is open!

Well done! Oh

As you were.

Go! Go! Go on, then.

OK, we move again.

Oh, it's too fast! It's too fast!

Don't run! Don't run! Don't run!

Go steady! Say "Go steady, no

running"

and then everyone's jogging!

Argh!

Getting tough.

You're nearly there!

CHARLOTTE SCREAMS

Nearly there! Move to the right.

Nearly there!

Right, go on the wheels.

Perfect!

It's really proper exercise.

I'm actually shaking.

Yeah!

Anyone who gives up their shield

too readily

is going to be suspected of

being a Traitor,

so I am genuinely puffing,

but I'm over puffing so I can stay

back there and not be looked at.

VOICEOVER:It was a question

of matching symbols that,

it turns out, had actually

been on the previous gate posts.

It was these ones. I looked at

every one of those. Oh, well done!

The first one had seven

and then this one is the flame.

The one before was an arrow.

I'm not sure what this one was.

VOICEOVER:Oh! I remembered the

candelabra, I remembered the arrow,

So, congratulations.

Thank you, Claudia. Well done.

Thank you, Claudia. Well done.Whoo!

Even though there's Traitors amongst

us trying to stab us in the back

at every moment, it feels good

to add that money to the pot.

It's going to be like

the Last Supper. Amazing.

"One of you will betray me."

Oh, they're so friendly now.

Won't be so friendly later.

Somebody is going to get m*rder*d.

Clare had a flashback to being

in Vegas and thought she was

on the old slots, the way

she yanked that lever back.

Charlotte, you were amazing,

giving up that shield.

I'm so glad that I'm not a Traitor

because after that,

I think it'll be actually hard

to choose somebody to k*ll.

Absolutely awful.

Who gave up their shield?

Charlotte gave up her shield.

She was very willing to give it up.

I think she was just being

a team player.

But what happens if she's a Traitor?

Well, then, she doesn't

have to worry about it. Exactly.

I'm not certain at all, but I am

suspicious of Kate a little bit.

With her shield,

I don't think she ever, like,

really had it out on show.

No, she didn't. She didn't.

I just think, ordinarily, she would

strike me as the type of person

that would give up a shield.

So we've got no suspicions?

No.

Niko's not a Traitor.

He can't be a Traitor.

Even though with the pranks?

His pranks?

Oh! I hadn't realised

that angle of it all.

Oh, God!

PEACOCK CALLS

Oh, home sweet home.

I tell you what, the aches

are setting in now, oh!

I'm very happy with how the mission

went,

and it was a moment of triumph.

And you know what?

It made me feel a bit bad

because I felt like

I was part of a team,

but it's a team

that I have to try and k*ll,

so it's bittersweet for me.

Turnip, haggis. Ooh, yeah!

Well, I'm going to go into the

library, I think, to eat, because

I want to check how many people died

in Hamlet. OK.

I think the word is ex-hausted.

It was an amazing experience,

that mission.

There must be a Complete Works

Of Shakespeare here.

Poor Clare Balding

made a terrible mistake

and she's absolutely

kicking herself for it.

It's really So, I don't know what

the answer to the first quiz was.

I think it's 13.

It's how many people die

in Romeo And Juliet and Hamlet.

I wonder if Benvolio dies?

I think he might. Hmm?

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

But the Traitors, they met

Last night.

They wouldn't have just met

just to say hi. No.

There would have been some kind of

ulterior motive behind it,

and I think there must be something

around, like,

see how many shields you can

strip from the group,

by either getting things wrong

or slowing it down enough

where you have to use shields to

get through the game. Clare Balding.

You said it, not me.

She pulled that lever.

No! She looked gutted.

I mean, she looked gutted.

She did, yeah.

She did, but was it a, "Oh!"?

Yeah, or was it, "Oops!"?

You know? Mm Oh, God.

It can't be Clare, she's a

national Oh, my gosh, my strategy

was not to, like, do this.

Cos a Traitor would come up with

..you know, a plot like you have

with poor old Clare,

who hasn't done anything wrong.

Are you trying to help her?

Oh, God!

Are you trying to cover for her?

Leave Clare alone!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, God!

Since arriving at the castle,

the players have had

to dig their own graves,

set a Trojan horse alight, and now

it's time for the first m*rder.

The Traitors are going to k*ll

in plain sight.

How? They're about to find out.

Oh, no!

QUIETLY:Oh, God.

What is this?

OK.

"Traitors"

"Tonight, you must m*rder

in plain sight."

"To do this,

"you must find the poisoned black

lily somewhere in the castle."

"You must find this deadly

flower"

"..rub your hands

with the poisoned pollen"

"..and touch the face of the

Faithful you want to m*rder."

"The poison is slow acting."

"The m*rder*d Faithful

will not die tonight."

"You must do this

before the night is over."

LAUGHING:Oh, God!

God.

I don't know

how we're going to do this.

♪ No time to waste

♪ Under the setting sun ♪

How am I going to

touch someone's face?!

I don't like physical touch

at the best of times.

It's going to look so weird if I go

up to somebody and grab their face.

It's going to have to be Alan.

This really has just thrown the cat

amongst the pigeons.

I was having such a lovely night.

Oh! Traitors, what are you like?!

You were incredibly young when you

started to become well-known as a

diver. You were the best known diver

in Britain when you were 12. Yes.

I just always kind of had the, like,

I don't know, very competitive,

but We will remember this

for the game, by the way. Mm. Yeah.

ALAN:Poisoned black lily.

I've seen a black lily in the bar.

INDISTINCT CHA

Oh, it's Alan!

Hello, Alan.

Oh, God!

Having sweets available

all the time is hard.

That's why we've come in here.

We're just doing shots. Shots?

VOICEOVER:

I'm a little bit frightened

that we're having to m*rder in

plain sight this early in the game

and the castle is so packed

with people.

I haven't been going around

touching people's faces,

so it might seem unusual,

it might be noticeable.

Oh! Look at this.

Don't, cos I can't!

THEY LAUGH

You love making drinks, don't you?

I love it!

Alan, bless him, has got a very loud

speaking voice. He was talking to me

whilst in the room with other people

about the mission and I was

thinking, "Alan, shut up!"

Ooh.

Mm-hm. OK.

So there are five shields in play,

yeah? Cos Charlotte gave hers up.

Immediately. Yeah.

And with not even a quest

Literally, the second we got stuck,

she was like That's because

Shall I cut you up a lemon?

Yeah, go on, then.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Oh, God.

My heart's going pitter-patter,

pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

Oh, no, I wasn't expecting it

to be this tough.

Do you want to go to the kitchen?

Yeah. Do you know what?

I might actually have a cup of tea.

Yeah. Anyone want to cup of tea? No.

No rose, you've drank it all.

I'm going to have a cuppa.

LAUGHTER

I mean, but the thing is, though,

we've got no evidence, right?

This is just supposition, so we, you

know, we've just got to plan on it.

The only safety is the fact

that we've got shields.

Oh, yeah, we've got a shield.

OK, so, yeah, we are safe tonight.

That's good.

I'm making a brew

cos we're out of rose.

Lovely, get a lovely brew.

JONATHAN:It's much harder

to get a moment on your own.

It's much harder to do anything

without being observed.

I got the chance to talk to my

fellow Traitors very briefly

in the kitchen,

which was quite terrifying.

What? Quick, quick, quick.

WHISPERING:OK,

I think the best person to do it,

and I'm not throwing you

under the bus, is you.

I think you can touch someone's face

without it being scary.

Oh!

We were whispering, so that's

kind of a bit of a giveaway

if anyone walks in a room, and

there are three people whispering.

You immediately think, "Traitors!"

We should, by the way, talk

a bit louder, but I think, um

Or one of us should do Yeah,

I know where it is. Oh, great.

Cos I've seen it,

it's opposite the bar.

And if we were, knowing about that,

where would Who would be

a face that you could touch? I'm

just thinking it's got to be a woman

and I go, "You've got something

on your face," yeah. All right.

Shall we leave you to it?

I've got to get everyone

out of that bar.

Shall we cover you and get some out?

We thought Alan was the best person

to do it,

cos I think he genuinely was.

Right, OK.

You can do this, Alan.

I then realised that he had to go

into a room, not be observed

doing something quite odd, rubbing

his fingers against a flower.

Ooh! Please!

So I thought I'd make it as easy

for him as possible.

Shall we go outside? Let's go and

get some air. Outside sounds good.

I'm just going to touch

anyone's face.

I'll keep walking around.

Let's go make dessert.

Yeah, yeah, let's go.

Did Jonathan go out already?

I don't know.

I lifted the bell jar off

of the flower.

I'm just worried that Alan has

enough time to still pull this off.

It's all up to him now.

Today was really good. It was really

PALOMA:Ruth, I don't know

if you're a Traitor,

but that is psychopathic,

what you're doing.

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah, why would you? No, I'm

making a dessert plate for everyone.

I'm being nice.

Everyone's going outside.

I'm going to go outside

with the firepit.

Alan's so nervous. I didn't know

whether he would be able to do it.

But I think we'll be able to do it,

as long as Alan doesn't slip up.

If you could choose an animal

to sort of symbolise

your personal ambition,

what would you choose?

Monkey. That's a good one, yes,

that would suit you. Very good.

I can't believe

they've left me to it.

I have people that I want to k*ll,

It's the touching the face

What am I going to do?!
