The Traitors

Previously on "The Traitors"...

Dan and Phaedra committed their first murder.

It's Bananas!

-He was somebody who can’t be controlled.

-The faithfuls then turned on one of their own.

-My name has been floated around.

The person responsible is Trishelle.

-Peppermint. -Peppermint.

I found you out.

I am...

a faithful. - Oh!

I am not happy right now.

-And the traitors recruited a final member.

Welcome to the dark side.

By the power invested in me from these ancient grounds,

I now pronounce you...

a traitor.

Oh, my God!

**

**

-You are crushing it. - Thank you.

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

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

Phaedra and Dan are really savvy.

I had no clue.

-So we were watching you all day today.

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

Pretty good?

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

-Thank you. -...where killing is not a crime.

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

She’s known for being ruthless and cutthroat.

My hope is that we can work together

for the long term in this game.

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

she’s still an easy person to shove

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

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

Who is the next victim?

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

So it means that we can murder whoever we want.

-Traitor buffet. -

Traitor buffet.

What about Deontay?

He doesn’t have a shield right now.

Ooh.

-Because he could probably get a shield

for every other challenge if they’re physical.

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

Let’s talk other options.

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

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

-Marcus was voted as the person’s opinion

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

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

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

I mean, if we murder Marcus, she is going to lose her mind.

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

Well, the obvious is Janelle.

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

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

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

for us at the round table.

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

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

So what is it, guys?

How are we going to decide?

**

-* I don’t know where to go from here *

* All I know is fear *

* I’m fighting *

-I hope we made the right decision.

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

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

that’s already been established.

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

And now I’m in the inner circle.

Guys, my first murder.

-Good job. -Thank you.

-You’re a killer. I can tell you’re a natural.

Oh, thank you so much.

**

* I'll live for you *

* I'll die for you *

**

-With the traitors now a treacherous trio,

they’ve committed their second murder.

**

This morning, the surviving players

are heading to breakfast.

One player won’t make it.

But only the traitors know who that is.

**

-Oh, yeah. -We are the only ones here.

- Oh, my God. -Yes!

We are early risers.

-Today my wish came true, and I’m first at breakfast.

Congratulations. Mwah! Little dream team over here.

I want to watch everyone walking in.

In the life of a professional dancer,

I get to meet a lot of people.

I have plenty of instincts about people.

I’m here to play. I’m here to win.

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

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

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

You gotta manifest.

-So who do you think is potentially in danger?

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

within what happened yesterday.

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

Poor Peppermint.

Oh, my God.

-Dang. Here we go, here we go, here we go.

Okay. All right. -Hey!

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

-Yeah, we were scared for you, Trishelle.

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

-I am so excited that I’m not murdered.

I was obviously very wrong last night

about Peppermint not being a traitor.

And I feel like I’m going to pull back

a little bit more today.

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

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

Ooh.

-Okay. -Shh.

-Nope. -Ahh!

Hi!

-Hey. -Congrats, guys.

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

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

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

I’m like, "I can relax for a night."

I didn’t. I stressed.

I’m curious to see if this murder says anything.

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

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

And then the second murder, random just to not, like,

allow people to follow your trail.

So there’s so many routes you can take.

-Peter’s just putting together certain theories.

And I think Peter’s pretty smart

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

a traitor at breakfast.

-Uh-oh. -Uh-oh.

Oh, gosh. Who is it?

-Ahh! -Oh, my God!

-Morning. -Who did you kill, John?

-Good morning. -Doesn't arise.

John, who’s not coming, John?

-What’s up, guys? -Oh! Hey! -Yeah!

-Super grateful to be alive right now.

Morals is a huge thing for me,

but this game is about getting the upper hand,

taking advantage of each other.

I think if I can find the right people

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

stay under the radar, and I won’t get killed.

-Oh, my gosh, let’s go. Let it be Marcus, girl.

Let it be Marcus right now.

God dang it.

-Oh, oh, my God. -Ah!

I made it!

-I’m so happy. -C.T.! C.T., baby!

I was wrong! Wow!

-Every time the door opens, I am hoping and praying

Marcus walks through the door.

-C.T.! I’m so happy you’re here. I’m happy you’re here.

-You guys, who is not coming back?

-Parvati, Janelle, Deontay. -And Marcus.

Oh my God, Larsa.

-Damn. It’s going down to the wire.

I'm very grateful. Thank you.

-Oh, God. You guys, you guys, you guys. -Oh, okay.

**

-Oh, God. You guys, you guys, you guys. Oh, okay.

**

Marcus?

Oh, no!

-Wait, what? -Marcus. -Marcus.

-Marcus? -Yeah.

-Marcus. -Shit.

-I don’t understand that. That didn’t even cross my head.

That doesn’t make any sense.

**

It just doesn't make sense.

-Marcus -- I think he’s one of the smartest players

that could figure us out.

Well, that’s gotta go.

Sealed with a kiss.

Let’s see.

-"Dear Marcus, by order of the traitors,

you have been murdered."

You know, I feel like maybe I was too much of a threat.

And then also, I feel like people are jealous that I --

You know, I have my girlfriend, Larsa, here,

so, you know, they got me.

-Marcus?! Why Marcus? -Wow!

Aw, I feel so bad!
