00:00At Slane Castle, Siobhan MacSweeney stands with four Irish wolfhounds.
00:06Oh, hello.
00:08Don't worry, the others will be arriving soon.
00:11And then the games will begin.
00:15And soon you'll feast.
00:17Yes, you will. Yes, you will.
00:19Soon.
00:20She smirks.
00:21Twenty-four people from across the country have been invited to this castle in the heart of ancient Ireland.
00:31Any idea what castle do you think we might be going to?
00:33No.
00:34To play the ultimate murder mystery game in the hope of winning up to 50,000 euro.
00:42They'll work together as a team.
00:44Go! Go!
00:45And build up that prize fund by completing epic missions.
00:49Get them! Get them, Will! Get them!
00:53Concealed amongst them are the traitors.
00:56Who, under the cover of darkness, will secretly murder their fellow players.
01:01Eliminating them from the game.
01:03You're the puppeteer behind the chaos.
01:04Where's your evidence?
01:05It's up to the faithful to work out who the traitors are.
01:08I suspect you.
01:09And banish them before they murder again.
01:13That is a categorical lie.
01:16No, I don't trust anyone.
01:19Who will live, who will die.
01:23This is the traitors.
01:26The title, The Traitor's Ireland.
01:31Hashtag Traitors IRL.
01:33Two monk-like hooded figures guard gates at the castle as cars arrive with contestants.
01:39Blonde event manager Faye, 27.
01:41It's intense.
01:42It's so scary and so different than my normal.
01:45I've never done anything like this before.
01:47As black cars travel in convoy over an arch bridge, the figures turn, revealing gold face masks.
01:53Oh my God, the masks.
01:55My name is Andrew.
01:56I'm 33 years of age and I'm from Limerick.
01:58The banishment, the murders, the round tables.
02:02I want to experience all of the game.
02:05Oh my God.
02:07I don't know.
02:08Is it midlife crisis or what?
02:09It's a challenge and I am very excited.
02:14Do you know what castle this is?
02:15It's like.
02:16Oh, is it?
02:17I'm starting to get mad.
02:18Butterflies now.
02:19Harry Styles was playing here a few years ago.
02:21I was meant to go, but I never went.
02:23I could tell you guys I nearly came to, but they're a lot older than Harry Styles.
02:28Fireman John, 53.
02:29Being a faithful would definitely be my preference, but if I was a trader, I could do that job.
02:35I think I could, I hope I could.
02:39Presenter Siobhan hoists a flag with a hooded face motif.
02:42As it billows in the wind, the hooded figures push open heavy iron gates.
02:47Cars with traitors for license plates enter.
02:50I give them away, do they?
02:51I want to be cunning, witty and win this game.
02:56A few of the 23 people are equally trying to do that as well.
02:58You know, is their name their real name?
03:01You know, is their profession their real profession?
03:04Bearded David is 48 and a foreman craft gardener.
03:08There's the castle there, no?
03:09Oh, wow.
03:11I've been telling people I'm a courier.
03:13If I was a trader and I knew there was a guard in the castle, they'd be the first ones gone
03:16because they're going to think I'm some sort of Sherlock Holmes or something, you know?
03:19Red-bearded Garda Eamon, 36.
03:22Release!
03:23Siobhan releases the hounds and they run at speed as the cars travel up to the castle.
03:28Retired Prison Officer Pawdy, 68.
03:31Very impressive.
03:32I'd leave my wife behind me, Bernadette.
03:35We've been married since 1978.
03:37We've never been a path, so it's a big change.
03:42Oh, there's Siobhan McSweeney!
03:43Oh, my God.
03:45Blessed are thou, my woman.
03:47Oh, my God.
03:48I love her.
03:49Oh, my God.
03:49Business graduate Kelly, 23.
03:51I just graduated college.
03:53I don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I think 50 grand would set me up pretty nicely.
03:58Oh, my God!
03:59With quiffed short hair, Siobhan in black blazer and voluminous red skirt stands with her hands
04:06together as the contestants pull up at the splendid castle.
04:09Leadership Consultant Caitlin, 32.
04:12I don't think anything can prepare you for the amount of people that step out of the car.
04:18Beauty Therapist Christine, 38.
04:21Let the game for the game.
04:22I just feel sick in my stomach, nervous, anxious, overwhelmed.
04:28Oh, my God.
04:29This is so intense.
04:30This isn't it, yeah.
04:32I'm taking it all in.
04:34Hello, lovelies.
04:35Hello, Siobhan.
04:37Welcome to Traitor's Castle in Slane.
04:41I'm sure some of you have committed some acts of debauchery here.
04:44But don't worry if you have not, for I see some debauchery in your immediate future.
04:55Soon, I will pick my traitors.
04:59And under the cover of darkness, they will murder their fellow players.
05:05Up for grabs is 50,000 euro.
05:09And if there are any traitors left at the end of the game, well, they take the whole lot.
05:14As for the rest of you, well, you will be my faithful.
05:20And you will have an opportunity each night to banish a traitor.
05:24Simply put, get them before they get you.
05:27For the traitors will try every trick in the book to escape detection and to slip under the radar.
05:34Become your best friend or your arch nemesis.
05:38Are you ready to play?
05:41Yes.
05:42Yeah?
05:42Let's...
05:43Oh.
05:44Actually, hold on a second.
05:47Before we go in, would you mind doing something for me?
05:50Yeah?
05:52First impressions are everything in the castle.
05:55Without you knowing, you have already formed opinions that will shape the outcome of this game.
06:04So with that in mind, I would like you, as a group, to pick the person that you think is the most trustworthy.
06:15Off you go.
06:18Who do you think in this group is the most trustworthy?
06:21Pick one person.
06:21We don't have all day.
06:24Come on.
06:25Eamon.
06:26What does a trustworthy person look like?
06:27I don't know.
06:28Do they have a beard?
06:28I don't know.
06:29Like...
06:29David.
06:30Nobody was really stepping forward, so I nominated Andrew.
06:33Andrew looks quite trustworthy.
06:36Andrew, you're very trustworthy looking.
06:37I share the car with Andrew on the way up, and I genuinely feel that Andrew is a really nice guy.
06:44Right, Andrew, we all vote you up.
06:45I feel like I've been fixed.
06:48Andrew, civil servant, 33.
06:51I needed to just say no.
06:52I just stand my ground, and I was almost too obliging to just walk up.
06:56Hands in his pockets, he stands beside Siobhan.
06:59We threw Andrew under a bus.
07:00Indeed.
07:00I want you to look directly back at them.
07:05Why don't you choose three people who look the least trustworthy?
07:12Come on.
07:14I'm looking at Andrew, and I'm smiling, and I'm saying, hello, look at me, I'm so trustworthy.
07:20Dave volunteered me.
07:22Here come, Dave.
07:24I should have just kept him out shut and stayed quiet.
07:27I just wanted to, like, Homer Simpson drift into the brush behind me and just be invisible.
07:34Fireman John.
07:35A kind of light, bluey-green jumper.
07:39Light, bluey-green jumper?
07:41I'm sorry.
07:42I shouldn't have wore that green jumper, that's what I was thinking.
07:44I shouldn't have wore this green jumper.
07:46I just stood out a little bit too much.
07:49And...
07:50A lady in the black dress with a nice white and black.
07:54Me?
07:55Yes.
07:55Gemma was, I think, collateral damage because she was just so close to me.
08:01I feel he picked two males already, and I feel that he didn't want it to be unfair, and he just, I suppose, zoned in on me.
08:08So, it has been decided that you appear the least trustworthy out of the group.
08:16Yeah?
08:16Yeah.
08:17Sorry, guys.
08:18Thank you, Andrew.
08:19What'll we do with them?
08:21Nothing.
08:21Nothing?
08:22Nothing.
08:22Of course, everybody is biting their fingernails now, being like, what's she gonna ask him to do?
08:27Why don't you pick two out of the three that need to leave the castle immediately?
08:31Oh, I'm joking.
08:33Andrew anxiously rubs his hands.
08:36Um.
08:37Event manager, Faye.
08:39Pick two to dump right now.
08:42Oh!
08:44Siobhan examines her fingernails.
08:46I really should get these files down.
08:49They're getting very sharp.
08:51You just have to try and pre-judge someone without actually talking to them.
08:57Who are the two people you would like to leave the castle immediately?
09:02They could be the most trustworthy people in the world, but I wasn't able to give them a chance.
09:06I'm sorry.
09:07John and Gemma.
09:11Sorry, guys.
09:13Unimpressed, Gemma nods as John stands arms folded with his tongue pressed inside his cheek.
09:19That was a relief.
09:20David Collins isn't going home today, you know.
09:22I'm staying here.
09:23John and Gemma, your fate has been sealed.
09:27I'm so sorry.
09:28It's okay.
09:29It was lovely to have you here, albeit briefly.
09:32And it'll be very sad to see you go, but go you must.
09:35Off you go.
09:36They leave.
09:37The game just starts, and before they even get to set foot inside the castle, they're gone.
09:44Eliminated, John.
09:46It was a hard decision for him.
09:47I might say he didn't feel too good about a rider, to be honest.
09:49Oh, God.
09:51I feel so bad.
09:53I suppose that's just the way the chips fall.
09:55It's the way the cookie crumples, you know.
09:57But it really drove home for me, and I think for everyone else, the flip of a coin, and you're gone.
10:04Why are you still standing here?
10:10Come on.
10:12Into the castle.
10:13Tea and scones.
10:14Welcome, welcome, welcome.
10:16She gestures for the players to enter as crows fly over a castle turret, and two wolfhounds lie on grass.
10:23Inside, a snapshot of grand portraits, shelves lined with books and ornate vases.
10:29Oh, wow.
10:30Look at this, guys.
10:31Cream tea and champagne await as they enter.
10:35Thanks for all me.
10:37The castle is incredible.
10:39It's like nothing I've ever seen before in my life.
10:41No, this is nice.
10:43I could see myself living here.
10:45Diane, 54.
10:46Believe it or not, I'm very at home here, and I wasn't reared in the castle, to be honest.
10:52I hope it'll last.
10:53Oh, it's so bougie.
10:55Oh, my God.
10:57My name's Faye Louise Brennan, and I'm 27 years old, and I work as an event manager.
11:03Oh, we've got a mirror.
11:04Strengths may be that I talk a lot, so I get a lot of information out of people, but my weakness in that as well is I talk a lot.
11:11It's the sisterhood.
11:14Sisterhood.
11:16IT analyst Mark joins a group of women.
11:19My name is Mark, and I'm 38, and I'm from Leash.
11:22After being born deaf, there were challenges with that.
11:25I was at a wedding.
11:27I was kind of just watching the tent in the towel or whatever.
11:29Next thing, the door just opened.
11:32And I was lying there, what the fuck?
11:34And a woman walking with a hobo, like that.
11:37And I was like, um...
11:39I have to get a cochlear implant.
11:40If I were sitting here 18 months ago, I wouldn't be able to hear what you're saying, basically.
11:44She was like, oh, my God, Mark, I'm so sorry.
11:47I love them.
11:49This is nice.
11:50Did you see me?
11:51Yeah.
11:51Model and gamer, Oyan.
11:53We're judging each other.
11:54We're sizing each other up.
11:56I'm definitely sure that they're doing the same thing to me.
11:59Andrew.
12:00I'm feeling so deflated and feeling like I've just been thrust out of my whole strategy of just keeping quiet, laying low.
12:07Do you come in the car with him?
12:09Uh, with David.
12:10Like, obviously, that's the only connection you have, isn't it?
12:12Like, that's your, like...
12:13It sounds like I don't know anyone else.
12:15Were you thinking you were gone?
12:16Uh, I was.
12:17You know, people kind of already...
12:19Not necessarily have their minds a bit about you, but they have an idea of you almost before you even got a chance to have an idea about them.
12:25Sorry, there's so many names.
12:27What's your own name?
12:27Howdy.
12:28What is it?
12:29I remember you because you were singing along.
12:31Excellent.
12:32I got you right.
12:33It's easy to remember now.
12:34That's the problem.
12:35I'm easy to remember now.
12:36I know.
12:36That's the thing.
12:37It puts a target on your back straight away.
12:3925-year-old teacher, Niall.
12:42As Andrew has got devoted at the very beginning as someone who is trustworthy...
12:46Sorry, Andrew.
12:47Niall.
12:48Do you guys need something?
12:49I suppose all legs are on him in the sense of, is that something that we need a question?
12:53Mark, Joe, Michelle, Nicky, Caitlin, Diane, Will, Ben.
13:01David.
13:02He pointed out every name.
13:03We're here an hour and he pointed out all the names.
13:05Amy, Linda and Kelly.
13:07That's me game plan.
13:08Making the effort to know their name.
13:10He could either be dangerous as a faithful to a traitor or very dangerous as a traitor.
13:16Pawdy gives his opinion on David.
13:1822 players have met each other as equals.
13:24But that's all about to change.
13:27It's time to select the traitors.
13:30A woman in leopard print heels and a fluffy cardigan.
13:33Are you here to win the money?
13:3550 grand, yeah.
13:37Yes.
13:37I could do a lot with that.
13:39Everyone's here to win.
13:40Whoever said they're not here to win is lying.
13:42He doesn't want the money.
13:43Everyone needs money.
13:45I'm money motivated.
13:46I'll share it with another thread or the hat there.
13:48But I'd just like to win the game.
13:50Siobhan interviews some players.
13:52I would love to take my mother on a cruise.
13:54She's had a bit of health issues lately.
13:56So it would be nice to do that.
13:59Most of it will go towards a deposit for a house.
14:01My wife and I are looking to buy a house.
14:03Put a deposit down for a house.
14:05Potentially put it towards a house.
14:07They need a house.
14:08Everyone needs a house.
14:09The contestants sit at a round table.
14:12Would you like to be a traitor or a faithful?
14:14I didn't come here to be a faithful.
14:16I came here to be a traitor.
14:17Eamon.
14:17I came here to play the game.
14:19If one do I'm doing the killing, there's, you know, there's less a chance of me being killed, isn't there?
14:23The odds are in my favor.
14:25David.
14:26Would you consider yourself loyal?
14:27Yeah, I'm definitely loyal.
14:29But you'd have no problem stabbing somebody in the back?
14:33Yeah.
14:33I couldn't see myself playing the game any other way.
14:35What's the impression you wanted to give people?
14:39That I won't stab them in the back.
14:42That's the kind of impression I like to give.
14:44So you lied to them?
14:46100%.
14:46Paudie grins.
14:49Siobhan enters in a long robe.
14:51Welcome to the round table.
14:54It is here in this sacred space that the faithful will face off against the traitors.
15:00David licks his lips as the players eye each other.
15:03We're trusting people, aren't we?
15:06How often have you described somebody as being harmless?
15:12Such a favorable Irish trait, isn't it?
15:16Well, soon I will choose my traitors, and they will have the ability to do you an awful lot of harm.
15:28It's time.
15:29Players, put on your blindfolds.
15:33Picking up the blindfolds in front of them, they do as she says.
15:36If I touch you on the shoulder, that means that you are a traitor.
15:42Blindfolded, they sit quietly.
15:48Let's begin.
15:50Siobhan circles the players.
15:52David.
15:53I could hear Siobhan walking around the room.
15:56Please pick me.
15:57Please pick me.
15:58Please pick me.
16:00The Traitors.
16:02End of part one.
16:06Hashtag Traitors IRL.
16:08The players sit blindfolded.
16:09If I touch you on the shoulder, that means that you are a traitor.
16:18A close view of two blindfolded players.
16:21Let's begin.
16:23One player has long sunflower earrings and curled hair.
16:27Moving slowly around, Siobhan pauses by Diane and Damon and moves on.
16:33Radio presenter Diane.
16:34It's very intense.
16:36Everything is in darkness.
16:37All you can hear is, like, as she passes, like a breeze.
16:45Siobhan moves by Poddy.
16:48Eamon takes a deep breath.
16:52David.
16:53I could hear Siobhan walking around the room.
16:56Please pick me.
16:57Please pick me.
16:58Please pick me.
16:58She hovers her hand over David's shoulder, but quickly snatches it back and moves on.
17:06Siobhan was walking up close to me.
17:09Eamon smiles as she chooses him.
17:11I got the touch and I was delighted.
17:14I knew then that the game was starting there and then.
17:16I knew then I could hear.
17:17I knew then.
17:18Siobhan moves on, pausing and placing a finger to her face as she thinks.
17:26Oh my God, it's a never-ending walk.
17:28At this waiting, it's all no good.
17:31I've got the tap on the shoulder.
17:42I am absolutely buzzing.
17:47The game has completely changed.
17:48Seated with bleached chin-length hair, model and gamer Eamon, Siobhan puts her hands in
17:56the air, waving her fingers in readiness.
17:59She places her hand on Poddy.
18:01The moment Siobhan tapped me, I just said to myself, do not move.
18:04No reaction.
18:06Sometimes they say, be careful for what you wish for, but I'm happy.
18:11In her long robe, Siobhan spins with a flourish.
18:14I have chosen my traitors.
18:16Her voice startles Michelle.
18:18The rest of you will be known as my faithful.
18:21She stands overlooking the players.
18:23The course of the game has been set.
18:26The traitors are Caitlin, Eamon and Poddy.
18:29You may remove your blindfolds.
18:33Caitlin removes hers.
18:35Beside Andrew, Michelle squints as the players readjust to the room.
18:40Mark wears a serious expression under a furrowed brow, and Poddy takes a sip of water from a
18:45crystal glass and folds his arms.
18:48You're no doubt wondering who is who.
18:50You're no doubt wondering who is who.
18:51For the traitors among us, your job is relatively simple.
18:56Caitlin glances around.
18:58Murder the faithful.
19:00Eamon is sombre.
19:01And evade detection.
19:03On the other hand, for the faithful, in your turn, you must track down the traitors and banish
19:11them from the game.
19:12And remember, at the end of the game, if there are any traitors left, they win all the money.
19:28Traitors, you will identify yourselves to each other later on when you gather to commit your first murder.
19:40And now I have one final important question to ask you.
19:47Would you like a cup of tea?
19:51Ah, you would.
19:53You would.
19:53You would.
19:54Enjoy it.
19:55You deserve it.
19:56Well done.
19:57Eamon takes a sip of water.
20:00Taking the blindfold off, trying to gauge everyone else.
20:04It's just weird because, like, we're all, everyone was having, like, now you, now you don't know who you're talking to.
20:09Caitlin.
20:11I was trying to keep the smirk off my face.
20:13I did have a little smirk, but I, I schooled it back down fairly quickly.
20:17How are you at reading people, Paddy?
20:20You know, I don't know.
20:22You think, you think you know.
20:23I've already had discussions with Nina and Faye about who we were sussing out and who we thought looked a bit dodgy.
20:29You know, people took their blindfolds off.
20:31Yeah, they don't look to the floor.
20:33Did she?
20:34She didn't look around at anybody.
20:36Well, we're at it.
20:37Vanessa, as well, just looked straight ahead.
20:38Really?
20:40But that's not to say Nina and Faye aren't traitors either and they're just playing me.
20:45I wonder how many there are.
20:47That's what I want to know.
20:49I could do with that cup of tea.
20:51The players exit the room.
20:54With the game in play, the search for the traitors has well and truly begun.
21:00As has the quest for the cup of tea.
21:02I want a cup of tea.
21:03I need a cappuccino.
21:05Hello.
21:06Faye and Christine hug and chat with David.
21:08Oh, lads, I've never felt so sick in my life.
21:11Oh, God.
21:11It's quite confusing.
21:13Your brain would be afraid.
21:14You're instantly paranoid.
21:15You're instantly thinking it's this person, it's that person.
21:17You're trying not to overthink it.
21:19Well, Paulie, how are you?
21:20All good?
21:21How are you?
21:22You know, people are automatically joking.
21:24Oh, she's sorry.
21:25There's somebody else on my radar as well.
21:26Are you straiters?
21:28No.
21:28Yeah, of course we are.
21:29What are you doing?
21:32Stepping back straight away.
21:34Everybody has their detective hats on.
21:37Except for the traitors, obviously.
21:38They don't need to do any detecting.
21:42If that's awards.
21:43When I took off my blindfold, my eyes had been watering.
21:46So my mascara was all down here.
21:48I think coming out of the round table,
21:52I had the benefit that everyone was a little bit shook.
21:54There was someone that I was talking to and I'm not going to say it,
21:57but they were like, oh, someone went straight for their water afterwards.
21:59And I was like, oh, I went straight for my water.
22:01I went for my water.
22:02I just acted like myself, which I'm kind of shocked at myself
22:07how easy it has come to be very genuine.
22:09Hey, how are we doing?
22:11That was intense.
22:12What the actual?
22:13That was really scary.
22:14Eamon.
22:15Nick came up behind me and he touched me on my shoulder
22:19the very same way that Siobhan would have touched me on my shoulder.
22:23Well Eamon, did you enjoy that?
22:25Not too bad, not too bad.
22:26How did you think?
22:27Good.
22:27Yeah, good.
22:28Not bad.
22:28It did unnerve me actually a small bit.
22:32The, do you know when the light, when the blindfolds came off?
22:36Oh my god, I was blinded.
22:37Blinded right now, yeah, yeah.
22:39From my perspective, geez, this guy's bringing crack.
22:42He was cracking the jokes.
22:43Just didn't get that impression after the round table.
22:46No suspicions anyway.
22:47No, but sure, I don't know, like, how could you like it?
22:50Yeah.
22:50Do you know what I mean?
22:51And you, do you, do you see anything on that?
22:53No.
22:54No.
22:54Really?
22:55No.
22:56There's a slight shift, so just something I'm honouring.
23:00Everyone's getting to know each other.
23:01It's all a bit of crack and now it's changed, like.
23:03Do you know what I mean?
23:04Now you're all looking at each other being like,
23:05you're a liar.
23:07It's exactly right.
23:09Estate agent Nick, 30, stands beside an unnerved Eamon.
23:14Diane.
23:15We're all floating around at the moment.
23:17We're all actually kind of finding our own feet.
23:19Where are you from, Andrew?
23:20I'm from Cork.
23:21Oh, you're Cork.
23:22Yeah.
23:22Oh, yeah.
23:24He's from Libraig.
23:25Is he?
23:25I'm from Galway.
23:26You're from Galway?
23:27Yeah, I'm actually from the Iron Islands.
23:29It's really important to set up a foundation in terms of, like,
23:34a social group that I can rely on, that I can bounce ideas off.
23:39Do you still have any theories or guesses yet?
23:41It's so hard to know.
23:42Yeah, a couple.
23:43Really?
23:43Such a suspicious person.
23:45You dare to share?
23:46Nina has been really, really perceptive,
23:48so much so that I even think she's, like, watching me,
23:50that she has her eyes on everyone.
23:52When everybody was taking their blindfold off,
23:54and everyone's looking around, Diane looked at the floor
23:57for a good minute.
23:58Okay.
23:59I think I'll play a faithful very well.
24:01I'm quite a suspicious and nosy person by nature,
24:04so I think I'm going to enjoy picking out
24:08who I think is a suspicious character and picking them off.
24:12Sorry, what job did you say you were in?
24:13What was a casino dealer?
24:15As a casino dealer in Las Vegas,
24:17I investigated and snooped out many scams over the years,
24:21but also it became, I think, a good read of people.
24:25He'd make a very good liar and therefore maybe a very good traitor,
24:28so he's instantly on my radar.
24:29Oh, Michelle.
24:31Oh!
24:32Michelle's, like, my mummy in here.
24:35My wami, I'll call her.
24:36So, well.
24:37What do you mean?
24:38I'm waiting for everything about tea.
24:39I think I've just immediately bonded with Michelle,
24:41so I have.
24:42You're a junior.
24:43You're a junior.
24:43We're done.
24:44Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we know.
24:45I'm married to my husband, Dwayne.
24:47He's my rock.
24:48I have three children.
24:50I wanted to be a world champion gymnast,
24:52but unfortunately I grew too tall for the sport,
24:54so I took to kickboxing,
24:56and I have 19 world titles in that.
24:59I'm just very competitive.
25:01For me, it's all about the win,
25:02not necessarily the money,
25:03but it's all about the win.
25:05It's so hard to tell who the other trailers are.
25:08I know that Michelle has said that she really wanted to be a trailer
25:11and seemingly is not.
25:14I wanted to be a trailer.
25:15Oh, did you, yeah?
25:16Yeah.
25:16Did you?
25:17Yeah, I was disgusted.
25:18I wasn't like...
25:19Why?
25:20I don't know.
25:20I think I could have pulled it off.
25:21Is that why your shoulder was up when they took my blood?
25:23Yeah.
25:25What's up there?
25:26Come on.
25:27To be a trailer.
25:27I was like, oh, I wanted to be.
25:29No, I couldn't do it.
25:30Could you not?
25:30No, no way.
25:32I wouldn't be surprised if that's a bit of a cover story,
25:34so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Michelle.
25:36I'm suspicious of everybody.
25:39Everybody's making such an effort to let us know
25:42that they are not a traitor.
25:45So, Paul, do you think...?
25:46It is a guessing game at the moment, like...
25:48Yeah.
25:48Obviously, at the paper,
25:49they're looking for people to slip up,
25:51so you have to be on the ball all day, every day, basically.
25:57It's you, Paul, isn't it?
25:58What?
25:58It's you, Paul.
25:59All day long.
26:00All day long.
26:01It is me and only me.
26:02I'm just hoping that people will trust me
26:07and won't think that I may be holding a hooded cape.
26:14At the mission, the players will work together
26:17to win money for the prize fund.
26:19And with the first murder tonight,
26:22everybody will be out to prove their worth.
26:25Absolutely buzzing for the first mission.
26:28David gets into a car with others.
26:30Let's get the moolah. Let's get the moolah.
26:32Let's get the money.
26:33The major part of this is about the money,
26:35so let's get to work and start building that pot.
26:38Former casino manager Patrick.
26:40What do you do, Paul?
26:41State Asian.
26:42State Asian.
26:42What do you do?
26:43I'm in the Army.
26:44I'm in the Irish Defence Forces,
26:45and then we also have that thought, like,
26:47that, well, he does a lot of training.
26:50Ben.
26:50He's been in sticky situations, like,
26:52will they just say, ah, well, if I'm not a traitor,
26:55say, just get rid of him and make it easier.
26:57So, yeah, we'll just have to wait and see.
27:00We land at a distillery today.
27:02I'm hoping that we're getting a drink or two,
27:05but that is not what is in store.
27:07Once again, it's just every time we see her,
27:10the nerves just kick in.
27:11Siobhan wears a neck ruff over her cardigan.
27:13Welcome to my distillery.
27:16Why are we here?
27:18Well, you see, traitors and alcohol have something in common.
27:24They both can leave quite an aftertaste.
27:28And during your mission,
27:30traders and faithful have something in common.
27:35They have a common objective,
27:37a common desire to win as much cash as possible.
27:42So, during this time, you will work side by side
27:46to add money to the prize pot, which at the moment stands at the grand total of
27:53zero euro and zero cent, but hopefully not for long.
27:58For down in the forest, there are 24 barrels,
28:04each worth a different cash sum, totaling a grand and delicious number of 6,000 euro.
28:16Your mission is simply to find the barrels, roll them and deliver them to me.
28:25This mission is all about teamwork.
28:27Oh, and a reminder.
28:30Tonight, the traitors will meet for the first time
28:35to brew someone's final demise.
28:40By breakfast, someone's head will have rolled,
28:43something to think about as you're rolling the barrel.
28:46Okay, then.
28:48Standing on cobbled ground, surrounded by flaming barrels and torches,
28:52she speaks through a megaphone.
28:54You have 30 minutes, and your time starts now.
29:00All right, live. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
29:0230 minutes, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
29:04We take off at speed.
29:08Every man, woman and child for himself,
29:09like they're getting chased like zombies.
29:11Oh, sorry. Which way?
29:14They run from the distillery.
29:16Guys, where's Yara?
29:17This side, this side, this side.
29:18I've had my two hips replaced, so running wouldn't be my thing.
29:23Poddy is last behind the pack, jogging.
29:26Niall.
29:27It's so funny what six grand can do to people.
29:30Everybody is baiting to get down to the river, so they are.
29:33This is really far.
29:35Guys, are we going the right way?
29:37How are we going to get this all the way back?
29:39This is a joke.
29:40Model and gamer, Oyen.
29:42I realise the barrel's actually quite a bit up the road.
29:46Oh, I see the barrel's there.
29:47Ben, 33, splashes through a river to get to the labelled barrels.
29:54Turn them all down and down.
29:56We roll a five.
29:57It's a five over here.
29:58OK.
29:58Ben, I think from his military background,
30:01just took on a very much a go, go, go.
30:03Go, just get all these over.
30:04Yeah.
30:05They roll down barrels as others run along a forest path.
30:09I think we start to do fast.
30:12Got all the barrels up to the river crossing.
30:15Everyone else is coming down and everyone else is digging in.
30:19Why does it stink?
30:21What's the plan?
30:21I have to do the plan.
30:22Some people stay higher up so we can pass it, yeah.
30:23Stay, that's how you spread out along the line.
30:25We're going to pass them up.
30:27OK.
30:28Go, what can I do?
30:29A barrel rolls away from Faye, nearly hitting Mark.
30:32Don't kill me.
30:33Yeah, just land, all right?
30:35Former casino manager Patrick.
30:36It's easy to run downhill, but it's much, much more difficult to push a barrel uphill.
30:43I can't get it.
30:44Mark was just hefting barrels up the hill, no problem, and just kind of looking at him in awe.
30:50I think so when you're faithful, like, you know, I think you need to show that you're useful to the trails to get some money.
30:54OK, keep going with that now as far as we can.
30:56We'll follow you up in a minute.
30:57Mark definitely stood out.
30:59Look, all the 500s are gone, are there?
31:01No, one more.
31:02Boy, we'll get that one as well, lads.
31:03Come on.
31:04Players push barrels uphill.
31:06This is a hard challenge.
31:07Come on, man.
31:11What's taking them so long?
31:12Nina.
31:13They were awkward.
31:15This is like that fucking tamper run.
31:17They were dirty.
31:19Ew.
31:20Yeah, it's full of shite.
31:21It is.
31:21Yeah, well.
31:22It's fresh.
31:23Yo, don't worry about it.
31:24They were rolling all over the place.
31:26There was no control of them.
31:27Sorry.
31:28You're all right?
31:29Tell you what.
31:30Let us go for it, all right?
31:31All right, go.
31:32This is the 500.
31:33Dave definitely standing out as the leader.
31:35Vanessa, 28.
31:37You've been in a serious shift at the mission now.
31:39I have to say, like...
31:41David is first back, rolling a barrel.
31:43Wonderful.
31:44Well done.
31:45Look at you.
31:46You're the first one here.
31:47No, not that way.
31:48Straight through.
31:48Straight through.
31:49Are you going to take a rest now?
31:50Are you going to help the others?
31:52She salutes him as he runs back to help.
31:54That's barrel one of 24.
31:56I feel I led the challenge.
31:58Watch, watch, watch, watch.
31:59Watch, I'll show you.
32:01So as it runs off on you, all right, it's running off that way.
32:03So just give it a tap there.
32:04Look, somebody needs to take control.
32:07David instructs three others.
32:09Bearded with glasses, soldier Ben.
32:11There's no one that's, like, slacking around like that.
32:13Everyone's giving 100%.
32:14I need two seconds back, sorry.
32:16Oh, fuck.
32:17My arms are burning.
32:18My chest is burning.
32:19My haunches are burning.
32:20Everything is burning.
32:21Andrew.
32:22Go, Barrel, go.
32:24I feel like they're giving birth.
32:26Michelle rolls a barrel in.
32:27Well done.
32:28Oh, mind.
32:30Someone trips.
32:31Be safe.
32:32Well done.
32:33We're an unbelievable team.
32:35Teamwork like you've never seen it.
32:36For people that don't know each other.
32:38Try and pick that up if you can.
32:39Watch out.
32:42Come on, think of the money.
32:43Stop it there, sir.
32:43Think of that lovely money.
32:46Well done.
32:47Seven barrels are back.
32:48Yeah, she heard that.
32:49Come on.
32:50I wouldn't say anyone stood out particularly.
32:53Ben was exceptional.
32:54Ben was full in.
32:56Ben really stood out.
32:57I was honestly flabbergasted at how quickly he was booting the barrels up the hill.
33:02I thought I did a fine effort.
33:06Patrick rolls a barrel very slowly along a path.
33:09And takes a breather as Ben and the others get stuck in.
33:15Eleven barrels returned.
33:16Yeah, keep going.
33:19Well, hello.
33:19Lovely to see you.
33:21Thanks for joining us.
33:22Barrel 12 is delivered.
33:24Caitlin.
33:25There was a bit of Chinese whispers with the time that we had left.
33:30I'm worried for time.
33:31Some people are shouting five minutes.
33:34Guys, six minutes!
33:37Ten, ten!
33:38Seven minutes left.
33:41The key thing was, if one person didn't make it back across that finish line of time,
33:45we'd lose the whole lot.
33:46Leave the barrels!
33:48Leave the fire!
33:49Leave the barrels!
33:50These ones can go!
33:50Leave the barrels!
33:51Leave the barrels!
33:52They abandoned the remaining barrels to get back to the distillery.
33:55Will!
33:57Get down, get down, Will, get down!
33:59Get down!
34:02Faye and David decide to roll a couple more back.
34:05Show me the money, Jenny McGuire!
34:08Come on, put your back into it!
34:09Come on!
34:10You have 15 minutes left!
34:13Not six!
34:14Jesus!
34:15He said six minutes!
34:1615 minutes!
34:17I'm going to get out another one!
34:18Who the fuck said five?
34:20What the fuck?
34:21They now have 14 barrels.
34:24My God, the man of the hour is back again!
34:27Oh, fuck!
34:27Excuse me, Langley, sorry!
34:29Wrecked, David sits on the cobbles.
34:33Four more in the water, but we want to have time.
34:35We have 15 minutes!
34:3610 minutes now!
34:3710 minutes now!
34:38The easiest 200 euro you ever heard!
34:41Can he do it?
34:42Are you going to go back?
34:44No, we're not going there, are we?
34:45Not going to make it, it's going to take 15 minutes.
34:47Let's go back.
34:48They have 18 barrels.
34:50Nine minutes left.
34:51Now here, Nick is gone!
34:52He was running back down, the old thinking about getting another barrel and all that.
34:58Someone keep track of the time!
35:01Is there anyone left?
35:01No, Nick, Nick, Nick!
35:03Are we sure that everyone's back is going to say?
35:04No, I don't think so.
35:05Are you, um, Eamon?
35:06Oh, look, look!
35:07Eamon.
35:08What's your...
35:09Eamon?
35:09Eamon was in the courtyard.
35:11I'm going to get him back, he's still down there!
35:13We're getting Eamon.
35:13Eamon's here!
35:14Eamon's here!
35:15Eamon's here!
35:15Eamon's here!
35:16Who the fuck?
35:17Nick sprints back.
35:19I'm running for high time!
35:21They run into the court chart.
35:2319, 20, 21, 22.
35:24Yeah, everyone.
35:25Let's go in, everyone in, let's go!
35:26Everyone in, everyone in, everyone in!
35:29Event manager, Faye.
35:31Everyone was on such a high.
35:33I think the outcome was incredible.
35:36Long nails for this was not an idea.
35:38Not an idea at all.
35:39We've got 200-dollar reach if we all kind of quick now.
35:41Yeah, that's all.
35:42Yeah, all good.
35:43I think it did really bring the group together and it was great to be able to work as a team.
35:47David claps potty on the back.
35:49Even though we're not really a full team, if you think about the trailers versus the faithfuls.
35:56Traitor Caitlin smirks.
35:59Well, congratulations.
36:02You left six barrels by the river, totaling 1,200.
36:10What happened to that?
36:11It wasn't worth the risk.
36:12We had to, you know, assess it.
36:131,200 or four and a half grams.
36:15Yeah.
36:16Brilliantly put.
36:18Congratulations.
36:194,800 in the pot.
36:22Well done.
36:25That is absolutely magnificent.
36:28Frankly, I underestimated you all.
36:31But you know what this means.
36:32I'm going to have to go back and rethink future missions.
36:37Back to the castle and enjoy yourselves.
36:41I'll put on a few drinks.
36:44Not that many drinks.
36:46This will be the last time that you'll be together as a full complement.
36:53Have a think of that.
36:54But marvellous work you've just completed.
36:56Well done.
36:56Go away.
36:57She shoos them away as they clap themselves and hug.
37:04On the journey back to the castle, Nick questions some others.
37:07Has anyone got any suspicions this early?
37:11I think the personality that I'm seeing early doors that I think would be a traitor is Dave.
37:17He's talking to everybody before anything's happened.
37:19He knows everybody's names.
37:21That's the type of personality that I think would want to be a traitor.
37:23The other one I think is Audrey.
37:27At the very start when he takes the blindfold on.
37:29Yeah.
37:29He looked straight down and just took a drink of both.
37:31Yeah.
37:31And then everybody else was like oh you know doing the whole thing like you know.
37:35And he didn't do that and he was like alright.
37:38Eamon is a lovely guy right.
37:40And he was very bubbly.
37:41I'm just.
37:41I just want to say I said that to her.
37:42He said that to her.
37:43He was just joking on me loads.
37:45And I've just like looked at him today for kind of that reassuring conversation with somebody.
37:49And it just hasn't been there.
37:51I wasn't the only one to see that.
37:53And it's just something that we could keep in mind.
37:56In darkness torch flames are lit.
38:00We're back in the environment where we have to be so suspicious of each other.
38:06I need you to take the traitor's oath.
38:09I can't wait to put on the cloak.
38:10Maybe you're the traitor's.
38:12You know murder someone.
38:14The traitor's end of part two.
38:16Hashtag traitors IRL.
38:22After the highs of the mission the players return to the castle where soon their attention will turn to identifying a traitor.
38:29But another quest is quickly realised.
38:31I need to wash my hands.
38:33There's tea!
38:33No way!
38:34No way!
38:35No way!
38:35No way!
38:36No way!
38:37Faithful Ben 33, Irish Defence Forces.
38:40The atmosphere in the castle is amazing.
38:42Cheers!
38:42Cheers!
38:43Cheers!
38:43Everyone's buzzing that we've got that amount of money in.
38:46All right, big ones!
38:47Yeah!
38:48They toast with cups of tea.
38:50A lot of people are coming over to me and saying, like, fair play, well done.
38:53Anybody seen that one guy carrying a 500 by himself, wouldn't pass everybody?
38:58That was Ben.
38:59So then it kind of clicks in your head, right?
39:01Well, this might buy me a bit of time.
39:02Like, if it's a 50-50 split between me and someone else, that's an extra thing I have in my arsenal that
39:07they can say, well, he's better at the missions, right? We'll keep him in.
39:13From behind a plant, eyes look out from a portrait.
39:16Modeling gamer Oyan.
39:18Even though that team spirit after the mission was so high and everybody felt amazing.
39:25Other portraits seem to follow Andrew as he walks along a hallway.
39:29We're back in the environment where we have to be so suspicious of each other.
39:36You're now relaxed and you're like, right, who do I trust? But that's the thing.
39:39It's the question of, how do you know who you trust?
39:42In an empty sitting room, Pawdy embraces Andrew.
39:46Well done.
39:50Some decision you're to make.
39:51Oh, I had some decision.
39:53I saw you first. I was totally shell-shocked.
39:57I got to speak to my son Andrew for the first time since we came into the castle.
40:04A flashback to arrivals.
40:05The first thing I was going to do was just have a look down along the line to see who was there.
40:10I look over, I see.
40:12Pawdy grins slyly.
40:13My dad, I actually did a double take.
40:16Almost had to verify that it was him when I saw him.
40:18I could just see Andrew in the corner of my eye.
40:22It's a shock I got.
40:24The reason none of the two of us knew we were here is because we're both big liars.
40:28That's why.
40:29And we just, we just didn't tell each other.
40:32Faye to Andrew.
40:33This is so intense.
40:34This isn't it, yeah.
40:36Taking it all in.
40:37Sorry, there's so many names.
40:39What's your own name?
40:40Howdy.
40:40How was his name?
40:41I'm from Limerick originally.
40:43I'm living in Cork, but I'm not from Cork, like I've been telling everyone.
40:46Where are you from, Andrew?
40:47I'm from Cork.
40:48Oh, you're Cork.
40:49Oh, yeah.
40:51He's from Limerick.
40:52Is he?
40:52I'm from Galway.
40:53Is it possible that people might say, geez, they look alike, but I don't think we do,
40:58so I think we might get away with it.
40:59Are you hearing my name?
41:01No.
41:01Everyone has mentioned my name.
41:03That's my mom.
41:04Yeah.
41:04So.
41:05Look at what men do.
41:07I told him you look like a man from Up.
41:10Thanks, I'll take it.
41:12I suppose I was so excited to have seen him, I didn't actually think to ask,
41:17are you a faithful or a traitor?
41:20Either side of the fireplace, two huge stone male busts stare silently as father and son exit.
41:27Right, there, in the middle, break down, Sam.
41:31Ben does a dance for the others.
41:33You're next now, you're next.
41:34Oh, my knees are sore looking at her.
41:36Faye.
41:37Now that the day is coming to an end, I'm starting to get this really anxious feeling
41:43of knowing that I might not be here tomorrow.
41:46Now we'll just have to worry about it.
41:47Oh, yeah, it's the look of the dog.
41:49Should we talk though?
41:50Kind of is.
41:50If I'm going to be murdered tonight.
41:53Eamonn laughs with Ian, David.
41:55I like to think I'm a popular guy already, so will the traitors get rid of me straight away?
42:00Am I going to be the first one now? I'm very fearful of that.
42:04A grandfather clock strikes midnight.
42:06After a grueling first day at the traitor's castle,
42:14the clocks have chimed and the murdering hour is upon us.
42:17Bye, Diane.
42:18I hope I see you tomorrow.
42:19We'll see you tomorrow.
42:20Diane exits down the steps of the illuminated castle and is driven away.
42:24Well, if I get killed tonight, my two thousand, it's probably not much was.
42:30Let the games begin.
42:32Come on, Diane and Vanessa.
42:34I agree with Diane a few times.
42:36I agree with Diane.
42:38The players have returned to their individual lodgings
42:41where they will have no contact with each other.
42:45The traitors, on the other hand, will return here to discover each other's identity
42:50and discuss one teeny tiny matter.
42:53Who, out of the faithful, will they murder first?
42:58Siobhan wears a heavy hooded cloak as flames dance in barrels around her at the castle.
43:05A sliver of a crescent moon hangs in a dark night sky.
43:10One by one, traitors Eamon, Catelyn and Pawdy stand in front of Siobhan.
43:15I need you to take the traitor's oath.
43:18Do you commit to lie and deceive throughout the game?
43:23I do.
43:24Are you willing to murder your fellow players every single night?
43:30I am.
43:31Do you promise to keep your identity and the identity of your fellow traitors a secret?
43:37I do.
43:38And congratulations, you are now a traitor.
43:42Here's your cloak.
43:44You will now join your fellow traitors and decide a name of the faithful you wish to murder.
43:51Have fun.
43:53Yeah?
43:53I'm looking forward to it.
43:54Enjoy yourself.
43:55I will.
43:55It's been great fun.
43:58Be gone.
44:02Carrying his cloak, Eamon walks away.
44:04At night, a wooden torch bursts into flame and hooded figures carry lanterns.
44:12I can't wait to put on the cloak.
44:14Make the other traitors, you know, murder someone.
44:18The figures enter a stone cellar.
44:20I can't wait to find out who's in the conclave with me.
44:25In the lantern lit cellar, two hooded figures stand at a wooden barrel.
44:30Eamon is first to remove his hood, then Caitlyn.
44:35She puts her hands to her face.
44:37I am so shocked.
44:40I'm delighted it's Caitlyn.
44:41She's a dark little horse, that one.
44:43She is a dark horse.
44:45I haven't come up.
44:46You did come up once?
44:47With?
44:48Nick.
44:50He came up behind me and touched me on the shoulder.
44:52He did rattle me because I wasn't expecting it.
44:55Thrilled to see Eamon in there.
44:57I think we're going to make a fantastic team.
44:59A lantern is carried through a dark hallway.
45:02Have I come up?
45:03Not at all.
45:04Like, you are just under the radar.
45:09Hearing a knock on the door, they put their hoods back up.
45:15All three hooded figures stand around the barrel with their heads lowered.
45:20Revealing themselves, they laugh seeing Pawdy.
45:22Yes!
45:28Well, I wasn't expecting you to come through the door now.
45:30I didn't expect myself, to be honest.
45:32When I unveiled and I saw Eamon and Caitlyn, I was delighted because I think we will make a pretty good team.
45:40This is a good crew.
45:41I feel like this is a really good crew.
45:43You're not expecting them to be a traitor.
45:45Do you expect any of us?
45:46No.
45:47Okay.
45:48No.
45:48Diane's name was mentioned a lot.
45:52Why are you hearing about Diane?
45:54There was too much to her and she'll know her name tonight.
45:56Yeah, we don't have to walk away.
45:56So there's someone that we don't need to go near?
45:59No.
