00:00Picture this.
00:05This guy invites you to a quiet dinner at his home.
00:07The candles are lit.
00:08You're drinking a $10,000 bottle of Bordeaux.
00:11Yeah, he's set the price because he's a billionaire.
00:14Like, owns a private island rich.
00:17When, out of nowhere, he freaks out
00:19and pulls you into this creepy apocalyptic dungeon.
00:24I, uh, I thought you were neutralizing this.
00:26Oh, the post has already been wiped from social media.
00:29The problem is, you haven't told me everything.
00:32I have, and that's a fallacy
00:35because nothing is ever totally wiped from the internet.
00:38Fortunately, it's not a me-too situation,
00:41and she's a nobody with fewer than 10,000 followers.
00:45Besides that, she doesn't name you specifically.
00:47Okay, any Neanderthal with a keyboard is gonna figure it out.
00:50And you know what? They're gonna try.
00:52Because my company has a 20% share
00:55in the digital wallet business, all right?
00:57It's $1.2 trillion in revenue,
00:59and I promise that I get it to 30% within two years.
01:01So the board cannot find out about this, okay?
01:05That's why we're creating a counter-narrative here.
01:07But in order to do that effectively,
01:09you gotta tell me exactly what happened.
01:11My God, I already have told you exactly what happened.
01:15I saved that woman from an attempted break-in.
01:18An actual break-in.
01:20Yes!
01:21The mayoral election is going on
01:22and the crazies are coming out of the woodwork,
01:24and they are hell-bent on making us feel guilty
01:27about generating wealth and creating entire industries.
01:30Right, right, okay.
01:31So you're having dinner,
01:32and suddenly there's crazies at the door,
01:35you know, boom, boom, boom.
01:36And you take Emily where?
01:39The safe room.
01:40Which she called the apocalyptic dungeon.
01:42God.
01:43God, this girl is drama.
01:45Come here, I'm gonna show you.
01:59Come on.
02:01I see, it's like a bomb shelter or a nuclear bunker kind of thing.
02:16No, no.
02:17My bunker's in New Zealand.
02:18This is a riot retreat for social unrest.
02:21I mean, given the current eat-the-rich zeitgeist,
02:24I need to take precautions.
02:26Starting to see why you let the rest of the staff go.
02:29Well, it's nothing AI can't do better.
02:31An AI won't turn on me as fast.
02:33Right.
02:34Okay.
02:35So, you pull Emily in here, you lock the doors,
02:39and you take cover for a couple of minutes?
02:42Hmm.
02:43Four hours.
02:45Did she appear to be afraid at any point?
02:48Afraid? Here?
02:51This place was designed to obliterate intruders.
02:55I showed her everything.
02:56I showed her my remote-controlled drones that shoot bullets.
02:59I showed her my smoke screen launchers,
03:01the molecular friction apparatus that generates enough heat
03:03to microwave a human body.
03:05It can microwave people?
03:08Yeah.
03:09That's a little diabolical, don't you think?
03:13Diabolical?
03:15No, no, no.
03:16I mean, it's clearly a genius idea.
03:20Oh.
03:21No.
03:23No, I've seen that look.
03:26Daddy taught me that's the look of a traitor.
03:30And this isn't the ketamine talking, Anders.
03:32Greg, just hold on a minute.
03:34No, no, no.
03:35You didn't come here to defend me against that nut job, did you?
03:37You came here to take information back to the board.
03:40Oh.
03:41Craig.
03:42No, no, no.
03:43Don't pretend.
03:44I know things about you.
03:46I know that you're leaving crisis management.
03:48Craig, I may have mentioned the possibility of making a pivot.
03:52You know, destroying people's reputations takes a lot out of a person.
03:56The pressure's a lot.
03:57You understand.
03:58Your ex says that you're isolating in here more and more.
04:01You talked to Kelly about me?
04:04I'm just saying I'm concerned.
04:06Oh, you're so concerned that you're gonna have me ousted from the company that I built?
04:10You are supposed to be defending me!
04:13Craig, I am defending you.
04:15I'm defending you against that woman, against a former intern, your family.
04:20I cannot believe.
04:21I did not see this before.
04:23This is...
04:25I gotta think about this.
04:26I gotta take some time.
04:27You know what?
04:28We can discuss this at another time!
04:30Craig!
04:33Craig?
04:35Craig, what are you doing?
04:37Craig?
04:41Ow.
04:45Are you trying to microwave me?
04:48Craig, you can't.
04:51It's getting really hot.
04:54Let me out of here!
05:00Craig.
05:01Craig.
05:02You have to open the door.
05:03Craig, you can't do this.
05:04Craig?
05:08What?
05:09Listen, Craig.
05:10Come on.
05:11If you let me out of here now, there's no story.
05:13I'll act as if nothing ever happened.
05:15But if you try to hurt me, that's gonna be a lot harder to spin.
05:18Oh, man.
05:19I should have tested it on the rapid.
05:20Are you crying?
05:21Are you crying?
05:31What is my mother's birthday?
05:32God!
05:33What?
05:34Oh, my God.
05:35How do you work this damn drone?
05:36Come on!
05:37You know what?
05:39I've got some minor burns, but if you let me out now, I won't go to see a doctor. I will take care of it quietly. I know how to do that. All you have to do is open the door.
06:07Open the door.
06:37Good morning, Elbeth Tassioni.
06:48Oh, Alec, what are you doing here?
06:51Does the campaign trail run through the precinct?
06:54I was in the neighborhood.
06:55Also, I'm going to a fundraiser for the renovation of the city law library tonight,
06:59and I wanted to ask you to go with me.
07:01Me, as in the mysterious redhead recently seen with Alec Bloom?
07:07You believe in law and libraries, right?
07:10I'm just not sure I'm comfortable being gossip fodder.
07:13The press won't be there.
07:15Come on.
07:17It's not that simple.
07:19Why? Did Marissa say something to you?
07:22Marissa says a lot of things.
07:24Yes, she does, but you and I are consenting adults
07:28and can go somewhere together without having to ask permission from anyone.
07:33So this wasn't her idea?
07:37I'm asking you because I genuinely enjoy your company.
07:42But if you don't want to be seen with me ever again, I'll respect that.
07:46I won't like it, but I'll respect it.
07:51Oh, you are really laying on the charm, aren't you?
07:54Is it working?
07:55Yes.
07:56Good.
07:58Marissa will text the details.
08:00We'll have fun.
08:01Okay.
08:03Like I've mentioned before, the neighbor said the dog was barking all night long.
08:07Dog?
08:07Oh, shoot.
08:10Well, we'll send it over to Animal Control.
08:13Animal Control?
08:13What kind of dog is it?
08:15Sounded like a poodle if I had to guess.
08:18The bark was a little yippy, like a small dog trying to sound big.
08:21Yeah, some poodles do that.
08:22And some people.
08:23This is Stu.
08:26He's a, what is it again?
08:28Oh, I'm a skip tracer.
08:29That's an insider term for process server.
08:30Oh, I guess there's an insider term for everything.
08:33I've got a 100% success rate, and I can't find this guy, Anders Whitman, anywhere.
08:37I've stayed at his office, his home.
08:39Stu thinks he's missing.
08:40Maybe he's intentionally dodging you.
08:42I told him the same thing.
08:43I would have thought so, too, if it wasn't for that dog.
08:46The neighbor says that dog never barks.
08:47I'm telling you, something's not right.
08:51Fine.
08:51We'll send an officer out to check on the dog.
08:54But a barking dog doesn't warrant a missing persons investigation.
08:57We thought you might say that, which is why we did a little research.
09:01What if we told you that this Anders Whitman is a fixer at the Meridian Group?
09:06Crisis management firm?
09:08Those people are worse than lawyers.
09:10No offense, but they've destroyed more cases than I care to admit.
09:13Wait, really?
09:14Or is that hyperbole?
09:15It's true.
09:16They've intimidated assault victims, silenced witnesses, paid off officials.
09:20Anything to protect the people who hire them.
09:22They sound horrible.
09:23Well, we can't pick and choose our victims.
09:26Given his line of work, chickens may have come home to roost.
09:29Least we can do is look into it.
09:31Lieutenant Connor, get Anders Whitman's phone records.
09:34If you think that's necessary.
09:35Oh, but we don't have cause.
09:37The phone company isn't just going to hand over his phone records.
09:41That's a violation of privacy.
09:42Huh.
09:47Anders Whitman's phone went silent early last night.
09:50He hasn't answered any calls or text since.
09:52They just handed this over?
09:54Pretty much.
09:55Find out who this Anders Whitman spoke to last.
09:57Already did.
09:58It was the fintech CEO, Craig Harris.
10:00He lives in a mansion on the Upper East Side.
10:03Well, go.
10:04Maybe he can tell us something about Anders Whitman's whereabouts.
10:07Shouldn't you assign this to a detective?
10:08Maybe Edwards?
10:09Everyone's grumbling about caseload, and this could be nothing.
10:12But according to protocol...
10:13Go!
10:14Here we go.
10:16They just handed over everything.
10:20Every call, every text, in no time.
10:22Makes you think.
10:23You really can't assume anything is private anymore.
10:26Anders Whitman definitely understood that.
10:28Check it out.
10:29His text messages are full of aliases and penal codes.
10:31Maneuvering around Zebra's 140-20.
10:35Next up, getting Sparrow's 120 handled.
10:38140-20 is a burglary in the third degree.
10:40120 is an assault.
10:41Maybe a domestic dispute.
10:42You just rattled that all so easily.
10:44I had a friend in the academy once who made the mistake of calling in the wrong code.
10:48Poor guy.
10:49Still gets grief for it.
10:50For me, too.
10:51Not gonna lie.
10:52Here we are.
10:53Anders Whitman is missing?
10:57Stu certainly thinks so.
10:59Stu?
11:00He's a skip tracer.
11:02And if Anders' dog could talk, I think he would agree.
11:06Translation, we are trying to locate Mr. Whitman and have a few questions.
11:10I assure you, it'll only take a few minutes.
11:13Visitors cleared to enter the premises.
11:16We understand Mr. Whitman called you yesterday evening?
11:23Uh, yeah.
11:24To cancel our meeting.
11:26But I haven't seen or heard from him since then.
11:29Oh, are these your guests?
11:31Excuse me?
11:31Uh, the chocolate?
11:34Yeah.
11:34I had them flown in from Switzerland yesterday.
11:37A little tariff workaround, please.
11:38Help yourself.
11:40Uh, is there a guy?
11:42Who is this?
11:42Oh, look.
11:43Here it is on the inside.
11:44That's so cute.
11:46Oh, that one's pretty.
11:54What crisis was Mr. Whitman handling for you?
11:57Crisis?
11:58Excuse me.
11:59Must you touch everything?
12:01Sorry, is this a first edition?
12:02It is.
12:03And for that reason, I'd rather you not touch it.
12:05If you hire an outside professional like Anders Whitman to resolve a crisis, it must be serious.
12:10Okay.
12:11Don't act like you don't know.
12:13Look around, man.
12:14Men like me are being vilified.
12:17Vilified.
12:18Vilified?
12:19For what?
12:20Oh, I don't know.
12:20For being successful, for working hard, for fostering innovation.
12:23It's not just me.
12:24It's tech founders across the board.
12:26Hey.
12:27Don't people love a success story?
12:29In theory, but look at social media.
12:32Tech entrepreneurs are mocked and ridiculed.
12:34That's right.
12:35Write that down.
12:36They may be socially awkward, but I for one appreciate innovation.
12:40I don't want to have to go back to hiring a travel agent to book flights and hotels or search for 20 quarters to do a load of laundry.
12:45You know, generally I'm not a fan of humans, but this one, this one I can tolerate.
12:51Good job.
12:53But I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
12:55I'm late for an important engagement.
12:57No.
12:59You've had three.
13:00If you have any more questions about what Anders was doing, you can ask him.
13:12When you find him.
13:24Help!
13:30Help me!
13:46I'm sure Anders is fine.
13:48But you say your colleague hasn't returned any of your calls.
13:51Well, sometimes we have to go deep when managing a crisis.
13:54For example, if a client wakes up with...
13:58A dead hooker.
13:59For example.
14:01I was going to say hangover, but okay.
14:03You can't bring extraneous people into the circle of knowledge.
14:07You surface when everything's cleaned up.
14:09And by cleaned up, you mean...
14:11You know.
14:12Uh, no.
14:13Actually, I don't.
14:14Is it possible someone could have had a problem with the way Mr. Whitman was cleaning things up?
14:20Did he make any enemies?
14:22This business is all about making enemies.
14:24We destroy reputations to protect others.
14:26Wow, I'm beginning to think it goes beyond reputations to things like, I don't know, evidence of wrongdoing, for example.
14:34Of course.
14:35We stay within the bounds of the current law.
14:39I wonder if there'll be any future law.
14:43Anders knows how to straddle that.
14:44Whatever happens, that man always has the last word.
14:48He's one of our best.
14:49Or at least he was.
14:51Why?
14:51Did something happen?
14:52He's been going on about a career pivot.
14:54Although, I don't know what he's going to do instead.
14:56It's not like any of us have time for relationships or family.
14:59Hmm, maybe that's why he wanted a change.
15:04Did Craig Harris know that Anders wanted to leave the business?
15:08I doubt Anders told his clients that.
15:11They expect us to neutralize their messes forever.
15:14Who is Mr. Whitman neutralizing for your client, Craig Harris?
15:17I'm sorry.
15:18I can't just disclose that kind of information to anyone who asks.
15:22Unlike the phone companies.
15:24We find it concerning that his dog was left alone in his apartment.
15:29Yeah.
15:29Wait, Tilly was alone in Anders' apartment?
15:32Yes.
15:33Anders would never leave Tilly alone.
15:35He picked her up from the kennel when he returned from Zurich yesterday morning.
15:39Mr. Whitman was in Switzerland?
15:40Yes, for business.
15:42Are these Swiss chocolates?
15:44Elsbeth, please.
15:45No, it's okay.
15:47Anders always brings a little something back for us.
15:49Try one.
15:50Now that you understand the seriousness of the situation,
15:56maybe you could tell us who Mr. Whitman was trying to silence.
16:01Out of nowhere, he freaks out and pulls you into this creepy apocalyptic dungeon.
16:07What happened after you posted that?
16:09Anders Whitman demanded that I take it down.
16:11When I didn't, he went nuclear and posted all these nasty deep fakes of me online.
16:16Craig Harris was obviously worried your story would damage his company.
16:20But she didn't mention him in the video.
16:23Several commenters were clearly working to figure it out.
16:25I didn't rat him out, but one day he's going to slide into some other woman's DMs
16:29and she won't be as savvy as me and she'll end up dead in that dungeon.
16:34I'm telling you.
16:35We've been to his home.
16:37We didn't see anything to indicate he had a dungeon.
16:40That's because it's hidden.
16:42Imagine being with this guy in his big house.
16:44He's fired all the help, so you're totally alone.
16:48Why did he fire all of his staff?
16:49Because he's a paranoid freak.
16:52He's replaced them with robots and whatever.
16:56Anyway, we're in the middle of this lame dinner and the smoke alarm starts beeping.
17:00It was obviously time to replace the batteries, but Craig was convinced that the socialists were breaking in.
17:07So he pushed me into his den.
17:09The room with all the bookshelves?
17:11Yes.
17:12Then a wall opened up like in a spy movie to this weird bunker.
17:15Did he threaten you?
17:20He said he could nuke anyone who tried to come in after us.
17:27This man has a bunker that nukes people in New York City.
17:30It sounded crazy to me, too, but men like Craig Harris can buy almost anything.
17:35Well, what's his motive?
17:36I mean, didn't he hire Anders Whitman in the first place?
17:39Yes, but Craig Harris really doesn't like people.
17:41I don't think that's a motive.
17:42The Meridian Group calls him Drack.
17:45You want to know why?
17:46Because he sucked the fun out of the room?
17:48No, because he bit an intern.
17:52Drawing blood?
17:53Yes.
17:54Captain, Anders could be in that bunker right now.
17:57Being nuked to death.
17:58Which is why we need to search it.
18:00You said that there was a woman on the video who was serving papers for a defamation suit against Anders Whitman,
18:06who was working for Craig Harris.
18:08Will she file a formal complaint?
18:11Not likely, no.
18:12Because she has seen what can happen.
18:16Well, unless she files that complaint, we don't have anything.
18:19Actually, we do.
18:20We have Swiss chocolates.
18:23Hmm.
18:24Anders had just returned from Zurich.
18:26Craig and Blair both had these delicious chocolates from Switzerland.
18:31I think they were a souvenir from Anders.
18:33Elsbeth, I can't get a warrant to search the home of one of the richest men in the world whose campaign contributions determines whom we work for.
18:40Based on similar chocolates?
18:42Can I pay him a visit?
18:44Elsbeth.
18:44What?
18:44I doubt Craig Harris will ever let you inside his house again.
18:49What are you doing here, miss?
18:51Tassioni.
18:52Elsbeth.
18:53Tassioni.
18:53I thought I'd stop by and give you the scoop on the investigation.
18:56It's about the investigation.
19:05Why are you dressed like that?
19:06Oh.
19:08Yeah, I am a little overdressed, aren't I?
19:10I'm going to an event.
19:13I thought you'd be eager to know what happened to Anders, considering the work he was doing for you?
19:21So, do you work alone in this house, or do you go to an office?
19:26Okay.
19:27An office?
19:28No.
19:28I work here.
19:30Just like I did during the pandemic.
19:31Ah.
19:32I don't like having that blessed time where I didn't have to see people or smell them.
19:37Hmm.
19:38Oh.
19:38Well, I, uh, made you a little something.
19:43Ta-ta-da!
19:44Homemade butterscotch.
19:46After eating your chocolates, I thought, I need to do something in return, but what do you give a billionaire?
19:54Solitude.
19:57Try one.
19:58They're really good.
20:04So, you were saying you had some scoop.
20:07Oh, right.
20:09Yes.
20:09So, it looks like Emily Fogarty, whom I believe you dated briefly, may be involved in Anders' disappearance.
20:18Emily?
20:19Mm-hmm.
20:20Well, it was her post about your secret bunker that, uh, caused the crisis.
20:25Right?
20:25Perhaps.
20:26So, it's true.
20:27You do have a secret bunker.
20:30I have a bunker in New Zealand.
20:32Oh.
20:35That makes more sense.
20:37I was having a hard time picturing a bunker in the middle of Manhattan.
20:40Remember, don't touch.
20:51Right.
20:51Yeah.
20:52Well, it's just...
20:54It's so mesmerizing.
20:56The eyes.
20:57And the story.
20:59I can understand why you'd be drawn to this.
21:02I've actually never read it.
21:03You're kidding.
21:04No.
21:05I don't read books.
21:06AI summarized everything for me.
21:09Oh.
21:10Well, this one, you're gonna want to read.
21:13It's all about the corrupting influence of money.
21:16And how the rich insulate themselves from the consequences of their behavior.
21:24Sounds like the writer was poor.
21:28Uh, Fitzgerald did struggle financially.
21:31Because poor people are always trying to scapegoat the rich, don't they?
21:36Isn't that right?
21:37And that's not gonna stop until they get universal basic income.
21:40Hmm?
21:40Well, at least you recognize that people will need a means to live.
21:43You still haven't articulated why you think Emily has anything to do with Andrew's disappearance, huh?
21:48Well, it turns out that Emily was suing Andrews for defamation.
21:53It means nothing.
21:54Well, it's a possible motive, isn't it?
21:56A motive for what?
21:58You still don't know where he is.
22:01Or do you?
22:04No.
22:05Not yet.
22:08But you know what?
22:10You are right.
22:11I am just gonna...
22:14I am going to come back later when I have something more.
22:19But, um, in the meantime, I have that event, so.
22:26Good day, Mr. Harris.
22:28Good day, Miss...
22:30Tassione!
22:31Sure.
22:32Hi, I'm sorry I'm late.
22:46No need to apologize.
22:47I was waylaid by a very rich man who isn't against helping people.
22:54He's just against the whole human race.
22:56Sounds like one of my opponents, and a few of my donors.
23:00You're Shirley Temple.
23:01I'm so glad you could join us tonight.
23:07What's that doing here?
23:08If you could give us your attention for a moment, the chairwoman of this effort, Winnie Crawford, would like to say a few words.
23:19Thank you, Nell.
23:19Well, as you know, my husband, Judge Milton Crawford, was brutally slain on the steps of the courthouse last year.
23:31You all knew him for his deep dedication to justice.
23:36I also knew him as a dedicated husband, father, and friend.
23:41To share your life with someone with such a strong moral character was a gift.
23:47I wanted to honor him in some way, and honestly, raising money to improve this hallowed place he cherished seemed ideal.
23:56The plans are exquisite.
23:58And I welcome any questions you may have about the project, which is obviously so dear to me.
24:03Thank you, and enjoy.
24:08You okay?
24:10Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
24:11No, no, no, it's okay.
24:12Miss Tassioni.
24:13Oh.
24:14Yes, I know who you are.
24:15I've been wanting to speak with you.
24:17With me?
24:19Perhaps we can set up a time for the two of us to talk.
24:22What?
24:22Why?
24:23I'd like you to tell me everything you know about my husband.
24:27I think it's time, don't you?
24:30Winnie.
24:32Excuse me for a moment.
24:36You know what?
24:37I'm, uh...
24:38I'm just gonna go.
24:40Are you sure?
24:41It sounds like she just wants to talk.
24:44The thing is, Judge Crawford killed innocent people.
24:49Won't be a fun conversation.
24:51And my grandmother always said, if you don't have something nice to say about someone, just shut your trap.
24:55I think your grandmother would do well in politics.
24:59But if you don't want to be here, let's leave.
25:04I don't understand.
25:06I hear there's a problem.
25:08No problem.
25:09I'm just finding new ways to deal with intruders.
25:14You know me.
25:15I'm always hungry for innovation.
25:18Oh.
25:19Well, I'm happy to show you new features that we're, uh, rolling out to our best customers.
25:26Hmm.
25:26This system not only tracks intruders using a toxic nerve agent, but it automatically radios the police.
25:33Police?
25:34No, no, no, no, no.
25:35Not that.
25:35Not that.
25:36What do you have in mind?
25:37I don't know.
25:38Hypothetically speaking, if...
25:40Hypothetically, there was an intruder trapped in your safe room, would there be a way to poison the air?
25:46Like with carbon monoxide?
25:49Matters is awfully specific.
25:51I suppose all you'd need, hypothetically, is a way to direct the carbon monoxide exhaust into the room.
26:02Perfect.
26:21Anders!
26:27Anders!
26:28Anders!
26:51When you're dealing with a guy who may be nuking people, the last thing you want to be reminded of is Judge Crawford.
27:03And then along comes his wife, Winnie.
27:05She keeps leaving me all these voicemails and texts.
27:08She even sent a note to the precinct.
27:10You don't have to talk to her.
27:12I know, but maybe I should.
27:14You've been doing so well since getting out of prison.
27:16Do you want to stir all that up again?
27:17I doubt knowing the truth will bring Winnie Crawford any peace anyway.
27:21The captain is right.
27:22She's probably looking for closure she'll never find.
27:26I've got news about Anders Whitman that you're not going to believe.
27:30He was hit by a car?
27:32Coming out of a manhole on 72nd Street.
27:35Died at the scene.
27:36Driver had no time to stop.
27:37And that's not all that happened to him.
27:38He also had cuts and abrasions inconsistent with the blunt force trauma of the vehicle.
27:42And it appears he'd been bitten by a rat.
27:47Ooh, something just got added.
27:49There's also evidence of a strange chemical substance underneath one of his fingernails.
27:54Oh, and sorry, another addendum.
27:58Second degree electrical burns on his face and hands.
28:01Gosh, where was this guy?
28:02Toontown?
28:03As of yet, there's no evidence a piano fell on his head.
28:06Well, the burns could be from the nuking Emily described.
28:10That was just a figure of speech.
28:12No one has nuclear capabilities in their home, not even a billionaire.
28:15Must be someone else who knows what's inside that bunker.
28:19Like whom?
28:20Your name is on the city permits.
28:22I did the work a couple years back.
28:24Left Wyoming to design safe rooms and bunkers for all of New York's billionaires afraid of the unwashed masses.
28:30Admirable.
28:31It's a living.
28:32Who am I to deny the super wealthy their peace of mind?
28:36Their problem.
28:38If you were to be trapped inside Craig's particular bunker, would you be able to work your way through a tunnel underground and then wind up on 72nd Street?
28:53It's possible.
28:54When we installed the ventilation system, we connected to an abandoned subway tunnel.
28:59But they don't know that.
29:00A lot of my clients want to be completely off the grid.
29:02That may be possible if you're in Alaska or Utah.
29:05But if you're in the city and you want water, toilets, and air, you have to hook into New York City lines.
29:10What can you tell us about the interior of your bunkers?
29:12Ah, imagine the luxury of a penthouse equipped with a wide array of amenities designed to protect against intrusion.
29:21Each subterra bunker is fitted with electrified doorknobs, smokescreen launchers, the works.
29:27I think I'll stick with a basic alarm and my dog, Gonzo.
29:31Of course, if you have that level of security, you have to deal with the potential aftermath.
29:34We now offer a self-sanitizing system that cleans better than a public bathroom in Paris.
29:40Those are amazingly clean.
29:42We also offer an emulsifier spray that preserves fresh fruits and vegetables for months.
29:47Ah, that sounds like something we could all use.
29:49Hmm, growers in the Midwest blocked its release to the public.
29:53Having produce last for weeks would put a dent in their profits.
29:56They're not wrong.
29:58Would Craig's Bunker have the ability to nuke someone?
30:04Is Craig Harris dissatisfied with the product?
30:08What makes you think that?
30:10Well, when he was here yesterday...
30:12Wait, he was here yesterday?
30:14Look, I believe in giving clients what they want.
30:18But what some of them want veers into cruelty.
30:20And I refuse to build a torture chamber.
30:24Is that what Craig wanted?
30:26A torture chamber?
30:28I made sure he didn't have enough power to kill anybody.
30:31So he was trying to microwave the men?
30:35It appears so.
30:36It's all making sense now.
30:38Not to me.
30:39Craig had withdrawn from everybody.
30:42His wife, his kids, even his staff.
30:44So when Anders showed up for that meeting, there was no one else there.
30:48So he lured him into the bunker so he could torture him?
30:51Yes!
30:51And if we had done a thorough job to begin with, we might have found Anders alive.
30:55So let's get in there now and prove it.
30:58Sir, we have a warrant to search the bunker.
31:01The one you claim you didn't have?
31:03How is this happening?
31:04It's not a bunker.
31:05It's a safe room.
31:06I'm guessing the entrance is somewhere over here.
31:09Oh, oh, you think I'm going to help you invade my space?
31:12Is that right?
31:13Open it or we'll break the wall down, sir.
31:17Oh my god.
31:20Oh, I knew that book was significant.
31:37It's a classic.
31:46I think my entire apartment could sit in this corner.
31:49Ugh, it's very Jay Gatsby, isn't it?
31:52Why can't escape rooms be this nice?
31:54You ever been to one?
31:55Oh, gosh, no.
31:56The thought always scared me.
31:58They're never this clean.
32:00You could eat off the floor in here.
32:02And yet, no matter how well you seal a place,
32:06these fruit flies always seem to find a way in.
32:11Hey, I see what you're doing.
32:13Mr. Harris, back away from our officers.
32:16No, they're planting evidence right there.
32:17Under the nose of a consent decree lawyer.
32:19What?
32:20What?
32:20The NYPD was ordered to bring in an outside observer.
32:23Okay, where?
32:24That's me.
32:25Oh, God.
32:26These officers are securing the perimeter
32:28as they've been instructed.
32:30Do you know what?
32:30I thought you understood,
32:31but you're just as brainwashed as the rest, ma'am.
32:33You resent me and you resent my work.
32:35I understand being an introvert.
32:37But this?
32:38This?
32:38I'm protecting myself.
32:40In the event of an uprising,
32:41do you believe this is going to save you from angry mobs?
32:44For how long?
32:45And against how many?
32:46What's the point of all that intelligence
32:48if you're going to use it to achieve ends
32:49that are destructive and stupid?
32:51Uh, Lieutenant?
32:59Yes.
33:01CSI's couldn't find anything.
33:03Looks like the place was scrubbed clean.
33:05He must have the self-cleaning system.
33:08Better than a public bathroom in Paris.
33:11We're done here.
33:12Pack it up.
33:13What?
33:15You're not arresting me?
33:16I told you.
33:21He was never here.
33:28Please step off the premises
33:30or risk Grievous Har.
33:34The man makes things up out of thin air.
33:37We saw it happen.
33:37It seems Craig Harris honestly believed
33:39we were going to fabricate evidence
33:40to use against him.
33:41That's the thing.
33:42Anders Whitman did have information
33:44to use against him.
33:45Craig Harris may have turned on his fixer.
33:47He may have attempted to kill him, but...
33:49Here it comes.
33:50We have no proof.
33:51Ugh.
33:54It's Winnie Crawford.
33:56Again.
33:57Are you going to answer it?
34:00You know something?
34:01Yes.
34:09Are you absolutely sure?
34:11I am.
34:13We came close to proving it.
34:18I know it's a lot.
34:22I'm sorry.
34:23After 40 years of marriage,
34:24you think you know a person?
34:27My husband murdered innocent people.
34:30And here I was planning dinner parties.
34:32I assume Milton knew you were on to him.
34:38Powerful men usually do whatever they can
34:40to keep their secrets.
34:44You must have been so scared.
34:48I'm sorry for what you went through.
34:52And I will stop honoring the judge's memory.
34:58What?
34:59I guess I expected you to still defend him.
35:03Given what I know now, how can I?
35:11Hello.
35:12Another addendum.
35:13To the autopsy?
35:14What more could have happened to this guy?
35:16The lab identified the material
35:18underneath Mr. Whitman's nail.
35:20Diglyceri?
35:21Could be from a tunnel, maybe.
35:23Yeah, but even if we search the tunnel,
35:25there's no way to prove that Anders escaped
35:28from Craig Harris' bunker
35:29because there were multiple connections.
35:31Going into that tunnel,
35:33he could have come from any of them.
35:35Where does that leave us?
35:37I wish there was some way
35:38I could put myself in Anders' shoes,
35:41trapped in a room with seemingly no escape.
35:47We can.
35:52You now find yourselves
35:57in the basement
35:59of an abandoned asylum
36:03where Dr. Fright
36:06has been performing
36:07forced lobotomies
36:10on his unfortunate patients.
36:15Are the theatrics really necessary?
36:16Shh.
36:17He's probably getting his equity card.
36:19You have exactly one hour
36:23to find the doctor's credentials
36:27and thus unmask his true identity.
36:32If you fail,
36:35he will make you
36:38his next victim.
36:40That was awesome.
36:50Okay, okay.
36:51I mean, I don't even know where to start.
36:53It can seem overwhelming.
36:54I know I felt the same way
36:56when I was stuck in a CIA safe house.
36:58My team almost failed that one,
37:00but we rebounded
37:01at the taxidermy lab in Moscow.
37:03The taxidermy lab in Moscow?
37:05Sorry.
37:06Moscow, Pennsylvania.
37:07We broke the record.
37:08Escaped 39 minutes, 13 seconds.
37:10Wait, you went out of town
37:12for an escape room?
37:13Well, you can't keep doing
37:14the same ones over and over.
37:15Right.
37:18Hey.
37:19Hey, hey.
37:20What was that?
37:22Nothing.
37:23I thought we were supposed
37:23to work together as a team.
37:25I don't remember reading that
37:26in the rules.
37:27Ah!
37:28You probably just found
37:29one of those hidden clues
37:30left by some sorry player
37:32who never made it out.
37:33Why would they be hidden?
37:36Well, you can't leave messages
37:37where Dr. Fright might find them.
37:39Duh.
37:41Oh!
37:43That's it!
37:44Ah!
37:46I brought you a little something.
37:53Okay, Miss, um...
37:56Tassioni.
37:57Maybe you should write it down.
37:58Okay.
37:59Please stop bringing me things,
38:01all right?
38:01I clearly want for nothing.
38:03Oh, but this,
38:05I think you'll need.
38:07Why would I need a fly swatter?
38:11I'll show you.
38:19Get back inside.
38:21Get back inside.
38:22Get back.
38:22Get it.
38:22What?
38:25What?
38:26You didn't succeed
38:27in framing me the first time,
38:28so you're going to keep trying?
38:28Is that what's happening?
38:29Does it get tiring
38:30believing everyone is out to get you?
38:32That's what we're looking for.
38:34Hello, little fruit flies.
38:36Fruit flies?
38:37What?
38:38It didn't make sense
38:39that there were fruit flies in here
38:41because the fruit had been treated
38:42with that special preservative,
38:44but clearly,
38:45some of it had been scraped off.
38:47That's the same substance
38:49we found underneath
38:50Mr. Whitman's fingernail,
38:51diglyceride.
38:53Okay.
38:54You know this doesn't prove anything,
38:55right?
38:56Right?
38:57No.
38:57On its own,
38:58it doesn't prove much.
38:59But under the circumstances,
39:01Anders did the only thing
39:01a good PR crisis manager could do.
39:04He got in the final word.
39:05Officer Reynolds,
39:07read that banana.
39:08Drac125.
39:11This is nonsense.
39:13This is crazy.
39:14Actually, it's not.
39:16The Meridian Group's nickname
39:17for you is Drac,
39:20and 125 is what, Officer Reynolds?
39:22It's a New York penal code for homicide.
39:24Translation?
39:25Craig killed me.
39:28Craig Harris,
39:28you were under arrest for assault.
39:3012010.
39:31And attempted murder.
39:3312525.
39:35Okay, I must spare no expense
39:36in fighting these ridiculous charges,
39:37and I'm not getting the best lawyers.
39:39Unless they turn on you, too.
39:53Oh.
39:55Ms. Tassioni,
39:55I apologize for dropping in on you like this.
39:58What can I do for you?
39:59I wanted to tell you
40:01that I've had second thoughts
40:02about abandoning my work
40:04with the law library.
40:06Oh.
40:07Well, he don't have to explain.
40:09Please, hear me out.
40:12My effort is bringing in
40:14a great deal of private money
40:16at a time when public money
40:18is disappearing.
40:20I can't be the one to stop that.
40:22I hope you understand my decision.
40:24Of course.
40:25And at least, perhaps,
40:27now some good can come
40:29of the tragic events of the past.
40:31Oh, I hope so.
40:33For everyone's sake.
40:36There is one other thing
40:37I keep wondering.
40:43You said you had proof
40:45of my husband's guilt.
40:46What did you mean by that?
40:49We had an item
40:50that belonged to Sherry,
40:53the victim
40:53that we believe
40:54had Judge Crawford's blood on it.
40:57Unfortunately,
40:58it, uh,
41:00disappeared
41:00before we could test it.
41:03Disappeared?
41:04From the lab.
41:06I think Judge Crawford
41:08was responsible for that.
41:13The bad news never ends, does it?
41:16I am so sorry.
41:19You are not to blame
41:20for anything.
41:24Next time we meet,
41:25we'll discuss something pleasant.
41:27Like the theater or travel.
41:29Not that there has to be
41:31a next time.
41:32I have been trying
41:33to cultivate new friends.
41:35Then we should have lunch.
41:39I'd like that.
41:40I'd like that.
42:10Let's go.
