00:00Previously on Wild Cards.
00:01I know who killed your brother.
00:03I've been waiting for over a year for breaking this case.
00:05You can't be involved.
00:06When we were literally this close, you want me to just stop?
00:08Yes.
00:09You just got out of prison.
00:11Sweet, sweet freedom.
00:12There's some videos you're going to want to see.
00:14Well, here we are.
00:16Well, hello, old friend.
00:17Cheer up, Max, because my campaign says better days ahead.
00:21Now his mom sent him away after Daniel's murders.
00:22I need to talk to him.
00:23He's in college, out east.
00:25Okay, Ricky, we'll get you a flight,
00:26and we'll figure out what's really going on inside that club.
00:28Selena LaFleur.
00:29I do need a singer.
00:35I'm increasing your brother's dead.
00:39Daniel's dead because of me.
00:43Look, just start from the beginning.
00:45Tell me what happened that night.
00:47Oh, Daniel and I went to my mom's club to get a textbook.
00:50She bought me.
00:51She forgot it there.
00:53There it is.
00:54Daniel was tutoring me.
01:00Right over here.
01:01Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide.
01:02Just hide.
01:03That's good.
01:04Right there.
01:05We can talk.
01:06I recognized that void.
01:08There was a guy named Locke.
01:09Roman Locke?
01:10You know him?
01:11The police are very aware of him, yes.
01:13My mom always said he was bad news.
01:15That's probably why I wasn't allowed in the club.
01:16She didn't want me anywhere near him.
01:17What was he doing there?
01:18I don't know.
01:20The club was closed.
01:21It must have been some kind of secret meeting or something.
01:23Secret meeting with who?
01:24Who was there?
01:25I don't know.
01:25From where we were hiding in the back.
01:27It was too hard to see.
01:29I got a guy.
01:29He's going to take some pictures.
01:31He's going to make it look real.
01:33Pictures of who?
01:34The other person that was there?
01:35No, they mentioned something about someone's career getting ruined.
01:37And I was going to help them both.
01:39Help them how?
01:40What do you mean?
01:40I don't know.
01:41I don't know.
01:43Okay.
01:44What happened next?
01:48Check it out.
01:49What are we going to do?
01:51Stay quiet and don't move.
01:53What?
01:58Who the hell are you?
02:00Sorry.
02:00I didn't know anybody else was here.
02:02Answer the question.
02:03I'm Dan.
02:04New busboy.
02:05I just came early to take out the trash.
02:07That can wait.
02:08Now get lost.
02:10Sure, man.
02:11No problem.
02:25All clear, boss.
02:28That busboy saw us together.
02:29We can't take any chances.
02:32Find out who it is.
02:34Then call Zippo and have him taken care of.
02:36Next day, Daniel was murdered.
02:40Did you tell anyone?
02:42It was just my mom.
02:43And she said not to say anything.
02:45All right, Samson, last thing.
02:46That night at the club, this other person that was there, did you get a look at them?
02:52No.
02:54Look, Samson.
02:56I need you to hear this, okay?
02:59None of this makes you responsible for Daniel's death, all right?
03:04I made the noise.
03:05I made the noise, and he covered for me.
03:08It's my fault.
03:12I'm so, so sorry.
03:15It's okay.
03:15Hey.
03:16It's okay.
03:18What'd he say?
03:19Samson was there.
03:20He heard everything.
03:21Roman Locke sent the hit on Daniel.
03:23He's the reason my brother's dead.
03:24We need to find him.
03:25Well, not a problem.
03:26I'm looking at him right now.
03:28What?
03:28Max, stay away from him.
03:29He's dangerous.
03:30Ryan Samson just agreed to testify, and I'm bringing him home.
03:32We're gonna end this, now.
03:33Okay, just get home fast, Ellis.
03:35All right.
03:37You're a damn cop, and you're gonna die.
03:40I'm sorry, what?
03:41I just got off the phone with my son, who said that I sent him a text telling him to
03:46talk to a cop.
03:47But I didn't send it.
03:48If Locke finds out that you're a cop, he is going to kill you.
03:51First of all, I'm not even a cop.
03:52Who the hell is my son talking to?
03:54The detective's name is Ellis.
03:56He's Daniel's brother, and he's been trying to solve Daniel's murder for the past two years.
04:00Daniel saved Samson's life.
04:01Well, with Samson's testimony.
04:03No, there is no way that my son will testify.
04:06Why not?
04:07I am so sorry that Daniel died, but nothing is gonna bring him back.
04:11My son is still alive, and I'd like to keep him that way.
04:14I know, Ellis.
04:15You can trust him.
04:17He can help keep you and Samson safe.
04:19Your partner?
04:20He can't keep us safe.
04:22No one can.
04:23The police can.
04:23No, they can't.
04:25Locke is-is protected.
04:27By who?
04:29By someone inside the police department.
04:52Is-is he dead?
04:54Shot twice, execution style.
04:56Well, somebody was afraid he was gonna talk.
04:59I didn't see the shooter, did you?
05:00Nope.
05:01All right.
05:02Wipe down everything you touch, and let's get out of here.
05:05Here.
05:13Anything?
05:14Checked all the CCTV cameras from Tyson's neighborhood.
05:18I can't find the shooter anywhere.
05:20Damn it.
05:23Elena from the club said that when Tyson stopped by, he asked for Locke.
05:27Shouldn't hear the whole conversation, except that they talked about how you were sniffing around Daniel's murder.
05:31That's why Locke had Tyson killed, to tie up that loose end.
05:34All right, I just talked to one of my pals on the inside.
05:37He confirmed what Elena said.
05:38Locke's got some serious protection from someone inside the department.
05:41Any names?
05:42No, but it does explain how he's made such a mark for himself in such a short time.
05:45This is true.
05:46I hacked into the police database, and when I was digging-
05:50Ricky, I told you to stop doing that.
05:52Then tell your IT department to stop using encryption algorithms from before Justin Bieber started shaving.
05:57Anyway, look at this.
05:58I sifted through case files and reports that had anything to do with Locke.
06:03There's a clear pattern here.
06:05Locke was being investigated for drugs, money laundering, organized crime, and was said to be connected to four unsolved murders.
06:12Yeah.
06:12Then two years ago, something changed.
06:14Looks like as his crime network grew, arrests in his organization dropped off.
06:19Yeah.
06:19Just a couple of small-time busts.
06:21And all the raids turned up nothing.
06:22He was getting tipped off.
06:23Just like when we had that first big lead on Zippo.
06:25Remember that?
06:25And then, boom, he just bolts minutes before Simmons got there.
06:28We need to get Samson back into town ASAP and get him to testify.
06:32No, absolutely not.
06:33What do you mean?
06:34That kid's testimony is going to put Locke away.
06:36I don't care.
06:37First Locke has my brother killed, and now Tyson?
06:39I'm not risking that boy's life, too.
06:42Two years.
06:43Two years of coming up with nothing, and now I finally have a witness, and I can't even use him.
06:48Damn it!
06:57Hey, we understand.
07:00Let me go back to the club and see what I can dig up.
07:02This isn't over.
07:04But you gotta stay here, okay?
07:07Promise?
07:09Okay.
07:18What are you doing back here?
07:19I gotta sit at 9.30.
07:21I don't walk out on a gig.
07:23I warn you.
07:23If you say or do anything to put me and my son in danger...
07:27I'm just here to sing my little heart out, okay?
07:29When you find your replacement, I'll be out of your hair.
07:38You've got to be kidding me.
07:44Well, part of stay away, don't you understand?
07:45I can't just sit around and wait anymore.
07:47It's been two years.
07:48Can't you give us a few more days?
07:50Look, I know luck had my brother killed.
07:51I need to put pressure on him right now and get him to make a move.
07:53Okay, so you do have a death wish.
07:55You still don't get it, do you?
07:57This isn't about me.
08:00I don't matter.
08:02You matter to me.
08:08Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to our stage, Selina LeClerc.
08:11Looks like you're up.
08:32Who's gonna tell you when?
08:36It's too late.
08:43Who's gonna tell you things?
08:46Who's gonna tell you things?
08:49Aren't so great.
08:55You can't go on thinking.
09:02Nothing's wrong.
09:08Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
09:20Detective Ellis, I was wondering when you were gonna show.
09:24You know, Locke, you're gonna get used to seeing me around here.
09:26Because I'm gonna be here a lot now.
09:28Every day, in fact.
09:30And I'll be watching you.
09:32Where you go, what you do, who you talk to.
09:35Well, that sounds like a lot of work.
09:38Why don't we go somewhere?
09:39For a private chat.
10:01Over here, straight ahead.
10:03You, leave.
10:13I'm not wearing a wire.
10:15This place gets wet for bugs every day, so we can speak freely.
10:21Sit.
10:24Wait outside, make sure we're not disturbed.
10:30You know, you are even more of a pain in the ass
10:34than your brother was.
10:39And that ends tonight.
10:49Listen.
10:49Listen, I don't want a war over here.
10:52That just gets messy.
10:55And messy's not good for business.
10:58And if I'm being honest, you really can't win anyway.
11:02But, I am in a position to make you an offer.
11:10And all you gotta do is play nice.
11:13Be a friend.
11:15Not an enemy.
11:18What do I get in return?
11:20Well, you get to write your ticket in the department.
11:24Look, I've been watching you.
11:26And you have had a rough go of it these last few years.
11:29But with the right people behind you, better days ahead.
11:36And if I say no?
11:38Well, then we look behind door number two,
11:39and there's not much of a future there.
11:42Why did my brother have to die?
11:49Door number two it is.
11:56That day at the club, who were you talking to?
11:59What are you talking about?
12:00You were talking about some photographs,
12:02and then blackmail, and a new business arrangement.
12:04Who were you talking to?
12:05How do you know any of that?
12:07Then, you got your goon to follow my brother Daniel,
12:09and you put Zippo on the hit.
12:11How do you know that?
12:14Who was it?
12:17Tell me right now.
12:18How do you know that?
12:19Should have got your guy to check that back office better.
12:24Are you telling me there was someone else there?
12:26If you shoot me, you'll never find out.
12:37I'll take my chances.
13:06That's in victor number one.
13:27No, no, no, no, no.
13:28Get out, get out.
13:33You know what's funny?
13:35All this fuss.
13:38And I don't even remember your brother's name.
13:53His name was Daniel.
13:58His name was Daniel.
14:27Why'd my brother have to die?
14:31Alice?
14:33Alice?
14:34Alice, what are you doing?
14:36Alice, look at me.
14:41Alice, look at me.
14:43Alice, look at me.
14:44Alice, look at me.
14:46Don't do this.
14:49Alice, this is not who you are.
14:53Let me take you home.
14:55Let's go home.
14:56Alice, come on.
15:23You could have died back there.
15:26Yeah, well, I didn't.
15:27I've never seen you do anything without a plan.
15:31And when I saw you walk off with Locke,
15:33I don't think you'd believe that you were ever going to come back.
15:37Why?
15:40Max, can we not?
15:41Why did you say that you don't matter?
15:46Max, it's over.
15:47What could possibly make you think that you don't matter?
15:53There's something you don't know about Daniel's story.
15:58That night after the club, he called me.
16:03Said he needed to talk to me, that it was important.
16:07The next day, he called me back, left the same message.
16:12I didn't call him back.
16:15I was too busy in my case.
16:18Ellis, it wasn't your fault.
16:23I didn't call him back.
16:25Ellis.
16:26I remember thinking, Guy probably just needs a favor from those dumb kids he's working with.
16:32Ellis, stop.
16:34He was trying to tell me about Locke.
16:36He was scared.
16:37He needed help.
16:39And I just couldn't be bothered.
16:42No, Ellis, you didn't know.
16:44If I would have just called him back, he'd still be here.
16:50He was my brother.
16:53He was my little baby brother.
16:59It's okay.
17:00He was crying.
17:18As if I had been so scared, I would have such a weird thing to live.
17:19I was to introduce yourself to your brother.
17:19I want milk to store.
17:21I can speak to my brother.
17:21I have a problem.
17:21I can't eat you.
17:21It's okay.
17:23I can't eat you.
17:23I can't eat you.
17:24I can eat you.
17:24I can eat you.
17:25I can eat you.
17:30Did you sleep?
17:33Not much.
17:34Good thing I made breakfast.
17:36Coffee, croissant, painkillers.
17:39I should get home.
17:43Really?
17:44Yeah.
17:50What is it?
17:58I know who the mole in the department is.
18:04You defy me yet again.
18:06I told you to stay away from this case, Alice.
18:08I know, and I'm sorry, okay?
18:09But you're going to want to hear this.
18:11Let's hear him out at least.
18:12Who was this witness you mentioned?
18:14He's an 18-year-old kid.
18:15He was with Daniel the day before he was murdered.
18:17And he overheard the same conversation that got Daniel killed.
18:21What was the conversation about?
18:23He overheard Locke talking with somebody about some smear campaign.
18:26He doesn't have all the details.
18:28He's really traumatized by the whole thing.
18:30How will you ensure his safety before he testifies?
18:33That's the easy part.
18:35Place him and his mother in protective custody.
18:37That's not everything.
18:41We have a mole in the department.
18:43Somebody on the inside is feeding Locke information.
18:46Who?
18:47I don't know.
18:48But nobody except the people in this room can know about what's going on.
18:51What's happening or who we're protecting.
18:53This has to remain between us.
18:54That makes sense.
18:56I hope you agree.
18:57Okay.
18:58Where's the safe house?
18:59Found a house on the outskirts of town.
19:01It'll do.
19:02Select officers are going to be stationed there day and night,
19:04but they won't be given any details.
19:05All of this will remain strictly confidential.
19:08You have our word.
19:09Good work, Detective.
19:12Thanks.
19:15You can't get past this stupid level.
19:18Maybe it's time you give up.
19:19I'm not a quitter, so I'm not going to do that.
19:25Sometimes being a real winner is knowing when to quit.
19:27So.
19:32Hey, Jim.
19:35You were leaving us?
19:36Sure am.
19:37Let's, uh, call it secrecy.
19:39I don't know.
19:39That's why they call it the secret.
19:41Charges are inside.
19:42Nobody goes in but Ellis.
19:43You going to be okay on your own?
19:44Yeah.
19:45Got my coffee.
19:45Clock in overtime.
19:47No complaints here.
19:48Okay, well.
19:49Have a good one.
19:54I don't know.
20:20Just a signature when you have a moment.
20:22I hate to get ahead of myself, but as of now, I am four points ahead in the mayor's race.
20:28Congratulations.
20:29Now, if I do end up in office, I'm going to need a new commissioner.
20:33Me, ma'am?
20:34I never even thought of throwing my hat in that ring.
20:39Well, start thinking.
20:40I have to take this.
20:44Commissioner Russo here.
20:45It's done.
20:46Both mother and son are dead.
20:47I shot them just like you asked.
20:49Wonderful.
20:49Thanks for getting back to me.
20:51I'll call Locke to let him know.
20:53Mm-hmm.
20:58Bravo, Jimbo.
20:59Very convincing.
21:00Go to hell.
21:00Hey, Jim, I'm sure you'll be fine.
21:02Hell, I hear they love cops in prison.
21:04But first, we're going to play a game.
21:05And it's called, can ballistics prove that Jim's gun was used in any other murders?
21:09It's done.
21:10Jim's in cuffs.
21:11You confirmed everything you thought.
21:24Commissioner, you're under arrest.
21:26Ha, that's funny.
21:29We know that was Jim who just called.
21:31He just confirmed that you ordered him to kill Elena and Samson Ramos.
21:34Why would I do that?
21:37The night before my brother was killed, he overheard a conversation between Locke and somebody else.
21:41They were discussing a smear campaign.
21:43Thanks to Jim, we now know that that other person was you.
21:47What you didn't know until I told you and Lee was that Samson was also hiding in that office that
21:52night.
21:52Now, you were only deputy commissioner back then.
21:54But you were so ambitious, weren't you?
21:56So when your predecessor resigned in the wake of a scandal after photos of Nefair emerged, you were promoted.
22:02Photos, by the way, he always claimed were fabricated.
22:04But you knew that.
22:05That was the deal you made with Locke, right?
22:07He would get rid of the commissioner and you would protect his business interests.
22:10This is insane.
22:12And when I got too close to one of Locke's operations, he called in a favor.
22:16That's when you had Jim plant those drugs in my car.
22:18He even had me convinced of it.
22:20Killed the investigation and had me demote Ellis.
22:23Tony, cuff her.
22:25With pleasure.
22:31If it means anything, I didn't know Daniel was your brother at the time.
22:36You know, it makes me sick that you're still standing here and he's not.
22:40But at least you'll rot in a prison cell for the rest of your life.
22:43Take her away.
22:48One more loose end to tie up.
23:00Roman Locke, you're under arrest.
23:04One phone call and I'm out in an hour.
23:06I don't think so.
23:07See, Russo already made her one phone call.
23:09It was to her attorney.
23:15It doesn't look like better days ahead for you.
23:18Get him out of here.
23:46We brought down the trifecta today.
23:48Folks, a criminal, a politician, and a police officer.
23:51It's like the breakfast club of bad guys.
23:54Ballistics just confirmed.
23:55They matched Jim's gun with a bullet that killed Tyson.
23:58And why did he have to die?
23:59Well, actually, Jim sang like a canary.
24:01He told us all about it.
24:02Couldn't get him to shut up.
24:04Tyson was someone that Daniel knew.
24:06So they used him to lure Daniel to the alley where Zippo shot him.
24:11Why?
24:11Why would he do that?
24:13Locke's people threatened Tyson's family.
24:15So with Russo, Jim, and Locke all flipping on each other, Samson won't have to testify after all.
24:21You know, the irony of all this is that Russo was the one that put Max and I together.
24:24If she hadn't done that, I mean, it would have never solved this case.
24:26Wait.
24:27Did you just give me a compliment?
24:29Maybe.
24:30But there's more.
24:34Here.
24:34What's this?
24:35Open it.
24:39Guys!
24:43Wait, are you actually lost her words?
24:46Oh, my God.
24:47I think we broke her.
24:48You do understand that's not a real badge, so don't go arresting anyone, okay?
24:52Okay, but what if I say, just kidding, right after?
24:54No.
24:55And it was all Ellis' idea.
24:57Badge part.
24:57I added the sparkles.
25:09Hey, you got a sign?
25:10Yeah, sure.
25:18There's no easy way to say this.
25:21The brass is putting you on leave.
25:23Really?
25:24Look, there's going to be a huge internal affairs investigation now.
25:27And upstairs' worry that your off-the-books involvement is going to make this more of a PR nightmare than
25:32it already is.
25:33I don't know, I get it.
25:34Ellis, I'm going to fight this.
25:36I already have calls into the mayor, interim commissioner, and the police union.
25:39Chief, thank you, thank you, but maybe this is a good thing.
25:44I think I need a little break.
25:45The past two years, all I did was think about catching Daniel's killer, bringing them to justice, and now we
25:49did that.
26:02What are you going to do?
26:04I don't know.
26:06Thanks for always having my back, Chief.
26:09I mean that.
26:09You take care, Ellis.
26:11You too.
26:25Remember the rules I spoke about?
26:27Those rules were my North Star.
26:30Those rules are there for a reason.
26:32Because they work.
26:33They keep you safe and free.
26:35So, imagine my surprise one day when this man who'd lived his whole life by the rules was caught completely
26:43off guard.
26:43I met someone who reminded me of myself when I was his age.
26:48I remember how terrified and alone I felt when my father left.
26:52So, against my better judgment, I took him in.
26:55I became his mentor, taught him everything I know, and together we became a great team.
27:01Until one day, I had to walk away, to protect my freedom, I retreated back to my rules, my North
27:09Star.
27:11Of course, it's a much different man you see before you now, although in many ways, I'm still that 13
27:16-year-old kid trying to figure things out.
27:19But before the journey ends, I want you to know the truth.
27:22I was wrong about everything.
27:25And you were right.
27:28I did the same thing to you that my father did to me.
27:32I turned my back on somebody I truly cared about, because I was afraid.
27:37And before it's too late, I just want to tell you, I'm sorry.
27:43I'm so proud of you, and the man you have become.
27:49Take care, George.
27:51George.
27:59Did you ever find out how he died?
28:01No, there's heart medication in his belongings.
28:05In the autopsy, he uncovered a degenerative heart condition.
28:09So he knew he was dying.
28:11Whatever happened between you two?
28:12Story as old as time, Ricky.
28:14I met a girl.
28:15The remarkable Vivian?
28:17Yeah.
28:18He didn't like her?
28:19He thought she'd be a distraction.
28:20Part of Asford's code was you had to be able and willing to make a clean getaway at a moment's
28:25notice.
28:25So he made you choose.
28:27It was the last time I ever saw him.
28:30I always figured he'd hate my guts till the day he died.
28:33He came all this way just to see you, and to give you this very special gift.
28:37Did he?
28:38We are talking about the greatest conman who ever lived.
28:41How do we know this isn't just one last scam from beyond the grave?
28:46We're about to find out.
28:49Freeze, sucka!
28:51You're under arrest.
28:52Okay, you got me.
28:54Wow, that felt just as cool as I thought it would.
28:57I'm going to use this to get into so many museums, movies, concerts.
29:01I hope the power doesn't go to my head.
29:03I think we're past that.
29:05A little birdie told me that you were put on leave.
29:08Yeah, it's going to take some time for myself.
29:10What are you going to do?
29:11Well, I finally got the boat running.
29:12The boat's going to boat?
29:14Yes, the boat actually boats now.
29:17I'm going to finally take that trip Daniel talked about.
29:19That's awesome.
29:20You and Mark?
29:21Yeah, me and Mark.
29:23And you, if you want to come.
29:29Uh, sorry, I'm just springing this on you right now.
29:32I'm springing this whole trip on myself, to be honest.
29:34Oh yeah, no, that's okay.
29:35I, um...
29:37I was going to leave at dawn.
29:38Yeah, I just got to see about something first.
29:43Yeah, of course.
29:45I'm not saying no.
29:46No, no, no, I get it.
29:48Okay.
29:49So dawn?
29:51Yeah.
30:20Where in the world have you been?
30:21Yeah, we were waiting for you.
30:22I just had to see about something.
30:25All right, well, let's get to it.
30:26If this goes as planned, we'll be on our way to our private island like we always dreamed of.
30:30I can't wait.
30:32You okay?
30:33Yeah, I'm great.
30:34Uh, let's get this started.
30:36Are you ready?
30:37Not everything has to be a reveal, Ricky.
30:41Oh yes, it does.
30:46Okay.
30:48Good reveal.
30:50Follow me.
30:55One of the reasons we rented this loft was that it came with all this space.
31:03And we needed it for this.
31:09This is unbelievable.
31:11A complete replica of Ashford's office.
31:13It's my Venus to Milo.
31:15My David.
31:16And our ticket to a brighter future.
31:18Because, kids, somewhere in this office is the key to unlocking Ashford's millions.
31:23Yeah.
31:24And all we got to do is find it.
31:34All right, I need you both to tell me everything.
31:37Don't leave out a single detail.
31:39I want to bask in the glory of your brilliance.
31:42Okay, if you remember, after I told you that Ashford was brought to the morgue
31:45under his alias Uriah Heap, I took his watch.
31:48Yeah, he loved that watch.
31:50He never took it off.
31:51And we know why.
31:52It wasn't just a regular watch.
31:53It's a con man's watch.
31:56It has a secret compartment.
31:58Almost impossible to detect.
32:01When I opened it, this was inside.
32:03It's a memory card.
32:04There were two things loaded onto it.
32:05The video's Ashford, recorded for you, and a link to an offshore bank account.
32:10Ashford's bank account.
32:11From what I remember, over the years, he must have put 100 mil in there.
32:14Maybe more.
32:14We're about to find out.
32:17To access the account, there are 12 passwords that need to be entered in the correct order.
32:21But if we make three mistakes, the link shuts down.
32:24And what happens then?
32:25Whatever's sitting in that account will be lost forever.
32:27And before you even ask, it's impossible to hack, even for me.
32:31How the hell are we supposed to figure out 12 random passwords?
32:33They could be anything.
32:34You're right.
32:35No, I don't want to be right.
32:36But you are.
32:37It's impossible.
32:38You're wrong.
32:39I thought you said I was right.
32:40It's impossible for most people.
32:42But we are not most people.
32:43Amen.
32:44When we told you the SD card contained video diaries and a link to his bank account, you
32:49said they had to be connected.
32:51Oh, absolutely.
32:51Ashford wasn't prone to sentimentality.
32:53To him, everything was a challenge.
32:55A test of your worthiness.
32:57Well, with that in mind, we started watching the videos over and over to see what we could
33:02find.
33:03It took us a long time.
33:03We just couldn't find a connection.
33:05But then, the clues started to emerge.
33:08Everything you need to know is always right in front of you.
33:13You just have to look more closely.
33:15We realized he was trying to say the answers are in the videos.
33:19Everything meant something.
33:21Every word.
33:22Everything we could see.
33:23It was just up to us to figure it out.
33:25So where in Sam Hill do you start?
33:26That was the question.
33:28The first part was staring us in the face.
33:31The office?
33:32Mm-hmm.
33:33Ashford could have recorded each video sitting behind his desk or on a chair.
33:37That would have been the easiest thing to do.
33:39He could have just set a camera up and pressed record.
33:41But instead, he moved it every time.
33:44Look.
33:46He wanted us to see every inch of the space.
33:48Mm-hmm.
33:49So while I set up this room, Max was figuring out how to decipher the clues.
33:53The first penny dropped when I sprained my ankle and I couldn't walk.
33:57I had a lot of time to watch Ashford's videos.
33:59I suppose I've always admired the indifference of time to the weight of memory.
34:03No matter what.
34:05It just keeps on ticking.
34:10Wait, did I see what I think I just saw?
34:13Watch it again.
34:14It just keeps on ticking.
34:20The watch moves.
34:22The desk.
34:22It's magnetized.
34:24Ashford let us see that on purpose.
34:26That's how we knew it had to be a key to the puzzle.
34:28Most things in this room are replicas, but I knew we had to have the actual desk.
34:34It wasn't easy, but I managed to get it shipped here.
34:36This is his real desk?
34:38Yep.
34:38Show him, Ricky.
34:40This watch has multiple facets, which means the etchings on the glass refract light in very particular directions.
34:49But it depends on where the light source is coming from.
34:52The magnet in the desk locks the watch into place.
34:55But if we don't know the correct angle of the light source, we won't get the right answer.
35:00So how do we figure that out?
35:02He told us that too.
35:03Time has always been a critical part of my life and profession, of course.
35:07Timing.
35:07Security guards making the rounds.
35:09A countdown to an alarm trigger.
35:11The position of the sun as it beams through a window.
35:14So the light source is a sunbeam through that window.
35:17Exactly.
35:18But the sun's position is different depending on the hour of day, your location on Earth, and the time of
35:23year.
35:24So how did you figure all that out?
35:25And that little voice inside of you, that thing we call instinct, is trying to guide you with confidence.
35:34See where he touched the glow?
35:36I zoomed in, and voila.
35:39So, we know Bermuda.
35:42Next, we just needed to figure out the day.
35:44Maybe because I'm getting older, or maybe because today is Father's Day.
35:50Father's Day.
35:50The third Sunday of every June.
35:53Now what about the time?
35:54So, everywhere in his office, you see a bunch of clocks.
35:57But if you look closely, each clock is set to 2.36, and it never changes.
36:02So, if it's 2.36 p.m. on Father's Day in Bermuda,
36:08the sun is shining through that window exactly like so.
36:25Wow.
36:28Oh, you guys are geniuses.
36:39Okay, so each shaft of light corresponds with an hour on the clock phase.
36:44If you look around, each one falls on a particular object.
36:47We believe those objects are the passwords we need to access the bank account.
36:53Now this is as far as we got.
36:54Everything's new from here on in.
36:56All right.
36:57Let's give it a shot, guys.
36:58Okay, so 1 o'clock would be there.
37:00That's an hourglass.
37:05Hourglass.
37:11Yes!
37:12It worked!
37:13You guys are geniuses.
37:15Yep.
37:16That didn't sound good.
37:17What'd you do, Ricky?
37:18I didn't do anything.
37:19It's a countdown timer.
37:20Another challenge.
37:21What's next?
37:22Snakes?
37:22Okay, we gotta move quickly.
37:23Don't forget, we only have three strikes.
37:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:25Stop wasting time.
37:26Let's go.
37:27Okay, okay, okay.
37:272 o'clock.
37:29That's a fox.
37:30Yeah.
37:34Yes, yes, yes, yes.
37:42Show me here.
37:453 o'clock.
37:46Conch.
37:47Conch.
37:47It doesn't matter.
37:49It's seashell.
37:50Seashell it is?
37:55Damn it!
37:56We only have two more mistakes.
37:58It must be Conch.
38:01No, no, wait.
38:03Ashford wasn't a superstitious man,
38:04but there was one lucky charm
38:05he carried with him everywhere.
38:07It was a shell he picked up in Fiji.
38:09He was on a boat.
38:10It capsized.
38:10He nearly drowned.
38:11He came to on the beach,
38:13nearly dead,
38:13with a seashell in his hand.
38:15He never found out
38:15how that seashell got there,
38:17but he always thanked Fiji
38:18for saving his life.
38:20This is a failsafe.
38:21He's testing me.
38:22The answer is Fiji.
38:31Four o'clock.
38:32Hat?
38:33No.
38:35Fedora.
38:35Ashford loved a good fedora.
38:41Yes.
38:41Okay.
38:42Five o'clock.
38:43Buzz.
38:44Face.
38:44It doesn't matter.
38:45Who cares?
38:48Yes, yes.
38:49Okay, um, six o'clock.
38:53Book.
38:55Damn it.
38:56If we get this wrong,
38:58we lose everything.
38:58If it's not book,
38:59what is it?
39:00I got it.
39:00Our rebels now are ended.
39:03These are actors,
39:04as I foretold you,
39:05were all spirits
39:06and are now melted
39:08into thin air.
39:09Ashford quoted Shakespeare's
39:10The Tempest
39:11in one of his videos.
39:12That was his favorite play.
39:13It's got to be Tempest.
39:15It's got to be.
39:16Uh, uh.
39:20Yes, yes, yes.
39:22Okay, seven o'clock.
39:23Camera.
39:25Eight o'clock.
39:27Telescope.
39:29Okay, uh,
39:30nine o'clock.
39:31Window.
39:34Ten.
39:35Uh, clock.
39:38Eleven o'clock.
39:39Globe.
39:40No, no, wait.
39:46Asford never missed
39:47his nightly scotch.
39:48Try scotch.
39:49Are you sure?
39:50Yes.
39:55Yes!
39:56Yes!
39:58Okay, last one.
40:00There's no more beams of light.
40:02Okay, well,
40:02what could the password be?
40:03Okay, guys,
40:04there's only 90 seconds left.
40:06Yeah.
40:20Okay, Dad,
40:21thank you.
40:22You knew him
40:22better than anybody.
40:23Um,
40:24Asford always said
40:25that every con
40:26came down to one thing.
40:27Unraveling what's
40:28most important
40:28to your mark.
40:29What's most important?
40:31What's the last word?
40:33What's the last word?
40:34And you know,
40:35I do love
40:36to have the last word.
40:37I know what it is.
40:41Dad,
40:43it's you.
40:44After all these years,
40:45he came back here
40:46just for you.
40:48He loved you,
40:49and he wanted you
40:49to know that.
40:50All of this
40:51is about you,
40:53even the last word.
40:54I'm so proud of you
40:55and the man
40:57you have become.
41:00Take care, George.
41:04Ricky,
41:05try George.
41:28Uh, guys, it's, uh, it's a hundred and three million.
41:34It's a hundred and three million!
41:36A hundred and three million! How do you do that?
41:47Honey, what's wrong? Why aren't you happy?
41:49Of course I am.
41:51So why don't you look happy?
41:55I need to let you go.
41:57What do you mean?
41:58Go. Honey, go to him. I'll be fine.
42:03I love you, Dad.
42:04Yeah, I love you too, sweetheart.
42:06As soon as your mom was still alive to see this.
42:08Me too.
42:12I love you.
42:18Was I crazy to think she was gonna show?
42:41Mom?
42:41Mom?
42:43Who's gonna pick you up when you fall?
42:55You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong.
43:07Who's gonna drive you home tonight?
43:13Good night.
43:14Good night.
43:15Good night.
43:31Good night.
