Where are they thinking?

Uh...

There.

But there was also
a noose there.

How would he do it there?

Supposedly, leaning forward.

He was using his weight.

How do they not know

if he hung himself
from the window or the bed?

Well, because there were nooses
in both places.

What nooses?

Well, he-he made them
from bedsheets.

A guard cut him free
and tried to revive him.

-And the guard can't tell us?
-He's being prosecuted.

Can we... can we get
a photo of that?

- Sure.
- They're lying!

-They're all lying.
-Shut up.

Back away.

- How many prisoners per cell?
- Two...

in the Special Housing Unit.

But no one in that cell?

Correct.

And when was
the second prisoner removed?

-The day before.
-Why?

He was released.

This prison
is massively overcrowded?

-Mm.
-And no one was put
in that cell?

So he was on suicide watch,

but he was allowed to be
in that cell by himself?

He was taken off watch
a week later.

And that video camera, that's
the one that wasn't working?

-Yes.
-And we don't know why?

But there was
another video camera?

Yes.

But you don't have the footage

-from this one?
-No.

But Bill Barr has reviewed it,
and he saw nothing unusual.

No one entering the SHU
or exiting.

-The attorney general saw this?
-Yes.

But we can't see it?

It wasn't made available
to my department.

You're the U.S. attorney, and it
wasn't made available to you?

Yes.

Look, Liz, that's why
I need you to review this.

We thought that the media
attention would die down,

but it's been nine months,
and the reporters keep calling

and asking,
"Did he kill himself,

or was Jeffrey Epstein
murdered?"

So, why me?

- We're objective.
- That's right.

I need my own Warren Commission.

This is a printout
of Epstein's little black book.

It has every name
of every lawyer

worth his salt in New York.

You worked for me in Chicago.

-You pushed me out in Chicago.
-Yes, but I remember

you came to me five years ago
and you told me,

"We should arrest
Jeffrey Epstein."

You wanted to investigate
his sexual transporting

of underage girls.

You were ahead of all of us.

You kept saying,
"We need to protect the girls,"

and I said,
"No, he's too connected."

Well, here's our chance
to correct that.

-Yeah, well, it's a little late.
-You do a good job here, Liz,

I can imply but not promise

that there could be other work
for your firm.

A lot of work.

Epstein died in this cell.

Did he commit suicide,
or was he murdered?

You have a budget of $400,000,

and 133,000 pages of evidence.

And if I decide
that he was murdered?

-I won't censor you.
-Even if I find out

that it was done
by powerful people?

Follow the evidence
wherever it takes you.

I need outside-the-box thinking.

-How long do I have?
-Two weeks.

- Brief me in a week,
I'll get you more time.

But I need something.

Something 60 Minutes
doesn't have.

All right, you...

You told me that I could
interview somebody

who knew Epstein in prison?

Yes. This way.

No, no, no, no. I want him.

No. That's Niko.

-He's a liar.
-Yeah, it's better if you
talk to someone else.

Was Niko there that night?

Then-then I want to talk to him.

He used to stand
just inside that door.

We talked a lot.

He gave me investment advice
about index funds

that I'm definitely
going to follow.

Do you remember anything
about the night that he died?

He was kind of chatty
that night, said he, uh,

had doubts about the Jets'
starting quarterback.

And then he said
something weird.

He said, right before
he was arrested, on his jet,

he took care of
the most important thing.

What was that?

I have no idea.

Any idea what this is about?

Nope.

But an unscheduled
midweek meeting?

Never good.

The coffee's better up here,
though, huh?

Mm.

Ah, good morning. Thank you
for starting your day with me.

I will make this quick.

You are the heads of all
of our major departments,

and you're doing an amazing job.

That... Yes.

Yes. Applause. Indeed, indeed.

Well-deserved. Worth it.

I have very good news
for everyone.

-Here it comes.
-One of the reasons

for these mergers is the great

opportunity for synergy.

It gives us the-the chance
to hone our operations,

to create greater communication,
to maximize profits.

I mean, y-you carefully sand
a piece of wood

in order to reduce
the chance of slivers.

Now, as department heads,

I want you to take a look at
your lawyers and associates,

and then I want you to come
back to me with suggestions

for reductions of 20%.

We've made copies
of your personnel lists.

Just go through them.

Put an "X" next to

whoever you think
we might be able to reduce.

We will handle notification,
severance packages and the like.

Now, look, there are
exciting days ahead.

Let us remember
the words of the master:

"Only when we are soft
and pliable

can we be hard and strong."

You're dictating
our staffing levels.

I don't consider it dictating.

-What do you consider it?
-Stewardship.

Which, by the way, significantly
increases all our incomes.

Except for the people
who are fired.

You can't force us to lay off
20% of our employees.

-How do you figure?
-Because we agreed
that for the first year,

we would be allowed
to supervise our own shop.

-It's in our contract.
-And you are.

I'm not telling you
who to let go.

Just put an "X" by their name.

We'll take care
of the rest of it.

♪ ♪

There are so many files
to go through here.

This is just
the first truckload.

We're gonna be at this
for weeks.

We're gonna need a system
to get this organized.

Who wrote all these reports?

Oh, there it is. All right.

Okay, let's put the... let's put
the medical evidence here,

we'll put the correspondence
here, and let's put

the interviews
with the prison officials here.

I've never worked on
a case this famous before.

-I know, right?
-This is criminal charges

- and victims' accounts?
- Okay, why don't you get

a team of three
and go through all of that?

Okay, look, find any evidence

that argues for murder
or suicide, you put it here.

Murder. He was killed
by the Trumps.

Oh, come on.
- You blame everything
on the Trumps.

Nobody in Trumpland is organized
enough to pull this off.

Why not the Clintons?
You sound like
right-wing talk radio.

Bill was on
the Lolita Express, too.

Hey! Wait, no.

No. No conspiracy theories,

no... no insane charges.

Everything we do, we need
evidence, so let's start here.

Epstein was a middle-aged
white man.

That is the demographic
most likely to die by suicide.

It says here suicide rate
in pretrial jails

is three times higher
than in other prisons.

Yes, but the last suicide
in that jail was 21 years ago.

It was unusual.

Yeah, but Epstein knew
that he was going

to prison for the rest
of his life.

So let's not rule out
the simplest explanation.

Actually, there are
two autopsy reports.

One by a private examiner.

-Paid for by the family?
-So?

Maybe he's just telling them
what they want to hear.

He thinks that
Epstein's injuries

are more consistent
with homicide.

Broken blood vessels
in the eyes,

broken hyoid bone
and cartilage.

But the official report
says that injuries like that

- are not unusual in hanging.
- They got a reason

-to protect their own asses.
-Key words there
are "official report."

Look, why is it so hard
to believe that a professional,

well-respected medical examiner
could be telling the truth?

Look, Epstein ties his bedsheets
into a noose, right?

Then he tied it around his neck.

It's not gonna be
a clean, sharp cut like this.

His weight is gonna
push the noose up like that.

Uh, actually, I feel like...

Guys.

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

Wait, wait. You guys.

He could've... he could've
paid someone else

-to break his neck.
-Or someone had him killed.

-Oh, back to Trump again.
-Well, of course
it goes back to Trump.

If the tiny glove fits...

All right, l-let's...
let's stay on track.

Liz, Liz, uh, we need to talk.

Oh. All right. Just, uh,
give me... give me one minute.

We start with the obvious.

But suicide isn't the obvious.

That's just
the official version.

This is everything
that had to go wrong

for Epstein to commit suicide.

Start with the suicide attempt
a few weeks earlier.

This was July 23, right after
he'd been denied bail.

They found him unconscious
in his cell.

There was video
of this suicide attempt...

Isn't that the video
of his actual suicide?

No, this was a week earlier.

It's a different missing video.

They put him on suicide watch
for less than a week.

Then Epstein was
taken off suicide watch

and placed...

So, everyone gets a cellmate

except for the suicidal man?

It's the worst jail in America.

What do you expect?

Reportedly understaffed

as a result of a hiring freeze
imposed by who?

- The Trump administration.
- Why am I not surprised?

- Why am I not surprised?
- The second M.E. said

that the noose found
in the autopsy report

did not match the wounds
on his neck.

That is consistent
with homicide.

Who cares about
the autopsy report?

-Um, uh...
-Hey, guys.

There is another way
to look at this.

Now, everybody loves a puzzle.

I get that.

Everybody loves the secret word
that solves everything.

But let's not call conspiracy

something that could
just as easily be described

as incompetence.

Now, look, I have workers
come to my house every week.

I mean, every damn week
to fix a broken faucet.

They say they fixed it.
About a week goes by,

I have to call somebody else
to fix their work.

That's not a conspiracy.
That is incompetence.

People do just enough work
to get by.

So the camera was broken
outside of Epstein's cell.

Incompetence.

The guards were surfing the Web,
and then they fell asleep.

Incompetence.

The prison didn't secure
the crime scene.

Incompetence.
I mean, that is America.

Okay.

All right, so we start
with suicide.

I want to agree with Adrian.

I'm not into
conspiracy theories,

but, um...

let's just look at 2006.

Epstein got arrested
for abusing underage girls,

and guess what happened.

He was let off with

a single count of prostitutio.

The FBI found 34 victims
and could have found more,

but they were shut down.

We believe that
we proceeded appropriately.

Epstein was supposed
to go to prison,

but he got let out every day

and raped more underage girls.

And then, for eight years,
he was supposed to check in

with the New York Police

every 90 days because
he was a Level 3 sex offender.

And you know how often
he checked in?

Never.

So, what are you saying?

Well, we all
have to obey the law.

I mean, if we're told that
we have to check in

with the police every 90 days,
we do it.

But certain people
don't have to.

They're given special treatment.

Epstein had friends
in high places,

and then they stopped being
his friends, and they started

worrying about him.

And that's why he's dead.

Well, I'm so glad
you don't believe in...

conspiracy theories.

That is America.

That is not incompetence.

It's a special fucking off-ramp
for the well-connected.

Okay.

All right, let's just...

split into three groups:

medical evidence,

post-death facts,
pretrial facts.

Facts.

So... we were just upstairs

for a synergy talk.

Okay. What does that mean?

We have to reduce
our payroll by 20%.

- What? Wha...
- Yep. 20.

Payroll? What, as-as-as in
office space or...?

No, no. Lawyers.

So we've been putting
some initial thoughts together,

seeing if there's anybody
we could agree on.

Well, we can agree we're not
gonna lose 20% of our lawyers.

We have a lot of paralegals.

-What about Goldie?
-No. She's really bright

and has excellent
research skills,

and paralegals aren't gonna
get us there.

-I for one could lose Kevin.
-Are you kidding?

The-the associates
look up to him.

We'd have a mutiny on our hands.

-Uh, Lucy?
-No. No.

- In fact, she deserves a raise.
- This is gonna look like

a disaster to our clients.

Like the firm is going down

and we're throwing
the ballast over.

Yeah, I know.

So.... who do we let go?

Have you heard from
any character witnesses yet?

We talked to one
of his friends in prison.

-Epstein had a friend in prison?
-Epstein told him
he took care of

the most important thing on
the jet before he got arrested.

-What was the most
important thing?
-No idea,

but he was arrested getting off
of his private jet at Teterboro.

That was the last time
he was free.

So I was thinking
we should go through

the police photos of the arrest,
see who else was on the jet.

I guess he could have talked
to one of his staff members.

What?

I know him.

Wha... Who is it?

Andreas.

Hairdresser to the stars.

How do you know
a hairdresser to the stars?

Bianca?

So, Julius,
you're a federal employee.

Is what you're
coming forward with

based on a reasonable belief

that there's been a violation
of the law, gross mismanagement

or abuse of authority?

So fraud, waste or abuse?

Abuse of authority.

I am all ears.

What exactly
is he protected from?

Anything that
constitutes retaliation.

-5-USC-2302 makes it
a federal crime.
-And who enforces this?

The Office of
the Inspector General.

That would be me.

Okay.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

There is a document
titled Memo 618.

What do you need?

Hi. Is Andreas in?

-What time is your appointment?
-Oh, uh,

no, I don't...
I don't have an appointment.

Ma'am, Andreas is booked
two months in advance.

Uh, I can pencil
a consultation in

for... September.

Tell him it's Lucca Quinn
from Saint Lucia.

Yeah, unfortunately,
Andreas is quite busy.

Maybe another time.

Tell him I'm... Bianca's friend.

Yeah, there's a lady here
who said she's Bianca's friend.

- Lucca Quinn.
- Lucca!

- Andreas, hi.
- Hi.

Uh, reschedule Mrs. Roth
for tomorrow.

-Oh, she just had her hair wash.
-Well, then, blow-dry it

-and tell her I'm busy.
-Oh, no, I don't need a cut.

-I just have a-a question.
-Come back, come back.

Sorry.
I-I didn't know who you were.

She's new. I'm firing her.

-Oh, no, not for me.
-No, not because of you.

'Cause she's useless.
Get out of the chair.

Go ahead. Go. Go.

Thank you.

Sit.

How long? Three weeks?

Uh, yeah, but I'm thinking
of growing it out.

I see some damage here.

Adona shampoo?

-Janguree conditioner?
-Yes.

You might as well pour concrete
on your hair.

These. Use these.

Thank you.

Uh, but I'm here
about one of your clients.

Oh, Bianca hasn't been in
in a week.

Oh, no. Um, Jeffrey Epstein?

Get out of here.

He is unequivocally
not an official client.

I only cut his hair
as a favor to Ghislaine.

I don't want to get caught up
in any of his mess.

Yeah, but you were
on a flight with him

-right before his arrest.
-It was a midflight haircut.

He knew he was being arrested.
He wanted to look good.

Plus, prison haircuts
are just brutal.

Who else was on the flight?

I shouldn't be
talking about this.

-It's not safe.
-Okay.

On the plane, did Epstein
seem nervous? Worried?

No, no, I was the one
that was nervous.

-Why?
-Because...

-Nothing.
-Andreas, what?

Nothing.

You are lying,
and you're terrible at it.

Just lean in toward me
and whisper.

I can't.

I'll tell you a secret
if you tell me yours.

What secret?

No, you first.

He gave me an envelope.

Epstein did? Why?

No, y-your turn.

I played poker with four
of the most powerful women

-in the world.
-Fuck you. You did not.

Bianca and who else?

Why would he give you
an envelope?

-Beyoncé?
-No.

It better not be
some political woman,

-someone I don't know.
-You'll know all of them.

Andreas, tell me.

He...

He knew Ghislaine
was a friend of mine

and that she'd be in
in a couple of weeks

to pick it up-- the envelope.
But she never showed.

I think she's in hiding.

Or dead.

So, you still have it?

Can I see it?

You never opened it?

No.

Maybe I should hold on to it.

This video is to establish
chain of custody for an envelope

reportedly given
by Jeffrey Epstein

to his employee and girlfriend,
Ghislaine Maxwell.

It is Thursday, May 21, 2020,

and we have been given
permission by Wilbur Dincon,

U.S. attorney for the
Southern District of New York,

to open this envelope and record
its contents in accordance

with our mission
as investigators

of Mr. Epstein's death.
Go ahead.

All right,
the envelope is now open.

And, uh...

There appears to be
a key inside.

No apparent markings.

And, uh...

there's a ten-digit number
on the other side.

Okay.

All right.

There appears to be

an eight-and-a-half-by-11
letter folded in thirds.

Nothing on the outside
of the letter.

We will now open the letter.

And....

there is handwriting
on the inside,

which reads...

"If I'm dead,

watch out for Bud."

Whoa, who's Bud?

- The killer?
- We are now

comparing the handwriting

to the last note
Mr. Epstein wrote in his cell,

and they appear to be written
by the same hand.

Wait, what's that?

What is that?

What is that?

Is it a code?

"Lady M.S."

Or a-a bank account?

Maybe.

And who is Lady M.S.?

A pet name for Ghislaine, maybe?

We have a new lead.

"Bud."

Is it someone
who had it out for Epstein?

Why would he fear him?

Uh, let's see,
I'll take, uh, Mike,

John, Damian and Linda
to pursue that lead.

All right, who wants
to check these numbers?

This could be a bank account.
Cayman Islands? Uh, a safe?

We can take that.
Epstein was always trying

to hide money from his victims.

Plus, those underage girls
are still trying

to recover damages,
so a hidden account means

-more to recover.
-Good, and last, the key.

-What does it open?
-Uh, Marissa and I have the key.

Okay, good. Good, good, good.

All right, let's get moving.
We'll get back

-together this afternoon.
-Hey, Liz?

-Hey, we need to...
-Okay, all right.

Anything you can find.

Bud-- dead or alive.

This is a manufacturer's stamp.

-We should be able to track down
where it was made.
-Good.

Did you hear?

What?

We are all going to be fired.

- What?
- They're laying off 40%.

Just paralegals, right?

-No, us.
-What about investigators?

Fuck you. It all comes down
to you, doesn't it?

-Oh, my God!
-That's what they're
in there talking about.

Who to fire.

Rosalyn has the fewest
billable hours.

Oh, because she had
an appendectomy.

We don't fire people
because they're sick.

Felicia-- she's
the newest associate.

-And the smartest.
-Mm.

J-Just...

You know, we do have
two investigators.

What if we refuse to do this?

And get dismissed by our firm?

No.

What if we buy ourselves out?

Our merger agreement stipulates
that partnership rights revert

Not a $20 million year.

You know, Dincon implied
more work could come our way

if we come through
with this Epstein review.

And if we get a bank loan
for the rest...

Our bank won't do that.

they might.

-Promise of future profits?
-Maybe. Let me...

really odd moment of déjà vu.

How'd that work out?

We made promises
we couldn't keep.

Yep.

Yeah, this is one of mine.

My manufacturer stamp's
right there.

Can you tell us who ordered it?

The cheap fucker
died owing me $190.

Add that to his rap sheet.

-Epstein?
-I'm not saying,

but... yeah.

Is there any way to match
a key to a property

-or a locker or anything?
-No.

But even if there was,
I couldn't tell you anything.

What if we paid his bill?

Okay, uh, $190.

With tax, 202.

I only have 45.

Oh, okay.

Uh, what's this key to?

Mm, in the hand first.

What is it to?

No idea.

-Oh, come on!
-We probably cut

300 of these for his homes
all over the world.

-Thanks for nothing.
-Talk to his architect.

She's the one
who wanted them cut.

She probably knows more.

"If I'm dead,
watch out for Bud."

Who is Bud?

What have we found?

Nothing-- no known associates,

- no family, no friends.
- And no one from prison.

Well, have you checked
Prince Andrew's people?

And anyone connected
to Ghislaine.

What if, instead of a name,

it's... it's initials?

I mean, "Bud," it's all in caps.

Well, if it's B.U.D.,
then we should be

looking at last names
beginning with "D"

in Epstein's little black book.

"Dafoe"-- I found a lawyer,

Benjamin Dafoe,

but there's no
middle name listed.

Got him-- his Wikipedia page.

"Benjamin Ulrich Dafoe."

Oh.

I'll call him.

Are you sure this is

an official investigation?
Because I've been dealing with

a lot of lookie-loos
who want an Epstein souvenir.

-No, I...
-Or worse, they come in

pretending they want
a consultation

just so they can yell at me,

"How could you enable
that predator?!"

Did Epstein ever mention
anyone named Bud?

Someone he might have
been afraid of?

No, but he never confided in me.

Especially after 1992.

He said everything
went bad after November.

-Why 1992?
-He didn't say.

These are all the properties
I designed for him.

I wanted to be his Julia Morgan.

I wanted to give him
his own Hearst Castle.

But Epstein's taste was shit,
disgusting.

Cantera stone! Cantera stone!

Fountains from
an Orange County mall.

Can't be Julia Morgan
when your patron is an idiot.

What are these?

Well, his various properties.

Epstein definitely got weirder
as he got older.

The Zorro ranch in New Mexico,

what a nightmare.

That's where he wanted
a maternity ward

for all his young pregnancies.

Now, if you don't mind,

I'm designing
an airport in Norway.

Certainly.

I'm so sorry. I just left

-Why me to tell Boseman?

What is this?

Space Relations.

It's a novel that Bill Barr's
father wrote in the '70s.

Wait, Attorney General
Bill Barr?

Yeah.

It's about sex slaves in space.

-How do you know this?
-I like sci-fi.

The hero's love interest in it
is called "Lady Morgan Sidney."

Is that just a coincidence?

Well, Donald Barr
wrote the novel

when he was headmaster
at Dalton,

which is where he hired
Jeffrey Epstein to be teacher.

Wait. William Barr's father
hired Epstein

-to work with children?
-Yes.

I think Epstein
was telling Ghislaine

to find something in this book.

It's how they probably
communicated secretly.

So, what do these numbers mean?

Yes, I'm Benjamin

Ulrich Dafoe, but trust me,

no one has ever called me "Bud."

And no one has ever needed
to "watch out" for me.

Especially not that asshole.

When did you decide your
former client was an asshole?

Probably about the time
he ditched me for Dershowitz.

At least I didn't get a massage,
like that shyster.

And for the purposes
of any potential lawsuit,

"shyster" is just my opinion,
not a statement of fact.

Then Epstein had
some two-bit lawyer

in the Virgin Islands
redo his will.

Why did he do that?

Mm, if Epstein's estate

was set up
in the Virgin Islands,

his victims would have
a hard time

getting at his money.

Alleged victims.

He was a vindictive
motherfucker.

It makes sense he wouldn't want
those girls getting his money.

And he put a lot of thought into
what would happen after he died.

Did he ever mention
somebody he was afraid of?

He was afraid of everyone.

-He had something on everyone.
-Anyone named Bud?

No, but I heard him
mention Bud a few times.

In what context?

Look, I'll tell you
if you promise

you'll take down Dershowitz.

Why? Is he Bud?

No, but I still hate his guts.

The guy would sell
his grandmother

to suck up
to the rich and famous.

And for the purposes
of any potential lawsuit,

that's just my opinion,
not a statement of fact.

Mr. Dafoe, Bud.

Right. Epstein.

He was obsessed with the future.

Uh, he kept trying
to get a professor

at the U of C on the payroll.

Um, Ira Nofzinger.

Epstein loved that guy--
he kept talking to him

-on the phone about Bud.
-In what way?

No idea.
I mean, Epstein had that ranch

in New Mexico, 10,000 acres.

He was gonna impregnate
a hundred young girls,

try to keep
his dynasty alive, whatever.

It's not my business.
Talk to Nofzinger.

And remember,
watch out for Dershowitz.

That asshole will sue you
at the drop of a hat.

And for the purposes of any
potential lawsuit, "asshole,"

-that's just my opinion,
not a statement...
-Okay.

All right, these numbers
are in groups of three.

-Mm-hmm.
-And notice how
the first numbers are larger--

uh, 204, 161, 165--

and the last
of the three numbers are lower,

lower than 12?

-Yeah. Meaning?
-My guess is,

the first number's
a page number,

second number is
how many lines down,

and the last number is how many
words across on that line.

Let's try it.

First number: 81.

Eighty... one.

-Next number: 31.
-31.

-11.
-11.

"Call."

Julius Cain.

Officers?
Is everything all right?

- You're under arrest.
- For what?

Please turn around, sir.
Show me your hands.

When I search you,

is there anything
that will stick me?

There must be some confusion.
I'm a judge.

-Turn around, sir, now.
-Wait, wait, wait.

I need to make a phone call.

You need to follow
instructions, sir.

-I... Hey! I need...
-Turn around.

-Get your hands up now.
-Hey! Wait! Stop...

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you

in a court of law.

-Uh, 25.
-25.

Okay, and that's
the last one. Six.

-"Hours."
-"Hours."

What do you got?

"Call Bill.

"He will have...

12 hours."

What do you think?

Bill? Bill Barr.

I mean, it's his
father's novel, right?

Do you ever feel like
this is getting out of hand?

Like the more we dig,
the more there is to dig?

I don't know,
but what can we do

but keep digging?

I deeply regret ever
associating with him.

But, hey, Stephen Hawking
was his friend.

He even went down to Epstein's
island in the Caribbean.

So, if Hawking could do it,
why couldn't I?

Well, we heard he enjoyed
spending time with you.

I think he liked being
on our campus.

He used to show up
in a Harvard sweatshirt.

He never went there.
I checked.

He had the scientific mind
of a teenage boy.

He was into alien abductions,
cryonics.

I told him, you can't reanimate
frozen tissue, not yet.

We're still experimenting.

But he was intent
on living forever,

-coming back like Disney.
-And the ranch in New Mexico?

His absolute favorite topic
was eugenics.

He wanted to impregnate
20 exceptional, high-IQ women.

We heard Epstein kept talking
to you about "Bud."

No.

I remember him saying,
"I got to look after Bud,"

but I didn't know
who he was talking about.

Wait, wait.
Uh, did he say "look after Bud"

or "look out for Bud"?

I don't...
What's the difference?

Was Bud someone
that he was afraid of,

or was it someone
he was protecting?

I don't know.

Okay, so what if we were wrong
about Bud?

What if Epstein meant
"defend Bud,"

-not "beware of him"?
-And-and if that's true,

then does that change anything
for our teams? Anyone?

-Lucca?
-No, not for us, but we do think

we deciphered the numbers
in the envelope.

Really? What?

Jay?

Uh, we think "Lady M.S." refers
to Lady Morgan Sidney

in a sci-fi novel
about sex slaves

called Space Relations.

-What?
-It's a book written by

Donald Barr, the father
of Attorney General Bill Barr.

-What the fuck?
-We think the numbers were a way

for Epstein and Ghislaine
to communicate.

It's a simple book cipher.

It translates as...

"Call Bill.
He will have 12 hours."

Bill who?

Bill Barr-- which means
this could be about Trump.

Oh, God, back to Trump again.

Well, who else?
Think about Dershowitz.

-He defended Epstein and Trump.
-What about the other Bill?

Bill Clinton. They both
had something to worry about

-from Epstein.
-Oh, God, the biggest
conspiracy theory in history.

-What about Prince Andrew?
-Yeah, let's just dig up

-Vince Foster and ask him.
-Can we start narrowing

our focus?
I mean, this is sounding

- a bit Pizzagate-ish.
- Epstein was part

of a global pedophile ring
that was supported

by intelligence services,
and that is Pizzagate.

-But a real one.
-Where are you getting
intelligence services?

Those are Alex Acosta's words.
He was the federal prosecutor

who gave Epstein
such a light plea deal

- back in Florida.
- And the man

that Trump made
his Labor Secretary.

-Oh, my God. Trump.
-Okay, okay, can we just

keep it to one conspiracy theory
at a time, please.

Acosta told people that Epstein
belonged to intelligence.

That's why the underage girls...

Donald Barr was OSS,
and Bill Barr was CIA.

- That's it.
- Okay. Oh, um, Marissa,

-do you have anything
on the key?
-I do.

It led to Epstein's architect,
who had this.

What is this?
His Manhattan home?

No, it looks like his temple
on his island in the Caribbean.

-He has a temple?
-Yeah. Here.
-What is it for?

- No one knows.
- Maybe sex, maybe music.

-Okay, so this-this...
this is a dead end?
-Not necessarily.

-I'll look into it.
-No. No. We-we need to have
some dead ends.

-I mean, this is...
this is getting nuts.
-Oh, and there was

one other thing:
the architect said

Epstein told her everything
went south for him in 1992.

-What happened then?
-No idea. She didn't say.

Wait.

-Did she say what month?
-Yeah.

November. Why?

-What's going on?
-Nothing.

It's just a thought to pursue.

Eli Gold had a friend
who was a cheerleader.

-Okay.
-I have to ask Marissa

if she remembers her.

You guys...

we need to talk.

Chase is willing
to lend us ten million.

- Really?
- Yeah.

-Is there a "but"?
-A small one.

The firm's assets
are not enough collateral.

And you look happy because...?

We can still secure the loan
if we use our houses.

-Uh, what?
-Look, they were just estimating
our property values,

- but they believe
that will put us over the line.
This is insane. This is...

-They believe that can get us
over the line.
-No, I am a single mother.

-I am not risking my house.
-Hold on.

Liz, we get the firm back,
we pay the money back.

-How do you know?
-Because I know how much

-we used to take in, Diane.
-"Past performance

does not predict
future results."

Especially with us.

I mean, we lost...
we lost Chumhum,

we had the fallout from my dad.

And let us not forget
why we joined STR Laurie

-in the first place.
-Liz, it's our only move.

Now, we are building revenue
every day.

Now, you say
you've got Dincon engaged.

If we don't get out
from under STR Laurie,

ain't no telling what's next.

They don't value our work,
our-our employees,

our-our history or our culture.

They want us for our black faces
on their diversity reports.

This recently unearthed
footage from November 1992

shows future president
Donald Trump

entertaining Jeffrey Epstein
at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

The two men seem
quite friendly,

dancing, enjoying themselves,

and at one point, apparently
sharing a private joke.

All around them
are cheerleaders

from the Buffalo Bills
and the Miami Dolphins.

Trump now seeks to downplay
his connection to Epstein,

but this footage proves
that they shared

some fun-loving
bachelor moments.

So... so you were there
when Jeffrey Epstein met Trump,

-Mrs. Feldman?
-Oh, yeah.

I was one of the cheerleaders.

Oh, that was a kick.

I mean, Donald
kept getting fresh, but...

Never grabbed my pussy, so...

Ah, I voted for him. Why not?

Did you happen to hear

what they said to each other?

-Who?
-Trump and Epstein.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I was right there.

Uh, I was supposed
to hang on their arms

and make them feel wanted,

and they just kept saying,
"Do you think she's hot?"

"I think she's hot."
"I think she's hot."

That's it?

Yeah, well,
nothing presidential,

if that's what you're wondering.

Um, anything about "Bud"?

How do you know about that?

What?

Bud.

Well, that was
the weirdest thing.

That... that
really stayed with me.

What?

Well, Trump leaned into Jeffee--

oh, I had to call him "Jeffee"--

and, uh, he whispered,

"How's Bud?"
And then Jeffee whispered back,

"No problems."

And that was it.

And why was that weird?

Well, because they both got
really serious.

Like they...
like they had to be careful.

Like they were worried.

Did he have a dog? Maybe they
were talking about his dog.

All we know is that
Trump somehow knew Bud,

or maybe still does, but we
still don't know who Bud is.

I just heard back on 4chan.

What?
What did they say?
- Why are we on 4chan?

Epstein's death
was first reported,

even before
the mainstream media,

by a poster on 4chan,

someone with insider knowledge.

-Is that true?
-Yuh-huh.
And I just wrote to him,

asking if Bill Barr is involved,
and why was 12 hours a deadline?

Okay, okay.
What are we talking about here?

We-we think we may have
deciphered a message.

-I'll-I'll tell you later.
-"Barr picked up Epstein's body

"within 12 hours.

It was taken
to the Virgin Islands."

-The fuck?
-That's why the code read:

"Call Bill.
He'll have 12 hours."

Wait a second, wait a second.
What-what-what's going on?

NBC News reported
that a mysterious associate

picked up Epstein's body
from the medical examiner.

He wouldn't give his name,

and he's never been identified.

And you think the attorney
general of the United States

is that person?

- It makes as much sense
as anything else.

-No, it doesn't.
-Wait, I just wrote
to him, asking,

"I thought Epstein
was buried in Florida,"

and he just wrote back...

"Check the tomb. It's empty."

Oh, come...
What is going on here?

This... N-No. This is crazy.

All these theories are built
on a hairdresser's envelope.

If it's a prank,
then all of this is bullshit.

-The government charges
Julius Cain...
-Judge Cain.

...Julius Cain with violating
Chapter 18, USC 201,

a Chapter 4 felony, punishable
by up to 15 years imprisonment.

We allege he accepted bribes
from a plaintiff

- in an eminent domain case.
- Your Honor,

Judge Cain pleads not guilty

and should be released on bail
to await trial.

He has extensive ties
to the community

and is not a flight risk.

This is retribution?

-For whistleblowing?
-That's my guess.

We left the inspector general,
and the next day I get arrested.

How could they know?
How could... How do they know?

So maybe it's her clerk.

Or...

Or...?

The inspector general.

If that's so, what do I do?

Fight.

That was fast.

So, who are you cutting?

Everyone made
a good-faith effort

to reduce the staff, Gavin,
but in the end, the...

the arrangement
didn't work for us.

No hard feelings.

I don't understand.

Uh, we are prepared to buy
our way out of the partnership,

as enumerated in the contract.

Ah, yes, well,
that is certainly your right.

- Within the first year.
- Good.

And we're ready. We have
the 20 million required.

You mean 80 million.

No, 20 million.

We all signed a merger agreement
that stresses "20 million."

Uh, no.

The contract says 20, provided,
according to clause 46-B,

that all Reddick/Boseman
name partners

earn more in revenue
after the merger

than they did the year prior.

Which we did.

-No, you didn't.
-Oh, my God.

What?

That's why you gave it to me.

It wasn't a gift.
It was a curse.

Fuck.

- Pro bono.
He gave me
pro bono cases

to keep my billable hours low.

Well, I-I also knew
that you'd be good at it, too.

You fucker.

Diane. Name-calling?

We're all on the same side here.

You set me up,
just to keep us from leaving.

I'm a jealous boss.

I don't want you to leave.

I want to cling close to you,
like a vine.

Also, I kind of like
the look on your face

that you were outplayed.

The Zen master said

that "in every experience
there is a lesson."

And the lesson here
is that you three are fucked.

Can... can you call the bank?

Yes.

Liz.

Shit.

As you can see, the amount
of suspicious activity

surrounding Epstein's death
is... it's extraordinary.

The number of things
that went wrong in the prison...

The number of people
that wanted him dead?

And the note he left
Ghislaine Maxwell,

uh, "Watch out for Bud."

Mm, the note he left
with the hairdresser?

Uh, a celebrity hairstylist.

He was also a part

of a global pedophile ring
that was supported

by intelligence services.

Well...

this is very extensive work.

We're nowhere near done.

We'll need at least
a few more weeks.

We have a team down
in the Virgin Islands

checking out Epstein's island.

And we have a key
that we need to check.

And what is this?

Oh, uh, this is a-a code

that reads: "Call Bill.
He will have 12 hours."

Hmm. And what is that from?

It's from a book
Epstein referenced.

It's a novel written
by Bill Barr's father.

It's about space
and-and-and some sex slaves.

And people...

All right, so...

where are we left?

Uh, well, you-you said
you wanted us

-to think outside the box.
-And...?

And, um, well, uh,
Epstein had odd interests,

and he seemed
to want to live forever.

Uh, uh, we're not sure if Bud
is someone he feared

or-or-or something he lost.

Bud seems to be just one piece

of the puzzle
we can't figure out.

Okay.

Why don't we take a pause?

-A pause?
-Yeah.

I think we've gotten
a little lost in the weeds here.

You've done some great work,
but once we get into...

this kind of conjecture,
I can't use it.

I'm sorry.

We will send someone
to pick up your notes

and work product,
along with the materials

left for Ms. Maxwell,
including the key.

We'll have to get that to you.

Fine.

Mr. Dincon?

Hmm?

What is Memo 618?

Why do you ask?

Jeffrey Epstein's life
was built on it.

Then you have your answer.

- You should come home.
- The investigation's over.

DOJ is shutting us down.

But why would they do that?

-We're so close.
-Yeah, well, in hindsight,

I-I think we shouldn't have
let ourselves get carried away.

I mean, what we found might have
been an interesting story,

but it-it doesn't mean
that it was the truth.

-Okay, we'll head back.
-Good.

And bring the key.

Well, as long as we're here,

we might as well
go ahead with it.

Good with me.

Wow.

Not a lot of room for sex
or sacrifices in here.

He never threw anything away.

This is what happens
when you die.

You leave everything
for your relatives to clean up.

"Welcome back, Mr. Epstein,
from 34 students

in period-three science class,
the Dalton School."

"Don't lose the fur coat."

So, this is the room
on the blueprint,

the one that read "Bud"?

-Yeah.
-So, where's Bud?

Bud could be anything.
One of the statues.

One of the packages.

Whatever this thing is in here.

We're never gonna get
through all this.

Uh, give me the key.

What?

Look.

Oh, my God.

We're solving this.
We are solving this, you and I.

Wait, wait, wait.

What do you think
is on the other side?

-Bud.
-Or Epstein.

Bill Barr brought him down here,
and he's alive and hidden,

-like in Parasite.
-Never saw it.

What? How have you not seen it?

-It won the Oscar.
It was a historic win...
-Do you want to open it?

Okay. Yeah.

Okay.

That's how all mysteries end,
don't they?

Empty, pointless, stupid.

We were the stupid ones
for obsessing on "Bud."

It probably had nothing
to do with him.

Just a nickname
for something or someone.

Yeah.

I think we lost track
of the real story.

Mm.

The underage girls.

We were chasing a whodunit
in the middle of a tragedy.

We better go.

-Motorboat is back
in ten minutes.
-Okay.

Bye, Mr. Epstein.

Have fun in hell.
