Hope you have

a good view over there, Reid.

I am looking at it.

Looking and experiencing

are two different things.

See, Reid, it's a...

I don't know, but that was the

greatest moment of my life.

Do you know how much trouble we

could have gotten in for this?

To Vegas.

To Vegas.

To best friends.

To the trip of our lives.

Rise and shine. Ben.

Hey.

What?

Get up.

What are you doing?

Oh, man, you look beautiful.

Why are you recording

me right now?

Look at all the fun we could be

having walking down the strip,

drinking some beers.

She's there. She's texting me.

She's not crazy.

How do you know that, man?

'Cause I've talked to her.

We have no idea who we just

sent our best friend to meet.

Let's hope she

can help us, right?

Yeah, what if this is

a setup or something?

Does he know what she looks like?

How is he gonna...

I don't know. Oh, wait, that's her.

Shaking hands.

- Have you zoomed in?

- Yeah.

What does she look like?

She doesn't look crazy.

Does she look crazy?

Are her eyes glowing?

No, she doesn't look crazy.

She looks normal.

Well, hopefully,

she's not legit or he freaks her out.

And then we can go home.

Right.

He's pointing at us.

Should we wave?

She has something.

She gave him something.

She gave him papers

or something.

Yeah, he's bringing her

out here.

Okay, dude, just act normal, all right?

Don't be a dick.

It's gonna be really

hard not to be a dick.

He's bringing her out here.

She's looking all sketchy.

They both look real sketchy.

So this is Jelena.

What's your name?

Jelena.

- Jelena?

- Darrin.

Hi, I'm Jelena.

Nice to meet you.

Good to meet you.

All right, guys. Uh, follow me.

Okay.

Just like that?

She's not shady.

Is she, Reid? Yup.

Well, apparently,

we're going into storage.

'Cause nothing good happens

at a storage facility.

Case in point,

have you ever seen Silence of the Lambs?

It's one girl, okay?

She could very easily kill us.

And store our bodies.

We can take her.

Well, I know if a gun

gets pulled out, I'm running.

He became really paranoid.

He kept talking about how

our phones were tapped

and how there were

people following him

and all kinds of

crazy stuff like that.

And he made me promise that if

anything were to happen to him,

I would move all his stuff

to a storage facility.

Somewhere secret that no

one would be able to find.

He was extremely adamant

that I did it right away.

So the night that he died,

I brought his stuff over here.

And, it's crazy, literally within 24 hours,

our house was raided.

They want what's here.

He was fired for asking

too many questions.

I was the one that found my

dad in the garage that night.

Look at this.

They ruled it as a suicide.

He would have never killed himself.

This whole thing's

been redacted.

I know.

- Your father?

- Yeah.

Looks like a nice guy.

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, he was a really good guy.

Holy sh*t! This is a timeline

of all the employees.

This is incredible.

Thousands of people's

medical records.

Malignant prostate?

I don't know why he'd have that.

- Come here.

- What?

Yeah, these are my dad's

maps of the base.

Seriously?

Of course, he wasn't

allowed into all the buildings

but this is what he's got.

Everything above

ground is just a front.

The real base is

a mile underground in S4.

He wasn't allowed in there.

Marked different

staircases and elevators.

That could be how

you get underground.

It would be real helpful

when we get to the base.

Even if you make it on the base,

this isn't going to help you.

You need fingerprints.

You need a badge.

They have access codes

that change every day.

Well, your dad didn't have access to it,

so he obviously snuck in.

Yeah, and my dad's dead.

You really want to

go through with this?

Yeah, I don't have a choice.

Looks like your dad

was able to get into S4

but just not, sort of, parts...

Well, he was following someone.

This guy, I know I have his

picture in here somewhere,

who did have full S4 clearance.

And I know that my dad

was following him.

There we go. The guy.

I don't know his name.

I just know that that's the

guy my dad was following

and the reason why he got fired.

Well, if he does still work there,

I think we could find him.

He probably lives

in or around Vegas.

Reid, if this is for real,

this is what got her father killed.

Yeah.

We'll be careful.

Hi. Norio?

Yes.

So let's say we get to the top

of the ridge here,

say I want to do more

than just look at it.

Say I want to get down into S4.

Get out of the car and just keep

walking along this boundary fence.

Most of the heat sensors

and motion detectors

are along this

Groom Lake dirt road.

There are no motion

sensors over here?

There are very little.

Rattlesnakes?

Yes, there's rattlesnakes

all over.

S4 is down here, right?

S4 is down here.

Can we get over that mountain?

As long as you're not detected.

The JANET airlines.

The terminal.

737 outbound jets right there.

The one with the red stripe?

Yes.

In fact, you can see

the parking lot over there.

Darrin, I think

this is his flight.

How do you know?

The tail numbers.

We gotta go.

- Right now?

- Yeah.

We got to get there

before they deplane.

I'm going as fast

as possible, man.

Take a right, take a right.

Am I going in there

or what am I doing?

Okay...

What?

This is it. This is JANET terminal.

This is JANET?

There's a lot of cars.

The dude could be anywhere.

So they fly the employees in

and out of this base every day?

Yup.

Here?

Yup, every day.

Who's JANET?

Uh, it stands for Just

Another Nonexistent Terminal.

That's the rumor.

It's a stupid rumor.

I think I see him.

Can you see him on there?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm zooming in.

White hair, glasses,

getting in a small black car.

Oh, sh*t.

Reid, Reid, it's him.

Right there, right there.

Follow him.

Okay.

Give him a little space though.

Put it in drive.

Here we go, here we go.

All right, go.

So I'm just following this guy?

Yeah.

Can you zoom in on him?

Yeah. It's him, dude.

It's definitely him.

I can see him in his mirror.

He's wearing black glasses.

White hair.

He's the exact guy

in the picture.

So do you have a plan though?

I got a few ideas.

Would you like to share them or

are we keeping that to ourselves?

Okay.

What if he's a janitor?

He's got to be

a high-level employee.

What, are you just gonna

hit him over the head?

Dude, don't lose him.

I'm not losing him.

Speed up a little bit.

What if that guy knew that

Jelena's dad was following him?

What if this is the reason

Jelena's dad was killed?

I suddenly don't

like this idea anymore.

You're doing a great job.

Thank you.

It's almost like you've

done this before.

I actually might

take up a new career.

Stalking people?

Following people?

Uh, PI. Thank you.

You don't see anything?

Dude, put the camera down.

Put the camera down.

All right, stay back, stay back.

Let some cars get between.
