Episode 35: The Bedroom Trap. Silk and Smoke, #9

The penthouse is pure money: river glass, stone, and a bed staged for a man who thinks he owns the night. Elena Rourke walks in on her husband's arm and Jack Colder slips in behind them, vanishing into the dark. While Elena keeps Harlan busy on the sheets, Jack finds the real prize in a hidden closet safe: a blue vial meant for New Year's, a fake philanthropy ledger, and a deed that proves Elena was never meant to outlive her role.
When Harlan finally reaches for the blade under his pillow, Jack steps out of the shadows and ends the marriage with a single shot. Elena doesn't scream. Instead, she peels the tape from her tracker ring, absorbs the truth of the deed, and helps Jack dress the room for the camera and the men already on their way upstairs. By the time Phelps, Gatlin, and the lens push through the door, the bedroom is ready to tell the wrong story, the safe is sleeping again, and Jack and Elena are already slipping toward the gray service door that might be their only way out.
