The letter fragments scattered around the apartment form a cipher map that we collect and alphabetically sort to build a full substitution map.
The crew collects cipher clues (like E is V, Q is Z) written across the desk and walls, builds a map object mapping each letter, and alphabetically sorts to check they've found all 26 letters, correcting a swapped L and B. ✦ AI generated

We need to take note of these cuz these are written absolute I think it's a cipher. They're written all over the the apartment. Like E is V, Q is Z, O is D, K is E. ... can you throw it into AI to alphabetically sort? ... we should be 26 of them. Which is our our map. ... we have B in here twice. We don't have L. ... V goes to L. ... L goes to B. It's on the butterfly wall.

6:12take note of these cuz these are written absolute I think it's a cipher. They're written all over the the apartment. Like E is V, Q is Z, O is D, K is E. >> Oh. >> And if you look back on his >> B S I >> back on his desk, there's a couple of them. And then all written on written on the walls, there's a couple of them.
6:27My my guess Well, I was going to say Caesar cipher, but probably not cuz I see R goes to S. So, that's just a shift of one. >> What's the main output? Or we don't know that yet. >> Uh there's Well, only one more spot we need to figure out, which is the chessboard. Um >> Okay. I have something interesting here. The butterflies. There's butterfly buttons on the walls,
6:52and there's a butterfly painting on the wall. Uh and those butterflies match the butterflies on the wall. So, the different shapes of butterflies match. So, whether or not that is useful right now, just something to keep stock of. Uh is that we have buttons for butterflies, and we have butterflies. So, yes. >> All right. I'm just going to create a map object that basic I'm going to find
7:18every single one I can in the Actually, can we work collaboratively? Um If you go over there, all just If you go it will go to my code editor, and let's just build an object that basically says that like the letter I is G. And then >> Okay. >> Um I'll do the ones on his desk. >> going to do the ones in the room. And then Can Wes, can you do the ones on the
7:39subway map? >> Yeah. Is this the whole dang alphabet? >> I think it probably is. Like but I don't see any pattern just yet, so that's why I'm just like writing them all out. >> Yeah. My god, there are so many on the desk. >> F to Q. >> All right, I got all mine. I got like 20 more left to do. What are these I'm going to input a
8:03butterfly to see what that is. Is that even possible? No. The butterflies have to be in some kind of distinct order. Um CJ, I think I have all of mine. >> Okay, can you throw it into AI to alphabetically sort? Or you know, however you want to, but like alphabetically sort. >> [laughter] >> CJ. Hey, we sorted letters, but it can't be known. We must have the artificial
8:29intelligence. >> Yeah. Basically, sort it and then see if we're missing any letters and then we'll go search and find those, but it should be 26 of them. Which is our our map. >> There's 26, yeah. >> Amazing. Can you throw it back in alphabetically sorted? Amazing. [music] Okay. So, if we look at the the input of >> Oh, we have B in here twice. We don't
8:50have L. >> Oh, okay. Search around for what >> Who Who messed up L? L's not on the desk. It wasn't me. >> B is twice. >> wall. Who had the wall? >> Oh, V goes to L. I have >> No, L goes to B. >> Where's that? >> It's on the butterfly wall. Shame whoever was supposed to do that. >> Yeah, that was my fault. I can't see
