After the team has some much needed sleep, everyone is back at the jail, eager to see if they catch anymore evidence. Nolan decides to send Sid and Lennox together, while he goes with Lola and Avery.

"You better be on your best behavior, man," Lennox says seriously to Nolan, who merely shrugs, smiling.

"Yeah," Sid echoes. "No screwing around with your girlfriend or mine."

"I promise, Sid," Nolan says solemnly. Sid grins, punching Nolan in the shoulder. Avery smiles, turning to Lola, who's also smiling.

"Aww, aren't they cute when they're beating each other up?" Avery asks. Lola nods.

"They sure are!" Sid immediately takes offense and scowls.

"We're not cute!" Avery can't hold in her laughter and bursts out. Lola follows, both women cracking up.

"We need to get away from them," Lennox says. "Before they're weirdness rubs off on us."

"Haha." Lola flips Lennox off. He just gives her a wink.

"All right," Nolan says. "Let's get started on round two of this investigation."

"We should get them back," Lennox tells Sid as they're wandering down to what was the prison morgue.

"No," Sid says. "Now come on. We have to start investigating." Lennox sighs heavily.

"Fine. Lennox and Sid in the morgue." Lennox looks around. Damn. It's frickin' freezing down here.

"Are there any prisoners left behind who want to say anything?" Sid asks. They wait a few minutes.

"If there's anything you want to get out there, now is the time," Lennox adds. A cold breeze ruffles Sid and Lennox's clothes and hair. Lennox stiffens as he feels like someone touched his arm.

"Dude," Lennox whispers. "Someone just touched me."

"For real?" Sid is holding up the thermal camera. He notices a slight change on the screen.

"Yeah." Sid moves to Lennox, pointing out the small orange spot that the thermal camera is picking up.

"There's definitely something here," Sid says.

"We just want to talk with you," Lennox says. "We're not going to hurt or punish you in any way."

There's a faint knock on back wall. Lennox and Sid share a look.

"If that was you, can you do that again?" Lennox asks. They listen but nothing else happens.

"Let's go down this tunnel," Lennox suggests and Sid just nods.

"We're stay down here for a few more minutes, than we'll check in with the others," Sid says. Lennox nods.

"Sounds good to me."

"Avery, Lola and Nolan in the gas chamber area," Avery says into her voice recorder. Although both Nolan and Lola had already investigated this particular spot, Nolan had wanted to try again. He had a good feeling that something was here.

"I know you might have seen us before," Nolan says. "But we'd really love to hear from you."

"Are you trapped here?" Avery asks. A rustling noise emits from the gas chamber itself and Avery nearly comes unglued.

"We know that many of you probably were mistreated in several ways," Lola says. "And we're sorry that happened. No one deserves to mistreated."

Another rustling noise. Avery reaches out, grasping at Nolan's shirt sleeve. He turns, noting how pale she looks, her eyes wide.
