Ron, Connie and Bill Benson enter the Compound vault to open the safe that should contain the information linked to Nick Silver and Holly Lewis's hidden Bitcoin fortune. Bill warns them that a wrong code will trigger a shutdown, and that the only previous override required both Nick and Holly to come down in person, raising the stakes because neither of them can help now.

Ron prepares to enter the two six-digit codes the group has discovered: Holly's 416617 and Nick's 217495. He initially trusts Ibrahim's reasoning that Holly's code should come first because Holly and Nick were always named in that order, but while hesitating he reflects on his worsening hand tremors and loss of dexterity. The moment becomes personal as Ron realizes he cannot reliably press the buttons himself and, swallowing his pride, asks Connie to do it for him.

As Connie studies the numbers, she questions whether Holly and Nick would really have used the obvious order. Ron reconsiders and agrees that, if they had built such a high-stakes security system, they might well have added a simple twist by reversing the expected sequence. With Bill nervously reminding them that being trapped underground would be disastrous, Ron and Connie decide to risk entering Nick's code first, then Holly's.

Connie keys in 217495 followed by 416617. After a tense pause, the safe opens with three beeps. Inside is not cash or hardware but a piece of paper containing the alphanumeric key that proves ownership of the Bitcoin account. Bill congratulates Ron, while Ron, relieved but subdued, prepares with Connie to head back up, acknowledging that recovering the key is only the beginning of what comes next.
