# In this episode
Dead air is the sound of a signal reaching nobody, and that's the register of this chapter. Cope walks into one last room — sixty-one pages, four lawyers — and there's nothing on the table that saves a thing.
The machinery of consequence grinds on, but it's hollow: no admission that matters, no signature that heals, no punishment that lands. Just process, performed over a man it can no longer touch.
Zero broadcasts the fall of a man who bought his way out of every room he ever entered — and shows the one room money and paper finally can't fix.

Where we're at: they voted him out, the machine runs the shop, and there's no prosecutor left to want him.
