About this listen

 The final episode examines Epstein's 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, the circumstances of his death in custody, and the inadequate aftermath that followed. Detective Carter analyzes the suspicious circumstances surrounding his apparent suicide, including camera malfunctions, absent cellmates, and sleeping guards, while acknowledging the difference between proven facts and speculation. The episode explores Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction as a partial but insufficient form of accountability, and examines why the comprehensive reckoning that should have followed never materialized. Through analysis of how institutions handled their Epstein connections post-exposure and how the immunity provisions continue to protect unnamed co-conspirators, the episode reveals that the cult of power remains intact. Detective Carter concludes by examining what victims accomplished through their courage in speaking out, what actual systemic change would require, and why the lessons of the Epstein case remain urgent as the systems that enabled him continue to operate largely unchanged.
