- I like to hide from my boss.
And unless he can find me,
I'm not doing any work today.
This time, I'll be pretty well hidden.
Let's see if he's bright enough to find me.
(upbeat music)
- [Jamie] This is Hidden in Plain Sight number 6,
the series where one of my employees, Danny,
tries to hide from me in my own building, all day.
My goal is to put him back to work.
That's about to happen, right now.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary, yet.
There's no notes telling me to like go to Disney World
or something like that.
(shuffling noises)
Where are Erica and Carrie?
Are they off today?
The lights in Erica's office and Carrie's office are off.
I don't know where they are.
Oh, they are!
(laughs)
Alright, this isn't a red herring.
Carrie's out today, and Erica is gonna be in late.
I gotta get methodical.
Is this Danny?
Of course it is.
"What's up my dude?
At it again, back to our old antics and rules.
The inside and out are fair game,
but I'll stay on the property this time."
And then he left a picture saying "I'm rooting for you".
You should be rooting for yourself dude,
'cause you lose pretty much every time.
You know I'm starting to learn how Danny thinks.
It might not be him that I can see in plain sight,
but it's a camera pointing at him, or a note
or something like that.
Everything's in play.
I gotta look up high,
see if anything is out of the ordinary.
Last week, Danny was going to clean up
and reorganize the shop.
Let me know in the comments if
you think that happened or not.
He could be outside.
I think we gotta take a, a lap around the property,
just to see if he is super visible from outside,
just not from the inside.
I just got a text message from Danny.
"Gonna take a nap, wake me when it's 5:30."
I'm gonna kill him!
He'd have to be in the shade
or somehow have air conditioning.
I'd be so happy if he was in here.
What was that?
What?
It says, "You won't see it coming, it's so cute.
But this little bear has a flaming bite,
that's sure to make you--" tear?
Or tear?
And there's a sort of a piece of asphalt?
I have to assume that it's from Danny.
Although, I don't recognize this handwriting.
That is not Danny's handwriting.
Now I gotta go get handwriting samples from everyone here.
I need to find out who's - What is this?
- writing notes.
Don't pretend like you don't know what it is!
- I don't know what this is.
- [Jamie] I found this outside in the parking lot.
- What? - [Jamie] Where did
you get this?
You ever seen this before?
- No.
- The note was inside of the bag.
- It was inside?
- Yes.
Look at this acting!
Please give me a handwriting sample.
I'd like you to just write down a little bit of that,
so I can compare.
- My handwriting is terrible.
- Yeah, I think your, your N's are different.
The N's are different, the U's are different.
Oh this is, this is tragic, okay.
- We get it, we don't need to.
- All right, little man.
- I'm in the dark on this one.
- Maybe somebody has got to throw this like through
a window or something.
Why else do you put a note in a bag with a rock.
- It's part of the game.
I'm gonna try and pretend like it's not.
My phone just got a text.
Oh, it's from Danny.
"Just heard about note outside. Real talk wasn't me."
Lie.
"Rock and a note sounds like a threat."
And then he's writing...
"Not joking"
How does he know about the rock?
And then I found it?
All of a sudden! He knows about this!
And the only people, that I've--
I've told a lot of people about the rock and the note.
- [Man] The only 17 people I've told about this.
- Shoot!
- Danny never told us about anything like that.
That's definitely not Danny's handwriting.
I think you might actually have
a real threat going on here, Jamie.
- Right, the day we're playing this game,
we're in a real threat.
- For real, we're not joking at all.
That's, that's kinda scary.
- [Jamie] "You won't see it coming,
it's so cute, but this little bear has a flaming bite,
that's sure to make you... tear?"
It's gotta be the little nitro gummy bear, right?
It's gotta be!
Little nitro is down here.
Little nitro gummy bear.
Oh! There it is!
We got a little game going on here.
- [Sarah] Can I see that?
I don't think it's a game. - See what?
- [Jamie] So I pull the note out of the box.
And Sarah, our warehouse manager comes rushing up to me and
just needs to see the note right away.
She is freaked out!
Now I'm starting to think,
is this actually part of the game?
- So I really have no idea what's going on here.
He thinks it's me, and I cannot convince him that it's not.
I have no clue what's going on.
And these notes are freaking me out.
- It's some kids from a tour.
- [Sarah] Are you serious?
- Yeah.
Well it turns out, it's pure coincidence.
It was just some kids, messing around on one of our tours.
It has nothing to do with the game.
Well I thought that was going to be sort of a fun like,
hunt for Danny.
- We were legit like,
what is happening?
- Now I'm upset, because I gotta like,
start over looking for Danny.
Thanks kids.
- Hey, I wanted to take a minute to share with you what I'm
doing while Jamie is looking for me.

Alright, I'm gonna get back to this
- Empty studio.
Look at that, nobody is shooting anything.
No videos being made.
Why are these lights on!?
Guys!
The lights!
We have some storage places and rooms that nobody goes into.
So why are the lights on in those rooms?
I don't trust Danny.
I don't trust anybody else here,
on Hidden in Plain Sight day.
I gotta look up?
Danny?
We probably got enough footage.
You can come out now.
Let's get the drone out,
and go take a little peak around outside.
(drone buzzing)
We're looking on the roof here.
I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
I've searched on foot.
I've used the drone.
Danny is not outside.
This is for napping.
So I'm trying to get in Danny's mindset, you know.
Just napping at work, not working, being lazy.
Well, I'm trying to be like my inner Danny.
- I don't know if you wanna go there.
- He always comes up with some nonsense, where he's like,
"Oh, it's called wall blindness".
- [Woman] You always have a hang up about people
turning lights on, and I feel like you've been leaving
a lot of lights on today.
- I can't handle the negativity.
I'm trying to think, you know, it's gotta be a clue or
a hint somewhere, if you know where to look.
It sounds like Danny is getting bored.
He's like, "You okay bro, you're not texting me back?
We're doing this today, right?
I mean, you are looking for me, right?"
This one's actually funny.
He said, "Don't forget to look inside your heart.
I'm always there"
[Audience Sound] Aw.
So, Danny's been tweeting I guess.
"Got a solid power nap in already."
I can't really think of any other places that
I haven't looked.
You know, maybe he's literally disguised himself as
like a piece of furniture or something, you know.
- [Joey] You've got two hours left.
- [Jamie] Oh, he shall be found.
It'll hit me, I just don't know when, you know?
And we'll be like, light bulb baby!
- I don't know, it could happen just like that.
- Are you in here?
I feel like I've been everywhere, I think.
"There's this thing called
'doesn't notice things blindness'."
Danny!
He's supposed to be in plain sight.
I've put my sight on a lot of things.
But, I haven't seen him yet.
He's so skinny and lanky,
has he put himself up in the ceiling somewhere?
Ah-ha!
Dang it.
That would have been sweet though.
The bookcase has moved.
This is normally here.
Why was this moved?
Who moved this?
Could be a red herring, but maybe it's not.
It's the only that has been out of place that
I have noticed so far is this.
Who moved the bookcase in the prop storage?
- Maybe Danny moved it.
- Were you in there this morning, Joey?
- I've probably walked through there,
but I didn't move anything.
It's always so dark in there, though maybe I bumped it.
I don't know.
- Something's going on in here.
Something is going on in here.
We're starting to get a little low on time here,
but I'm not giving up hope.
Okay, there is still a chance I could figure it out.
I thought I turned that light off.
Eh, I must have forgotten.
What other ways could I see him
that wouldn't be walking around the place
and like see him, you know?
I'm trying to think of nooks and crannies
in the building that he could have put himself in.
Danny's at me again.
"Hey big guy, the sun's getting real low."
He's kind of needy, right?
Wasted my whole day, looking for this clown.
I've got five minutes left, that's it.
I gotta find him.
I'm still not giving up hope, even with five minutes left.
But we gotta start moving it a little bit quicker.
Looking for him.
Oh, oh hilarious.
He's putting a ticking time bomb.
- Does that mean time is over?
- Not yet, I still got like 5 minutes to go.
Danny?
Behind something?
I feel like you should be in the studio.
I hear it Danny, hilarious.
I have been up here, but maybe I've missed him.
Yes, Joey?
- Maybe he's actually easier to see in the dark?
- Joey.
Are you trying to give me a clue?
- [Joey] Are you seeing any signs?
- [Woman] You have two minutes!
- [Jamie] (gasps) Oh Danny, I got you now.
- [Danny] So Jamie really hates it when
the lights are left on and nobody is in the room.
- [Jamie] Why are these lights on?
Guys.
- [Danny] In fact, he put signs up all over the building,
near all of the light switches that say,
"Turn off the lights".
So what I'm gonna do is leave the lights on in
a bunch of rooms that nobody works in,
see if Jamie turns the lights off.
- [Woman] You always have a hang up
about people turning lights on,
and I feel like you've been leaving
a lot of lights on today.
- [Danny] If he listens to his own signs,
as soon as the light goes off, a black light's gonna turn on
and reveal in invisible ink, where I'm at.
Where I'll be hiding is gonna be pretty hard to see.
The ceiling in the dressing room is under construction,
so Jamie is fully aware that
there's some missing ceiling tiles.
What I'm gonna do is build a little platform above them
and hide up in there.
Now it'll be dark, but if he looks up, he can see me.
- [Jamie] He's so skinny and lanky has he
put himself up in the ceiling somewhere?
- [Danny] After some experiments,
we figured out a way to make invisible ink,
that when the lights are on you can't see it,
but if a black light's on, it lights up very bright.
It's gonna look like notes left by a serial killer.
- With this little device, we can remotely turn on a light,
so when Jamie turns off the light switch on the wall,
I will be behind the camera and press a button
to activate the black light.
Ah ha!
- [Jamie] And we'll be like... light bulb baby!
- It could happen just like that.
- So I've told Jamie exactly where I'm at.
He just needs to follow his own signs.
- Dressing room!
Ah, I've still got time!
I knew you guys had him in the prop storage!
Why was that moved?
Where is he?
Turn off the lights.
Where is he?
What, on the roof?
Danny?
- [Danny] Yes?
- Oh there you are!
I found you with how much time?
22 seconds to spare!
I found him with 22 seconds to spare, unbelievable!
- I wish you could have found me faster because like
the longer it went, it got really uncomfortable up there.
- Aw, poor baby.
- And you know what I was planning,
I thought you were smarter,
so I thought you would have found me faster.
- Oh, snap.
- Oh, you're pretty sweaty.
- It's really hot up there!
- [Jamie] Well, that was a good one!
- You can have that win, I'll let you.
I'll let you have it.
- Um, okay.
- I still feel really good about the whole experience.
- [Jamie] Guys this might be a first.
Danny, are you cleaning the shop?
What would you call what you're doing right now?
- Working.
- [Jamie] Is that something you do a lot of,
or not a lot of?
- I don't try to, it just seems silly.
You know, I'm exhausted.
Uh, I don't know why anybody does this.
