yeah after comparing the two they are not the same but close. The building in the video is more rounded on the edges while the hotel has corners to it. probley a office building or something.

Now I don't know if someone said this already ( I think I recall someone saying this though) but the fenced area in Tachyon's part is the La Brea Tar pits located on wilshire blvd. in L.A. New from the look of it, the car was going west on wilshire which goes away from La Brea ave. So I'm wondering if we are looking in the wrong place for this building. I'm gonna keep looking though.

Still no luck on the building. La Brea Ave is in West Hollywood. Seeing if there is anything there.

I don't plan on searching for too long, here's a link to some (maybe all?) of the low-rise buildings in the L.A. area:

Good luck.

Edit: Some of the links don't show pictures...but most of them do, I think.

The oil firlds also look like they are from Brea.... found this link.

http://www.ci.brea.ca.us/page.cfm?name=about_hist

See what direction they are going through mapquest. Since the tar pits were shown first and then the oil fields.

PS: Anyone else think Bree looks FIERCE when whispering to Daniel?

Okay, at first I thought the building to be the AIG SunAmerica tower in Beverly Hills. Which, is ironic since it the AIG building is right across the street from the Creative Artists Agency...

But, I'm pretty sure that's not the right one, now. I know I've seen this building before.

grrrrrrr................

Plus, for those who asked about the "wait!" then the hug.... the video rewound and was put in Tachyon's eyes

Yes, yes, thank you... definitely, the hug was rewinding... it was a clever trick, as in, this is what they saw, but this is what happened, let's watch it again.

The "no, wait stop" Lucy makes sense, seing as the bomb has closed, but it might be Bree, because of the voice... not sure, have to listen again! Maybe Lucy just realized what was going on... but it was also a brilliant move by the Creators, because that phrase doubled as a "wait, let's try that again," followed by a rewinding sound and Tachyon's music and ALL THE AWESOME SHOTS!

LET'S JUST ALL LOVE THIS VIDEO!

(I haven't read all of the posts, sorry if I'm repeating! Also, this is probably a repeat, but the opening sequence shows a sign with the name of a road, I forgot the road, and then an arrow and "Hollywood". Duh they were nearby, I just read another post!)

Near that sign that something "Hollywood". And we can find out the building!

And Nikki B., you've got a lot of work to do! Let's see what our favorite sleuth can discover!

"Cuts to Bree in elevator looking out with Lucy and the three other men looking down. Door closes

Goes to black Bree: Wait!! Stop!! "

that was quoted from the LG PEDIA

Edit to say it just could be another flash or smoke bomb, in case they need it to stall for time. He being sighted from the go would be the most likely to hold unto that. Jonas having the camera to document things would not have clear sight or the free hand....

Might be thinking too much now... But it would explain the get away for them all.

After rewatching that part over and over again, i think he is holdng the blindfold he had on since whatever it is seems to be black. Why he still has it i don't know?
Might be why he is looking down at it. One of those, "What is this in my hand...oh yeah." moments.

I think maybe they just took off his blindfold a couple seconds kinda before (see he was like falling over a little, and well he was "brainwashed"). And he was looking down at the stairs to get his foot up to start climbing.

Well, in this case...it's one of the few videos where the Creators have given is a distinct location rather than just us locals just figuring it out based on landmarks.

But also, with Tachyon videos, it could indicate a drop coming soon. But that's for the ARG.
