The walls are clos­ing in, you’ve got no way out… and then, sud­den­ly, you escape! This hour, sto­ries about traps, get­aways, per­pet­u­al cycles, and stag­ger­ing breakthroughs.

We kick things off with a true escape artist – a man who’s bro­ken out of jail more times than any­one alive. We try to fig­ure out why he keeps run­ning… and whether he will ever stop. Then, the inge­nious­ly sim­ple ques­tion that led Isaac New­ton to an enor­mous intel­lec­tu­al break­through: why doesn’t the moon fall out of the sky? In the wake of New­ton’s new idea, we find our­selves in a strange space at the edge of the solar sys­tem, about to cross a bound­ary beyond which we know noth­ing. Final­ly, we hear the sto­ry of a blind kid who freed him­self from an unhap­py child­hood by climb­ing into the tele­phone sys­tem, and bend­ing it to his will.
