Reporters and Richard have a stake out when Jinnai appears and makes for Harnison's room. They arrive by elevator and when Richard comes out he trips on vinyl tape.

People
Harnison Noble: Plays Jinnai in the movie.
Murisa Noble: Harnison's wife
Vivica Jasmine: Harnison's Manager
Orson Halibaster: Director
Irby Korbson: (deceased before episode) an actor who died while filming because of a stunt gone wrong
Resolution
It was Harnison's manager Vivica who did it. Using vinyl tape and fishing wire she made a human silhouette on the window so it looked like someone was standing there. Then she attached the wire to the tape and a light switch and finally the elevator. So when the elevator went down it first turned on the light then ripped off the tape from the window so to the observers at the bottom it looked like someone was moving in the room. She wanted to avenge Irby Korbson who she knows was killed by harnison. Irby got the part of Jinnai couple of years back so Harnison decided to kill him by telling to do a stunt without a stunt man. Harnison also removed a bolt from Irby's car which resulted in it crashing and killing him.
