The story so far
Everything you need before watchingInside the Think Tank, President Business greets his captured Master Builders like honored guests: Superman, Wonder Woman, even Shaq. They are here to write the instructions for everything. Then the news: The Special is at the bottom of the ocean, and the only remnant is a double-decker couch. Business takes it apart, joke by joke, until he names it the most useless idea he has ever heard. Cut to the sea: Emmet's friends are still alive on that couch. Watch a boss bury an idea that is already saving lives.
