We first learn about the existence of any secret tapes when 'Laramie Seymour Sullivan' (Jon Hamm) locates a hidden camera behind a two-way mirror pointing at one of the rooms of the hotel. While El Royale doesn't tell the audience what is on the tapes, there are some clues about their contents. But mixed in with all of this are the secret tapes in Bad Times at the El Royale that us viewers don't even get to see. There's a lot going on in Bad Times at the El Royale: violence, guns, an apparently kidnapping, a fake Southern accent, a fake priest, a boatload of cash buried under some floorboards, a cult led by a guy who looks like Chris Hemsworth.
