notes & titles not referencing movies
1x5: heart of darkness // referencing heart of darkness by joseph conrad

3x7: the man in black // not entirely sure, there is a movie but given the concept of the man in black in the episode it's more likely a reference to the antagonist in lost
3x9: no exit // references the play no exit by john paul-sartre
