The wise man is a crime boss

An exploration of the The wise man is a crime boss theory.

Explanation
In this theory, the wise man is a crime boss. He might have hired the men in suits to hunt Maia, or he might be protecting Maia from the men in suits.

After escaping the men in suits, Maia calls the helper. The helper promises to send someone to get Maia, and the large man comes and takes Maia to a room with the wise man.

If the wise man is the helper, then Maia called the wise man to help her. The crime boss sent the large man to bring Maia to the room. However, when Maia asks him about the men in suits, he apologizes and has the large man carry her away.

Possibly, he is delivering Maia to the boss of the men in suits, or he just might not want to get involved. It does seem like he might know who the men in suits are.

However, he might be the crime boss, who hired the men in suits, and the large man works for him. After Maia was brought to him, he had the large man carry her away. Somehow, Maia was able to escape.
