Reminder, Shelter Stone Academy
is currently in lockdown.

Students should return
to their dorms after class...

Erika. Hey.

I came as fast as I could.

Reenie. Thank you

for meeting me
at the school.
It's gonna be okay.

I got you.

Tell me exactly
what happened.

Noah and I have
a regular weekly call.

He's never missed it,
not once,

but I didn't hear
from him last night.

He would never not call me.

I called the school

and they wouldn't
let me talk to him.

I think he ran away
and they're not telling me.

Did you look
at the enrollment contract?

I did.
It's pretty extreme.

They don't have to share
any information with you

when he's on school grounds,
but that's why I'm here.

If he ran off--
Already got it covered.

That guy I told
you about...

Can he find Noah?

He's a tracker.
If someone's missing,

this is the guy you
want looking for them.

Okay?

This is Colter Shaw.

Reenie. Mrs. Kennedy.

Erika, please.

I'm not sure
how to do this...

I'm just so worried
about him.

It's gonna be okay.

I did a little research
on the school.

Outdoor-based curriculum
with counseling.

Closed campus...

I know what you're thinking.

What mother sends her son
to a place like this?

No, I'm not here to judge.

Noah's had some troubles

and the school was
helping him find himself.

At least
that's what they claim.

You don't believe that?

I don't know
what to believe.

I talked to him last week
and he sounded good.

Happy.
He was doing well in class.

I thought...

I thought he'd turned
the corner.

Why would he run away?

You can trust him.

Noah's had some problems
with substance abuse.

That's why
we enrolled him here.

It was his last chance.

Let's get to work.

Come on.
He's got this.

Mrs. Kennedy, I understand
how you must feel right now.

Is Noah missing or not?

Because if he's here,
we would like to see him.

And if he's not,

I'm going to the police.

He's currently unaccounted for.

You mean run away?

These kids are
independent-minded,

often rebellious.

Sometimes they try
to find time alone.

We have a large campus.
It's not uncommon

for a student to set out
for an adventure on their own.

- We always find them.
- That's good.

So let me
get this straight.

You've built a school that's
actually more like a prison.

That by your own admission,
students are trying

to escape from, but you want
parents to believe

that you got everything
under control?

Our methods may seem unusual,

but our outdoor-based
curriculum builds confidence,

self-reliance, and we've had

over 30 years of success

in turning young men
and women's lives around.

So, what are you doing
to find Noah?

We have a safety protocol when
a student is unaccounted for

past the 10:00 p.m.
bed check.

We've activated
our 12-member security team,

led by Tom Ritter.

But now, we need
to get to work,

and I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.
Mr. Gilroy,

we all want to believe that
you're gonna find Noah,

but you're
a little more nervous

about this
than you're letting on.

Why is that?

Noah is a good young man.

But as you know, he has
a history of substance issues.

He recently relapse?

Yes. Four months ago.

It was my understanding

that he has been clean
since he's been here.

Unfortunately, not.

Relapse is common
for former drug addicts.

Now, we have to at least
consider the possibility

that he left the campus
in the hopes of finding drugs.

Mrs. Kennedy wants
her son located.

So far, you've been
unable to do that.

That's why I'm here.
With all due respect,

we have experience
in these matters.

And I don't have
any more time

to waste explaining
this to you.

Now, I'll be happy to show you
the way out.

No, we're gonna stay.

Or... I can go talk to a judge.

I'd just like
to get a look

at the place he was last seen.

I'll give you 30 minutes.

Great.

Would you go to his
dorm room and see if you

can find something that might
lead to where he went?

Okay.

Come on.

Get me Ritter.

You guys got
a lot of fences.

Lot of cameras.
It can look extreme,
but...

with the range
of kids we have,

sometimes it's necessary.

It's been my experience
that oftentimes

when you give kids boundaries,
they find ways around them.

Well, in this case,
Noah was last seen

right here
on security footage.

But there's no footage
of him coming back.

You got a blind spot back there.

I'm aware.
Kids aware of it, too?

Some are.

To your point, some are more
resourceful than others.

Colter Shaw, meet Tom Ritter,
my head of security.

I'm giving him a few minutes
to look around.

Johnny was the last
to see Noah.

Where were you when
you saw him last?

Leaving the library.

Anybody else see him?

We'll handle the questioning.

We don't have time
to mark territory.

We just need answers.

I was, I was by myself.

Anything out of the ordinary?
Did he seem upset?
Like I said,

I just saw him,
I didn't talk to him.

Now I really got to prep
for my outdoor life skills.

Go on.

Where's Noah's dorm?

Actually, you know,
school policy states

we don't allow--

Down the hall,

to the right, up the stairs.

I'll have a security guard
meet you there.

You have ten minutes,
Mr. Shaw.

That's all I'll need.

Colter!

What can I help you with?

I need more information about
the Shelter Stone Academy.

Part school, part rehab.

I need a full download
on their history,

methods, how they operate.

Anything that'll help me find
this missing kid.

You got it.

You okay?

What if he's out there alone?

Or worse,
high and alone?

You can't go down
that road, Erika.

I never should've let Walter
send him here.

We were desperate.

Look,

you just wanted Noah
to get better.

And he did, right?

He's got the matching one.

Hmm. I gave it to him
after the divorce,

when he was having
all the trouble

at the other school.

It's a Dara knot.

A symbol of strength.

I told him we could get
through this together,

as long as we were
both strong.

Right here.

Find anything?

Nothing unexpected.

A class schedule,
books, uniform,

toiletries bag.

What?

Noah ever mention
a girlfriend?
No, I...

don't even know
if he likes girls.

He's got breath spray,

three different
flavors of lip balm

and a hair scrunchie.

I'd say he has
a girlfriend.

I can't believe

he never said a word
about her to me.

Teenagers only talk
to teenagers.

Fire detail?

Yeah.

It's my turn to do setup--

part of our survival skills
or some crap.

There's a better way
to do that.

I got it, big guy.

I spent a lot of time
outside as a kid.

Used to build campfires
every day.

You get graded on them?
'Cause I do.

Like it even matters.
Oh, it does matter.

You kidding?
A fire can save your life.

My brother was always
way better

at building them than I was.

Used to drive me nuts.

But I learned.

My dad, he, uh,

made it a point to make sure

we could survive
in any situation--

build a fire, find shelter,
food... all the essentials.

Well, if you're
such an expert,

what am I doing wrong?

What are you doing wrong?

You going
for a tepee fire, right?

May seem like the easiest way
to build one, but...

it's not stable. Right?

You build one like this,
like a log cabin.

You see that?
Sturdy.

Stable. Plus...

the wood'll burn slower.

Better heat base.

Thanks.
Yeah.

Do you work for the school
or something?

No. Noah's mom hired me
to find him.

So if there's
something, anything

you think I might want to know,

it'll stay between
the two of us.

I think Noah may be in danger,

especially if he
made it off campus.

Now, I-I don't know, maybe...
maybe he had a reason

to run away.

Either way,

he hasn't been seen or heard
from since yesterday, so...

Where did you say
you saw him last?

Was it the library? You sure?

It... it was by
the maintenance sheds.

Everybody knows the cameras
don't see behind the sheds.

Yeah, well, look,
I mean, I don't...

I don't need to know
what you were doing there,

unless it had something
to do with Noah.

No.

But you saw something, right?

Was he, was he with someone?
A girl?

Not a girl,
but I saw Noah and Zeke.

And Zeke, Zeke's a student here?

No, he-he works here.

Mows the lawn,
unclogs the toilets.

I couldn't hear what
they were saying, but

Noah looked scared.

That-That's when I took off.
I didn't want to get busted.

The hell are you
still doing here?
We have a problem.

One of your employees,
a man named Zeke,

was seen arguing with Noah
right before he disappeared.

What aren't you telling us?

We're pulling up
security footage because

I was just informed
that Zeke Steadman

didn't show up for work today.

We need to know
when the last time

he was on campus.

And when were you planning
on telling us?

Once I verified
for certain,

but I didn't want
to alarm anyone.

Let me take a look
at that footage.

Rewind that gate camera.

Um... here,

this is Zeke leaving
campus last night.

What's that right there? Look.

You see that?

No? Look.

Right there.

Oh, my God,
that's Noah.

I'm sorry, Erika,
I don't think he ran away.

It looks like Noah's
been kidnapped.

Why would he take Noah?

Most kidnapped teenage boys
are around Noah's age,

usually taken by a parent
or someone they know.

We'll figure it out.

What do you got?

The authorities

checked Zeke's apartment,
he wasn't there.

Building security confirmed
Zeke hasn't been back since

he left yesterday morning.
I want to see everything
you have on this guy.

Employment records,
his emails from the server,

pre-employment
background checks.

As I told you, we handed
everything over to the police.

That's great.
I would like to see them, too.

I'm gonna go
find Zeke,

see if this mystery
girlfriend is connected.

We've already
involved the police.

Yeah,
who will do everything

within their legal means
to find him.

Requires a lot
of red tape,

something I don't
have to deal with.

He's right.
You got my number.

Let me know
if you find anything.

I'll be moving fast.

Hey, Bobby, I texted
you a number

that belongs to a guy
named Zeke Steadman.

Think he grabbed
our missing student.

Skipping the pleasantries today?

What?
The part
where you say hello.

Ask me how I'm doing.

You know, like two humans
might interact.

Last time, you told me
to cut to the chase.

Right.

Just seeing if you're
paying attention. All right.

Chase cut. Let's do this.

Mm.

I pinged the phone,
but I got nothing.

It's offline
or the battery's dead.

Maybe it's out of cell range.

Might take me a little time.

Time I don't have.
Can you pull up a call log?

That I can.

Anything catch your eye?
Yeah.

Eight calls to one number late
last night and then nothing.

Number's registered
to a Lisa Jefferson.

Zeke could be working
with somebody else.

Maybe he took Noah to her.

You got an address?
Coming right at you.

Go away.
Looking for Noah Kennedy.

I have reason to believe
you know where he is.

Who are you?

Lisa Jefferson?

Yeah.
Noah's mom hired me.

Anybody else in the house
with you, Lisa?

I don't know where Noah is.

I need you to help me find him
before it's too late.

May I?

There you go.

Is it broken?

I don't think so,

but I'd definitely
get it looked at.

And that eye.
Thanks.

Noah do this?

God, no. He would never.

Noah is the sweetest guy
in the world.

Your boyfriend?

Kind of.

We met back
at Shelter Stone.

I left after last semester,
but we stay in touch.

It isn't easy
with him being in there,

but we text or talk
when he can get a phone.

When he can sneak away
or get off campus

for a school project,
we find a way to meet up.

So, if it wasn't Noah,
who did all this?

It's my fault.

I messed up.

Last night, I told my ex I
didn't want to see him anymore.

He was so pissed.

And then,
I told Noah.

Your ex is... Zeke?

Zeke?

Like, from Shelter Stone?
The maintenance guy? No.

Zeke's a good guy.

He helped Noah sneak off.
To see you.

I told him not to.

I didn't want him to see this.

But Noah said he was
going to talk to Ray.

Ray's the guy that did this?

Ray Vernon. He's crazy.
Mm.

You dated him?

Sort of.

I mean...

Okay...

He was my drug dealer
back when I was using,

and he supplies
a lot of the kids

at Shelter Stone
with stuff.

We started
hooking up,

and we were going pretty steady
for a few months,

but then I got clean,

and I didn't want anything
to do with him anymore.

Noah was helping me with that.

And Ray doesn't like to hear no.

Where was Noah
gonna confront him?

Talk to, not confront.

Hmm.

I told him that Ray
works the door at Road Rage.

It's a dive bar
just outside of town.

You know if they met up?

I don't know. Um...

I just got a call from Noah

saying that he made it
off campus.

He said he was gonna talk to Ray
and tell him to leave me alone

or he'd call the cops
about the drug dealing.

I didn't mean
to get Noah involved.

I was...

I was just scared.

I should've kept my mouth shut.

It's not your fault.

Hey, it's not your fault.

I'd like to, um,

have a friend of mine come over
and be with you, if that's okay.

Her name is Reenie.

I think you'll like her.
That be all right?

Yeah.
Okay.

Find Noah.

Please.

If anything happens to him,
I'll never forgive myself.

I will.

But first, tell me everything

there is to know
about Ray Vernon.

Okay.

Thanks for coming.

Didn't feel right leaving
her alone like that.
Of course.

It's good for Erika, too.

Gives her something to do
other than just worrying.

What were they thinking?

I don't know. This Ray's
a pretty dangerous guy.

Yeah, and she's just a kid.

Gets into drugs,
the wrong crowd.

Next thing you know,

some older guy like this
has his claws in her,

and she can't get out.

I hope you find
that son of a bitch,

and they lock him away
for the rest of his life.

You okay?

Yeah.

You know...

I was one of the first people
to ever hold Noah

after Erika
gave birth.

And when
he was fussy,

I taught her how to soothe him.

It kills me
that he is in danger.

So, you need to find Ray
and put an end to this.

I had Teddi and Velma
run his name.

He's got several warrants, one
for a violent smash-and-grab,

one for assault.

He's done time for possession,
for dealing.

This guys is, uh,
he's a real lowlife.

Yeah, and he's not gonna
get away with it.

We're documenting
everything.

Every bruise,
every broken lightbulb.

And I'm encouraging her
to press charges.

At the very least, we'll be able
to get a restraining order.

But, first, I need
to find Noah safe.

Yeah.

Thanks for the call.

Yeah.

She okay?
She's pretty shaken up.

Do you have a line
on what happened?

Zeke wasn't trying to hurt Noah,

he was trying to help him
sneak off campus

so they could go scare
this Ray Vernon guy.

Know who that is?

No.
No? Anyway,

Zeke's one of the good guys.

Well, that tracks to me.

Zeke cares about the kids.

I'm gonna check out
this biker bar

Ray works at.

Mind if I tag along?

It's better if you
check out his place.

You have an address?

I will.

We're at capacity,
amigo.

Come back some other time.

Not looking for a drink.

Looking for some info on a guy

who was running the door
last night.

Ray.

We don't really do info.

Hit the road.

I'm looking for
a missing teenage boy.

He was here last night,
and Ray's involved.

You don't have to
be involved.

Of course,
I could call the police,

and then, you know,
everyone's involved.

Just answer
a few simple questions,

you'll never hear from me again.

What do you want to know?

Was there a teenage boy here
last night,

maybe with another guy?
Talked to Ray?

Yeah.

Yeah, almost, uh,
closing time.

Around 1:30
in the morning.

Anything else?
Kid and his buddy come up to Ray

talking about drugs
and some girl.

I don't know
anything else.

It's not really
my business.

How'd Ray react?

Ray's a whack job.

He lost it.

All right? He started
screaming at them.

Might've pulled a piece.
Couldn't see for sure.

But the kid and his buddy
got spooked,

took off back to his car.

But Ray didn't let it go.

Ray jumped in his car,
peeled off after them.

Thanks for the info, amigo.

Did you find Ray?

No, but he was
at this bar last night.

So was Noah and Zeke.

I guess they came here
to confront him.

Things got ugly.

Then Zeke peeled off
in Zeke's car,

and Ray went after 'em.

Do you know where they went?

No. Let me see what I can find

between here
and where Ray lives.

Head of security
at the school right now

is at Ray's house.

Stand by,
we're still digging into Ray.

A deed of a remote cabin
he owns.

Sending you a new pin,
stand by.

It's not his home address.
It looks like

he inherited it
from his deceased father

a few years back.

You know, it's not too far
from where you are now.

The way Lisa described Ray,

if he's got Noah and Zeke
with him,

what are the odds
that they're still alive?

What the hell?

Colter? What was that?

Are you all right?

Send an ambulance to my location

right away.
I think I found Zeke.

Here.

Hey.

Reenie, I've got bad news.

Found Zeke.

Is Noah with him?

No.

Zeke is dead. He was shot.

There's nothing I could've done.

Oh, my God.

Was it Ray?

Most likely.

Looks like he ran them
off the road.

Noah's definitely injured.

How bad?

Looks like he was able to crawl
from the car.

Then he ran.

Ray went after him.

I got company.

That's far enough.

Stand down, Shaw.

It's me, Ritter.

Was coming back from Ray's,
I saw your truck.

And Zeke.

What the hell kind of mess
did Noah step in?

Police and ambulance are
on their way. They'll sort it.

But you won't be
waiting around for 'em,

will you?
Wasn't planning on it.

Me neither.

I think Ray's out there
hunting Noah

right now.

Police will just
push him to panic.

I'm coming with you.

Ex-Navy,

two tours overseas.

Don't worry,
I won't slow you down.

Happy to have you.

Noah's out there, somewhere.

24 hours, wounded.

He's lost and dehydrated.

I got another bootprint.

Find something?

Drops of blood.

Except they're dry

and there's less quantity than
there was half a mile back.

Well, what does that mean?

Means the blood in the wound
is coagulating.

Well...

that's good news, right?
Good and bad.

Good news is,
there's a 70% chance

that the wounds weren't
life-threatening.

And the bad news?

The bad news is,
there's not gonna be

much of a blood trail
for us to follow.

Where did you go, Noah?

Give me a sign.

What's that?

There's no corrosion.

Still works.

Hasn't been out here long.

Ray probably dropped it
when he was chasing Noah.

The only thing that matters is
where they went next.

Did they follow further along
this ridge here?

Or did they go
down by the river?

Should we split up?
Yeah.

That's probably our best play.
We don't have a lot of time.

I'll take the ridge.

You track down
back this way.

The terrain's probably
a little bit rougher.

You'll probably move
quicker than me.

Hey, Ritter.

Be careful. Watch your back.

Don't you move!

I swear I'll shoot you.

No need for that.
No one's moving.

You better not.

Noah.

You don't know me.
That's right.

Your mother hired me.

I help find people.
She's worried about you.

We can call her right now.

Stop! Don't move.

I know you're scared.

I know you don't want to
trust anyone right now.

I know Ray's chasing you.

I know he's still after you.

Let me help you get out of here.

Is this yours?

When Reenie introduced me
to your mother,

I noticed she was wearing
something just like it.

You know Reenie?
I do.

I do know Reenie. Yeah,
we work together sometimes.

She's very smart,
she's very pretty,

and she's very certain that

she's never been wrong
about anything in her life.

That's Reenie.

Is that Zeke's gun?

Yeah.

Trade you, okay?

There you go.

Ray's still
out here.

Yeah, yeah, we do need to go,

but first thing we need is to
take care of that leg.

Have a seat.

Nice job with the tourniquet,
by the way.

I bet my mom is freaking out.

Yeah, yeah, she is.

That's what moms do.

My mom used to freak out
all the time, too.

You're probably
going to want to

leave out a couple of details

about your little
adventure here.

You know
what I mean?

Like that crazy psycho Ray.

We just went to
talk to him,

and tell him to
leave Lisa alone,

but then he went ballistic

and chased us out of
that parking lot

and pulled up next to us and...

shot Zeke.

So we went off
the side of the road.

I grabbed Zeke's gun

and took off.

Ray almost got me
a couple of times,

but I was able to hide

and stay away
from him.

Is Zeke dead?

There was nothing
I could do to help him.

It's my fault.
No.

It's all my fault.
No, no.

It is.
It's not your fault.

No, this is Ray's fault.

There's nothing
you could've done.

You were brave, what you did,

standing up to a bully
like that.

You've been out here,
alone, on the run,

for an entire day.
Very brave.

All that outdoor crap

they taught us in school
came in handy.

That's right.
I need you to

be brave for a little
bit longer, okay?

Because I got to
get you up to the road.

This is gonna hurt,

but I think you can do it.

We've got to go. Come on.
It's time.

What was that?
Shh. Come on, come on.

Sit down.
Get down.

Stay right there.

Ritter?

We've got to stop
meeting like this.

I thought
you were Ray.

Be careful,
he's still out here.

Yeah, I know.
He shot me,

but I got a few
at him, too.

It's all right,
I got you.

Hey, hey, you found him.

Hey, kid.
Is he going to be okay?

Just keep your voice down.

Yeah, he got the drop on me.

I messed up, I was just
looking at a footprint.

Doesn't matter.

Keep pressure on that, okay?

Yeah.
I got you.

I'm gonna be okay.
Yeah.

You just get Noah

and get him out of here.

Mmm!

Bobby, listen to me.

Always.

I'm about
ten and a half miles

southwest of Shelter
Stone Academy in the woods.

I got a man down

who works for the school.

I got your location.

Suspect is still out here,
armed and dangerous.

Copy that.

Help is on the way.

Water.

Keep your eyes peeled, okay?

Come on, we gotta go.

You got this, all right?
we're almost there.
I can't.

I need a break,
just for a minute.
You can't. Come on.

We're almost there.
Just for
a minute, please.

Come on.
Please.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Sit down right here.

We'll take
a little rest here, okay,

then tackle the last leg.

Deal?
Deal.

Okay. I got
some water here.

Finish that.
You'll feel better.

That's better.
Yeah?

I can make it now.

Ready? Come on.

How about we
stay instead?

Throw the kid
to the side.

That's not gonna happen.

Come on, man, listen,

why don't we talk this out, huh?

We can come to
some kind of solution.

I've already got the solution.

Let's not be rash.

You've been out here 24 hours,

you're confused.
Let's talk this through.

Shut up!

Noah!

Lisa's lucky to have
someone in her life like you,

who cares about her so much.

I just wanted to
help her.

Yeah, you did.

Noah.

Thank God.

I am never letting you
out of my sight again.

Mom, I'm fine.

What were you thinking?

So, I guess you've met.

You're okay?

I heard they found
Ray unconscious.

You weren't worried about me

or something like that,
were you?

No.
You sure?

'Cause it seems like
you're worried.

Not even a little bit?
I won't tell anybody.

Just... this much.
There it is.

I thought that much.
Mm.

Ms. Greene,
I trust I won't be

hearing from you
any time soon.

Oh, well, I don't think
I'll be taking

any further
legal action,

if that's
what you're asking.

Well, that's
good to hear.

How's Ritter?

He's gonna
make it.

Good. I feel responsible.

You found Noah
and brought him back.

I can't thank you
enough for that.

Well, I'm just glad
he's back safe and sound.

What I said about
your school yesterday...

That it was more
like a prison,

but that kids would
find a way to get out.

Yeah, that.

I misjudged this place.

Noah was out in the woods
for 24 hours.

He was alone, afraid.

But he managed to
avoid his pursuers,

he found water.

He learned all that from here.

Yes.

Shelter Stone fosters community,

but also teaches
the value of self-reliance.

I'm sorry I misjudged you, too.

I appreciate
your help.

Hmm.

What's that?

Well, I-I just must've
heard incorrectly.

Did you say that
you misjudged something?

So-so you were wrong?

You got a check for me?

I sure do.

And I took it
upon myself to apply

the family and
friends discount.

Fair enough,

as long as this makes us even.

Oh, there are
not enough favors

in the universe
that you could do

that would make us even.

I miss you already.
Hmm.

Hey, um...

...you made
my friend happy

and that makes me happy.

So, thank you.

Hey, where are you going?

Bet you're happy to have a break
from the great outdoors.

I don't know, I might take
another day in the woods

to get out of chemistry.

I hear your mother's not
making you leave Shelter Stone.

It took some convincing,

but she knows I'm happy here.

Good.

You know, when I was a kid, um,

my dad would
always give us

these-these challenges.

These tasks.

He'd push my brother
and I pretty hard.

Sort of like
they do here, I guess.

Anyway, every time

we accomplished
something great,

he would always give us
something to remember it by.

Found that
when I was tracking you.

You earned that.

And every time you look at it,

you'll be reminded of
what you accomplished.

That you survived,

and that you're
better for it.

♪ Have you ever been out
walking in the snow? ♪

Thanks.
Yeah.

You be good.

♪ Tried to get back

All right, what's next?

Well, I have actually
got something

super interesting.

How do we feel about Manhattan?

The Big Apple?

Where am I gonna
park this thing?

Well, actually,

it's Manhattan, Kansas.

Oh, even better.
Only 1,700 miles away.
