Hold it.

Hey, Coulter, did you make it to Napa?

I did.

So tell me about the missing woman.

Quinn Ridgely, co -CEO of a new software company. Her wife, Grace, putting up

the 50K reward.

They've gone for, what, nine hours now?

Actually, almost ten.

Rini will fill you in when you get there. She's how we got the job.

I'm off to the property now.

See you tonight.

Hey.

Hey. You made good time. Yeah. Thanks for doing that. Of course. No problem.

Walter Shaw.

Elliot Rush.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Reneith. Plus one for the weekend.

Okay, well, we should really get to work.

Talk to the wife?

Yes, but before you do, please know I really had to vouch for you with the

owner. He was not keen on bringing someone in. He wanted security to handle

Got it. Great. Okay, I will catch up with you later.

Sure.

Here if you need me.

I did not want any surprises. No, no, no, not at all. I'm just surprised,

actually, Russell's not here.

He told you about our dinner? Told him about the dinner. Well, you know that

he's not exactly a wine and corporate retreat kind of guy. No, I don't think

It's not like that between us.

It's all good. It's, you know, it is whatever it is.

But we should probably get to work.

We should. Okay. Okay.

What is this event, anyway?

Corporate Leadership Summit.

Bigwigs from various industries to put their heads together.

Yacht measuring contest, right? Got it.

Actually, some real good has come out of things like this, okay?

They stopped wars, brought Internet to third world countries.

I mean, they even workshopped the first smartphone in an event like this. Hmm.

Impressive. I didn't realize your firm was on its level.

It isn't yet.

But I won a pretty big case at my last firm for the host of the event, so, you

know, scored myself an invite.

Nelliot? He seems nice.

You know, why don't we focus on the case?

Right. Quinn Ridgely, missing woman, what do you got? Well, her wife, Gray,

thinks it was corporate kidnapping.

You're not so sure.

Corporate kidnapping?

It's strictly a money play.

There's no ransom note, no call.

I don't know.

She could have just wandered off or something.

Yeah, well, I don't want to mess with your process.

My process?

Yeah, a little thing you do.

I do a thing?

Yeah, you do a thing. Okay, all right.

Police? No, a lot of high -profile people here, and the owner of the

afraid of bad press.

He wants to keep the whole thing under wraps.

Understood. It's not a camera.

Yeah. What does security say? Looks like they're pretty strapped up.

There's no sign of her near the bungalow, nor on the grounds.

Reynolds will give you the download. He's the head of security.

So far, they have nothing.

Nope. That's why Gray was able to convince him to let me bring you in.

Where's Gray now? In her villa.

Follow me.

Hey, Gray.

This is the man I was telling you about.

Walter Shaw.

Thanks for coming. Of course.

So, I need to know everything that happened around the time your wife

disappeared.

I was on a sunset hike with some of the other CEOs.

Quinn didn't want to come because she doesn't like that kind of networking

thing.

When I got back, the shower and the bathroom was on, but when I called her

she didn't answer. The door was locked, so I busted it open. The room was

trashed. There was blood on the floor, and she was just gone.

We didn't even mention the idea of corporate kidnapping.

Why would you think that?

Well, it's happened once before.

One of our top engineers from Lithuania got taken about six months ago, and we

ended up paying the ransom to get him back.

So it's possible they were thinking they paid once, maybe they'll pay again.

We were advised against paying it, but Quinn didn't listen.

Any other indicators that you or your wife were being targeted?

Anything at all?

It hasn't been easy.

Going from garage man to rock star. It happened so fast.

Our company developed some controversial applications for identifying and

killing deep fakes.

What started as a class project in grad school just blew up. Quinn had a really

hard time dealing with all the attention, let alone navigating the

the company.

Any threats?

All kinds.

Quinn was really nervous about coming here in the first place.

But... I convinced her that nothing bad could happen in a place like this.

I'm sorry, I have to ask.

Any domestic issues between the two of you? Anything at all?

No. Why?

I know. It's the blanket.

Someone sleeping on the couch?

You two in a fight?

It's a disagreement.

We have differing opinions on the direction of the company.

I'm going to do everything I can to bring your wife back to you.

I need to see where she disappeared from. Do you mind if we... Over here.

After you.

Looks like there was a struggle.

Security thinks she fought back.

Yeah, no one heard anything.

Well, Gray was on the sunset hike.

They do a meditation at the top of the mountain.

Meditation, huh?

Yes, meditation.

I was there, too. Sort of a hike with some mindfulness sprinkled in.

Maybe you should try it sometime.

Do you think it's strange that nothing else in this room is broken, just the

mirror?

I don't think she was put into it.

I think she hit it with her fist.

Okay, why?

The blood starts here, right?

Then... Then...

All the way to...

Meaning the window was open from the inside after she was injured.

It's a wine tasting, don't judge.

Trying hard not to. You know, I think you might even like it.

Wine or tasting wine with millionaires? Both. And then we can work in a little

yoga. I'm good, thanks.

Are you really?

Is that what you've been doing with Elliot?

In free time, you do wine tasting, yoga classes? Yeah. He's actually open to new

things. I love new things.

Can't get enough new things. Just, you know, not any of those new things.

Okay. Here we go. You're 12 o 'clock. William Locke. He owns this whole place,

and he's hosting the event.

He's got security with him.

Yep. Play nice.

Yeah.

William Locke.

Colter Shaw.

Colter, meet Peter Reynolds, my head of security.

You spoken with Quinn's wife, Gray? I did. How's she doing?

You know, she's scared and looking for answers.

Understandable. She just wants to know where her wife is.

I've already assured her my entire team is out looking for Quinn.

We've also reached out to a corporate kidnapping consultant.

I don't think Quinn was taken by corporate kidnappers.

I think she could still be somewhere on the premises.

I doubt that.

You scanned the entire property? Yeah, better than that.

I combed through the security footage myself.

My team did a full grid search.

No trace of persons last night.

I'd really love to look at that footage if I could.

I wish I could do that.

Why can't you?

I signed the mutual NDA with all of our guests here to protect everyone's

privacy. That means all security footage is off limits to anyone outside of my

team. Well, I'm sure we can find an exception.

It's just paperwork.

That's not what's going on here, though. It's, uh, something different.

You don't want me here.

You have to understand where I'm coming from.

Any leak or tweet might have a real mess on my hands.

Something like this gets out, it could tank all of our stock prices.

Well, how long do you think it could keep a lid on something like this? One

your high -profile guests is missing.

Either Quinn has been kidnapped or she's somewhere else on this property. Now,

I'm guessing both of those possibilities would up the drama.

That is, if it got out.

Is that a threat, Ms. Green?

Yeah, need I remind you that you and your plus one are guests here?

Good to know where I stand.

I was assured that this process would be fast and discreet. It's the only reason

I allowed for you and Gray to bring Mr. Shaw here in. In order to do my job, I

need full access. And you have it.

Full access to every inch of my property. I just ask you to conduct any

discreetly.

I am confident that with the help of my security, you'll find Quinn.

I hope you're right.

If you don't mind, I need to get back to my guests.

What's wrong?

I know what I'm being lied to.

They're hiding something.

Yeah.

Bobby, we need your help.

Damn, see?

At the worst timing.

It's just unboxing.

Huh. Well, do you need more time, or can we get to work? No, you already ruined

the moment.

Go on.

You get that winery I sent you?

Yeah. Mr. CEO, wine, yoga, place looks posh as hell.

It is, and Coulter's loving every minute of it. I bet.

So what's up? All right, head of security says there's nothing on the

but he won't let us take a peek. And you want me to facilitate that.

Exactly.

Whoa.

Okay. I can't even get into it. They have an air gap.

Meaning it's not connected to any outside networks.

There's no way in at all?

The only way to see the footage is to get directly into the mainframe.

Can you get a location?

Running a power draw map now.

Got it.

Sending it to you now.

Not for nothing, but there's going to be a lot of eyes.

Luckily for me, that is a you problem.

All right. Thanks, Bobby.

Well, you've heard him. It's a you problem. Let's go.

I got this. But you got it how?

What are you going to do, knock him out? I'm going to knock him out in front of

animals and put him to sleep. Okay, calm down. Just, there's a much better way

to do this.

Watch.

Hi.

Excuse me. I was wondering, is this where the aura cleansing is supposed to

Ma 'am, you can't be in this area.

Oh, really? I...

I'm sorry. I just... I have no idea where I'm supposed to be, and I thought

event was supposed to be here.

Whatever it is, it's got to be back in that direction.

Oh.

Well, look, I know this is a lot to ask, but would you be willing to walk me

there? I just really don't want to get lost again.

Please?

Okay.

Oh, thank you so much.

You know, I really can't tell you how much I appreciate you doing this for me.

mean, you're just so helpful, and you're going out of your way. It's such a

great...

How'd you get rid of the garb?

You have your thing, I have mine.

I've got about five minutes.

So,

Elliot, how'd you guys meet?

He is a lawyer at my old firm.

We used to have a thing, but it got kind of messy, so I broke it off. Then, I

don't know, we started texting, and since I'm not at the firm anymore and I

my own outfit, I invited him here.

I see.

What? You have thoughts?

No.

No, I'm just curious as well.

Because notice, I didn't ask about you and Billy.

I was professional.

You know, she needed my help. No need to explain yourself.

I'm not explaining myself. You never do.

It's just focused on the work.

You see anything?

Maybe.

You look right here.

Watch the tree.

Ready?

Someone messed with the footage.

Someone spliced something out.

Bobby, you're up. What's poppin'? Someone cut something out of the

Can you retrieve it?

Yeah, I could.

I'd have to break it to the server.

You'd have to plug me in. Any port on the server should give me access via

phone. Okay.

And like Flynn, I let the magician do his work.

All right. Looks like I got it. Check your screen.

I am back now.

That's definitely Quinn.

Yeah.

But who's that?

Who'd she be meeting in the middle of the night?

What the hell? Where'd she go?

Sony video footage I got.

Can you rewind that for us so we can watch it again?

All right.

Here you go.

I don't get it. Why didn't she try running or fight them off?

She knows them.

That's why Reynolds lied about the footage.

Aura cleansing, huh?

I found him.

That's your boss?

Go talk to him.

Why'd you lie to us about the security footage?

You deleted evidence.

Why? Leave protecting.

Your honor, I'll answer to you.

Thanks. Okay.

Got your text.

Came as fast as I could.

Hi. Elliot Rush, attorney at law.

You called your lawyer?

Oh, he's not for us. No, she called me here for you, man.

Why would I need a lawyer? To state the obvious, there's a missing woman out

there. And you tampered with evidence, so you're suspect numero uno.

Wait, stop.

Stop. You said nothing about tampering with evidence.

That's like serious jail time, depending on how this ends.

But you might have a way out of it if you answer our question.

I know I'm not technically your lawyer yet.

I advise you to take this deal.

So who are you protecting?

We need to talk, don't we?

We know you have Quinn. We saw the footage.

What footage?

Reynolds gave you up.

Where is she?

And don't wave that NDA in my face.

Um, thank you.

So, look, I didn't do anything to hurt her, I swear.

She came to me looking for help. She had some...

stresses in her life that she was having a hard time dealing with. Like what?

Her and Gray had just had a huge fight.

They were selling a big stake in the company and Gray wanted to sell to the

highest bidder, but Quinn, she was having an ethical dilemma.

And she comes to you for guidance?

She knew that I'd help people resolve difficult issues in the past using, um,

well, therapeutic substances.

Drugs? What drugs?

Well, it's not heroin.

Toad venom.

Like... actual toad venom yeah that's not something you want to mess around

well it has its uses so after she fought with gray and had a bit of a temper

tantrum you know smashed her fist against the mirror climbed out of the

and she came to see me i gave her the toad venom and i directed her to take it

over by the lookout point near the pond so why lie if you didn't hurt her why

not just come clean i was freaked out i didn't know what happened to her You

don't understand. I was trying to help her. I feel terrible about what

and I want to make it right.

Please, just tell me what to do.

Well, you can start by taking us to that lookout point.

I'm telling you, my guys have searched that entire area. I don't care.

I need you to show me exactly where you told her to go.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

The lookout point is about a quarter of a mile away.

We turn left at these tractors and head up the hill.

Yeah, I don't think she went that way.

How do you figure that?

I think something... something made her go off this way.

Look at these branches. See, they're broken.

There's blood on the edge up here.

It's on the wire here.

See that?

And I'm guessing she came through here. She wasn't stable. She was using the

vines and the wire for support.

So over here, look at this.

See that? So she... Yeah, she went off this way.

And the drugs you gave her kicked in.

Maybe something grabbed your attention.

Is this part of the property?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm having some villas built.

Uh, permits finally came through. We break ground next week.

No cameras?

No need.

There's nothing here yet.

Mm -hmm. But Reynolds and his team searched this area already. They didn't

anything.

Is this during here?

Yeah, it's an old water trap.

One of the quirks of being an older vineyard.

How long has it been boarded up?

Years. As long as I've had the property.

We always keep it covered to make sure there's no accident.

Someone's been messing with these boards here. Look at this.

See these screws?

That one's missing here.

That doesn't make any sense. Construction hasn't started yet.

Someone's been down here.

It doesn't look like there's anyone down there.

You mind? Yeah.

Thanks.

What is it?

Gwen's glasses.

What was she doing down there?

There's something out.

There's no way that's Quinn's foot.

How can you be so sure? Quick line.

She used the decomposed bodies.

That's the white residue you see.

And judging by the way the foot looks, it's been buried for at least three

months. Plus the soil around it. There are other body parts buried with it.

Wait, but if it's not Quinn's, whose is it?

Where the hell is she?

Maybe she saw something she shouldn't have.

You were planning on breaking ground next week?

Yeah. Which means this whole area was about to be dug up. Whoever buried that

body knew they were up against the clock. They had to move it. They weren't

expecting Quinn to come stumbling through.

Catching him in the act?

Why leave all the evidence?

Maybe Quinn interrupted him midway through the removal.

They had to hurry.

Judging by the amount of quicklime and the organic matter in that soil, more

than one body was buried down there.

What the hell is happening here? Why are there so many bodies buried on my

property? I don't know.

We need to figure out a way to find Quinn, in fact.

What is it?

Tire tracks. They look fresh.

From a utility vehicle, I guess.

Something... Small enough to not make a ruckus, but powerful enough to carry

something heavy out of here. Yeah, we have things like that all over the

property. The grounds people use them all the time.

Where's your maintenance shed?

Right just down that way.

And Reynolds, it's fully at your disposal. Nobody knows the property like

Thank you.

You know, I think I need to get the police involved.

And for that, I'm going to need a lawyer.

I'll drop the contract now.

But you owe me one.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Maybe.

Is this yours?

We have a fleet of them, but I'm sorry, guests really aren't supposed to be on

this part of the ground, so if you don't mind.

Not a gut, actually.

Colter Shaw.

Rona. Rona.

I was wondering if you could help me out with something.

Depends. Did you tell me who moved that ATV last night?

I was off yesterday.

But I can certainly ask around.

Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that.

While you're doing that, can you find out who moved those three barrels that

were resting right over there?

Barrels?

Yeah, if you look at the floor, though, you see those rings?

That indicates that there were three metal barrels up until recently, maybe

yesterday. There were three metal barrels resting right over here. If you

look at these marks here, that would indicate that the barrels were tipped

on their side and then rolled out right toward the UTV, which, of course, is

usually the best way to roll barrels like that since they're generally pretty

heavy. How did you know that?

Occupational hazard.

Part of my job.

Strange line of work you must be in.

You have no idea.

Anyway, would you mind looking into that?

Who might have moved these barrels?

Well, it's a winery, not a barrel.

But I'm happy to ask.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Thanks again.

All right.

Hey, yeah, we got a problem.

Find out who she's calling?

Working as fast as I can here, my guy. Not exactly easy what I do.

I got it. We're kind of on a time crunch. Always is.

Okay, I can't get an ID. Whoever she's calling is using a burner, but I am

getting a ping from inside the property.

Any location?

Barrel room, basement level.

I don't want to hurt you any more than I have to.

Who sent you?

Give me a name.

Give me a name!

Pardue. Jesse Pardue. I work for him. Doing what?

He's a builder.

He pay you to move those barrels?

Were you there when he dug up those bodies?

What did you do with Gwen?

Nothing, man.

I'm telling the truth.

Last I saw, she was alive.

Where is she?

Where is she?

You ready?

I warned your guy, Haddock, about Shaw snooping around looking for her.

I told him to move the barrels. But if Shaw finds them...

What are you doing?

I thought we had a deal.

I'll get you your money in two days.

You don't understand.

My company is set to sell in 48 hours.

It is worth more money than you could spend in your whole life.

You just need to wait.

I don't think I have time anymore.

I'll give you whatever I have now.

I'll empty my bank account. I just need a phone and I can literally wire it to

you in ten minutes.

You must think I'm pretty dumb, don't you?

Giving you a phone so you can call for help?

I would never.

I promise. If you let me go, I would never say a word to anyone about what I

saw. I promise.

I can't take that chance.

I can't believe I missed it.

I fired a contractor a few years back for not adhering to safety protocols.

Guy's name was Jesse Perdue. Did some work around here.

That explained how he knew where to bury the bodies where no one would look for

them.

Plus, he had a name with the groundkeeper.

Right? Sneak out of the property?

I can't believe I missed it.

The only thing that matters right now is that we find Quinn before they get rid

of her.

Rini? Hey, how far out are you?

On our way to Pardew's house right now, ETA, five minutes. Okay, the cops are on

their way, too. They might make it there first.

Anything else from Pardew's guy?

No, says he won't talk without his lawyer.

But in the meantime, I did some digging, and it sounds like several workers

mysteriously disappeared over the years.

No one looked into it?

Well, rumor had it that they were migrant workers who returned to their

countries. No one thought to look into it.

I just got word. Police are arriving at Purdue's place now.

Did you hear that?

Got it.

You all right? Your house is empty.

One's not there.

Then where the hell is she?

Hey, Poulter. Velma, I need your help and FAP. I know Rini's got you looking

files on Pardue.

Already on it. What are you looking for? Remote job sites you've worked on.

Got one.

He's not answering.

You're supposed to move those barrels.

Something must have happened.

Shaw must have found them.

We've got to kill her and get out of here. What if we don't? What if there's

plan B?

I've been thinking.

Maybe we should reconsider the lady's offer.

The kind of money she's talking about, we can go anywhere.

You think the cops will just stop looking for us? We could explain.

What happened to those guys were accidents. Things like that happen on

construction sites all the time.

You didn't actually kill anyone. You just buried their bodies. Don't you get

I gave the orders to cut corners.

Those guys died on my watch. I covered it up.

We're not murderers.

You're right.

What are you going to do after you shoot?

People are looking for me.

You can't just hide my body anymore.

They'll find it.

I don't think that's going to be an issue with this witch, Amber.

Probably split up.

Right there. That's far enough. Stop.

I'm not here to arrest you. I just want Quinn.

Hand her over.

We'll leave. I don't think you're in a position to negotiate.

Drop that gun!

You know I can't do that.

I'm not a threat.

Those other bodies?

Accident. Pride construction.

Dangerous. I get it.

No one else has to get hurt. Just give me Quinn, and we'll leave.

I don't know what you got.

Saying that pointing a gun at me.

She's innocent.

You want to kill an innocent woman?

I'll do what I have to do.

Let's get you home.

I wasn't sure how this was all going to shake out.

It worked out.

Thank you.

I misjudged you.

All good.

Quinn's safe and sound, right? The other bodies?

You were right. They're all missing migrant workers.

At least the families have closure.

Can you imagine going years not knowing what really happened?

Sometimes we get high, sometimes we get low.

Moving so fast with nowhere to go.

He's around here somewhere.

There he is.

Ta -da!

Your payment.

Gray wanted me to say how grateful she was for everything that you've done.

She even offered some stock options, but I told her that you always prefer a

traditional payment.

And did you take the same deal for your cut?

No, I did not.

What can I say? I like options.

So, uh, you guys had an out? Yeah, Elliot had the deposition he has to prep

It wasn't exactly the restful weekend that we had in mind. No, but it did have

surprising dose of adventure.

It's not every day you can say, help find a missing woman.

It's incredible what you do.

Thank you.

Thanks for letting us rope you in. It's good to meet you.

Yeah, likewise. It was really nice to put a face to the name. I've heard a lot

of interesting things.

Let me check the car.

I just wanted to say thank you.

You know I can really count on you.

Especially with work.

Hope he knows how lucky he is.

Oh, he knows.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
