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.
