Oh, God.

Yo, got an interesting job for you in
Buffalo, New York.

Talk to me.

His name is Finn Helms, electrician.

Disappeared last night, never came home
from work. His wife offered a $10 ,000

reward. Any other details?

Yeah. She's eight months pregnant.

God, Buffalo, New York. Yeah, I could be
there in a couple hours.

Great, I'll let her know.

Hey, Randy, I need a favor.

Yeah, man, what's up?

You remember that neurologist I was
telling you about, the one my dad was

working with, Walt Fleming?

Yeah, yeah, you met his son in Boston,
right?

That's the one, yeah, yeah. So I called
Yale and Stanford, talked to a couple of

the department heads, tried to figure
out what those two were working on.

any luck? Not much. They were telling me
that they were working on something

called the Chronostasis Institute.

What do they do?

I don't know what they do. That's the
thing, I was hoping maybe you could poke

around a little bit, find something out
for me. Yeah, you know it.

But, you know, we're talking analog era,
patchy records and all. Yeah, I'll just

take whatever you can get.

I got you, brother.

Thanks, buddy.

Hi. Culture Shaw.

Uh, Grace.

Thank you for coming. Yeah. Please, come
in. Thank you.

So your husband's been missing since
last night? Yeah, Tech said that he had

work late.

Works for the DWP. That's right.

I tried to wait up for him, but I fell
asleep.

He never came home.

Now Finn's phone keeps going to
voicemail, and none of his friends have

heard from him.

And today was my eight -month
ultrasound.

We were going to talk birth plans with
our doctor.

He never would have missed that.

He was way too excited to meet our
little girl.

Look, you can see for yourself.

Sure.

Almost everything in our house is a hand
-me -down or used.

Except for this room.

He's been putting it together for
months.

He wants the best for our girl.

Doesn't even want me going back to work
after she's born so I can be there for

her.

Okay. And this is his? This is Finn's?

Yeah. Do you mind if I go through it?
No, please. Okay.

Maybe your husband cut himself while he
was working up here?

No, I would have seen it.

But he's come home from work with burns
and bruises before.

What's that all about?

His supervisor pushes him so hard. Finn
says accidents happen.

So, is it possible maybe something
happened at work last night? What,

called you about that?

Yeah, no, not this guy.

Okay, I'm going to start there. I just
need the address of the job site.

As you can see, we don't have a lot of
money.

But everything I've put together,
everything I have, it's yours.

Just please bring Finn home.

I'll do everything I can for you.

Excuse me.

Hi. Is he your supervisor?

Yeah, Kelly's back by the box.

All right, thank you.

Hey!

This is what happens when you bond the
wrong leg! I saw her. That's 7 ,000

volts! You touch it, you're a human
torch! I didn't know.

And that's what kills people. Do better,
or I'll put you back on scrap detail.

Excuse me.

You promotion of the city?

Neither. I'm looking for Finn Helms.

Missing.

Wife hired me to find him. Said he was
working last night. No one heard from

since. You said last night?

Yeah. Don't go get the gun. Get off the
truck.

Something happen last night?

I wouldn't know.

I haven't seen Finn in months.

I haven't seen him in months.

Two months to be exact.

Fired him.

Well, his wife didn't mention that.

Guess we all got secrets.

Why'd you fire him?

Caught him taking materials off my job
site.

Said he was borrowing it for another
job.

It was moonlighting.

I don't know.

Didn't ask, didn't care.

Thief's a thief.

Now, if you don't mind, I've got an
inspector coming in two hours. Hope you

him. Thank you.

Yeah.

You buddies with Finn, I noticed you
seemed a little concerned when I brought

him up. Yeah. Look, man, Kelly's already
on my ass, okay? So I don't want to

attract any more attention. I really
need this job, okay? Nothing like that.

I'm just trying to figure out what
happened to him, where he might have

now your boss said that he fired him a
few months ago for stealing for another

job? I mean, I wouldn't exactly call it
stealing, but yeah, he said he was going

to borrow some stuff. He's going to
replace it. Oh, okay.

What was that job?

He was just pulling cash gigs off Power
Up.

Off of Power Up? Yeah.

What's that? What's power up?

Power up is like an app some of the guys
around here use just to get extra work

and stuff. Like upgrade a board, bypass
a meter, stuff like that.

Why would he lie to his wife about
something like that?

I don't know.

Maybe because not all the jobs on there
are above board.

Okay. And is he still doing that kind of
work? Yeah. I mean, sometimes he kicks

me cash to help out.

Was he working last night? Yeah.

He called me, asked if I wanted to help
him on a rewire job, but at that date,

yeah. Okay. Did he mention where that
job might be?

You find something on thing? Not his
van, no sign of him.

This house job he was working on, it
looked like they were tapping into

probably stealing information.

Okay. Explains why he didn't want to
call his wife.

Something went wrong here, though.
Someone got electrocuted.

On the ladder, there's melted rubber.
That can't be good.

Pen? I don't know. There's two sets of
tools here. It's definitely not a job

you'd want to do solo.

Okay, so someone else must have been
there, left in a hurry, yeah?

Listen, there's a security camera on the
house that I spotted. It's pointing in

this direction. Can you tap into that
thing?

Okay. All right.

I'm in.

Sending you the feed now.

Looks like they're carrying a body.

Really hope that's not fitting that
tarp.

You didn't know where that truck's
going.

I'm looking.

Okay. I got on a traffic cam across
town, but then I lose it.

Anything in the area?

Place they could hide or maybe dump a
body?

Yep. Looks like wood.

Some undeveloped lots, maybe.

Great. Can you send me a pen?

Already did.

All right. I got it. Thanks, Randy.

The liability shield is a non
-negotiable. Jerry, the clause stays.

Okay. Well, if you want to contest it,
you can put it in writing.

Great. I look forward to getting it.

Sorry to interrupt.

No, no worries. What's up? You have a
visitor?

Oh, I didn't see anything on the...
Schedule yeah, yeah, I think it's more

like a walk -in type of thing

Mark

What

are you doing here?

Well, I'm in town for work. I remembered
you lived here turns out. There's only

one lawyer named Reni in Denver

Wait, aren't you a bartender?

Close.

I'm a brand rep for a mezcal company.

We're launching a new product in
Denver's one of our test markets.

I'm sorry to drop in like this. I just
wanted to see if you were free for

dinner.

I am flattered, really. But I am just
slammed, so...

Well, if you do need to come up for air,
I'll be at the Howlin' downtown.

You can call or drop by.

No pressure.

I will keep that in mind.

Uh -uh.

Not a word.

Hey!

What do you guys got?

Who the hell are you?

What the hell is that?

None of your business.

I know you ain't a cop.

Tell you what, why don't you crawl down
in that hole and unwrap that tarp? Don't

move!

This guy don't have the balls.

Crawl down in the hole and unwrap the
tarp.

What about Finn? He feel the same way?

Finn's freaked out after the accident.

Did he call the cops?

Oh, man, Paolo talked him down. Who's
Paolo?

The guy who hired us. Said he was going
to take Finn for a couple beers. Well,

Finn never made it home.

You know something? There's something
you want to tell me?

Where Paolo might have taken Finn?

He has a building downtown.

Downtown, okay.

We're going to call this in.

All right.

Hey, Paolo.

You gotta help me, man.

You didn't do this to you?

No.

I was just... I'm gonna scare him into
keeping quiet.

I mean, I always screwed up.

I called the cops.

I couldn't let them do that.

myself in here. I mean, you gotta call
somebody. You gotta help.

Did you see who hit you?

Some crazy chick.

You didn't know who she was?

No offense, I did.

She got out of the car. She went
straight for him.

I think she was his wife.

This woman, was she pregnant?

No, no. Not this lady.

Wait, you think Finn was having an
affair?

I don't know. I think it's possible.

You check his socials, see if he's had
contact with anyone?

Not seeing anything since.

Whoever she is, there's no obvious
digital connect.

Maybe they met at work?

You check his power -up account?

Power -up?

Oh, this might be something.

What do you got?

Okay, a woman named Adele Messino hired
Finn to install some lighting a few

weeks ago, and they got some messages on
the app. This chat is awfully personal.

So what are they saying?

She says, so crazy seeing you after all
this time.

Felt like fate.

Smiley, blushy face.

Heart, heart.

And then he said, yeah, really good
seeing you. Later.

Any idea how they met?

Okay.

Looks like they met on the dating app
about three years ago.

Well, he was seeing his wife at that
time, right?

Yeah. I got the archives of their chat.

So it looks like they met when Finn and
Grace were on a break, and then they got

back together, and he ended things with
Adele, and been no contact since.

So she hired him for that job.

Okay. So maybe they rekindled things and
seen each other on the DL.

I mean, that would explain why he didn't
check in with his wife last night.

Maybe. I don't know.

You going to tell Grace about this?

No. No, I'm not going to tell anyone
until I know for sure. Could use the

address of that Adele if you have it.

That's why I sent it.

Perfect. Got it. Thanks, Randy.

Hey.

What happened?

You were shot.

But luckily, the bullet went right
through, so I was able to catch you.

And don't worry.

No hospital.

No police. No one knows where you are.

Especially not your wife.

I need to go home.

Or call her or something.

I don't think that's a good idea.

It's for your safety.

Meany, what's up?

Adele Messino is not at all who she says
she is. She changed her name eight

years ago from Adele Livers.

And Adele Livers was arrested for
stalking and attacking her ex

I mean, she was eventually remanded into
psychiatric treatment, but she's been

in and out of facilities ever since.

Yeah, I'm at her place right now. She
seems, uh, unstable at best.

Oh, no. What'd you find?

Found a journal.

She's got endless love letters to Finn.
She's fantasizing about a life with him.

She edited her own face into his wedding
photo, and I don't even want to tell

you about this bear that I'm staring at
right now.

Wow. Okay, so she wasn't having an
affair with Finn then?

No, no, I don't think so. I think she
was stalking him. I don't know for how

long.

I'm thinking maybe she was following him
last night. She saw him in an

altercation. She intervened.

So if she didn't bring him back to her
place, then where are they?

Yeah.

There's something here.

It's a luxury home rental that she
managed.

For sure. Maybe she took him there.

What are you doing?

I was just trying to get some water.

I'm really thirsty.

There.

That is what the restraints are for.

So you don't hurt yourself anymore.

I remember our first date.

I got that flat tire on the bridge and
you changed it for me in the rain.

I remember.

Oh, look at hypothermia.

You're so sweet and so kind.

I knew right then that we just had...

Right? And you went back to Greece
anyway.

I've got to admit, I was really
heartbroken after that.

I went to that bridge numerous times,
wondering what went wrong.

I haven't thought about jumping.

But then the universe was... I'm sorry,
it was just testing me.

It was telling me I needed to be
patient.

That you would come back to me and look.

Here you are.

I think... I should go home.

But this could be your home, Finn.

Our home.

We have everything here that we need to
be happy.

It doesn't have any of that garage sale
crap. Crap your wife puts in your house.

I didn't know it was inside my house.

When Grace posted her maternity
announcement, I had to go.

I had to see for myself if it was true.

Was it a coincidence that you hired me
for that job, was it?

It was not.

But I had to find a way to get us
together.

And then I saw you working on this
place, and it's like we were already

something so beautiful together.

It's a wire job, Adele. It was a cry for
help.

When you confessed to me that you were
fired and you couldn't even tell your

wife. That is not what I think. You
don't have to explain.

You confided in me, and I am so honored
that you did.

makes sense.

Following?

I don't think following is the right
word.

Looking out for you is more like it. And
I was right there when you needed me,

when that man tried to kill you.

Everything happens for a reason.

Truly, I didn't leave my wife and child.
But what if they

were to go away?

My grief had an accident.

I haven't felt the kind.

You're crazy.

You let me go.

After everything I've done for you.

And I won't tell anyone about this.

I swear.
