Don't move sweetheart, you got paint on your shoes too.

Mommy will be right back.

Keep an eye on the water for me okay?

Thank you.

Shayna! Ellie!

I'm home!

Girls?

Girls!

Sweetheart?

Shana!

Sweetheart!

Shana! Ellie!

Hello? Colter Shaw.

Business line secure.

What are you, 12?

That's the question.

I'm hanging up. No, no, no.

Okay, maybe 14.

What's up, brother?

What is this, man? I don't hear from you for months on end, and then you prank

me? I'm surfing down in Punta Roca. Got some sick waves down here.

Surfing? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's gnarly, dude, and the views, whew, they are

epic.

I've been listening up, yip-yap.

I got a time-sensitive thing that needs your attention.

Yeah, shoot.

That's my little legal scout.

Listen, you're going to get a phone call from Grant Valco. He's a work colleague.

He's a freelance op. He was working overseas with a military contract.

This is about a dead ode?

No, no, not a dead. He seriously needs some help.

All right, what is it? He's going to call you with the particulars, but

listen to me. You need to run silent and deep on this.

I can do that?

He's no cops.

Nothing. Not even a ripple.

Got it.

His wife and daughter were taken.

Kidnap, ransom.

Yeah, but it's not about money.

What's it about?

They want him to pull a report.

Kind of unsee something from his last mission.

Now, I'm not kidding.

There's all kinds of funk on this, so I'm gonna shake some trees from my end

and get there as fast as I can, but I need you boots on the ground before this

whole thing goes pear-shaped.

Yeah, all right, where do I go?

Atlanta.

Get there, wait for his call.

Okay, yeah, hey, Russell.

I gotta go, pal.

Yeah.

There's a couple of goats hanging out.

You know what I mean?

Grand Valco?

You leave your phone?

It did.

What about your gun?

Gun stays with me. Same as you.

Your brother told me that you would do that. My brother, per usual, is a little

light on details. He said that your wife and your daughter were taken to use as

leverage. Yeah. You want to walk me through that?

I was coming back stateside after being deployed for six months.

A civilian contract?

That's right. And on my way out at the airport, some guy stops me.

offers me a bunch of money to retract my last AAR.

Your after-action report. Yes, that's right.

I tell him to piss off, but then he tells me that I'm making a big mistake.

That's when I tried to follow the guy, see if I could ID him, but he shook me.

Did you tell anyone this?

No. I wasn't sure what the hell it was about.

Until you got home. I get there, and my wife and my daughter are gone. They

contact you?

Yeah, I get a call.

It tells me I got 48 hours to retract my report or my family's dead.

They sent me this.

It's all my fault. They could be killed because of me.

Hey, listen.

Right now, the important thing is we focus on getting your daughter and your

wife back home. Yeah.

Yeah. So your wife, her car, her phone, both at the house. Okay, and the house

has cameras? Yes, and I checked.

Nobody was in or out except Shana and Ellie.

Okay. And after the phone call, you didn't get any contact at all? I figured

whoever was behind this was also watching me, so I got out of there.

And that's when I reached out to your brother right away.

Tell me about the report. What's in it? I'm a scout sniper.

My spotter John Hawthorne and I were assigned to a two-person recon team to

escort a convoy of medical supplies in Somalia.

It's a normal assignment.

But then out of nowhere, a van explodes.

I thought it was an IED. You know, that's normal in that area.

I submit my report, and I thought it was done.

Well, somebody doesn't want that information to get out.

Can you think of who? Who that might be?

It's a military contractor or somebody inside.

But like I said, there's nothing in that report that is a red flag.

Well, somebody cares about it.

Yeah, my only worry is that I retract my report like they say.

And they don't give my family back. That's why we need to find them first.

We mitigate this leverage.

Your spotter, have you heard from him at all since you've been back? I called

John, but there was no response.

Here's what we're gonna do.

It's important right now that they think that you're cooperating, right?

We need them to believe that, and I need you to buy me some time so I can figure

out where they're keeping your family. Can you do that?

Yeah, I...

I can go to the field office and start the retraction process.

That's good. You do that. I'm going to head to your house, see if they made a

mistake, left something.

Please, find them.

I'm going to do everything I can for you.

Coulter, I got your message.

Do me a favor and do not speak right now. That camera that you found is some

serious tech. It looks like there's a network overlay in the house as well, so

I need you to give me a second so I can find you some cover.

All right, I'm flooding the property's Wi-Fi.

Whoever's on the other end should see a drop connection.

That should buy you a few minutes.

Done. Okay, you can speak now.

Whoever did this had a lot of time.

Yeah, plus access.

And advanced gear.

And they were able to extract Shane and Ellie from the house in a car without

raising suspicion.

Were you able to see who that camera's transmitting to?

Nah, man. I tried. These guys are pros.

Any signs of a struggle?

Yeah.

Got Shane's phone.

It's dead.

Scratch marks.

Looks like Shayna fought like hell.

How'd they extract them?

Took them through the back.

Listen, Randy, I'm gonna call you back.

I guess they have a coverage outside that you can't see.

Yeah, good idea.

I'll be right here.

Excuse me.

Hey.

How you doing? I was wondering, are you guys working here yesterday by chance?

Yeah, look, the heat's slowing us down. I'm sure it is. Listen, my buddy lives

down here.

Someone broke into his house. I think the person who ripped him off tore our

ass down this way. I was wondering if you saw anything yesterday morning.

Yeah, some idiot ripped through here and nearly ran two of my guys over. It's a

blue truck.

Figured it was another sub. Okay, you didn't get a plate or anything, did you?

No.

But Manny might have. He chased after it.

Manny! Yeah, thanks.

Randy, I only got a partial plate, 45G.

We're lucky to get that much.

45G. Give me a sec to scan the DMV.

Okay, got a hella long list of matches here.

I bet.

Narrow it down to blue work truck.

Okay,

I got a dual cab pickup, a cyber truck, and a utility van.

The dual cab is registered to a 78-year-old. Nancy Wesley.

The Cybertruck is in Pounded Upstate. Go figure.

And the utility van belongs to a fleet company.

Gotta be the fleet van. Where is it now?

Some loft apartments across town.

Just sent you a pin.

Got it. Thanks, Randy.

All right, bro.

That Coulter?

Yeah, it was.

He's helping out a friend of Russell's.

Russell's back?

Well, that's pretty unclear.

Yeah, he continues to surprise. Just let me know if there's anything I can do.

Well, Coulter wants to keep a tight circle on this one, but, uh, Russell's

friend, his wife and daughter got kidnapped.

Hold on. Is Russell with Coulter?

At the moment, no.

Though the job's connected to a shady military contractor.

But I got a really bad feeling about this one.

Yeah, well, just keep me posted.

You got it.

Man, good form, but I could have killed you. Yeah, good to see you.

What are you doing here? Good to see Hawthorne. Grand spotter. Yeah.

Have an old address, write it down.

I guess he lives here.

Of course, he just protracted his AAR.

They must have got to him. He took the money.

Everybody's got a number.

Let me accept you, of course. Normal people have a number. What are you doing

here?

This is the van that took Ellie and Shane from the house that followed here.

Well, that's interesting.

It is really interesting, isn't it? Listen, do you think Hawthorne's behind

this? Grant was reaching out, trying to find him. Hawthorne is just twisting in

the wind. He was busy walking his report back, which is a problem now because now

they've got a pair of conflicting AARs in the field. Whoever's behind this

wants 100% compliance. For sure.

Let's go have a look-see. Let's go.

That's Hawthorne.

I got the roof. Hey!

I'll go around.

Damn it!

Hold on, I'm coming!

We're gonna have to find another thread to pull. Son of a bitch that guy could

move. Did you get a look at him? Ah, I saw the same thing you did. Blonde hair,

got a scar on his face.

That was not your garden variety roof tosser.

Military? Probably.

Acts? Foreign services?

Private sector.

Yeah. I'm guessing whatever Grant was escorting wasn't a medical supply

convoy. No, it was just a cover. I did a little digging and found out they were

actually transporting a proprietary weapon.

A tech armor, to be exact.

You know about that? No, he wouldn't. Guy at his level, they keep him in the

dark. Why go after his family?

Because of the explosion he reported.

Apparently the weapon malfunctioned during transport.

It was in beta, but I mean, these contracts, there were billions, so...

Yeah, that guy's long gone.

So what you're saying is it was a business decision.

Correct.

Hawthorne just gave them what they wanted. Look what happened to him.

They're gonna do the same thing to Grant and his family.

I think we need to follow the money.

I mean, my guess is they're gonna stovepipe this whole operation, you

know? somebody fix the problem with zero blowback so they can keep this whole

weapons thing on track that's the only way cover-ups like this work yeah i know

they know we're involved so that's great well listen we got to move fast we got

to take away their leverage which means finding grant's wife and his daughter

grant's on his way to retract his actual report right well he's supposed to i

haven't heard from him all right he's got a slow roll that like real slow i'm

gonna get a hold of him and i'm gonna call randy see if he can look into

hawthorne's financials you know maybe we can find another thread to yank on great

all right here we go

It's not so simple, Grant.

You can't just walk back and AAR.

It's a process.

I understand, sir, but I need to retract my statement.

Any reason?

Because facts matter, sir.

And I might have gotten some details wrong. Little ones or big ones?

Both.

Okay.

If you really want to open this up and have me go through the process, I'm

going to need a few more details.

Okay, because if it were me and I was just back after a long hitch I'd be home

with my family Not making busy work

Am I making myself clear

Yes, sir, I Would like to amend my statement sir

amend or retract retract first then amend you do this And every report

you ever file gets put under a microscope.

Is everything okay, son?

Because I spoke with Hawthorne earlier.

I'm good, sir.

If there's something you're not telling me, now's the time.

Once I pull the form, there's no going back.

I would like you to do that, sir.

Alrighty then.

Let's get it started.

Grant's still not answered his phone. I will text him. I need him to keep

stalling.

Randy, did you dig into Hawthorne's financials?

Yep. I'm looking at a money market account with a pending wire transfer of

$100K that did not go through.

Well, I'm going to be honest. My number's way higher than that. That's

got to be the payoff.

You set it up, but it was never confirmed.

You trace it back?

Well, whoever processed it was able to master source account.

However, I was able to decrypt the originator once it bounced back. The LLC

is owned by Gordon Marsh.

Sounds like a name with a punchable face.

You get a location on this punchable face guy? Oh, yeah.

He's very high level at Ross Kelly Defense Systems.

And I'm sending you an address now.

Got it. Thanks, Randy.

Ooh, Ross Kelly. What?

They're big. I mean, oppressive, highly successful weapons contractor.

I mean, they're known for putting a ton of money in weapons research. So that's

what this whole thing was about? They're producing a product for the government?

Yeah, but these things take decades to come to market, right? So any kind of a

blip, it could cost them billions overnight.

Well, they got more than enough resources to disappear all of us, don't

they? Yep. Listen, you figure, like, a corporation like that, everybody would

be involved, everybody would know, or maybe it's just a couple people at the

top. Trust me, plenty of people know about it. Yeah.

But this Marsh guy, he's the project manager, right? He's got access to all

the funds, makes this thing tick?

Yeah, we need to come up with a game plan.

We don't have time for a game plan. I'm gonna go to Marsh and I'm gonna ask him,

tell me where the girls are. Well, then what? I mean, a guy like that's gonna

have serious detail.

You know, I'll, uh... I'll have to deal with it.

Until you can't.

All right, I'm gonna go track down Grant.

Make sure they don't wipe him early.

You safe?

You too.

Yeah.

You through no not not yet sir I am You

know what I need to go to the bathroom

So

Falco good

How's the fam

Ellie must be getting so big now, huh?

Whole life ahead of her.

Hate to see it cut short.

Look, I'm just here to make sure you do the right thing for your family.

That's all.

Now quit stalling and sign the damn thing.

Me too.

Everything's gonna be okay. Quiet!

Oh, sorry. Are you alright?

No worries, bro.

Good.

Hey, listen, you know I love it when you call, but this is literally the worst

time. Oh, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

No, no, I... And look, I know I left it away, and I just went dark, and then I

come back without a word, and I know I owe you, like, a grand gesture or some

sort of an explanation, okay? Russell, shut up. I literally have 90 seconds

before my next meeting, okay? I just... I want to make sure that you're okay.

I'm good.

Okay, good.

That's all I needed to know.

I'm looking for my buddy Grant.

Grant? Yeah, Valco.

He, uh, left his wallet in my car.

We're in the middle of something.

And he's been in the bathroom for almost 15 minutes already.

Oh, well, IBS is no joke.

I'll go get him for you.

Hey, you find him, tell him I had to jump into a Zoom.

Russ.

I messed up bad, man.

Is he dead?

No.

But he threatened my family. He's a part of it. Yeah, he's the catcher in the

rye.

As soon as you signed that thing, he was here to clean up this whole mess.

My wife and my baby girl, man.

They don't deserve this.

Hey, I got you, all right?

Don't get all squishy on me now. Plus, I owe you. I'd be pushing up daisies in

Honduras if it wasn't for you.

All right, we got this. We just gotta be smart about it.

As soon as he wakes up, he's gonna make a call. And my family's dead.

Well, look, for you, this isn't the first time Uncle Russ has dealt with a

body in a bathroom.

I had four headless in a Pizza Hut bathroom in Dubai.

Okay. All right, listen, we're gonna get you cleaned up. Get that blood off of

you, okay?

I'm gonna pull the car around. We're gonna get him out that window.

Yeah.

We got this, man.

Hey, do not leave this room.

All right? And nobody comes in.

Wedge that.

Yes, sir.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Who the hell are you? Shut up.

Shayna and Ellie Valco, where are they?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Sit down.

I don't have time for this.

You're the CFO.

You hired John Hawthorne money to pull his AAR. Yes, you know that. Then you

had him killed. Now you're trying to do the same thing to Grant Falco.

Now we can go back and forth. You can hem and haw.

You can stall.

You can try to waste time.

You're gonna end up with more dinks in your head. Where are they?

Where are the girls?

Doesn't matter what I tell you.

You're never gonna get in there. Well, then you're right. It doesn't matter

what you tell me.

Where are they?

Last chance.

We have a ranch.

Tell me about it.

Colleague's vacation home.

Stays empty most of the year.

But we use it when we need to.

Nobody has access.

You're gonna get us in.

You're gonna show me where the girls are. Okay, I don't think you understand.

I'm just the numbers guy. I don't think you understand.

You're a hand that moves the pieces, right?

They're gonna kill us both.

Let's go.

Not a word. Let's go.

Don't do anything stupid.

Are you going to kill me now?

Call 911.

Randy, are you able to access that Roscalli security footage?

I'm in. What am I looking for? For, uh... Me in an elevator, a couple of

guards, fight.

Okay.

Let me see what I can find.

This is insane.

The hard part's over.

Just take me to Grant's family.

All right, I'll see you.

Oh, oh. Oh, damn.

Messy. I need that deleted.

Okay, I get it. You don't want to catch a tail.

I'll have it wiped in five.

Appreciate you, man. Thank you.

You might be able to slow my guys down, but you'll never stop them.

You want to tell me why you did all this in the first place?

Did what we had to do.

You kidnapped a mother and her daughter.

Hired a kill team to take care of your mess. You're damn right I did.

It was meant to be clean.

Streamlined.

Yeah, I don't expect you to understand the math.

It's the greed I don't understand.

You were thinking too small.

A weapons system like this gives us a tactical edge across the globe.

Tactical advantage well That translates into American life saved. Oh, I see.

Yeah, you're a patriot.

Aren't you? Yeah, you don't get it. Do you focus on the road? Shut up

All

right, nice tight spick and span get a photo

Now what now we find your wife and daughter

I Swear we're living simulation.

It's colder Did you find him? Yeah, he's got a location. Where are they?

What is that?

I think that's his phone.

Is it done yet?

Not yet.

Need more time.

All right, let's move.

Is that it?

You're dead, man!

Hey, listen. I need you clear.

I need you clear before we can get this sorted. Do you understand me?

You good? Yeah.

Listen to me. We need him.

I got him zip-tied to the steering wheel. He's not going anywhere.

All right, what's the play?

Okay, here's the play.

Your family's being held here, all right? This is a ranch here and heavily

guarded. Well, that's a lot of acres, a lot of outbuildings.

That's a lot to clear.

What about that big house right there? Okay, that's a guest house. And

according to Marsh over here, he says that it's empty. Aside from the armed

mercenaries? Yeah, who's to say there's not 50 guys with M4s in there? I think

wherever they have your family, that's where they have the guards.

You trust this guy?

Marsh?

No, not at all. But, uh, you know, he's our only ticket in there. I don't think

we have a choice.

Hey, hey, go get his.

All right?

Okay. Let me see that.

The Stringer house building's here.

That's got to be in play, right? That's got a lot of good tree coverage.

That could be our line in. Yeah.

We need to overcover.

Hey, you brought your setup, didn't you?

No. No, I'm going in there with you. No, no, I don't think that's a good idea.

You're the leverage.

Colter's right.

Plus, you're good from distance.

Okay.

Is he all right? He's going to shoot this guy? He's fine. He's good.

All right, here's what I'm thinking. You see this ridge right here? Yeah. All

right, that's where you're going to post up.

We're going to bring your family out through here. So whatever covering fire

we need, you just provide it from there. Can you do that?

Copy that.

I got you. Good.

Listen, Russ, when we go in there, it's going to be just you and me. We've got

to be quiet. We've got to be fast.

What's the boogie?

No.

Check this out.

Morning, sunshine.

Good night.

I figured we might need him. What do we need him for?

Let's go.

Mr. Marsh, was I expecting you?

Yeah, I'm just checking on things.

Sure, go ahead.

This is it? Yeah.

Where are they?

Hey, we can start shooting right now. Your choice.

They're in one of those buildings back there. I'm not sure which one.

Heavily guarded.

Oh, here we go.

What do you want to do with this guy?

He's coming with us.

Or we just leave him here.

Put the weapon down.

You should have signed.

Thank you.

It's okay. We're here to help you.

What about your husband?

Oh, my God, Greg?

He's here?

We're gonna take you to him, okay? We gotta get you both out of here first.

Come on, let's get you untied.

Stay down.

We gotta move.

Stay down, Nick. Stay close.

Come on, the car's over here.

Put him down.

What?

All right, stay with me.

You're okay. All right, come on, stay with me.

All this could have been so simple.

Just take the shot, Shaw!

You don't want any more blood on your hands. Let him go.

I got plenty.

You'll never get out of here alive.

Where's my family? We have them. Come on, let's go.

Mr. Coulter. Hey.

Thank you for saving us.

Whoa. You're more than welcome. Thank you. I don't have one of these.

Now I do. This is wonderful. Thank you very much.

Truly. Thank you enough.

You're welcome.

Yeah. All right. Let's just finish up with the officers.

I don't know how... I'm gonna repay you. Well, I don't know how you're gonna

match this.

I don't think I can.

Seriously.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You heal up, okay?

Take care of that family? Yes, sir. All right.

Ahem.

Well, I guess I owe you now.

Ah, you don't owe me anything.

So what do we do now? Is this where you, uh, you disappear again?

I got bills to pay.

You got waves to catch.

Yeah, right.

I'd like to see that sometime.

It's not that pretty.

Where'd you say this was again?

Oh.

Hiya, Rainey.

Hey, you with Coulter?

Uh, that little ray of sunshine standing right here. You're on speaker.

Just wrapping up here, Rainey.

Yeah, no worries. I asked fun FBI and DCIS up to date. And don't worry,

Russell, I left your name out of it.

Oh, I appreciate that. What'd you find out? Well, it's going to take a bit to

cut through the red tape at a federal level, but Gordon Marsh and the others

at Ross Kelly who orchestrated the kidnapping and ransom, they will be held

accountable.

As long as Grant and his family come out of this hole.

They will.

And Grant has already been cleared of any wrongdoing, so... What about that

guy in my trunk?

I'm sorry, what now?

No, nothing. I'll tell somebody else about it. It's fine.

Huh. Surprise, surprise.

We're, um, just saying goodbye to Russell.

Oh, you two. You're gonna make me blush. Hey, you know, I could stick around and,

uh, we could get that dinner on the books we've been threatening.

Look, you pick a day.

And you still need to come see my new office.

Hmm. Let me check my schedule.

About next week.

Hey, you know, you can tag along, but I'm gonna warn you, it's gonna get

awkward. Bye, Beanie.

You... Okay.

Listen, I got time. You want to grab a couple beers?

Yeah, I got more than a couple beers back at the trailer.

No, not trailer beers. I'm talking long necks, you know, with a bar and some

apps and maybe a waitress with a little sass. Jukebox.

Ooh, now you're talking.

You down?

How can I say no to that?

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

She wants to find her daughter.

She disappeared.

It's like she's a ghost.

I don't have a lot of time left.

I just need to know that she's okay.

We'll find her and bring her back.

I know you will. Tracker is all new. CBS Sunday, November 15th. Brace yourself.

I'm falling!

New Survivor, CBS Wednesday.
