[cell phone vibrating]

- Hey, Teddi. - There you are.

Velma was starting to worry.

Ah, reception's been spotty.

[mouthing] It's Colter.

Too spotty to return our texts?

Did you tell him about the Cobra?

Here you go.

[Teddi] Colter, sent you a job. Stolen car.

Looks pretty straightforward and a big payout.

Cascade, Idaho. Vintage Shelby Cobra.

Twenty thousand cash reward.

Oh, so you do get our texts.

You just choose not to answer them. Good to know.

We need to know if you're taking on a reward,

so we can pull a background for you.

Put together the research.

Hey, Colter. Word on the street is

Billy is circling the job.

- Great. - Thought you might

need a little motivation.

Motivated. I'm gonna grab a quick bite.

I should be in Cascade by 2:30.

[man] So we're definitely not going back to the site, right?

[man 2] No. No more jobs, if they're not paying...

Can I get you anything else, hon?

Just the check. I'm sort of in a hurry.

- Oh. Work or fun? - Work.

You know what they say about that.

[Tozer] What the hell is she doing?

Still handing out them flyers.

Some people just don't get the damn memo.

Come on.

- Something wrong? - Hope not.

I wouldn't get involved.

[Tozer] Kira, get over here!

Too late.

You need to quit with these.

You're upsetting people with this garbage.

- She's gone. - Is there a problem?

Mind your own business, friend.

Look, it's okay. I don't want any trouble.

Hey! Where are you going? Don't turn your back on me.

[Colter] Hey, man, no need to throw things.

Told you to leave it.

Odds are, if you were gonna pull that,

you would have done it already.

No.

That yours?

[sighs]

You shouldn't have done that.

Me and the boys will help you put the spare on,

make sure you leave and don't come back.

Put the knife away.

Sure thing.

[grunting] No, stop!

[Kira] Please, stop!

- [both grunting] - No, stop!

[straining] Enough. Enough.

Enough.

- [breathing heavily] - [Tozer coughing]

Just about ready.

Something wrong?

You've got quite an interesting

collection of scars.

Oh, yeah, it's me and my brother.

- Dumb kid stuff, you know. - Kid stuff?

- Yeah. - Okay.

I plead the Fifth.

Got it. Messed up childhood.

Been there, done that.

I do not like to talk about it.

Any other past medical issues, Mr. Shaw?

It's Colter, and no, no, healthy as a horse.

Well, it's gonna be seven stitches,

a little bit deeper than I expected.

Last chance to take me up on local anesthetic.

No. No, I'm good. Thanks.

And you're one of those 'pain is good' types?

No. Not at all. It's just when it comes to recovery,

there's a five percent gain of function on superficial wounds

that are treated without local anesthetic.

Or you just like pain.

- Little jab. - Mmm-hmm.

- What do you do? - I'm a rewardist.

What is that?

Well, when rewards are posted

for missing people or objects, I go get them.

Oh. Well, that sounds made up.

It is not.

And you're here on a job?

I wasn't, but I'm starting to think I might be.

Hold still. Last one.

- Okay. Yep. - Yeah?

Speaking of which,

what do you know about her?

Um, just what everybody knows.

- Mmm-hmm. - A bit of a nomad

traveling from town to town, living in her van.

A little bit like you, from the sounds of it.

Our little lake town is popular

with these van life folks.

So, Mia was here and then she moved along.

Except her sister thinks that something happened to her.

So Kira posts these flyers around town,

but some folks don't like that either,

because it gives the impression that something bad

might have happened here.

That's not exactly the image

that you want to give to tourists,

- and second homebuyers. - What do you think?

I think she...

I think I would be careful if I were you.

People don't like strangers asking a lot of questions.

Oh. Good to know.

Uh, thank you.

You're welcome.

- Hey. Hey. Kira. - Colter Shaw.

Are you all right? I feel terrible that

you got hurt 'cause of me.

No, I'm fine. That guy needed a lesson.

Not the first time.

- So it has to do with this? - My sister?

- I'm pretty sure it does. - [siren wails]

[Colter] Hmm.

- [Sheriff Gale] Mr. Shaw. - Yeah.

You see the need for this dispute to go any further?

No. No, I think we both got our message across.

- No reason for charges. - Good. Less paperwork for me.

So you don't get the wrong impression of our little town,

- I had your tire repaired. - Thank you.

I hope this didn't delay your travels too much.

Where did you say you were on your way to?

I didn't.

Listen, Kira. It's been three months.

There's nothing to suggest your sister stayed in town.

She simply moved on.

Like she tended to do,

like she did a dozen times before.

I know that's not what you want to hear,

but it's the truth.

I'll keep that in mind, Sheriff.

Maybe it's best you moved on, too.

Safe travels, Mr. Shaw.

Have a wonderful day, Sheriff.

Jackass.

- Make you a cup of coffee? - Sure.

[Colter] Careful. That's hot.

"Tucumcari."

I was there for a job once. Missing hydrologist.

Did you find him? The hydrologist?

I did.

Tell me about your sister.

She was a drifter.

Going from town to town.

Backcountry skiing, rock climbing,

living out of a gross old van.

I kept telling her to stop running.

What was she running from?

Our childhood was...

How shall I say, uh...

Intense. A mess.

We both dealt with it differently.

I know something about that. Go on.

She ran off and became an adrenaline junkie,

and I went to law school.

Why are you so sure she didn't just move on

like the sheriff said?

Well, the last time we spoke,

she said she was going to Moab.

I checked, she wasn't there,

and there was no sign of her in between.

Nothing. This is the last place anyone saw her.

You check her socials? Bank cards?

It's hard for someone to just up and disappear these days.

Yeah. Nothing.

What do you think happened to her?

Maybe she went somewhere she shouldn't have.

Shot her mouth off to the wrong guy? I don't know.

Like my new friend back at the diner?

Tom Tozer.

He seemed pretty upset about the flyers.

Yeah, I think he knows something

about Mia's disappearance.

He and his buddies, they work for the Winslow family.

Tell me about them.

They're trying to turn the place into a resort town.

Lakefront developments, vacation condos.

Can you help me?

It is what I do.

The reward is $5000. It's not much.

I collect only in success.

I'll do everything I can

to find out what happened to your sister.

I need you to know, in cases like this,

because she hasn't made contact in so long,

the odds of what I would call a "good outcome,"

they're not favorable.

You mean dead?

I've made peace with that.

If I can't have Mia back, at least I'll have the truth.

[sighs]

Do you know where she was last living in her van?

Yeah. This piece of land that the Winslows own.

[cell phone vibrating]

Bobby Exley. After hours.

- What? - Friday after 6:00.

Surge rates apply. Like Uber.

I'm a growing business, Colter.

"Beep." Means you're surging.

Mia Stine, Springland, Idaho.

Twenty-two. Sister says she's been living out of a van.

Disappeared three months ago.

Oof. I don't like vans, let alone live in one.

I got a Sleep Number, blackout shades, and an ionizer.

Sleep like a king.

Looking for an '84 passenger van.

[Bobby] I see the flyer here with the license plate number.

I just sent you a photo of an IMEI number

off the back of a game camera.

- Take a look, will you? - [clanging]

Something's up. I'll call you back.

You gonna make me come in there and get ya?

[gun cocks]

You ain't too smart, are ya? Should've left town already.

I'd be gone if you hadn't stabbed me.

I can do a hell of a lot worse now.

You're trespassing on private land.

Stand-your-ground law applies.

So the Winslows put you in charge

of threatening anybody who trespasses?

Like Mia Stine.

I don't know what Kira told you,

but her sister was trouble.

If you go poking around, folks aren't going to

like that very much.

Yeah. Yeah, I got that already.

Look, man, I just came out here

to try to get some answers for Kira.

Okay? Now, I'm not sure that's an offense

that merits you shooting me. [chuckles]

What are you? Some kind of PI?

No. No, no, I collect reward money.

Kira's offered a reward for information about her sister.

She's been missing a few months.

You really think you can find her?

I don't know.

What do you have against this missing girl, anyway?

It's not just her, it's all these van life dopes.

They park their vans, throw a party,

make a mess on company land.

My job is to move them off.

- What did you do? - Nothing.

Maybe we exchanged a few words. But that's all.

So then then why get so worked up over Kira

Look, I got a wife and kids.

How do you think it makes them feel?

Kira's asking folks in town if I had something to do

with her sister disappearing.

I get that.

The crazy thing is, Mia made such a big deal about her van.

Half the time, she wasn't even in it.

What do you mean?

I came down here a few times to try to negotiate.

It turns out, she wasn't sleeping there.

Where was she sleeping?

Hell if I know.

[Teddi] Hey, Colter.

- Where are you? - Still in Springland.

I bet Velma you'd still be there,

even though you should be in Cascade

looking for that stolen car with a $20,000 reward.

I need you to look into someone for me.

It's a missing woman by the name of Mia Stine.

Part of a van life group.

All right. Hey, I might have something.

Rock climbing.

Oh, there's some cute photos on this website.

I'll send them.

There is a guy with her.

- He's labeled "Gecko." - [Teddi chuckles]

It's not "labeling."

When it's online, they call it "tagging."

Sorry.

Hey, Velma, where was this photo taken?

You going for a double figure eight knot?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Oh. Here you go.

- Thanks. - Sure.

Hey, you know a climber up here,

goes by the name of Gecko?

Yeah, I know Gecko.

Right up there.

[Gecko grunts]

Thanks.

- Gecko! - What's up?

I need to talk to you about Mia Stine.

[Gecko clears throat]

What about?

Well, I was hoping you'd come down.

Nah, man. You come up.

[soft rock music playing]

I know, eating alone. Don't judge.

I do it more often than not myself.

- How did you find me? - Trade secret.

I need a favor.

Okay, as long as it doesn't involve

taking out your stitches early.

No. You, uh...

You know who that is?

- It's Matt Winslow. - Winslow.

As in, Winslow Resorts?

You think Matt Winslow had something to do with

Mia's disappearance?

I know they were together.

In what capacity, I don't know.

Well, I know he had some troubles over the years.

Um... Fights and shoplifting, I think.

Um, I remember my old boss saying

that his mom was always worried

about something or another,

and his father telling him that he had to toughen up.

I shouldn't even be telling you that much.

Okay. It's all right.

I can get the rest from his criminal history.

Nope. There won't be much. His dad employs half the town,

so charges usually get dropped.

Nobody from around here wants to go after the Winslows.

Least of all the sheriff.

Well, it's a good thing I'm not from around here.

Where are you from?

A place you never heard of.

Echo Ridge. Sierra National Forest.

Oh. Sounds remote.

You could say that. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, thanks for the info, Doc.

It's Beth.

And Colter from Echo Ridge in the Sierra National Forest,

you owe me a drink.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

[doorbell rings]

- [man on intercom] Yeah? - My name is Colter Shaw.

I'm looking for a Matt Winslow, aka Gecko?

Come on, Matt,

you're gonna have to talk to me at some point.

It might as well be now.

[car engine starting]

[tires screeching]

[Colter] No, we're not doing this again.

The disappearing?

What do you want?

Mia's sister, Kira, she's got a few questions

about what happened to her sister.

And I wish I knew.

If you don't know, why'd you bail on me at the rock wall?

- [scoffs] - Nobody in this town

seems to want to talk about what happened to Mia.

And I really don't know what to tell you.

Well, the truth would be nice.

She important to you?

Yeah.

- You were in a relationship? - We were.

Look, man, I really don't wanna talk about this.

No one does.

If you ever really cared about her, Matt,

look, all I'm trying to do

is find out what happened to her.

She left.

Okay? One minute, we're talking

about hitting the road together,

next, she tells me she wants to go it alone.

You ask her why?

She didn't give me the chance.

Just left a note, and then poof. Ghosted me.

How did she feel about this town?

I don't know.

I guess she kind of just saw it for what it was.

Plus, she had a lot of opinions,

wasn't afraid to share 'em.

It was actually one of the things I dug about her.

It didn't make her too popular with some folks,

so she was tired of being hassled and she skipped.

I get it.

Do you still have that note?

[Matt] I told you, man, that's it.

It's such a Mia move.

She liked drama. Big gestures.

Fighting for what she believed in.

[Colter] Mmm.

- Did she have a temper? - That's one way of puttin' it.

[vehicle approaching]

Oh. Parents.

Hey, Matt.

- What's going on? - Hey, Dad.

- Who's this? - Name's Colter Shaw.

Ah. I've heard about you, Mr. Shaw.

I was just asking your son here

a few questions about Mia Stine.

The girl who went missing?

Why would you be asking our son about her?

Not a big deal, Mom.

Hung out a bit. Hit Deaver's wall a few times.

Just casual.

Mr. Shaw, I'd advise you to speak to Sheriff Gale.

We met.

Hmm. Then you know what sort of crowd she ran with.

I just wanted see if Matt knew anything

about her disappearance.

Ah.

He obviously doesn't.

Look, as I'm sure Sheriff Gale told you,

the sister's just trying to cause trouble.

Thanks for the info, Matt.

Anything we can give Colter on Matt Winslow?

Actually, I had my friend Lou run a background check.

Lou from the pet shelter?

He does background checks for adoptions.

Great. Is Matt Winslow a worthy pet foster candidate?

That, I can't say. He's had a few minor arrests.

However, I checked the local court dockets.

Winslow Resorts has been involved in a lot of lawsuits.

What kind of suits?

That I can't tell. The complaints aren't online.

[Teddi] Hmm.

But I do know a legal genius that we could send

to the county courthouse,

assuming she's in the area, that is.

Reenie Greene. You read my mind.

- But Colter... - Can swallow his pride

and trust me.

Hmm.

[Colter] Matt Winslow's been holding onto that letter

for months.

She mention anything about him?

- No. - No?

This is a page from her climbing journal,

but that is not her handwriting.

Let's take a look.

No, it's not.

[cell phone vibrating]

Bobby. Good news?

I think I found Mia's van.

Now you're speaking my language. Where?

Turns out the ID on that game camera you snagged,

not the only one.

Winslows have them networked all over their properties.

I got a decent look at the perimeter,

but I think I got her van going

to one of the Winslow's properties

right around the time of her disappearance.

The funny thing is, it never came back out.

Sending you the location now.

- Nice work. - It was actually kind of fun.

The cams use what we call IoT connectivity tech.

You tap into the matrix, which not everybody can handle,

let alone navigate.

You know, one of these days, I'm gonna lay

the observer effect on you.

- Can't wait. - We're livin' in

a simulation, C.

Better get used to it now.

I, uh, gotta go. Gotta go, Bobby.

Mia's van was found on Winslow family land.

- Let's get you home. - No, I'm coming.

I can tell you immediately if it's her van or her body.

There's no talking you out of this, is there?

No.

Okay.

All right. The van entered from here, which means...

- What is it? - Stay close. They got cameras.

[Kira] Okay.

[Colter] That's it.

Can you do this?

Yeah, I'm good.

Looks like it's been here a while.

[Kira] That's definitely her van.

- [gunshot] - Get down! Get down!

Breathe. Look at me. Just breathe.

[Kira] Oh, my God.

- We're going to run for it. - What? Are you crazy?

Odds are f they wanted to kill us, we'd be dead already.

- How do you know that? - Trust me.

- See that shed? - [Kira] Yeah.

Great. That's where we're going.

- On three. - Okay.

One, two, three. Let's go.

- [GUNSHOT] - Run! Run, run, run!

[Kira shrieks]

- [Colter] Come on. - [gasps] My arm.

I got you. Come on.

[groans]

[Colter] You okay?

It's not bad.

- There we go. Come on. - Okay.

We're good. We weren't followed.

Who the hell is shooting at us?

Someone doesn't want us looking into

your sister's disappearance.

Loosen that for me, will you? Let me see the cut.

Mia. The van.

Hold that corner.

All right, you can move that now.

[sniffles]

When I saw the van,

part of me was still holding on to hope.

I loved my sister, but I never told her.

All I did was tell her that she was wasting her life.

She shouldn't run from her problems.

I know that kind of regret.

Does it ever go away?

No.

But you learn to keep it with you as a reminder

of what that person meant to you.

Good, bad. It... It doesn't matter.

They helped make you.

I like that.

All right. Uh...

While I do that, you're gonna see a doctor

about that cut, okay?

Okay.

Around here, landowners are within their rights

to shoot at trespassers.

Right over here.

What the hell?

Don't know what kind of game you're playing at, Mr. Shaw.

- Somebody moved it. - Maybe Bigfoot moved it.

Somebody shot at us to scare us off.

Like I said, seeing as how you were trespassing,

you're lucky the Winslows don't press charges.

Now you're gonna get back in your truck

and you're gonna leave this town.

You did your best for that girl,

but her sister is long gone.

And I expect you to be long gone, too.

[line ringing]

[Bobby] Dude, it's the middle of the night.

You think I work all the damn time?

- I'm sorry. You're sleeping? - I'm at work.

Are you still hooked up to that network of game cameras?

The ones that found the van for us?

- I can be. - Good.

I need you to find out who moved it.

Bobby, I got to go.

[Reenie gasps]

Really, Colter? Put that thing away.

Reenie, what the hell?

A man dumb enough to hide a key

in the same place for three years

shouldn't even be allowed to carry one of those.

You know, it takes most people days

to get this much information,

so you're lucky that I was close by.

I trust that Teddi explained to you

that I was already in the area,

taking a deposition on another case.

You know, the kind that pays me what I'm worth.

- I appreciate you, Reenie. - Appreciate and admire?

- What is all this? - [chuckles]

All right. This is about two dozen lawsuits.

Some settled, some active.

Someone told you how everyone's

scared of the Winslows, right?

- Yeah. - The Winslows sue people.

For trespassing, for property damage, breach of contract.

- You name it. - Okay. So?

So, this one's different.

For once, it's the Winslows getting sued.

A case brought by Nathaniel Orcutt.

They wanted to buy his lakefront parcel.

He said no. Then crazy coincidence,

his barn burns down.

The county declined to bring charges.

So Mr. Orcutt sued the Winslow family

for civil harassment and property damages.

- Did he win? - Didn't get the chance.

Three weeks after filing suit, Mr. Orcutt died.

Huh. No cause of death.

No, there is not.

And look here.

Orcutt's lawyer was required to disclose the witnesses

he intended to call. Anything look familiar?

Mia Stine was gonna testify against the Winslows?

That's what we call circumstantial evidence.

- [cell phone chimes] - We're gonna need more.

Something from Bobby.

Will this work?

- [Reenie] Hmm. - Yeah? All right.

All right.

Wait. Where are you going?

To have another conversation with Matt Winslow.

Not without your lawyer.

[soft music playing]

You again.

- And who the hell is this? - I'm a lawyer.

People usually pay me for counsel,

but I'll give you this one for free.

You're screwed.

Dude, I told you everything I know.

No, I don't think that you did.

Mia Stine never left this town.

That's not true.

- I found her van. - On a Winslow property.

You didn't know, did you?

Mia was preparing to testify against your father's company.

- I can't talk about this. - Why not?

Hmm?

[Matt grunts softly]

Matt, I'm gonna really need you to concentrate here.

It's over.

If you ever cared about Mia, you tell the truth now.

Do right by her.

- I told her I... - You told her, told her what?

Told her what your father was up to?

Intimidating landowners, burning down buildings,

snatching up land for his lakefront empire.

Yeah. And I couldn't stand it anymore.

I wanted her to see that I wasn't like him.

And why is that?

You were helping your family do these things?

Mia found out, asked you to say something.

Take a stand.

She just wouldn't drop it.

It's my fault, isn't it?

Shouldn't have said anything.

I should have just lied to her.

[sighs] You burned down Nathaniel Orcutt's place?

No, I didn't.

But I was there when it happened,

and I knew it was wrong.

Who did it?

Come on, Matt.

Give me a name.

Tony. Works for my parents.

Driver. Does other things.

You told Mia this?

I loved her.

I told her that we could get out of here together,

just hit the road, just be done with all of this crap.

Oh, but let me guess.

She went and told Mr. Orcutt instead.

She promised to him that she would testify

to everything that she knew,

and she wanted me to do the same.

Me? I was too scared of my dad.

Mia wasn't scared, though.

She was never scared of anything.

And that's it? That's what happened?

She just all of a sudden, out of the blue,

broke up with you?

- You believe that? - It's what happened.

I think she was disgusted

that I wouldn't stand up to them,

so she bailed.

Oh, come on, man, you're smarter than that.

Somebody else wrote the note.

- [Matt chuckles] No. - [Colter] No?

No. No, my dad wouldn't do that.

My dad wouldn't have gotten her killed.

No? All right, well.

Yeah, take a look at that.

What does that look like, huh?

Because to me, that looks like Tony in the woods,

moving Mia's van.

Why is he doing that?

There you go. Run away.

Hide behind your parents like you have your whole life.

That's great. The only problem with that, Matt,

is that sick feeling in your gut right now?

That's not going anywhere.

Not until the truth comes out.

Tony.

I thought Sheriff Gale told you to leave town.

Yeah, he did, but I couldn't leave

without finishing the job.

Not sure what you're trying to pull here, Shaw.

What is this, Matt?

I'll take care of it, Charlotte.

Tony, if you wouldn't mind

escorting these folks off our property

- while I call the sheriff. - Oh, I already called him.

Matt, get over here now!

- Let him go. - Tony, right?

You should've killed me at the van, Tony.

What was the plan?

To scare us off? Get rid of the van?

Have the sheriff chase us out of town?

I've no idea what you're talking about.

The van, Tony. The one you just removed

from the property.

- Did you kill Mia, huh? Why? - Easy, easy.

That's enough.

- [Tony grunts] - Get outta here.

What did you tell him to do?

No one killed Mia.

All we did was firmly request that she move along.

Yeah, but she never moved along, did she?

That's enough, Shaw.

You had Mia killed because she found out

what your boys did to Mr. Orcutt.

That's after they burned down his barn.

She was a witness. She could have brought down

your whole situation, so you couldn't let her live.

Is this is some kind of joke?

All we did was get her to leave town.

- Right, honey? - Yes.

But again, she didn't leave, did she?

I have no idea what she did.

So her van just magically appeared on your property?

You're lying. Both of you.

He's not.

Mom?

[Eric] Charlotte, what did you do?

You owe your son the truth.

You couldn't have him running off with Mia.

Not after she found out what your family

does to people that get in the way.

So what? You just got rid of her.

And you lied to your son.

I was only trying to tell him,

warn him what she was going to do if she kept talking.

So you got Tony to make sure she couldn't talk.

- Why? - Don't say anything.

Mom?

This girl wouldn't stop.

She wouldn't leave.

I tried and tried to make her see, but she wouldn't.

So you killed her.

[siren wailing]

- [cell phone vibrating] - Hey, Teddi.

- What the hell is that sound? - [Teddi] It's a pottery wheel,

which I'm trying, so Velma

will leave me alone and we can return it.

[chuckles] What's next?

Well, we're looking into a few things.

Up in Bozeman, there's a teenage runaway.

Hey, Teddi, give the man a rest.

Oh, that's Reenie. I should probably say bye.

Yeah, you should.

Hey. By the way, I'll be filing a civil suit

on behalf of Nathaniel Orcutt's next of kin.

So you could help me out with that.

Sure. Sure.

Good job on this.

Mia's body was recovered

on one of the Winslows' other properties.

I owe you one.

I'll add it to your very long tab.

[mouthing] Okay.

Oh, almost forgot. I got a weird call.

Some guy Russell? Says he knows you.

I have no idea why he called me

or how he even got my number,

- but... - Block the number.

You can't just tell me to do that

because you forget I have skills.

I'm nosy.

So better you tell me now who this is.

And don't say a telemarketer.

Russell is my brother. We haven't spoken in 20 years.

And?

He killed our father, and then he disappeared.

Wow. Okay.

- Nothing. - Nothing? He's calling me.

Reenie, block the number.

If you need my help, just ask.

No, it's something I gotta do on my own.

Okay.

[Reenie sighs]

Gotta go.

Yeah.
