All right. Here we are.
- Where are we? - Yeah, you don't remember
that place that I told you about?
You still want to have some fun, right?
No. No. I just...
I just... Not anymore.
I want to go home.
Come...
I thought you wanted to come here, though.
- Come on. - Okay. Oof...
Whoa, whoa.
Let me help.
I got you.
Mm... So many stairs.
You got it.
Oh...
- Randy, talk to me. - Big guy.
- You on the road yet? - No, not yet.
- I'm getting some work done. - Cool.
Well, I got this job for you in Kansas City.
Okay, tell me about it.
There's a Dr. Evelyn Martell who went missing.
- Her sister posted the job. - Police?
Uh... don't think so. At least not yet.
She sounded a little frantic in the message, but
- she checks out. - Okay.
Yeah, send me the address.
You got it.
Good morning.
- Morning. - I, uh...
I got you a little something for your new office.
It's a tree of wisdom.
Oh.
- You know, I-I kill plants. - Not that one.
It's so easy. You barely even have to water it.
- What-what... what does it do? - It, uh,
grows and it makes you happy.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You can give it a name if you want. You can talk to it.
I-I actually like to play mine music.
All right, maybe I'll do that. Thank you so much.
- Yeah, of course. - This is really nice. Look, the...
Um, is Colter gonna take that case you were talking about?
He's on the way. You know. I just let him do his thing.
- Oh. You need... - Oh! Here, let me help.
Oh, thank you. You're the best.
And, uh, if you do not mind,
there are two more in my trunk.
- Yeah, I'll be right back. - Thank you.
And, um, I want to show you the little war room that I made
- for the Maxine case. - War room? We haven't even
- taken the case yet. - I know.
Yeah, it's more of, like, a-a table and a whiteboard.
But I've got this new system
that I think you'll really like that'll help us
sort through all this discovery paperwork.
- I love a system. - Yeah.
- Get it, girl. - Okay. Thank you.
- Good morning. - Speaking of systems...
- Yes? - Can I get you for just
five minutes? I want to show you this new
passkey security system that I'm putting in.
Oh, no. Can we do it later?
No. I need five minutes.
- Okay. - All right.
- Am I in trouble? - No. No, no, no.
I'm just trying to prevent digital backsliding, is all.
Wh... Have I been doing that?
Little bit, yeah. Come on. We'll tighten it up.
Okay. Come on. Let's do it.
- Oh, no, that's not... - Come on.
Janie Martell? Colter Shaw.
- Thank you for meeting me here. - Yeah, of course.
You say you found your sister's car?
- Yes, over there. - Okay.
Uh, Evie never came home last night
and then missed her shift today.
- She works here? - Yeah.
She's a fellow at the trauma surgery department
here at St. Patrick's. Um, I called the police,
but they didn't find any signs of foul play,
so it's not a priority at this point.
And what do you think happened?
I don't know. Um...
But something's been off with her for the past couple weeks.
She hasn't been herself. She's been frazzled
and short with me, and I don't think she's been sleeping much.
So, maybe she took off to sort of, uh, reset?
I don't think so. She doesn't reset.
- She, like, never takes a break. - This hers?
Yeah.
Um...
What about, uh, hospital security... they see anything?
No, um, they said this part of the lot's in a blind spot,
so, uh, it didn't show up on surveillance.
- I don't know if that's true. - They show you?
No. That's just what the head of security told me.
Okay.
Your sister in a relationship?
- No. - No?
What about at work? Anything at work going on?
Maybe. Few weeks ago,
she came home from her shift and she was a mess.
She went straight for a bottle of vodka,
and was breaking things.
And she's done that before?
No. I've never seen her like that.
I asked her what happened, but she wouldn't tell me.
How about more recent? Any-Anything at all more recent?
Um... Uh...
She had a meeting with a Dr. Hooper,
I think he's the, uh, attending surgeon on her team.
- Okay. - I don't know what it was about
but, uh, she was nervous.
And when I saw her afterwards, she...
It just seemed like it didn't go well.
She was really distant.
I'm sorry, I have to ask. Do-do you think
there's a possibility that maybe your sister...
maybe she did something to herself?
I don't know.
Please help me find her.
I'll help you.

Dr. Hooper. Hi, I'm Colter Shaw.
Looking for Evie Martell. Her sister hired me to find her.
She's gone missing.
- Uh, let's step in here. - Sure.
I was wondering where Evelyn was today.
She never made it home from her shift last night.
Her car's still in the parking lot.
You don't seem too surprised by that.
Uh, she's been having some problems lately.
Her sister mentioned, uh, you had a meeting with her recently?
I did. Um, about a month ago, uh, a patient was brought in
after a car accident and she came into the OR and just...
...froze up. And then she walked out and I had to
- finish the procedure for her. - Hmm.
Do you have any idea what that was about?
She wouldn't say.
But her behavior had been off lately,
so I, um, I checked on her last week
and, uh, found her in the supply room,
and she brushed me off. But when she left,
I found vials of lorazepam had been stolen.
- Did you report her? - No.
No, I didn't want to end her career.
- I tried to handle it myself. - Okay.
- She ever do that before? - No, no.
I talked to her about it, but I got a sense that
maybe she was dealing with some trauma
that she didn't want to share with me.
Some recent trauma, maybe?
Well, I'm not a shrink, so I don't want to speculate, but
a lot of type A people like Evie are covering for something,
um, trying to work away the demons. Uh...
I was hoping that, you know, she would come to me
if she needed someone to talk to.
Now I wish I had been more firm with her.
Hmm. Did you see Evie last night?
I did. I did. I took her off the surgery schedule for a week,
kept her in the clinic.
She seemed fine.
I'd love to take a look at the, uh, security footage
- from the hospital, if I could. - Uh...
We have, uh, strict privacy protocols.
- We-we... - No, I'm sure. I-I'm sure you do.
I just, uh...
I'm trying to find out what happened to her.
Uh...
You have ten minutes, but that's it.
Look, if security saw something suspicious,
I'm-I'm they would have reported it.
Yeah. One second.
Yeah.
Huh. See that?
That's not Evie.
You sure? That's the same necklace
from the photo that her sister sent me.
- Is she wearing a wig? - Yeah.
- Why would she do that? - I don't know.
Huh.
You see that? Look. Look at that.
She's covering her face. She knows the cameras are there.
Strange.
I hope she's not having a psychotic break.
Her sister had the same concern, actually.
Wherever she's going, she doesn't want to be recognized.
Hey, Randy. Got any information
- on our missing doctor's phone? - Nothing.
It's either dead or the SIM card's been pulled.
Either way, there's not much I can do there.
All right. I got her leaving the hospital last night.
I need to know where she went.
You got a time stamp on her exit?
11:05.
Her car's still there in the parking lot, right?
So, she either walked
or somebody picked her up.
Could have called a cab.
Yeah. Let me see what I can find.
She's definitely running away
from something. She's wearing a wig,
she's got a big bag under her arm.
Um, her supervisor seems to think she might
be under some kind of emotional distress.
- Any idea what triggered that? - No, not yet.
Okay, here we go.
Local cab company picked up a female rider
at 11:15, one block over.
Where were they headed?
On it.
Ooh.
Nice, swanky bar downtown called Acquafarina.
Acquafarina. All right, headed there now.
Thanks, Randy.
- Hey. - Hi.
- What can I get you? - Oh.
I was, uh, actually just hoping to get some information.
Bar's for paying customers.
- It's kind of how it works. - Yes.
I figured you'd say that.
Here you go.
I was wondering, uh, were you working here last night?
Unfortunately. Got stuck working a double
- 'cause someone called in sick. - Okay.
So, I'm looking for someone.
Wonder if... if she was here last night.
If this is some infidelity private eye crap, I don't rat
- on who does what here. - No.
No, it's nothing like that. I, uh,
was hired by her sister
to find her. She thinks maybe something happened to her.
Her name's Evie. You recognize her?
Oh, yeah. Girl was a hot mess.
A hot mess? In what way?
She was out for a good time.
Okay, one more.
Mm!
She come here with someone?
No, she showed up alone.
So, she met up with someone while she was here?
Not that I saw, but she did start talking to one of my
regulars right over there.
- Looked like they were sparking. - Yeah?
- Hi. Is this taken? - No. Not... not at all. Hi.
We're gonna have fun.
All right. Cheers. I'm-I'm
down for that.
- Okay. - What's his name?
Josh. Nice guy.
Good tipper.
What happened?
She started getting sloppy.
Fell over a couple times, made a scene.
You ask her to leave?
Yeah, but then Josh offered her a ride home,
- so, problem solved. - Wow.
Strong.
- Yes, it is. - Ooh!
- Oh, my God. Are you all right? - I'm so...
-You good? All right, all right, -so... Yeah.
- hold on. Let's just... - Should we call her an Uber?
No, I'll just drop her off on my way home. Thank you.
- It's not that far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Are you sure?
- Great. Yeah. See you soon. - You're the best. See you soon.
All right, take care. You ready?
Except she never made it home.
Really?
That's weird.
Weird.
This Josh... he have a last name?
Look, I've helped you as much as I can,
but this guy is a regular, and this is crossing a line.
So, if you want that information,
you're gonna have to get it from the police.
I understand. Okay, well, thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
Oh, hey, one last thing. Do you remember what time
all this went down last night?
We were at last call, so it must have been about 1:45.
Okay. Thanks again.
You're welcome.
Okay, I got it.
Josh Greyland, 35 years old.
accountant at a local firm. Partner track.
- He have a record? - Squeaky clean, my man.
Few parking tickets that he actually paid on time.
Who does that?
Well, the bartender at this place that Evie went to
said this guy gave her a ride home.
- Can you send me the address? - On its way.
Thank you.
I'm at Josh's house right now. Place is empty,
but something definitely went down here.
I got a bloodstained sofa and a shell casing.
Where do you think they went?
Can you find the location of his phone?
Already tried, man. It's dead.
Been off for a while. Not pinging anywhere.
He took her somewhere.
There's no car in the driveway.
Well, it looks like he owns a 2023 BMW X5.
See if I can track it.
Definitely missing something about this guy.
Uh, yeah, I'd say a lot.
All right, I got the last place the GPS on his car pinged.
It's a parking garage in town. Sending you the address now.
Got it. Thanks, Randy. All right.
Yeah.
Keep walking.
I... I can't breathe.
I'm serious, I-I need air.
- Hey. - Hey.
You, uh, process those files yet?
Yeah, I just finished with the ones you brought.
Okay, and you do know there's gonna be more.
- I saw the inventory list, yeah. - Yeah.
- It's gonna be a lot of work. - Um, speaking of that,
Maxine's assistant checked in twice already.
I don't think I can stall much longer.
She wants an answer.
No doubt. Maxine's insisting on stopping by.
But don't worry, I-I told them
that we're busy with the Colter case.
Yeah, I bet she saw right through that.
She joked about putting a clock on you.
She's not joking.
Um, question for you.
What would you do?
Would you say yes after knowing what we've found already?
Um...
I mean... yeah.
Yeah, I would, but
I feel like it's-it's more of a...
a fishing expedition, as my mom would say.
Yeah, that's what it feels like, and I've got a lot of questions.
Okay. Um... call Maxine.
Set the meet for here.
And no champagne this time.
Okay, yeah, I'm on it.
- Randy. - You find the car?
Found the car.
Engine's cold.
There's no sign of Josh or our doctor.
But I see more blood.
All right, well, I don't know if this is anything,
but I thought it was interesting.
Turns out this dude Josh came into Evie's hospital
after a car accident.
- All right. How long ago? - A month.
Far as I can tell, she was one of the surgeons during the operation.
Her supervisor said she had an incident at work.
Said she, uh, she froze up during a procedure.
I'm thinking maybe those two things are related.
Okay. So, this guy runs into her
at a bar, figures she's the doctor that treated him
- and he takes her. - I don't know.
She was in disguise. Maybe he didn't recognize her at all.
How in the world does that make sense?
We're onto something.
We got an empty vial of lorazepam.
You think he drugged her?
Colter?
No, I think maybe it's the other way around.
- What? - She got caught
stealing the exact same drug right after she saw Josh.
But what does that mean?
I think maybe she kidnapped him.
Please. Please! I...
None of this makes any sense.
You've got the wrong person.
Oh! God, please.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I've never seen you before.
You don't remember, do you?
I told you. No.
So let me go right now.
You want to know what I remember?
The look you gave when you took me into that room.
That tattoo.
It was all I could see when you and your friend
were having your fun.
Now...
...I'm gonna leave a mark of my own.
Wait, I-I don't understand.
What do you mean Evie abducted someone?
Think she ran into this guy at her work about a month ago,
it triggered something in her.
She targeted him at this bar.
Gonna send you a picture of him right now.
Tell me if you recognize him.
No, I have never seen
him before. Why would she do this?
I don't know. Maybe some trauma,
something from her past, maybe?
There was an incident in college.
But I-I don't know why it would be related.
- Tell me what happened. - It was horrible.
Evie was at some frat party
when she was assaulted by a couple of guys.
She reported it to the police, but...
they said she had been drinking,
she didn't know who her attackers were.
So, no charges were filed.
No.
Evie went really internal.
She withdrew.
Buried herself in work.
Moved on.
You think Josh could be one of the guys who assaulted her?
I think maybe she saw him at her work and she recognized him.
So she's getting revenge?
- I don't understand. - Yeah.
Don't exactly understand how.
This guy deserves justice, but right now we need
to find your sister before she does something that she can't...
...take back. Hold on a second.
I think she stashed a car here.
What car?
Just follow me, here.
So, she planned this whole thing, right?
If that's true, maybe she had a spare car here
to throw us off her trail, so she could buy herself some time.
Take Josh to, uh, a-a discreet place.
You have any idea where that might be? Anything at all?
Our uncle's place. Uh...
I-I don't know. Uh...
Our uncle had a-had a hunting cabin in the woods.
He died last year. Left us his house.
It's pretty remote.
I think maybe that's where she took him.
You give me an address?
I have it in my phone. I'll text it right away.
- Hey, Randy. - Hmm?
You heard anything from Colter yet?
Yeah. Still haven't found our missing doctor.
But you know what, not too sure she wants to be found.
Yeah.
Looks like she was after some guy for revenge.
Aren't we all? Shout if you need anything.
Yeah, you got it.
- Hey. - Hi.
Maxine's on her way up.
Uh, great. We'll meet in my office.
Okay.
Wait, you're sure you don't want anything?
Um...
coffee and water, if she asks.
And I want you in the meeting.
- Really? - Yeah.
You know the discovery files as well as I do.
Okay.
What the hell?
No, come on.
Come on.
No, no, no, no, no.
There you are.
The sedative must be wearing off.
Sorry about that.
This next part's gonna hurt.
- You're insane. - No.
No. I survived you.
And what you did to me that night.
I made something of myself.
Built a life.
And then I saw you after so many years,
and it was like a miracle.
Like you were sent to me.
To pay for what you did.
What the hell are you doing?!
I'm gonna make sure
that you can't hurt another woman ever again.
You took something from me,
and now I'm gonna take something from you.
No. Please.
Just tell me what you want.
Anything.
I want you
to look into this camera
and admit what you did to me ten years ago.
How am I supposed to remember that far back?
It was a costume party.
Frat house on Pickard Street.
I was a witch.
And you and your sick friend were dressed up as cowboys.
Start from the beginning.
Tell me exactly what happened.
Okay.
- Can I get you anything? - I'm good, thanks.
Well, thanks for making it in so quickly.
I needed an excuse to get out of that dinner.
Oh, please. Have a seat.
Okay.
Oh, uh... I was hoping we could talk alone.
I actually invited Mel to sit in.
She's been helping me with the discovery that you sent over.
Has she?
Right.
Well, I guess that means you're in.
You're gonna take the job?
Well, I am leaning in,
I just have a few questions first.
Of course. I can assure you
that I, as well as my firm, have your back, 100%.
I truly appreciate that.
And I'm guessing you already know from the files
that I looked at that
this case is gonna go to some pretty dark places.
Well, they always do.
I found one mysterious death already,
Maxine, and if my gut is right on this,
- I will be finding more. - Okay, I'm...
I'm gonna need to stop you right there.
I need to know if you're in or out.
I'm in.
I do have one small request, though.
- Go ahead. - Ask it.
I would like my assistant, Mel,
to be added to the team.
And I need to know your firm is gonna protect her
the same way that they would protect me.
- Is she mute? - No, ma'am.
I'm just watching and learning.
Sure you are.
But what is it, exactly, that you think you're going to do?
She caught several
discrepancies in the witness testimonies already.
Okay.
Well, I look forward to hearing all about them.
Thank you, Reenie.
I won't let you down.
I know.
I'll have Peter draw up the final contracts
and the NDAs.
Perfect. Glad to be aboard.
Where's Evie?
Where is she?
What'd you do to her?
I didn't do anything to her.
That crazy chick cut me up.
- Where's she go? - Uh, she tortured me
and then left. That's what happened.
Why'd she leave you here?
She got what she wanted.
What was that? What'd she want?
For me to confess.
- Go on. - She wanted to know
who the other guy was in the room that night.
Who was it?
Victor.
Victor Christophers.
Name is Victor Christophers, lives in Mission Hills.
I'm on it, I'm on it, I'm on it.
Got him. Looks like he's a stockbroker at Kaspbrak Financial.
So, she's after this guy now for revenge?
I don't know about that.
She could have killed this Josh guy, right?
But she didn't.
She just got a confession from him.
She recorded it on her cell phone.
She wants the truth to finally come out.
She wants justice.
Yeah. She's gonna get it by whatever means she has to.
But she spent a whole month
planning Josh's abduction.
Now she's going after Victor. Dude, she's improvising.
Yeah, which means this whole thing could go sideways quick.
Yeah. I sent you the address.
Thank you.
- Ready for bed? - Yeah.
Hello, Victor.
Remember me?
Please.
I have no idea who you are.
But I have kids in the house.
Do you want money?
I have cash here. You can have it all.
I don't need your money.
Okay, then what?
I'll get you anything you want.
I want you to pay
for what you did to me.
You and your sick friend Josh.
- I don't know a Josh. - Don't lie to me.
You and Josh were at a frat party.
Halloween.
You handed me a drink.
I barely had a few sips before I started feeling woozy.
Didn't make any sense at first.
Until you and Josh took me into a back room.
He locked the door
and held me down.
And then...
...you both
raped me.
I was powerless.
I didn't even know you. And you...
you got away.
And I...
I was left
with this forever.
Okay, listen to me.
You have the wrong guy.
That's what Josh said, too.
Before he confessed to everything.
And now you're gonna do the same.
Are you okay?
I am now.
What the hell is going on? Who is this woman?
I don't know. I don't know. Uh, a drug addict, maybe.
She-she broke in, she started threatening me.
I-I don't know. I've never seen her in my life.
- I'll call the police. - No, no, no.
No. Get the kids,
take 'em to your mother's. I'll call the police,
stay here until they arrive. Go.
- Okay. - Go.
Okay.
Hello, Evie.
It's been a long time.
All right.
All right. Nothing to be scared of, okay, sweethearts?
We're just going to Grandma's for the night.
Excuse me.
This Victor Christopher's house?
Uh, I'm his wife. Are you with the police?
About the woman that we caught breaking in?
I'm not with the police, but I'm here to help.
Where's your husband right now?
Well, he's in the house. He's keeping an eye on her
while I get the kids to safety.
Okay, great. Don't go back in the house.
Call the police again, make sure they're on their way.
- Okay? - Why? What is happening right now?
Call the police.
Okay, let's go.
No...
You regretting this yet, Evie?
You should have left this behind you.
Does anyone else know you're here?
What'd you think was gonna happen here, Evie?
You should never have come here.
Let her go!
Let her go.
Hey.
Hey. Hey.
Wait.
Open your eyes.
Look at me. Open your eyes.
You're gonna be okay. All right?
Come on, let's get you out of here.
- How is she? - Uh...
Grade 3 concussion. Few broken ribs.
But in time, she'll be okay. We have her resting now.
My sister's a fighter. That's for sure.
Yeah, she really is.
I had no idea what Evie had been through.
I only wish I could have done more,
been someone she felt she could talk to.
I don't know, I think you did plenty for her, actually.
Uh, I got to go. But I'll check on Evie later. You take care.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Doctor.
I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Shaw.
Just glad I could help.
Oh.
Yeah. Thank you.
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yeah, yeah. Both, actually.
Okay, so you know how it is.
Grow up in the same house. You share laughs,
struggles. But, um...
when they're hurting, it's like you're hurting, too.
Only you can't make the pain go away.
Hmm.
You can be there for her. Like you were today.
Take care of each other, okay? All right.
You don't...
don't have to do this, okay?
Hey, Colter.
Hey, Reenie.
Hey, great timing. I just got off the phone
with my friend from the D.A.'s office and, um,
I got them to not press any charges against Evie.
That's a good thing, right?
Yeah. And, hey, guess what.
It turns out that Josh is a suspect
in a number of assaults, so...
Missouri doesn't have a statute of limitations
for forcible rape. It sounds like
he'll be going away for a very, very long time.
I mean, it doesn't take back what happened, but
he won't be able to hurt anyone like that again.
There's some justice, right?
Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't
condone vigilantism, but...
I can understand why she
went to such great lengths.
Me too.
Yeah, I mean, trauma, right?
Can really haunt you in ways you could never imagine.
Yeah. Uh...
There something you want to talk about, Reenie?
No. What?
I'm good.
You know, if you're not good, I'm... I'm here.
Talk you to you whenever, uh,
whenever you need. You know that, right?
Yeah.
Thanks.
I've just been busy.
- You know how it is. - Yeah.
Yeah, I know how it is.
Listen, you, um...
have a good night, okay?
Okay. You too.
