SALESWOMAN: She'll love it.
This is one of our most popular

- Wow.
Made exclusively for us.
- I see.
- If she just doesn't love it,
we do offer store exchanges
if returned
within five days of purchase.
- That's beautiful. I'll take it.
- So, I will go ahead
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
Yeah. Could you check on my wife?
Sure thing.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
Weird, she's not there.
Did she come out the front?
No.
Clare?
Clare?

- The hell?
- You sure she didn't go out the front?
Hey, Clare?
Maybe she went out the back?
Uh, this
[DOOR CLOSES]
Clare?
Clare? Wha
[PHONE VIBRATES]
Velma, what's up?
VELMA: Hey, Colter.
Are you still in upstate New York?
Decided to spend
an extra day in the Adirondacks.
Really? I went to sleepaway camp
at Lake George when I was a kid.
Sounds fun.
Well, if you call getting tied up
in a sleeping bag and
getting thrown around the cabin
by Jessica Hatt fun, then yeah.
You're making me happy
I missed sleepaway camp.
What you got?
$20,000 reward.
A woman in Manhattan
walked into a dressing room
and just vanished.
Weird, right?
Yeah, that's weird.
All right, send me the details.
Logan Dillard?
Colter Shaw.
Uh, yes. Thank you for coming so fast.
Yeah. Tell me what happened
to your wife.
Uh, I don't I-I don't know.
She just disappeared.
Police?
Yeah, I called them right away.
They didn't find anything.
Okay.
They have any theories?
[SCOFFS] Yeah, that, uh, she ditched me.
You have any reason
to believe that might be true?
No.
Okay.
And no calls, no texts?
Nothing. She-she left her phone.
This is
this is not like her.
The police they told me to
wait for 48 hours,
so I posted on social media and no
one has heard from her.
Okay. Well, let's head in,
take a look around.
- Maybe the police missed something.
- Yeah.
The store's closed today,
but the owner's letting us in.
I'll show you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
So, what were you and your wife
doing here yesterday?
Having lunch, shopping.
I'm usually in the lab on the weekend.
I do aeronautics research
for Pollux Dynamics
over at Greenpoint.
Well, she came by, she
dragged me out to lunch
and then we went shopping.
Okay. And neither of you
had been to this store before?
No. No, no.
Uh, we were literally window shopping.
And I convinced her to come in
and try on the dress.
It was totally random.
So, her, um, purse
a-and her phone
were left just,
uh, right there.
- You two in a fight recently?
- No.
Everything's great between us.
Okay.
Well, there wouldn't be
any cameras back here,
it's a dressing room.
Do you think that maybe she was taken?
Maybe someone was waiting
for her out the back?
Anything's possible.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Anyone out here?
No. No, and the police they-they've
already checked all of this.
Yeah.
Camera.
Yeah. Uh, the police said
it hasn't worked for months.
There's no sign of forced entry.
Did Clare ever do anything
like this before
- just, uh, disappear without notice?
- Yeah.
Uh, there was one time
when we were first dating.
Tell me about that.
Uh, we went out for dinner.
Uh, she had to use the restroom
and-and
she was gone for almost an hour.
Actually, I found her
behind the restaurant.
She give you a reason?
Her brother called.
He's had
drug issues off and on.
Needed money.
When was this?
Uh, two years ago.
But I-I've called him.
He hasn't heard from her in a year.
What about her work anything unusual
- happening at her work?
- No.
She works for a small book publisher.
It's pretty chill.
Listen, I got people
looking into her background.
Phone records, socials.
If we're gonna find
anything interesting,
any surprises, you're best
just to let me know now.
No. No, like I said, this is just
so weird.
We were having a normal day. It was
- [PHONE DINGS]
- Sorry.
[SIGHS] Our Nest camera
is linked to my phone.
The hell?
Someone's breaking into
our place right now.
Let's go.
♪
No one here.
Is there anything
they could have been after?
Yeah, it's-it's in the bedroom.
Um, cash a-and jewelry in the dresser.
Uh, it's all still here.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah.
There a laptop at this workstation?
Uh, it's it's Clare's work computer.
Is that it?
No, that's mine.
I mean, this-this all has
something to do
with Clare's disappearance, right?
I think so. Chairs, lamps,
all an afterthought,
trying to set the scene.
I don't understand.
Whoever did this
whoever broke in here
was trying to make it
look like a robbery.
They were after something specific.
Show me that, uh, video again.
Uh, yeah.
Um
COLTER: Hmm.
Yeah, that's a signal jammer.
Used to kill your security.
Now, that's awfully sophisticated
for a smash and grab.
Definitely looking for something.
You say Clare's work computer's missing?
Yeah.
You talk to anybody from her job?
Uh, yes. I spoke to her boss yesterday.
She said that no one's heard from Clare.
I'm gonna go to Clare's office.
I think you should stay at a hotel
until we figure out
what the hell's going on here.
Okay. I mean,
- if you think that that
- I do.
♪
RANDY: What up, Colter? You find her?
No, there's no sign of Clare.
All these bodies were executed
in the past few hours.
How many dead?
- Five.
- Damn.
Okay, Colter,
whatever this is, it's not
your simple missing wife job.
Clare told her husband she
worked for a publishing company.
That's not what this place is.
Yeah, I'm pulling up SLD
Publishing's website now.
Yeah, this whole thing
looks sus. Like it was made in the '90s.
It's a front.
A front for what?
My guess, it's a off-the-books operation
for some government agency.
The question is
what are they doing here
and what's Clare's involvement?
Man, stepping into a hornet's nest.
Yeah.
Can you pull up a staff
page with names, photos?
Yeah, I'm looking at it now.
Uh, seven employees,
including Clare.
Seven employees, five dead.
So
who's missing besides Clare?
Send me that page, will you?
Yeah, I just sent it.
[PHONE CHIMES]
Eileen Turner.
Editor in chief, appears to be the boss.
I'm at her desk.
If someone was targeting
all the employees who work here,
Eileen and Clare are in danger.
Or Eileen's the one that went postal.
Maybe.
Computer's locked.
Can you tether in with my cell phone?
Can I tether the phone to get you
Yeah, I can do that.
Tell me when you're in.
Yeah, I'm in. I got it.
You in?
Uh-huh. Let me see what we got.
Okay.
Employee file here.
Clare Dillard.
That's the one there.
Looks encrypted.
Can you help me out with that?
Yeah, let me cook.
Okay, okay.
All right, I got a bunch of
voice recordings.
I'm gonna play the most recent one.
Okay.
MAN: SLD Publishing.
CLARE: Neptune double zero 1-2-4-8-5.
MAN: Agent ID confirmed.
WOMAN: Neptune,
have you identified the anomaly yet?
CLARE: Not yet,
but we're getting close.
I'll have a name soon.
WOMAN: Who else knows about this?
CLARE: Frank and
Phillips have been read in,
but not on everything.
WOMAN: How are things on your end?
Home life?
CLARE: Logan doesn't know anything.
[ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES]
Someone's here.
What?
Yo, you good?
[BAGS RUSTLING]
[PRINTER WHIRRING]
It's just the printer.
♪
Come on.
[ALARM BLARING]
Turn that off.
I don't understand this.
Clare's involved
in some kind of espionage,
could be corporate, could be government.
This makes her disappearance
even more complicated.
So-so you think that she's a spy?
When'd you meet her?
Two and a half years ago,
on a flight back from London.
We were sitting next
to each other on the plane.
- Does Clare travel a lot?
- Yeah.
To conventions.
I'm not sure how well
you really know your wife.
No. No.
I know Clare, okay? I know her.
No, that It's just
That's not possible.
Her office was targeted.
Five dead, no sign of Clare.
[KNOCKING]
Logan, people can love each other
and lie to one another
to protect them from the truth.
No, I'm sorry, I d-I didn't
order any room service.

Hi, you've reached Logan.
Leave a message.
- [LINE RINGING]
- Come on, come on, come on,
pick up, man. Come on.
- Hey, Randy, what's up?
- Reenie,
something's really weird
about this case Colter's on.
What, the missing woman?
Yeah, that.
He went to her office
and he found everybody dead.
Some place called SLD Publishing,
except that's not what it is.
All right? It's, like, a front
for some intelligence operation,
like, spy stuff.
W-Wait, hold on.
How do you know that, exactly?
Because I hacked into the mainframe,
heard a bunch of voice recordings
of people talking in code name.
Firewalls. Like, weird firewalls
and hack traps. Like, this is
this is next-level stuff.
Okay. Okay. What do you need from me?
You got all those
government contacts, right?
I've got a few, yeah.
Okay, I need you to use 'em.
We got to find out who
this SLD Publishing really is.
Colter's flying blind here
and these kind of people, man,
they-they're dangerous.
They don't play around.
Yeah. Randy?
Getting someone to spill
classified information
that's gonna be a big ask.
Yeah, I know.
And I wouldn't be asking
if it wasn't serious.
Okay? I'm asking you
to help me to help Colter.
You keep asking around
and I'll keep digging, okay?
I got you.
Thank you. Thank you. I
What the hell?
You got to be kidding me.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, this can't be happening.
What is this?
What's going on?
I got to go.
I got a breach situation, okay?
You just Let me know

[PHONE RINGS]
[DISTORTED]: Mr. Shaw.
We know who you are.
Who's this?
That's not important.
What is important is that you
stop doing what you're doing.
What'd you do with Logan?
You working with Clare?
You've been warned.
Walk away, Mr. Shaw.
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
- Reenie?
Hey. Just got the download from Randy.
You find out what
Clare's office is a front for?
Yeah, my contact really went out
on a limb for me on this one
and we're still barely
scratching the surface,
but it appears that SLD Publishing
is a front for
the Counter Terrorism Agency,
connected to some kind
of satellite research.
Off the books?
From what they can tell, yes,
buried in some DoD intelligence arm.
But, uh
Listen, my advice: quit this job
right now.
Mm. Someone just
gave me the same advice.
It could be kind of like
the Manhattan Project.
You know? Isolated sections
that don't know about the others,
so no one's really getting
the full picture.
Creates plausible deniability
and gives whoever is funding
this thing a moral firewall
in case things go south.
Colter, where are you?
Logan Dillard's hotel room.
Someone took him.
- Colter
- I got to go.
[ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES]
♪
[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]
Easy, Clare.
I'm not a threat.
Your husband hired me to find you.
Who the hell are you?
Colter Shaw.
You met your husband Logan
on a flight back from London, right?
Only he didn't know you were a spy.
Was he just a mark?
Of course not. You don't know
what the hell you're talking about.
I know you're on the run.
I know everyone in your office is dead
except you and Eileen Turner.
I can help you with whatever this is.
Tell me what's going on.
That's just it.
I don't have all the pieces.
Logan should have never
brought you into this.
Well, you didn't leave him
much of a choice, did you?
Disappearing like that.
Want to tell me what's going on?
I got a text from my section chief.
- Eileen Turner.
- Yeah, she said we'd been compromised,
that we were going dark.
She had a car waiting in the alley.
And you left without telling Logan?
That's the protocol.
Leave everything personal
and walk away.
What do you do at that office?
We control an array
of cloaked satellites.
We choose the coordinates,
process the data,
look for breach attempts.
High level surveillance,
counterintelligence.
- Yeah, it's important work.
- It's covert.
Yeah, I knew what we were doing
had implications, but this?
Come on, guys.
Where'd you go
after Eileen picked you up?
She took me to a safe house,
told me to stay put
until I got further instructions,
but then I started
piecing things together.
Someone in the office
noticed, uh, a leak last week.
Someone in the office was
selling information to a third party.
Your boss, Eileen.
Yeah. And by the time I realized that
I was too late. Went to the office,
everyone was already dead.
She's mopping up her mess.
But to kill everyone?
She left you alive.
Oh, I-I know the way her mind works.
She needs something from me.
Tracked Logan's phone here,
figured I could get him someplace safe
until I can figure out my next move.
But I have to find him.
I need to explain. I
They took him.
Eileen and whoever she's
working with they have him.
I left the safe house, and
when she realized I was gone,
she must have taken him as leverage.
Who does Eileen report to?
Deputy Director Bartholomew.
Okay, you call him and you tell
him exactly what's going on.
No, I don't know him. I never met him.
I-I don't trust anyone right now.
I don't know how high this goes.
[PHONE CHIMES]
It's Eileen.
She wants to meet at 7:00.
No, I-I got to find Logan first.
You don't go to that meeting, he's dead.
They'll kill him.
Let me find him. Trust me.
I'm all you got.
- ♪
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Just be ready. She's going to
get Eileen to give us proof of life.
Yeah, and if she doesn't?
She will.
She has to.
All right, here comes
Eileen now, right on time.
Cute.
I used to pass notes in these
as a little girl.
My first spycraft.
EILEEN: You're too
smart for your own good.
Never expected you
to run from the safe house.
Learned from the best.
Trust nobody.
I was just trying to protect you.
You don't really believe that.
Man, this chick
is playing it cool as hell.
If that was me, I'd be over
that table on her.
[EXCLAIMS]
COLTER: She knows what's at stake.
She wants to see her husband again,
she's got to play ball.
EILEEN: You know, Clare,
I spared your life.
You were saving me for later.
Wrong.
If you'd just stayed at
the safe house for 24 hours,
this whole mess would have been
cleaned up,
we'd have relocated the office,
hired new staff. Everything would have
been fixed and Logan's life
wouldn't depend on
what you do next.
Come on, Clare.
Ask her the question.
And what is next?
Need your help in finishing this.
I'm gonna need you
to go back to the office.
Why would you want me
The satellite.
Takes two people to reposition it.
Thatta girl. So quick.
CLARE: That's why you spared my life.
And here I thought
you believed in something.
Why are you doing this?
Money?
It always is. I see that now.
I don't.
EILEEN: The first ask
was just military targets.
Coordinates.
No casualties. Easy, actually.
Then it was political targets.
Who?
Does it matter?
CLARE: Suppose not.
Everyone has their
price, it seems.
EILEEN: Didn't start out that way.
Carl, Delano,
Katie,
Madeline, Richard,
all dead.
That's on you.
Yes, it is.
I'm gonna finish what I started,
and you're gonna help me.
I want my husband back.
Help me tonight.
You get Logan back,
never have to see me again.
If you want money, I can arrange that.
I am not going anywhere with you
until you give me proof
that Logan is alive.
Yo, you got a minute?
I just want you to think of any card,
You don't have to tell me what it is.
Who the hell is this?
COLTER: I'm sorry,
now's not a good time, okay?
I'm in the middle of something.
Yo, you peeping on that girl?
What?
I found me a Peeping Tom.
Whoa. It's cool.
Just buy a couple of tickets
to my magic show tonight
and I'll get out of here.
You got to be kidding me.
[LINE RINGING]
Kidding me? Here.
Let her see him.
Just take it all, take it all.
- Give me the tickets.
- All right.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
- You won't regret it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Best night of your life.
They're gone.
Get a location where she's hiding him?
Got it.
Sending the address now.
You know your girl's
on a suicide mission, right?
The second she does
what old iron lady wants,
she's gonna kill her.
Yeah.
And she's trying to give us
more time to find Logan.
Then you better go find him.

I got a letter in my office this morning
from a Deputy Director Bartholomew.
Name ring a bell?
It's the man Eileen Turner reported to.
Yeah, exactly. And he
wanted me to thank you for your service.
- That's odd.
- Right?
Like, is this letter
meant to be reassuring,
as if "You have nothing to worry about"
or is it meant to be a warning,
to say, "We're watching you,"
like, "all of the time"?
Well, if they want to reach out
and touch someone, they will.
Figured that.
I'm sure they'll be paying me a visit.
Until then, I'm not gonna
worry about it.
Okay. Well, fair enough.
Um, I've got to get to court, but hey,
you should go check out a Broadway show
before you leave the city.
