COLTER: I don't know what you're
doing with that phone, Rog.
- You're wasting your time.
- Yeah, well,
sometimes a signal sneaks through.
Not this deep.
Doesn't make sense,
- what they were doing this far back.
- Yeah.
I don't know.
Been gone for over 30 hours,
we're still on their tracks.
They ditch their snowboards.
Not exactly prime backcountry
snowboarding territory.
You remember that, uh,
that retired smokejumper
that we helped rescue outside
of Klamath a few years back?
- (LAUGHS)
- Yeah.
I remember.
Said he was searching
for D.B. Cooper's bones.
- Who does that?
- Yeah, point is,
we don't know what the hell
they were doing out here.
We don't know why.
Thought it was gonna be an easy one.
You know. So much for having
some beers and ice fishing.
Maybe next time. Look at this, though.
These tracks are split up.
Eh? I don't like the gait
here, it's pretty random.
Both of 'em could be in bad shape.
Got a jacket.
Looks like the one
that Shelly was wearing.
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Hypothermia?
All right, we got about an hour
till the sun sets.
We got one set of tracks going this way,
the other one up this spine here.
You think something spooked 'em?
I think that's the best-case scenario.
What's this?
It's damaged. Someone took a big hit.
Not good.
No. All right, man.
You go that way.
I'll go this way.
Radio me if you hear anything.
(GRUNTING)
Shelly.
Shelly. Shelly!
You're okay now. I got you.
Who are you?
I'm Colter Shaw.
Your parents called search and rescue.
- You have to put this on, okay?
- No, I'm warm.
No, you're not warm.
You have hypothermia.
Come on, put this on.
- (GROANS)
- Here you go.
Very good.
Saw your helmet back there.
How'd you hit your head?
I, uh, I slipped and fell.
I-I hit it on a rock, I think.
- Yeah?
- Looking for a trail.
Well, you're pretty far off the trail.
Where's your sister Brianna,
do you know?
She went to go get help.
- Um, I just really want to sleep.
- No, no, no, whoa, whoa, whoa,
hey, hey, hey, you can't go
to sleep yet, okay? Listen, hey,
look at me. Look at me.
You got to stay with me, okay?
Come on. Come on.
Hey, look at me. Right now your brain's
telling you that you're warm,
but you're not.
That's a defense mechanism.
You understand?
You're gonna stay with me.
Where is my sister?
That's a good question.
(GRUNTING)
COLTER: McClaren, you copy?
(GRUNTS)
Colter, can you hear me?
I got you.
I found Shelly.
She's in pretty bad shape.
I'm not gonna be able to move her.
I just found Brianna. She's shook up,
but okay, a little hypothermic.
You call for that rescue chopper?
Yeah, about that, look
The sat phone got smashed in the rescue.
We'll have to deal with that later.
Right now we just have
to stabilize the girls.
I'm gonna see about building a fire,
maybe some shelter.
Listen, most important thing
is we stabilize these girls.
Copy that. We'll come to you.
Okay, hang in.
Okay. I'm here.
You're okay. You're gonna be all right.
We're gonna get you warm. Come on.
♪
Okay.
Okay.
This'll help. Let's keep you warm.
Okay. You're gonna be all right.
You're okay. Stay with me.
ROGER: Colter. Coming in.
Shell. Shell!
Your sister's here.
- She's in shock.
- Okay.
Took a pretty hard blow to the head.
It's okay. It's okay.
Why'd you two split up?
I thought I saw someone,
so I went to get help.
I told her to stay put.
I didn't see any other tracks.
Can you describe this person you saw?
It was a man, I think.
But he was dressed weird.
And-and he had antlers.
ROGER: Think she was just hallucinating.
All right, listen, I need you
to hike back out there.
Back where the snow machines
are, we have cell service.
Make a call. I'll
stabilize the girls here.
Shelly's in no condition to move.
- I better get a move on.
- Yeah, hey, be careful,
all right? Don't take any chances.
My sister's not doing so good.
You got to stay positive. All right?
I'm gonna get more firewood.
I'll be right back.
Just keep talking to her,
keep her engaged.

Uh
Rufus, Dash?
We got a visitor.
Halt! Who goes there?
Knock it off, Dash.
- Hey, there.
- Hey.
Thought we were the only ones
this far out.
What can we help you with?
Well, I got two girls.
One's pretty badly injured,
she's in shock.
Wow. Uh, okay.
You got a sat phone or a radio
I could use to call for help?
DASH: Come here to get off the grid.
Digital detox kind of thing.
Uh Well, listen,
it's pretty cold out there.
They're gonna need
some shelter for the evening.
Oh, we got you there. Uh,
just show us where they're at.
I'm not gonna be able
to move one of them.
She's pretty badly injured.
I noticed you had
the, uh, snowmobile.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, get the keys, dummy,
and the sled.
I'm Rufus.
- That's Dash.
- Colter Shaw.
All right, well, I appreciate
the help. Thank you, Rufus.
Yeah. We'll be a sec.
Are they gonna be okay?
- Yeah. We got 'em just in time.
- Oh, thank God.
We got a bed and there's
extra blankets over there.
- Something warm to drink?
- Uh, I have hot chocolate and there's
- some stew.
- Thanks, perfect.
- There's still someone out there.
- What?
Search and rescue guide.
Was supposed to be getting help.
It's all right.
We're gonna be okay. It's okay.
Mmm.
Food's getting cold.
My girl here makes the best
elk stew in the county.
In the state.
(CHUCKLES)
Ah.
Go on, eat up.
I'll go watch the girls
for you if you want.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Appreciate it, thank you.
- Yeah.
That's delicious.
I didn't get your name. I'm Colter.
- Amelia.
- Amelia.
- Come out here often?
- DASH: Yeah.
As often as we can.
Yeah, the place has been
in the family for years.
My grandfather built it.
It's hard to find, but
- that just makes it special.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I get that.
McLaren, you copy?
(RADIO STATIC)
Sorry.
McLaren, you copy?
I'm worried about him.
I should go look for him.
Temperature's dropping.
You'd be putting yourself at risk.
I'll be all right.
I've been in worse conditions.
You don't mind watching the girls?
- No.
- Yeah? Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, I noticed
a, uh, old snowmobile out back.
You mind if I use that?
Oh, that's been broken
for a year, we've been
stripping it for parts.
I'm sorry. I'd give you
the GTX, but it's
kind of our lifeline out here.
No, I get that. Yeah.
You need it in case the girls get worse.
All right, listen, if I'm not
back by morning, you mind using
that thing to go to a ranger
station, call for a chopper?
Yeah, course.
Thank you.
Roger.
ROGER: Colter, over here!
(GROANS)
Hey. McLaren.
Watch out! Look out!
There's a trip wire. Didn't see it.
Cut my leg real bad.

- Hey.
Tell me what happened.
Tried to stop the bleeding.
How's it look?
I've seen worse.
You did a good job with
the tourniquet. Listen,
I'm gonna need to bind this
before I move you
to stop the bleeding, all right?
I still can't move on my own, though.
There's a cabin
not too far from here,
there's people there helping
with the girls, we'll get you there.
- We'll figure it out, okay?

Bye.
Law offices of Greene and Associates.
Oh, my, my, my.
I did not know I was
calling the fancy phone.
I thought this was Velma's direct line.
What's going on, Reenie-reene?
Hey, Randy.
Uh, no, Velma is out for the morning.
She has an appointment.
But I heard that Bobby was back.
Yeah, he is.
It's Reenie. Hey, there.
Hey, Bobby. Oh, it's so good
to hear your voice.
Ooh. How are you?
Uh, taking it one day at a time.
I had to come back and fix this mess.
- Uh, okay.
- This man
got chip dust all over my keyboard.
- Gummi worms all over the place.
- What? What
No. Randy has done enough
damage to my vibe.
Your vibe? That's what
you call this place, a vibe?
You're the one that got Oh.
And you just disrespected
my gummi worms like that.
Not cool, dude.
You know I hooked this place up.
You would've gave me two more months,
I would've had you
operating at pro-level.
Hey. Hey. Could you not touch that?
Please, could you-could you
not disconnect
Don't disconnect that.
Bobb
See that, right there.
Just mean.
Sorry, Reenie.
My bad. You talk to Colter today?
No. No. He's out helping
a search and rescue buddy
look for some lost snowboarders.
He had me tracking some phones,
but no luck.
Telling you, he's off the grid.
It's his favorite thing to do.
Yeah, I know, but where
he's off the grid
is not a place he needs to be.
Go on, tell her.
Tell me what?
Place Colter is,
some folks are calling it
the deadzone wilderness.
- Okay, what's that?
- RANDY: I was on
the snowboarders' socials.
They were active on
an Internet sleuth board
about the deadzone.
Deadzone? You know, it sounds
like an urban legend.
Yeah, well, a lot of
weird stuff was found out there
by a bunch of hikers in the area.
And a lot of people have gone
missing over the years.
Case in point: just last year
this nature photographer just
goes in there, goes missing,
and we still can't find her body.
All the cases were chalked up
to "death by misadventure"
by the authorities.
Yes, but I think
that these snowboarders
the-the ones that are lost
I think they were going in there
just to figure out what happened
to this photographer.
I mean, they had this GoFundMe,
they were gonna do a documentary.
E-Everything was set up.
Now they're gone?
I don't know, man.
But these girls
they were looking for trouble
in the deadzone.
I think Colter might get
caught up in it.
Okay, have you thought that maybe
you're overreacting just a little bit?
What do you mean, overreacting?
I just haven't heard from the dude.
Okay. Well, look,
I have got to get to the records office,
but when he checks in,
I'll let you know.
Okay, bye.
Bro, what did you do to my setup?
Man, I hooked your setup up, okay?
I gave you a upgrade.
And a customization.
From your cousin.
That's a cousin customization.
That's a "cousimization."
Easy. I got you.
Come on.
(GRUNTS)
Let's get that leg up.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Where is everyone?
Shelly and Brianna are gone, too.
Their working snowmobile
with the sled is gone.
I told Dash if I wasn't back
early morning to go get help.
Uh, maybe, uh, maybe he left already,
took everyone with him?
Stove's been off for a while.
You think whoever was
shooting at us out there
he got to them?
I hope not.
Let me get this thing lit for you.
Yeah, just matches, somewhere.
Find something?
Maybe.
All right, just hang tight here.
I'm gonna check out back.
(GROANS)
♪
So, the people you met here
what were their names?
Rufus and Dash, his girlfriend Amelia.
So this cabin
it doesn't belong to them?
No. I think they killed the owners
- and took it over.
- You said they helped you.
I mean, they-they brought
the snowboarders back here,
they-they took care of you.
It do-does
- doesn't make sense.
- Mm.
The owners have been dead
for at least a couple of days.
They lied about not having a sat phone.
It could have been anything.
It could have been a, uh,
a robbery gone wrong.
Why would they help you?
To cover it up. I just showed up here.
Right? They-they don't
know who I'm with.
They don't know if I got help.
You think one of them
was out there shooting at us?
I don't think so.
Would have been hard for them
to get to your location before I did.
I think they're working with someone.
I got to get to them and find the girls.
Oof.
- Oh, the woman is at work.
- (SINGSONGY): Okay?
- (LAUGHS)
- Hey.
Hey a courier
just dropped this off for you.
Yes. Thank you.
Is that the thing that Sharf
wanted you to look into?
What is it?
You don't want to know.
Reenie, what?
Trust me. It's better this way.
(LINE RINGING)
(PHONE VIBRATES)
I was just about to call you.
Hey. Um, I think I found
what you might be looking for
on Sheldon Grimes.
Good.
You want me to FedEx it over?
No, no, I'd rather get it in person.
Let's have dinner.
I can be in Denver at 6:30.
I may need to move a few things around.
Then move them.
We got a lot to talk about.
I will see you then.
I take it Reenie delivered.
- Yeah, so far.
- Good.
I had a good feeling about her.
Your friend Elliott came through
with that recommendation.
Why don't you send him
a nice bottle of wine.
Come on, Francie.
If you want to know something,
you've got to ask.
Open book, remember?
You are so not an open book.
So, does she know?
Not yet.
But she will.

In the gear room downstairs.
I need you to keep them busy.
Can you do that?
I'll try.
Okay.

Please, just let us go.

"let's have dinner,"
I wasn't expecting Mexican takeout
from the truck down the street.

- It's good, right?
Actually, it is pretty fire.
And this office
is starting to grow on me.
Mm-mmm. No, no, no, no. You said
you wanted to replace my chairs.
Yeah, still do. But I guess
you come with bad chairs.
(CHUCKLES)
What I come with are questions.
About your relationship with Grimes.
He made you a ton of money
and now you just want to take him out?
Well, there's this.
Yeah, and I'm betting
there's a lot more than that.
But I gave you enough
to get to the point.
Should be what you need
to do what you got to do.
Doesn't excuse
what he did to those women.
Look at what we're doing here
as a little payback.
Well, then I'd like to be there
when you show him those.
(CHUCKLES) I'm not
sure that's a good idea.
And Luturna Corp.
Which you didn't mention.
- We're still in stealth mode.
- Mm.
But I figured you'd find out anyway.
And Grimes is a part of that?
(CLEARS THROAT) Look, all I can
say is that we were approached
to set up a data mining company
with a sensitive set of targets.
You mean, Grimes was approached
and then he asked you in?
Right.
He'd found this programmer
who had a novel algorithm
and no way to apply it.
But I saw the promise.
Okay, so you
and Grimes
you have differing opinions
on the trajectory of the company?
That's par for the course.
Look
removing Grimes is gonna get ugly.
Everything he touched
is gonna get looked at.
He's a potential liability.
Well, hopefully you'll make sure
it doesn't become an issue.
