All right.

Here we are.

Where are we? Hey, come over to that place I told you about.

Still want to have some fun, right?

No. No.

Not anymore.

I want to go home.

I thought you wanted to come here, though.

Come on.

Let me help you.

I got you.

Randy, talk to me. Big guy.

You on the road, Jeff?

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.

Believe?

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. Hiya.

I got you a little something for your new office.

It's a tree of wisdom.

Oh. You know I kill plants. Not that one. It's so easy. You barely even have

water it.

What does it do?

It grows and it makes you happy.

Yeah? Yeah. You can give it a name if you want.

You can talk to it. I actually like to play my music.

All right. Maybe I'll do that. Thank you so much. This is really nice. Look at

this. Thank you.

Is Colter going to take that case you were talking about? He's on the way.

You know, I just let him do his thing.

Oh. Here, let me help you.

Thank you.

You're the best.

And if you do not mind, there are two more in my trunk.

Okay, I'll be right back. Thank you. And 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 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, can I get you for just five minutes? I want to show you

this new path key security system I'm putting in. Oh, no. Can we do it later?

No. I need five minutes. Okay.

Am I in trouble?

No, no, no, no. I'm just trying to prevent digital backslide and all. What,

I been doing that?

A little bit, yeah. Come on, we'll tighten it up.

Okay, come on, let's do it.

Oh, no, that's not...

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.

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.

I called the police, but they didn't find any signs of foul play, so it's not

priority at this point.

What do you think, Kathy?

I don't know.

But somebody'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 reset?

I don't think so. She doesn't reset. She, like, never takes a break.

Serves? Yeah.

How about hospital security?

They see anything?

No, they said this part of the lot is in a blind spot, so I didn't show up on

the surveillance.

I don't know if that's true. Did they show you?

No, it's 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. A few weeks ago, she came home from a shift, and she was a mess. She

straight for a bottle of vodka and was breaking things.

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? Anything at all more recent?

She had a meeting with Dr. Hooper. I think he's the attending surgeon on her

team. I don't know what it was about, but she was nervous. And when I saw her

afterwards, it just seemed like it didn't go well.

She was really distant.

Sorry, I have to ask. 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.

I'm looking for Evie Martell.

Her sister hired me to find her. She's gone missing.

Let's step in here. Sure.

I was wondering where Evelyn was today.

Never made it home from her shift last night.

The car's still in the parking lot.

You don't seem too surprised by that. She's been having some problems lately.

Her sister mentioned you had a meeting with her recently.

I did.

About a month ago, 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.

Do you have any idea what that was about?

She wouldn't say, but her behavior had been off lately, so I checked on her

week and found her in the supply room, and she brushed me off, but when she

left, I found vials of lorazepam had been stolen.

Do you report her? No.

No, I didn't want to end her career.

I tried to handle it myself.

Okay. Did you ever do that before?

No, no.

I talked to her about it, but I got a sense that maybe she was dealing with

trauma that she didn't want to share with me.

Some recent trauma, maybe?

I'm not a shrink, so I don't want to speculate, but a lot of type A people

Evie are covering for something.

I'm trying to work away the demons.

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.

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 security footage from the hospital if I could. We

have a strip.

Privacy protocols.

We... No, I'm sure you do. I just... I'm trying to find out what happened to

her.

You have ten minutes, but that's it.

If security saw something suspicious, I'm sure they would have reported it.

Yeah. Fuck it.

Yeah.

Huh. See that?

It's not Evie.

You sure?

It's the same necklace from the photo that her sister sent me.

She ran away?

Yeah. Why would she do that? I don't know.

Look at that.

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

went. You got a time stamp on her exit?

1105. Her car's still there in the parking lot, right? So she either walked

somebody picked her up.

Could have called the cab.

Yeah. Let me see what I can find.

She's definitely running away from something. She's wearing a wig. There's

bag under her arm.

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 1115, one block over. Where

they headed?

On X.

Ooh, nice swanky bar downtown called Aquiferina.

Aquiferina. All right, head there now. Thanks, Randy.

Hey. Hi.

What can I get you? Oh, I was actually just hoping to get some information.

Bars for paying customers. That's kind of how it works. Yeah.

I figured you'd say that.

Here you go.

I was wondering, were you working here last night?

Unfortunately, I got stuck working the double because someone called in sick.

Okay. Sort of looking for someone. Wondering 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 was hired by her sister to find her. She

thinks maybe something happened to her.

Her name's Evie.

Recognize her?

Oh, yeah.

Rode with a hot mess.

A hot mess?

In what way?

She was out for a good time.

One more.

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 started talking to one of my regulars right over there.

It looked like they were sparking. Yeah?

No,

not at all.

We're going to have fun.

All right, cheers. 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 guys here to leave?

Yeah, but then Josh offered her a ride home, so problem solved.

Wow.

Yes, it is.

Oh, my God. Are you all right?

You good?

Yeah. All right, all right. Hold on. Should we call an Uber? No, I'll just

her off on my way home. Thank you. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. Thank

you. See you soon. All right, take care. Are you ready?

Except she never made it home.

Really?

That's weird.

It's weird.

This is Josh. You have a last name?

Look, I've helped you as much as I can, but this guy is a regular, and this is

crossing the line. So if you want that information, you're going to have to get

it from the police. I understand.

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.

Thanks again. You're welcome.

Okay, I got it.

Josh Graylin, 35 years old, accountant at a local firm, partner track.

You have a record?

Squeaky clean, my man.

A 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 location of his phone?

I 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.

Send me the address now.

Got it. Thanks, Randy.

All right. Yeah.

You have processes files yet?

Yeah, I just finished with the ones you brought.

Okay, and you do know there's going to be more?

I saw the inventory list, yeah.

Yeah, it's going to be a lot of work.

Speaking of that, Maxine's assistant checked in twice already. I don't think

can stall him much longer.

She wants an answer.

No doubt.

Maxine's insisting on stopping by.

But don't worry, I told him that we're busy with the Coulter 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 more of 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.

You found the car? Found the car.

Engine's cold.

There's no sign of Josh or her doctor.

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. As far as I can tell, she was one of the surgeons during the

Her supervisor said she had an incident at work.

Said 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.

She was in disguise. Maybe he didn't recognize her at all.

How in the world does that make sense?

We're on to something.

We got an empty vial of lorazepam.

You think he drugged her?

Called her.

I think maybe it's the other way around.

What?

He got caught stealing the exact same drug right after she saw Josh.

But what did that mean?

I think maybe she kidnapped him.

Please, please, 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

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 going to leave a mark on my own.

I don't understand. What do you mean Evie abducted someone?

I think she ran into this guy at her work about a month ago. It triggered

something in her.

She targeted him at this bar.

I'll 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 don't know why it would be related.

Tell me what happened.

It was horrible.

Evie was at some frat party, and 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.

No charges were filed?

No.

Evie went really internal.

She withdrew, buried herself at work, moved on.

Do you think Josh could be one of the guys who assaulted her?

You think maybe she saw him at her work and she recognized him?

So she's getting revenge?

I don't understand.

Yeah, I 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?

She's following 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 a discreet place.

Do you have any idea where that might be? Anything at all?

Our uncle's place.

I don't know. Our uncle had a hunting cabin in the woods.

He died last year. He left us his house.

It's pretty remote.

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.

You hear anything from Coulter 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's after some guy for revenge.

Aren't we all?

Shout if you need anything.

Yeah, you got it.

Okay. 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.

There you are.

Said you 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 going to make sure

that you can't hurt another woman ever again.

You took something from me and now I'm going to take something from you.

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 Picard 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.

Truth, I needed an excuse to get out of that dinner.

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?

Hmm.

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

is going to 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,

will be finding more.

Okay, I'm going to 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 going to 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, Rainey.

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'd she go?

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.

His 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 Casbrack Financial.

So, she's after this guy now for revenge?

I don't know about that. She could have killed this Joss guy, right?

But she didn't. She just got a confession from him.

And she recorded it on her cell phone. She wants the truth to finally come out.

She wants justice.

Yeah, she's going to 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.

Are you prepared?

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 can give 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.

It 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 raised me.

I was powerless.

I didn't even know you. And you, you got away.

And I...

Okay, listen to me.

You have the wrong guy.

That's what John had to do before he confessed to everything.

And now you're going to 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. A drug addict. Maybe she broke in. It started

threatening me. 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 them to your mother's. I'll call the police. Stay

they arrive.

Go.

Go.

Hello, Evie.

Nothing to be scared of, okay, sweethearts?

We're just going to grandma's for the night.

Is 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.

You regretting this yet, Evie?

You should have left this behind you.

Does anyone else know you're here?

What you think was going to happen here, Amy?

How is she?

Grade three concussion.

A few broken ribs.

At times, she'll be okay.

We have her resting now.

If it's her, the fighter, that's for sure.

Yeah, she really is.

I had no idea what Edie 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.

I gotta go, but I'll check on Edie later. You take care.

Thank you, Doctor.

I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Shaw.

Just glad I could help.

Here.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Yeah, yeah, both, actually.

Okay, so you know how it is.

Grow up in the same house, share laughs, struggles, but when they're hurting,

it's like you're hurting, too.

Only you can't make the pain go away.

You can be there for him like you were today.

And take care of each other, okay?

All right.

Hey, Colter.

Hey, Rainey. Hey, great timing. I just got off the phone with my friend from

DA's office, and 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

and 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

like that again.

There's some justice, right?

Yeah.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't condone vigilantism, but I can

why she went to such great lengths.

Me too.

Yeah, I mean, trauma, right?

It can really haunt you in ways you could never imagine.

Yeah.

There's something you want to talk about? Really?

I'm good.

You know, if you're not good, I'm here.

Talk to you whenever you need. You know that, right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I've just been busy.

You know how it is.

Yeah, I know how it is.

Listen, you, um... Have a good night, okay?

Okay. You too.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
