I don't know what you're doing with that phone, Rog. You're wasting your time.
Yeah, well, sometimes a signal seeks through.
Not this deep.
Doesn't make sense.
-They were doing this far back. -Yeah.
I don't know.
And gone for over 30 hours. We're still on their tracks.
They ditched their snowboards.
It's not exactly prime backcountry
snowboarding territory.
You remember that retired smokejumper that we helped
rescue outside of Klamath a few years back?
Yeah. I remember.
Said he was searching for DB Cooper's bones.
He does that.
-Yeah. -Point is, we don't know what the hell
they were doing out here. We don't know why.
I thought it was going to be an easy one.
You know, so much for having some beers and ice fish.
Maybe next time. Look at this, though.
These tracks are split up.
Right?
I don't like the gait here. It's pretty random.
-Both of them could be in bad shape. -Yeah.
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 them?
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.
[Colter 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. -[moaning]
There you go.
Very good.
I saw your helmet back there.
-How'd you hit your head? -I slipped and fell.
-I hit it on a rock, I think. -Yeah?
Looking for a trail.
Yeah, 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 sle-- -No, no, no, hey.
You can't go to sleep yet.
look at me, look at me, you gotta 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 gotta stay with me.
Where is my sister?
That's a good question.
[Colter on radio] McLaren, you copy?
-Colter. Can you hear me? -I got you.
Found Shelly. She's in pretty bad shape.
I'm not gonna be able to move her.
I just found Brianna. She 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, the most important thing is we stabilize these girls.
Copy that. We'll come to you.
Okay, hang in.
I'm here. You're okay.
You're gonna be all right.
Gonna get you home. Come on.
[shuddering]
Okay. You're okay.
This will help keep you warm.
Okay, you're gonna be all right.
You're okay. Stay with me.
-Colter, coming in! -Shell!
-Your sister's here.
[panting]
-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 he had antlers.
-I think she was just hallucinating. -All right, listen.
I need you to hike back out here.
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. -Careful, all right?
Don't take any chances.
-My sister's not doing so good. -Gotta stay positive.
All right, I'm gonna get more firewood.
I'll be right back. Just keep talking to her.
Keep her engaged.
[♪ rock music playing from earphones]
-Hey. -Oh, uh...
Rufus, Dash? You 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?
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. Just show us where they're at.
I'm not going to be able to move one of them.
She's pretty badly injured. I know she had the snowmobile.
Yeah. Yeah, hey, get the keys, dummy.
And the sled.
-I'm Rufus, and that's Dash. -Colter Shaw.
All right, well, I appreciate the help. Thank you, Rufus.
Yeah. We'll be a sec.
[♪ theme music playing]
Are they gonna be okay?
-Yeah, we got them just in time. -Oh, thank God.
We got a bed and there's extra blankets over there.
-Something warm to drink? -I have hot chocolate and there's some stew.
Nice, perfect.
-There's still someone out there. -What?
Search and rescue guide.
Supposed to be getting help.
[Brianna] 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.
Go on. Eat up.
-I'll go watch the girls for you if you want. -Yeah?
-Yeah. -Appreciate it.
Thank you.
That's delicious.
I didn't get your name. I'm Colter.
-Amelia. -Amelia.
-Come out here often? -Yeah.
As often as I 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, I get that.
McLaren, you copy?
Right.
McLaren, you copy?
[static crackling]
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, noticed a, uh, little snowmobile out back.
-You mind if I use that? -Uh, 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,
do you mind using that thing to go to a ranger station, call for a chopper?
-Yeah, of course. -Thank you.
Roger!
Colter, over here!
[groans softly]
Hey, MacLaren.
Watch out, look out!
There's a trip wire.
I didn't see it.
It cut my leg real bad.
[Roger groans]
Hey, tell me what happened.
I'm trying to stop the bleeding.
-How's it look? -I've seen worse.
You did a good job with the tourniquet.
Listen, I'll 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?
[gunshots]
[Roger] Who the hell is shooting at us?
[gunshot]
Stay down.
Stay there.
[Roger grunting]
What are you thinking?
I'll be right back. Stay awake, all right? Stay down!
Seriously? It's an extra fee to go through his trash?
Okay, I cannot believe I'm saying this.
Yeah, do it. Bye.
Law Offices, Green 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 Greene? -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?
I'm taking it one day at a time.
I had to come back and fix this mess.
-Okay. -This man got chip dust all over my keyboard,
gummy worms all over the place.
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 the-- oh.
And you just disrespecting my gummy worms like, like, not cool, dude.
You know I hooked this place up.
You would have gave me two more months.
I would have had you operating at pro level.
Hey, hey, could you not touch that, please?
Could you, could you not disconnect?
Don't disconnect that. Bob--
[powering down]
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?
The place Colter is, some folks are calling it
the dead zone wilderness.
-Okay, what's that? -I was on the snowboarder's socials.
They were active on an internet sleuth board about the dead zone.
Dead zone? You know, it sounds like an urban legend.
Yeah, well, a lot of weird stuff is 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 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 going to do a documentary.
Everything was set up. Now they're gone?
I don't know, man. But these girls,
they were looking for trouble in the dead zone.
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 an upgrade and a customization from your cousin.
That's a cousin customization. That's a cousimization.
Easy. I got you. Come on.
Let's that leg up. All right?
Yeah.
Well, where's everyone?
Shelly and Brianna are gone too.
Their working snowmobile with the sled is gone.
I told Dash I wasn't back early morning to go get help.
Maybe he left already. Took everyone with him.
The 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.
Some matches somewhere.
[sighs]
Find something?
Maybe. Just hang tight here.
I'll check out back.
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. They brought the snowboarders back here.
They took care of you.
It doesn't make sense.
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 robbery gone wrong.
Why would they help you?
Cover it up.
I just showed up here. Right? 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've been hard for them to get to your location before I did.
I think they're working with someone.
I gotta get to them and find the girls.
-Oh, the woman is at work. -Okay.
Hey, 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]
I was just about to call you.
Hey, 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. 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 Elliot 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 gotta ask.
Open book, remember?
You are so not an open book.
So, does she know?
Not yet. But she will.
I'll make sure your plane is fueled and ready.
You fixed that old snowmobile, didn't you?
Of course I did.
All right, you should have enough firewood here
to last you till morning if I'm not back by then.
Water.
MREs in here, some pain meds in case you need more.
I gotta go look for those girls now.
-We may never see them again. -You be safe out there.
-Yeah. -Colter.
These freaks know this country.
You could be walking into a trap.
They could be expecting you.
I already thought of that.
I just hope I'm not too late.
[engine starts]
Oh.
-[grunts, screams] -Shh!
Shh, hey, I'm not gonna hurt you.
Don't scream. I just wanna talk, okay?
-Okay? -Mm-hmm.
Okay. I'm not gonna hurt you.
Where are Brianna and Shelly?
They're fine.
-They're being taken care of. -What the hell does that mean?
It means Rufus and Dash are taking care of them.
-You should go while you can. -I'm not leaving without the girls.
Now tell me, what are Rufus and Dash doing with them?
It's not for me to say.
They'll know I've been bad, and then we'll all have to pay.
Listen to me. Whatever's going on here,
whatever this is, you can help me stop it.
I know what you really want.
Go on.
Hurt me.
Do whatever you want.
I won't tell them, I promise.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
It's okay.
They'll do worse when they find out I've been talking to you.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Who did this to you? What are these?
These are reminders of what'll happen if I try to leave them.
They took you.
They did things to me.
How long have they had you here?
Eight, nine years.
Father Ammon killed my dad and took me.
I fought back, begged.
And for some reason, they let me live.
But I'm one of the lucky ones.
The girl who lived.
And now I'm part of them.
And they trust me.
I wanna keep it that way, so please, just go.
I don't want anything bad to happen.
I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to you.
Just tell me what Rufus and Dash are doing with the girls.
It's Father Ammon you need to worry about.
They brought the girls to him.
As a present.
What's Father Ammon gonna do to them?
Whatever he wants.
Games.
Things you don't ever want to happen.
-[both gasp] -[laughs]
You will rue the day, son.
Your momma taught you better than that.
Sorry, Father.
-[grunts] -Guests eat first.
Apologize, Rufus.
Sorry.
-Okay. -Ah.
Please.
-We didn't mean to come here. -Yeah, but you did.
It's funny, isn't it? How the land provides what we need.
Now, please, I need to get back to them
-or they're gonna... -I'm not gonna let anybody punish you.
Let me help you. Hey, let me help you.
I've done bad things.
You did...
You did what you had to do to survive.
You don't understand.
If I behave, they don't hurt me.
They're never gonna hurt you again.
I'm gonna get you the hell out of here.
I need you to trust me.
Okay?
Can you trust me?
Okay.
Is there a sat phone or a radio on the property?
-In the gear room downstairs. -I need you to keep them busy.
-Can you do that? -I'll try.
Okay.
-[grunts] -Please, just let us go. [whimpers]
People will be looking for us.
No help is coming.
Not out here, not in winter.
'Cause that's when the gods come up from the earth
to watch us play on the post and drink from the cup!
[all laughing]
-Oh! -[all laughing]
Eat up, girls.
You're gonna need your strength if you're gonna play for the gods.
Eat!
[both whimpering]
-Ta-da. -Thank you.
You're welcome.
You know, when you said, let's have dinner,
I wasn't expecting Mexican takeout from the truck down the street.
I like what I like. It's good, right?
Actually, it is pretty fire.
And this office is starting to grow on me.
Mm-mm. No, no, no, no.
You said you wanted to replace my chairs.
Yeah, I still do.
But I guess you come with bad chairs.
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 gotta 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.
I'm not sure that's a good idea.
And Luturna Corp...
that you didn't mention.
We're still in stealth mode.
I figured you'd find out anyway.
And Grimes is a part of that?
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.
It'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.
Hey, where were you?
Rats got into the pantry.
You set traps?
Just like you showed me. Peanut butter and blood.
Maybe I should check.
-Make sure you did it right. -Please.
I'm just trying to be helpful.
-Two of you leave her be. -Something's off about her.
Sit down, boys.
Sit down, both of you.
That there is a true and loyal girl.
I can count on her more than I can you two.
Come here.
Give father a kiss.
Oh.
Later...
I'm gonna have you show our guests how we do lesser things.
As you please.
[whispers] We need to get out of here.
Leave her be, Dash.
I was just going to get the cup and the horn.
No, not yet.
-We need us some music. -Mmm-hmm.
Rufus,
put on my song.
Dash?
Get the mercy seat.

Not exactly, but I did trace the location of the signal.
-I double checked it. -Yes, he did.
And it came from a radio not too far from where he went off the grid.
Did you contact emergency responders?
Yeah, but they can't send a chopper until they have more information.
