Please, you don't have to do this.

Randy.

Yo, got an interesting job for you. Buffalo, New York.

-Talk to me. -His name is Finn Helms.

Electrician.

Disappeared last night, never came home from work.

His wife's offered a $10,000 reward.

Any other details?

Yeah. She's eight months pregnant.

Okay. Buffalo, New York. Yeah, I can be there in a couple hours.

Great. I'll let her know.

Hey, Randy, um... I need a favor.

-Yeah, man, what's up? -You remember that neurologist

I was telling you about, the one my dad was working with, Walt Fleming?

Yeah, yeah. You-You met his son in Boston, right?

That's the one, yeah, yeah.

So I called Yale and Stanford,

talked to a couple of the, uh, department heads,

tried to figure out what those two were working on.

-Okay, any luck? -Not much.

They were telling me that they're working on something called

The Chronostasis Institute.

-What do they do? -I-I don't know what they do.

That's the thing. I was hoping maybe you could poke around a little bit.

-Find something out for me. -Yeah, you know it.

But, you know, we're talking analog era, patchy records and all.

Yeah, I'll just take whatever you can get.

I got you, brother.

Thanks, buddy.

Hi, Colter Shaw.

-Oh. Grace. Thank you for coming. -Yeah.

-Please come in. -Thank you.

So, your husband's been missing since last night?

Yeah. Texted that he had to work late.

-Works for the DWP? -That's right.

I tried to wait up for him, but I fell asleep.

He never came home.

Now Finn's phone keeps going to voicemail

and none of his friends have seen or heard from him.

And today was my eight-month ultrasound.

We were gonna talk birth plans with our doctor.

He never would have missed that.

He was way too excited to meet our little girl.

Look, you can see for yourself.

Sure.

Almost everything in our house is a hand-me-down or used

except for this room.

He's been putting it together for months.

He wants the best for our girl.

He doesn't even want me going back to work after she's born,

so I can be there for her.

Okay. And this is his?

-This is Finn's? -Yeah.

-Do you mind if I go through it? Okay. -No, please.

Maybe your husband cut himself while he was working up here?

No, I would've seen it.

But he's come home from work with burns and bruises before.

Okay. What's that all about?

His supervisor pushes them so hard. Finn says accidents happen.

So...

Is it possible maybe something happened at work last night?

-Would they have called you about that? -

Yeah, no, not this guy.

Okay, I'm going to start there. I just need the address of the job site.

As you can see, we don't have a lot of money.

But everything I've put together, everything I have, it's yours.

Just please bring Finn home.

I'll do everything I can for you.

Excuse me. Hi. Looking for your supervisor.

Yeah, Kelly's back by the box.

All right, thank you.

Geez!

This is what happens when you bond the wrong link!

-It's all right. -That's 7,000 volts!

You touch it, you're a human torch!

-I didn't know. -And that's what kills people.

Do better, or I'll put you back on scrap detail.

Excuse me.

-You from OSHA or the city? -Neither. I'm looking for Finn Helms.

He's missing.

His wife hired me to find him.

Said he was working last night. No one's heard from him since.

You said last night?

-Yeah. -Doyle, go get the conduit off the truck.

Something happen last night?

I wouldn't know. I haven't seen Finn in months.

Haven't seen him in months?

Two months, to be exact.

Fired him.

Well, his wife didn't mention that.

Guess we all got secrets.

Why'd you fire him?

Caught him taking materials off my job site.

He said he was borrowing it for another job.

-He was moonlighting? - I don't know.

Didn't ask, didn't care.

A thief's a thief.

Now... ...if you don't mind, I got an inspector coming in two hours.

Hope you find him.

Thank you.

-Doyle, right? -Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah.

You buddies with Finn?

I noticed you seemed concerned when I brought him up.

Yeah. Look, man, um, Kelly's already on my ass, okay?

So I don't wanna attract any more attention.

-I really need this job, okay? -Nothing like that.

No, I'm just trying to figure out what happened to him, where he might have gone.

That's all. Now, your boss said that, uh, he fired him a few months ago

for stealing for another job?

I mean, I wouldn't exactly call it stealing, but yeah,

he said he was gonna borrow some stuff.

He was gonna replace it, though.

Okay. What was that job?

He's just pulling cash gigs off PowerUp.

-Off of PowerUp? -Yeah.

What's that? What's-What's PowerUp?

PowerUp is, like, an app some of the guys around here

use just to get extra work and stuff.

Like upgrade a board, bypass a meter, stuff like that.

Why would he lie to his wife about something like that?

I don't know. Maybe 'cause not all the jobs on there are above board.

Okay, and is he still doing that kind of work?

Yeah. I mean, sometimes he kicks me cash to help out.

-Was he working last night? -Yeah.

He called me, asked if I wanted to help him on a rewire job,

but I had a date.

Yeah, okay.

Did-Did he mention where that-that job might be?

You find something on Finn?

Found his van. No sign of him.

This house job he was working on,

it looks like they were tapping into fiber,

probably stealing information.

Okay. Explains why he didn't want to call his wife.

Something went wrong here, though. Someone got electrocuted.

On the ladder, there's melted rubber.

-Can't be good. -Finn?

I don't know. There's two sets of tools here.

It's definitely not a job you'd want to do solo.

Okay, so someone else must have been there and left in a hurry, yeah?

Listen, there's a security camera on the house that I spotted.

It's pointing in this direction. Can you tap into that thing?

Okay.

All right. I'm in. Sending you the feed now.

Looks like they're carrying a body.

Really hope that's not Finn in that tarp.

I need to know where that truck's going.

I'm looking.

Okay, I got it on a traffic cam across town,

but then I lose it.

Anything in the area? A place they could hide or dump a body?

Yep. Looks like woods. Some undeveloped lots, maybe.

Great. Can you send me a pin?

Already did.

All right, I got it. Thanks, Randy.

The liability shield is a nonnegotiable, Jerry.

The clause stays.

Okay. Well, if you want to contest it, you can put it in writing.

Great. I look forward to getting it.

-Sorry to interrupt. -No, no worries. What's up?

You have a visitor.

Oh. I didn't see anything on the schedule.

Yeah, yeah, I think it's more of like a walk-in type of thing.

Um, he's cute.

Hey, come in.

Mark.

Um...

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm in town for work. I remembered you lived here.

Turns out there's only one lawyer named Reenie in Denver.

Well...

Wait, aren't you a bartender?

Close.

I'm a brand rep for a mezcal company.

We're launching a new product and Denver's one of our test markets.

I'm sorry to drop in like this.

I just wanted to see if you were free for dinner.

I am flattered, really, but I am just slammed, so...

Well, if you do need to come up for air,

I'll be at the Howland downtown. You can call or drop by.

No pressure.

I will keep that in mind.

Uh-uh. Not a word.

Hey!

What do you guys got?

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell is that?

None of your business.

I know you ain't a cop.

Why don't you crawl down in that hole and unwrap that tarp?

Don't move.

This guy don't have the balls.

Crawl down in the hole and unwrap the tarp.

Okay, now hold on. We didn't kill him.

It was an accident.

Who is he?

Some tweaker we picked up to help with the job we were working on.

-Illegally tapping lines. -That's right.

But this guy must've been high or something.
