What do you think now?

I think you're making a big mistake.

Maybe, but this is what happens

when you poke around other people's business.

Come on. Let's do this.

Elliott.

I'm so sorry. I totally lost track of time.

I see how it is.

Get a big new client, you forget about dinner

-with your boyfriend. -That's so sweet.

Thank you. Thank you.

And no, I can totally go.

I just need to get this contract done for him.

Hmm, you can't do it in the morning?

I could, but I feel like that he's testing me.

He said depending on how this goes,

he might have something transformative for me next.

-Transformative, huh? -Hey.

Hi.

I mean, we could take a little break.

You are trying to distract me, and I like it.

So is that a yes or a yes?

Just a tiny little bitty break.

Is that... Is that you or me?

-That's me. -Are you sure?

-Don't worry about it. -Oh, you should probably check that.

Come on.

Speaking of demanding new clients.

It's okay, take it.

-Go ahead. -Yeah.

Hey there, Ivy.

Wait, wait, wait, what? Are you sure?

No, no, no, no, no. Don't do anything until I get there.

I'll be on the first plane out.

Yeah, I might know someone who can help. Um...

All right, let me see what I can do.

What's wrong?

-Reenie, what's up? -Hey.

-You still on the East Coast? -Sure am.

A little camping in Virginia.

Headed north, see where the night takes me.

Any chance I could take you to New Jersey?

What do you got? I've got Elliott here.

He's got a client that could really use your help.

Give me the details.

Ivy Hale, her son Matt has gone missing.

He's 23 years old.

He works at a tech investment firm in New York City.

She said that he went out to lunch and he never came back.

Left without his car, left his cell phone on his desk.

-Hmm. How long ago? -Two days.

So Ivy's really worried something's happened to him.

And she's offering a $50,000 reward.

-Have you heard of Ivy Bakes? -Rings a bell.

I feel like I saw one last time I was in Connecticut.

-That the place? -Yeah, one of.

It's a small chain.

What kind of work are you doing for her?

She's a single mom.

She started this to make ends meet,

but business really took off, and she thought she could do it all by herself.

But she got behind on her paperwork,

and then the IRS looked at her books.

So they're going after her for tax evasion.

Anything else I should know about her?

You gotta know she's pretty intense.

You know, she speaks her mind and demands results.

-I know the type. -I'm sitting right here, Colter. Thank you.

Look, she's a mother worried sick about her son.

All right, can you talk to her, see what you think?

I'm a few hours away. I can be there first thing in the morning.

-Great. -Thank you.

Yeah, quite a few of these places.

They all look the same?

No. This one is unique. This was my first.

Except for the logos and the occasional fresh coat of paint,

I never changed a thing inside.

It's a reminder of where I came from

and what I had to do to get here.

Tell me about your son, Matt.

Best son a mother could hope for.

He graduated last year from Columbia, magna cum laude.

And he works in analytics downtown at Lambert-Fox Investments.

And when did you notice that he went missing?

Thursday.

We were supposed to have dinner, like we do every week.

That's our thing. Make a little pasta,

have a little wine, catch up on the week.

But when he didn't show up, I knew something was wrong.

And you didn't have any communication with him before or after that?

No, I called, nothing.

Next day I went to his office and his manager said

he just walked out before lunch.

Matty would never just walk out of his job.

He has my work ethic, I can assure you.

So I went to his apartment and he wasn't there,

but I am telling you, Matty would never just disappear like this

unless there was something seriously wrong.

Casey, we're having a meeting.

Could you please just bring this one back?

-Oh, I'm sorry, I just... -Go on, off you go.

Talking business.

Is this the guy that's going to find Matty?

Yeah, I'm giving him the details.

So before you go, what can you tell me about Matt?

He's a good kid. Just hoping nothing bad happened to him.

He's probably just taking a powder.

He's not taking a powder, Casey.

Sorry, I'm just trying to be positive.

I'm just saying, when I was his age--

Yeah, well, Matt's not like that.

Don't you have a delivery to make?

Sorry about Casey. He thinks he can run a business,

but he can't even make deliveries on time.

What are you going to do?

You keep him around for some reason, right?

Yeah, he's my cousin.

After his dad passed away, I gave him a job.

-Family. -Yeah. Yeah.

Well, what else can you tell me?

Is there anyone new in his life?

Ugh, don't get me started. Yes.

He's seen some woman. I don't even know her name.

Is it possible that she has something to do with his disappearance?

I don't know. We've fought about it.

I told him he could do better. He should do better.

-Why is that? -She's married.

Matty said she's getting a divorce,

but until she does, well, she is still married in my book.

Yeah.

Elliott tells me that you are really good

at finding people, that you're the best.

Is that true?

I'm very good at what I do.

Then I want you.

Matty deserves that,

and I will not take no for an answer.

Please, find my son for me.

I'll do everything I can.

It's Casey, right?

You don't seem too concerned about Matt.

I'm just staying out of it like I was told to.

Yeah.

Hey, Ivy seems like she could be a...

tough boss.

-Yeah, you could say that. -And cares about her son, though.

Precious Matty, yeah.

Look, Matty's great.

But?

All right, the truth is, Ivy and Matty got in

a huge blowout fight last week.

-What was that about? -He had enough.

Told her to back off and let him live his life.

Mmm.

What about this new girl he's seeing?

It's nothing.

He's finally getting his first action with the lady,

and Ivy's just freaking out.

You know, he was talking about some guys

from work he was buddying up with.

Talking about taking a trip somewhere.

Maybe he just decided to up and go.

You know, he leaves work, he leaves his phone behind.

I would.

She insisted that he share his location with her.

And it's been pissing him off. He can't tell her to back off.

I mean, Ivy doesn't know the meaning of that.

She treats him like he's ten years old. He's a freaking grown man.

I think this is just a "screw you" to Mommy.

Five gets you ten, he's back in a couple days.

Well, maybe.

Look, I gotta get this delivery out

or Ivy's gonna rip me a new one.

You don't mind what I said

stay between us, huh?

-No problem. -Good man.

-Can I help you? -Maybe.

Looking to talk to somebody about Matt Hale.

He's an analyst here, I believe.

-What do you want to know? -Well, he's gone missing.

His mother hired me to find him.

If I could take a look at his office, it'd really make my day.

Well, you've already made mine.

Let me guess, 6'3", perfect 42 tall, drop 8?

Six years at Nordstrom Rack. It was like the worst job ever.

I can't even imagine.

If I could just, you know, take a quick peek.

I'll give you five minutes.

Come with me.

Stay close.

-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.

So, um, what are you looking for exactly?

Not entirely sure.

Anything that would show me where he went after work.

His mother said that his cell phone

and his car keys were left here.

Yeah, I put them up front for safekeeping.

-Huh. -Mm-hmm.

Any mention of him skipping out on work

with some friends, anything like that?
