"WILDERNESS RUN"

In dire need of a vacation, Westlake joins with her girlhood pal Elise Gray Hawk to lead a nature retreat for high-powered businesswoman Iris Benteen and her assistant Julie Stone. The vacation turns deadly when the trio group is kidnapped by Drucker and Hanley, two thugs who want millions to return Iris safe and sound.

When the two men, Drucker and Hanley, order Iris to transfer five million dollars from her corporation's accounts, Julie recognizes Hanley as a janitor at Benteen Enterprises. The group soon runs into some campers, and Westlake discreetly drops her medic alert bracelet. When Cole checks Westlake's voice mail and finds a message that the campers are leaving her bracelet with the rangers accompanying her, he and Frankie quickly drive to Camp Sasamat. Meanwhile, Westlake, Iris, and Julie are held captive in a deserted cabin.

When Iris reveals that she didn't really call her financial officer, Drucker and Hanley take Julie outside and kill her. Realizing that she is responsible for Julie's death, Iris finally calls for the money delivery. Meanwhile, Cole and Frankie arrive and begin following one of the camp's trails. Back at the cabin, Westlake and Iris manage to escape.

The two women are making progress in the woods when Iris stumbles. Drucker springs on them, but Iris is able to run away. Still hiking the trail, Cole and Frankie come across Elise. When she tells Cole who is with Westlake, he calls Iris's company and learns about the money transfer. Meanwhile, just as Westlake knocks out Drucker and gets Hanley at gun-point, the supposedly-dead Julie appears with a gun and a hostage -- Iris.

The courier with the money soon arrives -- it's Frankie. Hanley leads Westlake and Iris onto a bridge, makes the exchange, then suddenly drives away without his partners. Just then, Cole sees dynamite attached to the bridge, and using the Defender's static pulse missile, disables it. When the dynamite doesn't explode, Julie assumes that Drucker double-crossed her just like Hanley, and she shoots him. Meanwhile, Cole overtakes Hanley and Westlake gets the duplicitous Julie into custody where Iris, completing the moment, fires her.
