Previously on Tracker...

I was supposed
to pick up my daughter, Hailey.

Now I can't get a hold of her
or my ex.

Lisa.

What is it?

Lisa.

You have to save my daughter.

Encryption, rerouted servers,
ghost loops.

Nothing I've ever seen before,

but I did find the last
phone call that she answered

on her personal phone.

A guy named Raymond Ockman.

So this is
the guy that took Hailey?

I didn't have a choice.
They're gonna kill my sister.

I just heard from my friend at
the Denver Sheriff's department.

Harriet Ockman's body
was found an hour ago.

-Yeah, what does that mean, Colter?
-Nothing good.

Come on, Colter. Look,
Hailey's good. The job was done.

-Is Mom okay?
-She's at the hospital.

Hey.

"You have interrupted
the Process..."

"...and there will
be consequences."

Good night, Nicky.

Good night, Hoppy. Sleep tight.

This can't be happening again.

We have Nicky back.

We did everything
we were supposed to.

They sent a text.

It said, "Welcome back
to the Process.

Your successor has failed."

What did you have to do?

I had to handle Ockman's sister.

Oh.

We can't do this anymore.
We have to call the police.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey. I killed someone,
you understand?

You know what happens to people
who try to go to the police.

-We'll run away.
-They will find us...

...and they will kill Nicky.

-Do you want to risk that?
-No.

Then we have no choice.
The only way out is through.

All right, Reenie.
Keep me posted.

Reenie's at the jail right now.

She's talking to Ockman, seeing if she can
get any more information on the Process.

-The guy was terrified when we found him.
-So was Lisa.

Random instructions via text

was threatening enough for them
to be willing to risk their own lives.

What about the, uh...
the messages that we got?

What did the police say
about that?

Yeah, they say that Ockman

is a high school
Computer Science teacher

capable of setting up
the whole thing.

I don't know,
something doesn't seem right.

Yeah.

-Randy.
-Ah. What's up, man?

You must be Russell?
The legend is real.

You must be Randy?
Legend is also real.

Oh, well, thank you.
I'ma get us some T-shirts.

Can I start you off
with something?

Oh, yeah. Hey, um, can I please
get exactly what he ordered

plus an extra side of bacon?

And biscuits, and gravy.

And a cinnamon roll.

You think you ordered
enough food?

I'm stress eating, man.

All this work I'm doing for you.

-What you got?
-Finally traced the sender.

Those messages you got,

the number was spoofed
using call hopping,

meaning that it bounced from the
original source to dozens of locations

before it even got to you two.

It took a lot of grinding to
go backwards, but once I got

to number 105,
guess who it belongs to?

Raymond Ockman
at his home address.

So he sent the messages?

No. I think it's a mislead

just in case someone like me
did a deep dive.

They want us to think
that Ockman's the source.

Because here's the thing,
the encryption from the sender

to Lisa's burner phone
is like ultra sophisticated.

So either Ockman
is a computer genius,

and I'm not saying
a high school teacher can't be,

or we got something completely
different on our hands.

So the Process is real?

We gotta find out who's behind
this game. Put an end to it.

-You wanna be my lawyer?
-Yes.

Raymond, do you understand what
you're being charged with here?

The kidnapping of Hailey Rodgers

and the murder of Kurt Foster,

as well as your own sister?

I would never kill
my own sister.

I was trying to save her.

And I could've if those
two guys hadn't interfered.

Okay, okay. I believe you.

So who would do this to you, huh?

It's the Process.

I already explained it
to the detectives.

I had to follow instructions.
I am a victim here.

And why would
the Process target you?

I don't know. But they seem
to know everything about me.

All right, let's do this.

Raymond, I need you to tell me
everything you know

about this Process, okay?

From the very beginning,
no detail is too small.

So, when was the first time
they contacted you?

Um...

I was, uh, coming home
from a school swim meet.

I think that was probably
the first time.

Yeah, swim meet. Go ahead.

Do you know him?

Who? The guard? No.

Yes, you do. You just
signaled him. I saw you.

Raymond,
I was just being polite.

Oh, my God.
You're one of them, aren't you?

One of who?

The people running the Process.
I should have known.

Coming here offering to be my
attorney. They wouldn't let me go.

-Raymond.
-It's never that simple!

-Guard.
-Raymond.

I'm done here,
you can take me back.

Raymond, wait, no.
I can help you.

Raymond.

It's a little strange.
Here, look at this.

It's the only phone ping without
an address, just coordinates.

-Mm-hmm. I noticed that too.
-Odd, right?

So I already looked it up.
There's nothing there.

-Just an empty patch of land.
-Could be worth checking out. Where is it?

-Two hours west in Eagle County.
-Mmm.

Reenie, what you got?

Well, Ockman got spooked.

Everything was going fine
until he thought

that I was part of the Process
and he freaked out.

Well, they killed his sister. Maybe
he thought they'd do the same to him.

Yeah, I mean, he did say that
they would never let him go.

She figure out how the Process
got our phone numbers?

No, unfortunately.

Hold on a second.

I just got a text from Cal.

Lisa's awake at the hospital.
Hailey's with her.

Okay, that's great news.

Yeah, I'm gonna
head over there now,

see if I can find out how
she got tangled up in all this.

All right, bye.

I'm gonna go check out these
coordinates. See what we see.

I'ma stay right here. Sit here,
and let my food digest.

Sounds like a plan.

Hey, uh, you think Reenie would
be down to drive me out there?

Do I think Reenie wants to be
your chauffeur? Probably not.

-No? I'll ask her anyway.
-Okay.

Oh, good plan.

I love you, Hailey.

I love you too, Mom.

See you later.

I don't know how to thank you
for finding her.

Maybe you could tell me

how you got caught up
in all this.

Lisa, I know this isn't easy.

I'm just trying
to get some information,

so I can figure out
what the hell's going on.

This nightmare started
when I got that call.

Hello?

I have your daughter Hailey.

What?

I'm only doing this
because they have my sister.

You'll be getting
a text message soon

with the instructions
you have to follow

if you want to save Hailey.

Who is this?

I'm a victim, just like you.

If you follow the instructions,
they'll let my sister go.

You're part of the Process now.

Hailey!

Hailey!

Hailey! Hailey!

Where are you? Hailey!

Oh, God.

Oh, God!

I found Kurt dead.

Oh, God. Hailey!

At first, I thought it was someone
shady from his world who did this,

but now I know.

Hailey!

I realized he was just
trying to stop that man

from taking Hailey.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

I needed money fast.

They warned me
about being tracked.

I couldn't use
my ATM or bank cards.

I knew Kurt
had cash in his safe.

A biometric safe.

That's why you cut off his hand.

I am a surgeon.

I was desperate.

So I went to his apartment and I
took the cash and gun from his safe,

bought a burner phone and
texted the number I was told to.

That's when the instructions
really started.

I had to steal a car,

go to a money transfer place
and wire $10,000 to an account,

and pick up an envelope
with a key to an office.

I was supposed to find
Suite 109,

pick up a briefcase,
and deliver it to a location.

Lisa. Lisa.

Then you showed up,
and I never made it inside.

Do you have any idea why
you might have been targeted?

They knew stuff about me.

Things I had done
that I'm not proud of.

After Cal divorced me,
I was in a bad place.

Then I met Kurt and I wanted
things to work out,

so maybe I had blinders on.

I knew he was running a scam,

and I helped him
get my coworkers

and family
to invest money with him.

And they knew
you wouldn't go to the police

because you didn't want
to get caught for what you did.

I wanted to save Hailey.

I felt like it was my fault that she was
taken because I was being punished.

I already felt so guilty,

I couldn't disobey
the instructions

and let her die because of me.

You must think
I'm a terrible mother.

I don't think that.

I don't judge.

I'm scared
this isn't over yet for me.

Have they contacted you again?

No, but I think they must
have people everywhere.

Watching and waiting.

Are we good?

This is for you.

-I thought I was done.
-No, we're never done.

I thought I was finished
seven years ago. I was wrong.

-How many people are involved in this?
-I don't know.

Don't ask any questions.

Just know
you can always be called on

to handle interruptions
and loose ends.

Just do what they ask you to do.

You know what happens
if you don't.

Oh, this is nice, right?

You, me, just the open road.

See, aren't you glad
I convinced you to come along?

I...

I'm not sure how you can be so
relaxed given the circumstances.

I don't know, I'm just
kind of one of those guys,

you know,
good at compartmentalization.

You know, my, uh... my worried
part of my brain does not mix

with the part
that has a good time.

Yeah, maybe I don't
have that set of skills.

Yeah, but you got skills.

-Mmm?
-O-Okay.

I mean, y-you know, you...

um...

Like you're resilient, right?

Colter kind of told me a little
bit about what happened to you.

-Did he?
-Yeah.

And what about you?
You said you're between gigs?

Oh, um...

Yeah, yes, I am.

-So, you got a plan?
-Mmm?

I don't know.

It usually just kind of hits me.

You know, like, maybe I'll get
some land out in Arizona.

Start up a tactical gun range.
I like the dry heat.

What about you?

What about me?
I definitely have a plan.

Does it involve that,
uh, lawyer friend of yours?

If you must know, Elliott and I
ended things last week.

-Oh, no.
-Oh.

Are you okay?

Yeah, it was sort of mutual
I guess.

Just processing everything
we went through.

Listen, if you ever want to talk
about, like, for real, like, I'm here.

-I appreciate that.
-Mm-hmm.

It was, you know, pretty scary.

There was this moment
where I thought

that it was the end, you know?

I mean, he could have died.

Yeah, but he didn't.

He didn't, and you made it
through to the other side,

and that's what matters.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Well,

if you want to talk about it,

I'm always ready to yak.

'Cause I know my brother.
It's like talking to a drywall.

But I got you.

Okay.

Hey. Let's hit the next,
uh, gas station we see.

-I need to hit the men's room.
-What? We just got on the road.

Well, I don't know what to tell you.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Okay.

Randy, what's up?

Yo. You at the location Lisa
was supposed to be at?

The suite 109?

Walking there now.

Yeah, well, I hacked into
the building's tenant list

and found out who's renting it,

this guy by the name of Jed Hoo.

He prepaid for six months out,

but this guy's phone number's
disconnected,

and his home address
does not exist.

I don't think the guy is real.

Colt? You there?

I'm at the door now.

See anything?

I don't think anyone's using
this space.

What about the briefcase?
You find that?

Not yet.

Got it.

She's locked.

There are photos.

Of what?

Ockman and a high-school boy.

-Like, one of his students?
-Yeah, it could be.

It's definitely
an inappropriate relationship.

Not the kind of photos Ockman
would want out in the open.

So this is what they're doing.

They had leverage against Lisa

and this is the leverage
they have against Ockman.

Hey, Randy, did you get the
picture of that briefcase I sent you?

Yeah, man,
but don't expect no miracles.

I found the manufacturer,

but the serial number
is pretty much obliterated.

All right.

Do me another favor, will you?

Check the tenant list.

See who else
is on the first floor.

Checking.

Yeah, it's mostly empty.

There's a dried fruit exporter
and a dance wear company.

All right. Thanks, Randy.

Okay.
Thanks for letting me know.

What? What is it?

Raymond Ockman is dead.

-He was found hanging in his jail cell.
-He killed himself?

That's what they're saying,
but when I met with him,

he was scared, okay?
Not suicidal.

Okay, well, if the
Process got to him there,

then it has serious reach.

I mean, he was paranoid that one
of the guards was part of the Process.

Maybe he was right.

I'm gonna have the cops
send someone over

to check on Lisa and Hailey.

Yeah.

You good?

I thought I saw someone
following us earlier.

Wait, are you for real?

I don't see anybody, so either
they gave up or it was nothing.

But just to be safe,
I think I should drive.

Nothing against your skills,
you're great, but, uh...

just make me feel better, okay?

Yeah. Yeah, all right,
fine. Um, just...

I've had this car
like three months, okay?

So don't
do anything "Russell-y."

-Yes, ma'am.
-Thank you.

Ever tell you about
that one time I spent a year

pretending to be a bartender
at an Irish pub in Moscow

just to get some intel?

You did not.

Oh, yeah, it was, uh...

Uh, story's gonna have to wait.
We got our tail back.

What, the blue sedan?

Yeah. Listen,
I'm trained for this, okay?

Ah. I told you
not to do anything "Russell-y."

Hang on.

Wait, what are you doing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-You good?
-Yeah, I'm fine.

Don't move or I will shoot!

Hey! Rise and shine.

Where am I?

I wouldn't worry about that.

Are you gonna kill me?

That depends on the answers
you give me.

I can't help you.

I think you can.

What does the Process want
with me and my brother?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

You think I won't use this?

You're gonna tell me the truth.
You understand me?

I got Randy running
this guy's license.

-What is this place?
-It's a safe house. I got resources.

-Ah.
-How's Reenie doing?

She's okay.

She's trying to get more
information about Ockman's death.

Also got police running
full detail on Lisa and Hailey.

If the Process finds out that Lisa's
talking, they could be in danger.

Good thinking.

Guy's in bad shape.
Did you do any of that to him?

-No. No, it's from the car accident.
-Mmm.

Get anything out of him?

Not yet.
I'm just getting started.

Uh-oh.

Oh, now you're in trouble,
'cause the enforcer is here.

'Cause I'm the nice one, so...

We know you work
for the Process.

I don't.

You have to give me that.

"Have you handled Russell Shaw?"

What if we say no?

You can't, or they're gonna
take my son again.

I don't work for the Process,

but they make me do things,
and I can't get out.

-They targeted you?
-Yes.

They took Nicky, my son.

But we got him back,
then I thought we were done.

We tapped the next person,
but he f... he failed.

That next person,
was that Raymond Ockman?

So, what, then the Process
comes back to you?

Yes.

You can be called upon
at any time

to handle interruptions.

And anything that stops the
Process from moving forward.

Like me and my brother.

All right, tell us
who's running this damn thing?

I have no idea.

I was told by the person before
me that the Process's been

going on a long time.

At least ten years.

What do you wanna do?

I think we're gonna
have to kill you.

This is from the hallway
outside Ockman's cell.

He used the bed sheet
as a noose to hang himself.

Wait. Hold on. Look.

Ockman only leaves frame
for a few seconds.

That's not enough time
for what happened.

There was a guard posted in the
visitation room when I was here before.

Okay, Ockman was
very afraid of him.

Please, I'd like to talk to him.

He worked the morning shift.

He was a part-time temp

filling in for
a staffing shortage.

I need a name and address.

We don't give out confidential
employee information.

You will if you don't want to
be slapped with a civil suit

for wrongful death.

Up to you.

All right, I got it.
That'll buy us a couple hours.

So, uh, who's supposed
to handle my brother here?

I don't know.

It could be anybody who's ever
been involved in the Process.

You can't trust anybody.

Oh, well, we're gonna stop it.

You can't.
They will figure it out

and then my son's in danger.

Please.

It's his birthday today.

Call him.

Call your son.
It's his birthday.

Hey, buddy, it's Daddy.
Happy birthday.

Yeah, I know, I know I promised
I'd be there, but,

hey, I'll be back soon, okay?

Why don't you save me
a piece of cake?

Okay. Daddy loves you.

Thank you.

They know, uh...

They know I'd do anything
for Nicky.

What does the Process
have on you?

That's how this... this whole
thing works, right? Leverage?

Yeah, I stole money
from my former employer.

Here we go.

What does it say?

It says,
"The Process may resume.

You have three hours to arrive."

What does that mean?
What does that mean?

There's a new target.

On the last link, Ockman failed,

so the Process returned to me,

and now I have to contact
the next target.

And if I don't show up,

they'll kill my son.

Yeah, Ockman didn't
kill himself.

I just came from the jail.

-You see the surveillance video?
-Yeah, I'm pretty sure

it was doctored.
But we've got a problem.

We have a jail warden who is
not motivated to investigate.

Basically shut me down

because I'm not technically
Ockman's attorney,

and I don't have
any jurisdiction there, so...

Uh, hold on, Randy wants
to talk to you.

Yo, Colt. I analyzed the
briefcase photos that you sent.

-You tracked the serial number?
-Yeah, I got what you want.

And I got some shipment
information on this model.

Good job.

No, Colter, you're supposed
to say "great job," okay?

'Cause it turns out that they
didn't sell a ton of these models.

But a bunch was sold
to a Dr. Susannah Tate.

At Southeast Colorado
University back in '02.

You have contact information
on her?

Yeah, she's retired now.
She lives outside of Denver.

I just sent you the address.

-And... Oh, yeah. You're welcome.
-Thank you.

Uh, hey, Colter. Tell Russell
that I am still mad at him

and I would like
my car back, please.

Right. Uh, about that,

he's gonna need your car
for a little bit longer.

-Wait, why?
-Why...

Think it's best you don't know.

Yes. This...

This looks like one of mine.

I used to give them as welcome
gifts to my grad students.

It used to make them
feel important

to carry their papers
in a briefcase.

-Like their work was valuable.
-Exactly. Felt top secret.

So much of our thinking can be
modified by little things.

You did a lot of research
on behavioral modification

under duress, right?

-Yes.
-Yeah.

Pretty far out there stuff.

It was, but I-I-I'm retired now.

What was it that you were
hoping I could help you with?

What can you tell me
about the Process?

How do you know about that?

It's happening right now.

-That's impossible.
-Three people have already died.

So please,
tell me what you know.

I... It was an experiment
in a class I was teaching

about leverage and obedience.

Volunteers were either
subjects of blackmail

or the blackmailers themselves

who made their victims
follow strict rules.

It was short-lived.

So you ended the experiment?

Why's that?

One of the subjects ended up
seriously hurting her roommate.

It became too dangerous,
not just for the subjects.

Several of the grad students
that were on the project,

they just...

they started to exhibit
out-of-bounds behavior.

What kind of behavior?

Power intoxication, increased
capacity for... for cruelty.

So, I did the responsible thing
and I ended it.

I buried the research and I...

I moved on
to new areas of study.

You think it's possible that
one of your old grad students

continued your research
out in the real world?

I hope not.

I-I did have three students
in particular

who-who strongly objected

to my shutting down the project.

And what were their names?

I've always remembered them
because they were so insistent.

Don Schneider, Gillian Meeks
and Phillip Jost.

Schneider,
in particular, worried me.

My study
exposed something in him.

A kind of enforcing sadism.

He took pleasure
in the rules of the Process,

and he... and he felt like the
subjects deserved punishment.

The-The experiment ended.
He continued to reach out to me.

I blocked him. I told him
to move on with his life.

But I... I think I created
a monster.

-You're afraid of this guy.
-Yes.

Do you have any idea
where this guy might be now?

I-I don't. I don't know.

I lost touch with all of them.

I-I heard Gillian Meeks
is in London.

But the other two, they...

they could still be in the area.

It's strange.
They didn't come after me.

They created a system where
if someone stepped out of line,

they would either
blackmail them or kill them.

You had no way of knowing
this was going on.

-But I feel responsible.
-They took your idea and they twisted it.

-How long has this been going on?
-A long time.

Too long.

The important thing is
we put an end to it

before anybody else gets hurt.

All right, well,
we're here. Now what?

We wait.

Oh.

Hey, um... I don't
think I can do this again.

We have to.

There we go.

Oh, God. It's...

Don't scream. I'm actually here

to save your life, but you
need to follow my instructions

-very carefully, do you understand?
-Yes.

Okay, let's go.

Russell, you all right?

Hey, yeah. So far so good.

Process doesn't know
we're playing 'em.

They give Harith new targets?

Yeah, yeah.
It's a young couple, newlyweds.

We pretended to kidnap the wife, then
the husband gets his first text message

from The Process
on a burner phone.

Let me guess. Tell no one,
deposit some funds into an account.

Yeah, yeah. We're trying
to slow play it here,

so he's gonna make a transfer
in a little bit, buy us some time.

I think I might've found out
who's behind this.

Some former
psychology grad students

gone off the grid.

Get the sender's number.
Give it to Randy.

Oh, I already did that.

Yeah. That's why I was calling.

So he backtracked
the spoofed number.

One of the pings came from
the coordinates in Eagle County

where Reenie and I
were to go visit.

That can't be random.

Right?

Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
All right, I'll meet you there.

Coordinates are about a mile
up that way.

I figure it's better
we walk from here.

So we're looking for...

Got it.

So much for nothing
being out here.

Yeah.

Son of a bitch.

-Hell was that? I got it.
-I got him.

-Yeah.
-Yep.

Hey! Stop!

I will not miss next time,
I promise.

Nice to see a dead man.

I'm not armed.

-You the one in charge?
-No.

-Who is?
-Schneider.

Gimme the keys.

Come on.

Don't move, it's over.

Are you going to shoot me?

'Cause that won't stop the
Process, it doesn't need me.

Can I show you something?

What would you be willing to do

to save your mother
and your sister?

Answer the question.

And which one
would you save first?

I'm not here to play your game.

Oh.

You're afraid
of the choices you would make.

Why did you do this?

I know you had your victims
wire you money

but this isn't
just about you getting rich.

There's more to it, right?

Dr. Tate says you're an
enforcing sadist so, this is, uh...

This is pleasurable to you.

Dr. Tate?

That failed academic? Wha...

Aren't you curious
how it all works?

We created an algorithm

to select targets automatically.

It's self-sustaining.

There's nothing you can do
to stop it.

You're proud of this.

You want to be admired.

That's why you were
sending me those texts.

Right, you wanted me
to find you.

Come in here and see you.

Your power.

Your superiority.

You've been anonymous too long.

Even you can't beat
the algorithm, Colter.

It chooses flawed individuals

who would rather
not go to the police.

How well do you know
your family?

What are the chances that
someone has a secret to hide?

Hey.

-You all right?
-All right.

I got what I needed from him.

Was he trying to use
Dory and Mom for leverage?

Tried. Didn't work.

All right. You ready to do
some damage?

Shut down the Process?

Let's do it.

So, Don Schneider's been taken
into custody.

He's not talking,
no surprise there.

But the FBI is doing forensic
analysis on the servers.

-Good we didn't trash everything.
-Yeah.

And their IT specialists
have confirmed

that you did stop the Process.

Lisa's very grateful to you.

How's Harith Holmes?

He's ready to answer
for what he's done

but he's glad his son is safe.

-So, this whole thing's really over.
-Hopefully.

I mean, the Feds are trying to track down
this third grad student, Gillian Meeks.

You know, just to be sure.

-They haven't found her yet?
-I bet it's only a matter of time.

But anyway, I've got to run.

I've got a lunch with a client. I'll
send you the bill for my car repairs.

Hey, call me. Anytime.
I mean any...

Then forget her name ♪

We're gonna have to talk about
Echo Ridge and Mom at some point.

♪ ...for midday coffee ♪

Yeah.

Well, I'm not ready to talk to
her if that's what you're asking.

Well, I just need to know what
to tell her when she asks me.

Tell her, you know,
that I need more time.

♪ Find me a place
To rest my mind ♪

Okay. Yeah, I mean,
take as much time as you need.

It's just, you know,
family stuff.

The kind of stuff I like to sweep
under the rug and forget about,

but that's not your jam.

-That's fine.
-No, it's not.

Oh. The, uh... The phone number
that you found in Dad's journal.

You want,
I can look into that for you.

-You'd do that for me?
-Sure.

I don't have a hell of a lot
on my docket right now.

What is next for you anyway?

I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe I'd like to be
my own boss.

You know,
maybe something adventurous.

Help people who need help.
That kind of thing.

Any tips?

I'm all ears.

You're asking for my advice?

Yeah, seems like you got
a good thing going here.

Yeah, it's not bad.

I mean, the Airstream's
a little weird but you know,

you're doing all right.

The Airstream's cool, man.
It's not weird, it's cool.

I guess I just want
to do something...

Use my skills for good.

Like the greater good.

I don't know.

Oh, hey, uh...

Did you ever find out
who painted your nails?

-What?
-Who painted your nails?

The, uh... The monkey, Jakarta?

You know what? That's a story
better told over a beer.

Or several beers
and you'd be buying.

I know a spot.

-Yeah? And steak.
-They got those.

-I'm in.
-Sounds like a plan.
