Last season on Tracker. Hey, Velma. You have a job for me, don't you? I thought

you liked the sound of that $20 ,000 reward.

I'm Colter Shaw.

I earn rewards that are posted by police or by citizens.

Sort of an unusual job.

Everyone's looking for something.

Sounds cool.

It is cool, actually.

Put the knife away.

No!

Yo, what's good? Hey, Bobby. I need your help.

Addresses, alias, his phone number. My name's Rainey Green. I'm representing

pathological narcissist in that cell over there. Has he talked to you at all

about his family?

No. That's a lot to unpack there. Hey, Dory. Who would have thought my big

brother would show up after a year without so much as a phone call? What

happened? Mom, Russell called. Block that number.

Ignore her.

Hey, little brother.

You really run through with it? Pulled my jerk boss off, quit my job. I feel

like I need to go home and figure some stuff out. Well, when you're done

figuring, you know where to find me. I sure do, don't I?

I let myself in.

I've been waiting for you to show up,

harass me.

Well, you know what day it is.

I should call the cops.

Breaking into my house. That's a new one.

I got tired of watching.

Yeah.

Not one.

Hell not.

What is it?

Dirt. Why would you have that?

Remediating toxins in my backyard.

You got any more questions?

Or can you get the hell out of my house?

Not until we talk about Gina Pickett.

I said get the hell out of my house. Ten years ago today, she disappears from

the Welltown Mall parking lot after her shift at Hot Topic. I ain't got nothing

to say to you or her whack job sister.

And I ain't got nothing to do with whatever happened to her.

I don't believe you.

You know what I think?

I think you messed up.

And then find out what happened to her. And you got nothing.

And so now, you harass me every year for the last ten years. And I'll do it for

another ten.

Look at this.

Back here.

I'm gonna prove it was you.

Good luck.

Not yet.

See you next year, Frank.

Hey, Coulter.

I've been trying calling you, but they go straight to voicemail.

Sorry. That's okay. I'm just checking in. I know what today is.

Making sure you haven't done anything stupid.

I don't want to talk about it.

Yeah, all right. I got it.

Well, we have a job for you.

I should say I have a job for you.

Right. Sorry, I forgot to even ask. How's Teddy?

She's going to be there for a while.

She's helping her mom get sorted.

That's her going back and forth.

I was getting in the way, you might say.

And it really wasn't good, so I came back.

Got it. Don't you worry, because I'm staying busy.

Rini has me helping her set up her new office.

You know, she's opening up her own criminal law firm.

Say hey.

Hey. I guess you didn't get the paint party invite, because we got paint and

wine. And let me tell you, they don't go together so well.

The wine was her idea.

What's the job?

Sizable reward, actually.

$35 ,000.

Yeah, but it's a weird one. Never stopped me before.

Fair. Family of four vanish outside of Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

Ted and Connie King and their two kids, Brett 9 and Amy 6.

We're more posted by Ted's brother, Craig.

Sheriff's department's already started their search.

Send me the information.

How you doing? Colter Shaw.

Craig King.

Thank you so much for doing this.

I mean, I guess.

Sorry, I don't really know how this works.

I get paid only in success.

Your brother and his family have been missing for about 12 hours?

15 hours.

When was the last time you spoke to your brother? Two days ago.

Said they were going to go on vacation.

You say where?

No. It was a spur of the moment thing.

Said he needed to get out of town.

I didn't think much of it. And the cops?

Oh, they're... Local boys used to break into bar fights.

It's really important that I do whatever I can to find my brother and his

family.

In situations like this, every second counts. I need you to be honest with me,

okay? Okay.

I think there were some people after him.

I was watching the kids at their place last week, and there was a big pickup, a

couple scary -looking guys in it. They drove around.

I think they were casing the house.

Did you ask Ted about it?

Yeah, he said it was nothing. He just blew it off.

You don't believe him?

I don't like saying this, but Ted had some gambling problems.

It started as an online thing, maxed out his cards, almost lost his business

over it.

But he owes some money to the kind of people you don't want to owe money to.

I mean, that shouldn't have been a problem anymore.

Why would that be?

Ted won the lottery.

Scratch -off tickets.

$50 ,000.

Kind of a big deal around here.

Family had their picture in the paper and everything.

I'm going to take a look at that down, okay?

Sure thing.

Thank you.

Who the hell are you?

Colter Shaw.

You are?

Okay, Colter Shaw. What are you doing in my crime scene? I was hired by the

family. Retired cop? PI?

No, I, uh, collect rewards, actually.

You collect rewards?

Ted's brother, Craig, hired me. He didn't mention that the marshals were

the case. Well, we are. This is our crime scene.

Marshall Martinez, by the way.

Marshals on a missing persons case?

Less than 48 hours?

How about none of your business? Well, I just think it's strange that a family

would up and disappear out of nowhere.

Doors left wide open like this, right? They leave their cell phones behind.

Maybe someone drove up on them, forced them off the road, took them against

their will.

Well, six months ago, a lottery winner in Florida was abducted and forced to

hand over his winnings. That made it a federal case, and we're hoping the same

thing didn't happen here.

Somebody could have driven away with him, or maybe they were marched into the

woods.

We saw that already.

That's why my partner, Boyd, is conducting a grid switch in the woods

I just want to help in any way I can. Then stay the hell out of our way.

We'll call you if we hear of any missing cats.

I

don't

know, Bobby.

Sounds like you had some debt.

Got it. So he hit it big on a scratcher and the interested party came to

collect?

Maybe. Plus interest.

Or it could have been thieves trying to jack him for the winnings.

Lotto is cursed, my man. I'm telling you.

You ain't catching me messing with it.

Let's find out who might have been after the money.

Got you, my boy.

Let me know when something hits.

Careful.

Turns out it's much easier to hike when there's a trail.

Wrong shoes for a grid search.

Don't I know it.

Jeremy Boyd, U .S. Marshals.

Colter Shaw.

I'm out here looking for the King family.

Same as you. Good.

We need all the help we can get.

That's not what your partner said.

Agent Martinez?

I met her back at the van.

Right. Well, in my experience, honey catches more flies.

Been searching the area for hours.

No sign of him. You find anything?

Not yet, no.

I feel like we're being misled here.

How so? Well, the van, for starters, the way it was left.

Might as well have a neon sign flashing telling us where to look.

There's no sign of a struggle. There's no tire marks indicating another vehicle

ran it off the road. And then, look at this here.

This path.

Which way the grass has bent?

What's that matter? Well, it's both ways, right? Like when I walk...

Grass bends forward.

Right.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I think this whole thing is a setup. The King family wasn't taken.

I think someone's after them.

So the family was leading them in the wrong direction, and then they doubled

back along the same route.

Interesting theory, Mr. Shaw.

Coulter. Right.

If I'm right, that extends the search area about 200 acres on the other side

the road.

It's best if we stay split up.

There's a lot of ground to cover.

We're not the only ones looking.

You'll see, my G.

Bobby, what do you got?

Well, for starters...

Pet King's alias popped up on online betting forums.

He was very active, but let's just say he didn't have a crystal ball.

His brother said he was in debt. He was.

I checked his DMs.

Looks like he settled his tab two days after his online winnings came in.

I had him told for not buying a jet ski or, you know, something stupid.

Family gets out of their minivan in the middle of nowhere and just vanishes.

Sign of a struggle.

Carjacking. I did find some weirdness, but I don't know where to put it. Talk

me. Well, I checked up on his family just to cross my teeth.

Connie, his wife, didn't even exist before 2015.

Talking no records, no photos, zero online history.

She just appeared out of nowhere.

Poof. That is weird.

Maybe this doesn't have anything to do with the father at all.

I mean, you're probably right.

Especially if he paid off all his debt.

Keep digging, Bobby. I'll call you back.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay. I know you're scared.

I'm here to help.

Who are your parents?

It's my fault.

What's your fault? What do you mean?

Mom and Dad told us to leave our phones in the car.

But I took my tablet.

And they found out.

They were mad.

Someone could track the tablet.

Do you know where they went?

Your parents?

Dad went to get rid of it.

When he didn't come back, Mom left too.

Told us to hide until she came back.

I told you to stay away.

I don't think all that's necessary.

Be right back, okay?

These kids have been separated from their parents.

They're scared.

Last thing they'll need is more attention. That is, if you want to get

useful information from them. I warned you, this is a federal investigation.

It would go a lot quicker if you would just let me help. You've been looking

him for, what, eight hours now?

Well, there's your result. Look at that. Okay, take it. You can have it. I don't

care. I'm just trying to help.

Okay.

But I need you to stand down. There are things about this case you don't

understand. Like why they're running.

All I want to do is get these kids back with their parents. Now, the dad took

off the kid's tablet.

Okay, we'll look into it.

What's going on here?

It's not about a lottery ticket, is it?

I need to get him somewhere safe.

Two U .S. Marshals assigned to the case.

There's no record of the mother.

Could be witness protection.

WITSEC? Coulter.

You really have a way of stepping into the biggest pile of it, don't you?

I tend to. It's possible, though, right?

I mean, it's possible, but losing track of someone in witness protection, not

the kind of thing they're going to want to brag about.

Let me see what I can find out.

It's going to be kind of tricky, but I got some tricks.

Those poor kids.

Where are they now?

Kids are safe.

Martha Martinez is taking them to their uncle's right now. And I'm on my way to

a gas station.

Probably was able to track the location of the tablet.

Look, if they are in program, fleeing WITSEC is not something you do without

good reason. Could have been their only choice.

If that's what this is, it'd be good to know why they run the program in the

first place.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Ted?

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm here to help you.

Could have used you a few minutes earlier.

What are you saying?

I don't know. What is it, Ted?

It's on my way.

I have to save her.

Ambulance is on the way.

I can't.

Your kids are safe. Your kids are okay. The marshal took them to your brother

Craig's house. No.

Ted, you gotta tell me.

What do they want with you? What is this all about?

I have to find my wife.

Where is she?

She's staying with the kids.

Had a long road to recovery, but he'll be all right. Any sign of his wife

Connie? Still in the wind.

What'd you find out?

Well, you were right about WITSEC.

Connie was in the program for nine years. Her testimony got some heavy

put away for life.

These heavy hitters have names?

Tommy Garner, the unofficial kingpin of a big Mississippi crime organization and

a couple of his good old boys. She nailed him for money laundering, drug

charges, and you guessed it, contract killing.

Reserved for former members and perceived snitches.

Well, maybe Connie let the marshals know that the Garners knew where she was and

they just didn't have time to react.

Yeah, maybe. But the guys that she put away, they were her own family.

She was married to Tommy Garner's son, Kirk, before she went into Wickvick.

Turns out she's actually quite the badass.

Kids are fine.

They're fine. I'm on your side. It's okay. I'm on your side.

Your brother -in -law, Craig, hired me to find your family and bring them to

safety. Where are my children?

They're fine. They're safe.

And they're with Craig.

My husband?

Husband's at the hospital. He's going to be fine. Now I need you to come with

me. You don't understand these people. I know them. The Garners.

That's why you're in Witzek?

I thought that part of my life was over.

I thought I was in the past, but I was wrong.

Dad won the stupid lottery.

I mean, I wasn't even thinking.

They saw your picture in the paper.

We were able to track you down.

Yeah.

And they won't ever stop until they make me pay for what I did.

You probably think I'm a terrible mother.

Leaving my kids in the woods like that.

Trying to get them safe.

I don't judge.

Of course you do. Everyone does.

My dad didn't have a choice.

I was always going to come back for them.

Sometimes doing the right thing means making the hard choice.

Tell me about the Garners.

My ex -husband's family.

When I met Kirk, I knew where he came from.

I knew what they did, who they were.

He was a different person then.

And I loved him, so I looked the other way.

Until you couldn't.

Kirk hated his father, but he was just like him, violent, planning on taking

over his organization, running things.

I couldn't take it anymore.

And so I went to the FBI, and I helped them put Kirk's father away.

And Kirk turned on me, and he wanted to kill me, and I had no choice but

to divorce him.

That's part of who we are. It doesn't have to define your future.

You really believe that?

I... I don't know.

My brother and sister keep telling me.

How's that working?

So far, it's not. But, you know, with my family, it may never happen.

Yeah.

Crook's never gonna let anything go.

He wants to make me pay.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

Rainey, I got Connie bringing her back now. Coulter, we've got a problem.

What do you mean?

U .S. Marshal Boyd was found dead in the woods.

I was just with him.

That's not possible.

Their estimating time of death was eight hours ago.

I mean, I gotta go.

Connie, show me a picture of your ex -husband Kirk.

I'm coming.

Hey there.

U .S. Marshal Boyd. Just wanted to check on you and the kids.

Come in.

So, where are the kids?

Upstairs watching something on my iPad.

I figured.

We're almost there. Thanks, Martinez.

He won't stop until he's killed my entire family. I need you to breathe,

Just breathe. This isn't going to work unless you trust me.

Can you do this? Yes or no?

Kind of greasy.

Yeah.

Square. Circle.

Square.

Five. Jump.

One bubbles, one bubbles, one bubbles.

Jump, jump.

Five, six.

Seven, eight, nine. Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy.

Hey, Brett.

You remember me?

All grown up.

He's here.

Let's go, guys. Come on. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Come on, come on, come on. Come

on, let's go.

Hurry down.

Hey! Mom!

No, no, no, no, no.

Drop the gun.

Yeah.

Now.

Okay?

Okay. Let the boy go. No one has to get hurt.

Hello, Rachel.

It's been a while.

Come back to that black truck.

In the back seat and lay down for me, please.

Angel, are you okay?

Let him go, please.

You know I can't do that.

I loved you, Rachel.

But you broke my heart.

You took my son.

He's not.

He's blood.

He's not your son.

That was over the minute I left you and your messed up family.

That ain't exactly how I remember it.

You want to kill me, go ahead. Just... Please let him go.

How about this?

Give me my son, and I won't tell him where you are.

What? I can tell him you're dead.

You can have your happy little family, no more running.

Brett will be safe with me.

I would rather die.

No.

Works for me. Easy, easy.

My family will hunt you for sport.

I said no!

Okay, hey, hey, hey, we're good, we're okay. Listen to me, listen to me, look

me. Hey, look at me.

Look at me.

I need you to trust me.

You gotta let him go.

Okay.

Let the boys say goodbye to his mother.

You've got the gun.

You're in control. You've got the power. Let the boys say goodbye, please.

No, please.

That's all I'm asking.

Please.

Please.

Just glad you're safe. It's all because of your brother.

Take care.

Nice work back there. Thanks.

I trust you're going to help them vanish?

Yeah, it's already in the works.

As long as the Gardner's got men out there, they're not going to stop looking

for her. Until we get it sorted, I'm going to stick around and coordinate

the FBI and make sure the Kings are safe. Great.

And what about you? What's next?

You know, I got a tip on a lost marmot.

Yeah. High pain. Should be a slam dunk. I'll bet.

Good luck.

Coulter, hey, if it's not a great time, we can do it later.

Just thought you said you wanted to see the office.

Yeah, sorry. Just finished me something up.

Sweet. Okay.

This here is Rainey's desk.

Just lawyering over here. Never mind me.

But I do have some good news.

The entire Garner organization is under investigation for conspiracy to kidnap a

child. Amongst a whole bunch of other charges, they're going to stack on top.

So I don't imagine that Connie will have to remain with Zach in the near future.

And the marshals agreed to stick around town, keep an eye on him until the

family's safety is ensured.

Oh, speaking of Martinez, she informed me that there was a bounty on the Garner

family. She's going to wire that over once the paperwork is sorted.

And Ted and Connie, they wanted to give you the reward money Craig had offered

you. No, no, that's not necessary.

told them that, so I suggested that they use the reward money to create a

charity in his name, which they thought was a brilliant idea.

In case you haven't noticed, Coulter, I am pretty dang good at my job, which is

why I took the liberty of transferring my 10 % fee. 10 % fee? I thought it was

an 8 % fee. New firm, new prices.

Well, do I get new services?

Don't you wish.

10%. Yeah.

Be nice.

Be shizzled.

You're going to swing by Rene's office for a visit? No.

No, but my office woman gift is in the mail. Yeah, believe it when I see it.

Thank you, Bobby.

Okay,

okay, okay.

Hey, Rene. What are you going to name the new firm?

Yeah, Law Offices of Green and Associates.

Who are the associates?

TBD. Okay, well, good luck with that.

I got to go.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Something I got to take care of.

Anything we can help with? Just say the word.

Everything okay?

It's work stuff.

I'm going to be okay.

You're going to see him?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Nothing for you?

Vodka.

Been around a few days.

Every year it's the same.

Get that.

I know you do.

How about we just... Don't talk.

For a while, I just really want to feel something that's not... You know.

Give me this.

What happened with Wales?

I just wanted him to know I'm still watching.

What'd you do?

Let myself into his house.

Had a look around.

Find anything?

A sample of his handwriting.

I thought maybe we could compare it to the letters you got.

You mean the crazies?

You never know.

There's something else.

It's weird, I found at his house.

I looked in his fridge.

It's mostly empty, but... There's a bag of dirt in the freezer.

Weird. Yeah.

He said he was having it tested for toxins.

Did you buy that? I don't know.

I know I'm missing something.

One of these days I'm going to find something that puts him in the parking

The night Gina disappeared, he was there.

I know in my gut he was there.

I don't know how much longer I can keep holding out hope.

Maybe she's gone and I'll never know.

I'm going to keep looking.

No.

I made you a promise.

I'm not gonna stop until I find out what happened to your sister
