Previously on Tracker. The man you saw
on the cliff the night Dad died, his

name's Otto.

Mom's the one that sent him up there.

He threw Dad over the cliff.

You think Mom was having an affair with
this Otto guy?

I think she trusted him enough to ask
him for help. You know what that mouth

Otto told me? He said that there were
people from the government that were

harassing our family. I also found a
phone number hidden in the spine of one

his journals. Had my guy look into it.
Belonged to a scientist.

What was his connection to Dad? I don't
know. Well, maybe I could shake

something loose.

I thought you were saying leave it be.

Well, you're not going to, are you?

Yeah, there's no service.

Oh no, Jay, how are you going to
survive?

Come on.

I think we should head back soon.

I think we should do the opposite of
that.

What? What's wrong?

Is it almost empty?

No. No, I'm good. Let me see it. Mom and
Dad told me to watch out for you.

Jay, stop. Let me look. Let me see it.
Jay, I said I'm good.

Look, the sun's going to set soon. Plus,
we still have to get back to the car.

And I'm hungry.

Well, I got a peanut butter punch and a
toquito.

So, I think we're good.

I'll take a protein bar and I can keep
going.

Yeah, one more hour, please.

I don't know.

Come on, Jay.

You promised one last adventure.

But how cool would it be if we found
something?

That would be cool.

Please.

I say we head back.

I'm with Jaden.

Fine, sit yourself.

Charlie, you coming?

Charlie.

Mom and dad are going to kill us, Sarah.

Randy, did you get that stuff I sent
over?

Uh, yeah.

Got some stuff from your brother,
Russell.

Bunch of records.

It looks like some kind of way of
redacted stuff.

I'm not going to ask him where he got
it, but I guess I'm here to help.

Take a look, see if there's anything
there. All right.

Hey, is this about that name that you
had me run?

The number that you found in your dad's
box? From David Pearson?

Yeah, that's right.

Okay.

You don't think it'd be nice to tell me
more about it?

I don't know. I think it's about to be
coming cold.

All right.

We got it.

I'll do a deep dive. Maybe we'll find
something.

Or maybe we just run into another
mystery.

Yeah, well, a lot of that when it comes
to my family.

Yeah, I'm starting to see that.

Oh, and before you say anything, don't
worry. I'm keeping it all to myself.

Appreciate it. You got it, man.

So, you close?

Uh, yeah, a couple minutes from the
trail right now. Any updates on the

No hit on the kids' phones.

They're either off or out of service.

That makes sense. If I go any deeper,
I'm going to need my sat phone.

Yeah, coastal fog, empathy, some drones.

But they got some folks coming out to
assist.

Nora and Pierce Canfield, they're
waiting for you.

That's Jayden and Sarah's parents.

Okay. Charlie and Brooke's parents?

They are on their way from Florida. They
just jumped the first flight out. Okay.

I'll update you when I know anything.
Thanks, Randy.

Colter. Thanks for coming so fast.

We're grateful you're here. How familiar
are your kids with the trail? Jaden's

hiked it before. They're friends, Brooke
and Charlie, too. It's Sarah's first

time. He has asthma, and if anything
goes wrong and she has an attack,

Jaden knows what to do if that happens.

Any sign of them on the trail? Just some
protein bar wrappers at a junction.

All right. Any idea...

Anyway, they snuck off and did something
different.

They wouldn't do that.

Okay.

I'm sorry I have to ask. Is there any
issues at school, maybe at home?

Well, we're leaving the country next
month, moving to Hong Kong. Nora got a

promotion. How'd that go over?

Well, Sarah's coming around to the idea,
but Jaden's taking it hard.

They're just both trying to make the
most of the time they have left with

friends. It was just supposed to be a
day hike.

When was the last time you heard from
them?

Oh, they sent me this picture yesterday
afternoon, two hours into the hike.

I replied right away, but I haven't
heard anything back since.

Preparing the water.

Meat blankets?

I don't know.

Search and rescue. Geolocate the photo.
Yes, they're up there right now. They

know we hired you. I'll send you the
photo.

You get to work. Thank you.

Hey, buddy.

Your section's closed.

Yeah. Colter Shaw.

Parents hired me to help. Yeah, right.
They mentioned you. Luke Parsons. Good

meet you.

Appreciate the help. Sure.

This search area is pretty large. Do you
have any more bodies up here?

It's only been 18 hours.

Usually wouldn't mobilize a whole search
until at least 24 hours have passed,

but I collected a few favors to get a
head start.

Okay. Anything I should know?

We had a difficult rescue recently that
could have been avoided.

Took a bad trail.

Couldn't get back.

Those areas are closed off now.

I'm hoping these kids just got turned
around in the fog. Maybe.

The trail didn't look too difficult.

Minimal incline. There's markers at
every turn.

I've seen people get lost on well
-marked trails.

Check this out.

This is what I'm getting at. Look at all
this gear.

Now, they wouldn't need all that
equipment to hike this, would they?

What are you saying?

I think they lied to their parents about
where they were headed.

This junction lead to others?

Not directly.

The cliffs limit your options in that
direction, but there are plenty of

to the northeast.

A bit of a climb, though.

Hoping they aren't there.

All right, I'm gonna head up there, rule
it out.

I'll join you.

Well, if you're worried about me getting
lost, don't.

My old man used to drop me and my
brother in the middle of the woods. He'd

us there. We had to find our own way
back.

That doesn't sound too fun.

No, it wasn't fun, but it taught us to
think.

Never react out of fear.

Eh, well, my man hated the woods.

Also wasn't around much.

Probably why I got into search and
rescue to prove I wasn't like him.

I get that.

Randy, I'm headed up the trail with
search and rescue right now.

Parents give you any more info?

No, I think this hike was a cover for
something else.

I remember that.

I used to tell my parents I was headed
to swim practice, but really I was just

going to go link with my girl.

You check the kids' socials, see if
anything pops?

Yeah, I got you. Let you know if I find
anything.

Hey, Brittany still not here?

Not yet.

She should be here any minute.

Can I get you a refill?

I'm good.

You know, if you're into green tea, I
can break out my stash of Dragon Well.

It's pretty awesome.

I didn't come all the way across town to
have tea. Thank you, though. She's not

coming, is she? She is. She definitely
is.

She's probably just stuck in traffic.

She has my number. No, just give me 30
seconds, and I'll find out what's

her. I'm sure she's got to be breathing.

Oh, I definitely do.

We're going to miss the signing session.

Good. Because they slipped in a non
-compete to the final package this

Buried it in the executive compendium.
No red line, no heads up, nothing.

And look, the clause bars you from
working in health tech or any other data

-driven platform for the next three
years worldwide.

You could be cashing out.

You'd be muzzled. If we sign, can they
really enforce that?

Yes.

We'd be in good legal standing to fight
it. And look, I am more than happy to

collect on those billable hours, but
this is not about the money.

Uncle, this clause tells me that they
want control, not partnership.

They're banking that you won't walk out
this late in the game.

What would you do?

Oh, I'd stall the deal.

Push back.

If they don't want the tech without the
golden handcuffs, someone else will.

I just can't guarantee the payout's
going to be this good.

Okay.

Let's push back.

I'll draft a response.

You've made the right decision, and I'll
send you an email with an update.

Also, sorry about before.

No problem.

Thank you for stalling back there,
really.

Of course, anytime.

So when I was at the DA's office, the
interns, they came up with a system of,

like, code words.

It kind of helped us be more efficient
but also discreet. I was thinking maybe

we could try it. Like, if you need to
get off of a phone call or a client

distracting, anything like that.

Okay, interesting idea.

Something only we know, like a password
or something.

Did Randy put you up to this? Because he
loves Pathway and he has been super

concerned about my online hygiene.

No, no.

Trust me, he's already given me the
talk.

Yeah. Okay, I'll put together a list of
words and phrases for different

situations you might want to get out of.

Nice. And what's the code word for
coffee?

Already brewing.

My girl.

The drop -off blocks access to these
ranges here.

And there's the river to the southwest.

That leaves these trails right here,
yeah? Yeah. Still too much ground to

Even with the extra bodies, I don't have
the manpower for a search this wide

spread.

Randy, talk to me. What do you got?
Well, nothing popped up on their

but I did a deep dive.

And it turns out Sarah was very active
on this Reddit board about urban

She commented on a post about this old
train robbery.

Apparently, bandits stole over $100 ,000
in gold coins and supposedly buried it

out there somewhere.

Yeah, I've heard of it.

Once in a while, we get some crazies out
here looking for it. Years ago, this

guy came in from Copenhagen.

Fell and broke his leg. Where?

Right up the summit trail.

Oh, wow.

Sarah posted a link to a laser mapping
study in that area.

That's one of the bad ones. Park closed
it off. It's incredibly dangerous.

That's where they are. Let's go. Thanks,
Randy.

Yeah, you got it.

Tracks go off this way.

All right.

Explains why they needed all that gear.

Of course, that's a prince here, right?

You got something?

Maybe.

These knots are hand -tied, aren't they?

What's that about?

I don't know yet.

Let's keep moving.

This way.

Got someone?

It's Charlie!

What the hell?

Got a pulse.

Need to stabilize him.

The wounds look superficial.

Got one of the missing hikers.

Charlie Hope.

On the summit trail.

Head wound.

Possible spinal injury.

Five minutes out. Yeah.

Now here he comes. Here he comes. Hey.

Here we go.

Here you are.

It's okay.

Whoa. Trying to move.

Can't move until we get the med back,
okay?

What do you mean?

Deep breaths.

There you go. We're here to help you,
okay?

Remember what happened?

I fell.

Slept on the trail?

Where were your friends? Your friends
leave this for you? That bars in the

water? Yeah, they go get help?

Okay, which way did they go? Do you
remember? Hey, look at me. Look at me.

you remember which way they went?

There, okay.

Okay. You need to call it in. Turn it
over to the sheriff. We don't have time

for that.

I'm serious.

You head down that way, a couple miles
off the trail, gets into some dangerous

territory. What do you mean dangerous?

Illegal grow operations.

All sorts.

Not the kind of people who welcome
outsiders.

They see you, they will shoot.

Who'd have known?

My sister's still out there.

Okay, hey.

I'm gonna go find your sister, okay? You
stay with him.

Keep your eyes open.

Don't move.

Stay with Charlie. Wait for Medevac.

Hey. Oh, yeah. Good news. What?

Short -term rental. It's like it turned
into a long -term rental. I knew you'd

vibe with Denver.

Okay. Vibe's a strong word. Let's just
say that I kind of dig it, maybe, a

little. Oh, yeah. Just a little. Yeah.

How's the neighborhood?

They got this amazing comic book shop
down the block from where I live.

Got readings and signings and all kind
of nerd stuff.

You do know that people come to Colorado
for the outdoors, right? Yeah, I know

that. I just got a fresh new pair of
hiking boots. I'm ready.

I am impressed. Thank you. Wow.

Good for you. Thank you.

I really like having you here, Randy.
You know I need the help.

I don't know if you noticed, but it has
been nonstop lately.

No, I noticed.

Hey, how's the new girl?

Actually, she's killing it. She really
had my back earlier.

Really?

Very good.

Cole, what's happening?

Hey, Randy, you ever hear of an app
called Wisp? Uh, Wisp with two I's?

the one.

Yeah? It's like a WhatsApp, but shady.

Got two -factor security, conversation
encryption.

Who's he using with?

I'm on a phone with the initials J -A
-C. I think it might belong to Jaden.

Oh. Let me check.

Jaden's middle name is Andrew.

What's he got to hide? I was hoping you
could tell me.

I mean, the app is built for privacy, so
it might take me a while to pull the

data.

I think it may be he's in contact with
someone who knew where they were.

Is that why you think they disappeared
on the hike?

Maybe they had plans to meet up and
something went wrong.

I'll call you back.

Back up.

Don't. Don't do that. Back up.

Good. Turn around.

I don't want any trouble.

Looking for three missing teens. I know
they came through here.

You're in the wrong place, brother.

I'm not a cop.

I don't care about your operation here.
I'm just looking for those three teens I

was telling you about. That's all I care
about. That ain't our problem.

But you poking around, it's gonna be.

Where are they?

They never came here.

Come on out.

Come on out. It's okay. I'm not going to
hurt you.

You the lookout?

Yes, sir.

Pretty important job.

I'm guessing not much gets by you. Is
that right?

Nothing. Looking for three teams.

You see anything?

Yeah, I seen him. Shut your mouth,
Kenny.

Listen to me.

Don't forget everything I saw here
today.

Let me hear what he has to say.

Go on.

Scary guy marched into the bushes there.

Made him wait while he knocked out the
other lookout.

What did he look like?

Couldn't tell.

He was wearing a weird camo suit.

Where'd he take him?

You know, he had a gun. And then he
stole my dad's truck.

What kind of truck?

My dad's baby's not... Enough!

No more questions.

Walk away.

You got what you need. Tell me about the
truck, and I'll redirect the cops.

Otherwise, they're going to track the
kids here just like I did.

Up to you.

Rusty old Ford, 78.

Yeah.

You get any information on that truck I
sent you? Well, a 1978 Ford pickup

truck's a little too old to trace, but
don't worry. Let me cook.

It was abducted by someone in a homemade
camo suit. I found pieces of it on the

summit trail.

You think you followed him up there?

I don't know. Maybe.

Anything pop on Tayden's phone?

Uh, yeah. Okay, so Tayden's got one
contact on WISP, and the handle's a

of random letters and numbers.

He deleted most of his messages, except
for that one that you saw on the lock

screen.

What'd it say?

The path ahead is clear.

How cryptic can you get? Yeah. Jaden
respond?

No. But there's a lot of back and forth
markers, so they definitely know each

other. Who sent the first message?

Jaden. Like five months ago.

I'm missing something.

Hold up.

Okay. I traced the sender's IP.

Pretty remote, but it's in the area.

It's either a cabin or a campsite.
Whatever it is, it's off the grid. So

got to be some portable power source or
Wi -Fi.

Send me the coordinates.

You got it.

I'm going to call Parsons. Have him meet
me there.

Update on Charlie?

Heard from the hospital. He's going to
be okay.

We got to him just in time. Good.

And search and rescue are on standby.

Smoke?

Place is off the grid.

It's a good match for your guy's
description.

They got a satellite, which means they
probably have internet.

They could be sending the messages from
here.

All right, let's go.

I'm just here.

Password. If I'm going to look for
things, this guy's pretty analog. Maybe

wrote it down somewhere. Let's try to
find it.

It could be anywhere.

Did you check under the keyboard?

That's where I keep mine.

Got it.

Jade's messages.

Maybe they met online.

Got close, guy becomes obsessed.

Maybe.

Jade's talking about moving to Hong
Kong.

Doesn't seem too happy about it.

Talking to his dad.

He'd be Pierce Canfield. He hired you to
look for his kids.

He's not Pierce.

He hasn't seen this guy in ten years.

Jaden was just a kid when his dad left.

So, Jaden tries to reconnect with his
biological father. Turns out he's not

man he was hoping for.

Come on, pick up the pace.

Not too much further now.

Oh, my God.

I've got to get her back to the truck.

It's not going to work. It's in her
lungs. She needs a new inhaler.

Breathe with me.

In and out slowly, right? Dad, please.

She needs a doctor.

You can do it.

Greeny, you talk to the kid's mom?
Direct husband?

Yeah, Nora's pretty shocked. I mean, she
had no idea Richard was even in contact

with Jaden. He vanished from their life
ten years ago, but apparently Jaden

convinced his uncle to put them in
touch, and Nora is furious.

Did she say anything about him? That he
wasn't cut out to be a father.

Something flipped when they had kids,
and he started ranting about modern

medicine, technology.

Sounds familiar.

Yeah, right.

At any rate... he joined a group of
radical environmental activists.

And needless to say, they are not the
kind that just chain themselves to

Earth Liberation Front.

Yeah, an offshoot. Just slashing tires,
unlocking trucks, vandalizing road work,

the lot.

Kids know anything about this?

Absolutely nothing.

Nora shielded them from all of it,
because after that, Richard just cut all

and walked out into the middle of the
woods by himself.

I mean, it doesn't sound like the kind
of guy who'd make the move to get his

kids back.

Yeah, Jaden reached out to him first.

He was old enough to miss his dad when
he left.

Wait, do you think Jaden planned this?

What, he used the hike as a cover to
meet up with his dad?

I don't think so.

He mentioned something about the hike.
He didn't mention anything about meeting

up with anyone on the trail.

Well, maybe talking to his son made
Richard realize what he'd been missing.

I mean, why didn't he let their friend
Brooke go?

Maybe she knew too much. Using her as
leverage.

Coulter, he's dangerous.

He thinks he's doing what's best for his
kids. He's going about the wrong way.

They're fully stocked up here.

I think they were planning on staying
here for a bit.

Then why did they leave?

This is the question, isn't it?

Coulter? Hold on, I think I got
something.

Got Sarah's empty inhaler.

Home remedies here.

Uh, the stuff he's using. It's gonna
make her situation worse.

We've got a grid search going and state
troopers set up a blockade around the

area. They're treating it as a hostage
situation. They're not here.

Sarah had an asthma attack.

Father's trying to get help.

Where could they go?

Hospital's too risky.

There's a pharmacy nearby.

Maybe a local doctor.

Main strip in town's the closest.

Let's go. All right.

Ready?

We got a lead.

Anything on the truck?

Not yet.

State troopers are setting up along the
roads into and out of town.

They'll be ready when he gets here.

We're headed there now. Maybe we can cut
him off. Thanks, Randy. You bet.

Watch out.

Hey, it's okay.

Brooke, we're here to help.

You heard?

No, he took them.

I don't know what he's going to do.

Please, my brother Charlie, we left him
at the trail. He needs help. He's going

to be okay. We got to him in time. We
airlifted him out.

Okay.

Anybody treat Sarah?

Yeah, me. Yeah? I did what I could, but
they're not moving fast. She's going to

need time to recover.

Okay. You see where they went? Over
there into the woods. Okay, thank you.

Hey, they're going to take care of you.

Take care of her?

Yeah. Let's go.

I don't get it.

What?

Why did you contact him?

He's our dad.

But didn't you ever think about him? No.

No, he's crazy.

He has a gun.

He would not hurt us.

Are you sure?

Did you know he was going to kidnap us?

No. I didn't even know he was nearby.

I'm scared, Jay.

I'm so sorry, Sarah, okay?

But I'm going to get us out of this.
Promise?

We need to move.

Now. Well, she can't have another asthma
attack.

She won't unless you put it in her head.

Are we going back to the cabin?

No.

We'll build another one.

Together.

I'm going to teach you how to hunt, how
to cultivate, how to read this land.

Okay?

No, no, no.

No, please, I can't go any further.

You can.

And you will.

There's no other option.

Say it.

Say it.

I can't. No, Dad, please.

Okay, just stop for a second. I mean,
look at her. I'm doing this for you!

I'm doing this for both of you.

Go now.
