- Previously on Tracker... - How's Keaton doing?

Got some PI work for him if he's interested.

My old partner on the force, Nat Dobbs. I can't find him.

Detective Simms.

Any sign of Dobbs?

No. Looks like this was someone's body dump.

You got any idea who's involved in that body farm?

Yeah. Zhan Menassian.

What's that, right there on the window?

- What is that? A reflection? - You're kidding me. Emile Lang.

He's been off the map for five years

after killing a cop at the Vortex nightclub.

Then why the hell resurface now?

I got him. Dobbs!

It was Lang.

Was he here?

He took my boss out to the garage, out in the back.

What did Lang want?

He kept asking where she was.

Someone called Cassie Lindstrom.

Keaton. Keaton.

Hey.

Lang's looking for Cassie Lindst...

Keaton?

Okay.

Come on, buddy.

Here we go.

Come on!

Here you go. Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Damn.

I'll find something to pack that wound.

Hold on. Be right back, okay?

One sec. Be right back.

There. All right.

Here you go. Here you go.

Pressure's good. All right, pressure.

Hey, I'm gonna go get us help, okay?

You hang on.

Be right back.

All right.

911, what's your emergency?

Hey, this is Colter Shaw, I'd like to report an accident.

Location?

Briar Bridge Road.

Near the turnpike.

There's a man down. He needs medical assistance.

- Do you know his name? - John Keaton.

All right, someone's on their way.

Hey.

Any word on Colter Shaw?

Turns out he's the one that made the 911 call for Keaton

after the shoot-out at the lake house.

- There's no sign of him. - Damn it.

I told Keaton to stand down.

Stubborn bastard didn't listen.

I've got the FBI breathing down my neck on this Menassian murder.

Did you find anything on the victims at the lake house?

The accountant.

He was on Menassian's payroll.

This is all connected.

- What about the housekeeper? - She's clean.

There's nothing on her.

How does Shaw fit into all this?

It could be he's working with Lang and just got Keaton dragged into it.

We do have Shaw at both crime scenes.

At the Menassian murder and now the lake house shooting.

I give the FBI this information. They're leaning that way too.

Copy that. There's no hits on the APB,

but we've got units and K-9s en route.

- Great. Let's gather up the press. - Okay.

Is everything okay?

You gotta see this.

Last night, two individuals were killed in a violent exchange of gunfire,

and we've identified two persons of interest, Emile Lang and Colter Shaw.

With an assist from the FBI,

we are actively deploying all resources in this manhunt.

Shaw and Lang should be considered armed and dangerous.

We are asking the public to please stay vigilant

and report any information regarding their whereabouts

to the police immediately.

Thank you.

The hell is going on?

I have no idea. His phone keeps going to voicemail.

Well, I haven't heard from him since yesterday.

His cell service went offline when he was up at the lake.

He was tracking Lang.

Something must have gone sideways.

Colter?

It's not his number.

- Hello? - Reenie.

Oh, Colter, thank God.

- What is going on? - Keaton and I were ambushed.

- What? By who? - Gotta be Lang.

You all right, bro?

I've been better.

I'm gonna flag somebody down.

Whoa, that's... that's a bad idea.

The police are looking at you for all of these murders, Colter.

Zhan Menassian, two people at the lake house.

Two people? What are you talking about?

An accountant and his housekeeper.

Oh, no, she was alive when I left the house.

Lang must... must have gone back and killed the woman.

Tie up his loose ends.

Send him the video of Dobbs killing Menassian with Lang.

- That'll clear me. - Yeah, flag on that play, man.

I already tried to retrieve it. Everything's been wiped.

I'm being set up.

Tell us where you are. We'll come get you.

No, it's better you don't know.

And Reenie, don't get my brother involved on this one.

I'll call you when I can.

Can you get a location on him?

I can try, but you know he's gonna ditch his phones and go analog.

Maybe I'll get lucky and there's some

game and wildlife surveillance around the lake.

- Do whatever it takes. - I got you.

- Reenie Greene? - Yes?

We're looking for Colter Shaw.

He's not here and this is private property.

And this is a warrant to search it.

Okay.

This warrant is restricted to files

and correspondence pertaining to Colter as an employer of services.

- That's it. - That's all we need.

All right. I will be observing the execution of the warrant.

- That's your right. - It sure is.

You can start in here.

- Colter? - That bad, huh?

I'm gonna get you outta here. Got us an Airbnb.

How'd you know I was nearby?

Still keeping tabs, I see.

Okay, this next part's gonna hurt, Mr. No Anesthetic.

Yeah, just... just do it.

Okay. Okay. I got it.

Hey, look at me.

I'm looking at you.

Are you okay? I just pulled a bullet out of your chest.

Thank you.

Police were scanning the crash area looking for you. You said...

- You said you were being set up? - Yeah.

- I don't know by who. - It's okay.

We'll figure it out. I got you.

Got you a fresh change of clothes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.

You're not going anywhere.

Here. Sit.

- Sit. - Yeah.

Thanks.

Keaton said that Lang was after someone.

Cassie Lindstrom.

I got to get to her first.

You're in no shape to do that.

You don't know who she is, where she could be.

There's an officer who was killed at a nightclub nearby, same last name.

I figure maybe they're related.

Okay.

Can you look her up?

Please.

But first, you're gonna rest.

Drink this.

Okay, yeah, here we go.

There's a Detective Jack Lindstrom.

He was shot and killed outside Vortex nightclub five years ago.

Cassie's his wife. That's Lang's target?

That's who he was looking for at the lake house.

It says here she moved to a different town after her husband was killed.

Lang probably already would have been there.

As good a place as any to start looking. Maybe we get lucky.

- Neighbors spotted you. We need to go. - Yeah.

Listen... I'm gonna go alone.

I need to get to Cassie. Clear my name.

Police, open the door.

Goddamn it. Okay.

All right.

Bag.

It's got cash, burner.

- Police, open the door. - I owe you again.

This way.

What the hell are you doing?

Federal agents, unlock the door.

This is your last chance before we break down the door and arrest you.

Sup? My bad, man.

I-I had my cans on. I couldn't... Oh, yeah, okay.

Yeah, I couldn't...

What... Nice to meet you too.

- Are we done here? - We are.

Did they get anything?

No, no. But, uh, now I can't track Colter.

Whoa.

What happened here?

Oh, nothing much. Just your usual morning FBI raid.

What?

We'll be fine. Everything will be fine.

What were they looking for?

Colter.

But they're not going to find him, Randy made sure of that.

I... I ran into the accountant next door.

She said someone called their office for you a few minutes ago,

said there was a problem with the phones and to give you this number.

- Did the feds cut the phone lines? - No.

It's got to be Colter.

He's telling us not to use the office phones to call him

in case they tapped the lines.

I got you.

What are you doing?

Oh, you really made yourself at home there, huh?

You're welcome.

Let me see that number.

- Reenie. - Hey, you've got all of us.

- Everybody okay? - Yeah, well,

I got a visit from the feds this morning, but, uh, thanks to my dead man's switch,

pretty sure everything got wiped.

- You got a backup? - No, that defeats the point, bro.

If I go dark, everything's got to vanish.

I can rebuild, but it's gonna take a beat.

Okay. Hear anything from Keaton?

Listen, there were some complications and he's in surgery now.

All right, keep me posted, will you?

I'm at Cassie Lindstrom's house right now.

She put up a fight, but she was definitely taken.

Randy, how long before you can get me surveillance?

Just-Just give me a little bit to get to a computer.

- Okay? I'll see what I can do. - Yeah.

I already told you I haven't seen him.

Then what are you doing in an Airbnb in the same town as Colter Shaw?

Work.

Right, you two are running that reward seeker hustle, right?

He's a competitor, you might say.

Okay.

Well, your neighbor said she saw someone here matching Colter's description, so...

I mean, it could have been my takeout delivery.

I'm not big on restaurants.

Listen, I know you know where he is.

And if you care about him, it's better if he turns himself in,

because there are a lot of people looking for him.

And if they find him, there's no telling what they'll do.

Look, Detective.

I don't know anything.

Now, I got things to do.

So either you're charging me, or you can see yourself out.

- Okay, I owe you big-time, yeah. - No problem.

Just erase whatever you're doing, so the boss doesn't find out.

Come on, man. You know it. Like... Like I was never here.

Okay.

- Back online? - Yeah, man, you know it.

Got a little skeleton setup, but it's all good.

Mmm.

I don't think anyone's been here for days.

They got dried blood, moldy food.

And it looks like, uh, she was sitting down to eat dinner.

Sending, answering emails. One of them got interrupted.

- Five days ago. - Before all this started then, right?

Yeah.

I'm gonna send you some local Wi-Fi networks.

I need you to check the neighbors' security cameras.

Looking for something from five days ago.

They took her out the back door down into the alley.

I got something. All right, I'm sending you the footage now.

So Lang didn't take her.

I don't recognize either one of these guys.

You say this is five days ago?

Yeah, so what are you thinking?

It was before Lang killed the farmer.

Menassian.

Dobbs.

This whole thing got set off when Cassie got kidnapped, right?

Something's not adding up.

This van belongs to a local construction company.

- Send me an address? - I'm already on it, dawg.

Just sent to you.

All right, so you think these guys are with Lang?

Nah, I don't think so.

Keaton said he likes to work alone.

Whoever these guys are working for

are the same guys that are trying to frame me.

Lang's not trying to kill Cassie.

Someone else is.

Thanks.

Sure you weren't tailed?

You were right about Simms.

She thinks you're behind all this.

And the two guys that kidnapped Cassie, they triggered Lang.

So he goes on a killing spree.

I checked Cassie's record, she's squeaky clean.

She worked as a preschool teacher

collecting her late husband's pension,

so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Someone thought she was important enough to kidnap.

Got to figure out who.

There you go.

Empty.

No one's here.

Look at this.

Look at this. Someone was dragged this way.

All right.

One of the guys who took Cassie.

Doesn't look like he's been dead long.

Someone tortured him.

You thinking Lang's handiwork?

I think he's on the same trail we are.

If so, where's Cassie? Where's the other guy?

Maybe the other guy took Cassie.

Lang finds this guy, tortures him for information, then kills him.

Does he have ID?

- Son of a bitch. - He was a cop, Dominic Mendoza.

- What's up, C? - Need you to run a name for me.

"Dominic Mendoza." The guy's a cop.

Need to see if he used to work with Dobbs.

Yeah, give me a sec.

Mmm. Okay.

Yes, Dobbs and Mendoza worked on the same Vice Task Force.

- Keaton? - Uh, no. The task force was established

after Keaton had already retired.

Who was their target?

Zhan Menassian.

Cassie's husband on that task force?

Yeah, for two months. Then he was killed in the line of duty.

- Any other names? - Neil Barton...

Henry Easton and Willa Simms.

I knew it.

I told you I was getting weird vibes from her.

Yeah, it says here she was transferred out about seven years ago.

Thanks, Randy.

So the whole task force is dirty.

They were getting kickbacks from Menassian.

- They're the ones framing me. - Lang's wiping them out one by one.

- Settling old scores. - But why take you and Keaton out?

And why would the cops on the take kidnap Cassie

and activate Lang after all this time?

What if Lang's not the one who was shooting at Keaton and me?

Those task force cops.

He's got something.

"Fireside Bar and Grill."

It's a sports bar not far from here.

Okay. Well, if this guy was there, maybe Lang was there too.

- Someone might have seen something. - One way to find out.

This is the spot?

Yeah.

What's the play?

I mean, you don't exactly blend in.

It's not worth the risk.

I'll go. You sit tight.

- No way. - Hi, can I help you?

Hi, yeah. I need to speak to your manager. It's urgent.

- You're not gonna believe this. - What?

Lang works there as a line cook.

How the hell could that be?

He's been using an alias of Benny Sheridan. Called in sick this week.

So he never disappeared. He's been hiding in plain sight this whole time.

But get this, an article was published on the restaurant two weeks ago.

Lang is in the background of the photo.

So someone recognizes him.

Mendoza and the dirty cops come here looking for him,

that's how this whole thing got started.

But why kidnap Cassie? Why not just go directly after Lang?

- What's she got to do with this? - We're missing something.

Billie.

Damn it.

I gotta get you out of here, Colter.

Go.

Step out of the car.

Hands in the air.

All units, suspect is heading away from the Fireside Bar and Grill.

- He's on foot. Surround the perimeter. - Copy that.

Hands behind your back.

Nice to see you too.

You are under arrest for aiding and abetting a known fugitive.

Hope he was worth it.

Colter hasn't done anything wrong.

We'll see.

Well, if he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't have run.

Or maybe he was being set up.

He doesn't know who to trust.

Except you.

You were Vice, right?

Special task force investigating Menassian and his cohorts.

Funny how the team never produced an indictment.

No arrests, not even a low-level bust.

Menassian was careful.

No one's that careful.

He was being tipped.

Are you accusing me of something, Matalon?

I don't think it's a coincidence that so many people

associated with that task force are ending up dead or kidnapped.

- Kidnapped? - Jack Lindstrom's wife.

You don't know, do you?

Your old friends from Vice abducted her.

Hey, hey, hey.

- What's happening, man? - Back in the office?

Yeah, picked up some new gear.

- Just got back. - Did you find anything?

Yeah, Lang was operating under an alias, Benny Sheridan.

I need you to see if he has properties under that name.

I got nothing. No home, no rental, nothing.

What about an RV? Maybe a trailer? Something he could get away in.

One sec.

Okay, on it. Here we go.

All right, he's got a trailer.

Where does he keep it?

Right outside of town, RV park, Lot 97.

All right. On my way there now.

- Thanks, Randy. - Good job.

Betty?

Hello, Henry.

It's gonna be okay.

You're in no position to make promises.

- Where's Cassie? - I don't know.

Who-Who's Cassie?

Your husband and his friends figured out where I worked,

and they showed up trying to kill me.

Worried I knew too much about their kickbacks from drug dealers.

So they kidnapped Cassie, an easier target,

trying to draw me out.

Anything I left out?

Please, my wife had nothing to do with this.

But she knew.

House like this on a policeman's salary alone.

Must've made a small fortune off the Menassians.

You didn't seem to mind too much when you were the one getting paid.

Unlike you, I have limits.

I'll eliminate marks for a price as long as they're in the game.

Your husband and his friends knew this,

so when Jack Lindstrom started asking questions, they told me a story.

They said he double-crossed the boss, but they lied.

He wasn't dirty.

They had me kill an innocent, make his wife a widow.

Don't do this.

Cassie was supposed to be off-limits.

- She's an innocent too. - You made her part of it.

Where is she?

I don't know.

It's interesting, because your friend Mendoza told me

that you took Cassie somewhere while he dealt with the van.

No. No, I didn't know anything!

Neither did Cassie.

We'll start with the pinky, work from there.

- No. No. No, please. - Last chance, Henry.

Okay!

I'll tell you where she is.

- Hey, Colter? - Cassie and Lang are a couple.

Wait, what?

That explains his behavior, right?

Okay, so he killed her husband so he could be with her?

I don't know.

And I think the dirty cops found out, and they're using her as leverage.

I got a box of files here that Lang took from that lake house.

Some ledger.

Looks like that accountant was entering everything analog.

A bunch of deposits here, all cash,

that come from shell companies, the Menassian.

Any names?

Yeah.

- Thanks for meeting me. - Yeah.

It's an awfully discreet location.

I wanted to talk, just me and you.

Did you get anything from Matalon?

She said some things.

Well, hope it's about where to find Shaw.

No, uh...

About how the, uh, task force you created

was taking kickbacks from Menassian.

- You believe her? - I don't know.

You were on the task force, Simms.

And I was moved off when I started asking questions, remember?

Because you were a rookie,

and I didn't think it was a good fit for you.

Cassie Lindstrom was abducted.

Her husband was on that same task force, brought in after I left.

And he was killed.

Detective.

If I was you...

I'd be very careful.

That's why I came to you first, to give you a chance to explain.

Don't move.

- You got some balls showing up here. - Yeah, maybe you're right.

You're gonna take me to Cassie.

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

Oh, I think you do. This all you got? You got anything else?

- No. - Let's go.

Drive.

Come on.

Open it.

You don't know what you walked into.

Neither did I.

You thought Lang was dead or maybe gone forever.

You saw that article, and you started to panic that your secrets would come out.

You underestimated what he would do to protect Cassie.

Well, the man murdered her husband and started sleeping with her.

Don't-Don't paint him like some hero.

You're both standing in the same mud.

It's okay. You're okay.

I'm here to help you.

Go uncuff her. Go on.

Can you stand? You okay? Can you walk?

Come towards me.

Burton, shoot him!

I'll break her neck, you hear me? Back up!

Benny, what's going on?

That's not my name. I lied to you.

But I-I don't understand.

You're gonna hear a lot of awful things about me. It's all true.

I just need you to know that everything I felt for you was real.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Reenie got you all sorted out?

Yeah. Record's clear.

At least as clear as it was.

The FBI has everything they need to clean up.

Simms?

Mmm.

She didn't make it.

She was trying to make this all right.

Yeah, it won't bring her back.

No, it won't.

How is he?

You know, he's...

he's got a long road ahead of him...

if he pulls through.

He'll pull through.

How are you?

Better now.

Thanks for coming.

I couldn't have done this without you.

I'll put it on your tab.

You know, I'm gonna have to start chipping away at that thing, aren't I?

Yeah? What do you have in mind?

There's a...

There's a place nearby, solid four on Yelp.

They've got beer.

Hell, I'll take a four.
