All language subtitles for Tracker 2024 S01E12

We've got nothing for you nearby.

Well, look a little farther out.

Yeah, sure.

- Something will pop.
- Always does.

Let me know when you find something.

Sure thing.

Hey, little brother.

You gonna shoot me

or can we sit down and have a few?

I brought some of my homebrew.

Guess this is one of
those "who's gonna go first"

kind of deals?

You called me.

True.

- Called people I work with.
- Also true.

Set up a time and a
date to meet last week

and you don't show.

Sorry about that.

That it?

Well, something came up.

"Something came up."

What was so important, Russell,

you keep calling me?

Dory thinks we ought
to put the past behind us.

I tried months ago, you blew me off.

So let's get to it.

I know you think I
pushed dad off that cliff.

I saw you there.

Colter, I didn't push him.

I don't know if he fell

or if somebody else pushed him,

but I do know that
there was somebody else

in those woods that night.

Dad had enemies, colter.

He was a crazy son of a bitch.

He was paranoid.

I mean, the man was hard as hell on us.

Making us learn how to skin a rabbit?

Not exactly a skill I need these days.

Why would mom let me
believe that you did it?

Yeah, I don't know.

I like to think she did the best she could.

But mom had her secrets, trust me.

You can't just drop that on
me and not explain yourself.

The man I saw in the
woods the night dad died,

I'd seen him once before.

I saw him talking to our mom.

Are you saying mom had
something to do with this?

I-I don't know.

But when dad died,

she said it would best if I left.

And to keep quiet about what happened.

You didn't question that?

She said our lives depended on it.

Because of what happened to dad?

I was a kid, so I left.

Then I got older and I just stayed gone.

- You joined the military.
- Yeah, I enlisted, you know?

Thought that was the best
way to leave it all behind.

Look, man, there's nothing
that we can say or do

to bring dad back.

Or to make up for lost time, okay?

What happened, happened.

Yeah, well, then, you know.

I guess we're done here, right?

That it?

Thought this would be two brothers

burying the old family hatchet.

You know, hugging it out.

Well, you gave me a lot
to think about, didn't you?

Well, while you're doing your thinking,

there's something I
could use your help with.

You find people, right?

- For rewards?
- Yeah.

I'm trying to find an
old unit buddy off mine,

Doug Thompson.

What happened?

He's been missing for five days.

Wife said he left on an
errand and never came back.

It's actually why I missed our meeting,

because I was checking things out.

Problems in the marriage?

No. No, Doug's a solid guy, he wouldn't...

He wouldn't ditch Tracy.

Anything else you can give me to go on?

I traced his phone to a gas
station outside of roanoke.

It was in the trash, it was all busted up.

His car was still there.

- Gas stations have cameras.
- They do.

Doug was on the
surveillance video until he...

Bolted off camera.

And he was acting real sketchy.

Something was wrong.

I can pay you, you know, for your help.

Russell.

It's not about the money.

Well, will you help me or no?

Yeah, I'll help you.

Great. Thanks.

Here you go.

Free coffee from the lobby.

Free coffee?

Yeah, no, it does the trick, trust me.

- Living here?
- Yeah, for now.

It's not that bad. They actually
got a hot tub in the back.

Met some girl from
Tallahassee the other night,

used to be a cheerleader,
like a... like, a pro one?

Yeah.

She's a dental hygienist now.

I'm sure this story has a point,
but we should probably go.

Listen, I wanted to ask:

We're good, right?

I mean, you believe me
about what I said about dad?

Yeah, i-i... you know, I don't
know what to believe right now.

Let's go to your friend's, okay?

Let's go.

You gonna tell me
about your friend, or...?

Sure. Doug Thompson.

He's one of the good ones.
Saved my life more than once.

I owe him. He's, you
know, he's like family to me.

You guys go back a ways then?

Served 18 years together, same unit.

Then what?

After that?

I don't know, we got out, kept in touch,

ran in the same crowd.
You know how it goes.

I-I don't know.

You want me to help you find this guy,

you're gonna have to give me something.

I-I need to know his routine,
what's this guy about? Come on.

All right.

Doug's quiet.

You know, he's, some
people might say he's intense.

I hooked up him up with this-this outfit.

Civilian contract stuff.

And that's what you do, too?

Yeah. Ex-special ops guys do.

We miss the excitement
when we transition to civilian life,

and it pays very well.

And what's the name of this outfit?

It's called the horizon
group, but I don't think

what's going on with Doug
has anything to do with them.

What makes you say that?

Doug got into a car accident
about six weeks ago, okay?

Nothing major, but it shook him up,

he started to act weird, you know?

He was getting paranoid.

So I'm thinking maybe
he got a concussion

that triggered some PTSD and...

I-I don't know, maybe he
got scared and he ran off

and he's hiding somewhere.

Yeah, maybe.

This is it, last house - on the right there.

Yeah.

Tracy, hey.

This is colter. He's
gonna help us find Doug.

What is it? What happened?

There was a package
on my porch this morning.

Mind if we take a look?

Come in.

- Have a seat.
- Thanks.

- When was the delivery?
- An hour ago.

- You call the police?
- No.

I waited for you.

You think this might belong to Doug?

I don't know.

Why would someone send that to me?

- Was there a note?
- Nothing.

You have security cameras outside?

We did, but Doug disabled them.

He was worried that people
might hack into the network,

spy on us.

He's been a little off lately.

He thought people were watching him.

He say who?

No.

You have any idea why Doug's car

would've been found at a gas station

an hour outside of town?

No, he was just supposed to
pick up groceries at the market.

He didn't mention anything to me, either.

Maybe this is about horizon.

We don't know what's going on here yet.

He doesn't tell me
anything about what he does

or who he works for.

Because he can't. He can't.

You know that.

I just want to know he's okay.

I'm gonna help you find your husband.

What's this? What are we doing?

I'll show you.

Okay. Help me out, will you?

Fill that in for me.

What is this? Some sort
of homemade psych exam?

I can save you the trouble, you know.

I-I know you're crazy.

I'm gonna try to pull a print off this finger,

see if it belongs to Doug.

Seriously? Yeah.

That's good enough.

Give me a piece of tape, couple inches.

Great.

There we go.

Something dad didn't teach us, right?

Son of a bitch.

- Now what are you doing?
- Well, I got to send this to my guy.

You got a guy?

I got a guy.

Sort of like a, like an
op analyst, if you will.

You got an op analyst
for your rewardist hustle?

Well, it's not a hustle.

Right. Okay.

This, this work you're doing,

with Doug and horizon, tell me about it.

Private security, mostly.

Every job's a little different.

Off-the-books stuff?

- Yeah.
- And why does Doug's wife think

that his disappearance has
something to do with horizon?

Tracy hates the fact that
Doug still does this kind of work.

She'd rather him, I don't know,

sell insurance,
something normal like that.

That's not Doug's speed.

And last time you talked
to him, he seemed normal?

I don't know. I wouldn't say normal.

He brought up some old
mission that we'd done in Yemen.

With horizon? No.

No, it was about ten years before that

with our old special ops unit.

Why would he bring that up?

I don't know.

Hey, Bobby.

Is that your analyst?

- Who's that?
- My brother.

Damn, for real?

Guessing colter hasn't mentioned me.

- Nope, he didn't.
- What do you got for me, Bobby?

Right.

I put a face to your finger.

Name's len klavens.

Matched his prints to police records.

Sending it to you now.

Well, that was fast.

What was he arrested for?

Nothing serious.

Public loitering, multiple times.

Is he homeless?

In and out of rehabs.

Now he's in roanoke city morgue.

Died two days ago.

We got to see that body.

Yep.

I got this.

What can I help you with?

Hi... Yolanda.

Well, that is a... that's a beautiful name.

Sadly, we,

we heard about len
klavens, recently deceased,

and, we just need to see the body.

What for?

How do you like working here?

I get a good vibe from you, you know?

Kind eyes, helpful eyes. I like that.

What's he talking about?

The body might be connected

to the disappearance of another man.

I'm sorry, but unless you are family,

I can't let you back there.

I didn't mention.

Cousins.

Look, we just, we just need
a minute or two, you know?

Promise we won't disrupt a thing,

and then afterwards, maybe...

We go grab a drink or a
little somethin' somethin'.

No. Sorry.

That was so close. No.

Can't believe "kind eyes" didn't work.

I didn't see you stepping
up. You got a better idea?

I might.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa.

You coming?

Put your foot on the... I got it, I got it.

There you go.

Stop it.

Great.

Yep, multi-tool. Cool.

Slide it in the frame there.

Yep.

Here it comes.

Nice.

Thank you.

You sure there's no alarm?

- You hear an alarm?
- No.

Just seems easy.

I mean, don't get me
wrong, I'll take the win.

There you go.

- Is this him?
- Yeah.

- Check the hand.
- Yeah.

Mutilated. That's weird.

You ever seen anything like this before?

Freeze!

Whoa, doggie. All right.

Keep those hands up.

I meant what I said, you know.

Kind eyes.

My offer for dinner still stands.

How'd you say we were
gonna get out of this?

Don't worry about it.

Let's just think about this.

Who would send a finger to Doug's wife?

Here we go.

Gentlemen, you're free.

Time to go.

You must be Russell Shaw.

- Reenie Greene.
- You didn't call me back.

- Yeah, sorry about that. Busy.
- Busy working for colter.

Can't imagine the
things he's got you doing.

No, no, no. I do not work for him.

I work with him, honey,
just get that straight.

And only sometimes,
and only when I get paid.

And, trust me, I always get paid.

I'll bet you do.

You have an interesting criminal record.

Disturbing the peace in
tuscaloosa with a speedboat

and a donkey?

- I wouldn't worry about that.
- I wasn't planning on it.

But you do owe me for some
unpaid fish and wildlife fines

I paid on your behalf.

Poaching, nice.

You can venmo me.

Thank you, but, it wasn't
poaching, for the record.

- Are we, - being charged or not?
- No.

I persuaded the prosecutor

that you were overcome with grief

and behaving irrationally.

- Thank you.
- Lucky for you

the prosecutor sympathized.

Said that he also had
some problem clients

when he was a defense attorney.

Fishing for compliments.

I think she's awesome.

So, how can we repay you?

Besides the venmo?
You're gonna buy me lunch

and tell me everything
that's been going on.

Okay.

Well, I know it's not fancy,
but there's nothing better

- than food off a truck.
- This is not my first time.

I'm sure it's not. You might
want to avert your eyes.

I'm a Sriracha on fries kind of guy.

Also, for the record,

it was not my idea to
break into the morgue.

Doesn't surprise me.

What was so important about this body?

Someone sent a finger to Doug's wife.

Okay, was your morgue
friend connected to Doug?

I mean, you worked with him

- for a long time, right?
- Look at you, snooping on me.

I wouldn't call it snooping.

Deep dive is more like it.

Military, post-military,
your extracurriculars.

El Salvador.

And I'm curious about this,

employer you and Doug work for,

the horizon group?

Not much to tell. Checks clear.

Good insurance.

Doug's wife is suspicious, but so far

there's no connection.

Well, then I will reserve my judgement

- until I do some digging.
- Knock yourself out.

Balls.

All right, I got a lot going on at work.

You guys have fun, be careful,

and I'll catch up with you later.

All right. Bye.

So, I'm-a need a sitrep on,

the thing between you and her.

No situation to report.

'Cause I think she is... Impressive.

Thorough.

You saying she's fair game?

I'm saying she's off-limits.

You sure?

Just messing with you. Your face.

Hey, I got a little surprise for you.

Grabbed this from the morgue.

Good thing they didn't strip-search us.

So, our guy died of suspected overdose.

But the disarticulation
occurred... Premortem.

- Really?
- Really.

It say there where the body was located?

- You betcha.
- All right.

Report said our
fingerless body was found

near these dumpsters.

Yeah, well, if they dumped the body here,

they weren't too concerned
with keeping it hidden.

I'm telling you, this new
breed, they don't want to

take the time to do
the job right, anymore.

I mean, back in the day, you know, it's,

it's a shovel, lime, a little acid.

Six feet at least.

Now... Yeah, well,

maybe given the history they
didn't feel the need to hide it.

It's just sloppy work.

Okay, look, let's cut to it.

Ever since we found that body,

I get the sense that you know
something you're not sharing

with me.

There were some guys
in my unit that were,

they were pretty superstitious.

Okay? Doug included.

They were into that woo-woo stuff.

The prayers and, rituals.

Body parts?

Maybe, yeah. Blood magick.

Protection.

Like, I heard there was,
somebody you could go to

to get "blessings."

Blessing?

Doug into that?

I mean, he said a few
things, now that I think about it.

There was this, job we did in Peru.

He brought me to this weird shrine

and we were giving offerings.

I thought he was just messing
with me, but he was serious.

In fact, he paid an old man

to out a curse on one of our targets.

What?

It's the same star and moon on the box

- with the finger it.
- Yeah.

Let's go check it out.

Yeah.

What can I do for you?

Looking for some help.

What sort of help?

Protection.

I think what my brother
means is a blessing.

A strong one.

That's what you do here, right?

Well, that depends.

How did you hear of our services?

A friend said that, this was the place.

Follow me.

I got your blessing.

- Easy.
- We can do that.

On your knees.

Cop.

- You don't want to do that.
- Like I said,

get down.

Listen, if you're gonna shoot,

- shoot my brother first.
- Come on.

- Why would you do that?
- We'll shoot you both.

Sort out the parts later.

Well, in that case, on three. Ready?

Three.

Yep, there they go.

What do you think, Colt?
We could probably shoot one.

Maybe ask the other one questions?

Yeah, or we could start loppin' digits.

Start with a few toes, maybe.

Please, we don't want any trouble.

Well, you got trouble.

I'm looking for a friend of mine.

Seen him?

Yeah.

What was he doing here?

He needed protection. He was scared.

He needed help.

Well, he's missing.

So whatever you were
trying to protect him from,

- it didn't work.
- How does this work, you,

you start cutting off fingers?

You kill that man?

No, he overdosed.

So why send the finger to the house?

Once something is asked,
it must be completed.

He wanted a protective talisman

- to keep his wife safe.
- Safe from what?

He just gave us a name, said
this guy wanted to hurt him.

Well, let's have the name.

That'll undo the blessing.

Let me ask you this.

Is there a blessing that can keep me

from squeezing this trigger
and blowing your face off?

He'll do it.

I've seen him do it.

Give me the name.

Give me the name.

Solano.

Carlos so la no.

Solano. You've heard that name before.

Why was Doug afraid of that name?

It's impossible.

Doug and I did a job in Panama.

For this horizon contractor?

Yeah, mission was to neutralize a target.

Kill?

Health alteration, as we like to call it.

Who was the target?

It was a businessman
named moy so la no.

Doug made the kill.

Getting out was a bit
of a problem, though.

So that's what this whole thing is about?

- Revenge for - a botched job?
- It wasn't botched.

Solano's dead. I watched him drop.

- They made you?
- They didn't make me, they made Doug.

He had to go back to the kill spot and...

One of solano's men saw
him and snapped a picture.

Whoa, hold on, hold on a
second. Why did he go back?

It was my fault. It was on me.

I left something at the kill site.

I dropped my knife. I had to make it

to the extraction point, so he went back.

Why didn't Doug come to you?

He probably thought
he could deal with it.

Or he didn't want to flag it with horizon.

Kept a lot of people in the dark.

Yeah, well, that's Doug.

Thinks he can handle everything himself.

Reenie?

Are you still with your brother?

- Yeah.
- Look, I know

you're not big into taking my legal advice,

but if you're planning

to sniff around horizon, think again.

Okay? They're into
some really dark stuff,

and you cannot trust them,
and if Doug's disappearance

has something to do with
them, then I would think twice.

- Copy that.
- What does that mean?

That you hear me and you're
just gonna ignore what I'm saying?

No, it means I hear you, but I
made a promise to Doug's wife.

He's out there, he's in danger.

I'm gonna go get him back.

Okay, you do what you got to do.

Just... keep your eyes open.

Will do.

What does horizon know about this?

They haven't contacted me.

But that doesn't mean anything.

I think it's time we talk to them.

You have a handler?

Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.

Listen, if Doug's out there,

if we're gonna get him back,

we need to know
what we're dealing with.

All right.

I don't appreciate you being here.

I draw a strict line
between home and work.

You understand that, don't you, Russell?

Compartmentalizing?

Well, this couldn't wait.

- Doug Thompson.
- Yeah.

Horizon's already aware

and taking steps to monitor the situation.

"Monitor." you mean "mitigate"?

Monitor, so as to not inflame a situation.

More importantly, to
protect Doug and his family.

Why exactly wasn't I called in to help?

We've decided to keep you clean.

Well, it's too late for that.

As I'm aware. Bringing
your brother into this?

Not the best move.

Well, I'm full of those.

You're also ignorant to wider concerns.

Why is moy so la no a target?

You don't get to ask that question.

I don't work for you,
but what I can do is I can

make sure that whatever
happens to Doug lands at your feet.

You know what, Russ?

Let's get out of here. We'll call reenie.

Have her keep digging.

I would appreciate it if you kept

a tight circle on this, as per your nda.

Well, nda's no bueno now
that Doug's been snatched.

We don't know that.

I think we do.

What is it about so la no?

Come on, we're not gonna stop.

Solano was funding a rebel organization

trying to overthrow the government.

Who hired you to take him out?

A client with mineral interests

in the country they needed to protect.

Client have a name?

They aren't part of this.

They have nothing to do
with what's going on with Doug.

So it's in your best
interest to sacrifice Doug?

I have to answer up.

Let the situation resolve itself.

Come on, Ann, you
got to give us something.

We're gonna do this regardless.

Please, where is he?

Where's Doug?

There's the safe house
outside of Richmond.

He could be there, I don't know.

Thank you.

Kids.

Russell, what are we walking into here?

Just a safe house.

Hopefully, Doug is okay.

Russ?

Clear!

There's no sign of Doug.

Well, if he was here, he
didn't go down without a fight.

Doug was definitely here.

Yeah, looks like he was interested

in this Carlos so la no.

Moy's brother.

Yeah, moy was running
the family business

while Carlos has been in prison.

Got out last month.

So Carlos is after Doug
for killing his brother.

That's why they waited a year and a half.

They didn't just send one
guy here, they sent three.

If they wanted him dead,
they would have killed him here.

My guess, Carlos wants to
kill him with his own hands.

Great, so where'd they take Doug?

That is the question.

That's weird.

Is that a camera?

Yeah.

See if it recorded anything of use.

Nice.

Look, I think it's time we
call in law enforcement.

- That's funny.
- Look around you, man.

We're in over our head.

Colter, horizon is

an above black ops
contractor for the government.

When they want plausible deniability.

That's right, they want
to clean up a mess,

and they want zero blowback?

It's just you and me, man.
No one's coming for us.

Hey, if you want to
tap out... I don't tap out.

I didn't think you would.

I just want you to know
what you're getting into here.

What you got there?

It's a... Knife dad gave me.

You know, he said

it was one of the few
things a man could count on

for protection and shelter and food.

He didn't make you carry one of these?

Yeah, well,

I don't even know why
I've kept it all these years.

I don't know. It's been
with me everywhere.

Yeah? That's the knife
Doug went back for?

I told him it was nothing.
But it has my name on it, so

I get it. It's important to you.

There's not a lot of things
you can count on in life.

It's good to have you back, bro.

I never left.

You know what I mean.

So, what's... What's your plan, man?

What's-what's the exit plan here?

I don't have one.

You do?

Yeah, I'm gonna open up a little brewery

someplace nice, you know?

Have a tasting menu,

a little farm-to-table action...

It's gonna be awesome.

You're gonna join the
food service industry?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

You've had my beer. It's
good. Better than good.

It is. It's good.

Really, no plan?

No-no exit strategy. This is it.

This is it. You know?

Open road... Wouldn't
want to be anywhere else.

Well, strokes for folks, I suppose.

Yo.

Bobby, what do you got?

All the good stuff, my friend.

Got that camera footage you wanted.

Anything interesting?

Yeah. Three guys

pulled up to the safe house in a blue Van

about six hours ago.

But only two of the
same dudes came out.

Anybody with them?

Yeah, they're... Dragging some dude

with a hood pulled over his head.

They've got Doug.

Not for nothing, but these
guys looked like pros.

Only got a partial plate,

but I'm thinking it belongs
to this pacora grove, llc

with only a p.O. Box listed.

All right, thanks, Bobby.

Well, well. We meet again.

Russell.

Okay, let's focus up. They have Doug.

I know. Bobby sent me the footage.

- Need to move fast.
- Already on it.

'Course you are.

I called my friend at the FBI,

and this is what he gave me
on Carlos and moy so la no.

I know that giving
this to you is a mistake,

but if I didn't,

I figured you would
just break in somewhere

and then you would get caught,

and then my weekend would be ruined.

I would make it up to you.

Not necessary. Really.

But the offer's there.

Okay, the Van that
took Doug was registered

to a pacora grove, llc...

- Any mention of that in here?
- Yeah.

Actually, the llc belongs

to a lieutenant of Carlos so la no.

And he also happens
to own a vacation home

in the blue Ridge mountains.

Which is less than
three hours from here.

Have fun, boys.

Let's go.

Let's go? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

This so la no guy, he's
gonna have security.

You realize that, right?

You can't just go in there guns a-blazing.

You're gonna need backup.

Your backup's gonna need backup.

I got you.

You and me.

Come on, we'll go get geared up,

we'll go get Doug.

We'll do it alone.

Come on, man. You good?

Let's go.

Check this out.

Looks like they got
their own landing strip.

Yeah, that's probably why
they brought Doug here.

So Carlos can kill the
man who killed his brother.

Doug could still be alive.

Let's just hope we
got here before Carlos.

We got a guard, 11 o'clock.

I got him.

I'll be right back.

Well done, Russ.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Few more inside.

I still like our odds, though.

You good?

I'm good.

Let's go. Let's go.

He's not stopping!

He takes the center... And he scores!

Straight to the top... as the score is now

two to zero.

What an unbelievable...

- No Doug.
- All right, let's go.

You hit?

Yeah.

Let's see.

It's fine. It's just the arm.

You don't look fine.

I'm fine. Let's go.

Come on.

Hey.

It's him. Doug.

- Doug, hey.
- Man.

Russ.

I got you.

We're gonna get you out of here, okay?

My-my wife?

She's fine. She's fine.

She's good. Come on.

- I'm sorry, man.
- I-I know.

I didn't tell you about so la no.

You good? You good?

I got you. All right?

He's on his way.

Come on.

Let's go.

All right, Doug. In you go.

Easy.

Let me see that.

It's fine... It's fine. All right.

At least let me clean
it and wrap it for you.

Yeah.

All right.

You know the drill here, right?

It's gonna burn like hell.

Yeah. Just do it.

Here we go.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Well, little bit.

Yeah. Sorry.

You're gonna have to see a
doctor. You know that, right?

Yeah. I'll do that later.

Listen, I'm gonna need you to
get Doug home for me, will you?

The hell you talking about?

I got a little unfinished
business I got to take care of.

Talking about killing so la no?

Come on, man. Don't be dumb.

We got Doug.

- We just walk away.
- No.

I wish it were that easy.

I got to get back there.

Just like that.

This is goodbye?

Hell no.

No, no, I'll... I'll come find you.

Talk about that exit plan of yours.

Something that doesn't
involve dragging a trailer

all over the country.

I told you, I'm fine.

Yeah.

It's very on-brand.

Hey, man.

Thank you. 'Kay?

I'll see you when I see you.

Hold on a sec.

How do I look?

Well... I think... Good, considering.

Honestly, I think she's
just gonna be happy

to have you back home.

Thank you.

Just... thank you.

Where's Russell?

I don't really know.

It's hard, isn't it?

The half-answers?

You'll get used to it.

Can you stay for a while?

Thanks, but I got to... I got to go.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you're home.

Scuse me.

I'm looking for a man who's
been staying here. Russell Shaw.

He checked out a couple days ago.

Are you colter?

I am.

He left you a package.

There you go.

Thank you.
