CBS’s Tracker season three, episode 10—part two of the midseason finale—picks up with Colter (Justin Hartley) injured and struggling to get out of his truck after being shot at. The truck landed upside down over a cliff, and Colter manages to get Keaton (Brent Sexton) out of the overturned truck. Colter grabs some moss and places it on Keaton’s gunshot wound before taking off to find help.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode 10, and there are spoilers.)
Colter makes his way to parked cars, breaks into one, and grabs a cellphone. He calls 9-1-1 and to get help for Keaton.
Detective Willa Simms (Jes Macallan) reports to Police Commissioner Ross Bogart (Sasha Roiz), informing him Colter’s the one who called for help. She believes the murdered accountant at the lake house is connected to Menassian’s killing but doesn’t understand how it all ties into Colter. Apparently, the FBI is leaning toward Colter being a suspect since he was at Menassian’s murder scene as well as the lake house.
Randy (Chris Lee) shows Reenie (Fiona Rene) a video of Bogart’s press conference naming Emile Lang and Colter as persons of interest. They’re suspected of being armed and dangerous. Neither Reenie nor Randy can reach Colter, and they realize something’s wrong.
Colter passed out next to the car after calling 9-1-1, and when he comes to, he immediately calls Reenie. He believes Lang ambushed him and Keaton, and he’s shocked to learn he’s currently being sought as a murder suspect. Colter’s also surprised to hear the accountant and his housekeeper were killed. The housekeeper was alive when he left, so Lang must have killed her.
Colter asks Randy to send the cops the video of Dobbs killing Menassian, but unfortunately Randy can’t. The video’s been wiped. Colter’s definitely being set up. Before getting off the phone, he warns Reenie not to call his brother.
Minutes later, the FBI arrives at Reenie’s office with a warrant to search for anything pertaining to Colter’s employment. Reenie accepts it but warns them she’ll be observing everything they do.
Billie (Sofia Pernas) picks up Colter since they need to keep his whereabouts hush-hush. They hole up in an Airbnb, and she takes care of his injuries while Colter grunts and nearly passes out. Billie’s able to remove a bullet and promises they’ll figure out who’s setting him up.
Colter thinks Lang’s tracking Cassie Lindstrom, so she must be related to the dead office at a nearby nightclub. Billie does a quick search and learns Cassie is the dead officer’s wife. Colter thinks they should check out the town she moved to after his murder.
Before they can leave, the cops pull up, and Colter decides he needs to go alone. He’ll head to Cassie’s while Billie deals with the police. Billie quickly packs a to-go bag with a burner phone and cash.
Colter barely makes it out before the cops barge in.
Randy manages to wipe his drive before the FBI grabs his laptop. Unfortunately, that means he doesn’t have a way of tracking Colter.
Colter makes his way around Cassie’s place, and it looks like she left suddenly. There’s moldy food sitting out and her laptop is open. He spots a trail of blood in the kitchen and follows it outside. The blood trail stops in the driveway, and he spots a security camera next door. He calls the office next to Reenie’s—basically his way of warning her not to use her office phone to call him. Randy has a burner stashed and Colter gives him info on the surveillance. Since Randy hit his dead man’s switch, he’s going to have to rebuild his system.
Randy borrows a laptop from a friend to look into the security camera and calls Colter. Colter looks through Cassie’s computer and realizes she’s been gone for five days—before any of the murders took place. Randy finds a neighbor’s security camera from five days ago and sees two men take Cassie away in a van. This was before Lang killed the farmer, Menassian, or Dobbs, and may have actually been what set the murderer in motion.
Randy sends Colter details about the van’s owner, a local construction company. Colter doesn’t believe the kidnappers are working with Lang. The kidnappers are trying to frame Colter, and Lang’s not trying to kill Cassie. There’s another player they haven’t identified yet.
Billie picks up Colter after making sure she’s not being tailed. They head to the construction company and find the van in the parking lot, door open and blood on the driver’s seat. Drag marks indicate someone was pulled through the yard and into the office. Inside, Colter finds one of the men who took Cassie. It looks like he was tortured before he was killed.
The dead man is a cop named Dominic Mendoza. Colter calls Randy and Randy discovers Mendoza and Dobbs worked on the same vice task force. Their target was Zahn Menassian. Also, Cassie’s husband was on the same task force before he was killed in the line of duty. Other officers on the task force included Henry Easton, Neil Barton, and Willa Simms.
Simms was the detective who showed up to look for Colter at the Airbnb, and Billie reminds Colter she said Simms gave her weird vibes. Randy notes Simms transferred out of the task force seven years ago. The task force must have been getting kickbacks from Menassian, and now they’re framing Colter. Lang seems to be wiping them out one by one, but it doesn’t make sense that he’d come after Colter and Keaton. Also, why would the cops kidnap Cassie and have Lang start killing people off all these years later? Colter wonders if the task force cops were the ones shooting at him, not Lang.
Billie finds a matchbook from Fireside Bar, so that’s their next stop. Billie goes in without Colter since his facial injuries would make him stand out. She spots a framed newspaper article and sees Lang in the photo, working at the bar and grill. The manager informs her that Lang is a line cook there, using an alias. The article was published two weeks ago, and someone must have recognized him. The dirty cops came there looking for him, setting off the whole chain of killings.
Billie’s forced to lead the cops on a chase away from Colter after they’re spotted in Firestone’s parking lot. Unfortunately, she doesn’t make it far before getting boxed in by Simms and half a dozen other cars. Simms sends out an alert that Colter’s on the run in the area.
Billie questions Simms on their ride to the station, accusing her of being part of a task force that was on the take and being paid by Menassian. When Billie brings up Cassie’s abduction, it’s obvious that Simms doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
Colter locates an unlocked car, hotwires it, and drives off. He calls Randy and tells him Lang was going by the name Benny Sheridan, and Randy doesn’t find any properties under that name. However, he does find a trailer currently parked in an RV park.
Task force member Henry Easton arrives home and discovers Lang (Mark Engelhardt) beat him there and has tied up his wife. Lang asks where Cassie is and Henry claims not to know. Lang informs Mrs. Easton that her husband and his friends kidnapped Cassie to get to him. When Henry asks him to leave his wife out of this, Lang refuses. After all, Mrs. Easton must have known about the kickbacks, given the beautiful house they live in.
Lang admits he killed Officer Jack Lindstrom, believing he double-crossed the boss. He subsequently found out Easton and the others lied. Lindstrom was innocent.
Henry only agrees to talk after Lang threatens to cut off his wife’s finger.
Colter breaks into Lang’s trailer and finds photos of Lang and Cassie. They’re definitely a couple. Colter also finds a box of files from the lake house that includes ledgers handwritten by the accountant. He’s shocked to read one name in particular.
Simms meets Commissioner Bogart late at night in a secluded area. She informs him she learned from Billie that the task force he created was taking kickbacks from Menassian. Bogart pretends to be innocent, but Simms reminds him that he removed her from the task force when she began to ask questions. Bogart warns her to be careful and then pulls his gun, shooting her multiple times in the chest.
Bogart returns to the station and Colter sneaks up on him, ordering the dirty cop to take him to Cassie. They drive to a warehouse and Colter has Bogart uncuff Cassie. Another cop enters, and Bogart yells for him to shoot Colter, but Colter is too quick and takes him out.
Bogart holds Cassie by the neck and threatens to break it. However, Lang also made it to the warehouse and shoots Bogart in the head. Lang puts down his gun and apologizes to Cassie for lying to her; she thinks he’s a line cook named Benny—not an ex-cop.
Reenie gets Billie cleared of any involvement and she visits Colter in Keaton’s hospital room. Keaton’s still not out of the woods but Billie thinks he’ll live. Colter thanks Billie for all her help, admitting he couldn’t have done it without her. Episode 10 ends with Billie agreeing to grab a beer with Colter.
