Previously on Tracker. I know you think I pushed Dad off that cliff.

I saw you there. There was somebody else in those woods that night.

Mom, if there's something that you know about Dad... Colton, for everyone's

sake, leave it be.

The man you saw on the cliff the night Dad died, his name's Otto.

Mom's the one that sent him up there.

You threw my dad off that cliff?

I did.

Why? Because your mother asked for my help.

What's so damn important you came all the way up here to talk about? My

Ashton Shaw.

A lot of those academic types up here, they hightailed it after the accident.

Hey, Russell.

What's your favorite brother?

I found out who Dad was working with before he died.

Serena Yukich.

You call me back.

Wally!

I got you. Just don't move, okay? Hold still.

What do we got?

I can't move my arm. You can't move your arm? Okay, let me take a look.

How's that?

Yeah, it's broken.

All right, look at me. Hey, hey, look at me. What about anything else? Anything

else hurt on your body?

I don't know. Just my arm. Just your arm. Okay.

All right.

I'm going to stabilize the arm before I get you out of here, okay?

I'm not going to lie to you. It's not going to feel good, but it's necessary.

don't want that fracture to shift.

I'm going to put this on you.

Here we go. We're going to go on three. Ready? One, two, three.

You all right?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Slow, deep breaths, okay?

Control your breathing.

Focus on that. You let me do the rest, okay?

How long have you been riding?

Five years.

Five years, all right.

Well, it doesn't look like your bike's going to make it out of here, but the

good news is you are, all right? We'll do it together. Here, some water.

There you go.

Here's what we're going to do. We're going to hike back up that hill.

You're going to make it to your feet here, okay?

Use your legs and your good arm.

Ready?

Nice.

Here we go. Here we go.

Catch your breath.

Good? We got this, right?

Okay, here we go. Put your arm around me.

We're off.

Okay.

Looks like we made it.

Thanks. I don't know what I would have done.

You're welcome.

Wally. Thank you. It's going to be okay.

His arm is broken.

What in the world are you doing here? Come here. I got meat.

Huh? Look at this. Some lamb kebabs with my special rub. I figured you could

whip up some sides.

Yeah, yeah. You don't call, you don't write, nothing?

What's the fun of that? I did track you down pretty easy, though.

Oh, yeah, really.

Gentlemen never reveal the sources.

Okay? You got some brews. We'll get busy on these kebabs.

I got a little Cambodian black can pot peppercorn action, so you're going to

want some beers. Great.

What's happening?

You. Thank you. Now.

What are you really doing here?

Why can't you just drop in on my brother? It's on Dr. Yukich, right?

The details line up. She changed her name, went offline, probably for good

reason. She was working with Dad on that chronostasis project in Alaska.

I did get some intel on what they were trying to do, but most of it was

redacted. Yeah, it's pretty out there stuff.

So where is she? Not too far from here. Huh.

I need to talk to her.

Okay. I'll go with you.

But we need to make a pit stop first.

Echo Ridge.

Might be the last time we see the house.

I need to pick up a few things.

What do you mean?

Mom's selling the place.

I didn't know that.

That's because you two don't talk.

You're right.

Yeah, I need to talk to her.

You're her side.

It'd be good to clear the air, you know? We did.

Look at it now. That's right.

All right.

Smells great, man.

Oh, you're gonna love this.

Not coming?

It's better if it's just you two.

I'm going to give one last look around the place.

Hey, Colter.

Give her a chance, would you?

Yeah.

Put on a pot of coffee.

You still got us all out here trying to figure you out, you son of a bitch.

Yeah, but maybe that's what you wanted.

I don't know.

I keep telling myself it don't matter.

Maybe we're living in some kind of simulation.

But here we are.

No matter where we go, we keep coming back to this place.

Like an echo.

Is that why they call it Echo Ridge?

You probably knew that, though, didn't you?

I know you blame me for what happened to your father.

Russell told me you went to Seattle.

That's right, I did.

I'm sorry that I lied to you.

I'm sorry for all the hurt that it has caused, but everything I did was to

protect you and Russell and Dory.

What can you tell me about Dad's time in Alaska?

Alaska.

I know that the research he was doing was funded by the government.

It was. And maybe... Maybe he was doing work he shouldn't have been doing.

That last summer, when he came back from his time up there, he was changed.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think we all remember that.

Yeah, he was shut down and broken inside. He'd stopped sleeping.

He said the government was out to get him.

You ever ask him why?

He didn't let me into that part of his life. And if I asked too many questions,

he'd just... He'd get angry.

You know, I want you to understand something.

I tried protecting all of you.

But he was spiraling. He had lost his grip on reality. I just had to get you

kids out of here.

Did he hurt you?

He, um... He didn't allow us to leave, and... I had to do something.

You called Otto.

I didn't know what else to do, but... I did not tell him to kill your father.

And that's the truth.

I believe you.

For a long time, you let me believe that Russell was... responsible for Dad's

death. Why did you?

There were forces against your father, and I was scared that they would come

after you and Russell if you started looking into the circumstances of his

death.

I was your mother, first and foremost.

Just wanted my kids to be safe.

Well, I'm glad you're selling it.

Get it through the press store, Mom.

Wow. Yeah.

Remember this hunk of junk?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at this.

Dad said I could have this once I got my license.

You didn't want something that actually worked?

It worked once, didn't it? Remember we took it to the lake, went fishing?

It was a great day.

One of the last great days with him, actually.

Well, didn't it break down on the way home?

You know, it did, didn't it? Yeah.

Remember how crazy he was about his tools?

Oh, yeah.

A lot of rules.

How'd it go with Mom?

Good. I think good.

Thank you.

I'll take that.

All right.

We had a deal, Dr. Yukich. What do you know that I don't?

Got an address.

Northern Nevada.

Pretty remote.

What are you supposed to be doing out there?

Hiding out, considering what it took to find her. Well, maybe it had something

to do with the work she was doing with Dad in Alaska.

Yeah, could be.

Worth a shot. Yeah.

You sure you want to come with? Yeah, I got nothing better to do.

Well, you can't stick around here.

Except this hunk of junk. Ha, ass.

What's dead is dead.

Yeah, so...

Again, it's probably best if you let me do all the talking.

Why? Because you're so good with words?

And women?

Well, can I at least knock?

You might go.

Hi. I'm looking for Serena Jukic. You told us you lived here.

You got the wrong place.

It's protected by Smith and Wesson. We ought to see what Sig Sauer has to say

about that. Well, before we get into all that, look, we don't want any trouble.

We're looking for Dr. Jukic. We were told she lived here.

Used to work with our father years back. We're just looking for information is

all. I already told you.

I don't know her.

Now get off the property.

It's all right, Paul.

Your insurance, boys.

You're Dr. Jukic?

He's called me that in years, but yeah.

I am.

Come in.

Thank you.

Your safety was on, and your fly was down.

You were working at the Chronostasis Institute with our father, David

behavioral biologist.

and Walt Fleming, a neurologist, right? Those two gentlemen, they died shortly

after leaving the Institute.

You've done your research.

What are we working on?

We know it was dark stuff. We just want to know what.

It's not something I'm prepared to talk about.

Well, you didn't have to let us in, but you did.

Must be something you want to say.

Look, we're just trying to fill in the gaps, figure out what happened to our

father that summer in Alaska.

Your father was a difficult man.

Too smart for his own good and stubborn as hell.

And one of the best mentors I ever had.

Truth is, if I'd listened to him back then, maybe I'd be able to live with

myself now.

What were you researching?

Genetic predisposition as it relates to Savant syndrome.

In particular, Ashton's work on the preponderance of the seven Hertz

in the prefrontal cortex and their correlation with elevated abilities.

So you were taking geniuses and you were stretching the limits of their

capabilities. Precisely.

But the university where he was teaching refused funding for his work.

They denied him tenure.

He told me that.

I meant DARPA wasn't afraid of its research.

Neural augmentation, astral projection, remote viewing. We were looking into all

of it. DARPA.

So they weaponized your research, didn't they?

Yes.

You should have known it was psionics.

Psionics? You know, psychics, paranormal abilities, folks at the Pentagon

wanting to keep up with what Russia was doing on that front. And our father

believed in all that?

This wasn't theoretical. We saw it with our own eyes.

Our mother said something happened that summer that he... snapped.

Ashton was uneasy with the real -world application, and...

Then they brought in a new batch of test subjects.

With a high degree of brain plasticity.

You were testing children?

And our father was okay with that? Just testing children?

No. He thought a line had been crossed, but...

We went along with it, and then there was an accident.

What happened?

A child died in Alaska.

She wasn't on my team. We were told that it was due to a heart defect unrelated

to our testing. But your father just lost it.

He tried to have the program shut down.

So they doxxed him, tried to discredit him. They did.

And what about you? You continued with the program?

He warned me, but I...

was young and ambitious, and I didn't listen.

And back then, I truly believed that that child's death was an accident.

So they shut the program down in Alaska, and then what, they just move it?

Yes, and I followed.

And eventually they turned against me when I tried to protect one of the test

subjects.

This kid named Danny Callerman, he was extraordinarily gifted.

He was eight years old when I first met him.

I was told he was an orphan.

You know how that works, Danny?

Off the chart like you, and he had other unique abilities.

I didn't mean to, but I...

They came very attached to him, and I tried to protect him.

We were doing a remote viewing session.

What do you see, Danny?

I'm in my old house.

And I see my mom.

In the kitchen.

He told me his mom was still alive.

I thought he was making it up.

But I went to his old house, and I saw his

mother.

I looked into his background.

He met a boy who died in a car accident with his father.

I learned that the program had staged the accident and killed his father.

They even showed his mother the bodies.

You confront them?

They took Danny away and never saw him again.

I tried to look for him, but they revoked my security clearance and

threatening me.

The same thing they did to her father?

Yeah.

I heard rumors that they'd expanded the program beyond the original six test

subjects, that they'd found success in pairing them up to expand their mental

abilities. What were they using them for?

They were forcing them to use their skills in real -life situations.

DoD applications.

How did you get out?

Wasn't easy.

And then a month after I left, I... heard that his mom had died of a

mysterious drug overdose.

You think that's the program?

I know it was.

I never had children of my own.

But Danny was a son.

To me.

Been seven years.

And I...

Worry about him every single day.

But I know what would happen if I go look for him.

Then we'll try to find him.

Well, I'd love to know how you think you're going to find this kid.

Who's an adult now, by the way, if he's still alive?

Having second thoughts about going along?

Well, I think I've heard enough to know a little hesitancy is warranted, you

know? It's not like we could walk into one of these places and just take him.

Russell, you heard what she said, right?

This guy is like a prisoner.

He didn't want this with his life. They took him. They took a kid.

We gotta at least look for him.

That's what Dad would want.

I guess I can't let you go get your head blown off.

Thank you.

Although I've managed so far.

Barely. Yeah.

Listen, they seem pretty sure they're being watched.

See what Paul has to say.

Sorry about before.

The gun.

It's understood.

So how long have you known Dr. Yukich?

We've been together a couple years.

I know about everything she's been through.

It's what we've been on edge lately.

Okay, and something happened recently?

Got a van in my security cams. Started driving by a few weeks ago.

No license plate.

That's Uncle Sam keeping tabs, letting you know they know. Which means they're

going to know that we were here. Do you have someplace safe you can go?

I can find one.

Let go there now.

There's going to be blowback.

Take this.

If you hear anything about Danny... You'll be the first to know, I promise.

Thank you. Yep. All right, be safe.

Randy Hayes, you got a message?

Yeah, sure did.

Hey, buddy. Good to hear your voice.

Russ Mann.

Good to hear from you, too.

Okay, so I looked into Danny Kellerman, and Dr. Yukich's story checked out.

This article here says that he and his father were killed in a car crash, and

you're saying that it was safe?

I think so, so they could take Danny.

Okay. Well, he'd be about 23 years old right now. I ran his photo through this

aging app just to see what he'd look like today.

Sent you the photo.

Other than that, the trail goes pretty cold.

Now, what about the security footage of the surveillance van?

No windows, no plates. I'd say government.

I hope you double -gloved on this, digitally speaking.

Yeah, don't want to get raw -dogged by Uncle Sam.

So what do you think they were doing there? You mean, best guess, simple

surveillance? You know, let me try something.

Okay.

Interesting. Her Wi -Fi signal slows down whenever the van's near.

The van would have its own Wi -Fi network, wouldn't it? Yeah, it's

sucking up bandwidth from Dr. Yukich's channel.

Yep, or got an IP routing address, and it... It's connected to a Ford E

van. I'm tracking where that is now.

And I found it.

Just sent you a pin.

All right. Got it. Thanks, Randy. Appreciate you.

I'm going to try to meet up with an old buddy of mine, ask him about this little

government project.

Not something I can bring a plus one to, so I'll need you to stand by.

I'll give you a ride. Great.

Got a tingle on file 6AB. Two phones just popped up in her radius.

Well, that's interesting.

One of them is ours.

I'm so shocked.

Okay, we need to escalate this.

Just keep driving.

Who are you? Don't worry about that. Who's your boss?

A lot of people.

I was watching Dr. Jukic.

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

It's good enough. Pull over right here.

Wait, wait.

Jukic. Right, that's... Let me think.

Try that again.

I'll pull the trigger. You understand me?

Put this thing in park.

Good.

And who's your boss?

I don't know.

Just get a list of people to watch.

We get our money on time. We don't ask any questions.

See, I think you do know.

You're gonna give me a name.

Shaw.

Felton.

Thanks for meeting me. I thought you were out.

I am.

Kinda. You know how these things go.

Yeah, I do.

The only reason I'm here is because of what you did for me in Panama City.

Ah. It's to do my job.

Was it more than that?

Yes, it was.

But that's not why I reached out.

Guessing it's not to talk about your feelings.

You know I'm dead inside.

Me too.

Just so we're clear, after this, we're square.

Yeah. It's that bad, huh? Guys have gotten their names on the buy it forever

list for a lot less.

Okay, so this chronostasis program is still active.

Come on, Shaw.

When have you ever seen a covert DOD program go offline?

Good point. Of course it's muted.

Deep black USAP.

Unacknowledged. You feeling my caution now?

If they learn that you are poking around, they will wipe the slate clean

burn anybody else who has touched it to the ground.

Present company, not excluded.

I don't think he was the type to get the yips and fill up your boots.

I'm old.

I've got people who care for me.

A cat.

Even. No need to overshare. My advice?

Stop asking questions.

Trying to save a kid who's in the program, a Danny Kellerman. They

15 years ago.

You know the name?

Yeah. I heard he provided key intel for Operation Red Claw in Syria.

Is he still alive?

Can't confirm that. But even if he were, you know how that goes.

Yeah. Popped, pilled, and then tossed.

If they're lucky, most are decomped. quiet and forever.

Good luck to me then. You're going to need more than that.

Copy that.

Keep my name out of this.

Use my number.

And have a good life.

We'll always have Panama City.

Randy, what do you got? I got Renie here, too. Had to pull out the big gun.

Hey, this is a hell of a mess you and Russell found yourselves in again.

So the company paying for surveillance is a shell.

I won't bore you with the how, but just know they're owned by Dorix Logistics.

They connected to the DOD?

Well, indirectly.

They're a private military contract company.

Their work is classified, but I did find that their main focus is advanced

weaponry. They were having Dr. Yukich watch, so maybe they're running the

thing. I mean, that would make sense.

Which means maybe they know what happened to Danny. Where are they

is in Virginia, but they got buildings all over. Okay, got it. Will you keep

digging? I'm about ready to pick up Russell. Maybe he's got some information

can narrow this down.

How'd we do?

Well, it's as we suspected.

This chronostasis program is still active.

But it's a USAP now.

What's that?

Unacknowledged Special Access Program.

Basically means that the name, the purpose, the funding is all unknown.

There's really only one reason to do that. That's to take a theoretical

program and make it practical. So Dr. Yukich was correct. They're using these

kids for combat. Oh, yeah. Remote target acquisitions, magnetic field

alterations. It's crazy stuff.

You trust this guy?

No. I mean, I don't trust anybody.

But as far as contacts go, I'd say he's 98 % reliable.

Does he know if Danny's still alive?

No, but... But what?

They treat these kids like assets, not like human beings.

They do whatever it takes to get results, so they pump them full of

electroshock therapy, meditative induction.

You think he's dead?

I'm saying I think if he's alive, he's probably broken.

Or foobars all get out. Yeah.

Lola, draw what you see.

I don't see anything.

Remember what I said about lying.

I know you did.

I can't. I don't want to.

Lola, let's not be difficult.

Do you remember what happened last time?

Shit! Now then... Let's you and I get started.

Sort of wonder if Dad ever used us for any of his experiments.

I mean, not that stuff, but remember those little tests he used to do?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The getting over our own fears kind of thing?

The studying the stoic? Oh. Your favorite.

Epictetus? Remember that guy?

I mean, you were always good at that stuff. Me, not so much.

What do you suppose he's doing researching psionics, anyway? I mean,

astral projection and precognition stuff.

Brother, you got no idea. I've seen remote viewing.

I can't explain it, but it worked.

You've seen it firsthand?

I have, yeah. I was back in Yemen.

It was rumored that the Houthis had some big weapons cache hidden somewhere, so

it was our mission to go find it, right?

Someone from Army High Command brings in this guy. He's a little weird. You

know, dead behind the eyes kind of a thing.

They put a map in front of him. He sits down. He closes his eyes, kind of goes

someplace. Then, boom, pops open, points at some random spot in the High Jazz

Mountains, and they tell us to go. Now, obviously, we're thinking this is some

sort of fishing expedition.

It's a waste of our time.

We get to the coordinates, and I kid you not, there is a cave the size of a

warehouse that is filled, filled with all kinds of stuff.

How do you explain that?

Some people are really good at pattern recognition. I would say maybe he's

familiar with the geography, right? He knew what he was looking for, something

remote, something large, something that spot heat imaging won't penetrate. We

had all that information.

Now, if this was something different, it was freaky, you know?

Besides, it doesn't matter if you believe in it.

Apparently, somebody does. They're keeping a secret government program

Yeah, that's true.

And they care enough to kill to keep it secret.

Apparently.

So what's the next move?

Well, I got Rini and Randy chasing down this company I think might be connected.

Dorix Logistics.

Dorix? D -O -R -I -X?

I know that name.

It's a military contractor. I think maybe they're running the whole thing.

I mean, it makes sense. It's a classic move. You know, you take it offshore,

bury it.

The government keeps their hands clean by subbing it out to a private company,

which is really just a front.

I'm thinking maybe they still have Danny.

I've got Randy digging deeper into it.

Yeah, be my guest. Just take whatever you want.

Make a quick call.

What's up, Coulter? I ain't got nothing yet. No, man, it's Russell. The smarter,

better -looking brother.

I think I've got something for you on Dorix.

That's good, because I don't exactly know what I'm looking for. Tri

-pharmaceutical orders related to neurological disorders.

Oh, man.

All right. I got a large order for sedatives and antipsychotics.

Yeah, I mean, they're probably using those to control the subject.

Is that a repeat order, Randy, going to the same location?

Bingo. A couple times a year for the last five years to an address outside of

Twin Falls, Idaho.

And I just sent it to you.

I'm betting that's where they're keeping the subject for the shot.

Yeah, nice work.

You checked in late.

Five minutes.

Shaw made contact?

He did.

He and his brother know more than they should.

Did you tell him what would happen if he didn't stop?

Shaw doesn't exactly grok that concept, but yeah, I laid it out. What about his

brother Colter? Goes double for him.

Well, that's unfortunate, so now I have two problems.

I told you.

I have this handled. Do you?

Russell Shaw put you in. You need to find a way out.

A lot of security.

They're guarding something.

All right. So we wait for him to leave. We matriculate in there. Find Danny.

Bob's your uncle.

I don't think matriculate means what you think it means.

It's Rainey.

Rainey, hey, did you get any information? Hey, Rainey. How you been?

You need to do this right now? What, we can't exchange pleasantries like normal

people? Hi, Russell.

Rainey, did you get any information on Doric?

It looks like they bought out the entire town with some investments and well

-placed donation -specific law enforcement groups.

Let's take a look.

And a journalist who was investigating Dorit went missing last May.

No police investigation.

FBI had a look, but quickly shut it down.

Looks like we're on our own. Looks like it. Keep me posted.

Yeah, will do. Thanks, Rainey.

You want to do this?

Here we go.

I've been trying to reach you.

Just finishing something up here.

Well, we've got another one for you. It's two brothers, Coulter and Russell

Shaw.

Send me the details.

What?

That's far enough.

Drop the gun.

Or what?

Or I put one through your skull.

Last chance before the bullets start flying, friend. Don't do anything

Me?

Never.

Hi, Danny.

Who are you?

My name's Colter Shaw.

Dr. Yukich sent me to find you.

Dr. Yukich?

She told me what they're doing to you.

Come with me. Let's get you out of here.

I'm not going anywhere.

I press this button, and this room gets flooded by a dozen armed guards.

Okay.

Well, how about we don't push the button, Danny?

I understand you're scared.

Look at me. You can trust me.

I will keep you safe.

You don't understand.

I can't leave.
