Previously on Tracker.

Randy, my man, please tell me that Renie's finally found an office space

that meets her standards.

That's a big no.

Well, the hunt continues.

Okay, so you are officially on the market again. Why?

Are you selling? Our in-house investigator asked about you.

Saw your name on the Prater-Rockwell file. I guess you guys went to school

together. What's his name?

His name's Adam Shevlin.

Oh. Uh-oh.

You know him.

First thing is, I have to get my late father's old truck up and running, and

then we'll see.

You gonna tell me why you had me go down to Echo Ridge to get that piece of junk?

Uh-huh.

Belonging to my father.

Spent a lot of time on this thing. Working on it with my dad.

I'll get you up and running again.

I can drive.

No, you can't.

Oh, fine.

You gonna tell me what's wrong?

Not that's wrong.

If you're still pissed that I danced with that girl, she dragged me out

there. We were in freshman biology together. I don't even remember her

name.

Okay, maybe I had too many IPAs. Sorry. No, that's not it. Okay, so I'm just

supposed to read your mind now?

Why don't you just tell me what's wrong?

Sherry.

Is that what this is about?

Sherry?

You have been texting her all night. It's for work. You know that. At 11.30?

Sometimes.

Hey, hey, what? You're lying.

What the hell?

Don't be a freaking... No, go ahead. No. Go ahead. I know you want to say it. I'm

getting out. Fine. Go ahead. Walk home. Fine, fine. I'm not doing this. Then

don't.

Look who's back.

Yeah, I was in the area, you know.

You sure are.

Those parts work out?

Yeah, all but the one rotor, actually, yeah. We got plenty more of those.

Sounds like you're making progress.

Slowly but surely, yeah.

Let me guess, fiber control unit and a carb?

Both, actually, yeah.

I've got two carbs ought to be in decent shape.

You can take your pick.

Anything else?

What else? Oh, bench seat. Ah, a seat in any kind of condition for that truck?

That's going to be tough.

We can source a seat. No biggie.

There's a finder's fee for sourcing.

Of course, you know all about finder's fee.

Sorry. I told him what you do.

It's okay. We can forego the fee. I can just give you a deal on my latest.

I call it spooky action at a distance.

Okay. See, you turn this right here.

Uh-huh.

And it opens the mouth over there.

Waiting. Well, it was working yesterday.

You know, I've got more in the bag. Dad, you're wasting Coulter's time. I'm fine

on time, actually.

They do not need to be played. You can tell him now. No, I would love to see

them, really.

Come on, let's go find those parts.

All right, well, I'll poke around for that seat for you. Thank you.

Is that a new truck you're driving?

It is, actually, yeah.

Still getting used to it a bit.

You've got a good eye.

Yeah, my dad taught me how to profile a guy, you might say, off of what he

drives.

Really? Mm-hmm.

How am I doing?

You pass.

Now, a convertible or Italian sports car, and I don't know.

Get that.

Listen, if you need to stay here and hang out with your dad, I can... I need

a break from that office.

Dad, he's got a lot of theories.

I bet he does. We're all doomed.

Oh, okay.

He might actually be right about that.

So, how's the job search going, by the way?

Well, I've been on a few interviews, but nothing real.

He's something that's robot and AI proof.

You're like, this is that?

Yeah.

Even robots don't want to listen to my dad's conspiracy theories. Oh, he loves

having you around.

Yeah, too much.

This was just supposed to be temporary after my mom passed, but here I am.

All right, here you go.

Take your pick.

I would start with that one right there.

Okay.

Snake check.

Huh.

Be surprised what we find out here. Yellow jackets, raccoons.

Not to mention the weird stuff we find in the wrecks.

Yeah, I can imagine.

I found a hand once.

Just a hand? Yeah. Huh.

Called the police. They came.

Looked around for like five minutes.

Found the other hand.

And that was it.

Well, I tell you what, if I find a body missing two hands, you'll be the first

one to know. Please don't.

You know, there's this great barbecue place not too far from here.

They have bands on the weekend.

Oh, you're asking me out. Just saying.

It's kind of a local spot.

Casual.

Casual?

Well, yeah. I think we should definitely check it out.

I'd like that.

I would like that, too.

Randy, how's the new office search going?

Honestly, not too good.

I know Reni wanted an upgrade, but it's like every place we see, she finds

something wrong with it. Yeah, she knows what she likes. Well, she definitely

knows what she doesn't like.

Carpets with print.

Dropped ceilings.

Recessed lighting.

Oh, and she hates every shade of gray, ever.

You calling just to commiserate?

No, I'm wondering if you're up for a job.

What do you got?

Logan Carson.

His wife drove off last night near Hopper, Texas.

No one's seen her since.

Hopper, Texas. I don't know it.

No reason to. It's some nothing burger place in the middle of nowhere, 20 miles

north of Amarillo.

They from there?

No, no. No, just passing through.

For the record, he did sound pretty shook up about the whole thing. Wasn't

making a whole lot of sense, and he's looking for somebody fast.

Offering 10K?

Yeah, it could be there in a few hours. I'll send you what I got. All right.

Thanks, Randy.

Okay, okay.

Verdict?

No.

It has a weird chemical smell.

Screwed you.

Okay, so I'm taking it off the list.

Oh.

Maxine. Yeah, I confirmed for five, and you've got Magnuson in an hour. The

brief's at the top of your inbox.

Perfect. Okay, and can you handle the next tour?

Yeah, it's no problem.

What about me?

I think Mel has it.

She knows your needs.

Copy that.

You can come if you want. Oh, no, I got a job at Coulter.

No, you don't. Yes, I do. For real. He's on the way.

Plus, you are apparently already aware of all my needs.

Yes, yes I am.

Logan. Culture Shaw.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah, you bet.

Okay. Menu?

I already ate, but I'll take some of that coffee, please.

Thank you.

So if you don't mind, I'd like to get started.

Yeah. All right, so you and your wife get into an argument, and she drives off

without you. That was 12 hours ago, right? It was my fault.

We were coming back from a high school reunion in Midland.

And I had a few drinks, and I... I kind of blew up at her when she accused me of

having an affair.

Are you having an affair?

No. Of course not.

But she found some texts from a woman that I work with, and I get it. It

didn't look good, but I would never cheat on her. Can you tell me about the

driving off part? What happened there?

Britt threw my phone out the window.

And it kind of went from there. You know, I told her I wanted to get out of

the car, and then I did.

And I thought that she was just going to turn around and she was going to come

get me and we'd make up, because we always do.

And when did you start realizing something might be wrong?

It took me a while to find my phone, and then I started calling her, and she

didn't answer, and then she didn't get home.

We have security cameras in Doorbird, so I would have seen her.

I've tried calling her friends.

Her family, nobody has seen or heard from her.

Is it possible your wife left you?

Maybe she doesn't want to be found?

No.

No, it's always like this with us. You know, we fight, we make up, but we're

good.

Really, we're good.

You called the police?

Well, I went to the local sheriff's office.

I got as far as the front desk lady. She referred me to family services and...

What do you think happened?

I don't know.

Look, I don't know what else to do.

Just help me find my wife.

I'm gonna do everything I can for you.

I got my guy looking into her phone, the GPS on the car, but until we get a

hit... I'd like to get a sense of the timeline. So when you get out of the car

last night, that was, what, that was around here? Yeah, I mean, I think it

was dark, so it's hard to say exactly.

And she headed north?

Yeah, yeah.

What is it?

I don't know yet.

I've been up and down this road.

It's like she just vanished.

She could have pulled off here, right? Be a good place to turn around.

Tempered glass, maybe from a window?

From Britt's car?

Was there an accident?

No, I don't think so.

Why would her window be broken, then?

I think someone else was here.

Open the door.

There's boot prints here.

We got blood.

Why would this guy just be on the side of the road?

Maybe he's injured. He saw Britt pull off.

The boot prints end at the door, so... Oh, God.

I'm thinking he smashed her window, forced himself inside the car.

I think someone took her.

Randy, Britt was carjacked. You get a location on her car?

Phone's offline.

Car's GPS is out.

Could be somebody pulled the fuse on the TCU.

Last time it pinged, she was headed into town.

What's in town?

Not much.

Few stores not far from where you are.

All right, send me the place it last pinged. Already on the way. Thanks,

Randy. Here we go

Spreads from there

What's

that fuse the cars GPS guys smart he didn't want to be found

where'd they go

Follow me.

You have a break-in?

Yeah. Last night.

Don't know what this town is coming to.

Your cameras catch anything?

Nope. Knocked it out on their way in.

What'd they take?

I already gave the sheriff that.

We're looking for a missing woman.

That's got what to do with this?

My wife.

She disappeared last night from the main road back there?

We think she came here.

You think?

How's that?

We tracked her to your parking lot.

Sheriff Danaher thought it was pill heads from over in Lavery.

Is that what they took?

Oxy, alcohol, gauze, a bunch of bandages, first aid supplies.

Probably cut themselves up pretty good getting in.

Say your wife might have been here.

Yeah. Well, then I'll pray for you.

I got a nephew who's all turned around on the narcotics. No, she's not like

that. For your sake, I hope not.

But it takes all sorts these days.

I'm sorry, one last question. This taco truck here, was that here last night?

Yeah, owner hasn't had it out in a couple weeks because of this heat wave.

Okay, thank you very much for that. I appreciate it.

Yeah, okay.

Hey, what's up, man?

You found Britt?

No. No luck finding her yet. I think she was kidnapped. They used her to break

into a pharmacy.

Just random?

Looked random. I think she turned around to go get her husband. She encountered

this guy. I think he was pretty badly injured, judging by the scene.

No cameras at the pharmacy?

No cameras at the pharmacy, no. But there is a taco truck with a dash cam.

Wondering if you could hack into it. Yeah, send me the plate. And to pick up

the camera, you can get one.

All right, here we go.

Getting into the feed.

Okay, we got something.

I'm linking us up.

All right, I got it.

I'm gonna check around midnight, will you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

There, there, there's Britt.

Well, who the hell is that?

I don't know.

Okay, stop it there.

Randy, can you zoom in on that guy, see if we can get a facial recognition?

No, it's too dark.

Pushing resolution to the max already.

What about his shirt? Looks like there's something there.

Yeah, I see.

See if I can get a match.

Okay. Looks like it's a registered logo for a local land development company

near town.

Some of their property butts the road where Britt went missing.

I'm gonna head back there now.

Yep. Thanks, Randy. Appreciate it.

Call the sheriff. No, no, I'm coming with you. No, no, you stay here.

Call the sheriff.

What do I tell him? You tell him that you think your wife has been kidnapped

and she's being held hostage.

Call him now.

Please don't hurt me.

That's good enough.

You asked me, please just let me go.

Please.

Put the duffel bag in the hole.

Bury it.

That's good. That's good.

Now what?

Are you gonna kill me?

Unless you do something stupid.

I still need your help.

With what?

There's a man looking for me.

He'll kill you and me and anybody else who gets in his way. I'm not part of

this. You are now.

You are now.

I know somewhere we can go, Laylo.

But I need your help with this.

And then you let me go?

You have my word.

Now get up.

Did you explain to me again how the hell you happen to be here, Mr. Shaw?

Looking for a woman named Britt Carson.

Her husband hired me to find her.

Mm-hmm.

And what's that got to do with this?

Whoever took her was here.

They were badly wounded. They made it to the road.

And that's where they met up with Britt.

Yeah. You sure she's not mixed up in this? I'm sure.

So this fella that got her and took her, he was on the run, and then he just sort

of happened upon this missing wife of yours. Like I said, badly injured.

He used her to break into a pharmacy, get himself patched up. Okay.

What then?

Well, yeah, then I don't know.

This new drug business, they don't play by the old rules.

No, they don't.

Savages.

All of them.

It's a blood trail.

It's from here back to the road.

I didn't find any money here, so I'm guessing he still has it. Yeah.

So... So that's our killer.

Not so sure about that, actually.

Maybe he was running from someone.

Who?

All these wounds here, right? They're from a rifle.

Which means... Somebody was waiting up here to crash the party.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, this is where he shot from. See this? Look at these marks right

here. He used a bipod.

They were sitting ducks.

My boys are working until the state gets in here.

My guess is it's gonna go back across the border always does We're saying

here. Let me show you this On this photo here. This is in the cab of one of those

trucks down there, right? Look at this guy not one of the victims He's not one

of the bodies.

I'm pretty sure he works for whoever owns his land Mm-hmm. So you're thinking

he could be the guy right off could be well Like I said, my guys are on it

Thank you for your help

I'm not trying to get in the way. I'm just trying to find bread.

Yeah, yeah.

I understand.

I told you, don't do anything stupid.

So if I could just get a list of employees that work for this development

company, I'll be out of your way.

Run, Meyer.

Can you get an employee list?

I mean, there's a lot of guys coming and going, but I'll work on it. Yeah, he'll

work on it. If we get anything that you can use, we'll let you know.

Thank you.

Hey,

Shaw.

If you get a bead on that missing woman, we want to be the first people to know

about her.

You hear?

Yeah.

Got a facial match on that photo that you sent. Guy's name is Cyrus Trotzig.

So he's got a record. Oh, yeah. Heavy dude.

Possession, distribution, assault with a deadly weapon.

He's injured, so he'd need assistance.

I wonder where he'd go.

Can you check the area, see if there are any properties under his name? Yeah, I

already did. Not local, but he's got an uncle that owns a bunch of property

outside of town. Just sent you a pin.

Got it. Headed there now. Thanks, Randy.

Do it.

Why were you driving alone so late at night?

I wasn't.

I was with my husband, but he... We had a fight.

And he got out of the car?

Why?

I might have thrown his phone out the window.

You had a reason?

Yes.

would do that there's things you do as a man and things you don't

Once this is done, are you... gonna let me go?

It depends.

It's not that simple.

This isn't finished yet.

This is about what was in that bag, isn't it?

That's why you hid it.

Smart girl.

I swear, if you let me go, I won't tell anyone.

I can't.

Not yet.

This is not the business, right?

Please. I don't care about what you've done in the past. I want Britt.

Let me go. Shut up!

Hey,

you look like you'll be okay.

I am now.

Well, that was a close one.

Lucky you were here.

Great work.

I wish I could have taken him alive.

Well, you did what you had to do.

This ain't over yet. Still gotta track down that shooter and the missing money.

Bruce says it's in the desert.

I got the feds coming in.

I'll download them.

Glad you were here to help.

Both of you.

Yeah, found them on the employee list.

Got them the same clues as y'all. Well, you should get back and start working on

the paperwork before the state boys come in and make a big mess. Yeah, I know.

Can't thank you enough.

Thank you.

Hey, um...

No more car fights.

Oh, yeah, it's got sauna.

Yeah, you take care of each other, right? Yeah for sure Unfortunately, your

vehicle is now evidence.

I'm gonna find somebody give you a lift back. Well, I'll take him I'm heading

back to town. We'll get somebody from the station and drive you back home.

Hey, thanks Great work, Mr. Shaw

Give me a minute

Randy, I need to know where Brunmeier's headed right now. Oh, what? What

happened? I thought this was done.

Brunmeier's at the massacre.

He was the shooter that ambushed the drug deal.

I think he took out Cyrus just to cover his tracks. Did you tell the sheriff?

I don't know who I can trust right now. Listen, Randy, Brunmeier's got Britt and

Logan right now.

What's he need them for?

He knows where the money is.

Okay, I'm on it. Yeah.

He said he's got Logan with him.

All right, Logan's phone's headed into the desert.

Send me that pin? Already did.

Thanks, Randy.

You all right?

He went up the ridge.

I tried to stop him.

Hurry, please. Yeah, help is on the way.

Thank you,

sweetheart.

See? That wasn't so hard, now, was it?

You're not going to get away with this.

Maybe, maybe not, but I like my odds.

That's all I got to do is make it across the border.

I got something to take care of first.

No, no, no, no, no. You stay down. You stay down.

Jan's on your back.

Go on.

Easy.

It's okay.

Easy.

Please. Please, my husband. Your husband's okay. He's alive.

He's safe. Ambulance is on the way.

It's over.

It's over.

Look at you.

All grown up.

Makes two of us.

Are you working here now?

Yeah, yeah, occasionally.

I pick up investigations for the firm when they need somebody who is charming

and ethically flexible.

Well, they definitely got the right guy.

Max didn't tell you I asked about you?

She did.

It's just one of those small world moments, you know?

Sitting there with Maxine and her team, and your name gets brought up.

It's like, what do you call it?

Kismet.

That's one interpretation.

Hang on, hang on. Look.

I know I was a jerk.

Made a mess of things.

It's on me.

Okay.

It wasn't all bad.

A lot of it was good.

I remember.

Why don't I take you out?

There's no agenda.

Just... It's great seeing you. I'd love to catch up.

No spot.

Makes a killer martini around the corner.

Is that still your favorite?

Beats your dad's liquor cabinet.

You do know that it's the middle of the day.

It doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother you.

Then what, Adam?

You convince me that you've changed, then we both act surprised when you

haven't?

It's not a no, by the way.

That's not... I think it's best we keep things professional.

Okay. Like you said, all grown up now.

Not kids anymore.

Professional.

Sorry I didn't let you know my plan. I didn't know what I was dealing with.

It's on me.

I should have seen what was going on.

The owner of the property was getting kickbacks from the drug runners.

Grunmeier must have figured out the place was a way station, saw an

opportunity, took it.

Some bitch gets out of the hospital, he's got a lot of questions to answer.

He does.

I'm going to open up an investigation in the department.

Make sure the rot doesn't go any deeper.

Good luck with that, Sheriff.

Thank you, Sean. All right, take care of yourself.

Hey. Good news. My dad found that bench seat you were looking for.

I'm going to need some work.

We'll order it. You can come take a look when you're in the area next.

Well, that is good news.

Might be a while for me, though.

Just to let you know, we've got a policy. We can only hold it for two

weeks. No pressure.

Oh, I see. Okay, well, maybe we get that dinner on the book sooner rather than

later.

I'd like that.

Yeah, I'd like that, too.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
