Tracker

- Previously on Tracker... - I know you think I pushed Dad

- off that cliff. - Dad? Russell, what did you do?

- I saw you there. - There was somebody else

in those woods that night.

Mom, if there's something

that you know about Dad...

Colter, for everyone's sake,

- leave it be. I've got one hour

before my next class.

Do you want to go through this now or...

Mom know about it?

No.

I can't help but think

that there's something in that box.

My brother said there was someone else in the woods

that night my father went over the cliff.

That was you.

Did you throw my dad off that cliff?

I did.

Why?

Because she asked for my help.

Who asked for your help?

Your mother.

Time for another?

Oh, yeah, sure. Thank you.

You want, I can answer that for you.

Been ringing all night.

It's not important.

Sure it's not your crazy ex?

Mine? 20 times a day.

You should change your number.

No, mine's probably just work.

What do you do?

It's, uh, nothing special.

Liar. Every time you're in here,

your phone's ringing. It must be important.

It's not, but you got a good eye.

Part of my job.

But I get it, you want your privacy.

I'll be right back with that beer.

Oh, watch it, sweetie.

Hey.

Heh, yeah, I got this.

Sorry about that.

Problem?

Why don't you pick that up and we're good?

Well, that's what the money's for.

I don't want any trouble. Pick it up and we're good.

Why don't you sit down, let the girl earn it?

Pick it up.

Okay,

Billy big balls.

Sit down

and let her work. (Chuckles)

And that is for you.

That's a good one, Jonesie.

That's good.

Yeah, good, good.

Russ.

It's good, you're keeping your elbow up, that's, uh...

But you want to hit... wanna hit through your target.

Okay? Not at it. Like this.

- Nice. - Yeah.

You want to rock, paper, scissors for this one?

Sorry about the mess.

Can you do me a favor? Can you, uh, get an ice pack

for my brother's face? Can't have him looking any uglier.

I don't need ice.

Got an IPA?

- We don't have that. - Course not.

No, okay. Maybe a cold beer. Whatever.

You all right?

Never better.

- (refrigerator door closes) - (bottle pops)

How'd you find me?

Well, certain concerned individuals.

- Reenie? - Yeah, and others.

And that is what happens when you don't answer your calls

and generally ghost everyone in your life, Colter.

Nice mugs.

I'm fine.

Sure you are.

Are you gonna tell me what happened at Echo Ridge?

You talk to Mom?

Little bit. Yeah.

She said you were looking into that, uh, box of Dad's stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah, and then you finished the job

and just left without saying goodbye.

I found the man you saw on the cliff the night Dad died.

Go on.

His name's Otto.

Mom's the one that sent him up there.

So, Mom asked this guy to talk to Dad.

I guess it wasn't the first time.

I guess her plan was to leave Dad, take us.

Dad wasn't having it.

He went crazy.

You remember.

Yeah, it was like the worst I'd ever heard him.

And that night, Dad snapped, Mom was scared.

That's why she wasn't there, she went back to Otto,

asked him to talk to Dad again.

He went up on that cliff with him,

tried to tell him Mom was leaving him

and she was taking us.

Things got physical.

He threw Dad over the cliff.

You believe this guy?

I do.

All this time, Mom's been lying to us

about what happened that night.

Did you know any of this?

I already told you I didn't.

I knew there was a guy up there, but I didn't know

any of this.

Look, I was just a kid,

just like you.

I just did what Mom told me to do.

I'm sorry, Russell.

No, it's fine. It's probably not even gonna bruise.

But you did get your elbow up, so that's good.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm sorry I believed

what Mom told us about that night, about what happened.

I'm sorry I ever...

thought you had anything to do with Dad's death.

I'm... and I'm sorry that when you left,

I thought that you just abandoned us.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

She didn't really have a choice,

did she?

Dad was losing it.

I mean, he was losing it, man.

I saw things that you didn't see.

Not to say that we didn't all see things.

You saying he deserved it?

I'm saying what does it matter now?

Was it right? No. Did it mess us all up?

She did what she did.

- Okay? - She did what she did

and she left us to pick up the pieces.

That's the part your forgetting. I stayed, Russell.

And every time I asked her about that night, about what happened,

she shut it down like she wanted to erase it.

Well, you know...

Dad had a lot of problems.

A lot of problems.

Yeah.

He wasn't always that way, though.

No, he wasn't.

Something happened that summer.

Mom doesn't want to talk about it,

she doesn't want to go back there.

But something happened.

And that's why I left without saying goodbye.

I'm sick of the lies,

I'm sick of the...

non-truths.

Well, you know, man, I...

I don't know,

hiding out in Wyoming and getting into bar fights

isn't really the answer, is it?

I did the same thing in Jakarta once. Ended up

in a motel room with my toenails painted

and a monkey sitting on my chest.

I'm serious, Russ.

So am I.

Look, I had to deal with this too, you know.

It wasn't easy.

But you know what I did? I just, uh...

I packed it up, put it away.

Every day...

every day, it got a little easier.

I can't do that.

Pack it up,

put it away. I can't do it. I'm not, uh...

I'm not built that way.

I get it.

Well, look, man, whatever this is, you know,

I'm, uh, I'm officially calling it, brother. Okay?

Time to giddy-up.

- Here we go. - (line ringing)

Russell. - Reenie,

- I got him. - Three weeks, really?

And nothing? No call.

Yeah, um, I'm fine.

Well, I'm not.

I was worried sick.

So you sent in my brother?

Well, it worked before.

I'm sorry, Reenie. I just,

I had to sort some things out, is all.

I won't ask.

I'm fine.

You ready to get back to work?

- Yes, he is. - Not really looking

for a job now, actually.
