Previously on Tracker...
I was supposed to pick up my daughter, Hailey.
Now I can't get a hold of her or my ex.
Lisa.
What is it?
Lisa.
You have to save my daughter.
Encryption, rerouted servers, ghost loops.
Nothing I've ever seen before,
but I did find the last phone call that she answered
on her personal phone.
A guy named Raymond Ockman.
So this is the guy that took Hailey?
I didn't have a choice. They're gonna kill my sister.
I just heard from my friend at the Denver Sheriff's department.
Harriet Ockman's body was found an hour ago.
- Yeah, what does that mean, Colter? -Nothing good.
Come on, Colter. Look, Hailey's good. The job was done.
- Is Mom okay? - She's at the hospital.
Hey.
"You have interrupted the Process..."
"...and there will be consequences."
Good night, Nicky.
Good night, Hoppy. Sleep tight.
This can't be happening again.
We have Nicky back.
We did everything we were supposed to.
They sent a text.
It said, "Welcome back to the Process.
Your successor has failed."
What did you have to do?
I had to handle Ockman's sister.
Oh.
We can't do this anymore. We have to call the police.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey. I killed someone, you understand?
You know what happens to people who try to go to the police.
-We'll run away. -They will find us...
...and they will kill Nicky.
-Do you want to risk that? -No.
Then we have no choice. The only way out is through.
All right, Reenie. Keep me posted.
Reenie's at the jail right now.
She's talking to Ockman, seeing if she can get any more information on the Process.
-The guy was terrified when we found him. -So was Lisa.
Random instructions via text
was threatening enough for them to be willing to risk their own lives.
What about the, uh... the messages that we got?
What did the police say about that?
Yeah, they say that Ockman
is a high school Computer Science teacher
capable of setting up the whole thing.
I don't know, something doesn't seem right.
Yeah.
-Randy. -Ah. What's up, man?
You must be Russell? The legend is real.
You must be Randy? Legend is also real.
Oh, well, thank you. I'ma get us some T-shirts.
Can I start you off with something?
Oh, yeah. Hey, um, can I please get exactly what he ordered
plus an extra side of bacon?
And biscuits, and gravy.
And a cinnamon roll.
You think you ordered enough food?
I'm stress eating, man.
All this work I'm doing for you.
-What you got? -Finally traced the sender.
Those messages you got,
the number was spoofed using call hopping,
meaning that it bounced from the original source to dozens of locations
before it even got to you two.
It took a lot of grinding to go backwards, but once I got
to number 105, guess who it belongs to?
Raymond Ockman at his home address.
So he sent the messages?
No. I think it's a mislead
just in case someone like me did a deep dive.
They want us to think that Ockman's the source.
Because here's the thing, the encryption from the sender
to Lisa's burner phone is like ultra sophisticated.
So either Ockman is a computer genius,
and I'm not saying a high school teacher can't be,
or we got something completely different on our hands.
So the Process is real?
We gotta find out who's behind this game. Put an end to it.
- You wanna be my lawyer? - Yes.
Raymond, do you understand what you're being charged with here?
The kidnapping of Hailey Rodgers
and the murder of Kurt Foster,
as well as your own sister?
I would never kill my own sister.
I was trying to save her.
And I could've if those two guys hadn't interfered.
Okay, okay. I believe you.
So who would do this to you, huh?
It's the Process.
I already explained it to the detectives.
I had to follow instructions. I am a victim here.
And why would the Process target you?
I don't know. But they seem to know everything about me.
All right, let's do this.
Raymond, I need you to tell me everything you know
about this Process, okay?
From the very beginning, no detail is too small.
So, when was the first time they contacted you?
Um...
I was, uh, coming home from a school swim meet.
I think that was probably the first time.
Yeah, swim meet. Go ahead.
Do you know him?
Who? The guard? No.
Yes, you do. You just signaled him. I saw you.
Raymond, I was just being polite.
Oh, my God. You're one of them, aren't you?
One of who?
The people running the Process. I should have known.
Coming here offering to be my attorney. They wouldn't let me go.
-Raymond. -It's never that simple!
-Guard. -Raymond.
I'm done here, you can take me back.
Raymond, wait, no. I can help you.
Raymond.
It's a little strange. Here, look at this.
It's the only phone ping without an address, just coordinates.
- Mm-hmm. I noticed that too. - Odd, right?
So I already looked it up. There's nothing there.
-Just an empty patch of land. -Could be worth checking out. Where is it?
- Two hours west in Eagle County. - -Mmm.
Reenie, what you got?
Well, Ockman got spooked.
Everything was going fine until he thought
that I was part of the Process and he freaked out.
Well, they killed his sister. Maybe he thought they'd do the same to him.
Yeah, I mean, he did say that they would never let him go.
She figure out how the Process got our phone numbers?
No, unfortunately.
Hold on a second.
I just got a text from Cal.
Lisa's awake at the hospital. Hailey's with her.
Okay, that's great news.
Yeah, I'm gonna head over there now,
see if I can find out how she got tangled up in all this.
All right, bye.
I'm gonna go check out these coordinates. See what we see.
I'ma stay right here. Sit here, and let my food digest.
Sounds like a plan.
Hey, uh, you think Reenie would be down to drive me out there?
Do I think Reenie wants to be your chauffeur? Probably not.
-No? I'll ask her anyway. -Okay.
Oh, good plan.
I love you, Hailey.
I love you too, Mom.
See you later.
I don't know how to thank you for finding her.
Maybe you could tell me
how you got caught up in all this.
Lisa, I know this isn't easy.
I'm just trying to get some information,
so I can figure out what the hell's going on.
This nightmare started when I got that call.
Hello?
I have your daughter Hailey.
What?
I'm only doing this because they have my sister.
You'll be getting a text message soon
with the instructions you have to follow
if you want to save Hailey.
Who is this?
I'm a victim, just like you.
If you follow the instructions, they'll let my sister go.
You're part of the Process now.
Hailey!
Hailey!
Hailey! Hailey!
Where are you? Hailey!
Oh, God.
Oh, God!
I found Kurt dead.
Oh, God. Hailey!
At first, I thought it was someone shady from his world who did this,
but now I know.
Hailey!
I realized he was just trying to stop that man
from taking Hailey.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I needed money fast.
They warned me about being tracked.
I couldn't use my ATM or bank cards.
I knew Kurt had cash in his safe.
A biometric safe.
That's why you cut off his hand.
I am a surgeon.
I was desperate.
So I went to his apartment and I took the cash and gun from his safe,
bought a burner phone and texted the number I was told to.
That's when the instructions really started.
I had to steal a car,
go to a money transfer place and wire $10,000 to an account,
and pick up an envelope with a key to an office.
I was supposed to find Suite 109,
