Part two of CBS’s Tracker season three finale opens with Colter (Justin Hartley) learning Danny pressed the button and refused to leave because he needed to help his friend, Lola. Lola, another test subject, is currently strapped to a chair and pleading with the researcher, promising to do better. When he refuses to release her, Lola informs him two men are coming for him.
(The following is a recap of season three’s finale, “The Best Ones,” and there are spoilers.)
Russell (Jensen Ackles) barges in and together he and Colter shoot anyone who tries to stop them from rescuing Danny. They make it to Colter’s truck, but Danny stops and won’t go any further until they retrieve Lola. Danny confirms she’s a precog, different from the rest of the subjects. She’s currently being held at the “Quiet Place,” but Danny doesn’t know its location.
They decide the best option is to take him to Dr. Serena Jukic (Jeri Ryan), who can help him do a remote viewing session. Dr. Jukic asks for forgiveness, and Danny assures her he forgave her a long time ago. She assists with the remote viewing, while Russell confirms he’s a believer and believes that Colter needs to stop being so negative. Colter swears he has a plan for what to do after they rescue Lola but won’t tell Russell what it is. Russell also has a plan and after declaring he won’t say what it is, he immediately explains his plan.
They need to “unalive the head of the snake,” which means they need to find the head.
Speaking of the snake, they’ve discovered the friendship between Danny and Lola.
Danny’s provided enough details on Lola’s location for Randy (Chris Lee) to start a search. The exact combo of Danny’s description points to a single spot 100 miles from their current location.
Felton (David Costabile), Russell’s agency source, wants to meet because he might know who the head of the snake is. After a brief discussion about who gets the cool truck and who gets the not-so-cool Subaru, Colter heads out to save Lola and Russell leaves to meet his source.
Felton warns Russell that DORIX Logistics is hunting him and Colter. DORIX has a “don’t look, don’t tell” agreement with the DoD. He also confirms a man named Damian Vickers has been commissioned to kill the Shaw brothers. Felton suggests that Russell leave this alone and that no matter what he has planned, he can’t escape DORIX’s reach.
They’re ambushed as they are talking, and Russell’s able to get away after being shot in the shoulder. Unfortunately, Felton’s killed with a bullet to the face.
Colter makes it to DORIX’s secret lair and spots multiple guards on patrol. He takes out two before entering the building and then knocks out a scientist and another guard before spotting Lola. She’s being taken away by Vickers (Chido Nwokocha) when Colter attacks. It’s quite a struggle, but Colter ends it with two bullets to Vicker’s chest. He grabs Lola and doesn’t see Vickers is fine; he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Lola insists she’ll never be safe and tells Colter the man’s still alive. She just knows it.
Russell calls Reenie (Fiona Rene) asking for her help tracking calls to a cell phone he grabbed off one of the men he just killed. He doesn’t want Colter or Randy to know the number he’s providing came from him. Russell warns her to be safe and doesn’t say that he’s been shot.
He breaks into a warehouse and is in bad shape, leaning against a wall, when Colter calls. Russell reveals he was ambushed and that there’s a hit out on them right now. Vickers is ex-Delta and he’s hunting them. Russell finally admits he’s been hit, and Lola tells Colter that his brother needs him.
DORIX’s head honcho McIntyre (Glenn Morshower) isn’t pleased that Vickers let Colter and Lola get away. Vickers promises he’ll take care of the situation. McIntyre provides Vickers with Russell’s current location, and Vickers swears he’ll get rid of him.
Colter and Lola find Russell and realize he’s lost a lot of blood. Russell demands an anesthetic, calling his bro a psychopath for not wanting him to use it. Lola advises Russell that he’s going to live, but Vickers is on his way and not alone.
Russell’s fixed up enough to hold a gun and cover one of the entrances. Vickers arrives with four men, and Russell sees their feet run by through an opening under a door. He takes out one and searches for the others.
Three men approach a location where they believe Lola’s hiding and one of the men pumps bullets into it. Lola’s not there because her precog abilities led her to a better hiding spot.
Colter uses the distraction to shoot the three men while Russell’s quietly waiting for Vickers. Unfortunately, when he spots him, blood from his wound gives away his perch above Vickers. Vickers doesn’t act like he’s seen the blood, and he and Colter make their way quietly through the building. Vickers gets the drop on Russell and orders him to give up Colter’s location. As a reward, he’ll get a quick death. Russell doesn’t, and Vickers prepares to shoot him in the head from behind. Before he pulls the trigger, Colter shoots him once but doesn’t kill him. He leaves Vickers alive to ask who put out the contract, only killing Vickers once he reaches for his weapon.
Russell asks Lola if he’s still going to live and Lola replies, “I’m sorry I can’t see anything.” Russell takes that as a no.
Colter and Russell split up to finish the job. Colter takes Lola back to Dr. Jukic and Danny and has Barbie Lee (a forger introduced in season two, episode eight) meet them there. Barbie (Freda Foh Shen) assures them she’ll give them new identities so airtight no one will ever find them.
Colter thanks Dr. Jukic for providing him with answers about his dad. She hugs Colter, and Barbie warns him she’s sending him a bill.
Russell finds the head of the snake, McIntyre, thanks to the phone he pulled off the man who murdered Felton. Russell knows if he kills him, the agency will be after him. And if he leaves him alive, he’ll also be hunted. Before he makes his decision, McIntyre hands over Ashton’s file. After scanning it, Russell calls it BS, but McIntyre insists what their dad did to Colter is true. McIntyre believes Russell doesn’t want Colter to ever see this file. If Russell fixes a problem for him, no one will ever know what Ashton did. Russell can take the file with him and burn it.
Russell agrees without knowing what the job is.
Russell calls Reenie and quickly explains he needs to leave for a while, and Colter can’t know why he’s leaving or where he’s gone. He promises when he’s finished, he’ll reconnect and tell her everything.
Colter heads to a remote location that he considers his “home.” It’s got a large outbuilding set up as a workshop and when Keaton (Brent Sexton) arrives, he teases that no one has ever seen it and lived to tell the tale. Keaton brought Ashton’s old dad’s truck with him and Colter confirms he’s going to try and fix it up. Keaton volunteers to help him.
As they take the truck apart, Colter finds an old fishing rod that was his dad’s. Keaton reminisces about his childhood and how his dad wasn’t around much. Colter admits he didn’t get all the answers about his dad he was looking for but believes he was trying to do the right thing.
“He was a good man at the end,” says Colter, unaware of the folder Russell was given.
