CBS’s Tracker season three, episode seven opens with a woman watching a program about sharks when she hears loud banging. She grabs a fireplace poker and opens the front door. There’s a fierce wind blowing, and she sees what she believes is causing the noise. However, once she steps back inside, someone breaks through the door and grabs her.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode seven and there are spoilers!)
Meanwhile, Colter (Justin Hartley) meets with Andy, the son of Walt Fleming, at a shooting range in Boston. Colter explains he’s tracking down info on David Pearson, who used to work with Walt. He shows Andy a photo of his dad, Ashton, and asks if he recognizes him. Andy remembers Ashton stayed with them one summer when he was a kid. David used to stay with them often. Andy also recalls Ashton taught him how to shoot a gun.
Walt Fleming was a neurologist, and Colter gives a brief rundown of his dad’s occupational history. Colter believes David was with the DoD and that he died the same year as his dad—2003. Andy was never close to his dad, so he doesn’t know what they were working on, except that they had meetings in his garage. He recalls that he saw them watching tapes of a man hooked up to a machine.
After Andy leaves, a man nearby overhears their conversation and introduces himself as Dale (Benito Martinez). He wonders if Colter can help him find his daughter, Noelle, who’s been missing for two days. The police haven’t done much, and he’s worried because her phone was left behind. There weren’t any signs of foul play. Only the e-bike that she uses for work was missing.
Dale confesses the Boston PD found drugs in her apartment, so they’re not actively searching for his daughter. However, Dale swears his daughter doesn’t drink or take drugs. She was last seen at work on Friday night at Boston Blaze, a weed dispensary. Dale spoke to Noelle’s manager, who wasn’t helpful. Apparently, the manager and Noelle got into it last week when he was late with her paycheck.
Dale is desperate for help and will find a way to pay Colter if he takes the job.
Colter touches base with Reenie (Fiona Rene) and learns Noelle’s boss is Vince Unger. Vince is on parole and has a prior for assault. An ex-girlfriend also took out a restraining order on him. After Reenie hangs up, the camera pans to show there’s a man in her bed and they’ve definitely been drinking.
Colter walks into Boston Blaze and immediately gets into a fight, which isn’t his fault. He gets Noelle’s boss to confess that Noelle didn’t finish her deliveries and never returned with his money. Vince is forced to admit Noelle changed where she was supposed to deliver and went to do drops at the harbor. He has no idea why, and she was acting strangely before she left. Vince thinks she no-showed on at least five deliveries that night. Colter warns Vince never to touch Noelle or her father again, or else…
Colter gets Noelle’s delivery schedule and finds Noelle’s e-bike at the first stop he checks out. Colter heads to the back of the building where deliveries are made, looks at a sign-in sheet, and goes to the unit that was expecting a visitor when Noelle should have been making her delivery. He enters the office of criminal defense attorney Lyle Voss and finds a Boston Blaze bag. Colter dials the number on Voss’ business card and a phone rings nearby.
He tracks the sound and finds Lyle slumped over on the toilet. Colter speaks with Officer Crosby about the death and informs her she’s looking for a missing woman. He found her e-bike and noticed that the window in the office was open from the inside. Noelle or someone else exited via the window.
Crosby thinks Lyle died of natural causes, but Colter points out the bathroom stall door was unlocked. He believes someone might have given Lyle something that brought on a cardiac event. Crosby humors him and says she’ll order a tox screening.
Randy accesses Lyle’s call log and notices there was an outgoing call to a taxi service on Friday. Colter believes Lyle called a cab for Noelle and then instructed her to go out the fire escape. Also, Randy discovered a voice mail Lyle never heard. It’s from Noelle and she sounds scared. Noelle reveals she’s at Lyle’s place, and Colter thinks Lyle wouldn’t have sent her to somewhere so obvious. Randy sees Lyle has a rental property and that’s where Colter heads next.
It’s obvious someone beat Colter to the location. There’s glass from the broken front door on the floor, and Colter slowly walks around, gun drawn. Noelle isn’t there.
Randy calls with news that Lyle’s search history was wiped after he died. However, his LexisNexis account wasn’t erased and the cases he looked at recently all involve the wealthy Bennings family. Colter recognizes the name and looks at Noelle’s recent delivery records. She worked at a party for the Bennings at the Rosewood Chateau on the night before she went missing.
Randy dives a little deeper and finds waiter Aaron Delaney was found dead outside the Rosewood right after that party. Maybe Noelle saw the waiter being murdered and whoever did it followed her and took her.
Reenie’s one night stand showers and prepares to leave, but first he writes down his number. Colter calls and Reenie explains that the Benning family is very influential in Boston, even among the cops and politicians. The case files Randy found are basically NDAs and gag orders, meaning they want to protect their privacy, making it hard for anyone to dig up dirt on them.
Colter’s on his way to the Rosewood when he discovers his brakes have been tampered with. He’s forced to maneuver through traffic, honking at everyone to get out of his way. His truck finally stops when he deliberately drives over spikes.
Reenie meets with Enzo Sousa (Charlie Gallant) to discuss what he knows about the Bennings. Enzo reveals he no longer manages the Bennings’ assets. He’s suddenly nervous and warns Reenie not to mess around with the Bennings. Reenie talks him down, and Enzo says the Benning patriarch, Gene, would do anything to protect his family. However, he wouldn’t have had anything to do with the Rosewood party. That would have probably been Gene’s son, Graham, who has a lengthy history of getting in trouble.
Reenie asks for the name of the person the Bennings turn to to make their problems disappear.
Colter’s brake line was cut and while he’s examining it, an armed man approaches from behind. Colter sees his reflection and takes him down, shooting him with his own weapon. He grabs the man’s keys and looks through his car. Colter looks through his navigation history just as Reenie calls with news that the Bennings’ fixer is MC. She’s a private family attorney, along with being their fixer. Colter reveals his brake lines were cut and the GPS nav shows the man he just shot was following Noelle. Another address on the GPS indicates it’s the Benning estate.
Reenie sends Colter a photo of Graham Benning, the son who’s probably responsible for all of this. Colter drives to the estate in the dead man’s car.
Meanwhile, Graham (Tyler Johnston) tries to force his way into the room where Noelle’s being held, certain he can convince her not to go to the police. Milo (Tobias Jelinek), who seems to be a bodyguard/protector for the family, reminds him Noelle already went to a lawyer so she’s definitely not going to keep quiet. Noelle apparently saw Graham strangling the waiter, and Graham admits he was high and didn’t know what he was doing.
MC (Italia Ricci) walks up and Graham is still upset that they’re going to hurt Noelle. She promises they won’t but after she and Graham walk off, Milo returns to the room where Noelle’s tied up to a chair. He’s keeping her doped up and gives her more pills while she begs him to stop. She insists no one will believe she’s a junkie, but Milo assures her they will.
Graham knows MC’s cleaned up after him over the years, but this time he thinks they should call the police.
Security doesn’t give Colter a second look when he drives up in the dead man’s car. He’s looking around when Gene (Clay St. Thomas) orders him to get to work. Colter explains he’s looking for Graham, just as MC walks up. She claims she hasn’t seen Graham, and Colter refuses to identify himself before walking off. Milo wants to follow him, but MC suggests he get back to Noelle.
Colter grabs glasses from the catering truck and walks through the mansion. He drops them off and looks through different rooms until he comes across Graham, dead in a blood-filled bathtub. Colter calls Randy and reveals he’s certain Graham didn’t commit suicide; it was just staged that way. He believes Graham wanted to come clean, so MC had him taken care of. Colter has Graham’s phone and it has his confession plus a photo of Noelle tied up.
Randy accesses Graham’s phone via Bluetooth and tracks where in the house the photo was taken. They learn it’s from a secure room behind a gate in the northwest corner of the estate. Colter races there and uses Graham’s key to unlock the room. As soon as he opens the door Milo starts shooting. Colter hides behind boxes and makes his way around Milo, killing him. He confirms Noelle’s still barely alive just as MC walks in, saying she heard gunshots and called the cops.
MC hands Narcan and that brings Noelle around. MC doesn’t say much and doesn’t stop Colter from walking out with Noelle.
Noelle reunites with her dad, Dale, and they hug, both in tears. Colter assures them that she’s safe. After she leaves, Dale can’t thank Colter enough and wonders what Colter wants in payment. (Dale doesn’t have much.) Colter asks for the gun Dale was firing at the range as payment. Dale hopes Colter finds whatever it is that brought him to Boston. He offers to buy him dinner, but Colter’s got another stop to make.
Colter returns to Benning estate and speaks with MC. She confirms Graham strangled his friend, the waiter, during a dispute. Noelle witnessed it. MC lies and says it was Graham who hired Milo to kidnap and overdose Noelle. She also says it was Milo who dumped the waiter’s body in the alley. MC claims the cops have the texts that prove all of this.
Colter confronts her about the man who cut his brake lines; she doesn’t dispute it when Colter says she knew who he was when he first showed up at the estate. Colter thinks MC had Graham killed, with Gene’s permission, because he was a troublemaker. After all of this, Colter warns MC that Noelle needs to be left alone. She’s covered her tracks well, but if she messes with Noelle that’ll point to the Bennings.
Colter assures MC that one day she’ll slip up and get caught. He hopes he’s there when that day comes.
