In tonight’s Tracker episode, it was a vicious cycle whenever you get chosen to play along with “the process”. The texts would welcome these players to the process right before threatening them with their loved ones. The Process was a game to the person running it. They stalk their victims. They learn everything about them.
They even knew how to get close to them and then they forced them into this game. Colter sent Reenie to talk to Raymond Ockman, but he got spooked when he thought she was part of the process. Ockman refused to talk to Reenie again. Their best bet to finding the person doing all of this was Lisa.
Remember Lisa? Lisa was also forced by the process. She was hit by a car and survived. She was reunited with her daughter. They were both safe. For now that is. Lisa suspected this process wasn’t over and she wasn’t wrong. There were so many people being forced to do things. They were never truly out of the game.
They did what they were supposed to do until eventually they get texted again with the words “welcome back to the process”. It would never stop. There was always someone too scared to stand up to the person or people behind this.
They don’t realize that if they all rose up then they could put an end to it. One man followed Russell. Russell was with Reenie. They were following a lead as Colter was speaking to Lisa. Russell spotted the car following almost instantly.
He had Reenie pull over to the closest gas station. He pretended to her that he needed to use the bathroom when in truth he wanted to come up behind the guy following them. The plan just didn’t work. This complete stranger was too smart for that. He knew how to evade the easy mistakes.
He has a family. His son was grabbed by the process once and he couldn’t afford to let that happen again. He wouldn’t be a threat if it wasn’t for the process. He began following Russell and Reenie again when they got back on the road. Russell again noticed him. Russell then decided to play chicken with his would be stalker.
He forced them off the road by doing so. The stranger was knocked unconscious in the car accident. Russell got to his phone. He opened it using the stranger’s face. And that’s when he saw that they’ve been followed since the moment they were forced to play.
Russell abducted the guy. The stranger came to afterwards to find out he’d been tied to a chair. He was interrogating him when Reenie was dealing with the fallout of Ockman’s death. Ockman allegedly committed suicide right after talking to Reenie. Reenie saw the footage of the incident. It was clearly edited.
There wasn’t enough time in the footage for Ockman to tie up his bedsheets much less hang himself. He was killed and Reenie suspected it had something to do with the guard he was wary of that morning.
Colter in the meantime had finished his conversation with Lisa. He found out that the process has leverage on people. Lisa did a lot of stupid stuff following her divorce. She wasn’t proud of it.
It exposed her to the man behind it all. The same way Ockman was having an inappropriate relationship with one of his high school students. These people have all done wrong and now they were being punished for it. Colter joined up with his brother. They questioned Harith Holmes. He said that he stole money from a client and it led to his son getting kidnapped.
Harith saved his son. Only he was constantly threatened with the murder of said son if he didn’t follow orders. The Process has people commit crimes and then choose a successor. If the successor fails, it goes backwards to the last person. Its why Harith had to kill Ockman’s sister and its why he’s involved again.
It turns out the Process itself was created by a college professor. The professor was studying manipulative behavior. She wrote a book called “The Process of Leverage and Obedience”. She ran a test with her students and she stopped it when she noticed that it was tapping into people’s cruelty.
There were three grad students she was truly worried about. Colter got their names. It was Don Schneider, Gillian Meeks, and Phillip Jost. They loved the sadism of it. They loved the power they had over others.
Schneider in particular came to feel that people deserved punishment. The sad part was that he just liked being in control. He was a sadist. The same for the others. Meeks was currently living in London. She was in the clear. Schneider and Jost also could be in this together. It took a lot of planning and its been running since the experiment ended at school.
Russell and Colter found the two former grad students thanks to Dr. Tate. The two men were working together. Russell killed Jost. Colter knocked out Schneider.
Schneider tried to use his family against Colter, but Colter didn’t flinch. He punched the guy. He and his brother shot up the computers. They shut down the algorithm. Schneider got arrested and he has so many enemies that they would love to go to prison just to visit him.
The Process was finally over! Russell was also now considering new career path when his brother gave him an idea. Maybe he should try helping people. For a fee that is. It would be like what Colter does. He could even be his own boss. Russell preferred the last part most of all.
THE END!
