In tonight’s Tracker finale episode, Colter recently broke into an undercover “research” facility. What the government was actually doing was abducting kids. They’d abduct these incredibly smart kids and drugged them to such an extent that they didn’t which way was up.

They did this because they believed this was the only way that psychological warfare can truly develop. It didn’t matter that they killed these children’s parents to force them to work for the government.

They wanted to push their brains beyond normal capacity. There was one child that Colter knew about that was still being held against his will. Colter broke into the facility with his brother to rescue the now young man.

Only Danny Kellerman didn’t want to be rescued. He was the little boy the government first grabbed. He was in his twenties now. He wasn’t fighting back. He also couldn’t leave because he knew he couldn’t protect his friend Lola if he wasn’t there. Lola was important to Danny. She was just like him and the same time different.

She could see things before they happen. Colter didn’t understand it. Russell got it right away. Russell said the government have been amplifying precog for years. They’re not going to want to give her up. The same goes for Danny.

The brothers still convinced Danny that they could rescue his friend. Lola hadn’t been in the same building as him during his rescue. He told the guys that she had been moved to the “quiet place”. Its where they took the children/young adults to recalibrate them. In other words, its where they took the kids fighting.

The ones they try to break in like an animal rather than a human being. Danny was blindfolded the only time he got taken there. He doesn’t know where it was. He asked for help in to pull off a remote viewing session. They got him a place at abandoned laundromat.

They even brought Dr. Serena Jukic to help Danny. Danny eventually gave the brothers a tip. They used along with research from Randy and they believed they knew where the quiet place was located. They needed a plan on what to do in the aftermath. Colter didn’t have a plan and Russell had an idea.

Russell said the only way this ends was if they cut off the head of the snake. They didn’t know who was behind the program or was giving the orders. Its hard to find the head of a snake without any information.

Serena had long since left the program. She didn’t know the major players anymore. The brothers’ dad was dead. He couldn’t tell them anything. The one source they had was someone that Russell knew. He poked his head out of the hiding hole to meet with his source only to get shot at. They killed his friend.

They shot Russell. Russell managed to kill all of them before escaping. It seems the person they sent after the kids was named Damon Vickers. He was ex-DELTA. And he put together how they convinced Danny to go with them.

Damon went after Lola the same time that Colter had. Colter later thought he killed him by shooting him in the chest. He didn’t account for the bulletproof vest that Vickers was wearing. It was actually Lola who told him that Vickers was still alive. Colter wasn’t sure if he believed her.

She didn’t witness the fight after all. Yet, she was sure that Vickers was still alive. She also assured him that his brother needs him. Russell’s injury was bad. He tried to laugh it off and he couldn’t once Colter saw the extent of the injury.

Russell was so injured that he had been tracked to his location. Colter and Lola were with him. Lola hid where she knew no one would look. Colter tried taking out as many guys as possible.

The one person he missed just happened to be Vickers. Vickers tracked Russell. He soon caught up to him and Vickers had his gun pointed at Russell’s head when Colter took him out. He didn’t want to. He wanted information on the head of the research facility and Vickers prepared death of turning on his bosses.

Colter used his old contact to help Serena, her partner, and the kids to start over. They received new identities. They’d go where they couldn’t be tracked. Russell for his part found the head of the snake.

He planned on killing him until he saw his dad’s file. Their dad wasn’t just testing on random children. He either did the same or something similar to Colter. Russell didn’t want his brother ever finding out so he left town. He chose to work for the snake over killing him. He was back to being a spook. And he was doing it to protect his younger brother.

Colter had no idea where Russell was off to. He bought himself a workshop. He was going to work on their dad’s old car with a friend and he had no clue what Russell was hiding from him. So, the season ended with a secret that was bound to come out.

THE END!
