(This story contains spoilers for Season 2, the finale of Season 2 Tracker)
This is inevitable. CBS played action drama for two seasons, Tracker, Starring Justin Hartley is Colter Shaw, who finds the protagonist, the national seeker of the missing, who never solves the mystery of killing his father decades ago. The tragic incident has been wandering and haunting Kurt as an adult and estranged from most of his family.
Over the years, Cotter blamed his brother Russell Shaw (Jensen Ackles) for seemingly having a direct impact on his father, Lee Tergesen, who fell off a cliff in the woods near the town of "Echo Ridge" (and the last episode name). Ashton, a brilliant professor at Berkeley University, whose wife Mary Dove (Wendy Crewson) and their three children (Dory, played by Melissa Roxburgh, brings siblings outside of siblings), is worried about finding out that his family’s life would put his family’s lives in trouble.
But in the final minutes of the second season of the season, "Echo Ridge," Colter was able to track and find a man named Otto (Alex Fernandez), a serial pedophile uncle and child-trafficking Carl Murphy, who was on the trail of a beloved Town Restaurantes, where a restaurant named Billy radiates a horrible section of the restaurant, which he radiates a horrible section after a meal. Billy began to ask questions and eventually disappeared. His wife hired Colter, recommended by his mother Mary, to return to Echo Ridge to find the missing restaurant entrepreneur. Colt found Murphy's home with the help of government-protected employees in the forest and an old friend, while the body of the missing entrepreneur was his truck.
But that wasn't the only shocking thing Cote found on Murphy's property. He also found a wolf carving made by his father Ashton years ago in the pedophile house. Colter's crew eventually handed over Murphy to the sneaky boy in the trafficking network. He quickly ended the boy's kidnapper. But he stabbed Murphy with only gunshots so that he could extract two pieces of information from him: Where have the children been moved, and how exactly did he return to his father's carving?
In the final scene, Cote arrives at Otto's house and Uncle Murphy makes some amazing confessions. “Most of my life I’ve been trying to figure out what happened that night,” one highly excited Cote explained to Otto. Otto replied, telling the tracker that his father had many enemies.
Colt pulled out his pistol. "That night, my father walked across the cliff. Is that you? You were in the woods that night. Say, say it!"
Otto admits it was him, and he threw Ashton away from the cliff, but he did not work for the CIA or any government agency. The emotional Kurt asked why?
"Because she seeks my help," Otto replied solemnly. When Cotter asked who "her" was, Otto said two words, and when his tears began to flow, Pierce Colt's heart: "Your Mother."
but Tracker Performance host and finale writer Elwood Reid said audiences still don’t have the definite answers they think might receive at the end of the shocking season. Even Reid had no idea from the beginning that Cotter's father's death was the result of the action taken by Mary Dove Shaw.
“When I write, I tend not to outline too much or cast too much overview,” Reed explained. Hollywood Reporter The process of the critical final scene about the writing ending. "We want to have an episode where Cote is going to learn about his past. The idea starts to develop, like it has to go back to his mother. But we don't know how this landed. Putting him on the scene, he emotionally brings a lot of things to it.
Reid continued: "But to answer your question, I doubt but don't know. We still don't open up the look of the next season. (Kotter) doesn't have all the answers, but I don't think he's going to get all the answers."
While the season 2 finale doesn't seem to be neatly combined with the storyline of Ashton Shaw's death, it builds what's already a new season 3 by walking up to the darkness of dealing with child trafficking and the ropes that reveal the answers in Ashton Shaw's death.
TrackerMeanwhile, their writers are about to call up to answer these questions. The star said the filming of the third season may begin in July.
"We're there to give the bombs," Hartley told thrwhen he discussed the ending enthusiastically. "Yes, it's a tricky thing. I think it has a lot to do with the story of their being together. Then, (executive producer) Ken Olin's tone (he instructed the episode) was to make sure that we were covering things isn't very intense; it's a very intense theme. We're very aware of that. We're very sensitive to these things. In reality, we're unfortunate, unfortunately, we're unfortunate. To avoid the tough themes, we're trying to go through the front door and deal with them.
Hartley continued: "I feel like we reached the right tone. At the same time, we told the story after the death of our father, and Cotter discovered all the information he had never known.
As for continuing the storyline next season, Reed said: "I think Cotter will get an answer; he will get some lies. I mean, look, it's family. The family is fucking messy. The family will lie on your face.
He said: "What's interesting about Colt is, what did he do to everything mom told him? Did he believe her? Can he forgive her even if she told him the whole truth? "I think what his father did is a bigger mystery, which puts him out of the depths and I think as the season goes on, we'll be in and hopefully bringing back his sister, his brother." We'll play with those things. I think that's what makes the show special, with an emotional element. ”
After tears flowed from Colt's eyes, what was not revealed to the audience was whether the murderer allegedly caught some bullets from Kot. The audience won't know Otto's fate until next season.
"We're going to receive the consequences in Season 3." "The gun is something we didn't express in any script when we talked with Justin. Obviously, it's a question he's been asking him for his whole life. I don't think he thought he was going to pull that gun. But that guy gave him this answer, it's so fucking, he didn't even do it, he was just trying. I just want to see him rare. seconds.
It was a five-page scene, and Hartley did it twice. "Justin is locked up, and Alex Fernandez, who plays Otto, is locked up in so many. As a writer, you don't have many moments like this, and when these things happen, it starts live."
Hartley sees a similar path to how season two ends, while also making it clearer about Cotter's father. Why did his mother want her husband's life? Hartley has his theory.
"I think she'll do anything to protect her kids," Hartley said. "It's a desperate thing when you feel your kids are hurt and it takes a desperate measure. I think this is where it comes from. If you're talking about a horrible environment, people do crazy things."
Reid added that he thought about Mary's involvement in her husband's death.
"If you think back to the scene, Otto wouldn't say 'She told me to kill him'." "Colt asked, 'Why are you there, he's like, 'Because she wants me to be your mother.' So she asked him to be there, but we don't know at the top of Season 3.
