Tracker Season 2 Episode 10 Recap
The following Tracker Season 2 episode 10 recap contains plot details.
"Nightingale" drops Colter into Wolf Creek, Minnesota, where singer Angie Hansley (Sydney Scotia) vanished after a bar performance that left three Good Samaritans dead — two bikers and an off-duty cop. The prime suspect is Benjamin Kinderson (Jim Parrack), a former soldier turned oil-security contractor and stoic survivalist whose grandmother Ava offers a $50,000 reward, insisting Ben is no killer. Colter's investigation quickly exposes the official story as a lie: the bodies were moved after the killings, and the corrupt Sheriff Walcott abandons Colter miles from town to stall him.
Tracking Ben through the woods, Colter is knocked out and wakes tied up in Ben's booby-trapped cabin — with Angie, alive and unharmed. Ben did not kidnap her; he saved her. Angie witnessed the bikers stab the off-duty cop (a "snitch") to cover up the gun-running operation the bikers ran with the sheriff's office, and the bikers turned on her to silence her. Ben fought them off and has been hiding her in the woods. Colter and Ben set a trap using Ben's wilderness skills and death whistles, picking off the bikers one by one; Angie stabs one with a broken bottle inside the bar.
The gang leader, Cropper, is unmasked by security footage as the man who killed his own men — and his own lieutenant shoots him dead in disgust, ending the gang's reign in Wolf Creek.
