Justin HartleyColter’s character has been arrested so many times Follower that he started giving his lawyer advance warnings.
In We weeklyIn the exclusive clip from the upcoming episode, airing on Sunday, March 17, Colter is released from prison with some help from Reenie (Fiona Rene).
“Thanks for saving me again,” Colter said to Reenie, who replied, “I’m starting to think you might like some of this.” Whether it is prison or whether I come to the rescue.”
After Colter joked that he might “like a little bit of both,” his lawyer asked him about his game plan.
“Here’s what I don’t understand: Teddy and Velma call me to rescue you and then ask me to wait a few hours because you haven’t actually been arrested yet?” Reenie asked Colter.
According to Colter, it was necessary for his last case, explaining: “Well, I needed time alone with the other players before they had us all arrested. To see if one of them was the mysterious witness.”
Colter then saw a person of interest at the police station and approached the unknown woman to ask her for help.
‘I’m not a cop. The only reason I’m out of here is because I have a really good lawyer,” he noted. ‘I think maybe you can help me. In this case, a witness to a murder.”
Tracker fans are familiar with Colter’s dedication to his business – despite his unconventional methods. The CBS procedural, which premiered in February, stars Hartley, 47, as a survivalist who travels the country helping people and law enforcement solve a variety of mysteries. As the series unfolds, viewers will learn more about how Colter’s past has shaped his current life as a lone wolf who prefers to isolate himself from others.
Hartley, who is also an executive producer on Tracker, previously spoke of his total commitment to the role – even the physically demanding scenes.
“I do whatever the production allows me to do. There are certain things I’m just not allowed to do, which I understand: it’s insurance. I have a brilliant stuntman, his name is Jordan, he’s incredible! We have a great stunt coordinator. Usually they design the stunts so that I can do them,” he explained The Hollywood Reporter last month. “I do most of it, mainly because they do such a good job of making them safe so I can actually do them, which I think is so much better for the audience.”
Hartley continued, “You want to see the person’s face. You may wake up a little more sore than you’d like if you throw yourself into walls a few more times than you’d like, but it’s worth it in the end. It’s a sore back for a few days, it’s no problem.
