01x01 - Monster Slayer

[bunniefuu]

Yeah, let's get tickets!

Get up.

Get up!

My partner, he's in the back.

All right.

Come on, open it up.

Stay down, man.

We got help coming.

You're gonna be fine.

You don't have to do this,

you know?

That's enough.

Open it.

Slowly.

Is that all of it?

Put 'em back.

If I catch you

stealing artifacts again,

the hole you'll be digging

will be a lot bigger.

Are you the one I spoke to

on the telephone?

I'm Anna. Come in.

Did you bring a token?

Tribal Police.

Hello?

Anna.

Got some nerve

showing up here.

She's in shock.

Maybe we should talk inside.

You arrest her?

For what?

She ain't done nothing.

Guy, we should talk inside.

You think I'm gonna let you

set foot in my house?

Anna was k*lled at

the Big Rock Motel last night.

I'm sorry.

Damn you!

Oh, man, you all right?

Guy, you okay?

Let me go, let me go!

Now they're both dead!

Are you happy?

I said, are you happy?

Traitor!

How?

I'm sending her body

to Flagstaff for an autopsy,

but the scene

where I found her

suggests foul play.

I'm afraid that's all

I can say right now, Helen.

- Did you catch who did it?

- No, not yet.

Homicide's a federal crime.

The FBI has to take lead

on the investigation.

Since when did the FBI

give a damn about a dead Indian?

You, of all people,

should know that.

You know there's going

to be a revolution

You know we got no solution

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

We gotta stand up

and we gonna fight

We gonna take up for

all our human rights

Because we got rights

just like they do

We're gonna stand up

And get back

what they took from you

Know that they do

Long hair and short hair,

it don't go together

Just like rain and snowy

kinda weather

We're not gonna fight

and we're not gonna run

We're not gonna sh**t nobody

with a g*n

Because we got rights

just like they do

You got a visitor, Lieutenant.

Jim Chee.

Who?

He says you're expecting him.

I'll be right out.

Lieutenant Leaphorn.

Sorry I'm late.

Jim Chee.

Have we met?

Uh, they didn't call you?

Somebody from Window Rock

was supposed to call you.

I'm your new deputy.

You know about this?

How long you been

with the Tribal Police?

Almost three months

working in Window Rock

for Captain Largo

as his adjutant.

Hmm.

Didn't know Captain Largo

to have an adjutant.

Well, looks like you gus

could use the help.

Yeah,

a few of my men enlisted.

Did you serve?

I went to college, sir.

Get out of 'Nam

for free card, huh?

Wasn't cheap.

Yeah. Well, you picked

a hell of a morning to show up.

I'm sorry,

what is your name again?

- Chee.

- Chee, yeah. Hmm.

Well, you caught me

in the middle of something.

Sergeant Manuelito's

my number two.

She'll show you the ropes.

You and I can talk later.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Mm, nice suit.

You look like Pat Boone.

Thanks.

You got a uniform, Pat?

It's in the car.

Well, go get it.

Right, Sergeant.

Oh, there we are.

Okay.

So sometimes late in pregnancy,

as the fetus grows,

there's less room

for it to move.

That's most likely why you

haven't felt anything lately,

but nothing to be alarmed about.

Everything sounds

perfectly normal.

Were you planning to deliver

here at the clinic?

'Cause I would like

to strongly discourage

against a home birth.

It's dangerous

for you and for your baby.

She'll think about it.

Okay.

Suit yourself.

You're good here?

All right.

I have to go.

Can I help you?

I'm looking

for Lieutenant Leaphorn.

You got him.

What can I do for you, Father?

I'm here about

my grandfather, Hosteen Tso.

I'm sorry for your loss.

The officer

in Window Rock said

that you were handling the case.

Well, homicide's

a federal crime.

I'm required to turn over

all evidence to the FBI.

So no leads, no idea

who may have done such a

terrible thing?

Well, I'm afraid I can't

comment on that, Father.

But I can put you in touch

with the Flagstaff field office

if you let me know

how to get ahold of you.

I'm staying at

my grandfather's place

until his services are seen to.

It's out by

Many Ruins Canyon, right?

Doesn't have a telephone,

unfortunately.

Yeah.

Do you have any other family

that need to be notified?

No.

Well, I don't mean to take

any more of your time,

Lieutenant.

Sorry, Father.

I didn't get your name.

It's Benjamin.

Benjamin Tso.

Huh.

You don't see many Diné who

take the Jesus road anymore.

No, you don't, do you?

Hollow points?

Welcome to Kayenta.

- Chee.

- Lieutenant.

Grab these boxes.

Let's take a ride.

We'll talk on the way.

- Where you going, Lieutenant?

- Morgue.

On a good day,

we've got 50 tribal officers

to patrol 27,000 square miles.

If you break down out here,

you lose radio signal,

it could be hours before

somebody even notices

that you're missing.

So carry a gallon of water

in your vehicle at all times.

Do you smoke?

No.

Buy a carton anyway.

People around here will tell

you more for a pack of smokes

than in an interrogation room.

I read your file.

You graduated from Berkeley.

Did you grow up here?

Shiprock.

How long were you gone?

Nine years.

You know, most Diné your age

would've jumped at the chance

to get off the rez

and get a college degree,

but you came back.

You still have family

in Shiprock?

No, when my mom d*ed,

I kinda lost touch.

Well, you are back now.

Who buys this crap anyway?

Tourists, mostly.

Assholes looking

for something to show off

when they head back

to Kansas or Missouri.

People like you.

I'm from Nebraska.

Oh.

That's for protection.

Yeah? From what?

Dark energies,

evil beings,

shape shifters,

and skin walkers and such.

- And you believe that?

- Mm.

You spend as much time

on this reservation

around people who believe it,

you start to believe it too.

- Don't make it real.

- Ha.

Real is in the eye

of the beholder.

The mind's a powerful thing.

Hey, Lester,

what about these here?

Oh, my wife's taken up

a new hobby.

I think they're ugly as sin,

but white people have no taste.

I sold six last week.

I'll cut you a deal.

Why pay more

when you could pay less?

You're late.

Well, it's good to see you

too, High Pockets.

Lester.

Hey.

What did I tell you

about calling me that?

This is my new deputy,

Jim Chee.

Well, this

is Special Agent Springer.

Oh, Low Pockets.

Let's get on with it.

I don't wanna spend

my whole damn day here.

Yep.

Wow.

Y-you kidding me here?

Why'd you put the bodies

in an ice box?

Why go to the trouble

of staging the scene

like a damn bear is in the room?

I don't know.

Mess with the FBI, I guess.

It's the same reason the k*ller

took the man's liver and eyes.

Spooks people around here.

You think it's just

some kind of witchcraft?

No.

See, the Diné believe

that talking about witchcraft

or even speaking the name of

the dead invites more death.

When word spreads

about what happened,

even if people know something,

they're not likely to say.

Smart, actually.

You wanna introduce me?

Hosteen Tso, age 60.

Address on his ID card

puts him out

by Many Ruins Canyon.

It's Canyon De Chelly.

All right, let's have

a look at the other one.

Anna Atcitty, age 19.

What's the cause of death?

I was hoping

you could tell me.

Couldn't find a bruise

or a broken fingernail.

- OD?

- Considered it.

Can't find

any needle marks though.

You guys can do a tox screen

when you get her back

to Flagstaff.

Canyon De Chelly

to Monument Valley

is a hell of a long drive

for a lay.

She's not a prost*tute.

Have some respect.

Well, what in the hell

was she doing

in a motel room with the ma,

having a sewing circle?

- He was there for a sing.

- A what now?

Male victim appears

to have been in poor health.

Looks like he was there

to get a healing.

There's no token here.

It's supposed to sit in

the center of the sing cloth.

All the other pieces are here,

but the token is missing.

Hey, Springer,

load these bodies up.

I wanna get back

to Flagstaff before dark.

Give Low Pockets a hand

with the bodies.

Special Agent Springer,

assh*le.

You'll get back to me

on the cause of death

of the Atcitty girl?

Do you know that gal

or somethin'?

Why you got such a burr

in your saddle about her?

Two people were m*rder*d.

Isn't that reason enough?

There's a witness, by the way.

Oh, yeah?

It's the girl's grandmother,

Margaret Cigaret.

She was in the room

at the time of the murders,

but they left her unharmed.

Probably 'cause

she can't ID 'em.

- Why's that?

- She's blind.

Well, did she hear anything?

Don't know.

She wouldn't talk.

She was in shock at the time.

A blind, mute witness.

That ought to look

just great in my report.

Well, I think you should

question her again.

Maybe she recognized a voice,

heard a name.

I'll go with you if you'd like.

You hear about this armored

car robbery down in Gallup?

The one they used

the helicopter for?

Thought we're talking

about a double homicide.

We're talkin' about both.

One hand washes the other,

Kemosabe.

I got five eyewitnesses

place that h*jacked chopper

headed north

into Navajo country.

If you have something to say,

I wish you would say it.

I think I just did.

You know,

my people have a saying

for white folks that

steal from white banks.

Okay, what's that mean?

White people's problems.

Well, who said they was white?

Tell you what, High Pockets,

I will pretend that

your bank robbers are Navajo

if you pretend my two

m*rder victims are white.

Let's see which one of us

does our job quicker, huh?

Where'd you get that?

The Big Rock.

She was wearing it.

- What's it doing here?

- Em, it's just a jacket.

You need to get rid of it.

Promise me.

Yeah.

I'll get rid of it, I promise.

The killings are bad enough,

but

out of all the girls on the rez,

why'd it have to be her?

The feds are gonna screw this

up, too, I know it.

There's not a damn thing

I can do about it.

I got something you can do.

What's this?

It's an address.

Well, I see that. Whose?

d*ck Cavett's.

He wants to have you on

tomorrow night

so you can charm America

with your pleasant disposition.

Well, I can't.

I'm doing Carson tomorrow night.

What's this about?

Young pregnant girl

came into the clinic today.

I just wanna make sure

she's not in any trouble is all.

It's just a feeling I have.

Why's it every time

that you get a feeling,

it always ends up being

more work for me?

I'm sorry.

I'm just in a hell

of a mood tonight.

Hey.

I love you.

Can you pour me a cup?

Another cup

in the glove box for you.

Oh, thanks.

You know, the other day

at Short Mountain,

you noticed the token

was missing from the ceremony.

It was a good catch.

Yeah, my grandfather

was a medicine man.

You know,

he'd let me hang around

and help out with some of te

ceremonies when I was a kid.

We were close.

You know, it could've been

the k*ller who took it.

The token.

Maybe it was

something valuable?

Well, they didn't bother

with the money

or the girl's jewelry so

What if it was

something personal?

Or something he thought

might tell who he is.

What is this?

Kn*fe was found

on Navajo land.

It's got copper deposits

on the blade.

That's why it's yellow.

Mineral composition like that

isn't native to this area.

Wrote my thesis

on the interconnectedness

of the Northern and Southern

Athabasken peoples.

Wait, so you went to college.

Arizona State.

What, you thought

you're the only tribal officer

with a college degree?

If you consider ASU a college.

How's your Diné?

It's been awhile.

How's he holding up?

How long's he been up there?

Since yesterday.

Should we go and talk to him?

You can talk to him

till you're blue in the face.

He's not gonna hear

a word you say.

Leave him be.

Has she spoken at all?

You're welcome to try.

Was Anna seeing anyone?

Anybody you know

that could've done this?

No one since

If you think of anything

Anything

You send for me.

Otherwise, I'll be by in a day

or two to check on her.

Hopefully she'll be better

by then, hmm?

Wait.

I found this in Anna's things.

I figured you and Emma

might want to have it.

Take care of yourself, sister.

Lieutenant, everything okay?

I have to check on something.

I'll radio Sergeant Manuelio

to pick you up.

She's doing a welfare check

out by Medicine Hat.

Just ride along with her.

So, what, you're just

leaving me here?

Why can't I ride with you?

I don't understand.

Tribal Police.

Have a look around back.

Anyone home?

Hello? Tribal Police.

What do you want?

I'm officer Manuelita

with the Tribal Police.

What do you want?

Does Sally Growing Thunder

live here?

No.

Are you Sally?

She's my daughter.

Any particular reason

you lied to me just now?

Is it just the two of you

living here?

Yes.

What is this about?

What do you want with her?

She hasn't done anything

I need to speak

to your daughter alone.

I could do it here

or I can take her

down to the sub station.

You choose.

He doesn't live with us.

He just comes by sometimes.

Do I have to tell you?

Can I go now?

Hey.

Are you okay here?

I mean

But don't look at her.

I'm fine, Officer.

What was that?

Hey.

Hey, you said it was just a

Would you like to come inside?

Walk in beauty, Officer.

Chee!

Let's go.

What are we doing here,

Sergeant?

What are you doing?

Got a medicine bundle with you?

Well, if you don't,

at least get you a pouch

of juniper ash and corn pollen.

Keep it with you

while on patrol.

Out here,

sometimes the best protection

isn't your .38,

but your medicine.

I'll keep that in mind.

Let's go before

these roads turn to mud.

Let's go.

What's up with you Navajos

and being late?

It's 'cause

we're on Indian time.

Hmm.

You want a beer?

What the hell am I doing here?

Well, I thought

you might enjoy

seeing a little piece

of film history.

This is where all the big stars

used to stay in their day

when they were making

those great westerns

in the '40s and '50s.

They even put their pictures

on the door

so you can see

which room they slept in.

My wife and I, we stayed

in the Tyrone Power suite

for our anniversary one year.

Where did the Indians sleep?

- What Indians?

- Exactly.

I mean the rez.

What am I doing here?

Oh, is your homecoming

off to a bumpy start, Chee?

All right, look,

now, I'm assuming

you heard about them old boys

took down that armored car

up in Gallup?

Just what was in the paper.

Why?

Well, here's something

that wasn't in the paper.

That helicopter was last sen

headed into Canyon De Chelly.

So you think that

the bank robbers are Navajo?

- Not just Navajo. Radicals.

- AIM?

Ripping off armored cars

doesn't seem like their M.O.

But your old friends

Buffalo Society.

Why would the Buffalo Society

be here?

Well, it's the largest

Indian reservation

in the g*dd*mn world.

Not a bad place to hide out

if you're a bad Indian

doing bad sh*t.

So what exactly

do you want me to do?

Search 27,000 square miles

by myself?

They could be anywhere.

Navajo land

is the tribe's jurisdiction,

but if the FBI found

a tangible lead,

like a positive ID

or a location,

we could go to the tribe

and negotiate

a joint task force.

Ergo, I had to get creative.

Why does Leaphorn call you

High Pockets anyway?

You report directly to me

and only to me.

Understood?

And what about

the two homicides?

What, the Indians

at the motel?

I put you here

to find that helicopter, okay?

You are the one that

can help me bring this home.

And when you do,

we get to write

our own ticket out of here.

Organized crime? Bank robbery?

DC, Chicago, New York

Whatever you want, Chee.

It's yours.

Just don't go forgetting

which tribe you belong to,

Special Agent Chee.

Hey, buddy.

How are you?

Come here.

Father?

Father Tso!

Father Tso, Father Tso

This season on "Dark Winds"

Leaphorn:

I saw something last night.

C'mon man, this is all

bogeyman stuff.

Frank Nakai, ring a bell?

That is Federal jurisdiction.

That's my life on the line.

Girl: You're scared

of my mother aren't you?

She's not the one

you should be afraid of.

Get down!

Think we should call for backup?

What backup?
