Why did Albert come back here?

He was looking for my cousin, Leroy, his brother.

How's Emma doing?

She signed a lease in Los Angeles.

She seems happy.

- You're right about Joe. - He's retiring.

And he asked me to take his place when he goes.

How long have you been keeping this from me?

So where's my cousin Leroy?

He bought a bus ticket back to LA.

Joe, it's Bern.

Billie Tsosie is no longer in protective custody.

Do you copy?

You tell McNair that I'll see him in hell!

Here's your LA weather forecast.

Gonna be clear and a little warmer tomorrow.

Look for lows tonight around 60.

Tomorrow's high, 89 degrees.

It'll be 69 for the beaches.

Orange County checks in at 78 degrees.

Hollywood, 69 degrees. Downtown...

Nurse's station.

Emma Leaphorn, please.

- Hang on. - Let me see if I can find her.

Hello? This is Emma Leaphorn.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm here in Los Angeles.

OK.

We're out here looking for a runaway from St. Catherine's.

But mostly, I didn't want to be out here and not call.

I didn't know if you'd want me to, so I just...

It's OK, Joe.

Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah.

I have your stir sticks with me if you...

Nurse Leaphorn?

Give me two minutes.

Sorry. It's busy here.

Yeah, I understand.

I can drop them by your sister's if that's better.

I'm sorry, Emma, I...

I didn't mean to blindside you. You're... I...

No.

Listen, what are you doing for lunch?

There's a restaurant we go to on Sunset

by the hospital, The Source.

I have half an hour, 1 o'clock?

I wouldn't miss it.

- See you then. - OK.

- Bye. - Bye.

Morning.

You talk to your guy?

Nothing on Gorman, at least that he'd share.

And turns out the FBI doesn't give a damn

about a 16-year-old rez girl.

Where would she go?

I mean, she's got no money. She doesn't know anyone.

This city is huge.

Indian Center.

Everybody who comes here from the rez

ends up there eventually.

Where's the Indian Center?

Wilshire and Oxford.

Meet you there.

Wow.

There's a map in the glove box.

You know, this is where Chee and his mom came

when they left the rez?

Did you know that?

He doesn't like to talk about it,

but it's gotta be weird being back here.

If you're gonna lead people, Bern,

you gotta figure out how to handle them.

It's not just about how they feel, it's about how you feel.

Right.

And the way I do things is different than the way you do.

Look...

I'm not you, Joe.

If you want me to do this,

you're gonna have to let me do things my way

and handle him my way.

So far, your way is messy.

Where do we start?

Reception.

I want to go home.

This is home now, Jim.

Everything's gonna be OK.

I promise.

I'm gonna go hit the head.

Do you have your badge?

Yeah.

Hi, we're looking for

a 16-year-old Navajo girl, Billie Tsosie.

She might have come here looking for her cousin,

Leroy Gorman.

I'm Lieutenant Leaphorn.

This is Sergeant Manuelito, Navajo Tribal Police.

Oh, that's cute.

Um, this is her.

Sorry.

You keep files, don't you?

Only if she registered for assistance, food, or housing.

OK, where's that?

Thank you.

You have a warrant?

This girl's cousin and grandfather

were brutally murdered on the Navajo reservation

just two days ago.

She managed to get away with no money,

no resources, and she's here.

And whoever killed her family is looking for her.

So a warrant is not going to help her.

We are.

I'm sure there's a way we could skip the red tape.

This place is made of red tape.

Sorry.

Hey, man, let me help you out.

Thanks.

Sonny Bear Heart.

What's your name? Where you from?

Mike Garcia.

- Arizona, Navajo rez. - Relocation?

Just got back from 'Nam.

There's no work on the rez, so yeah.

So you got a job out here?

If you call standing in the unemployment line

all day a job.

Yeah, well, there's generally two kinds of jobs in LA...

shit jobs and acting jobs.

And if you ain't up for playing Indian Number One

on your favorite TV show,

you might as well go back to the rez.

- Yeah. - Uh-huh.

Where'd you serve?

173rd Airborne, War Zone C.

1st Marine Division, Quang Nam province.

That was fun.

I heard. You boys are crazy.

Well, tell you what.

When you get tired of standing on the unemployment line,

come see me.

Got an office up the street, Cliff's Side Bar.

Gotta look out for each other, right?

Right.

Got us a lead.

Sonny Bear Heart, California plates.

Who's he?

I don't know yet, but he was wearing

the same kind of ring Albert had on.

Hangs out at a bar up the street,

wants to buy me a drink.

You ask him about Leroy Gorman?

Not yet.

He shouldn't go in there alone.

He didn't exactly say bring a friend.

We'll be outside.

You're not out in an hour, we're coming in.

- Hey, you made it. - What are you drinking?

Uh, beer, I guess.

All right. Sit.

You hungry?

- I could eat. - Yeah, me too.

So...

what kind of work did you do back on the rez?

Tour guide, Monument Valley.

Driving people around, seeing the sights and shit?

What kind of job is that?

White people like their rocks, man.

Fuck if I know.

So you can drive a car?

Yeah, I can drive a car.

That's a pretty good skill to have out here.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Uh, good enough to get me swag like that?

Yeah, I saw you eyeballing it in the alley there.

Well, my buddy from 'Nam has one just like it,

Albert Gorman. You know him?

I know a lot of people, Mike.

Most of them I call "amigo,"

'cause who can remember all those names?

Well, Albert said if I ever got out here

to look up his brother, Leroy.

Said he could help me find work.

Doing?

Something other than acting and shit jobs, I hope.

You got a place to live?

No.

Here.

Get yourself a room, some new threads.

I'm gonna have a party tonight.

Everyone who's anyone comes to my parties,

including your friend, Leroy.

Chicks?

What, do you think I just hang around

a bunch of swingin' dicks?

Every hot chick that walks through that door

will be there.

And every hot chick that doesn't,

well, they'll find their way there.

I'll be there.

Pay you back.

Yeah, one way or another.

- He's having a party tonight. - Leroy'll be there.

If Leroy's there, maybe he brings Billie.

Even if he doesn't, if we get our hands on him,

we're that much closer to her.

What the?

What's going on with you?

Nothing.

Chee, I know it must be hard being back here

with what happened with your mom and everything...

Don't worry about it.

Hey.

Why won't you talk to me?

I want to talk to you, I...

I think it would be good for you...

You and Joe didn't think I could handle the truth, did you?

Yeah.

That's what I thought.

So this is about that?

That's why you're behaving like a...

Like what?

A jackass.

Mm-hmm.

See, this is exactly what I was talking about.

Come on, don't let this stupid job get in between us.

You're the one who won't let it drop.

You don't think I deserve it, do you?

- Sure, I do. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but not over you.

You left, Bern.

He made the decision, Chee.

Not me.

- Hi. - Hi.

This is your spot, huh?

This is my spot.

Mm.

Oh.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

So...

How's work?

Can't complain.

IHS is IHS no matter what city you live in.

But it feels nice to be appreciated again,

you know?

And LA? You like it here?

I do.

What about you?

I want to hear all the gossip from back home.

There's not much to tell, just...

you know, work.

There's a bit of new news.

I'm retiring...

as soon as I finish this case.

You're thinking about it, or you are?

I gave Largo the letter.

What're you going to do?

I don't know. Um...

I've been spending time up in the mountains,

going to sweat, talking to elders,

been doing all the things you've always wanted me to do.

It'll come to me.

I'm happy for you.

In other news, I am happy to report

your tomatoes are thriving under new management.

- You built the fence. - I did.

Mmm.

Let me see your hand.

Mm.

Yeah, I see some green.

- Mrs. Leaphorn? - Yes?

Phone. It's Betsy from IHS.

Can I get you some coffee while you look at the menu?

Yeah, thanks.

Hello?

Big accident on the 101, multiple injuries.

Kaiser's transporting people to IHS.

Sorry, Joe. It was really good to see you.

So you know what you want?

OK, now, what if I told you

that if you added up all the people who have died

since the dawn of time, it would still be less

than all the people alive right now?

We got more people than the planet can handle.

And I'm not talking about conspiracy theories.

No, sir. I'm talking about...

Yep, the millions breathing our air,

drinking our water, stretching our resources thin.

So what's the solution?

What can you do right now, right today?

Well, I'll tell you.

I got a buddy in Texas building a fallout shelter,

thick steel, custom jobs.

And all you got to do is call in now.

Tell him "Captain Midnight" sent you.

Opa?

Opa.

Ow! Ow!

Now every man, woman, and child...

It is rumored that other commodities may suffer...

People of this country will be called upon

to give a meeting each Monday.

Ja.

America.

I sure said it like that, but I wasn't saying that.

Ah, you guys!

The nation is patiently awaiting the outcome

as they determine the...

coming from the nation last week,

this French pronouncement.

Anything at the back door?

No. Have you seen Chee?

Yeah. He just went in.

What can I get ya?

Beer, anything you got on draft.

And a shot of tequila.

You know that stuff will make you go blind, right?

Promise?

I'm Tawny.

Mike.

- Hi, Mike. - It's nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you... - Mike Garcia!

What's up, man?

Hey, you clean up good, man.

Come on. Hey, don't wait up.

Glad you came, man.

Man up.

"Man up."

All right.

Whew!

- Ooh! - Let's dance, man.

It's done.

I expect the money to hit my account tomorrow, as usual.

Everything you ordered has been delivered.

But I didn't order Albert Gorman.

Albert Gorman was a problem for you.

No longer.

Then why is his cousin, a 16-year-old Navajo girl,

running all over LA flapping her gums

about his sudden demise and asking about his brother?

This isn't like you, Irene.

I'll take care of the girl.

My trial's in a week.

Between now and then, thanks to you,

the Feds are going to be tripping all over

your goddamn loose ends.

Still, I stand by you.

Why?

Because I'm cute.

If that girl talks, this whole thing unravels.

I'll find the girl.

But I need to get paid.

Then you better get a mop and clean this up.

Joe, it's Billy Tsosie.

She just went in the back door.

I'm gonna go get her.

Let Chee bring her out.

Bern, do you copy?

Bern?

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Leroy Gorman. He's my cousin.

You know him?

I don't know you.

So this is the spot inside the spot.

It's invitation only.

Yeah.

This, Mike Garcia, is your future.

Where's Leroy?

Are you loaded?

You said he'd be here.

Relax, he'll be here.

Have a drink. Meet a chick.

- All right. - It's a new world, Mike.

I hear you were looking for Leroy.

Who are you?

Look, I don't want any trouble, OK?

I'm from the Navajo reservation in Arizona.

Leroy's my cousin.

His brother, Albert, was there looking for him a few days ago.

Leroy's on the reservation?

He's here now, I think.

Who told you that, Albert?

Albert's dead.

A white woman shot him.

Green van, California plates... that mean anything to you?

Yeah.

Is that woman after you now?

- I don't know. - I just need to find Leroy.

What did Leroy tell you about what he was into?

Nothing. I never saw him.

OK, listen.

Listen to me. This is important.

You don't want to be here.

You don't want that woman in that green van

to come looking for you.

These guys,

they may seem cool, but they're not.

They're a gang, criminals.

I don't know what they do,

or what's going on with Leroy right now,

but he's not the kind of guy to disappear, you know?

If they even think you know something...

You understand what I'm saying?

No.

See, you can end up as dead as Albert.

What's happening?

Uh, the usual times two.

I don't feel so good.

You look like shit, too.

You said Leroy'd be here.

Dude.

Every other word out of your mouth has been "Leroy."

What's up with that?

I'm sorry.

Ah, I'm just playing with you.

- Whoa, where are you going? - I think I might be...

- Whoa! - I'm gonna be sick.

Where are you going?

Ah!

What's he doing in there?

Chee, are you in here?

Oh, hey.

Hey.

What happened?

Hey, did you take something?

Mm-hmm.

Come on.

It feels like I puked out a rib.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

OK? Easy.

OK.

OK, you're a mess. We need to get you out of here.

I love you.

Bye!

Go back to Arizona before someone puts you in the ground.

Cheeseburger.

These people won't lift a finger to help local cops,

especially Indian ones.

But maybe Mike Garcia can.

Oh!

She's going to die if we don't find her.

I found Leroy.
