Previously on "Alaska Daily"...

So you really are a pilot.

Read my poems. I wasn't making that up, either.

Can I, uh, buy you a drink as a thank-you?

I'm gonna pass on the drink. Good luck with your article.

Good kiss, but it can't happen again.

Understood.

Turns out this pro-fishing guy is financed by mining.

Frank Moses is the most competent person in this race.

Just doesn't seem like you have much of a story to me, Stanley.

Hi, Ken. I'd like to know more about the Pritchard family.

I want to understand what they stood to gain if Moses won.

Whoever killed Gloria is sure that he will never be found.

The un-redacted police report.

Two names-- Ezra Fisher and Rega Horne.

Rega Horne might as well not exist.

Search engines, socials-- they turn up nothing.

Hello, Concerned Citizen.

Concerned Citizen: Did you get my gift?

I did. Things are getting serious between us.

The next bullet you receive won't be in a box.

Hey, y'all!

It's Cruise Day number three,

and we are a long way from Houston.

Last night was insane.

Let's just say I had one too many glacier-tinis.

Brinkley and Audrey passed out a while ago,

but since a lot of you have been asking me

for videos of the views,

I stayed up all night

so I could show y'all...

the sunrise. Ha!

Alaska is pretty lit, y'all.

Oh, no!

Hello, Doug. How are things in Seattle?

Doing our best to keep up with the news.

Speaking of-- I'm sure you saw the video?

I did, about 11 times. It's sad.

When did she go missing?

Sometime early this morning, near Seward.

Well, it looks like it's blowing up.

The video has a million views already.

Any stringers you recommend? I need some coverage.

I'll see what I can do. I've gotten similar calls

from Dallas, Phoenix...

...Chicago, and New York, but you're top of my list.

I appreciate that, Stanley. Say hi to Claire for me.

Will do, buddy, but she's never leaving Anchorage.

Stanley Cornik.

With us today, Daily Alaskan reporters

Eileen Fitzgerald and Roz Friendly. Eileen, Roz, welcome.

- Good to be here, Tim. - Thanks for having us.

So, I want to discuss the impact of your recent reporting

about Meade Police Chief Durkin

and Anchorage ADA Adam Barnett.

The stories can be found on TheDailyAlaskan.com,

but for anyone who hasn't read them,

tell us what happened.

Well, through our reporting,

uh, we discovered that Chief Durkin

was classifying his sexual-assault cases

as "unfounded" at an alarmingly high rate.

When a case is deemed "unfounded,"

it means that the crime didn't happen.

And if the crime didn't happen, it doesn't have to be solved.

Exactly. And we found out that ADA Barnett was preying

on his female plaintiffs, re-victimizing them.

Following the publication of your stories, Durkin was fired.

So was Barnett, and we expect him to be disbarred.

Both of these stories

are emblematic of the systemic problems

that plague the Alaska legal system.

And it highlights why local reporting,

disappearing across this country, matters.

We're happy to shed light on the issues.

When you expose people like this,

do you worry about blowback?

Exposing corruption definitely has its consequences,

but it doesn't deter us from doing our job.

Agreed. Most people are just so busy

trying to get through the day with work and family and life.

Someone has to expose these guys.

So if not us, then who?

Okay, we have a caller.

"Concerned Citizen," you're on the air.

Concerned Citizen: Yeah.

I don't know why you're all celebrating this.

Do you have a question for the reporters?

Yeah, I do.

Why are you still here, Eileen?

I have a job to do, serving the interests

of the Alaskan people.

What do you know about the interests of Alaskans?

You think you're some kind of crusader,

but you're a carpetbagging meddler.

And a liar. You need to be stopped.

We're gonna take a quick break

and be right back with a question,

hopefully a more polite one, from Pam in Wasilla.

Morning, Claire!

Doug from Seattle says hi.

That's nice. Tell him I'm never leaving Anchorage.

Already did. You heard about the girl who went missing

from the cruise ship this morning?

I'm slammed. I'm on Mayhem.

Mayhem is breaking news.

A girl falling off a ship is mayhem.

I've got a flood in Eagle Village,

I've got a truck that flipped into the Matanuska River,

I've got a Fish and Game captain with eight hunting violations,

I've got overflow at a homeless shelter,

and I'm covering the Arts gala tonight.

Say no more.

Roz, can you cover the girl who disappeared

from the cruise ship in Seward?

Did you hear about Jade Jacobs?

She's a Yup'ik woman who went missing two days ago.

No, I didn't hear about her.

She met up with friends at Russian Pratatsky Park.

She was feeling sick, left, and never made it home.

I'm covering this on top of Gloria.

Give it to the rookie.

- Eileen. - No.

I didn't even ask a question.

If it includes human-interest clickbait, you don't have to.

The Governor's Office is holding a presser.

I need someone there. You can do this in your sleep.

This is me asking for a favor.

Please.

Good morning.

25-year-old Henley Madison Scott

of Houston, Texas, was reported missing this morning.

On behalf of Governor Thacker, I want to extend

our thoughts and prayers to Henley's family

and commend the efforts of the Coast Guard

and State Troopers who are working in tandem to find her.

I will take questions, but this is an open investigation.

Yes?

Emma Darview, Juneau Empire.

How large is the search radius?

At this time, the maritime search is 70 nautical miles.

Ria Critchfield, Ketchikan Daily News.

How long do they expect she can stay alive in the water?

The estimated time of survival is six hours in those waters.

So she's been in the water now approximately how long?

I'm sorry. You are...?Oh, sorry.

Uh, Eileen Fitzgerald, The Daily Alaskan.

Henley's been missing for almost six hours.

And how extensive is the search?

Several Jayhawk helicopters have been deployed,

a response boat from Station Valdez,

and the Coast Guard cutter Endurance.

That's a big operation.

The Governor is personally committed

to bringing Henley home, and no expense will be spared.

That'll be all.

How was the presser?

Big turnout. Helicopters, search boats.

You name it, they're doing it. Where we at with Gloria?

I've been trying to track down drug dealers in Meade.

If Gloria left Skeeter's looking for Oxy,

she must have talked to someone.

Any more leads on Skeeter?

I've got Gabriel scrubbing social and checking traps.

There's nothing. This guy is a ghost.

Or really good at hiding. Keep on him.

How was the presser?

Riveting.

I'll write it up.

Thank you. Alright, people!

This Henley story is getting a lot of traction.

The Times, the Post, USA Today, cable news.

But I don't want to farm you out as stringers.

How much lead time do we have before the talking heads fly in?

We have a minute before they land.

It's a local story, ours to tell.

Let's tell it first and best.

Doesn't this story reek of Missing White Woman Syndrome?

Perhaps, but it's eyeballs. The entire country's watching.

Yeah, but Jade Jacobs disappeared two days ago,

and you don't see her face all over the news.

Roz, you know we can't not tell the Henley story.

Okay, well, can we split up our manpower a little bit and not feed the beast?

She's not wrong. Henley's getting a lot of coverage.

You should have seen the turnout at the presser.

It'll only get worse when cable news shows up.

They're gonna drown us in their coverage.

True, but maybe there's an angle here.

Two women disappeared. One white, one Yup'ik.

- A comparison piece? - I'm down with that.

Me too.

I like it. Follow the money.

I'll dig into how much is being spent to find Henley.

I'll do the same with Jade.

I need hard numbers. Then it's a story.

I like this idea. Overdue.

It was pretty much your idea. Was it?

- Tale of Two Searches. - Let's do it.

Try and get some shots in the war room.

Are you gonna try to get in?

Not gonna happen with the gate keeper.

Unless I bring lunch.

Ah. Tataki. Nice.

What's Tataki?

It's sushi. Super fancy.

$2,300 for lunch.

Sorry, ma'am, no press.

So does that mean no sushi?

Hey. I know her.

Commissioner Haynes, Public Safety. She's--

Commissioner Haynes, hi. Eileen Fitzgerald, The Daily Alaskan.

- Hello, Eileen. - Uh, I was just curious,

how much does it cost to operate a Jayhawk helicopter?

About $14,000.

A day?

An hour.

Wow.

And how many are being used to search for Henley?

Three.

And how much does a Coast Guard cutter cost?

Uh, about 17 grand.

An hour? Hm.

And we're also using two C-130 turbo-prop planes.

And how much does that run you?

Oh, about $18,000.

Just to say it, we are sparing no expense

to find this young woman.

That's-- that's great.

So all-in, how much would you say

that this search is costing you?

Well, if I had to guess, I'd say

somewhere in excess of a million dollars.

A million dollars.

That's, uh, a lot of money.

Well, when the Governor said spare no expense, he meant it.

Excuse me.

Enjoy.

Thank you so much. Mm-hmm.

Ken. Stan.

What do you got for me?

Well, the Pritchards keep their noses pretty clean.

So... there's no connection between them and Frank Moses?

I didn't say that.

What am I looking at?

The Pritchards own a development firm

that bought up several parcels of land across the state.

And why would they do that?

You see how they're all next to each other?

Uh-huh.

I think they're building a road.

A road to where?

That's the question.

This land is protected.

And if it wasn't protected, how much would it be worth?

I'm not sure.

But if Conrad Pritchard is interested in it...

...I'll keep digging.

Thanks.

Aaron.

Stanley.

Good to see you. To what do I owe the pleasure?

The quarterly reports just came in.

And they aren't great, I take it?

No. Subscriptions are down.

Wondering if you had any insight on how to get them back up.

You know, this cruise-ship story is getting a lot of traction.

That could help.

Will it help enough?

Honestly, I don't know.

Can I ask-- are you getting pressure on this?

I'm here because I'm looking at the operational numbers

and I don't like what I see.

But to be clear, I'm the one driving this, not my father.

I wasn't trying to imply--You weren't?

I want this paper to work.

You above all people should know that.

So do your job.

Make it work.

I'll see you in there.

Hey!

Hey. Glad I caught you.

Listen. There's this thing tonight.

Uh, a gala. I wondered if maybe you'd consider--

Yeah, I thought I, uh, made it clear we're not doing this.

W-W-We are absolutely not doing that.

I'm not asking you out on a date.

Strictly a business request.

Okay.

It's a gala for the arts.

It'd be good for the paper if you were there.

Yeah, no. Galas aren't really my jam.

But have fun.

A million dollars?

That's what the Commissioner said.

I want to go back. I have some questions for her.

We still need to cover the actual search, though.

You wanted to see me? Yes.

Feel like taking a road trip to Seward?

Ooh, I haven't been back up there in a while.

Not since my beautiful Eleanor.

Sounds saucy. Do tell.

My Phantom. 21-footer. A perfect boat.

Not saucy.

Mm. She was. Very. A real beaut.

I need you to cover the Henley search.

Will do. I got contacts up in the harbor.

You mind if I take Miles and Maisie along, get some art?

- They're all yours. - Who's Maisie?

The drone.

You guys really like to name things, don't you?

Got your Slack. You're good to cover the grid search for Jade.

- Thanks. - But I can't give you Miles.

I need art for my story.

He already left for Seward with Bob.

Bob? Why? He's covering the Henley search.

Don't we have enough art on the Henley search?

Not ours. You'll have to make do.

Seems like we're always "making do"

when it comes to Missing and Murdered.

Bob got to me first.

Stanley Cornik.

Is that another editor looking for Henley coverage?

Hello, Steve.

How are things in Boston?

Your truck's ready to be picked up?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Just work.

Eileen?

Believe it or not, no. Stanley.

He won't give me a photographer.

It's so frustrating.

Aren't you guys always understaffed, though?

It's just this story.

I want to do it right, but it's so heavy.

Hey, you're doing your part. You're making a difference.

Let's go get my camera. I'll be your photographer.

What happened to your seminar?

You got the green light?

No more TA'ing.

Just writing my dissertation.

I'm a free man.

Well, academically.

That's amazing, babe.

So, can I be your camera boy?

Hell yeah. Yeah!

Can't say when exactly.

There's no security footage of the girl falling overboard?

Not that I've seen.

Best we can tell is she was in an off-limits spot.

No one else was around.

What about the Man Overboard System?

Radar and infrared didn't pick her up in the water?

I can't comment on that.

- I'm sorry, Bobby. - Craig, you're gonna

get reporters here from all over the country.

You know I'll do right by you.

Why do you think I'm standing here?

Then tell me why the Man Overboard System

didn't detect the girl in the water.

It was never installed.

But it's the law. It has to be.

What do you want me to say?

I gotta get going.

Bob. Check it out.

Can you get in there closer?

"Panama."

Hmm...

Please remember to stay arms-length apart.

If you see anything, stop and call out,

and I'll come to you.

Charlene. Roz.

Yagheli'du.

Chin'an.

Thank you for being here. Any exposure will help.

This is Jindaháa. - He'll be taking photos. - Nice to meet you.

Have the APD been by?

No. Only the community.

Jindaháa: That's not surprising.

How long has she been missing?

Close to 50 hours.

If we don't find her in the next day,

it's unlikely she's gonna be alive.

Is her family here?

Yes. Her mom, Iris, is. She's over there.

Lots of friends and family, too.

It's a good turnout.

Can I speak with her?

Yes. Come.

Iris? This is Roz Friendly.

She's from the newspaper.

Waqaa.

Mrs. Jacobs, I'm so sorry for what happened.

Do you know my daughter?

I don't, but with your permission,

I'd like to write a story saying what is being done to find her.

Can I ask you a few questions?

She wouldn't walk off like this.

That's not who my Jade is.

She's smart.

She has so many friends.

She's a happy g--

She's a happy girl.

Commissioner, one more question.

Are you just opposed to pressers?

A little bit, yeah. It feels, uh, impersonal.

Real quick, were you aware that while the search for Henley is going on,

there's another search under way for Jade Jacobs?

She's an Alaska Native woman who went missing two days ago.

I don't know anything about that.

But if a million dollars was spent to find Jade

and all the other missing Alaska Native women,

the state would go bankrupt, right?

I know what you're trying to do here, but it's not our fault.

It's not your fault?

That we're spending all this money to find the girl.

Then whose fault is it?

Yours.

What do you mean?

Look around.

Whenever a white girl goes missing,

my phone blows up with you people hounding me

to find out what's being done to find her.

Gotta wonder why there's so much pressure to find Henley,

but not so much to find that other girl.

Jade Jacobs.

I think you know why.

You people will hold us accountable

if we don't find Henley.

But if we don't find Jade? Not so much.

The cruise company didn't install the M.O.B. system

because it flies a Panamanian flag.

So they don't have to follow U.S. law?

No. And get this--

they don't have to reimburse the Coast Guard

for the million-dollar search, either.

Then who pays for it?

We do. Taxpayers.

- Hell of a loophole. - I agree.

I'd like to see what Thacker has to say about it.

Keep digging. There's another presser in an hour.

- Another one? - We did some digging on Henley.

Turns out she has two misdemeanors.

A D.U.I. and a possession charge in Texas.

This just keeps getting better.

You know who else had two misdemeanors? Gloria.

Doubt they'll broadcast Henley's criminal record

like they did Gloria's.

Maybe I'll attend their next performance.

I'll join you.

I'm asking for help from everyone to find our daughter.

We need your prayers.

Henley, if you can hear me, we love you,

and we're doing everything we can to find you.

Thank you, Mrs. Scott.

We do have a small update.

The Coast Guard has expanded its search

and is now exploring islands in the search radius.

I'll take questions.

Oh, uh, Karl Folkes, NSN.

How much has the search radius expanded since this morning?

The search radius is now at 90 nautical miles.

Bob Young, The Daily Alaskan.

Can you explain why there's no Man Overboard system

on the ship?

Safety is our foremost priority

at Gold Star Cruises International,

but M.O.B. systems have high rates of false positives.

Ben Morehurst, ANNC--They may be imperfect,

but wouldn't you say the real reason you didn't install it

is because your flag state is Panama,

so you don't have to follow U.S. law?

And is it true Gold Star Cruises is expensing its operating costs

during the search, which means it's actually

profiting off of Henley's disappearance?

Okay, I would like to focus on the victim here.

Henley is our top priority.

Great. Roz Friendly, The Daily Alaskan.

Can you speak to the fact

that Henley Scott has a criminal record

and that alcohol was involved in her disappearance?

I'm not sure why you're trying to tarnish

the reputation of an innocent girl,

but your question is nothing short of victim-blaming,

and it has no relevance here.

I completely agree. I'm just confused

why alcohol and criminal records were included

in state and local news releases

in these cases of missing Alaska Native women.

I'm glad you brought this up.

The MMIW crisis is a serious issue for Governor Thacker,

so much so that he recently appointed a task force

specifically dedicated to the search and rescue

of missing Indigenous women.

Okay, but can you answer my question?

I just did. I'll take another question, please.

- They find Henley yet? - Nope.

And they're expanding the search.

It's been, what, 14 hours at this point?

They're probably looking for a body, right?

- Probably, yes. - Jade could still be alive.

Does anyone know anything about the Governor's MMIW task force?

I know when Thacker wants to bury a problem, he appoints a task force.

You know how we can get our hands on the budget of this task force?

Public funds, public record. Give me two minutes.

Roz? Yeah?

I've been asked by the Governor's office

to "talk to you" about your behavior

at the press conference.

Your behavior?

I was way out of line. Kept asking questions.

Well, they're asking that you be a little more discreet.

Looks like you touched a nerve.

Are you done "talking" to me?

I am. Good chat. Where you going?

Back to the grid search. For Jade.

I thought you already covered it.

I did. I wrote it up.

So why are you going back?

She's still missing.

Here are the audited financial statements.

Thanks.

Looks like it's my turn to touch a nerve.

I do love a spreadsheet.

Um...

It seems like a pretty straightforward

financial statement.

I was hoping you could tell me what I'm missing.

Okay. Here's something.

What? Do you see this?

- Yeah. - Looks like most of the money

is going toward something called an "Awareness Campaign."

So most of the money is going towards PR.

Hmm.

"Hmm" what?

All the tax ID and routing numbers

are for the same company. It's, uh...

Concordia Public Relations.

You gotta be kidding me.

What?

Anchorage is a small town.

I told you.

I was thinking about what you said earlier.

How are you keeping track of all the Missing?

We put the calls from the tip line into a spreadsheet.

And what are you doing with it? I mean, besides gathering data.

What do you mean?

Well, a spreadsheet's just a spreadsheet.

How are you visualizing it for your readers?

Roll-over maps? An interactive visual treatment?

Are you nerding out on me right now, Dr. CompSci?

Indeed I am.

Roz! Hey.

What are you doing here?

Uh, I'd like to be of service.

Oh, thank you.

Stanley. Jindaháa.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Good to see you again.

Hello?

Hey. Where are you?

At Jade's search.

You talk to the police there?

Police? What police?

Not one cop there, huh?

Where's the Governor's task force?

They're not here. Stanley is, though.

I'll put you on speaker.

The more I learn about this task force,

the more Thacker has to answer for.

What'd you find? I'll fill you in later.

You call the Governor's office for comment?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I got the runaround.

His schedule is public record but only after the fact.

His rep told me she'll tell me tomorrow where he is today.

Likely he's going to the gala.

What gala?

Governor's Arts Gala. Big photo op.

Funny. I was thinking of going to that.

I'll call you back.

She's going to the gala?

Full of surprises, that one.

Hey! I found something!

Don't touch it! I'm coming!

That's Jade's bracelet.

That means she could be close by, right?

We gotta keep moving! Everybody, let's go!

Ms. Fitzgerald. You clean up nice.

You clean up even nicer.

Thanks for allowing for my change of heart.

When it works in my favor, always.

Curious.

What changed your mind?

Felt like dressing up.

Is the Governor here yet?

I haven't seen him yet. Champagne?

Hey, Claire. How's, uh, life at The Daily Alaskan?

Stanley still got you grinding away at the Mayhem?

Hey, Dennis. How's the blog?

That's funny.

I think they do these buffets for us journos.

Yeah. Funny. Mm! Good.

See ya, Claire!

Eileen.

Jamie. What are you doing here?

Uh, well, it's a little embarrassing, actually,

but I'm getting an award.

Well, that's great. For being a pilot?

Uh, no.

Um, for my new collection.

Congratulations.

Oh, uh, Aaron, Jamie. Jamie, Aaron.

Congratulations.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Uh, I don't really know if I believe in awards,

but it felt rude to say no

and I could certainly use the dough.

Plane repairs?

New rotor kit, actually.

What do you fly?

A Beaver.

Ohh. I love those planes. Super fun.

I had one when I was a kid.

I still have mine.

Very nice to meet you, Aaron. I should go prepare.

I'm, uh, doing a reading later.

Old friend?

New, old. Yeah.

Seems cool. I'm glad he won the award.

My father actually funded it.

Wow.

- Is your father here? - He is.

I'd love to meet him.

Hey. I just looked at Jindaháa's photos.

They're good. Thank him for me.

I will. Thanks again for coming tonight.

I'm glad I did.

But just to say it,

I'm never really trying

to short shrift your work here, Roz, or anyone else's.

I don't play favorites. I just have limited resources.

I know. It's just frustrating sometimes.

Trust me, I know.

Quite frankly, it's embarrassing

not being able to support you guys properly.

It pisses me off.

Well, if I'm being honest,

it kinda makes me happy that it does.

You think I got these wrinkles from smiling?

Ah.

You think Jindaháa was serious about turning our data

from the tip line into a visual treatment?

Very serious.

It could really show people the scale of this crisis,

put a human face on it.

Can you have him do a mock-up of the design?

I'll take it to Pritchard, try to get some money.

Really?

Yeah, really. Why?

Nothing. Thanks, Stanley.

Hm.

Dad, meet Eileen Fitzgerald.

Ah, the new star of The Alaskan.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Pritchard.

Conrad. Please.

Aaron can't stop raving about your work.

That, uh, piece on the Meade Police Chief was excellent.

Agreed. Thank you.

I understand that you're the director

of Concordia Public Relations.

It's a small piece of my portfolio.

Well, did you know that 85% of the budget

for the Governor's MMIW Task Force

went to Concordia for a PR campaign?

I did not.

Are we on the record?

Until you say otherwise.

I'll tell you what. I'd be happy to put you in touch

with our Director of Communications.

Just a thought-- that money could probably be more helpful

funding actual searches for missing women.

You'll excuse me, Ms. Fitzgerald.

Son.

The hell was that?

That was me doing my job.

You accepted my invitation

so that you could chew out my father?

Were you aware that's how your family makes some of its money?

The next time you want to use me to embarrass my old man...

give me a heads-up first.

We covered potholes three months ago. I wouldn't do it.

Yeah, and it was a snoozer then.

Okay. Drop the pothole idea. Another pitch.

So, the Office of Child Services

is violating parents' rights by not--

No. You can't toe dip that. You'll be on that for 6 months.

Agreed. It's a project, not a story.

Okay. What about this? So, my friend Lisa

works at the Anchorage Museum of Modern Art.

She told me that they're replacing the curator

with someone from Minnesota. I want to profile her.

That's an off-the-news feature.

Agreed. What's the news?

What do you mean?

So if the head curator was replaced, what happened?

I have no idea.

Exactly. There might be a good story there.

Yeah, find out what went down. If it's any good, pitch that.

And, Gabriel, if it turns out the last curator was let go

because he was also an eco-terrorist, I will kill you.

Yeah. Me too.

♪ Unani imarpigmiqa

Hey, you know this area's reserved

for award winners, right?

How's the poem?

About to find out.

Tonight's the maiden voyage.

Haven't heard from you in a while.

Uh, yeah. I gu-- I guess I just figured

you weren't interested in seeing anyone.

I was wrong, apparently.

He seems like a nice guy.

He's alright.

He's also my boss.

That sounds tricky.

Not really. We're not together.

I'm here for work.

Does he know that?

Jamie? You're up.

I'm up.

"Say mountain when you mean memory."

By honor of the woods, she remains.

In the hull of lost things--

Her face, open like the neck of sweet August nettle

Like her, they take on light,

Like fog off the lake--

As the sun bends its way

around another valley;

What I took was flight

Like a bird, I chose sky.

She chose night.

Alright, well, thank you so much.

Hi. Hi.

That was lovely.

Yeah? Thank you.

Do you think we could, uh, start over, maybe?

Eileen Fitzgerald.

Jamie Goodwin. Poet pilot.

I am a fan of your work, Mr. Poet Pilot.

Ah, that's so crazy because I'm actually

a huge fan of yours, as well.

I'm really sorry. I will be right back.

Excuse me. Governor.

Eileen Fitzgerald, The Daily Alaskan.

It's an honor to meet you.

It's nice to meet you.

It's great to see so many resources

being employed to find Henley Scott.

Such a shame what happened, but I am hopeful we'll find her.

I am, too, but why is it that taxpayers

should foot the bill for the search?

Shouldn't the cruise companies be held responsible?

It's a complicated issue.

The cruise industry is a vital part of the Alaska economy.

We want to support our partners where we can.

Besides, you can't put a price on life.

Actually, you have. One million dollars.

That's how much is being spent to find Henley.

And every life is valuable.

To that point, an Alaska Native woman named Jade Jacobs

is currently missing, and the amount of money

spent to find her is less than your interagency's sushi lunch.

If you got your facts straight, you would know

that I appointed a task force

specifically dedicated to the MMIW crisis.

I've been digging into that task force.

I'm just curious, why is it that the budget is primarily

going to a PR campaign and not to saving lives?

Look, I know you came to this fancy event

with a lot of gotcha questions,

but this is more complicated than you know.

What you're talking about is apples and oranges.

Governor, can you tell me

who are the apples and who are the oranges?

I have nothing more to say.

Okay, but we are publishing a story on the disparity

in the search and rescue efforts,

so if you think of something to say,

I'm available for your comment.

Damn it, Dennis.

Looks like Eileen was the belle of the ball.

You could say that. Good work on the Governor.

Seemed like fun.

Looked for you. I didn't see you.

You're the talk of the town.

Just doing my job.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

- What's up? - It's none of my business,

but if, um, if you're not careful,

people are gonna notice.

Notice what?

Don't get me wrong.

I-I don't care. But people gossip.

What are we talking about?

You and Aaron Pritchard.

Nothing happened.

But I appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks again for coming and sharing Jade's story.

What happens now?

I'll read you the story before it gets published

to make sure everything is accurate.

And in the meantime, if you think of anything I need to add,

just call me.

It's been 72 hours.

I want to believe that she'll come home.

But what if she doesn't?

They found the blond girl's body.

NSN Anchor: The nation held its breath

during this seemingly endless search,

hoping against hope the Coast Guard

would find Henley Scott in these frigid waters.

And earlier today, human remains were discovered

that are consistent with her description.

Now the nation will collectively mourn

the loss of a 25-year-old woman

who disappeared from a cruise ship

off the coast of Alaska.

Excellent.

Two things, people!

First, one of our subscribers tweeted this.

"The Daily Alaskan nailed it.

This story wasn't about the search for one missing woman,

but why one woman's life is valued more than another's."

I couldn't agree more.

By the way, the Times and Post

are picking up our stories.

Not because we were first-- we weren't--

but because we told it best.

Congrats.

Second, I'd like to buy you all

a well-deserved drink after work at the Beard.

Powerful stuff, you two. Excellent reporting.

Thanks, Bob. You too.

I might have something on the Gloria Nanmac story.

I didn't write the story when she went missing,

but I did write the folo, when they found her body.

I know. We read it.

I wanted to dig deeper, but I was on Mayhem.

I had to move on.

We get it, Bob.

Yeah.

Well...

What you wrote about, uh, the search for Jade reminded me

of a conversation I had with a young woman up in Meade.

She described how the community came together

when the police didn't.

I never circled back.

Her name was Alice Porter.

Who is she?

A friend of Gloria's, from church I believe.

Gloria went to church? Sylvie never mentioned that.

No, she didn't.

Hope it helps.

Hey, Bob.

It takes a lot to push on your old work.

We appreciate it.

Spoke to Alice Porter.

That was quick.

She confirmed that she and Gloria

knew each other from church, but there's something else.

The pastor's name is Reed Gallahorn.

Why does that sound familiar?

Because...

it sounds like "Rega Horne,"

the other name on the police report.

You think "Rega Horne" is a misspelling of Reed Gallahorn?

Could be.

And if so, why is a pastor's name on a police report?

Only one way to find out.

Hey, superstars.

You ladies wanna rest on your laurels over at the Beard?

Bob, Claire, and Stanley are holding a booth.

Go ahead. I'll join you in a bit.

- You sure? - Yeah. I got this.

Just make sure you save a seat for me next to Bob.

Ugh. Let's just take the awning.

No. I'm gonna make a run for it. See ya!

Same. Last one in, buys!

Whoo! Austin Teague, still undefeated.

If it isn't my favorite pilot poet.

It is in fact me.

Any chance you're free for a drink tonight?

Or is this too soon and I'm not being cool?

I'm not a big fan of cool.

A drink sounds nice, but I gotta rain check.

My, uh, colleagues-- I promised them a drink.

Look at you being a team player.

Good for you. I'll take the rain check.

Well, it's a short-term rain check,

so be sure you cash it in soon.

Good night, Eileen.

Night, Jamie.

Eileen.

Who are you?

You know who I am.

Concerned Citizen.

Please don't do this.

You left me no choice.

Please, God. Don't do this.
