Found

The sun is coming up.

What?

Nothing.

You've been holding back all night.

It's OK to say you're mad at me.

I'm not.

I'm mad at myself.

You've always been clear about who you are

and the lines you're willing to cross

to save a life.

I used to be.

But lately, I've been

blurring my own lines.

You saying I'm a bad influence?

You know I can't remember a morning

that didn't start at the precinct?

Even as a kid, my dad brought me in,

just like his dad did with him.

Being a cop is...

is who I am.

But fighting on the right side,

that's just... that's in my blood.

I don't know who I am without the badge, and it...

it scares me.

Well,

if you had to choose a new line of work,

what would you do?

Would you be an exotic dancer?

Instagram chef?

I play a mean French horn.

I was first chair

in my middle school band.

I defended it every week and won.

What about you, Gabi?

Anything you loved growing up?

I love them.

They're starlings.

Why are they dancing like that?

It's called a murmuration.

There are theories, but the actual reasoning

behind their synchronized flight remains a mystery.

"At the same time that we are earnest to explore all things,

we require that all things be mysterious."

- Walden. - Very good.

As you know, Thoreau spent two years living in that cabin

by himself, and he believed

that solitude was an incredible gift.

Gave him a new perspective on life.

I think I understand what he meant.

I've come to love it here too.

I'm glad you brought me.

I'm so happy you've come to accept our life together.

Do you think we could go outside and see them?

Gabrielle!

Gabi.

This is a surprise.

I'm usually the one going to the press,

not the other way around.

Is this her, the one that finds people?

- That's me. - Gabi Mosely, Ms...

My granddaughter, Denae Wagon, is missing,

and... and the press refuse to report on it.

My boss doesn't think that Denae's story is big enough

to be considered news yet.

She's pregnant and due any day.

Please, help me.

Of course I will.

That's Denae a couple of months ago

with her kindergarten class.

She was six months pregnant then.

I'm not resting until my granddaughter's found.

And neither are we, but in order to find Denae,

we need information.

So Denae lives here in D.C.?

Yeah, she moved off of our tribe's reservation

in Virginia about a year ago.

You still live on the reservation?

- Of course. - It's my home.

And Denae was coming home to have the baby,

and I've just been getting everything ready

for her and the little one.

When was the last time you spoke to Denae?

Yesterday morning.

It's about a three-hour drive to the reservation,

and... and she was supposed to be there by midnight,

but she never arrived.

Maybe she stopped at a hotel for the night.

She would have called.

Or... or at least she would have answered when I called.

And she's not answering.

Did you ask D.C. police to do a welfare check?

Police don't get involved with us.

I am going to need the name of every person.

Denae spent time with in D.C.

There's no list.

Just one guy, Charlie Rutledge.

He's the baby's father, and he lives with her.

- You don't like him? - That boy is a white devil.

And he is repeatedly asking her how much

her per capita payment is.

What is that?

It's money that's distributed

to tribal members from tribally owned businesses.

And Denae and... and Charlie have been fighting a lot

about money lately, and I think he's after that per cap.

We are going to do everything we can

to bring her and your grandbaby home.

Thank you.

You know, I wouldn't turn down a ride to the bus station.

Yes, ma'am.

- What you got? - Charlie was in a car accident

a couple hours ago, just arrived

at Washington, D.C., Memorial Hospital.

Lucky us.

I still can't understand why the police won't get involved.

Because Denae is Indigenous

and we don't know exactly where she went missing,

it leaves room for jurisdictional debate

with her tribe's law enforcement.

And debate means...

The victim inevitably falls between the cracks.

I'll give you three guesses what caused the accident.

Tequila, tequila, tequila.

Cops or lawyers?

When is the last time you saw your girlfriend, Denae Wagon?

You found her?

You saying she's missing?

No!

No, I...

just haven't talked to her since yesterday,

before my shift.

- What do you do? - I'm a mixologist.

So bartender?

Walk me through your day today.

I came home early this morning from work.

Denae wasn't there.

When she didn't answer her phone, I got worried.

I was afraid her car broke down or something.

Thing's a piece of crap.

I drove around looking for her,

and that damn sedan...

Oh... braked too fast...

Charlie?

- Oh, incoming. - Oh!

- Ew. - So Charlie really went

full-on "Exorcist"?

Missed Gabi's designer shoes by an inch.

He was in no condition to talk.

Thankfully, he didn't need to.

So he had scratches on his dominant hand,

as if he's punched something multiple times.

They're all scabbed over, so it was an old injury,

not from the accident.

Punched something like a person?

Possibly, or a wall.

I mean, he definitely talks with his fists.

Dhan, vet his work alibi.

And in the meantime, don't let Charlie out of your sight.

If he's done something to Denae, we'll know.

I am asking Trent to run a check on him,

see if he's ever been arrested for domestic abuse or... ah.

What is it?

Trent won't have access to the DCPD system.

He's been suspended.

Let me guess...

the zip drive.

How's he doing?

He's going stir-crazy.

But we can still use him to consult on this job.

We need the manpower, and he needs

something important to focus on.

I'll see if I can find a criminal record.

No, focus on the phone that I swiped.

Lacey, see if Shaker can help us with the criminal record.

Already got into the phone.

Looks like Denae and Charlie's

last text exchange got a little heated.

"You're a screwup and an ass, Charlie.

I needed you there for support, but of course you're MIA."

"It was one doc appointment.

"You are not the first woman to have a damn baby.

Get over yourself."

Wow.

I need that doc's information.

Texting it to you as we speak.

Sorry for intruding on your home, Dr. Potter,

but this couldn't wait.

I'm used to having patients drop by at all times,

so I'm happy to help.

I can tell you're someone who cares about

your patients' well-being.

Oh, my work is my life.

And my patients are like family,

which is why I'm concerned to hear

that Denae may be missing.

I only just saw her yesterday.

And how was she?

Did anything happen during that visit

that seemed to upset her?

Well, Denae asked me what I thought
