You'd think they'd want to be home for Christmas Eve.

I think that's exactly what they want, sir.

They all have someone they love missing from their family.

-When do we want it? -Now!

-What do we want? -Justice!

-When do we want it? -Now!

-What do we want? -Justice!

Move!

These women say their loved ones go missing twice.

Once in the real world and once in police files.

Today, they've come to La Sûreté du Québec to demand they be heard.

5,000 Indigenous women and girls have been lost to this genocide.

Ten women from the Iotenen'tón: Ni Mohawk community

have been reported missing in the past year

and the SQ do nothing!

I don't know, miss.

Why aren't you looking for my daughter?

-Where is Blue? -Get the fuck out of my face!

I don't give a shit about your rights!

Armand! Armand!

I am within my rights to protest!

Hey! Back up!

Back the fuck up!

-Stop moving. You're just making it worse. -Get off her! Get off her!

Give me the key.

-Where's your goddamn respect? -Sorry, sir.

I'm so sorry.

Armand!

Is Blue your sister?

Yeah.

How long has she been gone?

Over a year now.

Did she go missing from your community, from Iotenen'tón: Ni?

No.

She got a ride and never came home.

Hmm.

-Who's dealing with your case? -No one's dealing with our case.

And no one ever will.

Blue's been missing 13 months and 11 days.

Peacekeepers thought she ran away, so they asked SQ for help nine months ago.

We're still waiting.

How old is Blue?

-Eighteen. -You don't think she's run away?

Blue would never leave Pearl.

Pearl is Blue's daughter. She loved her more than anything.

This is us, just on the left here.

Come on. Let's get you inside.

Now, who wants cartoons and cookies?

We called her our little blue jay because when she was little,

she loved to play tricks on us, just hiding any place she could fit.

But this isn't a trick. She's out there somewhere

and she's scared and alone.

Will you help us find her?

Yes.

There he is, at last.

Merry Christmas.

Reine, I'm so sorry.

-You missed the champagne. -Jean-Guy must be here.

Finally.

-What, no Enid? -No, no, she's sick.

I left her with some chicken noodle soup.

Yeah, I told her I'd be as late as possible.

-Isabelle, Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas, Patron.

I'm sorry I have to leave so early.

I have two little girls at home who are very excited.

I understand. Good luck trying to get them to sleep.

Thank you for the gifts.

-You're welcome. -Okay, take care.

-Good night. -I'll show you out.

Oh. Hello.

Armand, mon ami!

Brought you your favourite. All the way from Scotland.

And not a hint of peat.

Oh!

Pierre! My Christmas is perfect.

So, what the hell happened today?

-When you drove that family home. -I didn't know what else to do.

Francoeur is gonna be gunning for you.

You know how many of these cases end up on my desk as homicides?

You're running an operation out of Iotenen'tón: Ni, aren't you?

You know that family? The Two-Rivers?

Not really.

I mean, we're investigating this guy Kevin Kis.

And Blue Two-Rivers is dating his brother Tommy.

We looked into her disappearance to see if there was any connection.

Her and Kevin took off when Blue and Tommy disappeared, so...

Did you find anything?

Peacekeepers are pretty sure those kids just ran off.

Now, we didn't find anything to suggest that they were wrong.

I mean, all the leads we followed,

they all said that Blue and Tommy were last seen

getting a ride with Kevin Kis in his truck.

-Did you trace him? -Tried.

Truck was last seen crossing the border.

Mmm.

Would you run those plates for me?

Sure.

But I am telling you, these cases are gonna break your heart.

Most of these families do not get answers

and I know you are gonna obsess about this.

Come on, Crie. It's your big night. We can't be late.

She promised.

You know, I bet she's gonna meet us there.

Little works of art.

It's a Li Bien ball.

This is the last one.

Your mother made these?

Made them.

Destroyed them.

She tore every ornament from the tree, the year I turned ten.

Glass got everywhere.

She laughed.

They took her away.

She always says she will and then she doesn't show.

She'll be there. Come on now.

Your mother wouldn't miss this for the world.

Crie. We're so excited about your singing tonight.

-Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas, Richard.

Oh no! Not like this!

Not like this!

I love you like this.

Not like this!

I love you.

Shit.

Come on, one more picture? Isn't that why I'm here?

I want to be with you, CC...

I'd rather be here than listening to a bunch of kids

whining at my daughter's singing!

I mean forever.

You're crazy!

They sold me a dream of Christmas

They sold me a silent night

Just him.

'Till I believed in the Israelite

And I believed in Father Christmas

And I looked to the sky with excited eyes

'Till I woke with a yawn At the first light of dawn

And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas

I wish you a brave new year

Decided to show up, huh?

Well, of course, I'd show up.

I'm here to see. I don't care about...

They said there'll be snow at Christmas

They said there'll be peace on Earth

Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell

The Christmas we get we deserve

Where were you, Mama?

I was there, wasn't I?

You know, I think there's one last

chocolate snowflake left on that tree.

I'm so sorry, Mama.

It was a mistake, CC.

No.

The only mistake around here...

was marrying you

and giving birth to that!

Here's your coffee, Ruth.

You think it's cashmere or kitten?

My money's on kitten.

She probably caught it and skinned it herself.

Who the fuck does she thinks she is?

Haven't you heard? She's the new you. She's written a book.

Written more than she's read.

Underneath that armour, I'm sure she's a fine girl.

CC's not all bad.

Showing Clara's latest art to the great Saul Petrov, no less.

Kind of hoping he recommends me to one of those fancy galleries

-that show his work. -Is she taking a commission?

-Sorry. I forgot the sugar. -Yeah, sure.

God knows she could use some.

Welcome, Madame and Monsieur, to Three Pines' Boxing Day Curling Match!

Give it up for the fiercest of females, The Three Graces!

This fearsome foursome go head-to-head

with the undefeated...

Ta-da-da!

Curl Power!

Three Pines! Let's take the time to welcome them back.

Welcome to town, ladies.

You look great.

We're getting started in just a few moments.

So now is the time to grab something hot from those bistro boys.

I know what I want to grab...

Almond milk, one shot latte with half a sugar

and half a sweetener, my love.

It's okay. It's okay.

You must be Richard. Saul Petrov.
