Tribal

Rough day?

I've been there.

Tomorrow's gonna be better.

I'm getting close to the truth.

I can feel it.

Listen, lady.

I'm not feelin' real chatty,

so if you don't mind.

You want me to shut up?

Please.

Well, too bad, Mr. Man.

'Cause I'm not gonna shut up.

Cops can't shut me up.

Government and the evil priests can't shut me up.

You can't shut me up.

I've got rights.

- I've got a voice. - Good for you!

Why don't you take your voice over there?

Maybe you can help me.

Oh, God.

Have you seen her?

Have you seen Tricia?

Tricia Desiree Whitehorse.

My sister.

She's an Indian, like me.

Please...

Just look at her.

I can't get anybody to even look at her.

Look at my sister, please.

I haven't seen her.

Sure.

Look again.

She's real pretty.

I said I haven't seen her.

Hey Mister...

What?

Have you seen my stolen sister?

Hmm.

Mom, did you know Tom?

I knew of him.

Not really.

Your father would have.

Came by the firm years ago.

I actually spoke with him on a consult

but he ended up going with Samson and Associates.

Well, how did he get away with posing as an Indian

and taking millions of government dollars

in grants and concessions?

Tom's not the first one to scam the government

using our people.

Well, is it even legal?

Is he gonna get away with it?

Probably be jammed up in litigation for years.

- That's ridiculous. - Mm-hmm.

What's ridiculous was that hair situation yesterday

at the press conference.

I was going for tough cop.

Yeah, well, I still think that Michelle

should freshen your look up.

Especially if you're in front of the cameras.

Babe, you looked sensational, as always.

True.

Why do you think all those old ugly white boys

keep you there?

What?

Shit, I gotta go meet Carlos.

Carlos?

My personal trainer.

You don't think this awesomeness just happens,

do ya?

Thanks for the croissants, Jackie.

You're welcome.

She loves you.

I know.

Hey...

You're chief because you're strong, brilliant,

and a kick ass Native American woman.

And as the face of Tribal,

it doesn't hurt that your super gorgeous.

Just sayin'.

Thank you.

You're uh... You're kinda hot yourself.

Oh yeah?

What's up?

On Highway 9?

By Weaselhead?

How bad is it?

Okay.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

And the closer you look, the uglier it gets.

How many casualties?

We've counted 3 dead so far.

6 more have been transported to the hospital.

What do we know?

Looks like a hit and run.

Drive of that vehicle took off on foot.

And this is Tribal's case, because?

Car's registered to Margaret Redhawk.

Redhawk.

Yeah, so she lives at 73 Little Bear Road

on the Blackfoot Reserve.

We got a uni surrounding her house.

So, yeah, if she's there, we'll find her.

Any witnesses?

One of them saw the driver.

Didn't get a real good look, but...

she took this.

Giddy up, Margaret.

Well, the driver could've fallen asleep,

had sun in their eyes,

dropped coffee on their crotch.

What do you think Buke?

Well, it is Redhawk.

Could be anything.

Margaret had a history of driving drunk.

What kind of history?

I'm not comfortable talking about her

to the police.

I'm her sponsor.

Margaret trusts me.

Three people are dead and Margaret's missing.

You're not helping her by

withholding information from the police.

Two years ago, she crashed her car into a bus shelter.

Four people were injured... badly.

Thousands of dollars in property damage.

It was her third drunk driving conviction.

Her third?

But, there's no record of her doing time.

Not jail time.

She went to a healing lodge.

Did her a lot of good, I think.

She's been sober ever since.

As far as I know.

I'm sorry, I have to answer this.

A healing lodge?

What the hell is that about?

Buke...

What do you mean, healing lodge?

Contemporary correction strategies

can be difficult to understand

when someone is culturally ignorant.

Really?

Why don't you educate me?

In determining an offenders future,

it is prudent to consider their past.

Margaret grew up in an abusive family situation,

got pregnant at 17, battled addiction,

struggled, hard, to get clean...

And then went on to kill 3 people.

I need to make a call.

He's what's wrong with the police in this city.

So, when did you see Margaret last?

At her daughter's birthday party.

It was yesterday.

Ceci turned ten.

Margaret worked so hard to make it nice.

Hey, sis, the boys are here.

Oh, hello.

Hey kiddo.

What are they doing bringing beer in here?

Oh, they'll just have a few off to the side.

What can I do?

I can't stop them.

Are you drinking again?

Why would you ask that?

I know how you react when you're around him.

Oh, he doesn't get to me anymore.

You want me to say something?

I'll tell him to leave.

I have no problem with that.

What about Ceci?

Tell her that her uncle has to leave.

"Happy birthday honey,

but your asshole uncle has to go".

Jeese!

I'm sure no one but her

would have a problem with that.

Oh.

She's already fighting anxiety and separation issues.

I have to at least try to give her

some good family memories.

You're right.

And I'm sorry about the drinking dig.

That was...

Well, you're right.

He does get to me.

For the most part, it seemed to be

a nice family party.

And you haven't seen Margaret since?

No, I haven't.

Um...

I'm gonna need the address of the party

as well as the names of anyone who was there.

I'll give you what I know.

We get any leads?

Possibly.

You have any idea where she would be?

If she's hiding out with anyone, chances are,

she's with her mother, Ethel.
