I don't think we've seen you on Broken Rock
since Monica's burial.
She picked out her favorite spot on East Camp for me
- to visit her. - Grandpa Long wants us to
honor Mom at the remembrance ceremony.
Asked about borrowing
her favorite necklace.
Chair's empty, if you've
got a minute to chat.
You want more than a minute.
But I don't have that to give.
- Bartender's my kid. - She's your daughter?
Marshal badge puts you on the wrong side of me.
That horse is a grenade with the pin pulled.
That's anger with legs.
I saw Monica's shoes by the door.
I'm guessing that's her horse terrorizing your ranch.

Thinking is the last thing you were doing.
He was Mom's.
And he's alive.
I just wanted to feel that.
There's wanting to connect and there's getting yourself killed.
You don't have to be so angry.
I am angry.
The only way left for this world to hurt me is through you, son.

Just out driving.

Um...
I can't keep him waiting though, so, I'll... I'll see you.
Who was that?
Old classmate from the rez.
She doesn't seem like herself.
Strange place for a kid to be.
How'd lunch go with Maddie?
Scar tissue's preventing healing. You know.
What'd you do to annoy her?
Besides not being in her life since she was five?
Well, being estranged for 20 years,
you can't exactly expect her to welcome you back with open arms.
The fact she is talking to you
is a positive.
Positive? Uh...
I tried to help her out of this jam,
and, you know, she just shot me down, so...
Healing from a painful past

Or that's her and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Hey, Harry.
¡Golazo!
As always, feels like I'm at a cultural disadvantage.
My dad raised me on baseball, not soccer.
- Double or nothing? - No way.
I'm saving my cash for a new place.
How much is your rent in Bozeman?
Given I'm hoping to pop smoke out of here,
I'm on a weekly lease, but it's a quarter of what I paid in D.C.
You looking to leave the rez?
More like they're looking to evict me.
Becoming a marshal didn't go over so great.
Little late, cowboy.
Spent the night hollering at that Dolly girl?
Thought you were done investigating me.
That's not a denial.
Hey, does it strike you as odd
that a Broken Rock teenager
would be wandering around a truck stop parking lot
in Wyoming?
Who's the kid?
Hayley Charlo.
A friend of my son's.
Mom reported her missing right after I left tribal police
about four months ago.
Missing. What, she run away?
Nobody knows.
That's how it goes with a lot of these cases.
Was she alone?
She said she was with her boyfriend.
My son said she wasn't herself.
Underage, out of sorts,
at a truck stop across state lines.
Could be a victim of trafficking.
Sex trafficking?
She's just a kid.
Okay, I get a little nervous when I walk into a room
and it's this quiet.
Cowboy may have stumbled on a trafficking case.
It's a girl Tate went to school with.
Tribal police have
limited resources.
Be nice to use ours to dig into this,
maybe coax 'em into asking for assistance.
Look, it's a worthy cause,
y'all, but we just caught an assignment, so...
Sammy LaChance. A...
...suspect in multiple homicide cases.
- We're going manhunting? - Not quite.
LaChance is a key witness
in a big federal trial up in Helena,
so we're on protective duty.
Government would rather protect a killer
than lift a finger for missing girls.

Must be a real monster they're going after to cut him a deal.
What I assumed.
But the case is actually against
a construction company
charged with defrauding the government
out of millions in a bid rigging scheme.
They're cutting a killer a deal over some couch change.
Good idea fairies strike again.
It's gonna be on us to keep LaChance safe
until his transport to Helena arrive.
Became a marshal to hunt monsters,
not protect them.
Can we at least do something for the girl that Kayce ran into?
Check the truck stop?
Okay.
Reach out to Wyoming State Police.
You saw Hayley?
Did she look like she was eating?
Was-was she happy?
It's hard to say, ma'am.
She said she was on a road trip with her boyfriend.
Do you know who that could be?
Right before she disappeared,
uh, I'd find her all hours of the night,
face lit up by that damn phone.
And I'd ask her who she was texting,
and she'd swear it was nobody and...
One night, my car's gone,
and I prayed she had gone to stay with Chrystal, but...
then the state troopers found my car in Spurling.
And-and I said, "I don't care about my car.
Where's my daughter?" And they-- I still don't have an answer.
So you haven't heard from her since?
None of her friends have either.
Mm, none know this guy.
Do...
Think she really went off with him?
Given what you shared,
seems likely Hayley met someone online
who groomed her and then lured her off of Broken Rock.
Oh, it's a cruel thing when your best hope
is your child fled the life you gave her.
Ow!
You can't blame yourself, Ellie.
My daughter Ava went missing just over a year ago.
He knows.
Worked that case till my last day on the tribal police.
Wish I'd been able to do more.
I know, Miles.
And, Kayce, you got a fighting spirit.
Like Monica.
Didn't realize you knew her.
After Ava disappeared,
I founded North Star,
an advocacy group that raises awareness
about girls missing from the reservations.
Chairman Rainwater allows me to work out of his office
to help spread this message.
Monica was committed to working with us before...
I'm so sorry.

I figured Ellie would want to know
that her daughter was still alive.
Of course.
But understand what you've done here today.
You've given Ellie something she didn't have a few minutes ago.
Hope.
Is that a bad thing?
Around here, hope is a knife that cuts two ways.
And since nobody has reached out
to the tribal police,
you're here in an unofficial capacity,
meaning you're spreading false hope.
If tribal police ask for assistance,
we could help.
Those requests have fallen on deaf ears many times before.
Local, state,
federal authorities were all too happy
to declare our missing girls runaways.
Maybe we can change that.
We've walked a similar path on this land before, Kayce.
Searching for a missing girl.
The search ended quickly.
And tragically.
Listen, this evil keeps evolving,
but the results stay the same.
And for the families,
the wounds never heal.
Could be different this time.
Well, we all know the chances of that.

No wonder Miles is so dialed in.
Guarantee he and Kayce have found a few trees to bark up.
Can't hurt for us to do some moonlighting of our own.
A look into Hayley and Ava's social media

Okay. Yeah.

Hey, escort's en route.
Let's go. Let's get you presentable

I got into Hayley and Ava's social media.
Looks like they both interacted with someone
who calls himself "green_eyezz44."
Thirst trap for girls who want to escape.
Engages them, lures them off the reservation,
then puts them in compromising positions
he can blackmail them with.
I wish I could get an ID on this sicko,
but the app only requires a first name to sign up.
He used "Noah."
Still, the hats and shades make FRS a waste of time.
Uh, trace an IP address.
It's masked by a VPN.
Wait. He just posted.
This guy is literally on the prowl right now.
You never mentioned you worked Ava's case.
Another instance of something I started but couldn't finish.
Lot of open wounds on Broken Rock.
Be nice to track down Hayley and Ava,
heal at least a couple.
Could help my standing in the community.
I'm not too comfortable here myself.
Bad memories?
Some of my best.
Andrea just got a hit on a guy

This issue of missing children
from the reservation has become an epidemic
for our people.
And I'm sure it is hard to combat with your...
limited resources.
The limit isn't just our resources,
but the will of other law enforcement.
Of all the indignities we face,
few are as insulting
as the indifference to our lost children.
Well, as a father, uh...
I... I-I can only imagine
the pain of a child gone missing.
A pain that's exacerbated
when men with federal badges get hopes up.
Kayce and Miles were there to just share some information,
not make promises.
Well, the promises are only empty when not backed up
from above.
One of my most challenging responsibilities
as chairman is knowing when to ask for help.
Not something men with power like to do,
especially when it comes to asking the very government
