Good.
Any cuts or abrasions up here?
I don't think so.
If Irene Vaggan wanted your wife dead,
she'd be dead, Lieutenant.
That tells me she wanted
to send you a message.
Any idea what it is?
That she's going to kill
Leroy Gorman and Billie Tsosie.
She wanted me to know there's
nothing I can do to stop it.
When they're dead,
then she's going to come back for her.
Not you?
She has other plans for me.

I need Irene Vaggan.
Don't have time to mess around.
Be better for you if you help me.
What do you want with her?
She kidnapped a 16-year-old Navajo girl,

How well do you know Irene Vaggan?
Well enough to know
the girl's probably already dead.
But until I'm certain,
I'm going to turn over every rock,
including the one you're hiding under.
You're never going to
see that girl again.
That would not be good for you.
