Why are you here for a
routine body transport?
I'm gonna stick around for a while.
(SCOFFS) Fuckin' knew it.
Look at me. I'm not here to
take the case away from you.
Why are you here?
Ya have protests around the mine,
ya had a shooting that ended
in a fight in the hospital,
ya got six dead bodies
in the local ice rink,
and a still missing person of interest.
You need to get this shit under control.
- I need to show up.
- So you can look good
for your Mayor campaign next year.
I'm fucking helping you here, Liz.
Besides, ya like havin' me in town.
(SCOFFS)
- Fuck off.
- (TED LAUGHS)
Listen.
Look, just to get you up to speed
those men died before they froze.
How do ya know that? We
haven't done forensics.
Oh, 'cause I did a independent,
pr pre-forensic evaluation.
(SIGHS) I don't wanna
know what that means.
Look I'm treating
this like a murder case.
You saw the Annie
Kowtok video I sent you?
You keep that on a need-to-know basis.
- Alright?
- Alright, copy.
It's good to see you.
What, you wanna come in
here and take my office too?
- Oh. Yeah, okay.
- Or can you find yourself someplace else?

PETER: Merry Christmas, Chief.
His name is Otis Heiss.
White male admitted to
St. Joseph's, April of '98.
"Burns on both corneas, ruptured
eardrums, self-inflicted bites."
You're, you are not terrible, Prior.
He's a German national.
No records of employment,
no bank accounts, no
credit card numbers,
social security's been
inactive since November 2006,
and no registered address
for the past eight years.
- So, no wife, no kids?
- Nope.
It's like no trace, like Oliver Tagaq.
Yes, but this guy has a long
history of disorderly conduct.
Alright? So, breaking
and entering, petty theft.
He's been in and out of rehab forever.
- Okay, move.
- Possession.
And if you look here,
he's picked up by a Trooper
in Noatak two months ago.
Zero sightings since.
- So he's a junkie?
- After the accident.
What was the cause of the accident?
That's the thing, there is no cause.
- It's not out there.
- (SIGHS)
Alright, let's get the units
out there lookin' for him.
Uh, motels, hostels,
flop-houses, dealers.
The men are out there lookin' for Clark.
We don't don't have anybody left.
What about your dad?
- He is at the airport.
- (SIGHS)
- Pickin' up his fiancée.
- Fine.
Well, get the men out there
lookin' for Clark and Otis.
Maybe they're in the
same place, who knows?
Okay, but, uh I mean, I'm
gonna have to put out an APB.
- That's, uh, that's updates, links
- Okay, go for it then. Do it.
Chief, it's Christmas Eve.
Well, get on it, fast, chop-chop.
- I really hate you.
- I hate you, too.
(RINGBACK TONE)
- Yeah?
- EVANGELINE (OVER PHONE): There's no ice caves
- in the area.
- (SIGHS)
Fuckin' Hank.
(WHISPERS) Hey.
- What do you mean there's no ice caves?
- EVANGELINE: Annie's video.
There aren't any ice caves
near where her body was found.
LIZ (OVER PHONE):
You know what that means?
It means she was killed in one place,
and then they dumped her body in town,
send a message.
You said it, not me.
What about those bones in
the walls in the video?
- Fossils?
- Yeah, maybe.
Where's Julia?
(SIGHS) In The Lighthouse.
I'm hangin' outside. I
- You should go home.
- EVANGELINE: I don't wanna go home.
- It's Christmas Eve.
- Fuck Christmas Eve.
Good.
I got an idea.
(PLANE LANDING)
(LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING)

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING)
LIZ: How bad is it with Julia?
I don't know, she's
Remember when you asked
me earlier if I pray?
Well she prays a lot.
And it's not a good
thing? Prayin' a lot?
(EVANGELINE SIGHS)
I don't know.
When my mom died
my dad told us to pray.
He said
pray with our hearts and she'd be fine.
And you prayed?
Oh yeah. (SCOFFS)
I prayed.
From the bottom of my
sorry-ass little
seven-year-old broken heart.
(CHUCKLES)
I prayed so hard, day and night.
My knees turned black.
Couldn't even walk at the funeral.
- Maybe you didn't pray hard enough.
- (CHUCKLES)
Fuck you.
- (SIGHS) Still no God, though.
- EVANGELINE: Mm-mm.
- (DOORBELL RINGS)
- Alright, you might wanna step in front of me.
- Why?
- Well, uh
(SIGHS) Just
forget it.
Danvers.
Hi.
- Can I help you with something?
- Good evenin', ma'am.
Uh, we're really sorry to bother you.
We just need to speak with
your husband for a few minutes.
Oh, you didn't.
Is there anyone in this
town you haven't fucked?
No, you can't be serious.
- We just need five minutes.
- This is my home.
- Okay, three.
- It's Christmas Eve!
This is a recording of a murder, sir.
ANNIE (IN VIDEO ON PHONE):
My name is Annie Kowtok.
- We do need your help.
- If anything happens to me
(ANNIE SCREAMING)
ADAM BRYCE: Umm, mm.
- LIZ: Well?
- Yeah, those are
those are definitely whale bones.
Monodontoides. Probably prehistoric.
How do we find this cave?
There's no caves in the region.
Actually, there are. There's
a whole ice cave system
up bordering the Brooks Range,
but, uh, it's a death trap.
There were a bunch of accidents
up there years ago, and it was closed.
Where are they exactly?
I could pull the maps
but it's gonna take some time.
- Everyone's out for the holidays.
- Ah.
But even if you had the maps,
you'd still need an expert to guide you,
there's, there's fissures everywhere.
One wrong step and the whole bottom
could drop out from under your feet.
So, what then?
We need to go there.
Please.
Other way to do this
would be to track down
whoever mapped the cave system.
- You got a name?
- One second.
Heiss.
- Otis Heiss.
- Wait, Heiss?
- Otis Heiss?
- You know him?
Yep, I asked Prior to
check the medical files
for anybody that had similar
injuries to the Tsalal men.
Only got one ping.
- Otis Heiss.
- Fuck.
WIFE: Adam?
ADAM: Uh, y-you, you
guys, you guys need to go.
- You're gonna get us those maps, right?
- Yeah. I'll get you the
Get 'em to ya. Get you the maps.

I'm communicatin' with the men
in the field and nearly done.
That wife of yours is
gonna kick your ass.
- Yep.
- (HANK CHUCKLES)
- Did Irina get in okay?
- Alina? She wasn't on the plane.
Oh.
Did she call?
Nah, I think there's some
problem with her cell service.
Somethin' must've happened.
Uh, her mother's been sick.
Maybe some emergency,
somethin' like that.
Yeah.
Listen, you didn't send
her any money, did you?
I was thinking seeing
as I'm all freed up,
maybe I can come over
tonight for Christmas Eve.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Uh.
That sounds Yeah,
that sounds really nice.
Obviously, just gotta finish up here
and talk to Kayla, but.
Take your time. I got nowhere
to be, no hurry to get there.

And the rest are all meth-heads.
EVANGELINE: This is amazing.
What were you, Rose, before?
You mean, before I was old and crazy?
(CHUCKLES)
No, I mean before Alaska.
Your name isn't Rose Aguineau, is it?
Ya never talk about it.
(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)
Well, I was a very serious professor
in a very serious school,
writing very serious ideas.
Why'd you leave?
Well, one Tuesday morning after coffee,
I sat down to polish some
pompous, useless article.
And I just had enough. I had enough.
Every damned word I'd written in
my entire life was meaningless.
Making so much noise.
So much noise.
It is a little quieter here.
Mostly.
Except for all the fuckin' dead.
(UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING)

KATE MCKITTRICK (OVER PHONE):
Liz, this is Kate McKittrick.
We need you to come to
the mine offices, now.
We have a problem.
(SIGHS)
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
Yeah, it's unacceptable.
Great. You, talkin'
about what's unacceptable.
What do you plan to do about it?
Well, first, I'm gonna go home,
'cause it's Christmas Eve,
and then I'm gonna call
a couple of guys to come
over here and clean this up
so that, uh,
it's gone before your
employees get back.
I wanna press charges.
- No.
- No?
- Yeah, no.
- You don't get a say in this.
- If I wanna press charges, I will.
- Yeah, well, well,
you don't get to fuck up my kid's life
just because you're pissed at me,
and you feel like maybe
this will make us even,
because you know it
won't do the trick, Kate.
Look, it's Christmas. (SIGHS)
Please.
(LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING)
Hm.
(SIGHS)
Yeah, I oughta strangle you.
Why do you always take their side?
Just get in the fuckin' car.

(RINGBACK TONE)
Hey, just checkin' in.
How's the room?
It's okay.
Quiet.
Good, good.
Get some rest, okay? I'll
see you tomorrow morning?
Yeah.
I love you, Angie.
I love you too, babygirl.

It's the same M.O. in both cases.

there be power in an ice cave?
(SIGHS) I guess that
is the right question.
Okay, where does that get us?
LIZ: Someone put a generator there.
Well, (SIGHS) you got Oliver Tagaq,
the fucking equipment engineer guy.
He's got access to the
emergency generator,
and he was defensive, and, and
hostile when we went to see him, right?
