Previously on Revival.

Are these my Blackdeer files?
How did you get these?

The reason you were shot
is because you were

-getting too close to the truth.
-When she first became a cop

she was on the Blackdeer case.

The guy that killed
his daughter?

My gut says Aaron
was working with the person

who killed Em,
ut Brent was working for them.b

Let's follow the evidence
instead of your gut.

Stop throwing
the Blackdeer case in my face!

-Hi, Dana.
-Jesse Blackdeer?

I think the real question is

why do we have
the same murder board?

Drinking it only
gave you temporary relief.

- Where's Ibrahim?
- Back at Moore Creek.

I couldn't bring him with me.

-Why not?
-It wasn't up to me.

Martha is
being hunted

and my soldiers
will find her.

There's another way
to draw her out.

Families intertwined
and so are our stories.

Whoever killed me and my Rose,

they killed you, too.

Come on,
you actually know Dad.

He's gonna freak out
even though it's literally

a 15-minute bus ride away.

Your father knows
how important college is to you.

I think if you just
break it to him gently,

he won't overreact.

Much.

Well, it's more than college.

Mom, it's about
getting out of the house.

I need this
and I really don't want to

have to worry about
Dad just showing up on campus

and dragging me out of the dorms
because something went wrong.

He just worries about you.

Do you worry about me?

No.

No, you're
my little miracle, Em.

You are the strongest,
most amazing person I know.

Dad, I'm working.

Can we talk about this later?
Please?

Apparently you've had months
to tell me. There is no later.

I shouldn't have to hear
from your Uncle Don

that you're leaving.

God, I can't believe
Uncle told on me.

How come you could
tell him about it, but not me?

I wanted to tell you,

but I knew this
was going to happen.

-It's not a big deal.
-It is a big deal to me.

Rose, after your mom,
you're all I got left.

That's not fair!
This isn't about Mom.

There's just nothing
for me to do here.

This is about your Mom, though.

If you leave, her land rights
go back to the government.

I know.

Uncle told me.

But maybe it's
time to let that go.

Okay, Mom doesn't live
through a stupid land contract.

What your mother
left you isn't stupid!

-This is important! We need to--
-Dad!

Please, just go.

Okay, we'll talk
about this later.

I promise.

I just wish he didn't take it
so personally.

I've always
had to walk on eggshells

when it came to my mom.

He's never really
gotten over it.

I don't really care
where we are, you know?

I mean, even this place
is not that bad

'cause you're with me.

No, we're still going.

Sure.

But you want to give your dad
some time to, like,

cool down a bit.
I mean, there's no need to rush.

Tomorrow,
I'm on the train to Chicago.

Okay, but what about
all your stuff?

It's stuff.

We both loved that place.
Okay, it's perfect for us.

And if I don't
go now and lock us in,

someone else is going to
come and rent it.

And that'll just give us
another reason not to do this.

And next thing you know,
we'll be

stuck here until we're 50.

I just...

I need to take this step.

You, me, a shitty cat.

In the Windy City.

Mm. I can smell the smog
and the deep dish.

Mm.

Deal?

Deal.

You knew we always had a deal.

Oh, God.

Hey!

Rose?

Where you going?

Rose.

Hey, what are you doing
way out here?

Just passing through.
Where you headed?

The train station.
Chicago bound!

You want a lift?

Officer Cypress?

I see her. Don't worry.
Hey, Dana.

- Sir.
- Just wanna talk to her.

Hey, stop.

- What are you doing?
- No.

Why aren't you guys looking
for my daughter? Dana.

- It's okay.
- No, no, no. No. Okay.

Brent, let him go.

Stay outta my way.

Please.

It's been 72 hours. Three days!

- I know.
- This is bad.

We've alerted the authorities
in Chicago

and at her first stop in
Milwaukee.

Big city cops don't care about
a missing girl.

Especially one
off the reservation.

-No one ever cares.
-That's not true. I care.

Jesse, you know that, right?
I'm your friend.

I'm-I'm...
I'm not giving up on this.

Okay? I promise.

Dana, I'm telling you,
something happened to her.

I just...

I just feel it.

And every day
and every minute we waste,

we're not going to find her.

Dana, please. Please.

I'm not giving up.

Uh-oh. Don't tell my dentist.

How'd you get it unstuck
from the spinny thingy?

I just gave it a little -- oh!

You know? Fell right out.

I got them hip movements down
from the, uh, from the bowling.

Good tip.

Let me know if you want
a square of this, huh?

You know,
if I eat the whole thing,

you don't want to see that.

Did you talk to the manager?

Huh? Oh, yeah. Um...

Yeah, so, uh, you know how
the neighbor

heard yelling and a tussle,
you know, that night.

Well, turns out the night before
Jesse came to see her at work

and he was yelling
right in front of everyone

about her going away and, um,

turns out Rose did buy
a ticket to Chicago, but she,

she never got on the bus.

And that ticket?

Never scanned.

Oh, shit.

Hey, Brent, meet me at
the bus shelter off Stetton.

I think our missing person case
just became a homicide.

-Hey.
-Hey, Jesse.

We're going to need
to search the premises.

All right, uh, yeah, um...

Take you to her trailer.

We need to
search the whole house.

And I'm going to need you
to wait out here

with the deputy while we do.

Dana, what's going on?

I'm sorry, Jesse.

Dana,
you might want to see this.

What am I looking at?

It's a land ownership contract.
It's in the safe back there.

It's Rose's.

Why are you showing this to me?

This says that
Rose's land ownership rights

revert if she establishes
permanent residency

outside tribal lands.

Yeah, right, that's why I'm
so adamant about her staying.

I don't want her to lose this.

Yeah, or maybe you
don't want to lose this?

If she leaves, the land rights
revert to the government,

not you.

What are you saying?

It's motive, Jesse.

Hey, there, Elder Don George.
Do you have a second?

You find her yet?

No, no yet.

I was told
Rose notified the council

of her intent to relocate.

Well, she came to see me
a couple weeks back.

Why do you think she kept it
from her father?

Why do we all keep secrets
from our family, deputy?

Jesse is a proud man.

Protective of his family
and our ways.

Was it all protective?

Doesn't he stand to lose a lot
if the land ownership defaults?

Jesse only did
what's best for Rose.

That much I know.

You're a parent, no?

What would you give up
for your child?

No, don't talk like that, Ma.
Okay?

No, you're going to be
all right.

Yeah.

No, I gotta go, though.

I'm at work. Bye now.

How is she?

Uh, she's, uh,

she's holding up
best she can, you know?

But my, but my little brother,
it's, uh,

hitting him something fierce.

Little brother? He's your twin.

I'm at least a movie lengths
older than him, Dana,

so that's gotta
count for something, right?

He's, uh, he's trying to
pitch in with medical bills

right now and it's, uh,

you know, my salary here
doesn't make it any easier.

So, did you find anything
in the letters?

Oh, the, uh, the Bear letters.
Yeah. Yeah.

What does that mean?

Well, they're all addressed to

this individual named Bear,
so, uh,

sort of taken to
calling them that.

Who the hell is Bear?

Jeez!

You want to tell me
what the hell that is?

Huh?

It's an endangered form
of print media

known as a newspaper.

You told the Wausau Chronicle

that Jesse Blackdeer
is no longer a suspect.

Yeah. He's not. He's still just
a person of interest.

I mean, there's no physical
evidence tying him to this.

Really?

He was the last person
to see her alive

and they had
a public altercation.

Now, we're trying to
make a case here, Dana,

and you contradicting yourself
week to week in the press

is not helping anyone, okay?

So, if it's not him,

then who the hell
is the suspect?

Well, I'm looking into
this person called Bear.

No one seems to know
who they are,

but they had been writing these
long rambling letters to Rose

for years. Look at this.

And-and the last one
was about her leaving

and something about them
seeing each other one more time.

Uh, it could be, um,
a love thing.

So your suspect is the pen pal?

Where is the evidence?

I'm investigating,
but Dad, my gut is telling me

Jesse's not our guy.
Right now, all he's guilty of

is fighting with his daughter.
Does that sound familiar?

Despite your gut,
we're doing another search

of the Blackdeer property
tomorrow.

No. Come on, we've put him
through enough, Dad.

Talk to Brent.
He'll tell you the same thing.

I did talk to Brent,
by the way, who agreed with me.

He said
another search couldn't hurt.

Or, more properly,
couldn't hurt a tick on a fly.

Whatever the hell that means.

This...

Mountain Bay County
Sheriff's Department.

Oh.

Officer.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Where were you on November 5th?

Oh, okay.
So much for pleasantries, huh?

November 5th.

Uh...

I believe I was traveling.

Yeah.
You travel a lot, officer...?

-Cypress.
-Cypress?

No! Come on.

Answer the question, Abel.
Thanks.

Like I said, I was traveling,
you know?

Collecting new experiences,

new perspectives.
Getting out of the--

Where were you traveling?

Myrtle Beach.

All right? I like to get
out of here when it gets cold.

Do you have proof?

Well, yeah, I'm sure I've got
a receipt

of the plane ticket somewhere,
but you know, more importantly,

what are you even doing here
'cause I can chat all day,

but chatting with a Cypress?

Not really my thing.

So when I look up this receipt,
do I search for Blaine or Bear?

Huh.

And why would you say that?

I'm not the only one, am I?

Rose Blackdeer.

She gave you that necklace,
right?

A bear claw for her Bear.

What did you give her?

Rose is special to me.

I'll bet.

No, no, no.
Don't you do that, okay?

It is nothing like that.

She's one of the only people
that actually sees me,

who cares what I have to say.

You are twice her age
and you expect me to believe

that all you cared about
was her writing?

I respect her.
It's not like that.

What's it like?

Dana, you there? Over.

One minute, Jeannie.

Sorry, Dana,
but this is urgent.

They found something
at the Blackdeer home.

You're going
to want to see this.

Copy.

I'll be back. We'll talk again.

Yeah.

Anytime.

I don't know how that
got in there.

Dana, you gotta believe me.

What the hell's going on?

It's over, Dana. Move on.

Dae...

It's not good.
It's Rose's shirt.

We'll take it for testing,
but, uh,

it was in the furnace.

Must've fallen down the side
when he, uh, burned the body.

What? No!
That doesn't make sense.

Brent, how-how could we have
missed something like that?

I'm sorry.

Hey.

I want a lawyer.

Jesse, I'm trying to help you.

Really? 'Cause this is where
your help's got me.

You want me in there?

-No. Absolutely not.
-Dana.

-Get out.
-I think I should, you know.

Brent, I got this.

I got this. I'll let you know
if I need help.

All right.

- These are too tight.
I'm so sorry.

This is how
you treat a murderer.

-Let me see if I can--
-No, I don't want

-anything else from you.
-Jesse.

No.

I shouldn't have trusted you
in the first place.

This entire department
is rotten to its core

and you know it!

He was your friend!
He trusted you!

Jesus. Okay.
What? Is there a question here?

Yeah. Was it your dad who
planted the evidence or you?

How desperate are you
for a headline?

Question is how desperate were
all of you to close the case?

Just pin it on the Native man.
No one will blink an eye.

Some things never change!

Let's get you in here.

He was taking him to County
and got jumped in the car.

Blackdeer?

He's on the run.

Shit.

What's the status
on the north quadrant search?

Negative
on contact.

Shifting east
into denser cover.

Will advise if we spot anything-
-Copy that.

No update yet
n deputies Cypress and Rogers.o

[woman on radio This is Rogers.

Dana has eyes on Blackdeer
and is in pursuit.

Returning to her position now.

Jesse! Jesse! Stop!

Please!
You know I didn't do this!

Jesse, get your hands up!

No. I'm not going with you.

Come on, don't do this.

You're going to have to
shoot me.

Jesse!

My Rose is gone.

Let me go, too.

Thank you.

-Dana!

You let him go?

Visual confirmed, but he evaded

Pinsconsin Pride.

12-year regional champions.

And we've been to
Nationals twice.

I've been the team captain
for seven years.

Seven years? Wow.

And what about
the rest of your team?

I mean, have they always been
the same.

We've got, uh, Doreen, Paulie,
Zeb, Brent and myself.

And that would be Deputy Brent?

Oh, yeah. He's our top striker.

We would've won nothing
without him.

I mean, honestly, we'd be
celebrating a seven-year run

if he hadn't missed
the championship two years ago.

Two years ago? Was that common?

I mean, did he ever miss any
other matches or--

Ah, no. No.
He is dedicated to the cause.

I mean, yeah, even when he was

sick as a dog that time
he showed up.

And are the championships
the same time every year?

Yes, ma'am.
Third week of November.

Bowlers' Christmas.

Third week of November. Hm.
The only game

Brent ever missed
was on November 17th.

Which was one night before
he found Rose's shirt.

I don't follow.

He said he had food poisoning
and he had to sit out,

but this was
the first and only time

he's ever done that.

This is the same guy
who won regionals the year prior

while running a fever of 102.

And Jesse's neighbors said
that they saw an officer

at 8 p.m. at the time, but they
didn't think anything of it.

But why didn't
Jesse see them then?

It was a Thursday
at around 8 p.m.

He was at the tribal meeting.

And he knew that.

He had one window of opportunity
to plant the evidence

and he took it.

He framed him.

I need to get to Jesse. Please.

See you later, Justin.

Goodnight.

Jesse Blackdeer?

It's okay. You're okay.

You shouldn't be here.

Jesse, or I can
call you Justin,

if that's preferred.

You're that Wausau reporter.

Look, I ain't got nothing
to say to you.

Please leave.
Just leave me alone.

I'm not here for you.
I'm here for Rose.

Here.

We were friends.

And you're right.
I am a reporter.

But I'm not here for a story.
At least, not yet.

I've been looking into
Rose's case.

I know you didn't do it.

And I know that two years ago
you were framed.

How'd you find me?

Uncle Don. He helped me.

I don't understand.
Why would he help you?

I was in love with
your daughter, Jesse.

We were going to go together
to Chicago.

Do you know who took my Rose?

Not entirely, but I'm close.

Deputy Brent?

Oh, no. No, I'm not.

No applause needed.

I think he was involved.

I think that he planted evidence
in your house,

but I don't think
he was the one who took Rose.

Look, his mother was ill.
They had medical bills piling up

then I found this.

Four days after the
second search of your property,

after he found her torn shirt
in your basement,

he just walks into
Wausau General Memorial Hospital

and completes the payment for
his mother's treatment in full.

It's nearly $10,000.

So, somebody paid him
to plant evidence.

He was desperate
and they took advantage.

So who's he working for?

That's what
I'm trying to figure out.

Wait, where are you going?

To handle business.

You can't just waltz

back in there.
I mean, if anybody sees you--

I appreciate
you coming to see me, May,

but there isn't
a second that goes by

that I don't think about
what they took from me.

But this needs to end.

There needs to be some answers.

Where the hell did you go?

Oh my God!

Open the door! Open it!

Okay, but how does all of this
tie to Em?

This was Rose's.

She was wearing these
the night she left.

And this

we found recently.

This is Em's.
Where did you get this?

Moore Creek. Same place
we found the earring.

The sacred place.

Well, that could just be
a coincidence.

How do we know Moore Creek
has real significance.

Because that's
where I was murdered.

Remember how Mom had this thing
with the water being special?

She was right.

That is where Ibrahim took me
and the water...

That's what healed me,
but when I went fully under,

a memory came back
of this person

in an animal mask
holding me down and...

...he had this,

this symbol

carved on his chest.

This symbol has been haunting me
since Revival Day.

And I'm assuming Aaron didn't
have any carvings on his chest?

No. Look,

after I died,

they must have just left my body
to wash down the river

and into Bull Falls.

And when we found that,

I followed Em,
which led me to Aaron.

Who was also shot by Brent.

Is all of this enough of
a coincidence for you?

When we searched
Brent's phone records,

there was a text
between him and Aaron

sent around the time
Rose went missing.

It was a model of a car.

A dark blue Cutlass Supreme.

The USB drive that we took
from Aaron's house,

it had a text file on it,
but all it read was,

"dark blue Cutlass Supreme."
I mean, could--

could that be Bear's car?

Think you mean Blaine's car.

Wait, like
the crazy radio dude?

Blaine had one of
Rose's necklaces, a bear claw.

He said they were friends.

Do you have any reason
to suspect Blaine?

Our tribe's had land disputes
with the Abels for decades.

His father offered
a lot of money for our land.

That creepshow.
I knew he was not there

just towing a car.
And he was there that night.

Wait, Blaine was there
the night you died?

-Yes!
-Then it's time to go.

Jesse... Jesse, wait.
Jesse, where are you going?

Wait, wait, wait!
Where are you going?

I'm going to get the man

that killed my daughter
and your sister.

The last time you did this,
it didn't end well for you.

-Let them try that again.
-Reviver or not, last I checked,

-Blaine had a small militia.
-That's why I'm going with him.

Em, there are mercenaries
everywhere looking for you!

I think you know by now
I can handle myself fine.

Getting shot
and having you heal me again

is not part of my fricking
priorities right now, okay?

So please stay here.
Please, please? No. Stop.

Dana, let me go.

We don't even know if it's him.

-What are you talking about?
-I'm not saying it's not.

I'm just saying
we need to be sure.

Let me get JP to help.

We all trust him, right?
I can get a warrant.

I can search the premises

and get what we need
to make a proper arrest.

I'm ready to end this.

We are all ready to end this.

Your vengeance is not
going to bring our Rose peace.

Jesse,

I didn't come through for you
last time.

I know.

Let me do it for you
this time, okay?

It's not going to happen again.

Please?

What are you writing?

Uh, just some poetry.

May I?

It's-it's not really good.

I'm sure it's very good.

Every path finds its edge.

Silent crossing over dark

We mistake
the silence for peace

Forget that longing
can echo louder than rage

And the path we choose,
a pit.

A stream, an icy river

Is sometimes a return to
what we were,

to what we left behind.

We cross, dimly aware of
the depths beneath

but these quiet bridges carry us
beyond the dark.

Still, something yearns
beneath the ice,

a voice not spoken, but known.

It pulls, not with force,
but with a promise.

But what was lost still waits.

Like a memory of warmth
in a body grown cold.

Aching to return.

Unaware, we pass

over shadows waiting below
on an icy river.

It's still a work in progress.
I'm really rusty.

Rose also gave up writing.
Couple of years before.

I'm really sorry

about Rose.

Blue Cutlass.

You really loved her, huh?

I really did.

You ever had anyone like that?

Yeah.

Yeah, maybe.

Rhodey?

Em?

Holy shit.
Are you-are you okay?

Rhodey...Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I've been so worried.

I've called so many times.

-Are you safe?
-I am now. I managed to escape.

It's crazy. Um, listen, Em,
we can't talk for long.

You called just in time.
I'm getting out of here.

-Come with me.
-What?

Rhodey, no,
I don't-I don't think I can.

I'm with my sister and we are
so close to figuring this out.

Like, I know who killed me.

Em, listen to me,
you can't stay.

They've got some drug that
really messes with revivers.

You gotta get out.

Come with me.

What's going on?

What is it?

It's okay. Look, um,

can we at least say goodbye?

Okay.
Okay, yeah.

Yeah, just meet me
past the camp at Unity Drive.

Okay.

Mr. Abel.

-Mm. What?
-It's the angel, sir.

-What?
-It's gone!

What?

Tyler!

What? What did you say?

Em?

Em!

Have you seen my sister?

I'm sorry. I didn't see her go.

I guess she snuck out.

Shit. Shit.

Is...?

No!

You were right, Uncle.

I knew you'd bring her back.

No! Let me go!

PleaseNo!

I've got her.

I've got her.
I'll meet you at Moore Creek.

What was that?

It's calling me.

And I'm ready to go.

I'm ready now.

Our Rose can move on.

It's time for us to go, too.

Rhodey?

Em.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't cry. It's okay.

Look, I really
gotta finish this,

but then I can
come meet you wherever.

Like, Austin, or Nashville.

Or no, no, no! You,

you said we're going to
the ocean, right?

What's wrong?

I'm so sorry, Em.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

-What is this?
-So sorry.

Copy.
