There's a meadow in my perfect world
Where wind dances the branches of a tree
Casting leopard spots of light across the face of a pond.
The tree stands tall and grand and alone
Shading the world beneath it.
It is here, in the cradle of all I hold dear,
I guard every memory of you.
And when I find myself frozen in the mud of the real
far from your loving eyes,
I will return to this place, close mine,
and take solace in the simple perfection of knowing you.
Hey.
You got blood on your shirt.
Yeah, I just came from work.
Who's the victim today?
Looks like it's gonna be me.
Want some coffee?
Sure.
So, I gotta go to the Rez tomorrow.
Figure I'd take Casey by to see your folks.
Something killed a yearling in the pasture behind their house.
Yeah, that's why I'm going.
Don't let Casey out of your sight on the Rez, okay?
Like I said, I'm gonna leave him with your folks while I scout.
It's too cold to drag him through the snow.
You know what I mean.
I know.
Yeah.
Case!
Dad?
Come on, bud.
- Okay, I'm coming! - Time to go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
What's your BB gun pointing at right now?
Come here, come down here.
Sorry, Dad.
Hey, what's the rule, bud?
Okay, gun's always loaded even if it ain't. Right?
- Yes. - Okay. Come on, buddy.
Put that in the truck. Hurry up.
- Okay. - Don't run.
I'll be back Monday afternoon.
Just be careful on the road, okay?
This won't be my first snowstorm in a car.
Okay.
Is this it?
Yeah.
Here you go, buddy.
You know, it's a good town, Wilma.
They got good schools there.
If I get the job,
we're gonna have to talk about his child support.
Jackson's a lot more expensive.
Well, you go get that job and we'll figure it out from there.
Don't you worry 'bout it.
Take Togwotee Pass, and don't go through Pinedale, okay?
This uh, this storm's comin' in from the south, so.
Yeah, you couldn't drag me through Pinedale with a rope.
I'll never set foot in that town again.
Well, good luck, okay?
Better hurry it up, he gets hungry.
Chow time, boys.
You okay?
Fine.
Gotta push his nose back when he rubs up on you like that.
- Okay? - Okay.
Hey, look.
Told you I'd get your hat dirty.
He's got the height advantage on me is the deal.
Is that right?
Well, let's fix that. Come on.
You gotta earn his respect from him.
And when you do that,
you stand in your own ground.
So, let's get you up on there.
Just like I showed you, right?
Who's got the height advantage now?
Huh? Who's got the height advantage? Just back him up.
Be gentle.
Till he tells you not to be.
Take him around.
That's it. Pass right by his food.
Keep on going. Keep on going.
There you go. You show him who's boss.
You wanna side pass him over this way?
Whoa.
There you go.
That's it, son.
Keep comin'.
Back him up. He wants his food. Back him up.
Look at that.
All right, come on in.
How 'bout that? Good job. Come over here.
Put your hand up on his nose.
Let him smell you, let him breathe you, let him know you.
He'll love you forever, okay?
Hey,
So, what do you think of that, son?
That was pretty cowboy, huh?
No, son. That was all Arapaho.
Hey, grandson!
Grandma's making you frybread.
- Did you have breakfast? - Just eggs.
Well, go ahead, get you some.
- Horses sense the storm, huh? - Yeah.
So, police chief called you to hunt the lion, eh?
He called me to hunt something.
I heard you lost a steer.
Yeah, I'll show where. It's a lion.
- Is that right? - Come on.
How's Wilma?
She got a job interview.
In Jackson, some hotel, I think.
- Jackson Hole. - Yeah.
Gonna live with the millionaires, eh?
I dunno about that.
I think the billionaires chased out the millionaires years ago.
Ah, save your money.
When the wolves start eating their Golden Retrievers,
that land's gonna go for pennies on the dollar.
Yes, sir.
Tell me what that is.
Yeah.
Well, it's a lion, all right.
There's two!
Three!
She's got both of last year's kits with her.
They chased your steer around for a while, it seems.
That's what the tracks say.
Mama's teachin' her kits how to hunt.
But she's teachin' 'em on livestock.
Mama just got her whole family killed.
Got gas in your sled?
Far from your loving eyes
I return to this place
And close my eyes again
Far from your loving eyes
Alone among the wind I run
I need emergency assistance.
Repeat, emergency assistance requested. Come back.
Fremont County Sheriff's office. What's your location?
The Wind River Indian Reservation, east of Boulder Flats.
FBI taking a while, eh.
Yeah, the road out of Riverton's bad.
I don't wanna move her until they have a look.
But I'm not gonna try to pull her out after dark.
We gotta get this show on the road.
We're losin' the tracks, Ben.
Well, it is comin' down pretty good.
You should let me follow 'em while I still can.
Can't let you do that
until it's okayed by the FBI, Cory.
Call her folks yet?
No, I wanna take the body to Lander.
I know it looks like Natalie, but then...
It's Natalie.
There's your feds.
What are these fools doing?
They can't see the road.
We don't have time for this.
I'll get 'em.
Your destination is on the left.
Turn left.
You FBI?
Are you Tribal Police?
No, I'm here to take you to 'em.
Look, it's very close. Just follow me, okay?
Yeah.
I'm Jane Banner.
You by yourself?
Yeah, it's just me.
I'm Ben Shoyo, I'm the Tribal Police chief.
That's Cory Lambert with Fish and Wildlife.
He's the one who found the body.
And this is his father-in-law, Dan.
He don't do nothin'.
We got the same job, eh.
Well, I- I'm sorry to meet under these circumstances.
So, do you wanna show me the body?
I don't mean to be rude.
I'm just freezing my ass off here, so.
The quicker the- the better.
Yeah, it's gonna get a lot worse
if you go out there dressed like that.
The body's five miles on snowmobile.
I'm afraid you'd be dead by the time we got there.
I got the call when I was at a weapons course in Riverton.
So, this is- this is what I've got.
Well, you should have a winter gear bag in that truck.
Well, no, it's not a government vehicle, it's a rental. I flew in from Vegas.
So, I'm just the closest agent to the scene.
You don't- you don't think I can- I can make it?
Oh, you're from Vegas?
No, I'm not- I'm not from Vegas, I'm stationed there.
I'm from Fort Lauderdale.
I'm sorry, if we're gonna keep havin' this conversation, can we...
Let's get you fixed up inside. It's gonna be great.
Thanks. Sorry, excuse me, thanks.
- See what they send us? - Yeah.
Thermals can make underwear wedge up your bottom.
But I guess yours are already there.
Here, this should fit. You're skinny.
Thank you.
Do you have gloves?
No.
Goodness. What were they thinking sending you here?
Thank you.
And you bring them back the minute you're done.
They were my granddaughter's.
They ain't a gift.
You hear me?
Yeah, of course.
Okay.
Hey, buddy.
I'm gonna need a couple more hours for work.
A couple? This is our day.
I promise.
- Okay? - Okay.
- Hang with Grandpa. - It's lettin' up, let's go.
God, it was a blizzard 20 minutes ago.
Well, it comes in waves.
It could be sunny for an hour
then you're right back in hell again.
The storm will be back.
That's something to look forward to.
Yeah.
Over here.
You got a positive ID?
Not positive, no.
Natalie Hanson.
We'll call that positive for now.
Does she live closeby?
Yeah, Fort Wakashie. It's like a... north a ways
What's "a ways"?
About a 30 minute drive.
Okay, well, she didn't run from home, then.
No one reported her missing? Her parents?
Nope.
Yeah... that's why we called you.
How experienced is your medical examiner?
Let's just say, he stays busy.
Uh, order a rape kit.
When he's done with the prelim, I want her body sent to Loveland.
And make sure her belongings go with her.
'Cause they need to get tested too.
I'm listing this as a homicide.
How well do you know this land?
Like it's my job. 'Cause it is.
Well, is there anywhere she could be running from?
Is there anything closeby?
Nearest house is
three and a half miles from here, southeast.
Sam Littlefeather's place is over there.
Yup.
Those boys could use some serious lookin' into.
There are no structures closer?
There's a drill rig five miles from here.
They got trailers for the workers, but...
That's closed for the winter.
Okay, so why would a teenage girl be out here?
Well, kids come out here on their snow machines and
have a big party in the snow.
Not barefoot, they don't.
What do you think?
I only know what the tracks say.
Okay, well, that's all we got.
Well, come here, I'll show you.
Right here, see this one, see how the toes turned out?
The front is much deeper than the back?
That says she's runnin'. Come here, I'll show you.
She ran until she dropped here.
See the pool of blood where her face hit the snow.
Now, it gets 20 below here at night.
So, if you fill your lungs up with that cold air
and you're runnin', it'll freeze 'em up.
Lungs fill up with blood, you start coughin' it up.
So, wherever she came from...
she ran all the way here.
Her lungs burst here.
She curled up in that treeline and drowned in her own blood.
How far do you think someone can run barefoot out here?
Oh, I don't know.
How do you gauge someone's will to live?
Especially in these conditions.
But I knew that girl.
She's a fighter.
So, no matter how far you think he ran,
I can guarantee you she ran further.
I gotta get back to my son.
Hey um, would you be willing to help me?
Hey, can he assist on this investigation?
What? He doesn't work for me.
And you got a lion to kill, don't forget.
There's three of 'em. And I didn't.
Sorry, what is it- what is it that you do, again?
I'm a hunter.
You're a lion hunter?
I hunt predators.
Good, so why don't you come hunt one for me, then?
Okay.

♪ Then I can't afford to dream ♪
Want some milk?
No.
No?
She's a girl who just lost her way in the snow. That's all.
Okay?
What's all this?
That's work, buddy.
Did she die like Emily?
She died in the cold.
So, she died like Emily?
Yeah, son. I'm afraid she did.
Hi. Sorry.
Yeah.
So, you found town okay?
Yeah, barely.
Did the family identify the body?
Yeah.
Did they give you a reason for not reporting her missing?
Well, she stayed with her boyfriend some.
They didn't think anything of it.
She was 18, free to do what she wanted.
Okay, Randy, you're on the clock.
I got about five minutes of this in me, so let's go.
I'll be quick.
Morning, Randy Whitehurst, I'm the medical examiner.
I'm- I'm Jane Banner, FBI.
Um, as you can see here, she suffered a deep laceration along her brow line.
Two separated ribs.
Frostbite in both feet up through her ankles.
Frostbite in her nose and on her left hand.
Uh, the frostbite on her feet is stage four.
You can tell by the bluing here. You see that?
Yeah.
Uh, vaginal wall is torn in different depths.
You think there were multiple assailants?
Can't determine that.
Could be one assailant who assaulted her multiple times.
Uh, I swabbed her and sent the sample by courier 355 00:27:07
