Fighting off corrupt FBI agents and the predatory B.J.
This season,Dark Windsfeels heavier and more ominous than it has been in the past.
As Roxana Hadadi pointed out in herreview, we get to see a different side of him.
Until now, wed never known Joe to experience fear.
What frightens Joe is Yeiitsoh, a monstrous entity in Navajo folklore.
When we launch the third season, an injured Joe is being pursued by Yeiitsoh in the desert.
Whatever wounds he still has, theyre not healed: Chee is determined to book Shorty.
Through Shortys cousin, Winford, hes able to establish a reasonable line of suspicion.
Winford admits that Shorty had asked him to lie about their whereabouts on the night Ernesto was killed.
Elsewhere on the reservation, we catch up with the archeologists.
After examining the arrowhead that had been put in Ernestos mouth, Dr. Reynolds concludes that its fake.
In his barn, Joe finds a bloody knife along with a truly disturbing amount of swarming ants.
Much to Chees delight, the weaponplusthe bad alibi are enough to bring Shorty in for questioning.
Back at Kayenta Police Station, a new FBI agent, Sylvie Washington, is snooping around.
She has come to the reservation to button up some cases, which really means looking into Viness disappearance.
It only takes a couple of days for her to finesse a dinner invitation from Joes wife, Emma.
Im interested in seeing how Emmas character develops this season.
Emmas grief was the basis of her relationship with the young Sally and her baby.
By seasons end, though, Emma changed her mind.
When and why did she change her mind?
He takes Bern down for a closer look at the van, and she notices the plates were changed.
In New Mexico, Bern has few allies; two, to be exact.
Bern asks him about the Spenser oil tanks that drive through the borders weight station at night.
As if, for a woman with a suspicion!
Meanwhile, back on the reservation, Chee presses Shorty on Georges whereabouts.
Hes the only one who knows who killed Ernesto, because he was the only one there.
Finally relenting, Shorty takes Chee and Joe to the cabin where George is supposedly hiding out.
Its an appropriately dark, very windy night.
The horses immediately start freaking once theyre tied to the fence.
Shorty goes in the cabin first, while Chee watches the back door and Joe waits outside.
After he hears a scuffle, Joe follows in to find Shorty on the ground with a bloody head.
Nearly catatonic, all he can say to Chee is thatits real.
