- But eventually you were?
- (RAYMOND SIGHS)
- (SNIFFLES)
- Answer the fucking question.
It's my fault.
She found some notes, just,
just scribbles, really,
and she started to piece
together what we were doing.
And what were you doing?
We were digging for the DNA
of a microorganism
contained in the permafrost
- that, that could potentially
- Save the world.
We know, everybody knows,
except it doesn't work.
No, it did.
See, that's what nobody understands.
We cracked it. We could actually do it.
What the fuck does that
have to do with Annie?
Well, we could do it because
the pollution from the mine
helped soften the permafrost.
Eh, eh, we could extract the DNA
with much less damage and faster
by, by multiple of hundreds, thousands.
I see, so you were falsifying
the toxicity numbers
- for Silver Sky Mine.
- No.
No, we were pushing the mine
to produce more pollutants.
The more waste in the water,
the more waste in the ground,
the better the permafrost
was for our work.
I know, but it could've
changed the world.
It still could.
And that was worth killing Annie?
No.
No.
LIZ: Then what happened to her?
I, uh
God, I didn't even know
she was here. She just
She must've snuck in.
Yeah, I, I, I think she was just
trying to find a paper trail
to prove that the mine
were paying us, but,
but she discovered the truth.
She destroyed our work,
all those years, all
all that potential to do so much good,
she just, she just obliterated it.

But you don't understand.
(HEAVY BREATHING) The project
could've saved so many lives.
They stabbed her 32 times.
It took two years to
build a new robotic arm
and hit a vein down there.
If we could finish the work,
then she wouldn't have died for nothing.
They cut out her tongue.
What?
That wasn't us.
That wasn't us.
We, we, we, we called the mine for help.
They, they needed us to keep
covering up their numbers.
They sent a cop to move the body.
He must've cut out the tongue
to-to-to-to send a warning or something.

Tell me again that you loved her.
I did.

Stories are stories.

- AGENT 1: Alright.
Let's start with the disappearance
of Officer Henry D. Prior
on December 31st of last year.
That's an ongoing investigation.
So the body of a local
vagrant, Otis Heiss,
was found in the trunk
of Hank Prior's car.
Ballistics showed that the bullet
had been fired from Hank's gun.
AGENT 2: But you were the
one who checked Mr. Heiss
out of The Lighthouse
Rehabilitation Center
- on the day of his death.
- Yep. That's correct.
Mr. Heiss had some information
about the whereabouts of Raymond Clark.
Um, surveillance footage from
The Lighthouse showed that Hank,
Officer Prior, was watching my car.
So, um
it's possible that he followed us,
and he approached Mr.
Heiss after we separated.
My best guess is it
was a, a deal gone bad.
Mr. Heiss got shot and Hank,
Officer Prior, when he
went to dispose of the body,
suffered some accident in the blizzard.
You know, come summer, we'll find him.
We always do
unless we don't.
Young Officer Prior
Pete was Hank's son.
He was out lookin' for us
that night in the storm.
I'm sure you read about
that in the report.
Don't you find it odd that Clark died
in the exact same
manner as the Tsalal men?
Yes.
Incredibly odd.
But
some questions just don't have answers.
What about Trooper Navarro?
What happened to her?
Well, some people come to
Alaska to escape, ya know?
Get away from something.

My name is Raymond Clark.
I worked at the Tsalal Research Station
in Ennis, Alaska, for 15 years.
This is the truth.
I am profoundly sorry for
the part I played in this.
Pollution levels in the
region are 11 times higher
than those currently acceptable
by the Vienna Convention and the UNFCCC.
The pollution knowingly
created by Silver Sky
has caused cancer,
stillbirths, birth defects,
and irreparable genetic damage
to both the human and
animal population
AGENT 2: Have you seen the Clark video?
LIZ: Everybody's seen the Clark video.
AGENT 1: Do you have any
idea who leaked that video?
No No idea.
Does it matter?
How do you plan on dealing
with political unrest in Ennis?
Well political unrest is not my job.
Eh, this town was here
long before the mine,
long before the APF.
Long before Alaska
was even named Alaska.
I'm just gonna show up,
do my job every day like I always do.
What else is there?
Anything else?
So, you have no theories about
what happened to Trooper Navarro?
