Previously on "Dark Winds"...

I'm okay, Emma.

You've been out of sorts lately.

Where were you the night
that B.J. Vines disappeared?

I want you gone from this house.

JOE: Men like him are
never afraid of men like me.

In Diné, we were taught that
the monsters walk the earth.

[MAN YELLING]

And we all have a line that runs
down the middle of our hearts.

And that line separates
monsters from men.

I have crossed that line.
