NEW YORK, March 8 (UPI) -- Jessica Matten says the case at the center of Dark Winds Season 4 has psychological and emotional ramifications for her character, Bernadette Manuelito, a deputy in the Navajo Reservation Tribal Police.
Airing Sundays on AMC, the drama series takes place in the 1970s and finds Bern and her partners Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) and Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) trying to bring home Billie (Isabel DeRoy-Olson), a 16-year-old girl who ran away to Los Angeles from her Catholic boarding school on the reservation.
Also hot on Billie's trail is Irene (Franka Potente), the professional killer who murdered Billie's family and appears to be obsessed with Joe.
Bern, who graduated from the same boarding school Billie escaped, sees herself in the feisty Billie.
Bern is also looking for something meaningful to distract her from the memory of killing a man in self-defense at the end of Season 3.
