AMC’s critically acclaimed thriller returns with deeper twists and emotional stakes.
In the haunting deserts of the Southwest, truth is elusive, and justice comes with a price. AMC’s Dark Winds is back with a pulse-pounding Episode 6, titled “Ábidoo'niidęę (What He Had Been Told)”, airing Sunday, April 13 on AMC and AMC+.
The Past Never Sleeps
Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (played by Zahn McClarnon) is at a crossroads. As he hunts down the killer responsible for a series of chilling events, he’s forced to confront ghosts from his own past. This episode promises to reveal the emotional weight Leaphorn carries — and the darkness that threatens to consume him.
Twists from the Borderline
Meanwhile, Bernadette Manuelito finds herself tangled in a dangerous human trafficking ring after joining the Border Patrol. The deeper she digs, the more treacherous her path becomes — raising the question: how far is she willing to go for justice?
A Mystery That Gets Bloodier
The disappearance of two boys in a quiet desert town sparks a mystery that gets more brutal by the hour. A bloodstained bicycle. An empty field. No witnesses. As Leaphorn and his partner Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) follow the threads, they’re drawn into a world where silence can be deadly — and the truth is buried deep beneath the sand.
Powerful New Faces Join the Fight
New to the scene are FBI Special Agent Sylvia Washington (Jenna Elfman) and Tom Spenser (Bruce Greenwood), whose presence may either break the case open — or send it spiraling into chaos.
A Masterclass in Indigenous Storytelling
Directed by Erica Tremblay and penned by Max Hurwitz and Billy Luther, the episode continues the show's proud tradition of authentic Indigenous storytelling. With producers like George R.R. Martin, Robert Redford, and Chris Eyre on board, Dark Winds delivers suspense with soul — and a deep respect for Native culture.
