Navajo

"Navajo" is the fourteenth (chronologically the twentieth) chapter of Beyond: Two Souls.
==Synopsis==
Jodie is escaping the CIA (sometime after the events of "Broken") and is now in the middle of the desert. She walks on the side of the road, hitchhiking with no success. A short time later, Aiden shows her the way to a small house near the road where she encounters a family of four (Jay, Cory, Paul, and Shimasani), who give her a roof over her head and somewhere to eat for the day.
==Plot==
Jodie is walking along a road in the Navajo region. She has the option to wave down the few vehicles that pass by, but they all ignore her. She complains to Aiden, who angers her enough for her to turn to her right, spotting a small farmhouse not far from her.
Jodie walks to the farmhouse and knocks; after some time a young man answers the door. Jodie pleads for shelter with dusk approaching. The man says she couldn't stay with them; she begs but is turned down. An older man walks up behind him, and begins speaking to him in Navajo. He then invites Jodie into the simple farmhouse. The older man invites her to dinner and introduces his family — himself as Paul; his sons, Jay (the young man at the door) and Cory (the younger son); and his mother, Shimasani. He explains that his mother hasn't spoken in years.
After a few awkward and silent moments of dinner, Paul strikes up a conversation, and asks Jodie what she was doing traveling in the desert so far from civilization. Jodie learns that they are  and is the only ranch left of a once large community. After some small talk about ranching, the dog starts to bark and the wind starts to whistle rather fiercely. The family suddenly stops eating, and Paul says it's time for bed. Jay leads Jodie to her room, and tells her to lock the door and not to come out.
In Jodie's room, she finds a line of ash below the window. After undressing and washing up, she goes to sleep. Waking up from a vivid dream, she uses Aiden to open the locked door. Paul tells her to go back to her room if she knocks on his door. If she doesn't listen and instead opens the front door, a specter will appear, startling her. Later, Jodie wakes up and, after drinking a cup of coffee with Paul, prepares to leave. Paul then offers work in exchange for room and board; Jodie readily accepts.
After a series of events, Jodie comes to learn of the entity Yé'iitsoh that has been indiscriminately killing any living being in the area. It was first summoned by Shimasani's ancestors as a way to drive off the white soldiers who had invaded their land. The plan backfired, as Yé'iitsoh developed an insatiable appetite for death and destruction — and so it continues to torment Paul's family to this day.
When she returns to the farmhouse, she finds the Yé'iitsoh attacking the house in broad daylight. Jay and Cory are found crouching over a wounded Paul, and eventually help him into the house. If Jodie follows, she will be able to heal Paul. This option becomes unavailable if Jodie exits the house before doing so.
With the help of Aiden, Shimasani, and the spirits of the ancestors, Jodie is able to send Yé'iitsoh back to where it came from via a rift. Unfortunately, Shimasani dies as a result. Paul (if saved), Jay, Cory, and Jodie pay their respects at her newly dug grave. If Paul is not saved, he will be buried alongside Shimasani. Before leaving the sacred area, Jodie enters a small cave and discovers several wall paintings about entities, including a human attached to an entity via an ethereal chord.
Back at the ranch, the men give Jodie a restored motorcycle to help her get on her way. If Paul survives, he will be the one who gives the motorcycle instead of his sons. Jodie hugs Cory and can choose to hug or kiss Jay. She thanks the family for their hospitality and rides off.
Should the ritual fail, Yé'iitsoh will escape, the funeral scene will not occur, and Jay will thank Jodie for her attempts to help.

==Trivia==
* The chapter depicts a burning village that is implied to be a traditional Diné () community although it is wildly inaccurate in that it displays a cluster of both and burning in the same place and time. The Diné's traditional homes were  (a low building made from -like material). Totem poles were exclusive to tribes on the northwestern coast of North America, whilst tipis were traditionally used among nomadic groups in the American Midwest.
* Jodie must have been in Navajo for a while, though she is still very pale.
* Since Jodie's hair has grown out from the buzzcut it was previously, some time must have passed between her escape in "Broken" and her arrival in the desert.
* At about 1 hour and 20 minutes in length, "Navajo" is possibly the biggest and longest chapter in the game. A horse is needed to traverse the area, as it would take about half an hour to get to the sheep on foot.
* This chapter takes place in Monument Valley, a desert region on the border of and . The can be seen on the mile marker at the beginning, while Jodie is walking along the road.
* The motorcycle given to Jodie can be found and fixed by the player inside the barn. If fixed, the dialogue at the end of the chapter will reflect how Jodie was the one to fix it, and be given as a reason why it is given to her.
* As Jodie drives into the distance, Shimasani appears in her wheelchair between Paul and Jay.
