Maya, you and I, we're family.
Can we please talk?
Damn it, Maya!
Grandma's gonna kill me.
I won't bring a war to the people I love.
I know now that I failed you.
The same as my father failed me.
He felt stronger when he beat my mother.
You...
...killed him?
Maya!
Chula can help you.
I don't see a booth for your art.
You know, Chula's store's been closed down for a while now.
generations are
echoing...
reaching out...
to us, at a time when we need them
the most.
Your mother, Taloa, she was a healer.
I needed you.
But you chose yourself!
I have a proposition.
You want an empire? You'll have it.
All you have to do is come home with me.
I'm sorry, Mr. Fisk.
- We tailed her, but she's gone.
It's hurt.
I found it.
It fell from a tree.
The bird didn't just fall, did it?
I didn't mean to hurt it.
I just wanted to see
if I could hit it.
I'm sorry.
You can't do this.
We don't harm living things.
In the old days,
the Choctaw called it
the Biskinik.
The Choctaw would tell the bird what to say,
and it would tap out messages on the trees,
warning when enemies approached.
We can fix it right?

You're not closed. You're napping, you old billy goat.
- Hurry on out here, I have to get to work. -Chula.
As radiant as the sun shining out of my...
Oh, hush. I'm here for business.
Oh? Well, what can I do you for?
Well, I know it's been a while but...
I brought in a sewing machine a few years back.
And I was just wondering, maybe...
This how you treat paying customers?
It's a wonder you got any business at all.
You still have it.
Yeah, I didn't put it up for sale.
Why?
Well, when you brought it in, I cleaned it and oiled it.
Put, uh... Put a nice blanket on it.
I knew you'd come back for it, I just had to wait.
- How much do I owe you? - Nothing.
Just promise me you'll come back once in a while.
Fine.
We have a deal.
I will see you later.
- Skully. - Ah, I'll get the door.
-Whoa. -Excuse me.
It's okay.
Please, let me help.
Oh. Thank you.
Haven't seen you around before. Are you here for the powwow?
Yes. You could say that.
It's a good thing you got here early.
I didn't realize there'd be so many people.
Oh, there always are.
People come from all over for our Choctaw Nation Powwows.
Is that right?
Your necklace...
It's American Sign Language.
- It says, "I love you." - Oh!
- You sign? - I try, for my niece.
Oh. I learned for my daughter.
She's passed on now.
Yes, I've lost someone who I loved.
It's the kind of pain you never quite get over.
Oh.
- Yeah, thank you. - Yeah.
I keep it up now for my granddaughter.
- Really? - Yeah.
Well, tell me about her.
Her name's Maya.
She's come in from New York.
Hey. Hey.
Uh, sorry, guys, this here is vendor parking, actually.
Right over there is general parking with Roger Two Moons...
Yeah. So, uh, I'm gonna park up down by there.
So we can enjoy your Indigenous fair from afar.
Yeah, okay. So, if you're a vendor, though,
they should have given you a slip thingy to put up on your dash,
'cause otherwise, if not, then they... Hey.
Chula should be here by now, hey Billy Jack?
Mama?
You've really been hurting, huh?
You aren't alone.
All of us that came before
are a part of you.
Because we echo through you.
Echo.
Now it's time for the pain...
to go away.
I can't.
I don't know how.
I will help you.
Your ancestors will help you.
You come from a long line
of very special women.
All the way from Chafa herself.
They have carried the fire.
They were the protectors
of their people.
They fought for their family.
Now, it's your turn.
All I bring is danger.
I have to leave.
Don't run.
Stay.
Fight.
For us.
Remember your gifts.
Strategy.
Cunning.
Ferocity.
Love.
All of that
is infused in this...
Every seam on the suit shows
that you're part of us.
And we're part of you.
I love you.
Always.

Alright!
- Tamaha, are you ready to powwow?
Let's get this house a-rocking. Make some noise!
Alright, Ottertrail!
Time for the Grand Entry tonight! Yeah!
Let's do this.
We're in position with the weapons.
Keep your eyes out for Maya Lopez.
She's heavily armed and dangerous.
Out of respect and honor, please rise if you are able to,
to honor our singers, our dancers coming to the arena.
Sing it loud and sing it proud, boys.
Let's bring 'em in, boys.
Biscuits, any word from Maya?
No, but there's some creepy guy here
and he brought a whole bunch of na hullos in.
I don't know, man. They're up to no good. I know it.
Listen, Biscuits, it's about to get dangerous.
Do you have a gun or a weapon?
A weapon?
Oh. I got something even better.
Not today, na hullos. Not today.
I offered you everything.
How could you betray me like this?
Who betrayed who first?
Righto, boys. I'm in position.
Just waiting for the signal.
You brought this upon yourself!
They have nothing to do with this!
They're in my blood, in my heart.
I'm a part of them, and they're a part of me.
I'm their legacy...
...not yours.
Good, now I know how much it will hurt you
when I kill the rest of your family.
Just like I killed your father!
It's a go.
No.
Echo.
Trust me.
Na hullos!
Not today, na hullos! Not today! Whoo!
Wait, what?
- Put your hands together...
Fireworks show in the house tonight.
Hoka hey!
-
Don't listen anymore.
Let go of the pain. Let go of the anger.
You are my uncle.
Shut him out!
I keep this with me.
It's to remind myself of where I come from...
...and what I had to do to get there.
No, no, no!
I am not who you want me to be!
Give it to me, please.
No.
Please.
What did you just do?
What did you do?
Huh?
What did you do?
Will we ever see it again?
Of course.

I want a meeting with all the remaining heads.
We need to stabilize the situation before it spirals out of control.
...describe their ideal candidate.
It turns out most voters want somebody who is a fighter.
Which works against the career politicians.
There are legitimate problems in the city right now.
And the voters want somebody
who understands the pain they're going through,
who understands the frustration they're going through.
Exactly right. A bare-knuckle brawler would do well in this race.
An outsider, somebody who is not afraid to take on the establishment.
But wouldn't that candidate have emerged by now?
That's the question that remains for so many people,
"Is that candidate even out there?"
There's no doubt it is late in the process,
but there's still a window of opportunity.
That's what the poll is telling us. It could be anybody's race.
