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.
NITA: I don't see a booth for your art.
SHIKOBA: You know, Chula's store's been closed down for a while now.

Your mother, Taloa, she was a healer.

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?

I want a meeting with all the remaining heads.
We need to stabilize the situation before it spirals out of control.
REPORTER 1: (ON TV) ...describe their ideal candidate.
It turns out most voters want somebody who is a fighter.
REPORTER 2: 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.
REPORTER 1: Exactly right. A bare-knuckle brawler would do well in this race.
An outsider, somebody who is not afraid to take on the establishment.
REPORTER 2: 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?"
REPORTER 1: 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.
