Maya, you and I, we're family.

(g*n CLICKS)

(g*n SHOT)

Can we please talk?

(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)

- (GLASS CRACKS)

- BISCUITS: Damn it, Maya!

Grandma's gonna k*ll me.

I won't bring a w*r

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

k*lled 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.

Generations are

echoing

reaching out

to us, at a time when we need them

the most.

(SQUAWKS)

Your mother, Taloa, she was a healer.

I needed you.

But you chose yourself!

FISK: I have a proposition.

You want an empire? You'll have it.

All you have to do is come home with me.

MAN: (ON PHONE) I'm sorry, Mr. Fisk.

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?

Oh, hush. I'm here for business.

Oh? Well, what can I do you for?

Well, I know it's been a while but

(SIGHS)

I brought in a sewing machine

a few years back.

And I was just wondering, maybe

(CLATTERING)

This how you treat paying customers?

It's a wonder you got

any business at all.

(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(CHUCKLES) 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.

(CHUCKLES) I knew you'd come

back for it, I just had to wait.

(CHUCKLES)

- How much do I owe you?

Just promise me you'll come

(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)

Haven't seen you around before.

Are you here for the powwow?

Yes. You could say that.

(SINISTER MUSIC CONTINUES)

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?

- (CHUCKLES)

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.

CHULA: 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.

Yeah. So, uh, I'm gonna park up

down by there.

So we can enjoy your

You aren't alone.

All of us that came before

are a part of you.

Because we echo through you.

Echo.

(ENERGY HUMMING)

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.

I love you.

(PLANE ENGINE WHOOSHING)

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.
