(SKULLY CLEARS THROAT)
Don't give me that look.
Well, halito to you too, Chula.
(SPEAKING CHOCTAW) How are you?
Well, you could do better than that.
Why don't we, uh,
go into my office?
(SPEAKING CHOCTAW) Do you want to eat?
I didn't come here to get leg-humped
by some old rez dog like you.
Ah, you used to melt like butter
when I talked Indian to you.
That was a long time ago.
Doesn't have to be like that now.
Maya's back.
Yeah, I thought that might
have something to do with it.
Come on in.
Go sit over there.
But that old chair hurts
my back, you know?
(GROANS SOFTLY) What's this?
CHULA: Biscuits near totaled my truck
doing who knows what.
He's covering for Maya.
She's bringing trouble with her.
And now Biscuits is caught up in it.
She's too much like her father.
You don't know that.
You don't even know her.
And you do?
You haven't seen her any more
than I have in the last 20 years.
(SCOFFS) Oh really?
What's she up to, then?
(CLEARS THROAT) Not for me to say.
Why don't you ask her?
Not likely.
- (CLICKS)
- (MUSIC STOPS)
You know, you two are exactly alike.
We are not alike.
Everything I've done has
been to protect my family,
however much it hurt.
You lost your daughter.
Why don't you just swallow your pride
before you lose your granddaughter, too?
I can't talk to her now.
I got nothing to say.
(SIGHS)
Well, maybe you shouldn't talk to her.
Maybe you should just listen for once.

ZANE: (OVER PHONE)
Don't disappoint me, Vickie.
Your intel won't be worth
jack shit if she's gone.
Zane, I promise you, man. Maya's here.
We're still a few hours out.
Tonight, have her ready.
Wait for my call.

(SCOFFS)
- VICKIE: One of youse gotta babysit her.
- GRACE: Or you could.
No. I gotta be out front
when he gets here.
I'm the man on the inside.
All you gotta do is sit outside that
door. What are you, scared?
BRIGITTE: I will babysit her
since you two are too chickenshit.
GRACE: Fine. Have fun.

Uncle Henry?
- Hey.
- Hey. I tried the front.
Yeah. Sorry.
Um, not a good time. Pretty busy.
I won't take very long. I
I just have some questions I wanna ask.
- Uh, privately.
- How about you call me tomorrow?
The rink's being audited by the IRS,
and I'm just swimming in paperwork.
LEAVE NOW.
Yikes, the IRS?
Is there anything I can do?
GO.
No no no. I'm good.
Probably shouldn't have deducted
all that mileage on all
those pairs of skates.
(BONNIE CHUCKLES)
I'll, uh I'll leave you to it.
Appreciate it. Night, Bonnie.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
What the hell was that? Huh? Did
you know she was coming around?
- Uh-uh.
- Are more people coming around here? Go.

You okay?
I will be.
BRIGITTE: I'm doin' it.
I'm doin' it. Whoa.
Looks like they're in no hurry.
What are they waiting for?
Stop.
Stop looking for a way out of here?
You know
what I mean.
Look.
I'm just here for work stuff.
No sense disrupting your life
if I'm not going to be here long.
Bullshit.
You can't even
look me in the eye.
I waited for you.
Every night
for years.
And you still couldn't be bothered
to send one message.
We drifted apart.
It happens.
We didn't drift.
All those emails, texts.
Nothing ever came back.
You didn't text
me back after
your dad died.
I would have been there.
Come on, Vickie. Let me
smooth things out with Maya.
Tell her it was a misunderstanding.
That way, if you leave now,
you got nothing to worry about.
Only person with anything
to worry about is her.
What did you do?
No. Maya brought this on herself,
coming home.
Alls I did was accelerate the process.
You called someone?
Yeah, well, here's the thing, Henry.
I ain't taking orders no more.
Not from you.
There's still a chance
for you to get out of this alive.
You really think he's gonna pay you
and then just let you walk out of here?
If I was you, Henry,
I would have turned her in myself,
collect that bounty.
You left it up for grabs
and I'm grabbing.
GRACE: Vickie!
Come on, Vickie.
I swear I heard something.
They might be loose.
VICKIE: Alright. Quickly, though.
He's almost here.
(SOUNDS AND MUSIC SLOWLY FADE)
(SINGLE HEART BEATING)
(SOUND RETURNS)
GRACE: Her zip ties.
Told you I heard something.
VICKIE: Whoa, whoa whoa whoa.
Don't shoot her.
If she's dead when they get here,
we ain't getting paid.
Hey. Guns down.
I can talk to her.
Please.
Gun down, Grace!
Come on.
GRACE: Tell your gimpy friend
to put her zip ties back on.
Someone is coming
to pay them for you.
VICKIE: Hey, hey!
BRIGITTE: Do not assume incompetence
What do we do?
VICKIE: Wh-What is she saying to her?
I'm going to punch you.
VICKIE: They weren't supposed
to be fighting each other.
- GRACE: Hurry up, go.
- VICKIE: No, we need her alive.
Let's get out of here. Come on.
(GASPING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY) I think we
gotta go back in and hog-tie her.
No, it's not worth the trouble.
- (PHONE VIBRATES)
- BRIDGETTE: The door's locked anyway.
They're here.
Okay
- Throw her back in there, too?
- No. She's coming with us.
Come on.
- Alright. Have fun.
- Let's go. I got her. I got her.
(PANTING)
(ROUSING MUSIC PLAYING)
You're the guy, then?
Yeah, I'm the guy. Vickie.
Vickie? Nice to see your face
at last, I guess.
We come a very long way.
So, for your sake,
I hope the information
you've been texting is legit.
See, uh
I don't like being played with, Vickie.
Guaranteed, it's the real deal.
Assuming you brought that money.
Oh. No. We got protocols, right?
I keeps the money safe
while I assesses the situation.
You don't think I'd walk in
with the money, do you?
'Course not.
You work here?
VICKIE: Yeah.
Wow. It's lush.
You are a lucky bastard.
I tell you what, boys, when the
gig's done, Ring Pops on me.
You can hook us up, right, brah?
Fan out, boys. She's here somewhere.
See, I was thinking, you
show me that money first
and make sure it's all there.
- Like, I need to know that you have it.

Today, hostage negotiations.
I'll jump right in.
You need to keep yourself alert
and aware of your surroundings
and any and all potential
threats at all times.
And remember, do not assume incompetence
when dealing with an unknown kidnapper.
Instead, take precautions on a number
of levels to protect yourself

and any bystanders from a
multitude of deadly possibilities.

Okay, so, here's what I'm thinking.
Um, so, you grab the money, and then
Vickie. What the hell, man?
We're supposed to be makin' a deal,
not giving them the grand tour.
Can you let me handle this, Grace?
Looks like you're lettin'
this guy handle it.
What's up, kitty cat?
Ah, looky, looky. Is that
Henry Black Crow Lopez?
Surprised to see me?
Look at you all tied up.
Let me talk. It'll be okay.
How'd you get jammed up like this?
You got something to spill? Huh?
Where's that niece of yours, huh?
Maya Lopez. Lopez who
blew up the armory.
We're actually not at liberty to say
until we get our money.
(GROWLS)
I'm so tired of all this yappin'.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)
- I'm gonna go check on somethin'.
- Yeah.
Matter of fact, she probably
needs a hand with that,
so I'm gonna head out,
and then I'll be right
ZANE: Is something wrong?
No. What?
We still got a deal.
So how about let's all go out
and you show me that money?
You catch that, brothers?
What? Look, there's no problem.
Vickie wants to go out.
So, take him out.
No. Oh no, no, no. No.
(GUN FIRES)
- (GROANS)
- ZANE: Oh!
Thanks again, Vickie, for the hot tip.
Would have been nice if
she were, you know, here.
(DOOR CLOSES)
The sister's headed for the parking lot.
Let her go.
I got who I wants here.
You's the one who's gonna give me
the answers to my question.
