- I thought you quit.
Yesterday, Trevor said to me, ''Aunt Grace smokes.
What's the big deal?'' You want your nephew to start smoking? - WhoaI Here we go.
- Sister smackdown! So what's with the delegation? Is Mom okay? - I came for the free beer Paige promised me.
- Mom's fine.
- You won't call us back.
We had to come to you.
- You want to do this? This family needs time together.
We never see each other except at Christmas.
- I thought that was on purpose.
- Me too.
- You're not helping.
Remember those great family vacations we used to take? All of us piled up in the car? Yeah.
Seven kids in the back of a station wagon bloodied, bruised and grounded by the time we got to Six Flags.
You know, you could just make anything sound horrible, you know that? I am proposing a cruise, Grace.
Someplace exotic like Mexico or the Caribbean.
The whole family.

Yeah, come on.
I wanna hear about the angel.

[ Blusters .]
Buffalo Bill came across a lone horse wandering this morning on his early morning ride.
- His dog found the body.
- Who the hell would do this to someone? - Henry determine the sex? - He says he can't out here but the prosthetic leg should have an I.
D.
number we can trace.
I mean who the hell would do this to someone? Jesus.
Get out of here, man.
What, Bobby? It's an owl feather.
- Think it was placed out here? - Well, it smacks of a Native American burial custom.
I'm not sure which custom and from which tribe.
- You losing your Indian mojo? - Sometimes my Mexican half crowds it out.
Henry said I smell nice.
How come you never notice things like that? As soon as I get the gasoline and the barbecued human flesh smell out of my nostrils - I'll be sure to sniff you up.
- Gasoline, huh? Freshly dug grave- Maybe 2 4 hours.
The body was torched here.
You tell if they were dead or alive before they were set on fire? Won't be able to know until Henry gets a good look at the body.
But there are no tire tracks.
Lots of hoofprints and horse shit though.
[ Grace.]
Hoofprints stop here.
- He was telling us this is where it happened.
- The victim? - The horse.
- [ Nickers .]
[ Police Radio, Indistinct .]
- He's either a dressage horse or he's kid broke.
- Uh-huh.
- [ Whinnying .]
- He ain't kid broke.
- Hey, now.
Easy.
It's okay.
- [ Blustering .]
It's okay.
- Looks like a barn baby.
- Eric, borrow your water? Give me your hat.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Ah, he's well kept.
If he doesn't belong to the victim somebody's gotta be looking for him.
I'll call the sheriff, see if anybody's missing a horse.
Gotta be the victim's.
All these people, most horses would make a break for it.
[ Whinnies .]
Give me a lift.
Remember when we rode these trails a couple of times? - Any brand on the horse? - No.
Sun Ride Stables is a couple of miles up the road.
Home of your favorite horse.
What's his name? Romeo.
Stallion from hell.
-You showed him who's boss.
-An ugly thing to do to somebody in such a pretty place.
Rhetta's right.
No tire tracks.
Maybe we got a killer on horseback.
You gonna stay up there? Oklahoma, man.
It's so beautiful.
- So ourJohn Doe was shot before he was burned? - Twice.
One in the upper torso, one in the forehead.
He also had a broken rib.
- You guys want to grab some lunch? - Yeah, man.
I'm starving.
- What kind of gun? - Two slugs, both .
44s both at close range.
- Maybe Grace would want to join us.
- Maybe.
This was serious overkill.
Why burn the body? I'm running the serial number on the prosthetic leg.
- And I found something else interesting.
- What? Carved numbers on the underside of it.
- That could be ''Soc.
'' - I've heard of wounded vets coming back from Iraq - doing something like this.
- My brother's buddy did it.
- It's an easy I.
D.
in case something happens.
- Our victim could be military.
Grace get anything from the stables? She's still checking them out.
Horse wasn't a rental.
It belonged to somebody.
Shall we call Grace, see if she's hungry? [ Laughter.]
Payback's a bitch.
- What do we have on John Doe? - Checking out the numbers Henry found we got calls into Fort Sill and Tinker.
I called the sheriff, ranches in the area.
No missing horses.
What about the Native American connection? Bobby ''Google Horse'' is checking it out.
The Internet's full of Indian burial customs.
Not many survived through the years.
Ones I know about send the spirit peacefully to the afterlife.
- What makes you think we have one? - The owl feather.
Not a good omen to us Indians.
Grace said she's got someone who might shed some light on all that.
- [ Knocking .]
- [ Man .]
We don't want nothing you're sellingI - [ Gun Cocks .]
- He's got a gun.
Who's ''we,'' Geepaw? He's harmless.
Champuli, what are you still doing out there? Get in here! If we're gonna make Houston by nightfall, we gotta leave right now! - Champuli.
- Hey, Geepaw, we're not going to Houston anymore? Houston? Who said anything about Houston? Come in.
Come in.
Her, not you.
[ Laughs .]
Come in.
Come in.
Come in.
[ Horse Blusters .]
You can stop cleaning.
- I'm not here to bust you.
- In that case,you want a smoke? Pass.
Last time I smoked what you offered, I was high for a week.
Nothing but the best for my Champuli.
[ Bird Fluttering .]
Sorry about the gun.
I thought you were Paige.
- You were gonna shoot Paige? - Just scare her a little.
She keeps bugging me about the sweat lodge.
I told her I stopped.
- Have you? - Sure, yesterday.
You know that's not good for you anymore.
Lots of things aren't good for me.
Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop doing them.
Since when did you start sounding like your sister? - That's not even a little funny.
- [ Laughs .]
Got this case.
Body was shot, burned, then buried facedown in a shallow grave.
Owl feather found on top.
It came up it might be an Indian burial ritual.
Doesn't ring any bells, but owl feather, that isn't good.
Maybe if you got a look at the crime scene.
[ Ham .]
Tinker's got a kid A WOL from Edmond could be our guy.
- You check Missing Persons? - Easiest elimination process ever.
Any of'em missing a leg? No.
Had one missing an ear though.
I'm not sure this is a good idea.
He's a quarter more Indian than Bobby.
And that's a quarter more than we had earlier.
Is this your grandpa taught you how to ride? Had me on a horse when I was three days old.
Guess we crossed a stream.
I got wet.
When my mom found out, she threw a hammer at him, knocked him out.
- Champuli.
- What's the ''Champuli''? - Someone wanted to murder this person's soul.
- How do you know that? Stillness.
Even with all this activity, this place is very still.
A lot of anger here.
Think the person we're looking for is Native American? Could be.
Definitely this poor soul.
He's restless, mad.
Give me a minute.
Victim's Native American.
Killer might be too.
Grace.
Champuli? When did you get here? - Have a chance to look at the brochures? - Come on in.
- Doesn't it look like fun? - Coffee? - Decaf? - Regular.
Half a cup.
I told Mom you were coming.
Shit.
Paige- Told the kids too.
Marshall and Hannah literally did backflips.
Why do you always do shit like this? - Because either we're all going or we're not doing it.
- Who says? Who appointed you ruler of the cruise? If I'm organizing it, I get to set the rules.
Yeah.
Breakfast at 7:00, nap at 1 0:00, shuffleboard at noon.
Shit, Paige.
Sign me up.
Sounds like a blast.
Then you tell Mom you're not going- Trevor, Hannah, Marshall and Madison too.
Clay- What's Clay gonna say? - Milk? - Cream.
- Milk? - Tiny bit.
We need to talk about Geepaw.
I saw him yesterday.
- He's not doing too good.
- I know.
-You know? Why didn't you tell me? -I have.
I left you 50 messages.
- [ Sighs .]
Man.
- I thought that was your way of ignoring me -but you don't even listen to them? -Half the time you're calling to tell me where I can get gas three cents cheaper, some stupid crap.
I told you last week.
I left you two stupid-crap messages after I took him to the doctor.
- What'd he say? - If you'd listened, you'd have known what he said.
Geepaw is in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
[ Sighs .]
Shit.
- We have to start thinking about putting him in a home.
- Shit, no.
I'm worried he's gonna hurt himself.
I was there last week.
It was freezing.
He was sitting outside in his underwear.
- He'll die in a home.
- We can't watch him 2 4/7.
I've certainly tried my best.
Maybe we can take shifts.
I'm talking about me too.
Fine.
He's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow at noon.
See that you get him there.
[ Sighs .]
Oh! We got an I.
D.
on thatJohn Doe.
Name's Ryan Whitehorse.
Twenty-four.
Army vet.
Just got back from Walter Reed four days ago.
Ryan Whitehorse? - Why? You know this kid? - I used to work with this youth group.
Ryan was one of the kids I got pretty close to.
Shit, man.
I'm sorry.
I knew he was injured, lost his leg.
I didn't know he was home.
- When was the last time you saw him? - Couple of years ago.
He was home on leave- he and Chaz Benbrook, another kid I worked with.
- They were in the same unit over in Iraq.
- They still buddies? Chaz was killed by a roadside bomb about a year ago.
- Shit, man.
- [ Sighs .]
You wanna make the notification? Ryan's parents died in a car wreck when he was eight.
- Foster homes after that mostly.
- So the kid's got no family? He stayed with Chaz off and on.
I'll let his parents know.
- What about enemies? - Ryan was a smart-ass.
Biggest smile you've ever seen.
He'd get in a few scuffles.
Juvie stuff mostly.
Nothing big.
Fort Sill didn't have a forwarding address, only a P.
O.
box.
I know he got engaged right before he went to Baghdad- High school sweetheart.
Who else would he have looked up when he got home? What do you think, Bobby? Something in the water? Payback? Or just all of us got bad luck? You're doing good, Cam.
Don't let Ryan's death take you back.
Shit happens, right? [ Both .]
It's how you clean it up that counts.
[ Both Laughing .]
- You see Ryan when he came home? - Three days ago.
- He just showed up.
Big smile on his face.
- Yeah.
- Totally surprised us.
- You hang out? All night long, man.
Hearing what a hero he was in Iraq.
Shut up, Manny.
We made the rounds at Bricktown, reminiscing and shit.
Getting totally wasted.
- He have a beef with anybody? - No, man.
He was happy as shit to be home.
Game.
Pay up.
- Where'd he go after he left you? - Most likely Lily's.
We're so sorry, Lily.
- When did you last see Ryan? - Sunday.
- Three days ago? How come? - We broke up.
The day after he comes home you break up with him? Why? He wanted to see his buddies and his horse more than me.
- Who was his buddies? - Cam and Manny, for sure.
My man comes back after being gone two years, he wouldn't be able to come up for air.
- What's going on? - O.
C.
P.
D.
Who are you? He's my brother.
Ames- - Will you tell me what's going on? - Ryan's dead.
- What? - Somebody killed him, Ames.
- We're done here.
- Oh, down, down, down.
Give me your hand.
Let's try this again.
Come on.
On your feet.
Yeah.
We never got it straight whether they were engaged or not.
- Lily was always hiding it.
- That's because her brother hated Ryan.
What was his problem with Ryan? He heard he hooked up with some nurse from Bartlesville over in Iraq.
Ryan was mouthing off about sponge baths and shit.
Sounds like you had a problem with someone you called a buddy.
I just think the wrong dude came back.
Chaz died on enemy soil.
He didn't deserve that.
- Lily's full of shit.
- Yeah, the brother's hiding something too.
Not hiding his saddle.
I'll check his priors.
Get C.
S.
U.
to help toss Ryan's motel room.
- What do you got? - [ Man .]
Lousy pair-I didn't even get a pair here.
Two pairs.
Look at 'em and weep.
Oh, come on, man.
You always get that.
Hey, should they be eating and drinking and smoking this stuff? - Probably not.
- Mm-hmm.
All right, boys.
Deal us in.
[ Overlapping Chatter.]
Five card draw.
Nickel ante.
Mm-hmm.
Drop this over here.
Oh! Pinch me again, I'll hide your meds.
[ Laughter.]
- [ Makes Squawking Noise .]
- So Darko was telling us that you found a burnt-up corpse over at the Arcadia Equestrian Trail.
- Buried face down with an owl's feather.
- Owl's feather's no good.
Lakota tribe used to bury 'em facedown so that their spirit would not return.
- Was he buried with any personal belongings? -Just an owl's feather.
[ Groans .]
Then your dead young man got himself cursed to hell.
Twenty-one.
Blackjack.
- You win, Geepaw.
- [ Chuckles .]
[ Man .]
Let's have one of them cupcakes.
Oh, they look great.
Horse-drawn carriage.
You still wear Meemaw's ring on your right hand.
I love to wear it when I remember why I'm wearing it.
- Don't joke.
- Who's joking? I'm not stupid.
I know what's happening to me.
It don't mean I can't do what I love to do.
Your sister doesn't understand that.
The sweat lodge, the pipe, riding.
I remember when you took me to my first sweat lodge.
You almost gave the boys a heart attack when you crawled in there naked.
It was dark, but they could see you.
It burned the hell out of my ass.
I forgot my towel.
You always forgot your towel.
Yeah.
You never got mad at me.
Never yelled.
- Not once.
- You're a free soul.
And a free soul's gonna do what they do.
- Horse rider.
- Hmm.
- Dream horse.
- You remember.
Horse took me riding almost every night in my dreams.
When I couldn't ride with you, I'd dream.
It kept a lot of nightmares away.
Sometimes I'd go outside in the backyard count the stars all by myself.
Paige would find me, go tell on me.
- Daddy would- - [ Snoring .]
[ Snoring .]
Sometimes family ain't so bad, huh? Pretty soon he's not gonna remember who I am.
- I hate that disease.
- Your boss seems to love it.
Giving it to so many people these days.
Hear he's going even younger.
People get it in their 50s.
Don't tell me, tell God.
Ask him.
Yell at him.
He can take it.
Aw, maybe it's not so bad.
I get it, I'll forget you.
Where do you live, Earl? Is it up there in the stars somewhere? Oh, it's way beyond the stars.
A little cosmic subdivision called ''Angelville.
'' You guys don't even know it's there.
You think the moon's a big deal, Mars.
You know, there's people up there who say they like you.
Who? Well, you got some down here too.
I know there's bad blood but your family just wants to love you, Grace and this wall you've built up, they don't understand.
You need to talk to 'em.
- Boat might be just the place to do it.
- [ Snoring .]
[ Snores .]
[ Laughs .]
- [ Snoring .]
- [ Chuckling .]
Yeah! - Yeah! - Whoa! [ Laughs .]
Whoa! [ Laughs .]
Oh, man.
That felt good.
It's been awhile.
- It was snowing.
- Yeah, it was colder than hell.
That's because we were buck naked.
My mom's foreman thought we were crazy.
I had to pay him a hundred bucks to keep his mouth shut.
Think what you'd have had to pay if he'd caught us in the barn.
[ Groans, Laughs .]
So which tree had the gasoline residue? According to Rhetta's diagram, that one.
Mule fat's been eaten down.
Horse must've grazed for quite awhile.
If the killer was waiting, he knew Ryan was going riding.
Gunshot wounds were straight on, so either both were on horseback or both on the ground.
Two gunshots.
Horse could've reared up.
Ryan got the broken rib when he fell off.
So who knew Ryan was going horseback riding? - Where you been? - Doing my job.
What have you been doing? Tossed Ryan's motel room.
I found a backpack with a few of his belongings, his dog tags.
No I.
D.
or wallet though.
We found out Lily's brother Ames keeps his horse out at Sun Ride Stables a few miles from where Ryan was murdered.
Questioned Lily about it.
She got a little twitchy but didn't offer up anything new.
Except for one thing- She lied about the breakup.
Ryan dumped her, not the other way around.
- Does Lily Blackbird and her brother have an alibi? - Each other.
- Which means, you know, no.
- Ames has a record for assault.
- What about this kid Manny? Does he have an alibi? - Manny's harmless.
It still doesn't erase the fact that he had a problem with Ryan.
Manny looked up to Chaz.
Chaz looked up to Ryan.
Childhood jealousies.
That's all.
I'm gonna talk to Chaz's dad.
I'll ask him.
- Kid's back four days.
- Like God playing some kind of sick joke.
Leg wasn't enough.
He made it home to this.
Grace! You need to go to the parking lot! Everything's okay.
Champuli! Came to pick you up for my doctor's appointment.
You've been riding her hard, huh? - She looks like she could use a rest.
- How about you, Geepaw? - Yeah.
I'm a little tired.
- Come on down.
- What are all these people doing here? - Let's go.
You had one thing to do and you couldn't do that! He rode a horse, Paige, through downtown.
You're the one encouraging him.
Telling him he's vital to a case.
- And you believed him? - So you didn't take him to a crime scene? - One.
- That is not what he needs right now.
What he needs is for us to take away his horse.
- Grace,you got a call.
- Take a message.
I'll call 'em back.
Where's Mom in all this? Geepaw starts screaming if Mom goes near him.
Some hard decisions need to be made.
If you're incapable, get out of the way.
You do remember I'm older and can kick your ass, right? - Is one biting the other? - No.
[ Chuckles .]
When they were kids when the yelling stopped, it would be followed by a scream which meant Paige bit Grace and Grace would be running after Paige with some kind of power tool.
- Scary but not impossible.
- [ Laughs .]
You'd think they hate each other but they're really two halves of the same person each one trying to be a little more like the other.
- You really think so? - No.
[ Rhetta .]
Uh-oh.
Johnny's just arrived.
[ Geepaw .]
Shit's gonna hit the fan now.
- You called Johnny.
- Yeah, she called me.
- So where's Geepaw? - In the courtyard.
I can't believe you called Johnny.
- He calms down.
- Only 'cause he thinks he's going to hell if he doesn't.
- What happened? - This is where I work.
- I do not want to do this here.
- Why didn't you pick him up for his appointment? - She forgot.
- I did not.
- Yes, you did! - Did you? - I was getting ready to leave.
You forgot.
Admit it.
You should've left at 1 1 :00.
His appointment was at noon.
And I should've gone right on Main and left on 63rd, and gone exactly 3 5 miles an hour.
- What else, Paige? - Both of you, calm down.
This is why he needs to be in a home.
I know you love Geepaw.
But I love him enough to be the bad guy.
We don't have a choice.
I think they're coming out.
Good news.
Looks like no blood was shed.
[ Urinating .]
Chaz would've followed Ryan off a cliff.
Didn't matter.
- Or off the roof of a barn.
- I thought they were dead for sure.
- Should've been.
- [ Sighs .]
Chaz didn't even care about horses till Ryan got one.
Didn't care about the army either.
Ryan may have been the leader, but Chaz had a good influence on him.
He taught him a lot.
So did you.
[ Sighs .]
I don't know why I didn't let him move in.
Ryan was a rough kid.
He had a temper.
But the time he spent with you, the family dinners he was a part of, that meant a lot to Ryan.
We're having a service for him on Saturday.
Maybe you want to say a few words? Sure.
- All these kids owe you, Bobby.
- I'm worried about Manny.
He's having a tough time.
I gave him one of Chaz's dog tags.
He lost it.
Cried like a baby.
- You know he blames Ryan.
- I know.
But my son died at war, in service to his country.
Chaz ever say anything about Ryan? - Something like, ''The wrong guy died in Iraq''? - He's a kid.
He lost his best friend.
Of course he said stupid things.
- Did you see Ryan when he came back? - I didn't even know he was home.
We get letters from him once in awhile but I hadn't talked to him since Chaz's funeral.
I spoke to the unit commander.
He said they were good soldiers.
They were just kids.
You okay? You know, some of those places are really nice.
He can make new friends, be safe.
- Promise me we'll go to the same old age home.
- We'll get matching walkers.
Hell, no, motorized scooters so we can rip around the place.
You just gotta appreciate the time you have.
Keep him interested in stuff.
He wants to go riding later.
Paige, of course, shot that down.
He turned, looked at me.
It killed me, man.
I'm gonna go kicking and screaming, aren't you? I mean, what the hell? It's his life.
He made it downtown okay.
He shouldn't be on a horse, Grace.
Can you match a hoofprint to a specific horse? Only if the Who is playing in the background.
- Is that a no? - That's a no.
Ryan flew into Will Rogers on American Airlines, Flight 2 7 on Saturday.
- Arrived at 3.
:47 p.
m.
- Lily Blackbird picks him up.
They check into Room 9A at the Super 8 Motel on Meridian at 5:1 0.
Arrives atJohn's stables around 6.
:00.
No one sees him take his horse out but Lily said he liked riding at sunset.
- So Lily sees him Sunday afternoon.
- Breaks it off with him.
All right, Manny and Cam are with him Sunday night.
No one sees him Monday.
- What about Tuesday? - We checked with the nurse in Bartlesville.
He called her Tuesday morning at 7:39.
Wanted to see her that night.
She couldn't make it.
- He called her back at 4:00.
- Yeah.
He said he was going riding- Sounded happy.
He was hoping it would rain.
He loved riding in the rain.
- Any other friends, family? - The motel manager said he hung around the pool.
Said he, uh, sat in the chair, a big smile on his face,just happy to be here.
What does Grace have going with Ames Blackbird? She's going at him again.
Said Rhetta gave her an idea.
- You letting go of Ames? - Yeah, Lily too.
The matching hoofprint bullshit didn't faze 'em at all.
What's going on with Manny? Bobby and Ham are going back to him, but Bobby's pretty sure the kid doesn't have it in him.
Pretty sure ain't good enough.
We gotta be missing something.
- I'm outta here.
It's 4.
:30.
- Night,Jay.
- How's your grandpa? - You saw him.
Why does he call you ''Champuli''? It means ''Sweet One'' in Choctaw.
You busy right now? - You okay, Geepaw? - Yeehaw, Champuli! Yeehaw, Geepaw! Let him go.
[ Laughing .]
- [ Neighing .]
- Whoa! This is 1 2-1 2-1 8.
Elderly man fell off a horse.
I'll spend the night with him.
I'm gonna stay.
It's okay.
This is my fault.
I'm really tired.
Tomorrow we'll figure out what we're gonna do.
Take care of him, okay? [ Growling .]
So which is it? The job or the woman? Both.
Well, a job can tire a man out, but it takes a woman to twist a man up- - And, son,you're twisted.
- A buddy of mine likes her too.
- That's tough.
- And he's married.
Even tougher.
I saw her on a horse today.
That's what did it, that damn horse.
What was it that broke you guys up in the first place? - She's dangerous.
- One of them, huh? ''One of them'' ain't even in the same league with this one.
Excuse me.
I'm meeting a friend.
- Good luck.
- You too.
Chaz's dad told me what happened at his funeral.
- Not my proudest moment.
- You went after Ryan.
I saw him smiling.
Just pissed me off.
Chaz is dead.
It's his fault, and he's smiling.
No, man.
He shouldn't have been smiling.
Your buddy's truck went over an I.
E.
D.
How is that Ryan's fault? The only reason Chaz was there was 'cause Ryan signed up.
- Should've been him on that truck.
- Ten months later, it was.
Ryan lost his leg.
That wasn't enough for you? He still hooked up with some nurse.
Still came home.
- Rode his damn horse.
- How do you know he went riding? He was practically crying, he was so happy.
Said he was gonna go by and see Chaz's dad.
I don't even know how he let him in the house.
- When was this? - Sunday.
[ Cell Phone Ringing .]
Yeah, Grace? Uh-huh.
Manny just pointed us in the same direction.
So which is it, Lucas? Did you or did you not see Ryan? I didn't even answer the door, Bobby.
I didn't talk to him.
- Where were you Tuesday evening? - Working in my backyard.
- Anyone with you? - No.
Sun Ride Stables.
I was looking at the names of the horses- Thunder, King, Big Red Chaz.
An Appaloosa filly named after your son.
I called the owner of the stables.
You see him every Sunday at church.
He said he bought the filly a few months ago.
He said he told you to ride her whenever you wanted.
He said you took her out on Tuesday, Mr.
Benbrook.
What happened? Ryan- [ Clears Throat .]
I opened the front door.
He was there smiling, happy.
He'd been to see his horse.
- And you thought about Chaz.
- Manny wasn't the only one who blamed Ryan, was he? They said it was an act of war.
But Ryan Whitehorse was the team leader.
He was the one who put your son on that truck where he was blown to bits.
We barely had anything left of him to bury.
So you wanted to make sure there was nothing of Ryan to bury.
That's why you burned him.
Ryan was so proud of being Arapaho- Honoring his heritage as he went off to war.
He didn't deserve honor in death.
My boy died because of him.
[ Sniffling .]
[ Sniffling .]
I'm sorry, Bobby.
[ Chanting In Native American Language.]
[ Chanting Continues .]

[ Rattling .]
Hey.
Hey.

- I know.
- Can't screw this up.
- Shut up.
I'm concentrating.
[ Laughing .]
Wait! [ Blowing .]
- [ Cheering .]
- [ Man .]
Whoo-hooI We used to do this in grade school with erasers.
Oh, can't you just see 'em? Little Catholic schoolgirl uniforms.
I still have mine.
[ Laughs .]
- HeyI - Hey, where you been? - He had to check in.
- Bullshit.
Yeah? I got a 20 says otherwise.
Mm, I'll get in on some of that action.
You guys are deplorable, you know that? Put me down for 1 0.
I got a 20 says he didn't.
The bets are in.
Give me your phone.
Let's let the lady take a look.
- Pay up! - [ All Groan .]
- I think you'll really like message number three.
- Okay, okay.
Double or nothing.
- [ Scoffs .]
- [ Both Scoffing .]
Take his money, man.
Take his money.
Come on, Rhetta.
Come on, RhettaI Yeah.
- [ Cheering .]
- Yeah! Like taking candy from a baby, man.
- Oh, my God.
- [ Ham .]
Grace, both of your brothers just walked in.
- [ Rhetta .]
And Paige.
- Shit.
- This can't be good.
- [ Laughing .]
[ Acoustic Guitar.]
[ Man .]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, ''I don't even think that God can save me'' - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me - I thought you quit.
- I thought you quit.
Yesterday, Trevor said to me, ''Aunt Grace smokes.
What's the big deal?'' You want your nephew to start smoking? - WhoaI Here we go.
- Sister smackdown! So what's with the delegation? Is Mom okay? - I came for the free beer Paige promised me.
- Mom's fine.
- You won't call us back.
We had to come to you.
- You want to do this? This family needs time together.
We never see each other except at Christmas.
- I thought that was on purpose.
- Me too.
- You're not helping.
Remember those great family vacations we used to take? All of us piled up in the car? Yeah.
Seven kids in the back of a station wagon bloodied, bruised and grounded by the time we got to Six Flags.
You know, you could just make anything sound horrible, you know that? I am proposing a cruise, Grace.
Someplace exotic like Mexico or the Caribbean.
The whole family.
[ Laughing .]
-Jimmy and Joe want to do it.
- Bullshit.
Joe is trying to figure out his schedule.
Come on.
-Joe'll go anywhere he can gamble.
-Jimmy goes anywhere with ESPN.
You can bring that angel along you're talking about.
- Is this a new guy? - What? It's Paige, Leo.
Tell them.
Yeah, come on.
I wanna hear about the angel.
Yeah, I gotta hit it early tomorrow.
Well, at least look at them.
Grace.
How's the family? - Got my ice cream? - Your ice cream's seven months old.
Tastes like cardboard.
- [ Beeping .]
- [ Paige On Answering Machine .]
Grace? Paige.
- There's a sale at- - ''Tennis, rock climbing, golf.
'' Wow.
- All on one little boat.
- [ Paige On Answering Machine.]
Grace, call me.
- I have that- - That sounds like fun.
- [ Computer Voice On Machine.]
Deleted.
- [ Belches .]
Then you go.
Wings wouldn't fit in my swimming trunks.
Hey, Grace, it's Johnny.
Listen, Paige is trying to - - Maybe we should go.
I ain't never been on a cruise ship.
- Deleted.
- Well, the Titanic in its last moments.
- [ Belches .]
- [ Machine Beeping .]
- [ Paige.]
It's me again.
I'm just gonna keep calling until I hear from you.
But a Sunshine Party Cruise.
I just like the way that sounds.
[ Paige.]
Damn it, Grace.
If you don't call me back- The Hanadarko clan, All together for 1 0 days on a Sunshine Party Cruise.
Plenty of time to talk, fight, heal.
You think about it.
I gotta get to Las Vegas.
You ain't the only one with family problems.

Buffalo Bill came across a lone horse wandering this morning on his early morning ride.
- His dog found the body.
- Who the hell would do this to someone? - Henry determine the sex? - He says he can't out here but the prosthetic leg should have an I.
D.
number we can trace.
I mean who the hell would do this to someone? Jesus.
Get out of here, man.
What, Bobby? It's an owl feather.
- Think it was placed out here? - Well, it smacks of a Native American burial custom.
I'm not sure which custom and from which tribe.
- You losing your Indian mojo? - Sometimes my Mexican half crowds it out.
Henry said I smell nice.
How come you never notice things like that? As soon as I get the gasoline and the barbecued human flesh smell out of my nostrils - I'll be sure to sniff you up.
- Gasoline, huh? Freshly dug grave- Maybe 2 4 hours.
The body was torched here.
You tell if they were dead or alive before they were set on fire? Won't be able to know until Henry gets a good look at the body.
But there are no tire tracks.
Lots of hoofprints and horse shit though.
[ Grace.]
Hoofprints stop here.
- He was telling us this is where it happened.
- The victim? - The horse.
- [ Nickers .]
[ Police Radio, Indistinct .]
- He's either a dressage horse or he's kid broke.
- Uh-huh.
- [ Whinnying .]
- He ain't kid broke.
- Hey, now.
Easy.
It's okay.
- [ Blustering .]
It's okay.
- Looks like a barn baby.
- Eric, borrow your water? Give me your hat.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Ah, he's well kept.
If he doesn't belong to the victim somebody's gotta be looking for him.
I'll call the sheriff, see if anybody's missing a horse.
Gotta be the victim's.
All these people, most horses would make a break for it.
[ Whinnies .]
Give me a lift.
Remember when we rode these trails a couple of times? - Any brand on the horse? - No.
Sun Ride Stables is a couple of miles up the road.
Home of your favorite horse.
What's his name? Romeo.
Stallion from hell.
-You showed him who's boss.
-An ugly thing to do to somebody in such a pretty place.
Rhetta's right.
No tire tracks.
Maybe we got a killer on horseback.
You gonna stay up there? Oklahoma, man.
It's so beautiful.
- So ourJohn Doe was shot before he was burned? - Twice.
One in the upper torso, one in the forehead.
He also had a broken rib.
- You guys want to grab some lunch? - Yeah, man.
I'm starving.
- What kind of gun? - Two slugs, both .
44s both at close range.
- Maybe Grace would want to join us.
- Maybe.
This was serious overkill.
Why burn the body? I'm running the serial number on the prosthetic leg.
- And I found something else interesting.
- What? Carved numbers on the underside of it.
- That could be ''Soc.
'' - I've heard of wounded vets coming back from Iraq - doing something like this.
- My brother's buddy did it.
- It's an easy I.
D.
in case something happens.
- Our victim could be military.
Grace get anything from the stables? She's still checking them out.
Horse wasn't a rental.
It belonged to somebody.
Shall we call Grace, see if she's hungry? [ Laughter.]
Payback's a bitch.
- What do we have on John Doe? - Checking out the numbers Henry found we got calls into Fort Sill and Tinker.
I called the sheriff, ranches in the area.
No missing horses.
What about the Native American connection? Bobby ''Google Horse'' is checking it out.
The Internet's full of Indian burial customs.
Not many survived through the years.
Ones I know about send the spirit peacefully to the afterlife.
- What makes you think we have one? - The owl feather.
Not a good omen to us Indians.
Grace said she's got someone who might shed some light on all that.
- [ Knocking .]
- [ Man .]
We don't want nothing you're sellingI - [ Gun Cocks .]
- He's got a gun.
Who's ''we,'' Geepaw? He's harmless.
Champuli, what are you still doing out there? Get in here! If we're gonna make Houston by nightfall, we gotta leave right now! - Champuli.
- Hey, Geepaw, we're not going to Houston anymore? Houston? Who said anything about Houston? Come in.
Come in.
Her, not you.
[ Laughs .]
Come in.
Come in.
Come in.
[ Horse Blusters .]
You can stop cleaning.
- I'm not here to bust you.
- In that case,you want a smoke? Pass.
Last time I smoked what you offered, I was high for a week.
Nothing but the best for my Champuli.
[ Bird Fluttering .]
Sorry about the gun.
I thought you were Paige.
- You were gonna shoot Paige? - Just scare her a little.
She keeps bugging me about the sweat lodge.
I told her I stopped.
- Have you? - Sure, yesterday.
You know that's not good for you anymore.
Lots of things aren't good for me.
Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop doing them.
Since when did you start sounding like your sister? - That's not even a little funny.
- [ Laughs .]
Got this case.
Body was shot, burned, then buried facedown in a shallow grave.
Owl feather found on top.
It came up it might be an Indian burial ritual.
Doesn't ring any bells, but owl feather, that isn't good.
Maybe if you got a look at the crime scene.
[ Ham .]
Tinker's got a kid A WOL from Edmond could be our guy.
- You check Missing Persons? - Easiest elimination process ever.
Any of'em missing a leg? No.
Had one missing an ear though.
I'm not sure this is a good idea.
He's a quarter more Indian than Bobby.
And that's a quarter more than we had earlier.
Is this your grandpa taught you how to ride? Had me on a horse when I was three days old.
Guess we crossed a stream.
I got wet.
When my mom found out, she threw a hammer at him, knocked him out.
- Champuli.
- What's the ''Champuli''? - Someone wanted to murder this person's soul.
- How do you know that? Stillness.
Even with all this activity, this place is very still.
A lot of anger here.
Think the person we're looking for is Native American? Could be.
Definitely this poor soul.
He's restless, mad.
Give me a minute.
Victim's Native American.
Killer might be too.
Grace.
Champuli? When did you get here? - Have a chance to look at the brochures? - Come on in.
- Doesn't it look like fun? - Coffee? - Decaf? - Regular.
Half a cup.
I told Mom you were coming.
Shit.
Paige- Told the kids too.
Marshall and Hannah literally did backflips.
Why do you always do shit like this? - Because either we're all going or we're not doing it.
- Who says? Who appointed you ruler of the cruise? If I'm organizing it, I get to set the rules.
Yeah.
Breakfast at 7:00, nap at 1 0:00, shuffleboard at noon.
Shit, Paige.
Sign me up.
Sounds like a blast.
Then you tell Mom you're not going- Trevor, Hannah, Marshall and Madison too.
Clay- What's Clay gonna say? - Milk? - Cream.
- Milk? - Tiny bit.
We need to talk about Geepaw.
I saw him yesterday.
- He's not doing too good.
- I know.
-You know? Why didn't you tell me? -I have.
I left you 50 messages.
- [ Sighs .]
Man.
- I thought that was your way of ignoring me -but you don't even listen to them? -Half the time you're calling to tell me where I can get gas three cents cheaper, some stupid crap.
I told you last week.
I left you two stupid-crap messages after I took him to the doctor.
- What'd he say? - If you'd listened, you'd have known what he said.
Geepaw is in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
[ Sighs .]
Shit.
- We have to start thinking about putting him in a home.
- Shit, no.
I'm worried he's gonna hurt himself.
I was there last week.
It was freezing.
He was sitting outside in his underwear.
- He'll die in a home.
- We can't watch him 2 4/7.
I've certainly tried my best.
Maybe we can take shifts.
I'm talking about me too.
Fine.
He's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow at noon.
See that you get him there.
[ Sighs .]
Oh! We got an I.
D.
on thatJohn Doe.
Name's Ryan Whitehorse.
Twenty-four.
Army vet.
Just got back from Walter Reed four days ago.
Ryan Whitehorse? - Why? You know this kid? - I used to work with this youth group.
Ryan was one of the kids I got pretty close to.
Shit, man.
I'm sorry.
I knew he was injured, lost his leg.
I didn't know he was home.
- When was the last time you saw him? - Couple of years ago.
He was home on leave- he and Chaz Benbrook, another kid I worked with.
- They were in the same unit over in Iraq.
- They still buddies? Chaz was killed by a roadside bomb about a year ago.
- Shit, man.
- [ Sighs .]
You wanna make the notification? Ryan's parents died in a car wreck when he was eight.
- Foster homes after that mostly.
- So the kid's got no family? He stayed with Chaz off and on.
I'll let his parents know.
- What about enemies? - Ryan was a smart-ass.
Biggest smile you've ever seen.
He'd get in a few scuffles.
Juvie stuff mostly.
Nothing big.
Fort Sill didn't have a forwarding address, only a P.
O.
box.
I know he got engaged right before he went to Baghdad- High school sweetheart.
Who else would he have looked up when he got home? What do you think, Bobby? Something in the water? Payback? Or just all of us got bad luck? You're doing good, Cam.
Don't let Ryan's death take you back.
Shit happens, right? [ Both .]
It's how you clean it up that counts.
[ Both Laughing .]
- You see Ryan when he came home? - Three days ago.
- He just showed up.
Big smile on his face.
- Yeah.
- Totally surprised us.
- You hang out? All night long, man.
Hearing what a hero he was in Iraq.
Shut up, Manny.
We made the rounds at Bricktown, reminiscing and shit.
Getting totally wasted.
- He have a beef with anybody? - No, man.
He was happy as shit to be home.
Game.
Pay up.
- Where'd he go after he left you? - Most likely Lily's.
We're so sorry, Lily.
- When did you last see Ryan? - Sunday.
- Three days ago? How come? - We broke up.
The day after he comes home you break up with him? Why? He wanted to see his buddies and his horse more than me.
- Who was his buddies? - Cam and Manny, for sure.
My man comes back after being gone two years, he wouldn't be able to come up for air.
- What's going on? - O.
C.
P.
D.
Who are you? He's my brother.
Ames- - Will you tell me what's going on? - Ryan's dead.
- What? - Somebody killed him, Ames.
- We're done here.
- Oh, down, down, down.
Give me your hand.
Let's try this again.
Come on.
On your feet.
Yeah.
We never got it straight whether they were engaged or not.
- Lily was always hiding it.
- That's because her brother hated Ryan.
What was his problem with Ryan? He heard he hooked up with some nurse from Bartlesville over in Iraq.
Ryan was mouthing off about sponge baths and shit.
Sounds like you had a problem with someone you called a buddy.
I just think the wrong dude came back.
Chaz died on enemy soil.
He didn't deserve that.
- Lily's full of shit.
- Yeah, the brother's hiding something too.
Not hiding his saddle.
I'll check his priors.
Get C.
S.
U.
to help toss Ryan's motel room.
- What do you got? - [ Man .]
Lousy pair-I didn't even get a pair here.
Two pairs.
Look at 'em and weep.
Oh, come on, man.
You always get that.
Hey, should they be eating and drinking and smoking this stuff? - Probably not.
- Mm-hmm.
All right, boys.
Deal us in.
[ Overlapping Chatter.]
Five card draw.
Nickel ante.
Mm-hmm.
Drop this over here.
Oh! Pinch me again, I'll hide your meds.
[ Laughter.]
- [ Makes Squawking Noise .]
- So Darko was telling us that you found a burnt-up corpse over at the Arcadia Equestrian Trail.
- Buried face down with an owl's feather.
- Owl's feather's no good.
Lakota tribe used to bury 'em facedown so that their spirit would not return.
- Was he buried with any personal belongings? -Just an owl's feather.
[ Groans .]
Then your dead young man got himself cursed to hell.
Twenty-one.
Blackjack.
- You win, Geepaw.
- [ Chuckles .]
[ Man .]
Let's have one of them cupcakes.
Oh, they look great.
Horse-drawn carriage.
You still wear Meemaw's ring on your right hand.
I love to wear it when I remember why I'm wearing it.
- Don't joke.
- Who's joking? I'm not stupid.
I know what's happening to me.
It don't mean I can't do what I love to do.
Your sister doesn't understand that.
The sweat lodge, the pipe, riding.
I remember when you took me to my first sweat lodge.
You almost gave the boys a heart attack when you crawled in there naked.
It was dark, but they could see you.
It burned the hell out of my ass.
I forgot my towel.
You always forgot your towel.
Yeah.
You never got mad at me.
Never yelled.
- Not once.
- You're a free soul.
And a free soul's gonna do what they do.
- Horse rider.
- Hmm.
- Dream horse.
- You remember.
Horse took me riding almost every night in my dreams.
When I couldn't ride with you, I'd dream.
It kept a lot of nightmares away.
Sometimes I'd go outside in the backyard count the stars all by myself.
Paige would find me, go tell on me.
- Daddy would- - [ Snoring .]
[ Snoring .]
Sometimes family ain't so bad, huh? Pretty soon he's not gonna remember who I am.
- I hate that disease.
- Your boss seems to love it.
Giving it to so many people these days.
Hear he's going even younger.
People get it in their 50s.
Don't tell me, tell God.
Ask him.
Yell at him.
He can take it.
Aw, maybe it's not so bad.
I get it, I'll forget you.
Where do you live, Earl? Is it up there in the stars somewhere? Oh, it's way beyond the stars.
A little cosmic subdivision called ''Angelville.
'' You guys don't even know it's there.
You think the moon's a big deal, Mars.
You know, there's people up there who say they like you.
Who? Well, you got some down here too.
I know there's bad blood but your family just wants to love you, Grace and this wall you've built up, they don't understand.
You need to talk to 'em.
- Boat might be just the place to do it.
- [ Snoring .]
[ Snores .]
[ Laughs .]
- [ Snoring .]
- [ Chuckling .]
Yeah! - Yeah! - Whoa! [ Laughs .]
Whoa! [ Laughs .]
Oh, man.
That felt good.
It's been awhile.
- It was snowing.
- Yeah, it was colder than hell.
That's because we were buck naked.
My mom's foreman thought we were crazy.
I had to pay him a hundred bucks to keep his mouth shut.
Think what you'd have had to pay if he'd caught us in the barn.
[ Groans, Laughs .]
So which tree had the gasoline residue? According to Rhetta's diagram, that one.
Mule fat's been eaten down.
Horse must've grazed for quite awhile.
If the killer was waiting, he knew Ryan was going riding.
Gunshot wounds were straight on, so either both were on horseback or both on the ground.
Two gunshots.
Horse could've reared up.
Ryan got the broken rib when he fell off.
So who knew Ryan was going horseback riding? - Where you been? - Doing my job.
What have you been doing? Tossed Ryan's motel room.
I found a backpack with a few of his belongings, his dog tags.
No I.
D.
or wallet though.
We found out Lily's brother Ames keeps his horse out at Sun Ride Stables a few miles from where Ryan was murdered.
Questioned Lily about it.
She got a little twitchy but didn't offer up anything new.
Except for one thing- She lied about the breakup.
Ryan dumped her, not the other way around.
- Does Lily Blackbird and her brother have an alibi? - Each other.
- Which means, you know, no.
- Ames has a record for assault.
- What about this kid Manny? Does he have an alibi? - Manny's harmless.
It still doesn't erase the fact that he had a problem with Ryan.
Manny looked up to Chaz.
Chaz looked up to Ryan.
Childhood jealousies.
That's all.
I'm gonna talk to Chaz's dad.
I'll ask him.
- Kid's back four days.
- Like God playing some kind of sick joke.
Leg wasn't enough.
He made it home to this.
Grace! You need to go to the parking lot! Everything's okay.
Champuli! Came to pick you up for my doctor's appointment.
You've been riding her hard, huh? - She looks like she could use a rest.
- How about you, Geepaw? - Yeah.
I'm a little tired.
- Come on down.
- What are all these people doing here? - Let's go.
You had one thing to do and you couldn't do that! He rode a horse, Paige, through downtown.
You're the one encouraging him.
Telling him he's vital to a case.
- And you believed him? - So you didn't take him to a crime scene? - One.
- That is not what he needs right now.
What he needs is for us to take away his horse.
- Grace,you got a call.
- Take a message.
I'll call 'em back.
Where's Mom in all this? Geepaw starts screaming if Mom goes near him.
Some hard decisions need to be made.
If you're incapable, get out of the way.
You do remember I'm older and can kick your ass, right? - Is one biting the other? - No.
[ Chuckles .]
When they were kids when the yelling stopped, it would be followed by a scream which meant Paige bit Grace and Grace would be running after Paige with some kind of power tool.
- Scary but not impossible.
- [ Laughs .]
You'd think they hate each other but they're really two halves of the same person each one trying to be a little more like the other.
- You really think so? - No.
[ Rhetta .]
Uh-oh.
Johnny's just arrived.
[ Geepaw .]
Shit's gonna hit the fan now.
- You called Johnny.
- Yeah, she called me.
- So where's Geepaw? - In the courtyard.
I can't believe you called Johnny.
- He calms down.
- Only 'cause he thinks he's going to hell if he doesn't.
- What happened? - This is where I work.
- I do not want to do this here.
- Why didn't you pick him up for his appointment? - She forgot.
- I did not.
- Yes, you did! - Did you? - I was getting ready to leave.
You forgot.
Admit it.
You should've left at 1 1 :00.
His appointment was at noon.
And I should've gone right on Main and left on 63rd, and gone exactly 3 5 miles an hour.
- What else, Paige? - Both of you, calm down.
This is why he needs to be in a home.
I know you love Geepaw.
But I love him enough to be the bad guy.
We don't have a choice.
I think they're coming out.
Good news.
Looks like no blood was shed.
[ Urinating .]
Chaz would've followed Ryan off a cliff.
Didn't matter.
- Or off the roof of a barn.
- I thought they were dead for sure.
- Should've been.
- [ Sighs .]
Chaz didn't even care about horses till Ryan got one.
Didn't care about the army either.
Ryan may have been the leader, but Chaz had a good influence on him.
He taught him a lot.
So did you.
[ Sighs .]
I don't know why I didn't let him move in.
Ryan was a rough kid.
He had a temper.
But the time he spent with you, the family dinners he was a part of, that meant a lot to Ryan.
We're having a service for him on Saturday.
Maybe you want to say a few words? Sure.
- All these kids owe you, Bobby.
- I'm worried about Manny.
He's having a tough time.
I gave him one of Chaz's dog tags.
He lost it.
Cried like a baby.
- You know he blames Ryan.
- I know.
But my son died at war, in service to his country.
Chaz ever say anything about Ryan? - Something like, ''The wrong guy died in Iraq''? - He's a kid.
He lost his best friend.
Of course he said stupid things.
- Did you see Ryan when he came back? - I didn't even know he was home.
We get letters from him once in awhile but I hadn't talked to him since Chaz's funeral.
I spoke to the unit commander.
He said they were good soldiers.
They were just kids.
You okay? You know, some of those places are really nice.
He can make new friends, be safe.
- Promise me we'll go to the same old age home.
- We'll get matching walkers.
Hell, no, motorized scooters so we can rip around the place.
You just gotta appreciate the time you have.
Keep him interested in stuff.
He wants to go riding later.
Paige, of course, shot that down.
He turned, looked at me.
It killed me, man.
I'm gonna go kicking and screaming, aren't you? I mean, what the hell? It's his life.
He made it downtown okay.
He shouldn't be on a horse, Grace.
Can you match a hoofprint to a specific horse? Only if the Who is playing in the background.
- Is that a no? - That's a no.
Ryan flew into Will Rogers on American Airlines, Flight 2 7 on Saturday.
- Arrived at 3.
:47 p.
m.
- Lily Blackbird picks him up.
They check into Room 9A at the Super 8 Motel on Meridian at 5:1 0.
Arrives atJohn's stables around 6.
:00.
No one sees him take his horse out but Lily said he liked riding at sunset.
- So Lily sees him Sunday afternoon.
- Breaks it off with him.
All right, Manny and Cam are with him Sunday night.
No one sees him Monday.
- What about Tuesday? - We checked with the nurse in Bartlesville.
He called her Tuesday morning at 7:39.
Wanted to see her that night.
She couldn't make it.
- He called her back at 4:00.
- Yeah.
He said he was going riding- Sounded happy.
He was hoping it would rain.
He loved riding in the rain.
- Any other friends, family? - The motel manager said he hung around the pool.
Said he, uh, sat in the chair, a big smile on his face,just happy to be here.
What does Grace have going with Ames Blackbird? She's going at him again.
Said Rhetta gave her an idea.
- You letting go of Ames? - Yeah, Lily too.
The matching hoofprint bullshit didn't faze 'em at all.
What's going on with Manny? Bobby and Ham are going back to him, but Bobby's pretty sure the kid doesn't have it in him.
Pretty sure ain't good enough.
We gotta be missing something.
- I'm outta here.
It's 4.
:30.
- Night,Jay.
- How's your grandpa? - You saw him.
Why does he call you ''Champuli''? It means ''Sweet One'' in Choctaw.
You busy right now? - You okay, Geepaw? - Yeehaw, Champuli! Yeehaw, Geepaw! Let him go.
[ Laughing .]
- [ Neighing .]
- Whoa! This is 1 2-1 2-1 8.
Elderly man fell off a horse.
I'll spend the night with him.
I'm gonna stay.
It's okay.
This is my fault.
I'm really tired.
Tomorrow we'll figure out what we're gonna do.
Take care of him, okay? [ Growling .]
So which is it? The job or the woman? Both.
Well, a job can tire a man out, but it takes a woman to twist a man up- - And, son,you're twisted.
- A buddy of mine likes her too.
- That's tough.
- And he's married.
Even tougher.
I saw her on a horse today.
That's what did it, that damn horse.
What was it that broke you guys up in the first place? - She's dangerous.
- One of them, huh? ''One of them'' ain't even in the same league with this one.
Excuse me.
I'm meeting a friend.
- Good luck.
- You too.
Chaz's dad told me what happened at his funeral.
- Not my proudest moment.
- You went after Ryan.
I saw him smiling.
Just pissed me off.
Chaz is dead.
It's his fault, and he's smiling.
No, man.
He shouldn't have been smiling.
Your buddy's truck went over an I.
E.
D.
How is that Ryan's fault? The only reason Chaz was there was 'cause Ryan signed up.
- Should've been him on that truck.
- Ten months later, it was.
Ryan lost his leg.
That wasn't enough for you? He still hooked up with some nurse.
Still came home.
- Rode his damn horse.
- How do you know he went riding? He was practically crying, he was so happy.
Said he was gonna go by and see Chaz's dad.
I don't even know how he let him in the house.
- When was this? - Sunday.
[ Cell Phone Ringing .]
Yeah, Grace? Uh-huh.
Manny just pointed us in the same direction.
So which is it, Lucas? Did you or did you not see Ryan? I didn't even answer the door, Bobby.
I didn't talk to him.
- Where were you Tuesday evening? - Working in my backyard.
- Anyone with you? - No.
Sun Ride Stables.
I was looking at the names of the horses- Thunder, King, Big Red Chaz.
An Appaloosa filly named after your son.
I called the owner of the stables.
You see him every Sunday at church.
He said he bought the filly a few months ago.
He said he told you to ride her whenever you wanted.
He said you took her out on Tuesday, Mr.
Benbrook.
What happened? Ryan- [ Clears Throat .]
I opened the front door.
He was there smiling, happy.
He'd been to see his horse.
- And you thought about Chaz.
- Manny wasn't the only one who blamed Ryan, was he? They said it was an act of war.
But Ryan Whitehorse was the team leader.
He was the one who put your son on that truck where he was blown to bits.
We barely had anything left of him to bury.
So you wanted to make sure there was nothing of Ryan to bury.
That's why you burned him.
Ryan was so proud of being Arapaho- Honoring his heritage as he went off to war.
He didn't deserve honor in death.
My boy died because of him.
[ Sniffling .]
[ Sniffling .]
I'm sorry, Bobby.

Hey.
Hey.
