Fancy Dance

Pull here...

and you won't kill the plant.

Okay?

Hurry.

Hop up there.

Okay.

I'll give you 40 for the gold and three for the bait.

I was thinking 50.

I was thinking five.

I'll do 45 and 3.50. Tops.

That's fine.

- That's fine. - And the boost?

Parked in the back.

Wait here.

Who can find the corn? Who can find the corn?

Who can find the corn? Who can find the corn?

Which one? Can you find the corn?

That one.

Is it?

Who can find the corn?

- Hello. - Do you have any more of that red clover?

Yeah.

Heard anything from the troopers?

Nope.

Can't get the feds on the phone neither.

I got ahold of Nawi-Yago.

Says he can get you that construction job up in Tulsa.

He can hook you up with a room and everything.

I appreciate the offer and all,

but I can't be taking off till my sister gets back.

I just don't want you slipping on something stupid

and ending up back in court.

Here's them chops from that buck Cecil shot.

Throw them in a Crock-Pot with a can of beer. You'll thank me.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Who can find the corn?

Thirty-seven

plus eighteen equals...

Fifty-four, 55.

Better not be cheating me in there.

I know how to count, Auntie.

That ain't what I'm worried about.

- I'm still $45 short. - For what?

Entry fee for me and Mom. For the powwow.

She won't miss it, will she?

Your mom ever missed a powwow?

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Jax Goodiron.

I'm with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.

Well, it says Child Protective Services.

Yes. I'm here to talk to you about your niece.

Okay.

I understand you've been taking care of Roki since her mother left two weeks ago?

Yeah.

Well, with her gone, it's my job to make sure Roki is safe

and assign custody to a proper guardian.

How long has Roki been residing at this residence?

Her whole life.

- And her father? - No.

No, there ain't no father. It's just three of us here.

Here's an application you need to fill out for temporary guardianship.

You can mail it to the address on my card.

Feel free to call my cell if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Who was it?

Some white woman asking for directions.

Here.

Add that to your powwow fund.

You know you don't have to pay me.

I do have to pay you.

I just mean this ain't work for me.

To dance for you like this.

To be with you.

I give you this money 'cause I respect you.

It makes my intentions clear.

I'm sorry I didn't make it out to the search party.

It's just I've been covering your sister's shifts, and Cricket's knocked up again.

No. Don't worry about it.

Could do me one favor though.

Yeah.

Just keep an ear out.

Tell me if you hear anything about Tawi.

Sure. I can do that.

I appreciate it.

You're the only person that tips me more money when I have my clothes on.

Hey.

Any of y'all seen this woman around anywhere?

Is that your girlfriend or something?

It's my sister.

Yeah, I seen her.

You have? Where?

Posters like these all around town.

Can't miss her.

This bitch is everywhere.

You could have just said, "No."

Ain't you on duty?

Dale's going to be pissed if he finds you in here with them posters again.

Tribal PD ain't doing shit.

Ain't our jurisdiction, Jax.

Feds got the tip line up, and they'll follow any lead that comes in.

Any chance Tawi made it up to Montana, hit up Rocky Boy?

Wouldn't be the first time she took off for powwow season.

Hey, you wouldn't know about a truck gone missing up on Fifth Line, would you?

Nope. I sure haven't.

I'll make sure and call the tip line if I do.

Fair enough.

Weecha! All right, all right!

Next up, we got a real treat.

The mother and daughter dance. Everybody to the arena! Let's go!

- Oh, shit. - All right.

- Oh, shit. - Okay, I got you.

All right.

All right. You're good. Come on.

Okay.

I got it.

There. You're good.

Hey, Uncle.

Hey. Don't stay up too late.

Jesus fucking Christ, Roki.

What?

Can't you just go outside?

Play like a normal kid.

I can't.

The powwow's next weekend. I'm making Mom a new shawl.

This is Jax Goodiron again.

Yeah, I'm calling about my sister's case.

I needed to speak to Agent Hollis, please.

No, I did.

I did speak to the sheriff's.

No, they said the rez is federal jurisdiction.

I needed to call you to get her listed as a missing person.

Yeah, I did leave a message.

Yeah, please.

Yeah, tell him it's very important.

Fuck.

Place looks good.

Coming in, I saw where they tore down the old burger bar out on 60.

Your father tells me they made a great bacon cheeseburger.

Yeah.

That place been gone for three years at least.

Roki, you really are growing up so fast.

How old are you now?

Thirteen.

Wow. Thirteen. And already sewing.

What kinda costume you working up?

It's not really a costume.

It's called regalia, babe.

Tawi and Roki, they dance at the big powwow

down in Oklahoma City every year.

They're the reigning mother-daughter champs.

That is great.

I used to do a bit of theater myself back in high school.

Your mom must've been a very good dancer.

Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

Jax was a great dancer too.

She and her mom used to compete when she was just about Roki's age.

- Ain't that right? - What is it that you're doing here?

We just... We thought it'd be a good idea to come in and check in on you.

We did try calling.

Frank, we should get the...

Oh, yeah.

Your grandpa and I saw this at the mall,

and we thought you might like it.

But no worries if you don't. We can take it back.

No worries at all, Roki.

No. No, I like it.

- Good. That's great. - Yeah.

Any updates on Tawi?

You should know.

What's that supposed to mean?

Means what it means.

Look, can we not do this?

I didn't come all the way out here to fight.

Why did you come?

Well, obviously, I'm worried about your sister.

You ain't been at any of the searches.

Well, I'm here now and I'm trying.

Well, I could use your help putting some pressure on the FBI.

- They ain't doing shit. - What's your brother say?

Tribal PD don't have pull on a case like this. It's all federal.

I don't know what makes you think they'll listen to me.

Well, you calling ain't the same thing as me calling.

Because I'm white.

Always punishing me for this thing I didn't choose.

Oh, bullshit. You chose not to be here.

I lived out here for 15 years 'cause that's what your mother wanted.

So she dies, the job's done?

No. I had to move on with my life, Jax.

I tried to take you and your sister with me, but you chose to stay here.

Yeah, why would we leave our home?

You really think she's in trouble this time?

Ain't no other way I can figure it.

All right.

I'll call.

There you go.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Take care, Lillie. - You too.

- One for me and one for you. - Fat chance.

Come on. Haven't you ever heard of a trust relationship?
