Thunderheart (1992) - full transcript
An FBI man with Sioux background is sent to a reservation to help with a murder investigation, where he has to come to terms with his heritage. Slowly he rejects the intimidating tactics of his fellow FBI agents, who are not so interested in solving the crime as covering up an incriminating situation with the locals, and as he becomes more tuned to his heritage, the locals begin trusting him. Based on actual Reservation occurrences of the '70s.

WWEN weather watch says
temperatures will remain
in the mid-90s
for the D.C. area
with high humidity readings...
Continuing with talk radio,
this is Roger on the air.
Who's this nimble brain
talking to us?
( horn honking )
And next Tuesday night is
Fan Appreciate Night at...
( horn honking )
870 on your A.M. dial.
And now,
stay tuned for more...
The inbound commute
from Virginia on the loop
is congested
to
the Springfield interchange.
The reason...
El desfile
fue estupendo, verdad?
Ya lo creo.
Yo lo vi...
The sky was bright orange
and could be seen
from as far away
as ten miles...

LEVOI.
YOUR NAME POPPED UP
THIS MORNING, RAYMOND.
IMPRESSIVE BACKGROUND--
TWO YEARS STREET WORK
THREE YEARS UNDERGROUND.
YOU'VE DONE
SOME FINE DEEP COVER WORK.
THANK YOU, SIR.
HOW'S THE COLONEL?
MY FATHER IS FINE, SIR.
HE SENDS HIS REGARDS.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.
I WAS JUST LOOKING OVER
YOUR FAMILY TREE HERE.
IT'S QUITE A MIXTURE--
LITHUANIAN
SCOTCH-IRISH...
FRENCH...
AND AMERICAN INDIAN.
SIOUX INDIAN, IS IT?
I, UH, DON'T KNOW, SIR.
SIOUX.
YOUR REAL FATHER WAS HALF
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
I DIDN'T KNOW MY FATHER, SIR.
HE DIED WHEN I WAS A BABY.
HE DIED
WHEN YOU WERE SEVEN.
I'M PULLING YOU
OUT OF YOUR PROVINCE.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
TWO-MAN TEAM.
YOU'LL WORK UNDER COUTELLE.
ASAC, DENVER.
FRANK COUTELLE?
YOU KNOW COOCH?
NO, SIR, BUT I...
HIS CAREER IS... FANTASTIC.
HE'S A LEGEND.
LEGENDARY PAIN IN THE ASS.
NOW THERE'S AN OLD DOG
WHO DOESN'T LIKE NEW TRICKS...
OR NEW AGENTS ON HIS BLOCK.
BUT HE'S TOP-SHELF.
THANK YOU
FOR THE ASSIGNMENT, SIR.
WHERE IS HIS BLOCK?
THE BADLANDS.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
THERE'S BEEN A HOMICIDE
ON THE INDIAN LAND.
SEVERAL IN RECENT YEARS.
THERE'S A MILITANT GROUP
OPERATING ON THE RESERVATION.
CALL THEMSELVES "ARM"--
ABORIGINAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
EXTREMELY VIOLENT.
THEY SAY THEY'VE GONE THERE
TO DEFEND
TRADITIONAL NATIVES
AGAINST
PRO-GOVERNMENT NATIVES.
IT'S TURNED
INTO A CIVIL CONFLICT,
INDIAN AGAINST INDIAN.
PLACE IS A TINDERBOX.
NOW, THIS IS
A MURDER INVESTIGATION
BUT IT'S ALSO
ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE--
HELPING PEOPLE CAUGHT
IN THE ILLUSIONS OF THE PAST
COME TO TERMS
WITH THE REALITIES
OF THE PRESENT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
MY ASSIGNMENT, SIR.
WHAT...
WHAT'S MY COVER?
NO COVER.
YOU'RE GOING IN THERE
AS WHO YOU ARE--
AN AMERICAN INDIAN
FEDERAL OFFICER.
I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE
WITH A NATIVE AMERICAN
REPRESENTATIVE IN THERE
THAT WE CAN
DIFFUSE THE TENSION
AND IMPROVE RELATIONS.
AS LONG AS OUR P.R. OFFICER'S
DISSEMINATING INFORMATION
THAT WE'RE SENDING THE INDIANS
ONE OF THEIR OWN
NOBODY'S GOING TO ASK YOU
TO WEAVE ANY BASKETS
OR MAKE IT RAIN.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
I WANT IT
CLOSED IN THREE DAYS.
LEEVOY?
LEVOI?
HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
LEVOI.
LEVOI.
MR. COUTELLE.
COOCH.
ACTUALLY, WE MET BEFORE
IN '76 AT QUANTICO.
I HEARD YOUR SPEECH
ON THE HOBBS ACT--
LABOR RELATIONS.
LOOK, WE GOT 87 MILES
TO THE RES.
WE BETTER HIT IT.
HOW MANY FIELD AGENTS
DO WE HAVE OUT THERE?
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME
AND THE LONE PRAIRIE.
WHO FOUND THE D.B.?
NO NEED TO KNOW.
THE ABORIGINAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
SEEMS TO BE PRETTY ACTIVE.
LOOK, UH, LEVOI...
TURN YOUR HEAD
TO THE RIGHT
FOR A SECOND.
YOU KNOW,
IN THE RIGHT LIGHT
WITH YOUR HEAD TURNED
LIKE THAT
YOU KIND OF REMIND ME
OF SAL MINEO
IN ARROWS ON THE PRAIRIE.
OTHER THAN THAT
YOUR COMING HERE IS LIKE
PISSING IN THE WIND
SO DROP THE QUESTIONS.
STICK TO THE ASSIGNMENT,
OKAY?
WOULD YOU LIKE A SMOKE?
I DON'T SMOKE.
GOOD. THOSE THINGS
WILL KILL YOU.
Cooch:
LOOK AT THIS.
WE HAVE A THIRD WORLD
SLAPDAB IN THE MIDDLE
OF AMERICA.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, HUH?
USED TO BE ALL THEIRS
CLEAR ON UP INTO CANADA.
THIS IS WHAT
THEY GOT LEFT WITH.
JESUS.
Ray:
THEY JUST LEFT
THE BODY OUT HERE?
Cooch:
F.B.I. JURISDICTION.
THE BODY BELONGS TO US.
PHEW! RIPE ONE.
LEO FAST ELK.
NOT FAST ENOUGH,
I GUESS.
"RAISED ON THE RESERVATION."
KEY.
"37. SINGLE.
RESIDENT
OF COMMUNITY THREE HOUSING."
THAT'S PENNY-ANTE STUFF, SAL.
FIFTH MEMBER
OF THE TRIBAL COUNCIL.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE
OF THE DAMAGES?
AUTOMATIC.
M-1, M-16.
.223. HIGH VELOCITY.
SOFT TIP, MAYBE.
Cooch:
VERY CLINICAL.
NOT THAT FANCY.
IT'S A 30-30 LEVER ACTION.
NO FRILLS.
FIVE TIMES.
MAYBE FIVE FEET AWAY.
LET'S SPIRAL.
WE WANT CASINGS.
HERE YOU GO.
EAGLE FEATHER
INSIDE A CIRCLE.
THAT'S THE ARM SYMBOL.
( engine revving )
( flies buzzing )
( gun cocking )
Cooch:
FEDERAL OFFICER!
HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!
DO IT!
COME BACK
TO COVER YOUR TRACKS, PAL?
LEO'S BEEN OUT HERE
TOO LONG.
I'M TAKING HIM
TO CEREMONIAL BURIAL.
THIS IS RESTRICTED AREA,
GERONIMO.
IT'S INDIAN LAND.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
EASY, SAL.
AIN'T GERONIMO, CHIEF.
MAYBE YOU GUYS
GOT OFF THE WRONG EXIT.
YOU LOOKING
FOR MOUNT RUSHMORE?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I'M
A FULL-BLOODED OGLALA SIOUX.
YOU'RE A MURDER SUSPECT,
AND YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION.
WHO ARE YOU?
HE'S A FUCKING COP
IS WHAT HE IS.
FUCKING COP?
YEP. WALTER CROW HORSE.
TRIBAL POLICE.
( laughing humorlessly )
SHIT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT, WALTER.
HE'S NEW ON THE BLOCK,
KIND OF GUNG HO.
Crow Horse:
YEAH, WE GOT WIND
YOU WAS COMING.
THIS YOUR INDIAN
OFFICIAL, YEAH?
YEAH. THIS IS RAY HERE.
RAY, UH,
LITTLE WEASEL.
LITTLE WEASEL?
MM-HMM.
YEAH, WELL, UH...
LEO'S GOT TO GET
TO CEREMONY.
GOT TO MAKE THE JOURNEY.
WHAT JOURNEY?
OH, THE JOURNEY.
RIGHT.
IT'S TIME.
LOOK, CROW FOOT
THE ONLY JOURNEY
LEO IS GOING TO MAKE
IS TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
IN RAPID CITY.
IN CASE YOU
DIDN'T KNOW IT, OFFICER
VIOLATION
OF THE MAJOR CRIMES ACT...
...ON AN INDIAN RESERVATION
IS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION
OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INTIMIDATION.
I KNOW THAT.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
NOW VAMOOSE.
( speaking in Lakota )
SORRY?
YEAH, RIGHT.
I SAID, UH, WHEN CAN LEO
BE TAKEN TO CEREMONY?
WE'LL, UH, LET YOU KNOW.
HAVE YOU KNOWN LEO LONG?
NICE SHADES.
Cooch:
THERE'S MORE HOMICIDE HERE
THAN THE WHOLE REST
OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
OVER WHAT?
CIVIL WAR.
YOU GOT THE SO-CALLED
TRADITIONALISTS MIXED UP
WITH OUTSIDE AGITATORS--
THEY WANT TO GO BACK
TO THE TEPEE
AND THE BUFFALO HUNT--
AGAINST THE PRO-GOVERNMENT
INDIANS.
LIKE LEO FAST ELK.
RIGHT.
YEAH.
WELL, HE WAS A COUNCIL MEMBER
SO OFFING HIM
WOULD BE A MAJOR COUP
FOR THESE
MILITANT TRADITIONALISTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY WANT TO OVERTHROW
THE RESERVATION COUNCIL
AND REINSTATE
THE OLD CHIEF SYSTEM
AND THEN RECLAIM THE AMERICAS
ALL THE WAY FROM ALASKA
DOWN TO ARGENTINA
OR SOME DAMN THING.
WELL, IF THEY WANT
TO DO SOME GOOD
THEY SHOULD
CLEAN UP THE GARBAGE
IN THEIR FRONT YARDS FIRST.
Cooch:
NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF, RAY.
THEY'RE YOUR OWN PEOPLE
AREN'T THEY?
THEY ARE NOT MY PEOPLE.
WELL, JUST DON'T GO OVERBOARD
TRYING TO PROVE THAT POINT.
I THOUGHT
YOU WERE GOING TO SNUFF
OLD CROW HORSE BACK THERE.
HEY, EASY NOW.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
STAY CALM, CHIEF.
JUST A ROAD INSPECTION.
COUTELLE,
YOU FOUND YOUR WAY BACK.
RAY, THIS IS JACK MILTON,
TRIBAL PRESIDENT.
YOU'RE THE INDIAN OFFICIAL
THEY SENT US.
THIS IS
RAY LITTLE...
RAY LEVOI.
MR. MILTON.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Milton:
THEY'RE TRADITIONALS.
SUPPORTERS OF ARM.
WE'RE LOOKING
FOR SOME PEOPLE.
ARM LEFT THEIR MARK
AT THE BODY SITE.
IT'S GONE TOO FAR
OUT HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO CATCH
THESE MURDERERS
AND TAKE CARE OF THEM
INDIAN WAY.
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S GOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF
THE LEGAL WAY, JACK.
FEDERAL JURISDICTION.
ARE THESE
TRIBAL COPS?
GUARDIANS
OF THE OGLALA NATION.
GOONS FOR SHORT.
TRIBAL RANGERS--
AUXILIARY SECURITY.
THEY'VE BEEN EMPLOYED TO RUN
THESE SO-CALLED WARRIORS OFF.
Cooch:
TELL THEM TO PUT
THEIR GUNS AWAY, JACK.
THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH SHOOTING
AROUND HERE.
COME ON.
IF THE FEDERALS
DON'T GET RID OF THEM
WE WILL.
THE ARM IS GOING TO BE
THE BUSTED ARM.
HEY, LOUIS.
JUST SHUT UP
AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD.
MOVE ASIDE.
CLEAR THE ROAD.
I SAID DON'T MOVE.
STAY IN THERE.
WHERE THE HELL
DID THEY SEND US?
A LONG WAY
FROM HOME, RAY.
OKAY, NOW HERE'S THE DEAL.
ARM'S ON
ITS LAST LEGS.
MOST OF THEIR LEADERS
ARE IN JAIL OR DEAD.
WE'VE GOT
TWO KEY EXTREMISTS LEFT.
MAGGIE EAGLE BEAR.
LOCAL SCHOOL TEACHER.
CENTRAL.
PROPENSITY FOR ARMED PROTEST,
INFLAMMATORY ACTS.
OPENLY ADVOCATES
SYSTEMATIC VIOLENCE.
THEN WE GOT...
JIMMY.
JAMES LOOKS TWICE.
Cooch:
THE LAST MESSIAH
OF THE MOVEMENT.
NATIONAL LEADER.
FELONY RECORD?
WELL, HE BURNED
THE AMERICAN FLAG
THREE WEEKS AGO
IN FRONT
OF THE COUNCIL OFFICES.
PLEDGED TO OVERTHROW
MILTON'S GOONS.
AFFIDAVITS?
FIVE.
PLUS WE GOT A DATA MATCH
BETWEEN HIM AND LEO FAST ELK.
TWO ASSAULTS
LAST MONTH.
HE'S MY DOER, RAY.
NOW WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN
IS THIS AFTERNOON
WE'RE GOING
INTO ONE OF
THEIR GUERILLA CAMPS
AND BUST HIS ASS.
TWO ASSAULTS ON LEO?
WELL...
THREE.
( chanting )
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
SWEAT UNIT.
ON THE GROUND.
F.B.I., COME OUT EASY.
( chanting stops )
COME ON, GRANDPA,
MOVE IT.
LET'S GO.
( speaking Lakota )
MOVE ALONG.
F.B.I. AGENT.
WE'LL DO THE TALKING.
GO ON.
MOVE IT,
MOVE IT.
COME ON.
MOVE IT.
TURN AROUND
AND SHUT UP.
OH, MAN.
NICE HAIRCUT, JIMMY.
THIS IS
A SPIRITUAL CEREMONY.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
YOU RESIST
IT ALL GETS REAL SIMPLE
REAL FAST.
YOU KNOW, SUBJECT RESISTED,
SUBJECT IS DEAD.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN INIPI CEREMONY.
YOU DRAG PEOPLE OUT
OF THEIR CHURCHES
WHILE THEY'RE PRAYING?
GET YOUR CLOTHES ON.
GO ON HOME.
Prisoner:
OKAY, OW, DON'T!
( hawk screeches )
Officer:
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
GOT IT.
MY TURN.
Jimmy:
YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME.
DON'T BE SO SURE,
JIMMY.
HANGING THAT FLAG UPSIDE DOWN
IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
I WAS IN
THE SERVICE, MAN.
'NAM.
DECORATED.
YEAH, ME TOO, JIMMY.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW
AN UPSIDE-DOWN FLAG'S
A DISTRESS SIGNAL.
CUT THE MILITANT BULLSHIT.
I'M NOT A MILITANT,
I'M A WARRIOR.
AND I'M JOHN WAYNE.
IT'S A 500-YEAR RESISTANCE.
YOU CAN'T BREAK
THE CONNECTION.
FOLLOW?
IT'S A 500-YEAR-OLD
VOICE.
HAVE YOU GOT
A KEY?
ALL RIGHT.
AGENT LEVOI,
THE FEDERAL
MASTER KEY, PLEASE.
NO, DON'T.
GOONS JUST BUSTED
MY DOOR SUNDAY.
IT'S IN THE CAN.
THE KEY.
USE THE KEY.
IT'S IN
THE COFFEE CAN.
COFFEE CAN.
YEAH,
IN THE COFFEE CAN
IN THE HOLE.
( children screaming )
Cooch:
ISSUE A FUGITIVE ALERT.
ASSAULT
ON A FEDERAL OFFICER.
Has the officer
been shot?
NO, HE'S BEEN BIT
BY A FUCKING BADGER.
( siren wailing )
OKAY, OKAY!
I SAID HOLD IT!
( rustling )
( child sobbing )
Man:
GO THROUGH EVERYTHING.
TURN AROUND,
KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WALL.
WE KNOW JIMMY'S HERE.
WE KNOW YOU'RE HIDING HIM.
GODDAMN GOONS,
GET THE FUCK
OFF MY PROPERTY.
IF YOU WANT US
TO LEAVE, SCUM
THEN TELL US
WHERE HE IS.
( gunfire )
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
THIS IS A SCHOOL!
KNOCK IT OFF!
THEY'RE NOT THE ENEMY.
JIMMY HAVE ANY KIDS?
YEAH, THREE,
AS FAR AS WE KNOW.
MOVE IT, MOVE IT.
YOU, GET OVER HERE.
LEAVE HER ALONE.
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME.
I'M GOING INSIDE.
I'VE GOT TO GET SOME THINGS.
RAYMOND LEVOI LITTLE WIENER.
FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INTERPRETATION.
YOU SNUCK UP ON ME
JUST LIKE A REAL CITY INDIAN.
YOU DON'T LISTEN SO GOOD,
DO YOU, CROW HORSE?
WATCH IT. YOU'RE STEPPING
ON SIGN.
LEO WASN'T KILLED HERE,
MAN.
HE WAS DUMPED HERE.
OUT OF A CAR.
BALD TREAD, MUFFLER HELD ON
WITH BAILING WIRE.
19 AND 60 CHEVROLET,
BLUE AND WHITE.
LEO'S OWN CAR.
IT'S STILL MISSING.
THE MAN YOU WANT
DRAGGED LEO OUT
ON HIS BACK
TURNED HIM FACE DOWN.
MADE A CIRCLE IN THE EARTH
WITH A LODGEPOLE PINE BOUGH.
DUSTED HIS PRINTS WITH IT
BACK TO LEO'S VEHICLE
BUT HE MISSED ONE.
WHOEVER KILLED LEO
WALKS HEEL-TOE.
PLANTIGRADE.
LIKE A WHITE MAN.
JIMMY HAS
AN INDIAN WALK.
CARRIES ABOUT 140 POUNDS.
THIS GUY WAS A
BIG SON-OF-A-BUCK.
BASED ON THE DEPTH
OF THAT PRINT
I'D SAY
HE GOES 210, 215.
HOW MUCH CHANGE DID
HE HAVE IN HIS POCKET?
63 CENTS.
YOU'RE OUT
OF YOUR JURISDICTION.
LET'S GO.
JURISDICTION'S
THE ONLY THING YOU GOT.
YOU GOT TO LISTEN
TO THE TREES, HOSS.
GOT TO STOP AND LISTEN
TO THE WIND.
IT WILL
TELL YOU THINGS, KOLA.
CROW HORSE,
I FLEW IN HERE
FROM A PLACE CALLED
THE 20th CENTURY.
I DON'T NEED TO LISTEN
TO THE TREES
OR TALK TO THE SAND
TO GET ANSWERS.
WELL, YOU GO BACK
TO THE M.E.
AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK
INSIDE LEO'S WOUNDS
AND YOU TELL ME HOW HE GOT
RED LIMESTONE IN THERE.
YOU'LL ONLY FIND THAT
AT THE BED
OF THE LITTLE WALKING RIVER.
THAT'S WHERE
HE WAS KILLED
WHERE SHE CROSSES
MAGGIE EAGLE BEAR'S PLACE.
TELL 007 WHEN HE'S
STITCHED UP...
WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
YOU COULDN'T DUST
FRANK COUTELLE'S BADGE.
OR HIS BADGER,
FOR THAT MATTER.
YOU WEIGHT 173, HUH?
YOU'RE NOT
A BEER DRINKER.
YOU'RE ONE OF THESE
TOFU-AND-PILAF CHARACTERS.
YOUR GUN'S
ON YOUR RIGHT HIP.
YOU GOT A BACKUP.
A LITTLE
.32, .38 MAYBE
IN AN ANKLE HOLSTER.
GIVES YOU A LEFT-FOOT DRAG.
YOU'RE WEARING
BRAND-NEW SHOES
THAT ARE A LITTLE TOO TIGHT
IN THE INSTEP
BUT, MAN, THEY LOOK COOL,
AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.
AM I RIGHT?
CROW HORSE?
FUCK YOU.
LOVE TO.
MA'AM?
MA'AM, WAIT.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU
FOR A MOMENT.
( car approaching )
WE'RE UNARMED.
Ray:
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
GRANDMA?
GRANDMA, YOU ALL RIGHT?
I GAVE HER A LITTLE START.
SHE'S FINE.
DON'T WORRY,
GRANDMA.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
THE WASHINGTON REDSKIN.
YOU MUST BE
THE INDIAN F.B.I.
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU LOOKING FOR JIMMY?
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
Child:
OKAY, YELLOW HAWK.
Woman:
I THINK SO.
HE CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT
OF ME ABOUT TWO MILES BACK
AND THEN HE FLEW AWAY.
HE FLEW AWAY?
YEAH. HE CAN
SHAPE-SHIFT.
SHAPE-SHIFT?
INTO DIFFERENT ANIMALS.
YOU KNOW.
DEER, ELK, PORCUPINE.
CROW, SOMETIMES.
IS THAT A HEREDITARY THING,
OR CAN ONE TAKE CLASSES?
GET OFF.
TAKE HER IN,
TAKE HER IN.
YOU LIVE HERE?
WHY?
NO, HE DOESN'T.
WHERE WERE YOU
TWO DAYS AGO
6:30 IN THE MORNING?
YOU GOT A WARRANT?
NO. YOU WANT TO TAKE
A DRIVE WITH ME
OR TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE
TWO DAYS AGO?
MOMMY, MOMMY!
I WAS IN RAPID CITY.
I HAD AN 8:00 INTERVIEW
WITH A TV REPORTER.
DESECRATION
OF TRIBAL BURIAL GROUNDS.
GO INSIDE.
HE'S NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
THE CHILDREN WERE WITH ME.
WE STOCKED UP
ON DRINKING WATER
AND DROVE BACK
TO THE RES AROUND NOON.
OKAY, AND THE OLD WOMAN
WAS WITH YOU?
NO.
WHY?
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HER.
NO. SHE'S AFRAID
OF THE F.B.I.s.
I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
A MURDER WAS COMMITTED
ON YOUR PROPERTY.
I'M SURE
IF YOU JUST EXPLAIN
THAT WE'RE HERE AS A SERVICE
TO THE COMMUNITY
SHE'LL COOPERATE.
SHE DOESN'T TALK
TO WASI'CUS.
BUT THEN, YOU'RE INDIAN.
THAT'S CORRECT.
HMM. WHAT NATION?
THE UNITED STATES.
HMPH.
I'M A SIOUX.
WHO DO YOU GET
YOUR BLOOD FROM?
WHO'S YOUR FATHER?
I, UH...
LOOK. THIS REALLY
DOESN'T MATTER, DOES IT?
GRANDMA'S VERY,
VERY TRADITIONAL.
I DON'T THINK
SHE'LL UNDERSTAND.
I'M TRADITIONAL TOO.
BRING HER OUT.
SHE CAN EXPLAIN
SHAPE-SHIFTING.
I'LL EXPLAIN
THE AIRPLANE.
YOU'RE FROM
THE RESERVATION...
YOU ASSHOLE.
I'M FROM MINNEAPOLIS.
I SPENT FOUR
YEARS AT DARTMOUTH
BEFORE I CAME BACK.
I KNOW MY RIGHTS
AND I KNOW YOUR WORLD.
GRANDMA'S NOT COMING OUT
UNLESS YOU'VE GOT A WARRANT
AND YOU'RE TRESPASSING,
SO HIT THE ROAD, CHIEF.
( hawk screeches )
Ray:
"S.A. COUTELLE
AND S.A. LEVOI
"APPREHENDED LOOKS TWICE
AT MILITANT RALLY
BUT WERE ATTACKED... "
Cooch:
AMBUSHED.
AMBUSHED. THAT'S GOOD.
"...AMBUSHED BY FIVE... "
MAYBE THREE?
THREE.
"...UNIDENTIFIED
INDIAN MALES.
S.A. COUTELLE WAS..."
STABBED.
"...STABBED IN THE ARM
"DURING THE AMBUSH.
"LOOKS TWICE
ASSAULTED S.A. LEVOI
"THEN TOOK UNLAWFUL FLIGHT
TO AVOID PROSECUTION.
S.A. COUTELLE ISSUED
AN ALL-POINTS BULLETIN."
I WANT TO NAIL
THIS SON OF A BITCH
BEFORE THAT 302
REACHES DAWES.
OUR THREE DAYS
AREN'T UP YET.
DID YOU GET
ANYTHING OUT THERE?
Bartender:
LISTEN, I THINK IT'S TIME
YOU GOT HOME.
Customer:
I WANT ONE MORE DRINK.
.223 M-16.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
PROPERTY
OF MAGGIE EAGLE BEAR'S.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE...
Bartender:
GET OUT OF HERE!
LET'S GO!
YEAH, AND..?
THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE THERE
TO INDICATE
THAT'S THE MURDER SITE.
THIS LOOKS TWICE FELLOW
IS VERY SLOPPY.
HOW DID YOU GET THIS?
FRATERNIZING.
WHO?
THE INDIAN COP, CROW HORSE.
YOU'RE BARKING UP
THE WRONG TREE, RAY.
HE PLAYS WITH F.B.I. HEADS.
THAT'S HIS M.O.
HE'S GOT NO JURISDICTION.
CRYSTAL CLEAR,
BUT IT HAPPENED THERE.
THE D.B. WAS TRANSPORTED
IN HIS OWN VEHICLE,
A '60 CHEVY.
IF WE FIND THAT VEHICLE,
WE'LL HAVE
THE EVIDENCE WE NEED.
WAS ANYBODY AT HER CAMP?
SHE WAS. SIX KIDS.
TWO OF THEM ARE HERS.
UH, THANK YOU.
AN OLD LADY
SHE CALLED GRANDMA
AND AN ARM MEMBER,
RICHARD, LAST NAME UNKNOWN.
WHEELCHAIR?
MM-HMM.
YEAH. RICHARD YELLOW HAWK.
YELLOW HAWK.
( pencil scratching )
LET'S HEAR THE TAPE ON MAGGIE.
I DIDN'T GET TAPE.
WE'RE TRYING
TO BUILD A CASE.
GET TAPE, ALL RIGHT?
IF WE DON'T NAIL THIS
IN 24 HOURS
IT'S NO LONGER
AN IN-AND-OUT.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE EATING
FRIED BREAD AND DOG SOUP
FOR MANY MOONS, RAY.
NOW GET THE FUCK OUT THERE AND
GET THE TRADITIONALS TALKING.
THEY'RE HIDING HIM.
HOW ABOUT A REAL JOB?
NOBODY'S GOING TO TALK TO ME.
( glass breaking )
GODDAMNED PRAIRIE NIGGERS!
WHAT'S ALL
THE SHOOTING ABOUT?
LOOK, SOMEBODY'S
TRYING TO TELL US
IT'S CHECKOUT TIME.
( siren wailing )
YOU GOT TO BE
KIDDING ME.
LICENSE AND REGISTRATION,
PLEASE, SIR.
KISS MY ASS.
HEY, THIS IS MY JURISDICTION,
AND YOU WERE DOING 59 IN A 55.
LET ME SEE THE RADAR.
I DON'T NEED NO RADAR.
I CAN TELL.
YOU'RE SO FULL OF SHIT.
NO. I LISTENED TO THE WIND
WHEN YOU WENT BY.
IT SAID, "59. NAIL HIM...
BEFORE THE TRADITIONALS DO."
YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE JUST
THE SECOND COMING
OF THE SAME OLD CAVALRY.
THEY DON'T WANT YOU HERE.
AIN'T NOBODY
GOING TO TALK TO YOU.
FINE.
EXCEPT FOR
THE WICA'SA WAKAN
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.
THE WHO?
THE MAN WHO SENT ME
TO FIND YOU.
SAYS HE HAS
SOME INFORMATION
FOR THE F.B.I.
WELL, WHERE IS HE?
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN MAIL
THAT PUPPY IN
OR YOU CAN APPEAR
AT TRIBAL COURT
IF YOU WISH
TO CONTEST IT.
FOLLOW ME.
GRANDPA SAMUEL REACHES.
HEAVY-DUTY MEDICINE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
MEDICINE?
LIKE A MEDICINE MAN?
YEAH.
DID YOU BRING
SOME TOBACCO?
WHAT?
WHEN YOU GO AND VISIT
AN ELDER
YOU ALWAYS BRING
SOME TOBACCO
AS A GIFT.
I KNEW THAT.
YEAH, RIGHT.
Come on, Waldo.
Get onto your skis.
( Reaches speaking Lakota )
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE, UH...
HE WANTS TO KNOW
IF YOU EVER WATCH MR. MAGOO.
HE SAYS
HE'S NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
HE'S CRAZY.
( speaking Lakota )
HE SAYS MAGOO NEEDS TO GO UP
ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND GET HIMSELF FOCUSED.
UH...
GRANDPA LIKES TO TRADE.
HMM?
NOBODY STOPS BY HERE
WITHOUT GETTING STUCK
IN THE OLD INDIAN BARTER.
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
HE LIKES
YOUR EYEGLASSES.
AHEM.
( Crow Horse laughing )
HE SAYS YOU STOPPED THE INIPI
TWO DAYS AGO.
HE'S NOT UNHAPPY WITH YOU,
BECAUSE HE SAYS HE KNOWS YOU.
HE KNOWS ME?
HE SAYS HE SAW YOU
IN A VISION SOME TIME BACK.
( speaking Lakota )
HE SAYS YOU COME
FROM A WASI'CU
CITY IN THE EAST
BUT YOUR PEOPLE, WAY BACK,
ARE THE MINNICONJOU SIOUX.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT
BECAUSE YOU'RE AS FAR
FROM YOURSELF
AS A HAWK
FROM THE MOON.
HE WAS TOLD YOU WERE COMING.
WHO TOLD HIM?
SPIRITS.
IT'S THEIR WILL
THAT YOU COME HERE.
SO WE WILL SMOKE THE PIPE
AND THERE WILL BE
NO LIES BETWEEN US.
DON'T WORRY, RAY.
IT AIN'T NO
MEXICAN AGRICULTURE.
TOBACCO OFFERING.
THE SMOKE WILL CARRY
YOUR PRAYERS UP.
IF YOU DON'T SMOKE
HE'LL THINK
YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING.
( speaking Lakota )
VERY SACRED, HE SAYS.
500 YEARS 0LD
TURTLE SHELL RATTLE.
HANDED DOWN FROM
FOUR GRANDFATHERS.
POWERFUL.
I SEE A MAN--
HALF INDIAN.
HE'S IN DIRTY CLOTHES,
BAD TEETH
STANDING NEAR
A MISSION...
NO, A SCHOOL.
HE'S WAITING
FOR SOMEBODY.
A BOY
LEAVES THE SCHOOL.
OTHER WASI'CUS BOYS PLAYING
LIKE BOYS DO.
THE BOY SEES
THE INDIAN MAN WAITING
BUT THE OTHER BOYS
ARE LAUGHING
AND MAKING NAMES
AT THE INDIAN MAN
AND HIS BOY PRETENDS
HIS EYES DO NOT SEE HIM
AND HE RUNS PAST HIM.
THE INDIAN MAN STANDS ALONE...
SAD.
THIS INDIAN MAN
WITH DIRTY CLOTHES
AND BAD TEETH
IS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
HE'S ON A FLOOR.
YEAH, ON A FLOOR.
( gasping )
HE CAN'T BREATHE.
HE CANNOT... BREATHE.
DOES HE HAVE ANY
IN...
IN... INFORMATION OR NOT?
HE GAVE IT TO YOU.
ASK HIM, UH, IF HE KNOWS
ANYTHING ABOUT THE MURDER.
WELL?
HE SAID,
"I DON'T KNOW."
HE WAS RECITING
THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
IN THERE.
NOW WHAT
WAS HE SAYING?
( sighing )
THE OLD MAN SAW
AN OWL LAST WEEK.
SO WHAT?
THE OWL IS A MESSENGER.
IT MEANS
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO DIE.
THE OWL TOLD HIM
ABOUT LEO.
THE OWL TOLD HIM
ABOUT LEO.
HE ALSO SAID,
"LISTEN TO THE WATER."
LISTEN TO THE WATER.
LISTEN TO THE OWL.
HE ALSO SAID,
"DON'T TRUST MR. MAGOO."
HE SAID YOU'RE CHASING
THE WRONG MAN.
JIMMY DIDN'T DO IT.
HE SAID
WE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS.
FOLLOW THIS.
THE BEST PART OF HIS LIFE
A MEDICINE MAN
COMMUNING WITH THE EARTH.
HE CAN READ YOU
LIKE LAST MONTH'S
SEARS CATALOG, KOLA.
( Reaches laughing )
HELLO.
HELLO.
OH, HELLO.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
( speaking Lakota )
GRANDPA REACHES SAYS YOU COME
FROM HEAVY INDIAN BLOOD.
YOU TRYING TO MANIPULATE
AN OLD MAN NOW?
IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THESE ARE FOR YOU.
GRANDMA WANTS TO KNOW
IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME IN
FOR A CUP OF WAKALAPI.
LOVE ONE.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF TROUBLE AROUND HERE.
YES. I HEAR THE GUNSHOT.
WHEN?
EVERY NIGHT.
I JUST SIT
IN MY CHAIR AND PRAY
TUNKASILA WILL HELP US.
BUT IT'S THE WATER,
THE CHILDREN GETTING SICK.
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WATER?
IT'S CONTAMINATED.
RANCHERS ARE FINDING
STILLBORN CALVES
ALL OVER THE RES.
GRANDMA, DO YOU REMEMBER
THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW LEO FAST ELK?
I'VE GOT SOMETHING.
( speaking Lakota )
WHY DON'T YOU
LEAVE HER ALONE?
SHE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
A MAN WAS MURDERED HERE.
IT'S MY JOB.
ALL RIGHT.
DO YOUR JOB.
61 TRADITIONALS
AND ARM SUPPORTERS
WHO WERE MURDERED
AND NEVER INVESTIGATED.
OH, YOU DON'T WANT
THIS ONE.
THIS IS A SUICIDE.
SOMEHOW HE SHOT HIMSELF
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
I'LL LOOK INTO IT, MAGGIE.
WHY DON'T YOU ALSO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENS TO TRIBAL FUNDS
THAT DON'T GET
PAST JACK MILTON.
STOP PRETENDING THAT
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
YOU'RE TRYING TO USE
YOUR HONORS DEGREE
IN EDUCATION FROM DARTMOUTH
TO HELP YOUR PEOPLE.
YOU ORGANIZED
THE LOCAL CONTROL OF SCHOOLS.
THEN YOU CO-FOUNDED THE OGLALA
BATTERED WOMEN'S SHELTER
A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AFTER YOU WERE RAPED.
YOU'RE CONSIDERED
ONE OF THE MOST
EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES
OF ARM WITH THE MEDIA
EVEN THOUGH YOU CONSISTENTLY
VOTE AGAINST VIOLENT ACTION.
THAT MUST BE HARD.
YOU DO A LOT
OF GOOD WORK, MAGGIE.
YOU'RE VERY BRAVE.
YOU WANT TO KEEP DOING IT?
( speaking Lakota )
SHE SAYS SHE
MADE THAT FOR YOU.
SHE SAID GRANDPA REACHES
TOLD HER YOU COME FROM...
BRAVE PEOPLE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
Maggie:
GET OFF OF ME!
GET OFF!
GET DOWN! GET DOWN!
( girl screaming )
MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!
STAY DOWN!
Maggie:
GET DOWN!
( gunshot )
( screaming )
MOMMY!
OH, GOD!
HOBART! HOBART!
OH, MY GOD!
HE'S BEEN SHOT!
HE'S BEEN SHOT!
( yelling )
THEY SHOT HIM.
HELP ME.
THEY SHOT HIM.
LET ME TAKE HIM.
MY BABY.
TAKE HIS HEAD.
TAKE HIS HEAD.
WHERE'S THE HOSPITAL?
QUICK!
MAIN VILLAGE!
SHOOTING AT
EAGLE BEAR RESIDENCE
IN MATO SKA.
HE WON'T STOP BLEEDING!
HE WON'T STOP BLEEDING!
WRAP THAT AROUND HIM,
AND DON'T PUT IT ON TOO TIGHT.
I HAVE AN INJURED CHILD
EN ROUTE
TO THE RESERVATION
HEALTH CLINIC. OVER.
HE'S GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT.
STAY AWAKE WITH ME, NOW.
( horn honking )
MY SON'S BEEN SHOT!
WE NEED ANOTHER TABLE.
THERE IS NO OTHER TABLE.
WE NEED ANOTHER TABLE!
HOLD ON.
HOLD HIS HEAD.
HE'S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD.
COME ON.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HE'S NOT GOING
TO DIE.
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE'S BEEN SHOT.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
HOBART.
( laughing )
WHOA!
YEAH!
WHOO!
BREATHE IN AND OUT
AS BIG AS YOU CAN.
HE'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
I GOT SOME COLD ONES
UP HERE IN FRONT.
I'LL TAKE ONE.
HERE YOU GO.
( gunshot )
( snapping )
( screaming )
( horn honking )
NO.
WERE YOU HIT?
ARE YOU OUT
OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?
I TOLD YOU
EAGLE BEAR WAS KEY.
NOW THE ARM PEOPLE THINK
SHE'S AN INFORMANT.
THAT WASN'T ARM.
YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR BOY
ON A LEASH!
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT NEEDS A FUCKING LEASH!
THESE GUYS ARE ON OUR TEAM.
YOU SET OFF A POWDER KEG.
I TOLD YOU
NOT TO GO THERE.
YOU GETTING HORNY
OR SOMETHING?
SHOOTING FOR RANK?
I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS
WHAT WENT ON
BETWEEN YOU AND DAWES
IN D.C.
THIS IS THE BATTLEFIELD,
AND THIS IS MY CASE.
( hooting and hollering )
GET IN THE FUCKING CAR.
Milton:
LET'S GET ON
OUT OF HERE.
WE JUST GOT THE LAB REPORT
ON THAT EAGLE
FEATHER YOU FOUND
IN THE TRAILER AT JIMMY'S.
IT'S A GENETIC DITTO
TO THE ONE FOUND
AT THE D.B. SITE.
STICK TO THE ASSIGNMENT, PAL.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
VERY GOOD.
WELL, LET'S JUST CATCH
THIS TONTO AND
GET OUT OF HERE.
YOU FILLED OUT A 302
THIS MORNING.
SUBJECT--
INDIAN MALE, ELDERLY.
SAMUEL REACHES.
HE AIN'T ELDERLY, COOCH.
PETRIFIED.
IT'S JUST BULLSHIT.
NOT EXACTLY.
THE OLD MAN'S
A SPIRITUAL LEADER OF ARM.
THEY ALL GO TO HIM
TO GET THEIR SEMIAUTOMATICS
BLESSED OR SOMETHING.
I WANT YOU TO CODE FIVE
AT HIS RESIDENCE.
LOOK, UM... COOCH...
HEY, LOOK, LET'S GET
BACK ON TRACK HERE.
THE HEAT'S COMING DOWN
ON JIMMY
AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
HE GOES TO GET HOLY.
NOW GET YOURSELF
A COLD SHOWER
AND GET ON OVER THERE.
( dog whining )
JAMES LOOKS TWICE...
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
SHAPE-SHIFT,
YOU CAN HAVE SOME MILK.
( whining )
JUST CHECKING.
( sighing )
OH...
OKAY.
THANKS.
HEY.
WHAT?
( motorcycle engine revving )
( whining )
NO, NO. COME ON.
GET OUT.
HANG ON, JIMMY.
( drums beating )
( chanting )
THAT'S A NICE
TRUCK, RAY.
WHERE DID YOU
STEAL IT?
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
WANT TO SEE THIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S A POWWOW.
BET THAT EAGLE FEATHER
YOU FOUND
GAVE YOU A LITTLE CHUB.
WE ALL HAVE FEATHERS
FROM THE SAME EAGLE.
WE SHARE
EVERYTHING ON THE RES.
THOSE ARE MY SUNGLASSES.
I TRADED GRANDPA.
I'LL TRADE WITH YOU.
( laughing )
THAT'S A ROCK.
YOU NUTS?
THESE ARE RAY-BANS.
JESUS.
YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING
ON JIMMY, DO YOU?
YOU'RE NO COP.
FLEEING JUSTICE,
ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
ASSAULT WITH INTENT
TO KILL IS NOTHING?
SEDITION?
THAT SCUM IS AN ENEMY
OF THE UNITED STATES.
YOU KNOW, RAY,
WHEN WE WERE KIDS
WE USED TO PLAY
COWBOYS AND INDIANS.
I WAS ALWAYS GARY COOPER.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE AN INDIAN.
THE GOVERNMENT BOARDING SCHOOL
MADE SURE OF THAT.
IT CUT OFF MY HAIR
WASHED MY MOUTH OUT
WITH SOAP
WHEN I SPOKE
MY OWN LANGUAGE.
MY OWN LANGUAGE, RAY.
WHEN THE ARM
WARRIORS CAME HERE
IT WAS LIKE AN AWAKENING.
IT GOT THE PEOPLE
PROUD OF THEIR HERITAGE
THEIR ELDERS, LANGUAGE.
AND YOU CALL THEM
ENEMIES.
TOUGH CALL
ALL THE WAY AROUND,
ISN'T IT, RAY?
YOU JUST KEEP DOING THAT.
TOMORROW MORNING
I'LL HAVE LEO'S MURDERER
IN THE BEAR CREEK
TRIBAL JAIL.
SCREW YOUR JURISDICTION.
LISTEN, IF YOU'RE
WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE
YOU'RE IN DEEP SHIT.
SO SUE ME.
( straining: )
OH, OH...
YOU'RE A BIG BOY.
NICE TO RUN INTO YOU,
WASHINGTON.
YEAH, YEAH,
THE WASHINGTON REDSKIN.
HOW ARE YOU?
MAN,
YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELF.
AROUND HERE, I'M THE F.B.I.--
FULL-BLOODED INDIAN.
Crow Horse:
GRANDPA.
HE WANTS TO TRADE.
HE LIKES YOUR WATCH.
OH, NO,
IMPOSSIBLE.
THIS, UH...
MY GRANDMOTHER
GAVE IT TO ME
WHEN SHE WAS DYING.
EXPLAIN THAT.
( speaking Lakota )
IT'S A ROLEX.
NO WAY.
HE SAYS YOU NEED
TO GO ON INDIAN TIME.
WHITE MAN TIME
WILL GIVE YOU STOMACH CANCER.
NO DEAL.
Ray:
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU'RE AFTER
BUT I'M NOT LOOKING
FOR A WHITE GUY.
GOOD. NEITHER AM I.
IT'S AN OLD LAKOTA BELIEF
THAT IF YOU TURN
A DEAD MAN FACEDOWN
HIS SPIRIT
WON'T COME BACK.
THAT'S A SIOUX THING
A WHITE MAN WOULDN'T KNOW.
IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
YOU BETTER TELL ME.
I CAN HELP YOU.
TELL ME
WHAT YOU KNOW.
I WON'T KNOW ANYTHING
TILL TONIGHT.
THEY'RE COMING
TO GRANDPA'S.
WHO'S THEY?
WHO?
THEY ARE.
YOU CAN EITHER
COME TO GRANDPA'S
AND FIND OUT
FOR YOURSELF, OR...
YOU CAN GO
AND CHASE JIMMY.
( speaking Lakota )
Crow Horse:
HE SAYS BACK BEHIND
RED DEER TABLE
THERE ARE STRANGE BEINGS
FROM ANOTHER WORLD
WHO EAT STONES AND DIRT
AND WHO WILL KILL ANYONE
WHO CROSSES INTO THIS PLACE.
THIS IS WHAT
THE SPIRITS SAY.
HE SAYS THEY SAW YOU
GOING BACK INTO THE LAND
BEYOND RED DEER TABLE.
I WAS WITH YOU.
BUT THAT'S ALL THEY TELL
SO HE DOESN'T KNOW
IF YOU WERE KILLED OR NOT.
HE THINKS
YOU PROBABLY WERE
BUT IT WAS A GOOD DAY
TO DIE.
GO TO RED DEER TABLE.
GO TO THE LAND
WHERE THE ELK PEOPLE
USED TO LIVE
BUT YOU MUST GO AS TWO.
THIS IS THE VISION I RECEIVED.
I HAVE SPOKEN,
AND IT IS SO.
Woman:
RAYMOND?
RAYMOND?
GET AWAY FROM HIM, RAYMOND.
COME HERE TO ME.
HE'S DRUNK.
GET AWAY FROM HIM.
LET GO OF HIM!
COME ON. COME HERE.
LET GO!
( breathing hard )
WHOA, WHOA! EASY, HOSS.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
RED DEER TABLE, RAY,
WE HAVE TO GO TOGETHER.
YOU CAN'T MESS
WITH THE VISIONS!
SOMEONE WAS SUPPOSED
TO TALK.
THEY DID.
BULLSHIT.
YOU'RE BULLSHIT.
IT'S OKAY.
I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED.
OKAY? JUST DON'T BE SCARED.
YOU'RE FIGHTING IT.
JUST DON'T FIGHT IT.
OKAY?
OKAY, RAYMOND?
GET OUT OF MY FACE.
Grandpa:
KNOCK IT OFF!
KNOCK IT OFF!
YOU REMIND ME
OF A COUPLE OF OLD WOMEN.
HE SPEAKS ENGLISH.
YEAH.
ONLY WHEN HE'S REALLY
PISSED OFF.
( Grandpa chuckling )
COME ON UP AND WATCH TV.
( both laughing )
JESUS, YOU GAVE ME
A SCARE.
YOU OKAY?
Man: WE GOT ONE.
SADDLE UP.
STOP THE TRUCK!
HOLD IT
RIGHT THERE!
STOP IT!
( guns cocking )
DON'T MOVE.
F.B.I.
GET HIM OUT
OF THERE.
GET OUT.
F.B.I.
SORRY.
FED. LET HIM THROUGH.
( music drifting out )
( people talking )
Cooch:
YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
PRETTY SOON, I THINK.
YEAH, ME TOO.
HOW DID IT GO AT REACHES'?
NOTHING.
WHAT? I'M LOSING YOU.
TALK LOUDER.
ARE YOU LOCKING
THE GARAGE DOOR AT NIGHT?
SOMETHING HAPPEN?
FIELD SUPPORT FROM RAPID.
WE'RE SETTING UP A NET.
NO, NOT THE MUD ROOM DOOR.
NO, THE OVERHEAD.
YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S EASIER FOR SOMEONE
TO BREAK IN WITH A REMOTE.
WE BLEW OUR THREE-DAY, RAY.
YEAH, LOOK...
OKAY, HONEY,
I GOT TO RUN.
OKAY.
YEAH, REAL SOON.
ME TOO.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
WELL, I HAD HIM, RAY.
I HAD HIS ASS
AT A TRADITIONAL'S PLACE
IN RED CROW
BUT HE JUST SLIPPED OUT
BEFORE I COULD MOVE IN.
SO HE LEFT THAT.
THAT'S THE ANIMAL.
PIN TEST?
YEAH, YOU BET.
THE WHOLE WORKS.
WE'RE SENDING IT OFF
TO RAPID IN A MINUTE.
WE GOT SOMETHING HARD
ON HIM NOW--
CONCLUSIVE.
FANTASTIC.
YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
YOUR NAME'S ON THE 302.
HEY, BRIAN?
YEAH?
GET THAT TO D.C.
Man #1:
WHO'S UP IN
BELLE FOURCHE?
Man #2:
I THINK JACKSON'S
UP THERE.
Man #1:
GET HIM ON THE HORN.
YOU OKAY?
SURE.
YOU DON'T LOOK SO HOT.
COME ON.
LET'S GO GET SOME AIR.
Cooch:
YOU WANT A SODA?
YOU GOT A DOG
IN YOUR TRUCK.
THAT'S JIMMY.
I FED IT.
CAN'T GET
RID OF IT.
LOOK LIKE YOU'VE SEEN
A FUCKING GHOST, RAY.
SEEING THINGS
OUT HERE, COOCH.
THIS PLACE WILL
DO THAT TO YOU.
I, UH...
HAVE YOU..?
I PASSED A ROADBLOCK
ON THE WAY IN HERE.
GOONS WERE ARMED
LIKE THE FUCKING MARINES.
FUGITIVE ALERT.
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?
I MEAN, UH...
WE'RE HERE TO DO
A MOP-UP, RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH.
WE'RE MOPPING UP
A HOMICIDE, OKAY?
THESE PEOPLE CAN'T SEEM
TO TAKE CARE
OF THEIR OWN MESSES, RAY.
INTERNAL CIVIL CONFLICT.
THEY'VE BEEN
AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS
FOR OVER 100 YEARS.
WE CAN'T GET
SUCKERED INTO THAT.
WE'RE HERE TO TAKE OUR MAN
AND GO HOME. ALL RIGHT?
THIS MILTON,
DOES HE CHECK OUT?
WELL, A SITUATION LIKE THIS
IT'S HARD TO
TELL THE GOOD GUYS
FROM THE BAD GUYS.
THEY'RE ALL INDIANS.
IT'S A MESS.
I'VE BEEN STUDYING THIS FIELD
FOR NINE YEARS, RAY.
I KNOW MORE ABOUT THE LAW
AND THE HISTORY OUT HERE
THAN THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I FEEL FOR THEM,
I REALLY DO.
THEY'RE A PROUD PEOPLE
BUT THEY'RE ALSO
A CONQUERED PEOPLE.
THAT MEANS
THEIR FUTURE IS DICTATED
BY THE NATION
THAT CONQUERED THEM.
NOW, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY
THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.
I'VE SEEN SOME
FIELD AGENTS
BREAK THE RULES OUT HERE.
I'VE SEEN EXCESS AND ERROR.
BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN
TWO AGENTS, FAMILY MEN
LAYING BELLY-DOWN IN THE GRASS
WITH THEIR HEADS BLOWN OFF
AND THEY WERE JUST
DOING THEIR JOB, RAY.
IDEALISTIC AGENTS,
LIKE ALL THE REST OF US.
PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY
OF THE AMERICAN DREAM.
LOOKS TWICE IS AN ENEMY
OF THE UNITED STATES, RAY.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.
NOW GET IN THE CHUTE,
PUT YOUR VEST ON
AND LET'S GET READY
TO TAKE HIM.
YOU OKAY ABOUT THIS?
SURE.
PUT YOUR GAME FACE ON
AND GET OUT THERE
TO THE OLD MAN'S.
( singing in Lakota )
( gasping )
4:16 A.M.,
SAM REACHES' RESIDENCE.
SUBJECT IS...
...SINGING.
OUTSTANDING.
( humming )
( whining )
OH, CHRIST.
( gunfire )
SHOOTING AT SAM REACHES'
RESIDENCE. OVER.
SHOT CAME FROM OVER HERE.
I WANT TO TAKE
THIS PLACE APART!
GOT A BUNKER OVER HERE.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
I WANT CASINGS.
CASINGS.
FIND ME SOME CASINGS!
GOT SOMETHING
OVER HERE!
IF YOU'RE GOING
TO BE A TEAM PLAYER
GIVE ME
THOSE REPORTS...
I HEARD YOU
THE FIRST TIME!
LOOKS LIKE JIMMY'S PLAYING
CRAZY HORSE WITH US AGAIN.
LATER.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, CHIEF.
NO.
I DON'T CARE!
IF IT'S BREATHING, PICK IT UP!
NO.
JUST GO INSIDE.
WHY DID YOU
TEAR IT DOWN?
OKAY?
FEDERAL ISSUE.
NO, NO, NO.
HARD EVIDENCE,
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.
WHAT DID
THE OLD MAN WANT?
OH, JUST SOME MONEY.
COME ON.
LET'S TAKE A RIDE.
YOU KNOW, IF EITHER ONE
OF US GETS HIT, RAY
IT WILL BE ALL SHE WROTE.
WE'LL HAVE A FULL-SCALE
WAR ON OUR HANDS.
OH, SHIT.
CHIEF PAIN IN THE ASS.
HEY, I DON'T MEAN
TO STEP ALL OVER
YOUR JURISDICTION
BUT CAN I BORROW YOUR RADIO
TO REPORT A FOUND VEHICLE--
A 19 AND 60 CHEVROLET,
BLUE AND WHITE
REGISTERED
TO ONE LEO FAST ELK...
DECEASED.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
Crow Horse:
YEAH, HOW ABOUT THAT?
HUBCAP!
WE'LL SEE IF IT
MATCHES ANYTHING.
OKAY.
OH, A FUCKING HUBCAP.
Mackey: DEFINITELY
A CITY INDIAN, COOCH.
RESERVATION INDIAN
WOULD HAVE TAKEN DROUGHT
INTO CONSIDERATION.
THAT'S ABOUT PAR
FOR THE COURSE.
YEAH. BRILLIANT.
HOW ARE YOU
MAKING OUT?
Agent:
GOT A FEW PARTIALS.
COOCH, THE KILLER LOOKS
LIKE A REAL BIG GUY.
HEY, KEN, BAG IT.
I'LL DO IT.
IS THAT A WARRANT
FOR GRANDMA?
SHE'S GONE.
I SENT HER AWAY
WITH THE CHILDREN
WHERE THEY'LL BE SAFE.
GOOD.
HOW'S YOUR SON?
HE'S HEALING.
THANKS FOR ASKING.
AND THANKS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
TAKING SAMPLES FOR TESTING.
MORE PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN GETTING SICK.
I'M SORRY I GOT
YOUR FAMILY INVOLVED IN THIS.
RAY, MY FAMILY'S
BEEN INVOLVED
SINCE COLUMBUS LANDED.
LISTEN, MY PARTNER IS CREATING
AN AIRTIGHT CASE.
JIMMY HAS NO CHANCE,
EXCEPT FOR THIS EVIDENCE.
NOW, IF THIS WERE
TO FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS
I THINK IT MIGHT
DESTROY THIS CASE.
CROW HORSE TOLD ME
THAT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO
YOU HELD A RAFFLE
AT A BENEFIT CONCERT.
DID YOU KEEP ANY RECORDS?
I CAN'T DO THAT, RAY.
THIS EVIDENCE IS
THE ONLY POWER WE HAVE
TO BUILD A CASE.
THAT'S NOT POWER, RAY.
THAT'S PAPER.
OH, CHRIST.
RAY!
POWER IS A RAINSTORM.
POWER IS THAT RIVER
RIGHT THERE
AND THAT'S WHAT
I HAVE TO PROTECT--
NOT THE WHITE LAW.
IF JIMMY GOES TO PRISON
FOR BEING A WARRIOR
THAT IS SOMETHING
HE ACCEPTS.
THAT'S HIS WAY.
THAT'S OUR WAY.
IT'S THE INDIAN WAY
TO LET JIMMY GO DOWN.
YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE NOT INDIAN.
MY FATHER WAS AN INDIAN.
YOU NEVER KNEW HIM.
I KNEW MY FATHER.
HE WAS CRAZY.
HE BUILT BRIDGES
AND SKYSCRAPERS
WITHOUT A SAFETY HARNESS
IN HIS BARE FEET.
I KNEW MY FATHER,
MAGGIE.
I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID HE'D FALL
AND THAT HE'D SAY,
"DON'T WORRY, WASHI.
I CAN FLY."
THAT'S WHAT
HE'D CALL ME.
HE CALLED ME WASHI,
BUT HE COULDN'T FLY, MAGGIE.
HE TRIED, BUT...
HE DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH...
IN FRONT OF ME AND MY MOTHER.
I WAS ASHAMED OF HIM.
SO I BURIED HIM
TILL MY OWN PEOPLE
DUG HIM BACK UP.
MY OWN PEOPLE.
WHAT?
WASHI.
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS?
HE SAID IT MEANT "GOOD BOY."
IT'S THE LARD
WE PUT IN STEW.
GREAT.
I THINK HE WAS CALLING YOU
A CHUBBY BOY.
WHOEVER BOUGHT THIS TICKET
KILLED LEO FAST ELK.
I GOT TO GO, RAY.
LISTEN, THERE'S
ROADBLOCKS EVERYWHERE.
IT'S NOT SAFE.
I'LL BE OKAY, RAY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
TO THE SOURCE.
THE SOURCE?
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO DO THE SAME...
WASHI.
( laughing )
( chanting )
( screaming )
( engine starting )
HELLO.
( speaking Lakota )
GRANDPA,
SPEAK ENGLISH, PLEASE?
LISTEN, I NEED TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME.
I...
WHAT... YOU GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
Looks Twice:
I BELONG HERE.
WHY AREN'T YOU
AT RED DEER TABLE?
WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL
ABOUT THAT PLACE?
CAN'T I GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER?
FAST ELK FOUND OUT ITS POWER,
SO THEY KILLED HIM.
WELL, THEY'LL KILL YOU
IF YOU STAY HERE.
SOMETIMES THEY
HAVE TO KILL US.
THEY HAVE TO KILL US
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
BREAK OUR SPIRIT.
LOOK
I DON'T HAVE
TO DO THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY CHOICE.
I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU.
WHY WON'T YOU ACCEPT THAT?
IT'S IN OUR DNA.
YOU HAVE TO DO
WHAT OLD MAN SAYS.
WHAT MAKES YOU
SUCH A THREAT?
WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT
TO BE WHO WE ARE.
WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE REALITY
OF FREEDOM
AND THE ILLUSION OF FREEDOM.
THERE'S A WAY
TO LIVE WITH EARTH
AND A WAY NOT TO LIVE
WITH EARTH.
WE CHOOSE THE WAY OF EARTH.
IT'S ABOUT POWER...
RAY.
( door banging )
Mackey:
F.B.I.!
GET THEM UP, JIMMY.
GET THEM UP!
GET THEM UP!
GET THEM UP, JIMMY.
GET THEM UP!
GET UP,
SON OF A BITCH.
Mackey:
ON YOUR FEET, GRANDPA.
YOU'RE IN LOTS OF TROUBLE.
LET'S GO.
UP, UP, COME ON.
TAKE IT EASY
CALM DOWN.
GET HIM IN THERE.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!
GET HIM IN THERE.
GET HIM
OUT HERE.
HE KNOWS NOTHING.
Mackey:
YOU BEEN TEACHING
THESE CRIMINALS
ABOUT THE GREAT
RED SPIRIT, SAM?
CHECK HIM FOR PEYOTE.
HE'S GOT A KNIFE!
HEY, WHAT IS THIS,
A MAGIC RATTLE?
YOU GOING TO DO
A RAIN DANCE--
END THIS DROUGHT?
HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.
LEAVE HIM ALONE!
HEY, HEY,
TAKE IT EASY!
HEY, TAKE IT EASY,
DAMN IT!
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,
WE GOT HIM, DIDN'T WE?
YOU GUYS JUST CALM DOWN
AND TAKE IT EASY, ALL RIGHT?
IT'S ALL OVER.
( speaking Lakota )
Cooch:
WELL, WE NAILED HIM, JACK.
I KNEW HE WOULD HAVE
TO COME BACK TO GRANDPA'S
SOONER OR LATER.
RAY MADE THE COLLAR.
WELL, THE ARM IS BUSTED.
MAYBE NOW WE'LL HAVE
A LITTLE PEACE HERE--
NO MORE AGITATORS
STIRRING UP TROUBLE.
GOOD, KOLA.
Cooch:
LET'S CLOSE THIS THING OUT.
DRINKS ARE ON ME
AT THE BUFFALO BUTTE.
WHOO!
WE'LL SEE YOU
OVER THERE, RAY.
MAKE A COLLECT CALL
TO DAWES--
TELL HIM HIS INDIAN
DID ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL BE OUT OF HERE
TOMORROW.
Milton:
YEAH, SEE YOU LATER.
LISTEN, UH...
I'M NOT WHO
YOU THINK I AM.
I'M SORRY.
UM, BACK THAT WAY
IS A PLACE CALLED
WOUNDED KNEE.
I WAS ONE YEAR OLD THERE
WHEN THEY CAME AND SHOT
OUR PEOPLE DOWN
BECAUSE THEY WERE
GHOST DANCING.
THEY BELIEVED
THIS DANCE
WILL STOP THE WHITE MAN
FROM COMING
AND BRING BACK THE BUFFALO.
THEY SHOT 300 OF US.
ONE OF THOSE KILLED
WAS A HOLY MAN
CALLED WAKIYAN CANTE--
THUNDERHEART.
HE WAS KILLED WHILE RUNNING
FOR THE STRONGHOLD.
IT IS HIS BLOOD--
THE SAME BLOOD
THAT WAS SPILLED
IN THE GRASS AND SNOW
AT WOUNDED KNEE--
RUNS THROUGH YOUR HEART
LIKE A BUFFALO.
THUNDERHEART
HAS COME--
SENT HERE TO A TROUBLED PLACE
TO HELP HIS PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHAT
I'M TOLD.
( chanting )
( chanting )
( chanting )
( engine starting )
RUN.
RUN FOR THE STRONGHOLD,
THUNDERHEART.
RUN.
THE SOLDIERS ARE COMING.
THEY BROKE MY TV.
( door closing )
YELLOW HAWK.
( thumping )
( thumping )
( screeching )
( knocking )
OH. THE WASHINGTON REDSKIN.
THOUGHT YOU'D
BE GONE BY NOW.
I'D LIKE TO BE, RICHARD.
I'D LIKE TO BE.
BUT, UH...
YOU'RE IN A LOT
OF TROUBLE, RICHARD.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
THAT MUST BE A BITCH.
HOW LONG
YOU BEEN IN IT?
SINCE I GOT AN IRON PIPE
PUT ACROSS MY KNEES, MAN.
FIGHT WITH THREE WASI'CUS,
YOU KNOW?
YEAH, THAT WAS
AT SIOUX FALLS PEN, WASN'T IT?
THAT WAS LEAVENWORTH.
THIS IS SIOUX FALLS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
LEAVENWORTH IS A TOUGH JOINT,
ISN'T IT?
EVER TRY ISOLATION UNIT?
NO, I DON'T THINK
I HAVE, RICHARD.
YOU KNOW WHY
I'M HERE, RICHARD?
D.C. SENT YOU.
I KNOW THAT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
D.C. SENT ME, RICHARD.
D.C. SENT ME CAUSE THIS
WHOLE THING'S BEEN FUCKED.
YOU KNOW WHAT
I MEAN, RICHARD?
AN ARRANGEMENT WAS MADE
BETWEEN YOU AND US.
YOU, UH...
REMEMBER THAT ARRANGEMENT,
DON'T YOU, RICHARD?
I'M HERE, AIN'T I?
NO. YOU'RE GONE, RICHARD.
YOU RECEIVED EARLY PAROLE
CONTINGENT ON NOT VIOLATING
PAROLE CONDITIONS.
RIGHT. I DIDN'T
VIOLATE PAROLE.
WE'LL GO OUT THE BACK DOOR
REAL SLOW.
GET OUT OF THE CHAIR.
WHAT IS IT
WITH YOU PEOPLE?
I'M THROWN INTO ISOLATION
UNTIL I DON'T KNOW
MY OWN FUCKING NAME.
GET UP.
THEN YOU TELL ME
I CAN BEAT 20 YEARS
IF I HELPED YOU.
WELL, I HELPED YOU.
THE ARM'S IS GONE, MAN.
GET UP!
THEY SAID
I'D NEVER SEE F.B.I. AGAIN.
AND I'M LIVING
WITH YOU FUCKING SCUM.
WHAT IS IT
YOU WANT NOW?
I DON'T FEED YOU
INFORMATION ON THE ARM
OR IF I DON'T GET THE BOYS
TO MAKE TROUBLE
IT'S BACK TO THE PEN.
IT'S YOUR WORD
AGAINST MY WORD,
A CON INDIAN'S WORD.
YOU VIOLATED PAROLE, RICHARD.
WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?
I DID WHAT YOU
WASI'CUS TOLD ME TO DO.
YOU BLEW IT, RICHARD.
YEAH, I BLEW HIS BACK OUT
WITH YOUR FUCKING HARDWARE.
I'M NOT GOING BACK, MAN.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK.
THE MEN THAT APPROACHED YOU
AT LEAVENWORTH
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?
MAYBE I CAN DO A DEAL.
I DON'T KNOW.
SUITS. THREE SUITS.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW THEM AS.
TALK TO FRANK.
HE'S THE ONE THAT SET IT UP.
RIGHT. FRANK...
FRANK COUTELLE WAS THERE.
YEAH, FRANK COUTELLE
WAS THERE.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT.
YOU'RE NOT F.B.I.
I WANT TO SEE FRANK.
YOU'RE NOT
A FUCKING LAW, MAN.
I'M THE FUCKING LAW.
OKAY.
OKAY.
STAY HERE.
Crow Horse:
JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD
A FEW MORE MILES.
AND YOU THOUGHT HE WAS
SOME CRAZY OLD COOT
TALKING MYTHS AND BULLSHIT.
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, HOSS.
HIS VISIONS ARE STRONG.
DO THEY COME IN DREAMS,
THESE... VISIONS?
YEAH, DREAMS.
SOMETIMES DURING SICKNESS.
SWEAT LODGE, VISION QUEST.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN.
( clearing throat )
JUST BEFORE...
THEY CAUGHT JIMMY
I HAD A DREAM.
I WAS BEING RUN DOWN.
I WAS RUNNING WITH...
OTHER INDIANS.
I WAS SHOT IN THE BACK.
THEN...
LAST NIGHT
I DROVE PAST IT.
THE PLACE IT HAPPENED.
I SAW IT.
SAW WHAT?
WOUNDED KNEE MEMORIAL.
YOU WERE RUNNING
WITH THE OLD ONES?
AT THE KNEE?
IT WAS JUST A DREAM.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, MAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU HAD YOURSELF A VISION.
A MAN WAITS A LONG TIME
TO HAVE A VISION.
MIGHT GO HIS WHOLE LIFETIME
AND NEVER HAVE ONE.
AND ALONG COMES
SOME INSTANT INDIAN
WITH A FUCKING ROLEX
AND A BRAND-NEW
PAIR OF SHOES--
GODDAMN F.B.I.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF--
HAS HIS SELF A VISION.
SORRY.
AH, MAYBE IT WAS JUST
ONE OF THEM--
WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM?--
FITFUL DREAMS.
YEAH.
FITFUL DREAMS.
FITFUL DREAMS, HORSESHIT.
YOU HAD YOURSELF A VISION.
WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
OH, STOP.
THERE IT IS, MAN.
RED DEER TABLE.
( splashing )
JESUS!
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
GODDAMN. TEST DRILLING
FOR URANIUM.
LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S SEALANT.
OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VOTING
AGAINST THIS MINING THING
FOR YEARS.
NATIONAL SECURITY.
DOES MILTON OWN
THIS LAND?
HE'D LIKE TO.
HE JUST GETS KICKBACKS
OFF THE DAMN LEASES.
HOW COULD NO ONE KNOW?
BECAUSE YOUR GOVERNMENT
PUSHED OUR PEOPLE
OFF THIS LAND YEARS AGO, RAY.
AND MILTON AND HIS GOONS
ARE MAKING SURE
THAT WE DON'T COME BACK.
SO LEO FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
AND DIDN'T LIKE IT
AND WENT TO MAGGIE.
SO THEY ZAPPED HIM
AND PINNED IT ON JIMMY
TO DESTROY ARM.
YEAH.
THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO'D DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
AND YOUR PEOPLE
SUPPLIED MILTON
AND HIS GOONS.
THEY'RE NOT MY PEOPLE.
GODDAMN IT, RAY.
THE SOURCE.
THE LITTLE WALKING
STARTS HERE.
THAT'S WHAT'S CONTAMINATED
THE WATER.
THEY GO AHEAD WITH THIS
STRIP-MINING THING
AND THIS RESERVATION'S
A DEAD ZONE.
WE GOT TO GET YOU
OFF THE RES.
WE GOT TO GET YELLOW HAWK
OFF THE RES.
( animals snarling )
( gun cocking )
( coyotes
barking and snarling )
MILTON'S BOYS
HAVE BEEN HERE.
WALTER.
OH, NO.
OH.
OH, NO.
AH...
SHIT.
RAY.
Cooch:
Hold your fire.
I want him alive.
( children screaming )
RAY.
YOU LISTENING TO ME?
THIS IS INSUBORDINATION,
AND IT'S FUTILE.
You're under duress.
I can understand that.
Just pull over
and we'll talk about it.
THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING.
JUST STOP THE CAR.
BETTER GET THE RAPID CITY
FEDERALS BACK OUT HERE.
MARSHALS.
WE DON'T WANT
A GODDAMNED MEDIA EVENT.
CONTAIN ALL RESERVATION EXITS.
IT'S UNDER CONTROL.
YELLOW HAWK IS GOING TO SING.
YELLOW HAWK COMMITTED SUICIDE
AT 3:06 THIS MORNING.
You hear me?
Stop the car, Ray.
Ray:
You blew it, Richard.
Yellow Hawk:
I blew him out
with your hardware.
I'm not going back, man.
The men
that approached you
at Leavenworth,
what are their names?
Maybe I can do a deal.
Suits. Three suits.
That's all
I know them as.
Talk to Frank.
He set it up.
Right, Frank.
Frank Coutelle was there.
Yeah, Frank Coutelle
was there.
( tape rewinding )
...Frank.
He set it up.
Right, Frank.
Frank Coutelle was there.
Yeah, Frank Coutelle
was there.
ALWAYS GET TAPE, FRANK.
THANKS.
PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON.
WHERE THE HELL...
LET'S GO.
HE'S GONE NATIVE ON US.
JESUS CHRIST.
IF HE GETS OFF THE RES,
WE'VE GOT COMPLICATIONS.
HE'S NOT GETTING OFF
THE RES.
THEY GOT US SEALED IN.
WHERE THE HELL
ARE YOU GOING?
STRONGHOLD.
WHAT?
WE'RE HEADING
FOR THE STRONGHOLD.
AW, SHIT.
WHERE THE HELL
IS HE GOING?
NOWHERE.
IT'S A WALL.
IS THAT IT?
YEAH, YEAH.
WHOA...
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
EASY, EASY!
AW, SHIT!
( coughing )
RAY!
LET'S TALK, RAY.
LET'S TALK
ABOUT RED DEER TABLE.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.
WHY DID WE KILL
LEO FAST ELK?
WHY MAGGIE'S
LYING UP THERE DEAD?
YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING
TO YOUR LAND?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO YOURSELF, RAY?
WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO YOU?
THEY'RE DRILLING URANIUM
UP THERE.
Cooch:
THAT'S RESTRICTED MATERIAL.
GIVE ME THE TAPE.
IT'S CONTAMINATED MATERIAL.
YOUR DEAL GOES THROUGH
WITH MILTON, YOU'RE ALL DEAD.
HE'S LYING!
IT'S IN THE RIVER.
HEY, LOOK.
WE CAME HERE TO APPREHEND
A MURDERER.
NOW IT'S ALL OVER.
YOU CAME HERE
TO BROKER A LAND DEAL
AND TO ELIMINATE
ANYONE WHO KNOWS.
EVEN THE SCHOOLTEACHER?
A SCHOOLTEACHER, FRANK?
( Ray panting )
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
YOU WANT AN ADVISORY POSITION,
GRADE TEN?
I CAN ARRANGE THAT
IN DENVER.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
PEOPLE KNOW.
YOU CAN'T KILL ALL OF US.
PEOPLE KNOW.
I CAN EITHER HELP YOU...
OR I CAN SEND YOU BACK
TO YOUR ANCESTORS.
WHICH WAY IS IT
GOING TO BE?
HUH?
COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
RAY!
( chanting )
( rifles cocking )
( drums beating )
( chanting )
THIS LAND
IS NOT FOR SALE.
SHE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN THERE.
SHE WAS, RAY.
SHE WAS THERE.
SO WHAT HAPPENS
TO COOCH NOW?
INTERNAL SECURITY
INVESTIGATION.
YOU MEAN WHITEWASH.
"DO NOT FILE."
BUT I'M GOING TO...
GET A HOLD OF MAGGIE'S
MEDIA CONTACTS.
WE'LL SEE WHAT KIND
OF A STORY WE CAN TELL.
YEAH.
SO NOW THAT YOU'RE
UNEMPLOYED, LITTLE WEASEL
WHERE ARE YOU
GOING TO GO?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THAT.
WHO'S THEY?
YOU KNOW.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE
ANOTHER VISION, DID YOU?
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
CROW HORSE.
IF YOU EVER, UH... NEED
A PLACE TO COME BACK TO...
YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO THE WIND.
WE'LL BE HERE.
LISTEN, UH...
THERE AIN'T NO WORD
IN SIOUX FOR "GOOD-BYE."
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF, RAY.

WWEN weather watch says

Continuing with talk radio,
this is Roger on the air.
Who's this nimble brain
talking to us?

And next Tuesday night is
Fan Appreciate Night at...

And now,
stay tuned for more...
The inbound commute

The reason...

Ya lo creo.
Yo lo vi...

( door opening )
LEVOI.
YOUR NAME POPPED UP
THIS MORNING, RAYMOND.
IMPRESSIVE BACKGROUND--
TWO YEARS STREET WORK
THREE YEARS UNDERGROUND.
YOU'VE DONE
SOME FINE DEEP COVER WORK.
THANK YOU, SIR.
HOW'S THE COLONEL?
MY FATHER IS FINE, SIR.
HE SENDS HIS REGARDS.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.
I WAS JUST LOOKING OVER
YOUR FAMILY TREE HERE.
IT'S QUITE A MIXTURE--
LITHUANIAN
SCOTCH-IRISH...
FRENCH...
AND AMERICAN INDIAN.
SIOUX INDIAN, IS IT?
I, UH, DON'T KNOW, SIR.
SIOUX.
YOUR REAL FATHER WAS HALF
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
I DIDN'T KNOW MY FATHER, SIR.
HE DIED WHEN I WAS A BABY.
HE DIED
WHEN YOU WERE SEVEN.
I'M PULLING YOU
OUT OF YOUR PROVINCE.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
TWO-MAN TEAM.
YOU'LL WORK UNDER COUTELLE.
ASAC, DENVER.
FRANK COUTELLE?
YOU KNOW COOCH?
NO, SIR, BUT I...
HIS CAREER IS... FANTASTIC.
HE'S A LEGEND.
LEGENDARY PAIN IN THE ASS.
NOW THERE'S AN OLD DOG
WHO DOESN'T LIKE NEW TRICKS...
OR NEW AGENTS ON HIS BLOCK.
BUT HE'S TOP-SHELF.
THANK YOU
FOR THE ASSIGNMENT, SIR.
WHERE IS HIS BLOCK?
THE BADLANDS.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
THERE'S BEEN A HOMICIDE
ON THE INDIAN LAND.
SEVERAL IN RECENT YEARS.
THERE'S A MILITANT GROUP
OPERATING ON THE RESERVATION.
CALL THEMSELVES "ARM"--
ABORIGINAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
EXTREMELY VIOLENT.
THEY SAY THEY'VE GONE THERE
TO DEFEND
TRADITIONAL NATIVES
AGAINST
PRO-GOVERNMENT NATIVES.
IT'S TURNED
INTO A CIVIL CONFLICT,
INDIAN AGAINST INDIAN.
PLACE IS A TINDERBOX.
NOW, THIS IS
A MURDER INVESTIGATION
BUT IT'S ALSO
ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE--
HELPING PEOPLE CAUGHT
IN THE ILLUSIONS OF THE PAST
COME TO TERMS
WITH THE REALITIES
OF THE PRESENT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
MY ASSIGNMENT, SIR.
WHAT...
WHAT'S MY COVER?
NO COVER.
YOU'RE GOING IN THERE
AS WHO YOU ARE--
AN AMERICAN INDIAN
FEDERAL OFFICER.
I HAPPEN TO BELIEVE
WITH A NATIVE AMERICAN
REPRESENTATIVE IN THERE
THAT WE CAN
DIFFUSE THE TENSION
AND IMPROVE RELATIONS.
AS LONG AS OUR P.R. OFFICER'S
DISSEMINATING INFORMATION
THAT WE'RE SENDING THE INDIANS
ONE OF THEIR OWN
NOBODY'S GOING TO ASK YOU
TO WEAVE ANY BASKETS
OR MAKE IT RAIN.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
I WANT IT
CLOSED IN THREE DAYS.
LEEVOY?
LEVOI?
HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
LEVOI.
LEVOI.
MR. COUTELLE.
COOCH.
ACTUALLY, WE MET BEFORE
IN '76 AT QUANTICO.
I HEARD YOUR SPEECH
ON THE HOBBS ACT--
LABOR RELATIONS.
LOOK, WE GOT 87 MILES
TO THE RES.
WE BETTER HIT IT.
HOW MANY FIELD AGENTS
DO WE HAVE OUT THERE?
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME
AND THE LONE PRAIRIE.
WHO FOUND THE D.B.?
NO NEED TO KNOW.
THE ABORIGINAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
SEEMS TO BE PRETTY ACTIVE.
LOOK, UH, LEVOI...
TURN YOUR HEAD
TO THE RIGHT
FOR A SECOND.
YOU KNOW,
IN THE RIGHT LIGHT
WITH YOUR HEAD TURNED
LIKE THAT
YOU KIND OF REMIND ME
OF SAL MINEO
IN ARROWS ON THE PRAIRIE.
OTHER THAN THAT
YOUR COMING HERE IS LIKE
PISSING IN THE WIND
SO DROP THE QUESTIONS.
STICK TO THE ASSIGNMENT,
OKAY?
WOULD YOU LIKE A SMOKE?
I DON'T SMOKE.
GOOD. THOSE THINGS
WILL KILL YOU.
Cooch:
LOOK AT THIS.
WE HAVE A THIRD WORLD
SLAPDAB IN THE MIDDLE
OF AMERICA.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, HUH?
USED TO BE ALL THEIRS
CLEAR ON UP INTO CANADA.
THIS IS WHAT
THEY GOT LEFT WITH.
JESUS.
Ray:
THEY JUST LEFT
THE BODY OUT HERE?
Cooch:
F.B.I. JURISDICTION.
THE BODY BELONGS TO US.
PHEW! RIPE ONE.
LEO FAST ELK.
NOT FAST ENOUGH,
I GUESS.
"RAISED ON THE RESERVATION."
KEY.
"37. SINGLE.
RESIDENT
OF COMMUNITY THREE HOUSING."
THAT'S PENNY-ANTE STUFF, SAL.
FIFTH MEMBER
OF THE TRIBAL COUNCIL.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE
OF THE DAMAGES?
AUTOMATIC.
M-1, M-16.
.223. HIGH VELOCITY.
SOFT TIP, MAYBE.
Cooch:
VERY CLINICAL.
NOT THAT FANCY.
IT'S A 30-30 LEVER ACTION.
NO FRILLS.
FIVE TIMES.
MAYBE FIVE FEET AWAY.
LET'S SPIRAL.
WE WANT CASINGS.
HERE YOU GO.
EAGLE FEATHER
INSIDE A CIRCLE.
THAT'S THE ARM SYMBOL.
( engine revving )
( flies buzzing )
( gun cocking )
Cooch:
FEDERAL OFFICER!
HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!
DO IT!
COME BACK
TO COVER YOUR TRACKS, PAL?
LEO'S BEEN OUT HERE
TOO LONG.
I'M TAKING HIM
TO CEREMONIAL BURIAL.
THIS IS RESTRICTED AREA,
GERONIMO.
IT'S INDIAN LAND.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
EASY, SAL.
AIN'T GERONIMO, CHIEF.
MAYBE YOU GUYS
GOT OFF THE WRONG EXIT.
YOU LOOKING
FOR MOUNT RUSHMORE?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
I'M
A FULL-BLOODED OGLALA SIOUX.
YOU'RE A MURDER SUSPECT,
AND YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION.
WHO ARE YOU?
HE'S A FUCKING COP
IS WHAT HE IS.
FUCKING COP?
YEP. WALTER CROW HORSE.
TRIBAL POLICE.
( laughing humorlessly )
SHIT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT, WALTER.
HE'S NEW ON THE BLOCK,
KIND OF GUNG HO.
Crow Horse:
YEAH, WE GOT WIND
YOU WAS COMING.
THIS YOUR INDIAN
OFFICIAL, YEAH?
YEAH. THIS IS RAY HERE.
RAY, UH,
LITTLE WEASEL.
LITTLE WEASEL?
MM-HMM.
YEAH, WELL, UH...
LEO'S GOT TO GET
TO CEREMONY.
GOT TO MAKE THE JOURNEY.
WHAT JOURNEY?
OH, THE JOURNEY.
RIGHT.
IT'S TIME.
LOOK, CROW FOOT
THE ONLY JOURNEY
LEO IS GOING TO MAKE
IS TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
IN RAPID CITY.
IN CASE YOU
DIDN'T KNOW IT, OFFICER
VIOLATION
OF THE MAJOR CRIMES ACT...
...ON AN INDIAN RESERVATION
IS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION
OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INTIMIDATION.
I KNOW THAT.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
NOW VAMOOSE.
( speaking in Lakota )
SORRY?
YEAH, RIGHT.
I SAID, UH, WHEN CAN LEO
BE TAKEN TO CEREMONY?
WE'LL, UH, LET YOU KNOW.
HAVE YOU KNOWN LEO LONG?
NICE SHADES.
Cooch:
THERE'S MORE HOMICIDE HERE
THAN THE WHOLE REST
OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
OVER WHAT?
CIVIL WAR.
YOU GOT THE SO-CALLED
TRADITIONALISTS MIXED UP
WITH OUTSIDE AGITATORS--
THEY WANT TO GO BACK
TO THE TEPEE
AND THE BUFFALO HUNT--
AGAINST THE PRO-GOVERNMENT
INDIANS.
LIKE LEO FAST ELK.
RIGHT.
YEAH.
WELL, HE WAS A COUNCIL MEMBER
SO OFFING HIM
WOULD BE A MAJOR COUP
FOR THESE
MILITANT TRADITIONALISTS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY WANT TO OVERTHROW
THE RESERVATION COUNCIL
AND REINSTATE
THE OLD CHIEF SYSTEM
AND THEN RECLAIM THE AMERICAS
ALL THE WAY FROM ALASKA
DOWN TO ARGENTINA
OR SOME DAMN THING.
WELL, IF THEY WANT
TO DO SOME GOOD
THEY SHOULD
CLEAN UP THE GARBAGE
IN THEIR FRONT YARDS FIRST.
Cooch:
NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF, RAY.
THEY'RE YOUR OWN PEOPLE
AREN'T THEY?
THEY ARE NOT MY PEOPLE.
WELL, JUST DON'T GO OVERBOARD
TRYING TO PROVE THAT POINT.
I THOUGHT
YOU WERE GOING TO SNUFF
OLD CROW HORSE BACK THERE.
HEY, EASY NOW.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
STAY CALM, CHIEF.
JUST A ROAD INSPECTION.
COUTELLE,
YOU FOUND YOUR WAY BACK.
RAY, THIS IS JACK MILTON,
TRIBAL PRESIDENT.
YOU'RE THE INDIAN OFFICIAL
THEY SENT US.
THIS IS
RAY LITTLE...
RAY LEVOI.
MR. MILTON.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Milton:
THEY'RE TRADITIONALS.
SUPPORTERS OF ARM.
WE'RE LOOKING
FOR SOME PEOPLE.
ARM LEFT THEIR MARK
AT THE BODY SITE.
IT'S GONE TOO FAR
OUT HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO CATCH
THESE MURDERERS
AND TAKE CARE OF THEM
INDIAN WAY.
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S GOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF
THE LEGAL WAY, JACK.
FEDERAL JURISDICTION.
ARE THESE
TRIBAL COPS?
GUARDIANS
OF THE OGLALA NATION.
GOONS FOR SHORT.
TRIBAL RANGERS--
AUXILIARY SECURITY.
THEY'VE BEEN EMPLOYED TO RUN
THESE SO-CALLED WARRIORS OFF.
Cooch:
TELL THEM TO PUT
THEIR GUNS AWAY, JACK.
THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH SHOOTING
AROUND HERE.
COME ON.
IF THE FEDERALS
DON'T GET RID OF THEM
WE WILL.
THE ARM IS GOING TO BE
THE BUSTED ARM.
HEY, LOUIS.
JUST SHUT UP
AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD.
MOVE ASIDE.
CLEAR THE ROAD.
I SAID DON'T MOVE.
STAY IN THERE.
WHERE THE HELL
DID THEY SEND US?
A LONG WAY
FROM HOME, RAY.
OKAY, NOW HERE'S THE DEAL.
ARM'S ON
ITS LAST LEGS.
MOST OF THEIR LEADERS
ARE IN JAIL OR DEAD.
WE'VE GOT
TWO KEY EXTREMISTS LEFT.
MAGGIE EAGLE BEAR.
LOCAL SCHOOL TEACHER.
CENTRAL.
PROPENSITY FOR ARMED PROTEST,
INFLAMMATORY ACTS.
OPENLY ADVOCATES
SYSTEMATIC VIOLENCE.
THEN WE GOT...
JIMMY.
JAMES LOOKS TWICE.
Cooch:
THE LAST MESSIAH
OF THE MOVEMENT.
NATIONAL LEADER.
FELONY RECORD?
WELL, HE BURNED
THE AMERICAN FLAG
THREE WEEKS AGO
IN FRONT
OF THE COUNCIL OFFICES.
PLEDGED TO OVERTHROW
MILTON'S GOONS.
AFFIDAVITS?
FIVE.
PLUS WE GOT A DATA MATCH
BETWEEN HIM AND LEO FAST ELK.
TWO ASSAULTS
LAST MONTH.
HE'S MY DOER, RAY.
NOW WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN
IS THIS AFTERNOON
WE'RE GOING
INTO ONE OF
THEIR GUERILLA CAMPS
AND BUST HIS ASS.
TWO ASSAULTS ON LEO?
WELL...
THREE.
( chanting )
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
SWEAT UNIT.
ON THE GROUND.
F.B.I., COME OUT EASY.
( chanting stops )
COME ON, GRANDPA,
MOVE IT.
LET'S GO.
( speaking Lakota )
MOVE ALONG.
F.B.I. AGENT.
WE'LL DO THE TALKING.
GO ON.
MOVE IT,
MOVE IT.
COME ON.
MOVE IT.
TURN AROUND
AND SHUT UP.
OH, MAN.
NICE HAIRCUT, JIMMY.
THIS IS
A SPIRITUAL CEREMONY.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
YOU RESIST
IT ALL GETS REAL SIMPLE
REAL FAST.
YOU KNOW, SUBJECT RESISTED,
SUBJECT IS DEAD.
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN INIPI CEREMONY.
YOU DRAG PEOPLE OUT
OF THEIR CHURCHES
WHILE THEY'RE PRAYING?
GET YOUR CLOTHES ON.
GO ON HOME.
Prisoner:
OKAY, OW, DON'T!
( hawk screeches )
Officer:
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
GOT IT.
MY TURN.
Jimmy:
YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME.
DON'T BE SO SURE,
JIMMY.
HANGING THAT FLAG UPSIDE DOWN
IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
I WAS IN
THE SERVICE, MAN.
'NAM.
DECORATED.
YEAH, ME TOO, JIMMY.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW
AN UPSIDE-DOWN FLAG'S
A DISTRESS SIGNAL.
CUT THE MILITANT BULLSHIT.
I'M NOT A MILITANT,
I'M A WARRIOR.
AND I'M JOHN WAYNE.
IT'S A 500-YEAR RESISTANCE.
YOU CAN'T BREAK
THE CONNECTION.
FOLLOW?
IT'S A 500-YEAR-OLD
VOICE.
HAVE YOU GOT
A KEY?
ALL RIGHT.
AGENT LEVOI,
THE FEDERAL
MASTER KEY, PLEASE.
NO, DON'T.
GOONS JUST BUSTED
MY DOOR SUNDAY.
IT'S IN THE CAN.
THE KEY.
USE THE KEY.
IT'S IN
THE COFFEE CAN.
COFFEE CAN.
YEAH,
IN THE COFFEE CAN
IN THE HOLE.
( children screaming )
Cooch:
ISSUE A FUGITIVE ALERT.
ASSAULT
ON A FEDERAL OFFICER.
Has the officer
been shot?
NO, HE'S BEEN BIT
BY A FUCKING BADGER.
( siren wailing )
OKAY, OKAY!
I SAID HOLD IT!
( rustling )
( child sobbing )
Man:
GO THROUGH EVERYTHING.
TURN AROUND,
KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WALL.
WE KNOW JIMMY'S HERE.
WE KNOW YOU'RE HIDING HIM.
GODDAMN GOONS,
GET THE FUCK
OFF MY PROPERTY.
IF YOU WANT US
TO LEAVE, SCUM
THEN TELL US
WHERE HE IS.
( gunfire )
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
THIS IS A SCHOOL!
KNOCK IT OFF!
THEY'RE NOT THE ENEMY.
JIMMY HAVE ANY KIDS?
YEAH, THREE,
AS FAR AS WE KNOW.
MOVE IT, MOVE IT.
YOU, GET OVER HERE.
LEAVE HER ALONE.
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME.
I'M GOING INSIDE.
I'VE GOT TO GET SOME THINGS.
RAYMOND LEVOI LITTLE WIENER.
FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INTERPRETATION.
YOU SNUCK UP ON ME
JUST LIKE A REAL CITY INDIAN.
YOU DON'T LISTEN SO GOOD,
DO YOU, CROW HORSE?
WATCH IT. YOU'RE STEPPING
ON SIGN.
LEO WASN'T KILLED HERE,
MAN.
HE WAS DUMPED HERE.
OUT OF A CAR.
BALD TREAD, MUFFLER HELD ON
WITH BAILING WIRE.
19 AND 60 CHEVROLET,
BLUE AND WHITE.
LEO'S OWN CAR.
IT'S STILL MISSING.
THE MAN YOU WANT
DRAGGED LEO OUT
ON HIS BACK
TURNED HIM FACE DOWN.
MADE A CIRCLE IN THE EARTH
WITH A LODGEPOLE PINE BOUGH.
DUSTED HIS PRINTS WITH IT
BACK TO LEO'S VEHICLE
BUT HE MISSED ONE.
WHOEVER KILLED LEO
WALKS HEEL-TOE.
PLANTIGRADE.
LIKE A WHITE MAN.
JIMMY HAS
AN INDIAN WALK.
CARRIES ABOUT 140 POUNDS.
THIS GUY WAS A
BIG SON-OF-A-BUCK.
BASED ON THE DEPTH
OF THAT PRINT
I'D SAY
HE GOES 210, 215.
HOW MUCH CHANGE DID
HE HAVE IN HIS POCKET?
63 CENTS.
YOU'RE OUT
OF YOUR JURISDICTION.
LET'S GO.
JURISDICTION'S
THE ONLY THING YOU GOT.
YOU GOT TO LISTEN
TO THE TREES, HOSS.
GOT TO STOP AND LISTEN
TO THE WIND.
IT WILL
TELL YOU THINGS, KOLA.
CROW HORSE,
I FLEW IN HERE
FROM A PLACE CALLED
THE 20th CENTURY.
I DON'T NEED TO LISTEN
TO THE TREES
OR TALK TO THE SAND
TO GET ANSWERS.
WELL, YOU GO BACK
TO THE M.E.
AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK
INSIDE LEO'S WOUNDS
AND YOU TELL ME HOW HE GOT
RED LIMESTONE IN THERE.
YOU'LL ONLY FIND THAT
AT THE BED
OF THE LITTLE WALKING RIVER.
THAT'S WHERE
HE WAS KILLED
WHERE SHE CROSSES
MAGGIE EAGLE BEAR'S PLACE.
TELL 007 WHEN HE'S
STITCHED UP...
WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
YOU COULDN'T DUST
FRANK COUTELLE'S BADGE.
OR HIS BADGER,
FOR THAT MATTER.
YOU WEIGHT 173, HUH?
YOU'RE NOT
A BEER DRINKER.
YOU'RE ONE OF THESE
TOFU-AND-PILAF CHARACTERS.
YOUR GUN'S
ON YOUR RIGHT HIP.
YOU GOT A BACKUP.
A LITTLE
.32, .38 MAYBE
IN AN ANKLE HOLSTER.
GIVES YOU A LEFT-FOOT DRAG.
YOU'RE WEARING
BRAND-NEW SHOES
THAT ARE A LITTLE TOO TIGHT
IN THE INSTEP
BUT, MAN, THEY LOOK COOL,
AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.
AM I RIGHT?
CROW HORSE?
FUCK YOU.
LOVE TO.
MA'AM?
MA'AM, WAIT.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU
FOR A MOMENT.
( car approaching )
WE'RE UNARMED.
Ray:
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
GRANDMA?
GRANDMA, YOU ALL RIGHT?
I GAVE HER A LITTLE START.
SHE'S FINE.
DON'T WORRY,
GRANDMA.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
THE WASHINGTON REDSKIN.
YOU MUST BE
THE INDIAN F.B.I.
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU LOOKING FOR JIMMY?
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
Child:
OKAY, YELLOW HAWK.
Woman:
I THINK SO.
HE CROSSED THE ROAD IN FRONT
OF ME ABOUT TWO MILES BACK
AND THEN HE FLEW AWAY.
HE FLEW AWAY?
YEAH. HE CAN
SHAPE-SHIFT.
SHAPE-SHIFT?
INTO DIFFERENT ANIMALS.
YOU KNOW.
DEER, ELK, PORCUPINE.
CROW, SOMETIMES.
IS THAT A HEREDITARY THING,
OR CAN ONE TAKE CLASSES?
GET OFF.
TAKE HER IN,
TAKE HER IN.
YOU LIVE HERE?
WHY?
NO, HE DOESN'T.
WHERE WERE YOU
TWO DAYS AGO
6:30 IN THE MORNING?
YOU GOT A WARRANT?
NO. YOU WANT TO TAKE
A DRIVE WITH ME
OR TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE
TWO DAYS AGO?
MOMMY, MOMMY!
I WAS IN RAPID CITY.
I HAD AN 8:00 INTERVIEW
WITH A TV REPORTER.
DESECRATION
OF TRIBAL BURIAL GROUNDS.
GO INSIDE.
HE'S NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
THE CHILDREN WERE WITH ME.
WE STOCKED UP
ON DRINKING WATER
AND DROVE BACK
TO THE RES AROUND NOON.
OKAY, AND THE OLD WOMAN
WAS WITH YOU?
NO.
WHY?
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HER.
NO. SHE'S AFRAID
OF THE F.B.I.s.
I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE
A MURDER WAS COMMITTED
ON YOUR PROPERTY.
I'M SURE
IF YOU JUST EXPLAIN
THAT WE'RE HERE AS A SERVICE
TO THE COMMUNITY
SHE'LL COOPERATE.
SHE DOESN'T TALK
TO WASI'CUS.
BUT THEN, YOU'RE INDIAN.
THAT'S CORRECT.
HMM. WHAT NATION?
THE UNITED STATES.
HMPH.
I'M A SIOUX.
WHO DO YOU GET
YOUR BLOOD FROM?
WHO'S YOUR FATHER?
I, UH...
LOOK. THIS REALLY
DOESN'T MATTER, DOES IT?
GRANDMA'S VERY,
VERY TRADITIONAL.
I DON'T THINK
SHE'LL UNDERSTAND.
I'M TRADITIONAL TOO.
BRING HER OUT.
SHE CAN EXPLAIN
SHAPE-SHIFTING.
I'LL EXPLAIN
THE AIRPLANE.
YOU'RE FROM
THE RESERVATION...
YOU ASSHOLE.
I'M FROM MINNEAPOLIS.
I SPENT FOUR
YEARS AT DARTMOUTH
BEFORE I CAME BACK.
I KNOW MY RIGHTS
AND I KNOW YOUR WORLD.
GRANDMA'S NOT COMING OUT
UNLESS YOU'VE GOT A WARRANT
AND YOU'RE TRESPASSING,
SO HIT THE ROAD, CHIEF.
( hawk screeches )
Ray:
"S.A. COUTELLE
AND S.A. LEVOI
"APPREHENDED LOOKS TWICE
AT MILITANT RALLY
BUT WERE ATTACKED... "
Cooch:
AMBUSHED.
AMBUSHED. THAT'S GOOD.
"...AMBUSHED BY FIVE... "
MAYBE THREE?
THREE.
"...UNIDENTIFIED
INDIAN MALES.
S.A. COUTELLE WAS..."
STABBED.
"...STABBED IN THE ARM
"DURING THE AMBUSH.
"LOOKS TWICE
ASSAULTED S.A. LEVOI
"THEN TOOK UNLAWFUL FLIGHT
TO AVOID PROSECUTION.
S.A. COUTELLE ISSUED
AN ALL-POINTS BULLETIN."
I WANT TO NAIL
THIS SON OF A BITCH
BEFORE THAT 302
REACHES DAWES.
OUR THREE DAYS
AREN'T UP YET.
DID YOU GET
ANYTHING OUT THERE?
Bartender:
LISTEN, I THINK IT'S TIME
YOU GOT HOME.
Customer:
I WANT ONE MORE DRINK.
.223 M-16.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
PROPERTY
OF MAGGIE EAGLE BEAR'S.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE...
Bartender:
GET OUT OF HERE!
LET'S GO!
YEAH, AND..?
THERE'S SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE THERE
TO INDICATE
THAT'S THE MURDER SITE.
THIS LOOKS TWICE FELLOW
IS VERY SLOPPY.
HOW DID YOU GET THIS?
FRATERNIZING.
WHO?
THE INDIAN COP, CROW HORSE.
YOU'RE BARKING UP
THE WRONG TREE, RAY.
HE PLAYS WITH F.B.I. HEADS.
THAT'S HIS M.O.
HE'S GOT NO JURISDICTION.
CRYSTAL CLEAR,
BUT IT HAPPENED THERE.
THE D.B. WAS TRANSPORTED
IN HIS OWN VEHICLE,
A '60 CHEVY.
IF WE FIND THAT VEHICLE,
WE'LL HAVE
THE EVIDENCE WE NEED.
WAS ANYBODY AT HER CAMP?
SHE WAS. SIX KIDS.
TWO OF THEM ARE HERS.
UH, THANK YOU.
AN OLD LADY
SHE CALLED GRANDMA
AND AN ARM MEMBER,
RICHARD, LAST NAME UNKNOWN.
WHEELCHAIR?
MM-HMM.
YEAH. RICHARD YELLOW HAWK.
YELLOW HAWK.
( pencil scratching )
LET'S HEAR THE TAPE ON MAGGIE.
I DIDN'T GET TAPE.
WE'RE TRYING
TO BUILD A CASE.
GET TAPE, ALL RIGHT?
IF WE DON'T NAIL THIS
IN 24 HOURS
IT'S NO LONGER
AN IN-AND-OUT.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE EATING
FRIED BREAD AND DOG SOUP
FOR MANY MOONS, RAY.
NOW GET THE FUCK OUT THERE AND
GET THE TRADITIONALS TALKING.
THEY'RE HIDING HIM.
HOW ABOUT A REAL JOB?
NOBODY'S GOING TO TALK TO ME.
( glass breaking )
GODDAMNED PRAIRIE NIGGERS!
WHAT'S ALL
THE SHOOTING ABOUT?
LOOK, SOMEBODY'S
TRYING TO TELL US
IT'S CHECKOUT TIME.
( siren wailing )
YOU GOT TO BE
KIDDING ME.
LICENSE AND REGISTRATION,
PLEASE, SIR.
KISS MY ASS.
HEY, THIS IS MY JURISDICTION,
AND YOU WERE DOING 59 IN A 55.
LET ME SEE THE RADAR.
I DON'T NEED NO RADAR.
I CAN TELL.
YOU'RE SO FULL OF SHIT.
NO. I LISTENED TO THE WIND
WHEN YOU WENT BY.
IT SAID, "59. NAIL HIM...
BEFORE THE TRADITIONALS DO."
YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE JUST
THE SECOND COMING
OF THE SAME OLD CAVALRY.
THEY DON'T WANT YOU HERE.
AIN'T NOBODY
GOING TO TALK TO YOU.
FINE.
EXCEPT FOR
THE WICA'SA WAKAN
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.
THE WHO?
THE MAN WHO SENT ME
TO FIND YOU.
SAYS HE HAS
SOME INFORMATION
FOR THE F.B.I.
WELL, WHERE IS HE?
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN MAIL
THAT PUPPY IN
OR YOU CAN APPEAR
AT TRIBAL COURT
IF YOU WISH
TO CONTEST IT.
FOLLOW ME.
GRANDPA SAMUEL REACHES.
HEAVY-DUTY MEDICINE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
MEDICINE?
LIKE A MEDICINE MAN?
YEAH.
DID YOU BRING
SOME TOBACCO?
WHAT?
WHEN YOU GO AND VISIT
AN ELDER
YOU ALWAYS BRING
SOME TOBACCO
AS A GIFT.
I KNEW THAT.
YEAH, RIGHT.
Come on, Waldo.
Get onto your skis.
( Reaches speaking Lakota )
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE, UH...
HE WANTS TO KNOW
IF YOU EVER WATCH MR. MAGOO.
HE SAYS
HE'S NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
HE'S CRAZY.
( speaking Lakota )
HE SAYS MAGOO NEEDS TO GO UP
ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND GET HIMSELF FOCUSED.
UH...
GRANDPA LIKES TO TRADE.
HMM?
NOBODY STOPS BY HERE
WITHOUT GETTING STUCK
IN THE OLD INDIAN BARTER.
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
HE LIKES
YOUR EYEGLASSES.
AHEM.
( Crow Horse laughing )
HE SAYS YOU STOPPED THE INIPI
TWO DAYS AGO.
HE'S NOT UNHAPPY WITH YOU,
BECAUSE HE SAYS HE KNOWS YOU.
HE KNOWS ME?
HE SAYS HE SAW YOU
IN A VISION SOME TIME BACK.
( speaking Lakota )
HE SAYS YOU COME
FROM A WASI'CU
CITY IN THE EAST
BUT YOUR PEOPLE, WAY BACK,
ARE THE MINNICONJOU SIOUX.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT
BECAUSE YOU'RE AS FAR
FROM YOURSELF
AS A HAWK
FROM THE MOON.
HE WAS TOLD YOU WERE COMING.
WHO TOLD HIM?
SPIRITS.
IT'S THEIR WILL
THAT YOU COME HERE.
SO WE WILL SMOKE THE PIPE
AND THERE WILL BE
NO LIES BETWEEN US.
DON'T WORRY, RAY.
IT AIN'T NO
MEXICAN AGRICULTURE.
TOBACCO OFFERING.
THE SMOKE WILL CARRY
YOUR PRAYERS UP.
IF YOU DON'T SMOKE
HE'LL THINK
YOU'RE HIDING SOMETHING.
( speaking Lakota )
VERY SACRED, HE SAYS.
500 YEARS 0LD
TURTLE SHELL RATTLE.
HANDED DOWN FROM
FOUR GRANDFATHERS.
POWERFUL.
I SEE A MAN--
HALF INDIAN.
HE'S IN DIRTY CLOTHES,
BAD TEETH
STANDING NEAR
A MISSION...
NO, A SCHOOL.
HE'S WAITING
FOR SOMEBODY.
A BOY
LEAVES THE SCHOOL.
OTHER WASI'CUS BOYS PLAYING
LIKE BOYS DO.
THE BOY SEES
THE INDIAN MAN WAITING
BUT THE OTHER BOYS
ARE LAUGHING
AND MAKING NAMES
AT THE INDIAN MAN
AND HIS BOY PRETENDS
HIS EYES DO NOT SEE HIM
AND HE RUNS PAST HIM.
THE INDIAN MAN STANDS ALONE...
SAD.
THIS INDIAN MAN
WITH DIRTY CLOTHES
AND BAD TEETH
IS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
HE'S ON A FLOOR.
YEAH, ON A FLOOR.
( gasping )
HE CAN'T BREATHE.
HE CANNOT... BREATHE.
DOES HE HAVE ANY
IN...
IN... INFORMATION OR NOT?
HE GAVE IT TO YOU.
ASK HIM, UH, IF HE KNOWS
ANYTHING ABOUT THE MURDER.
WELL?
HE SAID,
"I DON'T KNOW."
HE WAS RECITING
THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
IN THERE.
NOW WHAT
WAS HE SAYING?
( sighing )
THE OLD MAN SAW
AN OWL LAST WEEK.
SO WHAT?
THE OWL IS A MESSENGER.
IT MEANS
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO DIE.
THE OWL TOLD HIM
ABOUT LEO.
THE OWL TOLD HIM
ABOUT LEO.
HE ALSO SAID,
"LISTEN TO THE WATER."
LISTEN TO THE WATER.
LISTEN TO THE OWL.
HE ALSO SAID,
"DON'T TRUST MR. MAGOO."
HE SAID YOU'RE CHASING
THE WRONG MAN.
JIMMY DIDN'T DO IT.
HE SAID
WE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS.
FOLLOW THIS.
THE BEST PART OF HIS LIFE
A MEDICINE MAN
COMMUNING WITH THE EARTH.
HE CAN READ YOU
LIKE LAST MONTH'S
SEARS CATALOG, KOLA.
( Reaches laughing )
HELLO.
HELLO.
OH, HELLO.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
( speaking Lakota )
GRANDPA REACHES SAYS YOU COME
FROM HEAVY INDIAN BLOOD.
YOU TRYING TO MANIPULATE
AN OLD MAN NOW?
IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THESE ARE FOR YOU.
GRANDMA WANTS TO KNOW
IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME IN
FOR A CUP OF WAKALAPI.
LOVE ONE.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF TROUBLE AROUND HERE.
YES. I HEAR THE GUNSHOT.
WHEN?
EVERY NIGHT.
I JUST SIT
IN MY CHAIR AND PRAY
TUNKASILA WILL HELP US.
BUT IT'S THE WATER,
THE CHILDREN GETTING SICK.
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WATER?
IT'S CONTAMINATED.
RANCHERS ARE FINDING
STILLBORN CALVES
ALL OVER THE RES.
GRANDMA, DO YOU REMEMBER
THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW LEO FAST ELK?
I'VE GOT SOMETHING.
( speaking Lakota )
WHY DON'T YOU
LEAVE HER ALONE?
SHE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.
A MAN WAS MURDERED HERE.
IT'S MY JOB.
ALL RIGHT.
DO YOUR JOB.
61 TRADITIONALS
AND ARM SUPPORTERS
WHO WERE MURDERED
AND NEVER INVESTIGATED.
OH, YOU DON'T WANT
THIS ONE.
THIS IS A SUICIDE.
SOMEHOW HE SHOT HIMSELF
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
I'LL LOOK INTO IT, MAGGIE.
WHY DON'T YOU ALSO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENS TO TRIBAL FUNDS
THAT DON'T GET
PAST JACK MILTON.
STOP PRETENDING THAT
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
YOU'RE TRYING TO USE
YOUR HONORS DEGREE
IN EDUCATION FROM DARTMOUTH
TO HELP YOUR PEOPLE.
YOU ORGANIZED
THE LOCAL CONTROL OF SCHOOLS.
THEN YOU CO-FOUNDED THE OGLALA
BATTERED WOMEN'S SHELTER
A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AFTER YOU WERE RAPED.
YOU'RE CONSIDERED
ONE OF THE MOST
EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES
OF ARM WITH THE MEDIA
EVEN THOUGH YOU CONSISTENTLY
VOTE AGAINST VIOLENT ACTION.
THAT MUST BE HARD.
YOU DO A LOT
OF GOOD WORK, MAGGIE.
YOU'RE VERY BRAVE.
YOU WANT TO KEEP DOING IT?
( speaking Lakota )
SHE SAYS SHE
MADE THAT FOR YOU.
SHE SAID GRANDPA REACHES
TOLD HER YOU COME FROM...
BRAVE PEOPLE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
Maggie:
GET OFF OF ME!
GET OFF!
GET DOWN! GET DOWN!
( girl screaming )
MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!
STAY DOWN!
Maggie:
GET DOWN!
( gunshot )
( screaming )
MOMMY!
OH, GOD!
HOBART! HOBART!
OH, MY GOD!
HE'S BEEN SHOT!
HE'S BEEN SHOT!
( yelling )
THEY SHOT HIM.
HELP ME.
THEY SHOT HIM.
LET ME TAKE HIM.
MY BABY.
TAKE HIS HEAD.
TAKE HIS HEAD.
WHERE'S THE HOSPITAL?
QUICK!
MAIN VILLAGE!
SHOOTING AT
EAGLE BEAR RESIDENCE
IN MATO SKA.
HE WON'T STOP BLEEDING!
HE WON'T STOP BLEEDING!
WRAP THAT AROUND HIM,
AND DON'T PUT IT ON TOO TIGHT.
I HAVE AN INJURED CHILD
EN ROUTE
TO THE RESERVATION
HEALTH CLINIC. OVER.
HE'S GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT.
STAY AWAKE WITH ME, NOW.
( horn honking )
MY SON'S BEEN SHOT!
WE NEED ANOTHER TABLE.
THERE IS NO OTHER TABLE.
WE NEED ANOTHER TABLE!
HOLD ON.
HOLD HIS HEAD.
HE'S LOST A LOT OF BLOOD.
COME ON.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HE'S NOT GOING
TO DIE.
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE'S BEEN SHOT.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
HOBART.
( laughing )
WHOA!
YEAH!
WHOO!
BREATHE IN AND OUT
AS BIG AS YOU CAN.
HE'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
I GOT SOME COLD ONES
UP HERE IN FRONT.
I'LL TAKE ONE.
HERE YOU GO.
( gunshot )
( snapping )
( screaming )
( horn honking )
NO.
WERE YOU HIT?
ARE YOU OUT
OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?
I TOLD YOU
EAGLE BEAR WAS KEY.
NOW THE ARM PEOPLE THINK
SHE'S AN INFORMANT.
THAT WASN'T ARM.
YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR BOY
ON A LEASH!
YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT NEEDS A FUCKING LEASH!
THESE GUYS ARE ON OUR TEAM.
YOU SET OFF A POWDER KEG.
I TOLD YOU
NOT TO GO THERE.
YOU GETTING HORNY
OR SOMETHING?
SHOOTING FOR RANK?
I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS
WHAT WENT ON
BETWEEN YOU AND DAWES
IN D.C.
THIS IS THE BATTLEFIELD,
AND THIS IS MY CASE.
( hooting and hollering )
GET IN THE FUCKING CAR.
Milton:
LET'S GET ON
OUT OF HERE.
WE JUST GOT THE LAB REPORT
ON THAT EAGLE
FEATHER YOU FOUND
IN THE TRAILER AT JIMMY'S.
IT'S A GENETIC DITTO
TO THE ONE FOUND
AT THE D.B. SITE.
STICK TO THE ASSIGNMENT, PAL.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
VERY GOOD.
WELL, LET'S JUST CATCH
THIS TONTO AND
GET OUT OF HERE.
YOU FILLED OUT A 302
THIS MORNING.
SUBJECT--
INDIAN MALE, ELDERLY.
SAMUEL REACHES.
HE AIN'T ELDERLY, COOCH.
PETRIFIED.
IT'S JUST BULLSHIT.
NOT EXACTLY.
THE OLD MAN'S
A SPIRITUAL LEADER OF ARM.
THEY ALL GO TO HIM
TO GET THEIR SEMIAUTOMATICS
BLESSED OR SOMETHING.
I WANT YOU TO CODE FIVE
AT HIS RESIDENCE.
LOOK, UM... COOCH...
HEY, LOOK, LET'S GET
BACK ON TRACK HERE.
THE HEAT'S COMING DOWN
ON JIMMY
AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
HE GOES TO GET HOLY.
NOW GET YOURSELF
A COLD SHOWER
AND GET ON OVER THERE.
( dog whining )
JAMES LOOKS TWICE...
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
SHAPE-SHIFT,
YOU CAN HAVE SOME MILK.
( whining )
JUST CHECKING.
( sighing )
OH...
OKAY.
THANKS.
HEY.
WHAT?
( motorcycle engine revving )
( whining )
NO, NO. COME ON.
GET OUT.
HANG ON, JIMMY.
( drums beating )
( chanting )
THAT'S A NICE
TRUCK, RAY.
WHERE DID YOU
STEAL IT?
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
WANT TO SEE THIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S A POWWOW.
BET THAT EAGLE FEATHER
YOU FOUND
GAVE YOU A LITTLE CHUB.
WE ALL HAVE FEATHERS
FROM THE SAME EAGLE.
WE SHARE
EVERYTHING ON THE RES.
THOSE ARE MY SUNGLASSES.
I TRADED GRANDPA.
I'LL TRADE WITH YOU.
( laughing )
THAT'S A ROCK.
YOU NUTS?
THESE ARE RAY-BANS.
JESUS.
YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING
ON JIMMY, DO YOU?
YOU'RE NO COP.
FLEEING JUSTICE,
ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON
ASSAULT WITH INTENT
TO KILL IS NOTHING?
SEDITION?
THAT SCUM IS AN ENEMY
OF THE UNITED STATES.
YOU KNOW, RAY,
WHEN WE WERE KIDS
WE USED TO PLAY
COWBOYS AND INDIANS.
I WAS ALWAYS GARY COOPER.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE AN INDIAN.
THE GOVERNMENT BOARDING SCHOOL
MADE SURE OF THAT.
IT CUT OFF MY HAIR
WASHED MY MOUTH OUT
WITH SOAP
WHEN I SPOKE
MY OWN LANGUAGE.
MY OWN LANGUAGE, RAY.
WHEN THE ARM
WARRIORS CAME HERE
IT WAS LIKE AN AWAKENING.
IT GOT THE PEOPLE
PROUD OF THEIR HERITAGE
THEIR ELDERS, LANGUAGE.
AND YOU CALL THEM
ENEMIES.
TOUGH CALL
ALL THE WAY AROUND,
ISN'T IT, RAY?
YOU JUST KEEP DOING THAT.
TOMORROW MORNING
I'LL HAVE LEO'S MURDERER
IN THE BEAR CREEK
TRIBAL JAIL.
SCREW YOUR JURISDICTION.
LISTEN, IF YOU'RE
WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE
YOU'RE IN DEEP SHIT.
SO SUE ME.
( straining: )
OH, OH...
YOU'RE A BIG BOY.
NICE TO RUN INTO YOU,
WASHINGTON.
YEAH, YEAH,
THE WASHINGTON REDSKIN.
HOW ARE YOU?
MAN,
YOU BETTER WATCH YOURSELF.
AROUND HERE, I'M THE F.B.I.--
FULL-BLOODED INDIAN.
Crow Horse:
GRANDPA.
HE WANTS TO TRADE.
HE LIKES YOUR WATCH.
OH, NO,
IMPOSSIBLE.
THIS, UH...
MY GRANDMOTHER
GAVE IT TO ME
WHEN SHE WAS DYING.
EXPLAIN THAT.
( speaking Lakota )
IT'S A ROLEX.
NO WAY.
HE SAYS YOU NEED
TO GO ON INDIAN TIME.
WHITE MAN TIME
WILL GIVE YOU STOMACH CANCER.
NO DEAL.
Ray:
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU'RE AFTER
BUT I'M NOT LOOKING
FOR A WHITE GUY.
GOOD. NEITHER AM I.
IT'S AN OLD LAKOTA BELIEF
THAT IF YOU TURN
A DEAD MAN FACEDOWN
HIS SPIRIT
WON'T COME BACK.
THAT'S A SIOUX THING
A WHITE MAN WOULDN'T KNOW.
IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
YOU BETTER TELL ME.
I CAN HELP YOU.
TELL ME
WHAT YOU KNOW.
I WON'T KNOW ANYTHING
TILL TONIGHT.
THEY'RE COMING
TO GRANDPA'S.
WHO'S THEY?
WHO?
THEY ARE.
YOU CAN EITHER
COME TO GRANDPA'S
AND FIND OUT
FOR YOURSELF, OR...
YOU CAN GO
AND CHASE JIMMY.
( speaking Lakota )
Crow Horse:
HE SAYS BACK BEHIND
RED DEER TABLE
THERE ARE STRANGE BEINGS
FROM ANOTHER WORLD
WHO EAT STONES AND DIRT
AND WHO WILL KILL ANYONE
WHO CROSSES INTO THIS PLACE.
THIS IS WHAT
THE SPIRITS SAY.
HE SAYS THEY SAW YOU
GOING BACK INTO THE LAND
BEYOND RED DEER TABLE.
I WAS WITH YOU.
BUT THAT'S ALL THEY TELL
SO HE DOESN'T KNOW
IF YOU WERE KILLED OR NOT.
HE THINKS
YOU PROBABLY WERE
BUT IT WAS A GOOD DAY
TO DIE.
GO TO RED DEER TABLE.
GO TO THE LAND
WHERE THE ELK PEOPLE
USED TO LIVE
BUT YOU MUST GO AS TWO.
THIS IS THE VISION I RECEIVED.
I HAVE SPOKEN,
AND IT IS SO.
Woman:
RAYMOND?
RAYMOND?
GET AWAY FROM HIM, RAYMOND.
COME HERE TO ME.
HE'S DRUNK.
GET AWAY FROM HIM.
LET GO OF HIM!
COME ON. COME HERE.
LET GO!
( breathing hard )
WHOA, WHOA! EASY, HOSS.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
RED DEER TABLE, RAY,
WE HAVE TO GO TOGETHER.
YOU CAN'T MESS
WITH THE VISIONS!
SOMEONE WAS SUPPOSED
TO TALK.
THEY DID.
BULLSHIT.
YOU'RE BULLSHIT.
IT'S OKAY.
I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED.
OKAY? JUST DON'T BE SCARED.
YOU'RE FIGHTING IT.
JUST DON'T FIGHT IT.
OKAY?
OKAY, RAYMOND?
GET OUT OF MY FACE.
Grandpa:
KNOCK IT OFF!
KNOCK IT OFF!
YOU REMIND ME
OF A COUPLE OF OLD WOMEN.
HE SPEAKS ENGLISH.
YEAH.
ONLY WHEN HE'S REALLY
PISSED OFF.
( Grandpa chuckling )
COME ON UP AND WATCH TV.
( both laughing )
JESUS, YOU GAVE ME
A SCARE.
YOU OKAY?
Man: WE GOT ONE.
SADDLE UP.
STOP THE TRUCK!
HOLD IT
RIGHT THERE!
STOP IT!
( guns cocking )
DON'T MOVE.
F.B.I.
GET HIM OUT
OF THERE.
GET OUT.
F.B.I.
SORRY.
FED. LET HIM THROUGH.
( music drifting out )
( people talking )
Cooch:
YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
PRETTY SOON, I THINK.
YEAH, ME TOO.
HOW DID IT GO AT REACHES'?
NOTHING.
WHAT? I'M LOSING YOU.
TALK LOUDER.
ARE YOU LOCKING
THE GARAGE DOOR AT NIGHT?
SOMETHING HAPPEN?
FIELD SUPPORT FROM RAPID.
WE'RE SETTING UP A NET.
NO, NOT THE MUD ROOM DOOR.
NO, THE OVERHEAD.
YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S EASIER FOR SOMEONE
TO BREAK IN WITH A REMOTE.
WE BLEW OUR THREE-DAY, RAY.
YEAH, LOOK...
OKAY, HONEY,
I GOT TO RUN.
OKAY.
YEAH, REAL SOON.
ME TOO.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
WELL, I HAD HIM, RAY.
I HAD HIS ASS
AT A TRADITIONAL'S PLACE
IN RED CROW
BUT HE JUST SLIPPED OUT
BEFORE I COULD MOVE IN.
SO HE LEFT THAT.
THAT'S THE ANIMAL.
PIN TEST?
YEAH, YOU BET.
THE WHOLE WORKS.
WE'RE SENDING IT OFF
TO RAPID IN A MINUTE.
WE GOT SOMETHING HARD
ON HIM NOW--
CONCLUSIVE.
FANTASTIC.
YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
YOUR NAME'S ON THE 302.
HEY, BRIAN?
YEAH?
GET THAT TO D.C.
Man #1:
WHO'S UP IN
BELLE FOURCHE?
Man #2:
I THINK JACKSON'S
UP THERE.
Man #1:
GET HIM ON THE HORN.
YOU OKAY?
SURE.
YOU DON'T LOOK SO HOT.
COME ON.
LET'S GO GET SOME AIR.
Cooch:
YOU WANT A SODA?
YOU GOT A DOG
IN YOUR TRUCK.
THAT'S JIMMY.
I FED IT.
CAN'T GET
RID OF IT.
LOOK LIKE YOU'VE SEEN
A FUCKING GHOST, RAY.
SEEING THINGS
OUT HERE, COOCH.
THIS PLACE WILL
DO THAT TO YOU.
I, UH...
HAVE YOU..?
I PASSED A ROADBLOCK
ON THE WAY IN HERE.
GOONS WERE ARMED
LIKE THE FUCKING MARINES.
FUGITIVE ALERT.
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?
I MEAN, UH...
WE'RE HERE TO DO
A MOP-UP, RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH.
WE'RE MOPPING UP
A HOMICIDE, OKAY?
THESE PEOPLE CAN'T SEEM
TO TAKE CARE
OF THEIR OWN MESSES, RAY.
INTERNAL CIVIL CONFLICT.
THEY'VE BEEN
AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS
FOR OVER 100 YEARS.
WE CAN'T GET
SUCKERED INTO THAT.
WE'RE HERE TO TAKE OUR MAN
AND GO HOME. ALL RIGHT?
THIS MILTON,
DOES HE CHECK OUT?
WELL, A SITUATION LIKE THIS
IT'S HARD TO
TELL THE GOOD GUYS
FROM THE BAD GUYS.
THEY'RE ALL INDIANS.
IT'S A MESS.
I'VE BEEN STUDYING THIS FIELD
FOR NINE YEARS, RAY.
I KNOW MORE ABOUT THE LAW
AND THE HISTORY OUT HERE
THAN THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I FEEL FOR THEM,
I REALLY DO.
THEY'RE A PROUD PEOPLE
BUT THEY'RE ALSO
A CONQUERED PEOPLE.
THAT MEANS
THEIR FUTURE IS DICTATED
BY THE NATION
THAT CONQUERED THEM.
NOW, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY
THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS.
I'VE SEEN SOME
FIELD AGENTS
BREAK THE RULES OUT HERE.
I'VE SEEN EXCESS AND ERROR.
BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN
TWO AGENTS, FAMILY MEN
LAYING BELLY-DOWN IN THE GRASS
WITH THEIR HEADS BLOWN OFF
AND THEY WERE JUST
DOING THEIR JOB, RAY.
IDEALISTIC AGENTS,
LIKE ALL THE REST OF US.
PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY
OF THE AMERICAN DREAM.
LOOKS TWICE IS AN ENEMY
OF THE UNITED STATES, RAY.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.
NOW GET IN THE CHUTE,
PUT YOUR VEST ON
AND LET'S GET READY
TO TAKE HIM.
YOU OKAY ABOUT THIS?
SURE.
PUT YOUR GAME FACE ON
AND GET OUT THERE
TO THE OLD MAN'S.
( singing in Lakota )
( gasping )
4:16 A.M.,
SAM REACHES' RESIDENCE.
SUBJECT IS...
...SINGING.
OUTSTANDING.
( humming )
( whining )
OH, CHRIST.
( gunfire )
SHOOTING AT SAM REACHES'
RESIDENCE. OVER.
SHOT CAME FROM OVER HERE.
I WANT TO TAKE
THIS PLACE APART!
GOT A BUNKER OVER HERE.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
I WANT CASINGS.
CASINGS.
FIND ME SOME CASINGS!
GOT SOMETHING
OVER HERE!
IF YOU'RE GOING
TO BE A TEAM PLAYER
GIVE ME
THOSE REPORTS...
I HEARD YOU
THE FIRST TIME!
LOOKS LIKE JIMMY'S PLAYING
CRAZY HORSE WITH US AGAIN.
LATER.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, CHIEF.
NO.
I DON'T CARE!
IF IT'S BREATHING, PICK IT UP!
NO.
JUST GO INSIDE.
WHY DID YOU
TEAR IT DOWN?
OKAY?
FEDERAL ISSUE.
NO, NO, NO.
HARD EVIDENCE,
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.
WHAT DID
THE OLD MAN WANT?
OH, JUST SOME MONEY.
COME ON.
LET'S TAKE A RIDE.
YOU KNOW, IF EITHER ONE
OF US GETS HIT, RAY
IT WILL BE ALL SHE WROTE.
WE'LL HAVE A FULL-SCALE
WAR ON OUR HANDS.
OH, SHIT.
CHIEF PAIN IN THE ASS.
HEY, I DON'T MEAN
TO STEP ALL OVER
YOUR JURISDICTION
BUT CAN I BORROW YOUR RADIO
TO REPORT A FOUND VEHICLE--
A 19 AND 60 CHEVROLET,
BLUE AND WHITE
REGISTERED
TO ONE LEO FAST ELK...
DECEASED.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
Crow Horse:
YEAH, HOW ABOUT THAT?
HUBCAP!
WE'LL SEE IF IT
MATCHES ANYTHING.
OKAY.
OH, A FUCKING HUBCAP.
Mackey: DEFINITELY
A CITY INDIAN, COOCH.
RESERVATION INDIAN
WOULD HAVE TAKEN DROUGHT
INTO CONSIDERATION.
THAT'S ABOUT PAR
FOR THE COURSE.
YEAH. BRILLIANT.
HOW ARE YOU
MAKING OUT?
Agent:
GOT A FEW PARTIALS.
COOCH, THE KILLER LOOKS
LIKE A REAL BIG GUY.
HEY, KEN, BAG IT.
I'LL DO IT.
IS THAT A WARRANT
FOR GRANDMA?
SHE'S GONE.
I SENT HER AWAY
WITH THE CHILDREN
WHERE THEY'LL BE SAFE.
GOOD.
HOW'S YOUR SON?
HE'S HEALING.
THANKS FOR ASKING.
AND THANKS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
TAKING SAMPLES FOR TESTING.
MORE PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN GETTING SICK.
I'M SORRY I GOT
YOUR FAMILY INVOLVED IN THIS.
RAY, MY FAMILY'S
BEEN INVOLVED
SINCE COLUMBUS LANDED.
LISTEN, MY PARTNER IS CREATING
AN AIRTIGHT CASE.
JIMMY HAS NO CHANCE,
EXCEPT FOR THIS EVIDENCE.
NOW, IF THIS WERE
TO FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS
I THINK IT MIGHT
DESTROY THIS CASE.
CROW HORSE TOLD ME
THAT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO
YOU HELD A RAFFLE
AT A BENEFIT CONCERT.
DID YOU KEEP ANY RECORDS?
I CAN'T DO THAT, RAY.
THIS EVIDENCE IS
THE ONLY POWER WE HAVE
TO BUILD A CASE.
THAT'S NOT POWER, RAY.
THAT'S PAPER.
OH, CHRIST.
RAY!
POWER IS A RAINSTORM.
POWER IS THAT RIVER
RIGHT THERE
AND THAT'S WHAT
I HAVE TO PROTECT--
NOT THE WHITE LAW.
IF JIMMY GOES TO PRISON
FOR BEING A WARRIOR
THAT IS SOMETHING
HE ACCEPTS.
THAT'S HIS WAY.
THAT'S OUR WAY.
IT'S THE INDIAN WAY
TO LET JIMMY GO DOWN.
YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE NOT INDIAN.
MY FATHER WAS AN INDIAN.
YOU NEVER KNEW HIM.
I KNEW MY FATHER.
HE WAS CRAZY.
HE BUILT BRIDGES
AND SKYSCRAPERS
WITHOUT A SAFETY HARNESS
IN HIS BARE FEET.
I KNEW MY FATHER,
MAGGIE.
I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID HE'D FALL
AND THAT HE'D SAY,
"DON'T WORRY, WASHI.
I CAN FLY."
THAT'S WHAT
HE'D CALL ME.
HE CALLED ME WASHI,
BUT HE COULDN'T FLY, MAGGIE.
HE TRIED, BUT...
HE DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH...
IN FRONT OF ME AND MY MOTHER.
I WAS ASHAMED OF HIM.
SO I BURIED HIM
TILL MY OWN PEOPLE
DUG HIM BACK UP.
MY OWN PEOPLE.
WHAT?
WASHI.
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS?
HE SAID IT MEANT "GOOD BOY."
IT'S THE LARD
WE PUT IN STEW.
GREAT.
I THINK HE WAS CALLING YOU
A CHUBBY BOY.
WHOEVER BOUGHT THIS TICKET
KILLED LEO FAST ELK.
I GOT TO GO, RAY.
LISTEN, THERE'S
ROADBLOCKS EVERYWHERE.
IT'S NOT SAFE.
I'LL BE OKAY, RAY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
TO THE SOURCE.
THE SOURCE?
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO DO THE SAME...
WASHI.
( laughing )
( chanting )
( screaming )
( engine starting )
HELLO.
( speaking Lakota )
GRANDPA,
SPEAK ENGLISH, PLEASE?
LISTEN, I NEED TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME.
I...
WHAT... YOU GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
Looks Twice:
I BELONG HERE.
WHY AREN'T YOU
AT RED DEER TABLE?
WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL
ABOUT THAT PLACE?
CAN'T I GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER?
FAST ELK FOUND OUT ITS POWER,
SO THEY KILLED HIM.
WELL, THEY'LL KILL YOU
IF YOU STAY HERE.
SOMETIMES THEY
HAVE TO KILL US.
THEY HAVE TO KILL US
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
BREAK OUR SPIRIT.
LOOK
I DON'T HAVE
TO DO THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY CHOICE.
I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU.
WHY WON'T YOU ACCEPT THAT?
IT'S IN OUR DNA.
YOU HAVE TO DO
WHAT OLD MAN SAYS.
WHAT MAKES YOU
SUCH A THREAT?
WE CHOOSE THE RIGHT
TO BE WHO WE ARE.
WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE REALITY
OF FREEDOM
AND THE ILLUSION OF FREEDOM.
THERE'S A WAY
TO LIVE WITH EARTH
AND A WAY NOT TO LIVE
WITH EARTH.
WE CHOOSE THE WAY OF EARTH.
IT'S ABOUT POWER...
RAY.
( door banging )
Mackey:
F.B.I.!
GET THEM UP, JIMMY.
GET THEM UP!
GET THEM UP!
GET THEM UP, JIMMY.
GET THEM UP!
GET UP,
SON OF A BITCH.
Mackey:
ON YOUR FEET, GRANDPA.
YOU'RE IN LOTS OF TROUBLE.
LET'S GO.
UP, UP, COME ON.
TAKE IT EASY
CALM DOWN.
GET HIM IN THERE.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!
GET HIM IN THERE.
GET HIM
OUT HERE.
HE KNOWS NOTHING.
Mackey:
YOU BEEN TEACHING
THESE CRIMINALS
ABOUT THE GREAT
RED SPIRIT, SAM?
CHECK HIM FOR PEYOTE.
HE'S GOT A KNIFE!
HEY, WHAT IS THIS,
A MAGIC RATTLE?
YOU GOING TO DO
A RAIN DANCE--
END THIS DROUGHT?
HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.
LEAVE HIM ALONE!
HEY, HEY,
TAKE IT EASY!
HEY, TAKE IT EASY,
DAMN IT!
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,
WE GOT HIM, DIDN'T WE?
YOU GUYS JUST CALM DOWN
AND TAKE IT EASY, ALL RIGHT?
IT'S ALL OVER.
( speaking Lakota )
Cooch:
WELL, WE NAILED HIM, JACK.
I KNEW HE WOULD HAVE
TO COME BACK TO GRANDPA'S
SOONER OR LATER.
RAY MADE THE COLLAR.
WELL, THE ARM IS BUSTED.
MAYBE NOW WE'LL HAVE
A LITTLE PEACE HERE--
NO MORE AGITATORS
STIRRING UP TROUBLE.
GOOD, KOLA.
Cooch:
LET'S CLOSE THIS THING OUT.
DRINKS ARE ON ME
AT THE BUFFALO BUTTE.
WHOO!
WE'LL SEE YOU
OVER THERE, RAY.
MAKE A COLLECT CALL
TO DAWES--
TELL HIM HIS INDIAN
DID ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL BE OUT OF HERE
TOMORROW.
Milton:
YEAH, SEE YOU LATER.
LISTEN, UH...
I'M NOT WHO
YOU THINK I AM.
I'M SORRY.
UM, BACK THAT WAY
IS A PLACE CALLED
WOUNDED KNEE.
I WAS ONE YEAR OLD THERE
WHEN THEY CAME AND SHOT
OUR PEOPLE DOWN
BECAUSE THEY WERE
GHOST DANCING.
THEY BELIEVED
THIS DANCE
WILL STOP THE WHITE MAN
FROM COMING
AND BRING BACK THE BUFFALO.
THEY SHOT 300 OF US.
ONE OF THOSE KILLED
WAS A HOLY MAN
CALLED WAKIYAN CANTE--
THUNDERHEART.
HE WAS KILLED WHILE RUNNING
FOR THE STRONGHOLD.
IT IS HIS BLOOD--
THE SAME BLOOD
THAT WAS SPILLED
IN THE GRASS AND SNOW
AT WOUNDED KNEE--
RUNS THROUGH YOUR HEART
LIKE A BUFFALO.
THUNDERHEART
HAS COME--
SENT HERE TO A TROUBLED PLACE
TO HELP HIS PEOPLE.
THAT'S WHAT
I'M TOLD.
( chanting )
( chanting )
( chanting )
( engine starting )
RUN.
RUN FOR THE STRONGHOLD,
THUNDERHEART.
RUN.
THE SOLDIERS ARE COMING.
THEY BROKE MY TV.
( door closing )
YELLOW HAWK.
( thumping )
( thumping )
( screeching )
( knocking )
OH. THE WASHINGTON REDSKIN.
THOUGHT YOU'D
BE GONE BY NOW.
I'D LIKE TO BE, RICHARD.
I'D LIKE TO BE.
BUT, UH...
YOU'RE IN A LOT
OF TROUBLE, RICHARD.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
THAT MUST BE A BITCH.
HOW LONG
YOU BEEN IN IT?
SINCE I GOT AN IRON PIPE
PUT ACROSS MY KNEES, MAN.
FIGHT WITH THREE WASI'CUS,
YOU KNOW?
YEAH, THAT WAS
AT SIOUX FALLS PEN, WASN'T IT?
THAT WAS LEAVENWORTH.
THIS IS SIOUX FALLS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
LEAVENWORTH IS A TOUGH JOINT,
ISN'T IT?
EVER TRY ISOLATION UNIT?
NO, I DON'T THINK
I HAVE, RICHARD.
YOU KNOW WHY
I'M HERE, RICHARD?
D.C. SENT YOU.
I KNOW THAT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
D.C. SENT ME, RICHARD.
D.C. SENT ME CAUSE THIS
WHOLE THING'S BEEN FUCKED.
YOU KNOW WHAT
I MEAN, RICHARD?
AN ARRANGEMENT WAS MADE
BETWEEN YOU AND US.
YOU, UH...
REMEMBER THAT ARRANGEMENT,
DON'T YOU, RICHARD?
I'M HERE, AIN'T I?
NO. YOU'RE GONE, RICHARD.
YOU RECEIVED EARLY PAROLE
CONTINGENT ON NOT VIOLATING
PAROLE CONDITIONS.
RIGHT. I DIDN'T
VIOLATE PAROLE.
WE'LL GO OUT THE BACK DOOR
REAL SLOW.
GET OUT OF THE CHAIR.
WHAT IS IT
WITH YOU PEOPLE?
I'M THROWN INTO ISOLATION
UNTIL I DON'T KNOW
MY OWN FUCKING NAME.
GET UP.
THEN YOU TELL ME
I CAN BEAT 20 YEARS
IF I HELPED YOU.
WELL, I HELPED YOU.
THE ARM'S IS GONE, MAN.
GET UP!
THEY SAID
I'D NEVER SEE F.B.I. AGAIN.
AND I'M LIVING
WITH YOU FUCKING SCUM.
WHAT IS IT
YOU WANT NOW?
I DON'T FEED YOU
INFORMATION ON THE ARM
OR IF I DON'T GET THE BOYS
TO MAKE TROUBLE
IT'S BACK TO THE PEN.
IT'S YOUR WORD
AGAINST MY WORD,
A CON INDIAN'S WORD.
YOU VIOLATED PAROLE, RICHARD.
WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?
I DID WHAT YOU
WASI'CUS TOLD ME TO DO.
YOU BLEW IT, RICHARD.
YEAH, I BLEW HIS BACK OUT
WITH YOUR FUCKING HARDWARE.
I'M NOT GOING BACK, MAN.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK.
THE MEN THAT APPROACHED YOU
AT LEAVENWORTH
WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?
MAYBE I CAN DO A DEAL.
I DON'T KNOW.
SUITS. THREE SUITS.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW THEM AS.
TALK TO FRANK.
HE'S THE ONE THAT SET IT UP.
RIGHT. FRANK...
FRANK COUTELLE WAS THERE.
YEAH, FRANK COUTELLE
WAS THERE.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT.
YOU'RE NOT F.B.I.
I WANT TO SEE FRANK.
YOU'RE NOT
A FUCKING LAW, MAN.
I'M THE FUCKING LAW.
OKAY.
OKAY.
STAY HERE.
Crow Horse:
JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD
A FEW MORE MILES.
AND YOU THOUGHT HE WAS
SOME CRAZY OLD COOT
TALKING MYTHS AND BULLSHIT.
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, HOSS.
HIS VISIONS ARE STRONG.
DO THEY COME IN DREAMS,
THESE... VISIONS?
YEAH, DREAMS.
SOMETIMES DURING SICKNESS.
SWEAT LODGE, VISION QUEST.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN.
( clearing throat )
JUST BEFORE...
THEY CAUGHT JIMMY
I HAD A DREAM.
I WAS BEING RUN DOWN.
I WAS RUNNING WITH...
OTHER INDIANS.
I WAS SHOT IN THE BACK.
THEN...
LAST NIGHT
I DROVE PAST IT.
THE PLACE IT HAPPENED.
I SAW IT.
SAW WHAT?
WOUNDED KNEE MEMORIAL.
YOU WERE RUNNING
WITH THE OLD ONES?
AT THE KNEE?
IT WAS JUST A DREAM.
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, MAN?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU HAD YOURSELF A VISION.
A MAN WAITS A LONG TIME
TO HAVE A VISION.
MIGHT GO HIS WHOLE LIFETIME
AND NEVER HAVE ONE.
AND ALONG COMES
SOME INSTANT INDIAN
WITH A FUCKING ROLEX
AND A BRAND-NEW
PAIR OF SHOES--
GODDAMN F.B.I.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF--
HAS HIS SELF A VISION.
SORRY.
AH, MAYBE IT WAS JUST
ONE OF THEM--
WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM?--
FITFUL DREAMS.
YEAH.
FITFUL DREAMS.
FITFUL DREAMS, HORSESHIT.
YOU HAD YOURSELF A VISION.
WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
OH, STOP.
THERE IT IS, MAN.
RED DEER TABLE.
( splashing )
JESUS!
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
GODDAMN. TEST DRILLING
FOR URANIUM.
LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S SEALANT.
OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VOTING
AGAINST THIS MINING THING
FOR YEARS.
NATIONAL SECURITY.
DOES MILTON OWN
THIS LAND?
HE'D LIKE TO.
HE JUST GETS KICKBACKS
OFF THE DAMN LEASES.
HOW COULD NO ONE KNOW?
BECAUSE YOUR GOVERNMENT
PUSHED OUR PEOPLE
OFF THIS LAND YEARS AGO, RAY.
AND MILTON AND HIS GOONS
ARE MAKING SURE
THAT WE DON'T COME BACK.
SO LEO FOUND OUT ABOUT IT
AND DIDN'T LIKE IT
AND WENT TO MAGGIE.
SO THEY ZAPPED HIM
AND PINNED IT ON JIMMY
TO DESTROY ARM.
YEAH.
THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO'D DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
AND YOUR PEOPLE
SUPPLIED MILTON
AND HIS GOONS.
THEY'RE NOT MY PEOPLE.
GODDAMN IT, RAY.
THE SOURCE.
THE LITTLE WALKING
STARTS HERE.
THAT'S WHAT'S CONTAMINATED
THE WATER.
THEY GO AHEAD WITH THIS
STRIP-MINING THING
AND THIS RESERVATION'S
A DEAD ZONE.
WE GOT TO GET YOU
OFF THE RES.
WE GOT TO GET YELLOW HAWK
OFF THE RES.
( animals snarling )
( gun cocking )
( coyotes
barking and snarling )
MILTON'S BOYS
HAVE BEEN HERE.
WALTER.
OH, NO.
OH.
OH, NO.
AH...
SHIT.
RAY.
Cooch:
Hold your fire.
I want him alive.
( children screaming )
RAY.
YOU LISTENING TO ME?
THIS IS INSUBORDINATION,
AND IT'S FUTILE.
You're under duress.
I can understand that.
Just pull over
and we'll talk about it.
THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING.
JUST STOP THE CAR.
BETTER GET THE RAPID CITY
FEDERALS BACK OUT HERE.
MARSHALS.
WE DON'T WANT
A GODDAMNED MEDIA EVENT.
CONTAIN ALL RESERVATION EXITS.
IT'S UNDER CONTROL.
YELLOW HAWK IS GOING TO SING.
YELLOW HAWK COMMITTED SUICIDE
AT 3:06 THIS MORNING.
You hear me?
Stop the car, Ray.
Ray:
You blew it, Richard.
Yellow Hawk:
I blew him out
with your hardware.
I'm not going back, man.
The men
that approached you
at Leavenworth,
what are their names?
Maybe I can do a deal.
Suits. Three suits.
That's all
I know them as.
Talk to Frank.
He set it up.
Right, Frank.
Frank Coutelle was there.
Yeah, Frank Coutelle
was there.
( tape rewinding )
...Frank.
He set it up.
Right, Frank.
Frank Coutelle was there.
Yeah, Frank Coutelle
was there.
ALWAYS GET TAPE, FRANK.
THANKS.
PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON.
WHERE THE HELL...
LET'S GO.
HE'S GONE NATIVE ON US.
JESUS CHRIST.
IF HE GETS OFF THE RES,
WE'VE GOT COMPLICATIONS.
HE'S NOT GETTING OFF
THE RES.
THEY GOT US SEALED IN.
WHERE THE HELL
ARE YOU GOING?
STRONGHOLD.
WHAT?
WE'RE HEADING
FOR THE STRONGHOLD.
AW, SHIT.
WHERE THE HELL
IS HE GOING?
NOWHERE.
IT'S A WALL.
IS THAT IT?
YEAH, YEAH.
WHOA...
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
EASY, EASY!
AW, SHIT!
( coughing )
RAY!
LET'S TALK, RAY.
LET'S TALK
ABOUT RED DEER TABLE.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.
WHY DID WE KILL
LEO FAST ELK?
WHY MAGGIE'S
LYING UP THERE DEAD?
YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING
TO YOUR LAND?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO YOURSELF, RAY?
WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO YOU?
THEY'RE DRILLING URANIUM
UP THERE.
Cooch:
THAT'S RESTRICTED MATERIAL.
GIVE ME THE TAPE.
IT'S CONTAMINATED MATERIAL.
YOUR DEAL GOES THROUGH
WITH MILTON, YOU'RE ALL DEAD.
HE'S LYING!
IT'S IN THE RIVER.
HEY, LOOK.
WE CAME HERE TO APPREHEND
A MURDERER.
NOW IT'S ALL OVER.
YOU CAME HERE
TO BROKER A LAND DEAL
AND TO ELIMINATE
ANYONE WHO KNOWS.
EVEN THE SCHOOLTEACHER?
A SCHOOLTEACHER, FRANK?
( Ray panting )
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
YOU WANT AN ADVISORY POSITION,
GRADE TEN?
I CAN ARRANGE THAT
IN DENVER.
SENSITIVE OPERATIONS UNIT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
PEOPLE KNOW.
YOU CAN'T KILL ALL OF US.
PEOPLE KNOW.
I CAN EITHER HELP YOU...
OR I CAN SEND YOU BACK
TO YOUR ANCESTORS.
WHICH WAY IS IT
GOING TO BE?
HUH?
COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
RAY!
( chanting )
( rifles cocking )
( drums beating )
( chanting )
THIS LAND
IS NOT FOR SALE.
SHE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN THERE.
SHE WAS, RAY.
SHE WAS THERE.
SO WHAT HAPPENS
TO COOCH NOW?
INTERNAL SECURITY
INVESTIGATION.
YOU MEAN WHITEWASH.
"DO NOT FILE."
BUT I'M GOING TO...
GET A HOLD OF MAGGIE'S
MEDIA CONTACTS.
WE'LL SEE WHAT KIND
OF A STORY WE CAN TELL.
YEAH.
SO NOW THAT YOU'RE
UNEMPLOYED, LITTLE WEASEL
WHERE ARE YOU
GOING TO GO?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THAT.
WHO'S THEY?
YOU KNOW.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE
ANOTHER VISION, DID YOU?
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
CROW HORSE.
IF YOU EVER, UH... NEED
A PLACE TO COME BACK TO...
YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO THE WIND.
WE'LL BE HERE.
LISTEN, UH...
THERE AIN'T NO WORD
IN SIOUX FOR "GOOD-BYE."
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF, RAY.
( chuckling )
