Dee and Fellis drive to see Daryl, whose uncle runs the tribal museum, so they can get the alarm code for the museum from him. Dee fears that Fellis has ulterior motives for visiting Daryl, though, because Daryl propositioned Fellis’s young cousin, Alice. Fellis physically assaults Daryl, and then he and Dee steal some of Daryl’s drugs and leave without acquiring the code.
Dee and Fellis head to the methadone clinic and then back to Fellis’s house, where Dee is now living because he’s in a fight with his mother. Dee and Fellis discuss their plan to rob the tribal museum and sell their plunder for quick money, wondering how they might accomplish this without the alarm code. Fellis decides he’ll break in without the code. While Fellis does this, Dee spies on his mother though the windows of her house, takes more pins, and eventually flees when he sees that the tribal police are at Fellis’s house. He ends up on Ralph Nelson’s property and hides in Ralph’s sweat lodge. When the police come by, Ralph covers for Dee and then offers him food and money.
The next day, Dee, now in withdrawal from methadone, returns to his mother’s house.
