Original subtitles

Previously on Blackstone.

This is your fucking problem, not mine. I want nothing to do with this.

Hi.

Okay, you're simply not an appropriate candidate.

I simply can't put your application forward.

I already told you I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

Taking my daughter away from me?

I need you to make this go away.

I'll do what I can.

I'm not asking you to do what you can.

I need you to put an end to this.

Nothing can replace her mother.

Someone needs to pour into her life.

Carl, it's a big commitment.

Right now, just land it on me.

Unless you need to land on you, get to sit down here. You are a murderer.

Fuck you!

Andy fucking Fraser.

What are you doing here?

Well, it's about a dancer.

Really?

Okay.

Come with me.

In here.

Hang out in here.

I'll be back.

Yeah, Sid, it's me.

You better get your ass down here.

I knew you were headed for jail, but not this way.

You know, you're like a fucking band member.

You criticize everything I do.

All you have is your brother left.

Now you're even going to fuck that up.

Well, what should I do?

You seem to be the one with all the answers.

You go down, Daryl goes down.

Oh, fuck, here we go.

When you were eight years old, I told you the story about what happened to

uncle. Yeah, he froze to death in the house when his furnace broke down.

That's what the cops said, and we told everyone.

As chief, I was the first one they called.

When I went into the house, I noticed his feet were blue and covered with snow

and ice.

I asked the cop how his feet got snow on them.

He told me he had no idea.

And then I asked him, how did they know to come to his house?

And he told me they received an anonymous call.

Do you know what he said?

That you fucking Indians should pay for your heating bills.

Then he left.

Why didn't you tell anyone?

In those days, it was different to be an Indian.

In these parts, if you're caught off -res without your treaty card, you

go to jail or end up in a fucking snowbank like your uncle.

Look, all I'm saying is...

You better know these cops.

What the hell is going on?

Hutch is going batshit scrambling the ground prostitute here and setting up

recording devices.

I told her I knew some shit about that dead dancer.

No, you don't.

Well, what are you going to tell her? You did it?

That you shot her and buried her in a dump on Blackstone?

Hillett, this is my client now.

And I would have appreciated a phone call.

He just got here, and we're just talking.

You don't need to say a word about me being here, okay?

Don't fuck this up.

So are you charging him? Not yet.

Daniel, he came to us.

Well, now he's leaving with me.

What just happened? What did he say to you?

Nothing.

Some things just never fucking change.

She doesn't like ham, you know.

What? Since when?

Since always.

Wendy, do you like ham?

Yeah.

I thought you didn't like ham sandwiches.

Yes, I do.

And I like those cookies, too.

Can you go brush your teeth?

Yeah.

Um... I was thinking about doing a...

Puppet thing tonight at the rec center. You know, for the kids.

Puppets? Yeah, you know, like that guy that came last year with the really

puppets? Bad idea.

What do you mean?

Yeah, what do you know about performing?

You'd be surprised.

You ready?

Yeah. Did you brush your hair?

No.

Why not?

You said brush your teeth.

No, no, I said brush your teeth and comb your hair.

No, you didn't.

Yeah, I did.

No, she didn't.

Lucky. I'm good at hair.

So, um, I got a surprise for you tonight.

What is it?

Oh, you're going to love it.

Did you know that I'm a hairdresser?

Yeah, I used to brush Natalie's hair all the time. Ouch, that hurts.

Give me more.

Oh, sorry, Wendy.

That was an accident.

Are you going to take Wendy to Mom's?

Yeah. Okay, do you want to see Wilma? Yes, can we go now?

Soon.

Gail and I have to go see Marilyn first. Do you remember Marilyn?

I have to leave.

You got this?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

Okay.

Bye.

I'll be nice.

How are we supposed to get anything done? There's no chief here. He'll be in

tomorrow.

Maybe Friday.

Probably order his brother's new strip bar.

Victor, why are you even here?

What's Ned doing here?

You know he's replacing Edgar.

And his cousin.

How convenient.

Why don't you leave, Victor?

This is a calculable matter.

We want to vote.

Victor can't vote.

This reserve needs leadership.

And Andy's never here.

And there's no confidence in the current leadership.

He won an all -confidence vote.

You know we'll be split down the middle.

And I'm the swing, so forget it. It's not going to happen.

Let's have a new election, then.

You can't have an election every time something doesn't go your way, Victor.

Go my way?

The chief's wife left him. And he's involved in a murder with a stripper he

screwing. So?

Your wife left you?

Do you know what people are saying about Blackstone?

We just want to keep the services going.

We need to do something.

Okay.

Why don't we set up council oversee committee bylaw? This way we can govern

essential services for the community when Andy's absent without an election.

Only if Victor's the chair.

Okay. Let's vote on this.

Victor, get out.

What do you think of Victor pissing around with Ben Paltix?

I won't let him play chief.

And in the meantime, I'll just keep him busy with some bullshit stuff.

Housing.

We'll make him head of housing and infrastructure.

And he will love it.

Yeah. Good idea.

I don't know if I fucked up, but I did it.

He's the only one who can run this reserve.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Uh -oh.

Bend over a little bit more.

Arch your back.

That's it. Yeah, like that.

Yeah.

How's that?

Yeah? Is that better?

No. I need you to shut up.

Shut up?

Stop looking at me. You're freaking me out.

Oh, okay.

Do you want me to turn around?

The fuck are you staring at?

Nothing.

Right now, everything's still circumstantial. There's no real hard

I don't even think it'll make it to discovery.

Then why aren't they dropping the charges?

Because this is a high -profile case and the pressure's huge.

The crowd is basically just posturing to placate the press and the family.

That's it.

What exactly is the plan here?

I'm just going to have to ride it out.

That's the fucking plan?

Ride it out?

Hey, Eddie's right.

There's nothing much we can do.

Gentlemen?

Anyone want to watch a video?

This is courier to my office.

Why don't you sit down and relax, Ken?

You want a drink?

No, I don't.

Hey, Sid.

Why don't you take a walk?

Yeah.

I'll call you later.

Just no drinking, stupid.

We need to expand.

Blackstone might not be the best place for expansion.

I thought it was going good over here.

New rec center, new blood on council.

And he's still the chief.

We can cut Andy out. We don't need him. If you get council and community

support, we can bypass him altogether.

I don't know, Joe.

You bring this to Blackstone, the community will respond.

Jobs, opportunity.

And we're making big money.

So, what are you looking for from Blackstone?

This is a problem.

I'm going to have to take care of it.

What are you going to do?

Who sent it?

We know who sent it, and it's not going to be a problem.

Why did they send it to me? He just told you it's not going to be a fucking

problem. I don't know what the fuck is going on here, but you do understand

this means, don't you?

25's a life for both of you. Don't you fucking give me any of that bad cop shit

around here again, or you and I are going to have a conversation.

A conversation?

Yeah, a conversation.

know who sent this.

We'll take care of it. You better take care of it, because if anyone else sees

it, we're all fucked.

Look, it's not gonna be a problem.

Now, why the fuck aren't those charges being dropped?

We need to better figure this out by tomorrow, or I'll have no choice but to

handle it myself.

Look, I'll take care of Jumbo.

You deal with Hewis.

Hewis won't do shit.

Really? Yeah.

Really.

Victor, this is going to be good for Blackstone.

I'm not sure I'm the one who could do it.

Well, who else is going to step up? Darcy?

Crooked.

Well, we're going to need somebody with Darcy's experience, a lawyer with a

business background.

No way.

What about a lawyer from the city?

Talk about crooked.

I'll talk to Darcy.

I know he's not that tight with Andy and I can keep an eye on him.

I know his father.

Okay.

I guess I have to trust you.

I've only been making bad decisions lately anyway.

Don't worry about what people are saying about you and Gloria.

Relationships end.

You tried to make it work and it didn't work out.

You're better off without her.

but that doesn't change who you are in this community.

A great father, a role model, and yet, a leader.

You ready?

Yeah, like 10 minutes.

Okay, one more.

Did you brush your teeth?

Yes, 20 minutes ago.

Okay, um, where's your backpack?

Okay, um... Oh, shit.

Sorry. I'll be right back.

Uh -oh. Where's the new chief?

Chief my ass.

I swear I don't have these little meetings.

Play chief.

Think she's a stallion.

But he's just a gilding.

Why aren't you at the band meeting?

I'm done with reserve politics. I'm where I should be.

Do you think Andy's brother killed that stripper?

I don't know.

Maybe we can talk about it with the group.

Yeah, my boyfriend and his friends would love that.

They're coming?

Well, hopefully.

They're kind of freaked out about counseling, but I invited them anyway.

Well, that's all you can do.

They might show.

There's still time.

How are things going with you and Alex?

I think good.

He's straightening out.

His friends are still kind of tweakers.

But he's trying.

Tammy, is there something you have to tell me?

No. No, they would never do that here.

They're more like weekend warriors.

Okay, we have zero tolerance for that here.

I know.

And they know.

Okay.

So where is he living?

We live together.

Just kind of working out.

He's really trying to change.

Well, good.

That's good. Change is good.

Everybody, please, can we get started?

We'll keep this short, because I know we all want to watch the hockey game

tonight.

Where's Chief?

Who knows?

As head of the newly appointed Oversea Committee, Victor has some issues he'd

like to bring up with the community.

What's an Oversea Committee?

Victor's angling for chief.

The north dump where the dead body was found is still a problem, and we are

looking into it, and we plan to have new wells created within the next few

weeks. Well, what are you talking about, Victor?

The dump's been excavated, and the new wells have been servicing the north

reserve for weeks.

And a transfer station for the new dump is complete.

It should be fully functional by the end of the month.

I wasn't given the update on that.

Next item of business is Bredner's construction and Andy's involvement in

ownership. The rec center has come in under budget, and we were able to buy

new hockey gear for the Peewee and Bantam teams.

Sitting around is going to kick Blackstone's ass tonight.

Fifty bucks says Blackstone takes it by two goals.

You're on.

Andy doesn't own any of Bredner.

This community is directly benefiting from the relationship with Fredner.

Maybe you should sit down and let me handle this. Next item is the housing

crisis on the reserve.

Who here needs somewhere to live?

Sit down already, Victor.

Maybe you should handle this next time.

Many of you know Chief Joe from Sitting Rock. He's here to talk about an

economic opportunity for Blackstone.

Boo!

We're going to kick your ass tonight.

I think it's going to be a good game.

Victor and Darcy have asked me here to discuss our manufactured home business

and how it's brought revenue and jobs to Sitting Rock.

Sit down.

What's up, boss?

So why?

Why what?

What were you thinking?

You didn't do anything.

This shit is taking too long.

Why should he go to jail for him?

So, if he goes to jail, where the fuck am I going, huh?

You think you're just going to let me walk?

I'm in the video, too.

I hate that prick, and he's getting away with it.

All he does is fuck things up and ruin everything for the people around him.

You know, you're so smart.

Now you're involved, Jumbo.

Ah, it's too late.

One of us goes down, we all go down.

Okay, let's talk about it.

Why do you do drugs?

I don't know why I do drugs.

I just do.

Because it's there.

And then everyone's doing it.

So it's easy.

You know why I used to do drugs?

It's because I was bored.

Just bored and lonely.

But now that I have Tammy and the baby, it's like things are different.

You're not going to be bored.

What are you saying, Alex?

We're boring?

Yeah. No.

That's not what I was saying. I was just saying that I felt empty and alone.

Fuck you.

Fuck you and your bitch and your baby.

Fuck this, I'm fucking out of here.

Fucking... I

think what Alex was trying

to say is that Tammy's made his life better,

more fulfilled.

He's found a purpose, a future to focus on, and that has nothing to do with you

guys. And you guys can have that too, right?

You've got to fill your time with things that matter to you.

That can be anything.

Sports, hobby, family, girlfriend,

even friends, healthy friends.

I want you guys to remember that you are not alone even when you feel like you

are.

This community has so many resources for you now.

The community center and the rec center have programs going almost every night.

And, of course, you can talk to me anytime.

Oh, you don't have to do this, detective.

But I think it's safe to say that you've got to play ball if you want to win the

game.

This is advice.

Something Deaton didn't understand about homicide.

I get it.

That won't be a problem.

Because not everyone is always on the same team around here.

I understand.

Good.

All right. Talk later?

Sure. Chief?

So where are we at?

Well, I got rid of that video.

What do you mean you got rid of it? Who was it?

I'm sick of that. Don't tell me.

Ellis, Hotch is still at forensics running tests.

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Great. Thanks very much.

So what's going on?

They still don't have any hard evidence, right?

Well, fuck, Ken. Spit it out.

Hutch seems to think she's found new usable prints to match from the dump

They're being tested in the lab right now.

From the body.

The fucking gun.

Why now?

She won't give up.

I thought you had all this shit taken care of.

Ever since Deacon got transferred, she's become unstoppable. She's re -examining

evidence, statements, reports.

And last week, she took Fresh Prince from your truck.

Fuck.

What have you got there?

Uh, the, uh, puppet show.

I didn't know you did puppets.

Well, I don't, but I'm trying something new.

These kids are a little old for a puppet show.

Well, I don't think so.

I mean, it's going to be fun. It's going to be okay.

You should stick to cutting hair.

Or whatever.

What's that?

Um, it's a puppet.

I'm going to...

Do a show. What do you think?

I think I want to play soccer.

Well, I'm going to do a show for all the kids.

That's okay.

I want to play soccer.

The kids are going to love this, Wendy.

No, they won't.

Can you just give this a try?

I don't want to.

It's going to be fun.

No.

Natalie, get your ass back here.

You know, we could look for somebody else.

What do you mean, look for someone else?

Find someone else to pin it on.

Oh, it's that easy for you, is it?

If it's easy as the case against you, if Hutch gets a hold of those results, I

mean, there's only so much I can do.

What about Platt? I thought he was working this case.

I don't know about him. He's a wild card.

Give me the name of somebody who's on a one -way track to nowhere.

In and out of the system, lost cause, somebody no one will miss.

You know, a convict from Blackstone.

Just give me a name, and I'll take care of the rest.

I can't fucking do it.

25's a life, Andy.

Can you do that?

Is it good to see you, Tim?

Oh, that's me. I gotta get going.

Thanks, Fiona.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, Tony.

What do you think?

Sorry about my friends.

They're kind of hardcore.

Nothing I can handle. And I've seen worse, trust me.

It's kind of weird talking about this shit.

Nothing wrong with talking.

If my stepdad knew that I was seeing a counselor, a chick counselor, no

he would probably beat the shit out of me.

Then he'd call me a weak little crybaby.

So, where is he now?

He's in jail.

Right.

So that's simple then.

Look at where he is and look where you are.

And the reality is that you decide who you are.

You coming tomorrow?

Yeah.

Hey, um, can you talk to Tim?

That shit with Phil really messed him up. He barely even says anything

Yeah. I'll try to talk to him.

And hey, invite your buddies back.

Okay.

When I started law school, we didn't have computers or smartphones.

Oh, bullshit, Bob. It was only ten years ago.

Didn't Uncle Ray teach you?

One of my classes, Native Jurisprudence.

Too bad he gave it up, though. He was a great prof.

Was? He's back teaching.

Oh, he left Blackstone.

Well, when I left, he left.

I think he really missed it.

Mom, Sheila and I are going to meet up for dinner on campus after school.

Do you want to meet up?

No, there's a new pub that just opened.

Um, no thanks. I think I'll stay home and cook dinner for your aunt.

Dinner? What's that?

I won't be home until 9 or 10.

Well, I gotta go.

Don't you have class?

Uh, not till later.

I'm sure you're out of class now.

I dropped it till next semester.

Oh.

Okay, well, let's meet after.

It's Andy.

Don't answer it.

He'll leave.

So, do you have to get back to work?

About 15 minutes.

Well, don't worry. I'll clean up. Oh, thanks.

He'll leave. Oh, shit.

Debbie, I need to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to you. Come on. Just give me five minutes.

Talk to your mother, and I need to talk to her now. I'll wait. Just leave.

If I were you, I'd watch my step -young man.

Or what?

You can pull my head through a wall, cut me off.

You don't have control of us anymore, so just leave. I said I need to talk to

your mother. Well, she doesn't want to talk to you. Look, you got about three

seconds to get out of the way before I fucking smack you.

Okay, okay, okay.

Fuck with me, Junior. Watch what happens. Honey, I will deal with this.

I will deal with this.

I got it. I'll be okay.

For fuck's sake, Sandy.

Look, I'm sorry.

He got out of line.

I don't want to hear it.

Hello, Mom.

Who's there?

It's Wendy.

Who?

Wendy and Gail.

You're getting so big.

What are you eating?

Food. Feels like rock.

You can go downstairs.

Okay.

Hey. Hey.

Want some tea?

There's snacks in here, juice boxes.

Not sure how long we'll be.

That's no problem. I'm here all day.

You want to have supper after?

I don't know. Let's see how long it takes. You know, DFS.

What's going on?

It's just hard.

What's hard?

I don't feel like I'm doing a very good job with Wendy.

Maybe you're trying too hard.

She loves you and she loves Leona. I don't even think she likes me. Knock

that stupid talk.

What? I think she's just sick of me.

Did you think it was going to be easy?

It takes time to heal from years of self -abuse.

Sober Gail is a shitty mom.

Raising kids is hard work, especially someone else's child.

You're right.

It's just that I'm trying my hardest here, you know, and it's not working.

Yes, it is.

That little girl is way better off than she was before.

You remember that?

A sober deal is a hell of a lot better than a drunk deal.

Give it some time.

Okay.

Did you make the payment on Allen's University?

Yeah, last week.

And his rent?

He's paid up two months.

And what about my account?

That'll be transferred this week.

Deb, I want you to come back home.

Really?

So we can all be one big happy family?

You gotta know I had nothing to do with that murder.

Okay.

So you weren't screwing her.

No.

Daryl was.

Oh, so he killed her.

I don't know who killed her, Deb.

How stupid do you think I am?

No, it's over. Go fuck all the strippers you want.

Can't the two of us just calm the fuck down and figure this out together?

If it wasn't you or Daryl, who was it?

Who buried someone in a Blackstone dump?

Oh, get the fuck out.

So, how's Wendy doing?

Oh, she is doing really good.

I think she's really getting used to it.

Does she ask about her mom?

Every once in a while.

She'll ask when her mom is coming home.

Mostly at bedtime.

We just say we're not sure because, I mean, what do you say?

It's a tough one.

You have to be careful you don't give her false hope.

Do you think a child her age understands false hope?

You'd be surprised.

Well, the important thing, of course, is that she has a safe and healthy

environment to grow up.

Oh, she does. I mean, she does have that.

We're doing really good.

So, Gail, how's it going?

What would you mean? Am I still sober?

She's more than sober, and she's doing great with Wendy.

We both are.

I'm sure you are.

These are questions I have to ask, because the judge is going to ask them,

more.

You know, I'm doing the best I can.

Why don't you two go on ahead?

It's room 226 on the second floor.

I'll be right there. Thanks.

What's the problem, Harold?

Your condescending tone is inappropriate.

These two women are the best thing that's happened to Wendy in a long time.

A recovering alcoholic?

Taking on a foster child for money? I mean, how many times have you seen that

sideways? Come on, this is very different. Her own mother is a fully

alcoholic and missing who knows where, and that's better? Look, I have no doubt

with regard to Leona, but it's Gail who's spending most of the time with

Gail is doing fine.

Sure, until she's not.

And then what happens?

Most of these cases, we have to remove the child, take her to the hospital,

a new placement.

This is not most cases.

Now you need to back off and start supporting these two.

I hope you're right.

Are you fucking kidding me?

No.

They have the gun, they have the body, they have the motive, and they have the

video.

Now they're going to be able to match prints from my fucking truck.

Who has told you this?

Dirty prick.

He just wants a name.

Why can't he just bury this?

If it wasn't for him, he'd be locked up right now.

And what's the fucking deal between you two?

We just want a name.

So some whore bastard will go to jail for life.

Well, it's either that or you and I get stuck doing 15 to 20.

Yeah, I'd probably only do 10.

Boy, you're real fucking funny, Daryl. You think I want this?

You trust Hillis?

We have no other choice.

That's not what I'm asking you.

Yeah, I do.

I want my life back.

Not right now, honey.

I thought that honey was your favorite.

Oh, no.

It was a blonde with the little hips.

Her name's Dawn, and I don't have favorites.

I thought Deb was your favorite.

You know, that's the first sensible thing I think I've ever heard come out

your mouth.

I sure fucked that up.

It's not over.

Keep telling yourself that.

What do you want from me?

You trust Ellis?

I have to.

Have I ever told you the story about your uncle?

Yeah, two days ago.

Well... You're getting old, Dad.

There's something I didn't tell you.

The cops' hatred for our people ran deep, and not just to one generation.

They mostly saw it as a problem they didn't want to deal with.

He tried to bury us, one way or another.

I know Hillis, and I knew his dad.

Miss Tony, I understand the miner, Wendy Bull, has been living with you and has

been for several months.

Yes, Your Honor.

In your words, how would you describe the situation?

I would say that Wendy has adapted nicely to our home.

And I believe that she is happy and content.

Can I ask who is sitting next to you?

This is my sister, Gail.

Hi.

Wendy's mother, Tracy,

she still has made no contact whatsoever.

No, Your Honor.

Is the assigned caseworker present?

Yes, Your Honor.

Is it your opinion...

That there is no family or relatives that are suitable or willing to take in

Wendy? I've made many attempts to contact related family with no success.

Is it your recommendation that Ms. Stoney be granted guardianship of Wendy?

It is, Your Honor.

Ms. Stoney, is it your desire to be the legal guardian of Wendy, knowing the

full extent of the responsibilities and legal obligations?

Yes. It is my ruling to grant you legal guardianship of Wendy.

Wendy will reside with you in your residence.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Miss Stoney, I would like to take a moment and commend you for stepping up

taking such a meaningful role in Wendy's life.

I would like to see more of this, so on behalf of the Crown,

Thank you.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Are you

sure

he's still here?

He'll be here.

So as far as names go, I was thinking about the name Champ.

Because that way he'll always be the champ, you know? Well, yeah, it's going

be a boy.

She says it's an it, and it's a girl.

Tim,

can I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

Are you Alexander Henry?

Yeah. You're under arrest for the murder of Rachel Wellesley.

What?

What? What's going on?

Go, let's go.

What the fuck are you doing here?

You bastard! What are you doing?

You bastard! Let him go!

We'll figure this out.

Deep breath.
