All language subtitles for Blackstone s05e04 Back in the Saddle

Fucking killed her! Previously on
Blackstone.

I'm not locked in prison for 25 fucking
years without putting up a fight.

Want me to leave?

I'll leave. But if I go, I'm not coming
back.

They're auditing both companies.

We'll be lucky if they don't outright
freeze them. I think Daryl needs your

help. Some shit went down and things are
pretty tight with the new club.

Leona has experience.

She's run Blackstone before.

Yeah, into the ground.

Greg and Rita came to see me.

They want me to run for chief.

You all know we need good, solid
leadership.

I want to run for chief.

Don't say Francine.

So good to see you.

Griffin, I, uh... I've been real busy,
and I'm sorry, but I haven't gotten

around to thanking you for hosting
Debbie's wake.

My son Alan thanks you as well.

Look, uh... I'm, uh...

Running for chief again.

And I sure would like your family
support.

I brought some 50s and 20s for you.

You know, just between you and me.

I was very interested in what you had to
say about the communities.

Why did you kill the girl?

I didn't.

Don't lie. You did so.

I realize a girl lost her life, but I
didn't have anything to do with it. What

about the land you bought with the cop?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Why would he tell me that then?

Who?

You know.

Francine, I think you're getting things
on. I don't want to talk to you anymore.

So -called money, dirty

money, dirty tobacco.

You didn't use it right.

Spirit is suffering.

I can tell.

Tell your boy to quit lying and
stealing.

Not to hurt people.

Tell him.

Okay, bye.

Oh, hey.

Thanks for the class the other day.

No problem.

Hi. I'm having a really hard time trying
to finish this.

Do you got any ideas?

Oh, yeah.

My mom really enjoyed your class, too,
you know.

Happy to hear it.

You're supposed to be working on
elongation.

That's a pretty big word.

What does it mean?

It's where you use the whole page to
make things look longer.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I can do that.

How about you show me?

That's not how you elongate.

Oh, fuck. I just started, okay?

What do you expect?

Most artists typically accept feedback
from their peers.

Oh, hey, man.

I'm not an artist.

Everyone's an artist.

See you later.

No, I'll be up there. I had to do
something.

It's just past that big rock.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be there.

All right.

Smokey, holy shit.

You're alive.

Yeah, man, alive and kicking.

Apparently, man.

So what brings you back to Blackstone?

I moved home.

I just can't get enough of this place,
eh? Hey, I'm not the one that said, I'll

never set foot on this fucking mess ever
again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Man, how long has it been?

Ten? Twelve years?

Oh, jeez.

Holy shit, time flies.

Hey, uh, I heard you got a new club
going. Yeah, I do. You should stop by.

Oh, those days are long gone, bro.

Man, look at you.

So you seen the rest of the Stonies yet?

Oh, yeah, yeah. We're a big happy
family. Yeah, I'll bet.

Yeah, a lot's changed.

Mom, sisters.

Sarah's back.

Yeah, you know, yeah.

I'm dating your cousin Gina.

Gina?

What the fuck?

How'd you manage to score that?

Don't you think she's a little out of
your league?

Hey, you know me.

Always a sweet talker.

You got to come by the club, huh?

Come during the day. It's tame, man.

All right.

Sounds good, man.

Hey, you know what?

Next time you're around, come by the
house.

I'll do that.

Good to see you, man. You too.

All right. Take care. Welcome home. All
right. Have a good one, bro. Yeah.

Yeah, all right. No, I got to go right
now. I'm late for a meeting. Okay. All

right. Hey, we're still on for that,
right? Just give me about five minutes.

Okay.

Good morning.

Sorry I'm late.

Andy?

You okay?

Yeah.

I couldn't be better.

Thanks for asking.

So, what's on your mind?

As chief of Blackstone, all I ever
wanted was to find a way for my people

sustain themselves.

We need to put people to work on a
reserve.

Sounds like you want to build a casino.

Hell no.

Golf course?

Kevin, we want to start building log
homes and shipping them around the

Yeah, okay.

I'm serious.

We start with education.

We hire people who specialize in log
homes to teach my people how to

them. And who manages business affairs,
manufacturing?

You? You're not even chief.

As soon as I'm voted back in, We'll set
up distance education and teach anyone

interested how to manage and run a
company.

And so you build timber homes and what?
Then the prefab materials get delivered

and we get a road crew to build them on
site. That's simple.

What's your projected workforce?

We start by training 10, 20, 30 people
and work our way up to 50 or 60 over a

two -year period.

Oh, come on.

That's not very ambitious for you.

Let me tell you something.

50 people gainfully employed on
Blackstone?

That's a big deal.

You know we can only invest up to 50 %
of your funding for any project like

this.

Well, this is brand new.

And investing in Blackstone would be
considered high risk right now.

Come on, Kevin.

You know I can find the money. That's
not going to be a problem.

I'm sure you will.

So I have your support on this?

Like I said, Doug, no news.

No, Greg isn't acting chief.

No, I don't know when the RFP to build
the new band office comes out.

Yeah, hi, Doug. It's Greg.

Hello?

Hello, Doug?

Hello?

Doug again?

How's it going around here?

Well, if you're asking about when the
new band office is being built, the

official answer is we don't know.

No, I'm actually here to ask about the
funding for the two youth programs that

Victor approved.

Well, I'm sorry, but without an acting
chief, no one's getting extended

Council has no signing authority to
approve it.

No, that's not true. Council can push it
forward.

What do you mean?

That VCR was put in place when I was
chief.

Yeah. Rick said that everything that
Victor approved was frozen until a new

chief was elected.

Rick said.

Can you help us out around here?

Yeah, sure.

your sunglasses at night, too?

Oh, my God.

Alan?

What are you doing here?

Just going to class.

Really?

Thought I'd give it another shot.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.

I gotta go. McMillan locks his door at
11 Sharps.

Tell me about it. He was my psych prof
last year.

Let's get a coffee sometime or
something.

I'll meet you back here after your
class.

Okay.

Gotta go.

Each brush stroke tells a little story.

Adds a layer to the piece.

Like an onion.

Maybe more like humans.

Our experiences add layers, and the
artist sifts through those layers to

the story he or she wants to tell.

Blackstone River Valley.

Yeah, it's really good, Mom.

I don't mind.

It's terrible.

I like it.

Thanks for the class.

But all this creativity is making me
tired.

Go get some rest now.

Nurse! It's okay.

Here we go. Up. I'm just tired.

Are you okay?

It's okay.

I'll be right there. I'm just tired.

Sorry. I got this.

I... Are you sure?

Yeah. You should go with your mom.

Okay.

Thank you.

This is bullshit.

I don't know where these girls are. This
guy calls me and says we all fucking

lie. Hey, this is a peeler bar, right?

Yeah. Just wondering, since there's no
fucking peelers.

Why don't you sit down?

I'll get you a beer and a burger and a
voucher for free lap dance when the

come in. Screw that.

I'm going to Diamonds.

I have to call Daryl.

Looks pretty slow for a Friday.

It'll pick up.

Marcus was holding six of our dancers
this week. He says he owned for the last

two weeks.

I'll handle it.

Marcus, what the fuck?

No, everything's cool.

I just need a couple days to straighten
things out.

No, that's total bullshit, Marcus, and
you know it.

No, no, no, you listen to me.

How are you feeling?

I'm dying of cancer.

Can you get me some nice water, please?

Yeah.

My vision is of a sustainable business.

Excuse me.

Where families don't just have jobs,
they have careers.

Are you okay?

We could employ a hundred people.

Can you guys imagine what that would be
like?

Blackstone could be a leader in the
timber home industry.

We're going to need a business plan.

That's right in front of you. I did it
myself.

I based it on comparable models from
other communities.

How do we get this going?

I talked to INAC, and they're on board
whether I'm chief or not. The only thing

is, there's been some policy changes,
and they're only willing to agree to a

% contribution.

How are we going to find that kind of
money?

I already have contacts who are
interested in investing.

Like who?

Well, like respected developers and
construction people who see real

in Blackstone.

I have to be honest.

I don't like it.

Why? Because no one's getting rich?

Which is exactly why it'll work.

This business will be community run.

If there's no hidden bullshit in here
somewhere, I gotta say, it sounds really

good.

The fact is, if we don't do something
right here, right now, for our people,

community will be fucked.

And everyone here knows it.

Are you gonna finish your painting?

Oh, that's not really a painting.

Not yet.

You should finish it.

Why? So you can tell me what I've done
wrong?

Why don't you finish what you started?

I actually don't really have enough time
to be painting.

Make time.

What for?

Because you should be doing something
with your talent.

Talent?

As if.

At least think about it.

You know, maybe I just don't know what
to paint.

Come here.

I bet you've seen some stuff in your
life.

What the fuck does that mean?

That you can say what you need to say
without words.

You know what?

You don't know shit about me.

How'd you do on the test?

My dad might pull me next semester.

Helps if you study.

Maybe I'll try it sometime.

What'd you get?

I didn't get what I wanted, but I pulled
a solid 70.

Cool.

See ya.

See you later.

Hey. Sorry for being a dick.

I just want to know what happened to
your face.

Were you a bad little Indian?

Did daddy stick your face on the stove?

He's just looking at the clock. I know.

That's all I do.

I'll catch up. I'll see you later.

Okay, bye.

Hey.

Hey.

Why'd you blow me off after psych?

Sorry, I got caught up.

What are you saying?

You don't want to talk about it?

Not really.

It might help.

It's nothing.

How about we start over?

Why?

Because I'd like to.

Start what?

Being friends again.

Look at my fucking face.

You want to be friends with that?

Yeah, I do.

Jack's here. Are you paid up?

Better be all there.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Hey, Jack.

Where are all the red pigs?

We're not even open yet.

I'll go get Daryl.

What's really up, big boy?

Nothing.

Square.

Who let this asshole in?

A man!

Tequila!

Yeah, me too.

I'm so cold.

Hey.

Hey.

This is tougher than...

What did you expect?

Who did this?

Who do you think?

Gail, this is really good.

Here. I heard you're running for chief.

Um... Blackstone...

Needs an alternative Tandy.

Yeah, I don't like the way he fucked
with you last time, you know?

I heard that.

Sorry, Mom.

Why don't you help her anyway?

She's gonna need her sister.

I don't know what the hell I could do. I
mean, really?

Yeah.

Being here is more important.

I'm gonna go have a smoke.

That is good shit.

Sure you don't want another one, baby?

Nah, I gotta get going.

Hey, why don't you get up there and
dance for us?

Shit definitely helped.

Seriously? Fuck both of you.

Whoa, we're just pissing around. Babe,
babe, don't be like that.

I'll get up there and shake my ass.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me too.

Oh, crap.

So what's going on here, bro?

What do you mean?

This place is fucking dead.

It's a scheduled mix -up.

That's no bullshit.

I said, fuck him, Marcus.

He's power -playing me on the dancers,
you know? I just, I just gotta go around

him.

You don't need to lie to me, bro.

I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna throw something out there. I
want you to tell me what you think,

Yeah, what?

You obviously need cash.

And I need somewhere to filter cash.

Jumbo.

Look, I can't, Jack.

I got the CRA climbing right up my ass.

Fuck.

Thanks.

This?

I know you need my help.

Look, I mean, even if I considered this,
I'm going to need some conditions.

Huh? Of course.

You're silent.

No bullshit.

No saying the day -to -day.

And no fucking backdooring me, Jack.

your time, bro.

You have your phone

with you?

Yeah, why?

Let me use it.

You're not supposed to use it in here.

I have to go and use their phone.

Yeah.

Who do you have to call?

Mom, who are you calling?

Don't pray.

Hey, hey.

Thanks, Mom.

Hey. Hey.

My jacket.

You smoke?

Yeah. Can I bum one off you?

You smoke?

Working with dying people has its
moments.

I couldn't even imagine being here all
the time.

I'm not.

Three times a week is enough for me.

So actually, I'm here more than you.

It's hard.

I start connecting with people.

Become friends.

See them flourish or at least have a
moment of creativity.

And then they're gone.

That's some heavy shit.

They don't even get to make a choice.

Yeah.

Makes you think about some pretty big
things.

Yeah.

Let's go outside.

Sure.

Hey. Hey.

You took native studies, right?

Yeah.

I'm going to get my ass kicked on my
exam.

Can you help me?

Please.

I'm done for the day if you want to get
started now.

Cool.

I knew you'd come back.

To school?

You're smart, and you know it.

Look smart?

I don't know.

I know.

You think so?

I know you, and you just need to work at
it, just like everyone else.

I'm working at it.

And it's not going to come easy.

When did you get so smart?

It was you.

Yeah, don't I?

No, it's not.

Hey, I'm leaving.

Wait, wait.

Hey,

Jumbo, call the girls on the schedule.

Make sure they're confirmed for Monday.

You got it, boss.

Thanks.

Hey, man, come here.

You say anything to Jack?

About what?

What do you think, Gina?

About me being screwed for cash?

I never said anything to him. Why?

Because he wants it on the club.

And he fucking blindsided me.

I'd never do that.

And how do you find out?

Oh, I wonder.

Just ask Jack.

He's such a bullshitter.

He'll probably fucking lie.

Yep. He's not Jack my bro anymore.

He's into some real dark shit now.

Gina, I've known Jack longer than you've
been alive.

Him and I have been in some serious shit
together.

That's nice and everything, but I'm
telling you, don't fucking do it.

You got 200K?

Cash I can borrow?

We only got two dancers for Monday.

What about the other five?

I couldn't get a hold of them.

You see, Gina?

I don't have a fucking choice.

Oh, look what I found.

All right, so... Shit.

You gotta take the...

Hello.

Hey, son.

I was hoping you'd want to come home and
hang out for a bit today.

I can't. I got a ton of homework.

Oh.

Well, that's all right. You know,
it's...

Yeah.

I'm sorry, son.

Look, uh... Don't worry about it. Just
come over whenever you can.

All right?

Do you need to go?

No, it's cool.

Your dad?

Yeah, he's looking pretty rough lately.
I've never seen him like this.

Some kind of cold or flu?

I don't know.

He never tells me anything.

No, please.

Please don't make me die.

Holy cow, you look like shit.

Blood?

That's not good.

I wonder what is wrong with you.

Shut up.

Maybe all that bad medicine is starting
to poison you.

Fuck you.

What?

I'm just worried.

That coffee got us really bad.

It's just a cold.

What if it's not?

Good thing it's election day.

Might take your mind off of it.

You think you can shut up long enough
for me to take a shower?

Probably not.

Hey, everyone.

Since Andy's not here yet, Leona will be
up to say a few words.

In my short time as chief, many of you
may not have seen the major changes

that took place.

Council and I revised several BCRs and
bylaws.

Those changes led to the transparencies
we see today.

I get to spend a lot of time with our
youth.

They tell me about their struggles and
their triumphs, their fears, their

dreams, sometimes who they're dating or
who they've broken up with.

They teach me more than I ever could
have imagined about being

brave in a world that sets us up for
failure.

They care enough about themselves and
this community to show up to this space

and work on bettering themselves.

We've come a really long way and that
just means we can go further as a

community.

My focus as chief will be on continuing
to grow and heal.

Together.

Young and old.

I apologize for the interruption. Don't
mind me. Just go ahead, please.

Does anyone have any questions?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Do you have any plans for the new band
office?

I will consult with the community before
telling them what they need.

Have you looked at any new funding
models?

No, but I will consult with council and
together we will decide who should be in

charge of that.

You don't have any idea where to find
the money, do you?

Because I do.

Andy, it's not your turn. Can you sit
down?

Actually, it is his turn.

Thank you.

My plan includes a brand new band office

with a learning center attached.

It also includes starting a community
-run business.

What, so more oil and gas testing? No,
no, no, none of that. No more golf

courses, no more casinos.

We're going to build prefab log cabins
and ship them around the world.

How are we going to do that?

Another good question.

We're going to start small.

We're going to start by training labor
-based and admin crews by building one

cabin at a time.

It's been done before, and it's proven
to be both socially and economically

beneficial for the community.

How much do you think we could make?

Average salary is $80 ,000 a year, maybe
even more.

I've already got some major construction
and development companies interested in

investing in us.

The new chief of Blackstone is... Andy
Fraser.

Oh, yeah!

I don't know how you do it.

Congrats, bro.

Really looking forward to seeing this
move forward, Andy.

Right on, Clyde. I appreciate it.

So what do you think?

He's so full of shit.

This is just a smart way of saying he's
going to rip us off again.

Maybe. Maybe not.

It's a good idea, Andy.

If I can help in any way, just let me
know.

Actually, we could really use an
education coordinator.

I thought of you immediately.

Thanks. I'll think about it.

Outstanding.

See you. Thanks for coming by.

Thanks for your support.

Have a lovely day.

Hey, Chief, which companies are
interested in investing?

That's a good question.

I'm still looking for one.

You had me worried.

With all that jail shit, Deb dying, and
I'm getting all burnt up.

Hey, can I consult a new band office?

Actually, I was thinking more along the
lines of project managing.

Sounds like a lot of work.

Well, you see, that's why you get a
junior project manager so they can do

that shit for you.

The pay is double, sometimes triple the
consulting.

And there's incentives if you finish on
time. Like, you can't go wrong.

That sounds good, man.

You're fucking right it sounds good. Oh,
one other thing.

We're going to need a new truck.

It's good to have you back.

Good to be back.
