Original subtitles

Previously on Blackstone.

Well, it's clearly child abuse. No, let's not go assuming I saw what I saw.

know this is a reserve, but there are laws, right?

This was the deal.

You bring in cash contractors, you get a piece of this place, and you get a

piece of this place.

But right now, brother, you're slipping in your own shit.

What the fuck are you doing with her?

Who, Sheila? Yeah.

She's just helping me with school.

Why do you need help?

I need to know what's going on.

You can tell me.

Chase made the girl.

What do you want?

It's regarding Tim.

Where's that little fucker gone now?

How do you need to file a rape kit?

Someone's made into someone else's best interest to ignore your problems.

You're just another Indian that'll die in a ditch.

was doing all these interviews with people.

I'd like to take that with me.

Yeah, of course.

I gotta talk to Tim.

Where is he?

He's at school.

Why? What were you thinking?

It's rare that these kids are willing to speak out.

I just want to sit down with him.

Have a talk. Off the record.

Phil Henry liked women. We both know that.

Either this kid's lying or Phil's more fucked up than I thought.

The shit I see in downtown, nothing's a surprise.

If Tim's telling the truth, I'm gonna have to consider Phil a suspect with

Natalie.

Children suffering from people killing people.

And I'm on my knees.

Washing my clothes.

Maybe I should have just died right then and there, huh?

and someone to clean this up right away.

Tell them what you told me.

What happened, Tim? Who did this to you?

It was my aunt.

She got drunk.

Said I was ruining everything.

She won't hurt you no more.

You have my word.

I want to ask you a couple of questions.

I know you answered these last night with the other officers, but I want to

you myself.

As someone who knows you, okay?

Did your aunt know that your uncle was hurting you?

Did your uncle hurt anyone else?

I don't know.

If he did, it's important that we know.

Did your uncle hurt anyone else, Tim?

Phil, Henry's your cousin.

That little shit's mine. There's no fucking way Phil would do that.

Would he?

No.

Where does Leona get off having him hauled away in handcuffs?

Making us look bad?

Don't worry about Leona.

Her days are numbered.

Oh, never mind that.

I'm now too embarrassed to go to the goddamn grocery store.

What a fucking mess this has become.

All because you were too goddamn arrogant.

Taking votes for granted.

Debbie, I told you before, everything will be back to normal in a little

And it will.

You just have to trust me for once.

Please.

Well, then let me help.

You're such a peach.

I know.

Crystal, can we talk to you?

Why don't you and your friends Go fucking power trips someplace else and

me the fuck alone.

Tim showed up at school today very badly beaten.

What happened?

How should I know?

Maybe... Maybe he... Maybe he fell on his way there.

Oh, he's been a clumsy little fucker.

I would think you might be concerned about him being your nephew after all.

I hate my nephew.

So what do I care, huh?

What do you think?

Nothing.

Fuck off, chief.

I couldn't get a laugh out of her.

Maybe you could try?

Thanks.

Hey, Cecil.

Hey, yourself.

Leona thought you should have this.

She'll be coming by later this afternoon.

But, uh...

Clown outside.

Reminded me of a good story I heard.

There's this clown and cops pulled him over for speeding.

And he was telling the cop how irate parents get when he's late.

And the cop stops writing the ticket and he says, my kid has a birthday coming

up.

Maybe this ticket shouldn't happen.

Because he understands.

And the cop looks at him, well, are you any good?

He said, yeah.

Well, show me your stuff.

So the clown gets out of the car and goes to the trunk.

Gets these juggling pins out. And he stands out there on the road and he

juggling. Just then, these bros from the Reds are flying by there.

And one of them says, man.

These roadside sobriety tests are getting tougher all the time.

Been there, done that.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Marilyn.

Pretty volatile.

Yeah.

Right.

Right. We're going to place Tim in a motel for now.

Why a motel? Why are you taking him off the reserve?

I'm sorry, but it's the law.

And right now, there's nowhere else to house him. It's just temporary. Just

down.

We can find somewhere for him here.

Apparently, some things have come to light about the uncle that I just can't

into right now. But the boy's testimony has become a priority concern.

What do you mean?

What's going on?

My supervisor will call you.

I'm sorry.

It's all I can say.

I'll take him.

Wherever he needs to go, I'll take myself.

That's against policy.

No, let me make myself very clear here.

No one is coming onto this reservation and removing anyone without my say.

If he's to go into child services care, I will take him myself. It's hard enough

on the kid as it is.

Okay. I'll get it arranged.

Aw, jeez.

Thanks for coming, Cecil. It means a lot.

No thanks, necessarily.

It's good.

Having a good visit?

Yeah, yeah, we are. And are you family?

Yeah. Yeah, he's family.

Your blood sugar is too high.

I'll run another blood test, but it's pretty clear you're diabetic.

I'm starting you a metformin right away.

I am concerned about your kidneys.

There's no question you've abused them.

I'll put you on dialysis for a few days.

get you healthy.

But I can assure you if you continue as you are, chances are very probable that

your kidneys will fail.

You're playing with your life now, Gail, and you're going to need to make some

changes.

We'll start by addressing your diet and get you on an exercise regime, but

absolutely no alcohol.

Work with me and we'll get your blood sugar count down.

You should get some rest now.

I'll check in on you later.

There's only so much I can do.

And quite frankly, all these schemes you're concocting make me uncomfortable.

I can be disbarred.

You're listening to me, you cocksucker.

Your old man made a lot of money off my so -called schemes.

I put you through law school, you little prick.

Now get out of here and earn your money.

We're still here.

Get the fuck out of here!

Did you check the accounts?

There's nothing we can divert to you.

What little money there is has controls attached.

How's the fallout with my cousin?

Phil Henry?

Yes, Phil Henry. What's going on with him?

A lot of people are upset.

Well, what about this teacher that Tim talked to? Leona's friend. What's her

story? Chief, I don't know anything about her.

See, this is a shit we don't need. Some fucking outsider sniffing around where

they don't belong.

Who knows who she'll talk to next or what she'll say.

Look, I know somebody down at the school board that owes me a favor.

So hopefully she won't be sticking her nose into our business anymore.

Hopefully.

Okay. Priority one for this meeting is we get a new lawyer.

And screw what Rick and Leonard say.

We need someone we're sure has no prior ties to Blackstone.

And then we get the money back from Walt Andrew Chuck for failing to do anything

for the rec center. We'll get that project back on track.

Excuse me.

Is this boring you?

Oh, Vic, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm not hearing a million things on my mind.

I can't stop thinking about Tim and moving him away after he's been through

much.

I gotta go see Gail.

I'm really worried about her.

She was in rough shape when I took her in.

Okay.

Look, you go.

And if you don't make it back in time, I'll deal with the council.

You sure?

Yeah.

Don't say anything about Tim in front of Rick and Leonard, though.

Thank you.

Hey, boys.

Hey. Who's that?

That's her starter.

Oh, yeah? What's her name?

I don't know yet.

Goes by the stage name Tricky Nicky.

It was Miss Beach Blanket Bimbo or something.

Well, tell Angel she's got some competition.

Yeah.

All right, honey.

That's great.

Take five, all right?

Come on, be a bro. Grab us a couple beers, will you?

What's going on?

Well, looks like the shine is slowly wearing off our brand new chief.

Never mind the $100 ,000 that went missing that she couldn't explain.

Now you can go fucking the dog around here and go back to work.

All right. Get that money train back on track.

All right.

You know what I'm going to do?

What you going to do?

I'm going to convince the council.

To declare a vote of non -confidence.

And I'm going to run for chief again.

But I'll need some insurance.

And that means... About $40 ,000.

To remind people of the old days, you know?

Fuck. You laugh at me.

It's not enough you're fucking my dancers.

Now you want to fuck me?

Again?

Andy. How many times have I picked up the pieces from your shirt things once

they go to shit?

We owe a lot of money on this expansion, Andy, and I need you to stay focused on

that. That's what I'm doing, Darryl.

Well, I hope so.

Because I don't want to deal with the guys that are holding the paper on this.

And trust me, brother, neither do you. I'm not asking you to.

Then what the fuck are you asking me?

Look.

Can you help me get it from the old man?

Are you for fucking real?

The old man's off limits and you know it. Man, you've got some fucking nerve.

Listen, if you can't come up with your share, fucking say so.

I'll get a new partner.

I got no problem with that.

You feel like talking for a bit? Would that be all right?

What kind of music do you listen to?

I'm going to do everything I can to help you, Tim.

The motel is just so we can place you somewhere safe for the time being, okay?

You know, if we had known sooner that Natalie was abused...

We could have helped her.

So I want you to know that you're doing the right thing, even though it may not

seem like it right now.

Why are people mad at me?

Who's mad at you?

My aunt.

The kids at school.

Well, they're wrong.

There's no reason anyone should be mad at you, Tim.

You are doing the right thing.

And in time, you'll see that. I promise you.

Do I have to go back to Blackstone?

Do you want to?

Why is the old man off limits?

Family money helping a family business.

This ain't a fucking family business.

I built this club on my own.

And I didn't need to suck on the tit of Blackstone to get it.

It's a fucking privilege you've been offered a share in it.

Fuck.

All I'm asking for is a loan.

I'll pay it back next week. Now will you fucking help me out?

You're fucking on me.

Why should we even give two shits about you, Andy?

It's not about me.

It's about us.

Fuck it is.

The fact is, the second he fucking got sick, you ran against him and stole his

fucking life. No, that's not the way it happened, and you fucking know it.

He got sick, and you wouldn't listen.

He should have supported me, but he didn't.

He lost half his fucking foot, for Christ's sakes.

I kept Cecil out of that band office, and what did I get for it? I got shit. I

got fuck all.

Yeah, well, you both got your own sad fucking stories, don't you? And I don't

want to hear fucking any of it.

Joe, man, it's my concern.

As long as I'm taking care of him, that's the way it's going to be.

You even know he's back in the hospital, Andy?

Do you even know that?

Like I said, you quit giving a fuck years ago.

Are they coming?

You know this is just temporary until they find a foster home to place you in,

right?

Cool.

I can come and check in with you tomorrow if you want.

Hey, Tim.

This is Brenda.

Hi. She's working with us. She's going to stay with you.

Make sure you're taken care of. All right?

Okay. Let's go inside.

Come on. I got a room for you.

Oh, I'm going to take this call.

I'll be right in, okay? Okay. Room 225. Thanks.

Come on up. Hello?

Hey, Stu. Look, I'm in the middle of something. Can I... I gotta go see Gail.

Well, why can't you tell me now?

All right.

Yeah, okay. You know what? Just let me finish up here, and I'll be right there.

All right.

I'm just saying, it was her password that was used, and now we're out 100K?

I mean, that's not something we can just ignore. And why is she always in the

city? Those cops crawling on the res, they should be investigating her.

You know, people can change around that kind of money.

Speaking from experience, I don't believe you guys.

I know for a fact it wasn't her.

Victor's right.

Leona ain't stole shit.

I have to say, I'm getting frustrated.

Let me be clear.

I absolutely support her.

And maybe if you two would start working with her instead of against her all the

time, we could get on with doing the business that membership elected us to

Look, guys, I don't mean to trash her, but we can all see

she's incompetent. She should have walked before she ran.

Try it for counsel first.

She's not here because she's doing what the chief is supposed to be doing.

Taking care of her community and her people.

Not trying to rip them off like Andy did.

Not using the council simply as a means to divert band funds to sleazes like

Walt Andrew Chuck supposedly building us a rec center.

What was Andy's share on that contract? I'd like to know that.

At least Leona put a stop to that.

And yeah, maybe creating change has been slow.

But that's because it's taken so long just to clean up the mess that the band

affairs have been in for so long.

Look, I can't afford to keep paying for your truck every time it breaks down

because you won't look after it. Whatever.

Don't get fucking lippy with me.

Hey.

You in town?

Yeah.

Yes.

I don't know.

Okay, okay.

Look, I've got my son here. I've got to go.

See you.

Look, I can't come in. I've got to go.

It's all right. I'll get a ride.

We'll order it after.

Alan.

Don't worry about the truck.

I'll take care of it.

Okay. You sure?

Yeah.

They ran his DNA twice.

I have no question it's him.

Is he remanded until trial?

He's not going anywhere.

This is as far as I can take this.

I'm out of bounds as it is.

I'll get you the prosecutor's info so you two can connect.

Thanks, Tim.

Thank you for everything.

How's Tim?

Oh, scared.

His testimony will be important.

Can you do that?

Testify?

I hope so.

If she doesn't testify, who will?

You know, maybe me and your dad were luckier than most.

The nuns took care of us.

They didn't have that arrogant, superior attitude.

Even though we...

graduated into that nothingness.

The limbo, as I call it.

Still, our spirits hadn't been destroyed as badly as some of them.

Well, why do you call it that, the limbo?

Because we were confused.

Didn't know who we were.

Neither brown or white.

They had stripped us of our culture.

dislocated us from family and community, gave us nothing back.

We were so ill -prepared to be the little white men they wanted us to be.

You know, we spent more time in the fields as a free labor force than

we did as students in the classroom.

You know, my dad, he never...

Talk to me about that, Limbo.

He had his dark times.

But he fought his demons.

He reconnected to who he was.

And he knew that all of us could reclaim ourselves, our community.

And he led Blackstone well as a chief.

Yeah, yeah. No.

I'm not going to make it back.

I need those files, though, for tomorrow.

Chris.

You all right?

They found out who raped Natalie.

The same bastard we arrested for raping his nephew.

Shit. They got him.

Chris.

I've known this guy my entire life.

He's been on the res doing this this whole time. I mean, who knows what else

he's done.

Who else has he hurt?

What can I do?

Why don't you stay after you see Gail?

I've already missed another council meeting. I have to get back and deal

the fallout from that. I just... I don't know what to do.

It just isn't... It doesn't... Stop.

It's too much for one person.

Please, it's tearing you apart.

Please, stop.

Look,

you want your daughter to go to college, right?

Yeah.

And look at this piece of shit.

You want a real truck?

I mean, look at it.

New truck to drive your daughter in.

Oh, yeah.

Just make sure the whole family votes the right way.

The smart way. Okay.

Okay? Have a nice day.

And then there are guys like Tom Frazier.

Who were abused and fell under the spell of the priests.

With their hateful attitude towards us.

You know, I don't think Tom even liked native people.

That's why it was so easy for him to corrupt those who had already given up

themselves.

Then he became chief after your father died.

Then as chief...

He went about betraying us while he lined his own

pockets.

And my son's learned well, too, huh?

It broke my heart to watch what was happening to Andy.

And now, I know Leona's trying her best, but a

lot of the damage has been done.

Maybe that's why I'm talking to you now.

Please, do not self -destruct.

Whatever piece you're looking for is not at the bottom of that bottle.

Believe me, it is not there. I know.

I looked many, many times.

You know, if you look really deep inside, you will find that

you have your father's strength and determination.

I know it.

Yeah. I'll pass that on to Andy, no problem.

Oh, he'll make it happen. You can count on that.

Thanks for your support.

Make sure you air that stuff out.

Yeah, I will.

What's up?

I'm making a peafong house for your father.

Impressive.

How's camp going?

Really good.

Getting that scoring touch back.

Impressive.

Did your father stay and watch?

No. He had to go take care of something.

Again.

Oh.

Anyway, gotta go. Well, hey, hey, hey, hey. Let me make you something first.

Aren't you hungry?

Sheila's waiting.

Oh.

He knows you're seeing her, right?

Well, kind of.

He knows that I see her about to pull my stuff.

About a year.

No, he doesn't know that I'm seeing her.

You want me to talk to him?

I don't want to make a big deal about it.

I'll talk to him.

All this bullshit from the past is getting old anyway.

Once we get Leona out of that band office, we'll all feel a lot better

everything.

Hey, maybe you two can even be the peacekeepers between these two bloody

families. Wouldn't that be something? Well...

Don't lure us off just yet.

You know, it's not enough that Daryl sent me out to some shithole in the

of nowhere, but then he gives my days to some broadening, tricky Nicky? Like,

come on!

Listen, uh, Portia, Casper, whatever your name is, why don't you do the two

us a huge favor and beat it for a few minutes, huh?

Let's have a drink.

Listen, it had nothing to do with you. It was just getting back at me.

Yeah, well, we had a commitment to get a condo together. Remember our fuck nest?

Yeah. Yeah, well, I want the money you promised.

You promised.

I know.

I'll find the money.

You just gotta give me a little more time.

Okay?

Hmm?

We have to pay this now.

Okay?

Because otherwise, I'm out.

And if I'm out, you're out.

Like I said, I'll find the money.

Bye.

Okay.

Hey, Victor, what's up?

Well, just... What do you mean an emergency council vote? Why?

Well, Andy, Rick, and Leonard are doing it.

Apparently they can invoke a banned custom to vote us out and hold a new

election.

I think Norma's supportive because he's hoping it backfires on them.

And what about Greg?

He says it's not so much that he wants you removed, but he's hoping it can be a

wake -up call for you.

Oh, and you also should know that Marie came by.

She's being replaced at the school.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Okay, you know what? I can't right now. I just, I can't. I have to go.

What are you doing?

What?

You know, I could use a little bit of support right now, Natalie.

Kind of like the way you supported me, right?

I know that.

And maybe I don't have any right.

But I need you not to give up on me.

How are you feeling?

Shit.

You need a cigarette?

No. Did you take your IV out again?

Yeah. Busted me.

You know, if you do this again, I'm going to have to drop you down. And I

want to have to do that.

I'm going to be a good girl now.

Okay.

What's that all about?

You knew me.

Always needing attention.

Excuse me, miss.

Can you tell me where Tom Fraser's room is?

Check this, John.

Thank you.

I'm a little scared.

Let's just take this one day at a time, okay?

Natalie would be proud of you.

She's been on my mind a lot today.

What is it?

I'm just really glad you're safe.

And I'm here. I'm gonna help you.

You know...

Don't be pulling that counselor shit on me, okay?

Just be my sister.
