Original subtitles

Previously on Blackstone.

I can handle this. As soon as she passes out, I'm going to get her in the car

and we'll head back to the red. But I'm not fucking leaving her. Did Phil hurt

you too?

He knew when to come by.

He knew when mom was out drinking.

Or passed out.

You fucking idiot.

You were told years ago that that shit could leach into the wells.

I didn't think anything had happened for 20 or 30 years.

You know your mother's medical history?

We haven't spoken in years.

Is there any way that you can get a hold of her?

And you can't just walk in here and expect me to drop everything. You can't

it. I just did it, Ted.

Sell, sell, sell.

You're not just a bartender. You are a fucking money extractor.

I'll tell them everything, Walt.

Don't walk away from me, Walt.

Walt, I will fucking burn you!

Walt!

Motherfuckers are doing their job.

You need to put a leash on your girlfriend.

Either that or put her to sleep.

Shoot, my bitch.

My bitch.

There's the girl we all know and love.

Look, let's talk about this outside.

Don't. I need to know where the fucking money's being spent.

Where the fuck is my Natalie?

Motherfucking stony rec center.

You tell him, Mom.

Don't let that big fucker at the end of the table bullshit you.

Each bullshit me.

I know you.

I want my motherfucking...

We're just hanging out.

It's okay.

Would you fucking get a grip?

Want a shot?

Huh?

Oh, fuck. Huh?

What the fuck are you doing with this shit? You can't have that. You're not

allowed. Tracy, you gotta cut this shit out. Tracy,

Tracy, put that away, please.

It's not even a big deal. Listen, listen to me, listen to me. I'm going to walk

you home, okay? I don't know where you got these.

I want to go see Wendy.

I miss my baby girl.

Carol. I'm going to walk you home, okay?

I miss my baby girl. You don't even know.

Oh, you do. Oh, no, you do.

Listen, you've got to straighten yourself out.

All right, but you know what? I really cut down lots. I don't drink. Like, not

like when we drink to hang out.

What's he doing here?

I don't know.

I heard he's trying to move some money.

That's like shit very well.

Okay, but I'm still not going to prescribe you sleeping pill, Gail.

It's all part of the living dry. It's going to take some time for your body to

adjust.

You know, Doc, to be honest with you, passing out was better than death.

I mean, even that melatonin isn't kicking in.

Oh, you're taking melatonin?

Yeah. Since when?

I don't know. A couple weeks. It's all natural.

Yeah, I know what it is.

It also explains your nightmares.

Melatonin helps you remember your dreams. Chances are you've been having

nightmares all along and just didn't know.

In the future, can you talk to me before you start taking something?

All right.

Get off this for a week and see how you do.

Shit.

How's your sister doing? Is she doing okay?

Oh, yeah.

Well, you know, she doesn't say much.

She's a real tough one.

Well, I asked her for your mom's medical history because there's nothing on file

here, and I got the sense that something was strained.

Well, it's one way of putting it.

Well, it is info that would be helpful, and it is something that you and Leona

should know.

You know, the other day she almost passed out.

Really? Yeah.

Why wouldn't you call me?

That's enough.

Come on.

Why the fuck doesn't he use his own apartment?

I'm glad he comes home to see us though soon. The guy from privacy.

Oh,

she had those removed years ago.

Everything all right, Gail?

My mother had her records removed.

Did you see Wilma at all?

Yeah, by 50 grand. Make it 100.

There's room for it.

100?

It's not coming out of their pockets.

They've got three government agencies involved.

You know there's a perfectly good arena 20 miles away that just sits unused?

Yeah, I stopped trying to make sense of these things a long time ago.

The place was set empty, just like the rest of them, and we'll take the

maintenance contract.

How about the other bids?

No word yet.

Should've heard something by now, don't you think?

Yeah.

I'll make some calls.

You two want to come here for a minute?

What?

Listen, I was thinking of starting a program committee for the new rec

and I thought you two might be interested.

What do you say?

Us?

We need to represent our youth, right?

Yeah.

I mean, as long as it doesn't interfere with school.

So how's living downtown?

Good.

So, everything's good?

Yeah.

We just had it out.

You working tonight, son?

Eleven?

Huh.

I didn't know the Roxy closed down at eleven.

You're working at the Roxy?

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry, son.

Sheila!

I thought she knew.

Sheila, wait!

Technically, I didn't lie to you. I just didn't tell you yet. What?

I was going to tell you.

It's not a big deal. No big deal?

You're pathetic.

Would you like it if I worked out?

Sheila, come on. We can talk about this.

Sheila, stop the car.

Get out of my way!

Boss, the dancers from Shea postponed a week.

Ed called.

That's fucking twice as much.

And why is he calling you? I don't know. I tried to give him the hold, but he

wouldn't. Next time that fucker calls, I want to talk to him personally, all

right? You hear me?

The guy started to fucking piss me off.

Oh, hey, Tina said Timmy bought a piece of Shea and Ed's now in business with

him.

Really?

That fucker just made me an offer on the new club.

It's not even finished.

It's not for sale.

Someone told him I had money problems.

Who'd say that?

Probably that fucking Ed.

And Walt dragging his ass with construction don't help any.

What's Ed got against you anyway?

He thinks I called his wife a dirty snatcher.

But did you want to make an appointment?

All right. Just tell her daughter something.

Just give me a minute.

Wilma,

can you see if Melanie needs something?

Sure.

I'll be done in a minute. Can you wait a while?

Is that your shitter back there?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Take a piss.

How

many

of you have an alcoholic mother?

Father?

My dad fucked off.

Okay, alcoholic uncle, auntie, brother, sister.

The first step in taking control of your life is the acknowledgement of their

problem.

You are not responsible for their disease, nor are you the cause of it.

They're going to have to get their own help for that.

So how are you going to help us?

offer advice when you want it and give you a safe place to talk.

Did you help your sister?

I tried.

But ultimately Gail helped herself.

You can't do it for them.

Our mother was an alcoholic.

So my sister and I became alcoholics too. My hope is you won't

fall into the same cycle that you'll be able to take your power back and remain

strong.

One power.

I got no power over my uncle.

Or anyone else. Shut up, Randall. No, it's okay.

This is what we're here for.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Well, I have something to say.

My mother hasn't come home in two days.

So I have to take care of my sisters, the house, and deal with school.

She was out snagging.

Okay.

She is not having a good time.

She has a disease.

Not that that excuses her behavior.

And she certainly doesn't have the right to take advantage of you.

Why do I have to suffer?

When things get the least bit tough, she disappears.

I have stuff going on. I have my own shit that's really fucked.

Well, why don't you start by sharing what's going on with you?

It's nothing.

No, your problems aren't nothing, Tammy.

They're very important. I don't want to talk about it.

circled back.

All right.

I'll talk to you later.

Debbie.

Come in here for a sec.

What do you got there? More shit?

Just a few necessities.

Swear to God, I'm going to shut that fucking internet down.

Trust me, you don't want to do that.

All you do is buy shit on it all day.

That's all I do?

According to this, yeah.

Well, if that's all I do, Then who the fuck is cooking your meals, picking up

your garbage, doing your laundry, and cleaning everything else in this fucking

house? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

All I'm asking is that you take it easy. You're going to max this fucking card

out.

Then pay the fucking thing.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, you, uh, still talk to Vince and Betty at Sipawa?

Not for a while.

You got the number?

Yeah, I got the number. You want to give it to me?

No. Just give me the fucking number, Debbie.

What for?

If you must know, they got a couple of job posts they want me to look at.

You happy?

Just don't tell me you're working with that rat fuck Walt.

Rat fuck.

Shut up.

Rat fuck.

Hey, Joey. Rat fuck.

Fuck off.

Not you, Joey, my wife.

So, why didn't you come to Nat's funeral?

Well, the last time I saw you, you nearly killed me.

She was your granddaughter.

How the fuck could you make things worse?

Heard you were still drinking.

Eliana wouldn't answer any of my calls.

Noah, you gave up on us.

Yeah, and neither do I.

I wouldn't abandon my own kids.

Really?

Just because you're there doesn't mean you haven't abandoned them.

We were drinking together and broke my fucking arm.

If I'd have stayed, I'd have wound up dead.

Like half the others on the reserve.

Numb.

You know, I didn't come here to relive our shitty past.

What'd you come for?

you went with?

Where's it at?

It's at this new after -hours place off 3rd Ave.

They have a live jazz band and shit, so... And me and I love jazz.

Cool. Hey, Jumbo, you'll grab something from the bar, right?

Yeah. A 26er and not that bar shit.

Yeah, I'll find you something.

You have a good night, hotshot? Make some money?

Yeah, I think good.

The big man and I are gonna hit up by after -hours. You wanna come?

When? Now?

Yeah. Right, Jumbo?

Yeah.

What place is open at this hour?

Why don't you come and think?

You know, maybe some other time. Yeah, sure. Sounds good.

You don't want to stay up late with me?

You know, I got school and stuff to take care of.

Last Sunday?

Come on, have some fun.

Not sound good?

A little fun?

You and I?

Alan?

You better cash out.

I don't want to be here all fucking night.

What's wrong with her?

She won't wake up. Something's wrong.

Okay. Where's your mother?

She didn't come home.

Oh, geez. Okay. All right. I'll come with you.

Where's Libby?

I couldn't reach her, but I found the instructions.

You don't know what to do? I'm not a nurse. Well, this is an emergency here.

That's why I'm here, Greg. Just put her in there.

What's that?

Help her breathe.

Come on, Carolyn.

Breathe. What'd she take?

Both of these.

You gotta drink it. You gotta drink it all.

Okay, for a minute?

Yeah, just sit there.

The clinic I go to puts me together for a little medical history.

You go to this clinic?

Yeah.

Do your daughters know that you have cancer?

No.

No one at Blackstone does, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Now, what's going on with Leona?

We're waiting on some test results.

Who are you testing for?

Given the circumstances, I don't feel comfortable sharing that information

without Leona's consent.

So how often do you go to Blackstone?

Once a month?

Every other week.

do this why the money believe

it or not some of us do care about practicing medicine and communities that

health care that's what the doctor who misdiagnosed me said

now you make sure you're doing those tests right

Andy. What?

It's clear nothing's been started.

We had a few snags with the council, but we're

getting there. You're getting there?

Do you hear people realize the severity of this?

Of course they do. With every rainfall, more chemicals are being leached into

your water table. This dump needs to be moved.

I understand.

I don't think you do. If you did, you'd have listened to my advice and taken

care of it.

We're moving it.

It's being taken care of. Trust me.

Initiate a plan or I'll do it for you.

Initiate a plan? I'll fucking initiate something, you little prick.

If you want to know what's wrong with our people, take a look at their

We've become a culture of convenience.

Welcome to the 21st century, Dad.

I wish you were here.

You call this progress?

It's a failure.

Can you not see that?

People are free to do what they want. It's their right.

Freedom is not a right, you fool. It's a legacy.

And we fought for this, and you think the fight is over yet?

We ask for respect, and we don't even respect ourselves.

We say walk in peace, we do the opposite.

I've made my mistakes in over the years, but what you've done, that's

unforgivable.

What is it?

The Sipawah proposal?

They're considering someone else.

We got an exclusive with them.

Well, you know as well as I do, they don't mean shit.

I'll give Vince a call. Don't worry about it. Walt, that's not all.

Southlake's done the same.

Fuck me.

Since when?

I only just found out.

Yeah, I tried to get Joey on the line, but he's not taking my calls.

Have you heard from the others?

Something's up.

She gave us a really good scare.

Is Marnie okay?

She's worried.

We all are.

Can I see her and Cindy?

Yeah, of course you can.

Did you want to talk about what happened first?

Tammy, whatever it is, there's a solution.

And you are not alone.

I will help you, okay?

You're so young and smart and gorgeous.

You have your whole future ahead of you.

That's a lot to deal with.

I don't even know who the father is.

Okay, let's just take this one step at a time.

I'm going to have to figure everything out right now.

And I'm going to help you through it.

Don't give up, okay?

I got a problem.

Don't we all?

My business has taken a hit from some of the other reserves.

I'm losing jobs.

I think it's because somebody's cutting fucking deals.

I need you to make some calls and find out what's going on.

Huh.

Shit, I was just talking to Joey and Vince the other day.

If you want, I can give old Hank in Eastern Hills a call.

We had a great laugh last night.

You were talking to Hank?

Yeah, just last night.

I, uh, passed on some friendly advice to him.

What kind of advice?

Well, the kind that builds friendships, Walt. You know what I'm saying?

You son of a bitch.

You'd fuck with my business after everything I've done for you?

I will fucking... Oh, shut the fuck up, Walt. You don't have a leg to stand on,

and you know it.

Now, you and I got some talking to do.

What about?

Not here.

At your office. And bring Teddy.

What's he got to do with it?

Because Teddy's got a shitload of paper on you. And I'm almost certain he'd be

more than interested in what I have to say.

Ted's not going to hear your bullshit.

You just be at your office at 6 o 'clock.

And bring Teddy or you and I don't have a damn thing to talk about.

You understand me?

Shit show.

I had beer tubs left and right, eh? That's ridiculous.

I should have been there.

It was fun.

Your dad's kind of hot.

Whatever.

Do you know how many girls he's wheeled out of here?

He even dated Angel for a while.

What are you talking about?

You know, Angel who's missing.

I heard she and your dad were together.

Who told you that?

You know what? I don't even know what I'm talking about.

Sorry, don't worry about it.

How's the kid working out?

Kid's a natural.

Well, you had a band meeting.

No, I'm meeting Darcy here.

Why do you always gotta meet that snot -nosed punk here?

Because he's helping me out with some shit with Walt.

Walt? Now there's another useless tit.

You know, that fucker's been taking his sweet -ass time with the new club.

People are talking.

Oh, these fucking delays.

Making me look bad.

How the fuck is he making you look bad?

On construction stalls, Andy.

It's usually due to money. Am I right?

Well, how about you let me take over the rest of your construction?

Yeah, right.

I already went down that road before, remember?

Didn't go so well.

It's different this time.

Yeah, it's fucking worse.

Now you're a chief with no power.

You can't even take a shit anymore of those fucking dozen signatures.

Besides, I don't need your fucking money. Look, do you want your fucking

construction to be a priority at Brebner or not?

What the fuck are you going to do?

Walt's got zero respect.

Not for long.

If it's best, we just keep our business separate.

That's going to be harder than you think, Daryl.

Are you having fun?

Yeah, I'm having fun.

Good.

Shit.

We need to talk.

Outside. Yeah.

You can go up this way.

Are you okay?

No.

I'm not.

Look, Sheila, I need this job.

Why this one?

Why a strip joint?

It's not illegal. I'm just shipping beers. What's the problem?

Are you serious?

You sound like your dad.

Don't compare me to him.

Well, it's the truth. I know what kind of shit goes on in there. So I'm trying

to sell me at something different.

Sheila, I really need this job. This one pays well.

Money isn't everything, Alan.

It's not worth losing your soul.

What are you talking about, losing my soul? I'm a bartender.

If you can't see that there's a problem here, maybe I don't know you.

Sheila, come on.

It's just a job.

know what's fucking demeaning working nine to five for ten bucks an hour the

girls come in here and make three to four grand in a week at the end of the

your girlfriend just doesn't trust you

Yeah, what's this about, Andy?

It's about giving people the respect they deserve.

Great. Now, can you put that in terms we can all understand?

What Andy is trying to say is it appears Brebner has been benefiting due to its

relationship with Andy and the Blackstone First Nation.

Hey, I've been good to Blackstone.

I've been good to you, Andy. I put up with a lot of shit.

If other reservations...

Respect me and want to do business with me.

So be it. Your days of profiting off the backs of my people are over,

motherfucker. Okay, let's not get carried away. I bid on jobs like

else.

I get hired because I'm respectable.

Your client would have you believe that this company can function without First

Nations contracts.

But that isn't the case.

These projects account for 70 % of Brebner Construction's revenue.

Where did you get those files?

What exactly is this about?

You remove these contracts, and this company will collapse.

Did, uh, numbnuts over here mention the fact that his business is going to

disappear? Or the fact that myself and other chiefs are currently reassessing

all our business partnerships?

This is illegal.

So sue me.

What, uh...

What do you want, Andy? He gives a shit what he wants.

I got plenty on him.

I'll tell everybody about your backdoor scam. Walter, I suggest you shut up.

We gave you money based on those contracts.

Are you going to listen to what I have to say now, fuckface?

So?

How you doing?

Good.

Liar.

I went to see the doctor today, and he was asking about Mom's medical records,

and... Is it serious?

I think I have lupus.

Lupus? What the fuck is lupus?

It affects the immune system.

It's treatable. I'll be fine.

Sorry. Don't.

Don't make it into something.

It is something, Leona. Cut the bullshit.

I don't want to talk about it, right?

Hey, Othina, you don't want to talk to anyone?

I visited with Mom.

I was worried about you, okay? She agreed to send her medical records to

center. Gail, I don't want her knowing anything about me. What was I supposed

do? I don't want her in my life.

You shouldn't have done that.

Yeah, well, maybe it's time we let some of this shit go.

She's the one I loved.

No, no, I forced her.

What are you talking about?

I threatened to kill her.

I was drinking.

I threatened to kill her. Well, whatever you did, she deserved it.

Don't take responsibility for her.

Yeah, I don't know how you do that, Leona.

How you counsel everyone else on their shit and then you ignore your own.

She brought alcohol into our home.

We were kids.

She poured our drinks.

She tried to talk me out of school, and then she just disappeared, Gail.

What kind of a mother does that?

Me?

for Blackstone has resulted in other contracts, and they have been

I'll pay you a consulting fee.

You deserve it.

I'll pay you a consulting fee for every job you help us close.

There. Now, that's fair.

It's more than deserved. That's a good offer, Walt.

You two don't have a fucking clue what's happening here, do you?

Well, then help us out, Andy. What do you want?

I want to have the company.

You son of a bitch.

Over my dead body. Fuck you.

Walt, just calm down.

I built this company from the ground up.

Your company is about two seconds away from bankruptcy, dickhead.

And it lives or dies by the contracts I endorse.

Gentlemen, I think we can be reasonable here. Let's talk this thing through.

Hmm?

Walt?

You deal with this or find yourself another bank.

What? I'll freeze your fucking accounts.

Watch your time.
