(Alarm blaring)

(Sighing)

This isn't me, I promise you.

Is there anything you guys want to tell me?

Do you feel safe around Sandra?

They are safe with me.

Everything I told you is true.

I got in touch with some family who are a few hours away

and someone is coming to get us tonight.

Why should I believe you?

She saved us from a really bad man.

Okay, listen.

We were living in a very bad place with some bad people.

They hurt us.

David, come here, my boy.

That's why we left.

It wasn't safe.

Your ex did that?

There is no ex. I lied about that.

We were living with some really bad people.

If you turn us in, things will be a lot worse for these kids.

Our ride will be here by six.

You won't ever have to see us again.

Please?

(Indigenous singing)

(Henry speaking Anishinaabemowin:)

(Acoustic folk playing)

?

? Life unfolds around me ?

? I can choose which path I take ?

I got you a fresh pot...

Hm. ...Chief.

Very funny.

So, what are you going to do if you win?

I don't know, I'm probably going to kick ass.

Well, you got my vote.

Good. Now, I just need to work on the other 800 band members.

Yeah.

Holy, frickin' Amber Alert at 5:30 in the morning.

I was not expecting that.

My Doctor told me to turn my phone off when I go to bed.

Ha-ha.

"The land, the children, the people's law".

"As long as the sun shines."

Where'd you get your slogan from? Kahlil Gibran?

So, you did read that poetry book I bought you.

Yeah, I skimmed it.

Tara... you're a doctor,

not a politician.

Don't go make a fool of yourself just to prove me wrong.

Oh, that's actually why I'm doing this

because you think this is about you.

An election is actually about the community.

So, you're going to quit the Clinic?

How community-minded is that?

No, Rowan, I'm not going to quit.

Yeah, as a woman I'm actually capable

of expanding my potential

beyond anything you can possibly comprehend.

And my potential right now

is about to prevent your stupid cannabis operation

from destroying this community.

W-w-wh-whoa, stupid cannabis operation?

What are you in grade three?

You know, as a physician,

I expected more from you Tara.

You should know better.

Oh, really? Well,

if you would have considered anyone else's opinion,

other than your idiot brother-in-law,

you would have an idea as to what I

or the rest of the community thinks.

We're in a crisis, Rowan,

and your pot shop is only going to make things worse.

Well, you're wrong,

and you're in way over your head.

You want to make a fool of yourself? Go ahead.

Be my guest.

(Phone vibrating)

Yeah?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

(Bell ringing)

Forgot my coffee.

It's two bucks, Rowan.

Yeah. Sorry. You know what? You can get it. Thank you.

I couldn't be more proud of what you and Rowan are doing.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

I'm not sure the Lord had anything to do with it Molly,

but thanks.

He has everything to do with it.

The Lord brought you and Rowan together.

I thought it was bankruptcy.

And you should be more grateful for all the good

that Darryl and Rowan are doing together.

"All the good." That's up for debate.

No need for debate. Let's just agree to disagree.

I've got one mission

and that's to get this family back on its feet.

I'm going to be fine, thanks.

How much do you make over at the Lodge, Rayna?

Five bucks an hour?

I'm working my ass off over there,

so I don't have to rely on anyone anymore.

But no one around here seems to care about that.

It's always Rowan this and Darryl that.

Oh, right on cue, Molly. Well played.

Mom, why are you being like this?

Being like what?

I am not the bad guy here.

I didn't put us in this position.

You're being mean.

Excuse me?

You're the one that wanted to be here

and now that we're all here, you're just so mad all the time.

I wanted to visit.

Your father is the reason that we are still here,

without any place to live.

He put us here, so, yeah, Myles, I'm mad.

Yeah, well so am I, but I'm not the one that's running around,

being an asshole to everyone.

Whoa.

(Door slamming)

I'm not hungry.

?

This is different, Rowan, and you know it.

We agreed not to move forward

with any cannabis related business

until we all agreed to the terms of the Cannabis Act.

It was all outlined in the memo.

Which was received after the fact.

Okay, we had quorum and there was a deal on the table

that we had to act on.

If we hadn't done it that money would never have come in.

He's right you know.

Marva, here are the facts -

I was presented with an opportunity.

The money, and there was a lot of it,

was only available for 24 hours.

We had quorum, we passed the BCR,

and now we have a legitimate legal cannabis operation

that will revitalize this economy

like nothing we've ever seen before.

Which is why we all voted for it.

You're out of touch, Rowan.

You don't even have a licence to operate.

I'm the Chief. We had a BCR. Consider that your licence.

The lot of you need to roll this back.

It's the wish of this council, and for your sake,

let's put the resolution to a vote.

All those in favour?

All those against?

The resolution carries.

?

(Beeping)

WOMAN OPERATOR: Provincial Police Service. How may I direct your call?

Hello?

Uh... Sorry.

I have the wrong number.

TARA: Aanii.

You've reached Doctor Wasnoday. I'm not available.

Please leave a message or try me at the clinic.

(Phone beeping)

? Started from the rez, now I'm living the dream ?

? Wouldn't say it was a bottom, but you know what I mean ?

? 'Cause I rose to the top through poetic ?

? It seems that the next word to rhyme ?

? Would suggest that I'm Cree ?

? But there was a slow rise, ten years on the road grind ?

? With plenty of long nights and many a nosedives ?

? Singing these songs like can you give me a long life ?

? Beyond what I hear, but I know that it's not right ?

? Maybe a low stakes and less of a spotlight ?

Hey, Bro. Shit really blew up here, eh?

Thankfully, word travels fast 'round these parts.

Can we look at some numbers?

I'm still plugging things in, but...

we blew the doors off the initial projections

and the investors are super happy.

I've got six full-time employees here, three on the weekend,

and at this rate,

we're going to need more product sooner than we expected.

You know, I have sampled some of the product

and I have to say, that is some high quality stuff.

Yeah. Rave reviews all around the board.

What's wrong? I thought you'd be ecstatic.

I need more.

Meaning?

My entire campaign is banking on this.

Things are heating up on the election front.

I got a few disgruntled councillors and Tara

pushing back hard against the dispensary.

I need something that will light it up,

help me prove that this is going to work out in the long run.

And guarantee him winning the election.

What are you thinking?

I need bigger numbers, more jobs, more revenue.

Shut the haters up.

There's endless potential here.

You could expand another 2500 square feet,

broaden our product line,

kind of move towards a super store kind of thing.

I'm feeling pretty confident

we'll have a couple million dollars yearly revenue,

triple the number of jobs.

That'll definitely shut them up.

(Door chiming)

Dad, please, calm down.

Listen, please.

Hey. Dad!

Let's make it happen.

What are you doing here? You never come over.

I made some kombucha.

And I wanted to bring you some.

And I wanted to ask you nicely to stop saying mean things

about me on Facebook.

I'm running for Chief, Ma. I know you don't like it.

I know you think I'm doing it to upset Rowan, but I'm not.

I think he's doing a crappy job

and someone has to step up.

But you're already a doctor, Tara.

Why do you have to take this from him?

It's all he has.

He's never gonna make it as an actor, you know that.

This is what he has.

Are you serious? That's what this is about?

You already have everything you wanted,

everything you worked for.

And now, you just want to steal his thunder?

This isn't about Rowan. It's not even about me.

This is about... this community! It's about getting better.

Better can only happen when there's a leader

that can bring people together

and inspire them.

I don't know if that's me or someone else, but...

we all deserve better.

You know, it's just like this family -

this community needs to rise up

against the toxic cloud and-and heal.

It's that simple.

"This family"?

I'll have you know,

I single-handedly raised the two of you.

"This family."

Ma, don't walk away.

I'm not walking away. I'm showing you out.

(Indigenous woman singing continues)

?

Hey, Dad.

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

(Sighing)

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin)

I used to talk to a shrink once a week in Toronto.

Now, it's been five weeks and I'm really feeling the effects

of not having anyone to talk to.

I was so excited about all of this.

And then...

everything was so good and Darryl messed it all up.

Hm.

Now, I'm working at a crappy motel,

dealing with things that I'm not qualified to deal with.

(Speaking Anishinaabemowin:)

(Indigenous woman singing)

?

(Song ending)

(Audience cheering)

Boozhoo.

Thank you to Allison Sevenet for that beautiful song.

We are here today to celebrate

the long awaited opening of the Beezee Youth Centre.

(Audience cheering)

There are so many people

who have worked tirelessly to help make this dream possible.

Thank you, Lyle.

There are too many people to thank,

so we will be posting everyone's name in this month's newsletter.

Drug dealer!

Let's not pull focus, Rhonda.

If you have a problem, just come see me

in the office tomorrow.

Our youth are our future.

Why didn't we know about your weed store, Rowan?

Come on, Rhonda, your son works there.

He's making good money. He's got a full time job.

I don't want him working on weed.

Mom! I like the job. It's way better than welfare.

(Audience laughing)

The choices that I have made have created a revenue stream

that could not have been not have been realized

without the dispensary.

(Audience booing) Let me finish.

I'd like to announce, thanks to the Beezee Dispensary,

we are going to be furnishing this youth centre

with a gaming room and a media lab.

(Audience applauding) MAN: Yeah!

Yes, yes.

Ah, this is just a taste

of what the future holds.

Get a real leader up there.

Tara. Tara!

AUDIENCE: Tara! Tara! Tara! Tara!

(Some audience members booing)

AUDIENCE: Tara! Tara! Tara!

Tara! Tara! Tara! Tara!

Okay, okay. Let's see what, uh,

wonderful insights we can gain from the great one.

Whoo! (Some audience members booing)

(Audience applauding)

Boozhoo.

I-I didn't expect to be talking today.

Um... I just wanted to support the youth and all the hard work

that went into making this place a reality.

I do think, though,

that we need to address the elephant in the room.

Or, should I say "dinosaur".

(Footsteps approaching)

You following me?

I, um,... wanted to give you something.

You only need half.

They're really strong.

Oh, and here's your twenty bucks.

You're weird.

I was thinking... the same about you.

You want to split one?

Sure. Why not?

?

Not only are you unqualified

to run for Chief,

but your inability to understand economics is staggering.

MAN: Yeah!

And your greed and hunger for power

is-- is holding this entire community back.

If we don't vote for change, we are going to lose

everything we consider sacred.

(Some audience cheering, some booing)

Really, Dad?

Wow! Hi, folks.

Didn't mean to interrupt

such a riveting debate. But I just noticed, that, um,

my name's been left off the agenda.

I'm Mitch Nanibush.

Of Nanibush Industries.

Right here. Thank you so much for your support of the--

Nothing gets past your Chief, huh?

Now, I know you don't know me,

but my grandmother was born here.

And we always come home to Grandmother Moon, right?

And I have to tell you, I have to be honest with you,

I think your Chief and council have lost touch with reality.

Lyle knows what I'm talking about.

Now, I'm here to tell you that I'm running for Chief

of Beezee Nation,

and my reputation for getting shit done will blow your mind.

Doesn't matter - traditional rights,

inherent rights, sovereignty,

language, weed, whatever.

None of it matters

because the money I'm going to generate with our casino plan

is more than you can possibly dream of.

Yeah, right.

No, no! Listen!

It's going to free us from the Indian Act.

We'll never need to borrow another dollar from anyone

and we become the architects of our own destiny.

Sound good?

(Audience murmur agreement)

All right, well, I hope to meet each

and every one of you very soon.

But first, let's cut this damn ribbon, huh?

Hey, scissor boy, give me a hand here.

Lyle, photo op.

Ha-ha! See you in the polls.

(Smattering of audience applauding)

(Door opening)

?

Where's Sandra?

She's gone.

She wrote you a note.

?

Foster care?

So, she wasn't your mother?

She was like our mom.

She always took care of us.

She's more like our foster sister,

but she saved us. Please don't take us back.

They're going to hurt us real bad.

Sweetie, I can't just keep you. I have to get help.

Please, please, don't take us back.

I promise we'll be good.
