[DISTANT DOG BARKS]

[KIDS PLAY IN THE DISTANCE]

(Victor on television) HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR FUTURE IN BLACKSTONE?

(Natalie on television) MY FUTURE?

WHAT FUTURE?

VICTOR WAS DOING ALL THESE INTERVIEWS WITH PEOPLE.

(SIGHS) I'D LIKE TO TAKE THAT WITH ME.

YEAH, OF COURSE.

I'VE GOT TO 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.

(SIGHS)

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 SEEN DOWNTOWN, NOTHING'S A SURPRISE.

IF TIM'S TELLING THE TRUTH,

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CONSIDER PHIL A SUSPECT WITH NATALIE.

One little, two little, three little Indians

Four little, five little, six little Indians

Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians

Ten little Indian tribes

Ten little Indian tribes

(MOANS, SPITS)

OHH, GOD! (CRYING)

(WHEEZING)

(SOBBING)

(SPITS, SLURPS)

(COUGHS)

(WHEEZING)

(WHISPERS) YEAH... YEAH, MAYBE...

MAYBE I SHOULD'VE JUST DIED RIGHT THEN AND THERE, HUH?

HUH?

S-SCREW YOU.

SCREW ALL OF YOU.

(GROANS)

(SHUDDERING BREATHS)

HERE. LET ME HELP YOU.

THAT'S IT.

OKAY.

(GROANS)

(REPEATED GRUNTS AND GROANS)

IT'S OKAY.

NO. NO.

I'LL GET SOMEONE TO CLEAN THIS UP RIGHT AWAY.

(SHIVERING SOBS)

(WHIMPERING, CRYING)

JUST 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 QUESTIONS.

I KNOW YOU ANSWERED THESE LAST NIGHT WITH THE OTHER OFFICERS,

BUT I WANT TO ASK 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?

(Debbie) PHIL HENRY'S YOUR COUSIN.

THAT LITTLE SHIT'S LYING.

THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY PHIL WOULD DO THAT. WOULD HE?

NO. MM-HMM.

WHERE DOES LEONA GET OFF HAVING HIM HAULED AWAY IN HANDCUFFS?

MAKING US LOOK BAD.

(SIGHS)

DON'T WORRY ABOUT LEONA. HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

WELL, NEVER MIND THAT.

I'M NOW TOO EMBARRASSED TO GO TO THE GODDAMN GROCERY STORE!

(SIGHS) WHAT A FUCKING MESS THIS HAS BECOME.

ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO GODDAMN ARROGANT,

TAKING VOTES FOR GRANTED.

(CLEARS THROAT)

DEBBIE...

I TOLD YOU BEFORE, EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL

IN A LITTLE WHILE. AND IT WILL.

YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST ME FOR ONCE.

PLEASE?

WELL THEN, LET ME HELP.

(SIGHS)

MMM?

(GIGGLES)

YOU'RE SUCH A PEACH.

(GIGGLES) I KNOW.

(CAR DOORS OPENING & CLOSING)

(Leona) CHRYSTAL, CAN WE TALK TO YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU

AND YOUR FRIENDS GO FUCKING POWER-TRIP SOMEPLACE ELSE

AND LEAVE 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.

ALWAYS BEEN A CLUMSY LITTLE FUCKER.

I WOULD THINK YOU MIGHT BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM,

BEING YOUR NEPHEW, AFTER ALL.

HE AIN'T MY NEPHEW. SO WHAT DO I CARE, HUH?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

NOTHING.

SO FUCK OFF, CHIEF.

(SLAMS DOOR)

CHARMING. YEAH.

OH, SHE'S A TOUGH ONE.

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 A LITTLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

THAT, UH, CLOWN OUTSIDE...

REMINDED ME OF A GOOD STORY I HEARD.

(CLEARS THROAT) THERE'S THIS CLOWN, EH?

COPS PULLED HIM OVER FOR SPEEDING.

AND HE WAS TELLING THE COP

HOW IRATE PARENTS GET WHEN HE'S LATE.

AND, UH, AND THE COP STOPS WRITING HIM THE TICKET AND HE SAYS,

MY KID HAS A BIRTHDAY COMING UP.

MAYBE THIS TICKET SHOULDN'T HAPPEN.

'COURSE 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,

GOES TO THE TRUNK, GETS THESE, UH...

JUGGLING PINS.

JUGGLING PINS OUT, YEAH. AND HE STANDS OUT THERE ON THE ROAD AND HE STARTS JUGGLING.

JUST THEN, THESE BROS FROM THE RES ARE FLYING BY THERE AND IT'S-- ONE OF THEM SAYS,

MAN, THESE ROADSIDE SOBRIETY TESTS ARE GETTING TOUGHER ALL THE TIME.

(LAUGHTER)

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, EH?

(CELL PHONE RINGS) - YEAH...

EXCUSE ME.

MARILYN.

YEAH. PRETTY VOLATILE.

YEAH?

RIGHT.

RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO PLACE TIM IN A MOTEL FOR NOW.

WHAT? 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 SLOW DOWN.

WE CAN FIND SOMEWHERE FOR HIM HERE.

APPARENTLY SOME THINGS HAVE COME TO LIGHT ABOUT THE UNCLE

THAT I JUST CAN'T GET INTO RIGHT NOW,

BUT THE BOY'S TESTIMONY HAS BECOME A PRIORITY CONCERN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT, 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 HIM 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.

(SIGHS)

OKAY. I'LL GET IT ARRANGED. (SIGHS)

AW, GEEZ.

(SIGHS) THANKS FOR COMING, CECIL. MEANS A LOT.

AH, NO THANKS NECESSARY. IT'S JUST GOOD.

MM-HMM.

HAVING A GOOD VISIT?

YEAH. YEAH, WE ARE.

AND ARE YOU FAMILY?

YUP. YEAH, HE'S FAMILY.

OKAY.

YOUR BLOOD SUGAR'S TOO HIGH.

I'LL RUN ANOTHER BLOOD TEST, BUT IT'S PRETTY CLEAR YOU'RE DIABETIC.

I'M STARTING YOU ON 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, UH, 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.

(Darcy)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 LISTEN 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.

YOU'RE STILL HERE. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

(CLEARS THROAT)

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?

UH, 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, WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER.

SEE, THIS IS THE SHIT WE DON'T NEED. SOME FUCKING OUTSIDER,

SNIFFING AROUND WHERE THEY DON'T BELONG.

WHO KNOWS WHO SHE'LL TALK TO NEXT, AND WHAT SHE'LL SAY.

(SIGHS)

LOOK...

I KNOW SOMEBODY DOWN AT THE SCHOOL BOARD THAT OWES ME A FAVOUR.

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 ANDRACHUCK

FOR FAILING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE REC CENTRE.

WE'LL GET THAT PROJECT BACK ON TRACK.

EXCUSE ME, UH, IS THIS BORING YOU?

OH, VIC, I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY, I'M NOT HERE.

I'VE GOT A MILLION THINGS ON MY MIND.

I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT TIM,

AND MOVING HIM AWAY AFTER HE'S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, AND...

I GOTTA GO SEE GAIL.

I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT HER.

SHE WAS IN ROUGH SHAPE WHEN I TOOK HER IN.

(SIGHS)

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 OUR STARTER.

OH, YEAH. WHAT'S HER NAME?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

GOES BY THE STAGE NAME TRICKY NICKY.

WAS MISS BEACH BLANKET BIMBO OR SOMETHING. (LAUGHS)

WELL, TELL ANGEL SHE'S GOT SOME COMPETITION.

YEAH.

ALRIGHT, HONEY.

THAT'S GREAT.

TAKE FIVE, ALRIGHT?

JUMBO, BE A BRO AND GRAB US A COUPLE BEERS, WOULD YA?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WELL, LOOKS LIKE THE SHINE IS SLOWLY WEARING OFF OUR BRAND NEW CHIEF.

NEVER MIND THE HUNDRED THOUSAND THAT WENT MISSING THAT SHE COULDN'T EXPLAIN.

NOW YOU CAN QUIT FUCKING THE DOG AROUND HERE AND GO BACK TO WORK.

GET THAT MONEY TRAIN BACK ON TRACK. RIGHT.

(SIGHS)

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO?

WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO?

(CLEARS THROAT)

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 ASSURANCE. (BREATHES DEEPLY)

AND THAT MEANS...

OH, UH... ABOUT FORTY THOUSAND?

TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THE OLD DAYS, YOU KNOW?

(LAUGHS) FUCK.

WHAT'RE YOU LAUGHING AT?

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 SURE-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, DARYL.

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 ALRIGHT?

WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?

I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP YOU, TIM.

THE MOTEL'S 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'VE 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.

(Tim) 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?

(Andy) SO WHY IS THE OLD MAN OFF LIMITS?

IT'S 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.

LOOK. ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS A LOAN.

I'LL PAY IT BACK NEXT WEEK. NOW WILL YOU FUCKING HELP ME OUT?

(LAUGHS) YOU'RE FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE.

WHY SHOULD HE EVEN GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOU, ANDY?

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME. IT'S ABOUT US.

THE 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 HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.

HE SHOULD'VE SUPPORTED ME BUT HE DIDN'T.

HE LOST HALF HIS FUCKING FOOT FOR CHRIST 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'TCHA?

AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR FUCKING ANY OF IT!

THE OLD MAN IS MY CONCERN AND 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?

DID YOU EVEN KNOW THAT?

LIKE I SAID,

YOU QUIT GIVING A FUCK YEARS AGO.

(Leona) OH, HERE THEY ARE, THEY'RE COMING.

YOU KNOW THIS IS JUST TEMPORARY

UNTIL THEY FIND A FOSTER HOME TO PLACE YOU IN, RIGHT?

IT'S 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 GOING TO STAY WITH YOU.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE TAKEN CARE OF. ALRIGHT?

OKAY. LET'S GO INSIDE.

COME ON. I GOT A ROOM FOR YOU.

(CELL PHONE RINGING) 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.

AND WELL, WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME NOW?

UGH.

YEAH, OKAY. YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST LET ME FINISH UP HERE

AND I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

ALRIGHT.

HEY, I'M JUST SAYING, IT WAS HER PASSWORD THAT WAS USED.

AND NOW WE'RE OUT A HUNDRED K?

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.

BUT 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 DO.

LOOK, GUYS.

I DON'T MEAN TO TRASH HER,

BUT WE CAN ALL SEE...

SHE'S INCOMPETENT!

SHE SHOULD'VE WALKED BEFORE SHE RAN.

TRIED FOR COUNCIL FIRST.

(SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE) 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 ANDRACHUCK, SUPPOSEDLY BUILDING US A REC CENTRE.

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 'CAUSE YOU WON'T LOOK AFTER IT.

WHATEVER.

DON'T GET FUCKING LIPPY WITH ME.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

HEY.

ARE YOU IN TOWN?

YEAH. YES.

I DON'T KNOW. OKAY, OKAY.

LOOK, I'VE GOT MY SON HERE. I GOTTA GO. SEE YA.

(SIGHS)

LOOK, I CAN'T COME IN. I GOTTA GO.

IT'S ALRIGHT, I'LL GET A RIDE. I'M GOING OUT AFTER.

ALAN?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE TRUCK. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

OKAY.

(Leona) YOU'RE SURE?

YEAH.

THEY RAN HIS DNA TWICE.

THERE'S 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, STU.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

HOW'S TIM?

I DON'T KNOW. HE'S SCARED.

HIS TESTIMONY WILL BE IMPORTANT.

CAN HE DO THAT? TESTIFY?

I HOPE SO.

IF HE DOESN'T TESTIFY, WHO WILL?

(Cecil) YOU KNOW, MAYBE, UH,

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, UM, WE WERE CONFUSED. DIDN'T KNOW WHO WE WERE.

NEITHER BROWN NOR 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 LABOUR FORCE

THEN WE DID AS STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM.

YOU KNOW, MY DAD, UM...

HE NEVER TALKED 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 IN TIME.

I NEED THOSE FILES, THOUGH, FOR TOMORROW. GOODBYE.

CHRIS.

YOU ALRIGHT?

THEY FOUND OUT WHO RAPED NATALIE.

THE SAME BASTARD WE ARRESTED FOR ABUSING 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 TO HELP?

WHY DON'T YOU STAY AFTER YOU SEE GAIL?

WELL, I'VE ALREADY MISSED ANOTHER COUNCIL MEETING.

I HAVE TO GET BACK AND DEAL WITH THE FALLOUT FROM THAT.

I JUST... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

IT JUST-- IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T STOP. (CRYING)

IT'S TOO MUCH FOR ONE PERSON.

THAT PLACE IS TEARING YOU APART.

JUST, JUST, PLEASE STOP.

(CRYING)

(LAUGHTER)

LOOK, YOU WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO GO TO COLLEGE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

I MEAN, 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?

YEAH. AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

AND THEN THERE ARE GUYS LIKE TOM FRASER,

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 ON THEMSELVES.

THEN HE BECAME CHIEF AFTER YOUR FATHER DIED.

THEN AS CHIEF...

HE WENT ABOUT... BETRAYING US

WHILE HE LINED HIS OWN POCKETS.

YEAH, AND...

HIS SON'S LEARNED WELL TOO, HUH?

IT BROKE MY HEART TO WATCH WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ANDY.

AND NOW...

I KNOW LEONA IS 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 PEACE 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.

YUP. 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!

YES, I WILL.

(CHUCKLES) WHAT'S UP?

I'M MAKING A FEW PHONE CALLS FOR YOUR FATHER.

MMM. MM-HMM. IMPRESSIVE.

(LAUGHS) HOW'S CAMP GOING?

REALLY GOOD. I'M GETTING THAT SCORING TOUCH BACK.

MMM, IMPRESSIVE.

(LAUGHS)

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.

OHH...

HE KNOWS YOU'RE SEEING HER, RIGHT?

WELL...

KIND OF. HE KNOWS THAT I SEE HER ABOUT SCHOOL AND STUFF.

BUT I GUESS...

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 ABOUT EVERYTHING.

HEY, MAYBE YOU TWO COULD EVEN BE THE PEACEKEEPERS

BETWEEN THESE TWO BLOODY FAMILIES, EH? WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING?

MOM, DON'T MARRY US OFF JUST YET.

(LAUGHS)

(Andy) COME ON, ANGEL, GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK, WOULD YOU?

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ENOUGH THAT DARYL SENDS ME OUT TO SOME SHITHOLE

IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, BUT THEN HE GIVES MY DAYS TO

SOME BROAD NAMED TRICKY NICKY? LIKE, C'MON! FUCK!

LISTEN, UH, PORTIA? CASPER? WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS?

WHY DON'T YOU DO THE TWO OF US A HUGE FAVOUR

AND BEAT IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. HUH?

GET YOURSELF A DRINK. ATTA GIRL. (SIGHS)

LISTEN. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

HE 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.

(SIGHS) YOU PROMISED.

I KNOW. (SCOFFS)

LISTEN.

I PROMISE. I'LL FIND THE MONEY.

YOU'VE 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... HONEY.

OKAY.

FUCK IT.

FUCK IT.

(GRUNTS)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

HEY, VICTOR. WHAT'S UP?

WHOA. JUST--

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, AN EMERGENCY COUNCIL VOTE? WHY?

WELL, ANDY, RICK AND LEONARD ARE DOING IT.

APPARENTLY, THEY CAN INVOKE A "BAND CUSTOM", UH,

TO VOTE US OUT AND HOLD A NEW ELECTION.

I THINK NORMA SUPPORTED IT BECAUSE SHE'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 WAKEUP 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.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT?

YOU KNOW, I COULD USE A LITTLE BIT OF SUPPORT RIGHT NOW, NATALIE.

HMM.

KINDA LIKE THE WAY YOU SUPPORTED ME, RIGHT?

I FUCKED UP.

(SOFTLY) I'M SORRY.

I'M, I'M SORRY.

I KNOW THAT I ABANDONED YOU.

FOR THE BOTTLE. I KNOW THAT.

AND MAYBE I DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHT...

BUT I NEED YOU...

NOT TO GIVE UP ON ME.

PLEASE.

HOW'RE YOU FEELING?

SHITS. YOU GOT A CIGARETTE?

NO.

DID YOU TAKE YOUR I.V. OUT AGAIN?

YEAH. BUSTED ME.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO

STRAP YOU DOWN, AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO THAT.

I'M GONNA BE A GOOD GIRL NOW.

OKAY.

HEY.

HEY.

HA, WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

OH...

YOU KNOW ME...

ALWAYS NEEDING ATTENTION.

MMM.

EXCUSE ME, MISS, CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE,

UH, TOM FRASER'S ROOM IS?

JUST THERE, DOWN THE HALL.

THANK YOU.

I'M A LITTLE SCARED.

I KNOW.

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, AND I'M...

I'M GOING TO HELP YOU.

YEAH, WELL, JUST DON'T BE PULLING THAT COUNSELLOR SHIT ON ME, OKAY?

(LAUGHTER)

JUST...

JUST BE MY SISTER.
