(ring-through)

(Operator) 9-1-1, what is your emergency?

(Leona, on phone) I need an ambulance! She's not moving!

(Op.) OK, OK... calm down.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Tell me what's wrong.

(Leona) She's not breathing! I don't know what's wrong!

(Op.) We have your location. EMT's are on the way.

Over here!

(Greg) Hey, she's inside, down the hall,

in the third bedroom on the left.

(EMT) Ma'am! Can you hear me?

OK, let's get her on the spine board.

One, two, three.

I'll draw up the medication and get oxygen.

Oxygen.

Ready to move?

OK. On your go, let's move her.

Go.

(EMT) Pupils are equal and dilated at six mil.

(Leona) Gail!

Gail!

Just let them do their job. Gail, stop!

We're on the way with a 30-something native female.

She's already coded once.

(Dispatch) Is she responsive?

No.

Pupils extremely dilated and body movement minimal.

(Dispatch) Any signs of external injury?

No. Very slow breathing, slight bruising on wrists.

Lips are blue and face is pale.

What's happening?

What's going on?

Patient just started spasming.

Heart rate increasing rapidly.

(Dispatch) Has she been taking drugs?

What kind of drugs does she take?

I'm not sure. She drinks too.

Patient has stopped breathing.

[Vomiting]

(Natalie) Isn't this familiar?

Surprised you're not dead.

I want to help.

By makin' me feel like shit?

No...

You do that all on your own.

I got a counsellor that reams me out already. Fuck.

This shit doesn't help.

What is going to help?

You're so fucking smart, why don't you tell me?

Stop being so hard on yourself and let it go.

Let what go?

The past.

Fuck...

I tried that.

No you didn't.

It's fuckin' hard...

This...

"Life" shit.

Yeah, it is.

Oxy just makes it easier.

That's a copout!

Look where Oxy got you.

Third time in for overdose?

Apparently.

You were warned to make lifestyle changes.

I'm fuckin' trying, doctor.

High amounts of toxin levels

have completely damaged the left kidney.

It's now in acute renal failure.

And the right kidney is damaged so badly,

it could fail any day.

We're going to need to operate.

Operate? When?

Right away. The nurse will let you know.

Is it bad?

It's serious, Gail.

You've lost one kidney.

And on the verge of losing both.

Fuck.

We'll do what we can.

Thanks.

How can this audit be out over two million dollars?

Everyone knows "why..."

...including the Government of Canada.

But things are changing. We have a new council.

We're rebuilding.

Blackstone has rattled a few cages

in the department over the years.

And now with its previous chief charged with murder,

red flags are poppin' up all over the place.

Can you give me some time to look into this?

Most of our records were lost in the fire.

How convenient.

Four other band offices went up in flames this year alone.

Don't give me that, Kevin.

You know this council is turning things around!

I want to believe you, Victor.

But we can't just look the other way on this.

Do you want me to look into this?

Or are you just here to... accuse Blackstone

of mismanagement?

The facts are the facts. We just want answers.

I'll give you two weeks and then if there's no progress,

we need to discuss who's gonna manage Blackstone.

We'll see about that.

(Wilma) Are you going to see Gail today?

No.

Are you?

Yes, I am.

I just...

Don't know what to do with her.

She's had a hell of a year. Maybe she deserves a break.

She doesn't deserve a break!

She needs to stop being selfish!

When's it gonna stop? When she's dead?

Is that what you want?

Because that's where she's headed... without you.

Smokey.

Holy shit...

Sarah Bull.

What are you up to?

You know, just trying to deal with some stuff.

That's good.

Yeah! It is.

So.. ummm, you living in the city now?

Yeah. And you? Where?

Believe it or not, I'm back on Blackstone.

You know, deep down, I always knew you were a res girl.

Easy...

I'm not the same old pushover I once was.

And who's this?

Oh...

This is Tracy's girl, Wendy.

Say "hi."

Hi.

(Smokey) Hi.

This is Gail and Leona's brother.

Really?

(Smokey) You know, your aunt used to be my girl.

Many, many years ago.

She was so beautiful.

(sotto voce) Fuck you.

I mean...

Still is.

Whatever.

So, uh...

(Smokey) We should catch up.

Do you... have time for a coffee, or...?

I have to get her back.

Yeah. But...

You should come out to Blackstone.

Lots has changed.

You'd be surprised.

Woo!

Dance, baby.

Come on, mom!

Woo!

[Laughing]

Woo-hoo!

Woo!

[Laughing]

Woo!

Oh fuck!

I'm sure it has.

Come on, come on.

Woo!

Fuck, I'm good.

Two outta three, you skinny bitch.

(Gail) Twenty bucks.

Kick her fucking scrawny little ass, mom.

OK.

One, two, three. Go!

Holy shit!

Hey, Smoke...

Go get us another bottle.

Fuck you. You go.

Can't you see I'm trying to kick mom's ass here?

Well hurry up and fucking get it done.

You can take dad's truck.

Shit, you're tough!

Ha! Woo! Pay up!

Don't you fucking dare take his truck!

Why? He's not usin' it.

Don't you ever disrespect him again.

Or I'll slap the shit outta you!

Go ahead! Hit me!

You're a selfish little bastard!

(Sarah) Yeah, everything has changed.

The girls are on the wagon and...

Gail's on the wagon?

She was doing really good for a while there.

And then... I don't know.

Same old story.

No, really. She turned herself around.

And she was seeing Greg Nepoose but...

Some bad shit happened with Darrien and...

She couldn't handle it.

Bullshit excuses.

You know, that's all they know.

It's the same shit over and over again.

She's probably just as fucked-up as ever.

Cool down!

You're nowhere near perfect.

What? Ten years has smartened you up?

Yeah, you know what? It has.

I guess running away fixes everything.

I gotta go.

Oh? Same old fuckin' story.

Gail just tried to kill herself.

She's in the hospital.

(Jumbo) Go! Go! Right on!

Chip and chase, boys. Chip and chase!

I can't believe they won six outta their last seven.

They're due for a loss.

Yeah!

Way to go!

Woo!

Settle the fuck down!

So how much have you got on this one?

Just 500.

Seriously, babe? How much?

Five K.

(knocking)

(Smokey) Knock, knock.

When did they let you out?

Sarah told me you took another tumble.

Yeah, more like straight off the fucking cliff.

I brought you some flowers.

I see that.

I haven't seen you in forever and...

Now you're bringin' me flowers?

Do you want me to leave?

Yeah, you're good at that.

Fuck you then, eh? See ya.

Wait, wait. Hey!

Don't go.

You always were a softy.

You always were a hard-ass.

So, um...

Can you get outta bed?

Do you wanna take a walk?

Uhhh...

I'm, I'm kinda laid up here.

Alright.

We can hang out here.

(whispers) It's good to see you.

(club music)

I like the other ones better.

The blue ones?

Take those off and put the other ones on.

Red's a "go" colour.

Come on...

I'll look after you.

How much you got?

Enough.

Sweet.

[Snorting]

Your dad used this room all the time.

You know my dad?

Every dancer knows of your dad.

How well do you know him?

Sick!

Not like that.

I think my sister fucked 'im.

(gasps)

Can I just have a look and see what you have here?

Yeah, that's an old address.

Oh.

You might wanna... check with her.

And she'll give you the proper...

OK.

Mom's right. Come on, I'll just use your car.

(Smokey) Fuck that. Take dad's truck!

He's not usin' it. He's fuckin' dead .

Fuck you, Smokey!

Fuckin' beat me up too? Try it!

(Gail) Waste of my time, boy.

Hey, come have a drink with us!

(Leona) Where's Natalie?

She's nappin'.

What are you celebrating this time?

It's fuckin' Tuesday.

(Leona) Smoke, what are you doing?

Aren't you tired of all this?

(Gail) Just have one shot!

You know I can't just have one.

What the fuck is your problem?

You're hammered again.

So?

You're fuckin' sober again.

This bullshit is not gonna bring him back.

Well fuck you! Get the fuck outta here!

Who the fuck needs you anyways?

Yeah, you gotta have this all set up by 5 o'clock.

Okay...

Beer?

No!

It's all there.

I'm just doin' my due diligence.

Give me a fucking break.

Can you let me have my moment?

No more. It's over.

Whaddya mean?

You're putting me in a fucking difficult situation

with Daryl. And I don't like it.

What's the problem? You don't like losing?

I'm not your friend. That's Daryl's problem.

But since I'm the only one fucking him,

we're gonna play by my rules.

OK.

Easy.

Actually wanted to double down for Saturday's game.

Well forget it.

Go back to betting with your other bum-fucks!

I'm out.

OK, I'll just, uhh, tell Darryl and he can tell Jack.

No big deal.

OK, big boy.

One more and that's it.

I'm not lying to Daryl anymore.

(door opens and closes)

Hey!

Hey.

Are you hungry? I could... cook somethin'.

No, I just came to grab some clothes.

Are you sure? I should eat, too.

Maybe you should clean this place up.

Why?

Look, you better snap out of this.

Whatever this is.

He's not getting out.

Why don't you clean up?

You see? That's why I don't stay here!

I can't stand this!

Oh, you're too cool for your mom now?

No.

I have a life. You don't.

How can you talk to me like that?

Whatever.

I'm grabbing my clothes.

(Ward sounds)

(Cecil) Please...

(Leona) Natalie would be proud of you.

(Cecil) Do not self-destruct.

(Ntalie) Mom, I love you.

(Gail) Guess we'll make ‘em pay, 'uh?

(Cecil) For all of the damage that's been done.

(gunshots)

(gail) Don't you ever fucking tell me

that you know what it's like.

What future?

You feelin' OK, mom?

What do you think?

I love you!

I'll probably hafta piss in a bag

for the resta my life.

I told you not to drink.

You're too weak.

(sarcastically) Yeah?

I lasted longer than you.

Why don't you forgive me?

I didn't have anyone.

You had Smokey.

You remember that time he drove his bobcat into the river?

He nearly fuckin' drowned!

(scream)

He pulled your head outta the toilet more than once.

Why do you always have to bring that fuckin' shit up?

He used to babysit me.

When you went on your epic benders.

He took me to Vancouver.

You didn't even know.

(laughter)

Why didn't you tell me?

I showed you the pictures.

I'd like to see those pictures.

He probably still has them.

He was always...

Good with that stuff.

I tried to get him to stay.

But he was so cold and bitter.

Some people can only take so much.

Some people can only take so much.

I understand now...

Why you killed yourself.

I didn't kill myself!

Yeah!

You did.

[Gasping]

(monitor beeping)

Gina!

No, no. No. No. No.

Let's go up to my office.

Come on.

No! Gina!

What's going on here?

Fuck! Jumbo...

(Jumbo) I's just looking for the liquor order for next week.

It's in the liquor room.

Yeah, where it always is!

Oh. Because I just thought that...

That's a good one! You just "thought?"

It's fucking surprising you even have a thought!

(Daryl) Hey! Easy.

What the fuck's goin' on between you two?

Nothing.

He knows better.

You know better.

You're right.

Go?

Wanna go upstairs?

(whispers) Yeah...

(Smokey) Hey.

Oh hey.

I thought you were coming by tomorrow.

No, I was just at CFS down the street.

CFS?

Yeah.

I usually uhh... take in at-risk youth.

You know, they call them "emergency extractions."

It's usually just on the weekends.

Really?

Yeah really.

Don't even get me started about CFS.

Sh..it.

I'll leave.

No, I'll go.

Why don't you both stay and I'll go.

(Wilma) Hey Smokey, can we talk for a minute?

About what?

I don't know.

I have to go.

Please.

I'm asking.

Please?

What? You wanna catch up?

Yeah. Yeah I do.

I don't have time for you.

Things are different now.

Oh yeah?

What's different, mom?

(Wilma) Here, Smoke.

Go on, take the truck. Go get us another one.

That's exactly what you need, is another one.

(Smokey) Oh ho, you think you're so smart?

You're always fucking right!

You think you're so fuckin' tough?

Come on! Let's go!

I fuckin' dare you!

No! Smokey!

I'll fuckin' kill you!

[Screaming]

Smokey! Smokey!

Get off of her you asshole!

You think drinking is gonna make it OK, Smokey?

He's gone and you need to deal with that!

He would be ashamed of you!

You fuckin' cold-hearted bitch!

Don't you fuckin' feel anything?

I know you think you're not my boy.

But I love you just like my own and so did he.

You don't care about me! None of you!

I'm just your fuckin' little bastard.

No! That's not even true!

Come on, Smokey. Don't go!

Fuck you!

Don't go!

(Wilma) We're dealing with our shit.

Oh yeah.

I can see Gail is a real testimony to your

wild fuckin' success.

(Sarah) No, no, no, Dave.

We need it done by the end of this week.

Or else council will withhold payment.

We have two more buildings we want you to finish.

Yeah!

We want to work with you, OK?

So don't disappoint council.

Yes.

Thank-you.

Wow.

Looks like living on Blackstone really toughens y'up.

Contractors, you know?

They take advantage of us all the time.

They leave us no choice.

Yeah, it's all about the money isn't it?

Makes the world go around.

(Victor) Well, the prodigal returns.

Yeah, like a pig to his own vomit.

Ummm...

I gotta go get Wendy.

But I just got here.

I know. Sorry.

I'll see you later tonight.

See ya, Smokey.

See ya.

So, uh...

are you two... shacked-up yet?

No.

Where's Gloria?

Back east with Victoria.

Looks like you got yourself a real keeper this time.

What are you doing back here?

Sarah invited me.

Said... uh, a lot has changed.

Yeah, we're gettin' there.

She wasn't pissin' around.

Things are upside down aren't they, "Chief?"

(under his breath) See ya later.

(Smokey) I had this one kid in one weekend.

And he comes in, he's kickin' and screamin' and hollering.

And screaming and everything.

And my work colleague puts her arms around him, right?

He throws his head back and splits her eye open.

Oh shit. I gotta go.

I'll talk to you ladies later.

What are you doing back here?

I was visiting Sarah.

What for?

Look, I don't wanna fight.

Really? Then maybe you should leave.

Things have changed and we don't want you here.

What the fuck did I ever do to you?

Are you serious ?

You guys wanted me to leave. I went. What's the problem?

That you didn't stay gone!

Mom and Gail were the only ones that missed you around here.

That's some talk comin' from a fuckin' councillor!

We don't need another drunk around here!

Yeah, well those things have changed, too!

(door slams)

(Victor) They're serious about this.

It's not going away.

Andy used to be able to handle INAC.

(Victor) We don't want that reputation anymore.

(Rick) You say what you want about Andy,

but Blackstone's reputation at INAC is solid!

It's so solid

that they're threatening to bring in a third party manager.

Didn't you tell them the files were lost in the fire?

(Rita) Doesn't matter.

There're still large holes in our financial reporting

over the last two years !

Andy would be the only one who really knows.

Nice ride.

I just picked it up.

Did Daryl hook you up with that guy?

No, I got a cousin down at south side.

He kinda gave me a deal.

What kinda deal?

You know., uh... the "friends and family discount."

What's it cost?

Like I said, I got a deal.

Saw you in the fuckin' safe last week.

So?

So... ?

No one's allowed in the safe but Daryl.

Well, it doesn't look like that... does it?

(Debbie) Bull. Shit!

Why can't you just put me back in our old place?

We're maxed out. Unless you want a trailer?

A fucking trailer?

That's all you've got?

What do you want me to do?

There's 5,6 people to one house.

You're by yourself!

Alan lives with me!

That's not what I heard.

Well could you at least...

increase my weekly payments?

You get what everyone else gets.

How fair is that?

Why can't you just... put me back

into my old house?

I told you...

It's occupied.

And you and Andy will never live in that house again.

(Andy) How's your mom doin'?

Tell'er to come see me.

Yeah, I would if she'd listen to me.

How's work?

I think Jumbo's stealing.

Are you shittin' me!?

No. He bought a new truck...

Caught him in the safe last week.

What!?

Yeah, he's gamblin' like crazy.

Define "crazy."

I don't know. Probably thousands.

Fuckin' Jumbo!

Gina's taking his action.

Oh, fuck me!

Should I uh.. should I tell Daryl?

No...

He relies on that fat fuck more than you know.

What should we do?

Hide a video camera in Daryl's office on the safe.

And tie it into the system.

How'm I s'pposed to do that?

Call Travis at Allied and tell him you're my son.

And he'll work it out.

[Laughing]

(Nurse)Time to change your bag.

Oh, goodie.

I think I'm just gonna... go over here.

(Gail) Gross y'out or what?

Yup.

It'll only be a minute.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

I um, talked to mom.

So?

And she... talked to Leona.

And?

I just think it's time we put this shit behind us.

Why?

She was different then. Dad dying really fucked us up.

Did you ever think about what that did to me?

He loved you.

We all loved you.

You don't know what it was like

to think you were part of a family...

And then to find out it was just lies.

It wasn't just a lie. Bullshit.

Why didn't they tell me I wasn't theirs?

Because it didn't matter!

To them, but what about me?

You know...

Families argue, they, they... they fight...

They say things that hurt each other.

That doesn't mean you can just leave and not talk to them.

You have no idea what I went through.

When dad died I felt like

I felt like I had no one.

But you did.

You just couldn't see it because you were so pissed off

at the world around you.

I had to leave.

It was too much.

She wouldn't have let you or Leona go.

(door creaks open with knocking)

(Smokey) Hello!?

(Sarah, warmly) Hey.

Hey.

You got time for a coffee?

Uh...sure. Come on in.

It's tea.

Tea is good.

So you have Wendy now?

Yup.

I'm her legal guardian.

Must be hard on Leona.

What are you gonna do? She's family.

Yeah.

Why didn't you call first?

Didn't have your number.

Ah.

Right.

Do you remember how we used to sneak into the drive-in?

Under the fence?

Yeah and I tore my jeans.

You had that big nasty gash on your ass.

I had to use my shirt to wipe off all the blood.

I had to explain to my mom why I came home shirtless.

She took a strip off of me.

At least you had a mom.

Yeah...

Somethin' like that.

You, uh...

still got that scar on that sweet ass of yours?

Lemme see it.

No!

Come on!

Just... one little peek.

No!

Please.

I'm really happy with Victor now.

Sarah Merasty.

It's kinda got a nice little ring to it.

(clears throat)

Holy shit!

You like?

C'mere.

Uh-uh!

Not yet.

If you're lookin' to pull a few shifts,

I know the guy to talk to.

This is only for you.

I like the sound of that.

Oh baby, take it off.

Patience...

Fuck. That.

Oh shit!

Fucking caveman.

Why don't you move in?

Here?

Yeah, here.

Maybe.

What the fuck does maybe mean?

Things are going good aren't they?

Well maybe I want 'em to get better?

Well... I'll make sure of that.

Yeah?

(gail) Right here, boy.

(Smokey) OK, Chief.

OK, just wait.

OK, take it away.

You good?

Yeah.

I'm glad you... came to see me.

It means a lot.

No problem.

I think you should... talk to mom.

What for? I don't need that shit in my life.

Leona and I didn't talk to her for years, but...

She really has changed.

Shit. You sound like my fucking counsellor.

No shit?

Yeah.

You know I've been goin' for three years?

Really?

Yeah, I was angry...

I hated her and then I realized that...

It was better just to let go and move on.

Yeah, well...

It's good to... get help.

Yeah...

Once I let the hate go...

It changed my life.

What about you?

I think you should talk to Leona, too.

Shit...

They're threatenin' to third-party manage Blackstone.

Nice work, Victor.

It's because of you! And your dad.

I'm not chief. You are.

You want your legacy to reflect complete failure?

Because that's what everyone's gonna see.

I'm not the one who's gonna go down for this.

Yeah, well, you're kiddin' yourself.

Everyone will blame you.

It's so easy to see that this all happened

when you were chief!

Victor...

I don't think I have to sit here and re-educate you

on how the media is gonna distort and manufacture

this story to crucify you and the band council.

In the end...

The people of Blackstone

are gonna be the ones who suffer the most.

You're wrong.

Do you honestly think the media gives a flying fuck

about who was chief and when?

The story is that Indians are fucking over

the Canadian taxpayer.

And if you think for one second, that's not true...

You're fuckin' high.

What do I do?

Well now...

Isn't this ironic?

I'm askin' for your help!

It's not as easy as you think, is it?

Blackstone doesn't deserve to go through this anymore.

OK then...

I want Alan and Deb moved into a new house.

I want Deb to have a pay increase.

I don't know, figure out some bullshit honorarium.

And I want an unconditional educational grant for Allan.

You got it?

I can't do that.

Oh, yes you can.

(knocking)

Hey.

I was just in the neighbourhood...

I figured I'd... stop in.

(Wilma) Come in.

(Smokey) Are you sure?

She'll be OK.

S'down.

Do you want some tea?

D'ya got any coffee?

No.

I'm good.

What do you want?

(Wilma) Hey!

Easy!

Can we just talk?

I'll just leave.

No you won't. Sit down.

Leona...

Please sit down.

Why?

Because I asked you to.

No, I'm good here.

I wanna talk to both of you.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

(Wilma) It was my fault.

I want to make things better.

What... is your fault?

He brought booze back into this family.

We were all doing better and he ruined it!

No, he didn't. It was me. He didn't ruin anything!

He left us!

Just let it go!

You know what? I'm tired of fighting!

You and me both.

I never quit caring for you and I want you to know that.

I wanna make things better in this family.

(Smokey) Make things better?

Why now?

She's dying.
