(gravel crunching)

(frogs chirping)

What the fuck is the matter with them?

Not lettin' Deb be buried on Blackstone!

Stop it, dad.

They treated her like shit when you were gone!

Embarrassing...

Not to mention completely without honour!

(Andy) I know, dad. Now I want you to stop.

We built that community and that's how they treat us?

Deb was like a daughter to me

and they bury her way the fuck out here!?

Will you show some fucking respect?

Please!

I don't even know what to say.

You were the only person...

In my entire, fucked-up existence who knew me.

I mean really knew me.

And I didn't even have a chance to say good-bye to you.

I'm so fuckin' sorry, Deb...

...so fuckin' sorry.

They can't get away with this.

It was Victor wasn't it?

Alan's all you got left. Think about Alan!

Tell me it was Victor.

The Fraser legacy is being erased.

It was him wasn't it?

Don't let Victor forget what we had done

and who should control Blackstone.

Don't worry.

I won't.

(Bradshaw) We just want you to talk to Victor.

(Shauna) He might listen to you...

You were Chief for a long time.

Him and I aren't exactly friends.

Well, what if you came at it from, um...

"What's best for the community."

He wouldn't believe me.

(Shauna) And what if you said, if you don't do this,

they go away and then Blackstone misses out

on a huge economic opportunity?

I tried to buy him before and it didn't work.

Have you tried that lately?

Tried what? What do you mean?

We're just saying things at Blackstone have... changed.

(Bradshaw) Maybe we could, um, continue to help you out.

I don't know you two from a fuckin' hole in the ground.

And you wanna help me beat a murder rap ?

(Bradshaw) We got you out on bail...

Who knows what else we can do for you?

(Traffic noise)

(Traffic noise)

[Crowd noise]

This is real! Look at what happened on the Athabasca.

Tonnes of toxic coal slurry leached into the river.

This isn't coal!

We use our river for food.

What if that happened here?

At this point, they just wanna test.

And it's nowhere near the river.

That's how it starts.

And then comes all the lies and the excuses

when things go wrong.

(Rick) If we don't take their offer now,

it could all go away.

And then we'll have nothing.

We'll have our health and our children's health.

[Applause]

OK, OK!

Everyone in this room knows our financial situation.

Nobody's hiding anything!

I smell bullshit!

Yeah!

They just wanna test! That's it. We should try.

Forget that shit!

Hey! Stop it, you guys!

They got you counting bottles now?

Hey!

Could you go make me a burger?

If you want some pole time, lady,

you'll have to be a lot fuckin' nicer than that.

That's an idea.

My ass is lookin' pretty fuckin' tight.

Yeah?

Well, if you wanna headline...

You might wanna pickup some tits.

Another good idea.

I should tell you...

I'm fuckin' the boss.

Oh! Is that so?

Yeah it's so.

I should never let Jumbo start with you.

I fuckin' know better'n that.

I shouldn'of let it happen.

I know better.

Fucker got in deep fast.

That's how it happens.

I've seen it too many times.

Yeah. Stupid fuck.

He's lucky he didn't get clipped.

Yeah ?

Yeah, I'll clip you.

Yeah?

Who's gonna headline tonight?

What do you want?

Watch your fuckin' mouth, Victor.

This is still my community.

We don't need you here.

Oh, like my wife? Whose body...

you cocksuckers wouldn't allow to be buried here?

That wasn't my idea!

Oh, I'm sure you didn't know a thing about it.

Which isn't surprising to me

since you have your head up your ass most of the time.

What do you want?

It's hard isn't it?

We're doing what we can.

Things are under control.

Oh, I saw that when I walked in.

Very controlled, Victor.

Isn't there a jail cell calling you back home?

You're gettin' a taste of

what it's really like, aren'tcha?

They will constantly complain about one thing or another.

Nothing is ever good enough...

Even when it is.

Lemme tell you somethin', Vic.

As acting chief, you usually have two choices.

But this time there's only one.

You absolutely have to keep money flowing

into the community.

Let them drill...

I'll call INAC.

And it'll all go away.

Why would you help me?

This isn't about you, Victor.

This is about Blackstone.

Hey! Chief.

There he is.

I know some people lookin' for you.

Yeah, I bet you do.

Want a ride somewhere?

Yeah. Hey! Can you hook me up with a place to stay?

Sure. You can sleep in my fuckin' bed, too.

I'm serious. I ain't fuckin' around.

Look, kickin' your ass to get you sprung out of the joint

is the only fuckin' favour I'll ever do for you.

Who do you think kept your fat ass outta the morgue

in remand, huh?

That's a crock of shit and you know it.

Yeah?

Who d'you think got Perry to back off?

Huh?

Who took care of the Russians?

Who knows every fuckin' guard in that place?

Vinny.

[Laughs]

That pussy?

He's a fucking crybaby.

He begged me to help you.

Oh Darrien, help Andy. I'll suck your cock.

I gotta go.

Is that how it's gonna be, 'uh?

Get your fuckin' hand offa my truck.

There ya go, Chief.

You've got a good fucking memory.

Whoa, whoa. No, no. The food has to be there at three.

Yeh, uh...

And the banner's ready, right?

And are you takin' care of the kids' activities?

OK. OK, good. OK.

Don't hurt yourself.

This shit's important, man.

I agree.

Yeah, right? We only do this once a year.

I wish people'd appreciate that.

(Sarah) Preachin' to the choir.

Yeah, huh?

So, uh, you, you can help me with this, right?

What is it?

Serious?

What?

The feast to honour the elders, right?

Oh shit...

We've been so busy with the oil and gas stuff.

All the drilling and all that.

We completely forgot all about that.

Are you fuckin' with me?

(Laughs) I'm just kidding.

Everything's all set up. Relax.

You are so bad.

(City noise)

What's going on now?

Sitting Rock's lawyer just said

they're filing an injunction

against Blackstone's attempt to test.

Nothing's been decided yet.

This is to make sure it doesn't happen.

This is none of their business.

I can tell you that you're making a big mistake.

Really? You think I don't know what this is about?

No, you don't.

You can tell Sitting Rock this testing won't affect them!

If you let them test, it'll affect everyone!

Sitting Rock is downriver.

I'll keep that in mind while our community suffers

and Sitting Rock prospers!

Whose fault is that?

Get in the game, Victor.

There's opportunity everywhere.

Nothing's been decided yet.

And you. You won't be deciding for us.

Let me handle my community.

(Gail) So, uh...

How is this oil-thing goin'?

Oh, well...

Victor's all messed up over it all.

I know what he should do.

Yeah?

He should do like a community vote, right?

And in one of the boxes...

It says, "Fuck You!"

Yeah?

Yup.

You know, there could be millions under Blackstone.

Really?

Yeah I don't know. That's just what they say.

Who's "they?"

The oil and gas guys.

So you don't know?

Well, Victor's handling it.

Oh yeah...

Victor's on the fence.

(Counsellor) It's a wasted opportunity if we reject this.

We're in deep shit! INAC's all over our ass.

And it's getting tight.

(Counsellor) Nothing's being financed

except essential services.

(Rick) Things have really changed.

We need you... to make them go away.

And how do you expect me to do that?

We all have families, Andy.

- Call in some favours. - Yeah

(Rick) What about your buddy from INAC?

I'm in a bit of a hole right now,

but I'll see what I can do.

It's a shit show with INAC and this oil thing.

Victor has no idea what to do.

The community's divided.

So in other words, nothing's changed.

They're not pissin' around this time.

We need you back.

Check this shit!

Shale's owned by "Premiere Oil."

What?

I thought they were telling everyone they're independent.

It's not "they."

It's Victor that's tellin' everyone that.

Well, they must have told Victor that then.

What the fuck is up with that guy?

Gail, Victor wouldn't intentionally hide anything

from the community.

Oh yeah? What makes you so sure?

Whenever something goes wrong,

you can't just blame Chief and Counsel.

You sound like them.

Who the fuck is "them?"

The faceless minority that's constantly criticising

while never really contributing to their own community.

Yeah.

Go save your whitey-ass words for the kids, man.

Victor is doing what he can.

Y'know..

it's funny that the same shit happens

no matter who the Chief is.

It's big business.

They have deep pockets and no regard for consequence.

Victor didn't even finish high school.

So? Neither did you!

I'm not Chief.

Besides what does that have to do with anything?

I d'know. At least Andy's got a business degree.

Oh now you're sticking up for Andy?

Victor wouldn't do anything offside.

Hey, boss.

What'd I tell you 'bout settin' up the bar this late?

We open in 20 minutes.

I thought you wanted me

to go through the liquor order first.

You shoulda done that two hours ago

instead of trying to stick your dick in one of my dancers.

(Dave) Don'tcha think one o'the bar porters

should be doin' this anyway?

Really...?

Yeah. I'm just sayin', if I'm a manager,

I shouldn't hafta setup the bar.

OK...

You got any other magnetic pearls a'wisdom for me?

I'm just saying, did Jumbo have to set up the bar?

(Daryl) So... if you don't have to learn how to set up the bar...

How are you gonna teach anybody else how to do this?

"Mr. Manager?"

Dave...

You gotta get the fuck outta here, right now.

I'm sorry...

No, you get the fuck outta here

before I stick this...

Gimme that bottle!

And you guys fuckin' go to work.

(Truck engine)

(Door opens)

(chuckles)

(slowly) There she is...

New 'Chief's bitch', 'uh?

What!?

Relax...

Ain't gonna do nothin'.

What d'you want?

What...

Can't I come by for a little visit?

They're lookin' for you.

So?

Got anything to drink?

No.

The house is dry.

Fuck.

Anything to eat?

What the fuck do you want, Darrien?

There's that fuckin' mouth again, huh?

You think because you're the new chief's bitch...

You can talk to me like that?

Huh!?

Maybe you... need a drink to get things started, huh?

I'll make you something to eat.

Want some toast?

Lend me some cash?

I don't have much.

No shit. Is this all you got?

Victor will be be home any minute.

Good.

(chuckles)

(Sarah) Hey!

(Wendy) We went to the mall and Victor bought me a dress

and two shirts!

What! I told Victor not to spoil you.

(Wendy) Don't worry. He didn't. I need these for school.

Oh and who told you that?

Victor said. He said I'm growing a lot.

Well, why don't you go try them on for me, OK?

Did you say thank-you to Victor?

Yup!

(Victor) She did. Three times.

Darrien's out.

What!?

He just fucking left.

Here?

Yeah!

Stu!

Darrien Tailfeathers has been seen on Blackstone.

Yeah.

Can you send somebody out here?

Thank-you.

What did he want?

He took some cash and I gave him a necklace to pawn.

The one I gave you.

Well what? He was gonna beat the shit outta me.

Hi Teresa.

Can you put out a community-wide email and text that...

Darrien is back and if anybody sees him,

to contact the office?

Thank-you.

What the fuck is that gonna do?

Everyone's scared shitless of him.

(Andy) OK. Where are we going with this?

Well, the offer is the same as it was yesterday.

My client's not prepared to take that.

We asked you to come in higher or it's no deal.

Well, we think the offer is solid and fair.

This is unacceptable.

(Bradshaw) You know what's unacceptable?

Is you wanting more when the offer is more than fair.

(Andy) No-no-no-no-no. Wait a fuckin' minute here.

You just said... it was "fair and solid."

Now you want "more than fair?"

(Darcy) Let's go, Andy.

(Bradshaw) Why don't you go?

Andy can stay.

(Darcy) Why?

We think Andy wants to hear what we have to say...

Without you here.

(Andy) It's OK, Darcy.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Big mistake.

So what d'you want?

Shauna, you should leave too.

We don't wanna fuck around anymore.

Take it or leave it.

Now you're talkin'. Let's hear it.

It's real simple:

We help you. You help us.

You really think Syd Samuels is your saviour?

Hey-hey, "bone-rack!"

Let's put away the knives, 'uh?

Don't you fuckin' move .

Everyone's lookin' for you, Darrien.

Well...

Here I am.

What are you doing here?

Relax.

I just came back t'say good-bye to Wendy.

She's not here.

Don't you fuckin' lie to me.

You can go check for yourself. She's not here.

Go ahead. Call the cops.

Tell 'em to hurry!

Got a little story I wanna tell 'em, too... 'uh?

'Member that one?

(chuckles)

'K, so I'll see you later.

You can go.

So?

Where is she?

What're you? Deaf?

Where's Wendy?

She lives with Sarah now, 'K?

S'matter?

Don'tcha want her anymore?

No. She, she had to be with family.

Fuck you got a mouth on you, don'tcha?

Don't. Darrien. Ow! Ow!

You should go see her.

Maybe I will...

OK.

Go ahead. Make that call, 'uh?

Say hello to bitch sister, huh?

Adios, bone rack. (door slams)

This page as well. I'll need this one.

(whispers) I'll talk to you in a bit, OK?

Hey, Joe.

(Joe) I need to talk to you before the meeting.

We shut Shale down because of their ethics policy

involving the North River disaster.

No clean up, no responsibility and then lying

about the effects of the spill.

It's not that easy.

You don't need the money.

Do you need obscure cancers and illnesses

to suddenly show up in your community?

How much money is that worth?

Joe, you're overreacting.

Really!?

Talk to Pine River and Eagle Lake.

That's just two that have to deal with the toxic levels...

serious toxic levels after exploration.

Those communities have had their problems and you know it.

Joe...

We're in deep financial trouble.

Maybe this will be different.

I don't know what to do.

Take more time.

Challenge'em... on their policies and procedures.

Ask them about the what-ifs.

Isn't that what lawyers are supposed to do?

That's what the leaders are supposed to do!

Well...

I'll have to do what I think is right

for this community then.

(Traffic noise)

(murmuring)

(Alan) We shouldn't have to sit here

and keep waiting for Victor. Where is this fuckin' guy?

He'll be here any minute.

(Gail) This is bullshit.

We shouldn't even let them drill!

Yeah!

This means jobs for a lotta people.

At what cost?

What are you talkin' about? It's just testing.

Yeah, so shut up, you little shit.

Yeah! Go back to the city.

I know my dad would never let this meeting happen

and everyone in here knows that.

Your dad would find a way to take the money for himself.

(Leona) There's a time to take advantage of opportunity

and this isn't one of those times.

This company has a long history

of dishonesty and corruption.

(Rick) Leona...

How do you know?

Research.

Years ago, and some of you might remember,

we were in the same situation.

We stood tall. We didn't let them drill.

And we kept the integrity of the land.

Yeah.

And they went north and built

the biggest oil sand development in North America.

These new techniques are safer.

(Gail) Yeah but there's all these new diseases

and cancer poppin' up.

Who are you to talk about this, ya fuckin' drug addict?

(Leona) Hey! Watch with the personal attacks.

We need to figure this out together.

(Darcy) Let's face facts.

The reality is they might find something.

Even if they don't, they could damage the land forever.

Bullshit.

Rick, we don't need your negative attitude here.

(Rick) Why? Because I'm tryin' to make the community better?

You're a disgrace to this community.

(Rick) What do you even know about this community?

You don't even live here. Or have a family.

Oh yeah?

Fuck you!

[Yelling]

Get the fuck off of me!

Victor's failed this community!

Things were never this bad when my dad was chief.

(Leona) We can't let this happen now.

It is not the right time.

We're just not gonna let them drill.

[Applause]

What's up, Alan?

Those fuckin' idiots are gonna block the road.

Those idiots are your community, son.

My community?

(laughs)

Well, where do you wanna be? Here or there?

What?

Look...

Every single person in this community

knows you're in the city bangin' strippers and doing blow

every night until the fuckin' sun comes up.

And they don't have an ounce of respect for you.

Yeah? So?

You did it. What's the difference?

The difference is - I provided every fuckin' thing for them

And if there was a problem, I handled it.

Bullshit. Leona kicked your ass.

And how long did that last? Huh?

Blockade's a mistake.

Yeah? What the fuck do you know about it?

Why don't you do something about this?

I am!

Oh yeah? What're you gonna do?

You gonna make a difference from a fuckin' jail cell?

You wanna make a difference?

You wanna see things change?

Then go back to school and educate yourself.

Invest in this community.

Learn how to fight for this fucking place.

That's the difference.

Really...

What'd that do for you, huh?

Where did that fucking get you?

Alright...

Have it your way.

Let him go.

He has to find his own journey.

He's so... fuckin' stupid.

Remind you of anyone?

At least I listened to you.

No you didn't.

You were all about yourself. You did what you wanted.

That's because you taught me.

How the fuck am I supposed to know any better

if that's all you taught me?

He's just like you.

(Gail) OK! Let's get this goin'.

Put this over there please. That barrel.

Throw that that thingy somewhere in that area.

Take that...

Hey! Take this.

Put them on signs.

Good.

You gotta get in there, mom.

(Gail) Maybe get the fire goin', guys.

That's a big fuckin' truck.

They won't be able to get through.

How many more are coming?

(Leona) I d'know.

I'm sure the cops will be here soon though.

OK, I'll move my truck.

(Gail) Hey, where's Wendy?

Oh...she's at the rec centre. They're gonna come by later.

Do you know where Victor is?

Does he know about this?

I'm not sure.

Have you talked to him?

Not really.

Fuckin' figures.

(Truck air horns)

Can he even be here? I mean this is illegal.

Maybe he has to distance himself from all this.

See? I told you.

He's fuckin' up to somethin'.

No. Sarah's got a point.

We don't even have the right to do this on our own land.

(Gail) Yeah, well...

Someone must have given them the right.

(Diesel idling)

(Police siren)

Oh shit. The boys are here.

Oh my goodness.

Oh shit.

Well, the cops got here before our chief.

(Leona) He'll be here.

(Gail) Wow. Looks like it's a party.

(Leona) Oh, they don't look too pleased do they?

(Gail) No.

You're making a big fucking mistake!

(Gail) Get the fuck outta here, ya leech.

You don't have a family to support.

Fuck you! You son of a bitch!

Fucker!

What're you doing here?

You'll see. You'll fuckin' see.

Woah. What is goin' on with you?

(laughing)

(Bradshaw on phone) OK. OK.

Bye.

He says he has no idea what's going on here.

He's Chief. How can all this be going on

without him knowing?

Doesn't surprise me.

I've seen this disconnect on reserves before.

Some of these people think their precious land

is more important than prosperity.

Come on, Hugh. You've seen the latest

gravometric and seismic line reports.

There could be a shitload of oil under Blackstone.

These people are just gonna give it up?

What is he doing here?

(Gail) We invited him.

(Leona) Why?

This doesn't concern him.

This is his community, too.

Not anymore.

Just give him a chance.

You know, mom and me... been spending time with him

and he's really changed, Leona.

(Wilma) On the weekends, he takes in foster kids.

Kids that have nowhere else to go.

(Gail) And he's been seeing Crowshoe for his anger issues.

(Wilma) Sober for three years already.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, my boy!

So glad you came.

Yeah, me too.

I should uh, get you a sign or something, huh?

Yeah.

Here.

[Laughter]

Thanks.

[Laughter]

Good one!

Bring it on!

(Daryl) So you wanna test on our land?

(Andy) That's gonna cost ya.

How much?

(Daryl) We want front and back end.

And guarantees that Blackstone won't see

one red fuckin' cent of this. And I mean nothing.

Done. And done.

No fuckin' around, Hugh.

I'll have Legal call Syd.

We'll be testing later this week.

What about that other thing, Hugh?

(Daryl) It's a package deal.

We'll see what we can do.

No promises there.

(Daryl) You know, if they find something,

Blackstone just might have a claim.

Bullshit.

Why?

Because our land is part of the original treaty land

Blackstone was given, way back when that treaty was signed.

That's too fuckin' bad.

It's ours now.

[Crowd noise]

[Laughter]

Hey! Aw, they're all bologna. Pass them around, guys.

[Laughter]

(Bulllhorn) We wanna discuss this.

Please have someone come talk to us.

We're up.

(Gail) You in charge?

I am.

Do you know Stu at Central?

No, but I could call him if you want.

Might be a good idea.

You're illegally blocking a road.

Under the Traffic Safety Act,

that's an offense that could govern jail time.

Actually, you're on an Indian reserve

that is protected under the Indian Act of Canada.

Did you even know that?

What're you talkin' about? That's not the law.

Let them figure it out.

(chanting)

(Officer) I've checked into this.

And you have no special rights.

You're in direct violation of the Traffic Safety Act.

(Gail) You really sure about that?

(Wilma) This is our land. We can do what we want.

(Gail) We're not movin'.

(Victor) I'm the Chief.

Let me handle this, please.

(Officer) What you're doin' is illegal.

Now please have these vehicles removed immediately.

or you will be arrested.

Yeah, Victor. What's the big deal? It's just testing.

Alan, could you go over there?

What are you doing?

You already agreed to this so what's the problem?

What!?

Fucker!

You didn't tell anyone.

They're just testing.

They already tested with seismic surveys!

(Leona) What're you talking about?

Victor gave them permission to test already.

These guys are here to drill.

Victor, tell me that's not true!

(Alan chuckling)

[Explosion]

[Screaming]

(Cellphone)

Yeah?

What?

Where?

(Daryl) S'goin' on?

Somethin' happened to Alan...

at that blockade.

I'm gonna fuckin' kill Victor.

(Daryl) Andy, don't piss around. You're out on bail.

Andy... Andy!

Hey!

Blockade's done...

Yeah, and Alan's in the hospital.

Yeah, he's hurt really bad.

(chatter)

You think this is a good idea?

Yeah. Been plannin' it for months.

Tonight I'm gonna... I'm gonna talk.

Yeah I guess you're right.

Everybody could use this right now.

(Sarah) So where's everything at?

(Kevin) It's finished. We wrapped it up.

No third party management?

Blackstone will control all services

and all funding will be restored.

Did you get all your audit info from Victor?

Something like that.

What about the fire? Where's that at?

We're all good.

Get the fuck back here.

It all here?

Yup.

Good.

Hey.

Go get changed.

We open in an hour.

Holy! I'm full. You want some dessert?

No! No, I'm good.

I'll have some cake.

I'll get it for you.

Can you get some for me too?

Get some for Wendy too. She really likes that kind.

Oh, OK.

Hey, have you guys seen Wendy?

maybe she's outside

Have you guys seen Wendy?

She was here a minute ago.

I'm gonna check outside.

Wendy!

Oh my god. Where is she?l

She's not over there.

(Gail) Wendy?

Wendy!

- (Leona) Darrien! - (Sarah) Oh my god!

Wendy! Wendy!

Darrien, you son of a bitch! Stop it!

Stop the car!

Oh my god.

Oh my god, oh my god!
