Previously on Blackstone

I thought you quit drinking.

I thought you were dead.

My ex-wife is living in the city with some guy

who's looking after my daughter.

I can't even talk to or hold onto my own kid every night.

I know!

The second he fucking got sick, you ran against him

and stole his fucking life!

He should have supported me, but he didn't.

He should have supported me, but he didn't.

I kept Cecil out of that band office,

and what did I get for it?

I got fuck all!

Whatever peace you're looking for

is not at the bottom of that bottle.

I know, I looked many, many times.

Have you told Cecil you've been seeing me?

No. Did you tell your dad?

Andy's shit is going to catch up to him sooner or later.

Victor, you can't... you can't leave.

Why?

Because I need you.

I want you to look me in the eye,

and tell me you didn't do what you said you did.

and tell me you didn't do what you said you did.

Truth is.

I didn't fuck her.

This is so fucking bad.

Shit.

I'm going to fucking burn for this.

Cecil was everything

you could ask for in a big brother.

you could ask for in a big brother.

Wise.

Compassionate.

Giving.

Sometimes too giving,

when it came to our adolescent fist fights.

He gave selflessly.

And that character and strength is...

obvious in all the people here today whose ...

obvious in all the people here today whose ...

lives he mentored.

When I used to, um

drink.

Cecil always had this way of finding me.

And..

He always made sure I had something in my stomach.

He always made sure I had something in my stomach.

And that I got home okay.

And he...

never...

never judged me.

He meant more to me than words could ever say.

One of the reasons this community has turned around

in the last few years is

Cecil's quiet leadership.

Cecil's quiet leadership.

He was always willing to share his wisdom freely,

and without exception.

When I questioned myself as chief,

it was Cecil who gave me insight and perspective.

And encouraged me to believe in myself.

In Cree...

He would say, "Victor..."

Look at this from another place

Those words may seem like a riddle to some,

But they helped me out many times.

Mishim had a simple solution to most things.

Time.

He said: "Sheila, where and who you spend it with ...

is one of the greatest choices we have"

He chose me.

Most of you don't know what it's like to lose both parents, but.

I can't really tell you I remember them.

He was all that I knew.

And yet, I still didn't miss a thing.

He would tell stories about the old days; the old ways,

and light up a room.

He inspired me with his stories of tradition and purpose.

Inspiring me in ways I can't quite describe

I just know that I am so thankful to him.

For being such an inspiration to me.

And this community.

Is there any pain when you're breathing in?

Okay, good.

(Okay, um, when was the last time you had something

to eat or drink?)

Ray... the Health Centre sent me over here, what's going on?

Ray... the Health Centre sent me over here, what's going on?

We don't know.

It happened this morning and,

The doctor is doing some preliminary tests right now

People just started showing up...

they all have the same symptoms. Stomach?

Yeah.

Sit down.

Hey guys!

How's it going?

Good, good. We got a lot done today so, uh...

Make sure everything is prepared for the concrete coming in.

Hey!

Hi!

Welcome!

Thanks Walt

Hi.

Hey! How's it going?

Good. So, uh... What do you think?

Looks like a fucking field to me.

Well, we got a ways to go but, uh... we're getting there.

Did that interim payment come in from the bank?

Oh ya. Andy pushed it through.

Anyways, ummm... This area right here

is where the main entrance is gonna go.

Right now it looks like a field but in a couple of months

it's gonna be filled with bingo-mania.

Woo!

Woo!

And we're ahead of schedule.

How exactly did he push that payment through?

I think he, uh...

Made it happen with Ted at the bank.

C'mon Victor. I mean, do you want this thing built or what?

Hey Walt, why don't you give us a tour around?

Sounds good. Uhh, just give me a sec;

I'll grab you guys a couple of hard hats.

Okay, right on.

Andy and his back-door business;

we gotta keep on top of that guy.

We are Victor.

Now, would you just look at

the Natalie Stoney Motherfuckin memorial rec-center?

Seriously dude, it's beautiful!

It looks like it could be the water.

Water?

It's consistent with this kind of

radical bacteria related breakout.

I don't know how it happened so fast.

Uhh, usually, in cases like this,

the toxins and the bacteria gets into the ground,

seeps into the water table; it multiplies.

It can happen extremely fast;

it's wiped out entire ecosystems in some areas up north.

Oh my God.

Debbie, is there any way that you can let everyone know

to stop drinking the water immediately?

to stop drinking the water immediately?

Of course, I'm on it.

And call Health Canada, get them to send someone out.

Okay.

Hey Hon.

What the fuck is going on in here?

What're you going to do about this?

What's your plan?

Morning, Ray.

When are you leaving?

I'm not.

The plan is...

I don't need some book-worm, dick-head apple

telling me what to do.

He's just trying to help.

Why don't you start by slithering back

to that fucked-up university you work for,

to that fucked-up university you work for,

and let me take care of everything?

I'm not leavin'.

Who was responsible for taking care of the water last spring?

Look,

First of all,

Are you guys even sure it's a water thing, and secondly,

you, my dear, seem to have forgotten

who was chief here last spring.

Uh, you will need to bring in some water trucks right away.

You might have to build some new wells,

and test the local water tables.

And who's gonna pay for that?

Oh, that's right, all your taxes

pay for our very fucking existence here,

what's another mil or two, right?

what's another mil or two, right?

We need to get a team together

to go door to door for the rest of the community.

Start with the elders and children.

Just...

leave it alone, I'll take care of it.

Yeah, Rick.

Tell Kevin at HC to get his ass down here ASAP.

Ray, it's going to be so nice to have you around here again.

Yeah. Yeah. Pst!

I gotta go.

Look...

This is not how you handle a situation on a reserve.

You create panic with these knee-jerk, bullshit statements.

I've seen this before. It does look like it's the water.

Well, 'looks like' isn't a fucking answer, now, is it?

You think you can come here once a week

and dip your toe into the community and know what's what?

You don't know jack fucking shit.

Look, chief...

I'm just doing what I think is right, I don't have to be here.

You either play ball, or you get the fuck out of here.

Because Ottawa will have another one of you quacks

on a plane tomorrow morning.

What about all the legal stuff?

The house,

His truck,

Furniture.

We'll figure something out.

Maybe my Mom can help.

Ray's been great, but...

What happens when he leaves?

I don't know what to do.

I'm here for you.

Anything you need,

okay?

She's here.

Great.

Are you hungry?

Are you hungry?

You want something to eat? Maybe she can make us lunch.

Please tell me your Dad's not here...

He's never here during the day.

Alan?

Alan!

I'll, uhh, go see what he's up to.

Come here.

Are you okay?

Not really.

If there's anything you need. You just ask, okay?

Thanks, Mom.

Yeah, thanks.

Excuse me

Where would we find Daryl Fraser?

He's in the back office.

Round there?

Yeah.

Thanks.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

That water issue is not that big of a deal

Is was Leona's responsibility.

Is was Leona's responsibility.

Wasn't it?!

You fuckin' idiot!

You were told years ago

that that shit could leach into the wells.

I didn't think anything would happen for 20 or 30 years.

It's gonna cost an arm and a leg to get to the bottom of this.

Let Health Canada deal with it.

Yeah... and then what?

They find out we put a dump on top of the water table?

Unh-unh.

INAC will blame us and we've got enough bad press.

We can figure this out.

We can figure this out.

You just have to let me help.

Let me in.

I thought you wanted me to keep this shit away from you.

Maybe I just need some motivation...

I can be quite resouceful you know.

I won't argue with that.

What's really going on?

Tell me everything.

Fuck. Here we go.

Missing?

Last I heard she went back to Toronto

to catch up with the eastern rotation.

Right.

Her and a dancer named Portia...

kinda 'clicked' if you know what I mean.

No, no I don't.

They 'clicked', like gal pals... fuck sisters.

Whatever you wanna call it, most of these girls swing both ways.

And uh... when was the last time you saw her?

God... It's gotta be... two, three months ago, I think.

God... It's gotta be... two, three months ago, I think.

Ya, she was here for about two weeks... Then like I said.

Went out east.

Did anyone else know where she went?

I don't know.

Did you ask her booking agent?

No, we haven't. But we will.

Sorry. Umm... Cindy Lace called in sick.

See what I mean.

Sick - my ass.

Call Ed's.

See if we can get another girl from Shade for tonight.

Alright?

Fuckin' flakes...

Look - If there's anything else I can do for you

just let me know, alright?

Alright.

I mean, my dancers are important to me.

Sure. Uh...

Do you mind if we talk to some of the dancers?

Not at all.

What do you think if I moved back to Blackstone?

I'll take care of all the stuff and...

you take care of Sheila.

So was Angel hanging out with any guys in particular?

I didn't really know her.

I mean, I heard about her.

One thing's for sure...

She got around.

Oh... and she liked Indians.

Oh yeah?

Dot or feather?

Anyone in particular?

Feather.

Tina...

You're first up tonight

Better get your ass in gear.

I gotta go.

Unless there's anything else?

How well do you know Angel?

I don't.

Well... she'd been working here on and off

Well... she'd been working here on and off

for a few months, right?

I mean, must have seen her with someone?

She kinda kept to herself.

You know... She'd finish a shift and leave.

So you never saw her with anyone?

Look - there's a lot of dancers that come through...

I... I don't keep track.

Uh...

Say... Did you ever, uh... see her with any Indians?

What's up Kevin?

It's not hard to imagine that all this garbage

seeped into the ground causing the contamination.

How can you be sure?

I'll run some tests and we should know in a few days.

You know, if you guys let us start the feasibility study

five years ago maybe you'd have a real water facility by now.

Well, if we could have got INAC to pay for it, we would have.

Who's idea was it to build a dump here anyway?

Who's idea was it to build a dump here anyway?

And with no transfer station?

Not surprised you have problems.

Well, just let me know when the tests are done...

And keep a lid on it, would you?

In the meantime - What do we do?

Bottled water... Or trucked in only.

It's gonna cost a shitload!

I thought you and Leonard took care of that last year?

We did!

We shock treated the wells with bleach.

We shock treated the wells with bleach.

Fast, cheap - Everything was good.

This is something different.

Just keep your mouth shut about it, alright?

Who am I gonna tell?

Well, you're getting pretty fucking comfortable

with Norma and Greg!

You fuckin' told me to!

Just remember who butters your bread, pal

It was your fuckin' idea

to put this stupid dump here in the first place.

So they sent over Stacey - she's here for three days.

Good

But make it a week, okay?

Yeah, okay... Sure.

Hey...

What'd you say to those cops?

You know I wouldn't say anything...

Yeah.

Keep it that way.

We don't need 'em snooping around here, okay?

And whatever you do

don't mention anything about her and Andy.

Alright?

Yeah.

So...

Where do you... Where do you think she is?

I got no idea.

I got no idea.

Swappin' one addiction with another?

I thought you were gone.

Where am I gone to?

I'm a part of you.

No you're not.

As long as you keep hiding, I'll keep finding you.

As long as you keep hiding, I'll keep finding you.

I'm not hiding anything.

Really?

I thought we were done with this bullshit?

You'll never be done being my mommy.

Hey!

Good morning!

Feeling better?

Ya...

The antibiotics are working already.

Mmmm!

Mmm! So what do you want to do today?

Hmmm...

I have a session at the band hall... later on.

You sure you're up for it?

Yeah...

It'll be good for me to get out.

So you're feeling a little bit better, huh?

How 'bout we go back to bed?

What?

Where were you?

Toast.

Toast?

Gail?

What?!

C'mon guys, girl's gotta get a little... somethin' somethin'.

Hey, how 'bout I get a little 'somethin' somethin''?

Hey, how 'bout I get a little 'somethin' somethin''?

Well, why don't you drive back and forth?

We bought you that truck... I'll pay for gas.

Mom...

In rush hour it's like three hours of my life

wasted every day.

It's not a waste to see your mom every night!

That's not what I meant.

Well, how are you gonna pay for a place?

I'll get a job.

Yeah right! You work?

Really Mum, with the amount of extra homework,

the study groups...

the study groups...

I'm not going to be able to commute

back and forth every day.

Well then how are you gonna work?

Do you want me to focus on school and make the best of it?

Or not?

Little shit.

I want you to go over everything,

make sure everything is battened down...

Double check... all these specs, 'k?

What the fuck do you want?

Now is that any way to talk to your favorite client?

Blackstone's my client.

I'm not going to bring you any more business

if you don't play nice with me, Walter.

Now what?

You know that dump site we asked you to prep for us

five years ago?

The one I told you not to put there?

Yeah.

There's been some problems

with shit leaking into the water table.

Shocker.

Yeah, Jimmy...

Can I call you back in five?

Yeah, thanks.

Look - all we need is a dozer and a couple of dump trucks

to haul it to a new site. It'll take a couple days... tops.

I told you it would be a problem.

Do you ever listen to me? No.

Do you ever listen to me? No.

Don't worry about it Walt.

I'll add it to the rec centre budget.

I'll just bump it up a bit.

If we do this it can't be one of your back door deals.

It's got to go through council

and the infrastructure committee.

I'm asking for a favor here Walt.

Just this once.

Too fucking bad.

Hi Gail.

What can I do for you?

Umm...

I've been having a hard time sleeping...

Umm...

I...

I've been getting these dreams...

Nightmares.

About um.

My daughter.

She died and I just.

I can't stop thinking about her.

Well I'm sorry about your daughter.

Um.

I can recommend you a good therapist. And uh.

Maybe I can help you with your sleep.

Do you consume any alcohol? Smoke?

No.

Do you do drugs?

Do you do drugs?

Uh um, I'm sober.

I don't do drugs, and then, well I mean

I smoke once in a while but.

Is it safe to say that you have an addictive personality?

No shit.

Ok.

What's that got to do with sleep?

Well sleep can be a difficult thing to pin down.

It can be anything from stress, to eating,

to drinking patterns.

Oh ok so um.

What can I do about it?

Well I would tend to keep away from

the prescription sleeping pills at this point and uh,

and maybe just try this specialist.

Um.

Specialist of what?

Well, it'll give you an opportunity to sort of

Talk about what you're feeling and what your...

Oh shit.

What you're going through. And uh.

Come and see me again in a couple weeks.

tell me how it goes.

Ok.

All right.

Good luck.

Thanks Doc.

Look. You tell that fucker,

that if my girls aren't here next week,

I'm gonna come pay him a visit. You got that?

Yeah. Thanks. Bye.

So where's the fuckin fire at?

What?

Two cops were here. Asking questions about Angel.

Two cops were here. Asking questions about Angel.

So what?

So I don't even like talking to these fuckers.

Let alone lying to them.

It ain't lying if you don't know anything.

Ok genius. How long do you think it's going to take for them

to figure out you were seeing her. For fucking months!

So we had a fight and she took off. Big fucking deal.

Well I'm telling you they got something.

Or they wouldn't be snooping around here.

You better be fucking paying attention to this.

So what? You want me to start shitting my pants over it?

They don't have any evidence. They don't have anything.

They don't have any evidence. They don't have anything.

Nothing.

This is your problem.

Little brother.

This is our problem.

Take five, honey.

It's about fucking time.

Where's Rick?

What do you need him for?

Well, he called me earlier.

Wanting to talk about the dump, and the water.

What else did he say?

Just that he wanted to ask me about the liability issues

in relation to the seepage.

Seepage?

What fucking seepage?

What fucking seepage?

The toxic seepage from the dump into the water table.

He told me all about it; he's really worried.

What...

What's our exposure like on this...

Are we liable, like what the fuck's going on?

Well, actually, we're in the clear.

These things happen. And to be frank, it happens often.

Hey, maybe just, create some new wells. Away from the dump.

Well there's an idea.

Well there's an idea.

Good.

Now that that's out of the way,

I need you to do something for me.

Years ago, we never had these problems

with contaminated water.

The water was clear, always drinkable.

Every now and then a well would close to an oil or gas deposit.

You could tell, cause it really stunk up the place.

You could tell, cause it really stunk up the place.

Thanks, Ray.

It's important for us, as a community, to...

Question our leaders, and hold them accountable,

even for something as simple as water.

Just like it's important for us to be accountable to ourselves.

And to each other.

For... you know, life choices.

Um, I'd like to say something.

Umm...

I've been...

Sober, now, for months, and...

Uhh, it's been really hard.

It wasn't until I got involved with, umm,

the rec-center committee that, you know...

Started, umm...

Making me feel better.

After my daughter died...

That was really tough, and...

I felt sorry for myself a lot, you know? I...

I was really bored, and well, shit,

being bored is not a good place for me.

Umm...

Anyways, just, just being...

Involved in something that...

I had passion for it, I guess it's...

I had passion for it, I guess it's...

What really helped me.

I don't know, I just wanted to say that.

yuksay

Thanks, Gail.

Tracy, did you wanna say something?

No.

Okay.

Six vodka

Six rum.

Six rum.

Hey, Daryll

What?

What?

Can I talk to you for a sec?

What?

I need to ask you something.

What?!

Well, Ed, at Shade is putting up a fund.

Kind of like a reward thing.

To help, you know, find Angel.

Apparently, back in '06...

Same thing happened, a dancer went missing, and then...

When they offered the reward, they found her, so...

Well, she's not missing, she's out East.

That's not what the cops think.

Why do you give a fuck?

Could happen to me.

Or any of the other girls.

I'll kick in five grand.

Cool.

I'll let Ed know.

Don't bother, I'll call him.

Okay.

Okay, so we're good?

Yeah, fucking totally stole my car. Bastard.

I just hope he gets stopped by the cops,

he's had like, I think two D.U.I.s already, so yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

It's really good to see you here.

Ahh, thanks. You too, umm.

She forced me.

Bullshit.

You needed this.

Huh. Yeah, that's what they say, huh?

Hey, it's fun, and... now we get donuts.

Ooo, wow, well.

I gotta jet, so.

Already?

Well, my cousin's looking after my kid, you know?

And she might...

Take off if I'm not back in time.

You know? She's a witch like that, so.

Alright, let me bum a smoke.

Alright, let me bum a smoke.

So... I'm gonna see you soon?

Um.

I don't know, I'll be around.

Later.

Later, see ya.

She ok?

She's in pretty rough shape.

Yeah.

C.F.S. has been out at her house twice

and I'm scared she's gonna lose her little girl.

Isn't she shacked up with that guy?

That prick? No, he stole her car.

I mean.

It's bad. She, she's got Jim and Lisa

It's bad. She, she's got Jim and Lisa

but you know, they got their own problems.

Where's her sister?

They're not talking.

Humph.

What's up brother?

Not much.

What's up Rick?

I was talkin to Lenny.

I don't give a fuck what that sissy Leonard said.

What did Darcy say?

I didn't talk to him.

I didn't talk to him.

You didn't?

No.

Oh Fuck.

Well can you meet me tonight at the dump?

I'll call you when I'm on my way.

Sure Chief.

I told you the cops must have something new regarding angel.

They been snoopin here... Shade.

Now that prick Ed?

He's gone and offered up a reward.

Fuck Andy, say something.

What the fuck!?

Andy! What the fuck are you doin?

Andy!

Angel!

Angel!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Angel!

Smells like dead hooker.

She was a dancer.

That's not what I heard.

Yeah? Well I guess dead men don't hear so well now do they?

You're having quite the day. Who you gonna kill next?

Why you gotta be so fuckin negative Dad?

I'm just saying. It was easy enough for you

to put two holes in a hooker.

I didn't mean it. It just happened.

Now where the fuck we going?

None of your business.

Looks kind of like Blackstone, that's a brilliant fucking idea.

Well where the fuck else was I supposed to put her?

You figure it out... Killer.

You're not helping me Dad.

Well first you kill a hooker,

then you bring bad medicine onto the reserve.

She's not a fucking hooker all right?

She was a dancer.

She was a dancer.

So how was your day?

It was good.

Yeah.

It was nice.

Awesome.

Well it's almost finished.

I hope you're hungry, cause I'm starved.

It smells good.

Yeah

Daddy!

Oh

Hey.

Wow.

Gloria.

We can stay Mommy, right?

She's dead! You fucking killed her!

Whoa hey Andy, just fucking hang on.

It's all over Darryl.

Andy, it ain't worth it. She ain't worth it.

Where is that stinky hooker?

It probably melted and burnt up in all this toxic shit!

At least you don't have to worry about a body anymore.

At least you don't have to worry about a body anymore.

Andy, we can fix this.

Hey, you remember the redneck you beat with a bat?

I still have the bat.

Nobody even knew you did it.

This ain't so bad.

Why did you have to drag Darryl into this?

Cause he was fuckin her when I shot her.

He made something of himself, didn't he? Hey?

Oh and I didn't? Is that it?

When you were little,

you remember me telling you about your family?

About your brother?

When I'm gone, all you'll have is each other.

You only have one brother!

Think about this!

You think about Alan.

You listen to me.

Dad is fucking gone. It is just you and me now.

Don't you ever.

Lie to me again.

Uh I gave you something that money can't buy.

Uh I gave you something that money can't buy.

Leadership of this community, as my gift to you.

You think you're gonna get another chance?

A chance at what?

You selfish, arrogant fuck. This community is not all about you.

What's it about then?

You didn't learn a fuckin thing.

Yeah? Well monkey see, monkey-fuckin-do, Dad.

Hey Chief, what's up?

So where's all this fucked up water at?

You talk to Kevin or Darcy?

I haven't heard anything. You?

I talked to Darcy.

Yeah.

So why the fuck are you lying to me now?

Cause I don't want to get the blame for this.

It was Leonard's fault, not mine.

What kind of Jag-off blames his best friend for his fuck-ups?

Like what the fuck is wrong with you lately?

Like what the fuck is wrong with you lately?

The Old Lady.

She's turnin the heat on.

Things are getting rough.

All right

I got a plan, but you gotta sit tight.

I don't think I can wait.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

What are you going to do? Go and hide like Leonard?

Well what am I gonna get out of this now?

Fuckin bylaws are changed.

Our transparency, its killin us.

I make 50K a year, how can I live on that?

You know what you get out of it?

You know what you get out of it?

You get to stay out of jail, motherfucker,

that's what you get.

No no no no no no.

I didn't do anything wrong.

You're the one that did everything.

I did everything?

You're fuckin right I did everything.

I led this community for ten fuckin years

when nobody else wanted to,

I raised money for infrastructure,

I raised money for services,

and all anybody ever did was bitch about it

And me? Personally?

I gave you and your fucked up family,

hundreds of thousands of dollars,

and you fuckin talk to me like I'm your kid?

and you fuckin talk to me like I'm your kid?

Fuck you sideways buddy.

No, fuck you!

Hey

You mother fucker.

Fuck

It's not

My

Fucking

Fault

None of this is my fault!

Everything is your fucking fault. It's all your fault!!

Here we go, number two.

Number two!
