Previously on Blackstone.

Well, first you kill a hooker, then you
bring bad medicine hot to the reserve.

With every rainfall, more chemicals are
being leached into your water table.

This dump needs to be moved.

Do you know that the reward for
information leading to the whereabouts

is up to 100K?

You could buy a lot of shit with that,
John.

Ms. Bull, it has been determined that
you are currently incapable of providing

for your child. That is why you are
here.

Okay, Wendy, let's not ruin a fun visit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Be careful with her.

She's a child.

Maybe she's in party mode.

She'll come around when the money runs
out. But that's the thing. She doesn't

have any money.

10 points.

and about me playing.

Understand?

Yeah.

See that drawer over there?

That's where the opener is.

Go on and get her like a good little
Indian.

Wayne, why does she have a beer?

I was trying to find that out myself.
Came in here, there she was.

Wendy, what are you doing with the beer?

He wanted it. Don't lie, Wendy.

Wayne.

Oh, she's a bad one.

Riz, but you can't take the Riz out of
that. Enough.

What? You expect me to believe she's
drinking beer?

Who left the fridge unlocked?

Have you taken your medication?

Have you taken your medication?

What the fuck do you think I was
grabbing a beer for?

I want her out of here.

Do you hear me?

She hasn't done or said anything.

She's just a little girl.

water situation.

What's on your mind, Vic?

Well, I called Kevin at HC.

He talked to Kevin?

Yeah, and he said he told you to move
the dump several times.

You just can't move the dump without
serving another area, Victor.

Perhaps it needs to be built.

Guidelines and approvals to abide by?

Well, the same thing will happen.

We're going to do this by the book, so
we don't have to do it again in five

years.

And I'm also happy to say that we found
a safe place to move the waste.

Excavation will begin in two weeks.

Billy, go watch the other kids outside.

Okay.

Why don't you give the poor kid a break?

You know, her mother hasn't visited in a
while.

She's missing her.

Her mother?

That squad made a spectacle on our front
lawn, making us look bad, while the

whole neighborhood stood watching.

That fucking kid's gonna be just like
her.

I can see it.

Little Indian's gotta follow the rules.

She follows the rules.

You know we can't afford to just send
kids back for no reason.

Your disability's not enough.

I gave you a fucking reason. Now you get
rid of that kid now!

Do you have any idea how many cases of
missing or murdered Native women there

are? No. I guess too fucking many, if
you ask me. It's shocking.

Well, her poor baby.

Do you think they really care about her,
or do you think they're just doing it

for the money?

They care a hell of a lot more than
Tracy.

Bullshit. Tracy cares about that little
girl, so don't ever get that confused.

I'm sure she does.

You know, at least she's trying.

Honey, I can't talk right now, so can
you go play with the other kids?

Okay.

Thank you.

Well, unfortunately, she's just not
working out.

I mean, we've done our best, but she's
not integrating into our household.

It's causing problems with the others.

You have to give it some time, Ellen.
You know that.

Wayne and I thought long and hard about
this, and we figured maybe she'd do

better at another home where there's not
so many kids.

You want to move her?

Yes. We've made up our minds.

I don't think it's in her best interest
to put her through the stress of another

placement.

I really urge you to reconsider.

Well, we've been at this for years.

I just don't think it's a good fit for
us.

Okay.

I have another case pending. A young boy
who needs temporary placement.

Would you consider giving another child
a try?

Yes. I mean, if you need a place for
him, then yes. We'd be happy to help

Okay. I'll call you back in ten.

Okay.

Must be nice to be Walt.

Look, Vic, I appreciate your concern,
but I think we've answered all your

questions.

I have a few more.

Well, take them to Teresa, and she'll
make sure counsel gets them.

Come on, Andy. He's here. He's not on
counsel. This wasn't a planned meeting.

Well, why does Brebner get the job?

I mean, Greg knows someone over at
McCollum, and they're more than well

-equipped to do the job, and they can
start next week.

Walt's been nothing but fair with this
reserve. Why can't we just sit tight for

two weeks and let him do this?

I'm also very confident that as a favor,
he'll cut his rates.

It's true. Brebner's been doing some
great work here. But every time it

we're gambling with this community's
health.

We've got to deal with this now.

Let's take a vote. All in favor of
McCollum, raise your hand. Whoa, whoa.

on a sec here.

Now, this is a decision to be made by
counsel, not by us.

And you, you asked your questions and we
gave you your answers. Now, get the

fuck out of here.

Unfortunately, she's been moved to
another home.

You'll have to ask child services.

Around three.

No, no, that is not a good idea.

You're going to have to clear that with
a social worker.

Deal.

Deal.

Look, just call Marilyn.

Shit, Dad.

This place has more garbage than there
ever was.

I was born and raised on this reserve,
and you've contaminated the entire

and you've stumbled from one fuck -up to
another, and it's embarrassing.

You're just pissed off because this
place is getting healthier and stronger,

you fucking know it.

Who are you trying to fool for every
penny you invested?

You'll fucking steal too.

I'm trying to make a decent living for
me and my family. You're going to

fault me for having a bit of business
sense?

Oh, you're a real entrepreneur, aren't
you?

You're a fucking petty thief.

Well, whatever the fuck you think I am,
there's a lot more than you ever were.

Right.

And it won't be long before everybody
knows it.

So what's being done about this?

As you know, missing is all too often
followed by raped and murdered.

I've talked with her relatives, her
friends, the bars.

No one's seen or heard from her.

Why is there nothing in the papers or
the news about this? Oh, come on, Leona.

No one's interested in another missing
Indian.

That story's been done a thousand times.
If you want to toss around numbers,

it's 582 to be exact. They don't have a
problem talking about that stripper.

Look, they raised $100 ,000 for her.

Now, if you want news coverage, why
don't you give them something to write

about? What is Blackstone doing?

Look, I could get you an interview.

You can. I know someone. She'll come
down.

She's tough.

But you're going to have to win her
over.

Not a problem.

See, now you can't be shy.

Guys get enough of that timid shit at
home.

You got to own the stage.

I can do that.

Let's see.

Stay good.

You feel confident? So does the
customer.

it easy for them to enjoy the club, they
stick around.

They drink more, fire dances, everybody
wins. You understand?

That's not a problem.

No one's going anywhere as long as I'm
up here.

Really?

Yeah, really.

All right then.

Let's start again.

Carol.

That's pretty good.

Might actually give you a shift.

I got nowhere to go with it, Daryl.

we need to know let's not worry about
that right now it's okay you go on

i'll be back a little later hi gilbert
how you doing come on in buddy

you

okay

Thanks so much for coming.

Oh, it's no problem. I'm happy to be
here. Great. I'm happy to do this,

actually. Why don't we stand over here?
Okay. Where the lighting is nice.

Here? Yeah, it should be good. Okay,
great.

And why don't you tell me what you have.
Stu said this was something new that

hadn't been covered.

Yeah, the woman is from Blackstone. Her
name is Tracy Bull. She's been missing

for a couple of weeks now.

Hold on a second. This isn't about
Rachel Wellesley?

No.

Well, Sue said that you had some new
info into her case.

He said that?

I don't really understand.

Jim, don't bother. This isn't going to
work. Wait, hold on a second.

Look, I know she's just another Indian,
so nobody really cares, but she deserves

just as much attention as the stripper.

Sue misinformed me.

Well, not entirely.

This is new. It hasn't been covered.

In fact, it's received no attention
whatsoever.

You know what? It's difficult to get
stories like this on the air.

Unless she's a stripper and she's white.

It's not me, okay? I don't make the
news.

This matters.

A woman has gone missing.

been missing for a couple of weeks now.

She has a young daughter in foster care.

She needs her mother.

And why is it daughter in foster care?

Well, Tracy's had her challenges.

She decided to face a drinking problem
recently and she was really getting back

on her feet. She's staying sober and
making a real effort to get healthy.

And then suddenly she disappeared.

Let's set it up.

Thank you.

I thought she was leaving later, like
three.

Who told you that? Your wife.

Where is she?

It's a hell of a screwed up system if
you ask me, moving on around like that.

Where's Ellen?

I don't know. She's out.

So, can you at least tell me where they
moved her to, where her new home is?

They never tell us.

They don't tell you, or you don't care
enough to ask?

You know how hard it is to take in
someone else's child?

You think this is easy for us?

You get attached to a kid, the judge
pulls them out, sends them somewhere

You don't know if they're here for a
week, a month.

It's difficult.

I like Wendy.

Tough to see her go.

Sure it was.

Oh, my God.

Can you believe that? What is that?

Can you believe some crazy fuck put this
online?

You are more messed up than I thought.

What?

It's funny.

Stripping under a new name.

I don't know. Fraser's got to know
something.

How about this one from Blackstone?

The one with the little girl. Yeah, what
about her?

I talked to Stu.

He said she's definitely missing.

The Fraser boys are from there.

It's a stretch, but it means they know
both of the women. It could be

A coincidence?

No.

My gut says there's a connection to the
reserve.

Come on. I mean, you and I both know
those native women go missing all the

Doesn't mean there's no connection.

Get the fuck out of my chair.

Is that the new inventory list?

I'm working on it right now.

How are we doing?

Same as last month.

Let me have a look at it.

Red white canoes.

Let's do a special on this import beer.
We're not moving.

Blow that shit out.

What's up?

Why are you lying to me?

What are you talking about?

I saw the footage.

You lied to my fucking face.

What is it? You don't fucking trust me?

Why would you lie to me?

What the fuck do you want me to say,
Jumbo?

It's my fucking brother.

have to go missing before something's
done.

This country's treatment of its native
women is horrendous. Right now there are

500... Okay, that was good when you
talked about Tracy.

She is what's known so far about her
parents.

Statistics are deadly on TV. You know,
we have a saying in the newsroom,

numb.

So we need to keep it personal or it'll
never get on the air.

Okay. We still rolling?

Okay.

Whenever you're ready.

Tracy has a young daughter, Wendy.

She's now in foster care. She's scared
and confused.

She grew up in our community, and now
she's in a very foreign place.

She needs to come home.

Tracy needs to come home. She's not just
another missing woman with no identity.

She's a mother, a daughter.

A sister, an auntie.

She's also a friend.

And cut.

Okay, that was great.

Um, I think I can get this on the air
tonight.

Thank you.

Also, do you have any recent pictures of
Jason?

Yeah, of course I can get you some.
Okay.

No, she's fine. How can she be fine? Be
honest with me.

These sorts of things are always tough.

I'd like to see her.

I don't think that's possible.

But she's going into a new house.

Don't you think she needs somebody who
knows her?

That will only make things worse.

Look, I'm in the city right now. Why
can't I see her?

It's confusing for her.

I think it's safe to say she's pretty
fucking confused already.

She misses her mom, and I am the next
best thing to that. You've got to trust

me.

Fine. Sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I really appreciate this.

Come on, bitch.

Shit. Start.

Come on.

Start, you motherfucker.

run it for.

What the fuck is wrong with this piece
of shit anyway?

The camshaft's blown.

Well, shit for brains over there said it
worked fine.

Maintenance guy will be in tomorrow,
have it fixed up for you, ready late

afternoon. By tomorrow?

Yeah.

For sure?

Yeah. Tell you what, I'll have one of my
guys bring it out to you.

Well, shit, Walt, that'd be great.

Tell him to drop it off at the house.

Not a problem.

What's with the fucking nice guy act all
of a sudden?

Business is good.

I told you it would be.

brought you something.

Hey, hey.

You're welcome.

What's its name?

Well, I don't know. I was thinking maybe
you could name it.

Teddy. Teddy. Yeah, I like that.

That's great.

tough.

Don't leave me.

Okay, sweetheart.

I'm not gonna go anywhere, okay?

Can you stay?

Yeah.

I can stay for a little while.

Come. Let's go sit down.

I am gonna stay right here with you and
Tenny.

How's that sound?

Tracy Bull.

What about her?

Well, she's missing. What's chief and
council doing about it?

Well, we're still talking to the police.
And how's that going?

Not real well. She's still missing,
isn't she? I just met with Stu.

We need to get a reward out there and we
need to start making some noise.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.

Let's just make sure she's really
missing and she hasn't just screwed off

kid. I'm not running a location service.
Come on, Andy. You know Tracy.

She couldn't leave this reserve if she
tried.

Something is definitely wrong here.

And while we've been sitting on our
asses doing nothing, $100 ,000 has been

organized for that thing stripper.
What's her name?

Angel.

Rachel Wellesley.

Now, why can't we do the same? Why can't
we offer a reward?

Well, the thing is, I can't do anything
on my own anymore since you and Victor

rearranged the bylaws.

And with the rec center and this water
fuck -up...

We really don't have the funds. You are
the leader of this community.

Find the money.

We have to show that we give a shit, and
you do, Andy, don't you? You give a

shit?

You really think something happened to
this girl? Yeah.

I'm worried.

All right.

We'll find the money.

Blackstone will put up... $25 ,000.

25 ,000. Yeah.

Great.

I mean, that's great.

Good.

She'll be okay.

Thanks for letting me see her.

You're welcome.

She likes you.

Yeah.

Yeah, she's a good kid.

I'm going to head out to Blackstone to
meet with Tracy's sister.

If things continue as they are, someone
in the family needs to be involved in

the decisions.

She's worse off than Tracy. You know
that, right?

I don't presume to know anything until I
meet her.

Well, I can tell you right now, it's not
going to help.

You take care, okay?

Thanks.

Craig. Dan. for McCallum is on line one.

Hey, Dan. What's up?

Oh, great.

No, no, that's great. No problem.

All right, we'll see you tomorrow, then.

A job fell through at McCallum.

Al's coming out first thing in the
morning to start excavating the dump.

It's a decent -sized reward.

Well, at least you had things different.

Now if you could just get us some clean
water.

Use this on in an hour.

I saw Wendy today.

Yeah? How'd that go?

Fucked.

It's not surprising.

What's the new foster parents like?

I don't know. Same, but different.

Marilyn said that she's going to go see
Sarah.

Tracy's sister, Sarah?

She's not going to help any.

I know it's that I tried to tell her,
but... What do you think about me taking

Wendy?

What? You don't think I'm good enough or
what?

I didn't say that.

Well, I've been thinking about it.

You'd have to be interviewed by child
services. It's not an easy process.

So you don't think they'd allow me or
what?

Honestly, Gail, no.

Thanks for the support, sister.

Would you prefer I lied?

I just, I know what these people are
like, and I know what they expect.

Yeah, well, thanks for shutting the
fucking door before I even start.

Look, sometimes you're such a bitch.
Gail, look, I'm just being honest.

Hello?

Yeah, hi.

What? Why?

You said it was a great piece.

I don't believe this.

The station manager didn't think Tracy's
story was newsworthy.

an effort to see Wendy.

Yeah, um, I'm concerned now that her
mother is missing that she must be

abandoned. Well, I think it's admirable
that you want to step up and take care

of her. And I'm also heartened because
there are so many Native kids in the

system and such a lack of Native foster
homes to place them in.

So, um, what's involved?

Well, there's awareness sessions.

and caregiver orientation, so you know
exactly what you're getting into.

Meanwhile, we prescreen to make sure you
meet all the eligibility requirements.

An assessment worker will do a home
visit and discuss your family history,

family relationships, financial means,
that sort of thing.

And then we need references, medical,
all kinds of paperwork.

After that, hopefully, acceptance.

I should warn you that he's not a big
fan of unexpected visitors.

Two minutes. That's all I want. Okay.

Let me do the talking.

Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt. Jim?
Yeah, what do you got?

Leon is here. I shot some footage with
her the other day about a missing woman

from Blackstone.

Oh, come on, Dad. I told you it's not
newsworthy.

Don't waste my time. How can you say
it's not newsworthy and then run another

segment on Rachel Wellesley? She does
have a point.

Reed. Excuse me, folks.

To be blunt, it's just not news that
another Aboriginal woman is missing.

What? It's to be expected?

How racist is that? Hey, I'm not racist.

Do you have kids?

If a daughter?

Hey, how would you feel if she or your
wife were missing and no one noticed or

cared?

You have no idea how many of these
requests we get.

Some are real, but some are
misadventures.

Like the kids who decide to stay over at
their friend's house and forget to call

their parents.

We have to use our discretion. She is
missing.

And her little daughter, she can't stay
at a friend's house because she's in

foster care.

Now explain to me why all the attention
on the stripper, the white, blonde, blue

-eyed stripper.

Um, white, blonde, blue -eyed.

Stripper. Are you fucking kidding me?

Bring me something the public can relate
to.

I already sent you the footage.

It's all there.

It's local and personal.

All you need to do is watch.

Is the band counselor putting up a
reward?

$25 ,000.

Hmm. It's not quite a hundred, is it?

Oh, for fuck's sakes, Jim.

This isn't about money.

The longer we do nothing...

the more chance she winds up dead in a
ditch.

Okay, run with it.

Now get out of here.

Let's go.

Hey, everyone, it's okay.

Just remain calm.

We're not all we wanted. That's all that
matters.

Now, you've never fought before, is that
right?

No.

And I understand your own daughter,
Natalie.

She passed away recently.

Yeah.

She... She committed suicide.

I'm very sorry.

The truth is that I was too wrapped up
in my own problems then, and I

wasn't there for her.

But, sir, I've been sober now for
months, and I'm involved.

in the community, and, you know, I'm
helping get this rec center put

and the community can vouch.

No, that's fine.

I appreciate your honesty.

I see you live with your sister.

Yeah, I do.

How does she feel about fostering? Well,
she's excited.

She wants to help.

And you both live permanently on
Blackstone?

Mm -hmm.

You know, I've come through a lot.

And I've learned.

And to tell you the truth, if you've
ever lost a child,

it's a precious gift to get a second
chance. And

Wendy should be raised in her own
community.

that shit?

I'm doing some landscaping this morning.
What landscaping?

I don't know.

Moving some dirt around, cleaning up a
bit.

Well, why are you doing it? Hire
someone.

Because it sets a good example for our
people to see their chief performing

actual physical labor.

Well, don't fuck up my garden.

We'll be gone first thing in the
morning. Don't worry about it.

Oh, Teresa called.

We have some...

Conference call with the Chiefs.

Tomorrow? Yeah, when you park that
fucking thing.

Case last year, a little girl who was
removed from her non -native foster home

by her band.

The band started a repatriation
campaign, bringing the kids home, which

completely avoided the issue of why the
girl had to be removed in the first

place. Now, when this child arrived
under our care, she was in very bad

physically and emotionally.

And then here she was, thriving, happy,
spirited.

She bonded with the Foster family, they
with her. They wanted to adopt her

permanently and had started those
proceedings.

But when the band was informed, they
objected.

And the band dragged the family and this
department through a long, long court

battle, capitalizing on all the
sensitivity around aboriginal issues,

correctness, cultural genocide. They
trotted out all the hot buttons.

And in the end, the court bowed to the
political pressure and returned the girl

to her reserve.

Within a month, she was back in the
hospital with all sorts of injuries of

undetermined cause.

This is only about me wanting to give
Wendy a good home where she can be who

is.

Kale, I can...

So you're sincere.

And I'm sure you think you're committed
to providing for Wendy.

But to be honest, you're simply not an
appropriate candidate.

There's no way I see this working.

I simply can't put your application
forward.

I'm sorry.
