RAYNA: I'll be at the Lodge all day.

I've got new guests coming in.

What's up?

I don't know.

I just can't bring myself to make the call

about this settlement.

Good morning. Could you hold the line for Darryl Keetchemong?

Thank you.

I've gotta go.

Hi, this is Darryl Keetch. I mean, Keetchemong.

REPORTER: The embattled community of Binesizhaabose

found itself under siege today, as the Provincial Government

raided what is considered to be an illegal dispensary.

ROWAN: This is a frivolous harassment by the province,

which has no jurisdiction in our territory.

They are a lower level of government,

and they have backed off and been run off our land.

There's nothing to see.

The press coverage helped our position locally.

But today's poll numbers show that Mitch still has the edge

in votes over you or Tara.

Mitch, 42. You, 39.

Tara, 19.

How is this happening?

I need to go all out for that meet and greet tonight.

Are you thinking a suit?

What? No!

I mean a plan. I need a plan!

I'm on it.

(Mouthing words)

Guys, it's-- it's autonomy.

It's the future, you know. It's jobs for your kids.

I don't know what else to tell you.

(Speaking Ojibwe)

Lyle? What he said was,

"How are your promises any different from Rowan's?

"You guys are all out for yourselves."

Listen.

Your hunting grounds, your trap lines,

everything Rowan took away, I'm going to get back.

In fact, I'm going to generate so much income from this casino

that I'm gonna to buy back all of the lands

that have been ceded since the treaty was signed.

All right?

?

What now?

(Indigenous drumming)

?

I said it before. What this band is doing is unconscionable.

ROWAN: Hey!

What the hell is this?

The residents of these cottages have been here for generations.

Our families are practically part of this community.

You should be ashamed.

How dare you, after a hundred years,

decide to increase the rent with no consultation.

Let me be clear.

Just to ensure that nothing is lost in translation

for you here.

This land is not and has never been yours.

Your ancestors have leased these cottages

for over a hundred years, way below market value.

And now it's time to take back what is rightfully ours.

And we're going to do with it what we want.

If we want to charge prime rates for premium waterfront property,

that's what we're going to do.

Now, as Chief of this community,

I'm here to tell you that if you don't want to renew

your lease on an annual basis,

and pay the amount that we think is fair,

then I suggest you do yourselves a favour

and get the hell off our land.

WOMAN ON PHONE: So, that's $225,000

paid to the order of Darryl Keetchemong.

Keetch. I had it changed legally.

Okay.

I'm really sorry for everything he had to go through.

And your grandfather really wanted to make things right.

Oh. How's that?

He sat through months of residential school hearings.

It brought up some really painful memories for him.

He just couldn't cope.

He took his own life, Darryl.

I can't imagine.

I want to thank you so much for reaching out.

Miigwech.

Dad?

You okay?

(Indigenous singing)

?

Who are you to determine the value of that land?

It isn't even worth that much, and my family built that house!

You know that sounds ridiculous coming out of your mouth.

Tom, those cottages were never yours.

You're just blinded by privilege.

It clearly says on the lease,

that the buildings are chattels of the property.

Read the fine print, bud!

You can't take our house.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

This Chief and this community should be ashamed.

You want to talk about shame.

Oh, ya.

It is not us who should be ashamed.

It's you people.

You and your family.

You and every other colonizer who's trampled on our lands

and on our rights.

For over a hundred years,

not one of you has made any effort to learn

about this place.

To be a community member.

To be an ally.

No. All you do is pollute the water, create garbage,

over-fish, and Jesus! How many weddings can one family have?

Ya, and not one of you or any of your families have ever

participated in the economic wellness of this community.

Shame?

Shame on you.

Now, if you're not here to renew your lease,

I suggest you remove yourselves from the property.

Or I'm going to call the cops.

(Scoffing)

Whatever.

Just know that this bully tactic isn't the end of it.

I'll fight this to the Supreme Court if I have to.

Good luck with that.

Let's go.

?

I can't believe you never told us any of this, Dad.

I'd hoped I'd never have to.

The most important thing in my life since meeting your mother

has been taking care of you guys.

I did everything I could to make sure you didn't

have to go through the things I did growing up.

You did a really good job.

Think that's up for debate, but thanks.

(Phone buzzing)

Hold on one sec.

John, hey.

Bad news, Darryl.

Ah, what's that? I'm out.

Why? What? We're just getting started.

Too much heat up there.

It's all over the news. It's a shit storm.

It's all bullshit, John.

That's not even the real story. It's not like that.

Darryl, it's over.

Ah, come on, John. Don't do this.

It's already done.

Good luck to you, Darryl.

Bad news?

You could say that.

RAYNA: You're in room 104,

and your guide, Luc, will be by at 11

to take you to the ice fishing village.

Enjoy your stay.

(Phone ringing)

Hi.

No, we don't have room service.

I'd happily grab you something from the diner if you like.

Yeah, their meatloaf is to die for,

or you can check it out yourself.

Okay, let me know if you need anything else,

and tell them Rayna sent you.

Hi, folks, welcome to the Beezee Lodge.

Do you have a reservation?

No.

We are David and Quinn's parents.

?

Hi.

Thanks for defending me. That was unexpected.

I wasn't defending you, Rowan. I was defending the people.

Oh. Okay, then.

But I was impressed with how you handled that.

Well, that's a lot coming from you.

Can't do right by you lately.

This isn't about me, Rowan. It's not even about you.

You have a responsibility to this community,

and when I hear you stand up for us like that,

I feel supported. I feel like you get it.

It did feel good. Like, it just flowed, you know?

It just came out. I didn't practice it or nothing.

That's cause you spoke from the heart.

You know, most of the time, you sound like a puppet.

Well, it's politics, Tara. We're all puppets.

That's why you would kind of suck at this job, you know?

You're too good. You've got too much integrity.

Well, on that note, I wanted to talk to you.

Maybe reserve politics isn't my true passion.

Yeah?

We've got to change something.

Or else we're both going to hand Mitch this election.

True.

He's bad news.

If he becomes Chief, everyone will suffer.

Are you suggesting we kill him?

I think I have a better idea.

We came home as soon as we heard about our kids.

You could have reported them to children's aid

when you found them.

MOTHER: But you kept them safe,

and thanks to you, we finally got to see them.

It has been six years.

Wait, you don't see them when they're in foster care?

We don't have visitation rights.

Why?

Sorry. Sorry. You don't have to answer that.

When they were taken, we didn't have much support.

A lawyer assigned to us by the court was pretty much useless.

Since Beezee opened its Child and Family Services office,

they have been helping us figure out ways to get our kids

out of the foster system.

We've been following all the steps to make sure

we get them back.

I can't even imagine what you're going through.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

How did this happen? You're so together.

We were really young when we had kids.

We were living in my parents' place,

but it was not a safe environment.

FATHER: And we had nowhere else to go.

We were living in our car.

We were in town, just trying to make a few bucks

outside the grocery store.

You know, bumming for change and stuff.

Someone called child services.

MOTHER: They took the kids.

Jesus.

We're going to get them back.

They are good kids.

Resilient.

Like you.

Oh, hey. Good to see you again.

MYLES: I'll get us some seats.

Oh, yeah, take this. Thanks.

No problem.

Hey. Hey!

Ah, excuse me, Tara.

Do you mind if I have a moment alone with Rowan?

Ah, yeah, sure.

Someplace private?

Cool. Great.

ROWAN: What's up?

I got a call from the investment group.

They're out. What?

It's the PR, the raid, the cops. They saw it all.

They want nothing to do with it.

"Shit storm," he called it. His words.

Okay.

Thanks for the update.

(Indigenous drumming)

(Speaking Ojibwe)

Hi. Hey.

So?

I called.

And? How did it go?

Was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

They're sending a cheque, but I don't want it.

Let's talk about it later.

Welcome everyone to the final candidates' gathering.

(Applauding)

Where our candidates have one last opportunity

to win your vote.

(Speaking Ojibwe)

To kick things off, please welcome Mitch Nanibush.

(Applauding)

Thank you very much.

I love my community.

I know I haven't been here for a long time,

but I feel it in my bones.

I'm home.

This is my home. Our home.

If you vote me in as Chief, I will take care of our home.

From now into the future.

Now, a vote for me is a vote for the casino,

but what's that a vote for?

It's a vote for economic independence.

It's a vote for sovereignty, for transparency.

For vast wealth in the future.

And your future is so bright, you're going to have to

bust out some of these babies right here.

That's my pitch. Vote for Mitch.

(Cheering, applauding)

ROWAN: The future is now.

In this last quarter alone, the Beezee Dispensary

has brought in more money than any other resource

in the last three years.

In addition to that,

I have just secured a guaranteed investment

of a hundred million dollars.

With that money, we will build a world class cultivation site.

And create hundreds of jobs for community members.

(Applauding)

Now I know some of you don't agree with my cannabis plan,

but I can promise you that I will lead with integrity,

and I will take the necessary steps to consult

with each and every one of you in a meaningful way.

Miigwech.

(Applauding)

As-- As you all know, I am a doctor.

And a good one, at that.

I literally care about each and every one of you.

And for that reason,

I have decided to pull out of the election.

(Audience gasping)

I care about this community too much to split my time

and not do either job to the best of my ability.

But I want my supporters to know that I made this decision

after a very productive meeting with Rowan.

He has agreed to usher in many of my campaign promises

should he be elected.

And, as I told Rowan,

I'm not pro-marijuana.

If you vote for Rowan, know this,

I will be working as the medical consultant

on the cannabis file, and I will not take it lightly.

Miigwech.

(Applauding)

ROWAN: What Tara says is the truth.

I commit to working with her

and other like-minded councillors,

to usher in a new era of medicinal cannabis,

zero-carbon housing, and to build an economy

that will support this community for the next seven generations.

(Audience applauding)

With cannabis, we can do that. Thank you.

(Applauding)

(Speaking Ojibwe)

I was so angry when they took Rayna.

I didn't know who to blame, and you were there.

I'm so glad she's home,

but I just don't know how to show her.

(Indigenous singing)

? You're my North Star ?

Guiding my way tonight... ?

Hey! What are you doing?

The community still thinks the VC money is still in play.

Well, that's how politics roll, man.

If I lose to Mitch, no one will ever need to know.

And what if you win?

Well, I'll just blame the white man.

Seriously?

Well, I don't mean "blame the white man," like, all of them,

just the specific white man that backed out of the deal.

You are serious? Yeah, I'm serious.

Look, just trust me, man. If Mitch is elected,

then we're all screwed.

And that includes you, so let's shut it.

?

RAYNA: That was quite the turn of events.

MYLES: Good that they're working together,

against a common evil, kinda thing.

That's a good way of looking at it.

Stacia?

Surprise! Nathan brought me home for a visit.
