Previously, on Blackstone

What do you want?

What do you want?!

It's always a nice surprise, isn't it?

When you're standing next to someone

and they smell real sweet.

Other than the fact you get my ass shut down

for the crap you're pullin'

I really don't give a shit where you stick your dick.

The judge said that I get to have my daughter back

if I make a couple of changes, eh?

Believe it or not, some of us do care about practicing medicine

in communities that lack health care.

That's what the doctor who misdiagnosed me said.

I didn't know the Roxy closed down at eleven.

You're working at the Roxy?!

I will not let you destroy him!

Get him the fuck outta there, or I will!

Victor, I want you to tell me what's going on with you.

Gloria wants to move back in with me.

What?

What are you doing?

Uh, we're out of bottled water.

Well, I'll get some more.

When is Andy gonna get this water crap under control?

You wanna die?

Oh, seriously Leona! It's just water.

How's it gonna fuckin' kill me?

You really wanna know?

Well, I'll tell you it's a lot more complicated

then just digging new wells.

Marilyn! Hi!

Hi.

Come on in.

Thanks.

I'd offer you coffee or tea but we have no water.

Still bad, eh?

Have a seat.

I was wondering if you'd seen Tracey lately?

Um, no. Not since after the hearing.

She had a scheduled visit with Wendy yesterday

and didn't show.

I tried calling but I haven't been able to reach her.

Um, she... she had a little slip.

Great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She's trying, okay?

Trying isn't gonna cut it with the judge.

Yeah, well it's not that fuckin' easy to sober up, okay?

Gail...

What?!

It's not.

I'm tired of her doing this.

Can you just gimme a little bit of time?

I'll find her.

I'll get her on track.

And Wendy's just gonna stay in foster care.

Shit.

Y'know...

this Child Care Services is fucked.

Gail,

Gail,

we have to think about what's best for Wendy.

Yeah, like you'd know. Never even been a mom.

No, but I had one!

A drunk one.

I'm gonna be late for class.

Have you seen my bag?

It's right there.

I made you a sandwich.

Thanks, but I don't have time.

You can't go to school on an empty stomach.

I understand you're busy but it's important to stay balanced.

I will. University is not gonna change who I am.

I will. University is not gonna change who I am.

No speeding.

Thanks Jumbo.

Yeah.

Hey, what's your real name?

Um, everyone just calls me 'Jumbo'.

I'm sure your parents didn't name you 'Jumbo'.

It's, um, David.

David?

Sounds so uptight and boring. I like Jumbo better.

The toilet overflowed, Jumbo.

Clean that fuckin' shit up, would ya?

Do I look like a janitor?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, you do.

Clean it up yourself.

You want your paycheque, motherfucker?

Clean it up!

I don't work for you, asshole.

Fuck me!

Good help is getting hard to find these days.

I don't understand.

How.. how do you get Lupus?

It's hard to say. You may have had it for awhile.

You getting sick from the water

may have just brought it up to the surface.

Soo..?

What do I do now?

Carry on with your life. Take your meds.

We'll monitor you regularly.

I should tell you that your mother paid me a visit.

I heard.

She asked about your health. I, of course,

didn't share anything but...

she seemed concerned.

Thanks.

How 'bout a drink?

Can't. I'm working.

My brother owns this place.

You don't have a thing to worry about, honey.

That's what they all say.

Did, uh....

anybody tell you what a big tipper I am?

How big?

Huge.

Oh yeah?

I'd like to see how that works.

That can be arranged.

Looks like we're really getting ourselves a rec centre.

Yeah.

Well, this project's been pretty good to us, hey?

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

So, uh, what phase do you figure we're in?

What're you talking about?

Well, it's been a while.

And?

And...

So, why don't you move in with me?

With you?

With you?

Well, you stay over all the time.

Yeah, but I got a home. I... I'm not leaving my sister.

What's..?

So where are we going with this?

Hey, Gail?

You seen Tracey?

Uh, no! Why?

Her cheque's been sitting here for three days.

Serious?

She's either on a major bender or shacked up somewhere.

Where the fuck is Tracey?

What mother says that kind of shit to her daughter?!

What mother says that kind of shit to her daughter?!

I wanted to punch her in the face.

Okay, Tammy. Take a deep breath,

She's such a bitch!

Tammy. Breathe.

You have every right to be angry.

Taking a swing at your mom isn't gonna help anything.

Ah! I know, it's just...

she makes me so mad!

I can handle it, but my sisters!?

It's really amazing the way you step up and protect them.

They're very lucky to have you.

Y'know, if you can stay strong for them,

Y'know, if you can stay strong for them,

maybe we can find some help for your mom.

Shit, I gotta get to class.

And we can talk more later if you want.

Am I interrupting?

Yeah, you are.

These kids are lucky to have you.

These kids are lucky to have you.

They need someone to talk to.

Most of the time their moms aren't there for them.

Nice room.

What are you doing here?!

I brought you some tea.

I'm off caffeine.

It's medicine tea.

I went to see some elders about your, uh...

your condition.

your condition.

They said it's good for stomach cramps and digestion.

I see Annie's is going strong.

Can I take you for lunch?

I'm busy.

Maybe after work?

I have plans.

I have plans.

Okay.

Another time, maybe?

Don't you think you were a little hard on Jumbo?

Yeah, maybe you're right.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's okay.

He's just a little fucked up, that's all.

Not nice!

I'm kidding. He has his moments.

Yeah.

That wasn't one of them.

Maybe you should clean the bathroom.

I will if you come with me.

Oh, really?

Umm-hmm.

I don't do bathrooms.

Wow, you're here early.

Yeah, I have a lot to catch up on.

Good book?

It's kinda thick.

What d'ya got?

'Classics of Western Philosophy'. That's heavy.

Yeah, all these guys do is ask questions about questions.

Nobody seems to get to the point.

Sounds exactly like my mother.

You're on for the study group tonight, right?

You're on for the study group tonight, right?

I thought it was Monday.

No, tonight and Monday.

The paper's worth twenty percent, so...

Yeah, I'll be there.

Hey, where's that university spirit? C'mon!

I think I left it on the highway on my way home last night.

I don't know how you do it.

It's not that bad.

Why don't you just move to the city.

Because it's not my home.

Isn't that the whole point? To get away? Have some fun?

For example, I went to a kegger last night.

Half the university musta been there.

There was a live band, people everywhere...

There was a live band, people everywhere...

But I gotta go and I'll see you tonight, right?

You better show up.

Hey, baby.

Hi.

How ya doin'?

I'm good.

Good.

Hey Jumbo!

Is my dad around?

I dunno.

I think he's in the back office.

Thanks.

Mmmm! You've done this before, haven't you?

Mmmm! You've done this before, haven't you?

Nah.

Never.

You coulda fooled me.

Oh, shit!

It's not what it looks like.

Fuck!

Shit!

Uh, did you find them?

Fuck you!

Jumbo, you fat cocksucker!

You let my son walk in on me?!

Hey, I'm not a fucking babysitter.

Fuck you!

I'm just a janitor!

I'm just a janitor!

Alan!

Alan, where you goin'?

It... it... it wasn't what it looked like.

Can we just go inside and talk?

Alan!

Alan!!

Fuck!!

Gloria) What's 'kwi-no-ah'?

It's 'keen-wah'. See?

It has all the protein you need.

The Incas called it the 'mother of all grains'.

Well, this is one mother of a recipe.

I can't pronounce half the shit that's in here.

Here, cut up this mango.

Geez!

Nah, nah, nah! Not like that!

There's a pit in the middle.

There's a pit in the middle.

Down the side.

How'd you learn so much about all this exotic stuff anyway?

Bet Andy must love it?

I could cook him up a shit sandwich and he'd love it.

It's true!

Why do we see the world, people, situations,

in a particular way?

Is it because of our own life experiences?

Because that's what our parents told us?

What a teacher taught us?

Reality isn't just what we can see with our own eyes.

We have to stretch ourselves

to see the world from someone else's perspective.

Then maybe we'll have a better chance of getting

a realistic view of what's really going on.

What's really going on is that

I'm bored out of my friggin' mind.

... perspective is all about decisions.

Know something, Pop?

I don't get these fuckin' kids.

They got computers, cars, cell phones...

then they turn around and treat their parents like shit.

I mean, if I ever acted that way around you,

you would have beat the fuckin' dog shit outta me.

I kicked your ass because you deserved it.

You were always fighting and causing shit!

You were a bully and you still are!

You were a bully and you still are!

Now Alan, he's a good kid. Honest. Smart.

Well, maybe if you'd been there for me

things would've been different.

But you were off in Ottawa fighting fuckin' politicians.

Least I wasn't screwing waitresses and killing hookers.

Oh, give me a fuckin' break, Dad!

All you ever did was cheat on Mom

and you fuckin' know it!

If you're looking for sympathy and forgiveness

you're barking up the wrong tree, shithead.

How long have you and Andy been married?

Twenty-two years.

Back when I had perky boobs and a tight ass.

Well, you still look great.

I know!

I really want this to work with Victor.

It's gonna take a helluva lot more

than learning to cook a good meal.

It's not really the cooking I'm worried about.

It's Leona. I... think he still likes her.

Well, what'd you expect?

You took off and shacked up with another guy.

You took off and shacked up with another guy.

I screwed up.

Ya think?

Look,

you have a child with him.

You know that Victoria and family

means everything to Victor.

Right? He'll come around.

Thanks.

It's always about her,

and what she wants.

What about what I want?

What do you want?

I want her to be a mom for once in her life.

Maybe that's part of the problem.

Because she's your mother you expect her to be there for you,

to take care of you and make it all better...

when the reality is, she's not able to.

And for whatever reason, she just doesn't know how.

Doesn't mean it doesn't suck... or hurt.

What it means is...

What it means is...

If you're gonna find peace in your life,

you're going to have to learn to accept her

for exactly who she is, faults and all.

That bites.

Yeah! Kinda does bite.

This above all:

to thine own self be true.

You gotta love Shakespeare.

One of my favourite philosophers.

Okay, that's it!

Okay, that's it!

Two pages on Monday,

and remember, think about it.

Hey, you wanna grab a bite?

We have study group.

Well, we'll grab a dog on the way.

A girl's gotta eat, right?

Okay.

I was surprised to hear you moved back.

Well, I thought Sheila needed some family around her.

Yeah.

How's she doin'?

Great.

She's dating Alan Fraser, plugged in to university.

She's good.

And she's still living in Blackstone?

I bought her a car.

It's quite a drive.

She's making it work.

She didn't wanna live in the city?

She wanted to be around me.

Mmm-hmm.

She made her own decision.

I've seen what the city can do to people.

Like me?

It's actually done you some good.

Sheltering those kids on Blackstone does no one any good.

I know.

Hey.

Umm, can I talk to you?

Yeah. Hey, it's good to see you though!

Yeah, you too. Umm...

You're looking good.

You're looking good.

Thanks.

What're... what're you doing here?

Umm... you know Tracey Bull, right?

Yeah.

Well, I just found out she didn't pick up her cheque

and I'm really worried.

Really?

Yeah, umm... see, umm...

it's not like her not to check in.

And what are you thinkin'?

I dunno. Wendy, her daughter is in foster care right now,

and I'm just really trying to help.

Is she still a wreck?

Pretty much, yeah.

She'll come around when the money runs out.

But that's the thing: she doesn't have any money.

I dunno. Uh, y'know you're probably right but, um...

I dunno. Uh, y'know you're probably right but, um...

do you think you could.. y'know, like do one of those

check things on her for me? Like, as a favour?

I'll put out a BOLF.

Uh, a 'Be On the Lookout For'.

Oh. Yeah.

Alright?

Okay.

Well, let's catch a coffee. Let's catch up, huh?

It's good to see you.

So, things are good?

Yeah, things are good.

You?

I'm okay.

Yeah?

How are things?

I've had better days.

Just saw your mom.

She looks good.

She really cares about you.

I find that hard to believe.

I find that hard to believe.

She's trying.

So?

She's the one that left, Ray.

I don't need that pain back in my life.

She never had the relational skills you do,

the ability and strength to...

...make things work.

From what I can tell, she's not the same woman

that left you and Gail.

Daddy!

Hey, Muffin!

What's going on here?

I thought I'd whip up a little dinner.

Whoa, you hate cooking though.

I told you, I've changed.

It's chicken.

Is it?

Victoria, why don't you go wash up before dinner?

'Kay.

At least it smells good.

Yeah....?

Debbie, are you in tomorrow?

You know I am.

Well, it's just that Teresa asked,

and I wanted to make sure.

Something smells great.

Lemon Pepper Chicken.

Mmmm!

Mmmm!

I find that a dry but rounded Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon mix

rarely disappoints with a chicken dish.

Is that so?

Just so happens that I have a bottle in my car.

Dr. Ellis, you know this is a dry reserve.

It's a very dry wine.

Aw, for two. Please.

And one for you...

And one for you...

Thank you.

And for me. See what you're missing?

These things are the best. Seriously.

Here. Here's to the good life.

So, you excited about our study group tonight?

Not really.

Kinda tired.

This'll wake you up.

Hey, I gotta make a phone call. I'll be right back, 'kay?

Cool, yeah.

Hey, Uncle.

I'm really sorry, I'm not gonna make it home for dinner.

Nah, I'm just grabbing a bite.

Yes, I will.

Bye.

Hmm...

Ooh!

That was beyond... delicious.

I'm glad you liked it.

Hmm.

Thank you,

for a wonderful evening.

You're welcome.

I better get this place cleaned up.

I'll help you.

No, no, no. You have a long drive back to the city.

It's the least I can...

Ohh, I didn't know you could cook like that.

Neither did I.

Oh! Excuse me. See who that is...

Oh! Excuse me. See who that is...

Hey!

Hi!

Sorry, to just... show up on your doorstep. I just...

could just really use a friend right now.

Uhm,

we're just in the middle of dinner.

You... you wanna come in?

Hey Leona. Yeah, come on in.

Hi.

Hi!

I'm sorry. I should... I should've called first.

You okay? D'you wanna come in? There's...

You okay? D'you wanna come in? There's...

Just come in. There's plenty of food.

No, it's okay. I'm... I should go.

Leona, wait.

I don't know what to say.

Guess I should get used to that.

Just come in for a bit.

Victor, there's no room for me in there.

Hey.

Where you been?

Out.

Where?

Do I ask you where?

What you've been doing? Who you've been with?

What's the matter?

You want a list?

You want a list?

What crawled up your ass?

I just asked you where you've been.

Did you talk to Alan today?

About what?

I don't know. I just wanted to know

if you'd talked to him or not.

Nope.

So, where you been?

Out.

You know, that Jackie chick's a fuckin' weirdo.

Did you see that tattoo?

I'd never seen a snake tattooed on a chick in my life, ever.

She's not that weird.

Uhhh, you should hear what she was saying about you.

What? What'd she say?

No, I'm not telling. Not telling.

Whatever.

No, just... I don't wanna hurt your delicate feelings, y'know?

That's the thing.

C'mon! You can tell me. I'm a big girl.

C'mon! You can tell me. I'm a big girl.

Okay.

No! Pretty little girl like you

does not need to hear these kinda things.

So you're a tough one, now? Okay. Alright.

This is me. Here.

Are you sure you're okay to drive all that way?

Yeah.

It's... It's a long way. You could always just, y'know...

crash... crash at my place, y'know?

Yeah, right!

It's okay. I'll be fine.

No, no. Really. You can just flop on my couch.

I'll take care of you.

Jake , no!

Wha... What?!

I'm seeing someone!

I'm seeing someone!

It's okay. We can...

Jake! Stop!

C'mon, c'mon!

Jake! Stop!

Let's just have fun.

Stop it Jake!

Relax.

Stop! Stop it! Jake!

Ooof!

Aagh!

Don't ever fucking do that again!

You asshole!

Fuck.

Shit!

You really sure that's a good idea?

Shhhhit!

Don't do that to me. You scared the shit out of me.

Wha..? I... I...

I can't sleep. I just need a little something

to get to sleep.

And you think these pills are the best idea?

You don't even know what they are.

Don't!

Do you wanna talk?

I gotta go.

Something's bothering you. I think we should talk about it.

Where's my shoes?

Look, Greg...

this isn't about you.

No, this is about you holding onto shit you can't change.

I already live with one counsellor. I don't need two.

You think we're trying to counsel you?!

You think we're trying to counsel you?!

What are you doing?

You've got to let Natalie go, Gail.

Forgive yourself and find some peace.

Let it go!

Good morning!

Morning!

Why are you using that old thing when we have

a brand new hedge trimmer?

It's noisy. I didn't wanna wake you.

I got in a little late last night.

I've been thinking...

Maybe you should get a place in the city.

Serious?

Neither one of us is getting any sleep.

You're dead tired, driving in the dark and

I'm up all night worrying about you.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

This is my home.

So that's it? You're quittin'?

You want a raise? C'mon, I'll give you a raise.

It's not about the money.

Alan, cut him some slack.

I've been doing that my whole life.

I'm done.

Look, he needs fuckin' strange pussy

to make himself feel better.

to make himself feel better.

But that don't mean he don't love you, or your mom.

That's just the way he is.

'That's just the way he is'. So that makes it okay?

He'd do anything for family, Alan and you know it.

Yeah,

I saw what he was doing for us.

Okay, so he don't always make the right choices.

Hey, I'll give you that.

But the man has always had my back,

and yours, too.

Now, I fuckin' love the guy,

but I can't change him,

and neither can you.

So, what're we gonna do?

I know what I'm doin'.

Spanky...

let it go, Son.

Not for him,

for you.

Let it go.

Tomorrow, you have a one, a two

and a four o'clock.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Umm, just take a seat.

I'll be right there.

How you feeling these days?

Doin' alright.

Good.

Any news from the doctor?

Not really.

So, how's business?

Yeah, steady.

Glad you're doing well.

Thanks.

Okay, uhm...

take care.

Leaving so soon?

Uhm...

Gail and I are having a barbeque this weekend.

Just, um...

a few close friends and...

family.

Do you want to come?

Do you want to come?

Yeah. I do.

'Kay.

I'll call you.

Yeah, we just landed Eaglerock, Walt.

Both bids came in.

Both bids came in.

Yes, we got the fucking arena.

I gotta go.

Thought you were workin' today.

I quit.

You what?

I quit!

She's twenty-five.

A fucking waitress..?

Who are you?

What kind of man does that to his wife?!

You're not a baby anymore, Alan.

And you're not blind. You know exactly what's going on.

Grow up!

Daryl was right. You're never gonna change.

Y'know what? Fuck Daryl!

Let me tell you something else...

Don't you dare come crying to me when you're broke,

cuz I'm cutting you off, you little prick.

Go ahead, do it.

Go ahead, do it.

Welcome to the real world, Son.

Fuckin' asshole.

I'm thinking about becoming a doctor.

We really need a good doctor around here, that's for sure.

I'm thinking about blending traditional medicine

with modern medicine.

Yeah, I know a couple of doctors back east do exactly that.

Maybe you can teach me more about the plant medicines?

Hey Al!

Hey Ray.

Hey.

Is it okay if I sit?

Empty chair right there.

I quit.

What're you going to do about money?

I dunno, figure something out.

Wanna go for a walk?

Sure.

'Kay.

You really think this rec centre is gonna make everything okay?

I have to let you go now.

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

It's time, Natalie.

It's time to go.

You think you can get rid of me that easy?

Goodbye, my girl.

Really!?

Just a little prayer and I'm gone?

You really want me to go?

Cuz if I go...

I'm not coming back.

Okay.

Here I go.

I love you.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom...

Mom, look at me.

I'm proud of you.

Mum.

I love you.

I love you!
