Tin Star (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Resist Not Evil - full transcript

Men think that the only way
to settle a conflict is by force.

Jesus teaches that
when someone who means you harm

comes into your home, your life,
turn your cheek away from the aggressor.

I won't let him hurt us.

It's not him I'm afraid of, Anna.

Scripture is truth and prophesy.

Jesus teaches tells us
not just how to live

but what happens to when
we do not live by it.

You want me to keep my mouth shut
about Gagnon,

you're going to pay my community
for the rest of your life.

If you ever threaten me again,



ask yourself what I might beprepared
to do to ensure your silence.

Resist not evil.

- Heroine ?
- God knows.

That is the true revenge.

Presence of God's love

in all his creatures

restores peace.

Johan and Elizabeth Story

- Welcome.
- Good morning, Pastor.

Are you coming in ?

- I can't.
- You're afraid ?

Not for me, for all of you.

I'm not going in without you.

You're the pastor.
They can't start without you.



Then you'd better come with me.

Amen.

We who were formally
no people at all,

who knew no peace,

must now build a church of peace.

True Christians know not vengeance.

Their hearts overflow with peace.

Their mouths speak peace.

Their limbs walk the way of peace.

Anna.

Come here, please ?

Thank you, Anna.

For your great blessing
that you have shown this colony.

By coming here
and asking us for help,

you have reminded us
of what we live for.

Kindness.

Come on let's go !

TIN STAR

Fuck it.

- Cheers.
- Slainte.

- That's...
- Cheap ?

Yeah. Jesus.

Go on, give me another one.

- What are you doing here ?
- Can I come in ?

Nice house.

You ladies drunk ?

Yes, we are.

- I'm here on business.
- What business ?

Ask her.

Go ahead tell her,
tell her what you told me.

Tell me what ?

I told her that I'd make sure
her community was taken care of.

What ?

And I kept my mouth shut
like you asked me

and now I'm here to get
what's owed to me.

Yeah ? Things didn't quite work out.

Did you promise her money ?

- How much ?
- A hundred grand !

Are you kidding me ?
We never discussed a figure.

We didn't discuss shit.
She threatened me.

Yeah, she took me
to a fancy restaurant.

Ordered steak and drank champagne.

All I got was a god damn salad.

Yeah, I could have asked for a lot more
than a hundred grand.

- The things is I need it by tonight.
- Tonight ?

Cops are looking for me.
I need to get out of town.

So, I'm going to give you
until midnight.

- You do not want to blackmail us.
- Blackmail's your thing.

I'm here to fulfill
a verbal agreement.

Yeah, I get it that
the system's rigged.

Yeah, I go to the cops,
we go to trial.

I can guarantee there won't be
one native woman on that jury.

Which means I go to jail
and you guys walk free.

But what you condescending
rich white ladies

got to ask yourselves is...

What does this fucked up
native woman got to lose

when she's already lost her kids ?

Why did you promise her the money ?

Because I used her and her community
to blackmail myself a seat at the board

and then I bribed her
to keep her mouth shut.

You did what ?

I was high on adrenaline,
it was my moment.

Northstream treated me like a joke,

they fucked me
and I wanted to fuck them back.

So you fucked over an indigenous woman
to get yourself a seat on the board ?

I'll take care of this.

Yeah, someone has to.

- Yeah ?
- Can we talk ?

- I insist we call the police.
- What good would the police do ?

This isn't Mexico, pastor.
The police here aren't criminals.

- He is the police.
- Well, something must be done.

- We can't just ignore him.
- Of course not.

But he's a sick man.
A slave to alcohol.

If we raise our hands to him we will
only bring about more brutality.

Peace is no good if it means
a truce with evil.

One moment please.

- Yes !
- Veronica ?

- Veronica ?
- Veronica ?

- This is Johan.
- Is Veronica there ?

- I don't know any Veronica.
- Sorry. Wrong number.

Johan ?

We don't allow mobile phones
in Prairie Field !

I know.

- There is a telephone in my office.
- I understand.

Then what are you doing ?

I must ask you for that phone.

I must ask you for that phone.

Are you defying me ?

I have my reasons Mr. Quiring.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi, Papa.

- You okay ?
- Yeah.

Keep your heels down
during the turns.

I do.

Work up to the lope gradually
before worrying about your speed.

I start at the walk every time.

Chico can't control his speed
through the turns.

- He can...
- He leans towards the barrel.

I thought you had more faith in me.

I don't trust that quarter horse
that's all.

- You bought me that horse !
- I do a lot of stupid things, Rosa.

Like what ?

Keep your heels down during
the turns, that's all.

This is a junior standing !

I've been training at this
for six weeks.

You're a good father.

And she's a teenager.
Don't take it personally.

Here, put this in her drawer.

- Anyone follow you ?
- No.

You got my money ?

I can write you a check
for ten thousand dollars.

Ten thousand ain't gonna build
a health center in my community.

Anything more than that will bounce.

- You got a pretty nice car out there.
- It's leased.

I wanted to make a difference.

I was a good mum.

I know I slipped up
after they passed,

but who wouldn't ?

I was a leader in my community,
did you know that ?

I fought my whole life to help
build something,

a future for my people.

What about drugs ?

- What do you mean ?
- Cocaine.

I can get hold of some. A lot.

- What ?
- I don't know how to sell it.

- So you think I do ?
- I figured you might.

Or know someone who does.

Did anything I just say have
any fucking impact on you ?

Go get my money !

You alright ?

Angela's in trouble.

Right.

And we could both go to jail.

- What for ?
- For the man she murdered.

Which one ?

- Does she know you're here ?
- She sent me.

We talking about the same woman ?

Cause, when I first met her
she was pulling pints,

for the brothers of the informer that
her dad had just murdered, upstairs.

That's when I fell for her,
I mean, how could you not.

Well we have a problem
and she needs your help.

You want me to kill someone.

You're unemployed.

And I'm not buying
what you're selling. So...

I can lend you a tenner, if you like ?

- That's it ?
- It's all I got.

This is your fault, asshole.

You accused my company
of murdering your son

and I was dumb enough
to look into it.

Which got me
in this whole fucking mess !

That's mostly true.

But do yourself a favor.

Don't ever mention my son again.

What are you doing ?

Putting flyers up. Like you asked.

So that only people under
the age of ten can see them ?

Denise, I am so sorry
for being fucking crippled.

You are not crippled ! Jesus Christ !

Nick, when are you going
to stop wallowing in self-pity

and do something useful
around here ?

Like this ? Is this useful ?

With thousands of native women

and you want to pour all our resources
into looking for this one ? Why ?

If I don't look for her, nobody will.

Okay, well if this is all
you're gonna care about

then you're just making
the problem worse.

Tell me, what's that problem ?

Your people seeing themselves
only as victims.

You're not allowed to say that.

- I'm not allowed to say that ?
- No.

- Why not ?
- Because you're a privileged white guy.

Shut up, don't censor me we're
in Canada were not in fucking Korea.

I'm going to Reverie and when I get
back, I want your shit out of my house.

So that's it ?

Fuck you.

Come on, boy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

If I win this race I'll have saved
enough for a plane ticket.

Your leaving ?

My dad owed money in Mexico.
Did he tell you that ?

When his crops failed,
he couldn't pay off the debt.

That's why we left.
We ran away, Anna.

So stop running.

You're telling me to stop running ?

Your parents would be destroyed.

What about you ?

What do you mean ?

Anna, you tried to kill yourself.

How do you think your parents felt ?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

Why come to me ?

The local dealers
use your parking lot.

Not for fifteen kilo payloads, love.

I'll take a million for all of it.

How did you get hold
of fifteen kilos of cocaine ?

- Do you care ?
- You don't look like a distributor.

- Are you interested or not ?
- Do I look disinterested ?

And how do I know you can deliver ?

How do I know you can deliver,
sweetheart ?

Listen, no offence, but I've been
in this line of business,

or derivatives thereof,
for forty odd years

and in that not inconsiderable
length of time

I've developed a kind of a radar.

So, who are your associates ?

Our current distributor is indisposed.
I've been asked to find alternatives.

If this is too much for you to handle,
just say so.

- He sent you, didn't he ?
- Who ?

- You know who.
- Do you have a million or not ?

I tell you what, you show me the drugs.
And I'll show you the cash.

- You'll be hearing from me.
- I can't wait.

- She's talking to someone.
- Follow her.

- You driving a cab for a living now ?
- These are lean times.

I'd give you need a ride
but I got one in.

Okay ?

Forgive me for doubting you.
I didn't mean to.

That was a nice run by Anna Lopes,
number 88 from Stavely, Alberta.

Very good with the time of 17.49.

Can you see her ?

Next up, Rosa Nickel
from Prairie Field, Alberta.

- Slow down for the turns !
- What ?

- Fly like an arrow !
- Okay.

Yes.

- Who is this ?
- Where's the package ?

There's been a problem.

I had to move the package.
I have a new location.

You think I'm a fucking moron ?
You change the location

then send me to collect the package,
you fucking cocksucker ?

Papa ?

Who'll be waiting for me ?
The cops ?

I'll text you the new location.

You got until midnight.
Just you and the package.

If you're late, or that cop's
anywhere nearby...

You know what happens
to your wife and kids.

No.

Rosa ?

Rosa.

Rosa...

Help her, please.

- The coffee here still terrible ?
- Notch above ditch water.

Grab one anyway.
How you doing ?

I'm alright.

You look good.
How many days you got ?

- Sixty-seven.
- No shit !

No shit.

Sixty-seven ? That's great !
How's your dad doing ?

It's hitting it hard.

We appreciate the help by the way.
I'm making plans.

Yeah what kind of plans ?

Plans that get me out
of this shit hole.

Northstream Oil money didn't exactly
turn this place into Texas, did it ?

No, few people did alright.

Have you seen the Chief ?

It's funny cause his truck's outside.

- You want some advice ?
- No.

- Don't go down this rabbit hole.
- When was the last time you saw her ?

- Can't recall.
- Ball park ?

These women, they don't want
to be found, they're not gonna be.

- These women ?
- Yeah overdoses. Suicides.

Runaways.
There's thousands of them.

Yeah, four thousands of them
in the last three decades.

And you're gonna make a dent
in four thousand missing women ?

Who's she hiding from ?

You don't want a crusade
your first year on the job.

Northstream Oil gave me a 60,000
dollar truck to help with that.

Makes me wonder what they've been
giving you all these years ?

Get off my reserve.

Put this on the board.

If he asks, we didn't talk. Okay ?
I'm just paying for my coffee.

A rich white lady came here
looking for her.

What did she look like ?

She had red head hair, fancy clothes.
Something to do with the oil company

and she came in a taxi
and left in a car.

- Whose car ?
- Jaclyn's.

You're a brave kid, Solomon.

Hi, you've reached Angela. Can't take
your call right now, leave me a message.

Hey, your door bell's broke.

- It's six thirty.
- So ?

So you're five and a half hours early.
I still have time.

What's with the suitcases ?

Trying to get across the border,
to Montana ?

Then what ? Mexico ?

I tried. I truly tried.

You know what they say.
"Don't try. Do. "

I'm writing you a check
for ten grand.

I know it's not what you want,
it's what I can afford.

- Where's that shitload of cocaine ?
- Like I said. I tried.

Open the suitcases !

Now !

Empty it !

Hurry up !

- Shit ! Where's the shit ?
- I told you I don't have it.

Fucking liar.
Get away from the door.

Go.

You want me to call the cops ?

- Go ahead. Call them.
- You don't think I will ?

- I don't give a fuck.
- Bullshit.

Those motherfuckers.

Angela ?

Help me, Father.

Stop it, it hurts.

The ghost pepper was the spiciest
bit then in North Carolina.

This man created the North Carolina...
Thank you.

It's okay.

The North Carolina reaper.

- Thank you.
- It's alright.

I want to get one. I want to try one.

I remember one in Mexico
the one we used to have...

Thanks.

What's happened ?

Is it something to do with Mexico ?

You owed someone money.

I did a bad thing,

a very bad thing.

I'm fucked, Anna.
