Trickster (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

Three grand, three days,
or the next dead bitch
lyin' in a ditch
is gonna be your mommy.
Son of a bitch!
What the hell is her problem?
I'm gonna have to let you go.
Hey, Dad.
-Jared.
I'm pregnant.
You're gonna be an uncle.
I think you mean brother.
You just moved in with
the Jacks family?
This is my third
foster home this year.
I've been seeing some
weird shit lately.
Arson and insurance fraud
to settle a drug debt?
We're splitting it 50/50.
Richie is staying
with us for a while.
Richie, turn it down!
At least change the song!
Dick.
Who took a dump
in your cereal?
Richie plays the exact
same song when he showers.
The same song,
every day.
That's insane.
I think it's adorable.
I like having a real man
around the house for once,
instead of a mopey,
smelly teenager.
I love you too, Mom.
This tastes like piss.
How long is Richie
staying here for anyway?
Until I get my share
of the insurance money.
Mom.
Richie could be the answer to a
lot of our problems, Jelly Bean.
Unless the cops figure out
that you torched his trailer.
You worry too much.
You don't enough.
Because it's a waste of time.
Richie's a waste of time.
You could have your pick of
guys and you choose that loser?
We're gonna play house
for as long as it takes.
Do not mess things up for me.
You're gonna do that
all by yourself.
Aw, my baby's jealous.
Try desperate.
You seem to be fitting in
just fine with the locals.
For now.
You skate?
Sure.
No, I don't.
I don't know why
I just said that.
You bring any
snacks to share?
No, sorry I'm out.
But I mean-
I do got some Cheesies.
Can't land a kick flip
while baked anyways.
Pssh, everybody knows that.
You know, I didn't think
you had a fun side.
Them sound like
fightin' words.
Well I mean you're
all reclaim this,
decolonize that.
You got it.
Check this out.
Hardcore resistance
with a dash of sparkle,
if you haven't noticed.
I noticed.
Hey Sarah, you coming?
Come on man, let's go!
Later, skater.
Where's my carburetor?
Yeah, it was-it was taking
up way too much space, so.
Okay.
You're taking up
too much space,
useless puke.
Go on, hit me.
What?
Punch me, I know
you want to.
Got yourself a little
death wish or something?
You're all talk.
I know your game.
If I smack you up,
you'll run to mommy,
I get kicked out.
Not gonna happen.
Well there's only
one way to find out.
All right.
Game on, bitch.
What?
One of us is gonna
have to leave,
and I
guaran-fucking-tee you
it's not gonna
be me leavin'.
What's with you two?
', we're just talking.
Girls and sports.
Male bonding.
Shit liars,
both of you.
There ain't no damn food.
Money's tight
until I get a job,
and less mouths to feed.
Well, Jared.
Why don't you run down
and get some groceries
for your mom?
My treat.
Anything your mama wants.
I'm not taking your money.
The hell you won't.
I want pancakes.
Well take it.
I got lots myself.
I'll pay you back
when I get a job.
No need, no need.
We're family now, hey?
You can call me dad
if you want to.
I don't know, man.
I don't think you should
start selling again
until you know
who rolled you.
You coulda
kept the money.
Yeah man, I can't do that
but I really appreciate it.
Hey, Mr. Nelson.
- What's up?
- Hey.
Hey boys.
What's the word?
Looks like the
word is 'party'.
What's the occasion?
Tuesday?
You boys should come.
Shit's gonna get lit.
You must be Maggie's boy.
Hey Jared.
This is my buddy Wade.
Wade, my boy Jared.
I see the resemblance.
You know my mom?
Yeah, back in the day.
Yeah.
Three of us were inseparable.
Never heard of you before.
You've been gone,
what now, 20 years?
Almost.
Shit, look at the time.
Well I gotta go, man.
See ya.
Come tonight, Jared.
Yeah, sure.
Funny, you don't look
anything like him.
In fact, you got my eyes.
What?
I said you got my eyes.
Ask your mom.
What?
it
talking to me you guys!
I told you the first time!
Really?
Hey Mom?
Ha ha, very funny.
Hey Mom, are you okay?
Hey Mom, are you okay?
Hey Mom!
I wouldn't.
- What's going on?
- Leave me alone!
Your mama ditched me
so she could argue with
her imaginary friends.
Must be going on
20 minutes now.
She does that sometimes.
Yeah?
Ain't nobody told
me she was crazy.
Kick your ass.
Get out of my-
Get out of my head!
Dude, what's with
all the old people?
If Wade's your dad,
he's pretty damn cool.
Phil's cool too but,
you know, in his own way.
You guys wasted or what?
Yeah man, I'm cool.
I wanna show you something.
90 HP, 119 torque, 1900 cc's.
Yeah I have no idea what
any of those numbers mean.
You've never ridden
a motorcycle?
No.
If you want,
I could take
you for a spin
before I head back
to Vancouver.
What'd your mom say?
Nothing.
Because I didn't tell her.
You don't believe me.
Why would she just lie
about Phil being my dad?
Because back in the day I
wasn't ready to be a dad.
Didn't have my shit together.
Neither did your mom.
Yeah, she still doesn't.
You'd never guess it now,
but Phil did have
his shit together.
Plus, he also loved your mom.
So she did what was
best for her baby boy.
She was crazy back then too?
Crazy's relative.
Yeah, just hope it's
not hereditary.
If you're hearin' voices,
like your ma,
or other strange things,
you can tell me.
Yeah, no,
no nothin' like that, no.
You know your Grandma Sophia?
She was shipped off to
residential school.
Your ma inherited a lot of
your Grandma Sophia's shit.
Might explain her situation.
Doesn't mean you
gotta bear it too.
No, I didn't know that
about Grandma Sophia.
There's a lot of
stuff you don't know.
Starting with when
you were born.
So I was born in the back
of a pickup truck, I know.
You don't know
the half of it.
What, and you do?
Sure.
I was there.
-Bullshit.
Let's get shit-faced!
Brother Phil,
deliver us from sobriety.
A toast.
What's that, like
Latin or something?
Haisla kayla.
Loosely translated,
it means
'know thyself'.
I'll drink to that.
Hell, I'll drink to anything.
Mr. Jared.
How are you?
Welcome, well
come grab a beer,
you little prick.
Where's my mom?
Aw, Jared's lookin'
for his mommy.
I dunno where she is.
Mommy!
Here.
Tell me about the
night I was born.
Where the hell is
this comin' from?
Just tell me.
I was drivin' back
from Terrace one night,
when I went into labour.
So I pulled over in
the middle of nowhere,
and I birthed your wrinkly
ass in the back of the truck.
End of story.
Wasn't there a totem
or something nearby?
No totem, it was a ancient
face carved into a tree.
In Heiltsuk it's
called Mamathlteeasa.
Long ago our
people would
carve faces into trees
to mark territory.
It was one of those.
So where was this?
In the goddamn
bush somewhere.
You know, I was a little
busy squeezing your fat head
out of my uterus
to take notes.
And you were alone?
Hey, why are you giving
me the third degree?
Because I met Wade,
and he says he's
my real dad.
And that he was with you
the night I was born.
Why would he just say that?
Wade was an old snag,
nothing more.
And he's still jealous
that I chose Phil over him.
That's why.
Now fuck off.
I love you, Jelly Bean.
No, Mom.
Stay the hell
away from Wade.
Wade!
Where you going?
Wade, where you going?
Where you going?
Give-give me my baby!
I killed you.
ggie, you look good.
What the hell are you?
I came to see my son.
Yeah?
And who might that be?
Because it sure
isn't my Jared.
We were so good together,
Maggie, you know?
We could be again.
I don't remember.
In fact,
I barely remember
your sorry ass at all.
So quit with the
stalker talk.
Right.
So you came to see me to
say you don't wanna see me?
No, I came to warn you.
You stay the fuck away
from me and Jared.
Or I'll kill you for good.
Man, I can't help but feel
that my mom's not
being real with me.
So why don't you
ask your dad?
Well, I mean, Phil.
Nice.
No man, I can't say shit.
That would honestly
crush him.
Are you sure you wanna
grovel for your old job back?
I don't have a choice, man.
Hey!
- Hat!
- Shit.
Jesus, it looks like super
slo-mo back here guys,
come on!
Hey Tony?
Guys, if you were
moving any slower,
you'd be moving backwards,
come on!
Tony?
Jared, what gives?
Hey man, I was,
I was wondering if I could
get my old job back.
I can't have you
working here, Jared.
What if your mom comes back
and makes another scene?
No, she won't.
I-I promise she
will not do that.
Just please.
I need a delivery driver.
You got a car?
No, no I don't got a car.
I'm sorry Jared,
it's all I got.
All right, man.
Can I just get a
bucket of thighs?
Yeah, sure.
Spicy or bland as shit?
Bland as shit will do.
Give me a bucket of bland!
Hungry?
A godsend.
What are you looking for?
It's kids stuff from
when you were a baby,
for the new baby.
You still have stuff
from when I was a baby?
Shit yeah,
kept everything.
Check this out.
What a cutie?
No.
Was Wade in the
picture back then?
Yeah, three of us were
tight back in the day.
But he moved to Vancouver
before you were born.
He was always too
big for Kitimat.
Do you trust him?
Sure.
Wade's a good guy,
just plays up the cool
thing a bit if you ask me.
Speak of the devil.
Jared, how 'bout that
ride I promised you?
No, no man I'm good.
Thanks though.
It may be your
last chance.
I'm leaving for
Vancouver pretty quick.
Go on Jared.
It'll be fun.
I miss this place.
Mom thinks you're
back just to cause shit,
because you're
jealous of Phil.
She's right,
I am jealous of Phil.
He got to raise you.
Well, yeah he's my dad.
You need proof.
Come on then.
Where are we going?
The stars were out crazy
the night you came.
Your mom and I were driving.
She was alone.
She was already in labour,
so we had to gun it
to the hospital.
But you wouldn't wait.
I pulled over,
laid a sleeping bag in
the back of the truck,
not long after
you popped out.
Bullshit.
I cut your umbilical cord
with a Leatherman,
I shit you not.
So that's your proof?
The same story my
mom's told everyone.
If I'm makin' this up,
how could I possibly
know about that?
This is where you
were born, son.
Hey.
Naw, I've been
going hard lately,
I'm trying to level out.
Okay.
But tonight I need this.
Thanks.
So how's the new
foster fam going?
They're nice enough,
but we're worlds apart.
I feel that wherever I go.
You said this was your third
home this year, how come?
Can I trust you?
After you tell me are
you gonna dismember me
and leave me in the
trash for rats to eat?
Maybe.
I'm looking for
my birth parents.
You know who they are?
No, that's why I keep
moving from town to town.
And they just
let you do that?
No, but it's easy.
When it's time to move
on I just act out,
steal a car,
get in a fight,
call in a bomb scare.
Seriously?
Then child services
ships me off
to the next home
in a new town,
and I start my search for my
mom and dad all over again.
Devious.
You see that?
What?
I-I gotta go.
10 bucks, straight in.
The hell you don't.
Easy.
Who's this guy?
Nobody.
I warned you once
to fuck off!
Do not test me.
Does Jared know who
you really are?
Jared doesn't need
to know shit.
I could tell him for
you if you want.
I mean,
if you're afraid to.
Hey,
Wait, wait, wait.
I'll see you in hell.
Think of the fun we'll have.
Who the fuck
is this guy?
Nobody.
Not so hard!
Georgina.
Long time.
Aren't you a sight, Weeg'it?
It's Wade now.
Wade.
Sounds like an animal cry.
Edna, is that you?
Like the new look?
And Albert.
New skins,
what gives?
It's easier to get
by when you pass.
- Not for too much longer,
- I'd say.
So,
you finally crawled
out from under a rock?
Why?
I needed a change
of scenery.
I'm surprised to see
you out and about,
especially in
your condition.
Risky, don't you think?
You know me.
Someone drops a
feather and I hear it.
Who's the boy?
My buddy's kid.
We've been waiting
a long time.
I won't let you worm your
way out this time, Weeg'it.
When the time comes
I'll do what's right.
But who knows when
that'll be, right?
Don't ever leave me.
Hey.
Hey son, you're up early.
Hey Dad.
Is,
is Wade here?
No, I haven't seen
him since last night.
I, I guess he got lucky,
the dog.
Yeah, I was just
gonna ask if,
could go on another
run on his motorcycle.
Cool, was it?
Well it was no big deal.
I'm glad you stopped by.
I was gonna give
you a call.
Well I'm tapped on money
at the moment so I can't-
It's not about that.
The old man's got
a surprise for ya.
Remember I told you I might
be getting an increase
in my disability cheques?
Well that fell through.
But my social worker
came through with
something else.
This baby is all yours.
Wow.
And you can make it your own,
you know,
Rez your ride.
You could get a
custom paint job
with some flames along
the side, you know,
make it look real skookum.
Don't you need it
though for your back?
Nah, but don't tell
my social worker.
I got a baby coming
but you're my firstborn.
I don't want you
feelin' left out.
Thanks, Dad.
Anything for my boy.
You know, you're
gonna be a great dad
to the baby.
Hey, Tony?
Don't ever go into
the restaurant business
whatever you do.
Hey is that, delivery
job still available?
Didn't you hear
what I just said?
Well I've got
a vehicle now.
All right.
Don't say I
didn't warn ya.
I see you.
Shit.
Hey.
Nice wheels.
You, didn't realize I was
disabled when you met me?
I think the preferred
term is differently abled.
Well, I seem to be pretty
differently abled around you.
And I just thought
you were a virgin.
No.
Hey, I'm sorry
about last night.
I was really stoned,
kinda freaked out.
Already forgotten.
So, what are you
advertising for?
I'm not selling anything.
I'm raising awareness.
Anti-pipeline protest.
The federal government
is trying to force a pipeline
through unceded lands.
I don't know if that's
gonna fly here.
A lot of the people are relying
on the new gas terminal
for jobs.
So, you're pro-pipeline?
No, it's just
an observation.
You want some help?
No.
Well the Lions put
up a fight but this
Roughrider defence was
too stuck tonight.
Mom!
A good night on the ground.
David Roosevelt-
- Where's my mom?
A prime target for-
What's up, loser?
Where is she?
I don't know!
You tell me.
I haven't seen her since
she took off this morning
with my shotgun.
She's probably on a bender.
She does that sometimes.
Great, well she
could've invited me.
