Richie:
Three grand, three days,

or the next dead b*tch
lyin' in a ditch

is gonna be your mommy.

Maggie:
Son of a b*tch!

Tony:
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.

Jared:
You just moved in with
the Jacks family?

Sarah:
This is my third
foster home this year.

Jared:
I've been seeing some
weird sh*t lately.

(intense music)

Jared:
Arson and insurance fraud
to settle a drug debt?

Maggie:
We're splitting it 50/50.

Richie is staying
with us for a while.

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.

Ugh, 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.

Wade, my boy Jared.

Yeah.

Three of us were inseparable.

Never heard of you before.

Wade:
Almost.

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.

Wade:
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 sh*t together.

Neither did your mom.

Yeah, she still doesn't.

You'd never guess it now,

but Phil did have
his sh*t 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.

(ominous music)

Your ma inherited a lot of
your Grandma Sophia's sh*t.

Might explain her situation.

Doesn't mean you
gotta bear it too.

No, I didn't know that
about Grandma Sophia.

Wade:
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.

Phil:
Let's get sh*t-faced!

Wade:
Brother Phil,

deliver us from sobriety.

A toast.

(speaking in Haisla)

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.

(glasses clink)

(thrash music)
(laughing)

Richie:
Oh, Mr. Jared.

How are you?

Welcome, well
come grab a beer,

you little prick.

Where's my mom?

Richie:
Aw, Jared's lookin'
for his mommy.

I dunno where she is.

(chuckling)

Richie:
Mommy!

Here.

Tell me about the
night I was born.

Where the hell is
this comin' from?

Just tell me.

(suspenseful music)

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
a*s in the back of the truck.

End of story.

Wasn't there a totem
or something nearby?

Maggie:
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 g*dd*mn
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 f*ck off.

I love you, Jelly Bean.

No, Mom.

Stay the hell
away from Wade.
