Trickster

Hey jared, headband?

What, did you invite him?

I was just trying to help.

Maybe you can help.

By just minding your own business.

How's jared?

You mean the grandson you haven't seen in 10 years?

I got a lot to make up for.

You can start by helping me get rid of wade.

Would you like a ride?

My name's georgina.

You're wade's son.

What are you?

A trickster.

Does my mom know?

She's also a witch.

What's he want then?

Guess we better find out.

You got maggie, tell me your story.

Geez, man.

I'm sorry, jared.

Didn't wanna wake you.

So you thought you'd scare me to death?

Morning, sunshine.

Did you bring any food or better yet, beer?

How you holdin' up?

You're a trickster and.

Mom's a witch, like.

What does that make me?

Well I can't speak for witches,

But for tricksters it's hereditary.

But it skips generations.

Well what's that mean?

I've had a lot of kids,

But none of them's ever been a trickster.

Well how many kids?

Hundreds.

How old are you?

Jared, if you're a trickster,

Big if,

Could be weeks, months,

Even years before you know.

But that's also why georgina is here,

To find out if you are.

Because she hunts tricksters.

And why you should come to vancouver with me.

We'll be safe in the city.

They don't like cities.

I've gotta talk to my mom.

You trust your mom to tell you everything now?

Lay low for now.

I'll track your mom down.

I'm sick of hiding here, I'm coming too.

It's too dangerous for you.

And you?

I've been avoiding georgina for a long time.

Why does she hunt you?

It's the way it's always been.

That's it?

That's everything.

Weeg'it.

Weeg'it.

You need a bell around your neck.

Minding my own business,

Like you should.

It's time.

No more avoiding.

I'm not avoiding.

I'm just delaying.

You've lost your way.

The opposite.

There's money to make.

Whiskey to drink.

This is what you've become?

It's the way the world's become.

Open the north door.

Open it!

Return us home.

Come, your son awaits.

What have you?

No sign of the boy.

And weeg'it?

What's he call himself again?

Wayne.

Wade.

We get him on side.

And if he won't?

Hey mom?

Hey mom!

Mom?

Hey mom.

Fuck.

Geez, disgusting.

Fuckin' shit, come on.

Lunch is ready.

I've been trying to get a hold of jared since I got here.

I got no bars.

You're in the bush.

Yeah, no shit.

I gotta let him know that I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere.

Not gonna get reception out here.

Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice.

Hey.

Hey, I'm still lookin' for your mom,

But no luck yet.

Yeah, don't bother, she texted.

And?

And nothing.

You all right?

Sure, I'll meet you back at the shack?

You're not there now?

Stretching my legs.

I told you,

You need to lay low.

Yeah, I heard you.

I'll come by as soon as I can.

Where are you?

Hey.

Shit.

Guess it's too late to run away.

No, it's cool.

Yeah well, power's cut off,

The fridge conked out,

And everything spoiled.

You know what that's like.

I get it.

Now, let's get you set up.

Smooth or crunchy?

Smooth.

Ew, but who am I to judge?

Kraft dinner or canned spaghetti?

Um, that's a tough one.

Both it is.

Hey you got any, beer back there?

All yours if I did.

Your order, sir.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes I stick my nose where it doesn't belong.

I shouldn't have invited your dad to the protest.

Honestly, I'm glad you did.

Like, seriously glad.

I'm almost done my shift.

Wow.

What is this place?

It's, it's my escape.

The cleaners are on holiday.

Holy shit, the pink e.

You made it.

Well it, it's not that hard.

Maybe for the average joe,

But you're not average, are you?

Want some chocolate pudding?

Appetizer first?

What are you doing with all this?

I don't know yet.

It's good to know our history.

Remember where we come from and where we're going.

You know when you took off,

I didn't know where you were going.

Or when you'd be back, if ever.

So I told jared you died.

I didn't know how to explain to a seven-year-old.

That his gran just dropped off the face of the earth.

So when you sent him a birthday card the next year,

He nearly shit himself.

He thought that you rose back from the dead.

Aww.

Here it is.

It starts there.

An elder told me a story her gran told her once.

Someone was poaching moose on their territory.

They wanted to know who it was,

So they did a calling spell to lure out the culprit.

Did it work?

Like a charm.

We cast the same spell,

Lure trickster here,

Then kill him right this time.

Fuckin' a.

You know, using medicine for selfish reasons.

Could bring bad things.

Whose side are you on?

This isn't about sides.

You don't even know why these voices want wade dead.

Spirits!

You know,

If you walk the red road you'll find clarity.

What?

Recovering alcoholics.

Are almost as annoying as self-righteous vegans.

You're impossible, you know that?

Yeah, well the joke's on you 'cause you raised me.

Whatever, god.

Takin' off again?

See you in another 10 years?

No, goin' to get firewood.

We got a trickster to bag.

I love this song.

First place I look and here you are.
