Tin Star

Ost...

Hello?

Who the fuck are you?

Whitey?

Did I come at a bad time?

Who the hell are you?

I'm a friend of Anna's.

Never seen him before in my life.

She's joking.

Looks a bit dodgy to me.

That whole clean-cut, boy-next-door thing,

I don't buy it.

What do you think, Mum?

The door was open.

Who is he?

His name's Whitey. He saved my life.

What?

Up at the dam. I told you.

I don't care who you are,

you sneak into my house again, I'll fucking shoot you.

Where's Dad?

Uh, could you give us a moment, please?

Who is he?

Where's Dad?

Can you answer the question?

He's a vac driver.

A what?

Where is he?

I have no idea where your father is.

How'd you meet him?

Told you.

What were you doing up at the dam?

Just exploring.

I thought you'd taken him back.

No.

Then what happened last night?

I don't know yet.

- Stay where I can see you. - Yeah.

Do you wanna see the river?

Yeah, yeah, I'd love to.

Whitey.

My family's going through a hard time right now.

I know.

Anna told me.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You just be careful with her, that's all.

I'll take good care of her, Mrs. Worth.

And watch out for bears.

Fuck.

Shut up!

Jesus.

Do you know anything about snakes?

No.

Your mum did say to look out for bears, though.

They hunt along the edge of the river, apparently.

Why do you care?

What?

Why do you care whether I get eaten by bears or not?

I like a girl in wellies.

I mean it. Why...

Why do you care what happens to me? You barely know me.

I like you.

I shouldn't have said that.

Say something, for fuck's sake.

Um...

Better get back.

What do you want from me?

Nothing.

Wait.

Ah, fucking hell.

What the fuck happened to you?

I got shot.

Wasn't me, was it?

- Biker gang? - Biker gang...

Robbed a North Stream Oil truck?

Oh, good for them.

I said this town was going to shit.

How's the girls? They all right?

They're fine.

Yeah, I should get over there.

I've run out of toothpaste.

You got any toothpaste?

How about chewing gum?

How about mouthwash?

Smell me.

All right?

I should probably shower, right?

Yeah.

All right.

I should go.

No, you stay.

All right?

You go, I'll drink, so... Tell them I'm on the way.

I don't think it's such a good idea to go back

to your house right now.

Yeah? Why's that?

On account of what happened?

Which what happened?

Still there?

Yeah, I'm still here, Chief.

Who asked him to chop wood?

He offered.

What's his real name?

Oh, I don't know, probably something embarrassing.

Yeah, but why Whitey, for God's sakes?

Jesus, Mum, will you leave him alone?

Apparently...

he was the only white kid in the care home.

He grew up in a care home?

His mum's a drunk.

No wonder you two get along.

She's way worse than Dad.

Is she now?

Whitey spends all his money on a nursing home.

He hasn't given up on her.

You think I've given up on your father, is that it?

You kicked him out.

Of course I kicked him out.

He slept with another woman.

And do you think that's okay?

Your father kicked our front door in last night.

He was smashed, reeking of whiskey

and covered in blood.

And how did that make you feel?

I don't know, Mum. I don't know what to feel.

There are so many things you're not telling me.

Why are you carrying a gun around?

Why was there a fucking snake in the house?

Whose blood was Dad covered in?

- Anna... - I'm not a kid anymore!

I held him...

just after he'd been shot in the head.

My little brother, I held him.

Oh, my God.

What has Dad done?

I honestly don't know.

Yes?

May I speak with you?

Yes.

Is this an inconvenient time?

Yes.

Well, I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you.

How can I help you?

You hunt.

A man of many hobbies, I see.

And most of them are private.

Excuse me.

Why is a multi- billion-dollar corporation

worried about what a small-town cop has to say?

Nobody else is.

He has zero credibility.

I checked with legal, they're not driving it.

And it's not coming from the top floor, so it must be you.

You're the Head of Security,

you're supposed to be running a zero-tolerance policy

on drugs, gambling, prostitution.

You're not watching our employees,

you're watching the Police Chief.

Why are you so worried about him?

What has he done that you task me

with destroying his career and his family?

My job is...

all I have.

And...

in my...

all-consuming pursuit of high standards,

sometimes I overstep the mark.

And I have made you feel, uh...

uncomfortable.

I apologize.

You apologize to me?

Yes.

Don't try and do my job, Monsieur Gagnon.

Your job?

Intimidation, you are good at.

Making friends, you are not.

You could've leveled with me, but you didn't.

Remember that.

If you don't lay off the booze

they're gonna take your gun and your star.

Fuck 'em.

I mean, seriously, fuck 'em.

You know what?

They can't suspend me if I chuck it in, right?

I liked the gun, but I didn't much care for the star.

Here you are. You have it.

You'd make a much better chief than me, Chief.

Why are you doing this?

My family's not safe.

Whoever tried to kill me is gonna have another go, so...

I'm gonna round up the girls and get out of here.

- You're quitting? - Yep.

Can we at least talk about this?

We did.

I can't fucking believe this.

Just drive on.

So, gonna get you to fill the rest of this out.

Thank you.

Back in your box.

You can't be too careful,
