At some point I just sat there and looked confused. It makes it hard to sort out who wanted who to do what.īut Malik did talk to his friend Jerome and tell him to make sure that Tiana didn't testify, so he made Tiana OD. She said that she was constantly afraid of there not being enough money to make rent on the federal monies they received, and sometimes thinking that she'd be better off dead. It makes me wonder if she actually did come up with the idea to sell herself, possibly with some not-so-subtle hints from her brother. This finally disturbs Tiana enough to run out of the courtroom. So yeah, he pimped out his mother and his sister. It comes out that the person who organized the "date" which led to the assault was Malik. Their mom went on the stand to testify on her son's behalf she's all Team Malik until Fin brings in the man she assaulted (which is why she's in prison). I thought the show couldn't get any more disturbing, but I was wrong.
#INTO THE BADLANDS GUARDIAN RECAP DRIVER#
One of the witnesses at the trial is the driver hired to take Tiana around to keep her safe as she went to "appointments", and says that whenever he dropped her off she ran into Malik’s arms and he hugged her tight. So she told Malik that she could help out by selling herself, and he seemed okay with it. The family had money for things before her mom went to prison, but they only had a small amount of federal support and it wasn't enough to give them the things they wanted. She’s their witness against Malik, but says she won’t testify and maintains that she is the one who wanted to prostitute herself and did the whole thing on her own. Olivia also tries to help straight-A student Tiana understand that she can have more in the world than pimping herself out and getting high and drunk so she can handle it. The last half of the episode deals with Malik on trial for child endangerment and promoting prostitution, among other things. My first thought was that he wasn’t really her brother, that he was actually her pimp. Malik runs up and tells her that he’s going to kill the men who raped her, and Tiana immediately agrees, shouting that she was raped. They find Tiana, the 16-year-old victim, sprawled on the ground in the park, disheveled and out of it (her tox screen later shows a crazy amount of alchol and herion in her system). Malik begs them not to arrest them but to go to the local park because his sister is being raped. A misunderstanding with the owner has them running into the street, right into the police that owner called when he thought the boys were going to rob him. Tiana’s brother, Malik, and his friend run into a bodega in the middle of the night. What starts out as a straightforward he said/she said and takes an odd and surprisingly original turn in this week’s story.
