JACKIE: Previously on Hightown...

Remember when I was your snitch?

OSITO: Tell you what I'm driving,

make it easier for you when
you tailing my ass.

- f*cking following me?
- What are you doing?

- [GRUNTS]
- Tell me where Krista is!

Plymouth Rock Motor Court
in Bourne... f*cking c**t.

You know anything about a girl
named Krista Collins?

I think she might know something
about that thing happened out in Truro.

JACKIE: You know what?
I'm gonna leave a note.

- DELVICCARIO: What?
- What the f*ck?

Did you tell someone where I was?

My friend d*ed. f*cking saw it, too.

But, Scotty, you can't tell anybody.

- Yes.
- I am back, m*therf*ckers!

- And I f*cking found her, man.
- What?

JACKIE: I found Krista.

I went to rehab. I'm sober.

- Really?
- How about dinner tomorrow?

Like a date?

- Still not f*cking you, Ron.
- Ah, your loss.

- SHAW: So Delgado, AKA...
- Osito.

- Osito...
- RAY: Yes, Counselor.

Works at O'Donnell's Auto Services.

Yes.

No. Well, he's not actually
employed there.

We believe that's where
he gets his vehicles.

And the residence?

Kathleen O'Donnell's residence,
his girlfriend.

And he lives there?

Stays there sometimes...

we think.

So you want to bug a residence
Delgado doesn't live in

and a private business
where he doesn't work?

Yes, and we'd also like to, uh,
put a state wiretap on his cell phone.

I don't see any judge
signing off on this.

Well, why don't you tell me
what a judge will sign,

and I'll just make sure it's in there?

No shortcuts, Sergeant.
You need to show exhaustion.

Pole cams, controlled buys,
trash pulls... let me see your work.

Okay, listen, with all due respect,
this guy's a f*cking k*ller.

I don't have time to exhaust
every possibility.

You DAs are so concerned
with batting .1000,

you're not even willing to
take a f*cking swing, are you?

You're a good investigator, Ray,

but your reputation in the DA's office is

that you're not effective
on the witness stand.

What are you talking about?
Juries love me.

No, they think you're an assh*le.

Do your job, Sergeant, then you
can tell me how to do mine.

- You know what?
- Thank you for meeting with us

on a Saturday, Amanda.

Yep.

[TELEPHONE RINGS, INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You ever hear the expression
"you catch more flies with honey"?

Just once I'd like to see a DA

stick their neck out like
we f*cking do every day.

No, seriously,
you keep pissing off the brass,

and one day,
they're gonna give me your job.

Yeah, Sergeant Alan Saintille...
has a nice ring to it.

You know what? Go f*ck yourself.

So now what?

- What?

I know you see me drinking this beer.

Oh, sh*t, that? I didn't notice.

[SCOFFS] Yeah.

It was just a work thing last night.

It got a little out of hand.

That happens, but you got
to get back on the horse.

The judge is gonna f*ck you for reals.

A felony DUI's no joke.

[GROANS]

Look, tomorrow we're gonna get together.

We're gonna start working the steps.

Yeah, listen, about that, I got
a lot on my plate, all right?

I got my job back.
I ju... I can't do AA right now.



Are you still on that Nancy Drew tip?

I told you, I already found her.

Nancy Drew, my twat.

You talk to her?

No, not yet. My phone's dead.

Yeah, so, like, uh, where is she?

You don't have to pretend like
you still care about this, okay?

- I get it.
- All right, fine. Whatever.

- Take care of yourself.
- Hey, hey, hey.

Listen, I got a date
with Devonne later tonight,

and I need a little something

to get me back into fighting shape.

You got any blow?

Jackie, I'm your f*cking sponsor.

No, no, no. I fired your ass.

So now you're just Junior,
and you're a drug dealer.

So deal some f*cking dr*gs,

Hey, what's up?

"What's up"?

Emmanuel Delgado, that's what's up.

Osito... uses your place
as his personal rent-a-car,

uses your fleet to deal dr*gs, mule,

commit a couple murders.

You know what I'm talking about.

All right, you want me to break
it down real simple for you?

I'm State Police,
which means wherever you go

in this whole g*dd*mn
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,

I can f*cking find you.

I'm the tip of the spear, m*therf*cker,

and I'm pointed right at you.

What the f*ck you looking at?

You know I got ICE on speed dial, right?

You want to start pulling green cards,

we can go that route.

You see what they do these days, right?

Kids in cages?

Yeah, that's some f*cked-up sh*t, man.

So, yo, here's the scoop, Javier.

You, you work for me now.

You tell me when Osito comes and goes.

You tell me what car he's in
and who's in it with him.

And you do that, maybe,
just maybe you stay out of jail.

Oh, man, I'm f*cking you
one way or the other,

and it's up to you if I use lube or not.

Push a man hard enough,
he's got no choice

- but to fight back.
- Hmm?

Maybe break some little dealer
kid with that thick-d*ck act,

but you come at me that hard...

you know I got to tell you
to go f*ck yourself.

So go f*ck yourself.

And don't come back without a warrant.

Hey, it's your loss, my friend.

So it's good.

You know, that's what

So I'm bigger than myself.

It's not like I'm out here alone,

We're carrying the message.

Enough. We need to talk
about this witness sh*t

that Scotty told you about.

What do you think, J?

I-I don't know. Uh, some chick talking?

No big thing.

[DOOR BUZZES DISTANTLY]

And you?

Probably nothing.

You're half Haitian, right?

Is that why you're so f*cking stupid?

I'm locked up,

and even I know that bitch
is running her mouth,

said she saw some fat-ass
black guy sh**t her friend.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Huh, pendejo?



You're right.



We f*cked up.

We're gonna fix it.

F-fix it how?

[STAMMERS] We can-we can talk to her,

you know, tell her to keep
her mouth shut.

Oh, sh*t, is he for real?

It's done, padrón.



And this one won't float.

FRANKIE: No, f*ck that.

Serve her ass with a hot sh*t.

Junkie ODs on The Cape,

What about that lady
asking questions in the rehab?



You could do that, too.

Wait, ho-ho-hold up. "Too"?

No, that's crazy.

That lady, she-she ain't nothing.

How do you know?

Got people in rehab, looked into it.

Turns out it's a lady I know...

a fishery service agent.

She's nobody, f*cking crazy bitch.

You don't need to do anything about that.

Just take care of the one thing,

and the other isn't even
a problem anymore.



Okay.

Just the one.



Kizzle's inside
on some bullshit as*ault thing,

so take him.



[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

No f*cking way. I'm not going.

You, like, six steps behind, bro.

You the one that's gonna do it.

What?

She saw me pop her friend.

You think she gonna let me into her room,

take some junk off of me?

- It's got to be you.
- No, I'm not a f*cking k*ller.

Yeah, but you a dealer.

You think you never gave
someone the bag that took them out?

Dope fiends be chasing the high

that's gonna put them under,
chasing that fire.

It's gonna happen sooner or later.

We just fast-forwarding
her life a couple weeks.

You need to get it into your head

that this is what's gonna happen.

You f*cked up last time,

and this right here,
this is your chance to make it right.

to help us sleep this chick.

What is it? You-you keep
looking in that rearview.

A cop's sniffing around the garage.

Want to see if they got a tail on us.

A cop? You didn't say anything
about that to Frankie.

Frankie knows there's cops.
Ain't no thing.

No, no, no, man. If-if cops are after us,

we got-we-we got to chill out.

We can't do this right now.

First off, ain't nobody gonna know sh*t.

She just gonna be an OD.

Second off, cops hanging around
is exactly why we got to do this.

- Mm-mm. We got to lay low.
- LAY LOW?

Man, if we went and hid
every time there was heat,

we'd never get anything done.

What you think, dealing was free money?

This is the job, son.

[CAR HORN HONKS DISTANTLY]

- Huh?

[TIRES SQUEAL, ENGINE REVS]

[GRUNTS]

Look behind us.

I'm gonna go back next week. I...

It's got to stick one of these times.

[SCOFFS]

Yeah, you ought... you ought to go back.

I just get tired of it, you know?

Like... maybe going to meetings every day

isn't the best way
to forget you're a junkie.

Yeah, but you're not supposed
to forget, right?

You're supposed to process it.

Get down to the causes
and conditions, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, I hear you.

One day at a time.

One day at a time.

But, like, not today.

You sure? I can get someone else.

[SINISTER MUSIC]



You really just gonna watch me sh**t up?

Yeah, just long enough
for you to tell me how it is.



You know I'm not gonna f*ck you, right?

Even after I get off, I'm not into that.

Yeah. Yeah, fine by me.

Just... just try it out,
and I'll-I'll bounce.

No, you know what?
Maybe-maybe you ought to leave.

I-I don't want to get high
in front of a sober dude.

You're freaking me out.

Why do you want to watch me?
What are you gonna do?

You gonna wake up, and...
