Post by bunniefuu »

[RENEE] Previously on Hightown...

[JACKIE] Frankie Cuevas was
released from prison this morning.


Chanice Bailly helped bury Jorge.

I didn't k*ll Jorge. Renee did.

I spoke with Frankie earlier.

He had some wild ideas
about Jorge's death.

I work with Ray, I'm Sarah.

Renee, you're right. I f*cked her.

I k*lled Jorge.

I don't give a f*ck what you did.

- Come on, open up.
- Aah!

- Is that a f*cking bayonet?
- Got it as payment.

So you just entered the victim's house

- on, like, a hunch?
- [JACKIE] And Swayzee's

still out there hurting girls.

[ALAN] His alibi checks
out for the Petey m*rder.


And, uh, Tom Dolan
over at Fall Brook says

- they don't have much else.
- Damn.

[RAY] Suddenly Shane's fully exposed

'cause of his idiot nephew?

[OWEN] I'm done layin' low.
The cops don't have sh*t.


You f*cked up spectacularly.

Osito is still alive,
and a civilian is dead.


- What's up, O?
- What's good, little G?

I was gonna put a b*llet in my brain.

And instead, you put one in a cop?

Jesus. I said I was sorry.
f*ck! I could fix this, okay?

I could... I could... I could fix this.

I just...

I just a little help, Uncle Shane.

I just need a little help. That's all.

I will help you, Owen.

I promise you that, just
like I promised your mother.

I loved her very much, my baby sister.

And boy, did she love you.
The two of you were somethin'.

Even when you were just
tearing the house apart,

she would just laugh and say,
"Give 'em hell, baby boy."

And she was gone.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

There's no one to blame for it.

There's no one to fight,
no vengeance to take.

I just had to carry it in here.

But I promised her I
would take care of you,

that I would do what was best for you,

and I did that every day
of my life as best I could.

So you forgive me?

Yes, Owen.

I forgive you. [TRIGGER COCKS]

- [g*nsh*t]
- [OWEN] Uhh...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

So stupid. Why are you so stupid?

[RAY] You understand?
It's gotta be clear.

- All right. Thank you.
- [ALAN] Listen up. Listen up.

Just got word that Owen Frawley

was found dead in Brewster State Forest.

One to the chest
sometime a few hours ago.

- Who got him?
- [ALAN] Wasn't one of us.

He was found lying in
the dirt next to his car.

They didn't even try to hide the body.

Someone wanted him found.

Someone wanted this to f*cking end.

Osito's got motive.

Well, the ME's into it right now.

Maybe she'll turn up something.

In the meantime, we're
going through everything.

Car, boat, properties, etcetera.

Wow. That's been a helluva 24 hours.

Just want to thank
everyone for their work.

You got reports, but, uh, just...

save 'em for the morning.

Go home to your families, all right?

Jack, you should really go home too.

[SMALL LAUGH]

Yeah, sure.

Full disclosure.

I'm gonna go do some work
on my thing at Fall Brook.

Well, you run into some sh*t,
you give me a call, all right?

[RAY] He's right.

Don't be a f*cking hero.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Really.

Evening, Detective.
This is Agent Quinones,

Fishery Service and State Police.

We met at the Peter
D'Angelo crime scene.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember. What's up?

[JACKIE] I was wondering
if you had a minute


to talk about the case.

[DOLAN] It's okay,
honey. Keep the change.


Uh, yeah, why don't you come
by the station tomorrow?


Uh, actually, I'm kind of
working this one after hours.

Is there any way you could talk now?

Uh, well, I'm a few drinks in,

but that's when I do my best work,

- so sh**t.
- Yeah? Uh-um...

all right, do you have
the case files with you?

Uh, at the bar. No, I do
not. They're at my house.

Great. Can we meet
there in an hour or so?

- Okay, see you then.
- Cool. Thanks.

Trooper Cooper. What are you doing here?

Hey, Sarge. Didn't you get my voicemail?

I just brought in Chanice
Bailly, the real one.

- What?
- Yeah, we picked her up

about an hour ago off
of an anonymous tip.

She's waiting in interrogation.

Hot damn! Trooper Cooper.

[LAUGHING]

Frankie Cuevas, you crafty m*therf*cker.

[DOOR OPENS]

Angela Campbell...

Chanice Bailly,

or whatever your name is,

you are one tough girl to catch.

- What am I here for?
- Don't play that.

We have you on conspiracy
to commit m*rder

and the actual m*rder.

Around here, we call that m*rder one.

I don't know nothin' about nothin'.

I just come here to clean the rooms

and send money back home to me kids.

Illegal disposal of a body
in conjunction with a crime.

But I didn't do none of that. I just...

Now listen, I know you
didn't k*ll Jorge Cuevas,

but if you don't give me something...

you'll go down for all of it.

Let's say someone ask
you to do something

and you felt like you had no choice.

Is that still m*rder one?

I'll make you a deal.

You tell me who k*lled
Jorge right here, right now,

I'll give you full immunity.

It was the boss, Renee.

[VEHICLE PARKS]

[SIGHS]

Just came to pay my
respects. Heard about Owen.

Of all the people I thought
would visit me tonight,

wasn't expecting you. Drink?

Nah, I'm good.

Just wanted you to know
it wasn't me or mine.

I know it wasn't,

but you didn't come
here to tell me that.

- I got a new connect.
- Ah.

And I need some capital.

Figure me and you could
wipe the slate clean.

What happened between
us, it wasn't personal.

It was just business.

There's no bigger lie.

There's no bigger lie we tell ourselves

than it's just business.

It's always personal.

Give a man money, take
it away, or k*ll him.

What could be more personal than that?

But you and me are good. An
eye for an eye, as it were.

I am sorry about your nephew.

Yeah, me too.

Give me a couple of days.

We'll get together and
uh, roll up our sleeves.

[ALAN] Now Trooper Cooper here is gonna

see you home safe, all right?

I'm gonna need you to
keep an eye on her.


- Yes, sir.
- I'm not going anywhere.

I just want to put all this behind me.

[ALAN] Yes, ma'am.

Well, thank you, Angela.
You're doing the right thing.

[ANGELA] Mm-hmm.

[ENGINE TURNS]

[RENEE] Hey, so get this.

Alan came to the f*cking club today

with a bunch of cops,
and they found nothing.

I said nothing like you told me.

They checked the office.
They checked everywhere, nothing.

You wanna... you wanna lick the spoon?

- What?
- Alan found one of the Jamaicans.

f*ck!

f*ck! Are you f*cking kidding me?

We gotta make a plan.

[INHALES]

Okay.

Okay. What's the plan, Ray?

You gotta get rid of the cleaning lady.

Like, k*ll her?

- [SMALL LAUGH] No, no, no.
- God.

[RAY] Renee, come here.

You disappeared her once.
You can disappear her again.


We're gonna buy her off.

She probably already
told Alan everything.

It doesn't... [SIGHS] It's too late.

Hey, no, no, no. That doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter what
a witness tells police.

What matters is they have to go to court

and face cross examination.

So if she's not here, there's no case.

You understand?

All right. Now, where's your stash?

The cabinet. Top left.

Brought it back from work like you said.

Jesus, Renee. This is a lot.

- Are these real Oxies or pressies?
- Yeah. No, they're real.

And this coke,

do you know how many
times it's been stepped on?

Not... not much.

Hardly at all, I think.

Okay.

[EDGY MUSIC PLAYS]

I think you're looking at a
couple hundred grand right here.

You told me that I
couldn't sell anymore.

You told me that yesterday.

I spent half my life...

putting away people who sell this sh*t.

I hate it and everything it stands for.

But if it's between this and you,

f*ck it.

You're not gonna sell it.

We are.

[DOLAN] Roberts. Gallagher.
Ah, Peter D'Angelo.


Here it is.

- Thanks again for doing this.
- Yeah.

You know, every now and then

a case gets under your skin, you know?

[CHUCKLES] Believe you me,
I know of what you speak.

But what is it about this case?

Um... I was looking for this girl

and sort of spiraled
into something else.

Mm. Ain't that always the way?

Oh, that reminds me.

Do you know anything about a
dead girl named Maxine McClean?

I know the name, of
course. It's not my case.

Why? You think that's connected to this?

I don't know. I don't know.

There's something with
these sex workers and Petey,

but I don't... I don't
know what the connection is.

Yeah, I mean, hooking is not

exactly a-a hotbed for
workplace safety, right?

Yeah, right. But what I
think is that this girl,

she stole something from a john,

she traded it to Petey for dr*gs,

and-and that's what got him k*lled.

And I think whoever k*lled him
was tied into Maxine McClean

and some other missing women.

But that-that's... I don't
know. It's more of a hunch,

Huh. Well, I'll tell
you, far be it for me

to ever tell a cop to ignore a hunch.

Yours tracks, actually.

Tracks with what?

We've got a guy we like for D'Angelo.

It's a rival dealer.

Maybe we'll take a look at
him for uh, what's her name?


Ms. McClean. Yeah.

Kenneth Cammie Cameron, 37.

Domestic as*ault, resisting
arrest, possession with intent.

I mean, this guy's a real sh*t bag.

Can I see that?

Knock yourself out.

I'm going to get myself another beer,

which gives you the chance
to have a drink with me.

Uh, no, I'm good. I don't drink.

[DOLAN] Your loss.

Um, yo, you got a bathroom I could use?

[DOLAN] Yeah. Straight down the hall.

You're a Civil w*r buff?

Yeah, no. No, not really.

You got a good eye,

is the most valuable piece in here.

It's beautiful.

Come on. Come have a drink.

I'll tell you a funny
story about that piece.

Yeah. Cool, I'm just gonna
text this to my friend.

Your friend, huh?

I'm actually supposed to meet him later.

Put the f*cking phone down.
