Hightown (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Girl Power - full transcript

Jackie's new partner, Leslie, matches her ambition perfectly as their relationship deepens on and off the force; Frankie and Jorge continue moving ahead, but Charmaine, their New York connection, is a wild card.

[Jackie]
Previously on Hightown...

[Smith]
Three kids dead from OD.

Put me in, Coach.
I could ride with Babcock.

My sponsor said, "Buy a suit,

'cause you're gonna be
going to a lot of funerals."

You on some revenge trip
for your boy Junior?

That is not it.

[Ray] I don't come near Renee
so I can get my job back.

[Amanda] There's a pattern
of problematic behavior

- with women.
- Sorry it didn't go your way.

- What are you gonna do now?
- Time to spend with my kid.



- What about Kizzle?
- His mom hasn't seen him.

She says that's normal.

[Ray] Sean Gandam,
skinny white kid?

[CO] You're looking at
the hardest time there is.

We're gonna make sure
you feel every second.

[Jackie] Collin Connor,
aka Coco.

[Alan] He's a known dealer.
Drug side should be involved.

Thank you for sucking
that cop's dick.

- [Frankie] Wayne's out.
- [Jorge] We're handling it.

He got people out there.

Charmaine... you got
that fire from New Beige.

Now all the cops on the Cape
are looking for you.

What you trying to do about it?

Me and my cousin
want to be your partners.



Why do you have to go after it?

I just do.

End of the season,

some of those girls in P-Town
get lonely.

Nah, man, I chilled out

Yeah, right.

I don't know, Jack.
Nothing's biting.

[Peters]
This has been a tough week

for Eastham North High School.

We lost three of our best
and brightest.

But as always,

The Mariners will rise above.

We will heal.

But right now,
I'd like to introduce

Sergeant Alan Saintille
with Mass State Police.

Him and his department
have been working tirelessly

to combat the opioid crisis
in our community,

so please,
give him your attention.

[Alan] Thank you,
Principal Peters.

Um, thank you for having me,
and, um,

sorry for your loss.

Our loss.

Because I live here too.

Uh, I'm raising
a family here too.

And I wish that I could say
that this was the first time

I've been to one of these,
but I can't.

But you can make sure
this never happens again.

If someone tries
to sell you drugs,

you walk away.

If someone offers you to get
high with them, not interested.

It's your life.
You're in control.

If anyone has any information
about where Matt,

Anna, and Luke bought the drugs,

you talk to me or any
of my officers here today.

Any questions?

♪ ♪

So, like, do you know where
the drugs are coming from?

[Alan] I can't speak
on an ongoing investigation,

but we have a lot of leads.

[Alex] But also, like,

don't you think
if you arrest one drug dealer,

people will just get it
from somewhere else?

[Alan] Sure, yeah,

but we can make it
a little bit harder for folks.

So, like, if you don't know
where the drugs are coming from

and you can't stop people
from using them,

what do you actually do?

♪ ♪

That's...

And why is it
that when it was crack,

it was all,
"Lock the Black people up

and throw away the key?"

But now it's opioids,
and it's all,

"Poor white people.
It's an epidemic."

They're both really bad, okay?

But this new stuff
they're cutting the dope with,

carfentanyl?

It's a thousand times stronger
than fentanyl.

And fentanyl is a thousand
times stronger than heroin.

This stuff will kill you dead.

[people whispering]

Next question.

[heavy breathing]

- Harder!
- Harder?

- [Gina] Yes!
- Like that?

Faster! Oh, my God!

[moaning] Faster!

[moaning]

- Don't stop! Don't stop!
- [Ray] Okay.

[moaning]

- Stop! Stop!
- Stopping.

[moaning]

Fantastic, Abruzzo. Five stars.

If you got time after, you know,

we could, uh, get a bite to eat.

Maybe round two?

It's just,
I have to pick up my husband.

His car's in the shop. Sorry.

Oh, no, yeah,
I-I totally get that.

It's cool.

Can you, uh, come in
to work early tonight?

For what?

You left a bunch
of half-empty ketchup bottles

at the bar last night.

I need you to fill 'em up
before your shift.

Yeah, okay.

Look, I just want you

and that we can talk about shit.

Fuck talking.
Let's get back to work.

Yes.

Hey, Babcock, Quinones,
where we at?

We got some
controlled buys set up,

but first, we were gonna finish

going through the kids'
phone downloads.

So far, no texts or calls

linking them
to any known drug dealers.

Fuck.

Oh, uh, toxicology reports
came back.

Kids had MDMA and carfentanyl
in their system.

Carfentanyl's the shit
that killed Junior.

- That links it to Frankie.
- Maybe, maybe not.

Well, we should have eyes
on him.

Whoa. You been full-time
on drug side all of one week.

Now you got ideas
on how to do the job?

I don't think so.

Of course we're gonna be
watching Frankie.

But controlled buys
are how you build a case.

Start with the lower-level
drug dealers slinging the dope,

and you work your way up.

- We know who's selling it?
- [Leslie] We don't know.

We haven't been able
to find any.

Eight buys this week.
It's all shit from off Cape.

Somebody OD's
and every junkie in town

is lining up
trying to chase that fire.

Great White
should be popping off.

Maybe they got spooked.

If every cop on the Cape
was looking for me,

I'd probably disappear.

It's okay. We'll find it.

I'm gonna talk to Shauna.

Oh, super-snitch?
How's she doing?

She's good.
She just got out of detox.
