[SIRENS WAILING]

Hey, Alan, you get with motel security?
Yeah, we've got the cameras, hard drives,
the whole nine we can go home now.
Marla, tell him what you told me.
I saw a guy go in the girl's
room last night.
Oh, you did? What time was this?
- Maybe 10:00, 11:00, 12:00-ish.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, uh, how long was he in there?
I'm not sure. I didn't see him come out.
What did he look like?
White guy, kind of tall.
Tall white guy?
I mean, you know, tall-ish.
But then a few minutes later,
a big dude went in there, too.
Just let himself in.
Okay, that's good. Now, a big guy.
Like, big? Like that?
Was he white or black?
I'm not sure.
She didn't have her glasses on.
Why didn't you have your glasses on?
You ever suck dick in glasses?
No, I can't say I have.
Anyway, fat guy, tall guy
is pretty good, right?
That should be worth something.
Hey, Jim, no one leaves.
I want statements from everybody.
If they're holding,
you charge them with possession
unless they have something
interesting to say.
And, hey, not her.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Thank you.
- [MAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]
Thank you, madam. [CHUCKLES]
And they're all fucking like that.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]
[ALAN GRUNTS, CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Hey, Jackie. How you doing?
- I've been better.
- Rough night?
RAY: You met my partner, Alan Saintille.
How you doing?
RAY: Well, I'm really glad you
could come up here to Bourne,
and, uh, I'm gonna ask you
a few questions.
Okay.
Why'd you call Krista Collins
this morning?
I was calling her back, all right?
- She called me.
- RAY: Why?
'Cause I left a note
with my number on it.
So you found her?
RAY: Why didn't you tell me?
Honestly, I didn't think
you'd give a shit.
Really?
See, that was a big error in judgment.
- You should have told me.
- Why?
She might be still alive right now.
I told you Krista was in danger
a week ago.
I have been doing your job for
you this whole fucking time,
so maybe if you would have
listened to me, she'd still be alive.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
JACKIE: What,
you ever miss a fucking call?
No, you got fucking drunk,
and you dropped the ball.
I mean, hell, you're still drunk.
Hey, now. Hey, hey.
We're all on the same team
here, all right?
If it wasn't for you,
we would've never heard
of Krista Collins.
And we would've never made
the connection between her
and Sherry Henry.
ALAN: That's no small thing.
[SIGHS]
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Okay, you tell me what happened?
She was beaten to death.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Can I see her?
ALAN: That's not a good idea.

Do you know who killed her?

You know Frankie Cuevas?
Never heard of him? Big-time
drug trafficker on the Cape.
Mm-mm.
He's in Mass State Correction
right now awaiting trial,
but we think he ordered the hit.
Is he the same person who killed Sherry?
Think so, yeah.
Sent one of his associates
to do his dirty work.
Kristen, Sherry, they're just
collateral damage
- the price of doing business.
- How long is he in jail for?
RAY: He's looking at 15 years
for trafficking and distribution
but I'm gonna be honest with you.
He'll parole out in five to seven.
Unless we get him for these two murders.
Fuck, I hope he fucking dies in there,
gets asshole cancer,
and rots from the inside out.
Yeah, you and me both.

Hey
you gonna be all right?

Yeah, man, I'm just trying to figure out
what the fuck I'm supposed to do now.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Go home. Live your life.
[SCOFFS]
[LAUGHING]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Hello?
Your daughter's crying.
I'm trying to make breakfast.
What's the matter with you?
I'm such a fucking piece of shit.
Shut the fuck up.
JUNIOR: It's true.
I don't deserve you guys.
What are you talking about?
What happened?
Nothing.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Tell me the truth. Did you pick up?
JUNIOR: No.
If you're using,
you need to tell me right now.
I'm not using.

- Okay.
- [MACKAYLEIGH FUSSING]
Then you're good.
Whatever it is, you'll fix it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Need a diaper change, baby girl?
Oh, come here. Come here.
Oh!
Hey, you remember Erica Alden?
She's a real estate agent now.
I ran into her at the Stop & Shop,
and she told me about this
killer new townhouse for rent
on Shankpainter.
There's an open house tomorrow.
It's not even listed yet.
I think we should go.
- Sure.
- Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
Thanks, boo. Oh, okay.
Yeah, here, you take the baby.
[GRUNTING]
Look at Dad. Hi, hi.
[COOING]
[CRYING]
It's okay.
[CRYING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- Yeah, no, I know.
- FRANKIE JR.: Whee! Whee!
I stop it.
You're gonna bust your head.
- [HUMMING]
- [SCOFFS]
Um, no.
No, but Thursday night
is really good for me,
if you can do it.
Or else Teresa.
Okay,
pu I need you to put your shoes on
and come eat your breakfast, please.
No, Mom, I don't think
I let him watch too much TV.
- Obviously you're

Hey, hey, you okay? You okay?
Let me see. Let me see.
Okay, come here. Come on.
[SEAGULLS CRYING]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[ENGINE REVVING]
Oh, Jesus.
You okay?
[CRYING] I'm sorry.
I just didn't know where to go.
[SOBBING]
What happened?
Are you in trouble?
No, it's just
my life is so fucked.
I dr I drink one day one day,
and I fucked up everything.
[SOBS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
It's it's okay, Jack. It's okay.
[CRYING]

It's okay.

[CRYING]
Why don't you take a sick day tomorrow?
I'll do the paperwork for the BFO.
- All right?
- Okay.
Thank you.
It's okay.
And then maybe hit up one
of those meetings?
[SNIFFLING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey, man. Anything?
Yeah, two people mentioned
a dealer, Scotty.
Pumps out of the, uh, motel parking lot.
Sounds small-time, but he could
be connected to Frankie.
[CLAPS HANDS] Love it. Bring him in.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER POLICE RADIO]
RAY: Okay,
so we got O'Donnell's Auto Body
and Kathleen's house.
Hey, how do you rewind this thing?
Oh, you don't have to worry about it,
'cause I got it all logged right here.
At 10:02 p.m.,
a gold Maxima left O'Donnell's
and returned at 3:17 a.m.,
but we couldn't get eyes on the driver.
You did all this yourself?
Yes.
Huh.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey, uh, Ray.
You think you can talk to L
about my ergonomic chair?
'Cause I put in a request,
like, two months ago and
Yeah, no, I'm all over it.
Alan, look at this.
[SIGHS]
Fucking Ray.
RAY: The car left O'Donnell's at 10:02,
came back at 3:17.
Whoever's driving the gold Maxima,
who I'll bet my balls was Osito
and a tall white accomplice,
left O'Donnell's with plenty
of time to get to Bourne,
kill Krista, make it back.
We're working on getting security
footage from the bridge cam.
Hopefully confirm they went off the Cape.
Even if you get it, it's circumstantial.
Well, if the DA had signed off
on the wiretap
If I had a handsome face and a good body,
I'd be married to a Penthouse Pet,
but I don't, and I'm not.
I know you want Osito to be your guy.
So, instead of whining to me,
go put him at the fucking motel.
Yes, sir.
[EXHALES DEEPLY, GRUNTS]
Velekee, man.
You calling lieutenant an asshole?
I'm not calling lieutenant an asshole.
- You're calling lieutenant an asshole.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
Oh, shit.
I got to get take care
of something, man.
Yeah, sure.
I'll stay here and work on this homicide.
You do you.
[PLAYFUL MUSIC,
INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TABLET]

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, what happened?
Hey.
Sorry, I-I didn't know
if I should tell you. I
No, of course, of course,
of course, of course, of course.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, what happened, man?
Did you forget to keep your hands up?
I fell off the couch.
He fell off the couch?
Yeah. He's gonna be okay.
It was just a couple stitches
and said we can go home soon, so
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
There was just
there was a lot of blood, you know?
I know. I know. Hey, hey, hey.
Not your fault, okay? Stuff happens.
Luckily, they're made out of rubber.
He's just gonna bounce right back.
Yeah.
Thanks for coming.
Of course.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

What are we doing, Ray?

I don't know.
But I like it.

Me too.

NURSE: Hey, there.
Hey, so, uh, shit's hitting
the fan at work.

Let me talk to your uncle.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV]
OSITO: What up, Wayne?
I've been thinking
about that offer you made.
So you want to step out on Frankie?
Maybe.
If you can do me six fingers for two.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
I got to think about that.
I can do five, six a week easy,
if you cut me a break.
Them Cape heads be fiending.
- Yeah?

All right, then.
Six for two.

Yes, Uncle Ray got it for me.
[TENSE MUSIC]

Why don't you go sit over there

- Let me talk to your mother.
- Okay.

Uncle Ray?
You told me to keep him close.
Not close to my son.
Mm, yeah, well,
ever since you got arrested,
I'm in a shitty one-bedroom. [SCOFFS]
What the fuck do you want from me?

I want to know what he knows.
I want to know his secrets.
I want every time he comes
in your fucking mouth,
to tell you something you can use.
- Is that what's happening?
- No.
We don't even talk
about that shit anymore.
Then what the fuck do you talk about?

I don't know, Frankie. Stuff, all right?
The guy's sprung.

You're a whore.
Don't call me that.
No, you're right.
A whore would've got something from him.

You think you're special, don't you?
But he was fucking the last one, too.
What are you talking about?
Sherry Henry.
- I don't believe you.
- I don't care.
It's true.
You're not my pimp, Frankie.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I told you. I'm not a cop.
Here.

[SIGHS]
You know Frankie had two girls killed?
Jesus Christ.

You don't really believe that, do you?
You tell me.

I don't know anything about it.
And, honestly, I wouldn't
say shit if I did.
Come on, you can talk to me.
It's not gonna come back on you.

You know what?
[CHUCKLES]
Fuck Frankie.

And fuck you.
You know where he's at.
Go ask him yourself.

Leave this very concentrated.

Do I know you?
Mm-mm, no.
How'd you get on my list?
I work for the federal government.
My name is Jackie Quinones.
Ah
you're the lady that's been
asking questions about me.
The fish cop.
How do you know all that?
People like to tell me things.
Someone been talking about me?
Someone who knows my job?
A fisherman?
Why are you here?
You brought me here, Frankie.
I'm the one who found
Sherry Henry on the beach,
and I went kind of crazy after that.
I started looking into it,
found out it was you.
I mean, that wasn't a secret.
Cops knew that shit day one.
But then you had Krista Collins killed,
and I'm like, "Who is this fucking dude?
"He must have some big old balls,
killing these girls
like they're nothing."
[TENSE MUSIC]
So I wanted to see you.
And now that I'm here,
I see that you're nothing.

You're just some little punk
sitting in a cell,
sending his boys to do his dirty work.

[CHUCKLES]
You got a tough mouth.
It would look good
wrapped around my cock.

Sexual threat's kind of basic.
You keep talking,
and you're gonna find out
exactly what happened to those two girls.
Now, that's a threat.

But here's what's gonna happen
you're not gonna do shit to me
because you are not getting out of here.
Not in five, not in seven, not ever.
I will make sure of that.
You're my white whale.

You don't even know
where that's from, do you,
you ignorant fuck?
Whatever, it doesn't matter.
Here's what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna walk out of here.
I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I want.
Have a nice dinner, go on the boat,
maybe eat some pussy.
And then I'm gonna do whatever I have to
to make sure you spend
the rest of your life in here.

By the way, I don't think
Renee's gonna wait that long.

[SIGHS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Hey, Scotty.
How you feeling?
[GRUNTS] Okay.
RAY: Yeah?
You look a little green around the gills.
You're not getting dope sick
on me, are you?
No.
You'll be all right.
We got great a Suboxone program
in County.
I think you'll be fine.
What the fuck?
Why am I going to fucking County?
Well, right now we have you
for possession with intent,
but maybe you can help yourself out.
[SCOFFS]
You know Krista Collins?
Who?
LESLIE: Uh,
the girl who died in the motel.
[SIGHS]
SCOTTY: I know a lot of people.
Cut the shit, Scotty.
Talk to us, or I'm gonna
release the hounds.
The hounds?
RAY: You live with your grandmother,
right?
- Yeah.
- Talk to us,
or she's gonna lose her social
security for housing a felon.
What? No, you can't fucking do that!
Oh, I absolutely can.
Scotty, no one wants that to happen.
Just don't put us in a bad position here.
C-can I have a cranberry juice, please?
Yeah.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- LESLIE: Hey, uh, Patty,
can I get a cranberry juice?
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- That'll just be a minute.
[SIGHS]
Tell me about Krista.
[VOMITING]
[SCOTTY SPITS, COUGHING]
[GROANING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
So you were saying?
Okay, okay, fine.
S-she copped from me, and we
partied together a little bit.
When was that?
Like, three days ago.
- Then what?
- I don't know.
She said some shit when she was high.
She she she saw
her friend get capped.
She was, like, traumatized.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[SCOTTY GRUNTS, BREATHING HEAVILY]
Okay, good.
And who'd you tell?

I-I didn't tell anyone.
Someone told you about a murder
and you didn't tell anyone?

I mean, uh, I-I-I don't think so.
RAY: I'm gonna be
really specific with you.
Did you tell Osito
there was a witness
to the murder of Sherry Henry
and then tell him where
that witness was staying?

No.
- Bullshit, man!
- [CHAIR CLATTERS LOUDLY]
I'm gonna go through your cell phone,
which I'm 100% allowed to do,
and if there's one single call
to one single person
in association with Frankie Cuevas,
I'm charging you with accessory
before the fact!

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

That's it. You're done.
Okay, okay, wait.

- You still got it, Raymond.
- Never lost it, Les.

Here's what's up, man.
Krista Collins got high.
Tells that little shit Scotty
she saw her friend get killed.
He calls Osito,
who's in his contacts under O,
tells him, "Hey, you got a witness."
Shit.
Now what?

Fuck it. Bring him in.
- Osito?
- Yeah.
Think he's gonna flip?
Only one way to find out.
He's a known flight risk, man.
It's the right play.

Come on, I'm sick of jerking
off to this guy.
I want to fuck.
[CHUCKLES]
Start at Kathleen's?
[DRAWER CLOSES]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SCOFFS] The balls on you,
calling in sick your first day back.
Yeah, I had a thing. Is Ed around?
No, he went home to his old lady.
- What's up?
- I got a question.
You ever think any of
the fishermen could be dirty?
Dirty how?
Like, beyond the usual bullshit?
No, like drug trade.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
The old timers, they talk about the fleet
bringing in pot back in the day,
but there's all these fucking
weed stores now.
You don't need
a commercial fishing vessel
to bring in a couple kilos.
You going back to the office tonight?
Fuck, no. I'm three beers in.
I mean, would you go
to the office with me?
[ENGINE RUMBLING, GEAR SHIFTER CLACKS]
[ENGINES STOPS,
DISTANT LAWN MOWER WHIRRING]
Damn, Kathleen's place
is fucking charming.
- Can I help you?
- Yeah, hi.
Sergeant Ray Abruzzo.
RAY: This is Trooper Alan Saintille.
Mass State Police.
We're looking for an Emanuel Delgado.
Is he here?
No, I have no idea
who you're talking about.
[REGGAE MUSIC PLAYING]
ALAN: Whoa.
[CHUCKLES] I don't know if you know this,
but, uh, you got a perfect
stranger sitting in your house.
You guys can't just barge in
here like this without a warrant.
RAY: Oh, no,
we don't need a warrant to talk to him.
Ain't that right, Osito?
It's good to see you again.
Got a few questions for you.
You want to come down
to the station with us?
No, he does not.
You can't do that.
They cops.

They do whatever the fuck they want.

Uh, I'm so sorry.
I'm sure he'll be here any second.
Hmm. You know, I was kind of surprised
to hear you guys were still together.
How's he doing?
What do you mean?
I don't know. I just heard
he was in a bad way.
He's fine.
[LINE TRILLING]
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
[TENSE MUSIC]

[ELECTRONIC MUSIC BLARING]

You Junior?

Hmm.
Looks good.
It's gonna be 500.
You said 400.
I changed my mind.
You think you can fuck with me?
Take it or leave it.
[CLEARS THROAT]
You think I can't kick
your fucking ass, huh?
On roids and meth, probably.
Doesn't make you a man, though.
[CHOKING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[FOLDER THUDS]
[RAY GRUNTS]
Sorry I ruined date night.
Kathleen seems nice.
Easy on the eyes, too.
You surprised by that?
No.
Heard you got that good dick.
So it says here
you're born in the Dominican,
moved here as a kid.
You go back and forth a few times?
Man, the fucking Bachelor's on.
All right.
I'm just getting right down to it, then.
So we're working this case.
We're talking to a few people.
Mostly just ruling out suspects
at this stage.
Do you remember what you
were doing on August 22nd?
Nope.
There was a supermoon that night.
Does that jog your memory?
No.
You go down to Truro?
Why would I do that?
Is that a no?
You know a girl named Sherry Henry?
No.
What about a Krista Collins?
Little white girl?
Yeah.
No.
What were you doing night before last?
- Drove around some.
- With who?
- My boy.
- Your boy got a name?
Nope.
You guys go to Bourne?
I don't know the area that well.
All these wack-ass towns look
the same to me.
I think you guys went to Bourne.
[PICTURE SLIDES ON TABLE]
And this is a picture of you guys
crossing the bridge.
Picture sucks.
You can't even tell who's in it.
Yeah, but we know who's in it.
[TENSE MUSIC]
We know you guys went to Bourne.
And we know why.

Killing girls is kind of pussy,
don't you think?

And then you fucked it up again.

Someone told you Krista was
talking about you and Sherry Henry.
And we got a witness that puts you
in Krista Collins' room around midnight.
So there's motive and opportunity.

And you think this fucking kid
ain't gonna flip on you?

This is your chance,
'cause it's either you or him.

I'll help you out.
I'll talk to the DA for you,
because I know you didn't
do this on your own.
Frankie commissioned both hits.

Come on, Osito.
Talk to me. Let's make a deal.

[POUNDS TABLE]
What are you, fucking deaf?
Hey, I'm fucking talking to you.

You're gonna stand tall for Frankie,
you're gonna spend the rest
of your fucking life
in this cold-ass state
and fucking die in prison.
But if you talk to me,
you can go back to the DR
and see your family again.
Now, the choice is yours.

Ticktock, motherfucker.

[SIGHS]
Okay.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
Tell you the real true.

You know that girl Kathleen?
She's way out of my league.
You know it, I know it,
but that's bae.
I fucking love that girl.
Only thing about Kathleen is
she not that smart.
I mean, for real. She gets
lost going to the Stop & Shop.
But that's okay, though.
She might not know much.
She might be half a dummy,
but she knows enough to call my lawyer
if I ever get pinched.

So

I'm not talking till he gets here, Ray.
[PICTURE SLIDES ACROSS TABLE]

What the fuck was that?
RAY: I got him.
You got shit.
You got played.
Lie is just as good as the truth.
He didn't even lie to you.
He lawyered up.
No, no, no,
he said he was never in Truro.
- Come on.
- We place him there.
How?
You get the DA to set up a drug wire,
we tickle the wire long enough,
draw out the accomplice,
catch him in the lie.
We got him. We fucking got him.
Don't bullshit a bullshitter.
You know and I know you didn't get shit.
Nice try, though.
[SCOFFS]
This motherfucker right here.
Looks like we need to find
ourselves a white boy and flip him.
[BELL CLANGING IN THE DISTANCE]
- JACKIE: Is that it?
- STARK: Yes.
Oh, no, no, it's the log
for the whole month of August.
Okay, just just do that Thursday.
- I'm trying.
- Let me do it.
No, no.
Database is only for senior agents.
Wait, you're giving me the info anyway.
Plausible deniability
I don't know what happens
to a printout I leave on my desk.
Oh, my God.
[MOUSE CLICKING]
JACKIE: I just need the boats that
went out the night of the supermoon.
That's what I'm doing.
[KEYS CLACKING]
[BEEPS, WHIRRING]
Oh, fuck.
What do you want?
It's a government website.
So
can we discuss the terms
and conditions of this favor?
I'll buy you dinner.
You buy me dinner, and you
let me sleep over again.
I'm downgrading my offer to a drink.
Okay, fine, you buy me dinner,
no sleepover.
One drink, and I don't tell
anybody that your junk
looks like an oyster on the half shell.
Okay, fine. One drink.
Let's go now while this thing loads.
I meant I'd buy you a drink sometime.
Jesus fucking Christ.
You remind me of my ex-wife.
You know that?
[SCOFFS]
- [BEEPS]
- STARK: Yes!
Victory in our time.
[KEY CLACKS]
[PRINTER WHIRRING]
STARK: Here we are Thursday,
August 22nd.
Looks like 40-something fishing boats
went out across the Cape, three at night.
- Any of them come back?
- One.
Went from P-Town to Truro and back.
Let me see.
[TENSE MUSIC]
- Time in
- [MOUSE CLICKS]

[SNAPS FINGERS] You ready?
