The Heat Page #8

Synopsis: Sarah Ashburn, an FBI agent, is extremely ambitious and has her eye on a promotion, but she doesn't get along with her co-workers. She is sent to Boston to uncover the identity of an elusive drug lord, Mr. Larkin, by tracking down his proxy, Rojas, and is told that she'll have a good shot at the promotion if she finds Larkin. When she arrives in Boston, she learns that Larkin has been eliminating his competition and taking over their operations. She learns that Rojas is in Boston PD custody and goes to see him to ask him what he knows about Larkin, but is warned that the cop who arrested Rojas, Shannon Mullins, is very territorial, and she is not exactly sociable. When the two meet they don't get along. When Mullins learns why Ashburn is in Boston, she decides to find Larkin herself. Ashburn is told by her boss to work with Mullins, but it won't be easy because Ashburn does things by the book while Mullins does things her way.

That would have been funny.

Well, I feel that they were just

trying to be tongue in cheek.

God, don't do that.

Where are his belongings?

Any clues as to where

the body was killed?

We're still looking

for their base camp.

Well, if there's

anything on him

that will tell us,

I will find it.

Huh.

Is that coke?

I don't think so.

It's more like a coating.

Same traces found

on all the victims' shoes.

All of them had...

Epoxy powder coating.

Right?

That's right.

Each sample was made of the same ingredient.

Which means...

They were all

killed same place.

Exactly.

I checked it out Wow.

There are three places that

have this kind of powder.

Paint factory!

Yeah.

We all know that.

Well, it's...

Look at this.

This one right here is

centered in the location...

Where all four dead

bodies were found!

Right.

That's what I thought.

This one shut down years ago,

owned by a man by

the name of Lief Sa...

Sambertineson?

Sagglemint?

Samber...?

Old Sagglemint.

Santino.

Oh, Santino!

Santino... Sanfino.

Is that a derivative

of Sagglemint?

Get me the address

to that paint factory ASAP.

Excuse me, Ashburn? Um...

I was wondering...

Oh. This

is a little awkward.

Uh, it's nothing personal, but

as a rule I make it a point...

...not to date my

co-workers, so... thank you.

I was wondering if you would

not talk to me in that tone.

Oh! Yes, of course!

That's a little different.

I wouldn't.

Why would I?

Why would you? Really.

We should go to

the paint factory.

Are we clear here? Because

it got real awkward.

No... I think we're all good.

Right?

We're really good.

Same page.

Because I don't want any bad...

We're all good.

Here we go.

Let's go to the paint factory.

She doesn't want to date

co-workers, so spread the word.

Shut up.

Caught my man cheating Now I'm

rolling through the west side

'Bout to burn this f***ing

house down like I'm Left Eye

Rest in peace

Like I'm Left Eye Rest in peace

Like I'm Left Eye

'Bout to burn this motherf***er

down like I'm Left Eye

Heard my man is cheating with

another b*tch at my house

What is that sh*t?

Stop it.

Just cover

me and go right.

Well, then say that.

You make me want to shoot you.

I don't know what your

problem is, but we told you...

stay out of the city.

I don't know what it is. Are you deaf?

Do you not speak English?

I got to do something

with you, man.

Look, Jullian...

I'm sorry.

I'll sell for you guys.

Whatever you want me to do.

I'm just trying to

make some extra money.

You can't blame

me for that, right?

Relax.

I totally get it.

Thank you. I'm not

gonna shoot you.

Okay. It's cool, man. Thanks.

He is.

Wait! Hold on!

Sh*t!

If we grab Julian,

I can get into his head.

We'll have Larkin by tonight.

Two against two.

I like those odds.

I'll call for backup.

It's already here.

Oh, hey!

I was looking for you. Um, I

forgot to get your number.

Cool. It's, uh,

1-800-Give Me Your F***ing Guns.

That's, uh...

too many numbers.

I met these disasters at

the club the other night.

Now they're both here.

You think you

might have been bugged?

Give me a break.

What the f***?

Think you're hot sh*t?

Guess what.

You guys look even

older in this lighting!

Come on.

F*** you.

F*** you! It's not f*** me.

It's f*** you.

You know why? Because I'm

about to f*** you up.

Pick it up.

Do it. Give me a reason

to shoot you in the face.

How long will this take?

Maybe 12 hours, hopefully less.

I have to find out

what drives him.

We could just beat him

with a phonebook.

No! For so many

reasons, no.

You just need to be

patient, all right?

It is crucial that

you remain patient.

It's also crucial that you stop

wearing this stupid barrette.

Don't! Just leave it.

Why? You have one on your head.

Yeah, on top of my head,

like a normal person.

What is the difference?

Just move on.

If you enter that room, you could

break the bond we have created.

Okay? Just please, please

trust me on this one.

Do you understand

how important this is?

Yeah, I do.

And you will be patient?

I will.

Okay. All right.

Hello.

Coffee?

I drink a little more coffee

than I probably should.

Where's Larkin?

You couldn't wait ten seconds?

What's so funny?

You... thinking you're

going to make me talk.

You're talking

right now, dumb-ass!

You look like one of

the Campbell's soup kids

who grew up and

became an alcoholic.

Oh, surprisingly catty.

You're a f***ing genius.

I asked

you to stay outside!

I need to

go tough on him.

Are you not already doing that?

No! I'm doing

good cop, bad cop.

You know, I can hear you.

Shut up!

Just please,

don't do anything crazy.

I won't do anything crazy.

What am I gonna do that's crazy?

I'm a police officer. Huh?

Am I gonna

shoot you in the dick?

You said nothing crazy,

and that is a no-no!

No-no!

Turn around. I need you

to pass a polygraph.

Put it away!

Turn around!

Don't worry, she won't do it.

She won't do anything.

So you want to gamble with your

scrotum and your testicles?

Okay, gamble away!

Just go to the corner!

I'm in it!

I'll tell you what we're gonna do...

play a little game.

I'm gonna take

out these bullets.

Except this one. Because

this is my favorite.

I'm gonna keep that in there.

And then you're gonna

tell me where Larkin is.

And you're gonna

tell me when and where

that shipment is coming in.

Okay?

Right now.

I'm gonna kill you

and everyone you know.

That's not what I asked.

Straight arrow,

take the gun from her!

Now you want me to

save your scrotum?

When is the shipment coming in?

I don't know.

Ah!

All right! There's a

shipment on Wednesday!

Where?

I don't know!

I swear

to God, I don't know!

Tell her! Just tell

her where it is!

Don't shoot me in the dick!

I don't know! It's gonna be Wednesday!

That's four shots!

Don't take any more shots!

Just tell her

where it's coming in!

I don't know! Don't

shoot me in the dick!

Enough! Stop it!

You brought

Julian and LeSoire in?

You out of your minds?

Wasn't too smart.

Oh. So you're not supposed

to arrest someone

when they commit murder

and try and kill you?

You wanted us to

keep them on the street?

You shouldn't

even have been there!

Larkin is the big catch,

not those two!

Now we're never

gonna be able to...

Craig! Calm down!

We can all hear you.

Yeah, dogs can hear you.

Of course dogs can hear me!

Are you okay? Because

you look really pale.

It's a genetic condition!

Ashburn, come here.

F***ing snow cone.

Oh, I get it! That's a good

one because I'm really white!

Can I have a moment

with my agent, please?

I'm good.

All right. I'm gonna

be right over there.

Right there.

Thank you.

Why didn't you alert anyone

once you found evidence

of Julian's whereabouts?

It was an unconfirmed lead.

I wasn't gonna waste anyone's

time until I knew it was real.

Give it a rest. I want

you to stand down...

...while I figure out how to

repair all this sh*t with the DEA.
