The Heat Page #9

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.

Sir, no, please.

I swear I've been doing

everything you sent

me out here to do.

We've been doing

such good work.

I know you are.

It's just...

I don't know, it's... never

easy when you are involved.

F*** that guy.

If you're not in trouble,

you're not doing your job.

Yeah.

We should go get a drink. Right?

What's the point of being a cop

if you can't get one drink

at the end of the night?

That's what I'm talking about!

I said I just want one.

Oh, no, no, here...

it is one.

Sometimes he just likes

to do this thing where...

...he pours them in three

little glasses, but it's one.

All right, here we go!

Let's loosen that up.

Okey-dokey.

There you go.

- There you go. Keep a pace.

- Okay.

Don't spit that sh*t out.

It's not free.

Let's go.

Keep that in.

Ooh.

Hey, how you doing?

I haven't heard from you.

Sh*t.

No, you haven't.

Well, did I do

something wrong, or...

Okay, here we go.

It's not you, it's me.

Uh, I'm still

working on myself.

So I can't be a part of two

until I'm a better one.

You don't have to do that.

Oh, wait.

My favorite's coming.

Oh.

You make me want to

be a better woman.

I thought we had a good time.

We did have a lot of fun.

And now we're gonna move on.

Let it go.

All right. Cool.

No hard feelings, right?

Okay, hit it.

Hit it.

Bye.

I didn't know how else to say it.

It's pretty clear.

That's why you

don't feed strays.

Can we get two more...

...shots?

Six.

We should get a

few more of these, right?

I don't know, Mullins.

It's hard.

I know we're not

supposed to say this,

but being a woman

in this field is hard.

Men are just so intimidated

by me, which is like... why?

And then you put your personality

on top of that and it is...

...it is off-putting.

You know, I was actually

married for six some years.

Was he a hearing man?

Yes.

He didn't understand how

much the job meant to me,

so I thought it'd

be best to just...

...be alone rather than

to compromise the work.

I get that.

It's kind of weird that it does

get lonely... a little bit.

It's hard to

make female friends.

I hung out, you know...

...really just with my brothers

and stuff growing up and...

...they just all turned out

to be terrible people.

So that's kind of a bummer.

Your family loves you.

I mean,

in their own unique way,

but they love you and

that's a wonderful...

Very unique.

That sounds like

it's coming from

somebody

that's an only child.

No, I was actually raised

with a lot of children.

Other children?

What, in a circus?

No, just in...

in the houses.

Oh, my God.

You're a foster kid.

Yes, I was.

Oh, my God.

No. Jesus, that clears up a lot.

Foster kid. That makes sense.

That's a tough go of it.

No, it was totally fine.

There was a lot of benefits

to being a foster kid.

Yeah?

Yeah.

On Christmases, there was

this local drugstore

that would sponsor us and give us

little baggies of toiletries and stuff.

On Thanksgiving, we would hit these

different putt putt golf courses.

You'd meet all kinds of...

Other sad kids?

No...

Oh, Jesus.

That's the saddest series

of images I've ever heard.

I don't think it affected me in

the long run at all. At all.

You're probably fine.

I can see how maybe it was, like, a

little bit, but not anything that's...

Maybe it has?

Oh, God.

Oh, God, my life!

Oh, God.

All right. Let it

out, that's it.

Good for you to start

working through it.

I don't feel well.

I don't feel well.

You're not

making me feel great.

All right...

blow it out.

Really let it go.

You've got more than that.

Oh!

Good job!

I don't feel well.

Do you want some Jger?

Two Jgers!

Let's hear it!

Whoo!

This is for you!

The chills that you spill

Up my back keep me filled

With satisfaction

when we're done

Satisfaction of what's to come

Sex walk!

Look at it!

Look at it!

Look at it.

Giving it to you!

Higher.

My name...

...is Detective Mullins.

You'd better lay your ass down.

I smell bacon.

I smell bacon.

I smell bacon.

Ooh! Ooh!

Ooh! Ooh!

Biscuits are done!

Let's do it again!

No! Stop playing this song!

Why? Because you played

it 26 f***ing times.

Hey! She's a foster kid. Yeah.

She had Q-tips and tampons

and sh*t for Christmas.

She's had a horrible,

f***ing miserable life.

Look at her!

Yeah!

All right.

Play the goddamn song.

Don't you f***ing swear at us.

Yes, you celebrate your music.

Okay.

Everybody, get up!

Come dance!

Come on!

Get up, you f***!

Get on!

Look, it's a frenzy.

We started a frenzy.

You're covered in nuts.

You've having a bad dream.

You're covered in nuts.

Let's give them a little something...

Hold still.

Spin me around

till I fell asleep

Then up the stairs

he would carry me

Girl you're every woman

in the world to me

I love this place.

Hey, to this...

to this place.

Ah.

Ah.

I don't feel it.

Keep ii UP-

Girl you're every woman

in the world to me

You're everything I need

Oh, crap.

Oh!

Hey, how long

have we been here?

Oh, crap.

Okay, focus.

You know what? Here's this.

This counts as something.

That's it.

I'm all in.

Hey, how's it going?

Jesus, you've got to get

a mint in that dumpster.

Oh, God. Was I smoking

cigarettes last night?

Yeah, you kept taking them out of

people's mouths and smoking them.

God, that's so nasty!

It was pretty gross.

Why is my jacket in the pot?

Don't worry.

I'll get it right back.

Let's see what you got.

Oh, sh*t.

That's great.

Good evening.

That's great.

There you go.

I didn't think you'd care

that much about your jacket.

You didn't care at all when

you gave away your car.

Who did I give it to? To Wayne!

Who's Wayne?

Wayne! He just

walked out of here!

You were sitting

in his lap all night.

You had your

tongue down his throat.

Oh, God! It feels like we've been hibernating!

Didn't bother you last night.

Oh, Jesus, ten missed messages.

Will you get him, please?

Wayne, Ashburn wants

her underwear back!

I do not! You cannot take that car!

It's government property.

Oh, yeah? Well, I pay taxes,

so f*** the government!

Let's not, okay?

Get out of the car,

you a**hole!

Oh, God.

Oh, my God!

Oh, sh*t! Wayne!

God, your first boyfriend.

You two were electric.

How did Julian escape?

Federal marshals transferring

him got ambushed.

We're not sure whether Larkin's

men followed the marshals

or got information

from the inside.

Isn't it obvious?

F*** you!

I know when I smell

a f***ing albino rat.

If you want to point a finger,

why don't you point it

at yourself?

If you two hadn't

brought Julian in,

Larkin would have never

known we were on to him!

And this whole case

wouldn't be the giant mixed-up

bucket of sh*t that it is now.

So f*** you and

your albino prejudice!

Now Larkin knows who you are,

and Julian's angry as sh*t.

If I were you,

I would get out of town.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Ashburn, he's right.

This isn't a choice.

No way!

You're not my boss, Puss in Boots.
