Is the clerk going
to be okay, Luther?
.
He's beat up
pretty bad, Rose
Did he resist?
No sign of it.
(SIGHING)
We need more people.
Have you seen him?
No.
You?
No.
He's not a guy who should
spend a lot of time alone.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
You look terrible.
Thank you.
Are you expecting
someone else?
Old habit.
I was on my way
home from work,

thought I'd stop by,
see how you're doing
So, how are you doing?
Actually,
I'm enjoying myself.

HEALY: Okay.
?
You want a drink
Oh, I can't. Not yet.
You want another one?
Not yet.
You're supposed to be
on medical leave.
Actually, I am
on medical leave.
I'm just taking it
at the office.
You got a murder.
No, I got two murders.
n?
Think there's a patter
I think it might be time to
hire a temporary consultant.
What's wrong
with your people?
Nothing. They're young.
They're ambitious.
They all have
multiple degrees.
In 10 years' time,
they'll develop
some instincts.
I won't have them
that long.

They're working
on their resumes
I'm on vacation.

You're on suspension
Same thing.
I need your intuition.
You got anything
better to do?

Hello, Jen
How'd you know it was me?
n.
Coply intuitio
Am I calling too late?
It's 5:00 in LA, Jenn.
I need to talk.
Okay.
I'm confused. I still
care about you, Jesse.
You're still living
with Elliot, aren't you?
Yes.
Doesn't sound
confused to me.
You drinking?
Somewhat.
Talk to me, Jesse.
I talk to you
all the time, Jenn.
You had a fight.
Yes.
And Elliot walked
out again.
Yes.
And you still
care about me.
Yes.
I don't think
we should talk.
You don't think we
should talk tonight?
I don't think we
should talk at all.
For how long?
As long as it takes.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

What are you looking at?
(SIGHS)
(PHONE RINGING)

I called you
When?
Lots. Your phone's
out of order.
Oh, my God. You're not
supposed to talk to me.
This is my tim
So, how's our acting
police chief?
He's fine.
I didn't ask you
how he was feeling,
I asked you how he was doing.
He's fine.
What do you think?
Well, if they'd given me
the job, I'd be way over
my head.
So?
He's way over his head.
Well, he's got
a good attitude.
And one course
in Criminal Investigation,
which is one more than I have.
I'm surprised what's-his-name
didn't hire his son-in-law.
It's Carter Hanson.
And I'm surprised, too.
So what about this
convenience store robbery?
What about it?
You sound like me.
Final Stop clerk's in a coma
Luther's hoping a clue
will pop up.
It doesn't always
happen that way, Rose.
I know tha
You need to be in
the field with him.
We wouldn't have anyone
to answer the phones.
Hire a temp.
The Town Council
won't let us.
You know,
I've got some juice
with the phone company.
We could get them
out here.
Don't.
I need help.
Is there something
you wanna talk
to me about, Jesse?
Yes.
I bought a cell
phone this morning
and I don't know
how to program it.
I thought you
didn't like them
I don't.
Well, I'll help you
if you'll give me
the number.
I can't give you
the number.
Why can't you
give me the number?
Because I don't like
receiving phone calls.
Then why did you
get a cell phone
(SIGHS)
Do you like me, Jesse?
Yes
Do you like
talking to me, Jesse
Yes.
I don't want anyone else
to know the number.
First victim was
a 23-year-old male.
Seventh floor of
a parking garage.
One shot to the head
behind the ear.
Yeah.
No shell casing,
so probably used
a revolver.
No sign of a struggle,
so either he knew the killer
or he didn't see it coming.
Or both.
Parked up top,
so he came during
rush hour. Stayed late.
When he went to his car,
the seventh floor
was pretty deserted.
You know all of this,
what do you need me fo
I told you.
My coply intuition.
Nobody even heard
the shot. Street noise.
It's a happening
part of town.
Surveillance camer
One in the stairwell.
Young guy.
Looked pretty fit.
What time did he
exit the stairwell?
Five after 10:00.
What else did you
see on the tape?
Well, nobody for about
a half hour before and then,
three quarters of an hour
later, the woman
who found the body.
JESSE: Well, the shooter
was either waiting for him
or he just drove around
until he found a nice
quiet spot for a killing.
Mob-related?
Which seems like
a reasonable assumption.
Kid was a wannabe.
Freelanced mostly.
Who'd he work for?
Bixy Chappelle.
The late Leo Finn.
Presently, Gino Fish.
Nothing serious.
Mostly he just
went for coffee.
However, the mob theory
is no longer operative.
Because?
Second victim,
a 38-year-old black female.
Mother of three.
Nice.
Same MO. Parking garage.
One shot behind the ear.
The press doesn't
know this stuff.
Not hardly.
There's going to be more.
Do I get a car?
Jesse, I thought you knew
how to get a car by now.
You know, when I was
in the hospital,
somebody signed a car
out of the motor pool
under my name.
You wouldn't know
anything about that,
would you?
About what?
Temporary consultants
don't get cars.
Jesse, you find anything,
you give it to me.
You're not deputized,
you're a consultant.
Temporary consultant
I don't want
anyone else
to have it.
DIX: Same gun?
Same caliber.
When will we know
if it's a match?
Why couldn't
I bring Reggie?
I wanted to talk
to you about him.
You want to talk
to me about a dog?
I thought
it would be awkwar
He's a dog.
Awkward for you.
You never show your
dog any affection.
He's not my do
Looks like your dog.
He witnessed
his owner's murder.
He's just staying
with me till I can
find him a new hom
How long has
he been there?
Three and a half years.
Well, he never
seems to want any.
Besides, he's
a pain in the ass.
I'll pour a Scotch
and I can just feel hi
So I look
and he's staring at me,
like he's my conscience.
Then I find myself talking
to him.
What do you say?
The kind of thing
you'd say to a roommat
a guy, like, "What are
you looking at?" It's.
You had a dog
before, Jesse.
Boomer.
And where did
Boomer sleep?
On my bed.
Where does Reggie sleep?
On his dog bed
What happened to Boomer?
He died.
Do you care about Reggie?
Yes, I do.
Don't say it.
Say what?
My wife left me
and my dog died
about the same tim
And I have a fear of loss.
I didn't say it.
What did Healy
really want?
I already told you.
What did he say
when he came to
your house?
He said that he wanted
to see how I was doing.
That's a load of crap.
He's got a serial
killer on his hands.
He's also got
a temporary colostomy
and a lot of rehab.
He shouldn't be workin
Cop gets shot,
he's entitled
to some time off.
You think there's
a definite pattern?
(SIGHING) Well,
we talk every day.
You and Healy?
No. Not me and Healy
I'm paying you 180
bucks an hour, right
Correct.
Well, I was wonderin
when we could get back
to the reason I called.
Your wife.
Ex-wife. I'm not
talking to Jenn anymor
You're not talking
to Jenn anymore today.
I'm not talking to
Jenn anymore, period
Did you talk to
Jenn last night?
Yes.
But you're not
talking to her anymore.
That's correct.
What if she calls you?
She can't.
You mean she won't?
No, I mean she can't
Why not?
I had a seminal moment.
Don't turn around.
Nobody's watching.
They could be.
Small town. I'm not
allowed to talk to you.
Maybe we just bumped
into each other, small tow
I'm still not
supposed to talk to yo
For the record,
I called you, Suit.
Your phone's out of order.
How do you know
my phone's out of order?
The information's out
there. All you have to
do is let it in.
You didn't come here
to give me donuts, Lou.
I'm Jesse.
Of course you are.
So, how you doing, Chief?
I'm not the Chief.
Sure you are.
I'm the Temp Chief.
Do you introduce
yourself as "Temp Chief"?
No.
Well, there you go.
So how you doing with this
convenience store thing?
I can't tell you
Paradise is close
to the main highway,
access both in and out.
I know that.
Easy mark for a pro.
I got a feeling
it's a non-pro.
You got a feeling.
Could have been a local
with a drug problem.
Could have been.
Either way,
those kind of robberies
are almost impossible
to prevent and just as
impossible to solve.
I know that.
The clerk died.
You need more people.
The Town Council
won't let me
hire anyone else
Because?
My sense is
they're planning on
bringing you back.
I don't think so.
Something will pop up.
It doesn't always
happen that way, Suit.
Just in case.
That's just between
you and me.
(PHONE RINGING)
Paradise Police Department,
Officer Gammon.
Is this thing working?
Yes, Jesse.
I can hear you perfectly
Rose, did you get
the computer-enhanced
pictures of the robbery?
Oh! Yes, I did.
Who called?
My mom.
Afternoon, Chief Stone.
Afternoon, Elizabeth
(CAR ENGINE REVVING)
You're on the wrong
side of the street.
Well, you're not on duty,
are you, Jesse?
No, I'm not, Cissy.
Where you headed?
Home.
Hop in.
I'm going that way.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(WHISPERING)
Did you see that?
I forgot something.
You won't mind waiting?
It's hot in here.
It is.
How's your place, Jesse?
Remote.
I'm sorry. We did
have financial issues.
Remote's good.
I don't have
your cell number
I don't have one.
Sit down, Jesse.
This might take a whil
I was wondering
if you'd considered
my offer.
And what offer
would that be?
We were dancing.
You said you liked
my dress.
I said I wasn't
wearing any underwear,
and then I suggested
we have some nice,
uncomplicated sex
with nothing at stake.
And what did I say?
I think you said, "Wow,"
at which point
your girlfriend cut in
What was her name?
Abby. That was
a long time ago, Cissy.
I didn't ask when.
I asked if you'd
considered it.
Often.
The offer stands.
Sounds like a contract.
We run into each other,
it's never spoken of,
but it's there, you know
Are you wearing
any underwear now?
What do you think?
I wasn't sure.
I can't.
I know you want me.
Of course I want you.
I'm not dead.
You're involved
with a friend of mine.
Hasty and I are divorced,
as you well know.
"Convict's wife"
was not something
that fit well on my resume.
I'm talking about Suitcase.
Suitcase?
Luther.
Luther and I are
just good friends.
He's interested
in my business.
I'm sure he is.
What'd you forget?
Excuse me?
You said you forgot something.
What'd you forget?
I forget.
(SIGHS)
I think I'll walk home.
Jesse.
It's there if you want it.
Wow.
JESSE: So I was
going through my...
ROSE: Options.
Yeah. And the phone shut off
So I tried to
turn it back on,
it said to enter
my unlock code
So I entered my unlock
code and it shut off.
What's your unlock code?
"Reggie."
"Reggie" is your password.
Same thing.
It's not the same thing.
Your unlock code
is a four-digit number.
It's your address.
Oh.
That's why you didn't
get my messages.
What messages?
I left you four messages.
You turn it on, it tells you.
Yeah, but I can't
turn it on.
So he wouldn't
talk to you?
He said he couldn't.
And why can't you
hire anyone else?
Luther says it's
cause they're going
to reinstate you.
Well, they're not.
He says he had a feeling.
He gets a lot of those.
Feelings aren't
enough, Rose.
I know that.
What's wrong?
Did you call Healy?
I did.
Did you ask him
to hire me?
Don't do that, Jesse.
It doesn't become you.
Does Suit confide in you?
More and more.
Well, you need
to help him.
I don't know how.
I do, but you're not
supposed to talk to me.
I don't care about that.
You're not supposed
to talk to me.
I don't care about that.
Call me?
Or call me.
HASTY: There's no way
to repair it.
(SIGHS) Looks pretty
good to me, Hasty.
I'm talking about your Scout
The boys can't fix it.
Can't find parts.
I mean, how long did you hav
that thing up on blocks?
Couple of years.
(LAUGHING) Well,
it's hopeless.
You're living on
the Atlantic Ocean,
Jesse. Rust.
Well, I didn't think
about it. LA is a desert.
Course the insurance compan
doesn't know it's hopeless.
Maybe we could arrange
a little accident.
You know,
your Scout could
have caught fire.
You fought
through the flames.
That would be
illegal, Hasty.
You're not
my parole officer.
I'm not insured.
Oh.
Well, this thing is
way beyond your means.
I was admiring.
Ah.
I think I've got maybe
just the thing for you.
Follow me.
I see you found
your bow tie.
Yeah, Cissy boxed
everything up the first
day I was in prison.
The day I got out,
there was an envelope
waiting for me
with a storage room
key in it.
What'd she say?
Oh, no, no.
There was no note.
Sweet.
She won't return my calls.
Could you turn
that thing off?
Oh. This is it.
Jesse, have you seen Cissy?
No.
You don't think
that I still think...
Cause I don't think...
What do you think?
About Cissy?
(SIGHS) About the car.
Can't afford it.
Oh, Jesse, you know
I'm very fond of you.
Hasty,
every time you say that,
something bad happens.
Can I test drive it?
Sure. Take it around
the block for a spin.
Actually, I was hoping
I could test drive it
for about a week.
He shouldn't be that hard
to find an owner for.
You just never try.
That's not true.
You never wanted to.
It's understandable.
You know, you got a divorce.
You had to put your dog down.
Isn't that right around
the time your girlfriend
was murdered?
Yes.
Existential despair.
That sounds awful.
Numbness of the heart.
I'm a psych major.
You were a psych major.
Don't you think
it's time you went back
and finished school?
(GRUNTS) That's a big step.
Not really, Emily.
Have you talked
to your parents
since they moved away?
No.
Numbness of the heart.
The clerk
at the Final Stop died.
Luther gave me a picture
of the robber, but it
doesn't do much good.
You know,
you can't see his face.
I want you to be careful.
He says we're
an easy target.
Convenience stores are.
You looking out
for me, Jesse?
I like you.
I was hoping you could feed
Reggie if I'm in Boston.
Why didn't you say so?
I just did.
What are you doing
in Boston?
I can't tell you.
Why can't you tell me?
I don't know.
Old habit.
New number.
I don't want anyone
else to have it.
(SIGHING)
I'm sorry,
I don't know what
else I can tell you
I understand,
I just thought that after
you've had this time,
if you can think of
any argument or any grudge
she may have had
with someone?
My wife had no enemies.
If you can
think of anything,
anything at all,
even if it doesn't
seem important,
you have my number,
Mr. Jackson.
I don't know what
to say to my kids.
JESSE: Mother of three.
The press is outside
waiting for him.
Detritus.
After they're done
sticking cameras
in his face,
he's just debris.
Nobody ever sees that.
We do.
So what do you think?
I think we need to get
this son of a bitch.
Ballistics are back.
Same gun.
Your people come
up with anything?
Not hardly.
I don't know
where to go.
I do. You're supposed
to be at rehab.
Oh!
That's not what I meant.
If you've got nowhere to g
go back to the beginning.
(CRACKLING)
JESSE: Hello, Alan.
It's flattering
you remember my name.
Where's your hat?
My hat is home.
I called. I spoke to...
You spoke to me.
That was you?
That was me.
You don't sound
like you on the phone.
Mr. Fish is in.
You're not going to give
me a hard time, Alan?
You called,
asked if you could see him,
I said I'd find out.
That's the way
we do things.
(DOOR BUZZES)
So, Mr. Fish is in,
he's having lunch.
You're not going
to join him?
I already had lunch.
(DISHES CLANGING)
Jesse Stone.
Clearly you're not here
in an official capacity.
Because I'm not
wearing my hat?
Cause you've
been suspended.
Without pay, I believe.
I read the papers.
I keep up on things.
Mmm...
Please.
Actually, I am here
in an official capacity.
How so?
I'm doing odd jobs
for the State
Homicide Commander.
You're a handyman?
Sort of.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't offer
you anything.
Scotch?
Coffee.
Steven, Chief Stone
will have some coffee.
You know it's not
good for your nerves.
Now, as much as I enjoy
your usual banter,
you do have a reason
for being here, no?
You said you read
the papers.
This would be
about the killings.
It would.
Hey, I'm just
a boxing promoter.
How long did the first
victim work for you?
John Kelly.
I know of no such person.
I'm told he was
a business associate...
I know of no such person.
Well, let's just
assume you did.
I don't.
It was nice seeing
you again, Jesse Stone.
Thought you
already had lunch.
I have an enormous appetite.
Did you have a nice visit?
Did you know John Kelly?
Why do you ask?
He did some work for Gino.
What exactly did
my boss say?
He said,
"I know of no such person."
He said it twice.
I know of no such person.
So what do you
know about Cissy
and your deputy?
What deputy is that?
I'm not talking
about Rose Gammon.
And what would I know
about our Temp Chief
and Cissy?
I know you know.
Hasty, you're divorced.
I'm still in love
with her, Jesse.
I think she still loves me.
I don't think so.
How would you know?
Hasty, I got to get going.
All right. All right.
Just sign these.
Wherever it says.
There, there.
Initials, everything.
I'm just testing it.
Yeah. For a week.
I need for you to
be insured.
Besides, the car fits you.
You drive it
around for a week,
you're not gonna be
able to part with it.
So you think.
So I know.
Don't worry,
I'm going to finance it.
Hasty.
You go to prison,
you pay a huge fine
and Cissy gets the rest.
I wanted her to have that.
Yeah, I know.
So who's staking you
in your new enterprise?
Don't ask.
Then I don't want to know.
So your hearing
is coming up?
It is.
And you're going to
piss off the Town Council?
Just some of them.
It's not very smart.
I didn't say
it was smart.
Old habit.
Actually,
I'm going to be contrite.
I am working on the new me.
Because?
I need this job.
You should know,
you hired me.
Town Council's
going to clean house.
How do you know.
Used to be their boss.
And you made enemies.
I'm good at that.
Coffee?
Sure, Lorraine. Thanks.
No, thanks.
Thank you.
LORRAINE: You're welcome.
Listen, they are
gonna let everybody go.
Any particular reason?
A statement was made
that they've been
infected by you.
Carter Hanson's
gonna lead the charge.
I would expect
no less of him.
And they're gonna use
the convenience store
robbery as an excuse
and that's why
they're not letting them
hire more people to help.
They don't want
them to solve it.
Carter Hanson doesn't
want them to solve it.
(SIGHS)
You got a problem
with Suitcase.
Why do you care?
It's just not right.
I'm very fond of you, Jesse.
How you feeling?
Better.
Chief Stone.
Jesse.
He didn't need to
hit me, Jesse, he...
Liked it?
He seemed amped up.
Meth head.
Why'd he stop?
Some guy came by the door,
saw me getting beaten up
and he walked away.
Nice.
Gum change the taste
of the Scotch?
It would if I let it.
You chew the gum first,
it's going to
change the taste.
It's two separate deals
Meaning?
Meaning I bought the gum
and I bought the Scotch.
Doesn't mean
they go together.
Well, no, they don't.
Gives the Scotch
ya kind of metallic taste.
Do you have
the surveillance tape
of the robbery?
Not anymore.
You record over it?
Heartford police chief has it.
When was the last time
you changed tapes
before the robbery?
Mmm... Couple
of hours before.
Could I have that one?
You chew the gum
after the Scotch,
it's the same thing, metallic.
I'll get the tape.
Rose, where'd you put
the surveillance
tape of the robbery?
I want to work on it tonight.
I left it at home.
I'm sorry, Luther.
Can you bring it
in the morning?
I will.
You think I'm
qualified for this?
Of course you are.
Have you talked to him?
I'm not allowed to.
How is he?
He's pretty beat up
about the suspension.
He seems freighted down.
Self-doubt.
You think I want
Jesse's job? We can't
stake out every target.
And we can't talk to him.
No, we can't.
If I'm not up to this,
you can tell me.
You're up to it, Luther.
I'll bring the tape
in the morning.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
You were expecting
someone else?
Everybody says that.
Where have you been?
I called you.
I've been right here.
Is your cell phone on?
Yes.
You want a drink?
How many is that?
That was direct.
This is two.
Well, then I'll have one.
You okay?
I'm fine.
What have you got?
Scotch.
Got any soda?
Just Scotch.
Scotch. Neat.
You're in a dead zone.
Thank you.
No, you have no service.
You're in a dead zone.
Well, that's fine with me.
JESSE: Paradise
surveillance tape.
How did you know?
Know what?
That Luther wanted that?
I didn't.
Well, he does.
Well, I think you
should give it to him.
The Heartford Liquor Store
just before the robbery.
What am I looking for?
I'm not going to tell you,
I just got a feeling.
(SIGHING) "Feelings
aren't enough, Rose."
Tell me about it.
So now I should tell him
I've got a feeling?
No, you should tell him
you have a theory.
I'm getting a divorce.
Can't make it work?
I won't make it work.
Not anymore.
Jim... He's...
A drunk?
Small town.
I don't know how
to tell my boys.
They might already
have it figured out, Rose.
I'll make some coffee.
Good night, Dad.
Good night, honey.

Three kids, all notified.
no casings, no witnesses.

She was...
She was devastated.
Just sitting there.
(CAMERAS CLICKING)
(INAUDIBLE)
Turn around,
you son of a bitch.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
JESSE: So, why did you lie?
I never lie.
Okay, why did you leave
the wrong impression?
Jesse Stone,
we never talk about
what we're talking about.
And besides, your impressi
of our conversation
is your responsibility.
This isn't going
very well, is it?
Why wouldn't you admit
he worked for you,
just among friends?
Just among friends,
I did employ him.
His name was John Kelly.
I know that.
And for what purpose
did you employ Mr. Kelly?
To get coffee.
When's the last
time you saw him?
Two days before
he was killed.
He was the first.
How do you know
there was more than one?
Jesse Stone,
that's not worthy of you.
I read the papers.
Newspapers didn't say
the three were connected.
Please.
Do you think
there'll be more,
just among friends?
I do.
Hmm...
You saw him two days
before he was murdered.
I did.
I'm sure my secretary can
confirm the time frame.
He's not here.
Grocery shopping.
(CHATTERING)
Sister Mary John.
Jesse Stone.
SISTER MARY:
Gino's not on my list.
What list is that?
It's kind of a micro list
of pimps and various other
abusers of my girls.
The micro guys get
most of my attention.
Is there a macro list?
Oh, yeah.
But that one's
not really up to me.
Suffice it to say
that on his passing,
Gino Fish will be
going straight to hell.
(SIGHING)
What's Gino's deal
with his secretary?
Alan has lasted
much longer than most.
He thinks nobody knows,
or at least won't
say it out loud.
The vanity of
a powerful man.
Actually, Alan's
on the outs.
I'm repeating gossip.
That's not in my
job description.
Can I ask you something?
Jesse.
Can I ask you
something, Jesse?
Is it a hard question?
I don't think so.
Is Gino Fish why
we're having dinner?
I don't think so.
Why did you
ask me to dinner?
That might be
a shrink question.
I'm not a shrink.
I'm a nun.
I know that.
Can I tell you something?
You can.
I don't know what to do
at dinner with a nun.
I thought I did,
but I don't.
You eat.
Nuns need to eat, Jesse.
Hmm.
See, I didn't have
a problem when there
was nothing at stake.
Not that there's
anything at stake now.
Do nuns drink wine?
They can.
(DOOR OPENING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
If you're not
the cleaning lady,
I want to know who you are.
You sound like me.
I saw the light on.
You shouldn't be here, Lou.
No one saw me.
Pull the blinds,
if you want.
How were things
in Boston, Jesse?
How did you know?
The information's out there.
All you have to do
is let it in.
You working
on the robberies?
You got anything?
Nothing.
You can't make the evidence
fit your intuition, Suit.
The evidence speaks
for itself,
you have to listen to it.
You told me that your
first day on the job.
My hearing's going
to be a formality.
After I'm gone,
they're gonna let
you and Rose go.
There is concern
that some of me
has rubbed off on you.
It has.
You need to solve
these robberies.
If he doesn't come back,
I don't think
that's gonna happen.
If he does come back,
Rose and I can't be
everywhere.
I want to help.
You can't.
I need to help, Suitcase.
You can't, I won't let you.
(SIGHING)
It is what it is, Jesse.
(DOOR CLOSING)
Good morning, Rose.
Hey, Luther,
take a look at these.
This was taken at
the Paradise Final Stop
and this was taken at
the Heartford robbery.
SUITCASE: What's
the time frame?
This was taken about
and this about two hours
before the Heartford robbery.
Where did you get
this Heartford picture?
I went there.
That's good
police work, Rose.
What's it tell us?
That he was at
both crime scenes
buying cigarettes.
He could have been
casing a target
for the robber.
Could be a coincidence.
Cops don't
like coincidence.
Heartford's like Paradise,
close to the main highway
with easy access in and out.
Somebody commuting
to Boston
could decide to stop
at either one
on any given day.
If we could
just talk to him.
How do we find
a bald guy who smokes?
JESSE: You ever
seen that guy?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Is this about
the robberies?
It could be.
Who is he?
Just a guy.
If you see him,
I want you to
call me right away.
He'll buy
non-filter cigarettes.
How do you know?
I just know.
You're not smoking?
Not anymore.
Do you own a gun?
Should I?
If you know
how to use one.
(SIGHS)
Cops aren't supposed to
say that kind of thing.
I'm not a cop,
I'm a consultant.
You're always looking
out for me, Jesse.
If you see him, call me.
If there's no answer,
leave a message.
You closed?
It's 6:00.
I was hoping to
get in a workout.
You box?
No, I fight.
What's the difference?
Rules. Nice car.
It is.
What do you know
about John Kelly?
I know that he's dead.
What else do you
know about him?
I know that
I didn't like him.
Does that make me
a suspect, Chief Stone?
Jesse.
You and your boss
are close.
What do you mean, Jesse?
Well, you have
meals together.
John Kelly was a climber.
I don't like people
taking advantage of my boss.
(CHUCKLES)
Mr. Fish said you might
want to talk to me.
I always like
talking to you, Alan.
The last time
Mr. Fish saw him
was two days
before he was murdered.
You've been briefed.
I have.
When's the last
time you saw him?
Two days before
he was murdered.
Do you have
plans tonight?
Are you asking me out?
No.
You and Gino
having dinner?
I'm going home tonight.
I have a life beyond work.
(PHONE RINGING)
Healy.
You called me.
Okay, we got
John Kelly's lab reports.
Toxicology, credit card
receipts, nothing.
What did he buy the day of?
He went to a department
store and some place
called Milly's.
What's Milly's?
I don't know.
I haven't had a chance
to check it out yet.
Anything else?
Not hardly. You?
Not hardly.
I missed something.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
I heard screams
from another room.
I went in.
There's this
drugged out dope dealer
on top of a young girl.
Her skirt was up,
her clothes were ripped,
she was crying.
"Get off of her," I said.
He turned around,
he looked at me
like I was nuts.
"She's choice," he said.
Said he was gonna
kill her anyway,
so why not put her
to good use first.
He said it like
I should understand.
What did you do?
I kicked him in the face.
He spit out some teeth
and he stood up,
bleeding all over
the hardwood floor.
Just stood there
staring at me with
this smirk on his face.
So I shot it off.
Put two more
in his chest
the girl jumped
up out of the bed,
ran out the back.
That was my last
day as a cop.
Broke open a key of coke,
spread it around the room,
found his gun,
put in his hand.
Drug deal gone bad.
The girl never surfaced,
nobody knew what I did.
I went home, pounded a fif
of Scotch and passed out.
I woke up with a hangover
and a revelation.
The job and the drinking
feed each other. Toxic.
You loved the work.
I hate fishing.
So do I.
So why did you suggest it?
Seemed like a good
idea at the time.
Doesn't cost me anything.
I'll bill you
for a house call.
It's freezing out here.
You figure it out yet?
I don't think it's
the kind of thing where
a light bulb goes on.
Is it Jenn
or is it the work
that makes you drink?
Hell, I don't know.
Could be both.
I'm not a shrink.
I prefer "therapist."
When you're on a case,
you don't drink.
I always drink,
but if I'm involved,
I don't like to drink a lot.
You once told me
you wanted to
kill her boyfriend.
Did you mean that?
I was jealous.
That's not much
of an answer for
a shrink.
Jealousy isn't
a good enough reason?
Jealousy's
a powerful thing.
What I want to know is
do you think you meant it?
I meant it.
So if you could've
gotten your hands on him...
I would've killed him.
Jealousy's
a powerful thing.
(RAIN PATTERING)
(GUNSHOT)
Why Alan Garner?
JESSE: Something's hinky.
Break-ups are hinky.
Tell me about it.
Alan Garner, background.
Born Haverhill, 1978.
Mother, Selma.
Father not listed.
Bachelor's Degree,
Business Administration,
Boston University.
Master's Degree,
Criminal Psychology.
Okay.
Two incidents
of domestic violence.
Both charges dropped.
How long ago?
Last one, 2002.
Before Gino.
Why Alan Garner?
Just accumulating data.
No, you're not.
Jesse, how much do you
think you can hold back
and still work for me?
I don't think
John Kelly was random.
I think the killer
walked up the ramp
till he found Kelly's car
and waited for him.
Why Alan Garner?
I think he could've
done the killings.
You think?
Yeah.
You got a motive?
Milly's is a gay bar.
I think John Kelly
and Gino had a thing
and his main squeeze,
Alan, found out about it,
he got jealous
and he killed him.
When he calmed down,
he decided to kill more.
So how did he
select two and three?
I have no idea.
You think he killed
two and three
to make it look random,
cover up the motive.
That's about it.
Why'd you go to Gino?
I don't know Bixy Chappell
Leo Finn's dead.
So it's a guess?
It is.
I guess that's
why you hired me.
It is. I think
you're a good guesser.
Look, he's smart.
He went to school.
He knows criminal behavior.
He knows how we work.
I know Alan Garner.
I don't see him out
of control like this.
Jealousy's
a powerful thing.
Where does he live?
Right here.
I had nothing to do
with the killings.
I know that.
Then why the intrigue?
I needed to talk
to you in private.
This is public.
Which makes it private.
Were you with Alan Garner
the night John Kelly
was murdered?
No.
I want to tell you a story.
You want to
tell me a story?
I do, since
you're not his alibi.
I think he killed
John Kelly.
You think?
Know, but can't prove.
Alan? Why would he?
I mean, assuming
he's capable of that.
He was jealous.
Alan would be
jealous of what?
Alan is a business associate.
He might have been
afraid he was going
to lose his position.
Why would he think that?
Maybe you took
a meeting with Mr. Kelly
and Alan assumed the worst.
Did you know
he has a Master's Degree
in Criminal Psychology?
No, I didn't.
Well, he does.
So he would know
that if he killed
at least two more,
it would look like
random serial killings.
Indicating a sickness.
Not for me to say.
Maybe he's
a ruthless sociopath.
Or a sick ruthless sociopath
I don't really care.
Why should I care?
A serial killer who's
your personal assistant
might not look too good
on a boxing promoter's resume.
And you're telling me
all this because...
I'm just giving
you a heads up.
I'm going after him.
If I'm right,
and I think I am,
this is gonna get
in the papers.
Huh.
Anything you want
to tell me?
I think you're stirring
the pot, Jesse Stone.
I am stirring the pot.
It's a ridiculous story.
It is, isn't it?
I don't know
what I was thinking.
Thanks for straightening
me out, Gino.
Not at all, Jesse Stone.
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Where are you?
I'm home. Kind of.
I called you, you didn't
check your messages.
I checked my messages.
That's why I'm calling.
I gave Emily
a picture of the guy.
I know.
JESSE: How do you know?
Because I gave her one, too,
and I also gave
one to the new clerk
at the Final Stop.
And the guy in Heartford?
ROSE: I did.
That's good
police work, Rose.
What's the Chief think?
He doesn't think
our smoker is relevant.
(SIGHING) Are you
going to the range?
ROSE: The Temp Chief is
adamant about practice.
Good. How are you feeling?
Well, I'm glad
I have my work.
Jesse, are you there?
Yeah. Keep in touch
with Emily, will you?
Oh, she checks in
all the time.
Thank you.
And check your message...
(SIGHS)
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
Did Suit talk to you?
What about?
Nothing.
Where were you
when I called?
Home.
Your phone doesn't
work at home.
I was watching
Emily close up.
You were looking
out for her?
I was.
Why couldn't
you just say that?
I don't know.
That might be
a shrink question.
How did you feel?
How did I feel?
When you moved out.
That was different, Rose.
You got a divorce,
didn't you?
Jenn got a divorce.
Jesse, you're divorced.
Everywhere but in my mind.
How many is that?
This is one.
I haven't slept in a while.
How long a while?
How long since
I've been here?
Three days.
Three days.
I read somewhere
that two drinks a day
is good for your heart.
So I made a rule,
two drinks a day.
It would give me something
to look forward
to every evening
but it wouldn't
scramble my brain.
So when I'm thinking right,
two drinks a day
is about right for me.
Don't let me fall asleep.
My mom's bringing the boys
back in the morning.
So, how did you feel?
Awful.
Awful's one word.
How about a sentence?
When Jenn and I were together,
I tried to pay attention
to what she wanted.
If she was happy,
I always said to myself,
"I'm happy."
Wasn't true, but I thought
that it ought to be true,
so I insisted on
trying to make it true,
matter how unhappy
it made both of us.
Town Council's gonna let
everybody go, Rose.
(LAUGHS)
JESSE: (ON ANSWERING MACHINE)
This is Jesse.
Leave a message.
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
Jesse, he's here.
Pack of Fife's, please.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
JESSE: Jealousy
is a powerful thing.
Who is this?
Where do you keep
your .22 revolver, Alan?
How did you get
this number?
You're much too smart
to leave it lying around.
So where'd you hide it?
I do not own
any firearms.
You mean you do not own any
legally-acquired firearms.
Same thing.
Not hardly, Alan.
I'm going to hang up.
Okay.
Alan, you're still there.
I guess you want
to know what I know.
Did you know the woman
had three children?
Horrible tragedy.
What do you want, Stone?
Jesse. What do I want?
Well, I want you to
go to the State
Homicide Commander
and explain how
and why you did this.
Did what?
You're not gonna talk
to Captain Healy,
are you, Alan?
I know you have
issues, Stone.
Jesse.
Are you drinking
right now, Jesse?
I'm talking to you, Alan.
Did you do the third one
because I showed up at Gino's?
I deeply resent that, Alan.
I don't think
you're psychotic.
(LAUGHS) Well, thank you.
Now sociopaths,
they feel no remorse,
they have no conscience.
They feel no obligation
even to the families
of the people they prey on.
They just don't care.
But then you know that.
What? No clever response?
You're a cold, ruthless,
sociopathic son of a bitch.
So what?
I'm going to
haunt you, Alan?
If what you're saying is true,
there's really nothing you can
do about it.
Sure there is,
I could just shoot you.
You'll be wanting
to talk to me.
How do you know?
We read the same books.
I'll be sitting at an
outside table at Milly's.
I believe you know
the place. 3:00.
I won't be there.
(SIGHS)
(VOMITING)
(EMILY EXCLAIMING)
Open it up. Open it up!
Put the money in the bag.
Hurry up!
(WHIMPERING)
Hurry up. Hurry up!
Pick it up! Hurry up!
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Police!
Put the gun on the counter
and back away from her!
I want to see your
hands at all times.
(LAUGHS)
Do it.
Put the revolver on
the passenger seat.
With your right hand,
give me the keys.
Put this on your right wrist
I'll bet you know how.
Give me your left hand.
You don't wanna mess
with those two inside.
Those cops are man-eaters.
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)
(SIGHS)
Was he meeting you?
Don't ask.
I just did.
I was just having coffee
at my favorite
gay bar, Officer.
Did he have the weapon?
No.
He dumped it.
Maybe I pushed too hard.
You sure it was him?
Pretty sure.
Proof?
Just because there's no proof
doesn't mean it isn't true.
So you got
a look at the plates?
No plates.
You got a candidate?
I got a nominee.
He'll have an alibi.
He will.
Why would Gino
take the risk?
I guess Alan
was a bigger one.
How am I gonna be
sure it was him?
You'd be pretty sure
if the killings stop.
It's not gonna help
me with the press.
That's way above
my pay grade.
