Looks like It's clearing up.

What was the message when you
answered the page, Skipper?

DaAngelo, why do you call me 'Skipper'?

You don't like
Being called 'Skipper'?

I didn't say that.
I asked you why.

I don't know.
Seems kind of cop-ly.

I'll just call you 'Chief.'.

Now that I have you back, I want you happy.
Call me Skipper.

The caller said some kids
started a fire out on the point

and they were
worried about their house.

It was raining.
They leave their address?

They hung up.

Probably...

A crank.

A police officer
cannot afford to be wrong.

It has to be checked out.

He hated me
calling him "Skipper."

Have you seen him?

I don't like him.

I didn't ask if you liked him.
I asked if you'd seen him.

Nope.

It doesn't seem
that anyone has.

Not for months.

He didn't...

Like you.
Why, do you think?

Beats me. What's not to like?

He made me do stupid things.
He made me feel...

Unlikeable.

He's not someone who should
spend a lot of time alone.

He made me order a hat.

Why did he make
you order a hat?

Because It was a stupid thing.

He didn't like
the colour of our hats.

He wanted one in...

Navy blue.

Stupid.

And on the back,
he had me embroider...

"Chief."

Can I ask you a question,
Skipper?

How do I always know
what you're going to say?

Yeah, you finish my sentences.

It's a gift.

I sure don't see any smoke.

It still has to be
checked out, Anthony.

Do you remember
where you ordered that hat?

You want a blue hat?

When I said it
was a stupid thing,

I didn't mean
the hat itself was stupid.

Making me do it was stupid.

I could've been
writing parking tickets.

I want a blue hat.

But you want
"Skipper" on the back?

How about "Chief"?

DeAngelo...

If you're lost, you might be
talking to the wrong guy.

Hello, Jesse.

Hello, Hasty.

Your front door was unlocked.

Oh, my God.

Your phone's disconnected.

It is.

Councilman Hansen.

We need to talk.

They said he couldn't
have felt anything.

We wanted to talk to
you on our way out..

I'm sorry, Mr. Hansen.

How can I help?

Such a fine boy.

I know you didn't like him.

I don't think lever said that.

You know, my daughter is...

My grandson

doesn't understand.

What do you know?

I've nothing.

State Homicide
Commander is on the scene,

and as official
representatives of Paradise,

we need to be kept up to speed,

but he's not gonna
tell us anything.

You have no need to know.

I know that he is your friend.

Can you help us?

I have no authority.

He is my friend,
and he's a good cop,

and he's not gonna
tell you anything.

I'm sorry, sir.
No one is allowed beyond this point.

I don't think you
know who we are.

We represent
the Paradise Town Council.

This is Carter Hansen,
he's our president.

His son-in-law was
killed in the accident.

I'm Jesse Stone,
the Paradise Police Chief.

Temp Chief.

No temp. Just chief.

Is that correct?

That is correct.

Chief Stone, would you
like to come with me?

I'm sorry,
you'll have to stay here.

But we're the town council.

I'm sorry, Mr. Hansen.

Is William still down there?

Yes, sir.

Two bodies.

It's a crime scene.

I understand.

You're calling it
a crime scene,

obviously this
wasn't an accident.

Chief Stone.

Hell of away to
get back in the game.

Back for good?

I think we just settled that.

Is this a great country
or what?

You said "bodies."

Yeah, two of them.

His deputy was driving him,
an Officer Anthony DeAngelo.

Okay.

You know him?
I fired him.

Hansen shouldn't see this.

Nothing left to identify, really.
The fire took care of that.

What caused the fire?

Explosion. Big one.

You want to kill a cop,
why be so conspicuous?

Talk to me before you leave.

- Jesse.
- Doc.

You're back.

I'm back.

They won't let me
do anything, Jesse.

What did you tell them?

That I'm the part-time
medical examiner.

It's my job, Jesse.
They have no reason.

Did you show them your card?

I only have my
pediatrician card.

That would be a reason.

You touch anything?

I didn't pollute
the crime scene, Jesse.

How'd you know?

I always listen to police
radio with my morning coffee.

That's good police work, Doc.

I'm the Paradise Police Chief.

This is my M.E.,
Peter Perkins.

May I?

I know you didn't
like Chief Butler.

I don't think lever said that.

He had a kid.

What did you think?

I think they're dead.

The explosion came from the
outside, from underneath.

If it was Iraq,
I'd know what to think.

The Feds come in on this,
they'll screw it up.

It isn't terrorism.

No, it's not.

That was where
the spare tire should be.

A lot of cash.
What's in the packages?

What do you think?

I think a cop deserves
the benefit of the doubt.

My guys will
keep this in house.

If you say so

I say so.

Jesse,

this is a State
Homicide operation.

Don't invent
anything on your own.

I always knew I'd
get my job back.

Fate wouldn't do that to me.

If you say so.

You have violated a protected area.

The police have been called.

Leave immediately.

I'm looking for
one of your tenants.

What's with the hat?
You're acting like you're the police chief.

I am the police chief.

Since when?

Since today.

I know, it's April
and I'm over-watering.

It's not that.

Damn shame about Chief Butler.

It is.

Rose's husband.

You have a warrant, Chief?

It's not that kind of thing, Stan.
He's probably on a monthly.

Well, we have a lot of those, Jesse.
As you might remember.

You also might remember I have
a policy of confidentiality.

It's given me many
repeat customers.

Perhaps you could think of ma
as a former tenant.

Why'd you leave, anyway?

You know, I fixed the leak in your
unit, got rid of the moldy carpet.

Jim Gammon.

Cottage 30.

Hello, Jesse.

Jim.

Looking for Rose.

You didn't expect
to find her here.

I did not.

You don't know, do you?

What don't I know?

I thought you were close.

We are close.

But you don't
know where she is.

That's correct.

She took my kids away from me.

Can you think of a reason?

I know a lot about divorce.

I don't have to talk to you.

You got somebody
you can talk to?

I know someone.

She sold the house.

You're such a good friend,

find her.

Some kids have started
a bonfire out on the point, okay?

I'm worried about my house.

Some kids have started a bonfire
out on the point, okay?

I'm worried about my house.

Where's Molly?

You mean Rose.

Why am I always
calling Rose, Molly?

I have no idea, Hasty.

So, where is Molly?

She quit to have a baby.

Wait a minute.
Didn't she quit to have a baby?

When was that?

Three years ago.

So, where's Rose?

She's not here.

Who's manning the phones?
No one.

You think that's wise?
I don't.

This is an emergency.

I think you should call Rosa,
tall her to coma In.

I don't think I can do that.

Because?

My sense is she quit.

No, Luther quit.

He did.
So, where's Rose?

She quit.
How do you know?

Because no one's
manning the phones.

What do you know?

I know she left town.

I know.
I mean about the murders.

How do you know it's murder?

Well, they sure didn't blow themselves up.
What do you know?

I can't tell you.

Why can't you tell me?

Because I'm the police chief.

I represent the town council.

Hasty, you just got back on.
Carter Hansen's the president,

he represents the town council.

Jesse, how do you think
you got your job back?

You think Carter
Hansen wanted it?

I wouldn't think so

I'm very fond of you, Jesse.

I know that, Hasty.

Was that the phone message
that sent them to the point?

You weren't
supposed to hear that

I think that Butler was mixed
up In something Illegal.

You're not a cop, Hasty.

What do you know?

You need someone
manning the phones.

Hope I didn't keep you waiting.

I came as soon as
I got your message.

My cell phone doesn't get
reception at my house.

I always wanted a son.

You think State Homicide is
holding back information?

Couldn't say.

Do you feel up to
answering a few questions?

I've talked at length
with my daughter,

but she and my
grandson need time.

I understand, sir.

When was the last time
your daughter saw her husband?

He left about 5:30
yesterday morning.

Was that unusual?

Well, not lately.

My son-in-law's been putting in
a great deal of time at work.

He's been preoccupied.

We should know more by now.

In an investigation like this, particularly
with the death of police officers,

they will be
concerned that details

would alert and
inform whoever did this.

If somebody wanted to
kill two police officers,

and they wanted to
get away with it,

why would they be so blatant?

Why wouldn't they make it
look like an accident?

I would only be speculating.

Well, go ahead. Speculate.

I can't, Mr. Hansen.

I'm aware of the difficulties
we've had in the past,

but I'd appreciate it
if you'd call me Carter.

When did you first
hear about the explosion?

7:35, I got a call
from State Homicide.

And you called Hasty.

Well, Hasty already knew, so we
decided to go out there together.

Do you know of
anything specific

that your son-in-law
was working on?

No.

He kept so much inside.

I'm gonna need
your help, Carter.

I will have to
talk to your daughter.

Will you tell me
when you think she's up to it?

Yeah.

I know you're
a good cop, Chief Stone.

Get the man who killed my son.

There were times I hated him.

Why did you hate him?

Because he wasn't me.

You mean because
you weren't him?

He had my job.

Did you ever wish he were dead?

Yes.

Apparently I wasn't shy about
telling people I didn't like him.

I thought I only thought It.

How do you feel about that?

How do I feel about that?

I didn't like him.

He didn't make me lose my job.

That was solely
my accomplishment.

Okay.

Are you gonna
obsess about this?

Yes.

Because you're guilty
about how you feel?

'Cause I'm a cop.

Good.

That's relatively healthy.

Thank you.

I've lost my people.

What happened?

Suitcase didn't like Butler,
so he quit.

And that's your fault?

What about Rose?

She was my friend
and I lost touch.

Did she like Butler?

No.

So, she quit.

Apparently.

And that's your fault, too.

Did I aver tall you
that you have

a hyperactive sense
of responsibility?

Several times.

Hasty told me
the town council felt

they both had
been infected by me.

That guy is a piece of work.

How can you believe anything
that comes out of his mouth?

I sift through his words
for partial truths.

Well, let me get this straight.

He hires you because you're a drunk
and thinks he can control you.

You prove he can't.

You send him to prison for
laundering money for Gino Fish,

he gets out of prison,

starts up a car dealership with
no visible financial backing.

That would be him.

What's your take on the murders?

You miss being a cop,
don't you?

Every day. But being a cop was toxic for me.
Made me drink.

Being a cop is the only thing
that makes me drink less.

Word in Paradise is
that Butler was dirty.

Small town.

So, you think he was dirty.

I didn't say that.

Cop deserves
the benefit of the doubt.

Hello.

It's Jesse.

Is it as cold there as
it is in Toledo, Jesse?

I would have no
way of knowing, Mary.

How'd you know?

I didn't.

It's okay, Hum.

Hi, Jesse.

Hello, Rose.

Why didn't you tell me your
chair was so uncomfortable?

I'm sitting at your desk.

Why are you sitting at my desk?

Because I'm the police chief.

You're the retired
police chief.

Just police chief.

You told me you'd
get your job back.

You said, "Fate
wouldn't do this to me."

Not like this.

How are Chief Butler's
wife and family?

- You heard?
- I heard.

I haven't talked to them.
I'm trying to give them some time.

Carter Hansen's devastated.

He loved his son-in-law.
He loved him like a son.

Does April 24th
mean anything to you?

Yes.

What's it mean?

It's my anniversary.

Okay.

Why would you bring
that up now, Jesse?

I didn't. I mean...

I'm sorry, Rose.

I was trying to find out if
Butler was working on anything.

Well, he wasn't given to sharing.
He was even worse than you.

Did he seem...

Preoccupied? Yes.

He even shut his office door sometimes
before he made a phone call.

Maybe he was calling home.

No, he didn't shut his door
like he was calling home.

Is that helpful?
It is.

Is that why you called?

Don't shrug.

I called to talk to you.
You could've told me you were leaving.

The phone works
both ways, Jesse.

So, why are you calling now?

I called now because...

Why is this so hard?

I called now
because I miss you.

I'm sorry that
I lost touch, Jesse.

It's hard to keep in touch with

someone who doesn't
want to be found.

You gonna come home?

I hope I can.

I hope you will.

Bye, Jesse.

Come back to Paradise, Rose.

Figured it out yet?

I'm State Homicide Commander,
not God.

I thought they
were the same thing.

Think how disappointed I am.

"It's an ongoing investigation."

"All I can say at this point is
we cannot rule out foul play."

Nice.

I thought it was
appropriately obtuse.

"I have nothing more
to say at this time."

Now you, you could've been
a little more eloquent.

Have you ever known me to be eloquent?
Not hardly.

So, we bought a little time.

Very little.

How much was in the duffel bag?

We reckon about 100,000.

And the powder was heroin.

High-end smack.

What's that tell you?

Butler was dirty.

Or somebody set him up.

You never liked him.

I don't think lever said that.

Oh, yes, you did.

A cop deserves
the benefit of the doubt.

You know, I can see the heroin,

but to burn up
$100,000 on a set-up...

No, he was dirty.

If he was dirty,
who killed him?

A rival. Or the guys
he was working with.

If you blow up a cop,
it makes news.

Why not make it
look like an accident?

Somebody had a grudge.

Or somebody set him up.

If the guys he was working
with wanted to kill him,

they wouldn't burn the money.

Yeah, but if it was a rival,

how would he know
he was blowing up the money?

And if Butler was a good cop
who was onto something,

you'd burn a hundred grand
to make him look dirty.

I don't deal In lf´s

I deal in certainty.

Well, it's certain a hundred
grand's a lot of money to burn.

Whose case is this,
yours or mine?

Both.

Who defers to who?

It is State Homicide's policy to
defer to the local authorities.

Good.

It's State Homicide's policy
to defer to local authorities

when it is appropriate
and effective.

Okay.
So...

Other than the fact
that you think he's clean,

what do you know
so far, Chief Stone?

Nothing.

The explosion was caused by...

An IED.

I thought you
didn't know anything.

Knowing and supposing
are two different things.

We've identified five veterans,

all with experience
in explosives,

all with criminal records,
all live in the vicinity.

That's good police work,
Captain Healy.

We're able to run down four.

But the fifth one, Thompson,

hes closer to you.

So, you're deferring
to local authority?

I am.

In this instance.

What's with the hat?

You got your job back.

I sensed that you did.

Did you, now?

Actually, I read the paper.

What was he doing
on the Beach Road?

He got a complaint.
It was obviously bogus.

The caller knew
exactly what to say

and not to say to
get them to show up.

Butler would know that.

Still got to be checked out.

He would do that.

Got him killed.

You didn't like him.

I don't think lever said that.

Yes, you did, Jesse.

You going out?

A couple of days.

Got to shake down
some new equipment,

come back in, then Grand Banks.

Be careful out there.

You come here to tell me that?

I did not.

He had a kid.

He did.

Rose quit.

She did. Last week.

Because of Butler?

Divorce.
She had to sell the house.

She left town.

My sense is she'd go
to her mom's in Toledo.

She went to her
mom's in Toledo.

We lost touch.

We did.

You're a good cop, Suitcase.

So are you, Jesse.
It's important that you remember that.

You'll find out who did this.

Something's gonna
happen on the 24th.

Besides that.

Cop intuition's a little rusty.

2AH10.

Happened at 2:00
in the morning.

My sense is that 10 would
designate a sum of money.

You got a feeling.

Donuts. They're cop-ly.

Cast off, Luther!

Okay, Dad.

I can't go back, Jesse.

I was born into this life.
This is where I belong.

Mr. Thompson?

Hello?

Mr. Thompson. Police.

Herb, my medical examiner needs
to be brought up to speed.

Thank you, Jesse.

Chief Stone.

I was on my way home, so...

What happens to the dog?

Animal Control will take care of it.

I hear your medical examiner is
also your town pediatrician.

His heart and gut
are in the right place.

And that's all
that matters to you.

That's about it.

You just put down your dog,
maybe you should take him home.

Sir, found this.

Yeah. Good.

So, what do you think?
About the dog?

I think it looks
like he hung himself.

I think he hung himself.

Not the same thing.

Guy lives alone,
away from other people.

Only companion was his dog.

Now, that can be toxic.

Reggie's not my dog.

I was talking
about the deceased.

It's the best drink
I've had since I was shot.

It's the only drink you've had
since you were shot.

It's too easy.

Some cases are hard...

And some are easy
I know the speech.

Okay.

Thompson was a junkie,
small-time seller.

Who was he working for?

Got his knowledge
from the military.

And with
the bomb-making stuff

and the cell phone
detonator in the cellar,

I think we got a slam dunk.

It sounds like you're trying
to convince yourself.

Who'd he work for
last time he was busted?

We think it was Gino Fish.

Okay.

Does this mean anything to you?

No. Is that a clue?

No. It's my laundry list.

That's not funny.

The guy made the bomb.
He killed the chief.

Like I said.

And somebody killed him.

Who?
Whoever set him up.

You're an addict.
You get a big payday.

Next morning, you're full
of smack and cooling out,

but you manage to fight
through it and conjure up

enough remorse
to hang yourself?

You're making my head hurt.

A cop deserves
the benefit of the doubt.

Lonely place.

It is.

No one knows.

I don't want to piss off my ex.

I used to do that.

So you've said.

And that you're
still in love with her.

I am.

Must make it hard
to commit to another woman.

Not for the short term.

Never met a man who couldn't
commit for the short term.

Most men wouldn't have told me
about the ex-wife.

So they could get you into bed.

So they could get me into bed.

Doesn't mean I don't want to.

Don't get your hopes up.

My hopes are always up.

Do I have to call
you "Chief" now?

Only when you feel so moved.

I'm sleeping with a cop.

You've always been
sleeping with a cop.

I just wasn't
getting paid for it.

Does anyone know?

Yes.

Who would that be?

Your room-mate knows.

He won't talk.

Do you have time for sex?

If we hurry.
You never hurry.

I have a job now.

I have to close the place.

I have to open
the station early.

That's sad.

What are you looking at?

I'm breaking the law.

You're driving and talking
on your cell phone.

It's okay,
I'm the police chief.

It occurred to me
Butler used a computer.

It was in the cruiser.
Not much left of it.

One of my college guys managed
to retrieve some of his e-mails.

How do they do that?

I have no idea.

So far none of
the e-mails show

anything incriminating
or exculpatory.

Can you keep a lid
on this till the 24th?

Why?

Because something's
Gonna happen on the 24th.

Is that a guess?

No, it's a hunch.

You see a difference?

A hunch is a guess
that has certainty.

Jesse, you can't suppose
yourself into certainty.

I would disagree.

You said the guy
who hanged himself

might have
worked for Gino Fish.

Gino didn't do this.

How do you know?

'Cause he's too smart to kill a
cop, and it's not his style.

Is that a guess?
No.

That's a hunch.

License and registration,
please.

May I go in the glove box?

You may.

Arthur Gallery.

I prefer Art.

Okay.

Why have you
stopped me, Officer?

I prefer Chief.
And you were speeding, Art.

I was not speeding, Chief.
Sure you were.

I was speeding and
you were following me.

You were also following me
on the turnpike yesterday.

Would you step out
of the car, please?

Put your hands on
the hood of the car.

Why do I think you
know this routine?

You have no
probable cause, okay?

This is my town. There's no Dash
Cam in the cruiser to protect you

so you can toy
with the Constitution.

What, no clever response?

If you're armed,
you'd best tell me now.

If you don't
and I find a piece,

I'll just throw it on the seat
and say I saw it there.

I'm not armed.

Okay.

You're not gonna search me?

I just did.

What's in the trunk?

You have no
probable cause, Chief.

Arthur, please don't
make me start over.

It's my deer rifle.

.308's a good sniper round.

What's the light for, Arthur?
You can't hunt at night.

Where's the magazine?

It's in a separate pouch, okay?

Is the magazine loaded?

Yes, it is, Chief.

Congratulations, Arthur.
You just passed the State test.

So, how long do you think it would
take you to grab a loaded magazine,

insert it in your rifle,
chamber a round,

and be ready for the next deer?

Or whatever?

I haven't timed it.

I think you have.

You're free to go, Arthur.

Drive carefully.

You're not gonna issue a
citation for speeding, Chief?

I am not. I'm going to give
you a warning instead.

Don't follow me around.

Have you talked to your ex-wife?

I'm trying not to.

I didn't ask you that.
Have you talked to Jenn?

I haven't talked to Jenn
since before I lost my job.

Is that a good thing?

Too soon to tell.

Are you drinking?

I always drink.

Are you drinking a lot?

Probably less than if
I'd been talking to Jenn.

So that's a good thing.

I didn't say that.

No, I said that.

Why is this so hard?

You come to me for help,
and then you fight me.

It's my nickel.
I don't want to make it too easy.

You are a subversive
son of a bitch.

I guess, if I'm drinking less,
that would be a good thing.

Well, there's a breakthrough,
sort of.

Are you seeing anyone?
I'm seeing you.

I have been seeing someone.

Is that a good thing?

Yes. It helped me stay
together after I lost my job.

We've become pals who have sex.

You like her?

I do.

Women usually want more.

She's more afraid of
commitment than I am.

Okay.

I'm paying you 180
bucks an hour, right?

That's correct.

Our breakthrough
came too early.

Put on your cop hat.

Be careful with that.
I'm hoping it's a clue.

"2AH10."
Obviously some kind of code.

Whoever wrote it wanted to keep
this information a secret.

Butler wrote It.

One always reads backwards
on notes of this nature.

How do you know that?

You want my
cop-ly opinion or not?

I do.

I used to do this kind
of work for a living.

"H10" probably means a location,
or a name and a location.

"2A" is a time.

What's that mean?
"'H10' is probably

"a location,
or a name and a location"?

Which is it? I don't know.
What's it say to you?

I think it says
Butler was onto something,

and it got him
and DeAngelo killed.

Well,
thinkings not good enough.

I'm a hunch guy,
not an evidence guy.

If my gut gives me certainty,
that's all I need.

Convictions are
based on evidence.

I don't care about convictions.
I care about justice.

Morning, Thelma.

Morning, Jesse.

You called me.

Did you see what
she is wearing?

Who?

Thelma. I'm obsessed
with her.

What about Cissy?

Oh, I'm trying to
move on from my ex-wife.

As am I.

What does that mean?

It means I am trying to
move on from my ex-wife also.

Oh.

Yeah. I was hoping
you could fix me up.

With Thelma?

That would assume
she wants to go out with you.

You know, the only reason that
she works here selling cars is

so she can sing
in a club at night.

Do you think I
should go down there?

I wouldn't do that, Hasty.

No. You're right.

She'll think I'm
coming on too strong.

Might even consider
it sexual harassment.

No. I think
what I'm gonna do is,

I am gonna sit back,

I am gonna bide my time,

play it cool.

Why do you do that?

It's who I am.

So, do you think he was mixed
up in something illegal?

That's the second time
you've said that,

and could you
turn that thing off?

Come on, Jesse.
The way he was killed

makes it look like
he was mixed up in something.

Exactly. It makes it look like
he was mixed up in something.

Clearly State Homicide is
holding back information.

Carter Hansen
said the same thing.

They always hold
back information.

Well, what do you know?

Okay, what I know is that Hansen's
gonna get rid of you, Jesse,

as soon as he
finds somebody else.

I do not have a problem
with Hansen, nor he me.

How'd you know?

What?

About the bombing.
He said you already knew.

Why would State
Homicide call you

and not the rest
of the town council?

No, they didn't.
Look, Hansen was in shock.

All I knew was that something was
wrong as soon as I heard his voice.

No, he's just confused

I'm sorry, Hasty.
It's just the cop in me.

He's pretty beat up by this.

Was Butler working
on something?

Nothing I can find.
Does "2AH10" mean anything to you?

That just sounds
like some kind of code.

He was very secretive.
In fact, he was worse than you.

Now, I can help
you with his laptop.

I know you're
computer illiterate.

I prefer Luddite, and it was
destroyed in the explosion.

That's a serious blow
to the investigation.

Look, I know I owe you, Hasty.

You gave me the job
In the first place.

So, here's what I can tell you.

I'm the only cop who
thinks he wasn't dirty.

The killer knew that Butler
was gonna be on the Beach Road

and where he was going.

Someone's following me around.

And something's
Gonna happen on the 24th.

What's gonna
happen on the 24th?

That is
something I do not know.

I can help you with this.

I'm very fond of you, Jesse.

Hello, Amanda.

Hello, Jesse.

You remembered my name.

You're on the list.

Your list?

Mr. Fish's list.

Can I ask you something?

Do I have a choice?

You called me by my first name.

That's not a question.

That's not a question, Jesse.

Jesse.

I know that's not
a question, Amanda.

What was your question?
Jesse.

What was your question, Jesse?

I know you're shy and
afraid to break the ice,

so I'll start.

Could I see you sometime?

No.

I see.

Actually, that was
only part of my question.

I'm sorry. Was I rude?

No, you were direct.

I like direct.

Can I see you
sometime and would you

walk over to that door
and punch ma In?

Because?

Because I like watching you.

I'm too young for you.

I'm hurt.

Just coffee.

Where are you
taking me, Steven?

You came to see Mr. Fish?

That's correct.

I'm taking you
to see Mr. Fish.

Is he in an underground bunker?

I hardly think so.

You don't like me,
do you, Steven?

I do not.

Wait here.
Jesse.

Wait here, Jesse.

Jesse Stone is here to see you.

Jesse Stone.

Hello, Gino.

I see your PPD hat has found
its way back onto your head.

This is H. Henry Uppman,
an associate.

Jesse Stone is from Paradise.

He's the temp police chief.

Just chief.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

Obviously, I heard
about your former chief.

It was a horrible tragedy.

His name was William Butler
and he was murdered.

I see.

Is that why you're here?

Well, we haven't
visited in awhile.

I've missed our little chats.

I'm sorry, I was busy.

Doing what, Jesse Stone?

Being preoccupied.

And why are you wearing
the hat, Jesse Stone?

Because I missed it.

I'm afraid I have
more sad news, Gino.

Would you remember a former
employee named James Thompson?

I know of no such person.

Perhaps you
remember him as Jimmy.

I know of no such person.

Why do you ask?

Jimmy hanged himself yesterday.

How sad.

So, this is an official visit.

In a "let's get
reacquainted" sort of way.

Mr. Fish will not be answering
any more of your questions.

How sad.

It was nice seeing
you again, Jesse Stone.

Some kids have started
a bonfire out on the point, okay?

I'm worried about my house.

Some kids have started a bonfire
out on the point, okay?

I'm worried about my house.

Okay?
I'm worried about my house.

What were you thinking?

Excuse me?

What were you thinking
when you asked me out?

I didn't ask you out, I asked
if I could see you sometime.

And the difference would be...

Rules.

Excuse me?

The rules between a meeting
and a date are different.

And this would be...

This would be a meeting.

I'm too young for you.

You mean I'm too old for you.

Not necessarily.

That was kind.

I didn't mean it to be.

It was direct.

I see.
No, you don't.

Okay.

I'm not ready.

I see.

Don't keep saying that,
because you don't see.

Okay.

The idea has
always appealed to me.

I see.

I do see.

You're not ready.

Amanda,

what's gonna
happen on the 24th?

Nothing, Jesse.

I have no plans.

Okay.

So, why did you ask me out?

Why do you want to know?

Because I've kissed
a few frogs in my day.

I see.

You make me curious.

About?
About you.

Good. I like curious.

So, do you like working
in the field of boxing?

Yes, I like men.

Okay.

Is that all you do
for Mr. Fish?

I'm his executive assistant.

In the boxing business?

In the boxing business.

Must be nice
working for the boss.

It is.

Although
Mr. Fish has a boss.

Mr. Fish has a boss?

I just said that.

And who would the boss be?

I don't know.

I've never seen him.

Clearly, this isn't about me.

What happens on the 24th?

I don't know.

You don't know?
Or you won't tall ma?

Does Gino Fish have a boss?

He's the sole owner
of GF Boxing Promotions,

and he runs the show on his
dark side, and he didn't do it.

Is that a guess or a hunch?

He has an ironclad alibi.

What'd he say?
He didn't.

His lawyer informed us.

H. Henry Uppman.

He's highly skilled in the
art of criminal defence.

Because?
Guy's a puts

Because he used
to be a prosecutor,

and now he's
a criminal defence attorney.

Did you pay Gino a visit?

I did.

My college boys are getting
nowhere with the laptop.

They think It's a total loss

I know he was onto something.

What?

Is this a hunch?

I got to make something happen.

Whose investigation
is this, Jesse?

I'm not sure that
was ever decided.

We're gonna go public with
some of this in the morning.

Maybe somebody
will step forward.

I asked you to wait.

I never said I would, or could.

Guy's got a family.

I know that.

I was right.

You never hurry.

You sing like an angel.

Thank you, Jesse.

You're way over-qualified
for that joint.

They let me sing.

You aver want to wear that underwear
again In front of a grown man,

I'm your guy.

You're different now that
you have your job back.

Is that a good thing?

Ever since I've known you, there was
a part of you that wasn't present.

And now?

There's a smaller part.

You love being a cop.

I do.

Why'd you come to Paradise?

You haven't
asked me that before.

I'm not cruel.

No, you're not.

It could be hurtful to ask
a cop who can't be a cop

why he became
the Paradise Police Chief.

But you're curious.

You make me curious.

Paradise was my last stop.

From?

I got fired in L.A.

For?

Being drunk on the job.

Your boss hired me.

I thought you
put him in prison.

I did.

He assumed that, with my
history, I'd be manageable.

But you're not.

No, I'm not.

His ex-wife's
a real piece of work.

I have found that to be true.

She took him for everything.

How'd he get the money
to start a used-car business?

That ls a question for which
I do not have the answer,

and he is not forthcoming
when I mention it.

Does he aver tall you
he's vary fond of you?

Only when he needs something.

This wasn't easy to get under
the conditions you specified.

That no one knew
you were getting it?

Exactly.

Do you wanna know
why I wanted it?

No.

Because?

You said, "Don't ask."

I wanna say something
and I don't want to scare you.

Fire away.

You helped me through
the hardest time of my life.

I was thinking of stopping by.
You gonna be around later?

Good.

Yes, the car is
in great condition,

it hasn't been
in any accidents.

That's right.

The mileage is very low.

Only 23,867.

And the original owner...

Congratulations, Jesse.
You actually made an appointment.

Thelma is in particularly
fine form today.

I need to talk, Hasty.

Jesse, you cannot
afford one of my cars.

Oh. Sit down.

So, what's gonna
happen on the 24th?

I thought getting my job back
would straighten me out.

How is the drinking thing?

I got wasted last night.

Are you getting help?
I'm not about to see a shrink.

Well, is there someone
you can talk to or confide in?

I think you just got elected.

I've been a cop for a long time, Hasty.
My gut's always served me,

but I have to apologize.

For what?

I'm just not thinking right.

You were so persistent about
wanting to know what I know,

and you've never told me how you
got the money for this place.

You take two small
unrelated things,

find your dinner in a bottle of
scotch, and look what you get.

What do you get?

Well, somewhere around my third
drink, I had it all figured out.

When I busted you, you weren't
laundering money for Gino Fish.

You just pled to it
to cover up something bigger.

Did you keep drinking?

I did.
And?

The more I drank,
the more it made sense.

You weren't working for Gino.
He was working for you.

You were the boss.

You ran the narcotics
operation, even from prison.

And I felt it
with such certainty.

And in the morning?

All I felt was a headache.

That's when I called you.

Why are you
telling me all this?

I owe you, Hasty.

Look, it was a crazy idea,
but I don't know, somehow

it made me feel disloyal.

So for what It's worth
I'm sorry.

I'm very fond of you, Jesse.

Thank you.

I think I know
where this came from.

Where would that be?

I couldn't face the fact
that a fellow cop was dirty,

that his drug deal went bad,
he knew too much, so...

Yeah. You've had
a rough time.

Anyway...

Thanks for listening.

Good news.
State Homicide thinks

they've found away
into Butler's computer.

They should have
everything by this evening.

I guess it will
incriminate Butler.

It's gonna be
hard on his family.

Yeah.

I'll walk you out.

Wait a minute.

Thelma? Come here.

You remember Jesse?
I do.

Thelma is in the process
of closing a very big deal.

A Bentley Continental.

Sweet.

Thanks, Hasty.

Nice seeing you, Thelma.

And you, Jesse.

I'm vary fond of him.

We got to move it up.

I know I'm not speaking
in a foreign tongue.

The 24th is a no-go.

6:00 tonight?

I know that daylight is a risk,

but risk is the price you pay
for opportunity, my friend.

No, I don't want you to tell them that.
Just tell them to be there.

Let me get that for you,
Mr. Hathaway.

No, this stays with me.
Thank you, Hal.

Will you be
leaving us for long, sir?

Just a couple of days.

It's a lot of luggage.

Well, if my business gets complicated,
I may need to extend my stay.

I would remind you that it's
none of your business, Hal.

Thank you, sir.

I told you it wasn't Gino.

I told you it wasn't Butler.

The deceased shooter,
Arthur Gallery,

had no priers, but he was
a person of interest

in three separate murders
on three different occasions.

Now, I could have
told you all this.

If you'd given me a name.

All I had was a traffic stop.

You could have
called me sooner.

I wasn't sure what I had.

Besides, your people got there
in a timely fashion.

So, what pushed you to Hasty?

Maintenance records on the cruiser.

Hasty's shop pulled maintenance

on Butler's cruiser
two days prior.

So you used...
What do you call it?

Carefully applied pressure.

From day one, he always assumed
he was smarter than me.

So you knew he
planted the money.

I had a hunch.

So, in Jesse's world
there was certainty?

No.

But when I saw
his eyes, there was.

No word on Hasty?

From day ons, I always assumed
I was smarter than him.

He's a resourceful
son of a bitch.

He'll turn up.

If you say so

Changed my mind.
