[exhales]

Two years, where you been?

Fighting crime.

I'll try not to get offended.

You broke the 200 bucks an hour barrier.

That's why I'm not seeing ya.

It's a reason.

But not the reason.

You lit a cigarette and you're not smoking it.

I'm trying to quit.

It was kind of a crunch.

I'm an addict, OK?

It's a good thing I didn't smoke.

It's a crutch.

Kind of like having two drinks a night.

I'm not an addict.

Sure you are.

Let's review.

Why didn't you review before I got here?

I did.

But now I'm gonna review with you.

Why is this so hard?

Are you still having two drinks a night?

Yes.

Ever break your rule?

Couple of times.

Couple of times in two years?

More or less.

More?

Or less.

Last time we talked, you said that, uh,

you were seeing someone.

I was.

You said you liked her.

I still do.

So you're still seeing her.

I am not.

Have you talked to your wife?

Ex-wife?

I'm sure that's in there, and no, I have not talked to Jen.

But you wanted to.

Old habit.

I used to talk to her every day.

So why'd you stop?

I ripped the phone out of the wall.

Why'd you rip the phone out of the wall?

Because it was pathetic.

So since you stopped talking to her,

you've gotten drunk a couple of times.

No, I got drunk a couple of times since I stopped seeing you.

And why are you seeing me now?

Because I got drunk a couple of times

since I stopped seeing you.

Hey, you are a subversive son of a bitch.

Nothing happens here.

You did too good a job cleaning up Dodge.

I lost my conscience.

That's definitely not in here.

You lost your conscience.

Is that kind of a feeling you got?

Yes.

And you're frightened?

I've been afraid of half the things I ever did.

But you're frightened now.

Yes.

Because?

Because I lost my conscience.

I had my dinner in a bottle of scotch.

I need this job, Sydney.

Anything else you need?

- I need a car. - Why do you need a car?

As you well know, last time I used my police cruiser to work in Boston,

I got suspended.

Internal Affairs wasn't your calling, by the way.

Homicide is.

I don't like the train. It lets me think too much.

I'll get you a car.

- Thank you, Sydney. - You're welcome, Jesse.

I don't know why I put that one in there.

Hello, Richard.

I like to talk with my hands.

You're a tough guy.

I'm tough enough.

What's with the hat?

You got juice.

I do.

Sit down.

You don't talk much.

I never found out anything by listening to myself.

What do you think of my work?

Your work.

What do you think of my avocation?

Your procedure is singular.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Jesse?

You're very skilled at this, Jesse.

I am.

Are you the good cop or the bad cop?

That's not worthy of you, Richard.

I'm both.

Your fourth victim.

I don't like that word.

What word would you prefer?

Recipient.

And I only have three.

You only confess to three.

In summary, the fourth victim-- sorry, Richard, that's

what it says here-- the fourth victim was killed in exactly

the same manner as the first three.

Prior to the evisceration, the initial entry into the abdomen

was identical.

As the specific details of the first three victims,

the specific details of the method,

were held in strict disconfidence,

and all four victims were prostitutes,

it was concluded that the same assailant had to be responsible

for all four murders.

I don't like that word.

What would you call it?

A public service.

Who wrote that?

The arresting detective.

Daniel, Steve, and Larry.

An Irish bricklayer of a detective.

He's a decorated police officer.

I almost got a rise out of you, Jesse.

I'll be diplomatic.

He doesn't share your gift.

There's a profound reason why you're here, Jesse.

Stay with this.

Find out who did it.

I'm tired.

You never told me what you thought of my work.

I think you're a sick son of a bitch,

and you should already be dead.

Thanks, Laura.

Guess you didn't have a fever.

License says you don't even have a cold.

Another one, Jesse?

Only one more.

And what can I get you, Luther?

Usual, Laura.

Papaya and cranberry.

Straight up.

Got it.

How did you know where to find me?

Small town.

What else do you know?

You're not sick.

I called yesterday and twice today.

I went to Boston.

You went to Boston today?

And yesterday.

Thanks, Laura.

Papaya and cranberry?

I'll get my check.

My sense is you're working on something big.

You got a feeling.

We were thinking about it when I came in.

I know how you get when you're onto something.

You go inside yourself.

I can help, Jesse.

Somebody's got to run the shop, and I got a lot of vacation

time coming.

Nothing happens here.

Crime could be just around the corner.

All right.

I went to Boston--

To work for Healy.

I didn't say that.

I went to Boston--

To follow a trail.

You're finishing my sentences again.

Sorry, Jesse.

I went to Boston to--

I'm a little embarrassed about this--

to enroll in some university classes.

In police investigation.

In the psychology of living alone.

Say no more, I understand.

You didn't take your police cruiser to Boston.

The train.

I like the train, that's what we think.

I don't think there is one person in Boston who doesn't know the ugly details of this mess.

The details employed by the killer were never made public, Mr. Davies.

I'm talking about Mavis's sideline.

I found out my wife was a prostitute in the papers.

Do you have any idea what that's like?

I do not.

Well, I--I certainly made enough money.

Why would she choose that?

That's a shrink question.

Marital problems? Excuse me?

Often a change in behavior can be triggered by marital problems.

I told everything I know to Detective Leary. Please?

Marital problems?

Our marriage was perfect.

I destroyed every photograph of Mavis.

Okay.

I have no intention of helping you open me up to another race.

I want to go to that public circus.

Okay.

May I see your dog?

That was Mavis's dog.

And I might as well have been on Mars when I was in his presence.

I tried with that dog.

I had to give him to Animal Services for adoption.

He was the source of hurt. Like the photographs.

That's right.

Good for you.

Sorry. Jeef Stone. This is Detective Dan Leary.

- Hi. - Hi.

I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here.

You're not. It's officially an open case.

And Mavis Davies deserves justice, just like the other three victims.

You know that Richard Steele will say or do anything to keep his name in the paper?

That was my take.

There isn't a day goes by that I don't ask myself why I couldn't give her justice.

Don't beat yourself up. Five.

Excuse me?

That's the number of open cases I had in L.A. that I still carry around. Five.

Is there a reason that you landed on this one?

I don't know something this brutal, this premeditated, requires consequence.

I'd like to work with you on this.

You will not. Your plate's full, Detective.

You said Mavis deserves justice like the other three.

- Clearly you think they're related. - I do. All four were hookers.

All four were killed exactly the same way.

- You'll keep me up to date? - We will. Thanks, Dave.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Good luck.

The murder stopped, Jesse.

So you think Mavis belongs to Richard Steele. What was the motive, Sydney?

We're never gonna know that. For any of them, you know that.

A husband could have had one if he knew she was a hooker before she was murdered.

- You talked to him? - I did.

- What do you think? - He's hurt enough. He's angry enough.

I want detailed daily reports on this investigation, Chief Stone.

I didn't wake you, did I? I know you're a night owl, so I figured you'd be up.

Exactly. How was that, Jesse?

I met a kid today on the way out of town. She was sitting on a wall smoking pot.

- Who is she? - Her name's Jenny O'Neill. She lives in a house.

- What'd you do? - Well, I sent her back to school, but...

But your confidant tuition says there's more to it.

Exactly. There was something in the way she reacted when I mentioned her mother.

- Could you pay her mom a visit? - I might be able to free up some time.

Could you do it in a way that doesn't raise any red flags? You know, like...

I don't see a need for this distraction.

I will be brief.

Just so you know, I consider my work a calling,

a vital if unappreciated calling.

Good for you.

So, Lieutenant Greenstreet has some doubt about Richard Steele

being involved with the Fourth Boston Ripper case.

I didn't say that.

Your presence implies it.

It does not.

And I do not speak for Lieutenant Greenstreet.

Richard Steele was not charged with the murder of Mavis Davies.

He only confessed to the first three,

so her murder is unresolved, as I'm sure you know.

As I'm sure you know, Chief Stone,

the specific details of the killer's method

were not released to the public.

No one else could have reproduced them.

The same man committed all four of those murders.

I would stake my reputation on it.

You already have.

Look, the method of restraint,

the depth and angle of the wound,

the length and strength of the upward stroke,

and the murders have stopped.

Everybody says that.

And you don't seem to draw a conclusion

from that fact in your report.

That is not my job.

No, it's mine.

There was no toxicology report on Mavis Davies in the file.

Oh, damn it!

He won't mind.

I think we're done here.

I'm sorry, but it appears you did toxicology

on the first three victims, but not Mavis.

Toxicology would be a standard requirement on a case like this.

Well, it's not in the file, Eben.

Well, I'm not the keeper of the files.

Good Lord, Chief Stone, for a man who's supposed to be so clever,

you act like an idiot.

That's one way to be clever.

And you don't seem upset by that.

By a lost test result.

No.

Because...

The murders have stopped.

You're telling me you came forward and confessed to three murders

right after the fourth one hit the papers.

Why would you do that, Richard?

Because I'm about to share my legacy, Jesse.

Your legacy?

My choice of words troubles you, doesn't it, Jesse?

Not really.

What's troubling is that it doesn't trouble you.

These people feed off the worst in us.

They pollute their bodies with poison and prey on the innocent.

That's how you see it.

That's how we should all see it.

That's why turning myself in was worth the sacrifice.

And that sacrifice would be?

My work wasn't finished.

Your first three were black. Mavis was white.

Why did that trouble you?

Please, that is not my deal, Jesse.

What is your deal, Richard?

It would be wrong for me to take credit for something I didn't do.

Wouldn't be ethical.

You still don't understand, do you?

I'd be ashamed if I did.

Good luck with your problem, Jesse.

I don't have a problem.

Sure you do.

I'll see you.

Well, the dinner is on a Friday.

You can send down the car for me.

Did you get a license number?

I always get the license number.

The car was stolen yesterday morning.

I guess that explains the hit-and-run.

And you have reason to believe it was an accident.

I didn't say that.

Not here either.

I will only go as a visitor.

Most hookers are junkies.

Streets are rough. Pimps are rough.

Most of my girls aren't hookers.

I know that.

And not all hookers are junkies. Though a lot are.

Anyway, rehab's not my business.

Love and support is my business.

and it turns out to be my Sunday school teacher sitting on my shoulder.

What's he say?

Okay, the murders have stopped. That seems to be enough for a lot of people. Green Street?

I don't think so. Murders could have stopped for a lot of reasons.

He's a sick son of a bitch, but he seems to have some sort of code of conduct.

You're starting early.

I'm not going anywhere. You know what I'm talking about. What's that supposed to mean?

It means you lost your last job because you're a drunk. It means your unemployment is running out soon.

And I hope it means you can see the bottom.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Paradise is a small town. I think you know I'm an expert on the subject. The subject? Being a drunk.

Well, you can't know how I feel.

Don't kid a kidder. I know how you feel.

Jenny's father isn't even a memory. You're her mother.

My mom died when I was 8. Mothers are important.

What's this? You can call it a voucher if that offends you. That's just say, it's a scholarship.

You can only use it in one place that's in there. His name is Dr. Dix.

There was a time I didn't like any part of me.

Now, on my good days, I'm okay. You don't have any good days.

You live long enough. You have regrets. And the ones that nag at you the most are the ones where you knew you had a choice.

Last time I saw Jenny, she had a mark on her left cheek. You right-handed?

If I see something, if I so much as feel something, I will come back here with my police chief hat on and you will go to jail.

And Jenny,

with regret,

we'll be on our way to a foster home.

Hello, Amanda. Chief Stone? Jesse. Mr. Fish is waiting for you, Chief Stone.

I know our last meeting didn't go very well and I see you're still upset. I'm sorry.

I questioned your intentions. You asked me why and I said I've kissed a few frogs in my day. Are you a frog, Jesse?

I don't think so.

Perhaps, you'd let me make it up to you over a cup of coffee.

There's no education in the second kick of a mule.

I see.

We're going to have to wait for a few more minutes.

I'll be right back.

[SIGHS]

Perhaps you'd let me make it up to you over a cup of coffee.

There's no education in a second kick of a mule.

[BEEPING]

I'm very sorry, Amanda.

Just coffee.

Jessie?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Jesse Stone.

Do you know Fish?

We remember each other's names after all this time.

Two years.

You've been counting?

Where have you been?

Fighting crime.

I've missed our little talks.

As have I.

New digs.

Keep moving forward.

It's a little like changing your password.

Have you heard from Hasty Hathaway?

I know of no such person.

That's not why you're here.

Do I need a reason?

You always have a reason, Jesse Stone.

With Hasty gone--

I know of no such person.

--but the disappearance of this Mr. Hathaway, Paradise

has remained remarkably crime free.

I am doing some house cleaning for state homicides.

You're taking odd jobs.

This job isn't odd.

It's what I do.

The Boston River murders.

An unspeakable horror.

Thankfully, those murders were solved.

The murder of Mavis Davies is an open investigation.

But the killings have stopped.

Everybody says that.

I need a favor, Gino.

Well, there's your reason, Jesse Stone.

I need a name.

Who's running the top call girls in this town?

We've known each other a long time now.

Clearly, I have no need for call girls.

I know that.

Perhaps on your dark side.

I'm just a boxing promoter.

Perhaps in the course of doing business,

a client had a need.

That would be illegal.

You're enjoying making this difficult.

The reward is always in the journey.

Mavis Davies was carved up while she was alive.

If the killer is still out there, this could happen again.

I'll see what I can find out.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

June?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I came here--

You came here with a good reference,

or we wouldn't be talking.

I was--

Just a minute.

OK, let's get something straight here.

I operate a legitimate escort service.

Now, if one of my girls chooses to go extracurricular,

that's on them.

Understood.

Mavis Davies.

That was horrible.

She was a nice kid.

Well, you know, I can tell you, she wasn't

working for me that night.

I didn't think so.

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Did you know she was married?

No, I don't want to know anything

about my girl's private lives.

Was there ever any kind of incident with any of her clients?

No.

Totally satisfied customers.

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Select escorts.

Oh, no, I'm afraid that she doesn't work here anymore.

Perhaps I could suggest someone else.

I see.

Well, please, try us again.

A gift that keeps on giving.

Charlotte.

She was one of my best girls.

But she was very close to Mavis, and the murderers just absolutely

just freaked her out.

Yeah, she quit.

Do you know where I might find her?

All I can say is that it was a client who thought

that we saw her.

She was hostessing for some beachfront cafe up the coast.

Quite a step down, huh?

Do you have a picture?

I can do better than that.

Tell me about Mavis.

She was my friend.

She always had time for me.

And in my former line of work,

friends are irreplaceable.

Did you know she was married?

I did.

After a hard day at the office,

we would always have a drink and talk.

After telling men what they want to hear,

it's a way to decompress.

Right before you lost your friend,

what would you talk about?

We would tell each other about our lives,

our private lives,

but at a certain point,

she would always just cut it off.

Like, there was things that she just wanted to hold private.

She said that she was going to get a divorce.

She had been seeing someone.

[ Exhales sharply ]

And she was in love,

which is a common ambition in our profession.

Not a client.

No. No. Mavis was way too smart for that.

She did tell me that he was married,

he had kids, and that he needed time.

Could I talk to him?

I don't know him.

That's where she would always cut it off.

All I know is that he was a cop

and that he was trying to find a way

that it wouldn't hurt his feelings.

It wouldn't hurt his career.

Maybe you can just tell me the "why" of that.

He got her a puppy.

She never let it out of her sight.

How's Detective Leary doing with this?

He's pretty consumed with it. I brief him every day.

Every day? You close?

Not particularly. He's good at what he does.

I mean, he did break the Boston Ripper case.

Well, Richard Steele confessed.

Haley brought him over from Vice.

I know.

Why do you know?

What's a good homicide detective doing work in Vice?

Paying penance. Apparently he had issues.

What issues?

I know you, Jesse. There's more behind this than how's he doing.

Humor me. What issues?

Apparently he couldn't keep it in his pants.

His wife -- a real piece of work, by the way -- blew the whistle on him.

She's prominent in the community, comes from a lot of money.

She goes right to the supervisor of detectives.

Why do you know his history?

Mavis Davies had an arrest for prostitution, but no charges were filed.

It was when Leary was working Vice.

So?

So if I could connect Mavis to Leary,

it means he knew her well before she was murdered.

This isn't tracking. Oh, yeah, it is.

Because if he did know her, he certainly never told anybody.

Did he arrest her?

Her file shows the arrest, but not the arrestee officer.

I think it's been scrubbed.

You getting enough sleep?

I ain't never getting enough sleep.

Probably also scrubbed from NCIC. Check endlets.

Endlets.

National law enforcement and teletype service.

I don't have a teletype.

A lot of cops don't know it still exists.

I think they changed it to telecommunications.

I prefer teletype.

You are a dinosaur.

Can't scrub something if you don't know it exists.

My guess is, Mavis's missing toxicology report came back clean.

Why does that matter?
