"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."

"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?" "I wasn't 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." "That sacrifice would be?" "My work wasn't finished." "Your first three were black, Mavis was white." "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." "well, the dinner is on a friday." "Oh, of course." "Excuse me, father." "Ah." "Hello, Jesse." "We on for tomorrow night?" "We are." "If you think it's a bad idea," "We don't have to." "Do you think it's a bad idea, Jesse?" "Why would I think it's a bad idea?" "Okay, listen," "I'll see you tomorrow night." "Where are you, Jesse?" "Nowhere." "Sorry." "Understood." "Didn't eat your steak." "I'm afraid I can't." "My sense is, you're thinking about reggie." "Kind of." "You were the first on the crime scene that night." "What'd you think" "When you saw reggie sitting next to his owner's body?" "I wished he could talk." "Dogs can't talk." "Jenny's mom's a mess." "How bad?" "She was drunk." "Not falling down drunk," "But just the same." "Believe me," "I know what I'm talking about." "Do you now?" "I've seen it in my mom." "I see." "Any time her mother talked about Jenny, there was an edge." "Do you think she knows why you were really there?" "My sense is she does not." "Then she doesn't." "What do you want me to do next?" "Get me everything you can on the mother." "On it." "Steak." " You checking up on me?" " Jesse." "You checking up on me, Jesse?" "No." "I'm just sitting here, thinking." "You ever talk to your father?" "I don't know who my father is." "Okay." "How's school?" "School sucks." "Lot of things suck." "What happened?" "My mom loves me." "Say it like you mean it." "I hate it there." "You hate it where?" "Home." "I wouldn't want to make you late for school." "I need a car." "I got you a car." "It's leaking oil" "And overheating." " Not my job." " Might have something" "To do with being pushed off the road back to paradise." " You had an accident?" " I'm not sure." "Tell me something, Jesse." "You don't look as though I could, Sydney." "Is there something I should know?" "Could you run down the car for me?" "Did you get a license number?" "I always get the license number." "Car was stolen yesterday morning." "I guess that explains the hit and run." "And you have reason to believe it wasn't an accident." "I didn't say that." "Could you pull up Mavis Davies?" "There was no toxicology report in her physical file." "Not here, either." "The M.E. implied he did one." "Implied?" "As much as said so." "He is steeped in bureaucratic belligerence." "Your point?" "I think it's been scrubbed." "Oh, Sydney." "No, Jesse." "Yes, boss." "Not ethical." "I was just reminiscing." "Getting back to reality for a moment." "I will only go as a visitor." "I talked to Richard Steele again." "Any insight?" " Other than" "I needed to take a shower?" "He's relentless." "Insists he had nothing to do with Mavis' murder." "Yeah, tell me something I don't know." "If you don't like the answers you're getting," "Check your premises." "Most hookers are junkies." "The streets are rough, their pimps are rough." "Why'd you want to know?" "You know more hookers than I do." "That came out wrong." "I know what you meant, Jesse." "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." "How's business?" " Robust." "Funds are not," "But we have our angels." "Gino fish is a benefactor, but he's no angel." "No, he's not." "At least in the biblical sense." "It's good to see you, Jesse." "And you." "It's been a while." "It has." "How you doing with the nun thing?" "Doing good." "I'm good." "Honestly?" " Please." " Well," "There are times-- this is stupid" "When I hear this voice in my ear, and it turns out" "To be my sunday school teacher sitting on my shoulder." "What's he say?" "Honestly?" "Again, yes." "He says, "you sure as hell" ""better have a damn good reason for this 'cause you're not supposed to have dinner with a nun."" "We enjoy each other's company." "That's a good reason." "Thank you." "You gonna finish that?" "It was delicious, but no." "You believe in fate?" " No." " I think I do." "You think?" "Know but can't prove." "The dog speaks to me." " Dogs don't talk." " No," "But he's speaking to me." "When I see this picture" "Of a dog who kind of looks like reggie" "Sitting next to his owner's body-- well..." "What's this dog's name?" "Steve." "Unusual name for a dog." "It is." "If you don't like the answers you're getting," "Check your premises." "Did you tell me that?" "I don't think so." "I must have thought it." "You're talking a lot today." "Going easy on me?" "There's a hard part." "Your cop hat still on?" "It is, and we have some time." "Okay." "The murders have stopped." "That seems to be enough for a lot of people." " Greenstreet?" " I don't think so." "Murders could have stopped for a lot of reasons." "Okay." "What have you got?" "I got Richard Steele." "He's a sick son of a bitch, but he seems" "To have some sort of code of conduct." "I hope you're not looking for a motive." "It'll drive you nuts." "We can't know." "And the guy's doing life, so what difference does it make?" "Clearly, a lot to him." "It's not uncommon" "For a sick son of a bitch like him to have a standard." "Don't chase this, Jesse." "The dog speaks to me." "You're not walking" "The street when you're walking the dog." "If you're not getting the answers you want," "Check your premises." "All the victims were prostitutes." "Steele confessed to murdering three." "Steele had to commit the fourth murder" "Because no one else knew the killer's methods." "The last one is a false assumption." "Some people knew." "Yeah?" "Mrs. O'neill?" "I'm not married." "I'm Chief Stone." "I know who you are." "Can we talk?" "I got nothing to say." "I'm not here" "As a police chief." "This is just between you and me."

"Well, I mean, all I can tell you is she wasn't working for me" "That night." "I didn't think so." "Did you know she was married?" "Uh, no." "I don't want to know anything about my girls' private lives." "Was there ever any kind of incident" "With any of her clients?" "No." "No." "Totally satisfied customers." "Select escorts." "Uh, oh, well, no, I'm afraid" "That she doesn't work here anymore." "Perhaps I could suggest someone else?" "I see." "Well, please, uh, try us again." "The gift that keeps on giving." "Charlotte-- she was one" "Of my best girls." "But she was very close to mavis, and..." "And the murder just absolutely just freaked her out." "Yeah." "She quit." "Do you know where I might find her?" "All I can say is that there was a client" "Who thought that he saw her." "You know, she was hostessing for some beachfront café" "Up the coast." "Quite a step down, huh?" "Do you have a picture?" "I can do better than that." "Hi, I'm Mavis." "I know it's hard to meet new people." "I know because I'm in the same..." "I know it's hard to meet new people." "I know because I'm in the same situation." "Maybe we could talk over a nice dinner." "Call me." "You can reach me at elite escorts." "Hi, I'm Charlotte." "I know it's hard to meet new people." "And I know" "Because I'm in the exact same situation." "So maybe we can talk about it over a nice dinner?" "Call me." "You can reach me at select escorts." "Excuse me." "Can I sit anywhere?" "We're a little ahead of the season," "So take your pick." "Can I get you something?" "You doing double duty?" "We're new, and it's my place." "So, yes." "I'd like a cup of coffee, charlotte." "That's not my name." "What is your name?" "Amelia." "Do you have a last name?" "Yes." "Do you have a name?" "Jesse." "And do you have a last name?" "Stone." "Are you a cop, Jesse Stone?" "Do I look like a cop, Amelia?" "You look like a man who asks questions." "Well, I have another question." "It's a hypothetical." "Suppose I were a cop and you were a Charlotte," "You'd know I was here" "About Mavis Davies." "That's not a question, Jesse Stone." "The killings stopped." "That seems to be enough for some people." "But it is not justice for your friend" "If the killer is still out there." "I am a cop." "I'm good at what I do." "There is no part of me that thinks this is over." "Hope your business gets better, Amelia." "I just wanted to say hi." "You miss me?" "Like I would a bad cold." "That's sweet." "It's nice that we've become friends." "You going home?" "I hate it there." "You hate it there" "Because you have to be the grown-up." "I talked to your mom." "About me?" "About her." "Yeah." "My mom has issues." "Your mom loves you." "But you're gonna have to be the grown-up" "For a little while longer." "I can do that." "I know you can." "I know you don't like me." "I didn't say that." "Can you trust me, Jenny?" "Can i ask you a question?" "You can." "Would you tell your friends about my place?" "Could you do that?" "I could." "Do you have some time?" "I don't open till 11:30," "So yeah." "Cops have problems with professional escorts." "I never said that." "I don't." "Why'd you call me?" "I couldn't sleep last night." "Something I said?" "Do you really think that somebody else killed her?" "I do." "How do you know?" "I don't know, I think." "Do you think that I know?" "I do not." "But you know things that I don't know." "Was she still alive when he...?" "Yes." "The things that must have been going through her head." "Don't chase that." "That's not" "Somewhere you should go, amelia." "That's my job." "Will you help me?" "Yes." "Yes." "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..." "You know, 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." "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-a cop" "And that he was trying to find a way" "That 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." "A red setter mix named Steve." "How'd you know?" "I just know." "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "You satisfied yet?" "Not hardly, sydney." "They locate the stolen car" "That pushed me off the road?" "They have not." "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." "Healy brought him over from vice." "I know." "Why do you know?" "What's a good homicide detective" "Doing working 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 arresting officer." "I think it's been scrubbed." "You getting enough sleep?" "I never get enough sleep." "Probably also scrubbed from NCIC." "Check NLETS." "NLETS?" "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' missing" "Toxicology report came back clean." "Why does that matter?" "It matters to Richard Steele." "Stay right where you are." "Mavis Davies." "Arrested in february of last year." "No charges filed." "Arresting officer..." "Detective Daniel Steven Leary." "I checked the booking blotter" "At the precinct where leary worked vice." "The page was torn out." "No charges were filed." "He let her go." "I think he fancied her." "All we know is he knew her." "Daniel Steven Leary." "He gave her a puppy." "She named him Steve." "Okay, then let's just throw him in prison." "Sydney, she was in love with the guy." "I think she was becoming a problem for him." "I want you to lock him out." "You want me to lock him out." "Yes." "As of now, I will work on who pushed me off the road." "Look, he knew Mavis" "And went to great lengths to hide it even after" "She was murdered." "And he knew the specific m.O. Of the killer." "I'm just saying." "It would take a cold bastard to do to Mavis" "What was done to the other three." "Premeditated murder's cold bastard work." "Morning, suit." "Morning, Jesse." "Thank you." "Donut?" "They're copiy." "My body's a temple." "How are your classes going?" "Classes?" "Oh, my classes." "Very well." "Very fulfilling." "You're working on something in Boston." "I feel it in my cells." "I kind of am." "In between classes." "Why do you do that?" "Do what?" "You withhold." "Why?" "I'm not sure." "I talked to Jenny's mom." "Thank you." "And?" "I think Dr. Dix put a dent in her denial." "She wants to go to rehab." "That's a good thing." "Says she can't afford it." "She's on scholarship." "Can you afford it?" "I'll have to." "She doesn't know what to do about Jenny." "Just love her." "They might put her in a foster home." "they could." "She's worried." "It's about time." "Well, time for me to lie in wait." "Speed trap?" "For the greater good." "I hate these things." "Amelia Hello, Jesse Stone." "I got your text." "I can meet you before work, but I can't be there at 10:00." "I got to pick up supplies." "10:15 okay?" "I don't text." "It's Jesse." "Don't go to that meeting." "Stay away from there." "You're in danger." "Amelia?" " Yes." "It's nice to put a face to the name." "Jesse's talked a lot about you." "I'm detective Dan Leary," "State homicide." "Jesse's been detained," "And we had a break in Mavis davies' murder." "He asked me to take you to him." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I have to open up the café." "It's police business, please." "I'll just let my assistant know." "Please." "Okay." "Stop!" "I'll kill her!" "To what end?" "You're done." "You kill us both, you're still done." "Step away." "You son of a bitch!" "Some cases are hard, some are easy." "This one was easy." "He made it easy." "Did you have a choice?" "No." "That's one cold bastard." "you okay?" "Oh, you know me, Sydney." "Yes, I do, Jesse." "I'm gonna need a new car." "That would make three." "How's she doing?" "She's tough." "Wasn't about to become a victim." " It's sad." " What's sad?" "Richard Steele will feel vindicated." "I could care less." "He ought to be dead." "What are you thinking about?" "Mavis." "Where'd you learn that move?" "My dad." "He made me take self-defense classes." "Fathers are important." "Happens to cops a lot." "They control themselves, do what they have to do." "Afterwards, they become part of the debris." "See what I mean?" "Steve's my new roommate." "What?" "Mavis' dog." "Oh." "Maybe you'd like to come see him sometime." "I'd like that." "Thank you." "For what?" "Getting justice for my friend." "I know you must have a last name." "Hope." "Amelia hope." "That's a nice name."
