"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."

"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?"

"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?"

"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 ÿÿthat 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."
