Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost Page #6

---

Svetlana.

Is she Russian or not?

I'm paying

for a Russian.

No, she is not Russian,

but she is young

and beautiful, is she not?

Are you a cop?

Why would you ask?

If I ask, you have to tell me.

Otherwise, it's

entrapment.

No, I'm not a cop.

Good.

You, of course,

have to pay in advance.

Then I will leave.

You're not gonna

stay and watch.

After you pay,

I will leave.

Actually, I was a cop.

A small town police chief,

but I got into a little trouble,

and I had to retire early.

Come on.

What's your real name?

Emily.

You have family, Emily?

Yes.

If you need to talk

to someone, call me.

Go home.

Please go home, Emily.

You a tough guy?

I'm tough enough.

Cindy Van Aldan.

Horrible tragedy.

I didn't kill her.

You might as well have.

"I bow to no man."

What's that about?

If your friends

could see you now.

You prey on kids.

You're thinking

about shooting me.

I am.

You can't kill me.

Why can't I kill you?

The hotel has your name.

Actually, I registered

under an assumed name.

Valery Siminov.

I paid cash.

You need to retire, Valery.

That's not in my plan.

Okay.

So shoot me.

I've been thinking about that.

Oh, this?

Just kidding.

Do you hunt, Valery?

No, I think it's cruel.

Oh. Well, here's

what I was thinking.

When you shoot a big animal

like a deer or an elk

with a high powered rifle,

you can shoot him

right through the heart,

and he still might run off,

sometimes for quite a distance.

The animal's already dead,

he just doesn't know it yet.

It's a good thing

animals can't think.

Now, people...

People can think.

I'm going to haunt you, Valery.

You won't know

when it's gonna happen,

but when it does,

you'll have time to think.

You need to consider

retirement, Valery.

I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Oh, and when you work

your way out of all that,

one piece of advice

for your own good:

Stay away from the mini-bar.

The judge declared

a mistrial.

How'd you do it?

Well, I just stayed at it.

You saved my life.

They said they'd make a formal

announcement later on today.

Then I can get out of here.

I don't know why not.

Charles Morris?

Am I free to go?

You're under arrest for rape

and assault perpetrated

on Mrs. Jane Francis

on February 4.

You have the right

to remain silent

and refuse to answer questions.

- Do you understand?

- He does.

Anything you say

may be used against you

in a court of law.

Do you understand?

- He does.

- You have the right

to consult an attorney before

speaking to the police...

Cracker Jack?

I got good and plenty.

If you decide to answer

questions now

without a lawyer present,

Thanks for this.

you have the right to stop

questioning at any time

until you talk to a lawyer.

Do you understand what I...

Yes, he understands.

I feel he has

issues, Jesse.

We both do.

You took off early.

I did.

Where's your Cruiser?

At the station.

What'd you need

to talk about?

Did Cindy commit suicide?

I don't think so.

But we don't know.

No, we don't.

He won't let me go

after it, Jesse.

I would expect

no less of him.

I want an answer.

I know you want an answer.

I may not find one.

I see it as my job not

to look the other way.

You quit, didn't you?

Numbness of the heart.

You do this for me?

For myself.

You sure about that?

I don't belong there anymore.

I feel it in my cells.

Does Rose know?

She understands.

She said she can't

afford not to stay.

You're a good cop, Suit.

You can hang your hat on that.

You going

after Tranquility?

No.

They didn't help her,

but they didn't kill her.

My sense is, you're going

after somebody, Jesse.

I want to help.

I'm not after anybody, Suitcase.

There are no place out there

for graft,

or greed or lies,

or compromise

with human liberties.

And if that's what

the grown-ups have done

with this world

that was given to them,

then we'd better get those

boys' camps started fast

and see what the kids can do.

And it's not too late,

because this country is

bigger than the Taylors,

or you, or me, or anything else.

Great principles don't get lost

once they come to light.

They're right here.

You just have to see them again!

Go on! Move it!

To the left!

Stop, Jeff! Stop!

I guess this is just another

lost cause, Mr. Paine.

All you people don't know

about lost causes.

Mr. Paine does.

He said once

they were the only causes

worth fighting for.

This is Jesse. Leave a message.

He knows who you are.

Well, that was stupid, Gino.

Don't turn around, Valery.

I don't think

you're gonna make it.

Good morning.

Paradise Police Department.

I'd like to report a shooting.
