Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise Page #6

---

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.

(sighs)

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 coply.

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?

(sighs)

I'll have to.

She doesn't know what to do

about Jenny.

Just love her.

They might put her

in a foster home.

(sighs)

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.

(beep)

(sighs)

Amelia (recorded):

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.

(beep)

(tires screeching)

(sighs)

(beep)

(recorded):
It's Jesse.

Don't go to that meeting.

Stay away from there.

You're in danger.

Man:

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 caf.

It's police business, please.

I'll just let my assistant know.

Please.

Okay.

(grunts)

(grunts)

(grunting)

Stop!

(whimpers)

(clicking)

(sniffles)

(whimpers)

I'll kill her!

To what end?

You're done.

You kill us both,

you're still done.

(sirens wailing in distance)

Step away.

(shouts)

(handcuffs clicking)

You son of a b*tch!

(panting)

(sirens chirping)

(indistinct police transmission)

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.

(sighs)

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?

Jesse:

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.

(indistinct police transmission)

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.

(sighs)

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.
