You think there's

a definite pattern?

(SIGHING) Well,

we talk every day.

You and Healy?

No. Not me and Healy

I'm paying you 180

bucks an hour, right

Correct.

Well, I was wonderin

when we could get back

to the reason I called.

Your wife.

Ex-wife. I'm not

talking to Jenn anymor

You're not talking

to Jenn anymore today.

I'm not talking to

Jenn anymore, period

Did you talk to

Jenn last night?

Yes.

But you're not

talking to her anymore.

That's correct.

What if she calls you?

She can't.

You mean she won't?

No, I mean she can't

Why not?

I had a seminal moment.

Don't turn around.

Nobody's watching.

They could be.

Small town. I'm not

allowed to talk to you.

Maybe we just bumped

into each other, small tow

I'm still not

supposed to talk to yo

For the record,

I called you, Suit.

Your phone's out of order.

How do you know

my phone's out of order?

The information's out

there. All you have to

do is let it in.

You didn't come here

to give me donuts, Lou.

I'm Jesse.

Of course you are.

So, how you doing, Chief?

I'm not the Chief.

Sure you are.

I'm the Temp Chief.

Do you introduce

yourself as "Temp Chief"?

No.

Well, there you go.

So how you doing with this

convenience store thing?

I can't tell you

Paradise is close

to the main highway,

access both in and out.

I know that.

Easy mark for a pro.

I got a feeling

it's a non-pro.

You got a feeling.

Could have been a local

with a drug problem.

Could have been.

Either way,

those kind of robberies

are almost impossible

to prevent and just as

impossible to solve.

I know that.

The clerk died.

You need more people.

The Town Council

won't let me

hire anyone else

Because?

My sense is

they're planning on

bringing you back.

I don't think so.

Something will pop up.

It doesn't always

happen that way, Suit.

Just in case.

That's just between

you and me.

(PHONE RINGING)

Paradise Police Department,

Officer Gammon.

Is this thing working?

Yes, Jesse.

I can hear you perfectly

Rose, did you get

the computer-enhanced

pictures of the robbery?

Oh! Yes, I did.

Who called?

My mom.

Afternoon, Chief Stone.

Afternoon, Elizabeth

(CAR ENGINE REVVING)

You're on the wrong

side of the street.

Well, you're not on duty,

are you, Jesse?

No, I'm not, Cissy.

Where you headed?

Home.

Hop in.

I'm going that way.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(WHISPERING)

Did you see that?

I forgot something.

You won't mind waiting?

It's hot in here.

It is.

How's your place, Jesse?

Remote.

I'm sorry. We did

have financial issues.

Remote's good.

I don't have

your cell number

I don't have one.

Sit down, Jesse.

This might take a whil

I was wondering

if you'd considered

my offer.

And what offer

would that be?

We were dancing.

You said you liked

my dress.

I said I wasn't

wearing any underwear,

and then I suggested

we have some nice,

uncomplicated sex

with nothing at stake.

And what did I say?

I think you said, "Wow,"

at which point

your girlfriend cut in

What was her name?

Abby. That was

a long time ago, Cissy.

I didn't ask when.

I asked if you'd

considered it.

Often.

The offer stands.

Sounds like a contract.

We run into each other,

it's never spoken of,

but it's there, you know

Are you wearing

any underwear now?

What do you think?

I wasn't sure.

I can't.

I know you want me.

Of course I want you.

I'm not dead.

You're involved

with a friend of mine.

Hasty and I are divorced,

as you well know.

"Convict's wife"

was not something

that fit well on my resume.

I'm talking about Suitcase.

Suitcase?

Luther.

Luther and I are

just good friends.

He's interested

in my business.

I'm sure he is.

What'd you forget?

Excuse me?

You said you forgot something.

What'd you forget?

I forget.

(SIGHS)

I think I'll walk home.

Jesse.

It's there if you want it.

Wow.

JESSE:
So I was

going through my...

ROSE:
Options.

Yeah. And the phone shut off

So I tried to

turn it back on,

it said to enter

my unlock code

So I entered my unlock

code and it shut off.

What's your unlock code?

"Reggie."

"Reggie" is your password.

Same thing.

It's not the same thing.

Your unlock code

is a four-digit number.

It's your address.

Oh.

That's why you didn't

get my messages.

What messages?

I left you four messages.

You turn it on, it tells you.

Yeah, but I can't

turn it on.

So he wouldn't

talk to you?

He said he couldn't.

And why can't you

hire anyone else?

Luther says it's

cause they're going

to reinstate you.

Well, they're not.

He says he had a feeling.

He gets a lot of those.

Feelings aren't

enough, Rose.

I know that.

What's wrong?

Did you call Healy?

I did.

Did you ask him

to hire me?

Don't do that, Jesse.

It doesn't become you.

Does Suit confide in you?

More and more.

Well, you need

to help him.

I don't know how.

I do, but you're not

supposed to talk to me.

I don't care about that.

You're not supposed

to talk to me.

I don't care about that.

Call me?

Or call me.

HASTY:
There's no way

to repair it.

(SIGHS) Looks pretty

good to me, Hasty.

I'm talking about your Scout

The boys can't fix it.

Can't find parts.

I mean, how long did you hav

that thing up on blocks?

Couple of years.

(LAUGHING) Well,

it's hopeless.

You're living on

the Atlantic Ocean,

Jesse. Rust.

Well, I didn't think

about it. LA is a desert.

Course the insurance compan

doesn't know it's hopeless.

Maybe we could arrange

a little accident.

You know,

your Scout could

have caught fire.

You fought

through the flames.

That would be

illegal, Hasty.

You're not

my parole officer.

I'm not insured.

Oh.

Well, this thing is

way beyond your means.

I was admiring.

Ah.

I think I've got maybe

just the thing for you.

Follow me.

I see you found

your bow tie.

Yeah, Cissy boxed

everything up the first

day I was in prison.

The day I got out,

there was an envelope

waiting for me

with a storage room

key in it.

What'd she say?

Oh, no, no.

There was no note.

Sweet.

She won't return my calls.

Could you turn

that thing off?

Oh. This is it.

Jesse, have you seen Cissy?

No.

You don't think

that I still think...

Cause I don't think...

What do you think?

About Cissy?

(SIGHS) About the car.

Can't afford it.

Oh, Jesse, you know

I'm very fond of you.

Hasty,

every time you say that,

something bad happens.

Can I test drive it?

Sure. Take it around

the block for a spin.

Actually, I was hoping

I could test drive it

for about a week.

He shouldn't be that hard

to find an owner for.

You just never try.

That's not true.

You never wanted to.

It's understandable.

You know, you got a divorce.

You had to put your dog down.

Isn't that right around

the time your girlfriend

was murdered?

Yes.

Existential despair.

That sounds awful.

Numbness of the heart.

I'm a psych major.

You were a psych major.

Don't you think

it's time you went back

and finished school?

(GRUNTS) That's a big step.

Not really, Emily.
