Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost Page #5

---

Coply intuition.

If I set it up,

will you talk to him?

I will.

Just one thing.

This time,

I want to be deputized.

You want to be a consultant

who's deputized?

It might be nice

to carry a badge again.

What's your name again?

Jesse. And yours?

You sure this is

police business?

Yes, ma'am.

State Homicide.

Because Rutherford

College doesn't reveal

this kind of information.

Not even to family.

What if the parents

were paying the bills?

The privacy and integrity

of Rutherford students

is paramount.

But since you're

with the government,

what would you

like to know?

- May I see that?

- I don't think so.

What would you

like to know?

How was Cindy doing?

Cynthia was unfortunately

showing a downward trend

in achievement

over the last year.

And, of course, she

dropped out of school

in the middle

of last quarter.

Could you be mistaken?

I don't think so.

Was anyone informed?

There's no need.

Her tuition was paid for

in advance,

and it's not refundable.

Why do you want to know?

She's dead.

Do you have any

other questions?

I don't think so.

Chief Stone.

Jesse would be better.

I heard, small town.

Did I miss your call?

I didn't call.

This would be about Cynthia.

Come in.

For a mother, the loss

of a child is so unfair.

I'm sorry I didn't call.

I got preoccupied.

Chief Butler mentioned

the possibility of suicide.

Cindy didn't commit suicide.

How do you know?

I just know.

You're not Chief

of Police anymore, Jesse.

Old habit.

You were friends.

We were friends.

There's just some things

I should know about Cindy

that I don't.

What happened with college?

Nothing happened with college.

After rehab,

she went back to school.

What about last quarter?

She seemed fine.

She was very involved in school;

she'd even met someone.

Did you meet him?

No.

Do you remember his name?

Of course I remember his name.

Cynthia met him in rehab;

his name was Val.

Do you know his last name?

No.

I know you don't think

much of me as a parent.

I didn't say that.

Have you talked

to Cindy's father?

I haven't talked to him

since the custody hearing.

- Has Cindy?

- I should hope not.

Does he know?

I assume so.

He's living in Singapore.

Had you talked

to Cindy recently?

Had you?

You're the guys

that put him away.

So, why should we

talk to someone

from State Homicide?

You don't have to.

Well,

we always want to

explore all our options.

But my client's not

going to be convicted.

We presented a very

strong defense.

Not that strong

if you're talking to me.

I've been looking over

their cross-exam.

I have some questions.

"We have you

at the crime scene."
