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.
