Jesse Stone: Lost Innocence (Original title: Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost ) is the seventh episode of the nine-part television film series Jesse Stone .
action
Councilor Hanson has appointed his son-in-law, William Butler, as chief of police in Paradise, and Jesse Stone has been fired with no severance payment, even if he doesn't want to admit it. When it becomes known that Cindy Van Aldan, a young woman he had met earlier and for whom he felt responsible, is said to have committed suicide, he interferes against the wishes of the new police chief, whom he can't stand he does not want to investigate a murder case because that would bring undesirable headlines. He lets his friend Captain Healy hire him again as an advisor to the Boston Homicide Department. There a young man was believed to have committed a robbery, but Captain Healy doubts his guilt. Jesse can confirm Healy's doubts and finds out why the young man protested his innocence but refused to give his alibi to exonerate himself: he had raped a young woman elsewhere at the same time as the robbery.
Captain Healy learns that Jesse Stone has misused his badge to investigate the death of Cindy Van Aldan because of complaints, and so Stone loses that job, Healy trying to protect Stone from the consequences of his actions. But following his "cop instinct", Stone finds out that Cindy Van Aldan was made addicted to drugs by a nurse in a dubious Boston addiction clinic and then forced into prostitution. Jesse learns from Gino Fish and sister Marie John that this carer is an unscrupulous Russian mafioso named Siminov who has repeatedly forced young women into prostitution with this "scam". Jesse sets a trap for him by pretending to seek the services of a "young Russian woman". He seizes Siminovs, sends the alleged Russian, who is an American teenager, away and tries to intimidate him with threats. Captain Healy warns Jesse that the trafficker is extremely dangerous and will seek revenge. However, Jesse had speculated on this: In the "Showdown" he shoots Siminov when the latter breaks into his house to kill him.
In the subplot, Jesse Stone has had an affair with Thelma Gleffey, who is Hasty's secretary and works part time as a singer; the affair develops into friendship and the beginning of love, even if Jesse Stone has not yet got over his ex-wife. But Jesse is also saddened to discover that he lost contact with his friends after his release: Both Rose Gammon and Luther Simpson have resigned, as was to be expected. Rose got divorced, sold her house, and moved away. It is bitter that Cindy Van Aldan tried in vain to reach him by phone shortly before her death.
background
The plot of the seventh film in the series is set between Without Regret and In Doubt for the Defendant . D'Angelo, Dr. Dix and Dr. Perkins and Molly Crane only play a supporting role in this episode, or they no longer appear.
After his divorce and his discharge for drunkenness on duty with the homicide squad of the Los Angeles Police Department , Jesse Stone finds his last job as police chief in Paradise, Massachusetts , a small and seemingly quiet port town in New England not far from Boston . Despite his alcohol problems, he is appointed by the city council as the new chief of police. However, it quickly turns out that life in Paradise is by no means as heavenly and non-violent as Jesse Stone had hoped, especially since the majority of the city council let the businessman and former banker Hastings "Hasty" Hathaway persuade them to appoint Stone because he made him likes .
Jesse Stone is the boss of a small team: Molly Crane, later Rose Gammon, and Luther "Suitcase" Simpson, who quickly overcome their distrust of the supposedly stubborn but jovial alcoholic and become friends, as well as Anthony D'Angelo, who had expected to be Police chief to be appointed. The city council tries again and again to interfere in the work of its new police chief, so that the relationship is very tense from the start and only improves with the eighth episode of the television series ( Jesse Stone: In Doubt for the Defendant ) .
Captain Healy, the head of the Massachusetts State Homicide Division, becomes a friend of the police chief, as does Dr. Dix, psychiatrist and former cop with alcohol problems. Dr. Perkins, a pediatrician, has been named local medical examiner by Jesse Stone. Other recurring and storyline characters include Jesse Stone's ex-wife Jenn, with whom he stayed in touch over the phone, the seedy businessman Gino Fish, and Sister Mary John, a nun who works with young women and a "list of good and." bad people ”leads.

Reviews
“His seventh case as a mature investigator isn't the strongest, but Selleck wrote it himself. Respect."
"As always, Jesse Stone, played by Tom Selleck, proves himself in his seventh case as a stubborn lone fighter who solves his cases with rough charm and a few glasses of whiskey."
