Mystic River

Jimmy leaves Dave on the porch to shower. As the water hits him, Jimmy knows he contributed to Katie’s death in some way, but doesn’t know how yet. He finally weeps from the realization that Dave and her killer, not Jimmy, are the last to see Katie. He wishes he had been the last face she saw—that if she was destined to die, that she could have done it feeling safe and loved. He realizes that he loves Katie more than anyone else in his life and that knowledge—as well as certainty that Katie loved him too—gives him strength amid his grief.

Whitey and Sean arrive to Jimmy’s home and run into Dave grabbing his wallet from his car. Sean points out Dave’s swollen hand and Dave tells them he slammed it into the back wall while playing pool. Dave leaves and Whitey points out the dent on the front side, just like the car a witness from the bar described as seeing a mysterious man in. The cops also agree that they don’t believe his story about his hand.

Celeste, who had volunteered to go through Katie’s closet to find the dress Annabeth wants her to be buried in, overhears everything the cops say about her husband.
