ABC Blurb
Ben Affleck, Oscar-winning co-writer of Good Will Hunting, and Sean Bailey, his executive-producing partner on breakout hit Project Greenlight, take another bold step in the re-invention of modern entertainment.

A mild-mannered IRS agent travels to a remote desert region in search of missing money and stumbles into a strange small town where mystery, danger, and peculiar characters lurk around every off-kilter corner. Everyone in Push has a secret, but no one is talking … unless they're telling our man to get out of town, fast. Every word, every sign, every gesture holds a clue toward solving the riddle of Push, Nevada. Each episode has new puzzles to follow and solve, along with a dazzling array of guest stars. In a next-generation twist on reality television, if one viewer can put the evidence together at the end of a multi- episode arc, they'll win the missing money that everyone is after.

Uniquely involving, provocative and offbeat, Affleck's and Bailey's groundbreaking concept and sharp writing are destined to turn Push, Nevada into television's latest hot spot.

Season One

1. The Amount (OAD 09/17/02)
   It's a day like any other for Jim Prufrock, investigative agent for the Carson City branch of the IRS. His secretary, Grace, greets him with a message from his ex-wife asking for the alimony check Grace already sent her. Jim sighs and sits down to his desk to face more of the ordinary. But when a mysterious fax arrives from the Versailles Casino showing a "sizable accounting error," it marks the end of Jim's air-conditioned, logical life. Jim calls the listing on the fax — Silas Bodnick, who chews Jim out and gives him no more respect than he would a common telemarketer. Jim takes it personally and sets out for Push to get to the bottom of it.
   
   The heat distorts the vision of Jim's Rambler passing by Joshua Trees on the empty highway. He breaks down and is picked up by B.R.B., a trucker who elucidates the danger of the desert heat and the hot loving of his new wife he met at Sloman's. After leaving his car at Job's Auto Repair, Jim gets his room which a stand-alone trailer at Martha's Boarding House. She is strange and pseudo-selective, but his trailer is surprisingly nice, as if they decorated it to suit his tastes perfectly.
   
   Jim walks to Sloman's Slo-dance Bar where he meets Mary. She explains the concept of paying for dance and conversation, that she doesn't know Silas Bodnick (though she looks over at him drinking and smoking with a girl on each arm), and that Jim should take "slow, careful steps" because there is a secret in Push.
   
   Next, Jim checks out the Versailles Casino with its overtly kitschy recreation of Royal France. He barges into Bodnick's office to be brushed off in the same gruff, condescending manner. Jim tells him it's not his obviously crooked accounting that concerns him, but the fact that a large amount of money is missing like this and now one would care. When Bodnick threatens him, Jim counters with a vehement declaration to bring him to justice for the sake of all the honest, hard- working citizens who are shouldering his portion of the tax burden.
   
   Jim relates the details of his investigation to his supervisor, Ira Glassman, including what he read in microfiche articles — that Watermark L.L.C. bought the Versailles Casino in 1984, gave big pay outs, and turned around Push's dying economy. A nervous little man, Ira brushes it off and tells him to come on home, obviously carrying out the wishes of the men in suits bearing down on his desk.
   
   Jim walks through town that night and sees through the windows couples starting their foreplay at nine o'clock exactly. He goes to Sloman's in search of Mary. She gives him a dance under the condition that he go home. Yet Jim persists.
   
   Bodnick listens to a pointed message from Jim to cooperate by sundown. Then a well-dressed man enters his office. It's his boss from Watermark L.L.C and he is not pleased with the damage Bodnick has done to Watermark's tenuous relationship with the IRS. Bodnick is terrified by his boss's intimidation tactics.
   
   Bodnick plans to skip town with an unknown woman and the money he has in a safe in his house. But first he must deal with Jim. He lures him to his home and pulls a gun just as a tattooed man in a mask appears, kicks the gun out of his hand and stabs him to death. Jim watches, speechless as the man lights the house on fire and commands, "Get the hell out of Push, Jim Prufrock."
   
   Jim finally heeds the advice everyone has been giving him and passes the "You Are Leaving Push" sign toward Carson City. Something clicks inside of him, and he turns around and starts back to Push on a mission.
    
2. The Black Box (OAD 09/19/02)
   Dreaming of the strange events that have occurred in the last few days — the fax, Mary, almost getting shot by Silas Bodnick then seeing him killed — Jim is rudely awakened by Martha yelling, "We don't sleep past seven here." As he calls Grace to tell her about the murder, his gaze is drawn to Mary undressing in an adjacent trailer. He averts his eyes, but when he glances back there is a sign on the pulled shade, "Meet Me Tonight @ Sloman's."
   
   Three well-dressed men in three black sedans cruising through the desert discuss the exposure risk of the missing money in a conference call, concerned with how this will upset their higher- ups. At the Versailles Casino, an idiotic middle manager shows the three men the safe. They learn the security camera is heat sensitive to an external body temperature above 80 degrees, a little over a million dollars was taken, and a bible is missing, which worries them the most.
   
   Jim reports the murder of Silas Bodnick to Sheriff Gaines — a man set on not working and perpetuating his ignorance — and his ditsy deputy, Dawn. He shows them the site of Bodnick's burned home. The three well-dressed men appear, posing as a specialized branch of the Gaming Commission, and label it a suicide. Gaines is more than happy to hand it over to them and dodge writing the report. The three men stay at the site and uncover Bodnick's safe with neither the money nor the Bible inside.
   
   Recognizing the ineptitude of the Sheriff's department, Jim takes the investigation on himself. He stops by Job's Auto Repair where he meets Caleb Moore who is shivering in a knit hat and parka in the midday heat. The simpleton reveals all to Jim. His inability to maintain "hemeostasis" allowed him to slip by the video camera, after a substantial ice bath, and take the money from the safe. Bodnick promised him a romantic meeting with a certain woman, but she hasn't come by yet.
   
   When Job arrives, Jim admires his extensive tattoos and questions him about a man with a serpent tattoo, saying he saw him kill Silas Bodnick. Job tells him where he can find the local tattoo artist. Jim finds the artist in a trailer bedecked with heavy metal imagery out in the middle of the desert. It becomes apparent that the tattoo artist is dedicated to his art and that his patrons/victims are at the whim of his bizarre emotional state. If Jim wants answers he's going to have to get ink.
   
   Mary finally shows up at Caleb's to give him his pay back. After seducing him to whisper the location of the money, she leaves him naked and handcuffed to the bed frame. Jim sees Mary at Sloman's telling Shadrack, the eccentric desert artist, to go to Demonhead Flats. Jim presses her about her involvement with Bodnick while she drops more flirtatious warnings to get out of Push and exposes his vulnerability for his ex-wife.
   
   Jim checks out Demonhead Flats, but the area is covered with hundreds of searching flashlights, all government types looking for the money. The three well-dressed men have beat him to it by studying the surveillance video of Mary seducing Caleb.
   
   Jim next finds Caleb under a blanket of ice, brought to a quick death by someone's crafty placement of an ice crushing machine. Sheriff Gaines arrives with Dawn to declare it another suicide and does not appreciate Jim's interest in the case.
   
   Jim gets a call from Darlene, his ex-wife, from a cheap motel room. She's not asking for money, just sounds vulnerable and misses him, but when he hears the boyfriend in the background he hangs up pissed and ready to face the tattoo artist with a newfound vehemence.
   
   The artist pulls off Jim's shirt and sets him in the chair, insisting that he carry out his vision before he'll talk. Jim submits for the sake of his investigation and screams with the initial buzzing incision.
    
3. The Color of . . . (OAD 09/26/02)
   We catch up with Jim Prufrock in the tattoo chair, biting on a peyote-laced belt to endure the pain of each careful letter being inscribed on his back. Between hallucinating a childhood memory of his father and the distorted details of his time in Push, he catches the name, Oswald Wilkes. He then finds himself awakening in his room with a mirror image of "Death & Taxes" stamped on his bed sheet by his bloody wound.
   
   At the funeral for Silas Bodnick, Jim gives one of his pressed, monogrammed handkerchiefs to Delilah, B.R.B.'s wife, and one to Mary — a mark of gentleman he learned from his father. Mary is typically both cold and alluring as she walks away to Shadrack who is pushing his grocery cart of desert junk pieces. He had been digging in the desert earlier, avoiding the binoculars of the three well-dressed men. Jim sighs at the flat tire on his Rambler. B.R.B. gives him a ride once again while Delilah wedges herself as close to Jim as possible in the cab.
   
   Jim reveals Oswald Wilkes as the name of the man with the serpent tattoo on his arm and, therefore, the killer of Silas Bodnick, but Sheriff Gaines refuses to care and Dawn is absorbed by Push's inane morning talk show. Jim vows to take the case on himself with a renewed tenacity.
   
   Grace calls to say she did the search Jim asked her to, and that neither Bodnick nor Wilkes have filed 1040s. Then, she said she went one step further by doing a 7C search on the federal database for the entire town of Push, the most exhaustive search you can do. No one in Push has filed an income tax return in 17 years! Jim is floored.
   
   Based on more microfiche research, Jim believes Wilkes may be linked to Sloman's Slo-Dance Bar. He strikes out there and when he asks for Mary, the misogynistic bartender decries her lewd promiscuity and lists all the men she's slept with including Bodnick. Jim tries to mask his disappointment.
   
   Still recovering from the feverish peyote hangover, Jim notices B.R.B. unloading laundry crates into the Versailles Casino. He recalls the small change transactions ($3.40, $1.50, etc.) he saw on the delivery record in B.R.B.'s cab and wonders why he needs laundry crates for that kind of money.
   
   He finds Martha, the proprietress of the boarding house, waiting in his room. She cares for his tattoo wound and shows a tenderness unseen before. Her handkerchief she used on his back has his father's monogram on it.
   
   Ira threatens termination if Jim doesn't return to work and claims Grace performed the 7C search incorrectly, producing the wrong results. Men in suits hover over his desk during the phone call.
   
   At Job's Auto Repair, Oswald Wilkes prepares to take Jim out with a sniper rifle while he talks on his phone to Grace and his ex-wife who is currently in his house. The three well-dressed men have Sloman call off the hit in the nick of time since it would raise too many questions.
   
   Jim spends the next four hours in the Versailles Casino, counting cards and utilizing his mathematical prowess to discover a big secret: the casino pays out 62% of the time. The casino isn't even trying to turn a profit. He corners the gutless middle manager and, with the three well- dressed men watching on surveillance, promises to return with a team of his own to "take this town apart number by number, ledger by ledger, brick by brick."
   
   On his way out of town he finds one of his handkerchiefs has come back to him in the ashtray of his car. It has a map drawn on it like child's pirate treasure game. He can't ignore it and turns back toward Push. He digs for a while by the marked Joshua Tree and finds not money but the body of Oswald Wilkes just as Sheriff Gaines and Dawn appear on the scene. He is arrested and stuck in Push indefinitely
    
4. Storybook Hero (OAD 10/03/02)
   Jim Prufrock wakes up in jail to a $900,000 bail and a mousy court appointed lawyer who couldn't argue his way out of a paper bag let alone clear Jim of the murders of Oswald Wilkes, Caleb Moore and Silas Bodnick. Luckily, the IRS sends one of their own, Jamison Jones, a very capable, sharp defender. He is the only one besides Jim that has recognized that "dunces" populate Push. Finally, Jim has someone on his side. They piece the story together. Whoever drew the map on Jim's handkerchief that led to Wilkes' body framed him. Whichever woman doesn't have the handkerchief, Delilah or Mary, is the one who set him up.
   
   Delilah wipes her tears on his monogrammed handkerchief as she sets dinner on the table for B.R.B. The clock hits 9:11 pm and he methodically crawls under the table to silence her attempt at dinner conversation. Mary powders a black eye at Sloman's bar just as she is escorted to Sloman's office. Sloman replays the conversation of she and Bodnick scamming to leave town with the money. Sloman plays a mind game with her, then tells her, "My heart is blacker than ash, my soul an insatiable black hole," bringing her to tears as she anticipates her punishment.
   
   Sheriff Gaines interrupts Jim's meeting with Jamison and gladly throws him into a prison truck headed for Vegas. Jim plays imaginary chess with the two hard-looking criminals that can't wait to corner the "white bitch," being Jim's queen and Jim himself. The truck stops and Jim is saved by bail, posted anonymously.
   
   Jim meets the town coroner and funeral director, Eunice Blackwell, as she is sipping a martini and conversing with dead bodies in their coffins. She conducts herself like a an old movie star from the 30's and she lets Jim know that Oswald Wilkes does not want to talk to him. Also, 1984 was a banner year for Blackwell's Mortuary. There were eight suicides and countless fatal accidents the year the Versailles Casino was bought, including Shadrack's wife and kids in a house fire. She states Wilkes time of death as 10:15 pm by a blunt object, probably held by a leftie.
   
   Jim and Jamison try and find hard evidence that Jim was at the Versailles Casino at 10:15, but the surveillance tapes have been doctored. The image of Jim is gone. Driving through residential Push, Jim notices that every dad comes home at the same time and is greeted in the same ritual of two children and the wife running out for a big family hug. Delilah comes running out to return Jim's handkerchief.
   
   Grace, now suspended, pays a visit on the bondsman responsible for Jim's bail and coerces him with her new handgun to give up information on Jim's mystery sponsor.
   
   At Sloman's, Jim confronts Mary about setting him up and her involvement with Bodnick. He then goes after Sloman and tries to pin him to the murders and the stolen money. Sloman rams him up against the wall, saying, "I made this town. I own this town. And right now I own you …" As soon as Jim leaves, Sloman call the three well- dressed men. They won't take care of Jim yet because they want to find out who is helping him (the fax, the bail). Sloman promises to find that out before he disposes of him.
   
   Mary bribes a cemetery worker to dig up Bodnick and the three well-dressed men spy as she takes the money, but can't find the Bible. Shadrack has it in his desert shack. As he investigates the bible a pattern is projected on the side of his tent indicating that the bible might contain a special code.
   
   Leaving Sloman's, Jim is zapped by a stun gun and thrown into a trunk. He is dragged out onto the desert floor and held at gunpoint under the demand that he reveal his true identity. He recognizes the kidnapper's voice. It's Dawn, the deputy sheriff, and she's not playing ditsy any longer. She doesn't buy the IRS agent story, and her trigger finger is getting impatient.
    
5. The Letter of the Law (OAD 10/10/02)
   While lying in the dirt outside of Push under the gun of a woman who has been posing as Dawn, the deputy sheriff, Jim sticks to his story — that he is an IRS agent who received a fax with evidence of an embezzlement. She decides to believe him, pulls her gun off of him, but warns him not to get in her way, or else. She is a U.S. Treasury agent out to nail Sloman. She's been tracking his smuggling operations for quite some time. She gives Jim the history and how Bodnick had been skimming money from the Versailles Casino for Sloman on a regular basis. Jim still wants to know why the casino pays out 62% of the time. This detail does not concern her or the Treasury Department.
   
   Grace charms her way onto a private jet, listed as the address of whoever posted Jim's bail. All she finds is a symbol in place of a company name which she then faxes to Jim.
   
   While Jim drives through residential Push, noting how everyone gets their mail at the same exact time, Delilah invites him in for tea and breakfast. As he fishes for information on her husband, B.R.B, she overtly comes on to him. Jim puts her fire out by standing to his principals of not being party to breaking the covenant of marriage.
   
   Meanwhile, Mary has been trying to deflect Sloman's threats until she can find out what Shadrack did with that "book." Sloman demands the money by sundown and makes her promise she'd never leave him.
   
   Dawn, posing as the deputy, meets with Sloman to set up a deal going down the next day with one of his suppliers. She assures him that Prufrock knows nothing.
   
   Shadrack delivers the $5 sculpture Jim purchased. Jim does not see that the Bible is built into it. Jim finds Mary on the porch at Martha's Boarding House with a suitcase by her side. He knows she didn't set him up of her own accord and wants them to help each other. Mary turns him down once again. He's the nice guy, the decent guy, but that is his weakness here in Push.
   
   Jim drives down a main boulevard in Push. He sees it go from "ghost town to boomtown and back again in the course of an hour." Locals spend money like crazy and deposit large amounts of cash into the local bank. Jim uses his badge and financial jargon to get access to the bank's financial statements. They are missing critical paperwork, do not give loans or even get applications for loans, and deposits outnumber withdrawals ten to one. The manager dodges Jim's questioning through an oozing smile and pulls the silent alarm. Dawn, the deputy, is there in two seconds to drag Jim out and put him in his place. She'll be switching the ankle cuff he got when he made bail to a radius of 10 feet and confining him to his room so he doesn't screw up her sting.
   
   Mary arrives at Shadrack's with a gun and an attitude to match. She is set on getting that Bible since it contains what she needs in order to leave town. Shadrack tells her it's gone, but she searches through the rubble made by the raid of the three well-dressed men anyway. With no more options, Mary brings the money to Sloman, but he wants "payment" for the interest that accrued. She is disgusted and defeated as she starts to undress in front of him.
   
   The three well-dressed men look over the seven Bibles they found at Shadrack's. They will let Sloman have his shot at Jim now that they think they have the right book.
   
   Dawn meets with Sloman again to present the faulty lotto tickets — all winners — they will use in the deal tomorrow. Sloman tells her to bring Jim along and, not to worry, he won't be a witness because he won't leave the scene.
   
   Grace gets back to Jim on the two background checks he requested. Dawn's service record with the Treasury Department is littered with reprimands and grievances, including a temporary suspension for almost getting an informant killed. Sloman has a long criminal record that began at age 14 with manslaughter. He was married to a woman who died of cancer and had a daughter named Mary.
    
6. S.O.S. (OAD 10/17/02)
   Jim is once again dreaming of being trapped in the trunk of his father's car as a boy. He starts to panic and thrash against the metal hood, but is pulled out of the dream by Dawn knocking on his door. She takes him to an empty highway under the guise of community service litter-clearing and informs him he will have to accompany her on "the buy" per Sloman's orders. Shadrack wheels his cart of junk past them, acting crazier than usual, and fervently whispers to Jim, "Don't just look Prufrock, see."
   
   Stuck in his room due to his anklet, Jim does what he can to save his skin. He sends out a mass email describing his case and calling on anyone (students, housewives, cable subscribers) to dig further. He studies Shadrack's sculpture and recalls his ranting, "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink." It comes to him: Watermark Consolidated. He calls his lawyer, Jamison Jones, to tell him to look into Sloman and Watermark and expect the email and a package of evidence supporting his innocence, including the hankie, the fax, and photos of the sculpture. Jones seems uninterested. Jim uses a hacksaw he finds in the sculpture to saw off his ankle band.
   
   The three well-dressed men are shaken by the email that they figure will create about 600 potential new threats. They are fed up with their research team that predicted, to 100% accuracy, Prufrock would have gone away by now. They are clearly dealing with someone different and killing him is no longer an option. They instruct Sloman to call off the hit, but Sloman answers to nobody and, much to the three suits dismay, has grown weary of their business partnership.
   
   While questioning Shadrack about the meaning of the sculpture, Jim was lucky enough to see the three men's sedans dusting past. By trailing them to a gas station, he retrieves a credit card slip left in the fuel pump. He calls the number on the slip and learns it's a Watermark corporate account. An employee in the surveillance center the three well-dressed men spend much of their time, catches Jim's call. This is a significant leak for them.
   
   Jim finds more in Shadrack's sculpture: a model of a silver big rig … just like B.R.B's. Then, Mary shows up at his door in a sexy red dress. She awkwardly flirts while Jim pushes for information on Watermark and B.R.B. She says B.R.B. does indeed deliver for the three well-dressed men. She gets him to leave with the bait of an informative journal in her room, then steals the Bible from the sculpture.
   
   Jamison Jones reviews the photos of the sculpture at Watermark headquarters. Who can Jim trust? Jones is obviously a powerful node of Watermark. He catches the Bible in the photo, plus it's absence in the live feed to Jim's room. He takes control and wants Mary found and deeper background on Jim. The underlings reveal the source and breadth of Jim's tenacity and stringent adherence to absolutes. Following the suicide of his father, he withdrew from all activities except math and SAT drilling, finding solace in his small black and white world of unbending rules. Their conclusion: he cannot be stopped, persuaded, or reasoned with.
   
   Jim finds a delivery slip with an address in B.R.B.'s trash. When he reaches the warehouse and sees B.R.B. with one of the well-dressed man, he gets another call from Grace in the middle of her suspension review. He is obligated to state the truth for the panel as the three men approach him ominously. Dawn appears just in time, and with the broken ankle band as a prop, whips him out of there.
   
   They drive to a quarry to find Sloman holding a bag of cash. The supplier arrives with a bag of 550 winning lotto tickets. Sloman forces Jim to scratch one, then orders Dawn to kill him. The excuse will be that he stole a winning ticket and skipped town. She yells at him to run and shoots him twice in the back, making sure to hit the protective vest. Sloman wants a head kill, so she volunteers. She walks to Jim who lies prone in the dirt and sights her pistol on his head, "Sorry, but you have to die, Prufrock."
    
7. Finale : Jim's Denial (OAD 10/24/02)
   We catch up with Jim lying face down in the dirt, waiting for Dawn to pull the trigger. When Sloman shoots Wesson right between the eyes to demonstrate, it gives Dawn the chance to turn her gun on Sloman. They shoot each other in the chest. Saved by bullet- proof vests, Sloman rises first and prepares for another duel with Jim who has picked up Dawn's gun. Suddenly, an IRS chopper ascends from below the quarry wall and Jim and Dawn are saved.
   
   Agent Smith of the IRS explains to Jim and Dawn how the nearly botched sting was due to three divisions of the treasury department all going after Sloman without communicating. Smith is part of a task force that tracks dirty money from the five biggest mob families on the East Coast. The town of Push and Sloman were obvious money dumps, but they are still trying to figure out the mechanism by which money is being laundered. They expected the mob to send a mule to the Versailles Casino to win big. Jim sets him straight. The mules winning in the casino, don't know they are mules. They are naοve Push locals who spend their pay-outs right back into local businesses owned by the mob. Sloman, the mob's link to the town, gets a cut: a million and change every quarter.
   
   According to Agent Smith, Watermark is just a shell of a company, set up so that Sloman could operate anonymously. The three well- dressed men are merely thugs sent by the mob to keep the residents of Push in line and Sloman honest.
   
   Dawn is satisfied that her work is done and Jim can finally leave Push, but he still wonders about the one person who didn't keep quiet -- the one who sent the fax.
   
   Meanwhile, Mary leaves the Bible for Job to hide. She's weary of always watching her back and since the whole town thinks Job cannot tell a lie, he is the one to keep the secret.
   
   When Jim opens the door to his room, he finds Delilah on his bed in royal blue bustier talking about the waffles he never got to taste and throwing herself in his arms. Jim runs out just before B.R.B. comes and shows his brutally domineering nature. Jim bids farewell to Martha and she leaves him with a bowl of chicken soup for the road and a hankie in his pocket.
   
   In his farewell to Mary at the Slo-Dance Bar he gets a kiss on the lips. It seems she genuinely cares for him and does not want their dance of secrets and intrigue to end.
   
   Jim arrives back at the Carson City IRS office to a promotion at the expense of Ira Glassman, a new office, and more money. Mitch Mann from the Provo office gushes over Jim and seems willing to give Jim more autonomy, just as soon as Jim writes up the final report on Push, Nevada. Darlene shows up at his promotion party all bubbly and ready to rekindle the marriage. Jim is nonplus, especially when he learns she's been living in his house this whole time.
   
   He tries to convince Grace to come back to work for him, but she is wary of this sudden "great opportunity" and is still perturbed over the accusation that she did a faulty 7C search on all of Push.
   
   When Jim arrives home, he finds his house redecorated thanks to his alimony checks and Darlene in a sexy dress with a steak dinner cooking. He is incredulous. She took the message he left her to heart -- that the years spent with her were the happiest of his life. Jim tries to backpedal saying he said that under fear of losing his life. They were the happiest, but they were also the saddest. Darlene tells him a heart wrenching story of watching a happy family at a gas station, sobbing for the future she lost with Jim. Jim ultimately takes her back, though apprehensively, and the three well-dressed men watch through a window as Jim and Darlene undress each other at 9:15 on the dot.
   
   After a frightening, surreal dream combining the trunk of his dad's car and the tattoo experience with Darlene, Delilah, and Sloman gambling at the Versailles Casino and talking about waffles, Jim wakes up to Darlene making waffles and acting eerily too perfect a wife. He escapes to the office to finish the report, but is still bothered by loose ends. Who sent the fax? Who paid his bail?
   
   He seeks out Grace at indoor shooting range to confirm what he found in the Push, Nevada tax returns recently sent to his office. The IRS changed fonts from Courier to Times Roman in '93. The tax returns are from '92 yet they are typed in Times Roman. They've been forged! The conspiracy goes much higher than Sloman. Grace agrees to come back under certain conditions.
   
   Back at home, Jim lets Darlene pamper him and seems content until he takes the handkerchief out of his pocket. Jamison Jones catches it instantly on surveillance: it's Jim's father's!
