A suspicious police cruiser explosion kills chief Butler and officer DeAngelo ( Vito Rezza ). Curiously, the former town council president, Hastings `` Hasty '' Hathaway ( Saul Rubinek ), appeared to know about the incident before the current town council president was officially notified. Jesse is reinstated as `` temp chief '' by Hansen and uncovers apparent ( but unproved ) police corruption involving Butler. Jesse discovers a possible clue : the characters `` 2AH10 '' written on the April 24 page of Butler 's desk calendar. Jesse attempts to reassemble his team, starting with his deputy Luther `` Suitcase '' Simpson ( Kohl Sudduth ) and then longtime assistant Rose Gammon ( Kathy Baker ), but both have moved on to other pursuits after choosing to not work with Jesse 's replacement, thus Jesse is left to solve the case himself. State Homicide Commander Healy ( Stephen McHattie ) also returns, along with Jesse 's psychotherapist Dr. Dix ( William Devane ). Thelma Gleffey ( Gloria Reuben ) also remains in Jesse 's life, and continues to work as a sales associate at Hasty 's luxury car dealership. Gino Fish ( William Sadler ) is still in town as well, also still apparently in the illegal drug business while using his boxing business as a `` front ''. Along the way, Jesse discovers that the most likely perpetrator of the cruiser explosion, a former associate of Gino, has apparently hanged himself. He learns from Amanda ( Christine Tizzard ), Gino 's executive assistant, that Gino `` has a boss '', whose identity is a mystery. An otherwise routine traffic stop adds an additional clue : there is an assassin, Arthur `` Art '' Gallery ( Robert Carradine ), who has been following Jesse. Despite finding a `` deer rifle '' in the car 's trunk, Jesse lets the man go with a warning : `` Do n't follow me around ! '' The flashlight which was attached to the barrel of the `` deer rifle '' would have been illegal for hunting game, a deer, but would be quite helpful, if not mandatory, for the assassin 's assumed purpose, the killing of a man, and Jesse made a mental note of that. To integrate all these seemingly disparate clues and to get to the truth, Jesse employs `` carefully applied pressure '' to former town council president and felon Hasty ( and ultimately exposing Hasty as the true drug kingpin and Gino 's boss ). After Jesse asks Hasty about the 2AH10 clue, Hasty panics and calls his people, telling them they have to `` move it up '' ( presumably Jesse 's murder, but also the scheduled April 24 drug sale ). The events are rescheduled for later that day, although a daylight murder / drug sale is risky for all involved. ( `` Risk is the price you pay for opportunity '', to paraphrase Hasty 's orders to his people. ) At the shipyard, Gallery tries to murder Jesse using his `` deer rifle '', but Jesse tricks him into exposing himself to deadly force and he proceeds to take him out with five shots from his. 45 ACP semiautomatic pistol, which is always at Jesse 's hand. ( To paraphrase Jesse, from an earlier episode, `` Fire at the center of mass and continue to engage until the threat is eliminated. '' ) Hasty hastily escapes via motor boat, and is now `` on the run '' and wanted for drug distribution, money laundering and conspiracy to murder sworn officers and others. In the end, Simpson returns and it is implied that Rose may return as well. As Jesse has proved Hansen 's beloved son - in - law to be corruption - free, it is also assumed that Jesse 's position as chief is permanent, and not `` temp chief '' as Hasty preferred to call him. ( When Jesse initially accepted this assignment, he replied to Hasty, `` Not ' temp chief ', just ' chief ' '', and Hansen did not demur. ) The title `` Benefit of the Doubt '' refers to Jesse 's ( and Dr. Dix 's ) belief that police officers who appear to be corrupt must be accorded the benefit of the doubt, until proved otherwise.

According to Selleck, this may be the last Jesse Stone film seen on the network. Selleck, however, said he is not finished with the Stone character. Selleck also commented that the Jesse Stone movies for TV are expensive to produce and that he had his `` own money '' in the last two, which accounts for his being credited as executive producer. Reception In his review in The New York Times, Neil Genzlinger wrote : `` The film is in no hurry to reach its not - hard - to - guess resolution, but that 's the way this series has always been. It 's as if Mr. Selleck ( was ) personally keeping alive a slice of television history in a much faster - paced world. '' Jesse Stone : Benefit of the Doubt was watched by 12.93 million viewers, the highest viewership of the night it aired.
