Scene 1:
[ Boat Rental Outfit in Wisconsin ]

[ Jake is talking to the owner, Doyle, while Simon checks out the speedboat he found ]
>> Jake: So how many -- how many months exactly are you -- are you open here?
>> Doyle: I already told you, it's not open at all anymore. Look, if you're hoping I'll come up with something about that guy you were asking all the questions about, you can forget it. You're wasting your time. I've already forgotten name.
>> Jake: Grimaldi. Damian Grimaldi. You're right, you're right. I am looking for info on that guy. See, two of the people that were on that boat were very important to me. If there's any chance that they got off it, that he and his young son are still alive --
>> Doyle: Look, buddy, I don't know how many times you want me to say this and how many ways, I've never heard of the fellow that you're talking about. Now, when I come back here, you best be gone. I don't have time to stand around all day
[ Doyle leaves and Simon comes back to report on the boat ]
>> Jake: Charming fellow. Did you get a look at that speedboat?
>> Simon: Yeah, I pick the lock and slipped inside.
>> Jake: Well, you're a man of many talents. Any -- any -- you find anything that shows that Holden and Luke may have gotten out of the explosion?
>> Simon: It's a long shot, but I think I have.

Scene 2:
[ Boat Rental Outfit in Wisconsin ]

>> Jake: All right, what'd you find?
>> Simon: Yes.
>> Both: Bingo.
>> Jake: Lollipop.
>> Simon: Lollipop. I know it doesn't look like much.
>> Jake: No, it doesn't look like much. It looks like something a kid would leave on any boat at any time anywhere.
>> Simon: It wasn't just left anywhere on the boat. It was stuck to the back of the driver's seat. I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say I think this is some kind of signal sent by Holden.
>> Jake: I won't go out on that limb with you.
>> Simon: All right?
>> Jake: It looks like a lollipop! You don't have kids, do you?
>> Simon: No, I don't, but what's that got to do with anything?
>> Jake: I have kids. I have toddlers. And the other day, I was gonna tape a ballgame. And I went to put a tape in, only the tape wouldn't go in because there was a cheese sandwich in there. What, you think that's some kind of signal?!
>> Simon: All right, okay, okay, fine. Maybe it's nothing, all right? But I still think we should tell Lily.
>> Jake: For what? She'll want to stick us in a rubber room.
>> Simon: Listen, listen, we know that Damian had this phone number, all right? We also know that the owner of this shack has suddenly come into some very, very major dough. All right, you already agreed that it's very possible and very likely that Damian paid him for the use of his boat to get away from the explosion. Now, this -- this could be Holden's way of sending out a message to his family. Lollipop.
>> Jake: Okay, look, I know where Lily is, all right? She feels like she's drowning. I'm not gonna be the one to throw her a life preserver and then yank it back. Look, it's late. I gotta get to the memorial service. I promised I would be there with molly and Abigail.
>> Simon: I'm gonna stick around here, ask a few more questions. Maybe the owners of the other boats know something or saw something.
>> Jake: Unless you come up with more than a green lollipop, don't bug Lily!
