Jim hits the parking lot and his cell phone rings. It's Grace, and the news is not good: "I couldn't find either of their 1040s." Jim's not overly surprised, rationalizing, "Criminals frequently don't file." But wait! There's more! "I also did something else. I went to the federal database, and I did a 7C search on the entire town." Jim really clunkily explains away this development and reminds us just how "about math" this show continues to be, sounding alarmed: "That's the most exhaustive search we have, and only for the most serious issues we face. I've certainly never done one. I don't think anyone in our office has ever done one." He thinks on it: "Ira okayed it?" No. She asks if he wants to know what she discovered and please sweet baby Jesus get on with it. Grace: "No one in Push, Nevada has filed an income tax return in seventeen years." The camera pulls back and leaves Jim standing alone on the sand, holding his phone all dumbfounded. If anyone's looking for me, I'll be doing a 7C search on this episode's script, looking for trace elements of interesting dialogue that might have accidentally blown off a nearby Sopranos script that shared a table at Coffee Bean.
