The Killing s03e02 Episode Script

Damn, Linden.
What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night, sneaking around in the dark? I was returning the file you forgot at my place.
That's where it was.
- Yeah.
- I've been looking all over for it.
I thought I lost it.
What are you doing here so late? You know, clock never stops.
Digging around down in storage halfway to China, still no Seward file.
Well, it sounds like you have a long night ahead of you.
Good luck.
You miss it? What? No, I mean, I didn't really look.
No? Not curious at all? Just opened it up, closed it real quick, brought it right back? Yep.
Stepping in that bouillabaisse at the factory nearly ruined my hush puppies, too.
Why did she get out of the car? She knows he's not bringing her there for sex not there.
Yet she walks right in.
She doesn't fight.
She doesn't run.
No ligature marks on her arms or wrists.
No sign of a struggle outside the scene.
Know he's got a knife, so maybe he's got a gun, too.
No one's outrunning a bullet.
Or else he knows how to control them because he's done it before.
Maybe there's a connection between this killing and the Seward job.
No.
No, their throats were cut.
That's it.
Look, your girl was outside.
Mine was in an apartment.
Yours is a teenager.
Trisha Seward was 30.
Yours was raped.
Mine wasn't.
And you closed your case three years ago.
Yes, we got the guy.
I'm thinking my guy took trophies.
Bunch of my girl's rings were missing.
Probably broke her finger pulling them off.
What do you mean, broke a finger? Snapped it in two postmortem.
Seward take any trophies? No.
Back to square one.
Yeah, well, good luck.
Hey, Linden.
Get them dogs cleaned.
That You Fear the Most Hey.
It's me, so leave me a message or whatever.
Hey, Kal.
It's me again.
Where the hell you at? Call me.
Yo, Kallie, wake up! Hey! Come on! Answer the door! - Kallie around? - No.
She said she was staying here last night.
Where's she at? I don't know.
I-I don't have time for this, all right? You mind? Bitch.
He isn't as fine as you.
Yeah.
No shit.
But his look, you know God, it's sick.
My look will be like that, you know, but sicker.
Going to those Hollywood parties, getting to eat fish off naked girls, getting free swag.
A lot of girls would be all up on you - models and stuff.
- Yeah.
Come on, Lyric.
Cut it out.
I'm not doing anything.
Leave me alone.
Hey.
Lyric.
Lyric.
Hey.
Hey.
No one's like you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You got snot and stuff everywhere.
I got to wash up first.
No, you smell good.
Hey.
I don't want you working today.
Mm.
Come here.
I got like 60 bucks saved.
Maybe, if you want, we could go see a movie later, get Chinese.
Yeah, all right.
But only if we see something scary, 'cause you a little scaredy-cat.
Well, you should have just given Jablonski the file, like we talked about.
This one's on me.
It's not like we had nothing to go on.
I mean, th-these girls, they got regular Johns, pimps.
Jablonski was up.
We would have been up.
Even money says the wife will be booked by lunch.
Yeah, it blows, but, you know, it's the job.
Come on.
Let's go.
Where are we going? There's a place down in The Jungle Beacon House, Beacon Home.
They take in runaways.
We might get lucky.
Jesus freaks.
Great.
I was talking to Linden about this case she closed.
Whoa.
- You talked with Linden about this? - Yeah.
There's a reason she's not a cop anymore.
I had a hunch came up empty.
Well, that's what you get when you learn from a bad first partner.
At least with Linden, you got to learn if the carpet matched the drapes, huh? Yeah, night shift ends, out to gas works park, - bend her over the hood - Hey.
- watch the sunrise.
- It wasn't like that, all right? - Hey, whatever you say, partner.
- Look.
I told you the name 10 times.
So, then, what's your problem, man? Kallie Leeds L-E-E-D-S.
Just look it up.
Jesus.
Damn, instant karma's a bitch, ain't it, little man? Look.
Have you seen this girl in the tombs? Is that your little lady? It's a nice ring.
You give that to her? Where did you find it? A gum-ball machine? Your friend's not in the system.
Didn't pick up anyone named Kallie Leeds last night.
Well, there you go.
She ain't here.
Case closed.
You are welcome.
Hey, Sergeant.
Official hanging procedures you believe this? No longer you hold the left leg, I hold the right leg.
We got to do homework to kill this asshole? This son of a bitch wants to be hanged.
I got a rope and a lawn chair.
What's the holdup? The academy didn't teach you how to get dressed? Sorry.
Billy started teething.
My wife's going crazy.
We're not really sleeping.
Yeah, well, that sucks.
Still, your focus has got to be right here.
- You do your eight, then you hit the gate.
- Yeah, yeah.
You just keep pounding them Red Bulls.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
anybody not take the needle.
Seward's turning this whole place into a three-ring circle jerk.
How many executions you done? Left arm twice.
Brown two years ago.
Elledge in '01.
Working an execution's like being called up to the show.
Open six! You're kind of like the southpaw of the rotation.
More like the specialist in the pen.
Hey! I want to make a phone call! Go shut him up.
Let's go! Open six! Open.
Opening six.
Copy that.
Closing six.
You know the drill, Seward.
Phone call's only after yard time.
I need to call my lawyer.
I thought you didn't have a lawyer anymore.
How old's your kid? What? Mine did the same.
Must be, what, uh two months, three? Four.
You got to take off your shirt when you burp them.
I saved a few of mine that way.
My lawyer's gonna help me see my kid one last time.
I got to talk to him.
Turn around.
Put your hands through the hole.
Well, look what the rain washed in.
Come on in.
Well, there's always pressure from somewhere, you know? But, uh, I'll leave the politics to the politicians.
You know, heading up special investigations it's it's where I belong.
You still take your coffee black, Sarah? I do.
Thanks.
So, uh, how's, uh how's civilian life treating you? It's good.
Yeah, I love the island.
It's really been a change for the better.
Well, you look good.
I'm happy for you.
Now, I must have been off the street too long.
I mean, I assume this is why you're here? Aren't that many cops who know what it's like having one of their guys executed.
I always had questions.
You know that.
Well, you worked a solid case out.
The DA thought so.
The 12 members of the jury did, too.
But nothing's 100% not in our line of work.
You know that.
Trisha Seward's finger was broken postmortem.
I went back through the case file.
It was, uh, her ring finger, but we never found a ring on her body or at the crime scene.
Yesterday, a working girl was found in West Seattle with her throat cut ear to ear, just like the Seward woman broken finger, missing jewelry.
Finger broken, jewelry missing.
It's a stretch, I know.
But what if there's a connection? What if Ray Seward didn't kill his wife? Yeah.
Seward called me here today, at my home.
That's right.
He invited me to his execution.
He said, "Bring the wife, the kids, and a bag of Ding Dongs.
" He requested hanging which he'll have.
Yeah.
I should go.
Please tell Jen thanks for the coffee.
Those aren't the actions of an innocent man, Sarah.
I just want to be sure we're executing a guilty one.
Stay away from us.
I've forgiven him, but I don't ever want to see you again.
What's going on? I mean, I thought we had a good thing, Sarah.
Last night, and then some guy shows up, - and you - You don't know me.
What? I break things.
I do I break them, and they don't ever get fixed.
But this thing, this one thing Sarah.
I can help.
Just let me help you.
Sorry.
What is it? Seattle PD.
We've got some questions about this kid Ashley Yo! It's the police! Open this damn door! I'm gonna need to see some identification.
Whatever you say, Padre.
Got some questions about a girl one of yours.
Ashley Kwon.
Happy to have a convo after I see some ID.
All right, you want to see some ID? Here you go.
Hey.
What's with the security, Padre? Some of the girls' pimps or ex-boyfriends come in here, claiming to be family or social workers or whatever, trying to take them back.
Yeah, okay.
So, the last time you saw Ashley Kwon was five days ago? Yeah, she had a bed here for a few nights, - then she went awol.
- Huh.
You don't seem too surprised about how she ended up.
Well, after being here a few years, there's not a lot of surprises left.
That's Ashley? Yeah.
Did she have a pimp? Run with the street family? I don't pry into their lives.
Beacon is a safe space.
No questions asked.
They can come here, and they can be kids again, even if it's just for a few hours.
That's the most recent photo I've got.
We've been asking around all the usual places.
Do you know anywhere off the grid where Ashley might have stayed? Uh, there's a motel off 99 Queens.
I know she's stayed there before.
It's kind of a last resort for some of the kids if they can't get a bed here or the other shelters.
Thanks, Father.
Yeah, and to answer your question, Detective, if I don't keep track of these kids, no one will.
And it's "Pastor," by the way.
So you're just the light at the end of the tunnel.
No, the light at the end of the tunnel is the train that's speeding towards them.
I'm just trying to pull them off the tracks.
All right.
All clear.
Lucky number seven.
Last time you got to piss in front of me.
I know how much you're gonna miss it.
So, you've been doing really good.
How's everything else? Look like you lost some weight.
You been eating? Yeah.
Every day.
Probation's almost up.
We got to start thinking about the next move.
Did you, um, check out any of those GED classes I talked to you about? No, not really my thing.
No, as soon as I clear this, I'm heading to LA, doing some modeling and acting.
Yeah, the problem with dreams is that they stay dreams, not reality, for most.
Remember, you got to be the one to make things happen, so stay clean, focused, and, um, I'll see you next week with the results.
Sweet.
Yeah, when Twitch starts modeling, he said we'll have lots of money and we won't have to pull dates anymore.
He said you could come with him to California? Hell, yeah, he did, like he was begging me.
"Please, baby.
Please, please, please.
" And I was like, "Okay.
Maybe.
" Hey, Lyric, you looking fine, girl.
Don't run away from me, bitches.
I got a limp.
Okay, be like that.
You're all you're all you're all teeth, anyways.
That's why you only suck dime slots and high-schoolers.
Yo, what's up, guys? What's up, Bullet? Any of you guys seen Kallie around? Hey, shorty.
I seen Kallie.
Where? Where?! Candy aisle.
Chicken-head slut got her throat cut.
- Now she a PEZ dispenser.
- Do you want me to kick your ass, huh? Is that what you want? You better get up out of my face, bitch.
You gonna shoot me? Is that what you're gonna do? All right, Goldie.
Come on.
Shoot me.
Pull the trigger.
That's what I thought.
You're nothing but a punk-ass pussy bitch.
I got more balls than you.
Okay.
Y'all know we're just joking, right? - You better watch your bitch ass.
- Yeah? You better watch yours.
You get one.
Look, I take full responsibility.
Shut your mouth.
You get one.
You get one screw-up.
The first one that's on me.
But the next time you break protocol, that is me on you.
Do you understand? Seward said he was gonna call his lawyer.
He didn't call his lawyer.
He called a cop.
A cop, Henderson! What did he say to you? He said that, uh, he wanted to see his son.
- He asked me about Billy.
- Aw, that's sweet.
So, just the two of you swapping baby tips like two daddies in a playground.
Open it.
Go get the other guy.
Tell him I want to order a Meat Lover's pizza.
"Chapter one.
Essentially, execution by hanging is strangulation effected by restricting the executee's air supply at the neck, unconsciousness occurring between two and four minutes, and death within 10, resulting in death by asphyxiation.
" That's not needed.
You're a-a better man than that, Francis.
Sit your ass down, Dale.
Unless you want to be jacking off to memories of your girlfriend, go sit down.
Hey.
Hey.
I knew a Jimmy Becker.
He's a guard at Cedar Creek.
Is there any relation? Hmm? Of course there is.
It's a family business prison guards and racecar drivers.
Well, get on with it, Francis.
It was just getting good.
"Depending upon the equipment used, there will be some physical trauma to the executee's body.
A mathematical miscalculation can result in" Last exit to nowhere.
Why can't these kids ever find a place with a bar? If we crap out here, I'll buy the first round, all right? That make you happy? Just knock.
They'll probably let you watch.
Hey, mamacita.
Seen this girl around? I'm a cop investigating a homicide.
That jog your old-ass memory? Honey, I don't care if you're six cops.
I watch shows.
You need a warrant if you want to bother me.
Put the damn specs on and look at the picture.
On second thought, um, you know, me and my partner here we need a room.
You know, we work together, but we You got an ice machine? 'Cause we're gonna settle in real tight and spend a few days making sweet, sweet love.
You know, when my big old bear over here, when he when he gets started on that vibrating bed, he never wants to leave.
That's what I'm talking about.
Give me a smile, mama-san.
Yeah, that's it.
I like it.
Never seen her.
Yeah? 'Cause we got a witness says our dead girl was here two nights ago.
Kallie said that? Kallie was cussing up a storm in the parking lot a couple nights ago, and I had to boot her out, and now she's trying to say I know some dead girl, which is a damn lie.
I try and help these kids, and this is how they repay me.
Need to check my balls for lice after going in there.
That girl at the station this morning she was looking for Kallie, thought she was missing.
Your dime, your choice.
Kallie got thrown out of here, she'd have to walk this road back.
It's the only way back to The Jungle.
I mean, t-those kids might have seen her.
Clock stopped 45 minutes ago.
Come on.
We're here.
W-we got to talk to them.
Thought you were gunning for your stripes, being smart, putting cases in the black.
Now we're looking for a missing girl that's not even missing? We're here, all right? It'll take a couple of minutes.
Go, go.
Just go.
Have a talk.
Get in, or I'm leaving you.
I knocked a couple times, but I brought some leftover cake.
Ellen wanted it off the boat.
She said she lacks self-control.
I say live a little, but Just say it.
Say what? I have about a million times.
I mean, you're gonna do whatever it is that you need to do, and nobody's gonna convince you otherwise.
Adrian drew that over and over after I found him in the apartment.
He'd been trapped there for six days with his mom's decomposing body.
I never told you that part.
So, now you're gonna drag him back into this, make him relive it all over again? It's almost four years.
In that time, he's been in and out of foster homes.
He's not you, Sarah.
He doesn't need you to save him.
But he deserves to know the truth.
Will that make it better for him or just you? Open seven! Where's Skinner? He's not coming.
Yeah, then you're wasting my time.
But he couldn't care less about you.
Yeah, I remember you from the trial.
You're his partner.
I was.
Why do you want to see him? 'Cause he lied in court.
He called me a coward.
He said I was weak.
There's nothing weak about holding down a woman and sawing through the muscles, the tendons, in her neck, all while she's looking up at you with her windpipe cut, trying to breathe.
So you tell Skinner that I want him to be here.
I want him standing right there when they put the noose around my neck.
And tell him that I want him to look me in the eye, 'cause then we'll find out who the real coward is.
What did you do with your wife's ring? What? Your wife.
Her finger was broken postmortem.
You took her ring.
What did you do with it? I pawned it.
- Where? - At a pawn shop.
Which one? Your son, Adrian, just kept drawing this over and over.
Why? Why? Guard.
I don't have a son.
And my lawyer's gonna hear about this, too! It's cruel and unusual! No right moving me around! Man, you two woods just like the judge! I was railroaded! B&O and short line! - Turn around.
- Didn't want you to get lonely, Ray.
Hey, and I want my books, too.
I want my books.
You know them dumbass boys down there in "D" can't read anyhow.
Aw, damn.
Is that Ray Seward? Is that Mr.
Big Noise? Ray.
Ray.
Hey, man, everybody up in here got your name in their mouth.
Man, I don't know who's trending more, you or Jesus.
Look, I just need some advice.
Know what I'm saying? I'm just trying to figure out how I can work these fools, you know? I got my Pardon Board coming up.
I wrote my own motion of appeal.
You want to hear it, man? I got it right here in my head.
Let me give it to you.
Hey, crime fighter.
Hey.
Hmm.
"Serenity.
" Mm.
Sounds like a stripper's name.
Yeah, actually.
I should get that removed.
Uh, yeah.
That, okay.
Um, we need to talk.
Toothbrush is the first step.
And next, it'll be your clothes.
And then your friends, and then I'm gonna make you get me a ring.
And a dog, because what I really want is a kid, but but I don't want to scare you off, so I have to take baby steps.
Seriously, it was an an old white-elephant gift.
Did you just, like what, y-your old one? It's right here.
It's right here in the drawer.
- You know, Marty The Molar - Okay? gave that to me in third grade 'cause I had proper flossing technique.
Ah, yeah.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So sweet to me.
I got a new "Untamed & Uncut" on the DVR.
What? Oh, double white shark attack.
Oh, snap.
No joke.
I'll get the microwave popcorn ready.
And keep the tat.
It's hot.
"After chemicals are applied to one side, repeat steps three to six.
" All right.
Check it out.
What are you doing? Oh, damn, this stuff's itchy as hell.
You spent all our money on this? What? I thought you said we were gonna lay low.
I didn't spend it.
I invested it.
No, this is an investment.
Well, the sooner I get my head shots, the sooner I start modeling, the sooner the money comes rolling in.
Huh? I know what I'm doing.
- Yeah.
- Yeah? Okay.
Well, look, um, you know, we're still gonna need some walking-around scratch, you know, just for now.
I was gonna pull a date tonight, but I got to let this stuff settle.
You know, it's what the pros use.
I got to leave it in all night.
It's okay, baby.
I can go out.
Oh, Lyric, girl.
You're the best.
Now you want to help me do the other side? Yo, Lyric! You seen Kallie up in here? Ever heard of knocking, Bullet? Oh, shut up.
No, didn't see her.
Why? 'Cause no one has.
She ain't picking up her phone.
She ain't at Beacon or the bridge.
She's gone.
She'll show up.
Don't worry.
Oh, Goldie's been turning out a new girl at his pad.
Yeah.
Didn't know? What are you talking about? I that's what I heard.
You know he's always wanted to stick it to Kallie, so one plus one That is one crazy bitch.
Kallie? Kallie? You punk-ass bitch.
What do you think you're doing? Huh? Stop! Get off me! Aah! Just think you're hard, huh? You think you're a man? You're just a little bitch that needs to be broke like the rest.
Stop! Please, no.
No.
Please.
Please.
Please.
No.
No.
It's nice of you to come and check in on Adrian, after all these years.
I just wanted to see how he's doing with everything that's going on with his father.
He's been doing really great lately.
We're still trying to figure out the right way to talk to him about all this his dad, the execution.
Adrian, honey? There's someone here to see you.
Oh.
He's in the backyard.
Adrian's very lucky.
Let's go out so you can talk to him.
No, I just wanted to see him.
Thank you.
He's been drawing again lately.
Since he heard the news about his father.
