The Killing (2011–2014): Season 1, Episode 4 - A Soundless Echo - full transcript

Aaah!

Let me outta here, bitch!

Let' me out! Let me out'!

You can't keep me in here.
I know my rights.

I didn't do anything to her.

What do you want, huh? What?

I didn't kill her, I swear.

So, Rosie, senior year.

Where you gonna be 10 years
from now?

Uh, well, I mean, who knows
what's gonna happen?

Today is all that matters.



And I want-

I don't know. Um-

I want to see everything.

See the world.

I am just so ready
to start living, I guess.

Was that okay?

Tell her that.

What?

Tell her you didn't kill her.

Look at her.

Tell her.

This kid's been here all night.

He's jonesin'.
Ready to break.

You think?



Ames is in the waiting room
with his lawyer.

You're not gonna get much.

It helps put pressure on Kris, knowing
his friend might want to cut a deal.

You talking to him?
Yeah.

Holder will take the tweaker.

Is it okay if I use your office?

Uh-

That junkie in there
looks better than you do.

Why don't you clean yourself up
and put on a suit?

Hey.

Your date's with me.

We thought you'd be more
comfortable with your father here,

but it seems
he wasn't able to make it.

Mr. Ames is currently
out of the country.

This is just a courtesy visit
on our end.

You can direct
any questions you have to me.

A video has come
into our possession...

taken the night
of Rosie Larsen's murder.

She's in it. So's your client.

What video?
Mr. Ames, please.

Would you like to see it?

As you can see, we have a wide
selection to choose from.

This lovely two-tone,
brushed-steel model...

boasts a white velvet interior
in a French fold design...

Eternal Rest
adjustable bed...

and matching pillow
and throw.

And all our caskets fit the
standard 30-inch burial vaults.

Burial vaults?

Protection for your loved one against
the outside weather elements-

Uh, rain and so forth.

The list price for these
models begins at $2,000.

Of course, there's always cremation,
considerably less expensive.

No.

I understand.

Then you'll want to consider a
flower spray for the casket,

or perhaps wreaths
for the church.

That's a beautiful choice
for a young girl.

The list price is $3,800.

We have reasonable payment
plans if that's your concern.

No, we're set.

Then I'll just need a nice dress
for your daughter.

You would like her
in a nice dress, wouldn't you?

I wish
I had good news, but I don't.

You're dropping fast
across the board.

Losing traction with your
key constituencies even.

The mayor's now got an eight-point
lead, so, frankly, you're screwed.

The Yitanes endorsement
didn't stop the hemorrhaging?

No. Adams is choking the airwaves,
hammering you with that dead girl.

But the car was stolen. We
had nothing to do with it.

Clearly, that message
isn't getting through.

What you need is a media blitz-
ads, billboards.

We need to remind voters
that you're the anticrime guy...

and that Adams
never gave a damn till now.

Better hurry, before he grabs
up the airtime that's left.

Then let's do it right now.

With what money?

Thank you, Michael.

We need to go to Tom Drexler.
No.

He hates Adams.
He hates politicians.

He thinks we're all hand puppets
for rich lunatics like him.

I don't know.
Maybe we are.

Darren, he could be
a good friend to us.

How?

I'm not making a deal with a guy
whose patron saint is Ayn Rand.

You won't have to. All he cares
about is screwing Adams.

We help with that, we're golden.

At least talk to him.

We need someone
with that kind of money right now.

One thing Jamie was right about
was using him.

Get me my donors list.

L'll start making phone calls
after the committee meeting.

Lei me a! that' bitch.
Give her to me.

It's not what you think.

Looks pretty clear to me.

We didn't do anything
to her, okay?

My client doesn't need
to answer any of your questions.

You don't seem like the type
that shares your toys.

And that's what Rosie was,
right? A toy?

This is over. Let's go, Mr. Ames.
Wait, wait, I can explain.

It's in your best interest
not to- Just shut up!

It isn't what you think.

Just turned 18.

Ain't gonna be
no comfy juvie digs for you.

You're gonna be wearing
a micro-mini-mini...

by the time you get out
of adult pen.

Jasper gets the hot chick
and I get you?

Yeah.

They know you got
the itch like me?

Hmm?

Damn.

Boyfriend laid it on you.

Jasper's crazy, okay?
He hated Rosie.

You're just his wingman, right?
Along for the ride?

She always said hi.

Rosie didn't treat me
like I was-

A rock-bottom junkie, huh?

What you gonna tell me next? You used
to walk home together from school?

You got a minute? I'm in the
middle of something here.

I know. Let's go.

Yo, I'll catch you later,
all right?

Fine.

Another movie. I want popcorn.

You shut up, all right?

Yeah.

Let me at that bitch.

Give her to me.

That's what you got?

Man, you don't know shit.

Hey, Mayor.
Hey.

Say hello to your dad for me.
Yes, sir.

Hey, Al.
Hey.

Gimme the usual.
You got it.

And get him another of whatever
the hell he's drinking.

Interesting choice
in venue, Mayor.

This place and me go way back.

Used to wait
for my old man outside.

Blackout drunk.

Me, nine years old, dragging
his sorry ass back home.

Spent a lot of hours
looking at that, wanting more.

And now, I got it.

I heard the story, Mayor.

I just don't understand why Seattle
needs another yuppie mall.

Not exactly a boon
for the Everyman.

Screw the Everyman.
I'm the Everyman.

And that thing's gonna bear
my name, be my legacy.

Not bad for a poor kid
from Highland Park.

I hear you're from Pigeon Point.

White trash.
Just like you.

... revitalization program.

A vote for Adams
is a vote for experience.

Lesley Adams-

Look at that. Hmm?

Can't say I was too surprised.

Your situation with Richmond- Guy's an
amateur. Not ready for the big leagues.

How do you figure?

Carpetbaggin' rich kid
who saved some souls a few years.

He doesn't know how to win
'cause he never had to.

I believed in that guy.

I guess it was
a one-way street.

Maybe you're right.
I know I'm right.

That's why I asked you here.

So, how about it?

How about what?

Come over and be part
of a winning team for once.

Mrs. Danzinger, now you've
been a generous donor...

and I really hope I can rely
on your support again.

I'm sorry, Councilman.

We are not going
to be able to help.

No, I-

No! a! this time.
I understand.

I'm sorry.
Oi course.

Thank you for your time.

Senator Eafonis office.
Hi.

It's Gwen.
H1} Gwen.

I need to see the senator.
Does he have an opening?

Let me check.

You and Rosie
were best friends.

Yeah. I guess.

You guess?

I mean, we are.

Were. Rosie's dead.

I know.

So why'd you go down to the
cage with her boyfriend?

Did they force you?
No.

There was a lot
of blood down there.

I get really bad nosebleeds.
I've gone to the hospital for them.

They didn't make me.

I was drunk, and Jasper
thought it would be funny...

if I put on her witch costume.

So what?

Rosie was okay
with that?

She'd already left. Didn't
tell me where she was going.

She never even said good-bye.

Mmm. You were mad at Rosie.

She changed so much, you know?

After she broke up with Jasper.

She'd never hang out.

Disappear during fourth period.

Tell her mom she was spending
the night, and she wasn't.

Where was she going?
I don't know.

I saw her get on the bus
a bunch of times.

Which bus?

Outside of school. The 108.

What do you think
she was doing?

I think she met someone.

Someone she couldn't
tell anyone about.

Not even her B.F.F.?

We wasted a lot of
time 'cause of you, Sterling.

- Why'd you lie?
- I don't know.

Why'd you go down there
with him?

'Cause he was nice to me, okay?

No one is nice to me.

I mean,
not like they are to Rosie.

I'm, like,

not even there
when she's around.

I didn't mean to hurt her.
I didn't, but-

Don't you ever just want
to feel like you're here?

If Rosie was having an affair,
it might explain the shoes.

That key didn't fit
her school locker, right?

No. Maybe she had some secret
lockbox or something...

where she stashed the guy's
love letters and stuff.

Where?
We already checked her bedroom.

I'll talk to the Larsens.
I'll do it.

I'm meeting them at the station.
Course you are.

I love this partnership.

You do whatever you want,
and I spend my time chasing you down.

Is there a problem?

Rosie was sneaking out during school,
taking a bus, maybe meeting someone.

Yeah? SQ?

The 108 doesn't hit her neighborhood
from here, from Fort Washington.

Find out where she went.

Sorry to hear
about the dead girl.

We have it under control.

I've been at this a lot longer
than you have, Gwyneth.

Maybe it's time to admit
you bet on the wrong horse.

I appreciate the concern,
but I know what I'm doing.

Torn Drexler.

Can you get me a meeting?

Well, it depends.

Is this you asking, or Darren?

He doesn't know I'm here.

Interesting.
Going behind his back.

Maybe you have
a bit more initiative than I thought.

I told you, Dad.
I'm doing this my way.

Your Way?

Is that what you call
sleeping with your candidate?

Yeah?

The coroner can facilitate the
transfer to the funeral home.

You'll just need to tell them
where to send her.

There's something that I need
you to look at before you go.

Um, do you recognize
these items?

Are they Rosie's?
We think so, yes.

Did Rosie have a lockbox
at home?

I don't think so.

We think she may have been
seeing someone.

I told you.
She broke up with Jasper.

Not Jasper. Possibly an adult.

No, my daughter's
not like that.

You don't know her. You don't
know anything about her.

Excuse me.

Hi, Regi.

Sure, I can pick up Jack.

Sorry about that.

I'm so sorry,
Mrs. Larsen, Mr. Larsen.

Are we done here?

I'm sorry.

This is my one-on-one?

Let's make the best
of the opportunity we have.

That means smile, Darren.

I'm not sure
that'll happen.

At least you both
like basketball.

About 3:00 in the morning
we come back,

and we find him in the
hallway, completely naked-

Welcome to the snake pit.
Champagne?

I didn't think this was your
kind of scene, Darren.

I could say the same
about you, Mayor.

Oh, I just dropped by
to toast the king of Seattle.

And stick my waterfront project
up his ass while I was at it.

You do know how
to come bearing gifts.

It's nice you two are a pair.

In this racket...

it's a miracle to find someone
you can really trust, huh?

Ladies and gentlemen!

Look who we have here. It's our
very own mayoral candidates.

In this corner, Mayor Adams.

Don't let that baboon smile
fool you.

No doubt he will steal your money
and then stab you in the balls.

And here we have our challenger,
Darren Richmond.

Bright-eyed, bushy-tailed.

Yes, we can.?

I got an idea.
Screw the election.

How about the two of you
finish it right here? Mano a mane?

What say you?
Winner take all?

Much as I'm sure the mayor would love
to show off his full-court game,

I think I'll take my
chances with the voters.

Darren Richmond.

No, I'm telling you, Linden.
This is stupid.

Did you ask him
if he'd seen her?

No, the driver
couldn't I.D. her.

I need you to check again.

Yeah, whatever.

Yo, chief.

Take one last look.
You seen this girl?

No.

Jack, I'm here. Let's go.

Aaah! Gotcha, Lucy.

Just a matter of time.
Rick!

You scared the crap
out of me.

Look, you couldn't
make the tasting.

I brought the tasting to you.

Regi was in on this?
Yes.

Was Jack too?

Yes. Everybody lied to you.

It's called a surprise.

The normal human response is shock,
laughter, jumping up and down.

Or you could launch an investigation.
Okay, I get it.

Or establish a timeline.
Shut up.

Mmm.

I was a jerk last night. Sorry.

No, I was- am.

I brought you and Jack some clothes.
Oh, you rock.

What's this?

Nothing.
It's just a scratch.

It's not happening again, is it?

What?

Chasing after a dead girl.

No, it's not.

New partner, complaining again.
He can wait.

New partner.

I mean the new guy.
Rick, come on.

I can't compete with a ghost.
I mean, I can, right, but I won't.

You don't have to.

What time are Jack and Regi
coming back?

I sent them to a French gangster
film that's like five hours long.

Mmm.

Jack should be
falling asleep...

right about now.

You really thought this through.

Are you gonna put that gun away?

Maybe. Oh.

The service
will be about your daughter.

The way she was meant
to be remembered.

We appreciate that,
Father.

Have you thought about hymns?

There are some very nice
selections in here.

Maybe you could pick out a few
you'd like to consider.

Yeah. I'll take a look.

Mitch?

You got any hymns
you want to hear?

We'll go with the usual then.

I think
I have everything I need.

Your daughter is with God now,
Mrs. Larsen.

He's watching over her.

Over all of you.

He always is.

What good is that to me?

She's not supposed to be with God.
She's supposed to be with me.

Mitch, come on.

My daughter,
she was out there alone.

And she was scared, and she
was hurt, and she was alone.

Tell me-

Tell me,
where was God then?

Look at this shithole
of a waterfront.

There should be a stadium there.
My stadium.

Could you imagine... hearing the
roar of the crowd from up here?

Gives me a hard-on
just thinking about it.

Another vanity project,
like the mayor's.

Afraid I can't help you.

Why are you here?

'Cause Adams has been robbing the
city blind for almost a decade.

It is time for a change.

Oh, man.

How does a rich kid from Connecticut
get right here, right now,

talking mumbo jumbo
about the underprivileged?

Twenty-five years ago,
I took a ride on a bus.

I just never got off.

I get it.

You gotta stay in character.

I can respect that.

You know,

most politicians are so in love
with the sound of their own garbage...

they can't keep
their mouth shut.

I like you, Richmond.

As I said,
I'm not hereto help you.

Oh, maybe one day you will.

But for now, I want Adams to go to his
grave, pissing in his adult diaper...

knowing he lost this thing
because of me.

That alone will be worth it.

Stan.

What are we doin' here?

I'm gonna have to sell it.

You bought this?

Serious?

Does Mitch know?

Supposed to be a surprise.

Rosie never had
a backyard.

You want to do something about
that guy, that Richmond?

Just say the word,
we'll take care of it.

Like old times.

I don't do that anymore.

And the moment will
come when composure returns

Pu! a face on the world
Turn your back to the wall,

And you walk 20 yards
with your head in the air

Down the Liberty Hill, where
the fashion brigade Hey, girl.

Look with curious eyes
on your raggedy way

How about you and I take
a trip down to the cage?

Have some fun.

Maybe squeeze
a nosebleed or two in.

Screw you, dickhead!

Remember, Sterling,
no means yes.

Take a Walk in the park
Take a Val/um pill, ?

Read the letter you got
from the memory girl

But it takes more than this
to make sense of the day;

Yeah it takes more
than milk to get rid of the taste,/'

And you trusted to this
and you trusted to that;

When you saw it all come,
it was waving the flag

Of the United States
of Calamity, hey

After all that you've
done, boy, I know-

Hi.

Hi.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Larsen.

You have nothing
to be sorry about.

When you saw her on Friday,
how was she?

She looked happy.

Was she seeing anybody?

Anybody that she didn't want us
to know about?

L- I don't know. I'm sorry.

I have to go,
Mrs. Larsen.

Okay.

Okay.

L'll see you?

Yeah.

Bye.

Janek.

I heard about Rosie.
My condolences.

I bought a house before all this.

I can't move my wife, my kids now.

I'm paying rent. I got a mortgage.
I got funeral expenses.

For 17 years,
you ignored me.

Walked right past me
on the street.

You know why.

Forget it.

Wait.

Family always comes first.

We were never family.

My best to Mitch.

Hey, Al. It's all yours.

Hey, humor me, man.

You ever seen this girl
on the bus?

Yeah, I recognize her.
Seen her a few times.

You sure about that?

Look around, son. Ain't a lot of white
girls on the end of this journey.

Do you remember
where she went?

End of the line.

Mrs. Larsen?

Sorry,
I don't mean to intrude.

You mind?

No.

I'm Bennet.

Rose was a great kid.

Kids like her are why I got
into teaching in the first place.

She was so smart
and eager to learn.

Rosie wanted-

She wanted the world, you know?

Mr. Larsen?

The front door was open.

I hate to disturb you, but I need
to check Rosie's room again...

to make sure
we didn't miss anything.

I'm sorry about what happened
at the station.

You said she didn't suffer.

You should have told us.

Rosie loved poetry
and literature.

She wrote her semester
paper on this author.

This was
her favorite book.

Sarah?

She's not here.
Get used to it.

So you thought you'd help
yourself to our wedding cake.

Well, it was here.

Think we can do it?

Do what?

Eat it all.

That's right.

Mmm!

Come on. I
can't do this solo.

Yeah.

Chocolate raspberry filling.

Mmm.

How's the white ganache?

It's okay.
Yeah?

Mmm.

You feelin' it?
Feelin' what?

Sugar rush.

Kind of. Whatever.

I'm in.

Adams admit
to planting the leak yet?

Not yet.

Give me some time.

You know where to find me.

Hey.

How'd you know
it wasn't me?

Because if you wanted to screw me, you'd
have found a smarter way to do it.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I'm Detective Holder
from Seattle P.D.

I'm looking for this girl.
You ever seen her around?

Yeah, I've seen her.

She'd come here with that guy
over there in the photo.
