The Killing (2011–2014): Season 1, Episode 7 - Vengeance - full transcript
After Rosie's wake, Stan take Bennet Ahmed for a ride, intent on taking his revenge. Linden's relationship with her fiancé faces a crisis as she and her son Jack miss their flight. Linden re-interviews Amber Ahmed who reveals that she was not entirely truthful as to her whereabouts on the night Rosie disappeared. Along with Holder, Linden visits a local mosque to see if they can get a lead on Bennet's friend Mohammed. Someone slips them an address which leads them to an interesting encounter. On the campaign trail, Darren Richmond is pre-occupied with an upcoming parole hearing for the drunk driver who killed his wife. He refuses to ask Ahmet to resign from his main community project and pays a heavy price at a City council meeting.
What are we doing here, Mr. Larsen?
It's a late-model blue-gray
Ford F-150, extended cab.
Washington plates, 6040KL.
Okay, let me know.
Mrs. Ahmed!
This is Detective Linden
from the Seattle Police Department.
I need to speak with you,
Mrs. Ahmed.
It's about your husband!
It's an emergency!
What do you want?
Why do you keep hounding us?
Have you heard
from your husband tonight?
No. Not yet. He was supposed to call
so I could pick him up from the wake.
But he didn't?
Call him, right now.
Go, go.
Listen, my wife is pregnant,
and she's waiting for me-
Get out.
Why are we here? Mr. Larsen-
What are we doing out here?
I need to
get home to my wife. Please.
Is your husband answering
his phone, Mrs. Larsen?
No, it's going straight
to voice mail.
What kind of interaction did he have with
Bennet Ahmed before they left together?
I don't know. I-I don't know.
Was he-
Was he angry, upset?
How do you think
that he was today?
We know about your husband's
past, Mrs. Larsen.
Okay?
Okay, first of all,
you don't know the first thing
about my husband.
And how dare you come into my home on
this day and treat my family like this!
Get out of my house!
Is Dad in trouble?
No, buddy. Dad's fine.
Why don't we go upstairs, huh?
Tom, I'll take you upstairs.
Come on. Mom?
Tom, I will take you up.
Okay.
Mom?
You know where he's at.
If you do know and
you don't tell, homey,
your puffy white ass
is gonna be in for a long time.
Morn.
Coming, honey. Come on. Let's
go upstairs and wait for Dad.
You know
what I'm saying?
Okay.
It's still going straight to voice mail.
Why is this happening?
Bennet would never hurt anyone.
You don't know him.
You're right. I don't.
Maybe if I did,
I could help clear this whole thing up.
Can you help me?
Is there anything
you can tell me about him?
Anything at all, Amber.
He, um-
He loves his job and the kids,
and...
he's all about changing lives
and helping people.
Please don't let that man
hurt my husband.
A daughter
is different than having sons.
They're sweeter,
more gentle.
The way she looks at you-
like no woman ever will.
Seeing all the best.
I didn't hurt Rosie.
Whatever you think, this is all
some terrible misunderstanding.
I'm gonna be a father.
Amber, we know that you didn't go straight to
your sister's house the night of the dance.
She says that you got there some time
after 1:00 and that you were upset.
So why don't you tell me what
really happened that night.
I drove to the school...
and...
I sat outside in my car, like an idiot.
- Why?
- My husband is with these little 17-year-olds...
at that dance.
And, you know, they're all
in these short skirts and perfect bodies.
Look at me.
Are you Okay?
Is he gonna be okay?
Here. Drink this.
Thank you.
I had a miscarriage
last year,
so now I'm-
I'm not supposed to be
on my feet or carry anything.
I can't even buy groceries.
You can't lift anything at all?
No.
Who let Rosie in that night?
Bennet did, like he said,
when she returned the Koran.
He was at the dance. There was
somebody else here that night.
That's impossible.
Bennet said that he-
Bennet lied.
We have him on video at the dance at
10:00 when Rosie came by your apartment.
Is there anybody else that you can
think of who has access to your place?
Muhammed.
The guy that Bennet
studies Koran with-
from the mosque.
He's been over here a lot lately.
You don't like having him here?
Well, it's just...
he doesn't look at me,
and he doesn't talk to me, ever.
Was this Muhammed
here on Friday night?
I don't know. I
mean, he could have been.
Bennet gave him a key.
- What are you doing here?
- Bennet.
Are you okay? Oh, my God.
How did you even get home?
I took a cab. I'm okay.
What happened?
I almost got killed tonight
because of you.
Now, if there's anything else,
you can talk to my lawyer.
In the meantime,
get the hell out of my house.
Yeah'?
Hey, Stan's back.
Yeah, Bennet, too,
and he's not happy.
Listen, the wife wasn't the accomplice,
but I have another possibility.
I need us to check out
this mosque in Rainier Valley.
We?? What the hell
are you talking about, Linden?
Don't you got a plane to catch?
Sh.
...passengers only.
No parking.
But I already told Nash I
was coming to his party tomorrow.
There'll be lots of other parties.
Regi. Okay.
See you at the wedding. Go on, hurry.
Go. Go.
Hey, hey! Oh! Oh! Sandwiches!
Thanks.
Airplane food sucks.
Flight 163.
I'm sorry. You just missed it.
That flight's now closed.
Look, I know I'm late, but please. I'm
a cop. I'm on my way to my wedding.
I've got my kid with me,
and- and I promised that I
would be there tonight, so please.
Sorry. There's nothing I can do.
We do have plenty of flights
to Oakland in the morning.
Our policy is to arrive at the gate at
least 20 minutes prior to boarding.
Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport is a nonsmoking airport.
Smoking is permitted
in designated areas...
posted in the check-in area.
Thank you
for your cooperation.
You owe me 50 million dollars.
They thought you
were gonna kill him.
Do you think he did it?
You said you'd never raise a child
with a man like me.
You said I had to change...
if we were gonna get married,
keep the baby.
Funny thing.
Once Rosie came along,
I didn't even have to try.
I don't want to be that man again.
I can't.
But I don't know what to do.
I didn't keep her safe.
I didn't keep her safe.
Oh, Stan.
Oh, Stan.
Mom.
I had a bad dream.
Come here, buddy.
Come on.
Get up here.
Yeah.
Hey, sweetie.
Will you take me to the park
tomorrow, Dad, to fly my kite?
Sure thing, buddy.
You go to sleep now, okay?
Adams laid a bear trap, and
you walked right into it.
I did not have a choice.
It doesn't matter.
There's no going back. Let's
figure out a way to move forward.
For starters, you gotta start to
distance yourself from this Ahmed guy.
You realize this Ahmed guy?
may well be innocent?
Yeah. But by the time we find out,
it could be too late.
Too late for him as well. Don't tell
me there's not a racial element.
Here's what I'm willing to say.
If the police arrest Ahmed,
I will publicly ask
for his resignation from the school.
And until then, Darren?
Jamie, I can't have the guy fired.
That's up to the superintendent.
You can influence him.
You can ask the superintendent
to put him on temporary leave.
For what?
He hasn't been charged with anything.
I've seen a hundred guys
like Bennet Ahmed get railroaded...
by the cops, by the lawyers,
all looking for a scapegoat.
It's wrong,
and I won't have any part in it.
You know what else
is wrong, Darren?
You losing this election.
You losing this election when
you could do a lot of good...
for a lot more people
than this one guy.
That's wrong.
You with Jamie on this?
I'm with you.
As mayor, I consider it my job...
to keep criminals away from our kids
and off our streets.
My Opponent?
He thinks ifs okay for accused murderers
to teach in our public schools.
