The Killing (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 1 - Reflections - full transcript

The details are unclear,

but information continues to
pour in on this shocking story.

What we do know is that...

You ready?

Look at me.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes things
just don't work out.

Are we staying for good
this time?

Yes.

You'll see all your friends,
stay in the same school.

It'll be just like
it used to be.



Is the real reason we're staying
'cause that guy's dead?

The one you arrested.

In breaking news tonight,
a lone gunman

opened fire
outside the city jail

while police were transporting
Councilman Darren Richmond.

Eyewitnesses
have described the shooter as a while male,

but other details
remain unclear

As information continues
to pour in on this story,

we will keep you informed.

We're gonna try to take him.

Keep moving, keep moving!

What's happening?

He's in cardiac arrest.
Code blue.

Start compressions.



Come on, pick him up.
Get him up, get him up.

Somebody get the key!

Take off his cuffs!

Move, move!

Come on! Move!

All right, on 3. Up on 3.
1, 2, 3.

Stay with compressions.

Let's go. Move.

Put him inside.
Get him inside.

I'm going with him!

All right, we're clear!

Go, go, go!

Sarah.

The photo...

it was faked.

I think...

I think that Rosie's
killer is still out there.

You know what this means...

For the department...

You, me. My God.

What if Richmond's innocent?

You don't know that.

I'll talk to DA Niilson.
She trusts me.

She knows I wouldn't go to her
if I didn't have to.

What are you gonna say?

That a photo putting Richmond
on the bridge

the same night Rosie
was killed was faked?

By a cop, no less?

If somebody wanted Richmond
to take the fall that bad...

it doesn't mean
he didn't do it!

I mean, really,
what do you have?

A phone call
in the middle of the night?

So, we let it go?
Is that it?

I don't believe this!

I shouldn't have come here.

Look, sit!
Just... just sit.

You and I are the only ones
who know about that photo.

Et me look into it.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Holder couldn't have done this
on his own.

Who assigned him to homicide?

I told you... his former
supervisor at county.

What's his name?

Gil Sloane.

He's been a narc for 20 years,
Sheriff's Department.

Ou, sheriff's department
oversees bridges and tunnels...

The cameras on them.

So now this is a conspiracy?

The body in the campaign car
and now the photo?

What if Richmond was set up
from the very beginning?

What if Rosie was just part
of something bigger?

It's just like the last time...

...when you got sick.

Sarah.

Holder lied to me.

All right.

Go...

You're going to do it anyways

et Jack sleep.

Sarah?

You be careful.

You mind?

You got that Richmond photo
real quick, yo.

Yeah.

Your connects in county
paid off.

I'm impressed.

Guys like Richmond...
They never pay.

It's about time.

No doubt.

You did good.

You got a long career ahead...

And all the shiny things
that come with it.

Holder

What?

His moms, too?

Richmond's been shot.

We got
Belko Royce's mother

The assailant
has been identified

as an employee of the Larsens.

Belko Royce allegedly shot
Councilman Richmond

as he was being transported
from police headquarters

only hours after allegedly
gunning down...

... his own
mother, Beverly Royce.

The Councilman
was set to be transferred...

Stan, there's someone
downstairs.

...from city holding
to county jail.

The hospital
has yet to issue a statement...

So, they got Belko
up at police headquarters,

and they'll be transporting him
to county jail tomorrow night.

Mr Larsen, there's
something about Rosie's case

that you should know.

Maybe Mrs. Larsen
should be here, too.

M-my wife's
not feeling well.

Whatever you got to say,
just say it.

Rosie met Richmond...
on an online service.

An online service?
What kind of service?

Beau Soleil.
It's an escort service.

No.

Sorry. I...

I wanted to let you know
before the press does.

You got that wrong.

Look, I'll walk you downstairs.

We got him, Mr. Larsen.

We got him.

He sustained
a gunshot wound to the abdomen,

the bullet pierced his stomach
and the gastric artery.

We're gonna need to contact

Mr. Richmond's next of kin.

He's got a sister in Boston,
Elyse.

I put in a call.

How is he?

Well, if I can stop
the internal bleeding,

he may still bleed out
from the incision.

I have to go.

What does that mean?

That sister
should be on a plane... now.

What the hell...

Seattle PD.

Got a question about the cameras
on Desolation Bridge.

Night of October 5th.

Cameras on that bridge have been
out of service since August.

I need to get
printed confirmation.

She's here.

Wait here.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
but you were misinformed.

The cameras on Desolation Bridge
are in operation.

He just said they were broken.

New guy, not familiar
with the system.

Bullshit.

I got a call from your offices
earlier tonight,

and that guy just said
the same thing.

If you'd like me to call
your lieutenant,

Detective Linden,
I'd be happy to.

I never gave you my name.

Why don't you take a seat?

- I'll give him a call.
- Who were you talking to?

Jack. Jack.
We get to go.

What?
Shh.

- Come on. Come on.
- Why?

Get your shoes on.

Watch your fingers, baby.

There he is! There he is!
Jamie! Jamie!

The Councilman is in surgery
right now.

We don't know in what condition,
so I certainly can't comment on...

Jamie, is Richmond
withdrawing from the race?

We're talking about
a man's life here, Dan.

I'm not speaking
on the election.

Did he confess to murdering
Rosie Larsen?

No. Because he didn't do it.

When is he gonna...
We're finished.

You should be ashamed!

That's what I should have told
the parasites.

Unbelievable.

What?
What did they say?

No, nothing.
No one's told me anything.

He had an alibi.
He was with you.

How do the police think
he did this?

Any word
on Mr. Richmond's sister?

Not yet.
She's on the East Coast.

How is he?

Is the Councilman
a religious man?

Why?

In case he'd want a pastor,
priest, or rabbi here...

For last rites.

Simply a cautionary measure.

Et me know if you hear
from his sister.

Well, what the hell
is going on?

We've been waiting all night.
No one has told us anything.

I'm sorry. You're gonna have to
wait for Dr. Madigan.

You got your talking points,
Mr. Mayor?

Press are here,
panties all in a twist.

Any word on Richmond?

Critical condition,
still in surgery.

I didn't want to win this way.

The Richmond campaign
has not released a statement

regarding
the Councilman's condition.

Are we going back to Regi's?

No, she's still
in the San Juans.

Then where are we going?

The Councilman is said to be in
critical condition at this time.

Are you hungry?

I just want chips.

Jack, you're eating
too much junk.

You got to eat something real.

Hello? Chips are,
like, potatoes.

Mom... where are we going?

Emily?
I really appreciate this.

Oh, don't mention it.

Nick is so excited
Jack's joining us today.

You boys should go in.

Pastor Dan's leading Bible study
this morning,

and he doesn't like
tardy teens.

He's welcome to spend the day.

Pick
him up whenever you like.

Just no later than 8:00.
It's a school night.

Thanks again.
I'll call you later.

Yeah.

It's the best I could do.
Sorry.

You'll be safe here.

Safe from what?

Have fun.

I'll pick you up
in a few hours.

The DA's looking to fry
your ass, Belko.

So if you got anything to say,
now's the time to say it.

You hear?

Why you did it.

Hell, I would have, too.

A man can only take so much,
right?

Bev never letting up.

And there comes Richmond...

Killing that sweet little girl.

If that was me, whew.

I would have gone
for the head shot.

Make a statement.

Hey.

You ain't no killer, Belko.

Just trying to make it right.

Right?

The world.

Everything in it.

I feel you.

I do.

Hey, look at me.

Belko, look at me.

Look at me.

You're not the only one
that knows you did right.

He's here?

He knows?

Yeah. Sure. He knows.

'Cause I-I got to tell him...

I got to tell him why, okay?

I got to tell Stan why.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- Okay. I got to tell him.
- Yeah.

Okay.

Boys are ready.

I told them you were going
down to the warehouse.

Good. I'll meet you
at the diner

after I go see Belko.

Don't be blaming yourself
for that, Stan.

You couldn't have known.

Denny's been asking
about Mitch.

I told him that she was going
to my mom's house,

but I don't think
that he believed me.

What are we gonna tell
them, Stan?

Have you heard from her yet?

Maybe you should call her.

Well, did you at least
leave a message?

Yeah, like a hundred of them.

Finally, you're ready.

I'm starving. Let's go.

Where's mom, dad?

Put your hat on, buddy.
It's cold out there.

What are you boys
gonna order? Let's go.

There they are!

Miss, miss, did you
know Belko Royce

was going to shoot
Rosie's killer?!

Torry, get them inside!

Okay, go upstairs.

Go upstairs. Go upstairs.
Go upstairs.

Go home, take a nap.
I?II stay.

No, no. You go.
You should go.

You should have seen him
last night.

He was on fire.
They loved him.

Where were you?

Something I ate...
my stomach...

I'm not sure.

Don't you have a cat
to feed or something?

I thought you had a pet.

I had a goldfish once.

Too much commitment.

Oh.

So I guess a girlfriend?s
out of the picture.

Yeah. Relationships
are too much work.

Better to be a garden-variety
asexual, you know?

I should try that.

Was he faithful to her?

It all makes sense.

He loved her.

I'm looking for
lieutenant Gil Sloane.

He worked a narc job

that intersects with a drug bust
I'm on for the city.

Lieutenant Sloane retired
two months ago.

You got a number
I could catch him at?

You'll have to talk
to my lieutenant.

He's out to lunch.

What's your name?

Detective Sally Hayes.

I'll come by later.
When's he back?

Who knows?

Guy does what he pleases.

Don't they all?

Linden here.

I just talked to Jack.

He said you were taking him
to California?

Greg, it doesn't matter.
Change of plans.

You can't just move
my son to another state

without telling me.

I didn't realize

you were so interested in your
son's living arrangements,

a son you haven't seen
for 10 years.

Sarah, if something's going on
with you,

I want to help, okay?
I'm his fa...

Who's the speaker tonight?

Hi, I'm Nadine.

I'm the greeter
for this meeting.

Sally. Hi.

I'm looking for Gil.
Is he coming to the meeting?

Might show up later.

Stick around.
You're in the right place.

Hey, do you have his number?

I, uh... i lost it,

and, uh, I'm in a really
bad place right now.

Gil got me clean, and
I really need to talk to him.

It's bad, you know?

Phone list is next
to the coffee.

Thanks.

What'd you say
your name was again?

Sally.
Thanks for the help.

Meeting's about to start, folks.

Have a seat.

Welcome to serenity
in the steps,

the Sunday morning meeting
of narcotics anonymous.

555-0192.

Yeah. Name's Gil Sloane.
I'll need his home address.

It should be listed.

Hey, Jack.

Mom.

I didn't realize Bible study
was such a party.

Bible study sucked.
Don't get mad, but, uh...

Where are you, Jack?

He said I should call you.

Who did?

Holder. I'm with him.

What's up, Linden?
Where you at?

- Hey, mom.
- Oh, snap.

- What's up, Linden?
- Hey.

Busted.

You're like that monster
in "Friday the 13th"...

Only way to kill you
is to chop off your head.

I was only kidding.

You know you're my BFF.

We got to go, Jack.

I'm not hanging out
with those Jesus freaks.

You know anything
about the man?

I mean, JC did all
kinds of righteous shit.

Get your stuff.
Come on.

I got to go to the bathroom.

I'll go with you.

God, mom, quit freakin'.

You want to wipe
his boo-boo, too?

I called you about Richmond.

Yeah, I was busy
getting us another flight.

We missed ours last night.

You're wrapping up?

Yeah. You left a mess.

Looks like we both did.

What Belko did ain't on us.

That's one way
of looking at it.

So... Why you back?
For real?

Come on. Let's go.

Take care, okay?

Later.

Later, man.
Bet you're gonna get

that same psycho stewardess
you yelled at

so you could get off
that plane.

Yeah, and good luck
cleaning up the mess.

I hope it was worth it.

Don't you ever do that again.

What?

Was that Sarah?
Is she back?

She's leavin'.
What's up, Ray?

Blowup she requested
a week ago... super-8 film.

Rosie riding her bike.

Sarah thought
there might have been

a guy's face in the mirror,

but best I could do
was a tattooed arm.

It was in the mirror
on Rosie's bike.

Some kind of Japanese cartoon.

Hmm.

Not exactly
the Councilman's style, right?

- Thanks, Ray.
- Yeah.

Landlord's kicking me
out of my place today, babe.

Said you stiffed him
on the rent.

You must have forgot, right?
To pay the rent?

Why aren't you calling me back?

You know,
this is driving me crazy.

It's making me nuts.

Please call me, okay?

Please. Just call me.

Hey, Torry.

Hey, Stan.

Um, boys want a snack
or something?

That detective called...

said Belko isn't doing so good.

I should go.

Yeah, I'll hold down the fort,
you know.

I?II fight 'em off
with my bare hands.

Most of the reporters
are gone anyway.

You sure?

I'm cool. Go.
Geez, get out of here already.

I'm good.

You know, I'm gonna need
some help around here,

what with Mitch...
You know.

Of course, Stan. Whatever
you need. You know that.

If you could swing it,

maybe you could stay here
a while.

I mean, till she gets back
if... if you don't mind.

I don't mind.

Okay.

Dr Madigan to OR 7.

That's his surgeon.

Why's he going to the OR
when he was there already?

Maybe he had to go find
his Maserati keys

in some patient's small bowel.

He wasn't with me...

the night the Larsen girl died.

He left.

When he came back,
he was soaking wet.

He said he got caught
in the rain,

but it didn't rain that night.

Gwen...

Where was he?

That doesn't mean anything.

I told the police.

I need to go out
for a while, Jack.

Okay.

You can spend the night
with Nick?

Nick's a dick.

Hello?

I can't talk to you right now.

I don't care if he called you.

He's fine, we're fine,
and that's all you need to know.

I got to go.

I know these last two weeks
have been hard on you,

and I'm really sorry.

But everything's going back
to normal,

how it used to be.

Maybe I should hang out
with my dad

till everything goes back
to normal.

Don't take out
all your clothes.

We won't be
in this place very long.

Why can't I stay with him?

Because you're my son,
and you belong with me.

This is cur home, not
there or anywhere else... here.

For 11 years, we made
this life together,

and I won't give that up.

I won't give you up, Jack.
You're my son.

Are you hungry?

You look hungry.

Hey, do you think
I can get something else?

Do I have to go
to school tomorrow?

Yes.

I love you.

Me too, mom.

Adding to the collection?

Do I look like some lame-ass
comic fanboy to you?

The Larsen case.

This is the guy
she was riding bikes with.

Ain't that sweet?
Let's go.

Blue plate special
at Denny's runs out in 20,

so come on.

Hey, Linden's back.

She lied about why.

Why would she do that?

The gal
with the control issues?

Got no idea.

Heads up.

Oakes gave me the honors.

You earned it.

Big leagues, bro.

You a city homicide police...

Detective first class.

Guess I am.

Guys are down at the pit,

waiting for your skinny
white ass. V?monos.

I knew you'd come for me, Stan.

I knew you would.

I'm gonna take care
of you, buddy...

Make sure you get
what you need.

When can I come home?

I-I don't know. Soon.

I did it, Stan.

I got him good, right?

Got him good.

Ike when we did
that teacher, remember?

Remember how we did
that teacher?

Look at me, Stan.

Why are you locking at me
like that, Stan?

I'm not looking at you.

Yeah, you are.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

Quit looking at me
like that, Stan.

Quit locking at me li that.

Quit... quit looking at me
like that.

I did it for you, Stan.

I did it for you.
I did it for Rosie.

Quit looking at me like that.

Quit looking at me like that!

It's not fair!

Hello.

Is this Gil Sloane?

Yeah, speaking.

This is Jill Jennison
for "Seattle Dally Record. "

Congrats on the arrest.

What arrest?

Darren Richmond.

My sources say
you provided a photo,

put him in the same car
as Rosie Larsen's body.

We can talk off the record
if you'd prefer

Yeah?

Sc I told him what
you said. He hung up on me.

So, what's the big secret?

You get an exclusive
one day.

And you owe me
your firstborn.

Yeah, if only.
Thank you, Jill.

Uh-hu.

Okay, chow time,
let's eat.

Go wash your hands, Tommy.

Did you hear what I said?

I already washed
my hands.

Okey dokey. Looks like
somebody's hungry here.

It smells like cabbage.

Hey, be grateful your aunt
Terry's cooking and not me.

Get your elbows
off the table.

Where's mom?

She's at your grandma's.

Aunt Terry's
gonna stay here a couple days

while your ma
gets some rest.

Denny, you like
golumpki, don't you?

When's she coming home?

Hey, enough talking already.
Sit down and eat.

Tommy!

He's lost a lot of blood
and his condition is critical,

but he survived the surgery.

Oh, thank God.

A bullet pierced his small bowel
and transected his spinal cord.

He's lost all nerve function
below the lower thoracic level.

What does that mean?

He's paralyzed
from the waist down.

Now, he's heavily sedated
at the moment,

so I don't expect he'll be awake
for another few hours.

But it'd be nice
when he wakes up

that there's some family
there for him.

- Jamie.
- Get out.

Get out.

Right through here.

Hey, sir,
captain wants to see you.

Right now?

Hey. You working
00 to 6:00 shift?

What do you want, Ray?

Me and the guys are ordering
Chinese. You in?

That's all you guys eat

is that Fu Manchu
pupu platter MSG crap.

And your "double cheeseburgers,
hold the meat" is organic?

At least it's got
some vegetables in it.

Ha ha ha. What?

It's got lettuce,
tomatoes, pickles...

Pickles are not vegetables.

Pickles are vegetables.

What the hell
you talking about...

- Aah!
- Gun!

He's got my gun!
Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Belko!
Put the gun down!

I want to go home!

Don't shoot!
Put the gun down!

Put the gun down, Belko!

I want to go home!

Put the gun down, Belko.

You said I could go home.

You're gonna go home.
You're gonna go home.

You lied!

Put the gun down, Belko!
Put the...

Belko!
No, no, no, no, no!

There is no room
for vigilantism

in our justice system.

However, I believe
that our sympathies

should go out
to the Larsen family

for losing a daughter..

Abani.

You want to tell me

why a report from
the "Daily Record"

has my name and number?

Relax.
Relax?!

Yeah.

Listen,
are you playing me, man?

I swear to God, if you are,
I'll take you both out.

Just relax.
Calm down, okay?

Just get her off my back!
