The Killing (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 11 - Bulldog - full transcript

Although she is now out of the psychiatric ward, Linden will not give up on the investigation. She asks Gwen to use her father's influence in Washington to get a federal warrant to search ...

Four more years!

Re-elect Mayor Lesley Adams,
a name you can trust.

Seattle, when you cast your vote,

vote for Mayor Lesley Adams,
a name you can trust.

Re-elect Mayor Lesley Adams.

Don't forget to vote.

Re-elect Mayor Lesley Adams,
a name you can trust.

Four more years!

The hell?

You should eat something.

How you feeling?



They had you drugged up pretty good.

You were all docile and glassy-eyed
like my aunt Doris.

It doesn't make sense.

What?

Why would the Mayor torpedo
his own waterfront project?

We've got Ames and Chief Jackson
at the casino.

We know what
they were meeting about now.

The break-in at the waterfront.
What was the Mayor doing there?

I got to get that key card.
Let's go.

They erase your mind while
you were in that nuthouse?

Remember what happened last time
we went there?

Kulamish don't mess around.

Hold up.

I know you want to nail the guy.
I feel that, believe me.



Talk while you drive?

I'm just saying, you've...

You've been sleeping inside your car.
You just got out of that place.

Maybe, I don't know...

Take a nap,
take a shower, rest a little.

So now it's you, too?

What?

Come on.

They got to pay.

I know.

We ain't getting back
without a federal warrant.

We better get one.

Any second now.

We're down two.

It's a dogfight!

Let's not celebrate prematurely.

- Prematurely is my middle name.
- Gwen's right.

Adams is still up.

A day ago, we were down 4.
Now it's 2.

The words "statistical dead heat"
mean anything to you?

- We have momentum going into tomorrow.
- That's right.

We got Kobe on our team.

Step aside, dog with rollerblades.

2%. If 2% of the people that
watched that video online

show up at the polls,

that's your deficit right there.

We might win this.

Any blow life deals you
is an opportunity for healing.

10,000 views.
Is this a joke?

I find that all adversity

opens a window...

Half those hits are probably
from that prick, Jamie.

This is a disaster.

Here's some good news:
I figured out who's been leaking info

about the case to Richmond's camp.

Apparently, Jamie's got himself
an ex-girlfriend in the DA's office.

I'll talk to her today.

You should have done it already.

... we can close ourselves off to

the countless possibilities
of our future.

So what if the guy
can play basketball in a chair.

Half of Seattle
still thinks he's a killer.

So make sure you go
to every mall in town.

Bring that back to the office.

And make sure you go to the campus,

put up posters there.

Weren't you supposed
to investige the Mayor?

We are.

The trail leads
to the Wapi Eagle casino.

- We still need that warrant.
- We're getting nothing from our side.

We already told you.
The casino's out of our jurisdiction.

The Councilman doesn't have
any pull there.

Your father could get us in.

We're 24 hours away from an election,
I don't have time.

This isn't about an election anymore.

It's about what he's done to you,
to the Councilman, to us.

You say you want to change
the way the city's run?

Here's your chance.

We need to get into that casino.

All right.
Have at it, Otis.

Grab your stuff.

Whoever's late walks the plank.

Ninjas don't walk.
They stalk.

I'll roll you if I have to.

I told Denny he could
wear his costume to school.

Don't worry.

They're okay with not trick-or-treating.
I talked to them.

Larsen residence.

I'm not Mitch.
I'm her sister, Terry.

So let me pass you to Stan.

It's some lady saying that
you got an offer on the house.

What house?

This is Stan.

No shit, for real?

This is good, it's just...

the first good news
I've had in a long while.

Sure, fax it over.

Will you make sure that there's
paper down there?

Just hang on a second.
I'll be right back.

If you have come to apologize for DC,
you're wasting your breath.

I need your help
getting a federal warrant.

A search warrant
for the Wapi Eagle casino.

You could call the attorney
general as a personal favor.

I'm astonished you'd waste my time
on something like this.

I shouldn't be after what you did,
walking out on senator Farrelly.

It's for the Rosie Larsen case.

I don't give a rat's ass
who it's for.

Chief Jackson and her Kulamish

have supported me
every office I have run for.

You, of all people,
ought to know that.

We're not done here.

I don't care.

You are getting me that warrant.

What's gotten into you?

I'm just curious, dad.

How long have you known about Adams?

Excuse me?

What he did to me.

You're talking about the night
you were drunk on champagne,

hanging off every one
of my colleagues' arms,

embarrassing me, your mother,
and yourself.

We'll see how the people of Washington
feel about a senator who knew

a political ally
assaulted his teenage daughter

and did nothing about it.

It was just a kiss.

If that's your defense,
I'd write your resignation letter now.

Hardcover, paperback,
network, cable...

When I'm done, you won't be able
to run for the water district.

What happened to you?

Nothing happened to me, dad.

I just learned from the best.

Call me, okay?

Hey, Jack.
How are you?

Fine.

How's Chicago?

I tried you like 50 times.
Where were you?

I was catching up on sleep.

I should get back to class.

Did you get into honors math?

Who's that?

I gotta go, mom. Later.

Tell the little man I said hi.

Holder says hi.

Okay, sweetie.
Have fun, I love you.

Did you get ahold of the judge?

We're in.

We gonna do this again?

Not today, we ain't.

Second district,
that's Michael and Joy.

Volunteers,
I want you knocking on doors at 7.

And no doughnuts: spelt muffins.

Wait.
Better make that 9:00 A.M.

Guys, I want jackets and ties.

And Birkenstocks.

- One step ahead of you.
- That's what we need.

- People who think ahead.
- Actually, he just lives in the 2nd.

Words before blows?
Is that the idea?

I'm sure we can keep this civil.

If you ask me to wait 4 years,
you played that card.

I know where you were
the night Rosie Larsen died.

I had no idea you were
feeling that low, Darren.

That testimony was sealed.

I'm sure whoever leaked it
feels terrible about it.

Releasing it is a felony.

I'll be the first to press
for a thorough investigation.

You son of a bitch.

You should have thought of that
before you played your hand.

I'm only serving it back to you.

Don't get too comfortable
in that office.

Tampering with evidence,
obstruction of justice...

Police know about it all.

Matter of time
before they come for you.

You have until 9:00 P.M.
to announce your withdrawal.

Otherwise...

the whole country will know
what a coward you are.

Stinks in here.

What are you doing here, Janek?

Got a leash?

Attaboy.

Take him for a walk, all of you.

How's Mitch?

The boys?

This guy does some work for me.

I hear he talked to the police
about my business.

I need you to put him down.

I'm not asking.

I said no.

I took care of Piotr for you.

That was it.
That was our deal.

That dog...

Make sure your boys walk him
with the leash.

People, they drive crazy these days.

Could hit the dog...

Or Tommy...

Denny.

Who knows what people could do?

It's your brother.

You're not doing this for me.

You're just protecting what's yours,
right?

We'll need to see all your security
footage from the casino,

parking lot, lobby, hallways.

Elevators too.

Every camera in this place
from October first

through to the moment
we walked in the doors.

That shouldn't be a problem.

My chief of security will give you
any information you may need.

Such a nice font.
Do you make this at home?

The hotel is under renovation,
they're still working on wiring, so...

a few cameras may be down.

That wouldn't happen to include
the elevators we just got off of?

I thought
they'd taken away your badge.

She's here as an observer.

Tear up the floor.

Let's go, guys.

Don't worry, Chief.
We'll put it back the way we found it.

What did the old bag say?
Say he'd support you in four years?

Darren, what's wrong?

I want you to send all...

the staff and volunteers
to the rally tonight.

I have an important
announcement to make.

What?

I'm withdrawing from the race.

Please tell me I'm on hidden camera.

What did Adams say to you?

Nothing.
It's for personal reasons.

Personal?

We have busted our ass
24/7 for this campaign.

Don't give me
that "personal" bullshit.

I tried to kill myself.

The night Rosie Larsen died,
that's...

That's where I was.

How did he find out?

Does it really matter?

- I'll need a new speech.
- Just wait a second.

Let's think about this.

Think about what?
How to spin this?

You suffer from depression,
but you're on medication.

I know a doctor,
he'll backlog a prescription,

- make it like you've taken it forever.
- That's enough.

We cannot walk away from this!

Yes, we can.

He's right.

This can't go public.

The voters would never support him.

He withdraws now,
he still has a political future.

You're right.

You're both right.

So we're done.

- You have to know about that weekend.
- You don't need to tell me.

Listen to me.

When I went down there, I wasn't...

I wasn't planning to do anything.

You have nothing to be ashamed of.

We've all been there.

One time or another.

That house was gonna be a surprise.

For Mitch, the kids.

I wanted Rosie to have
a backyard before she left.

She never had one growing up.

That's what a dad's supposed to do.

Bottom line.
Take care of his family?

We were looking at houses, too.

Me and Michael.

We were gonna get our own place.

Start a family together.

He said I'd make a good mother.

We looked at places together.

I guess that's why they say,

"You want to make God laugh,
tell him your plans".

Look at that dog.

Just keep pulling.

He doesn't worry about
what he's done.

Doesn't have regrets.

Sees this family.

It's not missing anyone.

It's perfect as it is.

Anything happens to me,

I want you to take care of the boys.

Why would you say that?

Don't say stuff like that.

You're good with them.

You're a natural.

And they love you.

I got to be someplace.

Oh, what the hell.

Take 'em trick-or-treating tonight.

I have a very busy schedule.

Are you almost done here?

With your search?

And your warrant
runs out in 10 minutes.

Sorry to disappoint you, detectives.

It's over.

That was it.

That was our last hope.

What's that?

It's the key card.

You swiped it?

What about chain of evidence?

What did you think we were gonna do,
walk into Seattle PD with it?

We might as well drive it over
to county ourselves.

Or better yet, we could
hand it to the Mayor in person.

Come on, wake up.

They took my badge, booted you
off the case, stole our files.

We're on our own out here.

- We should get it tested.
- To find out what?

It's Rosie's blood on it?
We know it is.

I'm not gonna risk it.

If we're not gonna use the card...

We're gonna use it.

Where we going with it?

I was just watching
the footage after they left

when I saw this.

What am I looking?

I can't see it.

It's a key card.

From city hall.

I don't know how we missed it.

I went over the room like,

twenty times.

You...

moronic,

little bitch!

Do you realize what you've done?

They've got your key card.

I thought you said
this couldn't come back to me.

No, I'm already on it.

Where's that lieutenant
on the Larsen case?

How can I be of assistance,
Mr. Mayor?

- That female detective.
- Her name's Linden.

Whatever it is,
I want her off the streets.

I've got an election tomorrow.
I can't afford any more nonsense.

She's been suspended,
released into a doctor's care.

I've done everything I can do.

You could arrest her.

Impersonating an officer.

Deputy commissioner's retiring early.

I'm sure we could use
a man of your judgment.

Turn up the radio.

The damn police radio.
Turn it up.

The victim was transported already.

What the hell?

Scan the channels.

We've got eyes on the suspect
heading South

on 15th.

Copy that.
We're in position. Over.

They got a surveillance team on us?

Sir, Linden and Holder
dropped our team.

But we pinged Linden's cellphone.
She's on the downtown tower.

Get me my car.

I know, I'm hurrying.

Perfect.

Come on!

Janek knows.

He knows.

You hear me?
Nod your head.

Good.
Now, you run.

You run.
If you ever come back to Seattle...

I will kill you.

If you wanted to do this,
I'd be dead already.

I can admit my mistakes.

I was wrong about you, Stan.

It's not in your nature to kill.

I'm not Stan.

This is for my father.

One more day!
One more day!

Thank you all for coming out.

It's actually a beautiful night
in Seattle.

For all of you...

Who've put your heart and soul
into this fight,

I just want you to know
that we've already succeeded.

We have exposed, for all eyes to see,

the weakness of the political
machine of Lesley Adams.

Let me be clear, his time is up.

Come on, Sarah.
It's over.

- How many units you got stalking us?
- Stay out of this.

Hope some old lady gets robbed
and nobody's responding.

I'm trying to make this easy on you.

No need for drama.

Do you know what that is?

Where'd you get that?

Unfinished room on the 10th floor
of the Wapi Eagle casino.

It's not a theory anymore.

Whoever was in that room
that night Rosie died works here.

Election's tomorrow.

Maybe Mayor Adams wins.
Maybe Richmond does.

He's the one that got us
into the casino.

New regime, gonna want
to do some housecleaning,

purge the department
of the Mayor's people.

It's time for you to decide
whether you want a boot on your ass.

Look, even if you're right,

- I can't call this off.
- Then get out of my way.

As we move forward,

we can show our love
for this great city

by not giving up our principles,

our enthusiasm.

Even though now

may not be our time.

Most of you know

I had a little brush
with the law recently

and that I was exonerated.

You haven't heard the full story.

What's he doing?

I don't know.

I was released
because I had an alibi,

the details of which

were sealed as part of an agreement
I made with the DA's office.

But before Seattle votes tomorrow,

I think it only fair...

You should hear the truth.

You got to stop him.
He's throwing away his career.

It's his choice.

On the night of Rosie Larsen's...

Brutal death,

I was in Tacoma,
I was staying at a bed-and-breakfast

where I had stayed with my late wife.

I couldn't sleep, so I took a walk.

I didn't realize where I was headed
until I got to the bridge.

It was the spot

on which
I'd asked my wife to marry me,

ten years ago that very night.

And as I looked down

into the dark waters,

I imagined the life that
we could have lived together,

and I allowed bitterness,

and pain, and grief to overcome me.

And I jumped.

I've spoken before
about a man named Ted Wright.

A man who lost his leg
in a freak accident

in a factory,
lost everything,

but who found,

inside himself
the will to live, to move on.

I'm not that man.

For me...

For me, the will came
on the way down.

It was not mine.

It was something deep
and instinctual inside of me.

By the time I hit the water,
it had woken up.

And it wanted to live.

And not just to live, but to fight.

We've got eyes on the suspect's car.
Washington plate 6-7-7-5-Charlie-1.

And I know I am not alone.

Every one of us,

has stood on that bridge,

one time or another.

Lay-offs, lost health coverage,

dwindling opportunities.

Some days the temptation
is just so strong

to give up.

And yet you keep showing up...

For your jobs.

Your families.

Your communities.

I want you to know...

that I will keep showing up for you.

And that I will never...
Stop fighting.

Linden, where you going?

Come on, aunt Terry, hurry up!
We have to get to the next house.
