The Killing (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 13 - What I Know - full transcript
Linden and Holder finally find out who murdered Rosie Larsen.
Get her, get her!
Come on,
stop playing with your sister.
Go finish packing.
I'm serious.
Your dad wants to hit the road.
The tickle monster's
keeping an eye on you.
You have to come camping with us.
Yes, you do.
Come on, it'd be so fun.
We're gonna make s'mores.
We could go biking.
Next time, okay?
I promise, next time.
Go pack up like mom said.
I left the number for the campground
on the refrigerator.
We don't get reception up there,
if there's an emergency at all,
you just call that number.
Promise me
to go straight to Sterling's house
after the dance.
I mean straight.
- Are you listening to me?
- Whatever, I'm not an idiot.
I didn't say that you were.
I appreciate the apology,
but that's not getting
the palettes here 5 hours ago.
Fine!
I'll talk to him.
Stan Larsen.
Who am I speaking to?
Like I told your associate,
I haven't gotten my order.
You're the 3rd person
that I've had to explain this to now.
Order number 52932.
Hello?
Yes, I'm still here.
I need somebody...
I need a juggernaut.
We're almost there, folks!
Three more districts!
What are you doing here?
This is a private party.
- The election results are coming in.
- Where's Jamie Wright?
I don't know,
I saw him at the office.
- What vehicle was he driving?
- A campaign car.
What is going on?
We need an APB on a black Crown Vic.
Do you have any idea
where he could be?
He was to be here half an hour ago,
so was Darren.
- They aren't answering.
- Caucasian male in his 30s.
Richmond's not here.
What is going on?
What are you doing here?
I was just chewin' your boss's ear,
telling him how my grandson's
always had a rich sort of imagination.
We got to get to the rally.
Everybody's waiting.
- Let him finish.
- That's right.
We're not done here.
He doesn't owe you anything.
Your boss has been tellin' stories
about me on the TV.
Lost my leg,
all kinds of lies,
wonder where he got 'em.
- What is wrong with you?
- That's enough, I'm done with this.
You owe me.
You think I didn't figure out
where you really were that night.
Shut up.
The night that girl
got herself killed!
Shut up.
Don't walk out on me.
- Stop, Jerry's waiting for me.
- I got a car, I'll take you.
It doesn't make sense,
the campaign is Jamie's life.
Darren matters to him,
he'd never hurt him.
One of Richmond's campaign cars.
Jerry, is he with you?
That was Darren's driver.
He left his phone in the car.
He dropped him off,
now he's not there.
- What's the address?
- In Pigeon Point, under a bridge.
That's Jamie's house.
23 Normandy Avenue.
Get a car out there right away.
Units are en route.
- What are we doing here?
- I want to show you something.
They're waiting for us at the rally.
This used to be a small logging town.
Just a no-name lumberyard.
Then the fire came,
burned everything.
And from those ashes
all this was built,
and this place became a city.
And this city...
It's yours now.
We won.
We did it.
We did it.
I got a text from my guy at the polls
10 minutes ago.
Adams is gonna concede
within the hour.
We did it.
It's nothing.
Why did you lie?
Cause...
You were gonna give up.
You needed something to believe in.
Why did you lie to the police?
You told them you were
with your grandfather.
My grandfather is a drunk!
He's a drunk and a liar,
and whatever he said is bullshit!
Where were you
the night the Larsen girl died?
This election...
This is a...
stepping stone.
But first you had to win.
Don't you see?
I had the perfect plan.
With the Indian bones at the waterfront,
Adams was dead in the water.
- You planted those bones?
- Come on, get off your soapbox.
It was for your own good.
The Indians wanted to expand.
Ames was looking for a way out.
I saw an opportunity, I took it.
Promising what in exchange?
As mayor, you would approve
a casino on the waterfront.
- What you did was fraud.
- It's against what you believe in!
But, Jesus, you wanted to win.
You never learned to make friends
with the people that matter most.
But that's okay.
That's why you have me.
Because when you approve this casino,
our coffers will be full
for the next run.
- And the one after that.
- What happened to the girl?
What happened to the girl?
The girl!
This is the beginning.
It was an accident!
Bullshit.
What you trying to do, scare me?
You said there wouldn't be
any screw-ups.
- I got the charges dropped, calm down.
- It's a speed bump.
That's all.
It's taken care of now.
It better be.
The bones are buried.
I held up my end of the bargain.
I guarantee you,
Richmond will go along with it.
It's not a problem.
We're back on track.
If that's it, let's go.
I want off this damn island already.
We should go out separately,
like we always do.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Answer me.
Nothing.
I didn't see anything.
I swear.
What the hell is that?
Be quiet!
She wouldn't stop screaming.
She wouldn't listen.
I didn't know what to do.
I tried to reason with her.
I tried so hard
to make her understand,
but I panicked.
I panicked.
She was gonna ruin everything.
It was an accident.
She was alive when she went in the lake.
Is that what you call an accident?
What are you doing with my gun?
We got an ID on a campaign car.
It's been located
at the parking lot of city hall.
I thought she was dead.
She wasn't.
She got out of the car...
Ran into the woods.
We had come so far...
Too far.
I couldn't let her get away.
Shut up!
Shut up!
I was only thinking of you.
I didn't want to do it.
When I have to do something, I do it.
I always do it.
Everything I've done
has been for you.
I'm leaving now.
Stop, stop!
You want to be an idealist,
go plant a tree.
If you want to be a leader,
you have to get blood on your hands.
I can't keep doing it for you!
You killed a young girl,
you son of a bitch!
You put me in this chair!
Your weakness put you
in that wheelchair!
The greatest thing we did?
Tricking the voters into believing
you're something you're not.
You surround yourself
with people like Gwen and Lily
because you want to believe
you're a good man.
You have no idea.
You cheated on Gwen with whores!
You let your wife
drive that night alone
so she could die
because you like the limelight!
Stop pretending!
That's the man you are!
This is the beginning.
This is it.
Olympia's next.
And then the senate seat.
And then DC.
This is it.
You can go the whole way.
As long as you realize who you are.
You know I'm right.
Put the gun down, before you do
something you don't want to do.
- Drop the gun.
- Put the gun down.
Listen.
I know you'll do
the right thing, Mr. Mayor.
We can help you.
Drop the gun!
Put down the gun!
The shooter's weapon.
It was empty.
Jamie's employee files,
cellphone records,
and some stuff the unis got
from his room at his grandpa's crib.
They found that.
The missing film from Rosie's camera.
What's on it?
Got to send it to the lab.
Chief Jackson's about to be charged
for obstruction of justice.
She's not gonna make a deal
to give up Ames.
Son of a bitch is gonna walk.
His attorney's en route.
IA will be investigating.
But I read the witness statements.
It was a good shooting.
Jamie's cellphone records.
He made a call to Michael Ames
3:37 A.M. the night of the killing.
It doesn't prove collusion.
We can't know what he said.
He could have gone to the lake,
helped Jamie kill her.
The taxi that dropped him off home
had a broken taillight.
- What if we checked...
- We already checked cab manifests.
None stopped at Discovery Park
or the Ames address.
And the busted taillight?
Half the cabs have broken lights.
His lawyers will have a field day.
It's over.
The DA and myself
will address the media tonight.
We have to talk
to the Larsen family first.
I want you to know,
both of you did good work on this case.
Holy crap.
Which window's our bedroom?
In this house,
you each get your own bedroom.
Really?
You know what else I heard?
I heard there's a swing set
in the backyard.
Right through that gate back there.
Wait for me!
We're gonna have to move in 2 weeks
if we're gonna do this.
You sure?
This is the house she was gonna
come back to from college.
Come on, let's go inside.
What are you doing here?
You should be resting.
Cleaners are coming in an hour.
They'll relace the glass
and the carpet by the afternoon.
I'll handle that.
You need to go home.
You don't need to issue
a press release.
The press will have
a field day with this
unless we get out in front of it.
I don't want Jamie defining my legacy
before it gets started.
You won this election because of you.
We don't need to spin anything.
You've got some blood on your face.
This place is still the same as it was
my first year as a city councilman.
They had me all the way down
at the end.
Didn't matter to me though.
I was a boy from Pigeon Point.
I thought I could change things.
The only thing this place changes
are the people in it.
Things will change.
I'm sorry about Jamie.
It took me three tries
to become mayor.
You learned how to do it in one.
You got the makings
of a great leader.
Don't put away your clothes and stuff
'cause you're still gonna
need 'em for school.
Take this up to your mom.
Why do I got to do it?
She's doing the best she can, buddy.
And, you...
Stop feeding that dog chips.
I'll put you in one of these boxes
with him for a week.
Last one upstairs is a rotten turd.
Shut up, you are.
You need help?
I figured...
You weren't gonna move all this crap
by yourself.
Thanks.
She kept looking at me
that last time.
I was so busy packing
for that camping trip
that I didn't look at her.
I didn't see her.
I didn't see her.
Yeah, you did.
You always did.
We're getting flooded
with calls from the press.
Where are you?
Visiting Lily.
I see.
I can hold them off for a few hours,
but that's it.
I'm just...
I think it's time to move on.
I'll be in soon.
I'll see you then.
Jamie never said it.
No one said
what happened to her here.
I wanted to get him.
We got him.
We should let the Larsens know.
If you're looking for my sister
or Stan, they're out.
When are they coming back?
Don't you people knock
before you just walk in?
We need to speak to them.
It's about the case.
That's the last thing they need
right now.
We got him.
You did?
Who is it?
We should wait for the Larsens.
Your timing sucks.
They're moving, you know.
Got a new house.
I got stuff to do.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
You can just wait here.
You might want to step out with that
before she bites your head off.
It's a garage.
You were there at the lake.
Weren't you?
You picked him up
from the ferry that night.
Both of you were going to the airport
for that...
flight to Vegas.
That's when he got a call.
About a girl in the woods.
Rosie was nine
when I read her the story
of the monarch butterfly.
She loved it.
It was like...
Like she believed
the world could be hers.
Everything in it.
And you did, too.
He was going to leave
his wife for you, wasn't he?
And you both had plans, hopes.
You were gonna have everything.
Michael did it.
You should arrest him.
He would have never left you.
He couldn't have, you would have had
that over him forever.
He didn't do it.
What's going on?
You need to leave now, please.
You need to go downstairs.
You wouldn't understand.
I'm sorry.
Don't do this, not here.
Don't be mad at me.
You don't need to be here.
I didn't know.
I didn't know what to do.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
Forget it!
- The deal is over.
- You got to help me.
She heard everything!
We can't let her go.
You know we can't.
I am not gonna be part of this.
The deal is off.
This is your ticket.
To be free of your wife,
to have your own company,
your own money.
I don't care!
I don't care!
I'm not gonna leave my wife.
It's over.
Do you understand me?
- It is not happening.
- Just call your guy.
- You listen to me!
- Just call your guy Janek!
Call him!
She's a nobody.
- Listen to me!
- Janek can do it!
You're crazy!
I'm going back to my wife
to start all over.
Janek can do it.
He'll kill her!
Why did you call me?
'Cause I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I didn't know.
I didn't know it was Rosie.
Your two sons are downstairs.
They need you now.
They need you now.
Mitch, please!
I didn't know!
Please!
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
Got a smoke?
I'm out.
You should quit.
Save me some bank.
Transporting her to county
in a couple of hours.
She didn't want a lawyer.
Just the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Sometimes it just comes down to that,
I guess.
Just the randomness.
Carlson told me to give you this.
What's going on?
What you want?
I got the Rosie Larsen film
from the lab.
Some kind of student film.
Turn the light off,
close the door, thanks.
Do we have a meeting scheduled?
I wanted to get a jump start.
On what? The staff isn't here yet.
We don't have anything on the books.
Congratulations.
Thank you for your help
with those charges.
They were ridiculous.
Police have a habit
of arresting the wrong man.
- Or should I say woman?
- Got that right.
Mr. Mayor.
Mr. Ames.
Michael, I hear the DA's
speaking to your attorney.
They're working out a deal.
We're all here.
Let's start.
A lovely sunny morning in Seattle,
as usual.
Let's turn to page 3.
Mom! Dad!
Get out of bed!
You've got to get up! Hurry!
Someone left it in the mailbox.
What?
You got to be kidding me.
Whatever, we'll be there.
They found a body down near Sea-Tac.
Lieu says we're first up.
We got the bad guy.
Who's that?
Keep in touch.
You're my ride, you know?
Come on,
stop playing with your sister.
Go finish packing.
I'm serious.
Your dad wants to hit the road.
The tickle monster's
keeping an eye on you.
You have to come camping with us.
Yes, you do.
Come on, it'd be so fun.
We're gonna make s'mores.
We could go biking.
Next time, okay?
I promise, next time.
Go pack up like mom said.
I left the number for the campground
on the refrigerator.
We don't get reception up there,
if there's an emergency at all,
you just call that number.
Promise me
to go straight to Sterling's house
after the dance.
I mean straight.

- Whatever, I'm not an idiot.
I didn't say that you were.
I appreciate the apology,

That's the last thing they need
right now.
We got him.
You did?
Who is it?
We should wait for the Larsens.
Your timing sucks.
They're moving, you know.
Got a new house.
I got stuff to do.
I'll be back in a few minutes.
You can just wait here.
You might want to step out with that
before she bites your head off.
It's a garage.
You were there at the lake.
Weren't you?
You picked him up
from the ferry that night.
Both of you were going to the airport
for that...
flight to Vegas.
That's when he got a call.
About a girl in the woods.
Rosie was nine
when I read her the story
of the monarch butterfly.
She loved it.
It was like...
Like she believed
the world could be hers.
Everything in it.
And you did, too.
He was going to leave
his wife for you, wasn't he?
And you both had plans, hopes.
You were gonna have everything.
Michael did it.
You should arrest him.
He would have never left you.
He couldn't have, you would have had
that over him forever.
He didn't do it.
What's going on?
You need to leave now, please.
You need to go downstairs.
You wouldn't understand.
I'm sorry.
Don't do this, not here.
Don't be mad at me.
You don't need to be here.
I didn't know.
I didn't know what to do.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
Forget it!
- The deal is over.
- You got to help me.
She heard everything!
We can't let her go.
You know we can't.
I am not gonna be part of this.
The deal is off.
This is your ticket.
To be free of your wife,
to have your own company,
your own money.
I don't care!
I don't care!
I'm not gonna leave my wife.
It's over.
Do you understand me?
- It is not happening.
- Just call your guy.
- You listen to me!
- Just call your guy Janek!
Call him!
She's a nobody.
- Listen to me!
- Janek can do it!
You're crazy!
I'm going back to my wife
to start all over.
Janek can do it.
He'll kill her!
Why did you call me?
'Cause I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I didn't know.
I didn't know it was Rosie.
Your two sons are downstairs.
They need you now.
They need you now.
Mitch, please!
I didn't know!
Please!
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
Got a smoke?
I'm out.
You should quit.
Save me some bank.
Transporting her to county
in a couple of hours.
She didn't want a lawyer.
Just the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Sometimes it just comes down to that,
I guess.
Just the randomness.
Carlson told me to give you this.
What's going on?
What you want?
I got the Rosie Larsen film
from the lab.
Some kind of student film.
Turn the light off,
close the door, thanks.
Do we have a meeting scheduled?
I wanted to get a jump start.
On what? The staff isn't here yet.
We don't have anything on the books.
Congratulations.
Thank you for your help
with those charges.
They were ridiculous.
Police have a habit
of arresting the wrong man.
- Or should I say woman?
- Got that right.
Mr. Mayor.
Mr. Ames.
Michael, I hear the DA's
speaking to your attorney.
They're working out a deal.
We're all here.
Let's start.
A lovely sunny morning in Seattle,
as usual.
Let's turn to page 3.
Mom! Dad!
Get out of bed!
You've got to get up! Hurry!
Someone left it in the mailbox.
What?
You got to be kidding me.
Whatever, we'll be there.
They found a body down near Sea-Tac.
Lieu says we're first up.
We got the bad guy.
Who's that?
Keep in touch.
You're my ride, you know?
