The Killing (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 4 - Ogi Jun - full transcript
Linden and Holder continue their search for the man man with the odd tattoo. They eventually identify him as Alexi Giffords, a young man with a long juvenile record who lived in foster care for 10 years. They also find that he lives 3 blocks from the Larsens. They're also keeping an eye on Stan Larsen and begin to wonder if he is back with the mob. Stan goes to pick-up Belko Royce's remains only to learn that Janek has already taken care of it. Holder tell Linden that he thought the incriminating photo of Richmond was legit and he just put his trust in the wrong people. Darren Richmond meanwhile begins his therapy and the Mayor pays him a visit, promising to support him in the next election. As if she doesn't have enough on her hands, Linden learns from her ex-husband's attorney that he will be seeking joint custody.
Why drop the bag now,
except to torture the Larsens?
Some kind of sick game?
Could be a sign of remorse.
Tattoo boy was driving
Larsen's truck.
He knew Rosie.
They went biking together.
Then he's helping
burn down Beau Soleil.
Whoever he is,
he knows something.
She didn't have
that much clothing.
Wherever she was going,
it wasn't for more
than a few days.
I need to get this bag tested.
I got this lab rat
from my narc days. He's solid.
I'll drop it off to him
on the DL,
stay off of Carlson's radar.
What's this lab guy's name?
Linden, I thought
the Richmond photo was legit.
Okay?
I mean, Gil saved my life.
I-I had like 10 days
when I met him.
I was at a point
I wasn't caring
what I was putting in my skull,
up my nose, down my throat.
I mean, I-I was
at rock bottom, and he-
I don't care.
We're in the middle
of a shit storm because of you.
Guess I just trusted
the wrong guy.
Yeah, I guess you did.
That's not Stan's boys.
They don't got the overalls.
Any of them our guy?
No. No tattoo.
Yo, that's
Janek Kovarsky's joint.
So Stan Larsen is back
with the mob?
I wonder if he knows his trucks
helped cover up
his daughter's murder.
Larsen moving and storage.
Yeah, this is him.
What do you want?
What? Today?
No, no, you're not
cremating him.
Well, I'll come
pick him up, then.
I said I'm coming to get him.
Oh, God.
What's wrong, dad?
Hey, buddy.
Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
What's up?
We need to get going, Tommy.
Look, this may come
as a surprise to you,
but your aunt Terry felt
the same way about school.
It doesn't surprise me.
Now, that's called sarcasm.
Go to class, and you might find
out what that means someday.
So giddyap.
Let's go.
I'm gonna count to three, okay?
One... Two...
Get your shoes on
and get out of the house now.
Larsen moving and storage.
Don't bother.
I made other arrangements.
Now the
cops want to send a car by.
You believe that?
Yeah.
So, Tommy's been like this
for the past two days,
not wanting to go to school.
Something's going on with him.
Well, I'll have to take care
of it later,
'cause I got to go downtown
to the... morgue.
It's about Belko?
They want to put him in a box
and be done with him.
Hey, can you guys
go downstairs?
I'll be down there in a minute.
I thought
we were gonna be late.
Hey.
Just go.
Where's Belko?
He was gonna take us
to the zoo yesterday.
He's been sick.
Just go on down. Your aunt Terry
will be right there.
There are unconfirmed reports
it was allegedly a front
maybe you should tell them.
For a prostitution ring
known as Beau Soleil.
Police have also connected
the premium escort service
to the murder of local
high-school teen Rosie Larsen.
The blaze is still
under investigation,
but the initial...
Cops are saying Rosie was connected
to that place, Beau Soleil.
Yeah, but they were wrong,
right?
Look, I got to take the boys.
Denny! Tommy!
Guys?
Help me! Help!
Oh, my God. I'm coming. I'm coming.
I'm right here. Help!
I hate him! I hate him!
Denny, are you okay?
Oh, my God.
Come on.
Come on. It's okay.
I hate you, Tommy!
You suck!
Tommy!
What is wrong with you?
Why would you do that
to your brother?
Answer me!
Why would you do that?!
Answer me, would you?!
Tommy, come on!
Get off!
You're not my mom!
Why don't you just go home?!
Go home! I hate you!
Tommy! I'm s...
So, how do you know
this FBI guy?
He's a mob expert.
Organized crime?
That's not exactly your beat.
Linden.
Cory.
Thanks for seeing us.
Of course, of course.
This is my partner,
Detective Holder.
You the big mob expert?
For real?
Can I have the picture, please?
Our victim was with this guy.
Had this tat.
Suspected arson linked
to Janek Kovarsky.
Yeah, arson's a Janek special.
He mixes some lighter fluid.
It's next to impossible
to trace.
I don't recognize the tat,
though.
Could be a runner, new kid.
Janek's pulling them
off the street 24/7.
I hear Stan Larsen used
to work for Kovarsky, too.
Has a body on him
from back in the day.
Yeah, early '90s.
Janek was just small time then.
He was running a card game
out of the back
of his Polish restaurant.
Janek was trying
to expand his operation
into prostitution,
protection, city contracting.
Then he found out
this other kid
was skimming off
his collections.
Piotr Michaelski?
Is that the guy Stan whacked?
Well, we could never prove it,
but word was that
that was the price
Larsen had to pay to get out.
This Michaelski kid-
He have any family?
Yes, his wife,
Monica, found him.
Hands bound,
in the trunk of his car?
Single shot to the head.
Hey, there.
I'm Josh, your OT.
"O" for "occupational,"
"T" for "therapist. "
I'm here to teach you
basic self-care-
Brushing your teeth,
combing your hair,
bathing, taking care
of bodily functions.
They write that little speech
for you
or you just come up with it
all on your own?
Pardon me?
I've felt more empathy
at the DMV.
Why don't you come back
after you've...
worked on your delivery?
Holder.
Your badge.
Monica? Seattle PD.
We need a word.
None of you gave a shit
17 years ago
when Stan Larsen put a bullet
in Piotr's head.
Why you coming now?
We're investigating the murder
of his daughter, Rosie Larsen.
Can't say I'll lose
any sleep over that.
Might rest better, even,
knowing there's some justice
in this world.
Yeah, life's funny
like that sometimes.
I can think
of another word for it.
And yet here you are,
counting your nut dishes,
while the guy who iced
your boyfriend
is just living
the good life, huh?
You people saying I did it?
Don't you got nothing
better to do?
Does Piotr have any family?
His ma died young.
He was an only child.
Piotr got bounced around some,
around the neighborhood,
met up with Janek.
You people should have
arrested Stan.
He used Piotr,
killed him, stuck him
in a trunk like he was trash.
So, we got the nut collector
playing bingo till 1:00 AM.
I mean, no way that
menthol-smoking bag of bones
drags her sorry ass out
in those woods after Rosie.
Do you think?
Mmm.
Is that bacon?
Nah.
This is ham...
eggs, and sausage.
What happened to your whole
lacto-ovo-vegan thing?
Nothing. I'm just ready
to embrace meat again.
Hmm.
Cory said Kovarsky was involved
in city contracting.
Might give us a link
to the mayor.
We should just call the mayor.
I mean,
if Cory's got that hookup,
we could ask him
who shot JFK, too.
Maybe Rosie's BFF
knows about tattoo boy.
I mean, Sterling said
that there was some old man
in Rosie's life.
Wasn't a teacher.
Hmm, some street thug
working for Janek Kovarsky-
That's got to be the last person...
...Stan wants her
to be seeing.
Linden.
Is this Sarah Linden?
Yes.
Brian McCarthy.
I represent Gregory Casher,
Jack Linden's father.
Is it true that you're planning
to move your son
to another state
without informing him?
I don't have to tell him
or you anything. What is this?
I am calling to let you know
my client is suing
for joint custody.
On what basis?
Your continued
and consistent neglect
and failure to meet your
child's basic needs as a parent.
Do you have representation,
miss Linden?
If not, I suggest you find it.
You said Rosie was seeing
someone in secret.
Maybe. I mean,
I don't know for sure.
You ever see this?
Uh, yeah.
This guy was hanging
outside Rosie's house,
like, staring at her.
He had that.
Do you remember
what he looked like?
Tall, skinny, fat?
Black, blue?
White, I think.
And, like, maybe 18?
He was in a truck, so I didn't
really see him that well.
I didn't pay
any attention to it.
Guys were always
trying to talk to Rosie.
What was he doing
outside of Rosie's house?
I don't know.
She talked to him
for like a second,
told him to get lost.
When was this?
Like, the end of school
last year.
Did you see him again?
No.
He really creeped Rosie out.
Why?
I think she said
he'd been in prison
or something.
What else
did she say about him?
Nothing.
I mean, that's it.
She wasn't really saying stuff
to me at that point, so...
Well, if you think
of anything else...
How's Mrs. Larsen?
Tell her I said hi, okay?
Thanks, Sterling.
Hello?
Hey. It's me.
I need your help.
Is that your version
of an apology?
Can we just meet somewhere?
If you want to meet
in DC, sure.
You don't waste any time.
So... what,
you just take a staff job?
I'm headed into a meeting, Jamie.
Right.
The doctors need some info
to help him recover quicker.
God forbid the campaign come
to an end while he heals.
Hey, you left, all right?
His sister's a no-show.
This isn't about the campaign.
You have 30 seconds.
The doctors gave me
a questionnaire to fill out.
What's a typical morning like
for Darren-
You know, waking up?
Are you serious?
I wouldn't ask if I didn't
need it, all right?
This is supposed to help him
get on his feet,
metaphorically speaking.
Anything you can give me
would really help.
What side does he
usually sleep on?
Whatever side I'm facing,
he faces the other way.
Okay, that's great.
No preference.
What's next?
He sets the alarm
for half an hour
before he wakes up.
Okay.
And then when he
finally does get up,
he bangs around,
opening drawers and...
Looking for things.
Looking for things
like his... keys and...
sunglasses...
his watch.
You know what?
I'll figure it out.
Thanks.
Darren doesn't care about
the little things in life,
like daily routines.
That stuff won't get him
out of bed.
What will?
Being Darren Richmond again.
I got to go.
Picking up Jack's dinner?
The warden approved this visit.
What's the holdup?
Hey, wake up, man.
Benissimo Lee.
We got it approved.
All right, hold on a second.
Linden, let's go.
So, warden says
you're giving out
most of the tattoos
in juvie hall, Benissimo.
How you figure, Columbo?
Look, we don't care what you do
in your rec time.
We're just wondering
if this is your work.
Ogi Jun.
Yeah, he a B. Lee special.
So what?
Who'd you do this for?
Giffs.
Giffs?
What, we got to give you another
zagnut to get his name?
Don't know his real name.
Giffs was in the family unit.
He's a foster kid?
Hey. I snuck some goodies
by the nurses.
Cream puff? Don't worry.
The filling's all liquid.
Look, I-I, um- I got this
questionnaire from the guy.
Jamie, Jamie, I need some air.
I got to get out
of here... now.
Put me in the chair.
Yeah, absolutely. Let me, uh-
Let me just call the guy.
No, screw that.
Right- Right now.
Um, okay.
Uh, you and me?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, we- We can do this.
It's like the Cadillac
of wheelchairs.
Practically wheels itself.
Your sister sent it.
I could have told you
Elyse would send money
before she'd get on a plane.
Okay, um...
Uh, we got to-
We got to put you on me.
You have to take me
under the shoul-
Shoulders.
I-
Right, right.
Yeah, and then
get me on your-
On my chest.
Okay.
All right, one, two, three.
Oh!
Come on.
I'm trying.
You're like twice my weight,
so just try to relax.
I'm the definition of relaxed.
Okay.
We could do this.
We can do this.
One, two, three.
Ugh.
Oh, God. This is good.
This is good.
No.
No, no, no, no.
This is not good.
Lift. Lift. Lift me up.
This is not good.
Lift me up. I'm trying!
I'm trying!
Get me back on my bed.
You're- You're crushing me.
Are you okay?
Darren?
Alexi Giffords, AKA Giffs-
he's our tattoo boy.
This is the DMV photo.
20 years old, Caucasian male.
He's a foster kid.
He spent 18 months in juvie
after bolting from a home
when he was 16.
Kid's a runner-
He's been in 5 homes
in 10 years.
That's two years in each home.
Yes.
You catch a bad one,
two years is a lifetime.
Is this his juvenile record?
Yeah.
It's mostly petty stuff
till he hooks up with Janek.
Then we got him robbing,
stealing, shaking down,
just like Stan back in the day.
Janek knows how to raise them.
Check out the address.
224 Hanson Road.
So what?
That's three blocks
from the Larsens'.
Help you?
Uh, yeah.
Um... I'm here
for Belko Royce.
It's a family burial.
Paperwork's all there.
The funeral home picked him up.
What?
See?
It's all been taken care of.
Saved you a seat.
Poor, dumb son of a bitch.
Belko never had
what you've got, Stan,
like my own boy,
Andre-
No discipline
to take over the business.
It should have been you, Stan.
You wanted something different.
I'm good with what I got.
How's that working for you?
Your daughter dies.
Who pays to bury her,
protect your boys?
I appreciate all you've done
for my family,
but I will not-
They put you in prison.
And Rosie's killer-
He's still out there.
Give me your tired,
your huddled masses-
You bought that g?wno.
Poor man's never gonna sit
at their table.
When the heat turns up,
we settle the score.
Like Belko did?
Like he died doing?
Least he went out like a man.
I got to go,
figure out dinner for the boys.
Speaking of,
one of my guys saw your boy
Tommy at school-
Kids beating on him,
teasing him about his sister.
Thought you should know.
How was school?
Yeah? That's great.
He's good.
I'm with him right now.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Listen, Jack, I got to go.
Okay, bye.
There's four units,
no names on the mailboxes,
nobody home.
Let's go hit up the DCS
for his foster file,
see if he's got any relatives.
No, you can't.
Foster records are sealed.
Only way we could get a look
is if Alexi lets us.
Yo, I got to piss.
So, Rosie likes bad boys
like her father.
I don't buy that she knew
about Stan's past.
There's no way
that he told her.
It's in the DNA-
You know, the sins of the father
and all that.
Did you read that
in O Magazine?
Mean, Alexi could have
taken off for Alaska by now.
He's not a runner.
Two years in each home?
That's plenty of time
to figure out
how, when, and where
you're gonna bolt.
So what is he?
A planner.
This isn't how either of us
imagined this ending, Darren.
Funny how life
can turn on a dime.
I'm not gonna waste
my time or yours
feeling sorry for you.
You will come back from this.
When you do,
it'll only add to your appeal.
And I want you to know...
from the bottom of my heart...
I'm gonna be pulling for you.
My offer still stands.
Four years from now,
you got my full support.
Won't that just ease
your conscience?
I've been wondering.
What made the police so certain
I killed that girl?
They won't tell me.
But I will find out.
Offer still stands, Darren.
You got a lot of nerve
coming here.
No need to be rude, Jamie.
I'm just leaving.
You ran a solid campaign, son.
Gwen landed on her feet.
I'm sure you will, too.
So what's up with you
and that fed?
You and the Tom Waits -wannabe
ever hook up or what?
Oh, snap.
Linden rocked a booty call.
Dial 1-900-Linden.
That's not even enough numbers.
That's pretty slick,
Linden-
That candy-bar move
in juvie.
They trade them in there.
It's like money.
Did seem familiar.
It was my first job I worked
out of the academy.
That right?
Yeah.
I thought you said you were
a runner, back in the day,
when you were
in that foster home.
I didn't say that. Yeah, you did.
You said you bolted every six months.
Well, makes sense,
you know, with Sonoma
and everything.
What? I'm just
making conversation
since we're wasting
our time here anyway.
You're right. This is
a waste of time. Get out.
Come on, Linden.
For real?
What am I supposed
to do out here?
Your job.
Call in for a car and keep
your eyes open for Alexi.
Hey, come on.
Yeah, all right.
Least we're back to normal.
Tommy.
Tommy!
What are you doing here?
I was driving by.
How's it going?
Those boys-
They saying stuff about Rosie?
Hey. Come here
those kids-
They're stupid, you hear?
They don't know
what they're saying.
You hear me?
Good.
Now, next time one of them picks
on you, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna walk away.
No.
I want you to hit him.
The only way they'll learn.
You pick the biggest guy,
and hit him hard.
You aim for the bridge
of the nose, okay?
You hear me?
Hello?
Who is this?
Who is it?
It's a wrong number.
Jasper, come on.
Dinner's ready.
Hey, check this out.
I was going through fan mail.
Found this-
"Get well" card
from George Washington Carver.
That's the elementary school
in Pigeon Point.
Mrs. Cheever's
fourth-grade class.
God, I can't believe
that old bag is still teaching.
She looked like a mummy
when I was there.
Didn't we use her class
to stuff envelopes
for subsidized housing
back in '02?
I know what you're doing.
It won't work.
What am I doing?
I want you
to draft a statement.
I'm withdrawing from the race.
Yesterday, you said
you wanted to-
I don't care what I said.
Just do it.
Okay.
Let's talk about the speech.
Statement. You'll be reading it.
Whatever.
I just want to be clear
on what I'm telling them.
I know that Councilman Richmond
told you he'd fight for you,
make sure old Lesley Adams
didn't get four more years
of free and clear access
up your collective asses.
But guess what, folks-
The councilman lied.
Save the eloquence
for your next candidate.
Screw you.
That's right.
Let it out.
Let's hear what really
goes on up there.
Do you know how many people
believe in you-
Depend on you?
I have spent the last 10 years
of my life
living out of my car,
working 24/7, fighting for you.
So put it on your r?sum?
and get out.
You're a coward.
You're fired.
You can't fire me
if you're not running.
Get a life, Jamie.
I'm not it.
Hey, I'm doing you a favor.
Go on, go out,
get laid for a change.
Call Gwen.
I hear she's available.
You son of a bitch.
So, where is home
these days, Sarah?
I'm covered.
Uh, didn't answer the question.
I said I'm good, Regi.
You realize we've been having
this conversation
practically since you
could speak.
I'm nothing if not consistent.
And how is Jack
taking all this?
He's fine.
And how about you?
Are you remembering to do
things like eat and sleep?
Regi, I'm here on business.
Okay, then.
I need the file
on an ex-foster kid.
His name's Alexi Giffords.
Not gonna happen.
Sorry.
He's 20.
He's an adult.
It doesn't matter.
Come on, Sarah.
How would you like somebody
poking around in your file?
If it solved a murder,
I'd be fine with it.
Stan.
What's this?
You tell me.
You said it was a dead end,
that it had nothing to do
with Rosie.
I cleaned out Beau Soleil.
So what?
What did you do?
What do you do to her?
What do you do to Rosie?!
You believe this guy?
After 17 years, he comes here,
asks for money,
for my protection.
And I give it,
and what do I get?
Accusations.
What did you do to Rosie?
I were you, I'd forget
this business with Rosie.
It's making you forget
who's important in your life,
like the children
you still have.
This is Detective Holder,
badge number 4592.
I'm calling in a 320.
All units, request to locate
a Caucasian male, early 20s,
wearing a brown sweater,
blue jeans,
heading north on Hudson.
You Regi's friend?
Any trouble finding the place?
No.
I'm familiar with it.
They changed the color
of the balloons.
They used to be red.
They should give them to
the kids who don't get adopted.
Do you have Alexi's file?
He came to me when he was 4.
He was a sweet boy.
He was one of the ones
I thought was gonna make it.
Mom abandoned him on the steps
of a church.
Teenage mom, unstable.
Apartment four.
Alexi Giffords.
Alexi was in and out
of foster homes.
He was adopted by the Giffords
family when he was 13.
Stayed with them
till he was 16.
The situation imploded,
and he ran away.
The system caught him,
threw him in juvenile hall.
And that's around the time
that I lost track of him.
What about
his biological father?
Dad was killed
when Alexi was little,
around the time
that his mom gave him up.
So he wasn't born
Alexi Giffords.
That's his adoptive name.
That's right.
And what about his birth name?
Michaelski.
What?
His birth mother
is Monica Krol.
His father's listed as-
Piotr Michaelski.
You know who I am?
You got what you deserved.
except to torture the Larsens?
Some kind of sick game?
Could be a sign of remorse.
Tattoo boy was driving
Larsen's truck.
He knew Rosie.
They went biking together.
Then he's helping
burn down Beau Soleil.
Whoever he is,
he knows something.
She didn't have
that much clothing.
Wherever she was going,
it wasn't for more
than a few days.
I need to get this bag tested.
I got this lab rat
from my narc days. He's solid.
I'll drop it off to him
on the DL,
stay off of Carlson's radar.
What's this lab guy's name?
Linden, I thought
the Richmond photo was legit.
Okay?
I mean, Gil saved my life.
I-I had like 10 days
when I met him.
I was at a point
I wasn't caring
what I was putting in my skull,
up my nose, down my throat.
I mean, I-I was
at rock bottom, and he-
I don't care.
We're in the middle
of a shit storm because of you.
Guess I just trusted
the wrong guy.
Yeah, I guess you did.
That's not Stan's boys.
They don't got the overalls.
Any of them our guy?
No. No tattoo.
Yo, that's
Janek Kovarsky's joint.
So Stan Larsen is back
with the mob?
I wonder if he knows his trucks
helped cover up
his daughter's murder.
Larsen moving and storage.
Yeah, this is him.
What do you want?
What? Today?
No, no, you're not
cremating him.
Well, I'll come
pick him up, then.
I said I'm coming to get him.
Oh, God.
What's wrong, dad?
Hey, buddy.
Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
What's up?
We need to get going, Tommy.
Look, this may come
as a surprise to you,
but your aunt Terry felt
the same way about school.
It doesn't surprise me.
Now, that's called sarcasm.
Go to class, and you might find
out what that means someday.
So giddyap.
Let's go.
I'm gonna count to three, okay?
One... Two...
Get your shoes on
and get out of the house now.
Larsen moving and storage.
Don't bother.
I made other arrangements.
Now the
cops want to send a car by.
You believe that?
Yeah.
So, Tommy's been like this
for the past two days,
not wanting to go to school.
Something's going on with him.
Well, I'll have to take care
of it later,
'cause I got to go downtown
to the... morgue.
It's about Belko?
They want to put him in a box
and be done with him.
Hey, can you guys
go downstairs?
I'll be down there in a minute.
I thought
we were gonna be late.
Hey.
Just go.
Where's Belko?
He was gonna take us
to the zoo yesterday.
He's been sick.
Just go on down. Your aunt Terry
will be right there.
There are unconfirmed reports
it was allegedly a front
maybe you should tell them.
For a prostitution ring
known as Beau Soleil.
Police have also connected
the premium escort service
to the murder of local
high-school teen Rosie Larsen.
The blaze is still
under investigation,
but the initial...
Cops are saying Rosie was connected
to that place, Beau Soleil.
Yeah, but they were wrong,
right?
Look, I got to take the boys.
Denny! Tommy!
Guys?
Help me! Help!
Oh, my God. I'm coming. I'm coming.
I'm right here. Help!
I hate him! I hate him!
Denny, are you okay?
Oh, my God.
Come on.
Come on. It's okay.
I hate you, Tommy!
You suck!
Tommy!
What is wrong with you?
Why would you do that
to your brother?
Answer me!
Why would you do that?!
Answer me, would you?!
Tommy, come on!
Get off!
You're not my mom!
Why don't you just go home?!
Go home! I hate you!
Tommy! I'm s...
So, how do you know
this FBI guy?
He's a mob expert.
Organized crime?
That's not exactly your beat.
Linden.
Cory.
Thanks for seeing us.
Of course, of course.
This is my partner,
Detective Holder.
You the big mob expert?
For real?
Can I have the picture, please?
Our victim was with this guy.
Had this tat.
Suspected arson linked
to Janek Kovarsky.
Yeah, arson's a Janek special.
He mixes some lighter fluid.
It's next to impossible
to trace.
I don't recognize the tat,
though.
Could be a runner, new kid.
Janek's pulling them
off the street 24/7.
I hear Stan Larsen used
to work for Kovarsky, too.
Has a body on him
from back in the day.
Yeah, early '90s.
Janek was just small time then.
He was running a card game
out of the back
of his Polish restaurant.
Janek was trying
to expand his operation
into prostitution,
protection, city contracting.
Then he found out
this other kid
was skimming off
his collections.
Piotr Michaelski?
Is that the guy Stan whacked?
Well, we could never prove it,
but word was that
that was the price
Larsen had to pay to get out.
This Michaelski kid-
He have any family?
Yes, his wife,
Monica, found him.
Hands bound,
in the trunk of his car?
Single shot to the head.
Hey, there.
I'm Josh, your OT.
"O" for "occupational,"
"T" for "therapist. "
I'm here to teach you
basic self-care-
Brushing your teeth,
combing your hair,
bathing, taking care
of bodily functions.
They write that little speech
for you
or you just come up with it
all on your own?
Pardon me?
I've felt more empathy
at the DMV.
Why don't you come back
after you've...
worked on your delivery?
Holder.
Your badge.
Monica? Seattle PD.
We need a word.
None of you gave a shit
17 years ago
when Stan Larsen put a bullet
in Piotr's head.
Why you coming now?
We're investigating the murder
of his daughter, Rosie Larsen.
Can't say I'll lose
any sleep over that.
Might rest better, even,
knowing there's some justice
in this world.
Yeah, life's funny
like that sometimes.
I can think
of another word for it.
And yet here you are,
counting your nut dishes,
while the guy who iced
your boyfriend
is just living
the good life, huh?
You people saying I did it?
Don't you got nothing
better to do?
Does Piotr have any family?
His ma died young.
He was an only child.
Piotr got bounced around some,
around the neighborhood,
met up with Janek.
You people should have
arrested Stan.
He used Piotr,
killed him, stuck him
in a trunk like he was trash.
So, we got the nut collector
playing bingo till 1:00 AM.
I mean, no way that
menthol-smoking bag of bones
drags her sorry ass out
in those woods after Rosie.
Do you think?
Mmm.
Is that bacon?
Nah.
This is ham...
eggs, and sausage.
What happened to your whole
lacto-ovo-vegan thing?
Nothing. I'm just ready
to embrace meat again.
Hmm.
Cory said Kovarsky was involved
in city contracting.
Might give us a link
to the mayor.
We should just call the mayor.
I mean,
if Cory's got that hookup,
we could ask him
who shot JFK, too.
Maybe Rosie's BFF
knows about tattoo boy.
I mean, Sterling said
that there was some old man
in Rosie's life.
Wasn't a teacher.
Hmm, some street thug
working for Janek Kovarsky-
That's got to be the last person...
...Stan wants her
to be seeing.
Linden.
Is this Sarah Linden?
Yes.
Brian McCarthy.
I represent Gregory Casher,
Jack Linden's father.
Is it true that you're planning
to move your son
to another state
without informing him?
I don't have to tell him
or you anything. What is this?
I am calling to let you know
my client is suing
for joint custody.
On what basis?
Your continued
and consistent neglect
and failure to meet your
child's basic needs as a parent.
Do you have representation,
miss Linden?
If not, I suggest you find it.
You said Rosie was seeing
someone in secret.
Maybe. I mean,
I don't know for sure.
You ever see this?
Uh, yeah.
This guy was hanging
outside Rosie's house,
like, staring at her.
He had that.
Do you remember
what he looked like?
Tall, skinny, fat?
Black, blue?
White, I think.
And, like, maybe 18?
He was in a truck, so I didn't
really see him that well.
I didn't pay
any attention to it.
Guys were always
trying to talk to Rosie.
What was he doing
outside of Rosie's house?
I don't know.
She talked to him
for like a second,
told him to get lost.
When was this?
Like, the end of school
last year.
Did you see him again?
No.
He really creeped Rosie out.
Why?
I think she said
he'd been in prison
or something.
What else
did she say about him?
Nothing.
I mean, that's it.
She wasn't really saying stuff
to me at that point, so...
Well, if you think
of anything else...
How's Mrs. Larsen?
Tell her I said hi, okay?
Thanks, Sterling.
Hello?
Hey. It's me.
I need your help.
Is that your version
of an apology?
Can we just meet somewhere?
If you want to meet
in DC, sure.
You don't waste any time.
So... what,
you just take a staff job?
I'm headed into a meeting, Jamie.
Right.
The doctors need some info
to help him recover quicker.
God forbid the campaign come
to an end while he heals.
Hey, you left, all right?
His sister's a no-show.
This isn't about the campaign.
You have 30 seconds.
The doctors gave me
a questionnaire to fill out.
What's a typical morning like
for Darren-
You know, waking up?
Are you serious?
I wouldn't ask if I didn't
need it, all right?
This is supposed to help him
get on his feet,
metaphorically speaking.
Anything you can give me
would really help.
What side does he
usually sleep on?
Whatever side I'm facing,
he faces the other way.
Okay, that's great.
No preference.
What's next?
He sets the alarm
for half an hour
before he wakes up.
Okay.
And then when he
finally does get up,
he bangs around,
opening drawers and...
Looking for things.
Looking for things
like his... keys and...
sunglasses...
his watch.
You know what?
I'll figure it out.
Thanks.
Darren doesn't care about
the little things in life,
like daily routines.
That stuff won't get him
out of bed.
What will?
Being Darren Richmond again.
I got to go.
Picking up Jack's dinner?
The warden approved this visit.
What's the holdup?
Hey, wake up, man.
Benissimo Lee.
We got it approved.
All right, hold on a second.
Linden, let's go.
So, warden says
you're giving out
most of the tattoos
in juvie hall, Benissimo.
How you figure, Columbo?
Look, we don't care what you do
in your rec time.
We're just wondering
if this is your work.
Ogi Jun.
Yeah, he a B. Lee special.
So what?
Who'd you do this for?
Giffs.
Giffs?
What, we got to give you another
zagnut to get his name?
Don't know his real name.
Giffs was in the family unit.
He's a foster kid?
Hey. I snuck some goodies
by the nurses.
Cream puff? Don't worry.
The filling's all liquid.
Look, I-I, um- I got this
questionnaire from the guy.
Jamie, Jamie, I need some air.
I got to get out
of here... now.
Put me in the chair.
Yeah, absolutely. Let me, uh-
Let me just call the guy.
No, screw that.
Right- Right now.
Um, okay.
Uh, you and me?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, we- We can do this.
It's like the Cadillac
of wheelchairs.
Practically wheels itself.
Your sister sent it.
I could have told you
Elyse would send money
before she'd get on a plane.
Okay, um...
Uh, we got to-
We got to put you on me.
You have to take me
under the shoul-
Shoulders.
I-
Right, right.
Yeah, and then
get me on your-
On my chest.
Okay.
All right, one, two, three.
Oh!
Come on.
I'm trying.
You're like twice my weight,
so just try to relax.
I'm the definition of relaxed.
Okay.
We could do this.
We can do this.
One, two, three.
Ugh.
Oh, God. This is good.
This is good.
No.
No, no, no, no.
This is not good.
Lift. Lift. Lift me up.
This is not good.
Lift me up. I'm trying!
I'm trying!
Get me back on my bed.
You're- You're crushing me.
Are you okay?
Darren?
Alexi Giffords, AKA Giffs-
he's our tattoo boy.
This is the DMV photo.
20 years old, Caucasian male.
He's a foster kid.
He spent 18 months in juvie
after bolting from a home
when he was 16.
Kid's a runner-
He's been in 5 homes
in 10 years.
That's two years in each home.
Yes.
You catch a bad one,
two years is a lifetime.
Is this his juvenile record?
Yeah.
It's mostly petty stuff
till he hooks up with Janek.
Then we got him robbing,
stealing, shaking down,
just like Stan back in the day.
Janek knows how to raise them.
Check out the address.
224 Hanson Road.
So what?
That's three blocks
from the Larsens'.
Help you?
Uh, yeah.
Um... I'm here
for Belko Royce.
It's a family burial.
Paperwork's all there.
The funeral home picked him up.
What?
See?
It's all been taken care of.
Saved you a seat.
Poor, dumb son of a bitch.
Belko never had
what you've got, Stan,
like my own boy,
Andre-
No discipline
to take over the business.
It should have been you, Stan.
You wanted something different.
I'm good with what I got.
How's that working for you?
Your daughter dies.
Who pays to bury her,
protect your boys?
I appreciate all you've done
for my family,
but I will not-
They put you in prison.
And Rosie's killer-
He's still out there.
Give me your tired,
your huddled masses-
You bought that g?wno.
Poor man's never gonna sit
at their table.
When the heat turns up,
we settle the score.
Like Belko did?
Like he died doing?
Least he went out like a man.
I got to go,
figure out dinner for the boys.
Speaking of,
one of my guys saw your boy
Tommy at school-
Kids beating on him,
teasing him about his sister.
Thought you should know.
How was school?
Yeah? That's great.
He's good.
I'm with him right now.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Listen, Jack, I got to go.
Okay, bye.
There's four units,
no names on the mailboxes,
nobody home.
Let's go hit up the DCS
for his foster file,
see if he's got any relatives.
No, you can't.
Foster records are sealed.
Only way we could get a look
is if Alexi lets us.
Yo, I got to piss.
So, Rosie likes bad boys
like her father.
I don't buy that she knew
about Stan's past.
There's no way
that he told her.
It's in the DNA-
You know, the sins of the father
and all that.
Did you read that
in O Magazine?
Mean, Alexi could have
taken off for Alaska by now.
He's not a runner.
Two years in each home?
That's plenty of time
to figure out
how, when, and where
you're gonna bolt.
So what is he?
A planner.
This isn't how either of us
imagined this ending, Darren.
Funny how life
can turn on a dime.
I'm not gonna waste
my time or yours
feeling sorry for you.
You will come back from this.
When you do,
it'll only add to your appeal.
And I want you to know...
from the bottom of my heart...
I'm gonna be pulling for you.
My offer still stands.
Four years from now,
you got my full support.
Won't that just ease
your conscience?
I've been wondering.
What made the police so certain
I killed that girl?
They won't tell me.
But I will find out.
Offer still stands, Darren.
You got a lot of nerve
coming here.
No need to be rude, Jamie.
I'm just leaving.
You ran a solid campaign, son.
Gwen landed on her feet.
I'm sure you will, too.
So what's up with you
and that fed?
You and the Tom Waits -wannabe
ever hook up or what?
Oh, snap.
Linden rocked a booty call.
Dial 1-900-Linden.
That's not even enough numbers.
That's pretty slick,
Linden-
That candy-bar move
in juvie.
They trade them in there.
It's like money.
Did seem familiar.
It was my first job I worked
out of the academy.
That right?
Yeah.
I thought you said you were
a runner, back in the day,
when you were
in that foster home.
I didn't say that. Yeah, you did.
You said you bolted every six months.
Well, makes sense,
you know, with Sonoma
and everything.
What? I'm just
making conversation
since we're wasting
our time here anyway.
You're right. This is
a waste of time. Get out.
Come on, Linden.
For real?
What am I supposed
to do out here?
Your job.
Call in for a car and keep
your eyes open for Alexi.
Hey, come on.
Yeah, all right.
Least we're back to normal.
Tommy.
Tommy!
What are you doing here?
I was driving by.
How's it going?
Those boys-
They saying stuff about Rosie?
Hey. Come here
those kids-
They're stupid, you hear?
They don't know
what they're saying.
You hear me?
Good.
Now, next time one of them picks
on you, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna walk away.
No.
I want you to hit him.
The only way they'll learn.
You pick the biggest guy,
and hit him hard.
You aim for the bridge
of the nose, okay?
You hear me?
Hello?
Who is this?
Who is it?
It's a wrong number.
Jasper, come on.
Dinner's ready.
Hey, check this out.
I was going through fan mail.
Found this-
"Get well" card
from George Washington Carver.
That's the elementary school
in Pigeon Point.
Mrs. Cheever's
fourth-grade class.
God, I can't believe
that old bag is still teaching.
She looked like a mummy
when I was there.
Didn't we use her class
to stuff envelopes
for subsidized housing
back in '02?
I know what you're doing.
It won't work.
What am I doing?
I want you
to draft a statement.
I'm withdrawing from the race.
Yesterday, you said
you wanted to-
I don't care what I said.
Just do it.
Okay.
Let's talk about the speech.
Statement. You'll be reading it.
Whatever.
I just want to be clear
on what I'm telling them.
I know that Councilman Richmond
told you he'd fight for you,
make sure old Lesley Adams
didn't get four more years
of free and clear access
up your collective asses.
But guess what, folks-
The councilman lied.
Save the eloquence
for your next candidate.
Screw you.
That's right.
Let it out.
Let's hear what really
goes on up there.
Do you know how many people
believe in you-
Depend on you?
I have spent the last 10 years
of my life
living out of my car,
working 24/7, fighting for you.
So put it on your r?sum?
and get out.
You're a coward.
You're fired.
You can't fire me
if you're not running.
Get a life, Jamie.
I'm not it.
Hey, I'm doing you a favor.
Go on, go out,
get laid for a change.
Call Gwen.
I hear she's available.
You son of a bitch.
So, where is home
these days, Sarah?
I'm covered.
Uh, didn't answer the question.
I said I'm good, Regi.
You realize we've been having
this conversation
practically since you
could speak.
I'm nothing if not consistent.
And how is Jack
taking all this?
He's fine.
And how about you?
Are you remembering to do
things like eat and sleep?
Regi, I'm here on business.
Okay, then.
I need the file
on an ex-foster kid.
His name's Alexi Giffords.
Not gonna happen.
Sorry.
He's 20.
He's an adult.
It doesn't matter.
Come on, Sarah.
How would you like somebody
poking around in your file?
If it solved a murder,
I'd be fine with it.
Stan.
What's this?
You tell me.
You said it was a dead end,
that it had nothing to do
with Rosie.
I cleaned out Beau Soleil.
So what?
What did you do?
What do you do to her?
What do you do to Rosie?!
You believe this guy?
After 17 years, he comes here,
asks for money,
for my protection.
And I give it,
and what do I get?
Accusations.
What did you do to Rosie?
I were you, I'd forget
this business with Rosie.
It's making you forget
who's important in your life,
like the children
you still have.
This is Detective Holder,
badge number 4592.
I'm calling in a 320.
All units, request to locate
a Caucasian male, early 20s,
wearing a brown sweater,
blue jeans,
heading north on Hudson.
You Regi's friend?
Any trouble finding the place?
No.
I'm familiar with it.
They changed the color
of the balloons.
They used to be red.
They should give them to
the kids who don't get adopted.
Do you have Alexi's file?
He came to me when he was 4.
He was a sweet boy.
He was one of the ones
I thought was gonna make it.
Mom abandoned him on the steps
of a church.
Teenage mom, unstable.
Apartment four.
Alexi Giffords.
Alexi was in and out
of foster homes.
He was adopted by the Giffords
family when he was 13.
Stayed with them
till he was 16.
The situation imploded,
and he ran away.
The system caught him,
threw him in juvenile hall.
And that's around the time
that I lost track of him.
What about
his biological father?
Dad was killed
when Alexi was little,
around the time
that his mom gave him up.
So he wasn't born
Alexi Giffords.
That's his adoptive name.
That's right.
And what about his birth name?
Michaelski.
What?
His birth mother
is Monica Krol.
His father's listed as-
Piotr Michaelski.
You know who I am?
You got what you deserved.
