The Killing (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 7 - Keylela - full transcript

Linden and Holder return to the casino. While Holder tries to get information inside the casino, Linden explores the rest of the island. Linden learns that there are rooms where working ...

The maid
probably just moved it.

Always be putting my gideons
in the drawer,

making me lose
my place in exodus.

The drawing was packed away.

This was a message.

Whoever did this
knows things about me.

That old case
you were working on?

Is that what Carlson
was talking about?

You need to trust me
on this, Linden.

We're safe.

No one ever comes around here,



not even Jehovah's Witnesses.

Only thing we got to worry about
is the young 'un robbing us.

I said roil for me, not rob me.

You owe me rent.

Yeah. Rent on pioneer square
ain't two G's.

I think your zen rock garden
and fountain

are what's really
gonna help me relax.

Augh it up, Linden.
My dojo is a sanctuary of light.

All right. How much?

- 2 G's.
- 2 G's...

Now, I know this farmer, right?

It's sick what they do
to them chickens.

And then he tells me
it's lonely on a farm.

That's why you got to buy
organic eggs.



'Cause you never know what's
been inside of a chicken.

You know what I'm saying?

She rises from the dead.

Told you posturepedic
Is the shiznit.

What are you making?

Just an all-natural
Mexican-American breakfast.

Good morning, mom.

Morning.
Do you need help?

No. Take a load off.

We got you.

Oh, just a heads up.

There's a poison-control number
on top of the fridge

in case you go into shock
since this ain't freeze-dried.

Ha ha ha.

Hey, uh, get the Habanero Jelly
out of the fridge,

mix it with them eggs,
and boom.

We got spicy and sweet in one.

See you found
my knowledge corner.

There's a bookstore
down on Jones Street...

you get a crate of books
for a quarter.

But you can't put a price on wisdom.
ain't that right, little man?

- I guess.
- You guess?

Ain't no guesswork for seekers.

Monarchs.

They left about a month ago.

Should be down in call by now,
and then down in Mexico.

Come on. Let's eat.

Speaking of travel plans,
you and klepto here...

you're welcome to crash here
as long as you need.

Thanks. it was just
for the night.

Of course.
It's just too much fun here.

- Linden.
- It's, uh, Ray.

Look, I know Carlson told me

not to dedicate any more time
to the Larsen case.

What do you got, Ray?

Rosie's voicemail...
from yesterday,..

Analyst I'm tight with,
local FBI task-force guy,

took a listen.

That weird buzzing noise
that starts three seconds In?

He said it could be
the cooling fan

of a portable diesel generator.

The most popular users
are construction companies.

What about the other sounds,

your guy confirm
it was some kind of a door?

Yeah, sliding door.

Flush-fin construction probably,
glass inset.

Okay, got it. No need
for Carlson to get the memo.

I got to go.

Rosie's call most likely came
from a construction site,

probably inside the casino.

Ames was trying to hide why
he was doing business there.

Go to the County Recorder's Office.

Get any business records between
Ames' construction company

and the casino.

Let's find out exactly
what they were building there.

Jack, are you all packed up?

I haven't finished
my breakfast.

Yo, you got to try some
of my Habanero-Jelly eggs.

I'm not hungry.

All right, well,
just so you know,

there's a spare key
under the green flowerpot.

Just in case ail the hotels
are booked or something.

Keep your head up, little man.

You're early. I still have to do
my physical therapy.

I told the nurse to push it
back so we could start now.

Commissioner's apology ran
on page one this morning.

Yeah, below the fold and under
the Seahawks preview.

You've publicly been
branded a killer.

And we have less than seven days
to change voters' minds.

And short of the cops
finding the actual killer,

nothing we say
is gonna make a difference.

Which is why we're gonna get
the Larsens to do it...

And publicity absolve you
from any blame

in their daughter's death.

They'll never agree.
We tried this.

I know the prosecutor
charging Stan Larsen

for the kidnap and assault
of Bennet Ahmed.

Who is it?
Preston.

He owes me.

He might be willing to agree
to a lighter sentence if I ask.

Should be incentive enough for
the Larsens to come down

to city hall
and read a simple statement.

I'm all for it.
Just know if you do it,

you're gonna be throwing Ahmed
under the bus.

Do it. All right.

We're gonna have to
have the presser here, though.

Leaving the hospital
is too hard for Darren.

We'll have to re-dress
the waiting room.

Gwen.

Preston's a law-and-order dick.
He doesn't cut deals.

I know that.
Stan Larsen doesn't need to.

Mr. Larsen?

Principal Meyers said
they ran out of lockers,

so they had to give Rosie's
to a new student.

But I think it was really
because...

You know, what the papers
have been saying about her.

I thought maybe
you and Mrs. Larsen

might want this stuff.

Did Rosie ever talk

about an old shoe box
of her mom's that she had?

- No.
- No?

No. Why?

Was she happy?

Yeah.

I mean, I think she was.

The last time I saw her...

She was standing there...
by the stairs.

I was on the phone in here.

She stood there for a while,
just looking at me like she...

Like what?

Ike she was... sad.

I forgot till just now
how she looked standing there.

Mr. Larsen?

L, uh... I got to go.

My mom gave me a ride here.
She's waiting for me.

There's cameras
in every hallway,

and someone's at the desk
24 hours.

I'll be home for dinner,

but you should order something
from room service for lunch.

And, uh...
Just this once,

I'll let you order a movie.

...If you would
like to donate blood

to help victims,

you can do so by contacting
your local red cross.

I'll put the
"Do not disturb" sign out

in case the maid comes by,
but...

You should make sure
that you...

put the chain on the door
after I leave.

Jack.

If there's a fire or something
like that, and you're trapped,

use the bathroom window
to get out and call for help.

I thought we were safe here.

We are. I'm being
extra cautious, that's all.

Just promise me
you'll stay put?

I mean it.

Yeah, okay. Whatever.

Yeah, Holder.

Hey, I got that connect

between Ames
and the casino, Linden.

Okay.
I-I'll meet you there.

I'm on the next ferry.

I had to pull some strings,
give cut some HJ's,

but I found Ames'
construction company...

Columbia Domain Fund.

State taxes filed
in the last two quarters

are on the up and up,
no red flags.

But check this...

For their $50 million casino
job, CDF turned zero profit.

Clerk there said
no way that ever happens.

Likeliest scenario

is that the project was either
put on hold or abandoned.

What were they building?

That's the $6 million question
'cause it could be anything.

All it says is
"Hotel/Casino renovations."

Walk around, talk to customers,
employees.

You know, just, uh...

Just try to blend in.

I'm everyone and no one.

Ain't no half steppin'

So, what are you
gonna be doing,

just playing wheelman
in the parking lot?

Got it.

Yo, you stole that from my dojo.
It's part of a set.

Rosie filmed
the butterfly migration

out here at Point Yubec.

Maybe she saw something.

Yeah, inside the casino.

Nicole Jackson has this whole
island under her thumb.

The tribal leaders
have said publicly

that she robs the reservation,

she pockets all
of the casino's profits.

Rosie had secrets.

She went all over the city
with that camera.

Maybe she... saw something

or was looking for something...

Maybe out here.

So, what, you're
the ghost whisperer now?

I think Rosie felt trapped.

She covered her walls
in butterflies.

She climbed out
onto her roof at night

to feel free.

Is that what got you in trouble
on the Picasso case...

You talking mumbo jumbo
to the dead person?

You can walk from here.

Next time you talk to Rosie,

why don't you ask her
who killed her?

Save me doing
real detective work.

You know, Jack's been telling me
you haven't been sleeping.

I mean, he's worried about you.

So don't go all looney tunes,
you know, for his sake.

You're right.

I hear there's a 12-step program
for shitty moms like me.

Yo, I'm just saying you might
want to step back a little.

You think 'cause you made us
some omelettes,

you know what's best for Jack?
Some breakfast burritos.

Go deal with your own problems.
I've got mine covered.

Yeah, you do.

You talk
to your sponsor lately?

You might
want to give him a call,

make sure you don't go
off the rails again.

Yeah, well, at least
I own my addiction.

So, why are you here?
What do you want?

Mr. Larsen, first of all,

we want to offer our condolences
to you and your family.

We can't even imagine
what you and your wife

- have been through...
- I got a lot to do.

Get to the point.

Councilman Richmond
would like to know

if you'd be willing
to read a statement

that publicly supports him.

As you know,
he was wrongfully arrested.

And right now,
the councilman?s top priority

is bringing your daughter's
killer to justice.

You think you're the first
person to try and sell me that?

You're not here for Rosie.
Why don't you guys just get...

I talked to the ADA
who's handling your case.

He and the councilman
are old friends.

He's open to reducing
your sentence.

He might be even willing
to help you avoid prison time.

I want to see a deal...
on paper.

And we'll get that to you,

but right now,
we have a press conference

scheduled for tonight.

The election's
in less than seven days,

and we need to move quickly.

Ike I said, I still need
to see it in writing.

You can reach us
at this number.

The councilman is innocent.

Right now, he's in a hospital,
paralyzed.

I was sorry to hear
about your friend.

It's a shame how the media
can mislead people.

Yo, Linden,
you'll be happy to hear

that while you're out
chasing butterflies,

I'm in here busting my ass.

Nobody's talking and nothing's
renovated in this piss hole.

I'm thinking it's
in the hotel somewhere,

but security's gonna grab my ass

if I keep walking
around like this.

Look who it is.

My man...

Myron.

Got a feeling you're gonna
help your brother out..

Yeah.

Hit me again, brother.

Boom. That's what
I'm talking about.

Damn, brother.

I thought you were gonna
hook a brother up.

Blackjack ain't the action
I'm looking for anyways.

I'm more looking
for a "room service,

"bury the hatchet"
kind of action.

You know what I'm saying?

Ye-e-e-ah.

That's what I'm talking about.

Give that to the bartender.
He'll hook you up.

You know if they're doing
any renovations in the hotel?

Last time I was here,
I get the crabs

in one of them
skanky-ass rooms.

The girls will know
about them rooms.

Ask them.

Thanks, brother.

Stan Larsen won't do it.

Even with the offer we've made?

Preston backed off.
He wasn't...

The deal was a bluff.
It was my call. it didn't work.

You needed this, Darren.

The parents of the dead girl

could have turned it
around for you.

So you lied to them.

I told you I'd win this race.
I didn't tell you how.

Look, even if Larsen said yes,

it's probably not the best idea

for us to put him
in front of the camera.

He's a grieving wreck.

Real Debbie Downer.
But we can't cancel the presser.

Otherwise, there'll be
endless speculation

that it's
about your health, so...

We're gonna lead
with your health,

we're gonna get out there
and talk about it.

Talk about how quickly
you're recovering.

How you're more dedicated
than ever.

How running is more important
than walking.

Voters will be inspired
by your commitment to them.

Okay. Great. We'll draft it.

They're still gonna ask you

where you were the night
the Larsen girl was killed.

And I'll tell them the truth.
I was in Tacoma with you.

Sacred burial grounds.

We believe our bodies
are a gift to Mother Earth,

a final tribute for the land
she provided.

The casino also a gift to her?

To our people.

So we may continue
to be self-supporting,

not rely on your government.

Looks to be supporting you
more than your people.

I know Rosie Larsen was here...

and inside your casino.

Used to be a beautiful view.

When I was a girl,
I remember fishing out here

and hearing the story
of Keylela,

who always canoed out
past our shores,

exploring,
looking for adventure.

The elders warned her
not to go so far,

but she didn't listen.

Then one day,
she didn't come back.

The water swallowed her
for her disobedience.

When the wind blows
through the totems,

it's Keylela begging the elders
for forgiveness,

so she can come back home.

When I was older,
I found out the story was a lie.

Keylela was just a 9-year-old
girl who got lost

and wandered off our land.

A week later, she was found,

beaten and tied to a tree.

A warning from the white man.

I'm a cop.

Anything can happen
on this land, detective.

You've been warned.

I already said
all I have to say.

I only came here because
I wanted you to hear it from me.

I absolutely had nothing to do
with your daughter's murder.

My heart goes out
to your family...

Neither you or your family

ever have to do a thing for me.

I know you think
you're helping me

- with those charges, too, but...
- No, no.

The ADA won't do
anything about that.

My people promised something
they couldn't deliver,

and that was wrong.

You deserve the truth.

I'm sorry about
what happened to you.

I've lost more...

As have you.

The papers...
They, uh...

They're just printing lies
about Rosie.

The school gave her locker
away to another kid.

Nobody cares
about my daughter anymore.

Then make them.

Make them care about her.

Here you go.

I hear you're looking
for a good time.

I'm always looking
for a good time, baby,

especially with a pretty
young thing like you.

So, lead the way
to your room, sexy.

You get a room, right?

Did they ever finish renovating
any of those new rooms?

Still under construction.

Look, you don't got a room,
we can do it in your car.

Head's $20, tail's $50.

I'll give you $100

if we do it
at the construction site.

I like that thing, you know.

No one?s supposed to go
up there.

No dice, baby.

Mm. You sure?

Hmm?

I'm out.

Aw, come on, mami,
you making me all hot.

You want...

Like it dirty, white boy?
I got dirty.

Yeah, see, I-I-I'm In,
but... but not here.

You know, like I said,
I want to do it at the site.

You want to wear a hard hat

or ride me bare back,
macho man?

I'm not riding you neither way
until we're up there.

Give me the cash.

Uh, not until you tell me
where we're going.

10th floor.

Don't you worry.
Best money you'll ever spend.

Yeah. I just blew my wad,
Freddy.

Name's Benny, asshole.

All right, Benny boy.

My badge and my gun.

Have a safe trip back,
detective.

You and me both, baby.

Hold the door, please.

For your cigarettes.

Nah, I got a lighter.
Thanks.

I hope Rosie's finally
got her backpack okay.

What? Wait!

Heard you were looking
for a party.

Holder, where are you?

Nicole Jackson and her goons
are chasing me off the island,

so if you're still
in the casino,

you've got to get out of there.

Yuck.

Come on, now.
It's not that bad.

Hey, dad, mine's gonna be
a spider,

like the one
on spider-man.

That's great, buddy.

I moved ail the crap
off the table.

I didn't know
if this was important.

Nah, just a couple people
come by, wanting something.

Them and everybody else, right?

Were they policemen, too?

What?

The police talked to aunt Terry
at school yesterday.

Those two cops just bugging me
with their questions.

A waste of time.

You got to put your hand
in there.

Wait.
Questions about what?

Nothing. Just...

You know.

Thinking they got their...
I don't know. Nothing.

Boys, go to your room.

- But, dad, I'm not even...
- Now!

What did they ask you about?

Michael. My boyfriend.

The one who kicked me out.

What does your boyfriend
have to do with Rosie?

Hmm? Look at me.

He's... Jasper's father.

What...

does your boyfriend
have to do with Rosie?

Me and him...

met...

through Beau Soleil.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you,
but I was scared.

I didn't know that Rosie had
anything to do with that.

I never told her
about Beau Soleil,

- I swear.
- You need to leave.

You know, I-I don't know.

You need to leave.

I'm s... it doesn't make sense
to me.

Because Rosie would never
do anything like that.

She just went on the website
once, that's it.

Get out of my house!

Yeah, that's fine, Ray.

But right now, I need you
to find out everything you can

about the burial grounds
near Point Yubec

on the Wapi Reservation.

Will you just do it?!

Hey, get away from my son!

Easy, Detective Linden, easy.

Who are you?
How do you know my name?

I'm officer Miller.
This Is Officer Flynn.

We're with Child
Protective Services.

We need to inspect
your place of residence.

This is your current place
of residence, isn't it?

Why?
Why are you here?

Our offices received a call

alleging neglect
of your minor son.

We're here to investigate
those charges

and speak to Jack.

Get inside, Jack.

You don't want
to do that, miss Linden.

Really?

No, easy there, thunderheart.

We don't got a safety word yet.

Yo, you got this all wrong.
Man, I'm a cop.

Not here you ain't.

Just call your boss,
and we'll straighten this out.

Chief wants to see you.

See, that's what
I've been telling y?all.

We're just gonna fire up the
peace pipe and figure this cut.

Okay?

I need you to stay
on this side of the room

and not talk to your son.

You left your minor son
here unsupervised

for how many hours?

Three or four.

He's 13 years old.
He's not a child.

How long has your room
been in this state?

I told him not
to let the maid in.

Why didn't you want
your son to let the maid in?

You'll need to come downtown
for a format interview.

A judge will then
make an initial ruling

taking into account
Jack's statement,

your statement,

my report on health,
safety, living conditions.

A ruling?

On whether your son will remain
In your care, miss Linden.

Mom, I got to go
to the bathroom.

No.

But I really got to go.

Go on.

Oh. I need to take this call.
I'll be... back in a second.

This is Detective Linden.
What is it?

You shouldn't
have done that, Jack.

This isn't a good idea.
This is crazy.

Jack?

Get off of me!

I'm sorry, Jack.
I'm sorry.

Eave me alone!
Just leave me alone!

Okay. I'm sorry.

Eave me alone!

I'm sorry, Jack.

I'd first like to say

my doctors have cleared me
to continue my campaign.

I?II be leaving the hospital
tomorrow,

and my health will not be
an issue going forward,

although I may move
a bit more slowly.

I know you have a lot
of questions,

all of which I will, uh...
I will answer.

But right now, my main concern

is the unsolved murder
of Rosie Larsen.

He's agreed to read
a statement.

And I would like to thank
Stan Larsen

for coming here tonight.

This isn't about
what happened to me.

This is about...
justice for a young girl

and for a family
who still need answers.

Mr. Larsen would like
to say a few words.

Nearly three weeks ago,
my daughter, Rosie,

was taken from us.

Our loss has made us
realize how...

How... how important
every day is together.

This could have happened
to anybody...

Rosie was my little girl.

She was everything to me.

But she means nothing
to you people.

Rosie would be gone
and forgotten

if you weren't using her
to sell papers

or get people
to turn on the TV

She's not entertainment.
She's my daughter.

None of you... none of you

give a rat's ass about doing
what's right for her.

I'm just like you, all of you
out there who are watching.

I don't have much...
about $12,000.

But the money's yours
if you find Rosie's killer

or help the cops find
who killed my daughter.

'Cause somebody's
gonna pay for this.

Somebody's gonna pay for taking
my daughter away.

That's ail I got to say.

Yo, Cochise, you missed it.

Hey.

Hey, Holder.

I don't know where you are,
but you need to call me.

There's something going on.

I don't know what,
but just... just call me.

Damn, now I know
what that guy meant

when he said the casino
was business in the front

and party in the back.

You're very curious, detective.

You and your partner
both like to go

where you're not supposed to.

Too bad for you, she already
got the warning.

Yeah, that's more
than Rosie did.

Aah!

Holder, where the hell
have you...

Holder!
