The Killing (2011–2014): Season 2, Episode 9 - Sayonara, Hiawatha - full transcript

Holder can't find any of the files related to Rosie's death and learns that the entire case has been transferred to the County. Holder follows up but is told by County that the files never arrived. He thinks he knows where they are however. With Rosie's key, Linden goes to the construction site at the casino. She's convinced Rosie saw something there that led to her death. Mitch Larsen visits her old boyfriend David, whom Rosie had visited with questions about her mother. Stan Larsen meanwhile has to deal with son Tommy who's gotten into trouble at school. Darren Richmond meets with Nicole Jackson about the possibility of an endorsement but isn't prepared to meet her terms, even if it costs him the election.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.
They got it ail.

Damn it.

Talk to Ray.
He'll know what's going on.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Yo, lieutenant,
your boys tossed my apartment,

and they snagged a bunch
of my personal stuff.

I want it back.

You're off the Larsen case,
Holder. et it go.

Besides, county has it now.

County?



Yeah. Transferred.

You and your partner really
screwed the big one on this.

You violated every federal law.

You made a laughing stock
out of this department.

- Yeah.
- You're lucky you kept your badge.

Go home, Holder.

Look...

in a way, it's not your fault.

You had some bad luck
being paired with Linden.

Hey, Linden ain't so bad.

You know she spent a month
in a psych ward?

Completely lost it
working on a case.

I wouldn't put my career
in her hands if I were you.

My advice...
Find yourself a new partner.



Ike I said...

I'm just looking for my stuff.

So who do I talk to at county?

No one's there?
It's only 8:00.

What are you county boys
doing down there?

You having a party?

There's got to be someone
in evidence.

Yeah, whatever.

Yeah, yeah...
No, tomorrow's too late!

The mayor must have put Gil
up to this.

We have to get that key.

And how are we gonna get it?
We can't go to Gil.

Then we go around him.
We go around county.

You just got suspended, Linden.

Now you got friends
in high places?

Then Oktoberfest.
At the Ballard Senior Center.

- Old gals love you.
- Four days, Jamle.

We have four days
until the election.

Are you sure a senior center
is our best use of...

Who let you in?

Door was open.

Rosie Larsen was last seen alive
at the Wapi casino.

We need access.

To the casino?

That's on Indian land.

- City has no jurisdiction.
- But you have pull.

If solving the Larsen case
is truly a priority

as you've said.

I have an election
in four days.

I have many priorities.

Helping us find Rosie's killer

is only gonna improve
your situation, Mr. Richmond.

And you're just here
to lend a helping hand.

We filed a federal warrant,
but that could take months.

You've had to deal
with Chief Jackson

for years on the city council.

Maybe you have a relationship
with her.

My relationship
with Chief Jackson

is no better than yours.

I promise you that, detective.

Chief Jackson does what's best
for Chief Jackson.

Perhaps.

Maybe somebody
should be thinking

about that dead 17-year-old girl
and her family.

Good luck with the election,
councilman.

Man, I still got
a few amigos down in county.

I?II make a few calls
first thing,

see if I can track down
our case files.

Holder, I'm sorry.

We shouldn't have split up.

It happened.

We're good, Linden.

You're still my BFF

Where you going now?

Still staying
at that $120 a night

flop joint you call a hotel?

Get out of my car.

Holder.

Thanks.

And thanks for being there
for Jack.

Jack.

Hi.

Mitch? Wow.

L-I wasn't sure
that I could find you, David.

I just had this old address,
and...

I don't... i'm...
I should have called first.

I'm so sorry.

You're here because of Rosie.

It was like seeing you
at that age.

It completely threw me.

I knew she was yours before
she even opened her mouth.

L...

I had no idea
she was coming up here.

She never said anything to me.

Teenagers, right?

Their whole lives
are based on secrets.

She'll tell you eventually.

Yeah.

What did she want?

Why was she making a four-hour
bus trip to Blaine?

I don't know.

I kept wondering
the same thing myself.

You know, honestly,

I think she just
wanted to talk to someone

who knew mom before.

Before what?

Before life happened,

before, you know,
you became her mom.

She seems angry, Mitch.

S-she... and, um...

She seems a...
little lost.

I guess you guys are having
a hard time, huh?

Your girl's really,..

Honest...

And direct.

Just like you were.

What did you tell her about me?

I told her you always had a bock
in your hand.

And...

Um... oh, that you...
that you liked...

Really crappy movies

like...

What was that one... What was
that one about the whale?

"Free Willy"

Oh, no, no, no.

Yeah.
She knew that.

I didn't tell her
about the pot.

But I did say that you weren't
afraid of anything.

That time we went to see
Soundgarden

and you insisted on jumping

right in the middle
of the mosh pit.

Head banging...
Body slamming and all.

- You told her that?
- She loved it.

She couldn't believe
you were that person.

She had no idea.
Kids never do, I guess.

She wanted to know
if we were in love.

How could you not know
your daughter was a prostitute?

What kind of parent are you?

Hey, I think
I've seen your daughter.

Is there like a double reward
if you find her...

Mr. Larsen,

this is Principal Rosenstein
from Woodridge Elementary.

Your son Tommy's been involved

In a serious incident
this morning.

What are you doing?

I've been looking
all over for you.

Hotel front desk said
you weren't in your room.

You been sleeping here
all night?

What time is it?

It's 8:30, Linden.

I told you
you could crash at my place.

What's going on?

I talked to my guy at county.

And get this...

Evidence isn't there.

Never showed up.

They don't know nothing
about it.

What?

The Larsen case files, Linden.

They're gone.

What the...?

Hey, Gil.

What are you doing here?

This is arrabbiata, right?

What?

This is arrabbiata?
Penne all'arrabbiata?

It's damn good, too.
What'd you put in this?

Holder.

What do you want, Holder?

Larsen case files.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I think you do.

You know what "arrabbiata"
means In Italian?

Hmm? "Angry."

Although in my case it would
be more like "pissed off."

You get the hell
out of my place.

You know what a low-life tweaker
does when he gets pissed?

You don't have the bails.

Oh, damn.

Got to go, Gil.

Hey, it was great catching up.

And thanks for the leftovers,
man. it was real good.

You know,
timing's everything, Habib.

You feel me?

And the time will come.

Ike the good book says...

An eye for an eye.

We ain't done, my brother.

He don't have the files.
Not In his apartment.

You sure?

I tossed it good.
It's not there.

You get anything from his car?

Yeah.

Oh, snap, Linden.

You finally figured out
how to work the slim Jim, huh?

Gil's last five
locations...

1262 Healey Ave.
Everett, Washington.

30 miles away.
That's where he went last night.

Everett.

Maybe... he stashed
the Larsen files

in the middle of nowhere.

Wait till everyone
loses interest.

Rosie Larsen becomes
just another cold case.

Let's go.

We propose using
this waterfront property

to build a Northwest American
indian museum and gift shop.

A place that honors
the rich legacy

and history of our people.

I certainly have
no objection to that.

Good.

I'm not sure mayor Adams and I
see eye to eye on this.

Truth be told,

we'd rather be in partnership
with you on it.

This would include
my endorsement of your campaign.

Of course.

And in return?

Simply put,

we want you as mayor
to endorse legislation

granting tax-exempt status
to all our land

found within the city limits.

So, you are asking
for tax-exempt status

for the museum.

And anything built
on cur property.

Ah, let me ask you a question.

As you may imagine,

I am eager to put
the Larsen case behind me,

as we approach election day.

Seattle police seem to feel
this won't be possible

without getting
into your casino...

Where the girl was last seen.

As a sign of good faith,

I'd like you
to give them access.

Your police have no place
on sovereign Indian land.

It would set
a terrible precedent.

Please understand that I speak
for the American indian Nation

when I say this.

I don't think so.

I think you speak
for yourself...

Miss Jackson.

Always have.
That much is clear.

Darren,
I'm sure that we can...

This conversation is over.

Your choice.

Good luck with the election.

You're saying he killed a bird?

Three fledglings.

Tommy and some friends

found a bird's nest
near the swings.

When they knocked it off,

there were some
baby birds inside.

Starlings.

Tommy then proceeded
to step on them.

Stomp on them.

Until Miss Herman observed this
and intervened.

Well...

That certainly
doesn't sound like Tommy.

He loves animals.

But, um, I will have a talk
with him.

Mr. Larsen,
we're concerned about your son.

Killing animals can be
a warning sign.

Come on.

Boys will be boys, right?

I mean,
sometimes they do dumb stuff.

Killing defenseless creatures
is not just "dumb stuff."

- it's a cruel and violent act.
- No.

My daughter being murdered
three weeks ago...

That was a cruel
and violent act.

This...
This Is just stupid!

Mr. Larsen...

Tommy is suspended
for two weeks.

- Maybe during that time...
- Two weeks?

That's... that's crazy.

How am I gonna work
with a kid at home?

My wife...

My wife is out of town.
It's just me.

It's just me trying to
hold it all together there.

I'm sorry.

I know this has been hard
for your family,

though we can't just let this go.

Tommy really needs
to think about his actions.

1262 Healey Ave., Everett.
This is it?

Maybe he got hungry,
Gil loves him some gyro.

Oh, this was a waste of time.

Wait, wait.
I've been here before.

At that Greek joint.
With Gil.

That's good to know.

Come on.
Let's get back on the freeway.

No,
h-hold on, Linden.

Gil took me there when I was
helping him move his crap out

after his old lady
kicked him out of the house.

Move it where?

To his storage locker,

which happens to be
right around back.

You've got to be kidding me.

Why'd you think
she kicked him out?

You take the front,
I?II take the back.

What'd you do?

Shut up, ass wipe.

Come on, move it!
I got to get back to work!

You know what a pain
in the ass this is?

How am I supposed to work
when you're in at the house

for two weeks, damn it?

I?II tell you something
right now, kid.

You better shape up,

or your life's gonna become
a nightmare.

For starters, you can forget
about Halloween.

No parties, no trick or treating.

What?!

You heard me.

Too much going on in my life

to have to deal with you
and your bullshit.

You used a bad word, dad.
That's right.

'Cause I'm tired of your brother
and his stupid stunts.

You know what else?

No TV, no video games
for three months.

Get in.

- You have to be kidding me.
- Don't push it!

You would never do something
like this to Rosie.

Because Rosie never pulled
crap like this!

She did a lot worse!

Everybody at school
knows what she did!

Shut your mouth.

I hate her.

And I'm glad she's dead.

I hate you!

- I hate you!
- Tommy, stop.

I wish I could leave you
like mom did!

- I hate you!
- Guess what!

I hate you, too!
You think I want to be here?!

I don't have a choice,
and neither do you!

Now, get in the truck!

Get in the truck, now!

I'll say it the last time,

I'm not making any kind of deal
with that woman.

Darren, you don't owe
these cops anything.

It is insane to throw this away
because of them.

It's not because of them.

I have no intention
of doing business

with that self-serving
charlatan.

She wants to build a museum.
What's the big deal?

You heard her, Jamie.

She reserves the right

to develop anything she wants
on that land.

Not to mention
her refusal of my...

That is a different problem
for a different day.

When you're mayor.

Why are we doing this?

Why are we doing what?

Why are we running
this campaign?

- Why am I running for mayor?
- Ch, Darren.

After everything
that's happened, Jamie,

it has to mean something,
or what's the point?

- First you have to win.
- At what cost?

The chances of you winning

and running
a squeaky-clean campaign

are nil at this point.

I don't believe that.

You do it your way, and see
what happens in four days.

He loves it
when you get idealistic.

I'm gonna lose this thing.

Aren't I?

Your own room, huh?

And an iPod. Wow.

Okay. Well, let me know
what math they put you in.

'Cause you're good at math

and you should be
in honors, okay?

Okay, I will.

I do, too.

Little man okay?

Yeah, he's great.

You know, it's gonna
take more than an iPod

to win him over.

The maid...

is willing to meet us
at the end cf her shift,

open the kitchen door
and avoid the cameras.

If we find the key.

You okay, Linden?

I'm fine.

'Cause you know...

You can talk to me.

About whatever.

If you want.
Look, I'm... I'm here.

I know you are.

So, can we find the key new?

Yeah, whatever you say, boss.

It's not in there.

Holder?

Yeah!

Yeah, we were gonna travel
every summer, right?

Peru, India, Europe.

Nothing ever turns out
the way you think it's gonna

when you're young, does it?

Mm-hmm.

Rosie is just like you.

Hey, lock,
for what it's worth...

I told Rosie she ought to wait
till she graduates

before taking off.

She didn't want to hear it.

But...

Taking off?

Oh, I-i figured she...
She told you by now.

Told me what?

About the... bus trip
to California,

to see the monarchs.

At the Pacific Grove, I think?

And, uh, from there she was
just gonna play it by ear.

I'm... i'm...
I'm sorry.

I... i assumed she was
on her way by now.

I told her to be sure
and say goodbye

to everyone that matters.

That people have a hard time
when you just disappear.

She'll tell you, Mitch.

She said she would.

David, I'm so sorry.

You've been so gracious,
but, um, it's really late

and I have to go.

Hey, uh, look,
I'm... I'm sorry

if I said something
I wasn't supposed to.

No. No, no, no.
It's fine.

Everything's...
everything's fine.

It's just, um...
it's just late.

So...

Uh...

Mitch, I just got to ask...

Is she mine?

No, she's Stan's.

It was really good
to see you again, David.

Tommy!
Denny, dinner!

You heard what I said.

I'm not hungry.

I'm sorry I...
lost my temper.

I don't like to get that way.

Tom, why did you hurt
those birds?

I don't know.

Did... did it make you
feel better?

No.

If you go, dad...

Who's gonna take care of us?

Denny, what are you
talking about?

Everybody leaves.

I know you want to go.

I lo...
I love you boys.

Huh?

I love you and...

You will never be alone.
I promise you that.

Does mom still love us?

Yes, of course.

Mom didn't leave
because she doesn't love you.

She left because...

she had stuff
to figure out.

I miss her.

Mom? I know.

I miss Rosie.

Mary's housekeeping shift
gets on at 7:00.

She said she'd prop the doors
open at 10 past.

Good.

Okay, the elevator bank is right
outside the kitchen.

It'll take you about 20 seconds
to get there.

As far as I remember,

there's a camera here, here,
and one inside the elevator,

so you got to keep
your head down.

Security clocks you,
and chances are they will,

crazy horse
and her prairie dogs

are gonna be just
a couple of minutes behind you,

so you got to work fast.

Sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

D.C. didn't agree with you?

Thank you for coming.

You're looking well.

I was intrigued
by your phone call.

- I have a proposal for you.
- A proposal?

I propose you walk away
from any deal with Chief Jackson

and the whole
waterfront project.

Now, why would I do that?

My father's always been a...

great fan of yours, Lesley.

- A real supporter.
- Mm.

Couldn't have done it with him.

What's your point?

Your political aspirations
lie beyond this city.

I know you've got your eye

on the seventh
congressional district,

in which case my father's
support will be... essential?

It's late, Gwen.

We can discuss my political
aspirations another time.

After I win this election.

I've been thinking a lot
about the summer

before my freshman year
of high school.

Dad was running for senate.

You were working
on his campaign.

Spent all that time
at our house.

Yeah?

That night after the rally?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I was 14 years old.

I think maybe
we see events differently.

I wonder how my father
will see it.

You think your father
didn't know?

Jesus.

Richmond must be
really desperate.

To put you up to this?

Yeah.

Why do we have
so many secrets, Stan?

There's so much
we never talked about.

Rosie hadn't been speaking
to us...

For months.

Why did we not ask her
what was wrong?

We did the best
we could, Mitch.

Rosie found a letter that...

I wrote to David
when I was pregnant.

A letter I never sent.

And she went to visit him
a few weeks ago.

And he said that she told him

that she was planning on...

She was leaving.

She was... she was going
on some sort of a trio.

She was leaving, Stan.

How are my boys?

The boys are okay.
How are you?

I got to go, Mitch.

You take care.

Mary,
Detective Linden calling again.

You were supposed to meet us

at the kitchen door
20 minutes ago.

Where are you?
Please call me.

Damn it, she's not coming.

We should give her time.

No, she's not coming.
She's scared.

Well, then we're screwed.

Stay in the car.
Linden!

Linden, what are you doing?

I'm going in.

That's a bad idea.
et me go instead.

You just got out
cf the hospital.

They're gonna be right on you.
You won't stand a chance.

Watch me.

Stay in the car.

Hey! What's up, guys?!

You winning!
You winning, right?

It's slick Rick
and Johnny Knoxville!

What's up, boy?
How you doing, man?

What you got there?
What you...

Show me your cards, man.

You winning?

- I love your haircut, man. I love..
- Sir? Sir.

- It's like... it's slick.
- You're not allowed to touch the players.

It's old-school slick.

What do you mean
"touch the players"?

We're friends.
We go way back.

If I touch him, it's cool,

- 'cause you love when I touch you, right?
- Sir?

Sir. You're not allowed
to touch the players.

- Everywhere I go...
- Sir.

People just, you know,
like, start winning.

You need to come with us.

I need to come with you.

I need to come with...
what?

Odd job, I just got here.
I'm not going anywhere.

Ali right?
Just, like, settle down.

Where are the ladies at,
anyway, man?

No, not like old ladles.

I'm talking about
real ladies, you know.

It ain't no party
without no trim.

Okay, that's enough.
You're leaving.

Hey, don't touch me, man!

I ain't done nothing, all right?
I just want my cellphone back.

We don't have your phone, sir.

You got my phone,
sneaky-G.

I know you got my phone.
I just want it back.

I ain't leaving here
until I get my phone back.

Hey, what's up, Bobby?
What's the haps?

What's going on?
It's been too long, mama.

You're one crazy son of a bitch
or incredibly stupid.

Yeah, well,
I'm a private citizen,

and I got my rights, all right?

I just want my phone, cupcake.

Probably fell out of my pocket

when you kicked the shit
out of me the other day!

Hey, people, better beware
of the she-wolf!

She?II crack your ribs.
Look at that, huh?

She?II crack your ribs.

Oh. I found my phone.
My bad.

All right, smile, Bobby.

Boom. Ooh, my boss at SPD
will love that one.

He'll love that one.

I got a gun, man!
What? What?

Forgot it in my car.
I'm gonna go get it.

I'll be right back, all right?

I?II see myself out.
It's okay.

Sayonara, Hiawatha.

This is Detective Linden.
Leave a message.

Damn it, Linden.

This is Detective Linden. Leave a message.
- Come on, Linden.

Come on.

Holder. I'm in.

What do you see?

A hallway.

All the rooms are bolted shut.

Walt.

I found the construction site.

Large room.

Been taken down to the studs.

No obvious sign of blood.

Why would Rosie come up here?

She wasn't working that night.

She didn't have to be
at the casino.

It's dark, isolated.

That's it.

That's the sound
from the voice-mail.

Generator.

The maid said they went up there
to smoke sometimes.

Rosie didn't take a ferry
from her house at 11:45 p.m.

Tc come up here
and bust a lung.

W-what about her backpack?

It had clothes, a camera.

Girl with dreams.

Her teacher said
she wanted to see the world.

Wanted something more
than what she had.

So, why was she hanging out
in a dusty construction site

in some crap casino
in the middle of the night?

What's that?

Sliding glass door
to the balcony.

Same sound as the voice-mail.

She went out here.

She came here
to lock at the city.

She was leaving
that night forever,

she came to say goodbye.

Linden?

Linden, yo, you there?

She was standing out here.

And that's when she saw Ames.

Rosie said on the voicemail...

"I saw him again."

He's standing in the room
with someone.

Who was it... Nicole?

She's willing to kill
to protect what's in this room.

They're having some kind
of meeting.

Rosie saw it,
and it got her killed.

This Is where it all started,
Holder.

Linden,
you got to get out of there.

It's been almost five minutes.

She's terrified.
She calls Alexi.

And then what?
They caught her?

What happened after that?

There was so much blood
on the backpack.

What did they do to her?

Linden, you got to go!

How did they get her
to the car?

There must have been
a struggle.

Rosie must have fought them.

There would have been blood
everywhere.

Linden,
turn off your flashlight

and get the hell out of there.

- What are you doing?
- It's a key card.

There was someone else
in here that night.

Besides Ames, besides Nicole.

Somebody from city hall.

A key card.

The mayor.

Damn it, Linden,
turn off your flashlight!

It's off.
