The Killing (2011–2014): Season 3, Episode 12 - The Road to Hamelin - full transcript
Holder and Linden now believe that a police officer framed Joe Mills for the murders of the young women found in the swamp. When they learn that an officer known to both of them lived next door to the first victim, they think they have their man. With Angie Gower having been killed, they fear for the worse when Adrian Seward goes missing as it seems the killer is now tying up loose ends. As Linden tries to tie things up, Carl Reddick is nowhere to be found, Holder is pulled in by Internal Affairs for questioning and Lt. Skinner's marriage has broken up forcing him to move out of his house. Linden finds the proof she needs to definitively identify the killer when she spots Kallie Leeds' ring.
Come on, Adrian
Maybe he's not home
from school yet.
Adrian!
It's Detective Linden!
If you're here,
open up, please!
Mrs Clarke, where's Adrian?
We need to talk
to him right away.
Well, he doesn't
want to talk to you.
He doesn't need any
more reminders about
what happened to his father.
Please, just
leave him alone.
Please, Mrs Clarke,
this is very important
Maybe if you ask him if
he wants to talk to us?
- He's not home.
- You sure about that?
Whose backpack is that?
That's his.
But he always calls me
the minute he gets home.
That's the rule Adrian?
Could he have left,
gone to a friend's house?
No. He's supposed to stay here until I get back from work
Adrian? Honey?
Adrian?
Adrian?!
He's not here.
The back door was wide open.
Hey
Where's mom?
Just... wanted to spend some time with my little girl.
Mom said it was okay
How was class?
Fine
Do you like the new teacher?
That's jazz class
This is ballet.
Oh.
Do you love her?
Who?
The woman from work?
With the hair.
Mom told me.
That's great, you know?
We were supposed to
tell you together
Listen, just so you know,
it's got nothing
to do with you.
I don't know if you
could understand this..
but I can't be
something that I'm not.
I'm tired of it.
Listen.
But I will always
love you, honey.
Always love you.
I will always be the same person
you've known all your life.
Nothing's gonna
change that
- Whatever happens.
- Oh, my God, dad!
Everything's gonna change!
Not my love.. not
my love for you
Then why are you doing this?
Lieutenant Skinner.
It's a 20-minute walk home
He let himself in, dumped
his backpack in the hall,
somebody came
in and got him.
Or the guy was already in
the house waiting for him.
But either way,
Adrian is gone.
So it's been what?
An hour, hour and a half?
- Neighbors see anything?
- So far, no, nothing.
Jimmy?
We got the wrong guy.
It's not Joe Mills.
What are you talking about?
He killed Angie Gower
That's the body that we
found in the car this morning
And now he's got Adrian.
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Slow down. What are
you talking about?
Mills is in custody.
We just filed charges
against him today.
It's not him.
It's a cop.
Come here.
Come here.
Wait.
W.. what are you
guys talking about?
What the hell are
you talking about?
I know this is gonna
sound crazy, Loo,
but there's a lot of things
pointing to Reddick.
Okay, listen I know you guys had your differences, you know?
It's not that.
Just hear me out.
He was the one that took
Bullet's final phone call.
He tried to dump the
Ashley Kwon case.
on Jablonski, a
total incompetent.
Reddick knew the
first victim.
He lived next door to her.
He never told us
anything about this.
He loses Angie Gower
at the hospital
before the sketch
artist gets there
Angie was killed yesterday.
And now Adrian's gone
He is tying up loose ends.
Okay, where's, uh..
where's Reddick now?
We don't know.
Look, I know this is
really bad timing
It's bad for the
department and for you.
You think I give
a shit about that?
Okay, look, you guys
cover the scene here.
Look for the kid.
I'll track down Reddick
All right?
Loo, I need to be the
one to talk to him.
And I know he's got
a girl on the side,
and I think I know
where she lives.
No, no, you.. you two
stay on the case here.
Look for Adrian.
I got to send a
car out for him.
No, I.. I got to talk to him.
He was my partner.
Even the more reason for
you to step off All right?
- Is that clear?
- Yes, sir
All right, now, we keep this
quiet between the three of us.
And before we ruin a cop's
life and reputation,
we want to make sure.
'Cause so far we
don't have squat.
All right?
Detective Holder,
we got something.
I promised that I
would keep him safe.
Well, we're gonna
find him, trust me
Hey Gonna be all right.
Adrian just knocked
on the door
and asked if he
could come in
That was unusual.
Why.. did he say somethingto
indicate he was scared?
No. I mean, he's shy,
uh.. but...
He and Henry had had a
couple of play dates,
but they didn't hit it off.
And, yes, maybe he
was scared, I think
What do you mean?
He said someone
was following him.
Did he describe the
person or know who it was?
No.
I mean.. I just thought,
because of what happened to
his dad, that he was upset,
and that maybe he didn't want
to go home to an empty house.
I didn't see anyone
following him..
Wait. You didn't
let him stay here?
I had a doctor's appointment,
and Henry had karate,
so I.. I didn't let
him walk home alone.
I gave him a ride.
That was very kind of you.
Did you see anyone when
you dropped him off?
Maybe someone parked
in a car nearby?
I'm sorry.
I didn't see anyone.
All right. Thank you.
I need that
footage right away.
DOT's sending footage of
traffic cams between the school
and Adrian's house,
also the neighbor's house.
Maybe we'll get a
hit on Reddick's car.
What's he drive?
Gray Crown Vic Still
not picking up his phone.
Yeah, you're not supposed
to be calling him.
Whatever Let's check
the traffic footage
Then I'm gonna
take a drive
Got a feeling where
Reddick's holed up.
- Detective Holder?
- Yeah, what up?
I'm Investigator Alvarez.
Guggenheim Internal Affairs.
We need to speak
to you, Detective.
About what?
You just come with us
What's going on?
Another time, boys
I'm working a job right now.
So are we,
and you don't want to
walk in therein cuffs,
do you, Detective?
Why are you stopping him?
On what grounds?
I got this, Linden.
I'll catch you in a few
I'll call Skinner.
He'll clear it up.
Any word from Skinner?
He's not back yet?
Hey, Jimmy
It's me again
I need you to call
me back right away.
Holder's been taken
by IA for questioning.
I really need your help.
All right, call me. Please.
You requested the
traffic-cam footage, Sarah?
What?
For the missing kid,
Adrian Seward.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
This your kid?
That's him.
See this gray car
in the background?
It shows up again.. here,
near the neighbor's
house he went to
Have you seen Reddick?
Skinner needs
to talk to him.
He's.. he's looking for him
Oh, he didn't mention
anything about that to me,
but then again, he was in a
hurry to get out of here.
Skinner was here?
For a few minutes,
then he took off.
Said something about
a family emergency
Can we blow up this car?
Get a better visual on it?
Yeah, give it a shot
Look, just call
my supervisor.
He's gonna tell you what's
what so I can get out of here,
and then you can go do
whatever it is that you do
It's come to our attention
that you're harassing your
ex-partner, Carl Reddick.
What?
Is it true that you've made
numerous threatening phone calls
to him and to his family?
No.
It seems you've, uh, developed
some sort of fixation
with his daughter.
What, Reddick told you that?
You're serious?
Mind if we take a
look at your phone?
As long as you don't mind
the pictures of me
banging your
mama last night.
You assaulted Detective
Reddick in his own house
in front of his family...
is that correct?
Look, we had a little
misunderstanding,
but we're cool, all right?
Go talk to him if
you don't believe me
Better yet,
bring him in here,
and then we can all have
a little tete-a-tat.
Yeah, well,
Detective Reddick's
not the one under
investigation here.
Maybe he should be
James?
What are you doing?
Hey What are you doing here?
Holder was taken by IA.
I've been calling you.
They won't let me see him You've got to get him out
Yeah, I'll, uh.. yeah,
I'll take care of it
The traffic cams
show that there
was a gray car
stalking Adrian.
Here and.. and here.
Could be anyone's car.
Doesn't mean it's Reddick's.
Right?
So after all this, it really
does come down to your career?
Your reputation?
Reopening the case
would be too messy?
Yeah, you have no idea
what I'm thinking.
Okay, so tell me because
I don't.. I don't understand.
Just got to get
out of here.
Things have blown
up with Jen.
Just... just can't get
into it right now
James, right now we
need to find this car.
- We need to find Adrian.
- And we will. I promise
I don't understand why
you're not doing anything!
Because the case you and
Holder made against Reddick
is appallingly weak and
circumstantial at best.
Accusing a fellow cop
without hard evidence?
I mean, I'm surprised
at you, Sarah.
You used to be a thorough
and careful detective!
Sorry you feel that way
Listen. Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm just having
a horrible day.
I'm just trying to keep
it together, you know?
And I believe you.
Of course I do.
I believe you
You need to call IA.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is nice.
Bethany..
Bethany, come on.
Wait a second
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Bethany. Come here. Come here.
Are you really leaving?
Just for a little while
Just till your mom and I
have worked things out.
Hey I'm sorry I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please don't go, daddy.
It's gonna be all right Okay?
I love you, darling
I love you so much
Hey It's gonna be
all right Okay?
I'll see you soon, okay?
Yeah. Okay?
Yeah, it'll be all right.
That was awful.
I'm sorry.
You want to see him alive,
you'll come with me
Hand over your weapon.
Where is he?
Where is he?!
Get your hands
behind your back.
If you arrest me now,
you'll never see him again.
He'll die out there alone
Get in the car
Get in the car!
Shooting up with
your CI's in '09
Caught lifting meth
from an evidence locker.
You're a bona
fide tweak head.
I've been clean
for over two years.
I got to get in touch
with my partner, okay?
It's an emergency.
Just give me two
minutes on the phone.
You can talk to
her all you want
once we're done here, Steve.
Look, if the
reason I'm here is
because Reddick's been
feeding you a bunch of BS,
then call Lieutenant Skinner
and he'll set you
straight, all right?
I got to get out of here.
Hey, hey, sit down!
Reddick didn't
file the complaint.
Your lieutenant did.
- Skinner?
- That's right.
So calling him ain't
gonna do jack, Steve
Open the door.
Open the door.
Open the door!
No, you haven't got
anger-management issue.
Not one bit.
Look, my partner's
life is in danger,
you dumb son of a bitch.
Admit what you did
to Reddick, Steve.
I mean, your own partner.
I thought you two were tight,
loyal to the death
When did Skinner
file the complaint?
Right before we
swooped you up
So I don't think he's gonna
come and save you now.
Look, worst-case scenario..
you'll sit in the tank for
48 hours, see a shrink,
and you're back at your desk.
What's the big deal?
All right.
I might as well
come clean
Good.
Good.
I guess it's just like
the stress of the job
kind of got to me.
Reddick can be a mean
son of a bitch..
I mean a real dick
I planted a bomb in
Reddick's car this morning.
You know the armory
at the station?
It's four flash
bangs light,
and that's just my
ignition source.
And, Alvarez, I'd be real
careful scrolling through
my phone right now.
You might just set
it off, Holmes.
Bullshit.
Got about 35 minutes
until it's gonna blow.
If I were you,
I'd get my fat ass out of
this room and go get Reddick.
Where is he?!
Where the hell
is that dickhead?!
I know you've
got him in here!
Quit staring at me like
a bunch of schoolgirls!
Huh?!
Where's Holder?!
Reddick!
We're dealing with
it, all right?
I'm taking my wife
and kid bowling
Next thing I know the entire
bomb squad's all over my car,
and you're dealing with it?
We couldn't
take any chances
Holder's an idiot.
He's not Al-Qaeda
- Jesus!
- All right, calm.. calm down
Why don't you go take a
breather or something?
Where are your brain trusts
getting your intel from, anyway?
You couldn't solve a crime
if it fell out of the
sky and sat on your face!
My PBA rep's en route,
so I suggest you pull that
tampon out of your ass
and cut him loose.
Come on, Linden Pick up
your damn phone, all right?
You son of a bitch, you scared
the crap out of my wife and kid.
Deedee's still
popping Xanax.
It was a whack move, all right?
I had to get out of there.
Look, I need your help.
Hey, pal, that is the last
favor I will ever do for you.
You need
professional help.
Ray Seward's kid's
gone missing.
What are you talking about?
I don't have time to explain,
but I need you to find him
Missing? How long's
he been gone?
We got an APB out on him.
We got units
on the street.
Where the hell you going?
I got to go find the son
of a bitch who set me up.
No, you want to see Adrian,
you turn that off
Shut up.
Now, Holder's a good cop
But he'll be a better one once
he learns a little self-control.
You had him detained by IA.
You were getting
too close too fast
Never wanted this to happen.
Including kidnapping Adrian?
Where is he?
I understand how
upsetting this is,
but your hands
are trembling
It's making me a
little nervous.
Blowing my brains out right now
is not gonna help anyone
So.. We'll be there soon.
Don't worry.
Yes What is it?
I'm Detective
Stephen Holder.
Is your husband here?
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Don't you people know
how to use a phone?
He's not answering
his phone.
Well, he's not here.
He left 20 minutes ago.
Where'd he go?
I don't know.
Listen, lady
You don't seem
to understand
I need to know where the hell
your husband is right now
Then ask his girlfriend,
and get your foot out of
the door before I break it.
Wait. His girlfriend?
Y.. you're talking
about Detective Linden?
Yes Her.
She was here?
They left together?
Yes
What is wrong with you?
Where's the lake house?
Where's the lake house?
You had to take that
case this morning.
That changed everything
Now, why couldn't
you walk away?"
Walk away.
"Things would be
different right now
For both of us.
Well.. I don't expect
you to understand.
Understand what?
That you murdered 21 girls?
No, I don't understand that.
How could I understand that?!
How could anybody
understand that?!
How do I even know that
you're taking me to Adrian
or that he's alive?
You don't
But I told you he was
You used to trust me
implicitly, Sarah.
This morning in
your kitchen..
Don't do that.
I thought it was a
beginning for us
Don't do that!
I wanted to change for you.
And I thought I could.
'Cause I have been alone..
for... for too long.
For too long
And so have you.
So have you.
You and I are
nothing alike.
You have reached the voicemail
of Detective Sarah Linden.
Linden, pick up
your damn phone!
as soon as I can.
Call me back.
You think you know
what this is, Sarah?
You don't
The first one
was an accident.
Her name was Brigitte
It was Brigitte Delahanty.
She was in the
Junior Officers program
Is that where you met her?
Reddick brought her in.
And I tried to help her.
Then one day she
doesn't show up.
You know?
And I go looking for her.
Now I'm missing my
kid's softball game,
for Christ's sake
And this little crackhead
couldn't give a damn.
Then I find her on
the street.. high
Turning tricks.
So..
So I make her
get in my car.
You know?
She spits at me.
So I hit her.
I mean, it was
almost a reflex.
And.. she's bleeding now.
And she's looking at me..
with that face..
with those eyes.
And, uh, now I know
that she's gonna tell.
She's gonna bring me down,
destroy everything..
everything that
I worked for
So, I take her
out to the woods,
and..
I don't remember
much after that.
It was quiet.
What?
Afterwards.
I mean, she didn't cry,
she didn't scream, she didn't.
She just.. She
just looked at me.
You know, their eyes..
when they know
that it's the end,
they look at you like..
- like no one else
- Stop it.
When you go past the pain,
you pass the animal terror..
there's nothing else..
nothing else in
the world like it.
But you're a father.
You're.
You have Bethany.
You adore her.
She's no different than..
than these girls
that you killed.
They're just
junkies, whores.
They're just a burden
to their families.
I mean, they're everywhere.
They're under bridges,
they're just walking
alone at night.
They're in cheap,
amateur porn video.
And nobody sees them.
Because nobody cares.
Just...
human garbage.
So you just killed them?
I saved them from the
inevitability of their lives.
You're a monster
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know if
this is anything,
but I'm at the
foster mom's house.
I found something in
the kid's backpack.
- What?
- Something he wrote for school
"I don't want to be alone
That's what scares me.
If my dad does die,
I want to be with my mom
"His mom's dead.
I know.
You don't think the kid would
try and off himself, do you?
Nah, he's a kid.
He.. he probably
meant his foster mom
Yeah, that's
what I thought.
Just grasping at straws.
Okay. Let me check
something out.
I'll get back to you
You went to kill
Adrian that night.
Trisha Seward just
got in the way.
No, no, no
I never meant to kill him.
No, the tree house was
far from the water.
I wasn't sure
how much he saw,
so I just wanted to talk
to him, see what he knew.
That's all
You went to his apartment
at one in the morning.
To talk to him?
Quit lying to me.
You went there
to kill him.
No, if I wanted to kill him
I could have a dozen times.
But he didn't remember me.
I mean, that's when I knew
that I was.. I was free.
Until you kidnapped him.
Why did you take
him to this place?'
Cause of you.
You said he was
starting to remember.
You were helping
him remember.
So, you left me
no choice, Sarah
Did you kill him?
Well, you know,
I should have
I'd be long gone by now.
I couldn't do it.
I don't kill children.
They're all children!
No. There's a difference
between 6 and 16
They were 12-year-old girls!
How do you do that?!
I don't need excuses.
What about you?
What's your excuse?
Why are you here? Hmm?
Are you here for Adrian,
or is it because you
need to understand
how you could have made love
to me just a few hours ago?
Don't do that.
It meant something, Sarah.
Admit it.
You loved me, Sarah.
Because I didn't know you.
No.
But a part of you did.
Part of you did.
What are you talking about?
No, you knew something
You knew something
I mean, that's why you
ended up in the hospital
But you still loved me
Oh, you.. you bastard!
You son of a bitch!
- Don't you make this about me!
- You're gonna kill us both.
- Sarah, stop!
- What are you gonna do?!
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
Just get away from me!
Just get back in the car!
Get back in the car.
Where is he?
Not far
What is this place?
The lake house.
I wish you would have
seen it in the daylight
The water's beautiful.
Cold and deep.
Is this where
you put Kallie?
Kallie Leeds.
The missing girl
with the red hair
You don't remember her?
You gave her ring
to your daughter
She had blue eyes..
and these little
star earrings.
Are there more
girls in the lake?
And other places
No one will
ever find them.
It's the loneliest
thing in the world,
waiting to be found.
It's exhausting to
hide, to pretend
I don't have to
pretend anymore.
Not with you.
And it was working
out so well.
That Joe Mills,
that waste of life.
I planted those rings.
I put that girl
in the trunk.
Perfect.
Her name was Bullet
Yeah.
She called headquarters.
She thought she
was being clever,
leaving a message
for Holder
"I know who it is.
"So I had to go to her.
You understand?
I should have seen.
You didn't see because
you didn't want to see.
Where is Adrian?
Get out of the car
Adrian!
Adrian?
Where is he?
Where's Adrian?
He's been with us
the whole time.
He's in the trunk.
Give me the keys!
Give me those keys.
Adrian?
You okay?
Yeah.
I'm a police officer
It's gonna be okay.
Holder.
Give me the keys
You know, those girls..
they weren't that
innocent, Sarah.
You should have seen
what they did with me.
Shut up!
Shut your filthy mouth,
you son of a bitch.
Give me those keys.
I lied.
If there is one
thing I regret..
it's killing that boy.
No.
Killing Adrian off, 'cause
I don't.. I don't do that
I don't kill
little children
Linden!
Linden!
You okay, Linden?
Aah.
You okay?
We got him
Adrian.. he's alive.
Reddick found him
He's with him right now.
Adrian's alive.
He's fine
Put the gun down
Linden.
Linden. Look at me
He wants you to do this
Put the gun down
Put the gun down, Linden.
Look at me, Sarah.
Look at me.
It's got to be you.
You loved me.
- You loved me.
- Linden.
- You.. you love me.
- It's over.
Look at me. Oh, no!
Oh, no! No. No, no, no.
Maybe he's not home
from school yet.
Adrian!
It's Detective Linden!
If you're here,
open up, please!
Mrs Clarke, where's Adrian?
We need to talk
to him right away.
Well, he doesn't
want to talk to you.
He doesn't need any
more reminders about
what happened to his father.
Please, just
leave him alone.
Please, Mrs Clarke,
this is very important
Maybe if you ask him if
he wants to talk to us?
- He's not home.
- You sure about that?
Whose backpack is that?
That's his.
But he always calls me
the minute he gets home.
That's the rule Adrian?
Could he have left,
gone to a friend's house?
No. He's supposed to stay here until I get back from work
Adrian? Honey?
Adrian?
Adrian?!
He's not here.
The back door was wide open.
Hey
Where's mom?
Just... wanted to spend some time with my little girl.
Mom said it was okay
How was class?
Fine
Do you like the new teacher?
That's jazz class
This is ballet.
Oh.
Do you love her?
Who?
The woman from work?
With the hair.
Mom told me.
That's great, you know?
We were supposed to
tell you together
Listen, just so you know,
it's got nothing
to do with you.
I don't know if you
could understand this..
but I can't be
something that I'm not.
I'm tired of it.
Listen.
But I will always
love you, honey.
Always love you.
I will always be the same person
you've known all your life.
Nothing's gonna
change that
- Whatever happens.
- Oh, my God, dad!
Everything's gonna change!
Not my love.. not
my love for you
Then why are you doing this?
Lieutenant Skinner.
It's a 20-minute walk home
He let himself in, dumped
his backpack in the hall,
somebody came
in and got him.
Or the guy was already in
the house waiting for him.
But either way,
Adrian is gone.
So it's been what?
An hour, hour and a half?
- Neighbors see anything?
- So far, no, nothing.
Jimmy?
We got the wrong guy.
It's not Joe Mills.
What are you talking about?
He killed Angie Gower
That's the body that we
found in the car this morning
And now he's got Adrian.
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Slow down. What are
you talking about?
Mills is in custody.
We just filed charges
against him today.
It's not him.
It's a cop.
Come here.
Come here.
Wait.
W.. what are you
guys talking about?
What the hell are
you talking about?
I know this is gonna
sound crazy, Loo,
but there's a lot of things
pointing to Reddick.
Okay, listen I know you guys had your differences, you know?
It's not that.
Just hear me out.
He was the one that took
Bullet's final phone call.
He tried to dump the
Ashley Kwon case.
on Jablonski, a
total incompetent.
Reddick knew the
first victim.
He lived next door to her.
He never told us
anything about this.
He loses Angie Gower
at the hospital
before the sketch
artist gets there
Angie was killed yesterday.
And now Adrian's gone
He is tying up loose ends.
Okay, where's, uh..
where's Reddick now?
We don't know.
Look, I know this is
really bad timing
It's bad for the
department and for you.
You think I give
a shit about that?
Okay, look, you guys
cover the scene here.
Look for the kid.
I'll track down Reddick
All right?
Loo, I need to be the
one to talk to him.
And I know he's got
a girl on the side,
and I think I know
where she lives.
No, no, you.. you two
stay on the case here.
Look for Adrian.
I got to send a
car out for him.
No, I.. I got to talk to him.
He was my partner.
Even the more reason for
you to step off All right?
- Is that clear?
- Yes, sir
All right, now, we keep this
quiet between the three of us.
And before we ruin a cop's
life and reputation,
we want to make sure.
'Cause so far we
don't have squat.
All right?
Detective Holder,
we got something.
I promised that I
would keep him safe.
Well, we're gonna
find him, trust me
Hey Gonna be all right.
Adrian just knocked
on the door
and asked if he
could come in
That was unusual.
Why.. did he say somethingto
indicate he was scared?
No. I mean, he's shy,
uh.. but...
He and Henry had had a
couple of play dates,
but they didn't hit it off.
And, yes, maybe he
was scared, I think
What do you mean?
He said someone
was following him.
Did he describe the
person or know who it was?
No.
I mean.. I just thought,
because of what happened to
his dad, that he was upset,
and that maybe he didn't want
to go home to an empty house.
I didn't see anyone
following him..
Wait. You didn't
let him stay here?
I had a doctor's appointment,
and Henry had karate,
so I.. I didn't let
him walk home alone.
I gave him a ride.
That was very kind of you.
Did you see anyone when
you dropped him off?
Maybe someone parked
in a car nearby?
I'm sorry.
I didn't see anyone.
All right. Thank you.
I need that
footage right away.
DOT's sending footage of
traffic cams between the school
and Adrian's house,
also the neighbor's house.
Maybe we'll get a
hit on Reddick's car.
What's he drive?
Gray Crown Vic Still
not picking up his phone.
Yeah, you're not supposed
to be calling him.
Whatever Let's check
the traffic footage
Then I'm gonna
take a drive
Got a feeling where
Reddick's holed up.
- Detective Holder?
- Yeah, what up?
I'm Investigator Alvarez.
Guggenheim Internal Affairs.
We need to speak
to you, Detective.
About what?
You just come with us
What's going on?
Another time, boys
I'm working a job right now.
So are we,
and you don't want to
walk in therein cuffs,
do you, Detective?
Why are you stopping him?
On what grounds?
I got this, Linden.
I'll catch you in a few
I'll call Skinner.
He'll clear it up.
Any word from Skinner?
He's not back yet?
Hey, Jimmy
It's me again
I need you to call
me back right away.
Holder's been taken
by IA for questioning.
I really need your help.
All right, call me. Please.
You requested the
traffic-cam footage, Sarah?
What?
For the missing kid,
Adrian Seward.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
This your kid?
That's him.
See this gray car
in the background?
It shows up again.. here,
near the neighbor's
house he went to
Have you seen Reddick?
Skinner needs
to talk to him.
He's.. he's looking for him
Oh, he didn't mention
anything about that to me,
but then again, he was in a
hurry to get out of here.
Skinner was here?
For a few minutes,
then he took off.
Said something about
a family emergency
Can we blow up this car?
Get a better visual on it?
Yeah, give it a shot
Look, just call
my supervisor.
He's gonna tell you what's
what so I can get out of here,
and then you can go do
whatever it is that you do
It's come to our attention
that you're harassing your
ex-partner, Carl Reddick.
What?
Is it true that you've made
numerous threatening phone calls
to him and to his family?
No.
It seems you've, uh, developed
some sort of fixation
with his daughter.
What, Reddick told you that?
You're serious?
Mind if we take a
look at your phone?
As long as you don't mind
the pictures of me
banging your
mama last night.
You assaulted Detective
Reddick in his own house
in front of his family...
is that correct?
Look, we had a little
misunderstanding,
but we're cool, all right?
Go talk to him if
you don't believe me
Better yet,
bring him in here,
and then we can all have
a little tete-a-tat.
Yeah, well,
Detective Reddick's
not the one under
investigation here.
Maybe he should be
James?
What are you doing?
Hey What are you doing here?
Holder was taken by IA.
I've been calling you.
They won't let me see him You've got to get him out
Yeah, I'll, uh.. yeah,
I'll take care of it
The traffic cams
show that there
was a gray car
stalking Adrian.
Here and.. and here.
Could be anyone's car.
Doesn't mean it's Reddick's.
Right?
So after all this, it really
does come down to your career?
Your reputation?
Reopening the case
would be too messy?
Yeah, you have no idea
what I'm thinking.
Okay, so tell me because
I don't.. I don't understand.
Just got to get
out of here.
Things have blown
up with Jen.
Just... just can't get
into it right now
James, right now we
need to find this car.
- We need to find Adrian.
- And we will. I promise
I don't understand why
you're not doing anything!
Because the case you and
Holder made against Reddick
is appallingly weak and
circumstantial at best.
Accusing a fellow cop
without hard evidence?
I mean, I'm surprised
at you, Sarah.
You used to be a thorough
and careful detective!
Sorry you feel that way
Listen. Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm just having
a horrible day.
I'm just trying to keep
it together, you know?
And I believe you.
Of course I do.
I believe you
You need to call IA.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is nice.
Bethany..
Bethany, come on.
Wait a second
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Bethany. Come here. Come here.
Are you really leaving?
Just for a little while
Just till your mom and I
have worked things out.
Hey I'm sorry I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please don't go, daddy.
It's gonna be all right Okay?
I love you, darling
I love you so much
Hey It's gonna be
all right Okay?
I'll see you soon, okay?
Yeah. Okay?
Yeah, it'll be all right.
That was awful.
I'm sorry.
You want to see him alive,
you'll come with me
Hand over your weapon.
Where is he?
Where is he?!
Get your hands
behind your back.
If you arrest me now,
you'll never see him again.
He'll die out there alone
Get in the car
Get in the car!
Shooting up with
your CI's in '09
Caught lifting meth
from an evidence locker.
You're a bona
fide tweak head.
I've been clean
for over two years.
I got to get in touch
with my partner, okay?
It's an emergency.
Just give me two
minutes on the phone.
You can talk to
her all you want
once we're done here, Steve.
Look, if the
reason I'm here is
because Reddick's been
feeding you a bunch of BS,
then call Lieutenant Skinner
and he'll set you
straight, all right?
I got to get out of here.
Hey, hey, sit down!
Reddick didn't
file the complaint.
Your lieutenant did.
- Skinner?
- That's right.
So calling him ain't
gonna do jack, Steve
Open the door.
Open the door.
Open the door!
No, you haven't got
anger-management issue.
Not one bit.
Look, my partner's
life is in danger,
you dumb son of a bitch.
Admit what you did
to Reddick, Steve.
I mean, your own partner.
I thought you two were tight,
loyal to the death
When did Skinner
file the complaint?
Right before we
swooped you up
So I don't think he's gonna
come and save you now.
Look, worst-case scenario..
you'll sit in the tank for
48 hours, see a shrink,
and you're back at your desk.
What's the big deal?
All right.
I might as well
come clean
Good.
Good.
I guess it's just like
the stress of the job
kind of got to me.
Reddick can be a mean
son of a bitch..
I mean a real dick
I planted a bomb in
Reddick's car this morning.
You know the armory
at the station?
It's four flash
bangs light,
and that's just my
ignition source.
And, Alvarez, I'd be real
careful scrolling through
my phone right now.
You might just set
it off, Holmes.
Bullshit.
Got about 35 minutes
until it's gonna blow.
If I were you,
I'd get my fat ass out of
this room and go get Reddick.
Where is he?!
Where the hell
is that dickhead?!
I know you've
got him in here!
Quit staring at me like
a bunch of schoolgirls!
Huh?!
Where's Holder?!
Reddick!
We're dealing with
it, all right?
I'm taking my wife
and kid bowling
Next thing I know the entire
bomb squad's all over my car,
and you're dealing with it?
We couldn't
take any chances
Holder's an idiot.
He's not Al-Qaeda
- Jesus!
- All right, calm.. calm down
Why don't you go take a
breather or something?
Where are your brain trusts
getting your intel from, anyway?
You couldn't solve a crime
if it fell out of the
sky and sat on your face!
My PBA rep's en route,
so I suggest you pull that
tampon out of your ass
and cut him loose.
Come on, Linden Pick up
your damn phone, all right?
You son of a bitch, you scared
the crap out of my wife and kid.
Deedee's still
popping Xanax.
It was a whack move, all right?
I had to get out of there.
Look, I need your help.
Hey, pal, that is the last
favor I will ever do for you.
You need
professional help.
Ray Seward's kid's
gone missing.
What are you talking about?
I don't have time to explain,
but I need you to find him
Missing? How long's
he been gone?
We got an APB out on him.
We got units
on the street.
Where the hell you going?
I got to go find the son
of a bitch who set me up.
No, you want to see Adrian,
you turn that off
Shut up.
Now, Holder's a good cop
But he'll be a better one once
he learns a little self-control.
You had him detained by IA.
You were getting
too close too fast
Never wanted this to happen.
Including kidnapping Adrian?
Where is he?
I understand how
upsetting this is,
but your hands
are trembling
It's making me a
little nervous.
Blowing my brains out right now
is not gonna help anyone
So.. We'll be there soon.
Don't worry.
Yes What is it?
I'm Detective
Stephen Holder.
Is your husband here?
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Don't you people know
how to use a phone?
He's not answering
his phone.
Well, he's not here.
He left 20 minutes ago.
Where'd he go?
I don't know.
Listen, lady
You don't seem
to understand
I need to know where the hell
your husband is right now
Then ask his girlfriend,
and get your foot out of
the door before I break it.
Wait. His girlfriend?
Y.. you're talking
about Detective Linden?
Yes Her.
She was here?
They left together?
Yes
What is wrong with you?
Where's the lake house?
Where's the lake house?
You had to take that
case this morning.
That changed everything
Now, why couldn't
you walk away?"
Walk away.
"Things would be
different right now
For both of us.
Well.. I don't expect
you to understand.
Understand what?
That you murdered 21 girls?
No, I don't understand that.
How could I understand that?!
How could anybody
understand that?!
How do I even know that
you're taking me to Adrian
or that he's alive?
You don't
But I told you he was
You used to trust me
implicitly, Sarah.
This morning in
your kitchen..
Don't do that.
I thought it was a
beginning for us
Don't do that!
I wanted to change for you.
And I thought I could.
'Cause I have been alone..
for... for too long.
For too long
And so have you.
So have you.
You and I are
nothing alike.
You have reached the voicemail
of Detective Sarah Linden.
Linden, pick up
your damn phone!
as soon as I can.
Call me back.
You think you know
what this is, Sarah?
You don't
The first one
was an accident.
Her name was Brigitte
It was Brigitte Delahanty.
She was in the
Junior Officers program
Is that where you met her?
Reddick brought her in.
And I tried to help her.
Then one day she
doesn't show up.
You know?
And I go looking for her.
Now I'm missing my
kid's softball game,
for Christ's sake
And this little crackhead
couldn't give a damn.
Then I find her on
the street.. high
Turning tricks.
So..
So I make her
get in my car.
You know?
She spits at me.
So I hit her.
I mean, it was
almost a reflex.
And.. she's bleeding now.
And she's looking at me..
with that face..
with those eyes.
And, uh, now I know
that she's gonna tell.
She's gonna bring me down,
destroy everything..
everything that
I worked for
So, I take her
out to the woods,
and..
I don't remember
much after that.
It was quiet.
What?
Afterwards.
I mean, she didn't cry,
she didn't scream, she didn't.
She just.. She
just looked at me.
You know, their eyes..
when they know
that it's the end,
they look at you like..
- like no one else
- Stop it.
When you go past the pain,
you pass the animal terror..
there's nothing else..
nothing else in
the world like it.
But you're a father.
You're.
You have Bethany.
You adore her.
She's no different than..
than these girls
that you killed.
They're just
junkies, whores.
They're just a burden
to their families.
I mean, they're everywhere.
They're under bridges,
they're just walking
alone at night.
They're in cheap,
amateur porn video.
And nobody sees them.
Because nobody cares.
Just...
human garbage.
So you just killed them?
I saved them from the
inevitability of their lives.
You're a monster
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know if
this is anything,
but I'm at the
foster mom's house.
I found something in
the kid's backpack.
- What?
- Something he wrote for school
"I don't want to be alone
That's what scares me.
If my dad does die,
I want to be with my mom
"His mom's dead.
I know.
You don't think the kid would
try and off himself, do you?
Nah, he's a kid.
He.. he probably
meant his foster mom
Yeah, that's
what I thought.
Just grasping at straws.
Okay. Let me check
something out.
I'll get back to you
You went to kill
Adrian that night.
Trisha Seward just
got in the way.
No, no, no
I never meant to kill him.
No, the tree house was
far from the water.
I wasn't sure
how much he saw,
so I just wanted to talk
to him, see what he knew.
That's all
You went to his apartment
at one in the morning.
To talk to him?
Quit lying to me.
You went there
to kill him.
No, if I wanted to kill him
I could have a dozen times.
But he didn't remember me.
I mean, that's when I knew
that I was.. I was free.
Until you kidnapped him.
Why did you take
him to this place?'
Cause of you.
You said he was
starting to remember.
You were helping
him remember.
So, you left me
no choice, Sarah
Did you kill him?
Well, you know,
I should have
I'd be long gone by now.
I couldn't do it.
I don't kill children.
They're all children!
No. There's a difference
between 6 and 16
They were 12-year-old girls!
How do you do that?!
I don't need excuses.
What about you?
What's your excuse?
Why are you here? Hmm?
Are you here for Adrian,
or is it because you
need to understand
how you could have made love
to me just a few hours ago?
Don't do that.
It meant something, Sarah.
Admit it.
You loved me, Sarah.
Because I didn't know you.
No.
But a part of you did.
Part of you did.
What are you talking about?
No, you knew something
You knew something
I mean, that's why you
ended up in the hospital
But you still loved me
Oh, you.. you bastard!
You son of a bitch!
- Don't you make this about me!
- You're gonna kill us both.
- Sarah, stop!
- What are you gonna do?!
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
Just get away from me!
Just get back in the car!
Get back in the car.
Where is he?
Not far
What is this place?
The lake house.
I wish you would have
seen it in the daylight
The water's beautiful.
Cold and deep.
Is this where
you put Kallie?
Kallie Leeds.
The missing girl
with the red hair
You don't remember her?
You gave her ring
to your daughter
She had blue eyes..
and these little
star earrings.
Are there more
girls in the lake?
And other places
No one will
ever find them.
It's the loneliest
thing in the world,
waiting to be found.
It's exhausting to
hide, to pretend
I don't have to
pretend anymore.
Not with you.
And it was working
out so well.
That Joe Mills,
that waste of life.
I planted those rings.
I put that girl
in the trunk.
Perfect.
Her name was Bullet
Yeah.
She called headquarters.
She thought she
was being clever,
leaving a message
for Holder
"I know who it is.
"So I had to go to her.
You understand?
I should have seen.
You didn't see because
you didn't want to see.
Where is Adrian?
Get out of the car
Adrian!
Adrian?
Where is he?
Where's Adrian?
He's been with us
the whole time.
He's in the trunk.
Give me the keys!
Give me those keys.
Adrian?
You okay?
Yeah.
I'm a police officer
It's gonna be okay.
Holder.
Give me the keys
You know, those girls..
they weren't that
innocent, Sarah.
You should have seen
what they did with me.
Shut up!
Shut your filthy mouth,
you son of a bitch.
Give me those keys.
I lied.
If there is one
thing I regret..
it's killing that boy.
No.
Killing Adrian off, 'cause
I don't.. I don't do that
I don't kill
little children
Linden!
Linden!
You okay, Linden?
Aah.
You okay?
We got him
Adrian.. he's alive.
Reddick found him
He's with him right now.
Adrian's alive.
He's fine
Put the gun down
Linden.
Linden. Look at me
He wants you to do this
Put the gun down
Put the gun down, Linden.
Look at me, Sarah.
Look at me.
It's got to be you.
You loved me.
- You loved me.
- Linden.
- You.. you love me.
- It's over.
Look at me. Oh, no!
Oh, no! No. No, no, no.
