The Killing (2011–2014): Season 3, Episode 9 - Reckoning - full transcript

Kallie's mother Danette Lutz is still looking for her and returns home to find Joe Mills waiting for her. He beats her and is long gone by the time the police arrive. The police do get a break in the case when they learn Mills had a storage locker. Holder and Linden check it out and find that Mills has been living there. They practically wrap up the case when they find trophies belonging to several of the dead girls. They're not prepared for what they find in the trunk of his taxicab. Ray Seward's execution is fast approaching. Linden finally gets permission to interview Seward's son Adrian and he identifies the killer. It doesn't add up however. Twitch and Lyric find a new place to live.

Kallie?

Kallie?

Kallie

Kallie!

Hey babe

Where you been at?

I'm just saying, you know
Kid's got 20/20,

he knows his ABCs

1, 2, 3s

That's better than
most witnesses we got.

The state still
needs to know



if Adrian's mentally
stable enough

to be considered a
credible witness.

Psychologist
is on his way.

So, how long is it gonna
take for Dr. Spock

to do his mind-meld thing
before we can see Picasso?

We're gonna be here all day

It's okay
I got patience.

I'm a patient man

He saw the man who
killed his mom, Holder.

And he's remembering
more and more.

Linden

What?

When?

Okay, here we come



That son of a bitch..
He stole my money

Your money?

Dude must be
really desperate

He took my car, too

I already told him

Did, uh, Joe tell you
where he might be going?

Some out-of-town ass he
might have tagged or

Montessori he was
scouting for talent?

Holder

I thought it was Kallie

I thought she
had come home

You got to find him

He only wanted your money?

I.. I.. I don't..
I don't I don't know

He took a bunch
of his camping stuff

and his fishing stuff

Did he take anything else?

Uh, he asked me if, uh

if I still had snow
chains in my trunk

Does he have a cabin?

Someplace he
could hide out

No, he doesn't have
anything like that

What about camp sites, places
in the woods he would go?

You said he took his
camping and fishing gear

Um, he was

he was into backwoods
stuff back when we met,

but that was way up
along the border

Dispatch has the make and
model of Danette's car

Skinner's alerting
border patrol,

port authority is staging at
all the major freeway routes

and transitions on the border

Guy's got a
two-hour head start

If he's trying to cross
the border into Canada,

we're gonna be playing Where's
Waldo? forever, you know?

Yeah

I'll let you know
what we find

Danette has this old storage
unit in Rainier Valley

She remembers putting
away a lot of Mills'

old camping stuff there

I ain't rooting around some
damn storage unit, Linden

It's got his maps

all of his whole backwoods
topographical maps,

every place he ever camped,
hunted, fished

All right, then I mean,
you could have just said

I'll leave a message

It's for Detective
Sarah Linden

Tell her Ray

Seward called

I'll be waiting

You really think that
cop's gonna save you, Seward?

The lord works in
mysterious ways

So you found God now, huh?

You guys are like
clockwork, you know that?

Dale, you hear that?

You got a little Jesus
circle jerk buddy here

I'm getting out, Francis

And when I do, maybe I'll pay
a little visit to your wife,

have a go at her just
like everyone else in here

Come on!

- You can do better than that.
- Open the gate Francis?

Open the gate!

The psychologist is
still talking to him?

So, how long till Adrian's
cleared to speak with me?

Contact me immediately
when that happens

Power by the hour?

Actually, give me a smoke

No

What do you mean, "no"?

I mean, no

Seriously?

Yep

Oh, it's fine.
I get it

All I'm saying is, you
know, you buy a pack or two,

reciprocate the love
every now and then,

and, you know, we're back
to being BFFs again

Whatever I gave you one

You gave it to Bullet

What's going on?
You two break up?

She's unreliable

Can't trust her no more

Here it is
Can't have a C I like that

Damn

For being broke as shit,

Danette sure has
got a ton of it

That's why we couldn't
get eyes on him

Son of a bitch was holed
up here the whole time

Seriously, Linden, I was just
playing with you back there

If you need a
fix that bad

I'll head it off!
You cover the back!

Aah!

Linden!

Holder!

Holder!

Holder!

Talk to the medic?

I'm fine

What are we
charging him with?

Well, we're waiting to
hear back from the DA,

'cause we don't have anything
linking him yet to the bodies

Lieutenant!

Loo!

You need to see this

Christmas come early

Looks like his rings

We got him

All right, nobody
touches this stuff

until the forensics
and lab boys get here

Emily, get me the DA
Tell him it's urgent

All right, steady,
people, steady!

Moments like this, there's
an old police saying

First round's on me!

Hey, loo, you there?

We found Mills' cab down
on the ground floor

Bout to check it out

Think he's got another
body in the trunk

We found blood all
over the bumper

Don't open it!

Excuse me!

Coming through

It's stuck

Give me that thing

Holder!

Stop! Move!

Coming through

Get out of my way!

Don't open the trunk!

What?

Just come over here

Please, Holder

You don't need to be here

Holder, please don't

What'd the coroner say?

Same C O D as the other 18

She was dead less
than 12 hours

She fought back, right?

Yeah

Broken wrist, dozens
of defensive wounds

She didn't go quietly

You know, report says this
sick prick resisted arrest

Doesn't look like it to me

You?

Hmm?

Five minutes,
no witnesses?

No questions?

Just say the word

Holder

Just give him some time
He'll be all right

All right Where are we?

Forensics is running
tests on the rings,

match them to our bodies

Got our guys out there

showing photos of the
jewelry to the families

Help expedite the IDs

And what about
Trisha Seward?

Are we trying to connect
any of the rings to her?

We got 18 other girls to
worry about first, Sarah

So, let me question Mills

He's not talking to anyone

- Except his girlfriend
- Danette?

He insists he's
got to talk to her

Is that kosher, boss?

Well, whatever he tells
her is admissible

I want a confession

I don't give a
damn how we get it

There's no blue ring
with the other jewelry

Maybe he's gonna tell
us where Kallie is

Is it true that Joseph
Mills has been arrested

- in connection with this case?
- No comment

Can you confirm Joseph
Mills as the Pied Piper?

Excuse me

Stephen!

Hey

I heard what happened

Ohh, I'm sorry

But you know the reality

The the danger these kids
put themselves in every day

Yeah

It's their choice to
be out on the streets

It doesn't really
matter if she died

It's just another statistic

That's not what
I'm saying

You think this tattoo

Do you think it's cute?

What?

Do you even know
what it means?

I'm an addict!

A tweaker

I shot meth into
my veins every day

Just get out

Just get out!

I was at social services

Your P O gave me this

Listen

You're officially
off probation, baby

You can go to L.A now, start
modeling and and acting

My social worker, she said

she'd get one of those
new apartments for me

if I could get the deposit

So it's like

Great news for both of us

Baby?

Are you okay?

It It's It's Bullet

Hey, babe

You look good

Where's Kallie?

I don't know

You got to believe me
I didn't do any of this

Come on, you know me

You know I could
never hurt anybody

You had her cellphone

Yeah, I was trying to get
her away from the hotel

She was screaming at me,

and, like, she's high
as a kite or something

And the next thing I know,
she jumps out of my cab

and she just takes off

You never told me
that you saw her!

What did you do to
her in that hotel?

Nothing, Danette

I loved that kid

And you know that

All right, listen

Here's what
you're gonna do

You're gonna get
some money together

You and my mom

And you're gonna get
me a real lawyer

And you're gonna
get me out of here,

and then we're
gonna find her

Okay?

I promise you we
will find her,

and we will be
a family again

Okay?

- Babe
- I talked to your mother!

She told me.. she told me
what you did to those kids

She's done protecting you

She said that you're not
her little boy anymore

Bullshit

She She told me

She she told me everything

you did to those girls in
the hotel those films

Why?

Those little girls

They came to me

It's not wrong

It's nature

It can't be helped

They look at me

with that ache

that sweet, sweet ache

And they look at me with
those little sad eyes,

and they're like,
"Please, mister

Please "

Just make it go away "

I was gentle

And I took care of them

And I made it go away

What did you to her?

What did you
do to my baby?

What did you do to her?!

What did you do to my baby?!

Where's Kallie?

Where is she?!

Where's my daughter,
you son of a bitch?!

Where's Kallie?!

Where is my daughter?!

What did you do to her?!

Adrian

I'd like to talk
to you about

what happened to your mom on
the night of December 26, 2009

That night,

do you remember seeing anyone else in your apartment?

Besides your mom?

No one's gonna hurt
you if you did

I promise you

You can tell me

I'm gonna need you to
answer yes or no, okay?

It's for the tape recorder

Yes

You're doing great

What did you see
this man doing?

He hurt my mom

He had a knife

Can you tell me
where you were

when you saw this man
who hurt your mom?

In the closet

It was late,
and I woke up

It was late

Um, were the lights on
in your apartment?

Is that how you were
able to see him?

No It was dark

Um

The Christmas tree was on

My mom kept the lights on
the Christmas tree at night

That's how

Is the man you
saw that night,

the one with the knife
who hurt your mom,

in any of these photos?

Are you sure that was him?

You're positive?

Can I see my dad now?

From day one,

Joseph Mills has always
been a person of interest

And as the press liaison
reported earlier today,

due to excellent police work,

we have the suspect in
police custody at this time

Now, the important
thing is

the so-called "Pied Piper"
is finally off the streets,

and the city of Seattle
can rest easy tonight

Any more questions?

Got any messages for me?

Five from Elliot Bay

a Ray Seward

You've reached the Washington
Department of Corrections,

Elliot Bay Penitentiary

If you know your
party's extension,

please enter it now,
or press 1 for

Hey

You all right?

You want to sit?

Yeah

I think that I

I think I deserve this

Nobody deserves this

No

I pick messed-up guys

I know that I know

But Joe, he
was nice to me

He was nice to Kallie

He bought her these
Christmas presents

the first year we
were together and

I mean, they were..
they were late

but like at least he tried

He went off to Alaska,

and he was, like, saving up money to buy these things

I thought he was one of
the good ones, you know?

What'd he get her
for Christmas?

I don't know one of those dolls with the hair that grows

They're creepy,
if you ask me

Kallie was 12, but she
acted like a little girl

Wait, Kallie was 12?
This was three years ago?

Yeah

And Joe was in Alaska?

Yeah, on some boat,
fishing or something?

When? When was he there?

I I told you Christmas

I dropped him off at the
docks two weeks before,

and then he came back
at the end of January

So he wasn't
He wasn't here?

He wasn't in Seattle the day
after Christmas three years ago?

You're sure?

What what did I just say?

Did I just say some

Did I do something wrong?

Give me the phone!

I got to make a call!

It's my right!

Give me the phone!

Give me the phone!

You got your calls

You left your messages

She's not coming

Get me the phone

No one's coming for you

It's time you
understand that

Come on!

Oh, you know what?

I did get one message

I forgot

To Ray Seward,
from the State of Washington

"24 hours prior
to your execution,

you get an extra
hour yard time "

Yippee

Get as much air in
those lungs as you can

Ray

I know you're starting
to have doubts

But there's still time

There's always time

There's always hope

Don't give up

I'm gonna fall

Hey, hey, don't look

I got you

Just a little further

Okay

Where are we?

It's not much It's just, like, a place to start, you know?

You paid the deposit?

Mm-hmm

This is mine?!

No, it's..
it's ours

O ours?

- Huh?
- I I love it!

Oh, my God!

- Not bad, huh?
- It's so beautiful!

Nice little view

What about L A?

Oh, it was a dumb idea

I mean

You know

Being with you
is all I want

Huh? Is that good news?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

We got our own little pad

It's so clean

Mm

Green flower pot

You weren't gonna answer
the door if I knocked

It's not your fault

Did you ever talk to Adrian?

Yeah

He ID'd Mills,

but Mills was out of town
the night she was killed,

so Adrian lied

He must has seen him on TV

You know, it's
everywhere now

He was just trying
to make you happy

No one knows

that Mills was out of
town except Danette

So

I could still use Adrian's
testimony to get Seward a stay

It won't hold up, but

..it'll buy me some
more time, at least

You'd be burying evidence

Yeah, but Ray Seward's gonna
die tomorrow if I don't

I should have picked up

Don't do that
Don't do that

I should've
called her back

Don't do that. You want
to sit here and die?

It's not your fault

Mm I'm sorry

It's okay
It doesn't matter

It's okay.
It's okay

Oh, I'm sorry

It's okay

It's gonna be okay

It's gonna be okay

It's all gonna be okay

You hear that?

Crows

They're calling
to one another

They're heading home

We let each other down

People do It happens

I shouldn't have
trusted her

Will you..
see your boy tomorrow?

What was it like?

When your when
your son was born?

I was in prison
when he was born

I didn't see him till
he was seven months old

God's with you, Ray

He sees you

He

He does?

He knows that
you're scared

And alone

He knows the pain
that you feel

Every part of it

I don't know how to pray

So you can let it go, Ray

Let it go

God help me, please

He's got you

He's holding you up

Please, lord, save me

I'm so scared, God

Alton

was was easy

But you.. I.. I thought
you'd be harder to crack

Jesus, you should see
your face right now!

Oh, God

Yeah, on on on the outside, I used my hands

I felt them struggle,

fight back, and
then just give in

In here?

The words do the
killing for me

I've been killing you
since the day we met

Your hate, your rage

your damn

hope

Y'all are so predictable

Boring

Oh, God

I hate boring

I'm done!

Guy downtown's giving
me $500 for the shackles

Seward wears to
the execution

Another $300 for the hood
he wears over his face

Grab something tomorrow

These sickos pay
better than O T

I'm not on the
execution team

Name's on the list

What?

Becker said he
was short a man

Volunteered you

C Block Henderson

Oh, thank God it's you

- Who is this?
- It's Annie!

Oh, my God!
You've got to come!

- Annie?
- Oh, my God!

Calm down. I don't
understand what you're

- Francis shot him!
- He shot him?!

Oh, my God

Annie called the prison

She couldn't reach you
She called me

Some guy showed up

boyfriend, something

and your son shot him

Francis!

He didn't mean to do it!

He didn't mean to!

What's going on?

Hey

Just need to pick up the
body's personal effects,

log it into evidence

Ra.. Rachel Olmstead,
a k a "Bullet "

I thought Mills liked
killing girls, not boys

Sorry

Bad timing?

Yeah

For me and her
both, I guess

Meaning what?

Meaning her calling the station
a bunch of times last night

Wait, what the hell
are you talking about?

Oh, yeah

She was looking for you

Reddick logged it

Just figured it was
another wild goose chase

Sit Finish I'll get it

I got it

Better not be those
damn Amway people again

Holder

What

- You talked to her?!
- What the hell?

- You talked to Bullet?!
- I called you, damn it!

You son of a bitch!
You could have helped her!

Oh, my God Stop! Stop it!

- I tried, damn it!
- Stop!

You talked to her and
you didn't help her?!

- I tried calling you!
- Stop it!

- Get off!
- Stop!

Get her out of here

Guys were able to match most
of the rings to a victim

Couldn't ID these
four, though

DA's pressing Mills

Could be more bodies

Another dump site

How'd it go with Adrian?

I was wrong

There's no connection between
Trisha Seward and Mills

I'm sorry

But it's over.
We got the guy

For their families

We give them
that, at least

You going to the
execution tomorrow?

No

Well, I'm taking the guys
out for a couple of rounds

Cold drinks,
warm conversation

You interested?

I don't.. really feel
like celebrating

You did great work, Sarah

Great work

For whatever it's worth

I think that you
should stay on

This is where you belong
