The Killing (2011–2014): Season 4, Episode 2 - Unraveling - full transcript

Man: Point of origin is
186 centimeters from the wall.

After consulting the surgeon,
it was determined

That the bullet struck
kyle stansbury's head

At a negative-17-degree angle

And exited with a
negative-28-degree trajectory.

Based on that and the position
of the victim's body,

Our ballistics tests indicate
that the point of impact...

...Between the bullet
and the victim

Was approximately
106 centimeters from the ground,

About 31/2 feet.

So kyle was on his knees
when he got shot.



Very likely.

It's execution style.

Or he was on his knees
'cause he was sorry

About what he just did
and was about to off himself.

There were two guns.

So the army of one could have
ditched the other nina

Before he came
to his senses.

The s.I.D. Report said
that there were no gsr traces

On either hand of the victim?

Um...

Uh...

Is that, um...Consistent

With other suicides
you've dealt with before?

It's not uncommon.



The hand closest
to the 9-millimeter

Was sitting in a pool of blood,

So any gunshot residue
could have been contaminated.

Scientifically speaking,
doctor,

Did he off himself
or did someone else do it?

Our ballistic tests were not
able to positively determine

The distance from which
the gun was fired, so...

Could be either a homicide
or a suicide.

For real?

You got all this
fancy-ass sci-fi shit,

And that's all
you can tell me?

We're dealing with

A very scientifically unique
situation here, detective.

Jesus christ, linden.

You got to keep it together,
at least in public.

Bethany showed up at my house
last night looking for her dad.

I told her
i didn't know where he was,

But she didn't
believe me.

So what?

She's just some stupid kid
whose parents have got problems.

Nobody's gonna
believe her.

She knows that i'm lying.
She's not gonna give up.

Calm down.

We're good.
Okay? Trust me.

Linden? Linden!

Atten-hut!

At ease, cadets.
Have a seat.

By now, you're all well aware
that a tragic event

Has befallen your fellow cadet
kyle stansbury and his family.

Today, cadet stansbury

Will be rejoining us
here at st. George's.

On this campus,
we are a family.

What happens to one of us
happens to all of us.

And as a family,
we will all move forward.

I expect all of you to help your
brother reacclimate to life here

And grant him
the respect he deserves

In the wake of this tragedy.

Yes, cadet.

Ma'am,
but didn't he do it, ma'am?

Let me make this clear,

Because
i will not repeat myself...

Any stories or rumors
you've heard

About cadet stansbury's
involvement in this incident

Have no merit.

Civilians outside these walls
ground their lives

In presumption and supposition

Instead of discipline
and purpose.

But at st. George's,

We hold ourselves
to a higher standard.

We live our lives
according to a code

Of truth, duty, honor,
and integrity.

Make no mistake, cadets...

Anyone who defies my orders

Will be dealt with
in the most severe fashion.

There is now a new
zero-tolerance policy

In effect at st. George's.

Is my message clear?

Cadets:
Ma'am, yes, ma'am!

Battalion,
all rise for vespers!

Atten-hut!

Jesus christ, man.

You're even more
of a fucking freak now.

You seriously don't remember
shit from that night?

it's okay, buddy.

Amnesia's a bitch.

Heard your little sis took it
right in the face, though.

Too bad.

She was gonna be one fine
piece of pussy one day.

Woman: 911.
What's your emergency?

Emmett: I heard gunshots,
six or seven of them.

They were coming
from the stansbury house.

Sir,
do you have an address?

Yes, i do.

They reside
at 8327 ferndell lane.

Emmett deschler,
neighbor.

He sounds so calm,
like he's ordering takeout

Instead of calling in
a shooting.

Those ballistics reports
are inconclusive. Let it go.

We can't charge kyle,
and you know it.

Religion's inconclusive.

Don't stop
5 billion people

From believing
what they believe.

God is not the d.A.,
so...

Let's just do our job
and go talk to this neighbor.

Right now
he is the only lead we have.

What the hell you guys doing in
here... playing "deer hunter"?

Case of rolling rock says
linden blows her head off first.

let's go.

One shot, linden.
One shot.

Yo, holder.
do me a solid, will ya?

Take these pied piper case files
home to your girlfriend?

I don't want to
schlepp my ass

All the way
over to city hall again.

Yeah.

Sure.

Oh, m...
i got my hands full.

Oh, tha... that's funny.

Shit.
Asshole.

That's premium roast,
you prick.

Mm.
You owe me.

yeah, it is. It is.

Fucker.

Oh! Aah!

Jesus christ.

How long have you been

Neighbors with the stansburys,
mr. Deschler?

I moved back
about 10 years ago

To look after
my ailing mother.

She passed a few years later,
and i inherited the house.

You can see
the stansbury house from here.

Do you know
the family well?

I was introduced to them
years ago by my mother.

But other than seeing them
at the market on occasion,

No, i didn't know them.

I generally eschew

Formal engagements
and social gatherings.

Yeah, you look like you haven't
flown the coop in awhile.

By nature,
artists are sometimes...

...Invalids.

My home
is my camera obscura.

So i'm not gonna find a velvet
elvis hanging anywhere around here?

No, i believe that pain
and suffering is true art...

A physical replication,
regardless of medium.

Is that right?

Happiness
creates a laziness

Which allows us
to forget that pain

Teaches us a lesson
which forces us to grow.

On the night of the murders,
can you describe to me

What you were doing immediately
before you dialed 911?

I already spoke
to the other officers.

They appeared to be
writing down my words.

They did, but i'd like to
hear it from you,

In case
they missed something.

I was sitting right here,
looking out the window,

And i was startled by
half a dozen or so loud bangs,

Like someone was hunting.

For someone
who was startled,

You sounded very calm
on the phone.

You do that a lot?

Just sit there
and stare out at nothing

At 5:00 in the morning?

It's not nothing.

It's beautiful.

She said so herself.
I assume you meant it.

That's still a long way
to hear a 9-millimeter.

It's not exactly
a hand cannon.

It's very quiet
around here.

Any kind of loud noise echoes
and carries across the water,

Especially at night.

You told
the 911 operator

That the shots were coming
from the stansbury house.

How could
you be so sure?

Theirs was
the only light on.

In your statement
to the officers,

You never mentioned the lights
were on in the house.

They never asked. And the lights
weren't on in the house.

They were on in the stansburys'
beach house.

That's where i assumed
the shots were coming from.

Camilla:
I never come out here.

Mr. Stansbury's
very specific...

I don't clean the beach house.

Sarah:
Did he say why?

No. And i don't ask.

You afraid of him?
No.

They always paid me
on time.

Just nothing
for me to do.

The house is always clean,
top to bottom.

With three kids,
you always see a mess.

Not the stansburys.

Nothing was out of place,
ever.

It's like nobody lived here.
Only ghosts.

Sarah: Thank you.

Unis did a sweep?

Cursory.
Nothing to write home about.

What do you think?

I think
boo radley over there

Is one sunny day away
from cutting his ear off.

No forced entry,
locked from the inside.

If somebody was here,
they had a key.

That guy's a fucking weirdo.
Let's run a check on him.

We'll call s.I.D. To have them
come and dust for prints, but...

Maybe there was a motion sensor
that went off or something.

Boom, boom.

Welcome back, cadet.

Kyle:
Thank you, ma'am.

There were
no complications

With your release
from the hospital?

No, ma'am.
Good.

Now that you're back
on campus,

Focus can be
on the future.

as your legal guardian,
i'm prepared to take

The necessary steps
to ensure your full recovery.

Your class schedule
will remain the same.

You will be excused
from any kind of p.T.,

And your new living quarters
will be located in the infirmary

Where a nurse
will be on duty.

You will be meeting with
a psychologist once a week.

With all due respect,
ma'am,

I prefer to return
to the barracks,

And i don't feel that i need
to speak to a psychologist.

That stuff's
90% bullshit anyways.

Excuse me, cadet?

I'm not a victim.

I don't want to
be treated like one.

I don't know
how much you remember

About your time here, cadet,
but you didn't fit in.

Boys can be
the cruelest animals,

And they will cut you
no slack now.

I recall what it was like,
but it'll be worse for me

If you turn me
into a charity case, ma'am.

Do you remember
the night of the murders?

No.

I spent every moment
in the hospital trying to.

They say it's better
if i don't.

You could be right.

The academy
has made arrangements

For funeral services
to take place on wednesday.

I'd like to see them before
then, ma'am, say my goodbyes.

I'm sorry.
That's not possible.

they were shot at close range.

It's a closed-casket
service.

I'm...Sorry. I thought
you were aware of that.

Then, like you said,
ma'am...

It's even more critical now
that i focus on my future

And be treated the same
as any other cadet.

You'll return
to the barracks.

Don't make me regret
my decision.

I won't, ma'am.

Dismissed.

Holder:
Maybe little miss perfect

Was sneaking out at night,
you know, hitting the clubs,

And then she stashed
her party clothes

Down at the beach house
so papa wouldn't find them.

It doesn't seem like
her style.

What the hell you know
about style, linden?

Thought you shopped
at ross dress for less.

At least i don't get my clothes
at the goodwill.

Hey, you find
anything you like in there,

You take it for a spin.

"extreme makeover:
Linden edition."

These styles don't match.

Not the sizes,
either.

I mean, one's a little country,
one's a little rock 'n' roll.

You?

Nope. Phoebe's a 4.
These are an 8.

What about the mom's?

No, she's the same size
as her daughter.

These clothes belong
to somebody else.

Gonna run these
down to s.I.D.,

Have them run a print
on the bag and the belt.

Hey, take a look
at these.

The fuck?

This model citizen
ain't all discipline.

Yeah,
she's posing for these.

Did you find anything
at the stansburys' beach house?

No, but we found these
in phoebe stansbury's room.

She kept them.

I knew she loved them.
I knew it.

Is someone in the house,
mr. Deschler?

You're gonna need to come with us,
mr. Deschler. You don't understand.

Look, phoebe and i, we had a special
relationship. Down on your knees!

on your knees!
Down on your knees!

Put your hands behind your neck.
Put your hands behind your neck!

Y-you don't understand!
Those photos, they were special!

Shut the fuck up!
Aah!

Keep him down here!
You can't go up there!

Shut your fucking mouth.
Shut up!

Shut your...

Shut up!

I-i know my rights,
and you can't do this!

Shut the fuck up!

You don't understand.

Phoebe and i,
we had a connection.

You don't understand.
She wanted to be seen.

Hey, hey! Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!

She needed someone
to see her as she really was!

No one ever did!

Holder!

Aah, no, no! Aah!
No, she's mine! Not yours!

She's mine!

Holy shit.

What the fuck you two faggots
laughing at?

Tommy finger-blasted
jenny becker

In the sonic bathroom
saturday night.

no fucking way.

Whoa-ho!

Little tommy getting to be quite the man.
Yeah. Oh.

Way to get your name
in the box score, bud.

Good job.

Oh, shit!
Everyone look.

Carrie
got her period.

holy shit.

Look, stansbury's bleeding.

What a pussy.

Need a tampon to plug up
your slash, little girl?

Bitch is on heavy flow
this month.

Get him a maxi pad!
The little baby's gonna cry.

That's enough!

What?!
You think that's funny?!

Huh?!

Finish up your business
and get out of here!

Maintain the pressure,
all right? Clean yourself off.

I'll let the infirmary know
you're on your way.

As i said,
i'm more than happy

To assist
in your investigation,

But i need to be present
for any conversations

You have
with my students.

Fine, as long
as you understand that,

In the event
we go to court,

I may need to subpoena you
as a witness.

Understood.

enter!

Cadet stansbury
reporting as ordered, ma'am.

The detectives would like to
ask you some further questions.

Ma'am.

Sir, ma'am.

Take a seat, cadet.

How you feeling, kyle?

Much better.
Thank you, ma'am.

Good.

Do you know if anyone was
staying in the beach house?

A friend or guest
of the family, maybe.

No, ma'am, i do not.

Holder: So you never had
some sweet little thing over

For some...
Late-night marco polo?

No, i did not, sir.

You've had
a traumatic experience.

Memories get buried
that need to be dug out.

So just try to think,
kyle.

I do not know if anyone

Was staying
in that beach house, ma'am.

You've got your answer. Is there
more you need, detectives?

What was your relationship like
with your sister?

Nadine?

No, y-your other sister,
phoebe.

She was fine.
We were fine. Why?

What are you doing? I'm sorry.
This is part of our investigation.

We found these pictures
in your sister's bedroom.

Do you know the man who lives
across the lake from your house,

Emmett deschler?

No.

I think that's enough,
detectives.

We're just getting
some answers here.

And you've got them,
so we're done here.

You knew about this,
didn't you?

Cadet, you're dismissed.
No! Please.

We're just trying to help.

If you know anything
about emmett deschler,

Anything at all...
cadet!

I didn't know
there were pictures. Um...

I saw phoebe one night.

She was standing in front
of her window like that,

And i told her that anybody
could see inside of her room,

But she was like... it was
like she wanted to be seen.

Holder:
Did you tell anyone?

my parents.
They didn't believe me.

Phoebe
was their favorite.

You know, she couldn't
do anything wrong.

Not like me.

After i told on her,
she cut the piano wires,

And they didn't even get mad
at her for that.

The piano was yours?

Um, i should have
just shut up, you know?

I shouldn't...
i s-should have known.

Like, my parents didn't believe
anything i said.

They didn't care
about me, so...

Did emmett have a relationship
with your sister?

I don't know.

I'm feeling
a little sick.

Cadet stansbury needs to get
some rest. We're done here.

Cadet,
you're dismissed.

He didn't do it.

Do you believe that now?

Bethany: I don't care!
I'm his daughter!

I need to talk to him!

There must be something
you can do!

Mike: I'm sorry.
Lieutenant skinner isn't here.

I can't help you.

I got this, mike.

Bethany, how's it going?
You okay?

Detective reddick,
i-i can't find my dad anywhere.

I keep texting
and calling,

But he hasn't texted me back
in like two weeks.

It doesn't make sense.
Have you talked to your mom?

She doesn't care.
She's basically glad he's gone.

How long has it been
since you've seen your dad?

Like, two weeks.

He was with that...
That bitch...

His old partner.

Linden.

She's lying.
She knows where my dad is.

I'm sure he's fine, sweetie.
Nothing to worry about.

But i'll tell you what.

I'll make a couple calls,
see what i can do.

Come on.

Come on.
I'll give you a ride home.

Linden.

Yeah?

That's it?

All right, just put a copy
of his statement on my desk.

Deschler lawyered up,

Provided an alibi
for the night of the murders.

He's got time-stamped photos
he took of the stansbury house

Right up
until he dialed 911.

Guess he was looking for phoebe
in her window, and then...

Called it in
when he realized

The flashes of light
were gunfire.

Maybe those photos
are something we can go on.

No. They said...There's a couple
muzzle flashes visible,

But otherwise, the house
was too dark to see anything.

So the kid's
still our best suspect.

He could be playing us.

I'm just saying.

Convenient he didn't tell us
about his fucked-up family.

No one talks about family
secrets, and you know it.

They just stay
screwed up.

Not everyone
messes up their kids.

No, it's a choice
how you act.

A uni said emmett had
a couple years' worth of photos.

Let's go through them and see
if there's anything we can pull.

Don't have to do them
right now.

They'll still be dead
tomorrow, linden.

What's the matter?

You afraid to be alone
or something?

We got a problem.

You know how i love breasts
and thighs.

Uh, just pick whichever
one's the smallest.

They're both way more
than enough.

Really?
Yeah.

Your family have any restrictions
i need to know about?

They need some
dietary restrictions.

My sister and her kid, they only
eat foods that got the word

"fried," "finger," "strip,"
or "stick" in it.

I need some probiotics
to clean them out.

Staying up late watching
the oxygen network again?

Yes.

Baby needs
some building blocks.

From now on, it's raw milk,
fresh greens...

You're gonna start craving
things that are white.

Oh. Like you?

hell, yeah.

Better fucking
believe it.

No, but seriously, like,
potatoes, cottage cheese,

Tapioca,
cocktail onions...

Babe, why don't you get

Some of the cap'n crunch
that you like?

No.

No, i'm only eating
what you're eating.

I'm pregnant, too.

Okay,
you're really cute...

But it's still
super-early,

And i know
you love your cereal.

Well, he is the captain
and everything.

You know, he can pull rank, so he knows...
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

...Crunch berries make me
a better crime fighter.

Mm-hmm.

help me.

Help me.

Kyle? Kyle, please.

Please.

Kyle.

Help me.

Nadine?

Please, help me!

Kyle!

Nadine?

Kyle.

Nadine?

Kyle, please!
Help me!

i don't want to die.

I don't want to die.
Oh, man.

Oh, kyle. I'm sorry.

We were just having
a little fun.

You understand, right?

Hey.

How's your dead sister,
by the way?

What are you doing?

Whoa.

We're just
messing around, a.J.

Why don't you chill the fuck out?
Don't move.

Apologize
to cadet stansbury.

Why don't you get the fuck
out of my face?

Sir.

What?! No!

Strike him, cadet!
What the fuck?!

Strike him now! Hit him!
Get the fuck off me!

God damn it! Hit him!
That's an order!

Get the fuck off me!
Cadet!

Again! Again!

Tommy:
come on!

Again! Again!

Let him go!
He's had enough!

That's enough!
That's enough!

Easy! Easy! Easy!

Man: Your gun. You didn't think
we'd forget, did you, sarah?

Your request for a new sidearm
after your last one was stolen?

Try and be more careful
next time, will you, detective?

Yeah, thanks.
Thanks.

Hot off the press.

lab pulled a print
from our bag.

Our mystery lady
is one katrina nelson.

She was at the hospital.

Not the only place
she was at.

Got latents
not only in the beach house

But all over
the main house...

Living room, dining room,

Kitchen, master bed,
master bath.

She got around.

Unis are following up on
her last known address, but...

Landlady said she took off
last october.

We're getting e.S.D. To check in
on her last known employment.

But so far,
there's nothing.

She's got priors
the last three years...

Petty theft, robbery,
vandalism.

Keep reading.
Gets better.

Aggravated-assault charges
filed against her

On october 9th
of last year.

D.A. Dropped charges
shortly thereafter,

Citing lack of cooperation from
the victim, philip stansbury.

She assaulted him,
and he let her off scot-free?

Wonder why.

Keep icing it.

Anybody asks, you got cracked
by your rifle during drills.

Why are you being
cool to me now?

You never were before.

'cause that psycho lincoln
deserves it.

I thought you lost
all your memory, cadet.

No.
Just from that night.

Eh, you were a pussy before.

Maybe you're
growing a pair now.

Atten-hut!

At assembly,

I said that
certain practices would cease.

Was i unclear, cadet?

No, ma'am!

What happened
to your face, cadet?

I fell in the shower,
ma'am.

You need to be more careful
next time, cadet.

Yes, ma'am.

In any battalion,
you are one.

You all have
the same strengths...

All have the same
weaknesses!

What happens to one of you
happens to all of you!

One of you disobeys my orders,
all of you disobey my orders.

You didn't have those bruises
on your hand

Yesterday morning,
cadet.

I lost control of my rifle
during drills, ma'am.

I gave you your chance,

And you have chosen
to make an example of yourself

And of everyone else.

Cadet fielding,
have your battalion assembled

In full a.C.U.S
on the north field at 0700.

Yes, ma'am!

You heard the colonel!
Let's go!

Right wheel! Right wheel!

Tighten the formation!

Battalion...Halt!

Rifles down!

What the hell was that,
cadets?!

You call that a formation?!
That was an embarrassment!

Get it together,
you pieces of shit!

We're gonna do it
until we get it right!

Adopt a push-up position!

Now!

Down!

Halfway!

Down! Up!

Halfway!

Up!

Down!

What is your problem?!

You have a problem with me,
cadet?!

Get down!

Up!

Halfway!

Down! Up!

Halfway!

Down!

Up! Down!

Got some for me,
holmes?

I don't got to
talk to you, pig.

You do now...
probable cause.

Decriminalized, bitch.

No, not that.

That.

What?

This, dumbass.

You got papers for this?

Yo, what you
hassling me for, man?

You logic?

No, that ain't me.

I heard that dude
won the mega millions,

Moved to minneapolis
or something.

Asshole, you're on the spd
payroll as a c.I., right?

Yo, keep it down,
all right?

Jesus.

You talk to some cops?

Male-female duo?

Couple weeks ago
about a missing kid?

I ain't snitched to the 5-0
in, like, forever.

See, that's a long time.
Be specific.

I don't know. Maybe four,
five months, at least.

Didn't talk to anybody?

Lady cop? Redhead.

Sure you weren't just tweaked
out of your mind and forgot?

No, i quit that poison,
like, way back when.

This? I need this
for my pain management.

No shit?

Shit.

This is like
flintstones chewables.

I'm only keeping this.
You're welcome.

Yo.

You guys still handing out
scratch to snitches?

Possible.

Got to get me
something good.

Kyle!

Hey, in case you don't remember,
stay away from the beans.

They'll give you the runs.

Hey, you did real good today.
I'm proud of you.

Really? I-i thought...

I don't know.
I-i kind of thought i messed up.

Everybody's pissed at me.

You showed loyalty to the unit.
That's all that matters.

I mean, colonel rayne
would have punished us

Way more
if you'd ratted.

Thanks, sir.

Hey, you can call me
by my name.

Okay.

They have a cop car
outside the gates.

Saw it today during drills.
What's up with that?

They think whoever did, uh,
that to my family

Is gonna come back for me.

Some doughnut-eating cop
isn't gonna stop anybody.

We will.

No one's hurting
one of our own. Understand?

Yes, sir... a.J.

Close ranks, boys. We got
some unfriendlies approaching.

Kyle,
we need to talk to you.

I'm eating dinner.
It can't wait.

I already told you everything
i know. Now get off my back.

Ma'am, regulations state you're not
permitted in here without an escort.

Slow your roll there,
captain america.

You don't want to take
any friendly fire, now, do you?

You want to talk here?

That's fine.
You got those photos?

We'll make a whole collage of phoebe here
on the table. Is that what you want?

Or we can go talk in the hall.
It's your call, kyle.

You know this girl?

You sure?
Take another look.

i don't know who that is.

Ma'am, i must insist
you follow regulations,

Or i'll be obligated
to call security.

Ten-hut!

That'll be enough,
cadet fielding.

What are
you doing here?

You weren't in your office,
and i don't have time to conduct

My investigation
around your schedule. Sorry.

That badge may work
outside these walls.

But in here, we have
a different set of rules.

That's clear.

I know women like you.

You think
by defying authority,

You can get the respect you
crave from your male colleagues,

But that's not the way
it works, detective,

Not in here
and not with me.

You don't know
anything about me.

And i'm not defying
your authority.

I'm doing my job.
So am i.

I have already repeated
myself once,

Which is once more
than i ever do.

You come back here again

And you talk with any of my
students without my permission

And i will go
to the deputy commissioner

And file
a formal complaint.

All right.

Let's go, linden.
Come on.

Let's go.

As you were.

Kid's lying.

He knows something.

He probably knows kat.

You know, they could have
done it together.

Don't ever
do that again.

I was helping you out,
linden.

You can't always
be going at 11.

Now we got her
right where we want her.

I-it's like with lions.

You know,
when you tame them,

You got to put them
on a pedestal,

Let them think
that they're dominant,

T-that they got
the upper hand.

Now, they feel safe up there,
feared, like the alpha dog.

You got to make them believe
that they're looking down on you

When all eyes
are actually on them,

And you're the one
that's really in control.

Trust me, linden.
We're good.

Stop worrying
about bethany.

Carl: Linden.

Have you talked
to skinner lately?

No. Why?

Mm.
His daughter's worried.

She thinks
something happened to him.

She's real broke up
over daddy going awol.

Figured i'd ask you.

Yeah, i don't know.

You know how kids can be,
though.

I do. I do.

I have a daughter
of my own.

But i wanted to help
bethany out, so i...

I checked skinner's
phone records.

He hasn't made a call since
that night adrian went missing.

His last call
was to you.

Thought your phone was dead
that night.

You said you and skinner
were shaking down c.I.S

Near adrian's school.

I checked around.

Funny thing...

Nobody remembers
speaking with you.

We were
having an affair.

I ended his marriage,
wrecked his family.

He moved out
on his child.

You want to know more than that,
then talk to him.

Otherwise,
stay the fuck out of my face.

I needed to see you.

Tried at the hospital,
but there were cops around.

No. Don't.

Do you remember
what happened?

Last thing i remember,
i was here in my room.

Then i was
in the hospital.

Okay.

You're okay.

That's all that matters.

The police came asking
about you.

I didn't
tell them anything.

They got
what they deserved.
