The Killing (2011–2014): Season 4, Episode 5 - Truth Asunder - full transcript

How long do you think
till you can i.D. All the girls?

Uh, we're working on it,
but who's to say?

If they'd found them
sooner,

There wouldn't be
so much animal activity.

They'd still have
their faces.

What about lieutenant skinner?
Why haven't you started on him?

Deputy commissioner said
he wanted to attend the autopsy.

Wants me to wait.

Politics, i guess.
Mm.

Once the deputy com
signs off,

I want a copy
of the full autopsy,



Forensic and ballistic evidence
on skinner.

You got it?
Okay.

Sarah:
Reddick's got nothing.

He's got everything.

It's all circumstantial.

There's no way he can prove
those bullets came from my gun.

Nothing has changed.

We should keep working our case,
focus on margaret.

We'll be fine.

That's kallie.

That's her earring.

Look at me.

It's our word versus his.

We stay focused,



We keep our stories straight
and our mouths shut...

We get through this.

Dad?! Dad?!

Bethany! Sweetheart!

Oh, my god, dad!

Dad! Dad!

Shh!
Dad!

Oh, my god, dad!

Get her out of here.
Get her out of here.

Linden,
where the hell you going?

Daddy!

daddy...

Sarah: I'm a police officer.
Get out of my way.

Man: I'm sorry, ma'am, but
we've been given strict orders.

Colonel rayne!

I have some questions
for you!

Detective!

Get ahold of yourself.

You can only hide behind
these walls for so long.

This is private property.

Do i need to get a restraining
order to keep you away?

Your car was spotted
at a gas station

Between here
and the stansbury house

The night of the murder.

So that's why
you've been harassing me?

And i know that you sat
outside the stansbury house

Late at night,
early in the morning.

I saw pictures of your car.
What were you doing there?

What do you think i'd been
doing there, detective?

You tell me.

Your desperation
is understandable.

But i find it sloppy
and pathetic

That a woman
in your position

Lets her emotions compromise
her judgment so easily.

I'm getting a warrant!

When i come back here,
i'm taking you down!

Colonel rayne
wants to see you, cadet.

enter.

Ma'am.

Good morning, cadet.

Good morning, ma'am.

I'm sorry about last night.
I was...

I overreacted.

Thank you for helping me see
the situation for what it was.

Of course.

Your state of mind was
completely understandable,

Considering
the circumstances.

I'm happy to know
that you have moved past it.

i don't know if you're aware,

But tomorrow is family day
for first-year cadets.

If you feel...
Uncomfortable

About attending
any of the activities

And would like
to be excused...

No, ma'am. I'm fine.

Kyle...

If you would like
to talk further

About what happened last night
or anything...Else,

You know you can talk to me
about anything.

I know that, ma'am,
but i'm okay.

Very well, then.

You're dismissed,
cadet.

Get the fuck out of here.

I know you put those plans
in my textbook.

And that gun on my desk.

You don't know shit.

I know more
than you think i do.

It's coming back,
all of it.

Everything that happened that
night is coming back to me.

Wow.
I totally don't believe you.

But if you did remember,

You wouldn't be butt buddies
with a.J.

You still don't remember
what he did to you

That last
fucking family day, huh?

What are you talking about?

Why don't you go look
at that picture of your mom?

See if you remember why
we all got one.

bang.

You're dead.

What do you got?

Where the hell you been?

Did you get anything
on margaret's car?

Come on, holder.

Been chasin' paper on margaret
all morning.

Cellphone records?
Bank statements?

I gone through it all.

None of the usual red flags,
but i did find this.

Philip stansbury's
credit-card records,

Cross-referenced
with margie.

Past couple of years,

They got corresponding
out-of-town hotel bills...

Olympia, portland,
vancouver...

Same cities,
same dates.

They were having
an affair.

Sounds like a bunch of
out-of-town fuck fests to me.

You put in for a warrant
to impound her car, right?

I haven't heard back yet.

What the hell's
taking so long?

We have more than enough p.C.
Call them back.

Now.

All right, chill, linden.

Do some pushups
or something.

Yeah, this is detective holder,
badge 4592.

Yeah, i put in for a warrant
this morning.

Yeah, that's the one.

Are you fuckin' kidding me?

Wha...

Yeah, whatever, whatever.

It's denied.

That's bullshit.

Have to refile...

Where you going?
Linden.

Caroline...

We need
a warrant approved.

Right now.
It can't wait.

Uh, excuse me for a moment.
I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

One of our warrants
was denied,

And we need to know
what the hell's going on.

Never happened to us before.
It doesn't add up.

We got the p.C.

Which judge denied it?
Chamberlain.

Okay.
I'll see what i can do.

I'll make some calls
in the morning

And try to find out
what his reasoning was.

No, we can't wait.
It can't be tomorrow.

It needs to be right now.

We just got hit with 10 more
bodies in the pied piper case,

Not to mention

Your lieutenant skinner
being found dead.

Things are a little crazy
right now.

If you don't want to help us
do our job,

You can just say that.

Hey, linden, chill.

I'll... i'll do what i can
to help you,

But it'll have to wait.
I'm sorry.

What is her problem?

Just do what you can.

How long is jack in town?

Until tomorrow night.

Maybe you should go spend
some time with him.

You know, go get a burger
or something.

What's that
supposed to mean?

You need to calm the fuck down,
linden.

You can't be running around

Burning the only bridges
we got left.

We're not gonna
get through this.

I thought you wanted to solve
this case.

I do.

You can't steamroll caroline
like that.

And we need her help.

Whatever.

Give me the keys.

It's my car.
I don't want you smoking in it.

She's here, right?

I saw the bodies
on the news.

They have my little girl, too,
right?

They found her?

She's at the morgue.

Can i see her?

That's not a good idea.

I just want to say goodbyes.

I want to talk to her.

I got so many things
i got to tell her.

I need to see her.
I n...

I need to see her face
just one more time.

She...
well, you can't.

Fuck you.
You can't stop me.

There's nothing left
to see.

She doesn't even have
a face anymore.

She doesn't even look
like a human being.

You want to see that?

You want to say goodbye
to that?

Let's go. Come on.
Let's go.

Let's go say goodbye to kallie.
Let's go.

You have no right!

No right...

Got to love that feeling.

It's a...Rough case.

We've all been there.

No, no,
that's not what i meant.

You know that feeling,
that moment,

That...Split second...

When you look across the table
at your guy,

And they still think
they got away with it?

But you know it's over.

I know.

Skinner was
the pied piper.

It's bethany's ring.

Photos of skinner's car
following adrian.

Your gun
conveniently being stolen.

I know you and holder were both
out at the lake that night.

You pulled the trigger,
didn't you?

I've misjudged you.

You're even more incompetent
than i thought.

Because if you had
anything more

Than this fucked-up
made-up story,

I'd be in cuffs right now.

It's only a matter of time
until i get proof.

The bad guys
all make mistakes.

Ask your partner.

Only reason
we dredged the lake

Is 'cause holder blabbed...

At an n.A. Meeting
about what you two did.

It's always the one
with the conscience.

Oh, that's mad stuff, a.J.

It's a standing order,
always.

And if she don't like it,

You just bend her over and yell,
"fire in the hole!"

Every single time.

Caroline: I just got off the
phone with one of the a.D.A.S

Who used to clerk
for judge chamberlain.

Apparently,
the judge is an alum

And large contributor
to st. George's,

And he's not the only one.

Just go to another judge.
I mean, there's dozens of them.

Yeah, sure, but you'd be
committing career suicide.

You go behind his back,
chamberlain will make sure

That no judge ever signs
a warrant for you again.

The head of st. George's

Filed a formal complaint
with the d.A.

Against you and sarah
for harassment.

You have to think about
your priorities, stephen.

You can't afford to throw away
your career or our future

Over some case.

Have a good day.

Skinner was found
at sawyer?

I tell you,
we're gonna get this guy.

Not sure if they found
all the bodies.

Yeah, well, there's two... two
officers down there right now.

I heard that.

Skinner's autopsy report...

We need to get that warrant
on margaret's car.

She could be destroying evidence
as we speak.

I've been doing some digging
into margaret's background.

I contacted a friend of mine
at justice.

It seems she was
honorably discharged

From the army
during iraq.

We're fucked.

Chamberlain is a st. George alum
and big-time booster.

Never gonna get
that warrant.

We're going
to a different judge, then.

You do that
and both our careers are over.

We don't do that
and we can't help kyle.

Is he the only one
you care about?

You see
this fuckin' shit storm

We're right in the middle of,
right?

Caroline's got you
by the balls.

It's you and me, linden.

We're on the same team,
remember?

Are we?

I just wanted to set
the record straight, detectives.

My vehicle's parked outside.

How long do you think
it will take your people

To search my car?

It depends
on what they find.

Judge chamberlain
sends his regards.

He hopes you're doing
everything you can

To solve
the stansbury murders.

You and philip stansbury

Were having an affair,
weren't you?

Yes, we were.

You care to elaborate?

What kind of details
would you like, detective?

How long
was it going on for?

On and off
for the past few years.

So you must have known his house
inside out, then.

Did you guys
meet up there

When the wife and the kids were
on their dressage lessons?

No, we would rendezvous
when he was out of town,

Taking kyle to his piano
competitions and recitals.

Aw, ain't that sweet.

But the affair wasn't enough
for you, was it?

You wanted more.

You watched him.
You followed him.

That's your car,
isn't it, margaret?

I know women like you...

Alone in the world.

No one to come home to,
nothing but an empty house.

Time's running out,

And you feel it every day,
don't you?

Did philip promise
to leave his wife for you?

Or were you that pathetic enough
to believe him?

I didn't kill him
and massacre his entire family,

If that's your point.

Bet he got tired of you,

Moved on
to greener pastures.

That's when you snapped.

Hell hath no fury
like a crazy psycho bitch.

Results
on the car detail.

That's convenient.

You got your car
completely re-upholstered?

When'd you do that?

Recently.

Cleanliness is a form
of self-respect,

Something you might want to
practice more often.

And if you need to know
my whereabouts

The night
of the stansbury tragedy,

I was attending
a school fundraiser

At the four seasons hotel
downtown.

Can anyone
corroborate this?

My friend charles ross
was with me all night.

He'll verify
what i just told you.

You can find him
at the dance studio he owns.

He's my instructor.

I'll bet he is.

Not everything is always
what it seems, detective.

Why did you leave the army?

You were a black hawk pilot,
correct?

My service ended.
I was honorably discharged.

It was time to walk away.

But you didn't walk away.

You were forced out...

Because of what happened
in the gulf

When your helicopter
went down.

You killed civilians.

Have you ever fired your weapon,
detective?

Or watch someone die
right in front of you?

Hindsight is not a luxury
that a soldier has.

We were
in hostile territory.

A car approached but didn't heed
our warning shots.

I ordered my men
to eliminate the threat.

I gave an order, and i would
give that order again.

I accepted, and i still accept,
the consequences

That the military
handed down to me.

That is the way that things work
in my world.

But your men didn't listen
to your order, did they?

So you were the one that
opened fire on the "threat."

A father
and his 3-year-old son.

What was it like...

Watching them die
in front of you?

What are you doing here,
cadet?

I'm... i'm looking
for colonel rayne.

She's off campus
till this evening.

For what?

Is there something
i can help you with, cadet?

I didn't realize
you knew where i lived.

Looked it up.

Would you like some coffee
or something to drink?

I've got some cake in...

No, i don't want anything.

Thank you.

I, um...

I need you
to do something for me.

If, um...

If anything happens to me,
or if i have to go away...

I need you
to take care of jack.

He doesn't have
anywhere else to go,

No one else
to take care of him.

I've never asked you
for anything.

Of course.

But what's going on?

Sarah,
what's going on?

It's nothing.

Is that your husband?

Yes.
He passed three years ago.

He was a good man.

And that's matt and clara.

Why do you have this?

I never stopped
thinking about you, sarah.

Thinking
about that day...

The parade in ballard,

And...You insisted on getting
that pinwheel.

You said you liked it because
it was red like our hair.

I remember.

Remember it was summer...

The air smelled like caramel...
caramel popcorn.

And i remember hoping
that day would last forever.

Then it got dark,

Crowd started pushing
to get a better look.

And i dropped my pinwheel
to hold your hand and...

Somehow,
it just got...Swept away.

And then
you were gone, too.

I don't remember how long
it took you to find me.

But it felt like forever.

Why did you let go
of my hand?

I was young...

And alone.

I was afraid...

It was hard...To stay.

It's always been hard
for me.

I'm not good at staying.

I think
you're a lot like me.

Thank you, ma'am, cadet.
Welcome to st. George's.

Ma'am.
Hey.

It's a great day
for your son, ma'am.

We'll take good care
of him.

You enjoy
the rest of the day.

Kyle...

What do you want?

A.J. Told me to be ready
and waiting at midnight.

For what?

I don't know.

I guess it's some tradition

They do every family day
for new cadets.

Did they do it to you?

Go back to your room.

Go, now.

A.J. Put one on my door.

can i help you?

Detective linden,
detective holder.

Seattle homicide.
You charles ross?

Yes, i am.
What's going on?

We have questions
about some murders.

My apologies, amanda.
We'll pick up here next week.

Sure.

How long have you known
margaret rayne?

She's been a student of mine
for the past four or five years.

We dance twice a week.

Your relationship isn't just
professional, though, is it?

What do you mean
by that?

Come on, chuck.
We've all seen "dirty dancing."

Were you with margaret
the night of march 7th?

The night
the family was murdered?

Yeah. I, um...

Was helping her schmooze
at a fundraiser

At the downtown
four seasons.

And after the fundraiser?

She pay you to stay with her
all night?

It's not what you think.

Holder:
Never is, is it?

Margaret enjoys my company,
and i enjoy hers.

What transpired between us
was as friends.

We didn't have sex,
detective.

We just slept
in the same bed.

She likes to be held.
There's no crime in that.

That's it?
G.I. Jane just wants a hug?

Look...

Margaret told me

She lost a child
a long time ago.

I think it's the one thing she
hasn't been able to get over.

She has a lot of regrets.

Bullshit.

Let's go to the hotel
and check the security tapes.

If you are lying to me,
i am coming back here

And arresting you
for obstruction.

Linden, let's go.

Jack: I miss you, too.

Like, a lot.

Didn't you get
my stalker texts?

Yeah, i love you.

I mean, it's, like, obvious,
right?

My grandma?

She was...Whatever...
old but nice.

My mom lost it on her.

I don't know.
You should see this place.

I just feel bad
about lying to her, you know?

Saying that my dad
didn't want me.

But, like...

She's just got
no one else.

And i don't want her
to be alone all the time.

I mean...

I guess i just wish she still
had someone to talk to.

Well, if you're not gonna
hold yours, hold mine.

My back's sore.

Those black aiguillettes
on the doorknobs...

I had one on my door.

It was on family day.

The night
my family was killed.

What do they mean?

Why does a.J. Put them
on the doors?

What are you hiding
from me?

Quit playing games with me
and tell me!

Don't go in the showers
tonight.

What? Why?

Get the fuck away
from me, man.

Why?

Fucking faggot.
Why?

Why?

He's remembering.

Look, he won't stop
asking me about that night.

I'm telling you,
he's not leaving this alone.

Lincoln's right.

It's just a matter of time.

Well, what the fuck
are we gonna do about it, huh?

Nothing, nothing.

We stick with the plan
and everything will be fine.

The plan's falling apart.

You told us the doctor said
kyle would never remember.

We have to
do something now.

No.

I told you to keep an eye on him
in case his memory came back.

Nothing has changed.

Kyle still doesn't remember
anything.

I just told you
that he does...

No! You are wrong.

Now, both of you
need to calm down

And stop acting like
hysterical, stupid children.

Lincoln: Stupid?

Well, if i hadn't gone back
in the house that night

To get that other gun,
we'd be fucked.

You are out of order,
cadet.

And you shouldn't have put
that damn gun in kyle's room

And those plans.

What the hell
were you thinking?

You were lucky
that a.J. Found them

Before
something else happened.

Well, if kyle would've just
blown his damn brains out,

This would all be over.

I am done
talking about this.

You need to leave, both of you,
right now.

No.

I followed your plan

And trusted you
from the very beginning.

I even became
that loser's friend.

I've done everything you said
to protect us and this academy.

Not anymore.

Now we're gonna find out
exactly what he remembers.

Kyle...

Is not to be touched.

Do you understand me?

You're getting soft,
colonel,

And frankly, you're coddling
that little shit.

Unh!

Don't you ever...
Disrespect me.

You have your orders.
Dismissed.

Dismissed!

Dismissed!

Between
two-buck chuck's alibi

And the security cameras
at the four seasons,

There's no way
margaret's the shooter.

We're spinning our wheels,
linden.

Just because
she didn't pull the trigger,

Doesn't mean
she didn't give the order.

She's got 250 toy soldiers
at her disposal,

And all of them
can't wait to kill.

We got to get in there.
Kyle's in trouble.

Being paranoid.
This ain't bombs over baghdad.

Margaret could still try
to kill him.

She killed a child before.

She'll do whatever it takes
to protect herself.

If she wanted to kill him,
he'd already be dead.

How the fuck you know
kyle's so innocent?

Maybe he's the one
taking her orders.

You ever consider that?

No, he's telling me
the truth.

I trust him.
I can see it in his eyes.

He's not the one
lying to me.

What the hell's that
supposed to mean?

I know what you said
at the n.A. Meeting.

You told everyone
what we did.

What we did?

I didn't do anything.

You're the one who did it.

You're the one who couldn't
keep your shit together.

I was just trying
to help you.

Yeah, well,
thanks for all the help.

I told you to walk away.
You wanted to stay.

I would've been a lot better off
on my own.

Look, i'm sorry, linden.

I fucked up, okay?

I just felt like the whole world
was comin' crashing down on me,

And i was about to explode.

Yeah, well,
i was wrong about you.

You're just a fucking junkie
like the rest of them.

Some kind of father
you're gonna be.

How's jack doing,
by the way?

Aren't you supposed to be taking
him to the airport right now?

Shit.

Oh, snap.
Classic linden. Shit!

Not giving a shit about
anyone who's still alive,

Not even your own son.

I'm the one
who's fucked up?

The only people you care about
are dead.

Tell little man
i said adios.

Fuck you!

Yeah, fuck you, too!

You got everything?

You don't have to
worry about me, okay?

What's going on, mom?

Nothing.

Yeah, okay, whatever.

Jack, wait.
I'm gonna miss my plane.

Just wait! Just stop.

Just look at me.

I'm just not great at this,
being a mom.

I was just a kid myself.

I wasn't that much older
than you when i had you.

And i had nobody
to show me how.

I don't want you
to worry about me.

I want you to...
to get on that plane and...

And go back home.

And i want...

For you to grab
every piece of life...

Every piece of it...

And never let go.

And...

And never be ashamed
of anything.

Because no matter what
happens to me,

You were always
my best thing.

You're my best thing,
jack.

I'll see you summer break?

Yeah.

Bye.

Where is he?

Huh?

Where is he?
Where is he?

Huh?

Where is he?

Where is he?

We need to talk.

I don't got time.

I know about skinner.

I know what you and linden
did to him.

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

I got both your phones
traced to the lake that night.

That don't mean shit.

I'm trying to help you,
holder.

Don't be stupid.

The only reason
we dredged the lake

Is 'cause skinner's wife
saw linden out there.

She was tossing something
into the water.

You know,
killers get caught

'cause they do
something stupid...

...Like return
to the crime scene.

Linden is
bringing you down, man.

You got a kid on the way.

You got a family
to think about.

You want to tell
your side of the story?

Just go on the record,

Tell me what really happened
that night.

I can help you.

I can help you
cut a deal, man.

Holder.

I'm going to the deputy com
tomorrow morning,

And i'm telling him
everything.

So this is your chance

To dig yourself
out of your grave.

Protect your kid,
your family.

Call me.

Young man: Strip, ladies!

Come on.

You scared?

He's afraid of mommy.
See?

What you waiting for,
cadet?

Kyle...

You're such
a fucking idiot.

Get his hands.

Your little bitch-ass
wanted to know what happened?

Does that bring anything back?

Don't play dumb.

We know you know
what we're talking about.

What? Did you think
you were gonna get a free pass?

That we were just
gonna forget about you?

You still haven't shown
your slut mother

How much it is
that you love her.

Well, come on,
little buddy.

Get nice and hard
for mommy.

Starting to remember now?

A.J. We have a family day
tradition in this battalion.

A, uh, "welcoming" ritual
for all our first-year cadets.

Your mother sent you to us
because she loves you.

Oh, yeah.

She wants us to turn
her little boy into a man.

Ooh!
Yeah!

Well, men in this battalion
must love their mothers.

Yes.

And you're not a man
in this battalion

Until you prove that
to us.

Show mommy
how much you love her

And come all over
her pretty little face.

What, are you some kind
of faggot, cadet?

All: Ohh!

Cadets, you all love
your mothers, right?

All: Yes, sir!

See, we all love
our mothers.

You want to be one of us,
don't you, kyle?

Come on.

Come on.

Young man: There we go.

Attaboy.

Make mommy proud.

There we go.

If you think
your life is tough now,

If you don't do this,

Your life here is gonna be
more of a living hell.

Now do it,
you little fuckin' pussy.

Come all over
that bitch's face!

Oh, yeah!

Fuck that bitch!

Fuck her!

Fucking kill her.

Kill that bitch.

Kill her!
Kill her.

Kill her!

Kill her!
Fucking kill her!

Do it!

Kill her!

Kill her!

All:
Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!

You did this to me
that night.

You did this to me
the night my family was killed.

Did you kill my mom?

What the fuck?

Did you kill my family?

What the fuck
is he talking about?

I don't know.
He's crazy.

His brain's all shot up
and shit.

It's some post-traumatic stress
bullshit. Oh!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Let him go.

Fuckin' freak.

Please help me.
Kyle.

They're after me,
a.J. And lincoln and all of them.

They're after me.
And then they...

They took me to the latrines,
and they made me...

Easy, easy, easy!
Just slow down.

I... i... i...
i remember.

It was that night.

You remember
what happened that night?

I was in the latrines
on my knees...

Oh, god.
I don't want to remember.

It's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.

It's okay.
Everything's gonna be all right.

You're safe now, okay?
Just breathe, breathe.

Just take a breath.
Right, that's better.

I'm gonna get you some water.
Just keep breathing.

Kyle...

It's not what you think.

Please.

You need to believe me.
Stay away from me.

Kyle...

You knew?
You lied to me?

You were always lying?

No. No.

No, i've been protecting you.

Only doing what is best for you,
and you need to believe me.

Stay away from me!

Kyle...

I just want to help you, hmm?

Please trust me.

Just let me take the gun.

It's gonna be okay.
Please.
