The Killing (Forbrydelsen)

Previously on AMC's The Killing...

Get the hell out of my property.

What about this boyfriend... Jasper?

Rosie broke it off.

It's me. Can we just meet somewhere?

If you want to meet in DC, sure.

The kid who drew those trees, what happened to him?

Child protective services took him.

I should get this.

Rosie asked if she could keep these.

I'm staying at the motel if you need anything.

Who's she afraid of?

I couldn't see, the windows were tinted.

What did Rosie find out?

The truth.

Stan Larsen wasn't her real father.

Hi!

I don't get it.

How you can just...

...cut me off.

Everything that we've been through,

everything that we had. I'm sorry.

I know you don't want to do this.

I can feel it.

We belong together. Don't throw this away.

Terry...

You're gonna stop calling me.

Please.

Just... We've been through hard times before, right?

I mean... Just tell me what you want me to do.

There's nothing for you to do.

I have a life with Sally. I have a family.

You can't keep living in fear of your wife.

You can't let her rule your entire life!

No one rules my life.

Not her and not you.

Stop calling me.

You have to talk to all the limo drivers, Holder.

Yeah, I'm sure.

What about Rosie's burner-phone records?

Okay, keep on him,

and I put in a call again about the casino warrant.

But in the meantime, stay on the drivers.

I got to go.

You have a minute, Mr. Larsen?

This about Piotr's kid?

He didn't have anything to do

with your daughter's death, Mr. Larsen.

This is about Rosie.

How long have you known that she wasn't your child?

Hey.

Hey. So, my idiot boyfriend locked me out of my room.

Is it cool if I chill in here for like five?

Yeah, yeah, of course. Come on in. Come on.

Wow.

You got cable.

I love how all these places make a big deal about that

on their signs.

It's like, "we got beds."

Well, you-- You have to be freezing.

Do you want to take a shower?

No.

Okay.

I mean, I guess I could take a shower or whatever.

Okay. There's some clean towels right there for you.

Mitch and me, we had been dating for years.

Knew each other from the neighborhood.

She broke up with me for a few months.

Then she told me she was pregnant.

I knew from day one that I'd never leave her.

Not for anything.

Even if Rosie wasn't your child?

That didn't matter.

Who was Rosie's father?

I don't know.

You never had any ideas or suspicions?

No, and I never asked.

What's this got to do with who took Rosie away?

Maybe it doesn't.

Me and Mitch never told her. How did she know?

She was, um,

going through some difficult times because of it.

Alexi told us. They were friends, Mr. Larsen.

Were you having any problems with her

over the last few months?

N-no, no, no. Me and Rosie were always good.

Do you have any idea how she found out?

What is it?

There was this, um...

Box of Mitch's, like an old, uh, shoe box with stuff in it--

Pictures, keepsakes.

I saw Rosie looking through it a bunch of times.

Said she got it from Mitch's parents.

Do you know where it is?

No, I haven't seen it. Not since I saw Rosie with it.

What about Mrs. Larsen? Can I talk to her?

She's gone.

Rosie was my daughter, detective.

I got to go.

Would you mind if I look through Rosie's room, Mr. Larsen?

What are you? Dyslexic?

I've never done it from this side, all right?

Ow.

What?

Keep that up for the interview, all right?

Kellie's ruthless.

Don't get lulled in by her "I feel your pain" BS.

She's gonna start with softballs,

and then she's gonna launch into verbal grenades.

So, stay positive.

Right. Nothing but...

Roses and puppy dogs.

That's right.

Linden.

I found the limo

that went to the ferry that night.

Guess who the passenger was.

I'm not guessing, Holder.

Michael Ames.

Jasper's father?

Yep. That ain't all.

Driver said Ames had an overnight bag with him

like he was gonna stay the night or the weekend somewhere.

So, who else had a bag with her that night?

Rosie was sleeping with her boyfriend's father?

I don't buy that.

I called Sea-Tac--

Got flight lists leaving between midnight

and 9:00 AM the night of.

Turns out Ames had a flight to Vegas that night.

Never got on.

I won't make you guess who was sitting next to him

on the flight because you suck at it,

but... I can tell you this.

It wasn't Rosie.

Don't worry about the zipper.

What, are you gonna catch a cold? You're like 50 feet away.

Go.

You got a minute, miss Marek?

Go on, boys.

We met at a party...

For the service.

It wasn't like a date or anything.

He-- He wasn't a client.

You know, we didn't even kiss that first night.

Do you ever?

Isn't that, like, against your code?

What Michael and I had was real.

He got me my place.

We were even looking to buy a condo

for after he left his wife.

We went on trips together. Like Vegas?

October 5th, same night your niece was killed?

He canceled on me last minute.

No, I...

I was supposed to pick him up from the ferry, but...

What ferry?

The one that goes to that Indian casino.

Holder.

Look, I know what you're thinking.

Why he'd want someone like me?

See, we have a connection. I understand him.

I know what it's like to want a better life.

Thank you.

Linden.

Rosie's burner-phone recs just came back.

Got a hit a few weeks before the murder.

Rosie sent Michael Ames a text.

It said, "$5,000.

I want the money, or I'll tell your wife."

Hey. You've reached Mitch.

Please leave a message after the beep. Thanks.

Yo, you're becoming like "a beautiful mind"

with that board, Linden.

Next thing, you'll be writing on windows

and talking to Rosie.

If you found out the guy who raised you for 17 years

wasn't your father, what would you do?

Find the real one and beat his ass into the ground.

Question remains,

was Ames her daddy or a John?

Either case, she was blackmailing him.

Maybe the casino was their meeting spot.

Check this out. Ames' company?

Columbia domain fund?

Big supporter of mayor Adams.

Sponsored a fundraiser for his campaign.

So maybe the mayor helped clean up his buddy's mess.

Pinned it all on Richmond.

Two birds, one rock.

You realize if you're right about this,

we're gonna end up working a tollbooth in Walla Walla

the rest of our careers.

Probably.

He would have had to call her to set up a meeting.

Hey, detective Linden.

I'm gonna need a warrant for phone records

for a Michael Ames.

Yeah, I'll drop off the paperwork. Thanks.

Linden...
