The Killing (Forbrydelsen)

Previously on AMC's The Killing...

You got a minute, Ms. Marek?

We met at a party for the service.

Get the hell off my property.

Until you get the stink of the murder investigation off you,

people are gonna balk in the voting booths.

I can win this for you.

Kidnapping and aggravated assault, Mr. Larsen.

These charges are serious.

Did you put this up here?

No.

We need to stay here, just for the night.

Yeah, sure.

Holder: The maid probably just moved it.

Always be putting my gideons in the drawer,

making me lose my place in exodus.

The drawing was packed away.

This was a message.

Whoever did this knows things about me.

That old case you were working on?

Is that what Carlson was talking about?

You need to trust me on this, Linden.

We're safe.

No one ever comes around here,

not even Jehovah's Witnesses.

Only thing we got to worry about is the young 'un robbing us.

I said roll for me, not rob me.

You owe me rent.

Yeah. Rent on pioneer square ain't two G's.

I think your zen rock garden and fountain

are what's really gonna help me relax.

Laugh it up, Linden. My dojo is a sanctuary of light.

All right. How much?

2 G's.

2 G's.

Now, I know this farmer, right?

It's sick what they do to them chickens.

And then he tells me it's lonely on a farm.

That's why you got to buy organic eggs.

'Cause you never know what's been inside of a chicken.

You know what I'm saying?

She rises from the dead.

Told you posturepedic is the shiznit.

What are you making?

Just an all-natural Mexican-American breakfast.

Jack: Good morning, mom.

Morning. Do you need help?

No. Take a load off.

We got you.

Oh, just a heads up.

There's a poison-control number on top of the fridge

in case you go into shock since this ain't freeze-dried.

Ha ha ha.

Hey, uh, get the Habanero Jelly out of the fridge,

mix it with them eggs, and boom.

We got spicy and sweet in one.

See you found my knowledge corner.

There's a bookstore down on Jones Street--

you get a crate of books for a quarter.

But can't put a price on wisdom. Ain't that right, little man?

Jack: I guess. You guess?

Ain't no guesswork for seekers.

Monarchs.

They left about a month ago.

Should be down in cali by now, and then down in Mexico.

Come on. Let's eat.

Speaking of travel plans, you and klepto here--

You're welcome to crash here as long as you need.

Thanks. It was just for the night.

Jack: Of course.

It's just too much fun here.

Linden. Ray: It's, uh, Ray.

Look, I know Carlson told me

not to dedicate any more time to the Larsen case.

What do you got, Ray?

Rosie's voicemail from yesterday...

Analyst I'm tight with, local FBI task-force guy,

took a listen.

That weird buzzing noise that starts three seconds in?

He said it could be

the cooling fan of a portable diesel generator.

The most popular users are construction companies.

What about the other sounds,

your guy confirm it was some kind of a door?

Yeah, sliding door.

Flush-fin construction probably, glass inset.

Okay, got it. No need for Carlson to get the memo.

I got to go.

Rosie's call most likely came from a construction site,

probably inside the casino.

Ames was trying to hide why he was doing business there.

Go to the County Recorder's Office.

Get any business records between Ames' construction company

and the casino.

Let's find out exactly what they were building there.

Jack, are you all packed up?

I haven't finished my breakfast.

Yo, you got to try some of my Habanero-Jelly eggs.

I'm not hungry.

All right, well, just so you know,

there's a spare key under the green flowerpot.

Just in case all the hotels are booked or something.

Keep your head up, little man.

You're early. I still have to do my physical therapy.

I told the nurse to push it back so we could start now.

Commissioner's apology ran on page one this morning.

Yeah, below the fold and under the Seahawks preview.

You've publicly been branded a killer.

And we have less than seven days to change voters' minds.

And short of the cops finding the actual killer,

nothing we say is gonna make a difference.

Which is why we're gonna get the Larsens to do it...

And publicly absolve you from any blame

in their daughter's death.

They'll never agree. We tried this.

I know the prosecutor charging Stan Larsen

for the kidnap and assault of Bennet Ahmed.

- Who is it? - Preston.

He owes me.

He might be willing to agree to a lighter sentence if I ask.

Should be incentive enough for the Larsens to come down

to city hall and read a simple statement.

I'm all for it. Just know if you do it,

you're gonna be throwing Ahmed under the bus.

Do it.

All right. We're gonna have to have the presser here, though.

Leaving the hospital is too hard for Darren.

We'll have to re-dress the waiting room.

Gwen.

Preston's a law-and-order dick. He doesn't cut deals.

I know that. Stan Larsen doesn't need to.

Mr. Larsen?

Principal Meyers said they ran out of lockers,

so they had to give Rosie's to a new student.

But I think it was really because...

You know, what the papers have been saying about her.

I thought maybe you and Mrs. Larsen

might want this stuff.

Did Rosie ever talk

about an old shoe box of her mom's that she had?

No. No?

Sterling: No. Why?

Was she happy?

Yeah.

I mean, I think she was.

The last time I saw her...

She was standing there by the stairs.

I was on the phone in here.

She stood there for a while, just looking at me like she...

Like what?

Like she was... sad.

I forgot till just now how she looked standing there.

Ex

Mr. Larsen?

I, uh-- I got to go.

My mom gave me a ride here. She's waiting for me.

There's cameras in every hallway,

and someone's at the desk 24 hours.

I'll be home for dinner,

but you should order something from room service for lunch.

And, uh... Just this once,

I'll let you order a movie.

Woman on TV: ...If you would like to donate blood

to help victims,

you can do so by contacting your local red cross.

I'll put the "Do not disturb" sign out

in case the maid comes by, but...

You should make sure

that you put the chain on the door after I leave.

Jack.

If there's a fire or something like that, and you're trapped,

use the bathroom window to get out and call for help.

I thought we were safe here.

We are. I'm being extra cautious, that's all.

Just promise me you'll stay put?

I mean it.

Yeah, okay. Whatever.

Yeah, Holder.

Holder: Hey, I got that connect

between Ames and the casino, Linden.

Okay. I-I'll meet you there.

I'm on the next ferry.

I had to pull some strings, give out some HJ's,

but I found Ames' construction company--

Columbia Domain Fund.

State taxes filed in the last two quarters

are on the up and up, no red flags.

But check this--

For their $50 million casino job, CDF turned zero profit.

Clerk there said no way that ever happens.

Likeliest scenario

is that the project was either put on hold or abandoned.

What were they building?

That's the $6 million question 'cause it could be anything.

All it says is "Hotel/Casino renovations."

Walk around, talk to customers, employees.

You know, just, uh...

...just try to blend in.

I'm everyone and no one.
