The Killing

Previously on AMC's The Killing...

You think I killed Rosie?

We found the letters that you wrote her.

Stan, I know this guy who works at Rosie school.

Says the cops have been nosing around there again.

Dad, I'm doing this my way.

Is that what you call sleeping with your candidate?

Let me tell you something, mayor. Politics is war.

You thought I was the leak?

I've always wondered about Mr. Ahmed's wife.

She was one of his former students.

The Larsen girl? What about ammonium hydroxide?

It was on her hands, nails, in her lungs.

She's not supposed to be with God.

She's supposed to be with me.

Thought you'd like some breakfast.

Noticed you didn't come home last night.

I'm trying to finish up.

Where's Jack?

Think he's looking for your partner.

So, are you still leaving tonight?

Yeah. Red-eye.

We'll be out of your hair soon.

It'll be good for Jack.

I've found that certain states of transiency --

Eh, well, it's worse for kids than adults.

Jack's fine. He's strong.

Yeah, sure. He didn't drop far from the tree.

That look.

15 years old, and you already had that look on your face.

Right there.

The "already learned to live alone" look.

And strength like that...

Well, can prohibit other things --

You know...

Friendship.

And joy.

They become elusive. I'm old. I can talk.

Yeah, well, you were a lousy social worker,

so don't start with me again.

Hey. Find your new BFF?

No one says that, mom. That's retarded.

We're leaving tonight, so make sure you're packed.

Why can't we just stay? Nash's party's tomorrow.

Because our flight's at 11:30.

How much you want to bet we're gonna miss it?

I'll bet you $50 million that we don't.

And no welshing, either.

You're gonna work your whole life to pay that off.

Hey, it's our last day.

You want to take the boat out, chief?

Yeah. Sure. Let's go. All right.

You coming?

I have some stuff to finish here, but I'll catch up.

You almost lost him, Sarah. Don't let it happen again.

Oakes: So, you really think

the Larsen girl could've been a serial job?

Sarah: These were all working girls from around Seatac.

Rosie doesn't fit the profile.

But, still, it's worth looking at. Mm-hmm.

I found ammonium hydroxide, a cleaning compound,

in the teacher's apartment -- Ditto on Rosie's tox screen.

What was he doing with cleaning fluid?

He was supposed to be sanding his floors,

but he canceled his appointment and lied about it.

He was home all weekend, alone.

So you're thinkin' she went over to his place after the dance?

What?

Did the reasoning that informs a dress code

escape you, holder?

The idea is that the public can feel

we're competent professionals who can be trusted.

You look like you donate plasma for a living.

I had it since I was, like, 19.

Well, are we getting a search warrant on Ahmed's place, or what?

Look up the word "circumstantial."

A.D.A. Bernstein's not signing off

on any ammonium whatever the hell it is.

I mean, he's been lying since day one!

He married one of his old students.

We might have a crime scene, lieu.

He could be destroying evidence as we speak.

Well, then, you better get to work.

Mitch: She picked them out for father's day.

I tried telling her --

"Your daddy doesn't really need anything like that."

I pulled those buttons off my shirt --

Cut holes in the cuffs.

Mm.

It was Christmas she gave them to me.

No.

No, y-you wore them to Christmas mass,

but she bought them for father's day.

No, no, she left them under the tree.

It had to be Christmas.

I was there when we bought them.

She was 5. I remember that day.

She had to be older because tom was there --

No! No, he wasn't!

She was 5, Stan! She was 5!

Hey.

Do you need me for anything?

No, we're -- We're just, um...

You want to check on the boys for me?

Make sure they're dressed?

Please?

Sure.

I'm sorry.

Gwen. Can we talk?

The new tv spot's been airing all morning.

Would you like to see it?

It was a lousy thing to do. I should never have doubted you.

Or we can do debate prep first,

go over your talking points again.

Jamie's coming back to the campaign.

I knew he wasn't the leak.

It was my chance to get at Adams, and I took it.

Smart play.

Jamie must be proud.

I've worked with him for over 10 years. I trust him.

But not me.

When does it end, Darren?

The keeping me out?

I mean, what are we doing here, Darren?

Oh, is that the commercial? Nice!

Let's have a look.

Ah. All right.

Are we gonna strategize tonight's debate,

or do we need to indulge

in a little family therapy first?

Have you memorized your talking points?

Hit Adams on crime and infrastructure.

We've been over this for weeks.

Good.

Tonight is our best chance to switch momentum.

You do this right -- Kennedy/Nixon.

A Principal Meyers is here to see you.

Mr. Ahmed. Bennet Ahmed.

The police have been looking into him.

For the Rosie Larsen murder?

I thought you should know.

I know he does a lot with your programs.

Thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Um, I'm up for school-board election next spring.

If I had your endorsement, it'd go a long way.

And we could work together.

For the city.

Yeah. I-I'll be in touch.

Man on tv: ...Working with law enforcement

to keep criminals off our streets.

His opponent? Well, he's given a lot of speeches.

Darren Richmond. Action. Not talk.

For a safer Seattle.

What?

Thanks. I hate it when somebody brings me coffee.

Don't be like that.

I got you a going-away present.

B-but I'm saving it for when you, you know...

Actually go away.

We'll canvass this block.

Maybe we get lucky, find somebody who saw her.

I'm starting with Ahmed's neighbor.

The other side of the street's yours.

Hey. Give me a second.

First one of the day. It always tastes the best.

After I leave and they give the case to somebody else

and you're working traffic, you can smoke all day.

Morning. Seattle police department.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Mm-hmm. I guess you's the police.

Wouldn't know if it was fake, I suppose.

Thanks for your time. Have you lived here long?

16 year.

You mind if I ask you some questions

about your upstairs neighbor, Bennet Ahmed?

Got that white wife. Real pregnant.

Holder: Yo, Linden! I got something!

Excuse me.

Like I was saying, I knew the time.

I had to close early to pick up my daughter.

It was 10:00, Friday night.

And you saw a girl go into the building?

Yeah. White, like he said. Dark hair.

She had to knock a while before somebody let her in.

Did you see her leave?

No, like I was saying, I had to pick up my daughter.

How well could you see her?

Real good. The porch light was on.

Excellent eyes, me. My whole family, good eyes.

Good enough to tell if that was her?
