The Killing s03e01 Episode Script

The Jungle

So it's dress blues, extra starched, white gloves, spit shine, whole nine.
Knock, knock.
She opens the door.
Nothing on but the radio.
Talk or Kube 93? I haven't even touched her yet, it's already Niagara Falls.
Had to break some laws.
Where is it? Well, at least in a couple of months, that foot of glass between you won't affect your chemistry.
It's like drinking water.
Get those nutrients you need, leave the cholesterol in the cow.
Your mom breast-feed you until puberty or something? Hey, colostrum, on the other hand, is filled with life-giving nutrients and whatnot.
Here I thought I was a pervert.
What up, Melloy? What do you got? A Jane Doe.
Transient found her a couple hours ago.
Ripped open the garbage bag covering her, didn't notice the smell.
- The coroner's en route? - Yup.
"Yup.
" Seriously? "Yup"? It's "yes, sir," "no, sir.
" I mean, seriously.
Are you an idiot? "Yup.
" Got a brain? "Nope.
" Damn.
Never seen that before.
Almost cut her head clean off.
The Jungle What the hell is wrong with you?! You stupid, crazy bitch, what are you doing?! I'm not doing anything.
God, Bullet.
I wasn't gonna jump.
Okay? I just wanted to look at the water.
Come here.
Come here.
Look at it.
Before the boats and garbage and people and stuff mess it up, it's so smooth and clean, you know? Like glass.
It's perfect.
I just wanted to look at it.
You crazy bitch.
Cops ran us out from under the bridge.
Yeah.
Douchebags kicked us out of the park this morning.
Some sort of citywide sweep.
Oh, whatever.
Eat me.
You know maybe we can get beds at Beacon.
Whatever.
I'm not sure I'm ready to accept Jesus as my lord.
Never got open beds anyways.
Yeah, well, at least they got eggs and bacon on the menu this morning.
- You hungry? - I hate bacon.
Oh, dude, quit tripping.
Come on, I'm starving.
Look, we'll find a place to squat.
It's still early.
Let's go.
Come on.
Yeah.
I'd estimate her age at 16 or 17.
Cause of death is multiple sharp-force injuries across the neck region.
Cut marks are visible on the cervical vertebrae.
Vaginal bruising is present.
He raped her? Leave a calling card, too? No, he must have used a condom.
Lovely.
Just as we're leading the pack, this.
We're gonna be chasing down hookers and hobos, rounding up the usual suspects on pedophile mile for months.
Yeah, well, we got to, so suck it up.
What if we fob her off? I'm serious.
Who's up next? It's Jablonski.
Even that guy's not gonna take some hooker dumped in Katmandu.
Timbuktu.
- Timbuktu.
- Whatever.
We done here, doc? She fought back.
Defense wounds broke her finger.
Your Romeo used a weapon with a serrated edge.
Held her from behind, nicked her spinal cord several times.
It takes a lot of strength to do that while the victim's fighting.
He hating on working girls? Maybe just this girl? 'Cause she wouldn't swallow? Wow.
You speaking from experience? We'll call you when we get a hit on the prints.
And, uh, good luck on the sergeant's exam, Holder.
Thanks, doc.
He hasn't passed it yet.
No need to blow smoke up his ass already.
I'm telling you Jablonski's our man.
He ain't gonna take it.
No doubt.
He'll do it.
He'll do it.
Just let me do the talking.
Heading in.
- What's that? You jack that ring, too? - Yeah.
Lyric was telling me about this blue ring her grandmother used to have.
She would always try to steal it, but I figure, it's blue.
So, are you gonna give it to her? I don't know.
You should.
You love her.
Look at you! Shut up.
Shut up! No.
Twitch will kill you if he thinks you're moving in on his woman.
- She ain't his woman.
- I heard they hooked up.
They're squatting together at the hotel.
You think them playing house means jack? No, that low-rent punk is using her! I'm gonna kick his shitty white ass! Yeah.
He ain't all that.
That boy ain't packing nothing down them Sean Johns! So, tell her, dumbass.
Tell her what? That you like her? Don't just sit with it, walking around with it like you do.
Come here.
Let me see it.
Why? Bullet, come on.
Ready? - "Bullet, I love you.
" - Here, let me get this.
Oh, shut up, man.
Come on.
Stand still.
Sure, I'll take the Jane Doe.
Yeah? You sure, Jablonski? You take my drug dealer down at York Ave.
The projects.
The Williams job? That's a slam dunk.
If you want to hang down in banger land.
Which I, for one, do not.
Done and done.
You want a soda or something? Yeah, diet, if they got it.
Watching the weight.
Yeah, not me.
Good on you.
Let's go.
You got a case file? Yeah, yeah, just got to sign off on some of the paperwork.
Uh, I'll get it back to you.
Huh? _ _ _ Gotcha! Aah! Ah! Don't do that! Cody! What? Oh, man, you should see your face.
You're a jerk! - Hey.
- Hey.
You want to get off the island later? Get downtown, catch a band or something? I would love to but I'm working the afternoon shift.
Yeah? You weren't on the roster.
I know, but Ron approved it last minute.
But until then I'm free and clear.
Hey.
Whoa, whoa.
Hold up.
What? L-let's just What? Come here.
Oh, my God.
No! Ray Seward, this death warrant orders your execution in 30 days' time for the crime of murder in the first degree of Trisha Ann Seward.
You will be relocated to the Intensive Management Unit and placed on death watch for the duration of your incarceration.
Your attorney has been provided with the same forms and documentation.
Do you understand everything I just told you? Good luck, Mr.
Seward.
What up, Linden? I've been running every morning.
It's been great living out here.
Nice suit, by the way.
You know how we do.
So, what? You still still smoke? No.
I-I gave that up a while ago.
You? No, no, I'm nicotine free.
It's been a year.
We've been batting a thousand.
It's me, my partner, but 7 out of 7 solves.
Been climbing the PD food chain, politically speaking.
You know? Pretty good for a first year out.
It sounds like you're doing great.
You know, it's Joaquim shooting Rakim, whatever, but, you know, it is what it is.
Yep.
It is.
I'm gonna take the sergeant exam in a month.
Wow.
Been hitting the books, AM to the PM.
Great.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
Uh Cody, this is Holder.
We used to work together.
And this is Cody.
We work together now.
Well, how do you do? Hey.
I was just heading out.
Okay.
Well, I'll call you later.
See you, Sarah.
Mm-hmm.
Ain't that sweet.
Linden's datin'.
- I'm not dating.
- Booty-calling, then.
- Dial 1-900-Linden? - You want milk? Or are you still doing that lacto-vegan thing? Is he one of, uh, Jack's friends? No, I-I'm not judging.
I mean, that that's just sexy, you know? How did that play out? He come knocking on the door and and you open up in your sexy lingerie? You're not funny.
And he's like, "is Jack home?" "No, no, Jack is out playing, but" Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
"come inside and wait.
" So, how how's little man doing? I heard he's got himself a sweet little piece.
Holder.
He has a girlfriend.
Hmm.
You know, we text every now and then.
Keeps me in the loop.
Yeah, he always liked you for some reason.
What's not to like? So, why are you here? Uh, that case you were working on a couple of years ago the Picasso kid who did that drawing? Mom was a hooker, got her head almost cut off? Caught a body this morning.
Working girl, head hanging by a thread, too.
If you're looking for a connection, there is none.
We got the killer three years ago, put him away.
End of story.
And now they're gonna execute him.
I'm guessing you heard.
What do you want, Holder? I was thinking I'd take a look at your old case file, just make sure there's no connection between your crack ho and mine.
Good idea.
Go for it.
The thing is, the storage says the box is already checked out.
And they don't know who took it.
Yeah, but they're a bunch of idiots down there.
They're always misplacing boxes.
Just keep looking for it.
You'll find it.
I have to go.
You tell little man I said, you know Mm-hmm, yep, sure.
Looking good, Linden.
Hey, Holder.
Not every victim's worth it.
You know, you start caring you'll end up like me working minimum wage on a ferry.
Never thought the day would come I'd hear that from you.
Moving day, Seward.
You're being transported to "C" block three miles down the road.
Should we get stopped by somebody trying to remove you from state custody, we will shoot you first right where you sit.
Better enjoy the view.
Last time you'll see it.
I head up the Intensive Management Unit, AKA "The Row.
" Call me "CO" or "sir.
" Now here's what's gonna happen.
We're gonna help you move in.
Don't even have to buy us a beer.
You've been issued two sets of underwear, one pair of trousers, three changes of shirt, a toothbrush, and a stick of deodorant.
Gentlemen.
Backup towards the beanhole.
You're gonna get what you got coming.
Now, you got here faster than most.
My guess is you'll leave here faster too.
I want to see the prison chaplain.
Our girl Patrice don't lie.
And she said that girl had her head cut off.
Oh, quit tripping.
You're so full of it.
Just ignore him.
You know Ricky's just hoppin' for attention.
I'm not worried about that.
I got to find a place to crash.
I'm done with sleeping outside.
- You got money? - I got $20.
I might pull a date, but it won't be enough.
I got to get more Pall Malls, too.
Damn, girl, I'll jack you cigs.
Don't worry about that.
- Besides - Don't look.
It's just Joe and his rank-ass cab.
What of it? I don't want Joe stopping.
God! Why? He do something to you? Hey, what's up, man? Give me a pack of Victories.
Thanks.
What's up? What's up, little man? Hey, you hear about a missing girl from around here? If you ain't arresting me, I don't got to talk to you.
Something I should be arresting you for? Not a thing.
But unless I'm in cuffs or in the back of your ride, I don't got to talk to you.
Yeah, you already said that.
Yeah, just in case you forgot.
No, you're pretty, uh, unforgettable, there, little man.
And you're pretty slow, there, five-0.
I ain't a boy.
Ah! I can see that.
What about you, baby? Hear about a little girl missing from around here? No.
Yo, po, you're not getting any donuts? I don't eat donuts.
Mm.
As a matter of fact, I don't eat anything that's processed.
Why? 'Cause you want to retain your youthful, glowing skin? 'Cause even the Taj Mahal needs upkeep.
Whatever.
You just get old and nasty 'cause you get old and nasty.
I mean, look at you.
Forilla.
You hear about a missing girl or what? Man, get off of my block.
You heard me get.
Bullet, no.
Shut up.
All right, peace out Bullet.
Yeah, you get, Mr.
Police! You come back, you're gonna get a bullet in your greasy ass you want to act like a man, I will treat you like a man.
Make no mistake about it, I'll swipe the floor with your little, baby, butch, bitch ass right in front of your little skank-ho girlfriend.
You feel me? Peace out, po-po.
Hey, babe.
No, no, nothing's wrong.
You were everything she wanted.
She knew it the minute she met you.
And she just couldn't shut up about it, ever.
Regi and Ellen, you have found your best selves in each other.
And I just couldn't be happier for you two.
'Cause it's so rare, that a person who sees who you are at your core who sees what you're good at what you love to do more than anything who you really are I hope you're ready to spend a lot of time on the open sea.
Congratulations.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Can I bum one, mom? Hi.
You coming back in? Yeah.
In a bit.
Have you had a nice trip? Yeah, it's been great seeing Nash and Dillon.
You too.
You gonna be okay when I go home? I think I can handle it.
Your dad said he would meet you at the airport.
And, uh, that I should check and make sure you finished all of your English and Algebra homework.
I did.
He said you're doing awesome in school.
You ever think about moving to Chicago? I don't really know anybody there.
Besides you and your dad.
We can see each other a lot more.
Yeah, that's true.
So, why are you still here, then? We should go.
We don't want to miss your plane.
He hits a puddle.
He goes sliding across the pavement, skinning his knee, his back it was hilarious.
All out of PB and J's.
I don't eat meat, bitch.
Got you fries.
"Why, thank you, Carl.
That's so thoughtful and considerate of you.
" Yeah, whatever.
Hey.
Jablonski you think he's ID'd her yet? Who? Jane Doe.
I mean, you think he would have by now.
I mean, you think he's on to Missing Person at least? Damn it.
UW down by 6, less than a minute.
I thought you guys wanted to go dancing.
Yeah, we need more touchdowns.
Be a miracle, since it's basketball.
Not our case anymore, man.
Yeah, I know.
You need to be making upward moves, not lateral ones.
Homicide's either a way station or a crypt.
Look at Jablonski.
I know.
All right, then.
Hit the books.
Quit being a bitch.
Oh, I hate losing to Wazzu.
Yeah.
Detective Holder.
Hi, Detective.
Coroner's got an ID on the Jane Doe you brought in.
When do you want to pick up the paperwork? Uh yeah, yeah.
Mm, about an hour or two? - Fine.
- All right.
I'll see you there.
Caroline.
Wanted to know what time I'm finishing up here.
See? That's what I'm talking about.
When was the last time you saw your daughter? Six months ago.
It started when Ashley got involved with some kids from her middle school.
She's 14.
She probably told you she's older? Well, it's not true.
There's a treatment center in Minnesota.
They've agreed to take her as soon as she comes home.
She's here isn't she? I'm sorry.
Your daughter, her body was found this morning.
I'm gonna need you to come down to the coroner's office No.
identify her.
No! No! Hey, mom.
If it's money you want, I don't got it.
Why did you change the locks? 'Cause I don't like you coming up in here whenever you please like my house is some damn hotel.
Well, I called you earlier like a bunch of times.
Where were you? Oh.
You got a phone now.
It's a burner, mom.
It's like 15 bucks.
Yeah, which you could be paying towards helping me with rent.
You don't even let me stay here.
You're grown.
You need to learn how to pull your own weight.
I take care of myself.
Then why are you here? You eat today? No.
You want something hot? I got frozen patties from Costco.
Can fry them up it'd just take a sec.
Not hungry.
What are you looking at? I need lipstick and eye stuff.
Number 483.
Pretty in pink.
It'll look good on me, don't you think? You got my coloring.
Sure it will.
Pink's a good color for us.
Yeah.
It is.
Mom? - Ma.
- What? You can't stay here.
Maybe tomorrow or this weekend, but tonight I got stuff going on.
He's coming over, isn't he? When are you gonna learn to watch your mouth? Show him some respect? You know, he told me what you said about his truck.
I didn't say anything about his stupid beat-up truck.
Right.
You're not gonna ruin this for me, not this time.
He's good to me, and he's good for me.
Why can't you just let me have that? Let me be happy for once.
Well, I'm sorry I screwed up your whole life by being born.
Yeah, well, you did.
May I sit with you? Do they ever clean these windows? I don't think so.
It makes everything out there look murky like you're looking through a shower glass.
It's gonna be this way the whole time I'm here, isn't it? Yeah.
It is.
They got two alpine larch right there.
See? I had a tree like that out my window when I was a boy.
Slept on the fold-out TV room.
The thing never had any leaves on it.
Well, it's like coming home this place.
There's just nothing to look at except those trees.
So, I don't believe in Jesus and all that shit, so you can leave it alone.
Okay And I'm not confessing either absolving my sins so that I can see my maker.
I'm not here to make you do anything you don't want to do, Ray.
God isn't listening anyway.
Maybe, maybe not.
You people just never give up, never give it a rest.
Now, why is that? I sit with a lot of men, Ray.
Men like you.
And I guess whatever relief I can bring them, in their final days, is why I don't give it a rest.
Are you gonna be there when they kill me? If you want me there, yes.
If I wanted Oh, man.
If I was gonna ask for forgiveness how would I do it? What do you want forgiveness for? Start with that.
For what I did to my wife and to my son.
Well, then talk about that, Ray.
- Go! Go! Go! - Get in there! No! Back off! Need a medic! The last execution was two years ago.
This is what these guys live for, and you want to give them more of a reason to make your life in here hell.
They don't need a reason.
They never did.
What do you want? I know why you passed on your appeals.
You're not gonna drag things out.
- I get it.
- No.
You don't get anything, 'cause you're on the other side of this glass.
So there's very little that you get.
We have one appeal left.
The Governor.
You can still save your life, or at least try to.
This is our last shot.
Think of your son.
Adrian's 10, right? There's still time to be a father to him.
All right, then.
You convinced me.
Forget lethal injection.
Make them hang me, 'cause I got that right in Washington State to be hanged, so that way, when they kill me, they'll hear it.
Aah! We have three beds available tonight.
Three beds.
Make sure you got your tickets, kids.
Hey, Lyric.
You and Twitch flopping at the hotel tonight? Nah, we got run out 'cause Animal Control came? Took all of Nisey's cats.
Said the hotel was a "health hazard.
" Bet the cats got worms.
Got to give them a bunch of pills to get rid of them.
The worms.
Bullet's gonna be a veterinarian.
- Yeah? - Giraffe's got four stomachs.
- That's nasty.
- Yeah.
They have to digest their food a bunch of times, which is why they're always chewing.
They're even-toed ungulates.
Okay.
It's kind of cute when you go off like that, B.
Can I get your attention? Hey.
Eyes up front.
Anybody see Ashley? Unless someone has, I'm gonna have to give up her bunk to someone else tonight.
She's just stupid.
Forget about her.
It's gonna get stolen here.
I'll keep it until you want it back or whatever.
All right, we got three empty beds tonight.
Let's find out who are the lucky winners! It's about time.
I got number 5 Right here.
- number 22 - 22! That's me! and lucky number 13! That's me, Pastor Mike.
Looks like you're in for the night, Bullet.
In the meantime, all those of you living off the land tonight Here.
Take my ticket.
our thoughts and our prayers are with you.
Bullet, no, don't be stupid.
I can stay at my mom's.
She said I could if I didn't get a bed here.
Catch you later? Don't venture too far.
We open at 6:00 AM tomorrow we got hot breakfast, hot showers, dry clothes, you can have a nap.
I hope to see you all tomorrow.
God bless.
