03x09 - Reckoning

[bunniefuu]

Previously on AMC's The k*lling...

Joe's up there.

Did you find him?

No, not yet.

She was at a bar with some guy...

My boy's looking at me like I'm some chump.

It ain't easy living with a man like him.

What did you do with your wife's ring?

I pawned it.

A salvation is a place for everybody, but it's a choice to go there.

You almost got my partner k*lled.

Now get out!

I didn't k*ll my wife, and you believe me, don't you?

I do, yes.

I'll make sure you can talk to Adrian.

Detective Stephen Holder. Leave a message.

I know I messed up, man, but I know who he is.

[ Train whistle blowing in distance ]

[ Dogs barking in distance ]

[ Siren wails in distance ]

[ Barking continues ]

Kallie?

[ Breathing shakily ]

Kallie?

Kallie.

Kallie!

Hey, man.

Where you been at?

[ Chuckles lightly ]

3.09 - Reckoning

I'm just saying, you know.

Kid's got 20/20, he knows his ABCs. 1, 2, 3s.

That's better than most witnesses we got.

The state still needs to know if Adrian's mentally stable enough to be considered a credible witness.

[ Bell rings ]

Psychologist is on his way.

So, how long is it gonna take for Dr. Spock to do his mind-meld thing before we can see Picasso?

We're gonna be here all day.

It's okay. I got patience.

I'm a patient man.

He saw the man who k*lled his mom, Holder.

And he's remembering more and more.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Beep ]

Linden.

What?

When?

Okay, here we come.

Danette: That son of a bitch... He stole my money.

Your money?

Dude must be really desperate.

He took my car, too. I already told him.

[ Sniffles ]

Did, uh, Joe tell you where he might be going?

Some out-of-town ass he might have tagged or...

Montessori he was scouting for talent?

Holder.

[ Mutters ]

[ Police radio chatter ]

I thought it was Kallie. I thought she had come home.

You got to find him.

He only wanted your money?

I-I-I don't... I don't... I don't know.

He took a bunch of his camping stuff and his fishing stuff.

Did he take anything else?

Uh, he asked me if, uh... if I still had snow chains in my trunk.

Does he have a cabin?

Someplace he could hide out.

No, he doesn't have anything like that.

What about camp sites, places in the woods he would go?

You said he took his camping and fishing gear.

Um, he was... he was into backwoods stuff back when we met, but that was way up along the border.

Dispatch has the make and model of Danette's car.

Skinner's alerting border patrol, port authority is staging at all the major freeway routes and transitions on the border.

Guy's got a two-hour head start.

If he's trying to cross the border into Canada, we're gonna be playing "Where's Waldo?" forever, you know?

[ Dog barking ]

Yeah. I'll let you know what we find.

[ Sighs ] Danette has this old storage unit in Rainier Valley.

She remembers putting away a lot of Mills' old camping stuff there.

I ain't rooting around some damn storage unit, Linden.

It's got his maps... all of his whole backwoods topographical maps, every place he ever camped, hunted, fished.

All right, then.

I mean, you could have just said.

[ Engine turns over ]

[ Tires screech ]

I'll leave a message.

It's for Detective Sarah Linden.

Tell her Ray...

Seward called.

I'll be waiting.

You really think that cop's gonna save you, Seward?

[ Sighs ]

The lord works in mysterious ways.

So you found God now, huh?

You guys are like clockwork, you know that?

Dale, you hear that?

You got a little Jesus circle jerk buddy here.

I'm getting out, Francis. And when I do, maybe I'll pay a little visit to your wife, have a go at her just like everyone else in here.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Clanging ]

[ Grunts ]

Ray: Come on!

You can do better than that.

Open the gate.
[ Buzzer ]

Francis?

Open the gate!

[ Gate thuds ]

The psychologist is still talking to him?

So, how long till Adrian's cleared to speak with me?

Contact me immediately when that happens.

Power by the hour?

Actually, give me a smoke.

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

I mean, no.

Seriously?

Yep.

Oh, it's fine. I get it.

All I'm saying is, you know, you buy a pack or two, reciprocate the love every now and then, and, you know, we're back to being BFFs again.

Whatever. I gave you one. You gave it to b*llet.

What's going on? You two break up?

She's unreliable.

Can't trust her no more.

[ Knocks ]
Here it is.

Can't have a C.I. like that.

Damn.

For being broke as sh*t, Danette sure has got a ton of it.

That's why we couldn't get eyes on him.

Son of a bitch was holed up here the whole time.

Seriously, Linden, I was just playing with you back there.

If you need a fix that bad...

[ Elevator bell rings, doors open ]

I'll head it off! You cover the back!

[ Panting ]

[ Grunts ]

Aah!

[ Groans ]

Linden!

Holder!

[ Groaning ]

[ Groans ]

[ Straining ]
Holder!

Holder!

[ Holder grunts ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Grunts ]

Aah!

[ Coughs ]

Aah!

Hey.

[ Handcuffs click ]

[ Police radio chatter ]

Talk to the medic?

I'm fine.

What are we charging him with?

Well, we're waiting to hear back from the DA, 'cause we don't have anything linking him yet to the bodies.

Reddick: Lieutenant!

Loo!

You need to see this.

Christmas come early.

Looks like his rings.

We got him.

All right, nobody touches this stuff until the forensics and lab boys get here.

Emily, get me the DA Tell him it's urgent.

All right, steady, people, steady!

Moments like this, there's an old police saying...

First round's on me!

[ Laughter, indistinct talking ]

Holder: Hey, loo, you there?

We found Mills' cab down on the ground floor.

'Bout to check it out.

Think he's got another body in the trunk.

We found blood all over the bumper.

Don't open it! Excuse me!

Coming through.

[ Metal grinds ]

It's stuck.

Give me that thing.

Sarah: Holder!

Stop! Move! Coming through.

Get out of my way!

Don't open the trunk!

[ Panting ]

What?

Just come over here.

Please, Holder.

You don't need to be here.

Holder, please don't.

[ Creaking ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

Holder: What'd the coroner say?

Same C.O.D. as the other 18.

She was dead less than 12 hours.

She fought back, right?

[ Sighs ]
Yeah.

Broken wrist, dozens of defensive wounds.

She didn't go quietly.

You know, report says this sick prick resisted arrest.

Doesn't look like it to me.

You? Hmm?

Five minutes, no witnesses?

No questions?

Just say the word.

Holder.

[ Clears throat ]

Just give him some time. He'll be all right.

[ Door closes ]

All right. Where are we?

Forensics is running tests on the rings, match them to our bodies.

Got our guys out there showing photos of the jewelry to the families.

Help expedite the IDs.

And what about Trisha Seward?

Are we trying to connect any of the rings to her?

We got 18 other girls to worry about first, Sarah.

So, let me question Mills.

He's not talking to anyone. Except his girlfriend.

Danette?

He insists he's got to talk to her.

Is that kosher, boss?

Well, whatever he tells her is admissible.

I want a confession.

I don't give a damn how we get it.

There's no blue ring with the other jewelry.

Maybe he's gonna tell us where Kallie is.

Is it true that Joseph Mills has been arrested in connection with this case?

No comment.

Can you confirm Joseph Mills as the Pied Piper?

Excuse me.
[ Indistinct talking ]

Stephen!

[ Sighs ]

Hey.

[ Sighs ]

I heard what happened.

Ohh, I'm sorry.

But you know the reality.

The... the danger these kids put themselves in every day.

Yeah.

It's their choice to be out on the streets.

It doesn't really matter if she d*ed.

It's just another statistic.

That's not what I'm saying.

You think this tattoo... Do you think it's cute?

What?

Do you even know what it means?

I'm an addict!

A tweaker.

I sh*t meth into my veins every day.

Just get out.

Just get out!

[ Sniffs ]

[ Car door closes ]

[ Car horn honks in distance ]

I was at social services.

Your P.O. gave me this.

Listen...

You're officially off probation, baby.

You can go to L.A. now, start modeling and... and acting.

My social worker, she said she'd get one of those new apartments for me... if I could get the deposit.

So it's like... [sighs]

Great news for both of us.

Baby?

Are you okay?

It...

It's...

It's b*llet.

[ Phone beeps ]

[ Door opens ]

Hey, babe.

You look good.

Where's Kallie?

I don't know.

You got to believe me... I didn't do any of this.

Come on, you know me.

You know I could never hurt anybody.

You had her cellphone.

Yeah, I was trying to get her away from the hotel.

She was screaming at me, and, like, she's high as a kite or something.

And the next thing I know, she jumps out of my cab and she just takes off.

You never told me that you saw her!

What did you do to her in that hotel?

Nothing, Danette.

I loved that kid.

And you know that.

[ Sniffles ]

All right, listen.

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna get some money together.

You and my mom.

And you're gonna get me a real lawyer.

And you're gonna get me out of here, and then we're gonna find her.

Okay?

I promise you we will find her, and we will be a family again.

Okay?

Babe.

I talked to your mother!

She told me... she told me what you did to those kids.

She's done protecting you.

She said that you're not her little boy anymore.

Bullshit.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ]

She...

She told me.

She... she told me everything you did to those girls in the hotel... those films.

[ Crying ]

Why?

[ Sniffles ]

Those little girls...

They came to me.

It's not wrong.

It's nature. It can't be helped.

[ Sniffles ]

They look at me... with that ache... that sweet, sweet ache.

And they look at me with those little sad eyes, and they're like, "Please, mister.

"Please. Just make it go away."

I was gentle.

And I took care of them.

And I made it go away.

What did you to her? What did you do to my baby?

What did you do to her?!

What did you do to my baby?!

Where's Kallie? Where is she?!

Where's my daughter, you son of a bitch?!

Where's Kallie?!

Where is my daughter?! What did you do to her?!

Adrian... I'd like to talk to you about what happened to your mom on the night of December 26, 2009.

That night, do you remember seeing anyone else in your apartment?

Besides your mom?

No one's gonna hurt you if you did.

I promise you.

You can tell me.

I'm gonna need you to answer yes or no, okay?

It's for the tape recorder.

Yes.

You're doing great.

What did you see this man doing?

He hurt my mom.

He had a Kn*fe.

Can you tell me where you were when you saw this man who hurt your mom?

In the closet.

It was late, and I woke up.

It was late.

Um, were the lights on... in your apartment?

Is that how you were able to see him?

No. It was dark.

Um... The Christmas tree was on.

My mom kept the lights on the Christmas tree at night.

That's how.

Is the man you saw that night, the one with the Kn*fe who hurt your mom, in any of these photos?

Are you sure that was him?

You're positive?

Can I see my dad now?

Skinner: From day one, Joseph Mills has always been a person of interest.

And as the press liaison reported earlier today, due to excellent police work, we have the suspect in police custody at this time.

Now, the important thing is... the so-called "Pied Piper" is finally off the streets, and the city of Seattle can rest easy tonight.

[ Applause ]

Any more questions?

[ Reporters shouting indistinctly ]

Got any messages for me?

[ Papers rustle ]

Five from Elliot Bay... a Ray Seward.

[ Sighs ]

[ Dialing ]

[ Ringing ]

Woman: You've reached the Washington Department of Corrections, Elliot Bay Penitentiary.

If you know your party's extension, please enter it now, or press 1 for...

Hey. [ Phone closes ]
You all right?

You want to sit?

Yeah.

I think that I...

I think I deserve this.

Nobody deserves this.

[ Crying ]
No.

I pick messed-up guys.

I know that. I know.

But Joe, he was nice to me.

He was nice to Kallie.

He bought her these Christmas presents the first year we were together and...

I mean, they were... they were late... but like... at least he tried.

He went off to Alaska, and he was, like, saving up money to buy these things.

[ Sighs ]

I thought he was one of the good ones, you know?

What'd he get her for Christmas?

I don't know... one of those dolls with the hair that grows.

They're creepy, if you ask me.

Kallie was 12, but she acted like a little girl.

Wait, Kallie was 12? This was three years ago?

Yeah.

And Joe was in Alaska?

Yeah, on some boat, fishing or something?

When? When was he there?

I-I told you... Christmas.

I dropped him off at the docks two weeks before, and then he came back at the end of January.

So he wasn't... He wasn't here?

He wasn't in Seattle the day after Christmas three years ago?

You're sure?

What... what did I just say?

Did I just say some...

Did I do something wrong?

Ray: Give me the phone!

I got to make a call! It's my right!

Give me the phone!!

Give me the phone!!

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Door rattles open ]

You got your calls.

You left your messages. She's not coming.

Get me the phone.

No one's coming for you.

It's time you understand that.

[ Groans ]

Come on!

[ Sighs ]

Oh, you know what?

I did get one message.

I forgot.

"To Ray Seward," from the State of Washington.

"24 hours prior to your execution, you get an extra hour yard time."

Yippee.

Get as much air in those lungs as you can.

[ Sighs ]

[ Buzzer ]

[ Gate rattles shut ]

Dale: Ray.

I know you're starting to have doubts.

But there's still time.

There's always time.

There's always hope.

Don't give up.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Sniffs ]

[ Both laughing ]

I'm gonna fall. Hey, hey, don't look.

I got you.

Just a little further.

Okay.

Where are we?

It's not much.

It's just, like, a place to start, you know?

You paid the deposit?

Mm-hmm.

This is mine?!
[ Chuckles ]

No, it's... it's ours.

O-ours?

[ Chuckles ]

Huh?

I-I love it! Oh, my God!

[ Chuckles ]
Not bad, huh?

It's so beautiful!

Nice little view.

What about L.A.?

Oh, it was...a dumb idea.

I mean...

You know...

Being with you is all I want.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Laughs ]

Huh? Is that good news?

Yeah.

Yeah?

We got our own little pad.

It's so clean.

Mm.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Key rattles in lock ]

[ Door opens ]

Green flower pot.

You weren't gonna answer the door if I knocked.

[ Door closes ]

It's not your fault.

Did you ever talk to Adrian?

Yeah.

He ID'd Mills, but Mills was out of town the night she was k*lled, so...

Adrian lied.

He must has seen him on TV.

You know, it's everywhere now.

He was just trying to make you happy.

No one knows... that Mills was out of town except Danette.

So...

I could still use Adrian's testimony to get Seward a stay.

It won't hold up, but...

[ Sighs ]

...it'll buy me some more time, at least.

You'd be burying evidence.

Yeah, but Ray Seward's gonna die tomorrow if I don't.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

I should have picked up.

Don't do that. Don't do that.

I should've called her back.

Don't do that. You want to sit here and die?

It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

Mm.
[ Sighs ]

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It doesn't matter.

It's okay. It's okay.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sobbing ]

It's gonna be okay.

[ Moans ]

[ Sobbing ]

It's gonna be okay.

[ Sobbing ]

It's all gonna be okay.

[ Crow caws ]

Dale: You hear that?

Crows.

They're calling to one another.

They're heading home.

[ Sniffs ]

We let each other down.

People do.

It happens.

I shouldn't have trusted her.

Will you... see your boy tomorrow?

What was it like?

When your... when your son was born?

[ Sighs ]

I was in prison when he was born.

I didn't see him till he was seven months old.

God's with you, Ray.

[ Sighs ]

He sees you. He...

[ Sniffles ]

He does?

He knows that you're scared.

And alone.

He knows the pain that you feel.

Every part of it.

I don't know how to pray.

So you can let it go, Ray.

[ Moans ]

Let it go.

God help me, please.

[ Crow cawing ]

He's got you. He's holding you up.

Please, lord, save me.

I'm so scared, God.

[ Laughing ]

Alton... [clears throat] was... was easy.

But you...

I-I thought you'd be harder to cr*ck.

[ Laughing ] Jesus, you should see your face right now!

[ Laughs ]

Oh, God.

Yeah, on... on... on the outside, I used my hands.

I felt them struggle, fight back, and then just give in.

In here?

The words do the k*lling for me.

I've been k*lling you since the day we met.

Your hate, your rage... your damn... hope.

[ Chuckles ]

Y'all are so predictable.

[ Groans ]

[ Chuckles ]
Boring.

Oh, God.
[ Groans ]

I hate boring.

[ Knock on door ]

I'm done!

[ Gate rattles open ]

Guy downtown's giving me $500 for the shackles Seward wears to the execution...

Another $300 for the hood he wears over his face.

[ Chuckles ]

Grab something tomorrow.

These sickos pay better than O.T.

I'm not on the execution team.

Name's on the list.

What?

Becker said he was short a man.

Volunteered you.

[ Telephone rings ]

C Block. Henderson.

Annie: Oh, thank God it's you.

Who is this?

It's Annie!

Oh, my God! You've got to come!

What? Annie?

Oh, my God!

Calm down. I don't understand what you're...

Francis sh*t him!

He sh*t him?!

[ Siren wails ]

[ Annie crying ]

[ Police radio chatter ]
Oh, my God.

Annie called the prison.

She couldn't reach you. She called me.

Some guy showed up... boyfriend, something... and your son sh*t him.

Annie: [ Crying ] Francis! He didn't mean to do it!

He didn't mean to!

[ Sobbing ]

What's going on?

[ Sighs ]

Hey.

Just need to pick up the body's personal effects, log it into evidence.

Ra... Rachel Olmstead, a.k.a. "b*llet."

I thought Mills liked k*lling girls, not boys.

Sorry. Bad timing?

Yeah.

For me and her both, I guess.

Meaning what?

Meaning her calling the station a bunch of times last night.

Wait, what the hell are you talking about?

Oh, yeah. She was looking for you.

Reddick logged it.

Just figured it was another wild goose chase.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Clears throat ]

Sit. Finish. I'll get it.

I got it.

Better not be those damn Amway people again.

[ Clears throat ]

Holder.

What...

You talked to her?!

What the hell?

You talked to b*llet?!

I called you, damn it!

You son of a bitch! You could have helped her!

Oh, my God. Stop!

Stop it!

I tried, damn it!

Stop!!

You talked to her and you didn't help her?!

I tried calling you!

Stop it!

Get off!

Stop!

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

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Skinner: Guys were able to match most of the rings to a victim.

Couldn't ID these four, though.

DA's pressing Mills.

Could be more bodies.

Another dump site.

How'd it go with Adrian?

I was wrong.

There's no connection between Trisha Seward and Mills.

I'm sorry.

But it's over. We got the guy.

For their families.

We give them that, at least.

You going to the execution tomorrow?

No.

Well, I'm taking the guys out for a couple of rounds.

Cold drinks, warm conversation.

You interested?

I don't...really feel like celebrating.

You did great work, Sarah.

Great work.

[ Chuckles softly ]

For whatever it's worth...

I think that you should stay on.

This is where you belong.
