What are you doing, bud?

Someone was outside.

What?

I heard a noise by the front door

I was scared.

Hey, you know...

it's probably that cat from next door

getting in cur garbage again.

Why don't you get back to bed?

I'll go down and take a look, okay?

Get out of here.

What's Rosie's backpack doing here?

Go upstairs, buddy.

Go, go, go, come on. Go, go, go, go.

What do you want?

We need to talk.

Gwen, please.

Are you kidding me?

Do you know where he is right now, detective?

He's lying in the hospital paralyzed.

You're telling me your evidence doesn't add up?

I just need us to go over

everything that you remember from that night.

No.

I spent the last 12 hours

sitting in a hospital waiting room

praying that he would survive,

covered in his blood.

Now you're telling me you don't have a case anymore?

If he wasn't with you that night,

then where was he?

Is that Rosie's camera, Mr Larsen?

No.

L-I don't know.

Maybe it's from the school?

That's her backpack.

What about the rest of it?

Yeah. It's Rosie's stuff.

He's still out there, isn't he?

You got the wrong guy.

We got the right guy.

That's what you said about the teacher

Hey, they're pressing charges today.

Then what is my daughter's stuff doing here?!

In front of my house!

That... that's blood, isn't it?

I understand you're upset, Mr Larsen.

I'm just gonna get all this tested and get you some answers.

What am I supposed to do in the meantime?

I got two little boys upstairs.

Whoever did this knows where we live.

Am I just supposed to wait until he comes back?

Shh. Stan.

Are you gonna give us protection?!

- Mr Larsen... - Hey, guys!

Go brush your teeth.

And then I’ll go take you to get doughnuts before school, okay?

L-I don't want them going to school...

Not till I know what the hell is going on.

Don't come down, boys. I’ll be right there.

Ali right, let me see what I can do about... sending a car over

- and keep an eye on you. - Thank you.

And I’ll give you a call as soon as we get some answers.

Hey, wait, wait, wait. What about Belko?

Yeah, you guys messed him up pretty good.

I saw that black eye yesterday.

Did he get a doctor yet?

L-I'd never been to that b&b with him in Tacoma before.

I wasn't even supposed to go.

I had a dinner that night. It was canceled.

I thought I would join.

And sometime after midnight,

he got up and left?

Yes.

Did he say anything to you?

No. I was half asleep.

When he got back, he was soaking wet.

Yes.

Did you ask him where he'd been?

No.

He didn't tell me.

He just stood there in the middle of the room

in his soaking-wet clothes, dripping on the rug.

And then he took off those clothes, and we...

Somehow he was different.

Different how?

More present.

Less preoccupied.

For once I felt like I wasn't...

competing with anyone else.

Or maybe I was just imagining that.

What time was it when he got back, Gwen?

I don't know.

Think.

Was it still dark outside?

I remember thinking it was morning.

Why? Because of the light?

No, because he smelled the way he smells

after he's been kayaking In the morning.

He smelled like sweat?

More briny.

Ike the ocean.

Yes.

When I kissed him, I could taste the salt on his neck.

What did he do with his clothes from that night?

I don't know.

Took them to the dry cleaner I don't know.

Do you have a key to his apartment?

Hey, lieutenant.

Yeah. It's her backpack.

Well, where'd it come from?

I don’t know. That's a good question.

Larsen's kind of spooked.

He thinks the killer's still out there.

Yeah, well, parents, they got theories,

never gonna be satisfied.

Yeah, see, l-l-l told him

we'd send a car by every now and then

and check up on him.

Where's the bag?

I'm... I'm taking it in in a few.

Well, do it now.

And, uh, take it to Stu.

Stu?

D-doesn't Linden always use Gary?

It's not Linden's case anymore. Just take it to Stu.

What was that about?

Larsen case.

All of a sudden, Oakes' interested

in who I give the evidence to?

I need caffeine. You buying?

I got a choice?

No, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, no, no, Darren. Hey!

Hey, nurse? Nurse, he's... he's pulling out his...

He's trying to pull out his breathing thing.

Pulse-ox is okay.

Let's put him on 8 liters of oxygen.

Mr Richmond, can you hear me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We got him.

Hey. Doc.

Dr Madigan?

Yes?

So, h-he's awake?

Yep. Breathing on his own. That's a good sign.

Great.

So, when are you gonna tell him?

Tell him what?

That he can't w-walk.

How are you gonna tell him?

Patients usually notice pretty quickly.

But you are the one that actually tells him, right?

Yes. Of course.

You should be there, too.

You are a close family member

it's not an easy thing to process.

He's gonna need as much support as he can get.

Right.

Hey. Elyse, it's, uh, Jamie Wright.

Again.

I left you two messages yesterday about your brother

Look, the surgeon said...

He's gonna have a lot to deal with, Elyse.

So, just please call me.

Or.. just call me.

Looking for Stu.

Engle!

That the Larsen backpack?

Yeah, I need, uh, prints, blood types.

You know the drill.

Okay, I'll let you know.

Stan!

What's going on?

Belko...

Last night, he...

Belko killed himself.

Oh, my God.

I don't even un... How did...

This ls so messed up, the cops...

The cops don't know what the hell they're doing.

Stop! You know what?

You can't even go there right now, Stan.

You're out on bail.

You're facing prison time as it is.

You're all the boys have right now.

And you need to watch out for them.

What do I tell them about Belko?

Nothing.

But what about Mitch?

We've got to tell them something, Stan.

She's their mom.

Okay.

Less we talk about this, the better

Okay?

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Nothing is supposed to be like this.

No matter what they tell you,

you just say you don't know what the condition is.

- Okay. Got it. - All right?

Hi.

How long's he have to have that?

Rest of his life...

Probably.

Have what?

Hey.

Hey.

You're awake.

Are we up...

Or down?

Darren, do you know where you are?

In a hospital?

Yeah.

Yeah, Darren, you had surgery.

You just... You just need to rest.

Where's Gwen?

She was here last night.

She... had to go home.

Why don't you get some sleep?

Jamie...

Dr Madigan's in surgery.

He'll be by later this afternoon.

But can't you call him or something?

Let him know?

He's asking questions.

Please, the doctor needs to talk to him right now.

I'll try to get a message to him,

but I can't promise.

This here's a saltwater inlet.

Everything else around here is freshwater

How far is that inlet from here?

About half a mile.

Are there kayak rentals down there?

No. Just a few houses.

Locals working the traps.

Thank you.

Do you... honestly believe he did it?

Killed that girl?

I don't know.

They came here a lot.

Boy, he was head over heels for her

The woman he was here with two weeks ago?

No. No, no, no.

His wife.

Lily.

Yeah, I been crabbing here the best part of 25 years.

Every day?

Well, that depends.

Nights sometimes.

See, some folks say the best time

to go crabbing is during a full moon.

Some say low tide.

Daytime, night-time.

Me, I just say throw the damn ring in

and see what comes up.

I bet you've seen a lot.

No, I'm not coming down there to fill out a report!

Don't you people keep records?

Detective Holder said he would send someone.

You like grilled cheese with tomatoes or ham?

This ls the second time you've put me on hold.

Uh... No, wait a minute!

Plain, just plain.

Well, I have this very special fancy pan,

if I can find it.

It makes the best grilled-cheese sandwiches ever

What is ail this stuff?

Just crap from my apartment.

Den?

Denny, what are you looking at?

We should get a dog.

We can't get a dog. Mom's allergic.

Detective Holder was here.

He saw what was on the doorstep.

I really need to speak with Detective Holder

if you could try and reach him one more time...

Whoa, there, partner That's fragile.

- I would... yeah, I'll hold. - It's just a glass.

This... the most expensive crystal that you can buy.

There's some people that have entire sets of these.

How much does it cost?

A lot.

Mine was a gift.

We need a dog, dad.

Dogs can protect you.

Sir?

Hear back from the lab on that backpack?

Yeah, uh, some latents, mostly Rosie's.

A few partials, no hits.

Speedy G, that Stu, huh?

Well, you'd be surprised what can get done

when you have friends around here.

So, the victim's backpack turns up out of nowhere,

and it's no big deal, huh?

I'm just saying we might want to look into it.

Is that right?

Well, when you're lieutenant,

feel free to allocate your resources any way you like.

But you're not. I am.

And you're on the Bagby case with Dillman.

- What? - All right.

I need D.A. Niilson.

When's she back?

No, no message. I've got her cell.

Christina, it's Linden.

I need to talk to you about Darren Richmond.

I've got something you're gonna want to hear

Call me right away.

I was sorry to hear about Richmond.

It's a nightmare.

You know, no matter what happens with this race,

you put up a good fight.

I respect that.

Hey, hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Get off me!

Screw you, you little bitch!

You and that child killer deserve each other!

Move it outside. Move it!

Hold it.

I'm here with the permission

of Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Christina Niilsen.

If you have a problem with that, call her

Mr Richmond.

Get out.

I know where you were October 5th...

The night Rosie Larsen was killed.

Gwen...

Told you I left that night.

Why didn't you tell me?

Help me to understand.

Why should I?

When I first met you, you were wearing a wedding band.

A lot of men don't.

But you did.

Five years after your wife's death.

You must have loved her very much.

October 5th.

You were standing on the bridge in Tacoma

because it was your anniversary.

You had proposed to Lily there.

The innkeeper remembers ordering champagne.

And maybe...

standing on that bridge...

again that night, it all came back to you...

what it had been...

what you had...

what you lost.

You have no idea...

how I felt.

The fisherman...

saw you in the water

Says that you fought him at first.

But I think you wanted to live.

And that's why you were soaking wet

when you came back to the inn that night.

I let her go.

I stuck around for the applause.

And she died on the side of the road,

alone, two minutes from our home.

I failed her

I'm sorry for what happened to you.

I wish that I had known the truth.

Do you have any idea...

what a suicide attempt does to a political campaign?

If one word of this goes public because of you,

I will have my lawyers on your ass so fast,

you won't know what hit you.

Now get out.

Christina.

Next time you use my name to talk to a suspect,

I need to know.

Richmond didn't do it.

I have a witness who was with him the night of the killing.

He was in Tacoma like he said.

What about the tollbooth photo?

The cameras weren't working on the bridge that night.

The photo was faked.

That's why I thought it might be best

for us to talk in private.

if I had known you were coming as deep throat,

I would have worn my trench coat.

Damn it, Linden.

You just opened up a Pandora's box of shit.

You do realize this?

You have to drop charges

and reopen the Rosie Larsen case.

No problem.

Good thing I'm not running for re-election.

The killer's still out there, Chris.

I can't just take your word.

Not on this one. No way.

No, no. Tik to my witness.

Corroborate Richmond's alibi yourself.

But I need you to keep him under wraps a couple of days.

The photo, too.

That's gonna really help my already-challenged relations

with the chief.

Look, I wouldn't ask you if I didn't have to.

The photo could be linked directly

to Rosie Larsen's murder

You got a few days.

Hey, I'm going out on a limb for you.

Don't I even get a thanks?

Nice. Right in the middle of the city hall gym.

We just about got this thing nailed,

and now you and your little impulse-control...

The little worm coldcocked me, I defended myself.

This ls just the kind of press we don't need right now,

you obsequious piece of shit!

I should fire your ass.

Yeah, well, you could...

But I wouldn't recommend it.

Put some ice on that thing.

Hello. This is Jayne Daly calling from Channel 3 News.

We need someone to comment

on Councilman Richmond's condition.

Please call me as soon as possible here at the station.

I can be reached at 206-555-010...

I'll take the sword. You take the scissors.

That's dumb.

That stupid sword's not gonna keep the bad guy out.

- Shut up! - You shut up.

Dad's gonna be home soon,

and I'm gonna tell him that you said he can't protect us.

The killer was right outside our house.

He can't.

Shut up.

It's true, and you know it.

- Give me the sword. - No! it's mine!

- Just give me the sword. - No! it's mine!

- No, it's not. - Yeah, it is! I made it!

Can I help you, sir?

Yeah, you can help me. My name's Stan Larsen.

Detective Holder promised to send a car by to watch my house,

so where is it?

I don't know, sir

if you want to talk to a detective, have a seat.

Hey. Hey, Holder!

Holder, I'm talking to you!

Call you back.

Mr Larsen, I got to go.

You said you'd send a car by.

My kids are terrified.

What... what the hell are you people doing about it?

We're working on it.

We're a little bit shorthanded right now.

If you see anything suspicious, give us a call.

The man who killed my daughter came to my house!

He put her bag... Her bag with her blood on it...

on my doorstep, and you want me to call

if I see anything suspicious?!

Mr Larsen, I'm sorry.

You son of a bitch.

So, what's the emergency

you couldn't tell me over the phone?

I-it's the Larsen case.

The bag that dropped.

Remember Oakes was riding me on that?

So I swapped the bags,

and I gave him my bag.

What?

And then he lied about the test results.

Why would he do that...

Unless we got the wrong guy?

We didn't get the wrong guy.

Richmond is the doer He was on that bridge.

It's over Move on.

Oh, uh...

We got to tell IA about Oakes.

No, we don't.

In fact, what you should do, Holder,

is shut the hell up.

What?

You think you got this job because you're a good cop?

No, son.

It's 'cause you're dirty.

And everybody knows it.

Crankhead.

Ow-life tweaker

You think anybody's gonna believe you?

Why do you think you still have a paycheck every week?

Because of me.

Don't you ever forget that.

The photo.

You gave it to me.

That's right.

Then you took it.

You knew you were taking a shortcut,

but you didn't care,

'cause you wanted the badge more.

That photo was requisitioned

with your partner's badge number,

in case you forgot.

So if you start getting a hair up your ass,

just remember it's on her..

Not me.

Get the hell out of my car

In a surprising turn cf events,

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Christina Niilson

announced today that Councilman Darren Richmond

will not be charged in the murder

of Seattle teen Rosie Larsen.

There was no comment from police

or response from Richmond,

who is recovering from a near-fatal gunshot wound...

Who are you? Where's Oakes?

I'm his replacement... lieutenant Carlson.

Oakes took an early retirement and a slap on the wrist

for overseeing your sloppy police work, Detective Linden.

Except that we both know that Richmond wasn't arrested

because of sloppy police work.

Mm.

Now I have work to do, Detective if you don't mind.

I know about the photo.

The photo?

Yeah. That the photo was a fake?

Seattle times would love to have that on the front page.

Why are you still here, Detective Linden?

I thought you retired.

Mm-hmm.

But I want back on the case.

I'm not going out like this. I'm gonna solve this murder

While I appreciate your commitment,

I haven't been so impressed with your ability so far

However, DA Niilsen strongly encouraged me

to give you another chance.

So, you're in luck.

One more thing.

I work my case alone.

I don't need a partner on this.

You're in no position to make any demands.

Holder's on with you until I say otherwise.

I think you're gonna find things

will be quite different around here from now on.

Darren, I...

Dr Madigan already told me.

Damndest thing.

Um...

They dropped the charges against you about an hour ago.

My lucky day.

Your dad's gonna love these.

Damn. I left my cigs in the car

- I'll get 'em. - No, I'll get 'em.

Hey.

You're Tommy, right?

Whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey!

Eugene Braxton, Seattle Times!

You get the hell off my property,

you blood-sucking son of a bitch!

Okay, all right! Just back off!

Just trying to do my job.

You leave us the hell alone!

Oh, hey, Mr Larsen.

How does it feel that the police

dropped the charges against Richmond?

Guess all bets are off, huh?

Look, you think about it.

You want to talk, give me a call.

Your kid's got my card.

Get upstairs.

I thought we weren't gonna be staying here long.

We're not, but we can't leave our stuff in the car

it'll get stolen.

Could you put those on the bed?

How was school?

Fine.

Weird.

Just give it time. It'll work out.

Linden.

Open the door, Linden. I-i know you're in there.

I need to talk to you.

Linden, open the door! I know... l know you're in there!

I-I saw your car parked out...

Linden, open the door!

Linden, I

Open the door, Linden! I-i got... i got to talk to you.

I-I can explain...

Linden, just open this... open the door, Linden!

Earlier today, Assistant DA Christina Niilsen

issued this statement.

He's no longer a suspect

in the case of the murder of Rosie Larsen.

The charges have been dropped,

but we're still investigating the case.

And that's ail I can say for now.

So, any questions?

Dziekujemy.

Rosie's killer..

Came to my house.

He's still cut there.

Janek, I want you to find him...

and kill him.
