What happened in The Killing season 2 finale? Based on the BAFTA-winning Danish crime series Forbrydelsen, The Killing stars Mireille Enos (Hanna) and Joel Kinnaman as Seattle homicide detectives Sarah Linden and Stephen Holder and follows the pair as they investigate various murders on their beat. The AMC series was adapted for American TV by showrunner Veena Sud and ran for four seasons between 2011 and 2014, starting with a pilot episode directed by future Wonder Woman helmer Patty Jenkins.
The first season of The Killing saw Linden and Holder investigate the murder of local teenager Rosie Larsen (Katie Findlay, Man Seeking Woman) whose body was found in the trunk of a car connected to the mayoral campaign of city councilman Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell). There were plenty of suspects in Rosie’s murder but by the end of the season all fingers pointed to Richmond being the killer until it came to light a key piece of evidence had been falsified.
The Rosie Larsen case carried over into The Killing season 2. Though Richmond was exonerated, plenty of plot twists and turns emerged throughout the crime drama’s sophomore season as Linden and Holder delved deeper into the lives of Rosie and those around her, which suggested her death may indeed have something to do with the murky characters involved in Seattle’s politics. It wasn’t until The Killing season 2 finale, however, that the circumstances behind Rosie’s death were finally revealed.
Linden and Holder’s digging led to the discovery Rosie overheard a covert meeting between Richmond’s campaign manager Jamie Wright (Eric Ladin, Bosch), casino manager and tribal chief Nicole Jackson (Claudia Ferri) and prominent real estate developer Michael Ames ((Barclay Hope) the night of her murder. Their conversation revealed the trio had colluded to plant Native American bones at a waterfront development spearheaded by Richmond’s rival and current Seattle mayor Lesley Adams (Tom Butler, Literally) to sabotage his campaign. With Adams out of the picture, Richmond would win the mayoral race and Wright would convince him to let Jackson and Ames profit from the waterfront project which would allow the latter to leave his wife for his lover Terry (Jamie Anne Allman, Preacher), who just so happened to be Rosie’s aunt.
The Killing season 2 finale saw Wright commit suicide by cop but not before revealing he’d knocked Rosie unconscious and placed her in the trunk of the car she was found in. He called Ames for help who arrived at the lake with Terry in tow. Wright tried to goad Ames into killing Rosie lest she reveal their corrupt activities but Ames refused to have any more to do with Wright or the waterfront development. Deducing this meant Ames would no longer leave his wife for her, Terry decided to deal with the problem herself and drove the car into the lake, not knowing it was Rosie inside the trunk.
Terry’s confession at the end of The Killing season 2 finale rocked the Larsen family and her arrest left Linden wondering if they’d even caught the real bad guy, considering Ames got off scot-free and Wright was already dead. Although the crime drama was cancelled by AMC after its second season, The Killing was revived for a third season by AMC and a fourth season by Netflix which saw Linden and Holder investigate yet more plot twist-filled murder investigations.
