"Bulldog" is the twenty-fourth episode of the American television drama series The Killing, and the eleventh of its second season, which aired on the AMC channel in the United States on June 3, 2012.
In the episode, the detectives gain access to the casino's tenth floor, which only causes them to elude the police; and both Stan Larsen (Brent Sexton) and Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell) make decisions that affect their futures.
Picking up where the last episode finished, Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) still insists to Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) that they must retrieve the City Hall keycard from the casino's tenth floor.
In his office, Mayor Lesley Adams (Tom Butler) watches the online video of Richmond playing basketball.
He then tells the Mayor that Jamie's ex-girlfriend at the district attorney's office leaked information to the Richmond campaign and that he plans to go speak with her.
Janek Kovarsky (Don Thompson) and his men, including Alexi Giffords (Tyler Johnston), approach Stan in his garage.
Janek sends the men outside and threatens to harm the Larsen family, unless Stan agrees to kill Joseph Nowak for talking to the police.
Back in Seattle, Richmond tells Jamie Wright (Eric Ladin) and Gwen about his suicide attempt and decides to withdraw from the race.
At the park, Stan asks Terry (Jamie Anne Allman) to take care of the boys should anything happen to him, then leaves without further explanation.
When Lt. Carlson (Mark Moses) enters his office, Adams orders him to arrest Linden in exchange for a possible promotion to police commissioner.
Stan sneaks up as Nowak (Brad Kelly) attempts to start his car but stops when he sees a baby in the back seat.
Club's Brandon Nowalk rated this episode a B−, saying "If it isn't obvious from all the whiplash, The Killing is racing through this twisty, foggy road to a sudden end, caution to the wind.
