From Up Here

"From Up Here" is the thirty-seventh episode of the American television drama series The Killing, which aired on August 4, 2013, as the first of a two-part season finale.

In the episode, Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) are called to another case, which has similarities to the recently solved one.

After a morning jog, Linden returns home to find James Skinner (Elias Koteas) sitting on her front step.

They bond over Bullet and Kallie, and Danette offers to style Lyric's hair for free.

Skinner tells Linden that the district attorney is formally pressing charges against Joe Mills.

On the same bridge from which Kallie peered earlier, Danette closes her eyes and counts as playing hide-and-seek, hoping her daughter will arrive.

The coroner tells Holder and Linden that the female victim was shot and killed, execution style, within 24 hours.

Holder doesn't think Mills is the killer and says Linden would cause another innocent man to die in prison.

They speak with the Brigitte's father, Damon (Paul Jarrett), who talks about his daughter being a drug addict.

Outside, Holder and Linden discuss how Reddick is involved in all the murders, including Trisha Seward, when she spots a nearby tree house.

She gets a map from the car and tells Holder about Ray Seward mentioning constructing a treehouse for Adrian, but not in the city limits.

On the map, she finds the nearest wooded area from the Sewards is close to the pond where the 17 bodies were discovered.

Sean McKenna of TV Fanatic stated, "In a two hours that could have easily dragged and become bloated, [the] season finale of The Killing Season 3 found a way to be compelling, exciting, focused on the characters as much as finishing the case, and providing one heck of an ending.

Club's Phil Dyess-Nugent gave the finale a B+ grade, stating, "The pieces fit, and the revelation that Skinner, the cop who put the wrongly convicted Ray Seward away, was actually covering up his own crimes, alters the story in a way that, if anything, makes more sense, not less.
