Blood Red Herring

Linden and Holder arrive at the gas station near the park. The grumpy attendant says he's the only thing they've got in the vein of security footage. He does remember seeing a black sedan, particularly because the driver high-tailed it off right after a girl screamed. Unfortunately, that's where the trail goes cold with him because he didn't see the driver or the girl. Holder asks why he didn't call the cops, and all the guy can do to contain his grizzled annoyance is to say, "Why would I? He paid." As he staggers off, Linden notices a door in the back of the garage. She realizes that the attendant might have heard the scream from the back of the station, not from the front where the pumps are. She walks to the door and outside, which has a direct pathway to the park three miles away.

The crime scene team arrives. They scour the area, and Linden imagines Rosie's state of mind as she was running from Richmond into the dark, forbidding woods. She wagers it took all night in the cold as Richmond hunted her.

Back in town, Jamie finds Gwen watching campaign coverage. He insists that he didn't know about Richmond's affairs and tells her he respects her for hanging in and doing her job. "How wonderful for me," she says sardonically. He tells her he knows what it's like to feel unappreciated and says Richmond is "complicated." Gwen says she's going to go home, take a bath, get some sleep, then return to do her job. "I'm always good for that, right?"

Larsen moving company. Terry finds Belko packing up his things. She asks him not to leave, telling him Mitch didn't mean what she said to him. Moreover, she apologizes for telling him at the wake that he wasn't part of the family. She asks him to stay, but he is disheartened. He tells her to look around because, "There's no family anymore, everyone's gone."

Back at Richmond and HQ. The councilman shares a single malt with Jamie. They gloat over how well the campaign has recovered from its stumbles. Jamie assures Richmond that Gwen is fine and Richmond promises to make it up to her after the election is over. Jamie gets a somber look in his eyes and asks seriously if there is anything he needs know about. Richmond insists there is no reason to worry.

Out in the park, Linden walks the grid and notes tire tracks along the fire road to her left. She then looks right and sees a seemingly endless expanse of woods. Holder approaches and she tells him to mobilize the crew in that patch of woods.
