"Eminent Domain" is the thirty-second episode of the American television drama series The Killing, which aired on June 30, 2013. The episode is written by David Wiener and is directed by Keith Gordon. In the episode, Detective Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) revisit the Seward case in hopes of finding a connection with the current one. Bullet (Bex Taylor-Klaus) takes Danette Leeds (Amy Seimetz) to Kallie's favorite hangouts. Seward (Peter Sarsgaard) asks to speak to his imprisoned father (Duncan Fraser).
At the police station, Danette demands to see Linden, telling the desk sergeant that Joe Mills (Ryan Robbins) took her daughter. She causes a commotion and gets arrested. At the hospital, Linden and Holder question Angie Gower (Laine MacNeil), the victim found at the vet's office. Angie describes her encounter, adding that she saw his eyes in the rear view mirror but could not see his face. Linden shows her a photo lineup that includes Mills. She cannot identify any of them as her attacker and Linden is frustrated. In the hallway, Holder scolds Linden for pushing the girl too hard. He questions if Mills is the right suspect, after Angie's inability to identify Mills and the lack of evidence connecting Mills with Trisha Seward's murder. Linden argues that fear may have stopped Angie from identifying Mills. Reddick (Gregg Henry) arrives to tell Holder the vet tech didn't see the person who dropped Angie at the clinic. Linden goes to the station to speak with Danette. She tells Danette that Mills has already left the hotel. Danette reminisces about Kallie's childhood and begs Linden to find her.
That night at the prison, Seward hears Alton (James Lewis) tearing sheets in his cell to make a noose. At first, he tries to talk Alton out of committing suicide but can see that Alton has made up his mind. Alton asks Seward not to yell for the guards, and Seward complies, speaking a few encouraging words as Alton hangs himself from his cell window. Henderson (Aaron Douglas) arrives late to work and learns that Becker already left. The cell block has not been monitored. He finds Alton's body and immediately calls for medical assistance.
