"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. The episode is written by Eliza Clark and directed by Phil Abraham. 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. Holder suspects a cop has committed all the murders. They find clues which cause Linden to deduce that Adrian Seward was the target in 2009 and not his mother, as Adrian is followed home by a car whose driver he recognizes.
After a morning jog, Linden returns home to find James Skinner (Elias Koteas) sitting on her front step. He tells her that his wife asked him to leave and he thinks his marriage is over. He has lied to his family about his work to spare them the atrocities of the case. When he suggests to Linden that people like the two of them are supposed to be alone, she kisses him.
Holder attends Bullet's funeral. Danette (Amy Seimetz) sits beside him. She tells him about relating to Bullet the hide-and-seek game that she played with Kallie. He tells her that Bullet tried to protect Kallie as best she could. He leaves and she sees Lyric (Julia Sarah Stone) sitting up front. Holder goes to apologize to Caroline (Jewel Staite) for their argument. They compare their levels of dating and she considers him better than her usual lawyer dates. He gets called away to the next case.
At the prison, Evan Henderson (Aaron Douglas) packs up Ray Seward's belongings. He talks with Francis Becker (Hugh Dillon), who appears to be cleaning out his locker. Becker states that he has too much going on at home and has decided to retire and take his pension. He cautions him about becoming a "prisoner" to his job. Henderson thinks he will be fine.
Holder arrives at a crime scene of a burned-out car with a body inside it. Linden explains the details — unknown gender of the body with two shell casings near it.
