"Seventeen" is the twenty-ninth episode of the American television drama series The Killing, which aired on June 9, 2013. The episode is written by Eliza Clark and is directed by Kari Skogland. In the episode, James Skinner (Elias Koteas) creates a task force after Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) discovers 17 dead bodies in a pond. Bullet (Bex Taylor-Klaus) points Detectives Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and Reddick (Gregg Henry) to a new suspect. Ray Seward (Peter Sarsgaard) is slipped a hidden razor blade in prison.
After Linden finds the pond containing decomposed bodies, Skinner debriefs a task force at the station: 17 bodies were found encased in biohazard bags, throats slashed or heads severed, all female teenagers. Ashley Kwon is confirmed as having likely been killed by the same person. Skinner presumes the killer may hold victims for several days before killing them. Holder mentions teenager Kallie Leeds (Cate Sproule) has recently gone missing. In Skinner's office, Linden suggests a connection to the Trisha Seward case. Skinner gives Linden a badge, welcoming her back, but is hesitant about re-opening the Seward case. In prison, Seward showers next to Alton (James Lewis), who asks about an "A" tattoo on Seward's chest. Becker (Hugh Dillon) says it's for Adrian (Rowan Longworth), Seward's son. Seward finds a razor blade planted in his soap and hides it inside his mouth.
Lyric (Julia Sarah Stone) services cab driver Joe Mills (Ryan Robbins), who mentions the news about the dead bodies and urges her to be careful. On a stakeout, Reddick and Holder question the driver of an arriving car, as well as the teenage girl with him. The girl doesn't know Kallie but suggests they look for Bullet on an overpass. They find Bullet there, and Holder tells her they're looking for Kallie. Bullet says she heard a woman crying at Goldie's apartment but warns that Goldie (Brendan Fletcher) has a big knife. After busting into Goldie's apartment, Holder and Reddick find a television playing pornography showing a girl crying. Goldie tries to sneak out behind them, but Holder tackles him. At the station, Goldie admits to distributing child pornography and demands a lawyer when asked about Kallie.
