My Lucky Day (The Killing)
"My Lucky Day" is the fifteenth episode of the American television drama series The Killing, which aired on April 1, 2012 as the second half of a two-part second-season premiere. The episode is written by series producers Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin and is directed by Dan Attias. In the episode, Rosie Larsen's bloody backpack is dropped off at the garage's doorstep—a sign to her father Stan that the police arrested the wrong person. Gwen provides more information to Sarah about Richmond and the night he was suspected of killing Rosie. Holder begins to realize that he is a pawn in a bigger conspiracy. Richmond wakes up to learn that he is no longer a suspect but is paralyzed.
Plot
Stan Larsen (Brent Sexton) wakes in the middle of the night to learn that his son Denny (Seth Isaac Johnson) thinks he heard someone outside. Upon investigation near the front door, Stan trips over a pink backpack with the initials "RL". Detective Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) arrives to seal the backpack's contents in evidence bags. Stan confirms that the backpack belongs to his daughter, Rosie. After realizing that the bag was placed outside after a suspect had been arrested, Stan demands protection for his family. Holder does not respond. On the phone, Lt. Michael Oakes (Garry Chalk) orders Holder to bring the backpack to the station immediately and give it to a technician named Stu (Darren Moore). Holder says that evidence in the past had normally been given to Gary, another tech. Oakes stands firm with his order. Holder turns in his own blue backpack. Oakes later tells Holder that forensic results only revealed Rosie's fingerprints on the backpack and insists that he drop the case. Holder ponders his boss' lies and Gil Sloane (Brian Markinson) tells him to stop speculating, adding that any blame on the case belongs to Sarah.

Borrowed Dreams
by: Bobby HelmsYou said you loved me
It all seemed so true
But then so brightly
The dawn came into view
And brought tomorrow
Then you were not there
For I'm a fool who borrows dreams
That get nowhere (that get nowhere)
In the magic of my dreams
(Magic of my dreams)
I had you all to myself
(Had you to myself)
While in reality (in reality)
You're loving someone else
I weep in sorrow
It's more than I can bear
For I'm a fool (I'm a fool)
Who borrows dreams
That get nowhere
(In the magic of my dreams)
(I had you all to my myself)
While in reality
You're loving someone else
I weep in sorrow
It's more than I can bear
For I'm a fool (I'm a fool)
Who borrows dreams
