Alice Vaughn runs the best private investigative firm in town. Her clients are high rollers, the one percent of the one percent – at least to judge by the swank offices and her posh penthouse suite. She’s engaged to be married to a handsome, charming guy – but when he suggests they elope, she discovers he’s not what he seems to be. And now she has to catch him.

If you missed out on the series premiere of AMC’s The Killing [Sundays, 10/9C], you can now view the two hour debut online, or on AMC, this evening, at 8/7C [followed immediately by episode three].
