Linder ended up as expected. Speaking of which, last week's timing on the chief's "Think Harder, Audience!" speech happened like clockwork, as we got our first reversal this week.
I'm just about ready to dock the show points for making The Bridge "Killer" so obviously Tim Cooper (the tech guy). Sure, he was one of the few candidates in the pilot, and the only one with the only confirmed superpower the "Killer" has (knowledge of surveillance systems). But then this episode removed all doubt, by regulating the search for Maria (to ensure she doesn't actually die), and having him exit stage left with Maria (both to get her story straight and allow him to knock out Marco later). I almost hope I am completely wrong, because I don't want to grind through the rest of the season's obvious scenes (the cartel kills Sonya's hookup, but they think its Marco's kid who did it!) just to get to what was obvious after episode two.
