The killer becomes 'The Beast'


  • In "The Beast," episode No. 5 of "The Bridge," the killer gets closer to home.
  • >Crossing over: El Paso Detective Cross (Diane Kruger) gets a phone call from the killer; Mexican Detective Ruiz (Demian Bichir) gets kicked out of the house; Galvan (Ramon Franco) laments the killing biz; Linder (Thomas M. Wright) irons out a problem; an El Paso teen is nearly kidnapped in Juárez.

    Body count: Three. Galvan shoots a victim; Linder kills an attacker; the killer, dubbed "The Beast," stabs an FBI shrink.

    "Bridge" too far: We see too much of Linder's beating of Eva's "boyfriend" (and too much of Linder in his skivvies); a knife protrudes from the psych's bloody throat.

    Toll booth: A valley after last week's peak; less suspense, more plot thickening.
