Grimm (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 1 - Pilot - full transcript

Nick Burkhardt, a promising Portland homicide detective, told nobody he's been seeing visions of people 'transforming' into monsters when he looks at them. While investigating the murder ...

Hank... What are you doing?

Testing out the new equipment and getting
a picture of you, while you're young and innocent.

Oh.. I am getting married once, not four times.

- Oh you're a happily ever after guy?
- Yeah.

Detective, what are you looking at?
You just bought a ring.

That's not what I'm looking at.

- C'mon, don't ruin it for me...
- No: She wears Armani,

makes little six figures, drives BMW

and she's falling for a senior partner at her law firm.

- Nothing but a trouble, Hank.
- Why can't you look at her ass like the rest of us?

- I can't.
- C'mon, Nick. We have a call.

The hiker flagged me down.

He came through the revine said..
he saw something pretty bad.

I didn't know what he was talking about...

until he showed me this.

The rest of her is off-trail.

- Well, how do you know it's a 'her'?
- Because of this.

Women's Nike.

- What kind of animal could do this?
- Normally, We'd be able to tell this by the tracks.

- A bear, Couger, a wolf...?
- Well, which one is it?

That's where this gets interesting.

This is the only track we found.

Hey, we got a boot print down here
We are gonna need it tagged!

Right away!

DNA would tell us if,
this is your case or ours.

This sounds like what happened a month ago
at Monson Creek Falls.

- Same deal, a hiker and a bobcat.
- The bobcat wasn't wearing a boot.

- Do you hear something?
- What?

Music.

Hank, we got an iPod over here.

What's this song?

- "Sweet Dreams".
- Eurythmics.

One of their better.

"Sweet dreams are made of this...

Who am I, to disagree?"

I didn't know you can sing.

Until we get the DNA result, I'll run the database,
on violent predators in the area.

You better search beyond the metro.

Absolutely.

We should also take another look
at that Monson's Creek Falls attack.

You'll be busy.
I'll take the iPod down for prints.

Back in a minute.

Sorry, Nick. Guess I should've
worn my air bag today.

We've got twenty-three predators within
five square-miles of the crime scene.

None of them rise to the kind of violence
we saw out there this morning.

Just got a hit on the missing person.

A University student, who went out jogging this morning,
and never came back.

She left at 7:30, this morning.

And I'm a little freaked out,
because she's always back by 8:30.

Do you have a photo of her?

On my iPhone.

You know what kind of running shoes, she was wearing?

A pink Nike's.

Hard to believe,
that's the girl we saw this morning.

Sylvie Oster, positive ID.

Well, at least we know who she is.
Man, what a way to go.

I'm just hoping, it happened fast.

Man, let's get the hell out of here.

Yeah. It's been a long day.

Big night!
Don't blow it, Romeo.

Juliet?

Aunt Marie!

When did you get here?

Hey! She was here when I got home.

Sorry for the short notice.

- What, You didn't know she was coming?
- I meant to call.

Sometimes, I mean to do something
and assume I usually have.

Well? How're you doing?

Not as okay as I used to be.

She was telling me some pretty funny
stories about when you were little.

Dead frog in the microwave?

Among others.

Come and give us a hug!

Here.

We need to talk.

Well, how bad is it?

Two months, two weeks and two days.

Nobody knows.

Well, there are so many things I have to tell you.

Why didn't you come here sooner?

I couldn't.

Why?

Just listen to me.

There are things you don't know...

Things about your family.

My family?

You are my family!

Have you been seeing strange things?

Things that you can't explain?

Oh..I knew it!

This is all happening,
so much faster than I thought it would.

When it happened to me, It knocked me on my ass,
I couldn't move for a week.

What are you talking about?

The misfortune of our family
is already passing to you.

I'm so sorry.

I know you love Juliet ...

but you have to end it ,
and never see her again!

Its just, too dangerous.

What?

Oh, my God!

He is here.

Who?

Holda.

Did you killed him?

Yes.

I thought I lost you.

They're after me.

Never loose this.

Guard it with your life.
They'll be looking for it.

Nick.

Your parents didn't die in a crash.

They were killed.

What?

I didn't see it. What happened,
I just heard gun shot and called 911.

It happened so fast. It came out of nowhere..
he had that thing in his hand,

And he went right for it, Hank.
I had no choice.

Take it easy.

You're going to the hospital and I'll handle this.

She said, she knew him.

His name's Holda.

I'll run his prints.

Do you want me to come with you?

No.

- I'll be home as soon as I can.
- Okay.

Love you.

Mister Burkhardt.

She's concious now.

You saw him, didn't you?

You saw who Holda really was.

I don't know what I saw.

Or how you did that.
What's going on?

We have the ability, to see what no one else can.

When they loose control, they can't hide
and we see them, for what they really are.

Look, You need some rest.

This is no fairytale.

The stories are real.

What they wrote about really happened.

You are one of the last Grimms.

I know it's a lot.

And I wish I had more time,
But everything's in my trailer.

Sweety, there is so much you still don't know.

Look, what you said about my parents?

They're vulnerable now.
You need to be careful.

Don't ever loose what I gave to you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Burkhardt.

You can see her again tomorrow

Hey, Nick.

You get that translated?

Yeah.

It means "Reaper's Of The Grimms".

That fits your buddy Holda.

Wait till you hear what I got on him.

Holda was from Boise, Idaho.
Where he worked as an accountant.

But his prints came back as a
Mr.Lindow, from Chicago,

Wanted for assault, rape and murder.

But there's also warrants for wanted
matching him in Florida and in Alabama.

He's wanted for assault, rape and murder?

Don't let the ...overthrow you,
This was a bad guy!

Hey, Nick.

The Captain wants to see you.

What's he want?

I guess you'll find out.

If you'd to shoot somebody,
You sure picked the right guy.

How're you doing? You holding up?

Yes, Sir.

The first shooting is not a small thing.

You'll be required to see the police psychiatrist.

Yes, Sir.

Make sure you do.

Get some rest.

How long have you been down here?

I couldn't sleep.

What is all this?

I don't know.

I'll uh, deal with it later.

I'm sorry, Let's go back to bed.

How long did you lived with Marie?

- She's my mother from the time I was twelve.
- After your parents died?

Yeah.

You didn't lived in that trailer. Did You?

I didn't know she had it.

Babe it was just a cat.

Yeah.

This is what we're looking for.

If this is an exact match to the boot prints,
this'll be very helpful. Thanks.

Take a look at the lab report.
DNA of the attacker is still inconclusive.

- We still don't know if it's for a man or a beast.
- All we got for a lead is for the boots .

Based on the plaster cast,
this is the boot we are looking for.

She's in a deep coma.

There was a sudden pike in the EKG this morning,
But I don't have anything definitive to tell you.. yet .

Will she come out of this?

No, All we can do is wait.

Did you know about the scars?

- What scars?
- A lot of them look like knife wounds.

There are all over her body.

What line of work was she in?

She's a librarian.

Yeah.

On my way.

I don't understand.
She's supposed to come straight home from school.

And, She never showed up.
I looked all over the neighbourhood, then I came right here.

- Well, you take care of them?
- Sure.

- What do we know?
- A little girl, on the way to her grandfather's house never showed up.

- That's him, the guy with the beard.
- Do we know he's clean?

No, We are looking into that.

It's the best photo they had.

We don't know what we got here. Relative,
ransom, or pedophile. And the clock is ticking.

We'll split into team
sections of the path she'd have taken from the school.

That's a mile and a half,
from the school to the house.

When last seen, she was wearing a purple leggings
and a red sweatshirt.

Make sure you have a copy of the photo and a map.

You all know your section.
So, let's get out there and find out!

- Captain?
- Yeah?

When the university student was attacked,
She was wearing a red shirt.

- The girl who was torned to pieces?
- Yeah.

Let's hope it's not the same guy.

She's supposed to cross Hunterland right there,
around the park to Hildebrand.

The old man's house is on the other side of the park, Right?

Right. 4753, Hildebrand Road.
Directly across from here.

When I was a kid,
I wouldn't have gone all the way around the park.

Well her mother was very specific about the route.

Yeah right, Kid's always do what their mom's telling them to do.
I know I did!

Come on, Nick.

I'll take this trail.

You need to be careful.

They're vulnerable now.

This isn't a fairy tale.

Nick, I got something here.

Robin Howell.

She must've been grapped, somewhere in this area.

Be careful where you step.

We got a crime scene in Berkeley Park.

Yeah, up Hilderbrand.

Hey, we got boot prints over here.
Same kind.

He took it this way.

Hank! I got him!

Where is she?
Where is she???

Look, I know she's in here somewhere.

You got another place to look,
we'll look.

But we've torn this place apart.

- What are we doing here?
- If she's not in there, he's got her someplace else.

What do you see in this guy,
we don't?

He's got no priors. He's clean.

But he fits the profile; He's a loner, he's never been married,
he lives across the street from the park.

That's not gonna get him into a court,
Unless, he sues our asses.

You shouldn't have come back.

Okay, okay, okay.

Lighten up. I'm just making a point.

Come on. Let's grab a bru.

And by the way, you're paying for the window.

You know, I've never seen one of you before.

I've heard about you all my life.
Never thought I'd see one up-close!

A Grimm.

What do you know?

- You know about me?
- Are you kidding?

My folks used to tell me stories about you guys.

Scared the hell out of me,
when I was a kid.

How long you've been at this?
You seem kinda new.

Who are you?

Well..you are new at this. What,
Someone in your family just died?

My aunt's in a coma.

Ah, that explains it!

- What's her name?
- Marie Castler.

Oh, yeah.

I've heard of her.

Look, I don't want any trouble, okay?

Well I'm not that kind of 'blued bott'.
I don't kill anymore, I haven't in years.

Wait.

- What did you say you are?
- Blued bott.

Vulgarized by your ancestors

as "the big bad wolf".
What you just got the books tonight?

You..know about the books?

Of Course, I know about the books.

We all know about the books.

You people started profiling us over 200 years ago!

But as you can see,
I'm not that big.

And I'm done with the bad thing.

- How do you...
- Do I stay good?

Through a strict regiment,
of diet, drugs and pilates.

I'm a reformed blued bott.

A veto blued bott.
It's a different church altogether.

- What, you guys go to church?
- Sure.

Don't you?

What she said,
Is really happening to me.

- I have to stop it. How do I stop it?
- Stop it! You can't stop it!

It's who you are.

So, If you just got into this,
You must be seeing some pretty strange things.

Yeah.

I am.

I guess that's why you're here.

No, b'cos of the little girl.

- You still haven't foun her yet?
- No, We haven't.

Oh fuck this.

You know where she is!

Of course, I don't know where she is!

Did I not just tell you about my strict regiment?

So... how many of you Blued batts are there?

First off, the plural is Blued Bott.

And I don't know... We don't socialise much.
Bad things happen when we get into a pack .

Specially, when we see 'red'.

So all those 'things' I've been seeing...

We are not "things".

Look, I'm a clock maker, for God's sake.
I don't go around abducting little girls.

And then tonight, in your back yard,
You were marking your territory.

I wasn't pissing on my fence for kicks.

Then there are more of you around here.

Look...

You may not know where she is,
but you've got a pretty good idea who's got her.

I don't bother the other Blued bott,
and they don't bother me.

Guess what, pal, I'm not a blued bott
I am a cop.

If you know who's got her,
you better tell me, right now!

- Please, don't threaten me.
- I wanna know who's got her.

Don't be afraid.

Do you like it?

It's all yours.

I just wanna go home.

You are home.

What do you say, we hang this up?

Do you want a Chiken-pot pie?

- I really think, I should drive.
- No, I'm good.

You know, this is the same blued bott
that, that killl that women in the woods.

Well, assuming that he'd fed yesterday,
He'll be good for a week,

Maybe, ten days top.

He's just using the time to fatten her up.

I got a hit.

We are close.

- Did you really smell him?
- Dude...

You have no idea.

Okay...

This is as far as we drive.

- What, he's over there?
- Oh, he's real close.

- What's that?
- Wolfsbane!

- so he won't sense us.
- You're kidding me, right?

Not, If you wanna stay alive.

What are you doing?

You said, he's over there.

Why don't you just call him,
Tell him we are coming? This way!

Isn't this what the bridge is for?

- Sorry.
- Do I need something like a.. silver bullet?

What are you,
An Idiot?

It's his place.

What's happening?

I can't guarantee what'll happen,
If I get any closer.

It's too dangerous.

I might be on your side, I might be on his side.

I might even go after the girl.

I'm sorry, there's nothing more I can do.
I'm outta here!

What?

I found her.

I want to go home.

I told you, You are Home!

Where is he?

He's in a house, on the other side of the stream.

But you've to put some of this on, first.

- What the hell are you doing?
- So he does not smell us.

We are not hunting deer.

Where's back up?

- You are the only one I called.
- What?

I've already cried "Wolf" once,
You think they're gonna believe me?

Come on.

How did you find this place?

The boots.

I couldn't sleep. Driving through this
I got this addres...

- What's his name?
- Who?

The guy we are looking for.

Oh..I forgot.

You do know there is a bridge, right?

You better be right this time buddy.
You saw those boot prints, right?

Yeah. There, by the house.

- Exact match?
- From what I could tell, Yeah.

- Have you run his plates?
- I'm still waiting.

What's the matter? Do you not trust me?

Ok, Let's do this.

Good evening!

Can I help you?

Sorry to disturb you, sir.
I'm Detective Griffin..this is detective Burkhardt.

Do you have a few minutes?

Of course. Would you like to come in?

That will be great.

You can sit in here.

Nice pillows!

I did the needle point, myself.

Not that I tell everyone.

Pot pie is done. Just give me a moment.

And then we can talk, Okay?

- Are you kidding me?
- Hank, I really believe

This is the right guy.!

Excuse me, Sir.

Sorry, it's taking so long.

But, you know how delicate crust are.

What kind of work do you do?

I work for the government, Like you.

I am a postman.
Not the most glamorous job, But I like it.

Where were you between
the hours of two and four today?

On my route.

I'd like to know,
what this is all about.

This little girl went missing today.

That's aweful. You don't think
I had anything to do with this, Do you?

We have to run down any possibility.

What possibility could've let you to me?

We are looking for a pair of boots.

Feel free to look, anywhere you want.

If this guy had something to hide,
He'd have kicked us out.

I'm leaving. I wanna keep my job.

Anything else?

No, Thanks for your time.
We'll se ourselves out.

- Hank, I'm sorry! I really thought this time...
- Wait!

- The song!
- What song?

He was humming the same song,
the one in the dead girl's Ipod.

Hold it!

Where's she?

Where's she?

A Grimm.

She's gotta be in the house.

- Robin!
- Robin!

Robin!

Robin!

She's not here. We're gonna have to call it in.
I'll find the (?) .

Hank!

Hank, She's here!

It's okay , honey. We are the police.

I don't know how you did it, But you did it!

It's okay now. I'm gonna take you home.

There's so much,
I don't understand.

There's so many things I need to ask you.

I love Juliette.
I don't want anything to happen to her.

I want you to know, whatever it is
I'm suppose to do.

I'll do it.

- Is she dead?
- No.

He was there.

That's unfortunate.

We'll have to try again.

Let's hope, she doesn't wake up first.
