Grimm (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - Three Coins in a Fuchsbau - full transcript

Where are the detonators?

- Flynn has them.
- I don't have them.

- They're your responsibility.
- Packed them.

Well, I don't see them.

Well, take your head out of your ass.

Wipe your eyes.

How about I blow a hole in your head

and let in some light?

I have an idea.

I kill you both and do this alone.

You looked in the wrong bag.

We have a job to do.

Give me the drill.

Damn, I know this place.

Bought my second engagement ring
from this guy.

Hey, looks like they came
in through the front door

just after he closed for the night.

Find a body?

Oh, yeah.
Samuel Bertram.

- Ah, I was afraid of that.
- He's in the vault.

Probably thought he was safe...
In the safe.

Surveillance tape?

Thieves found the camera,
ripped it out of the wall.

Probably took it with them.

This was a professional job.

Yeah, they knew what they were doing.

Sam was a big-time numismatic.

What is that, some kind of religion?

In a way, yeah.

Coins.

They are not here.

What are you talking about?
They have to be here.

- I don't see them.
- We didn't get them.

They were in the vault.
We got everything in the vault.

Then where the hell are they?

Well, don't look at me.

I am looking at you.

Two years,

six countries, I worked this.

You were in the backseat.

Oh, you're saying I took them?

I'm saying, "empty your pockets."

Both of you.

Empty yours, you son of a bitch.

How do we know you didn't take them?

Shoot me if you're gonna shoot me.

There's nothing in my pockets.

Then they still gotta be there.

Where are you going?

I'm going back.

What are you doing?
I'm going with him.

- You two are not leaving me here alone.
- What if he's got them?

How do I know you two
aren't working together?

Because he just left

and I'm standing here
with you, you moron.

- You really think he has them?
- Well, I don't have them.

Well, maybe that's exactly
what you two want me to think.

He's coming back.

{pub}- Here we go. You got it?
- Yep.

Which one of these stores

has a surveillance camera
covering the street?

There's a bank on the corner.

Start with that, work your way down.

If we're lucky.

You want the footage at the precinct?

Asap.

Damn it, I saw that car.

- What?
- Yeah, the guy we passed

on the street tonight...
He was driving that car.

Can we get the plates?

Hold up.

Most of it.

New York plates.
Long way from home.

They're probably bogus,
but run them anyway.

Yeah, and put out an APB.

Parker.

We get you out of bed for nothing?

If you did, Nick,
I wouldn't be calling.

Don't you wish you hadn't come back?

You killed them.

Ironically, they killed each other.

It was dark.

I thought I saw you in Lisbon.

Yeah, that was my mistake.

The coins aren't here.

Figured that out.

So where are they?

If I knew, you think
I would have come back?

I don't know.

Those coins make people
do a lot of strange things.

Face down on the floor.

Now...

Why don't we start...

With what the hell
are we doing in Portland?

I caught up
with Stanislav in Morocco.

The blast didn't kill him.

Didn't help him much.

But it's not what did him in.
I wasn't sure at first.

I was expecting a pierced lung
or a fatal concussion.

But it appears his system
just completely shut down.

Heart attack?

Nope, but I started digging.

Guess what I found in his stomach.

Dinner.

If you like to eat money.

I prefer to spend it.

I guess he was really trying
to take it with him.

Flip side's kind of interesting.

- It's got to be German.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it looks older than that.

Must be valuable
if he swallowed them.

- Hmm.
- Is that what killed him?

His brain, stomach, and
intestines were all inflamed.

But gold doesn't usually get
that kind of allergic reaction.

Could it have been a drug reaction?

Tox isn't back yet.

- Hey, what are you doing?
- Taking them.

But I think I should hold on
to those until the toxicology...

It is still evidence.

Could be why they blew the vault.

Burkhardt.

Where?

Okay.

They found the BMW.

But guys...

Guys?

- What do we got?
- Where is it?

BMW's in front.
Only house on the block.

- Anybody go in or out?
- No.

All right, come on.
Let's get this done.

All right, you cover the back.

Hey, you okay?

Never better.

Soledad, if the jeweler's
got the coins,

then where are they?

If I knew that, I wouldn't be here.

That's why I went back.

But the cops were all over the place.

Police.

Stop!
Police!

Hey!
Don't you move!

Hank, come on.

He's got a gun.

Hey, easy, he's down.

Stay down!

All right, hands above
your head, come on.

There was another one.

- What happened?
- He was fast.

I've never seen anyone run like that.

No, you lost him.

- Don't make excuses.
- Hank.

Do I have to do everything myself?

Listen, Hank.

We got a crime scene here.

He's gone, let him go.

All right, Officer Brenner,
get a coroner up here.

On your feet.

Let's go.

Dispatch, we need a,
uh, coroner at...

{pub}Rest in peace!

All right, let's get
these coins into evidence.

Hey, don't worry.
I got it.

But first, I'm gonna break that guy.

I just got the prelim
on the jewelry store.

I want you guys
to fill me in in my office.

That's when we got
the call on the car.

We ran it down

and came on the house
they were using as a hideout.

Uh, captain,
there were these coins...

Look, I got it, I got it.

So we got to the house, we went
right in, and I took him down.

Two bodies on the floor,
one guy got away and...

Hank, slow down, I want
to hear more about these coins.

I got them.

I'm gonna put them in evidence.

Well, can I see them?

Why?
They're safe.

Parker pulled them
from the jeweler's stomach.

Uh, apparently he swallowed them...

Coins are not the problem here.

It's about that guy we took down.

Just give me five minutes with him...

Hank.

I want to see the coins.

They're, uh... German.

Not necessarily.

The swastika dates all the way
back to antiquity.

In Buddhism and Hinduism, it's
primarily a symbol of good luck.

And for the Chinese,
this represents eternity.

What do you know about the coins?

Just that the jeweler

was trying to hide them
in his stomach.

- I'll take them into evidence.
- That's all right.

- I'll get them there.
- Captain, I think I should...

Detective, now I understand that you

came on a little strong
tonight with our suspect.

We've all had a long day.

I suggest you go home,

get yourself a little rest.

Nick will interview the suspect.

Yes, sir.

Hank, let's go.

The hell's wrong with the captain?

I'm the one who should
put those coins into evidence.

- I'm the primary on this.
- Hank, look.

We've all had a long day here.

Why don't you just go home?

Hank?

Go.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Oui?

Farley Kolt.

Imagine my surprise.

I thought you were just a cop.

Right now, that's all
you need to worry about.

I'm not worried.
Ballistics will prove

that Flynn and Hans shot each other.

- Flynn and Hans.
- Ian Flynn.

Irish by way of Berlin.

Hans Roth, Austrian.

They both worked with
a Spaniard, Soledad Marquesa.

- Who got away.
- Yep.

Been following them for a long time.

Finally caught up with them tonight,

but, uh...

And why were you following them?

It would be helpful
if we could talk off the record.

- Is this being recorded?
- No.

I want to give you
the chance to come clean.

Look, this has nothing to do
with you being a cop, you know.

Really, I could care less.

This has to do with
who you are and who I am.

You're not the only Grimm
I've ever known.

In fact, the reason I'm here
is because of a Grimm.

Tell me about the coins.

Well, they're priceless.

A lot of people have died

trying to get their hands on them.

Where'd they come from?

That, my friend,
is a long, long story.

Tell me.

Okay.

Eighth century B. C.,
gold was being mined

on the island of Zakynthos
in ancient Greece.

Now certain coins that
were struck from that mine

were stamped with
a swastika on one side,

signifying good fortune,
and a lion's head on the other,

symbolizing wealth and power.

Now this particular lion's head
was the Nemean lion

slain by Heracles, whose fur

was impervious to attacks,

because it was made of gold,

and whose claws were sharper
than mortal swords,

and could cut through armor.

And it would seem,
those who held the coins

possessed a kind of charismatic
influence over other men.

As the Greek empire fell,

the coins found their way
into the Romans' hands.

From Claudius to Caligula to Nero,

the coins had a devastating effect

on whoever possessed them.

From there, the coins made their way

into China and the Han dynasty,

and then they just disappeared
for several centuries

until they resurfaced
in the third Reich.

We all know how that story goes.

So after the defeat of the Nazis,

the coins disappeared again.

Nobody but a small handful of people

knew where the coins were.

Those people were your ancestors.

Grimm are stronger than most

and not so easily affected.

And they have taken great care
to protect the coins.

And they've been successful
at it until 18 years ago,

when the Grimm who was
protecting the coins

was found and murdered.

Once again, the coins
were in circulation.

Who was the Grimm who was killed?

She was the sister
of the woman I was in love with.

When her sister died, she left me

in order to raise her sister's son.

Where was this?

Rhine beck, New York.

Don't keep me locked up here.

I can see things you can't.

Impressive.

That's not enough
to get you released.

You need my help to find those coins.

Cause once those coins
get hold of you,

you will fight
to the death to keep them.

Officer Brenner never reported back

from the crime scene,

and he's not responding to calls.

- You tell the captain?
- Yeah, just did.

Where is he?

On his way to evidence.

I got a positive I.D.
On the suspect who got away.

Soledad Marquesa,
he's a Spanish national.

I'll run it.

Oh, jeez.

Oh, my God.

You scared me.

Good.

{pub}This is way past
my bedtime, you know.

Well, if I could speak German,
I wouldn't have called.

Oh, so we've got a little
Deutschmark-Schwinger, do we?

I think the answer to that is "yes."

- Really?
- Go for it.

Wow.

Okay.

Let's see what we got here.

Steiner and schade.

Oh, this is high German.

This is the stuff
my grandfather used to speak

after a couple of beers.

Auf dem weg von munchen nach augsburg

fand ich am waldrand
ein kleines feuerlein vor.

"On our way from Munich to augsburg,

I came across a small fire
a little ways into the woods."

Ooh, these are some
pretty bad schakal this, uh...

Relative of yours is writing about.

Whoa, look out.

They ate a baby.

That's rude.

Okay, okay, here we go.

So he caught up with the schakal

and of course, cut off his head.

Indem er eine
axt niedergeschlagen hat.

You guys are really
into that, aren't you?

Okay, is there any indication
of what I'm up against

with these schakals?

Well, yeah, they're
baby-eating badasses, man.

What more do you need to know?

So what about the, um...
Steinadlers?

Steinadler, let's see.

- Huh.
- What?

Just a second, this is interesting.

Steinadlers seem to be involved
with the military.

Like, heroic, noble...

Apparently with
very large... sausages?

I don't think I'm translating
that correctly.

Um, but anyway, when you're
dealing with the Steinadler,

it's, um... basically
what they're saying is,

it's hard to tell whose side he's on.

So they can't be trusted.

No, it's not that exactly.

It's more like a, um...

Like trust your gut.

But the thing that
really doesn't add up

is a Steinadler with a schakal.

They're like
opposite sides of a coin.

Well, it's funny
you should mention that.

There was a jewelry store robbery

involving some rare coins,

with a swastika on one side,
lion's head on the other.

- You know anything about that?
- Nope.

You got me on that one.

Coins?
Not my thing.

Now, stamps, on the other hand,

- I'm a whiz...
- Well...

Dealing with coins here.

Well, I got nothing.

Anything else
you want me to translate?

No.
Thank you.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Sorry.
- Careful now.

Oh, my God.

Is that camera an Akeley?

Be careful.

Where did you get this?

Oh, right.
Aunt Marie, of course.

No way.

Dude, that is a Kineclair projector.

How do you know all this?

Okay, my great Uncle
on my mother's side, Olaf...

That's my Uncle's name,
not my mother's...

He worked as a newsreel cameraman

in Berlin in the '20s.

He had a camera shop
on the Leitung Strasse,

so when he died, my mother
got all of his old stuff,

and... right.

Sorry.
It's late.

I should be going.

Look, I appreciate all your help.

Yeah, yeah, no problem.

I... it's just, you got me thinking.

I gotta find those old cameras, man.

I'm gonna be up all night

rummaging through the attic.
All right.

Bisspater, alligator.

Bis spater.

We arrested a guy tonight,

and during the interview,

he said something pretty weird.

What did he say?

He said he knew someone
from Rhinebeck.

Rhinebeck, New York,
where you were born?

Yeah.

He said he was with a woman
18 years ago,

but she left him when her sister
died in an accident.

And she left him to take care
of her sister's kid.

Wait a minute.

Was he talking about your Aunt Marie?

- I don't know.
- You didn't ask?

Look, I couldn't.

You know, it's a
police investigation.

I can't bring
my personal life into it.

He could use it against me,

and I don't even know
if he's telling me the truth.

Well, how do you find out?

I have to do some digging.

Okay.

How can I help?

All right, so his name
is Farley Kolt.

And I want to know if he
was living in Rhinebeck

when he said he was.

Why did you cut him open?

To determine the cause of death.

What did you find out?

Only tell me if you want to live.

He was poisoned.

- The coins.
- Oh! Oh!

You found the coins.
Where are they?

I... the police took them.

When?

A few hours ago.

What are you gonna do?

{pub}I swear I don't know what happened.

I promise.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Guilty.

I don't know what came
over me last night.

I go to the edge sometimes,

but I almost never go over.

Happens.

What do we got?

We got an I.D. On the other
set of prints from the house.

Soledad Marquesa.

The guy who got away last night.

Yeah. Pretty lengthy
criminal career in Europe.

Known to associate
with our two dead thieves,

- Flynn and Hans.
- What about Kolt?

Well, ballistics
cleared him on the shooting.

But we still don't know
if he was involved in the heist.

I wanna take a closer look
at this guy.

He did have this in his possession.

Hotel deluxe.

Checked in two nights ago.

Well, what are we doing here?

Let's get a warrant.

Yes, sir?

I want you to call a press conference

for 2:00 today.

- Today, sir?
- Here at the precinct.

All officers and personnel
are required to attend.

Yes, sir.

Can I say what it's about?

The present state
of law enforcement in our city.

Thanks.

If we need anything else,
we'll let you know.

Okay.

I got a suitcase.

You find anything?

Couple of Armani suits,

two pair of Mephisto shoes,

and a pair of commando boots.

You know, I found some
black clothing in the dresser.

- You thinking black ops?
- I don't know.

But he was pretty cool
under the interrogation.

Who wants to bet he's moving drugs?

Huh, what do you know?

There's actually film in there.

Hmm.

1943?

This letter's in German.

Any idea what streng geheim means?

I imagine "top secret,"
like this one in English,

dated June, 1945.

O.S.S.

Office of strategic services.

That's a precursor to the c.I.A.

I knew there was something
freaky about this guy.

Who signed that?

W. Donovan.

"This letter will serve
as background information

"relevant to the discovery
of the imperial coins

"by the 101st airborne
at the kehlstein haus.

"April, 1945.

"Ten coins were thought to exist,

"three in a lead-lined box
were discovered here.

"They are being relocated
to allied headquarters

"under guard to be placed in a vault.

"Emission spectro
chemical analysis has revealed

"that the coins contain gold,
arsenic, and Mercury.

"Because of their toxicity,
under no circumstances

are the coins to be handled."

Now they tell me.

You really think those coins

could actually physically
affect somebody?

You were pretty edgy last night.

It was weird.

I was pumped, posessed.

It was like a...
Like a man on fire.

And the captain took the coins.

He said he was going
to take them to evidence.

I hope he did.

Griffin.

What?

When did that happen?

Yeah, okay.

Parker was put in the hospital.

She was pistol whipped last night.

Apparently whoever did it

was interested in our dead jeweler.

Soledad Marquesa.

- He's going after the coins.
- All right.

You wanna finish up here,
I'll see about Parker?

Yeah, I'll get the docs translated,

and look after the coins.

Sorry, Burkhardt.

Gotta lock up and kick you out.

Why?

Captain's giving some kind of speech.

We all gotta be there.

Did you find
what you were looking for?

No.

Hey, are you sure the captain
didn't bring anything

into evidence last night?

If he did, it's not in the log.

Come on, we gotta go.

The war against crime
and criminal behavior

cannot be waged without hating...

- What's going on?
- I have no idea.

The elements of our society

which allow that enemy to exist.

We are confronted with
an epidemic of moral degradation

and we must fight
with the greatest vigor

against all those influences
which are trying to weaken

the very fabric of our society.

- We stand here...
- You find the coins?

United in our mission
to bring every...

They were never recorded as evidence.

No matter how big or small.

Our dedication to this task
knows no boundaries.

With the brutal death
two nights ago of Sam Bertram,

a successful jeweler and
business owner here in our city

for over 35 years,

that line has been crossed,

and I for one will not rest

until we bring justice
to every last citizen

who has ever had the misfortune
of being terrorized

in their streets
and in their businesses

and in their homes

it ends here, and it ends now.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you.

{pub}Captain Kolt,

is this speech intended
to launch a political career?

Well, it's intended to be a warning

to anyone who plans on breaking
the law in our city.

Sir, the coins.

They're not in the evidence room.

- I'm busy.
- Captain...

He's lying.
He's got 'em.

We have to get 'em back.

Hey.

So I found out some interesting stuff

about Farley Kolt.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

According to real estate
records and phone books,

he spent five years in Rhinebeck...

Same exact time you were there...

And seems to have left around 1994.

The same year my parents died.

Exactly.

- You want me to get more?
- Yeah.

Thanks, Juliette.
You're the best.

I know.

Hey, what's that
about your parents dying?

I don't know yet.

Hey, keep an eye on the captain.

I'm gonna go talk to Kolt.

Got it.

What was the name
of the woman you knew

in Rhinebeck, New York?

So you checked my story.

- Good.
- What was her name?

Marie Kessler.
Why?

How well did you know her?

We were engaged.

Can't say either side
of the family was too happy.

You know her.

She was my Aunt.

You were the kid she had to raise

that I didn't know.

And she's dead, isn't she?

How long ago?

Four months.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could've seen her
just one more time.

Yeah, well, me too.

Still trying to figure out
if you can trust me?

Something like that.

Look, I can help you.

Soledad will make his move
if he hasn't already.

He got the coins at one time.

18 years ago, outside Rhinebeck,
highway 9g.

Soledad killed my parents?

He was one of the many involved.

My point is, he got the coins.

Or should I say, the coins got him.

Yeah?

They found Officer Brenner's
body in a motel room.

Somebody stripped his uniform.

Well, that's something that
I can't answer at this point.

Captain's leaving.
You better get up here.

Soledad killed a police officer

and took his uniform.

Then he's here.
Get me out.

And we will make changes,
and they will have an effect.

Thank you, that's it for today.

I've got a meeting with the mayor.

- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.

- You won't find the coins here.
- Where's the captain?

He just left.

What's he doing here?

Ballistics cleared him.

He knows Soledad
and he can help us find him.

Let's go.

He's here.

Stay here.

Captain!

Police!
Put down your gun!

Ow!

Stay down, stay down.

Are you all right?
Are you hit?

Ooh!

Listen to me.

Two people were killed
in Rhinebeck, New York,

18 years ago,
Reed and Kelly Burkhardt.

- You were involved.
- Please.

Tell me what happened.

Please, let me hold the coins
one more time.

Tell me.

Tell me!

I'll go check on the captain.

No, no, no.

No, Nick, I can't.
No...

You have to help me find them.
Nick, I can't find them.

Nick, who took them?

Who took them, Nick?

I was hoping you'd come back
for the briefcase.

Put the coins on the bed.

Okay, hold on a second.
Look, you don't understand.

I do understand.
Put the coins on the bed.

No.

Ugh!

You'll never find them again.

Forget about them.

Oh, I've tried.

Try harder.
