Grimm (2011–2017): Season 1, Episode 7 - Let Your Hair Down - full transcript

A drug trafficker was murdered without apparent motive deep in the forest. Helped by unusually enthusiastic Monroe, Nick soon works out the killer must be a feral and after tracing her it's a girl. Then follows traces indicating she may be a long-missing child having nearly grown up in the woods, and suggesting a link with recluse tracker James Addison, but there are others involved.

It's up this way.

How much farther?

2.34 miles to the lake.

That means we've gone 9.7.

When do you wanna stop for food?

I don't wanna stop
until we're naked in that lake.

[Laughter]

You'd better have a fire going for me

before I step foot in that lake.

I'll have a fire going all right.

Mmm.

Get down on the ground!

Oh, my God.

Get down on the ground!

No!

Oh, my God!

Please, please, please!

Please don't shoot.

We were just hiking to Shining Lake.

Never heard of it.

People know that we're out here, man.

It's too bad for them
if they come looking for you.

What are you gonna do?

Once I figure out
if you're cops or not,

then I'll decide.

We're not cops, we own a doggie wash!

So you'll let us go?

I got $3 million dollars
growing up here.

- No, no, please don't!
- No! No! No!

- It's nothing personal.
- Please don't!

Please don't! Please don't!
Oh, God! Oh, God!

[Branches snapping]

- Please, please!
- [Crying]

[Growl, gunshots]

[Both crying]

[Growling, snarling]

Dustin.

- Okay.
- Cut the rope.

Okay, okay.

[Growling, roaring]

Come on.

Run!

Ooh, that is one broken neck.

And those abrasions,
they probably used

a pretty hefty rope.

Well, at do you know?
It's Delmar Blake.

We've been looking for him
for three years.

What did he do?

Just about everything.

We knew he was moving drugs,
we just didn't realize

he was growing them.

Hair?

Obviously not his.

Think he's got a girlfriend
around here?

Maybe.

Got anything for us?

Yeah, it's kinda weird,
there's not a bit of food left.

No sleeping bag, no blankets.

Got millions of dollars worth
of marijuana plants out there

and not one of them was taken.

You're saying somebody
killed him for his supplies?

That's what it looks like.

Somebody got their
priorities screwed up.

Maybe we're talking Bigfoot.

I don't think Bigfoot
would fit in the sleeping bag.

I'm gonna go talk to the DEA guys.

All right.

Yeah, it used to be
nice and pristine up here,

before the damn drug dealers moved in.

We've had a lot of campsites raided.

Food, clothing, you name it.

So you ever see anything
like this before?

Someone kills the grower
but leaves all of the plants?

No.

Look, all I know is someone
made our life a little easier,

all right?

One less scumbag in the world.

Now we're gonna move the body
if you're done with it.

I'm gonna take another look.

I got this.

[Growls]

He was gonna kill us or something,

and he just walked off.

And we heard a gunshot
and then it sounded like

somebody was being choked.

You see anybody else?

No.

- You hear anything else?
- Yes.

Some... thing came into the camp

and started knocking stuff over.

We don't know what it was,
we just saw shadows.

And heard something, like a growl.

It took us forever to get free,

and then we just ran.

- You never saw his body?
- No.

But whatever it was,

it saved our lives.

The FBI confirmed
the identity of Delmar Blake.

Lab confirmed the hair
we found on his neck

and on the tree are not Blake's.

- Is it one of the hiker's?
- We don't know.

We're testing DNA
and we've got samples of hair

both the hikers.

You're sure they
had nothing to do with it?

We ran a background check, no priors.

They run a doggie wash in Beaverton.

Hm.

Nothing indicated they'd have anything

to do Blake or drugs.

So, what is it?

Another drug dealer
getting rid of the competition?

They would have taken his plants.

Who kills a pot grower
in the middle of the woods

for a sleeping bag and some food?

Somebody hungry and cold.

Hey.

So I got a couple knuckle-draggers here

demanding to see
their brother's body.

That upstanding citizen Delmar Blake

apparently has family.

Detectives Burkhardt and Griffin.

How can we help you guy?

Are you the ones
that found our brother?

We're the ones investigating
the death of Delmar Blake.

- Do you two have I.D.S?
- Why?

What'd we do?

Before we divulge any information,

we have to know who we're talking to.

How'd he die?

Gun, knife, beaten to death?

We're still trying to determine that.

Well, you can't tell by looking at hi

we wanna see the body.

Well it's at the morgue.

Doesn't change what I said.

Then you'll have to meet us there.

Well, let's get it done.

There's a chick magnet
if I ever saw one.

Why'd you cut him open?

To determine the cause of death.

It's a homicide investigation.

He was strangled,
even I could see that.

Did you know your brother
was involved with illegal

cultivation of
a controlled substance?

I don't care what he was doing,

I wanna know who killed him.

And maybe do something about it?

Pfft, a lot more
than you're gonna do.

You should let us do our jobs

before you become our jobs.

Don't you feel that cold air in here?

It's bad for the body
when it gets too hot.

He's just talking.

Now we're leaving.

Who you see in those two?

Priors.

Let's see if you pinned
the tail on those donkeys.

Assault, disturbing
the ace, tax fraud,

and dealing in stolen goods.

No drug charges.

They weren't involved with their brother.

Any outstanding warrants?

Disappointingly, no.

I guess they just
haven't been caught lately.

Mm.

Hold on to your...
Whatever you hold on to.

You're not gonna believe this.

We just got the lab report back
on the brunette hair

you found at the scene.

Mm-hm.

Holly Clark?

You sure?

We got a preliminary match.

They're running the tests again
to make sure.

One of the more
depressing cases I ever worked.

Little girl, playing
in h mother's back yard

just vanished, massive search
turned up nothing.

Seven years old.

She's been missing for nine years.

She was adopted and her birth mother

was a drug addict.

No one was ever charged.

She'd be 15, 16 years old.

What, this girl's out in the woods,

living with a drug dealer
all these years?

We'd better lock down
her identity before we start

banging drums on this.

How much you got on this case?

Boxes and boxes of files,
you want them brought up?

Yes, I wanna see everything.

Better make some room.

[Sighs]

Looks like it's gonna be
a dine-at-desk night.

I'll see if I can find out
if Blake is in any way

connected to the girl or her family,

and where he was the night
she was abducted.

Oh, Nick.
Um, is this important?

'Cause I'm right in the middle of...

- Yeah, it is.
- No, no, no.

Whoa...

I mean, you really like Christmas.

OK, it's a long tradition
in my family.

And, um, well...
While you're here,

you might as well help.

Here.
Hang on to that.

And don't mess with that.

That Ian antique, 1935, pre-war.

Wait till you see these babies run.

Look, I need to show you something.

Yeah, yeah, just a sec.

Here, hand me the caboose.

Now just step back from the tracks.

[Sighs]

[Toy train whistles]

What do you think?

I think you have too much time

on your hands, Monroe.

[Chuckles]

Juliette and I don't even
have a light up yet.

You should see me in my Santa suit.

Yeah.
A Blutbad as Santa.

Hey, I'm pretty good, but it's true.

I'm no Gefrieren Geber.

[Toy train powers down]

Wait a minute.

You telling me that Santa Claus is...

Well, think about it.

I mean, who else could live up there?

Huh.
[Scoffs]

You want an eggnog?
I make it from scratch.

No, no, no, no.

I want you to tell me
if she could be a Blutbad.

I can't tell
what she is from a photo.

Well, if she is something like you...

Could she survive by herself
in the woods for nine years?

Well, if she wasn't, definitely not.

What, is she lost or something?

No, there's a possibility
she was abducted

nine years ago at the age of seven.

Wow.

And you think she's been living
in the woods for nine years?

Yeah, we have evidence it was her.

Well, I mean, if she was
only seven years old,

you know, society hasn't had
that much influence on her,

so she'd still be a wild child.

Her instincts would
be working full-time.

So, you know,
she'd have a decent chance.

I'm not sure I'd wanna
run into her now though.

All right, she was adopted
at a very young age.

I don't know if her adoptive
parents were Blutbaden.

- Could that be a problem?
- Yeah.

I mean, she'd have no one
who understood

what she was going through.

Did you know you were Blutbad
when you were born?

[Sighs]

Let me put it this way.

The first time you feel
the surge and you fang out...

It is pretty weird.

I bit through my lip.

I ripped my pants.

It scared the crap out of me.

So are you telling me
there's a possibility

that she does not know
who she is, I mean,

if she didn't have parents
that understood?

Definitely.
Yeah.

I mean, that could be why she never

came out of the woods.

I'm going back out there
and I want you to come with me.

How did I know
you were gonna say that?

Monroe, if she is something like you,

I cannot risk someone else's life

taking them out there.

Apparently you're willing to risk mine.

You're like her.
You could understander

look, even if she accepts me,

I haven't been living
in the woods for nine years.

I'd be no match
for something like that.

I think she might be wounded.

That doesn't make it better.

Well, I'm going back out there.

Not at night.

Tomorrow morning.

We better be prepared.

Yore full of it.

- Dude, I'm telling you.
- No way.

I saw him with my own two eyes.

- Here in Portland?
- They don't really exist.

I was in his house.

- You were in a Grimm's house?
- Yes.

If that's true,
how come he didn't kill you?

'Cause I got the hell
outta there, that's why.

OK, so where does he live,

Mr. I-saw-Grimm-and-
lived-to-tell-about-it?

50 bucks says
you're full of tree sap.

Hey, buddy.

Got the time- 9:06.

Unh!

Oh, man, oh, man, that's him!

That's him... get down!

Get down!
Get down lower!

[Car engine starting]
Go!

[Car tires squealing]

Can you imagine losing
your child like that?

No, I can't.

Kind of hard to believe a little girl

could survive out there
all these years.

I guess so.

I studied feral child syndrome

in one of my psychology classes.

Most are cases of child abuse.

The whole "raised by wolves" thing

was never really proven.

Well, that's why we're
being extra cautious

about this.

Have you told the parents yet?

Not yet.

This is one of those times
I do not envy your job.

Mmm.

You realize you're gonna be
opening up old wounds.

I know, I lived through it.

That's why we have to be 110% sure.

And we need to keep a low profile.

I can't sit on this forever.

I give you 24 hours
to find something definitive.

How do you wanna do this?

We're gonna split up.

I'm gonna see if I can track
down the adoptive parents

and see if anybody,
maybe a family member,

could have taken holly
into those woods.

And you?

I'm going back out to the crime scene.

See if I can find any
other evidence of Holly.

Taking anyone with you?

Not if we wanna
keep this low profile.

What about other
drug dealers in the area?

Well, if there were,
DEA sent them all running

when they mopped up the area.

They found the guy
they were looking for.

The rest is up to us.

Okay, you take whatever you need.

Any hard evidence
comeback to me first.

Yes, sir.

This is where I found his body.

Weird vibes out here.

His gun was pointing this way.

But I found some buckshot right here.

And some strands of hair.

Where'd you see her?

Well, I saw something over this way.

And I followed it.

It was in here that I saw it.

Will you stop saying it?

All I know is that it was a
Blutbad and it had long hair.

You got something.

Just give me a second, OK?

- What is it?
- Burdock root.

I haven't seen this stuff
since I was a kid in scouts.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, it's a pain-killer.

It's like aspirin, you chew on the root.

It's also a fine diuretic.

But I digress.

Yeah, we should gear up.

This is gonna take a while.

What are you actually smelling?

Hell if I know.

I just get the scent, you know.

It's not a moose, it's not a bear,

it's not a deer.

- We have our own unique bouquet.
- Huh.

Here we go.

A Knochen Hof.

Let me guess, bone yard?

Literally speaking, yes.

But there's a spiritual meaning.

We've taken a life to sustain life.

And the sacrifice has to be honored.

You know, before digestion begins.

Ooh.
[Sniffs deeply]

Whoa.

We're in the right place.

You don't smell that?

She marked territory here.

U mean we're on her property?

There!

[Growls]

[Roars]

[Roars]

[Roars louder]

Holy crap.

That was...

Holy crap.

Don't lose her!

Where'd she go?

[Sniffs deeply]

- We lost her.
- We haven't lost her.

[Sniffs deeply]

She thinks she's lost us.

I can still smell her.

I just don't know
where it's coming from.

I think I know where she is.

That's a hell of a hunting blind.

I think I should probably go first.

Yeah, you got this one.

[Doorbell rings]

- Yes?
- I'm Hank Griffin, Portland pd.

Are you Mrs. Clark?

Yes.

Did you find her body?

No, ma'am.

I don't want to alarm you,
but we're looking into

some new aspects
of holly's disappearance.

Why would you do that?

We're trying to establish
any connection we can

with Tillamook Forest.

Did you or any of your family
ever spend any time up there?

Yeah, we camped out
there a couple times,

but that's about it.

My husband wasn't
really the outdoors type.

We just did it because holly
seemed to enjoy it.

We, uh... we had to borrow
equipment from a neighbor.

I don't even remember
where we camped out, actually.

Why, did you find something up there?

We're just trying to expand
the territory to see if we can

link her disappearance to a suspect.

You have a suspect?

No, ma'am.

As soon as I have
something concrete to tell you,

I will.

[Cries]

But I don't wanna get your hopes up.

You think your husband
can remember where you camped?

I'm sorry, but he
passed away five years ago.

Thank you very much for your time.

If you can think of anything else

that might help us, please call me.

Uh, you said you borrowed
some camping equipment

from a neighbor.

Would they know where you camped?

I mean, he might.

Mr. Addison knew a lot
about that kind of stuff.

But he moved away a long time ago.

Do you remember his first name?

Yeah, Jimmy.

Do you know where he moved?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

You know, I was one
of the officers assigned

to help find her.

I've never forgotten.

Thank you.

[Cell phone dialing]

It's Hank, you know those files
I had you pull?

I'm looking for a
Jimmy or James Addison.

He was a neighbor to the Clarks.

I wanna see if you can find him
so I can talk to him.

Yeah, thanks.

She's here.

She's passed out.

I'm going in.

If she goes for my throat...

Shoot her.

She's gonna need some first aid.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Shhh.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Shh.

She's got a really high fever.

Wow, you're starting
to look like a detective.

I'm starting to feel like one.

I found your Jimmy Addison...

But I also found this.

All the neighbors were
interviewed the day

Holly Clark disappeared.

He had the best alibi.

Where was he?

In the hospital.

Apparently he was bit by a wild dog

while hiking in the woods.

Had a pretty big bite
taken out of him.

Shattered his tibia
and took out a hunk of muscle.

They ever find the dog?

- Nope.
- Anybody with him?

Not according to his statement.

Did he say where he was hiking?

Yep, up near Mt. Hood.

Well, this doesn't make any sense.

He was treated at community hospital

in Beaverton.

If you're hiking near Mt. Hood,

there are closer hospitals
than Beaverton.

He would have had to drive 100
miles to get to that hospital.

Would you drive that far
with your leg like that?

What, are you kidding?
I'd be screaming my head off.

I have a very low tolerance for pain.

So he was never considered a suspect.

How did we miss this?

Well, if he was in the hospital

the day of her disappearance,
it's a pretty damn good alibi.

You got a last known address?

Ready when you are.

She definitely took some buckshot.

Don't make any sudden moves.

Holly.

Holly Clark.

We're here to help you.

Do you understand me?

I am a police officer.

[Growls]

Okay, this is going well.

I think we're experiencing
a bit of a language barrier.

Well, she trusts you.

Yeah, well, let me try
a more direct approach here.

[Growls]

You are Holly Clark.

You're hurt.

He's putting medicine in your wounds.

Holly Clark.

Holly.

Huh.

[Laughs]

I told you everything
I told the police.

I didn't kill your brother.

I'm telling you, there
was someone else out there.

That's just what
I would have told the cops

if I'd killed somebody.

For God sakes, do you really think

that I could have killed our brother?

Well, what do we do with him now?

Keep him here until we
find out if he's lying.

We go back out there
and find whoever did it.

I think we should kill him now.

We can't kill him
until we find out if he's lying.

If he is,

he'll wish we would have killed him

instead of what we're gonna
do to him when we get back.

You have a little time
to mull that over now.

[Shivering, crying]

Well, there's no green thumb here.

Just a sec.
Who is it?

Detective Griffin and Officer Wu.

- What do you want?
- Are you James Addison?

Yes.

What's this about?

Mind if we come in?

Uh...
Well, I was, uh...

This will only take a minute.

[Sighs]
Okay.

Come on in.

Can I ask what this is about?

We've reopened the holly Clark case.

I believe you were a neighbor of hers

when she disappeared?

Oh, that was so terrible.

She was such a sweet little girl.

You lent the Clark family
some camping equipment.

Yes.

Do you remember
where they went camping?

Um, not really.

I guess I suggested a few places.

I don't really remember,
that was a long time ago.

You were injured the same day
she was taken.

[Sighs]
That's right, I was in the hospital.

They talked to me there,

that should have
been in your reports.

Yeah, we're trying
to establish if there was,

any unusual activity
in the neighborhood that day.

We're going back
through all our old interviews

to see if anybody
remembers seeing anything.

Well, I was gone all day,
hiking up in Mt. Hood.

Back when I used to be able to.

I like that area.

I go hiking there a lot.
Whereabouts were you?

I was on my way back
from the Shining Lake.

Hm.
You were by yourself, right?

Yeah, I always hiked alone,
I liked the solitude.

- But just not on that day.
- What do you mean?

Well, you were bitten by a wild dog.

That's what the report said.

Yeah, if you know all this,
why these questions?

Just one more.

Why did you drive
all the way from Mt. Hood

to Beaverton to get treated?

That's 100 miles away.

You could have been treated much closer.

My doctor works out of Beaverton.

And your doctor's name is?

Look, I'm on disability
because of that day

and I really don't
appreciate your tone.

They've never found
any wild dogs up there.

Well, maybe it was a coyote,
I don't know.

I was being attacked.

I didn't stop to consult
my animal guide.

Look, I don't know
what you're trying to do here,

but I've done nothing wrong.

Then you wouldn't mind
coming downtown

to make a formal statement.

[Sighs]

Look, I don't know how much buckshot

she has in her,

but I can't get it all out.

All I can do is
bandage her up for now.

Her fever is worse.

Use some ibuprofen.

Ugh, it's better than nothing, I guess.

Burdock root would be better.

[Cell phone beeps]

What are you doing?

We need some help up here.

You're not gonna get any service
out here.

Yeah, I know, I thought I'd try.

One of us needs to go back.

- You stay here.
- Wait, wait, wait.

I don't think it's such a great idea

to take this girl back
into civilization right now.

We gotta consider the ramifications.

Well, we can't leave her
in the woods.

And what are you gonna do?

Live with her up here
until she's ready to come home?

I don't think she knows
what she even is right now.

She could hurt somebody.

Well, she can
hurt somebody up here too.

Monroe, she already has.

He was trying to kill her, man!

Right now she's the one who's hurt

and I cannot leave her up here.

[Sighs]

This is one of those
"rock and a hard place"

type things, isn't it?

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Oh, you're burning up, kid.

I'm gonna get you some burdock root.

I'll be right back, okay?

I'm gonna take that as a yes.

No.
It's okay.

It's okay, I'm coming right back.

Okay.

[Cell phone dialing]

Where are you?

I found her.

I found holly Clark, she's alive.

Oh, my God.

He found Holly Clark... alive.

Yeah, but she's hurt, man.

I'm gonna need some help out here.

And I've got another problem too.

The Blake brothers are out here.

I'm gonna go on foot to find them.

Oh, one more thing.

Check a name for me.

I found it on a camp stove
where I found her.

What's the name?

The name's Addison.

We found a name on
some camping equipment

where Holly was found.

The name's Addison.

Oh, my God.

Keep her away from me.

She bit me.

She tried to kill me!

No!

Aah!

Unh!

Get down!

[Heavy breathing]

He died here.

[Distant rustling]

Shh.

Wait.

He might not be alone.

We wanna get 'em all.

Okay.

This is burdock root.

You chew on it.

Like this.

Here.

No, no, no, I know, I know.

It tastes like an old tennis shoe.

I mean, not that I've eaten
all that many of them,

but it's good for you.

Okay?

Just nibble on it.

Good.

There you go.
It'll help your fever.

Holly...

Y-yes?

I think everything's
gonna be all right.

You, up there!

Come down here now.

No, no, no, no, no.

Shhh.

Maybe you can't hear us!

[Gunshot]

Okay, take it easy!

[Gunshot]

Okay!

I'm coming down!

Stay here.

I'm coming down!

Shh.

We saw you digging in the woods.

Right near where
our brother was killed.

How long you been living out here?

Guys, we got a
misunderstanding here, okay?

I was on a hike,

and I came across this old place.

What were you digging for?

Well... and thank you for asking.

Uh, it's called burdock root,
it's a medicinal root.

It's good for all kinds...

Why'd you kill our brother?

Remember what I was just
saying about being on a hike?

I could kill you right now
and it might be a mistake,

but I don't think
I'd lose any sleep over it.

[Wood creaking]

There's somebody else up there.

Who is it?

There's nobody else up there.

I'm the only person here.

When I find somebody up there...

You blow his head off.

It's empty.

Wait a minute.

Delmar's sleeping bag...

And his coat are up here.

I'm gonna cut your throat.

Nobody move!

Hey, this is the man
who killed our brother.

He had nothing to do with it.

He's my friend, he came here with me.

Put your weapons on ground now.

You shoot me,

he shoots your friend.

Stay where you are.

[Footsteps approaching]

What was that?

I don't know.
Where?

[Grunts]

[Gunshot]

[Doorbell rings]

I have good news.

We found Holly alive.

What?

Holly, remember, you're not alone.

Holly?

It's okay, Holly.
It's okay.

It's okay.

Come here, baby.

[Cries]

It's okay.

Two days ago,
we made a remarkable discovery.

In the forest just outside the city,

we found Holly Clark,

missing for nine years, but alive.

She's been reunited with her mother

and we have a suspect in custody.

She's pointing at number three.
