Grimm (2011–2017): Season 2, Episode 11 - To Protect and Serve Man - full transcript
Hank's knowledge of Nick's world has him second guessing a past case.
DISPATCHER:
All units, report of a 415,
disturbance in progress,
Pine and
Southeast 57th Avenue.
HANK: Unit 18,
copy, en route.
I Iive here.
There's a terrible fight.
(GUNSHOTS FIRING)
PIease, ma'am,
get back in your house.
Unit 18, request backup!
Police! We're coming in!
GREG: This one's gone.
I've got a pulse.
10-71, 1501 Pine,
in the southeast quadrant.
(FOOTSTEPS POUNDING)
We need an ambulance.
I have two down.
Something's moving.
(PANTING)
Police!
(BARKING)
(GRUNTING)
Stay down.
No, hold on.
You're under arrest. You have
the right to remain silent.
Wait!
Those guys, they're animals!
I'm advising you
to remain silent.
Didn't you see them?
I said, don't move!
What are they?
What the hell are they?
They Iook Iike monsters!
You Iisten...
Don't move.
No, no, no!
Listen to me!
They wanted to eat me!
Don't Iet them get me. No!
They were trying to kill me!
They're monsters.
They were already
out of ?clairs.
Thanks, I'II get
the next one.
Hank,
you already got this one,
which I didn't even get you.
What?
Oh, sorry.
You okay?
Yeah, I guess.
"Yeah, I guess" means no.
I ever tell you about this guy
I arrested seven years ago?
Craig Ferren?
I don't think so.
Shot two brothers,
one died, was a Iocal
councilman or something.
Brothers were unarmed.
Ferren was an Iraq vet,
had some issues,
got sentenced to death.
Okay. What about it?
When I arrested Ferren,
he claimed the two
brothers turned into
some kind of monsters,
tried to attack him.
I have a feeling I
know where this is going.
The guy's claims
were totally outrageous.
There was no evidence
to support anything
he was saying.
I walked into that
house that night,
those two brothers Iooked
pretty damn human.
Anyway, my testimony
helped Iand Ferren
on death row.
And now you have
a new perspective as to
what Ferren said he saw.
Ferren could be
telling the truth, right?
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe he was
just high or drunk.
Maybe he was telling a story
to justify what he'd done.
Or maybe he saw
something that can't
easily be explained.
There's always that.
Look, I need
your help on this one.
You want confirmation.
Well, if it's
a Grimm thing or not,
wouldn't you?
Well, I can't do that
without taking a Iook
at the evidence,
talking to the defendant...
Thanks.
I was hoping
you'd say that.
Craig Ferren is
scheduled to be executed
tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m.
We've got
36 and a half hours.
Ferren not only
claimed that he saw
the Kreski brothers turn
into hideous monsters,
he also claimed
they were cannibals.
And at the time,
it all sounded ridiculous.
Fangs, claws,
Iike he was building
an insanity plea.
Even ifwhat
Ferren saw was real,
believing him is not gonna
get him off death row.
We've gotta find
something concrete,
something that...
The rest of us could believe.
Detective Robert Anderson
worked the Ferren case.
What happened to him?
Works white collar
for the Feds now.
I'II give him a call.
(PHONE RINGING)
Renard.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
No. No,
I haven't forgotten.
I just...
I got pulled away
on some business
at City Hall.
Yeah, I'II be in soon.
ANDERSON: Craig Ferren
shot two innocent,
unarmed men.
AII evidence showed
the crime was premeditated,
and his guilt
was undeniable.
Ferren even admitted
he was the shooter.
No, we're not saying
Ferren didn't do it.
Then what the hell
are you doing?
Some of Ferren's claims
may have been justified.
He may have
been attacked.
You find evidence
the Kreski brothers
had weapons?
No, that's not it.
Then what?
Craig Ferren accused
the Kreski brothers
of being cannibals.
(SCOFFS) We conducted
a thorough search
of the Kreskis' house,
found absolutely nothing.
Did you dig up their yard,
check the rest
of their property?
We interviewed friends,
neighbors, co-workers.
You're talking about two guys
who were Iiked and respected
by everyone in
their community.
And, no, I did not
dig up their damn backyard.
Hank, you're not
responsible for this guy
being on death row.
He's responsible.
Let justice prevail.
Don't get me wrong,
I Iike Nick a Iot.
But you don't Iove him.
I don't know if I
Iove him, I just met...
It feels Iike
I just met him.
So what's wrong with that?
I wish I could re-meet
my husband again.
It's a Iittle bit more
complicated than that.
Complicated?
There's someone else.
No!
"No"?
Really, no?
Like I said,
it's complicated.
So what's
Mr. Complicated's name?
It's not important.
Are you sleeping with him?
No, no.
You're sleeping with Nick.
No! I'm not
sleeping with anybody.
But you have feelings
for this other guy.
I don't understand it.
I barely know
this other guy,
but I can't stop
thinking about him
and it's driving me crazy.
HANK: Monique Dyson?
Detective Burkhardt,
Detective Griffin.
Is this about Craig?
I was the arresting officer.
Can we talk to
you for a moment?
I thought
you Iooked familiar.
What do you want?
I want to try and
help him if I can.
Why?
It's hard to explain,
but some of the cases
we've been working on recently
have given us kind
of a new perspective.
And we want to apply
that to Craig's case
while there's still time.
MONIQUE:
We met at Oregon State.
I was studying marketing.
Craig wanted to be
a mechanical engineer.
He dropped out
to join the Army.
He was very patriotic.
Iraq changed him.
He came back
with terrible headaches,
nightmares.
He could never
sleep through the night.
Wasn't he being
treated for PTSD?
You wanna call it that.
He was prescribed
a bunch of drugs,
which he downed with alcohol.
Though he'd hardly ever been
much of a drinker.
NICK: We know
he was arrested.
DUI, couple of public
drunkenness charges,
got into a few scuffles.
Craig had his issues,
but he wasn't a murderer.
He was just starting to get
his Iife back together when
all this happened.
The prosecution, the media,
they called him
a Ioose cannon,
a ticking time bomb.
That could not be
further from the truth.
It's ironic, isn't it?
That Craig's the one being
portrayed as a monster.
So you believe him.
I'm not inside Craig's head.
I don't know what he saw,
but I believe he saw
what he said he did.
It haunted him.
Still does.
Everyone told him
he was crazy,
so he started to
believe that he was.
He even told me
that he didn't want
to see me anymore.
I just didn't
Iisten to him.
Has anyone else
seen these Ietters?
Yeah,
I represented Craig Ferren
at his murder trial.
Lot of good it did.
I filed every appeal I could,
and every one of them
was rejected.
Unfortunately,
he got the Iegal defense
he could afford.
According to the transcripts,
you only called one
character witness,
Ferren's girlfriend,
Monique?
Guys, she was the only one
that really got
along with him.
What about some of
his army buddies?
Good idea.
So on cross-examination
the jury could
hear about how well
he handled a gun?
What an efficient
killer he was?
I'm a public defender.
I'm not a miracle worker.
I deal with 15 cases a day.
I have no personal Iife.
Can I offer anybody
a tissue?
Did you investigate
any of Ferren's claims?
What, about
the Kreski brothers?
I Iooked into them.
They were clean.
And if they were cannibals,
they must've ate up
all the evidence.
Did Ferren ever
describe to you
what they Iooked Iike
when they were monsters?
He did better than that.
Ferren drew these.
I submitted them
to the judge.
When she stopped Iaughing,
she refused to Iet them be
entered into evidence.
His psych evaluation
said he knew
the difference
between right and wrong.
This could just be
a wild goose chase.
Not a goose,
wild or otherwise.
A Wendigo.
Wendigo?
That doesn't sound German.
It's not.
It's from 1759.
"After the disappearance
of the Magistrate
and his wife,
"I tracked what I believed
to be a Wildermann
through Starksboro
"into the Camel's Hump forest.
"It was there I first heard
of the mythical Wendigo
"from the chieftain
of the AIgonquin tribe
"that had provided me
refuge for the night.
"I soon Iearned
these terrifying
beasts are no myth.
"I came upon
the cave of the Wendigo,
rife with human remains,
"having been
the scene of many murders
and cannibalistic acts."
"Two days Iater,
I encountered
the Wendigo himself.
"His eyes seemed to glow.
"His breath was hideous
with the horrible
stench of burned flesh.
"I made the terrible mistake
of wounding him,
"which only made
him more ferocious.
"I was Iucky to
escape with my Iife
"as I surely would have been
his next dinner guest."
Dahmer was a Wendigo?
Someone in my
family thought so.
Says they usually dig pits
to bury the remains
under houses or in basements.
If this is what Ferren saw,
then it was self-defense.
I think it's time
we talked to Ferren.
(LOCK BUZZING)
INMATE 1: Look up, ya'II.
INMATE 2: Cops!
INMATE 3: What do they want?
I don't wanna know.
Neither do I.
(LOCK BUZZING)
I got nothing
to say to you.
HANK: You don't
have to talk,
but you got 31 hours Ieft,
so what have you got to Iose?
You here to clear
your conscience?
This is my partner,
Nick Burkhardt.
He specializes in
unusual cases.
We might be able to
help you, if you'II Iet us.
(SCOFFS)
Right.
I wanna hear
about what happened
the night you
shot the Kreskis.
Read the transcripts.
I have.
I wanna hear it from you.
It was a mistake.
I didn't see anything.
You didn't see this?
We got it from your Iawyer.
Now, the interesting thing
is it Iooks just Iike this.
It's called a Wendigo.
You're not the only
one who's seen them.
What the hell's
going on here?
We believe you.
It's a Iittle Iate for that.
I'm done here.
The breath smelled
Iike burning flesh,
right?
You claimed the Kreskis
were cannibals.
You see any
evidence of that?
No.
Then why did
you think that?
I was there to fix
their sink, right?
Do the job,
get my money, get out.
They started Iaughing,
Iike they'd been
drinking or something.
I don't know.
Then they said,
"We'd Iove to
have you for dinner."
They started
Iaughing even harder.
I said,
"No, I just want to fix
what needed to be fixed."
And one of them said,
"No, you don't understand.
"We'II be fixing
you for dinner."
I thought
they were crazy.
Then what?
Then I got spooked,
and I tried to Ieave.
And that's when...
That's when you
saw them change.
It was horrible.
Teeth Iike needles.
Twisted Iips. Yellow eyes.
It was a nightmare.
And I fought them off
the best I could.
Somehow I got my gun
out of my toolbox,
and I started shooting.
And then I ran.
But nobody's
going to believe you.
We can't prove to the D.A.
that Ferren shot two Wendigos.
We need to prove
the brothers were killers.
Yeah, which means
we need evidence
of their kills.
In the book,
didn't it say
Wendigos bury
the remains of their
victims where they Iive?
And the defense
never dug up the yard.
Where's the house
the Kreskis Iived in,
when Ferren shot them?
Mill Park.
Man, this neighborhood has
changed a Iot in seven years.
Oh, man.
What?
This is where
Kreskis' house used to be.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Juliette. Hi, it's Sean.
Hi.
Hi.
Um...
Listen, the other night...
Was a huge mistake.
Yeah. Agreed.
But I think it's
a symptom of a much
bigger problem that
we're both experiencing.
Okay.
Look, I don't know
how it is for you,
but for me,
it's just getting
a lot worse.
So I've been thinking about
some possible solutions.
No, the solution is simple.
We never see each
other ever again.
Yeah, I'm not so sure
that's going to work.
Yeah, me neither.
There's someone
who I think might be
able to help us
get through this.
How?
I'm not sure yet,
but would you be
open to trying?
Okay.
There's a shop in the Pearl,
it's on Fulton Street.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hold on. Yeah.
Sir, the District Attorney
wants a word with you.
Okay, I'II call her back
as soon as I'm off the phone.
Sir, she's here.
Oh.
Right. Well, bring her in.
I have to go.
Can I call you back?
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
My guess?
Living room
would've been here.
Well, we can get sonar
to scan the place.
If the bodies were here,
they're probably still here.
Yeah. Gonna need
a warrant to dig.
That's not gonna be easy
and we're running out of time.
We need to talk
to the Captain.
He's got company.
He's about to have more.
Sorry, Captain,
but this is really important.
Detectives
Burkhardt and Griffin,
you know
the District Attorney.
Lauren and I were
just talking about you.
She's heard about
your visit to death row today.
Must admit it's
the first I'm hearing of it.
That's why we're here, sir.
You're causing quite a stir.
We just want to make sure
no stone is Ieft unturned.
You're the arresting officer.
Your testimony
helped put Ferren
on death row.
You better have
a damn good reason
for digging into this
at the 11th hour.
Well, what is it?
LAUREN: You find some
compelling piece of
new evidence?
Or is it that
you just don't want
this man's death
on your conscience?
This isn't about me.
We feel there may
be some credence
to some of Ferren's claims.
Are you saying
he didn't do it?
No.
Ferren killed Miles Kreski
and injured his brother.
That's not in doubt, but...
Then this case is closed.
End of discussion.
Hopefully this will be
the Iast I hear of it.
Ferren's going to
die tomorrow night.
What's she scared of,
that this might
screw up her
campaign for mayor?
Nobody wants
voters to think that
they made a mistake
before an election.
But Iet me just add,
you didn't really give her
a compelling reason
for what you're doing.
You really believe
this man is innocent?
We think it's worth
checking a few details.
Before he's put to death.
I won't stand in your way.
But this is going to
get an enormous amount
of attention, and trust me,
if you're wrong,
this is not the kind
of attention you want.
Nobody's going to
give us a court order
to jackhammer up
the floor of that market
Iooking for bodies
when we don't
have any evidence
that they're there.
AII right, Iook,
there's no reason
for both of us to stick
our necks out on this.
Yeah, and how're you gonna
do this without me?
I don't know.
Neither do I.
Then I'm sorry I
dragged you into this.
You didn't.
My family did.
Well, as Iong as you've got
somebody else to blame,
Iet's do this.
(CHUCKLES)
Ifwe can't find
bodies buried under
the house
the Kreski brothers Iived in,
maybe we need to find
where they Iived before that.
Or after.
Johnny Kreski
survived the attack.
If you find him,
maybe you could
push him a Iittle?
Get him to...
Woge?
That would at Ieast prove
he's what Ferren said he saw.
Won't stop the execution.
Yeah. That'd be great.
We know the truth
and there's nothing
we can do about it.
I might be able
to persuade him.
Might Iook Iike
we forced a confession
out of him.
Yeah.
What if Kreski is still doing
what he did when
his brother was alive?
Burying bodies
where he Iives?
Ifwe find a body or two,
it might prove he's
not the innocent victim
everybody thought he was.
And we need
a place to dig.
Let's find out
where he Iives.
I'II do database.
You take DMV.
No arrests, no priors,
one speeding ticket
Iast year, paid.
One fender bender.
AII here in Portland.
Looks Iike he's still around.
I got an address
on the Iicense.
1501 Pine, Mill Park.
Now home of your Iocal
Grab N' Go convenience market.
I guess he hasn't
updated his Iicense
address since he moved.
Here's something.
Looks Iike there was
a bench warrant out on Kreski.
Skipped out on jury duty.
Summonses were sent
to three different addresses,
all P.O. boxes.
None of them recent.
So what aren't we doing?
SIeeping.
So where the hell
is he now?
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
What are you still
doing up?
I couldn't sleep.
Why? Because of me?
No.
What do you remember from
the night in the hospital
when I woke up?
Well, mostly I remember that
you didn't remember me.
But I was just so
excited you were awake.
What do you remember?
Just a Iot of
strange dreams.
Like what?
Like something being
taken away from me.
(INHALES)
Well, I guess that
would have been me.
How does it happen?
How does one specific
part of your memory
just vanish?
I think it was
the cat scratch.
Nick, I've had
a million cat scratches,
never Iost my memory before.
Well, this was different.
What do you mean?
Do you remember anything
about the night you
went into the coma?
I was at Monroe's,
that's all.
You don't remember
why I took you there,
what he said to you?
No.
Do you remember anything
that happened before that?
Yeah, I was standing
in the rain and crying.
But I don't know why.
Why? Were you with me?
Yes.
Do you know
why I was crying?
Yes.
You want to tell me?
Juliette, I want to tell you,
but you wouldn't understand.
Nick, please,
help me understand.
Juliette, if I told you now,
it wouldn't make
any sense to you.
Fine. Whatever.
I'm glad you know
what's best for me.
(SCREECHES)
(SCREECHING)
(GUN FIRES)
I finally got the report
from Missing Persons.
Each zip code
Kreski Iived in reported
slightly more than normal
missing persons
during the time
he Iived there.
Same goes for
his time in the house
where Craig Ferren shot him.
I got the address on
Kreski's car registration.
P.O. box in Forest Grove.
I also pulled his tax
returns from Iast year.
Last job he had was at
Willamette Builders
Supply in Forest Grove.
Looks Iike we start at
Willamette Builders
Supply in Forest Grove.
We've got seven hours.
That's John.
He Iooks a bit older now,
but, yeah, he works here.
Assistant Manager.
Is he in some kind
of trouble?
We'd Iike
to talk to him.
I think he's doing
inventory in the back.
Follow me.
Hey, John,
couple of detectives
here to see you.
John Kreski.
Detective Burkhardt,
Detective Griffin.
Portland Police.
If it's about Craig Ferren,
I got nothing to say.
There's a possibility
the case might be reopened.
Little Iate for that,
isn't it?
We have to ask you
a few questions
about what happened
that night.
You can ask.
I'm not going to answer,
'cause I did all my
answering seven years ago,
so I'm gonna go back to work,
and you guys can
have a nice day.
Craig Ferren found out
about you and your brother.
He couldn't explain it,
but I can.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You Iike the taste of
human flesh, Johnny?
What?
Ferren drew this.
Pretty good
Iikeness of a Wendigo,
wouldn't you say?
Now what do you think?
Is this you,
or is it your brother?
My brother's dead.
Get out of my face.
What's the matter?
You got something to hide?
Bodies maybe?
Leftovers from Iast
night's dinner guest?
Ferren is the monster!
He killed my brother.
He tried to kill me,
and he's gonna die for it.
You go to hell.
So?
He's a Wendigo.
Ferren was
telling the truth.
I wish that was
enough to arrest him,
but we need to
find some bodies.
We gotta find out
where he Iives.
The manager should know.
(PHONE RINGING)
Rosalee's.
ROSALEE: Monroe, it's me.
Rosalee. How's it going?
My aunt's getting better.
(SIGHS)
I think another week or two
and I can get out of here.
I just wanted to see
how things are going with you.
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, I got a customer.
Okay, I'II call you Iater.
Bye.
Bye.
You said you could help me?
True,
but as I told you before,
I need to see both of you.
I'm bringing her in tomorrow.
Now, I need to make sure
we have complete privacy.
What, you want me
to close the shop?
I'II pay whatever it costs.
Now, how Iong is
this gonna take?
Uh...
Well, I have to
assess the situation,
and I'm guessing maybe
half an hour for that.
And then based
on what I find out
and also based on
my consultations
with my
professional colleagues,
I can hopefully formulate
some kind of a treatment.
How Iong is that gonna take?
I won't know until I
talk to the two of you.
Sorry. I can't be
more specific than that.
This is a very
complicated issue.
These compulsive
romantic entanglements
can be highly combustible,
bordering on the,
Iike, nuclear.
Yeah.
Which is why I'm sure
you'II be here tomorrow.
About what time would
you Iike to do this?
I'II call you when I
know the exact time.
I'II do my very best to
get you de-obsessified.
So what are
we doing here?
Search the house.
Do we have
probable cause?
Hell, yeah.
There's a warrant out on him.
He skipped jury duty.
Works for me.
NICK: Let's check the floors.
Maybe there's some
Ioose boards,
a concealed door, something.
HANK: FIoor's all Iinoleum
in here.
Hey, Nick.
Scratches on the floor.
That refrigerator's
been moved a Iot.
Strange place to put
access to a crawl space.
Yeah, unless you didn't want
someone to find it.
After you.
(LOCK BUZZES)
Sorry, Craig.
I'm afraid it's time.
Stand up,
turn around,
face the wall.
(HOLLOW THUDDING)
Hey, Nick.
Check this out.
AII right.
Help me move this.
(GRUNTS)
(BOTH GAGGING)
(COUGHING)
That should be enough
to stop the execution.
Let's get Forensics down here
and call the D.A.
(YELLING)
Hank!
(SCREECHES)
(EXCLAIMS)
Ugh!
(VOMITS)
(YELLS)
Hank?
(STRAINING)
You get him?
I wounded him.
That's not good, is it?
No.
(LOCK BUZZES)
LAUREN: Tonight's execution
of Craig Ferren
demonstrated two things
to this community.
That justice has
been accomplished
for the family of Miles Kreski
and the people of this state,
and that the office of
the District Attorney
remains as tough on crime...
I think we should change
"office of the District
Attorney" to "my office,"
personalize it.
I Iike it.
BIood trail Ieads out.
I'm going after him.
No, you got to
call this in.
Nick.
If you want to
save Ferren's Iife,
this can't wait.
Nick, this is my deal,
I pulled you in on this.
I'm going after him.
You call the D.A.
WOMAN ON PHONE: Dispatch.
Yeah. This is Burkhardt.
I need you to patch me through
to the District Attorney.
Sorry, Detective,
I think they're
gone for the day.
No, this is urgent.
It cannot wait.
DISPATCHER:
I'll ring the office.
(PHONE RINGS)
(TWIG SNAPS)
(FOOTSTEPS RETREATING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
What?
This is Detective Burkhardt.
You need to stop
this execution.
On what grounds?
We tracked down John Kreski
in Forest Grove.
He's a killer.
Ferren was telling the truth.
Do you have Kreski
in custody?
Not yet.
Look, if Ferren dies, you're
gonna have to explain why
you didn't do anything.
You really want to
take that chance?
(SIGHS)
What do you got?
Bodies buried
underneath the house.
And if we're right,
we're gonna find more bodies
buried underneath the house
the Kreskis Iived in
when Ferren shot them.
There's no house there now.
It's a market.
If you don't call the Governor
and stop this thing
right now, I will.
(GROANS)

(GRUNTING)
You're a Grimm?
It took you Iong enough.
Stay down!
(ROARING)
Killed that
monster in self-defense,
just Iike Craig Ferren.
You get the D.A.?
Yeah.
What'd she say?
I don't know.
Kreski interrupted the call.
There's no time Ieft.
(SNIFFLING)
(MACHINE BEEPING)
(PHONE RINGS)
Warden Stocker.
I understand.
The Governor has issued
a 12-hour stay of execution.
What a mess.
Get me out of here.
HANK: How many people
did these guys kill?
Enough to get
Ferren a retrial.
Just in the nick of time.
CIean up, aisle four!
NICK: There were at
Ieast eight victims.
Could be more.
They're still
sifting through it all.
We're going to present
our findings to the press
in about half an hour.
So how do you
want to handle this?
I think it's your call.
Well, you did
call the Governor.
And we're not
running for mayor.
LAUREN: Just a few hours ago,
Craig Wendell Ferren
was to have been put to death.
Based on new
evidence discovered
by the tireless efforts
of two detectives in our
Portland Police Bureau,
that execution has
been stayed pending
a reopening of the case.
As District Attorney, I have
always fought for justice,
(LOCK BUZZES)
and will continue
to do so as mayor.
(DOOR CLOSES)
I don't know what to say.
I don't know why
you believed me
when no one else would.
I believe there
are things we don't
understand in this world.
That doesn't mean
they don't exist.
Did you see what I saw?
It doesn't matter.
But whatever happens,
you need to know one thing.
You are not crazy.
But you did see him.
Well, that's a Iong story.
(CHUCKLES)
(DOOR OPENS)
Be right with you.
I don't know about this.
Juliette, please.
We have to try.
Oh! (CHUCKLES)
Sorry.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Oh, boy.
Converted by Silmaev
All units, report of a 415,

HANK: Unit 18,
copy, en route.
I Iive here.
There's a terrible fight.
(GUNSHOTS FIRING)
PIease, ma'am,
get back in your house.
Unit 18, request backup!
Police! We're coming in!
GREG: This one's gone.
I've got a pulse.
10-71, 1501 Pine,

(FOOTSTEPS POUNDING)
We need an ambulance.
I have two down.
Something's moving.
(PANTING)
Police!
(BARKING)
(GRUNTING)
Stay down.
No, hold on.
You're under arrest. You have
the right to remain silent.
Wait!
Those guys, they're animals!
I'm advising you
to remain silent.
Didn't you see them?
I said, don't move!
What are they?
What the hell are they?
They Iook Iike monsters!
You Iisten...
Don't move.
No, no, no!
Listen to me!
They wanted to eat me!
Don't Iet them get me. No!
They were trying to kill me!
They're monsters.
They were already
out of ?clairs.
Thanks, I'II get
the next one.
Hank,
you already got this one,
which I didn't even get you.
What?
Oh, sorry.
You okay?
Yeah, I guess.
"Yeah, I guess" means no.
I ever tell you about this guy
I arrested seven years ago?
Craig Ferren?
I don't think so.
Shot two brothers,
one died, was a Iocal
councilman or something.
Brothers were unarmed.
Ferren was an Iraq vet,
had some issues,
got sentenced to death.
Okay. What about it?
When I arrested Ferren,
he claimed the two
brothers turned into
some kind of monsters,
tried to attack him.
I have a feeling I
know where this is going.
The guy's claims
were totally outrageous.
There was no evidence
to support anything
he was saying.
I walked into that
house that night,
those two brothers Iooked
pretty damn human.
Anyway, my testimony
helped Iand Ferren
on death row.
And now you have
a new perspective as to
what Ferren said he saw.
Ferren could be
telling the truth, right?
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe he was
just high or drunk.
Maybe he was telling a story
to justify what he'd done.
Or maybe he saw
something that can't
easily be explained.
There's always that.
Look, I need
your help on this one.
You want confirmation.
Well, if it's
a Grimm thing or not,
wouldn't you?
Well, I can't do that
without taking a Iook
at the evidence,
talking to the defendant...
Thanks.
I was hoping
you'd say that.
Craig Ferren is
scheduled to be executed
tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m.
We've got
36 and a half hours.
Ferren not only
claimed that he saw
the Kreski brothers turn
into hideous monsters,
he also claimed
they were cannibals.
And at the time,
it all sounded ridiculous.
Fangs, claws,
Iike he was building
an insanity plea.
Even ifwhat
Ferren saw was real,
believing him is not gonna
get him off death row.
We've gotta find
something concrete,
something that...
The rest of us could believe.
Detective Robert Anderson
worked the Ferren case.
What happened to him?
Works white collar
for the Feds now.
I'II give him a call.
(PHONE RINGING)
Renard.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
No. No,
I haven't forgotten.
I just...
I got pulled away
on some business
at City Hall.
Yeah, I'II be in soon.
ANDERSON: Craig Ferren
shot two innocent,
unarmed men.
AII evidence showed
the crime was premeditated,
and his guilt
was undeniable.
Ferren even admitted
he was the shooter.
No, we're not saying
Ferren didn't do it.
Then what the hell
are you doing?
Some of Ferren's claims
may have been justified.
He may have
been attacked.
You find evidence
the Kreski brothers
had weapons?
No, that's not it.
Then what?
Craig Ferren accused
the Kreski brothers
of being cannibals.
(SCOFFS) We conducted
a thorough search
of the Kreskis' house,
found absolutely nothing.
Did you dig up their yard,
check the rest
of their property?
We interviewed friends,
neighbors, co-workers.
You're talking about two guys
who were Iiked and respected
by everyone in
their community.
And, no, I did not
dig up their damn backyard.
Hank, you're not
responsible for this guy
being on death row.
He's responsible.
Let justice prevail.
Don't get me wrong,
I Iike Nick a Iot.
But you don't Iove him.
I don't know if I
Iove him, I just met...
It feels Iike
I just met him.
So what's wrong with that?
I wish I could re-meet
my husband again.
It's a Iittle bit more
complicated than that.
Complicated?
There's someone else.
No!
"No"?
Really, no?
Like I said,
it's complicated.
So what's
Mr. Complicated's name?
It's not important.
Are you sleeping with him?
No, no.
You're sleeping with Nick.
No! I'm not
sleeping with anybody.
But you have feelings
for this other guy.
I don't understand it.
I barely know
this other guy,
but I can't stop
thinking about him
and it's driving me crazy.
HANK: Monique Dyson?
Detective Burkhardt,
Detective Griffin.
Is this about Craig?
I was the arresting officer.
Can we talk to
you for a moment?
I thought
you Iooked familiar.
What do you want?
I want to try and
help him if I can.
Why?
It's hard to explain,
but some of the cases
we've been working on recently
have given us kind
of a new perspective.
And we want to apply
that to Craig's case
while there's still time.
MONIQUE:
We met at Oregon State.
I was studying marketing.
Craig wanted to be
a mechanical engineer.
He dropped out
to join the Army.
He was very patriotic.
Iraq changed him.
He came back
with terrible headaches,
nightmares.
He could never
sleep through the night.
Wasn't he being
treated for PTSD?
You wanna call it that.
He was prescribed
a bunch of drugs,
which he downed with alcohol.
Though he'd hardly ever been
much of a drinker.
NICK: We know
he was arrested.
DUI, couple of public
drunkenness charges,
got into a few scuffles.
Craig had his issues,
but he wasn't a murderer.
He was just starting to get
his Iife back together when
all this happened.
The prosecution, the media,
they called him
a Ioose cannon,
a ticking time bomb.
That could not be
further from the truth.
It's ironic, isn't it?
That Craig's the one being
portrayed as a monster.
So you believe him.
I'm not inside Craig's head.
I don't know what he saw,
but I believe he saw
what he said he did.
It haunted him.
Still does.
Everyone told him
he was crazy,
so he started to
believe that he was.
He even told me
that he didn't want
to see me anymore.
I just didn't
Iisten to him.
Has anyone else
seen these Ietters?
Yeah,
I represented Craig Ferren
at his murder trial.
Lot of good it did.
I filed every appeal I could,
and every one of them
was rejected.
Unfortunately,
he got the Iegal defense
he could afford.
According to the transcripts,
you only called one
character witness,
Ferren's girlfriend,
Monique?
Guys, she was the only one
that really got
along with him.
What about some of
his army buddies?
Good idea.
So on cross-examination
the jury could
hear about how well
he handled a gun?
What an efficient
killer he was?
I'm a public defender.
I'm not a miracle worker.
I deal with 15 cases a day.
I have no personal Iife.
Can I offer anybody
a tissue?
Did you investigate
any of Ferren's claims?
What, about
the Kreski brothers?
I Iooked into them.
They were clean.
And if they were cannibals,
they must've ate up
all the evidence.
Did Ferren ever
describe to you
what they Iooked Iike
when they were monsters?
He did better than that.
Ferren drew these.
I submitted them
to the judge.
When she stopped Iaughing,
she refused to Iet them be
entered into evidence.
His psych evaluation
said he knew
the difference
between right and wrong.
This could just be
a wild goose chase.
Not a goose,
wild or otherwise.
A Wendigo.
Wendigo?
That doesn't sound German.
It's not.
It's from 1759.
"After the disappearance
of the Magistrate
and his wife,
"I tracked what I believed
to be a Wildermann
through Starksboro
"into the Camel's Hump forest.
"It was there I first heard
of the mythical Wendigo
"from the chieftain
of the AIgonquin tribe
"that had provided me
refuge for the night.
"I soon Iearned
these terrifying
beasts are no myth.
"I came upon
the cave of the Wendigo,
rife with human remains,
"having been
the scene of many murders
and cannibalistic acts."
"Two days Iater,
I encountered
the Wendigo himself.
"His eyes seemed to glow.
"His breath was hideous
with the horrible
stench of burned flesh.
"I made the terrible mistake
of wounding him,
"which only made
him more ferocious.
"I was Iucky to
escape with my Iife
"as I surely would have been
his next dinner guest."
Dahmer was a Wendigo?
Someone in my
family thought so.
Says they usually dig pits
to bury the remains
under houses or in basements.
If this is what Ferren saw,
then it was self-defense.
I think it's time
we talked to Ferren.
(LOCK BUZZING)
INMATE 1: Look up, ya'II.
INMATE 2: Cops!
INMATE 3: What do they want?
I don't wanna know.
Neither do I.
(LOCK BUZZING)
I got nothing
to say to you.
HANK: You don't
have to talk,
but you got 31 hours Ieft,
so what have you got to Iose?
You here to clear
your conscience?
This is my partner,
Nick Burkhardt.
He specializes in
unusual cases.
We might be able to
help you, if you'II Iet us.
(SCOFFS)
Right.
I wanna hear
about what happened
the night you
shot the Kreskis.
Read the transcripts.
I have.
I wanna hear it from you.
It was a mistake.
I didn't see anything.
You didn't see this?
We got it from your Iawyer.
Now, the interesting thing
is it Iooks just Iike this.
It's called a Wendigo.
You're not the only
one who's seen them.
What the hell's
going on here?
We believe you.
It's a Iittle Iate for that.
I'm done here.
The breath smelled
Iike burning flesh,
right?
You claimed the Kreskis
were cannibals.
You see any
evidence of that?
No.
Then why did
you think that?
I was there to fix
their sink, right?
Do the job,
get my money, get out.
They started Iaughing,
Iike they'd been
drinking or something.
I don't know.
Then they said,
"We'd Iove to
have you for dinner."
They started
Iaughing even harder.
I said,
"No, I just want to fix
what needed to be fixed."
And one of them said,
"No, you don't understand.
"We'II be fixing
you for dinner."
I thought
they were crazy.
Then what?
Then I got spooked,
and I tried to Ieave.
And that's when...
That's when you
saw them change.
It was horrible.
Teeth Iike needles.
Twisted Iips. Yellow eyes.
It was a nightmare.
And I fought them off
the best I could.
Somehow I got my gun
out of my toolbox,
and I started shooting.
And then I ran.
But nobody's
going to believe you.
We can't prove to the D.A.
that Ferren shot two Wendigos.
We need to prove
the brothers were killers.
Yeah, which means
we need evidence
of their kills.
In the book,
didn't it say
Wendigos bury
the remains of their
victims where they Iive?
And the defense
never dug up the yard.
Where's the house
the Kreskis Iived in,
when Ferren shot them?
Mill Park.
Man, this neighborhood has
changed a Iot in seven years.
Oh, man.
What?
This is where
Kreskis' house used to be.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Juliette. Hi, it's Sean.
Hi.
Hi.
Um...
Listen, the other night...
Was a huge mistake.
Yeah. Agreed.
But I think it's
a symptom of a much
bigger problem that
we're both experiencing.
Okay.
Look, I don't know
how it is for you,
but for me,
it's just getting
a lot worse.
So I've been thinking about
some possible solutions.
No, the solution is simple.
We never see each
other ever again.
Yeah, I'm not so sure
that's going to work.
Yeah, me neither.
There's someone
who I think might be
able to help us
get through this.
How?
I'm not sure yet,
but would you be
open to trying?
Okay.
There's a shop in the Pearl,
it's on Fulton Street.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hold on. Yeah.
Sir, the District Attorney
wants a word with you.
Okay, I'II call her back
as soon as I'm off the phone.
Sir, she's here.
Oh.
Right. Well, bring her in.
I have to go.
Can I call you back?
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
My guess?
Living room
would've been here.
Well, we can get sonar
to scan the place.
If the bodies were here,
they're probably still here.
Yeah. Gonna need
a warrant to dig.
That's not gonna be easy
and we're running out of time.
We need to talk
to the Captain.
He's got company.
He's about to have more.
Sorry, Captain,
but this is really important.
Detectives
Burkhardt and Griffin,
you know
the District Attorney.
Lauren and I were
just talking about you.
She's heard about
your visit to death row today.
Must admit it's
the first I'm hearing of it.
That's why we're here, sir.
You're causing quite a stir.
We just want to make sure
no stone is Ieft unturned.
You're the arresting officer.
Your testimony
helped put Ferren
on death row.
You better have
a damn good reason
for digging into this
at the 11th hour.
Well, what is it?
LAUREN: You find some
compelling piece of
new evidence?
Or is it that
you just don't want
this man's death
on your conscience?
This isn't about me.
We feel there may
be some credence
to some of Ferren's claims.
Are you saying
he didn't do it?
No.
Ferren killed Miles Kreski
and injured his brother.
That's not in doubt, but...
Then this case is closed.
End of discussion.
Hopefully this will be
the Iast I hear of it.
Ferren's going to
die tomorrow night.
What's she scared of,
that this might
screw up her
campaign for mayor?
Nobody wants
voters to think that
they made a mistake
before an election.
But Iet me just add,
you didn't really give her
a compelling reason
for what you're doing.
You really believe
this man is innocent?
We think it's worth
checking a few details.
Before he's put to death.
I won't stand in your way.
But this is going to
get an enormous amount
of attention, and trust me,
if you're wrong,
this is not the kind
of attention you want.
Nobody's going to
give us a court order
to jackhammer up
the floor of that market
Iooking for bodies
when we don't
have any evidence
that they're there.
AII right, Iook,
there's no reason
for both of us to stick
our necks out on this.
Yeah, and how're you gonna
do this without me?
I don't know.
Neither do I.
Then I'm sorry I
dragged you into this.
You didn't.
My family did.
Well, as Iong as you've got
somebody else to blame,
Iet's do this.
(CHUCKLES)
Ifwe can't find
bodies buried under
the house
the Kreski brothers Iived in,
maybe we need to find
where they Iived before that.
Or after.
Johnny Kreski
survived the attack.
If you find him,
maybe you could
push him a Iittle?
Get him to...
Woge?
That would at Ieast prove
he's what Ferren said he saw.
Won't stop the execution.
Yeah. That'd be great.
We know the truth
and there's nothing
we can do about it.
I might be able
to persuade him.
Might Iook Iike
we forced a confession
out of him.
Yeah.
What if Kreski is still doing
what he did when
his brother was alive?
Burying bodies
where he Iives?
Ifwe find a body or two,
it might prove he's
not the innocent victim
everybody thought he was.
And we need
a place to dig.
Let's find out
where he Iives.
I'II do database.
You take DMV.
No arrests, no priors,
one speeding ticket
Iast year, paid.
One fender bender.
AII here in Portland.
Looks Iike he's still around.
I got an address
on the Iicense.
1501 Pine, Mill Park.
Now home of your Iocal
Grab N' Go convenience market.
I guess he hasn't
updated his Iicense
address since he moved.
Here's something.
Looks Iike there was
a bench warrant out on Kreski.
Skipped out on jury duty.
Summonses were sent
to three different addresses,
all P.O. boxes.
None of them recent.
So what aren't we doing?
SIeeping.
So where the hell
is he now?
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
What are you still
doing up?
I couldn't sleep.
Why? Because of me?
No.
What do you remember from
the night in the hospital
when I woke up?
Well, mostly I remember that
you didn't remember me.
But I was just so
excited you were awake.
What do you remember?
Just a Iot of
strange dreams.
Like what?
Like something being
taken away from me.
(INHALES)
Well, I guess that
would have been me.
How does it happen?
How does one specific
part of your memory
just vanish?
I think it was
the cat scratch.
Nick, I've had
a million cat scratches,
never Iost my memory before.
Well, this was different.
What do you mean?
Do you remember anything
about the night you
went into the coma?
I was at Monroe's,
that's all.
You don't remember
why I took you there,
what he said to you?
No.
Do you remember anything
that happened before that?
Yeah, I was standing
in the rain and crying.
But I don't know why.
Why? Were you with me?
Yes.
Do you know
why I was crying?
Yes.
You want to tell me?
Juliette, I want to tell you,
but you wouldn't understand.
Nick, please,
help me understand.
Juliette, if I told you now,
it wouldn't make
any sense to you.
Fine. Whatever.
I'm glad you know
what's best for me.
(SCREECHES)
(SCREECHING)
(GUN FIRES)
I finally got the report
from Missing Persons.
Each zip code
Kreski Iived in reported
slightly more than normal
missing persons
during the time
he Iived there.
Same goes for
his time in the house
where Craig Ferren shot him.
I got the address on
Kreski's car registration.
P.O. box in Forest Grove.
I also pulled his tax
returns from Iast year.
Last job he had was at
Willamette Builders
Supply in Forest Grove.
Looks Iike we start at
Willamette Builders
Supply in Forest Grove.
We've got seven hours.
That's John.
He Iooks a bit older now,
but, yeah, he works here.
Assistant Manager.
Is he in some kind
of trouble?
We'd Iike
to talk to him.
I think he's doing
inventory in the back.
Follow me.
Hey, John,
couple of detectives
here to see you.
John Kreski.
Detective Burkhardt,
Detective Griffin.
Portland Police.
If it's about Craig Ferren,
I got nothing to say.
There's a possibility
the case might be reopened.
Little Iate for that,
isn't it?
We have to ask you
a few questions
about what happened
that night.
You can ask.
I'm not going to answer,
'cause I did all my
answering seven years ago,
so I'm gonna go back to work,
and you guys can
have a nice day.
Craig Ferren found out
about you and your brother.
He couldn't explain it,
but I can.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You Iike the taste of
human flesh, Johnny?
What?
Ferren drew this.
Pretty good
Iikeness of a Wendigo,
wouldn't you say?
Now what do you think?
Is this you,
or is it your brother?
My brother's dead.
Get out of my face.
What's the matter?
You got something to hide?
Bodies maybe?
Leftovers from Iast
night's dinner guest?
Ferren is the monster!
He killed my brother.
He tried to kill me,
and he's gonna die for it.
You go to hell.
So?
He's a Wendigo.
Ferren was
telling the truth.
I wish that was
enough to arrest him,
but we need to
find some bodies.
We gotta find out
where he Iives.
The manager should know.
(PHONE RINGING)
Rosalee's.
ROSALEE: Monroe, it's me.
Rosalee. How's it going?
My aunt's getting better.
(SIGHS)
I think another week or two
and I can get out of here.
I just wanted to see
how things are going with you.
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, I got a customer.
Okay, I'II call you Iater.
Bye.
Bye.
You said you could help me?
True,
but as I told you before,
I need to see both of you.
I'm bringing her in tomorrow.
Now, I need to make sure
we have complete privacy.
What, you want me
to close the shop?
I'II pay whatever it costs.
Now, how Iong is
this gonna take?
Uh...
Well, I have to
assess the situation,
and I'm guessing maybe
half an hour for that.
And then based
on what I find out
and also based on
my consultations
with my
professional colleagues,
I can hopefully formulate
some kind of a treatment.
How Iong is that gonna take?
I won't know until I
talk to the two of you.
Sorry. I can't be
more specific than that.
This is a very
complicated issue.
These compulsive
romantic entanglements
can be highly combustible,
bordering on the,
Iike, nuclear.
Yeah.
Which is why I'm sure
you'II be here tomorrow.
About what time would
you Iike to do this?
I'II call you when I
know the exact time.
I'II do my very best to
get you de-obsessified.
So what are
we doing here?
Search the house.
Do we have
probable cause?
Hell, yeah.
There's a warrant out on him.
He skipped jury duty.
Works for me.
NICK: Let's check the floors.
Maybe there's some
Ioose boards,
a concealed door, something.
HANK: FIoor's all Iinoleum
in here.
Hey, Nick.
Scratches on the floor.
That refrigerator's
been moved a Iot.
Strange place to put
access to a crawl space.
Yeah, unless you didn't want
someone to find it.
After you.
(LOCK BUZZES)
Sorry, Craig.
I'm afraid it's time.
Stand up,
turn around,
face the wall.
(HOLLOW THUDDING)
Hey, Nick.
Check this out.
AII right.
Help me move this.
(GRUNTS)
(BOTH GAGGING)
(COUGHING)
That should be enough
to stop the execution.
Let's get Forensics down here
and call the D.A.
(YELLING)
Hank!
(SCREECHES)
(EXCLAIMS)
Ugh!
(VOMITS)
(YELLS)
Hank?
(STRAINING)
You get him?
I wounded him.
That's not good, is it?
No.
(LOCK BUZZES)
LAUREN: Tonight's execution
of Craig Ferren
demonstrated two things
to this community.
That justice has
been accomplished
for the family of Miles Kreski
and the people of this state,
and that the office of
the District Attorney
remains as tough on crime...
I think we should change
"office of the District
Attorney" to "my office,"
personalize it.
I Iike it.
BIood trail Ieads out.
I'm going after him.
No, you got to
call this in.
Nick.
If you want to
save Ferren's Iife,
this can't wait.
Nick, this is my deal,
I pulled you in on this.
I'm going after him.
You call the D.A.
WOMAN ON PHONE: Dispatch.
Yeah. This is Burkhardt.
I need you to patch me through
to the District Attorney.
Sorry, Detective,
I think they're
gone for the day.
No, this is urgent.
It cannot wait.
DISPATCHER:
I'll ring the office.
(PHONE RINGS)
(TWIG SNAPS)
(FOOTSTEPS RETREATING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
What?
This is Detective Burkhardt.
You need to stop
this execution.
On what grounds?
We tracked down John Kreski
in Forest Grove.
He's a killer.
Ferren was telling the truth.
Do you have Kreski
in custody?
Not yet.
Look, if Ferren dies, you're
gonna have to explain why
you didn't do anything.
You really want to
take that chance?
(SIGHS)
What do you got?
Bodies buried
underneath the house.
And if we're right,
we're gonna find more bodies
buried underneath the house
the Kreskis Iived in
when Ferren shot them.
There's no house there now.
It's a market.
If you don't call the Governor
and stop this thing
right now, I will.
(GROANS)
(SCREECHING ON PHONE)
(NICK GRUNTING)
(SCREECHING)
(GRUNTING)
You're a Grimm?
It took you Iong enough.
Stay down!
(ROARING)
Killed that
monster in self-defense,
just Iike Craig Ferren.
You get the D.A.?
Yeah.
What'd she say?
I don't know.
Kreski interrupted the call.
There's no time Ieft.
(SNIFFLING)
(MACHINE BEEPING)
(PHONE RINGS)
Warden Stocker.
I understand.
The Governor has issued
a 12-hour stay of execution.
What a mess.
Get me out of here.
HANK: How many people
did these guys kill?
Enough to get
Ferren a retrial.
Just in the nick of time.
CIean up, aisle four!
NICK: There were at
Ieast eight victims.
Could be more.
They're still
sifting through it all.
We're going to present
our findings to the press
in about half an hour.
So how do you
want to handle this?
I think it's your call.
Well, you did
call the Governor.
And we're not
running for mayor.
LAUREN: Just a few hours ago,
Craig Wendell Ferren
was to have been put to death.
Based on new
evidence discovered
by the tireless efforts
of two detectives in our
Portland Police Bureau,
that execution has
been stayed pending
a reopening of the case.
As District Attorney, I have
always fought for justice,
(LOCK BUZZES)
and will continue
to do so as mayor.
(DOOR CLOSES)
I don't know what to say.
I don't know why
you believed me
when no one else would.
I believe there
are things we don't
understand in this world.
That doesn't mean
they don't exist.
Did you see what I saw?
It doesn't matter.
But whatever happens,
you need to know one thing.
You are not crazy.
But you did see him.
Well, that's a Iong story.
(CHUCKLES)
(DOOR OPENS)
Be right with you.
I don't know about this.
Juliette, please.
We have to try.
Oh! (CHUCKLES)
Sorry.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Oh, boy.
