Grimm (2011–2017): Season 2, Episode 18 - Volcanalis - full transcript

A young geologist is gruesomely burned after collecting rock samples from a nearby volcano, and it finds Nick and the rest trying to stop a demonic Beast who is literally hot to the touch.

This is sort of unusual,
what I'm seeing.

I am southwest of
the Coalman glacier at about

4,500 feet, and this looks
to be a fumarole.

The ground is unusually warm.
Some of the volcanic

rock is warm to the touch.

Some of the rocks appear
to be aphanitic,

some have vesicular texture.

Where I was expecting
to find andesite and dacite,

I'm finding what appears
to be ignimbrite, but...

I'm just so excited
to find this fumarole,

which I didn't know existed.

You can't take it!

What are you doing?
Give that back!

It doesn't belong to you!

Aah! Aah!

Give it back!
Aah!

Aah!
You haven't shown respect!

Thom, this is Jill.
I'm up on Mt. Hood.

I just got back to my truck
and some guy attacked me.

No, no, I'm okay.

I pepper sprayed him,
but he's still back there.

I'm coming in.

What?
Stop it.

- Get out.
- You're no longer welcomed

in this precinct.
Really?

Not for three weeks.

What are you still doing here?
I'm just finishing up.

- No, you're not.
- You're on vacation.

Come on, get the hell
out of here.

- I just...
- Nope, go.

Now.

- I heard he's going to Hawaii.
- I heard it's majorca.

Who cares? He hasn't taken
a vacation in four years...

And boy, do I need it.

You just be careful and don't
get hurt while I'm gone.

Watch his back.

- Watch yours!
- Bye, Hank!

- Aloha!
- Have a great time, man.

- See you later, buddy.
- Have fun.

- And back to work.
- Ah.

No, no, please.
Not again.

Juliette? I'm making some
eggs, you want some?

I think we have a problem...

Good eggs, too.

The way you like them,
and bacon.

That was the best chicken tagine
I have ever watched you make.

With the ice.

There isn't any.
No, no, no, you relax.

If you really want the car,
we should just get it.

We should do breakfast in bed.

Stop! Stop!
Everybody, stop!

Get out of here!

Raccoons, again!

We're looking for
pine meadows drive.

The house has a name...
owl's nest.

Get out! Get out!

Oh, God.

Really?

Mm.

What is it?

Fraulein Schade, it's me.

It's late.
What do you want?

- Get dressed.
- Wh... why?

We have a meeting, with
the gebirgeleutewortfuhrerin.

And who the hell is that?

The queen of
the schwarzwald romas.

And it was not easy to arrange.

Well, I'm not going.

You do not want to offend them.

I feel like crap.

If you want to learn
the true value of motherhood,

it's time to find out how much
your little kinder is worth.

Wear something warm.

- Please, no, just get out.
- Juliette.

- Please, just go away.
- Juliette, just take it easy.

I just found out about
the accident,

and I got here as soon as
I could.

Nick?

Yeah.
I, um...

I guess you knocked
yourself out.

Nobody else was hurt.

You're everywhere.

What?

You were in my kitchen.
You were in my bedroom.

You're in my car.
Okay, Juliette, it...

it's gonna be okay.
I talked to the doctor.

You had a small concussion,
but you're gonna be all right.

You need to leave me alone.

Yeah, Juliette, that is what
I've been doing.

I don't know what you
and your friends did to me,

but I am losing it.
You have to understand that

I can't see you anymore.

Okay, okay.

I, uh...

I just wanted to see
how you were doing.

Hmm, felt like
a 4.3, 4.5.

Aah, come on!

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shoot!

You got it! You got it!

Shoot! Shoot!
No, no, no, pass it!

- Take the shot!
- No, no, pass it, pass it!

Aah!

Ugh!

Now let's have a look
at some first half highlights.

- He should have passed it.
- He should have made the shot.

Right, Nick?

What?

- See, he agrees?
- No, he doesn't.

He's not even watching the game.

- I'm watching the game.
- Really?

Who's playing?

- Timbers.
- And?

I have no idea.

At least Juliette wasn't
hurt in the accident.

I mean, in a way you got hurt
worse than she did.

The way she treated you like
some kind of pariah.

Hey, hey, I thought we were
supposed to be cheering him up?

I know, but come on,
he has to face that...

what?

What do I have to face?
Nothing.

You're... you're not ready to.

Look, sorry guys.
I-I don't mean to be like this.

No, it's okay.
It's fine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, we've all been there.

Well, maybe not exactly
having been forgotten

like you've been forgotten.

Look, we've certainly
all been dumped on,

for whatever reason.
Yeah.

We don't have to watch
the rest of the game

if you don't want to.
What? What? What?

We go to a bar.
He might even meet someone new.

They'll have the game on there.
You know what, guys?

I think I'm just gonna
call it a night.

Okay, well,
see you in the morning.

All right.

So, we completely tanked
that one.

He's hurting. There's not much
you can do about that.

Just kind of surprised

that a Grimm can hurt like that.
But, you know,

Nick... he's a sensitive Grimm.

Yeah, Burkhardt.

Yeah, just text me the address.
I'm on my way.

- You got something?
- Dead body!

That'll take your mind off her.

It takes my mind
off... off her.

What have we got?

Well, the first part's normal.

Victim is Jill Pembrey,
a geologist at eon industries.

Was supposed to pick up
Roni Sanchez,

a co-worker, for dinner.

When she didn't show,
Sanchez tried to call,

then came over, called 911.

And what's the not normal part?

Everything else.

Looks like burn marks.
Was there a fire?

If there was, nothing burned.

Except her.

See that?

Looks like hand prints burned
into her arms and neck.

That's some hot hands.

Let's see what
the M.E. has to say.

Any sign of forced entry?

Don't know if it was forced,
but we've got the same burn

marks on the back door.

Looks like melted plastic.

It was hot in here.

Got a camera over here.

It says, "property of eon."

Let's see what's on it.

Last thing shot was some video

from earlier today.
Hmm.

Where I was expecting
to see andesite and dacite,

I'm finding what appears
to be ignimbrite,

but I'm just so excited
to find this fumarole,

which I didn't know existed.

Nothing after that.

One question...
what's a fumarole?

-

-

-

Ahem.

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

What is your name?

Adalind Schade.

Your family has deep roots
here, Adalind Schade.

I am Stefania Vaduva Popescu,

and our roots run even deeper.

I'm honored to meet you.

Let us talk.

Welcome to my home!

These are my sons...

Dragomir, Lucian.

Nice to meet you.

They don't speak English
very well.

To establish the true value of
a child,

one must establish
the bloodline.

- We understand.
- Mm.

I can tell you that.

Yes.
You can say anything.

But there is only one way
to be sure.

And what is that?

Blood of the child.

What are you doing?

No! Stop!

Standard procedure.

Which, unfortunately, you have
to be awake for. No, no, no!

It's just so shocking.

Jill was one of our best.

It doesn't make any sense,
her dying like that.

Where was she working
yesterday?

Here.
Up on Mt. Hood, taking samples.

You know, I don't know
if this has anything to do

with what happened
up there, but...

She called in yesterday
afternoon,

said somebody attacker her
on the Mountain.

She pepper sprayed him.

Did she report it
to the police?

She called us, and then
we called the state park police.

We were waiting for a follow-up,
and... Now this.

We'll check with them. Did she
give you any description?

No, not really.

Just some kind of crazy
eco-freak.

What was she collecting
on Mt. Hood?

Oh, she was taking rock samples

and measuring mineral
and chemical content.

We're looking at geothermal
possibilities in the area.

She found a fumarole
down lower than expected.

She was pretty excited.

- Can you tell us where she was?
- How about I show you?

Jill was single.

Had a boyfriend,
they broke up a year ago.

His name was Doug Harrigon.

He took it pretty hard
'cause she broke up with him,

but I don't think
he'd do this to her.

She have any other
relationships?

Not romantic.

Tell you the truth, the love
of her life was what she did.

- Huh.
- Well, this is

the area where she said
he attacked her.

Where was she taking samples?

The fumarole is about
1/4 mile from here.

Let's go.

Have you had any other
problems with people or groups

who don't want
your company here?

Well, the usual...
letters, a few protesters.

But we run a clean company.

We've gotten every permit,
been to every public hearing.

Oh, this is interesting.

How so?

Well, a vent in this area

indicates the volcano
could become more active.

This fumarole is showing
the magma's heat is increasing.

This is too much steam.

What?

Not sure.

This is what she would
have been collecting.

Oh, what the hell?

Stay back.
We'll take a look.

Looks like somebody had
a bad hair day.

Never had anything
like this happen before.

Until yesterday.

I got cell service.
I'm calling it in.

Yeah, this is sergeant wu.
I'm up on Mt. Hood.

What road is this?
Forest service road 218.

Forest service road 218.

Don't move!

Oh, great.
What the hell are you?

Wu!
I got him!

Unh!

Aah, you're taking
what isn't yours!

You've not shown respect,
and now you're gonna die!

You can't stop it!

You're all gonna die!

Aah!
You've not shown respect!

Good news. She didn't lie.

Now we don't have to kill her.

The blood is royal.

I told you that before.

Yes, but the word of a
hexenbiest... even a former one...

is cheap.
Blood is strong.

Now the negotiations
for the baby can begin.

No!

What kind of a mother are you?

The kind that wants the most
for my baby.

I'm prepared to offer you
1/2 million Euros if it's a boy,

750,000 if it's a girl.

It should be delivered
of sound mind and body

within 24 hours of the birth.

Those are my terms.

We can get more than that
on the open market in Budapest.

If you can make it to Budapest.

You don't understand.
I'm not interested in money.

What are you interested in?

I want what was taken from me
by the Grimm.

I want my powers back.

What you want
may not be possible.

Well, then I guess there's
no reason to go to term.

She does not know
what she is saying.

Take the money!

Those are my terms.

Markus Hemmings.
Arrested numerous times

near Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier,
Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Lassen,

Mt. Shasta, for assault
and property damage.

He used to be an archaeologist.

Did some teaching,
worked for the state.

Went off the grid
about 15 years ago,

when his
illegal escapades began.

Well, it sounds like pretty
standard eco-warrior stuff.

Why are you bringing it to me?

I think he's the one who
attacked Jill Pembrey yesterday

before she was murdered
in her home.

You have any physical evidence
tying him

to the murder scene?
Not yet.

But 15 years ago his wife,

also an archaeologist,
went missing.

Found her dead under
mysterious circumstances.

Tried to charge him
but they couldn't prove it.

The M.E.'s description
of her body

matches that of Jill Pembrey.

Anyone ever do
a psych evaluation?

He's been treated
for depression,

but he's more lucid now
he's back on his meds.

But... He's wesen.

Who isn't these days?

Did you get a good look at him?

Yeah, but I've never seen
anything like him.

Maybe I should help you
with this one.

You okay with that?

All right.

Good.
Let's get him in the room.

Okay, I am, um...

I am ready when you are.

And bring some more mustard.
I can't find my blue shirt.

You look great in that dress.
Yeah, it's a good deal.

Okay.
I can do this.

Focus on one moment,
one memory,

and just try to be there
with it.

You have to step into your past
in order to reconnect with it.

It's not enough
to just remember it,

you have to become
a part of it.

Juliette!

Could you get the door, please?

I remember this.

What did I say?
What was I saying?

Juliette, door!

Baby, you're gonna
hurt yourself.

Baby, you're gonna
hurt yourself.

That's part of the plan.

Then you'll have
to take care of me.

I think these
are the encyclopedias.

Well, a couple of more loads
should do it.

I'm gonna start unpacking then.

Okay.

What?

You're still okay with
us moving in together, right?

Are you?

I don't know.

Oh, yeah?

You, um... you starting
to have second thoughts?

No.

Just one thought.

Markus Hemmings.

We know who you are,
we know where you've been.

We know you attacked

Jill Pembrey up on
the Mountain yesterday.

We know she pepper sprayed you.

Now, you didn't like that,
did you?

So you followed her home
and you killed her.

I didn't kill anybody.

I was trying to warn her.

- About what?
- About what would happen

if she took what wasn't hers.

So what did she take?

His property.

And who are you talking about?

I tried to warn her like
I tried to warn you.

She wouldn't listen.

No one ever does.

When the earth cries,
that's when he wakes.

You think of yourself as some
sort of eco-warrior, is that it?

Someone takes something
from the earth,

you think it's your
responsibility to avenge it.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

Why don't you help us
with that, Markus?

You know I know what you are.
Doesn't matter.

You don't know what he is.

Why don't you tell us?

He's not like anything
you've ever seen.

He's not like you,

or me.

You think I want
to live like this?

I do not want to be
on that Mountain!

But I've seen what happens
when Volcanalis rises!

I've seen the destruction!

He wants his revenge,
and he won't stop!

Why don't you tell us
about your wife?

What happened to her?

I couldn't save her either.

So, do we know who
this Volcanalis character is?

Well, from what I can remember,

Volcanalis is a priest
of vulcan,

the Roman God of fire.

Well, according to the M.E.,

Jill Pembrey seems to have
cooked from the inside out.

Like a microwave?

Don't know.
But her organs were well done.

And there's no evidence
suggesting that Markus

was at Jill Pembrey's house,
or that he knew her before.

What if there was someone else?

What, like a Roman God?

I highly doubt we could pin
a murder on him.

So...

We doing this one
off the books?

Yeah, might have to.
You good with that?

Let's just say I've learned
how to be flexible.

As have I.

Okay, not the big one.

So...

I ran all the data on attacks
on or around volcanoes.

Strangely enough,
there are several

linked to people taking rocks

which, according to some,
are sacred.

Mt. St. Helens in Washington,
Mt. Shasta in

California, Kamoamoa in Hawaii,
Iliamna in Alaska,

Hoodoo in Canada,
Mt. Bandai in Japan,

El Chichon in Mexico,
llaima in Chile.

I didn't know there were
that many volcanoes.

That's just in what's
affectionately known

as "the ring of fire,"

basically a circle around
the pacific.

According to these legends,
if you purloin sacred stones

there is hell to pay.

Like pele in Hawaii.

Not very nice once
she's riled up.

Not that I believe
in such things.

However, last time I was
in Hawaii,

I made sure not
to take any rocks.

Thom took some rocks from
the mountain.

Yeah.
After what happened to Jill,

we better give her boss
a heads up.

Angie?

Where'd they... Go?

Aah!

Police!

Put him down!

Police! Put him down!

Don't move!

Stay back!

Stay back!

Aah!

I can't breathe.

I'm going after him!

Yeah.

Ha!

Where should we put this?

In the trash.

This is my Elvis lamp.

I got it in Mexico.

I see that, and that doesn't
make it any more valuable.

I had to drink a lot of mescal

and eat a worm for this thing.

Nick...

You just have to ask yourself
one question...

who do you love more?

I'm gonna go get you a beer
to celebrate your breakup.

Please do.

We need to put more than just
beer in that fridge.

I could really use a double
americano right about now...

You know?

I mean, if we're gonna
be spending this much time here,

you should really invest in
a decent sound system

and an espresso machine.

I got something.

"Taureus-armenta."

This is what Markus
looked like.

Now we know where
"bullheaded" came from.

Listen to this.

"Known for stubbornness
and courage

"in the face of adversity.

"Many have been found
in the front lines,

"first to volunteer, willing
to face down any enemy,

with nerves of steel
under fire."

Hold on.

I think I've got something
on Volcanalis.

Right?
I mean, what the hell is that?

That's what we saw tonight.

I'll tell you what, dude...

this looks a little bit
like what,

in my book,
is known as El diablo.

What do they write about him?

I don't know.

It's all in Latin.

Well, we know someone
who speaks Latin.

"Having encountered
the molten beast twice before,

"I enlisted the help
of the high priest

"before I had the courage
to return up the Mountain.

"Many of the dwellers in Pompeii
had removed rocks.

"When we discovered the bodies

"of these villagers
burnt and blistered,

"the priest uttered one word
before he ran for his life...

"Volcanalis.

"Too frightened
to face it on my own,

"I retreated just in time

"as vesuvius sought revenge,

"erupting and burying Pompeii.

"I returned to Rome where I was
to learn that Volcanalis

"had often been mistaken for
that ancient serpent, Satana.

"But unlike Satana, Volcanalis

"lived within
the mountains of fire,

"frequently appearing prior
to violent eruptions

as I had so recently learned."

That is quite
the history lesson.

Do you have a lot
of these books, by the way?

A few.

If he did that to Pompeii,

you think he had anything to do
with, like, Mt. St. Helens?

Well, if he did, I'd hate to
think what he'd do to Portland.

Assuming what we saw tonight
is what's in the book,

any suggestions?

I don't think we'll be able
to fight

fire with fire on this one.

Well, Markus knows more
about him than anybody.

Well, it's worth a try.

You in?

To save Portland?
Hell, yeah.

That's him.

Where did you get this?

That is not important.

What is important is we need
to find a way to stop him.

- He can't be stopped.
- Well, we have to try.

Now we're going back up
that Mountain.

- You won't find him.
- We're hoping he finds us

after we pick up a few more
of his rocks.

Are you crazy?
You saw what happened!

We want you to go back
up there with us.

Don't you understand?

This is a force of nature.

Might as well try and stop
a hurricane.

- Where does he come from?
- I don't know.

Somewhere inside the Mountain.

Trust me, I tried.
I could never find out.

How does he find the ones
who steal from him?

He knows somehow.

He... he's connected
to the earth

in a way I-I still
don't understand.

Come on, you've been living
in the mountains for years.

You must have learned something.
Yeah!

I learned that I could stay
there till hell freezes over,

wouldn't make a difference.

Markus, now he killed
your wife.

Don't you want to do something
about that?

Of course I do.

I would give my life

to do something about it.

I am not afraid of dying.

I know you're not, Markus.

So what's it gonna take?

What do you mean?

To make hell freeze over.

- Take the rocks from closest ***.
- How many?

A lot.

We really want to get
this guy's attention.

Maybe we should have brought,
like, a priest

or a rabbi or something,
you know?

Just to be on the safe side.

- There is no safe side.
- Yeah, especially not here.

Let's go!

You took the words right out
of my mouth.

Okay, so what do we do
with the rocks?

Put 'em in the middle
of the room.

He'll go for them first.

What'll he go for second?

Us.

Okay, so, the rocks are
in the middle,

and, uh, don't you think
you should be

stepping a little further away
from them?

I stand next to them.

What, do you mean like bait?

Yeah.

Which way will he come from?

No telling.

Hope you're right
about hell freezing over.

Hopefully 346 degrees
below zero is enough.

I wonder how long
before he'll...

I mean, maybe he won't even...

is it getting hot in here?

What the hell?
I'm sorry.

I-I didn't mean to say "hell."
I... just...

Oh, God!

Unh!
Get a grip.

Get a grip.

I stole your rocks,
you bastard!

Come get me.
Come on!

You killed my wife,

now try me!

Now!
Do it now!

Think we should read him
his rights?

Yeah...

Last rites.

Thanks.

I needed that.

- It's like black glass.
- Like obsidian.

So that's where
that comes from.

Keeping Portland weird.

I kept trying to
find the perfect moment, but...

It never came.

And I think the thing is,

we have to make this
our perfect moment.

Juliette...

Will you be my wife?
