Grimm (2011–2017): Season 2, Episode 6 - Over My Dead Body - full transcript

Yeah?

Hello, my sweet.

Who is this?

Don't tell me you've forgotten
the sound of my voice.

I could never forget
anything about you.

I thought maybe you were
still upset about Vienna.

How could anyone be upset
about Vienna?

I'd like to make it up to you.

Well, I'd like you
to make it up to me too.

Well, it just so happens
I'm on my way back from Tokyo.

Thought I'd stop by.

I'm staying at the deluxe.

Something smells good.

I hope so. What's in the bag?

It's a burger and fries.

Well, get rid of it.

Oh, no.
I don't want to intrude.

You can't intrude
if you're invited.

I made one of your favorites.

Chicken cilantro tagine...
you remembered.

Actually, I didn't.

But "Nick loves"
was written on the recipe

in my handwriting, so I thought
it would be a good call.

You know, I may never remember
who you were, but...

I'd like to get to know
who you are.

So I figured this would be
a good place to start.

What can I do to help?

Mmm.

Magnifique.

Hey, how about
we get out of here?

How about you buy me
another drink?

enough gas ♪

♪ it ain't got enough gas
to get me fast ♪

♪ far away from you ♪

♪ I paid my dues
in other towns ♪

♪ here I just blow a fuse ♪

You're a pretty good dancer.

You know,
I'm celebrating tonight.

Oh, yeah?
What are you celebrating?

Got a big job.

You're the way
I want to celebrate.

You got a tight, little ass...

Just the way I like it.

Wow.

You expect a lot
for three beers.

And the chicken fingers.

All right, look,
before you get the wrong idea,

I got to go.

Maybe it's you
who gave me the wrong idea.

This is my gig.
I got to take this.

Thanks for the beer...

And the chicken fingers.

Mmhmm.

You owe me.

Just cool it, all right?

Let's not take this
anyplace you'll regret.

You just keep
digging this hole deeper.

I like that.

That's better.

Well, if you like that,
you're going to love this.

We, it sort of makes us even.

Not with us, it doesn't.

2x06
- Over My Dead Body -

Can I just say that

you look beautiful?

Well, you look beautiful too.

Cheers.

I love your home.

Oh, thank you.

You have quite
a collection of clocks...

Of course.

Which one is your favorite?

Oh, well, that's like asking,

which one's your favorite child,
you know?

But it's this one...

Right here.

Straight out
of the black forest.

This particular clock

was carved in freiburg in 1862

by my great-great-great...
might be off a great...

Grandfather.

And here's
the most unique thing about it.

Okay, first,
it's a key-wound shelf cuckoo.

With an eight-day run
on a single wind.

It's got the hand-carved cuckoo

with the moving wings
and everything.

But get this.

Hear that?

It's a baritone.
It's not a tweety.

That is amazing.

So what was Tokyo about?

Family business.

As in, none of mine.

We have no secrets.

Well, maybe a few.

Let's just say
a certain foreign minister

had to be convinced
that putting my family first

was in his own best interest.

I've never agreed with
how your family treated you.

I suspect you have
your own vision of the future.

I've often wondered
if I have any part in it.

So do I.

You ever coming back?

To Vienna?

- To your rightful place.
- Yes.

But only on my terms.

How about your brother's terms?

Eric?

We always find a way
to work things out.

I heard you killed your cousin.

I certainly hope nothing
like that ever happens to me.

Get in.

You've put me in a dilemma.

You killed someone who's
supposedo do aob for me.

He was trying to rape me.

Well, you handled it
rather well.

Makes me wonder
if you've done it before.

Am I wasting your time here?
'Cause I could just leave.

Neat party trick.

Your body temp is elevated,

and your pulse is a little
quicker than it should be,

for someone acting so cool.

We have three options.

You die here.

You do the job
my guy was going to do.

Or we call 911
and report a murder.

But I'm willing
to cut you a break.

You do the same job,
I'll pay you the same money.

How much?

10,000 up front,
10,000 upon delivery.

15,000 on delivery.

And what is it exactly
I'm delivering?

When do you want it done?

You got 24 hours.

Expect this to ring
tomorrow evening.

We'll tell you when and where
to deliver.

Now, you seem smart,
so I shouldn't have toell you.

If you run,

I'll find you.

How did we meet?

I was still in uniform.

And you were a witness
to a hit-and-run accident.

Oh, my God. I remember that.

Oh, that was so awful.

And the guy kept going.

And I got the license.

I remember talking
to a police officer

who I thought was very...
Good-looking.

Was that you? I can only hope.

And then what happened?

Then we started talking.

And, uh...

We sort of never stopped.

I found this at a garage sale.

I don't think they had any idea
who he was,

and he's one
of my absolute favorites.

Who?

Oh, you've probably
never heard of him.

- His name is...
- Hugues Nuages.

You know him?

The virtuoso
Austrian Zitherist.

Yes! Wow!

I'm like...

did you know
that he did all of his solos

with six fingers
because he was born

with two index fingers
on his right hand?

And he only had one leg
because of a sledding accident

in Salzburg when he was
just seven years old.

You're... I'm...

I'm...

oh, hell, I...

we need to talk.

And she needs to go.

Angelina, what are you...

I said we need to talk...

Now.

I don't really know
what's going on here.

Maybe it's just better if I go.

No, no.
You're not going anywhere.

Oh, yes, she is.

Look, I really
don't want to get

in the middle of anything.

You're not.

Fuchsbau?

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I thought you were dead.

What do you think
you're doing here?

I'm here to kill you.

W-wh-wh-what do you mean
somebody wants me dead?

Who could want me dead?

A Konigschlange.

I don't even know
a Konigschlange,

for good reason.

Who is this guy?
Why does he want me dead?

I don't know.

But he's going to pay me
$25,000 to do it.

Well, I hope you
turned him down.

If I would've turned him down,

he would've just gotten
somebody else to do it.

I figured you'd want to know.

Well, I want more
than want to know.

Like, if you don't mind
my asking,

how did you get this job
in the first place?

You know what?
It's a long story.

But look, if I don't do it,
they kill me.

"They"?

Yeah, there was, like,

this little guy
with a gun to my head...

part of the reason
why I couldn't say no.

Angelina, did anyone tell you
why they want me dead?

All I know is that I got
24 hours to deliver you dead.

So I thought I'd come over
and help you pack.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going to find out
who this guy is.

How?

Monroe, I don't have a name.
I don't have a number.

Look, they're going to contact
me tomorrow night.

So you don't have time to start
digging around into your past.

You need to leave.

- No, I'm calling Nick.
- Hey.

You are not calling the Grimm.

He's a cop, Angelina.
He does this all the time.

He also wants
to put me in prison

for a couple of bauerschwein
deaths, in case you forgot.

This is different... it has
nothing to do with you, okay?

This is me.

- Well, good luck, then.
- No, no. You can't leave.

You're the one who saw them.

You got to tell Nick
what they look like.

I'm not telling him anything.

Then why did you even come here

if you're not going to help?

Why don't you just do the job,
take the money?

Maybe I will.

- When did you ask me?
- About five months ago.

Why did I say no? You d.

It's a little weird
for you to tell me how I felt.

You felt
I was keeping things from you.

Were you?

Yeah, it's just Monroe.
I can call him back.

No, you should get that.
It could be important.

Well...

We're kind of important.

I'm not going anywhere.

All right. I'll be quick.

Monroe.

Hey. I need you to come over.

Well, I'm kind of in the
middle of something right now,

so can I come over later?

There might not be a later.

Somebody's trying to kill me.

What?

Nick, I need your help
on this one, man.

Yeah. I'll be right over.

Is he okay?

Uh, doesn't sound too good

Juliette...

This was, uh...

Great.

Go.

Thanks.

How do you know
someone wants you dead?

Well, Nick, this is where
it gets a little awkward.

Well, did you get
a death threat, a-a phone call,

a letter, what?

Not exactly.
It was more personal than that.

Did someone threaten you
face-to-face?

Actually, sort of.

Look, Nick, the person
who was hired to kill me...

and I think you'd agree, Nick,
this shows real character.

This person actually told me

they were being offered
$25,000...

oh, for God's sake, Monroe,
just tell him.

You?

Oh, you remembered.
I'm touched.

Put your hands
behind your back.

You're under arrest.
Angelina, come on, stop, stop.

I told you this was a bad idea.

Nick, she came here, okay?

She didn't have to do that.

She told me about some guy
who wants me dead, okay?

I didn't know
who else to turn to.

She didn't want me to call you.

But I said no, you'd help,
you'd overlook this little...

Thing in her past.

- You mean murder.
- Yeah, well, you know...

We don't have to get
into the details right now.

But the thing is,
there's like 23 hours here

before she's supposed
to kill me.

So, if neither of you
can see fit to put aside

your personal differences,
I guess I'll just wait

till the next hired murderer
shows up at my door.

Maybe I'll be ready,
maybe I won't.

Okay?

Okay, so we got, like,
a truce here or something.

Who wants him dead?

A Konigschlange.

What's his name?

If I knew his name,
I would've told Monroe,

so he wouldn't have to call you.

It's rosalee.

You guys going to be okay here
for, like, a second?

- Yeah.
- Hey, there.

Hang on a second...

When did this guy hire you?

Tonight.

How did he find you?

Well, I killed the guy
that he hired to kill Monroe,

and then he gave the job to me.

You killed someone else
tonight?

Yeah, he was trying to rape me.

So, yeah, he didn't leave me
with much of a choice.

So that's three people
you've killed.

That you know of.

- Hey, rosalee.
- Monroe.

I want to apologize
for leaving so abruptly.

You don't have to apologize
for anything.

I know it's none
of my business,

so you don't have to tell me
anything you don't want to.

No, no. I want to tell you.

It's just...
it's a little awkward right now.

Nick's here.

Nick's there?

Yeah, it's a totally
discombobulated situation.

Well, I just called
to say good-bye.

What? No.

Monroe, my mother called.
My aunt Lois is in the hospital.

She's had a stroke.
It's... it's not looking good.

Oh, man.
I'm sorry to hear that.

Is there anything I can do?

Yes.
I have to leave town right away.

So could you do me a favor

and watch the shop
for a couple days?

Of course.

I'd... I'd be glad to.

Did you know
she killed another guy tonight?

- Can I call you back?
- Sure.

Okay. Bye.

Yeah, she killed a guy
who was hired to kill me.

That's how she got the job,
kind of by default.

They gave her a phone.
Give him the phone.

They're going to contact me
tomorrow night

and tell me where
to deliver Monroe's body.

It's a prepaid.
I can't trace it.

So you understand
why I called you?

She doesn't know who it is.
I don't know who it is.

I mean, I don't even know
who I pissed off.

Yeah, well, you
must have pissed off somebody

at some point.

Look, right now I have
to get you someplace safe

for the next 24 hours.

And I'm going to need you

to show me
where you met these guys.

How do I know that
you're not going to arrest me

as soon as we walk
out the door?

I'm not interested
in you right now.

I'm interested
in helping Monroe.

It's the end up bar.

It's about two hours
north of here.

All right. This is great...

I mean, sort of.

You two setting
your differences aside for me...

I'm actually kind of touched.
Don't be.

It's not over yet.

- I really appreciate you doing this Hank.
- Me too.

Anything else you want me
to be doing?

Right now, no.

I've got one lead
I have to run down.

And I'll call you
as soon as I find anything.

So you all right?

Yeah. You know, pretty good...

Considering someone wants
to kill me.

And no idea who or why?

Nothing that springs to mind.

I mean, there was a time...

it was a long time ago...

- you want a drink?
- God, yes.

You know, Monroe's convinced
that you can figure out

who this guy is,
but I'm not so convinced.

Do you have any idea
why they'd want to kill Monroe?

They wouldn't say.

But if they're willing to pay me
25 "g" s to do it,

there's got to be
a long list of people

lining up for it after me.

There is no "after you."

No, we take care of this now.

This is great.
This is... this is really...

it's, like, smooth and peat-y.

Can I ask you something?

Uh, sure.

I'm still trying to understand
how this whole thing works.

Yeah.

It can be kind of confusing
for the layperson.

I know.

When you do
that change thing, does...

Woge.

Woge.

Okay.

Does it hurt?

A little bit.
You get used to it.

If you were to do it
right now, could I see you?

Yes and no.

What does that mean?

Well...

There's sort of two versions.

One is you're all emotional
or stressed out,

and the other is, like,
you're just...

Really pissed off.

In other words,
if I don't want you to see me,

you can't.

But if I do,
believe me, you will.

But Nick can see you even
if you don't want to be seen.

Hmm.
That's what makes him different.

That's why he's
kind of dangerous for us.

- Hmm.
- You know what?

I'm going to try to explain this
using a visual aid.

Okay.

Okay.

You look the same.

Precisely.

Now, this time,
I want you to remember...

It's just me.

Okay?

I want you to see me.

Whoa!

It's okay. It's just me, right?

That was amazing.

Well...

Can you do it again?

Stay here.

Nick Burkhardt, Portland p.D.

What brings you up here?

I got some intel
on this murder.

Might be related
to a case I'm working on.

You I.D. The Vic?

He had no I.D. On him.

And his face
was pretty chewed up.

Took the body in,
could have an I.D.

In a couple hours
off his prints.

Looks as if a few people
beat the hell out of him

with an ax or a pipe.

Motive appears to be robbery,
since he had nllet on him.

I don't think so.

It was self-defense.

There was only one assailant.

And he probably attacked her
from behind.

"Her"? Who are you?

His partner.

Now, if you'll, uh...

if you'll look
at these footprints right here,

that's the bigger print,
that's the smaller one.

Now, if you'll notice
the bigger one is

behind the smaller print,
and they're both facing

in the same direction.

It was quick. It was brutal.

And he probably got
what he deserved.

Now, if that's what
actually happened,

she probably took advantage
of the situation.

You know, she took the cash
out of his wallet

and tossed it.

Now, let's see,
if she was right-handed,

she bent down over here,

she'd probably throw it
as far away from the bar

as she could...

So we couldn't find it.

Come on, boys.

I think I got something.

You got one hell
of a partner here.

I know this piece of dirt.

Buxton Jacobs,
he's been in and out...

rape, assault, you name it.

Can't say I'm sorry to see
he got what he deserved.

Must've been one kick-ass woman
to take him on.

I think we're done here.

Easy on the eyes too.

You're one lucky cop.

Yep. That's me.

Pretty cute.

I thought you were interested
in the truth.

He had it all wrong.

Somebody
had to set him straight.

What'd you pick up?

The dirtbag's cell phone.

The last call he got
was from the guy who hired him.

I didn't even think about it
until we got here.

You know
how to work that thing?

It's a lot easier
to solve a crime

if you're the one who did it.

Yeah, this is
Detective Burkhardt.

I need to get an I.D.

Off of a Washington state
phone number.

Is he the Konigschlange?

No, that's the little guy
that put the gun to my head.

All right, this is
how it's going to work, then.

You're going to go in alone.

If he knows the cops
are on to him,

we're not going to find out
anything.

But I want to hear
the conversation.

Can I go now?

How are you going
to handle this?

I'm going to use my charms.

What the hell
are you doing here?

You're setting me up. Why?

I'm not setting you up.

I could kill you right now
and walk away from this.

Look, the 25 grand is good.
This is legit.

You think he would have
given you ten grand

if this was a setup?

Why does he want him dead?

If you want me to kill him,
I want to know why.

Otherwise, this could all
come down on me.

So is it personal,
or is it business?

It's none of yours,
in either case.

All right. Take it easy.

I'll tell you what I know,
but you keep it to yourself.

Okay, so why?

He's friends with a Grimm.

What Grimm?

All I know is
there's one in Portland.

And he's friends with this guy
we're going to hit.

So your boss wants
to send a message?

He doesn't care.
He's been hired.

By who?

I don't know that stuff.

But someone decided
to kill this guy

to set an example...

working with a Grimm
is not good for you.

So how'd it go last night?

No action here.
Learned a lot, though.

- So did you find out anything?
- I did.

But I've got to talk
to Hank first.

What's going on?

You remember Angelina Lasser?

That arson case we had.
You don't forget one like that.

Yeah, trust me,
not even if you want to.

She was the one
hired to kill Monroe.

That's how we found out.
She warned him.

What?

She's in my car, Hank.

I've been working with her,

trying to figure out
who's behind this.

- She's wanted for murder.
- I know.

And I think we're going
to have to overlook that

until this is over.

You kidding me?

Look, Hank, I know.
But she could have run.

She didn't have
to tell me anything.

As a matter of fact,
she could have killed me

and taken the 25 grand.
She's just trying to...

- this is really pushing it.
- I know.

If you're not okay with this,
I can work it on my own.

Bring her in.

So I guess you're up to speed

on how the world really works.

Getting there.

You tell him?

Tell me what?

The hit isn't about you.
It's about me.

What?

Looks like somebody
is not very happy

with you being friends
with a Grimm.

What, those same guys
who had me beat up before?

I don't think so,
not for $25,000.

This is a bigger deal.

Well, who, then?

The guy who hired me
is working for somebody else.

- Well, who the hell is that?
- We don't know.

Could be a royal.

Look, I heard there might be
one in Portland.

A royal in Portland? Really?

This is getting kind of
personal, don't you think?

Somebody wants to send
a message to all of us.

She's one too?

Oh, yeah. Blutbad.

All right, look,
the bottom line is,

we're running out of time.

They're going to
contact me tonight.

And if I don't deliver
Monroe's body,

they're coming
after both of us.

And we're not going to find out
who's behind this.

All right, so how
do we deliver a dead Monroe

without killing him?

Dead faint.

What the hell is that?

Monroe?

Hey, rosalee.
So, uh, we have a problem.

I'm in the spice shop
with Nick and Hank...

and me.

Okay.

We need your help, honey.

We wouldn't be here
if we didn't.

You want to let me handle this?

Handle what?

I need your help
with a dead faint.

For who?

You were meeting
with the dragon's tongue.

I was just thinking about you.

What were you thinking?

I was wondering what time
I'd see you tonight.

How about you come to my room
in a couple of hours?

Can't wait.

No, no, and no.
We can't do this.

- Rosalee, we have to.
- It's too dangerous.

He's a Konigschlange.

Yeah.
He'll know if I'm faking it.

Rosalee, how does it work?

Oh.

You ever hear of the poison
in a blowfish?

It's called tetrodotoxin.
It's a sodium channel blocker.

And it paralyzes the muscles,
slowing down bodily functions.

Add green kohler vat,

and for all intents
and purposes, you're dead.

Okay, so it's like
suspended animation.

Unless you don't wake up...
then it's permanent.

Well, it's going to be
permanent anyway,

if they get to him.

I don't want to live my life

looking over my shoulder,
you know?

And I'm not interested
in leaving Portland.

I got a lot of good things
going on here.

There are some problems,
you know.

One, you wake up too soon,
in which case, I don't know,

they kill you.

The other is,
you don't wake up at all.

I guess in that case,
I get the money.

- And which would you prefer?
- What do you think?

Was the dead faint your idea?

Actually, it was mine.

Okay, what are the chances
of him not waking up?

I don't know.

I don't know.
I've only seen it done once.

- And what happened that time?
- I never found out.

It was something my dad did,
and he never talked about it.

Well, I'm willing
to take the risk.

Monroe...

Please, I...

I can't. I can't.
I can't do this.

Listen,
if we don't catch this guy,

all of Nick's friends
are going to be at risk, okay?

And that includes you.

I am not going
to let that happen.

- It's him.
- Rosalee, hold on a second.

Take it.
Hold it so I can hear it.

Yeah.

Is it done?

Yeah, I've been sitting
on the body for over an hour.

Can we get this done?

I'd like to get paid.

Drive to lake forest,
South entrance,

three Miles in.

Repeat it.

Lake forest, South entrance,
three Miles in.

Rosalee, we don't have
much time here.

- Where is she?
- She just left the hotel.

Her plane's still on the tarmac.

She just filed a flight plan.

You have to drink it all...

Then lie down.

Well...

Here's looking at you, kids.

What does that mean?

"Hopefully not
for the last time."

If he doesn't wake up
in two hours,

you have to respirate him.

If his face goes white
or his hands start to curl,

he's running out of time.

I got it.

Monroe...

Don't worry.

I'll be fine.

I'm here.

You see anybody?

Uh...

Just trees.

And how's Monroe?

I don't know.
He looks dead to me.

Oh, okay,
I got lights coming at me.

Yeah, it's them.

He's driving up.
I'm getting off.

Hank, whatever goes down
out here tonight...

yeah, I know... off the books.

Show me.

He's dead. Can I get paid now?

When the body's delivered.

The body is right here.

When the body's delivered
to who's paying for it.

I'm just here
to make sure he's dead.

How long I got to hang around
for that, huh?

Yeah, I'm here.

I checked him. He's dead.

They're right there.

We've got another car
coming in.

What do you keep
looking at him for?

He's dead.

So...

You're the Blutbad
that did this.

No compunction killing
your own kind...

I admire that.
