Grimm (2011–2017): Season 5, Episode 13 - Silence of the Slams - full transcript

A down on his luck Luchador receives a special mask that will make him the star he's always wanted to be. Misuse, however, leads to terrible consequences. Meanwhile, Eve believes something is amiss with Dixon's assassination.

Previously on Grimm...

I don't care if
this is a mistake.

I love you.

Still wanna call the cops?

Tony! No!

Holy crap.

Check it out.

I think it's bronze.
Those look like keyholes.

Seven locks, seven keys.

Little bastard. He bit me!

Okay. There'd better
be something inside that.

This does not look good.

I think it's infected.
How does it feel?

It hurts.

It's a stick?

Looks like a stick.

I don't...

Uh...

- Whoa! Hey!
- Hey, buddy.

You all right?

What's happening?

It's getting better.

What did you do?

It closed up.

Yeah, the wound just
kind of faded away.

- But how...
- Uh...

Did that really just happen?

I can't believe it.
How do you feel?

Fine, I think.

However it happened,
it's not normal.

The last thing that happened
was I grabbed you.

With the stick in your hand.

So, we're thinking
this is some kind of

healing stick-magic
wand thing?

What about the cloth
it was wrapped in?

It had some kind
of writing on it.

I couldn't tell
if it was writing or not.

Yeah, but that could
just be marks.

If it is writing, maybe
it tells us what that thing is.

Even so,
it might not be the stick.

It could be the cloth
or even the box.

Okay, but if it is the piece
of wood, what does that mean?

It doesn't mean anything until
we figure out how it works.

Well, until we know,
it's not a good idea

to have it fall
into the wrong hands.

Yeah, which would explain why they
buried the thing in the first place.

For right now,
nobody can know about this.

So we keep this
to ourselves, right?

I mean, we don't tell anyone.

No one.

Ironically, just like
the Crusaders agreed

when they buried this
thing 800 years ago.

Well, obviously they had no
idea how to deal with it either.

At least until we figure out

how to figure out what it is
we're dealing with.

Just looking at you
makes my back hurt.

After 40 years, I'm used to it.

What's this one?

Cabeza Olmeca.

Am I supposed to know
what that is?

The Olmecas?

First Mesoamerican civilization?

They carved these colossal
heads out of stone.

Don't you care
anything for your history?

Look, all I care about
is Kawama. Is he done?

Yeah, he's done, but you gotta
take better care of him, man.

It looks like you
gave him a camionazo.

Come on, man, English.

I feel sorry for you, man.

I can't believe your parents
never taught you Spanish.

That's because they really
didn't speak Spanish either.

Hey.

Good luck tonight.

Yeah, whatever.

Something wrong?

I'm just sick of being a jobber.
Why?

Tired of losing to guys
I could beat

with both hands tied
behind my back.

You get paid to lose, m'hijo. What
could be better? No pressure.

I'm sick of people
thinking I'm a loser.

You think winning is the answer?

I started fighting 'cause I
wanted to be like those guys.

El Liberador, Tornado Tejano.

The guys I grew up watching
when I was a kid.

I wish I could wear
something cool like that.

Well, that type of mask
is very expensive.

But they never lost.

There were other costs
to their victories.

If I had a mask like that,
I would win.

I believe it
You remind me of them.

Soul of a fighter.

How much are they?

They're one of a kind.
Special order.

How much?

Half of what you earn.

Half? Are you crazy?

You're not ready for a mask like
that till price doesn't matter.

Thanks.
I'll see you later.

All the
way from San Antonio, Texas.

Weighing in at 190 pounds,

tenemos Kawama!

Kawama!

Please give it up for the man
you've been waiting for,

from our own Rose City,

weighing in at 215 pounds.

Mayordomo.

You got served!

Mayordomo!

Fantastic job out
there tonight, buddy.

You made Mayordomo
look fantástico!

Did you hear that crowd?
They loved him tonight!

What a killing!

Hey.

Hey, what's this?

You tore up your mask?

I'm better than him.

Yeah, so?

I can beat him!
Buddy,

that's not why I'm paying you.

You're not in that ring
to make you look good,

you're in that ring
to make Mayordomo look good.

I'm tired of it!

Too bad. You can boo-hoo-hoo
all the way to the bank.

Now, you better get this fixed.

Without a new mask, you're not
getting back in that ring.

Just give me one shot
to prove myself.

Listen, buddy,

you're just not
headliner material, I mean...

Your technique is solid, but you
just don't have the pizazz.

Plus, you don't speak Spanish.

How come your parents never
taught you how to speak Spanish?

Hey, look, you wanna quit?
I understand.

I can't give you what you need.
No hard feelings.

So, you either get a new mask
or adiós, muchacho.

Open the door.

It's late.
What are you doing here?

Look, I don't care
about the price anymore.

Hey. You need to
think this over.

You're too upset.

Go home. Get some sleep.

No. I don't want to think anything over.
I want to win.

What's that?

The contract.

For what?
The mask.

I have to sign
a contract for a mask?

And you have to
sign it in blood.

You're kidding.

I wouldn't kid
about a mask like this.

What is this,
some kind of magic?

Something like that.

What does it say?

It says you'll pay me half of what
you earn for as long as you wear it.

And then when you're done,
you have to return it to me.

I'm gonna win, right?

Of course.

When do I get it?

I'll have something
for you tomorrow.

All right.

I see what you're doing.

Obviously in self-defense.

The hell do you want?

Your face.

Get lost, old man.

Hi.
Hi.

How's Kelly?

Good, just got him down.

So, where have you been? I thought
you'd be home before now.

Oh, I had to go to
the precinct first.

Oh.

So, how was Germany?
Did you find anything?

Well, we think we found
where it was buried.

Whatever it is, we just found a
bunch of bones in a catacomb.

So, you didn't
find out what it was?

No.

Well, I'm glad you're home.

Yeah.

You hungry?

Uh, no, just tired.

Hey, uh, while you were
gone, I was thinking.

That stuff we made for me
was just a suppressant.

Yeah, I know.

So, what happens
when it wears off?

If you become
a Hexenbiest again?

Yeah, how would
you feel about that?

We just never talked
about that before.

I don't know.

I mean, we have Kelly
to think about now.

What are you worried about?

That you'll throw us out.
Or kill me.

Oh, I could say
the same thing about you.

Look, if and when that happens,

we'll just deal with it.

I mean, you're not what you
used to be, and we have a son.

Yeah.

I don't wanna talk about
this anymore. Let's just go to bed.

Somebody shot him!

Hey!

Oh, my God!

ID'd the Vic.
Name is Patrick Defonte.

Witnesses?
Not yet.

Who found him?

Mr. Leonard,
lives across the street.

On his way home from work, he took
a shortcut through the alley,

found him like this.

Apparently, someone knew
what they were doing.

They removed the skin
with surgical precision.

You thinking doctor?

Of the Frankenstein variety.

Looks like he took
his face off in one piece.

This takes a facelift
to a whole other place.

Is it ready? You have it?

Yes. I worked all night.

I haven't created
a mask like this for years.

I think you'll have much
success with this one.

Oh...

I've never seen
anything more beautiful.

Are you sure this is
what you want to do?

Oh, yeah.

I wanna try it on.

It's perfect.

Tell me how it feels.

WOW.

This is amazing.

It feels different.

Take it off.

Already?
Yes.

This mask should never again
be worn outside the ring.

It has accepted you.

Now, you must respect its power.

Hey.
Thank you.

Juliette?

Nick would have told you by now.

Eve.

I understand you're
working with Meisner now.

We didn't see it.

See what?

That he was gonna
be assassinated.

Yeah, well,
no one saw that coming.

We should have.

You wanted him to be mayor,
you supported him.

Why?

He was a good man.

Somebody asked you to.

His team.

Wait. We're done?

For now.

You know, there's a lot
more we could talk about.

Right now, that's all I need.

Looks like flayed faces are
not that unusual.

Victims have been found in other
cities, going back a long way.

Any more in Portland?
Two.

Neither solved. One goes back
seven years, the other 12.

So, either we have
a very methodic serial killer

or they're not connected at all.

Got anything on Patrick Defonte?

Originally from Idaho,

looks like he came
to Portland here about 1999

when he got
his driver's license here.

A couple of misdemeanors, drunk
and disorderly, and assault.

He was pretty active.

Well, apparently he was
at the Rainbow Bar

just down the street
from where his body was found.

M.E. completed
Patrick's autopsy.

He had a lot of
alcohol in his system.

Three times the legal limit.

So he was tanked.

But he died from asphyxiation.

They found neurotoxic
venom in his system,

which caused paralysis, inhibiting
his diaphragm from contracting.

How did that happen?

M.E. has no clue.

But the report suggests

the skin of the victim's face was
removed while he was still alive.

You remember the case we handled
with the alien sightings?

Yeah.

The missing cow ovary mystery.
Never figured that one out.

Well, actually, we did.

Missing cow ovaries?
Where was I?

Vacation.
What now?

Yeah, I can't explain how the victim
had neurotoxins in his system.

But maybe he's Wesen?

So, we think the murderer is one of
these taxidermist Wesen hunters?

Wouldn't be our first.

Let's run it by Monroe
and Rosalee.

If they found
neurotoxins in the victim,

you might be dealing
with something else.

Like what?

Konigschlange.

But there's lots of Wesen
with neurotoxic capabilities.

What do you know
about the victim?

Someone took his face.

Come again?
Surgically removed it.

We think the attacker
has got to be Wesen.

How will we explain the neurotoxins
injected into the victim?

I brought you a couple of
photos of the victim.

Before and after.

Oh.

Oh, my God!
I know, it's awful.

No, I know this guy!
Patrick somebody.

He did construction on the old Telegram
Building during the renovation

when I was working
on the clock tower.

I saw him at the job site
a bunch of times.

He's kind of a jerk.

Was he Wesen?
Oh, yeah.

Balam.

He got in my face a couple of
times until I Blutbaded him.

Then he kept his distance.

So the attacker is Wesen
and so is the victim.

Oh. Xipe Totec?

Maybe.

Being left in the dark here.

"Xipe Totec,
worshiped by Aztec warriors,

"was known to flay his victims
and wear their skin.

"It was believed that in doing
so, he absorbed their power.

"Warriors imitated Xipe Totec
and created skin masks

"to help them gain strength
during battle.

"This practice has been adapted

"into present day
by Santeria priests,

"or Santeros, mostly
comprised of Víbora Dorada."

Well, that would explain
the neurotoxins.

'Cause they paralyze their
victims so the Wesen stay Woged.

"The Santeria priest
flays the Wesen epidermis

"and imbues the mask
with the ability

"to transfer Wesen
attributes onto its owner

"through the mask,
even Kehrseite."

You know, I did some research on
Santeria potions a while ago.

Thought it would be
good for business.

And I met a couple of old-school
Santeros here in Portland.

Well, do you think you could figure
out how it works or who did it?

If they're still around.

So a Kehrseite can
technically become a Wesen?

In face only.

Well, if Patrick was Wesen,

then this Vibora Dorada might be
trying to make his face into a mask.

Yeah, we got to find this guy.

Here, take a look at this.

Well, well, well,
what do we have here?

Glad to have you back, buddy.

I knew you wouldn't look
a gift luchador in the mouth.

What?
Never mind.

Hey, where's Kawama?

Kawama's dead.

From now on, Tigre Feroz.

Hey, hey, hey! A little español.
Yeah. Proud of you, buddy.

Wow.

Looks so real.

Well, get your El Tigre listo.

You may be a loser,

at least that mask is a winner.

We have a new luchador with us.

El Tigre Feroz.

We all know he doesn't
stand a chance

against the undefeated

Mayordomo!

You're supposed to
be following my lead.

Not anymore. I'm doing what I
should've done a long time ago.

Seems like Mayordomo got up
on the wrong side of the bed.

Pero, no worries,
he'll make a comeback!

Tigre!

It worked.

It worked.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Nothing.

I can't believe you did this.

You.

- Can you believe that idiot?
- Idiot?

He's a genius!

What?

Did you hear that crowd?

What are you saying?

He totally pulverized your
culo, and they loved it!

Can't you hear 'em?

They're still going nuts.

And you!

Oh, I gotta hand it to you,
that was bold.

And I would've killed you had the
crowd not loved every second of it!

Are you serious?

Tomorrow night,
you are the headliner.

We're not done here.

Yeah.

I did it!

It's all happening.
I can't believe it.

So you won?

Won? I crushed him.

Not that I couldn't have anyway.

I felt different.

Like I had power.
Real power.

You should put that away now.

There was nothing
that could stop me.

I know.
Did you bring the money?

Yeah.

Half of what I made tonight.

Just remember,

never wear that mask
outside the ring.

You already told me that.

I'm telling you again.

Don't worry,
I know what I'm doing.

No, you don't know
what you're doing.

As long as I have this, I do.

Hey. You screwed me.

You lost. Live with it.

Boy, I should beat you senseless

for that crap you pulled today.

Yeah. Do that, you'll be costing
the boss a lot of money.

Go home.

Yeah, you might get
to headline one match,

but I'm gonna kill you
in that ring tomorrow.

You ain't killing nobody.

Did Benito make this for you to
give you a little confidence, huh?

Make you feel like a big man?

Give it back.

What, are you powerless
without this ugly thing?

El Tigre Feroz?

Oh.

You shouldn't have done that.

You know what? Maybe we'll
have that match right now.

You're gonna be El Tigre Nada.

Anyone get a look
at the attacker?

Negative. But I did ID the Vic.
Turns out he's James Vasquez.

His fans know him
as El Mayordomo.

The luchador?

As in Mexican wrestler?
Apparently.

We found his car
parked down the street,

but he doesn't live
anywhere around here.

Gym bag inside with
his mask and costume.

I wanna take
a look at that mask.

Thanks.

Looks like it's made of leather.

Not what we're looking for.

Let's see where he worked.

This mask should
never again be worn outside the ring.

Sorry I'm late.

I gotta show you something.

They love you.

But I didn't save Andrew's life.

But you caught his killer.
Did I?

Of course you did.

And the newspapers say so,
so it must be true.

Look, Dixon served a purpose
for a greater good.

You killed him to further
your own agenda.

Most agendas include death.

There's more than
one life at stake here.

You're doing
the right thing by joining us.

No, I haven't joined
anybody yet.

To win, we think
you'll need to have a family.

Are you proposing?

Or are you pregnant?

No. And no.

You don't need me for that.
You already have a daughter.

How do you know about that?

And Adalind's the mother.

I can't believe
Mayordomo's dead.

Did he have any enemies?

Yeah, I'm sure he had lots.

I didn't pay any attention.

I don't get involved in their
personal lives if I can avoid it.

They're a mess.
May he rest in peace.

You know, it would be helpful
if you had a few names for us.

Well, yeah, I think he got into
it pretty good tonight with Goyo,

but, yeah, you know,
nothing out of the ordinary.

What happened?

Well, Goyo beat his ass
in the ring tonight

and Mayordomo wasn't
happy about it.

Doesn't that happen every fight?

Well, no.

No, you see, these fights have
a certain context to them.

Good guy, bad guy.

Mayordomo doesn't usually lose.
He's not supposed to.

But tonight, he lost.

In a pretty spectacular way.

So, yeah, Mayordomo's
pretty upset with Goyo.

Goyo, he was struttin' around real
good in that new mask tonight.

New mask? What kind of mask?

Oh, it was beautiful.

Called himself El Tigre Feroz.

Kind of a black tiger.

You know who made the mask?

Well, uh...

Yeah, I think he goes to Benito.
Most of the guys do.

Do you have an address
for Goyo and Benito?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
I'll go get 'em for you.

Rosalee.

Hey, Nick,
I found one of the Santeros.

This guy told her something really
super scary about these masks.

What's that?

He said these masks
are incredibly powerful.

If you're not careful how you use
them, you will lose your mind.

Is there any way to stop it?

There's a few options. I mean,
there's a ceremony for everything.

Thank you.

It won't come off!
It won't come off!

I warned you not to wear
that mask outside the ring.

Get it off me! Get it off!

What have you done?
Ah!

Cut it off, burn it off!

Do whatever you have to do!
Just get it off me!

I told you.

It can only be removed with
the Ceremonia de Desgracias!

I don't care. Just do it!

Imbecile.

Is that
what you want? Don't let him.

You'll lose it forever.

You have to stop him.
He will destroy you.

Don't listen to the mask, Goyo.

It's me.
I'm trying to help you.

You sure this is
the right address?

Yeah. Looks like.

I can't get the mask off him.

We can't take him to
the precinct like this.

The only way to save him is...

How?

The Ceremonia de Desgracias.

I mean, then, of course,
there's Moses and Aaron,

their rods and staffs had
various miraculous powers

during the plagues of Egypt.

You know, in the book of Exodus.
The...

And God commanded Moses to part
the Red Sea, yada yada yada.

"Yada yada yada"?

That's Aramaic,
if I'm not mistaken.

Actually, it is.

Wow, that was good.
Yeah.

I didn't know you knew that.
I'm fluent.

I know now.

Nick, what's up?

We got a problem.

Are you okay?

We found the Víbora Dorada.

You caught the Víbora Dorada?

Yeah, but that's not
the problem. He's dead.

It's the guy with the mask.
We can't get it off his face.

Ooh. Jeepers creepers,
that doesn't sound good.

You said there's a ceremony
for everything.

You ever hear of
the Ceremonia de Desgracias?

Actually, I have, it's one of the
ones the Santero told me about.

I think that's the only way we're
gonna get the mask off him.

This guy's too dangerous
to move.

We can't risk
taking him any place!

Well, then, I guess, text us the
address and we'll come to you.

So much for making tea.

Okay. Okay.
It's not crazy complicated.

All right, first,
the elekes, beads.

Then the cowrie shells,
the diloggun.

Got 'em.

And then we need the herbs, Datura
metel and Datura stramonium.

That this?
Yes.

That that?
Yes.

This.
Yes.

Oh, I need that.

At least we don't need
a chicken.

- Okay.
- How's it going in there?

- Okay. You ready?
- Can we bring him in?

Ready.
Okay. Bring him in!

Hold him down at
the center of the circle.

I have to pour this on his face.

Okay.
Seriously?

That's not boiling, is it?

According to this, it's the
only way to get that thing off.

Okay, here we go.
Hold him.

I got him!

Now what?

I don't know, it's the first
time I've ever done this.

Well, how do we know
if it works?

Well, supposedly, the mask
is just gonna come off,

and be released
from the possessed

and return to
its natural form, I think.

What if it takes, like, hours?

It won't.

Okay, there is a chant.

I'm not that good at Spanish,
but here it goes.

I think it's working.
Keep going.

Is he alive?
Yeah. He's breathing.

What happened?

Who are you?

Where's Benito?

Benito's dead.

Oh, my God. No.

No, no.
Do you remember anything?

I didn't mean to.

It was the mask.

I tried to take it off,
but it wouldn't come off.

He's not the only one
you killed.

What?

Mayordomo.

No, please,
you have to believe me.

The mask told me to do it.

They're trying to protect me.

- Don't let him do it.
- The voices! The voices.

They were protecting me.

The voices.

You hear them, don't you?

Goyo, you need me!

Oh, get it away from me!
Get it away!

Get it away!

Wow.
Oh, my God.

It's Patrick.

Well, now we can put
a face to the name.

By the time he
realized the mask had possessed him,

it was too late.

The face of the Wesen proved more
powerful than the man beneath it.

And I discovered the only
way to remove the mask

was through
the Ceremonia de Desgracias,

a brutal and painful process to reverse
the work of the Víbora Dorada.

But even though
this was successful,

I believe when subjected to multiple
personalities at the same time,

the human mind
has only one escape,

to go completely mad.

- Hello?
- Hello, Ada/ind.

Sean?

It's been a long time.

What do you want?

Something that you want, too.

Don't play games, Sean.

I think I know
a way to get back Diana.
