Grimm (2011–2017): Season 5, Episode 15 - Skin Deep - full transcript

A beauty regimen proves deadly for a young woman, who seems to have aged 70 years when Nick and Hank find her lifeless body. As they search for proof of Wesen involvement, they are led to a...

Previously on Grimm...

You want to tell me
what's going on?

Dixon was meant to die,

and you were meant to kill
the man that killed him.

We could make you the most
powerful man in the city.

Gallagher's
poll numbers are down 25%.

Sean, we're running out of time.

You need to commit. You're
either in or you're out.

You can win this.

And a whole lot more.

Have you seen this lipstick?
It's all over YouTube.

Glossy lipstick is all the rage.

Oh, and this mascara is amazing.

I heard of this stuff.
It looks pretty good.

That's super cute on you.

You've got an amazing look.

I'm sorry. That sounded really creepy.

My name's Malcolm Caulfield. I'm
a professional photographer.

I shoot a lot of commercials
and you have a great look.

If you're interested, I'd love
to shoot some test shots.

Unless you're already
represented by an agency,

then I could just
go through them.

She's not represented by anybody.
Neither am I.

Here.

Take a look at my website.
You can see what I do.

If you're interested,
give me a call.

Either way,
thanks for your time.

Yeah, you really do
have an amazing look.

Oh, my God, give me that card. I'm
checking out his website right now.

Oh, no, I can't do this.

You can if he's legit.

Are you smiling?

Are you smiling?

Yes, you are.
I think you're smiling.

What are you thinking?

I know you don't have
any language skills,

but that doesn't matter

you're gonna have to talk
to me sooner or later,

so enough of
this silent treatment, okay?

Can you say, "Daddy"?

Huh? How about "Mama"?

Can you say "Grimm"?

I think he's a little young
for that last one.

How's he doing?

Pretty good.

Hey. Well, he must
be getting hungry

because I am getting hungry.

That's your phone,
you want me to answer it?

Yeah, he's holding me down right now.
Aren't you holding me down?

Nick Burkhardt's phone.

Adalind?

Ju... Uh...

Eve.

How are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I need to talk to Nick.

It's Eve.
I think we should trade.

Here you go.

There you go, bud.

Yeah?

I have more information for you.
Can you come here now?

Can it wait?

No.

All right, I'm coming over.

Well, that was creepy.
Is that how she is now?

Yeah, she talks just about
as much as Kelly.

Look, I have to...

I heard.

Guess we'll sleep well tonight.

Summer?

Yeah, it's me.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm just finishing up here.

All right, I'm ready.

Wow. Those are really nice.
Yeah?

This is what we're going to be doing.

Ah, great,
you brought some clothes.

Yeah.
Let's get to it.

Can I get you
some water or anything?

Oh, no, I'm good.

Just a little nervous.

Me too.
Let's see what you brought.

Yeah, that's a great color.
Yeah. Let's start with that.

Okay. All right, changing
area's just back here.

Thanks.

All right, let's have you come
out here to the middle of the seamless.

Right here?
Perfect.

Right there on that black dot.
Okay.

Try and forget about it... It's
not a camera, just like...

Just breathe. Just smile.

What should I do with my arms?

Don't tell me
you haven't done this before.

Tilt your head back. Perfect.
There you go. That's right.

Rough your hair up.
I love that.

Okay, eves up.

Drop your shoulder.
Tilt your head back.

That is beautiful.
You're a natural.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Good job.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I can hardly see.

Okay, okay. Yeah,
it gets a little brutal.

Not as glamorous as
everyone thinks it is.

No kidding.

Well, let's take a break.
Let me get you some water.

There you go.

That's great.
Yeah, we can use that.

How am I doing?

You are doing fantastic.

You really think so?
Are you kidding?

You're a natural.

You could have a career.

Really?

Well, you never know in this
business, but it's possible.

So, you think you're ready
for a little bit more?

Yeah, sure.

Beautiful. Great.
Bring your chin up.

Very nice, that's great.

That's perfect.

Can you get your eyes up?

I'm a little dizzy.

Okay, it's probably the lights.

Happens if you're not
used to it.

No, I think I need to sit down.

Yeah, okay.

Go ahead,
take a seat on the couch.

I'm just gonna check the shots.

Summer?

Summer?

Ripped & Corrected By mstoll

You weren't in Portland when
Andrew Dixon was assassinated.

You don't know
what you need to know.

And you're gonna tell me?

That's why you're here.

We identified Marwan Hanano
from a surveillance camera

on west Broadway at 3:57 p.m.,

17 minutes before
he gained access

to the building that
overlooked the park

where the political rally
was being held.

Yeah, I've read the reports.

They don't tell you this.

Seven minutes later, he fired the
shot that killed Andrew Dixon.

I located Hanano
as he was exiting the building

and caused an injury so that he
would be taken to the hospital.

I took his cell phone
and accessed his SIM card.

We had every contact
and every phone number.

With the information
from his phone,

we would have been
able to disrupt

Black Claw's
operations in Portland.

As long as Marwan Hanano
was still alive.

And Renard killed him.

He was supposed to.

What do you mean?

Renard received a call about Marwan
Hanano being in the hospital.

So what?

Marwan had
no identification on him.

His hair had been dyed blond.

No one in the hospital
could have known who he was.

Only someone who knew Hanano
could have made that call.

You think Renard was involved?

If he wasn't,
they were using him.

So you're saying he was set up?

Renard is going
to run for mayor.

There's been
no official announcement.

There will be.

And we better know
who he's involved with.

If you're right

and I make a move on him
and he finds out,

he's gonna know we're onto him.

I don't want you to do anything.

Except tell me
where he's gonna be.

When?
Soon.

That's it?
For now.

Thank you for coming.

Summer?
Wake up, come on.

You fell asleep.

Nap time's over.

Wow. Uh...

I must have really gone out.
Mmm-hmm.

What time is it?

It's a little after 9:00.

You definitely had
enough for one session.

Let me show you
some of these shots.

Wow.

These look amazing.

No, you look amazing.

I'll send some to you.

Holy crap, you're a supermodel.

Why can't I be a supermodel?

You really think they're good?

Good? They're great.

He said he's gonna send them
to some agents.

What?
Nothing.

No, what?

It just looks like
you've got a little wrinkle.

What?
It's nothing serious.

It's just a little wrinkle.

It might have
just been a shadow.

It's not a shadow,
it's on my face.

You just need some moisturizer.

Collin, are you here?
Okay, I'm coming right down.

Where are you going?

I told you.
Drinks with Collin.

Drinks?

You may have the face,

but I got the booty.
See you in the morning.

What? No way.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

My teeth.

How much do you have?

As much as I could make.

When are you gonna
tell me how you get it?

If I told you,
everybody would know.

Oh, I think you can trust me.

I don't trust anybody.

Why? Is this illegal?

No, but once the secret's out,
what would I have?

We need to take this
to the next level.

No, we need to take it slow.

This can get
out of control real easy.

You're using it, aren't you?

I had to make sure you
weren't trying to cheat me.

I told you not to use it.

This could ruin everything.

I think I know what I'm doing.
No, you don't.

This is powerful stuff.
A little goes a long way.

All right, all right.

I won't use it anymore.

See that you don't.

Where's my money?

When do I get more?

When I'm ready.

Morning, superstar.

Summer?

You better not still be in bed.

You look like a man
with something on his mind.

Yeah, well,
I saw Eve last night.

How'd that go?

Is the Captain here yet?
No.

Eve thinks that the Captain
was set up to kill Marwan.

By who?
Black Claw, maybe.

But she thinks the Captain
may have been in on it.

Why?
So he could be the hero.

Are you kidding me?

I was in the Captain's office,
so was Wu.

The Captain's here.

I need to see you both
in my office, please.

I need your opinion
on something.

As you know, I was supporting
Andrew Dixon for mayor.

I truly believe
he would have won.

And Gallagher is not the kind
of guy you want in office.

Now I've been asked to take Dixon's
place by his campaign organization.

- You're talking about running for mayor.
- I am.

Now, I haven't made up
my mind yet. I just...

I'd like to know
what you guys think.

When do you have to
make up your mind?

Soon.

- This is a little sudden.
- I know.

But would you back me
if I said yes?

If you win,
what happens to you here?

Well...

I'd have to resign.

Well, whoever replaces you

won't know how we handle things.

No, they would not.

You know what
you're getting yourself into?

I just know that
we can't have Gallagher.

Well, if this is what you
want, we'll back you.

I appreciate that.
It's Wu.

Got a body.

Eve was right.
Yeah, he's gonna run.

But it doesn't
answer the question.

Was he in on the assassination?

Now if Black Claw's behind this,

they're gonna want him
in a position of power.

Except Captain was with us when we
were attacked at the warehouse.

He could have been killed.

Unless he was in on that too.

I think he's getting played.

Or maybe he's just
taking advantage

of a situation
that's coming his way.

Until we know for sure,
we don't say anything.

We got you.

Doctor, we're ready to open.

How many are there?

A dozen at least.

They've been knocking
for 20 minutes,

I'm surprised they haven't
broken down the door.

Well...

Let's not keep them waiting.

Good morning, everyone. Come on in.
Make sure you sign in.

Hi, ladies. Hi.

- Sign in?
- Yep, right there.

The woman who lives here, Aimee
Diaz, came home this morning

to find a dead body
in her living room.

It's an old lady
she's never seen before.

Was the apartment unlocked?
Nope.

And no sign of a break-in,
on top of that,

her roommate, Summer Blake,
is missing.

She tried calling her cell phone,
but it is right over there.

Tried calling
her parents' house...

A few friends, no luck.

The reason that's
weird is because

her car and purse
are still here.

Mmm.

No visible signs of trauma.

Does the roommate know
who this is?

Well, this is where
we have the weirder part.

Roommate, Aimee,
says this elderly woman

is wearing what roommate,
Summer, was wearing last night.

Right down to the jewelry,
ankle bracelet, and ring.

- How old is Summer?
- Twenty-four.

So there's no way
this is Summer.

Well, not in a normal no way.

But I'm thinking, why would a
woman who's in her, what, 90s

come here sometime last night to
put on Summer's clothes, ring,

and ankle bracelet, just to die?

We'll get
the prints off the body.

Let's see who it is.

Yeah.
Where's the roommate?

Kitchen.

When was the last time
you saw your roommate?

Last night, right here.

That her purse?
Yes.

Her wallet, her id,
everything is still in it.

Nothing was taken?
I don't think so.

Does she have a boyfriend?

- Not right now.
- But she did?

That was six months ago.

His name is Matthew Parks,
but he moved to Australia.

That's one of the reasons
they broke up.

And you weren't here last night?

No, I stayed at
my boyfriend's house.

His name is?
Collin Jones.

You have any idea
who the woman is?

No.

But she must have something to
do with Summer disappearing.

She took her clothes
and her jewelry and...

She must have killed her.
And I don't know...

Why would she want
to kill Summer?

None of this makes any sense.

Who's that?
That's Summer.

A photographer just
took these yesterday.

I can't believe
this has happened.

We were looking
at them last night.

She was gonna be a model and...

She's so beautiful.

Give us a second, please.

No match in the system
for an old lady.

So, you got nothing?

No, I got something.

She had a DUI last year.

Not only is
she wearing her clothes,

she's wearing her fingerprints.

That's Summer Blake?

My friend, Mary Ann Galvin, can't
stop talking about this treatment.

And she looks unbelievable.

Well, in a few minutes,

you won't be able to stop
talking about it, either.

Now...

All I have to do
is shield your eyes...

And turn off the light.

The ultraviolet light
activates the formula.

Is it working?

Well...

Let's see.

You tell me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It's a miracle.

I believe it's a hyper-intensive
form of progeria.

If you're telling me
this is a 24-year-old woman,

that's the only explanation
I've got.

Progeria?

That's an aging disease, right?

Actually a genetic disorder

which causes the nuclei in a
person's cells to become unstable.

The DNA inside
degrades more rapidly,

and that's what causes
the accelerated aging.

Doesn't that usually
happen in kids?

Yes, normally it takes years
to become life threatening.

Never happens this fast.

Is there a possibility
it's contagious?

I hope not, 'cause this would
really freak a lot of people out.

Listen, if I hadn't seen the body
myself, I wouldn't have believed it.

I'll get you some
of the research.

What are the chances
it's progeria?

I would say none.

Can't do the 19th. I'm
shooting a wedding that day.

But I can do
the 21 st or the 23rd.

Yeah, but it's up to you.
I got both available.

Afternoon? Yeah.

It's time to make a change.

Time to restore your true,
youthful self.

Can I call you back?

Shed your old, tired skin, and
restore your true, youthful self?

Hi, I'm Dr. Eugene Forbes.

And with my revolutionary new
fountain of youth treatment,

Foy Cream,

you can literally turn back
the clock on your life.

Call now for an appointment
on your new life.

The phone was crazy today. We're
booked up for six months.

People are going bat crap
for your treatment.

Yeah, I know.

I've locked up.
Anything else you need?

No. Go home.

Well, have a good night.

You too.

I was just about to call you.

Are you crazy?

What's wrong?
The commercial.

Is that your idea
of staying low key?

That was not our agreement. I told
you to stay small, and go slow.

Look, when you have a product
that works this well,

going slow is not really possible.
People love this stuff.

You have no idea
how hard it is to get it.

Well, get some help
because this is gonna be huge.

I can't!

I've already used half the jar
that you gave me last night.

I need more.
No.

I'll make you partner.

Fifty-fifty.

Malcolm, listen to me.

I don't need this.
Yes, you do.

You need me. People trust me.

I just have one of those faces.

Are you listening?

This is worth
millions to both of us.

I promise you.

You'll have your first million
within three months.

I'll see what I can do.

You sure it wasn't a Spinnetod?

Maybe it couldn't find a victim.

They have to consume their victims'
insides in order to stay young.

Ah, I don't think so.

Even when a Spinnetod can't find a
victim, it doesn't age this fast.

Pizza's here.

Any luck?

Not yet.

Napkins.
Just please try to avoid

the greasy fingers on the pages.

Now here's something.

Looks like a journal
from an Egyptian Grimm.

What have you got?

It's in Arabic.

Any translation?

Uh, yeah. Actually yes.

It's called
a musasat alsh-shabab.

Sounds like something
you want to eat.

"I tracked
the musasat alsh-shabab

"through the streets of Cairo
for seven straight nights,

"always too late to catch it.

"But never too late to discover
the victims it left behind.

"All of them aged
beyond their years.

"One of them,
a young man who was,

"I think, no more than 16 years old
because I had seen him before,

"had been transformed into a
wrinkled old man within a few hours.

"I knew I had to catch it
in the act to understand

"how it was able to steal
the youth of its victims.

"On the eighth night, I tracked
the musasat alsh-shabab

"to a small back alley.

"I watched with utter fascination
as it Woged, and it's..."

What?
"Mandibles."

"Pierced a woman's face
as she lay limp in its arms.

"It appeared to suck
something from its victim

"as the cheeks grew ever larger.

"When it finished with the young
woman, it disgorged the yanbue."

So, we don't know what the musasat
alsh-shabab does with the...

Yanbue.
Right.

That it sucks out of people.

Right, here's more.

"And when it melts
into the skin,

"age disappears, but it
becomes highly addictive,

"shattering lives, and making
monsters of those who use it."

Oh, well, there's a happy ending.
Not done.

Sorry.

"Knowing how difficult
it would be to kill,

"I lay in wait
for him in his room.

"After I cut off its head,
I discovered a small fortune

"hidden in the walls,
but I realized only too late

"that he was only
the supplier of the yanbue.

"Now that he was dead, I would never
know who he was selling it to."

At least we know we're dealing
with a big, ugly bug-like dude.

Well, the Grimm in the book
said he was following

the musasat alsh-shabab
for eight nights.

That means there were
a lot of victims.

Then there's probably a lot more
victims than the one we know about.

You ever think about
getting into modeling?

You got to be kidding me, right?

I don't make any money kidding.

Oh, Brian, that's great.
You're a natural.

Could you smile, Brian?
Yeah, that's right.

Good job. Great.

This hyper-accelerated aging
doesn't seem to be too rare.

According to
this research paper,

"Medical abnormality
linked to extreme aging."

There have been
half a dozen cases

in and around the Portland
area in the last three years.

They call it a disease cluster.

Sounds more like our
musasat alsh-shabab.

They name the victim?
Yeah, at the end of the paper.

Any survivors?

No, but there are before
and after photos.

All attacked by
a mysterious disease

that aged them within 48
hours of contracting it.

Call just came in. Car rolled off the road.
Driver dead.

And you're telling us
about a traffic accident why?

Driver appears to be in his
90s, license says he's 19.

Thought you might
want to check it out.

Prints off the body match Brian Grady.
He's the owner of that truck.

According to witnesses, the driver
lost control, ended up here.

Doesn't look 19 to me.

"Malcolm Caulfield,
studio photographer."

Yeah, got a cell phone.

See if we can get the last
numbers called and received.

Yeah.

Didn't the last victim say
they saw a photographer too?

Oh, that's what
her roommate said.

I think we should
talk to this photographer

'cause I don't think this guy's
got a career in modeling.

Looks legit.

What if
he's musasat alsh-shabab?

Well, if he is, he knows
nobody can tie him

to what happened to the victims.

All right, well, how do
you want to handle this?

First we have to figure out if he's
working alone or with somebody else.

You leave the Grimm in the car?

For now.

Come in. I'll be right there.

Listen, I got to go.
Can I call you back tomorrow?

Terrific.
Yeah, looking forward to it.

Can I help you?

Malcolm Caulfield?
Yes.

Detective Burkhardt.
This is Detective Griffin.

What'd I do?

'Cause I don't remember
doing anything bad.

You shoot these photos?

Uh, Summer Blake.
Yeah, I did.

She's a beautiful girl.

Well, is she in
some kind of trouble?

What about Brian Grady?
You take pictures of him?

Yeah, last night.

What's going on?

They're both dead.

What?

How?
Did they know each other?

Not that we know of.

Oh, my God.
This is why you're here.

Look,
I just took pictures of them.

Why?

Well they're both
very attractive young people.

It's what I do for a living.
I discover talent.

I didn't know beauty
qualified as talent.

Talent is in
the eye of the beholder.

A lot of my clients have gone
on to very successful careers.

I mean, look at these faces.

They're naturally beautiful.

And in the right light,
that is about as close

to perfect as
you're ever going to get.

I mean, that is who
we all want to be.

How did they die?
We're not sure.

Where did you meet them?

At Union Way mall.

I meet my clients
in a lot of places.

Malls, parks, streets.
I'm always looking.

You know, you never know when you're
gonna meet that next Heidi Klum.

Look, do you think I had
something to do with this?

Just have to backtrack
everywhere they've been.

If you think of anything
else, give us a call.

A lot of beautiful people
up on those walls.

Kind of like trophies.

Think we can tie any of them to the
ones we found in the medical report?

Well, it's worth a look.

Let's run his phone records.

And put some
surveillance on him.

- Hello?
- Did you get more?

Yeah, but...
Bring it to me.

Look, two cops
were just at my place.

Bring it to me now.

Did you hear what I just said?

I don't care what you just said.

Bring me the stuff now.
This is big business.

My God, you look fabulous.

Doctor, we have a lot
of patients waiting.

I'm coming!

If Malcolm's supplying someone

with something he's taking
from his victims,

more than likely
he would have made a call

after Brian and
Summer left his studio.

Well, then we isolate
the numbers Malcolm called.

All right.

Three different numbers
were called on those dates.

One is a photo supply store.

Another one's a dry cleaners.
And the last one's a clinic.

What kind of clinic?

Beauty treatment.

And he's got his own commercial.

Play it.

It's time to make a change.

Time to restore your true,
youthful self.

Do you ever wish
you could turn back the clock,

shed your old, tired skin, and
restore your true, youthful self?

Hi, I'm Dr. Eugene Forbes.

And with my revolutionary new
fountain of youth treatment,

Foy Cream,

you can literally...

Foy Cream?

We talking Fountain of Youth?

We may have just
found our buyer.

We're gonna need somebody
to check him out.

Yeah.

If this photographer is
the musasat alsh-shabab,

then they might be using the
clinic to sell the yanbue.

So, they've gone mainstream.

This doctor's selling it
out of a spa.

Don't forget, repeated use is
supposed to turn people who use it

into monsters, okay?

So, look, if you go in there,
do not mess with this stuff.

Okay.
What do you want me to do?

See if you can get a sample
of what he's selling.

We take it to the lab.

If it's human-based, we know
we've got the right guy.

Okay.

Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.

Hi, I'm Rosalee Calvert.
I have an appointment at 5:00.

I'm sorry.
I don't see your name.

Huh.
I booked it three weeks ago.

Hmm.

No. I'm sorry,
I don't have you.

Oh, my God. I just drove
all the way from Salem.

I confirmed this. Are you sure
you have the right clinic?

Yeah, the Foy Cream, right?
Dr. Forbes?

Look,
I'll try to squeeze you in,

but you'll have to wait.

Thank you.

You understand the first appointment
is just a consultation?

The fee for
the treatment is $5,000.

No problem.

Then you'll need to
fill out this paperwork.

I got to say,

are you sure you need
this treatment?

Oh. One can never look
too young.

Hi.
Hi.

Have you had this
treatment before?

Oh, no. It's my first time.

I know it's expensive,
but my friends look amazing.

And they're older than me.

What do you think?

You look amazing.

I do, don't I?

Oh, I'm so glad I came.

My husband's gonna think
he's having an affair.

And I might have one myself.

Ms. Calvert?
Dr. Forbes will see you now.

May I take your coat?
Please.

Thank you. This way.

Doctor,
this is the last patient.

Do you need me to stay?

No, I'll lock up.

Okay.

Please have a seat.

I will be with you
in just a second.

Hi. I'm Dr. Forbes.

Rosalee Calvert.

Nice to meet you, Rosalee.

Let's see what we have here.

This special cream you use,
can you tell me what's in it?

Oh, I'm sorry, I can't.
It's a secret.

Oh.

I can see why you came.

What? Really?

It's never too early
to start the treatment.

Oh, boy.

All of these imperfections,

they will completely disappear
after just one treatment.

Imperfections?
What imperfections?

Oh, this was not a good idea.

You know what?

We shouldn't wait.
We should start right away.

I thought this was
just a consultation.

We cannot let her put
that stuff on her face.

This will take
years off your face.

I think I need to really
think about this.

And there's our photographer.

Okay, guys, we got to pull
the plug on this one.

Yeah.

Don't you want to be younger
and more beautiful?

I think I'm kind of
happy the way I am.

Seriously?

Okay, fine.

I'm certainly not
going to waste this.

Hey. Let me show you
what it does.

I'll just let myself out.

No, no, no. Wait.

You have to see. Now go
ahead, guess how old I am.

Uh...
How old do I look?

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, good, you're here. Did you bring more?
I'm all out.

I told you
not to use that stuff.

I need more.
Who is she?

Did you bring it?
Yeah, I did.

Give it to me.
What is she doing here?

Nothing.
I was just leaving.

Give it to me.

Hey.

Get the hell away from her.

No! No! My cream!

He's
the musasat alsh-shabab!

I'll find a new jar.

Don't move.

What am I gonna do now?

It's broken.

And it's your fault.

You never answered my question.

What?

How old do I look?

I'm 69 years young.

Andrew believed that
Portland deserved a mayor

that was willing
to fight for its people.

Now, I've been asked
to take Andrew's place.

And after long consideration,
I've realized that the only way

to support Andrew's vision of
the city is to take his place.

And, so, today,
I'm formally announcing

my candidacy for
mayor of Portland.

Here we go.
