Grimm (2011–2017): Season 5, Episode 18 - Good to the Bone - full transcript

Nick, Hank and Wu searches for a wesen killer who can liquefy human bones; Hank encounters an old flame.

HANK: Previously on Grimm...

You are such a special man.
But I can't.

Black Claw wants to take
control of the government,

and they're starting
in Portland with Renard.

Have you noticed any
changes in Adalind?

The suppressant you
gave her won't last.

And if she becomes
a Hexenbiest again,

she will not be
who you know now.

(SCREAMING)

Daddy.
Diana?

KEVIN: Don't drink and drive.

(CHUCKLES) How am I
supposed to get home?

(MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING
ON RADIO)

Is Kelly asleep?

Finally. Though,
I think he's teething.

Already?
Yeah, I think.

I'm not sure. I've never
really gotten this far before.

How's work going?

Okay. Feels good
to be back.

Is Kelly liking it?

Yeah, we make
a pretty good team.

He makes some pretty
tough clients relax,

they kind of forget
about their problems.

Maybe I should bring him
to the precinct.

I'm sure he'd love a little
detective-man-dad time.

Which I wouldn't mind myself,

except substituting
dad with lover.

Yeah. I guess we've both been
a little too busy lately.

Yeah.

I know things have been a
little tense, and I'm sorry.

This isn't the easiest relationship
because of how we started.

Trust isn't
a natural thing for us,

but I think we need
to work on that.

This is not stopping here.

(MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING

(GROANING)

(SNIFFING)

Oh!

Hey, hey, you got to help me.
I had an accident.

"Had an accident"?

Man, you are an accident.

Oh, uh...
What are you doing?

I'm calling 911.

Man, don't call nobody.
Put your phone away.

We gone.
Hey, where you going?

You have to help me, please!

ZURI: Hank?

Zuri.

How are you?

Good. How are you?
I'm fine.

What are you doing
on this side of town?

I have a client over here.
I still do physical therapy.

By the way, how's your ankle?

Good as new.

ZURI: No other problems?

No.

How's your brother doing?

Believe it or not,
he's a sophomore in Eugene,

he's doing really well.

Well, it was good to see you.
Take care of yourself.

Well, Hank, wait.

I've thought a lot about
what happened with us.

I'm really sorry about
the way things ended.

Hey, don't be.
It's okay.

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

Really, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I mean, when I said, "I
thought a lot about things,"

I thought a lot
about things, so, um...

How about dinner?

Okay, I'll call you.
No, you won't.

Listen, I am not leaving here

until I know when
I'm gonna see you.

Okay. How about
tomorrow night?

You're on. (CHUCKLES)
Um, I have a new address, so...

Okay. I'll pick you up.

Or I could make something.

Or you could make something.

(CHUCKLES)

CHARLIE: I apologize.

For what?

CHARLIE:
For what I have to do.

What do you have to do?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What have we got?

Just reviewing a deposition
on the Ryan case.

But guess who I
ran into last night?

No. You really want me to guess?

Zuri.

Physical therapist Zuri?

Yeah, ran into her
at the grocery store.

And?

She asked me out.

I thought she didn't want to do
the whole Wesen-Kehrseite thing.

Apparently, she was feeling
guilty over that very same thing.

How much guilt
are we talking about?

She's cooking dinner for
me tonight at her house.

That is very guilty.
(CHUCKLING)

Yeah, speaking of guilt,

I wonder if the Captain's feeling
any over not being here.

I found this on
my windshield this morning.

I think he's got a real
shot at winning this thing.

If Black Claw starts
controlling politics,

they'll be able to manipulate
the entire system.

And Wesen will control
the whole city.

That would not be good.
(PHONE RINGING)

Griffin.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Got it.

That sounds like we're busy.
We are.

Remember to apply it
just before bedtime,

and be sure to wash your hands
before and after you use it.

Thank you.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

Eve.

Adalind has her powers back.

I know.

How long has she had them back?

I'm not sure.
Maybe three or four weeks.

Does she know you know?

Yes.

Does Nick know?

Yes.

Did Adalind tell him?

No.

You did.

I waited for Adalind
to tell him,

but she didn't,
and I felt I had to.

Has Nick told Adalind
that he knows?

I don't think so.

You were in the tunnel,
weren't you?

Uh, yeah. It wasn't because
of you we didn't come out.

It was because of Adalind.

She didn't know you were there.

I sensed you, she didn't.

She's out of practice, Rosalee.

She won't be for long.

You threatened her.

You said if she did anything
to Nick, you'd go after her.

You have a problem with that?

It's what I would have said.

If I was Juliette.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Sanitation worker found
him at 7:35 this morning.

He was a little on the freaked-out
side and with good reason.

I know I've said, "This is a
really weird one" before,

but this is a really weird one.

Is there more than one piece?
No.

Bite marks?
Not that I could tell.

Is there something missing?
Uh, I believe there is.

I don't think there's a bone
left in this guy's body.

Well, this guy got boned.

Well, no wallet, keys, or phone.

Looks like a crusty
residue around his mouth.

You had to say "crusty."

Okay, I have no idea if we're gonna
get any useable fingerprints.

These are gonna be
pretty distorted.

There is no bone in the fingers.

HANK: Those are tire tracks.

It looks like he was run over.

Yeah, more than once.

Then somebody took his wallet,
keys, phone, and bones.

This is one sick dude.

Well, let's see if we can
get an ID on the Vic

and send him over to the ME.

Well, this is not the first
flat body on the books.

That's sort of depressing.

One case in Fresno County,
California, January of this year.

Two more cases in Humboldt
County in February.

Well, if he's moving to
Oregon, Portland makes sense.

All right, if there's three cases
this year, there's got to be more.

We should take it back
five more years.

Took a little squeezing, but I
finally got a readable fingerprint.

Our victim is
Kevin Carl Salesky,

and he does have
a bit of a record.

Arrested for a couple
drunk and disorderlies,

public urination, three DUIs,

the last one resulting in a
vehicular manslaughter charge,

of which he was acquitted
on a technicality,

and that was just last year.

Iran his license.

His car was reported,
about 30 minutes ago,

crashed and abandoned
at Dekum Park.

The graveyard?
That Dekum Park?

It's on the other side
of the river.

How the hell did
he get where he did?

Car's still at the park,
pending investigation.

Blood was found at the
scene, but no body.

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Yeah?

Okay, I will do them now.
Send him up to get them.

Assignment reviews have got to be signed.
You guys good?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, we got a car
smashed up in the park.

Car could have been stolen before he
was killed or after he was killed.

Or maybe it wasn't
stolen at all.

I mean, this guy's
got three DUIs.

He could have crashed it
on his own.

I'm gonna make sure no one touches
that car before we get there.

Hey, this is Detective Griffin.
Who's the officer on duty?

(GASPING)

(PANTING)

Hey, Wu!

You okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, don't worry.
I got dizzy.

(SIGHS) Must have
gotten up too fast.

You might have low blood sugar.

When was the last time you ate?

(SIGHS) Um...

I think I had something last night.
I'm fine. I'm fine now.

You sure?
Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Look, we're gonna go
check out that car.

Make sure you get
something to eat.

Yep.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Hey, fellas.

Scavengers got here before we
did, stripped it pretty clean.

I got a guy who says
he saw the driver last night.

Not much of a witness,
but he's all we got.

Where is he?

Sleeping in the back of my car.

I think he kind of had
a rough year last night.

Name's Pinklon Williams.

Pinky?

You know him?

Yeah, I know him.

Pinky!

Wake up!

Oh, no, Detective Griffin, man.
What are you doing here?

I didn't do nothing.

Pinky, you look awful.

I know I do, Detective.
I know I do.

Anyway, come on out of there.

Am I under arrest?

HANK: No.

You know, you were
wearing that jersey

the last time I arrested you.

Yeah, I've been wearing this
jersey every day since 1999.

Look, this is my man.
This is Scottie Pippen.

This is Trail Blazers.
This is Rip City.

Everybody said that his career
was over when Jordan retired.

They was wrong.

All right, listen,
the sergeant here says

you saw the person
who was driving that car.

I saw a guy who looked like
he went through a windshield.

This him?

Maybe, if you threw him
through a windshield.

Did you talk to him?

Not really. He was
extremely inebriated.

Not that I'm judging. All right,
did you see where he went?

Uh, last time I saw him,

he was down here
by the trash cans.

HANK: So, what'd he do?
Did he say anything to you?

I didn't stick around.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Do I get, uh...

Like, uh, a reward for all
this pertinent information?

(CELLPHONE RINGING)
No.

Oh.

Where is that coming from?

FRANCO: Go on, Pinky,
get out of here.

I got a wallet.

FRANCO: Let's dust it for
prints and see what we get.

HANK: There's our guy.

Credit cards and cash
still in there?

Yep.

Wasn't a robbery.

Well, let's talk to the ME.

See if she's ever seen
anything like this before.

BINDRA: I have never seen
anything like this before.

The entire skeletal structure has
dissolved. I mean, it's gone.

The only way
I can explain it is,

I found a high level of
chitinase throughout the body.

And chitinase is what?

A digestive enzyme
usually found in bats.

The only other thing I found
in his system was alcohol.

A lot of it.

But that doesn't dissolve bones.

NICK: What about all the
crusty stuff around his mouth?

I believe that's liquefied bone.

So, somehow he regurgitated

his entire skeletal
structure out of his mouth?

It's a possibility, but I'm not
gonna put that in my report.

Sorry, guys, I wish
I could be more help.

PINKY: What is this? I gave you $40.
This is only $20 worth.

What are you doing?

Come on, don't give me that,
give me what I'm paying...

(GUNSHOT)

(GRUNTING)

(GASPING)

(GRUNTS)

(SNIFFING)

(WHIMPERING)

(GROANS) on, God.

Don't rob me, man.
What are you...

I was just shot,
man, call 911...

(PINKY COUGHING)

(GROANING)

I apologize.

What? What?

Really. I mean it.

If I didn't have to
do this, I wouldn't.

But I don't expect
you to understand.

(WHIMPERING)

(SCREAMING) No!
(BONES CRACKING)

(BONES CRACKING)
(PINKY GROANING)

(SIGHS)

(GASPING)

Charlie?

Yeah.

Did you bring us something?

Yeah, Pa.

You are such a good boy.

What would we ever
do without him?

We'd starve.

I know.

(SNIFFING)

(GROWLING)

(BOTH SCREECHING)

(KNOCKING)

Welcome. Come on in.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Pinot Noir.
I love Pinot Noir.

Yeah, I was hoping
you loved Pinot Noir,

'cause that's what I got.

ZURI: Well, let's open it.

Here you go.

I hope you like salmon.
I figured that was safe.

Yeah, who doesn't love salmon?

(CHUCKLES)

You know, um, I never
thought this would happen.

(CHUCKLING)
Yeah, I didn't either.

So, do you still work
with the Grimm? I do.

Does he know that
you're here tonight?

Well, I told him
we ran into each other.

Yeah.

How long have you two been
working together, now?

Uh, going on six years.

(SIGHS) on.

How are you dealing
with all that?

Well, I try not to judge.

Well, then, you must
be very open-minded.

What changed your mind?

You know what I am, and you
accept me for what I am.

I was too quick
to overlook that.

Then I just got mad at myself,
'cause I knew I blew an opportunity.

(CHUCKLES)

Then when I saw you
in the frozen food section,

I just figured, you know,

well, he really needs someone
to cook him a decent meal.

Well, that works for me.

Okay, well, you can give me
a hand and stir this sauce

while I finish setting the table.
(LAUGHING)

Um... I can do that.

Nick? Nick?
You need to wake up.

What's wrong?

I need to tell you something.

Okay.

I talked to Sean Renard.

Why?

He called.

He wouldn't tell me on the phone

what it was about,
he wanted to meet.

It's Diana. He said
she's with the Resistance.

Why would he be
telling you this now?

I don't know.

I think he's gonna use Diana
to get to me for some reason.

I'm sorry. I should
have told you sooner.

We think Renard is
working with Black Claw.

Are you sure?
Yeah.

But he doesn't
know that we know,

and for now,
it's better that way.

I'm scared. If you hear
from him again, tell me.

Okay.

Hey.

So, how was last night?

Very nice.

But you didn't sleep with her?

I did not.

Doesn't mean I won't, but we're
just getting reacquainted.

I'm in no hurry.

NICK: The Captain
contacted Adalind,

didn't tell me
anything about it.

Okay, what don't I know
that I should know?

Said that Diana is
with the Resistance.

I thought she was with the Royals.
SO did I.

If the Captain is working with
Black Claw... (CELLPHONE RINGING)

they're gonna use
Adalind to get to you.

We're associating with some
very unsavory characters.

Wu.

(WINCES) Where?

We got another flat one.

Number 33, that's Pinky.

Bullet wound to the gut.

The likelihood of him getting
shot here is pretty small.

Pinky never left that park.

And it's just like the last one.

Now, I'm thinking our perp
finds his victims in the park,

takes them elsewhere
to run them over.

We need to find out exactly
what we're dealing with.

They stalked places of death,
battlefields, workhouses, and slums.

Barbatus Ossifrage?

Yeah, they prey on
the mortally wounded.

So, they kill the already dying?

Exactly.

So, technically,
they're not killers.

They sort of serve the same
purpose in the ecosystem

as, like, vultures,

providing clean-up and
recycling of dead bodies,

which, in turn, prevents the
spread of plague and pestilence.

They roam in packs
called tristitudo,

which translates to
"a group of grief."

So, we could be dealing
with more than one.

Definitely, but the thing is,

unlike vultures, these guys
don't hang around one area

for more than, like,
three or four bodies because,

you know, hauling off a human
corpse is a little more obvious

than, like, pecking at carrion.

Were the bodies dropped
from a high place?

Because they'd have
to break the bones

before they could dissolve
them and suck them out.

Our bodies were run over.

Well, I guess that's a sacrifice
you have to make when you don't

have a cliff.

Both of our victims were
taken from Dekum Park.

Well, then the
Barbatus Ossifrage

is probably scavenging
Dekum Park.

That's where you're
gonna find him.

We have no idea who this guy is.

He has no relationship
with the victims.

How can you even arrest this
guy for murder, anyway?

I mean, he didn't kill anybody.

I guess he helps it along.

He's an accessory, and he
screws up our crime scenes.

There's no way we'll be
able to get a conviction

with a boneless body.

I don't know how you're
gonna find an Ossifrage

without another body.

Well, it says here that they're
attracted to the smell of blood.

Not just the smell of blood,

it has to be the scent
of imminent death.

Maybe we can borrow
a body from the morgue.

That won't be enough.

The victim is gonna have
to smell like it's alive.

So, we have to find someone
who's alive, but dying?

How are we gonna do that?
Well,

there is something called
the Parfum de la Mort,

it's the scent of dying.

You know, if you get me a body,
I could probably make that up.

Well, I guess one
of us could do it.

Any volunteers?

Oh, no.

No, no, no, wait a minute.

I've already done
this once before.

Well, technically, no, you
don't have to ingest anything

that's gonna actually
risk your life.

Sweetie, you just
have to lay there

and endure
the Parfum de la Mort.

How bad is it?

It's no worse than
certain cheeses.

When do you want to do this?

Tonight.

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Hello?
RENARD: Can you talk?

Yeah.

I need to see you
tonight, alone.

Don't bring Kelly
or anybody else.

Well, what am I
supposed to tell Nick?

Well, I heard
you're working again.

Why don't you tell him you're
meeting with a client?

Is this about Diana?

I'll text you where and when.
Don't be late.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
(COMPUTER BEEPING)

(ALARM BLARING)

MONROE: Hey, is that stuff
just about done?

ROSALEE: No, no, no. You don't want to...
Oh!

Oh, my God.
You do not want to breathe this stuff.

MONROE: Thank you. Thank you for that.
Just make it stop.

I'm almost done.

Is it ready?
MONROE: Almost done.

(BLOWING NOSE)

No. No. No.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(GROANS)

Just wait a second, you guys.
She's almost done. (DOOR OPENS)

I'm so sorry. This stuff
is really potent.

That is unlike anything
I have ever smelled before.

(SIGHS) Okay, here.

Don't spray this
until you have to

and only on his clothes,
not on his skin.

And you need to wear these.
It's not fresh blood, but...

If there are any Barbatus
Ossifrage in the area,

trust me, you will
get their attention.

You ready?

Can we get this over with?

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Remember, take off your clothes
before you come in the house

and go directly to the shower,
I think that would be best.

All right.
(PHONE RINGING)

Spice & Tea.
ADALIND: Oh, hey, it's me.

I have a big favor
to ask of you.

I have a meeting tonight, and
I know Nick's working late,

and I was just wondering

if there's any way you can watch
Kelly for a couple of hours?

Sure.
Should I come right over?

(CELLPHONE CHIMES)
Um...

(SIGHS) No, no, no.
I'll bring him to you.

Oh, okay. Then I'll get cleaned up, then.
See you in a few.

All right.

This is good enough.

(SIGHS) Okay. Can you
hold this, please?

You guys might want to,
you know, clear.

Thank you.

(INHALES)

WU: Ugh!

Oh, my God. I can feel how
bad this stuff smells.

Time to go.

(COUGHING)

(HAWKING)

(SPITS)

(SNIFFING)

Yes.

ADALIND: Hi.
Hi.

I can't thank you enough
for doing this.

Gosh, I should be thanking you.

It really should only
take a couple of hours.

Don't even worry about it.
Take your time.

Kelly and I have
a lot to talk about.

Yes, you, we do, don't we?

(GASPS) We do.

How are things at work,
going back?

Oh, good.

I mean, I like not being
at the loft all day,

and I think it's good for Kelly
to get out and meet other people.

Yeah.
I just couldn't be without him right now.

I know, I think
if I ever have a baby,

I'd want to bring
him to work, too,

so, this will be a good test run, huh?
(CHUCKLES)

How are things
with you and Nick?

Uh, I haven't told him,
if that's what you're asking.

Every time I'm about to, I just
freeze up, and nothing comes out.

You can't keep it
from him forever.

I know.

Uh, well, everything
you need is right here.

And I have my cell,
so, if you need anything...

(CHUCKLING)
We're gonna be okay.

Don't worry.
Bye, bud.

Okay.
ROSALEE: Okay.

Bye.

Are we gonna have some fun here?
You gonna have some fun?

(SNIFFS)

(CLATTERING)

(WHINING)

(GROWLING)

(SNARLING)

(SNIFFING)

(PANTING)

(GROANS)

(SNIFFING)

Oh.

Was that him?
(SIGHS) I don't know.

He didn't take the bait.

Maybe something spooked him.

All right, where's Wu?

We'd better find out.

(PANTING)

Hank! Over here!

CHARLIE: I can't
do this anymore.

I can't feed them day after
day, month after month.

What about me?
What about my life?

Doesn't that mean anything to anybody?
I hate them.

They are ruining my life.

I wish that they would
both just die. Damn it.

Don't they see?

Don't they even see
what they're doing to me?

(SIGHS)

They don't see it.

They never have.

I apologize. I really do.

This isn't something
that I want to do.

I don't have anything
against you.

Believe me.

It's just

who we are.

You can never
get away from that.

You know how they say
you can't go home again?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I don't want to go home again!

(ENGINE STARTING)
(YELLING)

I got him.
I think he's got Wu.

That means he came in from this way.
He's headed that way.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry,
feed me, Charlie, feed me."

I'm sick Of it.

(ENGINE REVIVING)

There's the van!

NICK: Police!
(TIRES SCREECHING)

HANK: Out of the van!

Guys?

Guys?

NICK: Stop!

HANK: Put your hands
on your head!

(SNARLING)

(GROWLING)

Yeah, Barbatus Ossifrage.
We know.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

He ran right in front of me.
I couldn't stop.

My parents depend on me.

They're always so hungry.

Tell them that I tried.

He came out of nowhere. I
didn't see him until it was...

Oh, my God.

Oh, sorry, that's me.

NICK: Hang in there, Wu. We'll
check in with you at the hospital.

He gonna be okay?

He hit his head pretty hard,
but I think so, yeah.

I found a registration for a
trailer in the glove box.

I put a BOLO out on it.

If we find the trailer,
we'll find his parents.

Yeah.

So, what do you want
to do about Monroe?

NICK: (EXHALES)
He's not coming in our car.

HANK: I'll call him a cab.

(ENGINE STARTS)

RENARD: Adalind.

I'm sorry it has to be this way.

What Way?

No.

(SNARLING)

(GROANS) You bastard.

RENARD: I know.

(GRUNTS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Yeah, that's it.
Registration matches.

Hi, I'm Detective Burkhardt.
This is Detective Griffin.

Oh. No.

Charlie.

MR. HIGGINBOTHAM:
Is that Charlie?

I'm hungry.

MRS. HIGGINBOTHAM: (CRYING)
He was such a good boy.

MR. HIGGINBOTHAM:
He took good care of us.

Yes.

That is our Charlie.

God, what happened to him? Looks
like he got hit by a truck.

(CRYING)

We're very sorry for your loss.

Could we have a few
moments alone with him?

Of course.

(CRYING)

Can't let this go to waste.

You're right.

He'd want it this way.
You go first.

(SNARLING)

But leave some for me.

(SQUELCHING)

You hear something?
Yeah.

You don't think they're...

You think we should stop them?

(SQUELCHING CONTINUES)

Not a chance.

RENARD: Adalind.
Mmm.

No. Wait.

(GASPS)

Diana?
Mommy.

ADALIND: Diana!

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.
