Grimm (2011–2017): Season 5, Episode 4 - Maiden Quest - full transcript
A wealthy mobster sets three young men on a quest to win his daughter Emily's hand in marriage and earn his fortune.
Previously on Grimm...
They grabbed Trubel. I tried
to stop 'em, they drugged me.
Who?
Chavez.
Where did he take her? Where is she?
So, I am thinking
of selling the house.
Find us someplace safer.
It's a little barren,
but I got us enough to start.
I don't want anybody
to know where we are.
I fed you, I changed
you, I burped you.
Why are you doing this?
What's wrong?
Is the water boiling?
If it's boiling, you gotta put the
rice in and then turn it down.
The rice is in. How do
we turn the baby down?
Oh, why don't you try? Let me deal with
the rice. It's okay, Kelly. It's okay.
Nothing can be that bad.
Maybe he has colic. How do
you know if he has colic?
I don't know. I'm still learning to
boil rice. Should we call Rosalee?
Okay, then you take Kelly.
Ah, ha! Never mind,
I'll call her.
Hear the cello counterpoint?
I hear the cello.
Whether it's counterpointing
or not, I couldn't tell you.
Oh, best part of the day.
More wine?
Absolutely.
I don't wanna know.
Adalind, is everything okay?
We've tried everything. He's been
bathed, changed, burped, pooped,
and he won't stop crying.
How do we know if it's colic?
Pretty much
if he won't stop crying.
Okay, then what do
we do about it?
Fennel sometimes helps,
nothing works all the time.
I don't care about all the time,
I just care about
right now. He...
What just happened? He's looking
at the lights on the phone.
Oh! The rice is boiling over.
Oh! Uh...
Sorry, Rosalee, gotta go.
Okay.
That solved itself.
You like the phone,
don't you, buddy, huh?
I think we should
get him his own phone.
Not till second grade.
Tradition is our lifeblood.
Loyalty, trust and honor.
Without these virtues,
family cannot survive.
But it is our traditions
that hold us together.
And no tradition is more important
than our Maagd Zoektocht.
My son's blood calls to me from the grave.
He was taken from me.
And when a man does not have
a son to inherit his legacy,
he must turn to tradition.
My daughter Emily
is all I have left.
Our Maagd Zoektocht
requires one of you
to prove your worthiness
to win her heart and her hand.
Let the Griffin choose.
Isaac has drawn
the longest feather.
He will have the first chance
to prove himself.
What is my quest?
To kill the man responsible
for my son's death.
Bring me the head
of Frankie Adkins.
I will.
Emily, I've loved you for years.
Now I finally get to prove it.
You'll make a beautiful bride.
This is good.
Really?
I haven't done much cooking.
My mom wasn't always around,
so I kind of taught myself.
A kid can only
eat so much pizza.
I know plenty
of kids who would disagree.
This is good.
I bet your mom was a good cook.
Till I was about 12
and then she,
sort of, disappeared.
Hey, it's, kind of, like my dad.
He took off when I was four.
Look, I know our arrangement is
weird and I've said this before,
but I really appreciate
you taking care of us.
He's my son, too.
I know, but I don't like
having to rely on you.
Not just you, I don't like
having to rely on anybody.
You've been great, but...
I, uh, ran into an old colleague
at the grocery store.
From your law firm?
Mmm-hmm.
He said they're understaffed.
There's possibility of a job.
Isn't it a little soon
to go back to work?
Yeah, it is.
It just made me
feel better knowing
that there was a job out there.
I need to contribute, Nick.
I don't like
feeling so helpless.
That being said, I'd like you to stay
with us in our room again tonight.
It's just I sleep
a lot better knowing
that you'll kill whatever
walks through that door.
Here you go, birthday girl.
Happy birthday.
Oh, Frankie's the best, right?
Let's get out of here.
Go get the car.
Can we go somewhere
and get burgers?
No.
Why not?
'Cause you're putting on
too much weight.
What?
Frankie! Oh, my God!
What the hell?
Who are you?
No!
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
Sean, thank you so much for coming.
Of course.
It's good to see you.
- It's been a while.
- It has.
Although I've seen your face
all over the news recently.
Well, hopefully you'll see
more of it.
We wanted to ask you...
Well, we think the time
is right for Andrew.
He's gonna announce that he's
running for mayor of Portland.
With sights on the
governorship, of course.
One election at a time.
He's becoming quite a force
to be reckoned with.
It's good to hear you say that.
I'd really like your support.
You really think
I mean something?
You're a widely respected figure
of authority here in Portland,
and we think you could
do us a lot of good.
Listen, before I agree
to anything,
I need to know a little more
about what you plan to do if...
Uh-uh. When.
If you get elected.
Well, nobody gets
elected without confidence
or the right people backing him.
Assault happened sometime after
they closed, little after 2:00.
Bodyguard, Luis Lopez,
was hit first.
Frankie Adkins, he's the owner
of the bar, he was hit next.
We ID'd the body
as Isaac Proctor.
"Proctor." Name's familiar.
Isaac is the son of criminal
defense attorney, Amanda Proctor.
I've dealt with her.
She's kept a lot of
bad people on the street.
So someone kills her son? Someone
trying to send a message?
If they are, it's a pretty
brutal candy gram.
Sword?
Pretty old school.
- Any witnesses?
- Yeah.
Frankie Adkins and his girlfriend, Lola.
She took off after he was hit.
Paramedics took care of Frankie,
who told them he was
attacked by Isaac.
Our victim.
- So Frankie killed Isaac?
- Nope.
According to Frankie,
Isaac was killed
by a guy wearing a weird
looking animal outfit.
I didn't press him.
I leave the pressing to you.
Where's the girlfriend now?
At home. She was
too scared to stick around.
She made the 911 call from a
burger joint down the street.
Let's talk to Frankie.
Inside.
Thank you.
Frank Adkins.
Yeah.
I'm Detective Griffin,
this is Detective Burkhardt.
You wanna tell us what happened?
Yeah, I do.
I was leaving
with Luis and Lola.
Luis goes to get the car.
Me and Lola were
just getting in,
then some guy sucker punches me.
I go down.
When I look up,
he's got a freaking sword
about to cut my head off.
No. Had you ever
seen him before?
And just when I thought
I was dead,
he gets taken out by some guy wearing
some kind of animal costume.
What did you do then?
You kidding me?
I hid under the car.
The guy was
tearing him to pieces.
How long did you stay there?
Till the cops came.
I'm not stupid.
It was like a nightmare.
I mean, I never seen
anything like this before.
I don't know what was going on,
but whoever killed that son
of a bitch, he saved my life.
The guy in the animal costume?
Yeah. Him.
I owe him big time.
Isaac Proctor was
arrested five years ago
for aggravated assaults
and some misdemeanors, too.
Frankie is no choirboy either.
What is the connection
between Isaac and Frankie?
Well, there's none
that I can see.
Hey, what about the bodyguard?
He's got a rap sheet,
but was he was unconscious
at the time Isaac was killed.
Plus, it would have been
self-defense, either way.
All right, so why was Isaac
trying to kill Frankie?
Frankie must've done
something to Isaac.
Maybe Isaac's mother would know.
A criminal defense attorney
probably knows what the problem is.
I think the Captain knows her.
Well, let's run it past him.
If Frankie is telling the
truth, someone else was there
when Isaac knocked him down. And
that person took out Isaac.
And Frankie described this mystery
man as wearing an animal outfit?
We're assuming
that guy was Wesen.
Isaac Proctor is, too.
I know his mother Amanda.
She's a good lawyer
but keeps bad company.
They're Weten Ogen.
Not my favorite.
So Isaac is Wesen,
whoever killed him is Wesen.
What about Frankie?
I don't know. Have you
told Amanda Proctor yet?
We wanted to do
background first.
I should go with you
on this one.
You know, Kelly,
you're not an only child.
You have a big sister.
Her name is Diana.
I hope we can all be
together someday.
I haven't seen her
in a really long time.
Rosalee?
Just checking in.
How's Kelly?
Oh, he's good,
when he's sleeping.
I put together a few things
for you and the little guy.
I can come by and drop them
off if you're not busy.
Oh, no, no, no.
We should come to you.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I think I'm getting
a little fortress fever.
Okay, I'm just here at the shop.
Okay. We are on our way.
Isaac was a good boy,
he believed in the tradition,
and he will be mourned.
But his mistake
is your opportunity.
Isaac almost succeeded
at his task
but failed at the last moment
when he was attacked.
Now, I don't know
which one of you did it,
but if I were you, I would not
turn my back on the other.
Eli, it's your turn now.
But Frankie Adkins knows
someone has tried to kill him,
and it's going to make it
that much harder on you.
Good luck.
But first, we drink to Isaac,
a brave and noble Weten Ogen.
To a brave and noble Weten Ogen.
Who should've watched his back.
You.
Eli!
Emily.
You don't have to do this.
This tradition isn't worth it.
Maybe not, but you are.
Isaac was killed.
What happened to Isaac is
not gonna happen to me.
I've got a way in.
How can you be sure,
unless you killed Isaac?
I didn't kill Isaac.
But I knew he wouldn't
be able to kill Frankie.
If Amos gets in my way,
I will kill him.
Please don't do this.
Don't go back to the club.
I'm not gonna make
the same mistake as Isaac.
He'll have more bodyguards. Shh.
Don't worry, babe.
This is our time.
You and me are gonna bring
two great families together.
And you and me are gonna make
a big family, lots of kids.
You just worry about
how to raise them.
Okay?
I'll be fine.
I'll see you later.
Do you have
any idea why your son
would try to kill
Frankie Adkins?
No. As far as I know
he didn't even know him.
We know, Isaac had a record.
I know my son had problems,
but I just can't believe that
he'd do what you're suggesting.
Did Isaac associate with anyone
who might have had it
out for Frankie?
My son's the one who is dead. Shouldn't
you be asking who killed him?
Amanda, if you want us
to find the person
responsible for
your son's death,
then you need to talk to us.
How do you know Frankie didn't kill my son?
Frankie has a record, too.
We know Frankie isn't Wesen.
What?
Detective Burkhardt is a Grimm.
And you brought him
into my office?
He knows that Isaac was Wesen.
Is this what you
wanted to see, Grimm?
I'm trying to figure out
who killed your son.
You know, I knew
you had one working for you.
I just hoped that
I'd never have to see him.
We think whoever killed your
son might also be Wesen.
Do you know where your son was
before he went to Frankie's club?
He was invited to Daniel Troyer's house.
I would assume for dinner.
Is Daniel Troyer Wesen?
Weten Ogen, like me.
What do we know
about Daniel Troyer?
He's been in Portland
for quite a while.
I know he was
investigated by the FBI.
He has some connections to a few
crime families on the east coast.
Well, Isaac tried
to kill Frankie
the same night
he was at Troyer's house.
Maybe Frankie's
connected to Troyer.
Push Troyer, see what you get.
Electric bill, telephone bill,
advertising... Oh, we won $1 million.
Yipee.
All right, I gotta get to this repair.
I'm gonna be late.
Should only take about an hour.
What is that?
I'm not sure. It's from
a guy I used to know
a long time ago in Seattle.
You wanna open it?
I'm not sure.
You want me to open it?
I'm not sure.
You know what?
Maybe I shouldn't hear this.
There's nothing
you shouldn't hear.
"Dear R,
"Don't know if you're ever going to
get this, but I'm gonna try anyway.
"Just want to let you
know that Carlos died.
"You can guess of what. He was a
cool guy, and I'm going to miss him.
"Don't know what your feeling
is about him these days,
"but he meant a lot
to you at one time.
"I still remember that
song he wrote for you."
There was a song?
I don't wanna read
any more of that.
Those are not good guys. And that
song was terrible.
I'd rather just forget that
entire part of my life.
Me, too.
Not your life,
I mean, that part of mine.
In fact everything
before I met you.
Before we talk to Troyer, are
you gonna play the Wesen card?
Not unless I have to.
Once he knows we know, we might not
be able get anything out of him.
Might not get anything
out of him anyway.
I'm Detective Burkhardt,
this is Detective Griffin.
We're looking for Daniel Troyer.
I'm his daughter, Emily.
He's in the backyard.
Can you tell me
what this is about?
We prefer to talk
to your father.
Of course.
I'll take you to him.
Check the inventory
again and find out
who was responsible
for shipping it.
Get the name.
Dad, this is Detective Burkhardt and
Griffin. They need to talk to you.
I've gotta go.
Is there a problem, gentlemen?
Do you know Isaac Proctor?
Yes. I heard
what happened to him.
It's very sad. I assume
you're investigating it.
We'd like to talk to you about
your relationship with Isaac.
I've known Isaac
since he was a kid.
His mother has handled
some legal problems for me.
Isaac and Emily
used to play together.
When was the last time
you saw him?
Last night.
He was here with us.
For what reason?
He came to see me.
What was your
relationship with him?
He was a friend.
Like my dad said, we'd known
each other since we were kids.
I'm sorry.
Look, this is very
difficult for her,
does she have to be
a part of this?
You knew the victim,
might be help to us.
I'm okay.
Do you know Frankie Adkins?
Frankie Adkins,
I don't know. Should I?
According to Mr. Adkins, Isaac
tried to kill him last night.
What? Isaac?
I don't believe it.
Why would he do that?
Do you know if Isaac
knew Frankie Adkins?
No, I don't.
Do you?
No, I'm sorry, I don't know.
What time did Isaac
leave last night?
Around 11:00, I think.
And has anyone
threatened him in any way?
Not that he ever told me about.
Did both of you stay
home after Isaac left?
Yes.
Was anyone else here
besides the three of you?
No. It was just
Isaac and us.
Nobody knows anything.
Oh, this is all
connected somehow.
Yeah, why would Isaac leave here
and go and try and kill Frankie?
Maybe Frankie and Isaac
are both in love with Emily.
Or could be they were jealous.
Well, then who killed Isaac?
All we know is he's Wesen.
Well, that's not gonna show
up on his rap sheet. It's Wu.
Wu.
You will never guess what the ME
found during Isaac's autopsy.
A feather. And not just any old feather.
It's a golden feather.
ME didn't think it had
anything to do with anything
'cause the victim
wasn't hurt by it,
as in “knocked
over by a feather."
But not having spent time
in a mental institution,
the ME does not have
the insight that I now have.
What do you think it means, Wu?
I have no idea,
except we got a grown man
walking around with a golden
feather in his pocket.
Just thought you should know.
Thank you.
What do you think it means?
I think we're grasping
at feathers.
I said it and I meant it.
Got the new guys, boss.
Bring 'em in.
Get in here.
Someone tried to
whack me last night.
As you can see, they
weren't very successful,
but I am not one to take
unnecessary risks.
Are you willing
to die to protect me?
Yes, sir.
You?
Nobody's gonna get past me, sir.
Where the hell are you?
He's asleep.
How was work?
Wow. I sound so domestic.
Work was...
You don't have to tell me.
He told me to keep Chavez's
phone, but he hasn't called.
Why tell me to keep the phone
if they're not gonna use it?
I hope Trubel's okay.
Yeah, me, too.
- And make sure that gets there tonight.
- Yes, sir.
I don't want anything
to screw up this deal.
We're out of here. Get the car.
Check the back.
You're not gonna lock up?
No, I'm not gonna lock up.
Somebody else is gonna lock up.
Now get the guys.
Boss is leaving.
Make sure everyone's
watching my back.
Oh...
You need the bathroom.
That's okay, I can wait.
No, you go first.
Are you sure? 'Cause you
look a little dirty.
Yeah, well,
you look... Wow!
Did Kelly throw up on you?
Sort of.
I'll be quick.
That tunnel must be filthy.
Yeah.
Did you find out where it goes?
Not exactly.
There was this big door,
looks like it hasn't
been opened in 100 years.
I'm gonna need some
tools to get it open.
I just realized I forgot to
bring clothes to change into.
Oh, Yeah? Well, I can
get you something.
What do you need?
Anything without
baby puke will be fine.
Hey, buddy, just so you know,
not nice to throw up
on your mom.
There wasn't much
to choose from,
so I just got you
one of my shirts.
Thanks.
You know, you should
really buy some clothes.
Use the credit card
that I got you.
Oh...
I feel a little
awkward doing that.
Yeah, well, not having
clothes is awkward.
True.
Okay.
Thank you. Your turn.
Put the car away
and stay outside.
I'm hungry, Luis.
Make me a sandwich.
Boss got hungry.
Get me some pickles.
Sure.
I'm wracking my brains, Luis.
Who put a hit on me?
The Johnny's crew,
Eleventh street...
Where's Luis?
Uh, said you were hungry
and you wanted sandwiches.
Just put the sandwiches down.
Go get Luis.
And get your ass back outside.
What the hell?
No!
Oh, my God, not again.
Someone tried to kill
Frankie Adkins again,
with the same good luck
as the first assassin.
So whoever tried to kill Frankie
here at home is our new victim?
Little Deja Wu going on. Except for
this time, it was his new bodyguard.
His own bodyguard
tried to kill him?
That's what he says.
Who tried to kill the bodyguard?
Same guy in an animal outfit.
Let me just say that Frankie
is starting to unravel.
Paramedics gave him something
to calm him down.
I think he might have done a little
self-medicating before that.
Oh, what took you guys so long?
The same thing
happened again last night,
except different.
The guy was my bodyguard, and
he tried to kill me with an ax.
What's with the swords and axes?
Why don't these morons realize you
can buy a gun literally anywhere?
But someone saved
your life again.
Oh, no, not someone,
this freak who dresses
like an animal.
The same one as before?
Oh, yeah.
You don't forget
something like this.
Sharp teeth, yellow eyes,
pointed ears,
lot of hair with stripes in it.
What happens once this
"animal" saves your life?
Does he say anything?
No, nothing.
Just kills and leaves.
Now can you think
of anyone in particular
who'd want to save your life?
No.
No.
Plenty of the opposite.
Like who?
If I knew that
I'd take care of 'em myself.
I don't mean
in an unlawful manner.
Well, if you can
think of any names...
Those yellow eyes.
I know they're not real.
It's just a mask.
Yep. Just a mask.
Victim is Eli Kemper, as in
union boss Lionel Kemper's son.
The same MO as Isaac.
Troyer was connected to Isaac.
Maybe Eli was, too.
Troyer's import-export, more than
likely he knows a union boss.
Hmm.
Axes, swords,
and golden feathers.
Anyone else think this is
getting a little mythological?
Maybe Wu was right.
Each victim
had a golden feather.
And one is bigger
than the other.
The intended victim,
Frankie, described
the killer of his
would-be killers
as having sharp teeth,
yellow eyes, pointed ears,
and lots of hair
with stripes on it.
Okay, that's...
Weten Ogen.
Yeah.
We think so.
And we met one yesterday. The
mother of one of the victims.
Wait a minute.
You're saying the killer
and the victim are
both Weten Ogen?
You could be dealing
with the Maagd Zoektocht.
- Oh, that is an
ancient Weten Ogen tradition.
I'm talking from the millennium
before the millennium.
You know, how knights
would slay dragons
to win the princess?
It's that.
Basically a maiden quest.
"Maiden quest"?
Like, to win the bride?
It's a way to facilitate
arranged marriages.
I think three
Weten Ogen bachelors, right,
are sent out
to complete the quest
to prove themselves worthy
for the hand of the
fair maiden and her dowry.
But what's weird here is the
quest doesn't normally end
with the participants' death.
Not to say that procuring
a dragon's tooth
didn't have an abnormally high
casualty rate, but still...
Maybe since these Weten Ogen
have criminal ties,
the stakes have been raised.
As in, the goal
for this quest is...
What's his name?
Frankie's head.
I mean, they're using
axes and swords, right?
Bringing in the head
of the enemy,
it's pretty standard challenge.
So Isaac and Eli were
opponents in this quest.
So then, who's
the beautiful maiden?
That would be Troyer's daughter.
Then Troyer must be Weten
Ogen as are all the suitors.
We know Troyer is one.
You know what?
Find the third competitor,
and that's probably
your murderer because they...
You should find him
quickly though
because this quest won't end until
Frankie's head is delivered.
Yeah, and don't expect Troyer to
just, you know, tell you who it is.
But he does have to
bless the third competitor,
who will also have
that third golden feather.
Yeah, we're gonna
keep an eye on Troyer.
All right, thanks.
Wow.
Weten Ogen.
Honey, would you
slay a dragon for me?
Oh, my God, a flock of 'em.
Or whatever you call
a great gathering of dragons.
My knight in shining...
No, but I don't do armor.
I got a nickel allergy.
I honestly did not think
you had it in you.
Excuse me?
With both Isaac and Eli out of
your way, you have no competition.
Eli is dead?
We drink to his honor.
He tried.
I didn't do it.
Of course, you didn't.
No, Mr. Troyer,
I swear to you
I had nothing to do with it.
Amos, you've proven
your cunning,
but you still must
complete your quest.
I don't even want to be here.
My mother made me do this.
I don't want Emily. I'm...
I'm gay.
No one backs out
of the Maagd Zoektocht.
Now you bring me
the head of Frankie Adkins,
or I'll kill you myself.
That son of a bitch
killed my son.
Suspect just left.
Take him down.
Roger that.
Exit the vehicle!
What is this about?
Hands where I can see 'em!
I swear to you I haven't done anything!
Hands up.
That's nothing,
that's just a feather.
How well did you know
Isaac Proctor?
I didn't know him.
What about Eli Kemper?
No.
How do you know Troyer?
He's a friend of my father's.
Why were you there? I
wanted to see his daughter.
Emily?
Yes.
I think I need to talk
to a lawyer.
A lawyer who can talk to you
about the Maagd Zoektocht?
We know all about the quest.
We know Emily's the prize.
- You in love with her?
- No.
Love has nothing to do with it,
and I don't know what
you're insinuating, but...
We know you're Weten Ogen.
I'm a Grimm.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes,
I was a part of
the Maagd Zoektocht.
So were Isaac and Eli.
But I didn't have anything to do
with their deaths,
I swear to you!
A beautiful bride and a fortune,
that's certainly
enough to kill for.
Kill whoever's in your way.
You win and take everything.
I didn't kill them.
Who did?
First, I thought it was Eli, but now
that he's dead, I don't... I don't...
Frankie probably has
hit men on his payroll,
maybe it's Troyer.
I don't know!
You should talk to Troyer.
He's the one who's doing this.
What is it?
Amanda Proctor's here.
The lawyer?
She says she knows something you'll
find very helpful. She's clean.
All right.
You wanna help me?
With what?
I know who wants your head.
Daniel Troyer.
You kidding me? I never even met the guy.
What did I do to him?
One of your goons
killed his son.
Technically, he's dead
because of you.
That.
Aren't you his lawyer?
Yes.
Then why are you
telling me this?
Because he's responsible
for the death of my son
and I want him dead.
The money needs
to be transferred
into that account
tomorrow morning.
Not half the money,
all the money,
you're not making
a down payment.
No excuses.
You make it happen and you
call me when it's done.
Do you understand?
Oh.
Say hello to your wife
for me, would you?
Excuse me for letting myself in.
I'm not usually so rude...
Unless I'm really pissed.
Now put the phone down, you
don't wanna dial 911 too early.
Frankie's car.
There must be some mistake here.
Yes, a big mistake.
You tried to kill me. Twice.
No, I never tried to kill you.
Oh, you didn't,
but your boys did.
Next time tell 'em to use a gun.
It's so much easier.
No, no, don't!
If it wasn't for that guy in the
animal costume, I'd be dead!
Did he look like this?
Oh...
Oh, my God!
What are you?
Police! Back away!
Emily.
Dad. You've been shot.
Need an ambulance. 3430 Warnall
Avenue. We've got a gunshot victim.
I saw him.
I saw him again.
This time,
there were two of 'em.
How many of them are there?
Oh my God,
keep them away from me.
Ambulance is on its way.
We know you're Weten Ogen. We know
all about the Maagd Zoektocht.
I hate that, I never
wanted any part of it.
I never wanted to marry anybody.
It's their tradition, not mine.
It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
I just wanted my own life,
and look what this
stupid quest has done.
Emily, the quest
was never for them.
What?
I had to make sure you had
the strength to take over.
I don't understand.
It was always your quest.
Not theirs.
You've proved yourself to be
far more worthy than any man.
Are you gonna arrest me?
No, we're gonna
arrest your father.
But he didn't kill anyone.
It was me that did it.
Every time you killed someone,
it was to save Frankie's life.
Makes it tricky to prosecute.
Your dad's under arrest for
solicitation to kill Frankie Adkins.
Yeah, what's left of him.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, their eyes.
I don't wanna see 'em.
I just don't wanna see 'em.
Hey.
You look like
you could use some help.
Ora third arm.
It's okay. It's okay.
You look more tired
than he does.
Fun day.
All right.
I was worried.
About Kelly?
No, you. And everything
that's happening.
Stay here.
It's okay. It's okay.
Trubel.
Nick.
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
They grabbed Trubel. I tried
to stop 'em, they drugged me.
Who?
Chavez.
Where did he take her? Where is she?
So, I am thinking
of selling the house.
Find us someplace safer.
It's a little barren,
but I got us enough to start.
I don't want anybody
to know where we are.
I fed you, I changed
you, I burped you.
Why are you doing this?
What's wrong?
Is the water boiling?
If it's boiling, you gotta put the
rice in and then turn it down.
The rice is in. How do
we turn the baby down?
Oh, why don't you try? Let me deal with
the rice. It's okay, Kelly. It's okay.
Nothing can be that bad.
Maybe he has colic. How do
you know if he has colic?
I don't know. I'm still learning to
boil rice. Should we call Rosalee?
Okay, then you take Kelly.
Ah, ha! Never mind,
I'll call her.
Hear the cello counterpoint?
I hear the cello.
Whether it's counterpointing
or not, I couldn't tell you.
Oh, best part of the day.
More wine?
Absolutely.
I don't wanna know.
Adalind, is everything okay?
We've tried everything. He's been
bathed, changed, burped, pooped,
and he won't stop crying.
How do we know if it's colic?
Pretty much
if he won't stop crying.
Okay, then what do
we do about it?
Fennel sometimes helps,
nothing works all the time.
I don't care about all the time,
I just care about
right now. He...
What just happened? He's looking
at the lights on the phone.
Oh! The rice is boiling over.
Oh! Uh...
Sorry, Rosalee, gotta go.
Okay.
That solved itself.
You like the phone,
don't you, buddy, huh?
I think we should
get him his own phone.
Not till second grade.
Tradition is our lifeblood.
Loyalty, trust and honor.
Without these virtues,
family cannot survive.
But it is our traditions
that hold us together.
And no tradition is more important
than our Maagd Zoektocht.
My son's blood calls to me from the grave.
He was taken from me.
And when a man does not have
a son to inherit his legacy,
he must turn to tradition.
My daughter Emily
is all I have left.
Our Maagd Zoektocht
requires one of you
to prove your worthiness
to win her heart and her hand.
Let the Griffin choose.
Isaac has drawn
the longest feather.
He will have the first chance
to prove himself.
What is my quest?
To kill the man responsible
for my son's death.
Bring me the head
of Frankie Adkins.
I will.
Emily, I've loved you for years.
Now I finally get to prove it.
You'll make a beautiful bride.
This is good.
Really?
I haven't done much cooking.
My mom wasn't always around,
so I kind of taught myself.
A kid can only
eat so much pizza.
I know plenty
of kids who would disagree.
This is good.
I bet your mom was a good cook.
Till I was about 12
and then she,
sort of, disappeared.
Hey, it's, kind of, like my dad.
He took off when I was four.
Look, I know our arrangement is
weird and I've said this before,
but I really appreciate
you taking care of us.
He's my son, too.
I know, but I don't like
having to rely on you.
Not just you, I don't like
having to rely on anybody.
You've been great, but...
I, uh, ran into an old colleague
at the grocery store.
From your law firm?
Mmm-hmm.
He said they're understaffed.
There's possibility of a job.
Isn't it a little soon
to go back to work?
Yeah, it is.
It just made me
feel better knowing
that there was a job out there.
I need to contribute, Nick.
I don't like
feeling so helpless.
That being said, I'd like you to stay
with us in our room again tonight.
It's just I sleep
a lot better knowing
that you'll kill whatever
walks through that door.
Here you go, birthday girl.
Happy birthday.
Oh, Frankie's the best, right?
Let's get out of here.
Go get the car.
Can we go somewhere
and get burgers?
No.
Why not?
'Cause you're putting on
too much weight.
What?
Frankie! Oh, my God!
What the hell?
Who are you?
No!
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
Sean, thank you so much for coming.
Of course.
It's good to see you.
- It's been a while.
- It has.
Although I've seen your face
all over the news recently.
Well, hopefully you'll see
more of it.
We wanted to ask you...
Well, we think the time
is right for Andrew.
He's gonna announce that he's
running for mayor of Portland.
With sights on the
governorship, of course.
One election at a time.
He's becoming quite a force
to be reckoned with.
It's good to hear you say that.
I'd really like your support.
You really think
I mean something?
You're a widely respected figure
of authority here in Portland,
and we think you could
do us a lot of good.
Listen, before I agree
to anything,
I need to know a little more
about what you plan to do if...
Uh-uh. When.
If you get elected.
Well, nobody gets
elected without confidence
or the right people backing him.
Assault happened sometime after
they closed, little after 2:00.
Bodyguard, Luis Lopez,
was hit first.
Frankie Adkins, he's the owner
of the bar, he was hit next.
We ID'd the body
as Isaac Proctor.
"Proctor." Name's familiar.
Isaac is the son of criminal
defense attorney, Amanda Proctor.
I've dealt with her.
She's kept a lot of
bad people on the street.
So someone kills her son? Someone
trying to send a message?
If they are, it's a pretty
brutal candy gram.
Sword?
Pretty old school.
- Any witnesses?
- Yeah.
Frankie Adkins and his girlfriend, Lola.
She took off after he was hit.
Paramedics took care of Frankie,
who told them he was
attacked by Isaac.
Our victim.
- So Frankie killed Isaac?
- Nope.
According to Frankie,
Isaac was killed
by a guy wearing a weird
looking animal outfit.
I didn't press him.
I leave the pressing to you.
Where's the girlfriend now?
At home. She was
too scared to stick around.
She made the 911 call from a
burger joint down the street.
Let's talk to Frankie.
Inside.
Thank you.
Frank Adkins.
Yeah.
I'm Detective Griffin,
this is Detective Burkhardt.
You wanna tell us what happened?
Yeah, I do.
I was leaving
with Luis and Lola.
Luis goes to get the car.
Me and Lola were
just getting in,
then some guy sucker punches me.
I go down.
When I look up,
he's got a freaking sword
about to cut my head off.
No. Had you ever
seen him before?
And just when I thought
I was dead,
he gets taken out by some guy wearing
some kind of animal costume.
What did you do then?
You kidding me?
I hid under the car.
The guy was
tearing him to pieces.
How long did you stay there?
Till the cops came.
I'm not stupid.
It was like a nightmare.
I mean, I never seen
anything like this before.
I don't know what was going on,
but whoever killed that son
of a bitch, he saved my life.
The guy in the animal costume?
Yeah. Him.
I owe him big time.
Isaac Proctor was
arrested five years ago
for aggravated assaults
and some misdemeanors, too.
Frankie is no choirboy either.
What is the connection
between Isaac and Frankie?
Well, there's none
that I can see.
Hey, what about the bodyguard?
He's got a rap sheet,
but was he was unconscious
at the time Isaac was killed.
Plus, it would have been
self-defense, either way.
All right, so why was Isaac
trying to kill Frankie?
Frankie must've done
something to Isaac.
Maybe Isaac's mother would know.
A criminal defense attorney
probably knows what the problem is.
I think the Captain knows her.
Well, let's run it past him.
If Frankie is telling the
truth, someone else was there
when Isaac knocked him down. And
that person took out Isaac.
And Frankie described this mystery
man as wearing an animal outfit?
We're assuming
that guy was Wesen.
Isaac Proctor is, too.
I know his mother Amanda.
She's a good lawyer
but keeps bad company.
They're Weten Ogen.
Not my favorite.
So Isaac is Wesen,
whoever killed him is Wesen.
What about Frankie?
I don't know. Have you
told Amanda Proctor yet?
We wanted to do
background first.
I should go with you
on this one.
You know, Kelly,
you're not an only child.
You have a big sister.
Her name is Diana.
I hope we can all be
together someday.
I haven't seen her
in a really long time.
Rosalee?
Just checking in.
How's Kelly?
Oh, he's good,
when he's sleeping.
I put together a few things
for you and the little guy.
I can come by and drop them
off if you're not busy.
Oh, no, no, no.
We should come to you.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I think I'm getting
a little fortress fever.
Okay, I'm just here at the shop.
Okay. We are on our way.
Isaac was a good boy,
he believed in the tradition,
and he will be mourned.
But his mistake
is your opportunity.
Isaac almost succeeded
at his task
but failed at the last moment
when he was attacked.
Now, I don't know
which one of you did it,
but if I were you, I would not
turn my back on the other.
Eli, it's your turn now.
But Frankie Adkins knows
someone has tried to kill him,
and it's going to make it
that much harder on you.
Good luck.
But first, we drink to Isaac,
a brave and noble Weten Ogen.
To a brave and noble Weten Ogen.
Who should've watched his back.
You.
Eli!
Emily.
You don't have to do this.
This tradition isn't worth it.
Maybe not, but you are.
Isaac was killed.
What happened to Isaac is
not gonna happen to me.
I've got a way in.
How can you be sure,
unless you killed Isaac?
I didn't kill Isaac.
But I knew he wouldn't
be able to kill Frankie.
If Amos gets in my way,
I will kill him.
Please don't do this.
Don't go back to the club.
I'm not gonna make
the same mistake as Isaac.
He'll have more bodyguards. Shh.
Don't worry, babe.
This is our time.
You and me are gonna bring
two great families together.
And you and me are gonna make
a big family, lots of kids.
You just worry about
how to raise them.
Okay?
I'll be fine.
I'll see you later.
Do you have
any idea why your son
would try to kill
Frankie Adkins?
No. As far as I know
he didn't even know him.
We know, Isaac had a record.
I know my son had problems,
but I just can't believe that
he'd do what you're suggesting.
Did Isaac associate with anyone
who might have had it
out for Frankie?
My son's the one who is dead. Shouldn't
you be asking who killed him?
Amanda, if you want us
to find the person
responsible for
your son's death,
then you need to talk to us.
How do you know Frankie didn't kill my son?
Frankie has a record, too.
We know Frankie isn't Wesen.
What?
Detective Burkhardt is a Grimm.
And you brought him
into my office?
He knows that Isaac was Wesen.
Is this what you
wanted to see, Grimm?
I'm trying to figure out
who killed your son.
You know, I knew
you had one working for you.
I just hoped that
I'd never have to see him.
We think whoever killed your
son might also be Wesen.
Do you know where your son was
before he went to Frankie's club?
He was invited to Daniel Troyer's house.
I would assume for dinner.
Is Daniel Troyer Wesen?
Weten Ogen, like me.
What do we know
about Daniel Troyer?
He's been in Portland
for quite a while.
I know he was
investigated by the FBI.
He has some connections to a few
crime families on the east coast.
Well, Isaac tried
to kill Frankie
the same night
he was at Troyer's house.
Maybe Frankie's
connected to Troyer.
Push Troyer, see what you get.
Electric bill, telephone bill,
advertising... Oh, we won $1 million.
Yipee.
All right, I gotta get to this repair.
I'm gonna be late.
Should only take about an hour.
What is that?
I'm not sure. It's from
a guy I used to know
a long time ago in Seattle.
You wanna open it?
I'm not sure.
You want me to open it?
I'm not sure.
You know what?
Maybe I shouldn't hear this.
There's nothing
you shouldn't hear.
"Dear R,
"Don't know if you're ever going to
get this, but I'm gonna try anyway.
"Just want to let you
know that Carlos died.
"You can guess of what. He was a
cool guy, and I'm going to miss him.
"Don't know what your feeling
is about him these days,
"but he meant a lot
to you at one time.
"I still remember that
song he wrote for you."
There was a song?
I don't wanna read
any more of that.
Those are not good guys. And that
song was terrible.
I'd rather just forget that
entire part of my life.
Me, too.
Not your life,
I mean, that part of mine.
In fact everything
before I met you.
Before we talk to Troyer, are
you gonna play the Wesen card?
Not unless I have to.
Once he knows we know, we might not
be able get anything out of him.
Might not get anything
out of him anyway.
I'm Detective Burkhardt,
this is Detective Griffin.
We're looking for Daniel Troyer.
I'm his daughter, Emily.
He's in the backyard.
Can you tell me
what this is about?
We prefer to talk
to your father.
Of course.
I'll take you to him.
Check the inventory
again and find out
who was responsible
for shipping it.
Get the name.
Dad, this is Detective Burkhardt and
Griffin. They need to talk to you.
I've gotta go.
Is there a problem, gentlemen?
Do you know Isaac Proctor?
Yes. I heard
what happened to him.
It's very sad. I assume
you're investigating it.
We'd like to talk to you about
your relationship with Isaac.
I've known Isaac
since he was a kid.
His mother has handled
some legal problems for me.
Isaac and Emily
used to play together.
When was the last time
you saw him?
Last night.
He was here with us.
For what reason?
He came to see me.
What was your
relationship with him?
He was a friend.
Like my dad said, we'd known
each other since we were kids.
I'm sorry.
Look, this is very
difficult for her,
does she have to be
a part of this?
You knew the victim,
might be help to us.
I'm okay.
Do you know Frankie Adkins?
Frankie Adkins,
I don't know. Should I?
According to Mr. Adkins, Isaac
tried to kill him last night.
What? Isaac?
I don't believe it.
Why would he do that?
Do you know if Isaac
knew Frankie Adkins?
No, I don't.
Do you?
No, I'm sorry, I don't know.
What time did Isaac
leave last night?
Around 11:00, I think.
And has anyone
threatened him in any way?
Not that he ever told me about.
Did both of you stay
home after Isaac left?
Yes.
Was anyone else here
besides the three of you?
No. It was just
Isaac and us.
Nobody knows anything.
Oh, this is all
connected somehow.
Yeah, why would Isaac leave here
and go and try and kill Frankie?
Maybe Frankie and Isaac
are both in love with Emily.
Or could be they were jealous.
Well, then who killed Isaac?
All we know is he's Wesen.
Well, that's not gonna show
up on his rap sheet. It's Wu.
Wu.
You will never guess what the ME
found during Isaac's autopsy.
A feather. And not just any old feather.
It's a golden feather.
ME didn't think it had
anything to do with anything
'cause the victim
wasn't hurt by it,
as in “knocked
over by a feather."
But not having spent time
in a mental institution,
the ME does not have
the insight that I now have.
What do you think it means, Wu?
I have no idea,
except we got a grown man
walking around with a golden
feather in his pocket.
Just thought you should know.
Thank you.
What do you think it means?
I think we're grasping
at feathers.
I said it and I meant it.
Got the new guys, boss.
Bring 'em in.
Get in here.
Someone tried to
whack me last night.
As you can see, they
weren't very successful,
but I am not one to take
unnecessary risks.
Are you willing
to die to protect me?
Yes, sir.
You?
Nobody's gonna get past me, sir.
Where the hell are you?
He's asleep.
How was work?
Wow. I sound so domestic.
Work was...
You don't have to tell me.
He told me to keep Chavez's
phone, but he hasn't called.
Why tell me to keep the phone
if they're not gonna use it?
I hope Trubel's okay.
Yeah, me, too.
- And make sure that gets there tonight.
- Yes, sir.
I don't want anything
to screw up this deal.
We're out of here. Get the car.
Check the back.
You're not gonna lock up?
No, I'm not gonna lock up.
Somebody else is gonna lock up.
Now get the guys.
Boss is leaving.
Make sure everyone's
watching my back.
Oh...
You need the bathroom.
That's okay, I can wait.
No, you go first.
Are you sure? 'Cause you
look a little dirty.
Yeah, well,
you look... Wow!
Did Kelly throw up on you?
Sort of.
I'll be quick.
That tunnel must be filthy.
Yeah.
Did you find out where it goes?
Not exactly.
There was this big door,
looks like it hasn't
been opened in 100 years.
I'm gonna need some
tools to get it open.
I just realized I forgot to
bring clothes to change into.
Oh, Yeah? Well, I can
get you something.
What do you need?
Anything without
baby puke will be fine.
Hey, buddy, just so you know,
not nice to throw up
on your mom.
There wasn't much
to choose from,
so I just got you
one of my shirts.
Thanks.
You know, you should
really buy some clothes.
Use the credit card
that I got you.
Oh...
I feel a little
awkward doing that.
Yeah, well, not having
clothes is awkward.
True.
Okay.
Thank you. Your turn.
Put the car away
and stay outside.
I'm hungry, Luis.
Make me a sandwich.
Boss got hungry.
Get me some pickles.
Sure.
I'm wracking my brains, Luis.
Who put a hit on me?
The Johnny's crew,
Eleventh street...
Where's Luis?
Uh, said you were hungry
and you wanted sandwiches.
Just put the sandwiches down.
Go get Luis.
And get your ass back outside.
What the hell?
No!
Oh, my God, not again.
Someone tried to kill
Frankie Adkins again,
with the same good luck
as the first assassin.
So whoever tried to kill Frankie
here at home is our new victim?
Little Deja Wu going on. Except for
this time, it was his new bodyguard.
His own bodyguard
tried to kill him?
That's what he says.
Who tried to kill the bodyguard?
Same guy in an animal outfit.
Let me just say that Frankie
is starting to unravel.
Paramedics gave him something
to calm him down.
I think he might have done a little
self-medicating before that.
Oh, what took you guys so long?
The same thing
happened again last night,
except different.
The guy was my bodyguard, and
he tried to kill me with an ax.
What's with the swords and axes?
Why don't these morons realize you
can buy a gun literally anywhere?
But someone saved
your life again.
Oh, no, not someone,
this freak who dresses
like an animal.
The same one as before?
Oh, yeah.
You don't forget
something like this.
Sharp teeth, yellow eyes,
pointed ears,
lot of hair with stripes in it.
What happens once this
"animal" saves your life?
Does he say anything?
No, nothing.
Just kills and leaves.
Now can you think
of anyone in particular
who'd want to save your life?
No.
No.
Plenty of the opposite.
Like who?
If I knew that
I'd take care of 'em myself.
I don't mean
in an unlawful manner.
Well, if you can
think of any names...
Those yellow eyes.
I know they're not real.
It's just a mask.
Yep. Just a mask.
Victim is Eli Kemper, as in
union boss Lionel Kemper's son.
The same MO as Isaac.
Troyer was connected to Isaac.
Maybe Eli was, too.
Troyer's import-export, more than
likely he knows a union boss.
Hmm.
Axes, swords,
and golden feathers.
Anyone else think this is
getting a little mythological?
Maybe Wu was right.
Each victim
had a golden feather.
And one is bigger
than the other.
The intended victim,
Frankie, described
the killer of his
would-be killers
as having sharp teeth,
yellow eyes, pointed ears,
and lots of hair
with stripes on it.
Okay, that's...
Weten Ogen.
Yeah.
We think so.
And we met one yesterday. The
mother of one of the victims.
Wait a minute.
You're saying the killer
and the victim are
both Weten Ogen?
You could be dealing
with the Maagd Zoektocht.
- Oh, that is an
ancient Weten Ogen tradition.
I'm talking from the millennium
before the millennium.
You know, how knights
would slay dragons
to win the princess?
It's that.
Basically a maiden quest.
"Maiden quest"?
Like, to win the bride?
It's a way to facilitate
arranged marriages.
I think three
Weten Ogen bachelors, right,
are sent out
to complete the quest
to prove themselves worthy
for the hand of the
fair maiden and her dowry.
But what's weird here is the
quest doesn't normally end
with the participants' death.
Not to say that procuring
a dragon's tooth
didn't have an abnormally high
casualty rate, but still...
Maybe since these Weten Ogen
have criminal ties,
the stakes have been raised.
As in, the goal
for this quest is...
What's his name?
Frankie's head.
I mean, they're using
axes and swords, right?
Bringing in the head
of the enemy,
it's pretty standard challenge.
So Isaac and Eli were
opponents in this quest.
So then, who's
the beautiful maiden?
That would be Troyer's daughter.
Then Troyer must be Weten
Ogen as are all the suitors.
We know Troyer is one.
You know what?
Find the third competitor,
and that's probably
your murderer because they...
You should find him
quickly though
because this quest won't end until
Frankie's head is delivered.
Yeah, and don't expect Troyer to
just, you know, tell you who it is.
But he does have to
bless the third competitor,
who will also have
that third golden feather.
Yeah, we're gonna
keep an eye on Troyer.
All right, thanks.
Wow.
Weten Ogen.
Honey, would you
slay a dragon for me?
Oh, my God, a flock of 'em.
Or whatever you call
a great gathering of dragons.
My knight in shining...
No, but I don't do armor.
I got a nickel allergy.
I honestly did not think
you had it in you.
Excuse me?
With both Isaac and Eli out of
your way, you have no competition.
Eli is dead?
We drink to his honor.
He tried.
I didn't do it.
Of course, you didn't.
No, Mr. Troyer,
I swear to you
I had nothing to do with it.
Amos, you've proven
your cunning,
but you still must
complete your quest.
I don't even want to be here.
My mother made me do this.
I don't want Emily. I'm...
I'm gay.
No one backs out
of the Maagd Zoektocht.
Now you bring me
the head of Frankie Adkins,
or I'll kill you myself.
That son of a bitch
killed my son.
Suspect just left.
Take him down.
Roger that.
Exit the vehicle!
What is this about?
Hands where I can see 'em!
I swear to you I haven't done anything!
Hands up.
That's nothing,
that's just a feather.
How well did you know
Isaac Proctor?
I didn't know him.
What about Eli Kemper?
No.
How do you know Troyer?
He's a friend of my father's.
Why were you there? I
wanted to see his daughter.
Emily?
Yes.
I think I need to talk
to a lawyer.
A lawyer who can talk to you
about the Maagd Zoektocht?
We know all about the quest.
We know Emily's the prize.
- You in love with her?
- No.
Love has nothing to do with it,
and I don't know what
you're insinuating, but...
We know you're Weten Ogen.
I'm a Grimm.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes,
I was a part of
the Maagd Zoektocht.
So were Isaac and Eli.
But I didn't have anything to do
with their deaths,
I swear to you!
A beautiful bride and a fortune,
that's certainly
enough to kill for.
Kill whoever's in your way.
You win and take everything.
I didn't kill them.
Who did?
First, I thought it was Eli, but now
that he's dead, I don't... I don't...
Frankie probably has
hit men on his payroll,
maybe it's Troyer.
I don't know!
You should talk to Troyer.
He's the one who's doing this.
What is it?
Amanda Proctor's here.
The lawyer?
She says she knows something you'll
find very helpful. She's clean.
All right.
You wanna help me?
With what?
I know who wants your head.
Daniel Troyer.
You kidding me? I never even met the guy.
What did I do to him?
One of your goons
killed his son.
Technically, he's dead
because of you.
That.
Aren't you his lawyer?
Yes.
Then why are you
telling me this?
Because he's responsible
for the death of my son
and I want him dead.
The money needs
to be transferred
into that account
tomorrow morning.
Not half the money,
all the money,
you're not making
a down payment.
No excuses.
You make it happen and you
call me when it's done.
Do you understand?
Oh.
Say hello to your wife
for me, would you?
Excuse me for letting myself in.
I'm not usually so rude...
Unless I'm really pissed.
Now put the phone down, you
don't wanna dial 911 too early.
Frankie's car.
There must be some mistake here.
Yes, a big mistake.
You tried to kill me. Twice.
No, I never tried to kill you.
Oh, you didn't,
but your boys did.
Next time tell 'em to use a gun.
It's so much easier.
No, no, don't!
If it wasn't for that guy in the
animal costume, I'd be dead!
Did he look like this?
Oh...
Oh, my God!
What are you?
Police! Back away!
Emily.
Dad. You've been shot.
Need an ambulance. 3430 Warnall
Avenue. We've got a gunshot victim.
I saw him.
I saw him again.
This time,
there were two of 'em.
How many of them are there?
Oh my God,
keep them away from me.
Ambulance is on its way.
We know you're Weten Ogen. We know
all about the Maagd Zoektocht.
I hate that, I never
wanted any part of it.
I never wanted to marry anybody.
It's their tradition, not mine.
It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
I just wanted my own life,
and look what this
stupid quest has done.
Emily, the quest
was never for them.
What?
I had to make sure you had
the strength to take over.
I don't understand.
It was always your quest.
Not theirs.
You've proved yourself to be
far more worthy than any man.
Are you gonna arrest me?
No, we're gonna
arrest your father.
But he didn't kill anyone.
It was me that did it.
Every time you killed someone,
it was to save Frankie's life.
Makes it tricky to prosecute.
Your dad's under arrest for
solicitation to kill Frankie Adkins.
Yeah, what's left of him.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, their eyes.
I don't wanna see 'em.
I just don't wanna see 'em.
Hey.
You look like
you could use some help.
Ora third arm.
It's okay. It's okay.
You look more tired
than he does.
Fun day.
All right.
I was worried.
About Kelly?
No, you. And everything
that's happening.
Stay here.
It's okay. It's okay.
Trubel.
Nick.
