Grimm (2011–2017): Season 6, Episode 5 - The Seven Year Itch - full transcript

Previously on "Grimm"...

There are patterns on this cloth.

- I've seen them before.
- I can see it.

Can you draw what you're seeing?

I've never seen anything like this.

[gunshot]

You chose the wrong side, Sean.

- No, you're dead.
- Does that really matter?

- Get the hell out of here.
- I'm not gonna

make it that easy for you.

You have a baby in you.

- More than one.
- What?

Oh, God.

[dramatic music]

_

[rustling]

[slurping]

Ugh, we're gonna do this again.

No, this isn't good for either of us.

Helen, could you listen?

Good boy.

[tense music]

[ominous music]

[grunting]

[gunshot]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[exhaling shakily]

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps approaching, heavy breathing]

[gasps]

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
- It's okay. I just...

I don't know, I, um...

I thought I heard something.

It's probably nothing.

Must be strange being back here

after everything that happened.

It's a lot better than
when I came back and found

- you and Kelly gone.
- You know I never would have...

I know.

Let's go back to bed.

I'm trying to tell you
you made the right choice.

No, I'm sorry, I can't do that.

Ah!

I... Helen, there's a weird
guy. Let me call you back.

Are you okay?

Hungry.

Need something to eat.

Look, I don't have any food.

Uh, I'm gonna call 911 for you.

- 'Cause you look really bad.
- [phone beeps]

- [phone line trilling]
- 911, what's your emergency?

Hi, look, I'm in Stillman Park right now

and there's this guy on
the ground and he's filthy.

Um, I have no idea who
he is, but you need to

send somebody here
because I think he's, like,

- starving to death.
- Are you near him?

Yes, I'm right by him.

Uh, yeah, yeah, he's not here.

Um, I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what happened.

[grunts]

[thud]

[pained grunts]

[tense music]

[light music]

[sighs]

You gonna follow me everywhere?

I like your new place, Sean.

But I'm not following you.

I'm haunting you. There is a difference.

Well, it's annoying in either case.

You know, it's been a long
time since I've seen her.

- Seen who?
- Diana.

I was there when she was
born. It's quite an experience.

I'm not really used to
bringing life into the world.

Is that what this is about?

You want some thanks for
being there when I couldn't be?

Well, thank you, really.
Thank you for being there.

I really appreciate
everything that you've done

for Diana and me.

It's too bad you didn't think of that

before, you know, that betrayal thing.

[laughs] Now is this gonna
be a regular treat with you?

You're gonna keep showing up
here and making me feel sorry?

Because I don't do sorry very well.

- Do I look shocked?
- Look, we had some

good times together
and I really appreciate

everything that you've
done for all of us.

For Diana, for Adalind, and me.

Did I leave anybody out?

Because I would really
like to be done with this,

- once and for all.
- I'm not sure I can commit

to a half-assed haunting, Sean.

I mean, you wouldn't
respect me if I were to take

a cheap thank you and drifted
off into whatever awaits me.

I think we have some real
issues to work through.

I'm tired. I just wanna get some sleep.

I'd love it if you got
the hell out of my room.

Well, there's the
problem. Am I in your room

or am I just in your mind?

Now that's awesome.

Am I even here?

Okay, fine. You take the bedroom.

[panting]

Now we're getting somewhere.

I've heard the only way
to battle your demons

is to take a trip to their hell.

- [gunshot]
- [grunts]

[gunshots]

[grunts]

[gunshots]

[grunts]

[water splashing]

[sighs]

[eerie music]

We have one strong
heartbeat, that's for sure.

- How's it look?
- It's healthy?

Yes, exactly as it should at
this point in the pregnancy.

- Just the one?
- One's not enough?

No, no. One's great.

- It's just, we thought...
- We thought

- maybe there was more.
- Yeah.

[hearts beating]

- What's wrong?
- I think...

Well, there is a second heartbeat.

Really?

Yeah, I guess you know
your body pretty well.

Congratulations.

- You're gonna have...
- Twins.

- It's just twins.
- Well, maybe not.

Well, this is a surprise.

There is a third heartbeat.

- Three?
- Mm-hmm.

[sighs]

I love you and we can do this.

I'm pretty sure I was dead.

Well, you were there. You should know.

I was shot.

Look, I know you think you were shot,

but maybe it was something else.

I felt the bullets, Hank.

I... I went down.

I knew I was dying. I could feel it.

[sighs] And then I wasn't.

I mean, you saw what happened with Eve.

I can't explain anything
that's been going on.

I keep thinking I need
to be carrying that stick.

- Are you?
- No.

But it's like...

you get used to carrying your weapon,

and when you don't have it,
you feel like you're missing

- a piece of yourself.
- I know,

but we have a license for that.

I try to stop thinking about it,

but it's not working out so well.

Where is it?

I put it back in the tunnel.

Don't you think you
should put it someplace

a little further out?

No, I wanna understand what happened.

I wanna know where it came from.

I wanna know why the men
who found it buried it

and I wanna know what's written

on that cloth that's wrapped around it.

Sometimes we can want too much.

And what if we found
out and wish we hadn't?

Maybe that's why it's buried.

Then why didn't they just destroy it?

Maybe they tried and they couldn't.

We are dealing with
stuff that may not have

an explanation we can understand.

[cell phone rings]

It's Wu.

Where are we supposed to be?

Stillman Square Park.

We're 15 away.

I do not like dead bodies
on an empty stomach.

Okay, I'm ready.

- Is Daddy coming down?
- I don't know.

He's in the bedroom.

I think he was having
bad dreams last night.

Oh. Well, that's too bad.

Hey. How long you been here?

About 15 minutes.

Oh, I'm sorry. I overslept.

Did everything go okay last night?

Oh, yeah. No, we had a
great time, didn't we?

Uh-huh.

Okay, well, we'll call you later.

- Okay.
- I like the new place.

- Thanks.
- Me too.

Hey, Adalind?

Yeah?

Have you ever dealt with a...

What?

Never mind.

Hey, call me later.

Okay.

[door closes]

[indistinct radio chatter]

So I'm guessing no ID.

I think what you see is what you get.

We did a search for clothes,

but besides a kid's dirty t-shirt,

a pile of rags and a catcher's mitt...

Which I suppose could have
covered his essentials...

This is it. We also didn't
find a wallet or keys

- or a cell phone.
- Who found him?

Jogger found him around 6:45.

Thought he was asleep on the first lap,

At mile three, he
stopped for a closer look

and had a mild freak out when
he realized this guy was done.

Where's this pile of rags?

Over here.

Stuffed under some bushes, but I think

they've been here for quite a while.

Smell good, too.

- You want me to get them out?
- No, leave it for CSU

just in case.

And run the vic's prints.

Check to see if there were any reports

of a naked man in a park
some time last night.

Uh, this is Portland.

I might have to narrow that down.

So he either came to
the park fully clothed

and was robbed of everything he had,

or he came to the park with no clothes

and was killed for no personal gain.

Might have just been some sadistic

sexual encounter gone bad.

- Really?
- No.

It's Wesen.

[beeping]

He may not have a future,

but he's got just enough of a past.

Jeremy Tauberg. Arrested for
disorderly conduct last year

and a DUI three years ago.

Local address in the South West.

Let's take it from that address.

[woman screaming]

- [whimpering]
- Please help me, he fell in.

I can't get him out.

He was just playing in the dirt.

- [whimpering]
- His foot's stuck on something.

It's gotta be a root.

- [grunting]
- Oh, my God.

[screams]

- Oh, my God!
- [crying]

Definitely been down there a while.

With that many roots, I'd say at least

a couple years.

Evidence of clothing, pretty rotted.

I'll know more when I get
the post-mortem interval.

Pieces of that clothing on the corpse

look a lot like the one
stuffed in the bushes.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

So a body gets buried underground,

it starts to rot, it gets smaller.

Leaving a hole where
the body was, right?

- Yeah.
- Kid starts playing,

ground collapses, kid falls in the hole.

- I'm following.
- Doesn't this hole

seem a little big for one body?

Oh, could be a big body.

Yeah, but the mother said the
kid was playing in the dirt.

I don't see any dirt in this park.

- It's all grass.
- All right,

so if everything is grass,

how did the dirt get dug
up before the kid fell in?

Somebody did some digging
before the kid started playing.

But why would somebody
start digging right where

a body was buried,
unless they knew the body

- was buried right here?
- So it's either

a complete coincidence or
the killer was the digger.

Hey, we believe in a lot of
things but not coincidence.

You see any signs of a pick or a shovel?

I do not. But I do see
some dirt from the hole

scattered in the direction
of our other body.

There was more than
one body in that hole.

And one of the bodies got out.

Wearing some nasty-ass clothes.

Which is why Mr. Tauberg is lying

naked and dead in the park.

I'm so glad this world makes sense.

- More coffee?
- Yeah. And more steak.

[chuckles] Seriously?

And this time make it rare.

When was the last time you ate?

Been a while.

That's the thing. You can never tell.

They always look bigger than they are.

But this last one...

she didn't last anywhere near
as long as I thought she would.

She was pretty. That's why.

I was distracted by her face. [laughs]

Won't make that mistake again.

Oh. And why don't you bring
me a couple Bloody Marys?

'Cause I feel like it is
gonna be a beautiful day.

[phone line trilling]

- Steiger.
- It's Renard.

- Been a long time, Sean.
- Yeah, I know.

Look, I need to see you.

- When?
- Tonight.

- I can't wait.
- [phone beeps]

Tauberg, wearing a
sport coat with no tie,

had drinks at Flannigan's
with a few friends after work.

Walked home about 11:00.

Co-workers said he always
walked through the park

'cause he lived on the other side.

His address is on Sycamore.

A few blocks on the other side.

So was Tauberg a target
because he was convenient

or because of his clothes?

- Tauberg was 6'1, 170.
- That narrows it down a little.

Got a hit on Tauberg's credit card.

Used this morning at Sunnyside Diner.

It's about a mile from the park.

You wanna check it out?
Or you want me to...

- Can you describe him?
- Uh, normal looking, I guess.

Brown hair. Maybe six foot tall.

Not heavy. Just, you know, regular.

Except for what he said.

- That was not regular.
- What did he say?

I don't remember his exact words,

but something like

whatever he ate was bigger
than he thought it was.

But then he said that
"she" wasn't as big

as he thought "she" was.

And something about
her having a pretty face

and he was distracted by that.

I don't know, I mean, the way it sounded

was like he had just
chowed down on some babe.

- It just weirded me out a little.
- [cell phone rings]

Do you think you can give a description

- to a police sketch artist?
- Sure.

What'd he do, anyway?

He's a person of interest
in a murder investigation.

Burkhardt. Yeah.

We can be there in 20 minutes.

Uh, wait. Is the vic female?

Thank you.

M.E. is ready. The vic was female.

Had a feeling.

Victim was mid-30s.

Despite skin covering
much of the corpse,

there was very little
decompositional fluid.

An unembalmed adult normally takes

anywhere from eight to
twelve years to skeletonize.

After seven, there should
be far less skin present

than there is here.

Any idea how long she was buried?

Uh, longer than five years. Maybe more.

We'll know more when
we get the bugs back.

But some of her skin
was somehow preserved

and hardened into a waxy shell.

I took subcutaneous samples
and found traces of an enzyme

- I've never seen before.
- Similar to anything?

Digestive. But that's not all.

See this cut? That was made either

before she died or right after.

And there wasn't a trace
of organ tissue left inside.

Her organs were removed.

Yeah, but there were no
cut marks on the bones,

which you'd get if
someone was using a knife.

However, there are marks on the bones

that are indicative of teeth.

Notice the indentations.

Pretty much all over the place.

Looks like someone gnawed on it.

They're all like that.

Every bone in her body.

- Mommy.
- What?

Do you know Meisner?

- How do you know that name?
- Daddy said his name

a lot of times last night.

- Why?
- I don't know.

Sometimes he said it really
loud like he was mad at him.

- Do you know him?
- Meisner? Uh, yeah.

Or I did know him. He died, honey.

Oh, that's sad. What happened to him?

He got into a very bad
fight with some very bad men.

Was Daddy one of them?

[sighs] Are you ready for lunch?

I know Meisner.

Mm, well, you met him once
a really long time ago.

But you were so small.

I don't think you'd remember that.

I do remember. He was
in a helicopter with me.

Oh, right. That.

What do you remember about him?

- He was nice.
- Yeah.

- He was nice.
- He wanted the King to fly.

I am the King!

No!

I don't think he did.

I wanna see Meisner again.

Uh, well, that will
be a little difficult,

'cause like I said, he died.

I know. But I'd like to see him anyway.

Oh. And Eve is here.

What? Where?

In the wall. She doesn't feel good.

She was drawing, too.

Honey, I'm gonna go down there.

If Kelly makes any noises,
you just let me know, okay?

Okay.

Eve? Oh, my God! Eve!

Can you hear me?

Okay.

What are you doing down here?

I gotta get you out of here.

You gotta get up. You gotta stand up.

All right.

You're gonna have to go first. Come on.

[grunts]

Okay, I'm right behind you.

[grunts]

You got it?

Ohh.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay. I got you.

Right over here.

I got you.

Will you get me a glass of water?

Okay, just lay back, lay back.

- Okay.
- [water running]

Is she gonna live in my bed now?

No, sweetie, she's just resting.

Is she gonna die?

I hope not.

But I think she's got a fever.

I'm gonna go get her a washcloth, okay?

Diana? Diana?

[scoffs]

[sighs]

Diana?

Diana?

Oh, I really don't think it's
a good idea for you to be...

down here.

[ominous music]

Yeah, I think I got something.

- Eh, pretty close.
- [door opens]

Nick, that better be you down there.

Yeah, it's me and Hank.

- We thought you would be here.
- We had a prenatal exam.

- Everything okay?
- Okay, okay, and okay.

- What? Three?
- Apparently, yes.

- Well, congratulations!
- Thanks.

- Really happy for you guys.
- Oh, boy.

What are you guys looking for?

- This.
- Ataktos Fuse.

Look at you, reading Greek.

I think there's a translation here.

- In Latin.
- Oh, let's find out what it means.

So what, does your
victim look like that?

One of them.

Uh-oh. There more than one?

Yeah, we think he's responsible

for two very different crimes.

We just haven't been
able to connect them.

Ataktos Fuse, or Bestia Festiva,

loosely translated means "party animal."

- Party animal? Really?
- Yeah, that's what it says.

Yeah, right here. "Ab
ista Bestia Festiva

Dionysus principium ducit."

Which translates to...

"Your party animal was the
inspiration for Dionysus."

Good old Dionysus.
God of wine and orgies.

Wait, this can't be right.

It says the Ataktos Fuse is immortal.

Well, that's obviously a metaphor.

No, it says it resurrects
from the earth for one day

- every seven years.
- Seven years.

Sounds like he's in the
ballpark for another victim.

And he only comes above
ground for 24 hours?

- According to this.
- If I was up for one day

every seven years,
I'd be a party animal.

Although in those 24 hours,
it needs to find a food source

to take underground and feed on.

And by food source, you mean...

Somebody big enough to
sustain them underground.

So this guy might be
looking for his next

- plus-size stockpile.
- [cell phone vibrates]

Wu just sent a facial composite

of the guy from the diner.

So that's our Ataktos Fuse.

Wait a minute.

I've seen this face before.

- I think I know this guy.
- How could you know him if he's only

above ground for one
day every seven years?

No, it was more recent than that.

Then it can't be the same guy.

No, I'm telling you, it's the same guy.

I've seen this face somewhere.

- Will you send me this sketch?
- [cell phone rings]

We have less than 24
hours to figure that out

because if we don't find him tonight,

he's gone another seven years.

Hey, Adalind. Everything okay?

Eve's here. She's been living

- in the tunnels.
- What?

And she's in pretty bad shape.

I didn't know she was
here. Diana sensed her.

- Can you come home?
- Yeah, I'll be there

- as soon as I can.
- Thanks.

Eve has been living in the tunnels.

- For how long?
- I don't know.

Adalind just found out. I gotta get home

- and deal with this.
- I'll drop you off

and I'll head back to the precinct.

[pop music]

Oh. Did I order that?

From the gentleman down the bar.

[chuckles]

You know that guy?

I don't think so.

Hey, what are you gonna do?

Find out where my drink is.

I don't know what you
think you're doing,

but I'm going outside for a smoke,

where if you have the
nerve to show your ass,

I'm gonna kick it from here to Houston.

Otherwise, you better be gone.

You got me?

Loud and clear.

Uh, bartender.

If you please.

Hi. Brought you a drink.

What are you trying
to do now, pick me up?

No, I just felt sorry for you
since I'm picking up your girl

and we'll be having a real
good time and you're not.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[sighs]

Cheers.

[pop music]

- Hey.
- [laughs]

Thank you for the drink,

but I think you should
probably get out of here.

I don't think he was too happy
about you buying me a drink.

Are you?

Yeah.

I did just meet him. [laughs]

Then it shouldn't be
too hard to forget him.

Bartender. Round of drinks
for everyone who thinks

it's a great night to be alive!

[cheering]

Let's turn this music up, too.

- Get the party started, huh?
- [cheering]

♪ We can rock all night ♪

♪ Rock, rock we can rock all night ♪

♪ Get your girls and
your guys, we can rock ♪

- Okay, let's do this.
- Okay.

♪ Rock, rock, rock we
can rock all night ♪

♪ Rock, rock we can rock all night ♪

♪ Rock, rock we can rock... ♪

What do you say you and me take a walk?

- Sure.
- ♪ You can rock ♪

♪ Oh, we'll be dancing ♪

♪ We'll be dancing ♪

You are so much fun.

Gotta live for the moment.

Did you carve all that
stuff in the tunnel?

I'm not sure. I think so.

I should have told you
guys I was down there.

How long were you down there?

Since Monroe and Rosalee's.

I don't even know how long that's been.

I wanted to leave, and
then every time I tried,

my body just couldn't move.

Diana knew you were down there.

[sighs] She knew you were drawing.

She was drawing the same thing.

A lot of them are the same.

I think it's time I told you I'm sorry

for what I did to you.

[door opening]

I told Nick you were here.

How are you feeling?

Like I really shouldn't be here.

I don't think you're in any condition

to go anywhere else right now.

- Who drew these?
- Diana.

- I saw them, too.
- Where?

In the tunnel.

[eerie music]

You did this?

Yeah, I remember.

My hands were all cut up.

They're not anymore.

Where's all this coming from?

I don't know.

I think it's connected
to what healed us.

Nick?

- Yeah?
- Hank's on the phone.

They've got another body.

It is really pretty here.

It's beautiful.

How long have you lived here?

In Portland? A long time.

You know, years ago, all of this land

was owned by a very
distinguished young gentleman

who recognized the
need to preserve nature

for future generations.

It's too bad we can't thank him.

I wonder what Portland
was like back then.

Well, you would have been in
the minority, for one thing.

In 1850, this was a frontier town.

There were five men to every woman.

[chuckles] I'd be
happy with one good one.

[sighs] This is gonna make me crazy.

Maybe it's somebody
you used to hunt with.

What? No.

How about one of Bud's friends?

I think we kinda know
all of Bud's friends.

What if it was a customer?

- Yours or mine?
- Either.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Ahh!

Maybe his hair was different
last time you saw him.

Right!

Hair.

Mm, wrong.

Well, try glasses or a beard.

Yeah, glasses.

[gasps] No!

Beard.

Oh, my God.

- I don't know this guy.
- What? You don't?

- After all this?
- No, I mean,

I don't know him personally.

He's the guy from the park.

Monroe, do you know him or not?

Yes! We both do! We've
seen him a hundred times!

- Who is it?
- William Stillman.

- The statue?
- He was one of

Portland's earliest settlers.

The park is named after him.

Stillman Park.

Oh, my God. That's where
the bodies were found.

And the book said it
was an immortal Wesen.

You're saying it's
actually William Stillman.

You tell me.

- Oh, we gotta call Nick.
- Call him.

Same type of puncture wound.

But Donald Simpson here has his clothes.

So why kill him?

Bartender said the victim
was with a woman at the bar.

But she left with another
guy who bought her a drink.

- [cell phone rings]
- ID'd him off the composite.

It's our guy.

Monroe's FaceTiming me.

- Monroe.
- Nick, we know who it is.

That's why I'm FaceTiming you.
We have to show you.

It's William Stillman.

No, Monroe, that's the park.

No, it's William Stillman. The guy.

I drew the beard on
him. It's the same guy!

That's how I knew I had seen him.

The book said he was immortal, right?

And if he really comes
up out of the ground

only once every seven
years, and he comes up

out of the park... His park.

I mean, come on.

No wonder he donated the land.

That's where he's taking the girl.

- What girl?
- The one he's gonna kill.

[knocking]

[buzzer sounds, door unlocks]

Things haven't been
going so well for you.

- They haven't.
- I voted for you.

Why'd you quit?

- [sighs] It wasn't me.
- Looked like you.

[laughs]

You're telling me someone used

Verfluchte Zwillingsschwester on you?

That's not why I'm here. I...

- I need your help.
- Well, I didn't think

you came in to buy a guitar.

What's the problem?

- I'm being haunted.
- Mm.

Anybody you know?

- Yeah.
- Were you responsible

- for the death?
- In a way.

You wanna narrow that down a little?

Look, I killed him to
put him out of his misery.

And this is the thanks I get.

I just wanna know if it's
real or if I'm losing my mind.

All right, all right, all right.

[sighs] This isn't gonna be simple.

What'd you bring me
in order to find out?

This was my father's.

And his father's before him.

[sighs]

Hmm.

- You want this bad.
- Yeah.

How bad?

All right.

Let's go find out if this ghost is real.

This way.

[ominous music]

[grunting]

Aspirateur d'Esprits.

A spirit vacuum.

If any spirits are attached to you,

this will pull them out.

[sighs] What am I supposed to do?

Take off your clothes and get in.

- Seriously?
- You wanna find out

if your haunting is real, don't you?

If it's all in your
head, nothing will happen.

[breathing deeply]

What are you doing?

I'm just taking it all in.

Smell that air.

Listen to those crickets.

Look at those stars.

Do you feel it? Do you feel it all?

That's life.

So many people just miss...

living.

I'm just so happy to be alive.

You know, I think we're gonna be
spending a lot of time together.

I hope so.

Ahh, ahh!

Ahh! Ah! Ah!

No! No! Ah! No!

[screams]

- [explosion]

So... Portland's celebrated pioneer

was a 200-year-old cicada Wesen.

Makes you wonder.

How many bodies are buried in this park.

Or not.

[eerie music]

A mind is a terrible thing to lose.
