Grimm s04e04 Episode Script
Dyin' on a Prayer
Previously on Grimm We need to talk.
She's a suspect in a double homicide and I'm having a bit of a problem with this.
I think you're gonna have to tell him the truth, Nick.
- You're the Grimm.
- What do you want? There are people who find what you are and what you can do very important.
And, Theresa.
Tell no one.
For your sake and theirs.
In order for you to help your friend, you need to know what was in the potion.
Here's the spell she used.
Can you reverse it? I need a place that's untainted by another Hexenbiest.
We could go to the Spice Shop.
Please, get me out of here.
It's a treacherous journey.
You will need your strength.
Eat this.
Oh, my God, you have food.
"Oh, remember that you fashioned me from clay! "Will you then bring me down to dust?" This doesn't make sense.
What doesn't make sense? How Adalind did this.
For this to have worked, Adalind would've had to have lost her powers at some point.
Yeah, she did.
Then that would explain the Grimm's blood at work here.
Actually, Nick's blood.
That's how she lost her powers.
Even so, she would have had to undergo the Contaminatio Ritualis while she was pregnant.
With my grandchild.
Which makes the child even more valuable than I'd imagined.
I should have given Adalind more credit.
This is going to take much longer than I thought.
Whoa! What the hell! Monroe! Someone threw a brick.
It's not just a brick.
What? A Wolfsangel.
It's German.
It means "wolf trap.
" It's a warning.
Is it because a Grimm showed up at our wedding? Uh-uh.
I think it's because we got married.
It's Mischehen.
Some Wesen are against mixed marriages.
You must know that.
Yes, but a brick through the window? I'm calling Nick.
If it's Wesen, he can't help.
If you're interested in your friend ever being a Grimm again, let's board up the window and get back to work.
Wow, that smells great.
In the kitchen.
Well, I didn't think it was coming from the bathroom.
Ooh! A stir-fry.
Good idea.
Yeah, it's ready when you are.
Wanna get Trubel? Yeah, I'll get her.
Trubel.
Dinner.
Nick! You better get up here.
Where is she? She's gone.
Her bag, everything.
Did she say anything to you? No.
Anything to you? No.
I can't believe this.
No, Something must have happened.
She wouldn't have just left without saying anything.
Maybe she did.
She wouldn't have just left this.
Ferula Tingitana.
I got some in the back room.
Do you need anything else? Time.
That would be next to the parsley and sage, of course.
No, the other kind.
I should have known you'd Will you excuse me? Look, I just want you to know that when all this is over, however long it takes, we are going to have our honeymoon.
All right.
Bed time.
Lights out in ten.
And I don't want to hear that video game, mister.
Okay, Mom.
You can't be here, Keith.
I want to see my family.
You're drunk.
Sara.
I wanna see my boy and my wife.
I'm not your wife anymore.
You are my wife! It's over.
Deal with it! Don't do this.
I'm calling the police.
You can't take away my family! Get out! Leave her alone! This is between your mom and me.
You go to your room! No! I said, you go to your room! You do this to me, you know.
You make me hurt you.
I don't do this to you.
This is who you are.
Go, David! Go! Go.
Go, go, go.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Run.
Get back here! Sara! Ugh! Sara! Stop! If you don't come back, I'll kill us all! Excuse me.
I'm looking for Sara Fisher.
She was just admitted.
I'm her brother.
Room 404, which is right over there.
But just so you know, visiting hours are about to end.
Thank you.
Hey.
That son of a bitch! Ben, don't.
Did you call the police? I didn't have time, but the doctors did once I got here.
Oh, God, Sara.
I'm sorry.
How long are they keeping you? Just overnight, in case of concussion.
If he ever touches you again Please.
It's been a rough night.
Okay? How you doing, David? Okay.
What happened to your wrist? He sprained it when he fell.
Did your stepdad do that to you? Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, it's past visiting hours.
It's okay.
Never again, Sara.
Thank God, she's here.
Don't do that.
I needed to make sure you weren't followed.
You don't think I know what I'm doing? Yeah, you don't know everything.
That's why I'm here.
I didn't tell you something.
Yeah, that you were leaving.
That's why I left my black knight, so you'd know I was here.
I was trying to be safe.
You know that FBI Agent, I think her name's Chavez? She's Wesen.
You saw her Woge? Yeah, when she kidnapped me.
What're you talking about? I wasn't supposed to tell anybody.
It was sort of like a threat, against me and you.
Which is why I'm here.
Okay, why would the FBI wanna kidnap you? No, she said it had nothing to do with the FBI.
There were three guys with her, they grabbed me off the street when I was riding Juliette's bike, put a bag over my head, and took me to some old warehouse.
And then she Woged, right in my face.
She wanted to see if I was a Grimm, Nick.
Did she come and see you? Yeah, she did.
She said it was just between the two of us.
Why don't you tell me about the young lady living in your house, Theresa Rubel? She's awfully handy with a machete.
She was very interested in you.
What did you say to her? Nothing.
But, Nick, she said there were people that were very interested in my services.
Said that being able to identify and destroy Wesen influence in society was like a very valuable gift.
She wanted me to be a part of some group.
And she told me to think about it and not to tell anyone, otherwise they'd, you know, have to kill us or whatever.
She didn't say anything else about who this group was or where they were? No, she just said she'd be in contact with me.
I was hoping you'd know who they were.
I have no idea.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I was afraid they'd hurt you and Juliette.
I think you should come back home.
Nick If they find out that you just suddenly left, they might think that you told me.
You and I have to remain very close, at least until we can figure out who Chavez is and what it is we're dealing with.
Now, if she contacts you again Trust me, I'm telling you.
Good.
Look, all I'm saying is that the Wolfsangel isn't necessarily a symbol of hate.
Like, in the 17th century, royal foresters used them, you know, as a boundary marker.
Royal foresters didn't throw a brick through our window, Monroe! I know, I know.
And to be fair, it was unfortunately appropriated by an SS Panzer Division in World War ll.
But originally-originally, a Wolfsangel was a trap, literally "wolf-hook.
" In fact, a lot of Blutbaden perished as a Okay, you're not helping.
We're done.
Done? That's it? For tonight.
It needs to garen lassen.
What do you mean? Like, ferment? In a way.
I suggest you two go home and get a little sleep.
What about you? No.
I won't be done for a while.
Um, yeah, sleep is good.
Make yourself at home.
Lord God of all the earth, guide your hand and cast your protection upon the blood of my blood.
Sara! Shut up, you damn dogs.
What the hell? What do we got? Nothing but fun and games.
By that, I mean I don't know what the hell we're dealing with.
Victim's name is Keith Harrow.
Who found the body? That would be me.
Woman who lives here, Sara Fisher, was signed in at Treeview Hospital last night.
Hospital made the domestic abuse call.
Ms.
Fisher has a restraining order, which the vic didn't pay much attention to.
In retrospect, he should have.
Looks like there's something coming out of every orifice.
Clay, I think.
My guess is Ultisol, judging by the reddish color.
Not exactly native to northwest climates.
I've heard of Russian mob guys pouring cement down an informant's throat, but clay's a first.
Where would they get it all? Maybe they brought a cement mixer.
With a lot of clay in it.
What's going on? Keith! Hey, sir! You can't come out here.
That's my brother! What happened? Hey! We got it, Wu.
What's your name? Nate Harrow.
Your brother's body was discovered by one of our officers in response to a domestic abuse call.
My God, he's dead? Yes.
I don't believe it.
This is an active crime scene, sir.
My brother was murdered? We won't know that until after the autopsy.
Was he shot, stabbed? What's that all over his body? Who did this? Did you know your brother had a restraining order against him being on this property? Where's Sara? Answer my question.
Yeah, I knew.
He tried calling me last night, but I didn't get the message till this morning.
But I could tell he was messed up.
He said he was coming over here.
If anybody killed him, it was Sara.
His ex-wife? She hated him.
Keith wasn't no saint, but he was trying to get his life together.
She either did this, or hired somebody to.
Sir, this officer's gonna take down your information.
We'll call you when we know more.
Come on.
There's no way his wife was strong enough to do that to him.
Unless she's Wesen.
Yeah, what kind of Wesen would use clay to kill somebody? I think we need to talk to her.
But the only way we're going to find out if she's Wesen is to bring Just in case.
I'm not letting you go back to that house unless he's behind bars.
He never stays in jail, Ben.
Well, then you and David will come live with me.
He'd find me.
You don't know what happens when he gets like this.
He changes.
Yeah, into something evil.
No, it's more than that.
Something happens to him.
I can't explain it.
Maybe I'm just crazy.
No, you're not.
It's okay.
This is not your fault, Sara.
Please.
You just, you married a monster, that's all.
Sara Fisher? Yeah.
I'm Detective Burkhardt, this is my partner, Detective Griffin.
We've just come from your home.
Is this about Keith? Your name, sir? I'm Ben Fisher.
I'm Sara's brother.
Did you arrest Keith? This your son? Yes, that's David.
It's probably best if David waits outside with Theresa while we speak with you and your brother.
Hey, David.
David, can you go outside with Theresa while your uncle and I talk to these men? That's a pretty ugly-looking bad guy you got there.
You know, I've seen a few like that.
You have? Sure.
You want me to tell you about 'em? Okay.
Let's go in here.
What happened? An officer went to your house in response to the report of domestic violence.
He found your husband's body.
Keith's dead? I'm afraid he is.
How did that happen? We're waiting for the autopsy, but until we figure out cause of death, we're investigating as a possible homicide.
Tell us what happened last night.
How'd you hurt your wrist? I fell.
Does it hurt? Looks like the bad guy's winning.
He always does.
Well, that doesn't seem right.
Why don't you let the good guy win? Because he doesn't.
Sounds like you've seen the bad guy.
Did he do that to you? Yeah.
Was it your dad? My stepdad.
When he gets mad, the monster comes out.
You mean like maybe there's a monster inside him? What did he look like? Real bad and scary.
Hey, hey.
You know, when I was a kid, I saw some real scary monsters, too.
Some of them had big black eyes, big yellow teeth.
Others were really hairy, and you know what? What? Some of them stunk so bad I couldn't even breathe.
Wow.
Did they hurt you? They tried.
What did you do? I fought back.
Did you kill any of them? Eh, One or two.
H ow? I guess by believing I could.
That scares them, you know? I bet you could scare some bad guys, too.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, a strong guy like you.
We're done.
Bye, David.
Bye, Theresa.
Anything from Sara? No Woge.
But David said when his stepdad gets mad, he turns into a monster.
So the stepdad's a Wesen.
Yeah, too late to figure out what kind.
You think Sara knows? Not sure I know how to ask that question right now.
If she saw something, she might just think she's crazy.
I hear that.
But if David's stepdad was Wesen, what killed him? Hey, you ever wonder how many Grimms there are in the world? Occasionally.
However many there are, there aren't enough.
Well, I'm not finding anything with clay as its M.
O.
Maybe what killed him wasn't Wesen.
Like a Volcanalis, or that ghost lady.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Wait a minute.
You're saying there's more than just Wesen? Yeah, actually.
Oh, great.
Just when I was getting a handle on this.
Perfect.
Detective Griffin.
Mr.
Fisher.
Where are you? Okay, stay there.
We'll come over.
That was Sara's brother, Ben.
He's interested in confessing to the murder of Keith Harrow.
Mr.
Fisher? Thank you for coming.
Not every day someone wants to confess.
You killed Keith Harrow? I did.
Wanna tell us how? There's something I need to show you.
In my study.
Please.
This way.
You're a rabbi? For ten years.
I was a grad student in linguistics.
My thesis was translating ancient kabbalistic texts.
Eventually, I read myself into a new calling.
What I'm about to tell you will be hard for you to understand, let alone believe.
Try us.
All right.
In the 16th century, several rabbinical sources recorded Rabbi Judah Loew, the Maharal of Prague, raising a golem from clay using this scroll.
A golem is Jewish folklore, right? Exactly.
It's an anthropomorphic creature that's supposed to protect its people from the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf ll.
Only, it proved too dangerous to wield.
Now, the remains of the golem were supposed to be kept in the attic of the Alt Neu Shul in Prague, the synagogue, but The remains were reported missing in 1984, when a documentary film crew went looking for it.
Are you telling us that this jar contained the remains of a golem? Well, I didn't really think so.
The rabbi before me, Meisel, he brought it over with several other artifacts, when he immigrated from Moravia.
I didn't think it would do anything, but I was desperate.
So I prayed.
I prayed because I was so angry.
This man was destroying my family.
So you read that scroll and called up a golem to kill Keith Harrow? I did.
And you believe your prayers were answered? I know they were.
We appreciate you wanting to confess, but we can't arrest you for praying for someone to die.
Yeah, but I'm telling you the truth.
And you don't believe me.
Doesn't matter what we believe, it's what we can prove.
Praying isn't a crime.
I'm telling you, this is what happened.
All right, we'll take the jar and test the residue.
If it's the same clay that killed Keith Harrow, our lab will verify it.
And if they do? We'll start believing.
Residue from the jar matches the clay at the crime scene.
So we have a murder weapon.
All we need is a "How in the hell," and we got this one wrapped up.
And how do we arrest a golem? Or Ben praying for one.
Can't wait to explain that to the DA.
Hey! Whoo! Thank you.
All right.
Thank you.
Please.
Thank you.
Well, you know, lying in a hospital bed really gives a man a chance to think.
These past few years, this precinct has basically been my home.
And I just want you all to know how grateful I am to each and every one of you for all of your support.
And it's great to be back.
Sara, please.
You really need to hear me.
Sara, when I left you at the hospital, I went to the temple and I prayed.
I prayed for a golem.
Stop it, Ben.
Listen to me.
That is what killed Keith.
You have to believe me.
Ben, you didn't kill Keith, and neither did a golem.
I'm not looking for a reason, and I'm not asking for one.
Whatever happened to him, he deserved.
Sara.
David, come on, let's go inside, sweetie.
David.
We're good.
All right.
Nate, what are you doing here? Somebody killed Keith, and I'm thinking you and your brother had something to do with it.
What? What? I don't give a damn what you think.
Hold on.
Hey, you have to leave.
Now.
You know what happened to my brother that night, don't you, Davey boy? No.
I'm calling the police Be a good boy, and tell your Uncle Nate who they've been talking to.
Tell me! Stay away from him! Yeah.
My brother-in-law is attacking us.
When I find out how you two killed my brother, I'm gonna rip you apart.
You should've told me, boy.
I saw the monster.
Don't let him get me! I saw him.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Don't let him get me.
I'm sorry.
Sara Fisher, wife of your vic.
Yeah.
Just reported somebody attacking her at her house, units en route.
Thank you.
Come in.
Good to have you back, Captain.
Thank you.
Got a minute? Sure.
Have you had the chance to read the report of when you got shot? Yeah, I did.
And I especially want to thank you for how you handled that.
I'm not sure I would've made it if you didn't get me into that ambulance as quick as you did.
Then you read about Theresa Rubel? Yeah, the young woman staying with Nick.
Maybe I got this all wrong, but Surveillance photo of a suspect in a double homicide Burkhardt and Griffin were working a few weeks ago.
Suspect was identified as Theresa Rubel.
Then later, Nick and Hank brought her to a crime scene and introduced her as a criminology student.
And you think it might be the same person? I do.
I didn't want to bring this to you, but I think Nick's protecting her for some reason.
Look, Captain, I don't like going over anybody's head, and I have the greatest respect for him, but I just I can't figure this out.
Let me see what I can find out.
Thank you, sir.
What's the status? Suspect is the brother-in-law of the victim, Sara Fisher.
She's inside with her brother and son.
What about the suspect? Left the scene before we got here.
You want to tell us what happened? Keith's brother, Nate, was here when we got home.
Yeah, he thinks we have something to do with Keith's death.
And he hit you? Yeah, that doesn't matter.
He threatened Sara and David.
Do you know where he lives? Off Germantown Road.
All right.
We're gonna leave officers here until we make sure that we've got him.
Okay.
Thank you.
I should go with you 'cause it's very remote.
Okay.
Be out in a second.
How you doing, David? He was mean.
Like my stepdad.
Well, I want you to know that nobody should do that to you.
Where's Theresa? She's at home.
Can she come over? She sees the monsters, too.
I can give her a call.
Thanks.
AUSTRIA How much further? We gotta be at the top of the castle by now.
Don't wake them.
There's nobody here.
I'm here.
I heard you.
Now you've done it.
No, don't go.
I know where your baby is.
What? I know where she is.
Where? Don't listen to them! We must go now! Last chance! I know where your baby is.
Where? I know where your baby is.
Please, please just tell me where she is! Where? Tell me where she is! - Shut up! - Listen to me.
I know where your baby is.
Listen to me.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Please, just tell me where she is! No, no! Stop crying! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Please! Stop! Stop! Stop! Please, just stop! Stop! This can't be happening now.
No! No, no, no.
No, no, no.
You have to stop.
Stop crying.
You have to stop.
Stop crying! Stop! Elizabeth? We're back! So am I.
You need to leave.
Really? Why? Didn't you miss me? Where's Elizabeth? Oh, she's long gone.
Did you really think she could undo what I did? Actually, no.
But maybe I can.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
It worked.
Oh, Rosalee, you're taking all the fun out of it.
What fun? What are you talking about? It's not Adalind, it's Elizabeth.
I hope you don't mind me borrowing your shirt, I just felt a little sluttier as Adalind.
Is that a terrible thing to say about the mother of my granddaughter? Oh, my God.
No wonder Nick fell for it.
So, what, do you just sleep with Nick now? You can't possibly think it's that easy.
Okay.
That was really unsettling.
So, what, do you have everything you need, now? No.
We're missing the most important ingredient.
Then we'll get it.
It's not up to you.
Or me.
Well, then who's it up to? No! Damn it! What the Oh, man.
Oh, my God.
It's real.
That's Nate.
I don't believe it.
It killed Nate.
Why did you call it back? I didn't.
It just happened to kill the guy after he threatened your family? I was with Sara and David.
Well, you said you prayed for this thing.
Look, the golem, it's a guardian, it's not a mercenary.
I didn't pray for it to kill someone.
I just I prayed for it to protect David.
That's it, okay? For how long? I wasn't specific.
I just prayed, that's it.
So this thing's just gonna keep killing anyone who threatens David for any reason? As long as David feels threatened.
I'd hate to be the one who scares him next.
This kid's gonna leave a trail of bodies with a guardian angel like that.
We better find this thing.
And until we do, we have to pull the police off of Sara's house.
They could be in danger if it shows up again.
Well, if he does, you got a prayer to get rid of it? I need the scroll.
Thanks for coming.
You must have made quite an impression on him.
Hey, David.
Hi.
Oh, no.
More monsters, huh? Well, we'll see what we can do about that.
In order to stop the golem, I have to write a shem.
Don't know what that is, but if that's what it takes, write one.
It means the name of God.
You have to put the shem inside the golem's mouth.
Unfortunately, there's nothing in the text which will bring the golem to me.
We can't put an APB out on a mud-slick.
The golem is David's protector, it should show up to destroy whoever threatens him.
You want to threaten the kid? No, I don't want to, but is there another choice? I'll do it.
The golem is my responsibility.
No, you worry about stuffing the shem into its mouth.
Better come with me.
Oh, Oh, Oh! You can't keep moving him like that.
Well, that's what the good guy's gotta do, otherwise the monsters win.
Huh? You gotta tire 'em out.
And then, when they least expect it Oh, you nail 'em.
Hold on, I gotta take this, bud.
Hey, Nick.
Yeah, just sitting here on the couch with David.
Yeah? No way.
Okay, I got it.
The detectives are coming back.
What'd they say? They just want me to stay here until they get back.
You sure you can handle this? I don't know, that kid's been through a lot already.
If he doesn't feel threatened, it's going to be a no-show.
It's my sister I'm worried about.
She doesn't believe any of this.
Then the less she knows, the better.
Let's do this.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So did you arrest Nate? You don't have to worry about Nate, he's taken care of.
- Where's Ben? - He's outside.
We want to talk to David about what happened.
And I wanna talk with you.
Okay.
David.
Your uncle's outside, and he wants to talk to you, okay? Okay? It's okay, I'll come with you.
Hmm, Come on.
Is he dead? Yes.
This is unbelievable.
Hey, why don't you sit down, and we can talk about it? Okay.
Hi, Uncle Ben.
Don't forget that.
You know how much I love you, right? Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know I would never do anything to hurt you.
Yeah I'm so sorry.
But this has to happen.
What do you mean? David.
What's wrong with you? Why would you lie to all of us? Listen to me.
Now, I'm going to have to arrest you and take you to jail.
And you can't play with toys in jail! Come on! No! Uncle Ben! Stop! It's not working.
Don't.
Stop, don't! Here you go.
Thank you.
Stop it! Let go! What the hell is he doing? Please don't.
- What is going on? - Stop it! You're hurting me! You're gonna have to trust us.
No, that's my son out there! - Let me go! - Leave me alone! Why are you doing this? You can make all this stop.
Just tell me what you did.
Nick! Oh, my God! David! The shem, do it now! No! Uncle Ben! Ben.
It didn't work.
Ow! Theresa! I can't move! Don't hurt her! Get away from her! It's okay.
Leave her alone! Get away from her! Stop it! Go away! David.
You got him.
I got him! I got him, Mom.
I guess you did.
I got him! I got him! Anybody wanna tell me what the hell just happened? I got him.
I got him! Didn't I? That's the last time lever yell at a kid.
So the golem was an answer to a prayer.
A real badass prayer.
It's kind of a big deal, don't you think? Maybe somebody should be proclaiming this from a mountaintop.
Yeah, I've tried to proclaim a lot of things, look where it got me.
If David hadn't turned on his protector, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.
Hmm.
I'll get it.
Being a Grimm didn't help? Mmm.
That thing wasn't Wesen.
Uh-oh.
No, no, hear us out, and then you can, "Uh-oh.
" We've identified exactly what Adalind did to you.
Yeah.
We figured out a way for you to get your Grimm back.
It's a spell, but a complicated one.
How complicated? There is a key ingredient missing.
And you're not going to like what it is.
What is it? Her.
What?
She's a suspect in a double homicide and I'm having a bit of a problem with this.
I think you're gonna have to tell him the truth, Nick.
- You're the Grimm.
- What do you want? There are people who find what you are and what you can do very important.
And, Theresa.
Tell no one.
For your sake and theirs.
In order for you to help your friend, you need to know what was in the potion.
Here's the spell she used.
Can you reverse it? I need a place that's untainted by another Hexenbiest.
We could go to the Spice Shop.
Please, get me out of here.
It's a treacherous journey.
You will need your strength.
Eat this.
Oh, my God, you have food.
"Oh, remember that you fashioned me from clay! "Will you then bring me down to dust?" This doesn't make sense.
What doesn't make sense? How Adalind did this.
For this to have worked, Adalind would've had to have lost her powers at some point.
Yeah, she did.
Then that would explain the Grimm's blood at work here.
Actually, Nick's blood.
That's how she lost her powers.
Even so, she would have had to undergo the Contaminatio Ritualis while she was pregnant.
With my grandchild.
Which makes the child even more valuable than I'd imagined.
I should have given Adalind more credit.
This is going to take much longer than I thought.
Whoa! What the hell! Monroe! Someone threw a brick.
It's not just a brick.
What? A Wolfsangel.
It's German.
It means "wolf trap.
" It's a warning.
Is it because a Grimm showed up at our wedding? Uh-uh.
I think it's because we got married.
It's Mischehen.
Some Wesen are against mixed marriages.
You must know that.
Yes, but a brick through the window? I'm calling Nick.
If it's Wesen, he can't help.
If you're interested in your friend ever being a Grimm again, let's board up the window and get back to work.
Wow, that smells great.
In the kitchen.
Well, I didn't think it was coming from the bathroom.
Ooh! A stir-fry.
Good idea.
Yeah, it's ready when you are.
Wanna get Trubel? Yeah, I'll get her.
Trubel.
Dinner.
Nick! You better get up here.
Where is she? She's gone.
Her bag, everything.
Did she say anything to you? No.
Anything to you? No.
I can't believe this.
No, Something must have happened.
She wouldn't have just left without saying anything.
Maybe she did.
She wouldn't have just left this.
Ferula Tingitana.
I got some in the back room.
Do you need anything else? Time.
That would be next to the parsley and sage, of course.
No, the other kind.
I should have known you'd Will you excuse me? Look, I just want you to know that when all this is over, however long it takes, we are going to have our honeymoon.
All right.
Bed time.
Lights out in ten.
And I don't want to hear that video game, mister.
Okay, Mom.
You can't be here, Keith.
I want to see my family.
You're drunk.
Sara.
I wanna see my boy and my wife.
I'm not your wife anymore.
You are my wife! It's over.
Deal with it! Don't do this.
I'm calling the police.
You can't take away my family! Get out! Leave her alone! This is between your mom and me.
You go to your room! No! I said, you go to your room! You do this to me, you know.
You make me hurt you.
I don't do this to you.
This is who you are.
Go, David! Go! Go.
Go, go, go.
It's okay.
Good boy.
Run.
Get back here! Sara! Ugh! Sara! Stop! If you don't come back, I'll kill us all! Excuse me.
I'm looking for Sara Fisher.
She was just admitted.
I'm her brother.
Room 404, which is right over there.
But just so you know, visiting hours are about to end.
Thank you.
Hey.
That son of a bitch! Ben, don't.
Did you call the police? I didn't have time, but the doctors did once I got here.
Oh, God, Sara.
I'm sorry.
How long are they keeping you? Just overnight, in case of concussion.
If he ever touches you again Please.
It's been a rough night.
Okay? How you doing, David? Okay.
What happened to your wrist? He sprained it when he fell.
Did your stepdad do that to you? Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, it's past visiting hours.
It's okay.
Never again, Sara.
Thank God, she's here.
Don't do that.
I needed to make sure you weren't followed.
You don't think I know what I'm doing? Yeah, you don't know everything.
That's why I'm here.
I didn't tell you something.
Yeah, that you were leaving.
That's why I left my black knight, so you'd know I was here.
I was trying to be safe.
You know that FBI Agent, I think her name's Chavez? She's Wesen.
You saw her Woge? Yeah, when she kidnapped me.
What're you talking about? I wasn't supposed to tell anybody.
It was sort of like a threat, against me and you.
Which is why I'm here.
Okay, why would the FBI wanna kidnap you? No, she said it had nothing to do with the FBI.
There were three guys with her, they grabbed me off the street when I was riding Juliette's bike, put a bag over my head, and took me to some old warehouse.
And then she Woged, right in my face.
She wanted to see if I was a Grimm, Nick.
Did she come and see you? Yeah, she did.
She said it was just between the two of us.
Why don't you tell me about the young lady living in your house, Theresa Rubel? She's awfully handy with a machete.
She was very interested in you.
What did you say to her? Nothing.
But, Nick, she said there were people that were very interested in my services.
Said that being able to identify and destroy Wesen influence in society was like a very valuable gift.
She wanted me to be a part of some group.
And she told me to think about it and not to tell anyone, otherwise they'd, you know, have to kill us or whatever.
She didn't say anything else about who this group was or where they were? No, she just said she'd be in contact with me.
I was hoping you'd know who they were.
I have no idea.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I was afraid they'd hurt you and Juliette.
I think you should come back home.
Nick If they find out that you just suddenly left, they might think that you told me.
You and I have to remain very close, at least until we can figure out who Chavez is and what it is we're dealing with.
Now, if she contacts you again Trust me, I'm telling you.
Good.
Look, all I'm saying is that the Wolfsangel isn't necessarily a symbol of hate.
Like, in the 17th century, royal foresters used them, you know, as a boundary marker.
Royal foresters didn't throw a brick through our window, Monroe! I know, I know.
And to be fair, it was unfortunately appropriated by an SS Panzer Division in World War ll.
But originally-originally, a Wolfsangel was a trap, literally "wolf-hook.
" In fact, a lot of Blutbaden perished as a Okay, you're not helping.
We're done.
Done? That's it? For tonight.
It needs to garen lassen.
What do you mean? Like, ferment? In a way.
I suggest you two go home and get a little sleep.
What about you? No.
I won't be done for a while.
Um, yeah, sleep is good.
Make yourself at home.
Lord God of all the earth, guide your hand and cast your protection upon the blood of my blood.
Sara! Shut up, you damn dogs.
What the hell? What do we got? Nothing but fun and games.
By that, I mean I don't know what the hell we're dealing with.
Victim's name is Keith Harrow.
Who found the body? That would be me.
Woman who lives here, Sara Fisher, was signed in at Treeview Hospital last night.
Hospital made the domestic abuse call.
Ms.
Fisher has a restraining order, which the vic didn't pay much attention to.
In retrospect, he should have.
Looks like there's something coming out of every orifice.
Clay, I think.
My guess is Ultisol, judging by the reddish color.
Not exactly native to northwest climates.
I've heard of Russian mob guys pouring cement down an informant's throat, but clay's a first.
Where would they get it all? Maybe they brought a cement mixer.
With a lot of clay in it.
What's going on? Keith! Hey, sir! You can't come out here.
That's my brother! What happened? Hey! We got it, Wu.
What's your name? Nate Harrow.
Your brother's body was discovered by one of our officers in response to a domestic abuse call.
My God, he's dead? Yes.
I don't believe it.
This is an active crime scene, sir.
My brother was murdered? We won't know that until after the autopsy.
Was he shot, stabbed? What's that all over his body? Who did this? Did you know your brother had a restraining order against him being on this property? Where's Sara? Answer my question.
Yeah, I knew.
He tried calling me last night, but I didn't get the message till this morning.
But I could tell he was messed up.
He said he was coming over here.
If anybody killed him, it was Sara.
His ex-wife? She hated him.
Keith wasn't no saint, but he was trying to get his life together.
She either did this, or hired somebody to.
Sir, this officer's gonna take down your information.
We'll call you when we know more.
Come on.
There's no way his wife was strong enough to do that to him.
Unless she's Wesen.
Yeah, what kind of Wesen would use clay to kill somebody? I think we need to talk to her.
But the only way we're going to find out if she's Wesen is to bring Just in case.
I'm not letting you go back to that house unless he's behind bars.
He never stays in jail, Ben.
Well, then you and David will come live with me.
He'd find me.
You don't know what happens when he gets like this.
He changes.
Yeah, into something evil.
No, it's more than that.
Something happens to him.
I can't explain it.
Maybe I'm just crazy.
No, you're not.
It's okay.
This is not your fault, Sara.
Please.
You just, you married a monster, that's all.
Sara Fisher? Yeah.
I'm Detective Burkhardt, this is my partner, Detective Griffin.
We've just come from your home.
Is this about Keith? Your name, sir? I'm Ben Fisher.
I'm Sara's brother.
Did you arrest Keith? This your son? Yes, that's David.
It's probably best if David waits outside with Theresa while we speak with you and your brother.
Hey, David.
David, can you go outside with Theresa while your uncle and I talk to these men? That's a pretty ugly-looking bad guy you got there.
You know, I've seen a few like that.
You have? Sure.
You want me to tell you about 'em? Okay.
Let's go in here.
What happened? An officer went to your house in response to the report of domestic violence.
He found your husband's body.
Keith's dead? I'm afraid he is.
How did that happen? We're waiting for the autopsy, but until we figure out cause of death, we're investigating as a possible homicide.
Tell us what happened last night.
How'd you hurt your wrist? I fell.
Does it hurt? Looks like the bad guy's winning.
He always does.
Well, that doesn't seem right.
Why don't you let the good guy win? Because he doesn't.
Sounds like you've seen the bad guy.
Did he do that to you? Yeah.
Was it your dad? My stepdad.
When he gets mad, the monster comes out.
You mean like maybe there's a monster inside him? What did he look like? Real bad and scary.
Hey, hey.
You know, when I was a kid, I saw some real scary monsters, too.
Some of them had big black eyes, big yellow teeth.
Others were really hairy, and you know what? What? Some of them stunk so bad I couldn't even breathe.
Wow.
Did they hurt you? They tried.
What did you do? I fought back.
Did you kill any of them? Eh, One or two.
H ow? I guess by believing I could.
That scares them, you know? I bet you could scare some bad guys, too.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, a strong guy like you.
We're done.
Bye, David.
Bye, Theresa.
Anything from Sara? No Woge.
But David said when his stepdad gets mad, he turns into a monster.
So the stepdad's a Wesen.
Yeah, too late to figure out what kind.
You think Sara knows? Not sure I know how to ask that question right now.
If she saw something, she might just think she's crazy.
I hear that.
But if David's stepdad was Wesen, what killed him? Hey, you ever wonder how many Grimms there are in the world? Occasionally.
However many there are, there aren't enough.
Well, I'm not finding anything with clay as its M.
O.
Maybe what killed him wasn't Wesen.
Like a Volcanalis, or that ghost lady.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Wait a minute.
You're saying there's more than just Wesen? Yeah, actually.
Oh, great.
Just when I was getting a handle on this.
Perfect.
Detective Griffin.
Mr.
Fisher.
Where are you? Okay, stay there.
We'll come over.
That was Sara's brother, Ben.
He's interested in confessing to the murder of Keith Harrow.
Mr.
Fisher? Thank you for coming.
Not every day someone wants to confess.
You killed Keith Harrow? I did.
Wanna tell us how? There's something I need to show you.
In my study.
Please.
This way.
You're a rabbi? For ten years.
I was a grad student in linguistics.
My thesis was translating ancient kabbalistic texts.
Eventually, I read myself into a new calling.
What I'm about to tell you will be hard for you to understand, let alone believe.
Try us.
All right.
In the 16th century, several rabbinical sources recorded Rabbi Judah Loew, the Maharal of Prague, raising a golem from clay using this scroll.
A golem is Jewish folklore, right? Exactly.
It's an anthropomorphic creature that's supposed to protect its people from the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf ll.
Only, it proved too dangerous to wield.
Now, the remains of the golem were supposed to be kept in the attic of the Alt Neu Shul in Prague, the synagogue, but The remains were reported missing in 1984, when a documentary film crew went looking for it.
Are you telling us that this jar contained the remains of a golem? Well, I didn't really think so.
The rabbi before me, Meisel, he brought it over with several other artifacts, when he immigrated from Moravia.
I didn't think it would do anything, but I was desperate.
So I prayed.
I prayed because I was so angry.
This man was destroying my family.
So you read that scroll and called up a golem to kill Keith Harrow? I did.
And you believe your prayers were answered? I know they were.
We appreciate you wanting to confess, but we can't arrest you for praying for someone to die.
Yeah, but I'm telling you the truth.
And you don't believe me.
Doesn't matter what we believe, it's what we can prove.
Praying isn't a crime.
I'm telling you, this is what happened.
All right, we'll take the jar and test the residue.
If it's the same clay that killed Keith Harrow, our lab will verify it.
And if they do? We'll start believing.
Residue from the jar matches the clay at the crime scene.
So we have a murder weapon.
All we need is a "How in the hell," and we got this one wrapped up.
And how do we arrest a golem? Or Ben praying for one.
Can't wait to explain that to the DA.
Hey! Whoo! Thank you.
All right.
Thank you.
Please.
Thank you.
Well, you know, lying in a hospital bed really gives a man a chance to think.
These past few years, this precinct has basically been my home.
And I just want you all to know how grateful I am to each and every one of you for all of your support.
And it's great to be back.
Sara, please.
You really need to hear me.
Sara, when I left you at the hospital, I went to the temple and I prayed.
I prayed for a golem.
Stop it, Ben.
Listen to me.
That is what killed Keith.
You have to believe me.
Ben, you didn't kill Keith, and neither did a golem.
I'm not looking for a reason, and I'm not asking for one.
Whatever happened to him, he deserved.
Sara.
David, come on, let's go inside, sweetie.
David.
We're good.
All right.
Nate, what are you doing here? Somebody killed Keith, and I'm thinking you and your brother had something to do with it.
What? What? I don't give a damn what you think.
Hold on.
Hey, you have to leave.
Now.
You know what happened to my brother that night, don't you, Davey boy? No.
I'm calling the police Be a good boy, and tell your Uncle Nate who they've been talking to.
Tell me! Stay away from him! Yeah.
My brother-in-law is attacking us.
When I find out how you two killed my brother, I'm gonna rip you apart.
You should've told me, boy.
I saw the monster.
Don't let him get me! I saw him.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Don't let him get me.
I'm sorry.
Sara Fisher, wife of your vic.
Yeah.
Just reported somebody attacking her at her house, units en route.
Thank you.
Come in.
Good to have you back, Captain.
Thank you.
Got a minute? Sure.
Have you had the chance to read the report of when you got shot? Yeah, I did.
And I especially want to thank you for how you handled that.
I'm not sure I would've made it if you didn't get me into that ambulance as quick as you did.
Then you read about Theresa Rubel? Yeah, the young woman staying with Nick.
Maybe I got this all wrong, but Surveillance photo of a suspect in a double homicide Burkhardt and Griffin were working a few weeks ago.
Suspect was identified as Theresa Rubel.
Then later, Nick and Hank brought her to a crime scene and introduced her as a criminology student.
And you think it might be the same person? I do.
I didn't want to bring this to you, but I think Nick's protecting her for some reason.
Look, Captain, I don't like going over anybody's head, and I have the greatest respect for him, but I just I can't figure this out.
Let me see what I can find out.
Thank you, sir.
What's the status? Suspect is the brother-in-law of the victim, Sara Fisher.
She's inside with her brother and son.
What about the suspect? Left the scene before we got here.
You want to tell us what happened? Keith's brother, Nate, was here when we got home.
Yeah, he thinks we have something to do with Keith's death.
And he hit you? Yeah, that doesn't matter.
He threatened Sara and David.
Do you know where he lives? Off Germantown Road.
All right.
We're gonna leave officers here until we make sure that we've got him.
Okay.
Thank you.
I should go with you 'cause it's very remote.
Okay.
Be out in a second.
How you doing, David? He was mean.
Like my stepdad.
Well, I want you to know that nobody should do that to you.
Where's Theresa? She's at home.
Can she come over? She sees the monsters, too.
I can give her a call.
Thanks.
AUSTRIA How much further? We gotta be at the top of the castle by now.
Don't wake them.
There's nobody here.
I'm here.
I heard you.
Now you've done it.
No, don't go.
I know where your baby is.
What? I know where she is.
Where? Don't listen to them! We must go now! Last chance! I know where your baby is.
Where? I know where your baby is.
Please, please just tell me where she is! Where? Tell me where she is! - Shut up! - Listen to me.
I know where your baby is.
Listen to me.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Please, just tell me where she is! No, no! Stop crying! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Please! Stop! Stop! Stop! Please, just stop! Stop! This can't be happening now.
No! No, no, no.
No, no, no.
You have to stop.
Stop crying.
You have to stop.
Stop crying! Stop! Elizabeth? We're back! So am I.
You need to leave.
Really? Why? Didn't you miss me? Where's Elizabeth? Oh, she's long gone.
Did you really think she could undo what I did? Actually, no.
But maybe I can.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
It worked.
Oh, Rosalee, you're taking all the fun out of it.
What fun? What are you talking about? It's not Adalind, it's Elizabeth.
I hope you don't mind me borrowing your shirt, I just felt a little sluttier as Adalind.
Is that a terrible thing to say about the mother of my granddaughter? Oh, my God.
No wonder Nick fell for it.
So, what, do you just sleep with Nick now? You can't possibly think it's that easy.
Okay.
That was really unsettling.
So, what, do you have everything you need, now? No.
We're missing the most important ingredient.
Then we'll get it.
It's not up to you.
Or me.
Well, then who's it up to? No! Damn it! What the Oh, man.
Oh, my God.
It's real.
That's Nate.
I don't believe it.
It killed Nate.
Why did you call it back? I didn't.
It just happened to kill the guy after he threatened your family? I was with Sara and David.
Well, you said you prayed for this thing.
Look, the golem, it's a guardian, it's not a mercenary.
I didn't pray for it to kill someone.
I just I prayed for it to protect David.
That's it, okay? For how long? I wasn't specific.
I just prayed, that's it.
So this thing's just gonna keep killing anyone who threatens David for any reason? As long as David feels threatened.
I'd hate to be the one who scares him next.
This kid's gonna leave a trail of bodies with a guardian angel like that.
We better find this thing.
And until we do, we have to pull the police off of Sara's house.
They could be in danger if it shows up again.
Well, if he does, you got a prayer to get rid of it? I need the scroll.
Thanks for coming.
You must have made quite an impression on him.
Hey, David.
Hi.
Oh, no.
More monsters, huh? Well, we'll see what we can do about that.
In order to stop the golem, I have to write a shem.
Don't know what that is, but if that's what it takes, write one.
It means the name of God.
You have to put the shem inside the golem's mouth.
Unfortunately, there's nothing in the text which will bring the golem to me.
We can't put an APB out on a mud-slick.
The golem is David's protector, it should show up to destroy whoever threatens him.
You want to threaten the kid? No, I don't want to, but is there another choice? I'll do it.
The golem is my responsibility.
No, you worry about stuffing the shem into its mouth.
Better come with me.
Oh, Oh, Oh! You can't keep moving him like that.
Well, that's what the good guy's gotta do, otherwise the monsters win.
Huh? You gotta tire 'em out.
And then, when they least expect it Oh, you nail 'em.
Hold on, I gotta take this, bud.
Hey, Nick.
Yeah, just sitting here on the couch with David.
Yeah? No way.
Okay, I got it.
The detectives are coming back.
What'd they say? They just want me to stay here until they get back.
You sure you can handle this? I don't know, that kid's been through a lot already.
If he doesn't feel threatened, it's going to be a no-show.
It's my sister I'm worried about.
She doesn't believe any of this.
Then the less she knows, the better.
Let's do this.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So did you arrest Nate? You don't have to worry about Nate, he's taken care of.
- Where's Ben? - He's outside.
We want to talk to David about what happened.
And I wanna talk with you.
Okay.
David.
Your uncle's outside, and he wants to talk to you, okay? Okay? It's okay, I'll come with you.
Hmm, Come on.
Is he dead? Yes.
This is unbelievable.
Hey, why don't you sit down, and we can talk about it? Okay.
Hi, Uncle Ben.
Don't forget that.
You know how much I love you, right? Yeah.
Yeah.
And you know I would never do anything to hurt you.
Yeah I'm so sorry.
But this has to happen.
What do you mean? David.
What's wrong with you? Why would you lie to all of us? Listen to me.
Now, I'm going to have to arrest you and take you to jail.
And you can't play with toys in jail! Come on! No! Uncle Ben! Stop! It's not working.
Don't.
Stop, don't! Here you go.
Thank you.
Stop it! Let go! What the hell is he doing? Please don't.
- What is going on? - Stop it! You're hurting me! You're gonna have to trust us.
No, that's my son out there! - Let me go! - Leave me alone! Why are you doing this? You can make all this stop.
Just tell me what you did.
Nick! Oh, my God! David! The shem, do it now! No! Uncle Ben! Ben.
It didn't work.
Ow! Theresa! I can't move! Don't hurt her! Get away from her! It's okay.
Leave her alone! Get away from her! Stop it! Go away! David.
You got him.
I got him! I got him, Mom.
I guess you did.
I got him! I got him! Anybody wanna tell me what the hell just happened? I got him.
I got him! Didn't I? That's the last time lever yell at a kid.
So the golem was an answer to a prayer.
A real badass prayer.
It's kind of a big deal, don't you think? Maybe somebody should be proclaiming this from a mountaintop.
Yeah, I've tried to proclaim a lot of things, look where it got me.
If David hadn't turned on his protector, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.
Hmm.
I'll get it.
Being a Grimm didn't help? Mmm.
That thing wasn't Wesen.
Uh-oh.
No, no, hear us out, and then you can, "Uh-oh.
" We've identified exactly what Adalind did to you.
Yeah.
We figured out a way for you to get your Grimm back.
It's a spell, but a complicated one.
How complicated? There is a key ingredient missing.
And you're not going to like what it is.
What is it? Her.
What?
