The Sisters Grimm (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
- [guest] Wait a minute.
- Huh?
You two aren't friends.
Uh, we're not?
- No, not on my watch.
- [clock ticking]
[chuckles] Should we run?
I'm thinking yes.
Sorry. We've gotta-- Uh--
I mean, after that fight.
What fight?
Oh, that fight.
Oh, Beast. They've clearly moved on
from that petty squabble.
And I'm sure Nutcracker won't chew down
another one of Momma Bear's walnut trees.
[chuckles] No. Never again.
- Well, nice chatting. We better--
- [Daphne] Yes, I learned my lesson.
What?
I'll let the trees be
if the walnuts are too green or too ripe.
But what if they're just right?
[laughing]
Oh, a Goldilocks joke. [chuckles]
- [groans]
- Your wit is still as sharp as your jaws.
[chuckles] Super funny.
Love you guys.
They're so sweet. Good times.
Focus, Daph. We have to hurry
before our disguises wear off at 9:00.
[jazz music playing]
Huh? Hmm?
[guard humming]
[guest laughs]
[gasps] There's so many Everafters here.
And they're all so fancy.
Yeah. I mean, I hate to say it,
but that Charming guy really knows
how to throw a party.
[exclaims] Ugh.
That is not important right now.
We're not here to disco dance.
Right. Gotta keep our eyes on the prize.
Ooh, but look at Officer Hamstead.
And a very good evening to you,
kitty, kitty, kitty.
- [screeches]
- [exclaims]
Yikes. That looks like a bad time.
I guess we're not the only ones
who aren't the biggest fans
of Ferryport's finest.
Ugh, this is exactly
what I was talking about.
No more distractions. Come on.
Do you think Snow White is here?
I don't know, but stay focused.
- [gasps]
- We only have 20 minutes left.
Jack, the disguises worked.
We're on our way to Charming's office
to get the map.
[gasps] Is that Morgan Le Fay?
[Daphne] She looks just like
in your King Arthur books.
- [laughs]
- And look at that dress.
It is total perfection.
Okay, but, Daph,
we're not here to admire dresses.
We're here to bust Charming,
and we have to hurry
before the spell wears off at 9:00.
Okay, but if we see a flying monkey
on the way, I'm stopping to say hi.
And so, anyway,
that's why I crossed the road.
- No. [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
Mmm, stuffed peppers.
Oh, I love those.
No, no. Focus. We have a mission.
We need to be careful.
We're easy to sniff out
for anyone who knows the Nutcracker and--
Momma Bear?
Ravishing as always. [chuckles]
I trust you're enjoying
our humble little soiree.
[kisses]
[chuckles] Charmed.
Nutcracker. I thought you were
in the Adirondacks.
Never heard of them.
Ha! You never cease to amuse.
It's good to see you, Captain.
When was the last time we--
[gasps] Look, look, look!
- What's wrong, old chap?
- Snow White!
[gasps]
Snow, what a lovely surprise.
[chuckles] A quick chat over here,
if you don't mind.
What's he doing here?
I thought you were okay with this.
No, I-- I mean, yes.
We agreed to see other people.
But that guy? Really?
What does a clumsy egg have that I don't?
I guess he cracks me up.
[chuckles] Well, I suppose
I should have expected this.
I'm also having a hard time looking away
from this drama.
But now's our chance to get upstairs.
[screams, stammers]
What if he tricks her
into dating him again?
If he's a criminal, we should warn her.
I agree, but we need proof first.
Let's get that map.
[White Rabbit] Did you hear
about Relda Grimm?
[gasps]
- She's been kidnapped.
- What?
Well, if she's gone, then-- Wait.
Has anyone tried the barrier?
First thing we did. But it's still up.
Which means Relda is still alive
in Ferryport. We're still trapped.
Wait, trapped?
Why would Relda being gone
mean you're not trapped?
Momma Bear's right.
The barrier will remain in place
so long as a Grimm is in Ferryport.
And by my count, there are three of them.
[gasps] I thought Veronica
and Henry were kidnapped too.
[White Rabbit] Yes, yes, they are.
But whoever snatched them
didn't get their girls.
And I heard they're in town.
Children? Gross.
We could be here another century.
Oh, no. This is terrible.
Oh, Momma Bear,
I know it's hard to be separated
from our friends and family.
But I have hope. We'll see them again
once the barrier comes down.
Yeah. That'll be so great.
Wait. I don't understand.
The Everafters are trapped here?
Yes, and it seems our family is to blame.
Well, we don't have the full story yet.
There must be a good reason.
My fellow Everafters,
your host for the evening,
Mayor William Charming.
[applause]
My dear Everafter--
[blusters]
Welcome to my humble mansion.
Enjoy the food, the music,
the recently remodeled ballroom
of Tuscan marble.
[stammers] And most of all, the company.
Unlike my other parties,
this is a celebration of you, my friends,
and what you can do for your community.
Why would we keep them trapped?
[sighs] I think I need some air.
If I were mayor,
we wouldn't need to squeeze people
for cash every year.
Our elite police force,
led by the valiant Hamstead,
our impenetrable jail,
our vital supply of forgetful dust,
all come at a cost.
- [guests groaning]
- Safety comes at a cost.
What this town needs is a firm hand
to enforce order,
not a grifter picking pockets.
He's taking us for all we have.
Don't you agree, Momma Bear?
I do. Isn't he making enough
off the land he's buying up?
The land the giant destroyed?
A giant?
Did you hear this, everyone?
So you're using giant attacks for profit?
- [guests gasping, chattering]
- [guest] Watch your wallet.
Well, not exactly.
Look, real estate is a complex business.
The capital gains tax alone.
Oh, really?
Then why aren't you
doing anything about it?
[chuckles] Don't worry about a giant.
Hamstead is on the case.
Go dance. Have fun.
- [guest] I don't believe it.
- [guest 2] I knew it was a scam.
Yes, we can all relax.
Word on the street is
Daphne and Sabrina Grimm have a plan
to stop the giant.
[all laughing]
[chuckles] Oh, Nutcracker,
you've done it again.
The Grimm children? [chuckles]
Oh, they'd be eliminated in seconds.
Then I say good riddance.
Maybe all the Grimms will be wiped out
in one shot.
It won't be all of the Grimms.
Henry and Veronica are still alive.
[scoffs] They were captured
by the Scarlet Hand. They're goners.
The Scarlet Hand?
That's who left the handprints.
You people are awful.
You're behaving like absolute beasts.
- No offense.
- [grunts]
We're Everafters. Be better.
At least we know who has Mom and Dad.
And we know why they were taken.
The Grimms are responsible for the barrier
keeping the Everafters trapped here.
No wonder they hate us and want us gone.
Jack doesn't feel that way.
Plus, Mom and Dad always told us
that people say stuff they don't mean
when they're mad.
Maybe Jack doesn't feel that way.
But the rest of them aren't just having
a temper tantrum.
They're right.
This town is a prison for them,
and we are their jailers.
The only person who can
explain all this to us is Granny.
And she needs our help.
[sighs] You're right.
It's almost 9:00.
We only have a few minutes.
But one last thing.
[sighs]
Thank you. I needed that.
[screeching]
[gasps] Sabrina, look.
Daphne, we have to go.
But-- But monkeys.
[sighs] Okay, but make it quick.
Excuse me, Mr. Flying Monkey. Um
Hi.
- [chatters]
- Okay, bye.
Stop right there, Momma Bear.
You're under arrest
for being the belle of the ball.
Phew.
Since when is being pretty illegal?
[stammers] It was a joke.
[chuckles] Oh, you got me.
- [exclaims]
- Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
[grunting]
[chuckles] Hardly felt a thing.
[squeals]
What if Charming is the Scarlet Hand?
He's rich. He's powerful, connected.
First things first.
Nutcracker to Jack. Nutcracker to Jack.
We're upstairs. Over.
[Jack] Fantastic job, girls.
I knew you could do it.
Charming's office is the last door
on the left.
Roger that. Over and out.
I've always wanted to say that. [chuckles]
Whoa.
Ugh, gross!
- Ooh.
- Don't touch.
Whoa-ho-ho-ho! What's that over there?
[chuckles]
[Sabrina] If you've got our parents,
you are in for a world of torment.
Sabrina, call Jack. I found the map.
Great job, Daph.
Jack? Jack, are you there?
[radio static]
You have to say "over" or it won't work.
Let me try.
Nutcracker to Jack. Nutcracker to Jack.
Exciting news. Over.
[radio static]
Huh. Sounds like we have a bad signal.
Look at this.
[Daphne] Why is just the middle bit
colored in?
[Sabrina] It must be the inside
of the barrier.
The Everafters can't go past
that thick line.
It looks like he circled
the properties he wanted,
then X-ed them out
after they were destroyed by the giant.
There's only one circle
that hasn't been X-ed yet.
It must be where he's headed next.
He's not going to charm his way
out of this one.
- [voice] Says who?
- [both gasp]
[Daphne] Oh, hey!
Mayor Charming. [chuckles]
Whoa there. I thought we were old pals.
Remember when we,
uh, did that thing that time?
You mean at my wedding to Snow White?
Yeah, that was awesome.
Hmm. Except she left me at the altar.
And my real best man would know that
and would not be giddy to see her
with that klutz of an egg.
She left you at the altar? Ouch.
[chuckles] This is just
a misunderstanding.
I was looking for the bathroom and--
I've told the Scarlet Hand
I want nothing to do with them.
Yet here you are,
impersonating my friends.
You have three seconds
to reveal yourselves. One.
Wait. We don't even know
who the Scarlet Hand is.
I actually thought it might be you.
Two.
I'm sure Snow White didn't mean
to hurt your feelings.
[scoffs] Wait, I'll tell you. We're--
[clock chiming]
[bells chiming]
Grimms? [groans]
So this is where you've been hiding?
Game's over, Charming.
We know who sicced a giant on those houses
so you could buy them up cheap.
And we've got the proof.
[scoffs] Not quite the sleuths
your parents were, I see.
Listen, girls.
I absolutely want to take over this town
and make it my kingdom.
That's no secret.
But I take pride in protecting my people.
I wouldn't debase my good name
by working with a filthy giant.
Says you.
Mmm. As much as I'd love to stay and argue
with you, I have a party to host.
And since the guests
aren't your biggest fans,
I'll see you get safely out the back.
Seven will take you home,
where you belong.
We're not going anywhere
without Relda and Canis.
Yeah.
How do we know you're not going to
lead us right into a trap?
- What are you--
- [footsteps approaching]
- [gasps]
- Englishman!
[both] It's the giant.
Englishman, come out! I can smell you.
I knew you were in on this.
I'm not the Englishman he wants.
I don't think he's here for the ball.
Stay close to me.
- [beeps]
- [guard] Sir,
are you aware there's a giant outside?
Yes, it's rather glaring, Mr. Seven.
Send the Three out
and tell the band to keep playing.
[Giant grunts]
Call off your giant.
It's not my giant. Now go.
[Giant groans]
[guests laughing, chattering]
[scoffs] Try Jack again.
Jack, it's Nutcrack-- Daphne.
There's a giant on the loose. Help!
[radio static]
Excuse me. Who are you talking to?
[voice] Charming.
[groans] Never mind. Stay hidden for now.
[scoffs] Figures you'd be trying
to sneak out the back
the moment trouble shows up.
Trouble? [scoffs] There's no trouble.
[Giant roars]
The giant, you gutless phony.
[Charming] My dear Queen of Hearts,
the Three are handling him as we speak.
Now, if you don't mind,
I have some business to atte--
Sir, that's the Grimms.
They're spying on us.
- [gasps]
- Oh, no.
Oh. This never would have happened
in Wonderland. Where are my guards?
[rumbling]
[guests gasp]
I don't like the sound of that.
- [growls]
- [guests screaming]
- It's high time we depart.
- [clock ticking]
- Still better than last year's.
- Definitely.
Fee-fi-fo-fum.
I smell the stink of an Englishman.
What does "fee-fi-fo-fum" mean?
It means we're toast
if Jack doesn't get here fast.
Yoo-hoo! Any giant slayers out there?
My mansion!
Those pillars were imported from Firenze.
Do you know how much that costs?
Hey! I paid you to play until midnight.
Skip to the jazz medley,
but no more drum solos.
[sniffs] His stench is strong.
Where are you hiding him?
Daphne, I've got you.
- [Giant growls]
- [both scream]
- [Giant groans]
- [gasps]
[groaning]
[giggles]
[groaning]
I've said it once and I'll say it again.
This never would have happened
in Wonderland.
Poke harder, minions.
[Giant groans]
Heads up, another stomp's coming.
[Giant groans]
So, the pink one in the bubble
is Glinda from The Wizard of Oz.
The gingerbread house witch,
Frau Pfefferkuchenhaus,
is on the broomstick with the smoke.
And, of course, Camelot's own
Morgan Le Fay.
And that dress. Maybe it already ate Jack.
[groans]
[screams]
[exhales deeply]
[groaning]
Sabrina, look, it's Granny's car.
Careful, our granny is in there.
Ow, ow, ow, slow down. I'm in heels.
Leaving so soon? Uh, stick around.
Have some cake, dance,
make a donation. The night is young.
Are those children?
What? No. They are goblins.
Off you go then. Lovely to have you.
[groans]
They're backing off.
I think they heard us.
No, they stopped
because the giant's leaving
and he still has Relda and Canis.
Don't worry, he won't get far.
Hamstead is on the case.
[squeals, grunts]
No offense,
but this is a job for an expert.
Jack, are you there or not?
The giant's getting away.
So, Jack put you up to this?
Funny, it's not like him
to miss a chance to show off.
And funny you missed a chance
to let the giant eat us.
The fact that you're helping us
is somehow more suspicious.
I have my reasons.
What's more suspicious is
that the giant smelled Jack,
the Englishman.
Hmm. Tell me,
did Jack give you anything of his?
No.
Wait, the kerchief.
[gasps] Jack set us up.
I can't believe it.
I thought we were a team.
How could he betray us like that?
Maybe they do all hate us.
[sighs] Daphne, you always see
the best in people.
I'm not as great at that.
But you make me want to try.
I love that about you.
[sniffles] Really?
Really.
Even if everyone here does hate us,
it doesn't matter because I have you.
I'm glad I have you too.
[sniffles] Jack really fooled us
in the Hall of Wonders, huh?
Wait, you took him
into the Hall of Wonders?
We didn't have a choice.
Girls, did you lock the house
when you left?
Well, we used the slippers
to get here, so--
[gasps] The house is unlocked.
Then we better use them to get back
before Jack plunders everything.
Wait. What do you mean, "we"?
I mean, I'm coming with you.
What?
I know you don't trust me,
and frankly you shouldn't.
But I am nothing
if not a skilled swordsman.
And I assure you, this is not a battle
you want to fight alone.
[exhales sharply]
[sighs, groans]
What are you doing?
Look, I don't like this either,
but if you want the magic to work,
we need to hold hands.
Oh, um [clears throat] if you insist.
My turn.
There's no place like Relda's.
There's no place like Relda's.
There's no place like Relda's.
[bells chiming]
[bells chiming]
Jack, show yourself, you dirty liar!
- Elvis, no!
- [gasps]
[whimpers]
[gasps]
[sobbing]
What do we do now?
