Grimm s01e13 Episode Script

Three Coins in a Fuchsbau

(GUNS COCKING) Where are the detonators? Flynn has them.
I don't have them.
They're your responsibility.
I packed them.
Well, I don't see them.
Well, take your head out of your arse.
Wipe your eyes.
How about I blow a hole in your head and let in some light? I have an idea.
I kill you both and do this alone.
You looked in the wrong bag.
We have a job to do.
Get me the drill! Damn! I know this place.
I bought my second engagement ring from this guy.
Hey.
Looks like they came in through the door just after he closed for the night.
Find a body? Oh, yeah.
Samuel Bertram.
I was afraid of that.
He was in the vault.
WU: Probably thought he was safe.
ln the safe.
NICK: Surveillance tape? Thieves found the camera, ripped it out of the wall.
Probably took it with them.
This was a professional job.
Yeah, they knew what they were doing.
HANK: Sam was a big-time numismatic.
NICK: ls that some kind of religion? ln a way, yeah.
Coins.
They are not here.
What are you talking about? They have to be here.
I don't see them.
We didn't get them.
They were in the vault.
We got everything in the vault.
Then, where the hell are they? Well, don't look at me.
I am looking at you.
Two years.
Six countries.
I worked this.
You were in the back seat.
Oh, you're saying I took them? I'm saying empty your pockets.
Both of you.
Empty yours, you son of a bitch.
How do we know you didn't take them? Shoot me if you're going to shoot me.
There's nothing in my pockets.
Then, they've still got to be there.
Where are you going? I'm going back.
What are you doing? I'm going with him.
You two are not leaving me here alone.
What if he's got them? How do I know you two aren't working together? Because he just left and I'm standing here with you, you moron.
You really think he has them? Well, I don't have them.
Well, maybe that's exactly what you two want me to think.
He's coming back.
(GASPING) (POLICE CHATTERING) (SIREN BLARING) Here we go.
You got it? Yep.
HANK: Which one of these doors has a surveillance camera covering the street.
WU: There's a bank on the corner.
NICK: Start with that, work your way down.
WU: If we're lucky.
You want the footage of the precinct? HANK: ASAP.
NICK: (SIGHING) Damn it.
I saw that car.
What? The guy we passed on the street tonight, he was driving that car.
HANK: Can we get the plates? WU: Hold up.
Most of it.
New York plates.
Long way from home.
And they're probably bogus, but run them, anyway.
(PHONE RINGING) And put out an APB.
Parker.
We get you out of bed for nothing? PARKER: If you did, Nick, I wouldn't be calling.
KOLT: Don't you wish you hadn't come back? You killed them.
Ironically, they killed each other.
lt was dark.
(SCOFFS) I thought I saw you in Lisbon.
Yeah.
Well, that was my mistake.
The coins aren't here.
I figured that out.
So where are they? If I knew, you think I would have come back? I don't know.
Those coins make people do a lot of strange things.
Face down on the floor.
Now Why don't we start, with what the hell are we doing in Portland? I caught up with Stanislav in Morocco.
PARKER: The blast didn't kill him.
Didn't help him much.
But that's not what did him in.
I wasn't sure at first.
I was expecting a pierced lung or a fatal concussion.
But it appears his system just completely shut down.
Heart attack? PARKER: Nope.
But I started digging.
Guess what I found in his stomach.
Dinner.
If you like to eat money.
I prefer to spend it.
I guess he was really trying to take it with him.
The flip side is kind of interesting.
HANK: It's got to be German.
PARKER: Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, it looks older than that.
Must be valuable if he swallowed them.
ls that what killed him? His brain, stomach, and intestines were all inflamed.
But gold doesn't usually get that kind of allergic reaction.
Could it have been a drug reaction? Tox isn't back, yet.
Hey, what are you doing? Taking them.
But I think I should hold onto those until the toxicology report comes back.
But they're still evidence.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Could be why they blew the vault.
Burkhardt.
Where? Okay.
They found the BMW.
But guys Guys? What have we got? Where is it? BRENNER: BMW is in front.
Only house on the block.
All right.
Anybody go in or out? No.
All right.
Come on.
Let's get this done.
All right.
You cover the back.
Hey.
You okay? Never better.
Soledad, if the jeweler's got the coins, then where are they? If I knew that, I wouldn't be here.
That's why I went back.
But the cops were all over the place.
(SNARLING) Police.
Stop! Police! Hey! Don't you move.
Hank, come on! He's got a gun! (GRUNTS) Hank! Easy, he's down! HANK: Stay down! All right, hands above your head.
Come on.
(GRUNTS) There was another one.
What happened? He was fast.
I've never seen anyone run like that.
Oh, you lost him.
Don't make excuses.
Hank.
Do I have to do everything myself? Listen, Hank! We've got a crime scene here.
He's gone, let him go.
All right.
Officer Brenner? Get a coroner up here.
On your feet.
Let's go.
Dispatch, we need a, uh, coroner at (SNARLING) Rest in peace, Kolt.
(GRUNTS) All right.
Let's get these coins in evidence.
Hey, don't worry.
I got it.
But first I'm gonna break that guy.
I just got the prelim on the jewelry store.
I want you guys to fill me in in my office.
HANK: That's when we got the call on the car.
We ran it down and came on the house they were using as a hideout.
NICK: Look, Captain, there were these coins I got it! I got it! So, we got to the house.
We went right in and I took him down.
Two bodies on the floor.
One guy got Hey, hey, hey.
Slow down.
I want to hear more about these coins.
I got 'em.
I'm gonna put them in evidence.
Well, can I see them? Why? They're safe.
Parker pulled them from the jewelers' stomach.
Uh, apparently he swallowed them.
The coins are not the problem here.
It's about that guy we took down.
Just give me five minutes with him Hank! I wanna see the coins.
HANK: They're, uh German.
Not necessarily.
The swastika dates all the way back to antiquity.
ln Buddhism and Hinduism, it's primarily a symbol of good luck.
And for the Chinese, this represents eternity.
What do you know about the coins? Just that the jeweler was trying to hide them in his stomach.
I'll take them into evidence.
That's all right, I'll get 'em there.
Captain, I think I should Detective.
Now, I understand that you came on a little strong tonight with our suspect.
We've all had a long day.
I suggest you go home and get yourself a little rest.
Nick will interview the suspect.
Yes, sir.
Hank.
Let's go.
What the hell is wrong with the Captain? I'm the one who should be putting those coins into evidence.
I'm the primary on this.
Hank, look.
We've all had a long day here.
Why don't you just go home? Hank.
Go.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
(PHONE RINGING) Oui? (SPEAKING FRENCH) NICK: Farley Kolt.
Imagine my surprise.
I thought you were just a cop.
Right now, that's all you need to worry about.
I'm not worried.
Ballistics will prove that Flynn and Hans shot each other.
Flynn and Hans? lan Flynn.
Irish by way of Berlin.
Hans Roth.
Austrian.
They both worked with a Spaniard, Soledad Marquesa.
Who got away.
Yep.
I've been following them for a long time.
I finally caught up with them tonight.
But uh And why were you following them? lt would be helpful if we could talk off the record.
ls this being recorded? No.
I want to give you a chance to come clean.
(SIGHS) Look, this has nothing to do with you being a cop, you know.
Really, I could care less.
This has to do with who you are and who I am.
You're not the only Grimm I've ever known.
ln fact, the reason I'm here is because of a Grimm.
Tell me about the coins.
Well, they're priceless.
A lot of people have died trying to get their hands on them.
Where did they come from? That, my friend, is a long, long story.
Tell me.
Okay.
Eighth Century BC, gold was being mined on the island of Zacynthus in ancient Greece.
Now, certain coins that were struck from that mine were stamped with a swastika on one side, signifying good fortune, and a lion's head on the other symbolizing wealth and power.
Now, this particular lion's head was the Nemean lion slayed by Heracles, whose fur was impervious to attacks because it was made of gold.
And whose claws were sharper than mortal swords and could cut through armor.
And it would seem those who held the coins possessed a kind of charismatic influence over other men.
As the Greek empire fell, the coins found their way into the Romans' hands.
From Claudius to Caligula to Nero.
The coins had a devastating effect on whoever possessed them.
From there, the coins made their way into China and the Han dynasty.
Then, they just disappeared for several centuries.
Until they resurfaced in the Third Reich.
We all know how that story goes.
And so, after the defeat of the Nazis, the coins disappeared again.
Nobody but a small handful of people knew where the coins were.
Those people were your ancestors.
Grimms are stronger than most.
Not so easily affected.
And they have taken great care to protect the coins.
And they've been successful at it until eighteen years ago.
When the Grimm who was protecting the coins was found and murdered.
Once again, the coins were in circulation.
Who was the Grimm who was killed? She was the sister of the woman I was in love with.
When her sister died, she left me in order to raise her sister's son.
Where was this? Rhinebeck, New York.
Don't keep me locked up here.
I can see things you can't.
Impressive.
That's not enough to get you released.
You need my help to find those coins.
Because once those coins get a hold of you, you will fight to the death to keep them.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR) Officer Brenner never reported back from the crime scene.
And he's not responding to calls.
NICK: You tell the Captain? WU: Yeah, I just did.
Where is he? On his way to Evidence.
I've got a positive ID on the suspect who got away.
Soledad Marquesa, he's a Spanish national.
I'll run it.
Oh, jeez.
(SIGHS) Oh, my God.
Oh, you scared me.
Good.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) This is way past my bedtime.
You know? Well, if I could speak German, I wouldn't have called.
Oh.
So we've got a little (SPEAKING GERMAN) do we? I think the answer to that is, yes.
Really? Go for it.
Wow.
Okay.
Let's see what we've got here.
A Steinadler and Schakal.
Oh, this is high German.
This is the stuff my grandfather used to speak after a couple of beers.
(SPEAKING GERMAN) "On our way from Munich to Augsburg, I came across a small "fire a little ways into the woods.
" (SPEAKING GERMAN) Ooh.
This is some pretty bad Schakal this, uh, relative of yours is writing about.
Whoa, look out.
They ate a baby.
That's rude.
Okay, okay.
Here we go.
So, he caught up with the Schakal and, of course, cut off his head.
(SPEAKING GERMAN) You guys are really into that, aren't you? Okay.
ls there any indication what I'm up against with these Schakals? Well, yeah.
They're baby-eating bad-asses, man.
What more do you need to know? So, what about the, um Steinadlers? Steinadler.
Let's see.
Huh.
What? Just a second.
This is interesting.
Steinadlers seem to be involved with the military.
Like, heroic, noble.
Apparently, with very large Sausages.
I don't think I'm translating that correctly.
Um But, anyway, when you're dealing with the Steinadler, it's, um Basically, what they're saying is it's hard to tell whose side he's on.
So, they can't be trusted.
No, it's not that exactly.
It's more like a, um Like "trust your gut.
" But the thing that really doesn't add up is the Steinadler with a Schakal.
They're like opposite sides of a coin.
Well, it's funny you should mention that.
There was a jewelry store robbery involving some rare coins.
Uh, with a swastika on one side, lion's head on the other.
You know anything about that? No.
You got me on that one.
Coins? Not my thing.
Now, stamps, on the other hand, I'm a whiz.
Well Dealing with coins here.
Well, I've got nothing.
Anything else you want me to translate? No.
Thank you.
Hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Careful now! Sorry.
Oh, my God.
ls that camera an Akeley? Be careful.
Where did you get this? Oh, right.
Aunt Marie.
Of course.
No way.
Dude.
That is a Kineclair projector.
How do you know all of this? Okay.
My great uncle on my mother's side, Olaf.
That's my uncle's name, not my mother's.
He worked as a newsreel cameraman in Berlin in the 20s.
He had a camera shop on the Leitung Strasse.
So, when he died, my mother got all of his old stuff.
And Right.
I'm sorry.
It's late.
I should be going.
Look, I appreciate all of your help.
Yeah, yeah.
No problem.
It's just, you've got me thinking I've got to find those old cameras, man.
I'm going to be up all night rummaging through the attic.
All right.
Bis spaeter, alligator.
Bis spaeter.
NICK: We arrested a guy tonight.
During the interview, he said something pretty weird.
What did he say? He said he knew someone from Rhinebeck.
Rhinebeck, New York, where you were born? Yeah.
He said he was with a woman eighteen years ago.
But, she left him when her sister died in an accident.
And she left him to take care of her sister's kid.
Wait a minute.
Was he talking about your Aunt Marie? I don't know.
You didn't ask? Look.
I couldn't.
That's a police investigation.
I can't bring my personal life into it.
Yeah, he could use it against me.
And I don't even know if he's telling me the truth.
Well, how do you find out? I have to do some digging.
Okay.
How can I help? Listen, his name is Farley Kolt.
I want to know if he was living in Rhinebeck when he said he was.
SOLEDAD: Why did you cut him open? PARKER: To determine the cause of death.
What did you find out? (GASPS) Only tell me if you want to live.
(WHIMPERING) He was poisoned.
The coins.
(SCREAMS) You found the coins.
Where are they? I The police took them.
When? A few hours ago.
(WHIMPERING) What are you going to do? (BANGING) (CROWD CHANTING) (CROWD CHEERING LOUDLY) WOMAN: I swear I don't know what happened.
I promise.
Hey.
How are you feeling? Guilty.
I don't know what came over me last night.
I go to the edge sometimes but I almost never go over.
Happens.
What have we got? We've got an ID on the other set of prints from the house.
Soledad Marquesa.
The guy who got away last night? Yeah.
Pretty lengthy criminal career in Europe.
Known to associate with our two dead thieves, Flynn and Hans.
What about Kolt? Well, ballistics cleared him on the shooting.
But we still don't know if he was involved in the heist.
I wanna take a closer look at this guy.
He did have this in his possession.
Hotel Deluxe.
Checked in two nights ago.
What are we doing here? Let's get a warrant.
OFFICER: Yes, sir? I want you to call a press conference for two o'clock today.
Today, sir? Here at the precinct.
All officers and personnel are required to attend.
Yes, sir.
Can I say what it's about? The present state of law enforcement in our city.
Thanks.
If we need anything else we'll let you know.
Okay.
(GRUNTS) I've got a suitcase.
You find anything? A couple of Armani suits, two pair of Mephisto shoes, and a pair of commando boots.
You know, I found some black clothing in the dresser.
You thinking black ops? I don't know.
He was pretty cool under the interrogation.
Who wants to bet he's moving drugs? HANK: Huh.
What do you know.
There's actually film in there.
Hmm.
NICK: 1943.
This letter is in German.
Any idea what streng geheim means? I imagine "top secret," like this one in English.
Dated June Office of Strategic Services.
That's a precursor to the CIA.
I knew there was something freaky about this guy.
Who signed that? W.
Donavan "This letter will serve as background information "relevant to the discovery of the Imperial coins by the "101 st airborn at the Kehlstein Haus, April 1945.
"Ten coins were thought to exist.
"Three in a lead-lined box were discovered here.
"They're being relocated to Allied Headquarters under guard to be placed in a vault.
"Emission spectrochemical analysis has revealed "that the coins contain gold, arsenic, and mercury.
"Because of their toxicity, under no circumstances are the coins to be handled.
" Now they tell me.
You really think those coins could actually physically affect somebody? Well, you were pretty edgy last night.
Well, it was weird.
I was pumped.
Possessed.
I was like a Like a man on fire.
And the Captain took the coins.
He said he was going to take them to evidence.
I hope he did.
Griffin.
What? When did that happen? Yeah.
Okay.
Parker was put in the hospital.
She was pistol whipped last night.
Apparently, whoever did it was interested in our dead jeweler.
Soledad Marquesa.
He's going after the coins.
All right, you want to finish up here? I'll see about Parker.
Yeah.
I'll get the docs translated and look after the coins.
Sorry, Burkhardt.
Got to lock up and kick you out.
Why? Captain's giving some kind of speech.
We all got to be there.
Did you find what you were looking for? No.
Hey, are you sure the Captain didn't bring anything into Evidence last night? If he did, it's not in the log.
Come on.
We gotta go.
RENARD: The war against crime and criminal behavior cannot be waged What's going on? I have no idea.
the elements of our society which allow that enemy to exist.
We are confronted with an epidemic of moral degradation.
And we must fight with the greatest vigor against all those influences which are trying to weaken the very fabric of our society.
We stand here You find the coins? They were never recorded as evidence.
how big or small.
Our dedication to this task knows no boundaries.
With the brutal death two nights ago of Sam Bertram, a successful jeweler and business owner here in our city for over thirty-five years, that line has been crossed.
And I, for one, will not rest until we bring justice to every last citizen who has ever had the misfortune of being terrorized in their streets and in their businesses and in their homes.
It ends here, and it ends now.
Thank you.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING LOUDLY) Thank you.
REPORTER: Captain Renard, is this speech intended to launch a political career? Well, it's intended to be a warning to anyone who plans on breaking the law in our city.
Sir, the coins.
They're not in the evidence room.
I'm busy.
Captain He's lying.
He's got them.
We have to get them back.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Hey.
So, I found out some interesting stuff about Farley Kolt.
You ready? Yeah.
According to real estate records and phone books, he spent five years in Rhinebeck.
The same exact time you were there and seems to have left around 1994.
Same year my parents died.
Exactly.
You want me to get more? Yeah.
Thanks, Juliette.
You're the best.
I know.
Hey, what's that about your parents dying? I don't know yet.
Hey, keep an eye on the Captain.
I'm going to go talk to Kolt.
Got it.
(DOOR CLOSING) What was the name of the woman you knew in Rhinebeck, New York? (SIGHS) So, you checked my story.
Good.
What was her name? Marie Kessler.
Why? How well did you know her? We were engaged.
I can't say either side of the family was too happy.
You know her.
She was my aunt.
You're the kid she had to raise.
I didn't know.
Then, she's dead, isn't she? How long ago? Four months.
I'm sorry.
I wish I could have seen her just one more time.
Yeah, well, me too.
Still trying to figure out if you can trust me? Yeah, something like that.
Look, I can help you.
Soledad will make his move if he hasn't already.
He got the coins at one time.
Eighteen years ago, outside Rhinebeck, Highway Nine G.
Soledad killed my parents? He was one of the many involved.
My point is, he got the coins.
Or should I say, the coins got him.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Yeah.
They found Officer Brenner's body in a motel room.
Somebody stripped his uniform.
Well, that's something that I can't answer at this point.
But, uh The Captain's leaving.
You better get up here.
Soledad killed a police officer and took his uniform.
And he's here? Get me out.
And we will make changes, and they will have an effect.
Thank you.
That's it for today.
I've got a meeting with the mayor.
Thanks, sir.
Thank you.
You won't find the coins here.
Where's the Captain? He just left.
What's he doing here? Ballistics cleared him.
He knows Soledad and he can help us find him.
Let's go.
He's here.
Stay here.
HANK: Captain! Police! Put down your gun! (GUN SHOTS) (GRUNTING) (COUGHING) Stay down! Stay down! (PANTING) You all right? Are you hit? (GROANS) Listen to me.
Two people were killed in Rhinebeck, New York, 18 years ago.
Reed and Kelly Burkhardt.
You were involved.
Please.
Tell me what happened.
Please.
Let me hold the coins one more time.
Tell me! (COUGHS) Tell me.
(FRUSTRATED GRUNT) I'll go check on the Captain.
No, no, no.
I can't.
No.
You have to help me find them, I can't find them.
Nick, who took them? Who took them, Nick? I was hoping you'd come back for the briefcase.
Put the coins on the bed.
Okay.
Hold on a second.
Look.
You don't understand.
I do understand.
Put the coins on the bed.
(COINS CLINKING) KOLT: No.
(SNARLING) You'll never find them again.
Forget about 'em.
Oh, I've tried.
Try harder.
