Previously on "Grimm"...

It's a boy.

Whether you accept this child or not, I'm gonna have our baby, Nick.

I stilled k*lled three women. They won't stop looking.

What we need is a suspect that's about your height...

With a British accent.

What are the chances of finding that?

No!

I didn't know Kenneth was gonna do that.


You should have k*lled me when you had the chance.

[roars]

Goodbye, Juliette.

No, Juliette.

Get her.

[panting]

Hank.

Nick, just checking in on you.

I'm heading in.

There were a lot of them.

They must have drugged me or something.

Where are you?

At home.

Juliette's dead.

- What?

Juliette's dead.

They took Trubel.


All right, Nick, stay there. I'm on my way.

[roars]

No, Juliette.

[whimpering]

Nick.

Hey, I was trying to let you sleep.

I know.

Thanks, but my brain wouldn't shut off.

Wouldn't even slow down.

I know.

There's a little too much going on.

What am I saying? There's a lot too much going on.

I was thinking, you know, Nick's gonna need a lot of help.

Adalind's gonna have that baby sooner than later, and...

And what?

[cell phone rings]

It's Nick.

Hey, Nick. How are...

Have you seen Trubel?


No. Are you okay?

When was the last time you saw her?

Last night. We left her at Bud's.

What's wrong?

Juliette's dead.

What?

They took her body. They grabbed Trubel.

They took my mom's head.

I don't know what the hell's going on.

I'll call you back.

Juliette's dead?

What the hell?

[panting]

She was hiding.

She went to the trailer.

You know that FBI agent?

I think her name's Chavez?

She's Wesen.

You saw her woge?

Yeah, when she kidnapped me.

It's Chavez.

Nick.

It's Chavez.

Nick.

Nick, what happened?

Juliette was here last night, trying to k*ll me.

She would have, too, but Trubel sh*t her.

Trubel k*lled Juliette?

Yeah, with the crossbow, before she could k*ll me.

Oh, my God. Juliette's dead?

I was holding her when she d*ed.

I thought you said she got on the helicopter.

No, I saw her heading to the helicopter.

I never saw her get on it. Hank, she's dead.

I was holding her in my arms...

Okay, okay. Nick, Nick, Nick. Just take it easy.

Then we got hit. They came in from everywhere.

Who?

I don't know.

But it was professional. They grabbed Trubel.

I tried to stop them. They drugged me.

When I woke up, Juliette's body was gone and my mom's head.

They took everything, even the crossbow.

Why?

So there'd be no evidence of what they did or that Trubel was ever here.

Was it the Royals?

No, it wasn't the Royals.

If it was the Royals, I'd be dead right now.

Okay, then who?

Chavez.

The FBI agent? That Chavez?

That's the only thing that makes sense.

Well, none of this is making much sense right now.

She abducted Trubel once before.

What the hell?

To see if she was a Grimm.

But what does she want with a Grimm?

Trubel told me that Chavez is part of a secret government group that wanted to use her to help them go after Wesen.

But if they wanted a Grimm, why didn't they take you too?

Chavez doesn't know about me.

When she was investigating Weston Steward sh**ting the captain, I wasn't a Grimm.

And they saw one of the books from the trailer in Trubel's room.

All right, how did they even know Trubel was here now?

They must have been tracking her or waiting for her to show up.

I don't know, but they knew.

All right, Nick, I need you to slow down.

I need you to find out everything you can about Chavez.

All right, what are you gonna do?

I'm going after her.

Hold on, wait. Wait. Wait!

You do realize you're talking about going after an FBI agent?

She's Wesen. I'm taking her down.

Captain, got good news.

We think we got our Jack the Ripper.

When?

Call came in last night.

Found a body in a warehouse in Northwest Industrial.

You got an I.D.?

Yeah, Kenneth Alun Goderich Bowes Lyon, presently holding a passport from Luxembourg, so the accent probably fits.

And we found the m*rder w*apon on him.

Lab's got it now.

What happened to him?

Remember the last girl that got att*cked and was rescued by the three guys?

Yeah, we're thinking they went vigilante.

Interesting problem we got on this one: a lawyer from Austria is already making inquiries about having the body returned.

Apparently he's some kind of royalty.

If you care about that kind of thing.

Not really.

Do what you need to wrap it up.

Okay.

Hey.

Good work.

Why don't you tell me about the young lady living in your house,

Theresa Rubel?

She's awfully handy with a machete.

[car horn honks]

[tires squealing]

Hank, I need to talk to you about a 911 call that just came in.

All right, not now, but you need to hear this.

The description matched.

We found the m*rder w*apon on his body.

I'm preparing a statement for release this afternoon.

Yes, of course, we'll continue our search for the vigilantes who k*lled him.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

What's wrong?

Nick has gone off the deep end.

How?

He's going after Chavez, the FBI agent.

What?

Why?

He thinks she took Trubel.

From Bud's house?

No, from Nick's.

Trubel came back to his house last night.

Juliette was there.

How could she be there if she got on that helicopter?

That's what I thought too. But she didn't.

She came back to k*ll Nick.

At least that's what Nick told me.

Where's Juliette now?

She's dead.

Nick k*lled Juliette?

No. Trubel did.

All right, let me see if I got this straight.

Juliette does not get on that helicopter with the Royals.

Instead she goes over to Nick's house and tries to k*ll him?

But then Trubel shows up and kills Juliette instead.

And then Agent Chavez of the FBI arrives and takes Trubel away?

Along with Juliette's dead body and his mother's head.

Why would Chavez do that?

To cover it up.

What was Nick doing during all this time?

Sorry, I left out the part where they burst into his house and drugged him.

Nick is convinced that Chavez is behind it all.

He's gonna take her down.

His words, not mine.

Hanford has extensive outdoor experience.

Now, there was a possible sighting two days ago in the Dalles.

Credible?

Off duty police officer was buying beer, thought he recognized the face, but didn't put it together till later that night.

Follow up.

We've got a Detective Burkhardt, Portland Police, says he needs to see you.

Send him up.

If Nick was drugged, do you believe what he's saying?

I don't know what happened there last night.

Well, this may not be the best time to bring it up, but a 911 call just came in.

Two bodies were found across the street from Nick's house.

Looks like a home invasion.

Across the street from his house?

Yes, sir. Directly.

Officers are en route.

Do you think this is connected to what happened?

It has to be.

Nick wants us to run a background on Chavez.

A little dicey doing a background on an FBI agent.

I don't want any connection to this precinct.

If you do it, don't do it here.

But I suggest you find Nick first.

What can I do for you, Detective?

Do we have an investigation in common?

No.

So what do you need?

I need you to tell me where Theresa Rubel is.

Theresa Rubel.

Isn't that the young woman who was staying in your house?

You know exactly who she is.

You took her from my house last night!

I don't know what you're talking about, Detective.

Are you saying she was kidnapped?

Where is she?

I'm not sure I understand where you're going with this.

You took Trubel. You took Juliette's body. You took my mother's head.

Where did you take them?

Excuse me?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry, Detective, I don't.

I know you're involved in some secret government organization.

I don't know what you think you're doing here, but you better get out of my office before you find yourself under arrest.

You're Wesen, and I know it.

Let's go.

Tell me where she is!

Escort him out of the building.

If he resists, arrest him.

You know who I am!

Get off! Get off!

Let's go!

He sounds crazy.

He is.

I just talked to the coroner.

No bodies have been brought in matching Trubel's description or Juliette's.

I mean, I know she turned into a crazed Hexenbiest k*ller, but I always hoped that somehow she'd come around.

Yeah, didn't we all?

Also, no heads in a box.

Well, I guess that's the good news.

There's more bad?

Another body was found in another house across the street from Nick's.

That makes three.

It was been reported as a home invasion.

Don't suppose we can set them straight.

I saw those guys coming towards Nick's house just before we got out.

At least we know where they were coming from.

[cell phone rings]

It's Nick.

Finally.

Where have you been?

Chavez knows.

You saw her?

Had a little chat.


Look, Nick, there's other stuff going on.

What did you find out about her?

Not much, but you got to come in here.

I need to know where Chavez lives.

Look, forget about her for a second and get in here.

Three of your neighbors were k*lled last night.

What?

It has to be those guys I saw coming for us.


All right, I'm coming in.

The suspect's body, who we now believe is our Jack the Ripper copycat, was discovered late last night.

[phone beeps]

Yeah.

Special Agent Chavez from the FBI is on the phone for you.

I'll take it.

[sighs]

[phone beeps]

This is Captain Renard.

Captain, I wish I had a better reason to call you.

What's the problem?

Your Detective Burkhart was in my office this morning.

He made some accusations which lead me to believe he's under a lot of stress.

He's had some family problems recently.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry to hear that, but his behavior in my office was unbalanced and threatening.

We almost had to place him under arrest.

I'd like to leave this in your hands, but if this happens again, it'll be out of my hands, and he will find himself in jail.

I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Good.

Who was k*lled?

Haven't got names yet.

Two on the south side corner house and one in the garage at the west-side corner house.

That must have been how they controlled the area to get to my mother.

Obviously the royal family wasn't worried about collateral damage.

Hey, Nick.

I need to see you in my office.

Yeah, I need to talk to you too.

What are you doing?

What are you talking about?

You confronted Special Agent Chavez in her own office, with witnesses?

What the hell were you thinking?

Captain, you don't understand...

Maybe I do, maybe I don't, but you might get yourself arrested on federal charges if you don't stop what you're doing.

Chavez is part of a secret government organization.

What organization, Nick?

I don't know.

But that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Last night, they took Juliette's body.

They took Trubel... - Stop.

I've been told. We're gonna look into it.

You don't believe me?

[sighs]

A lot has happened, and you have to take some time.

No, I don't need time...

This is not a suggestion.

Are you suspending me?

No, I am telling you to take some time.

Now, if you don't, then I will suspend you.

Captain, you don't understand what Chavez...

Enough.

You go near her again, and you'll be facing a lot more than a suspension.

That didn't go well.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hold on. Slow down.

I've been ordered to take some time off.

Well, you have been going through a lot.

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

How can I take time when I know what's going on?

Hey, listen, man. Listen, we just want to help.

[scoffs]

You don't believe me either.

Now what?

Got to get some help.

[bells jingle]

What are you doing?

What do you mean what am I doing?

I'm opening up the shop.

I already did that.

You just made us closed again.

I did? Oh.

[sighs]

I don't think I can focus on spice and tea.

I mean, Juliette's dead, and somebody took Trubel.

How did this happen just since last night?

Look, obviously we're only getting part of the story.

I mean, Nick was way fried when he called.

So I think we're just gonna have to, you know, take all this with a very large grain of salt.

If Juliette's dead, Juliette's dead.

Nick wouldn't just make that up, and he certainly wouldn't call and tell us that if it's not true.

Okay, look, the last thing we knew, she was getting on that helicopter.

Oh, my God. The helicopter crashed.

No, he didn't say anything about a helicopter.

He just said they took her body.

Who? Who took her body?

I assume whoever k*lled her.

Unless she d*ed of natural causes, which is highly unlikely considering what she was at the end.

So whoever k*lled her took her body and Trubel?

And his mom's head.

This does not make any sense.

They just all happened to be in the same place...

[cell phone rings]

At the same time, like some sick scavenger hunt?

It's Hank.

Hank, what the hell is going on?

- Have you talked to Nick?

Oh, yeah.


That doesn't sound like a very good "Oh, yeah."

- It's not.

Is Juliette really dead?


I think so, but I'm not sure about anything anymore.

Are you guys at the shop?

Yes.


Wu and I are coming over. We need your help.

Because nothing else makes sense to him right now.

But I'm not sure anything else makes sense right now.

And he's not answering.

Well, the least we can do for Nick is find out what we can about Chavez.

We just can't do it at the precinct.

They took Juliette's body? He can't even bury her?

This is just horrible.

Well, Nick dying would have been horrible too.

What?

Not to speak ill of the dead.

I'm just saying better Juliette than Nick.

I mean, you know, if it had to be one of them.

None of this was Juliette's fault.

She didn't become a Hexenbiest because she wanted to.

Well, she did sort of embrace it once she did.

And Juliette was trying to k*ll him.

That is not what I'm saying.

We were all a part of what happened to her.

She was trying to do what she thought was right for Nick, what we all thought was right.

Honey, she knew there were risks, and...

That doesn't mean she gets all the blame.

No, look, nobody's saying that.

It's just a bad deal all around.

Yeah.

I just...

I was starting to miss the old Juliette, and now this has happened, and it just...

It feels... it feels so final, you know?

I just wish I'd had a chance to say some kind of good-bye.

Look, you guys, the point is, he feels responsible for Trubel, if she's even still alive.

So it makes sense, you know?

He's grasping at whatever straw he can find.

Got some stuff on Chavez.

What?

Chavez has an exemplary record with the bureau.

Five years ago, she was given the FBI Award for Meritorious Achievement.

Got an address?

I do.

In Eastmoreland.

I better get over there before he decides to do something stupid.

You know what? Let me go.

It'll be less official.

You want me to go with you?

No, I should probably do this alone.

Besides, he might not even be the.

And how do we find out about this secret government agency that's supposedly interested in Grimms?

Uh, probably not on the Internet.

Maybe the Wesen Council knows something, although I doubt they'd tell me if they did.

Trubel told Nick that Chavez is involved with this group, right?

Yeah.

Well, Chavez is the only name we've got.

Then we keep digging.

Who we were meeting with.

[heavy breathing]

We have to go.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[growls]

[all grunting]

[grunts]

[bones cr*ck]

[g*nshots]

[engine turning over]

[tires squealing]

[breathing heavily]

Don't.

No, we need to get you to a hospital.

You can't be tied to this.

Where's Trubel?

Where did you take her?

[sighs]

They're coming here... to Portland.

Where is she?

They're rising... everywhere.

[gasps]

It's w*r.

[cell phone buzzing]

Where are you?

She's dead.

Who is this?

The others were dead when we got here.

Who is this?

Keep the phone.

Baby's all right.

What about Adalind?

She's exhausted, but she's okay.

What happened?

The baby's arm was above his head.

It was blocking him from coming out.

I can go in there, right?

Yeah, I think she'd like that.

Thanks for being here.

[exhales deeply]

You okay?

Better now.

I wasn't sure you'd want to be here.

I don't know. Maybe you don't want to be here.

But at least you are here.

Don't hate me anymore, Nick.

For our son's sake, we can't be like we were.

I don't want to raise him by myself.

And he's as much of you as he is me.

I don't know if that's good on either side.

Well, maybe he won't be like either one of us.

I know I can't force you to be there for him.

I will be.

Want to hold him?

[groans]

I thought of a name for him.

Don't you think we should...

Kelly.

Okay.
