03x18 - The Law of Sacrifice

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Grimm...

The resistance has managed to get Adalind Schade and her child away from us.

[g*nsh*t]

I guess I should thank you for saving our lives.

As long as you have that child, they won't stop trying to find you.

Who's this?

This is my mom.

Adalind.

Oh, God.

She's the one who put Juliette in the coma.

I was recruited by the resistance to get her to safety.

You k*lled her mother.

Obviously, she doesn't know.

This child has an extraordinary destiny.

Mr. Renard, there's a woman here to see you.

Does Renard live nearby? I'm going to get that baby.

You have to let me talk to him first.

Your captain might not be interested in what a Grimm thinks.

He might just want to k*ll you.

Say hi to your daddy.

[Baby cooing]

I'm starving.

I haven't eaten since this morning.

To tell you the truth, I haven't eaten well in about a month...

Unless you count rabbit on a stick.

Oh.

How was the birth? Was it difficult?

You mean besides the "I thought I was gonna explode and die" part?

What do you think?

I wish I could have been there.

Stop reminiscing about what you didn't do.

You need to start thinking about what you're gonna do now.

[Baby coos]

Well, as long as you're here, I suggest you stay away from the windows.

The fewer people who know you're here, the better.

[Baby cries]

Oh... shh, shh, shh.

How'd you get here, anyway?

In a plane.

No, I don't mean Portland. I mean here, my place.

In a truck.

Where did you get a truck?

Nick's mom stole it when we landed.

That's how she got me to Nick's place.

Well, it's a good thing she didn't know who you are.

If she did, I think I'd be dead.

We had a couple of nice moments on the plane.

But she's a Grimm, and I'm a hexenbiest.

You know how that usually goes.

[Intercom buzzes]

Yeah.

Sir, Nick Burkhardt is here to see you.

He didn't come alone.

Anyone with him?

No, sir.

Send him up.

Are you kidding me?

You're letting him up here?

He knows you're here.

Where else would you be?

Well, make sure he's alone.

I will.

If he tries to take my baby...

Our baby.

If he tries to take our baby...

k*ll him.

[Knock at door]

Come in.

Six dead Verrat, no Adalind, and no royal child.

I hope there's no more bad news.

Sir, we just received confirmation.

The plane landed on the Oregon coast about 5 1/2 hours ago.

Then Adalind Schade has gone home...

Where she assumes she'll be safe.

Who do we have in Portland?

We need to review all the depositions.

I want to go over everybody's testimony before they get up on that stand.

We spent way too much time and money to blow this case on a technicality.

[Cell phone rings]

I need to take this. Excuse me.

Ruspoli?

Is this a good line?

Yes, but it's not a good time right now.

Your problem.

We've sent you two photos.

Have you received them?

One second.

The woman is Adalind Schade.

The other is...

I know.

Captain Sean Renard, Portland Police Department.

We believe she's on her way to see him.

She has a baby with her.

What do you want me to do?

Confirm that she's there and they're together.

Look, it can be a little tricky running surveillance on a police captain.

Then be a little tricky, Mr. Steward.

Yes, sir.

And what if they are there?

We want that child...

Unharmed.

What about the others?

Do what you have to.

How much time do I have?

None.

This has to be done...

Now.

We're on our way.

[Tense music]

[Elevator bell dings]

So I hear your mother's in town.

That's the rumor.

I was under the impression she was dead.

I was under that impression for quite a while myself.

I'm glad you came alone...

Not that I don't trust your mother.

Let me just say...

I didn't know about any of this until a couple of hours ago.

I know how you feel about Adalind, Nick.

But you try and take this child...

And it won't go well.

We gonna do this out here?

Is there a problem?

Yeah.

Uh, I need to know if you've seen this woman enter the building within the past couple of hours.

She's a witness in a federal case.

I'll be right with you.

She may have been carrying a child with her.

I'm pretty sure that's her.

Would it be possible for me to check the security footage?

I just need to make sure she's here.

Yes, sir. Just step around the desk.

Thank you.

What do you want, Nick?

Personal feelings aside...

I'm not here to hurt you or take your baby.

But my mom risked her life to get you here.

And if she hadn't...

I know what she did.

What would she have done if she knew who I was?

Or, more to the point, who you are again.

It's good to be back, Nick.

[Growls]

You find that attractive? Really?

All right, okay, we're getting off topic here.

[Snarls]

I'm not leaving here.

So why don't you and your mom go on home and have a nice little Grimm reunion?

If the Verrat knows where the plane picked you up, they're gonna figure out where you went.

You know the Verrat... they work for the royal families, just like you used to.

And you don't think they're gonna know about your relationship with her?

How is it she happened to be in Vienna in the first place and to get the job with GQR Industries, owned by the royal families?

The best chance you and your baby have right now is for us to work together.

Now, I don't like it any more than you do.

But it's not like we have a lot of choice here.

And let me just say...

It's not me and my mom you have to be afraid of.

And you are gonna need our help.

When you're ready, we'll talk.

[Door opens, closes]

Don't you have something to say?

What did you tell my brother when you went to work for him?

She's up there with the kid...

1605.

Nick.

We got a problem.

What?

Mom, last time we crossed paths with the FBI, two agents d*ed.

I didn't do that.

I'm not saying you did.

I'm just saying...

Where is he?

Over here.

You did this?

He isn't dead.

But this isn't the problem.

He knows Adalind's upstairs with your captain, and so do the two guys he just sent around the back.

FBI?

I doubt it.

But we better get upstairs before they do.

You take the front.

You told me I had to choose a side.

I chose you.

Now what happens?

I'll do everything in my power to protect you and our child.

What does that mean?

It means that...

You stay with me.

So we're back together?

I guess so.

You don't seem too happy about it.

Well, you did sleep with my brother.

And you slept with my mother.

I suppose we belong together?

[Baby fusses]

I'm scared.

I know.

[Cell phone rings]

It's Nick.

Now what?

There's two men coming into your building.

They know Adalind is there. Get out now.

We have to go, now.

What?

They're coming.

Come on, let's go.

[Elevator bell dings]

What are you doing here?

[Running footsteps approaching]

The stairs.

Down!

[Grunting]

[Growls]

[g*nsh*t]

No! No!

No, this is my mom.

We have to get out of here.

That was hardly subtle.

That's Verrat.

Yeah.

Where's your car?

Downstairs, parking garage.

Get it, meet us out front, and follow me.

You okay?

[Cell phone rings]

[Grunts]

Should I get that?

No, I got it.

Oh.

[Sighs]

Hey, Nick.

Now, I know you're not calling this late because you don't have a problem.

Yeah, you're right. Big one.

Are you with Rosalee?

Uh, yes.

You might wanna put this on speaker.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]
Hi, Nick.

Hi.

You remember Adalind?

You mean the Adalind who put Juliette in a coma Adalind?

Yeah, that's the one.

What's she done now?

Well, she's had a baby.

And she's back in Portland.

And now we're trying to save her life.

What?

Excuse me?

Yeah, my mom brought her back.

She's with me now.

Adalind is with you now?

No, my mom.

Your mom's back?

Wait a minute.

Didn't your mom k*ll her mom?

Yes, but Adalind does not know that.

For the record, she fell on a shard of glass.

Oh, you're... You're right there.

Oh, hi. Long time no...

Look, we need a safe place for Adalind and the baby to stay.

Not for long, just a couple of days.

Where's the baby's father?

Yeah.

That would be the captain.

Your captain?

Yeah. And he's coming too.

Hold on. Let me just see if I've got a handle on this.

Your mom, your captain, Adalind and her baby and you are all coming here to stay?

No, just Adalind and the baby. Look...

I wouldn't ask if I knew a better way to do this.

I'll tell you the rest when I get there.

There's more?

A little bit.

[Sirens wail]

[Police radio chatter]

[Ignition turns over]

Would someone please tell me what the hell just happened?

This just happened.

What's this?

He was in your building asking about Adalind and the baby.

The guard said she was there, and that's when he sent in the two hundjager.

An FBI agent working with the Verrat.

That's not good.

Let's get inside.

I'm not going anywhere until I know where I'm going.

We're trying to keep you and your baby alive.

I just wanna know where I am.

That's the point.

If you don't know where you are, they won't know where to look for you.

[Baby squealing]

Hey.

I really appreciate you doing this.

[Door closes]

Me too.

Well, you remember my mother?

Of course.

Hi.

And, Adalind, this is Monroe and Rosalee.

Wow.

She's beautiful.

Come on in. Let's get you settled.

So why are you doing this?

The royals are after that child.

And they'll k*ll to get it.

And the baby has some kind of power.

Yeah, hexenbiest kind of powers.

Yeah, but maybe more than that.

And from what I've seen...

It's pretty impressive. Well, thank you very much for bringing her and the chosen one over here.

You just need to keep her here until I can figure out what to do.

Nick, you gotta tell me, is this safe?

It's pretty safe.

[Door closes]

It's not perfect, but it'll do.

You know, under different circumstances, we might have k*lled each other.

You tried to k*ll my sister.

She was a Grimm.

And she had a key.

Now, if I had known then what I know now, might have approached things a little differently.

But you got the key.

I did.

Nick says you gave it back.

Nick is a lot more valuable to me than that key.

You work with the resistance.

And so do I.

I need to know that you value my child as much as I do.

You're asking, would I sacrifice my life to protect her?

You might have to.

We both might.

Oh.

Sorry.

Just gonna make some tea.

Want any?

No.

So, how's it feel to be a dad?

Not exactly the circumstances I'd imagined.

Right.

Look, I appreciate what you both are doing.

I know it's not easy.

Not so easy being a newborn either.

We need to get moving.

They're gonna wonder what happened to their FBI agent.

Whoa. What?

FBI agent?

Yeah, never mind.

[Kettle whistling]

[Click, whistling stops]

Do you want your necklace back?

Uh, no. No, no.

Let her keep it.

We're leaving.

All of you?

Yeah.

It's better if you stay with them alone.

There's no other way.

I'll get you a-a blanket.

And some pillows.

I don't want to be alone.

You won't be.

All right.

We need to deal with our FBI friend.

Yeah, agent Steward.

You'll be able to find out where he lives, right?

Yeah, we can do that.

The biggest mistake Adalind made was coming to you.

As long as you have your child, you'll be vulnerable.

The rest of your life.

And so will she.

What am I gonna tell them?

[Exhales] They are gonna k*ll me.

The royals?

[Growls]

[Snarling]

They probably will.

Could you really blame them?

I couldn't.

Weston, wake up.

Wake up, Weston.

Now why don't you tell me how the royals got a federal agent to work for them.

Why?

Am I supposed to be scared?

Really.

You wanna play that game? You see the white light?

What white light?

You're a dead man.

And you don't even know it.

[Grunts]

Ahh.

Don't thr*aten me.

Not after trying to k*ll me.

That's just bad manners.

[Snarls]

Now do you see white lights or just color?

Last number to have called you was from Vienna.

Who was that from?

I can just call it for you.

[Line rings]

I'm sure they'd love to hear from me on your phone.

Turn it off.

[Line stops ringing]

Who was it?

Let's get this over with. [Snarls]

[Groans]

[Hoarsely] Verrat.

Who in the Verrat?

Rus... Ruspoli.

And where's Ruspoli now?

You're gonna wanna answer that question.

Just k*ll him.

[Groans]

On his way here.

Alone?

I don't think so.

Is Viktor with him?

Yes.

All they want is the baby.

Just give it up... And your problems go away.

I'm not giving anything up.

And your problems have just begun.

Here's how it's gonna work.

You're gonna be arrested for the attempted assassination of a police captain.

We can tie you to the two men who were k*lled.

Not to mention, you're on the payroll of the royals.

FBI forensics will pull financial records and make that connection, and that's prison time.

Or, more likely, death by royals.

What do you want from me?

You're going to deliver a message.

What do you want me to tell them?

Where the baby is.

You're gonna give 'em the baby?

Just deliver the message.

This better work.

It'll work.

He's more afraid of them than he is of us.

Let's hope so.

Keep in touch.

Now it's time to tell Hank that Adalind's back.

Hank knows Adalind?

Yeah.

She tried to k*ll him.

[Ignition turns over]

Twice.

And you think he'll still help?

I think once he understands it's about her baby...

Hank!

She has a baby?

You're kidding me.

Nope.

When did this happen? I mean, when did she give birth?

I mean, how old is the baby?

It's not yours.

Thank God.

I mean, thank God.

That's not a woman you wanna have a baby with.

Who's the idiot father?

The captain.

Popular, this Adalind.

That's one way to look at it.

Three hundjagers tried to k*ll the captain and Adalind tonight to get the baby.

One of them's an FBI agent working for the royals.

We don't have a lot of time.

Okay.

Okay, what do you need me to do?

[Baby crying]

Monroe, are you awake?

Are you kidding?

I never was asleep in the first place.

I'm too nervous we'd be k*lled in our sleep to... sleep.

Shh-shh-shh-shh...

[Baby crying]

[Whispers] It's okay.

I'm sorry.

She just won't stop crying. I've tried everything.

She's got a little fever.

Yeah, with the way you've been living, you know, I'm not surprised.

You think she's sick?

I'm sure it's nothing too serious.

[Baby wailing]

[Clocks peeping, chiming, clacking]

Uh-oh.

This can't be good.

[Clock din continues]

[Baby wailing]

What's wrong with her?

I don't know.

It's okay.

Shh...

[Crying quiets down]

[Clocks stop]

What just happened?

[Baby coos]

How did... how did you get in here?

You're kidding, right?

[Both speaking in German]

Where is the child?

[Camera shutter clicking]

You're sure the child is here?

I'm sure that's what they want you to think.

Who's "they"?

Renard, the Grimm, some woman.

But I'm not sure who she is.

Listen, when this is all over, you wouldn't mind if I took care of Renard, would ya?

I don't mind at all.

What about this one? That's one owner.

130,000 miles.

We need something 50k or less.

Here's one.

2008. 46,000 miles.

4x4?

Yep.

Okay, I'm on it.

[Phone rings]

Hank.

Plane landed a few minutes ago.

Three guys got off the plane.

Your FBI guy was waitin' for 'em.

Where are they now?

Just driving past me.

All right. Meet me at the precinct.

Got it.

So this is where the baby is?

Yeah.

You've been here, I assume.

It's an old warehouse.

And?

And? It's a good place to get ambushed.

Why are they trusting you to do this?

If I don't, I'm to be charged with the attempted assassination of captain Renard.

And they can link me to the two Verrat who were k*lled.

Well, you're in a bit of a tough spot, aren't you?

I hope not.

I've been loyal to the crown.

We won't forget.

So...

I suggest we go right to the source.

[Knock on door]

Yeah.

Sir, you've got a visitor downstairs.

Does this visitor have a name?

Uh, quite a name.

His royal crown prince Viktor Chlodwig zu Schellendorf Von Konigsburg.

I may have inadvertently dropped a burg or a dorf or two but...

Show him in.

Yeah.

[Pen clatters]

That's our fed.

Which one's the prince?

I'm not sure I know what a prince looks like.

[Laughs]

I think I have a pretty good idea.

Welcome to Portland.

Thanks for having me.

I assumed you would call.

I was going to, but then I thought, what if somebody, say a relative, decided to ambush me in a deserted warehouse?

It did happen to one of our cousins, as you may recall.

To date, no one has been brought to justice for that crime.

Much like cousin Eric's death.

Hexenbiest got your tongue?

You're not getting my child.

The child will be given a very good home.

Raised as royalty, as it should be.

The child belongs with the family.

Particularly this child.

If you do not deliver the child within the next two hours, I will give the order for your death, the death of Adalind, and the death of your mother.

I know where she lives.

The question is, are you willing to put the child first?

Or are you going to live on the run for the rest of your life, which I promise you will not be very long?

You think it worked?

I have no idea.

You gonna be able to do this?

Yeah.

Make the arrest.

How did it go?

He has very few options.

None, to be exact.

Something still bothers me.

What?

This woman who's with the Grimm and Renard.

Where did she come from? Who is she?

Why was she there?

She didn't say much.

What did she say?

That they should k*ll me.

More aggressive than the men.

That's interesting.

[Tires screeching]

How many eggs do you want?

Eggs? Wow.

It's been so long since I had...

What?

Did I miss something? Or...

Police! Hands behind your head! Turn around!

[Police radio chatter]

I didn't do anything.

Kelly Burkhardt, you're under arrest for the m*rder of Catherine Schade.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

It's gonna be all right.

I don't understand.

How did she do it? I thought Nick k*lled my mom.

There's new evidence.

Isn't she helping us?

I can't get in the way of a police investigation.

Now I need you to come down here and to make a statement.

Come there? Now?

Is that even safe with what's going on?

It's a police precinct.

Nothing's going to happen to you here.

Just need you to make a statement about where you were when your mother d*ed.

I wasn't even in the country.

Then just tell them what you remember.

Okay, well, I'm not leaving the baby.

Then bring her with you.

I'll send a patrol car to pick you up.

[Phone beeps]

How is she?

She had kind of a rough night.

She seems to be okay now.

Well, you can leave her with me.

The officer will take you to the interview room.

How long is this gonna take?

10, 15 minutes.

And what about Nick?

Isn't he pretty mad about his mom being arrested?

I'll handle Nick.

Let's just get this over with.

I thought of a name.

What?

Diana.

Goddess of the hunt and the moon.

I like it.

[Baby coos]

I'm glad.

[Door closes]

What are you doing here?

I thought I was gonna make a statement.

I wanted to talk to you.

If nothing else, I owe you an explanation.

You k*lled my mother.

What other explanation is there?

I went there looking for you.

Because of what you did to Juliette.

Your mother didn't want to tell me anything.

So you made her.

My choice was to let Juliette die.

[Tense music]

Your son took my powers.

I was angry.

But you got them back.

I did.

That couldn't have been fun.

Who d*ed in the process?

Why are we having this conversation?

I had to give up my son because of who I was.

If I hadn't done that, he might have been k*lled.

It's your problem, nof mine.

I mean, if you're looking for some sort of forgiveness, I don't have any.

I'm not asking for forgiveness.

I want you to understand.

Sometimes we have to sacrifice what we love most.

No.

[Tense music]

Where is he?

Uh, who are you looking for?

Your captain.

Well, he was walking out a couple minutes ago.

You want me to try and grab him for...

Where is she?

We need to talk.

No. Where is she?

We can't do this out here.

Where's my daughter?

I had no choice.

Oh, my God.

They would have k*lled you.

Oh, my God.

And then he would have k*lled me, and he would have taken her anyway.

Oh, my God. You gave her to Viktor?

It was the only way to protect her.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

[Roars]

[Glass shatters]

[Car alarms wailing]

[Sobbing]

[Phone rings]

Yes.

We're almost there.

Good.

We're cleared for immediate departure.

[All yelling in German]

[In German]

You have no idea who you're dealing with.

[Yelling in German]

We did it.

She's still asleep.

Let's hope she stays that way for awhile.

How was my German?

I believed it.

But you don't... You don't speak German.

It has to be done.

I hope you're right.

[Scoffs]

I'm gonna have to teach you not to do that in public.

[Baby coos]

[Chuckles]
