Previously on "Grimm"...

You want to tell me what's going on?

Dixon was meant to die, and you were meant to k*ll the man that k*lled him.

We could make you the most powerful man in the city.

Gallagher's poll numbers are down 25%.

Sean, we're running out of time.

You need to commit. You're either in or you're out.

You can win this... and a whole lot more.

Have you seen this lipstick? It's all over YouTube.

Glossy lipstick is all the rage.

Oh, and this mascara is amazing.

I heard of this stuff. It looks pretty good.

That's super cute on you.

You've got an amazing look.

I'm sorry. That sounded really creepy.

My name's Malcolm Caulfield.

I'm a professional photographer.

I sh**t a lot of commercials and you have a great look.

If you're interested, I'd love to sh**t some test sh*ts.

Unless you're already represented by an agency, then I could just go through them.

She's not represented by anybody.

Neither am I.

Here.

Take a look at my website. You can see what I do.

If you're interested, give me a call.

Either way, thanks for your time.

Yeah, you really do have an amazing look.

Oh, my God, give me that card.

I'm checking out his website right now.

Oh, no, I can't do this.

You can if he's legit.

Are you smiling?

Are you smiling?

[gurgles]

Yes, you are.

I think you're smiling.

What are you thinking?

I know you don't have any language skills, but that doesn't matter.

You're gonna have to talk to me sooner or later, so enough of this silent treatment, okay?

Huh? How about "Mama"?

Can you say "Grimm"?

Hey.

Well he must be getting hungry because I am getting hungry.

That's your phone, you want me to answer it?

Yeah. He's holding me down right now.

Aren't you holding me down?

Nick Burkhardt's phone.

Adalind?

Ju... uh, Eve.

How are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I need to talk to Nick.

It's Eve. I think we should trade.

Here you go.

There you go, bud.

Yeah?

I have more information for you.

Can you come here now?

Can it wait?

No.

All right. I'm coming over.

You weren't in Portland when Andrew Dixon was assassinated.

You don't know what you need to know.

And you're gonna tell me?

That's why you're here.

We identified Marwan Hanano from a surveillance camera on West Broadway at 3:57 p.m., 17 minutes before he gained access to the building that overlooked the park where the political rally was being held.

Yeah, I've read the reports.

They don't tell you this.

Seven minutes later, he fired the sh*t that k*lled Andrew Dixon.

I located Hanano as he was exiting the building and caused an injury so that he would be taken to the hospital.

I took his cell phone and accessed his SIM card.

We had every contact and every phone number.

With the information from his phone, we would have been able to disrupt Black Claw's operations in Portland... as long as Marwan Hanano was still alive.

And Renard k*lled him.

He was supposed to.

What do you mean?

Renard received a call about Marwan Hanano being in the hospital.

So what?

Marwan had no identification on him.

His hair had been dyed blond.

No one in the hospital could have known who he was.

Only someone who knew Hanano could have made that call.

You think Renard was involved?

If he wasn't, they were using him.

So you're saying he was set up?

Renard is going to run for mayor.

There's been no official announcement.

There will be.

And we better know who he's involved with.

If you're right and I make a move on him and he finds out, he's gonna know we're onto him.

I don't want you to do anything.

Except tell me where he's gonna be.

When?

Soon.

That's it?

For now. Thank you for coming.

Summer? Wake up, come on.

You feel asleep.

Nap time's over.

Wow, uh...

I must have really gone out.

Mm-hmm.

What time is it?

It's a little after 9:00. [chuckles]

You definitely had enough for one session.

Let me show you some of these sh*ts.

Wow.

Wow, these look amazing.

No, you look amazing.

I'll send some to you.

Holy crap. You're a supermodel.

Why can't I be a supermodel?

You really think they're good?

Good? They're great.

He said he's gonna send them to some agents.

What?

Nothing.

No, what?

It just looks like you've got a little wrinkle.

What?

It's nothing serious.

It's just a little wrinkle.

It might have just been a shadow.

It's not a shadow, it's on my face.

Okay, I'm coming right down.

You look like a man with something on his mind.

Yeah, well I saw Eve last night.

How'd that go?

Is the Captain here yet?

No.

Eve thinks that the Captain was set up to k*ll Marwan.

By who?

Black Claw, maybe.

But she thinks the Captain may have been in on it.

Why?

So he could be the hero.

Are you kidding me?

I was in the Captain's office, so was Wu.

The Captain's here.

I need to see you both in my office, please.

I need your opinion on something.

As you know, I was supporting Andrew Dixon for mayor.

I truly believe he would have won.

And Gallagher is not the kind of guy you want in office.

Now I've been asked to take Dixon's place by his campaign organization.

You're talking about running for mayor.

I am. Now, I haven't made up my mind yet.

I just...

I'd like to know what you guys think.

When do you have to make up your mind?

Soon.

This is a little sudden.

If you win, what happens to you here?

Well, I'd have to resign.

Well, whoever replaces you won't know how we handle things.

No, they would not.

You know what you're getting yourself into?

I just know that we can't have Gallagher.

[phone chimes]

Well, if this is what you want, we'll back you.

I appreciate that.

It's Wu.

Got a body.

Eve was right.

Yeah, he's gonna run.

But it doesn't answer the question.

Was he in on the assassination?

Now if Black Claw's behind this, they're gonna want him in a position of power.

Except Captain was with us when we were att*cked at the warehouse.

He could have been k*lled.

Unless he was in on that too.

I think he's getting played.

Or maybe he's just taking advantage of a situation that's coming his way.

Good morning, everyone.

Come on in. Make sure you sign in.

Hi, ladies.

Hi.

Sign in?

Yep, right there.

[indistinct chatter]

The woman who lives here, Aimee Diaz, come home this morning to find a dead body in her living room.

It's an old lady she's never seen before.

Was the apartment unlocked?

Nope.

And no sign of a break-in.

On top of that, her roommate, Summer Blake, is missing.

She tried calling her cell phone, but it is right over there.

Tried calling her parents' house, a few friends, no luck.

The reason that's weird is because her car and purse are still here. Hm.

No visible signs of trauma.

Does the roommate know who this is?

Well, this is where we have the weirder part.

Roommate Aimee says this elderly woman is wearing what roommate Summer was wearing last night.

Right down to the jewelry, ankle bracelet, and ring.

How old is Summer?

24.

So there's no way this is Summer.

Well not in a normal "no way."

But I'm thinking, why would a woman who's in her...

What? 90s? Come here sometime last night to put on Summer's clothes, ring, and ankle bracelet, just to die.

We'll get the prints off the body.

Let's see who it is. Yeah.

Where's the roommate?

Kitchen.

When was the last time you saw your roommate?

Last night, right here.

That her purse?

Yes. Her wallet, her ID, everything is still in it.

Nothing was taken?

I don't think so.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Not right now.

But she did?

That was six months ago.

His name is Matthew Parks, but he moved to Australia.

That's one of the reasons they broke up.

And you weren't here last night?

No, I-I stayed at my boyfriend's house.

His name is?

Collin Jones.

You have any idea who the woman is?

No.

But she must have something to do with Summer disappearing.

She took her clothes and her jewelry, and... she must have k*lled her.

And I don't know... why would she want to k*ll Summer?

None of this makes any sense.

Who's that?

That's Summer.

A photographer just took these yesterday.

I can't believe this has happened.

We were looking at them last night.

She was gonna be a model and... she's so beautiful.

Give us a second, please.

No match in the system for an old lady.

So you got nothing?

No, I got something.

She had a DUI last year.

Not only is she wearing her clothes, she's wearing her fingerprints.

That's Summer Blake?

[dramatic music]

My friend Mary Ann Galvin can't stop talking about this treatment.

And she looks unbelievable.

Well, in a few minutes, you won't be able to stop talking about it, either.

Now, all I have to do is shield your eyes... and turn off the light.

[bubbling]

The ultraviolet light activates the formula.

[chuckles] Is it working?

Well... let's see.

You tell me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

It's a miracle.

I believe it's a hyper-intensive form of Progeria.

If you're telling me this is a 24-year-old woman, that's the only explanation I've got.

Progeria?

That's an aging disease, right?

Actually a genetic disorder which causes the nuclei in a person's cells to become unstable.

The DNA inside degrades more rapidly, and that's what causes the accelerated aging.

Doesn't that usually happen in kids?

Yes. Normally it takes years to become life threatening.

Never happens this fast.

Is there a possibility it's contagious?

I hope not, 'cause this would really freak a lot of people out.

Hmm.

Listen, if I hadn't seen the body myself, I wouldn't have believed it.

I'll get you some of the research.

What are the chances it's Progeria?

I would say none.

Can't do the 19th. I'm sh**ting a wedding that day.

But I can do the 21st or the 23rd.

Yeah, but it's up to you. I got both available.

You sure it wasn't a Spinnetod?

Maybe it couldn't find a victim.

They have to consume their victims' insides in order to stay young.

Even when a Spinnetod can't find a victim, it doesn't age this fast. Pizza's here.

Now here's something.

Looks like a journal from an Egyptian Grimm.

What have you got?

It's in Arabic.

Any translation?

Uh, yeah. Actually yes.

It's called a Musasat Alsh-Shabab.

Sounds like something you want to eat.

"I tracked the Musasat Alsh-Shabab through the streets of Cairo for seven straight nights, always too late to catch it. But never too late to discover the victims it left behind. All of them aged beyond their years. One of them, a young man who was, I think, no more than 16 years old because I had seen him before, had been transformed into a wrinkled, old man within a few hours. I knew I had to catch it in the act to understand how it was able to steal the youth of its victims. On the eighth night, I tracked the Musasat Alsh-Shabab to a small back alley. I watched with utter fascination as it woged, And it's..." what? "Mandibles."

"Pierced a woman's face as she lay limp in it's arms. It appeared to suck something from its victim as the cheeks grew ever larger. When it finished with the young woman, it disgorged the Yanbue."

So we don't know what the Musasat Alsh-Shabab does with the...

Yanbue.

Right.

That it sucks out of people. Right. Here's more.

"And when it melts into the skin, age disappears, but it becomes highly addictive, shattering lives, and making monsters of those who use it." Oh.

Well, there's a happy ending. Not done.

Sorry.

"Knowing how difficult it would be to k*ll, I lay in wait for him in his room. After I cut off its head, I discovered a small fortune hidden in the walls, but I realized, only too late, that he was only the supplier of the Yanbue. But now that he was dead, I would never know who he was selling it to."

At least we know we're dealing with a big, ugly bug-like dude.

Well the Grimm in the book said he was following the Musasat Alsh-Shabab for eight nights.

That means there were a lot of victims.

Then there's probably a lot more victims than the one we know about.

Now go ahead, guess how old I am.

Uh.

How old do I look?

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, good, you're here. Did you bring more?

I'm all out.

I told you not to use that stuff!

I need more.

Who is she?

Did you bring it?

Yeah, I did.

Give it to me.

What is she doing here?

Nothing. I was just leaving.

Give it to me!

Hey! Get the hell away from her.

[both grunting]

No! No!

My cream!

He's the Musasat Alsh-Shabab!

[roaring]

[both grunting]

I'll find a new jar.

[all grunting, growling]

Don't move.

Ah!

[groans]

[labored breathing]

What am I gonna do now? It's broken.

And it's your fault.

You never answered my question.

What?

How old do I look?

[chuckles] I'm 69 years young.

Andrew believed that Portland deserved a mayor that was willing to fight for its people.

Now, I've been asked to take Andrew's place.

And after long consideration, I've realized that the only way to support Andrew's vision of the city is to take his place.

And, so, today, I'm formally announcing my candidacy for Mayor of Portland.

[applause]

Here we go.
