08x08 - Dark

[bunniefuu]

(smooth music)

(upbeat music)

(loud booming)

(gasps)

(loud booming continues)

- Yep, not getting much sleep here either.

Sounds bad out there.

(b*mb whooshing)

- Wait, that doesn't sound like-

(loud expl*si*n)

Get down!

(fire crackling)

(crow cawing)

(rubble crumbles)
(whimpering)

(loud crash)

(low rumbling)

(heartbeat)

- No need to worry, miss.

You and your friend are
going to be just fine.

- She lost consciousness
and she's... leaking.

- Set her down, set her down.

(tired sigh)

- Can you help her?

(electronic beeping)

- Even based on what you've told me,

I hardly know what she is.

(clears throat)

But her basic anatomy
seems similar enough.

I can at least stitch up that wound.

(thunder rumbling)

(electronic buzz)

- Oh, that's just rich.

- [May] Everyone okay back there?

Just saw another bombing
run light up the kingdom.

(dramatic music begins)

- Looks like part of the city lost power.

We're okay though.

- [May] Sorry, I couldn't stick around,

but time's running out for
everyone in the crater.

- [Ruby] No, we're sorry.

Once we know what's wrong with
Penny, we'll... we'll do something.

- Don't b*at yourself up kid.

(dramatic music builds)

- [May] At this point,

I don't know how much is left to be done.

(phone hangs up)

- It's all just too much.

The Grimm, the crater, Nora, Penny.

How do we fix all of it?

(Klein sneezes)

- One step at a time, my dear.

(Klein sneezes again)

(Klein clears throat)

You can't worry about fixing everything.

Simply focus on what's in front of you.

If you'd like some place to start,

I'd be able to work faster

If you could bring the power back on.

- Well how would we-

- We have a generator near
the edge of the estate.

- So kind of you to join us, mother.

- Believe it or not,

I am above drinking in the dark.

Oh,

hello, Klein.

- SDC Executives have their
own auxiliary power supplies

in case of a city-wide blackout.

It's extremely unfair,

but perhaps now isn't such a
bad time for company perks.

- We don't just have perks.

- [Weiss] Hm?

- We have the company.

The people you mentioned in the crater,

they need a way out, right?

There are rows and rows of cargo ships

just sitting in the hangers
because of the embargo.

- And our own automated drones.

Like the ones at Snowshoe Shipping.

- We can order as many as
we need to pilot our ships

down to the crater and
get people to safety.

While the Grimm are occupied
with the general's forces

- We can?

- I can.

I just need Father's computer.

- Then we definitely need
to get the power back on.

(ominous music begins)

(quiet footsteps)

(ominous music builds)

(gate squeaks)

(computer static starts up)

- [Ruby] Oh, come on, come on.

- Don't worry.

It'll work.

- Nothing else has.

(orchestral music begins)

- I know you don't always know what to do,

but that's never stopped
you from doing something.

I was like that as a girl,

but time and a lot of other things

took their toll on me.

And then I wasn't sure
if that kind of girl

could actually survive in the world,

until I met you.

It was a little strange at first

because you were younger

but I've always looked up to you, Ruby

and I still do.

(orchestral music continues)

- Thanks, Blake.

(computer beeps)

(candles sequentially flicker on)

(keyboard clicks)

(ominous music builds)

- [Ruby] What?

(loud boom)

- What was that?

(distant roaring)

- Ruby!

Blake!

- [Ruby] Weiss! There's a Grimm that-

Look out!

(ominous music continues)

- Can you handle this?

- Assuming you can handle that.

- Ugh.

We still need to work on your attitude.

(Ruby groans)

(menacing music)

(roars)

(Blake grunts)

(Grimm growls)

- What is this thing?

- It's just a Grimm.

Just focus.

(sinister music)

(Blake grunts)

(loud thud)
(Blake yells)

- Take the girl.

(Ruby gasps)

- Ruby!

(wings flap loudly)

(Blake cries out)

(dramatic music builds)

- Klein!

There's a Grimm here

and others might be nearby.

Keep everyone together and
call if there's trouble.

- [Klein] Of course.

(Willow cries out)
(glass shattering)

(Willow whimpering)

- Madame,

please try to calm yourself.

(sinister sound builds)

- [Willow] I can't do this.

I can't do this!

- Willow, please come back!

Goodness, try not to-

(Klein grunts)
(chair clatters)

- No, not again!

(dramatic music builds)

(Weiss cries out)

(dramatic music continues)

- No!

(dramatic music continues to build)

(Grimm growling)
(wings flapping)

- It's not here for me,

it's here for Penny!

(Ruby screams)

- Ruby!

(Ruby grunts)

Help the others, I've got her.

(sinister music)

(deep growling)

(loud roar)

(quiet grumbling)

- You're okay.

Please!

- I don't want to do it.

- Hey...

(electronic buzzing)

No one's going to make you do
anything you don't want to do.

- But there is a part of me...

It's making me...

- It's just a part of you.

(whooshing)

Don't forget about the rest.

(electronic clicking)

(soft music begins)

- [Weiss] Klein, it's coming inside.

Stay quiet.

I'm on my way.

- Do hurry.

Whitley and Willow have yet to return.

- [Weiss] What?

Where'd Mom go?

(Willow panting)

(ominous music builds)

(loud thud)

- Oh!

(sinister music)
(growling)

(ominous music continues)

(growling continues)

(doors opening)

(quiet footsteps)

(electronic beep)
- [Willow] Above you!

(Grimm roars)

(slimy footsteps)

(Grimm growls)

(ominous music continues)

(electronic beep)
- [Weiss] Mom?

- I...

I can see it.

It's outside Winter's old room.

I- You can k*ll it?

Can't you?

- [Weiss] What is it doing?

(Grimm snuffling)

- I'm not sure.

It's acting strange.

Why is it here?

- It doesn't matter.

Just keep an eye on it
so I can track it down.

- Right.

Right.

Okay.

It's moving again.

Heading towards...

Oh dear, no.

(ominous music continues)

- I can do this.
(keyboard clicking)

- [Willow] Whitley.

- You are the last thing I need.

(door creaking)

All that's left should be...

(Whitley growling)

(sinister music crescendos)
(Grimm growls)

(spooky music)

(Grimm growling)

(Grimm sniffing)

(Grimm growling)

(spooky music builds)

- [Electronic Voice] Credentials verified.

Click to proceed.

(Grimm growling)

- [Grimm] I know

you're here.

(loud screeching)

- Run!

(threatening music begins)
(Grimm roars)

- [Electronic Voice] Thank you.

(Willow panting)

(Grimm roars)

(Willow and Whitley panting)

(loud crash)

(Grimm roaring)

(ice clattering)

(Grimm snuffling)

(Weiss panting)

- I didn't forget you.

(ice shattering)

Go!

(Weiss yells out)

(swords clattering)

- Why did it get more disgusting?

(wet sloshing)

(Blake cries out)

I don't know if you can hear me,

but I need you Ruby.

We all need you.

(Grimm roaring)

(Blake cries out)

(metal clanking)

(Grimm roars)

Ahhh!

(Blake panting)

Please,

get up.

(Blake groans)

(metal slicing)

(Grimm groans)

- I could hear you.

(Blake sighs)

(distant screaming)

(ominous music)

(Grimm grunting)

- It's coming!

- I'm sorry!

(electronic buzzing)

(loud thud)
(footsteps)

(ominous music continues)

(Willow panting)

- What are you doing?

- I must open the vault,

and then self terminate.

(Grimm roars)

(music intensifies)

- [Grimm] Take

the

girl.

- [Ruby] Penny!

- That's enough.

(menacing music fades)

(Grimm roars)
(window shattering)

(dull thuds)

(instrumental piano music)

(ominous music begins)

(Grimm growls)

(ominous music builds)

- Take

the girl.

Take

the girl.

Take

the

girl.

Take

the

girl!

Take

the

girl!

Take

the

girl!

(loud roaring)

(rubble falling)

(choir singing)

- [Weiss] What was that?

(choir continues singing)

- That was

a person.

(choir continues singing)

(choir fades out)

(fire crackling)

- You know, this may be the first time

I've ever been happy to see you.

(man coughing)

- Cinder.

(fire crackling)

What are you-

- It's my turn to ask for something.

(Cinder grunts)

(clicking footsteps)

- It's her!

- [Cinder] Huh.

(fire whooshing)
