Opening Quote: "Out they scampered from doors, windows, and gutters, rats of every size, all after the piper." – The Pied Piper of Hamelin


Scene: Under a bridge. Two rats ears away at a dead pigeon.

Scene: Underground rave. A bunch of people are dancing with glowsticks and LED Gloves. The music stops.

People: RETCHID KAT! RETCHID KAT! RETCHID KAT! [above, there is an office space, a man--Sammy--is looking down at the crowd].
Sammy: They love you. Kill 'em.
[A boy is looking at him half unsure before he opens a black box and takes out a big pink cat head. He walks away as he puts it on. The crowd is still calling his name. They all cheer when he appears. He receives them and starts playing music which makes people start dancing. Then, amongst the crowd, there are two girls that are texting. One of them texts 'omg. DJ Retched Kat! Killing it!!! Wish u were here.]


Scene: A phone goes off with the message the girl at the rave sent. There's classical music playing. A group of kids are practicing Danse Macabre. They are doing fine until one of them messes up.

Music Teacher: No, no, no, no. Mr. Brimley, it is a violin, not a saw. We only have till Saturday to get this right. We can stay here all night if we have to. [he walks back to his seat].
Trey Harrison: Carter, dude, get it right.
Music Teacher: Again from the 14th.


Scene: Underground rave. The people are still going at it with RETCHID KAT still DJing.

[it cuts to the music teacher leaving the school].
[it cuts back to the rave].
[The teacher is still walking, it looks like he is all alone].
[People at the rave seem to be enjoying themselves as they jump around to the music].
[The music teacher leaves the school and goes to his car. He hears a sound which slows him down for a second before he reassumes his walk].
[The people at the rave are not stopping. It's crazy].
[The teacher gets in his car and sets his brief down. He starts the car and turns on the radio which starts playing classical music, he puts his seatbelt on. But he suddenly feels something by his feet and sees a rat. Then he looks on his review mirror to see that a bunch of rats are entering his car from the trunk].
Teacher: Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! [the rats start attacking by biting him which is scaring the teacher].
[The rave is still going on which is a contrast to what is happening].
[In the car, the teacher tries to get out but he locks the door while he tries to rid himself of the rats].
[Shifts to the rave].
[In the car, the teacher is screaming].
[While the teacher still screams in fear, the rave is still going at full and there's a tone of irony as the song is has the line 'the terror'].


Scene: At the school, a car arrives. A women gets out and at first she doesn't notice the music teacher's car but when she does, she approaches it. She screams when she sees the teacher. He is dead, and the rats have eaten him away throughout the night.

Scene: Juliette is in the kitchen cutting fruit to make smoothies. Nick come in.

Nick: Ooh, smoothies. [he goes behind her and wraps his arms around her].
Juliette: I need some ice. [he starts kissing her ear and she laughs] It's in the freezer.
Nick: I'm just warming up first. It's going to be cold over there. [he goes to the freezer].
Juliette: You should've started this earlier.
Nick: I think we have a problem.
Juliette: All right, we can go upstairs.
Nick: [carrying the ice tray] With the ice. [he dumps the ice tray in the sick because it's all melted] there isn't any.
Juliette: [going to the fridge] Oh, no. [she touches the food] It's warm. Everything is going to spoil.
Nick: How much of this do you think we can fit in the blender? [his phone goes off] Yeah, Burkhardt. [Juliette starts taking the milk and other stuff from the fridge] Where?


Scene: Nick and Hank arrive at the school. There are a lot of people behind the yellow tape. They approach Sergeant Wu.

Wu: Detective Burkhardt and Griffin, this is Assistant Principal Grace Kaplan. She found the body about an hour ago. Says it's Paul Lawson, a music teacher here.
A. Principal: He was the Director of the Music Program. I just can't believe this has happened. It's so horrible.
Nick: Well, do you want to tell us what happened?
A. Principal: I saw the car when I came in this morning. It's a little unusual for anyone to be here before me, that's why I walked over the car. [emotional] I'm sorry.
Nick: It's okay.
Wu: [they start to walk away toward the car] Looks to me like it happened sometime last night. He's been dead for a few hours. Car's locked. We kept it that way. Got some evidence inside, didn't want it to get away.
Nick: [they all look at the body] Dead by rat?
Wu: Looks like.
Hank: Oh, God. Rats. I can't stand them.
Nick: Coroner here?
Wu: Yeah, waiting for you. So is animal control. Nobody wants to open the door until you guys give the okay.
Hank: Fingerprints done?
Wu: Yeah, we're good to go.
Nick: Open it up.
Wu: Let's go.
[A man goes to open the door. He practically breaks in. He opens the door and all the rats start to spill out. There is some screaming as a person from animal control catches some of the rats].
Hank: Ooh.
Wu: We also found some cages in the bushes you should look at.
[Wu walks them toward the bushes and shows them the cages they found].
Hank: Whoever chucked these didn't make much of an effort to hide them.
Nick: Geiger Pest Control. Do we know them?
Wu: They're in Northeast Portland, by the river. According to the Assistant Principal, Lawson was here last night rehearsing for a school performance supposed to happen on Saturday. Glad I'm not a ticker holder.
Hank: Anyone see him leave?
Wu: Still checking. But we got names of the four students he was rehearsing.


Scene: Hank and Nick arrive at a very fancy, gated, house with a bunch of nice cars parked.

Hank: Nice house.
Nick: Nice cars.
Hank: And bad things still happen.


Scene: Inside the house, two kids are holding hands--Sarah Jessup and Carter Brimley. The other two--Marvin and Trey Harrison--sit nearby, and an older woman--Mrs. Jessup--is there to as Nick and Hank ask questions.

Nick: What time did practice end?
Sarah: A little after 10:00.
Hank: Did Lawson leave with you?
Carter: No. He always stays to close up.
Nick: Did anybody see him leave the building? [they shake their heads 'no'].
Hank: Did any of you see anything strange when you left? Anything unusual? Maybe a car you hadn't seen before? Somebody standing around?
Marvin: We just went to our cars and left.
Sarah: It was late so we had to get home.
Trey: We still had homework.
Nick: Did Doctor Lawson seem a little nervous last night? Maybe a little upset?
Sarah: Yes, but that was, um--that was just Doctor Lawson.
Hank: We found some cages in the bush near the parking lot. Did you see anybody near there when you left for your cars? [Sarah shakes her head].
Cater: What kind of cages?
Hank: Used for trapping rodents.
Carter: [shakes his head] No.
Nick: [he and Hank begin to leave] Well, if you can think of anything else...[he hands a card to Mr. Jessup].
Carter: Roddy Geiger went to our school.
Hank: Who?
Carter: His dad's an exterminator.
Nick: [he looks at Hank] Geiger Pest Control?
Sarah: [she let's go of Carter's hand] Roddy wouldn't do this.
Hank: Geiger's son goes to your school.
Trey: He did.
Marvin: He was suspended a couple of days ago.
Nick: Why?
Mrs. Jessup: If this about that situation, maybe you'd better speak to the school. That's a very troubled boy. I don't think it's appropriate to talk to the kids about him.
[Nick looks at her weird before he and Hank leave].


Scene: Nick and Hank arrive at the Geiger's while music plays. It the same song the four kids were rehearsing. Their home is a harsh contrast to the fancy and higher life of living of the other kids.

Nick: [sarcastically] Nice house.
Hank: Yeah. Nice car.
[As they walk toward the trailer home, they stop when they notice the music is not coming from inside, they turn around].
Nick: [impressed] Nice music.
Hank: It's coming from over there.
[They walk closer. Roddy Geiger is playing the violin amongst a bunch of rats in their cages. The rats seem captivated to the music while Roddy performs with his eyes closed. He sounds better than the other four kids together].
Nick: Captivated audience. [One of the rats turn to Nick and Hank which Roddy notices which causes him to stop. He turns to see Nick and Hank]. Roddy Geiger?
Roddy: Yeah.
Nick: [they get closer] I'm Detective Burkhardt, and this is Detective Griffin.
Hank: Pretty good on that violin.
Roddy: What do you want?
Hank: Wanna ask you a few questions. [from behind them, Roddy's dad appears].
Mr. Geiger: You cops?
Hank: Yeah, we've been called worse.
Mr. Geiger: [annoyed] What do you want here?
Nick: Are you Mr. Geiger?
Mr. Geiger: You're here about that teacher dying, aren't you? I heard all about it. Well, we had nothing to do with it.
Hank: Take it easy, sir. We just want to ask a few questions.
Roddy: Who died?
Nick: Dr. Lawson was found dead in his car this morning.
Roddy: [surprised] What?
Mr. Geiger: You don't talk to them until I find out what they're gonna do. [getting more annoyed than before] What are you gonna do, arrest us? You gonna arrest me? You gonna arrest my boy?
Nick: Sir, you need to calm down.
Mr. Geiger: Don't tell me to calm down. I know what's going on here. [Roddy looks like he is about to run] They are trying to blame us for what happened up there, and I'm tired of them treating us like garbage.
[Roddy tries to run but Hank stops him].
Hank: Stop. Don't move. [Roddy is resisting].
Mr. Geiger: Take your hands off of him. [he morphs into a rat looking-creature] Leave him alone. Leave him alone!
[Mr. Geiger goes to hit Hank, but Nick grabs him and makes him fall to his knees and Hank helps him arrest him as Roddy runs for it].
Hank: Stop resisting! You're only making it worse. I got him.
[Nick runs after Roddy. Nick is quick to catch up to him and as soon as he does, he pushes him to the ground to stop him. They get up quickly and Roddy stands to fight].
Nick: I don't want to hurt you.
Roddy: Yeah, you do. You're a Grimm. You wanna kill me. [he starts to get angry and morphs into a rat like his father and tries to attack Nick, but he just punches him in the face with literally makes Roddy fall to the ground scared].
Nick: I'm not gonna kill you. But you keep this up... you're gonna get hurt.


Scene: At the precinct, Hank is interrogating Mr. Geiger who is handcuffed.

Hank: Assaulting a police office, resisting arrest hasn't made this any better. Now you might think about a little cooperation. Where were you last night?
Mr. Geiger: Up in the mountains.
Hank: A lot of mountains around here.
Mr. Geiger: Off Highway 26, past Sandy.
Hank: What were you doing?
Mr. Geiger: I catch rats for a living. I don't kill them if I don't have to. I turn the healthy ones loose.
Hank: Can anyone testify to that?
Mr. Geiger: No.
Hank: Where was your son last night?
Mr. Geiger: Home.
Hank: Anybody with him?
Mr. Geiger: No.
Hank: [Renard is watching through the glass] You can kind of see the problem we're faced with here, can't you?
Mr. Geiger: [getting exasperated] We had nothing to do with that teacher dying.
Hank: Your son was suspended for fighting. Didn't that make you mad? [he sit across him] If it were me, I think I'd be mad.
Mr. Geiger: Oh, don't try to understand me.
Hank: How do you explain the cages being up at the school?
Mr. Geiger: They were stolen two nights ago! [Renard is still behind the glass just looking].
Hank: You report it?
Mr. Geiger: Yeah, sure. How many cops do you think they put on stolen rat cages? Those kids at that school know what I do for a living, and they never let Roddy forget it. You know, my boy's a prodigy. Better than anyone at that school. Better than anyone in this city. But that didn't matter because of what I do.
Hank: [getting up from his chair] What kind of relationship did Roddy have with the teacher?
Mr. Geiger: Roddy didn't need him.
Hank: He let Dr. Lawson know it?
Mr. Geiger: He couldn't hide the obvious.
Hank: Maybe Roddy snapped last night.
[As Hank walks into the wall as he questions Mr. Geiger, it shifts to Nick interrogating Roddy].


Scene: Nick interrogates Roddy. They are both standing up while Roddy is pacing back and forth.

Nick: What was the fight at school about?
Roddy: They don't like me. I don't like them.
Nick: Yeah, well, you don't hide it very well.
Roddy: [sarcastically] Don't I? Really? That's so sad.
[Nick look unamused and he takes a seat].
Nick: Look, I get it. You're the outsider. No one understands the world like you do. Maybe you shouldn't expect them to.
Roddy: I certainly don't expect a Grimm to.
Nick: Do you know many Grimms?
Roddy: I don't need to.
Nick: Okay, so you know all about me, because you heard a bunch of stories about me, you know everything you need to know. So, if I asked these kids at school, they'd tell me everything I need to know, and it all be true?
Roddy: Just because they don't know me, that doesn't mean that you do.
Nick: According to school records, Dr. Lawson reported you for attacking Carter Brimley and Trey Harrison.
Roddy: Yeah, I attacked them after they jumped me.
Nick: According to Marvin--
Roddy: Marvin? [amused] That little butter-boy? 'Cause he wouldn't lie.
Nick: Maybe this didn't turn out the way you planned. Maybe you were just trying to scare your teacher.
Roddy: I wasn't there last night.
Nick: Where were you?
Roddy: I was at a rave.
Nick: Where?
Roddy: Down by the river.
Nick: Be more specific.
Roddy: It's an old building on front street.
Nick: Anybody there with you?
Roddy: Only 'bout a couple hundred.
Nick: Could any of them identify you?
Roddy: One.
Nick: Got a name?
Roddy: So you can arrest him for putting on an illegal rave?
Nick: [exasperated] Yeah. That's my dream. Look you either prove to me where you were last night, or you go to jail.


Scene: Hank is at his and Nick's desk when Wu arrives and looks at them before crossing his arms.

Wu: You're never gonna believe this. I talked to Sammy, the guy who put on the rave. [Nick arrives and takes a seat on his chair]. Your perp is DJ RETCHID KAT.
Hank: Who's DJ RETCHID KAT?
Wu: [turns to Nick] Tell you know?
Nick: Of course I know. Everybody knows. [unsure] Who's DJ RETCHID KAT?
Wu: Only the most famous raver in Portland. Not that men of your age would know what I'm talking about.
Hank: You didn't know either.
Wu: Not until I talked to Sammy. DJ RETCHID KAT always wears a big cat head, and Sammy is the only one who knows who he is, and he swears it is your guy.
Nick: So his alibi's good.
Hank: But not his dad's.
Nick: Expect why would he leave his cages at the school?
Hank: Not so clever. Unless he wanted us to believe somebody stole them.
Wu: Then it's clever.
Nick: Let Roddy go, hold onto the dad?
Hank: Absolutely. Not to mention he assaulted an officer. He deserves a little downtime for that alone.
[Nick finds it amusing before he stands up and leaves].


Scene: Nick goes back to the interrogation room where Roddy is still waiting and still standing.

Nick: You're free to go.
Roddy: What about my dad?
Nick: Not until we can verify his alibi.
Roddy: [angry] You know he can't do that.
[He walks away angry and as he goes he bumps his shoulder roughly against Nick's just as Hank walks in avoiding hitting Roddy on his way out. They look at him go. Roddy is so angry he hits a paper holder to the floor as he leaves the precinct].
Hank: Pretty excited about being let go.
Nick: Oh yeah. I had to stop him from yodeling.
Hank: [he grins before looking at Nick] Harper called. Dead guy wants to see us.


Scene: At the morgue, Harper is showing Dr. Lawson's chewed on remains.

Harper: He died of a heart attack.
Nick: So the rats scared him to death?
Harper: Well, they didn't help. But he was on Digoxin and Angiotensin for his heart. He was kind of high up on death's to-do list.
Hank: So the rats were put in the car to kill him.
Harper: If they knew about his condition. But no guarantee a scare like that would trigger a heart attack.
Hank: Prank gone bad.
Nick: Yeah, or a threat.
Hank: Then it's probably Roddy's dad.
Nick: A homicide occurred in the course of an intentional maiming of a the victim, so it's aggravated murder.
Harper: [appearing next to them with a tray] I did find something interesting in my other autopsy.
Hank: What other autopsy?
[Harper turns on a ring light and uncovers the dissected rats].
Hank: Oh, man. [he turns around] there goes lunch.
Harper: Speaking of... a rat's stomach is like a road map to where they've been. Here we have some undigested bits of your victim, and some colored clothed and nylon fibers that didn't match any of the clothes he was wearing. [She takes the evidence and takes it to some them it a bit closer].
Nick: They were chewing on something else in the car?
Harper: Probably before Dr. Lawson got in.
Nick: [to Hank] take a look at this.
Hank: Oh. Do I have to? [he turns to see the computer showing the evidence]. It's green and red.
Nick: The same colors as the music school.
Hank: Let's find out if it matches anything in Lawson's car.


Scene: Roddy is walking down a residential street as a car passes by him. He keeps walking.

Scene: Captain Sean Renard's office. His computer shows an article about Dr. Lawson.

Renard: 'Rats dine on beloved teacher'.
Nick: That's a little cold.
Hank: Guess who came to dinner.
Renard: What do you got on this? Press wants an statement.
Nick: We have one suspect in custody.
Renard: Has he been charged?
Hank: We have enough evidence, but we're not sure he's our guy.
Nick: We are waiting on some lab results.
Renard: Well, I got a dead popular teacher at an expensive private school. I'd like an answer before politics screw things up.


Scene: Behind a bush, someone sees a red car arrive. It's the same car from the driveway from the fancy house. It's Roddy who's hiding. He watches the car as it parks and he morphs. Sarah gets out of the car and with her back to Roddy, she gets scared when he touches her shoulder. She turns around.

Sarah: What are you doing here?
Roddy: The cops just arrested my dad.
Sarah: What?
Roddy: Whoever did this wanted them to think it was him. Or me.
Sarah: That's what everybody thinks.
Roddy: [hurt] You think it was me.
Sarah: You were the one who got suspended.
Roddy: That was bogus. I thought you knew that. Why didn't you say anything?
Sarah: They're my friends.
Roddy: And I'm what?
Sarah: Someone I used to care about.
Roddy: Used to? [he steps closer to her].
Sarah: Roddy--
Roddy: So now you're with Carter? [he grabs her cheeks and Sarah initially intends to move away but she and Roddy kiss. She ends up pulling back and looks at him sadly].
Sarah: I can't do this.
Roddy: You still love me.
Sarah: I can't keep sneaking out to be with you. [she pushes him away and he back away without struggle but looks a little hurt] And if you didn't put the rats in his car, them who did?
Roddy: Your boyfriend.
Sarah: He would not do that.
Roddy: Yeah, he would. To get to you and get rid of me.
[They are interrupted by Sarah's mom].
Mrs. Jessup: What are you doing here? I thought this was over and done with. Your father will go ballistic. Please go get in the house. [Roddy leaves without another word as Sarah quickly goes into her house while her mother follows her. She begins to yell at Roddy] Stay away from my daughter. Stay away from my family.
[As Roddy leaves, a car pulls up. It's Carter],
Carter: What are you doing here, Rat-Boy? [Roddy gets annoyed and goes to hurt Carter but he shows him his phone. He has 911 on speed dial] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. [Roddy backs away] Come on. Do it. I wonder what the police will say when they get here.
Roddy: You're gonna pay.
Carter: [he rolls up his window] Some of us can afford to.
[Roddy begins to walk away not before hitting the window scaring Carter. Roddy leaves].


Scene: Renard's office. He closes the door as he begins the statement with the press.

Renard: The investigation is ongoing. [he walks toward his desk and chair] Because of the unusual nature of the death, we are taking extra measures to make sure tha nothing has been overlooked. [he sits] Dr. Lawson was an important member of our community, and, uh, an inspiration to a lot of young people. His untimely death has caused a great deal of distress, and I promise that every effort will be made to bring the person or persons responsible to justice. I'll take your questions now.
[They all begin talking over other].


Scene: Outside Renard's office, Nick is on his desk as Hank walks to his with a report in hand.

Hank: Preliminary lab reports just came in on the fibers found in the rat's stomach. Some of them were nylon, the kind found in car carpeting. BMW, Audi, Porsche. [he takes a seat] You know, the kind of vehicles we don't drive.
Nick: And neither do the Geigers.
Hank: The colored fibers are from blankets.
[Wu comes up to them].
Wu: There is a Mrs. Jessup here demanding to see you. She's got, uh--how can I say this? Smoke coming out of a lot of orifices. [he signals her to come over before turning back to Hank and Nick] Good luck. [he leaves].
Mrs. Jessup: Why hasn't Roddy Geiger been arrested? He came to my house and he harassed my daughter. This boy is out of control. He got himself thrown out of school for fighting--
Hank: We can't arrest Roddy Geiger or anybody without evidence.
Mrs. Jessup: Well, get some before somebody else dies. I do not want him coming to my house.
Nick: Why is he coming to your house?
Mrs. Jessup: My daughter went out with him a couple of times. Now he thinks he owns her. If my husband sees him again, I'm afraid of what he'll do. That boy does not belong in our school.
Hank: Or in your neighborhood?
Mrs. Jessup: [looks at Hank annoyed] Shouldn't you be writing this down? [Hank looks at her] I am filing a report, aren't I?
[Hank looks annoyed before he grabs his notepad and pen while Nick looks amused and annoyed at the same time at the whole situation].


Scene: Nick and Hank are leaving the precinct.

Hank: I haven't had that much fun since that drunk threw up on me at the Christmas party.
Nick: Wasn't that Sergeant Wu?
Hank: It was, and I'm meeting him at Clark Lewis for a drink. You wanna go? [Nick doesn't answer] Don't answer. You got Juliette, you're in love, you got a life. Go live it, my child. Leave alcohol to those of us who are still searching.


Scene: At Monroe's place. Monroe sets two beers on a small wooden tall block of a table.

Monroe: Reinigen? They're at the bottom of the food chain, man. Let me tell ya, the food in their chain? The food in their chain? Gourmet is not their forte. [He opens a bottle and hands to Nick].
Nick: But they are rarely violent unless they're pushed to the limit, right?
Monroe: Correct. [he goes to grab a thing of pretzels] If you know all that, what are you doing here?
Nick: How would you feel about talking to a--
Monroe: Reinigen? [he is unsure for a moment] I'm not protecting anyone for you, am I? Last time I protected someone for you was not exactly a pleasant experience. How is that guy, by the way? Were they able to sew his arm back on?
Nick: I don't think he's going to be beating up anyone up with it again. [there is a short pause] Look, you like music, right? I mean, you play.
Monroe: I don't do parties.
Nick: This kid, he is pretty incredible.
Monroe: At what?
Nick: Violin. He got a scholarship to the Von Hamelin Institute.
Monroe: Is this about that teacher who wound up as Ratatouille?
Nick: Okay, some people think he was involved, I don't. This kid is a stick of dynamite. He knows I'm a Grimm.
Monroe: And a cop.
Nick: So he's not exactly open to--
Monroe: Yeah, yeah. A heart to heart, I got the picture. You think he'll listen to me 'cause I play the Cello? [Nick shrugs his shoulders] Just so you know, Reinigen and Blutbaden are not drinking buddies. [he takes a sip of his beer] I've never been much of a do-gooder, Nick. The only bleeding heart I ever had was a--[he begins to laugh before cutting himself off] I mean, that's in the past. I'm just saying.
Nick: Look, I was different growing up, I have a feeling you were too. Monroe, this kid just needs a little bit of help.
Monroe: He is not a rapper, is he? I mean, nothing against rappers, it's just, you know...where's the melody?


Scene: Nick arrives at his house.

Man: [from the kitchen] Ugh, damn it. [Nick is confused] Ugh! I can't get this damn screw loose.
[He enters the kitchen to see a man trying to fix the refrigerator while Juliette is near trying not to laugh because the man's but crack shows a bit].
Nick: How long has this been going on?
Juliette: [smiling as she covers the view of the man's crack] Oh, since 4:30.
Repair man: I'm sorry. I'm going as fast as I can.
Nick: Will you be done tonight?
Repair man: What, do you think I'm gonna sleep here? Aw, crap! I cut my hand.
Juliette: Ooh, I'll get a bandage. [she leaves].
Repair man: I hate this model. It's a deathtrap. [he turns] Look, it's trying to kill me.
[He shows his hand to Nick but as soon as his eyes are on him, he turns into a beaver-looking creature. Nick is mildly curious and surprised but the man gets up looking scared].
Repair man: Please, please, don't, don't hurt me. Oh, God. Please! [he practically runs out of the house just as Juliette is coming back. She looks confused].
Juliette: [to Nick] What happened? What did you do?
Nick: Nothing.
Juliette: He just ran out? It looked like he was terrified of you.
Nick: [closing the fridge door] Yeah, I know.
Juliette: [expectantly] Well, that's really weird, isn't it, Nick?
Nick: Maybe it was the refrigerator. You know, he said it was trying to kill him.
Juliette: [chuckles a bit] Well, now what do we do?
Nick: Go out.


Scene: At a restaurant, Hank and Wu are having drinks at the bar.

Hank: I'm telling you, he's got an instinct for people. Most of the time, he's right.
Wu: Well, it's too bad Nick wasn't your partner when you met your last wife.
Hank: [almost offended] That's cool.
Wu: You gotta learn to say no to temptation. Hey, how 'bout some dinner?
Hank: [he looks like he wants to smile] I'm tempted, but no. I've got a big day tomorrow. I've got to the some sleep.
Wu: [after a pause] So you're paying, right?
[Hank practically rolls his eyes as he takes out some money and sets it on the counter. Wu laughs].
Hank: I'll see you tomorrow. [he leaves].
Wu: [chuckling to himself as he grabs his drink] Hey, Bill.
Bill: Yeah?
Wu: Lonely Sergeant need a steak over here.
[Still at the restaurant, Hank is leaving, but he sees Adalind Schade on the phone].
Adalind: Yeah, next week will be fine. Okay. [she hangs up and turns around to see Hank].
Hank: Hey. Miss Schade, right?
Adalind: [she smiles] Detective...
Hank: Griffin.
Adalind: [with a brighter smile as she remembers his name] Hank.
Hank: That's right.
Adalind: Sorry, I should've remembered that. You saved my life. [Hank puts his hand over his heart with a gesture of 'my pleasure'] So, how have you been?
Hank: Busy, How've you been?
Adalind: Busy. Which is good right now.
Hank: [an almost awkward pause] Well, you take care.
Adalind: You too.
[They start to go their respective ways but Adalind turns around].
Adalind: Hey, Hank? [he looks at her] I don't suppose you'd want to save me again.
Hank: [he walks closer to her with a curious look] From what?
Adalind: My business meeting canceled, and I've got this great table, an empty chair. Maybe it's time for a little payback. Can I buy you dinner?
[Hank hesitates for a second as he looks at Wu at the bar eating alone. He turns back to Adalind].
Hank: Yeah, sure. Sounds great.
[Adalind smiles and they turn to walk toward their table. From outside the restaurant, watching from his car, Renard is there for a minute looking at Hank and Adalind before he drives away].


Scene: At the Geiger's, Roddy is playing the violin in his trailer. There's a photo of him with Sarah, Trey, and Marvin. They all smile aside from Roddy. Around the photo are some trophies. There is one rat with Roddy as he practices. He is concentrated.

[Outside of his home, Monroe arrives and is impressed with what he is hearing. Roddy is interrupted by Monroe's knocking. He sets down his violin and the rat hides. He opens the door].
Monroe: You were kicking some butt on that Brahms Concerto, man. It was brilliantly executed. Very fluid.
Roddy: [confused] Who are you?
Monroe: Monroe. We don't know each other. I'm a friend of Detective Burkhardt's.
[There is a small pause before Roddy tries to shut the door].
Roddy: No thanks.
Monroe: [he stops him with his hand. Roddy turns to see how it morphs into that of a Blutbad] Ah! [he opens the door all they way and Roddy back away] I wasn't finished. Now, I don't normally do this kind of thing, but we both know who Nick is. And he is not like the other ones we've heard about. Capiche? Believe it or not, he's worried about you. And he knew you wouldn't talk to him, so he thought maybe you would talk to me.
Roddy: [sitting down on his sofa] About what?
Monroe: About not being stupid. He said you had talent, man, and it's true. I just heard it. And I've been around a lot of people who thought they had talent. Yours truly is one of them. But the real thing, man. The real thing is an impossibility. You don't know where it comes from, or what made it, but it's one of the mysteries of life that lifts us all out of the misery of average. And one of the problems is you people who have it, don't think it's any big deal. That just pisses me off. So the bottom like is you don't throw that away. [there is a long pause. Monroe sits across Roddy who hasn't said a word. Monroe looks a bit confused] Is this going well? I mean, I feel like it should be a little more back and forth, no?
Roddy: I don't know.
Monroe: Yeah, you do. Just 'cause you're young, doesn't mean you're smarter than me. [another pause] Okay? So...[he stands] Basically what we're saying here is, uh, just don't blow it. Man, I'm tired. [He walks toward Roddy and sits next to him] I'm not used to this intimate one-on-one thing, you know? I know you're probably kind of weirded out, a Reinigen getting advice from a Blutbad. It doesn't ever really happen, but listen to me. Sometimes our lives collide in the most bizarre ways. Right? [Roddy just looks at him with a small pensive look] Still nothing? Okay. [he slaps Roddy's shoulder in a friendly manner as he stands to leave] Well, you know what I'm saying, right? Take care. [Roddy stands to see him out] And if you ever need anything...[he pulls one of his business cards and hands it to him. Roddy grabs it] Call me. Alright. [he leaves and closes the door behind him].
[Roddy leaves and looks at the card. The house phone starts to ring. He answers it].
Roddy: Hello?
Officer Clay: This is officer Clay from Central Jail. Is this Roddy Geiger?
Roddy: Yeah.
Officer Clay: I have to inform you, your father was injured when he refused to enter his cell.
Roddy: Is he okay?
Officer Clay: He's being treated in the infirmary. He's got a concussion. No visitors for 48 hours.
[he hangs up the phone angrily].


Scene: Juliette and Nick arrive home with their dinner.

Juliette: Maybe you arrested him once.
Nick: Who?
Juliette: The refrigerator repairman. Maybe that's why he was so upset.
Nick: [playing along as he sets the food on the kitchen counter] Right. Yeah. I didn't even think of that. [His phone goes off] Burkhardt.
Monroe: Hey, so I talked to Roddy. The Reinigen kid? [from his car with the earpiece] And I don't want to toot my own horn here, but I think I made some inroads, gave him a lot to think about.
Nick: [happy] Well, thanks. I appreciate it.
Monroe: No problem at all. I think that kid's gonna be on a little different tack now.


Scene: Roddy is angry as he trashes his room. He is so angry that when he sees the picture frame with him, Sarah, Trey, and Marvin, he breaks the glass with his foot. He screams in anger as he paces.

Scene: Hank and Nick are talking with Renard in his office.

Hank: Once we got confirmation that the nylon fibers in the rat's stomach were were used in German cars, we ruled out the teacher's car.
Nick: We ran every student registration at the Von Hamelin Institute to see if we could find a match with the fibers.
Renard: I'm guessing half the student body drive German cars.
Hank: Actually, we narrowed it down to just BMWs and Audis that use the nylon we're looking for. But the style is only used in SUVs.
Nick: We clicked it down from there to a half-dozen students. One of them had a fight with Roddy. Carter Brimley. [Nick shows Renard a report] and he drives a BMW-X5, which is a match with the fibers
Renard: [he scans the report] Get a warrant.
Hank: Yeah. [he leaves with a smile on his face].


Scene: Roddy is with the rats. He looks like he's trying to talk himself into something. He starts to open all the rat cages, letting them free. He lets some out himself. He then takes out his big cat head that he used as RETCHID KAT. He sets it aside with his violin and goes back to taking some rats out. He trashes the place. He grabs his things and leaves. As he leaves, he doesn't realize that he has accidently lit something on fire.

Scene: School is out. Trey, Carter, and Marvin are on the way to their cars. Carter sets his violin down in the trunk. He owns a blanket that resembles some of the fabric that the rats had in their stomach.

Marvin: Just talked to Sarah. Roddy came over to her house yesterday. He knows we did it.
Carter: Saying it and proving it are two different things.
Marvin: She asked me if we did it.
Trey: You weren't dumb enough to say yes.
Marvin: No, but I'm a little bit freaking out here. Everybody knows Roddy is a lot better player than Carter, and the only reason he got the chair is because we got him booted, and so he could be next to Sarah.
Carter: [he takes out his phone] Grow some. [he looks at his phone] Check it. DJ RETCHID KAT rave tonight.
Trey: Awesome.
Marvin: [avoid getting hit by the trunk door] Are we going?
Carter: Well, the men are.


Scene: Mr. Brimley is annoyed with Nick and Hank.

Mr. Brimley: This is ridiculous. My son had nothing to do with what happened to Dr. Lawson.
Hank: That's what we're here to find out.
Mr. Brimley: Then I should call a lawyer.
Nick: Well, that's your privilege, sir, but you'll still need to open your son's car. Or we'll have to do it by force.
Mr. Brimley: This is great. This is where my tax money goes. [he opens the trunk with the keys. Wu is there with another officer] What do you think you're gonna find? There's nothing in there.
Wu: [to himself] That's what they all say. [Nick and Hank walk over to him as he takes out a blanket] We got holes.
Hank: Bag it.
Mr. Brimley: Holes? What does that mean?
Nick: What do we have here?
[Wu gets near with a flashlight and tweezers. He takes it out and looks at it better with the light].
Wu: Not a chocolate chip.
Nick: And the color of the carpeting matches the fibers we've got.
Hank: Sir, we're going to impound your car.
Mr. Brimley: What?
Nick: Tell us where your son is.
Mr. Brimley: I'm not saying anything to you till I talk to a lawyer.
Hank: Well, in that case, we'll have to put a warrant out for his arrest, he'll be taken to central jail--[a phone is going off].
Mr. Brimley: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's just out with friends.
Hank: [he walk away on the phone] Uh-uh?
Nick: Who?
Mr. Brimley: He left with Trey about an hour ago. They were going to see a movie.
Hank: Nick, we got a fire at the Geiger house.
Nick: [they leave and he turns to Wu] You got this?
Wu: Yeah, got it. Go.


Scene: Firefighters are at the Geiger's. The fire is out. Nick, Hank, and some firefighters are looking around the mess.

Nick: Somebody let the dogs out.
Hank: And I'm guessing it's the same somebody who trashed Roddy's room. [he shoes Nick the photo].
Nick: We'd better get to Sarah's house.


Scene: Roddy arrives at an abandoned building. Hundreds of rats are following.

Scene: Nick and Hank are at the door of Sarah's house. Mrs. Jessup opens the door.

Nick: We need to talk to your daughter.
Mrs. Jessup: Why? She hasn't done anything.
Hank: We need to know where she is. She might be in danger.
Mrs. Jessup: She's with friends at the movies.
Nick: You need to call her.
[Inside of the house, in the kitchen, Mrs. Jessup is calling Sarah while Nick and Hank are behind her. They wait. Then Sarah's phone rings in the kitchen. The phone is charging].
Mrs. Jessup: She didn't take her phone.
Nick: [he walks over to the phone. He opens the messages to see that Carter texted her about the rave] I think we got it.


Scene: Trey is driving as they listen to rave music which happens to be the same song that was playing the night Dr. Lawson died. Sarah looks upset. Carter is sitting with her in the back dancing. Carter is moving his head enjoying the music. Trey is also moving his head.

Scene: Roddy plays Danse Macabre from his spot, connected to his setup. As he plays, he brings more rats to the building and they are everywhere.

Scene: Trey, Carter, Marvin, and Sarah arrive. They get out. There is no one else there.

Trey: Are we in the wrong place?
Marvin: We're the only ones here.
Trey: Maybe we're not supposed to park here.
Carter: Who cares where we park. It's started. I can hear it.
[They walk ahead but then Carter turns to see Sarah falling behind. She looks really upset. She tries to smile].
Carter: What are you doing?
Sarah: Did you guys have anything to do with it?
Trey: What are you talking about?
Sarah: You know what I'm talking about.
Carter: Are you crazy? Come on, let's go.
Sarah: Did you get Roddy suspended?
Carter: No, he jumped us, and we just defended ourselves. What's the matter? You wanna be with Rat-Boy now?
Sarah: [laughing] Shut up.
Carter: Are you coming or not? 'Cause we're going.
[She goes with them convinced that they did not do anything to Dr. Lawson or Roddy].
[They go inside and it is eerie because there is no one].
Marvin: Where is it? [they walk around for a bit until Sarah sees some stairs going down].
Sarah: It's coming from underground.
Trey: Oh, man, that is so literal.
Carter: Oh, this is so sick. [The guys do down without a second thought].
Sarah: I don't know if we should do this.
Carter: Ah, what's your problem.
Marvin: Come on, it's already started.
[Sarah is unsure, yet she follows them down. As they descend, Carter turns on his phone to help him see the steps. He checks his phone to see he has missed calls].
Carter: [chuckles] My old man called me three times.
Trey: Yeah, mine did too.
Marvin: [chuckles] My mom called four times.
Trey: Dude, don't they know we're at a movie?


Scene: Hank and Nick arrive at the building and park their car right next to Trey's.

Hank: Yeah, that's trey's car. Plates match.
Nick: Music's coming from the building.
[They walk in, and they look around before turning on their flashlights. Meanwhile, the kids are going down still].
Sarah: Okay, this is really weird.
Carter: This way. Through here.
[Upstairs. Hank and Nick notice that the music is coming from below. They go down cautiously].
Carter: Whoo!
Marvin: Man! This is tight!
Sarah: This is so cool.
Marvin: Check this place, yo.
Carter: Whoo-whoo!
Sarah: Yeah! Yes! Sweet. [they arrive] We're the only ones here.
Trey: Historical.
Sarah: Oh, wow.
[Roddy stops the music].
Carter: What the hell, man? We early?
Roddy: [with his cat head which distorts his voice] You lied.
Carter: What?
Roddy: You stole the cages. You ratted the car. You killed him.
Trey: Whoa.
Marvin: How does he know that?
Sarah: [she turns to Carter and pushes him so he can see her] You did it. He told me, and I didn't believe him.
Roddy: Now it's your turn.
Sarah: What?
[Roddy grabs his violin and starts playing Danse Macabre. Rats start to appear].
Marvin: Oh my God. It's Roddy.
Trey: DJ RETCHID KAT is Roddy.
Carter: This isn't funny, man.
Sarah: [she notices the rats as they get closer] Oh my God. Oh my God.
Marvin: Rats! [they start to scream and kick rats away].
Roddy: You framed my dad.
Marvin: They're everywhere. Rats!
[From the stairs, Hank and Nick hear the commotion. Roddy is still playing which is making the rats come and attack them. Hank sees the rats once they are walking down the hall to the main area].
Hank: Oh, God. This is not good.
[They hear the screams and take out their guns. As they start to walk Hank jumps as the rats get near his feet].
Roddy: How does it feel?
Sarah: [a rat fall on her shoulder] Ah! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Trey: Dude, let's go! Run! [the boys start to run away and as Sarah beings to follow them, she falls. None of the guys help her as they run, but as soon as the rats start to gang up on Sarah, Roddy stops playing].
Sarah: Please get them off me! [Roddy takes off his cat head] Get them off! Get them off! Get them off!
Roddy: Sarah.
Sarah: Get off! Get off!
[Hank appears in front of the guys and he shoots up scaring everyone. Including the rats].
Hank: Oh my God. [Nick runs to her].
Nick: Hang on! [he helps Sarah as he throw the rats off her. He helps her up and she clings to him scared. He sees Roddy walking away].


Scene: More officers have arrived and they kids are being questioned. They confess.

Trey: We didn't mean it. It was an accident.
Marvin: We never meant to hurt Dr. Lawson. We just wanted to scare him and make it look like Roddy did it so Carter could take his place.
Sarah: Roddy was better than all of us. [to Hank] Will you tell him that I'm sorry?
Hank: Maybe you should do that.
[they all get taken away].
Wu: Guess they're gonna have to face the music.
Hank: Really? You went there?
Wu: [he shrugs his shoulder] Somebody had to. [he walks away].


Scene: Nick find Roddy.

Roddy: [slightly playful] You want my weapon?
Nick: [slightly angry] Sarah had nothing to do with it. And she didn't know her friends did. [Roddy looks at Nick. It seems he wants to say something but he doesn't] Was this worth it?
Roddy: They deserved it.
Nick: Yeah, that's not what I asked.
Roddy: They never would've admitted anything.
Nick: Can't say I ever used rats to get a confession. [Roddy smiles almost laughing] You're lucky no one got hurt.
Roddy: [the smile fades] Expect Dr. Lawson.


Scene: At the precinct. Nick walks over to his desk with a box of pizza while Hank works on the report.

Nick: Mmm! [he shows Hank the pizza box].
Hank: How many rats?
Nick: What?
Hank: For the report? [Nick sets the box down and takes a seat] How many rats do you think were down there?
Nick: I'm sorry. I didn't stop to count.
Hank: I'd like to put a million, 'cause that's what it seemed like.
Nick: Put a thousand. No one is going to believe a million.
Hank: Nobody's going to believe a thousand. What are we gonna charge this kid with?
Nick: Well, if it was up to me... nothing.
Hank: We gotta charge him with something. He took a bunch of kids and tried to hurt 'em.
Nick: With music [he stands and waves his hands in mock fright] and rats and violins? No one forced those kids to go down there. [he grabs napkins and plates].
Hank: So all we got on Roddy is an illegal rave with five people?
Nick: D.A.'s not gonna want this, plus they gotta deal with all those other kids.
Hank: How's a kid do something like that?
Nick: Well, he was an outsider. He got pushed too far.
Hank: No, no, I got that. I'm talking about how he got all those rats to go down to that building.
Nick: [he stops midway from grabbing a pizza as he looks pensive] Oh, I don't know. There are a lot of rats in the city.
Hank: Maybe they like raves. Hmm. [he goes to type something] It was a rat rave.
Nick: Do not put that in the report. [Hank laughs. Nick offers some pizza to Hank] Want a slice?
Hank: Sure. [He opens the box to see a fake rat in the middle of it] Oh! [Nick laughs loudly as he throws his head back] Damn! That's not funny!
Another Detective: [as he passes by he high fives Nick] My man.
Nick: [still laughing] Oh, it's funny if you knew it was there.
Hank: Chuckle now, but payback's a bitch and she bites. [he grabs the squeaky toy rat and sets it in front of his computer] This will remind me.


Scene: Nick's and Juliette's house. Someone is coming up the stairs that are at the back of the house. Juliette is in the kitchen eating a muffin with some coffee and reading the newspaper when they knock on the door. She opens the door. The repairman is there.

Repair man: Uh, I waited until he left. I-I just wanna get my tools, and I'll be out of your hair. [he goes in to get his tools] I-I-I don't want any trouble. I'm a peaceful man.
Juliette: It's all right. He doesn't even remember you.
Repair man: Uh, what do you mean?
Juliette: From whatever time he arrested you.
Repair man: Arrested? What are you talking about?
Juliette: Isn't that what you're talking about?
Repair man: Look, you're never gonna see me again, I swear to God. [he goes to stand up with his tool box but he didn't close it, so it opens up].
Juliette: What about the refrigerator?
Repair man: [grabbing his tool box] They're sending another guy over.
Juliette: Why can't you just fix it?
Repair man: Look, lady. I don't know what kind of games you two are playing here. I got three kids at home. I don't need this. I never did anything bad. He's got no reason to come after me. Please make sure he knows that.
[he closes the door as he leaves. Juliette looks confused and just stands there trying to understand what happened].
