Opening Quote: ""Little pig, little pig, let me come in," said the wolf to the pig. "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin," said the pig to the wolf." – The Three Little Pigs
TV trainer: Here we go. Pop it in. When it gets hard, push harder. [the man continues to smoke as he still shakes the weight] Let the weight do what it does. [The man nods as if to prepare himself for the workout. He grabs the shaker with both hands and starts to shake it hard, side to side until it goes flying across the room and out the window, breaking it.] Five, four...
Man: [sighs] Bummer.
Man: Whoa. [he takes a puff of smoke before the house undergoes another explosion]
Man: Oh man [grabbing a destroyed vinyl record] not my Iron Butterfly!
[Nick and Hank are there]
Nick: Mr. Lasser, you said you walked outside just before it exploded?
Hap Lasser: Well, yeah, Detective. If I would've been in there, I wouldn't be out here. [Hank looks almost amused] Aw, Xena: Warrior Princess, Issue 17. [lowering himself to grab at the comic] It was a classic.
Nick: Mr. Lasser. [Hap is devasted as he opens the destroyed comic] we have a lot of people out here investigating the explosion. If you were involved in any kind of bomb-making, now's the time to let me know before anybody gets hurt.
Hap: Bomb-making? Me? [chuckles, Nick and Hank look amused] I wouldn't know how to do any of that. [Hap morphs into a similar form as Monroe. He's a Blutbad] Everything I love was in there. [Nick stares in apprehension but Hap doesn't notice he's a grimm as he is upset about his stuff] my entire life. My brother's baseball cards. Now if my brother knew about this, he would crap a car.
Hank: [amused] Shouldn't he be happy you're alive?
Hap: How's he gonna hear?
Nick: You're going to need a place to stay the night. Why don't you give your brother a call? [he presents Hap with his phone]
Hap: [shaking his head] Your cell phone's not that good, Detective. [Nick looks confused] He didn't make it out.
Hank: Didn't make it out of what?
Hap: His double-wide. [walking closer] same thing happened to him last month with him in it. He's so dead. [Nick looks worried].
Hap: Yeah, just boom! Man. Just--just blown up. It's like--it's like a crater. The old dome is toast. But I-I-I got nowhere else to go. So h-how 'bout it, man? Just till I get back on my feet? [frowning and in a very distraught voice] please? just for old times' sake? [Nick approaches him] I-I gotta go. They're all up in my grill.
Nick: So let's try to figure out who might want to harm you.
Hap: Detective, listen, bro. I'm a pretty happy guy. That's the reason the name "Hap" works so well for me. I love everybody, and everybody loves me. Even the guys I owe money to.
Nick: [grins in a sarcastic way like he just had an epiphany] follow me.
Hap: [pacing] uh, Jimmy Damon. I'm into him for about 3 grand. I- it's-it's a bar thing.
Nick: [writing things down and so is Hank] a bar tab? [He looks at Hank who looks confused]
Hap: No, Jimmy Damon was for a bar that I opened. He was one of my backers [Nick and Hank look amused and unimpressed] it was a really, really great idea. You actually had your own bar right there at your own table. [a second of unimpressed silence] We lost our shirts. Um, then there's uh, Sammy Runyon. I owe him, like, a couple grand. Strip Mall Creperie. You know those really thin French pancakes? Now, pancakes are the new cupcakes, or at least, they should've been. In fact, maybe I could interest you guys in a really unique investment opportunity.
Hank: Was your brother on the hook with any of these guys, too?
Hap: No, man. Rolf was what you would consider a really solid citizen [sighs and sits down].
Hank: Any of these guys ever threaten you?
Hap: Well, yeah, all the time. But it's just talk, right?
Nick: Loan sharks break bones, they don't usually blow people up [to Hank] makes it harder to get paid back.
Hank: According to the record, your brother's death was never investigated as a homicide. But due to the similarity of the circumstances, can you think of anyone that might want to harm you and your brother?
Hap: [shakes his head] No. We didn't hang around the same kind of people.
Officer: Excuse me [they all turn] This guy says he's here to pic up your vic. [he leaves, revealing Monroe].
Hap: Ha ha! My main man, Monroe! [he goes to hug Monroe] I knew he wouldn't bail on me. Buddy!
Monroe: [gets hugged by Hap and smiles] Hey! [Hap lifts him up and spins him]
Hank: Don't we know that guy?
Hap: Oh, God. It's good to see you, man.
Monroe: You too, man.
Nick: Yeah, that's the guy I thought was involved in the kidnapping.
Hank: Clock guy. That's his friend?
Nick: [kind of confused at the situation he's in] I guess so.
Hank: Hey, you want me to take this?
Nick: No. No, Hank. I-I got this one.
Hank: I'm gonna go find the arson investigator and tell him we're coming down.
Nick: [stands] okay.
Hap: [to Monroe] It's so great to see you. You look awesome!
Nick: You know this guy?
Hap: Yeah. That's my main man, Monroe. I told you he would come, didn't I?
Monroe: Hap and I went through a treatment program together. Many years ago. You have to, you know, honor the bond. Can I take him out of here?
Hap: Yeah- I- C-can I go?
Nick: Yeah, you can go. But you might wanna lay low for a couple of days till we figure out what we got going here.
Monroe: You think someone's trying to hurt him?
Nick: We don't know. [in a lower tone, and grabbing Monroe's shoulder in a friendly manner] Can you keep an eye on him for a couple of days? [Monroe looks a little conflicted]
Hap: Whoa, you guys know each other?
Monroe: We've met.
Hap: Oh yeah? Where'd you meet? Like at a party or something? [there is an unsure pause] Oh, wait, you didn't get arrested for doing some of the stuff you used to do, did you?
Monroe: Alright, let's go, time to go. [They leave and Nick is left confused]
Nick: So you believe both explosions were accidental.
Officer Orson: Yeah, that's how it appears to me. The inlet valve on the propane stove from the Geodesic dome was corroded, not exactly unheard of in this wet climate [Nick and Hank are seeing some photos] so we had a propane leak. The guy's breaker box was out-of-code. He turned on one appliance too many. There was a spark. That was the point of ignition. Now in the older brother's double-wide, we had a nicked propane line. [shows them an image on the computer] It was right next to a frayed extension cord. [another picture] Plus, there was severe rodent infestation. Now, these rats--what they like to do is sharpen their teeth on power cords. Same principle, we got gas plus spark. Boom. Same result.
Nick: Now, is it possible that someone corroded the valve or frayed the cord?
Officer Orson: I get it. They're brothers. It's a very weird coincidence. I tried to find a connection between the gas companies, there wasn't any. The service companies were different as well. Anything's possible, but I've got nothing here to indicate foul play. I did have the C.S.U. team pull some prints off the valves and the tanks. Nothing was a hit on the database [he hands Hank a folder] and you guys know how this works. I-I-I can't base my conclusion on the fact that both victims were related.
Nick: You know, it says here you were contacted by an insurance adjuster.
Officer Orson: Yeah, whenever there's a loss of life, we try to work the case off our desk quickly to aid the beneficiary.
Hank: You know who the beneficiary was from the first brother's death?
Officer Orson: I'm not given that information unless it's a criminal case. But typically, it's next of kin.
Hank: I wonder how many are in that family.
Nick: [to Hank] We should talk to hap.
Hank: Alright, you do that, and I'll contact the insurance company.
Officer Orson: Well, I'm here if you guys need anything else. And keep me in the loop. I'd love to know if we got a bad guy here.
Monroe: You can wash up in there [he hands Hap a towel] my aim is to keep the toilet clean.
Hap: Cool.
Monroe: Your aim will help. [Hap is looking around following Monroe] I shower at 7:15 every morning after Pilates. Please don't run the water at that time. I like full pressure.
Hap: Gotcha.
Monroe: [hands him clothes] here's something to wear.
Hap: huh.
Monroe: What else?
Hap: You went to Brown?
Monroe: Grad School.
Hap: You never told me that, Professor. [chuckles] Hey, how 'bout some underwears? [Monroe stops walking as Hap is looking and touching some of the clocks curiously]
Monroe: [sighs] Oh, no, no. No. Don't touch my clocks, okay? [Hap nods as he stops with the clock] Sofa pulls out to a bed. I like to finish breakfast by 8:30 in the morning [Hap grabs a robot toy but Monroe doesn't notice] Kitchen's in here.
Hap: [looking at the toy and doing a robot voice] Intruder alert.
Monroe: This is the kitchen.
Hap: Hey, you don't happen to have any Schnapps, do you? [Monroe turns around to look at Hap with an incredulous look] and what about dinner, huh? You wanna get take-out? 24/7 Pork Delivers, and if it's more than 20 minutes, it's free!
Monroe: [judgmentally] Pork and Schnapps? Really?
Hap: No, Peppermint Schnapps. Then pork. [Monroe sighs in a defeated manner. Hap's smile drops].
Monroe: [sighing] Oh, dude.
Hap: [sad] Look, bro. I realize this is a little inconvenient for you. It's a little inconvenient for me too. So, if you want me to leave, just say 'Hap, dude, you're a good old friend. We shared some times. But this is my space, and you're not welcome in it.' [Monroe sighs uncomfortably and guilty while Hap looks very sad] It's cool. I'll go.
Monroe: [watching Hap about to leave the kitchen] No. Hap? [Hap stops] You can stay [Hap turns around with a broad smile and laughs. He goes to give Monroe a hug] But no hugs.
Hap: All right. Awesome. [a with fist in the air] Wild times!
Monroe: I'm done with the wild times.
Hap: Right. Right. I can see that [chuckles] Look, bro. I cheated death last night. If that's not a wake-up call, I don't know what is. But I'm going to clean up my act. This time, for reals. Starting tonight with you.
Monroe: Okay.
Hap: Yeah? [laughs. Hap grabs Monroe's hand and brings him in for a bro-type hug] Yeah!
Monroe: All right.
Hap: [walking further into the kitchen] Yeah! Now, how 'bout that pork?
Female Blutbad: A grimm? [Nick looks for his gun which is a few feet away as Monroe and Hap are leaving the house to see the commotion] This is gonna be even more fun that I thought.
Hap: [running toward them to stop the woman] No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Don't hurt him! [Hap grabs the woman just as Nick grabs the gun to point it at her]
Monroe: [running to put himself in front of Nick] No, no, no, no, no!
Nick: Get down, man! Get down!
Monroe: Don't shoot her.
Hap: No, it's my sister, Angelina! [Nick looks conflicted but doesn't drop the gun, and Angelina looks between Hap and Nick. She looks confused]
Angelina: [sighs] He's killed more of out ancestors than I can count. How can you know him? How can you even talk to him?
Monroe: Well, it's complicated.
Hap: [drinking something] What are you talking about?
Angelina: He's a Grimm.
Hap: What? No. He's a cop. Monroe, tell her she's wrong.
Monroe: She's not.
Hap: He's a cop and a Grimm? is that legal?
Nick: Does somebody wanna explain to me why I'm not arresting her for assaulting a police officer?
Angelina: I was protecting my brother!
Hap: Yeah, and your boyfriend.
Monroe: Ex. [Nick looks at Monroe] Long time ago.
Angelina: You know that? This is--this is insane. Three Blutbaden in a room with one Grimm, and we're all having a little chat. We should be having dinner!
Monroe: He's not that kind.
Angelina: [scoffs] There is only one kind.
Nick: Just like there's one kind of Blutbad?
Angelina: Well, Kumbaya. Let's all hold hands. I'd heard that you'd gone straight. I just didn't believe it.
Nick: I'm here to protect your brother, and I need to ask him some questions. So why don't you just shut up? [Angelina gets angry. Her eyes turn red as she goes to attack Nick]
Nick, Monroe, and Hap: Whoa, whoa, whoa! [Monroe grabs her while Hap stands up]
Monroe: Hold on. Hold on.
Hap: Chill, chill.
Monroe: Let's not let this get out of hand again. I just had the carpet cleaned! [Angelina pushes him away, annoyed].
Hap: Wow. You're really a Grimm. I'm, like, living, like, a piece of history right here, bro [Monroe chuckles]
Nick: Your brother Rolf had a life insurance policy. Who was the beneficiary?
Angelina: Don't answer him!
Hap: No, I want to. He's trying to help me. I got the money when Rolf died.
Angelina: Ugh, I need a drink.
Nick: And if you die, who gets the money?
Angelina: Me. So what?
Nick: So where were you the night your brother died? [Angelina gets pissed again and goes to attack Nick again, but Hap stops her]
Hap: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Monroe: Angelina, this is not getting any better.
Angelina: [pushes Monroe's hand away] The night Rolf died, I was in New Orleans, visiting an old friend.
Nick: Does your old friend have a name?
Angelina: [looking slightly guilty at Monroe before looking at Nick] Adam Haupfman.
Hap: [reproachingly] Angelina [Monroe looks slightly disturbed].
Angelina: He's a butcher in the French Quarter. His number's in the book. I'm going to get that drink now. [Angela leaves for the kitchen]
Hap: I'm- I'm gonna top this off.
Nick: [chuckles humorlessly] Oh, come on. You cannot trust her.
Monroe: Well, uh, obviously, it depends on the circumstances. But the point here is... she would never hurt her family.
Nick: Do not let Hap leave this house.
Monroe: I won't. He'll be safe here. I promise. [Nick leaves] Oh man.
Nick: Hey, I want you to run a plate for me.
Angelina: Thanks for being there for him.
Monroe: So how's Adam?
Angelina: [taking a drink from the bottle, chuckling] Oh, Adam. Uh, he's a lot of things. But he's not you. [Monroe scoffs] Tell me that you don't miss it.
Monroe: I don't miss being out of control.
Angelina: I'm in control. I could've killed that Grimm, but I didn't.
Monroe: He could've killed you too.
Angelina: Which would've made you sadder? [she puts a hand on his chest].
Monroe: Why are you here?
Angelina: I'm here to protect my brother. But now, there are other reasons. [she takes a sip from the bottle and offers it to Monroe] ah. Come on. Come on. [Monroe sighs and gives in. takes a gulp.] Good to see you live a little [he chokes slightly] Do you remember that time in the cascades? We didn't go inside for a month. Admit it, you have never felt so free.
Monroe: The call of the wild isn't always such a good thing.
Angelina: Oh, what? You have regrets?
Monroe: Let's just say I'm glad we didn't get caught.
Angelina: That would've just added to the fun. All this restriction is like its own compulsion. You know that? What do you say? [whispering] what do you say? You up for a little nostalgia? [she tries to go in for a kiss, but Monroe backs a bit, but with mere inches apart, he gives in and they kiss. Angelina breaks off the kiss as she goes for the door, Monroe watches her with a dazed look as his eyes turn red].
Monroe: What are you doing? [Angelina is leaving the house, Monroe follows behind. Closing the door behind them] Where are you going?
Angelina: Come on. It's a beautiful night for a run in the woods. If you can still run. [Angelina runs to the woods, and Monroe gives Hap one last look before closing the door all they way and following Angelina with excitement]
Nick: What do you got?
Sgt. Wu: We ran your motorcycle plate [at the precinct] registered to an Angelina Lasser. 533 North Gruenvaldt Lane, Troutdale [it cuts to Nick arriving at Angelina's] couple of speeding tickets, no priors. Anything else?
Nick: [from the earlier phone call] No, thanks a lot.
[Nick gets down the car to lurk around Angelina's place. He does so for a while before opening a back door quietly as there seems to be someone home. He looks around with his gun ready. When feels there's no danger, he puts his gun away. He finds the broken picture frame that Angelina found at Hap's. Nick is looking at it when he gets knocked over by someone who snorts like a pig. From the floor, Nick looks at them go and he notices that the person is also a creature but one he hasn't seen before]
Man: 24/7 Pork. I got your ribs here.
Hap: [waking up. Chuckles] My main man, Monroe, doin' me a solid. [he gets up] score. Coming! [He opens the door] Man, I can't tell you how glad I am to see you!
[the person points a gun with a silencer to Hap. They shot him, sending him back, then two more times before Hap falls to the floor. Hap looks scared as the man--that looks like a pig--walks inside before they raise the gun and shoot Hap in the head. Killing Hap].
Sgt. Wu: No forced entry. Vic took one to the head, three more to the chest. Not exactly a small target. No shell casings self behind, no neighbors reported any gunshots.
Hank: That says professional hit. Which for Portland, frankly, is kind of badass.
Nick: Expect, of course, for the death part.
Hank: I thought he was supposed to be safe here.
Nick: So did I. Her bike's here, so is his car.
Sgt. Wu: Didn't find any other bodies yet. But, uh, it's really early.
Angelina: [from outside] Hap?! [she crosses over the yellow tape. But two officers stop her] No, it's my brother. It's my brother!
Nick: Let 'em through! [Angelina breaks away and runs to the door where she stops when she sees Hap]
Angelina: Hap, no! [she drops to see Hap and begins to cry]
Monroe: What happened?
Nick: He was shot. Four times. Where were you?
Monroe: [shocked] We were just across the street in the park.
Angelina: No, no, no, no, no, no! [sobbing] No, no, no! [Monroe is next to her as her face changes to that of a Blutbad. Nick sees this and looks a little unsettled]
Hank: You see what I see? [Nick looks at him worriedly] the blood on her clothes. [Nick finally notices the staining blood]
Hank: Do yo have any other brothers or sisters?
Angelina: My parents are dead. Rolf and Hap were my only family.
Hank: Any idea who might have it on for them?
Angelina: No.
Hank: Anybody threaten you?
Angelina: Not anyone that I'm worried about.
Hank: Then I guess you wouldn't wanna spend a little time in protective custody.
Angelina: Yeah, right. Me and a couple of cops holed up in a hotel room. Sounds like some good times to me.
Hank: You said you went to the park. Is that how you got the dirt on your clothes?
Angelina: This? [pointing to the blood] Oh, this isn't dirt. This is blood, but you already know that. Don't you, Detective? [she laughs humorlessly before taking her shirt off and throwing it to Hank] Go ahead. Test it. Let me know what you get.
Nick: Why did you leave him alone in the house? Did she talk you into that?
Monroe: No. She didn't talk me into anything. [Nick looks slightly unconvinced]
Nick: Look, Monroe, I'm your best friend right now.
Monroe: It's my fault, okay? I left him alone. It doesn't matter why.
Nick: It matters if she convinced you to leave and she has someone else working with her.
Monroe: She wouldn't do that.
Nick: How do you know?
Monroe: Because he's her brother. [Nick looks unconvinced] we don't kill our own. You don't know her like I do, Nick.
Nick: Yeah, well, maybe that's your problem. Maybe you're a little too close.
Monroe: Hap was my friend! I would have never left him alone if I thought--[sighs] I honestly thought he'd be safe.
Sgt. Wu: Nick? [motioning for him to come over to him]
Nick: [to Monroe] Stay here. [he goes over to Wu]
Sgt. Wu: We ran blood tests on her clothes.
Nick: And what do you got?
Sgt. Wu: Believe it or not, Bugs Bunny. They apparently had something to do with the death of a rabbit.
Monroe: [who was listening to Sgt. Wu sighs in relief] Oh, man.
[Nick grabs the folder of the tests, and goes back to sit down]
Nick: [amused] A rabbit?
Monroe: I, uh, yeah, I lapsed.
Nick: Maybe she is not the right girl for you.
Monroe: Yeah.
Nick: I went over to her house last night.
Monroe: Does she know that?
Nick: No.
Monroe: Good.
Nick: But there was somebody there. I didn't get a good look at him, and I interrupted whatever he was up to. And he took off in a hurry.
Monroe: You think he was there looking for her?
Nick: [leaning closer to Monroe] Just watch yourself.
Nick: What do you got?
Hank: Angelina's water glass. There were some unknown prints on the propane valves at both her brothers' houses. I'm gonna have the lab print this and see if we get a match. I don't know if she had anything to do with killing her brothers, but she's hiding something.
Angelina: My brothers are dead and they wanna hang it on me. I hate cops and you...how could you even be friends with one?
Monroe: Who said we were friends? I hardly know the guy.
Angelina: Yeah, well, don't expect them to bust their ass on who killed Hap.
Monroe: You do realize you could be next.
Angelina: Good. It'll be the last thing he ever tries.
Monroe: You don't even know who you're looking for! Why do you gotta act like such a hardass?
Angelina: You liked my hard ass pretty good last night.
Monroe: Yeah, I did. And now Hap is dead.
Angelina: [turning to look at him] He didn't hurt anybody! Okay? He didn't deserve to die like that.
Monroe: Angelina, listen to me. It's not safe right now. Maybe you shouldn't go home for a while.
Angelina: Why?
Monroe: Nick told me someone was in your house last night.
Angelina: That Grimm was in my house last night?
Monroe: [grabbing her hand] Y-You're missing the point.
Angelina: [pulling her hand away from Monroe] I'll see you sometime. She goes to her motorcycle and she leaves]
Neighbor: Oh, I was so worried.
Juliette: He's become very handsome. You're so brave. So try to keep this on Buddy for a couple days. Try to keep it clean. Don't let him run around in the mud. He's a guy, so I know that's not gonna be easy. [She smiles at Nick and he grins back. She grabs Buddy and they make to the door] You are good to go. Oh, Buddy. Good boy. [To Nick] A minor neighborhood emergency.
Nick: Yeah, I can tell.
Neighbor: Hello [Nick smiles].
Juliette: Here you go. [She hands over Buddy] Keep me posted.
Neighbor: Come on, Buddy. Thank you, Juliette. [She leaves, and Juliette closes the door after her].
Nick: So, how did Buddy get himself in trouble?
Juliette: He went after Eloise, that huge yellow cat a couple doors down.
Nick: [confused] How did Eloise come of out it?
Juliette: [cleaning her station on the floor] On top. Apparently Buddy bit off more than he could chew.
Nick: The cat beat up the dog?
Juliette: Don't piss off a woman with claws. [Nick gets a flashback to when Angelina attacked him]
Nick: I'll try and remember that.
Juliette: [standing up and walking toward him] How are you doing? That looks better.
Nick: You know, I'm just... [Juliette touches his forehead] happy I have a Doctor in the house.
Juliette: [wrapping her arms around Nick's shoulders] Aw, that's sweet [she gives him a kiss] wait 'till you get my bill.
Angelina: Pig.
Hank: Got the report back on Angelina's prints. No match at either brother's house, but we got a match on a bloody partial from a double murder two years ago in Eugene. [Nick looks at the information pulled up on the computer screen] The vics were brothers. Lived next-door to each other.
Nick: Brothers?
Hank: Murdered on the same night. [grabbing pictures that Hank has on the desk. It shows two bodies completely mauled] Case is still open. No suspects.
Nick: Until now.
Hank: Don't know what those boys ever did to her, but it gives a new meaning to 'you fight like a girl.' [Nick looks disturbed at the pictures] Now, check this out. [he points to a paper which Nick grabs]
Nick: The vics were George and Stanley Orson. Same name as our Arson investigator.
Hank: Could be a coincidence, but I found this. [he pulls up an article online about the murders and Nick sees their Arson Investigator looking upset as an Officer seems to be trying to be comforting].
Nick: I think we have a family feud going on here.
Hank: If it is, then we got an Arson Investigator investigating himself. Which is why he found no evidence at either crime scene.
Nick: We better bring the Captain in on this one.
Renard: You want to bring in Lieutenant Orson for questioning?
Nick: Yes, his brothers were killed two years ago, and we believe Angelina Lasser was responsible.
Hank: We think he figured out she was responsible for killing his brothers and killed hers for payback.
Renard: Well, you think or you know?
Nick: He's an Arson Investigator. He knows better than anyone else how to make an explosion look like an accident.
Hank: We have an A.P.B. out on Angelina. How do you want us to deal with Orson?
Renard: [handing back the folder he had been reading] Carefully. He's got a clean record. I'm not gonna protect a dirty cop, but make sure you're right.
Nick: Yes, Sir.
Hank: All right.
Angelina: I know who killed Hap and Rolf. It was a cop. A Bauerschwein.
Monroe: [pissed] What?
Angelina: I picked up his stench at the precinct and then again at my place last night.
Monroe: [standing] a pig?
Angelina: Uh-huh.
Monroe: Killed one of us? Are you sure?
Angelina: Oh, I'm sure.
Monroe: Who is it?
Angelina: I don't know but when I find out, he's gonna pay.
Monroe: [warningly] Angelina...stay out of this!
Angelina: I owe it to Hap! And so do you.
Monroe: [upset] Hap's dead. There's nothing we can do for him now. We should've been for him last night. [he goes back to his cleaning]
Angelina: [upset as well] I was hoping that you were gonna tear out a little piggy throat with me. I guess I'm still a little naïve. [she begins to leave] You know what I hate the most? That I still love you. [that stops Monroe but he doesn't do anything]
[When Angelina leaves, Monroe goes back inside his house with the tub of bloody water. When he closes the door he drops it as he looks very upset, and starts to pace. He grabs a clock and looks at it for a minute before he throws it and breaks it]
Nick: Burkhardt.
Monroe: Angelina just came by. She says she knows who killed her brothers. [sighs] says it was a Bauerschwein.
Nick: [whispering into his phone] a what?
Monroe: A pig. And I don't mean a cop, but I do mean a cop.
Nick: Does she know who?
Monroe: No, do you?
Nick: [stays quiet for a second] I can't tell you that.
Monroe: [scoffs] Well, you better protect his ass 'cause she's out for blood.
[Nick hangs up just as Lieutenant Orson walks past him. Nick follows him as Lieutenant Orson goes down the stairs with a folder in hand]
Nick: Lieutenant!
Lt. Orson: Yeah?
Nick: Mind if I have a word?
Lt. Orson: Sure.
Nick: I just want to let you know that we are sending your case files on the Lasser arson to a Seattle lab to get a second opinion.
Lt. Orson: On what?
Nick: You believe that both cases are accidental and unrelated.
Lt. Orson: Why would you do that?
Nick: It's just too much of a coincidence. Two brothers both had gas leaks a month apart. Doesn't that strike you as a little stranger?
Lt. Orson: I didn't screw it up.
Nick: An investigator tells the story he wants told.
Lt. Orson: I tell the truth!
Nick: Yeah? The how about your two brothers? You wanna tell me the truth about them? [Orson snarls as he turns into a pig. Nick looks at him] Bauerschwein, right?
Lt. Orson: [morphing back] I don't have a problem with you, Detective. Our families have never been enemies. You should know that. Let's not change it now. [he looks a little put off as he leaves. Nick watches him go].
Nick: [still knocking] Monroe, it's Nick! Open up!
Monroe: [opening the door] Maybe I should just get you your own key.
Nick: [walking in] Where's Angelina?
Monroe: [closing the door] I don't know.
Nick: She is a murderer. [upset] She killed the brothers of a cop!
Monroe: And he killed hers. I'm up to speed.
Nick: Just tell me where she is.
Monroe: I'm gonna tell you what I told her. I'm staying out of it! This Blutbad-Bauerschwein feud goes back centuries. We get blamed for every Bauerschwein death. Even the suicides! And by the way, she is never gonna let you or anyone else arrest her.
Nick: [walking toward Monroe] Right now, I'm just trying to keep them from killing each other or somebody else.
Monroe: Good luck with that. That's your job.
Nick: You're still in love with her, aren't you?
Monroe: [sighing] no [another sigh] I'm not. There was a time when I thought, maybe... till I started waking up pulling rabbit fur out of my teeth. I don't miss those days. There's no good ending to this, Nick. I mean, I don't want her to die. But I don't want you to try to arrest her either. [sighs] Frankly, I'd rather she just get away, so nobody else gets hurt.
Nick: But you know that's not gonna happen.
Monroe: Let me tell you something. I want this guy dead too. You understand? And it is taking all my self-control not to help her. So you can either stick around, have a glass of wine, or you can leave. [Monroe goes back to his wine leaving Nick speechless]
Officer: Excuse me. What are you doing?
Angelina: Just looking around.
Officer: You got a reason to be here?
Angelina: I'm just looking for Officer Orson.
Officer: He's not here. Who're you?
Angelina: I'm a friend. [walking around the desk toward the Officer] You wouldn't happen to have his home address, would you?
Officer: We don't give out that kind of information. [Angelina hums] You shouldn't be in here. What's your name?
Angelina: That's really not important.
Officer: [grabs Angelina by the elbow] Yeah, it is.
[Angelina grabs him and throws him over the desk, and she makes her leave].
Hank: Where? Did they get her? You mean she's still in the building? Yeah, yeah. On our way. [He hangs up] A woman was in Orson's office, looking for him. She attacked an Officer.
Nick: That had to be Angelina.
Hank: She's got some balls, coming in here. [they begin to leave] How the hell'd she know it was Orson?
Nick: I don't know, but we better find him before she does.
Hank: Unless he's looking for her.
Lt. Orson: Don't give me an excuse to use this.
Monroe: You really need an excuse?
Lt. Orson: This isn't between you and me.
Monroe: Then what's with the shotgun?
Lt. Orson: I didn't want to end up on the dinner table with an apple stuffed in my mouth.
Monroe: [sighs] Mind if I put my groceries down?
Lt. Orson: [apprehensively] slowly. [Monroe does it, keeping an eye on Orson] slowly. I know what you're thinking about, Blutbad. 'Can I get to him before he pulls the trigger?' Well, I know you're fast, but this thing is filled with double ought buck. You'll be pulling your teeth off the back wall before you sink 'em into my neck.
Monroe: Do you really have to go there?
Lt. Orson: Now, I know you're not gonna tell me where she is, so I'm not gonna bother asking. But I'm gonna tell you something. This ends with me and her.
Monroe: [angry] you killed my friend. I'm supposed to be okay with that?
Lt. Orson: Your friend was part of an old world order.
Monroe: Hap wasn't like that.
Lt. Orson: Neither were my brothers! And she killed them. So I killed hers. We're not the same Bauerschwein we used to be. You just give her the message [he begins to leave] 'we're even.'
Monroe: I can tell her, but she ain't gonna listen. She's old-fashioned that way.
Lt. Orson: Change is never easy. But you can't say I didn't try. [He leaves with the shotgun still pointing at Monroe].
Sgt. Wu: Hey. Hold up. Just got a call from the Officer checking on Angelina's house.
Nick: What, you get her?
Sgt. Wu: No, but somebody torched her house.
Hank: Any bodies?
Sgt. Wu: We don't know. Fire department's still mopping up. We can't get in yet.
Nick: [to Hank] You take Angelina's. I'll take Orson's.
Hank: Yeah.
Nick: Lieutenant Orson! It's Detective Burkhardt. [seeing that the door's unlocked, Nick goes in] Orson, it's Nick. I'm coming in. [he takes his gun out and looks around carefully. He opens the door to the bathroom and finds a tub full of mud. As Nick turns around, bubbles break the surface. Then Orson breaks surface looking like a pig covered in mud. Nick turns around and points the gun at him]
Lt. Orson: [raising his hands] Relax, relax. It's just me!
Nick: What the hell are you doing?
Lt. Orson: Mud bath.
Nick: Yeah, I got that.
Lt. Orson: It's a Bauerschwein thing. It soothes the skin. [Nick stops pointing the gun at him] It helps me think.
Nick: So what are you thinking?
Lt. Orson: [grabs a towel] You know what, I was thinking. When you stopped me at the stairwell, a-a-and you figured out what I really was, I was- I was a little freaked out at first. And then I realized, maybe you being a Grimm--maybe that's not such a bad thing. We're kind of on the same side.
Nick: I don't think so.
Lt. Orson: Angelina Lasser is a monster. You go after monsters. So do I!
Nick: You killed two people!
Lt. Orson: Blutbaden are not people. Rolf was an animal, just like his sister.
Nick: And Hap?
Lt. Orson: Do--do you know why she killed my brothers?
Nick: That doesn't matter.
Lt. Orson: For fun. For sport. It was just something to do on a Saturday night.
Nick: It's over! Put on some clothes. [he leaves the bathroom and waits outside for Orson].
Lt. Orson: My brothers worked their entire lives to put a crummy roof over their heads. And then--this is the first time one of us has gone after one of them. The huff-and-puff days are over. Now Burkhardt, whatever else we are, we are both cops, and we ought to be working together.
Nick: I'm not working with you. I'm putting you under arrest.
Lt. Orson: This is not about the law. Do you understand? This is never gonna be about the law. How are you gonna teach a wild animal--[he stops and sniffs. He quickly grabs his gun and Nick raises his to him]
Nick: What are you doing?
Lt. Orson: She's here. [Just then Angelina comes out behind him and pushes him. They begin to fight. Angelina takes has the upper hand and she bites his arm. Orson throws her away]
Nick: Get off him or I'll shoot! [it goes unheard as they keep fighting. Angelina throws Orson to the ground and she throws herself on top of him. Pinning him to the floor as she has him on his stomach] Get off him!
Angelina: You were good to Hap, so I'm gonna give you a free pass. [she bites Orson and he squeals. Nick remembers what he read about Blutbaden and their weak spot. Nick hits Angelina with his elbow in her lower back. She screams in pain and she turns to Nick] Now you're gonna pay. [Orson shoots her. She drops to the ground]
Nick: No! [he stops Orson by throwing his gun away. They turn to Angelina but she's gone. Nick gets out of Orson's house but there is no sign of Angelina. He sees drops of her blood which make a small trail. But not enough to follow her]
Orson: [to Nick] Sometimes being a cop gets in the way of what you have to do.
Monroe: Yeah.
Nick: [still at Orson's] He's in custody, and she's been shot.
Monroe: Where is she?
Nick: We're still looking for her.
Monroe: [scoffs] You'll never find her.
Nick: Yeah. But you might.
Monroe: Don't push it. [He hangs up and now he's looking at a picture of him and Angelina kissing. He smiles. Suddenly, he hears the front porch's floor creak. He goes out to check it out. He finds no one but on the ground on his steps, the picture frame that Angelina took from Hap's place is there. There a howl in the night.]
[THE END]
