what a tender young creature.

What a nice plump mouthful...

The Brothers Grimm, 1812



PORTLAND

A young woman, Sylvia Oster (Joy Flatz), is seen walking out of the double doors of a large building. Dressed in a red hooded sweatshirt, black cropped jogging bottoms and pink Nike running shoes she proceeds to insert earphones from her iPod before starting her jog, Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics plays .

A weathered sign indicates the route of two trails, Talon Creek and Sweetbriar. Sylvia takes the Talon Creek trail, a dirt pathway in a densely wooded area. She stops when she sees a small Hummel figurine, of a girl, on a lichen covered log by the side of the trail. Looking around, and seeing no-one, Sylvia picks the figurine up, a look of consternation on her face as she gazes at it. Suddenly a dark unclear figure rushes in from the right bearing Sylvia away. Animal growling and fading, dying, screams are heard from off screen. The camera pans the moss covered trees in the surrounding area finally coming to rest on Sylvias still playing iPod which lies on the ground.

A busy city street. Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) is seen exiting a Jewellery store, a small box with an engagement ring held up in his left hand as he approaches his partner Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby) standing by their car. After some harmless banter and joking, where we find out Hank has been married four times while this will be Nicks first, they both turn to look at a pretty young blonde woman (Claire Coffee) who, coffee in hand, laughs and chats with another woman before proceeding on her way. Hank asks his friend "Detective what are you looking at, you just bought a ring.." Nick responds by giving Hank a description of what he sees "She wears Armani, makes low six figures, drives a BMW and is falling for a senior partner at her law firm." Hank ribs him for not just seeing a pretty young woman. As Hank turns away to get into the car Nick continues to watch the woman. Noticing his attention the woman smiles, then her face suddenly morphs into a grotesque vision, which Nick sees. The woman senses a change in Nicks demeanour and head down continues, unsmiling, on her way, while Nick looks on thoughtfully.

Nick and Hank walk down a wood lined pathway in company with a Forest Service Office (Burl Ross), who gives details pertaining to the discovery of the crime by a hiker. They stop, Nick kneeling to view a bloodied, fly covered, severed limb. The Forest Service Office informs them that "the rest of her is off trail." They proceed off to an area with fluorescent indicators scattered all around, and enquire as to how the officer knows the victim is a female. The Officer indicates a pink Nike running shoe. The officer tells the pair that normally they could recognize the animal which attacked, bear, cougar or wolf, by its tracks, however in this case it is interesting that the only track found is that of a boot. Nick shouts to the investigation teams that a cast be made of the imprint. Hank comments to the Officer that DNA would tell them whether "this is your case or ours." Retracing their steps Nick says to Hank that the case is reminiscent of one he heard occurring a month ago in Munson(?) Creek Falls. Hank agrees "a hiker and a Bob cat" to which Nick replies"except the Bob cat wasn't wearing boots." Stopping suddenly Nick asks Hank if he hears music and proceeds outside the cordoned off area to find the joggers iPod, still playing Sweet Dreams, at the side of the path. He calls out his discovery to the investigators and then confirms the song playing for Hanks benefit.

Nick and Hank enter the Police station discussing what to do until they receive the DNA results; compiling a list of violent (human) predators in the area and getting more information on the Munson Creek Falls attack. Hank turns into a room leaving Nick to continue walking on down the corridor. Nick enters the main squad room and sees a seated, handcuffed angry young perp (Casey Vann) being processed by a colleague. The young man looks at Nick and his face changes, mouth widening and a forked tongue showing, he hisses at Nick. Nick, his attention looking at the perp in disbelief, collides with Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) who after a smart comment continues on his way.

A pale bald sick looking woman is seen behind the wheel of a vehicle as it makes its slow way down a tree lined suburban street. Looking in the direction of a well maintained house she turns down a road so she can access and park to the rear. Her vehicle is shown to be towing an old, although well maintained, travel Trailer. She gets out the car, and with the use of a stick, makes her way to the door where she peers into the lounge via the door window.

In the squad room Nick and Hank discuss the number, 25, of violent predators in a five mile radius of the crime scene, unfortunately none of them have MO's indicative of this crime. Replacing the phone Hank says they have a hit on the ID of the victim, Sylvia Oster, who went out jogging but did not return.

Standing outside, Nick and Hank take details of Sylvias disappearance from her friend (Tierra Valentine). They view a picture of the missing girl on her friends phone and confirm that she was wearing pink Nikes when she left for her run at 7.30am that morning.

Nick and Hank, back in the squad room, bring up Sylvias Oregon driving licence on the computer, confirming they now have a positive ID of the victim they decide to call it a day and go home. Nick picks up his jacket and the ring box falls out and is picked up by Hank who passes it back to him while commenting on Nicks "Big night".

Night time and Nick draws up in front of the house seen earlier. He exits the vehicle, stares at the house and then looks around and listens to the sounds of dogs yelping in the local area. He enters the house into a darkened hallway and calls out to Juliette Silverton (Elizabeth Tulloch), with whom he shares the home. Looking in the dining room he sees the bald woman seated at the table preparing vegetables, her back turned to him, it is his Aunt Marie Kessler (Kate Burton) whom he seems happy, but surprised, to see. Juliette states Aunt Marie was here when she got home and asks if Nick knew she was coming. Aunt Marie says she meant to call but that sometimes she forgets things and assumes she has done them. During a welcome hug Marie whispers to Nick "We need to talk".

Nick and Marie walk along the darkened street and discuss how long Marie has left to live, "2 mths, 2 wks or 2 days, nobody knows" she states. Marie says she has things to tell Nick about his family and then asks if he has been seeing strange things. Without being specific she comments that things are happening too fast, faster than she expected and that the family legacy is passing to him. That if he loves Juliette he must leave her as it is far too dangerous for Juliette to be around him. Suddenly Maries attention is drawn to a parked car and she announces that "He is here - Hulda" (Danny Hernandez). A humanoid creature carrying a scythe jumps out and battle ensues. Despite her illness Marie does her best to defeat the creature however it is finally killed when Nick shoots it. The dead creature reverts to its human physique.

Nick kneels by Marie at the Kerb, she asks if the Hulda is dead and confirms that 'they' had been following her and she thought she had lost them before coming to Nicks. She takes a decorative green locket on a chain from around her neck and gives it to Nick telling him to never lose it and to guard it with his life, that 'they' would be looking for it. Before losing consciousness she tells Nick that his parents did not die in a crash but were killed.

Marie is seen on a stretcher being loaded onto an ambulance, while Juliette looks on. Nick explains the attack to Hank but does not mention that Hulda was a creature at the time. Hank leaves to run Huldas prints and make further enquiries. Nick travels in the ambulance to the hospital with Marie after saying goodbye to Juliette.

Nick sits on a chair outside Maries room sketching the face of the creature he killed before being called in by Dr Rose (Ayanna Berkshire) when Marie regains consciousness. Surrounded by machines Marie holds Nicks hand and confirms that Nick saw the Hulda in his creature form. She explains that as the creatures lose control 'we' have the ability to see what they really are. That fairytales are real and that what the brothers Grimm wrote about aren't just tales, but very real. Nick is one of the last Grimms and he is vulnerable now. She wishes she had more time but everything is in her trailer. Nick asks about his parents but does not receive any answers as Dr Rose asks him to leave while confirming that he can see his Aunt tomorrow. Walking down the hospital corridor he takes out the green locket and examines it, and discovers it is in fact a key.

Nick returns to the squad room and examines the inscribed blade of the scythe; he has flashbacks to the Hulda creature and the perp creature he had seen earlier. Hank comes in, asking if Nick has had the scythe translated and Nick confirms that it says "Reapers of the Grimms".

Walking down the station stairs Hank confirms that Huldas prints connect him to several violent assaults and deaths in various States; Florida, Alabama as well as Chicago. Passing them on the stairs Sgt. Wu tells Nick that Cpt. Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) wants to see him.

Capt. Renard confirms that if Nick had to shoot anyone he picked the right one. He asks how Nick is holding up after his first shooting and advises him that after an incident of this nature he is required to speak to a Police Psychologist, and after confirming that Nick will do so tells Nick to take care of himself before leaving.

A dark misty forest, a woman in a long red silk dress runs in slow motion. It is Juliette, she stops and turns with a look of fear on her face. A close up of the Huldas face as it hisses.

Nick sits up suddenly in bed, Juliette sleeping beside him. Woken by the dream he looks out the bedroom window to the trailer.

Using a torch Nick enters the trailer and looks around seeing a table, chair and various pieces of equipment as well as books and herbs. The trailer has obviously been redesigned for storage and study rather than living in. He looks at the strange green key in his hand, obviously intent on finding the lock to which it fits. Drawings are pinned to ceiling and walls, map charts are rolled, various pieces of scientific equipment are scattered around on surrounding surfaces. Nick opens a cupboard to reveal various antiquated weapons; swords, maces, axes, bows, daggers, axes etc. some unrecognizable. He closes the cupboard then seats himself at the table where a large book lies open. He flicks through the pages which show medallion diagrams, sketches of creatures and old photographs until he comes to a picture of a 'Hag' and is reminded of the young blonde woman he saw earlier. He hears a noise and raises the torch to dazzle Juliette who has followed him down. He quickly ushers Juliette out of the trailer and when asked says he couldn't sleep and will deal with the strange trailer later. Nick explains that he was brought up by Marie after the death of his parents, from age 12. That he knew nothing about the trailer. They hear a cat and looking around see nothing, re-entering the house. They are seen from an overlooking point between the trees; a strange animal sound is heard.

Hank walks down a station corridor, talking on the phone "This is what we're looking for; if its an exact match of the boot prints its going to be very helpful.". Nick intercepts him as he finishes the call and informs him that the DNA results of the attacker are inconclusive and that they still don't know if they are looking for man or beast. Hank shows Nick a picture of the type of boot which matches the plaster cast taken at the scene.

A pair of feet, encased in boots similar to those from the picture, below blue trousers walk down a wet sidewalk. The back of a man is shown, Blue jacket, cap and brown satchel, as he places a brown envelope in a mail box, 7122. He continues to walk down the sidewalk, passing a young girl walking in the opposite direction. The girl is wearing red hoodie, purple leggings and has a pink and purple backpack. The mailman pauses, turns, and proceeds to follow the young girl, his face remaining hidden from the view.

Nick, at the hospital, is informed by Dr Rose that Marie remains in a deep coma. She enquires if Nick knew about the scars, from knife wounds, that cover Maries body, he did not, and confirms that she was a librarian. Nick answers his phone then rushes from the room.

A suburban street where police cars are parked and officers walk around. On the porch of a house Mrs Howell ([link-=nm2365770]) sobs and explains to Sgt Wu that her daughter Robin (Sophia Mitri Schloss) was supposed to go to her grandfathers house directly after school. The grandfather (Mark Lewis) explains that she never turned up and after checking the neighbourhood decided they should alert the police. Sgt Wu turns, intercepts Nick and Hank as they arrive, and updates them. Sgt Wu says he will check out the grandfather and then hands them a photograph of Robin.

Capt. Renard briefs detectives on the case, an enlarged projected picture of Robin behind him. The projected image changes to the route she would take to the grandfathers house. The Point A to Point B route goes around a green area, with many paths, identified as Berkeley Park. Capt. Renard instructs that alternate routes should be checked and then gives a description of her clothing at which point Nick turns to look at Hank. Nick and Hank speak to Renard as the meeting adjourns and the other officers leave. They point out to Renard that the jogger also wore a red hoodie. Renard hopes that it isn't the same guy, given the type of death the student suffered.

A white van with red and blue stripes drives down a leaf covered road. Nick and Hank walk down a road and discuss Robins route. Hank points out that while Mrs Howell may have been specific about the route, children did not always follow the rules and it would be natural for a child to take the shorter, more direct, route across the park.

Nick and Hank enter the wooded park, at a route marker they split up. Nick takes the Hollyberry Trail and Hank the Mill Pond. Nick is nervous as he walks the path, turning at every sound and remembering Maries words "You need to be careful...you're vulnerable now...this isn't a fairytale". Hank spots a pink and purple backpack discarded and partially hidden by a large fern and calls to Nick, who rushes over. The backpack bears the initials RH, Robin Howell. Nick starts to search around as Hank reports the crime scene by phone. Nick quickly finds a boot print, and calls to Hank, then swiftly begins to follow boot prints through the overgrown wood, off-trail. Eventually he arrives at a street. A man emerges from the small house directly opposite, a yellow VW beetle parked in its drive. The man opens and removes mail from his box as three children riding bikes pass him on the sidewalk. The man turns to look after the children, his eyes turn red, his ears elongate and turn pointed as his face sprouts hair. He sniffs the air then turns and sees Nick in the wood, shows pointed uneven teeth and growls in his direction. Nick stops and stares intently before calling "Hank, I got him!" The man shakes off the visage and bolts for his house as first Nick and then Hank follow. Nick chases him inside, grabs and then pushes him down shouting "Where is she? Where is she?"

Outside the house various police cars and officers are seen. Nick and Hank are in the lounge along with Sgt Wu who is searching for evidence, and finding nothing. Hank escorts Nick out onto the porch, pulling him by the arm. Hank asks what they are doing and what Nick sees about the man that no-one else does as he has no priors and is clean. The man, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) is seen sitting in the rear of a police car. Nick says he fits the profile "he's a loner, never been married and lives across the street from the park". Hank points out that without evidence that won't get the man into court unless he sues them. Hank walks away as Nick returns the stare of Monroe, still seated in the back of the car.

Juliette looks down from the bedroom window onto the trailer which is lit from within by a torch. Nick is seen sitting at the table flicking through pages of the large book, finally stopping at a sketch resembling Monroes creature form.

A lamp lit window, through which Monroe can be seen eating while he stands. Nick positioned opposite stares intently. Nick receives a call from Juliette which he ignores when he sees Monroe exiting the house and walking to the rear of the property where he relieves himself at various points along the fence. Nick, having followed, watches him from the opposite side of the building. Monroe turns slightly and sniffs the air before returning to the house. Nick turns to retrace his foot steps, the lights go off inside the house. Nick sneaks below the window. The glass smashes as Monroe in his creature form attacks Nick, stands, and then tells him he "shouldn't have come back" before shaking his head and reverting to human appearance. Nick starts to reach for something at his side, before Monroe good naturedly tells Nick to "lighten up, I'm just making a point" and then proceeds to invite Nick in for a brew while telling him he is paying for the broken window. Monroe then turns away, leaving Nick to follow.

Inside the house Monroe passes Nick a bottle of beer while commenting, and peering closely into Nicks face. that he had "never thought to see one of you before..a Grimm. Well whatd'ya know". Nick is surprised and asks for further information. Monroe tells of how he was scared, as a kid, by stories told to him by his mother of the Grimms. Then wonders aloud how long Nick has been at this as he seems 'kinda new to it'. When Nick asks what he knows the man says that someone in Nicks family must have just died which would explain it. Nick mentions the comatose Marie Kessler and Monroe looks serious having heard of her and then turns away saying he doesn't want any trouble, that he is a Blutbad, but hasn't killed in years. A Blutbad being the big bad wolf. Monroe knows about the books as do all the Wessen or creatures, the Grimms having been profiling the Wessen for over 200 yrs. He stays good through a strict regimen of diet, drugs and palates. He is a "reformed Blutbad, a weiner Blutbad, a different church altogether.". Monroe informs Nick that he can't stop from being a Grimm, it is who he is. Nick explains that the only reason he is at Monroes is because he is still looking for Robin, and Monroe tells Nick he is not aware of where she is. That Blutbaden (pl.) don't socialize much; as bad things happen when a pack gets together, especially when they see the colour red. That he is a clockmaker and he was marking his territory when pissing against the fence. Nick elicits the information that Monroe knows of other Blutbaden in the area, that he knows who took Robin and that Monroe had better help him find her. Monroe warns Nick not to threaten him but maintains his control when Nick physically pushes and holds him against a wall.

A dark river flows beneath a wooden bridge in a forest. A VW Campervan is seen driving across the bridge before stopping in front of a small solitary cottage covered in moss, a light glows on the porch. The driver gets out, it is the postman. Going to the rear of the campervan he removes a large sack which he carries into the cottage, the whimpering of a child is heard. Inside the cottage the postman passes a shelf on which stands the Hummel figurine of the little girl. The postman places the sack on the floor, it wriggles, he moves a coffee table, lifts the rug and opens a trap door hidden beneath. His feet and lower legs are seen as they descend some well worn wooden steps. He empties the sack onto a pretty, linen covered, four-poster bed. Robin tumbles from the sack and then quickly scoots to the head of the bed, her arms wrapped around her knees. The postmans face is now seen (Tim Bagley), an average middle aged and harmless looking man. Robin asks to go home and the postman tells her she is home and offers to take and hang up her hoodie. Frightened Robin lets him, and he is seen placing it on a hanger in a small wardrobe where several similar red hoodies hang. He asks if Robin would like a chicken pot pie, to which she shakes her head as a negative, before he runs up the stairs and slams the trapdoor shut, leaving Robin rocking back and forth in the light of a bedside lamp.

A Yellow VW Beetle is seen driving erratically and at speed along a darkened forest track. Monroe, driving, hangs partially out the window as he casts around for the postmans scent. Nick offers to drive but Monroe continues on. Monroe tells Nick that if the Blutbad had fed the day before then he is good for a week, maybe 10 days tops, giving him time to fatten Robin up. Monroe suddenly picks up the scent and says they are really close, and re-seats himself within the vehicle.

Inside the cottage the postman looks closely at his boots, covered in mud. He looks around, stands and moves off screen.

The Beetle is seen to stop in the middle of the wooden bridge, above the river, a Dead End sign caught in its headlights. Monroe removes the keys and indicates that this is as far as they can go by car, before both he and Nick get out. Monroe brings out a packet of wolfsbane which he proceeds to smear on his clothing indicating that Nick should do the same if he wants to stay alive. Nick starts to head the rest of the way across the bridge but Monroe calls him back and heads in the opposite direction, they must go a less obvious route. They go down the bank into the river and then walk closer to the cottage. Monroe starts to change into his Blutbad visage but fights it. On seeing the cottage Monroe changes fully, but again is able to maintain his control and revert back to his human physique. He tells Nick that he cannot go any further as he can't guarantee what will happen, he could be on Nicks side but on the other hand he could join with the other Blutbad or even go after the girl. Monroe then leaves returning back the way they came. Nick remains and looks toward the cottage.

Hank is awoken by his phone ringing. Nick informs him he has found the girl.

The postman is seen standing in front of a roaring fire before turning, sniffing the air, and making his way to the window where he looks out onto the dark moonlit forest. A knocking sound is heard, and looking toward the coffee table the postman sees the vase of flowers moving. The postman opens the trapdoor to see Robin who asks to go home and he again tells her that she is home before slamming the trapdoor shut.

Nick stands on the bridge by the Dead End sign as Hank arrives in his car and gets out. There is no sign of Monroes vehicle. After telling Hank where the cottage is Nick smears Hank with wolfsbane and tells him it is so he won't be smelled. Hank tells him they aren't hunting deer and asks about their backup. Nick admits that he, Hank, is the only one he called. Having already cried wolf once he doesn't believe anyone will take him seriously. Nick takes Hank via the same route he was shown by Monroe, down the bank and across the stream. Nick is vague with information when asked by Hank how he found the place, saying it was something to do with the boots, this was one of the addresses and that he has forgotten the owners name. They come to the edge of the woods and view the well lit cottage, with its now smoking chimney. Nick is still waiting for details on the vehicles plates. Hank tells him he better not be wrong this time, and Nick asks for his trust.

Inside the extremely neat and tidy cottage the postman is seen replacing the rug and coffee table. Standing up he sniffs the air and turns in the direction of the door. Nicks hand is seen using the knocker. The postman opens the door and greets them asking if he can help them. Hank and Nick look down at the mocassin type slippers on the postmans feet, then Hank introduces them and asks if the postman has a few minutes. The postman invites them in and they enter the lounge and look around. Hank picks up a cushion and the postman admits to having done the needlepoint himself. A kitchen timer rings and the postman excuses himself so he can go and remove a pot pie from the oven, before they talk. The postman appears so harmless and unimposing that Hank finds it hard to comprehend that Nick can be serious in believing he is guilty. Nick confirms he does.

Hank follows the postman into the kitchen trailed by Nick. The postman is seen taking the pie out of the oven then placing it on the counter and taking a deep sniff, his eyes momentarily turning blood red. He turns to the pair with a smile and apologizes for taking so long. Hank asks what the postman does and then what he was doing when Robin went missing. He tells them he was on his round and asks why they are asking. Nick shows him a picture of Robin and the postman expresses false dismay at hearing what has happened and hopes they don't believe he had anything to do with it. Hank says they have to explore every possibility, the boots being the main one, and the postman gives them permission to search anywhere they want, the boots having been destroyed on the fire.

Nick is seen opening the wardrobe of the bedroom, he looks at the clothes neatly folded and the shoes on their racks. There are no boots of any type. From the doorway Hank tells Nick that if the postman had anything to hide he would have kicked them out, that he is leaving as he wants to keep his job. To the sounds of the postmans humming Nick follows Hank out the bedroom, down a short hall to the lounge where the postman asks if he can offer any further help. Hank leaves as does Nick, after a final backward glance toward the postman.

Outside Nick follows an angry Hank, apologizing as he does so, because he truly believed he was correct, he is quickly cut off by Hank as he swiftly turns round to face Nick. "The song. He was humming the same song". says Hank "The one on the dead girls iPod". They both turn to see they are being observed from the window by the postman, who suddenly turns away out of sight. The lights in the cabin are suddenly extinguished. Nick and Hank rush toward the door.

Entering the doorway, with weapons drawn, the two detectives quickly fan out and use torches to look for the postman. Hank is knocked over by the postman who then proceeds to attack Nick in his Blutbad form, unseen by Hank, before making his escape through the open cottage door. Hank having recovered shoots the postman four times in the back. The Blutbad is seen falling to the ground, once again changing into the form of the human postman. Nick turns him over and asks "Where is she? Where is she?" to which the postmans final word of reply is "Grimm", before he dies.

Nick and Hank re-enter the cottage shouting Robins name throughout the rooms. Hank leaves to 'call it in' but goes to find the electricity breaker first. Nick looks around the lounge at the mess caused by the struggle and notices water from a toppled vase seeping through the floor boards. Squatting down he hears muffled sounds so lifts the rug to find the trap door. He opens it and calls out to Hank as he descends the stairs to find Robin bound and gagged on the bed. Nick unbinds Robin and tells her they are the police. Robin wraps her arms around Nicks neck, is hugged in return, and is told she is safe, while Hank looks on from the stairs. Nick turns to face Hank as his partner says "I don't know how you did it, but you did." and holsters his weapon. Nick tells Robin they are going to take her home.

Nick sits at the side of Maries hospital bed talking to her as he holds her hand. Marie, still comatose, has respirator tubes attached and lines running from her arms. Nick tells Marie that there are many things he doesn't understand and things he needs to ask her. He loves Juliette and doesn't want anything to happen to her. A doctor is seen entering the room and moving to the other side of a bed. A syringe of liquid is seen being prepared as Nick looks up and recognizes the Doctor as being the young blonde woman he saw earlier. He prevents her from administering the drug to Marie but is accidently injected with it during the struggle. Falling to the floor, into unconsciousness, Nick sees the young woman fleetingly change to the visage of the Hag as she exits the room.

The young woman is seen exiting the hospital via the employee entrance, removing her white doctors coat as she does so. Lightning flashes overhead as she gets into a black SUV driven by Capt. Renard. On hearing that the blonde was unsuccessful at killing Marie because of Nicks interference Renard says it is "unfortunate, but we will just have to try again, and hope that Marie does not wake up first." The car drives off down a wet street.

Marie is shown opening her eyes, as she wakes from her coma.
