Storyline

Edit

A man named Leonard "Lenny" Drake is found dead in a garbage truck and Nick and Hank investigate the case. They find blood in the dumpster near his building and a trail of blood to the parking garage. The manager explains that the tenant was a violent man that lived in his apartment with the gorgeous Natalie Havershaw. On the previous night, they had an argument and the tenants Marty Burgess first and the lawyer Mason Snyder then had come to protect her. Marty returned to his apartment while Lenny and Mason continued to argue. Then Mason escorted her to her car and she left the building to check in a hotel. Nick and Hank visit Marty at his junk shop and Nick sees that Marty looked like a mouse. Then they visit Mason and Nick sees that the lawyer looked like a snake. Nick visits Monroe and learns that the creatures are the harmless and cowardly Mauzhertz and the dangerous and lethal Lausenschlange respectively. Then Monroe receives a phone call relative to work and Nick leaves him, but Monroe receives a message instead. When another man is found dead in the dumpster of a repair shop in the same "modus-operandis" Nick believes the cases are connected. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Goofs
After he is attacked in the apartment parking garage, Marty jumps in his car and drives away. When he stops immediately after exiting the garage, his car has raindrops on the body and windows, which it shouldn't, having been under shelter.

Quotes
Juliette Silverton: [after finding a raccoon in their garbage] Don't arrest him, he's just hungry.
Nick Burkhardt: Yeah, well, he's a rodent, and he should be eating what rodents eat.
Juliette Silverton: He's not a rodent. We're all mammals here.
Nick Burkhardt: Well, I'm not eating what he's eating.
Juliette Silverton: Sure you are. You just got to it first.

Sinister Childhood

A man named Leonard "Lenny" Drake is found dead in a garbage truck and Nick and Hank investigate the case. They find blood in the dumpster near his building and a track of blood to the parking garage. The manager explains that the tenant was a violent man that lived in his apartment with the gorgeous Natalie Havershaw. In the previous night, they had an argument and the tenants Marty Burgess first and the lawyer Mason Snyder then had come to protect her. Marty returned to his apartment while Lenny and Mason continued to argue. Then Mason escorted her to her car and she left the building to check in a hotel.

Nick and Hank visits Marty at his junk shop and Nick sees that Marty looked like a mouse. Then they visit Mason and Nick sees that the lawyer looked like a snake. Nick visits Monroe and learns that the creatures are the harmless and coward Mauzhertz and the dangerous and lethal Lausenschlange respectively. Then Monroe receives a phone call relative to a work and Nick leaves him, but Monroe receives a message instead. When another man is found dead in the dumpster of a repair shop in the same "modus-operandis" and Nick believes the cases are connected.

"Of Mouse and Man" is a great episode of "Grimm", with a well resolved story about a harmless man victim of child abuse by his father that feels released after his death. However his trauma does not allow him to get rid of the image of his father. How the "message" received by Monroe will affect his relationship with Nick? My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Sobre Ratos e Homens" ("About Mice and Men")
