Opening Quote: "The Demon came home, and he declared that the air was not clear. 'I smell the flesh of man.' " – The Devil's Three Golden Hairs
Jill: This is sort of unusual, what I'm seeing. I am southwest of the Coalman Glacier at about 4.500 feet and this looks to be a fumarole. The ground is unusually warm. Some of the volcanic rock is warm to the touch. Some of the rocks appear to be aphanitic, some have vesicular texture. Where I was expecting to find andesite and dacite, I'm finding what appears to be igimbrite. But I'm just so excited to find this fumarole, which I didn't know existed. [She hears a sound and returns to the car].
Markus: You can't take that!
Jill: What are you doing? Give that back.
Markus: It doesn't belong to you! [Jill uses pepper spray and takes her bag]. Give it back, now. Ahhh! You haven't shown respect.
Jill: Thom, this is Jill. I'm up on Mount Hood. I just got back to my truck and some guy attacked me. No, no, I'm okay, I pepper-sprayed him, but he's still back there. I'm coming in. [Markus woges into a Taurus-Armenta].
Hank: What?
Nick: Stop it.
Wu: Get out.
Nick: You're no longer welcome in this precinct.
Hank: Really?
Renard: Not for three weeks. What are you still doing here?
Hank: I'm just finishing up.
Nick: No, you're not.
Wu: You're on vacation.
Renard: Come on, get the hell out of here.
Hank: I just...
Nick: No. Go. Now.
Wu: I heard he was going to Hawaii.
Renard: I heard it was Mallorca.
Nick: Who cares? He hasn't taken a vacation in four years, and boy, do I need it.
Hank: You just be careful and don't get hurt while I'm gone. Watch his back.
Wu: Watch yours!
Woman: Bye, Hank!
Hank: Aloha! [They drive him away].
Renard: And back to work.
Juliette: No, no. Please, not again.
Nick: Juliette, I'm making some eggs. You want some? [A different Nick appears]. I think we have a problem. [Back to the other Nick]. Good eggs, too. The way you like em, and bacon. [Another Nick appears]. That was the best chicken tagine I have ever watched you make. [Different Nick]. With the ice. There isn't any. No, no. You relax. If you really want the car we should just get it.
Juliette: Stop! Stop! Everybody, stop! [She runs outside]. Get out of here! [She drives away].
Nick: We're looking for Pine Meadows Drive. The house has a name, Owl's Nest.
Juliette: Get out! Get out! [She crashes into a parked car].
Adalind: God, really? [There's a knock on the door]. What is it?
Frau Pech: Fräulein Schade, it's me.
Adalind: It's late. What do you want?
Frau Pech: Get dressed.
Adalind: What? Why?
Frau Pech: We have a meeting with the Zigeunerwortführerin.
Adalind: And who the hell is that?
Frau Pech: Queen of the Schwarzwald-Romas. And it was not easy to arrange.
Adalind: Well, I'm not going.
Frau Pech: You do not want to offend them.
Adalind: I feel like crap.
Frau Pech: If you want to learn the true value of motherhood, it's time to find out how much your little Kind is worth. Wear something warm.
Juliette: Please, no, just get out. Please, just go away.
Nick: Juliette, just take it easy. I just found out about the accident. I got here as soon as I could.
Juliette: Nick?
Nick: Yeah. I, uh... I guess you knocked yourself out. Nobody else was hurt.
Juliette: You're everywhere.
Nick: What?
Juliette: You're in my kitchen, you're in my bedroom, you're in my car.
Nick: Okay, Juliette, it's gonna be okay. I talked to the doctor. You had a small concussion, but you're going to be all right.
Juliette: You need to leave me alone.
Nick: Yeah, Juliette, that is what I've been doing.
Juliette: I don't know what you and your friends did to me, but I'm losing it. You have to understand that I can't see you anymore.
Nick: Okay, okay. I, uh... I just wanted to see how you were doing.
Jill: Hmm. Felt like a 4.3, 4.5. [She hears a noise. The lights go out and Volcanalis attacks her].
Monroe: Oh, come on! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shoot, shoot! You got it. Shoot!
Bud: No, pass it!
Monroe: Take the shot, take the shot!
Bud: No, no, no. Pass it, pass it! [The player misses the goal]. Aah! He should've passed it.
Monroe: He should've made the shot. Right, Nick?
Nick: What?
Monroe: See? He agrees.
Bud: No, he doesn't. He's not even watching the game.
Nick: I'm watching the game.
Monroe: Really? Who's playing?
Nick: Timbers.
Bud: And?
Nick: I have no idea.
Monroe: At least Juliette wasn't hurt in the accident. I mean, in a way, you got hurt worse than she did, the way she treated you like some kind of pariah.
Bud: Hey, hey, I thought we were supposed to be cheering him up.
Monroe: I know. But come on, he has to face...
Nick: What? What do I have to face?
Bud: Nothing, you're not ready to.
Nick: Look, sorry, guys. I... I don't mean to be like this.
Monroe: No, it's okay. It's fine.
Bud: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, we've all been there. Well, maybe not exactly having been forgotten like you've been forgotten.
Monroe: Look, we've certainly all been dumped on, for whatever reason. We don't have to watch the rest of the game if you don't want to.
Bud: What? What? What?
Monroe: We could go to a bar, he might even meet someone new. They'll have the game on there.
Nick: You know what, guys, I think I'm just going to call it a night.
Monroe: Okay, well, see you in the morning. [Nick walks away]. All right, so we completely tanked that one.
Bud: He's hurting. There's not so much you can do about that. Just kind of surprised that a Grimm can hurt like that. But you know, Nick, he's a sensitive Grimm. [Nick's phone rings].
Nick: Yeah, Burkhardt. Yeah. Just text me the address. I'm on my way.
Bud: You got something?
Nick: Dead body.
Monroe: That will take your mind off her.
Bud: Takes my mind off her.
Pilar: [In Spanish]. What's wrong?
Juliette: Everything. Can I come in?
Pilar: Of course you can. It's getting worse, isn't it?
Juliette: I'm afraid to go home...
Nick: What do we got?
Wu: Well, the first part is normal. Victim is Jill Pembrey, a geologist at Eon Industries. She was supposed to pick up Roni Sanchez, a coworker, for dinner. When she didn't show, Sanchez tried to call, then came over, called 911.
Nick: What's the not-normal part?
Wu: Everything else. [They go inside].
Nick: Looks like burn marks. Was there a fire?
Wu: If there was, nothing burned.
Nick: Except her. See that? Looks like hand prints burned into her arms and neck.
Wu: That's some hot hands.
Nick: Let's see what the ME has to say. Any sign of forced entry?
Wu: Don't know if it was forced, but we got the same burn marks on the back door.
Nick: Looks like melted plastic. It was hot in here.
Wu: Got a camera over here. Says "Property of Eon."
Nick: Let's see what's on it. Last thing shot was some video from earlier today. [They watch the video Jill recorded]. Nothing after that.
Wu: One question. What's a fumarole?
Juliette: He's everywhere I go. I can't take it anymore.
Pilar: Drink.
Juliette: Sorry, but that's not so good.
Pilar: Not for your tongue, for your mind. It will help you focus. Right now, everything you have forgotten is fighting for your attention. As the memories become clearer, it's too much for anyone to handle.
Juliette: I know that.
Pilar: You must cut through the web of these memories and choose one.
Juliette: How?
Pilar: Focus on one moment, one memory, and try to be there with it. You must step into your past and reconnect with it. You can't just remember it, you have to become part of it. Now, you must go home and do this.
Juliette: I can't.
Pilar: You have no choice. You must enter your past to fix your present. If you don't... you will have no future.
Stefania: It has been a long time, Frau Pech.
Frau Pech: Too long.
Stefania: Maybe not long enough... We shall see. What is your name?
Adalind: Adalind Schade.
Stefania: Your family has deep roots here, Adalind Schade. I am Stefania Vaduva Popescu, and our roots run even deeper.
Adalind: I'm honored to meet you.
Stefania: Let us talk. Welcome to my home. These are my sons, Dragomir and Lucian.
Adalind: Nice to meet you.
Stefania: They don't speak English very well. To establish the true value of a child, one must establish the bloodline.
Frau Pech: We understand.
Adalind: I can tell you that.
Stefania: Yes, you can say anything, but there's only one way to be sure.
Adalind: And what is that?
Stefania: Blood of the child. [Dragomir and Lucian grab Adalind].
Adalind: What are you doing? No, stop!
Stefania: It's a standard procedure. Which, unfortunately, you have to be awake for.
Adalind: No. No. No!
Thom: It's just so shocking, Jill was one of our best. Doesn't make any sense, her dying like that.
Nick: Where was she working yesterday?
Thom: Up on Mount Hood, taking samples. I don't know if this has anything to do with what happened up there, but she called in yesterday afternoon, said somebody attacked her on the mountain. She pepper-sprayed him.
Nick: Did she report it to the police?
Thom: Well, she called us, and then we called the state park police. We were waiting for a follow up, and now this.
Wu: We'll check with them. Did she give you any description?
Thom: No, not really. Just some kind of crazy eco-freak.
Nick: What was she collecting on Mount Hood?
Thom: Uh, she was taking rock samples, measuring mineral and chemical content. We're looking at geothermal possibilities in the area. She found a fumarole down lower than expected. She was pretty excited.
Wu: Can you tell us where she was?
Thom: How about I show you?
Thom: Jill was single. Had a boyfriend, and they broke up a year ago. His name was Doug Harrigon. He took it pretty hard cause she broke up with him, but I don't think he'd do this to her.
Nick: She have any other relationships?
Thom: Not romantic. Tell you the truth, the love of her life was what she did.
Wu: Huh.
Thom: This is the area where she said he attacked her.
Wu: Where was she taking samples?
Thom: The fumarole's about a quarter mile from here.
Wu: Let's go.
Nick: Have you had any other problems with people or groups who don't want your company here?
Thom: The usual. Letters, a few protesters. But we run a clean company. We've gotten every permit, been to every public hearing. Oh, this is interesting.
Wu: How so?
Thom: A vent in this area indicates the volcano could become more active. This fumarole is showing the magma's heat is increasing. This is too much steam. [Nick hears a sound].
Wu: What?
Nick: Not sure.
Thom: Well, this is what she would have been collecting. [He takes the rocks and returns to the truck]. What the hell? [The truck has smashed windows].
Nick: Now, stay back, we'll take a look.
Wu: Somebody had a bad hair day.
Thom: Never had anything like this happen before, till yesterday.
Wu: I've got cell service, I'm calling it in. This is Sergeant Wu. I'm up on Mount Hood. What road is this?
Thom: Forest Service Road 218.
Wu: Forest Service Road 218. [Nick walks into the forest and encounters Markus].
Nick: Don't move. [Markus woges]. Great. What the hell are you? Wu! I got him! [Nick chases Markus. Wu tackles him].
Markus: You have taken what isn't yours. You have not shown respect. And now you're going to die. You can't stop it. You're all going to die! You have not shown respect.
Stefania: That's enough. [The blood turns blue]. Good news. She didn't lie. Now we don't have to kill her. The blood is Royal.
Adalind: I told you that before.
Stefania: Yes, but the word of a Hexenbiest, even a former one, is cheap. Blood is strong. Now the negotiations for the baby can begin. [She takes a shot of alcohol, Frau Pech does the same. Adalind grabs the bottle as well]. No! What kind of mother are you?
Adalind: The kind that wants the most for my baby.
Stefania: I'm prepared to offer you half a million Euros if it's a boy, 750 if it's a girl. It should be delivered of sound mind and body within 24 hours of the birth. Those are my terms.
Frau Pech: We can get more than that on the open market in Budapest.
Stefania: If you can make it to Budapest.
Adalind: You don't understand. I'm not interested in money.
Stefania: What are you interested in?
Adalind: I want what was taken from me by the Grimm. I want my powers back.
Stefania: What you want, may not be possible.
Adalind: Well, then I guess there's no reason to go to term.
Frau Pech: She does not know what she's saying. Take the money!
Adalind: Those are my terms.
Renard: Markus Hemmings. Arrested numerous times near Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Mount Saint Helens, Mount Lassen, Mount Shasta, for assault and property damage.
Nick: He used to be an archaeologist. Did some teaching, worked for the state... Went off the grid about 15 years ago when his illegal escapades again.
Renard: Sounds like pretty standard eco-warrior stuff, why are you bringing it to me?
Nick: I think he's the one who attacked Jill Pembrey yesterday, before she was murdered in her home.
Renard: You have any physical evidence tying him to the murder scene?
Nick: Not yet. But 15 years ago, his wife, also an archaeologist, went missing. He found her dead under mysterious circumstances. Tried to charge him, but they couldn't prove it. The ME's description of her body matches that of Jill Pembrey.
Renard: Anyone ever do a psych evaluation?
Nick: He's been treated for depression. He's more lucid now he's back on his meds. But... he's Wesen.
Renard: Who isn't these days? Did you get a good look at him?
Nick: Yeah, but I've never seen anything like him.
Renard: Maybe I should help you with this one. You okay with that?
Nick: Alright.
Renard: Good. Let's get him in the room.
Juliette: Okay. I'm, uh... I am ready when you are.
Nicks: And bring some more mustard. I can't find my blue shirt. You look great in that dress. [They start talking through each other].
Juliette: Okay. I can do this. Focus on one moment, one memory, and try to be there with it. You have to step into your past in order to reconnect with it. It's not enough to just remember it, you have to become a part of it.
Nick: Juliette? Could you get the door, please?
Juliette: I remember this. What did I say, what was I saying?
Nick: Juliette! Door!
Juliette: Baby, you're going to hurt yourself.
Nick: It's part of the plan, then you'll have to take care of me. I think these are the encyclopedias. [He carries the boxes inside]. Well, couple more loads should do it.
Juliette: I'm gonna start unpacking them.
Nick: Okay.
Juliette: What?
Nick: You're still okay with us moving in together, right?
Juliette: Are you?
Nick: I don't know.
Juliette: Oh, yeah? You, uh... starting to have second thoughts?
Nick: No. Just one thought.
Renard: Markus Hemmings, we know who you are and we know where you've been.
Nick: We know you attacked Jill Pembrey up on the mountain yesterday. We know she pepper-sprayed you.
Renard: And you didn't like that, did you? So you followed her home and you killed her.
Markus: I didn't kill anybody. I was trying to warn her.
Nick: About what?
Markus: About what would happen if she took what wasn't hers.
Renard: What'd she take?
Markus: His property.
Nick: And who are you talking about?
Markus: I tried to warn her like I tried to warn you. She wouldn't listen. No one ever does. When the earth cries, that's when he wakes.
Renard: You think of yourself as some sort of eco-warrior, is that it? Someone takes something from the earth, you think it's your responsibility to avenge it.
Markus: You don't know what you're talking about.
Nick: Why don't you help us with that, Markus? You know I know what you are.
Markus: Doesn't matter. You don't know what he is.
Renard: Why don't you tell us?
Markus: He's not like anything you've ever seen. He's not like you or me. You think I want to live like this? I do not want to be on that mountain. But I've seen what happens when Volcanalis rises. I've seen the destruction. He wants his revenge, and he won't stop.
Nick: Why don't you tell us about your wife. What happened to her?
Markus: I couldn't save her either. [Nick and Renard leave the room].
Nick: So, do we know who this Volcanalis character is?
Renard: From what I remember, Volcanalis is a priest of Vulcan, the Roman God of Fire.
Nick: According to the ME, Jill Pembrey seems to have cooked from the inside out.
Renard: Like a microwave?
Nick: Don't know, but her organs were well-done. And there's no evidence suggesting that Markus was at Jill Pembrey's house, or that he knew her before. What if there was someone else?
Renard: What, like a Roman God? I highly doubt we can pin a murder on him.
Nick: So, we're doing this one off the books?
Renard: Yeah, might have to. You're good with that?
Nick: Let's just say I've learned to be flexible.
Renard: As have I. [There's a slight earthquake at the precinct].
Wu: Okay. Not the big one. So... I ran all the data on attacks on or around volcanoes. Strangely enough, there are several linked to people taking rocks, which, according to some, are sacred. Mount Saint Helens in Washington, Mount Shasta in California, Kamoamoa in Hawaii, Iliamna in Alaska, Hoodoo in Canada, Mount Bandai in Japan, El Chichon in Mexico, Llaima in Chile.
Nick: I didn't know there were that many volcanoes.
Wu: That's just in what's affectionately known as the Ring of Fire, basically a circle around the Pacific. According to these legends, if you purloin sacred stones, there is hell to pay. Like Pele in Hawaii, not very nice one she's riled up. Not that I believe in such things. However, last time I was in Hawaii, I made sure not to take any rocks. [He leaves].
Nick: Thom took some rocks from the mountain.
Renard: Yeah, after what happened to Jill, we better give her boss a heads-up.
Thom: Angie? Where'd they... oh. [The water is boiling on its own. The lights go out and Volcanalis grabs Thom].
Renard: Police!
Nick: Let him go!
Renard: Police, put him down!
Nick: Don't move. Stay back!
Renard: Stay back! [They shoot, but nothing happens].
Nick: I can't breathe. I'm going after him! [Volcanalis disappears].
Nick: Yeah. Ha! Where should we put this?
Juliette: In the trash.
Nick: This... This is my Elvis lamp. I got it in Mexico.
Juliette: I see that. And that doesn't make it any more valuable.
Nick: I had to drink a lot of mescal and eat a worm for this thing.
Juliette: Nick, you just have to ask yourself one question. Who do you love more? [Nick puts the lamp back in the box]. I'm going to get you a beer to celebrate your break-up.
Nick: Please do. We need to put more than just beer in that fridge. [Juliette is back in the present].
Monroe: I could really use a double Americano right about now. You know? I mean, if we're going to be spending this much time here, you should really invest in a decent sound system and an espresso machine.
Nick: I got something. Taurus-armenta. This is what Markus looked like.
Monroe: Now we know where bull-headed came from.
Nick: Listen to this. "Known for stubbornness and courage in the face of adversity. Many have been found in the front lines, first to volunteer, willing to face down any enemy, with nerves of steel under fire.
Monroe: Hold on. I think I got something on Volcanalis. Right? [Monroe shows the drawings]. I mean, what the hell is that?
Nick: That's what we saw tonight.
Monroe: I'll tell you what, dude, this looks a little bit like what in my book is known as El Diablo.
Nick: What did they write about him?
Monroe: I don't know. It's all in Latin.
Nick: Well, we know someone who speaks Latin.
Renard: "Having encountered the molten beast twice before, I enlisted the help of the High Priest before I had the courage to return up the mountain. Many of the dwellers in Pompeii had removed rocks. When we discovered the bodies of these villagers burnt and blistered, the priest uttered one word before he ran for his life, 'Volcanalis.' Too frightened to face it on my own, I retreated just in time as Vesuvius sought revenge, erupting and burying Pompeii. I returned to Rome where I was to learn that Volcanalis had often been mistaken for that ancient serpent, Satana. But unlike Satana, Volcanalis lived within the mountains of fire, frequently appearing prior to violent eruptions as I had so recently learned." That is quite the history lesson. You have a lot of these books, by the way?
Nick: A few.
Monroe: If he did that to Pompeii, do you think he had anything to do with, like, Mount Saint Helens?
Renard: If he did, I hate to think what he'd do to Portland.
Nick: Assuming what we saw tonight is what's in the book, any suggestions?
Renard: I don't think we'll be able to fight fire with fire on this one.
Nick: Markus knows more about him than anybody.
Renard: Well, it's worth a try. You in?
Monroe: To save Portland? Hell, yeah.
Markus: That's him. Where did you get this?
Nick: That is not important. What is important is we need to find a way to stop him.
Markus: He can't be stopped.
Renard: Well, we have to try. Now, we're going back up the mountain.
Markus: You won't find him.
Nick: We're hoping he finds us after we pick up a few more of his rocks.
Markus: Are you crazy? You saw what happened?
Nick: We want you to go back up there with us.
Markus: Don't you understand? This is a force of nature. Might as well try and stop a hurricane.
Nick: Where does he come from?
Markus: I don't know, somewhere inside the mountain. Trust me, I tried, I could never find out.
Renard: How does he find the ones who steal from him?
Markus: He knows somehow. He's connected to the earth in a way I... I still don't understand.
Nick: Come on, you've been living in the mountains for years. You must have learned something.
Markus: Yeah, I've learned I could stay there till hell freezes over, and it wouldn't make a difference.
Renard: Markus. Now, he killed your wife. Don't you want to do something about that?
Markus: Of course I do. I would give my life to do something about it. I am not afraid of dying.
Nick: I know you're not, Markus. So what's it gonna take?
Markus: What do you mean?
Nick: To make hell freeze over.
Markus: Take the rocks closest to the vent.
Renard: How many?
Nick: A lot. We really want to get this guy's attention.
Monroe: Maybe we should have brought, like, a priest or rabbi or something, you know? Just to be on the safe side.
Markus: There is no safe side.
Renard: Especially not here.
Nick: Let's go.
Monroe: Took the words right out of my mouth.
Monroe: Okay, so what do we do with the rocks?
Markus: Put them in the middle of the room, he'll go for them first.
Monroe: What will he go for second?
Renard: Us.
Monroe: Okay, so, the rocks are in the middle. And, uh... Don't you think you should be stepping a little bit further away from them?
Markus: I stand next to them?
Monroe: What, you mean like bait?
Nick: Yeah.
Renard: Which way will he come from?
Markus: No telling. Hope you're right about hell freezing over.
Nick: Hopefully 346 degrees below zero is enough. [They wait for Volcanalis].
Monroe: I wonder how long before he'll... I mean maybe he won't even... Is it getting hot in here? What the hell? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say hell... [Volcanalis appears and Monroe woges]. Get a grip. Get a grip.
Markus: I stole your rocks, you bastard. Come get me. Come on! You killed my wife, now try me. Now! Do it now!
Monroe: Okay! [Monroe, Nick and Renard hit Volcanalis with nitrogen. He turns to rock].
Renard: Think we should read him his rights?
Nick: Yeah. Last rites. [Markus smashes Volcanalis].
Markus: Thanks. I needed that.
Monroe: Looks like black glass.
Renard: Like obsidian.
Nick: So that's where that comes from.
Monroe: Keeping Portland weird.
Nick: I kept trying to find the perfect moment, but... It never came. I think the thing is we have to make this our perfect moment. Juliette, will you be my wife?
