Hello Forum,
Many of us are weary of this thread. I have lost some hair, but believe King Frederick has been overlooked. I will bold face parts and comment below:
Quote:Scene: Kenneth, Juliette, and Diana go to the room where King Renard is.
Frederick: Is this really my granddaughter?
Kenneth: It is.
Frederick: I can hardly believe it. Look how much she's grown in such a short time. She truly is special.
Kenneth: May I present Miss Juliette Silverton, without whose help this would not have been possible. Juliette, this is King Frederick Von—
Frederick: That's plenty. I cannot thank you enough. You will be well taken care of. A whole new life awaits you in Vienna. I've always had a soft spot for Hexenbiests. [To Diana] Look at you. You are so beautiful. Come give your grandfather a hug.
[Diana hesitates at first, but she goes over to the King]
Frederick: [Chuckling] Oh, how I have longed to hold this child. At last, where she belongs. [He calls a woman over. To Kenneth and Juliette] You've made me a very happy old man. [To the woman] Feed and bathe her. Dress her properly.
[Kenneth's phone rings]
Woman: Your Majesty.
Frederick: Be sure she's ready to travel.
Woman: [To Diana] Come down. [She takes Diana with her]
Kenneth: It's Rispoli.
Frederick: Put him on speaker. He should be part of our celebration.
Kenneth: [Answering the phone] You're on speaker with the King who would like to congratulate you on a job well done.
Rispoli: We've had a setback. The Grimm got away.
Kenneth: Where is he?
Rispoli: We don't know. We're searching the area now.
Kenneth: Clear everyone out, meet me back at the hotel, and we'll deal with this. [He hangs up. To the King] I promise I'll take care of the Grimm.
Frederick: I suggest you keep that promise.
Kenneth: [To Juliette] Where would he be?
Juliette: He's looking for me.
Kenneth: Then you're coming with me.
Frederick: She stays here. She's done her job, and now you do yours. [Kenneth leaves]
Frederick: So... what is this Grimm like?
Juliette: He won't stop.
King Renard: Frederick is Royal Prince Captain Sean Renard's father. Sean was part of Diana's abduction. He took her from Adalind and turned her over to Kelly Burkhardt.
my granddaughter: Frederick has made an enemy of Sean. Yet he is extremely fond of Diana.
this: Kenneth uses "this" to to summarize the accomplishment of abducting Diana and bringing her to the king. There seems to be agreement that the "Mission" King Frederick included "this."
celebration: The "celebration" is for the accomplishment of the mission. Here is the vital part. What were all the goals of the mission?
job: The job (mission) is
The topic of the call.
setback: Rispoli reveals a "setback" to the mission.
The Grimm got away.: So we know what "setback" happened.
we'll deal with this: Q: When Nick escaped was that a failed fundamental mission goal? Was it a failure of Rispoli to follow Kenneth's orders?:
Quote:Rispoli: Burkhardt is in the house.
Kenneth: Kill him.
Rispoli: He's not alone. There are two people with him.
Kenneth: Doesn't matter, kill them all.
Was the order to Kill Nick from Kenneth or was it a mission goal from the King?
I suggest you keep that promise.: If it was not part of the original mission goals, the King made it clear to Kenneth that he wants Nick dead.
now you do yours: The "job" Frederick repeats is to Kill Nick (the Grimm).
. . . .
IMO, King Frederick recruited Kenneth for a "job." Frederick didn't send Kenneth to Portland, but accompanied him to be certain the mission goal(s) were attained. Upon learning the ambush of Nick had failed, Frederick immediately sent Kenneth to do
his job.
Frederick does not discuss Kelly Burkhardt. I doubt he would ignore Kelly as an insignificant part of the "job." Frederick is pleased with Hexenette's betrayal of Kelly which he recognizes was fundamental in the abduction of Diana. May I assume Frederick wants this mission to succeed and attempted to cover every detail and contingency of the plan with Kenneth? When Frederick learns the Grimm escaped he doesn't ask "what Grimm?" He
immediately sends Kenneth back to do his job. There is no hesitation. He is upset that Kenneth has failed and threatens him "I suggest you keep that promise."
We know Kelly is not just dead, but decapitated. Did Kenneth decapitate Kelly to impress Nick, Hexenette and or Frederick? Kenneth and the Verrat had guns, why not just shoot her and hide the body?
So Forum, did Frederick order Kenneth to kill Kelly Burkhardt? Don't hold your breath since IMO none of those three will be giving depositions.
