"You chose a demon over your own brother, and look what happened." "I did it." "I started the apocalypse, and I set, Lucifer free." "I'm sorry." "I would give anything..." "anything to take it all back." "I know you would." "If we're gonna be a team, you and I," "It has to be a two-way street." "We got to just grab on to whatever's in front of us," "Kick its ass, and go down fighting." "I can get on board with that." "Jimmy?" "I told you to go to bed." "I can't." "I'm dead." "What is this..?" "Ketchup?" "Gross!" "Ow!" "You're mean." "Yeah, that's what your parents pay me for... to be mean." "Bed... now!" "Okay, okay." "Just wait." "Wait." "I'll go to bed if you let me touch your boob." "Oh!" "Go!" "I'll, uh, take, Amber home." "Don't wait up." "Amber." "Amber." "Amber?" "Francine!" "Agents, Page and Plant, FBI." "Gentlemen, what brings you by?" "We need to see Amber Greer's body." "Really?" "What for?" "The police report said something clawed through her skull?" "You didn't read the autopsy report" "That I, e-mailed out this morning?" "W-we had, uh, server issues." "When they brought her in," "We thought she was attacked by a wolf or something." "Or something." "But we were wrong." "Is that a..." "It's a press-on nail." "We found it in her temporal lobe." "Is that even possible?" "Wait, are you... you saying that she did this to herself?" "Uh-huh." "She scratched her brains out." "It'd take hours, and it'd hurt like hell," "But sure... it's possible." "How?" "Pick your acronym..." "OCD, PCP." "It all spells, "crazy."" "My guess..." "some kind of phantom itch." "I mean, an extreme case, but..." "Phantom itch?" "Yeah." "All it takes is someone talking about an itch... or thinking about one, even and suddenly you can't stop scratching." "Thanks, doc." "Okay." "Okay, now, some of these questions might seem a bit odd, but please just bear with me." "Have you noticed any cold spots in the house?" "Uh... no." "Okay, uh, what about strange smells?" "Whatcha lookin' for?" "Don't know yet." "It's, uh..." "Jimmy, right?" "So, Amber was your babysitter?" "Yes, sir." "Yeah, most of my babysitters sucked, especially Ms. Chancey." "She only cared about two things..." ""dynasty" and bedtime." "Did you, uh, you see anything strange that night?" "No, sir." "You sure about that?" "I-I would tell you if I knew something." "I promise... 100%." "Cross my heart." "Well, Jimmy, I, uh I happen to know you're lying." "I'm not." "We gonna start talking truth, or are you and me gonna have to take a little trip downtown?" "Kid said he put this on the babysitter's hairbrush." "Dean, there's no way itching powder made that girl scratch her brains out." "It's just ground-up maple seeds." "If you have any other theories, I'm open to 'em." "Yeah?" "Yeah, we'll be right there." "Dr. Morris, please dial 1-1." "What happened?" "Guy got electrocuted." "Any idea how?" "Eh, maybe a loose wire or a piece of equipment shorted out." "So far, we haven't found anything." "Witnesses?" "Yeah, guy in there, Mr. Stanley." "He says he saw it, but he's not making a lick of sense." "Senile." "Thanks." "Um, Mr. Stanley?" "It was just a joke." "I didn't know it would really work." "What would work?" "All I did, was shake his hand." "You ready?" "Hit it, Mr. Wizard." "That'll do, pig." "What the hell?" "That crap isn't supposed to work." "This thing doesn't even have batteries." "So... so, what?" "Are... are we looking at cursed objects?" "Sounds good." "Maybe there's a powerful witch in town." "Is there any link between the, uh," "The joy buzzer and the itching powder?" "Uh, one was made in, China, the other, Mexico, but they were both bought from the same store." "Hmm." "Sam!" "Welcome to the conjurarium, sanctum of magic and mystery." "You the owner?" "Yep." "You sold any itching powder or joy buzzers lately?" "Yeah, a grand total of one of each." "They aren't exactly big-ticket items." "Look, you boys here to buy something or... what?" "So, you get many customers?" "Kids come in." "They don't buy much, but they're more than happy to break stuff." "These days, all they care about are their, iPhones and those, kissing-vampire movies." "The whole thing makes me just..." "Angry?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I am angry." "This shop has been my life for 20 years, and now it's wasting away to nothing." "Which is why you hate them." "I suppose." "You wish there was something you could do about it." "Yeah, I guess I do." "So you're taking revenge with this." "Aah!" "No!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh." "Something tells me this guy is not a powerful witch." "Yeah." "Sorry." "Sorry." "I'll just slip this tooth under your pillow, and while you're asleep, the tooth fairy will float down and swap it out for a quarter." "So some freak is gonna come in my room while i'm sleeping and take my tooth?" "Sounds scary." "No, thank you." "Come on." "Good night, sweetie." "Shh!" "Hold still." "You might feel just a little..." "Pinch." "Well, I, uh, appreciate that," "Nurse..." "Fremont." "Please... call me "Jen."" "Oh. "Jen" it is." "What's up with toothless?" "Cavity creeps get a hold of him?" "Yeah." "Close." "He wrote up a description, 5'10", 350 pounds," "Wings, and a pink tutu." "Said it was the tooth fairy." "So he's obviously whacked out on painkillers." "Maybe." "Whatever it was got past locked doors and windows" "Without triggering the alarm." "Come on, the tooth fairy?" "And it left 32 quarters underneath his pillow, one for each tooth." "Well, I will see your crazy and raise you some." "There's a couple of kids upstairs with stomach ulcers, say they got it from mixing pop rocks and coke." "Another guy... his face froze that way." "What way?" "He, uh, held it too long, and it... it stuck." "They're flying in a plastic surgeon." "So, I mean, if you add all that up..." "I got nothing." "I thought sea-monkeys were real." "They are, they're brine shrimp." "No, no, no, I mean like in the ads." "You know, like the sea-monkey wife cooks the pot roast for the sea-monkey husband, and the sea-monkey kids play with the dog" "In a sea-monkey castle, real." "I mean, I was 6, but I believed it." "Okay." "Point is... maybe that's the connection." "The tooth fairy, the pop rocks and coke," "The joy buzzer that shocks you, they're all lies that kids believe." "And now, they're coming true." "Okay, so whatever's doing this is... is reshaping reality." "It has the powers of a god." "Or... of a trickster." "Yeah, with the sense of humor of a 9-year-old." "Or you." "Dude, seriously..." "still with the ham?" "We don't have a fridge." "Well, I found something." "Here." "Um, tooth fairy attack was here, pop rocks and coke was here, then you've got itching powder, face freeze, and joy buzzer..." "All located within a 2-mile radius." "So, we got a blast zone of weird, and inside, fantasy becomes reality." "Looks like." "And what's the a-bomb at its center?" "Four acres of farmland..." "and a house." "Our motel isn't in that circle, by any chance?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Oh, d-dude..." "That's not what I think it is, is it?" "I got bored, that nurse was hot." "You know you can go blind from that, too." "Give me five minutes." "We'll go check out that house." "Yeah." "Hey, do not use my razor!" "Can I help you?" "Hi." "Uh, what's your name?" "Who wants to know?" "The, uh FBI." "Let me see that." "So, what, you guys don't knock?" "Are your parents home?" "They work." "Well, you mind if we ask you a few questions," "Maybe take a look around the house?" "I don't know." "Come on." "You can trust us." "We're the authorities." "What's that?" "It's called soup." "You heat it up, and you eat it." "Right." "I-I know." "It's just, um..." "I used to make my own dinner, too, when I was a kid." "Well, I'm not a kid." "Right." "No, I-I know." "Um..." "I'm, Robert, by the way." "Jesse." "Jesse, nice to meet you." "Did you draw this?" "It's the tooth fairy." "That's what you think the tooth fairy looks like, huh?" "Yeah, my dad told me about him." "Huh." "What, didn't your dad tell you about the tooth fairy?" "My dad?" "My dad told me different stories." "Well, the tooth fairy isn't a story." "What do you know about itching powder, Jesse?" "That stuff will make you scratch your brains out." "Pop rocks and coke?" "You mix them, and you'll end up in the hospital." "Everyone knows that." "You shouldn't have that." "Why not?" "It can electrocute you." "Actually, it can't." "It's just a wind-up toy." "It's totally harmless." "Doesn't even have batteries." "So, it can't shock you?" "Nope, not at all." "I swear." "Oh." "Okay." "I mean, all it does is just shake in your hand." "It's kind of lame." "See?" "What did you say your name was, again?" "Dude, what the hell?" "I had a hunch." "I went with it." " You risked my ass on a hunch?" "!" " You're fine." "Besides, now we know who's turning this town into willy wonka's worst nightmare." "The kid." "Yeah, everything, Jesse believes comes true." "He thinks the tooth fairy looks like, Belushi," "Joy buzzers really shock people." "Boom, that's what happens." "Yeah, but convince him the joy buzzers don't actually work, and they go from killing machines back into crap toys." "He probably doesn't even know he's doing it." "How is he doing it?" "So, dug up what I could on, Jesse Turner." "It's not much." "Uh, "B" student, won last year's, pinewood derby." "But get this." "Jesse was adopted." "His birth records are sealed." "So you unsealed them, and...?" "There's no father listed," "But, Jesse's biological mom is named, Julia Wright." "She lives in, elk creek, on the other side of the state." "Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested." "Ohh, we're not salesmen." "Agents, Page and Plant, FBI." "Put your badge in the slot." "Your partner's, too." "What do you want?" "Thank you." "Um..." "We just had a few questions..." "about your son." "I don't have a son." "He was born, March 29, 1998, in, Omaha." "You put him up for adoption?" "What about him?" "We were just wondering, um, was it a was it a normal pregnancy?" "Was there anything strange?" "Stay away!" "Mrs. Wright, wait!" "We just want to talk!" "You're not demons?" "How do you know about demons?" "I was possessed." "A demon took control of my body, and I hurt people," "I killed people." "That... that wasn't you." "But I was there." "I heard a woman beg for mercy." "I... felt a young girl's blood drip down my hands." "That's how you knew about the salt." "Yeah, I picked up tricks." "It was in my head for months." "How many months?" "Nine." "So your son..." "Yeah... the whole time the pregnancy, birth... all of it." "I was possessed." "The night the baby was born, I was alone." "And the pain was..." "the pain was overwhelming." "I-I screamed, and it came out a laugh... because the demon was happy." "It used my body to give birth to a child." "When it was over, something changed maybe the, the demon was tired" "Or if the pain helped me fight it, but somehow, I took control," "and the demon wailed inside me." "It pounded against my skull." "I thought, my head was gonna explode." "But..." "I knew." "I knew what I had to do." "And when I was alone with the baby... a part of me..." "Part of me wanted to kill it." "But, god help me, I couldn't do that." "So..." "I put it up for adoption... and I ran." "Who was the father?" "I was a virgin." "Have you seen my son?" "Is he human?" "His name's, Jesse." "He lives in, uh, Alliance." "He's a good kid." "So, now what?" "We need help." "I take it you got our message." "It's lucky you found the boy." "Oh, yeah, real lucky." "What do we do with him?" "Kill him." "Cass." "This child is half demon and half human, but it's far more powerful than either." "Other cultures call this hybrid Cambion or Katako." "You know him as the anti-christ." "That wasn't me." "Who put that there?" "Anyway, I don't get it." "Jesse is the devil's son?" "No, of course not." "Your bible gets more wrong than it does right." "The antichrist is not, Lucifer's child." "It's just a demon spawn." "But it is one of the devil's greatest weapons in the war against heaven." "Well if, Jesse's a demonic howitzer, then what the hell's he doing in, Nebraska?" "The demons lost him, they can't find him but they're looking." "And they lost him, because...?" "Because of the child's power." "It hides him from both angels and demons for now." "So he's got, like, a force field around him." "Well, that's great, problem solved." "With, Lucifer risen, this child grows strong." "Soon, he will do more than just make a few toys come to life." "Something that will draw the demons to him." "The demons will find this child." "Lucifer will twist this boy to his purpose and then, with a word, this child will destroy the host of heaven." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Wait." "You're saying that... that Jesse's gonna nuke the angels?" "We cannot allow that to happen." "Wait." "We're the good guys." "We... we don't just kill children." "A year ago," "You would have done whatever it took to win this war." "Things change." "Okay." "Hey, look, we are not going to kill him, all right?" "But we can't leave, Jesse here either, we know that." "So..." "We take him to, Bobby's." "He'll know what to do." "You'll kidnap him?" "What is going on in this town," "It's what happens when this thing is happy." "You cannot imagine what it will do if it's angry." "Besides, how will you hold him?" "With a thought, he could be halfway around the world." "So we..." "So we tell him the truth." "You say, Jesse's destined to go dark side... fine." "But he hasn't yet." "So if we lay it all out for him... what he is, the apocalypse, everything..." "He might make the right choice." "You didn't." "And I can't take that chance." "Damn it." "Oh." "Sorry, I'm sorry." "It's... it's no worries." "You okay?" "Yeah, it's just today..." "a little... shaky." "Ah well, talking to the Winchesters will do that to you." "Don't you recognize me, sweetheart?" "Huh?" "We had some great times together, didn't we?" "And then you stole something from us, hid it away." "That was very, very naughty of you." "So we watched, and we waited and now..." "They told you where he is, didn't they?" "I think it's time we go and visit our son." "Don't be afraid." "I won't hurt you." "Mom!" "Dad!" "Your mother and father are sleeping." "I assure you, they won't wake until morning." "I'm sorry." "Was there a guy here?" "In a trench coat?" "Was he your friend?" "Him?" "No." "I did that." "But how did I do that?" "You're a superhero." "I am?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I mean, who else could turn someone into a toy?" "You're superman..." "Minus the cape and the go-go boots." "See, my... my partner and I," "We work for a secret government agency." "It's our job to find kids with special powers." "In fact, we're here to take you to a hidden base in, South Dakota," "Where you'll be trained to fight evil." "Like the, X-Men?" "Exactly like the, X-Men." "In fact, the, uh, guy we're taking you to..." "He's even in a wheelchair." "You'll be a hero." "You'll save lives, you'll get the girl." "Sounds like fun, right?" "They're lying to you." "Stay right there, dreamboat." "Can't hurt you." "Orders." "You, on the other hand?" "Hurting you's encouraged." "Leave them alone!" "Jesse." "You're beautiful." "You have your father's eyes." "Who are you?" "I'm your mother." "No, you're not." "Mm-hmm." "You're half human..." "Half one of us." "She means demons, Jesse!" "Those people you call your parents, they lied to you, too." "You're not theirs... not really." "My mom and dad love me." "Do they?" "Is... is that why they leave you alone all day?" "Because they love you so much?" "These people..." "these imposters..." "They told you that the tooth fairy was real and that your toys could hurt you and a hundred other things that aren't true." "They love you so much, they made your whole life a lie." "Look into your heart, Jesse." "You've always known you weren't theirs." "You've always known you were different erveryone has lied to you." "They're not, FBI agents," "and you're not a superhero." "Then what am I?" "You're powerful." "You can have anything you want." "You can do anything you want." "Don't listen to her, Jesse!" "They treated you like a child." "Nobody trusted you, everybody's lied to you." "Doesn't that make you angry?" "See?" "It does make you angry." "But, I'm telling you the truth, Jesse." "Wouldn't it be better if there were no lies?" "Come with me... and you can wash it all clean." "Start over." "Imagine that..." "A world without lies." "She's right, we lied to you." "But I'll tell you the truth." "I just went... to tell..." "Stop it." "I want to hear what he has to say." "You're stronger than I thought." "We lied to you." "And I'm sorry." "So here's the truth." "I'm, Sam Winchester." "That's my brother, Dean." "W-we hunt monsters." "Except when you are the monster." "Right, Sammy?" "And that woman right there, her name is, Julia." "She's your mother." "But the thing inside of her," "The thing that you're talking to..." " It's a demon." " A demon?" "He's done nothing but lie to you since the moment you met him." "Don't listen to him." "Punish him." "Sit down and shut up." "There's, uh, kind of a... a war between, angels and demons and... you're a part of it." "I'm just a kid." "You can go with her if you want." "I can't stop you, no one can." "But if you do..." "Millions of people will die." "She said I was half demon." "Is that true?" "Yes." "But you're half human, too." "You can do the right thing." "You've got choices, Jesse." "But if you make the wrong ones," "It'll haunt you for the rest of your life." "Why are you telling me this?" "!" "Because I have to believe someone can make the right choice, even if I couldn't." "Get out of her." "How did you do that?" "I just did." "Kid you're awesome." "Ahh." "Is she gonna be all right?" "Eventually." "Look, uh, truth is," "He's kind of a buddy of mine." "Is there any way you could turn him back?" "He tried to kill me." "Right, uh..." "But he's a... he's a good guy." "He was just confused." "Okay." "It's been a long night." "We'll... talk about it later." "What now?" "Now we take you someplace safe," "Get you trained up." "You'd be handy in a fight, kid." "What if I don't want to fight?" "Jesse." "You're powerful." "More powerful than..." "Pretty much anything we've ever seen." " That makes you..." " A freak." "To some people, maybe but not to us." "See, we're kind of freaks ourselves." "I can't stay here, can I?" "No." "The demons know where you are, and more will be coming." "I won't go without my mom and dad." "There's nothing more important than family." "We get that and if you really want to take them with you," "We'll back your play." "But you got to understand... it's gonna be dangerous for them, too." "What do you mean?" "Our dad..." "He would take us with him wherever he went." " Where is he now?" " Dead." "A demon killed him." "Look, Jesse..." "Once you're in this fight you're in it till the end," "Win or lose." "What should I do?" "We can't tell you." "It's your choice." "It's not fair, I know." "Can I go see my parents?" "I, um..." "I need to... say goodbye." "Sure." "He's been up there a long time." "He's gone." "Where?" "I don't know." "Jesse put everyone in town back to normal... the ones still alive." "Then he vanished." "Hey." "What does it say?" "That he had to leave to keep his parents safe," "That he loves them, and he's sorry." "How do we find him?" "With the boy's powers, we can't." "Not unless he wants to be found." "You think, Jesse's gonna be okay?" "I hope so." "You know, we destroyed that kid's life by telling him the truth." "We didn't have a choice, Dean." "Yeah." "You know, I'm starting to get why parents lie to their kids." "You want them to believe that the worst thing out there is mixing pop rocks and coke... protect them from the real evil." "You want them going to bed feeling safe." "If that means lying to them, so be it." "The more I think about it... the more I wish dad had lied to us." "Yeah, me too."
