"It's Sam, Bobby." "He's different." "Something's not right." "I can't lose you and Ben." "Me and Ben will be here, and you come when you can." " Just come in one piece." " You think we could pull that off?" "It's worth a shot." "Just tell me what the hell is going on." "Stay there." " I thought I heard you." " Stay back!" "Cure's an old Campbell recipe." "At least, you got my back." "No matter what happens, I can always count on you, right, Sammy?" "Of course, Dean." "I'm Ashley Franck..." "He said he'd call, but of course he never did." "I don't know, I just." "We had such a good time." "I should call him, right?" "Do you think?" "Should I call him?" "I don't know." "Olivia, just hold on a sec." "I just need the truth." "That's all." "I gotta go." "Call you later." " I pity you." " I'm sorry?" "You're sad and pathetic, and I pity you." "Only reason I'm giving you a head's up." "Stay away from the clam chowder." "I flavored it with my owns seasoning." "Jane." "You know that new girl, Misty?" "Way hotter than you." "Excuse me?" "Basically, she's an eight, and you're a..." "A three." " Can I get you anything else?" " No, thank you." "I ran over a homeless man once, and I never even stopped to see if he was alive." "I hate mommy." "I want to burn her in her sleep." "I don't know what it is, but you give me the creeps." "Like I get physically nauseous." "You're pathetic." "Desperate." "Stupid." "Mousy." "You're a desperate, pathetic loser." "You're gonna die alone." "Can you come get me?" "You sound awful." "Have you been drinking?" "I think I'm going crazy." "I'm freaking out." "Of course you are." "Cause you are a freak." "You're certifiable." "Every time the phone rings, my stomach drops." "Jane with another crisis." "You're a walking disaster." "The whole family's just waiting for your next big breakdown, Jane." "We're like hostages." "Why don't you just go ahead and kill yourself already?" " I know what I saw, Bobby." " We tested him." "Salt, silver, everything." "He threw me to that vamp." "It's not my brother." "Then he's something we ain't ever seen." "Or it's Lucifer." " Did you call Cass?" " Course I did." "He's not answering." "Screw him." "I can't wait anymore." "I get it." "You're rattled." "You're right to be." " But let's be professional..." " Professional?" " He watched me get turned!" " What you saw..." "Are you sure that's what you saw?" "Damn it, Bobby, yes." "I know." "Well, "you know" ain't the same as proof." " Cause we're talking about..." " Doing something about this, fast." "It's not just the vamp." "He has been different from the jump." " All right." "I'm with you." " Are you?" "I'll hit the books, hard." "Just don't shoot him yet, all right?" "Watch him." "We need facts." "Cause if it ain't Sam..." "We don't know what it is." "And if we're gonna put him down, we need to know how." "I don't wanna ride in the same car, much less work a damn case." "Get in the car." "He's your case." "I was just leaving Lisa a message." "Still hasn't called you back?" "Sucks." "You okay?" " I'm fine." "How are you?" " Me?" "Great." "Here, look." "Check this out." "Think it might be something." "Four people, out of nowhere, all in the last couple of weeks." "What do you say?" " Sounds like a plan." " Let's go." "I don't understand." "Why would federal investigators be interested in a suicide?" "Well..." "It's a new, more caring administration." "I already told the cops." "Jane was having a really bad day," "So, I did what any sister would do." "I tried to cheer her up, you know?" "Told her to hang in there." "You know what a "tell" is?" " Excuse me?" " It's a poker term." "For when you're bluffing." "Like what you just did with your hair." " What are you trying to say?" " You're lying." "Tell us what you did to your sister." "Okay." "You're right." "I was lying." "I wanted to tell her, "I love you." ""I'm here for you."" "But what came out was..." ""You're a burden." "Just kill yourself."" "Who says that?" "I just couldn't stop!" "See anything in the house?" "No hex bags, no sulfur, no EMF." "You?" "A tuba and an issue of Crochet Today." "So, what, already kinda suicidal?" "And then big sis's taxicab confession sends her over the edge." "Question is, what made big sis open her mouth in the first place?" "That is the question." "Can you grab some gauze, please?" "Should've had you prescribe me a Valium." "Just relax." " What is the truth?" " It'll be fine." "I'm Ashley Frank." "I got to be honest, Paul..." "I don't really want to be here." "You and most people." "But you know what?" "I don't take it personally." "Okay, open up." "You and Donna should come over for supper." "How long has it been?" "There." "Worst part's over." "I'm not really into Donna anymore." "She's old." "Your wife looks great for her age." "Her saggy skin makes me want to hurl." "I have urges, you know." "Remember that camping trip I missed 'cause I was sick?" "Well, I wasn't." "I was just afraid to be around Melissa." "My daughter Melissa?" "But then..." "She spent the night for Jill's slumber party." "It just seemed so easy, you know?" "What are you saying?" "It's not so much I couldn't control myself." "I just knew I wouldn't get caught." "And I didn't get caught." " Did you find anything?" " I've been up all night lookin'." "Nothing fits." " Awesome." " You got anything else to go on?" "My skin crawls being in the same room with him." " Why don't you look that up?" " I'm working on it." "I don't know how much longer I can do this." "Figure out what he is and fast." "I'm trying." "But, Dean, there's a worst-case scenario." "What, Satan's my co-pilot?" "I know." " Well, that'd be the other worst case." " Well, then what?" "Maybe it's just Sam." "I gotta go." "You got a day, Bobby, and then I'm handling this." "There was another one." "Dentist drilled a guy to death." "You mean the non-sexy kind of drilling, right?" "50 bucks he's mixed up in the crazy." " You think?" " Let's go talk to him." "Go ahead." "I'll catch up." "I'm gonna do a little research." "You sure?" "We got to know what we're up against, right?" "Good idea." "Thanks a lot." "Anything from marathon man?" "Not exactly." "He hung himself before I got to him." "But he was definitely involved." "Just got the scoop from his assistant." "Let's say the stuff that his patient was confessing to..." "I'd have murdered him, too." "So, root canal and Russian roulette..." "Both of 'em, it's like they were cursed, right?" "People are just compelled to puke the truth?" "Getting hit with the ugly truth, you go postal?" "I'd call that a curse." "Do me a favor, I'm going to the morgue." "Take the dentist's office, see what you see." "No problem." "Jane and Dr. Conley." "I heard." "Awful." "What do I have to do with it?" "You're the only thing they have in common." " Did they say anything before they..." " Sorry." "Not really." "Right." "I was just fishing." "Thanks." "By the way, how 'bout my horn?" " Sorry?" " Stolen horn?" "Right." "We're working on it." "Well, I hope so." "Thing's one-in-a-billion." " What makes it one-in-a-billion again?" " It's a museum piece." "And near as anyone can tell, about a thousand years old." " Where's it from?" " No one knows." " When did it get swiped?" " About..." "Two weeks ago, same day Jane died." "Castiel?" "Hello?" "Possible loose nuke down here, angelic weapon." "Kinda your department." "You hear that, Cass?" " Hello, Dean." " Are you kidding me?" "I have been on red alert about Sam, and you come for some stupid horn?" "You asked me to be here, and I came." "I've been asking you to be here for days, you dick!" "I didn't come about Sam because I have nothing to offer about Sam." "Great, because for all we know, he's just gift wrap for Lucifer." "No, he's..." "He's not Lucifer." "And how do you know that?" "If Lucifer escaped the cage, we'd feel it." "What is wrong with him?" "I don't know, Dean." "I'm sorry." "What happened to you, Cass?" "You used to be human, or at least like one." "I'm at war." "Certain..." "Regrettable things are now required of me." "And Gabriel's Horn of Truth?" "That's a real thing?" " You've seen it?" " We think." "Something's forcing people..." "You're welcome!" "It isn't the Horn of Truth." "You were gone two seconds." "Where did you look?" "Everywhere." "Right." "Well, nice seeing you, anyway." "About your brother, I..." "I don't know what's wrong with him, but I do want to help." "I'll make inquiries." "Thanks." "Now, I'd actually like to see all the suicides that came in this week." "Not just Dr. Giggles." "Is that gonna be a problem?" "Well, they're already gone." " As in transferred?" " Not exactly." "Would you tell me what's going on, or should I have a chat with your supervisor?" "They're gone." "As in..." "Gone gone?" "... Predatory prices." "Here's the facts." "Tune in weekdays for the newest addition to our award-winning local team." "Find out the truth about your layaway living room." "Another one?" "No, thanks." "I'm working." " What's up?" " All the bodies are gone." "What, they just vanished?" "That's what the coroner said." "But I got a lead." "One of the missing bodies, she died a week before everybody else." " Suicide?" " Reported as an accident, but possibly." " That would make her our patient zero?" " I'm thinking maybe." "Whatever got this whole curse thing rolling started with her." "I'm at her place now, corner of Burnham and 159th." "Give me 10." "You know what?" "I will have that other one." " Thought you were working." " I am working up to it." "You okay?" "Not really." "I talked to local experts to bring you the truth." "On me." "Anything else I can get you?" "I'd just like the freakin' truth." "But I'll settle for another one." "Sometimes I think I can't get pregnant cause God knows my marriage is a sham." "Why'd I say that?" "I've been snorting oxy all day." "Why'd I say that?" "I'm pretty sure I know." "I am Ashley Frank..." "I've got to go." "I'm sitting like this so you'll look at my breasts." "I just bought them." "I need a lot of attention." "Good luck with that." " Anything you're itchin' to tell me?" " Not really." "Sorry to disappoint." "That's all right." "I'm just testing a theory." "Well, I'm here hittin' the books while drinking a nice glass of milk and watching Tori  Dean." "Wait, who and Dean?" "Tori Spelling." "I'm a huge fan." "Girl's a real talent." "I guess it does work over the phone." "You know what else?" "I get a pedicure once in a while..." "This nice Vietnamese joint." "Please stop." "This one gal, Nhung Phuong..." "Her name means "velvet Phoenix."" "Tiny thing, but the grip on her." "She starts on my toes, and I feel like I am gonna..." "Come on, m..." "Now I'm scarred for life." "Thank you." "I never told anyone that." "Why am I telling you?" "Maybe cause you're my favorite." "Although, Sam's a better hunter." "Lately, anyway." "Why am I telling' you this?" " Because I'm cursed." " Cursed?" "How is it that half the time you clean a mess, you end up dirty?" "This might be the best thing that's happened to me." "What do you mean?" "Dean, what damn fool move are you about to..." "I gotta go." "D'you know my first girlfriend turned out to be a..." "It's Sam." "Leave me a message." "Sam, it's me." "Listen, I'm on my way to you, but if you get this before then, give me a call back." "There's a few things I wanna ask you." "So, why is there an investigation for a car accident?" "It wasn't an accident." "Corey committed suicide." "You know..." "I wondered." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "So, you had some idea Corey might have taken her own life?" "Well..." "She had been going through a bit of a hard time lately..." "At school." "And then, her cat, Mittens, had just ran away." "But, really" "It was her boyfriend." "She was sure that he was cheating on her." "But he was just very good at covering his tracks." "Which, of course, made her completely obsessed with..." "Finding out the truth." "You mind if I check her room?" "So, I saw you called." "It's been crazy." "Ben won't even talk about it." "Lisa, I'm sorry, but this is actually the..." "Worst time in the universe to talk." " Can we do this later?" " You shoved my kid, Dean." "How about we do this now?" "It wasn't like that." "Then how was it?" "I can't really explain." "You want to know the truth?" "Probably not." "You've got so much buried in there, and you push it down, and you push it down." "Do you honestly think that you can go through life like that and not freak out?" "Just, what, drink half a fifth a night and you're good?" "You knew what you signed up for." "But I didn't expect Sam to come back." "And I'm glad he's okay." "I am." "But the minute he walked through that door, I knew." "It was over." "You two have the most unhealthy, tangled-up, crazy thing I've ever seen." "And as long as he's in your life, you're never gonna be happy." "That came out so much harsher than I meant." "It's not your fault." "I'm not saying don't be close to Sam." "I'm close to my sister." "But if she got killed," "I wouldn't bring her back!" "I'm not gonna lie." "Me and Sam, we..." "We've got issues." "No doubt." " But you and Ben..." " Me and Ben can't be in this with you." "I'm sorry." "Sorry, Mittens." " Where you been?" "I found something." " It can wait." "We got to talk." "What's up?" "There's a few things I want to ask you, and you're gonna tell me the truth." "Of course." "What are you talking about?" "Are you saying you're..." "I asked for the truth." "You know what?" "I'm getting it." "So, like I said, I have a few questions for you." "When that vamp attacked me, why did you just stand there?" "I didn't." "I froze." "You froze." "You have been Terminator since you got back." "I don't know." "Shock?" "Then, it was too late." "I feel terrible about it." "Believe me." "Dean..." "I can't lie here." "You think I'd let something like that happen on purpose?" "You're my brother." "How could you even..." "Sorry." "I thought I saw something." "I guess I was wrong." "It's just been a really, really bad day." "It's okay." "I got your back, all right?" "I always have." "Thanks, Sammy." "So this was the chick's pet?" "Well, she was obsessed." "I think you mean crazy." "All right, so, cat skull, grains-of-paradise seed, devil's shoestring." "Mix 'em well, you got yourself a summoning spell." "Demon?" "God." "Corey was so desperate for the truth about her boyfriend's cheating heart, she went digging around." "Nothing, so she went looking for a different kind of help." "Opened a door she couldn't close." "Now anyone in town who asks aloud for the truth invokes Veritas." "And she doesn't just give it to you, she slams you with it until you kill yourself and she gets her tribute." "So, all that tribute vanishing from the morgue." "What do you think, Soylent-Green situation?" "Gods got to eat, too." "Which means we got to take her out or you're on the menu." "All right, well, what do we know, besides crazy cat lady?" " Well, dogs are her Achille's heel." " Naturally." "And she was a pretty hands-on goddess back in the day." "Her thing was coming down from the mountain to speak truth to the masses." "More than tribute, she wanted to be worshipped." "An attention whore." "If you want to put it that way." "And what is the 21st-century version of speaking truth to the masses?" "So you really think this God is slumming as some farm-league Diane Sawyer?" "Call it a hunch." "I'm Ashley..." "I'm Ashley Frank, bringing you Frank Talk." "Let's do that again." "I'm Ashley Frank, bringing you Frank Talk." "Again." "I'm Ashley Frank." "Are organic fruits and veggies really worth the cost?" "She's creepy." "I mean, the hair alone." "Maybe there's nothing." "Hold on." "Check this out." "Zoom in on that." "Looks pretty normal, right?" "I'm sure inside it's chock full of creep." "Ready?" " And that's...?" " Dog's blood." "Do I wanna know where you got that?" "Probably not." "All right, let's do this." "So where's all the creep?" "You came for dinner." "Sit tight." "You're up next." "The tongue..." "Is the tastiest part." "It's where the lies roll off." "I cannot wait to eat yours." "I mean, I've seen liars before, but you two?" "Gold standard." "Point of professional pride." "I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you." "You know what happens when you base your life on lies, right?" "The truth comes along and..." "So, while you've still got your tongue," "God knows you've got an earful." "I think it's your turn to spill some." "How 'bout we play a little truth or truth?" "What should we ask Dean first?" "Something..." "Personal about you?" "Dean, I'm curious." "What do you really feel about your brother?" "Better now." "As of yesterday, I wanted to kill him in his sleep." "I thought he was a monster." "But now I think..." "Now you think what?" "He's just acting like me." "What do you mean?" "It's the gig." "You're covered in blood until you're covered in your own blood." "Half the time, you're about to die." "Like right now." "I told myself I wanted out..." "That I wanted a family." "But you were lying." "But what I'm good at..." "Is slicing throats." "I ain't a father." "I'm a killer." "And there's no changing that." "I know that now." "So, Sam walking back into your life must have been a relief." "Mallory to your Mickey." "And how do you feel about the band getting back together?" "Look." "What we do..." "Is hard." "But..." "We watch out for each other." "And that's what's important." "And that's it." "That's the truth." "No, it's not." " You said yourself, I can't lie." " How are you doing that?" "That's not possible." "You're lying to me!" " No, I'm not!" " What are you?" "What is he?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Really?" "I doubt that." "I doubt anything that comes out of your mouth right now." "You're not human." "What?" "You didn't know that?" "Now, that I believe." " Dean, it's me." " You are not my brother." " Just listen." " What are you?" "It's me, Dean." "Look, please, just let me explain." " Why should I believe what you say?" " You want the truth?" "Here it is." "God's honest." "She was right." "There's something wrong with me." "I've known it for a while." "I lied to you." "And I let you get turned by that vamp." "Because I knew there was a cure, Dean, and we needed in that nest!" " And I knew you could handle it!" " Handle it?" "I could've died!" "I could've killed Ben." "And that should stop me cold." "But I just don't feel it." " You what?" " Ever since I came back..." "I am a better hunter than I've ever been!" "Nothing scares me anymore!" "Cause I can't feel it." "I don't know what's wrong with me." "I think..." "I need help."
