"I'm having a difficult time figuring out what's real." " Hallucinations?" " Sometimes I see Lucifer." "Wait, are you seeing him right now?" "Let me see your hand." "I was with you when you cut it." "I sewed it up." "This is real." "There are things much older than souls in purgatory, and you gulped those in, too." " I can't hold them back!" " Hold who back?" "Leviathan!" " Those whatever-you-call-'ems..." " Leviathan." "If they're in the pipes, they got themselves a highway to anywhere." "Something's eating folks down at Sioux Falls General Hospital." "A few of us in the right positions, and we could feast every single day." "I'll meet you at the house." "We can regroup." "That place was torched." "Somebody knew what they were doing." " Bobby!" " Oh, no." "I got two males... one with a head trauma, one with an open compound tibia fracture." " On route to Sioux Falls." " Sioux Falls General?" "You got to take us somewhere else." "Anywhere!" "Please!" "Hey, so maybe I'm not real." "But I'm not going anywhere, Sam." "Sammy?" "You stay with me, you hear?" " He's seizing." " Sammy!" "Hold him down." "Three, two, one, set!" "Nurse!" "Just relax." " Where am I?" " You're at the hospital." " Which one?" " Sioux Falls General." " Where's my brother?" "We got to go." " He bashed his head quite seriously." " He's gone up for an MRI." " Okay." "I got to go." "You're not going anywhere on this leg, buddy." "No." "Oh, no, no, no." "What?" "You okay?" " Bobby, you're alive." " 'Course I am." "Why are you on the floor?" "They gave me morphine." "A lot." "Hey, look, a monster broke my leg." "Wait... the house." "We thought you were dead." "Well, I ain't." "Not yet." "But we got to run." "This place ain't safe." "Where's Sam?" " Head scan, I think." " Meet me at the ambulance dock, stat." " I'll find Sam." " Wait, where?" "Bobby, I'm a gimp." "Hey." "You've scheduled dessert, I presume?" "Yes?" "The Winchesters?" "Hold the phone there, son." "Who's this?" "Yeah, this is the guy." "Coverage lapsed." "We're shipping him to county." "Come on, sicko." "Let's get you healed up someplace a little safer." "Come on, Dean." "Balls." "Come on." "Come on, Dean." "Come on, Dean!" "Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!" " Dude..." "Ricardo." " What happened?" "Suicidio." "Adiós, ese." "Well, this ought to cheer you up." "My baby!" "Now I just got to get this stupid thing off and I can drive again." "So how is it out there?" "Weird with a side order of bloody." "Talked to a few hunters." "They're running into the same kind of thing that set up shop at that hospital." "Yeah, and don't forget tried to kill us at your place." "Well, consensus is they're, um, they're like shapeshifters only a lot more into eating folk." "And nothing can kill 'em." "Good times." "Anything else?" " Yep." "They bleed black goo." " Like that stuff that came out of Cass... those things from purgatory." " Leviathan." " Yep." "What about those chompers that you and the sheriff saw at the hospital?" "They still making spleenburgers?" "Yeah, made some calls." "That doctor never showed back up to work." "Ditto a nurse and some administrator." "You never left, Sam." "You never left, Sam." "What do you think, Sammy?" "Sammy?" "Sam." " Sam..." " Hey, ground control!" "Sam!" "Yeah." "What?" "I'm right here." " You okay?" " Yeah." "I'm fine." "Good." "Every last bit of info I ever had burned down, so..." "What about this place?" "Rufus leave anything?" " Did you check the basement?" " C-rations and dust." "I don't think he'd been here in years." "So, I got to go round up my old library." "I thought you said most of those books were one-of-a-kind." "Yeah." "That's why I stashed copies all over the place." "Okay, good." "Hey, uh, two-legs." "We're fresh out of grub." "Want to make a run?" "Sure." "Yeah." "Be careful with her, would you?" "And, uh, Sam?" "Yeah?" "Pie." "Obviously." " So?" " "So" what?" "Before you bail again, "Girl, Interrupted" over there." "Any thoughts?" "Looks to me like he's doing better." "Better?" "What do you mean, better?" "You just saw him!" "Saw him check out once." " That's progress." " You're kidding!" "Look, seems to me that Sam's head ain't no different than your leg." "People heal on a curve." "Not diff..." "Bobby, I get this thing off in five days, I'm golden." " Sam's not a curve." "He's a frickin' time bomb." " It ain't like he's keeping secrets." "What you see is what you get." "What's so nuts about calling an upswing?" "Because that's not how it works, Bobby, ever!" "All right?" "Especially not with Sam." "The other shoe is gonna drop." "It's just a matter of when." "Okay." "How 'bout we worry about today's problems?" "And today, we need intel." "I'm going." "You sit there and stew." "I'll check in." "Look... you sitting here wringing your hands ain't gonna do nothing." "Maybe he'll surprise you." " Hey." " Hey." "Paper, too?" "Yeah." "Yeah, please." "Here." "Yes, sir." "Do you see any other strange charges on your statement?" "The May 27th charge to "Mistress Magda," perhaps?" "Sorry for asking." "We're gonna have to call you back." " Yes?" " Yes, sir." "The Winchesters have triggered one of my search programs." " Great." " A shop in Montana, about a day and a half, maybe two days from here." "So?" " So?" " So, why are you still talking to me?" " Thank you." " Yep." "Where's Bobby?" " He take off?" " Yeah." "Hey, Sam, how you doing?" "Fine." "I mean, you still, you know..." "Yeah, no, I know what you mean." "Yeah, I'm still seeing crap that's not real." "But, yeah, I'm fine." "I mean, I can tell the difference." "Think it's getting better?" "Honestly?" "I don't know." "I just know I'm managing it, so..." "So don't worry." "Where's the pie?" "I got cake." "It's close enough, right?" "Yeah, so, from what I can tell, it's something called a Kitsune." "Not much." "They..." "look human... till they sprout out claws and stab you behind your ear to get to your brain." "I don't..." "I don't know yet." "Yes, Dean, I realize killing 'em's important." "Maybe if Uncle Bobby sent a book in English." "I am!" "No, no, don't..." "don't put him on the phone." "Hi, Dad." "Yes, sir." "I realize people are dying." "Yeah, I'm on my way to the library right now." "Sorry, honey." "Price went up." "$55." "Oh, I don't..." "I don't have it." "That's too bad." "Maybe we can make a little trade." "Other shoe!" " Other who?" " Sam." "He took off." " Where?" " I don't know." "Nowhere good." " Well, maybe he needed a little "me-time."" " Yeah, but his me-time ain't just him." "I mean, for all we know he's road trippin' with Lucifer somewhere." "Left me here like Jimmy friggin' Stewart." " I assume you called." " Straight to voicemail." "He turned his GPS off, too." "And he took my car!" " Don't panic." " Too late!" "Look, he says he's okay, so give it a couple of days." "Just till you get the cast off... then hunt him down." "Till then, we'll both just keep calling." "All right." "You're goin' down." "You guys thinking this is another one..." "so-called ice pick killer?" "Same M.O. Can't say I'm too broken up about this one." " Oh, you knew him?" " Busted him half a dozen times." " Real mensch." " So, what's the deal?" "Killer comes to town, ganks a lowlife, moves along?" "Looks like." "Stabs 'em all exactly the same, right?" "Behind the ear?" "Yeah." "No explaining a psycho." "We left that detail out of the paper, though." " How'd you know?" " I worked a case like this a few years back." "Think it's related?" "You find anything weird about the brains?" "Like what?" "Like... missing." "Good question for the coroner." "Right." "Thanks." "How you doing?" "Was there a big guy in here yesterday?" "That's specific." "I mean big." "Like about yea high?" "Maybe." " Brown hair?" " Yes, yes." "That's him." " Do you remember what he bought?" " Snacks, maybe?" "How about a paper?" "Do you have yesterday's paper?" "Yeah, right there." "Do you mind?" "We don't get too many murders out this way... much less a serial." " So what'd you find?" " It's what we didn't find." "Let me show you." "Big chunk of mid-brain went missing." "Mid-brain, like pituitary gland?" "Actually, their pituitaries were clear gone." "How'd you know that?" "Yeah, so, they need a steady diet of human pituitary glands to survive." "Educated guess." "Hang on." "Slow down." "Right." "So, the victims are located in parks just off the highway." "Just one per town." "That's something." "What?" "I'm just tired." "I've been looking at this for like eight years." "Wait." "Hang on." "I'll call you right back." "Triple Red Eye, please." "Okay." "Triple Red Eye." "Thanks." "You stab it in the heart." "Stab it in the heart." "I said, you stab it in the heart!" "Okay." "Are you guys cool?" "Can I have a normal life for five minutes now?" "Oh, Dean." "Quick question... how do you talk to girls?" "I just wanted to," " you know, say hi and..." " No." "Go away." "It's just, I'm not supposed to talk to boys." "Leave me alone." " Come on." "We just want to talk." " I have to go." "Why so rude?" " Don't touch me!" " Hey." "I said be nice." "Why don't you?" "Butt out." "Can you believe this guy?" "Hi." "I'm Sam." "I'm Amy." "Oh, damn it." "Hi, Amy." "Sam." " Wow." " Yeah." "I just never thought I'd see you again." " What are you doing here?" " I think you know." "You got tall, huh?" "Small talk?" "Really?" " Let's take a walk." " Sam..." "Walk." "So, same pattern, same victim pool..." " just like when we were kids." " No, it's not what..." "look, I'm not..." "I've had the same job for the last six years." "I have a house, two cats, a mortgage." "I have a normal life." "You call this normal?" "Ready to play doctor?" " So, you gonna tell me?" " What?" "How you kicked the crap out of those guys." "I mean..." " No offense, but you're kind of..." " Wiry?" "Exactly." "So...?" "Just watch a lot of Bruce Lee movies." " You thirsty?" " Sure." " So, you live around here?" " No." "Not really." "It's a cool song." "My dad doesn't listen to anything recorded after 1979, so..." " Does that mean you can't?" " I'm kind of stuck in the car a lot." "My dad has to travel." "For work." "Yeah, me and my mom bounce around a lot, too." "She's all about, like, "Letting the wind be our guide."" "Like a hippie?" "Minus the peace and love." "We're always on the road." "I mean, I've seen the world's biggest ball of twine twice." "Three times." " Not that big." " Right?" "Okay, but be honest..." "I mean, moving all the time sucks." "You're always the new kid, and everyone always thinks you're a freak." "Sam, you are a freak." "But so was, I don't know, Jimi Hendrix and..." "Picasso." "So am I." "All the coolest people are freaks." "Sam." "What I am, I'm managing it." "You spiked three guys this week." "No, you don't understand." "It's not like that." "I'm not just some murderer." " I had to." " Why?" "I can't." "I just had to." "Please believe me, Sam." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "So am I." "This is the one he asked to see." "Great, great." "Let me ask you, did he do anything to it?" "No." "He just asked a few questions about the other vics... missing pituitary glands and so forth." "Son of a bitch." " Sam's chasin' a what?" " A Kitsune." "It's pretty rare." "Dad and I hunted one back in '98." " Vaguely rings a bell." " Yeah, didn't make our highlight reel." "Well, least now we know he's working a job." " Yeah, but why pull the Houdini act?" " Not a clue." "What are you gonna do when you catch up?" "I got a few ideas." "How did you find me?" "You dropped this." ""Amy Pond," huh?" "Cute name." " You weren't kidding about the mortgage." " Sam..." "Wait, that's fresh." "That's not mine." " So, you killed again!" " You think I wanted to?" "I think you better tell me exactly what you're doing," " or I have to kill you whether I want to or not!" " I can't." " Sam, you know me." " No, I knew you." " That was a long time ago." " No, you know me." "You know the kind of person I am." "Oh, crap." "Sorry." "I didn't mean to." "It's just, if she sees it, you know, my mom will be so pissed." " Yeah." "It was just an accident." " Yeah, well, she has a temper." "Sometimes." "It's... no big deal." "My dad does, too." "You don't want to see him when he's drinking." "My mom..." "I don't think she's a good person." "Sometimes I don't think I'm a good person, either." " You are." " Don't be so sure." "I've been around enough bad to know good when I see it." "It's just she has this whole plan for me, but..." " I don't want to be like her, you know?" " I don't want to be like my dad, either." "All right." "So then tell me what's going on." " Drop the knife and I'll show you." " Show me and I'll drop the knife." "Don't move." "This is Jacob... my son." "I've built a life here, Sam." "I'm in the PTA." "I'm boring." " But you're still feeding." " On the dead." "I'm a mortician." "I know." "Not sexy, but, you know, health benefits." "I quietly take what Jacob and I need." "No one gets hurt." "But it can be risky, feeding like that, especially for a kid." "Jacob got sick." "He was dying, and the only way to fight it off was..." " He needed fresh meat." " It worked." " After the last one, his fever broke." " Amy..." " It's over." " You can't guarantee that." "I give you my word." "So, how is spilling more blood gonna help anyone?" "You could still walk away from this." "We both can." "Sam..." "After what I did for you." " Amy, I..." " Hide!" " What?" " Quick!" " Hey." " They caught up." " Who caught up?" " Couple of pros in a piece-of-crap Impala." " We're leaving." " But, Mom..." "I'm only gonna say this once..." "I put the food on this table, so you will do as you are told or I will let you starve." "Okay." "Gas up the van." "I'll pack." "Good girl." "Awesome first date, huh?" "Look, I'm sorry you got to go like this, but..." "What's wrong?" " Look, I know my mom's..." " No, I just have to go." "I'm sorry." "Oh, that's nothing!" "That's just..." " Sam?" " It's my dad and brother in the Impala." "You're a monster." "You're a hunter." "So..." "You're supposed to kill me..." "And I'm supposed to kill you?" "I guess." "Sam, I've never killed anyone." "And I don't want to hurt you." "Do you want to hurt me?" "No." "Then run." "If my mom finds you, she'll kill you." "Just run." "Please, Sam." "Howdy, Sam." "New rule." "You steal my baby, you get punched." "The hell were you thinking, Sam, running off like that?" "I mean, for all I know, Satan could have been callin' your plays." "Dean, look, how many times do I have to tell you?" "I'm fine." "Oh, yeah, no, you're a poster boy for mental health." "You have any idea the kind of horror shows I had going on in my head?" "!" "Dean, I left you a note." " There was a job in town." " A Kitsune." "Yeah." "Yeah." "No, I know." "And you ignore Bobby and I's phone calls why, exactly?" "Because I wanted to take care of it." "And I did." "I took care of it." " Really?" " Yes." "Where's the body?" " There is no body." " Why not?" "Because I let her go." "She's gone." "You what?" "Why?" " Sam!" " I knew you were hiding something." "See, we can never blow town without Amy throwing a bitch-fit." "So agreeing to go peacefully... well." "Who is this?" " He's my friend." " No, he's not." " Sam!" " Shut up!" "What is wrong with you, huh?" "You that stupid?" "Really?" "I already told you, you cannot have friends." " This kid is food!" " No!" "This'll teach you." "You never told me that." "I never told anyone." "I mean, can you imagine what dad would have done?" "So you saw the article in the newspaper, and you just bolted." "It was my mess." "And you call letting her go cleaning it up?" "She killed her own mom, Dean, to save me." "I hear you, Sam." "I do." "But look at her now." "She's dropping bodies, man..." "Which means we got to drop her, no matter how many merit badges she racked up when she was a kid." "I'm sorry, but it's that simple." "Nothing in our lives is simple." "You have to run." "Amy!" "Do you have cash?" "I want you on the first bus out of town." "Tonight." " What about..." " I'll take care of her." "Just go!" "Come with me." "We don't have to be alone." "We can be freaks together, Sam." "Sam..." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "So am I." "Look, man, I get it, okay?" "You meet a girl, you feel that spark... there's nothing better." "But this freak?" " I didn't mean..." " Yeah, you did." "Look, I see the way you look at me, Dean, like I'm... a grenade and you're waiting for me to go off." " Sam..." " I'm not going off." "Look, I might be a freak, but that's not the same as dangerous." " I didn't say..." " It's okay." "Say it." "I've spent a lot of my life trying to be normal, but come on." "I'm not normal." "Look at all the crap I've done." "Look at me now." "I'm a grade-a freak." "But I'm managing it." "And so is Amy." " Is she?" "How?" " She works at a damn funeral home... so she doesn't have to kill anyone, Dean." " She's figured out how to deal." " Okay, well, then explain the bodies." "She's done." "Her friggin' kid was dying, Dean." "Put you or me in her position, we'd probably do the same thing." "Look, you don't trust her." "Fine." "Trust me." "Dean, please." "Okay." "Seriously?" "Got to start sometime, right?" "Bozeman." "Right." "Got it." "Thanks." "That was Bobby." "We'll hole up in Spokane tonight." "We'll meet him tomorrow." "Why don't you drive?" "You gonna punch me again?" "Hey, why don't, uh..." "why don't you check us in?" "I got to hit the candy store." "Doctor's orders." "Next time you run, you should change your license plates." "Keeping the same tags makes you easy to track." " Who..." " I'm Sam's brother." "And you are Amy Pond, the Bozeman mortician who went missing." "There's people looking for you." " Sam sent you?" " Sam doesn't know I'm here." "But he told you." " My son..." " I know." "I know." "But people..." "They are who they are." "No matter how hard you try, you are what you are." "You will kill again." "I won't." "I swear." "Trust me, I'm an expert." "Maybe in a year, maybe 10." "But eventually, the other shoe will drop." "It always does." "I'm sorry." "You got someone you can go to?" "You ever kill anyone?" "Well, if you do, I'll come back for you." "The only person I'm gonna kill is you." "Well, look me up in a few years." "Assuming I live that long." "Yes, sir." "Sam Winchester was definitely here." "Yes." "Every alias we have for them, and I'll find out where they went from here." "I'm only a couple days behind them." "Just grabbing a bite first." "Do you know what I find?" "Plain old people taste fine, but... everything is better... with cheese."
