Synopsis
Dean drives the Impala while Sam checks online for possible cases or news about their father's whereabouts. Sam munches on a breakfast burrito, spraying crumbs all over his laptop and the car, as he tells Dean that the only things that have happened nearby are a murder for insurance case and a car accident. He's just telling Dean that he hasn't found anything about their dad, either, when Dean grabs the flakey breakfast burrito and throws it out the window. Sam and Dean start to argue about the mess Sam was making, but are interrupted by police sirens and a loud voice telling them to pull over. They think they're being pulled over for littering, but soon find themselves under arrest and back at the police station.
At the police station, Police Chief Rod questions Dean about the deaths of 36 residents of his town. They've all been killed in the last 12 months by the driver of a black Chevy Impala, and he's convinced that Dean has something to do with it. When Dean tells him that this is the first time he's been to his town, the police chief has him thrown into a cell with Sam. Sam has already been interviewed by Rod and he tells Dean that the best they can hope for is a charge of vehicular homicide and a trial where they can prove their innocence. Dean is convinced that there has to be another way, and just as he's taking a blowtorch to the bars on their cell's window, they're interrupted by a young man who introduces himself as Deputy Chief Michael. They're surprised and then in shock when Michael holds up the keys to their cell and springs them. He tells them that he's the younger brother of the police chief, and that he's sorry for his brother's behavior. He then takes them out to their car and flirts with both Dean and Sam for a few minutes before sending them on their way. Just before they leave, Sam asks him why he helped them escape, and his words, "Well, we can't just keep innocent people in jail can we? Besides, the killer may not even be human anymore," give them pause. Still, they leave town, happy to put the whole mess behind them.
