INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – TREATMENT ROOM – DAY

DEAN is on a hospital bed looking up at bright lights.

DOCTOR:
Hold him down.

DEAN:
Hey.

DOCTOR:
Three, two, one, set!

DEAN:
Aaaaargh!

DOCTOR:
Nurse!

DOCTOR (to DEAN):
Just relax.

DEAN:
Where am I?

DOCTOR:
You're at the hospital.

DEAN:
Which one?

DOCTOR:
Sioux Falls General.

A nurse gives DEAN a shot.

DEAN:
Where's my brother? We got to go.

DOCTOR:
He bashed his head quite seriously. He's gone up for an MRI.

DEAN:
Okay. I got to go.

DOCTOR:
You're not going anywhere on this leg, buddy. Relax.

DEAN blacks out.

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – PATIENT ROOM – DAY

DEAN:
Oh, no, no, no.

DEAN pulls a drip out of his arm and tries to get up, but falls to the floor with a yell. His right leg is in a cast.

DEAN:
What?

BOBBY enters the room.

BOBBY:
You okay?

DEAN:
Bobby, you're alive.

BOBBY:
'Course I am. Why are you on the floor?

DEAN:
They gave me morphine. A lot.

BOBBY helps DEAN up.

DEAN:
Hey, look, a monster broke my leg. Oh. Wait...the house. We thought you were dead.

BOBBY:
Well, I ain't. Not yet. But we got to run. This place ain't safe. Where's Sam?

DEAN:
Uh... Head scan, I think.

BOBBY:
Meet me at the ambulance dock, stat. I'll find Sam.

DEAN:
Wait, where? Bobby, I'm a gimp.

BOBBY brings DEAN crutches.

BOBBY:
Hey.

BOBBY pats DEAN’s cheek several times and smiles at him.

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – DAY

DR GAINES is washing his hands. The NURSE from 7.02 Hello Cruel World hands him a towel.

DR GAINES:
You've scheduled dessert, I presume?

DR GAINES’ phone rings. The NURSE takes it out of his gown pocket and holds it to his ear.

DR GAINES:
Yes? The Winchesters?

DEAN exits his hospital room on crutches. BOBBY approaches an orderly who is moving an unconscious SAM on a stretcher and holds up some ID.

BOBBY:
Hold the phone there, son. Who's this?

BOBBY looks at the chart on SAM’s stretcher.

BOBBY:
Yeah, this is the guy. Coverage lapsed. We're shipping him to County.

BOBBY (to unconscious SAM):
Come on, sicko. Let's get you healed up some place a little safer.

DR GAINES and the NURSE stride purposefully down the hallway as DEAN makes his way on crutches. BOBBY pushes SAM on the stretcher. DR GAINES sees DEAN’s empty room. BOBBY and SAM leave the hospital via the ambulance entrance and BOBBY puts SAM’s stretcher in an ambulance.

BOBBY:
Come on, Dean.

Through the ambulance side mirror, BOBBY sees DR GAINES and the NURSE come out of the ambulance entrance door.

BOBBY:
Balls. Come on, Dean. Come on, Dean!

DEAN gets in the passenger seat of the ambulance.

DEAN:
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

BOBBY accelerates away. DR GAINES and the NURSE run after the ambulance for a short distance. DR GAINES takes out his phone.

SUPERNATURAL (Title Card)

ACT ONE

INT. CABIN IN WHITEFISH, MONTANA – DAY (Three weeks later)

SAM is reading at the table and DEAN watching television. On the screen, a woman is crying over a man’s body. BOBBY enters.

DEAN:
Dude...Ricardo.

BOBBY:
What happened?

DEAN:
Suicidio.

BOBBY:
Adiós, ese.

DEAN looks very moved at what has happened on the screen.

BOBBY:
Well, this ought to cheer you up.

DEAN:
My baby! Now I just got to get this stupid thing off and I can drive again.

SAM:
So how is it out there?

BOBBY:
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.

DEAN:
Yeah, and don't forget tried to kill us at your place.

BOBBY:
Well, consensus is they're, um, they're like shapeshifters only a lot more into eating folk. And nothing can kill 'em.

DEAN:
Good times. Anything else?

BOBBY:
Yep. They bleed black goo.

SAM:
Like that stuff that came out of Cass -- those things from Purgatory. Uh...Leviathan.

BOBBY:
Yep.

DEAN:
What about those chompers that you and the sheriff saw at the hospital? They still making spleenburgers?

BOBBY:
Yeah, made some calls. That doctor never showed back up to work. Ditto a nurse and some administrator.

SAM starts to hear voices in his head.

LUCIFER (in SAM’s mind):
You never left, Sam.

DEAN:
So they could be at any hospital in America.

BOBBY:
Yeah.

LUCIFER (in SAM’s mind):
You're still in the cage...with me.

DEAN:
What do you think, Sammy? Sammy? Sam.

LUCIFER (in SAM’s mind):
Sam...

DEAN:
Hey, ground control! Sam!

SAM turns over his left palm and we see the healed wound on his hand.

SAM:
Yeah. What? I'm -- I'm right here.

DEAN:
You okay?

SAM:
Yeah. I'm fine.

There is a long pause.

BOBBY:
Good. Every last bit of info I ever had burned down, so...

DEAN:
What about this place? Rufus leave anything? Did you check the basement?

BOBBY:
C-rations and dust. I don't think he'd been here in years. So, I got to go round up my old library.

SAM:
I thought you said most of those books were one-of-a-kind.

BOBBY:
Yeah. That's why I stashed copies all over the place.

DEAN:
Okay, good. Um... Hey, uh, two-legs. We're fresh out of grub. Want to make a run?

SAM:
Sure. Yeah.

DEAN tosses SAM the keys to the Impala.

DEAN:
Be careful with her, would you? And, uh, Sam?

SAM:
Yeah?

DEAN:
Pie.

SAM:
Obviously.

SAM leaves.

DEAN:
So?

BOBBY:
So what?

DEAN:
Before you bail again -- "Girl, Interrupted" over there. Any thoughts?

BOBBY:
Looks to me like he's doing better.

DEAN:
Better? What do you mean, better? You just saw him!

BOBBY:
Saw him check out once. That's progress.

DEAN:
You're kidding!

BOBBY:
Look, seems to me that Sam's head ain't no different than your leg. People heal on a curve.

DEAN:
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.

BOBBY:
It ain't like he's keeping secrets. What you see is what you get. What's so nuts about calling an upswing?

DEAN:
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.

BOBBY:
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.

BOBBY leaves.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, please. Here.

SAM hands the CLERK a credit card with the name Lemmy Kilmister. The CLERK swipes the card through the payment machine.

INT. OFFICE – DAY

A MAN is sitting in front of a computer screen and talking on the phone using a headset.

MAN (on phone):
Yes, sir. Do you see any other strange charges on your statement? The May 27th charge to "Mistress Magda," perhaps? Oh. Sorry for asking.

A transaction alert flashes up on his computer screen saying that Lemmy Kilmister has used his card at the Whitefish Gas n’ Sip.

Yeah, no, I-I know what you mean. Yeah, I'm -- I'm still seeing crap that's not real. But, yeah, I'm fine. I mean, I can tell the difference.

DEAN:
Think it's getting better?

SAM:
Honestly? Uh... I don't know. I just know I'm managing it, so... So don't worry.

DEAN:
Where's the pie?

SAM:
I got cake. It's close enough, right?

Some time later, DEAN is asleep on the couch. SAM is reading an article in the newspaper, titled “Victim's fatal wounds ‘signature’ of killer”.

FLASHBACK: EXT. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, 1998 – DAY

YOUNG SAM is reading a newspaper on a bench and talking on the phone.

YOUNG SAM (on phone):
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.

LONG-HAIRED MAN:
Sorry, honey. Price went up. Fifty-five.

WOMAN:
Oh, I don't -- I don't have it.

LONG-HAIRED MAN:
That's too bad. Maybe we can make a little trade. Hmm?

At the sound of police sirens, they hurry away in opposite directions. The MAN hears a noise and stops, but sees nothing and then continues on his way. Someone tackles him to the ground.

LONG-HAIRED MAN:
Aah!

The MAN lies on ground, dead. Blood pools out from the back of his head.

You guys thinking this is another one -- so-called ice pick killer?

POLICE OFFICER:
Same M.O. Can't say I'm too broken up about this one.

SAM:
Oh, you knew him?

POLICE OFFICER:
Busted him half a dozen times. Real mensch.

SAM:
So, what's the deal? Um, killer comes to town, ganks a lowlife, moves along?

POLICE OFFICER:
Looks like.

SAM:
Stabs 'em all exactly the same, right? Behind the ear?

POLICE OFFICER:
Yeah. No explaining a psycho. We left that detail out of the paper, though. How'd you know?

SAM:
I worked a case like this a few years back.

POLICE OFFICER:
Think it's related?

SAM:
You find anything weird about the brains?

POLICE OFFICER:
Like what?

SAM:
Like...missing.

POLICE OFFICER:
Huh. Good question for the coroner.

We don't get too many murders out this way... much less a serial.

SAM:
So what'd you find?

CORONER:
It's what we didn't find. Let me show you. Big chunk of mid-brain went missing.

SAM:
Mid-brain, like pituitary gland?

CORONER:
Actually, their pituitaries were clear gone. How'd you know that?

FLASHBACK: INT. LIBRARY – DAY

YOUNG SAM is sitting at a table with a book, talking on the phone.

YOUNG SAM (on phone):
Yeah, so, they need a steady diet of human pituitary glands to survive.

INT. CORONER’S ROOM – DAY

SAM:
Educated guess.

INT. SAM’S MOTEL ROOM – DAY

SAM is hanging his research on the wall and marking locations on a map.

FLASHBACK: INT. LIBRARY – DAY

YOUNG SAM (on phone):
Hang on. Slow down.

YOUNG SAM is sitting at a desk, marking locations on a map.

YOUNG SAM (on phone):
Right.

So, the victims are located in parks just off the highway.

Just one per town.

That's something.

What?

I-I'm just tired. I've been looking at this for like eight years.

Wait. Hang on.

I'll call you right back.

LIBRARIAN:
Shh!

YOUNG SAM (on phone):
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?

YOUNG SAM straightens his jacket and approaches the BLONDE GIRL, who is sitting at a table. She is wearing a necklace with a crescent moon pendant.

YOUNG SAM:
Um... I just wanted to, you know, say hi and –

No. Go away. It's just, I'm not supposed to talk to boys.

YOUNG SAM nods and turns to leave.

BLONDE GIRL:
I have to go.

BOY 2 puts a hand on the BLONDE GIRL’s shoulder and pushes her against a tree.

BOY 1:
Uh-uh-uh. Why so rude?

Hey. I said be nice.

SAM:
Hi, Amy.

ACT THREE

AMY:
Sam. Wow.

SAM:
Yeah.

AMY:
I just...never thought I'd see you again. What are you doing here?

SAM:
I think you know.

AMY:
You got tall, huh?

SAM:
Small talk? Really? Let’s take a walk.

AMY:
Sam --

SAM:
Walk.

They walk, SAM holding a knife to AMY’s chest.

SAM:
So, same pattern, same victim pool -- just like when we were kids.

AMY:
No, I-it's not what -- look, I'm not -- I've had the same job for the last six years. I-I have a house, two cats, a mortgage. I have a normal life.

SAM:
You call this normal?

FLASHBACK: INT. YOUNG AMY’S HOUSE – DAY

[The Goo Goo Dolls' "Two Days in February" plays]

YOUNG AMY:
Ready to play doctor?

YOUNG SAM is sitting on the couch. YOUNG AMY dabs at his face.

YOUNG AMY:
So, you gonna tell me?

YOUNG SAM:
What?

YOUNG AMY:
How you kicked the crap out of those guys. I mean... no offense, but you're kind of...

YOUNG SAM:
Wiry?

YOUNG AMY:
Exactly. So...?

YOUNG SAM:
Just watch a lot of Bruce Lee movies.

YOUNG AMY:
You thirsty?

YOUNG SAM:
Sure.

YOUNG AMY opens the refrigerator, which contains jars holding brains. She moves a jar and takes out a can of soda.

YOUNG AMY:
So, you live around here?

YOUNG SAM:
No, not really. It's a cool song. My dad doesn't listen to anything recorded after 1979, so...

YOUNG SAM holds the can of soda to his face.

YOUNG AMY:
Does that mean you can't?

YOUNG SAM:
I'm kind of stuck in the car a lot. My dad has to travel. For work.

YOUNG AMY:
Yeah, me and my mom bounce around a lot, too. She's all about, like, "Letting the wind be our guide."

YOUNG SAM:
Like a hippie?

YOUNG AMY:
Minus the peace and love.

YOUNG AMY takes the can from YOUNG SAM, opens it, takes a drink and hands it back to him.

YOUNG SAM:
We're always on the road. I mean, I've seen the world's biggest ball of twine twice.

YOUNG AMY:
Three times. Not that big.

YOUNG SAM:
Right?

They laugh.

YOUNG SAM:
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.

YOUNG AMY:
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.

YOUNG SAM leans forward and they kiss.

EXT. WOODS – NIGHT

AMY:
Sam. What I am, I'm managing it.

SAM:
You spiked three guys this week.

AMY:
No, you don't understand. It's not like that. I'm -- I'm not just some murderer. I had to.

SAM:
Why?

AMY:
I can't -- I just had to. Please believe me, Sam.

SAM:
I can't. I'm sorry.

SAM reaches into AMY’s pocket with his left hand.

AMY:
So am I.

AMY knocks the knife out of SAM’s hand and shoves him against a tree. SAM falls to the ground. In his left hand he holds several items from AMY’s pocket.

INT. CORONER’S ROOM – DAY

CORONER:
This is the one he asked to see.

DEAN:
Great, great. Uh, let me ask you, did he do anything to it?

CORONER:
No. He just asked a few questions about the other vics -- missing pituitary glands and so forth.

DEAN:
Son of a bitch.

BOBBY’S CAR – NIGHT

BOBBY (on phone):
Sam's chasin' a what?

DEAN’S BORROWED VEHICLE – NIGHT

DEAN (on phone):
A Kitsune. It's pretty rare. Dad and I hunted one back in '98.

BOBBY’S CAR – NIGHT

BOBBY (on phone):
Vaguely rings a bell.

DEAN’S BORROWED VEHICLE – NIGHT

DEAN (on phone):
Yeah, didn't make our highlight reel.

BOBBY (on phone, V-O):
Well, least now we know he's working a job.

DEAN (on phone):
Yeah, but why pull the Houdini act?

BOBBY (on phone, V-O):
Not a clue.

BOBBY’S CAR – NIGHT

BOBBY (on phone):
What are you gonna do when you catch up?

DEAN’S BORROWED VEHICLE – NIGHT

DEAN (on phone):
I got a few ideas.

INT. AMY’S HOUSE – NIGHT

AMY puts clothes in a suitcase and lays framed photos, including one of a child, face down. She turns and sees SAM.

AMY:
How did you find me?

SAM holds up a receipt.

SAM:
You dropped this. "Amy Pond," huh? Cute name. You weren't kidding about the mortgage.

AMY:
Sam...

SAM sees blood on AMY’s hand.

SAM:
Wait, that's fresh. That's not mine. So, you killed again!

AMY:
You think I wanted to?

SAM:
I think you better tell me exactly what you're doing, or I have to kill you whether I want to or not!

AMY:
I can't. Sam, you know me.

SAM:
No, I knew you. But that was a long time ago.

AMY:
No, you know me. You know the kind of person I am.

FLASHBACK: INT. YOUNG AMY’S HOUSE – DAY

YOUNG SAM and YOUNG AMY break their kiss. YOUNG SAM tries to set the can of soda on the coffee table, but it falls off and spills.

YOUNG AMY:
Oh! Crap.

YOUNG SAM:
Sorry. I didn't mean to.

YOUNG AMY:
It's just, if she sees it, you know, my mom will be so pissed.

YOUNG SAM:
Yeah. It was just an accident.

YOUNG AMY:
Yeah, well, she has a temper. Sometimes. It's...no big deal.

YOUNG SAM:
My dad does, too. You don't want to see him when he's drinking.

YOUNG AMY:
My mom... I don't think she's a good person. Sometimes I don't think I'm a good person, either.

YOUNG SAM:
You are.

YOUNG AMY:
Don't be so sure.

YOUNG SAM puts his hand over YOUNG AMY’s.

YOUNG SAM:
I've been around enough bad to know good when I see it.

YOUNG AMY:
It's just she has this... whole plan for me, but...I don't want to be like her, you know?

YOUNG SAM:
I don't want to be like my dad, either.

INT. AMY’S HOUSE – NIGHT

SAM:
All right. So then tell me what's going on.

AMY:
Drop the knife and I'll show you.

SAM:
Show me and I'll drop the knife.

AMY:
Don't move.

AMY opens the door to a room in which a child is sleeping.

AMY:
This is Jacob... my son. I've built a life here, Sam. I'm...in the PTA. I'm boring.

SAM:
But you're still feeding.

AMY:
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 –

SAM:
He needed fresh meat.

AMY:
It worked. After the last one, his fever broke.

SAM:
Amy --

AMY:
It's over.

SAM:
You can't guarantee that.

AMY:
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.

FLASHBACK: INT. YOUNG AMY’S HOUSE – DAY

YOUNG SAM:
Amy, I --

YOUNG AMY:
Hide!

YOUNG SAM:
What?

YOUNG AMY:
Quick!

YOUNG AMY shuts a closet door behind YOUNG SAM. AMY’S MOTHER enters.

YOUNG AMY:
Hey.

AMY’S MOTHER:
They caught up.

YOUNG AMY:
Who caught up?

AMY’S MOTHER:
Couple of pros in a piece-of-crap Impala. We're leaving.

YOUNG AMY:
But, Mom --

AMY’S MOTHER:
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.

AMY’S MOTHER walks towards the closet where YOUNG SAM is hiding.

YOUNG AMY:
Okay. Gas up the van. I'll pack.

YOUNG SAM draws his knife in the closet.

AMY’S MOTHER:
Good girl.

AMY’S MOTHER leaves.

YOUNG AMY:
Awesome first date, huh? Look, I'm sorry you got to go like this, but... What's wrong? Look, I know my mom's --

YOUNG SAM:
No, I just have to go. I'm sorry.

YOUNG SAM sees a brain in a jar on a table.

YOUNG AMY:
Oh, that -- that's nothing! That's just...

YOUNG SAM lifts his knife.

YOUNG AMY:
Sam?

YOUNG SAM:
It's my dad and brother in the Impala. You're a monster.

YOUNG AMY:
You're a hunter. So... You're supposed to kill me? And I'm supposed to kill you?

YOUNG SAM:
I guess.

YOUNG AMY:
Sam, I've never killed anyone. And I don't want to hurt you. Do you want to hurt me?

YOUNG SAM:
No.

YOUNG AMY:
Then run. If my mom finds you, she'll kill you. Just run. Please, 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.

SAM gets a can of soda from the refrigerator and holds it to his head.

SAM:
Dean, look, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm fine.

DEAN:
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?

SAM:
Dean, I left you a note. There was a job in town.

DEAN:
A Kitsune. Yeah. Yeah. No, I know. And you ignore Bobby and I's phone calls why, exactly?

SAM:
Because I wanted to take care of it. And I did. I took care of it.

DEAN:
Really?

SAM:
Yes.

DEAN:
Where's the body?

SAM:
There is no body.

DEAN:
Why not?

SAM:
Because I let her go. She's gone.

DEAN:
You what? Why?

FLASHBACK: INT. YOUNG AMY’S HOUSE – DAY

YOUNG SAM opens the front door to leave YOUNG AMY’s house. AMY’S MOTHER is standing outside. She grabs him and forces him backwards.

YOUNG AMY:
Sam!

AMY’S MOTHER:
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?

YOUNG AMY:
He's my friend.

AMY’S MOTHER:
No, he's not.

YOUNG AMY:
Sam!

AMY’S MOTHER:
Shut up! What is wrong with you, huh? You that stupid? Really? I already told you, you cannot have friends. This kid is food!

YOUNG AMY:
No!

AMY’S MOTHER lets go of SAM and backhands YOUNG AMY. AMY’S MOTHER raises a fist to SAM.

AMY’S MOTHER:
This'll teach you.

AMY’S MOTHER’S fingernails extend into long, pointed claws, then change back to normal. YOUNG AMY has stabbed her from behind.

INT. SAM’S MOTEL – NIGHT

DEAN:
You never told me that.

SAM:
I never told anyone. I mean, can you imagine what Dad would have done?

DEAN:
So you saw the article in the newspaper, and you just bolted.

SAM:
It was my mess.

DEAN:
And you call letting her go cleaning it up?

SAM:
She killed her own mom, Dean, to save me.

DEAN:
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.

SAM:
Nothing in our lives is simple.

FLASHBACK: INT. YOUNG AMY’S HOUSE – DAY

YOUNG SAM:
You have to run. Amy! Do you have cash?

YOUNG AMY nods.

YOUNG SAM:
I-I want you on the first bus out of town. Tonight.

YOUNG AMY:
But what about --

YOUNG SAM:
I'll take care of her. Just go!

YOUNG AMY:
Come with me. We don't have to be alone. We can be freaks together, Sam. Sam...

YOUNG SAM:
I can't. I'm sorry.

YOUNG AMY:
So am I.

INT. SAM’S MOTEL – NIGHT

DEAN:
Look, man, I get it, okay? You meet a girl, you feel that spark -- there's nothing better. But this freak?

SAM grabs his jacket and gets up from a chair at the table.

DEAN:
I didn't mean –

SAM:
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.

DEAN:
Sam --

SAM:
I'm not going off. Look, I might be a freak, but that's not the same as dangerous.

DEAN:
I didn't say –

SAM:
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.

DEAN:
Is she? How?

SAM:
She works at a damn funeral home so she doesn't have to kill anyone, Dean. She's figured out how to deal.

DEAN:
Okay, well, then explain the bodies.

SAM:
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.

DEAN:
Okay.

SAM:
Seriously?

DEAN:
Got to start sometime, right?

ACT FIVE

EXT. PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF A BIGGERSON’S RESTAURANT – DAY

DEAN is on the phone and SAM is walking towards him carrying a shopping bag.

DEAN (on phone):
Bozeman. Right.

Got it. Thanks.

DEAN:
That was Bobby. We'll hole up in Spokane tonight. We'll meet him tomorrow. Why don't you drive?

DEAN tosses SAM the keys to the Impala.

SAM:
You gonna punch me again?

IN IMPALA OUTSIDE MOTEL – DAY

DEAN:
Hey, why don't, uh -- why don't you check us in? I got to hit the candy store.

DEAN holds up a bottle of pills.

DEAN:
Doctor's orders.

SAM gets out of the car. DEAN slides over to the driver’s seat and drives off.

INT. AMY’S MOTEL – DAY

AMY enters. DEAN is sitting on the couch in her room.

DEAN:

Next time you run, you should change your license plates. Keeping the same tags makes you easy to track.

AMY:
Who are --

DEAN:
I'm Sam's brother. And you are Amy Pond, the Bozeman mortician who went missing. There's people looking for you.

AMY:
Sam sent you?

DEAN:
Sam doesn't know I'm here.

AMY:
But he told you. My son --

DEAN:
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.

AMY:
I won't. I swear.

DEAN:
Trust me, I'm an expert. Maybe in a year, maybe ten. But eventually, the other shoe will drop. It always does.

DEAN stabs AMY.

DEAN:
I'm sorry.

DEAN catches AMY as she falls and lowers her to the bed. He removes his knife, then turns to see AMY’S son JACOB standing at the door.

DEAN:
You got someone you can go to?

JACOB nods.

DEAN:
You ever kill anyone?

JACOB shakes his head.

DEAN:
Well, if you do, I'll come back for you.

JACOB:
The only person I'm gonna kill is you.

DEAN:
Well, look me up in a few years. Assuming I live that long.

DEAN holds up his hands, one still holding the knife, and walks towards the door. AMY’S SON hurries to his mother’s body. DEAN pauses at the door and watches them.

INT. WHITEFISH MT GAS & SIP STORE – DAY

POSSESSED MAN (on phone):
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.

The CLERK is tied to a chair and gagged.

POSSESSED MAN:
Do you know what I find? Plain old people taste fine, but everything is better... with cheese.

The POSSESSED MAN pours a pot of hot cheese over the CLERK. The CLERK screams and the POSSESSED MAN’S mouth transforms: it enlarges, his teeth become long and jagged, and a two-pronged tongue protrudes.
