SAM: Hey, Dean... I mean, why didn't you just tell me you went to a boys' home?

; SCENE -- Driving in the Impala driving to SONNY'S HOME FOR BOYS
Sign for SONNY'S HOME FOR BOYS. DEAN pulls up by and parks between some farm fields and stops in front of a house.
SAM: You were here for two months and Dad couldn't find you?
DEAN: Oh, no. He found me. He found me quick. But he left me here 'cause I lost our money.
Somebody is watching from an upstairs window.
SAM: You were 16. You made a mistake.
DEAN: Yeah. ''I'' made the mistake. (getting out of the car.) Look, I know how you think. None of this was Dad's fault.
The person watching from an upstairs window is a small boy with glasses, clutching a doll / an action figuredoll.
DEAN and SAM go to the front door and knock. A middle-aged woman, with a sweater and a large cross on a necklace, answers the door. She folds her arms and looks at them.
DEAN swallows, taken aback; SAM coughs.
DEAN: No. Uh ... you mind telling him that we're here?
RUTH, after a pause: I'll go get him. (She turns around, then as they are about to follow her in, turns back to them to say: ) I just mopped this floor, so you take off those roach stompers.
SAM and DEAN look down at their boots and kick them off.
DEAN: What, and we're such angels? Trust me, he's more than made up for it.
They enter the house. DEAN looks at the couch in the living room, and has a couchmemory ...
SONNY: So what'd he take?
DEPUTY BILLY: Get this -- peanut this—peanut butter and bread.
SONNY looks at YOUNG DEAN assentinglyassessingly, sitting cuffed on the couch.
SONNY: Okay. And how about family?
YOUNG DEAN laughs.
DEPUTY BILLY to YOUNG DEAN: You think that's funny?
YOUNG DEAN: I think you're slow.
YOUNG DEAN: You wish!
SONNY: Come on, now ! (yellingloudly, to get their attention)! (then, more calmly: ) Billy, I got this, buddy. It's all right.
DEPUTY BILLY , calmer, leaves. YOUNG DEAN waves goodbye sarcastically.
SONNY: You shouldn't do that, kid.
YOUNG DEAN: Yeah? Why? Because he's a cop?
SONNY: Because when you make him mad, he leaves with the key.
SONNY: Eh, don't sweat it.
Sitting in front of YOUNG DEAN, he SONNY takes his cuffed hands to open up the cuffs. YOUNG DEAN's forearms are bruised and red, as if he was bound bruised or injuredabraded by bindings or ligature marks.
SONNY (noting the marks with concern): Deputy do that? (YOUNG DEAN scoffs and shakes his head.) What, your old man? (YOUNG DEAN shakes his head no.) Well, then, how'd you get it?
YOUNG DEAN (turning back to SONNY, somewhat defiantly): Werewolf.
SONNY looks at YOUNG DEAN for a long moment, realizing he's not going to get a different answer from the kid.
SONNY: Okay. (and SONNY turns back toward the cuffs, opening up the cuffs them with the paperclip. Freeing him, and removing them. SONNY stands up and starts walking out of the room. Freed, YOUNG DEAN shakes his hands and stands up too.
DEAN: So, how do you know I won't just run away?
