Supernatural

Dad wants us to pick up where he left off...

...saving people, hunting things, the family business.

Still running credit-card scams? -Think credit card fraud's easy?

Okay, Mr. Burkowitz.

-Federal marshals. -Environmental majors.

Father Simmons. U.S. Wildlife Service.

-Nigel Toughnell. -Dr. Jerry Kaplan.

-Reporters. -Art dealers.

-Students. Homeland Security.

Pretty illegal, even for us.

SWAT team discovered a local woman bound and gagged.

Her attacker, a white male, approximately 24 to 30 years of age...

...was discovered hiding in the home.

-Shapeshifter? -Every culture has a shapeshifter lore.

Legends of creatures who can transform themselves into animals or other men.

Hey.

Cops are blaming this Dean Winchester guy...

...for Emily's murder.

-Sorry I'm gonna miss it. -What?

How many chances will I have to see my own funeral?

Under what name?

Oh, yeah, that's my favorite so far.

Possible IDs in three states that we know of.

I gotta call you back.

Well...

...first I thought you were just stepping up your game.

Credit card fraud...

...breaking and entering. Now, this one puzzled me.

Grave desecration.

But still, these are a long way from murder.

Then we get a fax from St. Louis.

Where you're suspected of torturing and murdering a young woman.

However, no one could prove anything, of course...

...because, supposedly, you died there.

Hands where I can see them. -But I gotta tell you something.

You look pretty healthy to me.

So now we know Karen Giles wasn't the first person you murdered.

Going somewhere, Sam?

But I guarantee you, she's the last.

Thought you might be thirsty.

Okay, so you're the good cop.

-Where's the bad cop? -He's with your brother.

Okay. And you're holding us why?

He's being held on suspicion of murder.

-And you? We'll see. -Murder?

You sound genuinely surprised. Or are you that good of an actor?

-Who's he supposed to have murdered? -We'll get to that.

You can't just hold us here without charges.

Well, actually, we can for 48 hours.

But you, being a pre-law student, would know that.

I know all about you, Sam.

You're 23 years old, no job, no home address.

Your mother died when you were a baby.

Your father's whereabouts are unknown.

And then there's the case of your brother, Dean.

Whose demise was, well, just a little bit exaggerated.

Feel free to jump in whenever you like.

Shy? No problem, I'll keep going.

Your family moved around a lot when you were a kid.

Despite that, you were a straight-A student.

Got into Stanford with a full ride.

Then, about a year ago, there was a fire in your apartment.

One fatality, Jessica Moore, your girlfriend.

After she died, you fell off the grid.

Left behind everything.

I needed some time off.

To deal.

So I'm taking a road trip with my brother.

How's that going for you?

Great.

I mean...

...we saw the second largest ball of twine in the continental U.S.

Awesome.

We ran Dean's fingerprints through AFIS.

-Okay. -Got over a dozen possible hits.

Possible hits. Which makes them worthless.

But makes you wonder. What are we gonna find when we run your prints?

Yeah. Well, you be sure to let me know, all right?

May I?

-Please. -Great.

Sam, you seem like a good kid.

It's not your fault Dean's your brother.

We can't pick our family.

Right now, detectives in St. Louis are exhuming a corpse.

They're trying to figure out how your brother faked his own death...

...after torturing all those young women.

Dean's a bad guy.

His life is over.

Yours doesn't have to be.

You want me to turn against my own brother?

No. We already caught him cold.

Red-handed at the Karen Giles murder scene.

We just need you to fill in some missing pieces.

Why would I do that?

Because I can talk to the DA.

Make a deal for you.

You can get on with your life.

Dean's as good as gone.

My dad and Tony Giles were old friends.

They were in the service together.

We've known him since we were kids, you know.

We came when we heard about his death.

There you go.

-Anthony Giles. -Who's Anthony Giles?

A Baltimore lawyer.

Working late at his office. Check it out.

Ah....

His throat was slit, but the room was clean.

-No DNA, no prints. -Keep reading. It gets better.

"Security cameras failed to capture footage of the assailant."

-Somebody tampered with the tapes-- -Or it's an invisible killer.

My favorite kind.

-What you think, Scully? Check it out? -I'm not Scully. You're Scully.

No, I'm Mulder. You're a redheaded woman.

So...

...would've been hard for Dean to kill Tony...

-...considering we weren't in town. -Tell me what happened next.

Okay, that's when we went to see Karen.

She was barely holding it together.

We just wanted to be there for her, you know.

Insurance.

I totally forgot about the insurance.

We're very sorry to bother you right now...

...but the company is required to conduct its own investigation.

-You understand? -Sure.

Okay. If you could just tell us anything...

...you remember about the night your husband died.

Tony and I were supposed to have dinner.

He called and said that he was having computer troubles...

...and he had to work late.

That was it.

You have any idea who could have done this?

No. No. It's like I told the police, I have no idea.

Did Tony mention anything unusual...

...to you in the days before his death?

Unusual?

Yeah, like strange.

-Strange? -You know, Karen, weird.

Weird noises...

...visions, anything like that?

-Ahem. -What?

He had a nightmare the day before he died, but--

What kind of a nightmare?

He said that he woke up in the middle of the night.

There was a woman standing at the foot of the bed.

He blinked, she was gone. I mean, it was just a nightmare.

Did he say what she looked like?

What the hell difference does it make what she looked like?

It's just our company's very thorough.

He said she was pale and she had dark red eyes.

So I gave Karen a hug.

Told her to call me if she needed anything, and that was it.

End of story.

Sam, I am trying to help you here.

But you have got to be honest with me.

Now, we have an eyewitness.

Someone who saw two men...

...fitting your and your brother's description breaking into Giles' office.

Look, Karen called us later, said there was stuff she wanted...

...from Tony's office, but the police weren't letting her in.

Like a picture of the two of them in Paris, and some other stuff.

Look, it was wrong to enter a crime scene, but she gave us the key.

Hey.

Anthony Giles' body was found right about here.

"Throat slit so deep, part of his spinal cord was visible."

What do you think?

Vengeful spirit, underline vengeful?

Yeah, maybe.

I mean, he did see that woman at the foot of his bed.

Hey, look at this.

Dana Shulps?

What's that? A name?

I don't know, but it's everywhere.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Wow.

I'd say we've officially crossed over into weird.

Maybe Giles knew her.

Maybe it's the name of our pale, red-eyed mystery girl.

Well, let's see what we can see.

There's not a single mention of a Dana Shulps anywhere.

There's not a D. Shulps...

-...or any other kind of frigging Shulps. -Great.

-What do you got? -Nothing.

No Dana Shulps has ever lived or died in Baltimore...

-...in the last 50 years, at least. -So, what now?

Well, I think I'm pretty close to cracking Giles' password.

-Maybe something in his personal files. -By close you mean...?

Thirty minutes maybe.

Awesome.

So I guess I just get to hang out.

So awesome.

-Dude, seriously. -All right.

I'm gonna talk to Karen, see if she knows anything about this Dana Shulps.

Great.

Keep going, sparky.

Dean went back to Karen's place to check up on her.

I mean, you know, she'd been pretty upset earlier.

So why didn't you go with him?

I just went back to the motel.

How'd you know I was there, by the way?
