And before you leave, one of our apple pies.

-On the house. -Oh, my God, thank you so much.

You're welcome. -Hey, we should get lost more often.

I mean, everyone in this town is so nice.

Yeah, what's the catch?

-You're all set. -Okay. Thanks.

-That's a cool tattoo. VlNCE: Thanks.

So let's get you back to the interstate.

-Yeah, please. -Take Lasky straight out of town.

And then turn right on Orchard Road.

Okay, thank you.

What happened?

I don't know. Car just died.

Cell phone too.

How's that possible?

VlNCE: Come on. Looks like a house over there.

No, I'm not going in there.

Holly, we need help. We can't just wait here.

-Come on. -Okay.

VlNCE: Check it out.

-lf I only had a brain. -We wouldn't be lost.

Thanks.

That has got to be the freakiest damn scarecrow I've ever seen.

It scares me.

Please, let's just hurry, okay?

Did you hear that?

Hello? Who's there?

Vince?

Vince?

Dean.

-Hello? -Sam, is that you?

Dad.

-Are you hurt? -l'm fine.

We've been looking for you everywhere.

We didn't know where you were, if you were okay.

Sammy, l'm all right. What about you and Dean?

We're fine. Dad, where are you?

Sorry, kiddo, I can't tell you that.

-What? Why not? -ls that Dad?

Look, l know this is hard for you to understand. You just--

You're gonna have to trust me on this.

You're after it, aren't you?

The thing that killed Mom?

Yeah. lt's a demon, Sam.

A demon?

-You know for sure? -A demon? What's he saying?

I do.

Listen, Sammy, l, uh....

I also know what happened to your girlfriend.

I'm so sorry.

I would've done anything to protect you from that.

You know where it is?

Yeah, l think I'm finally closing in on him.

-Let us help. -You can't.

-You can't be any part of it. -Why not?

-Give me the phone. -Listen, Sammy, that's why l'm calling.

You and your brother, you gotta stop looking for me.

Now, l need you to write down these names.

Names? What names? Dad, wh--?

Talk to me. Tell me what's going on.

Look, we don't have time for this.

This is bigger than you think. They're everywhere.

Even us talking right now, it's not safe.

-No, all right? No way. -Give me the phone!

I've given you an order.

Now, you stop following me, and you do your job, you understand me?

Now, take down these names.

Dad, it's me. Where are you?

Yes, sir.

Uh.... Yeah, l got a pen.

What are the names?

All right, so the names Dad gave us, they're all couples?

Three different couples, all went missing.

-From different towns, different states? -That's right, yeah.

Washington, New York, Colorado.

Each couple took a road trip cross-country.

None arrived at their destination or were ever heard from again.

It's a big country.

-They could've disappeared anywhere. -Could've.

But each one's route took them through the same part of Indiana.

Always on the second week of April, one year after another after another.

-This is the second week of April. -Yep.

So Dad is sending us to lndiana...

...to go hunting for something before another couple vanishes?

Yahtzee.

Can you imagine putting together a pattern like this?

The different obits Dad had to go through?

The man's a master.

What are you doing?

We're not going to Indiana.

-We're not? -No, we're going to California.

Dad called from a pay phone.

-With a Sacramento area code. -Sam.

Dean, if this demon killed Mom and Jess, and Dad's closing in, we gotta be there.

-We gotta help. -Dad doesn't want our help.

-Well, l don't care. -He has given us an order.

I don't care.

We don't always have to do what he says.

Sam, Dad is asking us to work jobs, to save lives. lt's important.

All right, l understand. Believe me. But l'm talking one week here, man.

To get answers. To get revenge.

-All right, look, l know how you feel. -Do you?

How old were you when Mom died? Four?

Jess died six months ago.

How the hell would you know how l feel?

Dad said it wasn't safe for any of us.

He obviously knows something that we don't.

If he says stay away, we stay away.

I don't understand the blind faith you have in the man.

I mean, it's like you don't even question him.

Yeah, it's called being a good son.

You're a selfish bastard, you know that?

You just do whatever you want, don't care what anybody thinks.

-That's what you really think? -Yes, it is.

Well, then this selfish bastard is going to California.

-Come on, you're not serious. -l am serious.

It's the middle of the night.

Hey, I'm taking off. I will leave your ass, you hear me?

That's what l want you to do.

Goodbye, Sam.

Let me guess. Scotty.

Yep.

Hi, my name's John Bonham.

Isn't that the drummer for Led Zeppelin?

Wow.

Good.

Classic rock fan.

What can I do for you, John?

Was wondering if, uh, you've seen these people, by chance.

Nope. Who are they?

Friends of mine. They went missing about a year ago.

They passed through somewhere here. I asked around Scottsburg and Salem.

Sorry.

We don't get many strangers around here.

Scotty, you got a smile that lights up a room. Anybody ever tell you that?

Never mind. See you around.

[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG ON HEADPHONES]

Hey.

You scared the hell out of me.

I'm sorry. I just thought you might need some help.

Um, I'm good, thanks.

Uh, so where you headed?

No offense, but no way l'm telling you.

-Why not? -You could be some kind of freak.

-l mean, you are hitchhiking. -Well, so are you.

Need a ride?

-Yeah, yeah. -Yeah.

Just her.

I ain't taking you.

You trust shady van guy and not me?

Definitely.

You sure they didn't stop for gas or something?

Mm-mm.

Nope, don't remember them. You say they were friends of yours?

-That's right. -Did the guy have a tattoo?

Yes, he did.

You remember? They were just married.

You're right. They did stop for gas. Weren't here more than 1 0 minutes.

Do you remember anything else?

Told them how to get to the interstate, they left town.

-Could you point me in that direction? -Sure.

What the hell?

Dude, you fugly.

Nice tat.

-You're back. -Never left.

You still looking for your friends?

Mind filling it up there, Emily?

So did you grow up here?

Came here when I was 1 3.

I lost my parents. A car accident.

-My aunt and uncle took me in. -They're nice people.

Everybody's nice here.

So, what, it's the, uh, perfect little town?

Well, you know, it's the boonies, but l love it.

I mean, the towns around us...

...people are losing their homes, their farms.

But here, it's almost like we're blessed.

Hey, you been out to the orchard?

Seen that-- That scarecrow?

Yeah, it creeps me out.

-Whose is it? -l don't know.

It's just always been there.

That your aunt and uncle's?

Customer. Had some car troubles.

It's not a couple, is it? A guy and a girl?

Mm-hm.

Sorry, the Sacramento bus doesn't run again till tomorrow, 5:05 p.m.

Tomorrow?

-There's gotta be another way. -Well, there is. Buy a car.

Hey.

-Hey. -You again.

-What happened to your ride? -You were right.

That guy was shady. Was all hands.

I cut him loose.

-What's the matter? -Just trying to get to California.

-No way. -Yeah.

Me too.

You know, next bus isn't until tomorrow.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the problem.

Why? What's in Cali that's so important?
