Sammy.

Take your brother outside as fast as you can! Go!

Dad's on a hunting trip. He hasn't been home in a few days.

This was Dad's book. l think he wants us to pick up where he left off.

Saving people. Hunting things. The family business.

You think Mom would have wanted this for us?

-l can't do this alone. -l'm driving.

Can't keep kids out of this place.

-What is it anyway? -l forgot you're not local.

-You don't know the legend. -Legend?

Every town's got its stories, right?

Ours is Roosevelt Asylum.

They say it's haunted with the ghosts of the patients.

Spend the night, the spirits will drive you insane.

Hello? Police officers!

Police officers!

You telling me these kids brought bolt cutters?

Come on, we'll split up.

OFFlCER KELLY: All right.

Hello?

OFFlCER KELLY: Hello?

All right.

Come on out.

Kelly, you copy?

Jeez.

-Where the hell you been? -ln there.

What was it? See anything?

No.

This is patrol 1-4. We are clear and returning to station.

Roger, Patrol 1-4....

Hey.

So, what?

You're still not talking to me?

Walt, l said I was sorry about before.

How many times do l have to say it?

No, Dad was in California last we heard from him.

We just thought that he comes to you for munitions...

...maybe you seen him in the last few weeks.

-Call us if you hear anything, thanks. Okay.

-You bet. -Caleb hasn't heard from him?

Nope. Neither has Jefferson or Pastor Jim.

What about the journal? Any leads in there?

No. Same last time l looked. Nothing l can make out.

I love the guy, but he writes like Yoda.

Maybe we should call the feds. File a missing persons.

We talked about this. Dad would be pissed if we put the feds on him.

I don't care. After all that happened back in Kansas....

He should've been there.

You said so yourself. You tried to call him.

I know.

-Where the hell is my cell phone? -You know, he could be dead.

Don't say that. He's not dead.

-He's-- He's-- -He's what? He's hiding? He's busy?

I don't believe it.

What?

It's a-- A text message.

It's coordinates.

You think Dad was texting us?

-He's given us coordinates before. -He can barely work a toaster, Dean.

Sam, this is good news. It means he's okay. Or alive, at least.

Was there a number on the caller ID?

-No, it said unknown. -Where do the coordinates point?

That's the interesting part. Rockford, lllinois.

Okay, and that's interesting how?

I checked the local Rockford paper. Take a look at this.

This cop, Walter Kelly, he comes home from his shift, shoots his wife...

...then puts the gun in his mouth, blows his brains out.

Earlier that night, Kelly and his partner responded to a call at Roosevelt Asylum.

Okay, l'm not following. What does this have to do with us?

Dad earmarked the same asylum in the journal.

Let's see.

Here. Seven unconfirmed sightings.

Two deaths. Till last week, at least.

I think this is where he wants us to go.

This is a job.

-Dad wants us to work a job. -Yeah, maybe we'll meet up with him.

He could be sending us there by ourselves to hunt this thing.

Who cares? lf he wants us there, it's good enough for me.

This doesn't strike you as weird?

-The texting? The coordinates? -Sam.

Dad's telling us to go somewhere. We're going.

[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG ON JUKEBOX]

You're Daniel Gunderson, right? You're a cop?

Yeah.

I'm Nigel Tufnel, with the Chicago Tribune.

Mind if I ask a couple questions about your partner?

Yeah, l do. I'm just trying to have a beer.

It won't take that long. I just wanna hear your story.

A week ago my partner was sitting in that chair. Now he's dead.

-You gonna ambush me here? -Sorry. l need to know what happened.

Hey, buddy. How about leaving the guy alone, huh?

The man's an officer. Why don't you show a little respect.

-You didn't have to do that. -Yeah, of course l did.

That guy's a serious jerk. Let me buy you a beer, huh?

Two.

Thanks.

-You shoved me kind of hard in there. -l had to sell it, didn't l?

-lt's Method acting. -Huh?

-Never mind. -What'd you find out from Gunderson?

Walter Kelly was a good cop. Head of his class, even-keeled.

-He had a bright future ahead of him. -What about at home?

He and his wife had a few fights, but it was mostly smooth sailing.

They were talking about having kids.

So either Kelly had some crazy waiting to bust out...

-...or something did it to him. -Right.

What'd Gunderson tell you about the asylum?

A lot.

So apparently, the cops chased the kids here...

...into the south wing.

South wing, huh?

Wait a second.

South wing, south wing.

1 972. "Three kids broke into the south wing.

Only one survived."

Way he tells it, one of his friends went nuts and started lighting up the place.

So whatever's going on, south wing seems like the heart of it.

But if kids are spelunking the asylum, why aren't there a ton more deaths?

Looks like the doors are usually chained.

Could've been chained up for years.

Yeah, to keep people out. Or to keep something in.

Let me know if you see any dead people, Haley Joel.

Dude, enough.

I'm serious. You gotta be careful, all right?

Ghosts are attracted to that ESP thing you got.

I told you, it's not ESP. I just have strange vibes sometimes.

-Weird dreams. -Yeah, whatever. Don't ask, don't tell.

You getting any reading on that thing?

Nope. It doesn't mean nobody's home.

Spirits can't appear during certain hours of the day.

-Freaks come out at night. -Yeah.

Hey, who's the hotter psychic?

Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Love Hewitt or you?

Man.

Electroshock, lobotomies. They did some twisted stuff to these people.

Kind of like my man Jack in Cuckoo's Nest.

So, what do you think?

Ghosts are possessing people?

Maybe.

Or maybe it's more like-- Like Amityville or the Smurl haunting.

Spirits driving them insane.

Kind of like my man Jack in The Shining.

Dean?

-When are we gonna talk about it? -About what?

-About the fact that Dad's not here. -Oh, let's see. Never.

-l'm being serious, man. -So am l, Sam. He sent us here.

He obviously wants us here. We'll pick up the search later.

-lt doesn't matter what he wants. -See, that attitude right there?

That is why I always got the extra cookie.

Dad could be in trouble. We should be looking for him.

We deserve answers, Dean. This is our family.

I understand that, Sam. But he's given us an order.

We gotta always follow Dad's orders?

Of course we do.

"Sanford Ellicott."

You know what we gotta do. We gotta find out more about the south wing.

See if something happened here.

Sam Winchester?

-That's me. -Come on in.

Thanks for seeing me last minute.

Dr. Ellicott?

Ellicott, that name.

Wasn't there a--? A Dr. Sanford Ellicott?

Yeah, he was a chief psychiatrist somewhere.

My father was chief of staff at the old Roosevelt Asylum.

How did you know?

Uh, well, l'm sort of a local-history buff.

Hey, wasn't there a-- Wasn't there an incident or something?

In the hospital, l guess. In the south wing, right?

We're on your dollar, Sam.

We're here to talk about you.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, sure.

-So. -So.

How's things?

-Uh, things are good, doctor. -Good.

What you been doing?

Uh, same old.

Just been on a road trip with my brother.

Was that fun?

Loads.

Um, you know, we...

...met a lot of...

-...interesting people. -Mm-hm.

Did a lot of....

A lot of interesting things.

Uh....

You know--

What was it exactly that happened in the south wing? I forget--

If you're a local-history buff, then you know all about the Roosevelt riot.

The riot? Well, no, I know. I'm just curious.

Sam. Let's cut the bull, shall we?

You're avoiding the subject.

-What subject? -You.

Now, l'll make you a deal.

I'll tell you all about the Roosevelt riot...

...if you tell me something honest about yourself.

Like, this brother you're road-tripping with.

How do you feel about him?

Dude. You were in there forever. What the hell were you talking about?

-Just the hospital, you know? -And?
