The Winchesters

Being a Hunter means always being on the move,

No matter how hard you plan,

no matter how hard you work, at a certain point,

we all run out of road.

It's what we do with those crossroads

that defines us.

You know, for an old man, Wilcox could still throw down.

My preserved chimera foot,

she's ruined.

Don't worry.

We're gonna give you all the space you need

during this very difficult time.

On the bright side, you lost a paw,

but we gained all of Wilcox's Akrida research.

So there has to be something in here

that can make up for all of this.

Another golem?

John?

Oh, my God.

What happened? Where are you hurt?

It's not my blood.

It's Kyle's.

He just kept stabbing himself over and over.

He wouldn't stop.

Okay, so the Akrida-controlled Kyle

called the police?

Yeah.

And they left the journal at his apartment, too.

Wrote a bunch of entries about how I'd been harassing Kyle.

Over you.

NY mom got there and, uh, he was...

Dead.

The cops were behind her so she gave me the keys

to a junk car.

Told me to lay low so I came here.

Were you followed?

No.

I parked around the block just to be sure.

I'm sorry. Okay, if-if I was...

if I was faster, I-I could have...

- I could have stopped... - Hey.

You did everything you could.

What happened to Kyle was terrible,

but it wasn't your fault.

It doesn't make any sense.

I mean, why would the Akrida want to frame you?

What are they after?

Well, whatever the reason is, it worked.

I've been listening to the police radio

and they have all the cops in Lawrence

out looking for John.

All right.

So we'll...

No. Not "we," okay?

Just me.

Look, we have no idea what the Akrida are planning.

But, look, I don't want anyone else

- to get mixed up in it. - I'm already mixed up in it.

Okay, the two of you need to get out of town

and out of sight.

Uh...

what about my dad's hunting cabin?

Burr Oak is definitely off the grid.

- Yeah. - Look, the Akrida knew

about you and me.

Okay? That's why they controlled Kyle.

And we have no idea how many more people

- they're in control of. - He's right.

I mean, the Akrida could be controlling

anyone at this point.

Unless someone has some sort of X-ray specs

or a truth serum that makes people spill their secrets...

Or Maggie's bracelet.

Maggie's what?

She told me she had this bracelet

that could pinpoint anyone harboring a dark secret

like being a monster.

Maybe it could work on the Akrida.

Why did Maggie never tell me about this before?

I don't know.

Looks like Maggie was keeping secrets herself.

Regardless, if it's still in the house,

then it might be of use to us.

We can go back there and search.

The two of you need to get to that cabin.

Shall we?

Don't forget your breathing, okay?

And just remember, what happened last night,

it was not your fault.

As much as I don't like to admit when Lata's right,

you should definitely listen to your meditation guru, John.

Okay, if you guys find anything,

just hit up the CB or call.

They're right.

You know that, don't you?

Look, they clearly know about me.

Okay? About my past. I...

Your past does not define you.

And they showed their hand.

- What do you mean? - All of this

just to get to you?

I mean, clearly you're a threat to the Akrida.

That means you're doing something right.

Hey.

We're gonna figure this out.

- All that blood... - I know.

I mean, of course, I believe John, it's just...

It's like Mars Neto all over again.

Has he been meditating?

Not for weeks.

I mean, why do you think the Akrida's

targeting him like this?

I don't know.

I mean, clearly, they want him off the board.

They've manipulated us before.

It feels like they're doing this all over again,

but this time using John's record against him

and having the police do the dirty work.

Right.

And our best bet at helping him is either in this room

or buried somewhere we are never going to find.

Okay, you know, why did Maggie

keep this damn bracelet a secret?

Okay? It doesn't seem like her.

People conceal things for all sorts of reasons,

logical or not.

Look at you two idiots.

We were on our way to see Alice Cooper

at the Cowtown Ballroom.

You went and saw Alice without me?

I'm sorry.

- So sorry. - Nope. Mm-mm.

Retroactively never forgiving you for that.

Okay. Well...

And...

We had just stopped for snacks

'cause Maggie was obsessed with Toastettes.

Oh, my God, I think I know where to find the bracelet.

"Oh, I know where to find the bracelet."

I love you.

Even on the back roads,

we can still make it by morning.

You're not going anywhere.

- Betty, I can explain... - You'll get your day in court.

You don't understand.

The whole town is looking for you.

The way they're talking, you're lucky it's me

who found you first.

How did you find me?

I've been following you for weeks.

Ever since Kyle reached out.

I don't know what Kyle told you,

but John didn't kill anyone.

Look, I'm trying to help here.

Please don't make a bad day worse.

We're gonna figure this out.

All right?

All right.

Okay, uh, not to doubt your genius,

but the room where people have three meals a day

is Maggie's secret hiding spot?

Mary and Samuel both shared

Maggie's obsession with Toastettes.

'Scuse me.

Samuel Campbell? Toastettes?

The man contained many layers.

It would get quite cutthroat around here

over who would get the last one.

That's why Maggie kept her own private stash.

Rat poison?

The last place you look for treats.

Incredible.

Oh, amazing.

So what's the bracelet for?

Well, according to legend,

it was made by Erebus, the god of secrets and shadows,

as a tool to give to his followers

to uncover their enemies' hidden secrets.

So you just put the bracelet on, and presto,

monster-vision?

It's stuck.

That can't be good, can it?

- O-okay. - Well, take a deep breath.

You know, Maggie was able to get it off at some point, so...

We'll focus on this later. We need to make sure

this thing actually works, so come on.

Let's actually see who's naughty and who's nice.

Did you see that?

Ah!

Any luck?

Every door and window is sealed.

And the CB radio and phone are both dead.

And I tried to call for Ford and Carrie,

but nothing.

Any luck with that bracelet?

It won't budge.

And it feels like it's getting tighter somehow.

So chicken and egg situation here, monster-wise, right?

Right.

The shadow that we saw slam the door,
