Sam: Wait a second. What do you mean, she saved you?
Dean: You were there. When the storm hit, everything went dark.
Yeah, but you just disappeared from the car.
DeanI don't even remember that.
Well, I don't remember some woman pulling you out.
Dean
Well, what do you want me to say, okay? I was in the car, and then I wasn't in the car. I was in the field, and she was there.
And she told you she was The Darkness.
Dean
No. She was wearing a name tag. What do you think? She thanked me.
Dean
Setting her free.
You didn't set her free. I set her free.
Dean
Does it matter? I mean, yeah, you said the spell, but I had the Mark, so lock and key.
So, what, now she feels indebted to you or something?
Dean
I don't know. She's The Darkness. Does she feel anything?
And that's all she said? Thanks?
Dean
Yeah. She was weird. But she had this energy about her, this, this focus. But, yeah, not a talker.
Dean
Well, we know what she looks like, and we know that she's evil. The question is, what does she know? I mean, she's been locked away since the beginning of time. Does she even know what a cheeseburger is? All I know is that we set her free, and we're gonna put her back in, no matter what it takes. (Dean gets in the car, which is still stuck down in the pothole.) What the... just gonna let me get in the car?
Dean
Well, now that you've said your thanks, let's talk about what happens next.
DThe Darkness
I like it here. With you. I haven't felt this peaceful in a long, long time.
Dean
Well, let's get something straight: I'm not here to bring you peace; I know what you are.
DThe Darkness
Really? I've been gone so long, I didn't think anyone remembered.
Dean
Well, Death painted a hell of a picture.
DThe Darkness
I don't know this "Death," and he doesn't know me.
Dean
(holding up a knife) So, are you saying I shouldn't try and kill you right now?
DThe Darkness
Am I saying that? Or are you?
Dean
Okay, your turn. Talk to us about The Darkness.
Castiel: Why would I talk about The Darkness?
Removing the Mark opened some kind of lock. Dean saw her.
Dean
Well, that's what we're asking you. We were hoping you could tell us what kind of Defcon screwed we are.
Are you serious? Dean, it's late. I'm exhausted and ― and ― starving, and this place... I mean, even Swayze wouldn't come to this roadhouse.
Dean
Okay, first of all, never use Swayze's name in vain.
Dean
Come on, man. That quote? "God helps those who help themselves?" God didn't say that. That's not even in the Bible. That's an old proverb that dates way back to Aesop. [Sam looks surprised.] I read. And more importantly, when was the last time God answered any one of our prayers? It's not a vision, Sam. All right? It's just some... some fever dream. That's all. And as far as Dad goes, I dream about Dad all the time.
Dean
Of course I do. It's usually the same one, too. We're all in the car. I'm sitting in the driver's seat, Dad's sitting shotgun. But there aren't any shotguns. There's no monsters. There's no hunting. There's none of that. It's just... he's teaching me how to drive. And, uh, and I'm not little like I was when he actually taught me how to drive. I'm 16, and he's helping me get my learner's permit. Of course, you're in the backseat, just begging to take a turn. We pull up to the house, the family house, and I park in the driveway, and he looks over and he says, "perfect landing, son." I have that dream every couple of months. Kind of comforting, actually.
Castiel [Over the phone]: Right, you place a coin in a Nachzehrer's mouth, then sever their head, and that will kill them. And according to the lore, if you kill the pack's Alpha, everyone they've turned will revert back to human form.
Dean
Awesome. All right, where do we find an obol?
Well, according to the Men of Letters' records, you're gonna need a copper coin. They used to use pennies, so you'll need one of those.
Yeah, but one minted pre-1982. So before 1982, pennies were 95% copper. Since then, they're only copper-plated zinc.
Dean
Wow. Your nerdiness knows no bounds.
Dean
Have many have you turned?
DDonelly
In the first hundred years? Three. In the last month? Sixteen.
Dean
What, are you trying to field a baseball team?
DDonelly
It's like I said, I need help, every strong hand I can find. And I need an army to fight The Darkness. Oh, it's comin', for all of us. There's nothing hunters or any human can do about it.
Dean
Do you know how to stop it?
DDonelly
I don't think anything can stop it. I'm just tryin' to buy some time, so I'm turning as many strong men and women as I can.
Dean
I don’t know where to put my eyes. I think I’m gonna to throw up.
We’re surrounded by doilies. They’re everywhere.
Dean
Okay, you think the innkeeper might've mentioned this before he ripped us off.
Well, I guess you’re gonna have to get yourself another room, because this was Lizzie’s original room, and I’m not giving it up.
Dean
What are you, four?
Dean
Well, the world’s smallest bathroom is clean. What is that smell?
I think it’s this. It’s like lavender toilet water.
[Sam squeezes the perfume sprayer.]
Dean
Bottled toilet water? Why do you keep spraying it?
I just wanted to see if the squeezy thing worked.
Dean
Well, so far we got squat that says ghost. Or anything remotely us.
So maybe its not our usual kind of gig? Maybe we’re dealing with a serial killer?
Dean
Oh yeah, you’d love that, wouldn’t you?
