Lore:

Ghosts as Omens

The unavoidable omen ghost is a ghost whose appearance signals that something terrible is about to happen such as a disaster, death or illness. These ghosts can be past family members or unknown specters. Omen ghosts can also be in the form of animals like phantom cats, hounds, and birds are the most common. The time frame between the ghost sighting and tragedy can vary from a couple hours to a few days. There is usually not any detailed information about the oncoming tragedy.

The odd part of these ghosts is that they manifest just before a tragedy, but with no specific information about the tragedy and without a way of stopping the tragedy. It is a compelling paradox; the omen ghost appears to warn the living about a tragic event that cannot be changed. Maybe the living are not supposed to know what the future brings, but, instead, are meant to be comforted by knowing that supernatural beings are watching over them. The reasons might be beyond human comprehension. Ghosts play by a different set of rules. Omen ghosts are in a different place and have a different perspective on life. Their supernatural perspective gives these ghosts an advantage. They know things about the future that the living is not allowed to know.

No one knows if omen ghosts are assigned to appear to the living or if they have to fight for the right to appear. Typically, omen ghosts will appear consistently to the same family line generation after generation. When the omen ghost appears, tragedy is always close behind. They are one of the most bizarre anomalies of the spirit world. The unavoidable omen ghost is a mystery locked inside a mystery.

Anagram

Coming from the Greek “ana” meaning “back” or “again” and “graphein” meaning “to write.” It is a type of word play that consists of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase in order to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once. In a more advanced, sophisticated form of anagramming, ones goal is to ‘discover’ a result that has a meaning that defines or comments on the original subject in a humorous or ironic way as in Somewhere Over the Rainbow ? Worrisome However Beneath.

The Great Escape

“Hilts, Mcqueen.”

The Great Escape, directed by John Sturges and starring Steve McQueen, is a popular 1963 World War II film, based on a true story about Allied prisoners of war with a record for escaping from prisoner-of-war camps. The Nazis and Gestapo placed them in a new more secure German camp, from which they promptly formed a plan to break out 250 men.

Matlock

Matlock was an American television legal drama starring Andy Griffith as attorney Ben Matlock. The format of the show was very similar to that of Perry Mason, with Matlock figuring out who the murderer is and then confronting them in a dramatic courtroom scene near the end; although whereas Mason usually exculpated his clients at a pretrial hearing, Matlock usually secured an acquittal at trial, from the jury. The show ran from 1986 to 1992 on NBC, then 1992 until 1995 on ABC. The show can currently be seen in syndication and is distributed by Viacom. In the US, Superstation WGN and Hallmark play the reruns daily.

Quotes:

Peter: Under what name? Oohh, yeah, that’s my favorite so far. Possible ID’s in three states that we know of.

(talking to Dean locked up in an interrogation room while Diana searches a motel for Sam)
Peter: 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 all 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 can prove anything of course, because supposedly you died there. Well I gotta tell you something. You look pretty healthy to me. So now we know Karen Guiles wasn’t the first person you murdered.
Diana: Goin’ somewhere Sam?
Peter: But I guarantee ya she’s the last.

Diana: Thought you might be thirsty.
Sam: Ok, so you’re the good cop. Where’s the bad cop?
Diana: Oh, he’s with your brother.
Sam: Ok.. and you’re holding us why?
Diana: Well he’s being held on suspicion of murder, and you, we’ll see.
Sam: Murder?
Diana: You sound genuinely surprised. Or are you that good of an actor?
Sam: Who’s he supposed to have murdered?
Diana: We’ll get around to that.
Sam: Well you can't just hold us here without formal charges.
Diana: 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. (Sam makes a non-committal gesture) Shy? No problem. I’ll keep goin. 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.
Sam: (completely serious almost maudlin) I needed some time off.. Ta deal. So I’m taking a road trip with my brother.
Diana: And how’s that goin for ya?
Sam: Great. (playful) I mean, we saw the second largest ball of twine in the continental U.S. (nods) Awesome.

Diana: Sam ya 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 other young women. Dean’s a bad guy. His life is over. Yours doesn’t have to be.
Sam: You want me to turn against my own brother?
Diana: No. We already caught him cold. Red-handed at the Karen Guiles murder scene. We just need you to fill in some missing pieces.
Sam: (looks like he’s cracking) Why would I do that?
Diana: Because I can talk to the D.A. Make a deal for you. You can get on with your life. Dean’s as good as gone.
Sam: (looks almost broken) My dad and Tony Guiles were old friends. They were in the service together. We’ve known him since we were kids, you know? So we came as soon as we heard about his death. (changes scene to when the boys find out about Tony in a newspaper article.. Sam was completely lying about everything. And he did it with such conviction and sincerity)

Dean: What do you think, Scully, wanna check it out?
Sam: I'm not Scully, you're Scully. (pushes newspaper towards Dean with a toddler’s pout)
Dean: Naw, I'm Mulder. You're a red-headed woman!

Sam: That’s when we went to see Karen. She was barely holding it together. We just wanted to be there for her, you know? (changes to scene with them visiting Karen posing as insurance investigators, completely the opposite of comforting the poor woman)

Dean: Did Tony mention anything.. unusual.. to you in the days before his death?
Karen: Unusual.. uh..?
Dean: Yeah.. like strange..
Karen: Strange? (shakes head and shoulders no)
Dean: You know Karen, WEIRD! Weird noises, uh, visions! Anything like that. (Sam clears his throat and gives Dean a look for going overboard, then quickly looks back to Karen with a sympathetic look and back to Dean again with a ‘what the hell are you doing’ type look)

Diana: We have an eye-witness. Someone who saw two men, fitting your and your brother’s description breaking into Guiles’ office.
Sam: Ok, look. Karen called us later said that there was some stuff that she wanted from Tony’s office but the police weren’t letting her in. Uheuhh.. 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! (cuts to scene of them picking the lock of Tony’s office)

Sam: Hey, Anthony Guiles body was found right about here. (reading) ‘Throat slit so deep part of his spinal cord was visible’.
Dean: (whistles) What do you think? Vengeful spirit? Underline vengeful?

Sam: Dana Shupls? What’s that? A name?
Dean: I donno, but it’s everywhere.
Dean: (looking at danashulpsdanashulps, etc. paper print out) Well all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. (laughs)
(Sam looks at desk, sees smudges on glass top. He breathes on it and sees DANA SHULPS)
Sam: Wow. Huh. I'd say we've officially crossed over into weird.

Dean: There’s not a single mention of a Dana Shulps anywhere. There’s not a D Shupls. Or any other kind of friggan Shulps.
Sam: Great.
Dean: Whad’you got?
Sam: Nothin. No Dana Shulps has ever lived or died in Baltimore in the last 50 years at least.
Dean: So what now?
Sam: Well.. I think I’m pretty close to cracking Guiles password. Maybe there’s something in his personal files, you know?
Dean: By close you mean..?
Sam: 30 minutes maybe.
Dean: (looks at watch, slaps leg) Awesome. So, I guess I just get to uh.. hang out. Sss’ (Dean takes a breath and looks in disgusted disdain at desk. He then starts to click tongue/mouth very loudly. Sam glances up at Dean. Dean puffs out his cheeks and makes a farting noise with his mouth!!!)
Sam: (raises arms to the Heavens) Dude! Seriously!?!
Dean: Alright I’m gonna go talk to Karen again see if she knows anything about this Dana Shulps huh?
Sam: Great.
Dean: Keep goin’ sparky.

(Talking about Dean)
Diana: You getting anywhere with him?
Pete: No. Just a lot of wise-a** remarks. You?
Diana: Sam's story matches Dean's to the last detail.
Pete: Yep. Whelp, these guys are good. I'll give them that.

(the brothers in tandem from different rooms)
Dean: Dana Shulps, Dana Shulps, Dana Shulps, Dana.. DAna Shulps. (Sam sits down and starts writing Dana Shulps on paper) Maybe it’s not a name.. (thinking) Maybe it’s not a name. (finalizing)
Sam: Anagram maybe? (starts mixing up letters) (Dean thinks in his head of the different letter arrangements until he hears a knock on the door)
Jeff: Mr. Winchester?
Dean: Yeah.
Jeff: I’m Jeff Krause. I’m with the public defenders office. I’m your lawyer.
Dean: (looking unimpressed) Oh, thank god. I’m saved. Hey can I uh.. steal a pen from you? Some paper?
Jeff: Sure. Uh, well the.. police haven’t found a weapon yet. So that’s good. But uh.. they got your prints and literally blood on your hands. And with your police record uh.. (Dean looks to be ignoring him while writing down different combinations of Dana Shulps) Mr. Winchester? What are you doing?
Dean: I think it’s an anagram.
Jeff: A what?
Dean: An anagram. Same letters different words. Uh.. could you do me a favor? See if you recognize any of these words, you know, local names, places, anything like that. (pushes not pad towards Jeff)
Jeff: Do you understand how serious these charges are?
Dean: Heh. I’m handcuffed to a table. Yeah, I get it. Humor me. Take a quick look.
Jeff: Well.. ‘SUP’ I donno about that but ASHLAND is a street name. It’s not far from here.
Dean: Street?
Jeff: Let’s start with where you were the night that Anthony Guiles died.
Dean: Can you get in to see my brother?
Jeff: Mr. Winchester.. you could be facing the death penalty here.
Dean: Hey thanks for the law review Matlock, but.. if you wanna help me.. I need you to see my brother. (hands him piece of paper)

(Sam reads the piece of paper Dean gave him)
HILTS-
IT’S A STREET
ASHLAND.
-MCQUEEN)
Jeff: I hope that was meaningful. But I’d like to discuss your case now.
Sam: Sure thing Matlock.
Jeff: You two really are brothers aren’t you.

(After agreeing to a Video Confession)
Dean: My name is Dean Winchester. (pause) I'm an Aquarius. I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach and frisky women. (pause) And I did not kill anyone! (pause) But I know who did. Or, rather, what did. Course, it can't be for sure, because our investigation was interrupted. But our working theory is that we're looking for some kind of Vengeful Spirit.
Diana: 'Scuse me?
Dean: You know, Casper the Bloodthirsty Ghost? (Detectives behind viewing glass murmur) Tony Giles saw it. I'll bet you cash money Karen did, too. But see, the interesting this is the word it leaves behind. For some reason it's trying to tell us something. But communicating across the veil (shakes his head), it ain't easy. Ya know, sometimes the spirits, they, uh, get things jumbled. You remember REDRUM. Same concept. You know it's, uh, it could be word fragments. Other times (pulls out scrap paper from earlier scribblings), it's anagrams. See at first we thought this was a name - Dana Shulps. But now, we think it's a street. Ashland. Whatever's going on, I'm betting it started there.
Pete: You. Arrogant. b*****d! Tony and Karen were good people. An' you making jokes.
Dean: I'm not joking paunch.
Pete: You murdered them in cold blood just like that girl in St Louis!
Dean: Oh, yeah. That wasn't me either. That was a shaper-shifter creature that only looked like me. (Pete grabs Dean by the jacket and throws him against the wall)
Diana: Pete, that is enough!
Dean: You asked for the truth.
Pete: (shoves Dean away) Lock his a** up. (storms out of the room)
(Dean is manhandled and cuffed against the wall)

(Diana and Pete enter Sam's holding room. He's gone. And the window's open)
Pete: What the hell?! Where is he?
(Pete walks over to window. We see it's 2 or 3 floors up from the ground. There are two police cars parked outside. There's no fire escape or any other thing to climb down. Diana finds Dean's note to Sam)
Pete: What'd he do? The fire escape's way over- (he sees Diana with the note) What?
Diana: These two guys... (shakes head, incredulous)
Pete: Hilts and McQueen? What is that?
Diana: Hilts is Steve McQueen's character in The Great Escape.
(Pete scoffs in disbelief)

Dean: Can we make this quick? I’m a little tired.. It’s been a long day you know with your partner assaulting me and all..
Diana: I wanna know more about that stuff.. you were talking about earlier.
Dean: Time Life. Mysteries of the unknown. Look it up.
Diana: let’s pretend for the moment, you’re not entirely insane.
Dean: Hmm (is willing to play along)
Diana: What would.. one of these.. things.. be doing here?
Dean: A vengeful spirit? (Diana nods) Well they’re created by violent deaths. And then they come back for a reason, usually a nasty one. Like revenge on the people that hurt ‘em.
Diana: And uh.. these.. spirits they’re capable of.. killing people? (massages neck uncertainly)
Dean: (bobs head in jovial agreement, then notices bruising on Diana’s wrist) Where did you get that?
Diana: (noticing for the first time) I don’t know. It wasn’t there before.
Dean: You’ve seen it haven’t you? The spirit?
Diana: How did you know?
Dean: Because Karen had the same bruises on her wrists. And I’m willing to bet that if you look at Guiles autopsy photos he’s got em too it’s got something to do with the spirit I-I donno what. (Diana turns her back towards Dean to look into the mirror) I know.. You think you’re going crazy. But let’s skip that part shall we? Because the last two people who saw this thing? Died pretty soon after. You hear me?
Diana: You think I’m gonna die.
Dean: You need to go to Sam. He’ll help.
Diana: You’re giving your brother up?
Dean: Go to the first motel listed in the yellow pages. Look for Jim Rockford, it’s how we find each other when we’re separated. Now you can arrest him if you want.. or you can let him save your life.

Diana: You know I must be losing my mind. You’re a fugitive. I should be arresting you.
Sam: Alright, well, you know what? You can arrest me later, alright? After you live through this. But right now, you gotta talk to me. Ok?

Diana: How’d you get those? Those are from crimes scenes and booking photos..
Sam: You have your job, I have mine.

Sam: You know, this is bothering me.
Diana: Well you are digging up a corpse.
Sam: No, not that. It’s pretty par for the course actually. Um..
Diana: Then what?
Sam: It’s just.. I mean no vengeful spirit I’ve ever tousled with wanted to be wasted so why the hell would Clair lead us to her remains? It doesn’t make any sense.

(Pete is driving Dean in a van. It's night. Dean is behind a cage shielding Pete from him)
Dean: So I'm being extradited to St Louis, huh!? And you just decided to transfer me yourself 800 miles at 2 in the morning. (in a quieter voice) This can't be good.

Sam: Radio? He took a county vehicle?
Diana: Yeah.
Sam: Well then they should have a low-jack you just gotta get it turned on.

(Pete pulls van over to side of a dark road in the middle of nowhere)
Dean: Pee break? So soon? You might wanna get your prostate checked. (Pete gets out of car. In lower voice) Son of a b***h. (Pete opens back door of van and goes to pull Dean out) Hey, I'm cool in the van, you go do whatchu gotta do.
Pete: You're a cocky Son of a b***h. You think these people in St Louis are gonna buy that crap you're peddling? Here’s the thing. You're not gonna make it to St Louis. You're gonna die. Trying to escape. (Pete gets out his gun and aims at Dean, who's on his knees on the ground)
Dean: (panicking) Wait! Wait! Let's- Let's talk about this. Come on you don't wanna do something that you're gonna regret! (Pete cocks trigger) Or maybe you do.
Diana: Pete! Put the gun down.
Pete: Diana? How'd you find me?
Diana: I know about Claire.
Pete: I don't know what you're talking about.
Diana: Put the gun down!
Pete: Aw, I don't think so. You're fast, but you sure aren't faster.
Diana: Why are you doing this?
Pete: I didn't do anything Diana.
Diana: It's a little late for that.
Pete: It wasn't my fault. Claire was gonna turn me in, I had no choice!
Diana: And Tony? Karen?
Pete: Same thing! Tony scrubbed the money, then he got skittish and then he wanted to come clean. I'm sure he told Karen everything. (Dean looks at Sam, worried. Dean shakes his head once. Sam's worried, antsy. Dean looks back at Pete) It was a mess, I had to clean it up. I just panicked.
Diana: How many more people are gonna die over this Pete?
Pete: There’s a way out.. This Dean kid's a friggin' gift. We can pin the whole thing on him. Kay? No trail, no nothing. Just-just one more dead scumbag.
Dean: Hey! (Pete cocks the gun again and Dean submits, raising his hands in surrender)

Dean: So uh.. What now officer?
Diana: Pete did confess to me. He screwed up both your cases royally. I’d say there’s a good chance that we can get your cases dismissed.
Sam: You could take care of that for us?
Diana: I hope so. But the St. Louis murder charges? That’s another story. I.. can’t help ya. Unless.. I just happen to turn my back and you walked away, I could tell them that the suspects escaped.
Sam: Wait, are you sure?
Dean: Yeah, she’s sure Sam.
Sam: I know it’s just, you could lose your job over something like that.
Diana: Look I just want you guys out there doing what you do best. Trust me. I’ll sleep better at night. Listen, you need to watch your back, they’re gonna be lookin for both of you right now. Get outta here. I gotta radio this in.
Dean: Hey, uhh... Wouldn't happen to know where my car is, by chance?
Diana: It's at the impound yard on Robertson. (realizes what Dean's up to) Don't! Even think about it.
Sam: It's ok. It's alright. Don't worry. We'll uh... We'll just improvise. I mean we're pretty good at that.
Diana: Yeah (smiling), I've noticed.

(Sam and Dean walking away from scene of Pete's death)
Sam: Nice lady.
Dean: Yeah, for a cop. Does she look familiar to you?
Sam: No, why? (pushes Dean)
Dean: I dunno. Anyway, you hungry?
Sam: No.
Dean: Damn, for some reason I could really go for some pea soup.

um... *is glad that Sam doesn't have red Scully hair*.... I like his sexy brown hair... I just wish he'd stop parting it down the middle.... *sighs*

Of course Dean would want to.... Help... him... in your mind.... AWWWWW!! The looks! I love them so much! Glad that this was slightly more Sammy-centric given last episode.. 3nodding

lol... and when Sheridan had him up on the wall... i was like 'kiss em!' AAAHAHAHAHA... xd

lol... yah... or she could... join in? xd Aren't I the inventive one.. *winks*

I love when they deviate off the course of a normal SN episode... they do that a couple times this season... yaaay! *loves being kept on her toes*

yah... i love the different feel of the episode... different flow and all that too.. sorta constricted like the boys were.. i wanna know how sam escaped! xd

I also loved how they totally side-stepped the road house crew... they needed time away from them and it'll probably be 3 or 4 eps before they go back.

the beginning was totally classic! I love when they edit stuff like that together. such masters of disguise xd
