Supernatural: The Animation (2011) s01e18 Episode Script
Crossroad
BOBBY: On a beautiful day two young men with no work are just killing time in a shack like this? Man, something is wrong with this picture.
All signs of the demons that were on the rise for the last year stopped suddenly.
Since a month ago, to be precise.
Since the day Dad died.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
He's been depressed lately.
When you have too much time on hand, you tend to think too much.
Mm.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
SAM: Is your Impala still acting up? DEAN: It sounds funny sometimes.
I see.
Let me help.
DEAN: You'll be under here? Don't.
Do you need anything, then? DEAN: Just stop it.
Don't hover around me.
It's annoying.
SAM: How come you're not talking? DEAN: About what? - Dad.
Don't stay quiet and pretend you're tough.
It's not just anyone, it's our Dad who died.
I understand how you feel.
Do you want me to cry? Come here, Sammy, let me cry in your arms.
Don't be silly.
You're the one who's most affected by his death.
I'm all right.
No, you're not.
Dad was well and healthy but died suddenly.
The Colt disappeared at the same time.
The devil is definitely involved.
You can't just mope around.
What do you want me to do, then? Where is the devil? Any better way than Dad's to track them down? You have no leads, do you? That doesn't mean we can go on like this.
Your car's been fixed for a while.
You test-drove it over and over again.
Stop pretending to be cool.
Why are you keeping it to yourself? Let it out.
Take it out on me.
We only have each other.
I can understand your pain best.
Then keep your mouth shut.
I don't like being all mushy and moping around.
Don't waste your time worrying about me.
Go find out the whereabouts of the devil.
SAM: All right.
Sorry for bugging you.
SAM: Black dog? Right.
But it's not an actual black dog.
"A genius architect, Sean Boyden, found dead in his studio.
" Before he died, he mentioned that he was scared that he'd be killed by a black dog.
Interestingly enough, none of his neighbors or the policemen on guard ever saw the actual black dog.
This is a spirit of a black dog or A hell hound.
That's right.
They serve the devil.
It's the clue you've been waiting for.
Bobby, this is an occult magazine.
It's better than nothing.
Nothing happens if you don't make a move.
I guess you're right.
TED: A tribute to Sean Boyden as a cover story? Ted, thank you very much for your cooperation.
And what would you like to know? You could keep me going for hours.
We worked as business partners for 10 years, after all.
Ten years? Since Mr.
Boyden debuted as an architect then? Oh, yeah.
Speaking of his debut, there's an interesting story behind it.
- I've never told this to anyone.
- Tell us.
When I first met him, he was a bartender.
He had no clue about architecture.
But overnight he became this genius designer.
Do you know Robert Johnson? He was called a legendary blues man.
Oh, yes.
It's a famous urban legend.
He supposedly gave his soul to the devil in exchange for his legendary guitar technique.
Right.
Rumor says that he made a deal with the devil at a crossroads.
Well, Sean decided to give it a try as a joke.
You mean he summoned the devil? I don't know.
The bar he worked at was facing a crossroads.
He might've just made it up to make me laugh.
But it's true that Sean started showing his talent around that time.
I'm the one who wanted to make a legend of myself.
Sean being a bartender, on the other hand, became a legendary architect overnight.
It shows you that hard work doesn't make you a genius.
Ted, could you tell us where the crossroad is? DEAN: Look.
- Hmm? - Do you know these flowers? - Yarrow flowers? Right.
They're used in rituals to summon the demon, right? See how they're planted along the four curbs here? What Ted told us is now sounding more authentic.
SAM: Yeah.
- Let's check it out.
These, they must be a black cat's bone and a jar of graveyard dirt.
They're used to summon the devil.
DEAN: Here is Sean Boyden's photo.
Bingo.
Wait.
There's something else in there.
There is another person who summoned the devil.
If he's not dead yet, he'll soon be hunted down by the hell hound.
We'll ask around in the bar.
The bartender might know something.
Those items are not for staving off the demon.
You want these to summon him.
SAM: The guy in the photo is Evan Hudson.
He was a customer there until 10 years ago.
Sean Boyden died 10 years after the pact.
The black dog might've already shown up at Hudson's.
I hope it's not too late.
- Hey, Sam? - Huh? I was definitely dying, right? What about it? But I'm alive now.
Why? [GULPS.]
[DOGS BARKING.]
[SIGHS.]
[DOGS GROWLING.]
[WHIMPERING.]
[BARKING CONTINUES.]
WOMAN: Darling.
Are you sure you can't go? [SIGHS.]
Yeah.
I've got a lot of papers I have to finish today.
Don't look at me like that.
It's been long since you visited your folks last.
Your dad will be happy to see you are well.
You're right.
Now get going.
Thanks, Evan.
For being there for me.
That's what I'm here for.
For you.
My life exists for you.
Evan? [BARKING RESUMES.]
[WHIMPERING.]
DEAN: Evan Hudson, are you all right? DEAN: You're living a normal life for someone who's sealed a deal with the demon.
What did you ask for in return? EVAN: My wife.
- Your wife? - Out of your league? Ten years ago, we found out my wife had cancer.
It was terminal cancer.
There was nothing we could do.
She was to die in a few days.
I wanted to save her at all costs.
So you gave up your life in exchange? You decided to die so that your wife who was about to die could live? Yeah.
I love my wife so much.
DEAN: You want to die so that you can save someone you love? But it means your wife would lose you whom she loves.
Did you ever think of how she will feel knowing that her being alive came at the cost of your life? [DEAN PANTING.]
Dean.
Dean, are you okay? DEAN: Sam, why do you think I'm alive like this? Dad made a deal with the devil to save my life.
He summoned the devil and gave up his life to the devil the one he's been fighting all these years.
He didn't fight it.
He gave his soul to it.
But instead of destroying it, he gave him his life.
Dean, that's enough.
Can you imagine how hard that must've been? I should've died.
I should've SAM: That's enough, Dean.
Say no more.
That's enough.
[DEAN SOBBING.]
EVAN [WHIMPERING.]
: Don't come near me.
- Stay away.
- The black dog.
DEAN: Sam, create a shield.
Use lots of salt to keep the hound away.
SAM: Where are you going, Dean? DEAN: To the crossroads to summon the devil.
No.
You can't.
Don't get me wrong.
It's to save Evan.
No.
I'm not getting you wrong.
I know what you are thinking.
I promise I'll save Evan.
Just buy us some time.
Dean! [SHOVEL DIGGING.]
So, what's a good looking guy like you doing out here? It worked? [DEMON LAUGHS.]
What would you like to ask for? Money? Or fame? Or the life of someone you love? I want you to release Evan Hudson from your contract.
Sorry, that's not negotiable.
A sealed deal can't be withdrawn.
I figured.
I thought I'd give it a try just in case.
[GIGGLES.]
You are cold.
But that's understandable because what you are really after is not Evan's life.
It's your father's life.
Isn't that right, Dean Winchester? [BANGING AGAINST DOOR.]
SAM: Evan.
This way.
[BARKING.]
- Have you covered all entrances? - Yeah, but it's just salt.
It's okay.
Stay in here.
Dean will take care of it soon.
Take care? How? Why do you know me? You are famous.
What do you mean? About a month ago, a major deal was made involving your life.
It was big news among us all.
And the one who made the deal was the yellow-eyed devil.
The yellow-eyed one? It must be hard for you, Dean.
Because you know so well what your father wanted more than anything.
What your father wanted most was to avenge your mother's death.
In other words, to kill that yellow-eyed devil that he hated so much.
But instead, he ended up making a deal with the same devil in order to save your life.
It must've been so hard for him.
Listen, Dean.
I will grant your wish.
Isn't that why you summoned me in the first place? [BANGING AGAINST DOOR.]
I can't hear them anymore.
They're gone.
[BARKING RESUMES.]
SAM: I told you to cover all the doors.
I never imagined they'd come in through there.
[BARKING CONTINUES.]
DEAN: Can you? Can you bring my father back to life? DEMON: Yes, of course.
They're in.
Don't step outside the circle! Help me.
Evan, come this way.
Quick! Dean! What are you doing? DEMON: I'll grant your wish and bring your father back to life in exchange for your life, Dean.
[BARKING CONTINUES.]
Dean! DEMON: I'm not saying I want it right away.
I'll give you 10 years.
You can have your father back and share a good 10 years with him.
It's a special bonus because you are such a hunk.
It's not a bad deal.
Is it? No.
DEAN: It's pretty good for me who should've been dead to begin with.
Okay, I'll deal with you.
You made the right choice, Dean.
John will come back to life thanks to you.
John, Dean and Sammy there will be a lovely family reunion.
Now come over here.
Let's seal the deal.
[GASPS.]
DEAN: Gotcha.
- What's this for? I need you to say yes to my terms.
Release Evan Hudson from his contract.
What do you mean? You said you only gave it a try.
Because I couldn't just ask you.
This is not going to work.
Contracts are not negotiable.
You have two options to choose from: You let Evan go and let the couple live long or you go back to hell after I exorcise you.
Which do you want? Wait.
Don't you want to save your father? Evan is a stranger to you.
Your father must be more important to you.
Am I wrong? You'd better think hard.
Time is almost up.
[DEAN CHANTING SPELL.]
DEMON: Wait.
Stop it.
[WHIMPERING.]
[DEAN CHANTING SPELL.]
Wait! [EVAN GRUNTING.]
What happened? I think Dean made it? What was that for? This seals the deal.
Evan Hudson is free.
- You might be lying.
- I don't lie when I make a deal.
I'm not like you.
Now let me get out of here.
[CHUCKLES.]
- What'll happen to my Dad? - I don't know.
You're the one who abandoned the deal.
I'll tell you one thing, though.
The hell they talk about, where you father's trapped it's worse than you could ever imagine.
That John, who was once so bold and strong he's now screaming like a baby, "Help, help!" - It's a lie.
- I don't lie.
Your father had a loser son, didn't he? His son costs him his life and when given the chance to resurrect him, he throws it away.
Your father died for you.
He gave his life to the yellow-eyed devil.
But you abandoned your father.
[SOBBING.]
Dean, you're really some piece of work.
Your father will never come back.
Dean you killed him.
[GRUNTS.]
- You are - Driving.
I can see that.
Don't touch my car.
It's because you cried yourself to sleep.
I'm still working on her.
What if she gets bent out of shape? She's already fixed.
You're the one bent out of shape.
Dad did what he did so that you could keep living and keep hunting.
That's why we live for him and keep hunting.
That's what he wanted for us.
Giving up your life for Dad is out of question.
Wear it.
