"Hook Man" Sam tells Brie and Dean what happened.
"You saw him?" Brie asks as Elena nods her head.
"Why didn't you torch the bones?" Sam looks at Dean and Brie.
"What are you talking about,we did. You sure it's the spirit of Jacob Karns?" Dean says.
"It sure as hell looked like him. And that's not all. I don't think the spirit is latching on to the reverend"
"Well, yeah, the guy wouldn't send the Hook Man after himself" Dean says
"I think it's latching onto Lori. Last night she found out her father is having an affair with a married woman" Sam says.
"So what?" Dean shrugs.
"So she's upset about it. She's upset about the immorality of it. She told me she was raised to believe that if you do something wrong, you get punished" Sam says.
"Ok, so she's conflicted. And the spirit of Preacher Karns is latching on to repress the emotions and maybe he's doing the punishing for her?" Brie questions.
"Right. Rich comes on too strong, Taylor tries to make her into a party girl, Dad has an affair" Elena says.
Dean turns his head "Remind me not to piss this girl off. But I burned those bones, I buried them in salt, why didn't that stop him?"
"You must have missed something" Elena says looking at Brie and Dean.
"No. I burned everything in that coffin" Dean defends.
"Did you get the hook?" Sam asks
"The hook?" Dean raises an eyebrow.
"Well, it was the murder weapon, and in a way, it was part of him" Sam says
"So, like the bones, the hook is a source of his power"
"So if we find the hook..." Elena says
Sam and Dean speak in unison "We stop the Hook Man" They smile at each other.
In the library Sam and Dean are looking through more papers. "Here's something, I think. Log book, Iowa State Penitentiary. Karns, Jacob. Personal affects: disposition thereof"
"Does it mention the hook?" Brie asks.
"Yeah, maybe" Dean begins reading again "Upon execution, all earthly items shall be remanded to the prisoner's house of worship, St. Barnabas Church"
"Isn't that where Lori's father preaches?" Sam asks as Dean nods "Where Lori lives?"
"Maybe that's why the Hook Man has been haunting reverends and reverends' daughters for the past 200 years" Dean guesses.
"Yeah, but if the hook were at the church or Lori's house, don't you think someone might've seen it? I mean, a bloodstained, silver-handled hook?" Sam says.
"Check the church records"
Hours later they are still researching. Sam starts reading "St. Barnabas donations, 1862. Received silver-handled hook from state penitentiary. Reforged" He sighs "They melted it down. Made it into something else"
They drive to the church "Alright, we can't take any chances. Anything silver goes in the fire"
"I agree. So, Lori's still at the hospital. We'll have to break in" Sam says.
"Alright, take your pick" Deans says
"I'll take the house" Sam says as Elena volunteers to go with him.
"Ok" Sam begins walking towards Reverend's house with Elena in pursuit "Hey" Sam turns around "Stay out of her underwear drawer" He walks away.
In the basement Dean is throwing everything silver into the fire. Sam, Brie and Elena comes downstairs with a bag of things from Lori's house.
"I got everything that even looked silver"
"Better safe than sorry" They throw everything into the fire. Suddenly, they hear footsteps above them "Move, move" Dean takes his gun and goes upstairs
Upstairs they see that Lori is sitting in a pew alone, crying. Dean lowers his gun and goes back downstairs with Elena. Sam and Brie walk over to Lori. "Lori?"
"What are you doing here?" Lori asks looking at the two.
"What is it?" Sam asks her whats wrong.
Lori starts to cry "I've been trying to understand what's been happening. Why? Now I know so I'm praying for forgiveness"
"Forgiveness for what?" Brie presses.
"Don't you see? I'm to blame for all this. I've read in the Bible about avenging angels" Lori says
"Trust me, this guy he's no angel" Sam says
"I was so angry at my father. Part of me wanted him punished. And then he came and he punished him"
"It's not your fault" Brie says.
"Yes, it is. I don't know how, but it is" In the back of the church, the Hook Man appears for a moment then disappears quickly "I killed Rich. Taylor, too. I nearly killed my father. I can see it now. They didn't deserve to be punished. I do" They hear a noise come from the front of the church. The candles at the altar blow out and the screen fades to black.
"Come on. We gotta go" He leads them away and opens the door to the basement. But the Hook Man is behind it and pushes his hook through the door "Go!" Sam, Brie and Lori run down the aisle and into a back room. The Hook Man follows them and smashes the glass of another door with his hook. He swings at Sam a few times but misses. The Hook Man chases the three of them around the room and finally hooks Sam in the shoulder. He screams in pain and an invisible force drags Lori on her back across the floor. Sam runs over to her "Come on. You okay?" The Hook Man appears and knocks Brie backwards into a wall. Sam gets up and maneuvers behind the Hook Man, who is standing over Lori.
Dean suddenly enters with his gun raised. "Sam, drop!" Sam crouches down and Dean shoots the Hook Man once. He disappears into dust.
"I thought we got all the silver" Sam says.
"So did I" Dean says going over to Brie who helps her up. She groans in pain as she holds her back.
"Then why is he still here?"
"Well, maybe we missed something!" They look around. Sam notices a cross necklace that Lori is wearing. "Lori, where did you get that chain?"
Lori holds onto the necklace "My father gave it to me"
"Where'd your dad get it?" Elena asks.
"He said it was a church heirloom, he gave it to me when I started school"
"Is it silver?!"
"Yes" Sam rips the chain off from around her neck. In the hallway, the Hook Man, who is now invisible, is making a long scratch on the wall. Dean turns around to look at it. "Sam!" Dean throws Sam the rifle and the rock salt and Sam tosses Dean the necklace. Dean runs back downstairs. Sam aims the gun at the scratch that is being made and shoots. He quickly reloads the gun with rock salt.
Dean runs downstairs with Brie and throws Lori's necklace into the fire. Upstairs, Sam is still loading the gun with his injured hand and shoulder. The Hook Man appears and knocks the rifle out of Sam's hand. Sam and Lori crawl into the corner and watch the Hook Man tower over them.
In the fire, the cross pendant breaks off the chain and melts. The Hook Man stops with his hook in the air. The hook melts and the rest of his body burns into nothing. Dean runs upstairs to make sure the Hook Man is gone. He walks over to Sam and Lori and gives them a knowing look.
Sheriffs are walking around and there is an ambulance parked outside. "And you saw him, too? The man with the hook?" He asks Dean.
Dean nods his head "Yes, I told you, we all saw him. We fought him off and then he ran"
"And that's all?"
"Yeah, that's all" Dean says.
"Listen. You and your brother" Sheriff begins.
Dean interrupts him "Oh, don't worry, we're leaving town" He walks over to his car.
Lori watches Sam finish getting bandaged up "You gonna be okay?"
"Yeah" Back at the car, Dean is watching Sam and Lori through his side view mirror.
"I still don't know what happened. But I do know you saved my life. My father's, too. Thank you" Sam nods and smiles. Dean watches through the mirror and notices Sam just walks away without another word. Sam walks to the car and gets in. "We could stay" Sam shakes his head. Dean watches Lori looking sad, through the mirror. He shakes his head in disappointment and drives away.
