In Lori and Taylors College Dorm Room, Lori was getting ready for a date, she was nervous since it was her first college date, this was a whole new world she wasn't living with her father who was the local preacher, so she was comming out of the religious bubble and she was finding a ballance with her beliefs and the world, the girls were trying on different outfits and hairstyles, Taylor was more of the crazy anything goes kind of girl willing to flaunt what she had and Lori was a good girl modest and upstanding, once Taylor had talked Lori into a halter top, she was ready to go and said her goodbye's and walked out the door with taylor leaving her with some last advice on her way out.
TAYLOR: Dont do anything I wouldnt do.
LORI: Theres nothing you wouldnt do.
(She leaves)
Taylor was then smiling to her self as she layed back on her bed ontinuing to thumb through her people Magazine. smiling to herself
TAYLOR: Thats true.
LORIs boyfriends car pulls up along Nine Mile Road and parks the car not noticing the tall figure with a hook for a hand Standing behind the trees.
LORI: I thought we were going to the party.
RICH: Well, we cant arrive on time.
Lorie started blushing figuring that things might be headed in a direction she wasn't sure she was ready for, but also couldn't deny that she was having a hard time resisting.
LORI: You know, if I didnt know any better, Id think you brought me here on purpose.
Rich feigning shock, turned and looked at her.
RICH: What? Im offended.
LORI: sarcastically, rolled her eyes and smiled.
LORI: Yeah, Im sure.
They smile and begin to kiss. LORIs cell phone rings and they reluctantly break away. The caller ID says Dad Calling".
RICH: You wanna get that?
LORI: Definitely not.
She shuts the ringer off. They resume kissing, and RICH put his hand under LORIs halter strap. She pulls away and moves his hand.
LORI: No, I'm not ready for that.
RICH: Its ok.
LORI looks uncomfortable and the situation is getting out of hand but still no one notied Outside,that the figure with the hook is moving slowly out from the trees towards the car. RICH was kissing LORIs neck again and continues to try and put his hand back under her strap, She becomes even more uncomfortable and pulls away.
LORI: Hey, I mean it.
They suddenly hear a loud screeching noise. Outside which startles them, the unknown man is dragging his hook along a Dead End sign.
Lori Started looking around nervously.
LORI: What was that?
RICH: I dont know.
They hear the same sound. The man is shown dragging his hook along a sign that says 9 Mile Road.
RICH: What is that?
He opens the car door, and gets out to take a look around in his head he's totally scared but he has to put up a front for Lori so she will feel protected.
LORI: No! Rich, no!
Lori tries to get him to stay because him going out there is freaking her out even more, she dosen't want to be left alone.
RICH: No, just wait here.
LORI looks after him terrified. mean while Outside, RICH was looking around when he heard more screeching. behind him this makes Him turn to see a long scratch being made on the side of his car, but the Hook Man was invisible so Rich couldn't tell who was doing this.
RICH: What the hell?
LORI: Rich, lets go!
she yells out the open window , when she is suddenly jerked around when the back tire gets punctured. wich makes her scream because now she is terrified.
LORI: Rich?
She looks around, she can't see Rich anywhere outside.
LORI: Rich!
She rolls up the windows and locks them, in her logial mind she knows that if somone was going to hurt her a locked door and a pane of glass wasn't going to stop them from getting to her, but she wasn't thinking logically or else she would have already called 911
LORI: Rich, where are you?
She suddenly hears scratching and banging on the roof. which of course makes her scream She jumps into the backseat on the floor curling her self up into a ball while she waits for somthing else to happen. The noise stops; and LORI is breathing heavily, trying to get her mind to start thinking of what she needs to do to get her self out of danger.
LORI: Ok ok.
She gets out of the car and starts to run away down 9 mile road, and when she turns around to see if she is being followed she sees RICH. He is suspended from a tree, upside down, above the car. LORI was so stunned and frightened at the same time all she could think to do right then was scream.
**** a Day Later*****
the three winchesters were at aout door cafe dean was looking for a case, sipping his coffee, while Lydia was drinking a straberry and bannanna smoothy.
While SAM was on the payphone.
SAM: Alright, thank you for your time.
He hangs up and walks back to the table, and sat next to Lydia who passes him part of her scone that Dean had bought for her, he smiles at her and she smiles back she has been making more of an effort to be with sam and do things with him, but she still finds it hard to be away from Dean since the skin walker case but she is comming back to her old self day by day.
DEAN: Your, uh, half-caf, double vanilla latte is gettin cold over here, Francis.
Lydia Giggles and nudges her dad's leg with her toe making him smirk at her.
SAM: Bite me.
He says as he takes a bite of the scone and turns his attention to Dean.
DEAN: So, anything?
SAM shakes his head.
SAM: I had em check the FBIs Missing Persons Data Bank. No John Does fitting Dads description. I even ran his plates for traffic violations.
DEAN: Sam, Im tellin ya, I dont think Dad wants to be found.
SAM looks disappointed.
DEAN: Check this out.
He shows SAM and Lydia the article on the computer about RICHs death.
Its a news item out of Planes Courier. Ankeny, Iowa. Its only about a hundred miles from here.
Sam started reading the article out loud so Lydia could hear also.
SAM: The mutilated body was found near the victims car, parked on 9 Mile Road.
DEAN: Keep reading.
SAM: Authorities are unable to provide a realistic description of the killer. The sole eyewitness, whose name has been withheld, is quoted as saying the attacker was invisible.
LYDIA: That's weird, it could be somthing.
SAM: Or it could be nothing at all. One freaked out witness who didnt see anything? Doesnt mean its the Invisible Man.
LYDIA: But what if it is? Grandpa would check it out.
Dean nodded, to his daughters conclusion.
The Winchesters were driving they stoped at the fraternity house where RICH lived Lydia was told to stay in the car both Sam and Dean knew that this was hardly a place to take an 8 year old girl, and Dean had no intention of letting her see what frat boys were like with their pig stye of a house and their porno pin up girls in the walls. As They walked in the door they were greeted by frat brothers who look at them confusedly not knowing who they are.
SAM: One more time, why are we here?
he asked as he looked around for the Prophyet brother (head of the fraternity)
DEAN: Victim lived here.
They walk up to some guys fixing a car.
DEAN: Nice wheels.
They look at him strangely.
Were your fraternity brothers. From Ohio. Were new in town. Transfers. Looking for a place to stay.
Dean grin's at them and they point them to a shirtless frat boy in yellow shorts is painting his face and body purple. SAM and DEAN knock on his door.
FRAT BOY: Who are you?
DEAN: Were your new roommates.
He smiles and walks over to the boy. The boy holds the brush and paint can out to DEAN.
FRAT BOY: Do me a favor? Get my back. Big game today.
Dean looking disgusted points to SAM
DEAN: Hes the artist. Things he can do with a brush.
SAM, mortified, takes the brush and can. DEAN sits on a chair and picks up a magazine.
DEAN: So
He looks at the name on the magazine
DEAN: Murph. Is it true?
MURPH: What?
DEAN: We heard one of the guys around here got killed last week.
MURPH: (sadly) Yeah.
SAM: What happened?
MURPH: Theyre saying some psycho with a knife. Maybe a drifter passing through. Rich was a good guy.
SAM: Rich he was with somebody?
MURPH: Not just somebody. Lori Sorensen.
DEAN: Whos Lori Sorensen?
he turns to SAM grinning
DEAN: You missed a spot. Just down there on the back.
SAM looks annoyed, and continues to slather paint on murph's back just above his waist band.
MURPH: Loris a freshman. Shes a local. Super hot. And get this: shes a reverends daughter.
DEAN: You wouldnt happen to know which church, would ya?
REV. SORENSEN: Our hearts go out to the family of a young man who perished. And my personal prayers of thanks go out as well because I believe he died trying to protect my daughter.
LORI looks down at her clasped hands embarrassed that her father was bringing up the tragedy like this in church.
REV. SORENSEN: And now, as time heals all our wounds, we should reflect on what this tragedy means. To us, as a church.
SAM, DEAN and LYDIA, enter and the door slams behind them. The congregation goes silent and turns to look at them
REV. SORENSEN as a community, and as a family. The loss of a young person is particularly tragic. A life unlived is the saddest of passings.
The Winchesters sit down. LORI stares at SAM, and he smiles weakly at her.
So, please, let us pray. For peace, for guidance, and for the power to protect our children.
Everyone bows their head in prayer, except DEAN and LYDIA, SAM elbows him, and DEAN, noticing everyone else, does the same, while pushing Lydia's head down bowing her head as well, which she turns and scowles at him for. her mother and her never went to church and she never believed in god, maybe a higher osmic power but god was just so fantastical to believe in a person of ultimate good and love when she had whittnessed so much bad, she believed in the supernatural and maybe fate and destiny but she had no proof of a divine being.
When the Mass has ended, Sam,Dean and LYDIA were walking out the front door keeping an eye on Lori so they could talk to her, Lori was busy talking to another girl she seemed to be hesitant.
LORI: I cant. Its Sunday night.
TAYLOR: Its just us girls. Were gonna do tequila shots and watch Reality Bites.
LORI: My dad makes dinner every Sunday night.
TAYLOR: Come on, Lori. I know this has been hard, but you are allowed to have fun.
LORI: Ill try.
TAYLOR rolls her eyes.
TAYLOR: Ok.
They hug and TAYLOR leaves. SAM, DEAN and Lydia walk up to LORI.
SAM: Are you Lori?
LORI: Yeah.
SAM: My name is Sam. This is my brother, Dean.
(DEAN waves)
DEAN: Hi.
SAM: and this is our Little Sister LYDIA We just transferred here to the university, me and dean did obviously not Lydia.
LORI: I saw you inside.
SAM: We dont wanna bother you. We just heard about what happened and...
DEAN: We wanted to say how sorry we were.
SAM: I kind of know what youre going through. I-I saw someone..get hurt once. Its something you dont forget.
LORI nods slightly. REV. SORENSEN walks up to them.
LORI: Dad, um, this is Sam and Dean and their sister Lydia. Theyre new students.
DEAN shakes the reverends hand.
DEAN: Its a pleasure to meet you, sir. I must say, that was an inspiring sermon.
REV. SORENSEN: Thank you very much. Its so nice to find young people who are open to the Lords message, so are did you move with your parents?
DEAN chuckles.
DEAN: No it's just us kids our parents arn't with us any more so we have custody of squirt here; Listen, uh, actually.
He he grabs Lydia's hand and leads REV. SORENSEN away from SAM and LORI.
And, uh, we were looking for a, um, a church group somewhere Lydia could get togather with kids her own age.
Dean walks with Lydia and the Rev. down the side walk, while Sam walks with Lydia
SAM: Tell me, Lori. What are the police saying?
He starts walking with her.
LORI: Well, they dont have a lot to go on. I think they blame me for that.
SAM: What do you mean?
LORI: My story. I was so scared, I guess I was seeing things.
They stop walking, and sam turns to her looking at her firmly.
SAM: That doesnt mean it wasnt real.
They look at each other for a few seconds.
After they talked with Lori and her father they made their way to the Library to do research.
DEAN: So you believe her?
SAM: I do.
DEAN: Yeah, I think shes hot, too.
SAM: No, man, theres something in her eyes. And listen to this: she heard scratching on the roof. Found the bloody body suspended upside down over the car.
LYDIA: she was telling the truth daddy I could tell.
Lydia said as she flipped through grandpa John's journal.
DEAN: Wait, the body suspended? That sounds like the—
SAM: Yeah, I know, the Hook Man legend.
DEAN: Thats one of the most famous urban legends ever. You dont think that were dealing with the Hook Man.
SAM: Every urban legend has a source. A place where it all began.
DEAN: Yeah, but what about the phantom scratches and the tire punctures and the invisible killer?
LYDIA: the Hook Man might not be a man at all. What if its some kind of spirit?
she said and they looked at her impressed at her conclusion.
DEAN, SAM and LYDIA are at a table in the library. The librarian places a few big boxes in front of them, that they had requested.
LIBRARIAN: Here you go. Arrest records going back to 1851.
DEAN blows some dust off a box and coughs, while Lydia sneezes a couple of times.
DEAN: Thanks.
LIBRARIAN: Ok.
She walks away.
DEAN: So, this is how you spent four good years of your life, huh?
SAM: Welcome to higher education.
They begin reading.
Hours later. They are still looking, while Lydia had fallen asleep with her head on the table.
SAM: Hey, check this out. 1862. A preacher named Jacob Karns was arrested for murder. Looks like he was so angry over the red light district in town that one night he killed 13 prostitutes. Uh, right here, some of the deceased were found in their bed, sheets soaked with blood. Others suspended upside down from the limbs of trees as a warning against sins of the flesh.
looking at another page.
DEAN: Get this, the murder weapon? Looks like the preacher lost his hand in an accident. Had it replaced with a silver hook.
SAM points to another page.
SAM: Look where all this happened.
DEAN reads.
DEAN: 9 Mile Road.
SAM: Same place where the frat boy was killed.
Dean looke at Sam impressed
DEAN: Nice job, Dr. Venkmen. Lets check it out.
SAM gathers all the research and they leave.
***later that Night****
REV. SORENSEN pulls up in the driveway of Lori's Sorority house and parks the car and turns to his daughter.
LORI: I know this is your first time really living alone since Mom died.
REV. SORENSEN: Thats not it. I worry about you.
LORI: There are 22 girls in there and perfectly safe.
REV. SORENSEN: Thats exactly what Im worried about. You dont think I know what goes on in there?
LORI: Dad, do we have to have this argument again? Im over 18. I can live my own life.
REV. SORENSEN: Oh, which means, drinking, partying with that roommate of yours!
LORI: Im an adult. I can take care of myself. Good night.
She gets out of the car and storms away from her father she can hear him in the background but ignores his calls.
REV. SORENSEN: Lori. Lori, come—Lori!
She walkes in to the sorority and then makes her way to her dorm room, LORI is walking up the stairs and stops at a girls bedroom doorway. There is a long scratch on the wall leading up to the doorway. Inside, the girl is working at her computer. LORI ignores it and walks into her bedroom. She is about to turn on the light when she sees TAYLOR sleeping and stops herself.
LORI: Taylor, you awake?
TAYLOR doesnt wake up. LORI leaves her alone and goes into her bathroom to get ready for bed.
*** while on the out skirts of town on 9 mile road.
DEAN, LYDIA and SAM drive up and get out of the car. DEAN opens the trunk and hands SAM a rifle, and Lydia an Iron crowbar and tells her to stay behind him.
DEAN: Here you go.
SAM: If it is a spirit, buckshot wont do much good.
LYDIA: Its rock salt uncle Sammy.
Dean hands the Shells to SAM.
SAM: Huh. Salt being a spirit deterrent.
DEAN takes out a coil of rope and shuts the trunk.
DEAN: Yeah. It wont kill em. But itll slow em down.
They start walking towards the trees.
SAM: Thats pretty good. You and Dad think of this?
DEAN: I told you. You dont have to be a college graduate to be a genius.
LYDIA: Daddy and Grandpa are smart, uncle sammy they have thought of alot of new ways to kill the bad things.
They hear noises among the trees and stop walking. SAM raises his gun and looks around.
Dean whispering and pointing in the direction where they heard the noise.
DEAN: Over there. Over there.
Sam aims the gun and cocks it Dean shoves Lydia into a bush and signal her to be quiet. A figure comes out from behind the trees. It is a sheriff.
SHERIFF: Put the gun down now! Now! Put your hands behind your head.
DEAN: W-w-wait, okay, okay!
SHERRIFF: Now get down on your knees. Come on, do it! On your knees!
They get down.
Now get down on your bellies. Come on, do it!
DEAN: He had the gun!
They lay down, and Lydia wathes and listens while the sherriff hand cuffs her father and uncle she sneaks back to the Impalla and hides under the Blanket playing her crouching tiger and hidden dragon game.
**** in the mean time back at the sorority****
LORI comes out of the bathroom in her pajamas, watches TAYLOR shift in her sleep, and gets into bed. unknown to her that the Hook Man was waiting in her closet, she closes her eyes and drift's off to sleep, when she is deep asleep the hook man comes out of the closet and walks over to Taylors bed and starts gutting her with the hook she dosent even have time to scream because her throat was slashed first making it a violent and soundless death, when the hook man was done he scooped Taylors blood on his hand and started tracing somthing on the wall then he simply vanished.
*****IN THE MORNING*****
LORI rolls over in her bed and opens her eyes. She sees a puddle of blood on the floor. The camera moves up and shows blood dripping from TAYLORs bed. TAYLOR is shown, dead. There is blood everywhere.
LORI: Oh my God.
She screams. She looks on the wall near TAYLORs bed. Written in blood are the words Arent you glad you didnt turn on the light? Underneath the words is a large cross with four smaller crosses surrounding it, also written in blood. LORI screams and the screen goes black.
SHERIFFS DEPT. DEAN and SAM are leaving.
DEAN: Saved your ass! Talked the sheriff down to a fine. Dude, I am Matlock.
SAM: But how?
DEAN: I told him you were a dumbass pledge and that we were hazing you.
SAM: What about the shotgun?
DEAN: I said that you were hunting ghosts and the spirits were repelled by rock salt. You know, typical Hell Week prank.
SAM: And he believed you, what about Lydia where is she?
DEAN: Well, you look like a dumbass pledge, she's fine she spent the night in the back seat of the Car I found her this morning she knows what she's suppose to do when we get in jam's like this.
Seconds later, several sheriffs run out of the building and speed away in police cars. SAM and DEAN exchange a look and quickly followed them to where they were headed thinking that this might be another attack by the spirit. they made it to the Sorority house and see that LORI is wrapped in a blanket, sitting in the back of a parked ambulance. the Winchesters drive by and look at her.
REV. SORENSEN: I just want to take her home.
SHERIFF: I understand that, Reverend. But Loris now connected to two murders, and I cant ignore that.
REV. SORENSEN: Listen to me. Arrest her now, or let me take her home.
The sheriff thinks about it for a second.
SHERIFF: Make sure shes available for questioning.
REV. SORENSEN: Thank you.
He walks over to LORI.
Sweetheart, you ready to go home?
She nodds dazedly and stands up and starts walking with him. DEAN parks the car on another street, They all get out and walk around to the back of LORIs sorority.
SAM: Why would the Hook Man come here? This is a long way from 9 Mile Road.
DEAN: Maybe hes not haunting the scene of his crime. Maybe its about something else.
Two sorority girls come out the side entrance of the building, but they dont see SAM, DEAN or Lydia. They lean against the side of the house next to some bushes to hide themselves.
DEAN: Dude, sorority girls! Think well see a naked pillow fight?
LYDIA: Daddy!
she tuggs on his jacket sleeve and points to sam.
He turns around and sees SAM trying to climb onto the balcony of the house. DEAN helps him up and then help Lydia the he climbs up himself. Once they are up there, they sneak in LORIs window. Lydia fall's on top of SAM by getting in the window.
Lydia: Oh, sorry!
Then DEAN falls into the window as well.
SAM: Be quiet.
DEAN: You be quiet.
SAM: You be quiet!
LYDIA: SHHHHHHH!
SAM opens the door slightly and sees another sheriff leaving the bedroom. SAM waits until the sheriff goes downstairs and then opens the closet door. Once in LORIs bedroom, SAM, Lydia, and DEAN see the writing on the wall.
SAM: Arent you glad you didnt turn on the light?
LYDIA: Thats right out of the legend.
DEAN: Yeah, thats classic Hook Man all right.
He taps his nose, obnoxiously.
Its definitely a spirit.
SAM: Yeah, Ive never smelled ozone this strong before.
DEAN moves over to the window.
LYDIA: Daddy, come here.
DEAN and SAM, walk over to Lydia; she points to the cross symbol beneath the writing.
LYDIA: Does that look familiar to you?
DEAN and SAM stand next to the car while Lydia sits on the hood. They are looking at a picture of the cross symbol that they found during their research.
SAM: Its the same symbol. Seems like it is the spirit of Jacob Karns.
DEAN: All right, lets find the dudes grave, salt and burn the bones, and put him down.
Sam started reading the article.
SAM: After execution, Jacob Karns was laid to rest in an Old North Cemetery. In an unmarked grave.
They all looked at each other annoyed.
DEAN: Super.
SAM: Ok. So we know its Jacob Karns. But we still dont know where hell manifest next. Or why.
DEAN: Ill take a wild guess about why. I think your little friend Lori has something to do with this.
They all get in the car, and head back to the collage after they drop Lydia off at the Motel so they could get more information out of the frat brothers and sorority sisters about Lori.
college party. DEAN walks up to SAM.
SAM: Hey.
DEAN: Man, youve been holding out on me. This college thing is awesome!
He winks and smiles at a passing girl.
SAM: This wasnt really my experience.
DEAN: Let me guess. Libraries, studying, straight As?
SAM nods.
DEAN: What a geek. Alright, you do your homework?
SAM: Yeah. It was bugging me, right? So how is the Hook Man tied up with Lori? So I think I came up with something.
He unravels a piece of paper.
DEAN: 1932. Clergyman arrested for murder. 1967. Seminarian held in hippie rampage.
SAM: Theres a pattern here. In both cases, the suspect was a man of religion who openly preached against immorality. And then found himself wanted for killings he claimed were the work of an invisible force. Killings carried out—get this—with a sharp instrument.
DEAN: Whats the connection to Lori?
SAM: A man of religion? Who openly preaches against immorality?
DEAN suddenly understands.
SAM: Except maybe this time, instead of saving the whole town, hes just trying to save his only daughter.
DEAN: Reverend Sorensen. You think hes summoning the spirit?
SAM: Maybe. Or, you know how a poltergeist can haunt a person instead of a place?
DEAN: Yeah, the spirit latches onto the reverends repressed emotions, feeds off them, yeah, okay.
SAM: Without the reverend ever even knowing it.
DEAN: Either way, you should keep an eye on Lori tonight.
SAM nods.
SAM: What about you?
DEAN looks at an attractive blonde smiling at him by the pool table.
Dean reluctantly says
DEAN: Im gonna go grab Lydia see if we can find that unmarked grave.
He looks at the blonde again, shakes his head in disappointment, and walks away.
After picking up Lydia from the motel they headed to Old North Cemetery. DEAN and Lydia were looking around with a flashlight. they comes across a headstone that is engraved with the cross symbol.
DEAN: Here we go.
They walk over to it.
At the same time, sam was at REV. SORENSENs house. watching Through the window, SAM can see LORI and her father arguing inside.
Back at Old North Cemetery. DEAN has been digging at the unmarked grave for a while as Lydia holds the Flash light so he can see in one hand and a crowbar in the other just incase they have a ghostly visitor.
DEAN: Thats it. Next time, I get to watch the cute girls house.
LYDIA: do you think sam misses college daddy?
DEAN: Probabbly sweets, he was always the one that liked school.
LYDIA: do you think he wants to go back?
Dean looks at his daughter, he knew she wasn't as close to him yet but they were making progress and he could see concern in her eyes.
DEAN: He Probabbly does, but I don't know if he ever will, he wants to find grandpa and he wants to kill the Demon that killed Grandma and Jessica, and until that happens he won't go back.
LYDIA: I hope he stays because he loves us too.
she says as she looks at her father, Dean looks back at her saddly he knows Sam loves them he just wants a normal life to much. he sighs and continues Digging a little longer until He finally breaks through the wooden floor of the grave and sees Jacob Karns remains.
DEAN: Hello, preacher.
He gives his shovel to Lydia and hopps out of the grave and grabs the salt and gasoline.
Back at REV. SORENSENs house. SAM watches REV. SORENSEN turn out the light and leave the room. LORI comes outside and sits down next to him on a bench.
LORI: I saw you from upstairs. What are you doing here?
SAM: Im keeping an eye on the place.
LORI looks at him, Shocked and flattered at the same time.
SAM: I was worried.
LORI: About me?
SAM: Yeah. Sorry.
LORI: No, its cool. I already called the cops.
She smiles. SAM laughs.
LORI: No, seriously. I think youre sweet. Which is probably why you should run away from me as fast as you can.
SAM: Why would you say that?
LORI: Its like Im cursed or something. People around me keep dying.
SAM: I think I know how you feel.
Back at Old North Cemetery. DEAN takes a few items out of his bag. lydia pours salt and Dean pours lighter fluid on the preachers bones then lights a match.
DEAN: Goodbye, preacher.
He throws the match into the grave and watches the bones burn into flames then he starts to fill in the hole with the dirt while Lydia packs up everything in the bag.
LORI: No one will talk to me anymore. Except you. The sheriff thinks Im a suspect. And you know what my dad will say? Pray. Have faith. What does he know about faith?
SAM: I heard you guys fighting before.
LORI: Hes seeing a woman. A married woman. I just found out. She comes to our church with her husband. I know her kids. And he talks to me about religion? About morality? Its like, on one hand, you know, just do what you want and be happy. But he taught me, raised me to believe that if you do something wrong you will get punished. I just dont know what to think anymore.
She hugs SAM seeking comfort. And he was slightly confused, but he hugs her back his feelings her rolling around his head on the one hand it felt really good to be with a woman like this again but then he felt horrible for using her as a gateway to getting over Jessica. They begin to kiss but SAM pulls away.
LORI: Sam?
SAM: Lori, I cant.
LORI: That someone you lost?
SAM stares at her regretfully wanting to continue but until he got justice for Jessica he couldn't ever move on.
SAM: Im sorry.
REV. SORENSEN comes outside, obviously irritated seeing Lori with a guy when they had just argued.
REV. SORENSEN: Lori? Come inside, please.
getting angry Lori turns to her father.
Ill come in when Im ready.
Suddenly, the Hook Man appears behind REV. SORENSEN and puts his hook into his shoulder. The reverend screams and the Hook Man slams the door shut. SAM grabs his gun and runs into the house. He looks around and hears REV. SORENSEN screaming upstairs.
REV. SORENSEN: No! No, please! No!
SAM runs upstairs and sees the reverends bedroom door shutting. He runs into the bedroom and sees the Hook Man on top of REV. SORENSEN, about to put his hook into the reverend.
REV. SORENSEN: No! No, no!
SAM shoots the Hook Man in the side. The Hook Man turns to SAM, who shoots him again. The Hook Man turns to dust and the gun blast shatters the bedroom window. LORI is running up the stairs.
LORI: Dad! Dad!
She bursts through the bedroom window and kneels down next to her dad.
LORI: Okay. Its ok, Dad, its ok. Its ok.
SAM watches them as he calls 911
REV. SORENSEN is in a hospital bed and LORI is standing by his side. SAM was talking to the sheriff, giving his statement.
SAM: We were just talking. Then Loris dad came out. And then he appeared.
SHERIFF: A big man? Carrying a weapon, some kind of hook?
SAM: Yes, sir.
SHERIFF: Ever seen him before?
SAM: No, sir.
SHERIFF: Son, it seems every time I turn around, Im seeing you. I suggest you try to stay out of trouble
SAM nods.
SAM: Yes, sir.
DEAN held Lydia's hand walking towards Sam as two sheriffs are walking down the hall they put their hands up gesturing for Dean and LYDIA to not go any further.
DEAN: No, its alright, we're with him. Hes our brother.
pointing to SAM
DEAN: Hey! Brother!
SAM and the sheriff turn to see DEAN and LYDIA. DEAN smiles and waves.
SHERIFF: Let them through.
The two sheriffs let DEAN, and LYDIA through.
DEAN: Thanks.
They and SAM walk towards each other.
LYDua You ok uncle Sammy?
SAM: Yeah.
DEAN: What the hell happened?
SAM: Hook Man.
DEAN: You saw him?
SAM: Damn right. Why didnt you guys torch the bones?
DEAN: What are you talking about, we did. You sure its the spirit of Jacob Karns?
SAM: It sure as hell looked like him. And thats not all. I dont think the spirit is latching on to the reverend.
DEAN: Well, yeah, the guy wouldnt send the Hook Man after himself.
SAM: I think its latching onto Lori. Last night she found out her father is having an affair with a married woman.
LYDIA: So what?
SAM: Shes upset about it. Shes upset about the immorality of it. She told me she was raised to believe that if you do something wrong, you get punished.
LYDIA: He was keeping secrets and Lying to his daughter!
DEAN: Ok, so shes conflicted. And the spirit of Preacher Karns is latching on to repress the emotions and maybe hes doing the punishing for her, huh?
SAM: Right. Rich comes on too strong, Taylor tries to make her into a party girl, Dad has an affair.
DEAN: Remind me not to piss this girl off. But I burned those bones, I buried them in salt, why didnt that stop him?
LYDIA: We missed something.
DEAN: No. we burned everything in that coffin honey.
LYDIA: We didn't get the hook!
DEAN: The hook?
SAM: Well, it was the murder weapon, and in a way, it was part of him.
DEAN: So, like the bones, the hook is a source of his power.
LYDIA: So we find the hook...
SAM and DEAN: We stop the Hook Man.
They smile at her then each other.
DEAN: my baby girl is so smart.
He said as he scooped her up and they walked out of the hospital and back to the motel for the rest of the evening and in the morning they made their way back to the library. SAM, DEAN and LYDIA were looking through more papers.
DEAN: Heres something, I think. Log book, Iowa State Penitentiary.
he said while starting to read the list.
DEAN: Karns, Jacob. Personal affects: disposition thereof.
SAM: Does it mention the hook?
DEAN: Yeah, maybe. Upon execution, all earthly items shall be remanded to the prisoners house of worship, St. Barnabas Church.
LYDIA: that's where Loris father preaches?
DEAN: Yeah.
SAM: Where Lori lives?
DEAN: Maybe thats why the Hook Man has been haunting reverends and reverends daughters for the past 200 years.
SAM: Yeah, but if the hook were at the church or Loris house, dont you think someone mightve seen it? I mean, a bloodstained, silver-handled hook?
DEAN: Check the church records.
SAM: (reading) St. Barnabas donations, 1862. Received silver-handled hook from state penitentiary. Reforged. (sighs) They melted it down. Made it into something else.
They closed all the books and put them on the cart to be restocked and deft to go to the church to look for any silver they ould find DEAN, LYDIA and SAM park the car and get out.
DEAN: Alright, we cant take any chances. Anything silver goes in the fire.
SAM: I agree. So, Loris still at the hospital. Well have to break in.
DEAN: Alright, take your pick.
SAM: Ill take the house.
DEAN: Ok.
SAM begins walking towards REV. SORENSENs house.
DEAN:Hey.
SAM turns around.
Stay out of her underwear drawer.
Lydia elbows her father in the gut and rolls her eyes and then grabs his hand and pulls him in the direction of the church. while sam shakes his head an walks away.
In the Church. Basement. LYDIA is handing Dean the silver they had collected and he was throwing everything into the fire. SAM comes downstairs with a bag of things from LORIs house.
SAM: I got everything that even looked silver.
DEAN: Better safe than sorry.
They throw everything into the fire. Suddenly, they hear footsteps above them.
DEAN: Move, move.
He takes his gun quietly walks upstairs with SAM and LYDIA behind him.
Upstairs. DEAN, LYDIA and SAM see that LORI is sitting in a pew alone, crying. DEAN lowers his gun and grabs LYDIA'S hand and the go back downstairs. SAM walks over to LORI.
SAM: Lori?
LORI: What are you doing here?
SAM: What is it?
LORI: Ive been trying to understand whats been happening. Why? Now I know so Im praying for forgiveness.
SAM: Forgiveness for what?
LORI: Dont you see? Im to blame for all this. Ive read in the Bible about avenging angels.
SAM: Trust me, this guy—hes no angel.
LORI: I was so angry at my father. Part of me wanted him punished. And then he came and he punished him.
SAM: Its not your fault.
LORI: Yes, it is. I dont know how, but it is.
In the back of the church, the Hook Man appears for a moment un seen by Sam and Lori then he disappears quickly.
I killed Rich. Taylor, too. I nearly killed my father.
SAM: Lori...
LORI: I can see it now. They didnt deserve to be punished. I do.
They hear a noise come from the front of the church. The candles at the altar blow out; LORI and SAM in the church.
SAM: Come on. We gotta go.
He leads her away and opens the door to the basement. But the Hook Man is behind it and pushes his hook through the door.
SAM: Go!
SAM 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 two 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.
SAM: Come on. You okay?
The Hook Man appears and knocks SAM backwards into a wall. He gets up and maneuvers behind the Hook Man, who is standing over LORI. DEAN suddenly enters with his gun raised.
DEAN: Sam, drop!
SAM crouches down and DEAN shoots the Hook Man once. He disappears into dust.
SAM: I thought we got all the silver.
DEAN: So did I.
SAM: Then why is he still here?
DEAN: Well, maybe we missed something!
They look around. LYDIA notices a cross necklace that LORI is wearing.
LYDIA : Lori, where did you get that chain?
LORI: My father gave it to me.
DEAN: Whered your dad get it?
LORI: He said it was a church heirloom, he gave it to me when I started school.
SAM: Is it silver?!
LORI: 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.
DEAN: Sam!
DEAN throws SAM the rifle and the rock salt and SAM tosses DEAN the necklace he grabbs Lydia and they both run back downstairs. SAM aims the gun at the scratch that is being made and shoots. He quickly reloads the gun with rock salt.
DEAN and LYDIA run downstairs and DEAN throws LORIs necklace into the fire, and they both watch it ment into nothing.
SAM is still loading the gun with his injured hand and shoulder. The Hook Man appears and knocks the rifle out of SAMs hand. SAM and LORI crawl into the corner and watch the Hook Man tower over them, sam was whispering Pleas for Dean and LYDIA to get the chain in the fire quickly. In the fire, the cross pendant breaks off the chain and melts.
Upstairs. The Hook Man stops with his hook in the air. The hook melts and the rest of his body burns into nothing. DEAN and LYDIA run upstairs to make sure the Hook Man is gone. They walk over to SAM and LORI and DEAN gives them a knowing look, while LYDIA slumps on a chair that didn't get damaged in the fight.
****the Next day***
Sheriffs are walking around and there is an ambulance parked outside.
SHERIFF: And you saw him, too? The man with the hook?
DEAN: Yes, I told you, we all saw him. We fought him off and then he ran.
SHERIFF: you mean a little girl fought off a man with a Hook?
DEAN: no LYDIA didn't do any fighting she was with Lori in the corner of the room.
SHERIFF: And thats all?
DEAN: Yeah, thats all.
SHERIFF: Listen. You and your brother and sister—
DEAN: Oh, dont worry, were leaving town.
He walks over to his car, Lydia was already in the back seat.
LORI watches SAM finish getting bandaged up.
LORI: You gonna be okay?
SAM: Yeah.
Back at the car, DEAN and LYDIA are watching SAM and LORI through his side view mirror.
LYDIA: Uncle Sammy likes her huh daddy?
DEAN: I believe he does little LYDI.
LORI: I still dont know what happened. But I do know you saved my life. My fathers, too. Thank you.
SAM nods and smiles. DEAN and LYDIA watch through the mirror and notices SAM just walks away without another word. SAM walks to the car and gets in.
DEAN: We could stay.
SAM shakes his head. DEAN watches LORI looking sad, through the mirror. He shakes his head in disappointment and drives away.
