Original subtitles

I'm telling you, Maya.

My third eye opened after today's circle.

I'm seeing all of them.

They're all dull.

You know the Russian one?

Trapped inside our parents.

And our parents' parents.

Circle's over, Barry.

Time to relax.

See where the night goes.

I should go home tonight.

You know, tell my old man exactly what's on my mind.

Look. You can see the Milky Way.

What's that?

Barry? Dad?

I knew this stuff was laced.

Time to go home, son.

Barry!

It's too late.

I'm letting you go.

I said it's time.

The ties that bind a family together can be complicated.

Parents raise you, teach you what's right and wrong, and in some instances,

how to kill monsters.

But no matter who you are, there comes a time when you have to break from them

and make your own way.

And if you're not careful, things can get pretty ugly.

How did that end your dad's trail?

The phone went down recently.

Save the mental letter files about the Akrida are here, and make sure these

bodies are just zombies.

Latha, we're not here to play with zombies.

It's dead.

Twice over, actually.

Look.

His jaw can dislocate.

Could be a bite, I presume.

You are deeply weird and starting to concern me.

Trial cabinets are all empty.

If there was information about the Akrida, it's gone.

Because my dad already has it.

He was here.

And he made it out alive.

Let's see.

Samuel Campbell.

He taught me how to make shotgun shells. Always signed his work.

But why wouldn't he wait for us or try to contact you, Murray?

This is his way of contacting me.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, I think some got my mouth.

So what about those shells?

My dad always covers his tracks.

There's no way he would leave these behind if he wasn't trying to send me a

message.

a news story.

A father said his kid, Barry Smith, went missing in Topeka, Kansas due to

mysterious circumstances.

My dad must be there and he wants us to meet him.

To find some kid who's probably sleeping off an acid trip?

Come on, Mary, your dad came here for the same reason that we did.

To find the men of letters files and talk about our good friend, Mia Crida.

Remember them?

And their little plan to take over our world?

Yeah, and whatever he found must have made him think that this is connected to

them. Or he just wants us off his tail.

He needs help.

And we're going to Topeka to find him.

What about fixing our ball, Ada?

My dad is out there alone.

We need to find him before the Akrita do. Mary, just stop.

Ada, you set up shop in the clubhouse and dig into fixing this box.

The rest of us will talk to this kid's dad and see what's going on.

So you're just making decisions for everyone now? I'm following in my

father's footsteps.

Which means you don't listen like he never listens. I'm doing whatever it

takes to find him.

Sue's with me.

Hey, you okay?

In the war, I was a scout.

My job was to find things.

I was good at that, but... Dragging out the last couple weeks looking for your

dad, I just... started to get worried.

About?

My dad left me that letter because he wanted me to follow in his footsteps.

Well, in the Marines, did you learn how to be a scout overnight?

You have nothing to worry about. You did good back there.

Thanks.

I guess I'm lucky that I have such a good teacher.

Real smooth.

Ow.

That was my bruised arm from the two zombies that I killed.

Oh, no, no, no. You technically killed one.

Well, no, I mean...

Just give me a sec.

We had a deal.

You promised to come home. Said it's your dad all over again.

You disappear for a week, and when you finally do come back, you're covered in

blood. Not my blood. I waited for a call. A single call.

And when the phone finally rang, you know who it was?

Betty.

And the only thing that shows up is some trash roadrunner with your name on it.

First of all, that's my friend's car, and I'm going to fix it.

Second, I didn't call because it wasn't a part of the deal.

I spent the last week with your father's things.

His whole life reduced to a box. Is that all I'm going to have left of you two?

You don't think I can do this?

That's what this is about.

Right.

John! Let's go, guys.

Nervous? No, I'm not nervous.

I think I just prefer the less talky, more punchy side of hunting.

Well, you're going to have to learn it all if you're going to do it all.

Just remember, we're telling a story. A story about a missing kid from college,

which these fake IDs that Carlos made prove we went to.

You're not serious.

I'm Mick Fleetwood.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Mick. I'm Christine McVie.

Come on.

How about you show me a smile?

Really want me to lay it all down?

Ah, now you're in character.

Let's go.

Not saying the name.

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm Mick Fleetwood.

This is my friend Christine.

We're friends at Barry's from school.

Do you have a minute to talk?

Think you brought enough book?

There's even more in the van.

Glad we had this talk.

Did you hear John's mom back at the garage?

She mentioned someone named Betty.

Got to be an ex, right?

Hey!

You love gossip, what's wrong?

You've been off since Savannah.

I want to find Samuel, I do, but... I'm used to being the only one on stage, you

know?

I don't.

Never been on stage.

Yeah, because you're built for a band, Lata. I'm not.

Especially when Mary's on lead vocals.

She only knows how to sing Samuel's song.

I know those lyrics.

Ballad of the Camberway of the Highway.

So, no sign of my dad or the Agreda, but there is a case here. Why?

What did you find out about the dad?

Our missing kid, Barry, got caught up with this girl named Maya.

and she took him to this commune called Harper's Ranch.

Now, Barry's dad talked to Maya.

He said she saw Barry get taken by some kind of monster.

His dad just assumed she was on the drug.

A monster, you say?

A commune, you say?

Oh, Lois, just stop smiling.

Why are you smiling?

Oh, you know what's funny.

When the moon is in the seventh house

and Jupiter alive.

Because we're going undercover in a damn commune.

Okay, stop. This is a solo.

And love will see the stars.

So far, all I see is a lot of peace, love, and happiness.

Oh, you know what they say.

When in Rome.

Okay, tripping the light fantastic is gonna have to wait.

So you guys find Maya, and we're gonna figure out who's in charge here.

It sounded like I barely saw his dad come out in the woods.

We had just gotten back from Circle, and I know his old man was fresh on his

mind.

Did you see his dad?

No, I thought some creepy old thing.

I don't know. It was dark.

I'm sure it was just the drugs.

Clyde thinks Barry maybe ran off to California.

Who's Clyde?

We're always happy to welcome new members.

Eager to do the hard work they need to change.

Yeah, what kind of work is that?

Breaking free from tyranny.

Everyone that's controlling you.

Shedding your past like your skin.

Especially the people who hurt you.

For me, it was Sister Bernadette at St. Nicholas' orphanage.

But for most people, it's their parents.

Well, make yourselves at home.

And when you're ready, I will be your guy.

He's definitely a suspect.

All right, you saw something. What did I miss?

It's that necklace.

I've seen that symbol before.

Let's go to the van and see if we can find in lots of books Um,

excuse me I Didn't get a chance to introduce myself earlier

Right one of John's new friends

Ada Monroe

John

just needs time He'll go to his corner. He'll come back when he's ready.

You learned all that after one week on the road with my son? Learned all that

from his father.

Look, Henry and I just worked together.

He had his secrets. He made his mistakes.

But John, John is open in a way that Henry just never was. And I suspect that

part of him comes from you.

I won't take up any more of your time.

I wanted to give you this.

What is this?

The number and address of the motel where John and the others are staying.

It's... peace of mind.

Thank you, Ada.

There is one more thing.

My father's by when we drove in.

Do you mind if I take some of it?

You can take all of it if you want.

Henry planted it years ago and never learned its name, much less how to take

care of it.

Somehow it's still here after all these years.

It's Jasmine.

It's for protection.

Celtic.

Triskelion. Symbol for... Transformation.

Maya said Barry saw his father, but...

Might as well some creature.

Maybe we're dealing with a shapeshifter. Or these kids were just high.

If we're dealing with a shapeshifter, then which kind? There's dozens.

I don't know. But if it's Clyde, we need to find him before he shifts into

another person.

Or takes another victim.

Come on.

Did I have Barry go missing out here?

Missing?

I'm sure he just followed his bliss to California.

You know, it's not easy to make the break, even for me.

You heard about how hard it was when I escaped my mother figure, but it's part

of the journey we all must take.

Do you see that?

See what?

It's a shapeshifter.

Any tips on how to hunt something that can look like anything?

My dad always taught me this trick. You have to look for their tail. No

shapeshifter is perfect.

So you have to look for any slip-ups in behavior.

And if that doesn't work, the part where they're trying to kill you is usually a

dead giveaway.

Great, yeah. I'll have to thank your dad for that one.

Once we find him.

You make quite the pair, huh?

Can't find one of your parents?

I can't seem to get my mom off my back.

Wow, what she said really got under your skin, huh?

What got under my skin is... I wonder if she's right.

What if I'm not caught, to be honest?

John, I already told you. You just need time.

You're right.

It's my life, not hers.

Mayor!

Come here, we got something.

We found her wandering in a daze.

And not the fun, drug-induced kind.

Clyde got attacked.

He's not the shapeshifter.

Layla said this is where it happened, but I don't see any signs of Clyde or

where he was taken.

Well, if you want to know what kind of shapeshifter we're dealing with, there's

only one with green blood.

A mimic.

My parents and I went up against one in Alabama.

Wait, that's...

Good news, right? That means we know how to kill it. They're only vulnerable to

weapons made out of copper.

You mean literally the only metal I don't have in my van? You're kidding,

right? Why not? Because I pride myself on carrying quality weaponry, not cheap

garbage made out of pennies.

I think I might know where we can get some.

I mean, the plumbing back at the motel is made out of copper, so we could use

that to make weapons.

Guys, I don't... I think we're dealing with a mimic.

This isn't blood. It looks like sap to me.

What, you think we're dealing with some kind of tree monster?

I'm not sure.

But that's not the only part that's strange.

These puffled flowers, I've never seen anything like them.

I'd have to check the lore, but perhaps they're connected.

I appreciate you kicking the tires on this one, Lata, but we finally have an

idea on this monster.

John, take the hippie's van, get back to the motel, and grab those pipes.

Let's track this thing down.

Ada. Latha.

We found the flower.

I don't know, maybe it's a few birds, but... Lay it on me.

Purple, eight petals.

Actually kind of pretty if you... How are the leaves?

Sharp, spiky.

And there's a sap.

Dark green, tacky.

Smells like... Bad honey.

It reminds me of a rare flower found in the remote regions of Colombia. I have a

book. Don't bother. I've packed, like, a ton of books.

I'm pretty sure it's in the van.

Thank you.

Ada, good luck.

You too.

Stupid dress.

Okay, will you just come out with it?

And you're clearly mad at me.

You haven't given me the silent treatment since I admitted I hate a

cabaret. Please, please don't open that wound again.

This is about me and Lata earlier, isn't it?

It's about you and everyone.

You can't keep treating people like your dad, the front man who ignores the rest

of the band.

You need to listen.

Why do I have time for that, especially when there's a monster out there putting

people in danger? Your dad never listened to you, right?

And how did that make you feel?

He keeps Samuel up on this pedestal, but it's time to take him down, Mayor.

Take a page from what everyone in this commune is talking about and embrace the

kind of leader you can be without him.

What kind of leader is that?

Well, that's up to you.

But if it were up to me, you'd be David Crosby.

You know C-S-N-N-Y?

Well, there's no Y anymore. That's not the point. The point is we'd all be on

equal footing singing four-part harmony.

Mata, don't speak up on us like that. We thought you were the mimic.

Wait.

Are you the mimic?

No.

Prove it. How?

When was the last time I gave Mary the silent treatment?

Are you afraid to never talk about it?

Fine.

Cabaret.

She's not the mimic.

Because I was right.

We're not hunting a mimic. That's why I ran here.

Look, Ada helped me identify the flower we've been seeing.

It's from Colombia and incredibly rare. And the only explanation for them being

here is this.

Her name is Latinda. According to Laura, she was a real woman once.

A controlling and abusive mother who kept her children trapped in their home

deep in the woods.

Until one day they tried to escape by hobbling her.

She caught them and she punished them for their disobedience by chopping them

up and using their remains to feed her flower garden.

The children's remains imbued Latunda's flowers with dark magic and an

insatiable thirst for blood.

So they transformed Latunda into a monster to keep them fed.

Now she preys on other disobedient children like her own and listens for

them in the woods.

Then she lures them in with a familiar face before dragging them into a lair to

feed on them.

Slowly, painfully, and over months.

What better place to do that than here, right?

I mean, Barry said he told his girlfriend that he was going to stand up

to his dad before he was taken.

And Clyde did the same thing with Sister Bernadette.

And so did John.

Did?

If Latunda was listening, John could be in danger.

Let's go.

Mom? You're not even listening to me. Of course I am.

And I know why you're so upset.

A child's job is to rebel.

Look, I'm not a kid, okay? And I'm not rebelling.

Mom, I... I don't want to fight with you, okay? But I just...

Look, I wish that you believed in me.

I can do this.

Who are you trying to convince, John?

It isn't about me or your friends.

Deep down, you know it's your dad that never believed in you.

That's not true.

Please.

We both know that if he really wanted you to follow in his footsteps, he would

have stayed, trained you to be a part of the men in letters like he was. But he

didn't. We're done here. Not yet.

You have to face this.

I know it's painful.

Knowing that you were the reason he left.

Thinking about what could have been.

Especially after hearing...

All those stories about Samuel training your new friend, Mary.

It's funny.

I don't remember telling you about him.

Or Mary.

But I do remember this one poker tip they gave me.

I'm not a mimic either.

John?

We're too late.

She has him. Where?

Her lair.

No, he has to be here.

I'm afraid I don't know where that is.

This is all my fault.

I should have just listened to both of you. I just... I just really thought my

dad was going to be out here, and when I realized he wasn't, I just wanted to

close the case and move on.

I'm sorry.

You're giving me the silent treatment again.

I'm just trying not to keel over from all the shock. I mean, Mary Campbell

apologizing. I just never thought we'd live to see the day.

What he means is, of course we forgive you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

We're going to find him, Mare.

And we're going to get him back.

So what do we do now?

Well, you're the one who told us we're dealing with Audrey 3. So you tell us.

What's the plan, Lotta?

Don't worry.

Okay?

I'm gonna get this out of here.

She'll kill you if you try.

She doesn't like children. It's okay.

LeTunia's an abusive parent gone mad.

She's been preying on children for centuries, feeding them, becoming more

powerful. She's more plant than person now.

Okay, so how do we kill her? A one-two punch of some DDT and a pair of garden

shears?

It says her heart is the only part of her that's vulnerable.

Legend says it has to be pierced by a piece of magic as strong as her.

We may be able to use a part of Latunda's own magic against her.

How?

Part of her own magic.

Wait, you're kidding, right?

You want us to use her own leg to stab her in the heart and kill her?

You said it, not me.

I'm a pacifist, remember?

I can't twist it enough. It might just work.

I take it back. I love that deeply weird side of you. Okay, okay. Let's say we

can make this work. We still don't even know where to find her.

I think I might.

When I was proud of you, son.

But now when I look at you, all I see is disappointment.

Dad, Dad, Dad. Don't do this.

No, no, no.

No,

no, no.

Jacob.

You shouldn't have disobeyed me, John.

Now I have to punish you.

Are you sure following these path of flowers will lead us to Letunda? Just go

with it. We trust in Samuel.

He's following in his footsteps now.

Think you can stand up to me you don't

Okay, I'll help John. You guys save Barry. Go.

Hey, Poison Oak.

Feeding time's over.

Go for the leg.

You can't hurt me.

You're still just the helpless little boy my father left because he didn't

believe in you.

I just need to believe in myself.

Nice shirt.

Can I introduce me to your friend?

Who's Mary?

Nice to meet you, Miss Winchester.

Call me Millie.

It's your car, I assume?

You're all set?

It's on the house.

Really? At least I could do. You brought my kid home safe.

Thank you.

John, look, wait, before you tear into me, can I just, can I go first?

I thought that I was angry at you for not believing in me, but I wasn't.

Okay, I would... I was angry at Dad, and I did what I always do, which is...

I took out on you what I can't take out on him.

I'm sorry.

I do believe in you, John.

The day that picture was taken, your dad and I got into a fight.

About the men of letters and how it was always taking him away from us.

But...

Your dad and I have this rule.

Whenever we fought, no matter how bad I got, we had to find a way to tell each

other after, I love you.

We followed our rule that day, and you can tell.

The last fight we had, the day he walked out the door, you know what, neither of

us stopped to tell each other.

We're always going to have our fight.

And I'm always going to worry about my baby.

But I am never going to let you walk out that door again without telling you I

love you.

I love you too, Mom.

Anna, for my heroes.

Eat it before it gets cold.

That's literal cheese?

Plain and boring how you like it.

Thanks for calling me out back there.

I hate to admit it, but you're right.

But I do have one question. If I'm Crosby, then what does that make you?

You really have to ask?

Neil. Neil Young.

I mean, I may be part of this band, but you better watch out because I'm also a

renegade.

So,

did you finally get your parent off your back?

Not even close.

No, no, she's still worried about me, but at least she believed in me.

We call that a win.

I'm sorry we didn't find your dad.

We got a monster off the board. I call that a win, too.

I think I have a lead on the box.

What is this place?

There's more to the clubhouse than you may have guessed.

I'll give you a full tour later.

Not the kind you're thinking. Those will kill you in seconds.

What are these?

Automatic writing.

I brewed a potion to tap into my subconscious so I could access the echo

of any remaining portion of the demon that possessed me.

That sounds awful.

The demon that possessed me is dead.

But he knew the demon that attacked you all, and they both knew about the box,

so if we can find that demon... We might be able to get some answers.

And the Akrida.

And my father.

while I am loving this conversation I would just like to point out that we

still have some pizza waiting for us so

you

who

are on the road must have a code that you can

live by

And so become yourself because the path

is just a goodbye.

Teach your children well.

Their father's hell did slowly go by.

And feed them on your dreams.

The one they picked.

The one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why.

If they told you you would try.

So just look at them and sigh.
