- Breaker, breaker one three.
Come in, Big Rig Mama.
This is Twinkle Star calling.
Do you copy?
- Copy that, Twinkle Star.
You've got Big Rig Mama.
I'm ten in the wind and halfway to Hogtown.
What's the situation, little lady?
- It's Bernice, Mama.
I can't find her anywhere.
- Did you ask your brother to help you look, hon?
- Yes.
Can you come home and help me find her, please?
I miss her so much.
- Carrie, sweetie pie,
our family needs this paycheck.
You understand what that means, right?
- Yes.
- I'll be home in a few days.
Until then I need you to be a big girl.
Can you do that for Mama?
- 10-4. I'll be a big girl.
- That's my little star.
Sleep well, baby. Big Rig Mama signing off.
- Twinkle Star signing off.
Bernice!
I've missed you.
I thought I'd never find you.
- There's no map to being a hunter.
No playbook.
You gotta follow your gut.
But that can only take you so far.
Truth is, you can't do it all on your own.
You need other people to help guide the way...
Your friends, your family.
Otherwise you just end up lost.
- Yeah, uh, I know.
Well, just tell her I called if you do see her.
Okay?
Thanks, Nina.
- Still no word from your mom?
- Mm. I heard she was working
with a group of hunters in Minnesota
a couple months ago.
But I'm not even sure she knows my dad's missing.
Keep leaving messages.
- So they're still separated, then?
- They never gave a reason why.
But nothing's been the same since Maggie died,
for any of us.
So we've gone through
every single one of my dad's hunting journals,
every note on a scrap, and I still can't find him.
- Hey.
We're not gonna stop until we find him.
- Okay, but even if we do find something,
what does it matter if he wants to stay lost?
- Okay, do you really think that your dad sent us
all the way to Topeka to lose his trail?
- Um, well...
Last time I talked to my dad,
we got into a really huge argument
about quitting hunting.
And I don't know, I just feel
like him being out there,
him leaving me behind to worry,
it just feels like he's giving me the silent treatment.
- Maybe there' another reason.
You told him what you wanted.
Maybe he's trying to prove that he can do it alone
so you can leave.
You guys have been at this for days.
How about a little break at least,
just for a couple of hours?
I don't know, maybe go see a movie?
- A movie?
- Yeah, yeah. A movie.
Um, do you want me to check what's playing?
- Well, you can take a break if you need to.
You can see "The Omega Man."
But I'm gonna check in with Ada,
see if she knows something.
- All of this from a trance?
- It was the only way to access
the echo of the demon that possessed me.
That demon was after the exact same thing
as your father.
- This lovely item,
which I take is still more of a paperweight
than a monster-killing box?
- Without that thing working,
we don't stand a chance at stopping
the Akrida from invading our world.
Now, what did come from the writing
may be a path to fix the box.
The demon that possessed me
and the demon that attacked you all
outside of the clubhouse, they're partners.
They were working together to try to find that box.
- Well, the demon that possessed you
was killed by the box.
So better find the partner.
- Exactly, which leads
to the other piece of the puzzle I found.
This address is reoccurring
in different fragments of the writing.
- Do you know the place? - No.
I'm guessing the demon did.
I know it's not much to go off of, but it's...
- Mary, good. You're here.
- Losy, what's wrong? - Just drove by your place.
And cop cars everywhere at your neighbor's house.
Looked like an episode of "Dragnet."
You're close with them, right?
- Yeah. Their dad's out of the picture,
and their mom's a long-haul trucker,
so I keep an eye on the kids whenever I can.
Okay, I have to go over there and see if they're okay.
Thank you. - I'll go with you.
- I'll go check out this address.
- Uh, don't go alone.
Bring Carlos, and if you see a demon,
call Lata here, and we'll come running.
- So how old are these kids?
- Ford's 12. Carrie's 8.
With their mom gone so much, they're both handfuls...
Act a lot older than they are.
Guess it reminds me of me when I was their age.
- John?
Betty. Hi.
You're a... you're a cop.
- No flies on you, huh?
It's nice to see you. - Yeah.
- But I do have to ask you, since this is a crime scene,
what are you doing here? - My friend lives here,
actually. - Oh.
- Well, not here, here.
Next door.
- Um, that friend is me. - Oh.
- Hi, I'm Mary.
- Mary Campbell? - Yeah.
We got ahold of Mrs. Billups.
She said to contact you and your dad
to look after Ford.
- Where's Carrie?
- She's missing.
- Do you mind if I... - Not at all.
- Thank you.
- So, uh, what's the story there?
- Oh, no. We, uh... it's a study group.
Yeah, I enrolled in a community college
when I got back. - Wow.
- Yeah. - You know, I called you.
The second I heard you got back.
- I-I know. I, um...
I-I should have called. - It's okay.
All I wanted to say is that I'm really glad
you got home safe, Johnny.
- Thanks, Betty.
- What is it, Ford? You can tell me.
- I skipped this part with the police.
I knew if I told them, they'd think I was crazy.
When I got to Carrie's room,
I saw something grab her.
- Something?
- I... all I saw was this long, twisted arm.
It pulled her into some kind of sack and...
And disappeared into thin air.
And...
Great.
Now you think I'm crazy, don't you?
- No, I don't.
And I'm gonna get your sister back, Ford.
I promise.
Ford said something grabbed his sister,
and then she vanished.
- That, uh, lines up with what Betty me.
- Sounds like you two had fun talking shop, huh?
- I didn't tell her what we do, if that's what you're asking.
Told her that we were study buddies.
I've never see one of these in a kid's room before.
- Oh, that's how Ford and Carrie talk
to their mom on the road.
I have one too.
My dad taught me how to use one when I was Carrie's age.
Had me scan the dial and listen
for hunter code words in the chatter.
- You said you started young. You weren't kidding.
- Sometimes I'd fall asleep listening to the truckers.
It always made a me wonder what it would be like
to have a normal life.
- What'd you imagine? Hmm?
I mean, what did Mary Campbell want to be when she grew up?
Doctor?
Lawyer?
An astronaut.
I mean, come on. There had to be something.
See, I, I wanted to be a catcher
for the Kansas City Athletics.
- My parents never let me dream like that.
Being a kid who killed monsters was my only option.
- You know, when I was a kid, I, um...
I made this list of all of these places
I was gonna go to look for my dad.
Kept it for years, crossing off destinations,
adding more.
Enough time goes by...
all you see is a list, you know?
- Are you saying I should stop
looking for my dad?
- I'm saying that once you find him
and leave hunting for good,
you're gonna need a new list.
- Hey.
Check this out.
- Looks like some kind of fabric.
- The kind that belongs to a disappearing sack?
- It's a hex bag.
- What's in it?
- It's herbs, blessed dirt, bones.
It's powerful.
It's designed to ward off any and all malicious spirits.
My folks made sure this house was super monster-proof,
but an extra layer can't hurt.
Ford will be safe here.
Okay, you grab that bag and hang it over that window.
I'll grab the other one.
- Mm, whoa, whoa. What is that thing?
Uh, it's just herbs and dirt.
I know, I know, it smells bad, but it's for good luck.
I need all the luck I can get.
Hey, I saw you talking to that lady cop earlier.
Is she a friend of yours?
Um...
I have, uh, more important things
to worry right now.
Mary and I are gonna find you sister, Ford.
We just... we need you to stay put okay?
No. No, I'm not staying put.
I was supposed to look after Carrie
but I lost her.
I'm coming with you guys to help.
- They best way you can help
is by staying here, where it's safe.
- Those bags you put up
aren't just for good luck, are they?
That thing that I saw take Carrie,
that thing was real.
- Yeah.
Hey.
Ford, can you keep a secret?
Okay.
My friends and I,
we take care of things like you saw.
- Like a-a monster club?
- Absolutely like monster club.
- Can I be in the monster club?
- Yeah, but as long as you remember the first rule:
monster club is a secret.
Got it?
Okay, and don't go back to your house.
Just stay here, where it's safe.
And don't worry, we're gonna get Carrie back.
I promise.
- You're listening to your siren of the airwaves,
Rockin' Roxy.
Here's a new one that's sure to have you buggin' out.
This new pirate radio DJ
cooks up a tasty ear palate.
I approve.
It's a fitting soundtrack for the end of my life,
my youth withering to decay here in the most boring act
of all hunterdom:
a stakeout.
- Patience, my friend.
- Easy for you to say.
You brought along a Zen gardening project.
Do you really think your demon's partner
is actually shacked up here?
- Well, that's what were trying to figure out
by keeping an eye out on things.
- Or you can put down your little snippers
and we could bust the door open.
- Great idea.
- Muchas gracias for ending my pain, amigo.
Allow me to start yours.
Holy water?
Way out of your league, slick.
- Toss him in.
Quick thinking.
- How'd you know I keep a devil's trap in there?
- I've rode in the back of that van
across three straight lines.
- Good to see you again, Ada.
- We should tell Mary and the others
we got ourselves a demon.
Let's take him someplace quiet
so we can talk with him first.
- I was able to identify the fabric you found.
The pattern's North Indian.
Ironically, not far from where I was born.
I might have been able to identify it sooner
if not for the fact that it's over 1,000 years old.
- Okay, so not something you'd find in a Woolworths catalog?
- I wish it was.
There's only one monster I know of
that might leave something like this behind.
I always thought it was just story.
His name is Bori Baba, or Father Sack.
It's equivalent to the bogeyman where I'm from.
- Okay, why do I get the feeling
he doesn't deliver presents in that thing?
- In a rather disturbing way, it does.
See, Bori Baba lures its victims
by tempting them with an item they've lost.
And not just any item.
Something that has deep meaning to them.
When a person wishes for this item to be found,
the sack appears.
Then Bori Baba emerges from it, takes them,
and traps them in its maze.
It tends to stay
in one area for a while.
It likes to play with its food.
It enjoys taunting and hunting them
until it eats them alive.
- A Colombian hag and now North Indian bogeyman.
Do you guys find it weird that we're coming across
so many wayward monsters?
- And all of them so close to home,
this one quite literally so.
- Okay, well, what are you thinking?
- I'm not sure.
But all of these unicorns started popping up
as soon as the Akrida did.
That has to mean something.
- Okay, well, Akrida or not, we still gotta find
this Bori Baba.
What else do you know?
- Unfortunately, very little.
Apart from this entry,
there's no written lore on how to track it.
No details on how to kill it.
Bori Baba stories are largely a part of oral tradition,
passed down from generation to generation.
- Did you hear it when you were a kid?
- My father told me.
To this day, I still have nightmares about it.
But I don't remember any details
on how to defeat it or escape it.
- Okay, well, why don't you just ask your folks?
I mean, I'm sure they remember something about it.
- Um, Lata's parents died years ago.
- I'm so... I'm sorry, I didn't... - That's okay.
It's late there, but I can try to contact
some of the people back home.
If we're lucky, someone will know
how to stop this monster before it hurts Carrie.
And I'm pulling
this next one from
the very deepest part
of the record crate.
To describe it as a B-side...
- Carrie?
Carrie...
- Ford, we got cheeseburgers and fries
from the Grill Palace.
Ford?
- Uh, maybe he got homesick and went back to his house.
- No, he knows it's not safe.
What if he's out there looking for Carrie by himself?
- Uh, I'm gonna handle this. Just keep looking.
Hey.
- You and Mary take this study group
pretty seriously.
- Yeah. Yeah, no, we, uh... we have a...
big exam coming up.
Wh-what about you?
What are you... What are you doing here?
- I'm checking on Ford.
- Right. Yeah, so no, you actually just...
You just... Just missed him, actually.
Mary took Ford on a snack run, so...
They walked.
- Ford?
- Anyway, I will, uh...
I'll let Mary know that you stopped by.
- Hey...
I know we didn't end things perfect, okay?
But we had a deal.
We'd talk when you got back.
- I-I know. I just, um...
Look, when I... when I got back,
some stuff came up about my dad.
Okay? It's... complicated.
But the long and short of it is he's gone.
- I'm so sorry, Johnny.
- I think a part of me always knew.
Anyway, that's kind of what I've been wrapped up with.
Not really how we left things, so...
there's... There's no hard feelings here.
Not for me.
- Well, I'm here
if you ever want to talk, okay?
Let the Campbells and Ford know I stopped by.
They need anything, just call.
Mary?
- John?
- Mary?
- John! Can you hear me?
John?
- Hey. Hey, what's going on? Where are you?
- Bori Baba took Ford.
It must have lured him outside the house.
- Okay. All right. But...
we're gonna get 'em both back, Mary.
Okay? Just...
Let's call Lata and see if she has anything.
- They don't have time for us to just keep guessing.
- Okay. So what do you want to do?
Mary, where are you?
- We don't know how to get people
out of Bori Baba's sack.
But we do know how to get in.
- Please tell me you're not doing
what I think you're doing.
- I can't leave those kids alone with that thing.
Lata told us the rules.
You think of something you've lost
and the sack appears.
And I've got plenty to choose from.
- Damn it, Mary.
Don't do this.
Okay, if you do this,
you're gonna get stuck in there forever.
- I'll kill Bori Baba.
You get us out of the sack.
- Mary, I don't know how, okay?
J-just wait. We'll find him together.
Just-just please, Mary. - Work with Lata,
trust your instincts, and I'll handle the rest.
- Mary... please, no.
- You found me once, John Winchester.
I have faith you'll do it again.
- Mary...
- Yes.
- So how does a botany lesson get this guy to talk?
He knows. Don't you?
- My buddy and I talked a lot
when he was shacked up inside you.
I know all about your pathetic dreams,
like becoming a witch.
But you don't have the know-how to pull off a spell like that.
- Spell like what?
- Demons can possess non-human living things too.
Even bonsai trees.
- You can put a demon in a plant?
She can put you in a plant?
- Small thing, isn't it?
Amazing. That little tree can live for hundreds of years.
Imagine being trapped that long,
unable to scream or fight for centuries.
- Don't look at me, dude.
This one's full of surprises today.
I mean, she could have
a hundred demons in that tree, for all I know.
- Once the spell is started, it can't be stopped.
All it takes is just one drop...
- Wait, wait.
What... what exactly do you want to know?
- You and your partner knew about this box.
How did you know about it?
- My partner was the details guy.
Thanks to that box, he's toast now.
- He didn't tell you anything about it?
How it powers up or... - I didn't care.
The Akrida can't be stopped.
Even with that thing working, there's too many of them.
Me and my buddy, we went AWOL from hell.
Crossed lines to make a deal with the Akrida.
We get them that box,
they let us live when they destroy all life
on the planet.
- Who'd you make this deal with?
- I don't know.
But their leader took a page out of the demonic playbook.
It's hiding inside a human.
- Who's the leader pretending to be?
- I said I didn't know. - Give us a name.
- Some woman, all right? That's all I know.
Now, exorcise me and send me back home already.
- Do you want me to do the Latin or...
No, no, no, no.
- Wh-why did you... - We send him back to hell,
he tells his friends about us.
If we need any more information,
we know exactly where to find him.
Right, Slick?
- You are a deep mystery, Ada Monroe,
and honestly...
I kind of dig that about you.
Help me get the host back in the van.
We'll get him set up at a hospital
before we head back.
- Still can't believe Bori Baba's real.
- I'm gonna summon him.
- And end up trapped in the sack too?
How is that gonna help Mary?
- What else are we supposed to do, Lata?
I mean, you said it yourself.
Okay, you called everyone back home,
and nobody knows how to get someone out.
So what are we supposed to do?
I just... hunting... Okay, this-this work,
this is the first time in my life
that anything has made sense, you know?
- The opportunity to face one's demons literally, yes.
Yes, I do know. - Okay.
Then you know that I can't lose her.
Okay?
Okay, none of this works without Mary.
I need her.
What is it?
- There may be one other person I can contact.
But even if I could get ahold of them,
I doubt they'd be willing to talk to me.
- Lata...
take the shot.
- Bernice!
- Mary!
- Are you guys okay? - No.
Monster club sucks.
Tell me about it.
- Run.
- Guys, get inside. Quick, quick, quick. Come on.
- What the hell?
You sliced that monster's head off.
Why didn't that thing die?
- Mary, I'm scared.
- I know. I know. I'm scared too.
But my friends are figuring out a way to get us out of here.
So we just have to lay low for now.
Okay? Just be quiet and hold onto Bernice tight.
- Tell me we got something.
- A bit of a mixed bag, I'm afraid.
- Uh, bad news first.
- Bori Baba has to lure its victims
because it's vulnerable outside of the sack.
That's why it leaves pieces of itself behind.
It can't survive in our world. - Well, how is that bad news?
All we have to do is summon him and take him out.
- Because if we do that, the sack itself gets destroyed
including everything inside of it.
We have to free Mary and the children first.
- Okay, um, how about the good news?
- According to my friend,
the story goes that Bori Baba's victims
are trapped by the item they've lost.
In order to escape,
they have to willingly let go of this item.
- Okay, well, we have to tell Mary.
- Right, but how?
It's not like there's a phone in there.
- Except maybe there is.
Bori Baba lures people with things that they've lost.
And if he's been doing this for centuries,
there's gotta be all kinds of things down there, right?
- Yes.
But even if there is a phone,
it's not like Bori Baba took the phone line with it.
It won't be connected.
- Then we don't use a phone.
Am I crazy for thinking this could work?
- Technically, radio waves act
as background radiation in the universe,
so wherever they are, it might get through.
We just have to hope there's a CB radio in there
with a battery that isn't dead.
- Well, fingers crossed, then.
Mary?
Mary, it's John. Do you copy?
Mary.
Mary! Mary, can you hear me?
It's John.
- John?
Guys, go in, go in, go in.
Go, go, go.
- Mary.
Come in, Mary.
Mary.
Mary, can you hear me? - John?
- Come on, Mary, pick up.
- John? John?
John?
- Mary. - I can hear you.
Can you hear me? - 10-4.
Yeah, yeah. I'm here with Lata.
Took you guys long enough.
- I'm here with the kids.
And they're okay.
Ah!
So how do we get out of here?
- You're all being held in there
by your lost objects.
All you have to do is willingly let them go
and you're out of there. - Okay. Okay.
Carrie, I know you love Bernice, but...
- It's time to go home.
- Guess I won't be needing this anymore.
It worked!
- All right. They're safe, Mary.
They're safe. Okay, so...
you're up, Campbell.
- Damn it.
Something's wrong. It's not working.
- Uh, what did the Bori Baba tempt you with?
- My dad's hat, but it won't burn.
Ahh!
Mary!
- Come on. Why isn't it working?
- The Bori Baba tempts you with items that have...
That have deep meaning.
And the rules are that you have to willingly let go
of what he gave you, right?
- Well, okay, how am I supposed to let go of my dad
if I don't even know where he is?
- Maybe the hat doesn't represent your dad, okay?
Maybe it represents something else
that you're struggling to let go of.
- Like?
- Like the search for him or...
Or what comes after.
Hey, this morning,
I saw the look in your eyes
when I asked you about life after hunting.
You couldn't even look me in the face.
Why?
- Because...
because, uh, if we find my dad, then I'm done hunting,
and hunting...
hunting is all I have.
I'm not like you, John.
I never dreamed I could do anything else.
I was raised to hunt, and...
if I give up hunting, I don't know who I am.
- Yeah, I know the feeling.
I spent my entire life looking for my dad.
Maybe...
Hey, but I'm trying to find a new way.
With the monster club.
- I know it's scary.
It's time for you to start dreaming about what's next.
You don't have to figure it all out right now.
You just... you just need to take one step.
And right now that step is being okay
with figuring out who you are after hunting.
Let the hat burn, Mary.
- What happened? - It worked.
- You guys okay?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Is it gone?
- No!
Uhh!
- Stupid monster!
Mom, I missed you so much!
Baby...
- She's the one who helped us.
- She...
- So she wandered off
looking for a lost stuffed bunny, huh?
- Yeah.
Although we never did find the bunny, unfortunately.
- Thanks.
Happy endings aren't always a part of the job,
you know?
Hey, I figured I'd see you here again.
So I brought you something.
I, uh, should have given it back to you
a long time ago, but...
- You made the right call.
We were, um, too young.
I was moving too fast.
- So can we be friends?
Because I really care about you, Johnny.
- Yeah. Of course.
And I-I still really care about you too.
And we'll always be friends, Bets.
- Good.
- So...
How's mod squad?
- Well, she bought the cover story.
- Oh. So did Mrs. Billups.
And the kids are sticking to it too.
Although, I think Ford's gonna be a handful now.
After he saw the Bori Baba go down,
now he wants to make monster club jackets.
And I've seen that look before.
- Am I gonna have to compete with the kid for training?
- Hey, um, back there...
- No. No.
You did the hard part.
So what's next for you?
Gonna continue looking for your dad?
- Yeah.
But not tonight.
- Mary Campbell, are you taking a break?
- I'm taking one step.
- Um, one for "The Omega Man."
- That'll be $1.50.
- I got you.
- Oh, um, thanks.
I'll pay you back. - Oh, don't worry about it.
What's a dime between total strangers?
- Thanks.
But, um, don't let me keep you from your friends.
- I like seeing movies alone.
- Same here.
- Well, here's a crazy idea.
Want to see this move alone... together?
- Why not?
- Thank you for today, Lata.
I know it wasn't easy facing your childhood nightmare, so...
- It felt good,
if not a little short-lived.
What Mary said earlier...
two rare monsters in a row?
I mean, it has to all be connected somehow.
Through the Akrida.
- And their leader who, turns out,
is someone disguised as a human.
- What? - Whoever she is,
she is powerful enough to terrify demons.
- So...
who is she?
- This is Rockin' Roxy,
coming at you in the witching hour
with a new dark and dangerous sound.
It's guaranteed to bring the rarest of hell-raisers
from near and far to our beloved Lawrence.
So raise the volume and tune in.
