Ep 15:
The Kahn worm and Cole.
Water drips. A woman wakes up upside-down. North Caroline. She struggles to get free. Someone is coming. He puts a bucket under her body and slits her throat.
The bunker. Sam on the laptop. He closes it when Dean comes in. Porn? No. Dean says no judgment from me. LOL. Tells Sam about a murdered woman. A Rugaru? Or a god? Maybe. 10 minutes, meet you in the car. Great.
Sam stares at his phone in the Impala. Dean says we've checked every website twice. We have to face the truth. Even if we don't like it. Truth is, there's no way around this. We saw what happened to Cain. I'm not happy about it but I have to move on. I want to do what we do while I still can and I'd like you to be there with me.
They pull into Fayetteville. Go into the sheriff's station. Sheriff says Rick Willis did it. Left his dog tags by the body. He drank gasoline and lit himself on fire. 3rd suicide we've seen in 6 months. Would you like some cake? Sam declines even thought Dean wants some. Sam asks if there were bite marks? No, the vic was killed with a knife.
They talk to the wife. She says my Rick, when he's home and good, I have to kill the spiders, you know? Rick was a kind soul. Never took more life than he had to. Sam asks if she noticed anything weird. She says no, but Rick was so...thirsty. For water. Even drank the bath water. His skin got so dry it bled. She took him to the VA. Then he stopped talking. She thought maybe it was PTSD. Sam says we're very sorry. Dean asks if she knew where Rick was deployed. She says it was classified. She ran into Jemma, and she thinks Kit came back different this time. Felt like we were dealing with the same thing.
Sam and Dean visit her. She says Kit always deals with stuff eventually. They asks to speak with Kit. She says he went out last night. He's been out all night? Well, yeah. She says she's worried. This isn't like him. Sam asks if he's been thirsty. How did you know?
Cole is waiting outside. Jemma called him. He's known Kit a long time. He's a good man. Why are you really here? Dean says we're working a case. Kit's case? Looks like it. Dean says there's a murder-suicide in town in your buddy's unit. Cole says I have contacts, I can help. A friend owes me a favor. I'm coming with you, making sure my best friend comes home in one piece. Dean and Sam say you have to prepare yourself for Kit not being Kit anymore.
Kit stumbles into a convenience store and drinks water. His skin is wrecked. He grabs more water. The workers says you have to pay for that first. Kit keeps drinking. Clerks takes it away. Kit breaks a wine bottle. Slashes the clerk's neck. Other clerk dials 911. Kit laps the blood off the floor.
Sam gets food for them. Dean doesn't have a clue, yet. Cole says he's got an e-mail. Kit and Rick were in a cemetery in Iraq. There's helmet cam footage. They tried to rescue a POW and he attacks them. The POW died. So Kit and Rick came back screwed up. Sam gets an alert. It's bloody. Let's go.
They head to the gas n sip. Cole gets a call. Jemma. She asks about the Gas n Sip. Do they think Kit did this? He says I don't know. She says if he did, he's not in his right mind. You gotta save him. He says I will. She says Kit would head north to his dad's old cabin. Dean and Sam discuss what's next. Cole says Kit needs help, not a bullet or a knife. Dean says if he's a monster, we gotta put him down. That's the job. Are you in or out?
They drop Cole at Jemma's. Dean says don't try to be a hero. Call us. Got it. They drive away. Cole gets in his Jeep. Dean and Sam follow him. "And you bought him dinner" LOL. Cole stops at the cabin. Calls for Kit. Looks around with a flashlight. Dean rolls the Impala in. Cole keeps looking. Sees a blood trail. It's bad, Kit, and it's either me or them. Finds Kit in a corner of a bedroom. Coughing. Kit says I'm sorry, I can't stop. Attacks Cole. Sam comes in to help. The worm leaves Kit's body and Dean steps on it. Kit runs out. Dean goes after him. Cole coughing.
Cole's not well. Something moved, it's alive, Sam. Dean comes back in and says that was a dumbass move. It's a Khan worm. So how do we kill it? Dean says worst case, a head shot. But electrocution makes the worm leave the body. Cole says I'm game. Sam says I'll go look for Kit. Dean says this will hurt like a sonofabitch. Cole says whatever it takes. Okay. So this thing turned people into killers? Yeah. Cole doesn't know how they do the work. I almost took you off the map and who'd be saving me now. Dean says don't get sentimental about it. Dean has the jumper cables. Cole bites down on a spoon. Dean shocks him. No worm, yet. Do it again. Dean shocks him. Nothing. Cole says again! Dean reluctantly does it again. Cole passes out. no pulse. Dean pounds on his chest until he gasps to live. Cole says again. Dean says no, you're toast. Take a knee.
Sam in the car. Phone rings. Dean tells him the worm was a no-show. Gotta be something. Everything has a weakness. Sam is on the way to Kit's.
Dean asks Cole if he's okay. So, what do we know about this thing? Sucker dries you out. Water, then blood. Lack of fluids make you hostile. So if I dry myself out, then the sucker won't like that. Dean suggests rapid dehydration. Cole says make sure you squash that sucker. He builds the fire up. Sweat it out.
Mangles flowers at Kit's house. He drank from the vase. Jemma finds him. What's happened to you? Listen, whatever happened, whatever you did, we're going to fix this, okay? We're going to get you well. He attacks her. I can't....stop... Sam breaks the vase over his head.
Cole still coughing. Dean on the phone with Sam. He has Kit tied up. We know how to end this, Dean. Dean says that's Plan B. Cole is going strong. Sam says Kit was bad. When he comes to.... Dean says he gets it. We're on the clock here. Hangs up. Drinks water. Cole glares at him.
Sam explains to Jemma. She saw something but... Sam says it was a monster. And it changed Kit. Who are you?
Cabin. Cole says my dad, he got something inside him, too, right? Think this is what he felt like? Dean says maybe. He was human before he was a monster. Cole says I get it. If I go down that same road, I want you to do that to me, too. Dean says you're not giving up. you're going to fight, harder than you ever have. Understand. Drinks more water. Cole asks to be tied to the chair. Yeah. Dean gets the rope. Cole stares at the water bottle. Hit dean and goes for it. Dean stops him. I can't, Dean! Yes you can. Yes you can! think of your wife and kid. Cole says all I can think about is drinking your blood. Guess that makes me a monster, don't it?
Sam tells Jemma he's a hunter. It's crazy, but it's the truth. Kit wakes up. She says Kit is my husband. Sam says he tried to kill you. Let me check in with Dean and Cole. Kit got loose. Cuts the lights. Sam pulls his gun and they look around. Sam tells her to stay put. Kit comes up behind her. Then attacks Sam. Phone rings. Sam gets his gun.
Cole tackles Dean. Then the worm starts coming out of his mouth. Dean stomps on it. You okay? Yeah. Thank God. Thank God. Dean calls Sam. We did it. Cole's alright. get Kit over here. Sam says it's too late.
Jemma holds Kit's dead body.
Cole leaves the cabin with healed skin. Sam says I really wish it hadn't ended this way. Kit was going to kill her and.. Cole says Jemma told him everything. She knows the story she has to tell. Guess I've seen it all now. Dean says some, not all. Cole wants to get home and see his family. He thanks Dean. Dean tells him to take care. Cole says he will. Hope I don't see you two again. No offense. None taken. He leaves. Dean tells Sam not to blame himself. Sam says he can't help it. Feels crappy. I know it does. Sam says I tried I just....couldn't save this one. Dean says sometimes you do everything right and the guy still dies. He gets in the car. Sam thinks about the greater meaning behind that.
Next ep - church deaths. Confessors dying. Dean calls a nun hot.
