Supernatural (2005–…): Season 12, Episode 20 - Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes - full transcript

Alicia Banes calls Mary for help after her mother, Tasha goes missing. Sam answers Mary's phone and he and Dean head out to help Alicia and her twin brother, Max find their mother who was hunting a powerful witch. Meanwhile Mary starts to have some doubts about the British Men of Letters.

Dad's on a hunting trip

and he hasn't been
home in a few days.

We could take care of
a few kitchen witches.

They get their
power from demons.

I mean, selling your soul at
the crossroads kind of deal.

So you guys were raised by
a witch, but you're hunters?

BOTH: Yep.

MR. KETCH: Dr. Hess
wants to know everything

about our friends
the Winchesters.

Their allies. Their habits.

How does Sam get
his hair so shiny?



When I saw Dagon had captured
Kelly, I thought the angels could help.

And?

(GRUNTS)

Time to take this off the board.

No!

And I know now that this child
must be born with all of his power.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Hello?

You have to ring the bell.

(SIGHS) You startled me.

What a delicate
constitution you must have.

Uh, that is a lovely ring.

Ah, yes. (CHUCKLES)

And if it goes missing,
I'll know who to blame.



I could cleanse
your aura if you like.

It looks a little muddy.

(DINGS)

Oh. Coming. Sorry.

Hi.

Hi. Sorry for the
wait. Are you Tasha?

Tasha Banes,
yes. I called and...

Yes. Right, I'm Andy.

We've got you set up
at the top of the stairs.

Fantastic.

So, what brings you to Rock
River? Business or pleasure?

Little bit of both.

Hmm.

(CHIMES)

Reveal. Now.

Reveal. Now. Reveal.

Ugh.

Oh, God.

(EXHALES)

(INHALES)

DEAN: Okay, so last night.

That Super Mario power-up crap?

That wasn't Cass.

That frigging baby isn't even
born yet, and it sock-puppeted him.

Think about it.

Cass said that he
had faith in Lucifer, Jr.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

I don't know.

I mean, look. This doesn't make
any sense to me either, Dean.

But if we wanna have some shot
at finding Cass, then we have to,

I don't know, uh,
try and think like him.

How? Seriously.

I mean, up until now,
if Cass messed up,

if he did something wrong,

but he thought it was for the
right reasons, I got it. Right?

But last night?
When I looked at him,

I did not recognize the
guy staring back at me.

Can you fix it?

I hope so.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

- It's not me.
- Not me.

(CONTINUES VIBRATING)

Must be one of Mom's.

Hello?

ALICIA: Oh, uh...

Sam?

Uh, I didn't know you...

It's Alicia Banes.

Alicia. Hey! What's going on?

Like, Max and Alicia?

Yeah, sorry to, um...

Mary gave me a couple different
numbers to reach her, and we thought...

No. No.

Mmm-mmm.

I thought Mary would
be down to help.

- Be our back-up on this, um...
- You sound crazy.

Hey, guys. It's
Dean. Are you okay?

It depends who you ask.

Mom was hunting this witch who's
killed people all over Wyoming.

Anyway, Mom usually checks in
with us, but she sort of disappeared.

Oh, my God. She did
not disappear. She's busy.

- Wait. So, your mom is missing?
- Where are you guys?

We're on our way to Rock River, Wyoming.
But Max thinks I'm overreacting, but I...

Because you're being dramatic.
Mom's fine. Stop bothering them.

Fine, okay. Hey. We'll
be okay. Never mind.

No. Wait, wait,
wait, wait. Um...

Hey, why don't you text us
your address? We'll meet you.

- You will?
- They will what?

SAM: We'll see you soon.

What the hell, man?
What about Cass?

Dude, Cass ditched
his cell phone.

Jody put an APB out for Cass
and Kelly across three states.

Until that shakes something
loose or we get some other break,

all we're doing is sitting here,
banging our heads against a brick wall.

Let's get out there, let's...

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Their mom's on a hunting trip,
and hasn't been home in a week.

All right. Let's go.

(PHONE BEEPS)

(PHONE VIBRATES)

(GASPS)

(COUGHS)

(PANTS)

(PHONE CONTINUES VIBRATING)

Please be a dear and
shut that bloody thing off.

- It's Dean.
- And?

MARY ON PHONE: This
is Mary. Leave a message.

Mom.

Hey, I just wanted to let you
know that me and Sam, we're...

We're heading out on a case with
those witch twins, Max and Alicia. Um...

I'll text you the info, but I know the
Brits have got you running non-stop,

so, if you can help out,
that'd be great. Um...

And even if you can't swing
by, can you call me back?

Just some stuff going down,
it's kinda got me spun out.

It'd be good to talk to you.

(CHUCKLES) I suppose it
amuses you to take Mary's form,

or perhaps you believe it will
inspire a bit of hesitation on my part.

(GRUNTS)

It will not.

(SCREAMS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

He's not gonna talk.

The shifter has
killed people, Mary.

This is the very beginning
of what it deserves.

And if it tells us where its family
is, well, then, this will all stop.

Promise.

(LAUGHS)

That eye of yours
twitches when you lie.

- My eye twitches all the time.
- (GRUNTS)

Well then.

I guess I know all about you.

SAM: Hey, guys.

Hey.

All right, well, we're
here. What do you got?

Our mom was after
a borrower witch.

So, a witch that gets their
power from a demon deal?

Mmm-hmm.

Okay, so you tracked
your mom here?

No, we tracked her to the
only vegan restaurant in town.

They told us where
she was staying.

Anything else?

I got the bartender's
phone number.

(SCOFFS) Ignore him.

Dean. That car is still major.

You want the tour?

- Definitely.
- Come on.

Yeah. Max isn't
really feeling this.

Yeah. Hadn't noticed.

He always thinks he
knows Mom better.

But it's because they're both
natural witches. It's who they are.

(DEAN GRUNTS)

Whoa.

- Right? Yeah.
- Nice.

- Is that a grenade launcher?
- Yes, she is.

Yeah, but this is what we need
right now. Witch-killer bullets.

What about you? With magic.

No, I don't have it.

It's just kind of a
lot of noise to me.

Magic is definitely
their thing, you know?

Yeah.

When I was growing up, Dean and
my dad had the same thing with hunting.

That bond.

What about with Mary?

I mean, she gets into a case
and just, sort of, vanishes.

Yeah. No, Mary's a great hunter.

Yeah.

She doesn't seem
like much of a hugger.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

DEAN: Hey.

Let's go find your mom.

Well, her car is here.

No one's trying to hide
it. That's good news.

Yeah.

Not weird at all.

All right, if anything happens,
you guys stay behind us.

Yeah. Sure.

Alicia.

Uh, hi!

Hey.

Can I help you?

Yes, please.
We're looking for...

Max? Alicia? What
are you two doing here?

Mom.

Sam and Dean Winchester,
meet the great Tasha Banes.

The kids have told
me very nice things.

Alicia basically made them
come. Just in case you were in peril.

Well, that was unnecessary,
but very nice of you, all the same.

Andy, can we get a couple of rooms
for my children and their friends?

Sure. It'll just be a minute.

Great. You can wait in
my room. I have wine.

(CHUCKLES)

Great.

Wine.

So, Rock River's a dead end.

No witches here, unfortunately.
Thought this was the place...

Well, then, why didn't you
call us? I mean, we called...

(CLEARS THROAT)

I called and texted a lot.

I'm sorry, baby.

My phone hasn't
been charging all day.

Oh, but I did find a
fantastic acupuncturist.

BOTH: Of course, you did.

- You want me to help with that?
- Oh, I've got it.

No, but you always call on the
fourth day of a hunt. No matter what.

Honestly, baby,
it just slipped my...

Mom? You okay?

- I'm fine. Sam, do the honors.
- Of course.

Alicia, put some music on.

(BONE CRACKS)

Oh, I ordered food from that
vegan place, but no deliveries.

- Oh, I can get it.
- Oh, I'll grab it.

You guys stay. Hang
out. Catch up. Dean, drink.

Yes.

I must say, I am
pumping with adrenaline.

Perhaps we could find some
privacy and tire ourselves out?

It's not illicit
motel sex, but...

I remember us agreeing
that was a one-time thing.

Did we? Ah, well...

Ketch, it was a waste of
time, that little torture session.

You mean the
information-gathering session?

Yeah, but we
didn't get any intel.

That shifter was never going to
betray his family. And still, you...

Sometimes pain works,
sometimes it doesn't.

But anyone who tells you
that torture is never the answer?

They haven't been
under the knife.

But you enjoyed it. Because that,
I have never seen that side of you.

Yes, well, Mary, I'm sad to say that
you won't become the Jiminy Cricket

of the British Men of Letters.

We don't need a conscience.

Such a trite idea, but we firmly
believe the ends do justify the means.

They didn't this time.

Ah, but look,
you're still with us.

Feel free to call Mick
Davies. Have him write me up.

No, Mick's not
answering his phone.

And his e-mails have stopped.

I'm sure he's busy.

When you get called to
London by the old men,

it's not all pints of stout
and trips to Savile Row.

Oh, and you should
probably return Dean's call.

Wouldn't want him to think
Mummy doesn't love him.

(BEEPS)

- Expecting a call?
- No. Guess not.

Let's say, later, I, hypothetically, might
need your jeep to take it out for maybe...

Let's not.

You know, I gotta say, you
did a bang-up job with those two.

(CHUCKLES)

You must be drunk.

Off of wine?

I did the best I could
for Max and Alicia.

- No.
- I got lucky.

I see how you are with them.
All right? It's good. They're happy.

Alicia said you
grew up in the life.

Yeah. Yeah. My dad
raised me and Sam to hunt.

And your mother?

- That's complicated.
- (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, family's
always complicated.

Parents always seem
smart and strong and perfect.

It's only when you grow up that
you realize that they're just people.

DEAN: And even if you can't
swing by, can you call me back?

Just some stuff going down,
it's kinda got me spun out.

It'd be good to talk to you.

Well, I can't just send him to
economy comfort now, can I?

The package is in the armory
now. We gave it a lot number.

1-2-2-5-7.

Hmm.

We'll speak when
you get in. Turrah.

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Hey.

You've made yourself at home.

Uh...

Can I help you with something?

I use Mick's
computer for e-mail.

(STUTTERS)
Yeah, well, have at it.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

There's a message from Mick.

He says he's gonna be stuck
in London a few more weeks.

Hmm.

Well. There you are.

(LAUGHTER)

- Hey!
- Oh, food!

- Who's hungry?
- ALICIA: Me.

- TASHA: Oh, my goodness. Thank you.
- All right.

TASHA: Ooh, it smells so good.

ALICIA: All right, let's
see what we've got.

- Here, I can set it up over here.
- MAX: Hey.

- We'll be right back, y'all.
- Sure.

- Yeah.
- MAX: Just give it to me.

TASHA: Oh, you two, get it
down. Grab some napkins.

I know that look. What's up?

This was posted
outside the restaurant.

That guy we saw earlier,
coming out of the cellar?

He's been missing for a month.

Okay, that's weird.

Well, maybe Tasha's wrong. Maybe
there is something going on here.

Yeah. I'll let them know.

No, no, no. Let's... We
can handle it. Come on.

(WOMAN HUMS "HUSH, LITTLE BABY")

Hmm.

(LINE RINGING)

DEAN: This is Dean's other, other
cell, so you must know what to do.

(BEEP)

Hey, it's me.

Sorry I couldn't pick up before.
I've been on a hunt with Ketch.

And Dean, I'm sorry I haven't
been there for you and Sam.

But I wanna be. I will be.

I just... I need to finish this.

I miss you boys. I love you.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

- to make a phone call, in the rain.
- TASHA: She did not.

- He just got out to yell at me.
- TASHA: Oh, my God. That is so sad.

Ugh.

- It smells like death.
- Yeah.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

- Go ahead.
- What? You.

All right.

- Was it that serious?
- (LAUGHING)

Ladies, I'm gonna leave you
alone now to have some girl time.

Since when are you
not a part of girl time?

Since I've got a date with that hot
bartender from that vegan restaurant.

We're gonna have some guy time.

Hey, don't do
anything I wouldn't do.

Right. Right.

And what exactly
was that? Right.

Max!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

DEAN: Sam.

Ugh.

(GROANS)

Dean.

Son of a bitch.

- Her heart's been ripped out.
- So have theirs.

Wait, this is everybody
that's in the house.

Okay, well, if this
is the real Tasha,

then who the hell was
I talking to up there?

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

MAX: Hey.

- Hey, Max.
- Saw the light.

- You guys find some trouble to get into?
- No. No, no, no. We just, uh...

I just...

(SOBS)

(STUTTERS)

(SIGHS)

Oh.

Mick.

(BEEPS)

Come on, come on, come on.

What the...

DEAN ON SPEAKER: So, now we're
reporting to low-rent Christian Bale?

Seriously? I don't like
that guy. He creeps me out.

(LINE RINGING)

This is Dean's other, other cell,
so you must know what to do.

Dean, call me.
We've got a problem.

Hello, Mary.

Your handprint doesn't open
this room because it's not for you.

What are you doing here?

Why is Mick's body in a box?

An unfortunate werewolf mishap.

A werewolf shot him in the head?

It's not impossible.

- You're a psychopath.
- Mary...

Did you kill him?

Mick was weak. He
wasn't one of us...

(BOTH GRUNT)

(YELLS)

When will you realize that
we will do whatever it takes

to rid this world of the things
that go bump in the night?

Something that people like Mick,
and your sons, are incapable of.

- (BONES CRACK)
- (YELLS IN PAIN)

- Don't talk about my boys.
- Why not?

I've been cleaning up
after them for months.

I took care of those federal
agents they stupidly allowed to live.

I killed a psychic girl
they thought was human.

Honestly, they're damn sloppy.

I think you mean "decent."

It's the end for the American
hunters. Their time has passed.

But I can keep you safe.

If you just play your
part, if you play nice.

- (GRUNTS)
- (GROANS)

I don't play nice.

(GROANS)

Are we done?

(GROANS)

Those Enochian brass
knuckles only work on angels.

And sadly, I'm not an...

(YELLS IN PAIN)

Brass knuckles
are brass knuckles.

Go, you bitch!

- (TASER CRACKLING)
- (GRUNTS)

- No, I think he's really...
- MAX: Who are you?

Max?

- What did you do to my mom?
- Max! What are you...

- Wait, wait, wait, Alicia...
- Tell me!

- What are you doing?
- ALICIA: Let her go!

- That's not your mom. Shh.
- What?

- What are you talking... Mom!
- Wait, wait, wait. It's okay.

Max. What is wrong,
sweetie? Are you...

Don't, don't. You
are not my mom.

I don't know what kind of thing
you are, but you are not my mom.

Max! Stop!

Reveal. Now! Reveal.

The room... End of the
hall... Top of the stairs.

Magic.

(GASPS)

Max!

Mom!

Really? People
are trying to sleep.

All right, lady.
Craft time's over.

(DEAN GRUNTS)

Mom. Mom!

(BONES CRACKING)

Sam, this magic, what is this?

I don't know. I don't know.

Oh. How lucky am I?

Such an impressive witch.

Maybe you'll take the
deal the last bitch wouldn't.

(GRUNTS)

(BONES CRACKING)

My mother, you killed her.

Did I?

What did you do to those people?

Oh.

Let me show you.

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

I'm reaching the end
of my very long life,

and it's a problem 'cause
I sold my soul for power,

so when I pass,
my soul goes to hell,

unless I can find someone
to take the burden.

To take my magic.

Sam! Mom. Mom.

When your mother found me,

and when I realized
what she was,

I offered to teach her.

I offered her my power.

(INAUDIBLE)

But even dying, she was rude.

So, I made her into
one of my creatures.

(SCREAMING)

(TASHA SOBS)

That doll has all of
your mother's memories.

It's her. Mostly.

Just like the
others. Rick, Andy.

They do what I
want. When I want.

I'm old. I like
things a certain way.

No. No!

(GRUNTS)

Nice try.

If you kill me, well, then,
all of them just fall apart.

So, here's the offer.

You take my power.

You take my burden and my doll,

your mother will stay with
you and your sister forever.

Just one big, happy family.

Max, no. Listen to me.
Your mother is gone, okay?

It's awful and it
sucks, but that...

(GROANS)

So? Do we have a deal?

(CHOKES)

(ALICIA GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

You okay?

Mom.

No!

Take it and the deal is done.

(GRUNTS)

Take it.

(GRUNTS)

(ALICIA GASPS)

Hey. Just take it easy. We're
gonna get you some help.

Why did you...

Max. Listen to me.
Hey. I had to, okay?

That deal wasn't with
her, it was with a demon.

You even touch that
magic, you lose your soul.

SAM: Dean!

Come on.

(GROANS)

Don't fight. Don't worry. (SHUSHES)
Just take it easy, okay? Take a breath.

Alicia.

She, uh...

Alicia?

What? (SOBS)

Please, no.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Please, no. No, no, no, no!

Okay, Max. This is, uh...

Look, you're probably in shock
right now, but it's gonna pass.

And then it's gonna hurt.

I could have saved them. My mom.

If I had just taken
Alicia seriously.

Hey, come on now.
You can't think like that...

Just stop talking. Please.

Sure.

- We'll go get some supplies. We have to...
- We gotta burn the bodies, Max.

Like my dad.

I can do it. I should do it.

You two get out of here.

Max, we would...

Please. Please, just...

You did the right
thing. You saved him.

Yeah. Yeah, he
seems super saved.

You know, I was watching
them. This loving family.

The kind we should have had.

And now, just
like that, it's gone.

SAM: Dean, you couldn't let
Max make some deal for his soul.

DEAN: Sam, we do terrible things
all the time to save each other.

I mean, that's what you do for
family. Who am I to stop him?

SAM: Well, he's
strong. He'll be all right.

DEAN: Yeah, I'm not so sure.

What happened? (SIGHS) I
feel like I drank too much tequila.

What? What did
you do? Are you hurt?

No, no, no, no. (STUTTERS)
I'll explain everything,

but we've got to go now, okay?

Okay.

MARY: Hey, it's me.

Sorry I couldn't pick up before.
I've been on a hunt with Ketch.

I'm sorry I haven't been
there for you and Sam.

But I wanna be. I will be.

I just... I need to finish this.

I miss you boys. I love you.

Dean, call me.
We've got a problem.

Sam. Hey. It's Mom.
Something's wrong.

Sam!

(GASPS AND COUGHS)

(MARY GRUNTS)

Good of you to rejoin me.

A Taser?

Not really a fair fight.

If only you'd been as ruthless as I
hoped, this could have worked out.

Remember, Mary, I
gave you a chance.

So now what?

You kill me?

(PHONE VIBRATES)

(BEEPS)

WOMAN: Don't be
silly. You're an asset.

We've other plans for you.

Now, Mary...

Let's begin.
