BIGGERSON'S RESTAURANT

Dean is eating a sandwich. Bobby, Elena and Sam have only cups of coffee. Sam is reading from the New Jersey Police Missing Persons Agency website on his laptop.

"Gerald Browder, 35, self-employed. Air-conditioning repairman." Sam Says

Sam is now looking at a website for Browder Airconditioning. Gerald Browder was the owner/operator.

"Missing person number three. Disappeared eight days ago." Sam Says

"Well, that explains all the people who got eaten in the last eight days." Elena Says

"Yeah. Question is, what happened to him?" Sam Says

Dean is groaning as he eats his sandwich with large bites, they all look over at him.

"Dean. Uh, so, what do you think?" Sam Asks

"I'm not that worried about it." Dean Says

"Excuse me?" Bobby Says

"That's funny, right? I could give two shakes of a rat's ass. Is that right? Do rats shake their ass, or is it something else? Eh." Dean Says

Sam, Elena and Bobby looks around the restaurant at the many customers eating the same sandwich.

"Give me that." Sam snatches the sandwich away from him.

"Whoa, whoa! Why?!" Dean Says

"There's some funky chicken in the TDK Slammer, ain't there?" Bobby Says

"Yeah." Sam Says As he sniffs the sandwich and recoils.

________________________________

OLD HOUSE

Bobby sets the sandwich, wrapped in foil in the shape of a swan, down on a plate on the table.

"This is stupid. My sandwich didn't do anything. I don't know what you think you're gonna find." Dean Says

"Zip It and sit down." Elena Says

"Your Bossy." Elena looks at him. "I like it." Dean Says

Sam unwraps the sandwich.

"There's something wrong with you, Dean." Bobby Says

"Are you kidding? I'm fine! I -- I actually feel great. The best I've felt in a couple months. Cas? Black goo? I don't even care anymore. And you know what's even better? I don't care that I don't care. I just want my damn slammer back." Dean Says

Elena walks over to Dean, She looks at him closely.

"Dean Would Look at me for a second." Elena Says

"Huh.., your makeup looks very nice today and you smell good." Dean Says

"Okay." He tries to kiss her but she pushes him back.
"Dean You are completely stoned, just like Ranger Rick was." Elena Says

"Just like the dinner rush back at Biggerson's. And everybody's loving the Turducken." Bobby Says

Gray goo bubbles out from the sandwich.
"I think you pissed off my sandwich." More goo bubbles out. "That -- that's in me?" Dean Says

"O-only half of it." Sam Says

"Does that snot look familiar?" Elena Asks

"Okay, so whatever turned Gerry Browder into a pumpkin head... and is currently turning Dean into an idiot—" Sam Says

"I'm right here. Right here." Dean Says

"Is in the Turducken Slammer at Biggerson's." Bobby Says

"Yeah." Sam Says

"It's in the meat." Elena Says

"If I wasn't so chilled out right now, I would puke." Dean Says

BIGGERSON'S RESTAURANT - RECEIVING ENTRANCE

"How's he doing?" Sam Asks

Bobby's is in the driver's seat and Sam in the passenger seat of a vehicle. Dean is in the back seat, asleep on Elena's lap who's asleep as well.

"He's sleeping it off. Tryptophan coma." Bobby Says

"So, you think he's okay?" Sam Asks

"Yeah, he's all right." Bobby Says

"Good. So you don't worry about him?" Sam Asks

"What do you mean? Before the Turducken?" Bobby Says

"Yeah. Yeah, I kind of mean more like, uh... more like ever since my head broke... and we lost Cas. I mean, you ever feel like he's -- he's going through the same motions but he's not the same Dean, you know?" Sam Says

"How could he be." Bobby Says

"Right, yeah, but what if—" Sam Says

"What if what, Sam? You know, you worry about him. All he does is worry about you. Who's left to live their own life here? The two of you -- aren't you full up just playing Snuffleupagus with the Devil all the live long." Bobby Says

"I don't know, Bobby. Seeing Lucifer's fine with me." Sam Says

"Come again?" Bobby Says

"Look, I'm not saying it's fun. I mean, to be honest with you, I-I kind of see it as the best-case scenario. I mean..." He presses the hand he injured. "At least all my crazy's under one umbrella, you know? I kind of know what I'm dealing with. A lot of people got it worse." Sam Says

"You always were one deep little son of a bitch." Bobby Says

"Wait, wait, wait. Here we go." Sam Says

A delivery truck is backing up to the Biggerson's receiving entrance. The Truck Driver gets out of the truck and wheels cartons from the truck into the restaurant, then gets back into the truck and drives away. The truck reads "MIDWEST MEAT AND POULTRY WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION."

"Well, I guess we follow him." Bobby Says

CAR PARK OUTSIDE N.E. LAW CENTER

A Woman is walking to her car. She screams as Brandon runs out from some trees and tackles her to the ground. A car pulls up and a Man visible only from the chest down gets out, walks over to Brandon and knocks him away from the Woman.

WAREHOUSE

The Midwest Meat truck pulls up to the warehouse and parks. Sam, Bobby, Elena and Dean are watching from their vehicle. Sam has binoculars.

"That's weird, right? I mean, national franchise like Biggerson's getting meat from a place that looks like it wholesales Hong Kong knockoffs." Sam Says

"Okay. Yeah. It's a little weird." Dean Says

The Truck Driver enters the warehouse.

"All right,well, I guess we wait till they close up shop, go take a look around?" Sam Says

"Hang on." Elena Says

A car pulls up to the warehouse and Edgar gets out. The Truck Driver comes back out of the warehouse.

"No." Sam Says

"What?" Elena Says

"Edgar." Sam Says

"Leviathans." Dean Says

Edgar opens the trunk and helps out Brandon, whose head is covered with a hood. The Truck Driver takes Brandon by the arm and leads him into the warehouse.

"Son of a bitch." Dean Says

"What the hell is going on?" Bobby Says

________________________________

WAREHOUSE

The Truck Driver is leading a hooded Brandon into the warehouse.

"Put him with the others, if you don't mind." Edgar Says

Dr Gaines appears. "Edgar. Follow me. I've been so busy with this experiment, I didn't even realize you were back. It's, uh, big stuff."

"I'm back because of the experiment. What's happening? You said you were refining the formula." Edgar Says

"Yes. Absolutely. And it's going great. The absorption rate is up in lower concentrations." Dr.Gaines Says

"But it didn't solve our little issue with adverse reactions." Edgar Says

"Well, no. Not 100%." Dr.Gaines Says

The Driver puts Brandon into a cage next to other cages containing people and removes his hood. Edgar looks at the cages.

"Burn them." Edgar Says

"What? But they represent crucial test data. Where the additive formula went wrong, where my initial projections failed." Dr.Gaines Says

"Dick is coming." Edgar Says

"Burn them." Dr.Gaines Says

Dean and Bobby are sitting in their vehicle outside the warehouse. Bobby is holding a cell phone which is on speaker.

"There's nothing happening back here at all, Elena and I checked." Sam Says

"Yeah, okay, Sam. Well, they're pretty dug in, so why don't you and Elena finish circling and head on back." Bobby Says

"Right." Sam Says Then Bobby hangs up.

"How's your head?" Bobby Asks

"Well, I think the slammer's pretty much wore off. In between that and the 20 cups of coffee, I'm nicely tense and alarmed." Dean Says

"I wasn't talking about that." Bobby Says

"Oh, Bobby, don't -- don't go all Sigmund Freud on me right now, okay? I just got drugged by a sandwich." Dean Says

"I want to talk about your new party line." Bobby Says

"Party? What are you talking about? I don't even vote." Dean Says

"The world's a suicide case. We save it, it just steals more pills" Bobby Says

"Bobby, I'm here, okay? I'm on the case. What's the problem?" Dean Says

"I've seen a lot of hunters live and die. You're starting to talk like one of the dead ones, Dean." Bobby Says

"No, I'm talking the way a person talks when they've had it, when they can't figure out why they used to think all this mattered." Dean Says

"Oh, you poor, sorry... You're not a person." Bobby Says

"Thanks." Dean Says

"Come on, now. You tried to hang it up and be a person with Lisa and Ben." Bobby Says

"Yeah but I got Lena, that matters to." Dean Says

"But now here you are with a mean old coot and a van full of guns. That ain't person behavior, son. You're a hunter, meaning you're whatever the job you're doing today. Now, you get a case of the Anne Sextons, something's gonna come up behind you and rip your fool head off. Now, you find your reasons to get back in the game. I don't care if it's my daughter or spite or a ten-dollar bet. I've been to enough funerals. I mean it. You die before me, and I'll kill you." Bobby Says

"We need to scrape some money together, get you a condo or something." Dean Says

Sam and Elena gets into the back seat of the vehicle.

"Hey. Something's up." Elena Says

Two black vehicles pull up as Edgar and Dr.Gaines come out of the building. Dick Roman gets out of the second vehicle.

"Well, I'll be a squirrel in a skirt. It's Dick frigging Roman." Bobby Says

"What? Who the hell is Dick frigging Roman?" Dean Asks

TELEVISION CLIP

"Billionaire Dick Roman, seen here at a recent press conference, has been on the corporate-takeover warpath in the last several months and shows no signs of relenting." Reporter Says

At the bottom of the screen, a large headline reading "THE RISE OF DICK" appears throughout the clip.

"I believe in good old American values, like unlimited growth. But it's like I always say -- if you want to win, then you got to be the shark. And a shark's got to eat. Well, that's a great question. Yes, we have made new acquisitions. I don't believe in hostile takeovers. I believe in merging... and coming out on top." Dick Roman Says

"Whether at the helm of his America's cup-winning yacht or one of his Fortune 500 companies, Roman has never shied away from the spotlight. Roman's record-breaking series of motivational seminars, "When in Rome," have outsold every other money-making program on the market. A vocal member of the NRA and a steadfast supporter of the second amendment, Roman has started attracting some conservative political attention, as well." Reporter Says

"Roman is ruthless, but good-looking. I think he'll make a great candidate."

"Another great question. No, I am not running for political office at this time. But I do have a number-one bestseller." Dick Roman Says

The camera pans out and we see that the television clip was playing on Sam's laptop. Sam is now in the driver's seat and Bobby and Elena in the back.

"Holy crap. What the hell is that?" Dean Asks

"That's one of the top 50 most powerful men in America, Dean." Sam Says

"I'll say." Elena Says

"Says here top 35 as of last month. Now it's all making sense. Remember when Crowley kept going on about hating Dick? I thought he was just being general. Pfft!" Dean Says

"Well, if the Leviathan got to him, then that means they're playing on a much bigger board than we were thinking." Bobby Says

"So what, then? I mean, we can't exactly outgun them." Elena Says

"No, but we got the drop on them. Means we got a chance to figure out what these guys are really doing here." Bobby Says

Dean looks at some surveillance equipment Bobby is assembling.

"Whoa. Where'd you get that mother?" Dean Asks

"It's on loan from Frank's big brother collection. It'll pick up vocal vibrations from window glass at half a mile. It's time to find out what these ugly bastards are up to." Bobby Says

ROOM

A woman, boy and man are placidly eating Biggerson's sandwiches in front of the television.

"The patient is put under general anesthesia. The eye is immobilized, then a scalpel is used to sever the optic nerve."

Dick Roman, Dr.Gaines and a Woman appear at an observation window.

"When a macular detachment occurs, ? is superimposed on..."

The camera angle changes and we see that there is another woman in the room, who is leaning back in an armchair with her eyes closed.

"The food additive that I've introduced into the Turducken has a near-100% rate of effectiveness. Once the subject tries it, they crave more within a few hours. With the very first dose, it starts to work on their DNA, slowing their metabolism, causing weight gain, and dampening their emotional range, which makes them perfectly complacent. As you can see, they have yet to notice that grandma is no longer with us. True, if you leave out a cooked patty for more than an hour, it reverts back to a somewhat, uh, unappealing state, but I have yet to have a case of leftovers." Dr.Gaines

"You know what I love? I mean, besides handball and a really crisp Chardonnay. I love progress. And I know that progress comes from collaboration, which is what makes moments like this so thrilling." Dick Roman Says

"I am so glad to hear you say that." Dr.Gaines Says

"Now, what can you tell me about your failures?" Dick Roman Asks

"Hmm? My..." Dr.Gaines Says

"The ones that went off the rails after they ate your little treats." Dick Roman Says

"I, um... They're, uh... They've been very instructive." Dr.Gaines Says

"No. See, I asked for complacency. Not complacency and a 0.03% margin of hyperadrenalized cannibalism." Dick Roman Says

"I will have this under control." Dr.Gaines Says

The Woman holds up a newspaper. "Camping high season harshed by human burrito"? Have I ever mentioned how I feel about our little forays making the papers? But, again, collaboration. Progress. I want to turn this little mistake into a big fat teachable moment. Will you help me with that." Dick Roman Says

"Well... yes. Of course." Dr.Gaines Says
