Season 3, Episode 5

Whiskey Lullaby

Dean leaves the house, and goes on a snack run downtown. Meanwhile, Sam is seen lying in bed, as he has been for the past 3 episodes. Dean promises Sam that he will be back soon, but, however, loses track of time, and ends up being gone for 1+ hour(s). Dean notices that the time is much past the time that he had promised Sam that he would be back home by, and hauls back to Sam's house. He fiddles with his keyring until he finds his spare door key, and unlocks the door. Whiskey Lullaby, by Brad Paisley, is heard, coming from Sam's room, softly. Dean sighs, and walks over to Sam's room, he has bags in his hands. He cracks the door open. Dean walks in to the cluttered bedroom, and turns off the stereo. He orders Sam to get up, but Sam does not respond. Sam is lying on his stomach with his face down in the pillow. He does not move. Dean has a worried look on his face. He tells Sam to get up once more. He raises his voice, and tells him to get the hell up, now. He glances over at Sam's nightstand, there are lots of empty whiskey glasses and pill bottles sitting on the table. Dean walks toward the bed, with his fists clutched. He rips the sheets off of Sam, Sam is wearing a black pair of boxers, and a white shirt. Dean presses his fingers to Sam's flesh, he immediately takes his fingers off, like it was cold. Dean pulls Sam's hair back, and presses his fingers to Sam's pulse spot. Dean bites his lip, and flips Sam over onto his back in his arms. Dean glances up, and notices a coffee-stained piece of paper lying next to his pillow, that is folded up into fourths. Dean begins to cry, and his tears fall from his cheeks and onto Sam's skin, which is dry. Dean takes his baby brother, and presses his baby brother's face into his chest. Dean begins to cry, audibly. He demands that Sam wakes up, but there is no response. Dean curses and tells him to get up another time, firmly. Sam does not respond, still. Dean curses yet again and yells at Sam. He pulls Sam's eyelids open, and Sam's eyes are rolled back in his head. Dean tells Sam that this joke is sick, and bends down to look under his bed. He tells Sam that he will let him sleep, and walks out of the room. he closes the door softly and pauses for a few moments. He barges back into the room, expecting to see his baby brother moving, but instead sees nothing. Dean drops onto his knees, and crawls over to Sam's bed. He tells Sam that he is not strong enough for this, and that he is tired, and that the joke is over. Sam still does not respond. Dean tells Sam that he got him good, but it's time to wake up. Sam still does not move. Dean curses and tells god to let his baby brother wake up, but nothing happens. He presses the younger Winchester's head back up to his chest, and cries some more. He tells Sam to wake up as he tries to reach for the note, but gives up before reaching it. Dean does not read the note, but instead looks at the outside. There is blood on the note, and the writing on it looks like it was written in such a hurry, that it is not readable. He sighs, and lays Sam down. He tells him that by the time he is awake the next morning, that he expects Sam to be awake as well. Dean sniffs and walks out of the room, and into the bathroom. He slams the bathroom door, and has a mental breakdown on the sink. He tells himself that none of this is real. His voice cracks as he tries to tell himself that his baby brother is dead, but fails. He looks up, and puts his hands in fists of rage, before striking his reflection, breaking the mirror. The mirror shatters into a bunch of pieces, and he turns off the light, walking out of the room. He tells himself out loud that when he wakes up, Sam will be there. He goes into his bedroom and falls onto the bed, before falling asleep with the lights on. He wakes up early the next morning, and without checking to see if Sam is awake, he calls Bobby, and tells him that him and Sam will be visiting him. Dean goes outside, and starts the Impala. He moves Sam's van, and they leave. Dean and Sam arrive at Bobby's house at 5:00 PM, and Dean carries Sam into the house. Dean tells Sam to be on his best behavior as he rings the doorbell to Bobby's house. Bobby answers the door, and shoots Dean a confused look. Dean walks into Bobby's house, and sits Sam down on the couch next to himself. Bobby asks if Sam is asleep, Dean nods. Dean tells Bobby that Sam is tired from having to ride all day. Dean goes upstairs, and goes to sleep. Dean wakes up the next day, and is eager to say good morning to his baby brother, Sam. He shoots up out of bed, and immediately notices that Sam is gone. He recollects that someone was either coming in our out of their room that night, so he doesn't think much of it. He walks down stairs, and notices that he is alone in the house. He walks out the front door, and sees Bobby. He yells at Bobby, Bobby yells back. Dean pushes Bobby and looks down, there is a pile of dirt in the middle of the driveway. He asks Bobby what he has been doing, and Bobby tells him that Sam is dead, and has been dead. Dean has an emotional outburst as he falls onto his knees, hitting the ground. Bobby throws his shovel down, and walks back into the house. Dean pounds the dirt with his fists as he yells for his baby brother. Dean sobs, and lays atop the burial ground for a long time.
