057. out of time

Sam and Miranda walk into the cabin they're staying at and Sam is holding his 3 month old daughter. It's May 1st, the group only having hours left to try to save Dean.

"Dig up anything good?" Sam asks.

"No." Dean closes the book. "Nothing good."

"Well, Bobby has. Finally." Sam says.

"Yeah?" Dean asks.

"Yeah. A way to find Lilith." Sam says.

"Oh. With just, uh... thirty hours to go." Dean says, glancing at his watch. "Hey, why don't we just make a TJ run, yeah? You know... some senoritas, cervezas, uh, we could... what's Spanish for "donkey show?""

"So if we do save you... let's never do that." Sam snickers.

"Agreed." Miranda says.

"Hey, Dean." Sam sits next to him. "Look, we're cutting it close, I know. But we're gonna get this done. I don't care what it takes, Dean. You're not gonna go to Hell. I'm not gonna let you. I swear. Everything's gonna be okay."

"Yeah, okay." Dean mumbles.

"So you need a name, that's the whole kit and caboodle. With the right name, right ritual, ain't nothing you can't suss out." Bobby says as he prepares a spell to find out where Lilith is.

"Like the town Lilith's in?" Sam asks.

"Kid, when I get done, we'll know the street." Bobby says. He starts the ritual. The pendulum searches over the map until it stops. "New Harmony, Indiana. And we have a winner."

"All right. Let's go." Sam says.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Let's all shut up there, Tex." Dean says.

"What's the problem?" Sam asks.

"Uh... zero plan. Zero experience. A death wish." Miranda lists.

"What's the problem? Come on, where do I begin? I mean, first of all, we don't even know if Lilith holds my deal. We're going off of Bela's intel? Now when that bitch breathes, the air comes out crooked." Dean says. "Second, even if we could get to Lilith, we have no way to gank her. And third, isn't this the same Lilith that wants your giant head on a pike? Should I continue?"

"Ain't you just bringing down the room?" Bobby quips.

"Yeah, well, it's a gift." Dean says.

"I'm sorry, so then what are we supposed to do, Dean?" Sam asks.

"Just cause I gotta die doesn't mean you have to, okay? Either we go in smart or we don't go in at all."

"Okay, fine. If that's the case, I have the answer."

"You do?" Dean asks.

"Yeah. A sure-fire way to confirm it's Lilith and a way to get us a bona fide demon killing ginsu." Sam says.

"No fucking way." Miranda denies.

"Damn it, Sam, no." Dean argues.

"We're so past arguing. Dean, I am summoning Ruby."

"The hell you are! We have enough problems as it is."

"Exactly. And we've got no time and no choice either."

"Come on, man, she is the Miss Universe of lying skanks, okay? She told you that she could save me, huh? Lie. She seems to know everything about Lilith but forgot to mention, oh, right, Lilith owns my soul."

"Okay, fine. She's a liar. She's still got that knife."

"Dean." Bobby says.

"For all we know, she works for Lilith." Dean says.
