Rose looks at Dean; he sits in a small white room. He sits on a metal chair; his hands are cuffed and attached to the table before him. They're in a police station in Baltimore, Maryland. This case is interesting; for one, she didn't know Dean was wanted for murder.

'You can go in if, I mean, you go.' The cop says.

'If?' Rose answers, staring down at her.

She is nervous; Rose can tell. 'You do know what he did?' Rose stares back. The cop opens the door: 'Your call.'

'Dana Shulps, Dana shulps...' Dean repeatedly mumbles this name. He stops when the door opens.

The cop says: 'Your lawyer is here. Rosalie, this is Dean Winchester.' The cop wants the leave the room when Rose speaks up: 'I would like to remind you that you cannot record this conversation.'

'We know.' The cop says and closes the door behind her.

Dean looks at Rose: 'How did you get in? And as a lawyer.' Rose doesn't answer. She takes a paper, and Dean continues: 'You compelled them, didn't you?'

'Sure, it didn't hurt them. I came to get you out of here, so....'

'Give me a pen.' he says, already taking some paper from the briefcase she opened to look more professional.

Rose hands it over, and Dean writes down Dana Shulps: 'I'm thinking it's an anagram.'

She is not surprised that he is trying to solve the hunt. 'That's possible....' She mumbles and thinks: 'Maybe Ashland. It misses a few letters, but it's a street name.' She tells Dean when he looks up.

'That must be it.' He says.

'Let's get you out and ....'

'Get Sam. If you help me escape, we won't have enough time for the case.' Dean tells her.

'Are you sure?' She asks him: 'You could be facing the death penalty.'

'Yep, just get me out later.' He says: 'You will do that, won't you?'

'Sure thing.' Rose laughs but looks more serious when she opens the door again.


'Sam Winchester, is it?' Rose says when she enters, she lays her briefcase on the table. Sam looks confused. 'I'm your lawyer. I just talked with your brother. You're brothers, right?'

Sam nods, and Rose sits and waits until the camera is off. She doesn't hear the buzzing sound: 'Ok, we figured out it's a street, Ashland Street. You need to escape. There is a plan. I will come later to help you with the rest of the case. Do you understand?'

Sam wants to say something, but the door opens, and the cop from before tells Rose: 'We need you with the other one.'

Rose stands up and looks one last time at Sam before leaving the room. She follows the cop towards the room where Dean is.

The camera focused on Dean. Rose standing against the wall: 'As your lawyer, I must remind you that I advise you not to tell them anything.'

Dean shakes his head and looks into the camera: 'My name is Dean Winchester. I'm an Aquarius. I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach, and frisky women. I did not kill anyone, but I know who did, or rather, what did. Of course, it can't be for sure because our investigation was interrupted. Our working theory was that we're looking for some kind of vengeful spirit.'

The cops that Rose spoke to before, standing opposite her, raising her eyebrow: 'Excuse me?'

'You know, Casper, the bloodthirsty ghost?' Dean says.

The rest of the room laughs. Rose turns off the camera: 'Do you have enough?'

'You know we can't take it seriously.' One of them says.

'The spirit is real', Dean says: 'Tony Giles saw it. I'll bet you cash money that Karen did too. But see, the interesting thing is the words it leaves behind. For some reason, it's trying to tell us something. But communicating across the veil isn't easy. You know, sometimes the spirits, they, they get things jumbled. You remember "REDRUM". Same concept. You know, it's maybe word fragments... other times, it's anagrams. See, at first, we thought this was a name, Dana Shulps. But now we think it's a street. Ashland. Whatever's going on, I'll bet you it started there.'

Rose looks at him and winks before leaving the room to find and help Sam.
