BUNKER

Ketch is tied to a chair, his face bloody and his left eye swollen shut almost identical to how Karl looked in the previous act, as Dean paces around him, interrogating him.

"One more time. How are you not dead?" Dean Asks

"One more time. Why should I be?" Ketch Says

"Because we killed you." Sam Says

"Apparently not." Ketch Says, then takes a swing at him and punches him in the face.

"Don't mess with us, okay? You already killed Mick. You tried to kill us. You messed our mom right up. We're already pissed off. So I wouldn't do that." Dean Says, he squeezes Ketch's hand hard enough to make crunching noises.

"Aah!" Ketch Says

"Oh, look at that. You got rid of your tattoo. Was that a stick-on? It was a stick-on, wasn't it? Yeah." Dean Says

"What? Tattoo? I would never g–Oh. I think I know what's going on here." Ketch Says

"Really?" Sam Says

"You have me confused with my brother." Ketch Says

"Your brother?" Dean Says

"Arthur. I'm Alexander, his twin." Ketch Says

"Do I look stupid to you?" Dean Says

"Is that a trick question?" Ketch Says

Dean punches Ketch in the face again and It appears satisfying.

"Uhh! Oh!" Ketch Says

Dean straightens his rumpled shirt "Whoo!"

"So you're seriously gonna sit there with a straight face and tell us that you have an evil twin?" Sam Says

"If reducing things to that black and white level helps you, fine. Arthur was the family success story. The...headliner, our Donny Osmond." Ketch Says

"Mm. All right, Marie. What's your story?" Dean Asks

"Arthur and I attended a feeder school for the British Men of Letters." Ketch Says

"Kendricks. We know all about it. Just get to the point." Sam Says

"When it came time to initiate into the organization, I... fled. It wasn't for me. And if they were to find me... I'd be dead." Ketch Says

"It's really funny because, you know, your name never came up." Sam Says

"Well, no doubt. Arthur felt I brought shame to the family and to the Men of Letters. He had to work twice as hard to make up for my...public failure. And I had to work thrice as hard to disappear, live in the shadows. Do my work." Ketch Says

"What work?" Sam Asks

"Killing monsters. All over the world, for a fee. A Hunter." Ketch Says

"A mercenary." Dean Says

"A man with my sort of training has limited options." Ketch Says

"The witches– who's bankrolling their deaths?" Dean Asks

"I-I'm doing that pro bono." Ketch Says

"Why do you keep asking for Rowena MacLeod?" Sam Asks

"She's a witch, isn't she? Isn't that what we Hunters do? Kill the bad thing?" Ketch Says

In the library, at the table with Sam and Dean's initials carved in it, Sam finds records for Alexander Ketch. Dean sits in an armchair with a glass of whiskey.
