Dean: All right, here we go. So dad was checking out this two-lane blacktop outside of Jericho, California. About a month ago this guy, they found his car but he'd vanished, completely M.I.A.
Sam: So maybe he was kidnapped.
Dean: Yeah well, here's another one in April another one in December '04, '03, '98, '92. Ten of them over the past 20 years, all men, all same 5-mile stretch of road. Started happening more and more so dad went to go dig around. That was about three weeks ago. I hadn't heard from him since, which is bad enough. Then I get this voicemail yesterday.
Dad on voicemail: Dean, something is starting to happen, I think it's serious. I need to try to figure out what's going on. Be very careful Dean, we're all in danger.
Sam: You know there's EVP on that?
Dean: Not bad, Sammy. Kind of like riding a bike isn't it? All right. I slowed the message down, and ran it through a Gold Wave took out the hiss, and this is what I got.
Woman on voicemail: I can never go home.
Sam: Never go home.
Dean: You know in almost two years I've never bothered you. Never asked you for a thing.
Sam: All right. I'll go. I'll help you find him. But I have to get back first thing Monday. Just wait here.
Dean: What's first thing Monday?
Sam: I have this...I have an interview.
Dean: What, a job interview? Skip it.
Sam: It's a law-school interview, and it's my whole future on a plate.
Dean: Law school?
Sam: So we got a deal or not?

1. 【two-lane blacktop】雙車道板油路
2. 【M.I.A.】下落不明,完整版是missing in action
3. 【EVP】全稱Electronic Voice Phenomena,電子音頻現象,該設備可以靈敏的偵查到不同的電子活動,從而感知到靈異物體的存在與否。為其提供理論支持的是,死者可以通過對電子設備進行靜電干擾或白噪音的形式與生者溝通。白噪音即【white noise】是指寬頻帶內幅度均為隨機的一類聲波,經常用於測試音響的諧振和靈敏度。該片段中的語音留言聽起來受到強烈干擾,很可能是由於靈異現象的介入,於是這裏用一種叫Gold Wave的音頻編輯軟件將白噪音分離出來,加以調整後,果然得到另一個聲音文件。
4. 【on a plate】現成的,擺在眼前的。
