Phantom Wanderer (Supernatural). ghostly wanderer ghostly wanderer

A passenger who is afraid to fly on airplanes enters the toilet, and some black smoke infuses him - the man's eyes also turn black. The stewardess notices these eyes, but thinks that she just imagined.

The flight proceeds normally until the passenger asks his neighbor how long the flight has been going on. Upon learning that 40 minutes, he is surprised and gets up to stretch himself.

A strange passenger with black eyes comes to the plane door and, despite the screams of another passenger, opens them and flies out. The plane depressurizes, gets damaged and begins to rapidly fall to the ground ...

Sam Winchester arrives with coffee at the motel in the early morning, Dean suggests that he is tormented by nightmares in connection with the fate of Jessica. Dean himself says that he is not afraid of anything, but he has a hunting knife under his pillow, just in case.

The brothers receive a call from someone called Jerry Panowski from Kittaning, Pennsylvania. A couple of years ago, Dean and his father helped him get rid of the poltergeist, and now he again asks the Winchesters for help.

Panowski works for the airline, he reports that something strange has happened: United Britannia Airlines Flight 2485 has crashed and strange sounds are recorded on the registrar during the negotiations between the crew and the dispatcher. About a hundred passengers and crew members died in the crash, only seven survived, including an old friend of Panowski's, a pilot named Chuck Lambert.

In addition, Jerry talks about how John Winchester constantly talked about Samy and how proud he was of him.

Panowski promises to get passenger lists and survivor lists, but is unable to help the brothers look at the wreckage. Dean goes to the photo studio, where he makes special documents:

Sam: "Internal security? It's too much even for us..."
Dean: “But a new organization. Few have seen their papers.”
(Homeland Security Department)

After listening to the recording and removing the interference, the brothers learn that the voice says "no one survived." Since seven people survived the crash, the Winchesters decide to find out their fate. Dean recalls the famous Flight 401 that crashed in 1972 - after the parts of the plane were placed on other ships, the ghosts of the pilots began to appear on them.

Sam and Dean go to the Riverfront Psychiatric Clinic, where the passenger who tried to stop the possessed is located. Max Jaffee tells them that he saw strange black eyes in the passenger. In addition, he possessed incredible strength, as he managed to open the door during the flight.

The Winchesters go to see Bonnie Phelps, the widow of a strange passenger who caused the plane to crash. She says that her husband, dentist George Phelps, was very afraid of flying, but had to go to Denver for a conference. It turned out that no oddities had been noticed before him.

The brothers decide to go to the hangar where the wreckage of the plane is kept to study it. Sam offers to change and they buy black suits:

Dean: "Dude, I look like one of the Blues Brothers"
Sam: "It doesn't look like it. We are rather schoolchildren at the graduation ball "
Dean: "Damn..."
Here, "Man, I look like one of the Blues Brothers" is a reference to the blues band founded by comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi.

The Winchesters sneak into the hangar, where Dean takes out some kind of device:

Sam: "What is it?"
Dean: "EMF, electromagnetic frequency meter"
Sam: "I know what an EMF is, but why does it look like an old Walkman?"
Dean: "He used to be. Handmade"
Sam: "Yeah, you can see right away."

Here, "Walkman" refers to Sony's portable stereo cassette player.

In the hangar where parts of the aircraft are stored, the brothers find a door handle that was opened by George Phelps. Dean's device registers an impulse that comes from the pen, and some kind of plaque is found on it.

At this time, real Homeland Security agents arrive in the hangar, and Sam and Dean flee for their lives.

Crash survivor Chuck Lambert is preparing to fly a small plane. Until he finally came to his senses, Chuck is not allowed on the passenger liner.

As his comrade leaves, a black thing reappears from the vent and flies into Lambert's eye. He instantly changes and confidently sits in the cockpit.

Jerry Panowski determines that the coating on the plane's handle is sulfur. The Winchesters realize that they are dealing with a demon. Dean is upset that their father is not with them - after all, he himself has never encountered demons.

Chuck Lambert and the co-pilot are flying, and the demon again asks about the time:

Lambert: "How long are we flying?"
Co-pilot: "Forty minutes"
Lambert: "Yeah, time flies fast here."

Sam finds out that demons are known in all religions, and the Japanese believe that some of them specialize in disasters, natural and man-made.

Panowski calls and says that Chuck has crashed on his first flight since the crash, 60 miles from a town near Nazareth. (Dean notes that this is symbolic - a nod to the biblical Nazareth and Nazareth, whose music is used in the episode.)

Sulfur is again found at the crash site and it turns out that over the past 10 years, after 4 minutes of flight, six planes crashed here. Dean recalls that 40 is the number of death (40 days of the ark and more). In previous crashes, all passengers have died, and the Winchesters realize that the demon is killing the survivors of BA Flight 2485.

After checking where the survivors are, Sam learns that only flight attendant Amanda Walker is on the flight, flying to Indianapolis in a couple of hours. The brothers rush to the airport.

At the airport, Dean introduces himself as Dr. James Hetfield (the name of Metallica's frontman) and calls Amanda to report an accident involving her sister. But Amanda decides that he is a friend of her ex-boyfriend Vince and refuses to take the flight.

At this time, a black cloud appears from the ventilation, but Amanda manages to get to the plane earlier.

Sam offers to buy plane tickets to destroy the demon on board, but it turns out that Dean is afraid of flying: "Why do you think I drive a car!"

On board Flight 424, Dean sings a Metallica song while Sam figures out how to find the demon and the person it could possess. Dean goes to Amanda and is about to get some holy water to spray on the stewardess. But Sam takes the bottle and advises to use the name of Christ, spoken aloud in Latin.

Amanda turns out to be not possessed by a demon, and Dean walks down the aisle with the EMP, trying to find the evil spirits.

It turned out that the demon had moved into the pilot - the device detected radiation when he left the toilet. Hearing the word "Christo", the pilot turned - his eyes turned black.

The Winchesters ask Amanda to call the pilot to the tail section of the ship, reminding her of the strange passenger before the crash and informing her of Lambert's death. The stewardess goes to the cockpit and asks the possessed to go where Sam and Dean have indicated.

Sam finds a description of a ritual and a prayer to exorcise demons in his father's diary. When the pilot arrives at the back of the plane, Dean knocks him to the floor, tapes his mouth shut, and pours holy water over him. Sam reads a prayer, but it is very difficult to keep the demon.

The demon breaks free for a few seconds and tells Sam, “I know what happened to your girlfriend! She's still on fire!" Sam is lost for a second, but then continues the ritual, and black smoke flies from the demon-possessed pilot's mouth.

This was only the first stage of the exile - now that the demon does not need to control the pilot, it becomes much stronger. The plane begins to fall, but Sam finds the diary discarded by the demon and completes the banishment ritual.

The plane lands safely, the pilot says he doesn't remember anything since he entered the airport, and Amanda hides her involvement in the Winchesters' case from the police.

Sam remembers that the demon was talking about his dead girlfriend, but Dean advises not to believe him.

Sam: "Dean, he knew about Jessica!"
Dean: "Sam, these creatures can read minds. They lie and nothing else!”

Jerry Panowski, like Amanda Walker, thanks the brothers for helping and saving people. In addition, he reveals that he got Dean's number from his father, John Winchester, who recorded the message on an answering machine.

Dean calls his father's phone and indeed hears a message in which John says that those who need help can contact his son.

Sam is very upset that he cannot find his father, but only hears his voice.

Ghost Wanderer

It was the Month of Blue Berries, in the third year of the twelfth cycle of the Tree Cat Star, on the one thousand and forty-second revolution of the Wheel of the Universe, when the Hungry Ones first began to appear and disappear in the hills of Bindigo. At first they seemed like children or great running monkeys, for they were stupid and inept, but harmless. Then they began to catch the animals and make the animals disappear too; they also tried to catch people, but people ran away and hid in the villages. Then the Hungry began to kill people, fry and devour their flesh. Then the hunters of Bindigo and other villages, near which the Hungry appeared, began to kill them and hunt them, as they hunt root gnavers and screamers.

Only in the fifth year of the twelfth cycle Kailin Arksoras, patriarch[note: title unclear] the villages of Bindigo and Memmietieff[term unclear - untranslatable from Pigmin language] managed to approach the Hungry to enter their dreams and discover that they, in their own way, were also human.

From Pigmin Songs, translator and compiler Dr. H. Gordon, Oxford University Press.

Cute little animals, right?

Dr. Leonard McCoy, akimbo, stared at the silent crowd of pygmins, whose rounded, flat-headed silhouettes gradually emerged in the faint twilight at the end of the canyon where the landing party had materialized. From time to time, one or another pygmin stretched out his flexible neck, adding another foot and a half to his small stature, to look with twinkling gray eyes over the heads of his relatives. But for the most part, they just stood and watched. Each pair of bony, three-fingered hands clutched a flower; flower garlands wrapped around the narrow shoulders of the pygmins and adorned the long manes of their cobweb-thin hair, and clusters of pale corollas seemed to float without any support in the gathering twilight, exuding a delicate honey aroma, too pungent compared to the faint smell of mold emanating from the natives themselves.

Make sure they don't hear you, Bones," Captain James Kirk scolded his doctor in an undertone. “They killed a dozen of our scouts and contactees before we convinced them that there was a difference between us and the Klingons.

McCoy put on an offended look: the very idea that he could be confused with a Klingon seemed ridiculous to him. Dr. Helen Gordon, standing behind them, laughed softly.

I suspected that we would all seem the same to them.

Kirk turned around quickly, caught off guard and dissatisfied with himself. The planetary contact group had repeatedly assured them that there were no dangers here and that the landing force should be reduced to an absolute minimum, and yet he felt a little on edge, without reliable security support. Looking at the new arrivals, he thought that he should have heard them approach beforehand.

They stepped out of the blue evening into the open, two Vulcans and an Argelian in tattered khaki overalls. They were accompanied by half a dozen pygmins, the first of which was so old that his purple-brown, hairless skin had faded to a dusty gray tone, and the scars of the ritual tattoo stood out in whitish curls on it. His eyes also looked faded. Transparent, icy-gray, they shone with wisdom and sadness, and the skin around them and around the small hard beak was white, and the silky locks of the mane falling on stooped knotty shoulders had the same color. The only one of the pygmins, he walked empty-handed, although he waddle on two legs, not using one of his long arms for support, as his fellow tribesmen did from time to time.

A short, slender Vulcan—Kirk knew it was Dr. Shorak, the anthropopsychologist—stepped forward, passing a white-skinned pygmin, and handed two flowers each to Kirk, McCoy, Gordon, and the other two members of the federal contact team.

Take one in each hand,” he prompted quietly. - It is considered here that the hand holding the flower cannot be raised to strike.

What happens if I plug him behind the ear? McCoy asked, inhaling the intoxicatingly sweet scent of a small flower. - Will they offer me a hand and a heart?

Dr. Gordon smiled slyly.

If they don't, then I will," she promised, and Kirk couldn't help but chuckle. Unlike Dr. Mei Chu and Dr. Nomias Gzin, the other two representatives of the Federal Xenological Institute, Helen did not shun the company of others. On the contrary, in her two weeks aboard the Enterprise, she had become surprisingly easy friends not only with Kirk, but with most of the crew. Kirk was accustomed to meeting her among his men, whether in the break room or in the labs, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to imagine the ship without her - without her angular, ponderous grace, without the sound of that soft, husky contralto and the certainty that she would be somewhere nearby, when he is off duty.
