[ Hello, world. Meet new arrival, Sam Winchester. But you might not know that it's him, because he's not showing his face yet, and: ]

This is Agent Murdock. [ He clears his throat, pausing a moment. ] If anyone's out there, and can hear me, or needs help... just let me know. I'm sort of at a loss, here, and I'd like some information. If this thing is even working, that is.

[ He's confident in his tech abilities, but something's definitely up with his phone. ]

... Thanks.

[It kind of stings to talk about what should have happened, what kind of lives they have had.] It's not John's fault and you can't blame him for it. I'm sorry, Mary. My problems spilled over into your family because I wanted it to all end, because I thought it was the right thing to do for everyone and you and your family paid the price. However, I do not have the authority to re-write history. Not even I can stop Fate and Death from doing their jobs. [A pause because Michael does believe it but it won't change anything now.] I know you would but it too wouldn't change anything.

John's been chasing a ghost of a woman he thought he knew because you never told him. He was a man possessed by all the things you kept secret and his grief has consumed him for so long. It's hard to see beyond that sometimes but John has it in him to do so. He may just need a nudge.
