After the assignment was over, I got my grades. I got an A on this episode, and convinced my professor to watch the show. I think I would have been happy on that alone.
So, after this long intro, I'm going to post my Supernatural episode. But before I do, remember these things:
1. This was a few years ago. I didn't know what we know now.
2. This was written in Final Draft. There for it is in screenplay form. Don't be alarmed.
3. I've always been a big Daddy Winchester advocate. I've wanted him back since he died, so since I had the power, I made that happen.
4. I am not Eric Kripke, nor am I Sera Gamble. I am also not one of the amazing writers on the show, although I WANT TO BE.
5. This is all my own desire about how I wanted to make the show.
Please be kind. Enjoy the read. Tell me what you think. Jerk/Bitch.

TEASER
EXT. WALLACE IDAHO STREETS -NIGHT
Street lights flicker. Silence engulfs the town.
EXT. WALLACE MINE- NIGHT
Water trickles down the walls of the mine, crackle noises
come from all around.
A SECURITY GUARD, 40s, walks through
with his flashlight.
SECURITY GUARD
Hello? Anyone down here?
He shines the light down the mine, turns around toward the
exit. Begins to walk up. Hears rustling. Turns around.
SECURITY GUARD (CONT’D)
Last call. Anyone down here?
He hears laughter. He spots a young couple making out on the
ground.
SECURITY GUARD
(CONT’D)
What are you kids doing down here?
You can’t be down here at this
hour. Come on, get gone!
The couple laughs, continue to kiss. The Security Guard turns
around and walks towards the exit. He turns off the last
light in the mine.
KYLE, 24. Blonde, clean cut good looking
boy in jeans and a tee shirt. ALICIA, 23. Long brown hair,
pretty girl in jeans and a button up shirt.
ALICIA
(pushes boy away)
Wait, where did he go?
KYLE
(grabs her head)
Does it matter? We know how to get
outta here…
The boy leans into the girls neck, begins to kiss it. She
giggles.
Blood sprays onto the couple.
ALICIA
What is that?
KYLE
(unbuttons her shirt)
What is what?
ALICIA
This, here. Look at this.
KYLE
That’s what I’m talking about…
ALICIA
No, Kyle. I mean, shine the light
over here.
Kyle grabs flashlight and shines on hands. Alicia Screams.
Kyle drops flashlight, blood on mine walls, Security guard’s
head lies detached from body in front of the flashlight.
OPENING TITLES
ACT ONE
INT. WALLACE INN-EARLY MORNING
Dark red curtains, black and red walls, random art, fill the
walls. DEAN WINCHESTER, 31, sleeps in a full sized bed next
to his brother, SAM WINCHESTER, 27, in a separate full sized
bed. Dean’s cell phone rings on the night stand to his left.
He doesn’t lift his head off the pillow, reaches his arm and
grabs the phone, flips it open.
Silence.
DEAN
Yeah?
JOHN (O.S.)
Dean? Are you there, Dean?
Dean opens his eyes, looks at the caller ID, hangs up the
phone. Slams his phone on the night stand, buries his head
back in his pillow.
MOMENTS LATER
Dean’s cell phone rings, wakes up SAM.
SAM
You gonna get that, Dean?
DEAN
Nope, go back to sleep Sammy.
Sam’s phone rings. Dean opens his eyes, rolls his body over,
sits up and grabs Sam’s phone.
SAM
Dean, what are you doing?
Dean hits the ignore button. Dean’s phone rings.
DEAN
Stop calling me you demonic son of
a bitch!
Sam surveys Dean. Dean’s eyes widen.
JOHN (O.S.)
Dean. Don’t hang up, it’s me, Dad.
I need your help.
Dean fully sits up, wipes his left eye with his hand.
DEAN
Yeah, right. Dad, huh?
Dean shakes his head and rolls his eyes. He hits the end
button. Sets the phone on the night stand. Continues to sit
up on bed.
Sam picks up his phone, glances at the voice mail icon. Hits
the one button, and speaker phone.
JOHN (O.S.)
Sammy, It’s dad. I’m in Lawrence, I
need help. Where are you? Call me
back, Sammy.
Sam presses the end call button. Stares at Dean, soulfully.
Dean shuffles off the bed.
DEAN
Well, I’m up for the day.
Dean slaps his hands on his thighs and gets off the bed.
Walks over to the fridge, pulls out a beer, twists the cap
off.
SAM
Shouldn’t we talk about this?
Dean walks to the table, slams down the beer.
DEAN
What is there to talk about Sam?
Dad died. We saw it happen. We
salted and burned his bones, the
whole nine yards. Up and at ‘em,
Sammy. We have police to
impersonate.
Dean walks to the bathroom, closes the door. Sam looks at the
clock.
SAM
Dean, it’s 4:30. Beer, really?
DEAN (O.S.)
Sammy, it’s a light beer.
Sam shakes his head, grabs his cell phone from the night
stand. Hits the voice mail button and holds the phone to his
ear.
Dean exits the bathroom, adjusts his tie. Sam quickly hangs
up the phone, setting it on the bed beside him.
Sam grabs his duffle bag, searches for a suit jacket and tie.
SAM
Stranger things have happened,
Dean. If you think about it, this
is us. We have seen it all, dad
coming back wouldn’t be the most
random, We are facing the
apocalypse….
Dean interrupts.
DEAN
Sam! Go get dressed.
Dean waits for Sam to leave the room, picks up the beer,
drinks it. Slams it back on the table, looks at his cell
phone. ONE MISSED CALL: DAD. Puts the phone back in his
pocket.
Sam and Dean exit the motel room and enter the Impala. Dean
jumps in the drivers seat, Sam hold directions to the mine in
his right hand. Dean starts the car, they drive.
EXT. WALLACE MINE- EARLY MORNING
They pull up to behind the mine. Dean grabs a gun from the
glove box, and they exit the car. Out of sight, they sneak in
the back.
SAM
We need to go this way…
DEAN
How could you possible know that?
Like you have been here before.
SAM
It’s called research, Dean.
DEAN
(under his breath)
You’re the research.
Sam and Dean travel through the mine. Water trickles.
SAM
I really hope that’s just water
dripping.
Dean follows behind Sam, laughs. Steps into a puddle. Looks
down.
DEAN
Gross!
SAM
What?
Dean points.
DEAN
Dude,look.
Sam kneels.
SAM
Guess it wasn’t water.
Dean glares at Sam.
DEAN
So what do we know other than she’s
blood thirsty?
SAM
She’s been haunting this place for
years, and from the looks of it,
it’s only gotten worse.
DEAN
Ya think?
SAM
It takes a lot of time and anger
built up to get to this point.
DEAN
Happy, perky people don’t wind up
being a vengeful spirit.
Radio static echoes. Sam and Dean look at each other. Dean
points down the mine, motions Sam to follow. They peek into
an opening, slowly exit the mine from the back.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Put on your big girl panties,
Sammy.
Sam straightens his tie.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Excuse us. Federal agents.
Dean pulls out his fake badge, Sam follows.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Agent Plant, this is Agent Page.
What can you tell us about what
happened here?
POLICEMAN, 40s, motions the boys forward, grabs a flashlight
from his holster.
POLICEMAN
(while he walks)
A young couple saw the whole thing
happen. They have some bumps an
bruises but seem to be OK, just up
the street at the hospital, there.
Sam pokes around the mine, apparent blood stains are on the
walls.
SAM
So no body was recovered?
The Policeman shakes his head.
POLICEMAN
Not that we could find down here
anyway. We have a search going,
hopefully in the next few hours the
guys will find something.
Dean looks around at the mine, Sam and Dean look at each
other.
DEAN
Where was that hospital located
again?
The Policeman walks the boys out of the mine, hands Dean a
piece of paper with the couples names and information on it.
SAM
Thank you for your time.
Puts his hand out to shake. Dean does the same. They exit the
mine, climb back into the Impala, Dean back in the drivers
seat.
INT. CAR- DAY
DEAN
So, blood, no body, but two
survivors.
SAM
Must mean she was just looking for one in particular…
DEAN
And we have dealt with those kind
before..
SAM
Thinking a lady in white?
DEAN
Has to be, right? One man missing,
blood everywhere, two people left
relatively unharmed, fits the M.O.
SAM
So I guess that means, research?
DEAN
Oh Sammy. Right after the hospital
it will be weird encyclopedia.com
for you.
Dean smirks. They pull into the hospital parking lot. They
enter the hospital.
EXT./INT- HOSPITAL-SHOSHONE MEDICAL CENTER
Sam knocks on the door, and enters with badge in hand.
SAM
Sorry to bother you, We just have a
few questions, if you are up for
it.
Kyle lies in bed, eyes puffy, scratches on his face. Alicia,
sits with her arm in a sling in a chair at his bedside.
ALICIA
We already answered some officers
questions, can this wait?
KYLE
No, Alicia, it’s fine. How can we
help?
SAM
Can you tell us what happened last
night, whatever you can remember
would be extremely helpful.
ALICIA
We were just sitting there, in the
dark….
KYLE
Well, we weren’t exactly just
sitting there... we were making
out..more or less...We go to the
mine for privacy from everyone…..
DEAN
Kinda dangerous, an empty mine of
all places?
Alicia glares at Dean.
ALICIA
We’ve been going there for years,
nothing bad has ever happened.
We’ve been safe.
DEAN
I bet you have….
Sam looks at Dean, then back to Kyle and Alicia.
SAM
Please, continue….
KYLE
It all happened so fast. There was
the same guard that is always
there, he comes down, shines the
light and gives a warning, then he
usually makes his way back up the
mine. This time he warned us, and
then there was blood everywhere.
DEAN
Did you notice any weird smell,
like sulfur? See anything that
wasn’t supposed to be there?
Alicia looks at Dean with a “What the hell” look
ALICIA
It’s a mine, there is a lot of
weird smells.
Dean gives a look of disapproval.
DEAN
Any specific smells that you
remember? Different than normal?
KYLE
No, not that I can remember. It was
pretty normal.
ALICIA
Normal. Yeah, after the head and
blood everywhere.. That is what I
like to call normal….
SAM
How did you…
KYLE
(points at face)
Do this?
ALICIA
He slipped and fell on the blood,
taking me down with him, giving me
a broken arm.
Dean’s cell phone rings.
DEAN
Excuse me, I have to take this.
Dean steps out into hallway.
INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY-DAY
DEAN
What do ya got for me Bobby?
JOHN (O.S.)
Dean, don’t hang up. I need your
help. Where are you?
Dean’s face tightens, his eyes widen. He closes the phone.
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM-DAY
Dean enters the hospital room.
DEAN
Thank you for your time, If you
remember anything else, don’t
hesitate to call.
Sam looks at Dean, confused. Dean hands a card to Kyle, grabs
Sam by the arm, drags him out of the room.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Sammy, the demon found us, we gotta
get out of here.
SAM
Demon? What kind of demon?
DEAN
I don’t know, but one of them did.
EXT. SHOSHONE MEDICAL CENTER
Dean rushes to the Impala, Sam follows behind him.
INT. CAR- DAY
Dean slams the door, turns on the car. Drives.
SAM
We can’t just leave, Dean. We are
in the middle of a case. We can’t
just walk out on the town, on these
people, like that. You know we
can’t.
DEAN
All I know is one demonic son of a
bitch is headed for us, and we know
what they want, Sam.
EXT. WALLACE INN- DAY
Sam and Dean exit the car.
DEAN
They found us Sammy, we don’t have
a choice. We have to keep running.
SAM
You know that isn’t the way Dean.
Let’s finish the job.
Dean sticks the key in the door, unlocks and turns the
handle. Pushes the door open. JOHN WINCHESTER, 50, Their
father, sits on the corner of the bed.
JOHN
Hey there boys.
END OF ACT ONE
ACT TWO
INT. WALLACE INN- DAY
Dean and Sam stand in the doorway. Dean drops his keys on the
floor.
DEAN
Sam, Sammy…
Sam nods and ducks, grabs his duffle bag, pulls out a bottle
filled with Holy water. Splashes John.
JOHN
Boys….
DEAN
Shut up.
Dean bends over, grabs his shot gun, shoots John with a round
of rock salt. John falls off the bed, grabs his stomach in
pain, begins to laugh.
JOHN
I taught you boys well, didn’t I?
Sam and Dean look at each other.
DEAN
Ok, if you really are who you say
that you are.... What year is the
Impala?
Dean stares directly into John’s eyes. John cracks a smile.
JOHN
‘67. And where is my leather
jacket?
Dean takes a step back. Sam smiles. Sam walks over to John,
throws his arms around him.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Good to see you, Sammy.
Sam starts to cry, tears hit John’s shoulders. They pull
apart. Dean saunters over.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Hey there, Dean.
John walks slowly towards Dean, Dean steps into his arms.
Dean and John cry.
Sam, Dean, and John sit at the table, eat pizza, drink beer.
SAM
So where were you? How did you get
out? How did you get to Lawrence?
DEAN
How are you in your own body? Did
the angels have something to do
with this?
John puts down his slice of pizza.
JOHN
One question at a time, boys. I
woke up in Lawrence about a week
ago. I don’t exactly know much
else.
Dean continues to eat, Sam sets down his pizza.
SAM
You can’t just wake up somewhere
and not remember how you got there?
It has been so long. I don’t see
how this could happen without it
being angelic or demonic.
Dean stares at Sam.
DEAN
Sam’s right. I did pop up out of no
where, no idea why, or where I was.
It didn’t take me long to figure
out that Angels were responsible.
Dean picks up his beer, drinks it. John picks up his beer.
JOHN
I was in Lawrence for an hour
before I figured out where I was.
Once I did I had to figure out how
to get out of there, and where you
guys were.
DEAN
Any marks anywhere, like this one?
Dean rolls up his left sleeve, exposes the red burnt on hand
print on his upper arm.
JOHN
Not that I’ve seen....
Sam looks at Dean.
SAM
How else could you have gotten
here, from where ever you were?
JOHN
I don’t know, Sammy. Obviously
somebody wanted me here, or else I
wouldn’t be here. I can tell you
are skeptical. You did the tests,
I’m still here. How do you explain
that?
Sam shakes his head.
SAM
I honestly don’t know. Dean….
Sam motions his hand for Dean to follow. Sam gets up from the
table, walks towards the door.
JOHN
Take all the time you need boys. I
don’t blame you, I would be
skeptical as Hell….
Sam smiles, walks out the door. Dean follows.
DEAN
What Sam?
SAM
Dean, you know how this looks. We
salted and burned his bones. How
could he come back from that?
Dean paces.
DEAN
I don’t know, Sammy. I mean, this
is dad. Everything about the man
screams John Winchester.
SAM
I know, but it doesn’t seem
possible
DEAN
After all the things that we have
seen, and experienced, all the
things that we have done. You can’t
possibly say that.
Sam stops Dean from pacing, puts his arm on his shoulder.
SAM
We can’t say anything right now. We
just can’t.
The door opens. John stands behind it.
JOHN
I can hear you, ya know?
Sam and Dean look at John.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Come back in, we can discuss this
like men.
Dean looks at Sam, walks inside the door. Sam shakes his
head, follows him in. Sam closes the door, stands by it.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Take a seat, Sammy.
Sam shakes his head.
SAM
I’m good standing.
DEAN
Come on, Sam. We need to figure
this all out.
SAM
What is there to figure out, John
Winchester is back in his old body,
which just so happens we salted and
burned, and we don’t know how he
got there, but our dad is talking
to us right now.
DEAN
Sam!
Sam walks over and sits at the table next to Dean.
DEAN (CONT’D)
And the douche award goes to….
JOHN
He has reason to be skeptical, I
don’t understand it myself. I’m
here. It’s me. Now, are you gonna
tell me about this case that you’ve
got going on here?
(MORE)
JOHN (CONT'D)
Bobby filled me in on most of the
details, but what have you dug up?
Sam props up.
SAM
You talked to Bobby?
JOHN
How do you think I got here?
Neither one of you would tell me
where you were, I know Bobby would
know. We went through this whole
mess as well.
DEAN
So, Bobby knows. Why didn’t he call
us?
JOHN
Maybe he tried.
SAM
He obviously failed.
Sam gets his cell phone out of his pocket, dials Bobby.
SAM (CONT’D)
No answer, that’s not like him.
John stands up, frustrated.
JOHN
We can debate this all day, or we
could go hunt a demon and save some
people. Your call.
Sam pulls out his laptop from his duffle bag.
SAM
Sarah Lindley, we think that she is
a woman in white. Everything fits.
Dean rips papers off of the wall. Hands them to John.
DEAN
Sarah Lindley, 26 hung herself
after drowning her two children in
the Coeur d’ Alene river, after
finding out her husband was
unfaithful. Basic story.
JOHN
Do you know who her husband was?
SAM
That we do, his name is Howard. He
still works at the mine, which is
where we were earlier. He wasn’t
there, but should be tonight.
JOHN
I didn’t know these mines were
still active….
SAM
Not for mining, but for tours. They
haven’t completely shut it down.
The sheriff says kids would just
break in and we could have
ourselves another “ My Bloody
Valentine” on our hands…
Dean smirks, shakes his head.
DEAN
We also found out where she was
buried. And yes, all of her was
buried.
JOHN
Well we gotta get to Howard. Tell
me where Sarah is buried, I will
salt and burn her bones while you
guys go and get to Howard.
Sam takes a deep breath in.
SAM
Are you sure you are up to it?
DEAN
Come on, Sammy. He is up for
anything.
Dean pats John on the shoulder. Dean grabs his jacket off the
chair, puts it on.
JOHN
There is something else you guys
should know….
Dean fixes his shirt under his jacket.
DEAN
What’s that?
JOHN
I got a tip... on Lucifer... I
stumbled across some insider
information. I know where he is.
Sam and Dean look at John, then back at each other.
DEAN
Why didn’t you say anything?
Dean grabs his keys off the coffee table.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Let’s go.
John shakes his head.
JOHN
You still have a job to do here.
You can’t just…..
SAM
We have been lookin’ for him for
weeks, then you show up, outta no
where, expecting us to just stay
and not go chase the bastard?
Dean sits on the chair next to John.
DEAN
Dad is right, Sam. We need to
finish the job, we can’t just
abandon these people.
Sam gives Dean a confused look. Dean stands back up, keys in
hand.
JOHN
I will head to the grave. Just give
me the directions. You get Howard,
we will meet here after it is all
done. Keep your cell phones on.
Dean nods. John walks out the door, Dean follows, Sam lags
behind.
DEAN
Sam. Come on.
Sam shuffles his feet. Follows Dean.
EXT. WALLACE INN- DAY
John gets into an older model F-150, peels out. Dean waves
and goes straight to the Impala. Sam fidgets, climbs into the
passenger seat.
SAM
Don’t cha think this is a little
weird, Dean? He knows where Lucifer
is and we have to wait until this
case is over to find out? I don’t
know about you, but this isn’t
making a whole lotta sense to me.
Dean looks out the drivers side window, turns his head back
to Sam.
SAM (CONT’D)
So?
DEAN
So what? Yeah, it’s a little
random, but what about our lives is
really in place?
Sam shakes his head.
SAM
How can you, out of all people,
defend this? We don’t even know if
it’s all dad, or any of him. We
just have to have that blind faith
in the man.
DEAN
Sometimes blind faith is all you
got, Sammy.
SAM
That’s not good enough this time,
Dean. I want real answers. I want
to know that our dad is actually
back, I want to know that he is
gonna stick around and be the
father that we always needed as
kids.
DEAN
It’s too late for that.
SAM
For what? To have a childhood
maybe, but a father, no.
DEAN
No promises will be made. I
guarantee that. If it is the real
John Winchester, you know he won’t
make any promises. He never did.
SAM
You can’t tell me that after this
case you don’t wanna know where the
Hell he came from?
Dean shakes his head, repeatedly, turns up the radio. Sam
stares at Dean. Dean puts his right hand on the steering
wheel, his left hand out the window and taps on the roof.
EXT. WALLACE MINE-MINUTES LATER
Dean and Sam pull up to the mine. Dean parks the Impala
crooked in the parking lot. Dean turns off the car and gets
out. Sam looks out the window, slowly opens the door.
A Girl screams.
Dean opens the trunk, pulls out shot guns and rock salt. Sam
stands up out of the car, Dean throws Sam a gun.
DEAN
Let’s go, Sammy.
Sam follows Dean into the mine. Dean Switches on a
flashlight, holds in left hand, shot gun in right.
INT. WALLACE MINE-SECONDS LATER
The mine is cold, damp, dank. Sam and Dean walk with caution
through the darkness.
SAM
See anything?
DEAN
Not yet.
Dean shines the flashlight down the mine, back at Sam.
DEAN (CONT’D)
You heard that too, right?
Sam nods his head.
DEAN (CONT’D)
What the Hell. I mean, really, What
the Hell Sam?
SAM
I don’t know.
INT. WALLACE MINE OFFICE
HOWARD,43, good looking guy, sits as his desk.
HOWARD
(on phone)
Yeah, Clive. We should have that
all dug up by Thursday. No, you
don’t have to go somewhere else.
Really, where else would you go?
It’s always a pleasure doing
business with you.
FADE TO:
Howard hangs up the phone. Shakes his head. Sexy Secretary
enters.
SECRETARY
I’m gonna take off, is that OK?
HOWARD
I guess it is quitting time, isn’t
it. You can take off. I’ll stick
around for a little bit.
SECRETARY
Sure you don’t want me to wait? I
would be happy to.
Howard twirls his wedding ring.
HOWARD
No, it’s ok. One of the security
guards should be here soon. I won’t
be alone for very long.
SECRETARY
If you are sure. There isn’t a
thing that I have to do this
evening.
Howard checks his watch.
HOWARD
No, really. You don’t need to stay
around here any longer than you
have to. I’m just going to make
another phone call anyway.
SECRETARY
Suit yourself. See you tomorrow,
Howard.
Secretary leaves disappointed.
Howard picks up the phone, dials.
HOWARD
(on phone)
Dan. How’s It going? Well thank
you. Listen, I seem to have a
problem. Clive needs those
materials dug up by Thursday. I
told him we had our best people
working on it, and by best people,
I mean you. (pause) Could you
possibly pull in some overtime for
this?
CLICK from the phone.
HOWARD (CONT’D)
Hello? Dan?
Howard looks at the phone, fiddles with the cord.
HOWARD (CONT’D)
Must have been a bad connection.
CRASH comes from the mine. Howard stands. Pokes head out of
office
HOWARD (CONT’D)
Hello?
Howard shrugs, walks back to his desk.
CRASH from mine.
Howard walks through the mine, flashlight in hand.
HOWARD (CONT’D)
Anyone down here? I’m closing up
for the night.
Howard’s watch beeps.
VOICE calls from the mine “HOWARD”
HOWARD (CONT’D)
Who’s there?
Voice repeats “HOWARD”
Howard stumbles, falls to the ground.
HOWARD (CONT’D)
This isn’t funny, whoever this is.
SARAH LINDLEY, white dress, pale skin, red eyes appears
behind Howard.
SARAH LINDLEY
Don’t you know your own wife’s
voice?
Howard breathes a sigh of relief.
HOWARD
Shana, You scared the Hell outta
me.
SARAH LINDLEY
Shana? Who is that?
Howard turns around.
HOWARD
Sarah? How…
SARAH LINDLEY
Hello Howard. Miss me?
Sarah bends and touches Howard. Loud Scream.
INT WALLACE MINE
FADE TO:
Dean turns around, shines the flashlight,stops in his
tracks. A WOMAN stands in front of him.
SARAH LINDLEY
Hello boys.
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
INT. WALLACE MINE
SARAH LINDLEY stands in front of the boys. White dress, pale
face, red eyes.
DEAN
I have had about enough of your
kind.
SARAH
And what kind would that be?
DEAN
Selfish spirits who can’t let go.
You are just holding on to nothing,
you know that?
Sarah flings Dean against the wall.
SARAH
Selfish, huh? We will see about
that.
DEAN
Does something seem a bit off to
you, Sam?
Dean dangles, moves his head towards Sam. Sam reaches for a
gun from the duffle bag.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Something about you just seems to
be extra special about you.
SARAH
Really, I guess I’m just good at my
job.
DEAN
No, I think your flavor is just
extra bitchy.
Sam loads the gun. Sarah motions her hand, the gun falls to
the ground. Sarah looks back at Dean.
SARAH
I think you should watch your tone,
Dean. I seem to be capable of a
lot, you know. And that rock salt
won’t work on me.
SAM
Dean, I don’t think she is just
a…
Sarah flings Sam against the wall.
SARAH
What? Just a spirit? My my Sam, you
catch on as fast as they say. It’s
hard to believe that you were dumb
enough to trust a demon once.
SAM
Shut up.
SARAH LINDLEY
What was her name again? Oh yeah
right.
SAM
I mean it.
SARAH LINDLEY
Oh yes, Ruby. You know what is
funny about that, there wasn’t even
a demon that liked her. Talk about
a demon’s demon. And you fell for
it. We were all so surprised when
that happened. I don’t think even
Lucifer saw that one.
DEAN
You think that stuff is really
going to shake him? He’s heard it
all, sister.
SARAH LINDLEY
Oh, it looks like it is. Look at
him, he’s quite squeamish.
DEAN
Nah, he always looks like that,
right, Sammy?
SARAH LINDLEY
Awe, isn’t that cute, one brother
sticking up for the other. Wait,
isn’t that how it always happens in
your story? One brother builds up
the other, and we are all supposed
to believe it. Like that really
works for anyone anymore, really.
Sam nods.
SAM
We do ok.
SARAH LINDLEY
Yeah, by ok, you mean the
Apocalypse. Come on, Sam. Own up.
SAM
I know what I did, I’m not proud of
it.
SARAH LINDLEY
Oh, but you should be. You single
handedly started the end of the
world. Bravo.
Sarah claps.
DEAN
Listen you bitch. We can stop it
and we will. You best be believing
that.
SARAH LINDLEY
You brush this off like its not the
end of the world, but it is. This
isn’t some small job you can bounce
back from. Millions and millions of
people are going to die, each one
of them your fault.
SAM
You think I don’t know this?
SARAH LINDLEY
I don’t think it even computes for
you. When Lucifer takes you over,
you won’t be able to hide from it.
You’re eyes will be stuck open to
see all these people die. It won’t
end, Sam. It will never end. Do you
know what never is? No stopping.
The rivers and lakes will run with
blood. Rail will be tears, tears of
the parents that lost their
children, all because of deal old
Sammy Winchester.
DEAN
You need to stop.
Sarah waves her hand, silences Dean.
SARAH LINDLEY
Oh but Dean, you know it’s true.
Turns to look at Sam.
SARAH LINDLEY (CONT’D)
Little Sammy here, you're really
small now, weak, broken. Well you
know what they say, what doesn't
break you... Well this time, it
made us stronger. Thanks for that.
SAM
You bitch.
SARAH LINDLEY
Can’t take the heat, stay out of
the kitchen, Sam.
Sarah turns to Dean.
DEAN
Don’t even start with me,
sweetheart.
SARAH LINDLEY
Tisk tisk, a little testy, aren’t
we? Don’t act like you are the
innocent one, cause we all know the
skeletons that lie in your closet.
Dean struggles.
SARAH LINDLEY (CONT’D)
You really think that you can go up
against Lucifer? The two of you
can’t even fight off a simple ghost
without getting yourselves into
trouble.
SAM
We’ve wasted worse.
SARAH LINDLEY
Oh, was that a shot at me? Sam you
should know better. I hold all the
cards here.
SAM
From what we can tell, you have a
loosing hand.
SARAH LINDLEY
Clever.
DEAN
Oh, you better believe him. How do
you know we don’t have a back up
plan?
SARAH LINDLEY
From what I hear, the Winchester’s
never have a back up plan. I think
I’m safe.
DEAN
You seem to know a whole lot about
us.
SARAH LINDLEY
Well, you boys are a hot topic
these days. You can only piss off
so many demons before we all start
to hear about it.
Sam and Dean can only move their heads.
DEAN
Being a spirit wasn’t enough for
you? Let me guess, you asked for
this, right? To be able to walk and
not float?
SARAH
You think I wanted this?
SAM
Why else would you be here?
SARAH
It’s like killing two birds with
one store, so to speak. Now, you
just hang in there. There is
someone I must see.
Across the mine, Howard hangs on the wall. Sam struggles to
move.
HOWARD
What’s going on?
SARAH
My dear Howard. There is a lot of
explaining that needs to be done,
but I don’t have time for any of
that. Let’s just get to the punch
line, shall we.
DEAN
Howard, whatever she tells you,
it’s lies. Don’t listen to it.
SARAH
Why are you trying to get in
between me and my Howard?
Sarah walks over to Dean. Scratches his chest. Dean oozes
blood.
DEAN
(in pain)
This was my good shirt.
SAM
We know what really happened,
Sarah. Howard wasn’t responsible
for anything.
DEAN
It won’t work, Sam. Not if a demon
is controlling the angry spirit, it
will just light the fire….
SARAH
And the fire must be lit.
Sarah walks back to Howard.
HOWARD
Please, Sarah. I didn’t do
anything. Please. You were here one
day and gone the next. I didn’t
know where you went. I had to move
on with my life.
SARAH
And you didn’t think that would
hurt me, Howard? You didn’t even
try to find out what happened to
me, why I did what I did.
HOWARD
I didn’t know. You were gone. Our
kids were gone. I thought you just
left me, Sarah. I never found out
what really happened. Just the
rumors, that’s all there was. I
never believed that you would hurt
our children.
SARAH
I had to, Howard. Don’t you see.
You made me do this. It was your
fault. If you would have been
faithful.
HOWARD
I was never unfaithful, Sarah. I
was only with you. It wasn’t until
after you were gone, for years.
SARAH
I understand, you had to get over
me you had to move on.
HOWARD
Yes. Now, you can let these boys
go, we can talk about this.
SARAH
Howard, I can’t let them go, they
want to kill me. They would just
take me away from you again, is
that what you want?
HOWARD
Of course not. Why would I want
that?
SARAH
You were always so sweet.
She kisses his cheek. Breaks his neck. Howard falls to the
ground.
SARAH (CONT’D)
It felt good to do something again,
get my hands dirty…
Sarah walks over to Sam, puts her icy hands around his
throat.
SARAH (CONT’D)
Oh, Sam. It will be fun watching
you die.
Sam’s feet dangle, Dean struggles. She runs her finger down
Sam’s chest.
SAM
Go to Hell!
Sarah takes a step back, bursts into flames. Sam and Dean
fall to the floor.
DEAN
Nice timing on that one, Sammy.
SAM
Wasn’t me, must have been..
DEAN
Dad. You can say it.
SAM
Well, it worked whatever it was.
Sam helps Dean up. They exit the mine.
EXT. WALLACE MINE
Sam helps Dean into the passenger seat of the impala. Sam
drives.
SAM
Keep pressure on that.
DEAN
Yeah, Sam. You act like this is the
first time I’ve been stabbed, or
scratched, or maimed.
SAM
I know. That was just... close.
Really close.
DEAN
We would have gotten out of it. We
have gotten out of worse.
SAM
Ya sure? I don’t know Dean. She was
pretty pissed. Whoever she was…
DEAN
Dad came through, Sammy. You should
see that, now more than ever.
Sam clenches the steering wheel. Dean puts pressure on his
wound.
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
EXT. WALLACE INN
Sam pulls into a parking spot. Exits car, helps Dean out of
car.
SAM
Isn’t that?
Points to the truck in the space across.
DEAN
Yep, he’s back.
Sam puts Dean’s arm around his shoulders, helps him inside
the room.
INT. WALLACE INN
Sam lays Dean on the bed, goes to the bathroom. Grabs cloth
and damps it.
SAM
You sure got back here quick.
John sits at the table, sips on a beer.
JOHN
I’ve been to this town, once or
twice.
SAM
Wallace, really?
JOHN
Yeah, stopped in from time to time.
SAM
Stopped in?
Sam gives Dean the cloth to clean his wound.
JOHN
That hurt?
DEAN
Feels kinda good actually. Real
pain from a real demon.
JOHN
Demon? I thought she was just a
spirit?
SAM
That’s what we thought too.
DEAN
She started mouthing off, and she
knew us. Spirits don’t know us.
Demons do.
JOHN
What did she say?
SAM
The usual. We are pretty hated by
the entire demon population.
JOHN
What would be the usual?
DEAN
Oh you know, we live up to our
reputations, Sam started the
apocalypse….
Sam clears his throat.
JOHN
She didn’t shake you, did she?
DEAN
Nah, don’t worry. Sam is stone.
Dean shakes his head.
SAM
I was fine.
JOHN
Ya sure, son. You can get riled
up.
SAM
It’s not like I haven’t heard it
before. I have come to terms…
DEAN
Sam.
SAM
What?
DEAN
It’s ok. You don’t have to..
Dean nods.
SAM
No, Dean. I do. I know what I did,
and I know how messed up it was. On
my own I brought on the end of the
world.
DEAN
Sam.
SAM
Don’t protect me, Dean.
JOHN
He’s right.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Don’t protect him anymore, Dean.
You can’t always protect him.
Dean looks at John.
DEAN
Why do I feel like it’s opposite
day?
JOHN
I say it with the best intent.
DEAN
Best intent? When you I don’t know,
died, or whatever, you specifically
told me to look out for Sam, to
save him. Why is it all of a
sudden, “back off Dean’?
JOHN
He’s just gotta learn. You still
need to look out for him, just in a
different way than what you are
used to. More of a silent way.
DEAN
Oh ya, cause that makes a lot of
friggin; sense.
JOHN
You’ll see.
SAM
I don’t mind having Dean look out
for me, ya know? I just know what I
did...
JOHN
I know, Sammy. I know.
Dean rolls his eyes.
DEAN
We were talking about a demon
right?
JOHN
Yeah. How did this happen?
Points to Dean’s wound.
DEAN
I think she liked me.
JOHN
Sorry, boys.
DEAN
For what?
JOHN
Falling behind…
DEAN
Behind? Another minute and we would
have been Hell bound.
SAM
A minute? More like seconds.
JOHN
It was taking longer than I thought
to find the corpse.
SAM
You should have let one of us go
with you…
JOHN
For what? To prove me wrong? To see
that I’m not really your dad? What
Sam?
DEAN
To help you dig.
JOHN
I’m sure that’s not what you meant,
right Sam?
SAM
Yeah, well.
DEAN
Sam.
JOHN
It’s fine, Dean. He can believe
what he wants. I’m not going to
force him to listen to me. I’m not
going to make the same mistakes
that I made before.
Dean gets up, walks to the fridge, grabs a beer.
DEAN
I think we all deserve one of
these. Sam?
Sam shakes his head.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Suit yourself.
JOHN
Wichita.
DEAN
What?
JOHN
Wichita, Kansas. That is where you
can find Lucifer.
Sam and Dean look at each other.
DEAN
Wichita huh?
JOHN
Yeah. There has been demonic omens,
worse than anyone has ever seen
before. Bobby and I found a bunch
of them in the matter of hours. No
telling how long he will actually
be there, as of yesterday he was
seeming to make a new home for
himself.
SAM
What are we waiting for, let’s go.
JOHN
It’s not that easy, Sammy. There is
traps set up all around that town.
You can’t just walk in.
DEAN
So, we’ll fight ‘em. The three of
us together can do it. We can even
get Bobby in on this action.
JOHN
No, not the three of us….
DEAN
What?
JOHN
I have to take some time, to get my
strength back. There is no way I
can go fighting Lucifer in my
condition. I’m not ready yet.
SAM
You must be our dad. Bailing when
really needed.
JOHN
Sam.
DEAN
He’s right. We have been let down
by you more times than we can
actually count. Whenever the tough
comes, John gets going.
JOHN
What would you rather have me do?
Go in tired, get all of us killed?
DEAN
At this point, yes.
SAM
It’s fine, Dean. Let him go.
Dean looks at Sam.
SAM (CONT’D)
You should get rest. We all need to
be prepared for this.
John smiles at Sam.
JOHN
I wouldn’t expect you being the one
to stand up for me, Sammy.
SAM
You are right, this time. You
deserve to be backed up.
Dean stands.
DEAN
Wait. This really isn’t a good
idea. You need to be listening to
me. We should stay together. You
can rest, get your strength back
and we can hatch a plan.
JOHN
Sorry, Dean. That just won’t work.
I have to be on my own to heal
faster. I know that if I’m with you
boys I will just want to help. I
need to be on my own for this.
Dean rolls his eyes. John stands.
JOHN (CONT’D)
It was great to see you boys. Don’t
worry, I will keep in touch and see
you in a few days. Wichita.
Sam stands, walks towards John.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Sammy. Take care of yourself.
SAM
Yeah, I will.
John shakes hands with Sam. John walks towards Dean.
JOHN
Dean. It will be OK. A few days.
DEAN
Yeah, OK.
They shake hands.
JOHN
Take care boys.
John walks out the door. Slams it behind him.
Dean sits back in a chair.
DEAN
I can’t explain it, Sammy.
SAM
Explain what?
DEAN
That was our dad. I don’t know how,
I don’t know how, but that was him.
Sam picks the keys up off the table.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Where are you going?
SAM
Graveyard. Ya coming?
Sam exits the room. Dean grabs a jacket, follows behind.
EXT. WALLACE INN
Sam jumps into the Impala drivers seat. Dean climbs in the
passenger seat.
SAM
There is only one problem there,
Dean.
DEAN
And what would that be?
SAM
How long have we been hunting?
DEAN
Uh. What?
SAM
Humor me, Dean.
DEAN
All our lives.
SAM
And have you ever seen a demon
being wasted by salting and burning
their bones?
DEAN
What’s your point?
SAM
“Dad” couldn’t do that. Whoever
killed the demon would have to be
in the room with the demon, and
neither one of us were mouthing any
incantations…
DEAN
So you are saying that….
SAM
Demons don’t burst into flames for
no reason, unless something bigger
comes after them.
DEAN
Something bigger as in Lucifer
bigger?
SAM
I’m just saying Dean. What else
could it be?
DEAN
You can’t just accept it, can you?
SAM
It just isn’t….
DEAN
Sam….
SAM
I know, you don’t agree.
EXT. GRAVEYARD
Sam parks the car. Exits.
DEAN
I just wish you would see it,
Sammy.
Sam shakes his head.
They walk through the graveyard.
DEAN (CONT’D)
There it is.
Dean motions towards the grave.
SAM
I tried, Dean. I did.
They stop in front of the grave.
EXT. WALLACE INN
CUT TO:
John sits on a bench across the parking lot. Holds his head
in his hands.
CUT TO:
EXT. WALLACE INN
Sam and Dean park the car, exit. They enter the room.
INT. WALLACE INN
Sam smiles slightly.
Dean drinks his beer.
Sam walks to the window, peaks out.
DEAN
Come on, Sam. Get a move on.
SAM
Yeah.
DEAN
Don’t forget the porn under the
mattress.
Sam shakes his head. Laughs.
DEAN (CONT’D)
Sorry, Sammy.
SAM
It’s ok. We will figure it out in
Wichita.
Dean holds up his beer.
DEAN
To Wichita.
Dean drinks the beer. Sam smiles.
END OF ACT FOUR
EXT. WALLACE INN
John stands outside the motel room window. He watches the
boys. The boys move around, pack their belongings.
John puts his hand on the window, walks around the building.
John’s eyes turn white, he smiles. John disappears into thin
air.
FADE TO BLACK.
