TEASER
INTERIOR – BUNKER – NIGHT
[The Bunker emergency red light is on. Gunshots and screams are heard. A man is flung against the wall, as DEAN comes into view, holding a gun. They fight before DEAN shoots him, and another man behind him. DEAN flings the man against the door and then onto the ground. He falls to the ground as DEAN shoots him again, twice. A sparking sound can be heard. The men are demons.]
[DEAN moves down the hallway, holding his gun in front of him. There are dead bodies on the ground. Another demon appears and fights DEAN. He pushes the demon against the wall and shoots him. The demon falls and dies. DEAN moves around the corner, when a bald man appears and holds DEAN’s gun. He lets the man move behind him, and DEAN taps him on the shoulder. He signals for the man to move down the hallway.]
[DEAN moves around the corner into the next hallway. Another demon approaches DEAN and they fight. DEAN flips him over and rolls, shoots another demon that runs at him, before he turns and shoots the demon he was fighting.]
INTERIOR – BUNKER KITCHEN – NIGHT
[DEAN enters the kitchen, his gun out as he looks around and sees dead bodies everywhere. He turns to the side and sees BENNY sitting upright, injured. He crouches in front of him.]
DEAN
Benny?
BENNY
Dean.
DEAN
Hey.
BENNY
Dean.
DEAN
Hey, you’re gonna be okay.
BENNY
Nah. I’m not. I… I’ll see you on the other side, brother.
DEAN
Benny…
[BENNY’s head lulls forward. He dies.]
DEAN
Benny.
[DEAN gets up and moves towards a man who is still awake. He is a demon. DEAN kicks the demon’s gun away and grabs him by the shirt. He lifts him up and points his gun at him.]
DEAN
Where is he?
DEMON
He’s closer than you think.
DEAN
Where?!
[The demon’s eyes flash to black.]
DEMON
Maybe I’ll tell you. Right before I rip out your…
[DEAN shoots the demon. He sparks out as he dies. DEAN looks back at BENNY’s body.]
INTERIOR – BUNKER WAR ROOM – NIGHT
[There are dead bodies around the room and on the map table. DEAN walks in with his gun pointed. SAM turns the corner. DEAN approaches him as he aims his gun at him.]
SAM
He was right. Closer than you think.
DEAN
Sam?
SAM
You know, I knew you’d come looking for me. After Sioux Falls… I suppose you had to.
DEAN
What you did to them… what you did to Bobby… to Jody…
SAM
They tried to stop me. But I will not be stopped.
DEAN
Sammy, listen to me. This is the demon blood. You have to fight it!
SAM
Why would I do that?
[The bald man from earlier approaches behind SAM. SAM turns his head slightly and the man’s neck snaps as he falls to the ground. SAM looks back at DEAN with an evil smile.]
DEAN
Sammy, please. Please.
[SAM smirks. His eyes flash to black. He cocks his head to the side. Dean’s neck snaps as he falls to the ground. He’s dead.]
INTERIOR – SAM’S BEDROOM – DAY
[SAM jolts awake. He breathes heavily as he sits up in bed. He looks around his room.]
[TITLE CARD]
ACT ONE
INTERIOR – BUNKER KITCHEN – DAY
[DEAN is eating bacon. SAM walks in.]
DEAN
Morning.
SAM
Morning.
DEAN
Rough night?
SAM
Yeah, just, uh… weird dreams.
DEAN
Yeah, been there. Why don’t you eat something? You’ll feel better.
SAM
Dean, you know I don’t eat –
DEAN
It’s veggie bacon.
SAM
What?
DEAN
You’ve been asking for it.
SAM
Yeah. But every time I ask for it, you say, and I’m quoting, “I don’t want any of that hippie, Sarah McLaughlin grass-eater crap in the Meat Man’s kitchen”. Which, by the way, for what it’s worth, you got to stop calling yourself “The Meat Man”. It… it doesn’t mean what you think it means.
DEAN
Yeah, it does. Anyway, it’s not that bad. Give it a shot.
SAM
I’m good.
DEAN
No, you’re not. The past few days, you’ve barely come outta your room. Look, man, I get it, okay? With Jack… and Rowena… Rowena knew what she was getting herself into. She knew what needed to be done.
SAM
Doesn’t make it any easier.
DEAN
No, it doesn’t.
[DEAN looks at SAM and passes him the tablet.]
DEAN
Here. In the last month, Beaverdale, Iowa, has seen more than a half-dozen cattle mutilations.
SAM
So, what, mountain lion, or…
DEAN
Mm. Three days ago, a girl’s body showed up… ripped to pieces. Now, local badges think they’ve got themselves a psycho on their hands, but I mean come on, man, that sounds exactly like our thing. So, let’s go check it out.
SAM
You know, Dean, you can handle this on your own, or… or call up some of the other hunters…
DEAN
No, no. You and me. Sam, we need this.
[DEAN pats SAM on the shoulder and walks out of the kitchen. SAM picks up a piece of bacon and bites into it. He scrunches his face and spits it out.]
SAM
That… that’s real bacon, Dean.
[DEAN appears in the archway of the kitchen and points at him.]
DEAN
You’re damn right it is.
[He points at himself.]
DEAN
Meat Man!
[He walks away.]
EXTERIOR – BEAVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL – DAY
[Students are walking into school.]
MRS BAILEY
Yeah, watch the bikes. Davis, use a crosswalk. Let’s go! Keep it moving!
[She turns to SAM who is wearing his FBI suit.]
SAM
So… our victim…
MRS BAILEY
Susie Martin.
SAM
Yeah.
MRS BAILEY
What happened to her, I can’t even imagine.
SAM
The police said she was last seen here.
MRS BAILEY
After cheer practice.
SAM
And the, uh, security cameras?
MRS BAILEY
Uh, the police checked but nothing.
SAM
Was she close to anyone?
MRS BAILEY
Susie was close to everyone. She was part of the drama club, debate team, cheerleading, campus ministry… you name it.
SAM
Any best friends?
[MRS BAILEY looks behind her and spots a group of girls.]
MRS BAILEY
Mostly Veronica and the girls. They’re putting together a prayer vigil for her.
[HENRY and JANET WHITMAN approach MRS BAILEY.]
JANET WHITMAN
Excuse me, Mrs. Bailey?
MRS BAILEY
Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Whitman, how can I help you?
JANET WHITMAN
Well, it’s just… we heard a rumor that the game is gonna be cancelled this Friday?
MRS BAILEY
Oh, not cancelled, rescheduled… for the service. For Susie.
JANET WHITMAN
Right. And we’re so sorry about what happened to her. I mean, it’s just so, so horrible, but…
[She looks at her husband HENRY WHITMAN.]
HENRY WHITMAN
Uh, we had a scout coming to that game for Billy. From Yale.
SAM
A young lady is dead, and you’re worried about a football game?
JANET WHITMAN
It’s lacrosse. Who are you?
MRS BAILEY
Agent Plant, FBI.
HENRY WHITMAN
Oh.
JANET WHITMAN
It’s just, Yale’s Billy’s first choice, and if he doesn’t get in it’ll be the end of the world.
SAM
Actually, the end of the world is the end of the world.
JANET WHITMAN
Of course.
SAM
Of course.
JANET WHITMAN
But maybe you could have the… the little prayer thing at halftime? Or…
MRS BAILEY
No.
HENRY WHITMAN
Well, is…
MRS BAILEY
No.
JANET WHITMAN
I see. Well… thank you for your time.
[JANET and HENRY WHITMAN glance at SAM before they leave. MRS BAILEY turns back to SAM.]
MRS BAILEY
I swear, the parents are worse than the kids.
EXTERIOR – BEAVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL – DAY
[DEAN leans against the Impala and eats pretzels. SAM walks over to him.]
SAM
Hey. Any luck at the morgue?
[DEAN tosses SAM a small plastic container.]
SAM
Is that a…?
DEAN
Vamp fang.
SAM
Vampires drain their victims. Vamps don’t rip their bodies apart.
DEAN
Apparently this one does. And it gets a little weirder. Coroner said that there were no signs of defensive wounds, so it’s like she didn’t even fight.
SAM
So, whoever killed her, maybe it was someone she knew. And according to the vice principal, she kind of knew everyone.
DEAN
Oh, that’s awesome.
[The Beaverdale Beaver mascot goes back on a scooter.]
DEAN
That’s awesome. Ha!
[DEAN walks around the Impala and gets into the drivers seat.]
You see that beaver?
EXTERIOR – BEAVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL – NIGHT
[TORI walks to her car.]
TORI
I know. Cheer practice was so long, right? I swear, Veronica’s so fake. “I’m lost without Susie. It’s like a piece of my heart is gone”. Gag me.
[She unlocks her car.]
Okay, yeah. Later.
[She hangs up the phone. The bushes nearby rustle as something jumps out at her. She screams.]
ACT TWO
[Exterior shots of the town; the Impala drives down a back road.]
EXTERIOR – FOREST – DAY
[SAM and DEAN kick dirt and sticks around a patch of ground marked off by crime scene tape.]
SAM
So, this is where they found Susie’s body?
DEAN
Yeah, you notice what’s missing?
SAM
Blood.
DEAN
So, how does a freak gut a girl and not make a mess?
SAM
By killing her somewhere else and dumping her here.
DEAN
Looks like.
SAM
Yeah. Great.
DEAN
Well, local police are freaked. Never seen anything like this. They got no idea how to deal.
SAM
Of course not. That’s our job. We keep them from dealing with the truth, with what’s out there, and we carry the weight. It’s great. Meanwhile, they get to go back to living in their white picket fence bubbles.
DEAN
You know, ever since you were a kid, you wanted to live in a town like this. Lame, normal…
SAM
Yeah, we don’t get normal. And these towns, everything’s the end of the world. You’re late for work, your kid doesn’t get into the right school… whatever. They don’t… They have no idea what’s out there.
[SAM’s phone rings. He answers.]
SAM
Vice Principal Bailey? Yes. Really? Of course, uh, on our way.
[He hangs up.]
We got another one.
EXTERIOR – BECKY’S HOME – DAY
[Two kids get into a car. ROD walks behind them.]
ROD
Seat belts, seat belts.
JUNIOR
We know, dad.
[ROD pats his jacket.]
ROD
Got this, got that, got that.
BECKY
You’re forgetting something.
[BECKY approaches ROD.]
BECKY
Motion-sickness pills… for Junior.
ROD
He would’ve been fine, babe. It’s just Lake Michigan. Hardly any chop.
BECKY
Four hours in a boat? Rod, Junior gets seasick in the tub.
ROD
Where would I be without you?
BECKY
Covered in puke.
[BECKY taps on the window.]
Have fun, sweeties!
JUNIOR
Thanks, Mom, we will.
[ROD and BECKY kiss.]
ROD
Wow. Felt that. You can’t wait to have the house to yourself.
BECKY
Oh, you have no idea.
[ROD gets in the car and drives away.]
JUNIOR
Bye, mom!
[BECKY waves as they leave. The car drives away and reveals CHUCK standing across the street. He waves at BECKY. She sees him and runs towards the house. CHUCK runs towards her.]
CHUCK
Becky, wait! Becky, please. Becky, please wait.
BECKY
What are you doing here?
CHUCK
I just… I wanted to… I needed to see you.
BECKY
Well, I don’t want or need to see you.
CHUCK
I’m sorry, I… I know we’re not together anymore, and it seems like you’re doing great. I just – I… I wanted to talk. Catch up. It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
BECKY
That’s not my problem.
[She turns to walk into the house.]
CHUCK
Wait, Becky, please. I don’t have anywhere else to go.
INTERIOR – MRS BAILEY’S OFFICE – DAY
MRS BAILEY
Tori Taylor never came home last night. She was talking to a friend on the phone, in the parking lot, and then… gone.
SAM
What about her vehicle?
MRS BAILEY
It’s still there, which is…
DEAN
Not good.
MRS BAILEY
Her parents are worried sick. They… do you think she and Susie…
SAM
Let’s start with this. The girls, did they have anything in common?
MRS BAILEY
They’re both cheerleaders.
DEAN
Well, somebody’s got a fetish.
MRS BAILEY
Excuse me?
DEAN
I, uh… we’ll look into it.
INTERIOR – BECKY’S HOME – DAY
[CHUCK looks around at Becky’s Supernatural collectibles and merchandise.]
CHUCK
What are these?
BECKY
My maquettes.
CHUCK
You… make them?
BECKY
I run the most successful Etsy site for unofficial “Supernatural” merchandise in the country. Probably the world.
CHUCK
Wow. So you’re still, um…
BECKY
Still what?
[She hands CHUCK a drink.]
CHUCK
Uh, obsessed with my work.
BECKY
You mean my work. Look, what you were writing, it was real… like, really real. You sort of channelled Sam and Dean’s lives because you’re a prophet.
CHUCK
I… Yeah. Yes, I am.
BECKY
And, sure, I got a little obsessed, and it took me to a dark place. What I did to Sam… [shudders] So, after some pretty intensive counselling, I realized I wasn’t in love with the real Sam Winchester. I loved his character. So instead of reading your stories, I kept writing my own.
CHUCK
Your own… “Supernatural”?
BECKY
Where the guys didn’t have to hunt monsters all the time. They just sit around and do laundry and talk, you know? I mean, that’s what people like the most, anyway.
CHUCK
Well, I mean, people like monsters.
BECKY
Meh. Anyway, I got an online following, and it wasn’t paying the bills, so I started making these handcrafted miniatures. They took off, started turning a profit, and here I am.
CHUCK
Right. Right, right, right, right, right. But people like monsters though. They do. I mean, Leviathans are cool. What? They’re all teeth!
BECKY
Anyway, I have the house to myself for the first time in months. This was supposed to be my catch-up day. I have billing to do, orders to fill, three AU Fic deadlines breathing down my neck. So, if you want to talk, talk. Fast.
[BECKY stares CHUCK down.]
CHUCK
Like, there’s… like, they don’t even have lips. They’re just, like, teeth face. Raa!
BECKY
Chuck!
CHUCK
Okay.
BECKY
Now.
CHUCK
Alright. Fine. Alright, so I had a bit of a falling out.
BECKY
With who?
[CHUCK moves into BECKY’s living room. He points to a pair of SAM and DEAN Pop Vinyl Bobble-heads.]
BECKY
The Winchesters?
[He sits down on the couch.]
CHUCK
Things were said. Uh… Now I’ve found msyself low on, um… resources. I went to ask my sister for help, and she rejected me. ‘Cause she sucks. And now I’m just… stuck. So, I thought I’d come see you, my number-one fan. And, I don’t know, see if you can help make me feel big again.
BECKY
So, you want me to… fluff you?
CHUCK
I mean, no.
BECKY
You do. You thought you could just come back to me, your pathetic ex, your number-one fan, and get what you’ve always gotten from me… a nice big crank on your ego.
CHUCK
Well, I mean…
BECKY
Well, sorry, that’s not me anymore, Chuck. I am married to an amazing man, I have two great kids, and I like myself, Chuck. For the first time in a long time, I like myself. So, I don’t need you.
CHUCK
I know. You don’t need me. No one does. I’m happy for you, Becky, that you like yourself. Because… I kind of hate me right now.
BECKY
Really?
CHUCK
Yeah, I just don’t know what I’m doing. I feel so lost.
[BECKY sits down on the couch in front of CHUCK.]
BECKY
Okay. Well… what makes you happy?
CHUCK
Writing. Creating.
BECKY
Then, Chuck, you have to write.
EXTERIOR – BEAVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL – DAY
[DEAN eats a hotdog as he talks to the Beaver mascot, TOBY.]
DEAN
Really? You’re sure?
[TOBY nods.]
DEAN
Okay, alright. Thanks, Toby. Appreciate it.
[TOBY rolls away on his scooter. SAM walks over to DEAN.]
SAM
Seriously? We’re questioning mascots now?
DEAN
Smart kid. He’s actually got a full ride to IU. Don’t underestimate the mascot, man. The guy’s got access. He knows a lot about cheerleaders. In a mostly non-creepy kind of way. Anyway, so, turns out Susie was in charge. Then with her gone, Tori was set to take over, except…
SAM
Not anymore.
DEAN
Yeah.
SAM
Okay. So, who’s third in line to the throne?
DEAN
Mm. Not the mascot, but he knows.
INTERIOR – SCHOOL GYM – DAY
[There are several photos of Susie. VERONICA hands BILLY a wrist band that says “SUSIE FOREVER” on it.]
BILLY
I can’t believe she’s really…
VERONICA
I know. It’s just… It’s like a piece of my heart is gone. Billy, I know you and Susie were close, but if there’s anything you need…
BILLY
I…
JANET
Billy!
[BILLY turns to see JANET WHITMAN standing in the gym. BILLY turns back to VERONICA.]
BILLY
I have to go.
VERONICA
Yeah.
[BILLY walks over to his mom, JANET. They leave the gym. VERONICA walks over to a podium in front of rows of empty seats.]
VERONICA
We are here to celebrate the life of my friend, Susie… No. We are here to celebrate the life of my best friend, Susie… my best friend, Susie, who I miss like… like she was a part of me. And in many ways, she is still a part me. She’ll always be a part of all of us. Susie Martin was as rare as a ghost orchid, and as unique as a snowflake. So beautiful inside and out. But as Robert Frost tell us, “nothing gold can stay”. And that’s what Susie was… pure gold.
[DEAN slow claps sarcastically as he and SAM approach VERONICA.]
DEAN
That’s good stuff. Especially the part about the snowflake, and uh, getting choked up. I mean, if you’re gonna milk it, really get in there and squeeze, you know?
VERONICA
I’m sorry. Who are you?
SAM
FBI. We’re here about Susie.
VERONICA
Uh, you mean about who killed her?
DEAN
Yeah. Yeah, now that’s gone and then Tori, really kind of worked out for you, didn’t it?
[SAM holds a needle full of Dead Man’s blood behind his back.]
SAM
We should talk. Outside.
VERONICA
Um, I… I think I should go.
SAM
Wait, wait, wait. Veronica… do you have braces?
[She looks at them strangely.]
VERONICA
Yeah. So?
EXTERIOR – BEAVERDALE HIGH SCHOOL – DAY
[SAM and DEAN exit the school.]
DEAN
Friggin’ braces?
SAM
Kinda makes it impossible to fang out.
DEAN
Alright, so if she’s not our vamp, then who is?
[SAM looks around and sees a security camera.]
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – DAY
[BILLY and JANET are in the kitchen.]
JANET
You weren’t out front. I had to find you.
BILLY
It was embarrassing, Mom. I just wanted to help. Susie would’ve wanted…
JANET
No. We do not say her name. Would you talk to your son, please?
[HENRY enters the kitchen and starts to wash his hands in the sink.]
HENRY
Just listen to your mother.
[BILLY and JANET look at each other before he walks away.]
JANET
Really? I need wine.
[HENRY washes his hands in the sink. Blood washes off his hands and down the drain.]
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOUSE GARAGE – DAY
[A girl is lying on a cot, tied up, gagged and blindfolded. It’s TORI. She whimpers and screams.]
ACT THREE
INTERIOR – BECKY’S HOME – DAY
[CHUCK shakes his glass around.]
CHUCK
You have anything stronger?
BECKY
We have cran-apple juice.
CHUCK
Hmm. I’m good. It’s just, things are different now, Becky. I mean, I used to be able to see Sam and Dean in my head, wherever they were, whatever they were doing. It was all just there, ripe for the picking. And now it’s just gone.
BECKY
Because you lost your prophet powers?
CHUCK
Yeah. Something like that.
BECKY
Then write about something else.
CHUCK
But this is it. I mean, this is my favorite story.
BECKY
Then write about them.
[CHUCK stands up as does BECKY.]
CHUCK
I-I… okay. I feel like we’re going in circles now.
BECKY
No, you’re going in circles. You’re a writer, a writer who’s not writing. And when a writer’s not writing, they feel sad, and they get lost. And the writer asks themselves, “why do I feel this way?”, “why am I so sad and lost?”. And what does all this navel-gazing and hair-pulling amount to in the end? Procrastination. Distraction. Just one of a million ways the writer avoids doing the one thing that is all but guaranteed to make the writer feel better. Which is…?
CHUCK
Writing. But what if I can’t?
BECKY
You can. The only question is, will you?
CHUCK
How’d you learn all this?
BECKY
I’m a writer, too, Chuck.
CHUCK
Oh. I mean, fanfic… it’s not really the same thing…
BECKY
Writing’s writing. The self-sabotage, the doubts, the struggle against time. So, whenever I have a spare minute, I write.
[BECKY and CHUCK stare at each other.]
CHUCK
Yeah. Yeah!
[CHUCK runs out of the living room to BECKY’s office. He sits at the desk and in front of the open laptop.]
BECKY
Wait! I didn’t mean right now…
[CHUCK puts on his glasses and holds a finger up to BECKY.]
CHUCK
Shh, shh, shh!
[CHUCK starts typing.]
INTERIOR – MRS BAILEY’S OFFICE – DAY
[SAM, DEAN and MRS BAILEY are watching security footage from the parking lot.]
MRS BAILEY
This is the security footage from last night.
SAM
Do we have any idea who that might be?
[The footage shows TORI get grabbed.]
MRS BAILEY
No clue. He’s wearing a mask.
DEAN
Well, crap.
[The footage shows a car drive past.]
SAM
Wait a second. Go back.
[MRS BAILEY rewinds and stops the footage on the car.]
SAM
Uh, zoom into that.
[She zooms in on the licence plate.]
DEAN
You got it?
SAM
Yeah.
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[JANET stands in the kitchen; BILLY sits at the counter and HENRY sits at the table behind him.]
BILLY
You’re worried about the game? I mean, this is insane!
JANET
This is what we’ve worked for, what we’ve sacrificed so much for.
BILLY
Well, I never asked you to.
JANET
We’re your parents. You don’t need to ask. Everything that we have done has been for you. We just want you to be happy.
[JANET cries as she leaves the kitchen.]
HENRY
Son, we’re trying our best. W-What do you want from us?
BILLY
Listen to what I’m saying… I don’t want anything. I never wanted any of this! That’s the point!
[The doorbell rings. BILLY walks to the front door and opens it to reveal SAM and DEAN on the other side.]
SAM
Hi.
DEAN
Your dad home?
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME GARAGE – NIGHT
[TORI continues to whimper and struggle.]
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[BILLY walks into the living room. SAM and DEAN follow him.]
BILLY
Uh, dad?
[HENRY stands up and walks towards them.]
HENRY
Billy, get upstairs. Now.
[BILLY leaves the room. HENRY looks between SAM and DEAN.]
DEAN
Good thinking. You don’t want the kid to see this part.
HENRY
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
SAM
Yeah, sure you do. Those girls that went missing… that was you.
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME GARAGE – NIGHT
[TORI continues to struggle.]
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[SAM hears a noise.]
SAM
On it.
[SAM leaves and heads for the garage.]
HENRY
Look, arrest me. Fine. Just… just please leave my family out of it.
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME GARAGE – NIGHT
[SAM enters the garage and flicks on the lights. He sees TORI lying on the cot.]
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[DEAN stands in front of HENRY.]
DEAN
Arrest you?
[He takes out a machete from behind his back.]
DEAN
No, see? We’re not FBI.
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME GARAGE – NIGHT
[SAM crouches down in front of TORI.]
SAM
Shh. I’m here to help, okay? Just hang in there. Hang in there.
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[DEAN walks towards HENRY with the machete pointed at him.]
DEAN
And we know exactly what you are.
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME GARAGE – NIGHT
[SAM spots a blood bag and tube attached to TORI.]
SAM
I’m gonna get you out of here, okay? I got you.
[SAM picks her up and cradles her in his arms. A gun cocks. SAM turns to the entrance and sees JANET pointing a gun at him.]
JANET
You shouldn’t be here.
ACT FOUR
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[DEAN stands in front of HENRY.]
DEAN
Sammy, how’s it going back there?!
[SAM walks in as he carries TORI. JANET follows them, pointing her gun.]
DEAN
Okay. Was not expecting that. How’s she doing?
[SAM lays TORI on the couch.]
SAM
Not good. She’s lost a lot of blood. She needs a doctor.
HENRY
Janet, what are you doing?
JANET
I’m saving this family.
HENRY
No. Listen. It’s over, okay? They… they caught me. You just need to get Billy and leave. Please.
[She points her gun at SAM and DEAN.]
INTERIOR – BECKY’S HOME – NIGHT
[BECKY sits in front of the laptop, reading. CHUCK stands in front of the desk.]
CHUCK
Well?
BECKY
It’s so good! You did it. Congratulations!
[She stands up at the desk.]
CHUCK
Yeah? I mean, the story…
BECKY
I loved it. In fact, I’m feeling so inspired, I would love to just jump in and get back to my own work.
CHUCK
No, no, no, you’re shining me on.
BECKY
What? No, I’m not…
CHUCK
It’s a rough draft, Becky. You’ve gotta have some notes.
[BECKY shakes her head.]
CHUCK
Just, like, one note.
[She sits down again.]
BECKY
Okay. If I had to give one note… the jeopardy, Chuck. It’s feeling a little… thin? Low stakes? It’s fun to hear the boys’ voices, but a story is only as good as its villain, and these villains are just not feeling very… dangerous? Not to mention, there’s no classic rock. No one even mentions Cas. The climax is a little stale. Boys tied up again while we get the villain’s monologue, which, frankly, isn’t one of your best. A little originality wouldn’t…
[She looks up at him and gets scared. CHUCK scowls at her.
BECKY
… hurt.
CHUCK
You want jeopardy? You want danger?
[CHUCK moves around the desk.]
CHUCK
Move!
[BECKY gets up from the chair and he sits down. He starts typing.]
CHUCK
I’ll give you danger.
BECKY
Chuck? Chuck? Chuck!
[CHUCK continues to type.]
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
[JANET still points the gun at SAM and DEAN. BILLY comes down the stairs.]
BILLY
Dad, what’s going… on…
DEAN
Your dad’s a vampire. That’s what’s going on.
[BILLY and HENRY look at each other. DEAN looks at HENRY.]
DEAN
Let me guess… few weeks ago, maybe a month, you had a run-in with something big and mean. It turned you. You thought you could deal. But the cow’s blood or whatever just wasn’t cutting it, so you upgraded to humans. How am I doing? Am I right?
[SAM looks at BILLY.]
SAM
No, I don’t think you’re right, Dean. It’s not the dad, it’s the son.
JANET
Shut your mouth!
BILLY
Mom.
HENRY
Billy, go!
BILLY
No. You’re right, about all of it. Okay? But what happened with Susie, I didn’t…
We were together.
[They lean in and kiss.]
We were kissing. I could hear her heart.
[BILLY bites SUSIE’s neck.]
And her blood, and she…
INTERIOR – WHITMAN HOME – NIGHT
BILLY
It just tasted so good, I just…
[Flashback to BILLY’s fangs extending, he jumps at Susie. She screams.]
I couldn’t stop.
SAM
Then what?
BILLY
I told my mom and dad.
DEAN
So, you what? Chopped up the body? Made it look like some wannabe Bundy?
SAM
And then grabbed Tori and… and kept her as his own personal blood bag?
[Flashbacks to TORI being grabbed and in the garage.]
SAM
Awesome parenting. Awesome.
HENRY
This is not Billy’s fault. He was the victim. What were we supposed to do?
DEAN
You were gonna let me just cut off your head.
HENRY
You don’t have children, do you? Because if you did, you would know, that to see your child in pain rips your heart out. And you’d know that you’d do anything. You’d die for them.
JANET
Or kill for them.
[She points her gun at SAM and DEAN again.]
BILLY
Mom, no.
JANET
We can bury them out back, under the peonies. Everything is going to be fine.
SAM
There’s no way you believe that.
[JANET looks between SAM and DEAN. BILLY reaches for her gun.]
BILLY
Mom. Stop.
[He lowers her hand and the gun to the kitchen counter.]
JANET
We just wanted him to have a normal life.
BILLY
Mom, I can’t. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. I can’t. I killed someone that I loved, and I’ll do it again. I know I will. I can’t control this!
[Flashback to BILLY and VERONICA in the gym.]
I’m a monster.
[Everyone looks at BILLY.]
BILLY
So, here’s what’s gonna happen. You’re gonna take Tori to the hospital, and you’re gonna tell them that I kidnapped her.
JANET
What? No.
BILLY
Dad said he was wearing a mask when he grabbed her. Tori won’t know. You tell them I took her… and I ran away.
HENRY
Billy. Don’t do this.
[BILLY turns to SAM and DEAN.]
BILLY
Then you and me… we’re gonna go for a ride. That’s how this works… right?
[SAM looks between HENRY and JANET. BILLY turns to JANET.]
BILLY
I’m sorry, Mom. But this is the best way. This is the only way.
[JANET cries as she hugs BILLY.]
[A montage of sequences: the Impala drives down the road. DEAN and SAM stand in a forest, BILLY kneels in front of them. Police arrive at the Whitman home. TORI is carried out on a stretcher. JANET and HENRY talk to the police. She shows the officer a picture of BILLY. DEAN stands behind BILLY in the forest. He lifts the machete and swings.]
ACT FIVE
INTERIOR – BECKY’S HOME – NIGHT
[CHUCK smiles. His back is to BECKY, who sits in front of the laptop. She is upset.]
BECKY
No. You can’t.
CHUCK
I did.
BECKY
Y… this is just an ending.
CHUCK
Yeah. I don’t know how I’m gonna get there, but I know where I’m goin’.
BECKY
B-But it’s so…dark.
CHUCK
But great, right? I can see it now… “Supernatural: The End”. And the cover is just a gravestone that says “Winchester”. The fans are gonna love it. Well?
BECKY
It’s awful! Horrible. It’s hopeless.
[BECKY gets up from the chair and walks around the desk to CHUCK.]
BECKY
You can’t do this to the fans. What you did to Dean? What you did to Sam?
CHUCK
There, see? It’s making you feel something. That’s good, right?
BECKY
No!
[The front door opens. ROD and the kids are back.]
ROD
Babe! We’re home! Babe!
[BECKY walks but turns to CHUCK.]
BECKY
You have to leave.
CHUCK
Nah, I kinda like it here.
[ROD enters the living room.]
ROD
Babe, you wouldn’t believe what happened.
[BECKY looks at CHUCK.]
BECKY
Please.
ROD
Junior was fine, but I puked everywhere.
[ROD walks in and sees CHUCK. He looks at BECKY, confused.]
ROD
Babe?
CHUCK
Hey.
[CHUCK snaps his fingers. ROD disappears in a puff of dust.]
BECKY
Rod?! What happened? Where is he?
CHUCK
He’s gone.
BECKY
What?!
[ROD JR. enters.]
ROD JR.
Hey, mom! We’re back! Dad got sick! He threw up all over the side –
[CHUCK snaps his fingers again. The kids disappear.]
BECKY
No! The kids.
CHUCK
Oh, don’t worry. They’re not dead. They’re just away.
[BECKY turns back to CHUCK.]
CHUCK
Oh, yeah. I’m God.
[BECKY looks horrified.]
BECKY
What are you… No. You bring them back. You bring them back!
[CHUCK smiles.]
BECKY
Please… you can’t do this.
CHUCK
Oh, Becky. I can do anything.
[CHUCK steps closer to BECKY. He snaps his fingers. She disappears in a puff of dust.]
CHUCK
I’m writer.
[CHUCK grins.]
INTERIOR – IMPALA – NIGHT
[DEAN and SAM drive down the road.]
DEAN
Well, that was an interesting one.
SAM
Yeah. What Henry did… we’d have done the same thing. For Jack. If we had the chance.
DEAN
Yeah. Yeah, we would. Look, man, I get it. I get it. We have lost way, way too much. And it’s hard not to feel like just… cashing out. I felt like that. After Chuck, back at the crypt. But you know what brought me back? You did. By sayin’ that what we do still matters. I mean, that’s why I wanted to drag us out here. That’s why I wanted to… to work a case, to save lives, you know? ‘Cause it is… it’s a… it’s crap job. We do the ugly thing so that people can live happy.
SAM
Yeah. Yeah. Lucky them.
DEAN
Yeah, lucky them. But it doesn’t change a thing. You know what I mean? We still do the job. But we don’t do it for us. We do it for Jack, for mom, for Rowena. We owe it to anybody who has ever given a damn about us to keep putting one foot in front of the other. No matter what. And hey, man, like you said, now that Chuck’s gone, we’re finally on our own. We are finally free to… move on, you know?
SAM
I don’t know. Uh… I-I don’t know if I can move on. You know, I-I-I… I can’t forget about any of them. Dean, I still think about Jessica. I… I can’t just let that go.
DEAN
No, man, that’s not what I’m talking about.
SAM
I know, I know, I know. I’m sorry. I know. But… but what I’m saying is that I don’t feel free. What we’ve done, what we’ve lost, right now, that is what I’m feeling, and… and sometimes it’s… it’s like I-I-I can’t even breathe. But maybe tomorrow. You know, maybe I’ll… I’ll feel better in the morning.
DEAN
And what if you don’t?
SAM
I don’t know.
[SAM looks out the Impala window.]
INTERIOR – BECKY’S HOME – NIGHT
[CHUCK sits in front of the laptop, typing furiously.]
CHUCK
Oh, yeah. This is gonna be good.
[The Dean and Sam Pop Vinyl Bobble-heads sit on the table next to him, on top of a black piece of paper with a anti-possession symbol on it. The bobble-heads shake as CHUCK types.]
