[bunniefuu]

2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be

Air Date: 3 May 2007

INT. Impala.

Dean: Yeah?

INT. MOTEL ROOM

Sam: There's a cop car outside.

Dean V.O.

You think it's for us?

Sam: I don't know.

INT Impala

Dean: I don't see how. I mean we ditched the plates, the credit cards.

INT Sam AND Dean's MOTEL ROOM

We see the cop car drive away.

Sam: (breathes out)

They're leaving. False alarm.

Dean

You see. Nothing to worry about.

Sam: Yeah, being fugitives? Freaking dance party.

INT Impala

Dean: Hey man, chicks dig the danger vibe.

INT Sam AND Dean's MOTEL ROOM

We see the books Sam is standing in front of. They're all about a specific demon called Djinn, and on top of them is John's journal, open on the Same subject.

Sam: So, you got anything yet?

INT Impala

Dean: Are you kidding me? How could I? You got me sifting through like 50 square miles of real estate here.

INT MOTEL ROOM

Sam: Well, that's where all the victims disappeared.

INT Impala

Dean: Yeah well, I get at least squat. What about you?

INT MOTEL ROOM

Sam: Just one thing. I'm pretty sure of it now.

(pulls one book closer)

We're hunting a Djinn.

INT Impala

Dean: A freaking genie?

Sam: Yeah.

Dean: What? You think these suckers can really grant wishes?

INT MOTEL ROOM

Sam: I don't know. I guess they're powerful enough. But not exactly like Barbara Eden and the harem pants. I mean, Djinn have been feeding off people for centuries. They're all over the Koran.

INT Impala

Dean: My God. Barbara Eden was hot, wasn't she? Way hotter than that Bewitched chick.

INT MOTEL ROOM

Sam: Are you even listening to me?

INT Impala

Dean: Yeah. So uh, what do the Djinns lair at?

INT MOTEL ROOM

Sam: Ruins usually. Uh. Bigger the better, more places to hide.

INT Impala

Dean: Yeah, I think I saw a place couple miles back. I'm gonna go check it out.

INT Sam AND Dean's MOTEL ROOM

Sam: No, no, no, no. Come pick me up first.

INT Impala

Dean: No. I'm sure it's nothing. I just wanna take a look around.

He hangs up the phone.

INT MOTEL ROOM

Sam lowers his hand with the phone in it and sighs.

EXT FACTORY

We see the Impala pull up and almost come to a stop.

INT FACTORY

We see that it's empty. Dean looks back and forth in it a few times, and then starts walking back the Same direction he came from but this time in the hall. On his right among all the old things and such we see how he passes the figure, which can now be concluded is a DJINN. Dean doesn't see it and walks on. Suddenly it att*cks him, pinning him against the window wall. He drops the flashlight and the DJINN hold his other hand that contains the Kn*fe up against the wall, slams it a few times and Dean drops the Kn*fe. The DJINN opens its left hand and it begins to glow in blue, his eyes do the Same. It puts its glowing hand on Dean's forehead and Dean's eyes rolls up as they become washed-out blue.

END Teaser

INT BEDROOM - NIGHT

A TV showing an old black and white movie. Dean wakes up and sees a woman lying next to him.

INT APARTMENT - NIGHT

Sam: Dean?

Dean: Sam?

Sam: What's going on?

Dean: I don't know. I don't know where I am.

Sam: What? What happened?

Dean: The uh, the Djinn. It att*cked me.

Sam: The gin? You're... drinking gin?

Dean: No, asshat. The Djinn. The uh, scary creature. Remember? It put its hand on me and I woke up next to some hot chick...

Sam: Who? Carmen?

Dean: Who?

Sam: Dean, you're drunk. You're drunk-dialing me.

Dean: I'm not drunk. Quit screwing around!

Sam: Look, it's late. Alright, just get some sleep and I'll... see you tomorrow. OK?

Dean: Wait, Sam! Sam!

INT LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Dean picks up an envelope addressed to: CARMEN PORTER

53 BARKER AVE

LAWRENCE, KS

66044

Dean: Lawrence?

The next two envelopes are addressed to Dean, Same address as Carmen's.

Dean

What the hell?

CARMEN

Honey? What are you doing up?

Dean: Hey. Carmen. Carmen, uh, I just uh...

CARMEN

Aw, you can't sleep, huh?

Dean: Yeah.

CARMEN

Well, why don't you come back to bed and let's see if I can do anything to help.

Dean: Sure. Yeah. In a minute. You - you go ahead.

CARMEN

(smiling)

OK. Don't stay up too long.

Dean: No.

Dean picks up a photo. He looks shocked, and drops it.

EXT THE Winchester HOUSE - NIGHT

Dean drives up in the Impala across the street. He shuts off the engine and goes over and we see that it's the old Winchester house from his childhood.

CUT TO: Dean banging on the door. He rings the bell two times as well. The porch light turns on and the door opens.

Mary

Dean.

Dean just stares at her a few seconds, not believing his eyes. His voice is broken when he talks to her, on the verge of crying.

Dean: Mom?

Mary

What are you doing here? Are you alright?

Dean: I don't know.

Mary

Well... come inside.

INT Winchester HOUSE - NIGHT

Dean comes in and Mary closes the door. He can't take his eyes of her.

Mary (cont'd)

Carmen just called and said you just took off all of a sudden.

Dean: Carmen? Right... Let me ask you a question. When I was a kid, what did you always tell me when you put me to bed?

Mary

Dean, I don't understand -

Dean: (hard)

Just answer the question.

Mary

I told you angels are watching over you.

Dean: I don't believe it.

He walks over and hugs her real tight.

Mary

Honey, you're scaring me.

(Dean backs off)

Now just tell me what's going on.

Dean: You don't think that wishes can, can really...

Mary

What?

Dean: Forget it.

(He hugs her again)

I get it. I'm just uh... I'm happy to see you, that's all.

He almost starts crying but pulls it together and releases the hug, looking down on Mary.

Dean (cont'd)

You're beautiful.

(laughs a little)

Mary

(smiling)

What?

Dean: Hey, when I was uh... When I was young was there ever a fire here?

(walking towards the wall, looking at the books and pictures)

Mary

No. Never.

Dean: I thought there was.

We see a picture of John and Mary smiling with Dean and Sam as little kids in front of them.

Dean (cont'd)

I guess I was wrong.

We see another picture of Dean in a cap, looking cool into the camera. Another picture of Dean and his prom date, clearly taken at prom. Another of Sam as a graduate. Dean picks up another picture. It's in black and white and shows John, dressed in baseball clothes with a cap and a baseball bat in his hand, ready to swing, smiling at the camera.

Dean: (to himself)

Dad's on a softball team.

(he turns around, Mary looking at his serious)

Dad's... Dad's softball team. It's... That's funny to me.

Mary

He loved that stupid team.

Dean: Dad's dead? And the thing that k*lled him was a...

Mary

A stroke. He d*ed in his sleep, you know that.

Dean: That's great.

Mary

Excuse me?

Dean: That - that's great. That he went peacefully, I mean. That... that sure beats the alternative.

Mary

You've been drinking.

Dean: No, I haven't. Mom.

Mary

Just gonna call Carmen and have her come pick you up, OK?

Dean: Wait. No, no!

He puts his hand over Mary's which is over the phone about to pick it up.

Dean (cont'd)

Don't - don't do that. Don't do that. I wanna stay here.

Mary

Why?

Dean: Because I-I miss the place. It's OK, you - you go to bed. OK?

He goes over to the couch, sits down and looks around a bit. Mary walks up to him, strokes his face.

Mary

Are you sure you're alright?

Dean: I think so.

Mary

OK.

She bends down and kisses his forehead, like all mothers do. She starts out the room, stops by the door.

Mary (cont'd)

Get some rest. I love you.

Dean: Me too.

She smiles and then goes to bed. Dean stays on the couch, looking perplexed. We see a picture of Sam as a graduate with Mary and John smiling proudly next to him.

INT Winchester HOUSE - DAY

Dean wakes up on the couch to the sound of birds singing outside. When his eyes focus we see it's on a picture of the whole family, the boys as kids and John is wearing a Santa hat, looking very happy. Dean opens his eyes completely, sitting up, confused. He dials his phone.

Sam's MACHINE V.O

Hey, it's me. I can't come to the pho-

Dean hangs up.

INT PROFESSOR's OFFICE

PROFESSOR

But I don't think I've seen you in my class before.

Dean: You kiddin' me? I love your lectures. You... You make learning fun.

They laugh.

PROFESSOR

So, what can I do for you?

Dean: What can you tell me about Djinns?

CUT TO: Dean and the PROFESSOR standing over a bunch of books.

PROFESSOR

A lot of Muslims believed the Djinn are very real. They're mentioned in the Koran.

Dean: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Get to the wish part.

PROFESSOR

What about it?

Dean: Do you think they could really do it?

PROFESSOR

Um... Uh, no. No, I don't think they can really do it. You understand these are mythic creatures?

Dean: Yeah, I know. I-I-I know. I know. But uh... I mean in the stories. You know. Say you had a wish uh. But you never even said it out loud. You know, like that ah... that a loved one never d*ed. Or that ah, something awful never happened.

PROFESSOR

Supposedly, yes. I mean they have Godlike power. They can alter reality however they want. Past. Present. Future.

Dean: Why would the Djinn do it? It was self-defense? Or maybe it's not really evil.

PROFESSOR

Son?

Dean: Hm?

PROFESSOR

You been drinking?

Dean: Everybody keeps asking me that. But uh... No.

EXT THE CAMPUS

Dean opens the trunk to the Impala and we see only old magazines and paper cups and a rag in there, no g*ns or what have you.

Dean: (laughs)

Who'd a thought, baby. We're civilians.

He closes the trunk, and looks over at the building. We see a girl standing in a white shirt, skirt and shoes, staring at him. Dean looks at her for a little while and then starts to cross the street, walking towards her. Suddenly a car screeches to a halt as it avoids running into Dean. The driver hits the horn and Dean holds out his hand as he looks at the car. When he turns back towards the girl to start walking to her again, she's gone.

INT Winchester HOUSE

Dean takes a bite out of a big sandwich, grunting 'cause of the goodness.

Dean: (calling out, mouth full)

This is the best sandwich, ever!

Mary

Thank you.

Dean: (still calling)

I tried to get hold of Sam earlier. Where - where - where is he?

Mary

Oh. He'll be here soon.

Dean: Good. Dying to see him.

Mary

Sweetie, I... Don't get me wrong. I am thrilled you are... hanging out here... all of a sudden.

(she quickly strokes Dean's chin)

But uh... shouldn't you be at work?

Dean: Work?

Mary

At the garage.

Dean: Right. The garage. It's where I work, yeah. No, I-I've got the day off.

(snickers)

Good thing.

He takes another bite, again with the grunting of goodness. He looks to the window.

CUT TO: Dean looking out the window.

Dean: That lawn looks like it could use some mowing.

Mary

You wanna mow the lawn?

Dean: You kidding? I'd love to mow the law.

Mary

Knock yourself out. Could think you never mowed a lawn in your life.

Dean looks all kinds of happy about this.

EXT Winchester HOUSE

Dean starts the lawnmower. He starts to mow the lawn, looking really happy, enjoying it. He sees the neighbor across the street putting out the garbage. He waves to him like a regular guy does in this regular world. He waves back and then Dean continues the mowing.

CUT TO: Dean sitting on the steps to the front porch, drinking a beer, feeling happy about his work on the lawn. A car drives up outside the yard.

Dean: I don't believe it

He gets up to go greet Sam and JessICA who are getting out of the car. Dean att*cks JessICA with a hug while Sam takes out the luggage from the trunk.

Dean: Jessica.

JessICA

You're, uh... Good to see you too, Dean.

(Dean laughs)

Can't breathe.

(he lets go)

Dean: Sammy.

Sam: Hey.

Dean: (smiling big)

Look at you. You're with Jessica, it's - I don't believe it.

(laughs)

Sam: Yeah.

Dean: Where'd you guys come from?

Sam: We just flew in from... Califor–

Dean: California! Stanford. Huh? Law school, I bet.

Sam: (motioning to the beer in Dean's hand)

I see you started off Mom's birthday with a bang as usual

Dean: Wait. Mom's birthday, that's today?

Sam: Yeah. Yeah, Dean. That's today. That's why we're here. Don't tell me you forgot.

Dean: Wha...

INT RESTAURANT

They're all sitting at a round table. Dean gets served a plate.

Dean: Wow, that... looks awesome.

Sam: Alright. To Mom.

(raises glass)

Happy birthday.

JessICA

Happy birthday.

Mary

Thank you.

They all clink their glasses in a cheer.

Dean: To mom.

As Dean watches, Sam and JessICA kiss. He smiles.

CARMEN

(to Dean)

I was really worried about you last night.

Dean: Oh I'm... I'm good. I'm really good.

CARMEN

OK. What do you say, later we get you a cheeseburger?

Dean: Oh God, yes.

(she smiles)

How did I end up with such a cool chick?

CARMEN

Just got low standards.

He laughs and kisses her.

Sam: Alright. Jess and I actually have another surprise for mom's birthday. Ah... You wanna tell 'em?

JessICA

They're your family.

Sam: Alright.

Mary

(smiling)

What? Tell me what?

Sam hold up JessICA's left hand and we see an engagement ring on her finger. Mary laughs happily.

Mary

(happy)

Oh my God! That's so wonderful.

She gets up and hugs JessICA, who's also gotten up. We see Sam and CARMEN getting up as well, while Dean still sits.

CARMEN

(to JessICA)

Congratulations.

JessICA

Thank you.

CARMEN

Congratulations.

Sam: Thank you.

Mary walks over and hugs Sam.

Mary

I just wish your dad was here.

Sam: Yeah. Me too.

Mary

Jessica, let me see that ring.

Dean: Congratulations Sammy.

Sam: Thanks.

Dean: I'm really glad you're happy.

We see over Sam's shoulder, the girl who Dean saw on campus earlier, when he was almost hit by a car. She looks much filthier this time. Dean sees her, brushes past Sam and walks over. Sam turns around when Dean hits his shoulder while passing by. Dean passes a lot of people and when he passes the last one, the girl is gone.

Dean turns around and looks at his family, as they stand looking at him, wondering what's up.

INT Winchester HOUSE

We hear the door open as the start with the camera on a picture of John holding a very very big fish in his hands, looking happy. The women laugh as they enter.

Sam: So, Dean, what was uh... what was all that back at the restaurant?

Dean: Ah... I-I thought I saw someone. Sure it's nothing.

Mary

Well, I had a lovely birthday. Thank you. Good night.

JessICA and CARMEN

Good night.

Dean: Good night.

Sam: Night, Mom.

(to the others)

Yeah, well I'm b*at.

(to JessICA)

Ready to turn in?

JessICA

Sure.

Sam: Alright. Good night guys.

Dean: Wait a second. Wait a second. Come on, it's not even nine o'clock yet. Let's uh... Let's go have a drink or something.

Sam: Yeah, maybe another time.

Dean: Come on, man. Look at us. Huh? We both have beautiful women on our arms. You're engaged. Let's go celebrate.

Sam: (to JessICA and CARMEN)

Guys, can you excuse us? I just want to talk to my brother for a sec.

JessICA

Sure.

Sam: Thanks.

JessICA

Come on, Carmen.

The girls leave the room and Sam turns to Dean.

Sam: Come here.

(he walks to the other side of the living room)

Dean: What?

(follows)

Sam: OK. What's gotten into you?

Dean: What do you mean?

Sam: I mean this whole warm, fuzzy ecstasy trip thing.

Dean: I'm just happy for you, Sammy.

Sam: Yeah, right. That's another thing. Since when do you call me Sammy?

(b*at)

Dean, come on. We don't talk outside of holidays.

Dean: We don't? Well, we should. I mean, you're my brother.

Sam: "You're my brother"?

Dean: (laughing)

Yeah.

Sam: You know, that's what you said when you snaked my ATM card, or when you bailed on my graduation, or when you hooked up with Rachel Nave.

Dean: Who?

Sam: Uh, my prom date. On prom night.

Dean: Yeah, that does kinda sound like me. Whoa, hey man, I'm sorry about all that.

(walks towards Sam)

Sam: (backs away)

No that, look, that's alright man, I-I just... You know I'm not asking you to change. I-I just I... I don't know, I... guess we just don't really have anything in common. You know?

Sam starts to walk away.

Dean: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yes we do. Yes we do.

(laughs)

Sam: What?

Dean: Hunting.

Sam: Hunting? I've never been hunting in my life, Dean.

Dean: Yeah, well. We should go at it sometime. I... I think you'd be great at it.

Sam starts to walk away again.

Sam: (turns around)

Get some rest.

He walks away and leaves Dean in the living room.

INT Dean's LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Dean is sitting on the sofa, thinking, furrowed brow. CARMEN offers him a beer.

Dean: My favorite. I guess you know me pretty well.

CARMEN

'Fraid so. You alright?

Dean: Sammy and I... You know we don't get along.

CARMEN

Well, you don't spend a lot of time together. I mean, I just think you don't know each other all that well.

Dean: Hm.

CARMEN

For the record: He doesn't know what he's missing.

Dean: I can fix things with Sam. I can make it up to him. To everyone.

CARMEN

Ok. What's gotten into you lately?

Dean: This isn't gonna make a lick of sense to you. But I kind of feel like I've been given a second chance. And I don't wanna waste it.

CARMEN

You're right, that doesn't make any sense.

Dean leans in and kisses her.

Dean: You know, I get it.

CARMEN

Get what?

Dean: Why you're the one.

CARMEN

Well.

(he kisses her again)

Whatever's gotten into you... I like it.

(they begin to kiss)

Ohhh... come on. Don't do this to me now. I've gotta get ready for work.

(gets off the couch, leaving Dean sitting with his hands as if she was still between them)

Dean: Go to work now?

CARMEN

Yeah, I told you. I've got the night shifts on Thursday.

Dean: (getting up)

You work nights at the, uh...

INT Dean's BEDROOM

CARMEN is standing by the closet, taking out scrubs. Dean stands in the doorway.

Dean (cont'd)

…hospital.

(to himself)

I'm dating a nurse. That is so... respectable.

CARMEN smiles at his words. Dean looks at her... well butt probably, and takes a sip of beer.

INT Dean's LIVING ROOM

Dean is on the couch, putting his feet on the table, drinking beer and watching TV.

Woman: The olive-oil must have a purpose here.

Man: Yeah.

Woman: Yeah?

Man: I'll take the olive oil and we'll just put a, just a touch of olive oil, OK? That's all.

Woman: Oh.

Man: Can't make any mistakes with this machine. Now, the liquid. I could use water but I'm gonna use a little spinach -

Dean changed the channel to the stock market, cartoon and then the news. We see a land plane and hear a reporter: Reporter

And today marks the anniversary of the crash of United Britannia Flight 424.

This gets Dean's attention and he leans forward as he continues to watch.

Reporter (cont'd)

Indianapolis residents held a candlelight vigil in memory of the hundred people who lost their lives...

Dean: No, no. I stopped that crash.

CUT TO: CUT TO: Dean in front of his laptop reading headlines that relate to cases he has solved.

INT Dean's BEDROOM

EXT GRAVEYARD NIGHT

Dean is standing by John's grave. We see during the scene that it is written on it: John E. Winchester

1954-2006

LOVING HUSBAND & Father

REMEMBERED FOREVER

Dean: All of them. Everyone that you saved, everyone Sammy and I saved. They're all dead. And there's this woman that's haunting me. I don't know why. I don't know what the connection is, not yet anyway. It's like my old life is coming after me or something. Like it like it doesn't want me to be happy. Course I know what you'd say. Well, not the you that played softball but... So go hunt the Djinn. He put you here, it can put you back. Your happiness for all those people's lives, no contest. Right? But why? Why is it my job to save these people? Why do I have to be some kind of hero?

(begins to cry while talking)

What about us, huh? Mom's not supposed to live her life. Sammy's not supposed to get married. Why do we have to sacrifice everything, dad?

(pause)

It's...

(Silence. We hear the sky rumbling. Tears begins to falls on Dean's cheek.)

Yeah...

He turns around and walks away as the camera goes higher and we see him further and further up from the sky.

INT Winchester HOUSE; Sam AND JessICA's ROOM - NIGHT

We hear a car outside. A dog barks. Then we hear a noise downstairs. Sam wakes.

INT Winchester HOUSE

Sam comes down the stairs, quietly, with a bat in his hand.

INT LIVING ROOM

Sam stops in the doorway, leaning looking into the living room. He sees the window open and under it, someone is in one of the cabinets. Sam goes in, swinging. The person gets up and counterattacks, throwing him on the floor. We see that it's Dean.

Dean: (breathes)

That's was so easy, I'm embarrassed for you.

Sam: Dean? What the hell are you doing here?

Dean gets up, letting Sam get up off the floor. They stand in front of the window � much like the first scene between them in the pilot when Dean breaks into Sam's apartment.

Dean: I was looking for a beer.

Sam: In the china cabinet?

Sam goes to turn on the light and we see the box with their parents silverware on the floor, open.

Sam: That's mom's silver.

Dean: Sam.

Sam: What, you... broke into the house... to steal Mom's silver?

Dean: It's not what it looks like. OK, I didn't have a choice.

Sam: Oh really? Why? What's so damn important you gotta steal from your own mother?

Dean: You want the truth?

Sam: Yeah, yeah I do.

Dean: (shrugs)

I owe somebody money.

Sam: Who?

Dean: A bookie. I lost big on a game, I gotta bring him the cash tonight.

Sam: I can't believe we're even related.

Dean: Sam, I'm sorry.

Sam: (quietly)

Yeah.

Dean: I'm sorry we don't get along. And I wish to hell I could stay and fix it. But I gotta do this. People's lives depend on it.

He turns around and take a Kn*fe from the box.

Sam: What are you talking about, Dean?

Dean: Nothing. Forget it. Just uh... hey, tell Mom I love her.

Sam frowns, seeing that something is up. Dean goes for the door.

Sam: Dean.

Dean: (turns around)

I'll see you, Sammy.

He walks out the door, one last look at Sam. Sam stands in the living room where Dean left him, confused. We hear the Impala's engine start.

EXT Winchester HOUSE; THE Impala - NIGHT

Dean is sitting in the car, engine going, thinking. Suddenly the passenger door opens and Sam gets in the car.

Dean: Get out of the car.

Sam: I'm going with you.

Dean: You're just gonna slow me down.

Sam: Tough.

Dean: This is dangerous and you could get hurt.

Sam: Yeah, and so could you Dean.

Dean: Sam!

Sam: Look, whatever stupid thing you're about to do, you're not doing it alone. And that's that.

Dean: I don't understand. Why you doing this?

Sam: (sighs)

Because you're still my brother.

Dean: Bitch.

Sam: What are you calling me a bitch for?

Dean: You're supposed to say jerk.

Sam: What?

Dean: Never mind.

He puts the Impala in gear and they drive off.

EXT ROAD - NIGHT

The Impala comes down the road towards the camera

CUT TO: The Impala's license plate, which is now RMD 5H2 - Kansas plates. The camera goes up to Sam and Dean.

INT Impala - NIGHT

Sam looks down on a bag on the seat between them.

Sam: What's in the bag?

Dean: Nothin'.

Sam: Nothin'?

Dean: Yeah, nothin'.

Sam: Fine

(grabs the bag and begins to open it)

Dean: You don't wanna do that.

Sam: Oh really?

He takes out what was in the bag. It's a container of blood.

Sam (cont'd)

(looking at the container)

What the hell is this?

Dean: Blood.

Sam: (upset)

Yeah, I can see that it's blood, Dean! What the hell is it doing in here?

Dean: You don't really wanna know.

Sam: No I-I do really wanna know. I really, really, do.

Dean: Yeah, well you're gonna find out sooner or later. I needed a silver Kn*fe dipped in lambs blood.

Sam: You needed a silver Kn*fe dipped in lambs blood, why?

Dean: Because there's this creature. A Djinn. And I have to hunt it.

Sam: OK. Um... stop the car.

Dean: I know how it sounds.

Sam: Great. Just... stop the car.

Dean: It's the truth, Sam. Alright, there are things out there in the dark. There – there – there are bad things. There are nightmare things. And people have to be saved and if we don't save them, then nobody will.

Sam: Look, I wanna help you, alright. I-I really really do, but you're having some kind of psychotic breakdown so... just –

Dean: I wish.

Sam picks up his phone and starts dialing a number. Dean rolls down his window, grabs Sam's phone and throws it out and then rolls it up again.

Sam: What the hell was that, Dean? That was my phone!

Dean: I'm not going to a rubber room, Sammy. And we've got work to do.

Sam: What? I was just trying to help you out, Dean. I don't I don't want you to get yourself hurt.

Dean: What? You protect me?

Sam: Yeah!

Dean: (laughs)

That's hilarious. Why don't you just sit tight and try not to get us both k*lled.

Dean starts the radio and music blares out.

EXT OLD FACTORY BUILDINGS

The Same sh*t of the Impala driving up between the building shows, as we saw in the teaser. The car stops while we still hear the music blaring.

INT Impala

Dean looks over at Sam who is asleep. He picks up his flashlight and shines it on Sam's face. Sam wakes with a start.

Sam: Where are we?

Dean: Well, we're not in Kansas anymore.

(he smiles at Sam. When there's no reaction the smile dies)

Illinois.

Sam: And you think something's in there?

Dean: I know it is.

INT OLD FACTORY BUILDING

We're back in the room with the glass wall to our right. Dean and Sam comes walking in, flashlight in hand.

Sam: See? There's nothing here, Dean.

INT HALLWAY

Dean starts walking down the hallway, Same way as last time when he got att*cked. Sam closely follows behind.

Sam: Look, Carmen's gotta be worried sick about you, Dean. Come on, let- Let's just go.

Dean: Shh!

We hear sounds and Sam finally starts to take it serious.

Sam: What the hell is that?

Dean: Stay behind me and keep your mouth shut.

INT BIG ROOM

Dean and Sam approaches and while the camera moves backwards we see bodies hanging from the ceiling appearing before them. It's the Same bodies Dean saw in his closet earlier.

FLASH TO THE CLOSET

INT BIG ROOM

We see a drained blood bag hanging next to one of the bodies.

Sam: What the hell?

Dean looks further to the right, and we see the woman Dean has been seeing all through the episode, hanging like the bodies. They approach her and we see another blood bag next to her, filled with blood. Her eyes are open and she looks pretty dead. We flash a few times to her in front of the campus building earlier.

Dean: It's her.

Sam looks at the bag and at her writs that are tied, just like the others. She begins to make sounds.

Sam: Dean, what's going on?

Dean: (grabs him)

Shh!

We see what Dean saw: the Djinn is coming out. When it comes out from behind a wall and walks up behind the woman, the guys are gone.

Woman: (sobbing)

Where's my dad? I wonder how...

(looking at the Djinn)

Don't.

(she moves her feet away from the Djinn while we see that Dean and Sam has hidden. She's crying)

Where's my dad.

The DJINN touches her face.

DJINN

Sleep.

We see some blue flares go over her cheek as he strokes her. His eyes glow bright blue.

DJINN (cont'd)

Sleep.

Her head falls forward, eyes still open and her feet relaxes, falling forward again. The DJINN rests his face against her arms, touching her right arm and breathing heavily, eyes closed. He then goes for the blood bag, pulls out one straw and puts it to his mouth, drinking her blood.

Sam sees this and coughs in disgust. The DJINN turns around right away, eyes flash blue and he begins to move towards their hiding place. When he gets there, the guys are gone.

CUT TO: The DJINN walks up some creaky steps and we see Sam and Dean standing below them, looking up, following his steps. When a door closes in the background Sam begins to breath loudly.

Sam: This is real? You're not crazy?

Dean: She didn't know where she was. She thought she was with her father.

CUT TO: Dean and Sam walk up to the woman again.

Dean: What if that's what the Djinn does? It doesn't grant you a wish, it just makes you think it has.

Sam: Look man. That thing could come back, alright?

Dean walks past Sam in the opposite direction of the woman. He looks up at a light bulb and it starts to flicker in brighter light. We begin to get flashes of Dean, hanging like the woman. Dean gets a little trouble breathing, probably shock for starting to realize what's going on.

Sam: Dean, please.

Dean: (breathing heavily)

What if I'm like her? What if I'm tied up here someplace? What if all this is in my head?

(he walks up to the woman)

I mean it could, you know, maybe it gives us some kind of supernatural acid, and then just feeds on us slow.

Sam: No. Dean, that doesn't make sense. OK?

Dean: What if that's why she keeps appearing to me? She's not a spirit. It's - it's like more and more like I'm catching flashes of reality. You know, like I'm in here somewhere. I'm - I'm catatonic, and I'm taking all this stuff in but I, but I can't snap out of it.

Sam: Yeah, OK, look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. I was wrong. You're not crazy but we – we – we need to get out of here. Fast.

He starts to pull Dean with him. Dean pulls his arm loose from Sam. Sam looks at him and throws his arms out like �what?�.

Dean: I don't think you're real.

Sam: (agitated, sucks in a breath)

Dude, you feel that?

(he's grabbing Dean by the arms)

You feel this? I'm real. This is not an acid trip. I'm real, and that thing is gonna come down here and k*ll us for real. No please.

Dean: There's one way to be sure.

(he pulls out the silver Kn*fe)

Sam: (backing off)

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

Dean: It's an old wives' tale. If you're about to die in a dream, you wake up.

Sam: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's crazy. Alright?

Dean: (with a determined look)

Maybe.

Sam: (start walking towards Dean)

You're gonna k*ll yourself-

(Dean holds out the Kn*fe and his other hand to stop him)

OK.

Dean: Or I'm gonna wake up. One or the other.

Sam: OK. This isn't a dream, alright. I'm here, with you, now. And you're about to k*ll yourself, Dean.

Dean: No, I'm pretty sure. Like, 90% sure. But I'm sure enough.

He turns the Kn*fe on himself, takes both his hands to the handle, ready to thrust it into himself.

Sam: WAIT!

Suddenly Mary walks up next to Dean, in the Same nightgown as she d*ed in. Behind Sam, CARMEN appears.

Sam: Why'd you have to keep digging?

Dean looks back at Mary. We see JessICA appearing on his right side.

Sam (cont'd)

Why couldn't you have left well enough alone?

(Dean looks around)

You were happy.

Mary comes up in front of Dean.

Mary

Put the Kn*fe down, honey.

Dean: You're not real.

(tears in his eyes)

None of it is.

Mary

It doesn't matter. It's still better than anything you had.

Dean: What?

Mary

It's everything you want. We're a family again. Let's go home.

Dean: (shaking his head)

I'll die.

(voice breaking)

The Djinn'll... drain the life out of me in a couple of days.

Mary

But in here, with us. It'll feel like years. Like a lifetime.

(Dean looks over at Sam who half-smiles and nods to him)

I promise.

(She takes his chin in her hand, he looks down on her)

No more pain.

(strokes his cheek)

Or fear. Just love and comfort. And safety. Dean, stay with us.

(strokes his other cheek and he leans into her hand, closing his eyes)

Get some rest.

JessICA

You don't have to worry about Sam anymore.

(Dean looks over at her)

You get to watch him live a full life.

Mary steps away, and CARMEN walks up to him, taking his face in her hands, kissing him.

CARMEN

We can have a future together. Have our own family. I love you, Dean. Please.

Sam walks up to him

Sam: "Why is it our job to save everyone? Haven't we done enough?" I'm begging you.

(breathes in)

Give me the Kn*fe.

Dean looks at CARMEN, Sam and Mary with tears in his eyes. Then he backs away looking at the floor. He raises his head, looking at Sam.

Dean: (whisper)

I'm sorry.

He thrusts the Kn*fe into himself, blood immediately comes out of his mouth.

Sam: Dean! Dean! Dean.

Sam walks up to Dean and we see now that the Sam saying "Dean" is the real Sam. Dean is hanging from the ceiling like the other woman, eyes open. A blood bag hangs next to him.

Sam: Oh God. Come on.

(shaking him)

Hey. Wake up. Wake up, damn it!

Dean grunts a little. His eyes begin to focus on Sam.

Sam: Hey. Hey.

Dean: Ahh... Auntie Em. There's no place like home.

Sam: Thank God. Thought I lost you for a second.

(he pulls out the tube in Dean's throat)

Dean: You almost did.

Sam: Oh god.

(breathing heavily)

Let's get you down.

Sam reaches up and starts to cut through the rope as Dean winces over the pain and grunts a little. We see two bright blue eyes next to Sam in the shadows, and the DJINN comes out.

Dean: (seeing the DJINN)

Sam!

Sam turns around, going to the DJINN with the Kn*fe. The DJINN has Sam for a moment, gets him to drop the Kn*fe. Dean tries to pull himself loose where Sam had started cutting through the rope before. The DJINN gets the upper hand on Sam and has him by the throat and moves his hand to his forehead, but Sam has a hold of his wrist, trying to stop him. The DJINN opens his fist and blue light begins to appear around his hand, like it did when it got Dean.

When its hand is almost at Sam's forehead Dean thrusts the Kn*fe into the back of the DJINN, turns it and we see the blue light go out of its eyes. It closes its eyes, its head rolls down and when Dean pulls out the Kn*fe, it falls to the ground dead.

Sam breathes heavily from being strangled and Dean doesn't look too good.

CUT TO: Dean walks up to the girl. We see a tear roll down one cheek. He puts his hand to her neck, feeling for a pulse.

Dean: She's still alive.

(handing the Kn*fe over to Sam)

Sam...

Dean pulls out the tube in her neck as Sam cuts her rope. Dean catches her as she goes down.

Dean: (Sam watches)

I gotcha. I gotcha. We're gonna get you out of here, OK? I gotcha.

(She makes small wheezing sounds)

I got you.

INT Sam AND Dean's MOTEL ROOM

Dean is on the bed.

Sam: (on the phone)

OK, uh, thank you so much for the update. OK, bye.

(he hangs up)

That was the hospital. Girl's been stabilized. Good chance she's gonna pull through.

Dean: That's good.

Sam: Yeah. How 'bout you? You alright?

Dean: (clears throat)

Yeah, I'm alright.

(pause)

Should have seen it, Sam. Our lives. You were such a wozzie.

Sam: (smiles)

So we didn't get along then, huh?

Dean: No.

Sam: Yeah... I thought it was supposed to, to be this perfect fantasy.

Dean: It wasn't.

Was just a wish. I wished for mom to live. That mom never d*ed, we never went hunting and you and me just never uh... You know.

Sam: Yeah. Well, I'm glad we do. And I'm glad you dug yourself out, Dean. Most people wouldn't have the strength, would have just stayed.

Dean: Yeah... Lucky me. I gotta tell you though, man. You know, you had Jess. Mom was gonna have grandkids...

Sam: Yeah, but... Dean... wasn't real.

Dean: I know. But I wanted to stay. I wanted to stay so bad. I mean, ever since Dad... all I can think about is how much this job's cost us. We've lost so much. We've... sacrificed so much.

Sam: But people are alive because of you. It's worth it, Dean. It is. It's not fair, and... you know, it hurts like hell, but... it's worth it.
