Teaser

EXT. PRISON - DAY

INT. PRISON - DAY

KUBRICK is being swiped down with a metal detector, before he enters the prison visitors area. He sits down in front of Gordon WALKER and picks up the two-way phone.

KUBRIK

It's true. A Devil's Gate was opened in Wyoming. Big. St Helen's big.

KUBRIK

There's no solid fix on how many demons got out, but it's in the hundreds. An army.

Gordon: Sam Winchester was there, wasn't he?

KUBRIK

Talked to a guy who knows a guy who knows Bobby Singer, and yeah it looks like the Winchesters were at ground zero when the gate was popped, but Singer said they went in there to stop it.

Gordon: Uh uh, Bobby's edge ain't what it used to be. Sam could have him believing anything by now.

KUBRIK

Listen Gordon, as far as talk goes, Sam Winchester checks out. He's a hunter, that's all.

Gordon: That's all?

KUBRICK nods.

Gordon: (Laughs)

Kubrick, I'm not even sure he's human.

KUBRICK laughs nervously.

Gordon: You think I'm crazy? I told you there was a w*r coming, six months ago. Take a look around. It's here. Now I'm telling you this boy is a part of it. Track him down, Kubrick. You'll come to see it too. Sam Winchester must die.

Gordon hangs up the phone.

ACT ONE

EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

The Impala is travelling along a quiet, dark road. Sam and Dean are arguing.

INT. Impala - NIGHT

Dean: Because Demon, that's why, I mean the second you find out this Ruby chick is a Demon you go for the Holy water, you don't chat!

Sam: No one was chatting, Dean.

Dean: Oh yeah? Then why didn't you send her ass back to Hell?

Sam: Because- Because she said she might be able to help us out.

Dean: How?

Sam pauses.

Dean: No really, Sam, how? How could she possibly help us?

Sam: She told me she could help you, OK?

Dean looks incredulous.

Sam: Help you out of the crossroad deal.

Dean: What is wrong with you, huh? She lying, you gotta know that, don't you? She knows what your weakness is, it's me.

(Pause)

What else did she say?

Sam is silent.

Dean: Dude?

Sam: Nothing.

(Pause)

Nothing, OK?! Look I'm not an idiot Dean, I'm not talking about trusting her, I'm talking about using her. I mean we're at w*r, right? And we don't know jack about the enemy; we don't know where they are, we don't know what they're doing. I mean, Hell, we don't know what they want. Now this Ruby girl knows more than we will ever find out on our own. Now yes, it's a risk, I know that, but we need to take it.

Dean: You're OK right, I mean you're feeling OK?

Sam: Yes I'm fine, Why are you always asking me that?

A phone starts ringing. Sam reaches for his own.

Sam: It's not mine.

Dean goes for his.

Dean: Nope. (Pause) Check the glove compartment, it's Dad's.

Sam: Dad's?

Dean: Yes, I keep it charged up in case any of his old contacts call.

Sam opens the glove compartment, finds John's phone and answers it.

Sam: Hello? Yes... this is Edgar Cayce...

No, no, no, no, don't- don't call the police, I'll handle this myself. Thanks. You know, can you just uh, can you just lock it back up for me? Great. Uhm, I- I uh, I don't have my- my book in front of me,

(gestures to Dean for a pen)

do you- do you have the address so I can...Sure, OK. Go ahead. Right, thanks a lot.

Sam ends the call.

Sam: Dad ever tell you he kept a container at a storage place?

Dean: What?

Sam: Outside of Buffalo?

Dean: No way.

Sam: Yeah. And someone just broke into it.

EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT

EXT. KUBRICK's RV AND CREEDY's PICKUP - DAY

INT. RV - DAY

KUBRICK and fellow Hunter CREEDY are cleaning and checking weapons inside the RV.

CREEDY

So you got no hard evidence on this Sam Winchester guy, you're just working off Gordon's instincts?

KUBRIK

You ever hunt with Gordon?

CREEDY

No. I heard he's good.

KUBRIK

Good?

(Laughs)

He's the best, saved my ass more times than I can count. So if he says Sam Winchester's dangerous, I believe him.

CREEDY

He's gonna be covering his tracks. Won't be easy to find.

KUBRIK

Last I got puts him in Nebraska three weeks back.

CREEDY

Not exactly a fresh lead.

KUBRIK

He ain't invisible, Creedy. Some Hunter out there knows something. So we start calling out contacts. All we need is one break.

KUBRICK gets up from the table and looks over at CREEDY, who has taken something out of an overhead cupboard and is fiddling with it.

KUBRIK

Don't play with my Jesus.

EXT. STORAGE FACILITY - DAY

INT. STORAGE FACILITY ELEVATOR

Dean: Man...

Sam: What?

Dean: Just Dad. You know him and his secrets. Spend all this time with the guy and it's like we barely even know the man.

Sam: Well, we're about to learn something.

Sam and Dean exit the elevator and find the storage container. Dean unlocks the padlock and opens the sliding door, both brothers with flashlights at the ready. On the dusty floor of the container is a symbol drawn in red, along with several bloody footprints.

INT. STORAGE CONTAINER

Sam: No Demons allowed.

Dean: Blood. Check this out.

Dean hold up a tripwire which is attached to a shotgun hidden in a large animal skull.

Sam: Whoever broke in here got tagged.

Dean: Dear old Dad. I got two sets of boot treads here, looks like it was a two-man job. And our friend with the buckshot in him looks like he kept walking.

Sam: So what's the deal? Dad would do work here or something?

Dean: Living the high life, as usual.

Sam and Dean venture further inside. Dean aims his flashlight on the skull and shakes his head. Sam looks over a desk while Dean picks up a trophy from a shelf, scraping the dust off.

Dean: 1995

Sam: No way! That's my Division Championship soccer trophy. I can't believe he kept this.

Dean: Yeah... About the closest you ever came to being a boy. Oh, wow! It's my first sawed-off. I made it myself. 6th Grade.

Dean Laughs and pumps the shotgun.

Sam moves further into the container and opens a door to a back room. The chain on the door has been cut. Sam and Dean enter and pass their flashlights over the scene.

Dean: Holy crap. Look at this, he had land mines... Which they didn't take. Or the g*ns. I guess they knew what they were after, huh?

Sam spots boxes inscribed with symbols on a far shelf.

Sam: Hey Dean, check this out. See these symbols? That's binding magic. These are curse boxes.

Dean: Curse boxes? They're supposed to keep the evil mojo in right, kinda like the Pandora deal?

Sam: Yeah, yeah, they're built to contain the power of the cursed object.

Dean: Well Dad's journal didn't mention a whole bunch of stuff, you know? Dangerous hexed items, fetishes, he never did say where they ended up.

Sam: No, then this must be his toxic waste dump. One box is missing... Great.

Dean: Well maybe they didn't open it.

INT. WAYNE AND GROSSMAN's APARTMENT - DAY

GROSSMAN

Come on man, let's open it.

WAYNE

Shut up about the damn box!

Inside the apartment of petty thieves WAYNE and GROSSMAN, WAYNE is sitting on the couch, his left shoulder bleeding from a g*nsh*t wound. The missing curse box is on a coffee table.

WAYNE

Do you see what's happening here? I am literally bleeding to death!

GROSSMAN

Uh, I'm gonna open it.

WAYNE

Grossman!

GROSSMAN

Look what if this is really worth something? What, we should just hand it over to her? Hey, we took all the risk. Hell, Wayne. You got sh*t. And all for a lousy few hundred bucks. Now we could make more selling whatever it is ourselves.

GROSSMAN breaks open the lock on the box with a Kn*fe and lifts the lid. WAYNE gets up from the couch to see what's inside.

GROSSMAN

Huh?

WAYNE

Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?!

WAYNE picks up the object in the box.

WAYNE

It's a rabbit's foot- It's a rabbit's foot Grossman! I'm gonna die for a damn rabbit's foot.

WAYNE and GROSSMAN are interrupted by banging on the front door.

WAYNE

Oh great, now what?

WAYNE slams the rabbit's foot down on the table while GROSSMAN answers the door.

GROSSMAN

Oh, hey Foster.

FOSTER

Hey, listen guys not to be a drag or nothing but it's six o'clock in the morning!

GROSSMAN

Right..

FOSTER

Can't you keep it down?!

GROSSMAN

No we... Just got a situation here is all, sorry.

FOSTER

(to WAYNE)

What the hell happened to you?

WAYNE

Shotgun happened to me.

FOSTER walks over to WAYNE before turning back to GROSSMAN.

FOSTER

Hey Grossman? Under my sink there's a medical kit. And get some water boiling.

GROSSMAN

OK.

GROSSMAN leaves and FOSTER checks WAYNE's wound.

FOSTER

I used to be an Army Medic you know, in 'nam? So I guess this is your lucky day. (Laughs)

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - DAY

Sam and Dean pull up in the alley beside the apartment block, next to another car. Dean leans out and checks the car's plates.

Dean: Connecticut. Last three digits 880.

Sam: Yep, that's it.

Dean: (Clucks)

Should've blacked out their plates before they parked in front of the security camera...

INT. WAYNE AND GROSSMAN's APARTMENT - DAY

WAYNE and GROSSMAN are playing Poker.

WAYNE

Four Kings.

GROSSMAN

(Groans)

Unbelievable.

WAYNE

You see that?

(Laughs)

GROSSMAN

Yeah, yeah yeah.

WAYNE

Deal 'em up again.

Sam and Dean break into the apartment, armed, and sneak inside.

WAYNE

Royal Flush. Grossman, that's the second Royal Flush in eight hands

GROSSMAN

Yeah, this is a lot of fun.

WAYNE

I can't lose. I mean really, I- I can't lose!

WAYNE grabs the rabbit's foot.

WAYNE

Maybe this thing really works? You know what I'm saying? I tell you something there's no way in Hell we are handing it over to that stuck-up bitch now, not after all we've been through. Uh uh. Let's go, huh? Let's get out of here, let's go have some fun.

Dean: FREEZE, FREEZE! NOBODY MOVE!

Sam: Don't move!

Dean: DON'T MOVE!

WAYNE

What is this?

Sam: STOP!

Dean: All right, give us the box. And please tell me that you didn't-

Sam: Oh they did.

Dean: You opened it?!

Dean shoves WAYNE against the wall.

WAYNE

Are you guys cops?

Dean: Huh?

WAYNE

ARE YOU GUYS COPS?!

Dean: What was in the box?

WAYNE glances over at the coffee table where the rabbit's foot sits. Dean follows his gaze.

Dean: Oh, was that is, Huh? It was wasn't it? What is that thing?

WAYNE uses Dean's distraction to knock the g*n from Dean's hand. It falls to the floor, causing it to fire. The b*llet ricochets off a radiator and hits Sam's g*n, causing him to drop it. The Same b*llet then ricochets again and breaks a lamp. Sam and GROSSMAN both go for Sam's g*n. GROSSMAN pushes Sam into Dean. Dean falls back on the coffee table, launching the rabbit's foot into the air.

Sam: (to Dean)

Sorry!

GROSSMAN throws himself at Sam, sending them both to the floor, and then starts punching Sam in the face. WAYNE goes for Dean's g*n. As he picks it up and aims for Sam, he hits Dean, who has just got up, square under the chin, knocking him down again. GROSSMAN is now trying to strangle Sam. Sam desperately tries to reach for the rabbit's foot, which is almost out of reach. Sam just manages to grab it, then knocks GROSSMAN's hands away from his throat and kicks him back into a corner. Sam gets up.

Sam: Dean! I got it!

WAYNE moves forward and cocks Dean's g*n in Sam's face.

WAYNE

No you don't.

GROSSMAN gets his hands on Sam's g*n while WAYNE pulls the trigger on Sam. The g*n jams. WAYNE panics and tries to clear the chamber, while Dean gets up and tries to stop him. WAYNE is surprised and stumbles back, tripping over a rug and falling back over the couch. He knocks himself out. Sam and Dean look at each other, confused. GROSSMAN gets up and tries to point the g*n at Sam.

Dean: Sam!

As GROSSMAN moves, the bookshelves above him collapse, knocking him out cold. Sam's g*n flies out of his hand and Sam catches it. Dean looks astounded.

Dean: That was a lucky break! Is that a rabbit's foot?!

Sam holds it up.

Sam: I think it is.

Dean: Huh.

END ACT ONE

ACT TWO

EXT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT PARKING LOT - DAY

Dean walks over to the Impala with a paper bag in his hands. He gets in. Sam is inside. Dean takes something out of the bag.

Sam: I'm not finding anything on it in Dad's journal.

Dean holds up several scratch cards in front of Sam.

Sam: Dean, come on.

Dean: What?! Hey, that was my g*n he was aiming at your head, and my g*n don't jam so that was a lucky break. Not to mention them taking themselves out, also a lucky break. Here, scratch one. C'mon Sam, scratch and win!

Dean hands over a coin and a card. Sam scratches it.

Sam: Dean it's gotta be cursed somehow, otherwise Dad wouldn't have locked it up.

Sam hands the card back.

Dean: �1200... You just won $1200.

(Laughs and hollers)

I don't know man doesn't seem that cursed to me!

Dean hands Sam another card.

INT. WAYNE AND GROSSMAN's APARTMENT - DAY

WAYNE and GROSSMAN are still laid out on the floor. WAYNE comes to and gets up, groaning.

WAYNE

Grossman. Grossman, get up.

WAYNE kicks an empty beer bottle. It rolls into the kitchen.

WAYNE

Hey, Grossman, get up. Hey!

WAYNE nudges GROSSMAN with his foot and walks into the kitchen. GROSSMAN is unresponsive. WAYNE steps over the beer bottle and heads to the sink, removing two plates, a colander and a large BBQ carving fork and placing them in the drainer. WAYNE turns on the tap and splashes water on his face and dries off with a dish cloth.

WAYNE

Hey, Grossman. Grossman!

WAYNE goes to walk back out of the kitchen, his foot catching on the beer bottle in the middle of the floor. He trips and falls backwards, landing on the fork he placed in the drainer. GROSSMAN comes to, gets up and hears choking. GROSSMAN walks into the kitchen and sees WAYNE impaled on the fork through the neck. The prongs are sticking out of WAYNE's mouth. GROSSMAN screams.

EXT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT PARKING LOT - DAY

Dean lays out 6 scratch cards on the hood of the Impala, calculating their winnings.

Dean: (Laughs)

Oh man!

Bobby: You touched it? Damn it, Sam!

Sam: Well Dad never told us about this thing. I mean you knew about his storage place at Black Rock?

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - DAY

Bobby: His lockup? Yeah, I knew. Hell I built those curse boxes for him.

EXT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT PARKING LOT - DAY

Sam: Well, so I won't lose it Bobby.

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - DAY

Bobby: EVERYBODY LOSES IT!

EXT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT PARKING LOT - DAY

Sam: Well then how do we break the curse?

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - DAY

INT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT - DAY

Sam and Dean enter.

Dean: Don't worry, Bobby'll find a way to break it. Until then I say we hit Vegas, pull a little Rain Man. You can be Rain Man.

Sam: Look, we just lay low until Bobby calls back, OK?

(To RESTAURANT OWNER)

Hi, uh, table for two please.

RESTAURANT OWNER

CONGRATULATIONS!

An alarm goes off.

Dean: It's exciting, I know.

RESTAURANT OWNER

You are the one millionth guest of the Biggerson's Restaurant family!

STAFF start singing and taking photographs. Balloons and streamers fall from the ceiling. Sam looks embarrassed while Dean looks ecstatic.

EXT. KUBRICK's RV AND CREEDY's PICKUP - DAY

KUBRIK

Right, you hear anything, give me a call.

INT. KUBRICK's RV - DAY

KUBRIK

Well that clears my book. The word's out. Now we wait.

CREEDY

Now we eat.

KUBRIK

Good idea. What do you like, I got canned everything.

CREEDY

No, no man, not eating in the RV. Look, I know a good place. Wide menu, good service, homey atmosphere. Garlic knots! The menu's on their website.

KUBRUCK doesn't look convinced.

INT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT - DAY

Sam is on his laptop. Dean is eating a bowl of ice cream.

Sam: Bobby's right. It's lore goes way back. Pure Hoodoo. You can't just cut one off any rabbit. Has to be in a cemetery, under a full moon, on a Friday the thirteenth.

Dean: I say from now on, we only go to places with Biggerson's.

Dean is struck with brain freeze from the ice cream. Sam laughs as a Waitress approaches their table with more coffee.

Waitress: (to Sam)

Can I freshen you up?

Sam: Yeah, yeah sure. Thanks.

The Waitress pours Sam more coffee but spills some.

Waitress: Oh!

Sam: Oh! Oh I uh-

Waitress: Let me mop up here.

Sam: No, no don't worry it's OK, It's OK- I got it, uh...

Waitress: It's no trouble, really.

Sam: OK.

Waitress: Sorry about that.

Sam: It's all right.

The Waitress appears to be flirting with Sam. Sam gives Dean a look. The Waitress finishes cleaning up and walks away, looking over her shoulder as she goes and smiles. Sam and Dean both lean in and watch her.

Dean: Dude. If you were ever gonna get lucky...

Sam: (Smirking)

Shut up.

Sam goes to pick up his coffee, knocks the cup over and manages to spill it all over the table and himself. Sam jumps out of his seat.

Sam: Oh! Oh Geez, uh...

Sam turns and a waiter with a full tray crashes straight into him, sending things flying and causing a scene. Dean looks shocked.

Sam: (to waiter)

Sorry!

Sam turns back to Dean.

Dean: How was that good?

Sam searches his jacket pocket and comes up empty. The rabbit's foot is gone.

Dean: Son of a bitch.

EXT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT MAIN ENTRANCE - DAY

Sam and Dean rush out of the restaurant, Sam falls flat on his face.

Dean: Wow! You suck!

Dean reaches down and picks Sam up off the ground.

Sam: Ow...

Dean: So what, now your luck turns bad?

Sam's jeans are torn at both knees, which are bloody and raw.

Sam: I guess.

Dean: I wonder how bad?

INT. KUBRICK's RV - DAY

CREEDY passes his laptop to KUBRICK who looks over the screen.

KUBRIK

Looks good. I like that when they drop the whole onion in the fryer.

CREEDY takes the laptop back.

CREEDY

Nearest location...

CREEDY searches and then pauses, looking surprised. He passes the laptop back to KUBRICK.

CREEDY

You seeing that?!

On the screen is a photograph of Sam and Dean from their winning visit to the local Biggerson's. KUBRICK grins.

KUBRIK

Yes I am.

KUBRICK looks up to the sky as though he's been given a sign.

INT. WAYNE AND GROSSMAN's APARTMENT - NIGHT

GROSSMAN is holding a photograph of himself and WAYNE. GROSSMAN holds up a bottle of Tequila and sadly toasts the memory of WAYNE.

GROSSMAN

Adios, compadre.

GROSSMAN pours a lug of Tequila on the floor, then takes a large swig. The door to the apartment opens and Dean and Sam walk in. Sam hangs back.

GROSSMAN

Oh, man. What do you want?

Dean: Heard about your friend, that's bad luck.

GROSSMAN

Piss off.

Dean: We know someone hired you to steal the rabbit's foot. A woman.

GROSSMAN

Oh yeah? How do you know that?

Dean: Because she just stole it back from us.

GROSSMAN laughs.

Sam: Listen man, this is serio-

Sam steps forward and trips on a wire on the floor mid-sentence, pulling a CD player off a shelf and sending it and Sam crashing to the ground. Sam takes out a lamp as he goes. Dean just rolls his eyes.

Dean: Sam, you OK?

Sam: (from the floor behind the couch)

Yeah, I'm good!

Sam pulls himself up and GROSSMAN smirks.

Dean: (to GROSSMAN)

I want you to tell us her name.

GROSSMAN

Screw you.

Dean: It wasn't a freak accident that k*lled your partner.

GROSSMAN

What?

Dean: It was the rabbit's foot.

GROSSMAN

(Incredulous)

You're crazy, man.

Dean: You know I'm not. You saw what happened, what it did. All the flukes, all the luck. When you lose the foot that luck goes sour. That's what k*lled your friend. And my brother here is next. And who knows how many more innocent people after that. Now if you don't help us stop this thing that puts those deaths on your head.

GROSSMAN looks worried.

Dean: Now I can read people, and I get it. You're a thief, and a scumbag, that's fine. But you're not a k*ller. Are you?

GROSSMAN

(Whispered)

No.

EXT. BIGGERSON's RESTAURANT PARKING LOT - NIGHT

KUBRICK is leaning against his RV. CREEDY approaches from the restaurant.

CREEDY

No one saw which way they went. And their meal was free so there's no credit card trail.

KUBRIK

Don't worry, we'll find 'em.

CREEDY

What makes you so sure?

KUBRIK

'Cause there's a higher power at work here. I know it now.

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Sam and Dean exit the apartment block. Dean's phone starts ringing. As Dean answers, he steps over a large piece of pink bubblegum on the ground.

Dean: Hello?

Sam follows and steps straight into the bubblegum.

Bobby: Dean, great news. Wasn't easy but I found a heavyweight cleansing ritual that should do the trick.

Dean: Bobby that's uh, great, 'cept Sam, uh...

Dean looks over at Sam and grimaces when Sam lifts his shoe.

Dean: Sam lost the foot.

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: He WHAT?

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Dean: Bobby, Bobby, listen this, uh, this hot chick stole it from him. I'm serious. In her mid 20's, and she was sharp you know, good enough at the con to play us.

Sam is trying to scrape the bubblegum off his shoe using a broken storm drain grating.

Dean: And she only gave the guy she hired a name, probably an alias or something.

(To Sam)

Uh, Luigi or something?

Sam is still scraping his shoe off.

Sam: Lugosi.

Dean: Lugosi.

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: Lugosi? Lugos- Aw crap, it's probably Bela.

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Sam moves his foot too hard, dislodging his shoe. It drops into the drain. He tries to retrieve it.

Dean: Bela Lugosi? That's cute.

Bobby: Bela Talbot's her real name.

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: Crossed paths with her once or twice.

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Dean: Well she knew about the rabbit's foot, is she a Hunter?

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: Pretty friggin' far from a Hunter, but she knows her way around the territory. She's been out of the country.

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Bobby: Last I heard she was in the Middle East someplace.

Dean: I guess she's back.

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: Which means seriously bad luck for you.

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Dean: Great.

Bobby: But, if it is Bela...

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: At least I might know some folks who know how to find her.

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Dean: Thanks Bobby. Again.

INT. Bobby SINGER's HOME - NIGHT

Bobby: Just look out for your brother, ya idjit.

Bobby hangs up

EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK - NIGHT

Dean looks back at Sam. Sam looks thoroughly dejected.

Dean: What?

Sam: I lost my shoe.

Dean looks down and Sam's sock-clad foot and sighs, annoyed. Sam hangs his head.

END ACT TWO

ACT THREE

EXT. MOTEL PARKING LOT - NIGHT

The Impala pulls into the lot and stops just inside the entrance.

Dean: (on the phone)

All right Bobby, thanks. We owe ya, another one.

Dean: (to Sam)

All right Bobby's got it on pretty good authority that this Bela chick lives in Queens. So it'll take me about two hours to get there.

Sam: So what are we doing here?

Dean: You my brother are staying here 'cause I don't want your bad luck getting us k*lled.

Dean drives the Impala into the main lot, passing KUBRICK's RV on the way.

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - NIGHT

Dean unlocks the door and leads Sam inside, turning on a light as he goes.

Sam: What am I even supposed to do, Dean?

Dean: Nothing, nothing. Come here. I don't want you doing anything. I want you to sit right here, and don't move, OK? Don't turn on the light, don't turn off the light. Don't even scratch your nose.

Sam sits in a chair and watched Dean leave, locking the door behind him. Sam wrinkles his nose a few times before risking a scratch.

EXT. BRIDGE OVER RIVER - EARLY MORNING

SUBTITLE QUEENS, NEW YORK

INT. Bela's APARTMENT - EARLY MORNING

Bela's apartment is richly decorated and contains varied valuable artifacts. Bela is on the phone. She walks down stairs and into the kitchen. She talks with an affected British accent.

Bela: Because you shook on one point five. Well maybe I should just take it somewhere else?

Bela pets a Seal Point Siamese cat that is sitting on the counter.

Bela: Don't thr*aten me, Luke. Despite your reputation you don't scare me.

(Pause)

Well I'm glad you see it that way. I'll see you at the airstrip in an hour.

Bela ends the call. Bela's security monitors register Dean approaching. Bela picks up the rabbit's foot with kitchen tongs and the Siamese cat hisses. Bela moves to look over at the security monitors, just missing Dean's arrival. Bela puts the rabbit's foot down, opens the wine cooler and extracts a g*n from it before moving through the living room toward the front door. The door is ajar. As she approaches, she notices a beeping noise. The alarm system panel is flashing ERROR. A bright yellow Post-It stuck to the panel reads TURN AROUND. Dean appears behind Bela, his g*n drawn. Bela turns and draws her g*n.

Dean: You left without your tip.

Bela smirks. Dean raises his eyebrows.

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - DAY

Sam rocks back and forth on the chair, bored stiff. Suddenly, the AC unit in the wall in front of Sam starts making a clunking, grinding sound. Smoke starts to pour out.

Sam: (Despairingly)

Oh come on, I- I didn't- I wasn't...

(sighs)

Sam gets up and cautiously approaches the unit. The unit catches on fire. Sam grabs the comforter off one of the beds and attempts to put out the fire with it. When Sam thinks he's got it, he gets up, only to find his jacket sleeve is now on fire. Sam panics and uses the curtain to put it out. The curtain rips and falls away, revealing KUBRICK and CREEDY staring in through the window. Sam falls back, knocking himself out on the floor. KUBRICK smiles and looks to the sky in thanks.

INT. Bela's APARTMENT - DAY

Dean and Bela are engaged in a stand-off.

Dean: You're gonna give it back.

Bela: (Laughs)

Sweetie, no I'm not.

Dean: Yeah, We'll see. Bela, right?

Bela: That's right, Dean.

Dean: You know the thing's cursed, don't you?

Bela: You'd be surprised what some people would pay for something like that.

Dean: Really?

Bela: There's a lucrative market out there. A lot of money to be made. You Hunters with all those amulets and talismans you use to stop those big bad monsters. Any one of them could put your children's children through college.

Dean: So you know the truth, about what's really going on out there and this is what you decide to do with it? You become a thief?

Bela: I procure unique items for a select clientele.

Dean: Yeah. A thief.

Bela: No, a great thief.

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - DAY

CREEDY is restraining Sam to a chair with Duct Tape. Sam comes to.

CREEDY

Oh, he's awake!

KUBRIK

Back with us, eh?

CREEDY

We didn't even have to touch you. You just went all spastic, and knocked yourself out? It was like watching Jerry Lewis try to stack chairs!

Sam: Who are you, What do you wa-

KUBRICK snaps his fingers in Sam's face. Sam looks confused.

KUBRIK

I used to think your friend Gordon sent me.

Sam: Gordon? Oh come on!

KUBRIK

Yeah, he sent me to track you down, and put a b*llet in your brain.

Sam: Great. That sounds like him.

KUBRIK

But, as it turns out, I'm on a mission from God.

KUBRICK strikes Sam across the face.

END ACT THREE

ACT FOUR

INT. Bela's APARTMENT - DAY

Dean: Look Bela, my brother, he touched the foot. And when you took it from him, his luck went from-

Bela: I know how it works.

Dean: So then you know he's gonna die unless we can desTroy it.

Bela: (Insincere)

Oh... You can have the foot.

Dean looks surprised.

Bela: For one point five million.

Dean: Nice. Yeah, I'll just call my Banker. How'd you even find the damn thing? Stuck in the back of some storage place, middle of nowhere.

Bela looks over her shoulder. Dean follows her gaze to a Ouija Board and planchette on the mantle.

Bela: I just asked a few of the ghosts of the people that it k*lled. They were very attuned into it's location.

Dean: So you're only out for yourself, huh? It's all about number one?

Bela: Being a Hunter is so much more noble? A bunch of obsessed, revenge-driven sociopaths trying to save a world that can't be saved?

Dean: Well aren't you a glass half-full?

Bela: We're all going to Hell, Dean. Might as well enjoy the ride.

Dean: I actually agree with you there. Anyhoo, this has been charming but uh, look at the time. Oh and this?

Dean reveals the rabbit's foot in his hand. Bela looks pissed.

Dean: Looks like you're not the only one with sticky fingers. If it's any consolation I think you're a truly awful person.

Bela fires at Dean and misses completely. She fires again, the b*llet ricocheting around breaking several objects and hitting the Ouija Board. Dean laughs and holds out the rabbit's foot to taunt Bela and makes a run for the door. Bela fires again at Dean's retreating form, the b*llet again ricocheting around and desTroying more objects. The Siamese cat runs off and Bela ducks. Dean escapes.

Dean: Seeya!

Bela sighs.

INT. MOTEL ROOM 2 - DAY

CREEDY throws a glass of water in Sam's face. Sam's cheek is bruised and his nose is bloody. Sam shakes the water off while KUBRICK watches, sitting on one of the Motel beds.

KUBRIK

You were part of that Demon plan to open the gate weren't you?

Sam: We did everything we could to stop it.

KUBRIK

Lie lie lie! You were in on it. You know what their next move is too, don't you?

Sam: No, I don't, OK? You're wrong about all of this.

KUBRIK

Where are they gonna hit us next?

Sam sighs and stays silent. KUBRICK strikes Sam across the face again.

KUBRIK

WHERE?! Gordon told me about you, Sam. About your powers. You're some kinda weirdo psychic freak?

Sam: No, not any more I- no powers, no visions, nothing, it just-

KUBRIK

LIAR!

KUBRICK punches Sam hard.

KUBRIK

Now no more lies. There's an army of Demons out there pushing at a world already on the brink. We're on deck for the endgame here, right? So maybe, just maybe you can understand why we can't take chances.

KUBRICK draws his g*n and points it at Sam.

Sam: Whoa, OK, OK, no don't- hold on a minute!

CREEDY

Hey, Kubrick just-

KUBRIK

No, you saw what happened Creedy, ask yourself, why are we here? Because you saw a picture on the web? Because we chose this Motel instead of another? Luck like that doesn't just happen.

Sam: Look, I can explain all of that if-

KUBRIK

Shut up! It's God, Creedy. He led us here for one reason. To do his work. This is destiny.

Sam: Whoa...

Kubrick aims the g*n point blank at Sam's forehead. Sam squeezes his eyes shut. The sound of another g*n being cocked is heard in the room.

Dean: Nope. No destiny, just a rabbit's foot.

KUBRIK

Put the g*n down son, or you're gonna be scraping brain off the wall.

Dean: What, this thing?

KUBRIK

Yeah, that thing.

Dean: OK. But you see there's something about me that you don't know.

Dean puts his g*n down, looking smug, and picks up a pen sitting next to it.

KUBRIK

Yeah? What would that be?

Dean: It's my lucky day.

Dean tosses the pen toward KUBRICK. It lodges itself in the barrel of KUBRICK's g*n Sam looks impressed.

Dean: (Laughs)

Oh my God, did you see that sh*t!?

CREEDY lunges at Dean and aims a punch. Dean easily side-steps and CREEDY runs straight into the wall, falling backwards and hitting the floor. KUBRICK stares at the pen in the barrel for a few moments before trying to dislodge it.

Dean: I'm amazing.

Dean picks up the TV remote from the table and throws it hard at KUBRICK, who is just about to aim for Dean. It hit's KUBRICK right between the eyes, knocking him out cold. He drops like a stone.

Dean: (Suave)

I'm Batman.

Sam: (Sarcastic)

Yeah. You're Batman.

ACT FIVE

EXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT

Sam is crouching, and sprinkles something onto the embers of a small fire. Dean is checking over more scratch cards.

Sam: All right. Bone ash, cayenne pepper, that should do it.

Dean: One second...

Sam: Dean, you-

Dean: Hey, back off, Jinx. I'm bringing home the bacon.

Sam sighs. Dean smirks and stashes the cards in his jacket, which is slung over a gravestone.

Dean: All right, say goodbye "wascally wabbit".

The sound of g*n is heard cocking. Dean turns round.

Bela: I think you'll find that belongs to me. Or, you know, whatever. Put the foot down, honey.

Dean: No. You're not going to sh**t anybody. See I happen to be able to read people. OK, you're a thief, fine, but you're not-

Bela ignores Dean, aims at Sam and fires. Sam goes down, groaning.

Dean: Son of a-

Bela: Back off, tiger. Back off. You make one more move and I'll pull the trigger.

Sam gets up, clutching his shoulder.

Bela: You've got the luck, Dean. You I can't hit. But your brother? Him I can't miss.

Dean: What the Hell is wrong with you?! You don't just go around sh**ting people like that!

Bela: Relax. It's a shoulder hit, I can aim. Besides, who here hasn't sh*t a few people. Put the rabbit's foot on the ground now.

Dean: All right! All right. Take it easy.

Dean goes to drop the rabbit's foot, but instead throws it at Bela.

Dean: Think fast.

Bela catches the foot and curses.

Bela: Damn!

Dean: Now, what do you say we desTroy that ugly-ass piece of dead thing?

Bela drops the rabbit's foot in the embers.

Bela: Thanks very much. I'm out one and a half million, and on the bad side of a very powerful, fairly psychotic buyer.

Dean: Wow. I really don't feel bad about that. Sam?

Sam: Nope. Not even a little.

Bela: Hmm. Maybe next time I'll hang you out to dry.

Bela goes and leans on the gravestone where Dean's jacket is.

Dean: Oh don't go away angry, just go away.

Bela: (Smirks)

Have a nice night, boys.

Bela walks away. The rabbit's foot burns in the fire.

Dean: You good?

Sam: I'll live.

Dean: I guess we're back to normal now, huh? No good luck, no bad luck. Oh! I forgot we're up $46000, I almost forgot about the... scratch tickets.

Dean searches his jacket and comes up empty. Bela's car roars in the distance. Sam and Dean look at each other, then watch her drive away.

INT. Bela's CAR - NIGHT

Bela smirks to herself, Dean's scratch cards laying beside her. Bela picks up the pile and laughs.

EXT. CEMETERY - NIGHT

Dean: SON OF A BITCH!

EXT. PRISON - DAY

INT. PRISON

KUBRICK is talking to Gordon. KUBRICK's nose is taped up.

KUBRIK

You were right about everything. Sam Winchester is more than a monster. He's the adversary.

Gordon: And what was it that convinced you?

KUBRIK

God led me to him, and his will is clear.

Gordon: OK... That's great. Glad to have you onboard. But, uh, first things first. We gotta get me the Hell out of here. 'Cause like I told you before, Sam Winchester must die.

Gordon hangs up the two-way phone.
