NOW

INT. CROWLEY's LAB – NIGHT

Dean

Bobby?

Bobby sits up.

Dean [to LEVIATHAN-Castiel]

How many of you ass-clowns are in there? A hundred? More?

LEVIATHAN-Castiel is dripping black fluid.

Dean

Your vessel's gonna explode, ain't it? Wouldn't do anything too strenuous. In fact, I'd call it a day, head on home, huh?

LEVIATHAN-Castiel

We'll be back. For you.

Bobby

Well, this is a new one.

Sam's hallucination of Lucifer (HALLUCIFER) is holding Sam against a wall with a hand around his neck.

Sam: You're not real.

HALLUCIFER

Right. You think this fruit-bat fever dream is reality? You come back, I'm sorry, with no soul like some peppy American Psycho, till Saint Dean glues you back together again by buying you some magic amnesia. You're real. I'm very real. Everything between is what we call set dressing.

Sam: No.

HALLUCIFER

You're still in my cell. You're my bunkmate, buddy. You're my little bitch, in every sense of the term. Sam. Sam.

Dean

Sam! You hearing me?

Dean puts a hand against Sam's chest.

Dean

Whoa. Look at me. Hey. All right, we got to button this up. Come on, let's get out of here. Come on.

EXT. RESERVOIR – DAY

LEVIATHAN-Castiel walks into a water reservoir. As Dean, Sam and Bobby watch, he goes under. A whirlpool appears and black liquid radiates out from it, then disappears.

Bobby

Aw, hell.

A sign at the edge of the reservoir reads "Public Water Supply. No Swimming. No Fishing. No Boating."

SUPERNATURAL

ACT ONE

EXT. RESERVOIR – DAY

Dean

Damn it.

Bobby

You said it. Those... whatever you call 'ems...

Sam: Leviathan.

Bobby

Right. If they're in the pipes, they got themselves a highway to anywhere.

Dean

Awesome.

Dean picks up Castiel's trenchcoat, which had floated to the edge of the reservoir.

Dean

Okay. So he's gone.

Bobby

Yeah. Rest in peace. If that's in the cards.

Dean folds the trenchcoat and looks down at it sadly.

Dean

Dumb son of a bitch.

Bobby

Well, he was friends with us, wasn't he? Can't get much dumber than that. Come on, those things will be coming up for air soon.

MUSIC: "Black Water" by The Doobie Brothers.

VARIOUS SCENES: Teenage girls in bikini tops are washing cars, a woman fills a pitcher of water in her kitchen, and a young girl drinks from a fountain in a park. The water coming from the fountain turns black and the girl is possessed. A man fixing a car in his garage is hit by black liquid after investigating why the sink was rattling.

INT. Bobby's HOUSE – DAY

Sam is asleep on a couch.

HALLUCIFER

Hey. Wake up, sunshine. Up and at 'em, atom man.

Dean

Sammy.

Dean touches Sam on the chest.

Dean

Sammy, hey –

Sam jumps.

Dean

Whoa. That's twelve hours straight, I'm calling that rested. Here.

Dean hands Sam a bottle of water and a power bar.

Dean

Hydrate, and uh, protein-ate.

Sam: Breakfast in bed.

Dean

Don't get used to it. Let me see that hand.

HALLUCIFER

Oh, he wants to hold your widdle hand. How sweet.

Dean removes Sam's bandage and inspects his stitches.

Dean

Eh, you'll live. Here.

Dean pours whiskey over Sam's wound. Sam sucks in his breath with pain.

Dean: All right, take it easy.

Sam: So, ooze invasion. Any leads?

Bobby

I got all my feelers out. Whatever they're up to, it ain't – ain't about going Mothra down Main Street. They'll turn up. You seem pretty eager to stretch your legs, you know.

Bobby puts a new bandage on Sam's hand.

Sam: Mmm.

Dean: Now onto our other big problem. How're you doin'? And do not say okay.

Sam: I'm not okay.

Dean: You think?

Bobby

Hey. Go a little easy.

Dean: There's nothing easy about it, Bobby, okay. We acted like he had everything under control.

Sam: I get it. I'm sorry. Look, I- I didn't exactly want to cr*ck up, you know?

Dean: What the hell happened back there?

Sam: Well, it's not just flashbacks any more.

Dean: Well then what?

Sam: It's more like... I'm seeing through the cracks.

Dean: What does that mean?

Sam: It means I'm having a difficult time figuring out what's real.

Dean: Hallucinations.

Sam: For starters.

Dean: Well for starters, if you're tripping Hell's Bells, why would you hide that?

Sam: I wasn't hiding it, Dean, I – I was just not talking about it. I mean it seemed like you two had enough going on as it was. Look, I – I just figured, try to hold onto the safety bar and ride it out, you know? But it's getting more specific.

Dean: As in specifically what?

Dean gets glasses of whiskey for himself and Bobby.

Dean: What the hell, Sam?

Sam: I told you.

Dean: I mean seriously, how do you, how do you argue with that?

Sam: I know. It's a problem.

Dean: Well now wait, I got it. Why would the Devil holodeck you a whole new life when he could just kick your ass all over the Cage?

Sam: ‘Cause, as he puts it...

Sam AND HALLUCIFER TOGETHER

You can't t*rture someone who has nothing left for you to take away.

HALLUCIFER

Very good, Sam.

Dean: Okay, fine. But this Malibu dream mansion that he, he, he makes for you to take away is this post-apocalyptic mess?

HALLUCIFER

It had to be a mess, Sam, or you wouldn't believe it was your life.

Dean: Wait. Are you seeing him right now?

Sam nods.

Dean: You know that he's not real. Right?

Sam: He says the Same thing about you.

Bobby

I'm going back to work.

TELEVISION SCREEN: "Breaking News: Surprise Eclipse"

TV Announcer (V.O): Scientists have no explanation for what astronomers can only describe as a surprise eclipse.

INT. POSSESSED Little Girl's BEDROOM

The POSSESSED Little Girl is watching TV and changing the channels.

TV (V.O): [Indistinct][Different channel]Time to announce... [Different channel]We know you're hungry. Why not indulge yourself at Biggerson's home-made pie bar? It's like a salad bar, but with pie. [Different channel]Next week on Dr Sexy MD, Dr Cheyenne Meganopolis makes a shocking return.

TV (Dr. MEGANOPOLIS V.O.)

I'm sorry, Doctor, I forgot being Head Surgeon means you cut into whatever body you want and take out whatever organ pleases you without any paperwork whatsoever.

The POSSESSED Little Girl smiles.

TV (Dr. SEXY V.O.)

Well Doctor, I'm sorry you're so forgetful.

INT. Bobby's HOUSE – DAY

Sam is taking apart his g*n. Bobby is using the computer in the kitchen. Dean is leaning over Bobby's chair.

Bobby

Well, at least he's not curled up under the sink.

Dean

Yeah, no, he's just sitting there silently field-stripping his w*apon.

Dean takes Sam's phone out of Sam's jacket, which is hanging over a kitchen chair.

Bobby

What are you doing?

Dean

Turning on his GPS, case he decides to fly the cuckoo's nest.

Bobby

And you? How are you doing?

Dean

Seriously Bobby, it ain't like he's hexed, you know? I mean, what if it's the kind of crazy you can't fix?

Bobby

Yeah, I'm – I'm worried too, but humor me for a second. How are you?

Dean

Who cares? Don't you think our mailbox is a little full right now? I'm fine.

Bobby

Right. And weren't you pissed at him when he said the Same thing just a couple hours before he spilled his marbles all over the floor?

Dean

Yeah, well. [Pours himself a cup of coffee.]I'm not Sam, okay? I keep my marbles in a lead friggin' box. I'm fine. Really.

Bobby

Of course. Yeah. You just lost one of the best friends you ever had, your brother's in the bell jar, and Purgatory's most wanted are surfing the sewer lines, but yeah, yeah, I get it. You're – you're fine.

Dean

Good.

Bobby

Course, if at any time you want to decide that's utter horse crap, well I'll be where I always am. Right here.

Dean

What, you want to do couples' yoga, or you want to get back to hunting the big bads?

Bobby

Shut up. Idjit.

EXT. STOCKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL – DAY

INT. STOCKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL MENS LOCKER ROOM – DAY

Three students enter the locker room.

STUDENT 1

Yeah? Up yours, Manny, I still got point-oh-six on your time.

STUDENT 1 (to two other students who were already in locker room)

Hey, where were you guys?

STUDENT 2

I guess we got here early. Heard something weird come from the showers.

STUDENT 3 closes and locks the door.

STUDENT 1

Hey, what are you doing, Williams? You're going to get in trouble.

WILLIAMS

Yes, Scott, I probably am.

WILLIAMS grabs STUDENT 4 and throws him against the wall.

STUDENT 2 [crouching on top of the lockers]

What Williams is trying to say, Scott, is that we're too hungry to care.

STUDENT 2 jumps down from the lockers and grabs MANNY. Blood splatters the lockers.

ACT TWO

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – DAY

PATIENT 1

...crying to the ER nurse, screaming Mother Mary mercy, and when they opened her back up, three sponges and a set of clamps, sewn up inside like she was a living piñata. You can't trust these people.

Dr. GAINES

Afternoon, ladies.

PATIENT 1

Oh hello, Doctor!

JODY MILLS

Hi, Dr Gaines.

Dr. GAINES

So, Ms Mills. You did excellent today. Just as we discussed, it was a textbook appendectomy.

JODY MILLS

That's good.

Dr. GAINES

But you have been through a serious surgical procedure, and you know, I know you're tough, but I want you to take it easy tonight.

JODY MILLS

Works for me, Doc.

Dr. GAINES

The good news: I've put you down for some pretty fun painkillers.

JODY MILLS

Ooh.

Dr. GAINES

I'll check in on you first thing. You'll be home in no time.

PATIENT 1

Charming, isn't he? Did you know a study showed three quarters of Doctors cheat on their exams? He might not know your appendix from your vag*na.

INT. Bobby's HOUSE – DAY

Dean enters carrying groceries.

Bobby

Hey there Gunga Din, buck up.

Sam: So it looks like we got some bad news for a change. Stockville North Kansas, most of a high school swim team got m*nled to death in their locker room.

Bobby

Cop talk on the wire's kind of garbled, saying it looks like some kind of wild animal att*ck. They're saying that whatever att*cked them's about the size of a linebacker.

Sam: It's a lead, Dean.

Dean

All right, but if you think you're going out on a hunt...

Sam: No, I know. I'm not. But you are. Look, Bobby's running the hub, I'm – I'm 5150'd, which leaves you to follow this thing up.

Dean

Sam, you're in the middle of a psychotic break.

Sam: It's a couple hours' drive, Dean, and it could be a Leviathan thing.

Dean

Nah, if you think I'm leaving you here alone...

Bobby

Hey. What am I, chopped brains on toast? I can eyeball the kid. Go. Work off some of these nerves on something useful.

Dean looks at Sam and Bobby and shrugs.

Dean

Fine.

EXT. PLAYGROUND – DAY

The POSSESSED Little Girl is on a swing. A Man approaches and takes hold of the swing.

Man: You got yourself an awfully small body.

POSSESSED Little Girl

Too small. She didn't know anything. Can't even see over the counter.

Man: Well this one, Edgar, Edgar worked on something called a demolitions crew. Watching things blow up is apparently very satisfying.

POSSESSED Little Girl

Annie? Knew where babies come from. Disgusting, by the way. I'm hungry. We all are.

POSSESSED Man (EDGAR)

Yes, about that.

POSSESSED Little Girl

I'm sorry!

EDGAR

Sorry? They ate the swim team.

POSSESSED Little Girl

Like I said, hungry.

EDGAR

That's no excuse.

POSSESSED Little Girl

Well what do you want me to do?

EDGAR

Get them in line. I don't care how. For God's sake, it made the papers. Look, the boss, honestly, he just wants to hear it's taken care of, so take care of it. Quickly. I don't like bringing him bad news. Are we clear?

POSSESSED Little Girl

Actually, I have an idea. I could use your help.

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – DAY

Dr. GAINES is walking down the hallway. The POSSESSED Little Girl is humming behind a privacy screen in an exam room.

Dr. GAINES

Little girl, can I help you?

POSSESSED Little Girl

Are you a Dr Sexy?

Dr. GAINES

Uh, I'm a surgeon. Where are your parents?

POSSESSED Little Girl shakes her head.

POSSESSED Little Girl

Is it true? Surgeons can just cut into whatever body they want?

Dr. GAINES

What?

POSSESSED Little Girl

And remove whichever organs they please?

Dr. GAINES

Where in the world did you hear s-

POSSESSED Little Girl

I want to be a surgeon when I grow up!

The POSSESSED Little Girl grabs Dr. GAINES' arm, hard.

Dr. GAINES

Ow! Let me go!

Bones cr*ck.

Dr. GAINES

Aargh!

Dr. GAINES falls to his knees.

POSSESSED Little Girl

And I want to grow up now!

POSSESSED Little Girl takes on the form of Dr. GAINES. Blood appears on the privacy screen.

INT. STOCKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL MENS LOCKER ROOM – DAY

A FORENSICS Officer is examining the blood-splattered wall of the locker room.

Dean: Special Agent Anderson. Ian.

Officer: Yeah, okay. Our point cop's out on the donut. Forensics [indicates himself]. I can show you the layout. And step lightly. We got a whole bunch of NC17 shiznickel right over there.

Dean: Right.

Dean sees black ooze on a wall.

Dean: Dammit.

EXT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – NIGHT

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – NIGHT

JODY MILLS is asleep in her hospital bed. She wakes and sees Dr. GAINES putting a breathing mask on PATIENT 1 in the other bed.

Dr. GAINES

Just breathe deeply.

PATIENT 1

But my surgery isn't till tomorrow.

Dr. GAINES

Just breathe deeply. I'm Dr Sexy. Your surgery is when I say it is.

JODY MILLS see Dr. GAINES wheel PATIENT 1's bed out of the room, but pretends to be asleep.

JODY MILLS

Huh. Not weird at all.

JODY MILLS gets up to follow and watches Dr. GAINES wheel PATIENT 1's bed down the hallway.

INT. Bobby's HOUSE – NIGHT

Sam's phone rings. He sees HALLUCIFER reading a newspaper at the table.

Sam (on phone): Yeah.

Dean (on phone, driving)

Well, we are positive for ick. Same kind of stuff that came out of Cas, and, uh, two of the swim kids were missing – they stole one of their parents' cars.

The scene alternates between Sam in Bobby's house and Dean in the Impala.

HALLUCIFER

You know, I really think Price William has found the right girl. What do you think?

Sam (on phone): So you think these, um, these Leviathan things just jump into people? Like Eve did?

Dean (on phone): I don't know, it makes sense, right? Anyway, uh, state trooper's got surveillance cam on the kids about six hours old, of them gassing up just south of Dakota line, so I'm headed back your way. We'll just track them from Bobby's.

Sam (on phone): Yeah, sounds good.

Dean (on phone): Hey! How are you doing?

Sam turns to look at HALLUCIFER.

Sam (on phone): You know, uh, okay.

Dean (on phone): Okay. Well hang in there, all right?

Dean and Sam hang up.

HALLUCIFER

Just okay? Man, I'm having a great day.

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – NIGHT

JODY MILLS is following Dr. GAINES, who is pushing the unconscious PATIENT 1 on a hospital bed. He enters the Organ Transplant Unit, outside which is a sign saying "Ward Closed for Renovations". JODY MILLS sees Dr. GAINES cut into PATIENT 1, remove her liver and eat it. She gasps and heads back down the hallway.

Nurse: Ms Mills, what are you doing out of bed? Are you okay?

JODY MILLS collapses.

ACT THREE

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – NIGHT

JODY MILLS awakens back in her hospital bed.

Nurse: Ms Mills, you gave us all a scare.

JODY MILLS

What? No, uh...

Nurse: You can't be wandering around the halls like that in your condition.

JODY MILLS

He t-, he took...

JODY MILLS looks at the other bed in the room, which is empty.

Nurse: What? Who?

JODY MILLS

Dr Gaines?

Dr. GAINES

Ms Mills. We told you to take it easy, remember?

JODY MILLS

Of course. I –

Dr. GAINES

What in the world were you doing, wandering the halls like that?

JODY MILLS

Nothing. Um, my stitches were itching and I just wanted to know if that was normal, and I must have fainted or something. My stitches feel fine now.

Dr. GAINES

Ms Mills, you can't get out of bed. You could have ripped open your sutures with a fall like that. Don't make me go back in there. Okay?

The Nurse injects something into JODY MILLS' drip.

JODY MILLS

What's that?

Nurse: Just something to help you sleep.

JODY MILLS

No, that's okay, I'll sleep just fine.

Dr. GAINES

Doctor's orders. I'll check on you later.

Dr. GAINES and the Nurse leave the room. JODY MILLS removes her drip, gets out of bed and takes her handbag from a drawer.

JODY MILLS

You can kiss my ass, Doctor Monster-Face.

JODY MILLS sags against the side of the bed.

JODY MILLS

Oh no.

INT. Bobby's HOUSE – NIGHT

HALLUCIFER is swinging a fire poker like a golf club.

Sam: Okay, if this is some dream and you got power over it, why don't you just end it?

HALLUCIFER

End it? This? You not knowing what's real, the paint slowly peeling off your walls, come on, man, this is the sweet spot! Why would I end it? Not like we got HBO in the Pit. All I got is you, floating over the coals with half a hope that you're gonna figure it all out. There's only one way to figure it out, Sam. It's up to you. It ends when you can't take it anymore.

Sam shakes his head. HALLUCIFER looks at Sam's g*ns on the table.

HALLUCIFER

I think that's maybe why we're cleaning our g*ns.

Sam: Shut up. I said [shouting]shut up!

Bobby: Hey, Sam. You, uh, having a little bag lady moment?

Sam: Sorry.

Bobby gets beers out of the refrigerator and hands one to Sam.

Sam: Thanks.

They each take a drink.

Sam: You know, after... everything. All these years, all that we've been through...

Bobby: You b*at the Devil before, kid.

Sam: It's kinda different.

Bobby: Not really. You'll get a handle on this too. You will.

Sam sees HALLUCIFER standing behind Bobby, holding the fire poker.

Bobby: You're not in Hell anymore. You're here, with us.

Sam sees HALLUCIFER s*ab Bobby with the poker.

Bobby: You hear me, Sam?

Sam nods.

Sam: Yeah, I hear you, Bobby.

Bobby's phone rings.

Bobby: Oh. That's my local. [Answers phone.]Hello?

JODY MILLS (on phone, sitting on the floor of her hospital room)

Bobby Singer? My surgeon is a monster.

The scene alternates between Bobby's house and the hospital.

Bobby (on phone): Come again?

JODY MILLS (on phone): He took my windbag roomie and he ate her liver. Except he wasn't, he was no surgeon... Listen. His face, his mouth was this horrible –

Bobby (on phone): Who is this?

JODY MILLS (on phone): It's Jody. Jody Mills.

Bobby (on phone): Jody?

JODY MILLS (on phone): Sheriff Mills.

Bobby (on phone): Gotcha.

JODY MILLS (on phone): I can't exactly call a Deputy here. You and I k*lled zombies that one time – I know you handle this kind of thing. Please get your ass here to Sioux Falls General before he eats me, Singer.

JODY MILLS and Bobby hang up.

Bobby: Well, either Sheriff Mills is having an ObamaCare-insured opium dream, or something's eating folks down at Sioux Falls General Hospital.

Bobby gets his jacket.

Bobby: Look, I don't want to bruise your ego or anything, but...

Sam: No, no, no, it's okay. Go, go, go. I'll – I'll watch the phones.

HALLUCIFER

So, just you and me, huh?

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – NIGHT

Two members of the high school swim team, with bruises and cuts on their faces, are standing at the admittance counter.

Nurse: What happened to you two?

EDGAR

I did. Where's Dr Gaines?

Nurse: Oh no, that's not how it works, okay? If you require a physician's attention, you're going to have to fill out these forms.

Dr. GAINES

I can take over from here, nurse. These youths obviously require immediate care.

Dr. GAINES leads the boys and EDGAR down the hallway.

Dr. GAINES

This is where they bring their bodies to be fixed. They consider it a safe place. But the truth is, often they actually die here instead. And they never question it! I'm not kidding.

They enter a room in which a woman and a man are tied up.

Dr. GAINES

We can feed discreetly. Who will know? A few of us in the right positions, and we can feast every single day. I'm thinking head nurse and the staff administrator first.

EDGAR

I have to hand it to you. That's exactly what the boss asked for.

Dr. GAINES

Out of the box thinking.

EDGAR

Yes. You're off the swim team, boys. Time to pursue a career in medicine.

The boys approach the nurse and administrator.

EDGAR [to Dr. GAINES]

All right. Check in.

Dr. GAINES

You won't stay? I would love to grab us a good anesthesiologist.

EDGAR

He asked me to check into some other business in the area.

Dr. GAINES nods.

EDGAR

Anyway, it seems you've got things well in hand.

The boys grab the arms of the nurse and administrator.

EDGAR

Why can't they scream?

Dr. GAINES

Oh, I severed their vocal cords, of course. It was a delicate procedure, but very doable.

Blood splatters the wall.

INT. Bobby's HOUSE – NIGHT

Sam is assembling his g*n again and using a stopwatch to time himself. He looks displeased with the time. He hears a car pull up and walks towards the door with an open can in his hand. Dean enters.

Sam: Dean.

Dean: Hey. Oh, yeah. Good thinking.

Dean takes the can from Sam.

Sam: Uh...

Dean takes a drink from the can.

Dean: So I, uh, I followed those swim kid Levia-whatever...

Sam: To where?

Dean: Here. Well, back to town, and that ain't the good news.

Sam: What?

Dean: It ain't just two of them, I don't think.

Sam: Did you call Bobby?

Dean: Yeah, he's working his own case, I gotta move and I need back-up and that means you.

Sam: Wait. You sure about that?

Dean: I know, you're bonkers. But, luckily I just need you to keep the engine running and wait by the back door. Just don't, uh, don't let Satan change my presets. Let's go.

Dean walks out the door. Sam gets his g*n and jacket and follows him.

EXT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL – NIGHT

Bobby is pushing JODY MILLS in a wheelchair.

JODY MILLS

Her name's Mrs Hackett. She never came back.

Bobby: I'll check it out. Now you get some rest. I'll come by later.

JODY MILLS

Bobby Singer. My hero.

Bobby: That's the roofies talking.

Bobby helps JODY MILLS into a taxi.

Bobby pulls back the sheet covering the body.

Bobby: Already autopsied, what the hell?

INT. Impala – NIGHT

Dean: How you doing, Sam? In the head region. Devil still riding shotgun?

Sam: Not right now, but... yeah.

Dean: Maybe we ought to get you, I don't know...

Sam: Some – some what? Some... professional help? What are they gonna do, Dean, just stuff me full of pills. We'll figure out some other option.

Dean: Okay, yeah. But what are your other options? You remember when Martin took his nose-dive and started sh**ting at nothing? I mean his sweater unraveled fast.

Sam: I'm not Martin.

Dean: No, but you are crazy. That don't wash off. You get that, right? You are never going to be okay, Sam.

Dean enters and walks through the house looking for Sam.

Dean: Sam? Sammy? Sam? Oh, crap.

EXT. OFFICE BUILDING – NIGHT

The Impala, containing HALLUCINATION-Dean and Sam, pulls up outside what appears to be an office building. Five people are visible through glass windows. HALLUCINATION-Dean and Sam get out.

HALLUCINATION-Dean: Oh, dammit. There's five of 'em. All right, come on.

Sam: Are you sure?

HALLUCINATION-Dean: Yeah, and listen, when we get in there, you gotta keep it together.

Sam is holding keys.

Sam: Yeah, yeah, I – I will, I –

HALLUCINATION-Dean: 'Cause if you're seeing Lucifer, then you could be seeing all kinds of crap, okay? You just don't know.

Sam: How is this helping?

HALLUCINATION-Dean: I'm just saying, Sam, you're out of control.

Sam: I'm dealing with it the best I can.

HALLUCINATION-Dean: Dealing? [Laughs]Sorry, that's just funny, I mean how can you deal? You think this is an office building, right?

HALLUCINATION-Dean holds the door open for Sam and they enter the building. The door reads "Morning Star Endeavors Ltd".

INT. WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

HALLUCINATION-Dean: Sorry. Wrong.

Sam: Where the hell are we?

HALLUCINATION-Dean: Oh, you think I'm Dean! Right.

HALLUCINATION-Dean smiles and morphs into HALLUCIFER.

HALLUCIFER

You poor clueless son of a bitch.

Sam: Stay the hell away from me.

Sam turns and walks away.

HALLUCIFER

Your world is whatever I want it to be, understand?

Sam turns and sh**t at nothing.

Sam: Leave me alone!

HALLUCIFER appears behind Sam.

HALLUCIFER

Now we're getting there. Pinocchio's seeing his strings.

Sam: Shut up.

HALLUCIFER

It's the big crescendo.

Sam: I said shut up!

Sam fires his g*n. HALLUCIFER appears behind him again.

HALLUCIFER

Want to point that g*n at someone useful? Try your face.

HALLUCIFER walks closer to Sam.

HALLUCIFER

Want to know the truth? Want to skip to the last page of the book? You know where to aim.

HALLUCIFER holds a finger against the underside of his jaw.

HALLUCIFER

Cowboy. [Makes a sound to imply pulling the trigger.]

INT. SIOUX FALLS GENERAL HOSPITAL MORGUE – NIGHT

Bobby is examining Mrs Hackett's insides.

Bobby: It's like a friggin' doggy bag in here!

Dr. GAINES enters.

Dr. GAINES

Can I help you?

Bobby: You can maybe still help this hospital!

Bobby takes out some ID and holds it up briefly.

Bobby: Who's responsible for this sloppy bit of documentation?

Dr. GAINES

I know you.

Bobby: No, you got the wrong guy.

Dr. GAINES

Bobby... Singer. Yes. We saw you. Through the angel's eyes.

Bobby grabs a mallet off a tray and hits Dr. GAINES across the face.

Bobby: Well, let's try for amnesia, then.

Bobby takes a shotgun out of his bag as Dr. GAINES' face transforms. He now has a huge mouth, long pointed teeth and a two-pronged tongue. Bobby sh**t. Dr. GAINES' face returns to normal and he drips black ooze.

Bobby: Fair enough.

Bobby runs out of the room.

INT. Impala – NIGHT

We see a sh*t of the GPS on Dean's phone.

Dean: Oh, this can't be good.

EXT. WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

Dean pulls up near a black van and gets out of the car.

INT. WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

Sam and HALLUCIFER are standing close together. Dean enters.

Dean: Sam? Sam!

HALLUCINATION-Dean: Oh look. Another me.

Dean: Sam, what are you doing?

Sam points his g*n at Dean. Dean holds up his hands.

Dean: Whoa, whoa!

Sam: I was with you, Dean!

Dean: Okay. Well, here I am.

Sam: No. No, I don't, I...

Sam looks at HALLUCIFER, then back at Dean.

Sam: I can't know that for sure. You understand me?

Dean: Okay, now we're gonna have to start small.

Sam: I don't remember driving here.

HALLUCIFER

Well that's because I drove. You thought. [to Dean]Sam is very suggestible.

Sam sh**t at what he thinks is HALLUCIFER.

Dean: Whoa, whoa! Sam! This discussion does not require a weapons discharge!

Sam is breathing heavily. He lowers his w*apon.

Dean: Look at me. Come on. You don't know what's real? Look man, I've been to Hell. Okay, I know a thing or two about t*rture. Enough to know that it feels different. Than the pain of this – this regular, stupid, crappy this.

Sam: No, no. How can you know that for sure?

Dean: Let me see your hand.

Dean reaches out his hand. Sam lifts his right hand.

Dean: No, no. The – the gimp hand! Let me see it.

HALLUCIFER

Smell you, Florence Nightingale.

Sam looks around at HALLUCIFER. Dean grabs Sam's bandaged left hand.

Dean: Hey.

Dean shakes Sam's hand.

Dean: This is real. Not a year ago, not in Hell, now. I was with you when you cut it, I sewed it up! Look!

Dean squeezes Sam's bandaged left hand and grabs the barrel of the g*n Sam is holding with his other hand. HALLUCIFER appears next to Dean and flickers.

HALLUCIFER

We've done a lot more with pain.

Sam takes an indrawn breath and winces.

Dean: This is different. Right? Then the crap that's tearing at your walnut? I'm different. Right?

Sam takes his hands away. Dean keeps Sam's g*n.

Sam: Yeah, I think so.

HALLUCIFER

You sure about that, bunk buddy?

Sam is looking at HALLUCIFER, next to Dean.

Dean: Sam? Sam.

Sam pushes his right thumb against his wound, which bleeds through the bandage. HALLUCIFER flickers again.

HALLUCIFER

Doesn't mean anything.

Dean: Hey. I am your flesh-and-blood brother, okay? I'm the only one who can legitimately kick your ass in real time. You got away. We got you out, Sammy.

HALLUCIFER

Sammy. Sammy.

Sam continues to push his thumb hard against his wound.

HALLUCIFER

Sammy, I'm the only one who can...

HALLUCIFER flickers and disappears.

Dean: Believe in that! Believe me, okay? You gotta believe me. You gotta make it stone number one and build on it. You understand?

Sam nods.

Sam: Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Sam nods again. His phone rings.

Sam (on phone): Bobby, hey.

Bobby (driving, on phone)

The Sheriff was right. The hospital thing's definitely our kind of thing. I double-barreled one of them in the morgue. Silver buckshot – no effect. Bled black ooze.

The scene alternates between Sam in the warehouse and Bobby driving.

Sam (on phone): Leviathan here?

Bobby (on phone): I'm falling back. I'll meet you at the house. We can regroup.

Sam hangs up.

Sam: Bobby's got a live one.

Dean: Okay, well let's go.

Sam nods. Dean exits and Sam follows him.

INT. Impala – NIGHT

Dean: Look, when we get back to Bobby's –

Sam: It's okay, Dean, I'm good. No white rabbits. [laughs briefly]I'm not seeing anything.

Dean: Okay. Baby steps.

Dean gives Sam a small smile and Sam gives him one in return.

Dean: Oh no.

There has been a fire at Bobby's house.

EXT. Bobby's HOUSE – NIGHT

Sam and Dean get out of the car and stand looking at the house.

Dean: Oh no.

ACT FOUR

EXT. Bobby's HOUSE – NIGHT

Dean walks out of the remains of the house. Sam jogs up to him.

Sam: Any sign of him?

Dean holds up a blackened journal and tosses it behind him. They walk through a workshop.

Dean: That place was torched. Somebody knew what they were doing.

Sam: You think Bobby was back there?

Dean: I don't know.

Dean holds up a hand to indicate that Sam search for Bobby to their right.

Sam: Bobby!

Dean takes out his phone and makes a call.

Bobby's PHONE MESSAGE

This is Bobby Singer's direct hotline. You should not have this number. [beep]

Dean (on phone): You cannot be in that crater back there. I can't... If you're gone, I swear, I am going to strap my Beautiful Mind brother into the car and I'm gonna drive us off the pier. You asked me how I was doing? Well, not good! Now you said you'd be here. Where are you?

Dean hangs up.

Sam (V.O): Bobby!

Dean: Bobby!

Sam is walking through junkyard cars.

Sam: Bobby? Bobby!

Sam turns a corner and sees EDGAR.

EDGAR

Winchester. Congratulations. Apparently you two are competent enough to warrant annihilating. I'd take it as a compliment.

Dean sh**t EDGAR in the side of the head with a shotgun. EDGAR straightens up, looks at the black ooze on his hand, and his face transforms: his mouth enlarges, his teeth become long and jagged, and a long, two-pronged tongue unfurls. With his face returned to normal, EDGAR knocks away Dean's g*n, then grabs Dean and throws him against a car. The camera focuses on Dean's right leg, which is apparently injured. Sam runs up and punches EDGAR in the face.

Sam: Dean, now!

Dean is on the ground, but operates the controls for a hoist that's holding a car suspended in the air. EDGAR smashes Sam in the head with a metal bar, seconds before the car drops onto EDGAR. Sam falls backwards onto the ground. Black ooze spreads from under the car around EDGAR's hand, which is the only part of him visible. Dean pulls himself over to Sam.

Dean: Sam.

Dean grabs hold of Sam's shirt and shakes it a little.

Dean: Sammy? Hey, come on now. Come on, I'm the one with the broken leg, you got to carry me. Sam!

Dean holds his hand flat against Sam's chest. Sam is unconscious.

Dean takes out his phone and makes a call.

ACT FIVE

EXT. STREET – NIGHT

An ambulance drives down the street, lights flashing and sirens blaring.

INT. AMBULANCE – NIGHT

Sam and Dean are on stretchers inside. A paramedic is examining Sam.

Dean: Sam, stay with me, you hear?

PARAMEDIC (into communicator)

Male, late twenties, head trauma. Signs of increasing intracranial pressure.

Sam opens his eyes and sees HALLUCIFER.

HALLUCIFER

Hey, so maybe I'm not real. Nobody's perfect. And I'm not going anywhere, Sam.

Sam's eyes close, his head thrashes and his mouth opens.

Dean: Sam? Sammy?

PARAMEDIC (into communicator)

Yeah, he's seizing. Copy that. We're just pulling into Sioux Falls.

Dean: Sioux Falls? Sioux Falls General? No, no, no. No, you gotta take us somewhere else, anywhere. Please.

PARAMEDIC

Yeah, okay, buddy.

Dean knocks his head against the pillow in distress.

Bobby's SALVAGE YARD – NIGHT

The black ooze retreats back under the car and EDGAR's hand moves.
