NOW

EXT. CABIN – DAY

INT. CABIN – DAY

Sam is talking on his cell phone. The wall behind him is covered with research.

Sam: Yeah, I hear you. All right. Well, thanks for looking. Yep. Bye.

Sam hangs up.

Sam: So, Nora didn't see any pattern to the dig sites either.

Sam sits down on the sofa.

Dean: Yeah, 'cause they got nothing in common.

Dean sits on the arm of the sofa.

Dean: And I got nothing from local lore 50 miles in every direction of all of them. I mean, it's like they're just... old dirt. What's d*ck looking for?

Dean takes a drink from his flask. The lights flicker. Sam and Dean both stand up and take g*ns out of their jeans. Bobby appears and they point their g*ns at him.

Bobby: Hey, hey, go easy, you idjits. Sorry for the jump scare.

Dean: So how does this work, huh? I leave the cap off and you just genie your way out?

Bobby: I wish it were that easy. The thing –

Bobby flickers and vanishes.

Sam: Bobby?

Bobby reappears.

Bobby: Damn it. It's hard to stay focused. I'm still kind of worn out.

Dean: You've been pretty busy for a dead guy.

Bobby: All right. Listen. I-I don't know how long before my next ghost nap, so let's just skip to the skinny –

those numbers I gave you.

Dean: The empty lot in Cheeseville?

Bobby: Yeah, well, it ain't gonna be empty for long.

Bobby: I got a gander at d*ck's big plan, right before he Lincolned me.

Bobby: They're breaking ground – what month is this?

Sam: Uh – uh, April.

Bobby sighs.

Bobby: Ground's broke.

Frank

They're surveying. They're getting ready to build something.

Dean: Build what?

Frank: Exactly. What?]


Bobby: They're building as we're yammering. Check it out yourself. It's all right. I mean, you guys missed it because you've been kind of busy [Sam opens the laptop]k*lling ghosts the past few days. But d*ck is about to get into the Soylent Green business.

Bobby: That site'll show you they're building a biotech lab, right?

The laptop screen shows Geothrive's "Standard plans for an efficient slaughterhouse".

Bobby: Biotech my ass.

Bobby: That sucker is a state-of-the-art slaughterhouse. And we're the beef.

Dean: Don't you think that's a little bold, even for d*ck?

Bobby: I bet you no one will even notice…

Bobby: … 'cause first, he's gonna dumb us all down with Turducken-style munchies.

Bobby: Make us docile.

Bobby

It's in the meat.]


Dean: Yeah, we haven't been to Biggerson's since that whole fiasco.

Bobby: Biggerson's? He's bought a list of joints 10 pages long.

Dean: Ah.

Bobby: Next, he's gonna cure us.

Sam: Cure us of what?

Bobby: All the biggies – cancer, AIDS, heart disease. Let's just say they got an affinity for stem-cell research.

Dean: The, uh, Leviathan real-estate mooks building that cancer center.

George

It's going to be a research center.

Dean: Research for what?]


Bobby: They're not hunting anymore. They're engineering the perfect herd.

d*ck ROMAN

With the very first dose, it starts to work on their DNA, slowing their metabolism, causing weight gain, and dampening their emotional range, which makes them perfectly complacent.]


Bobby: Now, we've gone up against plenty liked to eat a few folk in the woods. This ain't that. This is about knocking us off the top of the food chain. This is about them Levis living here forever, one-percenter style, while we march our dopey, fat asses down to the shiny new death camps at every corner.

CUT TO: A Woman plugging a hard drive into a computer. She drags the "external volume" icon on her screen across to a box that says "Drop harddrive here to decrypt" and types rapidly.

CUT TO: Sam's laptop beeps. His email program reads "You have 1 new message." The top email is from Frank and is titled "I'm probably dead…"

Sam: It's an e-mail... [He opens the email.]From Frank.

Dean: Frank's alive?

Bobby: That jackass, always stealing my thunder.

Sam: "Sam and Dean, if you're reading this, I'm dead... or worse. This e-mail was sent because some prince is trying to hack into my hard drive right this second. So unless it's you, you got trouble."

CUT TO: the Woman trying to access the hard drive.

Sam: Um, okay. "My drive is full of compromising info. Your new aliases, hangouts, where you stored your car..."

Dean: Baby?

Sam: Even though he encrypted the crap out of his drive, he says we should assume that someone can hack into it eventually. He did put a tracking device in it.

Sam clicks on a link in Frank's email and a "Hard Drive Tracker" application appears on the laptop screen.

Sam: All right, let's see where Frank's drive is.

A box appears on the screen saying that the hard drive is at Richard Roman Enterprises.

Dean: Perfect. It's in the middle of the Death Star.

SUPERNATURAL

ACT ONE

EXT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – DAY

The Woman who attempted to hack into Frank's hard drive pulls up on a yellow scooter in front of the building. She removes her goggles and helmet, puts on headphones and plays Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine" as she walks towards the building.

♪ I used to think maybe you loved me ♪

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – DAY

♪ Now, baby, I'm sure ♪

The Woman enters the building and swipes her pass card.

♪ And I just can't wait till the day ♪
♪ When you knock on my door ♪

The Woman walks bouncily across the foyer in time to the music. A security guard's computer screen shows her picture and name – Charlie Bradbury – and reads "Access Granted".

♪ Now every time I go for the mailbox ♪
♪ Gotta hold myself down ♪

CHARLIE swipes her pass card in the elevator and presses a button for the fourth floor.

♪ 'Cause I just can't wait ♪
♪ Till you write me you're coming around ♪

CHARLIE looks around, smiles and starts to dance vigorously.

♪ Now, I'm walking on sunshine ♪
♪ Whoa ♪
♪ I'm walking on sunshine ♪
♪ Whoa ♪

The elevator arrives at CHARLIE's floor. She composes herself and walks out.

♪ I'm walking on sunshine ♪
♪ Whoa ♪
♪ And don't it feel good? ♪
♪ Hey ♪

CHARLIE turns off the music and removes her headphones as she walks to her desk. Her workspace is decorated with figurines and pictures from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, etc. Next to her computer is a Hermione Granger figurine.

CHARLIE brings up a website for "The U.S. Conservatives – Keep America Strong" and transfers $10,000 from their account to "Animal Lovers & Lovers of the Planet".

CO-WORKER

How'd it go last night? Charlie, it's a moral imperative you let me live vicariously through you.

CHARLIE

Pictures or it didn't happen, right?

CHARLIE hands her CO-WORKER her phone. Her computer screen now shows the "Animal Lovers" website online donations page. A message appears saying that the $10,000 funds transfer is complete.

CO-WORKER

You hooked up at a charity benefit?

CHARLIE

If you can't score at a reproductive rights function, then you simply cannot score.

CO-WORKER

Wait. Is that legal?

CHARLIE

We were two consenting adults.

The CO-WORKER rolls his chair over to look at CHARLIE's computer screen.

CO-WORKER

No. That.Why do you insist on breaking the law on company property?

CHARLIE

Mmm, faster Internet connection here.

CO-WORKER

Oh, well, if Pete finds out, he's gonna fire you... or get you arrested.

CHARLIE

Teddy Bear Pete? Please. You know I've been doing this for like a month. I can cover my tracks, Harry. Trust me.

PETE

Charlie!

CHARLIE and Harry stand up and look over the cubicle divider at PETE.

PETE

My office. Now.

Harry: I love you.

CHARLIE

I know.

CHARLIE walks into PETE's office. d*ck ROMAN is there.

d*ck ROMAN

Charlie Bradbury? d*ck. Sit.

CHARLIE looks very nervous.

d*ck ROMAN

Charlie, I've been running things for, well, feels like since before the dawn of man. Always had a vision. I'm close to realizing that dream. I don't want to brag, but the world is my dinner plate. And I don't want anything to jeopardize that – definitely not the actions of one tiny, little person.

CHARLIE

Sir, sir, I can fix this. Please – please don't fire me.

d*ck ROMAN

What's she talking about?

PETE

I – I –

d*ck ROMAN

Is that about hacking those Super PACs? 'Cause thatwas adorable. Tell me, how does a high-school dropout become one of the brightest minds at Roman, Inc.?

CHARLIE

Um... Honestly... Historically, I've had this problem with – with authority – no offense – so I realized the only way to get away with being me was to be as indispensable as possible. Sorry.

d*ck ROMAN

You're kind of completing me right now, Charlie. You have that spark, that thing that makes humans so special. Not everyone has it, you know. Those people – they can be replaced. But people like you... are impossible to copy.

CHARLIE

C-copy?

d*ck ROMAN

Take the compliment.

d*ck ROMAN picks up a hard drive.

d*ck ROMAN

This belonged to one Frank Devereaux. Thought he could bring down the whole company. He was wrong. Let's keep him wrong. It's encrypted [He gives the hard drive to CHARLIE], or whatever you crazy kids say these days. Break it open and bring it to me.

CHARLIE

Yeah, I'm on it. And – and thank you.

d*ck ROMAN

You're welcome. You have three days or you're fired. Good talk.

d*ck ROMAN leaves the office.

CHARLIE

Is this real life?

PETE stares at her with his mouth open.

CHARLIE walks past HARRY's desk holding up the hard drive.

CHARLIE

d*ck Roman gave me an assignment.

Harry: Is that... good?

CHARLIE

It means the Eye of Sauron is on me.

Harry: Well, if you need anything, I'll be back in the Shire.

CHARLIE plugs in the hard drive and looks at her Hermione figurine.

CHARLIE

All right, H. It's just you and me now.

CHARLIE drags the "external volume" icon on her screen across to a box that says "Drop harddrive here to decrypt" and types rapidly. A message appears: LOGON: error. Access denied.

CHARLIE types more and gets the Same "access denied" message several times.

Her screen reads: ‘Games' refers to models, simulations and games which have tactical and strategic applications.

List Games

Falken's Maze

Black Jack

Gin Rummy

Hearts

Bridge

Checkers

How about a nice game of chess?

More games appear on the list on CHARLIE's screen: Fighter Combat

CHARLIE

Wait a second. Seriously? "Wargames"?

CHARLIE types "Joshua" to log on. The screen reads "Greetings Professor Falken." CHARLIE smiles.

CHARLIE

Shall we play a game, b*tches? [To her Hermione figurine]That was hardly the Chamber of Secrets, right? [She mock-fistbumps the Hermione figurine]Booyah.

The computer screen flickers.

ELECTRONIC Voice

Shall – we – play – a – game?

A system alert appears on the screen: NICE TRY ZERO CHARISMA.

Frank's Voice

Nice try, Zero Charisma.

CHARLIE sighs and addresses the Hermione figurine.

CHARLIE

And back to square one.

Sam (V.O): Let's see where Frank's drive is.

INT. CABIN – DAY

Sam's laptop shows the location of Frank's hard drive at Richard Roman Enterprises.

Dean: Perfect. It's in the middle of the Death Star. All right, well, off to Chicago.

Dean stands up.

Bobby: No, wait, boys, you can't just break in. They know your mugs. What if we mailed in the flask? Then I could ghost through the joint. I mean, it's not like d*ck can k*ll me twice. What, you got a better plan? Come on. Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I don't know how to do my damn job.

Sam: Bobby, that's d*ck's office.

Dean: I think what Sam's trying to say is, what happens if you run into d*ck and, you know... go vengeful. You know it's not something you can just shake off.

Bobby: Come on. Give me some credit. What, I'm supposed to just ride the pine?

Sam: Sorry, Bobby.

Sam shuts the laptop and walks away. Dean follows him.

EXT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – DAY

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – DAY

CHARLIE is asleep at her desk.

Harry: Did you go home last night?

CHARLIE shakes her head.

Harry: I'll get us some coffee. I assume you want some cr*ck in yours.

CHARLIE

Yes, please.

CHARLIE's computer screen is still running through the decryption process. There is a beep and CHARLIE looks up. The screen reads Access granted!

CHARLIE

Finally.

FRANK's folders appear on the screen: March of Dimes

Clones

Known Facts

Monsters


CHARLIE

Who is this d-bag?

One of the folders is labeled "Richard Roman Enterprises".

CHARLIE

Don't do it. Roman said to bring it right to him. [She looks at the Hermione figurine]You're right, H. You're always right.

CHARLIE

What the frak's a Leviathan?

Frank's Voice

The thing to know about Leviathan is these monsters are as old as time, and strong as all get-out.Sodium borate – commonly known as Borax.Decapitation… [i]Splash them liberally. Repeat.[i][i]…is the key.[i][i]Then put that head in a box.[i][i]These are the Superman of monsters. [i][i]But don't use…[i][i]...from the black hole of Purgatory.[i][i]Send it to the moon if you can.[i][i]They die. [i][i]They can shapeshift…[i][i]They don't die easy.[i][i]Take your face, your memory – the works.[i][i]The top boss is Mr. d*ck Roman. He runs the show.

CHARLIE hits a button and shakes her head, then hits another button.

Frank's Voice

Cut one, you see black goo.[i][i]We're through the looking glass.[i][i]Blood is black, and black is blood.[i][i]Don't turn your back.[i][i]Get out of the building. Get out of the county.

CHARLIE hits a button and all of the open documents close. She gets up and looks in PETE's office, which is empty.

Harry: How goes it?

Harry hands CHARLIE a cup of coffee.

CHARLIE

Pretty sure I spent the last 24 hours hacking into a loony bin. Where's Pete?

Harry: Uh, probably snuck down to the garage for a smoky treat.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES GARAGE – DAY

PETE is walking to his car. He takes a packet of cigarettes from the driver's seat, then turns to find d*ck ROMAN and another Man waiting for him.

d*ck ROMAN

How's it going with that drive?

PETE

Uh, great. Charlie was here all night.

d*ck ROMAN

You know, that drive's very important to me. I'm gonna want a watchful eye kept.

PETE

Well, I will do just that.

d*ck ROMAN

No. You[i]won't. Bruce Springsteen, Eli Manning, our own little Charlie – you know what they are? Irreplaceable. You're more of a Tim Tebow, Joe Biden type. You got no spark in you. In fact, there's nothing in you... except Tarrell's dinner.

DARYL grabs PETE's arm and takes on PETE's form. TARRELL's his face transforms and he lunges at PETE. Blood splatters PETE's car. CHARLIE, who was watching from some distance away, gasps and turns around.

[i]INT. CHARLIE's APARTMENT – DAY


CHARLIE enters, takes a bag from a cupboard and starts to pack. She pauses and looks around, then shakes her head and continues packing. Her phone rings.

CHARLIE

Hey, Pete, sorry I left without telling you.

No, I just wasn't... feeling well. It's a... lady thing. I will be in first thing. Got to go – cramps.

CHARLIE looks at Star Wars figurines on a shelf. The head of the Darth Vader figurine is moving. CHARLIE hurries for the door. As she opens it, Dean slams it shut.

Dean: It's all right. I'm not gonna hurt you.

CHARLIE

Get away from me, you... [She picks up a plastic sword]shapeshifter!

Sam: Look, we're not shapeshifters.

CHARLIE slashes at Sam with the sword, breaking it.

Sam: Geez!

Dean takes the broken sword away from CHARLIE.

Dean: Look, we're not Leviathans, okay? You want us to prove it? You know what borax does to them?

CHARLIE

Yeah.

Dean: Sam?

Sam holds out his hand and Dean pours borax over it, then pours some over his own hand. He holds his hand up to show CHARLIE.

Dean: Huh? Your turn.

Dean gives CHARLIE the borax and she splashes some over one hand.

Dean: Good.

Dean takes back the borax.

CHARLIE

Who the hell are you guys?

A commercial plays, with images of a farm, the Statue of Liberty, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol building, a city, a shoreline, laboratory workers, farmers, a warehouse, a shipping wharf, an office tower, people eating at an outdoor table, two people eating corn on the cob, an American flag, and the "Sucrocorp" logo.

Voice ON COMMERCIAL

America – a nation of greatness… a nation of hardworking individuals. And, rest assured, no one works harder for you than Sucrocorp. Here at Sucrocorp, your well-being is our number-one priority. Sucrocorp – eat well, live well.

ACT TWO

INT. CHARLIE's APARTMENT – DAY

Sam and Dean are sitting in CHARLIE's living room.

CHARLIE

So you're saying, you guys are monster hunters. So, there are other monsters? Stop. Never mind.

Just shh. Okay, I get how you tracked the drive – straight GPS – but it's still at the office. How did you find me?

Sam clears his throat and opens his laptop. He shows CHARLIE video footage of herself.

CHARLIE

Aw! Son of a g*n jacked my webcam?!

Dean: Welcome to Frank.

CHARLIE

It's creepy, but I'll give it to him. So you're telling me everything he had on his drive is true.

Dean: That and more.

Sam: Wait. How long did it take you to cr*ck into Frank's drive?

CHARLIE

A day or so.

Sam: Is there anything you can't[i]hack into?

CHARLIE

Not yet.

Sam: How about d*ck Roman's e-mail?

CHARLIE

Why would I... Oh. He's one of them.

Sam: No. Uh, he's their leader.

CHARLIE

So what's the end game – steal our resources, make us some slaves?

Dean: Planet-wide value meal. We're the meat.

CHARLIE

You can't be... serious. Okay. All right. Let's do this. What am I looking for?

CHARLIE sits down at the table and opens her laptop. The desktop background is Arwen from The Lord of the Rings.

Dean: Well, for starters, uh, anything about archaeological dig sites.

CHARLIE

Like Indiana Jones stuff?

Dean: All we know is that d*ck has been digging all over the world, and we need to know what he's looking for.

CHARLIE

You know, I was having a really good week. I met someone, downloaded the new Robyn album. Everything was coming up me. Oh, crap.

Sam: Look, we get it sucks.

CHARLIE

No, not that. This. d*ck's e-mail isn't on the company server. It's on a private one, in his office.

Dean: Meaning?

CHARLIE

Can't get in it unless you have his phone or you're at his desk.

Dean: So you're saying that if we're inside d*ck's office, then we can hack into his e-mail?

CHARLIE

You can't. Only someone like... But I sure as hell ain't doing it. I am doing my job and... What are the chances I see everything on that drive and d*ck lets me live anyway?

Sam: I think you know.

CHARLIE

So I erase the drive first, protect me and you. Then I go back to my old life, right? What?

Dean: It's not that easy. You're on d*ck's radar, which means you don't have an old life anymore.

CHARLIE

I'm gonna die. I should have taken that job at Google.

Sam: Look, Charlie, it's okay if you can't do it. I mean, you didn't volunteer for this.

CHARLIE

Totally. Exactly. But now I volunteer.

Sam: What?

CHARLIE

I got to go back in anyways to wipe Frank's drive. Might as well break into d*ck's office, too.

Sam: Are you sure?

CHARLIE

No. But these things are gonna eat everyone I know. What kind of douchebag stands by for that? However, I have never broken into anything in real life before, so... plan?

Dean: You got a Bluetooth?

CHARLIE

Yeah.

Dean and Sam join CHARLIE at the table.

Dean: Security system – can you get into that?

CHARLIE

I can reroute any surveillance cameras we need.

Dean: All right. Let's start with that.

Bobby is watching them.

Sam: Do you have a key card to get in the building?

CHARLIE

Uh, yeah. I can't duplicate it, but I can make a fake backing, so that…

[i]EXT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT


A black van is parked outside.

VAN – NIGHT

Dean joins Sam inside the van.

Dean: How's it going?

Sam: Great, since she set all this up. Um, look.

Sam uses CHARLIE's laptop, with its Arwen desktop, to show Dean security footage.

Sam: See this? I can put each camera on a prerecorded loop. Once I do that, she'll have 15 minutes.

Dean: 15 minutes ain't a lot of time.

Sam: No. She said if it took longer to hack his desktop, then she deserved to be eaten.

Dean: I like her.

The security footage shows CHARLIE standing outside the building.

Dean: Wait. Is that... Son of a bitch.

Sam: What?

Dean: Look at her bag.

A close-up of CHARLIE's bag shows Dean's flask in a side pocket.

Sam: Bobby. Wait. Y-you think he, uh –

Dean: Hitched a ride after we told him to cool his jets? Yeah. What the hell's he thinking?

Sam: He's not. So what do we do – call the whole thing off?

Dean: We've only got one sh*t at this.

EXT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE is outside the building, looking nervous.

CHARLIE

[singing]I used to think maybe you loved me…

Dean (V.O): Charlie, it's Dean.

The scene alternates between CHARLIE outside the building and Dean and Sam in the van.

Dean: Are you singing?

CHARLIE

I sing when I'm nervous. Don't judge me.

Dean: Judgment-free zone. Listen, uh, check the side pocket in your bag.

CHARLIE

Oh. Thank you. [She takes a drink from the flask.]Mmm. Good idea.

Dean: Yeah, no problem. Look, that's, uh, kind of a family heirloom. It's a good-luck charm, okay, so don't lose it.

CHARLIE

Copy that. Okay. Let's do this.

CHARLIE doesn't move.

Dean: Uh, Charlie? Uh, Charlie?

CHARLIE

I'm having a hard time moving.

Dean: You can do this.

CHARLIE

Uh, I'm not – I'm not a spy. No, I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't.

Sam takes the phone from Dean.

Sam: Charlie, hey, it's Sam.

CHARLIE

I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry. I-I just –

Sam: It's okay. Uh, listen, w-who's your favorite "Harry Potter" character?

CHARLIE

Uh, Hermione.

Sam: Hermione. Well, uh, all right, did Hermione run when Sirius Black was in trouble or when Voldemort att*cked Hogwarts?

Dean: Seriously?

Sam: Shut up.

CHARLIE

No, of course not.

Sam: What did she do?

CHARLIE

She kicked ass. She actually saves Harry in practically every book. And then she ends up with the wrong –

Sam: Uh, stay on track. Okay, so she kicked ass, right? So, then, what are you gonna do?

CHARLIE

I'm gonna kick it in the ass.

Sam: Good girl.

Dean: Oh, you go, dumble-dork.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE enters the building and walks past a security guard. Her picture comes up on the security guard's computer screen. CHARLIE enters the elevator, swipes her pass and hits the button for level 4.

VAN – NIGHT

Sam and Dean watch the security footage.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE is in the elevator.

VAN – NIGHT

Sam and Dean watch the security footage.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE gets off at level 4.

VAN – NIGHT

Sam hits a button on the laptop so that the footage of the empty elevator will play on a loop.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

The security guard in the foyer looks at security footage. The sh*t of the elevator flickers and he taps the screen. CHARLIE gets back into the elevator, takes the strip off her security pass, puts it onto another one pass she is wearing and hits the button for level 11. The security guard sits back, apparently happy with the footage. CHARLIE rides up in the elevator.

CHARLIE

I'm in. I've always wanted to say that.

VAN – NIGHT

Dean: You're on the clock. Move.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

Bobby is riding up in the elevator with CHARLIE. CHARLIE gets off on the 11th floor. She flattens herself behind a wall when she sees a SECURITY Guard.

CHARLIE

Hey, there's a big-ass guard up here, blocking the door. What do I do?

The scene alternates between CHARLIE in the building and Dean and Sam in the van.

Dean: Just wait him out.

The SECURITY Guard sits down and starts reading a magazine.

CHARLIE

He's not going anywhere.

Dean: Okay, uh, you work there every day. Do you know the guy?

CHARLIE

I guess. I mean, I've seen him. I've never talked to him.

Dean: Okay, when you've seen him, does he look at you, or does he just kind of slide his eyes by?

CHARLIE

Um... eye contact? I don't know. He always kind of smiles a bit. I don't really –

Dean: Good. What you're gonna do is you're gonna walk right up to him, and you're gonna flirt your way past.

CHARLIE

I can't. He's not my type.

Dean: You're gonna have to play through that.

CHARLIE

As in he's not a girl.

Dean: Oh, oh. Pretend he has boobs.

CHARLIE

Worse.

Dean: Well, I don't know. Um... Do you have any tattoos? Give him a little sneak peek there. All tattoos are sexy.

CHARLIE

Mine is Princess Leia in a sl*ve bikini straddling a 20-sided die. [Dean looks at Sam.]I was drunk. It was Comic-Con.

Dean: We've all been there. Okay, I'm gonna walk you through this.

CHARLIE takes a deep breath and walks into the room with the SECURITY Guard.

Dean: Start with a smile.

CHARLIE pastes on a large, fixed smile. The screen briefly splits so that we can see both CHARLIE and Dean.

Dean: Relax, Charlie. You just got home, and Scarlett Johansson's waiting for you.

CHARLIE smiles more naturally and makes a pleased sound. The SECURITY Guard stands up as CHARLIE approaches.

SECURITY Guard

Can I help you, miss?

CHARLIE

Hey... [She reads his name tag]Bill. [She holds up her I.D. card]Charlie from I.T.

BILL

Oh. Burning the midnight oil, huh?

CHARLIE

Just like you – I mean, when you're not at the gym. What, do you work out with all your free time?

BILL

I try to get to the gym at least three days a week.

The screen splits so that we see BILL, Dean and CHARLIE.

BILL

Just trying to get back to my fighting weight, you know?

Dean: It shows. You look amazing. [Sam looks at Dean.]

CHARLIE

It shows. You look amazing.

Dean: [to Sam]This never happened. [to CHARLIE]Do you ever do anything else with your free time, like take a girl out for a drink?

CHARLIE

You do anything else with your free time, like [Sam starts to laugh]take a girl out for a drink?

Dean: Stop laughing, Sammy.

CHARLIE

Stop laughing, Sammy. Um...Y-you don't know that bar – Stop Laughing Sammy? [Sam stifles his laughter with his hand.]That place is bringing sexy back. Which is easy…

Dean: Stop talking, Charlie!

CHARLIE

… 'cause they kept the receipt. Stop talking, Charlie. Right. So, um, y-you were saying about going out, [CHARLIE plays with her hair]drinks?

BILL

Um... Yeah, yeah. That'd be great.

CHARLIE

Cool. Pencil that in. Hey, can I ask you a favor? The ladies' room downstairs is nasty. Can I use the exec washroom to powder my nose?

BILL

Yeah, yeah. Why not? Um, it's right down the hall. It's the first door on the right.

CHARLIE smiles and winks at BILL. After she walks away, BILL covers his mouth with his hand to check his breath. CHARLIE walks past the ladies' room.

CHARLIE

I feel dirty.

Dean: You and me both, sister.

CHARLIE

The eagle is landing. Going radio-silent.

Dean: Let us know when you're out.

The screen briefly splits so that we can see both Dean and Sam in the van, and CHARLIE entering d*ck ROMAN's office.

Sam: So, guess we just wait?

Dean: Yeah.

CHARLIE puts on gloves and sits down at d*ck ROMAN's desk. She plugs in a thumb drive and runs a password generator.

CHARLIE

Your password is "winning" with two 1's? Ew!

The screen briefly splits so we can see both CHARLIE at d*ck ROMAN's desk and BILL looking up from reading a magazine.

The screen returns to full size. CHARLIE starts to copy d*ck ROMAN's files.

BILL looks at his watch, then gets up.

CHARLIE's file transfer is up to 20%.

VAN – NIGHT

Sam is filling jars with Power Clean. Dean watches the security footage.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

BILL knocks on the door of the ladies' room. Bobby watches.

Bobby: Okay. Let's Yoda this.

The screen splits so that we can see BILL in the hallway, and CHARLIE in d*ck ROMAN's office. The door to d*ck ROMAN's office closes and locks. BILL and CHARLIE both look towards the sound.

VAN – NIGHT

Dean watches the security footage.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

BILL tries to open to the door to d*ck ROMAN's office. CHARLIE's download is up to 65%. BILL uses his key to unlock the door. CHARLIE's download is up to 70%. The screen splits so that we can see both BILL looking around in d*ck ROMAN's office and Dean in the van. BILL is about to leave the office when he notices CHARLIE's bag on d*ck ROMAN's desk. BILL walks to the desk as CHARLIE comes out of an adjoining room wiping her hands on her clothes.

CHARLIE

Hey, you!

BILL

What are you doing in here?

CHARLIE

You said first door on the left, right?

CHARLIE walks over to stand between BILL and d*ck ROMAN's computer.

BILL

No, I said first door on the right.

CHARLIE

Oh! Silly me. I am always forgetting things. Do you know what else I forgot to do?

CHARLIE picks up a pen from the desk. Her file download progress message, which is reflected in the window, reads 93%.

CHARLIE

Give you my phone number.

CHARLIE takes BILL's hand to write the number on it.

BILL

Uh, we really shouldn't be in here. Mr. Roman doesn't like people in his office.

CHARLIE

I'm sure. Have you seen his bathroom?

CHARLIE puts the pen back on the desk. The file download message now reads 100%. She grabs her thumb drive from the computer.

CHARLIE

Got to go. Call me.

VAN – NIGHT

Dean: Well, this is awesome.

Sam is still filling jars with Power Clean.

Dean: You know what? New plan. From now on, we just stay in the van and send in the 90-pound girl.

Sam: Dean, every chomper on earth knows our face. How many do you think are in that building? We wouldn't make it past the lobby.

Sam rolls his chair over close to Dean.

Dean: Yeah, I know. Doesn't mean I got to be happy about sending in freaking Veronica Mars.

Sam: She'll be fine... or we'll go in.

Dean: And get as far as we can. Damn right.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE plugs the thumb drive into her computer and takes another drink from the flask. She starts to transfer the contents of the thumb drive to a WiFi I.P. address.

VAN – NIGHT

CHARLIE (V.O): Hey, guys.

Dean: Hey.

The scene alternates between CHARLIE at her desk and Dean and Sam in the van.

CHARLIE

Sending you all the flagged dig files now.

Sam: Charlie, you are a genius!

CHARLIE

I know. It's a problem.

A door opens and PETE enters.

CHARLIE

Damn it. Hey, Pete! Guess we're both on deadline, huh?

PETE

How's it going?

CHARLIE

Good, good. I'll give you a full progress report in a few hours.

PETE

Great. Hit that deadline, right? [He reaches out to squeeze CHARLIE's arm.]Well, holler if you need anything.

CHARLIE

Hey, guys, you still there?

Dean: Yeah. What the hell was that?

CHARLIE

Oh, just my manager, the monster.

Dean: Leave.

CHARLIE

I can't. I got to act normal. I told him I was working. Let's just finish this.

CHARLIE opens a number of d*ck ROMAN's emails concerning a package leaving Iran and the suspension of the digs.

CHARLIE

Are you seeing this?

Sam: It looks like d*ck stopped digging days ago.

CHARLIE

Why?

Dean: Guess he found what he was looking for. Can you check?

CHARLIE

Way ahead of you. Looking at travel reports, expenses... Here we go. Something in his suitcase left Iran last week. Spent the last 72 hours in armored cars and private planes. Whatever it is, it's coming here for d*ck tonight. So, w-what the hell is it?

Dean: I don't know. Whatever it is, he wants it bad, which means we got to grab it, end of story.

CHARLIE

Well, it's landing at a private airport near here – crap – right about now. A courier's set to pick it up.

Dean: What's the exact landing time?

CHARLIE

42 minutes. Can you make it?

Sam looks at Richard Roman Enterprises and Downey Airport on an online map.

Dean: We can try. Uh, all right, Charlie, one more favor, and then get the hell out of there.

CUT TO: d*ck ROMAN talking on his cell phone.

d*ck ROMAN

Outstanding. And you'll call as soon as the package is in hand?

EXT. AIRPORT – NIGHT

A LEVIATHAN is waiting outside the cargo depot.

LEVIATHAN

Absolutely. I'm here waiting. In fact, I've got time for a light snack.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE removes the thumb drive from her computer. She gets up to leave, then gasps: d*ck ROMAN is standing right in front of her.

d*ck ROMAN

Hey, Charlie. I was hoping I'd find you here.

ACT THREE

EXT. NIGHT

An airplane is in the sky.

EXT. AIRPORT – NIGHT

The plane lands. A suitcase slides along the ground and one of the pilots picks it up. A BAGGAGE HANDLER pulling a cart full of suitcases almost runs into the LEVIATHAN, who is standing near the plane.

LEVIATHAN

Hey.

BAGGAGE HANDLER

Sorry.

LEVIATHAN

Watch it.

The BAGGAGE HANDLER puts a blue case on the ground. The LEVIATHAN points to it and looks at the pilots, then nods and picks up the case. He shakes hands with the pilots.

CUT TO: the LEVIATHAN leaves the airport building and gets into a waiting black vehicle, which then drives away. Sam and Dean are standing next to the open trunk of their car.

Sam: So now what?

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

The LEVIATHAN carries the case into d*ck ROMAN's office.

d*ck ROMAN

I've been looking for this for a very, very long time.

The LEVIATHAN opens the case. Inside is a bottle of Power Clean, hooked up to a b*mb.

d*ck ROMAN

Now, who could have done that?

The b*mb ticks and goes off.

CUT TO: CHARLIE at her desk. The scene alternates between CHARLIE at her desk and Dean and Sam in the van.

CHARLIE

A courier's set to pick it up.

Dean: What's the exact landing time?

CHARLIE

42 minutes. Can you make it?

Dean: We can try. Uh, all right, Charlie, one more favor, and then get the hell out of there.

CHARLIE

What do you need?

Dean: More time.

CHARLIE

Then let's get you some.

CHARLIE types an email to d*ck ROMAN from the travel department.

CHARLIE

Travel department's e-mailing d*ck. Suitcase still en route, but diverted by weather and will be 30 minutes late. [She stands up and looks around the office.]I'll finish mopping you guys off the drive and get the hell out of Dodge.

Dean: Call us when you're clear.

CHARLIE

Text you from the border, bro.

EXT. AIRPORT – NIGHT

A suitcase slides along the ground and one of the pilots picks it up. A BAGGAGE HANDLER pulling a cart full of suitcases almost runs into the LEVIATHAN, who is standing near the plane.

LEVIATHAN

Hey.

BAGGAGE HANDLER

Sorry.

LEVIATHAN

Watch it.

The BAGGAGE HANDLER puts a blue case on the ground. This time we see a close-up of his face: it is Sam.

The scene repeats again: LEVIATHAN

Hey.

Sam, crouching down and hiding his face, takes a gray case from the plane.

LEVIATHAN

Watch it.

Sam takes a blue case from the baggage cart and puts it on the ground, and puts the gray case on the baggage cart.

The LEVIATHAN picks up the blue case. Sam takes the gray case off the baggage cart and walks away with it. He is joined by Dean.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE removes the thumb drive from her computer. She gets up to leave, then gasps: d*ck ROMAN is standing behind her desk.

d*ck ROMAN

Hey, Charlie. I was hoping I'd find you here.

CHARLIE

Um, hey, Mr. Roman.

d*ck ROMAN

Please. d*ck.

PETE walks up.

d*ck ROMAN

Pete, we're good here. Why don't you go grab a bite?

PETE leaves.

d*ck ROMAN

Show me what you found.

EXT. AIRPORT – NIGHT

Sam and Dean are standing next to the open trunk of their car.

Sam: So now what?

Dean: See what we've won.

Dean opens the gray case. Inside is something wrapped in cloth, which Dean uncovers.

Sam: Did we just... steal a – a hunk of red clay?

Dean: That's a good question. Why don't we answer that a few thousand miles away from here, though? Now where is Charlie?

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE's phone rings. She looks at it, but doesn't answer. d*ck ROMAN is standing over her as she sits at her desk.

d*ck ROMAN

So there's nothing about my company?

CHARLIE shakes her head.

d*ck ROMAN

Ah. How about a Sam or a Dean?

CHARLIE

I'm sorry, who?

d*ck ROMAN

Sam and Dean Winchester. Give it a little peek, would you?

CHARLIE searches for "Sam + Dean + Winchester". Bobby is standing behind d*ck ROMAN.

Bobby: d*ck Roman. Come on. The girl's right there. Worry about her.

d*ck ROMAN

Is it me, or did it just drop 10 degrees in here?

CHARLIE

It's a bit nippy, yeah.

d*ck ROMAN

I'll have maintenance check the A.C. I can't have you cold, now, can I?

Bobby: You miserable... Damn it, Bobby, come on.

"NO RESULTS FOUND" flashes up on CHARLIE's screen.

CHARLIE

Nothing about those Winchesters.

d*ck ROMAN

If items were deleted from the drive, would you be able to tell?

CHARLIE

Not if they were deleted properly.

d*ck ROMAN

Well, they're crafty. Have all the data sent to me.

CHARLIE

Of course.

d*ck ROMAN

So, really, how did you do it?

CHARLIE

Uh, do what?

d*ck ROMAN

You broke the unbreakable. What's the thought process? Walk me through it, and ix-nay the jargon.

CHARLIE

Um... nothing's unbreakable, really. Nothing's safe if you poke at it long enough.

d*ck ROMAN

Nothing's safe. I like that. But that isn't what I'm asking, Charlie. Your spark – it's one in a million. Believe me, but when you got it, you invent g*ns and iPads and viruses, and, holy crap, you can be crafty. What is that, Charlie?

CHARLIE

Um –

d*ck ROMAN

'Cause I can feed every fact in your brain to someone else, they still wouldn't be able to be you.

CHARLIE

I guess you can't clone me.

d*ck ROMAN

Don't think that doesn't piss me off.

d*ck ROMAN's phone rings and he answers it.

d*ck ROMAN

Yes. Fantastic. Bring it up to my office. I'll be right there. [He hangs up.]I think we're on to something here. Stay here, will you? I'll be back in two shakes.

CHARLIE grabs her bag and hurries down the stairs.

CUT TO: The LEVIATHAN carrying the case into d*ck ROMAN's office.

CUT TO: CHARLIE hurrying down the stairs.

CUT TO: The LEVIATHAN opening the case. Inside is a bottle of Power Clean, hooked up to a b*mb. The b*mb ticks and goes off.

CUT TO: CHARLIE sprinting for the door to the building.

CUT TO: The LEVIATHAN lying on the floor with a b*rned face. d*ck ROMAN takes out a handkerchief and uses it to pick up the receiver of the telephone on the desk. His face is also b*rned.

d*ck ROMAN

Nothing issafe, apparently. Lock the building down now!

ACT FOUR

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

CHARLIE is sprinting for the doors. She reaches them to find them locked. d*ck ROMAN, whose face has healed, is riding down in the elevator. Bobby puts his hands against the doors. d*ck ROMAN and PETE continue down in the elevator. The glass of the doors shatters around Bobby's hands, but stays in place. d*ck ROMAN and PETE reach the ground floor. PETE heads for CHARLIE.

PETE

Hold on there, Charlie.

Bobby shoves PETE, who crashes into CHARLIE, knocking her into a pillar and then onto the ground. Bobby pushes d*ck ROMAN into a cabinet. CHARLIE lies on the floor holding her arm and groaning. Sam and Dean crash through the glass doors. The security guard from the foyer approaches.

CHARLIE

Dean, he's one of them!

Dean tosses borax onto PETE. PETE yells and brown smoke rises from his face. Sam punches the security guard. PETE continues to sizzle and scream. Sam picks up CHARLIE.

d*ck ROMAN

That would explain it. You're hanging with the wrong crowd, kiddo.

d*ck ROMAN starts forward as Sam and Dean move towards the door. Bobby appears in front of d*ck ROMAN.

Bobby: Not so fast, d*ck.

Bobby shoves d*ck ROMAN hard. d*ck ROMAN flies through the air into a large display picture of the Richard Roman Enterprises building and falls to the ground. Dean and Sam watch as Bobby flickers, then reappears and looks back at them before disappearing again. d*ck ROMAN growls and sits up.

d*ck ROMAN

All right, enough! Show yourself. Let's do this like real monsters.

d*ck ROMAN tries to get up, but is shoved back down.

d*ck ROMAN

Ha, ha, ha! You got to do that again. That tickled.

Sam: Dean, come on. Come on!

Sam, carrying CHARLIE, and Dean leave the building. d*ck ROMAN stands up.

CAR – NIGHT

Dean is driving, Sam is in the passenger seat and CHARLIE is in the back seat.

Dean: Charlie, talk to us. You okay?

CHARLIE

No. Why didn't you k*ll him?

Sam: 'Cause we can't yet. But we will.

CHARLIE

The really evil ones always need a special sword. Oh, okay. I'm gonna pass out now.

Bobby is now also visible in the back seat.

INT. RICHARD ROMAN ENTERPRISES – NIGHT

d*ck ROMAN walks into his office, talking angrily on his cell phone. The LEVIATHAN who picked up the case is getting to his feet.

d*ck ROMAN

Because they have it! Now get it back, before they figure the damn thing out!

d*ck ROMAN tosses his phone down. The LEVIATHAN's face is now healed.

LEVIATHAN

Please, sir, d-don't bib me.

d*ck ROMAN

Bib you?! Why would I waste a perfectly good meal?

d*ck ROMAN puts his hands on the LEVIATHAN's shoulders. His face transforms and he lunges at the LEVIATHAN's head.

ACT FIVE

EXT. BUS TERMINAL – DAY

A man entering the terminal holds the door open for CHARLIE, Dean and Sam, who are coming out. CHARLIE's arm is in a sling.

CHARLIE

Thank you.

Dean: Thanks.

CHARLIE

I left your dumb flask on the back seat, by the way. Worst good-luck charm ever.

Dean hands CHARLIE her bag.

Dean: Here you go.

CHARLIE

Thanks.

Sam: So listen, um, we can't thank you enough.

CHARLIE

Actually, you can. Never contact me again, like, ever. Deal?

CHARLIE holds out her hand and Sam shakes it.

Sam: Deal.

CHARLIE shakes hands with Dean.

Dean: Keep your head down out there, okay?

CHARLIE

This ain't the first time I've disappeared. You think my name is really Charlie Bradbury? Please. So, good luck saving the world. [She raises a hand in a Vulcan salute.]Peace out, b*tches.

CHARLIE hands her bag to the bus driver to stow.

CHARLIE

Thanks a lot.

Dean: She's kind of like the little sister I never wanted.

Sam: We got to talk.

They start to walk.

Dean: What, you mean before we get back to the car and the flask?

Sam: Exactly. So, what the hell happened back in the lobby, Dean?

Dean: Man, if I had a free sh*t, I'd have bitch-slapped the hell out of d*ck.

Sam: Yeah, but, I mean [He stops and turns to face Dean], Charlie got her freaking arm broken.

Dean: He didn't mean to do it.

Sam: Exactly. He's not in control, not about d*ck. That was vengeful-spirit crap.

Dean: I know. But it's still Bobby.

Sam: But if he really goes there, he won't be anymore, and then we won't be able to pull him back. And then what are we supposed to do?

Dean: I know. Look, let's just figure out what that thing we stole is, and then we'll figure out what the hell to do with Bobby.

Dean raises his eyebrows at Sam, then walks off. After a moment, Sam follows him.
