NOW: Dean is running down a dark street, legs pumping, lungs burning, looking over his shoulder at a snarling enemy chasing him. He falls over a homeless man's grocery cart filled with God-knows-what and says to the man, "RUN! HE'LL KILL YOU!" The man looks down at a teacup Yorkie, complete with pink bow . Dean takes off running, the dogs runs after him, barking an adorable little bark.

Scene 2 The brothers attend an autopsy; Dean holds a heart (00:01:19 - 00:03:24) view scene

Rock Ridge, Colorado, 13 hours earlier - Agents Tyler and Perry (the Winchesters, posing as FBI), meet Frank O'Brien, deceased, in the morgue. The man was only 44 and a marathon runner, according to the folder Sam is reading from. The doctor reminds them we all die sometime.

The man was only 44 and a marathon runner, according to the folder Sam is reading from. The doctor reminds them we all die sometime. Two other men died in Monmouth yesterday, says Dean, you don't think that strange? "That's Malmouth's problem," says the doc nastily. Dean says they want to see the results of the autopsy. "What autopsy?" asks the doc. "The one you're gonna do," says Dean smoothly. They all suit up for the procedure, and as the doctor cuts into the body, he looks at the icked-out expressions on the brothers' faces and asks, "First autopsy?" "Far from it," Dean assures him. Good, says the doc, because these suckers can get pretty ripe. He asks Dean for the rib cutters. Dean notices Frank had been wearing a wedding ring, while Sam sees terrible abrasions on his inside and outside of his arm. The doctor, puzzled, finds the heart to be pretty damned healthy. He asks Dean to hold the heart, which he does, grossed out. Sam smiles at his brother, silently making fun. Next second, Sam gets splashed with spleen juice, and it's Dean's turn to grin, still holding the heart in both hands. read less

Scene 3 They question the sheriff, who likes his hands CLEAN (00:03:25 - 00:06:42) view scene

Sheriff's station - Sam and Dean sit in chairs, waiting. A young deputy throws them a huge smile. Al Britton, Sheriff, comes out and chastises the deputy for keeping the federal agents waiting. "You said not to disturb you," protests the deputy. "Shoes off," orders Al before they enter his office, and all three of them walk in, shoeless. (Al has a case filled with trophies.) He cleans his hands with a huge dollop of anti-bacterial sanitizer and asks how he can help them. "Me and Frank, we... read more Sheriff's station - Sam and Dean sit in chairs, waiting.

"Shoes off," orders Al before they enter his office, and all three of them walk in, shoeless. (Al has a case filled with trophies.) He cleans his hands with a huge dollop of anti-bacterial sanitizer and asks how he can help them. "Me and Frank, we were friends," says Al, "hell, we were Gamecocks!" Dean laughs, unable to control himself. "That's our softball team's name," explains the sheriff, his face severe, "they're majestic animals. I knew Frank from high school; I just got up the strength to go see Frank this morning--he was a good man." "Yeah, big heart," agrees Dean. Sam looks at him, then asks Al if he noticed Frank behaving oddly before he died. "Yeah," says Al, "real jumpy, wouldn't answer his phone, finally sent some of my boys over to check on him and well, you know the rest." Al coughs, hard, and cleans his hands with the sanitizer again. Sam and Dean exchange glances over that. "So why do the Feds give a crap?" asks Al. "You don't really think there's a case here?" "No," says Dean, it's probably nothin', just a heart attack." "No WAY was this a heart attack," says Dean as they leave the sheriff's office. Sam agrees. All the victims went from jittery to terrified to dead within 48 hours, and had those weird scratches on their arms, too. So what can scare people to death? "What can't?" counters Dean. They decide to speak to the last person who saw Frank, his neighbor, Mark Hutchins. "I don't like the looks of those teenagers over there," says Dean. Sam turns to see a group of harmless kids, but follows Dean around them nevertheless. read less

Scene 4 The Winchesters meet Mark, Donny and Marie (00:06:43 - 00:08:59) view scene

"Tyler Perry!" exclaims Mark Hutchens, "Just like Aerosmith!" (Most folks don't catch their rock-related aliases.) He has a huge snake draped around his neck. "Yeah, small world," says Sam hastily as Dean looks around with trepidation at the man's vast array of reptiles. "Frank was watching me from his window," explains Mark. "I waved at him, but he just closed the curtains. He was totally freakin' out!" Dean nervously eyes a large reptile who is hungrily eyeing him.

"I waved at him, but he just closed the curtains. He was totally freakin' out!" Dean nervously eyes a large reptile who is hungrily eyeing him. "WIZARD OF OZ was on the other night, and Frank said that green bitch was totally out to get him," says Mark. "EVERYTHING else scared him--Al Qaeda, ferrets, artificial sweetener, those Pez dispensers with the dead little eyes--lots of stuff." Mark describes Frank in high school as a dick--he probably taped half the town's butt cheeks together, Mark's included. When Dean smiles, Mark gives him a nasty look. "Would anyone have wanted to get revenge?" asks Dean professionally. "Frank had a heart attack, right?" asks Mark, refusing to answer anymore questions. "He got BETTER," he insists, "and after what happened to his wife. . .she died, about 20 years ago, Frank was really broken up about it." Noticing Dean gazing nervously at the snake draped around his neck, Mark smiles and says, "Don't be afraid of DONNY! He's a sweetheart! It's Marie you gotta look out for." He nods toward the couch on which they're sitting. A gigantic yellow snake is slithering between them, "She SMELLS fear," adds Mark. Marie crawls over Dean's thigh as he sits like a statue, trying not to move or exude the stench of fear. read less

Scene 5 More about Jessie O'Brien; is Dean haunted? (00:09:00 - 00:10:28) view scene

Dean sits in the Impala, absently scratching his arm through his jacket. When Sam climbs in with him, he jumps. Dean shows him an article about Frank's wife, Jessie, a manic depressive who went off her meds in 1988. She disappeared. They found her two weeks later, three towns over, strung up in a motel room--suicide. Frank was working a swing shift when she died, so he didn't "help her to the other side."

Sam's sweep of Frank's apartment turned up nothing weird--but then he realizes Dean's DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT! He also passes by their Hotel, the Churchbird, because he doesn't want to take a chance on making a left hand turn into oncoming traffic. Sam realizes his EMF meter has gone crazy in his pocket, and he takes it out and moves it over Dean. Red lights flash and it buzzes wildly. "Am I haunted?" asks Dean, freaked out. "AM I HAUNTED?" read less

Scene 6 If I get ghost sickness, can I stay home from work? (00:10:29 - 00:13:34) view scene

Sam, on the phone with Bobby, tells him, "Keep lookin'." He passes by a beautiful mural on a wall of their hotel and heads for the Impala, where Dean lies on the front seat, orchestrating the beat to "Eye of the Tiger" on the radio. Sam bangs on the roof of the car. Dean sits up with a start, exits the car and shows Sam scratch marks on his inner arm, just above the elbow bend.

He passes by a beautiful mural on a wall of their hotel and heads for the Impala, where Dean lies on the front seat, orchestrating the beat to "Eye of the Tiger" on the radio. Sam bangs on the roof of the car. Dean sits up with a start, exits the car and shows Sam scratch marks on his inner arm, just above the elbow bend. Sam hands Dean a box of donuts, which Dean whiffs and throws into the car. "I just talked to Bobby, and you're not gonna like it," says Sam. "It's ghost sickness. Some cultures believe that ghosts can infect the living with a disease, which is why they stopped displaying bodies in houses and started takin' them off to funeral homes. Symptoms are you get anxious, then scared, then really scared, then your heart gives out. Sound familiar?" We haven't seen a ghost in weeks," Dean reminds him. "I doubt you caught it from a ghost," says Sam, "once the spirit infects that first person, ghost sickness can spread like any sickness, a cough, handshake, whatever, it's like the flu. Frank O'Brien was the first to die, which means he was probably the first infected, patient zero. Frank was in Malmouth over the weekend, softball tournament, which is where he must have infected the other two victims." (Here we get a flashback to a bunch of guys in Cornjerker and Gamecocks uniforms drinking beer, double dipping chips, having a grand time.) "So a ghost infected Frank," says Dean, "and I got it from his corpse? So now, what, I have 48 hours till my heart stops?" "More like 24," says Sam reluctantly. "Super," says Dean. "Why me, why not you--you got hit with the spleen juice?" Sam and Bobby have a theory about that, too: "Seems all three victims, a Vice Principal, a bouncer, a bully, shared a certain personality type--basically, they were all dicks." "So you're sayin' I'm a dick?" asks Dean, eyebrows upraised. "It's not just that," says Sam, "all three victims used fear as a weapon, the disease is just returning the favor." "I don't scare people," protests Dean. "All we DO is scare people," says Sam. "Then you're a dick, too," says Dean. "Apparently I'm not," counters Sam. "Whatever," says Dean, "how do we stop it?" "We gank the ghost that started all this," says Sam, "we do that, the disease should clear up." "You think it's Frank's wife?" asks Dean. "Who knows why she killed herself." says Sam. "What are you doing, waiting out here, anyway?" "Our room's on the fourth floor," says Dean, "It's. . .high." "I'll see if I can move us down to the first," says Sam. Dean thanks him, climbs back in the car, looks at the donuts, and puts them aside. (He MUST be sick! Dean, not eating?) read less

Scene 7 Dean hallucinates (00:13:35 - 00:14:23) view scene

Dean sits at a desk in their hotel room, doing research. He can hear the second hand of the clock passing by, very loudly. He reads that people afflicted by ghost sickness have hallucinations and vomiting. Words on the page start to suddenly go bold: YOU'RE DYING. AGAIN. LOSER. YOU GONNA CRY? BABY GONNA CRY? The passing seconds on the clock pound in his head. The screen goes black and we hear the sound of a shattering clock.

Scene 8 Dean, a clue unto himself (00:14:24 - 00:15:35) view scene

Dean throws up a piece of wood. "We've been completely ignoring the biggest clue we have--you," says Sam. "I don't wanna be a clue," protests Dean, staring at the wood chip. "The disease is trying to tell us something," says Sam. "What, wood chips?" asks Dean. "Exactly!" says Sam. read less

Scene 9 Scaredy-cat Dean; ghost starts the machine (00:15:36 - 00:20:24) view scene

Dean drives the Impala to the lumber mill. "I'm not goin' in there," he tells Sam, who counters, "I need backup, and you're all I got--you're going in, Dean." The latter takes a giant pull from a pint of booze, shakes his head and says, "Let's DO this!" He looks around the deserted mill and says, "A little spooky, in't it?"

Inside the mill, Sam's EMF meter goes off, but Dean says, "It's not gonna work with me around, is it?" Sam, resigned, agrees. He bends down and picks up a wedding band inscribed, "To Frank, love, Jessie." What was Frank doing here? they wonder. The come to a group of lockers and hear banging inside one. Sam reaches for the hand on the door, lip-syncs, "On three," and opens it. A cat streaks out. Dean screams, an open-mouthed, girly, panic-stricken scream that has Sam staring at him like he's bonkers. "That was scary!" says Dean, chasing after Sam when he just walks away. In a room littered with paper and desks, Sam finds the employee badge of Luther Garland from 1989. Dean finds a beautiful drawing of Frank's wife, Jessie. When he pulls at it, the drawing tears. The mill machinery abruptly roars to life and the brothers spot the ghost of a heavyset man with his back toward them. "Hey!" calls Sam, startling Dean, sending him running for the exit. The ghost, Luther Garland, turns, his face a bloody mess. He runs at Sam, who shoots him with a rock salt bullet. Outside, crouched behind the Impala, Dean rapidly finishes off his bottle of booze. Sam comes running out, Luther's badge in his hand. "Looks like we got the right place," he says, gasping for air. read less

Peaceful Pines Assisted Living Facility - Dean frets over their fake FBI badges; what if they get busted? they could go to jail? Sam shushes him, orders him to calm down and take a deep breath, but none of it works on Dean's nerves. "Don't scratch," Sam reminds him.

In the deserted cafeteria, they meet John Garland, Luther's brother, who asks to see their FBI badges. This further unnerves Dean. As Garland studies them, Dean says, "Those are real. Obviously." Sam clears his throat warningly, but Dean blathers on, "I mean, who would pretend to be an FBI agent? That's just nutty!" Sam kicks him. Garland hands back the badges. "What do you want to know?" he asks. Upon hearing that the cause of death listed is physical trauma, Garland says he doesn't agree, but who cares what an old man thinks? Sam assures him they just want the truth about his brother--please. Garland takes his brother's badge and looks at his photo. "Everybody was scared of Luther," he says. "He was too big, too mean-lookin', just too. . .different." We see flashbacks of this giant man intimidating everyone in his path, except Jessie O'Brien. "Didn't matter if he was the kindest man I ever knew. . .didn't matter that he never hurt no one." Luther takes a kitten out of a box and cuddles it, perhaps the ghost of the one what terrified Dean. Beginning to cry, Garland continues: "A lot of people failed Luther. I was one of 'em. I was a widower, with three young'uns, and I told myself there was nothin' I could do." Sam shows Garland the drawing found at the mill. "Jessie O'Brien," says Garland--her man Frank killed Luther." "How do you know that?" asks Sam. "Everybody knows," says Garland. "They just don't talk about it." Flashback to Jessie sitting at a desk at an ancient computer, Luther handing her a pencil she'd dropped in his meaty paw. "Jessie was a receptionist at the mill. She was always real nice to Luther, and he had a crush on her. Frank didn't like it, and when Jessie went missing. . .Frank was sure Luther had done something to her. Turns out the old gal killed herself. Frank didn't know that. Flashback to a scene in which Frank enters the mill to find Luther sitting at a desk behind which hang many drawings of Jessie. Frank strikes Luther in the head with the butt of his gun and ties him to the back of his truck with a length of chain around his neck. "They found Luther with a chain wrapped around his neck," says Garland, "he was dragged up and down the stretch outside that plant until he was past dead." "O'Brien was never arrested?" asks Dean. "I screamed to every cop in town," says Garland. They wouldn't look into Frank, he was the pillar of the community. My brother was just a damn freak." "You must have hated Frank O'Brien," says Sam. "For a long time," agrees Garland, "but life's too short for hate, son. Frank wasn't thinkin' straight--his wife had vanished, he was terrified. It's a damn shame he had to put Luther through the same, but that's fear--it spreads and spreads." read less

Exiting the facility, Dean says, pointing to his arms, "Now I know what these are--road rash--and I'm guessin' Luther swallowed wood chips when he was bein' dragged down that road." "Makes sense," agrees Sam, now speaking to his brother across the Impala, "you're experiencing his death in slow motion."

"Luther was road-hauled--his body was ripped to pieces,"explains Sam. "He was probably scattered all over that road. There's no way we're going to find all the remains." "You're kidding me," says Dean. "We'll just have to figure something else out," says Sam. Dean stares at him, eyes as big as baseballs. "You know what?" he says, "screw this! Come on, Sam, what're we doing? Hunting a ghost? Who does that? Us! And that's exactly why our lives suck! We hunt monsters, what the HELL! Normal people see a monster and they run, but not us, no no, we search out things that want to kill us--or EAT us! You know who does that? CRAZY PEOPLE! We are insane!" He begins to pace and goes on, "Then there's the skeevy hotels rooms, and the bad diner food, and the truck stop waitress with the bizarre rash, I mean who wants this life, Sam, seriously? Do you actually like being stuck in a car with me eight hours a day? I don't think so? I drive too fast and listen to the same five albums over and over and over again, and I sing along, I'm annoying, I know that. You, you're gassy! You eat half a burrito and you get TOXIC! I mean, you know what?" He tosses Sam the keys. "You can forget it! Stay away from me, Sam, because I am done with it--I'm done with the monsters and the hellhounds and the ghost sickness and the damn apocalypse--I'm out, I'm done, quittin'!" Dean walks off, leaving Sam to explode a frustrated sigh. Dean loosens his collar, sweating. He hears a growl behind him and turns. It's there again, the pink-bowed, killer Yorkie! read less

The latter shows him a book--in Japanese--and speaks some fluent words in the language. "Show off," teases Sam. They're perhaps dealing with a buruburu ghost, which infects people with fear. The way to kill it is to burn the bones, which won't work with Luthor. "The buruburu is born of fear," explains Bobby, "and the book says we can kill it with fear."

"OW!" cries Dean. "Frank O'Brien was my friend!" says the sheriff, "so he made a mistake, so I didn't bust him--so what? And you're gonna bring me down over THAT? No, sir!"

"No!" cries Dean. "Yes!" she chirps. "It's me, Lilith!" She hugs his arm, he grimaces. "Oh, I missed you so much! It's time to go back now." He slides out of her grip. "You're NOT real!" declares Dean, pointing at her with the bible in his hand. "What's the matter, Dean?" she asks, offended. "Don't you remember all the fun you had down there? You DO remember? Four months is like 40 years in hell. Like doggy years--and you remember every single one!" Dean falls to his knees, in terrible pain. "You're NOT real!" he repeats raggedly. She pulls him up to look her in the eyes. "It doesn't matter," she says, eyes going white, "you're still gonna die! You're STILL gonna BURN!" "Why me?" he asks. "Why did I get infected?" Hands on hips, she replies, "Silly goose, you know why, Dean--listen to your heart. Ba-boom! Ba-boom! Ba-boom! Ba-boom! Ba-boom! BA-BOOM! Dean falls to the floor, clutching his chest. Mill - Sam and Luther are fighting crazily, with Sam trying to reach something and Luther grabbing one of his legs and pulling him away from it. He begins to bang Sam's head against the ground, over and over. Shaking both her fists, Lilith advances on Dean: "BABOOM! BABOOM! BABOOM! He's very close to the end, gasping for air, hand over his pounding heart. Sam finally succeeds in looping a chain over Luther's thick neck. "BOBBY, PUNCH IT!" shouts Sam. Driving the Impala, Bobby does as ordered, road-hauling poor Luther one more time. "BABOOM!!! BABOOM!!! BABOOM!!! screams Lilith, advancing on Dean, who has both hands pressed to his heart. Bobby drives Luther's struggling ghost around the outside of the mill. Lilith watches as Dean takes one of his final breaths before his heart stops. Luther's ghost dissipates into nothing, starting from his feet and ending with his head (terrific piece of special effects here). The mill equipment slowly grinds to a halt. Bobby stops the Impala and looks over his shoulder, breathing a sigh of relief. Dean appears dead, his eyes wide open. He takes in a harsh, shuddery breath, coughing. He checks his arms--clean! He lies back, exhausted.. read less

Scene 17 Can you catch flies with those lies, Dean? (00:39:06 - 00:40:46) view scene

Mill, outside - Bobby hands out beers to celebrate their victory. "You guys road-hauled a ghost--with a chain," states Dean, disbelievingly. "IRON chain," says Sam, "that's why the spell worked." Bobby grins. "That's a new one," says Dean. "It's what he was most afraid of," says Sam, "it was pretty brutal, though." "On the up side, I'm still alive," Dean reminds them, "so, go, team!" Dean assures them he's feeling fine. "Ya sure, Dean?" asks Bobby, "'Cause this line of work can get awful... read more Mill, outside - Bobby hands out beers to celebrate their victory.

"Ya sure, Dean?" asks Bobby, "'Cause this line of work can get awful scary." "I'm FINE!" says Dean. "You wanna go huntin'? I'll hunt--I'll kill anything!" "He's ADORABLE!" says Bobby. Sam laughs hard. Bobby takes his leave and tells them to drive safe. Sam thanks him. As Bobby leaves, we get a magnificent shot of mountains and forests. "So what did you see, near the end?" asks Sam. "Besides a cop beatin' my ass?" asks Dean. "Seriously," says Sam. Dean looks up at his brother, and sees his eyes turn yellow. "Howler monkeys," lies Dean, "a whole roomful of them. Those things creep the hell out of me." "Right," says Sam. "No, just the usual stuff," says Dean, nothin' I couldn't handle." Dean takes a swallow of beer, not looking at his brother. read less

Scene 18 Jensen Ackles Lip-Syncs Eye of the Tiger (00:40:47 - 00:42:08) view scene

When Jared Padalecki failed to knock on the top of the car to alert his co-star, Jensen Ackles, to continue with their scene, "Eye of the Tiger" continued to play. Jensen took the opportunity to lip-sync the song (brilliantly, I might add) and act out the words as he climbed out of the Impala's window and on top of the car. He scratched at his forearm, pointed to the sky, and in general did such a magnificent job, this was watched on YouTube and elsewhere with great glee and enjoyment for days... read more When Jared Padalecki failed to knock on the top of the car to alert his co-star, Jensen Ackles, to continue with their scene, "Eye of the Tiger" continued to play.
