7.18 Party On, Garth Air Date: 30 March 2012 NOW EXT. WOODS – NIGHT A teenage boy, CHRIS, is telling a story to people around a campfire. CHRIS Long ago, in these very woods, lived an old woman by the name… of Jenny Greentree. CHRIS shines the flashlight onto his face from under his chin. Girl: Whooo! The camera pans out and we see there are four people around the campfire – CHRIS, the Girl sitting next to him, and another teenage boy, RAY, and girl, CHLOE, sitting close together on the other side of the fire. CHRIS Forced out after her family was killed in a fire. She lost everything. Some say, even her humanity. RAY That is so[i]sad. CHLOE Shut up! CHRIS It's a true story, Ray. Look. CHRIS shines a flashlight onto the letters "JG" carved into a nearby tree. CHRIS She carved her initials into that tree… right before she died. Girl: Those are not her initials. We see the scene from a distance, as if through someone else's eyes. CHLOE So, how'd she die? CHRIS One night, a blizzard hit. She's cold, she's hungry, nowhere to go, no one to turn to. Jenny Greentree froze to death… right beneath that tree. And her evil spirit has haunted these woods ever since. CHRIS shines the flashlight onto his face from under his chin and grins creepily. RAY gooses CHLOE and she jumps. RAY laughs. CHLOE Don't do that! Suddenly a bottle smashes against the tree. The Girl screams and everybody jumps. Another teenage boy, TREVOR, staggers up, laughing drunkenly. CHRIS rolls his eyes. TREVOR You guys should have seen your faces! CHRIS What the hell, Trevor? That's not funny, man! TREVOR To you! RAY [Stands up]Yo. You drive here, man? TREVOR Oh, please. Look, why – why don't you take – take my phone, okay? Call Dad and bust me, why don't you? RAY No, I'm just saying, you're wasted. You can't just drive… TREVOR Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I heard ya. [Laughs uneasily]What was that? RAY What? No. Trevor, let's just sit down, okay, we'll – TREVOR Shhh. You – you don't hear that? We see the scene from a distance again. RAY Trevor, there's nothing there, all right? Let's just sit down, and we'll… TREVOR What the…? You gotta run. You gotta run! TREVOR runs away. RAY Trevor! CHLOE I'm sorry, but what is your brother on? There is a scream in the distance. RAY Trevor! RAY runs after TREVOR. CUT TO: RAY walking in the woods, looking for TREVOR. RAY Trevor! Trev, come on! Stop being a tool! RAY sees TREVOR sitting against a tree. RAY Come on, Trevor, let's head back. Dude. TREVOR is dead. His face is cut and bleeding and there is a large hole in his abdomen. SUPERNATURAL ACT ONE [i]EXT. STREET – DAY Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" plays as a vehicle pulls up outside "Burger Heaven."

He pushes a button on his cell phone. CHLOE (voice message) Ray, where are you? [i][RAY drinks from another bottle.][i]You should be with your family right now. Don't do anything stupid. Please. RAY hits a button to stop the message and takes another drink. He gets out of the car, carrying a rifle. EXT. WOODS – NIGHT RAY walks through the woods with his rifle. He sees a long-haired woman in a white dress through the trees and runs towards her. He pauses and looks around, then screams as he is dragged upwards. His legs shake and there is the sound of flesh tearing. Blood runs down his legs and onto his boots and the ground. RAY goes still. EXT. NIGHT GARTH is talking on his phone in front of a food van that reads "Guanaco Salvadoran Cuisine." GARTH (on phone): Yeah, I clocked out. Put it to bed. Problem solved. And I'm headed your way, so, uh... fire up that hot tub. [Chuckles]No, I heart you[i]more. GARTH gets into his vehicle and opens a take-out container. Voice ON Police Radio [i]Abandoned vehicle out by Widow's Peak. Uh, we got another body up here. Guy's torn to shreds. GARTH What?! No way. How is that possible? I Garthed her! CAR – NIGHT Dean is talking on the phone in the passenger seat. Sam is driving. Dean (on phone): All right, well, call us if he wakes up or, you know, anything. Yeah, fine. Thanks for your help, Meg. Dean hangs up. Dean: What a bitch. Sam: So, Cas is the Same, then? Dean: Yeah, down to the drool. Sam: Huh. Dean: By the way, how is your custard? Sam: It's all right. It's getting better. Just wish it wasn't like the damn tape from "The Ring." I mean, I feel like I'm okay 'cause I passed on the crazy. Dean: No, you didn't. You heard what Cas said. Dean's phone rings. Sam: Let's – let's not. You know what? Dean answers the phone. The scene alternates between Dean and Sam in the car and GARTH sitting in his vehicle. Dean (on phone): Hello. GARTH (on phone): Hey, Dean. It's Garth. Dean (on phone): Wait. W-who is this? GARTH (on phone): Garth. Garth Fitzgerald the Fourth. We worked together on that demon thing? You owe me one? Dean (on phone): Oh, yeah. Yeah, how you doing, Garth? GARTH (on phone): I'm ready to cash in that chip, Bra. There's something brewing in Junction City, Kansas. INT. MORGUE – DAY A CORONER leads Dean and Sam in their FBI suits into the room. CORONER Well, this is it. Gentlemen... this is Corporal Brown. GARTH, wearing an Army uniform, is standing next to the body. GARTH Corporal James Brown. I'm shipping off to the AF mañana. I'm here to pay respects to my cousin as I will not be able to attend the funeral. CORONER That must be terrible for your family. Losing two brothers so fast. Dean looks at Sam and Sam looks at GARTH, to whom this is obviously news. GARTH Yeah. Yeah. My aunt – she's, uh... she's real broken up about it. Sam: Hey, Doc, can we see both files, please? CORONER Mm-hmm. The CORONER's phone rings. CORONER Ah. [Hands Sam a file]My wife. I'll, uh, be in my office. Dean: Great. The CORONER leaves the room. Sam: You didn't say they were brothers. GARTH Dude, I just found out about the other corpse, and... started moving quick. I'm sucking up info as I go. Dean: What, are you allergic to a suit? GARTH No. I just... look good in a uniform. Sam reads the file. Sam: Yep. Same cause of death. Sam walks over to a computer. GARTH Right, uh, gutted at night in the woods, where legend says that the ghost of Jenny Greentree roams. Dean takes out an EMF meter. GARTH Oh, uh, I already scanned for EM... [The EMF reader makes noise.]F. Oh. Um... I guess mine must be broken again. Dean: All right. I'm reading your mail. Uh, ghost of Jenny... whatever? GARTH Greentree. That's just it. I torched her bones. Dean: Yeah, well, maybe she's got something still laying around. Sam is searching online for "Junction City, Ray, Trevor McAnn." He opens a web page for the Midwestern Brewing Company, which lists Thighslapper Ale, Headspinner Amber Ale and Hardhead Imperial Stout. GARTH Highly doubtful. Chick was homeless. Dean looks under the sheet at the body and makes a face. GARTH Plus, is it me, or is this less evil spirit, more monster chow? Dean: A werewolf? GARTH Except, uh, the witness said that whatever was chasing victim numero uno was invisible. Dean: Uh… [Chuckles]So, invisible ghost werewolf? GARTH Why'd you think I called for backup? Sam: Hey. Either of you ever heard of Thighslapper Ale? GARTH Is that a stripper or a beverage? Dean: Beverage for douchebags. Sam: Uh, number one microbrew in the Pacific Northwest. GARTH But we're in Kansas. Dean: Yeah, I rest my case. What's your point? Sam: The owner is the dad to the dead brothers. GARTH Right. I'll can the uniform, go Fed. See you at the brewery in 40. GARTH leaves. Dean: He grows on you. INT. MIDWESTERN BREWING COMPANY – DAY A Woman walks through the brewery and opens the door for Sam, Dean and GARTH, who are all wearing suits. Woman: Agents. I'm Marie. I'm a manager. Dean: Thanks for coming in on a Sunday. MARIE We want to help. Anything we can do. MARIE leads them inside. Dean: Oh. So all this is your dad's, huh? MARIE And his friend – Randy Baxter. They own the place together now. Sam: Uh..."now"? MARIE Well, since Dale died. Man (V.O): Hold on, hold on, hold on. You think I just come in late… The Man is standing in an office, lecturing a TEENAGE Boy. Another man is leaning against the wall. Man: …whenever I want? TEENAGE Boy I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again. MARIE The, uh, "charming" Randy Baxter. Dean: Mm. RANDY BAXTER Tell you what – congratulations. You're headed for the graveyard shift. Be one second late, and you're fired. TEENAGE Boy Yes, sir. MARIE He's actually a really nice guy. It's just not easy being the axman. Dean: So true. GARTH My comrades got you covered, so if you'll excuse me. Sam: Uh, yeah, I'll go with you. Sam and GARTH walk into the office. Sam: Mr. McAnn? Uh, we'll be brief. I promise. GARTH Mr. McAnn, is there any reason to believe your sons may have had enemies? Mr. MCANN We were told they were animal attacks. Sam: We just need to explore every possibility. Mr. MCANN They got lots of friends. No. Sam: Well, do they work here with you? Like Marie does. Uh, could someone have been jealous? Mr. MCANN N-no. Marie's the only one. Oh – no. Th– there's no... Uh... RANDY BAXTER Jim. It's okay. It's okay. [to Sam and GARTH]Let him get some rest. I'll answer your questions. Sam: Of course. JIM MCANN leaves the room. CUT TO: MARIE and Dean walking through the brewery. MARIE He blamed himself when Dale died, and now this. Dean: Why did he blame himself? MARIE Well, Dale was sensitive. But what do you do – watch them 24/7? You can't blame Dale's friends. Dean: But your dad still feels bad. MARIE And it doesn't help Dale's wife is suing us. Dean: Really? Why? MARIE She's angry and grieving, and this is America? CUT TO: Sam and GARTH talking to RANDY BAXTER in the office. RANDY BAXTER I knew Ray and Trevor. Hell, I'm godfather to all four of Jim's kids. Ray and Trevor loved their fun, but they'd never do anything crazy. GARTH No rugrats of your own? RANDY BAXTER Just Jim's. They'd borrow my car, raid my fridge. Sam: Now, the two of you started this company with a third partner. Right? RANDY BAXTER Yeah. Dale. [The camera pans in on two framed photographs of the three men.]He passed away a few months ago. GARTH Passed away in the woods or...? RANDY BAXTER He took his own life. GARTH Oh. Sorry. RANDY BAXTER Well, he had problems for a long time. Look, this is just a nightmare. Sam notices a wooden box with Japanese characters written on it next to a tray of drinks behind the desk. RANDY BAXTER First Dale, now this. This was gonna be our big year. We're selling Thighslapper to one of the largest distributors in the US. It's been in the works for months. News is gonna hit public pretty soon. GARTH Well, that's the brass ring, huh? RANDY BAXTER Given other circumstances, yeah, we'd be celebrating right about now. INT. HOUSE – DAY We see a close-up of a family photo of JIM MCANN, RAY, TREVOR, MARIE, another woman, LILLIAN, and a Young Girl on LILLIAN's lap. LILLIAN is carrying a bottle of vodka in the kitchen. She pours some into one of two glasses of orange juice and takes a sip, then carries both glasses to the next room, where the Young Girl is drawing at a table. LILLIAN That looks great, sweetie. LILLIAN sets both glasses on the table. There is a knock at the door. JIM MCANN Hello? Woman: There's Grandpa. Hi. LILLIAN walks to the entryway and hugs JIM MCANN. The Young Girl picks up one of the glasses of orange juice and takes a drink. From her face it is clear that she picked up the glass with the vodka. Young Girl Oops. LILLIAN I'll get some snacks. You should eat. JIM MCANN Yeah. LILLIAN Sit, Dad. The Young Girl giggles. JIM MCANN Hey, what you drawing? Young Girl My world. The Young Girl giggles as she draws. She looks up and sees something move through the air and then a long-haired woman in a white dress walk into the entryway. The Young Girl gets up and looks around the entryway, then walks into the kitchen. LILLIAN is making sandwiches. The Young Girl can see the long-haired woman in the white dress standing behind LILLIAN. JIM MCANN walks into the kitchen. JIM MCANN What is it, sweetie? The Young Girl points. JIM MCANN can see only LILLIAN behind the counter. Woman: What is it? The Young Girl continues to point. LILLIAN turns and gasps as she sees the woman in the white dress. The Young Girl screams as LILLIAN turns to try to get away. The woman in the white dress puts her fist through LILLIAN's back. JIM MCANN grabs the Young Girl and turns her face away. JIM MCANN Lillian! JIM MCANN can only see LILLIAN, with her back arched and her arms outstretched. The camera angle changes to show LILLIAN from the front with the woman in the white dress behind her. LILLIAN looks down to see a hand protruding through her body beneath her shirt. She falls to the floor. ACT TWO INT. MOTEL – NIGHT GARTH is working on an EMF reader. Dean is sitting on a sofa reading a journal. Dean: There's a million things with claws go bump in the night. Sam is sitting at the table using the laptop. Dean: Once you throw in "invisible," the number goes down. Dean picks up a motel card on the table next to him. Dean: "Afternoon Delights"? Really, Garth? Don't you think this place is a little, uh... GARTH Uh, you want a nice hot tub after a day at the office. It's the little things. I feel sad for those brewery dudes. Spend your life beautifying the world through beer. First a partner offs himself. Dean drinks from his flask. GARTH Now two kids get ganked by unknown freakadeek. Sam: According to this, Dale wasn't just a partner. [The laptop screen shows an article on the Midwestern Brewing Company.]He was also the brewmaster. Dean: "Brewmaster"? Sam: He was widely considered a genius. Dean: All right, that's it. [He gets up.]No microbrew is worth… [He puts his flask down on the counter near GARTH and the EMF reader starts to make noise.]...what was it – eight Food Magazine[i]awards? [He takes beer bottles out of the fridge.]Beer's not food. It's... [He puts a bottle down for GARTH.]...whatever water is. Dean gives Sam a bottle and inspects the label on his own bottle. Dean: Hmm. Thighslapper. [He takes a drink.]Wow, that's actually awesome. Damn it, I'm not even mad anymore. Dean and Sam watch GARTH drink the entire contents of his bottle and shake the last few drops into his mouth. GARTH belches. Dean: Wow. Party on, Garth. GARTH I don't even usually drink beer. It messes with my depth perception. [He belches again and hiccups.]Especially when I skinny-dip. [Sam and Dean look at each other.]Hey, you guys want to hear a joke? Sam: Listen to this. This is something interesting. GARTH laughs. Sam: Garth, are you drunk? GARTH Dude, I just... drank a whole beer. Of course I'm drunk. [He belches again.] Dean: Something interesting? Sam: Right. Uh... GARTH Hey, can I have some more Thighslapper? Sam: No. Dean: No. Coffee for you, Tara Reid. GARTH Coffee with kalhúa in it? Sam: So, it says that Dale actually left the company two weeks before he died. Or... maybe he got pushed out 'cause he didn't want to sell. I mean, Baxter said the deal's been in the works for months. Dean: That would explain the widow. She's suing. Maybe Dale had a bone to pick, and he's still picking it. GARTH Right. So, maybe he's a spirito malo. Voice ON Police Radio [i]Unit to McAnn residence. 698 Washburn. Sam: "McAnn residence," as in Jim McAnn? GARTH As in, let's hope for their sake our spirito ain't made it out of the woods. All right. Let's go check it. Sam: Uh, you two go. I'm gonna visit the widow. Dean looks at Sam, who smiles at him. EXT. MCANN HOUSE – NIGHT Dean (V.O): Well? GARTH (V.O): Place is clean. INT. MCANN HOUSE – NIGHT GARTH and Dean are standing in the entryway of the house. GARTH My EMF is a nada. [He takes another EMF reader out of his jacket pocket.]So is this one. Dean Is that mine? GARTH Yeah. I borrowed it in case mine's broke. Dean Oh. GARTH So, uh... we still on invisible werewolf? Dean Maybe, maybe not. I can't get Tess to talk, but I get the feeling she saw something. We see the Young Girl, TESS, sitting on a sofa with JIM MCANN and MARIE on either side of her. GARTH I'm gonna take a run at her. Dean A what? GARTH Trust me. My special lady has twins. [Goes into the living room]Mr. McAnn? Dean "Special lady?" [He follows GARTH.] GARTH Do you mind if we speak to Tess alone for just a sec? It would really help. JIM MCANN Honey, we'll... we'll be right out there, okay? GARTH Thanks. JIM MCANN and MARIE leave the room. GARTH Hi, Tess. [He sits down on the coffee table in front of TESS.]You want to tell me what you saw tonight? TESS shakes her head. GARTH Or maybe you'll talk to... [Raises a hand in a sock puppet and speaks in a high-pitched voice]…Mr. Fizzles! [Waves the puppet around]I'm your friend! Yay! Dean Garth. Why don't we put the sock away? GARTH [in his Mr Fizzles voice]Mr. Fizzles wants to help Tess. He wants to listen. Dean Mr. Fizzles is gonna go where the sun don't shine. TESS It was a monster. GARTH [in his Mr Fizzles voice]I believe you, Tess. Did it have claws? TESS nods. Dean How come you were the only one that could see it, Tess? TESS shrugs. GARTH [in his Mr Fizzles voice]What else, Tess? TESS shrugs. GARTH [in his Mr Fizzles voice]You sure? 'Cause Mr. Fizzles can sense when you're being a... [deep voice]liar. Dean All right. That's – that's enough... Mr. Fizzles. TESS I drank a grown-up drink. Dean Uh, grown-up like, uh, coffee? [TESS shakes her head.]Well, you mean alcohol? TESS It was an accident. Don't let them arrest me, Mr. Fizzles. GARTH looks at Dean and points Mr Fizzles at him. GARTH and Mr Fizzles nod. INT. DALE's WIDOW's HOUSE – NIGHT Sam: Your husband did a lot of traveling, huh? DALE's WIDOW He went to all kinds of exotic places for the best ingredients. Sam: Right. I've tried his work. It's – it's great. Um, I hear you're not exactly on the best of terms with Dale's old partners. DALE's WIDOW Well, they sold his company right out from under him. It's not about money. It's about... It was his baby, you know? Sam: You sound pretty upset about it. DALE's WIDOW I'm furious. I hate them. But then I think how Dale was. Sam: What do you mean? DALE's WIDOW His friends left him behind, but you know what he said? "I'm gonna send them a gift that shows I forgive them." Sam: Do you have any idea what he sent them? DALE's WIDOW Bottle of sake. From one of his trips. In a... gorgeous box with writing. He was so careful with it. Wouldn't let me touch it. CAR – NIGHT GARTH is driving. Dean So, kid in the woods sees something that nobody else does. Then Tess sees a monster, and Jim doesn't. What's the thread? GARTH Hmm. Well, certain mutants see infrared. Dean "Grown-up drinks." Tess chugged her mom's, and vic number one was plastered. GARTH Right. So... Whoa. Monster you got to be drunk to see. Cool! Also... hard to fight. Dean takes a drink from his flask. Dean Ahh. Just getting in the zone. You are strictly on wine coolers. GARTH Hey, I love those. Anything sweet. [Chuckles]Whoo! [Chuckles] Dean takes another drink. GARTH So, uh, what's with the Grody flask anyway? Lucky charm? Dean It's Bobby's. FLASHBACK to Dean putting the flask down on the counter at the motel and the EMF reader reacting. Dean (in flashback) No microbrew is worth – what was it – eight... GARTH Hmm. Really? 'Cause, um... You think there's a possibility that Bobby's riding your wave? Dean No, we gave him a hunter's wake. GARTH Yeah, I-I burned my cousin Brandon, and he stayed stuck. And – and – and they got ghosts in India, and they cremate everybody over there. It's just instinct, but maybe there is[i]EMF around here. It just ain't the job. Dean All right, we're not gonna talk about this, okay? Not in the middle of work. GARTH Sorry. Dean's phone rings. GARTH Just hope that fire did the trick. Dean (on phone): Hey, Sam. Yeah. Got it. We're on our way. [i]EXT. BREWERY – NIGHT GARTH is in the car, which is parked outside the brewery. Sam picks the lock on the brewery door and he and Dean enter. INT. BREWERY – NIGHT Sam and Dean walk through the brewery to the office. Sam: Here it is. Sam picks up the wooden box with Japanese writing, sets it on the desk and opens it. Inside is a fancy box decorated with a face and more Japanese characters, and inside that box is the bottle of saki. The seal is broken. Sam: Oh. [He shakes the bottle.]Wait a second. Someone's been Sampling the goods. Dean Oh, you don't say? [He looks up.]Hey, check it out. God, I love paranoid people. The camera angle changes as if the scene was being recorded by a security camera. Dean [Motioning towards the computer]See if you can get on. Sam: Okay. Uh... Sam brings up an image of himself and Dean behind the desk. Sam: Huh! Dean and Sam wave at the camera. Sam: All right, so, first death was, what, uh, four months ago? Yeah? Dean Mm-hmm, and, uh, Trevor McAnn. Patient zero. Sam: So, what did he let out of that bottle? Sam plays the security footage, which shows JIM MCANN and RANDY BAXTER in the office, the cleaner, and TREVOR. Sam: Nothing there. Dean That we can see. The security footage shows TREVOR taking some bottles from the office. Dean puts a bottle and a glass on the desk and claps Sam on the shoulder. Sam: What, are you kidding me? Sam: Tick-tock. Sam pours himself a glass of whiskey. Dean Ugh. [He puts the cap back on a bottle.] Sam: I mean, can you even get drunk anymore? It's kind of like, uh, drinking a vitamin for you, right? Dean Shut up. [He sniffs another bottle.]Holy... [He drinks from the bottle and coughs.] Dean pours himself a glass of a clear liqueur and clinks glasses with Sam. They both drink. Sam pours himself another glass of whiskey. They both drain their glasses. Dean All right. Party time. Sam: Okay. Dean Rewind and go. Sam plays the footage of TREVOR. They can now see the long-haired woman in the white dress standing in the office. Sam: So, he – he let that thing out of the box, and it must have just followed him to the place with all the thingies. Dean Yes. Yes. That's smart. I'm actually kind of drunk. [Looks at his empty glass]What is this? [Pours himself another glass]Me likey. I miss these talks. Dean takes a drink, but spits it out again as RANDY BAXTER comes into the office. RANDY BAXTER What the hell?! Dean Oh, man. Sam: Uh... Dean Turn it off. Turn it off. RANDY BAXTER FBI, huh? You know what? [Pushes buttons on his phone]You can save it for the cops. Sam: Whoa, whoa, Mr. Baxter, listen. If – if you just let us explain, you might not – RANDY BAXTER Aah! RANDY BAXTER falls to the floor. GARTH has Tasered him. Voice ON RANDY BAXTER's PHONE 911. What is your emergency? Hello? Do you need assistance? ACT THREE EXT. STREET OUTSIDE JAPANESE RESTAURANT – NIGHT A JAPANESE Man in a restaurant uniform is reading the Japanese writing on the saki box. Sam and Dean are holding coffees. JAPANESE Man Anata ga marou mono... Wa anata ka ra mo morau. It says, "what you took will be taken from you." Like, eye for an eye. You with me? Sam nods. JAPANESE Man Kono bin niwa syoujou zuke no sake ga hu-in sarete iru. Where'd you guys get this anyway? Sam: Why? Is – is there, uh, something the matter? JAPANESE Man Well, you're not superstitious, are you? [He gives the box to Sam.] Dean: Not at all. Sam: No, no. JAPANESE Man Because...this says the bottle inside contains a Shojo. Dean: What's a... Shojo? JAPANESE Man An alcohol spirit. Look, it's just an old myth. I wouldn't worry about it. But they are not known for being friendly. Someone inside the restaurant shouts in Japanese and the JAPANESE Man shouts in return. JAPANESE Man I got to go. Dean: Oh. Uh, hey, uh... There you go. [He hands the JAPANESE Man some money.]Thank you. JAPANESE Man Thank you. Dean: Yeah. JAPANESE Man Take care. INT. MOTEL – NIGHT Dean and Sam enter. GARTH is performing some sort of martial art exercises in the courtyard to the rear of the room. Sam: Garth. Where's Baxter? GARTH comes into the room and points. GARTH Dude's a lot heavier than he looks, FYI. RANDY BAXTER is in the hot tub with a pillowcase over his head. GARTH But here. [Indicates Dean's EMF reader]Thought you might want this back. Dean: You have the CEO of the douchiest microbrew in the US gagged in your hot tub? You really think that's gonna end well? GARTH I'm not feeling the love. Sam: All right. Shojo. Uh, let's see what we can see. [He sits down at the table to use the laptop.] GARTH What's Shojo? Dean: Japanese booze monster. GARTH I guess that would explain why you got to be drunk to see it. Very poetic. Sam does a search for "Shojo" and clicks on the first link, which is to the page "Open Minds to Deeper Knowledge." The text is in Japanese and there is a black-and-white drawing. GARTH looks over Sam's shoulder. GARTH Ooh. Creepy. A message box that says "Translating Japanese text to English" pops up on screen and then the page appears in English. It reads: A Shojo (Heavy drinker or Orangutan) is a kind of Japanese sea spirit with a red face and hair and a fondness for alcohol. Legend has it, that workers at the breweries in Japan have seen a Shojo lurking about after indulging in their products. With the right Spell Box you can harness a Shojo to your will. The legend is the subject of a Noh play of the Same name. There is a Noh mask for this character, as well as a type of Kabuki stage makeup, that bares [sic]the name. The Chinese and Japanese characters for Orangutan are the Same, and can also be used in Japanese to refer to someone who is particularly fond of alcohol. Fatal weakness: Samurai sword consecrated with a Shinto blessing. Sam: Okay. So, a Shojo is said to roam where there's lots of alcohol. There's lore saying that, back in the old day, if you were plastered enough, you could see one skulking around the breweries in Japan. Dean is refilling his flask with whiskey. Dean: Yeah, but why is this one shredding brewers' kids? Sam: Apparently, you can harness the will of a Shojo with the right spell box. Then you basically have an attack dog that you can sic on whatever sort of personal revenge mission you want. Dean: So Dale nabs one to punish his pals. Sam: Send the bottle, sooner or later it's popped open. Then you have a Shojo that will do whatever Dale compelled it to do right here on the box. GARTH Wait. Except it's not killing the people that screwed him over. Sam: Well, Dale's widow said the company was his baby. So, if he really wanted his friends to feel what he felt... Dean: He would take theirs. Well, their kids. Jim's, anyways. Sam: And Baxter was the godfather. Dean: All right, skip to how do we gank it. Sam: Good news. It is[i]killable. Dean: But... Sam: But only with a Samurai sword consecrated with a Shinto blessing. Dean: Well... that's not a silver lining. All right, the Shojo already cleaned house, right? I mean, Marie's the last target standing, so... I'll hit the pawn shops and, uh, look for the sword, and you babysit Marie. GARTH drops and catches an EMF reader, which starts to make noise. GARTH Yikes. Sorry. Dean grabs the EMF reader from GARTH. Dean: Don't worry about it. Dean turns the EMF reader off. GARTH Unless I've got nothing to be sorry [i]for. Dean: Garth. Sam: What's he talking about? GARTH I'm concerned that Bobby might be haunting you. I-I brought it up to Dean, and he shot me down. Dean: Garth! Leave it alone. Sam: It's okay. Dean: No, it's far from okay. Sam: I've already tried contacting Bobby. [Dean looks surprised.]When that beer disappeared, I pulled out a talking board. Dean: Without me? Sam: You know, I figured, why drag you in... when it's something I could just put to bed myself. Dean: And? Sam: And if he was there, I'd have told you. RANDY BAXTER groans. Dean: Talk about this later. You follow Marie. Let me borrow your keys. CUT TO: GARTH removes the pillowcase from RANDY BAXTER's head. GARTH I'm trying to help you, Mr. Baxter. RANDY BAXTER And who the hell are you? GARTH Now, I'm confused. Dale goes to get you all where it hurts – the kids. Only, you don't have any kids. RANDY BAXTER It still affects me. Believe me.

It don't matter what Dale knows about you, 'cause that thing out there killing the kids – it[i]knows! RANDY BAXTER It didn't end well with his mom. She made me swear never to tell him. GARTH Oh. So much for that. Where is he? RANDY BAXTER He's, uh – he's at the brewery. GARTH takes a bunch of miniature bottles of alcohol from under the counter. RANDY BAXTER Working the graveyard shift.

Dean (on phone): Whoa, slow down! GARTH (on phone): I'm trying to save lives here! GARTH fumbles for tools to break into the brewery. Dean (on phone): Are you drunk? GARTH drops his phone.

[He breaks away from GARTH.]Get away from me! GARTH All right. I'll just shoot. Baxter is your father. Baxter screwed Dale. Dale roped this Japanese monster you can only see when you're drunk, and now it's here to kill you. RANDY BAXTER's SON Whoa, wait a minute. Baxter is my father? GARTH looks past RANDY BAXTER's SON and sees the Shojo approaching. He grabs RANDY BAXTER's SON and tries to drag him away. RANDY BAXTER's SON looks from GARTH to the direction of the Shojo. RANDY BAXTER's SON What are you looking at? GARTH [Pulls RANDY BAXTER's SON by the arm]Damn it, run! RANDY BAXTER's SON [Breaks away from GARTH again]Dude, there's nothing there! The Shojo appears right in front of GARTH. GARTH smiles at it. The Shojo sends GARTH flying into a wall of glass windows. RANDY BAXTER's SON runs. He rounds a corner and stands with his back to the wall. As he starts to run for an open door, it slams shut. Large scratches appear on the wall in front of him. He opens the door and continues to run through the brewery. Sam appears from the other direction. Sam: Whoa. Whoa. Easy! RANDY BAXTER's SON We got to get out of here, man. [He pushes past Sam, who follows him.]It's here! Sam: Where's Garth? RANDY BAXTER's SON Who?! Sam: Garth! RANDY BAXTER's SON I-I – There was a guy – he got knocked out! Sam: Oh. Oh, okay.

The Shojo appears right in front of Sam and throws him into the wall hard enough to crack it. Sam falls to the ground, unconscious. Dean appears and puts a hand on RANDY BAXTER's SON's shoulder. RANDY BAXTER's SON Aah! Dean Get back! Dean pushes RANDY BAXTER's SON behind him and slashes with the sword. The Shojo hits him and he falls to the ground. The sword skids along the flood. Dean sits up and looks at Sam, who is still unconscious. He then looks for the sword, which slides back along the floor towards him. Sam wakes. Dean gets to his feet. Dean Where is it?! Sam: Uh, s-s-swing right! Dean slashes to his left with the sword. Sam: My[i]right. Dean slashes again as the Shojo ducks. Sam: 3 o'clock, Dean! [Dean slashes again.]6 o'clock! RANDY BAXTER's SON ducks as Dean swings the sword. Dean then plunges the sword into the Shojo and takes his hand from the hilt of the sword. The Shojo materializes, screams and falls backwards as it disappears. Dean picks up the sword. Dean You okay? RANDY BAXTER's SON I'm alive. Yeah. Dean Sam? Sam: Yeah. [He gives a thumb's-up.] Dean Where's Garth? RANDY BAXTER's SON Well, he's – he's over this way. Dean Would you go get him? RANDY BAXTER's SON All right. Sam gets up and follows RANDY BAXTER's SON. Dean looks at the sword, and then in the direction from which it moved towards him. CUT TO: GARTH sits up with a hand to his head as Sam and RANDY BAXTER's SON approach. GARTH What'd I miss? CUT TO: Dean standing with the sword. Dean This moved. Bobby? Are you here? Come on, do [i]something. Sam is watching from behind a corner. ACT FIVE EXT. MOTEL – DAY GARTH is walking to his vehicle, carrying a bag. GARTH You sure you guys don't want to hang out? Grab some brunch, maybe some brews? Dean: Tempting, but, uh, we better roll.

Sam: Yeah. GARTH Aw, come here. GARTH hugs Sam. Sam: Uh, yeah. Thanks, Garth. GARTH GARTH gets into his vehicle and starts the engine. Sam: You're right. He has grown on me. GARTH drives away, loud music playing. ♪ Poison ♪ ♪ Poison ♪ ♪ Poison ♪ Dean raises a hand in farewell. Sam: All right, um… So, let's talk about it. Dean: About what? Oh. The, uh, talking board? That's fine. I get it, I guess. Sam: No, not that. Look, I heard you. Dean: Heard me what? Sam: What happened in the brewery, Dean? Dean: Nothing. It was, uh – it was just my imagination. Dean turns to go inside the motel room and Sam follows him. Sam: Dean, look, I know something happened. INT. MOTEL – DAY Sam: I just want you to be straight with me. Dean: Sam: Clearly. Dean: Well then what, Sam? Is Bobby here, or not? Sam: You know what I think, Dean? I think that regular people, they see ones they lost everywhere too. Dean: Yeah, freakin' ghosts! Sam: Or they just miss ‘em a lot. I mean, they see a face in a crowd, we see a book falling off the table. Same thing, Dean. I did the talking board, I ran plenty of EMF. When that beer when poof – I went a little nuts. Dean: Yeah, why didn't you tell me? Sam: Like I said, little nuts at the time. Dean: All right, well, if it wasn't Bobby, then what Jedi'd that sword into my hand? Sam: The Shojo slammed the door from across the room. Maybe it was trying to grab the sword, too. Dean: [clears throat]Right. Right, I mean if it was Bobby, he would let us know. I mean, who knows more about being a ghost than Bobby? Instant Swayze, right? Sam: Exactly. Dean: Okay. Okay, you – so your theory is that – that we're practically regular people about something for once. All right. [They pick up their bags.]Well, you want to grab some brunch and some brews? Sam: Ugh, no. I'm so hung over. Let's just hit the road. Dean: All right. Dean opens the door and motions Sam out. They leave the room. The camera pans out and we see Bobby's GHOST standing in the room looking after them. Bobby's GHOST sighs. EXT. MOTEL – DAY Dean and Sam get into the car. Dean starts the engine. Dean: Hang on. Dean gets out of the car and goes back inside the motel. INT. MOTEL – DAY Dean looks around the room. Bobby's GHOST is looking back at him. Dean: There you are. Bobby's GHOST smiles. Dean walks towards him and picks up his flask. Bobby's GHOST I'm right here, you idjit! Dean pauses on his way out the door, but then closes the door behind him. Bobby's GHOST Balls! Bobby's GHOST flickers and disappears. EXT. MOTEL – DAY Dean gets back into the car and he and Sam drive away. END |
