Air Date: 30 March 2012

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 f*re.

CHRIS

Forced out after her family was k*lled in a f*re. She lost everything. Some say, even her humanity.

RAY

That is sosad.

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 h*t. 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 d*ad. His face is cut and bleeding and there is a large hole in his abdomen.

SUPERNATURAL

EXT. STREET – DAY

Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" plays as a vehicle pulls up outside "Burger Heaven." GARTH gets out, wearing sunglasses, and walks slowly to the restaurant.

♪ Poison ♪

♪ Yeah, Spiderman and Freeze in full effect ♪

♪ Poison ♪

♪ Uh-huh, you ready, Ron? ♪

♪ Poison ♪

♪ I'm ready – you ready, Biv? ♪

CHLOE and the teenage Girl are talking outside the restaurant.

GARTH

Ladies.

Girl: What do you want, Top g*n? [Laughs]

GARTH

For starters, I'd like a little respect. [Holds up a badge]

CHLOE

Sorry, Officer. We didn't realize.

GARTH

All's forgiven. Take a seat. Tell me about Trevor McAnn. Other night up at Widow's Peak.

The girls speak simultaneously: Girl: Okay. Well, at first it was just like he was super-drunk.

CHLOE

All right. It was weird 'cause he was super-drunk.

GARTH

Whoa. You. [Points to the Girl]Go.

Girl: It was Jenny Greentree.

CHLOE

Shut up! Okay? She's just a dumb legend.

GARTH

Hold up. Who?

Girl: Jenny Greentree. My dad says she really died in the woods. And she's buried in the town cemetery.

EXT. CEMETERY – NIGHT

GARTH is digging in front of Jennifer Greentree's headstone.

GARTH

All right, Jenny G. [He pours salt into the grave.]Your ganking days are over. [He lights a match and tosses it into the grave.]You've been Garthed.

GARTH walks back to his vehicle in slow motion as "Poison" plays.

♪ And that night, I played the wall ♪

♪ Checkin' out the fellas, the highs, the lows ♪

CAR – NIGHT

RAY is sitting in a car with a bottle of alcohol beside him. He pushes a button on his cell phone.

CHLOE (voice message)

Ray, where are you? [RAY drinks from another bottle.]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 r*fle.

EXT. WOODS – NIGHT

RAY walks through the woods with his r*fle. 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... f*re up that hot tub.

[Chuckles]No, I heart youmore.

GARTH gets into his vehicle and opens a take-out container.

Voice ON Police Radio

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 d*ad 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 att*cks.

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 h*t 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.

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 Magazineawards? [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

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 b*rned 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 isEMF 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 f*re 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?

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 att*ck 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 k*lling 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 iskillable.

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 h*t 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 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 sh*t 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.

GARTH

Nah. You want to tell me what you're hiding?

RANDY BAXTER

Hiding? I –

GARTH

Tell me this. When was the last time you gave an employee three chances?

RANDY BAXTER

Probably never.

GARTH

Exactly. You're the axman, right? Tough job, but, hey, somebody's got to. So, how come you cut that slacker janitor so many breaks?

RANDY BAXTER

I-I-I-I don't know.

GARTH

Yeah. Well, I Googled. Come to find his mother... was your secretary way back in the day. Of course, you were married to Mrs. B., so, uh... No way there's anything naughty there, right? What do you need to get? It don't matter what Dale knows about you, 'cause that thing out there k*lling the kids – itknows!

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.

GARTH

Here. [He tosses RANDY BAXTER the keys to the handcuffs chaining him to the hot tub rail.]If you care about that kid at all, don't call the cops on me just yet.

INT. BREWERY – NIGHT

RANDY BAXTER's SON sprays window cleaner all over the inside of the glass door. When he wipes it off, we see that the Shojo is standing on the other side of the door, but it appears that he can't see her.

EXT. STREET OUTSIDE JAPANESE RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Dean takes a sword out of its scabbard and lays it down on a wooden box. The JAPANESE Man is reading from a piece of paper.

JAPANESE Man

It says it's best to do this in a running spring.

Dean: Uh, yeah. I, uh… [Takes a bottle of spring water out of his jacket]I got it. Okay. We good?

JAPANESE Man

I'll do my best.

Dean: All right.

Dean picks up the sword and prepares to pour water over it.

JAPANESE Man

Shichihukujin... [In English]Go.

Dean: Oh. [He pours water over the sword.]

JAPANESE Man

Hito no teni rori korekara seitoun yakuwari wo hatasu kono ken wo tataer.

Dean continues pouring water onto the sword.

JAPANESE Man

That's it.

Dean: Oh. [He stops pouring.]All right. Uh, thanks. [He hands over some money.]There.

JAPANESE Man

Thank you.

Dean: Yeah.

Dean's phone rings as he is putting the sword back into its scabbard.

Dean: Aah.

Dean (on phone): Hey, Garth.

EXT. BREWERY – NIGHT

GARTH is hurrying towards the brewery. He drops an empty miniature bottle of alcohol. The scene alternates between GARTH at the brewery and Dean outside the Japanese restaurant.

GARTH (on phone): Dean, Baxter's got a secret love child! The Shojo might come for him first!

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.

GARTH

Damn it! Damn it.

Dean (on phone): Garth?

GARTH gets the door open and enters the brewery.

Dean (on phone): You dropped the phone, didn't you? Hello? Garth!

GARTH (on phone): [Going up the stairs in the brewery]Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm here.

Dean (on phone): Where the hell are you?

GARTH (on phone): I'm in the brewery.

INT. BAR – NIGHT

Sam is at the bar drinking whiskey. Behind him, MARIE is at a table. Sam signals the bartender for another drink.

INT. BREWERY – NIGHT

GARTH can see the Shojo watching RANDY BAXTER's SON.

Dean (on phone): Garth?

GARTH (on phone): [whispering]Dean. It's here.

EXT. STREET OUTSIDE JAPANESE RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Dean gets into GARTH's vehicle.

INT. BREWERY – NIGHT

GARTH grabs RANDY BAXTER's SON by the arm.

RANDY BAXTER's SON

Whoa, whoa, hey! What the hell?!

GARTH

Come with me if you want to live!

RANDY BAXTER's SON

Hey!

INT. BAR – NIGHT

Sam's phone rings.

Sam (on phone)

Yeah.

Dean (on phone)

Hey, you good to drive? [Sam is drinking his whiskey.]

Sam (on phone)

Uh...

Dean (on phone)

Well, get a ride. It's at the brewery.

Sam (on phone)

What?

Dean (on phone)

There's another kid. Don't think – move.

EXT. BAR – NIGHT

Sam leaves the bar. A valet is helping a couple into a taxi.

Sam: Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Taxi! Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! Stop! Hold on, hold on. National security! [He holds up a badge.]Please! [The woman who was about to get into the taxi steps back.]Thank you, ma'am. Sorry. Thanks, guys. [He gets into the taxi.]Okay. Brewery. Step on it!

TAXI DRIVER

What?

Sam: The brewery! Hurry! Hurry. Hurry, hurry. Please?

TAXI DRIVER

Yeah, but I like to drive safe, you know.

INT. BREWERY – NIGHT

GARTH is leading RANDY BAXTER's SON by the arm.

RANDY BAXTER's SON

Dude, what's going on? Who are you?

GARTH

I'm the law, son. Now, follow me.

RANDY BAXTER's SON

Are you drunk, dude? [He breaks away from GARTH.]Get away from me!

GARTH

All right. I'll just sh**t. 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 k*ll 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.

Sam can see the Shojo approaching.

Sam: Stay behind me. Stay behind me.

RANDY BAXTER's SON

Okay, okay. What, you can – you can see it?

Sam: Yeah. I'm – I'm skunked. Just, uh... [Sam looks to his right and sees an open door.]f*re exit. On three.

RANDY BAXTER's SON

Okay.

Sam: All right?

The door slams shut.

Sam: Okay. So much for that.

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: Myright.

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 something.

Sam is watching from behind a corner.

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.

GARTH

All right, well…

GARTH hugs Dean.

Dean: Oh. Yeah.

Dean and Sam raise their eyebrows at each other.

GARTH

Call me anytime.

Dean: All right.

GARTH

And you, Sam.

GARTH and Sam shake hands.

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 h*t 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.
