GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

Two teenage boys, Evan and Shawn approach an abandoned house and climb over the chain link fence, each handing the other a video camera to hold while climbing over.

"You got a full battery?" Evan Asks

Shawn nervously checks his camera "Yep."

"You ready?" Evan Says

"Yeah." Shawn Says

Using their flashlights and the video cameras, the two boys cross the large yard. Shawn holds camera up and is recording Evan.

"We are going to get so many hits!" Evan Says

Shawn continues to record Evan with the camera as they enter the house.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Shawn Says

"What?" Evan Says

"Are you sure about this?" Shawn Asks

Their flashlights shines on the sign of the Dr. A Meadows Mental Health Center.

"Come on, man! It'll be awesome!" Evan Says

Their flashlights continue to shine on warning signs that read "Keep Out" and "No Trespassing". The boys enter the abandoned building and start to look around using flashlights.

"I told you it'd be unlocked." Evan Says

"Why would they leave it open?" Shawn Says

"Who's "they"? Come on, no one even pretends to own this place, not after..." Evan Says

"Whatever. Don't start." Shawn Says

"What, you don't want to hear about the guy who used to cut open people's skulls?" Evan Says, Shawn rolls his eyes at him.

"Sure. Of course he did, Evan." Shawn Says

"No, seriously. He got arrested." Evan Says

"So if he cuts your skull open, will you shut your stupid mouth?" Shawn Says

Evan scoffs and returns to exploring building, he ascends a large staircase.

"Why do we have to go up there?" Shawn Asks

"Uh-oh. Someone's scared." Evan Says

"I'm not scared. I just... Mike punked out. At least I showed up." Shawn Says

"Good. If you're so brave, let's look around.
Both boys continue to ascend the stairs. They find a ward full of neatly made hospital beds." Evan Says

"Where he kept his patients." The boys continue down a corridor until, he stops mid way. "Evan, I don't like this, man." Shawn Says

Evan turns to face Shawn with the camera "Quit your whining man."

The boys continue down the corridor and Evan stops in front of a room and turns to face Shawn.

"So... Yeah, I'm not going in there." Shawn Says

"Fine. Be a little baby." Evan Says

The room is an examination room and Evan turns to Shawn

"Come on, man." Shawn enters the room and they continue to explore "Told ya. This guy was freaky.
A flashlight shines across a series of masks with bird-like beaks." Evan Says

"Evan. Come check this out." Shawn Says, Evan walks over and begins to examine the masks.

"Holy crap." He picks one mask up "Put it in your bag." Evan Says

"What? No." Shawn Says

"Dude, nut up." Evan Says

"Fine, just... hurry." Shawn Says

Evan places the mask in Shawn's backpack and the sound of creaking is heard nearby.

"What was that?" Shawn Says

"Nothing. It was just a weird, like, house noise. Or the wind." Evan Says

Shawn rapidly leaves the room and a loud bang is heard.

"Yeah, I'm out." Shawn Says

"Shawn, come one, don't be—" Evan Says

A Loud creaking from overhead and whispering sounds spook both boys and they start to run towards the front door.

"Go! Keep moving! Come on! Let's go!" Evan Says

The boys continue to run down the stairs but stop at the sight of a man wearing an old doctor's coat, an apron, and one of the bird masks, holding a large whirring drill.

"Where is Dr. Meadows?" He Asks

The man charges at the boys, throwing Shawn into the corner and faces off with Evan.

"No! No!" Evan Says

As the whirring continues we see Evan drop to the floor as seen through the video camera. The whirring continues as we see the man kneeling over Evan. Shawn escapes through the front door and runs across the yard, hearing Evan screaming in the background.

BUNKER

Inside the kitchen Dean is making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Sam enters the kitchen.

"Hey." Sam Says

"Hey." Dean Says

"PB&J for breakfast?, Strong work." Sam Says

"Yep." Dean Says

"You want a beer with that?" Sam Asks

"I'm cool." Dean Says

"Come on, live a little. Here." Sam Says, he places bottle of beer from fridge in front of Dean.

"What's going on with you?" Dean Asks

"What do you mean?..Anyway, check this out. I think I found something." He places the tablet down, showing police report in front of Dean. "Three days ago, kid named Shawn Raider was found wandering the side of the road near Grand Junction, Colorado, bleeding from the head. Best friend was missing. And get this only word he said? "Monster." Sam Says

"Okay. Well, that sounds like something." Dean Says

"Yeah. So I thought we'd check it out, you and me." Sam Says

"What about Jack?" Dean Asks

"He's uh, he's catching up on all of my old fantasy DVDs Red Sonja, Beastmaster, uh, Beastmaster II
you know, with the time traveling ferrets." Sam Says

"Yeah. Wow, how you ever got laid, I'll never know." Dean Says

"Yeah, tell me about it. So I was thinking we'd leave Jack behind." Sam Says

"Really?" Dean Says

"Yeah. We'll put up some extra warding. He'll be fine. I mean, when's the last time we worked a case, just you and me?" Sam Says

"It's been a while." Dean Says

"Exactly. So?" Sam Says, Dean nods approvingly.

RAIDER HOUSE

The Impala is seen pulling up to the curb in front of a house. Sam and Dean exit the car dressed in Fed threads, he hands Dean a badge.

"Here." Sam Says, Dean opens it and checks the name.

"Agent Page? I thought you always liked to be Agent Page." Dean Says

"Yeah, well, changing it up." Sam Says

The boys knock on the door and it is answered by Penny Raider, Shawn's mother.

"May I help you?" Penny Says

"Yeah, sorry to bother you ma'am." They show their badges "Agents Page and Plant. FBI." Dean Says

"We're here to follow up on the incident with your son." Sam Says

"Well, the police have already been here. Shouldn't you talk to them?" Dean Says

"We did, but we'd like to talk with you as well. And Shawn." Sam Says, Penny shifts back and forth nervously.

"Something wrong?" Dean Asks

"Shawn, he....won't talk. He can't." Penny Says

"What do you mean?" Sam Says

"The doctors say...he's okay physically, that it's psychological. You know, trauma, like he...he...saw some – saw something so...awful. God I don't even know what he was doing out that late." Penny Says

Moments later we see Shawn, bandage over his left eye, in his bedroom intensely drawing. There's a knock at his door, Dean enters the room.

"Shawn? Hey I'm Dean. I heard you had a rough time. You wanna tell me about it?" Dean Says

Shawn does not look directly at Dean and continues his drawing. Dean notices the drawings which are of the bird-like masks the boys saw in the building. Downstairs Sam and Penny are in the kitchen having coffee.

"And, uh, Evan, he's still missing. Uh... He, Shawn, and their friend Mike Ramos, they're inseparable." Penny Says

"So, has anyone spoken with Mike?" Sam Asks

"Everyone. He says he doesn't know what happened, but..." Penny Says

"But you don't believe him." Sam Says, Penny shakes her head.

"Those boys do everything together. I just...I just–I just don't know." Penny Says

Back in Shawn room, Dean is looking at the pictures Shawn has drawn.

"What is that? A monster? Is that the one you told the cops about?" Shawn stops drawing briefly, indicating that he was correct. "You know....I know what it's like to see monsters. And I know that even when they're gone, they never really go away. You see 'em when you close your eyes. You see 'em in your dreams. But you know what? Me and my brother, we're the guys that stop the monsters. We're the guys that scare them. But you gotta talk to me." Dean Says

ROYAL TOWERS HOTEL

It's night time and we see the Impala pulling into a parking garage for the Royal Towers Hotel.

"So he didn't say anything?" Sam Asks, as they exit the car.

"Not a word. Whatever that kid saw, it messed him up." Dean Says

"Well I say we talk to the other friend, uh, Mike, first thing in the morning." Sam Says

"Sounds like a plan." Dean Says

"So, strip club?" Sam Says

"Wait. Sorry. What?" Dean Says

"Mm, s-strip...club. There's one just outside of town, the, uh... Clamdiver." Sam Says

"You wanna go to the Clamdiver?" Dean Says

"Yeah. It–it got great reviews." Sam Says

"You read reviews for the Clamdiver?" Dean Says

"It–it–it got four and a half-" Sam Says

"Dude, what is going on with you?" Dean Asks

"What are you talking about?" Sam Says

"All day. You give me a-a beer for breakfast. You– you gave me Agent Page, which you always like to be. You–you didn't whine about me blaring my music the whole way here. And when we stopped for lunch, you ordered my chili fries." Dean Says

"You love chili fries." Sam Says

"Everybody loves chili fries. That's not the point. Now you wanna go hang out at a strip club? You hate strip clubs." Dean Says

"No I don't." Sam Says

"Dude the last lap dance you had–was–was at Christmas. It was a gift paid for by me. You spent the entire song trying to convince the girl that she should go to nursing school. So what is it? Is it my birthday? Did–did I win a bet that I don't know about? What?" Dean Says

"No, nothing. Nothing. I–I mean, I'm just trying to be nice." Sam Says

"Why?" Dean Asks

"Because...You know why." Sam Says

"I'm fine." Dean Says

"No, you're not, Dean." Dean turns to enter the hotel, he follows "You said you don't believe in anything and–and that's... that's not true. That's not you. You–you–you do believe in things. You believe in people. That's who you are. That's what you do. I know you're in a dark place, and I-I just want to help." Sam Says

"Okay. Look, I-I've been down this road before and I fought my way back. I will fight my way back again." Dean Says

"How?" Sam Says

"Same way I always do–bullets, bacon, and booze."He rings front desk bell "A lotta booze." Dean Says

RAIDER HOUSE

We see Shawn wake screaming in his bedroom and Mrs. Raider enters worried.

"Shawn!" She rushes over, and comforts her son "It's okay. It's okay, baby. Just a bad dream." Laying him back down "Try to get some sleep, all right?" Penny Says

"Okay." Shawn Says

"That's good. That's good." Penny Says

Penny kisses Shawn's forehead, tucks him in, turns out the light and leaves the room, leaving the door open slightly. Shawn then hears the whirring sound of the drill. Looking around his room he sees nothing until a figure of the masked man with the drill appears by the window, the last image is of the figure charging towards Shawn.

HOTEL ROOM

In the hotel room the alarm clock is beeping and Sam reaches to shut it off. He notices that Dean's bed has not been slept in, and he hears loud snoring and as he moves to the foot of his bed he sees Dean in his Fed threads laying on the floor with a pink bra around his neck, something else tied around his head and what appears to be a whip in his hand on his chest.

"Great." Sam Says

Dean continues to snore loudly as Sam gets dressed in his Fed threads, he checks on Dean who is still snoring loudly, grabs the keys to the Impala and leaves the hotel room.

FARM

Sam is now at a farm talking to Mike Ramos who is unloading bales of hay.

"So, you don't know where Shawn went that night?" Sam Asks

"No. I already told the cops." Mike Says

"Right. Of course. But problem is, when something bad happens, we have to triple-check." Sam Says

"Anyway, I wasn't with them." Mike Says

"Them." You weren't with them. So Shawn was with somebody. Maybe your friend Evan?" Sam Says

"I don't know." Mike Says

"You know, I'd like to believe you, Mike, but, um... here's the thing. You ever see those detective shows where whenever somebody lies, they dart their eyes to the side?" Sam Says

"That's a real thing?" Mike Says

"Oh, yeah. So if there's anything that you forgot to tell the police, I need you to tell me." Mike is looking around nervously "Mike. Evan could be in serious danger." Sam Says

"He's not. He's just hiding out somewhere. Evan is always pulling crap like this, It's just a prank." Mike Says

"Okay, so what happened to Shawn, that's a prank, too?" Sam Says

"They, um, they were going to the old Meadows place, out on Nighthawk Drive." Mike Says

"Okay. How come?" Sam Asks

"Evan dared us to go, and...it was stupid and creepy, and I didn't...I-I got scared. But Evan, Shawn... they're gonna be okay, right?" Mike Says, Sam looks at him.

ROYAL TOWERS HOTEL

Dean is at the breakfast buffet at the hotel with sunglasses on, loading his plate with strips of bacon, Sam approaches him.

"Hangover raid on the continental breakfast?" Sam Says

"Shh." Dean Says, holding up a finger.

"What?" Sam Says

"First of all, it's complimentary. Second of all, what happened to being nice to me?" Sam pulls a bottle of liquor out of a paper bag and hands it to him "You are forgiven." Dean Says

"So I talked to the other friend–uh, Mike. And I think I got something." Showing Dean his Ipad with the case information "Meet Dr. Avery Meadows. He worked here back in the early 60's. Uh, people would come to him for help with mental illness. But no matter what they had depression, anxiety, whatever the cure was always the same. He lobotomized them." Sam Says

"Mm. Fun." Dean Says, as he takes bite from his bacon.

"Yeah. Those that lived, he kept at his "patients." and he would experiment on them in his house, which is exactly where Evan and Shawn were headed that night." Sam Says

"That's where Shawn for freaked out and where Evan went missing?" Dean Says

"Worth a shot. I mean, when people found out what Meadows was doing, he was tried and executed. But who knows? You know, maybe he made a demon deal." Sam Says

"Or maybe he wasn't even human to begin with." Sam nods in agreement, looking at the iPad "This here? That's what Shawn was drawing over and over." Dean Says

"Really?" Sam Says

"Yeah. What's up with the creepy-ass mask?" Dean Says, a piece of bacon falls in his shirt and looks around before eating it.

"It's a plague mask Doctors used to use them. They thought they filtered out disease. As a matter of fact, when they arrested Meadows, he was wearing one. They had to hold him down to rip it off." His cell phone rings and he stops the conversation to answer it. "Hello? Penny. What happened?" Sam Says

RAIDERS HOUSE

Penny in Shawn's bedroom talking with the boys.

"I don't know. Shawn had a bad dream. I checked on him. I... It seemed like he was getting better. I went back to my room, but it got a little cold," Sam shoots a knowing look at Dean "So I thought Shawn must have opened a window. But when I came back in to close it, he was just...gone." Penny Says

Dean looks at the drawings on Shawn's desk and picks one up. The boys are now exiting the Raider house.

"This is on me, man. I saw how messed up Shawn was. I should've pushed him harder." Dean Says

"We don't know he's dead, all right. Penny said it got cold, so it could be a ghost." Sam Says

"Yeah, but what's a ghost doing, showing up at a kid's place? It's not like Shawn was dragging a body around." Dean Says

"According to the reports, Meadows was cremated. So maybe his spirit is tied to something else, an object..." Sam Says

"So, what, Shawn took something from the house?" Dean Says

"It's possible." Sam Says

"All right, where's the kid now?" Dean Asks

"Well, Meadows "treated" the victims at his house. So if this is him, maybe that's where he took Shawn." Sam Says, then they get inside the Impala.

The boys get into Baby in unison and we see Baby's tires as she speeds off.

MEADOWS MENTAL HEALTH CENTER

It is night time when we see Baby pull up in front of the Meadows Mental Health Center. The boys are in their hunting gear as they enter the house, calling for Shawn.

"Shawn? Shawn, you in here?" Dean Says, as Sam drops the duffle bag in the background.

Sam switches on the EMF meter it starts warbling. "Oh, dude. Check this out. Definitely a ghost."

"Sam." Dean Says

Sam turns out of the way and we see the man in the bird-mask holding the whirring drill.

"What's up, Doc?" Dean Says

The masked man hits Sam, sending him flying across the room into several chairs. The figure rapidly moves in front of Dean and before he has a chance to react, the figure knocks the sawed-off salt gun out of Dean's hands and send him across the room in another direction, hitting a chain link fence. We see the masked figure in front of Dean, coming closer to his head with the whirring drill. The scene ends with a close-up end-shot of the drill.
