MYSTERY SPOT

"Boys, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. We could use all the good ink we can get." Dean Says

"How long have you owned the place, Mr. Carpiak?" Sam Asks

"Well, my family's been guarding the secrets here since you don't want to know when." The Owner Says

"So you'd know if anything strange happened." Sam Says

"Strange? Strange happens here all the time. It's a Mystery Spot." Dean Says

"What exactly does that mean?" Sam Asks

"Well, uh ... it's where the laws of physics have no meaning." The Owner Says

"Okay, like how?" Sam Says

"Take the tour." The Owner Says

"The guy who went missing, Dexter Hasselback, he take the tour?" Dean Asks

"Uh, uh, hold on a minute, what kind of article is this?" The Owner Asks

"Just answer the question." Sam Says

"The police scoured every inch of this place. They couldn't find that man. I never seen him before. We're a family establishment—" The Owner Says
As Sam gets in his face.

"Listen to me. There is something weird going on here. Now do you know anything about it or not?" Sam Asks

"Okay. Look. Guys. Um. Give me a break. I bought the joint at a foreclosure auction last March, all right? Hell, I used to sell bail bonds." The Owner Says As Sam stares at him

"Okay, Kojak, let's get some air." Dean Says As He Leads Sam outside.

STREET

"Well, I hate to say it, but that place is exactly what I thought - it's full of crap." Sam Says

"Then what is it, Dean, what the hell is happening to us?" Sam Asks

"I don't know. All right, let me just – So, every day I die." Dean Says

"Yeah." Sam Says

"And that's when you wake up again, right?" Dean Says

"Yeah." Sam Says

"So let's just make sure I don't die. If I make it to tomorrow, then maybe the loop stops and we can figure all this out." Dean Says

"You think?" Sam Asks

"It's worth a shot. I say we grab some takeout and head back to the motel, lay low until midnight, Sam nods, All right, good Who wants Chinese?" Dean Says He starts walking again and gets two steps before being flattened by a falling desk. The Movers, one holding the other end of the snapped rope and the other up in the window, stare at the scene, and Sam looks at his brother.

MOTEL-ROOM

Sam's closed eyes, Heat of the moment, Sam's eyes open.

He sits up in bed and stares around. Dean is sitting on the other bed, tying his shoes. Sam stares at him.

"Telling you what your heart is The heat of the moment" The Radio Says As Sam lies back down and tries to breathe.

"Shown in your eyes, It was the heat of the moment"

DINER

Sam has a despairing expression on his face.

"I still think you're nuts, but ... whatever this is, we'll figure it out." Dean Says

"Thanks." Sam Says

"So, uh ... If you're stuck in "Groundhog Day", why? What's behind it?" Dean Asks

"Well, first I thought it was the Mystery Spot. Now I'm not so sure." Sam Says

"What do we do?" Dean Asks

"Well, we keep you breathing. Try to make it to tomorrow. I mean, that's the only thing I can think of." Sam Says

"Shouldn't be too hard." Dean Says

"Yeah, right. Dean, I've watched you die a few times now and I can't ever seem to stop it." Sam Says

"Well, nothing's set in stone. You say I order the same thing every day, right?" Dean Asks

"Yeah. Pig in a poke, side of bacon." Sam Says As Dean turns to Doris, who is standing by the window to the kitchen, talking with the Cook

"Excuse me, sweetheart?" Dean Says As Doris turns.
Can I get sausage instead of bacon?"

"Sure thing, hon." Doris Says

"See? Different day already. You see, if you and I decide that I am not gonna die – I'm not gonna die." Dean Says As Doris brings over Dean's food, Thank you, Dean stabs a sausage link with his fork and bites in. Sam grins but Dean starts to choke.

"Dean. Dean?" Sam Says

Sam looks out the window. He hears Dean and is  followed by a thud.

Sam is breaking down the walls with an axe. Dean grins at the Owner, who is duct-taped to a chair.

"Everybody's fine, nobody's gonna get hurt, okay? Sammy?" Dean Says As Sam stops and turns, Maybe you should drop the axe and let this guy go, what do you say?"

"Something's gotta be going on here. I intend to find out what." Sam Says As He goes back to swinging the axe.

"Place is tore up pretty good, dude. Time to give it a rest" Dean Says

"NO! I'm gonna take it down to studs." Sam Says then Dean stands up

"Sammy, that's enough. Give me the axe." Dean Says

"Leave it, Dean." Sam Says

"Give it." Dean Says

"No, you give it." Sam Says

"Let it go." Dean Says

"No." Sam Says

"Can't stay unless you order something, Cal. You know the rules." The Waitress Says As Cal passes her some change.

"Hey. Tuesday. Pig in a poke." Dean Says As Sam puts a set of keys on the table, Dean looks at them then at Sam,What are those?"

"The old man's. Trust me, you don't want him behind the wheel." Sam Says

"You boys ready?" Doris Asks

"Uh, yes, we are. I'll have the special, side of bacon and a coffee." Dean Says

"Hey, Doris? What I'd like is for you to log in some more hours at the archery range. You're a terrible shot." Sam Says

"How'd you know that?" Doris Asks

"Lucky guess." Sam Says

"Okay, so you think you're caught in some kind of what, again?" Dean Asks

"Time loop." Sam Says

"Like Groundhog Day." Dean Says

"Doesn't matter. There's no way to stop it." Sam Says

"Jeez, aren't you grumpy." Dean Says

"Yeah, I am. You wanna know why? Because this is the hundredth Tuesday in a row I've been through, and it never stops. Ever. So yeah, I'm a little grumpy. Hot sauce." Sam Says

"What?" Dean Says As Dorris arrives with the coffee and hot sauce.

"Coffee, black, and some hot sauce for the—whoops! Crap!, Sam catches the hot sauce and slides it across the table,Thanks." Doris Says

"Yeah, right. Nice guess." Sam & Dean Says

"It wasn't a guess." Sam Says

"Right, you're a mind reader. Cut it out, Sam. Sam" Sam & Dean Says As They lean towards each other simultaneously.

"You think you're being funny but you're being really really childish! Sam Winchester wears makeup. Sam Winchester cries his way through sex. Sam Winchester keeps a ruler by the bed and every morning when he wakes up he—" Sam & Dean Says Then Dean throws up his hands.

"Okay, enough!" Dean Says

"That's not all. Randy the cashier? He's skimming from the register. Judge Myers? At night he puts on a furry bunny outfit." Sam Says As Judge Myers knocks over his glass, Over there, that's Cal. He's gonna rob Tony the mechanic on the way home.

"What's your point?" Dean Asks

"My point is I've lived through every possible Tuesday. I've watched you die every possible way. I have ripped apart the Mystery Spot, burnt it down, tried everything I know to save your life, and I can't. No matter what I do, you die. And then I wake up. And then it's Tuesday again." Sam Says

STREET

"Dog." Sam Says As The dog barks as He and Dean pass.

"There's gotta be some way out of this." Dean Says

"No." Sam Says As The Blonde Girl gives Dean one of her papers. For the first time we can see that there is a picture and the word "MISSING".

"A hundred Tuesdays and you never bothered to check what she was holding in her hands, Sam shrugs, Dean holds up the flyer, That's the guy who went missing?" Dean Says As Sam stares at the name "Dexter Hassleback" under the picture from the newspaper clipping.

"Yeah?" Sam Says

Dean is eating and Sam is on the laptop behind them the Man with the pancakes is reading a newspaper. pink syrup is visible next to his plate.

"So the police report says Dexter Hasselback is a professor, but that's not all he is." Sam Says

"What is he?" Dean Asks

"I talked to his daughter. Guy's quite the journalist. Columns in magazines, a blog." Sam Says As The Man leaves, He writes about tourist attractions. Mystery spots, UFO crash sites—he gets his kicks debunking them. I mean, he's already put four of these places out of business. Here.

Sam turns the laptop to face Dean, Onscreen is the biography of the author of the blog "The Hasselback Report" with a picture of Hasselback and a headline Dean reads aloud.

"Dexter Hasselback, truth warrior? More like a pompous schmuck, you ask me." Dean Says

"Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, I've read everything the guy's ever written, and he must have weighed a ton, he was so full of himself." Sam Says

"When'd you have time to do all this research?" Dean Asks

"Come on." Sam Says As He packs up the laptop. They get up and Dean laughs, What?"

"I just, it's just funny, you know, I mean, this guy spends his whole life crapping on Mystery Spots and then he vanishes into one. It's kinda poetic, you know, just desserts." Dean Says

"You're right, that is just desserts." Sam Says Then He notices the Man's abandoned plate it has  pancakes and pink syrup.

"What's wrong?" Dean Asks As Sam watches the Man walk by the diner windows.

"Guy has maple syrup for the last hundred Tuesdays, all of a sudden he's having strawberry?" Sam Says

"It's a free country. Man can't choose his own syrup, huh? What have we become?" Dean Says

"Not in this diner. Not today. Nothing in this place ever changes. Ever. Except me." Sam Says

STREET

The Man walks down the street, Sam grabs him, slams him into the fence, and puts the tip of a wooden stake at his throat.

"Hey!" The Man Says

"I know who you are. Or should I say, what." Sam Says

"Oh my god, please don't kill me." The Man Says

"Uh, Sam?" Dean Says

"It took me a hell of a long time but I got it." Sam Says

"What?" The Man Says

"It's your MO that gave you away. Going after pompous jerks, giving them their just desserts—your kind loves that, don't they?" Sam Says

"Yeah, sure, okay." The Man Says As He glances nervously at the stake, Just put the stake down!"

"Sam, maybe you should—" Dean Says

"No! There's only one creature powerful enough to do what you're doing. Making reality out of nothing, sticking people in time loops—in fact you'd pretty much have to be a god. You'd have to be a Trickster." Sam Says

"Mister, my name is Ed Coleman, my wife's name is Amelia, I got two kids, for crying out loud I sell ad space—" The Man Says

"Don't lie to me! I know what you are! We've killed one of your kind before!" Sam Says As The Man morphs into the Trickster he grins while Sam and Dean stare.

"Actually, bucko, you didn't." Trickster Says
