PIER-POINT INN

Sam stares through a lace-curtained window and Elena Stares at the ceiling as droopy music plays. He watches the coroner cart away the lawyer's body Dean is outside, and meets Susan as she comes back towards the inn.

"What happened?" Dean Asks

"Oh, the maid went in to turn down the sheets and he was just..hanging there." Susan Says

"That's awful, he was a guest?" Dean Asks

"He worked for the company that bought the place." Susan Says

"Hmm." Dean Says

"I don't understand." Susan Says

"What?" Dean Asks

"Had a lot of bad luck around here. Look, if you'd like to check out I'll give you a full refund." Susan Says

"No thanks. I don't scare that easy." Dean Says

SAM & DEAN'S ROOM

Sam and Elena are sitting alone in the dark, framed by the half-open door with the key askew in the lock. Dean enters and shuts the door behind him, all business-mode.

"There's been another one. Some guy just hung himself in his room." Dean Says

"Yeah. I saw." Sam Says

"We've gotta figure this out, and fast. What'd you two find out about Granny?" Dean Asks

"You're the boss." Elena Says, Dean looks around in surprise at her.

"What?" Dean Asks

"You're bossy..and short." Sam Says, he laughs sloppily.

"He is pretty short huh" Elena Says, she laughs
along with Sam.

"Are you guys drunk?" Dean Asks

"Yeah." He and Elena laughs "So?..Stupid." Sam Says, Elena snorts.

"Guys, what are you thinking? We're working a case." Dean Says

"Sorry Look I told him one drink then he kept going and I well joined him and I...don't know exactly" Elena Says, she continues to laugh then falls back on the bed.

"That guy who hung himself. I couldn't save him." Sam Says, he starts to get tearful.

"What are you talking about? You didn't know, you couldn't have done anything." Dean Says

"That's an excuse, Dean. I should have found a way to save him. I should have saved Ava too." Sam Says As Dean approaches him.

"Yeah, well, you can't save everyone even you said that." Dean Says

"No, Dean, you don't understand, all right? The more people I save, the more I can change!" Sam Says

"Change what?" Dean Asks

Sam stands up and leans forward, hands on Deans chest, "My destiny, Dean!" He Says

"All right. Time for bed. Come on, Sasquatch."
He leans over and hauls Sam up by the shoulders.
"Come on." Dean Says

"I need you to watch out for me." Sam Says

"Yeah, I always do." Dean Says

"No! No, no, no. You have to watch out for me, all right? And if I ever...turn into something that I'm not...you have to kill me." Sam Says

"Sam." Dean Says

"Dean! Dad told you to do it, you have to." Sam Says

"Yeah, well, Dad's an ass. Sam frowns in confusion
He never should have said anything. I mean, you don't do that, you don't, you don't lay that kind of crap on your kids." Dean Says

"No. He was right to say it! who knows what I might become? Even now, everyone around me dies!" Sam Says

"Yeah, well, I'm not dying, okay? And neither are you and neither is Lena,Come on. Sam." Dean Says

He pushes Sam onto the bed, but Sam stays seated, reaching up and clutching Dean's jacket. Dean's right hand curls in the fabric at Sam's shoulder.

"No, please! Dean, you're the only one who can do it. Promise." Sam Says

"Don't ask that of me." Dean Says

"Dean, please. You have to promise me." Sam Says

"I promise." Dean Says

"Thanks." He reaches up and grabs Dean's face with both hands "Thank you, you are..." Sam Says

"All right. Come on." Dean Says

Dean bats Sam's hands away and shoves him back on the bed. Sam falls back, then turns over on his stomach to plant his face in the pillow, hugging it with both arms. Dean rubs a hand over his face then he looks at Elena he then picks her up bridal style and carries her to her room.

"Huh why is the room moving.." Elena Says

"I'm carrying you to bed." Dean Says

"Ohhhh my bed right." Elena Says

Dean enters her room he then lays Elena on top of the bed, he takes off her shoes and puts the covers over her.

"All right your good." Dean Says

"Hey Hey, Dean Come here" Elena Says, Dean comes closer to her she puts both hands on his face.

"Hey Hey, Elena what are you doing?" Dean Says

"I just wanted to say thanks for always being there for me you and Sam are really the bestest friends a girl can have." Elena Says, she smiles then giggles.

"Uh huh no problem, now please go to sleep." Dean Says

"No Problem Sir." Elena Says, she lays down then drifts off asleep.

"Ok then." Dean Says as he leaves her room and heads downstairs

PIER-POINT INN

Dean goes down to the antique, empty bar. Sherwin is behind the bar, and Dean sits down.

"Find any good antiques?" Sherwin Asks

"Um, no! No, I got distracted." Dean Says

"Have a drink." Sherwin Says

"Yeah, thanks, Sherwin pours a drink, So, poor guy, huh? Killing himself?" Dean Says

"That kind of thing seems to be going around lately." Sherwin Says

"Yeah, yeah, I heard about the other ones. It's almost like this hotel is, uh, cursed or something." Dean Says

"Every hotel has its spilled blood. If people only knew what's gone on in some of those rooms they've checked into." Sherwin Says

"You know a lot about the place, don't you?" Dean Asks

"Down to the last nail." Sherwin Says

"I'd love to hear some stories." Dean Says

"Boy, you should never say that to an old man." Sherwin Says

Sherwin leads Dean up the wide staircase, showing him old framed photographs on the walls.

"This is little Miss Susan, and her mother Rose. Happier days." Sherwin Says

"They're not happy now? Dean Asks

"Well, would you be, leaving the only home you ever knew?" Sherwin Asks

"I don't know. I never really knew one." Dean Says

"Well, this is Rose's home. It's been in the family over a century. Used to be the family estate. And now she gets to live in some senior living graveyard, and they tear this place down." Sherwin Says

"Yeah, that's too bad. they start down the stairs,
I hear Rose isn't feeling well, either." Dean Says

"No, she isn't." Sherwin Says

"What's wrong with her?" Dean Asks

"It's not my business to say." Sherwin Says

"Oh. He nods then he looks at another photo of two little toddlers, Who's this?" Dean Asks As Sherwin picks up a yellowing photograph of a girl sitting on a chair with young black woman; the woman has a quincunx necklace.

"That's Rose, when she was a little girl." Sherwin Says

"Who's that with her?" Dean Asks

"That's her nanny, Marie. She looked after Rose more than her own mother." Sherwin Says As Dean frowns in concern as Sherwin replaces the photo.

BEDROOM

Sam is kneeling miserably in front of the toilet, his hair hanging in his face. Elena and Dean enters and he grins at the sight.

"How you feeling, Sammy?" Dean Says He say loudly as Sam and Elena groans again

"Ahh Can you not yell please" Elena says

"I guess mixing whisky and Jäger wasn't such a gangbuster idea, was it?, Ill bet you two don't remember a thing from last night, do you?" Dean Asks

He Groans, "Ohh, I can still taste the tequila." Sam Says As Dean smiles in reliefs

"Me to" Elena Says

"Elena I think you still might have some puke in puke in your hair" Dean Says

"That's just great, Hopefully I'll get through the day with this massive hangover" Elena Says

"You know, there's a really good hangover remedy -- it's a, it's a greasy pork sandwich served up in a dirty ashtray." Dean Says

"Ew" Elena Says

"Oh, I hate you." Sam Says

"I know you do. Hey, turns out when Grandma Rose was a tyke, she had a Creole nanny who wore a hoodoo necklace. Whoo." Dean Says

"So you think she taught Rose hoodoo?" Elena Asks

"Yes I do." Dean Says

"All right. He stands, I think it's time we talked to Rose, then." Sam Says

"Oh. You can brush your teeth first." Dean Says

PIER-POINT INN

Sam, Elena and Dean approach the door marked "PRIVATE" and knock.

"Hello? Susan?" Dean and Elena looks around furtively "Clear?" Sam Says

"Mm-hmm." Dean Says As Sam kneels before the door and picks the lock.

In The Playroom, They enter the creepy doll room and go to the door in the back; it's open, and they go through to find a dimly lit staircase. They creep upstairs and to the end of another hallway, into a small room whose door is ajar. Rose is seated in a wheelchair facing the rainy window, her back to them. They approach cautiously.

"Mrs. Thompson? Mrs. Thompson?." She is trembling and stares at nothing "Rose? Hi, Mrs. Thompson, we're not here to hurt you, it's okay" Sam Says, she does not respond, just trembles harder

"Rose?, guys this woman has had a stroke." Elena Says

"Yeah, but hoodoo's hands-on, I mean, you've got to mix herbs, and chant, and build an altar." Dean Says

"Yeah so it can't be Rose. Hey, maybe it's not even hoodoo." Sam Says

"Or she could be faking." Dean Says

"Yeah, what are you gonna do, poke her with a stick?
Dean frowns, nodding, Elena Shakes her head
"Dude! You're not gonna poke her with a stick!" Sam Says, Susan Enters the room and sees them.

"What the hell?! What are you doing in here?" Susan Asks

"Oh, we just wanted to talk to Rose.." Sam Says

"Well, the door was open..." Dean Says

"Look at her, she is scared out of her wits. I want you out of my hotel in two minutes or I'm calling the cops." Susan Says, They leave without hesitation.

Moments later the Impala rumbles out of the hotel parking lot. Inside the house on the on the Balcony Tyler and Maggie are playing jacks.

"Your turn, Eightsies." Maggie Says

"Have you started packing yet?" Susan Asks

"No." Tyler Says

"Why not?" Susan Asks

"I don't wanna move." Tyler Says

"Yes, I know, but we have to." Susan Says

"But Maggie says we're not allowed to move." Tyler Says

"Yeah." Maggie Says

"Tyler, enough. Maggie is imaginary. You're too old to have an imaginary friend and I am done pretending." Susan says

"I don't like her." Maggie Says

PIER-POINT INN

Susan walks outside and places a box in the trunk of a small red car parked outside. Sherwin pulls up in a red pickup truck.

"I can lug those boxes for you." Sherwin Asks

"I got it, Sherwin, thanks." Susan Says

"Okay then. See you later." Sherwin Says Then He drives off

In the Playroom , Tyler winds up a toy and watches it go back and forth. The miniature swingset beside her starts moving on its own. She stares at it.

On The Playground A creepy wind blows, and Susan stares as the full-sized swingset also begins moving on its own. She approaches the playground cautiously; all the playsets are moving, and the car starts behind her. She lays a hand on the teeter-totter to stop it. Everything starts moving faster,
and suddenly the car revs its engine and comes straight at her. At the last moment Sam appears, tackling her out of the way.

"Are you okay? Sam Asks

"I think so." Susan Says

"Come on, come on. Let's get inside, let's go." Dean Says

PIER-POINT INN

THE BAR

Sam, Dean and Elena guide Susan into the bar and to a table.

"Whisky." Susan Says

"No problem" Elena Says

"Sure. I know the feeling." Sam Says As They help her into the inn.

"What the hell happened out there?" Susan Asks

As they all sit at the bar while Elena is behind the counter pouring Susan a drink.

"You want the truth?" Dean Asks

"Of course." Susan Says

"Well, at first we thought it was some sort of hoodoo curse, but that out there? That was definitely a spirit." Dean Says, Elena then hands Susan
a glass of whisky.

"Here." Elena Says

"You're insane." Susan Says

"Yeah, it's been said." Elena Says, she then pours herself a shot of whiskey.

"Look, I'm sorry, Susan. We don't exactly have time to ease you into this, but we need to know when your mother had the stroke." Sam Says

"What does that have to do with any—" Susan Says

"Just answer the question." Sam Says

"About a month ago." Susan Says

"Right before the killings began. See? So what if Rose was working hoodoo, but not to hurt anyone. To protect them." Sam Says

"She was using the five spot urns to ward off the spirit." Dean Says, Elena try's to take a sip of her drink he takes it from her.

"Wha-" Elena Says, Dean winks at her then drinks the whiskey.

"Right, until she had a stroke and she couldn't anymore." Sam Says

"I don't believe this." Susan Says

"Listen, sister, that car didn't try to run you down by itself, okay? I mean, I guess it did, technically, but, but the spirit can-forget it." Elena Says

"Look, believe what you want. But the fact is you and your family are in danger, all right? So you need to clear everybody out of here: your employees, your mother, your daughters, everyone." Sam Says

"Um, I only have one daughter." Susan Says

"One?" Sam Says

"I thought Tyler had a sister named Maggie." Dean Says

"Maggie's imaginary." Susan Says

"Where's Tyler?" Sam Asks

ATTIC

In The Attic, Maggie is standing in front of a terrified Rose.

"She's going to stay here with me. And you can't stop me. There's nothing you can do about it." Maggie Says Tyler Enters the room

"Maggie, don't! You're not supposed to bother grandma." Tyler Says

"I know. Come on. Let's play." Maggie Says

"Can we have a tea party?" Tyler Asks

"We can have lots of tea parties. Forever and ever and ever." Maggie Says
