CANAAN, VERMONT

RUFUS TURNER'S HOUSE

Dean climbs the tall stairs onto the porch. A handwritten sign says "No solicitors, that means you! No asking for donations. No selling ANYTHING!", Dean rings the buzzer, then bangs on the security door. He hears a noise and looks up to see a security camera moving to train on him.

"What?" Rufus Asks As He Can See a view of Dean through the security camera.

"Hi, uh, Rufus?" Dean Says

"Yeah, even if I am, the question is still the same. What?" Rufus Says

"Uh, I'm Dean Winchester. I'm a friend of Bobby Singer's." Dean Says

"So?" Rufus Says

"You called him this morning." Dean Says

"So?" Rufus Says

"Uh... Dean tries to grin at the security camera, ...you told Bobby about a British chick who made contact with you." Dean Says

"And so?" Rufus Says

"You know where she is?" Dean Asks

"Yeah." Rufus Says

"Great. Could you tell me where I could find her?" Dean Asks

"No." Rufus Says

"Course not, Look Rufus man..." Dean Says Then
Rufus Opens the door

"Look, let me point something out to you. You are knocking at my door, so don't "Look, man" me. I'm not your man." Rufus Says

"I'm sorry, sir." Dean Says

"All right, let me tell you a little story. See, once upon a time, Bobby called me, asked me to call him if I got a whiff of this Bela Talbot. I got a whiff. I called. The end." Bobby Says

"Okay, yeah, if you could just tell me where she is, I mean, that would be great." Dean Says

"Dean Winchester, right?" Rufus Asks

"Yeah." Dean Says

"Dean, do I look like I'm here to help you?" Rufus Asks

"I'm gonna say no?" Dean Says

"Then get the hell of my property." Rufus Says

"All right, yeah, fair enough. I got one more question for you, though. See, I got this, uh, this bottle of scotch, and... uh, is this considered good?" Dean Says As Rufus eyes the bottle, eyes Dean, and starts smiling.

Dean and Rufus sit at the table with glasses in front of them. The bottle is three quarters empty.

"Bottoms up." Dean Says As They click glasses and drink.

"You know, I don't even bother drinking unless it's this stuff. Nectar of the Gods, I'm telling you." Rufus Says

"Yeah, it's a nice change, you know. Most of my whiskey comes from a plastic jug, They both laugh "So Bela was here because..." Dean Says

"She wanted to buy a couple of things, which is gonna take me some time to round up." Rufus Says

"Where is she now?" Dean Asks As Rufus watches Him closely.

"Can I ask you something?" Rufus Says

"Sure." Dean Says

"You got three weeks left. Why are you wasting your time chasing after that skinny, stuck-up English girl?" Rufus Asks

"How do you know about that?" Dean Asks

"Because I know things. I know a lot of things about a lot of people." Rufus Says

"Is that so?" Dean Says

"I know ain't no peashooter gonna save you." Rufus Says

"What makes you so sure?" Dean Asks

"Cause that's the job, kid. Even if you manage to scrape out of this one, there's just gonna be something else down the road. Folks like us...there ain't no happy ending. We all got it coming." Rufus Says

"Well, ain't you a bucket of sunshine?" Dean Says

"I'm what you've got to look forward to if you survive, He Smirks and raising his glass again, But you won't." Rufus Says

DIRT ROAD

Sam pulls over his rental car and turns off the engine.  Elena checks the map again, They gets out of the car and starts walking into the forest.

RUFUS'S CABIN

"So, Bela..." Dean Says

"Hotel Canaan. Room 39. But watch your back." Rufus Says

"I think I can handle Bela." Dean Says

"Oh, don't be so sure about that. There are things that you don't know about her." Rufus Says

"Oh, and you do? Right. Because you know things." Dean Says

"Yep." Rufus Says

"And let me guess...you lift her fingerprint?" Dean Asks

"Yep." Rufus Says

"And that got you jack" Dean Says

"Yep. She burnt them off. Probably years ago." Rufus Says

"Yeah, so you're right where we are." Dean Says

"Nope, You do her ear?" Rufus Says

"Sorry?" Dean Says

"You do her ear?" Rufus Says

"Hey, man, I'll try anything once, but I don't know. That sounds uncomfortable." Dean Says

"Ears are as unique to humans as fingerprints." Rufus Says

"No kidding." Dean Says

"Of course, that don't fly in the courts over here, but in England, they're all over it. A friend of a friend...of a friend faxed me 10 pages of confidential files within a day. All I had to send him was one clean shot off the security camera." Rufus Says

"Right. One clean shot of her ear." Dean Says As Rufus Hands him a folder

"The so-called Bela Talbot." Rufus Says

DOC BENTON'S CABIN

Sam and Elena enters with a torch in and looks around. He finds a journal and pockets it. He moves to the cellar. A man's dead body is lying on the operating table. They keep looking around and hears a slight noise and through ragged curtains sees another body. They moves closer a woman is strapped down an another the operating table, her arm stretched out beside her and covered in maggots. She is missing skin, Sam leans in to place his fingers on the pulse point of her neck. The woman gasps and her eyes spring open. Sam and Elena becomes startled

"Shh! Shh! Shh! It's okay, We're here to help you

"Were here to help you. I'm gonna help you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Elena Says As Sam grabs a cloth and wraps it around her arm, shhing her the whole time.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Sam Says As They hear a door open upstairs. The woman starts crying, unable to help herself, Sam covers her mouth but Doc Benton hears and starts down the stairs with a lamp to investigate, The woman, Elena and Sam are gone. Doc Benton looks up to see a window open.

OUTSIDE DOC BENTON'S CABIN

Sam carries the victim to his rental car, Elena Follows Then Gets in the backseat, Sam Places the woman in the passenger seat

"Okay, watch your head, watch your head. Sorry." Sam Says As He runs around and gets into the driver's seat, Benton comes out of nowhere and grabs Sam's head and slams it against the wheel. Sam reverses wildly, his passenger and Elena screaming

"SAM DRIVE!" Elena Yells As Sam changes gear and floors it, driving straight over Benton, As the car speeds away Benton rises and looks after them, his head at a crazy angle.

BELA'S HOTEL ROOM

Bela enters, turning to close the door behind her. Dean pushes her back against the door, He lays his arm across her throat and points his gun at her face.

"Where's the Colt?" Dean Asks

"Dean." Bela Says

"No extra words." Dean Says

"It's long gone, across the world by now." Bela Says

"You're lying." Dean Says As He grabs her bag from her hand to look in it.

"I'll call the buyer. Speak Farsi?" Bela Asks As Dean grabs her around the waist, pulling her against him,
What the hell are you..."

Dean quickly frisks her, finds her gun and holds it up to her.

"Don't flatter yourself." Dean Says As he uses the point of his gun to snap on the room's lights, then points it at her again, Don't move"

He begins searching the room, leaving Bela standing against the door.

"I told you I don't have it." Bela Says

"Oh, yeah, I'm definitely gonna take your word for it." Dean Says As He turns his back and continues rifling through her drawers, Bela slides along the wall toward the door. A bullet goes through the door, inches from her head. She freezes.

"Don't move." He continues searching.

"It's gone. Get on a plane if you must. Track down the buyer. You might catch up to him eventually." Bela Says As Dean finishes searching and returns to Bela is taking a stance and pointing his gun at her head, Are you going to kill me?"

"Oh, yeah." Dean Says

"You're not the cold-blooded type." Bela Says

"You mean like you? That's true. See, I couldn't imagine killing my parents." Dean Says

"I don't know what you're talking..." Bela Says

"Yes, you do. You were, what, 14? Folks died in some shady car accident. Police suspected a slashed brake line, but it was all too crispy to tell. Cut to little Bela...Oh, I'm sorry, Abby...inheriting millions." Dean Says

"How did you even..." Bela Says

"Doesn't matter." Dean Says

FLASHBACK

Young Abby is sitting on her bed, crying. A man slowly walks into the room and turns to close the door. She looks terrified.

"They were lovely people. And I killed them. And I got rich. I can't be bothered to give a damn. Just like I don't care what happens to you." Bela Says As Dean pushes her roughly against the door with his arm across her throat again. A strand of woven herbs is dislodged from the ledge above the door but no one notices.

"You make me sick." Dean Says

"Likewise." Bela Says As Dean takes a step back and again points his gun at her head, smirking. She stares back, then closes her eyes, Dean is distracted and looks up, spying the herbs hanging over the ledge. He looks back at her, thinking, Bela opens her eyes as Dean drops the gun.

"You're not worth it." Dean Says As He drags her aside and leaves, Bela lifts her hand which now has a scrap of paper in it. She looks at it, a motel receipt, The Erie And She grabs her phone.

"It worked. He found me. No, Sam wasn't with him. But I know where they are." Bela Says

___________________________________

MOTEL ROOM

Elena's phone rings and She picks up

"Dean." Elena Says

"Yeah, Hey Where is Sam?" Dean Says In The Impala

"Sam Went Out Real Quick He Should be back, But
Did you get the Colt?" Elena Asks

"What do you think?" Dean Says

"So, does that mean Bela is, uh..." Elena Says

"No, no, she deserves to die a dozen times over, but I couldn't do it." Dean Says

"Dean..." Elena Says

"I'm really screwed, Lena." Dean Says

"No, you're just..." Elena Says

"But you were right. Bela was a goose chase. The Colt's gone, and this time I'm really screwed, Elena."

"Maybe not. Look, Dean, Sam and I found Benton's cabin." Elena Says

"You okay? Was he there?" Dean Asks

"Yeah." Elena Says

"Did you guys kill him?" Dean Asks

"Well No, Sam Did run him over though" Elena Says

"What do you mean?" Dean Says

"Dean, please just listen for a second. We found his lab book, and it has the formula." Elena Says

"What, the live-forever formula?" Dean Asks

"Yeah." Elena Says

"Great, let me guess. I got to drink blood out of a baby's skull?" Dean Says

"No, that's the thing. It's not black magic. There's no blood sacrifice or anything. It's just science, Dean. Very, very extremely weird science, but..." Elena Says

"Wait, wait, wait. What are...What are you saying? You think..." Dean Says

"Dean, I think it might be doable. I mean, I know we've hit a lot of walls, but I...I think this formula, I think it might be it. This could save you." Elena Says

"Okay, so, this formula..." Dean Says

"Well, I mean, look, look, we're not in the clear yet. There are still things that Sam and I don't get..." Elena says As An arm comes from behind Elena and covers her mouth with a rag, Elena drops the phone. It is Doc Benton.

"Elena..Elena, Lena!" Dean Says

DOC BENTON'S CABIN

Elena is strapped to an operating table, Her eyes are taped open.

"You can relax. It's all gonna be okay. Ain't nothing gonna happen here that you got to worry about, Elena, Your chances of coming out of this procedure alive? Very, very high." Doc Benton Says

"How do you know my name?" Elena Asks

"Oh...I know. You think I'm some kind of monster, don't you? Well, I got to tell you, I have never done one thing that I did not have to do. This whole eternal-life thing is very high-maintenance. If something goes bad, like my eyes here...you got to replace them. And sometimes things get damaged, like when your friends father cut out my heart. Now, that...That was very inconvenient. So, I'm sure that you can understand all the joy I felt when I read all about myself here in John's journal, Kind of makes this whole thing just feel like some kind of reunion, don't it? Well, I guess it's about time that we get this thing started." Doc Benton Says As He brings his scoop very close to Elena's eye. Several shots ring out, shooting Doc Benton from behind He turns and sees Dean and Sam

"Shoot all you want" Doc Benton Says As He approaches and Dean and Sam who lets loose two more bullets, Doc Benton throws Sam and Dean into the wall and they falls to the ground, Doc approaches again, leaning down, Dean plunges a knife into Doc Benton's chest.

"A knife? What part of immortality do you not understand? Pity about the heart, though. It was a brand-new one." Doc Benton Says

"Good. It should be pumping nice and strong...He holds up a bottle of chloroform, Sending this stuff throughout your whole body. See, I picked up your little bottle upstairs and dipped the knife in it." Dean Says Then Doc Benton collapses.

Then Doc Benton awakes strapped to the operating table, Dean, Elena and Sam stand over him.

"Oh, hiya, Doc. Wakey, wakey, eggs and bac-y." Dean Says

"Please." Doc Benton Says

"Please what? You've been killing poor bastards for over 150 years and now you got a request? Shut up." Dean Says

"No, you don't understand. I can help you. I know what you need." Doc Benton Says

"We might have to cut him up into little bits. You know, this immortality thing is a bitch." Dean Says

"I can read the formula for you. You Know....immortality...Forever young, never die." Doc Benton Says

"Dean." Sam Says

"Sam." Dean Says As He walks out of the room Leaving Elena With Doc, He indicates that Dean should follow.

"What?" Dean Says

"I mean, we're talking hell in three weeks. Or needing a new pancreas in like half a century." Sam Says

"Yeah, well, you can't exactly get those at a Kwik-E-Mart." Dean Says

"It's not perfect, but it buys us more time to think of something better. We just need time, Dean. I mean, please, just...just think about it." Sam Says

"No." Dean Says

"Dean, don't you want to live?" Sam Asks

"What he is isn't living. Look, this is simple." Dean Says

"Simple?" Sam Says

"To me it is, okay. Black or white human, not human, Dean walks back to stand in front of Doc Benton, See what the Doc is is a freakin' monster. I can't do it. I would rather go to hell." Dean Says

"You don't understand. I can help you!" Doc Benton Says As Elena covers a rag with more chloroform and places it over Doc Benton mouth.

"Shhhh....Night Night Doc" Elena Says

"Now, I'm gonna take care of him. You can either help me or not. It's up to you." Dean Says

Doc Benton wakes and lights a match. He is in a box. He can't get the lid open, the box from the outside It is a refrigerator laid in a hole in the ground. The Doc's book lies on top.

"No! No! Don't! Stop it! I can help you! No!" Doc Benton Says

"Enjoy forever in there, Doc." Elena Says As She, Sam and Dean begin shovelling in the hole.

"Let me out! I can save you! No. Don't" Doc Benton Says

MOTEL

Bela slowly walks down the hallway and picks the lock on a door. She removes a gun from her jacket and quietly enters. She raises the gun and puts two bullets into the bodies lying under the covers on each bed, then moves closer, turning on a bedside lamp. A clock beside the lamp shows it is 11.56 pm.

Bela pulls back the covers to find a sex doll slowly deflating. She checks the other bed, another sex doll. The phone rings and she quickly picks it up.

IMPALA

"Hiya, Bela. Here's a fun fact you may not know. I felt your hand in my pocket, when you swiped that motel receipt." Dean Says

"You don't understand." Bela Says

IMPALA

Dean's In The Car With Sam and Elena

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I understand perfectly. See, I noticed something interesting in your hotel room. Something tucked above the door. An herb Devil's shoestring? There's only one use for that. Holding hellhounds at bay. So you know what I did, I went back and I took another look at your folks' obit. Turns out they died ten years ago today. You didn't kill them. A demon did your dirty work. You made a deal, didn't you, Bela. And it's come due." Dean says

FLASHBACK

A Young Abby sits on a swing, A little girl sits beside her, very self-possessed.

"I can take care of them for you. And it won't even cost you anything...for ten whole years." The Girl Says As Her eyes turn red, then go back to normal.

END FLASHBACK

"Is that why you stole the Colt, huh? Try to wiggle out of your deal, our gun for your soul?" Dean Asks

"Yes." Bela says

"But stealing the Colt wasn't quite enough, I'm guessing." Dean Says

"They changed the deal. They wanted me to kill Sam." Bela Says

"Really! Wow, demons untrustworthy. Shocker. That's, uh, kind of a tight deadline too – what time is it? Well, look at that, almost midnight." Dean Says

"Dean, listen, I need help." Bela Says As She Starts To Cry

"Sweetheart, we are weeks past help." Dean Says

"I know I don't deserve it." Bela Says

"You know what, you're right, you don't. But you know what the bitch of the bunch is? If you would have just come to us sooner and asked for help we probably could have taken the Colt and saved you." Dean Says

"I know, and saved yourself. I know about your deal, Dean." Bela Says

"And who told you that?" Dean Asks

"The Demon that holds it. She holds mine too. She said she holds every deal" Bela Says

"She?" Dean Says

"Her name's Lilith." Bela Says

"Lilith? Why should I believe you?" Dean Says

"You shouldn't but it's the truth." Bela Says

"This can't help you, Bela, not now. Why you telling me this?" Dean Asks

"Because just maybe you can kill the bitch." Bela Says

"I'll see you in hell" Dean says He hangs up.

Bela sits on the bed listening to the dial tone. She hangs up and takes a deep breath just as the clock clicks over to midnight. A deep howling starts in the distance, then closer vicious growls begin.
