WARREN HOUSE

Elena, Sam and Dean are staking out the home of Peter Warren. They're in the Impala, and Sam is doing research, reading papers.

"Anything good?" Dean Asks

"No, not really. I mean, both brothers are Duke University grads. No criminal record. I mean, a few speeding tickets. They inherited their father's real estate fortune six years ago." Sam Says

"How much?" Dean Asks

"$112 million." Sam Says

"Wow" Elena Says

"Nice life." Dean Says

"Yeah. I mean, nice, clean, aboveboard. So why did they see the ship? Why Sheila, too? What do they all have in common?" Sam Says

"Maybe nothing." Elena Says

"No. There's always something." Sam Says As Peter spotted them, and has come out of his house toward them, stopping inside his security gate

"Hey, you!" Peter Says

"I think we've been made." Dean Says

They get out of the car and approach him.

"What are you guys doing?! You watching me?" Peter Asks

"Sir, calm down. Please." Sam Says

"You guys aren't cops! Not dressed like that. Not – not in that crappy car." Peter Says

"Whoa, hey. No need to get nasty." Dean Says

"We are cops, okay? We're undercover. We're here because we think you're in danger." Elena Says

"From who?!" Peter Asks

"If you just settle down, we'll talk about it." Sam Says

"Look, you guys just stay away from me!" Peter Says As He runs to his own car and starts to drive it toward the gate

"Wait!" Sam Says

"Hey, you moron! We're trying to help you!" Dean Says As Peter's car approaches the gate, the car shudders, coughs, and dies.

"That can't be good." Elena Says

"No. Get the salt gun." Sam Says As Dean runs back to the Impala as Sam and Elena dashes to help. Inside Peter's car, a spirit dressed in old seaman's clothes and a navy coat, his long hair dripping into his eyes, appears in the rear seat. Peter turns to look but the spirit is gone; then it re-appears in the front passenger seat. It turns to Peter and glares, then reaches out to touch his cheek. Peter convulses, choking on water that spills out of his mouth and struggling to get a breath. He scrabbles for the door, which locks itself, and he slumps over. Sam and Elena arrives at the car.

"Peter!" Sam Says As Peter doesn't respond, but the spirit glares straight at Sam. Dean arrives on the other side and aims the salt gun at the spirit.

"Sam!" Dean Says As Sam ducks as Dean fires. The spirit disappears, and Elena reaches through the shattered glass to unclock the car doors. Sam yanks the drive-side door open. He pulls Peter back and checks for a pulse, but after a few seconds his shoulders slump and he sighs, shaking his head at Dean, Dean kicks the door in frustration.

___________________________________

Sam, Dean and Elena are driving along in the Impala with the radio going, talking about the incoming weather.

"When what started out as a mild, severe weather front headed in from the Northwest. Expect heavy lightning and thunder, with sudden rainfall—" Radio Says Then Dean Turns off the radio

"Do you wanna say it or should I?" Dean Says

"What?" Sam Says

"You can't save everybody, Sam." Dean Says

"Yeah, right, so – so what, you feel better now or what?" Sam Asks

"No, not really." Dean Says

"Me neither." Sam Says

"You gotta understa—" Dean Says

"It's just lately, I feel like I can't save anybody." Sam Says As Eerie music followed by a view of the Impala speeding along

Daytime, outside the house Sam, Elena and Dean are staying in.

Sam is reading, Dean on his phone and Elena is on her laptop. Then there's a knock at the door

Dean checks the door and sees that it is Bela, They All share a long look before Dean opens the door.

"Dear ... God. Sam sighs,Are you actually squatting? Charming.So how'd things go last night with Peter?" Bela Asks As Sam, Elena and Dean don't respond
,That well, huh?"

"If you say 'I told you so', I swear to God I'll start swinging." Dean Says

"Look, I think the three of us should have a heart-to-heart." Bela Says

"That's assuming that you have a heart." Dean Says

"Dean, please... I'm sorry about what I said before, okay? I come bearing gifts." Bela Says

"Such as?" Sam Says

"I've ID'd the ship." Bela Says As She starts to unzip a portfolio file

"It's the Espírito Santo, a merchant sailing vessel, quite a colorful history. In 1859 a sailor was accused of treason. He was tried aboard ship in a kangaroo court and hanged. He was 37." Bela Says

"Which would explain the 37 year cycle." Elena Says

"Aren't you a sharp tack?..There's a photo of him somewhere ... flipping through file... here." Bela Says

"Isn't that the customer we saw last night?" Dean Asks

"You saw him?" Bela Says

"Yeah, that's him, except he was missing a hand." Dean Says

"His right hand?" Bela Says

"How'd you know?" Sam Asks

"The sailor's body was cremated, but not before they cut off his hand to make a hand of glory." Bela Says

"A hand of glory? I think I got one of those at the end of my Thai massage last week" Dean Says

"Dean, the right hand of a hanged man is a serious occult object. It's very powerful." Elena Says

"So they say." Bela Says

"And officially counts as remains." Dean Says

"But still, none of this explains why the ghost is choosing these victims." Sam Says

"I'll tell you why. Who cares? Find the hand, burn it, and stop the bloody thing." Bela Says

"I don't get it. Why are you telling us all of this?" Dean Asks

"Because I know exactly where the hand is." Bela Says

"Where?" Dean Says

"At the Sea Pines Museum. It's a macabre bit of maritime history. But I need help." Bela Says

"What kind of help?" Sam Asks As Bela smiles.

Evening . The house is filled with lit candles. Bela is waiting in the living room of Sam, Elena and Dean house, no one else is around. Bela is wearing an evening gown with quite a lot of glittery necklace.

"What is taking so long? Sam's already halfway there... with his date and Elena Said She'll Meet Us There Soon.

"So not okay with this!" Dean Says

"What are you, a woman? Come down already." Bela Says As Dean descends the stairs as Bela sighs in appreciation.

"All right, get it out – I look ridiculous." Dean Says

"Not exactly the word I'd use." Bela Says

"What?" Dean Says

"You know, when this is over, we should really have angry sex." Bela Says

"Don't objectify me, Let's Go" Dean Says

Dean and Bela pull into the Sea Pines Museum parking lot in the Impala.

SEA PINES MUSUEM

Murmurs from the black tie gathering.

Bela and Dean walk in, arm in arm. Bela hands an invitation to the doorman.

"Are you chewing gum?...Try to behave as if you've lived this life before, yeah?" Bela Says As Dean looks around, takes out his gum, and sticks it under the flowing champagne fountain. Bela looks appalled and rolls her eyes. Dean gives her a thumbs-up and they walk into the gathering.

Gert is handing her invitation to the doorman. Her hair is down, and she walks over to Sam, also in a tux, lacing her arm through his.

"This'll get their tongues wagging, eh, my Adonis?" Gert Asks

"Just remember, we're on business." Sam Says

"Ooooh, but sometimes business can be pleasure, hmm?" Gert Says As she slides a hand up his chest seductively

"Right." Sam Says As They walk arm-and-arm into the room. Gert runs a hand over Sam's back possessively. Sam chuckles nervously,You know, uh, could you excuse me for a moment?"

"Of course." Gert Says

"Great. Thanks. Thanks. Sam pats her hand and walks over to Bela and Dean, Exactly how long do you expect me to entertain my date?" Sam Asks

"As long as it takes." Bela Says

"Look, there's security all over this place, all right. This is an uncrashable party without Gert's invitation, so..."

"We can crash anything, Dean." Sam Says

"Yeah, I know, but this is easier and it's a lot more entertaining." Dean Says

"You know there are limits to what I'll do, right?" Sam Says

"Ah, he's playing hard to get, that's cute. Come on. want all the details in the morning!"Dean Says
As Sam smiles tightly.

"Thank you." Bela Says Then Elena Finally Arrives And She Is Wearing a royal blue evening dress with her hair curled she hands the doorman her invitation While Sam, Dean and Bela Look At Her

"You Finally Decided to Join Us" Bela Says

"Hey Guys" Elena Says

"Wow Elena" Sam Says

"Wow" Dean Says

"Thanks Guys, sorry I took to long I found this at thrift shop I just had to buy it" Elena Says

"You Look Very Nice Elena" Sam Says

"Thank You Sammy, So What's The Plan?" Elena Says

"Me and Bela Are Gonna Try and Figure a way to get pass security while Sam distracts his date" Dean Says

"So What Should I do?" Elena Asks

"Lay Low Okay Blend Okay" Dean Says

"Okay Then" Elena Says Then Dean and Bela Leaves
Sam adjusts his tuxedo considering his next move. Two glasses of champagne appear before him, followed by Gert's hand, offering him a glass and a toast.

"To us." Gert Says As Sam looks at the champagne reluctantly than swigs the whole glass. Gert and Elena looks at him.

"I'll Leave you two alone then" Elena Says then she walks away

Bela and Dean are walking through to a less crowded room, talking in undertones to each other.

"Private security?" Bela Asks

"I don't think so. Look at the way they're standing. They're pros. Probably state troopers moonlighting." Dean Says

"Posted to every door, too." Bela Says

"Yeah, I don't think we're just going to be able to waltz upstairs." Dean Says

"What do you suggest?" Bela Asks

"I'm thinking." Dean Says

"Don't strain yourself.Interesting how the legend is so much more than the man." Bela Says

"You got any bright ideas, I'm all ears." Dean Says

"Okay." Bela Says As She groans and falls into Dean's arms toward the floor. Dean, holding her, kneels down next to her

"Honey? Honey, are you all right? He looks around, calls a waiter over, Waiter! Hi. Uh, my wife has a severe shellfish allergy. Th-ere's no crab in that? Is there?" Dean Asks

"No, sir." Waiter Says

"No?,He takes an appetizer from the silver tray and shoves it in his mouth.Oh they're excellent, by the way." Dean Says

"What seems to be the trouble?" Guard Asks

"Ah ... champagne! My wife, she's a lightweight when it comes to the sauce. Is there somewhere I can lay her down till she gets her sea legs back?" Dean Says
As the Guard looks around, towards upstairs

"Follow me." The Guard Says

"Right. He Hands BELA's purse to the Guard, Thank you. Dean groans as he lifts Bela up, Come on, you lush." Dean Says

A few moments later, Dean lays Bela down on a red leather couch.

"You think she's a pain in the ass now, try living with her. Bela's eyes pop open,Thank you very much." Dean Say As he sees the Guard to the door, possibly tipping him or just getting Bela's purse back? and shuts it behind him as Bela sits up as he tosses her black bag to her, Hey maybe next time give me a little heads up with your plan?"

"I didn't want you thinking. You're not very good at that. Dean Sighs, Oh, look at you. Searching for a witty rejoinder." Bela Says

"Screw you." Dean Says

"Very Oscar Wilde. Room 235. It's in a locked glass case wired for alarm, I'm sure that won't be a problem." Bela Says

"I'm sure that won't be a problem." Dean Mumbles
As he walks out the door, leaving Bela on the couch looking smug.

"Umm, ah, I'm sure they're entertaining themselves." Sam Says
