CORRIDOR

"No, I, I followed him into the bathroom." Dean Says

The coroner people roll a body bag past, again with an audience. Dean is talking to a police officer.

"He was, uh—he was standing there in front of the mirror, and then—" Dean says

Dean sees Sam and stops.

"Continue. Sir." Officer Says

"And he stabbed himself in the neck. I'm sorry, that's, um.." Dean Says

CUBICLE FARM

A printer whirs and spits out a paper. A fax machine whirs and sucks in papers. An automatic pencil sharpener whirs. A phone rings. Sam answers the phone.

"Tech support, this is Sam." Dean Says

"I need to see you in my office. Now." Dean Says
As Sam Hangs Up

DEAN'S OFFICE

Elena Helps buttons up Deans fresh shirt, He looks up at a knock.

"Am I interrupting?" Sam Says

"Oh No I was just helping Dean" Elena Says

"Right" Sam Says

"Elena Would you excuse us, I need to speak with him in private" Dean Says

"Oh Sure I have to meet with HR later anyways" Elena Says Then she Leaves The Room

"Come on in. Shut the door." Dean Says

Sam closes the door behind himself.

"Who the hell are you?" Dean Asks

"I'm not sure I know." Sam Says

"What the hell does that mean?" Dean Says

"Sam Wesson. I started here three weeks ago." Sam Says

"All right. You cornered me in the elevator talking about ghosts. And now..." Dean Says

"Now what?" Sam Says

"Now nothing. I, uh...so you started working here three weeks ago, huh?" Dean Says

Sam nods.

"Yeah, me too." Dean Says

Sam Sighs as Dean unscrews the top of a bottle.

"It's the Master Cleanse. You tried it? Phenomenal. Detoxes you like nobody's business." Dean Says

"When you were in that bathroom with Ian, did you see something?" Sam Asks

"I don't know. I don't know what I saw." Dean Says

"Wait. Are you saying that—did you see a ghost?" Sam Says

"I was freaking out. The guy penciled his damn neck." Dean says

"You did, didn't you? Okay, listen. What if these suicides aren't suicides? I mean, what if they're something not natural?" Sam Says

"So, what, ghosts are real? And they're responsible for all the dead bodies around here? Is that what you're telling me?" Dean Says

Dean & Sam finally sit down, in unison.

"I know it sounds crazy. But yes. That's what I'm telling you." Sam Says

"Uh-huh. Based on what?" Dean Asks

"Instinct." Sam Says

"I've got the same instinct." Dean Says

"Seriously? You know those dreams I was telling you about? I was dreaming about ghosts." Sam Says

"Yeah." Dean Says

"And then it turns out that there's a real ghost." Sam Says

"So you're telling me that your dreams are special visions and you're some kind of psychic?" Dean Says

"No. I mean, that would be nuts. I'm just saying something weird is definitely going on around here, right? So I've been digging around a little." Sam Says

Sam pulls papers out of his bag.

"Yeah?" Dean Says

"I think I found a connection between the two guys." Sam Says as he passes over the papers. Dean looks at them.

"You broke into their email accounts?" Dean Says

"I used some skills that I happen to have to satisfy my curiosity." Sam Says

"Nice." Dean says

"Yeah. Okay. So it turns out Ian and Paul both got this same email telling them to report to HR, room fourteen forty-four." Sam Says

"HR's on seven." Dean Says

"Exactly." Sam Says

"Should we go check this out?" Dean says

"Like right now?" Sam Says

"No. No, it's getting late. You're right." Dean Says

"I am dying to check this out right now." Sam Says

"Right?" Dean Says

CORRIDOR

Elena comes through, looking around. She finds door number 1444 and goes inside. It's a storeroom.

STOREROOM

"Hello? Hello?" Elena Says

The door slams shut behind Elena. She rattles the doorknob. it's locked. Elena looks around, seeing no indication of anyone else. All the monitors abruptly come on, showing only static. Her breath is briefly visible. Everything rattles.

CORRIDOR

Dean & Sam are coming down the corridor when they hear Elena yelling and hurry to room 1444. It's still locked.

"HELP!" Elena Says as she bangs on the door

"Elena?" Dean Says

"Dean, Sam Help Me!" Elena Says

"Alright Hold On Elena Stand Back" Sam Says

STOREROOM

Sam kicks the door open.

"Whoa." Dean Says

A shelf has fallen on Elena. Dean & Sam hurry over to lift it off him. The Old Man from the bathroom appears behind Dean and flings him into the wall, then shoves Sam over. His hands spark lightning. Dean gets up and swings at the Old Man with a wrench. The Old Man dissipates before he can touch Elena. The monitors shut off and everything stops shaking. Dean & Sam lift the shelves so Elena can scoot out from underneath.

"Thanks Guys" Elena Says

"No Problem" Dean Says

"How'd you know how to do that?" Sam Asks

"I have no idea." Dean Says

"What the hell is going on?" Elena Asks

"Look Elena It's Kinda hard to explain right now" Dean Says

"Yeah I think it's best if you just go home, where your safe" Sam Says

"Safe, Uh No you see I just had a heavy ass shelf fall on top of me nearly killing me. So no I'm not going home I'm coming with you two, I deserve to know what's going on" Elena Says

"Okay Then" Dean Says

"Good I'll meet you guys downstairs" Elena Says

Elena Leaves the room While Sam & Dean Check Her Out, and they look back at each other

"Dibs" Dean Says

"Dude" Sam Says

"Already Called it" Dean Says

DEAN'S APARTMENT

Dean drinks his Master Cleanse.

"Holy crap, dude." Dean Says

"Yeah. I could use a beer." Sam Says

"Me To" Elena Says

The room is now visible, it's all as upper-class expensive-looking.

"Oh, sorry, man. I'm on the Cleanse. I got rid of all the carbs in the house." Dean Says

"Hey. How the hell did you know that ghosts are scared of wrenches?" Sam Says

"That's what that thing was, A Ghost?" Elena Says

"Yeah" Sam Says

Dean hands Sam & Elena Water bottles.

"Crazy, right? And nice job kicking that door too. That was very Jet Li. What are you, like a black belt or something?" Dean Says

"No. I have no clue how I did that. It's like...we've done this before." Sam Says

"What do you mean, before? Like Shirley MacLaine before?" Elena Says

"No. I—I just can't shake this feeling like I—like I don't belong here. You know? Like I should do something more than sit in a cubicle." Sam Says

"I think most people who work in a cubicle feel that same way." Dean Says

"Yeah" Elena Says

"No. Well, look, it's more than that. Like, I don't like my job. I don't like this town. I don't like my clothes. I don't like my own last name. I don't know how else to explain it, except that...it feels like I should be doing something else. There's just something in my blood. Like I was destined for something different. What about you two ? You ever feel that way?" Sam Says

"I don't believe in destiny. I do believe in dealing with what's right in front of us, though." Dean Says

"All right, so, what do we do now?" Sam Asks

"We do what I do best, Sammy. Research." Dean Says

"Okay. Did you just call me Sammy?" Sam Says

"Did I?" Dean Says

"I think you did. Yeah. Don't." Sam Says

"Sorry." Dean Says

Dean sits at one laptop at a corner desk and Sam & Elena at another laptop at a table.

"Oh, jackpot." Dean Says

"What you got?" Elena Asks

"I just found the best site ever. Real, actual ghost hunters." Dean Says

Sam & Elena goes over to see.

"These guys are genius. Check it out." Dean Says

"Instructional videos." Sam Says

Dean is looking at the Ghostfacers website. He pulls up a video. Ed & Harry of the Ghostfacers are wearing white lab coats.

"We know why you're watching." Ed Says

"You've got a problem." Harry Says

"A ghost problem." Ed Says

"A ghost-related problem. A ghost—it's like a ghost-adjacent pr—it's like a problem that's—and the ghost is—" Harry Says

"Whatever. You've come to the right place. The only decent place, really, because the Ghostfacers know how to solve it." Ed Says

"Period." Harry Says

"Watch and learn." Ed Says

"See, the first step in any supernatural fight" Harry Says

"Figure out what you're up against."

Dean looks over at Sam, On His laptop is an article about the death of Sandover's founder it has a picture.

"That's him. That's the ghost." Dean Says

"P. T. Sandover. Died 1916. Devoted his life to his work. No wife, no kids." Sam Says

The article text visible next to the picture reads "Office 1444 was considered to be the center of the company's operations, with Sandover himself overseeing all details of any construction project the company undertook. / Considered to be a difficult person to work for, P.T. Sandover had an exceptionally high standard of quality, often marching onto construction sites and halting all work until he personally inspected each aspect of the structure. Aiming for perfection is perhaps why the Sandover legacy is so impressive, dominating the industry with the scale and scope of its projects."

"Used to say he was the company, and his very blood pumped through the building." Sam Says

"Wow, okay. So slight workaholic. Maybe he's still here, you know, watching over the company, even killing for it." Elena Says

"Plus, turns out this isn't the first time people started killing themselves in the building. 1929." Sam Says

"Yeah, but lots of guys jumped off lots of high rises that year." Dean Says

"How many companies had seventeen suicides?" Elena Asks

"Phew. Okay, so P. T. Sandover, protector of the company. His ghost wakes up and becomes active during times of grave economic distress." Dean Says

"Well, I mean, the worst time we've seen since the Great Depression—" Sam Says

"Is now. Yeah, now sucks. My portfolio's in the sewer. I don't even wanna talk about it." Dean Says

"So Sandover's helping the bottom line" Sam Says

"By zapping some model employees." Dean Says

"Yeah. I mean, Ian and Paul. It was like he turned them into different people." Sam Says

"Perfect worker bees, exactly. So devoted to the company that they would commit hara-kiri if they failed it." Elena Says

"One more interesting fact. The building wasn't always that high. Used to be fourteen floors. And the room where the ghost attacked, fourteen forty-four? Once upon a time, that was the old man's office." Sam Says

Dean, Elena and Sam return to watching the Ghostfacers video.

"Once you've got that thing in your sights—" Harry Says

"You kill it."

"Using special ghost-hunting weapons." Harry Says

"First, salt. It's like acid to ghosts." Ed Says

"Burny acid." Harry Says

"Not LSD." Ed Says

"No. It's a bad trip for ghosts. Next up, iron." Harry Says

"That's why the wrench worked." Sam Says

"Pure power in your hand." Ed Says

"Dissipates ghosts instantly." Harry Says

"Next little trick. We learned this from those useless douchebags—" Ed Says

"That we hate." Harry Says

"The Winchesters." Ed Says

"Gun." Harry Says

"Shotgun shell. Pack it up with fresh rock salt." Ed Says

"Very effective." Harry Says

"Very effective." Ed Says

"Winchesters still suck ass, though." Harry Says

"Affirmative. Suckage major." Ed Says

Dean packs two pokers in a duffel bag that contains a salt shaker and unidentifiable items.

"Where do we even get a gun?" Dean Says

"Gun store?" Elena Says

"Isn't there like some kind of waiting period or something?" Dean Says

"I think so." Elena Says

"Well, how in the hell—" Dean Says

"I don't know. Seems pretty impossible, honestly." Sam Says

"Right." Dean Says

Back to the video

"The aforementioned super-annoying Winchester douchenozzles also taught us this one other thing. You have to burn the remains." Ed Says

"Okay, this next part gets a little gross. Sometimes you might have to dig up the body. Sorry." Harry Says

"It's illegal in some states." Ed Says

"All states." Harry Says

"Possibly all states." Ed Says

"Sandover was cremated." Sam Says

"What? So what do we do now?" Dean Says

"Now, if the deceased has been cremated" Harry Says

"Don't panic." Ed Says

"Don't panic." Harry Says

"Just gotta look for some other remains." Ed Says

"A hair in a locket, maybe. Fingernails. Baby teeth." Harry Says

"Milk teeth." Ed Says

"Genetic material. You know what we're talking about." Harry Says

"Go find it." Ed Says

"Fight well, young lions." Harry Says

"Godspeed." Ed Says

ELEVATOR

Sam & Dean enter the elevator.

"Set your cell phones to walkie-talkie in case we get separated." Dean Says

Dean has his phone out So does Sam gets his.

"How the hell are we gonna find some ancient speck of DNA in a skyscraper?" Elena Says

"Well, that creepy storeroom used to be Sandover's office, right?" Dean Says

Dean presses button 14.

STOREROOM

Elena, Dean & Sam look through the things stored in 1444. Dean goes behind some shelves while Sam and Elena rifles through the desk easily visible from the door.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" Guard Asks

Sam and Elena startles, While Dean ducks out of sight.

"Nothing. I just—" Sam Says

"Look If you guys wanna hook up theirs a hotel down the street" Guard Says

"Oh No that's not what this is" Elena Says

"Come with me." Guard Says

The Guard grabs Sam & Elena's arm and shuts the door behind them.

"Man, listen. Look. It's okay. I—I work here." Sam Says

"Whatever. Tell it to the cops." Guard Says

The Guard takes Sam and Elena down the corridor and into the elevator, which descends several floors. The current-weather screen inside the elevator goes to static, and both men's breath is briefly visible. The elevator screeches to a halt. The Guard uses his elevator key to open the inner doors, then pries open the outer doors, they're stuck between two floors.

"Well, come on." Guard Says

"What?" Sam Says

"Last time this happened, it took them two hours to get here." Guard Says

"Let's just wait." Elena Says

The Guard crawls out, nearly kicking Sam in the face.

STOREROOM

Dean continues to search through drawers. He finds a framed picture of a Sandover bridge.

ELEVATOR

The Guard is out of the elevator and turns back for Sam.

"Seriously, We'll wait." Sam Says

The Guard leans back into the elevator.

"Look, I don't have the rest of my life." Guard Says

The elevator jerks downward abruptly, decapitating the Guard. Sam & Elena's face and clothes are covered in blood spray. Elena Freaks out and Screams. Then Dean speaks on the phone

"Hey. You guys okay?" Dean Asks

Sam slowly reaches for the phone.

"Call you back." Sam Says
