VAN

Bobby is still unconscious on the floor, Dean is driving while Sam is in the passenger seat.

"Dad? Dad? Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on." Elena Says

"Elena, is he dead?" Sam Asks

"I'm checking." Elena Says

Elena starts to feel Bobby's neck for a pulse, she begins crying a little.

"Is he dead?!" Dean Says

"Just drive, Dean!" Elena Says

"Bobby!" Sam Says

"Elena You gotta talk to me." Dean Says

"All right, he's breathing. There's a pulse." Elena Says

Sam enters numbers on his cell phone. "Keep him upright. Stop the bleeding." Dean Says

"I'm not an idiot, Dean! I know first aid for a friggin' bullet to the head!" Elena Says

"I need the nearest trauma center." Sam Says

"Hold on. Hold on." Elena Says

"What's the address?!" Sam Says

"All right, Bobby, hang in there." Dean Says As The vehicle skids as he speeds down a road.

_________________________________

There's external, moving to internal, shot of the bullet hole in Bobby's temple.

"Bobby! Just hold on!" Sam Says

FOREST

Bobby, Elena, Dean and Sam are walking through the forest in a repeat. They look up at a bloodied arm hanging from a tree.

"Well, I guess we found Phil." Dean Says

"Wait a minute. Something's not right here." Bobby Says

"Yeah, no kidding, Dad. There's a corpse in a tree." Elena Says

"Something bad's about to happen." Bobby Says

"Yeah, well danger's kinda on the W2 – that's why we got the guns." Dean Says

Blood drips onto Bobby's hand. There is now a bloodstain on his cap. He puts his fingers to his head and sees more blood on his fingertips when he lowers his hand.

"Or something bad's happened already." Bobby Says

OLD HOUSE

Bobby, Dean, Elena and Sam enter. He removes his cap and touches his head. There is a small amount of blood on his forehead.

"Balls." Bobby Says

"Y-you want to tell us what's going on." Sam Says

"Yeah, what's going on with your head?" Dean Asks

"I got shot in it!" Bobby Says

"You what?" Dean Says

"Bobby, we've been with you all day." Sam Says

"Yeah, I think we would have noticed if you took a bullet." Elena Says

"I didn't take one here. I-I took one out there, i-i-in the real world." Bobby Says

"You lost us." Dean Says

"Look, Dad you – you want to sit down, seriously?" Elena Says

"No, there's something I gotta tell you. I-I... Dammit, I can't get at it." Bobby Says

"Well, it – it's okay, take your time. We're – we're right here." Sam Says

"No, no, not you, you. Real you. Out – out there, in the waking world. Numbers. Numbers. Where's paper." He walks over to the table, on which there is a pen and notebook, and writes. "I didn't have time before to tell you what..." he writes "454895" in the notebook. "They're cookin' up. You need to know." Bobby Says

He puts the piece of paper from the notebook in his jacket pocket.

"Well..."
BEDROOM

Karen is sitting on the bed in a nightgown. There are candles on the bedside tables. Bobby is standing in the doorway holding a glass of red wine.

"... you just gonna stand there or hand it over, Bobby." Karen Says

"What the hell? Karen?" Bobby Says

"You were expecting Farrah Fawcett?" Karen Says

"No. She always calls first.That's what I said the first time this happened." Bobby Says

"What are you talking about? Gimme!" Karen Says

She holds out her hand. Bobby looks down and notices the glass of wine.

"Oh." He gives Karen the glass of wine. "This – this is just like it was. You're beautiful." Bobby Says

"Quit sweet-talkin' and come here." She takes Bobby's hand. "I feel like we haven't talked in ages." Karen Says

"I know just how you feel." Bobby Says

"Listen, I have something I want to say to you. No excuses this time, okay? Just sit, Bobby." Karen Says

Bobby sits down on the bed. "I know what night this is. I remember this."

"I've thought about this a lot. I really sat with this..." Karen & Bobby Says

She hits Bobby lightly. "Don't make fun of me." Karen Says

"I wouldn't. But right now I gotta..." There is the sound of thunder. "I don't remember a storm coming in the night this happened." Bobby Says

He goes to the window and sees a full moon and a sky full of stars. The stars all disappear and the reflection of the moon in the window fades. Bobby sees a Young Boy running from behind a shed towards the house.

"Mother Mary. I've got a messed-up fruitcake." Bobby Says

"What, Bobby?" Karen Says

"Nuthin'. I gotta go. I'm sorry, darling." Bobby Says

"Bobby, wait! Don't go." Karen Says

STREET

Bobby looks around at lightening and hears thunder. He is behind Rufus, who is standing outside a building wearing a pest control uniform. Bobby is wearing the same uniform.

"Number-one trick, is act like you know what you're doing, Bobby." Rufus Says

"Rufus?" Bobby Says

"What, I can't give you advice now? All of a sudden you know everything? You know, I can always go wait in the car." Rufus Says

"No, wait. I – I need your help. Bad." Bobby Says

"Yeah, damn straight you do." Rufus Says

"No, listen to me, Rufus. I'm gonna die!" Bobby Says

"Oh, now that's a realistic view of the mortality rate on a ghost hunt." He is holding an EMF reader, which lights up and makes noises. "Whoa, whoa, Nellie, red line. All right, baby boy,
here we go." Rufus Says

"No, Rufus!" Bobby Says

Rufus enters the building. Bobby looks around. It is now raining. The camera pans out and we see that the building is a church. The Young Boy from earlier runs down the street. Rufus opens the door of the church again.

"Are you coming, Bobby? I mean, we're not getting any younger here!" Rufus Says

"Coming." Bobby Says

He looks down to see the Young Boy in front of him. The Boy clasps Bobby's arm.

"God's gonna punish you." He Says

Bobby hears the sound of breaking glass and looks behind him to see a broken glass of milk on a tiled floor. When he turns back, the Young Boy is gone. Bobby enters the church.

CHURCH

Six people in red robes are standing at the front of the church. Rufus walks towards a door at the side. The six people form a line and hold hymn books as if they are about to sing. There is thunder, the ground shakes and Bibles fall out of the pews. As Bobby watches, the members of the choir disappear. The lights go off. A man holding an old-fashioned watch on a chain walks up behind Bobby.

"Hello, Mr. Singer." Bobby turns and sees that the man is dressed in a dark suit. There is a flash of lightening. The man swings the watch on its chain and catches it in his hand. "Your time's up."

"So you're my reaper, huh? You know, I've heard of you guy grabbing reapees in broad daylight and in their sleep, but I never heard of a reaper showing up inside a guy's custard." Bobby Says

"You're in a coma, genius. This is what happens. I climb in your "custard" and fish you out." He takes a step towards Bobby and holds out his hand. Bobby takes a step back. "Oh, you think you can lose me." Reaper Says

"Gonna try." Bobby Says

"I've got places to be, Singer, don't waste my time." Reaper Says

"Might as well – while I got it." Bobby Says

"You're prolonging the inevitable." Reaper Says

The Reaper flips open his watch, which is ticking. He flips it closed again and the ticking sound stops. BOBBY runs for the door Rufus went through.

"I can find you anywhere! Even in this gin-soaked rat maze." Reaper Says

Bobby walks around a corner. He is dressed in his usual clothes. Someone tosses two DVDs onto a coffee table: "Chuck Norris American Hero Collection" and "The Delta Force".

BOBBY HOUSE

"I'm just saying – look, you can't really compare." Sam Says

Sam and Dean are sitting on a couch, Elena is sitting in a chair reading trying to ignore the brothers.

"I don't even know you right now. There's not even a contest." Dean Says

"It depends on the criteria." Sam Says

"Survival is the only criteria, all right? And when the crap hits the fan, it's not about who has skill. It's about who's the bigger badass..Elena—" Dean Says

"Don't Really Care keep me out of this." Elena Says

"Fine..Bobby, will you please tell Sam that Chuck Norris could kick Jet Li's ass?" Dean Says

Bobby looks around the room and then walks towards the kitchen.

"You grab me a beer while you're in there." Dean Says

Bobby opens the sliding doors to the kitchen.

"Bobby?" A woman is setting plates on the table.
"Bobby Singer, you had better be washed up when you come down."

The Woman, Bobby's Mother, looks at Bobby. Behind Bobby, Dean is standing near the TV, opening the DVD case.

"You're filthy. God, what is wrong with you? It's like you want him to get mad." Mrs.Singer Says Then Bobby slides the kitchen doors shut.

CHURCH

Rufus tosses Bobby a shotgun. "Bobby, heads-up! Whew! Poor thing. Gets left at the altar, kills herself, and then gets buried in the crypt. Now she's going after men who break their girls' hearts. Poignant, am I wrong?" He hands Bobby a flashlight. "Why you out of breath? Did you go for a jog up there, man?" Rufus Says

"I need your help, Rufus." Bobby Says

"Yeah, clearly." Rufus Says

"No, listen to me." Bobby Says

"I want you to grab a torch, man as soon as I open up her coffin, showtime's coming pretty quick." Rufus Says

"No. Will you listen to me, you son of a bitch? There's a damn reaper coming for me." Bobby Says

"There's a damn reaper coming for all of us, Bobby."
He looks at names on the crypt and stops at Lara Coggins, 1925 - 1954. "All right, let's put this damn ghost to bed. I got plans for Purim." Rufus hits the crypt with a sledgehammer.

HOSPITAL

Bobby is being wheeled on a hospital bed.

"Page the neurosurgeon on call. Tell OR to put electives on hold." Doctor Says

Sam, Elena and Dean are following behind Bobby's bed.

"Move trauma 2 to bed 7 as soon as it's clean." Doctor Says

HOSPITAL TRAUMA ROOM

"Let's get a central line in here now." Doctor Says

"What's happening? Please just tell us—" Sam Says

"Get them out of here." Doctor Says

"Sorry. You need to stay out of their way." Nurse Says As Another nurse is cutting open Bobby's shirt.

"That's My Father." Elena Says

"You got to stay back." Nurse Says

"What are they doing?" Dean Asks

"We need to get him stable." Nurse Says

"Okay, when are you gonna take the bullet out?" Elena Asks

"If we can get the swelling down, if it's in a place we can get to, if –" Nurse Says

"If he even lives that long." Sam Says

The Nurse pulls a curtain shut across the door to the trauma room.

CHURCH

Rufus finally opens a coffin. "Forget it. I got to keep moving."

Bobby turns to leave, but a Ghost appears in front of him. She is bleeding from a wound across her throat.

"Heartbreaker." She Says

The Ghost snatches Bobby's shotgun and puts her arm into his chest as he grimaces in pain.

HOSPITAL

Sam, Elena and Dean are standing outside Bobby's trauma room.

"Push 30 more of Mannitol over 10. CBC and 'lytes. Bolus him with 500 saline." Doctor Says

"The vitals were stable two minutes ago." Nurse Says

"Well, he's crashing now." Doctor Says

CHURCH

The Ghosts arm is still inside Bobby's chest.

"I'll break your heart." She Says

Rufus slashes through the Ghost with iron and she disappears. Bobby falls to the ground.

"Bobby... Come on. You okay? Say something." Rufus Says

Bobby raises his head. "Look out!"

The Ghost has reappeared behind Rufus. She grabs him and throws him to the ground. Blood pools out from underneath his head. Bobby torches the Ghosts bones. She screams as she burns up and vanishes.

HOSPITAL TRAUMA ROOM

"Blood pressure 130 over 90." Nurse Says

Bobby appears to have been stabilized. His head is bandaged, he is now wearing a hospital gown and there is a tube in his mouth.

CHURCH

Rufus is still lying where he fell, Bobby blows out the blow torch

"Okay, Rufus, I need you – Oh, balls. This would be the one job you damn near got yourself killed on. Well, you're gonna be useful, even if I have to carry you." Bobby Says

HOSPITAL

The Doctor opens the curtain and walks over to Elena. Sam and Dean is leaning on the wall nearby.

"He's, uh, stable for the moment Just have to see." Doctor Says

"Thanks Doc." Elena Says

Elena looks at Bobby in the trauma room, She runs her fingers through her hair then turns slowly and looks at Sam and Dean. They all appear very distressed. Bobby Lyes unconscious in the hospital bed.

OUTSIDE HOSPITAL

"Rufus..Where the hell did you go?" He sees the Young Boy standing nearby. "Yeah, you! You, kid! Hey, what are you making like a white rabbit all over the place for, you grubby little – enough with the jump scares, kid. Who are you running from?" The Young Boy says nothing. "Wait a minute. I know you." Bobby Says

"Did you think I was dead?" Rufus Says

Bobby turns and sees Rufus being wheeled out of a hospital by a nurse. He laughs and hands the nurse a piece of paper.

"Call me, all right." He gets out of the wheelchair.
"Don't sit Shiva for me yet, Bobby." Rufus Says

Bobby looks behind him, but the Young Boy is gone.

"Listen – after Bridezilla took you out, do you remember what you told me about your near-death experience?" Bobby Asks

"I haven't told you nuthin' yet. But now that you mention it, pretty sure I almost crossed over." Rufus Says

"And what did you see?" Bobby Asks

"What did I see? What are you so riled up about, paco? All right, all right. I saw a hallway, uh, plaid carpet, uh, the apartment building from when I was a kid." Rufus Says

"And?" Bobby Says

"And I wanted out. I'm not dying on no damn plaid carpet. No, thank you." Rufus Says

"So, what did you do?" Bobby Asks

"Well, obviously, Bobby, not being stupid, I started looking for the damn exit door. Y-you know, I swear that's what they mean about your life flashing before your eyes, 'cause every time I opened the door, there was another chapter inside – the good, the bad, the bloody." Rufus Says

"So, how did you get out?" Bobby Asks

"Found the right door, obviously." Rufus Says

"Well, how did you find it?" Bobby Says

"Oh, simple – I went deep." Rufus Says

"Deep. Like old." Bobby Says

"No, deep like... Crap you do not want to think about, so you bury it, you shove other crap over it, and you don't go there, ever." Rufus Says

"So, you're telling me that the way out was through your worst memory?" Bobby Says

"It's an important door, Bobby." Rufus Says

"Okay, this is good." Bobby Says

"What the hell are you going on about, anyway?" Rufus Says

Bobby takes the piece of paper out of his jacket pocket. "This. I got to find the right door to get this to Elena, Sam and Dean. I'm in a coma, Rufus, right now."

"Get out." Rufus Says

"I got shot in the dunce cap, Rufus. I'm – I'm dying." Bobby Says

"You sure?" Rufus Asks

"Unfortunately." Bobby Says

"I'll be a prima ballerina. Wait, wait, Bobby. Are you trying to tell me I'm just one of your better memories..I'm surprised it's not Eleanor." Rufus Says

"Would I make this up." There is thunder and the ground shakes. "Okay. I got to go." Bobby Says

"What?" Rufus Says

"You're coming with me, Rufus." Bobby Says

"What?" Rufus Says

"I need my partner on this. Please." Bobby Says

The thunder and shaking stop. Bobby and Rufus walk along outside the hospital, past signs saying Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

"Aim for your worst memory. Think. Focus. You got it? The worst, okay." Rufus Says

"I got a metric ton of worst." Bobby Says

"Just take a shot. By the way, killer bride – how come she call you a heartbreaker, anyway? I mean, you a family man if I ever saw one." Rufus Says

"Thanks for narrowing things down." Bobby Says

BOBBY'S HOUSE

Bobby and Rufus enter the bedroom. There is a broken glass of red wine on the floor. Karen is standing barefoot next to it, dressed in a blue robe.

"I can't believe you. I hate you. Everything's a lie. Our whole life, our vows... everything. You knew I wanted kids. Why didn't you just sit me down and say... I don't understand. You're a good man. You'd be a good dad. What does that even mean, you break everything you touch?! What kind of excuse is that?!" Karen steps on the broken glass. "Aah!"

Karen sits down on the bed. Her foot is bleeding.

"Just stay away from me! You broke my heart, Bobby! You happy? Just go away!" Karen Says Then starts to cry.

"Just so you know... I'm sorry. I never stopped being sorry." Bobby Says

"Bobby, I thought you always wanted a gang of rugrats." Rufus Says

"At first I didn't." Bobby Says

"So, how long after this..." Rufus Says

"...did she get possessed? Three days. Biggest regret of my life, this fight. You'd think it was when I had to stab her to death, but... no. All through that... I was thinking we never got to get past this. If I'd have known, I'd have said anything she wanted to hear." Bobby Says

Karen is still crying on the bed.

"Bobby? Hey. Try the door. Now." Rufus Says

"Thanks, Rufus." Bobby Says He opens the door and steps out into the light.
