MORGUE

The Morgue Attendant rolls out a body. "Matthew Havlena – found in a ditch off the interstate." He Says

"Cause of death?" Sam Asks

"Missing five pints of blood can't have helped. Puncture wounds – femoral arteries and carotid." She Says

"So, what? Some kind of animal attack?" Sam Asks

"Or a vampire." Sam looks at him without smiling.
"Huh. That... usually gets at least a chuckle." He Says

________________________________

Sam leaves the morgue, he answers the phone and it's Dean.

"Find Frank?" Sam Asks

"Yeah. Those numbers? Coordinates. Dick bought some land. We're headed there now." Dean Says

"Wait, wait, wait. You're just gonna drive right up to-" Sam Says

"Relax It's a field, not the Death Star. Dick's at a TED Conference. It's all over The Huffington Post." Dean Says

"Wait, wait, wait. Since when do you read?" Sam Says

"Know your enemy, Sam. What's going on with the girl?" Dean Asks

"I don't think she even knows her dad's in the life. So far, I got three missing truckers and one blood-free body." Sam Says

"Good times, all right, well, keep me posted." Dean Says

Frank opens the trailer door. "Got the equipment arranged. Come and get your costume on. We can scoot."

"Costume"? What?" Dean Says

FIELD

"What the hell's so special about this place?" Dean Asks

"I love a mystery. Now get up in that cherry picker and act like you're fixing something." Frank Says

Dean and Frank are wearing gray overall uniforms and hard hats.

"I don't know how to drive that thing." Dean Says

"You think I do?" Frank Says

"Well, why do I got to be the sap that –"

"This one says "manager." That one says "technician." Sometime this month?" Frank Says

Dean climbs up into the cherry picker. "Come on. Yah! Whoo!" He clips a carabiner from his safety harness onto the cherry picker and puts the cherry picker in motion. "Okay... aaah! Up. Moving. Aah."

Frank is looking through binoculars and sees several surveillance cameras.

"Oh, crap. Come on down, Tarzan!" Frank Says

"What?" Dean Says

"Get down here, we need to move they got this place wired up the wazoo." Frank Says

"They're watching us right now?" Dean Asks

"Nah, nah, they're just watching Cheech and Ed from Ma Bell." Frank Says

"You know, it's gonna be a little difficult to set up surveillance if there's, uh, surveillance everywhere." Dean Says

"Right. So we need to tap into theirs instead." Frank Says

FRANK'S TRAILER

Frank taps some keys and the computer screen shows the field.

"All right, now what?" Dean Asks

"You look horrific. When was the last time you really slept a night." Frank Says

"Let's just work, all right?" Dean Says

"This is it. We watch the screens. I can take the first shift. You're no use if you can't even..." Dean falls asleep. "Keep your eyes open." Frank Says

Dean's phone vibrates in his pocket, but he doesn't wake.

MOTEL ROOM

Sam is looking at John's journal while talking on the phone.

"Dean, hey. So I think this guy was hunting a Vetala. Um, Dad took one down back in the day. Silver knife to the heart, twist, they're done. He says they're maladjusted loner types – like to knock a guy out, drag him home, feed slow. So, if Krissy's dad got grabbed, there's a chance he might still be alive. Be nice to get this girl's dad back home to her, you know? All right, I could use your help. Call me." Sam Says

__________________________________

DINER

"Excuse me. Your manager said that you might be able to help me." Sam Says

"Sure. What can I do for you?" Marlene Says

Sam holds up a picture of Krissy's Father. "You ever see this man?"

"I...might have served him the other day. I think he may have gone to talk to that girl out there." Marlene Says

She indicates the suggestively-dressed Woman who Krissy's Dad followed.

"Thanks." He leaves the diner, He approaches the woman outside. "Hey! Can I talk to you for a second, uh..." he reads the name on the necklace that She is wearing. "Sally? You ever see this man?" Sam holds up the picture.

"No." Sally Says

"You sure?" Sam Says

"It's not safe here, Somewhere private." Sally Says

Sally walks between parked trucks and Sam follows.

"Something's happening around here. I'm afraid I'll be next." Sally Says

"Tell me what you saw." Sam Says

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

Sam draws his knife as he hears someone approaching behind him. It is Marlene, She grabs Sam by the wrist and throat and shoves him against a truck and he drops his knife.

"Sally, run!" Sam Says

Sally's pupils have become almost vertical and her teeth have become pointed. She kicks Sam's legs and he drops to his knees. Marlene holds Sam's head as Sally bites his neck. Marlene's pupils and teeth have also transformed. As Marlene and Sally drop Sam and step back, He falls unconscious on the ground.

FRANK'S HOUSE

Dean wakes in his chair, Frank is monitoring the field on four computer screens.

"How long was I out?" Dean Asks

'Bout 36 hours." Frank Says

"What? Why didn't you wake me?" Dean Says

"Not your butler, come see this." Frank Says

"What?" Dean Says

"This is where it gets good." He zooms in on a parked car in which two people are kissing.

"Frank, you need to get out more." Dean Says

"Not that." Frank Says

The screen shows a woman walking across the field. Frank zooms in on her. She is carrying documents and a walkie-talkie.

"Check out Sarah Palin." Frank Says

"Who is she?" Dean Asks

"Amanda Willer."

He hits a key. Amanda's California driver's license, Richard Roman Enterprises security pass and a close-up photo appear on the screen.

"Surprise, surprise – works for Richard Roman." Frank Says

He hits another key. The screen shows three men in uniforms walking towards Amanda.

"What was she doing?" Dean Asks

"Being a naughty, bossy little girl." Frank Says

"Well, I hate to ask for that in the non-porno version." Dean Says

"They're surveying, they're getting ready to build something." Frank Says

"Build what?" Dean Asks

"Exactly. What? No idea." Frank Says

"Well, how do we find out?" Dean Asks

On the screen the men are taking up positions on the field.

"We watch. Patience, grasshopper." Frank Says

"Yeah, patience and me aren't exactly on terms." Dean Says

"Well, then go out and kill something or whatever you kids do to blow off steam. What, you don't like my suggestion?" Frank Says

"I don't think you're in a position to be giving suggestions, all right? I think you're one tinfoil hat away from a rubber room." Dean Says

"Did I mention you look awful?" Frank Says

"Yes. Maybe because somebody I cared about just got shot in the head, or that my girlfriend tried to kill herself and she won't talk to me..and this is like shoving a rock up a hill and – screw you." Dean Says

"Here's my advice you didn't ask for – quit." Frank Says

"What?!" Dean Says

"You want to keep going?" Frank Asks

"I want Dick Roman on a spit." Dean Says

"But you're gonna drive yourself into the ground first. Good plan." Frank Says

"I'm not gonna quit. It's not even an option. I'm not gonna walk out on my brother and Elena." Dean Says

"Okay, then, fine. Do what I did." Frank Says

"What? Go native? Stock up on C-rations?" Dean Says

"No, cupcake. What I did when I was 26 and came home to find my wife and two kids gutted on the floor. Decide to be fine till the end of the week. Make yourself smile because you're alive and that's your job. Then do it again the next week." Frank Says

"So fake it?" Dean says

"I call it being professional.Do it right, with a smile, or don't do it." Frank Says

Dean's phone buzzes, He listens to the message Sam left him.

"Dean, hey. So I think this guy was hunting a Vetala. Um, Dad took one down back in the day."

"No, no, no. Sam, that's not right." Dean Says

"What's the guff?" Frank Asks

"He –" he presses a button on his phone to take a call. "Sam." Dean Says

"No. Who's this?" Krissy Asks

"Who's this?" Dean Asks

"Sam told me to call if I didn't hear anything back from him." Krissy Says As Dean looks very worried.

_______________________________

ABANDONED BUILDING

Sam wakes, tied to a chair. Two dead men are in the room. Krissy's Father is tied to a chair near Sam.

"That ringing in your ears – it's from the venom." He Says

"Venom?" Sam Says

"Yeah. They hit you with some kind of knockout juice. You seem to be handling this pretty well." He Says

"Yeah. Well, um... I was out there looking for you. Lee Chambers?" He nods. "I'm a friend of Bobby Singer's. Krissy called. She – she's fine. She is. She's just worried about you. So how do we get out of here?" Sam Says

"I don't know. They'll be back pretty quick here." Lee Says

"Just the two of them?" Sam Asks

"Yeah, they're a tag team. One of them knocks you out. The other one dumps your rig or your ride or whatever miles down the road. It's a pretty nice system they got." Lee Says

"They've been draining you." Sam Says

"Yeah. They tap you three, four times, you're dead. And let me tell you... you can't see... you can't walk. I thought they'd kill me right off, but they don't have to. They got nothing to worry about." Lee Says

"How many times they fed on you?" Sam Asks

"Three." Sam Says

CHAMBERS' APARTMENT

"Did Sam tell you where he was going?" Krissy Asks

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. What did you tell him?" Dean Says

"Uh...He checked my dad's room." Krissy Says

"There?" Dean Says

"Yeah." Krissy Says

BEDROOM

Dean looks around Lee's room and turns to Krissy, who is standing in the doorway.

"Look, I really don't have time to hold your hand here, so –" Dean Says

"What are you saying?" Krissy Says

"I'm saying go wait in the living room. Your dad may not want you to know every single thing about him." Dean Says

Krissy leans on the doorway and puts a hand on her hip. Dean opens Lee's closet and looks behind the hanging clothes. Only the corner of a map is still pinned to the board, He pulls it down.

"Where is it?" Dean Asks

"You mean everything about the job my dad was working?" Krissy Says

"Sam said you didn't know." Dean Says

"Sam seemed competent, so I figured, fine – I'll do what my dad always tells me to. "Be a regular kid, don't say anything, stay out of the line of fire. Let the adults work it out." So much for that." Krissy Says

"All right. Hand it over. Okay? I have had a long, long week."Krissy pulls out a gun and points it at him."All right, I get it. You're a tough kid. But I'm trying to get Sam and your dad back." Dean Says

"My dad left, and he didn't come back. Sam left, and he didn't come back. I give you the info, you leave, you don't come back." Dean Says

"I'm coming back." Dean Says

"I'm coming with you." Krissy Says

"N-no. No. Hell, no." Dean Says

"I'm coming! Or you're not going." Krissy Says

Dean snatches the gun out of Krissy's hand.

"Ow!"

"Now hand it over." Dean Says

"I can't. I burned it." Krissy Says

"You what?" Dean Says

"But lucky for you, I memorized it all first." Krissy Says

ROAD

Dean and Krissy are driving in the car.

"Hey, I have a question." Krissy Says

"All right, here's the deal. I'm a fun guy. I'm actually awesome. Okay? But right now, I'm not in the mood. I'm neck deep in some serious crap, and if this wasn't an emergency, I would drop your ass off at the nearest mall." Dean Says

"What serious crap?" Krissy Asks

"Revenge crap, all right? Now shut up. Eat a cookie or something." Dean Says

Krissy puts headphones in her ears, then takes them out again. "One thing doesn't make sense, though. My dad's a pretty great hunter, and your brother's the size of a car, so... So how'd this thing get 'em both?"

"Vetalas usually hunt in pairs. Sam and your dad both assumed it was one thing hunting solo." Dean Says

"Why'd they think that?" Krissy Asks

"Because they had the wrong info. Or, best available. Our dad took down a loner years ago. Sam has his journal. Your dad must've been going on the same facts." Dean Says

"And you know different 'cause...?" Krissy Says

"Because I hunted one that turned out to be two a couple years back." Dean Says

"And you never told Sam? Wow, thanks. How 'bout sharing that with the rest of the class so we don't all get killed." Krissy Says

"Sam was away at Stanford, smartass." Dean Says

"Sam went to college? I thought you said your dad was a hunter." Krissy Says

"He was, we were. Sam quit, went to college."There is a pause as Krissy processes this information. "You could, too, you know – go to college. Be a hunter/pediatrician." Dean Says

ABANDONED BUILDING

Sally enters and walks over to Sam and Lee, who are still tied to chairs.

"Hunter day at the all-you-can-eat. How's everyone feeling? Good?" They don't respond. "Strong silent. Fine. I don't need much entertainment with my meal." Sally Says

Sally walks over to Lee and leans down to feed on his neck.

"Hey, Sally, uh, did I tell you about the Vetalas I took down in Utah? Yeah. You remind me of them. Except they were so much...younger." Sally walks over to him. "I tied 'em up. Not because I had to. More so... I could take my time." Sam Says

"You're lying." Sally Says

"No. I just want you to know how much I enjoyed cutting up your sisters." Sam Says

"Shut up!" Sally Says

Sally grabs Sam's hair and bites into his neck.

"Aah!" Sam Says As his eyes roll back in his head and his eyes close.

________________________________

DINER

Dean and Krissy are in the car, which is parked outside the diner.

"You ever actually work with your dad?" Dean Asks

"Sure. 'Course." Krissy Says

"No, I mean work, not shoot cans in the woods." Dean Says

"I mean, I help all the time." Krissy Says

"So, no. Well, right about now, your stomach should be pretty knotted up." Dean Says

"Not really. Look, maybe this was a lot harder for you when you were my age." Krissy Says

"Oh, you think you're a good actress. you're not." Dean Says

"What are you talking about?" Krissy Says

lWell, I hate to break it to you, but it's all over your face – you're scared." Dean Says

"Quit treating me like I'm some girl. I've been prepping for this my entire life." Krissy Says

"Training's one thing. Doing – whole 'nother beast." Dean Says

"Wow. You really scared me straight. Thanks, Dean." Marlene walks across the parking lot and gets into the cab of a truck. "Why is that waitress getting into that truck?" Krissy Says

"I'm not explaining the R-rated crap to you." Dean Says

"The front of the truck, not the back, Dean." Krissy Says As Marlene drives the truck away.

ROAD

Dean and Krissy have followed the truck, which is now parked by the side of a road near a building.

"All right." Dean holds out his fist to Krissy.

"What century is this? No one fist-bumps anymore." Krissy Says

"Come on. Give it up. Good work." Dean Says As he wiggles his fist.

"You're a dweeb." Krissy Says

Dean wiggles his fist again. Krissy finally puts out her hand, He grabs it and puts handcuffs on her.

"What the hell?" Krissy Says

"I got an idea." He attaches the handcuffs to the steering wheel. "How 'bout you stay here?" Dean Says

"Oh, you jackass." Krissy Says

"Yeah, well, I'm the jackass who ain't bringing a kid in there, period." Dean Says

"Why? I can do everything you can do." Krissy Says

"I'll bring them back, trust me." Dean Says

"Please, they're probably dead." Krissy Says

"You don't know that." Dean Says

"It's been days. Probably just a pile of meat. I've seen it. People die, Dean. I watched my mom get torn to shreds. Let me go in there and kill them." Krissy Says

"No. Sorry." Dean Says

"You're such a hypocrite, how come you get to do it and I don't?" Krissy Says

"Because I'm the grown-up!" He holds out a hand.
"Give it to me." Dean Says

"What?" Krissy Says

"Your lock pick. I will frisk you." Krissy hands over her lock pick to him. "Thank you." Dean Says Then gets out of the car and walks away.

ABANDONED BUILDING

Dean picks the lock and enters. He sees one of the dead men, then sees Sam, Lee and a third man tied to chairs. Sally is standing next to the third man and Marlene next to Lee, Sam is still unconscious.

"Good thing we picked up a new one. This one's about tapped out. You want to finish him together?" Marlene Says

"Sure. Love to." Sally Says

Dean grabs a metal bar and hits Sally, who falls to the ground. He draws his knife as Marlene advances on him.

"Not so fast." Marlene Says

Dean swings at Marlene, but she hits him and he drops his knife. She slams him against a metal cage and grabs him by the throat. Sam slowly wakes. Dean grabs another metal bar and hits Marlene. She falls to the ground, He picks up his knife.

"Dad, hold on – I got you!" Krissy Says

Krissy runs across the room, but Sally grabs her leg.

"No!" Lee Says

Sally gets up, pulls Krissy behind Lee and Sam and holds Krissy from behind. Dean is holding his knife to Marlene's throat.

"Let her go... or Little Miss Sunshine here gets it." Sally Says

Sally's eyes and teeth transform. Dean takes his knife away from Marlene's throat. She hurries over to stand behind Lee. Sally's eyes and teeth return to normal.

"What were you thinking, bringing her here?" Lee Asks As Dean walks towards Sally and Krissy.

"Now drop the knife!" Sally Says

Dean puts the knife on the floor. "She's just a child. Let her go."

"Yeah, I don't think we'll be letting anyone go." Sally Says

"Daddy..." Krissy Says

"It's okay, baby. Everything's gonna be fine." Lee Says

"All right. Enough with the family bonding. It's time for you to shut up." Marlene Says Then bites into Lee 's neck.

"Daddy, no! Dean!" Krissy Says

"He can't help you. No one can." Sally Says

Krissy pulls a knife out of her sleeve, spins around and stabs Sally.

"I guess I'll have to help myself, then." Krissy Says

She twists the knife. Sally's body turns grey and her teeth transform. She falls to the floor dead. Marlene advances on Dean, who picks up his knife. Krissy cuts the ropes binding Sam. He takes Krissy's knife and stabs Marlene as she turns from DEAN to him. He twists the knife. Marlene's teeth transform and her body turns black as she dies. Krissy works on the ropes binding Lee, who is unconscious.

"Bad actress, huh?" Krissy Says

"Yeah, I take it back." Dean Says

HOSPITAL

Sam and Dean are walking down a hallway. They enter a room that Krissy is sitting outside. Lee is in a hospital bed in the room.

"Yeah, I was hoping you'd stop by. I wanted to thank you." Lee Says

"It's no problem." Sam Says

"No, you saved my life. Krissy's, too." Lee Says

"Actually, uh, she kind of saved ours." Sam Says

"Don't thank us. Quit. Your daughter's 14 years old. She's already a hunter with a-a kill under her belt. I'm not trying to be a dick, but what do you think that does to her life span? She could still be a regular kid." Dean Says

"You know, I got into this for a reason." Lee Says

"I know. Your family. That's the same reason you should get out now." Dean Says

"I can't. You ever know anyone who left the life?" Lee Asks

"No. They all get killed first." Dean Says

"Well, uh... we should probably let you get some rest." Sam Says

"Yeah." Lee raises a hand in farewell.

Sam and Dean exit the hospital, followed by Krissy.

"Dean! Thanks for saying bye, asshat." Krissy Says

Sam walks over to the car, leaving Dean and Krissy to talk.

"Oh, what? Now you're sentimental?" Dean Says

"No. Just wanted to tell you that you're kind of amusing for an old man." Krissy Says

"How'd you get out of them cuffs, anyway?" Dean Asks

"Girl's got to have her secrets." Krissy Says

"Bobby pin. You know, you could've gotten yourself killed." Dean Says

"I saved your bacon." Krissy Says

"My point stands. But yes." Dean Says

"So... Guess I'm retiring – one and done." Krissy Says

"Really? How you feel about that?" Dean Asks

"Who knows? Maybe I'll go to Stanford like Sam." She holds out her fist to Dean, who bumps it.
"We're so lame." Krissy Says

"Yeah, we are. Take care of yourself." Dean Says

Dean walks over to the car, where Sam is waiting by the passenger side. Krissy goes back into the hospital.

ROAD

Dean and Sam are driving in the car.

"You know what? Good for them." Sam Says

"Yeah. It's nice to walk away from someone and feel like they could be okay. How about you? How you doing? You all right?" Dean Says

"No. I'm definitely not. But, you know, I mean, um, I think, maybe... I just want to work." Dean nods.
"Should I even ask?" Sam Says

"I'm fine." Dean Says

"Fine," meaning...?" Sam Says

"You're right. We should just... work, right? And figure out a way to kick Dick Roman's ass. Well, hey, we are the professionals." Dean Says

Sam turns on music and leans against the passenger door to sleep. Dean smiles sadly as he drives.
