NIKOLAI LISHIN'S HOUSE

Dean, Elena and Sam look at the bloodstained coffee table and scattered silverware.

"He probably should have bent those with the power of his mind." Dean Says

Sam walks away not acknowledging the joke, Elena looks at him and shakes her head.

"To Soon Dean." Elena Says

"Chief. We met at the station." Sam Says

"Right. Morning, Agent." Chief Says

"Morning. Uh, this is Agent Borne and Rogers, So, what happened?" Sam Asks

"It's a weird one. Chest full of cutlery." Chief Says

"All right. We're gonna take a look around. Let us know if you get any leads." Dean Says

"Oh, I got leads coming out of my ass. As of 9 o'clock, our tip line had 46 calls, all from clairvoyants that know what really happened." Chief Says

"What's the popular theory?" Elena Asks

"It's a toss-up between a ghost and some sort of ogre that only attacks Russians." Chief Says

"Policing Lily Dale sounds fun." Dean Says

"It was either this or Los Angeles." Chief Says

"So, these clairvoyants, did they give any details as to why they thought it was a ghost? Or a... Russian ogre?" Sam Asks

"Their spirit monkey said so. Plus, apparently, this guy claims he had a vision of his own death, cutlery and all." Chief Says

Sam and Elena exchange looks, Dean's phone rings.

"Excuse me, Hello?" Dean Says

"Agent Borne? It's Melanie Golden." She Says

"Everything okay?" Dean Asks

"Did you mean it when you said you had an open mind?" Melanie Says

MELANIE GOLDY'S HOUSE

Melanie is sitting holding a landline phone, Sam, Elena and Dean sit across from her.

"I hadn't checked it until today. I mean, the only person who ever called my landline was my grandma."' Melanie Says

"That's okay. Go on." Sam Says

"Look, I wouldn't put any stock in it. I mean, she was always calling me with some crazy dream she was sure was a sign, that kind of thing, but...uh, is it true Nikolai had a real vision of his death?" Melanie Says

"That's what we were told." Dean Says

"Well, so did she – the day she died." Melanie Says

"What'd she say?" Dean Asks

"Well, you can listen to it if you want. She said she was in a séance, then the lights go, it's freezing." Melanie Says

"Wait, she said that? That the room got cold?" Elena Asks

"Yeah. Why? Is that important?" Elena, Sam and Dean looks at each other. "What? What is it?" Melanie Says

"A ghost. The real deal." Dean Says

"Come on. You're serious." Melanie Says

"Yeah. See, there's, uh, fake whoo-whoo crap, and there's real whoo-whoo crap." Dean Says

"Well, yeah, but... ghosts?" Melanie Says

"Oh, trust me. There's a lot weirder out there than that." Elena Says

"So "The X-files" is real, or you just stopped talking like an FBI agent." Melanie Says

"Well, um... we're not FBI agents." Sam Says

"I need a drink." Melanie Says

"I support that." Dean Says

They exit Melanie's house. "You know, if this is a spirit, it ain't your average spook tied to a house. I mean, this thing is boogieing all over town." Dean Says

"Not surprised." The camera pans to two "psychic" signs outside nearby houses. "I mean, how many crystal balls do you figure there are in Lily Dale?" Sam Says

"Somewhere between 50 and, uh, all of them." Elena Says

Dean, Elena and Sam walk to the Dodge.

"Well, I mean, quartz can act as an antenna for spirits, right? I mean, that's why mediums started using crystal balls in the first place." Sam Says

"Well, that means that every storefront in town has got a ghost satellite dish." Dean Says

"Exactly. And this place is packed with people summoning spirits." Sam Says

"Yeah, but, dude, most of these guys can't even call a taxi." Dean Says

"All it takes is one." Elena Says

"That's gonna be like looking for a needle in a stack of fake needles." Dean Says

"It's worse. I mean, I'll bet you anything some of these guys got real juice. I'm not talking kill-people level. I'm just saying, enough to make it complicated." Sam Says

"I hate this town. All right, so...what? Start hitting up the Miss Cleos?" Dean Says

"I was thinking split up and canvass. It's faster." Sam Says Then walks away.

"Right. 'Course you were." Dean Says

HOUSE

Melanie's Friend, dressed in costume, tips a container of bones onto a table, whispers over them and raises one to her forehead. She inhales deeply. A woman Customer is seated across from her.

"What is it? My brother? Is he going back to prison?" She Asks

"Stay away. His curse will drag you down. Folks do turn jail into a habit, you know?" The Customer looks disappointed and exasperated. "Oh, no, no. Don't fret. I's always say, family... is a pain in the ass anyhow!" She Says

"Thank you, Sister Thibodeaux." She Says

"No, child. Thank the spirits. Now, will that be cash or credit?" She Asks

Melanie's Friend counts money and puts it in a metal box. She picks up the box and walks a few steps across the room. Her eyes turn white and she has a vision of fire, a cuckoo clock chiming 2 o'clock, and herself being strangled.

A doorbell rings. Dean, Elena and Melanie are outside and She opens the door.

"It's okay. Like I said on the phone, they can help." Melanie Says

"Phony lawman, huh?" She Says

"Yeah, 'cause nobody can relate to phony around here." Dean Says

"Well, if you can do something, I don't care if you call yourself the Pope." She Says

"All right. What happened, exactly?" Dean Asks

"What happened is, I had a friggin' vision. Something is coming for me." She Says

"What's coming? Did you get a look?" Elena Asks

"No. But I sure felt it when it started breaking my bones. I don't want to die." She Says

"Okay. We'll figure it out. The vision happened in here?" Dean Says

"Yeah, by the cash box." Melanie Says

Dean notices a camera in a mask on the wall.

"There any chance good-lookin' was watching?" Dean Says

Elena, Dean, Melanie and her Friend watches the video footage on a computer. It shows Melanie's Friend walking across the room with the cash box when the picture cuts out.

"What was that?" Elena Asks

Dean replays the footage. A ghost of a woman can be seen behind Melanie Friend.

"What the hell?!" Melanie Says

The ghost on the video footage walks up behind Melanie's Friend and puts her hands on her head.

"Oh, my God." Melanie Says

"Oh, my God!" She Says

"W-was that, I mean, an actual—" Melanie Says

"Bona fide. Yeah. Well, no offense, but nobody's having psychic visions around here. This, uh, spirit, whoever she is, is giving them out." Dean Says

"And then killing people?" She Says

"Until we stop her." Elena Says

"Well, the good news is you said you saw a clock and it read 2 a.m., so that gives us a little time. Now, does anybody recognize this chick?" Dean Says

"You know, I swear I've seen her, like in a painting or something." Melanie Says

"A painting? Like, a—" Elena Says

"No, not a painting. In one of those old photos in the museum." Melanie Says

LILY DALE MUSEUM OF CURIOSITIES

A Museum is leading a group into a room in which Sam, Elena and Dean are standing at opposite ends.

"Lily Dale has long been a haven for the psychically gifted. Tortured elsewhere, they're embraced here. My own family has a modest natural gift. We also celebrate our long and colorful history of... embellishers." People in the group laugh. The Guide gestures towards a display. "Ectoplasm illusion, circa 1890." He Says

Sam rolls his eyes and walks out of the room. Dean follows him.

"Walking, walking. Now as you may know, ectoplasm..." Dean walks past a historical poster advertising "Sibling Acts" "...comes from the Greek "ecto" Sam and Dean are in a room with many photographs of people on the wall. The camera pans in on "The Mystifying Campbell Brothers". Sam sighs.

"Never ended well for the siblings." Guide Says

"Why is that?" Dean Asks As Elena enters

"Mm, the strain of working together, or maybe just being around each other all their lives. Those two were the exception, actually – the Campbells. Got along famously. Of course, that was just a stage name. They weren't actually brothers. That was a cover for their, um... alternative lifestyle. Any other questions I can answer?" Guide Says

"Yes. Who are they?" Sam Asks

"Oh, the Fox sisters – among the founders of Lily Dale. Kate Fox – quite troubled, apparently, but mesmerizing onstage. She's said to be able to levitate objects and foretell one's death." Guide Says

"That's her." Dean Says

"Her older sister, Margaret – perhaps not a natural psychic." Guide Says

"So, full of crap." Dean Says

"Yes, well... she didn't have her sister's charisma, but she looked after Kate. Sometimes, one's true gift is taking care of others." Guide Says

"So, what happened to them?" Elena Asks

"Lived here all their lives." Guide Says

"Lived here and died here?" Sam Says

"Yes, well... buried in the cemetery." Guide Says

"Great. That was very educational. Thank you. Dean Elena." Sam Says

Sam and Elena walks away, The Museum Guide grabs Dean's arm.

"I'm sorry, I don't normally do this during business hours, but do you know an Eleanor... or an Ellen? She seems quite concerned about you. She wants to tell you – pardon me – if you don't tell someone how bad it really is, she'll kick your ass from beyond. You have to trust someone again eventually." He lets go of Dean. "Anyway, don't forget to visit the gift shop." He Says

Dean walks down the museum steps to where Sam and Elena is waiting for him and they start walking away.

"All right. Hit up the graveyard, dig up Kate?" Sam Says

"All right. Wait a second." Dean Says

"All signs point to her, Dean." Sam Says

"No. Just hold on a damn minute." Sam stops and turns to face Him. "Enough with "just the facts." Dean Says

"We agreed—" Sam Says

"No, we agreed to work the case. We didn't agree for you to be a dick the whole time." Dean Says

"What?" Sam Says

"Guys Please Nows not the time." Elena Says

"Lena No This is the time." Elena Sighs "You're pissed, okay? And you've got a right." Dean Says

"Yeah, damn straight." Sam Says

"But enough's enough." Dean Says

"Says who? Look, I'll work this damn case, but you lied to me, and you killed my friend." Sam Says

Sam turns and walks away, Dean and Elena walks after him.

"No, I put down a monster who killed four people, and if you didn't know her, you'd have done the same thing." Dean Says

"I did know her, Dean." Sam Says

"Yeah, which is why you couldn't do it." Sam stops.
"Look, I get it. There are certain people in this world, no matter how dangerous they are, you just can't." Dean Says

"Don't pull that card! That's bull. Look, if I've learned one thing, it's that if something feels wrong, it probably is!" Sam Says

"Usually, yeah. But killing Amy was not wrong. You couldn't do it, so I did. That's what family does – the dirty work. And I woulda told you, eventually, once I knew that this whole "waving a gun at Satan" thing was a one-time show. I think it's reasonable to want to know that you're off the friggin' high dive, Sam. You almost got us both killed, so you can be pissed all you want, but quit being a bitch." Dean Says

Dean walks past Sam and Elena, He walks towards the Dodge. Sam stands still and watches him.

GRAVEYARD

Sam and Elena is digging a grave while Dean holds a flashlight.

"I get why she's killing people. I don't get why she's warning them." Sam Says

"Give them a taste of the curse, maybe? It couldn't have been a joyride." Dean Says

Sam and Elena finishes digging. "Here we go." Elena Says

Dean pours lighter fluid and Elena pours salt onto the bones in the coffin. A woman Ghosts materializes and rushes at Elena, sending her sprawling.

"Elena!" Sam & Dean Says

"Back off, crazy eyes." Dean Says

"Listen to me. Why isn't anybody listening?" She Says

Dean holds out his lighter and flicks it, but it doesn't catch.

"No." She Says

"You don't get a vote." Dean Says

"No! Stop!" She Says

"Dean Come on." Sam Says

Dean flicks his lighter ineffectually and Elena flings a lit match into the grave.

"No!" She Says Then burns up and vanishes.

"You Okay?" Sam Asks

"Yeah." Elena Says

"Nice timing." Dean Says As Elena Nods at him

RESTAURANT

"Got it. And, Dean, thanks." She hangs up.
"They took care of it." Melanie Says

Her Friend smiles broadly. "Okay, so... what – just go home?"

"I guess." Her Friend looks worried. "Hey, why don't you come stay with me a couple days?" Melanie Says

"Thanks." She Says

MELANIE'S FRIEND'S HOUSE

Melanie's Friend is gathering things to take with her.

"Just one more minute." She Says

"It's fine, hon." Melanie Says

"Oh, if you had that vision, you wouldn't want to be here either." She Says

The cuckoo clock chimes 2 o'clock.

"Camille, it's okay. Let's just go." Camile relives her vision. "What is it?" Melanie Says

The fire roars to life in the fireplace, the lights flicker and electricity crackles.

"Call them back! Now!" Camille Says

Dean, Elena and Sam are driving in the Dodge. Dean's phone rings.

"Melanie?" Dean Says

"Dean, you have to come back." Melanie Says

"What's going on?" Dean Asks

"It's still happening!" Melanie Says

"Wait, what do you mean it's—" Dean Says

"She's still coming! Just tell me what the hell to do!" Melanie Says

"All right. Listen to me. Calm down." Dean Says

Sam takes the phone from Dean. "Dean, just give me the phone and drive, Melanie? Hey. Get to the kitchen."

"Okay." Melanie Says

The Ghost appears in front of Camille, who screams.

"She's here!" Melanie Says

"All right, just go. Get salt." Sam Says

The Ghost hits Camille, who screams again. The Ghost grabs her by the throat. Melanie flings salt at the Ghost, who disappears.

"It worked. She's gone!" Camille is struggling for breath. The Ghost appears again behind her.
"No, she's back!" Camille Screams. "I'm out of salt!" Melanie Says

"Find iron. Is there a fireplace? Melanie!" Sam Says

Melanie and Camille are standing back-to-back. Melanie is holding a fire poker. A chest of drawers crashes into Melanie, who is flung into a wall and falls to the floor. Camille screams.

"Mel!" Camille Says

The Ghost appears behind Camille and drags her backwards. "Camille! Camille!" There is a sound of flesh tearing. "Camille! No!"
