TEASER

INT. COUNTRY FARM - NIGHT
A man is having dinner while sawing the TV when the lights go out

BILL
Aw, come on. Crap.

BILL tries to open the door but it's looked

BILL
What the hell?!

A closet door opens and a ghostly girl comes out

BILL
You? I-It's impossible. You stay away from me! You stay away from me!

The girl attacks and kills BILL

ACT ONE

INT. IMPALA - NIGHT
SAM wakes from sleeping in the backseat of the Impala, DEAN is studying some papers

SAM
What are you doing?

DEAN
What it looks like I'm doing

SAM
Like you're looking for a job.

DEAN
Yahtzee.

SAM
We just finished a job like two hours ago.

DEAN
Adrenaline's still pumping, I guess. So, what do you think... Cedar rapids, Tulsa, or chi-Town?

SAM
I am all for working. I really am. But you got us chasing cases nonstop for like a month now. We need sleep.

DEAN
We can sleep when we're dead.

SAM
You're exhausted, Dean.

DEAN
I'm good.
SAM
No, you're not. You're running on fumes, and you can't run forever.

DEAN
And what am I running from?

SAM
From what you told me. Or are we pretending that never happened?

DEAN
Stratton, Nebraska -- Farm town. A man gets hacked to death in a locked room inside a locked house. No signs of forced entry.

SAM
Sounds like a ghost.
DEAN
Yes, it does.

EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY
As the Impala drives into the house road we see the SOLD sign hidden in the grass.

INT. FARM - DAY

DEAN
Boy, three bedrooms, two baths, and one homicide. This place is gonna sell like hotcakes.

DEAN
Hey, check this out.

SAM
It's probably a dumbwaiter. All these old houses had them.

DEAN
Know-It-All.

SAM
What?
DEAN
What?

SAM
You said...

DEAN
What?

SAM
Never mind.

DEAN
Well, no bloodstains, fresh coat of paint, This is a bunch of bubkes.

SAM
Needle's all over the place.

DEAN
Yeah -- Power lines.

SAM
Great. So, uh...

DEAN
Well, that's super-Disturbing.

SAM
Think it got left behind?

DEAN
By who? Unless bill Gibson likes to play with doll heads.

DEAN
I thought you said this place was still for sale.

SAM
Apparently, it's not.

EXT. FARM - DAY

DANNY
Come on, Buster!

SUSAN
What do you think? It's nice, right?

KATE
Did anyone bother to check if we get a signal out here?

BRIAN
Actually, I did, Kate. But we decided to move anyway, just to ruin your life. Come on. Let's unpack.

KATE
Uncle Ted, please back me up here.

TED
Kid's right, bri. You're ruining her life.

KATE
See?

BRIAN
Thanks for the help, uncle Ted

TED
I call it like I see it, buddy.

BRIAN
What?
SUSAN
Be nice.

BRIAN
I am nice. What do you think? We do okay?

SUSAN
I don't know.

KATE
Who are they?

BRIAN
Can I help you?

DEAN
Hi. Are you the new owner?

BRIAN
Yeah. You guys are...?

DEAN
This is Mr. Stanwyk. I'm Mr. Babar. County code enforcement.

BRIAN
We had the building inspected last week. Is there a problem?

SAM
Asbestos in the walls, a gas leak -- Yeah, I'd say we got a problem.

SUSAN
Asbestos? Meaning what?

SAM
Meaning until this house is up to code, it's uninhabitable.

BRIAN
You're saying we can't stay here?

DEAN
It's a health hazard. You don't want to.

TED
Hold up. We just drove 400 miles.

DEAN
There's a motel just down the road. Till this gets cleaned up, I suggest you stay there.

BRIAN
All right, and what if we don't?

DEAN
Well, you get a fine, you go to jail. Pick your poison.

BRIAN
One night. One night, and I'll take care of everything, A.S.A.P. -- I promise.
DEAN
Yeah, you do that.

KATE
Another motel? Awesome, dad. I hope this one has hooker sheets, like the last one.

BRIAN
Come on, Danny!

EXT. CURRY'S HOME - DAY

SAM
What did the room look like when you found it, Mrs. Curry?

MRS CURRY
I already told t local boys -- There was blood...everywhere.

DEAN
And Mr. Gibson -- Where was he?

MRS CURRY
Everywhere.

SAM
How long have you been cleaning Mr. Gibson's house?

MRS CURRY
About five years.

DEAN
So you knew him pretty well.

MRS CURRY
Not really well. He was real private. Not the easiest man. Not that I blame him.

SAM
What do you mean?

MRS CURRY
His wife dies in childbirth. Daughter hangs herself in the attic 20 years later. I'd be bitter, too. I think I got some pictures.

MRS CURRY
Here.

DEAN
Thanks. Can we keep these?
MRS CURRY
Suit yourself.

SAM
Now, why'd the daughter kill herself?

MRS CURRY
I don't know. That was before my time.

DEAN
Did you ever notice anything odd in the house when you were cleaning it?

MRS CURRY
Like what?

DEAN
Like, you know, like lights going on and off, things not being where you left them.

MRS CURRY
No. Well, maybe there was one thing.

SAM
What's that?

MRS CURRY
Well, sometimes, I thought I heard like a... Rustling in the walls.

DEAN
Like a rat?
MRS CURRY
Yeah.

DEAN
Must have been some big sons of guns out there, huh?

MRS CURRY
Wouldn't know. Never saw any.

SAM
Do you happen to know where Mrs. Gibson and her daughter were buried?

MRS CURRY
They were both cremated.

SAM
All right. So it probably wasn't the mom or the daughter. Whose ghost was it?
DEAN
I don't know. But I say we give that place a real once-over and see.

EXT. FARM - DAY

TED
Code enforcement, my ass. There's no asbestos.

BRIAN
You sure?

TED
Hell yes. I've built enough homes to know that. No gas leak, either.

BRIAN
Who were those guys?

TED
Not from the county -- I can tell you that.

SUSAN
Hey! You okay?

KATE
Yeah. I just thought I saw something, that's all.

SUSAN
It -- It's gonna be great here, Kate. It really is.

KATE
Yeah, mom. I'm sure. Everything's gonna change.

INT. DANNY'S ROOM - NIGHT

SUSAN [ Out of sight ]
Danny! Are you unpacking?

DANNY
Yeah. I'm almost finished.

DANNY
Hello?
It's okay.
I'm Danny
Hi!

INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT

SUSAN
"Zucchini will grow, but the soil is too acidic for beets." Do you understand any of this?

BRIAN
Can you smell that? That. It smells like a raccoon died up there or something.

SUSAN
That's pleasant. Thank you. Can I continue having a conversation with myself?

BRIAN
Well, I'm listening. A...vegetable... garden.

SUSAN
What are we doing, bri?

BRIAN
What do you mean?
SUSAN
Us...on a farm... Talking about zucchini.

BRIAN
It's gonna be different. I promise you. We're gonna be happy.

SUSAN
And if we're not?

BRIAN
We will be. We have to be.

SUSAN
I can't put the kids through another year like the last.

EXT. FARM - NIGHT

DEAN
Crap. So, what now?

SAM
We could tell them the truth.

DEAN
Really?
SAM
No, not really.

INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT

TED
Hey, guys! You're gonna want to come see this!

SUSAN
What the...

BRIAN
Crayon. Danny!

DANNY
Yeah?

BRIAN
Get your butt down here!

TED
Tell you what -- If my kid did this
SUSAN
He's not your kid, Ted. Just butt out.

SUSAN
Hey. Go easy on him. The teacher said he might act out.

BRIAN
Hey, buddy. Something you want to tell me and your mom?

DANNY
I didn't do that.

BRIAN
Okay. Look, just tell me the truth, and all you got to do is clean it up, okay? No punishment.

DANNY
But I didn't. The girl in the walls did it.

SUSAN
The girl in the walls?

DANNY
She wants you to go and me to stay.

BRIAN
All right, one last time -- The truth, buddy.

DANNY
That is the truth. I can stay, but she hate grownups. And if you don't leave, she's gonna get really, really mad!

BRIAN
All right, go to your room.

DANNY
Mom!
If Andy were here, he'd believe me!

BRIAN
Upstairs -- Now!

INT. KATE'S ROOM - NIGHT

It's okay, Buster. It's okay. I hate it here, too. Buster! Gross! What's the matter with you?

KATE
Oh, my god. Oh, god.

INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT

KATE
Ew! Ew!
SUSAN
It's okay.
DANNY
What's going on?

BRIAN
Katie, baby, baby. Calm down and tell us what happened.

KATE
I just got molested by Casper the pervy ghost! That's what happened!

BRIAN
Ghost?
KATE
Yes, dad -- A ghost!

DANNY
It's the girl in the walls!

KATE
Who?!

BRIAN
Both of you, knock it off.

Somebody knocks in the front door. TED opens the door and DEAN and SAM come into.

DEAN
We heard screams. What's going on?

BRIAN
Oh, you two! Did you touch my daughter?!

DEAN
What? No.

BRIAN
Who are you guys?
SAM
Relax, please. You have a ghost.

BRIAN
A ghost.

KATE
I told you!
DANNY
It's the girl!
BRIAN
Both of you, relax. What are you guys playing?

DEAN
Your family's in danger. You need to get out of the house now.

The light go out in the house.

TED
What the hell?

DEAN
Nobody move!

DANNY
Buster!

BUSTER is howling. BRIAN gets out of the house followed by TED and the Winchester

EXT. FARM - NIGHT

BRIAN
Buster! Buster?Buster! Buster!

TED
What the hell?

DANNY
Buster!

BRIAN
Go back inside. Go!

DEAN
We are not the bad guys, but you're in danger.

SAM
First thing's first. You got to get your family out of here.

DEAN
Head to the motel I was talking about. You'll be safe there.

BRIAN
What are you two gonna do?

DEAN
Oh, no! Oh, come on! Oh, come on!

SAM
Dude, the guns are gone. So is the... Basically, everything is gone.

TED
Truck's no good.

BRIAN
Both tires slashed.

DEAN
What kind of ghost messes with a man's wheels?!

KATE
What's going on? What's going on? She's there! She's there!

SUSAN
Where?!

KATE
She was right there in the woods!

DEAN
What's a ghost doing outside?

SAM
You want to stay and find out?

DEAN
Everybody inside.

TED
Are you crazy? We need to get the hell out of here!

DEAN
In what?! This ghost is hunting us! Everybody back inside now! Move!

INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT

DEAN
Whatever's outside, it can't get in this circle. As long as the salt line is unbroken, this is the safest place to be.

BRIAN
Safe from ghosts?

DEAN
Yes, as a matter of fact.

BRIAN
Okay. I'm not listening to this anymore. Come on. I got to get my family out of here. Let's go.

DEAN
Nobody's going anywhere until we kill this thing.

SAM
Sir, please. This is what we do. Just...trust us.

DANNY
You hunt ghosts?

DEAN
That's right.

DANNY
Like Scooby-Doo?

DEAN
Better.

SAM
You saw her outside, right? Okay. Does she look like either one of the girls?

KATE
Her. She was paler and a lot dirtier, but that was her.

DANNY
That's the girl in the walls.

SAM
So it's the daughter?

SUSAN
That girl in the picture -- She-She's dead?

SAM
She killed herself inside this house.

DEAN
So, what. The maid got her story wrong? Rebecca wasn't cremated?

SAM
Unless her spirit's just attached to something inside the house.

DEAN
She hung herself in the attic, right?

SAM
You want to babysit? I'll check it out.

TED
Look -- I don't care who hung themselves where. Maybe something is going on here, but --
DEAN
It's a spirit, man.

TED
No, it's just some backwoods hillbilly bitch, and I'm not about to sit around here waiting for her to go all "Deliverance" on my ass.

DEAN
Well, nobody's leaving the house.

TED
Stop me.

DEAN
Listen, man. I've got a gun. You don't get your ass back in that circle, you're gonna have yourself a third hole.

SAM
Dude, you don't have a gun.

DEAN
And? I'm not letting that bastard or anyone else die tonight.

SAM
You cool?

DEAN
Go.

TED
Hey. Fonzie. Question for you. This indestructible force field made out of salt... Have to be kosher stuff, or what?

SUSAN
Knock it off, Ted

KATE
What was that?
Mom.

DEAN
All right, everybody stay calm. She's a ghost. She can't come in the circle.

KATE
I thought you said ghosts couldn't cross the circle.

DEAN
They can't. She's not a ghost.

TED
Shoot her! Shoot her!
DEAN
Yeah, about that... Go, go, go! Move!

SAM
Hey!

EXT. FARM - NIGHT

BRIAN
Hey. You okay?

DEAN
Where is everybody?
BRIAN
Hiding.

DEAN
All right, go get them. Go. Go get them.

DEAN
So, it's not a ghost.
SAM
So, it's just a girl?

DEAN
It's not just a girl. It's psycho Nell. I'm telling you, man -- Humans.

SAM
So, who is she, then?

DEAN
I don't know. Maybe it's the daughter, Rebecca Maybe she didn't hang herself.

SAM
Dude, no. She'd have to be like 50 years old by now.

DEAN
Well, I don't know. What'd you find in the attic?

SAM
Some old junk. I found Rebecca's diary. That's about it.

DEAN
I wish you'd found a howitzer. Listen, we got to get this family safe. I mean, it's just a human, so they can make a run for it. We just got to hold her off.

SUSAN
We're okay.

BRIAN
Danny! Ted! We got to go!

TED
I'm good!
SUSAN
Danny! Come on!

BRIAN
Danny, buddy, we got to go!

TED
Told you it was some crazy bitch.

DEAN
Yes, you did.

SAM
Head to town. We'll take it from here, okay?

SUSAN
Danny, come on, baby! We're leaving!

BRIAN
Danny, we got to go!

SUSAN
Brian, where -- Where is he?

BRIAN
Danny!
