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. 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.

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

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!
