INT. – HOUSE – DAY
“What’s the Matter” by Milo Greene plays.
Blood is splattered over the walls and furnishings. A body with a badly wounded leg lies on the ground and another body is covered with a sheet.
♪ Oh ♪
♪ What's the matter? ♪
♪ What's the matter with you lately? ♪
♪ What's the matter? ♪
♪ What's the matter with you lately? ♪
SAM and DEAN enter, guns drawn.
♪ Oh, your love is never good enough ♪
SAM checks the body under the sheet and DEAN goes upstairs.
♪ Oh, your love is lost on me ♪
DEAN removes an iPod from its docking station, stopping the music.
DEAN
Rest of the place is clear.
SAM
Yeah. Uh... no ID on this one. Um... and no clue who is painted on the walls.
DEAN
Well, whatever happened, looks like we missed it.
SAM
Yeah. Great. Wait a second.
SAM points to a half-open laptop with a post-it note that says “Play me” stuck to the lid.
DEAN
What the hell?
DEAN fully opens the lid of the laptop, and he and SAM sit down in front of it. DEAN clicks on an icon that says “Play Me.” An application opens and “This should never have ended this way” appears on the screen.
SUPERNATURAL (Title Card)
ACT ONE
[In a departure from the usual format, the credits are not shown at the start of Act One.]
INT. – HOUSE – DAY
SAM and DEAN are sitting in front of the laptop. The screen still reads “This should never have ended this way.” The screen goes blank and the camera zooms in on the screen.
MAN 1 (V-O)
Hey, Christopher Nolan.
MAN 2 (V-O)
Yeah?
MAN 1 (V-O)
Lens cap.
MAN 2 (V-O)
Oh…
INT. – CAFÉ – DAY
Through a hand-held camera, we see a young man (MICHAEL - MAN 1) sitting at a table in a café. The camera then turns on the face of a second young man (BRIAN - MAN 2), who appears to be holding the camera.
BRIAN
…crap. Damn.
BRIAN points the camera back at MICHAEL.
MICHAEL
Strong work, genius.
BRIAN
Dude, I have no idea what to make this movie about. And I'm, like – I'm A/V Club President, so, you know, it's got to be good.
MICHAEL
Here. Give me that.
The screen goes black for a moment as MICHAEL grabs the camera. He then points the camera at BRIAN.
MICHAEL
I'll tell you what...
BRIAN
You're gonna make it?
MICHAEL
...you're gonna make it about.
BRIAN
Okay.
MICHAEL points the camera at himself.
MICHAEL
In a world where nothing is what it seems... [BRIAN laughs] ...one brave, shockingly handsome, virile young man [He points the camera at BRIAN] and his faithful, learning-disabled...
BRIAN
Oh, no.
MICHAEL
... robotic manservant must battle through waves [He points the camera at other male students in the café] of cybernetic asshats in order to sexually liberate [He points the camera at a group of female students] the women of –
BRIAN
[smiling] Okay. Give me that. Give me that.
MICHAEL
Oh, please. I bet at least one of these girls would let you partake in their awkward-guy experimental phase.
BRIAN
What? These girls?
MICHAEL
Yep.
BRIAN
Okay. [He zooms the camera in on the female students.] Hashtag fails. [He moves the focus from one girl to another.] Homeschooled. Secretly in love with her roommate. Listens to country music. Oh, dude, dude. 12:00, blonde. Wait. [The blonde girl, KATE, gets up.] Is she – oh, crap, crap. Dude, take it, take it. Just take it.
MICHAEL
[quietly] I don't want to take it.
KATE walks over to BRIAN and MICHAEL. MICHAEL is holding the camera.
KATE
Were you just filming me?
MICHAEL
No. Uh, I wouldn't do that.
KATE is holding another camera and filming MICHAEL.
KATE
Does it have the new firmware?
MICHAEL
Uh, yes. Yes, it does.
KATE
How's it handle?
MICHAEL and KATE exchange cameras.
MICHAEL
You tell me.
KATE
Well, your settings are way off.
BRIAN
Oh, I-I like the way the colors – you probably don't care about that.
KATE
[filming MICHAEL] Yeah, so, you weren't checking me out?
MICHAEL
[filming KATE] Well, I do have a thing for beautiful women who respect their privacy. Uh, dick move on my part. I'm sorry.
KATE
Don't be. I have a thing for guys with cool cameras.
INT. – HOUSE – NIGHT
BRIAN is sitting at a desk in front of several computers. Giggling can be heard behind closed doors in another room. KATE, wearing only a T-shirt, enters and walks through to the bathroom.
INT. – CAFÉ – DAY
KATE
No, no, no. Look, it's a great movie, but of the two, I-I prefer "Last Year at Marienbad." You know?
BRIAN
Yeah. It's a classic.
BRIAN is filming KATE.
KATE
How do you like that lens?
BRIAN
It's good. Yeah, yeah. It's lighter for sure.
KATE
That's good.
BRIAN
You know, uh, Michael knows nothing about cameras, right?
KATE
Yeah. But, uh, I'm teaching him.
MICHAEL walks up to the table carrying a coffee.
MICHAEL
Teaching who?
KATE
Oh, my boyfriend. [MICHAEL sits down next to KATE.] He's, uh, big, tall, and handsome.
MICHAEL
Mm. Sounds delish.
KATE
Yeah, you should totally meet him.
MICHAEL
Yeah?
KATE
Mm-hmm.
MICHAEL and KATE kiss.
INT. – HOUSE – DAY
BRIAN is sitting at the desk.
KATE
Let's see. Five years from now? Hopefully passed the bar exam, practicing law. [BRIAN turns a camera around to film KATE and MICHAEL, who are on the sofa. MICHAEL is lying down with his head in KATE’s lap.] Nothing corporate, something, uh... something green, you know?
BRIAN
Green is good.
MICHAEL
Hippie.
KATE
Oh, shut up.
CUT TO:
KATE is filming BRIAN.
BRIAN
Oh, geez. Uh, maybe, like, working for HBO or – or, like, Michael Moore. That'd be cool.
KATE
Yeah.
MICHAEL
Double hippie.
BRIAN
Whatever.
MICHAEL
I will be on a boat in the middle of the ocean with my beautiful girl by my side.
KATE
Aww... sap.
MICHAEL
And you can come, too.
KATE
Nice. See what you just did there?
MICHAEL and KATE kiss.
INT. – COLLEGE LECTURE ROOM – DAY
PROFESSOR
...display of that, let's make sure we put our hand up first next time.
MICHAEL appears to be asleep in the audience. KATE, who is sitting in the row behind him, fondles MICHAEL’s hair.
PROFESSOR
All right, brains, let's get our pens and pencils out. It's time for notes. So, let's turn our attention to our cruelly nicknamed friend Piggy. [We see a close-up of a pin on the PROFESSOR’s jacket.] He uses his glasses to create fire, the sun dial. [A slide on the screen at the front of the room reads “Lord of the Flies, 1st Year Eng Lit.”] He's also rational. He inhabits rational thought on the island.
EXT. – COLLEGE CAMPUS – DAY
BRIAN is filming himself, MICHAEL and KATE.
MICHAEL
What'd I miss?
KATE
Just another pitch-perfect lecture from Professor Ludensky.
BRIAN
Yeah.
KATE
Do you know Simon was a Christ figure?
MICHAEL
Yeah. No. [to BRIAN] Please tell me you taped it.
BRIAN
Come on. Who loves you?
MICHAEL
Aww. I wish I could quit you.
BRIAN
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Another STUDENT walks between them and knocks the camera to the ground.
KATE
Oh, hey.
MICHAEL
Watch it, asshat!
STUDENT
What'd you call me?
STUDENT’S FRIEND
Come on. Let's move. I want to see it.
BRIAN
[Looking at the camera] Oh, man.
CUT TO:
MICHAEL, KATE and BRIAN are walking. We hear police sirens.
BRIAN
Hey, can you shoot some of this for my movie?
KATE
Is that legal?
MICHAEL
Who cares?
A body covered with a bloodstained sheet lies behind a police line. The IMPALA pulls up.
BRIAN
Yeah, that's not good.
KATE
Someone got murdered on campus? You guys live two blocks from here.
SAM and DEAN, dressed in suits, get out of the IMPALA.
BRIAN
Look, look, look. Starsky and Hutch. [He laughs.]
MICHAEL
Rizzoli and Isles.
SAM
Special Agent Rose, and this is Special Agent Hudson. [SAM and DEAN show their badges.]
DETECTIVE
What the hell are you guys doing here?
DEAN
Our jobs. You want to tell us what's going on?
DETECTIVE
Whatever you say, boss. Got a call from a woman that lives upstairs. Said, uh, she heard an attack, came down, found her neighbor here. Jacob Carter.
BRIAN
Who'd he say?
KATE
Uh, Jacob Carter? I don't know.
SAM
Well, is the witness still home?
DETECTIVE
Sure is. She's not the most reliable type. She said she heard some kind of growl, like there was a coyote down here.
DEAN
Awesome.
