Supernatural - The Last Ride Home PART TWO

INT. CAFE - DAY
SAM and DEAN WINCHESTER sit at a table.
Dean munches on fries drenched in ketchup while Sam scans the newspaper.1

DEAN
What you got?2

Sam drops the paper onto the table.3

SAM
Missing girl.4

DEAN
You got anything else?
(off Sam's look)
I don't mean to be funny but the last missing person's case we had you nearly got yourself eaten. So you can't blame me for being a little reluctant. I say we head to California and go help Britney Spears exorcise her demons.5

Dean grins. But Sam isn't laughing.6

Dean sobers up.7

DEAN (CONT'D)
Spoilsport.8

Sam ignores him.9

DEAN (CONT'D)
Alright. Any demonic signs, crop patterns, unusual behavior before she disappeared?10

SAM
No11

Dean goes back to his fries.12

DEAN
Then its just a regular missing person. That's the cops job. Not ours.13

Sam's not so sure.14

SAM
I don't know Dean. 15

DEAN
(with his mouth full)
What's to know?16

Sam turns the paper around so that Dean can see the photo.
Its the same blonde girl from earlier. Melanie Tanner.17

DEAN (CONT'D)
Cute18

SAM
Dean.19

Dean grins.20

SAM (CONT'D)
Look closely.21

Melanie wears a unusual crucifix around her neck.
Dean drops his half-eaten burger back on the plate and pulls the paper closer.22

DEAN
Well I'll be23

SAM
Exactly24

DEAN
You think we'll dealing with a cult?25

Dean perks up.26

DEAN (CONT'D)
Mind control. Kinky sex games--27

SAM
Ritualistic killings. Dean this is serious. Melanie's been missing a week. If it is a cult abduction then she could just be the first.28

Dean thinks that over.29

DEAN
Alright. Lets go check it out.30

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - DEFIANCE, OHIO - DAY
Dean and Sam talk to students. Decked out in suits and ties.
They flash their fake ID.
This time they're impersonating police officers.
They meet up at the fountain.31

SAM
Anything?32

DEAN
Nope. You?33

SAM
Same.34

Dean watches a trio of pretty students walk past.
They look at Dean and giggle. Dean nods back.35

DEAN
They might know something.36

SAM
Dude, they're freshmen. 37

DEAN
Got to cover all angles Sam. All part of the job.38

Dean strides over to the girls.
Sam shakes his head, he can't help but smile.39

INT. MOVIDA NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT
Flashing lights. Music pulsates.
Young, scantily clad writhing bodies.
Dean checks out the club with interest.
Sam motions to the bar where a pretty brunette sits. 40

CHELSEA
She knocks back tequila and flirts with the barman. 41

SAM
Hardly the grieving best friend.42

Sam doesn't approve. Dean does. She's stunning.43

DEAN
Let me handle this.44

SAM
Just try and remember why we're here okay?45

DEAN
Of course, I'm a professional.46

Dean grins as he heads for the bar.
Leaving Sam alone, but not for long.
Sam stands out in this crowd. And the girls like that.
He's soon surrounded by hot college girls.
Sam swallows. He's uncomfortable with the attention. 47

The girls try to get him to dance with them.
Sam quickly joins Dean at the bar.48

DEAN (CONT'D)
Chicken49

Dean laughs at Sam's discomfort.
Sam orders a cold drink. It's getting a little hot in there.
Chelsea smiles at Sam flirtatiously.50

CHELSEA
Hi I'm Chelsea.51

Sam's smile is short and strictly business.52

DEAN
This is my brother Sam.53

CHELSEA
Brothers?54

Her face lights up.55

CHELSEA (CONT'D)
Do I get a two for one deal?56

Dean laughs. Sam gets straight to the point.57

SAM
So you knew the girl that went missing, Melanie Tanner?58

Chelsea looks bored. Everyone keeps asking her the same question.59

CHELSEA
Yeah60

SAM
You're not worried that she's missing?61

CHELSEA
She's a big girl she can take care of herself.62

She smiles at Dean suggestively.63

CHELSEA (CONT'D)
And so can I.64

Dean nods. He's sure she can.65

SAM
You were the last person to see her. 66

CHELSEA
Aren't I the lucky one?67

Chelsea is sick that her friend is getting all the attention and she's not even around.68

SAM
Did she say anything about leaving town?69

CHELSEA
Look, she probably hooked up with some guy. She'll show up in a few days.70

Dean looks like he agrees with her.71

CHELSEA (CONT'D)
(to Dean)
I'll tell you what, why don't we lose groucho here and the two of us go back to my place.72

Dean is up for it. Sam coughs. Dean sighs.73

DEAN
I can't. Got an early start.74

CHELSEA
Too bad.75

Dean watches her walk away. He whacks Sam in the arm.76

SAM
Ouch. What was that for?77

DEAN
Killjoy.78

EXT. MOVIDA NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT
Sam and Dean exit.79

SAM
Well that was a waste of time.80

DEAN
What did I tell you? This one's for the cops. 81

Sam watches as a petite blonde climbs into the passenger seat of a black truck.
A heavily tattooed man climbs into the drivers seat.
The truck drives off.82

DEAN (CONT'D)
Looks like everyone getting some action except us. I say we head to Fort Lauderdale. Spring Break. Pool parties. Skimpy bikini's. What do you say?83

Sam sighs.84

SAM
Fine.85

DEAN
(surprise)
You're agreeing with me?86

Sam shrugs. Dean grins.87

DEAN (CONT'D)
Alright!88

INT. BLACK PICKUP TRUCK - NIGHT
The petite blonde and her tattooed boyfriend fight.
She wrestles with the door handle.89

BLONDE GIRL
Let me out! I want to get out!90

TATTOOED GUY
Don't be stupid.91

BLONDE GIRL
Don't call me stupid! I mean it. Let me out. Let me out of this freaking car!92

He slams on the brakes.93

TATTOOED GUY
Fine!94

The truck comes to a screeching halt.
She falters for a moment.
She didn't think he would really do it. But she won't back down now.95

BLONDE GIRL
Fine!96

She climbs out.
So does he.97

TATTOOED GUY
Come on babe, I'm sorry okay. Get back in the car. 98

She walks away from him.99

TATTOOED GUY (CONT'D)
Get back in the damn car!100

BLONDE GIRL
Don't tell me what to do!101

He sighs.102

TATTOOED GUY
Its late. I'm tired, you're tired, lets just go home.103

BLONDE GIRL
I'm not going anywhere with you.104

He grabs her arm. She pulls away.105

BLONDE GIRL (CONT'D)
Let go of me!106

He puts his hands up. 107

TATTOOED GUY
Fine! If that's what you want.108

The door slams and he speeds off.
She swallows. She starts to take in her surroundings.
The road is empty. Quiet. And totally dark.
She takes a deep breath. Nervously scanning the thick forest growth that banks the road. 109

She walks quickly.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
A OWL HOOTS.
She jumps. 110

BLONDE GIRL
Shit.111

She laughs nervously.
She looks behind her. Hoping to see her boyfriend's car but the road is empty.
She takes out her cell. But there's no reception.
In the distance she can see the lights of the town.
She's relieved she's nearly home.
She just has to cross the bridge.112

We can hear an engine running in the background.
She spins around.113

BLONDE GIRL (CONT'D)
I knew you'd come back for me.114

The words die out on her lips.
Its not him.
She uses her hands to shield her eyes.
Blocking the intense glare of the headlights.
Then there's that noise that a bus makes when it comes to a stop, a kind of whooshing sound.
Then the lights go out.115
