TEASER
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
(Sam is running from cops. There are sirens and a police car comes around the corner. Sam runs to a door and tries to open it but it's locked. He kicks a gate open and hides behind a wall as the police car passes. The car drives slowly past a "Castle Storage" sign - John Winchester's lock-up, which Sam doesn't notice. When it's gone, he walks quickly to a door labelled "Delivery Entrance Only". He enters and closes the door behind him.
INT. BAR - NIGHT
(Sam enters the bar. A young woman, Robin, is cleaning the bar.)
ROBIN: Hey, we're closed.
SAM: Just uh, just give me a second. (He goes to the window.)
ROBIN: So pal, we - we open at noon.
SAM: Look, you don't understand.
(Outside, the cop car passes again and Sam moves away from the window.)
ROBIN: Okay, I - I think I understand just fine. Look I - I don't need this kind of hassle. So seriously, just get the hell out.
SAM: Please. Please, just give me a minute to think, that's all. Then I'm out of your hair. (Under the counter, Robin picks up a baseball bat.) One minute. Please. (Sam catches his breath.)
ROBIN: (She sighs and puts the bat down.) What's your name?
SAM: I don't know.
ROBIN: What do you mean you don't know?
SAM: I mean I don't remember. I don't remember anything.

ACT I
(Robin opens a drink and gives it to Sam.)
ROBIN: Come on, you're dickin' with me. Nothing?
SAM: I'm telling you. Blank slate. (He drinks.)
ROBIN: Well, you got a wallet? ID?
SAM: I wish I did.
ROBIN: Okay, well what's the last thing you remember?
SAM: (shakes his head) Um, I woke up on a park bench, cops shoving a flashlight in my face, trying to take me in.
ROBIN: So you ran.
SAM: No, I, um, I knocked 'em out cold. Both of 'em. No, look, I - I didn't mean to. It just happened really fast, you know I - I think instinct or something, I guess.
ROBIN: Some instinct.
SAM: Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, who even knows how to do something like that?
ROBIN: We'll get you to the ER. The - the quacks will hash it out.
SAM: No.
ROBIN: Try "yeah". Look the-the bats have flown the belfry, you need to see a doctor.
SAM: No. (Sam gets up.) I don't have time.
ROBIN: Time for what?
SAM: (sighs) Look, it's hard to explain, I just feel like I - I have to be somewhere. There's something I gotta stop.
ROBIN: Oh, like a wedding? A train?
SAM: No, something important. Something like life or death, like -
ROBIN: Okay, hey, hey, hey. Just relax, you know, you - you can't poop it out, so just... It'll come to you.
(Sam nods. He notices something and walks to a bookshelf. He picks up a book - The Haunter of the Dark by H.P. Lovecraft.)
ROBIN: What is it? (He shows her the title.) You a horror fan?
SAM: Yeah, um, I think so. I really think so. Something - something about this...
(A rush of memories hits Sam.
BOBBY: Phillips ain't his last name. It's Lovecraft.
He sees flashes of Dean outside the hospital, Ben in the car, himself being jumped by a demon, Balthazar, Bobby telling him about H.P. Lovecraft and a hotel called the Nite Owl. The memory-flash ends and Sam, who is slumped over, is gasping but otherwise okay.)
ROBIN: Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey. Seriously, we are taking you to a doctor.
SAM: Have you got a computer?
ROBIN: What?
(Sam finds the Nite Owl Hotel's website on Robin's laptop.)
SAM: That's it. It exists. Look, two towns over. (He turns the laptop so that she can see.)
ROBIN: What, you think you're staying in this dump?
SAM: Maybe.
ROBIN: Oh, maybe you're a hooker.
SAM: (chuckles) I guess I'll find out.
ROBIN: Hmm.
SAM: (sighs) Look, um, I don't know how to say, uh, thanks for everything.
ROBIN: Where do you think you're going?
SAM: I'll be fine.
ROBIN: Says the headcase that just slumped over a minute ago. Look, is there any way I can convince you to go to a hospital?
SAM: No. Apparently, I'm stubborn.
ROBIN: Oh. So am I. (She gets her jacket.) I'm driving.
SAM: Look, that's really nice of you, but not necessary.
ROBIN: Really? Okay, look, your eggs are scrambled.
SAM: But -
ROBIN: But nothing.
SAM: No, I mean I'm just some guy. I - I could be anybody. You gotta be nuts.
ROBIN: I've been called that. Look, if I let you go off alone, I won't be able to sleep at night. And, honestly, I'm dying to know how it all turns out.
EXT. OUTSIDE NITE OWL HOTEL - NIGHT
(Sam & Robin walk towards the hotel.)
ROBIN: So, uh, where do we start?
SAM: Uh, ground floor corner room, nearest to the fire escape. That's the one I'd pick, quickest getaway.
ROBIN: Any why do you know that?
SAM: (scoffs) I just do.
INT. NITE OWL HOTEL - NIGHT
(Sam & Robin walk past a man that looks like Bobby. They stand outside the door of room 107. Sam knocks on the door. There's no answer. He tries the handle. It's locked.)
SAM: Hey, you got a credit card?
ROBIN: Uh - (She gets her card.) Why, are we uh, checking in?
SAM: Sort of. (He takes the card and picks the lock with it. The door opens. Robin takes her card back.)
ROBIN: Dude... Who are you?
SAM: Good question.
(They enter the room. There are various pictures, newspaper articles and maps on the wall - a typical hunter's investigation.)
ROBIN: This all yours?
SAM: I don't know. I guess.
ROBIN: Well, I love what you've done with the place. It's very Beautiful Mind meets Se7en. Sorry, I talk when I'm nervous. (She picks up an ID from the table.) Hey, well I guess we know your name. Nice to meet you, Jimmy Page. (She leafs through the other fake IDs.) And uh, Neil Peart, and Angus Young. (She chuckles nervously.) Okay, listen no offence but I'm - I'm really starting to freak out.
SAM: (scoffs) You and me both. (He sighs and notices a newspaper article. The headline is "SFU Professor Missing". The picture is of Dr Eleanor Visyak. Sam gets another rush of memories. There is a flash of Dr Visyak. Sam collapses. He remembers something else.)
[ SAM'S MEMORY - EXT. ALLEY - DAY
(Sam, Bobby and Dean are walking down an alley.)
DEAN: Where is she?
BOBBY: (shrugs) She said to meet her here. I'll try her again. (He takes out his cellphone and dials. They hear Eleanor's phone ringing from nearby. It's on the ground next to a dumpster. They hurry to it and find Eleanor sitting on he ground against the dumpster. She's hurt. Bobby kneels in front of her. Sam and Dean stand behind him.)
BOBBY: El?
ELEANOR: Hey. I guess I could've used your help after all.
BOBBY: Just be still.
SAM: What happened?
ELEANOR: They took me. I got away.
(She opens her coat. Her shirt is soaked with blood by her stomach.)
BOBBY: Oh, Ellie. What have they done to you?
ELEANOR: (chuckles) Everything. The demon I could've handled, but when the angel stepped in, I - (sighs) I told him, Bobby. They have enough to crack Purgatory wide open.
BOBBY: Tell me. I need to know.
ELEANOR: They need virgin blood. That's a milk-run for them. And they need the blood of a Purgatory native, and well, they've got plenty of that now.
DEAN: Have they opened it yet?
ELEANOR: (she shakes her head) Tomorrow. The moon - an eclipse. I'm sorry, Bobby.
BOBBY: No, it's okay. It's okay.
ELEANOR: I'm sorry, really sorr-
BOBBY: Tell us where they are.
(Eleanor dies.)
BOBBY: El?
(Bobby closes her eyes. Castiel appears behind Sam and Dean.)
CASTIEL: I'm sorry this had to happen. (Bobby stands up.) Crowley got carried away.
BOBBY: Yeah, I bet it was all Crowley you son of a bitch! (He tries to go after Castiel but Sam and Dean restrain him and he steps back.)
DEAN: (to Castiel) You don't even see it, do you? How totally off the rails you are!
CASTIEL: Enough! I don't care what you think. I've tried to make you understand. You won't listen. So let me make this simple. Please, go home and let me stop Raphael. I won't ask again.
DEAN: Well, good, 'cause I think you already know the answer.
CASTIEL (shakes his head) I wish it hadn't come to this. Well rest assured, when this is all over, I will save Sam, but only if you stand down.
DEAN: Save Sam from what?
(Castiel disappears. He reappears behind Sam and touches Sam's temple, breaking the wall in Sam's mind.) ]
(The memory-flash ends and Sam is in the hotel room, his breathing quick.)
ROBIN: Hey, hey. Are you okay?
SAM: Sam. My name is Sam.
(In the bathroom, Sam leans over the basin and splashes his face with water.)
ROBIN: So, uh, what do you remember?
SAM: Well. (chuckles) It might sound pretty strange if I said it aloud. (He dries his face with a towel.)
ROBIN: Oh, it - it couldn't get any stranger.
SAM: (He throws the towel down.) Yeah. Don't be so sure.
