SAM:
Bobby? Bobby? Hey, hey, hey hey. Hold on.
DEAN:
Sam, is he dead?
SAM:
I’m checking.
SAM feels BOBBY’s neck for a pulse.
DEAN:
Is he dead?!
SAM:
Just drive, Dean! Bobby!
DEAN:
You gotta talk to me, Sam!
SAM:
All right, he’s breathing. There’s a pulse.
DEAN enters numbers on his cell phone.
DEAN:
Keep him upright. Stop the bleeding.
SAM:
I’m not an idiot, Dean! I know first aid for a friggin’ bullet to the head!
DEAN (on phone):
I need the nearest trauma center.
SAM:
Hold on. Hold on.
DEAN (on phone):
What’s the address?!

All right, Bobby, hang in there.
The vehicle skids as DEAN accelerates.

External, moving to internal, shot of the bullet hole in BOBBY’s temple.

Bobby! Just hold on!
EXT. FOREST – DAY
BOBBY, DEAN and SAM are walking through the forest in a repeat of a scene from 7.09 How to Win Friends And Influence Monsters. They look up at a bloodied arm hanging from a tree.
DEAN:
Well, I guess we found Phil.
BOBBY:
Wait a minute. Something’s not right here.
DEAN:
Yeah, no kidding, Bobby. There’s a corpse in a tree.
BOBBY:
Something bad’s about to happen.
DEAN:
Yeah, well danger’s kinda on the W2 – that’s why we got the guns.
Blood drips onto BOBBY’s hand. There is now a bloodstain on BOBBY’s cap. He puts his fingers to his head and sees more blood on his fingertips when he lowers his hand.
BOBBY:
Or something bad’s happened already.
INT. OLD HOUSE – DAY
BOBBY, DEAN and SAM enter. BOBBY removes his cap and touches his head. There is a small amount of blood on his forehead.
BOBBY:
Balls.
SAM:
Y-you want to tell us what’s going on?
DEAN:
Yeah, what’s going on with your head?
BOBBY:
I got shot in it!
DEAN:
You what?
SAM:
Bobby, we’ve been with you all day.
DEAN:
Yeah, I think we would have noticed if you took a bullet.
BOBBY:
I didn’t take one here. I-I took one out there, i-i-in the real world.
DEAN:
You lost us.
SAM:
Look, Bobby, you – you want to sit down, seriously?
BOBBY:
No, there’s something I gotta tell you. I-I... Dammit, I can’t get at it.
SAM:
Well, it – it’s okay, take your time. We’re – we’re right here.
BOBBY:
No, no, not you, you. Real you. Out – out there, in the waking world. Numbers. Numbers. Where’s paper?
BOBBY walks over to the table, on which there is a pen and notebook, and writes
BOBBY:
I didn’t have time before to tell you what...
BOBBY writes “454895” in the notebook.
BOBBY:
...they’re cookin’ up. You need to know.
BOBBY puts the piece of paper from the notebook in his jacket pocket.
KAREN:
Well...
INT. BEDROOM – DAY
KAREN is sitting on the bed in a nightgown. There are candles on the bedside tables. BOBBY is standing in the doorway holding a glass of red wine.
KAREN:
... you just gonna stand there or hand it over, Bobby?
BOBBY:
What the hell? Karen?
KAREN:
You were expecting Farrah Fawcett?
BOBBY:
No. She always calls first. [pause] That’s what I said the first time this happened.
KAREN:
What are you talking about? Gimme!
KAREN holds out her hand. BOBBY looks down and notices the glass of wine.
BOBBY:
Oh.
BOBBY gives KAREN the glass of wine.
BOBBY:
This – this is just like it was. You’re beautiful.
KAREN:
Quit sweet-talkin’ and come here.
KAREN takes BOBBY’s hand.
KAREN:
I feel like we haven’t talked in ages.
BOBBY:
I know just how you feel.
KAREN:
Listen, I have something I want to say to you. No excuses this time, okay? Just sit, Bobby.
BOBBY sits down on the bed.
BOBBY:
I know what night this is. I remember this.
KAREN:
I’ve thought about this a lot. I really...
KAREN and BOBBY simultaneously:
...sat with this...
KAREN hits BOBBY lightly.
KAREN:
Don’t make fun of me.
BOBBY:
I wouldn’t. But right now I gotta...
There is the sound of thunder.
BOBBY:
I don’t remember a storm coming in the night this happened.
BOBBY goes to the window and sees a full moon and a sky full of stars. The stars all disappear and the reflection of the moon in the window fades. BOBBY sees a YOUNG BOY running from behind a shed towards the house.
BOBBY:
Mother Mary. I’ve got a messed-up fruitcake.
KAREN:
What, Bobby?
BOBBY:
Nuthin’. I gotta go. I’m sorry, darling.
KAREN:
Bobby, wait! Don’t go.
EXT. STREET – NIGHT
BOBBY looks around at lightening and hears thunder. He is behind RUFUS, who is standing outside a building wearing a pest control uniform. BOBBY is wearing the same uniform.
RUFUS:
Number-one trick, is act like you know what you’re doing, Bobby.
BOBBY:
Rufus?
RUFUS:
What, I can’t give you advice now? All of a sudden you know everything? You know, I can always go wait in the car.
BOBBY:
No, wait. I – I need your help. Bad.
RUFUS:
Yeah, damn straight you do.
BOBBY:
No, listen to me, Rufus. I’m gonna die!
RUFUS:
Oh, now that’s a realistic view of the mortality rate on a ghost hunt.
RUFUS is holding an EMF reader, which lights up and makes noises.
RUFUS:
Whoa, whoa, Nellie, red line. All right, baby boy, here we go.
BOBBY:
No, Rufus!
RUFUS enters the building. BOBBY looks around. It is now raining. The camera pans out and we see that the building is a church. The YOUNG BOY from the previous scene runs down the street.
RUFUS opens the door of the church again.
RUFUS:
Are you coming, Bobby? I mean, we’re not getting any younger here!
BOBBY:
Coming.
BOBBY looks down to see the YOUNG BOY in front of him. The YOUNG BOY clasps BOBBY’s arm.
YOUNG BOY:
God’s gonna punish you.
BOBBY hears the sound of breaking glass and looks behind him to see a broken glass of milk on a tiled floor. When he turns back, the YOUNG BOY is gone. BOBBY enters the church.
INT. CHURCH – NIGHT
Six people in red robes are standing at the front of the church. RUFUS walks towards a door at the side. The six people form a line and hold hymn books as if they are about to sing. There is thunder, the ground shakes and Bibles fall out of the pews. As BOBBY watches, the members of the choir disappear. The lights go off. A man holding an old-fashioned watch on a chain walks up behind BOBBY.
MAN:
Hello, Mr. Singer.
BOBBY turns and sees that the man is dressed in a dark suit. There is a flash of lightening. The man swings the watch on its chain and catches it in his hand.
MAN:
Your time’s up.
