SHOEMAKER LIVING ROOM
Three GIRLS are laughing, gathered around a table with candles. The candlelight is the only light.
GIRL 1
Okay, your turn, truth or dare?
LILY
Truth.
GIRL 1
Do you want to make out with Benji Swartz?
GIRL 2 laughs.
LILY
Dare.
GIRL 1
Okay, lame. You have to...say "Bloody Mary" in the bathroom.
LILY
Is that the best you can come up with?
GIRL 2
Who's Bloody Mary?
GIRL 1
She's this witch.
LILY
I heard she was a lady killed in a car crash.
GIRL 1
It doesn't matter who she is. Point is, if you say her name three times in the bathroom mirror she appears...and scratches your eyes out!
LILY and GIRL 2 jump.
GIRL 2
So why would anyone say it?
LILY
Because it isn't real.
LILY gets up, and GIRL 1 hands her a candle.
GIRL 1
No turning on the lights, and remember...three times.
BATHROOM
LILY opens the bathroom door. She looks at the shadows on the wall, then closes the door and puts the candle down in front of the mirror.
LILY
Bloody Mary. This is so stupid. Bloody Mary.
The candle flickers. LILY looks at it. A long pause.
LILY
Bloody Mary.
A pause. A loud noise. LILY shrieks. Pounding on the door.
HALLWAY
LILY opens the door to find GIRLS 1 and 2, laughing.
GIRL 1
Scared ya.
LILY
You guys are jerks.
STEVEN
Lily.
LILY looks up to the top of the stairs, where she sees her father, STEVEN SHOEMAKER.
STEVEN
Do you mind keeping it down?
LILY
Sorry, Daddy.
GIRLS 1 2
Sorry, Mr. Shoemaker.
STEVEN heads upstairs. He passes several mirrors; each has BLOODY MARY.
UPSTAIRS BATHROOM
STEVEN takes some pills out of the bathroom medicine cabinet and closes the cabinet, revealing another mirror. He pops the pills in his mouth, then looks closer at the mirror, noticing some scratches under his eye.
LIVING ROOM
LILY and both GIRLS are giggling together.
GIRL 2
You so like him!
DONNA, LILY's older sister, comes in the front door.
DONNA
Hey, geek. You guys having fun?
LILY
You're out past curfew.
DONNA
Thanks, Dad.
DONNA goes upstairs.
UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
A pool of blood coming out from under the bathroom door. DONNA rounds the corner and sees it, stops, then starts forward more slowly. She hesitantly pushes open the bathroom door, revealing a great deal more blood. DONNA screams.
LYDIA Didn't understand it and when she didn't understand things it made her anxious and uneasy, and things between sam and her haven't been as an uncle and Niece should be, he was nervous around her, she was constantly staring into the depths of his soul trying to figure him out so he burried him self not only in his research but also into his own mind and when he slept is when his nightmares haunted him the most and this is what was happening to him now, as she watched him twitch the tension in the car could be sliced, she pulled her stuffy closer to her trying to draw comfort from it she that needed, she wasn't getting it sam was sucking all the comfort out of car and from the very air around them if it could actually happen, it must be an awful dream she thought to her self, she leaned forward and stroked deans hair to try and get some peace from his touch she needed him his touch to help her or she needed him to help sam, and in the end that would help her.
Dean leaned into her touch, he looked into the rearview and saw her discomfort as she glanced from sam to him and back, he knew they were having a hard time connecting as uncle and niece even though they were family and she absolutly trusted family 100% to keep her safe and alive Dean and John had proved that they kept her safe, told her the truth about everything, it helped her be brave and be obedient so they could do there jobs, he could see how she struggled to place that same trust in sam because even he could see sam was hiding things, he sighed and then reached around and held her hand for a minute and then continued to focus on driving.
*********** SAM'S DREAM************
SAM lies on the bed, eyes closed. JESS is on the ceiling. Blood drips on SAM's forehead. He opens his eyes and sees her.
JESS
Why, Sam? Why, Sam?
SAM
No!
JESS bursts into flame.
JESS
Why, Sam? Why, Sam?
IMPALA
DEAN
Sam, wake up.
SAM wakes, confused. He sits up and looks around. He's sitting shotgun in the Impala, which is parked in front of a large building.
SAM
I take it I was having a nightmare.
LYDIA
Yes uncle sammy, you were having a another one.
SAM
Hey, at least I got a little sleep kiddo.
DEAN
You know, sooner or later we're gonna have to talk about this.
SAM
Are we here?
LYDIA sighed and leaned her head on the window, upset that her uncle continued to hide from the truth.
DEAN
Yup. Welcome to Toledo, Ohio.
SAM picks up a newspaper with STEVEN SHOEMAKER's obituary circled.
SHOEMAKER, Steven
The Shoemaker family is sad to announce the sudden death of their beloved husband and father Steven Shoemaker. Steven was 46. A short service will be held on Wednesday, [...] 31 at 2:00 p.m. at the Toledo [...] and cherish you [...] Your [...]
SAM
So what do you think really happened to this guy?
DEAN
That's what we're gonna find out.
DEAN
Let's go.
DEAN, Lydia and SAM get out of the car and head up to the building.
Morgue
Dean crouches down to be level with Lydia.
DEAN
ok Lydia I need you to stay out here and be our look out if you see any Doctors coming this way, do something to distract them ok? here's a cell phone, our numbers are programed in send us text us or call us if something happens ok?
LYDIA
yes daddy I have the perfect distraction.
Dean lifted his eyebrow for a minute in question but Lydia just gives him a cheeky grin then she leans forward and gives him a kiss on the nose, he then stands up and Sam and Dean enter the Morgue
There's two desks. The empty one has a nameplate that says Dr. D. Feiklowicz. The other one has the MORGUE TECHNICIAN.
MORGUE TECH
Hey.
DEAN
Hey.
MORGUE TECH
Can I help you?
DEAN
Yeah. We're the, uh...med students.
MORGUE TECH
Sorry?
DEAN
Oh, Doctor—
DEAN stumbles over the name.
DEAN
—Figlavitch didn't tell you?
DEAN
We talked to him on the phone. He, uh, we're from Ohio State.
DEAN
He's supposed to show us the Shoemaker corpse. It's for our paper.
MORGUE TECH
Well, I'm sorry, he's at lunch.
DEAN
Oh well he said, uh, well, you know, it doesn't matter. You don't mind just showing us the body, do you?
MORGUE TECH
Sorry, I can't.
MORGUE TECH
Doc will be back in an hour. You can wait for him if you want.
DEAN
An hour? Ooh. We gotta be heading back to Columbus by then.
DEAN looks at SAM.
SAM
Yeah.
DEAN
Uh, look, man, this paper's like half our grade, so if you don't mind helping us out—
MORGUE TECH
Uh, look, man...no.
DEAN laughs a little, then turns around and mumbles.
DEAN
I'm gonna hit him in his face I swear.
SAM hits DEAN on the arm. He steps in front of DEAN and opens his wallet and pulls out some twenties. He lays a few of them, at least five, down on the MORGUE TECH's desk. The MORGUE TECH picks up the money.
MORGUE TECH
Follow me.
The MORGUE TECH gets up and leaves. DEAN grabs SAM when SAM tries to follow.
DEAN
Dude, I earned that money.
SAM
You won it in a poker game.
DEAN
Yeah.
SAM follows the MORGUE TECH.
SAM
Now the newspaper said his daughter found him. She said his eyes were bleeding.
The MORGUE TECH pulls back the sheet over STEVEN's face.
MORGUE TECH
More than that. They practically liquefied.
DEAN
Any sign of a struggle? Maybe somebody did it to him?
MORGUE TECH
Nope. Besides the daughter, he was all alone.
SAM
What's the official cause of death.
MORGUE TECH
Ah, Doc's not sure. He's thinking massive stroke, maybe an aneurysm? Something burst up in there, that's for sure.
SAM
What do you mean?
MORGUE TECH
Intense cerebral bleeding. This guy had more blood in his skull than anyone I've ever seen.
SAM
The eyeswhat would cause something like that?
MORGUE TECH
Capillaries can burst. See a lot of bloodshot eyes with stroke victims.
DEAN
Yeah? You ever see exploding eyeballs?
MORGUE TECH
That's a first for me, but hey, I'm not the doctor.
DEAN
Hey, think we could take a look at that police report? You know for, uh...our paper.
MORGUE TECH
I'm not really supposed to show you that.
SAM, annoyed, pulls out his wallet.
There hadn't been any need for Lydia to use her distraction so they grabbed her from the hallway leading to the Morgue and were walking down stairs.
SAM
Might not be one of ours. Might just be some freak medical thing.
DEAN
How many times in Dad's long and varied career has it actually been a freak medical thing and not some sign of an awful supernatural death?
Lydia
never daddy, Grandpa knows the signs monsters leave behind.
DEAN
Exactly.
SAM
All right, let's go talk to the daughter.
SHOEMAKER HOUSE
DEAN, Lydia and SAM walk into the funeral. There is a picture of STEVEN SHOEMAKER on the desk. The attendees are all men in black suits and women in black dresses, except DEAN, LYDIA and SAM.
DEAN
Feel like we're underdressed.
Lydia looks down at her Jeans and sneakers with her caps sleeved lime green shirt again she didn't understand.
Lydia
Daddy, you and I have all of our clothes on, what's it mean underdressed?
SAM
Lydia at wakes and funerals people usually wear black as a sign of mourning and respect.
LYDIA
Oh, how do we, show respect for those that have died, should we change in to black?
DEAN
No, sweets we show respect for the dead by killing the bad thing Remember, so they won't have nightmares any more right just like we did for your mommy.
LYDIA
Alright I understand now it's not what we dress in, but that we stop the bad things from happeing right?
Dean
Yes Little Lydi that's right.
They keep walking through the house towards the back ,A MAN points DEAN, LYDIA and SAM towards DONNA and LILY SHOEMAKER, who are with their friends JILL and CHARLIE.
DEAN
You must be Donna, right?
DONNA
Yeah.
SAM
Hi, uh—we're really sorry.
DONNA
Thank you.
SAM
I'm Sam, this is Dean, and this is our little sister Lydia. We worked with your dad.
DONNA looks at CHARLIE, then back at SAM and DEAN.
DONNA
You did?
DEAN
Yeah. This whole thing. I mean, a stroke.
CHARLIE
I don't think she really wants to talk about this right now
DONNA
It's okay. I'm okay.
DEAN
Were there any symptoms? Dizziness? Migraines?
DONNA
No.
LILY turns around.
LILY
That's because it wasn't a stroke.
DONNA
Lily, don't say that.
SAM
What?
DONNA
I'm sorry, she's just upset.
LILY
No, it happened because of me.
DONNA
Sweetie, it didn't.
SAM
Lily.
SAM gets down on eye level with LILY.
SAM
Why would you say something like that?
LILY
Right before he died, I said it.
SAM
You said what?
LILY
Bloody Mary, three times in the bathroom mirror.
A pause.
LILY
She took his eyes, that's what she does.
LYDIA looked at Lilly and could tell that she was telling the truth she believed that bloody Marry had killed her father, she felt terrible for the little girl.
DONNA
That's not why Dad died. This isn't your fault.
DEAN
I think your sister's right, Lily. There's no way it could have been Bloody Mary. Your dad didn't say it, did he?
LILY
No, I don't think so.
INSIDE SHOEMAKER HOUSE
******Up stairs bathroom********
SAM pushes the door open. There is still some dried blood on the floor.
SAM
The Bloody Mary legend...Dad ever find any evidence that it was a real thing?
DEAN
Not that I know of.
LYDIA
there isn't anything in Grandpas Journal.
DEAN walks into the bathroom and. SAM stoops to the floor and touches the dried blood.
SAM
I mean, everywhere else all over the country, kids will play Bloody Mary, and as far as we know, nobody dies from it.
DEAN
Yeah, well, maybe everywhere it's just a story, but here it's actually happening.
SAM
The place where the legend began?
DEAN shrugs and opens the medicine cabinet.
SAM
But according to the legend, the person who says B—
SAM looks at the medicine cabinet mirror, which now faces him, and closes it.
SAM
The person who says you know what gets it. But here—
DEAN
Shoemaker gets it instead, yeah.
SAM
Right.
DEAN
Never heard anything like that before. Still, the guy did die right in front of the mirror.
LYDIA
LILLY'S right though, The way the legend goes, you know who scratches your eyes out.
SAM
It's worth checking in to.
UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
A woman visible from knees down approaches, SAM, Lydia and DEAN leave the bathroom.
UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
CHARLIE
What are you doing up here?
DEAN
We—we, had to go take Lydia the bathroom.
CHARLIE
Who are you?
DEAN
Like we said downstairs, we worked with Donna's dad.
CHARLIE
He was a day trader or something. He worked by himself.
DEAN
No, I know, I meant—
CHARLIE
And all those weird questions downstairs, what was that? So you tell me what's going on, or I start screaming.
LYDIA stepped back into her father and he placed his arms on her shoulders to steady her discomfort.
SAM
All right, all right. We think something happened to Donna's dad.
CHARLIE
Yeah, a stroke.
SAM
That's not a sign of a typical stroke. We think it might be something else.
CHARLIE
Like what?
SAM
Honestly? We don't know yet. But we don't want it to happen to anyone else. That's the truth.
DEAN
So, if you're gonna scream, go right ahead.
CHARLIE
Who are you, cops?
SAM looks over his shoulder at DEAN.
DEAN
Something like that.
CHARLIE
and who is she, your trainee?
LYDIA
I help them get the bad things, so people don't have nightmares.
Lydia stated factually, she Knew Charlie was suspicious of her father and sam so like always the truth helped alleviate the fear.
SAM
I'll tell you what. Here.
SAM reaches into his pocket, pulls out a paper and pen, and starts writing down his cell number.
SAM
If you think of anything, you or your friends notice anything strange, out of the ordinary...just give us a call.
SAM hands her the paper as he, Lydia and DEAN walk down the hallway.
LIBRARY
SAM, DEAN and Lydia walk into a library, rather dark for the time of day.
DEAN
All right, say Bloody Mary really is haunting this town. There's gonna be some sort of proof—Like a local woman who died nasty.
SAM
Yeah but a legend this widespread it's hard. I mean, there's like 50 versions of who she actually is. One story says she's a witch, another says she's a mutilated bride, there's a lot more. {They walk in to the actual library.}
LYDIA
All right so what do we look for?
Lydia had taken to helping them research latley to be more helpful, her father had already started teaching her about guns and started training her how to disassemble and reassemble the guns he said that she might be ready soon to help them on a hunt, so research was another part of her training.
SAM
Every version's got a few things in common. It's always a woman named Mary, and she always dies right in front of a mirror. So we've gotta search local newspapers—public records as far back as they go. See if we can find a Mary who fits the bill.
DEAN
Well that sounds annoying.
SAM
No it won't be so bad, as long as we...{He looks at the computers which all say "Out of Order" on them.} *chuckles* I take it back. This will be very annoying.
while the three Winchesters were researching the old fashioned way, Charlie was driving in her car talking on her cell phone.
Charlie
I'm not sure. They were cops or detectives or something, and maybe the girl was like a psychic medium or somthing it was weird what she said that she helps them get the bad things, I mean it sounded crazy.
Jill
Whoever they were, they were cute, I could careless about the little girl.
Charlie
Jill
Jill
You didn't think so?
Charlie
Yeah okay they were cute. Still, do you think something happened to DONNA's dad?
Jill
Maybe LILY was right. Maybe Bloody Mary got him.
Charlie
Ha ha, very funny.
Jill
Wait, I'm sorry. Was that fear I hear in your voice?
Charlie
No.
Jill
Charlie, I'm walking to the bathroom mirror right now.
Charlie
Jill, quit it.
Jill
I'm standing right in front of the Mirror, Oh no, I can't help myself. I'm gonna say it. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary.
Charlie
{There is a silence on the phone.} Jill? {Jill screams.} Jill!?
Jill
{Starts laughing} You're such a freak, I'll call you tomorrow. {They hang up the phone and Jill goes to her closet to finish getting changed. She opens the door, and on the inside there is a mirror, where we see Bloody Mary. She closes the closet door and goes to sit down at her vanity, where of course there is another mirror. We see Bloody Mary as she takes her earrings out, and then her reflection again when Jill walks in front of her TV screen. Jill goes back in the bathroom to wash her face, but as she bends down to wash, her reflection in the mirror stays standing. She looks up and sees her reflection looking at her as if it were another person. Jill starts panicking as the reflection in the mirror starts oozing blood out of its eyes. She reaches up and feels blood on her own face.}
Reflection
You did it. You killed that boy.
Jill falls down after seemingly being strangled to death as her reflection in the mirror watches her.
MOTEL ROOM
***SAM's dream again***
The flames sucked up into Jessica's body, we hear "Why SAM?" and SAM wakes up.
SAM
Why'd you let me fall asleep?
DEAN
Cause I'm an awesome brother.
lydia
what did you dream about?
Lydia asked him with her penetrating stare, it's almost like she wanted to compel him to answer.
SAM
Lollipops and candy canes.
Sam pryes his eyes from his niece, which seemed to get harder and harder to do.
DEAN
Yeah, sure.
SAM
Did you find anything?
DEAN
Oh besides a whole new level of frustration? {SAM sits up.} No. I've looked at everything. A few local women, a Laura and a Catherine committed suicide in front of a mirror, and a giant mirror fell on a guy named Dave, but uh, no Mary.
SAM
Maybe we just haven't found it yet.
he says as he falls back on the bed.
DEAN
I've also been searching for strange deaths in the area, you know...eyeball bleeding, that sort of thing. There's nothing. Whatever's happening here, maybe it just ain't Mary.
SAM's cell phone rings. He answers it.
SAM
Hello?
He turns to look at Lydia and Dean with concern etched on his face.
SAM
were on our way charlie, hold on.
sam grabs his jacket and dean grabs his keys and Lydia follows behind them locking the motel door.
Charlie was on a bench, and DEAN is sitting on the back of it with Lydia sitting in between his knees, and SAM is standing there. Charlie is crying.
Charlie
And they found her on the bathroom floor. And her—her eyes. They were gone.
SAM
I'm sorry.
Charlie
And she said it.
DEAN looks up at SAM.
CHARLIE
I heard her say it. But it couldn't be because of that. I'm insane, right?
LYDIA
No, you're not insane.
Charlie
Oh God, that makes me feel so much worse, hearing it from a little girl.
LYDIA sighed, it was hard for adults who didn't know her to believe her because she was only eight, most of the time people questioned what she could actually know concerning the supernatural, but she knew quite a lot from her daddy and grandpa John and she was learning more and more. Dean Noticed this he knew what she felt, people not taking him seriously about the supernatural he and Sam went through the same thing when they were little that's why they had the winchester family rule number one (you shut your mouth about the family business) he stroked his fingers through her wavy dirty blond hair and she leaned into it, it was just what she needed.
SAM
Look. We think something's happening here. Something that can't be explained.
DEAN
And we're gonna stop it but we could use your help.
So they made a plan to get into Jill's room. Charlie comes in and locks the door. She then goes over to the window and opens it, where SAM,DEAN and Lydia were waiting to enter. SAM enters first and DEAN throws him a duffel bag. SAM sets it on the bed and then reaches back out the window to grab Lydia and help her in, then he starts going through it, then Dean climbed through the window.
SAM
What did you tell Jill's mom?
Charlie
Just that I needed some time alone with Jill's pictures and things.
SAM pulls something out of the bag and DEAN shuts the curtains.
Charlie
I hate lying to her.
DEAN
Trust us, there is a time for lying and a time for truth lying to her is for the greater good. Hit the lights.
LYDIA
goes over to turn off the lights.
CHARLIE
What are you guys looking for?
DEAN
We'll let you know as soon as we find it.
SAM
has a digital camera ready, and hands it to DEAN.
SAM
Hey, night vision.
DEAN turns on the night vision for him.
DEAN
Perfect.
The digital camera is aimed at DEAN.
DEAN
Do I look like Paris Hilton?
LYDIA giggles at her fathers comment.
SAM walks away with the camera. He opens Jill's closet door and begins filming around the mirror.
SAM
So I don't get it. I mean...the first victim didn't summon Mary, and the second victim did. How's she choosing them?
DEAN
Beats me.
SAM closes the closet door.
DEAN
I want to know why Jill said it in the first place.
Charlie
It's just a joke.
LYDIA
Somebody's gonna say it again, it's just a matter of time.
SAM is in the bathroom filming around the mirror when he stops and sees trickles of something running out from behind the mirror.
SAM
Hey.
DEAN, LYDIA and Charlie turn to look at him.
SAM
There's a black light in the trunk, right?
SAM has carried the mirror out to Jill's bed and lays it on the bed upside down. DEAN throws him a black light. SAM peels off the brown paper that is on the back of the mirror. SAM shines the black light over the back of the mirror and we see a handprint, and the words "Gary Bryman."
Charlie
Gary Bryman?
SAM
You know who that is?
Charlie
No.
After they were done with Jills room they head back to the park were they met Charlie before so sam could go to the Library and Lydia could play in the playground
DEAN and Charlie are sitting on the bench watching her, then SAM comes up behind them.
SAM
So, Gary Bryman was an 8-year-old boy. Two years ago he was killed in a hit and run. The car was described as a black Toyota Camry. But nobody got the plates or saw the driver.
Charlie
Oh my God.
SAM
What?
Charlie
Jill drove that car.
DEAN
We need to get back to your friend DONNA's house.
Dean called Lydia away from the toys and they all headed back to the Impalla to go back to DONNA'S house. SAM and DEAN are hunched over the back of the mirror with a black light. There is a handprint on it, and the words "Linda Shoemaker".
SAM
Linda Shoemaker.
DONNA
Why are you asking me this?
SAM
Look, we're sorry, but it's important.
DONNA
Yeah. Linda's my mom okay? She overdosed on sleeping pills, it was an accident, and that's it. I think you should leave.
DEAN
Now DONNA, just listen.
DONNA
Get out of my house! {she runs upstairs.}
Charlie
Oh my God. Do you really think her dad could've killed her mom?
LYDIA
Maybe.
Charlie
I think I should stick around.
DEAN
All right. Whatever you do, don't—
Charlie
Believe me, I won't say it.
DEAN was at a computer and SAM looking at some things posted on a bulletin board, while Lydia was reading from her fairy tale book again.
SAM
Wait, wait, wait, you're doing a nationwide search?
DEAN
Yep. The NCIC, the FBI database—at this point any Mary who died in front of a mirror is good enough for me.
SAM
But if she's haunting the town, she should have died in the town.
DEAN
I'm telling you there's nothing local, I've checked. So unless you got a better idea—
SAM
The way Mary's choosing her victims, it seems like there's a pattern.
DEAN
I know, I was thinking the SAMe thing.
SAM
With mister Shoemaker and Jill's hit and run.
LYDIA
Both had secrets where people died.
She said as she looked up from her book directly at sam.
SAM
Right. I mean there's a lot of folklore about mirrors-that they reveal all your lies, all your secrets, that they're a true reflection of your soul, which is why it's bad luck to break them.
DEAN
Right, right. So maybe if you've got a secret, I mean like a really nasty one where someone died, then Mary sees it, and punishes you for it.
LYDIA
just like the wicked queen in snow white, the mirror had to tell her the truth now matter what.
SAM
So maybe it works whether you're the one that summoned her or not.
DEAN
Take a look at this. Cut to a picture of a woman lying by a mirror in a puddle of blood. DEAN prints out another picture and hands it to SAM. The picture is of a handprint and the letters "Tre"
SAM
Looks like the SAMe handprint.
DEAN
Her name was Mary Worthington—an unsolved murder in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
with that information they all headed to the Impalla to go to Fort Wayne, when they got in the to the detectives house who was investigating the case at the time Lydia stayed in the car so Dean and Sam could play the reporter cover.
Detective
I was on the job for 35 years-detective for most of that. Now everybody packs it in with a few loose ends, but the Mary Worthington murder—that one still gets me.
DEAN
What exactly happened?
Detective
You boys said you were reporters?
SAM
We know Mary was 19, lived by herself. We know she won a few local beauty contests, dreamt of getting out of Indiana, being an actress. And we know the night of March 29th someone broke into her apartment and murdered her, cut out her eyes with a knife.
DETECTIVE
That's right.
SAM
See sir, when we asked you what happened, we wanted to know what you think happened.
the detective pulling some files out of a file cabinet.
Detective
Technically I'm not supposed to have a copy of this.
He opens a file to the picture SAM and DEAN found on the computer.
DETECTIVE
Now see that there? T-R-E?
DEAN
Yeah.
DETECTIVE
I think Mary was trying to spell out the name of her killer.
SAM
You know who it was?
DETECTIVE
Not for sure. But there was a local man, a surgeon-Trevor SAMpson. {He pulls out a picture of a man.} And I think her cut her up good.
SAM
Now why would he do something like that?
DETECTIVE
Her diary mentioned a man that she was seeing. She called him by his initial, "T". Well, her last entry, she was gonna tell "T"'s wife about their affair.
DEAN
Yeah but how do you know it was SAMpson who killed her?
Detective
It's hard to say, but the way her eyes were cut out...it was almost professional.
DEAN
But you could never prove it?
Detective
No. No prints, no witnesses. He was meticulous.
DEAN
Is he still alive?
Detective
Nope.
sits down and sighs
DETECTIVE
If you ask me, Mary spent her last living moments trying to expose this guy's secret. But she never could.
SAM
Where's she buried?
Detective
She wasn't. She was cremated.
DEAN
What about that mirror
nods at the one in the picture.
DEAN
It's not in some evidence lockup somewhere is it?
Detective
Ah, no. It was returned to Mary's family a long time ago.
SAM
You have the names of her family by any chance?
***THAT SAME TIME***
inside of a girl's bathroom at a school DONNA and Charlie walked in.
DONNA
I mean, you bring these strangers into my house and they ask me things like that?
Charlie
They were only trying to help. Please, DONNA, you have to believe me.
DONNA
What? About Bloody Mary?
they stop in front of the mirror so Donna can fix her lip gloss.
Charlie
Please, I know it sounds crazy—
DONNA
Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it. I mean it's one thing for my sister to believe this crap, she's 12. But you?
Charlie
Think about the way your dad died, okay? And the way Jill died.
DONNA
Okay so!
she turns to face the mirror
DONNA
Bloody Mary.
Charlie
No!
DONNA
Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary.
She turns back to face Charlie
DONNA
See? Nothing happened.
Charlie
Why would you do that?
DONNA
Oh my God. There really is something wrong with you.
Donna Scoffs at her and brushes past to exit the bathroom leaving Charlie alone, the bell rings and
Charlie is walking down past some windows into the classroom, and Bloody Mary in one of them, but Charlie dosen't notice
while charlie is in physics/science class.
Teacher
Elements that loose electrons become positive ions, which are smaller than other atoms of the SAMe element.
Charlie opens up her compact.
TEACHER
Therefore the ionic radius is smaller than the atomic radius.
Charlie sees Bloody Mary in the corner while looking in her mirror and screams . The class freaks out as she starts running around the room.
TEACHER
Charlie!
She sees the reflection of Mary in the window of the door, picks up a stool, and throws it through the window.
TEACHER
Charlie!
The teacher catches Charlie.
TEAHCER
Charlie stop it! What's wrong!? Just calm down.
Charlie sees Mary in the reflection of the teacher's glasses.
Charlie
Aah! Let me go!
Teacher
Charlie!
Charlie runs out of the room.
SAM, DEAN and LYDIA are driving down the road. SAM is on his cell phone.
SAM
Oh really? Ah that's too bad Mr. Worthington. I would have paid a lot for that mirror. Okay, well maybe next time. All right, thanks.
SAM hangs up.
DEAN
So?
SAM
So that was Mary's brother. The mirror was in the family for years, until he sold it one week ago to a store called Estate Antiques. A store in Toledo.
LYDIA
So wherever the mirror goes, that's where Mary goes?
SAM
Her spirit's definitely tied up with it somehow.
DEAN
Isn't there an old superstition that says mirrors can capture spirits?
SAM
Yeah there is. Yeah, when someone would die in a house people would cover up the mirrors so the ghost wouldn't get trapped.
DEAN
So Mary dies in front of a mirror, and it draws in her spirit.
LYDIA
how can she move through like a lots different mirrors, daddy?
DEAN
I don't know, but if the mirror is the source, I say we find it and smash it.
SAM
Yeah, I don't know, maybe.
SAM's cell phone rings.
SAM
Hello.
The look of concern comes across his face again
LYDIA
Is it Charlie?, she's next daddy we have to help her!
Dean looked at his daughter through the rearview mirror, he was starting to get concerned about this case with Lydia she seemed to have a connection to this some how she was sussing out peoples secrets or at least she was sensing more and more that people were hiding things and it didn't help that sammy was part of that, he turned his attention back to the road and continued to go back to meet Charlie.
Charlie is sitting on the bed with her head on her knees ,SAM and DEAN have all of the curtains drawn shut, LYDIA was throwing sheets over the mirrors, while her dad and uncle were facing the others to the wall or floor.
Sits next to Charlie
SAM
Hey, hey it's ok. Hey, you can open up your eyes Charlie. It's okay, all right?
Charlie looks up slowly.
SAM
Now listen. You're gonna stay right here on this bed, and you're not gonna look at glass, or anything else that has a reflection, okay? And as long as you do that, she cannot get you.
Charlie
But I can't keep that up forever. I'm gonna die, aren't I?
LYDIA
No. No. Not anytime soon, my uncle and Daddy are the best at killing bad things, they are gonna stop Mary.
Dean Sits on the bed too.
DEAN
All right Charlie. We need to know what happened.
Charlie
We were in the bathroom. DONNA said it.
DEAN
That's not what we're talking about. Something happened, didn't it? In your life...a secret...where someone got hurt. Can you tell us about it?
Charlie
I had this boyfriend. I loved him. But he kind of scared me too, you know? And one night, at his house, we got in this fight. Then I broke up with him, and he got upset, and he said he needed me and he loved me, and he said "Charlie, if you walk out that door right now, I'm gonna kill myself." And you know what I said? I said "Go ahead." And I left. How could I say that? How could I leave him like that? I just...I didn't believe him, you know? I should have.
She puts her face back on her knees and starts crying again.
SAM, DEAN and Lydia were driving in the rain, the story that Charlie had told them had similarities to Sam and Jessica's story, he desperately wanted to help his brother find some peace with her passing, Lydia had learned to be brave and over come her tragedy and she had just turned 6 when Amanda was murdered, you would think it would be easier for sam he was 22 but for some reason Sam blamed him self for it he just couldn't figure it out.
DEAN
You know her boyfriend killing himself, that's not really Charlie's fault.
SAM
You know as well as I do spirits don't exactly see shades of gray, DEAN. Charlie had a secret, someone died, that's good enough for Mary.
DEAN
I guess.
SAM
You know, I've been thinking. It might not be enough to just smash that mirror.
DEAN
Why, what do you mean?
SAM
Well Mary's hard to pin down, right? I mean she moves around from mirror to mirror so who's to say that she's not just gonna keep hiding in them forever? So maybe we should try to pin her down, you know, summon her to her mirror and then smash it.
DEAN
Well how do you know that's going to work?
SAM
I don't, not for sure.
Lydia
Well who's gonna summon her?
DEAN
your out of the rotation baby girl, you don't do secrets.
he stated , knowing this was true and she knew it too.
SAM
I will. She'll come after me.
DEAN
You know what, that's it.
He pulls the car over.
DEAN
This is about Jessica, isn't it? You think that's your dirty little secret that you killed her somehow? SAM, this has got to stop, man. I mean, the nightmares and calling her name out in the middle of the night—it's gonna kill you. Now listen to me—It wasn't your fault. If you wanna blame something, then blame the thing that killed her. Or hell, why don't you take a swing at me? I mean I'm the one that dragged you away from her in the first place.
LYDIA
Daddy!
She gasped in horror that he would suggest that Uncle sammy hit him.
SAM
No, I don't blame you.
DEAN
Well you shouldn't blame yourself, because there's nothing you could've done.
SAM
I could've warned her.
He looked in the back at Lydia, as she stared at him with her piercing gaze egging him with a look to let the truth out.
DEAN
About what? You didn't know what was gonna happen! And besides, all of this isn't a secret, I mean I know all about it. It's not gonna work with Mary anyway.
SAM
No you don't.
DEAN
I don't what?
SAM
You don't know all about it. I haven't told you everything.
DEAN
What are you talking about?
SAM
your daughter knows haven't told you everything, she's the lie detector after all, but she doesn't know what it is either.
he tells dean.
SAM
and well it wouldn't really be a secret if I told you, would it?
Dean looked at him with surprise.
DEAN
No. I don't like it. It's not gonna happen, forget it.
SAM
DEAN that girl back there is going to die unless we do something about it. And you know what? Who knows how many more people are gonna die after that? Now we're doing this. You've got to let me do this.
SAM was trying to pick the lock on the door. when he gets the door open, they see tons of mirrors every where in the shop.
DEAN
Well...that's just great.
He pulls out the picture of Mary's dead body to look at the mirror.
DEAN
All right let's start looking.
They split up and walk around the store , the flash light's sweep across the room, as they continue looking for the mirror.
DEAN
Maybe they've already sold it.
{SAM's flashlight stops on the mirror.}
SAM
I don't think so.
{DEAN and LYDIA walks over to him and pulls out the picture again to compare. It is the mirror.
DEAN
That's it.
Dean sighs
You sure about this?
SAM hands Lydia his flashlight to hold while he grabs the crow bar from Dean.
SAM
He sighs.
SAM
Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary.
he looks at DEAN who gives him an unsure look back, then Sam catches Lydia's eyes she was piercing through him but he could also see she was scared, the truth although was always the best policy didn't mean that you didn't feel fear because of it.
SAM picks up the crowbar
Sam
Bloody Mary.
DEAN turns to see a light coming through the store, he turns to Sam and Lydia.
DEAN
I'll go check that out. Stay here, be careful.
SAM readies the crowbar again, while Lydia straightens herself like she always does when she needs to be brave.
Smash anything that moves, and stay out of the way ok Lydia?
LYDIA
Yes, daddy I understand.
DEAN nods at her and crawls away towards the front door. He sees a headlight.
DEAN
Crap.
He puts the crowbar down and begins to walk to the door.
Meanwhile SAM hears a breath he looks to see that Lydia is silent, so he turns to look at a different mirror, he then turns back to Mary's and see her in the mirror in front of him.
DEAN was out side walking up to the police.
Police
Hold it.
DEAN
Woah guys, false alarm, I tripped the system.
Police
Who are you?
DEAN
I'm the boss's kid.
Police
You're Mister Yamashiro's kid?
SAM was facing Mary in a different mirror now, He sees her out of the corner of his eye, he smashes the mirror with the crowbar. She appeared in a different Mirror now, he sees her and smashes that mirror too. He is now back facing her mirror, Lydia was ram rod straight behind sam a few feet she was just Staring at mary transfixed it was like she could see all the lies that the people mary had killed were filtering through her mind as if the truth was bouncing off the mirrors and reflecting in mary herself.
SAM
Come on. Come into this one.
SAM looks oddly at his reflection, which has now taken a mind of its own like Jill's. SAM starts having trouble breathing and has a trickle of blood coming out of his eye. He drops the crowbar and grabs his heart, LYDIA stands there, she was told to stay out of the way but, this frightens her the truth can be terrible when your faced with it as sam was witnessing.
Reflection
It's your fault. You killed her. You killed Jessica.
DEAN was still outside talking to the Police.
DEAN
Like I said, I was adopted.
Police
Yeah.
Dean was being covered back and front by the two cops, when he heard lydia scream for him.
You know, I just—I really don't have time for this right now.
He says punches one cop, back hands the other, then punches the cop in front of him again. They end up out cold on the ground, he turns to run in the direction of his daughters scream, dean looks to where Lydia stands there looking at Sam with horror in her eyes clenching and Un-cleanching her fists as if she is suffering along with sam.
Reflection
You never told her the truth—who you really were.
SAM is now falling towards the ground.
REFLECTION
But it's more than that, isn't it? Those nightmares you've been having of Jessica dying, screaming, burning—You had them for days before she died. Didn't you!? You were so desperate to ignore them, to believe they were just dreams. How could you ignore them like that? How could you leave her alone to die!? You dreamt it would happen!
DEAN's crowbar goes through the mirror.
Dean bends down to the floor to SAM.
SAM, SAMMY!
SAM
It's SAM.
DEAN
God, are you okay?
SAM
Uh, yeah.
DEAN looks to Lydia, she was leaning on one of those large clay vases panting heavely, she looked like she was drained.
DEAN
Come on, come on.
He pulls SAM up, and puts SAM's arm over his neck, and they begin to walk over to where Lydia is to check her as well, when she looks at Sam in the eyes.
LYDIA
it's not over sam, she coming back.
suddenly Mary crawls out of the frame of the mirror. They turn around to see her crawling over the broken glass, May walks towards them both Dean and Sam fall to the ground, They both start to bleed from the face, but Lydia struggles to reaches a medium wall mirror and and walks in front of her father and uncle so that Mary is forced to see her own reflection.
MARY SPEAKS TO HER OWN REFLECTION
You killed them! All those people! You killed them!
Mary starts choking to death and melts into a pile of blood. Lydia throws down the mirror she held and it shatters then she falls to all fours breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath.
DEAN
Hey you two
SAM and LYDIA
Yeah?
DEAN
This has got to be like...what? 600 years of bad luck?
SAM and LYDIA chuckle weakly.
SAM and DEAN driving in the car with Charlie and LYDIA in the back. They pull up in front of her house.
Charlie
So this is really over?
Dean nods.
DEAN
Yeah, it's over.
Charlie
Thank you.
Dean reaches back to shake her hand, and she gets out of the car.
SAM
Charlie?
Charlie turns around.
SAM
Your boyfriend's death...you really should try to forgive yourself. No matter what you did, you probably couldn't have stopped it. Sometimes bad things just happen.
Charlie smiles faintly, then turns around to go into the house.
DEAN
Gently hits SAM
DEAN
That's good advice.
They drive off.
Dean
Hey SAM?
SAM
Yeah?
DEAN
Now that this is all over, I want you to tell me what that secret is.
SAM
Look...you're my brother and I'd die for you, but there are some things I need to keep to myself.
Sam turns to look over at his Niece who was staring out of the window.
SAM
hey, Lydi? what happened in the shop?
Lydia looked over at sam the at her father's eyes in the mirror, then back at sam.
LYDIA
I could see all the secrets, mary draged out of every one she killed, I saw it in my head like a movie, just secret after secret, like the truth had come out as a flood in my mind, it was alot to see.
Sam gulped and dean's eyes widened with worry.
SAM
you saw everyones secrets?
LYDIA
just from the people she killed.
she stated looking at sam intently, she didn't know his secret but she knew he was keeping them, you couldn't force the truth it had to come out in its own time or no one would be truly free.
SAM sighed in relief that his secret was still his own but he also felt bad that Lydia had to take that burden on her little shoulders secrets were a heavy weight the truth was also heavy and she carried truth with her where ever she went with that thought in mind he looked out the window and see's Jessica in a white dress on the street corner standing next to a light pole, as they turn the corner she disappears behind the pole, and she was just gone.
