Dean, Sam and Kaylee all walked up to a house and knocked on the door before an elder man opened the door.
"Gerard St. James?" Dean asked.
"Yes" He said confused looking at Dean, Sam and Kaylee.
"You're still alive. And you're not Frank Jaffy" Sam said amused.
"Uh, no" Gerald said sighing.
"You were Desert Soldier #4 in Metal storm: Destruction of Jared-Syn? I knew I recognized you. I am a huge fan. Ha-ha. Your turn as a tractor-crash victim in Critters 3? Wow" Dean said excitedly as Sam and Kaylee rolled their eyes at Dean meeting all his favorite actors.
"All right, well, please. Come in" Gerald said letting them into the House.
"Oh, cool. Thanks" Dean said as they went and sat in the lounge room.
"Yeah, it was the producers. I mean, they brought me in for the day to play Frank" Gerald explained making Dean and Sam a cup of coffee but Kaylee declined.
"Just to fake your death?" Kaylee asked leaning against the wall next to the lounge that Dean and Sam were sitting on it.
"Well, rumors of a haunted film set. Free publicity. Especially when you're making a horror movie. I mean, uh, it's already all over the Internet. Well, these days, it's all about new media. Building buzz. They say... I'm the new Lonely girl" Gerald said making Sam and Kaylee look at each other confused.
"And the ghost Tara saw?" Kaylee asked curiously.
"Projected on a screen of diffusion" Gerald explained making Dean frown.
"Isn't that kind of cruel? Messing with their heads like that?" Dean asked.
"Hey, I just play the part. I don't write the script. Speaking of, I'm playing Willy... in a dinner-theatre production of Salesman at Costa Mesa all next month. You get a free pepper steak with the coupon" Gerald said excitedly handing Dean a coupon making Sam and Kaylee roll their eyes.
"Ha. Well, if you're seen in public, won't that ruin the hoax?" Dean asked curiously.
"Please. Ha. Frank and Willy, totally different characters" Gerald said looking at Sam who sighed.
"You know what? Thanks very much, Mr. St. James. It was just nagging at us, you know. But we're very glad that, you know... you're alive and well" Sam said putting his cup of coffee on the table and standing up, shaking hands with Gerald.
"Absolutely. Hey, uh, I wanted to ask you, what was it like working with Richard Moll? Metal storm. He was Hurok, king of the Cyclops people" Dean asked making Sam and Kaylee share an annoyed and amused look.
"Gentleman's gentleman" Gerald said simply making Kaylee smile apologetically at him before dragging Dean out of the house.
"Well, since this hunt in a bust I'm going to head back out to Kane and Madison" Kaylee said simply.
"Wait… please don't go just yet. Come… come get some dinner with us" Dean said begging slightly, Kaylee looked over at Sam who looked at her pleading. She looked up to the sky and let out a deep breath.
'Okay, fine. We'll go get some dinner" Kaylee finally said because she did miss just hanging with Sam… and Dean. That's where they were when they heard the news that Brad Redding was killed at the set.
"I guess this job isn't finished yet" Kaylee said as they left the cafe where they were having a pleasant dinner.
"I guess this family dinner is too be continued" Sam said as Dean looked at the food that was just brought out and pouted before shoveling as much food as he could into his mouth. Sam and Kaylee shared a disgusted look before getting up and leaving.
"What?" Dean asked with a mouth full of food.
….
"Walter's a little testy for a PA, huh?" Dean muttered as Sam and Kaylee walked back over to him as they were undercover as set workers.
"How's it going in here?" Sam asked as Dean was looking at Tara.
"It's going good. Tara's stepped up her performance. Probably from all the sense memory she's drawing on" Dean explained making Sam and Kaylee look at him confused.
"Sense memory?" Sam asked in disbelief.
"Yeah" Dean said chewing on more food.
"Dean, you know when Sam asked how it's going here, he was talking about the case, right? We don't really work here. You know, I thought you hated being a PA" Kaylee said confused and amused.
"I don't know. It's not so bad. I kind of feel like part of the team. It's good. Oh, taquito? They're wonderful" Dean said taking a bite. Kaylee rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.
"No, um, listen, we conned our way into the morgue" Sam said to Dean.
"And?" Dean asked but his eyes were still on Tara and Kaylee could tell he wasn't listening to them.
"News reports are right…" Sam started to say but Kaylee stopped him before flicking Dean in the ear.
"Ouch! No, sorry. Yeah, Copy that. Sorry, what?" Dean said into the headset before turning to Sam and Kaylee.
"What'd you say?" Dean asked again, holding his ear that Kaylee had flicked.
"News reports are right. Brad's a door nail" Sam said.
"They're aware" Dean said into the headset.
"Who's aware?" Sam asked confused.
"Sorry, what were you saying?" Dean asked again making Kaylee glare at him.
"Uh, what- The newspaper's right. Brad's a door nail, no question about it" Sam repeated annoyed.
"It's a good thing we didn't skip town. Oh, come here. I want you both to hear something. Hey, Dave, can you play him that thing you were playing me earlier?" Dean said to another stage worker named Dave.
"Sure" Dave said handing Sam a headset. Sam put it on and Kaylee lent onto his shoulder, so she could hear it as well even though the headset was on Sam. Dave played the recording of Mitch.
"Doesn't matter, we're not leaving till we…" The audio was disrupted by static noise.
"E.V.P" Sam said to Dean and Kaylee as they walked away from Dave.
"From the night of Brad's stage dive. Suddenly, I'm getting electromagnetic readings up the wazoo. For some reason, it's a legit haunting now" Dean said.
"Who's the ghost, Dean? What's it want?" Sam asked confused.
"I don't know. I think we should take a look at Brad's death scene" Dean said as they walked out of the warehouse set and into an unlocked trailer that was nearby.
"Hey, where'd you get this DVD?" Sam asked as he put it into the DVD player in the trailer.
"They're called dailies. I got it from Cindy. She's got this on-and-off thing with Drew. He dubbed me an extra copy. Here's where the guy fell through the roof" Dean explained as he played the scene, Kaylee cocked her head to the side thinking she saw something.
"Hey, wait. Go back. Go back. Yeah, right there" Kaylee said as Dean paused it to reveal a strange woman standing there.
"It's like Three Men and a Baby all over again. Selleck, Danson and Guttenberg. And I don't know who played the baby" Dean said trailing off confused.
"What's your point?" Sam snapped breaking Dean from his thoughts.
"There's a scene where people say that the camera caught a ghost on film. In the background of one scene... there was this boy that nobody remembers from set. Spirit photography" Dean explained as Sam looked at the ghost.
"I've seen her before" Kaylee said as they went back to the set and sat at the table.
"Here, check this out" Kaylee said to Dean and Sam but Sam was the only one paying attention. Sam and Dean looked over at Dean to see him talking on the radio.
"Yeah, go for Ozzy" Dean said smugly into the radio.
"You have your eyes on Tara?" The man on the radio asked.
"No, I don't have a 20 on Tara. I think she's 10-100" Dean replied making Kaylee and Sam roll their eyes annoyed.
"Copy that. Send her my way" The man on the radio replied.
"Okay, copy that. I'm sorry, what were you saying?" Dean asked as Kaylee sighed annoyed.
"Are you ready to join us in your actual job? Or do you want to keep playing PA?" Kaylee snapped annoyed and Dean froze not wanting to upset Kaylee any more than he had already in the past few weeks. He nodded silently for her to continue.
"Elise Drummond. Starlet back in the '30s. Had an affair with a studio exec. He uses her up, fires her, leaves her destitute. So, Elise hangs herself from Stage 9's rafters right into a scene they're shooting" Kaylee explained handing Sam a newspaper article about it that she found while researching the set.
"Like our man, Brad. So, what she's got it in for the studio brass?" Dean asked.
"Possibly. I mean, it's a motive, and Brad's death matches hers exactly" Kaylee said making Sam and Dean look at each other.
"We're digging tonight, aren't we?" Dean said deadpanned and Kaylee nodded before they packed up their belongings and drove to the cemetery.
"Which way?" Sam asked as they walked through the local cemetery where Elise Drummond was buried.
"Uh, over here. Ha. This map is totally worth the 5 bucks. We gotta go check out Johnny Ramone's grave when we're done here" Dean said happily as they walk past a statue of a man playing an electric guitar.
"You wanna dig him up too?" Sam joked.
"Bite your tongue, heathen" Dean declared loudly.
"Kaylee, what I don't get is why now? After 75 years, Elise Drummond suddenly goes homicidal, you know. Why this movie?" Sam asked confused as Kaylee shrugged.
"Maybe she's mad they're making a scary ghost flick" Kaylee joked.
"Come on, is it really that scary?" Sam chuckled.
"Here we go" Dean said finding the grave and they started to dig it up while Kaylee played look out. Dean broke up the coffin with a crowbar before Kaylee poured salt and gasoline over the body and Dean lit a match and threw it into the coffin.
"Alright, this has been fun but it's time for me to check on Kane and Madison" Kaylee said dusting herself off.
"Call me when you get another job and I'll be there" She promised before running off at werewolf speed.
