Int. Morton House—Night
Maggie is filming a winding walkway through Freeman’s junk and calling out for Corbett. There’s tons more animal heads and furniture in this section of the house. Maggie’s camera starts to roll with static and she whips around ---running smack into Dean.
Maggie yells out and Dean raises his hands to calm her. He tells her to stay close, and Maggie tells him okay. Her camera plays static again and Ed and Harry run up, faces concerned. Dean tells them that she’s okay and Harry checks his EMF. While he’s doing so, a rumble shakes the house. Harry brilliantly declares that something’s coming (how’s that for Captain Obvious).
Spruce walks up with his camera, and behind him we can see Sam at the workbench. Then Spruce moves, blocking our view of Sam—never a good thing if you ask me…
Int. Morton House—Freeman’s Den—Night
Dean and the Facers are frantically calling out for their missing. Spruce’s camera sweeps the area, finding Ed and Maggie in an embrace. Ed says that he’s scared and Maggie tenderly tells him its going to be okay. She kisses his neck and they totally start the end of the world making out session. Spruce swings the camera over to Harry who’s mouth is hanging open in shock.
He declares that he can’t believe it’s his best friend with his best sister. Ed tries to calm Harry but Harry demands to know if Ed is banging his sister. Ed doesn’t have time to answer before Harry rushes him, slamming him against the wall. Dean breaks it up, telling them to cut the Sweet Valley High crap because they are down two people.
Random Scene:
Spruce says he’s coming with Dean. Dean calls him and idiot and says that Spruce is gonna get himself killed---but after a long pause, gives up and basically says screw it. Dean turns and runs off.
Int. Morton House—basement—Night
Spruce is filming Dean as they move through Freeman’s basement. Spruce asks what Dean meant back there when he was arguing with Sam. He says that he’s just curious since they were arguing about why they were here. Dean says that their Dad used to talk about this place like it was Everest. John tried it one night, to see if he could make it through.
Spruce says he still doesn’t get it. Dean explains that he’s not going into the details, but he wont be around much longer, so he just wanted to be able to try this one out before—you know its Morton House—it’s a big one.
Spruce says he knows, and Dean asks where the hell his brother could be. There are rusted vents on the basement wall with a tall bolted rack of steel shelves underneath. Dean starts hauling away at the shelves and tells Spruce to lose the camera or he’s gonna destroy it.
Spruce says it’s a habit, and apologizes. He puts the camera down and Dean tells him to help him. Spruce puts his shoulder into it and ‘helps’ Dean rip the shelf down. It falls with a loud clang and a big cloud of dust—past it though is a rusted metal door.
Int. Unknown Space---Night
Sam’s struggling in vain as a record skips on with that It’s My Party song---the record screeches to a halt and a grey presence appears in the room. An eerie whisper says that it’s a lonesome, hard living to be a person—until he thought of the party.
The presence moves past Sam again and again, each time it does more blood trickles from his ears, eyes, and nose. The eerie voice says that Sam doesn’t know any of his stories yet---he has lots of stories. The gray shape overtakes Sam coupled by creepy whispers.
Int. Unknown Space—Night
Corbett’s camera is past Sam and to the door. We hear the loud bangs from outside and the door gives way. Light pours in from Spruces camera. Freeman Daggett’s ghost is hovering over a bloodied and weak Sam. Dean steps in and fires the shotgun at the ghost—it disappears.
The record starts playing the song again and Dean rushes to his brother. Sam tells him to go help Corbett. Spruce’s camera circles around the dark space lit only by camera light, revealing a birthday party.
A table is set up with old plates and a fossilized cake. It reads happy b-day Freeman and around the table, stiffly mounted and posed are the four mummified corpses from the sixties.
The newest guest is Corbett’s bloodied corpse.
Int. Morton house—Basecamp—Night
Maggie’s camera is on Harry and Ed. The two are scared shitless and glancing around the dark room. Ed says he’s not sure how this one’s going to turn out and Harry agrees, then tells Ed that it might be okay, you know if Ed wanted his sister—he guesses. Maggie punches Harry in the arm for that one.
Maggie retorts that Ed can have her brother you know, if he wants---she guesses. She punches Harry again and he swats back, sibling conflict in full force. Ed interrupts them and reminds that they are supposed to be looking for a bomb shelter. Harry looks at the EMF and tells Ed that its at subpeak readings.
A rumble begins and the Facers brace for the impact of whatever the hell is coming their way. A ghost rolls into the room and the Facers panic in horror---it’s Corbett, totally ghosted out and terrifying with blood dripping from his mouth, nose and ears. He’s now a death echo. (this I fear, does not bode well for our Sammy Winchester if you recall….)
Corbett staggers forward, eyes empty as he pleads for help. The Facers back away.
Ext. Ghostfacer Van—Confessional Interview –Sunset
Corbett is rolling up various cords at the back of the van and is talking to the camera shyly. He tells Spruce that he really has to get back to work, and Spruce tells him to work and talk. Corbett looks into the camera and means it when he admits he has no clue what to say. Spruce tells him from behind the camera to just say what’s on his mind. This is a confessional segment so that’s all Corbett has to do—confess. He asks Corbett what he thinks about the trip to the house and what he thinks is gonna happen that night.
Corbett takes a deep breath and says that he thinks tonight, and he really means it, all their dreams are gonna come true. He laughs at himself and says he sounds stupid. Spruce takes a thoughtful second and agrees. Corbett laughs, he can so take a joke at his expense.
Random Scene: Tribute
Ed says that war changes men, and one woman. There is emotion in his voice. Harry says that he knows Corbett is out there. Ed states that Corbett is now officially been granted non-internship Ghostfacer position because he’s more than earned it. Plus, its cool to have a ghost on the team.
Harry says that Corbett taught them about dedication, heart, and how even gay love can pierce the veil of death to save the day. He thanks Corbett and Ed wishes Corbett a go well into the starry night.
Caption reads In Memory of Corbett—King of the Impossible. Camera pulls back and its revealed that the show is being played on the editing monitor of the Ghostfacer’s HQ. Spruce’s camera widens to include the other Ghostfacers watching. Sam and Dean are among the crowd as the pilot ends. Dean trades looks with Sam and says that he half thinks that was kind of awesome. Maggie says that half-awesome is like full on good.
Dean slides a duffel forward, reaching into the bag and we barely hear a low rumble. Sam comments on how its weird how they can honor Corbett’s memory while grossly exploiting the manner of his death. Dean says that it’s a real tightrope.
Spruce turns the camera onto the brothers. Sam and Dean can tell that this all didn’t go over too well with the crowd. Sam back pedals as he and Dean make their way to the door. Sam states that in their experience the world outside will only offer them one thing when they show them this. Dean reveals it’ll be an entry level job at Industrial Light and Magic, either that or a punch in the face.
Sam says he’d take the job. The Facers disagree and Ed declares that he thinks its time and that the world is ready to believe it. Maggie agrees and Harry points out that they should have more faith in humanity cause it can so surprise you.
Dean and Sam leave and Dean mutters under his breath that he totally gets the ‘surprise’ part.
Soon after, the Facers clean up, excited with the promise of their pilot. Ed says they should get a bigger office. Spruce’s camera finds Harry as he finds a duffel bag. There’s a loud whine. Harry says that he thinks the boys forgot their bag, and asks what is that whine.
Harry unzips the bag and lifts up a strange black box, a red light on its side. The whine grows increasingly louder. Harry’s puzzled and Maggie grabs the EMF, telling the group that the meter is peaking off the scale.
The camera flickers and there’s an odd familiar ghost roll that comes into the room. The editing monitors Ed’s sitting at go to black and he stammers that they are having technical difficulties.
There’s a deep rumble and a big flicker of static before the screen cuts to black-the ghostfacers screams the only thing we hear.
