"So "The X-files" is real, or you just stopped talking like an FBI agent." Melanie Says

"Well, um... we're not FBI agents." Sam Says

"I need a drink." Melanie Says

"I support that." Dean Says

They exit Melanie's house. "You know, if this is a spirit, it ain't your average spook tied to a house. I mean, this thing is boogieing all over town." Dean Says

"Not surprised." The camera pans to two "psychic" signs outside nearby houses. "I mean, how many crystal balls do you figure there are in Lily Dale?" Sam Says

"Somewhere between 50 and, uh, all of them." Elena Says

Dean, Elena and Sam walk to the Dodge.

"Well, I mean, quartz can act as an antenna for spirits, right? I mean, that's why mediums started using crystal balls in the first place." Sam Says

"Well, that means that every storefront in town has got a ghost satellite dish." Dean Says

"Exactly. And this place is packed with people summoning spirits." Sam Says

"Yeah, but, dude, most of these guys can't even call a taxi." Dean Says

"All it takes is one." Elena Says

"That's gonna be like looking for a needle in a stack of fake needles." Dean Says

"It's worse. I mean, I'll bet you anything some of these guys got real juice. I'm not talking kill-people level. I'm just saying, enough to make it complicated." Sam Says

"I hate this town. All right, so...what? Start hitting up the Miss Cleos?" Dean Says

"I was thinking split up and canvass. It's faster." Sam Says Then walks away.

"Right. 'Course you were." Dean Says

HOUSE

Melanie's Friend, dressed in costume, tips a container of bones onto a table, whispers over them and raises one to her forehead. She inhales deeply. A woman Customer is seated across from her.

"What is it? My brother? Is he going back to prison?" She Asks

"Stay away. His curse will drag you down. Folks do turn jail into a habit, you know?" The Customer looks disappointed and exasperated. "Oh, no, no. Don't fret. I's always say, family... is a pain in the ass anyhow!" She Says

"Thank you, Sister Thibodeaux." She Says

"No, child. Thank the spirits. Now, will that be cash or credit?" She Asks

Melanie's Friend counts money and puts it in a metal box. She picks up the box and walks a few steps across the room. Her eyes turn white and she has a vision of fire, a cuckoo clock chiming 2 o'clock, and herself being strangled.

A doorbell rings. Dean, Elena and Melanie are outside and She opens the door.

"It's okay. Like I said on the phone, they can help." Melanie Says

"Phony lawman, huh?" She Says

"Yeah, 'cause nobody can relate to phony around here." Dean Says

"Well, if you can do something, I don't care if you call yourself the Pope." She Says

"All right. What happened, exactly?" Dean Asks

"What happened is, I had a friggin' vision. Something is coming for me." She Says
