PROVENANCE

The following morning Dean asleep slouched in the passenger seat of the Impala, sunglasses on. Sam and Sarah walks round the car, sam leans in and honks the horn which makes Dean jump a foot, Sarah laughs and gets into the back seat and Sam gets into the driver's seat laughing as well dean adjusting his sunglasses and mumbling says "that is so not cool." Sarah said "Aww but it was so much fun, seeing you jump like that." Sam said "We just swept Telescas with EMF. It's clean. And last night, while you were....well...out..." Dean smiled and said "Good times." Sarah said " Sam and I checked the history of the house. Nothing strange about the Telescas." Dean said "All right, so if it's not the people and it's not the house, then maybe it's the contents. Cursed object or something." Sam said "The house is clean." Dean said "Yeah I know, that you just said." Sarah said "No, he means the house is completely empty no furniture is all gone." Dean asks "Where's all the stuff?" Both Sarah and Sam shrugged their shoulders and Sam started the engine.

Inside the auction house Sam, Sarah and Dean wander around, looking out of place in casual rough clothing dean takes finger food from a tray and one man especially watches them pass by then he excuses himself from his companion and move towards them and dean says "Consignment auctions, estate sales. Looks like a garage sale for Wasps if you ask me." He takes more food from a tray on a table, as the man moves up behind them and he says "Can I help you Lady and Gentlemen?" Dean looks him up and down, and then puts more food in his mouth and says in a posh accent "I'd like some champagne please." Sarah said sharply to Dean "He's not a waiter." The Man just looks at him, not moving, Sam moves the hand he's holding out to point to Dean and Sarah and he says "This is my brother Dean and his girlfriend Sarah, we're art dealers with connors limited." That confused the man and he says "You. Are...art dealers." Sam says "That's right." Man says " I'm Daniel Blake, this is my auction house. Now gentlemen this is a private showing, and I don't remember seeing you on the guest list." Dean said "We're there chuckles, you just need to take another look." A waiter walks by with a tray with drinks on it and Dean says "Oh, Finally."

Sam, Sarah and dean check out the items for auction and are drawn to the painting of a family, a woman says "I fine example of American Primitive wouldn't you say?" Sarah, Sam and Dean turn to see a sleek, classy, extremely good looking young woman in a black dress coming down a spiral staircase. When she joins them Sam says "Well I'd say it's more Grant Wood than Grandma Moses. But you knew that, you just wanted to see if I did." The woman said "Guilty and clumsy, I'm Sarah Blake." Sam says "I'm Sam, this is my brother Dean and his girlfriend Sarah." Sarah then looks at Sam and she says "So, can I help you with something?" Sam Said "Yeah, actually. What can you tell us about the Telesca estate?" Sarah said "The whole thing's pretty grisly if you ask me, selling your things this soon. But Dad's right about one thing, sensationalism brings out the crowds. Even the rich ones." Sam asked "Is it possible to see the provenances?" Blake come up from behind and he said "I'm afraid there isn't any chance of that." Sarah M asked "Why not?" Blake said "You're not on the guest list. And I think it's time to leave." Dean putting on his posh voice said "Well we don't have to be told twice." Blake said "Apparently I do." Sam says "Okay. It's all right. We don't want any trouble. We'll go." Dean raises his eyebrows both Sarah M and Dean walk away, Sam and Sarah stare at each other and then Sam joins the other two and Sarah says "Dad, that was rude."

Back at the motel Sarah, Sam and Dean approach the room and Dean said "Grant Wood, Grandma Moses?" Sam says "Art history course. It's good for meeting girls." Dean unlocking the door he says " It's like I don't even know you." The three of them enter the room and is decorated over the top retro 70s disco fantasy room, the three of them paused and look at the room it was one of the best rooms they stayed in and they move into the room, dumping their bags Dean then said "What was...providence?" Sam said "Prov-e-nance. It's a certificate of origin, like a biography. You know we can use them to check the history of the pieces, see if any of them have a freaky past." Sarah then said "I think she might've been interested in you Sam, the way she was staring at you and I could tell being a girl and all i know that look." Sam smirked and then he said "In other words, you want me to use her to get information." Dean said "Sometimes you gotta take one for the team. Call her."

In an upmarket restaurant Sam and Sarah sit at a table and Sam says "Nice Place." Sarah says "Yeah." There was a long awkward pause then Sarah said "Glad you called. Surprised, but glad." Sam said "Yeah?" Sarah looked at Sam and she said "Although you seemed to have a hard time getting out the words "Would you like to have dinner". Sam said "Ahh...yeah. I haven't really been on a date in a while." Sarah said "Welcome to the club." Which surprised Sam and he said " You're kidding me." The waiter came over with the wine list and he said "Here we are. The wine list." Sam looking uncomfortable, flipping pages randomly and then Sarah said to the waiter " I don't know about Romeo here but I'll have a beer." The waiter looked at Sam and asked "And you?" He smiled and said "Make that two."

Sam asked "So you studied art in school huh?" Sarah said "It's true. I was an artist. A terrible terrible artist. And that's why I'm in the auction business. And you were pre-law?" Sam simply said "Yeah." Sarah was curious and asked "But you didn't go to law school. How come?" Sam said "Ahh, that's a really really long story for another time." Sarah said "You're not like any art dealer I've ever met." They both exchange a look and then Sam said "So, what did you mean when you said you haven't been on a date in a while. Trying to make me feel like I'm not such a loser?" Sarah said "I'm sure you're many things Sam. I'm also sure loser isn't one of them." More long looks exchanged, Then sarah said slowly "It was my Mom. She died about a year ago. Totally unexpected. It really threw me. I went into this shell. A nice warm safe shell. But lately I've been thinking. It's not what she would have wanted for me. So...." More long looks and then she asked Sam "So what about you? You're a reasonably attractive guy." Sam laughs embarrassed and then he says "Reasonably?" Sarah said "Why haven't you been out and about?" He thinks for a while, he then looks at her and he loses his smile, thinking some more until Sarah said "A long story for another time." Sam just nods slowly.

Back at the motel Dean is sharpening his blade on a whetstone, Sarah is sitting on the bed doing some research and sam was flicking through some papers and Dean said "So she just handed the providences over to you." Sarah corrected him and said "Provenances." Dean Haltingly said "Provenances?" Sam said "Yes, We went back to her place, I got a copy of the papers..." Dean said "And?" Sam said "And I left nothing happened." Dean said "You didn't have to con her or do any...special favors or anything like that?" Sam said "Dean, would you get your mind out of the gutter, please?" Dean laughed and said "You know when this whole thing's done, we could stick around for a little bit." Sam said "Why?" Sarah said "So you could take her out again. It's obvious you're into her, even I could see that." Sam said "Hey, I think I've got something here." Dean and Sarah goes over to Sam and Sam hands Sarah the papers and she says " "Portrait of Isaiah Merchant's family, painted 1910." Sam says "Now compare the names of the owners with Dad's journal." Dean compares against the journal and he says "First purchased in 1912, Peter Simms. Peter Simms murdered 1912. Same thing in 1945. Oh, same thing in 1970." Sam said "Then stored, until it was donated to a charity auction last month. Where the Telescas bought it. So what do you think, it's haunted? or cursed?" Sarah said "Either way, it's toast."

At the auction house it was night time, The three of them easily get over the meters high gates and sam wearing gloves, disarms the security alarm and Sam says "Go ahead." Dean also wearing gloves picks the lock whilst sarah and sam wait, They shine their flashlights around inside, quickly searching for the painting. Dean spies it upstairs and they sprint up the spiral staircase and sarah followed so whilst she was holding the flashlight dean could use his switchblade and cut out the picture without ripping it. Once they was done they got out and head on a dirt road and whilst both Sam and Sarah M was holding a flashlight dean readies the match stick and he says "Ugly ass thing. If you ask me we're doing the art world a favor." He drops the match and the painting ignites, but what they didn't know was that back at the auction house the picture had reappeared in the frame.

The following morning dean rushed out of the bathroom in a panic and he said "We got a problem -- I can't find my wallet." Sam says whilst both sarah and he continue packing their bags "How is that our problem?" Dean said "'Cause I think I dropped it in the warehouse last night." Sam and Sarah was horrified and said "You're kidding, right?" Dean said "No. It's got my prints, my ID, well my fake ID anyway. We gotta get it before someone else finds it. Come on." The drive to the warehouse and once inside the three of them panicking, started looking around, Dean throws his hands up in the air and continues searching and Sarah appeared and smiles and she said "Hey guys and sarah M!" The three of them spun around then they try to act cool and then Sam says "Sarah! Hey." Sarah says "What are you doing here?" Sam says "Ahh, we.... we are leaving town and, you know, we came to say goodbye." Dean strolling over with Sarah M and he said "What are you talking about Sam, we're sticking around for at least another day or two." Sam looks at Dean confused and then Dean getting out his wallet out of his pocket and looking meaningful at Sam and he says "Oh, Sam by the way I'm gonna go ahead and give you that $20 I owe you." He looks at Sarah and says " I always forget, you know."

Sarah and Dean left them alone and waited outside of the auction house and Sarah said "I hope they do get together, it's been ages since he went on a date, Jessica would want him to move on i know her well enough." Dean said "Yeah it has been awhile i was thinking maybe we could go on a date if you want too." Sarah smiles at him and she says "Yeah i would love to maybe we can once we've finished the job."Back in the auction house it was a little awkward and then Sam said " So..." Sarah said "I had a good time last night." Sam said "Yeah, yeah. I did too." Sarah said "Maybe we should do it again sometime." Sam said "You know. I'd love to, I really would, but Dean, he was just screwing around. We really are taking off today." Sarah was gutted and she said "Oh. Oh. Ah that's too bad." Sam seeing the painting being carried past shouts "OH MY GOD!" Sarah jumped and turning to look she simply says "What?" Sam says "The....that painting....looks so good!" Sarah said "If you can call that monstrosity good, then...yeah, I guess." Sam asked "So...what do you know about that painting?" Sarah said "Not much -- just that it creeps me out. We sold it to the Telescas at a charity auction the night they were murdered." Sam raising his voice says "Yeah, and now you're just going to sell it again?" Sarah says "As much as my Dad wants to, no, I won't let him. I think it'd be in bad taste." Sam said "Good. Yeah. You know what? Don't. Don't. Make sure you don't, okay?" Sarah said "Why? Don't tell me you're interested in that?" Sam said flustered and backing up " No. No, God, no. Not in buying it, no. You know what, I gotta go, I gotta take care of something. But umm, I will call you back...I will call you, I'll see you later." That confused Sarah and she said "Wait, so you're...not leaving tonight?" Sam said "No-o-o, I guess not. I'll see ya." Sarah was still confused and she said " O...kay."

Outside in the impala sam said "I don't understand, Dean, we burned the damn thing." Dean said "Yeah, thank you Captain Obvious. All right, we just need to figure out another way to get rid of it. Any ideas?" Sarah said "Okay, all right. Well, um, in almost all the lore about haunted paintings it's always the painting's subject that haunts 'em." Dean said "Yeah. So we just need to figure out everything there is to know about that creepy-ass family and that creepy-ass painting. What were their names again?" In the second hand book shop Proprietor says "You said the Isaiah Merchant family right?" Sam says "Yeah, that's right." Dean and Sarah approach, Dean smiling and flicking through an old book with picture of guns and the proprietor laying a huge book of newspaper clippings the table and he says "I dug up every scrap of local history I could find. So are you boys and girl crime buffs?" Dean said "Kinda. Yeah. Why do you ask?" He says "Well..." He holds up a newspaper article. The lead story on the front page is "New Titanic Sinks, 1304 People Go To Watery Graves: Only 866 saved from 2,170 Aboard Liner Which Collides With Iceberg. Disaster Proves To Be the Greatest in Marine History of the World." He then points at a side article, It reads 'Father Slaughters Family, Kills Himself'. Sarah said "Yes. Yeah, that sounds about right." Sam asked "The whole family was killed?" Proprietor says "Yeah yeah yeah..."There were whispers that the wife was gonna take the kids and leave." Which of course you know in that day and age, um ....so instead, old man Isaiah...well he gave them all a shave." Then Sarah asked "Does it say what happened to the bodies?" Proprietor says "Just that they were all cremated." Sam asked "Anything else?" Proprietor says "Yeah. Actually I found a picture of the family. It's right here... somewhere. Right -- here it is." It's the picture of the painting and sam asks "Hey, could we get a copy of this please?" Proprietor says "Sure."

At the Auction house, Blake watches as the painting is packed into a moving crate sarah approaching her dad says "Dad! You promised you wouldn't sell that painting." Blake said "I know sweetie, but Evelyn's offered a persuasive amount of money." She said "You're shameless, you know that?" Blake smiling at Sarah and he says "For that sort of money I can afford to be." In the motel room Sarah, Sam and Dean are sitting at the table, Sam says "I'm telling you man, I'm sure of it. The painting at the auction house, Dad is looking down. Painting here, Dad's looking out. The painting has changed, Dean." Dean said "All right, so you think that Daddy dearest is trapped in the painting and is handing out Columbian neckties like he did with his family?" Sarah says "Well yeah, it seems like it. But if his bones are already dusted then how are we gonna stop him?" Dean said "All right, well, if Isaiah's position changed then maybe some other things in the painting changed as well. You know it could give us some clues." Sam said "What, like a Da Vinci Code deal?" Dean gives Sam a blank look and he says "I don't....know. uhh...I'm still waiting for the movie on that one. Anyway, we gotta get back in and see that painting." Sarah gets up from the chair and lays on the bed, Dean joins her and he says to sam "Which is a good thing cause you can get some more time to crush on your girlfriend." Sam wasn't exactly impressed and he said "Dude. Enough already." Dean said "What?" Sam replies "What? Ever since we got here, you been trying to pimp me out to Sarah. Just back off, all right?" Dean said "Well, you like her don't you?"

Sam raises his arms and eyes to the ceiling and Dean says "All right, you like her, she likes you, you're both consenting adults..." Sam was frustrated and raised his voice and he said "What's the point, Dean? We'll just leave. We always leave." Dean said "Well I'm not talking about marriage, Sam." Sarah noticed that sam was getting a bit agitated and she said "What i think dean is trying to say is that maybe Sarah is the right girl for you, i know jess well enough to know that she'd want you to move on, look i feel the same way it's been a while since she passed away and she's pretty cool girl." Dean said "God forbid have fun once in a while. Wouldn't she?" Sam softly said "Yeah I know she would." He half smiles and then he sighs heavily and then he said "Yeah you're right. Part of this is about Jessica. But not the main part." Sarah and Dean looked over at Sam and he said "What's it about?" But Sam refuses to answer and then Dean says "Yeah all right." He and Sarah lies back again and they get cosy and then Dean says "Well we still gotta see that painting, which means you still gotta call Sarah, so..." Sam picks up the phone and he clears his throat, Sam awkwardly said "Sarah, hey, it's Sam. (pause) Hey, hi. (pause) Good. Good, yeah. Umm. What about you?" Dean opened one of his eyes, watching his brother and then he continues and says again "Yeah good, good, really good." Sam said "So, ah, so listen. Me, Sarah and my brother was thinking ...thinking that maybe we'd like to come back in and look at the painting again. I ." He paused and then sam said "I think maybe we are interested in buying it." He paused and then he said "What?" At Sam's tone Sarah and Dean snaps to attention and Sam standing up says "Who'd you sell it to?" They both sat up, listening closely and Sam says "Sarah I need an address right now."

At Evelyn's house it was night time, The Impala roars up and the boys jump out. Sarah appears from the car waiting in the driveway and she asks Sam "Sam what's happening." Sam running passed her says "I told you, you shouldn't have come." Sarah and Dean join Sam and they run up the stairs to the front porch, Dean starts banging on the front door but there was no answer and he says "Hello anyone home?" Sarah said "You said Evelyn might be in danger, what sort of danger?" Dean said "I can't knock this sucker down. I gotta pick it." Dean starts picking the lock of the door as sarah bangs on the window, which was covered with metal security bars and Sarah asked the three of them "What are you, burglars?" Sam said "I wish it was that simple. Look you really should wait in the car. It's for your own good." Dean gets the door, Sarah M and Sam followed him and Sarah said "The hell I will. Evelyn's a friend." She runs in after them and Sam says "Evelyn?" Dean says "Evelyn?" The enter the lounge, Evelyn sits half turned away from them. The painting has changed, Isaiah now looks at his daughter rather than straight ahead Sarah said "Evelyn? It's Sarah Blake....Are you all right?" She reaches for Evelyn's shoulder and Sam urgently said to Sarah "Sarah don't, Sarah!" Evelyn's head tips back, exposing that her slashed throat. Sarah screams and then she says "Oh my God. Oh my God!!" SAM puts his arm around her and shepherds her out of the room.

In the motel room Dean and Sarah M at the bar with the laptop, Sam paces and then there is a knock at the door sam goes and answers it and standing there is sarah and she storms passed Sam and she looks at him and sam asks her "Hey, you all right?" Sarah said "No, actually, I just lied to the cops and told them I went to Evelyn's, alone, and found her like that." Sam says "Thank you." Sarah said "Don't thank me, I'm about to call them right back if you don't tell me what the hell's going on. Who's killing these people?" Sam looks at Sarah and Dean who raises their eyebrows Sam to Sarah "What." Sarah said "What?" Sam says "It's not 'who'. It's 'what' is killing those people." Sarah looks at sam like he's insane sighing sam says "Sarah, you saw that painting move." Sarah feeling agitated says "No...no I was...I was seeing things. It's impossible." Sarah M said "Welcome to our world." Sarah said "Sarah, I know this sounds crazy...but we think that that painting is haunted." Sarah sniggering but with tears in her eyes says "You're joking." She looks at the three of them and they just stare at her and she says "You're not joking. God, the guys I go out with." Sam said "Sarah, think about it. Evelyn, the Telesca's, they both had the painting. And there have been others before that. Wherever this thing goes people die. And we're just trying to stop it. And that's the truth." Sarah takes a deep breath and says "Then I guess you'd better show me. I'm coming with you." Sam said " What? No. Sarah no, you should just go home. This stuff can get dangerous and...and I don't want you to get hurt." Sarah said "Look, you three are probably crazy, but if you're right about this? Well me and my Dad sold that painting that mighta got these people killed. Look I'm not saying I'm not scared because I am scared as hell but...I'm not going to run and hide either." Sarah strides to the door and she turns back and says "So are we going or what?" She walks out and Dean says "Sam?" Sam looks at Sarah and Dean and they are both impressed with Sarah and Dean says "Marry her." Sarah said "Yeah I totally agree, she's the one for you."

It was day time and the four of them was at Evelyn's house and sam is picking the lock and Sarah says "Ahhh... isn't this a crime scene?" Dean said "You've already lied to the cops. What's another infraction?" Once inside Sam lifts the painting down from wall and they examine it, Sarah asked "Aren't you worried that it's...gonna kill us?" Sam says "Nah, it seems to do its thing at night. I think we're all right in the daylight." Dean compares the picture in the book with the painting and he says "Sarah M and Sam, check it out. The razor, it's closed in this one but it's open in that one." Sarah said "What are you three looking for?" Sarah M said "Well if the spirit's changing aspects of the painting then it's doing so for a reason." Sam said "Hey hey look at this. The painting in the painting." Dean says "Looks like a crypt, or a mausoleum or something." Dean looks around, grabs a thick glass ashtray and uses it as a magnifying glass and he reads the name on the top it says "Merchant."

They are in the graveyard Sam, Sarah, Dean and Sarah M walk through the graves and Dean said "This is the third boneyard we've checked. I think this ghost is jerking us around." Sarah said "So this is what you three do for a living?" Sam said "Not exactly. We don't get paid." Sarah said "Well, Mazel tov." Sarah M spying the mausoleum and she says "Over there." Dean breaks the lock and they enter, pushing aside the cobwebs, There is a number of name plates as well as four urns in front of little glass fronted boxes. Sarah looks into one of the cases at a doll, and she says "Okay, that right there -- is the creepiest things I've ever seen." Sam said "It was a... sort of tradition at the time. Whenever a child died sometimes they'd preserve the kid's favorite toy in a glass case, put it next to the headstone or crypt." Then Sarah and Dean notice and then dean says "Notice anything strange?" Sarah said "Ah ... where do I start?" Dean says "No, that's not what I mean. Look at the urns." Sam said "Yeah. There are only four." Sarah M said "Yeah Mom and the three kids. Daddy dearest isn't here." Sam asks "So where is he?"

Outside the office buildings Sam and Sarah sit on a small wall, waiting and Sarah asks "So what exactly is your brother and Sarah M doing in there?" Sam said "Searching county death certificates trying to find out what happened to Isaiah's body." Sarah asked "How'd they even get in the door?" Sam says "Lying and subterfuge mostly." Sam said "You have a...uh....you have an eyelash on your right...no...uh...you know what." Sarah reaches, but has no idea where it is Sam laughing says "Do you mind if I -- get it?" Sarah said "No." Sam reaches for it and holds it on his finger and he says "Okay, I got it. Make a wish." Sarah laughs and she does so and blows it away. She then asked "Sam, can I ask you something?" Sam said "Yeah, sure." Sarah said "I don't mean to be forward, but a girl could wait here forever. Is there something, here, between us? Or am I delusional?" Sam said "You're not delusional." Sarah says "But there's a but coming." Sam said "But... I don't think this would be a good idea." Sam says "Cause I like you." Sarah said "Wait, you lost me." They both laugh and then Sam says "Look, it's hard to explain. Ah--It's just when people are around me -- I don't know, they get hurt." Sarah said "What do you mean?" Sam says "I mean like physically hurt. With what me and my brother do, it's...." He breaths and continues and says "Sarah, I had a girlfriend. And she died. And my Mom died too. I don't know, it's like, it's like I'm cursed or something. Like death just follows me around. Look, I'm not scared of much, but if I let myself have feelings for anybody..." Sarah said "You're scared they'd get hurt too." Sam looks down and says " That's very sweet. And very archaic." Sam looks up and says "Sorry?" Sarah said "Look I'm a big girl Sam, it's not your job to make decisions for me. There's always a chance of getting hurt." Sam said "I'm not talking about a broken heart and a tub of Haagen Dazs. I'm talking about life and death." Sarah said "And tomorrow I could get hit by a bus. That's what life is. Look, I know losing somebody you love -- it's terrible. You shut yourself off. Believe me, I know. But when you shut out pain, you shut out everything else too." Sam said "Sarah, you don't understand. The pain that I went through... I can't go through it again. I can't." Dean and Sarah appear and Dean says " Are we interrupting something?" Sam simply said "No."

Sarah said "Not at all." Sarah M looking between them and says "Huh. Apparently." Sam asked "So what did you two find out?" Dean said "Paydirt. Apparently the surviving relatives of the Merchant family were so ashamed of Isaiah that they didn't want him interred with the rest of the family. So, they handed him over to the county, the county gave him a pauper's funeral. Economy style. Turns out he wasn't cremated; he was buried in a pine box." Sam said "So there are bones to burn."Dean said "There are bones to burn." At the graveyard it was night time, Dean and Sam dig, whilst both Sarah's hold two flashlights Sam crawls out of the grave to stand next to Sarah and she says to Sam "You three seem to be uncomfortably comfortable with this." Sam says "Well, ah, this isn't exactly the first grave we've dug. Still think I'm a catch?" Sam laughs and then Dean says "Think I've got something." Dean cracks open the coffin lid to reveal a body, Sarah pours the salt and Dean the kerosene, Sam and Sarah watches and dean striking a match says "You've been a real pain in the ass Isaiah. Good riddance." He tosses the match into the grave and it goes up.

They all arrived at Evelyn's house, the impala pulls up and Sam opens the passenger door and he says to Dean "Keep the motor running." Sarah said "I thought the painting was harmless now?" Sam said "Better safe than sorry. We're gonna bury the sucker." Sarah gets out of the car decisively and she says "I'm going with you."Sam asks "You sure?" Sarah said "Yeah." Sam and Sarah move inside and stop in front of the painting, looking surprised and Sarah asks "Ahhh, Sam? You're the expert on all this ghost stuff. Is that painting supposed to look like that? Where's the little girl?" Sam said "And the razor." They hear noises and laughter and look around in time to see the front door shutting on them.

Sarah and Dean runs up the stairs and starts shoving at the door. Inside Sam, also runs to the door and yanks on it and sam says "Sarah and Dean is that you two?" Dean says "Sammy, you all right?"Sam pulls out his phone and he rings Dean and he answers and he says "Tell me you slammed the front door." Sam said "Nope, it wasn't me. I think it was the little girl." Dean said "Girl? What girl?" Sam says "Yeah she's out of the painting. I think it might've been her all along." Dean said "Wasn't the Dad looking down at her? Maybe he was trying to warn us." Sam said "Hey hey hey, let's recap later all right? Just get us out of here." Dean says "Well I'm trying to pick the lock, the door won't budge." Sam said "Well, knock it down." Dean said "Okay genius, let me just grab my battering ram." Sam said "Dean, the damn thing is coming." Dean said "Well you're just gonna have to hold it off until I figure something out. Get some salt or iron." Sam grabs Sarah's hand and he says "Come on." Sam rummages through the kitchen drawers, Sarah the lounge cupboards and Sam says "What kind of house doesn't have salt? Low-sodium freaks." He then looks at Sarah and says "Hey, d'you find any iron?" Sarah said "No. What's it for?" Sam says "Iron repels evil spirits but it's gotta be pure. Hurry." He was still on the phone to dean and he said "Uh, Dean, give me a sec, don't go anywhere."Outside Dean and Sarah leaves the front door and starts walking the front porch looking for entrances, Sam says to Sarah "Look in the chair. Sometimes the seats." The lounge doors slam shut, wind blows papers everywhere. The girl appears, dragging her doll along the floor by one foot, a razor in her other hand.

Sarah said "Sam?" Sam backs up and he protects Sarah, the ghost comes closer, moving in an inhuman manner and Sarah is grossed out and she says "That is just so wrong." Sam backs into the fireside implements, grabs the poker. The girl's face shivers and she roars. Sam swings at the ghost. She disappears. Sarah said "Iron?" Sam said "Yeah."Dean said on the phone " Sammy, you okay?" Sam said "Yeah, for now."Dean asks "How we gonna waste her?" Sam said "I don't know, she was already cremated. There's nothing left to burn." Dean said "Then how's she still around?" Sam said "There must be something else." Sarah then said "Sam wait. We used to handle antique dolls at the auction." Sam says "Well that's fascinating Sarah but is it important right now?" Sarah says "Well back then they use to make the dolls in the kids image, I mean everything, they would use the kid's real hair." Sam says to dean over the phone "Dean, Sarah said the doll might have the kid's real hair. Human remains, same as bones."

Sarah M and Dean races the Impala toward the graveyard, driving through the locked gates. Back at the house the wind rises again. Sam raises the poker. A heavy cupboard comes across the room, knocking him over and pinning him on the ground. Sarah runs to help, calling his name. She hears a noise and spins, coming face to face with the ghost, Dean screeches the Impala to a halt and leaps out of the car, running into the mausoleum. He pounds at the glass container, then smashes at it with the butt of his gun but it doesn't break. He turns to run back to the car, gun in hand, then stops and looks down at it and sarah says "Babes shot the gun at the glass." Back at the house Sarah is thrown through the air by the ghost dean grabs the doll, reaches for his lighter, it refuses to light and he says "Come on, Come on."Sarah pulls herself along the floor and pushes herself up against the wall, watching the ghost approach while raising the razor. Sam uses all his strength to push the cupboard slowly away from him and Dean's lighter finally catches and he holds it under the doll's hair. It begins to smoke and then to burn, the ghost raises the razor preparing for a strike and sam shouts "No!" Sam dives to Sarah pulling her out of the way just as the ghost is about to bring the razor down. At the same moment the ghost rears back, burning up. As she burns her figure reappears back in the painting.

Sam and Sarah lay on the floor together, looking around, then at each other back with Sarah and Dean they are both looking at the burnt doll on the floor of the mausoleum, then pulls out his phone. Sam answers and he asks "Sam you good?"Sam said "Not bad." He leans back against the wall next to Sarah, both looking exhausted. It's the following day at the auction house Sarah M and Dean approaches Sam and Sarah where watching the painting be crated up and Dean holding up some paper and says "This was archived in the county records. The Merchant's adopted daughter Melanie. Know why she was up for adoption? 'Cause her real family was murdered in their beds." Sarah said "She killed them?" Sarah M said "Yeah. Who'd suspect her? Sweet little girl. So then she kills Isaiah and his family. The old man takes the blame. His spirit's been trying to warn people ever since." The worker asks "So where's this one go?" Sarah says "Take it out back and burn it." Everyone stops and they look at her and she says "I'm serious guys. Thanks." She then looks at Sarah M, Sam and Dean and says "So why'd the girl do it?" Sam said "Killing others? Killing herself? Some people are just born tortured. So when they die, their spirits are just as dark." Dean said "Maybe. I don't really care. It's over, we move on." Sarah says "Ahh... I guess this means you're leaving." Sarah M says "We'll wait for you in the car Sam, goodbye sarah." As they both walked away Dean said "I'm the one that burned the doll, destroyed the spirit, but don't thank me or anything." Sarah M says "Well i'll thank you later on." They kiss and back at Sam and Sarah she says "There are a million thing I wanna say to you but for the life of me I can't think of one." Sam said "Yeah, I'll miss you too." Sarah says "You know there's a lesson in all of this." Sam said "What's that." Sarah said "We all got through this in one piece. I didn't get hurt." Sam laughed and he said "Yeah I'm glad for that." Sarah said "So, maybe you're not cursed. Maybe.... maybe you'll come back and see me." Sam simply said "I will."

Outside Dean and Sarah are leaning against the car. He watches Sarah letting Sam out closing the door, they both shake their heads, they turn to get into the car. Inside Sarah is leaning against the door she was thinking and looking sad then there was a knock and she opens the door and sees Sam standing there she smiles and he steps inside and they both share a kiss. At the impala Sarah M and Dean are watching and both smiling sarah gets into the car whilst dean says "That's my boy." He gets in and Sam and Sarah continue kissing in the doorway.
