A noise comes from a room they are passing. Dean immediately raises his shotgun and Sam flicks on the torch and shines it into the room.
They approach a metal bed covered in a ragged sheet, on its side. They see the top of a blonde head behind it. They brace themselves, SAM reaches and tips the bed over.
The girl from earlier is crouched facing the corner. She spins around, terrified and gasping.

They turn to look at each other, realise they're too far apart to be touching and look down. A disembodied hand is clutching KAT's arm.
KAT is dragged into a room, the metal door slamming behind her. DEAN races to it and struggles to pull it open, KAT bangs on it from the inside but it doesn't budge.

DEAN smashes at the door with a metal pipe, then tries to jimmy it open. Inside, KAT slowly backs up, looking at the door. Someone stands behind her, breathing heavily. When KAT spins around there is no one there. DEAN continues banging on the door. KAT turns again and sees the ghost. Tall, heavyset, long dark oily hair, his face a bloody mess. KAT screams and backs up to the door...and backs into him. She screams again.

DEAN moves down a hallway and shines his torch on room 137. He pushes against the door, using his weight to push aside the broken furniture blocking it. The room is a mess, filing cabinets pushed over, papers everywhere, the walls stained. He shines the torch around, flicks through some folders laying in a cabinet, keeps looking.

SAM marches down a hallway and tries the door but it's locked. He tries another one, also locked.

His flashlight flickers and fades, he shakes and taps it. A door behind him swings open. He raises his shot gun and approaches carefully.
SAM
Dean?
Dean?
A shadow moves behind a ragged curtain, drawing his attention. When he pulls the curtain back there's no one there. He turns....and an old beaten up man with ragged hair and clothes grabs his face. His hands start glowing.
MAN

But it was the patients who rioted.
DEAN
Yeah. They were rioting against Dr.Ellicott. Dr. Feelgood was working on some sort of, like, extreme rage therapy. He thought that if he could get his patients to vent their anger then they would be cured of it. Instead it only made them worse and worse and angrier and angrier. So I'm thinking what if his spirit is doing the same thing? To the cop? To the kids in the 70s, making them so anrgy they become homicidal.... Come on, we gotta find his bones and torch em.

You hate me that much. You think you could kill your own brother? Then go ahead. Pull the trigger. Do it!
SAM pulls the trigger. The chamber is empty. He tries again, and once more. DEAN uses a right cross to knock SAM to the ground and struggles to get up.
DEAN

SAM stares up at him. DEAN delivers a vicious right cross to knock SAM out, almost falling as he does so.
DEAN
(Patting his brother) Sorry Sammy.
(Patting his brother) Sorry Sammy.
DEAN begins looking around the room, pushing back ragged curtains with his pistol. Dr. Ellicott glides passed but DEAN doesn't notice. He see's a tuft of something poking out of the corner of a closed cupboard and moves closer. He opens the door to find a mummified corpse and flinches back from the smell, gagging.
DEAN
Oh that's just gross.
Oh that's just gross.
DEAN
(Salting the body) Soak it up
(Salting the body) Soak it up
Dean drops the salt container and grabs a small tin of kerosene, squirting the body. In the background his torch flicker, unnoticed. A gurney comes flying across the room and knocks him to the ground. Dr. Ellicott grabs his face and his hands light up.
ELLICOTT
Don't be afraid. I'm going to help you. I'm going to make you all better.
Don't be afraid. I'm going to help you. I'm going to make you all better.
Dean struggles to reach his bag with one hand, finding his lighter, flicking it on and tossing it at the mummified body. ELLICOTT lets go of DEAN as his remains start to burn. DEAN crawls out of the way and watches as ELLICOTT's ghost turns black and falls to the ground, crumbling on impact.
SAM wakes up and DEAN looks over at him as he flexes his jaw painfully.
DEAN
You're not going to try and kill me are ya?
