Alright, before I begin the episode, I have some announcements! I apologize to my readers for not posting in a few weeks. I wanted to follow a set pattern of one episode a week, but real life has made it abundantly clear that it will not allow that, so my posting of episodes will be sporadic for a while to come.

Also, the more film-savvy of you may notice that this episode shares its title with John Carpenter's cult classic "Big Trouble In Little China". It is one of my favorite films and this is my homage to it, while also sort of being a sequel in some small way...so let's begin...

TEASER
Fade Up - EXT. San Fransisco, Chinatown, Street - Night
We see San Fransisco's Chinatown in all its oriental splendor. We pan by a bar where several men are walking away laughing and talking in Chinese. Eventually, we pan past them to find a young BARGIRL of Chinese descent. She is arguing with the BARTENDER, possibly the owner, in Chinese as she puts on a brown trenchcoat over her very revealing uniform. Subtitles tell viewers who do not know Chinese what they are saying.

BARGIRL:
No! I'm not going to do that! It's demeaning!

BARTENDER:
You'll get double! Triple your salary! Even more!

BARGIRL:
No! Never! I quit!

She walks off.

BARTENDER:
You'll be back! (laughs) You'll be back!

Cut to - EXT. An Alley - Night
The BARGIRL has put on her trenchcoat completely and has headed off into an alley across from the bar. She walks for a bit before there is suddenly a loud crack and she stops, looking around.

BARGIRL:
(In English) Hello?

Cut to - Her POV
We see nothing as the camera pans across the alley, from left to right and back again.

Cut to - The previous shot
The BARGIRL starts off again, figuring that it must be nothing. She doesn't take three more steps before we hear a feral growl. She again turns around.

BARGIRL:
(In Chinese) Whoever you are, I have a gun!

PAN -
Around the alley for a full three-sixty, eventually coming back to focusing on the BARGIRL. Behind her, is the SILHOUETTE of a man, staring ominously.

Cut to -
A shot from behind the BARGIRL, over her shoulder. As if sensing that something is there, she looks back toward the camera.

Cut to -
The face of a terrible, dog-like creature with blood red eyes. Drool seeps from between its massive incisors as it issues a blood curdling roar.

Series Title Card.

Fade to Black.

ACT ONE
Fade Up - INT. The Impala - Day
We fade up on JO, lying in the backseat with a pillow tucked over her head. It soon becomes apparent why she is doing this when the music fades in.

Music: "Holiday in Cambodia" - The Dead Kennedys

DEAN is singing along and failing miserably in staying in tune. The camera pans forward from JO to show that SAM is sitting in the passenger seat, reading and trying his best to ignore DEAN. DEAN, on the other hand, is driving and is thumping his hands against the steering wheel in time with the drum beat.

DEAN:
(singing, off-key) "It's a holiday in Cambodia...it's tough, but it's life...it's a holiday in Cambodia...don't forget to pack a wife!"

He is about to continue when he suddenly stops and turns off the radio.

JO:
Oh, thank Christ...

DEAN:
(waving a free hand at her) Shut up a minute...

He listens and hears again what we did not hear before, a ringtone.

DEAN:
Sam, the glovebox...

SAM reaches over quickly and opens the glovebox, producing JOHN's old phone.

Cut to - DEAN's POV
DEAN reads the screen, showing "Unlisted Number". Quickly, though with great care, he opens it.

DEAN:
Hello? (a pause) Yes, this is Buck Dharma, who is this? (a long pause, then) Wait a minute, Jack! (he laughs) Oh, how the hell have you been, man? (a pause) Yeah, we'll be right up there, man. (a pause) Yeah, no worries...see you in about two hours...

He hangs up and tosses the phone back to SAM, who catches it.

SAM:
Who was that?

DEAN:
Old buddy of Dad's...he needs some help with a hunt he's on...

He reaches over to the radio.

Cut to -
JO, who puts the pillow back over her ears, grimacing.

Cut to - EXT. The Impala - Day
We see the Impala do a one-eighty in the middle of the road before heading in the opposite direction.

The music resumes as we get a few tracking shots of the Impala before...

Cut to - EXT. Chinatown, A Parking Lot - Day
It is raining as the Impala pulls into the parking lot of a restaurant. The camera pans up to reveal a neon sign declaring it as the "Black Dragon Buffet and Sushi Bar".

Cut to - INT. The Black Dragon - Day
The door opens and SAM, DEAN, and JO enter, rain soaked.

SAM:
(to DEAN) You sure that this is the place?

DEAN:
Jack said to meet him at the Black Dragon Buffet, so we're here...

JO:
And how do we know you aren't just thinking with your stomach?

MAN's VOICE: (OS)
Because occasionally, John Winchester's kids get the job done.

Cut to -
A shot from the floor panning up of a man in his mid- to late 50s, though in physical condition for a man half his age, wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white wifebeater. This is JACK.

Cut to -
DEAN, approaching.

DEAN:
Damn, man! It's good to see you!

They share a hearty handshake and a manly back-pat.

JACK:
Yeah, kid. How long's it been? Three or four years?

DEAN:
Uh...five. Yeah, about five years back. Sam was still back at college.

JACK:
Right. (looks to SAM) So this is your brother, huh?

SAM:
Yeah, I'm Sam.

JACK:
(shaking his hand) Jack. Jack Burton. (looking over and seeing JO) And you are? I didn't know John had a daughter...

DEAN:
Umm...he didn't?

JO:
Yeah, seriously. Where'd you get that idea from?

JACK:
My apologies. And you are?

JO:
Jo. Jo Harvelle.

JACK:
(his features harden for the first time, he actually looks serious) I heard about your mother. I'm sorry...

JO: (looking away, pained)
Yeah...thanks...

DEAN:
So, anyway, I assume you had some reason for coming here other than to reminiscence.

JACK:
Yeah, I did.

Cut to - INT. The Black Dragon, Back Room - Day
Rain is falling outside as the four are gathered around a table. JACK has a map out with several locations marked.

JACK:
There have been a rash of disapperances all over Chinatown (he points to a few of the spots), all of them female.

DEAN:
Humans aren't our job.

JACK:
It's not human, I've checked. Unless you know any humans that can tear through reinforced concrete...

DEAN:
Possessed people can.

JACK:
Yeah, but there would've been blood all over, or, at least, sulfur.

SAM:
So demons are out.

JACK:
I'm beginning to think that it's something a little more local.

JO:
Something from Chinese lore?

JACK:
Maybe a gui.

DEAN:
A what?

SAM:
Spirits who haven't passed on and haunt their descendents.

JACK:
Well, I've checked the victims and I haven't found any connection between them except for two factors.

DEAN:
And those are?

JACK:
They're all female and all of them have green eyes.

SAM:
Chinese girls don't have green eyes.

JACK:
Yeah, it's pretty rare, but it does happen every so often.

JO:
And how many disappearances have their been?

JACK:
Six, in all.

DEAN:
Okay, so we go and comb the hell out of the hot spots for anything we can find.

JACK:
I already did. (he reaches into his pocket and produces a vial containing a single hair) I had a friend run some DNA tests on it, they said it was from some kind of bear, but the DNA was messed up beyond reason.

DEAN:
Okay...so we're looking for some Chinese bear thing?

JACK:
Yeah. So I suggest we head out. Dean, you and I can got check out the spots where the girls disappeared.

SAM:
So Jo and I are just gonna sit here with our thumbs up our butts, huh?

JACK:
Aren't you the research type? (SAM looks offended) Sorry, chief...

He steps out. DEAN shrugs, then follows.

JO:
You gonna stand for that?

SAM:
May as well...no point in arguing...

He shrugs and heads off to grab some books out of the Impala.

Fade to Black.

ACT TWO
Fade Up - EXT. The Alley - Day
We see the alley from the teaser. DEAN and JACK walk down it.

JACK:
So this is where the latest disappearance took place.

DEAN:
I don't get it, Jack. If there's no body, then what can we be looking for here?

JACK:
Anything that don't belong.

They stop about where the BARGIRL was kidnapped by the creature.

Cut to -
A off-shoot from the alley. There is a man dressed in traditional Chinese robes, he is LO PAN.

LO PAN: (speaking to someone offscreen)
Kill the boy...bring me the older one...

There is a sound like the creature made in the teaser and LO PAN smiles.

Cut to -
A shot of DEAN and JACK, scavenging around the alley.

Cut to -
A close up of DEAN. Suddenly, we hear the sound of a gun's safety catch clicking.

DEAN:
Please tell me that that's a gun...

WOMAN's VOICE: (OS)
Get your hands where I can see them.

The camera pans back to show a young woman in a police uniform, wielding a glock pointed at the back of DEAN's head.

POLICEWOMAN:
Alright, just take it nice and slow...you have the right to remain-

JACK: (interrupts)
Jill, he's with me...

The POLICEWOMAN, upon seeing JACK, backs away and holsters her gun. She, as mentioned before, is JILL.

JILL:
What are you doing here, Mr. Burton?

JACK:
I could ask you the same thing, Lieutenant Liang.

JILL:
Call it a hunch, but I figured nosing around here might turn up something.

DEAN:
Sorry, you two know each other?

JACK:
More or less...she's the daughter of an old friend of mine.

JILL:
That still doesn't explain what you're doing here.

JACK:
We don't have to say a thing without a lawyer present.

JILL:
(sighs, then smiles a bit) Ah, well...like any lawyer in Chinatown would represent you.

DEAN:
So you're investigating the disappearances?

JILL:
No, not officially.

JACK:
Well, we haven't found anything, but...

Suddenly, a roar breaks their conversation as we see the creature from the TEASER in full. It appears to be some kind of ape with the face of a feral dog. It leaps down from the roof of a nearby building and down into the alley.

Cut to -
JILL, aiming her gun and take some shots at the creature. JACK's eyes get wide when he sees it. He grabs JILL's arm to lower the gun and looks to DEAN.

JACK:
Let's get the hell out of here!

They begin to run.

Cut to - The Creature's POV
We see a sonar-like vision as the creature follows JACK, JILL, and DEAN based on the sound of their footsteps alone.

Cut to - EXT. Chinatown, Streets - Day
JACK, JILL, and DEAN escape into the streets, into a crowd of people. When they stop and JACK finally looks back, the creautre is no longer pursuing them.

DEAN: (breathing hard)
What the hell is that thing?

JACK:
I'll show you...

He starts back toward wherever the vehicle they took is parked.

Cut to - INT. The Black Dragon - Day
SAM has set out books all across three tables and is looking through them. JO sits nearby, looking bored at a book.

SAM:
You could have gone with them if you wanted...

JO:
I didn't want to play the third-wheel...

SAM:
(a beat) Isn't that what you're doing running around with -

JO:
(interrupting, with a warning glance) If you finish that sentence, you'll be doing it with you vocal chords in your hand...

She looks back to the book. SAM visibly glups. Suddenly, his phone rings and he picks it up.

SAM:
Hello?

DEAN: (over the phone)
Sam, go out and rent "Gremlins".

SAM: (confused)
Isn't it a little early to be planning movie night?

DEAN:
No, someone's been feeding Gizmo after midnight...

Suddenly, there is a sound as though the phone is switching users. Then, JACK speaks.

JACK: (over the phone)
Sam, it's Jack.

SAM:
Yeah, I know who you are.

JACK:
Great. I have a book on Chinese mythology in the backroom, you need to grab it.

SAM: (getting up)
Okay, what am I looking for?

JACK:
Yao Guai...

He hangs up, leaving SAM looking a bit confused.

Fade to Black.

ACT THREE
Fade Up - INT. The Black Dragon - Day
DEAN, JO, JILL, SAM, and JACK are gathered around the table. SAM sits, reading from one of the books.

SAM: (reading)
Yao Guai. A Chinese words that literally translates to 'monster'.

DEAN:
So, it's a demon bear thing?

JILL:
Sort of...

SAM: (reading)
Also a staple of Japanese folklore, Yao Guai are spirits or monsters known for their great strength and agility.

DEAN:
So it's a demon ghost bear thing?

JACK:
No, it's corporeal.

SAM: (reading)
Yao Guai prey on the souls of the living...

DEAN:
Anyway to kill it?

SAM:
It says to shoot it between the eyes with silver.

DEAN:
Chinese werewolf, then? (claps his hands together) Excellent...

JACK:
I'm afraid it's a little more complicated than that. Keep reading...

SAM: (reading)
Yao Guai in lore are a creation of Shin Dai, the Chinese God of the East. They are most often conjured and employed by his servants.

JILL:
That can't possibly mean...

JACK:
I'm afraid so.

JO:
Would anyone like to fill us in?

JACK:
Lo Pan.

JILL:
No, c'mon...that guy's just an urban legend! A myth!

SAM:
Lo Pan?

JACK:
A Chinese sorcerer who tried to take over all of China in the distant past. The first emperor of China killed Lo Pan and cursed him to walk the earth as a wandering spirit.

DEAN:
How the hell do you know that?

JACK:
I met him before. More than twenty years ago...I thought that he was dead. (sighs) I guess I was wrong.

SAM:
So...I don't get it, why is he kidnapping women?

JACK:
Green-eyed women...green eyes are incredibly uncommon among the Chinese, so the Emperor cursed Lo Pan to exist in agony as a spirit until he could marry a girl with green eyes, and then sacrifice her.

DEAN:
Who the hell came up with that plan?

SAM:
The first emperor of China, apparently.

JO:
Why is it such a big deal if this guy gets hitched?

JACK:
Well...first off, the guy's pure evil...second, if he gets his body back, he'll either destroy the world or cast it into eternal darkness and rule it forever, and I don't have a third one, but I guess I've convinced you by now...

DEAN: (gets up)
So let's get out there and kill the son of a bitch...

JACK:
It's not that simple, Dean. Lo Pan's probably hiding out, and it'll be almost impossible to find him unless he wants to be found.

Cut to -
The front door, opening. Four GOONS in black suits and wearing sunglasses enter.

GOON #1: (heavily-accented English)
Jack Burton.

JACK: (turning to face them)
Ah...speak of the devil...

GOON #1:
You and your friends will need to come with us, now...

We get a shot of the hunters, getting ready for a brawl.

Cut to - INT. A Cell - Day
CLOSE UP on DEAN, chained up against a metal wall. The camera pans back, showing JACK and SAM, also tied up.

DEAN:
That could have gone better...

SAM glares at him.

Fade to Black.

ACT FOUR
Fade Up - INT. A White Room - Day
We see a plain, white room with Chinese characters criss-crossing the walls. On two small beds in the room lie JO and JILL, both of whom have been changed out of their clothing and are now wearing white robes. JO awakes, looking around.

JO:
Where the-? What? (She rubs her head, looks over and sees JILL) Jill! Are you okay? (When she gets no reply) Jill, wake up!

LO PAN: (OS)
She will not wake...

JO looks over to see LO PAN, standing nearby.

JO:
Lo Pan, I presume.

LO PAN:
Quite correct, Jo Harvelle...

JO:
How do you know my name?

LO PAN:
I listen...and I need your help, Joanna.

JO:
I really get the feeling that I don't want to help you.

LO PAN:
Perhaps your perspective will change when I tell you the rest.

JO:
I really doubt that. Nearly been raped by a ghost before, didn't really enjoy it.

LO PAN:
Ghost? No, child...I am as alive as you are...

JO:
Really? (raises her hand, puts it through LO PAN, proving that he is a ghost) Yeah, you're alive...

LO PAN:
I am...all I need to do is marry young Jill...

He glides over toward JILL, his fingers going through her.

JO:
Why is she so special?

LO PAN:
The green eyes...the eyes like creamy jade...

JO:
Wait...green eyes...you have to kill her.

LO PAN:
No choice, I am afraid...I must marry her to appease my god and then sacrifice her to appease the Emperor, and then...I will be flesh!

JO:
That's never going to happen.

LO PAN:
And why is that?

JO:
Because Sam and Dean are going to kick your ass!

LO PAN:
I doubt they will be able to do that chained up...

JO:
But-

LO PAN: (Interrupting)
Enough...

Close Up -
JO's eyes. As LO PAN waves his hand, they go stark white as though she is in a trance.

Cut to -
LO PAN, gesturing to a door.

LO PAN: (to someone offscreen)
Prepare the bridesmaid....

JO walks slowly toward several people who appear to be nothing more than silhouettes.

Cut to -
JILL, as LO PAN walks over to her.

LO PAN:
Soon, my love...very soon...

Cut to - INT. A Cell - Day
DEAN, JACK, and SAM are chained up in their cell.

DEAN:
We've got to get out of here...

JACK suddenly drops his arms and the chains seem to unlock before hand and fall off of him.

SAM:
What?!

JACK:
For the record, I could have done that at any time. (a beat, he gets up) So now, we have to find Jo and Jill.

DEAN:
Yeah...what exactly does Lo Pan want with Jo?

SAM:
What do you mean?

DEAN:
Well, apparently he's gotta get hitched to a green eyed chick, and last count, Jo's eyes weren't green.

JACK:
I don't know, but it's likely not to be a good thing.

SAM:
So we get out of here, and then what?

JACK:
Then, we crash the wedding...

DEAN:
How do you know it's going to be now?

JACK:
Because Lo Pan only has a limited time that he can marry and sacrifice Jill...(when SAM and DEAN give him funny looks) Trust me, he tried this twenty years ago...

SAM:
If you faced this guy twenty years ago and finished him off, how is he back now?

JACK:
A piece of him survived...that has to be destroyed before he can truly die...

DEAN:
Well, thanks for the comforting thoughts, Dumbledore, so what is it?

JACK:
The item? No idea...

DEAN:
My, we're just full of comforting thoughts today, aren't we?

JACK:
Look, Dean! Arguing isn't going to get us anywhere...

SAM:
Uh, guys-

JACK:
This ain't a regular hunt, Dean, the entire world is going to be destroyed if he gets his body back...

SAM:
Uh, guys-

DEAN:
Really, you gonna give the end of the world speech? Because I've heard that crap all the time in the past four years, and not a damn thing has come out of it!

SAM: (loudly)
Guys!

Their attention is drawn to SAM, then to the sound of the door being opened.

JACK:
Whatever comes through that door, take it down and let's get out of here!

The door opens and one of the men in black, ninja-esque garb enters the room. JACK and DEAN jump him.

Fade to Black.

ACT FIVE
Fade Up - INT. A Large Room - Day
We enter into what appears to be a large antechamber. LO PAN is there, standing by a massive statue of Buddha. He is examining it.

LO PAN:
This wasn't restored well...

A black garbed SERVANT, similar to the one that attacked SAM, DEAN, and JACK in the previous Act steps forward.

SERVANT:
My liege...

LO PAN:
Yes?

SERVANT:
Jack Burton and his friends have escaped...

LO PAN:
(waving his hand dismissively) It is of no concern...soon I will be wed and the girl will be sacrificed...then I will finish them off. Bring me the girl...and her bridesmaid...

The SERVANT runs off with several others.

Cut to - INT. The Corridors - Day
SAM, DEAN, and JACK have escaped their cell and are heading through the corridor.

DEAN:
We need to find Jo and Jill...

JACK:
We need to find something to fight with.

SAM:
We've got weapons back at the Impala.

JACK:
(shakes his head) Most of Lo Pan's servants can be killed by regular bullets. Those that can't can usually be slowed by them...

DEAN: (surprised)
Huh...something supernatural that can die normal...what do you know...

SAM:
So we need to find some weapons...

DEAN: (holding up a handgun)
Been working on that.

SAM:
Where'd you get that?

DEAN:
Our guard was carrying it.

SAM:
Where?

DEAN:
You don't wanna know...(he checks the magazine, then pushes the clip back into the gun) Locked and loaded...

JACK: (OS)
Guys, c'mon...

They see JACK heading toward a door, which he opens into a darkened room. He looks back to them.

JACK:
I have an idea...

Cut to - The Antechamber - Day
We got back to the chamber to see that several more of LO PAN's ninja servants have gathered and now stand in neat and orderly ranks before the statue. LO PAN stands on the stage, along with a hypnotized JO and JILL. LO PAN's Yao Guai is crouched nearby, watching its master.

LO PAN:
Now, my servants...watch as I appease my Emperor...bridesmaid, the needle...

JO, still in her trance, moves forward and hands a long, thin needle to LO PAN. Somehow he gets a hold of it and jabs JILL in the arm. Strangely, the blood that should be coming out of JILL's arm is coming out of LO PAN's. He laughs gleefully.

Cut to -
The rows of henchmen, we see DEAN, JACK, and SAM's eyes from beneath the hoods.

DEAN: (whispering)
We have to stop him!

JACK: (whispering)
Not until he's mortal! We can't do it until he's mortal!

DEAN: (whispering)
I've seen too many hot chicks killed by ghosts! Let's just bump him off now!

JACK: (whispering)
We can't! It'll be like shooting at air!

Cut to -
LO PAN, pulling the needle away, his arm dripping with blood.

LO PAN: (laughs)
I am flesh!

He breaks into a loud, maniacal laugh, then suddenly stops as he turned to the crowd.

Cut to -
DEAN, pulling out the handgun and taking a shot.

Cut to -
LO PAN, casually waving his hand and forcing one of his henchmen to take the bullet for him. His body falls to the ground.

CLOSE UP -
LO PAN's face, twisted into a sneer of disgust.

LO PAN:
Kill them!

Cut to -
DEAN, JACK, and SAM, surrounded by LO PAN's servants.

DEAN:
Okay, so we lost our last fight with these punks...but that doesn't mean we can't take them on this time...

SAM:
Yeah, thanks for the encouraging thoughts, Dean...

DEAN:
Just trying to spread the fun around.

Cut to -
The ninjas all pulling out weaponry of some sort, whether it be a knife or nun-chucks or something else fitting the theme.

DEAN:
(raising the handgun) Don't even think about it! I've still got plenty of shots left!

Suddenly, one of the servants moves forward and slices the gun, cutting the barrel clear off.

DEAN:
(staring in shock, then tossing the gun away and raising his fists) Great...

Cut to -
JO. Suddenly, she is broken from her trance by the sound of the fight. After realizing the ridiculous outfit she is wearing, she looks to see JILL being dragged off by LO PAN. As she moves forward, a few of LO PAN's henchmen leap onto the stage, blocking her from pursuing them, and she raises her fists for a fight.

Cut to -
DEAN, SAM, and JACK fighting off henchmen.

Cut to -
DEAN, ducking one and letting him leap into another one. He whips around and kicks another one in the groin.

Cut to -
JACK, who has gotten a hold of a katana and is fighting with three swordsmen.

Cut to -
SAM, who is now back-to-back with DEAN as they fight off henchmen.

Cut to - INT. Another Room - Day
We see LO PAN holding JILL against a wall.

JILL:
Let me go...

LO PAN:
It's not my choice. If I willed it, you would live, but you must die...

JO: (OS)
Hey!

Cut to -
JO, standing in the door that leads back into the antechamber. She is covered in blood.

JO:
Nobody puts me in a dress and lives!

Cut to -
DEAN and SAM, fighting off henchmen. Suddenly, several of the henchmen back away.

SAM:
What the-?

Suddenly, there is a bloodthirsty roar.

DEAN:
Son of a-

Before DEAN can finish, the Yao Guai jumps him. The two struggle on the floor.

DEAN: (yelling)
Sam! Kill it!

SAM:
With what?!

DEAN: (yelling, struggling)
Knife! Gun! Freakin' shoe polish! Just get something and bash its head in! Now!

Cut to -
JACK, having run his sword through another henchmen. He looks back and jumps, leaping over several of the henchmen to put his katana through the Yao Guai.

Cut to -
DEAN's POV. The creature's eyes bug out as it gags and dies. DEAN struggles to get it off of him.

DEAN: (struggling)
A little help?

JACK: (pulls the katana out of the creature's corpse)
On your own time, Dean...

DEAN:
You suck so much right now...

Cut to - INT. The Other Room - Day
LO PAN holds JILL against the wall, holding the knife he means to kill her with in his other hand.

LO PAN: (to JO)
You will obey me...

JO:
Yeah, I don't think so...

LO PAN: (dropping the knife and raising his hand to her)
Stop!

JO: (still approaching)
No...

Given the distraction, JILL takes a moment to kick LO PAN in the groin, making him release his grip on her throat and letting her go. She tries to scuttle away as he recovers.

LO PAN:
Damn you! I will not go back to being a wandering spirit! This world and all its flesh will be mine!

JACK: (OS)
Hey!

Cut to -
JACK, tossing his knife at LO PAN.

Cut to -
LO PAN, reflexively catching it.

LO PAN:
Goodbye, Mr. Burton...

Cut to -
LO PAN, throwing it back.

Cut to -
JACK, reflexively catching it and throwing it back at LO PAN.

Cut to -
LO PAN, catching it.

LO PAN:
(snickers) You didn't think that would work twice, did you?

JO: (OS)
Hey!

Suddenly, LO PAN's knife comes through his chest. His eyes bug out and he starts gagging as the blade comes through his robes. We see JO holding the knife that he was using before, tearing through the sorcerer.

JO:
Should've looked behind you, dumbass...

She forcefully yanks the knife out of his chest, causing LO PAN to tumble over onto his chest, lying still.

Cut to -
SAM and DEAN entering.

SAM: (panting as if stressed)
Is he dead?

JACK:
We need to find the artifact that's keeping him tethered here...

JO:
I don't think it's this, is it?

CLOSE UP -
JO rolls over LO PAN and we see the black gem in his headdress.

Cut to -
JACK.

JACK:
Smash it!

Cut to -
JO, stomping her foot down on it. There is a visible energy discharge as the gem shatters, knocking her back.

When the light fades, DEAN runs over to her.

DEAN:
You okay?

JO:
Yeah...

DEAN helps her up.

Cut to -
JACK, helping JILL to her feet.

JACK:
You okay?

JILL:
(shaking him off) Yeah, yeah, I'm fine...

Cut to -
SAM, looking down at the body.

SAM:
Guys, check it out...

We see LO PAN's body begin to dissolve into dust and blow away in the wind, leaving the broken crown and the robes he once wore there.

JACK:
I think we should get out of here...

They all head out as quickly as possible.

Cut to - INT. The Black Dragon - Day
They are all back at the Black Dragon. JO and JILL have redressed in their normal attire.

JO:
So what if somebody finds all that down there?

JACK:
I thought of that, (he looks to JILL) And thanks to some friends I have in the San Fransisco Police Department, I'm pretty sure that place will be filled in within a few days.

DEAN: (laughs)
Ah...just like with Philadelphia.

JILL:
You guys sure you don't want to stay? I'm sure Jack could use all the help he can get.

JACK:
Hey! I do just fine!

DEAN:
Well, we'd like to, but we've got our own battles to fight...y'know?

JACK:
Yeah, I guess, kid...

He and DEAN share a manly back patting. Then JACK turns to SAM.

JACK: (offering his hand for a shake)
Good to meet you finally, Sam...

SAM: (shaking his hand)
And you...

JACK turns to JO.

JACK:
Jo Harvelle, it's been a pleasure...

He takes her hand and kisses the back of it in a very gentlemanly manner before stepping back. JO looks stunned and blushes a bit.

JILL:
Goodbye to you all...

DEAN, SAM, and JO depart.

Cut to - EXT. The Impala - Day
The three of them head to the car.

SAM:
Well, back to Lucifer and the war against Heaven and Hell, huh?

DEAN:
Yeah, looks that way...

JO:
We can do it. I think we can.

SAM:
You seem optimistic.

JO:
Yeah! I just took out a sorcerer! I mean, that was pretty badass!

DEAN:
Oh, please! Had Jack not distracted the guy you'd been dogmeat!

JO:
(scoffs) Yeah, Dean...thanks for raining on the parade...

She opens the door and gets into the backseat of the Impala.

Cut to -
SAM, giving DEAN a look.

DEAN:
What?

SAM: (shaking his head)
Unbelievable.

DEAN:
What?!

SAM: (shaking his head)
Nothing, Dean...forget it. It's Chinatown...

SAM opens the passenger side door and gets in, closing it behind him. DEAN stands there, considering his words. After a few seconds, he shrugs and gets into the car. The driver's side door closes and the engine cranks into life before they pull out of the parking space and drive off.

End Credits.
