TEASER<br>
[“SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES” by AC/DC is playing]<br>
[EXT. ROAD – NIGHT]<br>
[We see the IMPALA speeding down the highway.]<br>
[INT. IMPALA – NIGHT]<br>
[SAM is driving. He turns the stereo off. The music stops. He keeps driving in the night.]<br>
[INT. ROOM – MORNING]<br>
[A man, JAMIL, is resting on his bed. He wakes up, stops the music on his phone and lazily throws it away.]<br>
[INT. ROOM – LATER]<br>
[Jamil is getting ready to pray. He speaks Arabic.]<br>
JAMIL<br>
(in Arabic)<br>
Glorified be you, all praise is yours, perfect is your name, most high is your majesty and greatness. None has the right to be worshipped but you, the only one God.<br>
[He places his knees, hands and hands on the floor.]<br>
JAMIL<br>
(in Arabic)<br>
Glorified be my God, the highest. Glorified be my God, the highest. Glorified be my God, the highest. <br>
[Jamil looks up. In front of him, MICHAEL is sitting on a chair and staring down at him, wearing DEAN’s vessel. Jamil falls back, scared.]<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Hello, Jamil.<br>
JAMIL<br>
Who are you?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Oh, we’ve never met. But you’ve read all about me. How does it go?<br>
(in Arabic)<br>
Whoever is an enemy to Allah, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers. <br>
[Michal’s eyes glow BLUE.]<br>
JAMIL<br>
You’re… God?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Close, but… not quite.<br>
JAMIL<br>
Gabriel?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
The other one. The better one.<br>
JAMIL<br>
Michael.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
There we go.<br>
JAMIL<br>
No, no, no, no. Why are you here?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Well, that is the question, isn’t it?<br>
[Michael stands up.]<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Why are we here. I know why I’m here to ask you a question.<br>
JAMIL<br>
What question?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
The same question I’ve spent weeks traveling around this world asking all sorts of people. Holy men, leaders, killers. And now I come to you, Jamil Hamed. (pause) What do you want?<br>
JAMIL<br>
What?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Do you want? Exactly. If you could have anything, name it. <br>
JAMIL<br>
Peace. And love.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
If you cared about peace, you never would have left Syria. You never would have ran and abandoned your friends to die – and they did die. <br>
JAMIL<br>
No.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
And if you cared about love, you never would have gone into that broom closet with – What was her name? <br>
JAMIL<br>
(breathing shakily)<br>
No.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Darlene? Your wife would have never left and you wouldn’t be living in this... rat hole. <br>
[Jamil tries to attack Michael, who throws him on the floor without even moving.]<br>
MICHAEL<br>
And that’s the problem with you. You’re lost... And not worth saving. <br>
JAMIL<br>
Wha—what—what do you want?<br>
MICHAEL<br>
What I always wanted... a better world. <br>

<br>
ACT ONE<br>
[EXT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER – NIGHT]<br>
[Establishing shot.]<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER – NIGHT]<br>
[Survivors from the AU are preparing their weapons. MARY approaches one of them.]<br>
MARY<br>
Hi.<br>
MAN<br>
(pointing at various bullets)<br>
You got silver. Devil’s trap. Holy Oil. <br>
(he grabs a gun)<br>
And these here, they’re dipped in Dean Man’s blood. <br>
[Mary takes the gun and loads it.]<br>
MAN<br>
Basically, you need some freak dead? I got you. <br>
[Mary checks the gun. In front of her a girl, MAGGIE, is helping another survivor with his wounds.]<br>
MAGGIE<br>
A rawhead did this?<br>
MAN #2<br>
Yeah. Outside Phoenix. They’re faster than they look.<br>
[Maggie extracts a fang from the wound.]<br>
MAN #2<br>
Meaner, too.<br>
MAGGIE<br>
So, so gross.<br>
[The door creaks open. A man walks in.]<br>
MAN #3<br>
Soup’s on. Who’s eating?<br>
MAN #2<br>
Right here.<br>
WOMAN<br>
Yeah, I’ll –<br>
[Sam enters the bunker. He walks down the stairs.]<br>
MAN<br>
Yeah, right here. How about you guys?<br>
MAN #2<br>
I’ll have soup. <br>
MARY<br>
Sam.<br>
SAM<br>
Hey, Mom.<br>
[Sam and Mary hug.]<br>
MARY<br>
How was Atlanta?<br>
SAM<br>
It was, uh... It was a bust. The woman who claims she saw an “angel”... was... (he snorts) Let’s just say I think she had one too many hits of the brown acid, you know? <br>
MARY<br>
Sam, we’re gonna find him. Ketch is working that thing in London. Castiel is in Detroit. I know it’s been three weeks since Dean... (pause) Something will break. It has to. <br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. Yeah, you keep saying that.<br>
[Sam yawns.]<br>
MARY<br>
Have you slept? At all. Sam, you need to rest. Go and lay down. <br>
SAM<br>
Mom –<br>
MAN<br>
Chief. <br>
SAM<br>
Hey.<br>
MAN<br>
Good to have you back. <br>
[The man hands Sam a bowl of soup.]<br>
SAM<br>
Thanks.<br>
MAN<br>
Don’t thank me yet. Word is we got some vamps heading East on I-90. Gipsy types. Pickin’ off truckers mostly. <br>
MAN #2<br>
Last body got drained and dropped just outside La Crosse six hours ago.<br>
SAM<br>
Okay. Um... All right. Get me teams of two. I want watch points every 50 miles. If you see something, say something. Maggie, can you hack the traffic cams on the freeway?<br>
MAGGIE<br>
Um... no. <br>
SAM<br>
Right. Right. Of course. Sorry. Um, I got it. Thank you. <br>
[He gives his soup to Mary.]<br>
SAM<br>
Uh, please. Would you call in Sharon and her crew? We’re gonna need all hands on deck here. <br>
MAN #3<br>
Yes, sir.<br>
SAM<br>
Thank you.<br>
[Sam sits down, starts typing on his laptop. Mary approaches him again.]<br>
MARY<br>
Sam -- <br>
SAM<br>
I’m good.<br>
[Mary puts a hand on his. Sam looks at her.]<br>
SAM<br>
I’m good. I am. Hey, how’s Jack?<br>
[INT. JACK’S ROOM - CONTINUOUS]<br>
[JACK falls on his back, groaning. He’s wearing boxing gloves. BOBBY is staring down at him. They are boxing.]<br>
BOBBY<br>
Watch for that left. <br>
JACK<br>
I never had to fight before.<br>
BOBBY<br>
Mm-hmm. Life’s a little different when you can’t just zap people around, huh? <br>
JACK<br>
A lot different. Yeah.<br>
[Bobby helps him get back on his feet.]<br>
BOBBY<br>
You’ll get used to it. Truth be told, this stuff didn’t come all that easy for me, either. Had my ass handed to me more times than I can count. <br>
JACK<br>
But you kept fighting.<br>
BOBBY<br>
You got to. As a wise man once said, “It ain’t how hard ya hit. It’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” <br>
JACK<br>
Was that Gandhi? <br>
BOBBY<br>
Probably. Yeah, somethin’ like that. Yeah. So, what are you gonna do?<br>
JACK<br>
Watch the left.<br>
BOBBY<br>
Attaboy. Attaboy.<br>
[They resume their training. Jack takes Bobby’s hits.]<br>
BOBBY<br>
Ah, that’s it.<br>
[EXT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - NIGHT]<br>
[Establishing shot.]<br>
[INT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - NIGHT]<br>
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]<br>
[The door creaks open. We see a pair of elegant Oxford shoes making their way in, belonging to a man wearing sunglasses and dressed in an elegant way.] <br>
KIPLING<br>
Castiel, darling.<br>
[He walks towards CASTIEL, who is waiting at a table.]<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Oh, God. <br>
[Kipling addresses the BARTENDER.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
Sweetie, fix me a coffee, black, and a Texas Trinity, necked, with some bark. <br>
BARTENDER<br>
Sure.<br>
KIPLING<br>
And for my friend... <br>
CASTIEL<br>
Water.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Water.<br>
BARTENDER<br>
All right.<br>
[Kipling sits down.]<br>
CASTIEL<br>
What did you just order?<br>
KIPLING<br>
Oh, sausage and brisket, pork ribs, no sauce, well done. My apologies for the lingo, but when in Rome...<br>
CASTIEL<br>
I was surprised you wanted to meet here.<br>
KIPLING<br>
I’m surprised you wanted to meet at all. Didn’t think that you consorted with... my kind.<br>
[Kipling removes his sunglasses. His eyes turn black.]<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Yes, well... I need information.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Of course you do.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Does any demon know where Dean Winchester is?<br>
KIPLING<br>
I’m sorry, did you just say you lost a Winchester? Because, one -- that’s... interesting. And, two, how is that you lost Dean? I thought the two of you were joined at the...<br>
[Kipling glances down in a suggestive way.] <br>
...you know, everything.<br>
[The bartender brings them their orders.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
Thank you, darling.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Just answer the question.<br>
KIPLING<br>
You see, I could... (sips his drink) ...except, not to be crass, but what’s in it for moi? <br>
CASTIEL<br>
Your life.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Come again?<br>
CASTIEL<br>
I’ll speak slower...<br>
KIPLING<br>
Mm.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
...and you will tell me everything you know, or I will burn you to ash right here and right now. <br>
KIPLING<br>
I think we can do better.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
We?<br>
[Kipling raises a finger. All the people in the bar stand up. They’re all DEMONS. Castiel stands up.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
We.<br>
[Castiel gets his angel blade out. He tries to fight, but he’s outnumbered.]<br>
<br>
ACT TWO<br>
[EXT. ST. ANTHONY’S HOLY PARYS OF DULUTH - DAY]<br>
[Establishing shot. Camera pans down to a sign: St. Anthony’s Holy Parish of Duluth. WELCOME SISTER JO.]<br>
[Devotees are leaving the Church. A couple stops to talk to SISTER JO.]<br>
MAN<br>
You saved me, Sister.<br>
SISTER JO<br>
Thank you.<br>
WOMAN<br>
God bless you.<br>
SISTER JO<br>
He does, every day.<br>
[EXT. STREET - NIGHT]<br>
[Sister Jo is walking, counting the money she made. Suddenly, a flutter of WINGS.]<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Hey, Jo.<br>
[Sister Jo stops in her tracks. She turns -- it’s Michael.]<br>
SISTER JO<br>
Who are you? <br>
MICHAEL<br>
You don't recognize me with this pretty face? <br>
SISTER JO<br>
You're not -- You're not Dean Winchester. You're... <br>
[Sister Jo sees Michael’s true form.]<br>
SISTER JO<br>
(Inhales sharply) Oh, God.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
People keep calling me that.<br>
[Sister Jo turns to walk away.]<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Ah, ah. We need to talk.<br>
SISTER JO<br>
You're the Archangel Michael, from another world, and you're possessing Dean Winchester.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Sounds more complicated than it is.<br>
SISTER JO<br>
Why would he say “yes” to you? <br>
MICHAEL<br>
Love.<br>
[Michael walks towards Sister Jo.]<br>
SISTER JO<br>
Really? (chuckles) That's very Hallmark Channel. So, I'm just gonna go now.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
No, you're not. Not until I ask you... what do you want? <br>
SISTER JO<br>
I don't know. Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
You think this is a joke? <br>
SISTER JO<br>
I don't know what this is. You asked, I answered. We done? <br>
MICHAEL<br>
No. I asked, and you lied.<br>
SISTER JO<br>
I didn't.<br>
MICHAEL<br>
I know about you, Jo. Because he knew about you. You're the rebel, the angel who doesn't like playing by Heaven's rules or whatever. You pretend to care about these things -- pretty things. But that's all it is -- pretending.<br>
These trinkets, they don't make you happy. They just pass the time. They're not what you really want.<br>
SISTER JO<br>
And if you're so smart, what do I really want? <br>
MICHAEL<br>
Love. To belong, to have a place -- a home, a family. It's very very human of you. And so, so disappointing. <br>
I can sense how many angels are in this world. There aren't many left. I thought... maybe I could help. But if they're all these sad, lost, fallen things -- things like you -- maybe they're not worth saving, either.<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - JACK’S ROOM - DAY]<br>
[Jack is sitting on his bed. A knock comes from the door. It’s Sam. He opens the door.]<br>
SAM<br>
Hey.<br>
JACK<br>
Hey.<br>
SAM<br>
I, uh... chatted with Bobby. <br>
[Sam sits on the bed.]<br>
SAM<br>
He said you may have had a rough day today.<br>
JACK<br>
It was fine.<br>
SAM<br>
Okay. (pause) Jack I know this must be so hard. Without your grace, without your powers, it's a lot, I'm sure. But you can get past this. I know you will. I have faith in you, Jack. And I believe in you.<br>
And -- <br>
[Mary walks in, interrupting them.]<br>
MARY<br>
Hey. Sam, um... he's awake.<br>
SAM<br>
(to Jack)<br>
I have to, uh -- <br>
JACK<br>
I know.<br>
SAM<br>
We'll talk later, all right? <br>
[Jack nods. Sam pats the bed, stands up and leaves with Mary.]<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS]<br>
[Sam and Mary head towards one of the rooms.]<br>
SAM<br>
Did he say anything? <br>
MARY<br>
I didn't talk to him. I can barely look at him.<br>
SAM<br>
Thanks.<br>
[Mary leaves him alone. Sam slowly opens the door.]<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - NICK’S ROOM - CONTINUOUS]<br>
[A MAN is sitting on the bed, his face mostly in shadow. Sam stares at his back for a while, takes a deep and shaky breath, and turns on the lights.]<br>
[The man turns. It’s NICK, Lucifer’s vessel.]<br>
NICK<br>
Oh, hey, Sam.<br>
SAM<br>
Hey... Nick.<br>
[FLASHBACK MONTAGE: Nick in his house right before he was possessed for the first time.]<br>
SARAH/LUCIFER (O.S.)<br>
Nick... Nick... I'm an angel. My name is Lucifer.<br>
[FLASHBACK MONTAGE: we see scenes of Lucifer in Nick’s vessel.]<br>
SARAH/LUCIFER (O.S.)<br>
I need to take control of your mind and your body. Nick, I need you to say yes.<br>
NICK<br>
Then yes.<br>
[END FLASHBACK]<br>
SAM<br>
How'd you sleep? <br>
NICK<br>
Uh, yeah. Um... Okay. I didn't wake up screaming, so that's a plus.<br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. So, no more nightmares?<br>
NICK <br>
They're getting better.<br>
SAM<br>
Good.<br>
[Nick looks at Sam.]<br>
SAM<br>
May I, uh -- May I see it? <br>
[Nick stands up. He unbuttons his shirt. He has a wound where Dean stabbed him. Sam prepares his tools to medicate it.]<br>
SAM<br>
Oh, look at that. Looks like it's healing.<br>
[Nick scratches his wound.]<br>
NICK<br>
Yeah, it itches a lot. Doesn't really, uh -- <br>
[Sam disinfects the wound.]<br>
NICK<br>
-- hurt! Aah! <br>
SAM<br>
Sorry.<br>
NICK<br>
Ow. Ow. I don't get it. I don't understand how Lucifer could die and I could live.<br>
SAM<br>
Yeah, um... I think that maybe it's because the archangel blades were made to kill the archangel inside a-and not the person they, uh --<br>
NICK<br>
Possesses and uses to almost end the world twice?<br>
SAM <br>
Yeah. That.<br>
NICK<br>
It must be weird, you looking at me and seeing him.<br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. (pause) But... I'm really glad it's you. I'm glad Lucifer is dead.<br>
NICK<br>
Me, too.<br>
SAM<br>
You still, uh -- Y-You still remember -- <br>
NICK<br>
Oh, I mean, just little bits and pieces here and there. Nothing -- Nothing about your brother.<br>
SAM<br>
Okay. And, uh, Michael? Did he tell Lucifer anything? Anything about his plan? <br>
NICK<br>
I mean, I remember him saying... he wanted to do it right this time.<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - CORRIDOR - LATER]<br>
[Sam leaves Nick’s room. He closes the door, brings a hand to his forehead. His phone starts buzzing. Sam replies.]<br>
SAM<br>
Hey, Cas.<br>
KIPLING (V.O.)<br>
Hello, Sam.<br>
[INT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - DAY]<br>
[Kipling is holding Castiel captive and chained to a chair.]<br>
SAM (V.O.)<br>
Who is this? <br>
KIPLING<br>
Oh. I'm the boy who's got your angel. And if you want to see him again, you know, alive, we should probably chat.<br>
<br>
ACT THREE<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - WAR ROOM - DAY]<br>
[Sam is preparing some weapons to rescue Castiel, along with Bobby, Jack, Maggie and Mary.]<br>
MARY<br>
It's a trap.<br>
SAM<br>
Yep.	<br>
BOBBY<br>
This guy's a -- <br>
SAM<br>
Demon.<br>
JACK<br>
He just told you he was a demon? <br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. He seemed pretty proud of it, too.<br>
BOBBY<br>
Yeah, they ain't a real humble bunch.<br>
MAGGIE<br>
So, what do we do? <br>
[Sam loads his gun.]<br>
SAM<br>
We get Cas back. All right, grab holy water, Devil's Trap bullets, angel blades, because whatever we're walking into -- <br>
BOBBY<br>
It's gonna suck.<br>
SAM<br>
Exactly. Maggie, you're with Bobby. Mom, you're with me.<br>
JACK<br>
I'm coming, too. I know I'm not as strong as I used to be, but... I can help. (pause) I have to.<br>
BOBBY<br>
Listen, kid -- <br>
SAM<br>
Okay. Grab your gear.<br>
[Jack smiles at him and hurriedly leaves to prepare.]<br>
BOBBY<br>
Sam, I mean -- Jack's a worker, but he ain't ready for a full-on demon smackdown.<br>
SAM<br>
So... we keep an eye on him. He needs this, Bobby.<br>
[Bobby leaves.]<br>
[INT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - DAY]<br>
[Kipling grabs a cup of coffee from the bar. Castiel is still chained to the chair, bloody from his previous fight with the demons.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
(to the bartender)<br>
And danke, sweetie.<br>
[Kipling sits next to Castiel.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
Castiel, you sure I can't get you anything hot and black? <br>
CASTIEL<br>
Coffee has no effect on me.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Hm. Me either. (sips his coffee) You know, not anymore, but it's like saltwater taffy or infants -- you know, I just like the taste.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Why are you doing this? <br>
KIPLING<br>
I'm just trying to be a good host like Mother would have wanted.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
No, w-- <br>
[Castiel rattles his chains.]<br>
Why are you using me as bait? <br>
KIPLING<br>
I mean, it's kind of what you're for, isn't it? And I need something... from Sam Winchester.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
You really think that he's gonna make a deal with you?<br>
KIPLING<br>
Oh, he's dealt with worse. You see, recently, I had a revelation.<br>
You know, somebody asked me what it was that I wanted, and I realized that after 600 years as a demon walking the planet, destroying, drinking, defiling -- you know, the Three D's -- I didn't know.<br>
So, I sat back, and I gave it a good think, and I realized exactly what I wanted.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
And what is it? <br>
KIPLING<br>
Everything.<br>
[EXT. ROAD - NIGHT]<br>
[We see the IMPALA speed down the road, followed by another car.]<br>
[INT. IMPALA - NIGHT]<br>
[Sam is driving. Mary is sitting shotgun.]<br>
MARY<br>
Sam, it's gonna be fine.<br>
SAM<br>
(scoffs)<br>
Stop saying that, please.<br>
MARY<br>
What? <br>
SAM<br>
“It's gonna be fine,” that everything's gonna be fine, we're gonna find Dean, and -- <br>
MARY<br>
We are.<br>
SAM<br>
You don't know that. (pause) Dean's gone, and we have no idea where he is or -- or if he's even still alive. You know, Michael could have... burned him out or... worse, and... (sighs) <br>
MARY<br>
I know. I know he's out there, scared and alone. I know. I know he might never come back. Never think I don't know that.<br>
But -- I can't -- I have to think about the good, Sam, because, if I don't, I will drown in the bad. For Dean's sake, I can't do that. We can't do that.<br>
[INT. BOBBY’S CAR - NIGHT]<br>
[Bobby, Maggie and Jack are following right behind the Impala. Bobby glances at Jack.]<br>
BOBBY<br>
Listen, Jack. On the other side, you saved me and mine a dozen times.<br>
Now, things may have changed, but... whatever happened -- whatever happens -- we got your back.<br>
[EXT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - DAY]<br>
[Sam, Mary, Bobby, Maggie and Jack arrive in the location where Castiel is being held captive. They get out of their cars. Sam hands Mary RUBY’S KNIFE.]<br>
SAM<br>
Here.<br>
MARY<br>
The Demon Killing Knife. Are you sure? <br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. They'll search me. It's safer with you. All right. You know what to do.<br>
[Sam heads to the bar’s entrance.]<br>
[INT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - CONTINUOUS]<br>
[Sam cautiously walks into the local. Kipling smiles at him.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
Ladies and gentlemen, the great... Sam Winchester.<br>
[A DEMON searches Sam. Kipling puts his drink down.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
I have heard so much about you. You are a damn legend, Sam -- a-an icon.<br>
Th-The shoulders, the -- the hair. Mm-mm! You are my Beyoncé.<br>
[Sam looks at Castiel.]<br>
SAM<br>
Cas, you okay? <br>
KIPLING<br>
Of course he is. I don't damage the merchandise.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
I'm more embarrassed than I am hurt.<br>
SAM<br>
(to Kipling)<br>
And you are? <br>
KIPLING<br>
Kipling. Uh, “Kip” for short.<br>
SAM<br>
Cool. Kip. I'm here like you asked, so --<br>
KIPLING<br>
Yeah, you're here, but not exactly as I asked. You see, I told you to come alone. But...<br>
[A group of demons have captured Jack and Maggie. They bring them in.]<br>
DEMON<br>
Found them outside. They didn't even put up a fight.<br>
JACK<br>
I'm sorry, Sam.<br>
[One of the demons punches Jack in the stomach.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
It's fine. You... tried. But I'm gonna need a little bit more now, you know, not to... eat them. I-It's just, you know, late capitalism. You understand. So, Sam, let's make a deal.<br>
<br>
ACT FOUR<br>
[INT. MOTOWN’S BBQ MEATS - DAY]<br>
SAM<br>
You're looking to make a deal? <br>
KIPLING<br>
I'm a demon. That's how we do.<br>
[Sam glances at Maggie and Jack.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
Please.<br>
[Kipling sternly taps a stool next to him.]<br>
Sit. No? Suit yourself, barbarian.<br>
SAM<br>
What do you want? <br>
KIPLING<br>
That is a very good question. What do I want? You know, I don't know if you're aware or not, Sam, but Hell's in a bit of a pickle, you know, with Crowley dead and Asmodeus Kentucky fried, which means -- <br>
SAM<br>
I don't care.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Yes, you do. Or you will. You see, for the first time in a very long time, Hell is without a King. And that -- that's just not right.<br>
So, I -- <br>
SAM<br>
So, you volunteer.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Exactly.<br>
SAM<br>
Why are you telling me all this? <br>
KIPLING<br>
Because I want to work with you, Sam, not against you.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
And is that why you took me hostage? <br>
KIPLING<br>
It's exactly why you're still breathing. It gives me a chance to show Sam and friends that I can hurt them but choose not to.<br>
You see, I want the Crowley Deal. I give you information, a spot of help every now and again, and in return, you choose to turn a blind eye to the crossroads deals, the demon-on-demon violence, et cetera.<br>
SAM<br>
We never gave Crowley that deal.<br>
KIPLING<br>
How exciting. Then I would be breaking new ground.<br>
SAM<br>
All right. You got some good lines, I'll give you that much, but you're no Crowley. I know that. And so do they.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Ouch! (laughs) Owie! I know that I'm not that ponce-y son of a bitch. You see, in life, I rode with Genghis Khan, and I burned half the world.<br>
So, please, do you think that I like prancing around like this? Please.<br>
[He menacingly approaches Sam.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
If I had it my way, I would eat your heart. But a King has an image to maintain. And I'm not afraid of you. But, they are.<br>
[Kipling glances at the other demons.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
So, take the deal, Sam, before I stop trying to be Crowley and I show you who I really am. So, what do you say, darling? <br>
SAM<br>
No.<br>
KIPLING<br>
A-Are you sure, because I know things -- a-all sorts of things.<br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. So do I.<br>
KIPLING<br>
Like? <br>
[Mary and Bobby break in. They start shooting, making the fire alarm go off. Everyone else seeks shelter. Mary throws Ruby’s Knife to Sam.]<br>
MARY<br>
Sam! <br>
KIPLING<br>
How smart.<br>
[Sam and Kipling start fighting. Mary kills a demon with an angel blade. Jack and Maggie are hiding.]<br>
JACK<br>
(to Maggie)<br>
Hey. Stay low.<br>
[A couple of demons are beating up Bobby. Jack steps up.]<br>
JACK<br>
Hey! Get away from him.<br>
BOBBY<br>
Aw, balls.<br>
[One of the demons punches Jack. Sam is still fighting with Kipling. Mary goes to Maggie, who’s still hiding.]<br>
MARY<br>
Take this.<br>
[She gives Maggie her angel blade.]<br>
MARY<br>
You know how to use it? <br>
MAGGIE<br>
Uh, stab them with the pointy end? <br>
MARY<br>
Pretty much. Okay.<br>
MAGGIE<br>
Okay.<br>
[Sam and Kipling keep fighting. Castiel watches. A demon attacks Mary and is almost winning, when -- Maggie stabs her in the back with the angel blade. They get attacked by another pair of demons. Meanwhile, a demon punches Jack K.O.]<br>
[Kipling is about to overpower Sam. He takes Ruby’s knife.]<br>
KIPLING<br>
Cool.<br>
[Sam exploits Kipling being distracted, grabs the knife and KILLS HIM.]<br>
SAM<br>
Enough! <br>
[Everyone looks at him.]<br>
There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. And if anybody wants the job, you can come through me. Understood? (breathing heavily) So, what's it gonna be? <br>
[All demons leave their vessels.]<br>
SAM<br>
That's what I thought.<br>
<br>
ACT FIVE<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - DAY]<br>
[Sam is sitting at the table, pressing a cold beer to his forehead. He’s having a phone conversation.]<br>
SAM<br>
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I -- No, I don't care. I -- Just keep looking. Yeah. Thanks.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Who was that? <br>
SAM<br>
Uh, Ketch. (chuckles) He's in London searching for the Newton-Dee Hyperbolic Pulse Generator.<br>
[Castiel sits down.]<br>
CASTIEL<br>
The what? <br>
SAM<br>
It's the -- It's the magic egg that kicked Lucifer out of the President.<br>
I thought we could use it on Michael, but -- Ketch can't find it.<br>
So, that's another dead end, which is just awesome.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Sam, are you all right? <br>
SAM<br>
Yeah, I've been better. I've been worse. You? <br>
CASTIEL<br>
I'm -- I'm just sorry.<br>
I should never have gone to those demons.<br>
SAM<br>
Cass, I -- No, I-I-I don't blame you. I... Honestly, I-I wish I'd have thought of it first. If it meant finding Dean, I-I'd work with -- I'd do anything.<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - KITCHEN - DAY]<br>
[Mary and Bobby are having a beer together.]<br>
MARY<br>
Not bad today, old man.<br>
BOBBY<br>
You, too, sunshine.<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - BATHROOM - DAY]<br>
[Jack is staring at himself in the mirror.]<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Hey, Jack.<br>
JACK<br>
I'm fine.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
You did well.<br>
JACK<br>
All I did was get punched in the face.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Well, to be fair, we all got punched in the face.<br>
JACK<br>
That's not -- Before, when I had my powers, I-I could have done something, and -- <br>
CASTIEL<br>
Jack. You don't -- You -- You don't have your powers. And you -- Your grace should regenerate in time, but until then -- <br>
JACK<br>
I'm useless. I can't kill demons, I can't find Dean, and Michael is in our world, and I can't stop him. I can't do anything. I don't have anything.<br>
CASTIEL<br>
Oh, Jack, that's just not true. You've got me. You have all of us. You have your family.<br>
And -- And we are going to find Dean and we are going to beat Michael and we're going to do it together. We -- Because that's what we do.<br>
[Castiel leaves.]<br>
[INT. MEN OF LETTERS’ BUNKER - SAM’S ROOM - DAY]<br>
[Sam gets into his room. He turns the light on and leaves his phone on the table. The phone starts vibrating: an incoming call. Sam picks up.]<br>
SAM<br>
Hello? <br>
SISTER JO (V.O.)<br>
Sam? <br>
SAM<br>
Jo? <br>
[EXT. ROAD - DAY]<br>
SISTER JO<br>
Yeah. We have a problem.<br>
[INT. WAREHOUSE - DAY]<br>
[Michael is talking to a young man.]<br>
MICHAEL<br>
Now, you -- you know exactly what you want.<br>
You don't pretend to want to help people or save the world.<br>
Your want is pure and simple and clean.<br>
And that's why you are worth saving.<br>
That's why we are going to work so well together.<br>
Because you -- you just want to eat.<br>
<br>
<br>
