Lightening Lightning flashes.
KEVIN is suspended in the air by the lightening as pieces of the roof swirl and fall around him. He drops to the floor. White light flashes behind his closed eyes.

DEAN<br />
That's a lot of fuss over a caveman legoLego.
''INT. – KEVIN’S BEDROOM – NIGHT''
KEVIN’s blank college admission essay is still on the screen. KEVIN, who is standing, opens an energy drink and takes a sip. Lightening Lightning flashes and thunder claps.
''INT. – ABANDONED BUILDING – NIGHT''
DEAN hits the clay again. Lightening Lightning flashes and thunder claps.

Kevin looks up as more lightening lightning flashes.
''INT. – ABANDONED BUILDING – NIGHT''
''EXT. – SKY – NIGHT''
Bolts of lightening lightning shoot down from the clouds.
''INT. – KEVIN’S BEDROOM – NIGHT''
The lightening lightning reaches into KEVIN’s room and strikes him. He yells as he is lifted off the ground.
''INT. – ABANDONED BUILDING – NIGHT''
''INT. – KEVIN’S BEDROOM – NIGHT''
KEVIN is suspended in the air by the lightning as pieces of the roof swirl and fall around him. He drops to the floor, which is covered in broken glass. White light flashes behind his closed eyes.
''INT. – ABANDONED BUILDING – NIGHT''
''INT. – KEVIN’S BEDROOM – NIGHT''
KEVIN lies on the floor as white light shines behind his closed eyelids. We see close-ups of some kind of hieroglyphics and when the camera returns to KEVIN there is no longer white light in his eyes. His body jerks on the floor and then goes still.
'''SUPERNATURAL''' (Title Card)
== ACT ONE ==
''INT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
CASTIEL lies in bed with his eyes closed as lightning flashes and thunder claps. MEG, who is pretending to be NURSE MASTERS, is sitting by his bed listening to music and reading a magazine. MEG raises her eyes from the magazine to see that CASTIEL has sat up. He turns to look at her.
''EXT. GEOTHRIVE CONSTRUCTION SITE – NIGHT''
Lightning flashes and thunder claps. A large billboard reads “Geothrive Inc. – Planning Your Future With Pride!”
''INT. OFFICE – NIGHT''
EDGAR the Leviathan and another man are looking at design plans.
EDGAR<br />
I don't know. I think the line might panic when they turn this corner, see the blade assembly up ahead.
EDGAR’s phone rings and he takes it out of his pocket. The display reads “Dick Calling.”
EDGAR<br />
Strange, isn't it, that someone would choose to be named "Dick"?
Lightning flashes as EDGAR answers the phone.
EDGAR<br />
Yes?
''INT. KEVIN’S BEDROOM – NIGHT''
KEVIN lies on the floor amidst broken glass. His phone rings. As he begins to stir, the call goes to voice mail.
KEVIN’S RECORDED MESSAGE<br />
<i> This is Kevin Tran's voicemail. Please leave a message.</i>
KEVIN’S MOTHER<br />
<i>Kevin, it's Mom. I know you're at school </i>[KEVIN opens his eyes] <i>already, about to take the test.</i> [KEVIN sits upright.] <i>And I know all your hard work will net the results… </i>
KEVIN’s clock reads 10:22.
KEVIN<br />
22! [He gets to his feet.]
KEVIN’S MOTHER<br />
<i>…we've discussed, but like Dr. Ender said…</i>
KEVIN<br />
Wait!
KEVIN’S MOTHER<br />
<i>…don't obsess on the quote unquote perfect.</i>
KEVIN<br />
No. No. No!
KEVIN grabs a shirt and looks at his calendar on his computer.
KEVIN’S MOTHER<br />
<i>That's just a nice feather in our cap, if we get it. Now, Kevin, we're about to finish up our last seminar.</i> [KEVIN puts his shirt in a bag.] <i>My flight's confirmed for 7:00, so I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow. Love you, honey.</i>
White light flashes and appears in KEVIN’s eyes. We see close-ups of the hieroglyphics interspersed with KEVIN’s face.
''INT. ABANDONED BUILDING – DAY''
DEAN, who is lying on the ground, wakes. The news is playing.
REPORTER<br />
<i>...At a lost to explain the continent-wide storm system that appeared seemingly out of nowhere, blanketing a good part of the nation in freak lightning displays. </i>
DEAN stands up. SAM is listening to the news on his laptop at the table.
REPORTER<br />
<i>Here with Dr. Marlon Price of the U.S. Meteorological Survey at a press conference earlier today.</i>
DR MARLON PRICE<br />
<i>Baffled? No, I'm not baffled.</i> [DEAN washes his face at the sink.] <i>Frankly, I'm offended. This is not the way weather behaves.</i>
REPORTER<br />
<i>Power outages and related damages to electronic equipment have been reported from as far east as Cape Cod [indistinct]…</i>
A metal cup near DEAN moves.
DEAN<br />
Bobby? Bobby, that you?
SAM<br />
Think so. [He holds up a flashing EMF reader.] But that whole adventure at Roman's seems to have drained his batteries.
DEAN<br />
So, what? We start the storm heard 'round the world?
SAM<br />
When we broke this thing [SAM touches the stone tablet] open last night, every maternity ward within a hundred-mile radius got slammed. Looks like any woman in the last month of her pregnancy went into labor.
DEAN<br />
Hmm. [DEAN picks up the tablet.] This one goes out to all the ladies. So, heavyweight signs, omens – what do we got?
SAM<br />
I assume it's writing. But I've never seen anything like it, ever. And it doesn't match anything in any book or online.
DEAN<br />
All right, so big daddy chomper lands here, he grabs himself some Dick... and then he starts secretly underwriting university departments, pouring money into digs – all for this. Why?
SAM<br />
No clue. We do know that he will be tearing new ones until he gets it back, though. Look, we got to take a minute, hole up somewhere safe, find out what we've got.
DEAN<br />
Rufus' cabin, then?
SAM<br />
Yeah.
DEAN<br />
This time, I'm doing the shopping.
SAM’s phone rings.
SAM<br />
It's Meg.
SAM answers the phone. The scene switches between SAM and DEAN in the abandoned building and MEG in the hospital.
SAM<br />
What?
MEG<br />
What up, Bullwinkle? Just a little FYI call. Your boy's awake.
SAM<br />
What? [to DEAN] Cas is awake.
DEAN<br />
When? [SAM puts the phone on speaker and holds it out.] When?
MEG<br />
Last night about eight.
DEAN<br />
And you waited till now to call us?
MEG<br />
I've been busy with Cas. He's just a tad different than when he dozed off, 'kay?
DEAN<br />
What do you mean, different?
MEG<br />
Hey, Seacrest, guess what – not a nurse. Just playing one on TV. Want answers? Start driving.
MEG hangs up.
SAM<br />
Great. So, Indiana?
DEAN<br />
Yeah. Eight o’clock last night.
SAM<br />
Yeah. Same time we opened up that thing.
We see close-ups of the hieroglyphics and KEVIN’s eyes, lit by white light.
''CAR – NIGHT''
KEVIN is driving. He swerves.
KEVIN<br />
Ahh! Ahh!
KEVIN’s phone rings.
KEVIN<br />
Ahh!
He answers the phone. The scene switches between KEVIN in the car and CHANNING in her bedroom.
KEVIN<br />
Who?
CHANNING<br />
Kevin? Where were you today? You missed the test!
KEVIN<br />
I...
CHANNING<br />
And student council and quartet.
KEVIN<br />
I had to take my mom's car. I-I think I had a seizure or something. [White light flashes in his eyes.] I've been chosen. It's my birthright.
CHANNING<br />
Oh, my God, Kevin, all the pressure you've been under. This isn't one of those overachiever-teen meltdowns, is it?
KEVIN<br />
I'm supposed to keep going. I'm not allowed to stop.
CHANNING<br />
What do you mean, "not allowed"? [KEVIN puts down the phone.] Is someone with you? They didn't make you take your mother's car, did they? Kevin?!
KEVIN makes a right-hand turn and heads west.
== ACT TWO ==
''EXT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
''INT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
CASTIEL is looking out the window in his room. DEAN and SAM walk down the hallway.
DEAN<br />
We raced all the way here, and now I don't know. I can't say I'm fired up to see what's left of the guy.
SAM<br />
You think he remembers at all?
DEAN<br />
That, and I'm guessing whatever kind of hell baggage he lifted off of your plate. It's not gonna be pretty.
ORDERLY<br />
Hey. Excuse me, gentlemen, but it's way past visiting hours.
MEG<br />
It's okay, Abel. I've been expecting them. Hello, boys.
MEG leads SAM and DEAN to CASTIEL’s room. CASTIEL is still staring out the window.
DEAN<br />
Hey, Cas.
CASTIEL turns around.
CASTIEL<br />
Hello, Dean. Sam.
SAM<br />
Hey, Castiel.
DEAN<br />
Look at you, walkin' and talkin'. That's – that's great, right?
CASTIEL walks over to DEAN and points a finger at him.
CASTIEL<br />
Pull my finger.
DEAN<br />
What?
CASTIEL<br />
My finger – pull it.
DEAN does so. There is a crash, the lights go out and window and light fixture shatter. CASTIEL laughs. MEG turns on a lamp.
DEAN<br />
Okay, just hang on, Cas. Wait. Let us catch up to you for a second.
SAM<br />
So, you're saying you remember who you are, what you are.
CASTIEL<br />
Yes. Of course. Oh. Outside today, in the garden, I followed a honeybee. I saw the route of flowers. It's all right there, the whole plan. There's nothing to add.
SAM<br />
You might want to add a little Thorazine.
MEG<br />
Right? He's been like the naked guy at the rave ever since he woke up. Totally useless.
CASTIEL<br />
Will you look at her? My caretaker. All of that thorny pain. So beautiful.
MEG<br />
We've been over this. I don't like poetry. Put up or shut up.
SAM<br />
Okay. So, Cas, you said you woke up last night?
CASTIEL<br />
Yes. I heard a ping that pierced me, and, well, you wouldn't have heard it unless you were an angel at the time.
SAM hands CASTIEL a bag containing the stone tablet.
SAM<br />
That's also when we opened this.
CASTIEL<br />
Oh. Of course. Now I understand.
SAM<br />
Understand what?
CASTIEL<br />
You were the ones. Well... I guess that makes sense.
DEAN<br />
What makes sense?
CASTIEL<br />
If someone was going to free the Word from the vault of the earth, it would end up being you two. Oh, I love you guys.
CASTIEL pulls DEAN and SAM into a hug.
DEAN<br />
Oh. Uck. Okay. All right. Okay.
SAM pats CASTIEL briefly on the back.
SAM<br />
Yeah, yeah. You – you said something about "The Word." Is that what's written on there?
CASTIEL<br />
Did you know that a cat's penis is sharply barbed along its shaft? I know for a fact the females were not consulted about that.
DEAN<br />
Cas, please, we're losing ground out there, okay? We need your help. Can you not see that?
CASTIEL<br />
This is the handwriting of Metatron.
SAM<br />
Metatron? You saying a Transformer wrote that?
DEAN<br />
No. That's Megatron.
SAM<br />
What?
DEAN<br />
The Transformer – it's Megatron.
SAM<br />
What?
CASTIEL<br />
Metatron. He's an angel. He's the scribe of God. He took down dictation when creation was being formed.
SAM<br />
And that's the Word of God?
CASTIEL<br />
One of them, yes.
SAM<br />
Uh... Well, what's it say, then?
CASTIEL<br />
Uh... "Tree”? [He looks at SAM and DEAN.] "Horse"? "Fiddler crab"? I can't read it. It wasn't meant for angels.
MEG<br />
Okay, this all sounds bad. What are you two jackasses doing with the Word of God? Let me see that thing.
DEAN<br />
Back off, Meg.
MEG<br />
Come on, it's my ass, too.
DEAN<br />
Back off.
MEG<br />
Damn it! Enough of this "demons are second-class citizens" crap!
CASTIEL<br />
Don't like conflict.
CASTIEL disappears and the stone tablet drops to the floor, breaking into three pieces.
SAM<br />
Uh...
DEAN<br />
What the hell was that?
MEG<br />
You heard him. He doesn't like conflict. He's down in the dayroom now. I guarantee it.
DEAN<br />
All right, I'll go handle Cas. Sam, will you please pick up the Word of God?
SAM<br />
Yeah.
DEAN leaves the room.
MEG<br />
What are you guys caught up in now?
SAM starts putting the pieces of the stone tablet into the bag.
MEG<br />
I deserve to know, Sam.
SAM doesn’t answer.
MEG<br />
Okay, fine. I'll hit the road, then. Let me just go get my angel.
MEG leaves the room. SAM goes after her, leaving the bag on the floor in CASTIEL’s room.
SAM<br />
Meg, what are you talking about? Stop.
MEG<br />
We both call, who do you think Cas will come to? I'm guessing me. You heard him – thorny beauty, blah, blah. I'm the saint who stayed with him. He owes me. His words.
SAM<br />
Yeah, what about what he owes us?
MEG<br />
Well, work on him a little. Maybe he'll start crushing on you, too, hot stuff.
SAM<br />
What are you gonna do with a broken angel? Don't be stupid.
MEG<br />
I'll take power where I can get it. I've got myself to look out for.
They hear a noise and head back to CASTIEL’s room.
SAM<br />
What the hell?
The bag containing the stone tablet is gone.
''EXT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
KEVIN is running with the bag in his arms. He comes to a stop near a corner of the building.
''INT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
DEAN is walking down a hallway. He stops at the doorway to the dayroom and looks at CASTIEL, who is sitting at a table with his back to DEAN.
''EXT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
KEVIN is running with SAM in close pursuit.
SAM<br />
Hey!
KEVIN zig-zags to avoid SAM.
KEVIN<br />
No, stop! Leave me alone! Aah!
MEG puts out an arm and knocks KEVIN to the ground.
MEG<br />
Not a demon nor a chomper. What the hell are you?
KEVIN<br />
I'm a... K-Kevin Tran. I'm in advanced placement. P-p-please don't kill me.
SAM<br />
I'm not gonna kill you.
SAM hauls KEVIN to his feet and tries to take the bag away from him.
KEVIN<br />
I'm sorry.
SAM keeps trying to pull the bag from KEVIN’s grasp.
KEVIN<br />
I-I'm sorry. I... I don't – I don't know why, but I can't let go of this.
== ACT THREE ==
''INT. HOSPITAL DAYROOM – NIGHT''
DEAN walks over to stand in front of CASTIEL.
DEAN<br />
You realize you just broke God's Word?
CASTIEL looks away and DEAN sits down at the table opposite him.
DEAN<br />
It's Sam's thing, isn't it? You taking on his, uh, cage-match scars. I'm guessing that's what broke your bank, right?
CASTIEL<br />
Well, it took... everything to get me here.
DEAN<br />
What are you talking about, man?
CASTIEL<br />
Dean, I know you want different answers.
DEAN<br />
No, I want you to button up your coat and help us take down Leviathans. Do you remember what you did?
CASTIEL holds up the board game “Sorry!” He shakes it once and the board and pieces appear on the table, set up ready to play. CASTIEL sets the box aside.
CASTIEL<br />
Do you want to go first?
''INT. CASTIEL’S ROOM – NIGHT''
KEVIN is sitting on the bed. SAM stands in front of him and MEG behind him.
MEG<br />
You really stepped in it, kid. Oh, man.
KEVIN<br />
All I know is, this is – it's for me. I'm supposed to keep it.
MEG<br />
Good luck.
SAM<br />
But you don't know what it is? [KEVIN shakes his head.] Open it.
KEVIN unzips the bag and withdraws two pieces of the stone tablet. He fits them together and they knit back together with a brief flash of white light.
''INT. HOSPITAL DAYROOM – NIGHT''
DEAN picks up a “Sorry!” card.
CASTIEL<br />
You know, we weren't sure at first which monkeys were gonna make it. No offense, but I [DEAN moves a marker on the board] was backing the Neanderthals because their poetry was... just amazing. It's in perfect tune [CASTIEL picks up a card] with the spheres. But in the end, it was you – the [CASTIEL moves a marker] homo sapiens sapiens. You guys ate the apple, invented pants.
DEAN<br />
Cas, where can we find this, uh, Metatron? Is he still alive?
CASTIEL<br />
I'm sorry. I – I think you have to go back to start.
DEAN moves a marker.
DEAN<br />
This is important.
CASTIEL motions for DEAN to pick up another card. DEAN does and moves another marker.
DEAN<br />
I think Metatron could stop a lot of bad. You understand that?
CASTIEL picks up another card.
CASTIEL<br />
We live in a "sorry" universe. It's engineered to create conflict. I mean, why should I prosper from... your misfortune? [CASTIEL puts down a marker and moves DEAN’s marker back to the start.] But these are the rules. I didn't make them.
DEAN<br />
You made some of them. When you tried to become God, when you cut that hole into that wall.
CASTIEL<br />
Dean... it's your move.
DEAN pounds a fist on the table and swipes the board to the floor.
DEAN<br />
Forget the damn game! Forget the game, Cas.
CASTIEL<br />
I'm sorry, Dean.
DEAN<br />
No. You're <i>playing</i> "Sorry!"
''INT. CASTIEL’S ROOM – NIGHT''
KEVIN is holding the stone tablet in shaking hands. It is now whole again.
KEVIN<br />
It's writing.
SAM<br />
Yeah. Yeah, we get that.
KEVIN<br />
What's Leviathan?
SAM<br />
What? You can read it? Is that what it says?
KEVIN<br />
Sort of. It hurts a little. Like looking through somebody else's glasses, but I think it... it's about Leviathan, how it came to be. God locked him up far away, right? Like in jail... because they're so... they're... they're real, aren't they?
SAM<br />
Yeah, Kevin. They – they are. And they're here. Does it say anything about how to kill them? 'Cause that's – that's kind of been a problem.
KEVIN<br />
I don't know. It's not like <i>reading</i> reading. It – it's hard to focus on it too long.
MEG’s eyes turn black and the lights flicker.
MEG<br />
Sam. Something's up.
SAM<br />
What?
KEVIN looks at MEG and screams. He scrambles backwards on the bed.
SAM<br />
Kevin, hey, hey, hey. Kevin.
The glass lampshade breaks. A WOMAN appears in the doorway.
WOMAN<br />
Demon.
There is the sound of angel wings and a MAN appears. The WOMAN makes a hand motion and MEG goes flying into the wall.
''INT. HOSPITAL DAYROOM – NIGHT''
CASTIEL is picking up the game pieces. He stops and looks up.
DEAN<br />
What?
CASTIEL<br />
Sam. He's talking to angels.
''INT. CASTIEL’S ROOM – NIGHT''
FEMALE ANGEL<br />
A demon whore and a Winchester... again.
SAM takes a step towards KEVIN.
FEMALE ANGEL<br />
Step away from the Prophet!
KEVIN<br />
Who, me?
FEMALE ANGEL<br />
Sole keeper of the word on earth, we are here to take you.
KEVIN<br />
What do you mean, "take"?
FEMALE ANGEL<br />
[to the MALE ANGEL] Kill the demon and her lover.
MEG<br />
That's not how it – we're not –
The MALE ANGEL holds out an arm and MEG slashes at him with a knife. He cups his palm, which is shining with white light.
FEMALE ANGEL<br />
Where did you get that?!
There is a rustling of angel wings and CASTIEL appears.
MALE ANGEL<br />
Castiel?
CASTIEL smiles.
CASTIEL<br />
Hi.
MALE ANGEL<br />
You're alive?
FEMALE ANGEL<br />
You.
CASTIEL<br />
Hello, Hester.
HESTER<br />
You smote thousands in Heaven. You gave a big, scary speech. Then you were gone. What the hell was that?!
CASTIEL<br />
Rude, for one thing.
MALE ANGEL<br />
Where have you been?
CASTIEL<br />
Oh, Inias. Hester, I... I know you want something – answers. I... I wish it could be that… There are still many things I can teach you. I can offer, um, well, perspective. Here. [CASTIEL points a finger at HESTER.] Pull my finger. [HESTER doesn’t move.] Uh... Uh... Meg will – will get another light, and I'll – I'll blow it out again. And, well, this time, it'll be funny, and – and we'll all look back and laugh.
HESTER<br />
You're insane.
DEAN<br />
Hey.
DEAN is standing in the doorway.
DEAN<br />
Heads up, Sunshine.
DEAN puts his hand in an angel-banishing sigil he’s drawn on the wall outside the room. White light flares and the angels vanish.
DEAN<br />
All angels blown back to their corners. We got like three, four hours tops.
SAM points to the knife MEG is holding.
SAM<br />
Meg, where did you get that?
MEG<br />
A lot of angels died this year.
KEVIN<br />
What's happening?! What's happening?!
DEAN<br />
What is that?
SAM<br />
It's, uh... Kevin Tran. He's, uh, in advanced placement.
== ACT FOUR ==
''INT. CASTIEL’S ROOM AT HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
KEVIN is sitting on the bed holding the stone tablet.
KEVIN<br />
So, these Leviathans – these monsters are real. And angels with wings?
SAM<br />
No. Uh... no wings. No anything.
DEAN<br />
No junk. Junkless. So, Kevin, you can, uh, read the chicken scratch on the God rock, huh?
KEVIN<br />
Uh, I…
DEAN<br />
That is back in one piece, I see. And you're saying that there's some sort of a "How to punch Dick" recipe in there somewhere?
KEVIN<br />
I-I don't know what you're saying, but it seems kind of like an "in case of emergency" note. What did they mean by "prophet"?
DEAN<br />
Oh, no. [to SAM] Really?
SAM<br />
Yeah. Yeah, that's what the angel said.
KEVIN<br />
I don't want to be a prophet.
DEAN<br />
No. You don't at all.
MEG<br />
Gentlemen, we've got to start running and hiding. Or do you want to tangle with those wing nuts twice?
DEAN<br />
I'm sorry. Did you say "we"?
MEG<br />
I'm on the angels' radar now. You think I don't need a little safety in numbers?
DEAN<br />
All right, we'll go to Rufus' cabin. Kid can do his book report there.
''EXT. ROAD – NIGHT''
A vehicle with several occupants drives along a wet road.
''EXT. AL’S MINI MART – DAY''
KEVIN is asleep in the back seat of the vehicle, which DEAN is filling with gas.
''INT. AL’S MINI MART – DAY''
MEG is reading a magazine at the counter as the CLERK puts her purchases in a bag. SAM walks to the counter with an armful of groceries and two coffees. A commercial plays on the TV in the store.
COMMERCIAL<br />
<i>We know you're hungry. Why not enjoy Biggerson's homemade pie bar? It's like a salad bar but with pie.</i>
NEWS ANNOUNCER<br />
<i>Now back to our top story on news 10, the search for the missing honor student. </i>
DETECTIVE<br />
<i>The victim in this case reportedly insisted</i> [SAM puts his groceries down on the counter and looks up at the TV] <i>he'd been chosen by birthright, causing speculation that a cult may be behind the abduction. The family car is also missing. Federal authorities have been placed on alert. </i>
NEWS ANNOUNCER<br />
<i>Again, 16-year-old honor student Kevin Tran reportedly taken from his Michigan home early yesterday.</i>
''EXT. AL’S MINI MART – DAY''
MEG is leaning against an ice machine, reading her magazine. She looks up at two truck drivers standing nearby.
MEG<br />
Oh, crap.
The truck drivers have black eyes.
CUT TO: DEAN hanging up the gas pump.
SAM<br />
Hey. [He hands DEAN a coffee.] So, we got another wrinkle. Uh, looks like Kevin's gone missing... and it's gone federal. Yeah. Where's Meg?
MEG<br />
I'm here.
DEAN<br />
Great, so now we're kidnappers?
MEG<br />
Not if we shut up about it. Why? Who'd we kidnap?
''EXT. ROAD – NIGHT''
SAM and DEAN’s vehicle drives along a wet road.
''VEHICLE – NIGHT''
KEVIN is asleep in the back seat. He wakes and looks at MEG.
KEVIN<br />
Oh, God.
MEG<br />
What?
KEVIN<br />
Nothing. Nothing. Just... my life... my future... [MEG’s phone rings] …my girlfriend... my mom's car.
MEG answers her phone.
MEG<br />
Yeah. Yeah, Castiel. It's me.
DEAN<br />
Cas? Where? Where is he?
MEG<br />
[to DEAN] Shut up.
CASTIEL<br />
I’ll stop speaking.
MEG<br />
No. No, Cas. You talk.
CASTIEL<br />
[audible over MEG’s phone] I’m in a place called Perth.
MEG<br />
Perth?
DEAN<br />
Perth? As in Australia?
MEG<br />
What dogs? [to DEAN] He says he's surrounded by unhappy dogs.
CASTIEL<br />
They’re chasing a rabbit around [indistinct]…
MEG<br />
Oh. Okay. He's at a dog track in Perth.
CASTIEL<br />
I’m surrounded by large unhappy dogs.
MEG<br />
Yeah, they're unhappy 'cause the rabbit's fake. Listen, we're on highway 94, north of St. Cloud, Minnesota, just passing mile marker 79.
CASTIEL materializes in the back seat between MEG and KEVIN.
KEVIN<br />
Aah!
MEG<br />
Kevin, this is Castiel.
KEVIN<br />
You're one of the angels?
CASTIEL touches a finger to KEVIN’s nose.
CASTIEL<br />
Boop. Meg, are you hurt?
MEG<br />
Shut up.
DEAN<br />
Cas, what happened back there? Who were those guys?
CASTIEL<br />
They're from the Garrison – my old Garrison. Looks like Hester's taken over. We were assigned to watch the earth. Often, it was boring. The wars were very boring and the sex – you know, the repetition. Anyway, I was, uh... I was their captain. Isn't that strange?
SAM<br />
Cas, why are they pissed at us now?
CASTIEL<br />
[to MEG] You know, those racing dogs were absolutely miserable. They can only think in ovals.
DEAN<br />
Cas, don't make me pull this car over! Why are angels after us?
CASTIEL<br />
Are you angry? Why are you angry?
DEAN<br />
No, I-I'm... Please, can we just stay on target?
CASTIEL<br />
There is no reason for anger. They're only following protocol. If the Word of God is revealed, a keeper of the Word will awaken, like this [He touches KEVIN’s nose] hot potato right here.
KEVIN slaps CASTIEL’s hand away.
KEVIN<br />
Please stop that.
CASTIEL<br />
Anyway, Garrison code dictates you take the keeper to the desert to learn the Word away from men.
DEAN<br />
What kind of sense does that make? He has to tell us so that we can use it.
CASTIEL<br />
That's God and his shiny red apples.
KEVIN<br />
I can't live in the desert. I-I'm applying to Princeton!
DEAN<br />
Okay, you know what? Screw the Garrison. We need the tablet to end Sick Roman's "Soylent Us" crap.
CASTIEL<br />
If you want the Word, you'll have to duck Hester and her soldiers.
SAM<br />
Yeah, you're in our corner, right, Cas?
CASTIEL<br />
No, I don't fight anymore. I watch the bees.
''EXT. RUFUS’ CABIN – NIGHT''
''INT. RUFUS’ CABIN – NIGHT''
CASTIEL is drawing a symbol on the wall in chalk.
CASTIEL<br />
Let's leave off angel-proofing sigils or I'll be expelled, too.
SAM<br />
As long as we're invisible to your Garrison buddies, it works for me.
DEAN and KEVIN walk downstairs.
DEAN<br />
I'm sure you're pretty hungry, so once we get settled in upstairs, we'll get some dinner going.
KEVIN comes to a halt at the foot of the stairs. DEAN clears a space on the table, which is covered with knives.
KEVIN<br />
This looks like a sex-torture dungeon. Is this a sex-torture dungeon?
DEAN picks up a scythe.
DEAN<br />
No, this is not a sex-torture... Get over here. Sit down and read, would you?
CUT TO: Ground floor of the cabin. SAM sits down near CASTIEL.
CASTIEL<br />
You seem troubled. Of course, that's a primary aspect of your personality, so I sometimes ignore it.
SAM<br />
Okay. Um... right now I'm just wondering about you.
CASTIEL<br />
What about me? You're worried about the burden I lifted from you.
SAM<br />
I think I was done for. Do you see Lucifer?
CASTIEL<br />
I did at first. But that was... It was a projection of yours, I think, sort of an aftertaste. Now I more see... well, everything.
MEG watches from across the room.
CASTIEL<br />
It's funny. I was – I was done for, too.
MEG leaves.
CASTIEL<br />
The weight of all my mistakes, all those lives and souls lost, I... I couldn't take it, either. I was… I was lost until I took on your pain. It's strange to think that that helped, but –
SAM<br />
I know you never did anything but try to help. I realize that, Cas, and I'm grateful. We're all grateful. And we're gonna help you get better, okay? No matter what it takes.
CASTIEL<br />
What do you mean, "better"?
CUT TO: Cabin basement. DEAN is asleep in a chair and KEVIN is writing at the table. His hands start to shake and his vision blurs. KEVIN stands up, hyperventilating.
DEAN<br />
[with his eyes still closed] Kevin.
KEVIN<br />
This is all too much. What's happened to my life? I'm just a kid from Michigan. I didn't want to be a Word-keeper!
DEAN<br />
Looks like we're brown-baggin' it.
DEAN stands up and picks up a brown paper bag.
KEVIN<br />
I am not prepared to factor the supernatural into my [DEAN puts the brown paper bag over KEVIN’s face] world view.
DEAN<br />
Okay, there we go. [He pats KEVIN on the back.] That's it. That's it. Just breathe. Take it easy.
KEVIN holds onto the bag and breathes into it.
DEAN<br />
Oh, I don't know, man. What can I say? You've been chosen. And it sucks. Believe me. There's no use asking "why me?" 'Cause the angels – they don't care. I think maybe they just don't have the equipment to care. Seems like when they try, it just... breaks them apart.
KEVIN<br />
I just want to be the first Asian-American President of the United States.
DEAN<br />
Then do your homework.
''EXT. STREET – NIGHT''
A large truck is pulling up. MEG walks towards it. One of the DEMON TRUCK DRIVERS gets down from the cab.
MEG<br />
See? I'm here, just like I said.
Both DEMON TRUCK DRIVERS walk towards MEG.
DEMON TRUCK DRIVER 1<br />
You'd better start talking, skank. Tell me again why I'm not just hauling you off to the king's cash window.
MEG<br />
Come on, Rosco. I told you. I've got something way better. You know how Crowley likes presents.
ROSCO<br />
He's not gonna care if we bring in the Winchesters. Yesterday's news.
MEG<br />
Not the Winchesters. I've got the angel who double-crossed him. I've got Castiel.
ROSCO<br />
Nah. Castiel – he's dead.
MEG<br />
Right, 'cause you're in that loop.
ROSCO<br />
Where is he, then?
MEG<br />
First, I want to know how many of you jerks I have to cut in.
The second DEMON TRUCK DRIVER walks behind MEG.
ROSCO<br />
You think we're stupid? We didn't tell anybody. [He laughs.]
MEG<br />
I love demons.
MEG stabs the second DEMON TRUCK DRIVER with the angel knife. Gold light appears in his eyes and mouth and he falls to the ground, dead. MEG fights with ROSCO and stabs him. Gold light flashes in his skull and he too drops dead. MEG walks away.
''INT. RUFUS’ CABIN – NIGHT''
MEG enters the cabin and is brought to a sudden halt by a devil’s trap on the floor. SAM turns on the lights.
SAM<br />
Didn't expect to see you back.
DEAN<br />
Yeah, not without the King's army. [He gestures towards MEG.] Knife.
MEG hands DEAN the angel knife.
MEG<br />
Typical. I save our bacon, and you're sitting here, waiting by a devil's trap. Seriously, I just killed two of Crowley's men. I could have gone the other way on that.
CASTIEL<br />
It's true, incidentally. There's other demons' blood on that blade.
MEG<br />
Look, I'm simpler than you think. I've figured one thing out about this world – just one, pretty much. You find a cause, and you serve it. Give yourself over, and it orders your life. Lucifer and Yellow Eyes – their mission was it for me.
DEAN<br />
So, what? We should trust you because you wanted to free Satan from Hell?
MEG<br />
I'm talking "cause," douchebag, as in reason to get up in the morning. Obviously, these things shift over time. We learn, we grow. Now, for me currently, the cause is bringing down the King. And I know we'll need help to do it.
DEAN<br />
Crowley ain't the problem this year.
MEG<br />
When are you gonna get it? Crowley's always the problem. He's just waiting for the right moment to strike. I know what I'm supposed to do. And it isn't screw with Sam and Dean or lose the only angel who'd go to bat for me.
SAM breaks the devil’s trap with his foot.
CASTIEL<br />
This is good – harmony and communication. Now our only problem is Hester.
MEG<br />
What?
CASTIEL<br />
Well, here, we're hidden from the Garrison, but when you killed a demon, you put out a pretty clear beacon.
MEG<br />
We need better angel-proofing <i>now.</i>
The door breaks and bursts open. HESTER and a new MALE ANGEL appear in the room.
HESTER<br />
You took the Prophet from us?!
CASTIEL<br />
I'm – I'm sorry?
HESTER<br />
You have fallen in every way imaginable.
INAIS<br />
Please, Castiel. We have to follow the code. Help us do our work.
DEAN<br />
He can't help you. He can't help anybody.
HESTER<br />
We don't need his help... or his permission.
HESTER nods to INAIS, who nods back. There is the sound of angel wings and INAIS disappears.
HESTER<br />
The Keeper goes to the desert tonight.
INAIS reappears with KEVIN.
DEAN<br />
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back off. We're actually trying to clean up one of your angel's messes! You know that.
CASTIEL<br />
He's right. An angel brought the Leviathan back into this world, and – and they begged him. They begged him not to do it.
DEAN<br />
Look, just give us some time, okay? We will take care of your Prophet.
HESTER<br />
Why should <i>we</i> give <i>you</i> anything... After everything you have taken from us? The very touch of you corrupts. When Castiel first laid a hand on you in Hell, he was lost! For that, you're going to pay.
HESTER walks towards DEAN.
CASTIEL<br />
Please. They're the ones we were put here to protect.
HESTER<br />
No, Castiel.
HESTER backhands CASTIEL and he falls to the ground. INAIS and the other MALE ANGEL each hold up two fingers to stop DEAN and SAM from going to CASTIEL’s aid.
HESTER<br />
No more madness! [She punches CASTIEL.] No more promises! [She punches CASTIEL again.] No more new Gods! [She punches CASTIEL repeatedly and then holds up an angel knife.]
INAIS<br />
Hester! No! [He grabs HESTER’s arm.] Please! There's so few of us left.
HESTER punches INAIS in the face with the hand holding the knife.
HESTER<br />
[to CASTIEL] You wanted free will. Now <i>I'm</i> making the choices.
HESTER raises the knife. White light blazes from her chest and she falls to the ground. MEG has stabbed her.
MEG<br />
What? Someone had to.
== ACT FIVE ==
''INT. RUFUS’ CABIN – DAY''
INAIS<br />
These are strange times.
CASTIEL<br />
I think they've always been.
INAIS puts a hand on CASTIEL’s arm.
INAIS<br />
I wish you'd come with us.
CASTIEL<br />
Oh, I'm not part of the Garrison anymore, Inias. I'm sorry.
DEAN walks over to SAM and KEVIN, who are sitting at the table. KEVIN gives SAM the notebook in which he has translated the stone tablet.
SAM<br />
Thanks, Kevin. Not a lot of people could have handled this.
DEAN<br />
You doing all right there, "chosen one"?
KEVIN<br />
Yeah.
INAIS<br />
Are you ready, Kevin Tran?
The MALE ANGEL and a second new MALE ANGEL each put a hand on KEVIN’s shoulder. KEVIN holds the stone tablet.
INAIS<br />
Bring the Keeper to his home. We can watch over him there.
INAIS, the two MALE ANGELS and KEVIN disappear.
DEAN<br />
I couldn't find Meg anywhere.
CASTIEL<br />
Yes, well, she enjoys laying low.
SAM is reading the notebook.
SAM<br />
Here. “Leviathan cannot be slain but by a bone of a righteous mortal washed in the three bloods of the fallen.” Uh... It says we need to start with the blood of a fallen angel.
SAM and DEAN look at CASTIEL.
CASTIEL<br />
Well, you know me. [He holds out a small bottle.] I'm always happy to bleed for the Winchesters.
CASTIEL hands the bottle, which is filled with blood, to DEAN.
DEAN<br />
What are you gonna do, Cas?
CASTIEL<br />
I don't know. [He smiles.] Isn't that amazing?
CASTIEL disappears. SAM goes back goes back to reading the notebook.
DEAN<br />
Well, let's get to work.
DEAN claps SAM on the arm.
''INT. TRAN HOUSE – DAY''
MRS TRAN is standing in her kitchen.
DETECTIVE<br />
We're doing everything we can. Mrs. Tran, believe me.
MRS TRAN<br />
He said he'd had a s-seizure. What – what if they hit him? What if he has a brain injury?
DETECTIVE<br />
You need to trust us, okay? It won't help to wear yourself out with worry.
There is the sound of angel wings. The two MALE ANGELS appear with KEVIN between them.
KEVIN<br />
Mom?
MRS TRAN<br />
Kevin! Oh!
MRS TRAN and KEVIN embrace.
MRS TRAN<br />
[to the MALE ANGELS] Who are you?
KEVIN<br />
It's – it's okay, Mom. They brought me back. They're keeping me safe.
DETECTIVE<br />
I don't believe that's true.
The DETECTIVE plunges a hand into the chest of the first MALE ANGEL.
DETECTIVE<br />
Rock beats scissor.
The DETECTIVE twists his arm. Black veins spread up the neck of the MALE ANGEL and black goo spills from his mouth. The MALE ANGEL falls to the ground. The second MALE ANGEL raises a hand towards the DETECTIVE and makes a twisting motion, but nothing happens.
DETECTIVE<br />
Leviathan beats Angel.
The DETECTIVE plunges a hand into the chest of the second MALE ANGEL. Black goo spills from around the DETECTIVE's hand. KEVIN and MRS TRAN watch in distress. The DETECTIVE withdraws his hand from the second MALE ANGEL’s body. The ANGEL’s face is covered with black veins and black good is running from his nose and mouth. He slides to the ground. The DETECTIVE turns towards KEVIN and MRS TRAN, morphing into EDGAR as he does so.
EDGAR<br />
Hello, Kevin.
END
