No, CassCas. No! [DEAN raises his hand towards CASTIEL, but CASTIEL breaks his wrist, we hear the bone snap. DEAN groans in pain.]<br>

No, CassCas, don't. [CASTIEL looms over DEAN, raises his angel blade.] Please. [CASTIEL buries the weapon into DEAN's chest. DEAN chokes. CASTIEL wrenches the blade from DEAN's chest, DEAN falls back, dead. Focus is on DEAN's face, blood running out of his mouth. We hear the click of switches, the buzz of electricity, the lights come on. NAOMI walks into the room.]<br>

Wait a second. CassCas. How about you answer some questions first? Like, where the hell have you been?<br>

Well, he puts the "ass" in "CassCas," huh?<br>

CassCas! What the hell was that?!<br>

CassCas!<br>

CassCas? CassCas? Damn it. [They rush out.] Go. Go. Go.<br>

You know, you're much cuter when you're shutting up. So, which Cass Cas are you now? Original make and model or crazy town?<br>

All right, Cass Cas and I will head in and get our Indiana Jones on. Sam, you stay outside with Meg.<br>

No, you're not fine. You haven't been fine since the first trial. That's why I called CassCas.<br>

How did you get out of Purgatory, CassCas?<br>

CassCas. CassCas, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you, but if you're in there and you can hear me, you don't have to do this. [CASTIEL attacks, DEAN blocks the blow with the stone.] CassCas! [Flashes of light, thunder rumbles.]<br>

CassCas, fight this! This is not you! Fight it! [CASTIEL strikes again, DEAN again uses the stone to block the blow. Thunder rumbles.]<br>

CassCas! [DEAN puts his hand on CASTIEL's shoulder. CASTIEL backhands DEAN who is thrown into a wall and falls to the floor.]<br>

CassCas... This isn't you. This isn't you. [CASTIEL raises his fist to attack DEAN again.]<br>

Ohh! [DEAN, seriously beaten and bloody, now has one eye swollen shut.] CassCas. CassCas. [Weakly, reaching towards CASTIEL.] I know you're in there. [CASTIEL raises his angel blade, ready to strike.] I know you can hear me. CassCas... [DEAN's voice breaks, pleading.] It's me. [CASTIEL stands there, blade at the ready, light glints off the blade.] We're family. We need you. I need you.<br>

CassCas. [CASTIEL drops the blade with a clang. DEAN groans and pants in pain. CASTIEL reaches down for the angel tablet, as he picks it up, the Enochian writing begins to glow, the light flows up his arm, surrounding his entire being, the room, DEAN.]<br>

CassCas? [Breathing heavily, he's horribly beaten.] CassCas? [CASTIEL reaches his hand towards DEAN.] No. CassCas. CassCas! [CASTIEL places his hand on the side of DEAN's head, DEAN gasps, and is suddenly healed.]<br>

At least long enough for Dean and Cass Cas to get the tablet and get out.<br>

From me? What are you talking about? [CASTIEL and the tablet are suddenly gone, the sound rumbles through the crypt.] CassCas? CassCas! Damn it.<br>

Dean! [SAM comes barreling into the crypt.] Dean. Where's CassCas?<br>

No Cass Cas in the back seat. Your stone is long gone. [MEG stabs CROWLEY in the shoulder using the angel blade, sparks fly.]<br>

So... what happened? I mean, Cass Cas touched the tablet, and it reset him to his factory settings or something?<br>

Well, you heard what Cass Cas said -- that that first trial hurt you in ways that even he can't heal. Sammy, I need you to be honest with me from here on out, man.<br>
