TEASER
[Scene opens on an inmate laying on his bunk in his cell.
Scene changes to a back view of a prison guard walking down the cellblock banging his night stick on the cell doors.
The guard looks into on of the cells and continues walking.]
GUARD 1
Lights out in five.
[Switch back to inmate who sits up on his cot.]
INMATE
Hey, any mail?
[Guard stops outside the cell as inmate looks out the small window in the door.]
GUARD 1
Oh, the usual ...postcards from anti-penalty folk, proposals from your lady admirers.
You said you were done with those.
[Guard walks away from cell.]
INMATE
Hey, how's your wife, by the way ... Amanda?
That's her name, isn't it?
You know I killed an Amanda once?
My fourth. I'd do your wife the same, buddy, only slower.
[Guard turns around and walks back towards cell, facing inmate.]
GUARD 1
Two weeks from Tuesday Tommy.
[Guard walks away]
TOMMY
Yeah.
Let's do it!
Let's do it now, tonight!
[Guard is at gate at the end of the row. He signals to a guard (Guard 2) who is watching the surveillance cameras to open the gate. After Guard 1 is through the gate Guard 2 steps away from the cameras to get coffee. We see his perspective of the various camera views of the prison.
Switch to Tommy in his cell. He sits on his cot and hangs his head.
Switch to a long view of the cellblock. We hear electricity crackling and we see a view from the floor of a man’s legs stepping in front of the locked gate. The light blink off and when they come back on the man is on the other side of the gate.
Switch to Guard 2 making his coffee as Guard 1 walks into the room, and back to the cellblock where the man is walking down the row.]
GUARD 2
Tolliver giving you the usual grief?
GUARD 1
Nothing new.
[Switch to a front view of the man (who we now see is Cain) walking down the cellblock, the lights going out as he passes each cell. Scene switches a few times between Tommy in his cell and Cain’s feet walking down the row.]
GUARD 2
I can't wait till he's gone.
[Guard 1 glances at the monitors and sees Cain walking down the darkened cellblock. He walks closer and sees Cain standing outside Tommy’s cell. Tommy looks out his window. The camera monitors blink off and when they come back on the cellblock is lit and Cain is gone. The Guards look at each other and shrug their shoulders.
Switch to Tommy in his cell looking nervous. He turns around and Cain is standing in his cell.]
TOMMY
Who the hell are you?
How'd you get in here?!
CAIN
I've gone by many names in this life.
The father of murder is one of them.
And by the state's count, you've taken six lives yourself, Tommy.
Although by my count, it's nine.
[Tommy is circling around Cain with his back to the cell walls.]
CAIN
Oh, come on.
You aren't one of those "it wasn't me" type fellas, are you?
[Tommy clenches his hand into a fist at his side.]
Because I know you're a killer, just like me.
TOMMY
[Smiling and getting ‘wide-eyed’]
Yeah, I did it.
CAIN
Honesty.
[Tommy throws a punch towards Cain. Cain grabs Tommy’s fist and holds it in the air]
That's good.
That's the spirit!
[Cain flings Tommy’s arm down to the side and we see the handle of his knife sticking out between them]
TOMMY
Ugh!
CAIN
Now, I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here.
Did I come to punish you, or save you?
Well...
[Cain pulls the knife from it’s sheath and leans and whispers into Tommy’s ear]
The truth is, Tommy...I'm here to do both.
[Cain stabs Tommy in the stomach. We see the tip of the knife come out the back of Tommy’s shirt. A single drop of blood drips off the blade and Cain and Tommy disappear.]
Title Card
ACT ONE
[The Impala driving down the road. We see on the screen ‘Polunsky Unit, Livingston, West Virgina’.]
DEAN
The Zodiac?
SAM
Seven victims.
[Switch to interior of the Impala]
DEAN
Dahmer?
SAM
17.
DEAN
That's some freaky stuff, man. It's a whole new side of you.
SAM
It's called true crime, Dean. It's a hobby.
DEAN
No. Bass fishing, needlepoint ...that's a hobby, okay? Collecting serial-killer stats ...that's ...that is an illness.
[The Impala turns into the prison entrance]
Get your badge.
SAM
Yeah.
[They pull up to an intercom at the prison gate.]
VOICE ON INTERCOM
Hello, gentlemen. State the nature of your visit.
DEAN
From the office of the Inspector General.
Got an appointment with the warden.
VOICE ON INTERCOM
Thank you. Parking is to the left. Look for visitor parking only.
DEAN
All right, so what are the stats on this, uh, vanishing act here?
SAM
Tommy Tolliver was convicted of six murders back in '09, but those are just the ones that stuck.
According to the news, he escaped from a locked cell on death row, this inexplicable, Houdini-esque escape.
[As the gate is slowly opened and Sam and Dean pull through the gate we see several views of the outside of the prison, armed guards on horseback, guards in the guard tower]
DEAN
So what are we thinking?
Some sort of a mass-murdering magician?
SAM
Yeah, Or a teleporting demon or a who knows what that can walk through Supermax walls.
Could be in our wheelhouse.
DEAN
Yeah, your wheelhouse.
"Hobby."
[Scene changes to the prison Warden crouching down in Tommy’s cell, presumably looking at the drop of blood on the floor.]
DEAN
Warden Skeiff?
[The Warden stands up and faces Sam and Dean at the entrance to the cell]
SAM
Uh, Inspectors Moore and Ranaldo.
We spoke on the phone.
WARDEN
Yeah. Welcome to death row.
Have a look.
[Sam and Dean enter the cell]
But good luck finding anything out of TDJC compliance.
[The Warden leaves the cell and Dean signals to Sam to follow the Warden. Sam turns to leave as Dean pulls the EMF detector out of his pocket.]
SAM
So, why don't you tell me what happened?
WARDEN
The night Tolliver disappeared, our little ship was running as tight as ever, and I got documentation to prove it.
SAM
Do you stand by what the press is saying ...
[Dean is walking around the cell with the EMF detector and crouches to test under Tommy’s cot.
SAM
…locked cell, no security breach, no guard misconduct?
WARDEN
Which press? Mainstream media is calling for my head, said I was grossly incompetent. But the tabloids, they're saying ...
SAM
They're saying it's magic That Tommy pulled off some dark miracle to escape. You saying you believe that?
WARDEN
I'm saying there was some kind of magician on the block last night, but it wasn't Tommy. [Scene changes to the surveillance room (Sam, Dean, Warden Skeiff and a guard sitting at the monitors).]
WARDEN
That's right before Tolliver vanished. [Switch to a view of the monitors. The three camera views on the bottom go dark and come back on] SAM
Was that a brownout?
WARDEN
That was my thought, but then...
[We see the view of Cain walking onto the cellblock]
SAM
Is it one of the guards?
WARDEN
Nope.
But I don't know who he is, how he got in, or how he and Tolliver got out.
DEAN
Can you zoom in on that?
WARDEN
Can and have. Too dark to make out much of anything.
Do it.
Freeze it.
Blow it up.
[Dean stares at the image of Cain on the monitor and holds his forearm as Sam looks over.]
[Scene changes to man tied to a chair (image is blurry) in an abandoned room (office maybe?). On a desk in the foreground a cell phone is ringing, the screen shows
Incoming Call DEAN
MAN IN CHAIR
Gonna answer that?
CASTIEL (off screen)
Not at this moment.
[Switch to the man’s face. He has red hair and black eyes]
DEMON 1
You're wasting your time.
[Phone continues ringing in the background]
I told you, I don't know where he is.
Me and Cain ain't friends.
He kills demons.
Low-level guys like me keep our distance.
CASTIEL
You sure about that?
[Castiel comes around from behind the demon and slices his arm with an angel blade]
DEMON 1
All right!
All right.
[Demon’s eyes clear to normal as Castiel stands in front of him]
He's been seen, past few months, making passes through Bogg's marsh, one county over.
No one knows why, what for.
Like I said, we keep our distance.
[Castiel points the top of the angel blade directly in front of the demons eye]
CASTIEL
And that's all you know.
Yes.
Yes, I swear.
Castiel drops the blade by his side. The demon exhales loudly and hangs his head in relief.]
CASTIEL
Okay.
[Castiel stabs the demon in the stomach with the angel blade]
DEMON 1
Aaaaah!
[Castiel stands as the demon dies. We hear a voice off-screen]
DEMON 2
86 last quarter,…
[Scene changes to a hand held video game. There is a blurry image of a person off to the side]
… while I only get credit for 48.
[Camera pans from video game to Crowley. Another demon (Demon 3) is standing to the side behind him]
DEMON 2
A-and I was working with Alban on nearly all of those soul jobs.
CROWLEY
[while playing video game] If you don't arrive at a point within the next 10 seconds, so help me, I'll ...
[switch to face view of demon who was speaking off camera]
DEMON 2
As a crossroads demon, I have received less credit than I am due for soul collections... my king.
[Crowley smirks and roll his eyes]
CROWLEY
So you're looking for a promotion?
[Wide view of room shows Demon 2 standing with papers in his hands and several other demons sitting around him]
DEMON 3
No. I'm just asking...
I'm merely suggesting that I get credit for the work that I did beside Alban.
Equal credit for equal work.
CROWLEY
Fine. You can have your credit.
Thank you.
[Rowena is in the background, sitting on a chair and doing needlepoint. Or something similar]
ROWENA
The wee man! Ugh!
CROWLEY
Mother, you have, uh, an opinion you'd like to share with the room?
[Rowena leans forward in her chair to look at Crowley]
ROWENA
Oh, no.
Private thought, nothing to do with you or the affairs of the court.
It's just not what I would do.
CROWLEY
Oh, enlighten us all. What. Would. you do?
ROWENA
This demon asks you to equalize credit for his and another's work ... split the baby, if you will.
Well, (laughing) then I would well and truly split the baby.
[The demon looks over to Rowena fearfully]
I'd cut this puling, pathetic, greed-grubbing git in two, literally, then I'd nail his bloody halves to the doors of the court ... a reminder to all not to waste the king's time.
Whiners beget whiners.
You can't reward behavior like that ... why I never gave in when you asked for sweeties as a child, no matter how much you cried.
Well, you were a very... (puffs out her cheeks) chunky child, darling.
Bit of a bloater.
CROWELY
That's enough.
DEMON 3 (who was been standing at Crowley’s side)
What'll it be, sir?
CROWLEY
Let's do...
What she said.
DEMON 2
Wha...
N-no, no, no!
[Two demons come forward, grab Demon 3 under the arms and drag him from the room]
No, no, no, no!
DEMON 3
Come on!
ROWENA
That's my boy.
[Scene changes to Dean walking away from a food truck, talking on his cell phone and carrying a try with food and drinks. He hangs up the phone and gets into the Impala]
SAM
So?
DEAN Cass is still not answering.
SAM
[sitting in the passenger seat with his laptop open] Great. Well, I have been looking into Tommy Tolliver, seeing if I can figure out why Cain went to the trouble of springing him.
DEAN
And?
SAM
Still pretty unclear. I did find this blotter out of Orlando about his dad, Leon Tolliver. Uh, like father, like son. Convicted felon, fresh warrant for an assault charge, but he's gone missing, hasn't been seen in a week.
DEAN
You think the two are connected?
SAM
I mean, the police just assumed he fled the warrant, but if Cain took Tommy, it might not be a coincidence.
DEAN
So, what, Cain's got a vendetta against the entire family?
SAM
Maybe.
[Dean’s cell phone rings and he pulls it out of his pocket]
DEAN It's Cass.
[Puts phone on speaker]
Hey, where you at?
CASTIEL
Illinois.
DEAN
Hey, Cass, we got a lead.
Cain abducted a Texas death row inmate named Tommy Tolliver.
[Switch to Cass crouching down in a wooded area holding a white sneaker with the letters ‘TDJC’ on the bottom]
CASTIEL
He's dead.
DEAN
What?
How do you know?
CASTIEL
Call it an educated guess.
Cain has been very busy.
[Castiel stands up and looks around. Camera pulls back to show Castiel standing a clearing surrounded by dozens of fresh graves]
DEAN
Okay, where are you? We'll come to you.
[Camera view of someone watching Castiel through tree branches. Castiel looks around uncomfortably.]
CASTIEL
I'll call you back.
[Castiel turns around and Cain is standing there]
CAIN
Hello, Castiel.
ACT TWO=
[Scene opens on Cain and Castiel standing among the fresh graves.]
CASTIEL
What have you done?
CAIN
These bodies? Just cleaning up a mess I made a long time ago.
CASTIEL
Cain, I know what you were. But you'd resisted for so long.
CAIN
What can I say? I got the taste back.
[Cain walks closer to Castiel as he talks]
With Abaddon's army gunning for me, I had to take up arms again, and I liked how it felt.
CASTIEL
Those were demons.
These... [Cains crouches down and picks up a muddy stuffed teddy bear]
CAIN
Humans. Eh, the Mark thirsts for all kinds.
CASTIEL
This is a massacre.
CAIN
Yes. And soon it'll be a genocide.
[Cain drops the bear]
My children, my whole poisoned issue.
A lot of them out there right now ... killers, fighters, thieves, some more peaceful than others.
But they still carry it ... the disease.
If the Mark wants blood, I'll give it mine.
CASTIEL
You'll kill them all? You are Adam and Eve's firstborn. Your descendants are Legion.
CAIN
At most, I'm culling...1 in 10.
CASTIEL
Of everyone.
CAIN
I've got time. How's Dean, by the way? I hear he did good, took Abaddon down. He's not well.
CASTIEL
Even with the First Blade hidden, Dean is losing his fight against the Mark. If we don't find a cure...
CAIN
There is no cure. I'm living proof of that. But don't worry about Dean. I'll get to him, in due time.
[Castiel slides the angel blade out of his coat sleeve and into his hand.]
Sorry, Castiel. You're not on my list.
[Cain disappears]
[Scene changes to Crowley and Rowena walking down a corridor in hell]
ROWENA
Crowley…
[They stop walking as Crowley turns to Rowena]
Long day. I'm sure you must be tired.
But I've had a wee idea.
CROWLEY
Yes?
The name Olivette means little to you.
A high-ranking member of the grand coven, the one who led the charge against me.
Really, it's a grudge. I won't even deny it.
But she's just come back to the states, and I thought if you, in your kingly beneficence, would be so kind as to assist me, now would be an excellent time to strike.
CROWLEY
Well done, Mother.
Next time you run a long con, let more than a few hours of suspicious, entirely uncharacteristic usefulness pass before making your ask.
ROWENA
You think I had an ulterior motive, that I've been manipulating you?
CROWLEY You couldn't be more transparent.
ROWENA
(laughing) Well, duh!
Of course I was manipulating you!
I am your mother, after all.
Manipulation's who we are.
CROWLEY
Oh.
ROWENA
My wee sausage, what matter is it that I had a motive?
We had fun today, didn't we?
CROWLEY
It was fine.
ROWENA
We could have more.
Get out of this dump, a break from these foul-smelling suck-ups, flex our muscles in the real world and in the process take out a miserable, old witch who's been standing in my way for centuries.
What do you say?
[Crowley looks at Rowena and turns and walks away]
[Scene changes to Castiel Sam and Dean in the bunker. Sam and Dean are moving around the table. Dean is looking at files and Sam goes to the laptop.]
CASTIEL
I'm sorry I couldn't bring better news, Dean.
DEAN
It's not your fault, Cass.
SAM
Thank you.
All right, the sheriff gave me a few more names, some preliminary I.D.s on the bodies.
DEAN
And?
SAM
And it seems to fit Cass's story.
I mean, there's no way to tell the relation to Cain, obviously, but he's wiping out entire families, one after another.
DEAN
(sighing)
So who's next? Is he done with the Tollivers?
SAM
Uh, I think so.
I mean, Leon didn't have any siblings or any other children I can see, and Tommy was never married, so I...
[Information scrolls on the computer screen]
Oh, come on. Damn it.
CASTIEL
What?
SAM
Tommy did have a son, estranged, who lives with his mother in Ohio, uh,…
[a birth certificate pops up on the computer screen]
…Austin Reynolds, 12 years old.
DEAN
Is the kid still alive?
SAM
[Sam opens up a Facebook page]
As of an hour ago, yeah.
He updated his status.
But, I mean, come on. It's a kid.
You don't really think Cain would ...
CASTIEL
Yes, he would.
DEAN
There were old men in those graves, Sam, women.
I mean, you heard Cass.
It's a fire sale. Everyone must go.
[Dean turns and walks away]
SAM
Where you going?
[Dean turns back to face Sam and Castiel]
DEAN We know where Cain's gonna be. The kid's in danger.
SAM
Okay, so what, we track him down to Ohio, and then what?
DEAN
Then I'll do what I have to do.
[Camera closes in on Deans face]
I'll kill Cain.
ACT THREE
[Scene opens with Dean pulling a shotgun off of the wall in his room in the bunker. He turns and puts into a bag he’s packing on his bed. Sam walks in.]
DEAN
When he gave me the Mark, Cain said that this day would come, that after I killed Abaddon, I would have to come and put him down.
SAM
Great. So you're taking orders from a madman.
DEAN
No, he wasn't mad then.
[Camera turns towards Sam and we see Castiel in the doorway to Dean’s room behind Sam]
Cain resisted the Mark for a long time, then I came, kicking up trouble about the Blade.
I sent him down this path. This is on me.
SAM It doesn't mean you have to be the one to go after him.
DEAN
Yes, it does. And there's only one thing that can kill him.
SAM
The Blade.
[Castiel walks into the room between Sam and Dean]
CASTIEL
Dean's right.
SAM
Dean, wielding the Blade against Cain himself...
[Dean holds his hand over the Mark]
...win or lose, you may never come back from that fight.
DEAN
I know.
[Scene changes to Rowena and Crowley talking in a chamber in Hell.]
ROWENA
I'll need a demon force to get us past her security. 2 units of 10 should suffice.
Once we're inside, we'll want to throw her off guard, mess with her head a little bit.
So I thought... [Rowena holds up a small dark amber colored bottle]
Rune of Amaranth.
[Cellphone ringing]
CROWLEY
Illusion work. Smart.
[Crowley holds up his cellphone and we see ‘Not Moose’ on the screen.]
Excuse me. I'll be right back.
[Crowley walks away and picks up the call]
Well, well, well, if it isn't ...
DEAN
[Dean’s in his room in the bunker]
Cain's back. He's gone dark, and I need the Blade.
CROWLEY
Why would I do that for you?
DEAN
Because you have as much reason to want Cain off the board as anyone.
Cain has a kill list, and you're on it.
[Dean raises his eyebrows]
What do you say, Crowley? You in?
CROWLEY
Yes.
DEAN
Good. I'll text you the location.
[Dean grabs his duffle off his bed and walks out of his]
[Scene changes to Crowley walking back into the chamber where he and Rowena were talking]
ROWENA
Once she's well flustered, I've got an especially nasty spell to finish her off with.
CROWLEY
Mother, it's not happening.
ROWENA What?
CROWLEY
Not today.
ROWENA
Where are you going?
CROWLEY
Something's come up.
Olivette can wait.
Crowley opens a panel in the wall and pushes a button. A drawer opens up underneath containing the First Blade in a leather wrap]
This can't.
[Crowley takes the blade out of the drawer, closes it and faces Rowena]
ROWENA
Is that what I think it is?!
CROWLEY
Not that it's any of your business.
ROWENA
Let me guess.
Bringing it to your wee pal, the Winchester boy.
You'd give that to the one person who can harness its power against you.
He's a threat to you!
CROWLEY
We've a common enemy, a bigger threat.
ROWENA
Well, if he's not a threat to your life, he's certainly a threat to your credibility.
We've talked about what this does to your reputation.
CROWLEY
We are not having this conversation.
ROWENA
Consorting with hunters!
Oh, me. Oh, my.
[Crowley walks out of the chamber and down a hallway. Rowena yells after him.]
You honestly believe that they're your friends, that they care about you?!
[Scene changes to nighttime outside a barn. The letters ‘REYN’ can be seen on the side of the barn. The remaining letters are obscured by a shadow. Castiel walks up to Sam and Dean who are standing a ways away from the barn.]
DEAN
Kid here?
CASTIEL
He's nearby. Upstairs in the barn. He's playing with a basketball.
DEAN
Cain will strike soon. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, but soon.
[Dean looks over to Sam]
And when he does ...
SAM
Yeah, I got it. You charge in with the Blade solo. And the kid? What, we just watch and wait until Cain attacks? I thought this was a rescue mission.
DEAN
We save the kid after Cain shows.
CASTIEL
We know what Cain's after. That's our only advantage. We want to trap Cain, we use it.
SAM
A 12-year-old as bait. I can’t believe what I'm hearing.
CROWLEY
[off-screen] Neither can I.
[Sam, Dean and Castiel turn to face Crowley who is walking up to them]
DEAN
What's the matter, Crowley? You suddenly grow a conscience? Too good to put a minor in danger?
CROWLEY
Don't give a damn about the kid. I'm talking about the risk to us.
DEAN
There is no us. You're here for one reason. That's to hand me the Blade.
CROWLEY
Yeah, about that.
Seeing as this is shaping up to be one of those, uh, two-step capture then kill kind of deals,
I think your buddies would agree it's better to keep the Blade out of your hands until we've got Cain sewn up, just to be safe.
[Dean looks at Sam. Sam shrugs his shoulders in agreement]
CROWLEY
Now, back to this plan of yours.
[Scene changes to Austin playing basketball inside the barn. Sam watches from outside the barn window. Sam turns towards Dean who in turn walks over to Sam. They stand facing each other]
SAM
So...
If this works and we capture Cain, then what?
DEAN
We'll cross that bridge when we c...
If we come to it.
You know last week, when I said that I would go down swinging when the time came? I meant that I was at peace with that. I just didn't realize the time would come so soon, you know, like right now.
I'm scared, Sam.
[Scene changes to outside of the barn. Austin walks out of the barn carrying a basketball. He has earbuds in his ears and we hear music playing.]
- ...down in Mexico *
- got hitched
in the house of gin *
- my hangover will never end *
[Austin stops abruptly and turns around.]
AUSTIN
Someone there?
[Austin turns back around and Cain is standing there]
CAIN Hello, Austin.
AUSTIN
What are you doing here?
CAIN
I'm here to kill you.
[Cain pulls his knife from under his coat]
CASTIEL
No, you won't.
Run!
[Austin runs toward the barn. Sam meets him at the door and guides him inside]
CAIN
You can't stop me.
[Castiel raises his hand towards Cain. His eyes glow bright blue and light emanates from his hand. Cain’s hair blows back a little, as if a breeze went by. Castiel returns to normal and looks puzzled. Cain points his knife at Castiel and flicks it to the right. Castiel’s angel blade flies out of his hand. Cain then flicks the knife to the left and Castiel flies through the air and crashes into the side of a truck, landing in the truck bed. Cain walks towards the barn.
Scene changes to Sam inside the barn sliding the doors closed. Austin is standing behind him, further into the barn. There is banging on the doors as Sam holds them closed. The banging stops and Sam turns away from the doors to see Cain standing behind Austin. Austin turns around and faces Cain.]
AUSTIN
Don't. Please don't.
[Cain looks over to Sam and stabs Austin in the stomach. Austin disappears in a cloud of purple smoke]
CAIN
Illusion spell.
SAM
Oh, yeah. The real Austin is long gone.
CAIN
18th-century magic.
[Crowley walks into the barn as Cain is talking.]
CAIN
If I had to hazard a guess, Rune of Amaranth.
CROWLEY
Good eye. Something I picked up from my mother.
CAIN
Well, I know you fear me. I can only assume...
[Cain uses his boot to clear away some hay from the floor to uncover a Devil’s Trap.]
CAIN
Oh. Clever. Won't hold me for long, you know.
SAM
It won't need to.
[Sam and Crowley walk out of the barn, as they pass through the doors Cain looks up and Dean is standing outside the barn looking in at Cain. The doors slide closed.]
[Outside the barn Castiel walks up to Sam, Dean and Crowley, rubbing his head]
SAM
Cass, hey, you okay?
CASTIEL
I'm fine.
It worked?
SAM
Yeah.
DEAN My turn.
SAM
Dean, look, we want to help.
DEAN
No. No, with you in the ring, it'd just be a liability.
CASTIEL
Dean?
DEAN
I'd be too worried about what he could do to you... Or what I could. Plus, I need you three out here to take out whatever comes out of there. And I'm serious. I mean whatever comes out.
CROWLEY
Happily.
[Crowley is standing next to Dean. Dean holds up his hand and Crowley holds up the First Blade.]
CROWLEY
What guarantee do I have that you'll give it back when you're done?
DEAN
If I survive and I come out of there and I don't give it back, you'll all have a much bigger problem on your hands.
[Crowley hands Dean the blade.]
SAM
Dean?
DEAN
I'm good.
[Dean walks up a flight of stairs, looking over towards Sam, Castiel and Crowley. He gets to the top and slides open the barn doors. He closes the door and takes a few steps.
ACT FOUR
[Dean is in the barn with Cain. Cain is still inside the Devil’s Trap]
CAIN
Hello, Dean. At a loss for words, my son? Allow me.
This is the part where you tell me it's not too late and I can lay down arms, abandon my mission.
"We don't have to fight".
DEAN
[Dean is walking towards the Devil’s Trap as he speaks]
I'll spare us the formalities. You're past talking down. Cain, you're fully mental.
CAIN
Oh, I prefer to think I've finally gotten clear.
[Cain is walking around the Devil’s Trap as he speaks.]
When I made my bargain with Lucifer, killed Abel, I released a stain upon the earth, a stain deeper and far more lasting than mere precedence.
DEAN
Your bloodline's tainted, so you say.
CAIN
So I know.
[Cain stops walking]
Not all killers are my descendants, and not all my descendants are killers, but enough are, enough for me to know that extinguishing them is the least I owe this world.
Can you honestly tell me that humanity's not better off with fewer Tommy’s and fewer Leon’s...
Fewer you’s?
DEAN
And what about the kid?
CAIN
He could go either way. I prefer to be thorough.
[Dean is standing at the edge of the Devil’s Trap]
How's it feel, Dean, to be holding the Blade again?
DEAN
[Dean raises the First Blade from his side and looks at it.]
It feels like a means to an end.
[Dean steps into the Devil’s Trap.]
CAIN
Then do it.
[Dean makes several attempts to stab Cain with the blade. Cain evades them all and throws Dean to the ground. Dean gets up and tries again, and again Cain throws him to the ground. Dean punches Cain and as he swings the blade up and Cain grabs his wrist. They are both struggling to control the blade.]
CAIN
That seems a bit weaker than I would expect from you with the Blade.
[Cain looks Dean in the eyes.]
I think you can do better.
[Dean punches Cain on the face.]
CAIN
Unless...
[Dean punches Cain again.]
CAIN
You're holding back.
[Dean lunges at Cain and Cain grabs both his hands. They remain in that grip, struggling for the blade.]
CAIN
What is it, Dean?
Do you think if you hold back just enough, you won't succumb, that you'll leave this fight the same as you entered?!
[Cain throws Dean to the ground.]
Look to my example, boy! There is no resisting the Mark or the Blade. There is only remission and relapse! [yelling]
[Cain punches Dean savagely.]
DEAN
You told me that this day would come. You told me that I would have to kill you.
CAIN
Is that so?
[Cain holds out his hand and flings Dean across the barn and through a window.]
I'm afraid you've misunderstood my intentions here, Dean. When your pet angel found my burial site, I thought about ending him and swatting him like a fly.
[Dean gets up and walks back towards Cain].
CAIN
But then I thought about you.
Your biggest weakness, the thing I noticed the moment I met you, your courage, your reckless bravado.
I let him go, knowing that he would report back to you, knowing you would bring into battle the one thing that can kill me, the one thing I truly want.
[Cain holds out his hand and the First Blade flies out of Dean’s hand slides along the ground and into the Devil’s Trap. Cain stops it with his boot and picks it up/]
CAIN
Oh, it's been too long. That old feeling makes me wonder how I ever had the strength to resist.
[Dean runs to attack Cain. Cain grans him by the throat and throws him to the ground.]
This may be hard to believe, in light of what I'm about to do to you, but I care about you, Dean.
I truly do. But I know I'm doing you a favor. I'm saving you.
DEAN
Saving me from what?
CAIN
From your fate. Has it never occurred to you? Have you never mused upon the fact that you're living my life in reverse? My story began when I killed my brother, and that's where your story inevitably will end.
DEAN
No. Never.
CAIN
It's called the Mark of Cain for a reason!
First ... first, you'd kill Crowley.
There'd be some strange, mixed feelings on that one, but you'd have your reason.
You'd get it done, no remorse.
And then you'd kill the angel, Castiel.
Now, that one ... that I suspect would hurt something awful.
And then!
[Cain lunges to the ground and grabs Dean by the shoulder. As Cain is talking, Dean sees his knife tucked under his coat.]
Then would come the murder you'd never survive, the one that would finally turn you into as much of a savage as it did me.
DEAN
No.
CAIN
Your brother, Sam. The only thing standing between you and that destiny is this Blade. You're welcome, my son.
[Cain raises his hand to plunge the First Blade into Dean. Dean grabs Cain’s knife from his belt and cuts off Cain’s hand that is holding the First Blade. Blood spurts from his wrist. Cain falls over, grabbing his wrist. Dean gets up and grabs both blades as Cain gets to his knees.]
CAIN
What's the matter?
DEAN
Tell me I don't have to do this. Tell me that you'll stop. Tell me that you can stop!
CAIN
I will never stop.
[Dean walks behind Cain as Cain lowers his head. He raises his arm up and plunges the First Blade into Cain.]
[Dean walks down the stairs to where Sam, Dean and Crowley are waiting.
SAM
Dean?
CROWLEY
Dean, the Blade.
[Dean looks at the blade, walks toward Crowley and then hands the blade to Castiel]
CROWLEY
You lied to me.
DEAN
It's not the first time today. Cain's list ... you weren't on it.
[Dean collapses onto Sam, he holds him up.]
SAM
Hey, hey, hey. You did it. Dean, you did it.
[Dean looks devastated as he looks over Sam’s shoulder.]
ACT FIVE
[Scene change to Rowena and Crowley in the chamber. Crowley is pouring himself a drink.]
ROWENA
Fergus...
CROWLEY
I don't want to hear it, the "I told you sos," not now.
[Camera pans to the ground to show two bags on the floor.]
CROWLEY
What are you doing?
ROWENA
What's it look like? I'm leaving.
CROWLEY
Another petty manipulation.
ROWENA
No.
CROWLEY
Then what, mother? [yelling] What do you want from me?!
ROWENA
[Crying] You can't understand my disappointment... or my pride.
You don't know this, but after I left you, after I was forced to leave you, I heard of your death ... your mortal death.
I thought you were gone to me forever.
Then, hundreds of years later and thousands of miles away, I find you, the King of Hell, and not by luck or accident.
You made that happen all by yourself.
You're not a mother.
You can't know what that pride felt like, how huge it was.
But can you try to imagine, for me?
Now do you understand why it breaks my heart to see what a colossal numb nut you've become?!
You've got the crown, but you're no ruler, not really!
A sad, bored, wee boy on the throne who'll flop ass-up the second those Winchesters ...hunters who'd as soon see you dead as have you to tea ... ask you to.
You're no king, not anymore.
You're their bitch.
[Rowena walks away.]
[Scene changes to Sam and Dean in the bunker. Dean, cut up and bloody, is sitting at the table drinking coffee while Sam stands by the coffee maker and pours a cup of coffee.]
SAM
Dean, um, you know, what you did back there, it was incredible. You know, if you can do that without losing yourself,..
[Sam sits at the table across from Dean]
…that's cause for hope, even without a cure.
DEAN
Yeah.
Maybe.
[Castiel walks into the room]
DEAN
So, where's the Blade?
CASTIEL
Somewhere safe.
DEAN
Good. Well, if you guys will excuse me, I think I am gonna go sleep for about four days.
[Dean gets up from the table and walks out of the room. As he passes Castiel he pats him on the shoulder.]
SAM
Of course.
CASTIEL
How is he?
Sam?
SAM
Cass...
[Sam looks as if he’s about to cry]
SAM
Dean's in trouble.
