INTERIOR – WAREHOUSE – NIGHT
[A woman is sitting in a chair, her hands tied to the back. There is a devil’s trap on the floor. She is a demon.]
DEMON
Never been caught by a human before. You some kind of hunter?
[NICK walks into the room.]
NICK
No. No, I know a couple. Picked up some tricks. And a few other things.
[NICK points an angel blade in the demon’s face.]
DEMON
Well, if you’re not a hunter, let’s make a deal.
NICK
Mnh-mnh. No deals.
[NICK makes a cut on the demon’s cheek with the angel blade.]
DEMON
What do you want?
NICK
Abraxas. The last demon I killed said you and Abraxas made quite the team. Until he was captured by a hunter. You left your pal in the lurch, but you know who got him.
DEMON
If I was there. The hunter who caught him, who almost got me -- why would I protect them? Hell, I can even tell you where to find ‘em. So… no need for any of this.
NICK
Oh, I don’t know. Where’s the fun in that?
[NICK lifts the angel blade to the demon’s neck.]
DEMON
Hibbing! She’s in Hibbing, Minnesota.
[NICK smiles. The demon’s eyes flash black as she smiled. NICK lifts the angel blade and stabs it through her eye. She screams.]

Uh, going back through the Book of Jubilees. You know, the way they classify angels is – is – it’s really interesting.

Find anything on Michael?
SAM
Not yet, but I… but I… but I just started.
[DEAN nods.]
SAM
We’ll find a way.
DEAN
Man, I-I-I… I appreciate it, you know, you… trying.
SAM
Well, yeah. Of course. I mean, always. You wanna hop in, help out? I got plenty to go through.
DEAN
Actually, I-I – I thought I’d go for a – drive, you know? Just me and Baby, long stretch of road. And figured I’d make it a twofer – I’d go see mom at, uh, Donna’s cabin.
SAM
Yeah. Yeah, th-that’s sounds great. Be good to see ‘em. Just let me, uh, find a stopping point and get packed up.

Uh, actually, I was, uh… was kinda hoping for some one-on-one time with mom, if that’s cool.
SAM
Ye – uh… sure, yeah. Whatever you need.
DEAN
Okay.

Take care, Sammy.

MARY
Yeah, he called last night.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – DAY
[MARY is sitting at the dining table, cleaning her weapons. SAM is on speaker phone.]
MARY
Said it was just a supply run, but I’ll take any excuse for a visit. Cabin’s been a little quiet lately.
INTERIOR – BUNKER LIBRARY – DAY
[SAM is walking through the bunker.]
SAM
Quiet?
MARY
Yeah, uh, Bobby took off for a few days.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – DAY
MARY
It’s fine. Just after everything that happened with his son, we needed a little space.
SAM
Yeah.
MARY
Sam?
INTERIOR – BUNKER – DAY
SAM
Sorry, I’m just – I’m worried, you know? Ever since we locked Michael up, Dean’s been acting strange, and he just packed up and left, and then, uh…
MARY
And what?
SAM
He hugged me.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – DAY
MARY
That’s sweet.
INTERIOR – BUNKER – DAY
SAM
Mom, we don’t hug. I mean, w-we do, but only if it’s literally the end of the world, you know?
MARY
Sam, he’ll be here soon. I’ll look after him. I’ll get to the bottom of this.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – DAY
[MARY continues cleaning her weapons.]
SAM
Yeah, alright. M-maybe it’s like you said, you know? Maybe he just needs some space, like Bobby.
MARY
Yeah. Well, and until we know for sure, we have to respect that.
SAM
Yeah, you’re right. Uh, I-I… Yeah, uh… talk soon.

[SAM hangs up the phone. He notices a book missing from the shelf.]
EXTERIOR – HUNGRY BEAVER BURGERS – DAY
[DEAN bites into a burger. DONNA sits across from him, eating.]
DEAN
Mmm. Oh, my God.
DONNA
What? You thought I was joking? Best burger in Minnesota.
DEAN
Best burger ever.
DONNA
Glad it satisfied.
DEAN
Oh. So good.
DONNA
So, Dean.
DEAN
Have you seen Jody lately, hmm? The girls?
DONNA
Oh yeah. You know, I split my time as much as I can, help Jody with their training. Last month, we took down a Vetala nest. Alex, little miss “I don’t want to hunt”, she killed two all by herself.
DEAN
Get out of town! Good for her.
DONNA
Anyhoo…
DEAN
Now, what about you? How’s sheriffing going? I know it was a little tough last time, what with, uh…
DONNA
Doug, yeah.
DEAN
Mmhmm.
DONNA
Yeah, you know, the split was rough. Doug’s working private security now, up in Duluth.
DEAN
Okay.
DONNA
Any more questions?
DEAN
Huh?
DONNA
Just wondering if you’ve run out of ways to ask me how I’m doing, so as to avoid me repaying the favor. I know you were just possessed. Again.
[DEAN looks confused.]
DONNA
Sam. He had us all out, looking for you. And I know you got an archangel hitching a ride up there in your noggin.
[DEAN looks confused again.]
DONNA
Also Sam.
DEAN
What does he got? A freakin’ newsletter?
DONNA
I’m just saying, all that, it can’t be easy, you know?
[DEAN and DONNA look at each other.]
DEAN
Well… I’ll make it through, okay? That’s all we can do, right?
DONNA
Right.
[DEAN smiles.]
DEAN
Couldn’t come through town without seeing my D-train, so thanks for meeting me.
[DONNA smiles.]
DONNA
Oh yeah.
[They both stand up from the table.]
DEAN
Come here.
[DEAN hugs DONNA tight.]
DONNA
Ohh. You betcha.
[They pull away from each other.]
DEAN
I’ll see ya, Donna.
[DONNA looks worried as DEAN leaves.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – DAY
[DEAN pulls the Impala up to the back of the cabin. He gets out but turns as he hears a gunshot. He takes out his gun as he hears more gunshots and hurries to the back of the cabin. He has his gun ready as he turns the corner but sees MARY shooting pumpkins in the backyard. He puts his gun down.]
DEAN
Hey, mom.
MARY
You’re here.
[DEAN and MARY hug.]
DEAN
Yeah. Thought I’d stick around for a couple of days, if that’s cool.
MARY
Of course. Uh, Bobby’s gone. We have a big couch and a pull-out.
DEAN
Perfect.
MARY
Awesome. You know, if you wanted to make it a full reunion, we could call Sam over.
DEAN
Yeah, you know, I was thinking I’d actually be a little greedy with my Mom time, if that’s cool.
MARY
Well, I just thought, you know, if you’re staying a few nights…
DEAN
I don’t want Sam here.
MARY
Everything alright?
DEAN
Yeah, no. You know what? I just – I’m – I’m hangry, okay? Long drive, haven’t eaten, and, uh, I’m starving, actually.
MARY
Well, uh, the delivery options are a little limited this far out, and we both know I’m not much of a cook.
DEAN
Well, there’s one thing you can cook better than anybody on the planet.
[MARY thinks it over.]
MARY
Winchester Surprise?
DEAN
Yeah.
MARY
I can’t believe you remember that. I can’t believe I ever fed that to you and John. It was so greasy, like… heart attack on a plate.
DEAN
A delicious heart attack on a plate, okay? I would like mine with extra cheese.
MARY
Alright, then.
DEAN
Yes!
[MARY walks to her truck.]
DEAN
Oh, and uh…
MARY
Pie.
[MARY pulls away from the cabin. DEAN watches her leave.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – DAY
[DEAN opens the trunk of the Impala and takes out the duffle bag. He walks to the shed, opens the door and turns on the light. He notices the posters of shirtless men with moustaches on the walls.]
DEAN
Well, Donna certainly has a type.
[DEAN notices an old cassette player in the corner. He walks over to it but bends over. He sees MICHAEL slamming against the door in his mind. DEAN tries to focus on his surroundings, as MICHAEL continues to scream inside his head. DEAN shakes his head. He walks over to the cassette player.]
DEAN
Alright.
[DEAN takes a cassette out and puts it in the player. The music starts. He turns around and gets to work. He measures things and sets books and papers out on the table. He starts welding. Metal falls on the floor as he continues to work.]
EXTERIOR – GROCERY STORE – DAY
[MARY is carrying grocery bags and a case of beer to the truck. Someone touches her shoulder and she turns around.]
JOE
Hey. Need a hand?
MARY
Hey, Joe. Thanks.
[JOE puts the groceries in the back of the truck.]
JOE
That’s new.
MARY
What?
JOE
You buying food. I just mean, you usually only pick up whiskey, pumpkins and crossword puzzles.
MARY
Well… crosswords do get better with whiskey. And I got family in town.
JOE
Oh, nice. Well, enjoy.
MARY
Thanks.
JOE
See you later.
[MARY gets into the truck.]
EXTERIOR – GROCERY STORE – DAY
[JOE is pushing carts in the parking lot. NICK pulls up in a blue van, and calls out to JOE.]
NICK
Hey, man. Excuse me.
JOE
Hey. Can I help you?
NICK
Yeah, yeah, I think you can. I’m looking for a friend of mine – Mary Winchester.
JOE
Sorry. I don’t know her.
NICK
Well, she told me to meet her here in Hibbing, so if you could just point me in the right direction, we’re all good, you know?
[JOE says nothing.]
NICK
Thanks for nothing, pal.
[NICK drives away. JOE takes out his phone and dials a number.]
EXTERIOR – HIBBING, MINNESOTA – NIGHT
[NICK is driving. He passes a police car, which starts to flash its lights. It stops and turns to stop behind the van.]
NICK
Ah… damn it. Oh, come on, man.
[NICK stops the van and turns off the engine. He looks down at the knife on the passenger seat. He takes out a paper clip from the sun shades. The officer walks up to the van and flashes their light at NICK. It is DONNA.]
DONNA
Hiya.
NICK
Evening, Officer.
ACT TWO
EXTERIOR – HIBBING, MINNESOTA – NIGHT
[DONNA pushes NICK against the van and puts handcuffs on him.]
NICK
You can’t – I didn’t do anything.
DONNA
Oh, sure ya did. You see, I ran the plates, and this van here? Belongs to an 80-year-old lady in Missoula.
NICK
Yeah. My Grammy, she lets me borrow it.
DONNA
No. Grammy reported it stolen two weeks ago. And word has it you’re looking for a friend of mine, Mary Winchester.
NICK
No, I-I-I talked to the kid about renting a place for fishing.
DONNA
Oh. Huh. You catch a lot of fish with that Arkansas toothpick you got there on the passenger seat? So… what’s your name?
NICK
Nunya.
DONNA
What’s that?
NICK
First name, eat. Last name, me.
DONNA
Okay.
[DONNA pushes NICK into the van. She takes out something from her pocket.]
DONNA
You see this? Mobile fingerprint scanner. Cost the force a pretty penny, but I figured it’d come in handy.
[DONNA puts NICK’s finger against the device.]
DONNA
You won’t give it to me straight… but this will.
[DONNA waits for the results to show. NICK takes out the paper clip and starts to pick the lock on the handcuffs.]
DONNA
Uffta. You’re a long way from Delaware, Nick.
[DONNA turns around. NICK pushes her against the van. She pushes at his face as he tries to grab her. He drops her to the ground, but she pushes herself up. She slams him against the van, her gun to his neck.]
DONNA
Okay, sicko. That’s enough.
[NICK tasers DONNA. She falls to the ground.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN walks out of the shed. MARY pulls up to the cabin. He walks over to meet her and help her with the groceries.]
DEAN
Hey.
MARY
Hey. What were you doing out there?
DEAN
Oh, I, uh… oh, here. You know, I’m just, uh… taking a look around. Come on inside. I got a surprise for you.
[MARY looks back at the shed before following DEAN inside.]
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN walks into the kitchen and puts the bags on the countertop. There are two place settings at the dining table.]
MARY
What’s all this?
DEAN
Well, I wanted to make sure everything was ready for you. And I thought I’d, uh – I’d give you a hand, you know? Two terrible cooks teaming up. What could possibly go wrong?
[DEAN looks at MARY.]
DEAN
What?
MARY
Nothing.
[MARY smiles, but it morphs into a worried expression once his back is turned.]
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN is in the kitchen. He takes a dish out of the oven. MARY is on the phone with SAM.]
SAM
Listen, mom, I-I… I think I should come up. Uh, there’s some stuff missing from the bunker, and –
MARY
Sam, I don’t know what’s going on, but something is going on. Just give me some time. Let me talk to him, okay?
SAM
Okay, yeah. Um, yeah. Alright, mom.
[SAM hangs up the call. He is in a car, driving.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
DEAN
He comes back, he’s standing there,
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN is sitting across from MARY at the dining table.]
DEAN
He’s soaking wet, and he’s pulling balogna and sliced cheese out of his pants.
[MARY covers her mouth and laughs.]
DEAN
So, me being the big brother, I’m the cook. I take all that baloney, all that sliced cheese, and I put it onto a hot plate.
MARY
No.
DEAN
Yeah.
MARY
Oh.
DEAN
It stunk up that room so bad. Dad comes home, and he is so mad. He picks up everything, chucks it in the trash. Probably reminded him of you, and… Anyway, it did not taste right. It didn’t taste like this.
MARY
Oh. Sometimes I forget just how much I missed while I was gone and how much the two of you just…
DEAN
But you’re here now, right? And even though the last couple of years have been a little rough, just knowing that you’re around, that you’re alive… Mom, that’s meant everything to me. And everything to Sam.
[MARY smiles at DEAN.]
DEAN
And how great is this, hm? You and me, sitting here, eating the real thing, not some Baloney version of Winchester Surprise? You know, we’re not fighting any monsters. There’s – there’s no clouds on the horizon.
MARY
Dean?
DEAN
Mm-hmm?
MARY
Whatever you’re going through, you can talk to me.
DEAN
Everybody keeps asking how I am. And how I am… is I don’t want to talk about it. Please.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN is asleep on the couch, snoring. MARY walks down the stairs quietly, making sure DEAN is asleep. She walks out of the cabin.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[MARY opens the door to the shed and walks in.]
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN SHED – NIGHT
[MARY turns on the light. She looks around the room at the things Dean has left there. She picks up a piece of paper and looks at it.]
EXTERIOR – HIBBING, MINNESOTA – NIGHT
[DONNA wakes up in the police car.]
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN SHED – NIGHT
[MARY continues to look around the room. She flips through the lore books kept on the table. She finds a book and looks through it, in shock.]
MARY
No. No, no, no.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN is snoring on the couch. His cellphone rings. He wakes up, feeling around for it. He looks at the screen.]
DEAN
What?
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN SHED – NIGHT
MARY
Oh, God.
[MARY walks out the door.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[MARY stops when she sees someone in front of her.]
NICK
Hey.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[MARY’s cellphone is ringing. DEAN picks it up.]
DEAN
Hey, Donna. It’s Dean. What’s up?
INTERIOR – POLICE CAR – NIGHT
DONNA
He got the drop on me. Dean, he’s going after your mom.
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
DEAN
He who?
DONNA
Uh, some guy named Nick.
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DEAN leaves the cabin and walks down the path. He hears something rustle behind him, and turns, aiming his gun. It’s SAM.]
SAM
Dean! Whoa, easy! Dean, what’s going on here?
DEAN
It’s mom. She’s gone.
ACT THREE
EXTERIOR – HIBBING, MINNESOTA – NIGHT
[NICK’s van is parked on the side of a road.]
NICK
The demons, they know where you are.
INTERIOR – NICK’S VAN – NIGHT
[MARY is sitting across from NICK.]
NICK
They keep track of you, you and your kids. There’s sort of scared of you. So wherever you are, they’re not. So that’s how I got to Hibbing. I didn’t have an address. Luckily, that – that perky sheriff lady – what’s her name? Deborah? Debbie? Something? Whatever. She had, um… She had some emails on her cellphone talking about you and her family cabin. So, voila! Here I am. I know that’s a lot to take in, but… And if you feel like screaming, you can – you can go ahead, ‘cause we’re… pretty remote.
MARY
Nick? What are you doing?
[NICK gets up and sits right in front of MARY.]
NICK
Tonya Baker. Yeah, you knew her. You saved her life. Yeah, her whole Girl Scout troop was murdered. She was the only survivor, thanks to you. These two demons were about to finish her off, and then you came in, and you chased one away. But you faced off against the other one, a demon named Abraxas.
MARY
I remember. So?
NICK
So, Abraxas murdered my family the same way he killed those girls – bloody, brutal, slow.
MARY
I’m sorry, Nick. But you could’ve just asked me. This is…
NICK
Crazy? Hm? What would you have told me?
MARY
That I killed him. Abraxas is dead.
NICK
So, you would’ve lied to me. His friend got away, but she saw everything. You didn’t kill Abraxas. You trapped him in a box. How’d you do it?
MARY
Uh –
[NICK grabs MARY and holds a knife to her neck.]
NICK
Tell me.
MARY
Okay, you’re right. I trapped him. We fought, and he was winning. So, I put him in an Enochian puzzle box. He’s contained.
NICK
Do you have him?
MARY
No. But I can take you to him.
EXTERIOR – UL-2MAT STORAGE – NIGHT
[NICK drives into the storage area. A security guard watches the van drive in.]
EXTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
DONNA
I got his tags,
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN – NIGHT
[DONNA walks in and faces SAM and DEAN.]
DONNA
Put my guys on it, they’re running ‘em. I’m sorry.
DEAN
It’s not your fault, Donna.
SAM
It’s mine. Nick said when he left he was just gonna go home. I-I didn’t know he was…
DEAN
Killing people?
[DONNA’s radio cracks.]
OFFICER
Sheriff?
DONNA
Yeah. Go for Hanscum.
OFFICER
We got that van you were looking for. A traffic cam just caught it pulling into a storage facility outside Grand Rapids.
DONNA
Copy that. I got it from here.
DEAN
How far is Grand Rapids?
DONNA
30, 40 minutes.
DEAN
We’ll be there in 20.
[DEAN walks out of the cabin. DONNA follows him.]
EXTERIOR – UL-2MAT STORAGE – NIGHT
[NICK pulls the van up to the unit. He gets out of the van and MARY follows. Her hands are tied. He pushes her towards the door. She gestures to him to open the ties, but he pushes her back to the door. She opens the lock.]
INTERIOR – STORAGE UNIT – NIGHT
[NICK pushes MARY into the unit and turns on the light.]
NICK
Alright, where is it?
[MARY says nothing.]
NICK
Okay, if you do this, we’re done. You walk. Okay?
MARY
Over there.
[MARY gestures to lockers behind a gate.]
NICK
You first.
[MARY walks forward and steps over something. NICK steps up behind her but notices a trip wire. The trip wire is attached to a shotgun.]
NICK
Clever.
[NICK steps over the trip wire, then cuts it with the knife.]
NICK
Alright, where is it?
MARY
In the lockers. Too bad I forgot the keys.
[NICK picks up a hammer and breaks the lock on the gate in front of the lockers. He grabs MARY’s arm and pushes her in.]
NICK
Which one?
[MARY keeps quiet.]
NICK
Alright, fine.
[NICK breaks a lock on a locker and opens it, seeing a bloody head in a jar inside. He looks at MARY, and she shrugs. He opens another locker and sees a doll in plastic bag inside. He breaks another lock and then looks at MARY once the locker is open.]
NICK
Bingo.
[NICK takes out the box and hands it to MARY.]
NICK
Open it. Me and ‘Brax-y have to have a talk.
MARY
Well, that’s not gonna happen.
NICK
I’m sorry?
MARY
To talk, a demon needs a host. It can’t be you. Can’t be me.
[MARY lifts up her shirt to show her anti-possession tattoo.]
MARY
Didn’t really think this through, did you, Nick?
NICK
So, I’ll improvise.
EXTERIOR – HIGHWAY – NIGHT
[Thunder cracks. A police car drives on the highway. The Impala follows.]
INTERIOR – IMPALA – NIGHT
[DEAN is driving. SAM sits in the passenger seat.]
SAM
Say it. I can see you want to. Might as well go ahead and say it.
DEAN
Alright. Nick is not a project. He’s a freakin’ puppy. He was Lucifer’s vessel for years.
SAM
I know that, Dean. I thought -
DEAN
You thought he’d what? Just walk it off? Come on, man. You’re not that dumb.
SAM
It’s not about being dumb, Dean. It’s called compassion. Look, what happened to Nick could’ve happened to me. It almost happened to me. You change one little thing in our past, and that was me. Lucifer wearing me to the prom. And besides, since when do we give up on people? Since when do we just cut people loose?
DEAN
Well, maybe you need to learn, okay? ‘Cause when people are past the point of saving, maybe you need to learn to walk away.
[SAM turns away from DEAN and looks out the window.]
ACT FOUR
INTERIOR – STORAGE UNIT – NIGHT
[NICK has the Enochian box in his hands. A man is sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, a devil’s trap around him. NICK takes off the cover from his head. It is the security guard.]
MARY
Nick, don’t do this.
SECURITY GUARD
Do what?
MARY
You let that demon out of there, he could kill us.
NICK
I can handle it. How do you open this thing?
MARY
I don’t know.
NICK
Mnh. I don’t like you.
[MARY looks at the guard before she lunges at NICK, and kicks him in the leg. The box falls on the ground. MARY pushes it away. It lands in the devil’s trap. NICK punches her in the face. He drags her to the gate, and pushes her against it.]
NICK
I said I can handle it.
[NICK picks up the box. He tries to turn the button on it and it starts to turn, but it does nothing and locks again. He throws it on the floor. He sees an electric screwdriver on the table and picks it up.]
NICK
I think there’s only one way to get into this box.
[NICK plugs in the screwdriver and walks over to the box. He starts to drill a hole into it.]
NICK
Come on, baby.
[The demon smoke comes out of the box, floating into the security guard. The demon, ABRAXAS wakes up and sees he is trapped. He looks at MARY.]
ABRAXAS
Heya, blondie.
[ABRAXAS blows MARY a kiss.]
ABRAXAS
Missed ya.
NICK
Why did you kill my family?
ABRAXAS
Who’s he? Sorry, you’re gonna have to be more specific.
NICK
Pike Creek, Delaware.
ABRAXAS
Oh… no way. Nick? What are you doing walking and talking? I thought the big man had you on lock.
NICK
Lucifer’s dead.
ABRAXAS
Is he? Cool.
NICK
Why did you kill my family?
ABRAXAS
Kill your family, yeah, got it. Tell you what – I’ll answer that when you kill her.
[ABRAXAS looks at MARY.]
ABRAXAS
She locked me in a box, and I hold a grudge. Do her slow and bloody, then we’ll chat.
MARY
Nick.
[NICK takes a knife out from his pocket. He lifts MARY up from the ground.]
MARY
Nick, no. Nick, hey! Don’t – stop – n-no!
[A gunshot hits the gate, hurting the side of NICK’s head. He moves away from MARY.]
SAM
Get away from her! Stay back.
[SAM and DEAN enter the room. DONNA follows behind them. SAM and DONNA have their guns aimed. DEAN rushes over to MARY, and takes the ties off her hands.]
SAM
Is she alright?
DEAN
She’s good.
SAM
What’s wrong with you? What are you doing?
NICK
What I have to.
[NICK picks up the angel blade and cuts the devil’s trap.]
MARY
No, Nick!
SAM
No!
[The warding on the devil’s trap lights up and fades.]
ABRAXAS
Showtime.
[ABRAXAS rips the ties off, and gets up from the chair. He lifts his arms up, and everyone in the room floats up in the air. He puts his arms down, and they all fall to the ground. He walks over to NICK.]
ABRAXAS
You want to know why I gutted your family? Orders. I was following orders.
NICK
From who?
ABRAXAS
Who do you think? Lucifer planned the whole thing.
NICK
I don’t – I don’t understand. Why my family? Why – why me?
ABRAXAS
No particular reason. You were chosen, but you’re not special. We threw a dart at the phone book.
[DEAN gets up from the floor.]
DEAN
Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica –
ABRAXAS
Naughty.
[ABRAXAS slams DEAN back against the shelves. He turns back to NICK.]
ABRAXAS
So… who dies first?
[MARY stands up, a blade in her hand. NICK grabs ABRAXAS from the back of his neck and stabs his chest with the angel blade. The orange light flickers as ABRAXAS screams. NICK takes the angel blade out. ABRAXAS falls to the floor, dead.]
[NICK moves back, the angel blade still in his hands.]
SAM
Nick. Nick, take it easy.
[MARY walks toward NICK. He tries to swing the angel blade at her, but a gunshot rings out, the bullet hitting his leg. He falls to the floor. DONNA gets up, gun in hand. MARY punches NICK in the face, knocking him out.]
ACT FIVE
EXTERIOR – UL-2MAT STORAGE – NIGHT
[DONNA walks NICK out to the police car, his hands cuffed at his back. MARY, DEAN and SAM follow them out. DONNA opens the door to the police car, as SAM walks over. DEAN and MARY stand next to the Impala.]
DEAN
You okay?
MARY
Yeah, I’m fine.
SAM
Donna. Hold on.
[DONNA waits with NICK.]
DONNA
Yeah. Sure.
[SAM stands in front of NICK.]
SAM
Why?
NICK
I needed the truth, Sam. I needed revenge for my family. You would’ve done the same thing.
SAM
I’m sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you. I’m sorry I didn’t know how.
NICK
It’s not about you, Sam. It’s never about you. You couldn’t fix me ‘cause I don’t want to be fixed. I was never broken.
SAM
Yeah, Nick, you are. I don’t feel sorry for you, Nick. I feel sorry for the people you hurt, the people you murdered, the people whose faces will haunt you… every night for the rest of your life. You can burn.
[SAM nods to DONNA. She steps forward and takes NICK, pushing him into the police car.]
DONNA
Mind your head.
[MARY and DEAN watch from where they are standing.]
MARY
I saw, Dean. Donna’s shed. I know what you’ve been building, planning. And we’re gonna talk about that. We are all three of us gonna talk about that. So if you don’t tell Sam… I will.
[DEAN nods.]
INTERIOR – DONNA’S CABIN SHED – NIGHT
DEAN
It’s a Ma’lak box.
[DEAN closes the door to the box. He and SAM are standing over it.]
DEAN
Secured and warded. Once inside… nothing gets out, not even an archangel. Especially an archangel.
SAM
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve – I’ve read about these, but – but no one’s ever – they’re impossible to build.
DEAN
Yeah, well, not so much.
SAM
That’s your plan? You want to be buried alive?
DEAN
Buried’s not safe enough. Plan is, pay a little hush money, charter a boat to take me out to the Pacific. Splash.
SAM
You and Michael, trapped together – for eternity?
DEAN
Yeah.
SAM
You do realise how insane this is, right?
DEAN
It’s the only sane play I’ve got. Michael gets out, that’s it for this world. And he will get out.
SAM
Well, how do you know that for sure?
DEAN
Because I do. Because I can feel him in my head. That door is giving. I can feel it giving.
SAM
But there has to be another way.
DEAN
There’s not, okay? There – Sam you’ve tried. Cas has tried. Jack… And I love you for trying. But none of it’s gonna work.
SAM
We don’t know that.
DEAN
Yeah, we do.
SAM
What?
DEAN
Billie.
SAM
Billie?
DEAN
She paid me a little visit. She said that there’s only one way this ends right. And this is it. This, right here, this box. So, she gave up the special recipe, and all I had to do was the work. It’s fate.
SAM
Since when do we believe in fate?
DEAN
Now, Sam. Since now.
[SAM shakes his head.]
SAM
So… you came out here to see Donna, to see mom on some – some what? Some sick, secret farewell tour? You were gonna leave, and you weren’t even gonna tell me. Me. Do you realise how messed up that is, how unfair that is?
DEAN
I didn’t have a choice! Sam, you’re the last person I could tell, the last person I could be around, ‘cause you’re the only one that could’ve talked me out of it. And I won’t talked out of it. I won’t. I’m doing this. Now, you can either let me do it alone… or you could help me. But I’m doing this.
[SAM shakes his head. He turns away. He looks back at the box and nods.]
SAM
Alright.
