TEASER
INT. STRIP CLUB - DREAM
Soundtrack over the first part of the scene (with dancers): Cherry Pie by Warrant (1990)
DEAN is seated on a couch in front of a small stage lit from below. An erotic dancer performs for him: skinny, hot, white, brunette, and dressed in a "sexy devil" outfit.
DEAN
Oh, I take it all back. I love the devil.
She continues dancing; he shuts his eyes for a moment and opens them to see that a second dancer -- blonde and dressed in a "sexy angel" outfit -- has joined the first.
DEAN
Now, that's what I call peace on earth.
They lean over him, hovering near a kiss, then part as the song comes to an abrupt end, revealing ANNA. She stares at him.
DEAN
Anna?
(shifting uncomfortably)
I was just, uh, working on a case.
ANNA
(teasing)
This is what you dream about.
DEAN
This is awkward. Why are you gate-crashing my head? Why don't you just swing by the motel?
ANNA
I can't find you.
DEAN
Oh. Cas did this thing.
ANNA
Cas. Right. Now, there's a friend you can count on.
DEAN
What?
ANNA
He didn't tell you?
DEAN
Tell me what?
ANNA
Where I've been. Of course not. Why would he?
DEAN
Where have you been?
ANNA
Prison. Upstairs. All the torture, twice the self-righteousness.
DEAN
Why wouldn't he have told us where you were?
ANNA
Because he's the one who turned me in. Don't look so shocked. He was always a good little soldier. Did anything under orders.
DEAN
I didn't know. Are you okay?
ANNA
No. And I don't have long. I broke out, barely. They're looking for me. If they find me…
DEAN
Okay. What do you need?
ANNA
Meet me. Two-two-five Industrial. And, please, just hurry.
INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT.
DEAN wakes abruptly and sits up, breathing heavily.
INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
ANNA enters a dark space, presumably the meeting place. Wind blows, incorporeal voices murmur.
ANNA
Hello? Who's there?
Light bulbs overhead burst in showers of sparks. ANNA turns slowly, and CASTIEL appears behind her.
CASTIEL
Hello, Anna.
ANNA
Well. If I didn't know any better...
(turning to face him)
I'd say the Winchesters don't trust me.
CASTIEL
They do. I don't. I wouldn't let them come.
ANNA
And why is that?
CASTIEL
If you're out of prison, it's because they let you out. And they sent you here to do their dirty work.
ANNA
And what makes you so sure?
CASTIEL
Because I've experienced... Heaven's persuasion.
ANNA
You mean when you gave me to them.
CASTIEL
That was a mistake. Anna, whatever they sent you here to do --
ANNA
They didn't send me. I escaped.
CASTIEL
No one escapes.
ANNA
All these centuries, and you're underestimating me now?
CASTIEL
If you're not one of them, then what do you want?
ANNA
I want to help.
CASTIEL
You want to help?
ANNA
Yes.
CASTIEL
Then what are doing with that knife?
ANNA
I'm not allowed to defend myself?
CASTIEL
Against whom? That blade doesn't work against angels.
(shifting to reveal a long blade in his right hand)
It's not like this one. Maybe you're not working for Heaven. But there's something you're not telling me.
ANNA
Sam Winchester has to die.

ACT ONE
INT WAREHOUSE : NIGHT
ANNA:I am sorry but we have no choice, he's Lucifer's vessel
CASTIEL:He's not the only one
ANNA: What Nick? He's burning away as we speak. No. Sam is the only vessel that matters. You know what that means? If Lucifer cant take Sam his whole plan short circuits. No fight with Michael, No Croatoan Virus, The Horsemen go back to their day jobs.
CASTIEL:Even if you could kill Sam, Satan wouldnt just brin him back to life.
ANNA: Not after I scatter his cells across the universe. (CASTIEL turns away) They'll never find him. Not all of him.
CASTIEL: We'll find another way.
ANNA: How's that goin? How's the Colt workin out? Or the search for God? Is anything working? If you want to stop the Devil, this is how.
CASTIEL: The answers still no... because Sam is my friend.
ANNA: You've changed.
CASTIEL: Maybe too late, but I have. (CASTIEL turns back to ANNA) And I know we've been through much together, but you come near Sam Winchester and I'll kill you.
(ANNA looks afraid and disappears before CASTIEL)
EXTERIOR LAWRENCE, KANSAS 1978, DAY
(A couple are sitting in a car smoking. When they lean in for a kiss they hear a rumbling noise and ANNA slams down on the hood of their car. Blood is coming out of her mouth. The couple jump in shock.)
MAN: Oh my God! Hey. Hey. Are you okay?
Woman: Oh my God, we have to get her to a hospital.
(The couple pick her up and help her into their car. The camara zooms out on the 'GREASE' movie poster, showing the audience that ANNA is back in time.)
INTERIOR SAM and DEAN'S MOTEL ROOM, NIGHT
(CASTIEL is drawing a symbol in chalk on a table as SAM and DEAN watch.)
DEAN: Really, Anna? I don't believe it.
CASTIEL: It's true
DEAN: So she's gone all 'GLEN CLOSE', thats awesome.
(CASTIEL straightens from the table looking confused)
CASTIEL: Who's Glen Close?
DEAN: No-one, just this psycho bitch who loves to boil rabbits.
(SAM is sitting on a bed in the background)
SAM: So the plan to kill me, would it actually stop Satan.
DEAN: No Sam, come on.
SAM: Cas, what do you think? Does Anna have a point?
CASTIEL: No. She's uh..... Glen Close.
(SAM doesn't look relieved)
DEAN: I dont get it, we are looking for the chick that wants to gank Sam, Why poke the bear?
CASTIEL: Anna will keep trying, she wont give up until Sam is dead. So we kill her first.
(CASTIEL pours an oil into a bowl that is sat on the table and chants in latin until the bowl flashes a red flame. CASTIEL suddenly steps away from the table and leans on the back of a chair, eyes closed and breathing heavily. The boys look at him with concern)
CASTIEL: I've found her.
DEAN: Where is she?
CASTIEL: Not where. When. It's 1978.
SAM: What? (He stands to join DEAN and CASTIEL) Why 1978? I wasn't even born yet.
CASTIEL: You wont be if she kills your parents.
SAM: What?
CASTIEL: Anna can't get to you because of me. So she's going after them.
DEAN: Take us back right now.
CASTIEL: And deliver you right to Anna? I should go alone.
DEAN: They're our parents Cas, We're going.
CASTIEL: It's not that easy.
SAM: Why not?
CASTIEL: Time travel was difficult even with the powers of Heaven at my disposal.
SAM: Which got cut off.
DEAN: So what, you're like a Delorean without enough Plutonium.
CASTIEL: I don't understand that reference, but I'm telling you, taking this trip with passengers no less. (Shakes his head) It'll weaken me.
DEAN: They're our Mom and Dad. If we can save them, and not just from Anna, I mean if we can set things right. We have to try.
(CASTIEL packs a duffel bag and turns to face SAM and DEAN)
CASTIEL: Ready?
(SAM pulls a bag on his shoulder)
SAM: Not Really.
DEAN (over his shoulder to Sam): Bend your knees
(SAM ducks down a little as CASTIEL touches their foreheads with his fingers)
FADE TO BLACK
EXTERIOR 1978 STREET, DAY
(SAM and DEAN land in the middle of the road and nearly get run over, they try to cross over to the right but nearly get hit again, they both stand on the street baffled)
SAM: (sighs) Ya think we made it?
DEAN: Unless they're bringing 'PINTOS' back into production then I'd say yes.
(They turn to walk down the street only to find CASTIEL leaning against a car, his nose is bleeding and looks in pain. SAM and DEAN rush to his side)
DEAN: Cas? Hey. Hey. Take it easy. Are you alright?
CASTIEL: I'm fine. I'm much better than I expected.
(SAM grips onto CASTIEL to help him up but CASTIEL vomits blood and falls unconcious)
DEAN: Whoa
SAM: Cas?
(SAM puts his hand in front of CASTIELS mouth which is dripping with blood.)
SAM: He's breathing. Sort of. What do we do?
