NOW
INT. LIGHT PLANE. NIGHT.
The small plane is being battered by bad weather.
STAN (PILOT)
How you doing?
PENNY
I'm great. This is great.
STAN
Penny, it's gonna be okay. You know, a lot more people die in the shower.
PENNY
Good to know. Thanks.
STAN
I didn't think we'd run into any weather, though.
PENNY
Look, can we just land? Please?
STAN
Couple minutes. All right? We're close. I'm sorry.
Outside the window, Penny sees a large shape.
PENNY
What was that?!
STAN
What?
PENNY
Something just flew by the window! It was huge!
STAN
Probably just a bird, okay?
PENNY
No! No, Stan,
that was not a bird.
STAN
Well, then, what was it?
PENNY
I don't know.
STAN
Penny, there's nothing out there. I promise. Hey, just close your eyes, okay? It's okay. Just lean back. Try to relax. Think of someplace nice. Waves on a beach.
PENNY
Stan?!
Something pulls Stan out of the cabin, leaving Penny alone in the plane.
PENNY
Oh! Oh, my God! No, no, no, no, no, no!
ACT ONE
INT. PANIC ROOM AT BOBBY'S PLACE. SAM LIES ON A COT, HOOKED UP TO AN IV. OUTSIDE THE ROOM DEAN IS ANXIOUS. CASTIEL EXISTS THE ROOM.
DEAN
Well?
CASTIEL
His soul is in place.
DEAN
Is he ever gonna wake up?
CASTIEL
I'm not a human doctor,
Dean.
DEAN
Could you take a guess?
CASTIEL
Okay. Probably not.
DEAN
Oh, well, don't sugarcoat it.
CASTIEL
I'm sorry, Dean, but I warned you not to put that thing back inside him.
DEAN
What was I supposed to do? Let T- walk around, hope he doesn't open fire?
CASTIEL
Let me tell you what his soul felt like when I touched it. Like it had been skinned alive, Dean. If you wanted to kill your brother, you should have done it
outright.
DEAN looks around the basement. CASTIEL is gone. SAM is still sleeping.
INT. BOBBY'S LIVING ROOM.
DEAN sits down at the desk across from BOBBY, who pours him a drink.
BOBBY
Like my daddy always said, "just 'cause it kills your liver don't mean it ain't medicine." Sam still asleep?
DEAN takes a drink. So does BOBBY.
DEAN
Yeah.
BOBBY
He'll wake up.
DEAN
Yeah.
BOBBY
Dean, he's been through how much? Somehow, he always bounces back.
DEAN
He's never been through this.
DEAN spots the newspaper printout BOBBY is looking at.
DEAN
Job?
BOBBY
Might be.
DEAN
Can I help? Send me to the library? Anything?
BOBBY
Couple goes up in a light plane. Wreckage was just found in the woods.
DEAN
Couple of Buddy Hollys? Doesn't really seem like "news of the weird."
BOBBY
Pilot was found miles away, flambéd. Girl's just gone. No body, no nothing.
DEAN
Okay, I'm not changing the channel.
SAM
Dean.
SAM has entered the room. DEAN stands up, turning to face him.
DEAN
Sam?
SAM hugs DEAN, then BOBBY.
BOBBY
Good to see you.
SAM
Wait. I saw you—I—I felt Lucifer snap your neck.
BOBBY
Well, Cas kind of—
SAM
Cas is alive?
DEAN
Yeah, Cas—Cas is fine. Sam, are you okay?
SAM
Actually, um...I'm starving.
INT. BOBBY'S KITCHEN
SAM is eating a sandwich.
DEAN
So, Sam...
SAM
Yeah?
DEAN
...What's the last thing you remember?
Flashbacks to 5.22 Swan Song.
SAM
The field. And then I fell.
DEAN
Okay. And then?
SAM
I woke up in the panic room.
BOBBY
That's it? You really don't remember—
DEAN
Let's be glad. Who wants to remember all that hell?
SAM
Well, how long was I gone?
DEAN
About a year and a half.
SAM
What? I was downstairs f— I don't remember anything. So, how'd I get back? Was it Cas?
DEAN
Not exactly.
SAM
Dean, what did you do?
DEAN
Me and Death—
SAM
Death?! The horseman?
DEAN
I had leverage. It's done.
SAM
You sure?
DEAN
It's over. Slate's wiped.
BOBBY
Well, isn't this just neat and clean?
DEAN
Yes, it is—for once.
SAM
Is there anything else I should know?
DEAN
No.
DEAN
Another beer?
SAM
Uh, yeah.
DEAN gets up.
EXT. BOBBY'S YARD
DEAN
Hey.
BOBBY
How is he?
DEAN
He's, uh...He's good. Really good. Better than I could have hoped.
BOBBY
Uh-huh.
DEAN
What? Why the poopface?
BOBBY
I'm glad he's better. I really am. But... That kid went straight-up Menendez on me not days ago. And now it's all just...erased? Sorry. I'm having a bit of a hard time even looking at him.
DEAN
It wasn't Sam.
BOBBY
Well, maybe it wasn't all Sam, but it was him, Dean.
DEAN
Well, what do you want to do, Bobby? We tell him everything?
BOBBY
No. Just wish I could, that's all.
DEAN
Yeah, but if we start throwing that crap at him, we don't know what's gonna happen. It could—it could crack the wall.
BOBBY
I know. I know.
DEAN
So, you know what? As far as I'm concerned, it's a gift horse, and I'm not looking for teeth. I'm sending Death a damn fruit basket.
BOBBY
He's gonna find out, you know. One way or another, someone will tell him, or he'll figure it out on his own. He's not dumb. He should it hear it from us.
DEAN
Can we just leave it alone for the moment, please?
BOBBY
Okay. But you better prep for the B side, 'cause when Sam realizes we're shining him, it ain't gonna be cute.
Sam still asleep?
Yeah, let him rest. We'll call him later.
Call me from where?
Oh.
Uh, there's this thing in Oregon.
Great. I'm in. Whoa, whoa.
You just got vertical.
Exactly. I'm up. I'm good.
Well, a few more days of crap cable couldn't hurt.
Right. Because that's what you did when you got back from hell.
All right.
You, me, and Bobby.
Oh, you two go on ahead. You got this covered.
I, uh, forgot I promised that idjit Rufus
I'd work the phones for him, so...
You sure?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You two enjoy catching up, okay?
What was that?
One part age, three parts liquor.
Uh, you got it, officer. Thank you.
You too.
So, get this -- besides the crash,
there were two other disappearances in town this week.
Really? Yeah, last weekend,
a college girl vanished from her apartment.
On the th floor.
Then, three days ago, another girl didn't make it home from school.
They know each other? No. No connection.
Just young and female, like the plane-crash girl.
What would disappear a girl out of the sky, anyway?
Good question.
So you never even tried, huh? Tried?
To go live a life...After.
You do remember you promised that, right?
Yeah, I remember.
So, why didn't you try?
What makes you think I didn't?
'Cause look at you. Look at this.
You're exactly the same.
Yeah, you're probably right.
I was with them for a year -- Lisa and Ben.
A year?
So then what?
Didn't work out.
ª It was a new day yesterday ª
ª but it's an old day now ª
You're, uh...Penny Dessertine's sister, right?
Mm-hmm.
Uh, we'd just like to ask you a few questions.
Look, the cops already came by. I'm tired.
So, if you don't mind --
I-I understand. Really, I do.
I know how hard this must be.
We'd just like to figure out what happened.
This will be quick. I promise.
Okay. Fine. Come in.
Penny was very shy. To herself.
Not at all what you'd call adventurous.
What, like flying through a lightning storm in a two-seater?
She was terrified of that thing.
She just did it for Stan.
Stan?
They were just starting to get serious.
She didn't want to seem, you know...Not interested.
I just wish I'd told her to stay home.
We don't even have a body to bury.
Hey. What do you got?
Uh...
Well, looks like those other two missing girls
both baked cookies for the lord.
What is that? Code? No.
Church choir, bake sales, promise-ring clubs -- the works.
They were good girls.
But Penny wasn't even a Christian, so --
I have another theory.
Penny's diary.
Did you steal that from her room?
I love that you even asked me that.
And why wouldn't I? No reason.
On?
What if it's about purity?
You think they're all --
virgins, Sam. Virgins.
Penny was .
Yeah, with a pink room. So?
And stuffed teddy bears.
Fine. But you really think --
"I've decided I'm going to give Stan my most precious gift."
Wow. That sounded really creepy coming out of your mouth.
I think I delivered it.
You know, you -- you could have led with the diary. You know?
Anyways, let's say you're right. Fine.
Who would want virgins?
You got me.
I prefer ladies with experience.
Ohh!
Aaaaaaaah!
It happened so fast.
It's all right, Melissa.
What came at you?
You can tell us.
Woman on P.A.
Paging Dr. Stathem.
It -- it looked like a...
...A giant bat.
You think I'm making it up, right?
That's what the other man said.
Well, I'm not the other man.
It came right at me.
It was huge. I swear.
That's how I got this.
So, it attacked.
And then what happened?
I don't know.
I passed out, and when I woke up, it was gone.
Is there anything else you can think of?
Anything you can tell us,
even if it doesn't seem important?
Well, my ring got lost.
Or else that thing stole it, if that makes any sense.
What kind of ring? Gold.
Promise ring.
Promise ring.
So, uh... From, like, a church?
Like -- like a purity ring?
Yeah. Why?
I got to ask.
Uh, Melissa...
Look, nobody is, uh, judging anybody here, okay?
Believe me. But...
Should you really be wearing that ring?
Well, I-I mean, I-I am -- really?
Matt Barne didn't count.
So, what, you think Batman tried to rape her?
Well, he does carry a lot of rage.
But he rejected her because she was already dehymenated, huh?
You think?
I think it just goes to show
that being easy's pretty much all upside.
So, what kind of thing likes virgins and gold?
P. Diddy?
You know, it's comforting. What's that?
I died for a year, came back,
and you're still not funny.
Shut up. I'm hilarious.
This can't be possible.
Try me.
Um, I googled "fire," "claws," "flying,"
"stealing virgins," and "gold,"
and it all takes me to the same place.
Where?
"World of Warcraft" fansites.
I don't know what that means.
Dragons, dude.
See? Told you. Not possible.
Actually, it might be.
How? In what reality?
It's been a strange year.
We should get a second opinion.
Yeah?
What do you know about dragons?
What? Nothing.
Seriously.
Well, they're not like the Loch Ness monster, Dean.
Dragons aren't real.
Could you make a few calls? To who? Hogwarts?
Humor me.
Fine.
You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, how's "memento" doing over there?
He caught you in any lies yet?
Everything's fine. Sam says hey.
You okay?
Yeah.
Bobby say anything?
Nope.
Dad never wrote anything about dragons.
I promise.
I'd remember if I read "The Neverending Story" in there.
Hey, did we hunt a skinwalker lately?
Doesn't ring a bell. Why?
I don't know. Just...déjà vu or something.
Are you sure? I could have sworn -- you got to remember --
your eggs are still a little scrambled, right?
But, yeah, I'm sure.
All right.
Yeah. Never mind.
Hey, Bobby. What do you got?
Can't believe she didn't jump right to mind.
Dr. Visyak.
Medieval Studies, S.F.U.
Dr. Visyak, S.F.U.
Got it. Thanks.
All right. I'm going to San Francisco,
figure out how to kill these things.
You figure out where they are.
W-wait. D-did Bobby say where they like to park? No.
Great. Back to the lore.
Which says what? That they live in middle-earth?
No. Caves.
You're such a nerd.
Please let me go!
Please!
No!
Aah! No!
Shut up!
Shut up, or I'll break the other one.
Now, get in there. Come on.
It's okay. It's gonna be okay.
Yes?
Dr. Visyak. My name is Dean Winchester.
Office hours are Monday and Friday.
Bobby Singer sent me.
Hello?
Hi.
Bobby Singer.
Tell him something for me next time you see him.
Hmm?
Actually, just kick him in the jewels.
That's more poetic.
No love lost between you two, huh?
No. Just the opposite.
Oh?
That's his story to tell.
He's the idiot.
So, what's this about?
Well
Uh...Dragons.
Really?
What, no -sided-dice joke?
We can joke about them because they've disappeared.
But they aren't funny.
At all.
Well, one just flew in stateside.
Are you sure?
Fits the lore to a "T."
But how? I mean, why?
It's been years.
Banner crop of crazy all the way around these days, doc.
So you want to know how to kill it. That's right.
Well, you need a blade.
Uh...
Okay. What kind of blade?
One forged with dragon's blood.
So you need one to kill one,
but you got to kill one to make one.
How does that work out?
Well, there aren't many dragon swords around anymore.
Five or six, tops, worldwide.
I mean, there's the sword of St. George,
and, of course, there's Excalibur.
And there's -- you know a lot about this stuff, don't you?
Well, I sure as hell better.
I have one in the basement.
You have one.
Finding it took two decades, countless hours,
and some really bad sex with an eastern European ambassador,
but, yeah.
That is not real.
Is that real?
Is it Excalibur?
No.
This... Is the Sword of Bruncvik.
Love of my life.
So, uh, what's with the cement shoe?
You know, binding sword to stone used to be all the rage.
To protect them.
All right, well, how do we get this puppy out?
Well, come on. You know this one.
We need a brave knight
who's willing to step up and kill the beast.
Right.
All right, well, I'll, uh...
Give it a whirl.
Do you mind? Oh.
You okay?
Never better.
Oh, son of a bitch! That's really on there!
Yeah, afraid so.
Well, I have another idea. What?
Well, you're not gonna like it.
Sam. Where's Dean?
Hey, um...
He went to go see your friend.
So, look, I'm trying to figure out where this thing lairs up.
Uh, little help, maybe?
What are the parameters?
Caves, basically.
But there's nothing around for miles.
So, less literal, then.
What else you got local that's cold, dark, and wet?
Huh.
Well, um...
There's no subway lines.
Sewers.
That could be it. Thanks.
All right. Wait, Bobby.
Wait. Um... You okay?
Yeah, of course. Why? What's wrong?
Besides the way you been acting and talking? Nothing.
Is there something I should know? No.
All you need to know is where Godzilla's holed up.
Well, Bobby, what happened this last year?
It had its moments.
No more than usual.
It's got nothing to do with you, Sam. How could it?
Right. 'Course.
Call me if you need anything. Ye--
Castiel, um...
...I'm back.
So, if you got a minute...
Sam.
It's so good to see you alive.
Yeah.
You too.
Um...
Look, I-I would hug you, but --
that would be awkward.
Um... Was a crazy year, huh?
I-I-I just talked to Bobby.
He -- he told me everything that happened.
Frankly, I'm surprised that you survived.
I was begging Dean not to do it.
Yeah. No, I-I-I can understand that.
You know, it's a miracle it didn't kill you.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a miracle, all right.
So, how does it feel?
What?
Well, to have your soul back, of course.
Right. Y-you mean 'cause I was walking around with no soul.
Uh...
Really good, Cass. I'm real good.
You know what?
I'm -- I'm just hazy on a few of the details, though.
Um...
You think maybe you could... Walk me through?
You know what? I-I-I don't like this at all.
You do realize that this
is the single most valuable artifact you have ever touched.
It's also the only weapon we got.
Look, I know what I'm doing, okay?
I actually learned it all from Bobby.
Hey, whatever happened there,
you know he's at least a genius at this.
Do you want me to kill that dragon or not?
Okay.
Trust me.
You rocks think you're so smart.
All right.
Welcome to the st century.
All right, stand back.
Okay. Now...
You've got insurance for this, right?
And what are we supposed to do with this, Dean?
Give it a booster shot?
It's what we got. All right?
We're just gonna have to get a little closer. That's all.
Where are we on the caves?
Nowhere. Sewers, on the other hand...
Here. Check this out.
So, two of the disappearances happened within a mile of here.
So I think we start there and work our way around.
Awesome. Who doesn't love sewers?
Let's go.
What?
Nothing. Uh, yeah, let's go.
Ugh! God.
Just when I get used to a smell, I hit a new flavor.
Dude, we have been here for hours.
There is nothing. I think the lore is off.
Hey, what if, uh...
What if dragons like nice hotels?
What is that? What?
Holy crap.
Okay, maybe there are dragons here.
Wait. Dean...
Not now. Check this out.
A little arts-and-crafty for a giant bat, right?
Hello? Is someone there?
Hello?
Hey. We're gonna get you out.
Quick. He's coming back.
Where do you think you're gonna stick that?
Aah!
- Where did you get that? - Comic-Con.
Come on, come on.
Aah!
Hey, Sam. Ask me what time it is.
Why don't you cut to the chase and just roll in it?
I rarely have wealth.
Dean...
Yeah?
I am so...
So sorry.
I can't even begin to say.
For what?
You know what.
Did Bobby... Cass.
Cass. Friggin' child.
You should have told me, Dean.
You weren't supposed to know. What I did?
To Bobby? To you?
Of course I should know.
Sam, death didn't just shove your soul back in, okay?
He put up the great wall of Sam
between you and the things that you don't remember.
And trust me when I say
that the things you don't know could kill you.
That's not a joke.
All right.
But I have to set things right. Or what I can, anyway.
It wasn't you.
You know, I kind of feel
like I got slipped the worst Mickey of all time...
And I woke up to find out
that I had burnt the whole city down.
And you can say it wasn't me, but...
I'm the one with the zippo in my pocket, you know?
So I'm not sure it's that cut and dry.
And, look, I a-appreciate you trying to protect me.
I really do.
But I got to fix...
What I got to fix.
So I need to know what I did.
But you don't know how dangerous that could be.
What would you do?
Right. Same thing.
Sam...
Boys, something I think you ought to see.
Now, as near as I can figure it,
this dates back around the th century.
What language is it?
Da Vinci code.
Real obscure latinate.
Gonna take me my golden years to translate it all.
Oh, and, uh, F.Y.I. -- That ain't paper.
What is it?
It's human skin.
Okay. I'm fairly clear on this first bit.
It basically describes this place.
It's like the backside of your worst nightmares.
It's all blood and bone and darkness.
Filled with the bodies and souls
of all things hungry, sharp, and nasty.
Where are they?
I ran into trouble.
You're damn lucky I got enough.
This is your lucky day, little girl.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Monsters?
It's monsterland.
According to this, it goes by many names --
most of which I can't pronounce --
but I'm thinking you know "purgatory."
Purgatory?
Awesome.
Well, that is
Good to know.
So, you're saying that these, uh, dragon freaks
were squatting in the sewers
and reading tone poems about purgatory?
Oh, no, no, no.
They're reading an instruction manual.
What?
Yeah.
If you're nuts enough to want access to a place that gnarly,
this book will show you how to open a door.
Door to purgatory.
Well, I know a demon
who would have loved to have known about that.
So, how do you open the door?
Ask Cloverfield.
I'm pretty sure he's got that page.
"Ego coniuro vos,
insolubiliter ad mei potenciam alligati"!
"Ad me...
"Sine prestolacione venire... Let me go! Please stop!
...Debeatis aperiat"! No!
Please don't! It'll go easier if you relax.
"Huc sine mora debeas mater"!
- It gets worse. - Worse?
This ain't talking about how to take a vacation over there.
This is all about opening a door to let something in.
Bring something here.
What?
I'm working on it.
Could you give us something?
I got a name. Okay.
"Mother."
Mother? M-mother of what? Mother of dragons?
I wish.
It says it a few times here.
"Mother of all."
Welcome.
You kept me waiting.
What the hell does "mother of all" mean?
I don't know.
We have so much to do.
Let's get started.
