ACT THREE
Those chicken scratches -- definitely Egyptian. "Book of the Dead."
''INT.BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
SAM (on phone): <br>
They identify the God Osiris. Real authoritarian type. He gets ahold of you, he's judge, jury, and executioner. Lore says that he can see directly into the human heart. He weighs the guilt. If he finds more than a feather's worth -- boom, you're done.
''INT.BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
SAM (on phone): <br>
Well, it seems like he just pops up and does his circuit-judge act and then disappears again. That's all I got so far.
''INT.BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
BOBBY (on phone, V-O): <br>
== ACT THREE ==
 
''INT. BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
 
SAM (on phone): <br>
Dude, third message. You better not be loaded. Call me. This is important.
 
SAM hangs up. His phone rings and he answers it.
 
''EXT. OUTSIDE NEAL’S TAVERN – NIGHT''
 
SAM (on phone, V-O): <br>
Dean. About time, man. I --
 
MIA (on phone): <br>
Uh, hello?
 
''INT. BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
 
SAM (on phone): <br>
Who is this?
 
''EXT. OUTSIDE NEAL’S TAVERN – NIGHT''
 
MIA (on phone): <br>
Oh, well, I just -- I picked this off the ground, where I've been standing for ten minutes listening to it ring. Is this Dean's phone?
 
''INT. BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
 
SAM (on phone): <br>
Yeah.
 
''EXT. OUTSIDE NEAL’S TAVERN – NIGHT''
 
MIA (on phone): <br>
Well... He was supposed to meet me here.
 
SAM (on phone, V-O): <br>
Where are you?
 
''INT. BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
 
SAM (on phone): <br>
I can be right there.
 
''INT. MOTEL ROOM – NIGHT''
 
WARREN is still sitting in the chair surrounded by the salt circle. The television picture turns to static and the lights flicker.
 
WARREN: <br>
Sam?
 
WARREN hears glass shatter and gets up. He breaks the salt circle with his foot and runs out of the room, along the hallway and down some stairs. At the bottom of a stairwell he sees the ghosts of a man and a woman. He turns and runs back up the stairs, only to see the same ghosts in the hallway.
 
WARREN: <br>
No. Please. I'm sorry.
 
The ghosts approach him and the MALE GHOST raises a gun.
 
WARREN: <br>
Please.
 
MALE GHOST: <br>
You did it to us.
 
The MALE GHOST fires.
 
''EXT. OUTSIDE NEAL’S TAVERN – NIGHT''
 
MIA: <br>
Uh, here it is.
 
MIA hands SAM DEAN’s phone.
 
MIA: <br>
Uh, well, I hope he's okay.
 
SAM: <br>
Now, where exactly did you find this phone?
 
MIA: <br>
Uh...There.
 
SAM: <br>
Thanks.
 
SAM goes to the spot MIA indicated and finds red dirt.
 
''INT. BARN AT APPLE FARM – NIGHT''
 
SAM enters the barn holding a shotgun. In another part of the barn, DEAN is chained to a chair in a room that contains an ornate throne and Egyptian statues.
 
DEAN: <br>
Really, Warren? All you noticed were the symbols?
 
OSIRIS is now on the throne.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Quit squirming, Mr. Winchester. They're Houdini-proof. Now, you want to talk charges, or...
 
DEAN: <br>
I'd rather talk about your Bukowski schtick at the bar. What, you can't jump a guy when he's sober?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
You and that waitress had quite a talk, huh? Get a couple drinks in you, and the guilt comes pouring out.
 
DEAN: <br>
Oh, eavespropping -- that's cute.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Speaking of... You're gonna skulk all night, Sam?
 
SAM opens a sliding door to the room.
 
DEAN: <br>
Sam?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Nice job finding us. I assume you figured out who I am, too?
 
SAM: <br>
Yeah.
 
DEAN: <br>
You want to fill me in?
 
SAM: <br>
Osiris. He's an Egyptian God.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Ta-da! Now, go about your business, Sammy.
 
SAM: <br>
Look, if anyone should be on trial, it's me.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
That's for me to decide. Now go away.
 
SAM: <br>
But he -- he has the right to an attorney. Doesn't he?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Huh.
 
SAM: <br>
Let me defend him.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Well, that's unusual.
 
SAM: <br>
Are you gonna respect his rights or not?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Why not?
 
DEAN: <br>
Uh, Sam? You're not a lawyer.
 
SAM takes a seat next to DEAN.
 
SAM: <br>
I was pre-law.
 
DEAN: <br>
Yeah, pre.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
All right, then. Let's get started. Now, the list of witnesses I can call -- endless.
 
SAM: <br>
Objection!
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Are you gonna let me finish my sentence, Sam?
 
SAM: <br>
No. This isn't fair.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Fair? I'm sorry. Moving on. I can make it very simple. Three witnesses.
 
SAM: <br>
Objection!
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Grounds?
 
SAM: <br>
Witness is being called without prior notice.
 
DEAN: <br>
Good one.
 
SAM: <br>
I saw that on "The Good Wife."
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Yes. Very fine objection. Denied!
 
SAM: <br>
What? Why?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Because I'm the judge, son. Now stop objecting, or I'll find you in contempt -- that is, kill you. So I advise you to let me move it along. The prosecution calls Joanna Beth Harvelle to the stand.
 
JO’s ghost appears.
 
DEAN: <br>
Jo?
 
JO: <br>
Dean. Sam. Long time.
 
OSIRIS beckons and JO takes a seat near his throne.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
State your name for the court.
 
JO: <br>
Jo Harvelle.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
And... what is your relationship to Dean Winchester?
 
JO: <br>
We worked together.
 
FLASHBACKS from Dean and Jo’s first meeting in [[2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown]] and the two of them arguing in [[2.06 No Exit]].
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Isn't it true that you admired him?
 
JO: <br>
Well, as a hunter... Yeah. As a guy, he was kind of a jerk.
 
DEAN looks somewhat hurt.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
So you saw him as a mentor of sorts?
 
JO: <br>
I wouldn't put it like that.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
How would you put it?
 
JO: <br>
I don't know. I trusted him. So if you're trying to say that he was a bad guy or something --
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Was it hard?
 
JO: <br>
What?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Working with him... considering your feelings.
 
JO: <br>
No. What feelings?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
You would have done quite a bit for him -- followed him into any battle.
 
JO: <br>
I know what you're getting at, and it's bull.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
So Dean had nothing to do with your first case, the one that started it all.
 
FLASHBACKS from [[2.06 No Exit]].
 
JO: <br>
It wasn't like that.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
No feelings. None at all. You would have chosen the same exact road. Ended up in that hardware store, holding the fuse.
 
DEAN: <br>
Oh, you're a piece of work. You know that? Putting words in her mouth –
 
OSIRIS gestures towards DEAN and DEAN gulps.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Keep him under control, counsel... or I'll remove his tongue.
 
OSIRIS gestures again and DEAN draws a deep breath.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Your witness.
 
SAM gets up and stands in front of JO.
 
SAM: <br>
Jo. So, um... your dad... was in the life?
 
JO: <br>
Yes, he was.
 
SAM: <br>
And your relationship with him?
 
JO: <br>
Good. I mean...
 
SAM: <br>
You idolized him.
 
JO: <br>
Basically.
 
SAM: <br>
So why'd you start? To impress some loudmouth ass you just met... Or 'cause you wanted to be like your dad?
 
JO: <br>
Daddy issues. Definitely. Listen, Dean, I don't --
 
OSIRIS flicks his hand and JO’s ghost disappears.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
All right. You two can have a moment to strategize. And then I'll call my next witness.
 
SAM sits down next to DEAN again.
 
SAM: <br>
All right. Who's the next witness? He looked at you like you'd know.
 
DEAN: <br>
I got no clue. This whole thing's like a friggin' episode of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse."
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Next witness! The prosecution calls... Sam Winchester to the stand.
 
OSIRIS gestures to the witness’s chair.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Sam... Not exactly the life you expected, is it?
 
SAM: <br>
Details a little different.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
For a while there, you were gonna be a real lawyer. Marry Jess.
 
SAM: <br>
Yeah, that was a long time ago.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
But were you or were you not happily out of the family racket until Dean showed back up in that gas guzzler? Ah-ah. The truth, now.
 
FLASHBACKS to [[1.01 Pilot]]: SAM and JESS kissing, SAM and DEAN fighting, DEAN slamming SAM against the bridge, JESS burning on the ceiling and SAM on the bed under the flames.
 
SAM: <br>
It's complicated.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
That one act had quite a domino effect. Come back, your girl's dead.
 
SAM: <br>
Well, that wasn't his fault.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Sure, and neither is everything that came after -- all the death and the blood and hanging on by a thread. None of that is on Dean, directly.
 
FLASHBACKS to [?], DEAN punching SAM in [[2.03 Bloodlust]], DEAN shoving BEN in [[6.05 Live Free or Twihard]], RONALD being shot in [[2.12 Nightshifter]], PAMELA bleeding to death in [[4.15 Death Takes A Holiday]], JO bleeding in [[5.10 Abandon All Hope]], DEAN watching JOHN’s body burn in [[2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown]], DEAN standing at JOHN’s grave in [[2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be]], DEAN holding a dying SAM in [[2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One]], [?], and DEAN crying as he tells SAM about torturing souls in Hell in [[4.10 Heaven And Hell]].
 
OSIRIS: <br>
But don't you think that your brother dragged you back into that catastrophic mess because he'd rather damn you with him than be alone?
 
There is a long pause.
 
SAM: <br>
No. One way or another, I'd have gotten pulled back in.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
You know that for certain?
 
SAM: <br>
Pretty sure.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Pretty sure.
 
SAM: <br>
I'm positive.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
I believe you. Hey, if it was about convincing me, I would say...
 
SAM: <br>
What?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
I don't decide anything, Sam. I don't decide Dean's guilt. I just weigh the guilt that's already there. This is solely about how Dean feels, way down deep. Them's the breaks.
 
SAM: <br>
Wait. So, if Dean believes he's innocent, then he is?
 
OSIRIS: <br>
If. A big if. Why do I bring up the past? To see if he feels like dog food about it. People want to be judged. They really do. When your heart's heavy, let me tell you, real punishment's a mercy.
 
SAM: <br>
I want to call Dean to the stand.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Oh, you do, now? There is an order to this stuff, you know. Okay. I'll allow it.
 
OSIRIS snaps his fingers and DEAN’s chains fall away.
 
SAM is standing in front of DEAN, who is in the witness chair.
 
SAM: <br>
So, Dean. When you came and got me, did you know Jess would die? Or any of it?
 
DEAN: <br>
'Course not.
 
SAM: <br>
Right. How could you? I mean, are you psychic? That's a question.
 
DEAN: <br>
No. Uh, definitely not psychic.
 
SAM: <br>
Great. So why would you feel guilty about not predicting the future?
 
DEAN: <br>
Yeah, I guess that doesn't make any sense. Actually, yeah, no, I don't.
 
SAM: <br>
What about Jo? Did you actually kill her?
 
DEAN: <br>
Uh, no.
 
SAM: <br>
Isn't it true that you don't feel guilty about her -- that you're just...sad she's dead? That it just...blows?
 
DEAN: <br>
Actually... Maybe, yeah.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Mm-mm-mm. I like your style, Sam. Very engaging.
 
SAM: <br>
Dean. Does any of this feel like it's really...on you?
 
DEAN: <br>
Not really.
 
SAM: <br>
Then is your heart heavy with guilt or just plain heavy and none of this guy's business?
 
DEAN: <br>
Uh, what you said -- the second thing.
 
SAM: <br>
Then I rest my case.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Very good... Both of you. All right. Because I really enjoyed that, I'm gonna be generous and ask -- Dean, do you want me to call my last witness?
 
FLASHBACKS to DEAN stabbing AMY in [[7.03 The Girl Next Door]], and SAM saying “I know you didn't want to let her go, but it was the right thing to do” and DEAN replying “No problem” in ACT ONE of this episode.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
Or have we had enough?
 
DEAN sighs heavily.
 
SAM: <br>
What the hell's he talking about?
 
DEAN: <br>
Enough Ally McBealing. Just drop the hammer, will ya?
 
SAM: <br>
Wait, Dean, he's giving us more time!
 
DEAN: <br>
It's not gonna make a difference, Sam!
 
OSIRIS: <br>
You need another moment? You done?
 
OSIRIS bangs his staff three times on the ground.
 
OSIRIS: <br>
The court's reached a verdict. I find you, Dean Winchester, guilty in your heart... and sentence you to die. I'd suggest you get your affairs in order quickly.
