TITLE: NOW
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE - DAY
A man (JASON) drags a body bag through the house into the bathroom. He unzips the bag to reveal a charred body.
EXT. PARK - DAY
DEAN is lying on a picnic table. Sam sits down next to him.
SAM
So, what, Cas is human?
DEAN
(sitting up)
Ish. I mean, he's got no Grace, no wings, no... harp, whatever the hell else he had.
SAM
Okay. Where'd he crash-land?
DEAN
Called me from a pay phone from Longmont, Colorado. I told him just to make for the bunker.
SAM
Well, you think he can handle a road trip like that?
DEAN
Well, Cas is a big boy. Things go Breaking Bad, he knows our number. Right now we got bigger worries.
SAM
The fallen angels?
DEAN
Yeah. I mean, thanks to Metatron, we now have a couple of thousand confused loose nukes walking around down here.
SAM
What do you think they're gonna do?
DEAN
I got no damn clue.
SAM
What about Crowley? You, uh... [mimes slicing throat]
DEAN
I would've loved nothing better than to ice that limey bitch. But then I thought to myself, what would Sam Winchester do?
SAM
I'd've stabbed him in the brain.
DEAN
Oh. (beat) Well, I figured the King of Hell might know a few things, so why not Zero Dark Thirty his ass?
They get up off the table.
SAM
Wait, so Crowley is... alive?
DEAN opens the Impala's trunk to reveal CROWLEY.
DEAN
Oh yeah. He's the junk in my trunk.
A Devil's Trap has been painted on the inside of the trunk.
SAM
Huh.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE - DAY
Sigils have been drawn on the bathroom's walls in blood. BLACK DEMON SMOKE swirls around just below the ceiling. JASON takes out a knife and flips it open. His eyes turn black. He cuts open his wrist and allows the blood to pour into the bathtub. Bright light starts to emanate from it, and the DEMON SMOKE flies down into the tub. The light pulsates and dies out with a small shockwave.
ABADDON emerges from the bathtub.
TITLE: SUPERNATURAL
ACT ONE
INT. BUNKER - CONTROL ROOM - DAY
DEAN enters the bunker. An arrow comes flying in his general direction, getting stuck in the handrail a few feet in front.
DEAN
The hell?
KEVIN stands up from behind his barricade of books and a flipped-over table, holding a crossbow.
KEVIN
Dean? You're alive!
DEAN
Yeah, 'cause you're a crappy shot, Katniss.
KEVIN
Sorry. It's been a bad couple of days. I-I haven't slept, or eaten, I'm pretty backed up.
DEAN
Okay, overshare.
KEVIN
After we talked, this place went nuts, alright? Th-there was some alarm, and all the machines were freaking out, and the bunker just locked down. I couldn't open the door, my cellphone stopped working, I thought the world was ending.
DEAN
Close. (beat) The angels fell.
KEVIN
The... what does that mean?
DEAN
Nothing good. [he takes the crossbow from KEVIN] Listen, next time the world's ending, grab a gun.
DEAN puts the crossbow down on the table and starts to walk away, taking out his cellphone.
DEAN
I got service.
KEVIN flips a switch on the bunker's control panel. Lights turn on and there's a sound of mechanics whirring into action.
KEVIN
It's back online. Maybe when you opened the door from the outside door, it reset the system.
DEAN
Yeah, okay, let's go with that.
SAM enters with CROWLEY, handcuffed, blindfolded and with earmuffs on.
SAM
Hey. All good?
DEAN
Is it ever. Come on.
SAM and DEAN leave with CROWLEY as KEVIN looks on.
KEVIN
No.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY has been chained to a chair in the center of a Devil's Trap. DEAN pulls off his hood and tears the duct tape off his mouth.
CROWLEY
Ahh! Hello.
DEAN punches him in the face.
DEAN
Never get tired of doing that.
CROWLEY grunts and looks at the wall full of torture implements.
CROWLEY
Homey. Where did you get this fantastic little treehouse?
SAM
Alright, here's how it's gonna go. You're giving us the name of every demon on earth, and the people they're possessing.
CROWLEY
Am I? Doesn't sound like me.
SAM
I saw you break down, Crowley. When I was trying to cure you, I know a part of you was human again, maybe still is.
CROWLEY
Blah blah, boohoo. Done? Good. 'Cause this is what I know. I'm not giving you anything. Why would I? You have no leverage, darlings. You're not gonna close the gates of Hell, because you didn't, you're not gonna kill me, because you haven't. So what's left?
DEAN
We have a few ideas.
CROWLEY
Torture. Brilliant. Can't wait to see Sam in stilettos and a leather bustier, really putting the S-A-M into S&M. Honestly, boys. What are you gonna do to me that I don't do to myself just for kicks every Friday night?
SAM and DEAN exchange a look, then turn and leave, locking the dungeon's doors behind them.
DEAN
Have fun.
They turn off the lights, leaving CROWLEY alone in the dark.
INT. BUNKER - CONTROL ROOM - DAY
KEVIN
What's Crowley doing here?! Why isn't he dead? Why aren't you stabbing him right now?!
DEAN
Alright, alright, chill out, Kevin, okay? We need him.
KEVIN
What?!
SAM
Kevin, look. If we can get Crowley to give us the name of every demon he's got topside, we can hunt them down. All of 'em.
DEAN
He will break, okay. When he does, we'll hold him down while you knife him. Then we all go out for ice cream and strippers.
SAM
Just stay away from him, alright?
KEVIN
So now what?
DEAN
I gotta make some phone calls. You need to hit the Angel tablet, see if you can find anything on the spell that Metatron used to empty out Heaven.
SAM
Yeah, maybe we can reverse it before the God Squad does too much damage.
DEAN
Yeah, if we're lucky. Alright, check the net for anything angely.
SAM
Or demony.
DEAN
Or monstery. Or ghosty, or... it's gonna be a busy year.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE - DAY
ABADDON addresses JASON plus three other DEMONS.
ABADDON
My name is Abaddon. But enough about me, let's talk you. Jason tells me you're all violent, power-hungry opportunists. So maybe you can tell me what the hell happened to Hell. And demons, I mean, [mocking laughter] you call that a meatsuit?
OLD LADY!DEMON
I closed 72 deals last year. Kids love Grandma.
ABADDON
And that's the problem. Deals. We're paying for what we should be taking. Who put Crowley in charge? What's the matter, Hellhound got your tongue? You took orders from him!
OLD LADY!DEMON
He's the King!
ABADDON
He's a salesman. A king fights. A king conquers. A king does more than sit around reading contracts. But the King's dead. Long live the Queen. I can train you. I can get you new bodies. And we will march into Hell, where we will be greeted as liberators. And Demonkind will rise up and sweep over the earth. And all the humans, and all the angels with their clipped wings will bow to me! Or they will burn.
OLD LADY!DEMON
What about Crowley?
ABADDON
Crowley's dead.
OLD LADY!DEMON
Uhuh. Well, no offense, honey, but we all thought you were dead until, like, a week ago. And what if Crowley does come back? Look, a lot of us were scared of him, a lot of us still are. Prove that Crowley's really gone, and then maybe this scheme of yours will work. (beat) Or not. Honestly, I always thought you Knights were overrated.
ABADDON grabs her by the throat and smokes her out.
ABADDON
You go to hell. And you tell them... I'm coming.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - DAY
DEAN's on the phone while SAM and KEVIN do research.
DEAN
Yeah, Irv, fallen angels.
IRV (O.S.)
Huh. That's a wrinkle.
DEAN
Well, trust me, they're just monsters with good PR.
EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS
IRV sits on the hood of his car.
DEAN (O.S., cont'd)
So, if you run into one, torch his ass with holy oil.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
DEAN (cont'd)
Oh, and if they drop, uh, like, a silver sword, grab it. Those pigstickers come in handy.
EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS
IRV
Okay. Criminy.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Hey, look, I know this is weird, but—
IRV (O.S.)
Well, Dean-o, weird's what we do.
EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS
IRV
I remember this case me and Bobby worked up in Saskatoon, had these two—
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Werewolf siamese twins.
EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS
IRV
He told you about that?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Every time he drank Labatt's.
EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS
DEAN (O.S., cont'd)
So if you run into any problems, give a call, okay?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
DEAN (cont'd)
The more hunter that know, the better.
EXT. ROAD - CONTINUOUS
IRV
Roger-Dodger.
EXT. NAVAL BASE - DAY
Three NAVY SOLDIERS leave the base.
SOLDIER #1
So, this is your first weekend pass into town, right? So I set it all up. Jamie's waiting at the bar and has a thing for men in uniform. So, you just start buying shots, then you can thank me in the morning.
SOLDIER #2
Cool.
A bus pulls up and the three get in.
INT. BUS - DAY
The DEMONS from before (minus the one possessing the old lady) are waiting on the bus. Their eyes turn black. The doors snap shut and the DEMONS smoke out, then possess the SOLDIERS. ABADDON, in the driver's seat dressed in a bus driver's uniform, turns to look.
ABADDON
Now that is more like it.
ACT TWO
EXT. ROAD - DAY
A young woman (TRACY) is looking under the hood of her car. A van pulls up.
DRIVER
Need some help?
TRACY
Um, yeah, I-I don't know, I think the thingy broke.
DRIVER
Well, I can give you a lift into town.
TRACY
That would be amazing. Thanks.
She grabs her bag from the car while the van's DRIVER leers at her. He grins wolfishly as she gets in, revealing a set of vampire fangs.
EXT. ROAD - MOMENTS LATER
The van rocks up and down. After a few moments, blood splashes against the window from the inside. The van's doors open and the VAMPIRE comes falling out, headless. TRACY jumps out after and comes face to face with the possessed SOLDIERS.
JASON (now in SOLDIER #1)
Nice hunting.
DEMON!SOLDIER #2 grabs her from behind and pulls a bag over her head.
EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY
The bus has been abandoned in a parking lot. The area has been marked off with yellow tape and there are multiple police officers and army personnel present. SAM and DEAN pull up in the Impala.
SAM
Oh, God. This place reeks of sulfur.
DEAN
Between the stink, with the freak thunderstorms, and every cow dead within three miles, I'll take demons for $1000, Alex. [to the SERGEANT that walks up] Hey. Agents Stark and Banner, FBI. Just need to have a look around.
SERGEANT
Why? This is a military case, not a federal one.
SAM
Well, that's not what our supervisor said.
SERGEANT
That so? Then maybe him and I oughta have a chat.
DEAN
Okay.
He takes out his phone and dials.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN's phone rings.
KEVIN
Hey?
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Hey, boss, uh... we got a little problem here.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
"Boss"?
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Yeah, just a local badge needs confirmation we're supposed to be here. How the word came down from FBI headquarters in DC.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
Wait, w-what?
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Yeah.
He hands his phone to the SERGEANT.
SERGEANT
This is Sgt Miranda Bates, who am I talking to?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
Uh... Kevin. Solo.
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
SERGEANT
How old are you?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
Old enough. And I'm with the FBI, so you have to do what I say, or...
SERGEANT (O.S.)
Listen, kid, I don't have to do anything. And I don't take orders from the Feeb.
KEVIN pulls his laptop towards him and starts typing.
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
SERGEANT (cont'd)
So unless you can give me one good reason you got a couple of pretty-boy agents poking around my crime scene, I'm gonna put them in cuffs and spank your ass raw, understand?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
Cabo, last June.
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
SERGEANT
What?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
That's my reason. My favourite is you in a sombrero doing a body shot off some naked guy in a Luchador mask. Super classy.
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
SERGEANT
How did you find that?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
'Cause I'm Kevin freaking Solo. So unless you want this forwarded to your commanding officer, Major Velasquez...
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN (O.S.)
I suggest you give my guys anything they want. Understand?
SERGEANT
Yes.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
"Yes, sir."
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
SERGEANT
Yes, sir.
She hands the phone back to DEAN and stalks off.
DEAN
Kevin? What the hell did you just do?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
All military computers are linked to the same network.
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
SAM motions "are we good?" to DEAN, who nods. SAM walks off towards the bus.
DEAN
And?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
I hacked it.
EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Hey, Kevin? Good job, buddy.
He hangs up and joins SAM.
INT. BUS - DAY
DEAN
Hey. Anything?
SAM
Yeah, this guy was shot in the heart.
DEAN
That what killed him?
SAM
Maybe—fifteen, twenty years ago. Every one of these bodies has a fatal wound, or two, or three, but they're all old.
DEAN
So we're looking at meatsuits? The bodies took a licking, and the demons inside kept them ticking.
SAM
Probably. I think they were possessed. And now those soldiers are.
The SERGEANT enters.
SERGEANT
Excuse me, agents? We pulled this off a security camera. You might wanna take a look.
She hands SAM a touchscreen tablet with video footage that shows the possessed soldiers and bus driver exiting the bus. SAM zooms in on the driver.
EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY
DEAN
Abaddon? Seriously?! I thought you Kentucky fried that meatsuit.
SAM
I did, Dean.
DEAN
You—well, then how'd she get it back? [to the police officer holding up the crime scene tape] Thank you. [to SAM] And why's she playing G.I. Joe?
SAM
No clue. Why don't you ask her when we find her?
DEAN
Oh, I will. And then I'm gonna chop her freaking head off. Again.
EXT. CONTAMINATED GHOST TOWN - NIGHT
The DEMONS are beating up hunter PETE.
JASON
Alright, Pete. The Winchesters, where are they?
PETE
Bite me.
JASON punches him again.
JASON
I said, where are the Winchesters?
PETE
And I said, bite me, crewcut.
JASON punches him again.
ABADDON
Let me show you how it's done, boys.
She grabs a noose and slips it around PETE's neck.
PETE
Help me!
He screams as ABADDON tightens the noose and pulls on the rope to lift him off the ground.
ABADDON
You can scream all you want to. No one's gonna hear you! Now let's talk Sam and Dean.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - NIGHT
A cellphone (in a box full of them) starts ringing. KEVIN picks it up.
KEVIN
Hello?
EXT. CONTAMINATED GHOST TOWN - CONTINUOUS
ABADDON
This is Dean's number, but you're not a Winchester. Who are you?
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
I'm... nobody.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - CONTINUOUS
ABADDON enters the diner.
ABADDON
Well, nobody, I need you to give those boys a message for me.
She walks over to TRACY and IRV, both tied up and gagged.
ABADDON (cont'd)
I have something they might want.
INT. IMPALA - NIGHT
SAM
(on phone)
Kevin, wait wait wait. Slow down.
KEVIN (O.S.)
She gave me these coordinates. 44.053051 by -123.127860, and two names. Irv Franklin and Tracy Bell.
DEAN
Irv's a friend, don't know Tracy.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
Alright, the lady said they were hunters, and that if you didn't go save them, that she would kill them.
INT. IMPALA - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
Yeah, I've heard that song before.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
Dean, who was she?
INT. IMPALA - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
She's the bad guy. Alright, new job, dig up everything the Men of Letters have on Knights of Hell.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
KEVIN
"Knights of Hell"? (beat) Sure.
INT. IMPALA - CONTINUOUS
DEAN
You find a way to kill one, I mean permanently, drop a dime.
SAM
Thanks, Kevin. [he hangs up] The numbers point to a spot on the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon. You know this is a trap, right?
DEAN
Yep.
SAM
And we're just gonna walk right into it?
DEAN
Guns blazing. You with me?
SAM
You know it.
