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...(DEAN pulls the arrow out of the handrail.)...Katniss.
KEVIN
Sorry. It's been a bad couple of days. I-I haven't slept, or eaten, I...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
(Whispers) 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.
CROWLEY
(Scoffs) Huh.
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 angel-y.
SAM
Or demon-y.
DEAN
Or monster-y. Or ghost-y, 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! (Whispers) 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 hunters 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 is seen trying to read the Angel Tablet.
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 Sargent 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 Feebs.
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 favorite 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 uncomfortably.
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. The driver is ABADDON
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.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY still sits in the dark, flashing back to the night of the third trial.
SAM
You're the third trial, Crowley.
CROWLEY
Where do I start...
DEAN
You're our bitch.
CROWLEY
...to even look for forgiveness?
DEAN
Your demon ass is going to be a mortal ass pretty damn quick.
CROWLEY
None of this means anything to you?
You're my Marnie, moose.
A-and Hannah, she just, she needs to be loved.
INT. CHAPEL - NIGHT (FLASHBACK)
CROWLEY
She deserves it.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY
She deserves to be loved.
INT. CHAPEL - NIGHT (FLASHBACK)
CROWLEY
I deserve to be loved! I just wanna be loved.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY
I just wanna be loved.
Present-day CROWLEY gasps, distraught. Suddenly, the lights come on.
CROWLEY
Kevin?
INT. BUNKER - ARCHIVES - DAY
CROWLEY (O.S.)
Kevin, I know it's you. I'd recognise the pitter-patter of those little feet anywhere.
KEVIN makes his way to one of the shelves and rifles through a box.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY
That's right, run. It's what you do.
INT. BUNKER - ARCHIVES - DAY
KEVIN pulls a file from the box and starts to walk away.
CROWLEY (O.S.)
I understand, I do. You're, what's the word?
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY
Weak.
KEVIN yanks open the dungeon's doors.
CROWLEY
Hiya, Kev.
EXT. CONTAMINATED GHOST TOWN - DAY
DEAN
The hell happened here?
SAM
Local chemical plant sprung a leak, years ago. They evacuated three square blocks. Guess it's still contaminated.
DEAN
Wait, so this whole place is poison?
SAM
Yeah.
DEAN shields his crotch with his hand protectively.
SAM
That's not gonna help.
DEAN
Doesn't hurt.
They locate the diner.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
SAM and DEAN enter the diner.
SAM
Dean.
DEAN removes the gag from IRV's mouth.
DEAN
Irv? Hey. Where's Abaddon?
IRV
Abaddon's been torturing hunters. She's trying to get intel on you boys.
SAM
Do you know why?
IRV
I seriously doubt she wants to add you to her Christmas card list. Now, d'you wanna make with the rescue or what?
DEAN
Right after you take a shot of holy water, huh?
SAM and DEAN both unscrew flasks of holy water, and make TRACY and IRV drink some, respectively.
TRACY
Happy?
DEAN
Sorry about that.
IRV
Don't worry about it. Last night you need is us popping black eyes.
SAM
You're Tracy, right? I'm Sam Winchester.
TRACY
Good for you.
IRV
She's new. We did a shifter job in Sacramento together. Smart, but got a mouth on her.
DEAN
Let's gear up.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
CROWLEY
So, what brings you to my boudoir, handsome?
KEVIN
You're gonna tell me how to kill a Knight of Hell.
CROWLEY
Abaddon giving you trouble, eh? Tell you what, you let me go, and I'll spit-roast the little whore for you. Sound good?
KEVIN
You're bluffing. You don't know.
CROWLEY
Oh, I know plenty. For example, I know she'd love you. Skinny, submissive... you're just her type.
KEVIN
Shut up.
CROWLEY
Fine. That's not what you came for, anyway, not really. What's on your mind, Kevin? You can tell me. We're friends!
KEVIN
You tortured me.
CROWLEY
I torture all my friends. It's how I show love. I was raised in a dysfunctional home environment.
KEVIN
You killed my mom!
CROWLEY
Did I? (beat) I mean, are you sure? Did you ever see her body? I mean, how can you be sure she's dead?
KEVIN screams and punches CROWLEY.
CROWLEY
You can do better than that, little man.
KEVIN glances at the wall full of blades and other equipment. CROWLEY stares at the shelf with content.
CROWLEY
That's right. Let it all out.
KEVIN screams and punches CROWLEY again.
ACT THREE
INT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
DEAN is busy checking their supplies.
DEAN
Alright, we got Jesus juice, guns loaded with Devil's Trapped bullets—shoot a demon, you put 'em on lockdown. The angel blade works...
There's a noise outside and SAM moves over to the window to investigate.
SAM
They're coming.
DEAN
Good.
SAM
And they've got assault rifles.
DEAN
Okay, less good.
IRV
So, what's the play?
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - LATER
The DEMONS approach the diner. DEAN's voice can be heard from inside.
DEAN (O.S.)
Come and get it, you dicks!
INT. ABANDONED DINER - CONTINUOUS
JASON kicks open the door and enters together with DEMON!SOLDIER #2.
JASON
Down, now!
Close-up on DEAN's phone playing a pre-recorded clip on repeat.
DEAN
Come and get it, you dicks!
Come and get it, you dicks!
JASON
Damn it.
EXT. CONTAMINATED GHOST TOWN - DAY
DEAN
Alright. We gotta flank SEAL team douche in there, so, uh, Irv, you and me will go left, and Sam, you and Tracy go right.
SAM
Okay. Let's move.
He lays a hand on TRACY's shoulder, who promptly shoves him away.
TRACY
Don't touch me.
DEAN
Whoa. What's the problem?
TRACY
My family's dead because of him.
SAM
What?
TRACY
I watched a demon slaughter my parents. And the whole time it talked about how it was celebrating. Some dumb kid let Lucifer out of his cage.
DEAN
...okay, alright, we gotta move. Girl's with me, Irv...
IRV
(to SAM)
Okay. Let's go, son.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
KEVIN drops a bloodied hammer to the ground.
CROWLEY
There. Now that you've felt your feels, maybe we can talk.
KEVIN
No.
CROWLEY
Gonna make this simple, Kevin. Let me go, and I'll give you back your mother.
KEVIN
She's dead.
CROWLEY
Oh, she wishes she was. After what I had my heavies do to her, she's begging for it. But when have you ever known me to let anyone off easy? You think Sam and Dean care about her? Huh? You think they care about you? You are just here to serve their needs. Nothing more. You're gonna lose, Kevin. Everything. It's just a matter of time. When the Winchesters are done with you, they'll toss you aside without a second thought because they can. Because they think they're special. And because, well, there's always another prophet waiting in the wings. I'm the one in chains, but we're both prisoners here. What say, you let me go, and we walk out those doors together? What say we both win?
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
DEAN
Okay, I think they're still inside. We wait till they come out, and we pick them off one by one. (beat) Listen, for the record, Sam's not the only guy who thought he was doing right and watched it all go to crap, okay? That's just part of being—
TRACY
Being a hunter.
DEAN
Being human. Look, you wanna be pissed off at Sam, that's fine, I get it. But if you wanna go after somebody, you make sure that they got black eyes. Gotta know who the real monsters are in this world, kid.
EXT. OTHER SIDE OF ABANDONED DINER - DAY
IRV
Sam, you copacetic?
SAM
Yeah.
IRV
Good. Now, hand me that toothpick and you and Dean and Tracy, you beat feet outta here.
SAM
What?
IRV
I'm going in there alone. I'll buy you as much time as I can.
SAM
Irv, that's death.
IRV
Yeah, well, it's what I've got coming. It's my fault, Sam. I was... in some dive and I was sloppy, and lonely, and I met some girl. And next thing I know, I'm strapped to some bed, and she's twisting things that ain't supposed to be twisted.
SAM
"She" who?
IRV
Abaddon. (starts tearing up) I gave 'em up. Pete, Tracy, I Gave 'em all up. So you hand me that blade, and you let me do what I gotta do, or so help me—
IRV is shot through the heart and drops to the ground, dead. SAM shoots at the SNIPER on the rooftop and makes a break for the diner, diving inside.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
SAM slides in and comes to a stop on the floor in front of JASON, who traps SAM's wrist under his boot.
JASON
Boo.
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
ABADDON emerges and punches DEAN to the floor. TRACY shoots her in the chest repeatedly, but ABADDON barely flinches.
ABADDON
Nice grouping.
She lifts up her shirt to reveal a bulletproof vest.
ABADDON
Kevlar. Beats magic bullets. I love the future.
DEAN flings holy water up at ABADDON, and she staggers backwards, smoke rising from her face. DEAN crawls up and hands TRACY his keys.
DEAN
Listen, my car is three blocks over. Go get more bullets, more holy water, get everything.
TRACY
No, n-no, but what about you?
DEAN
Just go! Go! Now!
TRACY runs off. Behind DEAN, ABADDON has recovered from the holy water attack.
ABADDON
Alone at last.
ACT FOUR
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - CONTINUOUS
DEAN pulls out an angel blade and attempts to stab ABADDON, but she blocks the swing and twists his arm, sending the blade flying.
ABADDON
I missed you. Did you miss me?
She grabs DEAN by the shoulder, dislocating it and forcing him to his knees.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
SAM is fighting both JASON and DEMON!SOLDIER #2, getting thrown over the counter as they overpower him. He scrambles back up as DEMON!SOLDIER #3 enters.
DEMON!SOLDIER #3
Cool, I didn't miss the best part.
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
ABADDON
So appreciate you boys coming when I call. I think that's what I like most about you Winchesters. You're so obedient. And suicidally stupid. I like that, too.
DEAN
Are we gonna fight or make out? 'Cause I'm getting some real mixed signals here.
ABADDON
I want Crowley. Or what's left of him.
DEAN
Yeah? What's in it for me?
ABADDON
I let you die. You give me Crowley's head, and I will snap your neck, quick and clean. You won't feel a thing, trust me.
DEAN
And if I tell you to get bent?
ABADDON
Oh. Well... you know, I've loved this body since the moment I first saw it. You're the perfect vessel, Dean. You give a girl all sorts of nasty ideas. So go ahead and play hard to get, and I'll peel off this "no demons allowed" tattoo and blow smoke up your ass.
DEAN
(Mockingly) Ooh. Well, I gotta tell you, between you and me, it is a horror show up there.
ABADDON
It can get worse. Trust me. 'Cause once I'm on top, I'll make you watch. And I'll use your body. Have you ever felt an infant's blood drip down your chin? Or listened to a girl scream as you rip her guts out? Because you will. It's you and me, lover. We'll have a grand old time.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
SAM gets thrown into a wall and falls down, unconscious.
JASON
And here I thought all you Winchesters were supposed to be tough.
SAM's eyes open and flash blue. ZEKE!SAM sends JASON flying across the diner with a flick of his hand and stands up. He starts radiating white light and on his shadow on the wall behind him, tattered, broken wings unfold.
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
There's a bright flash of white light from within the diner, blasting out all the windows.
ABADDON
An angel?!
DEAN
What, you think we'd roll up to this mouse trap without some backup?
ABADDON grabs DEAN by the throat and throws him aside, then disappears.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
ZEKE!SAM pulls the demon knife out of DEMON!SOLDIER #3's body. DEAN enters.
ZEKE!SAM
They were going to kill him, Dean.
DEAN
Ezekiel? The hell did you do?
ZEKE!SAM
I was protecting your brother. I thought that was what you wanted.
DEAN
Right, yeah, no, I-I... sorry, I'm just still getting used to this whole thing.
ZEKE!SAM
As am I.
DEAN
But Sam's okay?
ZEKE!SAM
He was knocked unconscious. In a way he still is. Sam will not remember any of this.
DEAN
So what the hell am I supposed to tell him when he comes to?
ZEKE!SAM
That's why I used the knife.
DEAN
Right. [he takes the knife back] Smart.
ZEKE!SAM
You are troubled, still.
DEAN
Yeah, it's just that, uh... this is on me. I was the one who talked Sam out of boarding up Hell. Okay? So every demon deal, every kill that they make... well, you're looking at the person who let it happen.
ZEKE!SAM
You were protecting your brother. I am in Sam's head. Everything he knows, I know. And I know that what you did, you did out of love.
DEAN
Yeah, uh, look, Zeke—I'm gonna call you Zeke—I'm not really with the whole, uh, love, and... love.
ZEKE!SAM
But it is why I said yes.
DEAN
Yeah, and if that goes sideways, that's on me too.
ZEKE!SAM
That's not going to happen.
DEAN
This is nuts. I mean, you're Sam, but you're not Sam, and normally he's the one I'm talking to about all this stuff. I'm trusting you, Zeke. I just gotta hope that you're one of the good guys.
ZEKE!SAM
I am. (beat) But I suppose that is what a bad guy would say. (beat) Dean Winchester, you are doing the right thing.
INT. ABANDONED DINER - LATER
DEAN packs their supplies back into the duffel bag. On the other end of the diner, SAM wakes up and groans.
DEAN
Sam? Sammy? Hey, whoa.
SAM
Dean? What the hell happened?
DEAN
You took a shot to the head, and I came in and saved your ass, like usual.
SAM
You killed three demons? Alone?
DEAN
I took 'em by surprise. Got a little messy, I got a little lucky. [he helps SAM up off the floor] Oh, and, uh, I'm awesome, so there's that.
SAM
Jeez. You are pretty damn awesome.
A car pulls up outside, and SAM and DEAN head for the diner's exit.
EXT. ABANDONED DINER - DAY
TRACY pulls up in the Impala.
SAM
Hey. You okay?
TRACY
Yeah. You?
SAM
More or less, yeah.
TRACY
Good. [throws the keys to DEAN] I got everything, but guess I'm late to the party.
DEAN
Lucky you. Let's blow this toxic waste dump. Burgers and Silkwood showers on me.
ACT FIVE
INT. BUNKER - CONTROL ROOM - DAY
SAM and DEAN enter, DEAN holding a bucket of chicken and a bottle of prune juice.
DEAN
Kevin?!
SAM
Kevin?
The main level of the bunker is deserted. SAM and DEAN exchange a look. DEAN puts down the food and they both run downstairs.
INT. BUNKER - DUNGEON - DAY
DEAN and SAM enter the bunker to find CROWLEY still chained up.
DEAN
Who worked you over?
CROWLEY
Martin Hayward and Brandon Favors.
SAM
They did this to you?
CROWLEY
No. They're demons. You asked for names, I'm giving you names. They're underperformers. Spike them, you'll do me a favor.
DEAN
Wow. You break easy.
CROWLEY
Please. Your little plan to have me stew in my own... delicious... juices... pathetic. You want intel. I want things, too. Maybe we can come to some kind of arrangement. Quid pro quo, gentlemen.
SAM
So these are what, then, freebies?
CROWLEY
Not at all. You can consider them fair trade for the enjoyment that Kevin gave me.
DEAN
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
CROWLEY
He's my new favorite toy. Wind him up, watch him go.
DEAN
(to SAM)
You check the names, I'll go find the kid.
They leave, locking CROWLEY in the dark again.
INT. BUNKER - CONTROL ROOM - DAY
KEVIN heads towards the exit, carrying a backpack.
DEAN
Where d'you think you're going? [KEVIN walks past, ignoring him] Hey, hey. Hey hey hey, whoa. Talk to me.
KEVIN
You can't keep me locked in here. I'm leaving.
DEAN
Like hell! Man, we told you not to talk to Crowley, okay? He messes with your head.
KEVIN
He said my mom's alive. Crowley said if I let him go, he'd give her back to me.
DEAN
And you believed him.
KEVIN
He's still in there, isn't he?!
DEAN
Crowley's lying.
KEVIN
And if he's not?
DEAN
Well... if she is alive, then she's dead. In every way that matters, she's dead, Kevin, I'm sorry. I know you're dying to bolt, man. I get it. But out that door, it's demons, and it's angels, and they would all love to get their hands on a prophet. So even with Crowley here, this is still the safest place for you. It just is. And we need you, man.
KEVIN
Because I'm useful.
DEAN
Because you're family. (beat) After all the crap we've been through, after all the good that you've done... man, if you don't think that we would die for you... I don't know what to tell you. [KEVIN starts crying] Because you, me, Sam and Cas, we are all we've got. But hey, if none of that matters to you, then I won't stop you.
INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - DAY
SAM is doing research when DEAN enters.
DEAN
Kevin's passed out in one of the back rooms. He's a tough kid. He'll bounce back. [he pours a drink for SAM and himself] What's up with you?
SAM
Nothing. It's just... what Tracy said about me, she wasn't wrong.
DEAN puts the glasses down on the table and sits down across from SAM.
DEAN
Sam, listen to me. You have helped a hell of a lot more people than you have hurt. So all of that... that was then. Okay? Here's to now.
They clink glasses.
SAM
So, you ready for it?
DEAN
Hmm?
SAM
The fallen angels? Abaddon? Cas losing his halo, Crowley in our basement?
DEAN
Crap. We're living in a freaking sitcom. (beat) What about you, how's the uh, the engine running?
SAM
Honestly, um, I feel better than I have in a long time. I mean, I realize it's crazy out there, and we have trouble coming for us, but I look around and I see friends, and family. I am happy with my life, for the first time in... forever. (beat) I-I am, I really am. It's just, things are... things are good.
DEAN
Never better.
SAM turns back to his research. DEAN's smile falters and he knocks back the remainder of his drink in one gulp.
