09x01 - I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here

[bunniefuu]

INT. IMPALA – NIGHT

DEAN is driving, SAM in the passenger seat.

SAM

This makes no sense. I mean, how many angels fell – hundreds, thousands? And nobody sees anything. This is... Look at this. They're calling it a meteor shower. Seriously? What's going on, man? You okay?

DEAN

Me? Yes. I'm fine. It's just –

SAM

It's just we got a major freakin' crap fest on our hands. Yeah, tell me about it. Thousands of superpowered dicks touching down, and we got no idea where to start.

DEAN

Angels aren't our problem right now, okay? Or demons, or Metatron, or whatever the hell happened to Cas.

SAM

Why? Because we hugged it out in that church and – and now we're gonna go to Disneyland? Dean, you said it yourself – we're not gonna sleep till this is done.

DEAN

I know.

SAM

So, what's the problem?

DEAN

You. Look, there's no easy way to say this, okay? But something happened back there in the church. And I don't know what. I don't know why. You're dying, Sam.

We hear the sound of a heart b*ating loudly.

SAM

Shut up.

A recurring beep sounds in time with the heart b*at.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

SAM lies with his eyes closed in a hospital bed. There is a tube in his nose and his arm is strapped to a beeping monitor. DEAN sits at his bedside, looking worried. DEAN turns his head to look at a television screen in the room, which shows pictures of the falling angels from 8.23 Sacrifice. The news headline reads “Global Meteor Shower.”

SUPERNATURAL (Title Card)

ACT ONE

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

DEAN is looking at medical scans. SAM lies with his eyes closed in the hospital bed.

DOCTOR

The MRI shows massive internal burns affecting many of the major organs. Oxygen to the brain has been severely deprived. The coma is the result of the body doing everything in its limited power to protect itself from further harm.

DEAN

This wasn't supposed to happen.

DOCTOR

If your brother continues on this trajectory, the machines might keep him alive, but –

DEAN

He'll be dead.

DOCTOR

Technically, yes. I'm afraid so.

DEAN

So, there's – there's no recovery? I mean, there's no bounce-back. There's no nothing.

DOCTOR

I'm afraid that's in God's hands now.

DEAN

You're a doctor. You're a medical professional. You're trying to tell me that my brother's life is in God's hands? What, is that supposed to be a – a comfort?

DOCTOR

Mr. Dougherty –

DEAN

No, God has nothing to do with this equation at all.

DOCTOR

I didn't mean –

DEAN

That's not good enough.

DEAN walks out of the hospital room and into a corridor. He sees a sign pointing to the hospital chapel.

INT. HOSPITAL CHAPEL – DAY

DEAN

Cas, are you there? Sammy's hurt. He's hurt, uh – he's hurt pretty bad. And, um... I know you think that I'm pissed at you, okay? But I don't care that the angels fell. So whatever you did or didn't do, it doesn't matter, okay? We'll work it out. Please, man, I need you here.

DEAN looks around. The chapel contains six other people, all sitting quietly.

DEAN

Screw it. Okay, listen up. This one goes out to any angel with their ears on. This is Dean Winchester... And I need your help.

INT. HOME KITCHEN – DAY

A MAN IN A SUIT, a WOMAN and two children are having breakfast around a kitchen bench.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

This is Dean Winchester...

The MAN IN A SUIT looks up.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

And I need your help.

EXT. – DAY

People are getting off a bus.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

The deal is this – Linwood Memorial Hospital...

A TALL MAN pauses and looks off into the distance.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

...Randolph, New York.

INT. HOME KITCHEN – DAY

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

The first one who can help me gets my help in return...

The MAN IN A SUIT gets up and leaves the table.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

...and you know that ain't nothin'.

WOMAN

Honey?

EXT. FIELD – DAY

A FARMER walks rapidly across the field towards his tractor.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

Hell, it's no secret that we haven't always seen eye to eye.

The FARMER starts the tractor and drives away.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

But you know that I am good for my word.

EXT. – DAY

The TALL MAN is still standing by the bus, listening.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

And, uh, I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't needing, so...

The TALL MAN gets back on the bus.

INT. HOSPITAL CHAPEL – DAY

DEAN finishes his prayer and looks down. A tear falls from his eye.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

SAM still lies in the hospital bed.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

Look, just because you're dying doesn't mean you're...

INT. COMA IMPALA – NIGHT

DEAN

... dead – not yet, okay? We've jimmied ourselves out of worse. We're gonna fight this. I got the plan. You just got to hang on. You hear me?

SAM

Absolutely.

DEAN

You think I'm lying?

SAM

Pretty much, yeah.

DEAN

You understand that we're not really in this car right now. We are in your head, and you're in a coma and are dying.

SAM

How do you know that?

DEAN

Because I'm you and you're you. All of this is you. We're in your head!

SAM

You're serious. [exhales] The whole reason I stopped doing the trials was not to die.

DEAN

And the next time we see Naomi or Metatron or whoever is to blame for this, we will get some justice, but for right now, we got to fight this, man.

SAM

Okay. All right, what's the plan?

DEAN

I'm working on it.

SAM

What does that mean? I'm kind of dying here, apparently.

DEAN

It means I'm working on it, all right?

SAM

The thing is, if I am dying – and I believe you. I do. But if you're you but you're really me and you're the part of me that wants to fight to live...

DEAN

Yes. I have no idea what you just said, but continue.

SAM

But if you don't have any idea how I'm supposed to fight, then am I supposed to be fighting at all?

DEAN

Are you serious?

BOBBY

Hell, yes, he's serious.

BOBBY has appeared in the back seat.

BOBBY

And if you ask me, I think the kid's got a good point.

EXT. FOREST ROAD – DAY

LONGMONT, COLORADO

CASTIEL is walking down the road, hearing ringing noises and voices. He narrowly avoids being hit by a pick-up by throwing himself to the side of the road. The pick-up screeches to a halt and a MAN gets out.

MAN

Hey, buddy. You okay?

CASTIEL looks at his bloody palm.

CASTIEL

It hurts.

MAN

What the hell you doing in the middle of the road like that?

CASTIEL

I heard angels.

MAN

How about we get you some water, hmm?

CASTIEL

I, uh, I don't drink water.

MAN

Dehydration's a real bitch up here, mister.

CASTIEL

A phone. Do you have a phone?

MAN

No signal up here. How about a lift, hmm?

CASTIEL

Yes. Good. I would fly, but I – I have no wings, not anymore.

MAN

Right.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

We see a close-up of SAM’s face. He is still unconscious.

DEAN (VOICE-OVER)

Sam wants to die, and you think he's got a point?

INT. COMA IMPALA – NIGHT

SAM

Okay, I don't want to die. I asked if maybe I was supposed to –

DEAN

Shut it, Sam. [to BOBBY] You – go. Oh, and, uh, before you throw me under the bus, you're welcome for the hell rescue.

BOBBY

Hey, first of all, you didn't rescue Jack, half-wit. Sam did. Second of all, Sam, you're in a coma. Now, suck as that may, sometimes that's just the way things go.

DEAN

What are you talking about? There's always a way. You taught us that.

BOBBY

Oh, you mean like the way one of you idjits does some "bass-ackwards" crazy thing to b*at death, like sell your soul?

DEAN

Exactly like selling my soul.

BOBBY

Yeah, like that worked so well the last time.

DEAN

[dismissively, waving a hand] Oh!

SAM

Enough! Both of you! I can't hear myself think!

DEAN

Well, you're not actually buying this, are you?

BOBBY

Excuse me. Are you dead? Because I am, and maybe I'm here because I'm the part of Sam that actually knows what the hell he's talking about.

DEAN

Well, I'm in the front seat because Sam put me here because he wants to fight. Right?

BOBBY suddenly appears in the front seat between SAM and DEAN.

BOBBY

Well... that just got real uncomfortable. See ya, Dean.

BOBBY puts a hand on SAM’s shoulder.

DEAN

Sam, don't you dare –

EXT. COMA FOREST – DAY

SAM and BOBBY are standing in the forest.

BOBBY

Yip, yip, yip. Am I right?

SAM

Honestly, Bobby, I – I don't know what's right.

BOBBY puts an arm around SAM’s shoulder.

BOBBY

Let's walk.

EXT. GAS STATION – DAY

The pick-up pulls up across the street from the gas station. CASTIEL gets out.

MAN

Hey.

The MAN holds out some bills.

CASTIEL

No, I can't take your money.

MAN

For the phone. And a sandwich if they have one.

CASTIEL

It's okay. I don't eat.

A YOUNG WOMAN is watching them from the back seat of a car across the street.

MAN

You'll figure something. Hmm?

CASTIEL takes the bills and some change.

MAN

Take care, kid.

The MAN drives away. CASTIEL walks past the YOUNG WOMAN in the car to the phone outside the gas station. A BIKER is talking on the phone.

BIKER (on phone)

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

CASTIEL

Hang up the phone.

BIKER (on phone)

Right.

The BIKER covers the phone and turns to face CASTIEL.

BIKER

Excuse me?

CASTIEL

This is an emergency. I don't want to hurt you.

BIKER

[on phone] Hold on, hon. [to CASTIEL] Sure you do. Hurt me.

CASTIEL

I'm sorry.

CASTIEL puts two fingers to the BIKER’s forehead. Nothing happens. CASTIEL looks perplexed and grips the top of the BIKER’s head. The BIKER pushes CASTIEL’s arm away.

BIKER

I'm gonna finish this call. Then I'm gonna s*ab you.

CASTIEL turns and walks away. The YOUNG WOMAN from the car blocks his path.

YOUNG WOMAN

I know you.

CASTIEL

I don't think so.

YOUNG WOMAN

Castiel. We met in Heaven. My name is Hael.

CASTIEL

You're an angel.

YOUNG WOMAN

Am I? What's an angel without its wings?

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

SAM is still unconscious. A WOMAN enters. DEAN, who was leaning against the window frame, stands up.

DEAN

Hi. I'm just gonna break the ice. Are you an angel?

WOMAN

Sometimes I wish I were. My name is Kim Schortz, and I'm a grief counsellor here at the hospital.

DEAN

Right. Yeah. Uh... Sorry. I'm just tired. Well, all due respect, but, uh, I'm not grieving – not yet at least, so –

KIM

I'm afraid, as hard as this may be, this might be a good time to talk... about the inevitable.

DEAN

Look, I'm sure you're a nice person and that you mean well, but "inevitable" – that's a fightin' word where I come from. There's always a way.

KIM

And I am a prayerful woman who believes in miracles as much as the next, but I also know how to read an EEG. And unless you're telling me you have a direct line to those angels that you were looking for –

DEAN

Yeah, no, I, uh... Guess I don't. But I might have something better. I got the King of Hell in my trunk.

DEAN leaves the room.

KIM

Uh, is – is that... I'm sorry. Is that a metaphor?

EXT. HOSPITAL – DAY

DEAN walks to the IMPALA and raps on the trunk.

DEAN

Crowley, listen up, you son of a bitch. One for yes, two for no. You alive?

There is no response.

DEAN

Come on, don't be a pouter.

CROWLEY, inside the trunk, hits it once.

DEAN

There we go.

The MAN IN A SUIT grabs DEAN by the back of the neck and holds and angel Kn*fe against his throat.

MAN IN A SUIT

You prayed?

DEAN

Yeah, for help.

MAN IN A SUIT

Yes. You'll be helping me.

ACT TWO

EXT. HOSPITAL – DAY

The MAN IN A SUIT forces DEAN down against the IMPALA’s trunk.

MAN IN A SUIT

If you lie to me, Dean Winchester, I will rip your throat out. Where is Castiel?

DEAN

Who's asking?

MAN IN A SUIT

Try every angel who was ejected from their home.

DEAN

Oh. Oh, well, in that case, I have no clue.

The MAN IN A SUIT slams DEAN against the IMPALA’s trunk twice. He raises the angel Kn*fe, but the TALL MAN from the bus catches his arm from behind.

TALL MAN

Easy there, brother. This young man has prayed for our assistance. Are we creatures of wrath or compassion? I would argue the latter.

MAN IN A SUIT

Forgive me, brother. I don't recognize you.

TALL MAN

Happy to make your re-acquaintance. After you disarm.

The MAN IN A SUIT lets go of DEAN and holds up his hands placatingly, then punches the TALL MAN.

TALL MAN

Come, now. Is that any way to treat a brother injured in the fall?

THE MAN IN A SUIT and TALL MAN fight. The angel Kn*fe falls to the ground. The MAN IN A SUIT flings the TALL MAN into a vehicle, breaking the window glass. DEAN stabs the MAN IN A SUIT with the angel Kn*fe. He dies in a blinding flash of white light.

DEAN

Who are you?

TALL MAN

[still leaning against the vehicle with blood on his face] Never mind me. You're Dean Winchester. I heard your prayer, and I am here to help.

The TALL MAN passes out and slides to the ground.

DEAN

Okay.

EXT. GAS STATION – DAY

CASTIEL and HAEL are sitting near the gas pumps.

HAEL

It was a normal day, and then just... dark. And then I was just... falling. How could that happen?

CASTIEL

I don't know.

HAEL

Your grace – it's... gone?

CASTIEL

I do still hear angel radio, though.

HAEL

Then you've heard them – our brothers and sisters, many still circling for vessels, most just... so afraid.

CASTIEL

There's nothing to be afraid of. I can assure you.

HAEL

But Heaven – there was order. There was purpose.

CASTIEL

Well, believe it or not, there may be something even better down here.

HAEL

I don't understand.

CASTIEL

There's opportunity for you, the others who have fallen, to do finally do what you would like to do – not just what you've been told.

HAEL

And what would I like to do?

CASTIEL

You tell me. If you could do anything, what would it be?

HAEL

There's a place. I built it when I was last here – many years ago. A grand canyon.

CASTIEL

The Grand Canyon, yes.

HAEL

I - I would like to see that.

CASTIEL

Let's go see the Grand Canyon, then.

INT. GARAGE – DAY

The TALL MAN wakes on the ground in a circle of fire. DEAN walks around outside the flames.

DEAN

You want to help? Start with a name.

TALL MAN

Ezekiel.

DEAN

All right, Ezekiel. How do I know you're not hunting me or Castiel like the other angels?

EZEKIEL

Oh, I'm sure there are many angels who are. Many more are on their way here, most likely.

DEAN

How do you know that?

EZEKIEL

You put out an open prayer like that...

DEAN

I must really be desperate.

EZEKIEL gets to his feet.

EZEKIEL

Believe it or not, some of us still do believe in our mission. And that means we believe in Castiel...and you.

DEAN

You said you were hurt during the fall.

EZEKIEL

I was. Entangling with my brother back there did me no favors. But what strength I have left, I offer to you.

EXT. COMA FOREST – DAY

SAM and BOBBY walk through the forest.

SAM

I want to fight. I do. But I just feel like...

BOBBY

Like you got nothing to swing at? Like you're punching at shadows? You got to let go of fightin' and scratchin' and lookin' for loopholes, 'cause that ain't happenin'.

SAM

So – so, what? I - I - I just die?

BOBBY

Just die? All the good you've done, all the people you've saved, all the sacrifices you've made? You've saved the world, son. How many people can say that? How many people can say that they have left this godforsaken hunk of dirt that much a better place? What you call dyin' I call leavin' a legacy.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

SAM is still unconscious. EZEKIEL puts a hand on SAM’s chest.

DEAN

You still able to cure things after the fall?

EZEKIEL

Yes, I should be, but... he's so weak.

DEAN’s phone rings and he answers.

DEAN (on phone)

Who is this?

CASTIEL (on phone)

Dean.

DEAN walks out of SAM’s room and into the hospital corridor. The scene alternates between DEAN in the hospital and CASTIEL at the gas station.

DEAN (on phone)

Cas, what the hell's going on?

CASTIEL (on phone)

Metatron tricked me. It wasn't angel trials. It was a spell. I wanted you to know that.

DEAN (on phone)

Okay. That's great, but we've got ourselves a problem.

CASTIEL (on phone)

What's wrong?

DEAN (on phone)

Sam. He's, um – they say he's dying.

CASTIEL (on phone)

What happened?

DEAN (on phone)

I don't know. I mean, first he was okay, and then he wasn't. And I – have you heard my prayers? I've been praying to you all night.

CASTIEL (on phone)

Dean, Metatron – he – he took my grace.

DEAN (on phone)

What?

CASTIEL (on phone)

Don't worry about me. What are you doing for Sam?

DEAN (on phone)

Uh, everything I can. There's actually another angel in there working on him right now.

CASTIEL (on phone)

What other angel?

DEAN (on phone)

Um, his name is Ezekiel. He's cool. I mean, I think he is.

CASTIEL (on phone)

Ezekiel. Yes. [He smiles.] He's a good soldier. He should be able to help until I get there.

DEAN (on phone)

Wait, no, no, no. No, hey, that's not an option.

CASTIEL (on phone)

It might be a few days, but –

DEAN (on phone)

Hey, Cas, listen to me. There are angels out there, okay? And they – they're looking for you, and they're pissed.

CASTIEL (on phone)

Not all of them, Dean. Some are just looking for direction. Some are just lost.

DEAN (on phone)

What are you talking about?

CASTIEL (on phone)

I met one. I think I can help her, Dean.

DEAN (on phone)

No, Cas, I know you want to help, okay? I do, but helping angels is what got you in trouble in the first place. Now, I'm begging you – for once, look out for yourself. Until we figure out what the hell is going on, trust nobody.

CASTIEL (on phone)

And do what? Just abandon them all?

DEAN (on phone)

Damn it, Cas. You hearing yourself? There's a w*r on, and it's on you. There's thousands of them out th– You said you lost your grace, right? That means you're human. That means you bleed and you eat and you sleep and all the things you never had to worry about before.

CASTIEL (on phone)

I'm fine, Dean.

There are rumbling sounds at the hospital.

DEAN (on phone)

Whoa.

CASTIEL (on phone)

What's going on?

DEAN (on phone)

I think we got more company. Look, get your ass to the bunker alone. You hear me?

CASTIEL (on phone)

Dean.

DEAN (on phone)

Go, Cas!

CASTIEL (on phone)

Dean.

DEAN hangs up and goes back into SAM’s room.

DEAN

One of yours?

EZEKIEL

Trying to secure a vessel. We need to move.

DEAN

No, no. If we move him, he dies.

EZEKIEL

If we stay, we could all die.

DEAN picks up a whiteboard marker and draws an Enochian symbol on the walls.

EXT. GAS STATION – DAY

HAEL

I don't understand. I'll come with you. We can see your friend together.

CASTIEL

It's complicated. There could be trouble. It's – it's best if I go alone. My – my friend – he... needs my help.

HAEL

I need help.

CASTIEL

You can do this, Hael. This is your chance to help people, to help yourself. I'm sorry.

CASTIEL turns away. HAEL picks up a length of wood and hits him over the head. CASTIEL falls to the ground unconscious.

ACT THREE

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

The walls and the back of the door are now covered in Enochian symbols.

DEAN

Long as these are up, no angels are coming in. No one's coming out. You gonna be okay with these?

EZEKIEL

I'll manage.

There is a ringing noise that only EZEKIEL may be able to hear.

DEAN

What?

EZEKIEL

They're here.

DEAN

Okay. Do not open this door for anybody but me. [He points to SAM.] Save him, you hear me?

DEAN leaves the room and runs down the corridor as glass flies from every window. He pulls the fire alarm.

DEAN

Everybody out! Now! Get out!

EXT. ROAD – DAY

HAEL is driving down the road with CASTIEL in the passenger seat.

INT. CAR – DAY

CASTIEL wakes in pain in the passenger seat. He puts a hand to the back of his head and finds he is bleeding. HAEL’s angel Kn*fe is on her lap.

HAEL

You understand that I couldn't just let you leave. I'd be lost without you, Castiel.

CASTIEL

Yes, I'm... beginning to see that.

HAEL

It's the least I could ask of you, considering, well... This is all your fault, isn't it? Making the angels fall? So, we'll drive to the Grand Canyon, you'll tell me more about humans, and I'll show you what I'm capable of. We're going to become more than just friends, Castiel. We're going to become one.

CASTIEL

You want to possess me.

HAEL

Your vessel is strong. [She shows him a large spreading bruise on her shoulder.] This one won't hold me much longer. You were right, Castiel. With us together, I think I could learn to like it here.

INT. HOSPITAL – DAY

DEAN approaches KIM, who is lying on the floor.

DEAN

Hey. You got to get out of here. [He helps her up.] Come on. Come on.

The FARMER comes around a corner, carrying an angel Kn*fe.

DEAN

Whoa. [to KIM] Stay behind me.

DEAN pulls out his own Kn*fe. KIM punches him from behind, then grabs him by the throat and lifts him off the ground.

KIM

Or not.

EXT. COMA FOREST – DAY

SAM and BOBBY are still walking through the forest. There is a small cabin at the end of the path.

BOBBY

There it is.

BOBBY stops walking. SAM continues on a few paces, then turns to face BOBBY.

BOBBY

Everything inside you need to help you on your way. Go on, son. I'll be waiting for you with a couple of cold ones.

DEAN stabs BOBBY from behind. BOBBY falls to the ground with a Kn*fe protruding from his chest, then vanishes.

DEAN

Sorry, old man.

SAM

Dean, are you insane?!

DEAN

Come on, Sammy. Bobby was the part of you that wants to die. I know it stings, but he had to go.

SAM

No. You have to go. When are you gonna realize it's over?! There's nothing to fight for!

DEAN

No, see, I know you don't believe that.

SAM

Really? Then what's your plan, Dean?

DEAN

My plan? [He punches Sam, who reels back.] My plan is to fight! [He pushes SAM and hits him again.] My plan is to try! My plan [he punches SAM again] is to give a damn! [He holds SAM by the front of his jacket.] Are you telling me there's nothing? Huh? You telling me there's nothing to fight for, that there's nothing to hope for?!

SAM

No. I'm telling you there is. You might not like it. You might not accept it, but it's in there. It's in that house.

DEAN

You know what's in that house! Now, I can't help you if you ain't willing to fight for yourself!

SAM

I know. [He puts his hands on DEAN’s arms so that DEAN lets go of his jacket.] It's okay. It's what I want.

SAM pats DEAN twice on the cheek. DEAN disappears. SAM stands breathing heavily for a moment, then walks towards the cabin.

INT. HOSPITAL – DAY

KIM and the FARMER are dragging DEAN down the corridor, which is covered in broken glass. They drop him on the floor.

KIM

Let me make this easy – tell me where Castiel is, or your brother's gonna wish he were dead.

DEAN

Yeah, good luck getting past the warding.

KIM

But we will.

The FARMER breaks the glass around a fire axe. KIM hauls DEAN upright.

KIM

And when we do, I'm gonna strip off all his skin, and you're gonna watch.

DEAN

Bite me.

KIM punches DEAN, sending him flying to the ground. He groans, laughs and gets to his knees.

DEAN

Anybody ever tell you you hit like an angel?

KIM kicks DEAN. He falls backwards and lies still.

EXT. COMA CABIN – DAY

SAM slowly pushes open the cabin door.

INT. COMA CABIN – DAY

SAM enters the cabin, slowly. DEATH is standing by the fireplace looking at the flames. He turns.

DEATH

Hello, Sam. I've been waiting for you.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

The axe breaks through the door in the middle of an Enochian symbol. EZEKIEL sits by SAM’s bed.

INT. HOSPITAL – DAY

DEAN, his face bloody, is slammed against a wall in the corridor. He slides down the wall to the floor, his back to the angels. The FARMER pulls the axe out of the door. DEAN holds up a hand.

DEAN

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'll tell you where Cas is. I just have one question.

KIM

Ask.

DEAN

If Heaven is locked, then where do you go when I do this?

DEAN slams his hand down onto an angel banishing sigil he’s drawn on the floor using his blood. White light floods the corridor.

KIM

Aah!

When the light fades, the angels are gone.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

DEAN enters SAM’s room. The monitor is beeping loudly. EZEKIEL is sitting by the bed with a hand to his side.

DEAN

What the hell's happening?

EZEKIEL

This just started. And the warding. I'm afraid I'm weaker than I thought.

DEAN grabs a marker and starts crossing out the sigils on the walls.

EZEKIEL

I am sorry, Dean.

DEAN

No. No, no, no. No, we had a deal, okay? I fight. You save.

EZEKIEL

And would that I could. I'm just afraid it's too late.

DEAN

Are you kidding me? Are you saying there's no way to save my brother's life?

EZEKIEL

No good ways, I'm afraid.

DEAN

Well, what are the bad ones? We're out of options here, man. Good or bad, let me hear them.

EZEKIEL

I cannot promise, but there is a chance I can fix your brother from the inside.

DEAN

From the inside. So, what, you gonna open him up? [EZEKIEL shakes his head.] What, possession? You want to possess Sam?

EZEKIEL

I told you.

DEAN

No way.

EZEKIEL

Understood. It's your call.

DEAN

No, it's Sam's call. There's no way in hell he'd say yes to being possessed by anything.

EZEKIEL

He would rather die.

DEAN nods ruefully. EZEKIEL gets painfully to his feet and waves a hand in front of the monitor, silencing it.

EZEKIEL

I'll leave you two alone, then.

EZEKIEL heads for the door.

DEAN

Wait.

ACT FOUR

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

DEAN

If I consider this – and I mean just consider it – I need something, man. You got to prove to me how bad he is.

EZEKIEL puts a hand on SAM’s forehead.

EZEKIEL

Close your eyes.

DEAN does so. EZEKIEL puts his other hand on DEAN’s forehead.

DEATH (VOICE-OVER)

I must admit, when I heard it was you...

INT. COMA CABIN – DAY

DEATH and SAM are sitting in armchairs near the fire.

DEATH

Well, I had to come myself.

SAM

I bet you get off on this.

DEATH

Perhaps. But not in the way you assume. I consider it to be quite the honor to be collecting the likes of Sam Winchester. I try so hard not to pass judgment at times like this – not my bag, you see, but you... Well played, my boy.

SAM

I need to know one thing.

DEATH

Yes.

SAM

If I go with you... can you promise that this time it will be final? That if I'm dead, I stay dead. Nobody can reverse it, nobody can deal it away... and nobody else can get hurt because of me.

DEATH

I can promise that.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

EZEKIEL takes his hand away from DEAN’s forehead.

DEAN

What the hell you doing, Sam?

EZEKIEL

As you can see, there's not much time.

DEAN

I know. Damn it. I know.

EXT. ROAD – DAY

HAEL and CASTIEL drive. CASTIEL looks at the angel Kn*fe on HAEL’s lap and notices that she is not wearing a seat belt. He puts his own seat belt on, then grabs the wheel and steers the car into some large concrete blocks.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

DEAN

How will it work?

EZEKIEL is still holding his side.

EZEKIEL

Mutual benefit, I suppose. I heal Sam while healing myself.

DEAN

And when he's healed?

EZEKIEL

I leave. It's the best of a bad situation, Dean.

DEAN

Even if I said yes, it doesn't mean squat. Sam will never say yes – not to you.

EZEKIEL

But he would say yes to you.

EXT. ROAD – DAY

CASTIEL wakes in the car, held in place by his seat belt. There is a large hole in the windshield on HAEL’s side. CASTIEL groans as he gets out of the car. He walks over to HAEL, whose face is covered with blood and broken glass. He picks up the angel Kn*fe from the ground.

CASTIEL

I don't want to hurt you.

One of HAEL’s legs is bent at 90 degrees in a direction it’s not meant to go and both her knees are very bloody.

CASTIEL

I didn't want to hurt any of them. I want to help you. I will devote my life to helping you all.

HAEL

Do you know how ridiculous you sound? Help angels? After what you did? They don't want your help, Castiel. They want your head.

CASTIEL

You're wrong. I'm one of you. I will never stop being one of you.

HAEL

Don't you get it? Together, I can protect you, Castiel.

CASTIEL

I don't need your – I don't want your protection.

CASTIEL turns and walks away.

HAEL

If you leave me here in this broken girl [CASTIEL stops] I swear it, Castiel – I will tell them where you are. And they will hunt you. Until their last breath, they will seek revenge on the angel that did this, who destroyed Heaven.

CASTIEL

Stop.

HAEL

They will seek a vengeance on you that will make God striking down Lucifer seem like child's play.

CASTIEL

Stop it.

HAEL

I will go on angel radio and tell them everything unless you open your heart and say yes.

CASTIEL stabs her in the chest with the angel Kn*fe. White light flares from her mouth, eyes and the Kn*fe wound as she dies.

INT. COMA CABIN – DAY

DEATH stands up.

DEATH

It's time, Sam. Shall we?

SAM stands up to follow DEATH.

DEAN

Hold on.

SAM

Dean.

DEAN

It's okay, Sam. [to DEATH] I, uh, would have brought cronuts, but time is short, so...

DEATH

By all means.

SAM

What's going on?

DEAN

I found a plan.

SAM

It's too late. I'm going.

DEAN

No, no. No, no. Listen to me.

SAM

Why are you even here? I'm not fighting this anymore!

DEAN

You have to fight this! I can fix this, okay? But not if you shut me out. [to DEATH] It's not his time.

DEATH

That's for Sam to decide.

DEAN

Sam, listen to me. I made you a promise in that church. You and me, come whatever. Well, hell, if this ain't whatever... But you got to let me in, man. You got to let me help. There ain't no me if there ain't no you.

SAM looks at DEATH, then back to DEAN.

SAM

What do I do?

DEAN

Is that a yes?

SAM looks at DEATH again and back to DEAN.

SAM

Yes.

DEAN

Come on.

DEAN puts a hand on SAM’s shoulder and morphs into EZEKIEL. SAM looks alarmed. White light floods the room.

ACT FIVE

INT. HOSPITAL – DAY

A man is sweeping glass in the corridor outside SAM’s room.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

The DOCTOR enters SAM’s room and sees the Enochian sigils on the walls. EZEKIEL is on the bed.

DOCTOR

Who are you? What the hell is going on here?

TALL MAN (formerly possessed by EZEKIEL)

I have no idea.

EXT. HOSPITAL – DAY

DEAN and SAM are walking away from the hospital.

DEAN

So? How's it look in there?

EZEKIEL IN SAM’S BODY

Not good. There is much work to be done.

SAM’s body is moving much more stiffly than normal and he speaks in EZEKIEL's manner.

DEAN

Yeah, but he's gonna wake up, right?

EZEKIEL IN SAM’S BODY

He will.

DEAN

So, what he does – what, is he gonna feel you inside, triaging his spleen?

EZEKIEL IN SAM’S BODY

He will not feel me, no. There is no reason for Sam to know I'm in here at all.

DEAN

You're joking. No, this is – this is too big.

EZEKIEL IN SAM’S BODY

And what will he do if you do tell him he is possessed by an angel?

DEAN

Well, he'll have to understand.

EZEKIEL IN SAM’S BODY

And if he does not? Without his acceptance, Sam can eject me at any time, especially with me so weak. And if Sam does eject me, he will die.

DEAN

Then we keep it a secret for now. Or until Sam's well enough that he doesn't need an angelic pacemaker or I find a way to tell him. I - I... As for him being in a hospital, I'll have to figure something out.

EZEKIEL IN SAM’S BODY

I can erase it all, if you like. He will not remember any of this.

INT. LAUNDROMAT – NIGHT

CASTIEL, his face and clothes bloody, enters the Laundromat. A woman with white hair is taking clothes out of a dryer. CASTIEL puts quarters on the top of a washing machine. He takes off his trenchcoat, suit jacket, tie and shirt, puts everything he’s removed into the washing machine and stands in his boxers and bare feet. He puts a coin into a slot in the machine, but pauses as he catches sight of a vending machine. A sign on the side reads “For a better wash, do not overload the machines.” He takes the coin back out of the slot and looks undecided as he stares at the products in the vending machine. He looks down at his bloody clothes in the washing machine, then at a basket of clothes nearby.

CUT TO:

EXT. LAUNDROMAT – NIGHT

CASTIEL, wearing clothes from the basket, leaves the Laundromat holding a bottle of water. He drains the bottle.

INT. IMPALA – NIGHT

DEAN is driving, SAM asleep in the passenger seat. SAM wakes.

SAM

Where are we?

DEAN

Whoa. Sam?

SAM

What?

DEAN

Okay, take – take it easy. How you, uh – how you feeling?

SAM

Tired. Like I – like I slept for a week.

DEAN

Well, try a day. You've been out since the sky was spittin' angels.

SAM

What the hell happened?

DEAN

What do you remember?

SAM

The church, feeling like crap, the angels falling, and that's it.

DEAN

But you're feeling good?

SAM

Yeah. I mean, I just, um... You've been driving around with me passed out in the passenger's seat for a day?

DEAN

Oh, I mean, I stopped, you know, let a few Japanese tourists take some pictures. Nobody got too handsy. I knew you'd pull through. I meant what I said at the church. You're capable of anything, Sam, and hell if you didn't prove me right.

SAM

Good. 'Cause we got work to do.
