THEN

EXT. Lisa BRAEDEN's HOME - DAY

Lisa BRAEDEN

Dean!

Dean

Lisa. You know how I never mentioned my job? This is my job.

Lisa: Ben wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you. You're welcome to stay.

Dean

I can't. It's not my life.

INT. MOTEL - DAY

Castiel

There is someone besides Michael strong enough to take on Lucifer.

Sam: Who's that?

Castiel

God. I'm going to find God.

INT. GARDEN OF HEAVEN - DAY

JOSHUA

I'm Joshua.

Sam: You talk to God?

JOSHUA

He knows that the Apocalypse has begun. He just doesn't think it's His problem.

Dean

Not His problem?

JOSHUA

He's finished.

Dean

Just another deadbeat dad with a bunch of excuses, right?

INT. Hotel - NIGHT

Castiel

Maybe Joshua was lying.

Sam: I don't think he was.

Castiel

You son of a bitch. I believed...

Sam: Find another way. We can still stop all this, Dean.

Dean

How?

Sam: I don't know. But we'll find it. You and me. We'll find it.

NOW

Act One

EXT. Impala, HIGHWAY - NIGHT

Sam: Drive faster, Dean.

Dean

I can't! Are you okay?

Sam: Yeah, I'm amazing.

Dean

You ever seen that many?

Sam: No. No way, not in one place.

Dean

What the hell?

Dean

Damn it!

ROB says Enochian exorcism.

Dean

Well that's something you don't see every day.

ROB

You two alright?

Dean

Peachy.

ROB

Be careful. It's…dangerous around here.

Dean

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

ROB

No need to thank us.

Dean

No, hold up a sec! Who are you?

ROB

We're the Sacrament Lutheran Militia.

Dean

I'm sorry—the what?

ROB

I hate to tell you this, but those were demons and this is the Apocalypse. So…buckle up.

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT

Sam: Looks like we're in the Same line of business.

Dean

And among colleagues. That's a police-issued shotgun. That truck is, uh…inspired. Where'd you guys pick up all this crap?

PAUL

You know you pick things up along the way.

Dean

Guys, come on. This whole corner of the state is nuts with demon omens. We just want to help. That's all.

Sam: We're on the Same team here. Just talk to us.

ROB

Follow us.

EXT. CHURCH - DAY

JANE

Dylan, it's a church. Headphones off.

DYLAN

Yes, mom.

INT. CHURCH - DAY

PASTOR GIDEON

Who would have thought the Apocalypse could be so romantic? Marriage, family—it's a blessing. Especially in times like this. So hold on to that.

Sam: Wedding?

Sam scoffs.

Sam: Seriously?

PAUL

Yeah. We've had eight so far this week.

EXT. CHURCH - DAY

CROWD

Congratulations! Yay!

PASTOR GIDEON

So Rob tells me you boys hunt demons.

Sam: Uh…yes sir.

PASTOR GIDEON

You missed a few.

Sam: Yeah. Tell us about it. Any idea why they're here?

PASTOR GIDEON shakes his head.

PASTOR GIDEON

They sure seem to like us, though. Follow me, gentlemen.

INT. CHURCH - DAY

Dean

So you're a preacher?

PASTOR GIDEON

Not what you expected, huh?

Dean

Well, dude, you're packing.

PASTOR GIDEON

Strange times.

INT. CHURCH BASEMENT - DAY

Dean

Is that a twelve-year-old packing salt rounds?

PASTOR GIDEON

Everybody pitches in.

Sam: So, the whole church?

PASTOR GIDEON

The whole town.

Dean

A whole town full of hunters. I don't know whether to run screaming or buy a condo.

PASTOR GIDEON

Well the demons were k*lling us. We had to do something.

Sam: So why not call the National Guard?

PASTOR GIDEON

We were told not to.

Sam: By who?

PASTOR GIDEON doesn't answer.

Dean

Come on, Padre. You're as locked and loaded as we've ever seen. And that exorcism was Enochian. Someone's telling you something.

PASTOR GIDEON

Look, I'm sorry, I, uh, I can't discuss it.

LEAH GIDEON

Dad, it's okay.

PASTOR GIDEON

Leah—

LEAH

It's Sam and Dean Winchester. They're safe. I know all about them.

Dean

You do?

LEAH

Sure. From the angels.

Dean

The angels. Awesome.

LEAH

Don't worry. They can't see you here. The…marks on your ribs, right?

Sam: So you know all about us because angels told you?

LEAH

Yes. Among other things.

Dean

Like the snappy little exorcism spell.

LEAH

And they show me where the demons are going to be, before it happens. How to fight back.

PASTOR GIDEON

Never been wrong. Not once. She's very special.

LEAH

Dad…

Dean

And let me guess. Before you see something, you get a really bad migraine, you see flashing lights?

LEAH

How'd you know?

Dean

‘Cause you're not the first prophet we've met. But you are the cutest.

PASTOR GIDEON gives Dean a look.

Dean

I mean that with total respect, of course.

INT. PAUL's TAVERN - DAY

Castiel's VOICEMAIL

You have reached the voicemail box of: Castiel

I don't understand why, why do you want me to say my name?

Castiel presses random buttons.

Sam: Cas, hey, uh, it's me. So we are in Blue Earth, Minnesota, and um, we could use a little help. I…hope you get this.

Sam: Busy night?

PAUL

I'm telling you, since The End started, it's been like one long last call. That round's on me.

Sam: Thanks.

Dean

So, did you get a hold of Cas?

Sam: Yeah, I left him a message. I think. So uh, what's your theory? Why all of the demon hits?

Dean

I don't know. Gank the girl? The prophet, maybe?

Sam shakes his head.

Dean

What?

Sam: Just these angels are sending these people to do their dirty work.

Dean

Yeah. And?

Sam: And they could get ripped to shreds.

Dean

We're all gonna die, Sam. In like a month—maybe two. I mean it. This is the end of the world, but these people aren't freaking out. In fact they're running to the exit in an orderly fashion. I don't know that that's such a bad thing.

Sam: Who says they're all gonna die? What ever happened to us saving them?

Church bells toll, people exit.

Dean

Something I said?

Sam: Paul. What's going on?

PAUL

Leah's had another vision.

Sam: Wanna go to church?

Dean

You know me—downright pious.

INT. CHURCH - DAY

PASTOR GIDEON

Three miles off Talmadge Road.

LEAH whispers to PASTOR GIDEON.

PASTOR GIDEON

Five miles. There are demons gathered. I…don't know how many, but a lot. Thank you, Leah. So, who's going to join me?

ROB

Wouldn't miss it.

PAUL

Someone's got to cover Rob's ass.

Dean

We're in, Padre.

PASTOR GIDEON

Thank you. I'd like to offer a prayer. "Our Father in Heaven--

Dean

Yeah, not so much.

PASTOR GIDEON

Help us to fight in your name. We ask that you protect us from all servants of evil. Guide our hands in defeating them, and deliver us home, safely. Thank you, Amen.

EXT. WOODS – DAY

PASTOR GIDEON directs the crew to battle.

INT. Demon HOUSE - DAY

DYLAN speaks Enochian exorcism.

PASTOR GIDEON speaks Enochian exorcism.

DYLAN speaks Enochian exorcism.

EXT. WOODS - DAY

Sam sighs.

Sam: I guess that's what it's like, huh?

Dean

What?

Sam: Having backup.

DYLAN

Dean. Sam.

Dean

Yo.

DYLAN

Hey. So, um, is—is that—is that cool that I get a ride back with you guys?

Dean

Hey, you've saved my ass twice already. One more time, you can drive. Get a beer?

Dean

Hey, you earned it. Don't tell your mom.

DYLAN

Oh, believe me—I will not.

DYLAN screams.

Dean

Dylan!

DYLAN is att*cked by a demon and k*lled.

Dean

No!

Act Two

EXT. CHURCH - DAY

Dean

Ma'am, we're just, um, very sorry.

JANE

You know…this is your fault.

ROB

Jane. Come on.

INT. CHURCH - DAY

PASTOR GIDEON

I wish I knew what to say. But I don't. I'm so sorry, Jane, Rob. There are no words. Dylan… I don't know why this happened. I don't know why any of this is happening. I got no easy answers. But what I do know is—Leah, honey?

LEAH falls and has a seizure.

PASTOR GIDEON

Leah, honey? Honey? It's okay sweetie. It's okay.

LEAH

Dad, it's Dylan.

PASTOR GIDEON

Just rest a minute, huh?

LEAH

No, listen. Dylan's coming back.

ROB

Jeez.

LEAH

Jane, Rob… It's going to be okay. You'll see Dylan again. When the final day comes, Judgement Day, he'll be resurrected and you'll be together again. We'll all be together. With all our loved ones. We've been chosen. The angels have chosen us. And we will be given paradise on earth. All we have to do is follow the angels' commandments.

EXT. CHURCH - DAY

Sam: No drinking, no gambling, no premarital sex. Dean, they basically just outlawed ninety percent of your personality.

Dean

Yeah, well, whatever. When in Rome.

Sam: So, uh…you're cool with it?

Dean

I'm not cool. I'm not, not cool. I'm just, look man, I'm not a prophet. We're not locals. It's not my call. I'll catch up with you.

INT. CHURCH OFFICE - DAY

Dean

This a bad time?

LEAH

In general. Now's okay.

Dean

Angel stuff really takes it out of you, huh?

LEAH

Can't complain. I know you have it worse. So…what's on your mind, Dean?

Dean sighs.

Dean: Don't take this the wrong way but…are you on the level?

LEAH

About what?

Dean

About paradise.

LEAH

What about it?

Dean

I want to know what the angels are telling you. Everything.

LEAH

Well, uh…

Dean:

You can skip the rainbows.

LEAH

There's gonna be a prize-fight. And…it's gonna get bad. But after we win—and we will—the planet gets handed over to the chosen. And…it's finally peaceful. No monsters, no disease, no death. You're just…with the people you love.

Dean

Of course, that's if you can get past the velvet rope. Must be nice—being chosen.

LEAH

Well, Dean…you're chosen.

Dean

Yeah, more like cursed.

LEAH

Must be hard. Being the Vessel of Heaven and having no hope.

INT. PAUL's TAVERN - DUSK

Sam: Hey. So what happened to, uh, "the Apocalypse is good for business?"

PAUL

Oh yeah, right up until Leah's angel pals banned the good stuff. Wanna help me k*ll some inventory?

Sam: Sure.

PAUL

Don't get me wrong. I grew up here. I love this town, but uh, well, these holy rollers?

Sam: Yeah, yeah, I uh, I noticed you're not the praying type.

PAUL

Yeah, well, between you and me, neither are half those guys. A couple of months back, they're all in here, getting wasted, banging the nanny. Now they're all Warriors of God. Cheers.

Sam: Cheers.

PAUL

Look, there's sure as hell demons. And maybe there is a God. I don't know. Fine. But I'm not a hypocrite. I never prayed before and I ain't starting now. If I go to hell, I'm going honest. How ‘bout you?

Sam: What about me?

PAUL

Not a true believer, I take it.

Sam: I believe, yeah. I do. I'm just. Pretty sure God stopped caring a long time ago.

Sam and PAUL scoff.

INT. GREEN VALLEY MOTEL - NIGHT

Dean

Where you been?

Sam: Drinkin'.

Dean

You rebel.

Sam: I'd have had more, um, but it was curfew.

Dean

Right.

Sam: You hear they shut down the cell towers?

Dean

No. That's, uh, news to me.

Sam: Yeah. No cable, internet. Total cut off from the "corruption of the outside world."

Dean

Huh.

Sam: Don't you get it? They're turning this place into some kind of fundamentalist compound.

Dean

No, I get it.

Sam: And all you've got's a "hmm?" What's wrong with you?

Dean

I get it. I just don't care.

Sam: What?

Dean

What difference does it make?

Sam: It makes a hell of a—

Sam: At what point does this become too far for you? Stoning? Poisoned Kool-Aid? The angels are toying with these people!

Dean

Angel world, angel rules, man.

Sam: And since when is that okay with you?

Dean

Since the angels' got the only lifeboats on the Titanic. I mean, who exactly is supposed to come along and save these people? It was supposed to be us, but we can't do it.

Sam: So what? You wanna, you wanna just want to stop fighting, roll over?

Dean

I don't know, maybe.

Sam: Don't say that.

Dean

Why not?

Sam: Cause you can't do this.

Dean

Actually, I can.

Sam: No you can't. You can't do this to me.

Sam: I got one thing, one thing, keeping me going. You think you're the only one white-knuckling it here, Dean? I can't count on anyone else. I can't do this alone.

Sam: Dean.

Dean

I got to clear my head.

Sam: It's past curfew. It's past curfew.

Act Three

INT. CHURCH - NIGHT

ELISE

Leah, what's wrong?

LEAH

Daddy, can I talk to you for a second?

PASTOR GIDEON

Of course.

PASTOR GIDEON

Leah, honey, w-what is it?

LEAH

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They're just so angry.

PASTOR GIDEON

Who's angry?

LEAH

The angels.

PASTOR GIDEON

Why are they angry?

LEAH

They said… They said that we can't go to paradise.

JANE

What? But we're doing everything they say!

LEAH

They said they gave clear commandments, but some people aren't listening.

ROB

Who, Leah?

INT. MOTEL - NIGHT

Castiel

I got your message. It was long, your message. And I find the sound of your voice grating.

Sam: What's wrong with you? Are you…drunk?

Castiel

No!…Yes.

Sam: What the hell happened to you?

Castiel

I found a liquor store.

Sam: And?

Castiel

And I drank it. Why'd you call me?

Sam: Whoa. There you go. Easy. Are you okay?

Castiel

Don't ask stupid questions. Tell me what you need.

Sam: T-there have been these—these demon att*cks. Massive, right on the edge of town. And we can't figure out why they're—

Castiel

Any sign of angels?

Sam: Sort of. They've been speaking to this prophet.

Castiel

Who?

Sam: This girl, Leah Gideon.

Castiel

She's not a prophet.

Sam: I'm pretty sure she is. Visions, headaches—the whole package.

Castiel

The names of allthe prophets, they're seared into my brain. Leah Gideon is not one of them.

Sam: Then what is she?

EXT. STRIP MALL – NIGHT

Dean is walking and hears loud voices and smashing glass.

INT. PAUL's TAVERN - NIGHT

PASTOR GIDEON

Please, guys, guys, guys!

PAUL

I'm not going to tell you again!

PASTOR GIDEON

Take a breath, both of you!

PAUL

You come onto my property, spouting some kind of crazy—

ROB

Sorry, Paul. There's no other way!

PAUL

Come on! What country is this, huh?

Dean

Need a hand, Padre?

PASTOR GIDEON

Just, everybody cool down for a minute!

PAUL

"Cool down," hmm? My friends are trying to run me out of town. Do you think I should cool down?

ROB

I'm sorry, Paul. It is not our choice.

PAUL

Oh, come on. That's bull.

ROB

You've got to go—for everyone's sake!

PAUL

We grew up together. I stood up at your wedding!

JANE

Yes, you did. But that was then. And now you're standing against the flock.

PAUL

That's not true. I fight with you.

JANE

This is a town of believers, Paul. You are not a believer.

ROB

Don't make this hard for us.

PAUL

Hard for you? No. This is my home. You want me out of here? You'll have to drag me out.

Dean: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't want to do this.

ROB

Get out of my—

PASTOR GIDEON

No, no, no.

JANE

No one's gonna stop me from seeing my son again.

INT. MOTEL - DAY

Sam: We went out looking for—You alright?

Dean

Yeah. It's—it's not my blood. Paul's dead.

Sam: What?!

Dean

Jane sh*t him.

Castiel

It's starting.

Dean

What's starting? Where the hell have you been?

Castiel: On a bender.

Dean

Did he—did you say "on a bender?"

Sam: Yeah. He's still pretty smashed.

Castiel

It is not of import. We need to talk about what's happening here.

Dean

Well I'm all ears.

Sam: Well, for starters…Leah is not a real prophet.

Dean

Well, what is she, exactly?

Castiel

The whore.

Dean

Wow. Cas, tell us what you really think.

Castiel

She rises when Lucifer walks the earth. "And she shall come, bearing false prophecy." This creature has the power to take a human's form, read minds. Book of Revelation calls her "the Whore of Babylon."

Dean

Well, that's catchy.

Sam: The real Leah was probably k*lled months ago.

Dean: What about the demons attacking the town?

Castiel: They're under her control.

Dean

And the Enochian exorcism?

Castiel

Fake. It actually means, "you, um, breed with the mouth of a goat."

Castiel: It's funnier in Enochian.

Dean

So the demons smoking out—that's just a con? Why? What's the endgame?

Castiel

What you just saw—innocent blood spilled in God's name.

Sam: You heard all that heaven talk. She manipulates people.

Dean: To slaughter and k*ll and sing preppy little hymns. Awesome.

Castiel

Her goal is to condemn as many souls to hell as possible. And it's…just beginning. She's well on her way to dragging this whole town into the pit.

Dean

Alright. So, then, how do we go Pimp of Babylon all over this bitch?

INT. CHURCH BASEMENT – DAY

JANE

I only wanted to…Did I make it worse? Did I make the angels angry?

LEAH

Jane. The angels—they understand.

JANE

They do?

LEAH

What you did was for the greater good.

JANE

Yes. Yes.

LEAH

We all liked Paul. But he was a sinner, and he would have taken us down with him. You saved us.

JANE

Thank you.

PASTOR GIDEON

How can that be okay? She k*lled him. That sin is so much greater—

LEAH

It's not a sin to strike down evil.

PASTOR GIDEON

But how can the angels—

LEAH

You always taught me we have to have faith.

INT. MOTEL - NIGHT

Castiel puts down a wooden stake on the table in front of Sam and Dean.

Castiel

The whore can be k*lled with that. It's a stake made from a cypress tree in Babylon.

Dean

Great. Let's ventilate her.

Castiel

It's not that easy.

Dean

‘Course not.

Castiel

The whore can only be k*lled by a true Servant of Heaven.

Dean

Servant, like…

Castiel

Not you. Or me. Sam, of course, is an abomination. We'll have to find someone else.

INT. CHURCH - NIGHT

LEAH

The angels…I don't know why they've chosen us. But they have. And today…Today, they told me the most important thing yet. Tonight, at midnight…I'm sorry. It's just that we knew this day would come, and it's here—the final judgement. Now, we need to do this right. We don't have much time. They angels said we're not ready. There are still a few elements that need to be taken care of. Sinners.

CROWD murmurs and looks around at each other.

PASTOR GIDEON (to the crowd)

Now, uh, now, everybody calm down. Just hold on.

PASTOR GIDEON (to LEAH)

Leah, you're scaring these people.

LEAH

Now, I don't want us to panic, but we have to hurry.

PASTOR GIDEON (to LEAH)

Stop it.

LEAH

I've been given instructions, names.

PASTOR GIDEON (to LEAH)

Wait. Let's go. What are you doing? Stop it! You're going to get somebody k*lled.

LEAH

Let me go. Or the next sinner I name will be you.

EXT. CHURCH PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Castiel

Pastor David Gideon.

PASTOR GIDEON

Yeah. Who are you?

Castiel

I'm an angel of the Lord.

PASTOR GIDEON

Yeah, sure.

INT. MOTEL - NIGHT

PASTOR GIDEON

What the hell was that?

Dean

Yeah, he wasn't lying about the angel thing. Have a seat, Padre. We got to have a chat.

PASTOR GIDEON looks at the cypress stake and shakes his head.

PASTOR GIDEON

No. She's my daughter.

Dean

I'm sorry, but she's not. She's the thing that k*lled your daughter.

PASTOR GIDEON

That's impossible.

Sam: But it's true. And deep down, you know it. Look, we get it—it's too much. But if you don't do this, she's going to k*ll a lot of people. And damn the rest to hell.

Dean picks up the stake and holds it out to PASTOR GIDEON.

PASTOR GIDEON

It's just…Why does it have to be me?

Castiel

You're a Servant of Heaven.

PASTOR GIDEON

And you're an angel.

Castiel

Poor example of one.

EXT. MOTEL - NIGHT

Dean closes the trunk of the Impala, walks around the driver's side, and reaches in an open window. He grabs a bottle of aspirin.

Dean

Heads up.

Dean tosses the bottle to Castiel.

Castiel

How many should I take?

Dean:

You? You should probably just down the whole bottle.

Castiel

Thanks.

Dean

Yeah, don't mention it. Yeah, I've been there. I'm a big expert on deadbeat dads. So…Yeah, I get it. I know how you feel.

Castiel

How do you manage it?

Dean

On a good day, you get to k*ll a whore.

INT. CHURCH BASEMENT - NIGHT

ELISE

Rob, Jane, please! Come on, it's me! It's Elise!

JANE

Sorry. Really. But you know we have to do this.

LEAH

We're putting them in the storage unit.

ELISE

No! No!

CROWD shouts and pushes, trying to get out.

LEAH

Jane, is that everyone?

JANE

Yeah.

LEAH

Okay, then. Get the keRosene.

LEAH

What?

JANE

There are kids in there.

LEAH

The angels named them for a reason. Jane…Your son needs you to do this.

INT. CHURCH OFFICE - NIGHT

LEAH looks into a mirror in the wardrobe and shows her true face.

Castiel grabs LEAH and holds her for PASTOR GIDEON.

LEAH

Daddy! Don't hurt me!

Sam: Gideon, now!

LEAH chants in Enochian, putting a spell on Castiel.

LEAH

Pizin noco iad.

Castiel: Aah!

LEAH uses a form of telekinesis to push away PASTOR GIDEON, Sam, and Dean. She runs off while they get up.

Sam: Gideon! Wait! No!

Castiel is left groaning on the ground.

INT. CHURCH BASEMENT – NIGHT

LEAH

Help me! He's a demon!

CROWD fights PASTOR GIDEON as he comes in, causing him to lose the cypress stake.

LEAH

Light the keRosene.

Dean: Come on, come on!

The SINNERS locked in the storage room beg to be let out.

Sam tackles ROB before he can light the keRosene, and then throws the lighter across the room.

LEAH knocks Dean down with her telekinesis.

Dean reaches for the cypress stake.

LEAH

Please. Like you're a servant of Heaven.

JANE

Let me go!

LEAH

This is why my team's gonna win. You're the great vessel? You're pathetic, self-hating, and faithless. It's the end of the world. And you're just gonna sit back and watch it happen.

Dean grabs the stake, punches LEAH, and stakes her.

Dean

Don't be so sure, whore.

LEAH's body shakes and the stake catches on fire. It explodes, leaving a burning hole where it entered her body.

JANE

But…I don't understand. How are we supposed to get to paradise now?

Dean

I'm sorry. Pretty sure you're headed in a different direction.

PASTOR GIDEON attempts to stand. Sam grabs him and helps him up.

Sam: Gotcha.

Dean: Come on.

EXT. CHURCH BASEMENT's STAIRS – NIGHT

Dean and Sam have Castiel and PASTOR GIDEON and are helping them walk up the stairs.

Sam: Dean, how did you do that?

Dean

What?

Sam: k*ll her.

Dean

Long run of luck held out, I guess.

Sam: Last I checked, she could only be ganked by a servant of Heaven.

Dean

Well, what do you want me to tell you? I saw a sh*t. I went for it.

Sam and Dean get PASTOR GIDEON and Castiel into the backseat of the Impala.

Dean: Alright. Here we go.

Sam: Watch your head, now.

Sam: Are you gonna do something stupid?

Dean

Like what?

Sam: Like Michael stupid.

Dean

Come on, Sam. Give me a break.

INT. MOTEL – NIGHT

Dean

How's the head?

PASTOR GIDEON

I'm seeing double. But that may be the painkillers.

Dean: You'll be okay.

PASTOR GIDEON

No.

Sam: Where you going?

Dean

I'm just gonna grab some clean bandages out of the trunk. Relax.

Sam: There. How's that?

Dean starts the Impala and revs the engine. Sam runs out after him while Dean speeds away.

EXT. MOTEL PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Sam: Damn it! Dean! Dean!

Act Four

EXT. HIGHWAY – NIGHT

Dean is driving alone.

EXT. FRONT PORCH - DAY

Dean knocks. Lisa BRAEDEN answers.

Lisa: Dean.

Dean

Hi, Lisa. I didn't have your number, uh, so…

Lisa: No. No, it's okay. I'm—I'm…just surprised.

Dean

How's Ben?

Lisa: Good. Good. He's at baseball.

Dean

You moved. It's a…nice house.

Lisa: Dean, you didn't come all the way here to talk about real estate. You alright?

Dean

No, not really.

Lisa: Well, what is it?

Dean: Look, I have no illusions, okay? I know the life that I live, I know how that's gonna end for me. Whatever. I'm okay with that. But I wanted you to know…that when I do picture myself happy…it's with you. And the kid.

Lisa: Wow.

Dean:

I mean, you don't have to say anything.

Lisa: No, I…I mean, I know. I know. I want to. Come inside. Let me get you a beer.

Dean

I wish I could. Take care of yourself, Lisa.

Lisa: No, wait, wait! You can't just drop a bombshell like that and then leave.

Dean

I know. I'm sorry. But I don't have a choice.

Lisa: Yeah, you do. You do. You can come inside and let me get you a beer. We can talk.

Dean

Lisa, wait a minute. Things are about to get really bad.

Lisa: Like how? Like your kind of bad?

Dean

Worse. Next few days, the crap you're gonna see on your TV, it's gonna be downright trippy. Scary. But I don't want you to worry, because I'm making arrangements for you and Ben.

Lisa: Arrangements?

Dean

Whatever happens, you're gonna be okay.

Lisa: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Dean

The people that I'm gonna see next, they're not gonna get anything from me without agreeing to a few conditions.

Lisa: Just...just come inside. Please. And whatever you're thinking of doing, don't do it.

Dean:

I have to.

Lisa: Just stay an hour. At least say bye to Ben.

Dean

It's better if I don't.

Dean kisses Lisa.

Dean: Bye, Lisa.
