Lucifer Rising

Beginning in blurry focus, we sharpen into an extreme close-up of Sam's brooding face. Cut to a wide shot of a country house, with Sam and Ruby standing by an orange car out front and Ruby says "Sam? Your head in the game here?" Sam after a short pause says "I'm good. Let's go." Ruby asks "You okay?" Sam says "I just said I was." Ruby says "Look, I know hand-holding really isn't my thing... but still, Sarah and Dean was wrong, saying what they said to you." Sam says "No, they was right to say it. I mean, I don't blame them after what I did." Ruby says "Well, after we're done, you guys will patch things up. I mean, you always do." Sam says "You're talking like I've got an 'after'." Ruby says "Don't say that." Sam says "I can feel it inside me, Ruby. I've changed... for good and there's no going back now." Ruby says "Sam---" Sam interrupts and says "Look, I know what I gotta do. It's okay, I'm just saying, Sarah and Dean better off as far away from me as possible. Anyways. Doesn't matter, let's just get this done with." They get into the car.

Inside Bobby's House daytime, Beginning in blurry focus, we sharpen into an extreme close-up of Dean's brooding face. He is staring out the window; Bobby and Sarah is behind him and Bobby says "Dean? Dean! You listen to a word I said?" Dean says "Yeah, I heard you. I'm not calling him." Bobby says "Don't make me get my gun, boy." Dean turning to face bobby and sarah says "We are damn near kickoff for Armageddon, don't you think we got bigger fish at the moment?" Bobby says "I know you're pissed and I'm not making apologies for what he's done, but he's your--" Dean interrupts and says "Blood? He's my blood, is that what you were gonna say?" Bobby says "He's your brother and he's drowning." Dean says "Bobby we tried to help him, we did. Look what happened." Bobby says "So try again." Dean says "It's too late." Bobby says "There's no such thing." Dean says "No, damnit! No. I gotta face the facts, Sam never wanted part of this family. He hated this life growing up ran away to Stanford first chance he got. Now it's like déjà vu all over again. He sits "Well, I am sick and tired of chasing him. Screw him, he can do what he wants." Bobby says "You don't mean that."

Dean says "Yes I do, Bobby. Sam's gone. He's gone. I'm not even sure if he's still my brother anymore. If he ever was." Bobby turns and leans on the table, fuming. After a moment he makes a big angry sweep with his hands, tossing books and papers to the ground. He advances on Dean who stands and says "You stupid, stupid son of a bitch! Well, boo hoo, I am so sorry your feelings are hurt, princess! Are you under the impression that family's supposed to make you feel good?! Bake you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family!" Sarah remains quiet and then Dean says "I told him, "you walk out that door, don't come back" and he walked out anyway! That was his choice!" Bobby says "You sound like a whiny brat. No, you sound like your dad. Well, let me tell you something. your dad was a coward.

Dean says "My dad was a lot of things, Bobby, but a coward?" Bobby says "He'd rather push Sam away than reach out to him. Well, that don't strike me as brave you are a better man than your daddy ever was. So you do both of us a favor. Don't be him and be the dad that baby, Sarah is carrying deserves." Dean turns back to staring out the window. We see a close-up of his face; he turns slowly, looking around in confusion at something we can't see until we pull back to reveal that the scene has shifted to, Angelic Green Room, Dean and Sarah finds themselves in a large, lavishly appointed room. The walls are painted white with gold trim and accents, and a marble table stands in the center. Castiel is there and says "Hello, Dean, Sarah It's almost time."

In the Hospital nighttime, The possessed nurse is wheeling an infant out of a patient's room "We're gonna take you to the nursery, sugar -- Let mommy and daddy get some sleep. He's a beautiful child. Absolutely scrumptious. Singing to the Baby "Patty-cake, patty-cake, baker's man bake me a cake as fast as you can. she pushes the bassinette through a door and into an abandoned corridor "Pat it and roll it" Her eyes turn black "and mark it with a "b" and put it in the oven --" She is suddenly dragged backwards by an unseen force and hurled against the far wall. Sam approaches her calmly, Ruby behind them and says "So. We need to talk."

In the Angelic Green Room, Dean pokes around the room, looking at the magnificent pastoral paintings on the walls. He turns back to the table and finds that it now holds a silver bowl packed with ice and full of beer bottles, and a large platter of hamburgers and He picks up a beer bottle and looks at it and Zachariah appears and says "Hello, Dean, Sarah You're looking fit and very Pregnant." Dean replaces the beer bottle " Well, how 'bout this? The suite life of Zach and Cas." off their blank looks "It's a... never mind. So, what is this? Where the hell are we?" Zachariah says "Call it a Green Room, We're closing in on the grand finale, here. We want to keep you both safe before showtime. indicating the food on the table "Try a burger. They're your favorite. From that seaside shack in Delaware. You were 11, I think." Dean says "I'm not hungry." Zachariah says "No? How about Ginger from season 2 of "Gilligan's Island"? You do have a thing for her, don't you?" Sarah coughs and she says "I want to know what the game plan is." Zachariah says "Let us worry about that. We want you... focused, relaxed." Dean says "Well, I'm about to be pissed and leaving, so start talking, Chuckles." Zachariah says "All the seals have fallen. Except one." Dean says "That's an impressive score. That's... that's right up there with the washington Generals." Zachariah says "You think sarcasm's appropriate, do you? Considering...you started all of this? But the final seal... it'll be different." Sarah asks "Why?" Zachariah says "Lilith has to break it. She's the only one who can. Tomorrow night -- midnight."

Dean asks "Where?" Zachariah says "We're working on it." Dean says "Well, work harder." Zachariah we'll do our job. You just make sure you do yours." Dean asks "Yeah, and what is that, exactly? If I'm supposed to be the one that stops her, how? With the ?" Zachariah says "All in good time." Dean asks "Isn't now a good time?" Zachariah says "Have faith." Sarah asks "What, in you? Give me one good reason why I should." Zachariah gets in Dean and Sarah's faces and says "Because you swore your obedience. So obey." Dean looks past him at Castiel, who looks down guiltily.

Inside a cellar nighttime, There is a flickering wood fire in the corner that provides the only light for the room. The Demonic Nurse, is laid out on the table; Sam and Ruby stand above her." Demonic Nurse struggling asks "What, no devil's trap?" Sam says "I don't need one." Demonic Nurse says "Look at you -- all roided up, It's like A-rod and Madonna over here and Sam asks "Where's Lilith?" Demonic Nurse says "I'm not scared of you." Sam says "Yeah, you are, actually. And with good reason." Demonic Nurse says "Look... what's my upside? Okay, I tell you, you kill me. I don't tell you, you still kill me. I get away somehow, Lilith will definitely kill me. So where's my carrot?" Sam says "I think what you should be worrying about is what happens before you die." Sam reaches out a hand and concentrates. She begins to scream in agony.

Dean and Sarah is now alone in the room, pacing. He's holding his phone and considers it and says "Ah, screw it." opens the phone and dials, Sam's voice recording "It's Sam. Leave me a message." Beep, Dean says "Hey, it's me. Uh... clears throat "Look, I'll just get right to it. I'm still pissed... and I owe you a serious beatdown. But... I shouldn't have said what I said. You know, I'm not Dad. We're brothers. You know, we're family and, uh... no matter how bad it gets, that doesn't change. Sammy, I'm sorry." Sarah smiles at Dean proud of what he did, He hangs up the phone.

Back in the Cellar Nighttime, Demonic Nurse still screaming in agony "Stop! Stop! Please!" Sam says "You'll tell me where she is?" Demonic Nurse says "Fine. Fine. Just... let me die." Sam drops his hand "Deal." Demonic Nurse says "Tomorrow night, midnight. She's gonna be at a convent -- St. Mary's, Ilchester, Maryland." Sam asks "A convent?" Demonic Nurse says "Lilith... She's gonna break the final seal." Sam asks "And what is the final seal?" Demonic Nurse says "I don't know. Sam begins to torture her again "Aaaah! I don't know! I don't know!" sobbing "I don't know! I swear! Please! I'm begging you. Kill me, please!" Sam says "Fine." He reaches out a hand to kill her; Ruby grabs his arm and stops him and says "Wait. You can't." Sam asks "Why not?" Ruby says "Because we've got to take her with us. It's the final run on the death star, and you need more juice than I got." Demonic Nurse says "You promised." Ruby says "Sorry, sister. You're a walking, talking can of whup-ass."

Demonic Nurse says "You bitch!" Ruby says "I know. Just can't trust anyone these days." Demonic Nurse settles back "Well, least you won't be able to crack me open that easy." Ruby That so?" Demonic Nurse says "Don't forget -- it's not just me you're bleeding. In fact, I think I'm gonna take a little... siesta in the subconscious -- hand over the wheel for a little bit." Sam says "What are you talking about?" Demonic Nurse says "Cindy McClellan, R.N., come on down!" She shuts her eyes and relaxes; the host wakes up with a gasp "What? Groans Where am I? struggles "Oh, my god, I can't move. What's going on? Help! Help me, please." Ruby annoyed says "Great."

FLASHBACK Inside St.Mary's Convent - 1972, Azazel kneels before the altar, the bloody bodies of the nuns sprawled around him. One is splayed out on the altar, facing him in a reverse-crucifixion pose. He speaks towards this one during the following "Father, look... I'm not exactly the praying type, but still... I made the sacrifice. I got you a bagful of nuns. So, uh... can you hear me? Can you whisper through the door?" Dead Nun Channeling Lucifer, in distorted gender-ambiguous voice "I'm here, my son." Azazel says "It's so good to hear your voice, Padre. I have been searching for you for so long. You have no idea. The others have lost faith. Dickless heathens. But not me." Lucifer says "You've done well." Azazel says "So, uh... how do I bust you out?" Lucifer says "Lilith." Azazel says "Lilith? Father, she's... trapped neck-deep in the pit. It won't be easy." Lucifer says "Lilith. Lilith can break the ." Azazel says "Yeah, okay. But what do I do?" Lucifer says "You must find me a child. A very special child." Azazel Eyes flash yellow "What do you mean? What child?"

Inside Motel Room, Sam is doing research on his laptop. Ruby stands in the background "You got to be kidding me." Ruby says "What?" Sam says "Get this. reading from his laptop screen "St. Mary's -- abandoned in '72 after a priest disemboweled eight nuns." Ruby smirking says "What's black and white and red all over?" Sam says "That's not funny. continuing to read "The priest said it wasn't his fault. He said a demon made him do it. And that he even remembered the demon's name." Ruby says "Yeah?" Sam says "Azazel." Ruby says "Wow. So, Lilith, Yellow-Eyes -- all the A-listers are paying visits. Certainly gives the joint credibility." Sam says "As a place where the final seal goes down." Ruby says "Well, it's good enough for me. Let's pack up Nurse Betty and hit the road."

Sam says "Hey, maybe, um... look." Ruby says "What?" Sam says "M-maybe we can find another demon." Ruby says "Sam, no. That blubbery "don't hurt me" crap -- it's just an act. She's playing you." Sam says "I'm not so sure." Ruby says "Even if she's not, there's still a hell-bitch snoozing in there. I mean, come on. It's not like you haven't done this before, right?" House, Daytime Sam manhandles Cindy down the steps and out to the car. She's struggling, pleading with him. He's trying very hard to ignore this "No. Please don't. Just listen to me, okay? My name is Cindy McClellan. I'm a nurse in the NICU over at Enfield Memorial. I have a husband named Matthew, okay? We've been married six years. He's got to be worried sick about me and I don't even know who you are, and I'm not gonna tell anybody anything please just let me go. Sam opens the trunk; she starts screaming "No! No! Please, no! Please --" he shoves her in the trunk and shuts it muffled "Help!" Sam leans on the trunk breathing heavily

Inside the Angelic GreenRoom, Dean and Sarah is frustrated. He pokes at one of the numerous figurines on one of the many mantelpieces and tips it deliberately to the ground. It shatters with a crash just as Castiel appears behind him. He turns around, looking slightly guilty "You asked to see me?" Dean coughs "Yeah, listen, I, uh, I-I need something." Castiel says "Anything you wish." Dean says "I need you to take me to see Sam." Castiel asks "Why?" Dean says "There's something I got to talk to him about." Castiel asks "What's that?" Dean sarcastic says "The B.M. I took this morning. What's it to you? Just make it snappy." Castiel says "I don't think that's wise." Dean says "Well, I didn't ask you for your opinion." Castiel says "Have you forgotten what happened the last time you met?" Dean says "No, That's the whole point. Listen, I'm gonna do whatever you mooks want, okay? I just need to tie up this one thing. Five minutes -- that's all I need." Castiel simply says "No." Dean says "What do you mean, no? Are you saying that we're trapped here?"

Castiel says "You two can go wherever you want." Dean says "Super, we want to go see Sam." Castiel says "Except there." Dean says "I want to take a walk." Castiel says "Fine. I'll go with you." Dean says "Alone." Castiel says "No."Dean says "You know what? Screw this noise. I'm out of here." They head for the door, "Through what door?" Both Dean and Sarah turns to face him, frowning. When they turns back, the door has been replaced by a smooth wall, Sarah and Dean turns back to face Castiel, who has also disappeared.Dean says "Damn it."

Road Nighttime, Ruby is driving, Sam is in the passenger seat staring at his cell phone, which displays "1 new voicemail from: Dean". He isn't playing it. Cindy screams in the trunk "What are you -- a 12-year-old girl? Just play it already." Sam says "Mind your own business." Cindy says "Let me out! Let me out!" thumping on the roof of the trunk "God, I wish she would just shut up." Ruby says "Well, that can be arranged. off Sam's glare "I don't get it. All the demons you cut with the knife -- what do you think happens to the host? How is this any different?" Sam says "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Ruby says "I know that you're having a tough time here, Sam, but we're in the final lap here. Now is not the time to grow a persqueeter." Sam says "Would you drop the friggin' attitude? I'm about to bleed and drink an innocent woman. While she watches." Ruby says "And save the world as a result." Sam says "I don't know. I-I just... I'm starting to think... maybe Dean was right." Ruby asks "About what?" Sam says "Everything." Ruby says "We're gonna see this through, right, Sam? Sam?" Cindy says "Let me out! Let me out!" screaming and thumping on the roof of the trunk.

Inside the Angelic Greenroom, Dean and Sarah are attempting to break through a wall with a pedestal. They had smashed through to the foundations, but when they pauses, the wall repairs itself. Dean throws the pedestal to the floor, "Son of a bitch." Zachariah Appearing suddenly "Quit hurling feces like a howler monkey, would you? It's unbecoming." Dean says "Let us out of here." Zachariah says "Like I told you both: too dangerous out there. Demons on the prowl." Dean says "We've seen getting my ass kicked all year. Now you're sweating my safety? You're lying. I want to see my brother." Zachariah says "That's... ill-advised." Sarah says "You know, I am so sick of your crap riddles and your smug, fat face. What the hell is going on, huh? Why can't we see Sam? And how is Dean gonna ice Lilith?" Zachariah sighs "You're not. ...Going to ice Lilith." Dean says "What?" Zachariah says "Lilith's going to break the final seal. Fait accompli at this point. Train's left the station." Dean says "But me, Sarah and Sam we can stop... he cuts off, having an epiphany "You don't want to stop it, do you?"

Zachariah says "Nope. Never did. The end is nigh. The apocalypse is coming, kiddo, to a theater near you." Dean asks "What was all that crap about saving seals?" Zachariah says "Our grunts on the ground -- we couldn't just tell them the whole truth. We'd have a full-scale rebellion on our hands. I mean, think about it. Would we really let 65 seals get broken unless senior management wanted it that way?" Sarah asks "But Why?" Zachariah says "Why not? The apocalypse? Poor name, bad marketing -- puts people off. When all it is is Ali/Foreman, On a... slightly larger scale. And we like our chances. When our side wins -- and we will -- it's paradise on earth. Now, what's not to like about that?" Dean says "What happens to all the people during your little pissing contest?" Zachariah says "Well... you can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. In this case... truckloads of eggs, but you get the picture. Look... it happens. This isn't the first planetary enema we've delivered. he notices Dean eyeing a statue on a mantelpiece "Uh, no, Dean. Probably shouldn't try to bash my skull in with that thing. Wouldn't end up too pleasant for you." Sarah asks "What about Sam? He won't go quietly. He'll stop Lilith." Zachariah inhales deeply "Sam... has a part to play. A very important part. He may need a little nudging in the right direction, but I'll make sure he plays it."

Dean asks "What does that mean? What are you gonna do to him?" Zachariah says "Sam, Sam, Sam, Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, Forget about him, would you both? Dean, You have larger concerns. Why do you think I'm confiding in you? You're still vital, Dean. We weren't lying about your destiny. Just... omitted a few pertinent details. But nothing's changed. You are chosen. You will stop it. Just... not Lilith, or the apocalypse. That's all." Dean says "Which means?" Zachariah says " Lucifer. You're going to stop Lucifer. You're our own little Russell Crowe, complete with surly attitude and when it's over... and when you've won... your rewards will be... unimaginable. Peace, happiness...Trust me -- one day, we'll look back on this and laugh." Dean says "Tell me something. Where's God in all this?" Zachariah says "God? God has left the building."

Inside Saint Mary's Nighttime, A night guard is patrolling the abandoned corridors, seemingly alone; Lilith , wearing a white sleeveless gown and the same host is suddenly behind him and she smiles innocently and she says "Howdy" The Guard says "Lady, this is private property. You're not supposed to be here." Lilith says "But I'm here for mass and so are you." Her eyes go white; the Guard screams as we cut away. Inside Angelic Greenroom, Dean is attempting to call Sam again, . He dials the phone, but hears only static. Castiel appears behind him "You can't reach him, Dean. You're outside your coverage zone." Dean asks "What are you gonna do to Sam?" Castiel says "Nothing. He's gonna do it to himself." Sarah asks "What's that supposed to mean? Castiel looks down "Oh, right, right. Got to toe the company line. Why are you here, Cas?" Castiel says "We've been through much together, you and I. And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry it ended like this." Dean says ""Sorry"?" he punches Castiel, who hardly flinches. Dean flexes in hand in pain "It's Armageddon, Cas. You need a bigger word than "sorry.""

Castiel says "Try to understand -- this is long foretold. This is your..." Dean says "Destiny? Don't give me that "holy" crap. Destiny, God's plan... It's all a bunch of lies, you poor, stupid son of a bitch! It's just a way for your bosses to keep me and keep you in line! You know what's real? People, families -- that's real. And you're gonna watch them all burn?" Castiel says "What is so worth saving? I see nothing but pain here. I see inside you. I see your guilt, your anger, confusion. In paradise, all is forgiven. You'll be at peace. Even with Sam." Dean says "You can take your peace... and shove it up your lily-white ass. 'Cause I'll take the pain and the guilt. I'll even take Sam as is. It's a lot better than being some Stepford, bitch in paradise. This is simple, Cas! No more crap about being a good soldier. There is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it." Castiel turns away "Look at me!" Dean grabs Castiel's shoulder and turns Castiel back to face him "You know it! You were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible camp. Help me -- now. Please."

Castiel asks "What would you have me do?" Dean says "Get me to Sam. We can stop this before it's too late." Castiel says "I do that, we will all be hunted. We'll all be killed." Sarah says "If there is anything worth dying for... this is it." Castiel shakes his head and looks down Dean says "You spineless... Dean turns and walks away "...soulless son of a bitch. What do you care about dying? You're already dead. We're done." Castiel says "Dean, Sarah ----." Dean says "We're done!" Dean and Sarah turns to look behind him, but Castiel has disappeared.

Road Nighttime, Sam stands before a sign that reads: ST. MARY'S CONVENT - 2 miles. Ruby is a few paces behind him, by the car. We can still faintly hear Cindy pounding and screaming in the trunk "Sam, it's time. Are we doing this or not?" Sam says "Give me a minute to think." Ruby says "Sam --" Sam says "Give me a damn minute, Ruby!" Ruby says "Better think fast." Sam surreptitiously pulls his cell phone from his pocket and presses a button and the voice on his phone says "First unheard message." Dean's voice says "Listen to me, you bloodsucking freak. Dad always said I'd either have to save you or kill you. Well, I'm giving you fair warning. I'm done trying to save you. You're a monster, Sam -- a vampire. You're not you anymore and there's no going back." Beep, Ruby smirks behind his back. Close to tears, Sam slowly lowers the phone and shuts it off "Do it." Ruby says "Thank god." she opens the trunk.

Cindy says "No!" screams and struggles, Inside the Angelic GreenRoom, Dean and Sarah is pacing. He pauses in front of the platter of hamburgers and considers. He takes one. Suddenly Castiel appears behind him, grabs them by the shoulders, and shoves him against the wall, pressing a hand over his mouth and drawing . A moment passes while they stare at each other, then Dean and Sarah nods slightly. Castiel lets him go. He draws the knife across his forearm and takes the blood with his other hand, smearing it on the wall to form the . ZAchariah appears and says "Castiel! Would you mind explaining just what the hell you're doing?" Castiel finishes drawing and slams his hand in the center of the sigil. In a violent flash of white light, Zachariah vanishes and Castiel says "He won't be gone long. We have to find Sam now." Dean asks "Where is he?" Castiel says "I don't know. But I know who does. We have to stop him, Dean, Sarah from killing Lilith." Sarah says "But Lilith's gonna break the final seal." Castiel says "Lilith is the final seal. She dies, the end begins."

Inside Chuck's House, Chuck is on the phone with what appears to be an escort service. He is pacing in his kitchen. The document on his computer screen reads "Supernatural – Lucifer Rising by Carver Edlund" "Oh, yeah? Really? At the same time? Really? Wow. T-that sounds... moist." Woman on the phone says "Well, it can be." Chuck asks "Uh, what are your rates?" Woman on the phone says "We can get you one girl, one hour -- $1,000." Chuck says "Okay. Then, uh, I'll take 20 girls for the whole night." Woman says "I'm not sure you can afford that." Chuck says "Lady, sometimes you got to live like there's no tomorrow." Castiel, Sarah and Dean appear suddenly. Chuck looks up shocked "Wait. T-t-this isn't supposed to happen." Woman says "Sir?" Chuck says into the phone "No, lady, this is definitely supposed to happen, but I just got to call you back.He hangs up "I..."

Inside St.Mary's Convent Nighttime, Lilith has acquired a number of demonic minions and is setting up something ritual-like at the altar. A minion approaches her nervously, holding a chalice full of blood. He hands it to her and looks down. She smiles at him "Don't be afraid. We're going to save the world." He walks away and she turns her back. There is a sudden deep rumbling noise. When she turns back, all of the minions that had been lining the hallway have collapsed to the ground. Around the corner, Sam appears. He stalks forward deliberately. Lilith aises a hand; the door between her and Sam slams shut.

Inside Chuck's House, Dean says "St. Mary's? What is that, a convent?" Chuck says "Yeah, but you guys aren't supposed to be there. You're not in this story." Castiel says "Yeah, well..." He glances at Dean and Sarah "We're making it up as we go." Chuck's computer screen flickers as a great rumbling begins, accompanied by a blinding white light "Aw, man! Not again! No!" Castiel says "It's the Archangel to Dean and Sarah "I'll hold him off! I'll hold them all off! Just stop Sam!" Castiel taps Sarah and Dean on the forehead, transporting them away. St Mary's Nighttime, Dean and Sarah appears in an empty part of the convent, looks around and walks down a hallway.

Castiel and Chuck, stand side by side to face what comes. Chuck places a hand on Castiel's shoulder; Castiel gives him a look, and Chuck drops his hand in embarrassment.Back in St Mary's Church, Sam enters the sanctuary and flings out a hand. Lilith is flung across the room, slamming into the altar and falling to the ground. Sam, with Ruby behind him, advances on Lilith and flings out his hand again. Lilith is forced back against the altar. Dean and Sarah comes around a corner and sees what is happening in the sanctuary. Ruby looks back at Dean and smiles she puts out a hand and the doors to the sanctuary close.

Sam walks to Lilith, We can hear a loud, gradually quickening heartbeat Sam says "I've been waiting for this... for a very long time." Lilith says "Then give me your best shot." Sam reaches out a hand, throwing his power at her. White light shines on Lilith and she cries out in pain. Sam lowers his hand, the light fades and the heartbeat slows on the other side of the door Dean says "Sam!" Sam turns to the door and Sarah says "Sam! They both bang on the door and says "Sam!" Sam says "Dean, Sarah." Ruby to Sam's ears, she is even more faint than Dean "What are you waiting for?! Now! Sam, now!" Lilith laughing says "You turned yourself into a freak. A monster. And now you're not gonna bite? I'm sorry, but that is honestly adorable."

The heartbeat quickens; Sam faces Lilith and raises his hand again. His eyes turn black as he concentrates his power and hurls it at Lilith She convulses several times, her body glowing and flickering. At last she goes limp. Sam's eyes turn back to normal and the sound of the heartbeat slows. Blood is pouring out of Lilith's body in a steady stream; the stream is flowing in what looks like a very deliberate direction Sam says "What the hell?" Ruby says "I can't believe it." Sam asks "Ruby, what's going on?" Ruby says "You did it. I mean, it was a little touch-and-go there for a while, but... you did it." Sam says "What? What -- what did I do?" Ruby says "You opened the door and now he's free at last. He's free at last!" Sam in denial says "No, no, no. No, he -- Lilith -- I stopped her. I killed her!" Ruby fervently "And it is written that the first demon shall be the last seal and you bust her open." Sam puts his hands to his head "Now guess who's coming to dinner." Sam says "Oh My God." Ruby says "Guess again." Dean pounds at the door with a large candelabra "You don't even know how hard this was! All the demons out for my head. No one knew. I was the best of those sons of bitches! The most loyal! Not even knew! Only Lilith! Yeah, I'm sure you're a little angry right now, but, I mean, come on, Sam! Even you have to admit -- I'm -- I'm awesome!"

Sam says "You bitch. You lying bitch!" He thrusts his hands at her, trying to use his powers, but he drops, clutching his head instead "Don't hurt yourself, Sammy. It's useless. You shot your payload on the boss." Sam says "The blood... You poisoned me." Ruby kneeling in front of him says "No. It wasn't the blood. It was you... and your choices. I just gave you the options, and you chose the right path every time. You didn't need the feather to fly, you had it in you the whole time, Dumbo! I know it's hard to see it now... but this is a miracle. So long coming, Everything Azazel did, and Lilith did. Just to get you here and you were the only one who could do it." Sam asks "Why? W-why me?" Ruby says "Because... because it had to be you, Sammy. It always had to be you. You saved us. You set him free. And he's gonna be grateful. He's gonna repay you in ways that you can't even imagine." Dean finally breaks in and draws the knife. Ruby stands to confront them and she says "You're too late." Dean says "I don't care." Dean advances on Ruby, Sam stands and grabs her from behind, holding her in place as Dean stabs her. She flickers with light, then crumples to the floor, dead. Sam brokenly to Sarah and Dean "I'm sorry." The blood pouring out of Lilith has finished its pattern on the floor. A brilliant white light shoots up from the central point of the pattern and the convent begins to tremble and Dean says "Sammy, let's go." Sam clutching at Dean's shirt, as Dean grabs Sam's jacket and staring at the light "Dean... he's coming."
