SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

Inside Car nighttime, Sarah, Sam and Dean drive in a rented car, Radio Announcer 1 "—and Governor O'Malley urged calm—saying it's very unlikely an abandoned convent would be a target for terrorists, either foreign or homegrown." Dean says "Change the station." Sam pokes a button on the digital radio Radio Announcer 2 says "Hurricane Kinley, unexpectedly slamming into the Galveston area—Radio Announcer 3 says "announced a successful test of the North Korean nuclear—" Radio Announcer 4 says "—a series of tremors—" Radio Announcer 5 says "—swine flu—" The radio shuts off. Sam sighs, Silence Sam says "Dean, look—" Dean says "Don't say anything." A pause "It's okay. We just got to keep our heads down and hash this out, all right?" A pause sam says "Yeah, okay." Sarah asks "All right, well, first things first—How did we end up on Soul Plane?" Sam says "Angels, maybe? I mean, you know, beaming us out of harm's way?" Dean says "Well, whatever. It's the least of our worries. We need to find Cas."

Inside Chuck's House, Daytime Sarah, Sam and Dean walk through the devastated house. A noise, and they both turn: nothing they keep looking around, Chuck jumps out and hits Sam on the head with a toilet plunger. Sam stumbles back, hand to his head "Geez! Ow!" Chuck says "Sam." Sam says "Yeah!" Dean says "Hey, Chuck." Chuck says "So...you're okay?" Sam says "Well, my head hurts." Chuck says "No, I mean—I mean, my—My last vision." Chuck says "You went, like, full-on Vader, Your body temperature was one-fifty. Your heart rate was two hundred. Your eyes were black." Sarah says "Your eyes went black?" Sam looks back over his shoulder and says "I didn't know."

Dean asks "Where's Cas?" Chuck says "He's dead or gone, The archangel smote the crap out of him I'm sorry." Dean says "You're sure? I mean, maybe he just vanished into the light or something." Chuck says "Oh, no. He, like, exploded Like a water balloon of chunky soup." Sam takes a closer look at Chuck and waves a hand at his own left ear "You got a—" Chuck waves a hand at his own right ear "Uh...right here?" Sam indicates the other side of Chuck's head "Uh, the..." Chuck feels at his hair "Oh. Oh, god." Chuck pulls something out, "Is that a molar? Do I have a molar in my hair? This has been a really stressful day." Dean says "Cas, you stupid bastard." Sam says "Stupid? He was trying to help us." Sarah says "Yeah, exactly." Sam asks "So, what now?"

Dean says "I don't know." Chuck says "Oh, crap." Sarah asks "What?" Chuck says "I can feel them." Zachariah says "Thought we'd find you here." Sarah, Sam and Dean turn around: Zachariah is there, two Angels accompanying him "Playtime's over, Dean. Time to come with us." Dean points to Zachariah "You just keep your distance, asshat." Zachariah says "You're upset." Dean says "Yeah. A little. You sons of bitches jump-started judgment day!" Zachariah says "Maybe we let it happen. We didn't start anything, Right, Sammy Sarah?" Zachariah winks, Zachariah You had a chance to stop your brother and fiancee and neither of you couldn't. So let's not quibble over who started what. Let's just say it was—all our faults and move on. 'Cause like it or not—it's Apocalypse Now, and we're back on the same team again." Dean says "Is that so?" Zachariah says "You want to kill the devil, We want you to kill the devil. It's...synergy." Dean says "And I'm just supposed to trust you? Cram it with walnuts, ugly." Zachariah says "This isn't a game, son. Lucifer is powerful in ways that defy description. We need to strike now, hard and fast—before he finds his vessel." Sam asks "His vessel? Lucifer needs a meat suit?" Zachariah says "He is an angel, Them's the rules and when he touches down, we're talking Four Horsemen, red oceans, fiery skies—the greatest hits. You can stop him, Dean, but you need our help." Dean says "You listen to me, you two-faced douche after what you did, I don't want jack squat from you!" Zachariah says "You listen to me, boy! You think you can rebel against us? As Lucifer did?" Blood drips from Dean's hand "You're bleeding." Dean says "Oh, yeah—a little insurance policy in case you dicks showed up." Dean slaps his bloody hand on an Angel Banishing Sigil drawn behind a door. Zachariah says "No!" Sarah, Sam and Dean flinch Zachariah vanishes in white light. When Dean looks, the other Angels are gone as well "Learned that from my friend Cas, you son of a bitch." Chuck says "This sucks ass."

Inside Regent Inn Motel Daytime, Sam rushes down a staircase past a couple making out and enters the motel, Dean loads a gun and Sarah is next to him and Sam enters the room Dean says "Hey." Sam says "Hey." Sarah says "Hey." Sam says "Hey." Sam closes the door, pulls something out of his shirt, and tosses it to Dean and Sarah, Sarah and Dean catches it and examines it "Here. Hex bags. No way the angels will find us with those. Demons, either, for that matter." Sarah asks "Where'd you get it?" Sam says "I made it." Dean asks "How?" Sam hesitates long enough for Dean and Sarah to look up at him "I...I learned it from Ruby." Dean puts the gun down and approaches Sam "Speaking of. How you doing? Are you jonesing for another hit of bitch blood or what?" Sam says "I-it's weird. Uh, tell you the truth, I'm fine. No shakes, no fever. It's like whoever...put me on that plane cleaned me right up." Sarah says "Supernatural methadone." Sam says "Yeah, I guess. Sam pauses "Dean, Sarah --." Dean interrupts and says "Sam. Dean turns away "It's okay. You don't have to say anything." Sam says "Well, that's good. Because what can I even say? "I'm sorry"? "I screwed up"? Doesn't really do it justice, you know? Look, there's nothing I can do or say that will ever make this right—" Dean asks "So why do you keep bringing it up?!" Sam sighs, Dean turns back to him "Look, all I'm saying is, why do we have to put this under a microscope? We made a mess. We clean it up. That's it." Sam nods Sarah says "All right, so, say this is just any other hunt. You know? What do we do first?"

Sam says "We'd, uh, figure out where the thing is." Dean says "All right. So we just got to find...the devil." Inside Nick's House, Nighttime Nick walks along the sidewalk to his house. He opens his front gate, which creaks, and lets it swing shut behind him. A wind picks up, swinging the gate forward and back, and Nick turns back to look. The gate bangs open and shut Inside his Bedroom, Nick lies in bed, alone and restless. He pulls his hands out from under the blankets: they're bloodstained. He tosses the blankets back and there's blood all over him and the sheets, a lot of it, as though someone bled to death a moment ago. Nick gets out of bed and switches on the bedside light, There's no blood." Nick says "All right, keep it together. Keep it together, man." Nick turns off the light and lies down. He rolls over and there's a Woman in bed next to him, blood on her cheek. He sits up, shocked: he knows her—her name is Sarah and the last thing he expected was to see her and she says "It's you, Nick you're special You're chosen." Nick shakes his head, disbelieving, and covers his eyes with one hand. When he looks back, Sarah is gone.

Becky's Bedroom, Becky , whose bedroom walls have poster-size prints of the covers of Carver Edlund's Supernatural: Route 666 and Supernatural: The Benders, sits at her computer, typing and reading aloud "And then Sam touched—" No. "—caressed Dean's clavicle. 'This is wrong,' said Dean. 'Then I don't want to be right,' replied Sam, in a husky voice." A message appears on her screen: CARVER EDLUND CALLING, Becky frowns and clicks Accept. The window expands to a videophone: it's Chuck, He glances over his shoulder and back. Becky covers her mouth, excited enough that it causes her difficulty speaking "Oh...my...god. You. You're..." Chuck says "Carver Edlund, yeah. Hi, Becky." Becky says "You got my letters and my marzipan." Chuck can't quite meet her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. Um...yummy. But, uh—" Becky says "I am your number-one fan. You know, I'm samlicker81." Chuck says "I'm sorry. You're—You're what?" Becky says "Webmistress at morethanbrothers dot net?" Chuck says "Oh. Yeah. No, yeah. You're my...number-one fan." Becky grins "That's why I contacted you, You're the only one who will believe me." Chuck looks heavenward. Becky frowns, concerned "Are you all right?" Chuck says "No. I'm being watched, Okay, not, not now—at least, I don't think so. But I don't have much time I need your help." Becky switches back to overexcited "You need my help?" Chuck says "That's right, I need you to get a message to Sam, Sarah and Dean Okay?" Becky sighs, reality intruding "Look, Mr. Edlund... Yes, I'm a fan, but I really don't appreciate being mocked. I know that Supernatural's just a book, okay? I know the difference between fantasy and reality." Chuck says "Becky, it's all real." Becky snaps back to overexcitedness "I knew it!"

Inside the Motel Room Daytime, Sam stares at John's journal. Dean and Sarah are watching TV Voice One says "How would you then explain an earthquake, a hurricane, and multiple tornadoes, all at the same time, all around the globe?" Voice Two says "Two words, Carbon emissions." Dean to environmentalist on TV "Yeah, right, wavy gravy." There is a knock at the door Dean pulls his gun. Sam answers, it's becky, so excited she's having trouble breathing and Sam asks "You okay, lady?" Becky says "Sam...is it really you?" Sam glances back at Dean and Sarah, Becky steps closer and puts a hand on Sam's chest "And you're so firm." Sam asks "Uh, do I know you?" Becky pulls back. Sam continues to stare, bewildered "No. But I know you. You're Sam Winchester. And you're—Becky looks at Sarah and Dean , who's staring at her, his gun hand out of sight "—not what I pictured. I'm Becky."

Becky pushes past Sam into the room "I read all about you guys and I've even written a few—" Becky glances down, giggling a little "Anyway, Mr. Edlund told me where you were." Dean stands up "Chuck?" Sam closes the door "He's got a message, but he's being watched. Angels. Nice change-up to the mythology, by the way. The demon stuff was getting kind of old." Sam says "Right. Just, um...what's the message?" Becky says "He had a vision. "The Michael sword is on earth. The angels lost it."" Dean asks "The Michael sword?" Sam asks "Becky, does he know where it is?" Becky says "In a castle, on a hill made of forty-two dogs." Dean says "Forty-two dogs?" Sarah asks "Are...you sure you got that right?" Becky says "It doesn't make sense, but that's what he said." Becky steps closer to Sam "I memorized every word." Becky touches Sam's chest, "For you." Sam glances over at Sarah and Dean and down at Becky, Awkward "Um, Becky, c—uh, can you...quit touching me?" Becky says "No."

Later on still at the Motel, Bobby arrives in the Impala, A knock on the door. Dean and says "Hey, Bobby." Bobby hugs Dean, slapping him on the back "Good to see you boys and girl all in one piece." Bobby hugs Sam and Sarah, who are both grinning Dean closes the door "You weren't followed, were you?" Bobby asks "You mean by angels, demons, or Sam's new superfan?" Sam laughs "You heard." Bobby says "I heard, Romeo. So...sword of Michael, huh?" Sarah asks "You think we're talking about the actual sword from the actual archangel?" Bobby says "You better friggin' hope so." Bobby opens a book to a painting of Michael surrounded by other angels. In this painting, Michael looks like a winged woman and the other angels like naked babies with wings "That's Michael, Toughest son of a bitch they got." Sam flips to another painting. Again, Michael has a feminine face Dean says "You kidding me? Tough? That guy looks like Cate Blanchett." Bobby says "Well, I wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, believe me. He commands the heavenly host. During the last big dust-up upstairs, he's the one who booted Lucifer's ass to the basement. Did it with that sword." Bobby points to the sword in the painted Michael's hand "So if we can find it..." Sam says "We can kick the devil's ass all over again. All right. So, where do we start?" Bobby says "Divvy up and start reading—try and make sense of Chuck's nonsense." Sam gets up and heads for a pile of old books, presumably brought by Bobby, He stares at the books for a long moment, not reaching for them "Kid? You all right?"

Sam turns to face Bobby and says "No, actually. Bobby, this is all my fault. I'm sorry." Dean says "Sam." Sam says "Lilith did not break the final seal. Lilith was the final seal." Sarah says "Sam, stop it." Sam says "I killed her, and I set Lucifer free." Bobby says "You what?" Sam says "You guys warned me about Ruby, the demon blood, but I didn't listen. I brought this on." Both Dean and Sarah says nothing, Bobby stands up and walks closer "You're damn right you didn't listen, You were reckless and selfish and arrogant." Sam says "I'm Sorry." Bobby says "Oh, yeah? You're sorry you started Armageddon? This kind of thing don't get forgiven, boy. If, by some miracle, we pull this off...I want you to lose my number. You understand me?" Sam nods and his expression barely changes: this can't be much different from what he expected. Dean and Sarah doesn't protest. Sam says "There's an old church nearby. Maybe I'll go read some of the lore books there." Bobby says "Yeah. You do that." Sam leaves, Bobby turns back to Dean and Sarah who stays silent.

Dean, Sarah and Bobby sit doing research, Bobby says "I never would have guessed that your daddy was right." Dean says "About what?" Bobby says "About your brother." Sarah and Dean both look up "What John said—you save Sam or kill him. Maybe..." Dean says "Maybe what?" Bobby says "Maybe we shouldn't have tried so hard to save him." Dean says "Bobby." Bobby says "He ended the world, Dean, Sarah and the three of us weren't strong enough to stop him proper. That's on us. I'm just saying, your dad was right." Dean says "Dad." He rummages through his bag. He pulls out a plastic Ziplock full of cards "It's got to be in here somewhere." Bobby says "What the hell are you talking about?" Dean says "Here." Dean pulls one out and reads it. Bobby stands up and Dean comes over "I don't believe it." Bobby says "What the hell is it?"

Dean says "It's a card for my dad's lockup in upstate New York. Read it." Bobby takes the card, ""Castle Storage. 42 Rover Hill."" Dean says "Castle on a hill of forty-two dogs." Dean takes the card back and Sarah says "So you think your dad had the Michael sword all this time?" Dean says "I don't know. I'm not sure what else Chuck could have meant." Bobby says "Yeah. Okay. It's good enough for me." Bobby attacks Dean, Sarah stays out of the way, knocking him through the barrier between the kitchenette and the beds. Bobby yanks Dean up and slams him down again and Bobby's eyes go black.

In the Motel Nighttime, Bobby grabs Dean by the throat and drags him to his feet. A Female Demon enters and a Male Demon behind her and she says "I always knew you were a big, dumb, slow, dim pain in the ass, Dean. But I never dreamed you were so V.I.P. The female demon sees Ruby's knife on the table and picks it up "I mean, you're gonna ice the devil? You? If I'd have known that, I'd have ripped your pretty, pretty face off ages ago." Dean says "Ruby." Female Demon says "Try again. Go back further." Dean says "Meg." Meg says "Hi. These are the days of miracle and wonder, Dean. Our father's among us. You know we're all dreaming again for the first time since we were human? It's heaven on earth. Or hell. We really owe your brother a fruit basket." Dean says "My god, you like the sound of your own voice." Meg says "But you, on the other hand, you're the only bump in the road. So every demon—every single one—is just dying for a piece of you." Dean smirks.

Dean says "Get in line." Meg says "Oh, I'm in the front of the line, baby. Let's ride." She kisses Dean and sarah coughs and she turns around but doesn't say anything and Dean says "What is that, peanut butter?" Meg says "You know, your surrogate daddy's still awake screaming in there and I want him to know how it feels slicing the life out of you." Meg hands the knife to 'Bobby' , who raises it to Dean's throat, Dean struggles and says "Bobby." 'Bobby' looks back at Meg "Now." 'Bobby' raises the knife to stab Dean "Bobby! No!" The black fades from 'BOBBY's eyes. The knife comes down and Bobby flashes gold as the demon 'BOBBY' dies: Bobby stabbed himself and falls to the ground, Sarah rushes to Bobby whilst Dean rushes Meg and the Male Demon, The Male Demon slams Dean into the wall, then the floor. Sam enters sees Sarah with Bobby on the floor bleeding and Dean getting beaten "No!" Meg says "Heya, Sammy. You miss me? 'Cause I sure missed you." Sam says "Meg?" Meg grins, Sam swings and misses Meg kicks him in the crotch and knocks him to the ground while the Male Demon pounds Dean "It's not so easy without those super-special demon powers, huh, Sammy?" The Male Demon kicks Dean and Meg punches Sam, Dean kicks the feet out from under the Male demon grabs the knife out of Bobby's stomach and stabs the Male Demon in the chest. Dean stands up, Meg backs away and Dean advances Meg screams and smokes out of the Woman who collapses, Dean lowers the knife.

Inside Nick's House, Living Room nighttime Nick carries a blanket and teddy bears past a freestanding baby rocker to a cardboard box. The rocker starts moving on its own. Nick turns to look, then goes over and stops it. A baby's cry, Nick digs frantically through the box and pulls out a baby monitor. He stares at it, listening to the crying. Inside the Nursery, Nick opens the door, still listening. He stares at the crib for a moment. The crying goes silent. He turns on the light. Silence. He turns away and the crying begins again. He turns back and sees blood pouring out of the crib onto the carpet "No..." Nick goes up to the crib and falls to his knees, sobbing the crib is empty. It and the carpet are clean.

Emergency Room Hospital, Sam and Dean burst into a hospital emergency room, carrying Bobby Sarah's also with them and Dean says "Need some help here!" Nurse asks "What happened?" Sam says "He was stabbed." Nurse says "Can we get a gurney?" Two Nurses rush a gurney over to Bobby and Dean says "Hang on, Bobby. Hang in there. You're gonna be okay." They get Bobby onto the gurney and rush him off. Sam, Sarah and Dean follows but the nurse stops them and says "Just wait here." Sam says "We can't just leave him." Nurse says "Just don't move, I've got questions." The Nurse leaves and Dean says "Sarah, Sammy we got to go." Sam says "No. No way, Dean." Dean says "The demons heard where the sword is and we got to get to it before they do, if we're not too late already. Come on!" Dean leaves, Sarah and Sam follow.

Inside John's Lockup, Dean opens the trunk, the three of them load guns and close the trunk. Dean unlocks the storage room, Sam and Sarah standing watch. Once inside the lockup they find three dead demons sprawled across the floor and Zachariah says "I see you told the demons where the sword is." Dean, Sarah and Sam turns to see Zachariah there with two Angels escorting and Dean says "Oh, thank god. The angels are here." Zachariah says "And to think...they could have grabbed it any time they wanted. Zachariah waves a hand to close the door "It was right in front of them." Sam asks "What do you mean?" Zachariah says "We may have planted that particular piece of prophecy inside Chuck's skull, but it happened to be true. We did lose the Michael sword. We truly couldn't find it. Until now. You've just hand-delivered it to us." Dean says "We don't have anything." Zachariah says "It's you, chucklehead. You're the Michael sword." Dean stares.

Zachariah continues to address Dean "What, you thought you could actually kill Lucifer? You simpering wad of insecurity and self-loathing? No You're just a human, Dean and not much of one." Dean asks "What do you mean, I'm the sword?" Zachariah says "You're Michael's weapon. Or, rather, his...receptacle." Dean says "I'm a vessel?" Zachariah says "You're the vessel. Michael's vessel." Dean asks "How? Why—why me?" Zachariah says "Because you're chosen! It's a great honor, Dean." Dean says "Oh, yeah. Yeah, life as an angel condom. That's real fun. I think I'll pass, thanks." Zachariah says "Joking. Always joking. Well...no more jokes." Zachariah aises one hand, fingers like a gun, and points at Dean then shifts it to both Sam and Sarah "Bang." A loud crunch, both Sam and Sarah falls, unable to stand Sarah and Sam says "God." Dean says "You son of a bitch!" Zachariah says "Keep mouthing off, I'll break more than their legs, . I am completely and utterly through screwing around. The war has begun. We don't have our general. That's bad. Now, Michael is going to take his vessel and lead the final charge against the adversary. You understand me?" Dean asks "How many humans die in the crossfire, huh? A million? Five, ten?"

Zachariah says "Probably more. If Lucifer goes unchecked, you know how many die? All of them. He'll roast the planet alive." Dean says "There's a reason you're telling me this instead of just nabbing me. You need my consent. Michael needs my say-so to ride around in my skin." Zachariah says "Unfortunately, yes." Dean says "Well, there's got to be another way." Zachariah says "There is no other way. There must be a battle. Michael must defeat the serpent. It is written." Dean says "Yeah, maybe. But, on the other hand... Eat me. The answer's no." Zachariah says "Okay. How about this? Your friend Bobby—we know he's gravely injured. Say yes, and we'll heal him. Say no, he'll never walk again." Sarah and Sam both stare at Dean, "No." Zachariah says "Then how about we heal you from...stage-four stomach cancer?" Dean doubles over, coughing. He spits into his palm: blood "No." Zachariah says "Then let's get really creative. Uh, let's see how...Sam does without his lungs." Dean turns to look at Sam, who gasps for breath "Are we having fun yet? You're going to say yes, Dean." Dean says "Just kill us."

Zachariah says "Kill you? Oh, no. I'm just getting started." Bright light flashes, Zachariah turns. One of the Angels collapses s, a bloody hole in his throat. Castiel stands beside him. The other Angel fights Castiel, Dean and Zachariah stare; Sam tries to take a breath. Castiel and the angel slam each other around. Castiel stabs the other angel in the back, Bright light flashes Zachariah stares at Castiel walks closer and In the background, Sam and Sarah is still and silent and Zachariah asks "How are you..." Castiel says "Alive? That's a good question. How did these three end up on that airplane? Another good question. 'Cause the angels didn't do it. I think we both know the answer, don't we?"

Zachariah says "No. That's not possible." Castiel says "It scares you, Well, it should. Now, put these boys and girl back together and go. I won't ask twice." Zachariah vanishes both Sarah and Sam looks up and around, surprised. Dean, Sarah and Sam stand up "You three need to be more careful." Dean says "Yeah, I'm starting to get that. Your frat brothers are bigger dicks than I thought." Castiel says "I don't mean the angels. Lucifer is circling his vessel and once he takes it, those hex bags won't be enough to protect you." Castiel puts one hand on Dean's chest and the other on Sam's chest and then on Sarah the three of them gasping and Sarah asks "What the hell was that?" Castiel says "An Enochian sigil. It'll hide you from every angel in creation, including Lucifer." Dean asks "What, did you just brand us with it?" Castiel says "No. I carved it into your ribs." A pause then sam asks "Hey, Cas, were you really dead?" Castiel says "Yes." Dean asks "Then how are you back?" Castiel vanishes Sarah, Sam and Dean are alone with the dead.

Inside Nick's House Nighttime, Nicklies in bed in an empty room, Sarah says "Nick." Nick sits up and Sarah stands at the foot of the bed "Nick. You're dreaming, Nick. But it doesn't mean this isn't real." Nick says "Sarah?" Sarah says "I'm not your wife, Nick. I'm an angel." Nick asks "An Angel?" Sarah says "My name is Lucifer." Nick says "Sure. Naturally. Um... Could you do me a favor there, Satan, and remind me to quit drinking before I go to bed?" Lucifer says "I'm here because you're special, Nick. There's very, very few people like you." Nick says "Is that so?" Lucifer says "You're a vessel—a very powerful vessel." Nick swings his legs off the bed "Meaning what, exactly?" Lucifer says "I need to take control of your mind and your body. To be honest, it'll probably be unpleasant for you. But it is necessary." Nick says "Okay, look...if it's just the same to you, I think I'd like to wake up now." Lucifer says "I told you—this is real. Don't be afraid. This is your choice." Lucifer sits on the bed next to Nick "You need to invite me in." Nick says "Even if this is real—which it's not, but assuming it was...why the hell would I do something like that?" Lucifer says "You people misunderstand me You call me "Satan" and "devil", but... Do you know my crime? I loved God too much and for that, he betrayed me—punished me. Just as he's punished you, After all, how could God stand idly by while that man broke into your home and butchered your family in their beds?

Nick swallows , not looking at her "There are only two rational answers, Nick—either he's sadistic, or he simply doesn't care. You're angry and you have every right to be angry and I am angry, too that's why I want to find him—hold him accountable for his actions. Just because he created us doesn't mean he can toy with us, like playthings." Nick says "If I help you...can you bring back my family?" Lucifer says "I'm sorry I can't But I can give you the next best thing God did this to you, Nick. And I can give you justice and peace." Nick asks "How do I know you're telling the truth?" Lucifer says "Because, contrary to popular belief, I don't lie and I don't need to. What I need...is you. Nick, I need you to say yes." Nick remembers the empty baby rocker, the blood pouring from the crib, the empty crib "Then Yes." The high-pitched screech of angel speech. White light flares from all the upper windows of Nick's house.

In a Hospital Nighttime, A nurse walks down a hospital corridor past a Patient with a mobile IV stand. Both pass a closed door, behind which Bobby is heard yelling ""Unlikely to walk again"?! Why, you snot-nosed son of a bitch! Wait till I get out of this bed!" The door bursts open and a Doctor flees inside Bobby sits in a hospital bed and Sam, Sarah and Dean stand by the window "I'll use my game leg and kick your friggin' ass! Yeah, you better run!" Bobby looks over at the three of them "You believe that yahoo?" Dean Screw him. You'll be fine." Sam says "So, let me ask the million-dollar question. What do we do now?" Bobby says "Well... We save as many as we can for as long as we can, I guess. It's bad. Whoever wins, heaven or hell, we're boned." Dean asks "What if we win?" Bobby stares at him, Sam and Sarah turns to face Dean, who sounds a bit too confident "I'm serious. I mean, screw the angels and the demons and their crap apocalypse. Hell, they want to fight a war, they can find their own planet. This one's ours, and I say they get the hell off it. We take 'em all on. We kill the devil. Hell, we even kill Michael if we have to. But we do it our own damn selves." Bobby asks "And how are we supposed to do all this, genius?" Dean says "I got no idea, But what I do have is a GED and a give-'em-hell attitude, and I'll figure it out." Bobby says "You are nine kinds of crazy, boy." Dean says "It's been said." Dean pats Bobby on the shoulder and sarah gives bobby a kiss on the cheek and Dean says "Listen, you stay on the mend. We'll see you in a bit." Dean and Sarah heads for the door, Sam follows then Bobby says "Sam?" Sam stops "I was awake, I know what I said back there. I just want you to know that...that was the demon talking. I ain't cutting you out, boy. Not ever.

A long pause then sam sighs "Thanks, Bobby." Bobby says "You're welcome. I deserve a damn medal for this, but...you're welcome." The three of them leave. Outside in the parking lot of the Hospital, An ambulance drives past. Sarah, Sam and Dean walk out to the cars and Sam says "You know, I was thinking, Dean—maybe we could go after the Colt." Dean says "Why? What difference would that make?" Sam says "Well, we could use it on Lucifer. I mean, you just said back there—" Dean says "I just said a bunch of crap for Bobby's benefit." Dean stops in the middle of the road Sarah and Sam stops, looking at him and Dean says "I mean, I'll fight. I'll fight till the last man, but let's at least be honest. I mean, we don't stand a snowball's chance, and you know that. I mean, hell, you of all people know that." Dean goes around the both of them Sam says "Dean." Dean stops and turns back "Is there something you want to say to me?" A long pause and then Dean finally speak and says "I tried, Sammy. I mean, I really tried. But I just can't keep pretending that everything's all right. Because it's not and it's never going to be. You chose a demon over your own brother and Sarah---- Sam rolls his eyes "—and look what happened." Sam says "I would give anything—anything—to take it all back." Dean says "We know you would and we know how sorry you are we do, But, man...you were the one that I depended on the most and you let us down in ways that I can't even..." Dean pauses , struggling for words "I'm just—I'm having a hard time forgiving and forgetting here. You know?" Sam says "What can I do?" Dean says "Honestly? Nothing." Sam nods a little, looking down: this doesn't surprise him "I just don't...I don't think that we can ever be what we were. You know?" Sam nods again: this isn't a surprise either "We just don't think we can trust you." Sam looks up: this he wasn't expecting. Dean shakes his head and Sarah follows and walks away, pausing at the trunk of the Impala to look back, then gets into the driver's seat and back passenger seat.
