Swan Song

Chuck speaking "On April 21, 1967, the 100 millionth GM vehicle rolled off the line at the plant in Janesville – a blue two-door Caprice. There was a big ceremony, speeches and the lieutenant governor even showed up. Three days later, another car rolled off that same line no one gave two craps about her, but they should have, because this 1967 Chevrolet Impala would turn out to be the most important car – no, the most important object – in pretty much the whole universe. She was first owned by Sal Moriarty, an alcoholic with two ex-wives and three blocked arteries. On weekends, he'd drive around giving Bibles to the poor "gettin' folks right for Judgment Day." That's what he said Sarah, Sam and Dean don't know any of this, but if they did, I bet they'd smile. After Sal died, she ended up at Rainbow Motors, a used-car lot in Lawrence, where a young marine bought her on impulse. That is, after a little advice from a friend. I guess that's where this story begins and here's where it ends.

Bobby's Salvage yard Daytime, Sam sits on the hood of the Impala drinking a beer Sarah and Dean joins him "Hey." Dean takes two beers out of a cooler and leans against the Impala giving Sarah a bottle and Sam asks "Dean? Sarah? What's going on?" Dean says "We're in." Sam says "In with...?" Sarah says "The whole "up with Satan" thing we're on board." Sam "You're both gonna let me say yes?" Dean says " No. That's the thing. It's not on us to let you do anything. You're a grown – well, overgrown – man. If this is what you want, we'll back your play." Sam says "That's the last thing I thought you'd both ever say." Dean says " Might be. I'm not gonna lie to you, though. It goes against every fiber I got. I mean, truth is... You know, watching out for you... it's kinda been my job, you know? But more than that, it's... it's kinda who I am. You're not a kid anymore, Sam, and I can't keep treating you like one. Maybe I got to grow up a little, too. I don't know if we got a snowball's chance. But... But I do know that if anybody can do it... it's you." Sam says "Thank You." Sarah says " If this is what you want... Is this really what you want?" Sam says " I let him out. I got to put him back in." Dean says " Okay. That's it, then."

Inside a building Daytime, Bodies hang upside down over a devil's trap. Sam wipes blood off a large knife. Castiel puts the lid on a jug of blood both Sarah and Dean stands nearby. Outside of the Building, Sam, Castiel, Dean and Sarah exit the building Sam and Castiel carry gallon jugs of blood and put them in the trunk of the Impala Sarah and Dean walks over to Bobby and Dean says " I still can't get used to you at eye level." Bobby asks "So, was I right?" Dean says "As always, Yoda. Two stunt demons inside, just like you said." Bobby asks "Did you get it?" Dean says "Yeah, all the "go juice" Sammy can drink." Bobby asks "You two okay?" Sarah says "Not really. What do you got?" Bobby says " Not much. These look like omens to you? He hands Dean a newspaper "Cyclone in Florida, temperature drop in Detroit, wildfires in L.A." Dean asks "Wait. What about Detroit?" Bobby says "Temp's dropped about 20 degrees, but only in a five-block radius of downtown Motown." Dean says "That's the one. Devil's in Detroit." Bobby says "Really? As far as foreboding goes, it's a little light in the loafers. You sure?" Dean says " Yeah, I'm sure."

Dean is driving, Sam riding shotgun, Castiel and Sarah is asleep in the back seat and Dean says "Aw. Ain't their little angels." Sam says "Angels don't sleep." Dean says "Sam, I got a bad feeling about this." Sam says "Well, you'd be nuts to have a good feeling about it." Dean says "You know what I mean. Detroit. He always said he'd jump your bones in Detroit. Here we are." Sam says "Here we are." Dean says "Maybe this is him rolling out the red carpet, you know? Maybe he knows something that we don't." Sam says " Dean, I'm sure he knows a buttload we don't. We just got to hope he doesn't know about the rings. Hey, um... on the subject, there's something I got to talk to you about." Dean says "What?" Sam says "his thing goes our way and I...Triple Lindy into that box... y-you know I'm not coming back." Dean says " Yeah, I'm aware." Sam says "So you got to promise me something." Dean says "Okay. Yeah. Anything." Sam says "You got to promise not to try to bring me back."

Dean says " What? No, I didn't sign up for that." Sam says "Dean--." Dean interrupts and says "Your Hell is gonna make my tour look like Graceland. You want me and Sarah just to sit by and do nothing?" Sam says "Once the Cage is shut, you can't go poking at it, Dean. It's too risky." Dean says "No, no, no, no, no. As if we're just gonna let you rot in there." Sam says "Yeah, you both are, You don't have a choice." Dean says "You can't ask us to do this." Sam says "I'm sorry, Dean. You both have to." Dean asks "So then what are me and Sarah supposed to do?" Sam says "You both settle down find a home together and you have barbecues and go to football games. You both go live some normal, apple-pie life, Dean. Promise me."

In the Alleyway Nighttime, Bobby looks through binoculars at a building in which a man is standing in the window, He then walks over to Sarah, Sam, Dean and Castiel "Demons. At least two dozen of them. You were right – something's up." Dean says " More than something. He's here. I know it." Dean walks to the trunk of the Impala Sam looks at Bobby "I'll see ya around, kid." Sam says "See ya around." They both hug, Bobby says "He gets in... You fight him tooth and nail, you understand? Keep swingin'. Don't give an inch." Sam says "Yes Sir." Sam holds out his hand to Castiel "Take care of these guys, okay?" Castiel says " That's not possible." Sam says " Then humor me." Castiel says "Oh. I was supposed to lie. Uh... Sure. They'll be fine." Sam says " Just – just stop... talking." Sam walks to the trunk of the Impala where the open jugs of demon blood sit, You two mind not watching this?" Sarah and Dean walks away, Sam picks up a jug.

Sam clears his throat and closes the trunk, Sarah and Dean are leaning on the side of the car and Sam takes a deep breath "Okay. Let's go." Sam walks pass Dean and Sarah and after a moment they follow him, Castiel and Bobby watch them go. Sam raises his arms as he approaches the building with the Demons "All right! We're here, you sons of bitches! Come and get it!" Two Demons come outside and Dean says "Hey, guys. Is your father home?" Inside the Building Nighttime, The demons manhandle Sarah, Sam and Dean inside and Lucifer says "Hey, guys. So nice of you to drop in."

Chuck Voiceover "The Impala, of course, has all the things other cars have... and a few things they don't. But none of that stuff's important. This is the stuff that's important. The army man that Sam crammed in the ashtray – it's still stuck there. The Legos that Dean shoved into the vents – to this day, heat comes on and they can hear 'em rattle. These are the things that make the car theirs – really theirs. Even when Dean rebuilt her from the ground up, he made sure all these little things stayed, 'cause it's the blemishes that make her beautiful and the Devil doesn't know or care what kind of car the boys drive." Lucifer breaths on the window pane and draws a pitchfork in the condensation "Sorry if it's a bit chilly. Most people think I burn hot. It's actually quite the opposite." Sarah says "Well, I'll alert the media." Lucifer's face is covered with red sores "Help me understand something, guys. I mean, stomping through my front door is... a tad suicidal, don't you think?" Sam says "We're not here to fight you." Lucifer says "No? Then why are you?" Sam says " I want to say "yes."" Lucifer says "Excuse me?"

Sam takes a breath, closes his eyes and the three demons drop dead in flashes of light "Chock-full of Ovaltine, are we?" Sam says " You heard me. Yes." Lucifer says " You're serious." Sam says "Look, Judgment Day's a runaway train. We get it now. We just want off." Lucifer asks "Meaning?" Sam says "Deal of the century. I give you a free ride, but when it's all over, I live, he lives, She lives, you bring our parents back --" Lucifer says "Okay, can we please drop the telenovela? I know you have the rings, Sam." Sam says "I have no idea what you're talking about." Lucifer says "The Horsemen's rings? The magic keys to my Cage? Ring a bell? Come on, Sam. I've never lied to you. You could at least pay me the same respect. It's okay. I'm not mad. A wrestling match inside your noggin... I like the idea. Just you and me, one round, no tricks. You win, you jump in the hole. I win... Well, then I win. What do you say, Sam? A fiddle of gold against your soul says I'm better than you."

Sam says "So he knows. Doesn't change anything." Dean says "Sam." Sam says "We don't have any other choice." Dean says "No." Sam says "Yes." Lucifer closes his eyes and bright light emanates from him Outside Bobby and Castiel watch as the windows of the building blaze with light, then dim. Inside the Building, Dean and Sarah looks around, Sam motionless on the floor. Dean takes the Horsemen's rings out of his pocket and throws them at the wall, where they stick "Bvtmon...Tabges...Babalon." A hole appears in the wall where the rings were. Air is sucked into it. Sam stirs and Dean and Sarah goes to him and Dean says "Sammy!" Sam says "Dean!" Sarah says "Sam!" Sam groans "I can feel him. Oh, god!" Dean says "You got to go now! Come on!" They both help Sam up "Go now, Sammy. Now!" Sam walks towards the hole and takes some deep breaths. He then smiles and turns back to Dean and Sarah, Lucifer inside Sam's body says " I was just messing with you both, Sammy's long gone." Lucifer/Sam turns back to the hole in the wall "Chdr bvtmon tabges babalon."

The hole closes Lucifer/Sam removes the Horsemen's rings from the wall "I told you... this would always happen in Detroit." Sarah gets angry and runs at him Dean yells "Sarah no." Lucifer/Sam sees her coming and grabs her by the neck and says "Well Dean how about you watch your fiancee die by the hands of your brother won't that be delightfully." Dean watches in horror as Sam/Lucifer breaks her neck and as she falls to the floor he disappears, Dean goes over to Sarah and starts crying and touching her face and promise he'd get his revenge.

In a Different Building, Five people stand in a loose circle Lucifer in Sam's body flexes his right arm, shoulder and hand "Sam. Come on. I can feel you... scratching away in there. He looks in a mirror " Look... I'll take the gag off, okay? You got me all wrong, kiddo. I'm not the bad guy here." Sam says "I'm gonna rip you apart from the inside out. Do you understand me?" Lucifer/Sam says "Such anger... Young Skywalker. Who are you really angry with? Me? Or that face in the mirror?" Sam says "I'm sure this is all a big joke to you, huh?" Lucifer/Sam says "Not at all. I've been waiting for you... for a long, long time. Come on, Sam. You have to admit – you can feel it, right?" Sam says "What?" Lucifer/Sam says "The exhilaration and you know why that is? Because we're two halves made whole. M.F.E.O. Literally."

Sam says "This feels pretty damn far from good." Lucifer/Sam says "'m inside your grapefruit, Sam. You can't lie to me. I see it all – how odd you always felt, how... out of place in that... family of yours and why shouldn't you have? They were foster care – at best. I'm your real family." Sam says "No, that's not true." Lucifer/Sam says "It is and I know you know it. All those times you ran away, you weren't running from them. You were running towards me. This doesn't have to be a bad thing, you know. I let Dean live but unfortunately i didn't keep my promise about Sarah she's dead, didn't I? I want him to live and I'll bring your folks back, too. I want you to be happy, Sam." Sam in shocked about the death of Sarah "I don't want anything from you." Lucifer/Sam says "Really? Not even a little payback?" Sam asks "What's that supposed to mean?" Lucifer/Sam says "Look closely. None of these little devils look familiar to you?" Sam says "That's Mr. Bensman... One of my grade-school teachers." Lucifer/Sam says "And that's your friend Doug from that time in East Lansing. And Rachel... your prom date. Sam Winchester, this is your life. Azazel's gang – watching you since you were a rugrat, jerking you around like a dog on a leash. I know how you feel about them. Me too. So, what do you say you and I blow off a little steam?"

The news is playing on televisions in a store window, News Reporter says "Reports are flooding in – a 7.6 earthquake in Portland, 8.1 in Boston, more in Hong Kong, Berlin, and Tehran. The U.S.G.S. has no explanation but says to expect a six-figure death toll." Dean and Bobby are watching and Castiel says " It's starting." Dean says "Yeah, you think, genius?" Castiel says " You don't have to be mean." Dean says "So what do we do now?" Castiel says "I suggest we imbibe copious quantities of alcohol... Just wait for the inevitable blast wave." Dean says "Yeah, swell. Thank you, Bukowski. I-I mean, how do we stop it?" Castiel says "We don't. Lucifer will meet Michael on the chosen field, and the battle of Armageddon begins." Dean asks " Okay, well, where's this chosen field?" Castiel says "I don't know."

Dean says "Well, there's got to be something that we can do." Castiel says "I'm sorry, Dean. This is over." Dean says "You listen to me, you junkless sissy – we are not giving up! Bobby? Bobby?" Bobby says "There was never much hope to begin with. I don't know what to do." Inside the Building nighttime, Lucifer/Sam is sitting on steps and the five people are dead on the floor exhales sharply "So... are we having fun yet?"

Chuck's Overvoice says " In between jobs, Sam and Dean would sometimes get a day – sometimes a week, if they were lucky. They'd pass the time lining their pockets. Sam used to insist on honest work, but now he hustles pool, like his brother. They could go anywhere and do anything. They drove 1,000 miles for an Ozzy show, two days for a Jayhawks game and when it was clear, they'd park her in the middle of nowhere, sit on the hood, and watch the stars... for hours... without saying a word. It never occurred to them that, sure, maybe they never really had a roof and four walls..." Inside Chuck's House, Chuck is typing the words he is saying on his computer " ...but they were never, in fact, homeless. That's a good line." The phone rings and Chuck answers it "Mistress Magda?" Dean says "Um, no, Chuck." Chuck says "Oh, uh, Dean. Uh, wow. I, uh, I didn't know that you'd call."

Dean is in the Impala, parked in a city alleyway "Who's Mistress Magda?" Chuck says "Nothing. She's a, uh, a – just a, uh... a close friend." Dean says "Yeah, I'll bet – real close. Whatever happened to Becky?" Chuck says " Didn't work out. I had too much respect for her." Dean says "Boy, you really got a whole virgin/hooker thing going on, don't you?" Chuck says "Okay, this can't be why you called." Dean says "Sam said yes and Sarah's dead." Chuck says "I know. I saw it. I'm just working on the pages." Dean asks " Did you see where the title fight goes down?" Chuck says "The angels are keeping it top secret – very hush-hush." Dean says " Aw, crap." Chuck says "But I saw it anyway. Perks of being a prophet. It's tomorrow, high noon – place called Stull Cemetery." Dean says "Stull Ceme-- Wait. I know that. That's – that's an old boneyard outside of Lawrence. Why Lawrence?" Chuck says "I don't know. It all has to end where it started, I guess."

Dean says "All right, Chuck. You know of any way to short-circuit this thing?" Chuck says "Besides the rings? No. I'm sorry." Dean asks "Well, do you have any idea what's gonna happen next?" Chuck says " I wish that I did. But I-I just – I honestly don't know yet." Dean says "All right. Thanks, Chuck." Alleyway Nighttime, Dean closes the trunk of the Impala, Bobby and Castiel walk up to him and Bobby says "You goin' someplace? You're goin' to do somethin' stupid. You got that look." Dean says " I'm gonna go talk to Sam." Bobby says "You just don't give up." Dean says "It's Sam, even though Lucifer is in his body he wasn't the one that murdered Sarah." Castiel says "If you couldn't reach him here, you're certainly not gonna be able to on the battlefield." Dean says "Well, if we've already lost, I guess I got nothing to lose, right?"

Castiel says "I just want you to understand – the only thing that you're gonna see out there is Michael killing your brother." Dean says "Well, then I ain't gonna let him die alone." Dean gets into the Impala and starts the engine. Stull Cemetery Daytime, Lucifer in Sam's body stands in the cemetery. There is the sound of wings and Michael in Adam's body appears, Lucifer/Sam says "It's good to see you, Michael." Michael/Adam says "ou too. It's been too long. Can you believe it's finally here?" Lucifer/Sam says " No. Not really." Michael/Adam asks "Are you ready?" Lucifer/Sam says "As I'll ever be. A part of me wishes we didn't have to do this." Michael/Adam says "Yeah. Me too." Lucifer/Sam asks "Then why are we?" Michael/Adam says "Oh, you know why! I have no choice, after what you did."

Lucifer/Sam says "What I did? What if it's not my fault?" Michael/Adam says "What is that supposed to mean?" Lucifer/Sam says "Think about it. Dad made everything. Which means he made me who I am! God wanted the Devil." Michael/Adam says "So?" Lucifer/Sam says "So why? And why make us fight? I just can't figure out the point." Michael/Adam asks "What's your point?" Lucifer/Sam says "We're going to kill each other and for what? One of Dad's tests and we don't even know the answer. We're brothers. Let's just walk off the chessboard." Michael/Adam says " I'm sorry. I-I can't do that. I'm a good son, and I have my orders." Lucifer/Sam says "But you don't have to follow them."

Michael/Adam says "What, you think I'm gonna rebel? Now? I'm not like you." Lucifer/Sam says " Please, Michael --" Michael/Adam interrupts "You know, you haven't changed a bit, little brother. Always blaming everybody but yourself. We were together. We were happy. But you betrayed me – all of us – and you made our father leave." Lucifer/Sam says "No one makes Dad do anything. He is doing this to us." Michael/Adam says "You're a monster, Lucifer and I have to kill you." Lucifer/Sam says "If that's the way it's got to be... Then I'd like to see you try." They both slowly circle one another. We hear the sound of a car engine, Dean puts a tape into the tape deck and turns up the volume. "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard plays. Dean drives up to the both of them "Howdy, boys Sorry. Am I interrupting something?"

In Stull Cemetery Daytime, Dean says"Hey. We need to talk." Lucifer says "Dean. Even for you, this is a whole new mountain of stupid." Dean says "I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to Sam." Michael says "You're no longer the vessel, Dean. You got no right to be here." Dean says "Adam, if you're in there somewhere, I am so sorry." Michael says "Adam isn't home right now." Dean says "Well, then you're next on my list, buttercup. But right now, I need five minutes with him." Michael says "You little maggot. You are no longer a part of this story!" Castiel says " Hey, ass-butt!" Castiel and Bobby have appeared, Castiel is holding a bottle from which a flame is burning – a Molotov cocktail. Castiel throws the bottle at Michael , who screams as he goes up in flames.

Dean says ""Ass-butt"?" Castiel says "He'll be back – and upset – but you got your five minutes." Lucifer says " Castiel. Did you just Molotov my brother with holy fire?" Castiel says "Uh... no." Lucifer says "No one dicks with Michael but me." Lucifer snaps his fingers, Castiel explodes in a rain of blood and chunks of meat "Sammy, can you hear me?" Lucifer/Sam says "You know... I tried to be nice... for Sammy's sake. But you... are such a pain... in my ass." Lucifer/Sam throws Dean onto the windshield of the Impala which shatters. Bobby shoots Lucifer/Sam in the back. When Lucifer/Sam turns, Bobby shoots him again in the front. Lucifer/Sam makes a twisting hand motion and Bobby's neck snaps and Dean says "N-o-o-o-o!"

Lucifer/Sam says "Yes." Lucifer/Sam grabs Dean's legs and pulls him off the hood of the Impala, He punches Dean hard and he falls back against the Impala spitting blood "Sammy? Are you in there?" Lucifer says "Oh, he's in here, all right. He punches Dean again "And he's gonna feel the snap of your bones. Another Punch, Dean falls to the ground "Every single one." He hauls Dean to his feet "We're gonna take our time." Lucifer/Sam punches Dean a further ten times and Dean's face now very swollen and bleeding, puts out a hand to Lucifer/Sam's Jacket "Sam, it's okay. It's okay. I'm here. I'm here. I'm not gonna leave you." Lucifer/Sam punches him twice more "I'm not gonna leave you." Lucifer/Sam raws back his fist for another punch, Sunlight glints off the roof of the Impala, catching Lucifer/Sam's eye and his reflection is visible in the Impala's window and he sees the little green army man stuck in the ashtray and then there is quite a few flashbacks from over the years.

Lucifer/Sam stares. His fist unclenches: it's Sam again. He lets go of Dean , who falls to the ground against the Impala, Sam says "It's okay, Dean. It's gonna be okay. I've got him." Sam takes out the Horsemen's rings and tosses them on the ground "Bvtmon tabges babalon." The ground caves in around the rings and air is sucked into the hole Sam and Dean look at each other as the hole widens. Sam breaths heavily, Michael/Adam says "Sam! It's not gonna end this way! Step back!" Sam says " You're gonna have to make me!" Michael/Adam says "I have to fight my brother, Sam! Here and now! It's my destiny!" Sam looks at Dean, closes his eyes and spreads his arms. Michael/Adam lunges forward and grabs Sam's Jacket but Sam grabs ahold of Michael/Adam and they fall together into the hole. After few moments the hole closes in a blinding flash of light. The Horsemen's rings burn bright in the grass on the ground where the hole was and Dean closes his eyes as he leans back against the Impala.

Dean kneels on the ground near the Impala and Castiel appears next to him "Cas, you're alive?" Castiel says "I'm better than that." Castiel touches Dean on the forehead and Dean's wounds heal. Dean stands up "Cas, are you God?" Castiel says "That's a nice compliment. But no. Although, I do believe he brought me back. New and improved." Castiel walks to Bobby and touches him on the forehead, resurrecting him. Dean looks down at the Horsemen's rings, which he holds in his hand and Chuck voiceover " Endings are hard." Any chapped-ass monkey with a keyboard can poop out a beginning, but endings are impossible. You try to tie up every loose end, but you never can. The fans are always gonna bitch. There's always gonna be holes. And since it's the ending, it's all supposed to add up to something. I'm telling you, they're a raging pain in the ass." Chuck ypes on his computer, The Impala drives down the road Dean and Castiel are in the car Dean driving, Dean asks "What are you gonna do now?" Castiel says "Return to Heaven, I suppose."

Dean says "Heaven?"Castiel says "With Michael in the Cage, I'm sure it's total anarchy up there." Dean asks " So, what, you're the new sheriff in town?" Castiel says "I like that. Yeah. I suppose I am." Dean says "Wow. God gives you a brand-new, shiny set of wings, and suddenly you're his bitch again." Castiel says "I don't know what God wants. I don't know if he'll even return. It just... seems like the right thing to do." Dean says"Well, if you do see him, you tell him I'm coming for him next." Castiel says "You're angry." Dean says "That's an understatement." Castiel says " He helped. Maybe even more than we realize." Dean says"That's easy for you to say. He brought you back. But what about Sam and Sarah?What about me, huh? Where's my grand prize? All I got is my brother in a hole and my fiancee dead?" Castiel says "You got what you asked for, Dean. No paradise. No hell. Just more of the same. I mean it, Dean. What would you rather have? Peace or freedom?"

When Dean looks over Castiel is gone "Well, you really suck at goodbyes, you know that?" Bobby's Salvage Yard Daytime, Dean and Bobby stand near the Impala and Chuck's Overvoice says "This is the last Dean and Bobby will see of each other for a very long time. [DEAN and BOBBY hug before DEAN drives away.] And, for the record, at this point next week, Bobby will be hunting a rugaru outside of Dayton. But not Dean. Dean didn't want Cas to save him. Every part of him, every fiber he's got, wants to die, or find a way to bring Sam and Sarah back. But he isn't gonna do either. Because he made a promise." Lisa's House, Dean knocks and Lisa opens the door, Voice breaking "Hey, Lisa." Lisa says "Oh, thank god. Are you all right?" Dean's voice breaking "Yeah. Uh, if it's not too late, I... think I'd like to take you up on that beer." Lisa says "It's never too late." Dean steps inside and into Lisa's arms "Shh. It's okay. It's gonna be okay." Chuck's overvoice says "So, what's it all add up to? It's hard to say. But me, I'd say this was a test... for Sam, Sarah and Dean, I think they did all right Up against good, evil, angels, devils, destiny, and God himself, they made their own choice. They chose family. And, well... isn't that kinda the whole point?" Inside Lisa's House, Dean sits at Lisa's table with Ben, Lisa brings a dish to the table "You okay?" Dean says "Yeah, I'm good." Dean takes a drink of whisky but outside of Lisa's House A streetlight burns out. We see someone standing beneath it, watching. It is Sam and Sarah.
