CASEY HOME

Knocking on a door. The door swings open and Sam looks at it but decides to go through it anyway.

"Dean?" Sam Says As He checks out the place. He steps on little pink piggy slippers that make a disturbing sound. Looking at a picture of Casey with a guy, and a cross necklace hanging on top of it, he sees behind it a yellow powder. He sniffs it, Sulfur."

BASEMENT IN CASEY'S PARENT'S HOME.

"So, demons take over. I thought the meek shall inherit the earth." Dean Says

"Oh, according to your Bible.It's only a book, Dean." Casey Says

"Not everyone would agree." Dean Says

"Because it's God's book?, Do you believe in God, Dean? I'd be surprised if you did." Casey Says

"I don't know. I'd like to." Dean Says

"Well, I don't see how you and your God, have done such a bang-up job. War, genocide — it's only getting worse. I mean, this past century, you people racked up a body count that amazed even us.It's our turn now, and we're gonna do it right this time.Dean hears a noise. Looks up towards grate, Don't be hopeful, Dean. You're not delivered. It's only the wind." Casey Says

TROTTER'S BAR

"Bobby, It's Sam. We got a big problem. I found some sulfur, and now I can't find Dean. Call me as soon as you get this. Hey, excuse me. Um, they weren't there." Sam Says

"I guess you got to catch your jollies another night. Here. Why don't you have a drink ... and relax?" Barman Says

"Yeah, I don't want to relax! What is it with the people in this town?" Sam Asks

"Suit yourself — princess." The Barman Says As he takes the shot he had poured for Sam

Sam sees Father Gil sitting at a booth in the bar and approaches him.

"Father." Sam Says

"Yes?" Father Gil Says

"Um... can I, can I talk to you for a sec?" Sam Asks

THE BASEMENT.

"You know, you're piling it pretty high there, sweetheart. I'm not sure I'm buying." Dean Says

"Why would I lie?" Casey Says

"Demons lie." Dean Says

"Some do. Some are true believers." Casey Says

"Believers in what?" Dean Asks

"What, you think humans have an exclusive on a higher power?" Casey Says

"You have a god?" Dean Asks

"Sure. His name's Lucifer." Casey Says

"You mean the Devil?" Dean Asks

"Your word, not ours. Lucifer actually means "light bringer." Look it up. Once he was the most beautiful of all God's angels, But God demanded that he bow down before Man, and when he refused, God banished him. Tell me, Dean. How do you like bowing before lesser creatures?" Casey Says

"Lucifer's really real?" Dean Asks

"Well, no one's actually seen him, but they say that he made us into what we are, and they say that he'll return." Casey Says

"Oh, yeah? And, uh, you believe that?" Dean Asks

"I've got faith." Casey Says

"Mmm." Dean Says

"So, you see? Is my kind really all that different than yours?" Casey Asks

"Well, except that, uh, demons are evil." Dean Says

"...and humans are such a lovable bunch. Dick Cheney." Casey Says

"He one of yours?" Dean Asks

"Not yet. Let's just say he's got a parking spot reserved for him downstairs." Casey Says

"Hey, speaking of downstairs ... what's it like down there?" Dean Asks

"What, Hell?" Casey Says

"Yeah." Dean Says

"That's right. You booked a one-way ticket with that deal, You're not gonna like it, Dean. And, um, judging from the trouble you've caused, I don't think you'll be getting the presidential suite. No, it's a pit of despair. Why do you think we want to come here?" Casey Says As Dean looks somber

TROTTER'S BAR

"So, the, the bartender the other night, Casey. You know her pretty well?" Sam Asks

"Since she was in pigtails." Father Gil Says

"Well, um, she and my brother, they, uh... thinking how to say this, they... left tonight. Together." Sam Says

"Ah. Well ... not that I approve, but they are consenting adults" Father Gil Says

"Right." Sam Says

"I, I'm sorry. You said "brother." I thought the two of you were insurance investigators?" Father Gil Asks

"Right, right. Well, well we are. Um, it's like, it's like a family business, you know?" Sam Says

"Ah." Father Gil Says

"Anyways, um, so, so, I went to Casey's apartment, and they weren't there. I, I, I just have this feeling that they ... that they might be in trouble." Sam Says

"What kind of trouble?" Father Gil Asks

"Just ... trouble. Look, please, Father, I, I need your help. Is there anything you could tell me about Casey — anyplace she'd go, maybe ...?" Sam Asks

"Yes, there is a place. Let me get my jacket." Father Gil Says

"No, wait, wait, wait, Father. I can do this by myself." Sam Says

"Son, if Casey's really in trouble, then there's nothing to talk about." Father Gil Says As He stands and puts on his coat. We see what Sam doesn't — he has demon-black eyes.

"Shall we go?" Father Gil Says

BASEMENT.

"Kind of funny, don't you think? You and me sitting here like a couple of regular folk." Casey Says

"Yeah, it's hilarious, you know, in that ... apocalyptic sort of way." Dean Says

"You're all right, Dean. Dean scoffs, The others don't describe you that way. But, you know, you're — you're likable." Casey Says

"A demon likes me.Sorry, I don't know how to respond to that." Dean Says

"You could say thanks. pause, That deal you made to save Sam — a lot of others would mock you for it, think it was weak or stupid. I don't." Casey Says

"It's been kind of liberating, actually. Y'know, what's the point in worrying about a future, when you don't have one?" Dean Says

"Still, a year left. You're not scared?" Casey asks

"Nah." Dean Says

"Not even a little?" Casey Says

"Of course not." Dean Says

CAR.

"So, insurance investigating. You enjoy the work?" Father Gil Asks

"Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I ... like being able to help people." Sam Says

"Ever think about doing anything else?" Father Gil Asks

"Like what?" Sam Says

"Mmm, anything. You seem like a pretty smart kid. Somehow I see you out in front of the pack. You could do some great things." Father Gil Says

"I don't know. I like doing what I'm doing, I guess." Sam Says

"Well, it's your life. Does, um ... Dean?" Father Gil Says

"Yeah, Dean." Sam Says

"Does he find trouble often?" Father Gil Asks

"Yeah. Yeah, Dean finds his fair share." Sam Says

"Well, it's a good thing he has you — his brother's keeper." Father Gil Says

BASEMENT

Casey is stretching languorously on the floor.

"Why, Dean, if I didn't know better, I'd say that was lust in your eyes.Well, it would be one way to spend the time ... but I don't think you'd respect me in the morning." Casey Says

"That's okay.I mean, hey, I barely respect you now.
Hey, can I ask you a question?" Dean Says

"I'm an open book." Casey Says

"So, the gate opened. The demon army was let out. What now, huh? I'm not seeing a big, honking plan here." Dean Says

"Honestly, there was a plan. Azazel was a tyrant, but ... he held us all together." Casey Says

"Azazel?" Dean Says

"What, you think his friends just called him "yellow eyes"? He had a name. After you did him in, it all fell apart." Casey Says

"Sorry about that, He Smiles, So, what? No chain of command?" Dean Asks

"There was. It was Sam. Sam was supposed to be the grand pooh-bah and lead the big army, but ... he hasn't exactly stepped up to the plate, has he?" Casey Says

"Thank God for that." Dean Says

"Again with God. You think this is a good thing? Now you've got chaos, a war without a front, hundreds of demons all jockeying for power, all fighting for the crown. Most of them gunning for your brother.For the record, I was ready to follow Sam." Casey Says

CASEY'S PARENT'S HOME.

Father Gil's station wagon pulls up in front of Casey's home. Fg and Sam get out of the car and start walking towards the home.

"Dean?!" Sam Says

BASEMENT.

Dean hears his brother, looks up.

"Looks like you win." Casey Says As Pounding on door is heard.

CASEY'S PARENT'S HOME.

"Dean!, He continues pounding door,Check that way." Sam Says As He walks off in the other direction around the house.

"Sam!" Dean Says

"Dean?" Sam Says

"Sammy, down here! The basement caved in!" Dean Says

"Dean. Hey, hold on, okay? We're coming." Sam Says

"Who's we?" Dean Asks

"I'm here with the Father." Sam Says As Dean glances back to Casey, whose lips part — with excitement? It's hard to read her exactly. Dean turns back to his brother.

"Sammy, be careful." Dean Says As Sam turns to see Father Gil going black-eyed. A shot is fired just past Father's Gil head, destroying a small statute. Father Gil whips around to see Bobby, and then uses his powers to fling him aside. He then throws Sam into the windscreen of the Impala.

Father Gil leaves, and blows off the door of Casey's' home, entering it. Sam, groaning, rolls off the hood of the car and rushes to where Bobby lies on the ground.

"Bobby, you all right?" Sam Asks

"Yeah." Bobby Says

"How did you know where we—" Sam Says
As Bobby hands him the rebuilt Colt

"Go!" Bobby Says

"You heard the man. Go." Ruby Says

Loud forceful bangs shove the stones aside. Dean looks nervously towards Casey who seems anticipatory.

Father Gil smashes in through the cave-in. Dean rushes him. Father points a finger and Dean goes flying backwards. Casey looks at Father Gil, who approaches her.

"Stop!" Casey Says As She points to the devil's trap. Father Gil kneels, and slams his fist down, cracking the floor and breaking the devil's trap. They steps out of the circle, and they embrace and kiss passionately. Dean struggles to his feet, and gestures to the two of them, looking revolted.

"You two?" Dean Says

"For centuries. We've been to hell and back, literally." Father Gil Says

"Leave him be." Casey Says As Father Gil grabs Dean by the throat and lifts him up.Don't kill him. Let's just go Please."

Sam appears and shoots Father Gil with the Colt. Lightning emits from and circles Father Gil who twitches and dies. He points it at Casey

"Sam, wait!" Dean Says But Sam shoots her, and the bodies of Casey and Father Gil, no longer possessed, lie dead on the devil's trap. Dean stares at his brother as he slowly lowers the Colt, and the bodies bleed out.

MAIN STREET ELIZABETHVILLE. DAYTIME.

Not much appears changed since the demons were killed.

Bobby and Dean are walking outside on a busy sidewalk.

"Well, what do you think, Bobby?, About what we did here, you think it made a difference?" Dean Asks

"Two less demons to worry about. That's not nothing." Bobby Says

"Yeah, but Trotter's still alive." Dean Says

"Humans ain't our job." Bobby Says

"Yeah, but you think anything's really gonna change? I mean maybe these people do just want to really destroy themselves. Maybe it is ... a losing battle." Dean Says

"Is that you or the demon girl talking?" Bobby Asks

"Ohhhh, it's me. Demon is dead, and so is that hot girl it was possessing." Dean Says

"Well, had to be done. Sam was saving your life." Bobby Says

"Yeah, but you didn't see it, Bobby. It was cold." Dean Says As He stops and turns for a face-to-face, Bobby."

"Yeah?" Bobby Says

"Back in Wyoming, uh, there was this moment. Yellow Eyes said something to me." Dean Says

"What'd he say?" Bobby Asks

"That maybe when ... Sam came back from well wherever, ... that maybe he came back different." Dean Says

"Different how?" Bobby Asks

"I don't know. Whatever it was, it didn't sound good. You think ... think something's wrong with my brother?" Dean Says

"No. Demons lie. I'm sure Sam's okay." Bobby Says

"Yeah. Yeah, me too." Dean Says

HOTEL ROOM

Sam Is Packing as seen from the ceiling mirrors

"Leaving so soon? We haven't even had a chance to celebrate." Ruby Says

"Yeah, well you can celebrate without me." Sam Says

"You're not gonna get all pouty on me now, are you? Come on! You killed two demons today." Ruby Says

"Yeah, well, maybe you don't care, but I killed two humans, too." Sam Says

"Sam, you know what happens when demons piggyback humans. They leave them rode hard and put up wet. Chances are those two would have died a slow, sticky death. You probably did them a favor." Ruby Says

"Did them a favor? You're a cold bitch, you know that?" Sam Says

"Yeah, and this cold bitch has saved your ass a couple of times now. Some respect might be nice. Especially if you want me to help you out with Dean and his little problem." Ruby Says

"You know what? You keep dangling that, but last I checked, Dean's still going to Hell." Sam Says

"Everything in its own time, Sam. But there's a quid pro quo here. We're in a war." Ruby Says

"Right. But for some reason, you're fighting on our team. Now, tell me, why is that again?" Sam Asks

"Go screw yourself, that's why." Ruby Says

"Oh I see." Sam Says

"I don't have to justify my actions to you, Sam. If you don't want my help, fine. Then give me the gun and I'll pass it on to someone who will use it." Ruby Says
Then Sam Points The Colt at Ruby

"Maybe I'll just use it on you." Sam Says

"Go ahead, if that makes you happy. It's not gonna do much for Dean, though. So, what's it gonna be, hmm?" Ruby Asks As Sam Lowers The Colt

"Ah hah. That's my boy, This won't be easy, Sam. You're gonna have to do things that go against that gentle nature of yours. There'll be collateral damage... But, it has to be done." Ruby Says

"Well, I don't have to like it." Sam Says

"No. You wouldn't be Sam if you did. On the bright side, I'll be there with you. Sam look nervously, looking unhappy. That little fallen angel on your shoulder." Ruby Says
