( MEETING THE VAMPIRE )

       Dean is texting on the phone as Sam talks. The scene alternates between Dean in the vampires' house and Sam in the motel room. "I get the separate-lives thing, but this is a hunting thing, and we need to find that line –" Sam starts.

      "Oh, my God, stop talking. I texted you my 20." Dean says.

      "Yeah, I got it. Look, I'm on my way. And, listen, if you handle it, great." Sam says lI'll buy your friend the first round. But, Dean, listen to me. It – Dean? Dean, are you there?" Dean has left his phone, still on, on a sideboard. "Dean." A Vampire hears the phone and walks over to the sideboard. "Dean. You kidding me?"

      Dean cuts off the Vampire's head, then picks up his phone from the ground. The screen is shattered. "Oh, man, come on." He says.

      Sam hangs up and throws his phone to the floor. "Damn it!" He says.

      As Dean prepares to move the body of the Vampire he killed, he looks up and sees a another watching him.

       Sorento brings Benny into a room where Benny's Maker is waiting. "Hello, father." He says.

      "Benny. I have no words."

      "Now, I know that ain't true." He says.

       "Can you help us understand? I know you don't owe us anything, but how?" Says The Maker. "How are you here, standing in front of me?"

       "I found a way back." Benny says.

       "From Hell?"

       "Right next door, as far as I could tell." Says Benny.

       "Next door? What's that?"

       "Oh, I think I'll just have to show you." He says.

      "I know it won't change anything, but I regretted having you killed. When it was all done, I wailed when I saw you in all those pieces." The Maker says as Sorento holds a large knife."Didn't I, Sorento? Didn't I wail like the ugliest baby in the world?"

      "Yes, father. That's when you decided to turn his cow." Sorento says.

      "Poor So-So is bitter because your "cow" outranks him now."

      "Why didn't you let her die? She meant nothing to you." Benny says.

      "But she meant everything to you. If that's all I could salvage from my wayward son – the woman he defied his maker for – I wanted someone to remember you by."

       Meanwhile, a body lies on the ground in the hallway and we hear the sound of another body being dragged away. Two more Vampires appear at the end of the hallway. At the other end of the hallway, we see a body being dragged into a room.

       The Vampires run for the room. There is a slashing sound and the sound of a head hitting the floor, then another slashing sound. A head flies through the air into the hallway. Dean steps out of the room with his Purgatory weapon in his hand and walks down the hallway towards the camera.

FLASHBACK

PURGATORY
[ ☼ ]

       "What the hell do you know about the value of life? You're a vampire." Dean says. He, Benny and Castiel are walking through the forest.

       "Yep. And I think we both know which of our kinds kills more humans." Benny says.

      "Well, statistically speaking, that'd be your –" Cas starts.

       "Yes, thank you, Cas."

       "I get it. You're worried what I might do if we make it topside. I'll start eating your little piggies." Benny says. "I already told you, man – by the time I got iced, I was strictly on blood transfusions, donated blood. Not donated to me, I'll give you that, but I paid good black-market scratch for it."

      "So, what is that? Like the vampire Zone diet?" Asks Dean.

       "Look, all I'm saying is I started seeing something in humanity, okay?" Benny asks. "Something that shouldn't be taken. I drink blood. I don't drink people."

      "And why the hell should I believe you?"

      "What does it matter what you believe? You got your head so far up your ass, Dean, you don't even realize we're already done for." Benny says. "The angel knows it. We are never gonna make it with him next to us glowing like a beacon."

       "Do I need to remind you of our deal? Of what you committed to?" Asks Dean.

       "He is gonna get us killed."

       "We may get to test that theory." Castiel says.

       "More monsters?"

       "Leviathan." He says.

      "Why don't you blip out of here?" Dean says.

      "They're too close. I can't. Run."

MOTEL
[ ☾]

Sam breaks into a car as he and Elena reach the parking lot and drives off.

FLASHBACK

MOTEL
[ ☼ ]

       Riot barks and runs towards one of the motel rooms. "No, no, no. Dog, dog, dog! Oh..." Sam says. Riot runs into Amelia's room. "...no, dog... don't bother the..." Riot jumps up on the sofa and lies across Amelia's lap. "...angry lady." Sam knocks on Amelia's open door. "Uh, hey, sorry."

       "'Dog'? That's what you're calling him?" She asks.

       "Uh..."

       "Well, it's accurate." Amelia says as Sam stands in the doorway with a leash in his hands. "Is Dog taking his antibiotics?"

      "Uh, yes, he is. He's doing much better. Thank you. You know, um..." Sam walks into the room. "...I have to say – um... I've seen a lot of stitches in my time, and you've got really good hands."

      "Thank you." She says.

      "So, you think I'm creepy?"

      "I think it's creepy you buy all your clothing at army surplus." Says Amelia. "White supremacists do that."

      "Yeah, but I'm not." Sam says.

      "Drifting serial killers do that."

       "Fair enough." He says.

       "You come from nowhere, you appear to be going nowhere, and you've, quote, 'seen a lot of stitches'. It's all pretty solid creepy."

      Sam sits down opposite Amelia. "You have no idea where you're going, either, do you?" He asks.

      "No. Not really." She says.

       "And that's because you have no one. I mean, at all, right?" Sam asks. "I mean, that's why you're... here, in this place."

       "I used to – have someone, I mean. But that's over now. It's gone. You know what that's like, don't you?"

END FLASHBACK

CAR
[ ☾]

       Sam holds his phone to his ear while driving.

      "This is Dean's other, other –"

      Sam hangs up and drops the phone to the floor of the car. He speeds up from eighty miles an hour to ninety.

LARGE HOUSE
[ ☾]

      "I suppose you coming back from the dead – well, that's the definition of mutiny, isn't it? All of this has me feeling so... tired." The Maker says.

      "You should have let me go." Benny says.

      "But, Benny, I don't let things go."

      "Really? You lived so long, how is it you have so little, hmm?" Says Benny. "Nothing but a beat-up old harpsichord and nest of hyenas."

      "I have the sea. And I have Andrea." The Maker says.

      "No. You don't have her." Benny holds up the handcuffs. "At least that much I know."

      "Oh, that dumb bitch." Serrano lunges at Benny, who leans back to avoid the knife.

      Benny grabs Serrano's wrist and handcuffs it. He hurls Serrano into a wardrobe, then pushes him to his knees. Benny stands on the loose end of the handcuffs and pulls Serrano's head back with his hair.

       "When the hell did you learn to fight like that?" Serrano asks.

       "I've had a lot of practice." Benny cuts off his head. He spreads his arms wide and lets his knife fall to the ground. "You just gonna sit there?"

        "You're right. I've been here so, so long, Benny, seen all the outcomes, all the patterns a trillion times. It all means so little. This universe is a pyramid of despair, nothing else."

       "A little dark." Benny says.

       "I am evil, after all. At least I've had that much to keep me cold at night." Says The Maker. "You never had that, did you? Everything had to be thought about, considered."

       "You know what Socrates said about a life unconsidered."

      "Yes. But what we have in us? Benny, that's not life. That's what you still don't get. That's why it's always been so hard for you, my poor Benjamin." He says.

        Benny throws his Maker into a glass pane. "Get up." He says as the Maker laughs. Blood runs from his nose.

       "This is the one last thing I can take from you."

       "No. You try, damn it. You try and kill me again." Benny says.

       "This is my story, you gnat."

       "Get up!" Benny yells.

      "It ends the way I choose, not you."

        Benny hauls his Maker to his feet. "Well, at least I can finally show you something new, old man. A whole new..." He flips open the large clasp knife Andrea gave him. "...world."

        Meanwhile, Andrea waits downstairs. Benny walks past her and lays the bloody clasp knife on the harpsichord. "The old man is dead." He holds out a hand. "Let's go."

       Andrea takes his hand, but stays where she is. "Where, Benny?" She asks.

       "What are you talking about? Anywhere." Benny says and Andrea looks down. "You're not leaving here, are you? And you never were."

       "We have everything we need right here. The operation is still perfect. We can ride the high seas, plunder together. We can have the life we always wanted."

       "What I wanted was to leave a burning crater behind. I wanted to put your memory to rest." Benny says.

       "But I'm not a memory." Andrea says. "Benny, I'm right here."

       "What I loved – it ain't here anymore. It was snuffed out a long time ago by monsters like me... like what you've become."

      "You think you're better than me now?" She asks.

       "No. I think we're all damned." Benny says. Andrea snarls and her fangs descend. Dean stabs her from behind and then cuts off her head. Benny and Dean look at each other before Benny looks down at Andrea's body.

SHORE
[ ☾]

        Dean and Benny prepare to launch the boat. "Why'd you do it, Dean?" Benny asks.

       "Do what?" Dean asks.

       "Resurrect me. You could have drained my soul into any culvert, and no one would have been the wiser."

        "What the hell are you talking about?" Dean asks. "Hey, you good?"

       "Man... I don't know what I am."

FLASHBACK

PURGATORY
[ ☼ ]

      Dean, Benny and Castiel run through the forest. Something hits the ground near Dean in a cloud of thick black smoke. Dean, Benny and Castiel stop. The smoke clears and a mass of black goo transforms into a Leviathan.

         "Oh, great." Dean says. The Leviathan moves towards Dean. Castiel heads in the opposite direction, but another missile of black smoke hits the ground in front of him and becomes a another.

       Dean swings at the first one with his weapon. The second throws Castiel to the ground. Dean hacks again at the first, who is down. The second's mouth transforms. Benny cuts off the it's head and gives Castiel a hand to pull him up.

END FLASHBACK

WATER
[ ☾]

       Dean and Benny are in the boat approaching the dock. Benny is steering and Dean is standing at the bow with rope. Sam waits on the dock. Dean throws the rope to Sam and tosses his and Benny's bags onto the dock.

DOCK
[ ☾]

       Dean steps off the boat. Sam and Elena looks past him to Benny. He joins Dean on the dock. "I'm Benny." He offers Sam his hand. Sam takes it.

       "Heard a lot about you, Sam. You too Elena." Benny says. "Dean wouldn't shut up about you."

       In slow motion, Sam looks at Dean as Sam undoes the cover of a knife holster at his side with his left hand. Sam's fingers flex on his knife. Benny watches. Dean shakes his head and Sam loosens his grip on his knife. Benny lets go of Sam's hand.

      "I can see you two have a lot to talk about."
