HOSPITAL ROOM

Sam is still unconscious and a woman enters. Dean, who was leaning against the window frame, stands up.

"Hi. I'm just gonna break the ice. Are you an angel?" Dean Asks

"Sometimes I wish I were. My name is Kim Schortz, and I'm a grief counselor here at the hospital." She Says

"Right. Yeah. Uh... Sorry. I'm just tired. Well, all due respect, but, uh, I'm not grieving – not yet at least, so—" Dean Says

"I'm afraid, as hard as this may be, this might be a good time to talk... about the inevitable." Kim Says

"Look, I'm sure you're a nice person and that you mean well, but "inevitable" – that's a fightin' word where I come from. There's always a way." Dean Says

"And I am a prayerful woman who believes in miracles as much as the next, but I also know how to read an EEG. And unless you're telling me you have a direct line to those angels that you were looking for-" Kim Says

"Yeah, no, I, uh... Guess I don't. But I might have something better. I got the King of Hell in my trunk." Dean Says then leaves the room.

"Uh, is – is that... I'm sorry. Is that a metaphor?" Kim Says

Dean walks outside the hospital towards to the Impala and taps on the trunk.

"Crowley, listen up, you son of a bitch. One for yes, two for no. You alive?" There is no response.
"Come on, don't be a pouter." Crowley, inside the trunk, hits it once. "There we go."

The Man in the suit grabs Dean by the back of the neck and holds and angel knife against his throat.

"You prayed?" He Says

"Yeah, for help." Dean Says

"Yes. You'll be helping me." He Says

The Man forces Dean down against the Imapla's trunk.

"If you lie to me, Dean Winchester, I will rip your throat out. Where is Castiel?" He Says

"Who's asking?" Dean Says

"Try every angel who was ejected from their home." He Says

"Oh. Oh, well, in that case, I have no clue." Dean Says

He slams Dean against the Impala's trunk twice. He raises the angel knife, but the Tall man from the bus catches his arm from behind.

"Easy there, brother. This young man has prayed for our assistance. Are we creatures of wrath or compassion? I would argue the latter." He Says

"Forgive me, brother. I don't recognize you." He Says

"Happy to make your re-acquaintance. After you disarm." He Says

The Man lets go of Dean and holds up his hands placatingly, then punches the Tall Man.

"Come, now. Is that any way to treat a brother injured in the fall?" He Says

Both men fight and the angel knife falls to the ground. The Man flings the Tall man into a vehicle, breaking the window glass. Dean stabs the Man in the suit with the angel knife, He dies in a blinding flash of white light.

"Who are you?" Dean Asks

He's leaning against the vehicle with blood on his face "Never mind me. You're Dean Winchester. I heard your prayer, and I am here to help." He passes out and slides to the ground.

"Okay." Dean Says

ABANDONED HOUSE

The Demon who stole Elena's body picks her up and brings her into the house which is dirty and filled with lit candles, he lays her body down on the table and pushes the hair out her face.

"...she's so beautiful once she's dead, but sooner you'll be even more beautiful." Demon Says then laughs

HOSPITAL ROOM

Denny is lying down in the hospital bed, he's hooked up to the machine the doctors are telling her what happened during his surgery.

"..Complications what do you mean complications?" Corinna Says

"Ms.Stark your husband has suffered a intracranial hematoma. Which is very common in fatal car accidents, It's most commonly caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the brain or from trauma such as a car accident or fall. The blood collection can be within the brain tissue or underneath the skull, pressing on the brain." Dr.Morris Says

"So..is my husband going to live yes or no..please someone just tell me because I've been walking around all like a chicken with my head cut off..is my husband going to live yes or no?!" Corinna Says

"His organs are shutting down and theirs massive damage to brain...we couldn't save him, the machine is keeping him stable...all we can do now is to keep him comfortable." Dr.Morris Says As Tears fall down Corinna's face

"Mhmm." Corinna Says

"I'm sorry Mrs.Stark." Dr.Morris Says

"...Yeah..." Corinna Says

Dr.Morris leaves the room, Corinna looks over at Denny in the hospital bed and she leaves the room as well and walks into the bathroom. She paces back and forth running her fingers throughout her hair breathing heavily, Corinna looks at herself in the mirror and punches it. She looks at her bloody knuckles and sighs.

GAS STATION

Castiel and Hael are sitting near the gas pumps.

"It was a normal day, and then just... dark. And then I was just... falling. How could that happen?" Hael Asks

"I don't know." Castiel Says

"Your grace – it's... gone?" Hael Asks

"I do still hear angel radio, though." Castiel Says

"Then you've heard them – our brothers and sisters, many still circling for vessels, most just... so afraid." Hael Says

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I can assure you." Castiel Says

"But Heaven – there was order. There was purpose." Hael Says

"Well, believe it or not, there may be something even better down here." Castiel Says

"I don't understand." Hael Says

"There's opportunity for you, the others who have fallen, to do finally do what you would like to do – not just what you've been told." Castiel Says

"And what would I like to do?" Hael Asks

"You tell me. If you could do anything, what would it be?" Castiel Says

"There's a place. I built it when I was last here – many years ago. A grand canyon." Hael Says

"The Grand Canyon, yes." Castiel Says

"I - I would like to see that." Hael Says

"Let's go see the Grand Canyon, then." Castiel Says

HOSPITAL GARAGE

The Tall man wakes on the ground in a circle of fire, Dean walks around outside the flames.

"You want to help? Start with a name." Dean Says

"Ezekiel." He Says

"All right, Ezekiel. How do I know you're not hunting me or Castiel like the other angels?" Dean Says

"Oh, I'm sure there are many angels who are. Many more are on their way here, most likely." Ezekiel Says

"How do you know that?" Dean Asks

"You put out an open prayer like that..." Ezekiel Says

"I must really be desperate." Dean Says As Ezekiel gets to his feet.

"Believe it or not, some of us still do believe in our mission. And that means we believe in Castiel...and you." Ezekiel Says

"You said you were hurt during the fall." Dean Says

"I was. Entangling with my brother back there did me no favors. But what strength I have left, I offer to you." Ezekiel Says

COMA FOREST

Sam and Bobby walk through the forest. "I want to fight. I do. But I just feel like..."

"Like you got nothing to swing at? Like you're punching at shadows? You got to let go of fightin' and scratchin' and lookin' for loopholes, 'cause that ain't happenin'." Bobby Says

"So – so, what? I - I - I just die?" Sam Says

"Just die? All the good you've done, all the people you've saved, all the sacrifices you've made? You've saved the world, son. How many people can say that? How many people can say that they have left this godforsaken hunk of dirt that much a better place? What you call dyin' I call leavin' a legacy." Bobby Says

HOSPITAL ROOM

Sam is still unconscious and Ezekiel puts a hand on his chest.

"You still able to cure things after the fall?" Dean Asks

"Yes, I should be, but... he's so weak." Ezekiel Says
Then Dean's phone rings and he answers.

"Who is this?" Dean Asks

"Dean." Castiel Says

Dean walks out of Sam's room and into the hospital corridor.

"Cas, what the hell's going on?" Dean Asks

"Metatron tricked me. It wasn't angel trials. It was a spell. I wanted you to know that." Castiel Says

"Okay That's great, but we've got ourselves a problem." Dean Says

"What's wrong?" Castiel Asks

"Sam. He's, um – they say he's dying." Dean Says

"What happened?" Castiel Asks

"I don't know. I mean, first he was okay, and then he wasn't. And I – have you heard my prayers? I've been praying to you all night." Dean Says

"Dean, Metatron – he – he took my grace." Castiel Says

"What?" Dean Says

"Don't worry about me what are you doing for Sam?" Castiel Says

"Uh, everything I can. There's actually another angel in there working on him right now." Dean Says

"What other angel?" Castiel Asks

"Um, his name is Ezekiel. He's cool. I mean, I think he is." Dean Says

"Ezekiel. Yes." He smiles. "He's a good soldier. He should be able to help until I get there." Castiel Says

"Wait, no, no, no. No, hey, that's not an option." Dean Says

"It might be a few days, but –" Castiel Says

"Hey, Cas, listen to me. There are angels out there, okay? And they – they're looking for you, and they're pissed." Dean Says

"Not all of them, Dean. Some are just looking for direction. Some are just lost." Castiel Says

"What are you talking about?" Dean Says

"I met one. I think I can help her, Dean." Castiel Says

"No, Cas, I know you want to help, okay? I do, but helping angels is what got you in trouble in the first place. Now, I'm begging you – for once, look out for yourself. Until we figure out what the hell is going on, trust nobody." Dean says

"And do what? Just abandon them all?" Castiel Says

"Damn it, Cas. You hearing yourself? There's a war on, and it's on you. There's thousands of them out th– You said you lost your grace, right? That means you're human. That means you bleed and you eat and you sleep and all the things you never had to worry about before." Dean Says

"I'm fine, Dean." Castiel Says As There are rumbling sounds at the hospital.

"Whoa.." Dean Says

"What's going on?" Castiel Asks

"I think we got more company. Look, get your ass to the bunker alone. You hear me?" Dean Says

"Dean." Castiel Says

"Go, Cas!" Dean Says

"Dean." Castiel Says As Dean hangs up and goes back into Sam's room.

"One of yours?" Dean Asks

"Trying to secure a vessel. We need to move." Ezekiel Says

"No, no. If we move him, he dies." Dean Says

"If we stay, we could all die." Ezekiel Says

Dean picks up a whiteboard marker and draws an Enochian symbol on the walls.

GAS STATION

"I don't understand. I'll come with you. We can see your friend together." Hael Says

"It's complicated. There could be trouble. It's – it's best if I go alone. My – my friend – he... needs my help." Castiel Says

"I need help." Hael Says

"You can do this, Hael. This is your chance to help people, to help yourself. I'm sorry." Castiel Says

Castiel turns away and Hael picks up a length of wood and hits him over the head, Castiel falls to the ground unconscious.

DENNY'S ROOM

Corinna is sitting in the chair her hand is wrapped up she's watch the monitor and listening to the beeps as Denny lays there, She climbs into bed with him.

"Hey there handsome, I just wanted to lay right here next to you before it's time...I know you probably can't hear me but, there's some things I need to say.
I never would have expected to say goodbye to you so soon, I mean we've only been married for thirty five days...and it's been the best days of my life. You were always there for me at times when I needed you, especially when I was at my lowest...you knew just how to bring me back...you showed me a love like I've never experienced it before so warm so passionate and safe...the doctor told me some important news today, we're having a baby..never wanted to ever find out I'm pregnant during these circumstances but hey it's life right." She runs her fingers throughout his hair "..Oh Denny." Corinna Says

There's a knock on the door and it's the entire Russo family, Corinna sits up and runs over to Avena and Dominic and gives them the biggest hug.

HALLWAY

Corinna and Avena are sitting alone on a bench, she's holding Corinna's hand.

"How many weeks are you?" Avena Asks

"Five...I don't know whether to be excited or sad because the past 48 hours have been hell for all of us." Corinna Says

"Yeah...Liam, we stopped by over at him a couple hours ago before you called...and now Elena." Avena Says

"I lost two of my best friends and my husband is dying and there isn't anything I can do to save him.."She wipes away her tears "...I don't know what to do..Avena what would you do...if Dominic was in Denny's position?" Corinna Says

"Well.." She wipes away her tears "..you never want to think of situations like these but you got to. Dom and I talked about this a long time ago, if there's nothing we can do to save us or our children in the hospital...we don't want to seem like that anymore.
I'm going to miss my baby boy so much, no parent wants to ever burry their son...but I look in that room and he's fading away every second...I can't stand to see him like that and I know you don't either." Avena Says As Corinna sighs

"No I don't...." Corinna Says

"Then you know what to do." Avena Says As Corinna looks away at the ground
