"How little?" "Rhode Island" "Like when you put on "a little" eye shadow." "it's just very unprofessional." "Don't touch the troll!" "Is that what your mom used to say to your dates?" "or I'll put a staple right between your eyes." "I know it's hard." "It's hard to look up when you're down." "It's hard to look up and see the light." "But I'm here to tell you folks... the lord is with you." "You don't have to suffer." "You don't have to be lost." "The lord is talking to you right now." "and you have a purpose.¡± no!" "All you got to do is listen." "Can't you just hear those angels singing?" "Isn't it beautiful?" "It's time." "It's time to receive the message he's sending." "It's time to listen to the word of god!" "Can you hear the glory?" "can't you just hear the lord?" "{\cH00FFFF}" "{\cH00FFFF}" "{\cH00FFFF}" "Good morning." "You're not the usual guy. uh... just filling in." "gloria?" "I've never felt better." "no disturbances lately?" "am I stark-raving cuckoo for cocoa puffs?" "I didn't say that." "It's all right." "I know what people must think." "What do you think?" "I think what I saw was real." "I'd like to know what you saw." "It was all over the news." "I stabbed a man in the heart." "Why would you do that?" "Because it was god's will." "Did god talk to you?" "I get the sense god's a little busy for house calls." "he -- he sent someone." "Someone?" "An angel." "It came to me in this beautiful white light." "And it filled me with this... feeling." "It's -- it's hard to describe." "And this angel... spoke god's word." "And the word was to kill someone?" "I know it sounds strange." "But what I did was very important." "I helped him smite an evil man." "I was chosen...for redemption." "This man you stabbed -- did the angel give you his name?" "No. and I knew." "Why him?" "I just know what the angel told me -- that this man was guilty to his deepest foundations." "And that was good enough for me." "Hey!" "Hey!" "there really is magic in the magic fingers." "you're enjoying that way too much." "It's kind of making me uncomfortable." "XXXXXXXXX You got me on lockdown here." "I'm bored out of my skull." "not me." "We can't risk you just walking into a government facility." "damn it." "That was my last quarter." "Hey!" "You got any quarters?" "No." "did you get in to see that crazy hooker?" " Yeah." "Gloria sitnik." "And I'm not so sure she's crazy." "But she seriously believes that she was..." "touched by an angel?" "Yeah." "the works." "and she's totallyat peace." "you're right -- sounds completely sane." "What about the dudeshe stabbed?" "carl gulley." "Said she killed him'cause he was evil." " Was he?" " I don't know." "And I couldn't find any dirt on him. was a churchgoer." "So gloria's just your standard-issue wacko?" "she wouldn't bethe first nut job in history know what I mean?" "but she'sthe second in town to murderbecause an angel told them to." "don't you think?" "Odd -- yeah." "Supernatural -- maybe." "But angels " " I don't think so." "Why not?" "sam." "there's 10 timesas much lore about angels as there is about anything elsewe've ever hunted." "too." "I hear that they rideon silver moonbeams and they shoot rainbowsout of their ass." "there's no such thingas unicorns?" "That's cute." "there's some legends that you just fileunder "bull crap.¡±" "And you got angelson the "bull crap" list?" " Yep." " Why?" " Because I've neverseen one." " So what?" "So I believe inwhat I can see." "you and ihave seen things most peoplecouldn't even dream about." "Exactly." "okay?" "I have never seen anything that looks like an angel." "Don't you think we would have crossed paths with them or at least know someone that crossed paths with them?" "No." "This is a demon or a spirit." "and they trick them into killing these randoMs." "Maybe." "huh?" "I was just there." "no E.M.F." "white wing feathers?" "But gloria did say the angel gave her a sign right beside carl gulley's doorway." "Could be something at his house." "It's worth checking out." "sam." "Think I found it." "It's a sign from up above." "I think I learn a valuable lesson." "or you might get filletedby a hooker from god." "I'm laughing on the inside." "gloria said the guy was guiltyto his deepest foundations." "You think she literally mean the foundation?" "You got something?" "What is it?" "It's a fingernail." "So much for the innocent church going librarian." "Whatever spoke to gloria about this knew what it was talkingabout " "I'll give you that." "Yes?" "Hi." "My name is zach." "Can I help you?" "Did you bring quarters? I'm not enabling your sick habit." "You're likeone of those lab rats that pushes the pleasure button instead of the food button until it dies." "What are you talking about?" "I eat.And I got news." "you go first." "Three students have disappearedoff the campus this year." "All of them were last seenat the library." " Where carl gulley worked." " yep." " Sick bastard." " So gloria's angel -- whatever this thing is." "it struck again." " What?" "I was listeningto the police radio before you got here." "some local drunk." "stabbed him in the heart." "I'm guessing he wentto the police and confessed?" "Yep." "Roma downey made him do it." "uh... got the victim's address." "Find anything?" "Frank likedhis catalog shopping." "That's about all I got." "You?" "Not much here." "Except he's got this one lockedfile on his computer that... hold on." "Not anymore." "God." "What?" "to this ladynamed jennifer." "This ladywho's 13 years old." "I don't wantto hear this." "Looks like they metin a chat room." "dean." "Look at that." " Setting up a time and place to meet." " Great." "They were supposed to meettoday." "good timing." "man." "This is weird." "like a -- avenging angel?" "dean?" "Three guys not connectedto each other all stabbedthrough the heart? and I bet if you dug deep enoughon the other guy -  hey." " What?" "right?" " Yeah." " What was the nameof his church?" "our lady of the angels?" "Of course that would bethe name." "Looks like frank wentto the same church." "you're interestedin joining the parish?" "We just don't feel right unlesswe hit church every sunday." "Where'd you sayyou lived before?" "texas." " Really?" "That's a nice town." "St.Teresa's parish." "You must knowthe priest there." "it's fr.O'malley." "I knowa fr.Shaughnessy." "exactly." "What did I say?" "father." "And we're happyto have you." "We could usesome young blood around here." "but the neighborhood... it's gone to seed a little." "There's no denying that." "But that's why what the churchdoes here is so important." "you work your butt off." "we heardabout the murders." " yes." "The victims were parishionersof mine." "I've known them for years." "And the killers said thatan angel made them do that?" "Yes." "Misguided souls." "To think that god's messenger would appear and incite people to murder -- it's tragic." "huh?" "I absolutely believe." "It kind of goeswith the job description." "right?" "That's right." "with the flaming sword -- holy force against evil." "they're not reallythe hallmark-card version that everybody thinks?" "right?" "Vigilant. a lot of scripture paints angelsas god's warriors. and they were terrified.¡±" "Luke 2:9." "father." " It's my pleasure." "what's all that for?" "that's for fr.Gregory. He was a priest here." "Was?" "Passed awayright on these steps." "He's interredin the church crypt." " When did this happen?" " Two months ago." "He was shot for his car keys." "me too." "He was a good friend." "I didn't even have time to administer his last rites." "it's a tough neighborhood." "I've been praying my heart out." "For what?" "For deliverance... from the violenceand the bloodshed around here." "I suppose." "thanks." "We'll see you again." "it's all startingto make sense." "Devoted priestdies a violent death -- that's vengeful-spirit material right there." "He knew all the stiffs'cause they went to church here." "he knew things about them that nobody else knew." "right?" "Right about the time all this started happening?" "man." "What's your deal?" "What do you mean?" "but since when are youall Mr. "700 club?" "¡± man." "What's next?"

"angel?" "Just... and I just " "you know?" "Like -- like grace." "huh?" "I'm serious." "It spoke to me." "It knew who I was." "sam." "And it's not the first one to be able to readpeople's minds." "let me guess -- you were personally chosento smite some sinner?" "You just got to waitfor some divine bat signal." "Is that it?" "actually." "Great." "I don't suppose you asked what this alleged bad guy did." "and the angel told me." "He hasn't done anything..." "yet." "But he will." "this is -- I don't believe this." "the angelhasn't been wrong yet." "and I can stop it." "sam." "Maybe I shouldstop you right now." "dean?" "I don't understand." "Why can't you even considerthe possibility?" "that this is an angel?"

"Proof that we're dealingwith a spirit." " That looks like -- - it's wormwood... specifically the onesthat are not at rest." "except overthe murdered priest's marker." "sam." "Maybe." "Maybe?" "I don't knowwhat to think." "Okay." "Want some more proof?" "I'll give you more proof." "How?" "We'll summon gregory's spirit." "What?" "Here?" "In the church?" "Yeah."
