"Sam:" "He's a Winchester." "He's already cursed." "Sam:" "You're not Adam." "You've never been Adam." "You're a ghoul." "You can't kill the devil and you're losing faith in yourself, your brother."

"Results, results, results." "They don't know." "They're not down on the ground, in the mud," "Nose to nose with all you pig-filthy humans." "Am I right?" "Absolutely... filthy what?"

"How's Lisa doing, anyways?" "I'm not gonna kill myself." "No?" "So, Michael's not about to make you his Muppet?" "What the hell, man?" "This is how it ends?" "You just... walk out?" "Yeah, I guess." "How could you do that?" "How could I?" "All you've ever done is run away!" "And I was wrong every single time I did." "[exhales sharply]" "Just... please... not now." "Bobby is working on something." "Oh, really... what?" "You got nothing, and you know it." "[sighs]" "You know I have to stop you." "[sniffs]" "Yeah, well, you can try." "But just remember, you're not all hopped up on demon blood this time." "Yeah, I know... [sighing] but I brought help." "Yeah, no, this is good, really." "Eight months of turned pages and screwed pooches, but tonight... tonight's when the magic happens." "You ain't helping." "Yeah, well, why don't you let me get out of your hair, then?" "What the hell happened to you?" "Reality happened." "Nuclear's the only option we have left." "Michael can ice the devil, save a boatload of people." "But not all of them." "We got to think of something else." "Yeah, well, that's easy for you to say." "But if Lucifer burns this mother down and I could have done something about it, guess what... that's on me." "You can't give up, son." "[scoffs]" "You're not my father." "And you ain't in my shoes." "What is that?" "That's the round I mean to put through my skull." "Every morning, I look at it, and I think..." ""maybe today's the day I flip the lights out."" "But I don't do it." "I never do it." "You know why?" "Because I promised you I wouldn't give up!"

"That's our brother." "Wait a minute." "Your brother..." "Adam?" "Cass, what the hell?" "Angels." "Angels... why?" "I know one thing for sure." "We need to hide him now." "[groans] [panting]" " Where am I?" " Sam:" "It's okay." "Just relax." "You're safe." "Who the hell are you?" "You're gonna find this a little... a lot crazy, but we're actually your brothers." "It's the truth." "John Winchesters our father, too." "See, I'm Sam." "Yeah, and I'm sure that's Dean." "I know who you are." " How?" " They warned me about you." " Who did?" " The angels." "Now, where the hell is Zachariah?" "!" "So, why don't you just tell us everything?" "Start from the beginning." "Well, I was dead and in heaven... except it... it, uh, kind of looked like my prom." "And I was making out with this girl." "Her... her name was Kristin McGee." "Yeah, that sounds like heaven." "Did you get to third base?" "[clears throat] Just, uh... just keep going." "Well, these... these angels, they popped out of nowhere, and they tell me that I-I'm chosen." "For what?" "To save the world." "How you gonna do that?" "Oh, me and some archangel are gonna kill the devil." "What archangel?" "Michael." "I'm his, uh, sword or vessel or something." "I don't know [chuckles] Well, that's insane." "Not necessarily." "How do you mean?" "Maybe they're moving on from you, Dean." "Well, that doesn't make sense." "He's John Winchesters bloodline," "Sam's brother." "It's not perfect, but it's possible." "You got to be kidding me." "Why would they do this?" "Maybe they're desperate." "Maybe they've wrongly assumed" "Dean would be brave enough to withstand them." "All right, you know what?" "Blow me, Cass." "Look." "No way." "After everything that's happened. [chuckles]" "All that crap about destiny, suddenly the angels have a plan "B"?" "Does that smell right to anybody?" "You know, this has been a really moving family reunion, but, uh, I got a thing, so..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "No, no, no." "Sit down." "Just listen, okay?" "Please." "It's unbelievable." "Now, Adam..." "The angels are lying to you." "They're full of crap." "Yeah, I don't think so." "Really?" "[scoffs] why not?" "Um, 'cause they're angels." "They tell you they were gonna roast half the planet?" "They said the fight might get pretty hairy, but it is the devil, right?" "So, we got to stop him." "Yeah, but there's another way." "Adam:" "Great." "What is it?" "Well, we're working on the power of love." " How's that going?" " Not good." "[sighs] Look, Adam... you don't know me from a hole in the wall, I know... but I'm begging you." "Please, just trust me." "Give me some time." "Give me one good reason." "Because we're blood." "You got no right to say that to me." "You're still John's boy." "No, John Winchester was some guy who took me to a baseball game once a year." "I don't have a dad." "So, we may be blood, but we are not family." "My mom is my family... and if I do my job, I get to see her again." "So, no offense, but she's the one I give a rat's ass about, not you." "Fair enough." "But if you have one good memory of dad... just one... then you'll give us a little more time." "Please." "[sighs]" "Sam:" "Going somewhere?" "Out for a... beer." "Great, we got beer." "Have a seat." "Great." "[sighs]" "You know, you pitch this whole dewy-eyed romance thing... but the truth is, I'm on lock-down, aren't I?" "[sighs]" "Adam..." "[clears throat] you may not believe it, but dad was trying to protect you... keeping you from all this." "Yeah, well, I guess the monster that ate me didn't get that memo." "You remember that?" "Oh, yeah." "Still, trust me." "The one thing worse than seeing dad once a year... was seeing him all year." "Do you know how full of crap you are?" " What?" " Really." "You see, it was me and it was my mom, that's it." "She worked the graveyard shift at the hospital." "I cooked my own dinners, I put myself to bed." "So, you can say whatever you want about our dad, but the truth is, I would have taken anything." "All right?" "[exhales sharply]" "Look, if we had known we had a brother..." "Well, you didn't, so..." "We would have found you." "Look, I can't change the past." "I wish I could." "But from here on out..." "What... we gonna hop in the family truckster?" "Pop on down to Wally world?" "[scoffs]" "Tell you one thing... attitude like that, you'd fit right in around here." "Well, Cass, not for nothing... but the last person who looked at me like that..." "I got laid." "Uh, why don't you, uh, go keep an eye on Adam?" "Is this really necessary?" "Well [chuckles] I mean, we got our hands full, Dean... a houseful of flight risks." "I'm not letting him do it." " Who, Adam?" " No, I'm..." "I'm not, either." "No, you're not getting me." "Oh, no, no, I "get" you perfectly." "But I'm not letting you do it either." "That kid's not taking a bullet for me." " Dean..." " I'm serious." "I mean, think about how many people we've gotten killed, Sam." "Mom, dad..." "Jess, Jo, Ellen... should I keep going?" "It's not like we pulled the trigger." "We might as well have." "I'm tired, man." "I'm tired of fighting who I'm supposed to be." "Well, do you think maybe you could take a half a second and stop trying to sacrifice yourself for a change?" "Maybe we could actually stick together?" "I don't think so." "Why not?" "Dean, seriously." "Tell me..." "I-I want to know." "I just..." "I-I don't believe." "In what?" "In you." "I mean, I don't..." "I don't know whether it's gonna be demon blood or some other demon chick or what, but..." "I do know they're gonna find a way to turn you." "So, you're saying I'm not strong enough." "You're angry... you're self-righteous." "Lucifer's gonna wear you to the prom, man." "It's just a matter of time." "Don't say that to me... not you... of all people." "I don't want to... but it's the truth." "And when Satan takes you over, there's got to be somebody there to fight him, and it ain't gonna be that kid." "[chuckles]" "So, it's got to be me." "[door creaks open] [door slams, locks]" "How's he doing?" "[exhales sharply]" "How you doing?" "[sighs]" "[glass shatters]" "Dean?" "Dean?" "Cass." "Where's Cass?" "Blown to Oz." "Look, I'll get Dean." "He couldn't have gone too far." " Just watch Adam." " How?" "You may have noticed, he's got a slight height advantage." "Then cuff him to your chair." "I don't know." "Just watch him." "[door opens] [door closes]" "Your mom's not coming, you know." "[sighs]" "This is the park where your mom took you on her day off, right?" "She's not coming..." "not yet." "But she will... soon." "You're Zachariah, right?" "I am." "You weren't where you were supposed to be, kid." "Yeah, I know." "Can't quite zero in on you, either." "So, let me take a wild guess... you're with Sam and Dean?" "Yeah." "Didn't we tell you about them?" "So, you know you can't trust them, right?" "You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other, right?" "[sighing] I don't know." "They said a few things about you." "Really?" "Trust me, kid." "When the heat gets hot, they're not gonna give a flying crap about you." "Hell, they'd rather save each other's sweet bacon than save the planet." "They're not your family." "Understand?" "Now... you want to see your mom again or not?" "The end is nigh!" "The apocalypse is upon us!" "The angels talk to me, and they asked me to talk to you!" " The apocalypse..." " Hey!" "I'm Dean Winchester." "Do you know who I am?" "Dear God" "I'll take that as a yes." "Listen, I need you to pray to your angel buddies and let them know that I'm here." "Our father, who art in heaven." "Hallowed be thy name." "Castiel:" "You pray too loud." "[grunts]" "What, are you crazy?" "!" "I rebelled for this?" "!" "[both grunting]" "So that you could surrender to them?" "Cass!" "Please!" "I gave everything for you." "And this is what you give to me." "[coughing]" "Do it." "Just do it!" "[spluttering]" "Bobby, what do you mean, "Adam is gone"?" "Should I say it in Spanish?" "He's gone how?" "What the hell, Bobby?" "!" "Watch your tone, boy" "He was right in front of me, and he disappeared into thin air." "Because the angels took him." "What the hell happened to him?" "Me." "What do you mean, the angels took Adam?" "You branded his ribs, didn't you?" "Yes." "Adam must have tipped them." " How?" " I don't know." "Maybe in a dream." "Well, where would they have taken him?" "I see you and your brother share the same refined palate." "Ah." "So, uh... we ready?" "For what?" "What do you mean, for what?" "For Michael." "Oh." "Right... about that." "Look, this is never easy, but I'm afraid... we've had to terminate your position at this time." "Excuse me?" "Hey, don't get me wrong, you've been a hell of a sport, really... good stuff." "But the thing is, you're not so much the "chosen one" as you are... a clammy scrap of bait." "No, but what about the stuff that you said?" "I'm supposed to fight the devil." "Mm, not so much." "Hey, if it's any consolation, you happen to be the illegitimate half brother of the guy we do care about." "That's not bad, is it?" "So, you lied... about everything." "We didn't lie." "We just avoided certain truths to manipulate you." "Oh, you son of a bitch." "Hey, how do you think I feel?" "I'm the one that's got to put up with that dumb, slack-jawed look on your face." "Kid, we didn't have a choice." "The Winchesters got one blind spot, and it's family." "See, Sam and Dean, they're gonna put aside their differences... and they're gonna come get you- and that is gonna put Dean right... here." "Right where I need him." "This is the night, kid!" "Our night." "Michael's seen it." "The tumblers finally click into place and it's all because of you." "And me." "But who's keeping score?" "Yeah, I'm not gonna let you do this." "Cool your jets, Corky." "Sit down." "We're doing it together." "Plus, you still get your severance." "You still get to see your mom, okay?" "Why should I believe you?" "You know what?" "I keep hearing this." "But what I want to be hearing is this... [vomits] Yeah." "[vomiting]" "That's better." "Sam:" "How you feeling?" "[groans]" "Word to the wise... don't piss off the nerd angels." "So, how's it going?" "Adam's gone." "The angels have him." "Where?" "The room where they took you." "You sure?" "Cass did a recon." "And?" "And the place is crawling with mooks... pretty much a no-shot-in-hell, hail-Mary kind of thing." "Ah, so the usual." "What are you gonna do?" "For starters..." "I'm bringing you with." "Excuse me?" "There are too many of them." "We can't do it alone, and, uh, you're pretty much the only game in town." "Isn't that a bad idea?" "Cass and Bobby think so." "I'm not so sure." "Well, they're right." "Because either it's a trap to get me there, to make me say yes... or it's not a trap and I'm gonna say yes anyway." "And I will." "I'll do it... fair warning." "No, you won't." "When push shoves, you'll make the right call." "You know, if tables were turned..." "I'd let you rot in here." "Hell, I have let you rot in here." "[scoffs] [inhales sharply]" "Yeah, well..." "I guess I'm not that smart." "I-I don't get it..." "Sam, why are you doing this?" "Because... you're still my big brother." "Where the hell are we?" "Van Nuys, California." "Where's the beautiful room?" "In there." "The beautiful room is in an abandoned muffler factory in van Nuys, California?" "Where'd you think it was?" "I-I don't know..." "Jupiter?" "A blade of grass..." "not van Nuys." "Tell me again why you don't just grab Adam and shazam the hell out of there?" "Because there are at least five angels in there." " So?" "You're fast." " They're faster." "I'll clear them out." "You two grab the boy." "This is our only chance." "Whoa, whoa, wait." "You're gonna take on five angels?" "Yes." "Isn't that suicide?" "Maybe it is." "But then I won't have to watch you fail." "I'm sorry, Dean." "I don't have the same faith in you that Sam does." "What the hell are you gonna do with that?" "[water dripping]" "[grunts] [groaning]" "[panting]" "What are you waiting for?" "Come on." "Adam, hey." "Hey." "You came for me." "You're family." "Dean, it's a trap." "I figured." "Dean, please." "Did you really think it would be that easy?" "Did you?" "Sam!" "You know what I've learned from this experience, Dean?" "Patience." "Adam?" "Let him go, you son of a bitch." "I mean, I thought I was downsized for sure, and for us, a firing..." "pretty damn literal." "[chuckles]" "But I should have trusted the boss man." "It's all playing out like he said..." "You, me... your hemorrhaging brothers." "[vomiting]" "You're finally ready, right?" "You see things our way." "You know there's no other choice." "There's never been a choice." "Stop it." "Stop it right now!" "In exchange for what?" "Damn it, Zachariah." "[gagging]" "Stop it, please." "[panting]" "I'll do it." "I'm sorry, what was that?" "Okay, yes." "The answer is yes." "Dean!" "Do you hear me?" "[voice breaking] Call Michael down, you bastard!" "[panting]" "How do I know you're not lying?" "Do I look like I'm lying?" "[rumbling]" "He's coming." "Of course, I have a few conditions." "What?" "A few people whose safety you have to guarantee before I say yes." "Sure, fine." "Make a list." "But most of all..." "Michael can't have me until he disintegrates you." "What did you say?" "I said... before Michael gets one piece of this sweet ass... he has to turn you into a piece of charcoal." "[chuckles nervously]" "You really think Michael's gonna go for that?" "Who's more important to him now?" "You... or me?" "You listen to me." "You are nothing but a maggot inside a worm's ass." "Do you know who I am... after I deliver you to Michael?" "Expendable." "[chuckles] Michael's not gonna kill me." "Maybe not." "But I am." "[rumbling increases] [glass shattering]" " Can you walk?" " Yeah." "Okay, come on." "Come on, move it!" "No!" "Dean, help!" "Come on, help me." "[grunts] Ah." "Dean, help!" "Adam:" "Dean!" "Dean:" "Hold on." "We'll get you out." "Just hold on." "Adam, can you hear me?" "[panting]" "Adam?" "You think Adam's okay?" "Doubt it." "Cass either." "But we'll get 'em." "So?" ""So"... what?" "I saw your eyes." "You were totally rockin' the "yes" back there." "So... what changed your mind?" "Honestly?" "The damnedest thing." "I mean, the world's ending... the walls are coming down on us... and I look over to you and all I can think about is," ""this stupid son of a bitch brought me here."" "I just didn't want to let you down." "You didn't." "You almost did... but you didn't." "[chuckles]" "I owe you an apology." "No, man." "No, you don't." "Just..." "let me say this." "[sighs]" "I don't know if it's being a big brother or what." "But... you know, to me, you've always been this snot-nosed kid that I've had to keep on the straight and narrow." "I think we both know that that's not you anymore." "I mean, hell... if you're grown-up enough to find faith in me... the least I can do is return the favor." "So, screw destiny right in the face." "I say we take the fight to them." "Do it our way." "Sounds good." "Edited by Scooby"
