ACT I

OPEN TO:

EXT. FOREST- NIGHT

Just outside of Nuremburg, Germany...
1945

OPEN TO: ESTABLISHING SHOT of a FOREST-NIGHT

The silent air is punctuated by the intermittent sounds of heavy gunfire from far away. Every so often there is a FLASH explosion illuminating the otherwise clear black sky

CUT TO: AN INJURED MAN RUNNING through the dark forest frantically looking over his shoulder

JUMP CUT: To see two NAZI SOLDIERS pursuing him

JUMP CUT: We track the Injured Man as he runs faster and faster before TRIPPING and tumbling down a steep, damp and grassy slope

TRACK him as falls and tumbles until he lands painfully, covered in bruises and nursing his stomach wound, at the bottom of the slope. ANGLE UP to see the nozzle of a rifle suddenly trained on him.

MAN (O.S.)
Who are you?

The Injured Man just looks at him.

POV. INJURED MAN

Notices the other man's uniform, the insignia and the design indicate that he is an American soldier, no older than 25 years old.

INJURED MAN (Translate)
Please, Help me!
(makes a fist on his chest)
Comrade

AMERICAN SOLDIER
Comrade?
(thinks)
Ally?

The Injured Man nods. From his accent the American has determined that he is a Russian soldier

RUSSIAN SOLDIER
(nodding)
Ally

The American notices his wound

AMERICAN SOLDIER
Oh god, buddy you're hurt!



He tries to help the Russian but the injured man refuses his help, instead he takes out a small, white silk pouch and forces it into the American's hands

RUSSIAN (Translate)
(weakly)
Take it. It's the first...weapon to be used in the last...great ...war

INSERT-CLOSE UP on the pouch as the wounded Russian hands it over to the American

BACK TO SCENE

As the pouch is handed over, a wisp of gentle, blue smoke leaves from the Russian’s eyes and mouth and makes its way over to the American, entering his mind

VOICE (O.S.)
Diese Weise!

For a moment the American just sits there, stunned by what has happened to him. The Russian panics and gestures for him to hide

RUSSIAN
Go...Go!

As the German soldiers get closer the American comes to his senses

AMERCIAN SOLDIER
Don't worry
(beat)
I understand what must be done

They each give a nod of acknowledgement. The American quickly leaves. Two German soldiers emerge from the trees, staring at the wounded Russian

GERMAN SOLDIER #1 (Translate)
Search him

The second soldier kneels down and begins to rifle through the Russian's pockets

GERMAN SOLDIER #1
The fuhrer is most anxious to get back what you stole

INSERT-CLOSE UP of the second soldier as he pulls out a black velvet pouch from the Russian's pocket

BACK TO SCENE

GERMAN SOLDIER #2
(looking inside the pouch)
We have it!

CUT TO: POV. AMERICAN SOLDIER

Watching from the bushes as the two soldiers stand next to each other and begin laughing at the wounded Russian. One of the German's pulls out a Luger handgun and points it at the Russian's head

BACK TO SCENE

CLOSE UP: The face of the American soldier, as he watches with a tear in his eye as BANG...BANG two gunshots fill the air

POV. AMERICAN SOLDIER

We see the German soldier with the gun kick the lifeless body over before he and his accomplice walk back through the trees and out of sight.

BACK TO SCENE

CLOSE UP: on the face of the American soldier. He lowers his head in mourning

RUSSIAN SOLDIER (V.O.) (Translate)
The first weapon to be used in the last great war

The American opens his eyes and looks at the pouch. CLOSE UP on his eyes, youthful and determined. We fade to the eyes of an old man, weathered and all knowing. He is in his late seventies, though he looks much younger. PULL BACK TO REVEAL that he is riding in the back-seat of a car, staring out the window. We begin to hear the classic rock song "Turn the Page" by Metallica over the radio.

Present Day

MAN (O.S.)
So where you heading?

PULL BACK FURTHER TO REVEAL DEAN and SAM WINCHESTER sitting in the front seats of the Impala, with Dean waiting for an answer.

OLD MAN
Oh, nowhere special

POV. DEAN

Dean glances towards the Old Man, through the rear-view mirror.

OLD MAN
Just felt like takin' a journey
(smiles)
while I've still got some life in my bones

BACK TO SCENE

SAM
So are you visiting someone?

OLD MAN
Yeah
(smiles wearily)
but I doubt he'll be glad to see me

The Old Man returns his gaze to the window

Dean and Sam just look at each other. All three silent for a beat until

OLD MAN
Say
(looking at the boys)
How would you two like to hear a story?



CLOSE UP on the Old Man with a mischievous grin on his face before we

CUT TO: BLACK

THE ETERNAL

OPEN TO: EXT. ROAD-DAY

It's a rather miserable morning, with thunder in the air and rain beating down heavily. The Impala quickly drives along the road and out of shot

OLD MAN (V.O.)
It began in Golgotha.

INT. IMPALA

OLD MAN (CON'T)
On the place of the skull, where Christ was crucified on the cross

Dean rolls his eyes

DEAN
(sarcastic)
Great! Bible stories. I'm sure the next few hours will just fly by

OLD MAN
(laughs)
You must be the belligerent one then

Sam sits in the passenger seat smirking

SAM
Sorry Dean, but he's got you there

DEAN
Sam, what did I say about “shotgun”?
(to the Old Man)
You were saying?

OLD MAN
Bible stories
(beat)
Of course you have to remember that the best Bible stories are the ones they don't tell you in Sunday School

Dean and Sam suddenly devlop a real interest in what the Old Man is about to tell them

OLD MAN
Like I said, it began in Golgotha

FLASH CUT:

EXT. GOLGOTHA (31 AD.)

WHIP!!! CLOSE UP on a man's face, bloody, bruised up, this is JESUS. WHIP! Each time he flinches, but doesn't give in.

FLASH CUT:



CLOSE UP as Jesus is nailed to the cross. We want to look away. But, we can't. The emotion holds us.... CLOSE UP on Jesus' face, never giving in no matter how much it hurts.

FADE TO:

A desolate place. We PAN ACROSS this bleak hillside to see atop one of the higher land masses three CROSSES, silhouetted against the sky. On each one is the lifeless body of a man, if not dead then certainly close to it.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
After Christ had been crucified on the cross, the Jewish priests asked Pilate to have the bodies be removed before the holy Sabbath

CUT TO LONG SHOT OF The bodies on crosses as two soldiers move into view

OLD MAN (V.O.)
The task was given to two Roman soldiers

We see two Roman soldiers walk up in to view, making their way to the crosses

OLD MAN (V.O.)
Death from crucifixion could take days, so the soldiers broke the legs of the two theives so that they would perish sooner.

JUMP CUT: CLOSE UP of the first thief's legs as CRACK they are broken

JUMP CUT: CLOSE UP on the second thief's legs legs as CRACK they too were broken

OLD MAN (V.O.)
However when it came to the body of Christ, one of the soldiers saw that he had already died and drove his spear into the dead body to prove it

JUMP CUT: CLOSE UP on the body of Jesus Christ as a spear is DRIVEN into his side.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
This was seen by many as a self-fulfilling prophecy-

FLASH CUT:

INT. IMPALA

SAM
(qouting the Bible)
A bone of him shall not be broken...they shall look on him whom they pierced...

DEAN
(looking at Sam)
You are such a geek. You know that?

OLD MAN
Now here's where things get a little hazy. The soldier who stabbed Christ was named Gaius Longinus and something happpened to him out there on Golgotha that would change his life forever.

FLASH CUT

EXT. GOLGOTHA

Longinus PULLS the spear out of the wound. TRACK as blood pours down from the open wound and onto the cross.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
It is said that when Longinus removed the spear, the blood and water gushed out...

JUMP CUT:

ANGLE DOWN towards Longinus as he stares up towards the wound. Blood and water spill down onto his face.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
some of it spraying his eyes
(beat)
Now Longinus had poor eyesight, in fact, it had been failing for some time, but after this incident his eyesight suddenly healed...

POV. LONGINUS

Somewhat blurry vision of Jesus on the cross, gradually the vision becomes clearer and clearer. As we look up towards Jesus the sun begins to rise.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
And he could see perfectly for the first time in a long time

We see Longinus looking amazed as his vision is restored there and then...

FLASH CUT: INT. IMPALA



DEAN
Is there a point to this story?

SAM
Dean!

The Old Man simply sits back and laughs

OLD MAN
Actually Dean, there is a point to this story
(beat)
literally

CLOSE UP on the Old Man's face

OLD MAN
Have you two ever heard of the Spear of Destiny?

DEAN
Spear of what?

SAM
(to the Old Man)
You mean the Lance of Longinus?

OLD MAN
It has many names, but they all refer to the lance that Longinus used to pierce the side of Christ

SAM
But...it doesn't really exist does it? I mean, it was lost over time and there are numerous relics scatterd around the world that are believed to be the true spear, right?

OLD MAN
That's right
(beat)
But the one true spear does exist

CLOSE UP On the Old Man as he looks at the pouch

OLD MAN
And legend of its journey is nothing short of astounding

FADE TO:

EXT. PATRAS, ACHAEAN PREFECTURE (ANCIENT GREECE)

ANGLE DOWN towards a crowded street.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
After Longinus was cured by Christ’s blood, he immediately sought out the remaining Apostles to learn from them. Eventually, Longinus told Andrew of what had happened to him and Andrew took Longinus's spear with him to Patras, while Longinus went to live as a monk before he was executed for being a Christian.

The camera soars down until we are level with the street. We see the crowd hurrying past to get to the main square.

CUT TO: INT. ROOM

We see a man (middle-aged, gaunt with a long grey beard and hair to match) sitting at a desk. As he looks out of his window he sees the crowds assembling the large wooden cross out in the town square.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
Eventually Longinus told Andrew of what had happened to him...

CUT TO:

EXT. PETREAS

Angle up to see St Andrew watching from his window

OLD MAN (V.O.)
And Andrew took Longinus' spear with him to Petrea.

INT. ROOM

CLOSE UP on Andrew glancing over at the Spear of Destiny in the corner of the room...

FLASH CUT:

OLD MAN (V.O.)
While longinus went to live a monk before he was executed for being a Christian

INT. ROOM

CLOSE UP on the door...KNOCK KNOCK

Andrew turns around as the door is opened. A soldier informs him that it is time to go. As Andrew gets up to leave he looks back to the spear of destiny.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
Unfortunately Andrew the Apostle was himself crucified and died a Martyr

ZOOM IN to see the Spear propped up in the corner of the Room

FLASH CUT: INT. IMPALA

DEAN
Sorry, sorry but...is there anybody in this story who doesn't end up stapled to two large planks of wood?

SAM
(annoyed)
Dean!?

DEAN
Alright, alright
(beat)
So you were saying Longitude gave the spear to Andrew who went and got himself crucified

SAM
(breathes out, annoyed)
Longinus

DEAN
That's what I said
(looks guilty)
Longinus

OLD MAN
(laughs)
Oh you guys are too much. You ever considered stand-up?

DEAN
(serious)
You ever considered getting out and wa-

Sam smacks Dean on the arm

DEAN
Ouch!

SAM
(to the Old Man)
Please, continue

OLD MAN
Well after the death of Andrew, all of his posessions were sold to the Romans,
(beat)
Including the spear

The camera pans to the side as we gradually

FADE TO: BATTLEFIELD

We see soldiers fighting and dying, men covered in blood being struck down. PAN ACROSS the ground, littered with dead bodies.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
It was then passed down from Emperor to Emperor. From CONSTANTINE to THEODORIC

ANGLE UP to see in the distance a man on a horse fighting bravely. This is Emperor CHARLEMAGNE. SLOW MOTION SHOT of the horse rising into the air, Charlemagne raises his sword.

OLD MAN (V.O.) (CON'T)
From MARTEL to Charlemagne

CLOSE UP: In one hand Charlemagne is holding a sword and attacking his foes who are struck down, in the other hand we see Charlemagne is holding aloft the head of the spear.



All around him Charlemagne's enemies are dropping like flies, it's as though Charlemagne is somehow invincible.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
Charlemagne carried that spearhead into every battle and walked out of each one victorious. He would walk out of his last battle too
(beat)
but not as a winner

We see Charlemagne's horse lose its footing and Charlemagne himself loses his balance and drops the spearhead

INSERT: CLOSE UP of the spearhead lying on the muddy floor

Hold on a shot of the spearhead as all the noise of battle suddenly fades out. A hand reaches into frame to pick up the spearhead.

BACK TO SCENE

There is a MAN standing alone on the battlefield staring intently at the spearhead

POV. MAN

Looking at the spearhead still glistening through the dirt that covers it

OLD MAN (V.O.)
After Charlemagne dropped the spearhead he retreated knowing that the battle was now lost.
(beat)
But the spearhead fell into the hands of the Eternal

FLASH CUT: INT. IMPALA

SAM
The Eternal? Who's that?

OLD MAN
Not “who”
(beat)
“What”

DEAN
You mean it's not human?

OLD MAN
No
(beat)
It's knowledge

SAM
Knowledge!? What kind of knowledge?

OLD MAN
A knowledge that grows over time, that learns, that passes from one host to another

FLASH CUT: EXT. BATTLEFIELD

OLD MAN (V.O.)
A guardian, a watcher

We PAN UP from the man's feet all the way to his face where we see the same blue smoke swirl around his head before entering through his eyes and mouth

OLD MAN (V.O.)
A prophet

Hold on a close up of this man for a beat until

CUT TO: BLACK

[Oceane]

Captivating start, looking forward for part 2

[Shaylen]

Wow...this is the frist Multus Tempestas i have read and now you have made me want to go back and read the others..cant wait for the next chapter.

[Dean5339]

Great to always hear that we added another MT fan.

Since this is the midseason, you'll have plenty of time to catch up.

[Dean5339]

ACT II

EXT. OCEAN-NIGHT

We open to a shot of a large cargo ship being tossed on the violent waves of the Ocean. A thunderstorm rages in the dark sky.



EXT. SHIP, MAIN DECK

We PAN DOWN to the pilothouse, where we see a MAN standing inside, steering the wheel and piloting the ship on the jagged water.

INT. PILOTHOUSE

The man steering the wheel is old and his hair and beard are greying. This is CAPTAIN MELLOR.

As we CLOSE UP on his weathered face, watching the stormy waters, we see the blurred image of a person come into frame right behind him.

Mellor looks down to check the navigation controls.

MELLOR
Is everything secure?

We ANGLE UP from the floor to see Mellor with his back to us, standing in the background as we FOCUS IN on a knife, blood dripping from it's blade, in the foreground.

Slowly the man (ABEL CARTEZ, mid-thirties, Hispanic) walks towards the captain, blade in hand. He gets right up behind him.

POV. MELLOR

Looking out through the glass. We see the waves CRASHING on the sea, as the slight reflection of the man with a knife appears within the waves

BACK TO SCENE

Mellor turns around to face Cartez, who we see has the hollow black eyes of a man possessed by a demon. Mellor looks at him then-

POV. MELLOR

Looks down at the bloody knife.

BACK TO SCENE

MELLOR
(beat)
I'll take that as a “Yes” then.

CARTEZ
(nods)
Everything is secure.

MELLOR
(looking back to the sea)
Good.
(beat)
Is he still locked up?

CARTEZ
Yes.

MELLOR
Very well. Take the wheel.

Cartez nods.

CLOSE UP on Mellor's face as the demonic black smoke SPEWS from his mouth and TRACK it as it sinks down through the floorboards.

Mellor slouches forward, weak and stunned by what has just happened.

MELLOR
(gasping)
Oh...God...what...what just happened to me?

As Mellor turns around he-

POV. MELLOR

Is greeted with a knife SLASH to the throat by Cartez.

JUMP CUT:

INT. SHIP, LOWER DECKS

We TRACK DOWN a long metal hallway, the sounds of a man SCREAMING can be heard from far in the distance. As we go we see two bloodied bodies lying on the floor, their throats slit.

As we move further down the hallway the SCREAMING gets louder, and louder until we are right outside the main Cargo Hold.

We can hear POUNDING coming from the other side of the door, whoever is in there, they desperately want to be let out.

INT. SHIP, CARGO HOLD

We see ALEX ROSS, a young, athletic, college student BANGING on the cargo hold door, pleading to be let out.

ALEX
(Shouting)
Help! Somebody help me! Let me out of here!

He then leans against the door knowing it's hopeless. He begins to cry.

ALEX
(sobbing)
Please.

Over Alex's shoulder we see the black smoke converge behind him, taking on an unidentifiable shape.

Alex sobs and then senses someone (or rather something) is in the room with him.

CLOSE UP on Alex as he turns around, his eyes widen with fear.

ALEX
Oh Christ! Please, not again.
(screams)
No!!!

POV. ALEX

The black smoke RUSHES towards him, filling the screen with darkness.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. ROAD



PULL BACK TO REVEAL the darkness has become the paint job of Dean's Black Impala, as it speeds down the back road.

INT. IMPALA

OLD MAN
Mind if I smoke?

DEAN
Go ahead, just open the window would you?

The Old Man does so, winds down the window and takes out a pack of cigarettes.

OLD MAN
(offering the packet)
Anybody?

SAM
No, no thanks.

DEAN
(shakes head)
Nah, I'm good.

The Old Man lights a cigarette, then turns to look at the Winchesters.

OLD MAN
So tell me boys, why do you hunt?

Dean and Sam are a bit startled by the question.

DEAN
Excuse me?

SAM
(playing dumb)
Hunt? What do you mean, “hunt”?

OLD MAN
Do I look like I was born yesterday son?

SAM
No, but-

OLD MAN
You hunt demons, ghosts, creatures, shadows?

DEAN
And how the hell did you figure that one out?

OLD MAN
(looking around)
Oh come on. The traces of rock salt on the back seat, the rosary beads lying on the floor, and I'm supposed to believe that those aren't weapons clattering around back there in the trunk?

DEAN
No that's....
(looks at Sam)
fishing....equipment..

OLD MAN
Relax kid. I'm not going to tattle to Johnny Lawman, but I just want to know why a couple of guys your age are out hunting nightmares when you should be enjoying your lives.
(beat)
Something happened didn't it, personal tragedy?

DEAN
You could say that.

OLD MAN
I'm still waiting for an answer.
(beat)
Simple question really.

DEAN
(struggling for words)
Well, I...do it because...people need help.
(beat)
They need to be protected from what's really out there in the dark

OLD MAN
(unconvinced)
Is that all there is to it?

DEAN
(defensive)
Yeah...yeah.

POV. OLD MAN

Seeing Dean's eyes in the rear-view mirror looking at him, showing him, in a way, the truth. Dean shakes his head, knowing that he's fooling no one.

BACK TO SCENE

DEAN
No...there's more to it. Part if it boils down to duty and responsibility but mostly because...
(beat)
it gives my life meaning.

The Old Man smiles, he knows that this is the truth.

OLD MAN
And sometimes you worry that one day there'll be nothing left to hunt, and on that day you will have served your purpose in this life?



DEAN
(sighs)
Yeah.

Sam sits there totally shocked by Dean's frank confession.

SAM
Dean I.....I never knew!

DEAN
Maybe because I never said anything.
(beat)
Anyway, can we get back to the story? It suddenly sounds a lot more appealing to me.

The Old Man laughs as he takes one last drag on his cigarette, then flicks it out of the open window.

OLD MAN
In a minute boy. Patience is a virtue. Sam is about to tell me his reasons, aren't you Sam?

SAM
You want to know why I'm doing this?

The Old Man nods.

SAM
(frankly)
Revenge.

OLD MAN
(understanding)
You lost someone close to you, didn't you?

SAM
(looking out the window)
Yeah.

OLD MAN
and it was recent, wasn't it?

Sam nods.

OLD MAN
And that's what drove you back into this life isn't it, vengeance?

Sam says nothing.

OLD MAN
I think I'm beginning to understand. Dean embraces this life while you were dragged back into it.
(beat)
But I'm guessing neither one of you chose this life did you?

DEAN
Is there a point to all this Dr. Ruth?

OLD MAN
Not at all. Sometimes a little evaluation of your life so far is helpful, you know? It helps you sort out your priorities, gives you a bit of perspective.

DEAN
Yeah well that's good and all but I thought you were telling us a story?

The Old Man stares at Dean for a beat.

OLD MAN
A hero with a distinct lack of virtues.

DEAN
What?

OLD MAN
Never mind.

Dean just shrugs.

OLD MAN
Okay then. I take it you've heard of the Knights Templar?

SAM
The order of soldiers formed during the first Crusade?

OLD MAN
(nods)
The very same.

FLASH CUT:

EXT. JERUSALEM (Circa 1118 A.D.)

PAN ACROSS a long line of ancient knights all dressed in the same chain mail ringlets, their armour covered by a white habit, bearing a red cross, as they prepare to advance on their enemy.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
The knights Templar were an army to be reckoned with. When it came to battle-

JUMP CUT: TRACK the line of knights as they CHARGE at their foes, swords in hand, BELLOWING war cries that fill the dark air.

OLD MAN (V.O.) (CON'T)
they were the first to attack-

JUMP CUT:

POV. ENEMY SOLDIER

As a huge sword comes SWINGING into view about to take the guy's head clean off with one swift SLICE!

OLD MAN (V.O.) (CON'T)
and the last to retreat.

ANGLE DOWN to see the Templars HACKING their way through the battle, making light work of their enemy. We PAN UP to the dark sky and

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. IMPALA

DEAN
(grinning)
All right. First to attack, last to retreat. Sounds like my kinda people.

OLD MAN
As well as being knights many of the Templars were also devout monks, who became celibate once they were accepted into the fold.

SAM
(stifles a laugh)
I, uh...wouldn't fill out that application for membership just yet Dean.

Dean shoots Sam a real “Ha ha very funny” kind of look.

OLD MAN
(solemn)
You wouldn't get in anyway.
(beat)
The Templars were destroyed in 1307.

DEAN
By what? Must have been something real powerful to topple an army like that.

OLD MAN
It was.
(beat)
And it wasn't human either.

Dean and Sam exchange a glance.

SAM
But if I know my history, the Templars were destroyed in a power struggle with the Pope and the ruling monarchs of the time. What does this have to do with the spearhead and the supernatural?

[img]

OLD MAN
History is a funny thing. Unless you were there to witness it firsthand, you only have the opinions of a few people who bothered to keep a journal through the ages. Such books and accounts can never give you the whole story.

The Old Man looks at Sam

OLD MAN
As for the spearhead, well, through a combination of secrecy and sheer blind luck, the spearhead was kept safe, constantly moving around the land. Eventually it was buried under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the future headquarters of the knights Templar.

DEAN
But you said the Templars were destroyed?

OLD MAN
They were.
(beat)
They were destroyed because they were an obstacle to a man who craved the power of the Templars more than anything in the world. His name was Philip The Fair.
(beat)
Which brings us to the supernatural aspect.

FLASH CUT:

INT. ROYAL PALACE, FRANCE (circa 1307)

We MOVE down a long hallway into a-

INT. THRONE ROOM

Large room, adorned with Gothic trappings and designs. We MOVE up to the centre of the room where we see a young man, handsome, yet carrying an air of malevolence about him.

OLD MAN (V.O.) (CON'T)
Philip the Fair or to give him his full title: King Philip IV of France.
(beat)
The man who almost single-handedly wiped out the Templars.

Hold on a close up of Philip's face for a beat.

MAN (O.S.) (translate)
Sire! Sire!

Philip looks up at the man, a small, meek-looking individual who acts as the Palace Jailer.

PHILIP (translate)
What is it?

JAILER
Sire! The prisoner! He asked to speak with you!

Philip smiles.



PHILIP
Has he?

INT. PALACE DUNGEON

Philip walks through the dank cavernous corridor with the Jailer at his side, followed by two Royal guards.

JAILER
He has withstood all hardships we have put to him, and yet, he speaks only of God and refuses all charges of heresy.

PHILIP
Did you ask him about the relic?

JAILOR
I did. That's when he demanded to speak with you in person Sire.

The Jailer hobbles on ahead and unlocks a large wooden door. Philip stops for a moment

PHILIP
(stern)
I want to speak with him alone.

JAILER
(shocked)
Majesty! I cannot allow that.

Philip grabs the Jailer by his throat and lifts him clear off the ground!

PHILIP
Let me be clear. As the ruling Monarch I decide what is to be allowed and I alone. You, on the other hand, are nothing but a peasant that locks and unlocks doors in this dank prison.

Philip brings the Jailer's face only inches from his own.

PHILIP
Never, ever, forget your place here.

JAILER
(struggling for breath)
S-Sire I can...not breathe!

Philip simply throws the man hard against the cavernous wall. We watch as he slumps to the floor, his head covered in blood.

Philip turns to address the two guards standing to attention (and visibly afraid).

PHILIP
I will speak to the prisoner alone.
(looking at the Jailer)
Take him away.

The guards nod and begin to drag the Jailer's body away.

CLOSE UP on Philip grinning as he enters the room.

INT. TORTURE ROOM

Philip stares across the darkness to see a man, battered and beaten, his body covered with horrific cuts and bruises, tied to a large wooden rack.

PHILIP
You wanted to speak with me? I hope you have good news for me.
(beat)
For your sake.

The man on the rack tries to laugh but doing so only causes him to convulse and cough up blood.

PHILIP
(sympathetic)
You're in pain. I can feel it from over here, but tell me what I want to know and I can make that pain vanish forever, in an instant.

The man looks at Philip, disgusted, and turns away.

Philip begins to walk over to the man.

POV. PHILIP

Looking at the man's scarred and bloodied body.

PHILIP
(shakes his head)
Such cruelty, and yet, in this day and age it seems so rampant. Everywhere you go there's one faction of humanity waging a war, Holy or otherwise, on another. So much pain, so much suffering, so much death.
(beat)
Makes me glad to be alive.

Philip grins a wicked grin at his prisoner, before leaning in close to whisper in his ear.

PHILIP
You will tell me where the relic is and you will do so with haste.

He pulls back slightly to meet the man's gaze with his own eyes.

PHILIP (CON'T)
Because I promise you, all that you have endured up to this point will be as nothing compared to what I can do to you. And I can do so many things, hurt you in ways the most malicious minds of your race have yet to dream up.

The man looks at Philip both defiant and afraid.

MAN
Non...timebo...mala!

Philip smiles.

PHILIP
Oh I assure you, once I'm finished with you, not only will you fear evil but you will bow to it.

Philip reaches across to the rack's wooden lever.

PHILIP
Now tell me-

He pulls the lever sharply, the man SCREAMS in agony.

PHILIP (CON'T)
where is the relic?

Close up on Philip's eyes, burning bright yellow; the eyes of the demon! As the sounds of the man's SCREAMS fill the air.

MAN (O.S.)
(screaming)
Non timebo mala! Non timebo mala!

Slowly we FADE TO the eyes of Alex Ross, standing on the deck of the boat in the middle of a stormy ocean.

PRESENT DAY

Cartez stands behind him.

ALEX
How far are we from Maine?

CARTEZ
A few hours.

ALEX
(smiles)
There's no rush.
(beat)
Time is a luxury our side can afford.

CARTEZ
I take it things went well at the Vatican?

Alex grins.

ALEX
As expected.
(beat)
We're on the threshold, standing at the edge of a new age.
(beat)
A true age of darkness.

POV. ALEX

Watching the waves CRASH against the stormy backdrop.

BACK TO SCENE

CARTEZ
Sir, there's something I've been meaning to ask you, it's about your “vessel”.

ALEX
This body?

CARTEZ
You favour it pretty exclusively, why?

ALEX
Ah. You haven't possessed many humans in your time have you?

Cartez shakes head.



ALEX
You will learn that some bodies fit so perfectly that they can actually augment your powers instead of restricting them.

POV. ALEX

Looking down at his hands.

BACK TO SCENE

ALEX
This is one such body. It amplifies my powers without diminishing my energy. In my lifetime I have only encountered one other like it, and that was during the 1300s.
(smiles)
I used that “vessel” to wipe out the great Knights Templar.

Alex smiles at Cartez.

ALEX
When you grow older you will learn to appreciate bodies like this, they're quite hard to find.

CARTEZ
If the body fits...

ALEX
(smiling)
Exactly.

Hold on a close up of Alex's glowing yellow eyes, reflecting the dark tempest of the sea.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
His real name is Azazel.
(beat)
and he's one bad son of a bitch!

ACT III

FADE IN:

EXT. ROAD-NIGHT

The Impala speeds along the dark road with its headlights lighting the way ahead as “Words (Between the Lines of Ages)” by Neil Young blares out from the car stereo.

INT. IMPALA

SAM
(shocked)
The demon!



Sam turns to look at the Old Man.

SAM
You know the demon?

OLD MAN
(nods)
I know of him. Never met him myself, well, not in person anyway.

DEAN
But it's the same one, right? Yellow eyes, goes after families, in particular
(looks at Sam)
the children?

OLD MAN
That's his MO.

DEAN
But...why?
(beat)
What can you tell us about him?

The Old Man leans back and sighs.

OLD MAN
Not much. From what I've learned he was one of the most powerful demons, but, I doubt if that's still the case. Although, he was one of the first to perfect the art of human possession. As for the deal with the children.
(looks out the window)
I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are some questions I just cannot answer.

SAM
(challenging)
Can't, or won't?

The Old Man turns to Sam and matches his attitude.

OLD MAN
Would you believe, a little of both.

Sam glares at the Old Man and his seeming refusal to help.

OLD MAN
Relax kid, trust me.
(beat)
I'm on your side.

DEAN
All this time you've been telling us about this sacred spearhead, how it's had to be protected and hidden throughout the ages from demons.

OLD MAN
Not just demons, but people too.

SAM
Humans?

The Old Man nods.

DEAN
So it's dangerous?

OLD MAN
Worse. It's desirable.

DEAN
(confused)
Desirable? What do you mean?

OLD MAN
The spearhead was blessed with the blood of Christ, making it a powerful weapon. Azazel, the demon you're after, knew this, which is why he's after it.
(beat)
He doesn't desire the spear, he fears it. And he's desperate to find it before it finds him.

CUT TO:

EXT. OCEAN-NIGHT

We close up on a port hole window where we see Alex Ross standing addressing a group of people

OLD MAN (V.O.)
He's stalling for time and his peers are becoming impatient at his unwillingness to follow destiny.

SAM (V.O.)
He has enemies on both sides?

INT. SHIP, CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

DEAN (V.O.)
(sarcastic)
Must be nice to be so popular.

Alex is standing in front of a group of about nine people, all with black eyes, all listening intently to what he has to say.

ALEX
My children, my loyal followers. You who have stayed true to me and my cause when others turned against me, I thank you. You will all be pleased to know that my visit went entirely as planned.

The followers CHEER at this news, Cartez simply smiles.

ALEX (CON'T)
Soon we will dominate this world and the humans who we were told to worship will bow down to us like the lowly beings that they are.

The followers CHEER again this time louder.

ALEX
(beat)
But, there are those who would see me perish to further their own ends, those who cling to the old ways so stringently that they cannot see beyond ancient prophecy.
(Shouting)
To those I say -- wake up! The world is changing and we, we chosen faithful few will be the ones to lead it, to usher in the new age of dominance.

We PAN ACROSS the crowd of possessed followers looking at Alex in awe as we CUT BACK to ALEX his eyes now burning with yellow fire



ALEX
This is the beginning of a new era and I alone will lead you into it as your father, as your savior, you will follow me without question or defiance.
(beat)
Are you with me?

The crowd screams their approval.

We close up on Alex smiling at his followers.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. IMPALA

DEAN
Man, who would have thought demons didn't get on with each other?

OLD MAN
Civil wars aren't exclusive to the human race alone. Demons have their own factions and their own agendas. Azazel believes it's his right to rule the world, in particular mankind, which he sees as his creation, not God's

DEAN
Geez, talk about egotistical.

OLD MAN
(shakes his head)
If you only knew the whole truth Dean, it wouldn't seem quite so far fetched.

Dean looks puzzled then gazes back to the road ahead

SAM
What did you mean before when you said the spearhead was too desirable to humans?

OLD MAN
It's hard to explain but, the spearhead's legend grew over time and people eventually believed that it could grant rulership of the world to whoever owned it. Which is partially true.

SAM
How partially?

OLD MAN
Well...think what happens if you gave a naughty child a loaded gun, what would he do with it?

DEAN
Shoot people?

OLD MAN
Exactly. The spearhead is the same. It gives it's owner the means to rule and if that owner is evil, then a reign of evil is likely to be imminent.

Sam laughs and shakes his head, realizing where the Old Man is going.

OLD MAN
As an example: the last man to own the spear was-

SAM
Hitler.

The Old Man just smiles and nods.

OLD MAN
He was a young man when he first fell under it's spell...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. HOFBURG MUSEUM, AUSTRIA (1912)

We PAN DOWN to see a glass case standing in the center of a large deserted room. In the center of the glass cabinet, nestled on a velvet cloth sits the Spearhead.

ANGLE UP to see a YOUNG MAN standing alone, his gaze transfixed on the ancient relic. This is ADOLF HITLER, the future leader of the Nazi Party.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
Hitler spent a lot of his time just staring at the spearhead. He was convinced that it was his destiny to own the relic and rule the world, like the Emperors of the past had done so briefly.

FLASH CUT:

EXT. STREETS OF NUREMBERG-DAY (1927)



We see streets full of people cheering and soldiers saluting, as we ANGLE DOWN to see Adolf Hitler riding in a car returning the salute to applauding and cheering masses.

OLD MAN (V.O.)
After the defeat of WWI, Germany bore the brunt of the responsibility. It's people needed a leader, someone to look to, and Hitler stepped up to the plate. Before long he was made Chancellor of Germany and in 1938-

FLACH CUT:

INT. HOFBURG MUSEUM

We see a row of troops marching through the museum before stopping at the cabinet holding the spearhead.

OLD MAN (V.O.) (CON'T)
Hitler Annexed Austria and ordered the spearhead be moved from the Hofburg museum to the Nazi headquarters in Nuremberg, Germany.

JUMP CUT:

The spearhead is placed inside a large wooden box with a number of other relics.

JUMP CUT:

SLAM...as the lid of the wooden box is locked into place.

JUMP CUT:

The box is slid into the back of a waiting Jeep parked outside the museum.

We ANGLE DOWN to watch as it drives off into the night.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. IMPALA

OLD MAN
Now Hitler had the talisman and the desire to rule.

DEAN
Yeah. But even Hitler's rule came to an end so he must have lost the spearhead at some point right?

The Old Man's eyes glaze slightly.

OLD MAN
A young Russian soldier stole the spear from Hitler's Nuremberg stronghold in 1945.

SAM
By himself! Must've been a hell of a good soldier.

OLD MAN
He was. He was also the Eternal at the time.
(beat)
He wasn't entirely successful though.

DEAN
I'm guessing this mission cost him his life?

OLD MAN
(swallows hard)
...Yes.

The Old Man clutches the silk pouch tightly.

OLD MAN
The plan was to switch the spearhead with one of the many fakes, and to get out before anyone knew what had happened. But he was caught and didn’t have time to make the switch. He took the relic and ran, pursued by Nazi troops.

SAM
But they never regained the spear?

OLD MAN
They did, but it was a fake. The Russian passed the real spearhead on to the next in the line of Eternals; a young soldier whom he met by chance.
(beat)
who had to watch in helpless silence as his predecessor was killed in cold blood.

DEAN
Damn that's harsh. So what happened to the spearhead?

OLD MAN
It's still out there, somewhere in the world being guarded by whoever the current Eternal is.
(beat)
Maybe you'll meet him someday.

DEAN
Well I'll say one thing, you tell a pretty good story.

SAM
Yeah

EXT. ROAD-DAWN

The Impala pulls up to the side of the road as the morning begins to rise in the sky.

INT. IMPALA

OLD MAN
Well thanks for the ride. It's been a real privilege getting to know you boys.

The Old Man unlocks the door.

EXT. ROAD

He gets out and moves to Sam's window.

OLD MAN
You boys take care now. And before I forget, if you want to learn more about the spearhead I think there's a man in South Portland who can help you. He can see the truth of objects and events just by a simple touch.
(beat)
I think he was a friend of Caleb.

SAM
Wait a sec! You knew Caleb?

DEAN
You kept that quiet!

SAM
You never even told us your name.

The Old Man smiles.

OLD MAN
You're right.
(beat)
I didn't.

JUMP CUT:

A flock of birds suddenly fly out from a nearby tree. Dean and Sam both turn to look and when they turn back to the window the Old Man has gone!

SAM
Wha--

Sam gets out of the car and begins looking up and down the road, but there is no one in sight.

INT. IMPALA

Dean sits in the car and looks in the wing mirror.

DEAN
Pretty spry for an old timer.

As he looks through the back windscreen he notices a small silk pouch lying on the backseat, where the Old Man had been sitting.

DEAN
Huh?

Dean carefully removes the silk pouch and sees the spearhead laying against the backseat, ancient writing written across it.



DEAN
(smiles)
Son of a bitch!

Hold on a close up of the spearhead.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. SHIP, CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

Alex is sitting at a desk staring into space absently drawing something with one hand.

...KNOCK! KNOCK!...

Alex turns to the door.

ALEX
Enter.

Cartez enters the room.

CARTEZ
Sir I wanted to tell you that your speech was, just what we needed to hear.

ALEX
(disinterested)
We should be approaching Maine by now.

CARTEZ
(nervous)
We're....behind schedule. The storm is slowing us down.

ALEX
I thought as much. No matter.
(beat)
Do you believe in destiny?

CARTEZ
I believe in you sir.

ALEX
That isn't what I asked.

CARTEZ
something is troubling you?

Alex looks out through the small round window.

ALEX
Somewhere out there is a relic that strikes fear into my very heart. It seems my fate is intertwined with that item and I cannot escape it.
(beat)
Maybe it's just a matter of time, but I cannot just sit here and wait for it to find me.

Cartez stands in the doorway unsure of what to say.

ALEX
you know, your silence speaks volumes.

CARTEZ
I'm...sorry.

ALEX
Leave me.

CARTEZ
Is there anything I-?

ALEX
(angry)
Leave!

Cartez hurriedly closes the door.

Close up on Alex as he looks down at the drawing.

ANGLE DOWN to see a drawing of the spearhead.

ALEX
Once I find you then no one will be able to oppose me and once I destroy you then the prophecies will die with you and they will all have no choice but to follow me as their ruler.

Alex smiles as his eyes light up.

ALEX (CON'T)
As it should be.

[Oceane]

Absolutely riveting and so an interesting story. I'm hooked, can't wait for the final part

[Bonnie]

To know that that old man had the ancient symbol of power. Very clever, I can not wait for the grand ending to this stoy. Come on bring it up .... I can't wait any longer. This one out of all of the other's is my favorite one. Thanks.

[Dean5339]

ACT IV

FADE IN:

EXT. ROAD-DAWN



The Impala SKIDS round the road sharply “Psycho Man” by Black Sabbath blasting as it goes

INT. IMPALA

Sam holds the spearhead in it's silk pouch

SAM
you think it's real?

DEAN
I don't know.
(beat)
But I don't like the idea of going into battle with a gun that turns out to be a water pistol, if you get my drift.

SAM
Good point. How far are we from Bobby's?

DEAN
Not far now. Hopefully he can shed some light on this whole thing?

POV. SAM

Looking down at the spearhead

SAM (O.S.)
Yeah
(beat)
I hope so.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. BOBBY'S CABIN-MORNING

The Impala drives through the open gates into the lot area.

INT. BOBBY'S CABIN

POV. THROUGH MICROSCOPE

We see a close up of the spearhead being examined

Bobby is looking at the spearhead through the microscope while Dean stands over him. Sam is in the study looking through an old, dusty tome.

BOBBY
It's old.
(looks at Dean)
That's all I can tell I'm afraid.

DEAN
No clue on whether or not it's the real deal?

Bobby shakes his head.

BOBBY
Wish I could tell you more.

Dean smiles

DEAN
You've helped us so much in the past Bobby, guess even you're entitled to draw a few blanks now and then
(beat)
We'll work it out.

BOBBY
I don't doubt it.

CUT TO:



Sam is absorbed in one of Bobby's old books

POV. SAM

Looking at demon after demon in the pages of the book

BACK TO SCENE

Bobby places the spearhead on top of the fireplace and picks up a glass of whiskey off the table.

BOBBY
So how's your dad doing, you boys spoken to him recently?

DEAN
Yeah about a month or so back. Helped him burn down a church, you know the usual Winchester family get-together kind of stuff.

Bobby laughs

BOBBY
Yeah that sounds about right. I take it there were demons in the church?

DEAN
(thinking)
Demons....an evil book....a disgruntled wedding party...

Bobby laughs and hands Dean a glass of whiskey.

BOBBY
You've got your Dad's sense of humor Dean.
(beat)
It's good to hear it every now and then.



Dean smiles, a little embarrassed and drinks the whiskey

SAM (O.S.)
Bingo!

DEAN
(to Bobby)
Sounds like Giles has found something.
(walking over to Sam)
What you got?

Sam turns the book around for Dean and Bobby to see

SAM
Say hello to the Demon, aka Azazel, aka Rameel, aka Gadriel.

DEAN
Damn! This guy's had more name changes than Prince.

BOBBY
You sure that's the guy?

SAM
Definately.

Bobby sighs and nods

SAM
(reading from the book)
Apparently he was a Prince of a group of fallen angels known as the Watchers and he taught men how to make great weapons and to work metals
(to Dean)
Guess that explains what the Old Man meant about his impact on humanity.

DEAN
It a scary notion, knowing that a demon has had such a profound and dark influence over the history and evolution of mankind.

Sam and Bobby stare at Dean for a beat, surprised at his "wordy" sentence

DEAN
What? I was flicking through the dictionary.
(awkward silence)
I was bored!

SAM
Yeah, anyway
(turning the pages)
What!?

POV. SAM

We see that a group of pages have been ripped from the book

BACK TO SCENE

SAM
Bobby what's going on, there's a whole bunch of pages missing?

BOBBY
(lying)
It's...always been like that, ever since I've owned it



DEAN
(sarcastic)
Great.
(to Sam)
Look through the pages that are left. Is there anything in there that we can use to fight this guy?

Sam shakes his head no, scanning the remaining pages

SAM
He can't be exorcised from this plane because he can turn all demons and spirits against the exorcist, we don't have any bullets for the Colt anymore so that's out of the question.
(looks at Dean)
All we've got is the-

DEAN
Spearhead. Yeah, and that's in the big fat "maybe” pile.

Sam just nods in agreement

DEAN
(realizing)
Wait a second!
(to Bobby)
Maybe you can help us Bobby.

BOBBY
What do you need?

DEAN
You remember Caleb?

BOBBY
Sure I do. God rest his soul.

DEAN
The man who gave us this spearhead said that a man in South Portland could help us, that he was a friend of Caleb's.

SAM
Yeah. He mentioned something about him being able to see the truth of things through touch.

BOBBY
You mean Melvin?

DEAN
He didn't give us a name.

SAM
Who's Melvin?

BOBBY
Melvin Chandler. He used to be a priest in a small parish church up in Maine.

Dean and Sam listen intently



BOBBY
This is going back maybe 15, 16 years. Back then Caleb used to be a cop before he became a hunter. He worked a lot of grisly murder cases, serial killers and the like. He met Melvin at church where he was paying his respects to one of the victims while the family was holding a funeral service. Caleb was trying to catch the killer.

SAM
I never knew Caleb was a cop.

DEAN
Me neither. Guess I'll have to revoke my “All cops are morons” stance.

BOBBY
Anyway. After the service ended Caleb and Melvin got talking, turns out the killer was still out there and another victim, a young man I think, was missing. According to Caleb, Melvin asked if he had any evidence or items on him from the current crime scene, Caleb led him to his car where he had a piece of a knife blade that was found at the latest crime scene.

Bobby stops for a moment

SAM
What's wrong?

BOBBY
Nothing. It's...kind of hard to explain this next part.
(beat)
Apparently Melvin picked up the blade, closed his eyes for a moment then opened them and told Caleb exactly where to find the killer and the victim.

DEAN
And was he right?

BOBBY
(nods)
Spot on. Right down to the color of the victim's shoes.

DEAN
what, does he like...see through the killer's eyes?

BOBBY
Sometimes. The way Caleb explained it, Melvin could see the object's history, like a psychic imprint. Maybe he can verify the spearhead?

SAM
It's worth a shot. Any idea where he lives?

BOBBY
Yeah I've got his address around here somewhere. It's pretty old though so I don't know if it's still his current address.

DEAN
Well a break is a break so we'll take our chances. Sam, get the spearhead, we'll need to be ready to go.

Sam nods and goes to the living room

SAM
Where is it?

BOBBY (O.S.)
I put it on top of the fireplace.

Sam sees it

SAM
Got it.

Sam picks up the spearhead and GASPS

POV. SAM

Looking down to see the spearhead burn in his hand before he drops it out of shock.

INT. BOBBY'S CABIN

POV. UNKNOWN

Looking at the spearhead on the floor

DEAN (O.S.)
Hey Sam?

SAM (O.S.)
In here.

We look around and see Dean walk into the room.

DEAN
We got an Address. 214 Matheson Street. Better get ready. It's a Hell of a drive to South Portland from here

SAM (O.S.)
Uh...yeah sure.

DEAN
Dude what's got into you?

SAM (O.S.)
Nothing. Why?

DEAN
You seem a little...you feeling okay?

SAM (O.S)
I'm fine. Guess the spearhead was left on the fire too long, it heated up a little.

DEAN
But you're okay?

SAM (O.S.)
Just a bit dizzy. Think I need to sit down.

FLASH CUT:

INT. SHIP, CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

Alex sits on his bunk, smiling

ALEX
Thank you Sammy. Thank you very much.

CUT TO:

EXT. BOBBY'S CABIN-DAY

Sam and Bobby are loading weapons and supplies in the trunk of the Impala. Dean walks out of the cabin with his cell phone

SAM
Dean you going to help us pack or what?

DEAN
Just making a phone call Sammy. Besides you need to bulk up a bit. Chicks dig muscles.

SAM
The same way they dig work shy "Sabbath" fans?

DEAN
Bite me "Radiohead"!

Dean walks around the back of the cabin and makes the call

DEAN
Dad, it's Dean. I'm not sure if you're even going to get this message but...I hope to God that you do. I think we've caught a break dad-

CUT TO:

EXT. ROAD-DAY

DEAN (O.C.)
Me and Sammy we've got something that we think can stop this demon for good

We PAN DOWN to see a large black pickup truck parked at the side of the road

We see the driver's door is open and there's no one inside

DEAN (O.C.) (CONT)
I know it can dad, I can feel it. Look, if you get this message we'll be at 214 Matheson Street in South Portland, Maine.

We move round to the rear of the truck to see JOHN WINCHESTER standing, leaning back against the pickup listening to the phone message



DEAN (O.C.)
Please dad, meet us there if you can. I think we can end this once and for all, but I know we're gonna need your help to do it dad...please.

Close up on John's eyes almost tearful but determined

JUMP CUT:

SLAM..as the driver's door is shut and the engine starts

From a LOW ANGLE we watch the pickup truck drive off down the road

CUT TO:

EXT. BOBBY'S CABIN

Dean closes his phone looking almost tearful. The silent moment is broken when Bobby appears behind him.

BOBBY
Dean?

Dean is startled and turns around, looks at Bobby.

DEAN
Bobby! You caught me off guard there



BOBBY
Yeah, I'm sorry
(beat)
Afraid I'm going to have to do it again

Dean looks at Bobby, confused

BOBBY
Here.

Bobby hands Dean a bunch of loose torn pages

DEAN
What's this?

BOBBY
It's something I promised John I'd never let Sammy see.

DEAN
Bobby, what are you talking about?

BOBBY
John knew the demon's identity before you boys did. He came by a while back and told me to look up the name Azazel.
(beat)
What we found....threw us for six

Close up on the crumpled pages in Dean's hands

DEAN
And what did you find?

BOBBY
I can't tell you, you need to read it for yourself, but-

DEAN
(interrupting)
Don't tell Sammy? Yeah it's becoming a habit of mine isn't it? Keeping secrets from my brother

BOBBY
Dean, I don't like it anymore than you do, but, you can't let Sammy find out about this
(beat)
It'll tear him apart



DEAN
(frustrated)
I'm supposed to be the one person he can trust more than anyone
(looks at Bobby)
But....I trust you Bobby and I trust dad too, so no, I won't tell him

Bobby closes his eyes and nods

Music cue “Wish You Were Here” By Pink Floyd

Dean walks past Bobby

BOBBY
Dean, whatever you read in there, just remember, Sam is your brother and nothing in those pages can change that, understand?

Dean stares at Bobby for a beat and grins slightly

DEAN
I know that better than anyone

Dean walks back to the Impala. Bobby watches him, concerned.

JUMP CUT:

We see Sam and Dean sitting in the Impala ready to go. Bobby leans in to the window.

BOBBY
You boys got everything you need?

DEAN
(nods)
All set

SAM
Yeah Bobby thanks for everything you've done for us.

BOBBY
Don't mention it. You boys just be careful, if this spearhead is genuine then it's gonna change everything. Could give you the advantage this time.

DEAN
Yeah, hopefully this time we'll be one step ahead and the demon won't see this coming

Bobby taps the roof of the Impala

BOBBY
You two take care and don't be strangers okay?

Dean and Bobby exchange a glance as Dean puts the car in gear and drives out of the lot onto the road

Bobby walks down to the gate

POV. BOBBY

Watching the Impala speed off down the open road

BACK TO SCENE

BOBBY
(beat)
Good luck boys, I hope you won't need it but...good luck

SIX HOURS LATER

FADE IN:

EXT. PORTLAND HARBOR, MAINE-NIGHT

The ship is docked at port, through the dense mist we see Alex and his followers leaving the ship heading onto land

ALEX
(to his followers)
You four come with me

Four of the followers move to his side

Alex turns to the ones remaining

ALEX
The rest of you have your orders. I expect everything to be completed when we return

The few left nod and disperse

Alex leads the other four over to a parked car

INT. CAR

Alex is in the driver's seat, Cartez is in the passenger's seat while the remaining three are in the back.

CARTEZ
Sir where are we going?

ALEX
To tie up a few loose ends, then maybe rip them to shreds until they scream for mercy.
(beat)
The Winchesters want a fight?
(eyes blazing)
I'm going to give them a war!

PAN UP high and ANGLE DOWN to see the car head off past the line of moored ships out of the harbor and out of view

ALEX (V.O.)
Dean...Sam...John. It's time to put an end to your little crusade, once and for all.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[cooldude]

whoa

[Oceane]

What an evil cliffhanger.
What's on those pages that John doesn't want Sam to see that'll tear him apart.
Bobby said to Dean to remember whatever he read in those pages that Sam is his brother. OMG!Don't tell me Sam is not human
And now Alex knows that they're coming

And we must wait until February for the conclusion, aargh no, the suspense is already killing me

[Dean5339]

Actually, I've moved that back. Checked the schedule and found a way for MT to come back January 16th, a week after SN comes back. I will have a full post on the main SN TV page soon.

[LazyCalm]

I love evil cliffhangers

I love them even more when I'm the one who leaves them

Glad you guys liked it

And I can promise you that the next episode will leave you speechless (hopefully the "good" kind of speechless)

Be sure to check back on Jan 16th for the conclusion of the mid-season and the second half of our season because there is some spellbinding stuff coming up

I wish I could tell you what we have in store, but if I did that then Dean5339 would probably send a horde of vicious Daevas after me so I'll just say...wait and see

Thanks for reading
