TEASER

FADE IN:
EXT. LOVER’S LANE - NIGHT

A car is parked off to the side. It’s a beautiful night, the kind of night where everything’s supposed to go right...

INT. BILLY SHERIDAN’S CAR- NIGHT

BILLY and SUSAN, both 16, sit in the car. He kisses her. They grasp at each other’s clothes. It gets hot and heavy... bordering on being too uncomfortable to watch.

The young lovers moan loudly, giving in to their animalistic urges. Suddenly, Susan stops.

SUSAN
I really have to head home or my parents will kill me.

Billy stops, slightly put off.

BILLY
Some other time?

Susan smiles and kisses him.

SUSAN
Hell yeah.

Billy smiles. He starts up the car. Susan buttons up her blouse. The radio starts, classic oldies, a romantic hit "Teen Angel" by Mark Dining.

EXT. FRESH MEADOWS DRIVE - NIGHT

A long stretch of road. A train track up ahead. The car drives along. It’s safe to go.

INT. BILLY SHERIDAN’S CAR - NIGHT

Billy lovingly glances over at Susan. They share a romantic smile, suddenly the car stops. They rocket slightly forward.

BILLY
What the hell?!

Billy tries to open his door. The locks clamp down.

BILLY (CONT’D)
You have got to be kidding me! The god damn door won’t open!

Susan tries, she can’t open it either. Then she notices - an oncoming light...

SUSAN
Oh my god, no!

BILLY
What is it?

Billy looks out the window to see an ON-COMING TRAIN!!!

INT. ON-COMING TRAIN - NIGHT

The Train Driver spots the car, he tries to skid on the brakes. No use. Nothing happens!

EXT. FRESH MEADOWS DRIVE - NIGHT

The train nears the car. Rapidly. Faster and faster and nearer and nearer!!!

INT. BILLY SHERIDAN’S CAR - NIGHT

Billy continues to fidget with the lock. The train’s lights are BLINDING!!! Susan SCREAMS.

EXT. FRESH MEADOWS DRIVE - NIGHT

The train SLAMS into the car. A blinding FLASH OF WHITE LIGHT.

Close on the car, Susan’s head cracked against the window. The inside of the car is COVERED IN BLOOD... slowly pan back to take in the destruction... “they said they found my high school ring, clutched in your fingers tight.”

BLACK OUT!

END OF TEASER

ACT ONE

EXT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

A violent storm brews in the clouds above the cathedral. Lightning strikes against the ground.

INT. CATHEDTRAL - NIGHT

The only light illuminates from outside. Dean wanders through.

DEAN
Sam, you here man? I can’t get in contact with the others.

SAM (O.S.)
That’s because they’re dead.

Dean stops dead in his tracks, he turns to face Sam. He’s covered in blood.

DEAN
What’s going on?

SAM
I just can’t fight it anymore Dean. I can’t.

DEAN
You killed them?

Sam nods. He draws closer and closer towards Dean.

SAM
They found out about me, who I really am. They had to die. I can’t fight my destiny Dean. The war’s beginning, this is where I draw the line.

DEAN
I can’t stand beside you on this Sam, you know that.

Sam looks down, water beads off his hair.



SAM
No?

Dean watches his brother in dismay, holding back his tears.

DEAN
Don’t give in, we both know you’re stronger than that.

SAM
Inside we all know it’s a losing battle. God deserted us long ago, Belzebub’s rising. He’s my real father.

DEAN
Don’t say that.

SAM
But it’s the truth. All this time, I’ve always remembered, I thought I could change. But I can’t. Inside I will always be Samuel. You knew I would come back from Hell different, Dean. Well, here I am.

Sam holds out his hand. Dean clutches at his throat as he gasps for air. No use. Sam hurls Dean aside. Dean CRASHES through the pews. He lays motionless. Sam nears his brother and bends down beside him.

SAM
I’m really sorry it had to come to this.

Dean GRABS Sam’s leg and PULLS him down.

DEAN
So am I.

Dean uses the spare moment to stand. Sam stands. The brother’s face off against each other.

DEAN
This is how it’s going to be, this is how you really want it?

Sam rolls up his sleeves, exposing the Mark of Cain.

SAM
It’s my destiny.

DEAN
I’m sorry you feel that way.

The brothers hold their ground. Sam CHARGES. Dean runs towards him. They square off. Both getting in rapid punches. Neither one gaining the upper hand. Sam SLAMS Dean up against a stone column.

SAM
Stop holding me back!

Dean PUNCHES Sam hard across the face. Sam turns, he wipes at the wound.

SAM
You’re dead!

Sam gives into his anger and CHARGES at Dean. Dean grabs his brother in an arm lock.

DEAN
I don’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way you changed. You’re not my brother anymore.

Sam grins. A sharp cross rises in the air. It WHAMS into Dean’s leg. Dean GROANS IN AGONY. He falls to his knees. Sam backs away, he KICKS DEAN hard in the chest. Dean falls to the ground.

SAM
This is where it ends.

Dean looks up at Sam in fear. He notices a dark figure approaching from the distance. Sam grabs Dean and lifts him to his feet.

SAM
(Almost demonic)
The war starts now.

Sam PUNCHES Dean. Dean flies back into an ongoing endless black abyss.

FLASH CUT:
INT. HUNTER’S CABIN - NIGHT

Dean bolts out of bed, sweat drips from his forehead. He exhales and scans the room. Nothing out of the ordinary. Sam enters with a small wash cloth draped over his shoulder.

SAM
Are you feeling okay?

Dean stares at Sam, unsure how to answer. The door opens, they both turn to face NOAH RIDLEY.

NOAH
Hope I’m not interrupting anything.

SAM
No, not at all, what is it?

Noah glances back and forth between the brothers, whatever it is - it’s huge! End of Days huge.

INT. HUNTER’S CABIN - TECH ROOM - NIGHT

The Winchesters and the hunters (WARREN, NOAH, OX, GRETCHEN, JAMES) gather around the computer terminal. Noah types away at the keyboard.

NOAH
I was just messing around with the computer, when I stumbled upon it. Bizarre deaths, like really, really rare occurrences. I started looking into it more, organizing the data and this is what I got.

Noah hits ‘ENTER.’ An electronic map appears of a small town. The space is occupied by a multitude of red dots.

NOAH
Now I don’t know, call me insane. But, aren’t rare occurrences supposed to be exactly that? Rare? About one hundred and fifty people have died so far. The town’s population, just a little north of four hundred. Maybe it’s just me, but something sounds like it’s obviously going on.

GRETCHEN
Why would someone want to wipe a whole town off the map?

Warren nears the computer banks, surveys the data. He frowns, way beyond frustrated.

WARREN
It’s demonic.

JAMES
What would a demon have to gain by destroying a whole town?

WARREN
Since when does a demon have anything to gain? It’s always mayhem, death and destruction for it’s own sake.

SAM
Could it be a sign?

WARREN
A sign that we’re all screwed to hell if we don’t get there in time.

JAMES
I don’t know about this, something doesn’t seem right.

Warren boxes James into a corner. Eyes piercing.

WARREN
Doesn’t seem right? If I recall correctly, it was your so-called wise judgement that got Hale killed in the first place.

GRETCHEN
Hey, lay off him, it was all our fault. We all thought we were doing the right thing.

WARREN
But James made the final call, didn’t yah? Gonna sit by and watch as more people die or are you gonna get off your ass for once and do something--

Warren’s words sting James to his very core, he knows he has to. Gretchen intervenes.

GRETCHEN
That’s not fair.

JAMES
No, Gretchen, he’s right. The longer we stay here, the more people are going to get hurt. We have to go.
(To Noah)
Where’s the town located?

NOAH
Olympus, Colorado.

JAMES
Then, that’s where we’re going.

James looks across at the Winchesters.

JAMES
You can come if you want, we’re gonna need all the help we can get.

Dean takes a moment to consider it. Sam doesn’t hesitate.

SAM
Yeah, sure you can count us in.

James grins, he moves past him and pats Sam on the shoulder.

JAMES
Alright, we move out in ten.

Off the computer console and the blinking red dots--

EXT. HUNTER’S CABIN - DAY

MUSIC CUE: "EYE IN THE SKY" ALAN PARSONS PROJECT (Song starts 2:10)

Dean and Sam load up the Impala with weaponry. Dean stops, he looks across at Sam.

DEAN
You know I’m never going to give up on you Sam, right?



Sam stops, he turns to face Dean. Confused as to why he would even need to reiterate it.

SAM
Yeah, it’s you and me to the end.

Dean exhales, studies his brother. Hoping to God he can trust him.

DEAN
Yeah.

They go back to loading the Impala in an awkward silence. Warren watches on from afar.

EXT. OPEN ROAD - DAY

The Impala speeds past the screen, sending leaves rustling in it’s wake.

INT. IMPALA - CONTINUOUS

Dean glances over at Sam. Sam notices and looks back. Dean quickly looks away.

EXT. OPEN ROAD - CONTINUOUS

The Impala passes a sign reading: WELCOME TO OLYMPUS, COLORADO.

EXT. OLYMPUS - DAY

The clouds swirl around in the sky. We take an almost god-like view on the small town below as the Impala and the Hunter’s Van drives through the streets.



We slowly descend and follow the vehicles. The vehicles pull over to the side.

EXT. OLYMPUS TOWN STREET - CONTINUOUS

Dean gets out and surveys the area. Sam and the hunters get out. Dean notices a newspaper, he picks it up. The headline reads: MONICA DAVIS CAUGHT CHEATING ON HER HUSBAND. Attached is a photograph of Monica, a complete wreck, shielding her face from a camera.

SAM
Who’s Monica Davis?

DEAN
Beats the hell out of me.

The Winchesters carry on their way.

A sad young man in his early twenties, ADAM EVENS, walks by dressed conservatively. By the look in his eyes, he sees his whole world falling apart. “I am the eye in the sky, looking at you. I can read your mind.”

EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD - DAY

Angle on a small out of the way home. The grass in the yard hasn’t been cut for a very long time. The television can be heard from within the house.

INT. STU’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY

We move across the kitchen seeing plates piling on top of each other. Flies buzz around the food. Pizza boxes are tossed onto the table along with empty beer bottles. The place belongs to a bum.

INT. STU’S HOUSE - FAMILY ROOM - DAY

On the television the JERRY SPRINGER SHOW plays out. The show features Goths dressed to the nines in all black, seated opposite them are Roman Catholics. A fight breaks out.

STU MILEY, an overweight middle aged man with a beer gut and wearing a wife-beater, watches the television set.



He laughs and claps his hands together. Stu reaches over and lights his bong. He’s about to bring it to his mouth when--

The lights flicker on and off. The television turns off. Stu grimaces, he struggles to reach for the remote. He tries to turn on the television. It doesn’t work.

STU
God damn it!

Stu gets off his chair, he approaches the television set. He tries to turn it on. Nothing. He winds the corner, bumping into a wall shelf. A left over BEER BOTTLE tips over. Beer pours along the shelf.

Stu bends down and checks the wires. Angle down on him to see the beer pouring down. The cable wires sizzle and catch on fire! Stu gets electrocuted from the shock. His body lights on fire. He screams in AGONY as his corpse rots away. The inferno engulfs the room in hellfire.

Off a BLINDING WHITE LIGHT as the INFERNO SPREADS!

END OF ACT ONE

[pacergal84]

[Dean5339]

ACT TWO

INT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - WINCHESTER’S ROOM - DAY

The room is comfortable and old fashioned. The Winchesters enter, toss their luggage onto the beds. Dean wanders over to the window and looks out. Sam flips through the town brochure.

DEAN
So a demon wiping out a whole town, there’s no common strands here Sammy. Nothing tying these guys together.

SAM
Maybe, or maybe we’re not looking hard enough.



DEAN
What do you mean?

SAM
I’d say we start looking into who these people are, maybe try to come up with some answers.

DEAN
How?

SAM
I can think of a couple of places to start.

DEAN
Like?

Dean shoots Sam a look. Sam shrugs, worth a shot.

INT. PSYCHOLOGIST OFFICE - DAY

The room is comfortable and homey. Psychologist JEFFREY HEMMING, middle aged and slimming, thumbs through the books in a grandiose bookshelf. Dean enters. Jeffery stops and diverts all attention on Dean.



JEFFERY
You must be John Connor.

DEAN
Guilty.

JEFFREY
Well take a seat John, I have a strong feeling we have a lot to talk about.

Dean glances over at the sofa, resistant to sit. His eyes dart over to Jeffrey in a way that reads no f***ing way. Jeffrey motions with his hand insisting for Dean to sit. Dean reluctantly takes a seat. Jeffrey sits on a chair opposite.

JEFFREY
What’s been on your mind lately?

DEAN
All of these bizarre deaths that have been occurring lately, where’s the reasoning behind it?

JEFFREY
Wish I could tell you, sometimes horrible things happen that are beyond our control.

DEAN
Everything’s beyond our control.

JEFFREY
Tell me John, do you believe in God?

Dean smirks, he laughs.

DEAN
If there is a God, he abandoned us a long time ago.

JEFFREY
Why do you say that?

DEAN
Look around you doc, the whole world’s falling apart. We need his help now more than ever and he’s nowhere to be found.

JEFFREY
It’s a little more personal than that though, isn’t it?

DEAN
What do you mean?

JEFFREY
I can sense an underlaying hatred in your voice John. What is it that has happened to you that would make you hate God? If there is a God...

DEAN
There’s not.

JEFFRY
Still...

DEAN
Let’s just say that bastard has been ruining my entire life.

JEFFRY
What do you mean by that?

Dean smirks.

DEAN
You’re good at this you know that.

JEFFRY
Well, I certainly hope so, it’s my job.

DEAN
Right.

JEFFRY
You still haven’t told me what you have against God.

DEAN
You want to know the real answer? God caused all those people to die during six twenty six. God killed my mother in a fire. God allowed my father to die. And, last but not least, God took my brother away from me.

JEFFRY
You’re brother’s dead?

DEAN
No, no, that would have been way too easy for him. Instead he gave him this curse that has broken down to the point that some times I can’t even recognize him. I try to hold strong, to be the good older brother, but no matter what I do - he always falls. I’m beginning to think I can’t do anything to save him.

JEFFRY
Save him, from what?

DEAN
From himself.

JEFFRY
And this makes you angry?

DEAN
You’re god damn right that makes me angry, Sammy, he’s - he’s the best guy I know and for God to allow this to happen to him. It’s just not right. I want my brother back. I want to know, I want to feel safe knowing that he won’t ever give in. He’s my responsibility, but where he’s going - I don’t if I can save him any more. And it’s really beginning to tear me apart. Why us? Why did God choose to do this to us? To my family? What did we ever do to deserve this?

JEFFRY
God works in mysterious ways.

DEAN
Bull crap! Mysterious ways is just an excuse, I want an answer. I’ve always wanted an answer. But it never comes. No matter how long I wait.



JEFFRY
So God abandoned you?

DEAN
My mother once told me that angels were watching over me right before she died. If that is true, why didn’t they prevent what happened?

JEFFRY
How does that make you feel, towards God?

DEAN
I hate him, with everything in me, I f***ing hate him.

Dean exhales, he leans back, his eyes dart around, then land back on Jeffry like a confused child.

DEAN
I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me.

JEFFRY
No need to apologize John, that’s what I’m here for.

Jeffry places his notes aside. Dean’s eyes land on them.

INT. THE BUGLE - BLACK ROOM - DAY

Photographs clipped on a hanging wire. Reporter/Journalist RAY MORGAN, in his late twenties, processes the photographs. The door opens, he turns to face Sam.

RAY
I’m sorry, but who are you?



Sam flashes his badge.

SAM
Craig Moore.

RAY
Wow a police officer, I didn’t do anything wrong did I? I mean all I am is the town journalist.

SAM
That’s why I’m here, we’ve been looking into the recent string of deaths--

RAY
You heard about that? Great story huh? I’m a little behind, want to nail it just right - you know?

SAM
Absolutely, so what can you tell me about the town residents here?

RAY
You mean the dead ones?

Sam notices that most of the photographs are rather grotesque and disturbing in nature. He pulls on his collar and nods.

RAY
Do I know why they died? Dude, if I knew that - I would have printed the story a long time ago. What do I look like? A mind reader? I don’t know more than half of them, kinda keep to myself, but at night - oh man, now that is why I moved here.

SAM
What happens at night?

Ray smirks, he doesn’t want to ruin the surprise.

RAY
You seriously don’t know?

Sam shakes his head, still off his guard.

RAY
(Wiggles eyebrows)
Ever wanted to go to Amsterdam?

SAM
Really?



RAY
What can I say man, the chicks around here are horny as hell. It’s great.

SAM
Is that what happened to Monica Davis? She was involved in this?

RAY
No way, she was screwing her gardener. Great piece though, right? The crowd loves that crap, seeing people’s lives fall apart. It’s truly unbelievable what these dirty little rascals are up to, you know?

Ray pats Sam in a “this is awesome” sense, Sam moves back.

RAY
Didn’t live long enough to see her fifteen minutes of fame though.

SAM
She’s dead?

RAY
Yeah, died the night before the paper went out.

Sam stares at the photographs, then over at Ray. Ray flashes a huge friendly smile. Sam cringes.

EXT. CATHEDRAL - DAY

A grandiose cathedral glistens in the afternoon sun.

INT. CATHEDRAL - DAY

The pews are evenly lined up. Ornate paintings cover the walls. White stone pillars arch up at the front. Adam walks through, he crosses himself. He hears the sound of a man talking in the back.

ADAM
Father Morris, I really need your help. Something’s going on. I’m scared father, I don’t know what to do anymore.

Adam stops, remains still. The sound of a door opening in the front behind the statue of Christ. A SMALL BOY, no older than ten, walks out with his shirt a wrinkled mess and tear stains in his eyes. Adam’s eyes track the young boy.

FATHER MORRIS, an aging priest, walks out. He notices Adam. Instantly he’s afraid that he might catch on.

FATHER MORRIS
Adam, what are you doing here?

Adam turns to face the priest, feeling betrayed by everything he used to hold true.

ADAM
Why was that boy crying father?

FATHER MORRIS
(Obviously lying)
He’s been having a tough time at school.

ADAM
You did something to him, didn’t you?

FATHER MORRIS
Don’t be absurd, tell me why you’re here my son.

Father Morris nears Adam. Adam pulls back, tears flow down his face - it’s useless!!!

ADAM
Not you, please not you too.

FATHER MORRIS
What are you talking about? Just tell me what’s on your mind Adam.

Adam feels like opening up, but he holds himself back and shakes his head.

ADAM
No.

Adam runs off, fast, wanting nothing more than to get out of there as fast as possible. Father Morris glances over at the statue of Jesus Christ with shame and pity in his eyes.

EXT. PSYCHOLOGIST OFFICE - DAY

Dean waits outside of the Office Building. The Impala pulls up. Dean gets in.

INT. IMPALA - CONTINUOUS

The Impala drives off. Sam glances over at Dean.

SAM
Find anything?

Dean remains uncomfortably silent. He shakes his head.

SAM
Ray knew nothing.
(Beat)
You took a while, what’d you talk about?

Dean’s hesitant to answer.

DEAN
Nothing.

Sam can tell there’s more to it, he doesn’t push it and chooses to remain silent.

DEAN
I hate him.

SAM
Who do you hate?

DEAN
(Pained)
God.

Dean stares out the window.



Sam wants to say something, but he can’t find the words. The brothers drive on in silence.

INT. PSYCHOLOGIST OFFICE - DAY

Jeffry stares out the window in deep concentration. Shadows move across his face, suddenly it morphs in a flash of a second into a grotesque demonic face akin to a rusting dried up corpse.

EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY

The Impala pulls into the parking lot of a small town police department.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLS - DAY

The police station is filled with people of all ages, police officers wander around. The Winchesters stroll through.

Dean stops and turns to face one of the police officers standing next to a heavily tattooed man. The tattooed man flashes a toothy grin. The officer hands the man money, the man hands the officer a bag of weed. The tattooed man leaves.

INT. POLICE STATION - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Criminals are led around the station. The hunters are crowded around in the back watching on. Warren’s missing. The Winchesters enter and approach them.

GRETCHEN
This place is unbelievable.

SAM
Why do you say that?

GRETCHEN
The station’s corrupt, the criminal and law enforcement agencies are working together. Money, protection and other services being exchanged.

DEAN
Where’s Warren?

JAMES
He’s inside trying to find out information from the officer in charge.

DEAN
You let him go in alone?

JAMES
I trust my men, Dean. I know what they’re good at. Warren has this way about him, getting to the core of people. He’ll get what we need.

THE OX
How’s it going out there?

DEAN
We’ve got nothing.

NOAH
This whole town gives me the creeps, something’s off. I mean seriously, ever since we first arrived it’s been like the twilight zone.

SAM
Tell me about it.

Warren leaves the office in the back. The Hunters and Winchesters look his way, waiting for feedback.

JAMES
So, how’d it go?

WARREN
The guy knows absolutely nothing.

THE OX
You were back there for a while.

Warren shoots the Ox a look. The Ox holds his gaze.

WARREN
What do you expect? These guys are only looking out for numero uno, if it concerns them, they’re all ears. If it concerns someone else, you better look elsewhere.

JAMES
So, what we got is practically nothing?

Warren confronts James.

WARREN
I’d like to see you do better.

Dean holds Warren back.

DEAN
Wo, wo guys. Just, chill for a minute, alright?

GRETCHEN
We’re running out of time.

NOAH
She’s right you know, by the rate things are going. This whole area will be decimated before week’s end.

SAM
So where does that leave us?

WARREN
(Biting sarcasm)
With a town full of dead bodies.

DEAN
No crap.

James exhales, scans the precinct and looks over his team.

JAMES
We’re going to have to be more aggressive in how we go about this. It’s obvious no one here gives a damn about anything.

Warren smirks.

SAM
There has to be something we missed.

NOAH
Yeah, but what on Earth could that possibly be?

Sam and Dean are at an absolute loss.

INT. POLICE STATION - OFFICE - DAY

The office is void of any family pictures and memorabilia from over the years. It lacks any real thought put into it, just pure basics. The main OFFICER in charge takes a seat at his desk, his face morphs into the same demonic figure.

EXT. OLYMPUS STREETS - NIGHT

An expensive SPORTS CAR speeds through the desolate streets. ‘The Sinner in Me’ by Depeche Mode blares from the radio.

INT. SPORTS CAR - NIGHT

COREY MCGINNIS, a young man dressed in an Armani suit, keeps his eyes focused on the road. He talks on the phone through an ear-piece.

COREY
No, I’m telling you Kal, I need that merger made. You can’t do that? Well find some other god damn way then. I don’t care what it takes, we can’t lose out to some second rate company. Make it happen!

Corey hangs up.

COREY
What the hell do they take me for?

He tosses the ear piece aside.

EXT. MAIN STREETS OLYMPUS - NIGHT

WOMEN and GIRLS barely dressed, like prostitutes, are everywhere. Some are having sex with guys right in the open. Ray is among them, scanning a TEENAGE GIRL. She parades around him, seductively rubbing her body against him. He smiles, liking what he sees.

RAY
You really know what you’re doing.

The teenage girl kisses him, Ray kisses her back.

INT. SPORTS CAR - NIGHT

Corey keeps his eyes focused on the streets. He pulls down the car mirror and fixes his hair. The car speeds up.

COREY
You Corey, are one handsome devil.

Corey takes his hands completely off the wheel, fixing all attention on his personal appearance. The wheel starts to turn on itself. Corey doesn’t notice.

EXT. OLYMPUS TOWN - NIGHT

Ray dry humps the teenaged girl against the wall. The teenaged girl stops and stares forward.

RAY
What you doing babe?

The teenaged girl’s afraid. Ray hits her.

RAY
Talk to me!

The teenaged girl squirms, she wiggles out of his hold and runs. Ray turns to see her leaving in a hurry.

RAY
Slut.

Ray turns around to see the Sports Car rapidly approaching! The Sports Car RAMS into an overhead electrical pole. Corey dies instantly upon impact. Ray’s frozen in shock, the others run off in a hurry.

The electrical pole descends, Ray stares up. It SLAMS down into him. The end part IMPALES him upon impact.

One of the seductresses watches on from afar, her face warps demonic. She lets out an angry howl.

Slowly move back into a sky angle looking down on the humans below. Caught in their own personal hell as a BLINDING WHITE LIGHT encompasses the screen.

BLACK OUT!

END OF ACT TWO

[Dean5339]

EXT. IRISH PUB - NIGHT

MUSIC: "GOD WAS NEVER ON YOUR SIDE" Motorhead

Angle down an old Irish Pub. The streets are nearly deserted.

INT. IRISH PUB - NIGHT

The Pub is filled with guys drinking, playing darts and pool. Dean sits at the bar, he drowns a glass of beer, slams it down and motions for another.



Warren wanders through the pub. He takes a seat alongside him.

WARREN
Rough night?

DEAN
Rough life.

WARREN
Tell me about it.

Warren motions for a drink.

DEAN
How could he let this happen?

WARREN
Who?

Dean motions towards the sky above.

WARREN
God, you actually believe in that cold hearted bastard?

DEAN
No, but if there is, why has he abandoned us?

WARREN
If it’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that God is the real monster. He may act like he’s a caring father, but the very second you get on his bad side - he wipes you out without giving it a second thought.

The bartender arrives with Warren and Dean’s drinks.

DEAN
My whole life, it’s been one horrible thing after another.

WARREN
Bet you hate him for that?

DEAN
With everything that’s in me.

WARREN
Don’t blame you, I’ve hated him for a long time. I’d seriously like to get my hands on him, kill him slowly, and watch him squirm around begging for forgiveness. And me? I’m not so forgiving.

DEAN
That’s intense.

WARREN
No, what’s intense is what he did to me. The hell he is submitted me to.

DEAN
What happened?

Warren shoots Dean a look that reads clearly...

WARREN
I don’t like talking about it.

DEAN
Fair enough.

Warren and Dean guzzle down their beers in one full swoop. “God was never on your side.”

INT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - WINCHESTER’S ROOM - NIGHT

Sam sits alone in the room browsing through the internet on his laptop.

EXT. OLYMPUS DOCKS - MORNING

The docks are eerily quiet and tranquil. Adam rests on the edge of the docks, his feet dangling over the edge. His eyes are stained with tears. He exhales, trying to achieve solid ground. A seagull flies by over the lake.

A white light appears behind him. Adam glances back, he stands and approaches. A MAN steps out from around the corner, he’s grizzled and in his early forties with a rough emotionless voice.



ADAM
I can’t do this. This isn’t fair, what have we ever done to deserve this?

MAN
You haven’t, they have.

ADAM
Just give them another chance, please.

MAN
They’re beyond redemption.

ADAM
They’re my family, friends, people I’ve known since I was a child. There’s good people here.

MAN
Tell me the name of one who hasn’t sinned.

Adam exhales, his eyes dart around. He wipes away a nervous tick in his eye.

ADAM
I... I can’t. I’m not able to find anyone, but that doesn’t mean they’re not here! Please just reconsider this.



MAN
The decision has already been made. You have until tonight, you fail, everyone will die.

A blinding flash of white light, the figure vanishes. Adam sighs, he runs his hands through his hair unable to find safe grounds.

INT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - WINCHESTER’S ROOM - DAY

Sam’s on the laptop going through notes. Dean enters.

DEAN
Still working?

SAM
I think I found out what we’re up against.

DEAN
Well, lay it on me.

SAM
All of these victims have one thing in common, well this whole place actually.

DEAN
What’s that?

SAM
They’re sinners.

DEAN
Everyone’s sinned at some point.

SAM
Yeah, but this place? Even for the way the world is now, this is a reach.

DEAN
So what you’re saying is that these people are dying for sinning? What Demon would want to do that?

SAM
I don’t know, but I did find something else...



Sam grabs printed off photographs of a corpse-like demonic figure and shows it to Dean.

SAM
They’re called the Alal. They’re demons who were once men, throughout life they gave into sin, thus when they went to hell the devil sent them back to Earth to lure men to their ways.

DEAN
So they’re mission is to make men sin?

SAM
Yeah, to break them down and see how far they can go. They usually travel in packs of three.

DEAN
How do you kill it?

SAM
That’s the thing, I don’t know.

DEAN
That quack I saw yesterday...

SAM
Psychologist.

DEAN
Huh? Whatever, anyways, he baited me into condemning God. Telling him how much I’ve always hated him.

SAM
That’s blasphemy Dean.

Dean arcs his eyebrows, obviously. Sam catches on.

SAM
That must be how they’re doing it. People would go see him to get help on being unbalanced emotionally...

DEAN
Then he would send them off the deep end.



Dean grabs his gun.

DEAN
Ready?

Sam nods. They leave.

INT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - HUNTER’S HOTEL ROOM - DAY

The Ox sits on the bed cleaning guns. Noah is at the computer surfing the internet. Noah’s mid-way through speaking, The Ox hasn’t been paying attention.

NOAH
All I’m saying is that I’m scared man, the end is right around the corner. I mean this is it, the war that’s going to decide everything. The survival of the human race, that’s seriously a lot to take in. The state the world is in now? I can’t even begin to comprehend what’s happening and I know what’s happening.

James enters, Noah doesn’t notice.

NOAH
What could they be thinking? I wonder if there will be any sign of hope.

JAMES
There will be, the President knows what he’s doing.

The Ox looks up to see James. Noah spins around to face him.

NOAH
Reynolds? That’s a joke right?

JAMES
He’s doing what he believes is best for this country, for this world and so far he hasn’t let us down.

NOAH
He’s just like all the rest, manipulating the people by telling them exactly what they want to hear. While on the inside they’re all power hungry presidential monsters... come on, Roswell was a ‘weather balloon’? Seriously? Who do they think they’re kidding?

JAMES
That wasn’t Reynolds.

NOAH
No, but that was a man in government. They’re all the same.

James looks back at The Ox for help.

THE OX
I’m independent.

JAMES
Thanks.

Noah smirks. James scans the room.

JAMES
Where’s the others?

NOAH
Gretchen went out with Warren somewhere, should be back soon.

James takes a seat on the bed, he stares off into the distance.

NOAH
Do you think we’ll find whoever’s doing this in time?

James glances over at him, he doesn’t have an answer. Noah nods and gets back to work.

INT. PSYCHOLOGIST OFFICE - EVENING

Jeffry sits at his desk, staring out the window. The Winchesters barge in. Dean has Excaliber strapped in his sheathe.

JEFFRY
Dean, I had a feeling you’d be back.

Jeffry stands and turns to face them.

JEFFRY
And you brought your brother this time.

DEAN
We know what you are.



JEFFRY
I don’t deny it. But, Dean, surely you must know that what these men are doing is of their own free will. It is not my fault that they give in so easily to their desires. Men have been sinning all across the globe in areas not even related to Olympus Colorado. You told me how much you hated God, I do too. God’s a mean dictator Dean, trust me, I know. I met him once. He wasn’t what you’d call - friendly.

DEAN
Why are you killing them?

JEFFRY
Killing who?

DEAN
Don’t play dumb with me.

JEFFRY
I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about.

SAM
People in this town are dying off at alarming rates, we know what you’re doing.

JEFFRY
What I’m doing? To tell you the truth, I’m just as surprised and scared by it as you are.

DEAN
Then that means if we kill you, people are just going to keep on dying?

Dean pulls Excaliber from it’s sheathe. Suddenly the blade BURSTS into flames!!! Jeffry’s terrified by the blade.

JEFFRY
You’re working for him, aren’t you? I’m not going to let you kill me.

Jeffry’s flesh layer peels.



He LUNGES towards Dean. Dean’s tackled to the ground. Jeffry claws at him, while Dean attempts to fight back.

Sam reaches for the sword. He can’t lift it. He closes his eyes, holds out his hand and focuses. Instantly, Jeffry’s knocked back and pegged against the wall! Dean stands and looks at Sam taken off guard.

SAM
Do it. Kill him.

Jeffry gasps for air. Dean’s resistant to move. Sam’s eyes narrow, he can’t hold him there for long.

SAM
Dean, what are you waiting for?

Dean shrugs it off, he doesn’t have time. He raises the sword and decapitates Jeffry. The corpse falls to the ground. The sword continues to burn.

SAM
Has that ever happened before?

Dean stares at the blade, then shakes his head.

DEAN
Never.

They both stare at Jeffry’s rotting corpse.

EXT. OLYMPUS STREETS - EVENING ("SIN" NINE INCH NAILS)

Adam walks through the streets alone. Sweat pours down his face. He’s desperate.

The demonic seductress approaches from an alleyway. Adam tries to divert his eyes, he can’t.

The seductress wipes her hair back and licks her lips. Adam turns and walks the other way. The seductress follows him. She wraps her arms around him and licks his face.

ADAM
I’m sorry, but I can’t do this.

SEDUCTRESS
Come on baby.

The Seductress whispers into his ears, her voice is enchanting.

SEDUCTRESS
You know you want it.

Adam grins, he gives in for a second as the Seductress rubs her body against him. Adam regains control.

ADAM
I can’t.

Adam pushes past the Seductress and walks away. The seductress’ eyes narrow, her skin peels back. Adam stops, noticing something off, he turns to face her.

ADAM
Oh my God.



SEDUCTRESS
Not mine.

The Seductress nears him. Adam is drawn to her charm, he has difficulty holding back. The Seductress extends her nails. She dives straight at him and bites into his neck. Blood flows. Adam moans, he struggles to restrain from getting hard.

SEDUCTRESS
That’s it, just give in to temptation.

ADAM
No.

Adam struggles to pull back. The Seductress SCRATCHES his face. Adam groans in agony. He turns and runs.

The Seductress follows him. Adam disappears around the corner.

SEDUCTRESS
Sinning isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Adam steps back out, at an absolute loss.

ADAM
No, I guess not.

SEDUCTRESS
That’s it, give in to your lust.

The Seductress and Adam near each other, Adam kisses the demonic figure. Suddenly the seductress backs away and screams in agony.

Circle around her to find that Adam has slit her throat with a SHARD OF GLASS.

ADAM
Rot in hell.

The Seductress’ corpse collapses. Adam exhales, inhales. His eyes dart around afraid. He runs and rounds the corner. Track with him to discover a SHATTERED GLASS WINDOW.

INT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - HUNTER’S HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

The hunters are gathered around a television set playing a live press conference with President Reynolds. Warren leaves.

PRESIDENT REYNOLDS
Today I look at the world and I have to ask myself, where is God? If there was a God, if there is a God how could he let our great nation fall apart?



Suddenly the DOOR is smashed open. The Hunters back away, unprepared for the attack. The Officer rushes in, baring his fangs.

OFFICER
You’re not going to get rid of us that easily.

The Officer shoots Noah. Noah collapses to the ground, holding his chest as blood spills out. Gretchen races for the guns. The Officer leaps through and SHOVES her aside. Gretchen hits the wall. The Ox moves in for the kill.

PRESIDENT REYNOLDS
On some days it seems like he’s abandoned us to the darkness. I am here today to tell you that we don’t need God!

James runs for the gun. The Officer knocks The Ox unconscious. James GRABS the gun and spins around. Too late, the Officer TACKLES him to the ground and pins him against the wall by his throat. James gasps for air.

OFFICER
Winchesters, where?

James’ eyes flutter as he slowly loses consciousness. The Officer THROWS James aside. He spins to face Warren. Warren smirks.

PRESIDENT REYNOLDS
We can’t rely on God, we must rely on each other.

Warren takes aim, he fires... BANG! The bullet pierces through the officer. The officer grasps at the wound in shock, he falls to the ground.

PRESIDENT REYNOLDS
Trapped in an ever decaying world in the pit of decline, we must drag ourselves out of the fire.

Warren rushes to James’ aid. James coughs and motions for Warren to check on the others. Warren checks Noah’s pulse. He exhales, looks towards James and nods.

PRESIDENT REYNOLDS
I know how some days it seems like all hope is lost, but I stand here today telling you that it can and will be done! This world can still be saved!

Noah wheezes, alive.

NOAH
So, what’d I miss?

Focus on the television screen. President Reynolds facing the swarm of reporters.

PRESIDENT REYNOLDS
You have my promise, my undying oath that peace will come again!

Off the crowd bursting into a thunderous applause!

EXT. OLYMPUS STREETS - NIGHT

Adam runs through the streets, slipping and sliding on his way. He looks around, desperate. He grasps at his head. The town is desolate and void of life.

ADAM
Come on, there has to be someone!!!

A blinding white light. Adam spins around to spot the Man approaching.

ADAM
Please, just give me a little more time...

MAN
I’m afraid I can’t do that.

ADAM
Why not?!

MAN
Because that isn’t my mission.

ADAM
I’ll tell them. I’ll tell everyone what’s going to happen. I won’t let you kill them!

MAN
You need to let them go.



ADAM
I can’t! This is my life! Why are you doing this? Why do they need to die?

MAN
Because they’re all sinners, we can’t have them around during war time.

ADAM
War? What war? What’s going on?

MAN
If you attempt to tell anyone, you will die. Now, you need to leave.

ADAM
Just tell me why!!!

MAN
Go.

The blinding flash of white light encompasses the man. Adam runs towards him and leaps through the air. The man disappears. Adam falls and slides against the pavement. No use. Adam cries and pounds his fist against the pavement. Rain pours from the sky above, lightning rages.

EXT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

Upon closer look, the Cathedral is the same from Dean’s nightmare. A blinding flash of white light, the Man nears the Cathedral. Off his cold look of determination--

BLACK OUT!

[pacergal84]

really good so far. but I have a question. who is Adam? is he a recurring character that I just can't remember? or is he new for this episode? thanks!

[Dean5339]

Adam Even's only appearance is this episode, his introduction is when he walks past the Winchesters in ACT I.

Also not to be confused with the recent supernatural episode, the character's name formulated from Adam & Eve.

[pacergal84]

Oh...Okay thanks. I see it now. I just forgot. But I appreciate it!

[Dean5339]

ACT FOUR

INT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

Father Morris walks through the Cathedral alone. The shadows creep across the walls. The doors open, wind gusts in. Father Morris turns around to see the Man entering.

MAN
I know what you did Father.

FATHER MORRIS
What are you talking about?

MAN
You can’t lie to me father, I can see through your deceit.

A lightning bolt surges outside, behind the man a pair of wings flash in his shadowed silhouette.

FATHER MORRIS
It can’t be.

MAN
You gave up on us, you gave up on yourself.

FATHER MORRIS
I’m sorry.

The Man disappears, he reappears behind the priest.

MAN
It’s too late.

The Man places his hand over Father Morris’ shoulder. Father Morris spontaneously combusts. The flames enshrouds the cathedral and shoots out.

INT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - WINCHESTER’S ROOM - NIGHT

Sam jolts out of bed in a cold sweat, he turns on the lights. Dean yawns and stares over at him.

DEAN
Man, what are you doing?

Sam gets out of bed.

SAM
It’s not done yet.

DEAN
What do you mean it’s not done yet?

SAM
I got this vision, of a priest dieing. Bursting into flames, there was this dark form of a man standing behind him.



DEAN
Anything else?

SAM
No, that was it. We need to go...

Sam moves for the door. Dean gets up and rushes to block Sam.

SAM
Dean, what are you doing? We need to--

DEAN
I know, and we will, but we can’t tell the others what’s going on.

SAM
Why not?

DEAN
Just trust me on this alright? Please? Call it a sixth sense.

Sam senses Dean’s desperation, he nods his head okay.

SAM
Alright.

Sam leaves, Dean cautiously follows him out.

EXT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

The Impala drives up and parks along the Cathedral. Dean gets out. He recognizes the Cathedral. He’s instantly struck with fear. He retrieves the sword, then turns to see Sam, rain dripping from his hair.

DEAN
Stay here.

SAM
Dean, what’s going on? What aren’t you telling me?

DEAN
I just want to make sure it’s safe. Stay here.

Dean equips his gun and runs towards the Cathedral. Sam hesitantly remains behind.

INT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

Dean storms in, he aims the gun around trying to pick up on the dark presence. He notices a figure sitting in the front pew and a burnt corpse on the ground. The figure stands and turns to face Dean.

MAN
I’ve been expecting you Dean.



Dean aims his gun, he keeps it trained on the Man.

DEAN
Just give me a reason to pull the trigger.

MAN
Man made weapons can’t kill me.

Dean fires. The bullet shoots towards the Man. The Man grabs the bullet and examines it. He drops it.

MAN
I told you.

Dean unsheathes Excaliber. It instantly bursts into flames. The Man smirks.

MAN
So you’re the Knight.

DEAN
How do you know that?

MAN
Because, that’s my sword.

Dean stumbles back, sweat pours down his forehead. Lightning strikes, he notices the wings in the shadows. The man is the archangel MYCAELIS! Dean grits his teeth and shakes his head.



DEAN
No. No.

MYCAELIS
I know you've never believed in us Dean.

Dean stares at the angel, fueling with hatred and a burning rage.

EXT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

Sam stares at the Cathedral. He glances around the development. He resists the urge to enter.

INT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT

Dean stalks towards the angel.

DEAN
Where were you? All these years. Where were you? You let my Mom die. You let my Dad die! You let all those people from six-twenty-six die. Why. WHY? You're going to tell me there's a reason for it? For all those people. Why did they have to die?

MYCAELIS
It was a tragedy, every day we mourn those who we've lost. But, there's a reason for everything.

DEAN
For everything? What are you going to tell me next that God works in mysterious ways?

MYCAELIS
That phrase has been used so many times that it's true meaning has been diluted over the years. God has the power to do what men can't. He's given you free will, what you do with it is up to you. Only from time to time does God step in. The end is coming, we're here to restore the balance.

DEAN
It's too little. Too late.

MYCAELIS
I don't expect you to understand.

DEAN
You're damned right. Why are you killing them?

MYCAELIS
They're all sinners. You can't say you've seen one person here who deserves to be saved.

Dean sighs, he can't say there is.

DEAN
That doesn't make it right.

MYCAELIS
That doesn't make it kind. But it is right. It has to be done.

Tears form in Dean's eyes, he exhales and shakes his head. Sam bursts into the room. Gun drawn. Mycaelis notices, a smile spreads across his face.

MYCAELIS
Sam, I've been waiting for you. We have a lot to talk about.

Dean's eyes nervously dart back and forth between the angel and his brother.

DEAN
I’m not to going to let you kill him.

MYCAELIS
Dean, relax. Sam is much too valuable for me to kill, we need his help, he is the one who can change the tide of the war.

Sam’s taken aback and confused.



SAM
I am?

MYCAELIS
You play an instrumental role in the future Sam, it’s your destiny.

SAM
What Belzebub told me--

MYCAELIS
That’s only part of it. But, the whole truth is that you present a danger to him. You have free will and that is something that makes you a threat.

SAM
I gave in.

MYCAELIS
And then you were freed. You chose to stop. You were able to fight off Samuel. There’s guilt, yes, but that makes you human. Men make mistakes Sam, that is part of your nature. But in the end, what you decide to do, who you decide to become is your decision.

SAM
I don’t have to give in.

MYCAELIS
You never had to and you never will, unless you choose to. The devil’s army is rising, he’s gaining support, he’s infiltrated the system. We need to stop him, he already has Alex. We can’t allow him to get you too. Think of it as Cain and Able. Alex is your blood brother, he’s already chosen his side. But you don’t need to join him. You can fight and with your help, in time, we will win. I hope that you make the right decision.

SAM
I will. I can’t let the devil take over.

MYCAELIS
Good, I was hoping that’s what you would say. You have a good family Sam, they raised you right, they’ve looked out for you since the beginning. But, now it’s your time to accept your destiny. Who you’re meant to be. We need you. Things are going to heat up pretty soon, but you and Dean, together, I have a feeling that you can make it through.

Dean motions back towards the town.

DEAN
And what happens to them?

MYCAELIS
The whole town is going to die. Olympus Colorado is going to be wiped off the map. It’s happened before, it’s happening now and it will probably happen again. But that’s the way it has to be to secure order.

DEAN
I can’t let you do that.

MYCAELIS
You don’t have a choice.

SAM
What do we do now?

MYCAELIS
You turn around, you get you and your friends out of here. I’ll give you some time before I start the fire. But be warn, there is someone amongst you who can not be trusted. Good luck. The war has begun.

In a blinding white light, Mycaelis disappears. Dean and Sam shield their eyes.

EXT. CATHEDRAL - DAWN

The Winchesters leave as the sun starts to rise.

EXT. OLYMPUS HOTEL - DAWN

The Impala pulls to the side, Dean and Sam get out. The Hunters stand alongside their van.

DEAN
We need to get out of here.

JAMES
What happened?

DEAN
Nothing. We just took a drive.

WARREN
You’re hiding something from us. Where were you?

DEAN
Out, we don’t have time. We need to go.

WARREN
No, not until you tell us what’s going on hot shot.

Dean pegs Warren against the van.

DEAN
Shut up, get in the car and drive.

Dean shoots James a look, he means business. James nods, he motions for his crew to get in. Warren nears the passenger side. He looks back at Dean.

WARREN
Don’t think this is over Winchester, count on it.

Warren gets in. Dean shakes it off, he gets into the Impala. The cars start and drive off.

MUSIC CUE: "ANGEL OF DEATH" THE PINE VALLEY

We fly back to a god-like view on the town below. The Impala and Hunter’s Van drive away as the town catches on fire. The fire spreads throughout.

INT. HOME - FAMILY ROOM - DAWN

A family burns to death, screaming in agony as the inferno strikes. Their corpses rot away.

EXT. CATHEDRAL - DAWN

The Cathedral catches on fire. The fire spreads along the outside cross stationed on the roof. “The angel of death, will come from the sky.”

EXT. OLYMPUS DOCKS - DAWN

The docks set on fire, it spreads along the entire area. Mariners combust as their corpses rot away. “And claim your poor soul when the time comes to die.”

INT. IMPALA - DAWN

Dean watches the town burn behind him through the rear-view mirror. He exhales and looks away, at a loss. Sam glances up at the skies above.



EXT. HILL TOP - DAWN

Adam struggles as he climbs up a hill with an overlook on the town. He wipes the sweat away from his face. He takes a seat and looks down on the town below as it burns out of existence... “Can you truthfully say with your dying breath, that you’re ready to meet the angel of death.”

END OF EPISODE

[Dean5339]

SEASON FINALE, NEXT WEEK

[pacergal84]

Really good! I love the twist. Sam has a chance to be a good boy. And be in his rightful place, beside Dean. I can't wait to see what you all do for the season finale and how it's going to pull us into the next season!
