THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
We pan over a dark suburban neighborhood street and focus in on one nicely kept house.
A man in his thirties, with red hair and a beard, exits the house with a bag of garbage. He takes it out to the garbage cans and stuffs it in. As he walks back to the house, the garbage cans rattle. He stares, walking cautiously towards them. They continue to rattle; he looks up and sees a demonic cloud swirling over the Chicago skyline in the distance.
Panicked, he runs back towards the house, but trips before he gets there. A tendril of demon smoke pours into his mouth.
He opens his eyes; they are black. The now-possessed man stands, looking towards the rest of the demonic cloud now streaming towards Chicago, and smiles.
ONE WEEK LATER
Sam and Dean are sitting on the hood of the Impala in the dark reading books with flashlights. The header of Sam's book reads "Dr. Faustus", and there's information about Crossroads Deals.
Rick is sitting on the hood of the Mustang and Danielle and Rose are leaning against Danielle's bike both researching crossroad deals.
Dean looks up to see Nathan inside the house across from them; he's wearing only a undershirt. He chuckles and the others looks up at him
Nathan grins and gives a double thumbs up. Sam shakes his head, smiling. Rachel walks over and Nathan shuts the curtains. They can be seen undressing each other.
Dean: I raised him well.
Rose chuckles as she rolls her eyes.
A phone is heard ringing. Everyone begins searching for their phones
Sam: Not me
Rick: Same here
Rose: Not me
Danielle: Either
Dean: Nope
Rick shakes his head. Dean opens the Impala door and finds Rachel's phone. He answers it
Dean: Hello?
Bobby is driving down another dark road in his beat up car
Bobby: Hey Rach
Dean: Not Rach, this is the Dean.
Everyone rolls their eyes
Bobby: I thought I told you to stop doing that, Idjit.
Dean: Sorry. Rachel's.....
He looks over to the window then back
Dean: Sleeping.
Bobby: Sam, whatcha you doing, Gigantor?
Sam: Oh God not you too and I'm good. Same old same old
Bobby: You're buried in those books again?
Sam: We've been looking but can't find anything and I don't know what to do
Danielle smiles.
Danielle: I can't find anything and don't know what to do. Title of your sex tape
Sam glares at her and Rick chuckles.
Bobby: You want to break Nat free of his demon deal, you ain't gonna find the answer in books
Dean: Then where, Bobby?
Bobby: I wish I knew. So where's your dumbass other brother?
Rose glances up seeing Nathan follicking through the curtains.
Rachel: Oh yes, give it to me, Mr. Solo!
Sam: Polling the electorate
Rick: Are we just gonna not mention Rachel said 'Give it to me, Mr. Solo"?
Bobby: What?
Dean: You don't wanna know.
Bobby: You guys better pack it up. I think I finally found something.
Sam and Dean glances over to Rick, Rose, and Danielle.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Dean, Rick, Rose, and Danielle are standing outside the house. Sam knocks on the door and then opens it slowly
Sam: Nat? Rach?
He enters the room
Sam: Hey, you----you guys conscious? Bobby called and he thinks that maybe we---
He stares in horror as female moans and Nathan's whoo-hoo is heard
Rick: OH GOD!! I'M BLIND!!
Dean: MY EYES!! MY EYES!!
Danielle: OH JESUS!!
Rose: Whoa!
Sam: Oh---Oh God!
Rick: Never mind!
He slams the door closed and they all exchanges looks of horror
Dean: I need about a gallon of brain bleach
Rick: Give me twenty gallons. That's something I never wanted to see.
LATER
Sam, Nathan, and Dean are in the Impala. Nathan is driving. The Mustang can be seen behind them and Danielle's bike engine is heard in the background. Sam sighs, rubbing his eyes
Sam: Let me see your knife
Nathan: What for?
Sam: So I can cut my eyes out
Dean: That sounds like a good plan
Nathan: It was a beautiful natural act, guys.
Dean scoffs and Sam rolls his eyes.
Dean: That's a part of you I never wanted to see, Nat
Nathan chuckles
Nathan: Hey, I appreciate you guys giving me and Rach a little alone time
Sam: Yean, no problem
Dean: Whatever
Nathan chuckles.
Nathan: Really? I got to say, I was expecting a weary sigh or an eye roll.
Sam: No, not at all. You deserve to have a little fun with your girlfriend.
Nathan: Well, I am in violent agreement with you there.
He chuckles)
Nathan: What's Bobby got?
Dean: Not much. A crop failure and a cicada swarm outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. Ahh, could be demonic omens –
Nathan: Or could just be a bad crop and a bug problem.
Sam: Yeah, but it's our only lead.
Nathan: Any freaky deaths?
Sam: Nothing Bobby could find – not yet, anyway.
Nathan: It's weird, man. I mean, the night the devil's gate opened, all these weirdo storm clouds were sighted over how many cities?
Dean: Seventeen.
Nathan: Seventeen. You'd think it would be "Apocalypse Now," but it's been five days and bubkis.
Dean: Hell, we don't even know where the hell Matthias disappeared to?
Sam: He'll show back up. I know it
Nathan: What are the demons waiting for?
Dean: I don't know, man. Be careful what you wish for.
OUTSIDE LINCOLN NEBASKA
Dean, Danielle, Rachel, Rose, Rick, and Sam pulls up outside a farmhouse. Nathan gets out eating a double bacon cheeseburger. Rachel walks over to him and he leans down kissing her lips
The air is filled with the sound of cicadas.
Rose: Hear those cicadas?
Rick: That can't be a good sign.
Sam: No. No, it can't.
Bobby approaches them
Bobby: So, we're eating bacon cheeseburgers for breakfast, are we?
Nathan: Well, I sold my soul. Got a year to live. I ain't sweating the cholesterol.
Rachel: Hey Dad
Bobby: Hey sweetheart.
Danielle: So, Bobby, what do you think? We got a biblical plague here or what?
Bobby: Well, let's find out. Looks like the swarm's ground zero.
Dean, Nathan, Danielle, and Rick walks towards the farmhouse. Rick pounds on the door
Rick: Strippergram! Did someone order a sexy man?
No answer but cicadas chirping. Danielle picks the lock and opens the door; they cover their noses in disgust.
Nathan: That's awful.
Dean: That so can't be a good sign.
Nathan and Rachel enters first. Danielle and Sam behind them with guns drawn. Rose and Rick enters in behind, guns drawn.
They creep through the house; stopping in the second room, they can hear what sounds like panicked screams.
Sam: You hear that?
They kick open the next door; the sounds turn out to be coming from a television set (playing, apparently, an episode of "Dallas"); a family of three is seated on the couch, several days dead. They ecoil at the increased stench.
Rose: Oh, my god.
Bobby and Dean enters through the other side of the room and also recoils in horror.
Nathan: Bobby, what the hell happened here?
Bobby: I don't know.
Rick: Check for sulfur.
Dean: Yeah.
They investigate the room; Nathan hears a noise out front and whistles quietly, then signals to the others that he's going to go check it out. Bobby and Sam circle around the other direction.
Danielle and Nathan exits cautiously, gun drawn, and looks around. As they come around, Nathan is knocked to the ground by a man with a shotgun; Dwayne Pride and his wife Tamara.
Bobby: Dwayne? Tamara?
Tamara: Bobby. What the hell are you doing here?
Bobby: I could ask the same.
Dwayne: Heya, Bobby.
Nathan raises his arm playfully from the ground and waves for attention
Nathan: Hello. Bleeding here.
Danielle and Rachel rolls their eyes and Rick grabs Nathan's hand pulling him up. Nathan winces, glaring at him
Rick smirks, pitching him on the cheek but Nathan slaps his hand away.
DWAYNE AND TAMARA'S HOUSE
Rick is talking on the phone, walking away from the others.
Rick: Jenny! That is a beautiful name. That's my sister's name, actually.
Dwayne: Honey? Where's the Palo Santo?
Tamara: Well, where'd you leave it?
Dwayne: I don't know, dear. That's why I'm asking.
Rose: Palo Santo?
Tamara: It's holy wood, from Peru. It's toxic to demons like holy water. Keeps the bastards nailed down while you're exorcising them.
She digs in a bag and pulls out a large, pointed stake. She hands it to Isaac with an affectionate smile.
Dwayne: Thank you, dear.
Tamara: You'd lose your head if it wasn't for me.
Dean: So, how long you two been married?
Tamara: Eight years this past June.
Dwayne: The family that slays together...
Nathan: Right. I'm with you there. So, how'd you get started?
There's awkward silence as Tamara and Dwayne look at each other, with hard memories)
Nathan: I, uh, you know... I'm sorry. It's not – that's none of my business.
Tamara: No, no. It's – it's all right.
Rick: Well, Jenny......if you look as pretty as you sound, I'd love to have an......appletini.
He makes a face at the others; Rose and Danielle chuckles.
Rick: Call you.
He hangs up
Rick: That was the Coroner's tech
Dean: And?
Rick: Get this------that whole family, cause of death? Dehydration and starvation. There's no signs of restraint, no violence, no struggle. They just sat down and never got up.
Rose: But there was a fully stocked kitchen just yards away.
Rachel: Right. What is this, a demon attack?
Bobby: If it is, it's not like anything I ever saw, and I've seen plenty.
Nathan: Well, what now? What should we do?
Dwayne: Uh, "we're" not gonna do anything.
Dam: What do you mean?
Dwayne: You guys seem nice enough, but, this ain't "Scooby-Doo," and we don't play well with others.
Dean: Well, I think we'd cover a lot more ground if we all worked together.
Dwayne: No offense, but we're not teaming with the damn fools who let the Devil's Gate get opened in the first place.
Nathan: No offense?
Tamara: Dwayne. Like you've never made a mistake.
Dwayne: Oh yeah, yeah. Locked my keys in the car, turned my laundry pink. Never brought on the end of the world, though.
Rick: All right. That's enough
Sam: Guys, this isn't helping.
Rose: Ric...
Dwayne: Look, there are couple hundred more demons out there now. We don't know where they are, when they'll strike. There ain't enough hunters in the world to handle something like this. You brought war down on us – on all of us.
Tamara: Okay. that's quite enough testosterone for now.
Tamara and Dwayne leaves the room
LATER-NIGHTTIME
Bobby looks out the window, then shuts the curtains. Out of the darkness beyond the house, two mysterious young woman, one with long blonde hair, the other one with long black hair, steps out into the light. They stares at the house, calculatingly
SHOP
Cops are taking forensic evidence at the murder scene as Sam and Danielle watches. They walks into the store.
INSIDE
Rick is chatting up a witness, a young blonde woman; he rests a hand on her shoulder..
Rick: What happened outside makes you realize how fragile life really is. You got to make every second count.
She nods her head
Rose clears her throat
Rick: Excuse me, would you?
Girl: Sure
Rose: Ric, what are you doing?
Rick: Comforting the bereaved. What are you doing?
Rose: Working
She places her hands in her pockets
Rose: Dead body, possible demon attack---that kind of crap
Rick: Right. Yeah, no I--I was just asking if she'd seen stuff or---or you know---
He clears his throat, laughing nervously
Rose: Do you know how much it sucks being related to you?
Rick smiles nervously.
Rick: Yeah, I got a idea.
Dean and Sam glances at each other knowingly
They hear the door opening and looks over to see Rachel and Nathan
Nathan: Hey. Where have you been?
Rachel smiles as Nathan smirks a little, raising his eyebrow. Sam gives them a bitchface
Sam: Seriously?
Nathan: Sam, I'm so sorry. It's just, I don't have much time left and, uh......got to make every second count.
Dean holds up his hand and Nathan high fives him
Dean: I raised you well.
Sam: Yeah right. Sorry
Nathan: Apology accepted.
Rachel smiles. Bobby enters---in a suit, his hair wadded back and slick
Rick: Whoa, looking good, Bobby. Meow
Bobby: Say one word and I'll kill you
Dean: What are you, G Man?
Bobby: Attorney for the D.A.'s office. I just spoke to the suspect.
Danielle: Yeah? So, what do you think? Is she possessed or what?
Bobby: Don't think so. There's none of the usual signs – no blackouts, no loss of control. Totally lucid. Just, she really wanted those shoes. Spilled a glass of holy water on her just to be sure; nothing.
Rose: Maybe she's just some random whack job.
Bobby: If it had been an isolated incident, maybe, but first the family, now this? I believe in a lot of things. Coincidence ain't one of them. Did you kids find anything around here?
Nathan: Uh......
He and Rachel glances at each other.
Sam and Dean rolls their eyes.
Sam: No sulfur, nothing.
Rick: Well, maybe something.
He nods to a security camera in the ceiling. Rose glares at him, shaking her head.
Rick: See? I'm working.
SECURITY ROOM
Sam and Danielle are seated, watching the security footage as Rachel, Rick, Nathan, Rose, Bobby, and Dean hovers.
Nathan: Anything interesting?
Sam: I don't know yet. Might just be a guy...
They watch the REDHEADED MAN approach a blonde woman
Danielle: Or it might be our guy.
STORE
Sam leaves and walks up the street, hands in his pockets. Ruby (one of the mysterious young woman who had earlier watched the house) slips onto the street several paces behind him and follows.
He senses that he's being followed, stops, and turns. But she's gone, and he sees nothing out of the ordinary.
BAR-NIGHT
Dean, Nathan, and Rachel are staking out a bar, sitting in the Mustang. Danielle's bike is shown beside it. Rachel yawns looking around
Rachel: What time is it, baby?
Nathan: Seven past midnight.
Rachel: You sure this is the right place?
Dean: No but I spent all day canvassing this stupid town with this guy's stupid mug, and, supposedly, he drinks at this ... stupid bar.
Suddenly there's a loud pounding on the window; they all jump It's Danielle and Sam who grins at their fear and slides in the back seat
Nathan: Not funny!
Rachel: Assholes!
Danielle: Agree to disagree.
Dean: Yeah. Uh, all right
Sam: So---so John Doe's name is Walter Rosen. He's from Oak Park, just west of Chicago. Went missing about a week ago.
Rick: The night the Devil's Gate opened?
Sam: Yeah.
Rose: So you think he's possessed?
Danielle: Well, it's a good bet. So, what, he just walks up to someone, touches them, and they go stark raving psycho?
Rachel: Those demons that got out at the gate – they're gonna do all kinds of things we haven't seen.
Sam: You mean the demons we let out.
Nathan sees something
Nathan: Guys
The Redheaded man gets out of his car and walks towards the bar
Rick: Showtime.
Rachel: Wait a second
Rick: What?
Rachel: What did I just say? We don't know what to expect out of this guy. We should tail him till we know for sure
Nathan: Or he kills someone and we just sit on our asses with our junk in our hands.
Rachel: We're no good dead! And we're not gonna make a move until we know what the score is, damn it!
Dean: I hate when mom and dad fight
Rick: Hey, they get divorced, who gets custody of us?
Sam: I'm living with Rachel
Nathan: Feeling the love, twin?
Sam: You're welcome, twinny.
Danielle notices something and taps Dean on the arm
Danielle: Hey.I don't think that's an option.
Rachel: Why not?
Rose gestures to another car that just entered the lot. Dwayne and Tamara are walking towards the bar. Rachel sighs, shaking her head.
Rick: Oh shit
Rachel: Fuck me
BAR-NIGHT
A woman puts a song on the jukebox; the bartender slides a beer towards REDHEADED MAN, who is sitting at the bar. At a table, a waitress sets down drinks for Dwayne and Tamara
Dwayne: Thanks a lot.
WAITRESS: You're welcome.
Dwayne pulls out a flask of holy water; Tamara eyes him. REDHEADED MAN walks past them towards the bathroom.
Dwayne: Pull the car in back. We'll be right out.
Tamara: I love you.
Dwayne: I know.
As he heads towards the bathroom, the bartender grabs his arm and stops him. Tamara stands up alertly.
Bartender: What do you think you're doing?
Dwayne: I'm just hitting the head.
Bartender: No.
(He grabs the flask of holy water and tosses it aside
Bartender: I mean, what do you think you're doing here?
(His eyes flash black; Tamara stands behind Dwayne and they both recoil in fear)
Bartender: I don't like hunters in my bar.
The hunters turn to see the WAITRESS stalking towards them, and see that the rest of the employees and patrons have turned towards them. REDHEADED MAN walks back out of the bathroom. He and everyone else in the bar close in around them; all have black demon-eyes.
There is a loud pounding on the door and everyone turns towards it.
OUTSIDE
Rick, Nathan, and Dean slams themselves against the door trying to force it open.
INSIDE
WAITRESS: Hold on. I like the girl.
REDHEADED MAN: Wish I had me a girl like that.
WAITRESS:I can think of about a thousand things I'd like to do to her.
Dwayne: You're not gonna lay one filthy finger on her!
Man: I got something for you.
He lifts a large bottle of drain cleaner)
Man: Here. Have a drink on me, hmm?
Tamara: Dwayne:
REDHEADED MAN: On the house!
Tamara: Dwayne!
Dwayne takes the bottle and begins pouring its contents down his throat, as Tamara screams in the background and the demons cackle wildly.
Tamara: Dwayne, no! Baby, please!
Dwayne drains the bottle, shaking, and drops it to the floor. He gags in agony, foamy liquid and blood bubbling out through his mouth. He chokes and collapses to the floor, dead.
REDHEADED MAN: Oh, he's down! All right, honey. Your turn!
With a screech of tires, the Mustang bursts through the front door of the bar. Dean, Sam, Nathan, and Rachel gets out with holy water which they fling violently into the crowd of demons. They back up and Rick grabs Tamara, who is still screaming frantically for Dwayne
Rick: Come on, we gotta go!
Tamara: I can't leave him! Dwayne!
Rick: I'm sorry! He's dead!
He opens the door
Rick: In the car!
Rose pulls her inside the car from the other side and Rick gets in closing the door behind him. Sam goes to the front seat before seeing Nathan and Danielle still fighting the demons.
Dean: Dumbasses! Let's go!
Sam: Nat! Dani, come on!
Danielle sees him and begins to back away.
Nathan: Rach, get out of here now!
Rachel: GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!! NOW!!!
Nathan opens the trunk and the redheaded demon smirks and hits him around the head allowing Nathan to overpower him and shoves him in the trunk.
Danielle runs towards her bike
Nathan: Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Rachel quickly drives out of the bar as Nathan runs over to the bike and climbs on as she revves the engine and speed out of the bar. The demons stares at them, black eyed
A figure approaches them
Matthias: I thought I gave you a warning. She is to not be harmed
Demon: She tried to-----she was going to---
Matthias rams a demon killing knife into the man's chest, his eyes flashes gold as he groans and dies
Matthias: No one harms my family and lives. Fuck Lucifer.
He turns and walks away leaving the bar, a angry look in his eyes and his eye twitching
DWAYNE AND TAMARA'S HOUSE
RHM is tied to a chair under a DEVIL'S TRAP on the ceiling; in the next room, an argument is ongoing.
Tamara:... And I say we're going back – now!
Rose: Just hold on a second!
Tamara: I left my husband bloody on the floor!
Sam: Okay, we understand that, but we can't go back.
Tamara: Fine. Then you stay. But I'm heading back to that bar.
Nathan: I'll go with her
Rachel: Not a chance in hell! It's suicide, Nat!
Nathan: So what? I'm dead already!
Danielle shakes her head in disbelief
Danielle: How you gonna kill them? Can't shoot em or stab em! They're not just gonna wait in line to get exorcised!
Tamara: I don't give a shit!
Rose: We don't even know how many there are!
Bobby: Yes we do.
He walks into the room
Bobby: There's seven. Do you have any idea who we're up against?
Rick: No. Who?
Rache: The seven deadly sins
Bobby: Live and in the flesh!
Dean: "What's in the box?!"
There's awkward silence as everyone stares at Dean. Rose rolls her eyes
Dean: Brad Pitt? "Se7en"? No?
Bobby tosses him a book)
Dean: What's this?
Bobby: "Binsfeld's Classification of Demons." In 1589, Binsfeld ID'd the seven sins – not just as human vices but as actual devils.
Rose: The family – they were touched by Sloth.
Danielle: And the shopper...
Bobby: That's Envy's doing – the customer we got in the next room. I couldn't suss it out at first, until Dwayne. He was touched with an awful Gluttony.
Tamara: I don't give a rat's ass if they're the Three Stooges or the Four Tops! I'm gonna slaughter every last one of them!
Rachel: We already did it your way. You burst in there half-cocked and look what happened!
Bobby: These demons haven't been topside in half a millennium! We're talking medieval, Dark Ages! We've never faced anything close to this! So we are gonna take a breath...And figure out what our next move is!
Bobby and Tamara stare each other down.
Sam and Dean looks at each other as Rick and Rose exchanges a look
DEMON HOLDING ROOM
Envy is tied up to a chair sitting under the Devil's Trap. He chuckles as the hunters enters the room
Envy: So you know who I am?
Rick: We do and we are not impressed.
Rachel: Why are you here? What are you after?
Dean: She asked you a question. What do you want?
Envy chuckles condescendingly; Nathan opens a flask of holy water and splashes him.
Envy: Ya! Ahh! Ungh .... We already have ... (panting) what we want.
Nathan: What's that?
Envy: We're out. We're free. Thanks to you, my kind are everywhere. I am legion, for we are many. (chuckles) So me, I'm just celebrating. Having a little fun.
Sam: Fun?
Envy: Yeah. Fun. See, some people crochet. Others golf. Me? I like to see people's insides ... on their outside.
Tamara: I'm gonna put you down like a dog.
Envy: Please. (laughs) You really think you're better than me.
The hunters watches him. He laughs again
Envy: Which one of you can cast the first stone, huh? What about you, Rick? You're practically a, a walking billboard of gluttony and lust.
Rick nods his head in agreement.
Envy: What about you, Nathan? You're so selfish and greedy that you'd make your brothers live without you rather then you living without them
Nathan glares, shaking his head. The demon looks at Rachel
Envy: And Rach. Rose.
They glare at him
Envy: You're no better. And Dani, you are I are a lot more alike then you think. Sammy here is filled to the brim with jealousy. Wanna be like his twin brother? Dani, did you know Sammy's in love with you?
Danielle glances at Sam who smiles at her nervously then looks away
Envy: Wanna get the girl but that girl
Danielle folds her arms and glares
Envy: Oohh. Tsk tsk tsk tsk ts. All that rage in her.....you drink in it to face who your daddy really is. Your mommy and sister....
Danielle clenches her fists digging her nails into the palm of her hand.
Envy: Your true self is gonna come out one day and everyone you love? They're----
Danielle lunges forward and punches him hard over and over again until Sam grabs ahold of her
She looks up at him as he cups her face in his hands, brushing her hair out of her face.
Sam: Don't listen to a word he says, Dani.
Envy: Whoa! My point exactly. Wait until you meet your big sister........Octavia. She's a smokeshow.
He looks at Rick
Envy: Horny
Rick nods his head in agreement
Envy looks at Sam
Envy: Jealous....
He looks at Dean
Envy: Stupid
Dean looks insulted
Envy: Selfish
He looks at Nathan then makes eye contact with Danielle
Envy: Violent
He makes eye contact with Rose
Envy: Freak
Dean tilts his head down, glaring at him.
Envy: The others----they're coming for me.
Rick glares at him, pissed off
Rick: Maybe but they're not gonna find you.
The demon raises his eyebrow as Rick gets in his face
Rick: Cause you'll be in hell.
Envy looks taken back as his eyes widens in realization.. Rick stands up straight as Sam lets Danielle go. Rick rubs her back as she glares at Envy, a smirk on her face.
Danielle: Someone send this asshat packing.
Tamara: With pleasure
She picks up a book.
Tamara: Omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica...
As she continues, the others leave and Envy screams.
NEXT ROOM
Bobby, Nathan, Rachel, Dean, Danielle, Rick, and Rose are standing in the next room. Rick is eyeing Danielle worriedly.
Bobby: I don't think we're gonna have to worry about hunting them.
Rose: What does that mean?
Bobby: I think maybe this joker's right. They're gonna be hunting us. And they're not gonna quit easy.
Nathan: You guys, why don't you take Tamara and head for the hills? I'll stay back, slow them down, buy you a little time.
Sam and Dean glares at him in shock while Rachel folds her arms, shaking her head
Rachel: You're insane, Nathan Winchester! Just forget about it, okay?
The others nods in agreement
Rick: What she said.
Bobby: Rachel's right.
Nathan: There's six of them, guys. We're outmanned, we're outgunned. We'll be dead by dawn.
Rick: Maybe, but ... there's no place to run that they won't find us.
Sam: Look, if we're going down, we're going down together, all right?
Rose: Well let's not make it easy for them.
From the other room, Envy gives a final scream; the house shakes and a gust blows out the candles. Tamara slams the book shut and comes into the other room.
Tamara: Demon's out of the guy.
Rachel: And the guy?
Tamara: (coldly) He didn't make it.
LATER
Nathan is sitting on the floor with a row of candles behind him loading a shotgun. Danielle is sitting beside him with her legs folded doing the same. Sam and Rose are across the room filling flasks with holy water. Sam looks over at Nathan for a moment until the lights begins to flicker. They look around.
An old radio sparks to life, playing the beginnings of a scratchy recording of "We Shall Not Be Moved".
Dean and Rachel walks in cocking their shotguns as Nathan stands up
Nathan: Here we go
Rick: We are so stupid.
OUTSIDE
A demon wearing Dwayne's body approaches.
Dwayne: Tamara! Tamara! Tamara! Tamara! Help me! Pleeeeeeease!
She looks at Bobby and then out the window again
Dwayne: Tamara! I got away, but I'm hurt bad! I need help!
Rose: It's not him. It's one of those demons. It's possessing his corpse.
Dwayne pounds on the door.
Dwayne: Baby! Why won't you let me in? You left me behind back there. How could you do that? We swore ... At that lake in Michigan. Remember? We swore we would never leave each other!
Tamara: (sobbing, turning to the others) How did he know that?
Bobby: Steady, Tamara. Steady, Tamara, steady, steady....
Dwayne: You just gonna leave me out here? You just gonna let me die?! I guess that's what you do, dear! Like that night those things came to our house... came ... for our daughter! You just let her die, too.
Tamara: You son of a bitch!
Rachel: Tamara, no!
Tamara pushes the door open, breaking the salt line, and tackles Dwayne down the steps. She lands on top of him and raises the Palo Santo stake.
Tamara: You're not Dwayne!
She plunges the wood deep into his chest; it sizzles, and he screams.
The other six demons cross the broken salt line and enter the house. One, an overweight balding guy, corners Bobby and Rachel who backs up slowly. He stalks them confidently, smiling, until he stops as if he's run into an invisible wall. He looks around, confused. He is under another ceiling-devil's-trap. He looks at them pleading
Rachel: Fat, drunk and really stupid, aren't you, cutiepie?
ELSEWHERE
Rick is being cornered by the waitress Lust. He goes to punch her but she grips his hand and slams it into the wall. She pulls him forward but he manages to rip his arm from her grip and backs down the hallway as Lust follows him with a smirk plastered on her face.
CORRIDOR
Rose and Nathan runs down the hall before two demons blocks their path, smirks on their faces. Rose and Nathan exchanges a worried look when suddenly two knives are shoved in the demons backs, their faces glows gold and they gasps as they fall down to their stomachs dead
The dark hair girl is standing behind, she blows a strand of her hair out of her face, holding two demonic killing daggers
Rose: Who the hell are you?
Octavia: Your savior, that's what. Toodles.
She turns and walks away around the corner and disappears.
ELSEWHERE
Dean begins reading the exorcism for SLOTH, the demon he has trapped.
Dean: Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica...
Sloath screams loudly
HALLWAY
Sam and Danielle turns to run the other way only to see it's blocked by a third demon. They exchange a worried look with each other and prepares themselves for a fight.
The door opens behind them and Nathan opens it, grabbing one of their shoulders and pulls them into a room.
He slams the door closed and locks it as Sam, Danielle, and Rose backs away from the door. Nathan turns to look at them worriedly, stepping away from the door.
BATHROOM
Rick is backed into the bathroom. He raises his eyebrows at the blonde walking towards him.
Rick: I suppose you're Lust.
Lust: Baby, I'm whatever you want me to be.
Rick: Yeah, all right, just stay back.
Lust: Or what?
Rick: Good point.
Lust: I'm not gonna hurt you – not yet. Not unless you want me to.
She runs a hand along his shoulder; he looks down at her, then falls into her embrace. They kiss passionately.
ROOM
Rose, Danielle, Sam, and Nathan all faces the door ready to fight. A demon kicks in the door clear across the room--a man wearing a business suit.
Demon: Here's Johnny!
He advances confidently as they backs up; then stops, holding up their hands to hold back the two demons flanking them
Rose looks up to the devil's trap on the ceiling and smirks.
Demon: Come on. You really think something like that is gonna fool someone like me? I mean, me?
Rose: Let me guess – you're Pride.
PRIDE grins and gestures to the ceiling. A long splitting crack appears, destroying the symbol.
Pride: Hmm. The root of all sin. And you ... are Sam Winchester and Danielle Harvelle. That's right, I've heard of you. We've all heard of you. The prodigy. The boy king. The Princess. Looking at you now, I got to tell you – don't believe the hype. You think i'm gonna bow to a cut-rate, piss-poor human like you? I have my pride, after all. And now with one of your yellow-eyed friend dead, I guess I don't really have to do a damn thing, now do I?
Sam and Danielle looks nervous
Demon: You're fair game now, and it's open season.
BATHROOM
Rick is backing up, still kissing Lust, backing up until he hits a shower curtain. In one move he flips them around, pulls open the shower curtain, and plunges her face-first into the bathtub. It is filled with holy water; she screams in agony.
ROOM
Pride knocks Nathan and Rose down to the ground with a smirk. They groan in pain holding their heads.
Danielle is groaning in pain as Gluttony punches her in the face then in the stomach making her fall to the ground.
The mysterious young woman appears, a knife strapped to her right thigh. She pulls the knife out, grits her teeth, and slashes the throat of the first demon (GLUTTONY). Fiery light appears in the cut, and he goes down - dead.
Greeed turns towards Ruby and says in recognition:
Greed: You!
Ruby turns to the SECOND DEMON, GREED, who punches her twice; Ruby is knocked away, then rushes towards Greed and plunges the knife into Greed's chest, pulling upwards towards her chain. GREED also goes down. Pride
Pride lets Sam go and goes to tackle Ruby; Sam pulls her away and punches him in the face.
Ruby plunges her knife into his neck and upward into his mouth; he gargles opening his mouth and shows the knife in it then falls in a shower of sparks and demonic energy.
Sam: Who the hell are you?
Ruby: I'm the girl that just saved your ass.
Sam: Well I just saved yours too
Ruby: See you around, Sam.
Sam: Wait!
He goes into the hall to follow her, but she is already gone.
Sam and Danielle exchanges a look. Nathan and Rose looks at each other in confusion but Nathan eyes the direction the woman ran off in suspiciously
HOUSE-OUTSIDE-DAY
Rick, Sam, Dean, and Nathan pile the corpses of the demons that didn't survive into a shallow pit and begin pouring salt and fuel over them. Several yards away, Tamara is standing in front of a funderal pyre: Dwayne's
Sam: Think she's gonna be all right?
Rick: No. Definitely not.
Rachel, Danielle, and Rose approaches them, hands in pockets
Dean: Hey
Rose: Hey
They all looks to Tamara sadly. Bobby walks out of the house, exhausted.
Rachel: Wow, you look like hell warmed over.
Sam: Any survivors, Bobby?
Bobby: Well, the pretty girl and the heavy guy, they'll make it. Lifetime of therapy bills ahead, but, still...
Rick: That's more than you can say for these poor bastards.
Rose: Bobby, that knife – what kind of blade can kill a demon?
Bobby: Yesterday, I would have said there was no such thing.
Dean: I'm just gonna ask it again – who was those masked chicks? Actually, the more troubling question would be, how come a girl can fight better than you?
Sam: (chuckles) Three demons, Dean. At once.
Nathan: Whoever that blonde girl was, I don't trust her. Something about her feels off
Sam: She saved our lives
Nathan: I know but something about her felt wrong, Sam.
Rick: I got a bad question for you.
Dean: What's that?
Rick: If we let out the seven deadly sins, what else did we let out?
They all exchanges worried glances all thinking the same thing
Nathan: That is troubling.
Dean sighs and lights a matchbook and tosses it onto the pyre.
LATER
Rachel walks towards her dad
Rachel: Dad?
He turns to looks at his daughter
Rachel: We can win this war, right?
Bobby looks at her sadly and worried. Rachel sighs knowingly and nods her head then looks down
Bobby: Catch you on the next one.
She smiles and nods her head hugging her dad before stepping away. Bobby gets in his car and drives away.
The hunters watches him leave then starts walking towards their cars.
Rick: So where to?
Sam: Uh, I don't know. I was thinking Louisiana maybe.
Nathan: Little early for Mardi Gras, isn't it?
Sam: Yeah. Listen, I was talking to Tamara, and she mentioned this hoodoo priestess outside of Shreveport that might be able to help us out. You know, with your – with your demon deal.
Nathan: Nah
Dean: Nah? The fuck you mean nah?
Rose, Danielle, and Rick exchanges a knowing look deciding to back away and give them space.
Nathan looks at they walks away.
Nathan: Guys, no hoodoo spell's gonna break this deal, all right? It's a goose chase.
Sam: Yeah, but we don't know that, Nat—
Nathan: Yes we do. Forget it. She can't help.
Sam looks at him in disbelief.
Sam: Look, it's worth----
Nathan: We're not going and that's that.
Rachel glares at him as Dean and Sam shakes their heads
Nathan: What about Reno?
He smacks Sam on the arm and turns to walk away. Rachel glares as she grabs his arm and turns him to face her
Rachel: You know what? I've had it. I've been bending over backwards both metaphorically and literally trying to be nice to you and----I don't care anymore.
Nathan glances at his brothers who nods their heads in agreement.
Dean: I second that.
Sam nods his head
Nathan: That didn't last long.
Sam: Yeah, well, we've been bursting our asses trying to keep you alive and you act like you don't even care. What, you got some kind of death wish or something?
Nathan: No, it's not like that.
Dean: Then what's it like, Nat?
Nathan: Guys----
Rachel: Just tell us.
She looks at him sadly. Nathan sighs, looking down then glances back up to them
Nathan: We trap the crossroads demon, trick it, try to welch out of the deal in any way? You die, Sam.
Sam and Dean stares at him in shock.
Nathan: Those are the terms. There's no way out. If you try to find a way, so help me god, I'm gonna stop you. All of you.
Dean sighs, shaking his head.
Sam: How could you even make that deal?
Nathan: Cause I couldn't live with you dead. Couldn't do it.
Sam glares at him
Sam: So what, now I live and you die?
Nathan: That's the general idea, yeah.
He begins to walk away and Sam shakes his head then storms to stand in front of him
Sam: Yeah, well, you're a hypocrite, Dean. How did you feel when Dad sold his soul for you? 'Cause I was there. I remember. You were twisted, and broken. And now you go and do the same thing. To me. What you did was selfish.
Nathan: Yeah, you're right. It was selfish. But I'm okay with that.
Dean: We're not.
Nathan: Tough. After everything I've done for this family, I think I'm entitled. Truth is, I'm tired, guys. I don't know, it's like there's a, a light at the end of the tunnel.
Rachel looks at him sadly.
Sam: It's hellfire, Nat
Nathan: Whatever. You're alive, I feel good – for the first time in a long time. I got a year to live, Sam. I'd like to make the most of it. So what do you say we kill some evil sons of bitches and we raise a little hell, huh?
He smiles and nods and walks on to the car. Rachel glares then walks towards the Mustang. Nathan smiles at her walking towards the Impala before resting his arms on the roof.
Dean: You're unbelievable.
Nathan: Very true
Sam shakes his head and walks over towards Danielle who looks at him sadly and holds up the spare helmet. Rachel and Rose gets in the Mustang closely followed by Rick.
Dean gets in the driver's seat of the Impala. The Impala drives away followed by the Mustang and the Danielle and Sam on the bike.
