Supernatural, Season 4

Supernatural (2005-) is a paranormal/horror/thriller/drama-themed television series on the WB Television Network (now merged with UPN into the new network The CW) that details the lives of two brothers who travel across the country in a black 1967 Chevy Impala investigating paranormal events and other unexplained occurrences.

Castiel:
Excellent job with the witnesses.

Dean:
You were hip to all this?

Castiel:
I was, uh, made aware.

Dean:
Well, thanks a lot for the angelic assistance. You know, I almost got my heart ripped out of my chest.

Castiel:
But you didn't.

Dean:
I thought angels were supposed to be guardians. Fluffy wings, halos -- You know, Michael Landon. Not dicks.

Castiel:
Read the Bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a soldier.

Dean:
Yeah? Then, why didn't you fight?

Castiel:
I'm not here to perch on your shoulder. We had larger concerns.

Dean:
Concerns? There were people getting torn to shreds down here! And, by the way, while all this is going on, where the hell is your boss, huh, if there is a God?

Castiel:
There's a God.

Dean:
I'm not convinced. 'Cause if there's a God, what the hell is he waiting for, huh? Genocide? Monsters roaming the earth? The freaking Apocalypse? At what point does he lift a damn finger and help the poor bastards that are stuck down here?

Castiel:
The Lord works...

Dean:
If you say "mysterious ways," so help me, I will kick your ass. So, Bobby was right... about the witnesses... this is some kind of a... sign of the Apocalypse.

Castiel:
That's why we're here. Big things afoot.

Dean:
Do I want to know what kind of things?

Castiel:
I sincerely doubt it, but you need to know. The rising of the witnesses is one of the 66 seals.

Dean:
Okay. I'm guessing that's not a show at Seaworld.

Castiel:
Those seals are being broken. By Lilith.

Dean:
She did the spell. She rose the witnesses.

Castiel:
Mm-hmm. And not just here. Twenty other hunters are dead.

Dean:
Of course. She picked victims that the hunters couldn't save so that they would barrel right after us.

Castiel:
Lilith has a certain sense of humor.

Dean:
Well, we put those spirits back to rest.

Castiel:
It doesn't matter. The seal was broken.

Dean:
Why break the seal anyway?

Castiel:
You think of the seals as locks on a door.

Dean:
... Okay. Last one opens and...

Castiel:
Lucifer walks free.

Dean:
Lucifer? But I thought Lucifer was just a story they told at demon Sunday school. There's no such thing.

Castiel:
Three days ago, you thought there was no such thing as me. Why do you think we're here walking among you now for the first time in 2,000 years?

Dean:
To stop Lucifer.

Castiel:
That's why we've arrived.

Dean:
Well... bang-up job so far. Stellar work with the witnesses. That's nice.

Castiel:
We tried. And there are other battles, other seals. Some we'll win, some we'll lose. This one we lost. Our numbers are not unlimited. Six of my brothers died in the field this week. You think the armies of heaven should just follow you around? There's a bigger picture here. You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of hell. I can throw you back in.

Sam:
Dean, what are you doing? What, are you, are you leaving?

Dean:
You don't need me. You and Ruby go fight demons.

Sam:
Hold on. Dean, come on, man. (Dean punches Sam in the face) You satisfied? (Dean hits him again) I guess not.

Dean:
Do you even know how far off the reservation you've gone? How far from normal? From human?

Sam:
I'm just exorcising demons.

Dean:
With your mind! What else can you do?

Sam:
I can send them back to hell. It only works with demons, and that's it.

Dean:
What else can you do?!

Sam:
I told you!

Dean:
And I have every reason in the world to believe that.

Sam:
Look, I should have said something. I'm sorry, Dean. I am. But try to see the other side here.

Dean:
The other side?

Sam:
I'm pulling demons out of innocent people.

Dean:
Use the knife!

Sam:
The knife kills the victim! What I do, most of them survive! Look, I've saved more people in the last five months than we save in a year.

Dean:
That what Ruby want you to think? Huh? Kind of like the way she tricked you into using your powers? Slippery slope, brother. Just wait and see. Because it's gonna get darker and darker, and God knows where it ends.

Sam:
I'm not gonna let it go too far.

Dean:
It's already gone too far, Sam. If I didn't you know... I would wanna hunt you. And so would other hunters.

Sam:
You were gone. I was here. I had to keep on fighting without you. And what I'm doing... It works.

Dean:
Well, tell me. If it's so terrific... then why'd you lie about it to me? Why did an angel tell me to stop you?

Sam:
What?

Dean:
Cas' said that if I don't stop you, he will. See what that means, Sam? That means that God doesn't want you doing this. So, are you just gonna stand there and tell me everything is all good?

Sam:
Who are you?!

Dean:
Sam! Sam, wait! It's Castiel. The angel. Him, I don't know.

Castiel:
Hello Sam.

Sam:
Oh my God- er- uh- I didn't mean to- sorry. It's an honor, really, I- I've heard a lot about you.

Castiel:
And I, you. Sam Winchester...The boy with the demon blood. Glad to hear you've ceased your extracurricular activities.

Uriel:
Let's keep it that way.

Dean:
Yeah, okay, chuckles. Who's your friend?

Castiel:
This raising of Samhain, have you stopped it?

Dean:
Why?

Castiel:
Dean, have you located the witch?

Dean:
Yes, we've located the witch.

Castiel:
And is the witch dead?

Sam:
No, but...

Dean:
We know who it is.

Castiel:
Apparently the witch knows who you are too. This was inside the wall of your room. If we hadn't found it, surely one or both of you would be dead. Do you know where the witch is now?

Dean:
We're working on it.

Castiel:
That's unfortunate.

Dean:
What do you care?

Castiel:
The raising of Samhain is one of the 66 seals.

Dean:
So this is about your buddy Lucifer.

Uriel:
Lucifer is no friend of ours.

Dean:
It's just an expression.

Castiel:
Lucifer cannot rise, the breaking of the seal must be prevented at all costs.

Dean:
Okay, great, well now that you're here, why don't you tell us where the witch is, we'll gank her and everybody goes home.

Castiel:
We are not omniscient, this witch is very powerful, she's cloaked even our methods.

Sam:
Okay, we already know who she is, so if we work together-

Uriel:
Enough of this.

Dean:
Okay, who are you and why should I care?

Castiel:
This is Uriel, he's what you might call... a specialist.

Dean:
What kind of specialist? What are you gonna do?

Castiel:
You...uh both of you, you need to leave this town immediately.

Dean:
Why?

Castiel:
Because we're about to destroy it.

Dean:
So this is your plan, you're gonna smite the whole friggin' town?

Castiel:
We're out of time, this witch has to die, the seal must be saved.

Sam:
There are a thousand people here.

Uriel:
One thousand two hundred fourteen.

Sam:
And you're willing to kill them all?

Uriel:
This isn't the first time I've…purified a city.

Castiel:
Look, I understand this is regrettable.

Dean:
Regrettable?

Castiel:
We have to hold the line; too many seals have broken already.

Dean:
So you screw the pooch on some seals and now this town has to pay the price?

Castiel:
It's the lives of one thousand against the lives of six billion, there's a bigger picture here.

Dean:
Right, cause you're bigger picture kind of guys.

Castiel:
Lucifer cannot rise, he does and hell rises with him. Is that something that you're willing to risk?

Sam:
We'll stop this witch before she summons anyone. Your seal won't be broken and no one has to die.

Uriel:
We're wasting time with these mud monkeys.

Castiel:
I'm sorry, but we have our orders.

Sam:
No, you can't do this, you're... you're angels, I mean aren't you supposed to- You're supposed to show mercy.

Uriel:
Says who?

Castiel:
We have no choice.

Dean:
Of course you have a choice, I mean, come on, what? You've never-you've never questioned a crap order, huh? What are you both just a couple of hammers?

Castiel:
Look, even if you can't understand it, have faith, the plan is just.

Sam:
How can you even say that?

Castiel:
Because it comes from heaven, that makes it just.

Dean:
Oh, it must be nice, to be so sure of yourselves.

Castiel:
Tell me something Dean, when your father gave you an order, didn't you obey?

Dean:
Well sorry boys, looks like the plans have changed.

Uriel:
You think you can stop us?

Dean:
No, but if you're gonna smite this whole town, then you're gonna have to smite us with it, because we are not leaving. See, you went to the trouble of busting me out of hell, I figure I'm worth something to the man upstairs. You wanna waste me? Go ahead, see how he digs that.

Uriel:
I will drag you out of here myself.

Dean:
Yeah, but you'll have to kill me, then we're back to the same problem. I mean, come on, you're gonna wipe out a whole town for one little witch. Sounds to me like you're compensating for something. We can do this, we will find that witch and we will stop the summoning.

Uriel:
Castiel! I will not let these peop-

Castiel:
Enough! I suggest you move quickly.

Dean:
Let me guess you're here for the, I told you so.

Castiel:
No.

Dean:
Well, good cause I'm really not that interested.

Castiel:
I am not here to judge you Dean.

Dean:
Then why are you here?

Castiel:
Our orders-

Dean:
Yeah, you know, I've had about enough of these orders of yours-

Castiel:
Our orders were not to stop the summoning of Samhain, they were to do whatever you told us to do.

Dean:
Your orders were to follow my orders?

Castiel:
It was a test, to see how you would perform under... battlefield conditions, you might say.

Dean:
It was a witch, not the Tet Offensive. So I uh- failed your test, huh? I get it. But you know what? If you would have waved that-that magic time traveling wand of yours and we had to do it all over again, I'd make the same call. Cause see, I don't know what's gonna happen when these seals are broken, hell I don't even know what's gonna happen tomorrow. But what I do know is, that this, here? These kids, the swings, the trees, all of it is still here because of my brother and me.

Castiel:
You misunderstand me Dean. I'm not like you think, I was praying that you would choose to save the town.

Dean:
You were?

Castiel:
These people, they're all my father's creations. They're works of art, and yet, even though you stopped Samhain, the seal was broken and we are one step closer to hell on earth, for all creation. Now that's not an expression Dean, its a literal. You of all people should appreciate what that means. Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul?

Dean:
Okay.

Castiel:
I'm not a…hammer as you say. I have questions, I...I have doubts. I don't know what is right and what is wrong anymore, whether you passed or failed here. But in the coming months you will have more decisions to make. I don't envy the weight that's on your shoulders Dean. I truly don't.

Dean:
Well, I feel stupid doing this, but... I am fresh out of options. So please. I need some help. I'm praying, okay? Now come on! Please.

Castiel:
Prayer is a sign of faith. This is a good thing, Dean.

Dean:
So does that mean you'll help me?

Castiel:
I'm not sure what I can do.

Dean:
Drag Sam out of here now, before Lillith shows up!

Castiel:
It's a prophecy. I can't interfere.

Dean:
You have tested me, and thrown me every which way. And I have never asked for anything. Not a damn thing. But now I'm asking. I need your help. Please.

Castiel:
What you're asking, it's not within my power to do.

Dean:
Why, cause it's divine prophecy?

Castiel:
Yes.

Dean:
So what, we're just supposed to sit around and-and wait for it to happen?

Castiel:
I'm sorry.

Dean:
Screw you. You and your mission. Your God. If you don't help me now, then when the time comes and you need me? Don't bother knocking.

Castiel:
Dean. Dean!

Dean:
What?

Castiel:
You must understand why I can't intercede. Prophets are very special, they're protected.

Dean:
I get that.

Castiel:
If anything threatens a prophet, anything at all - an archangel will appear to destroy that threat. Archangels are fierce. They're absolute. They're Heaven's most terrifying weapon.

Dean:
And these archangels, they're tied to prophets?

Castiel:
Yes.

Dean:
So if a prophet was in the same room as a demon...

Castiel:
Then the most fearsome wrath of Heaven would rain down on that demon. Just so you understand... why I can't help.

Dean:
Thanks, Cas.

Castiel:
Good luck.

Castiel:
You can't reach him, Dean. You're outside your coverage zone.

Dean:
What're you gonna do to Sam?

Castiel:
Nothing. He's gonna do it to himself.

Dean:
What's that supposed to mean? Oh right, right. Better toe the company line. Why are you here, Cas?

Castiel:
We've been through much together, you and I; I just wanted to say I'm sorry it ended like this.

Dean:
Sorry? (Dean hits Castiel) It's Armageddon, Cas, you need a bigger word than "sorry."

Castiel:
Try to understand; this is long foretold, this is your--

Dean:
Destiny? Don't give me that "holy" crap. Destiny, God's plan... It's all a bunch of lies, you poor, stupid son of a bitch! It's just a way for your bosses to keep me and keep you in line! You know what's real? People, families - that's real. And you're gonna watch them all burn?

Castiel:
What is so worth saving?! I see nothing but pain here. I see inside you, I see your guilt, your anger, confusion. In Paradise, all is forgiven. You'll be at peace. Even with Sam.

Dean:
You can take your peace... and shove it up your lily-white ass. 'Cause I'll take the pain and the guilt. I'll even take Sam as is. It's a lot better than being some Stepford bitch in Paradise. This is simple, Cas! No more crap about being a good soldier; there is a right, and there is a wrong here, and you know it. Look at me! You know it! And you were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna warn me about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible Camp. Help me, now. Please.

Castiel:
...What would you have me do?

Dean:
Get me to Sam, we can stop this before it's too late!

Castiel:
I do that, we will all be hunted! We'll all be killed!

Dean:
If there is anything worth dying for... this is it... (Castiel shakes his head) You spineless, soulless son of a bitch! What do you care about dying? You're already dead. We're done.

Castiel:
Dean.

Dean:
We're done.
