Supernatural s11e01 Episode Script

Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire

Truth is I'm past saving.
I know how my story ends.
I've been the one out there and scared.
And Dean did whatever he could to save you.
I owe him this.
I owe him everything.
Aah! Mother.
- Will you help me? - Kill my son? - What are you doing? - I'm saving my brother.
Don't tell your brother what we're doing.
Whoa, thought it was a nightmare Rowena: She's cracked the code.
Lord, it was so true they told me don't go walking slow the devil's on the loose better run through the jungle better run through the jungle better run through the jungle [ Snaps .]
Whoa, don't look back to see Impetus bestiarum.
God locked the darkness away, and he created a Mark that would serve as lock and key.
The Mark cannot be removed, lest the darkness be set free.
[ Roaring .]
Hey! The hell's going on?! [ Horn blaring .]
Ohh.
[ Blaring continues .]
[ Horn shuts off .]
[ Roaring .]
Hold on! Dean?! Dean?! Dean? Hey! Hey! Dean.
[ Groans .]
You okay? Yeah.
Where's the car? I-i-it's About a mile that way.
What? Seriously? The -- the darkness hit.
You disappeared.
You remember none of this? Hold on! She saved me.
What? Who? The Darkness.
Sam: What are you saying? What do you mean, she saved you? You were there.
When the storm hit, everything went dark.
Yeah, but you just disappeared from the car.
I don't even remember that.
Well, I don't remember some woman pulling you out.
Well, what do you want me to say, okay? I was in the car, and then I wasn't in the car.
I was in the field, and she was there.
And she told you she was the darkness.
No.
She was wearing a nametag.
What do you think? She thanked me.
For what? Setting her free.
You didn't set her free.
I set her free.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, yeah, you said the spell, but I had the Mark, so lock and key.
So, what, now she feels indebted to you or something? I don't know.
She's the darkness.
Does she feel anything? And that's all she said? Thanks? Yeah.
She was weird.
But she had this energy about her, this -- this focus.
But, yeah, not a talker.
So we know Jack.
Well, we know what she looks like, and we know that she's evil.
The question is, what does she know? I mean, she's been locked away since the beginning of time.
Does she even know what a cheeseburger is? All I know is that we set her free, and we're gonna put her back in, no matter what it takes.
What the Just gonna let me get in the car? You were on a roll.
[ Car door slams .]
[ Birds chirping .]
[ Growling .]
Don't! Please! You think you can kill me? You execrable -- [ groaning .]
[ Birds chirping .]
No.
He's still alive.
[ Door opens .]
Don't make me hurt you.
Do you hear me? I can't help myself.
You have to run.
[ Gunshot .]
[ Gunshots .]
[ Engine rumbles .]
[ Engine shuts off .]
[ Police radio chatter .]
[ Guns cock in unison .]
[ Police radio chatter .]
The hell happened here? [ Door closes .]
Hello? That's not a happy sight.
Hey, easy, buddy.
Just stay cool till we figure out what's going here, okay? Kind of narrowing my options here.
We don't even know what he is.
[ Gunshot .]
Weapons on the ground.
Slow.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, officer.
We're FBI, okay? We got badges.
Don't.
Show me some skin.
-Huh? -What? Both of you.
Is this, like, a "Magic Mike" moment? Your throats! Oh, you think we're -- we're We don't even know what these are.
I need to know you're not one of 'em.
- One of what? - Let's go! Okay, all right, look.
Huh? See? Good.
Let's see those IDs.
Yeah, whoa.
Take -- take it easy, okay? Bad guys? [ Gasping .]
Rebar.
I sought cover.
I fell.
Okay.
Why don't you tell us what happened here? in distress.
I arrived to find several hostiles attacking said family.
Oh, God, it was horrible.
How long you been on the job, deputy? Uh Okay, three weeks.
Okay.
I'm Dean.
This is Sam.
Just breathe.
Okay? Speak plain.
What happened? They killed them all.
Who? Road crew.
It was -- they were like rabid dogs.
I fired off a warning, but they didn't stop.
They You killed all these? I knew some of the boys, but they didn't look -- something was wrong.
They were They're not human.
Hey, look, I can stitch that up, but, uh, it's gonna be ugly.
You got a hospital around here? Up the road.
All right.
Here we go.
Well, this is encouraging.
Wait here.
So, what are you thinking? I don't really know what to think.
And I don't know what to expect in here, so I'm just gonna Chuck it all in.
This is the darkness, right? It's got to be.
So, what, she shows up and everybody goes "28 Days Later"? We didn't.
Yeah, but I was in the car, and you were -- you said she protected you.
So maybe it wasn't her.
Maybe it was the smoke, and anybody who was outside, like the road crew, they were exposed.
I mean, you saw that.
That wasn't human.
So, what? The smoke mutated 'em? Sure, why not? Just a couple hours ago, I killed death.
I'm pretty much open for anything.
But mutated into what? All right, you know what, one thing at a time.
Let's just get her some help and then we'll deal with whatever comes next.
I got to call this in.
No, bad idea.
More people, more bodies.
We'll deal with this.
You know what, Dean, I'm gonna take a look around.
You sew her up.
All right.
You know this place? - This way.
- Okay.
[ Crash .]
[ Banging .]
[ Grunting .]
[ Breathing heavily .]
[ Baby crying .]
This is gonna hurt like a son of a bitch.
I knew those boys' sisters, their parents.
You did what you were trained to do.
[ Inhales sharply .]
It's all right.
They don't train you to shoot your friends.
I panicked.
I could have Those boys weren't boys.
They were monsters, and they were a threat.
Anybody could have panicked.
Not anybody could have done what you did.
This job is supposed to be saving people.
Yeah, well It sounds better on paper, doesn't it? Well, now that you've said your thanks, let's talk about what happens next.
I like it here.
With you.
I haven't felt this peaceful in a long, long time.
Well, let's get something straight -- I'm not here to bring you peace.
I know what you are.
Really? I've been gone so long, I didn't think anyone remembered.
Well, death painted a hell of a picture.
I don't know this death, and he doesn't know me.
So, are you saying I shouldn't try and kill you right now? Am I saying that? Or are you? [ Banging and clattering .]
Hello? [ Choking .]
Hello? Man: Is he dead? Yeah, um [ Clears throat .]
Yeah, he's dead.
It's okay to come out.
I'm, uh, FBI.
Here.
I'm gonna slide my badge under the door, okay? [ Lock clicks .]
Help us, please.
[ Baby fusses .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Sighs .]
Bollocks.
Hmm.
Old-school it is.
Vanilla spice? Man: Marn? Down here! Hmm.
What's going on? You just sit your tush down, okay? Just let me get this out.
I've been thinking a lot about what you said -- and -- and I know, I lost my chickens when you put it out there.
But it's not every day that your wife tells you that she wants to watch you get a party started with your best friends.
I mean, am I right? [ Laughs .]
[ Laughter .]
Hmm.
Go on.
So, I slept on it and I prayed on it, and then it came to me.
Yolo.
Yolo? "You only live once.
" [ Laughs .]
Don't.
Sorry.
So, I called Dale, and he said H-e-double-hockey-sticks, yeah! Dale ran it by Deb We were only gonna get buffet anyway.
[ Laughs .]
-And here we are.
I didn't think I'd be this nervous, but Hey, hey, hey.
Don't worry.
We'll be gentle.
- Not! - Oh, Dale! [ Laughter .]
Anyhoo, it's your day, birthday girl.
You just say go, and, heck -- we will light this candle.
Marn? Everything okay with the car? Oh.
[ Chuckles .]
It's fine.
Just fine.
[ Crickets chirping .]
The doc said it was gonna be a tough birth, but Janie she stepped up.
The twister hit, the power went out.
She just kept on going.
No drugs.
Just pushed out this little dewdrop like she was nothing.
Then Janie started bleeding.
They tried, but [ Voice breaking .]
You'd think they'd know how to stop something like that.
I'm so sorry, Mike.
You think you could tell us what happened here? I went outside, after.
Collect myself.
A truckload of 'em pulled up.
The road crew? They didn't say nothing.
They just went off, attacking folks like they were possessed.
I tore back inside to get this little one.
I found that supply closet, and you know, been there since.
I could hear them, though.
Tearing through the halls.
Doctors, nurses -- they didn't care.
[ Clears throat .]
You said the road crew went nuts.
Did any of them come after you? Yeah, a few of them.
Did they cut you or bleed on you? They did.
I don't understand.
What are you saying? Saying that whatever this is, it might be transmittable.
What? We don't even know what this is.
Now you're saying it can be passed on? He's right.
I can feel it.
Inside.
Something's happening.
How long has it been since you were attacked? Three, four hours.
The real question is, how long till I become like them? [ Police radio chatter .]
[ Gun cocks .]
Brothers, sisters I know I have no right, I have no standing to ask you -- you anything, but these are desperate times, so ask I must.
I confess my transgressions, and I will accept whatever punishment you dole out.
Now, I I ask you to help me.
Please.
Save me from doing worse.
[ Indistinct talking .]
Well, you know where I stand.
No, you're not You can't be serious.
And if he goes out there, they'll kill him.
So, we just wait around for him to kill us? Oh, yeah, that's -- that's a plan.
Or we just wait for him to die.
There was a -- whatever you want to call it -- a "rabid" attacking the closet door, and he just died.
These things have a shelf life.
I can't believe what I'm hearing here.
No, he's right.
We lock him up, we find a cure.
- This is a hospital.
- Yeah, well, call it a hunch, but I don't think you're gonna find this in the medical books.
I didn't open up that closet door to find a cure.
Look, Mike, I'm sorry, but this is untenable.
I know.
That's why I thought maybe we could make a deal.
I'll go find somewhere quiet and lay low until this is over.
[ Baby coos .]
And you save my baby girl.
Yeah.
[ Baby cries .]
You've got yourself a deal.
[ Sobs .]
And I thank you for that.
I truly do.
But I wasn't talking to you.
I know you.
I've seen you in church since you were knee-high.
[ Baby fusses .]
Please.
I don't even own a Guinea pig.
[ Baby cries .]
There you go, little girl.
There you go.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
Why do I get the feeling that that is gonna bite us in the ass? You good? Oh, yeah.
Aces.
All right, let's gear up.
Sam: That might be tricky.
What's he doing? [ Baby fusses .]
- Dean - We made a promise.
To do what? Charge out there, guns blazing? We don't even know how to kill them.
She does.
Chest, right? I'm guessing heart.
This is madness.
No.
No, that is madness.
This is horse sense.
Save Mike's baby, but shoot Mike.
Tell me where that makes sense.
Look, we can just wait for them to die.
And how long is that? And when they infect others, how long is that? No, we stay here, that baby dies.
We did this, Sam.
Okay? We broke it, we bought it.
You know there's no other way.
[ Cellphone rings .]
[ Beep .]
Where the hell are you, Cass? Cass: I'mI'm okay.
You don't sound okay.
Dean, I am fine.
Besides, what I have, you can't help me.
What do you mean, what you have? Just please tell Sam -- Rowena escaped with the Book of the Damned and the codex.
Okay, forget Rowena.
Where are you? Now, you tell me -- the Mark Oh, really? You're worried about me after everything -- Dean, is it gone? Yes.
I'm good.
I mean, I'm not great.
That's two of us.
This is good news.
- Hey, Cass.
- Sam.
Okay, your turn.
Talk to us about the darkness.
Why would I talk about the darkness? Because it's free.
No, that can't be.
Removing the Mark opened some kind of lock.
Dean saw her.
The darkness is a woman? Well, that's what we're asking you.
We were hoping you could tell us what kind of DEFCON screwed we are.
[ Rustling .]
Cass? Sam, Dean Goodbye.
It may be some time before we see one another again.
Wait, Cass.
Cass! FBI, my ass.
Brothers.
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone but when I see you hanging about with anyone it's not unusual to see me cry I wanna die it's not unusual Took you long enough.
We came as soon as you called.
What do we call you? King.
What about the other white meatsuit? Secured.
We have another team and a witch removing Rowena's immobilization spell as we speak.
Hmm.
Is anybody hot? I'm hot.
I believe that's the menopause, sir.
Thank you.
What? Uh, it's nothing, sir.
Speak.
It's just, you barely escaped assassination.
You're arguably on the run from the most powerful witch on earth -- not to mention an angel of heaven And, uh? Y-you didn't call for help until after the orgy? Hmm.
I apologize For nothing.
Look, I get it.
I do.
We're gonna save that baby, okay? And we're gonna find Cass, and we're gonna stop the darkness.
Okay, so what are we talking about? The plan.
We have a plan, okay? It's the same plan as it's always been.
In order to get out, we go through.
And? How's that been working for us? We can't save Cass if we're stuck in some hospital, okay? Just like I can't strap on a time machine, go back, and tell Cain to shove that Mark up his ass or stop you from releasing the darkness.
Now, have we made mistakes? Yes.
Hell, yes.
And we can analyze each and every one of them over a couple of frosties when we're old and farting sawdust and out of this room! Right now, all I can do is I can gear up, I can head out, and I can save that freaking baby, which is exactly what I'm gonna do.
When did we forget how to do this? What? Dean, if we don't change -- right now -- all of our crap is just gonna keep repeating itself.
Hey, I-I don't even -- what? This -- this "kill first, question later.
" What happened to us? Hunting things -- we're good at that.
Sure, we're great at that.
But that's only half of the bumper sticker, man.
Sam, I am trying to save that baby.
And what about the others out there? You mean the ones trying to kill us? I mean the ones that are sick, the ones that are dying.
Yeah, who won't rest until they've infected us all.
So we just forget about a cure? What cure? Jenna's cure? There is always a cure.
You just have to want to find it.
Yeah, how are you gonna find it if you're dead? And around and around we go.
Saving people means all of the people, Dean.
Not just that baby.
Not just each other.
I unleashed a force on this world that could destroy it to save you.
And I told you not to.
And I'd do it again.
In a second, I would do it again.
And that is what I'm talking about.
This isn't on you.
It is on us.
We have to change.
What are you thinking? Get Jenna to the car.
Get her and the baby somewhere safe.
Without a shot.
And what are we gonna do about those things on our tail? They won't be on your tail.
No way.
You said it, Dean.
We broke this.
Yeah, we broke this, okay? We did.
I heard it in your voice when you agreed to take that child.
I get it.
You do what you do.
But you've got to let me do what I do, too.
[ Clattering .]
Hey! Over here! Come on.
Come and get me, you sons of bitches! [ Breathing heavily .]
[ Banging .]
[ Grunting .]
[ Banging continues .]
Don't do this.
Let me help you.
Come on.
[ Roars .]
The baby.
No.
The baby.
No.
We're not gonna hurt you, Mike.
As long as you leave that baby alone.
Mike.
Amara.
What? Her name is Amara.
[ Choking .]
[ Sputtering .]
Ahh.
Daddy's home.
What? Sir There are rumors from Hell.
Rumors? The Darkness has been released.
The Darkness? Please.
Myth.
It's a bedtime story.
Something that daddy demons threaten toddler demons with to get them to eat their vegetables.
Even if it was true, what's the concern? Darkness, King of Hell -- natural allies.
It's just -- something happened, sir In the cage.
What? Uh, they said it sounded like a frightened animal.
All of hell heard -- like someone was going crazy.
The rumor is that Michael or Lucifer -- one of them is trying to warn us.
About the darkness.
Ridiculous.
Except Half of Hell is sort of freaking out, sir.
What do we do? After Metatron escaped, we moved the door to heaven.
Yeah, smart.
You know, to prevent further incidents.
Of course.
I would have done the same thing.
Before we go back, we need to find a witch or someone who knows spellcraft to remove the Ugh! I don't understand.
You're not taking me to heaven.
No.
We're not.
[ Screaming .]
[ Engine shuts off .]
Oh, you good? Yeah.
Baby.
Poop.
What could go wrong? Godspeed.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
Right.
Listen, I know things might seem dark right now -- hell, call it pitch-black.
And you may not be able to see it, but your way back is right there.
You and her.
You're gonna help each other.
Joy comes in the morning.
My grandma leads a Bible study.
Ah.
Well, let's go with that.
[ Beep .]
[ Cellphone rings .]
Hey, you good? Yeah, about 40 miles outside of town.
As far as I can tell, it's isolated to Superior.
Well, that's something.
How about you? You okay? What'd you expect? Like it or not, I'm gonna find a cure.
Yeah, I know you are.
Man, things are screwy right now.
I know we don't have any answers, but at least we got one win, you know? I hear you.
All right, I'm gonna run Jenna up to her grandmother's.
Shouldn't be more than a few hours.
Then we clean up that town.
We find the Darkness, and we kick her ass.
Yeah, that's great, Dean.
Thatsounds like a plan.
[ Beep .]
If you're as bad as they say you are, why haven't you hurt me? For the same reason that you'll never hurt me.
We're bound, Dean.
We'll always be bound.
You helped me.
I helped you.
No matter where I am, who I am We will always help each other.
[ Baby coos .]
