FADE IN: EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD STREET - NIGHT It is late, when its said all the lunatics are out. Theres not much activity. A few shady figures are seen lurking in the shadows, drug dealers and pimps looking to sell the illegal. A young girl with a shapely figure walks seductively along the sidewalk. Whenever a stray car passes by she makes sure to display her body. Even with all the rejections, GRACE is determined to get at least one client tonight. GRACE (talking to herself) No worries. Youll find someone. Youve gotta. A MYSTERIOUS MAN appears from around the corner and approaches Grace. He is clean shaven and wearing a suit and tie, the image of complete respectability. GRACE (CONTD) Hey honey, you lookin for some love tonight? MYSTERIOUS MAN Oh Im lookin for something alright. GRACE Well you found me. Now what are you gonna do about it? The man licks his lips in contemplation, clearly filled with desire. MYSTERIOUS MAN My my, you are a fine specimen. Its a shame. GRACE Whats a shame? MYSTERIOUS MAN That youll have to be killed. Grace takes a step back, eyes wide with terror.

2. MYSTERIOUS MAN (CONTD) Dont scream now sweetheart. Grace turns to run. Rounding the corner she comes to a sudden halt as the man appears in front of her. GRACE Get away from me you creep. MYSTERIOUS MAN Come now sweetheart. Lets do this the easy way, huh? He begins to push her back against the wall and reaches out to grab her. GRACE No! She forces her arms out in defense, and upon touching him, the man seizes up, lights up from the inside, and crumbles to the ground. Horror taking over, Grace looks down at the man and screams. CUT TO BLACK: FADE IN: INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - DAY Its dark as all hell in the warehouse. coming from SAM and DEANS flashlights. The only lights are

The Winchester brothers hold their equipment like trained professionals, walking stealthily MOS throughout the building, on the prowl. Sam walks in a crouch to remain astride with his brother, but sometimes falls back while Dean takes the lead. They cover each others backs like practiced choreography. Suddenly, a low whimper is heard up ahead of them. Sam and Dean exchange a worried look, nod, and quickly round the corner only to find nothing. Their bodies relax and they drop their arms to the side at the same time. SAM I dont think the djinn is here, Dean.

3.

DEAN Its gotta be Sammy. Theres no better nest in town for it. Both are still looking about warily. Suddenly, Dean is grabbed from behind and thrown against a wall. He looks unconscious. SAM Dean! Sam turns just in time to block a hit from the djinn. He attempts to stab him with the knife but the djinn dodges. A fight between the two ensues. The djinn has Sam up against the wall with his own knife at his throat. DEAN Hey, you bastard. How about you take it in the throat? Dean thrusts his knife up into the djinns skull, merciless. Sam slumps to the floor, breathing deeply and in pain. holds out a hand to help him up. DEAN (CONTD) You alright there Sammy? Fine. SAM Just a little bruising. Dean

With the few words of concern exchanged between the two brothers out of the way, they make their way back out to the Impala. Dean saunters over to his baby, caressing the hood. Sam follows behind with long strides, arms swinging by his side. EXT. BACK OF WAREHOUSE - DAY SAM That was a close one back there man. DEAN Nah, were fine. Sides, whats life without a little near death experience from time to time? SAM Near death? Dean, how many times have we actually died already?

4.

Dean shrugs nonchalantly. Sam rolls his eyes as they both enter the Chevy. DEAN Well I dont know about you but Im starving. Lets grab some food and go. Dean puts his car in drive, revving the engine, ready to peel out when his phone rings. He answers, seeing that its BOBBY calling. DEAN (CONTD) Yeah. BOBBY (V.O.) Where are you boys? Illinois. DEAN Why?

BOBBY (V.O.) I need you to look into something for me over there, in Chicago. DEAN Whatre we dealing with? BOBBY (V.O.) Not sure yet. Let me know when you get there and Ill give you another call. A click is heard on the other line and Dean hangs up the phone. He puts the car in drive and pulls out. SAM Wherere we going? DEAN Chicago. Sam pulls out a road map and Dean turns up his music. They cruise along with the windows rolled down and classic rock blasting from the stereo. The same old routine for the brothers.

5.

INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY Sam and Deans duffel bags lay open on the twin beds. Clothes remain tossed haphazardly in the bags, but weapons lay out on the bed. Sam works on cleaning a rifle while Dean talks on the phone with Bobby. INTERCUT - MOTEL ROOM/BOBBYS HOUSE DEAN Alright Bobby, were here. Now whats so important in Chicago? BOBBY All the signs of your usual demonic activity, but magnified. DEAN Whadya mean? BOBBY Electrical storms. Drastic drops in temperature, you know the usual. But the missing persons and murders stats are off the charts. DEAN How bad are we talking here? BOBBY So far, twenty missing girls, in the past three days alone. And ten murders in the same time. DEAN Well that cant be good. BOBBY Thats not the strangest part. the murders were priests. DEAN Whoah, someones killing off all the padres? Why? BOBBY Thats the suspicious part. Smells like ritual to me, but Im gonna need you boys to investigate. All

6.

DEAN Alright, where exactly? BOBBY Bridgeport. Thats where its all happening. DEAN Were on it. Dean hangs up the phone and sits on the other bed picking up his .45 Colt. The brothers continue doing maintenance on their weapons without looking at one another. SAM Whats Bobby got for us? DEAN Well be heading to Bridgeport to investigate. Sam stops for a moment and looks at Dean with a sardonic expression. SAM So whats it gonna be today? or CIA? FBI

Dean gives Sam a smirk and gets up, packing his equipment in the duffel bag. Sam follows suit. EXT. BRIDGEPORT - DAY Sam and Dean walk out of the Chevy and head toward the street corner. SAM So, whatve we got? DEAN Lots of missing girls. usual. SAM Anything else? Uh, yeah. priests. DEAN A bunch of murdered More than

7. SAM Sounds like our kind of thing. They take a look around and see destitution and dilapidation. SAM (CONTD) But this place is shady even for us. You sure we got something? A BEAUTIFUL GIRL passes by and winks at Dean. DEAN Whoah, dont be so quick to judge. Lets give this place a chance, see what it has to offer. Sam rolls his eyes. DEAN What? Dude, cmon. Its a job. And Bobby wouldnt ask if it wasnt important. SAM Alright, where do we start? Beautiful Girl beckons Dean to an alley. DEAN How about over there? He starts following after the girl that just passed by. SAM Really? You do know what her job is. How much help could she possibly be in this situation? Dean stops walking and looks back at his younger brother. DEAN Sam, thats exactly why she can be useful. These girls know everyones dirty little secrets. Maybe shes heard something. Sam gives in and follows Dean into the alley. SAM Uh, excuse me Miss. Would you mind answering a few questions for us?

8.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL Miss? Boy, we dont hear that much around here. What a gentleman. Sam flashes Dean an awkward glance. BEAUTIFUL GIRL (CONTD) What can I do for you, sugar? DEAN Well we were hoping you could enlighten us on whats been going on around here. BEAUTIFUL GIRL In regards to? SAM The girls gone missing. BEAUTIFUL GIRL Who are you guys exactly? Sam and Dean flash their fake FBI badges simultaneously. BEAUTIFUL GIRL Agents Tipton and Downing, huh? What do the feds care about a few missing hookers? SAM There are several missing persons reported in just the last three days. Its of great concern to us. BEAUTIFUL GIRL Well, I guess I could try to help you. It would be my civic duty, now wouldnt it? Follow me. INT. THE RENDEVOUS - DAY Sam and Dean follow the Beautiful Girl into a dimly lit building, the only light a red glow from the lamps set at the bar and each table. Countless girls walk around scantily clad, throwing flirtatious smiles, and lusty winks. Sam stands awkwardly by the doorway, but Dean looks like a kid on Christmas morning.

9.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL Well boys, here you go. Enjoy your time at The Rendezvous. Beautiful Girl walks away, swaying her hips provocatively. Dean puts an eager hand on Sams shoulder. DEAN Sam, did we die again? swear Im in heaven. Cause I

SAM Yeah, alright Cassanova. Lets just focus on the job at hand. DEAN Oh theres a job at hand alright. SAM Cmon man, seriously? Theres missing persons and murders to look into. Dean sobers up for a moment and straightens his blazer. DEAN Yes, youre absolutely right. serious matter. Very

A group of call girls beckon to Dean from the bar, blowing him kisses. His moment of gravity is gone. DEAN (CONTD) And Im gonna go do the job, right over there. Dean walks away as Sam looks at him with aggravation. lets it go and turns to look around. Sam

He is unsure of where to begin. Hesitantly, he walks over to a BLONDE that coquettishly summons him with a single finger. BLONDE (with a Southern accent) Well hey there big guy. You look a little lost. Why dont you let me help you find your way? The Blonde is grabbing his hands lightly, but Sam pulls back uncomfortably.

10.

SAM Um, no thanks. I just have a few questions for you. BLONDE Well ask away handsome. As Sam goes about asking his questions, Dean is doing some investigating of his own. He is surrounded by gorgeous girls, all fighting for his attention. DEAN Alright ladies. Now my names Agent Downing and I have a few questions for you. Anyone know about the missing girls? None of the girls are paying attention to what he has to say. They are all just trying to bag a client. Grace has shown up though and takes a different interest in Dean. GRACE Who wants to know? Dean turns away from the girls and looks toward Grace. FBI. DEAN And you are?

GRACE Why does the FBI care about some missing call girls? DEAN Why wouldnt we have an interest in such a high number of missing persons? Dean is all business now and Grace can tell that hes sincere. She takes a moment and decides if theres anyone to tell her secret to, its this Agent Downing character. She leans in close and Dean follows suit. GRACE Can I tell you a secret? DEAN Absolutely. Im the law. trust me. You can

11.

GRACE I saw something kinda weird the other day. Deans interest is piqued. his territory now. This was starting to sound like

The other girls hanging around start to disperse with snide remarks. GRACE (CONTD) (looking at the leaving girls) Im not crazy. I know what I saw. Dean touches her hand lightly to remind her that he was still there and as a reassurance. DEAN Its alright. I believe you. what did you see? GRACE Lets not talk here. She takes him by the hand as if he were another customer to lead him to a private room. Dean catches Sams eye. At first Sam thinks his brother is messing around on the job, but soon sees Dean is signaling him to follow. Intrigued by what could be going on, he looks back to the Blonde he had been interviewing. SAM Excuse me, miss. I need to discuss something with my partner. BLONDE Well dont be long now honey. I got a special treat waiting for you when you come back. Eager to get away from the Blondes flirtations, Sam practically runs after Dean and Grace. INT. PRIVATE ROOM - DAY Sam closes the door behind them and looks over to his brother. Now

12.

SAM Whats going on? DEAN Grace, this is my partner Agent Sam Tipton. Sam, this is Grace. Grace gives a small wave of her hand. She twiddles her thumbs for a second and bites her lower lip. GRACE First, I want to start by pointing out that Im not crazy. SAM Its alright Grace. We believe you. Just tell us what you know. GRACE Well, it happened the other night. I was out working my shift on the street, and I was approached by this man. Sam and Dean shift on their feet, looking at one another, knowing where this was leading. GRACE (CONTD) This guy, he looked normal. I mean, he was wearing a suit and all, real business type. Actually, wasnt sure what he was doing around these parts. DEAN This man, did you see his eyes. Grace gasps. She wasnt expecting them to know that much of what shed seen. GRACE Yeah. They were fine at first, but suddenly they flashed black. I mean completely black. The brothers are getting anxious. this is heading. They are not liking where

SAM Grace, did he want something from you?

13.

GRACE Yeah, my life. He wanted to kill me, the bastard. DEAN Wait, kill you? Thats it? Clearly this was not what

The brothers look at one another. they expected.

GRACE What do you mean thats it? else would a psycho want? DEAN Sorry, I didnt mean--

What

SAM Nevermind. If he wanted to kill you howd you get away? GRACE Im not sure, but when he reached out for me, I just put my hands up to push him off and... Grace pauses, unsure if she should say it out loud. And? DEAN What?

GRACE When I touched him, he sort of burned up, from the inside. I killed him. It was an accident. Thats never happened before. The brothers stare at Grace for a minute, eyes wide with surprise. They look at each other, knowing theyve encountered something new. INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY Dean lays back in his bed reading a library book on supernatural beings. Sam reads an article on his laptop concerning supernatural powers. Both yawn, having it seems been at it for hours. Dean drops the book hes holding to pick up the next one.

14.

Sam starts clicking away at different links on the webpage hes viewing. Their eyes start to droop. Finally, they both give up. closes his laptop. Dean closes his book and Sam

SAM I just dont get it. Sam turns around in his seat to face his brother. SAM (CONTD) How could a normal girl just kill a demon with her bare hands? DEAN I dont think shes a normal girl. No normal human being has that kind of power. SAM Yeah, but what then? DEAN I dont know. Theres a pause as both brothers try to think of a reasonable explanation for what Grace did. SAM Do you think she was lying? DEAN I dont think so. She was genuinely freaked out. SAM Could she be hiding something? DEAN Its possible. Maybe she hasnt come completely clean to us. SAM Only one way to find out. Both Winchesters get up, ready to head back to The Rendezvous.

15.

INT. THE RENDEZVOUS - NIGHT Dean and Sam meet with Grace in a private room in The Rendezvous. A twin sized bed takes up most of the space. shabby little dresser sits in the corner with a random assortment of perfumes, deoderants, and condoms. Grace sits on the edge of the mattress, Sam pulls up a rickety chair by the dresser, and Dean remains standing, arms crossed, by the doorway. DEAN Grace, you said before that what happened the other night had never happened before. GRACE Well yeah, I mean, I think I would have remembered if it had. Im not lying. SAM Were not accusing you of lying. We just want the whole truth. Graces eyes flicker back and forth between Sam and Dean. Sam prods her with a look of sympathy while Dean stares her down. Grace, help. that. youre SAM (CONTD) please. We want to But we need your help to do So if theres something not telling us... A

GRACE Well, Ive never killed anyone before but... She bites her lip and plays with her fingers. over to where she is sitting, looming. But what? DEAN What happened? Dean walks

GRACE Well, I mean, its weird. But its true. I promise Im not making this up.

16.

SAM Grace, we believe you.

What is it? Like

GRACE Sometimes, things happen. magic I guess.

DEAN Magic? Like Harry Potter with wands and spells? GRACE Not exactly. I dont know how it happens. Its hard to explain. Try. SAM Please. She knows she has

Grace closes her eyes and takes a breath. to push herself forward. GRACE When I was younger, me. And sometimes, really scared, like die kind of scared, eyes and suddenly I

my dad abused when I got Im about to Id close my was gone.

DEAN Gone, what do you mean gone? Grace stands up to look Dean in the eye. GRACE I mean gone. Out of harms way. It just happened. Sam takes a step forward and puts a hand on Deans shoulder to push him back a step. SAM You said things happened? What other things could you do? GRACE Sometimes if I prayed hard enough, sick people would get better. And once when my cat died, I brought it back to life. Sam and Dean look at one another, brows furrowed. Sam nods his head, begins to walk outside and Dean follows.

17. EXT. OUTSIDE THE RENDEZVOUS - NIGHT Sam paces back and forth for a bit, while Dean watches him. SAM Dean, are any of these things sounding familiar to you? DEAN Suddenly disappearing, bringing things back to life, killing demons with nothing but her hands? SAM The only person Ive seen do those things is Cas, and hes not a person. Understanding dawns on Deans face. DEAN You think she could be an angel and not know it? SAM Its possible. You remember Anna. DEAN Well yeah, but two fallen angels who dont remember who they are in one lifetime, what are the chances? Sam raises an eyebrow at Dean, waiting for him to think about what he just said. DEAN (CONTD) Chances, us, right. Good point. SAM I think its time to call in a favor from Cas. They are about to call out a prayer to their angel friend Castiel when they hear a woman scream in terror from inside The Rendezvous. Taking a beat to look at one another with concern, they jump into action. They run toward the door of The Rendezvous and try to barge in, but find the door locked off. Dean takes a step back and kicks the door open with a loud BANG.

18.

INT. THE RENDEZVOUS - NIGHT The brothers find devastation has hit the place. bartender is bleeding out on his counter. Girls are strewn across tables and on the floor. still hanging onto life, but just barely. The Some are

Sam and Dean take out their guns and take a defensive stance. Its quiet now, which means bad news. Without speaking, Sam indicates to Dean to go ahead of him while he checks on a nearby victim. Another high pitched scream is heard from a private room in the back. Dean sprints onward and Sam follows close behind. INT. PRIVATE ROOM - NIGHT Grace is pinned against a wall by a muscular man in a clean black suit. She is fighting fiercely to free herself though. The man is momentarily distracted when the brothers run in. He looks back and his eyes flash black to reveal demonic possession. GRACE Help! Sam SHOOTS at the man. It doesnt really do any damage, but its enough to make him step away from Grace. Dean pulls the demon knife out of the inside pocket of his jacket and charges forward. His arm lunges, striking at the mans chest. back, dodging. The man jumps

Sam runs forward to grab Grace and get her out of there. Hes SLAMMED sideways though, crashing over a dresser. Another demon has entered the room. While Sam is still on the floor, the demon starts beating him. DEAN Sam! The demon fighting Dean takes the opportunity to knock the knife out of his hand. Now its a bare fist fight.

19.

The brothers are fighting a demon each, taking hits and making some of their own, but an end isnt anywhere in sight. Deans demon has him by the throat, choking the life out of him. Suddenly, the demon lets go, screaming, burning up from within, and crumples to the floor. Grace stands behind him holding the knife, covered in blood. Dean takes a moment to make sure Grace is alright, then takes the knife from her and goes to help his brother. The demon hasnt noticed his fallen comrade and so doesnt see Dean coming for him. He plunges the knife into the demons back. arches back in pain, then falls dead. The demon

The brothers breathe relief, then look back at Grace, who stands by the doorway, shaking. INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT We see a shabby old motel room with peeling wallpaper from the sixties that has a garish pattern. Grace sits on the edge of a twin size bed, trembling. Dean and Sam apply ice packs to bruises, Sam sitting on the other twin bed, Dean pacing the room. DEAN Cas, get your ass down here, now! We need some serious help. There is a long pause as they wait for Castiel to show up. Sam and Dean share a look of frustration as they get no response. DEAN (CONTD) Cas! Dean is losing patience. He is about to bellow again when he hears CASTIEL speak behind him. CASTIEL Whats the problem? Dean turns about, walking up to the angel with purpose.

20.

DEAN We have a demon issue, and that one over there is in danger. Can you help? Castiel looks over at Grace, perturbed. He steps up to her, immediately places two fingers on her forehead, and closes his eyes. He opens his eyes and takes a step back, speaking to Dean now. CASTIEL Where did you find her? DEAN Bridgeport. In the, uh... GRACE At The Rendezvous, where I work. Its a brothel. Grace stares at the angel, awestruck. something the Winchesters dont. GRACE (CONTD) What are you? Castiel looks at her awkwardly. CASTIEL Who are your parents? GRACE I dont know. I was adopted. SAM Cas, you mind telling us what the hell is going on? CASTIEL Nephilim. DEAN Gesundheit. Castiel grabs Sam and Dean by the arms, then offers Grace his hand. CASTIEL We have to go. It seems she can see

21. DEAN Whoah, slow down man. all about?

Whats this

CASTIEL Shes a nephilim. It means shes a half angel, half human, and she shouldnt exist. The powers of heaven will come looking for her. SAM And thats bad? CASTIEL Very bad. DEAN Great, so now on top of demons we got dick angels to worry about again. Well, this just keeps getting better and better. GRACE Are you an angel? Castiel still offers Grace his hand. CASTIEL Yes. Please, trust me. for your own safety. This is

Grace waits a beat. Their eyes meet and they share a look of understanding. She takes his hand. INT. OLD CHURCH - NIGHT Castiel has take Sam, Dean, and Grace to an old out of use church as a temporary safe haven. Sam and Dean work on setting up runes that will keep other angels out. As Grace sits back and watches, Castiel cant help but keep an eye on her. She sees this and walks over to him. GRACE Can I ask you some questions, or is that not allowed? CASTIEL You probably shouldnt. The more you know the more danger youre in.

22.

GRACE Too late. Im already deep in it. Maybe a little information would actually help me out. Castiel ponders on it for a moment. He decides she should know some things and nods his head to say its alright to ask questions. GRACE (CONTD) First off, you said Im a nephilim? CASTIEL Yes. One of your parents was an angel that procreated with a mortal. GRACE Is there any way to know which angel? CASTIEL No. Nothing I can do. He or she would have to come claim you as their own. Grace looks a little disappointed at this news. GRACE If Im half angel, does that mean I can go to heaven when I die? CASTIEL You still have a mortal soul, so that would depend on your morals. GRACE Guess thats a no. Castiel gives her a sympathetic look. referring to. CASTIEL Dont give up so quickly. always a chance. Grace does not look convinced. from the subject. He know what shes

Theres

She decides to move away

GRACE Can you teach me how to use my powers?

23.

CASTIEL I may have to. Now that you are aware of them youll have to control them. Good. GRACE Lets start.

CASTIEL Now is not the best time. You need to hide out and using your powers at the moment will send out a radar to heaven that you dont want. GRACE And if Im found right now? What then? How do I protect myself? Castiels stoic mask slips for a moment as his lips quirk momentarily into a smile. He gestures for her to follow him. EXT. OUTSIDE THE RENDEZVOUS - NIGHT A woman in leather pants and jacket approaches the girls outside The Rendezvous. Her eyes flash to reveal that she is a DEMON but the girls dont see. DEMON You girls have any positions open? Wary, nobody answers the stranger at first. with them. DEMON No, nothing? How useless. Beautiful Girl steps forward from the group. BEAUTIFUL GIRL If you dont have any business here, then I suggest you leave. DEMON Oh, but I do have business. of business. Plenty She is playing

A swarm of men in clean black suits come out of hiding and surround the area. All their eyes are black and they all have vicious smiles on their faces.

24.

DEMON (CONTD) So, who wants to be a good little girl and help me out? How about you? She steps toward Beautiful Girl and grabs her face. Beautiful Girl flinches, trying to get out of her grasp. BEAUTIFUL GIRL Let go of me you bitch. DEMON Now that wont do. Lets get some respect out of you. She throws Beautiful Girl down to the ground and kicks her in the stomach. All the other girls are frozen in fear. No one wants to run forward and help for fear of being next. She picks Beautiful Girl back up. DEMON (CONTD) Lets try this again. Can you help me? BEAUTIFUL GIRL What do you want? DEMON I want the nephilim. BEAUTIFUL GIRL The what? She slaps Beautiful Girl. DEMON The little freak you have hiding out here. Beautiful Girl realizes who shes talking about. BEAUTIFUL GIRL You mean Grace? Shes gone. The Demon is not pleased to hear this news. DEMON Where is she?

25.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL I dont know. I saw her leave with a couple of clients. She might be doing a private job. DEMON What did they look like? clients. These

BEAUTIFUL GIRL One was freakishly tall and bulky, the other was a real looker. The Demon wraps her hand around Beautiful Girls throat. She knows who the two clients were. Beautiful Girl chokes and coughs, squirming. The Demon lets her go to drop to the ground. at the girl and sneers. DEMON Youve served your purpose. She reaches down and snaps Beautiful Girls neck. back up at her army of demons. DEMON (CONTD) We have some Winchesters to hunt. EXT. BOBBYS JUNKYARD - DAY Dean, Sam, and Grace pull up into Bobbys yard in the 67 Chevy Impala. A well worn path in the gravel crunches underneath its tires. The parked Chevy gleams, standing out from the background of banged up, rusting cars waiting for their after life. The three approach Bobbys dilapidated front door, the splintering wooden steps creaking beneath their shoes. INT. BOBBYS HOUSE - DAY The Winchesters introduce Grace to Bobby. She takes a seat at Bobbys old desk, cluttered with books, maps, and documents. The sun filters through the grimy windows, giving just enough light to illuminate the library of ancient texts in the back on a tall bookshelf. She looks She looks down

26.

Grace takes a look around, admiring the mans antique looking decor. The walls are designed with a scarlet and gold pattern. A rug with a similar pattern lies dusty across the floor. She is intrigued by a curious design on the ceiling painted in red. It looks like an intricate mix of a pentacle and Star of David. Symbols and letters surround it in strategic placements. BOBBY Whatve you boys got for me? DEAN Well according to Cas, Grace here is a nephilim? BOBBY Youre kidding me. DEAN I wish I was. So what do you know about em? BOBBY Not much other than the usual lore. Half human, half angel. SAM Well demons and other angels are after her. So we need to figure out why and fast. BOBBY Guess we better get to work. MONTAGE - PREPARATION FOR BATTLE TO COME INT./EXT. BOBBYS HOUSE - DAY -- Sam types at his computer. Bobby and Dean leaf through the librarys collection of books. -- Castiel instructs Grace on how to transport her body from one point to another. She shuts her eyes tight but is unsuccessful.

27. -- Bobby spreads out 3 or 4 books across his desk. His eyes move rapidly between each book. His lips move in silence. -- Castiel positions Grace in a manner that will help her control the power to transport. She tries again, and this time succeeds. He looks about, wondering where she went. -- Grace lands with a THUMP on her back on Bobbys front porch. -- Castiel finds her and suppresses a smirk. -- Bobby pours three glasses of whiskey and passes one to each brother while keeping one for himself. -- Grace has mastered transporting and is now learning how to optimize her strength for fighting. -- Dean lies asleep on the couch, open book on his chest. Sam sees this and throws a pen at his face. Dean startles awake, making a disgruntled face at his brother. -- The research continues. END MONTAGE EXT. BOBBYS JUNKYARD - DAY Grace leans against a jalopy as Castiel stands in front of her. He places two fingers on her forehead as when they first met. CASTIEL Im going to help you this time, but after this youll have to do it on your own. GRACE What are you doing? CASTIEL Helping you focus your sight. As nephilim you can see my true form. GRACE Like I did back at the motel? Hey wait, how come I havent seen it since then? CASTIEL Because you didnt have control of your powers. They worked erratically before.

28.

Grace scrunches her nose and sneezes. Sorry. GRACE It tickled. Grace blinks rapidly,

Castiel smiles and steps back. allowing her sight to adjust.

Her eyes widen as she sees a glow so bright it would burn out normal human eyes. GRACE (CONTD) My God, youre gorgeous. CASTIEL Its basically how we all look. GRACE Do I glow too? CASTIEL Not as brightly, but yes. Grace cocks her head to the side. GRACE What about wings? too? Her eyebrows furrow.

Do I have those

CASTIEL No. But obviously you can still transport without them. GRACE You mean thats how you do it. fly? CASTIEL Yes. GRACE Wicked. Grace and Castiel remain still, only smiling at one another for a minute. Finally, Castiel reaches out his hand to lead her back inside. She takes it without hesitation. You

29.

INT. BOBBYS HOUSE - DAY Grace and Castiel have rejoined the group in Bobbys living room. Sam and Dean stand by Bobbys desk, trying to read over his shoulder. Dean sees that Grace is still holding Castiels hand. throws the angel a sly wink. BOBBY This is not looking good boys. SAM What is it? BOBBY Remember when I said the whole thing sounded like ritual to me? DEAN Yeah. BOBBY Well, I was right. Sort of. They silently He

Sam and Dean look at Bobby with confusion. urge him to elaborate.

BOBBY (CONTD) It wasnt the padres they needed for the ritual. Those poor souls were probably killed in the demons search for Grace. DEAN Well what do they need Grace for? BOBBY Blood of the nephilim. Its whats needed to open the gate and, well, it aint good. Gate? SAM What gate?

BOBBY Sacrificing Grace would let those bastards open the gate to some big kahuna downstairs.

30.

CASTIEL Mammon. SAM What? CASTIEL The demons name is Mammon. SAM Wait, isnt that supposed to be the spawn of Satan? CASTIEL That is the lore, yes. But hes not Lucifers son. He is, however, a very powerful demon that could destroy the planet. DEAN Wait. Cas, how do you know its Mammon? Castiel shakes his head in reprimand. CASTIEL Because hes the only demon that needs to be raised with nephilim blood. I should have known. Im sorry. Castiel looks away, ashamed. Grace forces him to face her.

GRACE Hey, its not your fault. Whats important now is that were getting somewhere. SAM Shes right. All we can do now is protect her and find out more. DEAN Like why they want to bring him out now. Why wait so long? Bobby, Sam, and Dean have turned away to discuss the possibilities. Grace bites her lower lip, deep in contemplation. Castiel walking away and follows. She sees
