EXT. IMPALA, HIGHWAY - NIGHT
"Drive faster, Dean," Sam ordered.
"I can't!" Dean yelled. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm amazing."
"You ever seen that many?" Zach asked.
"No. No way, not in one place."
"What the hell?" Dean wondered. "Damn it!"
Rob spoke an Enochian exorcism.
"Well that's something you don't see every day," Dean commented.
"You three all right?" Rob questioned.
"Peachy."
"Be careful. It's... dangerous around here."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait," Dean and Zach said.
"No need to thank us."
"No, hold up a sec!" Dean shouted. "Who are you?"
"We're the Sacrament Lutheran Militia."
Zach frowned. "I'm sorry—the what?"
"I hate to tell you this, but those were demons and this is the Apocalypse. So... buckle up."
EXT. ROAD - NIGHT
"Looks like we're in the same line of business," Sam noted.
"And among colleagues," Dean added. "That's a police-issued shotgun. That truck is, uh... inspired. Where'd you guys pick up all this crap?"
"You know you pick things up along the way," Paul said.
"Guys, come on. This whole corner of the state is nuts with demon omens. We just want to help. That's all."
"We're on the same team here," Sam told them. "Just talk to us."
"Follow us," Rob ordered.
EXT. CHURCH - DAY
"Dylan, it's a church," Jane said. "Headphones off."
"Yes, Mom," Dylan replied.
INT. CHURCH - DAY
"Who would have thought the Apocalypse could be so romantic?" Pastor Gideon said. "Marriage, family—it's a blessing. Especially in times like this. So hold on to that."
"Wedding?" Sam questioned with a scoff. "Seriously?"
"Yeah," Paul answered. "We've had eight so far this week."
EXT. CHURCH - DAY
"Congratulations!" the crowd exclaimed. "Yay!"
"So Rob tells me you boys hunt demons," Pastor Gideon said.
"Uh... yes sir," Sam and Zach replied.
"You missed a few."
"Yeah," Sam said. "Tell us about it. Any idea why they're here?"
Pastor Gideon shook his head. "They sure seem to like us, though. Follow me, gentlemen."
INT. CHURCH - DAY
"So you're a preacher?" Dean asked.
"Not what you expected, huh?" Pastor Gideon said.
"Well, dude, you're packing."
"Strange times."
INT. CHURCH BASEMENT - DAY
"Is that a twelve-year-old packing salt rounds?" Dean questioned.
"Everybody pitches in," Pastor Gideon told them.
"So, the whole church?" Sam asked.
"The whole town."
"A whole town full of hunters," Dean noted. "I don't know whether to run screaming or buy a condo."
"Well the demons were killing us. We had to do something."
"So why not call the National Guard?" Zach wondered.
"We were told not to."
"By who?"
Pastor Gideon didn't answer.
"Come on, Padre," Dean said. "You're as locked and loaded as we've ever seen. And that exorcism was Enochian. Someone's telling you something."
"Look, I'm sorry, I, uh, I can't discuss it," Pastor Gideon told them.
"Dad, it's okay," Leah reassured.
"Leah—"
"It's Sam, Zach and Dean Winchester. They're safe. I know all about them."
"You do?" Dean asked.
"Sure. From the angels."
"The angels. Awesome."
"Don't worry. They can't see you here. The... marks on your ribs, right?"
"So you know all about us because angels told you?" Sam asked.
"Yes. Among other things."
"Like the snappy little exorcism spell," Zach noted.
"And they show me where the demons are going to be, before it happens. How to fight back."
"Never been wrong," Pastor Gideon said. "Not once. She's very special."
"Dad..."
"And let me guess. Before you see something, you get a really bad migraine, you see flashing lights?" Dean said.
"How'd you know?"
"'Cause you're not the first prophet we've met. But you are the cutest." Pastor Gideon gave Dean a look. "I mean that with total respect, of course."
INT. PAUL'S TAVERN - DAY
Castiel's voicemail said, "You have reached the voicemail box of: I don't understand why, why do you want me to say my name?" Castiel pressed random buttons.
"Cas, hey, uh, it's me," Sam said. "So we are in Blue Earth, Minnesota, and um, we could use a little help. I... hope you get this." He turned to Paul and asked, "Busy night?"
"I'm telling you, since The End started, it's been like one long last call," Paul said. "That round's on me."
"Thanks."
"So, did you get a hold of Cas?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, I left him a message. I think. So uh, what's your theory? Why all of the demon hits?"
"I don't know. Gank the girl? The prophet, maybe?" Sam shook his head. "What?"
"Just these angels are sending these people to do their dirty work."
"Yeah. And?"
"And they could get ripped to shreds."
Zach shrugged. "We're all gonna die, Sam. In like a month—maybe two. I mean it."
Dean nodded. "He's right. This is the end of the world, but these people aren't freaking out. In fact they're running to the exit in an orderly fashion. I don't know that that's such a bad thing."
"Who says they're all gonna die?" Sam shot back. "What ever happened to us saving them?"
Church bells tolled and people left.
"Something Zach or I said?" Dean wondered.
"Paul," Sam called. "What's going on?"
"Leah's had another vision," Paul informed.
"Wanna go to church?" Sam asked.
"You know me—downright pious," Dean replied.
INT. CHURCH - DAY
"Three miles off Talmadge Road," Pastor Gideon said. Leah whispered to him. "Five miles. There are demons gathered. I...don't know how many, but a lot. Thank you, Leah. So, who's going to join me?"
"Wouldn't miss it," Rob replied.
"Someone's got to cover Rob's ass," Paul stated.
"We're in, Padre," Dean added.
"Thank you," Pastor Gideon said. "I'd like to offer a prayer. "Our Father in Heaven-""
"Yeah, not so much," Dean and Zach muttered.
"Help us to fight in your name. We ask that you protect us from all servants of evil. Guide our hands in defeating them, and deliver us home, safely. Thank you, Amen."

Pastor Gideon directed the crew to battle.

Sam sighed and said, "I guess that's what it's like, huh?"
"What?" Dean and Zach asked.
"Having backup."
"Dean. Sam. Zach," Dylan called.
"Yo," Dean answered.
"Hey. So, um, is—is that—is that cool that I get a ride back with you guys?"
"Hey, you've saved my ass twice already. One more time, you can drive. Get a beer?" He offered a beer. "Hey, you earned it. Don't tell your mom."
"Oh, believe me—I will not." He screamed.
"Dylan!" Dean and Zach yelled as Dylan was attacked by a demon and killed. "No!"
EXT. CHURCH - DAY
"Ma'am, we're just, um, very sorry," Dean apologized.
"You know... this is your fault," Jane retorted.
"Jane," Rob called. Come on."
INT. CHURCH - DAY
"I wish I knew what to say," Pastor Gideon said. "But I don't. I'm so sorry, Jane, Rob. There are no words. Dylan... I don't know why this happened. I don't know why any of this is happening. I got no easy answers. But what I do know is—Leah, honey?"
Leah fell and had a seizure.
"Leah, honey? Honey? It's okay sweetie," Pastor Gideon reassured. "It's okay."
"Dad, it's Dylan," Leah said.
"Just rest a minute, huh?"
"No, listen. Dylan's coming back."
"Jeez," Rob muttered.
"Jane, Rob... It's going to be okay. You'll see Dylan again. When the final day comes, Judgement Day, he'll be resurrected and you'll be together again. We'll all be together. With all our loved ones. We've been chosen. The angels have chosen us. And we will be given paradise on earth. All we have to do is follow the angels' commandments."
EXT. CHURCH - DAY
"No drinking, no gambling, no premarital sex," Sam said. "Dean, they basically just outlawed ninety percent of your personality."
"Yeah, well, whatever," Dean shot back. "When in Rome."
"So, uh... you're cool with it?" Zach asked.
"I'm not cool. I'm not, not cool. I'm just, look man, dude, I'm not a prophet. We're not locals. It's not my call. I'll catch up with you two."
INT. CHURCH OFFICE - DAY
"This a bad time?" Dean asked.
"In general," Leah replied. "Now's okay."
"Angel stuff really takes it out of you, huh?"
"Can't complain. I know you have it worse. So... what's on your mind, Dean?"
Dean sighed. "Don't take this the wrong way but... are you on the level?"
"About what?"
"About paradise."
"What about it?"
"I want to know what the angels are telling you. Everything."
"Well, uh..."
"You can skip the rainbows."
"There's gonna be a prize-fight. And... it's gonna get bad. But after we win—and we will—the planet gets handed over to the chosen. And... it's finally peaceful. No monsters, no disease, no death. You're just... with the people you love."
"Of course, that's if you can get past the velvet rope. Must be nice—being chosen."
"Well, Dean... you're chosen."
"Yeah, more like cursed."
"Must be hard. Being the Vessel of Heaven and having no hope."
INT. PAUL'S TAVERN - DUSK
"Hey. So what happened to, uh, "the Apocalypse is good for business?"" Sam asked.
"Oh yeah, right up until Leah's angel pals banned the good stuff," Paul replied. "Wanna help me kill some inventory?"
"Sure," Sam and Zach said.
"Don't get me wrong. I grew up here. I love this town, but uh, well, these holy rollers?"
"Yeah, yeah, we uh, we noticed you're not the praying type," Sam noted.
"Yeah, well, between you two and me, neither are half those guys. A couple of months back, they're all in here, getting wasted, banging the nanny. Now they're all Warriors of God. Cheers."
"Cheers," Sam and Zach repeated.
"Look, there's sure as hell demons. And maybe there is a God. I don't know. Fine. But I'm not a hypocrite. I never prayed before and I ain't starting now. If I go to hell, I'm going honest. How 'bout you two?"
"What about us?" Zach asked.
"Not true believers, I take it."
"He and I believe, yeah," Sam said. "We do. We're just. Pretty sure God stopped caring a long time ago."
Sam, Zach and Paul scoffed.
INT. GREEN VALLEY MOTEL - NIGHT
"Where you two been?" Dean asked.
"Drinkin'," Sam and Zach replied.
"You rebels."
"We'd have had more, um, but it was curfew," Sam said.
"Right."
"You hear they shut down the cell towers?" Zach questioned.
"No. That's, uh, news to me."
"Yeah. No cable, internet. Total cut off from the "corruption of the outside world." Which means all contact with Lily is cut off. Yay."
"Huh."
"Don't you get it?" Sam asked. "They're turning this place into some kind of fundamentalist compound."
"No, I get it."
"And all you've got's a "hmm?" What's wrong with you?"
"I get it. I just don't care."
"What?"
"What difference does it make?"
Zach frowned, staring between his brothers. "It makes a hell of a—"
"At what point does this become too far for you? Stoning? Poisoned Kool-Aid? The angels are toying with these people!"
"Angel world, angel rules, man," Dean reasoned.
"And since when is that okay with you?"
"Since the angels' got the only lifeboats on the Titanic. I mean, who exactly is supposed to come along and save these people? It was supposed to be us, but we can't do it."
"So what? You wanna, you wanna just want to stop fighting, roll over?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"Don't say that," Sam and Zach told him.
"Why not?"
"'Cause you can't do this," Sam said.
"Actually, I can."
"No you can't. You can't do this to me. Or to Zach. I got one thing, one thing, keeping me going. You think you're the only one white-knuckling it here, Dean? I can't count on anyone else. I can't do this alone."
"Dean."
"I got to clear my head."
"It's past curfew. It's past curfew."
INT. CHURCH - NIGHT
"Leah, what's wrong?" Elise asked.
"Daddy, can I talk to you for a second?" Leah questioned.
"Of course," Pastor Gideon replied, moving to the side. "Leah, honey, w-what is it?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They're just so angry."
"Who's angry?"
"The angels."
"Why are they angry?"
"They said... They said that we can't go to paradise."
"What? But we're doing everything they say!" Jane exclaimed.
"They said they gave clear commandments, but some people aren't listening."
"Who, Leah?" Rob wondered.
INT. MOTEL - NIGHT
"I got your message," Castiel said. "It was long, your message. And I find the sound of your voice grating."
"What's wrong with you?" Sam asked. "Are you... drunk?"
"No!... Yes."
"What the hell happened to you?" Sam and Zach questioned.
"I found a liquor store."
"And?"
"And I drank it. Why'd you call me?"
"Whoa," Sam said. "There you go. Easy. Are you okay?"
"Don't ask stupid questions. Tell me what you need."
"T-there have been these—these demon attacks. Massive, right on the edge of town. And we can't figure out why they're—"
"Any sign of angels?"
"Sort of," Zach replied. "They've been speaking to this prophet."
"Who?"
"This girl, Leah Gideon."
"She's not a prophet."
"Zach and I are pretty sure she is," Sam said. "Visions, headaches—the whole package."
"The names of all the prophets, they're seared into my brain. Leah Gideon is not one of them."
"Then what is she?"
EXT. STRIP MALL – NIGHT
Dean was walking and heard loud voices and smashing glass.
INT. PAUL'S TAVERN - NIGHT
"Please, guys, guys, guys!" Pastor Gideon yelled.
"I'm not going to tell you again!" Paul retorted.
"Take a breath, both of you!"
"You come onto my property, spouting some kind of crazy—"
"Sorry, Paul," Rob apologized. "There's no other way!"
"Come on! What country is this, huh?"
"Need a hand, Padre?" Dean asked.
"Just, everybody cool down for a minute!" Pastor Gideon said.
""Cool down," hmm?" Paul repeated. "My friends are trying to run me out of town. Do you think I should cool down?"
"I'm sorry, Paul," Rob said. "It is not our choice."
"Oh, come on. That's bull."
"You've got to go—for everyone's sake!"
"We grew up together. I stood up at your wedding!"
"Yes, you did," Jane replied. "But that was then. And now you're standing against the flock."
"That's not true. I fight with you."
"This is a town of believers, Paul. You are not a believer."
"Don't make this hard for us," Rob told him.
"Hard for you?" Paul shot back. "No. This is my home. You want me out of here? You'll have to drag me out."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't want to do this," Dean said.
"Get out of my—" Paul was cut off.
"No, no, no," Pastor Gideon interrupted.
"No one's gonna stop me from seeing my son again," Jane said, shooting Paul.
INT. MOTEL - DAY
"We went out looking for—You all right?" Sam asked.
"Yeah," Dean replied. "It's—it's not my blood. Paul's dead."
"What?!" Sam and Zach cried.
"Jane shot him."
"It's starting," Castiel informed.
"What's starting? Where the hell have you been?"
"On a bender."
"Did he—did you say "on a bender?""
"Yeah," Sam confirmed. "He's still pretty smashed."
"It is not of import. We need to talk about what's happening here."
"Well I'm all ears," Dean said.
"Well, for starters... Leah is not a real prophet."
"Well, what is she, exactly?" Zach asked.
"The whore."
"Wow," Dean commented. "Cas, tell us what you really think."
"She rises when Lucifer walks the earth. "And she shall come, bearing false prophecy." This creature has the power to take a human's form, read minds. Book of Revelation calls her "the Whore of Babylon.""
"Well, that's catchy."
"The real Leah was probably killed months ago," Sam said.
"What about the demons attacking the town?"
"They're under her control," Castiel replied.
"And the Enochian exorcism?" Zach questioned.
"Fake. It actually means, "you, um, breed with the mouth of a goat."" He was met with blank stares. "It's funnier in Enochian."
"So the demons smoking out—that's just a con? Why? What's the endgame?" Dean wondered.
"What you just saw—innocent blood spilled in God's name."
"You heard all that heaven talk. She manipulates people," Sam said.
"To slaughter and kill and sing preppy little hymns," Dean added. "Awesome."
"Her goal is to condemn as many souls to hell as possible," Castiel told them. "And it's... just beginning. She's well on her way to dragging this whole town into the pit."
"All right. So, then, how do we go Pimp of Babylon all over this bitch?"
INT. CHURCH BASEMENT – DAY
"I only wanted to... Did I make it worse?" Jane asked. "Did I make the angels angry?"
"Jane. The angels—they understand," Leah said.
"They do?"
"What you did was for the greater good."
"Yes. Yes."
"We all liked Paul. But he was a sinner, and he would have taken us down with him. You saved us."
"Thank you."
"How can that be okay?" Pastor Gideon asked. "She killed him. That sin is so much greater—"
"It's not a sin to strike down evil," Leah replied.
"But how can the angels—"
"You always taught me we have to have faith."
INT. MOTEL - NIGHT
Castiel put down a wooden stake on the table in front of Sam, Zach and Dean and said, "The whore can be killed with that. It's a stake made from a cypress tree in Babylon."
"Great," Dean replied. "Let's ventilate her."
"It's not that easy."
"'Course not."
"The whore can only be killed by a true Servant of Heaven."
"Servant, like..."
"Not you. Or me. Or Zach. Sam, of course, is an abomination. We'll have to find someone else."
INT. CHURCH - NIGHT
"The angels..." Leah began. "I don't know why they've chosen us. But they have. And today... Today, they told me the most important thing yet. Tonight, at midnight... I'm sorry. It's just that we knew this day would come, and it's here—the final judgement. Now, we need to do this right. We don't have much time. They angels said we're not ready. There are still a few elements that need to be taken care of. Sinners."
The crowd murmured and looked around at each other.
Pastor Gideon said to the crowd, "Now, uh, now, everybody calm down. Just hold on." He turned to Leah. "Leah, you're scaring these people."
"Now, I don't want us to panic, but we have to hurry," Leah told the crowd.
Pastor Gideon told Leah, "Stop it."
"I've been given instructions, names."
"Wait. Let's go. What are you doing? Stop it! You're going to get somebody killed." He grabbed Leah's arm.
"Let me go. Or the next sinner I name will be you."
EXT. CHURCH PARKING LOT - NIGHT
"Pastor David Gideon," Castiel called.
"Yeah. Who are you?" Pastor Gideon asked.
"I'm an angel of the Lord."
"Yeah, sure."
INT. MOTEL - NIGHT
"What the hell was that?" Pastor Gideon wondered.
"Yeah, he wasn't lying about the angel thing," Dean said. "Have a seat, Padre. We got to have a chat."
Pastor Gideon looked at the cypress stake and shook his head. "No. She's my daughter."
"I'm sorry, but she's not," Zach told him. "She's the thing that killed your daughter."
"That's impossible."
"But it's true," Sam said. "And deep down, you know it. Look, we get it—it's too much. But if you don't do this, she's going to kill a lot of people. And damn the rest to hell."
Dean picked up the stake and held it out to Pastor Gideon.
"It's just... Why does it have to be me?" Pastor Gideon asked.
"You're a Servant of Heaven," Castiel reasoned.
"And you're an angel."
"Poor example of one."
EXT. MOTEL - NIGHT
Dean closed the trunk of the Impala, walked around the driver's side, and reached in an open window. He grabbed a bottle of aspirin.
"Heads up," Dean said, tossing the bottle to Castiel.
"How many should I take?" Castiel wondered.
"You? You should probably just down the whole bottle."
"Thanks."
"Yeah, don't mention it. Yeah, I've been there. I'm a big expert on deadbeat dads. So... Yeah, I get it. I know how you feel."
"How do you manage it?"
"On a good day, you get to kill a whore."
INT. CHURCH BASEMENT - NIGHT
"Rob, Jane, please!" Elise begged. "Come on, it's me! It's Elise!"
"Sorry," Jane said. "Really. But you know we have to do this."
"We're putting them in the storage unit," Leah told the others.
"No! No!" Elise cried.
The crowd shouted and pushed, trying to get out.
"Jane, is that everyone?" Leah asked.
"Yeah," Jane replied.
"Okay, then. Get the kerosene." She noticed Jane's hesitation. "What?"
"There are kids in there."
"The angels named them for a reason. Jane... Your son needs you to do this."
INT. CHURCH OFFICE - NIGHT
Leah looked into a mirror in the wardrobe and showed her true face.
Castiel grabbed Leah and held her for Pastor Gideon.
"Daddy!" Leah cried. "Don't hurt me!"
"Gideon, now!" Sam and Zach yelled.
Leah chanted in Enochian, putting a spell on Castiel. "Pizin noco iad."
"Aah!" Castiel exclaimed.
Leah used a form of telekinesis to push away Pastor Gideon, Sam, Zach and Dean. She ran off while they got up.
"Gideon!" Sam called. "Wait! No!"
Castiel was left groaning on the ground.
INT. CHURCH BASEMENT – NIGHT
"Help me!" Leah begged. "He's a demon!"
The crowd fought Pastor Gideon as he came in, causing him to lose the cypress stake.
"Light the kerosene," Leah ordered.
"Come on, come on!" Dean cried.
The sinners locked in the storage room begged to be let out.
Sam tackled Rob before he could light the kerosene, and then threw the lighter across the room.
Leah knocked Dean down and Zach back with her telekinesis.
Dean reached for the cypress stake.
"Please. Like you're a servant of Heaven," Leah taunted.
"Let me go!" Jane cried.
"This is why my team's gonna win. You're the great vessel? You're pathetic, self-hating, and faithless. It's the end of the world. And you're just gonna sit back and watch it happen."
Dean grabbed the stake, punched Leah, and staked her.
"Don't be so sure, whore," Dean retorted.
Leah's body shook and the stake caught on fire. It exploded, leaving a burning hole where it entered her body.
"But... I don't understand. How are we supposed to get to paradise now?" Jane wondered.
"I'm sorry. Pretty sure you're headed in a different direction," Dean said.
Pastor Gideon attempted to stand. Sam grabbed him and helped him up.
"Gotcha," Sam told the pastor.
"Come on," Dean and Zach said.
EXT. CHURCH BASEMENT'S STAIRS – NIGHT
Dean, Zach and Sam had Castiel and Pastor Gideon and were helping them walk up the stairs.
"Dean, how did you do that?" Sam asked.
"What?" Dean replied.
"Kill her."
"Long run of luck held out, I guess."
"Last I checked, she could only be ganked by a servant of Heaven."
"Well, what do you want me to tell you? I saw a shot. I went for it."
Sam, Zach and Dean got Pastor Gideon and Castiel into the backseat of the Impala. Zach was between the pastor and the angel.
"All right," Dean said. "Here we go."
"Watch your head, now," Sam instructed and asked his eldest brother, "Are you gonna do something stupid?"
"Like what?"
"Like Michael stupid."
"Come on, Sam. Give me a break."
INT. MOTEL – NIGHT
"How's the head?" Dean asked.
"I'm seeing double," Pastor Gideon replied. "But that may be the painkillers."
"You'll be okay."
"No."
"Where you going?" Sam and Zach asked as Dean headed for the door.
"I'm just gonna grab some clean bandages out of the trunk," Dean told them. "Relax."
"There," Sam said. "How's that?"
Dean started the Impala and revved the engine. Sam and Zach ran out after him while Dean sped away.

EXT. FRONT PORCH - DAY
Dean knocked. Lisa Braeden answered.
"Dean," Lisa said.
"Hi, Lisa," Dean greeted. "I didn't have your number, uh, so..."
"No. No, it's okay. I'm—I'm... just surprised."
"How's Ben?"
"Good. Good. He's at baseball."
"You moved. It's a... nice house."
"Dean, you didn't come all the way here to talk about real estate. You all right?"
"No, not really."
"Well, what is it?"
"Look, I have no illusions, okay? I know the life that I live, I know how that's gonna end for me. Whatever. I'm okay with that. But I wanted you to know... that when I do picture myself happy... it's with you. And the kid. Since Kennedy doesn't seem to have any interest in me..."
"Wow."
"I mean, you don't have to say anything."
"No, I... I mean, I know. I know. I want to. Come inside. Let me get you a beer."
"I wish I could. Take care of yourself, Lisa."
"No, wait, wait! You can't just drop a bombshell like that and then leave."
"I know. I'm sorry. But I don't have a choice."
"Yeah, you do. You do. You can come inside and let me get you a beer. We can talk."
"Lisa, wait a minute. Things are about to get really bad."
"Like how? Like your kind of bad?"
"Worse. Next few days, the crap you're gonna see on your TV, it's gonna be downright trippy. Scary. But I don't want you to worry, because I'm making arrangements for you and Ben."
"Arrangements?"
"Whatever happens, you're gonna be okay."
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
"The people that I'm gonna see next, they're not gonna get anything from me without agreeing to a few conditions."
"Just... just come inside. Please. And whatever you're thinking of doing, don't do it."
"I have to."
"Just stay an hour. At least say bye to Ben."
"It's better if I don't." He kissed her. "Bye, Lisa."
