Original subtitles

I thought angels were supposed to be guardians.

Fluffy wings, halos, you know, not dicks.

Read the Bible.

Angels are warriors of God.

I'm a soldier.

CROWLEY: I think I know the identity of Lucifer's newest vessel.

I give you one Jefferson Rooney,

President of these United States.

I just know you'd make an amazing father.

A Nephilim has come into being.

- The offspring of an angel and a human. - SAM: Lucifer.

I can't have this baby.

- I'm afraid I'll have to insist. - (STRUGGLING)

(CHANTS IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(GRUNTS)

What about the girl?

RICK: Kelly Kline. She's a Presidential aide.

We don't know where she went, or if she's still alive.

MARY: What's happening?

Yeah, Dean. What's up?

- Billie? - The reaper.

I don't understand.

SAM: We made a deal.

Come midnight, a Winchester goes bye-bye.

We made a pact, bound in blood.

Break that, there's consequences, on a cosmic scale.

(GROANS)

- Cass, what have you done? - What had to be done.

Yeah, you made a deal. You made a stupid deal, and I broke it.

You're welcome.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

Unplugging things now. Hint-hint.

Yes. I'm almost finished.

You don't have to beat that game every night.

I disagree.

Fine, I'm gonna take this out, the time I get back, we are closed.

You leave. End of story.

WOMAN: You're too old for video games.

Oh.

Were you waiting to play?

Everyone deserves a turn.

(SCOFFS)

I'm sorry, have we met?

Have we?

Move out of my way.

Or?

Or I will move you.

Really? Go ahead, try.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Suit yourself.

(SIGHS)

Oh, Benjamin,

your little angel tricks won't work on me.

Who are you?

(GRUNTING)

No. Don't, please!

(LAUGHING)

(CHANTING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

That's right. Call your friends.

- (CHANT ECHOING) - (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

I've waited so long.

(SCREAMS)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Yeah, I was looking at that earlier.

(SIGHS) Cass has been busy, huh?

Yeah, busy not finding Kelly Kline, or her Rosemary's baby.

I mean, how does a chick like this just drop off the map?

I think that's what he's trying to figure out.

Hey, you hear from Mom yet?

Yeah, she called last night.

Says she's got a line on a shapeshifter in Atlanta.

I said we could come help, and she said don't bother.

Apparently, she's "got it."

(SCOFFS)

Then she's probably got it.

Yeah.

Mom's good.

I just think she jumped back into this a little quick, don't you?

I don't think we have the kind of mom who's gonna stay home

and make us chicken soup for dinner, you know? (SCOFFS)

- You talk to Cass yet? - No.

(CHUCKLES) So, what, you're just gonna

keep walking past each other in the kitchen, not saying a word?

Maybe.

Look, yes, Cass killed Billie, but he saved us,

he saved Mom.

How long are you gonna stay pissed?

I'm not pissed that he cares about us. You know, I'm grateful.

But Billie said

there would be cosmic consequences if that deal got broken.

- You have any idea what that means? - No.

Neither do I, but I'm pretty sure it ain't jellybeans and g-strings.

My point is, Cass thought he was doing the right thing.

CASTIEL: I was doing the right thing.

- You sure about that? - Yes.

Yeah? Well, I'm not so sure. And when the other shoe drops...

I'll deal with it. I have to go.

- Got a lead on Kelly? - No.

- This is personal. - Meaning what?

Another angel, an old friend, he called out for help.

Oh. Good, old reliable angel radio.

He was begging for help, and then he just stopped.

I need to know if he's still alive.

Yeah, all right. Well, we'll come with you.

Both of you?

Sure.

Yeah, we can help.

And make sure you don't do anything else stupid.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

- All right, who wants music? - I'm good.

You're... (GROANS)

Okay.

Cass, is there anything specific we should know about your friend?

All right.

Guys, you know what? This silent treatment thing, it's silly.

It's not gonna work.

Whatever we're walking into, we should,

you know, probably, have an actual plan.

(SIGHS) What do you wanna know?

- Oh, he speaks. - All right, enough.

Cass, you said when you heard Benjamin, he was screaming.

It was...

Look, Benjamin wouldn't call for help lightly,

and he wouldn't put himself in harm's way if he could help it.

Well, this Benjamin seems like he's pretty cool.

You know, like, he wouldn't make any half-cocked, kneejerk choices.

Yeah, you know what I like about him is that he's sarcastic,

but he's thoughtful

- and appreciative, too. - And what's that supposed to mean?

Okay, okay, the road, road.

- (CAR HORNS HONKING) - Dude, watch the road.

Got it.

Anything else, Cass?

(SIGHS) Benjamin is always very careful.

Long ago, he found a powerfully devout vessel in Madrid,

and her faith, it...

She gave him everything. Her trust, and her body...

Wait, so Benjamin's a woman?

Benjamin is an angel, his vessel is a woman.

But it's more than that. She's not just his vessel, she's...

She's his friend.

Yeah.

Benjamin would never put her in unnecessary danger.

Okay, well, if this Benjamin is so careful,

then what happened?

I don't know. That's what I need to find out.

(CHANTING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

The police report is calling it a stabbing.

Sure, yeah, that's the official story. I mean, I was outside.

I mean, dead woman?

No blood? Come on.

And these crazy burn marks?

It's a cult thing, right?

- That's why the FBI is... - Hey, get out.

- What? - Get out.

He means we can take it from here. Thanks.

Yup.

- We'll call you when we're done. - Dude? You all right?

No.

No. Benjamin and I, we fought together. He was a gifted soldier.

I don't know how this could have happened.

Got something.

Looks like we had a little angel-on-angel action.

This isn't Benjamin's blade.

(CHANTS ECHOING)

What?

Castiel.

We have to go. Now.

Uh...

All right, who are we meeting?

His name is Ishim.

Before I commanded my own flight of angels,

my own battalion, I served under him with Benjamin.

- And you think he knows what's going on? - We'll find out. You wait here.

Whoa, wait. Excuse me?

Ishim said to come alone.

He doesn't like humans.

If I plan to do anything else stupid, I'll let you know.

(BELLS CHIMING)

Mirabel.

Ishim.

You kept your vessels all this time. I'm impressed.

We are not careless.

ISHIM: But you, Castiel?

I liked the old you better.

MIRABEL: We've been waiting.

I suppose it does take longer to get places now without our wings.

You had a hand in that, correct?

Now, Mirabel, some angels think of Castiel as a hero.

After he left us, he had his own flight to command.

Balthazar, Uriel, great soldiers.

Both dead now, of course.

You had a hand in that, too.

So is he a hero?

Is he a spanner in the works? I don't know.

I am not a hero.

But sometimes doing the right thing requires sacrifices.

True.

But it just always seems that

it's other angels sacrificing for your good deeds.

Their wings. Their lives.

Are you here to insult me or talk about Benjamin?

Can't we do both?

MIRABEL: In the years since we lost our wings,

two others from our flight have been murdered.

Like Benjamin.

We're all that's left.

Why didn't I know about this?

We didn't think you'd care.

And you're gonna storm in

right now.

(BELL CHIMING)

- Hey. - Dean.

Feel a little left out over there. Scoot over.

I said to come alone.

These are my friends. My friends who don't listen very well.

SAM: How you doing?

- I'm... - We know who you are.

Check outside to see if there are others.

I only brought Sam and Dean.

Far as you know.

(DOOR OPENS)

Mirabel, right?

- (SCREAMING) - (GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

So who wants some pie?

You know, when I knew Castiel, he was a soldier.

He was a warrior.

He was an angel's angel.

Now look how far he's fallen.

How about a little coffee with that sugar?

No wings. No home.

Just a ratty old coat, and a pair of poorly-trained monkeys.

Oh, well, you can go to Hell.

Dean, it's fine.

No. No, it's not.

Sam, this isn't about me, it's about Benjamin.

Now, that is refreshingly accurate.

But since you brought a couple of extra people to our little chitchat,

we should go somewhere more private.

I have a safe house nearby.

I'll go get Mirabel.

So nice to see you, old friend.

Have some pie.

(BELL CHIMES)

Wow. (CLEARS THROAT)

Hell of a friend, Cass.

Why do you let him talk to you like that?

If Ishim can help me find whoever killed Benjamin, then I have to...

Okay, yeah, look, I get that we need super dick there,

but, I mean, come on.

The angels that I served with are being killed.

So I will put up with lshim, I will put up with everything else,

and so will you. I have to go.

(BELL CHIMING)

Mirabel?

You. (GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(CHUCKLING)

You can't smite me, Ishim. I'm not powerless anymore.

But how...

- No! - Castiel, kill her!

I know you.

Hey!

I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt any human.

Just let me finish what I've started.

Not gonna happen, patches.

(DEAN GRUNTS)

I can't see.

Sam? Hey.

- I can't see. Did you get a plate? - Yeah, I got it.

Who the hell was that?

Ishim, let me tend to your wound.

I'm fine.

Ishim, how is she still alive?

Wait a second, you know her?

Yes.

You don't owe them an explanation.

DEAN: Okay, hang on now.

One-Eyed Willy back there wasn't trying to kill us. She was after you.

So talk, before she kicks in the damn door.

Before the Apocalypse, angels, um...

Well, we rarely came to Earth.

Yeah, basically never, right?

Right.

Except this once,

many years ago, there was an anomaly.

- An "anomaly"? - They won't understand.

Cass.

What's going on?

Castiel, are we all here?

- Yes. - Why are we even on Earth? It's so wet.

Stop complaining.

We're here, because one of our fellow angels has taken a human wife.

They also have a small daughter.

A Nephilim? You're sure?

Father has wings, mother's a primate, and this child

has a human soul mixed with angelic grace. And that's...

Dangerous.

Nephilim are forbidden by the oldest laws in Heaven.

We jumped down here for a kid?

FEMALE ANGEL: Nephilim grow up.

- They grow into their power, and then... - Entire worlds die.

And so we've come to set things right.

Akobel, please.

Go back inside.

Just...

(INAUDIBLE)

You have no business here.

Me?

You were sent here to observe humanity,

to watch and to learn.

But instead, taking up with a filthy animal?

Have you no shame?

Who are you to lecture me about shame?

Humans aren't animals.

Most of them are good, and true, and...

How could anyone know them and not love them?

- Touching. But we're not... - I know why you're here.

(GRUNTS)

Castiel.

Akobel, Seraphim of the Sixth Choir,

you have lain with a human, and you fathered a Nephilim.

What?

(CHOKING)

Continue.

You have broken our most sacred oath.

And the penalty is...

Death.

Dispose of his vessel.

This next part, I'll do alone.

WOMAN: No! No!

Stay away from my daughter!

(GIRL SCREAMING)

Cass, you, uh...

We completed a mission.

Some mission.

It was horrific, but it was necessary. It was right.

Well, you say so.

And the woman'? - Lily Sunder.

She was a professor of Apocalyptic Literature.

Studied angels, speaks fluent Enochian.

I took mercy on her by letting her live.

And now she wants revenge.

(SCOFFS)

But, she's gotta be, what, 100 years old?

No, more.

Yeah, but somehow she's still kicking ass?

No, not somehow.

I know what she's up to.

She made some kind of demonic pact.

Keeps her young, keeps her strong,

keeps her immune from our powers.

All right. Well, we'll find her. Me and Sam.

- No, Dean... - Cass, she doesn't care about us, okay?

- She's gunning for you guys. - Yeah, maybe we can reason with her.

Uh, four dead angels indicate that, perhaps, she is not reasonable.

If she has this dark power, it will take all of us to fight her.

And I need to heal your wound.

Wait a second. Cass, her family was murdered.

I mean, I know you were just doing a job, but...

Are you saying that those angels deserved to die?

- What? - You think I deserve to die?

- No, no, that's not what he's saying. - What is he saying?

I'm saying, maybe if we find her,

we can explain to her that you're different now, you know?

Sam, that won't work. She won't quit.

Think about it. Would you?

Castiel's right. It won't work.

We have to try.

That's right. And we're not asking.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

The way you let those simians talk to you...

Castiel, when did you get so gooey?

(GRUNTS)

You know why we're meant to stay away from them, humans?

Hmm?

It's not because we're a danger to them. (GROANS)

They're a danger to us. Case in point.

Well, my friendship with Sam and Dean has made me stronger.

You can't really believe that.

Your wound is deep. This will be painful.

Oh...

(EXHALES)

You sure about this address?

Well, Lily's car was a rental.

So I called the company, told them she was wanted for questioning by the FBI.

- They pinged the LoJack... - You could have just said yes.

Yes. So what's the plan?

Well, we knock on her door, ask her nicely not to kill any more angels.

And if she says no?

Then we burn that bridge when we come to it.

SAM: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Give us a second.

How did you find me?

We're here to talk. That's it. We come in peace.

Just hear us out.

We heard what happened to your family.

- My family? - See, Cass is our family.

So we can't let you hurt him.

- Let me? - We don't wanna kill you.

I don't wanna kill you.

Okay, good, look, there we go. Agreed.

Listen.

It's not Case's fault that Heaven has these crazy rules about Nephilim.

- Your daughter. - You think...

Oh...

Her name was May.

And she was beautiful.

(MAY HUMMING)

I find that doll disturbing.

(CHUCKLES)

Her father gave it to her. She loves it. Let her be.

(CHUCKLING)

(SOBS)

I had a life,

a wonderful life,

until...

They took everything from me.

Akobel, please.

Go back inside.

Take May. Run.

You have no business here.

Mommy?

It's fine, sweetheart. Everything is going to be fine, I promise.

(AKOBEL GRUNTS)

- Come on. Come on. - (WHIMPERING)

All my life, I dreamed about angels.

I studied them, I made them my life's work,

until finally, I learned the spell to summon one.

Ishim.

When I first saw him,

it was like looking into the face of the divine.

I thought he was perfect.

But he is a monster.

Ishim, what have you done?

Oh...

What have you done?

I shared all of our secrets with you,

taught you all of our ways for your precious studies.

I loved you.

You didn't love me, you were obsessed with me.

That isn't love.

I loved you!

You threw me away for him.

No. I never should have let you into my life.

I needed Akobel, to protect me from you.

Well, that didn't work, did it?

You killed him?

Obviously.

And now you're gonna kill me?

No.

You broke my heart, Lily.

(SNIFFLING)

Now I'm going to break yours.

- Ah! - Mommy! (SCREAMS)

And you are powerless to do anything.

- No. - You are powerless.

No!

No!

Stay away from my daughter!

- No! - (MAY SCREAMING)

(LILY CRYING)

I had my daughter

long before I ever laid eyes on an angel.

Wait, so...

My daughter was human.

Just... (CLEARS THROAT)

Are you buying any of this?

Yeah, kind of.

All right, well, we gotta make sure, you know.

I mean, Ishim's a tool, but you know what,

I'm gonna call Cass.

(DIAL TONE RINGING)

(WHISPERING) Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Yeah, he's not answering. Okay.

Just go. I'll stay here.

What, and leave you here with her? You kidding me? She's...

"She" is no threat whatsoever to humans, and "she" can hear you.

Okay.

Okay.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Mmm, I haven't felt this good in a millennium.

Oh, goodie.

Ah, quit your whining. You'll regain your strength soon enough.

Where's my phone?

You'll have to keep better track of your things, Castiel.

(SIGHS)

- SAM: Can I ask you a question? - Yeah.

I get wanting revenge, I really do,

but why wait so long?

I had no choice.

Before the angels fell, before they lost their wings,

there would have been no way to hunt them down.

But, now...

Patience is a talent.

You'd be amazed what a person can do with a little bit of purpose,

and an abundance of time.

(SCOFFS)

You know, Ishim said you made some kind of pact.

That you're using dark magic.

Did he?

I've studied angels all my very long life.

I use their magic.

To fight. To hear them.

To stay alive.

Enochian magic.

That's possible?

It is, if you're willing to pay the price of admission.

Every time I use one of their spells, a piece of my soul burns away.

And once it's gone...

You won't feel anything anymore.

You won't care about anything anymore.

You won't be human anymore.

I used to dream about my daughter every night.

You know what I dream about now?

Nothing.

You don't trust me, I understand.

But when your brother confronts lshim,

the angel will kill him.

Ishim's a big man in Heaven.

He's got too much to lose if the truth comes out.

And when your brother's dead, you won't stand in my way anymore.

You'll help me.

And for that, I can wait.

DEAN: Cass!

Hey. You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

And Ishim is fully recovered.

Yeah, okay.

Maybe wish you hadn't done that just yet.

Wait, why?

This Lily chick?

Says that her daughter was human.

I think Ishim...

I think he's playing you.

You're back.

So what's new?

Is it true, Ishim?

Is what true?

Lily Sunder's daughter,

was she human?

- Who told you that? - DEAN: She did.

Said you were pretty obsessed.

Well, she's a liar.

Why would she lie?

She's human. It's kind of what they do.

Well, if she's a liar, she's pretty good at it.

You, on the other hand, kind of suck.

Who are you gonna believe?

Your brother, or some filthy ape

who's always talking down to you, always mocking you?

You know, Cass and I might not agree all the time,

but at least he knows who his real friends are.

Why do his words bother you so much, Ishim?

Who is he to question my choices?

Who is he to question yours?

Well, it seems that some of my choices may need to be questioned.

Now, tell me. The girl, was she human?

Oh, you're not gonna like the answer.

(GRUNTING)

I used to envy you, Castiel. You believe that?

You survived Hell, you were chosen by God.

And now look at you. You're just sad. And pathetically weak.

So, now, I'm going to help you.

I'm going to cure you of your human weakness.

Same way I cured my own,

by cutting it out.

Don't move.

Do it.

You blast me away, you blast away every angel in the room.

I'll survive.

Castiel, on the other hand? He's hurt.

He might live, or he might just end up a bloody smear on the wall.

Roll the dice.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

Ishim! No!

Hello, my love.

Hey, hey.

Thought you were supposed to keep her out of this.

Yeah, I changed my mind.

- (GRUNTING) - Good call.

All right, plan B. Come on.

(GROANS)

(PANTING)

It's over.

No.

I will never be powerless again!

You can't hold me here forever.

(EXHALES)

(SHRIEKS)

(SCREAMS)

(CASTIEL SIGHS)

You held him for long enough.

SAM: All right. So, uh...

What now?

DEAN: He's dead.

Are you done?

Revenge is all I've had for over 100 years.

It's what I am.

Wrong answer. You're done.

Dean.

I'm sorry,

I was wrong.

And while it's true that I didn't know we were killing an innocent,

ignorance is no excuse.

I truly can't imagine the depths of your loss.

This was your child.

I can't imagine the pain.

So if you leave here

and you find that you can't forgive me,

I'll be waiting.

Thank you.

(SNIFFLES)

You earned it.

Well, this will do very little for me, but I appreciate the gesture.

What Ishim said...

You're not weak, Cass. You know that, right?

SAM: I mean, obviously, you've changed.

But it's all been for the better, man.

DEAN: And you have been with us every step of this long,

crazy thrill ride.

And no matter how crazy it got, you never backed down.

And that takes real strength.

Thank you.

Cass, I don't like how the whole Billie thing went down, okay?

I know you thought you were doing the right thing.

And I'm not mad, I'm worried.

Because things like cosmic consequences have a habit of biting us in the ass.

I know they do.

But I don't regret what I did. Even if it costs me my life.

Don't say that, man. (SIGHS)

So what're you gonna do if you find Kelly and, uh, Lucifer, Jr?

It is a Nephilim, right?

Oh, no, it's more than that.

An ordinary Nephilim is one of the most dangerous beings in all of creation.

But one that's fathered by an archangel?

The Devil himself? I...

I can't imagine the power.

But, Cass, at the end of the day, it's a mom and her kid.

I mean, do you think you'll be able to...

There was a time when I wouldn't have hesitated.

But now, I don't know.

So what're we gonna do?

(LIPS SMACKING)

Let's drink.

And hope we can find a better way.
