He moves part of her clothing off her neck; she has been stabbed to death. CASTIEL Goodbye, sister. Police cars arrive. Officers rush into the scene. OFFICER What the hell? An aerial view of the woman's corpse.

ROAD - NIGHT SAM is driving. SAM Ruby will meet us outside Cheyenne. She's been tracking some leads. I know she's not exactly on your Christmas list, but if she can help us get to Lilith- DEAN Hey, man, work with Ruby, don't. I don't really give a rat's ass. SAM What's your problem? DEAN Pamela didn't want anything to do with this and we dragged her back into it, Sam. SAM She knew what was at stake. DEAN Oh yeah. Saving the world. And we're doing such a damn good job of it. SAM Dean- DEAN I'm tired of burying friends, Sam. SAM Look, we catch a fresh trail- DEAN And we follow it, I know. Like I said, I'm just-I'm just getting tired. SAM Well, get angry. INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT They enter the room. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 3/25 DEAN Ah, home crappy home. SAM flips on the lights. URIEL Winchester and Winchester. URIEL and CASTIEL are waiting inside the room. DEAN Oh come on. URIEL You are needed. DEAN Needed? We just got back from needed. URIEL Now, you mind your tone with me. DEAN No, you mind your damn tone with us. SAM We just got back from Pamela's funeral. DEAN Pamela. You know, psychic Pamela? You remember her. Cas, you remember her. You burned her eyes out. Remember that? Good times. Yeah, then she died saving one of your precious seals. So maybe you can stop pushing us around like chess pieces for five freaking minutes! URIEL We raised you out of hell for our purposes. DEAN Yeah, what were those again? What exactly did you want from me? URIEL Start with gratitude. DEAN Oh. CASTIEL Dean, we know this is difficult to understand. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 4/25 URIEL And we- URIEL gives CASTIEL a significant look. URIEL -don't care. Now, seven angels have been murdered, all of them from our garrison. The last one was killed tonight. DEAN Demons? How they doing it? URIEL We don't know. SAM I'm sorry, but what do you want us to do about it? I mean, a demon with the juice to ice angels has to be out of our league, right? URIEL We can handle the demons, thank you very much. CASTIEL Once we find whoever it is. DEAN So you need our help hunting a demon? CASTIEL Not quite. We have Alastair. DEAN Great. He should be able to name your trigger man. CASTIEL But he won't talk. Alastair's will is very strong. We've arrived at an impasse. DEAN Yeah, well, he's like a black belt in torture. I mean, you guys are out of your league. URIEL That's why we've come to his student. You happen to be the most qualified interrogator we've got. DEAN looks down. CASTIEL 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 5/25 Dean, you are our best hope. DEAN No. No way. You can't ask me to do this, Cas. Not this. URIEL walks up to DEAN. URIEL Who said anything about asking? SAM looks around. The room is empty. SAM Damn it! INT. BUILDING - NIGHT ALASTAIR is visible through a window in a door, chained to a hexacle standing in the middle of a devil's trap. CASTIEL This devil's trap is old Enochian. He's bound completely. DEAN Fascinating. DEAN turns away from the door. DEAN Where's the door? CASTIEL Where are you going? DEAN Hitch back to Cheyenne, thank you very much. DEAN walks past URIEL, then stops: URIEL is blocking his path. URIEL Angels are dying, boy. DEAN Everybody's dying these days. And hey, I get it. You're all-powerful. You can make me do whatever you want. But you can't make me do this. CASTIEL 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 6/25 This is too much to ask, , know. But we have to ask it. DEAN watches CASTIEL for a moment, then turns back to URIEL. DEAN I want to talk to Cas alone. URIEL I think I'll go seek revelation. We might have some further orders. DEAN Well, get some donuts while you're out. URIEL laughs. URIEL Ah, this one just won't quit, will he? I think I'm starting to like you, boy. DEAN watches URIEL vanish. DEAN You guys don't walk enough. You're gonna get flabby. CASTIEL doesn't react. DEAN You know, I'm starting to think junkless has a better sense of humor than you do. CASTIEL Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone. DEAN walks up to CASTIEL. DEAN What's going on, Cas? Since when does Uriel put a leash on you? CASTIEL My superiors have begun to question my sympathies. DEAN Your sympathies? CASTIEL I was getting too close to the humans in my charge. You. They feel I've begun to express emotions. The doorways to doubt. This can impair my judgment. DEAN 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 7/25 Well, tell Uriel, or whoever...you do not want me doing this, trust me. CASTIEL Want it, no. But I have been told we need it. DEAN You ask me to open that door and walk through it, you will not like what walks back out. CASTIEL For what it's worth, I would give anything not to have you do this. DEAN closes his eyes. INT. ROOM - NIGHT DEAN wheels a loaded cart covered with a cloth into the room where ALASTAIR is imprisoned. ALASTAIR watches DEAN enter, grins, and starts to sing, moving within the chains almost as though he is dancing. ALASTAIR Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak. I seem to find the happiness I seek, when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek... DEAN pulls the cloth off the cart, revealing an assortment of torture implements. ALASTAIR laughs. DEAN ignores him. ALASTAIR I'm sorry. This is a very serious, very emotional situation for you. I shouldn't laugh, it's just that-I mean, are they serious? They sent you to torture me? DEAN You got one chance. One. Tell me who's killing the angels. I want a name. ALASTAIR You think I'll see all your scary toys and spill my guts? DEAN Oh, you'll spill your guts, one way or another. I just didn't wanna ruin my shoes. ALASTAIR Oh, yeah. DEAN Now answer the question. ALASTAIR Or what? You'll work me over? But then, maybe you don't want to. Maybe you're, ah, scared to. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 8/25 DEAN I'm here, aren't I? ALASTAIR Not entirely. You left part of yourself back in the Pit. Let's see if we can get the two of you back together again, shall we? DEAN You're gonna be disappointed. DEAN walks over to the cart. ALASTAIR You have not disappointed me so far. Come on. You gotta want a little payback for everything I did to you. For all the pokes and prods. Hm? DEAN is impassive. ALASTAIR No? Um...how about for all the things I did to your daddy? DEAN's head comes up. INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT SAM opens the door for RUBY. RUBY I can still smell them. Seriously, Sam, I'm not exactly dying to tangle with angels again. SAM I need you to find out where they took Dean. RUBY Not sure I see the problem. You know they have Alastair strung up six ways from Sunday. Dean cuts himself a slice, Al's reduced to a quivering heap, and the good guys get the goods. What's wrong with that? SAM He can't do it. RUBY Look, I get it. You don't want him going all torture master again. SAM No. I mean, he can't do it. He can't get the job done. Something happened to him downstairs, Ruby. He's not what he used to be. He's not strong enough. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 9/25 RUBY And you are? SAM I will be. INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT ALASTAIR I had your pop on my rack for close to a century. DEAN You can't stall forever. ALASTAIR John Winchester. Made a good name for himself. A hundred years. After each session, I'd make him the same offer I made you. I'd put down my blade if he picked one up. DEAN Just give me the demon's name, Alastair. ALASTAIR But he said nein each and every time. Oh, damned if I couldn't break him. DEAN takes off his leather jacket. ALASTAIR Pulled out all the stops, but John, he was, well, made of something unique. The stuff of heroes. And then came Dean. Dean Winchester. I thought I was up against it again. DEAN drinks from a bottle of something probably alcoholic. ALASTAIR But daddy's little girl, he broke. He broke in thirty. Oh, just not the man your daddy wanted you to be, huh, Dean? DEAN puts down the bottle. ALASTAIR Now. DEAN picks up a jigger and fills it from a large bottle of water that has a rosary in it. ALASTAIR Now we're getting somewhere. Holy water? Come on. Grasshopper, you're gonna have to get creative to impress me. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 10/25 DEAN looks up finally. DEAN You know something, Alastair? I could still dream. Even in hell. And over and over and over, you know what I dreamt? I dreamt of this moment. ALASTAIR begins to look nervous. DEAN picks up a needle. DEAN And believe me, I got a few ideas. DEAN fills the needle from the jigger, sprays a little water from it, and goes over to ALASTAIR. DEAN Let's get started. INT. NEXT ROOM - NIGHT CASTIEL hears ALASTAIR screaming. $&77:2 INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT ALASTAIR Oh, man. Ooh. DEAN puts the needle back on the cart with his other tools. DEAN Let me know if you want some more. There's plenty left. ALASTAIR Go directly to hell. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. DEAN smiles. INT. MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT RUBY chants, holding a lit candle to the corner of a map. SAM watches the fire spread around the edges. RUBY 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 11/25 Relax. The fire is our friend. Besides, the only part of the map we need is the 'where's Dean?' part. Out. The flames vanish. The map is charred to unreadability; a small circle in the middle is untouched. RUBY There. Your brother's there. It's a good thing angels aren't concerned with hiding their dirty business. Not used to being spied on. I mean, who'd be stupid enough to try? SAM Ruby, it's been weeks. I need it. RUBY You don't seem too happy about it. SAM You think I wanna do this? This is the last thing I- SAM sits on the bed. SAM But I need to be strong enough. RUBY straddles SAM's lap. RUBY It's okay. It's okay, Sammy. You can have it. RUBY kisses SAM. She pulls a knife from an ankle sheath and cuts her arm, drawing blood. SAM drinks it straight from the vein. RUBY strokes his hair. RUBY It's okay, Sam. RUBY smirks. INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT DEAN holds up Ruby's knife. ALASTAIR looks at it and laughs. ALASTAIR There's that little pig-poker. I wondered where it went. DEAN dips a ladle into a bowl of what is presumably holy water and pours it over the blade. ALASTAIR Do you really think this is gonna fix you? Give you closure? That is sad. That's really sad. Sad, sad. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 12/25 DEAN approaches ALASTAIR, watches for a moment, and stabs him. A sizzling sound. ALASTAIR I carved you into a new animal, Dean. There is no going back. DEAN Maybe you're right. But now it's my turn to carve. ALASTAIR No! The view pans to a faucet that is turned by an unseen hand. It begins to drip, right onto the chalk of the devil's trap on the floor. INT. NEXT ROOM - NIGHT CASTIEL listens to ALASTAIR's groans. The light flickers, catching CASTIEL's attention; the bulb explodes. ANNA appears behind CASTIEL. CASTIEL Anna. ANNA Hello, Castiel. CASTIEL turns to look at her. CASTIEL Your human body- ANNA It was destroyed, I know. But I guess I'm sentimental. Called in some old favors and... ALASTAIR becomes slightly more audible. CASTIEL You shouldn't be here. We still have orders to kill you. ANNA Somehow I don't think you'll try. Where's Uriel? CASTIEL He went to receive revelation. ANNA Right. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 13/25 INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT DEAN pulls the knife out of ALASTAIR, whose head falls forward. DEAN tilts it back up, ignoring the blood. ALASTAIR laughs. ALASTAIR Now it's your professionalism that I respect. DEAN turns away, disgusted. ALASTAIR spits blood. INT. NEXT ROOM - NIGHT ANNA Why are you letting Dean do this? CASTIEL He's doing God's work. ANNA Torturing? That's God's work? Stop him, Cas, please. Before you ruin the one real weapon you have. CASTIEL Who are we to question the will of God? ANNA Unless this isn't his will. CASTIEL Then where do the orders come from? ANNA I don't know. One of our superiors, maybe, but not him. INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT DEAN splashes ALASTAIR in the face with holy water; it steams and sizzles. ALASTAIR gargles. DEAN Who's murdering the angels? ALASTAIR chokes. INT. NEXT ROOM - NIGHT ANNA The father you love. You think he wants this? You think he'd ask this of you? You think this is righteous? 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 14/25 CASTIEL can't meet her eyes. ANNA What you're feeling? It's called doubt. INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT ALASTAIR screams and chokes. DEAN pours out more holy water, splashes ALASTAIR in the face, and watches him sizzle. INT. NEXT ROOM - NIGHT ANNA touches CASTIEL's hand. ANNA These orders are wrong and you know it. But you can do the right thing. You're afraid, Cas. I was too. But together, we can still- CASTIEL Together? CASTIEL yanks his hand away. CASTIEL I am nothing like you. You fell. Go. ANNA Cas. CASTIEL Go. ANNA vanishes. CASTIEL listens to ALASTAIR scream. INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT ALASTAIR spits out blood and holy water. ALASTAIR You're just not getting deep enough. Well, you lack the resources. Reality is just, I don't know, too concrete up here. Honestly, Dean... DEAN pours salt into another container. ALASTAIR You have no idea how bad it really was, and what you really did for us. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 15/25 DEAN, whispering Shut up. ALASTAIR The whole bloody thing, Dean. The reason Lilith wanted you there in the first place. DEAN Well, then I'll just make you shut up. DEAN grabs ALASTAIR's chin. ALASTAIR Lilith really- DEAN pours salt into ALASTAIR's mouth. ALASTAIR tries to scream. EXT. ROAD - NIGHT SAM drives through rain. He looks exactly like himself in the montage in 3.11 Mystery Spot. INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT ALASTAIR spits out blood and tries to breathe. ALASTAIR Something caught in my throat. I think it's my throat. DEAN Well, strap in, 'cause I'm just starting to have fun. DEAN goes back to his cart. ALASTAIR You know, it was supposed to be your father. DEAN pours out more holy water. ALASTAIR He was supposed to bring it on. But, in the end, it was you. DEAN Bring what on? ALASTAIR Oh, every night, the same offer, remember? Same as your father. DEAN shakes salt onto the blade of Ruby's knife. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 16/25 ALASTAIR And finally you said, "Sign me up." Oh, the first time you picked up my razor, the first time you sliced into that weeping bitch... DEAN turns to face ALASTAIR. ALASTAIR That was the first seal. DEAN does not visibly react. He walks closer. DEAN You're lying. ALASTAIR And it is written that the first seal shall be broken when a righteous man sheds blood in hell. As he breaks, so shall it break. DEAN turns away. ALASTAIR We had to break the first seal before any others. Only way to get the dominoes to fall, right? Topple the one at the front of the line. Now that DEAN is not facing ALASTAIR, his shock is visible on his face. ALASTAIR When we win, when we bring on the apocalypse and burn this earth down, we'll owe it all to you, Dean Winchester. DEAN closes his eyes, trying not to react. ALASTAIR Believe me, son, I wouldn't lie about this. It's kind of a religious sort of thing with me. ALASTAIR notices the dripping faucet and the broken edge of the devil's trap. DEAN No. I don't think you are lying. But even if the demons do win... DEAN looks at Ruby's knife. DEAN You won't be there to see it. DEAN turns around. ALASTAIR is right behind him, out of the chains. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 17/25 ALASTAIR You should talk to your plumber about the pipes. ALASTAIR punches DEAN, who goes down. ALASTAIR grins. $&77+5(( INT. PRISON ROOM - NIGHT DEAN is covered in blood. ALASTAIR holds him by his shirt collar and punches him repeatedly, then drops him and picks him up by the throat and shoves him up against the hexacle, lifting his feet off the floor. ALASTAIR You got a lot to learn, boy. So I'll see you back in class bright and early Monday morning. ALASTAIR turns around. CASTIEL is behind him with Ruby's knife. ALASTAIR drops DEAN, who doesn't move, to focus on CASTIEL, who stabs him in the heart. The injury sparks gold light, but not as much as when it kills. ALASTAIR Well, almost. Looks like God is on my side today. CASTIEL lifts a hand. The knife twists itself. ALASTAIR grunts in pain and pulls out the knife, then tosses it away and charges CASTIEL. They fight. ALASTAIR slams CASTIEL against the wall, choking him. ALASTAIR Well, like roaches, you celestials. Now, I really wish I knew how to kill you. But all I can do is send you back to heaven. ALASTAIR chants in Latin. Blue light appears in CASTIEL's eyes and mouth. ALASTAIR stops abruptly, choking, and is slammed against the wall. SAM has arrived, one hand raised. CASTIEL slumps to the ground. ALASTAIR Stupid pet tricks. SAM Who's murdering the angels? How are they doing it? ALASTAIR You think I'm gonna tell you? SAM 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 18/25 Yeah, I do. SAM twists his hand. ALASTAIR's eyes roll white and he chokes. SAM How are the demons killing angels? ALASTAIR I don't know. SAM Right. ALASTAIR It's not us. We're not doing it. SAM I don't believe you. ALASTAIR Lilith is not behind this. She wouldn't kill seven angels. Oh, she'd kill a hundred, a thousand. SAM stops. ALASTAIR Oh, go ahead. Send me back, if you can. SAM I'm stronger than that now. Now I can kill. SAM holds out his hand. Gold light flares inside ALASTAIR as he screams. ALASTAIR's host collapses, dead. INT. HOSPITAL - DAY DEAN is in bed, heavily bandaged with a breathing tube and an IV drip. SAM sits next to him. CASTIEL appears at the doorway, pauses, and continues down the hallway. SAM follows him out of the room. CASTIEL Sam- SAM Get in there and heal him. Miracle. Now. CASTIEL I can't. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 19/25 SAM You and Uriel put him in there- CASTIEL No. SAM -because you can't keep a simple devil's trap together. CASTIEL I don't know what happened. That trap...it shouldn't have broken. I am sorry. SAM This whole thing was pointless. You understand that? The demons aren't doing the hits. Something else is killing your soldiers. CASTIEL Perhaps Alastair was lying. SAM No, he wasn't. SAM goes back to DEAN. CASTIEL looks as though he has been slugged in the face. EXT. SNOWY PARK - DAY URIEL sits on a bench, eyes closed. CASTIEL appears. URIEL Castiel, I received revelation from our superiors. Our brothers and sisters are dying and they...they want us to stop hunting the demon responsible. CASTIEL sits next to URIEL. URIEL Something is wrong up there. I mean, can you feel it? CASTIEL The murders. Maybe they aren't demonic. Sam Winchester said the demons had nothing to do with it. URIEL If not the demons, what could it be? CASTIEL The will of heaven. We are failing, Uriel. We are losing the war. Perhaps the garrison is being punished. URIEL 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 20/25 You think our father would- CASTIEL I think maybe our father isn't giving the orders anymore. Maybe there is something wrong. URIEL stands up. URIEL Well, I won't wait to be gutted. URIEL vanishes. EXT. SNOWY STREET - NIGHT CASTIEL Anna. Anna, please. The streetlight above CASTIEL flickers. He looks up, then turns around. ANNA Decided to kill me after all? CASTIEL I'm alone. ANNA What do you want from me, Castiel? CASTIEL I'm considering disobedience. ANNA nods. ANNA Good. CASTIEL No, it isn't. For the first time, I feel... ANNA It gets worse. Choosing your own course of action is confusing, terrifying. ANNA puts her hand on CASTIEL's shoulder. He looks at it; she drops it. ANNA That's right. You're too good for my help. I'm just trash. A walking blasphemy. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 21/25 ANNA turns to walk away. CASTIEL Anna. ANNA stops. CASTIEL I don't know what to do. Please tell me what to do. ANNA turns back. ANNA Like the old days? No. I'm sorry. It's time to think for yourself. ANNA vanishes. INT. PRISON ROOM - DAY CASTIEL examines the devil's trap. He notices the dripping faucet and shuts it off without touching it. URIEL You called? URIEL enters. URIEL What do you say, Castiel? Will you join me? Will you fight with me? CASTIEL Strange. Strange how a leaky pipe can undo the work of angels when we ourselves are supposed to be the agents of fate. URIEL Alastair was much more powerful than we had imagined. CASTIEL No. No demon can overpower that trap. I made it myself. We've been friends for a long time, Uriel. Fought by each other's sides, served together away from home, for what seems like forever. We're brothers, Uriel. Pay me that respect. Tell me the truth. URIEL The truth is, the only thing that can kill an angel... A sword slides out of URIEL's sleeve into his grasp. URIEL 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 22/25 ...is another angel. $&7)285 CASTIEL You. URIEL I'm afraid so. CASTIEL And you broke the devil's trap, set Alastair on Dean. URIEL Alastair should never have been taken alive. Really inconvenient, Cas. Yes, I did turn the screw a little. Alastair should have killed Dean and escaped, and you should have gone on happily scapegoating the demons. CASTIEL For the murders of our kin? URIEL Not murders, Castiel. No. My work is conversion. How long have we waited here? How long have we played this game by rules that make no sense? CASTIEL It is our father's world, Uriel. URIEL Our father? He stopped being that, if he ever was, the moment he created them. Humanity, his favorites. This whining, puking larva. CASTIEL Are you trying to convert me? URIEL I wanted you to join me. And I still do. With you, we can be powerful enough to- CASTIEL To... URIEL To raise our brother. 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 23/25 CASTIEL Lucifer. URIEL You do remember him? How strong he was? How beautiful? And he didn't bow to humanity. He was punished for defending us. Now, if you want to believe in something, Cas, believe in him. CASTIEL Lucifer is not God. URIEL God isn't God anymore. He doesn't care what we do. I am proof of that. CASTIEL But this? What were you gonna do, Uriel? Were you gonna kill the whole garrison? URIEL I only killed the ones who said no. Others have joined me, Cas. Now, please, brother, don't fight me. Help me. Help me spread the word. Help me bring on the apocalypse. All you have to do is be unafraid. CASTIEL For the first time in a long time, I am. URIEL smiles. CASTIEL punches him through the wall several feet away. URIEL gets up. They fight. URIEL clobbers CASTIEL with a metal bar; CASTIEL goes down. CASTIEL You can't win, Uriel. I still serve God. URIEL You haven't even met the man. There is no will. No wrath. No God. Between each phrase, URIEL punches CASTIEL. The last time, he raises his fist and is stabbed through the neck from behind. ANNA Maybe. Or maybe not. But there's still me. ANNA pulls out URIEL's sword. URIEL collapses. ANNA goes over to CASTIEL. URIEL screams as white light flares in his eyes and mouth. The light explodes out of him and out of the building. CASTIEL stands up and looks down at URIEL's corpse. His wings are seared into the floor across the devil's trap. $&7),9( 1/27/13 4.16 On the Head of a Pin (transcript) - Super-wiki www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=4.16_On_the_Head_of_a_Pin_(transcript)#ACT_THREE 24/25 INT. HOSPITAL - DAY DEAN is still in bed, though the breathing tube is gone. CASTIEL sits next to him. CASTIEL Are you all right? DEAN No thanks to you. CASTIEL You need to be more careful. DEAN You need to learn how to manage a damn devil's trap. CASTIEL That's not what I mean. Uriel is dead. DEAN Was it the demons? CASTIEL It was disobedience. He was working against us. DEAN Is it true? Did I break the first seal? Did I start all this? CASTIEL Yes. When we discovered Lilith's plan for you, we laid siege to hell and we fought our way to get to you before you- DEAN Jump-started the apocalypse. CASTIEL And we were too late. DEAN Why didn't you just leave me there, then? CASTIEL It's not blame that falls on you, Dean, it's fate. The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it.
