[THUNDER]
[EXTERIOR - ALTERNATE UNIVERSE – DAY]
[MARY and LUCIFER are wandering in the desert.]
LUCIFER
Mary, not to be critical, but if we are ever gonna find a way out of here, uh, you gotta pick up the pace.
We got a lot of ground to cover, okay?
[MARY sits in the sand.]
MARY
Not sure I see the point, since… no matter how this plays out, you're going to kill me.
LUCIFER
Why would I kill you?
Oh, that's right. 'Cause I'm evil. Yeah, let me tell you a couple of things, all right?
You don't get to defy God and beat the Cage without having a modicum of intelligence, all right?
A game plan, i.e., I don't want you dead because I need you alive.
All right, look, yeah, in a perfect world, I would probably kill you and your plodding sons. But life isn't fair.
Your sons have my boy. So I'm gonna exchange you for my son.
MARY
You can't possibly care about raising a child.
LUCIFER
Oh, you have no idea what I care about.
[Suddenly, a FIREBALL seemingly targets them. It lands and explodes not so far from where MARY was sitting. There's smoke everywhere. LUCIFER stares at the point where the fireball landed.]
LUCIFER
What the hell?
Mary?![THUNDER]
[THUNDERCLAP]
[EXTERIOR – ALTERNATE UNIVERSE – DAY]
[We see MARY walking through the desert. There are plenty of dead bodies around. A HUNTER who was hiding behind a rock points a SHOTGUN at her.]
HUNTER
Who the hell are you?
MARY
Mary. Mary Winchester. I'm a Hunter.
HUNTER
Doubt it. Come here.
[MARY gets closer.]
HUNTER
You don't walk like an angel. They all walk like they got sticks up their asses.
[He throws some HOLY WATER at MARY.]
Not a demon neither.
MARY
I told you.
HUNTER
I ain't never met a female Hunter. Not many women, period, since the wars began.
MARY
Wars?
HUNTER
What rock you been under?
MARY
I'm not from around here.
HUNTER
Oh.
MARY
I don't know anything. I just got attacked by some kind of fireball or something.
HUNTER
(Laughs) Angels, yeah. Always takin' shots.
[He gets closer, creepily.]
Maybe I can… help you find your way.
MARY
(Walking backward) I'm good.
HUNTER
Ah. (He grabs her arm) Let's keep this friendly, huh?
[MARY punches him. They start fighting.]
HUNTER
Bitch!
[The HUNTER throws MARY on the ground, gets ready to shoot her when… LUCIFER kills him.]
LUCIFER
You're welcome. Uh, Mary, in case you didn't notice, you left without me.
What is wrong with you? We need each other! This is a win-win situation. Okay?
We gotta get outta this… a theme park, we both get our boys back.
MARY
You think I want you to win?
[LUCIFER sighs deeply. He snaps his fingers. MARY's mind is filled with horrors of hell .]
[LUCIFER snaps his fingers again. The screaming the pain she feels from the soul stops .]
LUCIFER
Yeah, I'm—I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist.
LUCIFER and MARY are still walking.]
LUCIFER
Are you tired? Really? (laughs) You know what? Let me tell you a couple of things. First of all, we gotta blow this taco stand before who knows what happens to my son.
And second of all, you're the reason that we are even stuck in this godforsaken place, to begin with. So I'm sorry you're tired.
It's not my fault you were born a wimpy little human with your wimpy little lungs and your weak little legs.
MARY
What?
LUCIFER
You heard me. Don't say another word on this trip, okay?
[A group of ANGELS suddenly appears.]
LUCIFER
Just what I need. Angels. Hey.
ANGEL
I sense a creature that stinks of Hell.
LUCIFER
Oh, yeah. That would be her.
ANGEL
False! Identify yourself.
LUCIFER
I'm Lucifer.
ANGEL
False.
LUCIFER
Not, I'm pretty sure I'm—I'm Lucifer. (to Mary) You wanna tell this guy who I am?
ANGEL
False. Lucifer is in heaven with organizing a raid to a human camp along with Raphael.
LUCIFER
What? This place is nuts!
ANGEL
Freeze!
LUCIFER
Oh, what are you gonna… Are you gonna smite me?
ANGEL
(to the angels) On my command.
LUCIFER
Oh, for the love of…
[The angels get ready to smite LUCIFER.]
ANGEL
Now!
[LUCIFER snaps his fingers and the angels disintegrate into smoke.]
LUCIFER
Was he kidding? I mean, even in the land of Bizarre, an angel isn't gonna try to…
[A FIREBALL lands close to them.]
LUCIFER
Oh, come on!
[Surrounded by white smoke, we see a MAN standing and the silhouette of a pair of WINGS. The man walks up to LUCIFER and MARY.]
MICHAEL
You should be in heaven brother.
LUCIFER
Eh… Okay. And who are you and what spaghetti western coughed you up?
MICHAEL
Don't you know me, brother?
LUCIFER
Michael?
A montage of images, while Lucifer narrates from his cage in the Apocalypse World: The Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion Nebula, The Horsehead Nebula, mountain peaks, The Grand Canyon, "The Devil's Throat" at Iguazu Falls, the sky with a golden glow at the horizon, yellow flowers blooming in melting snow, a rainbow]
LUCIFER: I got plenty of gripes with the old man. His self-righteous narcissism, his "my way or the highway" quirk. I gotta hand it to him. He had a couple of great seconds when He banged out the universe.
Guy had creative chops. And optimism. I'll give him that. And despite His pissiness and His massive lack of irony, he did give mankind a good turn at bat and a chance to live in paradise.
[we return to Lucifer trapped in a person-sized cage, Michael's hand on his head]
He ruled. He smote. He parted waters. Worshipped by creatures who made God in man's image. And then, he got disappointed. Or worse, bored. Picked up all His toys and... left.
[Michael removes his hand and Lucifer seems confused]
LUCIFER: What was that?
MICHAEL: Hitched a ride on your temporal lobe. Saw your world. That paradise you left behind? Believe I'll take up residence, lend my guiding hand.
LUCIFER: Ah, of course. 'Cause you've done such wonders with this place.
MICHAEL: I'll share your grace four ways than I will kill you and take over your world
LUCIFER: Okay, bro, could you do me a favor?
MICHAEL: Hmm?
LUCIFER: Eat me.
MICHAEL: Hmm.
[Michael grabs the bars of Lucifer's hanging cage, we see it's lined with spikes, and he jerks the cage, impaling Lucifer on the spikes. Michael watches, and then leaves the room]
LUCIFER: Aah!
Gabriel: Hey
Lucifer grunts in pain as the spikes rip into him
Gabriel weak'' Lucifer ''he coughs out
Lucifer eyes flutter Grabbing the front of the cage and pull himself off the spikes making him grunt at the feeling of the spike tearing out of his vessel and grace.
Lucifer frowns looks at the being who spoke in surprise than angry ''Gabriel ''.
Gabriel coughing ''hey bro ''.
Lucifer pale '' what happens to you your grace it ''.
Gabriel breathing heavily '' they took it from me multiple times''.
Lucifer gasping ''Why ''.
Gabriel staring in confusion '' they eat my grace to become more powerful ''.
Lucifer pales ''no I can't believe that I would... That I could ''.
Gabriel sighs ''neither could for the longest time ''
Lucifer eyes wide in realization '' now they will have mine ''
Gabriel nodding ''no first they will use your grace to open a portal ''.
Lucifer in disgust '' so we have managed to destroy the universe''.
Gabriel shakes his head ''no I have an idea but I couldn't do it alone ''.
a cough sounds from a different corner of the torture room
Gabriel frowns ''a human ''
Lucifer explains his world and things
Gabriel curses ''crap ''
Lucifer frowning ''what ''.
Gabriel eyes Lucifer ''the spell I was going to use attacks my grace inside of Michael and the others ''
Lucifer still confused ''oh so what wrong ''
Gabriel sighing at his stupidity '' The spell it will make where humans can't move ''
Lucifer frowns nodding ''oh ''
Gabriel grunts at what he had to work with '' now we can't abandon her either ''.
Lucifer angry ''why''
Gabriel seeing Lucifer still at least dislikes humans '' Michael plans on creating a string of Nephilim ''
Lucifer '' Fuck he is going to go after human females ''.
Gabriel nodding ''and the archangels will descend on them creating an army of Nephelim that will be spelled to serve them ''
Lucifer eyes flash red enraged at this as the being who created free will viva the apple of Eden this was a insult.
Gabriel smiling at that ''good news is I can get us out bad news is we will have to drain soul power from humans ''
Lucifer eyes wide ''what ''
Gabriel continues ''the spell will require a distraction ''
Lucifer trying to get him to continue ''humans ''
Gabriel sighing ''the spell will leave us weak so human souls will allow us to heal our grace ''
Mary shouts ''hey if you ''
Lucifer ignoring her '' I know we will need help and they will resist how will ''
Gabriel ''my pagan powers will allow us to drain power from them and they won't feel it and they won't fight me ''
Lucifer nodding '' okay so we have a plan to get out than what''
Gabriel ''the spell will activate the end so dad crypt will open ''
Lucifer gulping ''really now ''
Gabriel nodding ''yes once we leave this dimension the war between the other dimensions begins ''
Lucifer sighing '' so then yeah that is enough to let the dad crypt open ''
Mary confused '' god crypt ''
Lucifer god created a crypt that would summon him and give the Lightbringer power to protect the creation it was created when the final battle begins ''
Mary frowns ''Lightbringer but ''
Lucifer I am called the lightbringer because I can become somewhat god 2.0
Mary gulping ''you mean god made you be his replacement ''
Lucifer waves his hand '' I was made like a god when he gave me hell and as long as hell exists so will I ''.
Mary closes her eyes and takes a deep breath
Lucifer ''okay so now we wait to strike ''
Mary nodding '' ok''
Gabriel after discussing the plan takes some grace out than heals the wound and says '' Lucifer can I have some ''. Lucifer nods giving some grace by cutting his throat on the spike then sending it to Gabriel who holds them both in a vial that he created then he chants a spell to begin the process.
Dean enters the library, bringing coffee to Sam, who's working on his laptop]
DEAN: Anything?
SAM: Oh. Thanks. Not yet. I put out an APB to every single Hunter we know. But... Jack's off the grid.
DEAN: Kid was pretty spun out. We'll find him. I mean, there's gotta be a sign at some point, right?
SAM: Yeah.
DEAN: Kid can cause a tsunami with a hiccup.
SAM: I don't know. Maybe he's covering his tracks.
[Cas enters the room from the opposite side Dean did]
CASTIEL: Or this apparent dearth of evidence is, in fact, the evidence.
SAM: The evidence of...
CASTIEL: Of some horrific misadventure that's befallen him, like being dragged down to Hell by Asmodeus. Or... [Sighs] I don't know, possibly worse, being hijacked to Heaven by angels.
DEAN: Yeah, but isn't he too fast and furious for angels?
CASTIEL: Maybe. Maybe not. That's what I'm gonna find out.
SAM: Find out from who? From – from the angels?
CASTIEL: Yes.
[Dean stands up]
DEAN: All right. Well, let's go.
CASTIEL: Dean, you can't accompany me. My contact is already anxious about meeting and won't speak in the presence of a stranger.
DEAN: So introduce me. Then I'm not a stranger. I'll bring a six-pack.
CASTIEL: Dean, I swore I would protect this boy. Let me do this.
[Cas walks toward the war room]
DEAN: Don't do anything stupid.
[Dean reluctantly sits back down with Sam as we hear Cas climb the stairs and leave through the front door]
SAM: All right.
DEAN: I guess we're stuck in idle.
SAM: So... [Scoffs] What do we do? Just – just sit around here and wait?
DEAN: Well, we could work a case. We got three murders here a couple of hundred miles apart, same M.O. They were all horribly tortured before having their throat slit. Look at the body. Next to it.
[Dean turns the laptop around and shows the crime scene photo to Sam, who zooms in on an arrangement that looks like ingredients for a spell]
SAM: She's a witch.
DEAN: Mm-hmm.
SAM: Were they all witches?
DEAN: Looking like. These aren't
LUCIFER: Hey, hey, hey. I got an idea. Why don't you wail on Mary Winchester for a while? I'll go get a latte, okay? Or not.
MICHAEL: Look at you. You claim to be a god in your world. Here, you're pathetic.
LUCIFER (laughing): Hey, you try interdimensional travel sometimes, pal. Definitely no frills. And just to be clear, I never claimed to be God. Or a god, okay? Where I come from, God is a paradox. He's everywhere, in your mind. In reality, he's nowhere. He left. I, on the other hand, am the real deal. I am everything humanity thinks I am and worse. That's who you're dealing with, pal. But, hey, congratulations to you for being king of the hill of this dead rock.
MICHAEL: Unlike you, I'll be trading up.
LUCIFER: Oh, you mean to the Earth? Sort of need that pesky little rift to pull that trade-off, right? And it's...oh. Missing.
MICHAEL: For now. I consider myself a man with a plan. Alternate universes? Not news. We've been exploring the idea.
LUCIFER: "We"?
MICHAEL: Bring him in. The greatest minds on this "dead rock," including...
[A demon goes to the door, and opens it for someone to enter]
Our Prophet of the Lord.
LUCIFER: Kevin? Kevin Tran?
KEVIN: Have we met?
LUCIFER: Uh, we had one of you in our world. The other you is dead.
KEVIN: Don't care.
MICHAEL: What do you have for me?
KEVIN: I... I've assembled all the elements annotated in the angel tablets. Of course, I haven't done this before– no one here has– and any predictions are only predictive, not declarative probabilities being what they are or could be. Maybe. Or not. But a fly in the ointment exists.
MICHAEL: Yes.
KEVIN (holding up a glass and silver angel grace vial): The key ingredient– archangel grace, which you have refused to donate.
MICHAEL: Don't screw with me, worm.
KEVIN: I'm a vertebrate, neither an annelid nor a nematode.
[Michael takes the vial from Kevin beneath another glowing cross window and turns to Lucifer]
MICHAEL: I don't need to waste my grace. And there's plenty in the cupboard.
LUCIFER: Oh, touch me, and I'll –
[Alternate Lucifer restraining him punches Lucifer in the face]
MICHAEL: Don't worry. I won't take it all. Save some for a rainy day. Say "ah."
[Michael slits Lucifer's throat with an angel blade, and extracts a bit of his grace into the vial, then healing the wound]
Lucifer looks on as angels drag Mary and Gabriel to the side of Lucifer
Gabriel winks
KEVIN: It's ready.
LUCIFER: Kevin, what are you doing, getting mixed up with Michael?
KEVIN: I don't have a choice. I'm a prophet, so I serve God, but there's no God to serve, so I serve the ranking deity, which is Michael because I don't have a choice because I'm a prophet.
LUCIFER: Idiot. Can't you see Michael is a monster? Pure evil?
KEVIN: Okay, I'm confused. Aren't you Satan? Which would make you the evil monster? And besides, Michael's taking me with him to paradise world so I can meet hot women.
LUCIFER: I'm sorry. What?
[The door bangs open and Michael storms in]
MICHAEL: This better work.
KEVIN: Okay, a disclaimer? What I'm making is a synthetically generated Megaforce, which has not been tested, and I've never done it before. And it should be enough to open the rift, but I can't promise 100%.
MICHAEL: Just do it.
KEVIN: Okay.
LUCIFER: Kevin... don't do it.
[Kevin does it.]
KEVIN: Mah ray, fay doh, me lah.
Kah day, em lah! Kah day, em lah!
Gabriel smirks than throws his grace he held in his hand in the air yells
Viska mu vaenlased Frys alle fra Denne Verden
The archangels are thrown into a wall and then freeze in their position
Mary falls to the ground
Lucifer THE TABLET
Gabriel if you touch it the spell will be removed
Lucifer okay
Gabriel and Lucifer grab mary arms and ran through the portal
The portal fizzles out
The spell dies
The prophet coughs wow
Archangels what the heck happen
KEVIN: Clearly, the science wasn't perfect! And wow! The spell's designed to admit one person at a time. Who saw that coming?!
MICHAEL: Fix this.
A portal opens on The sidewalk
Gabriel and Lucifer plus their passenger walks out
Gabriel okay
Gabriel turns his eyes blue a yells a spell
Every human in the city freezes
Lucifer smiles okay
Gabriel, I am the Archangel Gabriel
Humans feel his message pass over them
Lucifer okay good
Gabriel remember one percent
