Who are you?
I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition.

In this episode: Dean Winchester (940), Damon Salvatore (715), Sam Winchester (665), Olivia Benson (637), Stephen Fry (608), Narrator (554), Clark Kent (523), Nate (486)
I mean, I've saved some people, okay? I figured that made up for the-for the stealing and the...and the ditching chicks. But why do I deserve to get saved? I'm just a regular guy.
Apparently, you're a regular guy that's important to the Man upstairs.
Well, that creeps me out. I mean, I don't like getting singled out at birthday parties, much less by... God.
Okay, well, too bad, Dean. Because I think He wants you to strap on your party hat.
Dean Winchester, still so bossy. You don't recognize me? This is what I looked like before that demon cut off my hair and dressed me like a slut.
Meg?
Hi! It's okay, I'm not a demon.
You're the girl the demon possessed.
Meg Masters. Nice to finally talk to you when I'm not, you know, choking on my own blood. It's okay. Seriously, I'm just a college girl... sorry, was. I was walking home one night and got jumped by all this smoke. Next thing you know, I'm a prisoner... in here. You know I was awake? I had to watch while she murdered people.
Sorry.
Oh, yeah, so sorry you had me thrown off a building.
Well, we thought...
No, you didn't think. I kept waiting, praying, I was trapped in there, screaming at you, "Just help me, please!" You're supposed to help people, Dean, why didn't you help me?
I'm sorry.
Stop saying you're sorry.
It wasn't just me, Dean. I had a sister. A little sister. She worshiped me You know how little siblings are, right? How they'll do anything for you. She was never the same after I disappeared. She just... she just got lost. And when my body was lying there in the morgue, beat up? Broken? Do you know what that did to her? She killed herself! Because of you, Dean! Because all you were thinking about was your family! Your revenge and your demons! 50 words of Latin a little sooner and I'd still be alive, my baby sister would still be alive!
See, this is why I can't get behind God.
What are you talking about?
If He doesn't exist, fine. Bad crap happens to good people. That's how it is. There's no rhyme or reason. Just random, horrible, evil. I get it, okay. I can roll with that. But if He is out there, what's wrong with Him? Where the hell is He while all these decent people are getting torn to shreds? How does He live with Himself? You know, why doesn't He help?
I ain't touching this one with at 10-foot pole.
Excellent job with the Witnesses.
You were hip to all this?
I was, um, made aware.
Well, thanks a lot for the angelic assistance. You know, I almost got my heart ripped out of my chest.
But you didn't.
I thought angels were supposed to be guardians. Fluffy wings, halos. You know, Michael Landon. Not dicks.
Read the Bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a soldier.
Yeah? Then, why didn't you fight?
I'm not here to perch on your shoulder. We had larger concerns.
Concerns? There were people getting torn to shreds down here! And, by the way, while all this is going on, where the hell is your Boss, huh, if there is a God?
There's a God.
I'm not convinced. 'Cause if there's a God, what the hell is He waiting for, huh? Genocide? Monsters roaming the earth? The freaking Apocalypse? At what point does He lift a damn finger and help the poor bastards that are stuck down here?
The Lord works...
If you say, "mysterious ways," so help me, I will kick your ass. So, Bobby was right... about the Witnesses... this is some kind of a... sign of the Apocalypse.
That's why we're here. Big things afoot.
Do I want to know what kind of things?
I sincerely doubt it, but you need to know. The Rising of the Witnesses is one of the 66 Seals.
Okay. I'm guessing that's not a show at Sea World.
Those Seals are being broken. By Lilith.
She did the spell. She rose the Witnesses.
Mm-hmm. And not just here. Twenty other hunters are dead.
Of course. She picked victims that the hunters couldn't save so that they would barrel right after us.
Lilith has a certain sense of humor.
Well, we put those spirits back to rest.
It doesn't matter. The Seal was broken.
Why break the Seal anyway?
You think of the Seals as locks on a door.
... Okay. Last one opens and...
Lucifer walks free.
Lucifer? But I thought Lucifer was just a story they told at demon Sunday school. There's no such thing.
Three days ago, you thought there was no such thing as me. Why do you think we're here walking among you now for the first time in 2,000 years?
To stop Lucifer.
That's why we've arrived.
Well... bang-up job so far. Stellar work with the Witnesses. That's nice.
We tried. There are other battles, other Seals. Some we'll win, some we'll lose. This one we lost. Our numbers are not unlimited. Six of my brothers died in the field this week. You think the armies of heaven should just follow you around? There's a bigger picture here. You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of hell. I can throw you back in.
What is this?
What does it look like?
Is it real?
Very.
Okay, so, what? Angels got their hands on some DeLoreans? How did I get here?
Time is fluid, Dean, it's not easy, but we can bend it on occasion.
Well, bend it back, or tell me what the hell I'm doing here!
I told you. You have to stop it.
Stop what? Huh? What, is there something nasty after my dad? [Dean turns as a car horn sounds. When he turns back Castiel is gone.] Oh, come on! What, are you allergic to straight answers, you son of a bitch?!
Sammy, wherever you are, Mom is a babe. I'm going to Hell. Again.
So what? God's my copilot, is that it? [Castiel just looks at him, and Dean glances over again.] Well, you're a regular Chatty Kathy. Tell me something, Sam would have wanted in on this. Why not bring him back?
You had to do this alone, Dean.
And you don't care that he's tearing up the future looking for me right now?
Sam's not looking for you.
Alright, if I do this, then the family curse breaks right? Mom and Dad live happily ever after, and- and, Sam and I grow up playing Little League and chasing tail?
You realize, if you do alter the future, your father, you, Sam, you'll never become hunters. And all those people you saved, they'll die.
I realize.
And you don't care?
Oh, I care. I care a lot. But these are my parents. I'm not gonna let them die, again. I can't, no, not if I can stop it.
[to Dean] You know what I'm gonna do to your sibling? I'm gonna stand over their crib and I'm gonna bleed into their mouth. Demon blood is better than Ovaltine. Vitamins, minerals... it makes you big and strong!
For what? So they can lead your discount demon army? Is that your big plan?
Please. My end game's a hell of a lot bigger than that, kid.
I couldn't stop any of it. She still made the deal. She still died in the nursery didn't she?
Don't be too hard on yourself, you couldn't have stopped it.
What?
Destiny can't be changed Dean. All roads lead to the same destination.
Dean, what are you doing? What, are you, are you leaving?
You don't need me. You and Ruby go fight demons.
Hold on. Dean, come on, man. [Dean punches Sam in the face] You satisfied? [Dean hits him again] I guess not.
Do you even know how far off the reservation you've gone? How far from normal? From human?
I'm just exorcising demons.
With your mind! What else can you do?
I can send them back to hell. It only works with demons, and that's it.
What else can you do?!
I told you!
And I have every reason in the world to believe that.
Look, I should have said something. I'm sorry, Dean. I am. But try to see the other side here.
The other side?
I'm pulling demons out of innocent people.
Use the knife!
The knife kills the victim! What I do, most of them survive! Look, I've saved more people in the last five months than we save in a year!
That what Ruby want you to think? Hm? Kind of like the way she tricked you into using your powers? Slippery slope, brother. Just wait and see. Because it's gonna get darker and darker, and God knows where it ends.
I'm not gonna let it go too far.
[smashes lamp] It's already gone too far, Sam. If I didn't you know... I would wanna hunt you. And so would other hunters.
You were gone. I was here. I had to keep on fighting without you. And what I'm doing... it works.
Well, tell me. If it's so terrific, then why'd you lie about it to me? Why did an angel tell me to stop you?
What?
Cas said that if I don't stop you, he will. See what that means, Sam? That means that God doesn't want you doing this! So, are you just gonna stand there and tell me that everything is all good?
Sam loves research. He does. He keeps it under his mattress right next to his KY.
You want to know why I've been lying to you, Dean? Because of crap like this!
Like what?
The way you talk to me, the way you look at me like I'm a freak!
I do not.
You know, or even worse, like I'm an idiot! Like I don't know the difference between right and wrong! What?
Do you know the difference, Sam? I mean, you've been kind of strolling a dark road, lately.
You have no idea what I'm going through. None.
Then enlighten me!
I've got demon blood in me, Dean. This disease pumping through my veins and I can't ever rip it out or scrub it clean. I'm a whole new level of freak! And I'm just trying to take this - this curse... and make something good out of it. Because I have to.
[to Jack Montgomery] Listen to me. You've got this dark pit inside you. I know. Believe me, I know. But that doesn't mean you have to fall into it. You don't have to be a monster.
JJack
[laughs] Have you seen me lately?
It doesn't matter what you are. It only matters what you do. It's your choice.
