So, I've been thinking, look. Cain still has the Mark right? And he's lived with it, for years he's lived with it. So yeah, the Mark is strong, but Dean maybe there's a part of you that wants to give into it, and maybe you have to fight that, you know? Maybe part of that powerful force has to be you.
And let me just tell you being good is really annoying. Normally at a place like this, I'd be pounding Harvey Wallbangers and checking out the bartender's ass. Now all I wanna do is sip club sodas and send her to college.
Whiskey. Denial. I do my best to make things right, whatever they may be... For you maybe it's, maybe it's coming clean. You know finding a way to ask for forgiveness, but not breaking the bank at your local florist, I mean real forgiveness. You can't just bury stuff like this, you gotta deal with it.
To what? We don’t even know if there is a cure. So far we’ve got nothing, we have found nothing in the Men of Letters library, Metatron may or may not know something, and maybe Cas is onto something with Cain, maybe.
No, I'm not just going to give up. I appreciate the effort, okay I do. But the answer is not out there, it's with me. I need to be the one calling the shots here, okay? I can't keep waking up every morning with this false hope... I gotta know where I stand otherwise I'm gonna lose my freaking mind... So I'm gonna fight it, till I can't fight it anymore. And when all is said and done, I'll go down swinging.
Yes. And soon it will be a genocide. My children, my whole poisoned issue. Lot of them out there right now... killers, fighters, thieves. Some more peaceful than others, but they still carry it... the disease. If the Mark wants blood, I'll give it mine.
You know last week when I said I would go down swinging when the time came? I meant that, I was at peace with that... I just didn't realize that the time would come so soon. Like right now... I'm scared Sam.
You're holding back! What is it Dean? You think if you hold back just enough you won't succumb? That you'll leave this fight the same as you entered? Look to my example boy! There is no resisting the Mark or the Blade, there is only remission and relapse!
It's been too long. That old feeling, makes me wonder how I ever had the strength to resist... This may be hard to believe, what I'm about to do to you, but I care about you Dean, I truly do, but I know I'm doing you a favor. I'm saving you.
From your fate. Has it ever occurred to you? Have you never mused upon the fact that you are living my life in reverse. My story began when I killed my brother, and that's where your story will inevitably end.
It's called the Mark of Cain for a reason! First, first you'd kill Crowley... there'd be some strange mixed feelings on that one, but you'd have your reason, get it done, no remorse. And then you'd kill the angel Castiel, now that one, that I suspect would hurt something awful. And then... Then would come the murder you'd never survive, the one that would finally turn you into as a much of a savage as it did me... your brother Sam. The only thing standing between you and that destiny is this blade. You're welcome my son.
