APOCALYPSE WORLD

Dean and Ketch come through the rift to land in the snow-covered Apocalypse World.

"Ah, well...here we are." Ketch Says

"Yeah." Dean Says

"You do know where we are, don't you? Because, not to be a nag, but we've only got 24 hours before..." Ketch Says

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give me-give me a minute." Dean Says

"...the rift closes." Ketch Says

"Look, we just got spin-cycled through space and time, okay? And yes, this is...different than my last drop-by. And what's this "we" crap, hmm? You came here to save yourself, so... go save yourself, somewhere else." Dean Says

"Well, actually, I thought I could help." Ketch Says

"What?" Dean Says

"Find the boy, find your girlfriend and your...mother. She's in danger. I owe her that." Ketch Says

"You know, she sees you, she'll probably kill you. Again." Dean Says

"Perhaps, but you don't know where you are or what's out there or even...you get the picture.
Would having a little bit of backup really
be so bad?" Ketch Says

Dean and Ketch continue on together, walking alongside a river, where the rocks and trees are covered in snow. It's obviously very cold, they
walk underneath a bridge.

"Well, this is quite the vacation spot, isn't it?" Ketch Says

"Yeah. If you had your heart set on Mai Tais, well...sorry." He spots movement on the bridge.
"Down. Down. Down. Down. Down." Dean Says

A group of soldiers walk onto the bridge. They have three prisoners, their heads covered with hoods, execution style.

"Is this everyone?" He Asks

"Yes, Commander."

"For high crimes of fomenting rebellion against the archangel Michael, these humans shall be executed." He Says

One of the soldiers removes the hood from the head of a woman. Another soldier places his hand on the women's forehead. He is an angel and he uses his powers to execute the woman.

"Freakin' angels." Dean Says

Dean reaches for a weapon, but Ketch discourages him.

"Not smart." Ketch Says

Dean watches as the second prisoned is executed in the same manner. The hood is removed from the third prisoner. We see a red-headed woman from behind, As the angel moves in to execute her, the Commander stops him.

"No." Dean Says

"Wait." He Says

"Charlie?" Dean Says

"I know you. You're not the usual human scum." He Says

"Not the slickest hook-up line, Captain Charm." Charlie Says

"You're with the Resistance. Inner circle. She's met with the Nephilim, and the two other-worlders, Mary and Elena. Michael will want her at the Northern Camp, for interrogation." He Says

"Champ, when the Resistance crushes you, I'm gonna be there to shred your feathers and grind them into dust." He Says

The Commander grabs AW Charlie by the throat and Dean again wants to go in, but Ketch stops him.

"Dean..." Ketch Says

The commander releases his grip on AW Charlie "Looking forward to it." He Says

The angels disappear into thin air, while Dean and Ketch look on.
