NARRATOR: Previously on Supernatural:
-Dad. -Sam.
JOHN: This is bigger than you think. They're everywhere.
He wants us to pick up where he left off.
Saving people, hunting things. The family business.
I gotta find Dad.
SAM: l dreamt about Jessica's death before it happened.
DEAN: You gotta be careful, all right?
Ghosts are attracted to that ESP thing you got.
I told you, it's not ESP. I just have strange vibes.
SAM: Weird dreams. DEAN: People have weird dreams.
I have these nightmares. And sometimes they come true.
Come again?

Somebody help me!
Somebody help!
MAN 1 [ON RADlO]: I'll be home around midnight.
MAN 2 [ON RADlO]: Which one gonna bring you salvation?
Dean. Dean.
[GROANS]
What are you doing? It's the middle of the night.
We have to go.
-What's happening? -We have to go. Right now.
McReady. Detective McReady. Badge number 1 58.
I've got a signal 480 in progress.
I need the registered owner of a sedan, Michigan license plate...
...Mary-Frank-six-zero-three-seven.
Yeah, okay, just hurry.
Sammy, relax. I'm sure it's just a nightmare.
-Yeah, tell me about it. -l mean it.
A normal, everyday, naked-in-class nightmare.
This plate won't check out. You'll see.
It felt different, Dean. Real.
Like when I dreamt about our house. And Jessica.
Yeah, you were dreaming about our house, your girlfriend.
-This guy, you ever seen him before? -No.
No. Exactly. Why would you have premonitions about some random dude?
-l don't know. -Me neither.
Yes, l'm here.
Jim Miller. Saginaw, Michigan.
You have a street address?
Got it. Thanks.
It checks out. How far are we?
-From Saginaw? -Yeah.
A couple hours.
Drive faster.
[CHATTERlNG]
[CROWD CHATTERlNG]
DEAN: What happened? -Suicide.
I can't believe it.
SAM: Did you know him?
WOMAN: Saw him every Sunday at St. Augustine's.
He always seems-- Seemed so normal.
You never know what's going on behind closed doors.
-l guess not. SAM: How did--?
How are they saying it happened?
I heard they found him in the garage...
...locked inside his car with the engine running.
[WOMAN SlGHS]
Do you know what time they found him?
It just happened an hour or two ago. His poor family.
I can't even imagine what they're going through.
[SOBBlNG]
[INAUDIBLE DlALOGUE]
-Sam, we got here as fast as we could. -Not fast enough.
Which just doesn't make any sense, man.
Why have these premonitions...
...unless there was a chance I could stop them?
I don't know.
[SIGHS]
-So, what do you think killed him? -Maybe the guy just killed himself.
Maybe there's nothing supernatural going on at all.
I'm telling you, I watched it happen.
He was murdered by something, Dean. It trapped him in the garage.
-Like what? A spirit? A poltergeist? -l don't know what it was.
I don't know why I'm having the dreams. I don't know what's happening.
-What? -Nothing, man.
I'm just-- l'm worried about you.
-Well, don't look at me like that. -l'm not looking at you like anything.
-Though I gotta say, you look like crap. -Nice. Thanks.
Yeah, well.... Come on, let's just pick this up in the morning, all right?
We'll check out the house, we'll talk to the family.
Dean, you saw them. They're devastated.
They're not gonna want to talk to us.
Yeah, you're right.
But l think I know who they will talk to.
Who?
[SIGHS]
This has got to be a whole new low for us.
Good afternoon. I'm Father Simmons, this is Father Frehley.
We're new junior priests over at St. Augustine's.
May we come in?
-Thanks. -We're very sorry for your loss.
It's in difficult times when the Lord is most needed--
Look. You wanna pitch your whole "Lord has a plan" thing? Fine.
-Don't pitch it to me. My brother's dead. -Roger, please.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry about my brother-in-law.
He's just so upset about Jim's death.
-Would you like some coffee? -That'd be great.
WOMAN: It was wonderful of you to stop by.
The support of the Church means so much right now.
Of course. After all, we are all God's children.
[SAM SCOFFS]
-What? -Just tone it down a little bit, Father.
So, Ms. Miller, did your husband have a history of depression?
Nothing like that.
We had our ups and downs like everyone.
But we were happy.
I just don't understand how Jim could do something like that.
I'm so sorry you had to find him like that.
Actually, our son, Max...
...he was the one who found him.
Do you mind if maybe I go talk to him?
Oh, thank you, Father.
Max? Hey, l'm Sam.
Ms. Miller, you have a lovely home.
How long have you lived here?
We moved in about five years ago.
Hmm.
You know, the only problem with these old houses....
I bet you have all kinds of headaches.
Like what?
Well, weird leaks, electrical shortages...
...odd settling noises at night. That kind of thing?
No, nothing like that. It's been perfect.
Hmm.
That's....
-May I use your restroom? -Oh, sure.
It's just up the stairs.
Okay.
So, what was your dad like?
Just a normal dad.
Yeah. And you live-- You live at home now?
Yeah.
I'm trying to save up for school, but it's hard.
So when you found your dad....
I woke up.
I heard the engine running.
I don't know why he did it.
I know it's rough losing a parent.
Especially when you don't have all the answers.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG]
SAM: Anything? -Zip.
-So, what do you have? SAM: Nothing.
Nothing bad has happened in the house since it was built.
-The land? -No graveyards, battlefields...
...tribal lands or any kind of atrocity on or near the property.
I told you. I searched up and down.
There were no cold spots, no sulfur scent, nada.
-Family said everything was normal? -lf there was a demon or poltergeist...
...wouldn't somebody notice?
I used the infrared thermal scanner, man. There was nothing.
So, what, you think Jim Miller killed himself...
...and my dream was just some sort of freakish coincidence?
I don't know.
I'm sure that there's nothing supernatural about that house.
Yeah. Well....
You know, maybe it has nothing to do with the house.
Maybe it's just-- Gosh.
Maybe it's connected to Jim in some other way.
What's wrong with you?
-Ah! My head! -Sam.
Hey! Hey! What's going on? Talk to me.
It's happening again. Something's gonna kill Roger Miller.
Roger Miller?
No, no. Just the address, please.
Okay, thanks.
450 West Grove, apartment 1 1 20.
-You okay? -Yeah.
If you hurl, l'll pull over because the upholstery--
-l'm fine. Drive. -All right.
All right.
[SAM SlGHS]
Dean, I'm scared, man.
Nightmares weren't bad enough, now l'm seeing things while awake?
And these visions or whatever...
...they're getting more intense and painful.
Come on. lt'll be all right. You'll be fine.
What is it about the Millers?
Why am l connected to them? Why am l watching them die?
-Why is this happening to me? -l don't know, but we'll figure it out.
We face the unexplainable every day. This is just another thing.
No. It's never been us.
It's never been in the family like this.
Tell the truth. You can't tell me this doesn't freak you out.
This doesn't freak me out.
SAM: Hey, Roger! DEAN: Hey, hold up a second.
What are you, missionaries? Leave me alone.
Please!
Hey, Roger! We're trying to help!
Please. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I don't want your help.
-We're not priests! Listen to us! -You're in danger!
Come on, come on, come on.
[WlNDOW SLAMS]
Here. Start wiping down your fingerprints.
We don't want the cops to know we were here. Go! Go! Come on.
I'm gonna take a look inside.
DEAN: There was nothing in there.
No signs either, just like the Millers' house.
I saw something in the vision, like a dark shape. Something was--
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Something was stalking Roger.
Whatever it was, it's not connected to their house.
No, it's connected to the family itself.
So, what do you think? Like a vengeful spirit?
A few that have been known to latch on to families. Follow them for years.
SAM: Angiaks, Banshees.
Basically like a curse.
Roger and Jim got involved in something heavy.
-Something curse-worthy. -Now something's out for revenge.
And the men in their family are dying.
-Hey, you think Max is in danger? -Let's figure it out before he is.
Well, l know one thing I have in common with these people.
-What's that? -Both our families are cursed.
Our family's not cursed. We just had our dark spots.
Our dark spots are pretty dark.
You're dark.
My mom's resting. She's pretty wrecked.
DEAN: Of course.
All these people kept coming with, like, casseroles.
I finally had to tell them all to go away.
You know, because nothing says "I'm sorry" like tuna casserole.
-How you holding up? -l'm okay.
Your dad and your uncle were close?
Yeah, l guess. I mean, they were brothers.
They used to hang out all the time when l was little.
-But not lately, much? -No, it's not that. It's just--
We used to be neighbors when l was a kid.
We lived across town in this house...
...and Uncle Roger lived next door, so he was over all the time.
SAM: Right.
So how was it in that house, when you were a kid?
MAX: It was fine.
-Why? -All good memories?
DEAN: Do you remember anything unusual?
Something involving your father and your uncle, maybe?
Why do you--? Why do you ask?
Just a question.
No. There was nothing. We were totally normal.
-Happy. -Good.
That's good.
Well, you must be exhausted. We should take off.
Right. Yeah. Thanks.
Yeah.
Nobody's family is totally normal and happy.
See when he was talking about his house?
He sounded scared.
Max isn't telling us everything. I say we go find the old neighborhood.
Find out what life was really like for the Millers.
-You lived in the neighborhood long? -Well, almost 20 years now.
It's nice and quiet. Why? You looking to buy?
No. We were just wondering if you might recall a family...
...that used to live right across the street.
The Millers. They had a little boy named Max.
Right.
Yeah, l remember them. The brother had the place next door.
So, what's this about? That poor kid okay?
What do you mean?
In my life, I've never seen a child treated like that.
I mean, l'd hear Mr. Miller yelling and throwing things clear across the street.
He was a mean drunk.
He used to beat the tar out of Max.
Bruises. Broke his arm two times that I know of.
And this was going on regularly?
Practically every day.
In fact, that thug brother of his was just as likely to take a swing at him.
But the worst part was the stepmother.
She'd just...
...stand there, checked out. Never lifted a finger to protect him.
I must have called the police seven or eight times. Never did any good.
-You said stepmother. -l think his real mom died.
Some sort of accident. Car accident, l think.
You okay, there?
[GROANS]
-Yeah. -Thanks for your time.
-Yeah, thank you. DEAN: Come on.
God.
ALlCE: I don't know what you mean by that.
-You know l never did anything. MAX: That's right.
You didn't do anything.
You didn't stop them. Not once.
ALlCE: How did you...?
Max! Please!
[ALlCE GASPlNG]
For every time you stood there and watched.
Pretending it wasn't happening.
-l'm sorry. -No, you're not.
You just don't want to die.
[ALlCE WHIMPERS]
SAM: Max is doing it.
Everything I've been seeing.
-You're sure about this? -Yeah, I saw him.
-How's he pulling it off? -lt looked like telekinesis.
-He's psychic? He's a spoon bender? -l didn't even realize it...
...but this whole time he was there. Outside the garage when his dad died.
He was in the apartment when his uncle died.
These visions. l wasn't connecting to the Millers, I was connecting to Max.
The thing I don't get is why, man. I guess, because we're so alike?
What? He's nothing like you.
Well, we both have psychic abilities.
-We're both-- -Both what?
He's a monster. He's killed two and he's gunning for a third.
Well, with what he went through, the beatings...
...to want revenge on those people, I hate to say it, but it's not that insane.
-lt doesn't justify murdering your family. -Dean--
He's no different than anything else we've hunted. We gotta end him.
We're not going to kill Max.
Then what? Hand him over to the cops and say, "Lock him up, officer.
-He kills with the power of his mind"? -Forget it.
-No way, man. Dean. -Sam--
He's a person.
We can talk to him. Hey, promise me you'll follow my lead on this one.
All right, fine.
But l'm not letting him hurt anybody else.
You know I never did anything.
That's right.
You didn't do anything.
You didn't stop them. Not once.
Fathers?
-What are you doing here? -Uh....
DEAN: Sorry to interrupt.
Max, could we...?
Could we talk to you outside for just one second?
About what?
It's-- It's private.
I wouldn't want to bother your mother with it.
We won't be long at all, though. I promise.
-Okay. -Great.
You're not priests!
-Max, what's happening? -Shut up.
What are you doing?
-l said, shut up! -Max, calm down!
-Who are you? -We just wanna talk to you.
-Right. That's why you brought this. -That was a mistake.
So was lying about who we were. But no more lying, okay?
-Just, please, just hear me out. -About what?
I saw you do it.
I saw you kill your dad and your uncle. Before it happened.
-What? -l'm having visions, Max.
-About you. -You're crazy.
So you weren't gonna launch a knife at your stepmom? Right here?
Is it that hard to believe, Max? Look what you can do.
Max, l was drawn here, all right?
I think I'm here to help you.
No one can help me.
Let me try. We'll just talk, me and you.
We'll get Dean and Alice out of here.
DEAN: Uh-uh. No way.
Nobody leaves this house.
And nobody has to, all right? They'll just-- They'll just go upstairs.
-l'm not leaving you alone with him. -Yes, you are.
Look, Max. You're in charge here, all right? We all know that.
No one's gonna do anything you don't wanna do. l'm talking five minutes, here.
DEAN: Sam!
Five minutes.
Go.
Come on.
Look, l can't begin to understand what you went through.
-That's right, you can't. -But, Max.
-This has to stop. -lt will.
-After my stepmother. -No.
-You need to let her go. -Why?
-Did she beat you? -No.
But she never tried to save me. She's a part of it too.
Look, what they did to you, what they all did to you growing up....
-They deserve to be punished. -Growing up?
Try last week.
My dad still hit me. Just in places people wouldn't see it.
Old habits die hard, l guess.
I'm sorry.
When I first found out I could move things...
...it was a gift.
My whole life, l was helpless.
But now l had this.
So last week, Dad gets drunk.
First time in a long time.
And he beats me to hell, first time in a long time.
And then I knew what I had to do.
-Why didn't you just leave? -lt wasn't about getting away.
Just knowing that they'd still be out there.
It was about not being afraid.
When my Dad used to look at me...
...there was hate in his eyes.
Do you know what that feels like?
-No. -He blamed me for everything.
For his job. For his life.
For my mom's death.
Why would he blame you for your mom's death?
Because she died in my nursery, while l was asleep in my crib.
As if that makes it my fault.
-She died in your nursery? -Yeah.
There was a fire.
And he'd get drunk and babble on like she died in some insane way.
He said that she burned up.
Pinned to the ceiling.
Listen to me, Max.
What your dad said about what happened to your mom...
...it's real.
What?
It happened to my mom too. Exactly the same.
My nursery. My crib.
My dad saw her on the ceiling.
Your dad must've been as drunk as mine.
No, no. It's the same thing, Max. The same thing killed our mothers.
That's not possible.
This must be why l've been having visions during the day.
Why they're getting more intense.
Because you and I must be connected in some way.
Your abilities, they started six, seven months ago, right? Out of the blue?
-How'd you know that? -Because that's when mine started.
Yours seem to be much further along, but still, this means something, right?
I mean, for some reason, you and l....
You and I were chosen.
For what?
I don't know.
But Dean and I, my brother and l, we're hunting for your mom's killer.
And we could find answers, answers that can help us both.
But you gotta let us go, Max.
You gotta let your stepmother go.
No.
What they did to me....
I still have nightmares.
I'm still scared all the time, like I'm just waiting for that next beating.
I'm just tired of being scared. If l do this, it'll be over.
No, don't you get it?
It won't. The nightmares won't end, Max. Not like this.
It's just...
...more pain.
And it makes you as bad as them.
Max...
...you don't have to go through all this by yourself.
I'm sorry.
SAM: No!
Max!
No. Max!
[ALlCE SCREAMS]
[DEAN GROANlNG]
Max.
No.
DEAN: Son of a.... ALlCE: No.
Max.
No.
Max.
Stay back.
It's not about you.
You wanna kill her, you gotta go through me first.
Okay.
[GROANING]
No.
No! Ah!
ALlCE: Max.
No.
Stay back.
It's not about you.
You're gonna kill her, you gotta go through me first.
Okay.
No, don't! Don't! Please.
Please, Max.
Max...
...we can help you, all right?
But this, what you're doing...
...it's not the solution.
It's not gonna fix anything.
You're right.
No!
Max attacked me.
He threatened me with a gun.
OFFlCER: And these two?
ALlCE: They're...
...family friends.
I called them as soon as Max arrived. l was scared.
They tried to stop him. They fought for the gun.
Where did Max get the gun?
I don't know.
He showed up with it, and he....
OFFlCER: It's all right, Mrs. Miller.
I've lost everyone.
OFFlCER: Okay.
-We'll call if we have more questions. -Thanks, officer.
Come on.
If l'd just said something else....
-Gotten through to him somehow. -Oh, don't do that.
-Do what? -Torture yourself.
It wouldn't have mattered. Max was too far gone.
When I think about how he looked at me, man, right before....
-l should have done something. -Come on, man. You risked your life.
I mean, yeah, maybe if we'd gotten there 20 years earlier.
[SIGHS]
Well, l'll tell you one thing.
We're lucky we had Dad.
I never thought l'd hear you say that.
Well, he could have gone a whole other way after Mom.
A little more tequila, a little less demon hunting...
...then we would have had Max's childhood.
All things considered...
...we turned out okay.
Thanks to him.
All things considered.
-Dean, l've been thinking. -That's never a good thing.
I'm serious.
I've been thinking, why would this demon, or whatever it is...
...why would it kill Mom and Jessica and Max's mother, you know?
-What does it want? -No idea.
Well, you think maybe it was after us?
-After Max and me? -Why would you think that?
I mean, either telekinesis or premonitions...
...we both had abilities, you know? Maybe it was after us for some reason.
Sam. lf it wanted you, it would've just taken you.
Okay? This is not your fault.
-lt's not about you. -Then what is it about?
It's about that damn thing that did this to our family.
That thing that we're gonna find and kill. And that's all.
Actually, there's...
...something else too.
-Oh, jeez. What? -When Max locked me in that closet...
...with that big cabinet against the door...
...l moved it.
[DEAN CHUCKLES]
You got more upper-body strength than l gave you credit for.
No, man. I moved it. Like Max.
Oh.
Right.
Yeah.
Bend this.
-l can't turn it on and off, Dean. -How'd you do it?
I don't know. I can't control it. l just....
I saw you die and it just came out of me. Like a-- Like a punch.
You know? Like a freak adrenaline thing.
Well, l'm sure it won't happen again.
Yeah, maybe.
Aren't you worried that l could turn into Max or something?
Nope. No way.
-You know why? -No. Why?
-You've got one advantage Max didn't. -Dad?
Because Dad's not here, Dean.
No.
Me.
As long as l'm around, nothing bad is gonna happen to you.
Now, then.
I know what we need to do about your premonitions.
I know where we have to go.
Where?
Vegas.
What? Come on, man.
Craps tables? We'd clean up.
