NARRATOR: Previously on Supernatural:
-Dad. -Sam?
DEAN: This is bigger than you think. They're everywhere.
SAM: This demon killed Mom and Jess, and Dad's closing in.
-We gotta help. -Dad doesn't want our help.
I'm talking one week here, man. To get answers. To get revenge.
-You think l didn't respect Dad. -Sorry I brought it up.
SAM: No matter what, it was never good enough.
-So, what, Dad was disappointed in you? -When we finally do find Dad...
...l don't know if he's even gonna wanna see me.
-Hey. Dad? JOHN: Hey, boys.
-Hi, Sam. -Hey, Dad.
Last time we were together we had one hell of a fight.
-Yes, sir. -lt's good to see you again.
It's been a long time.
We almost got Dad killed in there. They're not gonna stop.
DEAN: They're gonna try again. They're gonna use us to get to him.
Dad's vulnerable when he's with us.
-l gotta be a part of this fight. -Sammy, this fight is just starting.
JOHN: You gotta let me go.
[COUNTRY MUSlC PLAYlNG]
[POOL BALLS CLACKING]
WOMAN: Mr. Elkins?
Mr. Elkins. Would you like another?
Yeah. Thanks, Beth.
Thought they caught the Unabomber.
Yeah, poor Mr. Elkins lives all alone, up the canyon.
BETH: Same seat every day.
Going through his papers, and making his little notes.
He's a nice old man, he's just a nut.
Here you go.
[LAUGHlNG]
What will you have?
-Jack all around. Leave the bottle. -You hungry?
-We have dinner plans. -Okay.
Hmm.
Can l get you something else, Mr. Elkins?
It's been a while.
I gotta say, you look old.
-What do you want? -What do you think?
Damn.
You can do better than that.
Come-- Come on, come on.
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
Nice gun.
Wouldn't do you much good, of course.
WOMAN: Boys?
We're eating in tonight.
[ELKINS SCREAMlNG]
Dude, not a decent lead in all of Nebraska. What do you got?
Well, l've been scanning Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota.
Here, a woman in lowa fell 1 0,000 feet from an airplane and survived.
Sounds more That's Incredible! than Twilight Zone.
-Yeah. -Hey, you know...
...we could just keep heading east.
New York? Upstate?
You could stop by and see Sarah again, huh?
She's a cool chick, man. Smoking.
[WHlSTLES]
You two seemed pretty friendly. What do you say?
Yeah, l don't know. Maybe someday. But in the meantime...
...we got a lot of work to do, Dean, and you know that.
Yeah, you're right. What else you got?
Uh, Manning, Colorado. A local man by the name of Daniel Elkins...
-...was found mauled in his home. -Elkins? I know that name.
-Doesn't ring a bell. -Elkins. Elkins. Elkins.
The police don't know what to think.
SAM: At first they said it was some bear attack...
...and now they found signs of robbery.
Mm-hm.
Yeah.
There. Check it out.
-Think it's the same Elkins? -lt's a Colorado area code.
Looks like the maid didn't come today.
Hey, there's salt here, right inside the door.
You mean like protection-against-demons salt...
...or oops-l-spilled-the-popcorn salt?
It's clearly a ring.
SAM: You think this guy Elkins was a player?
DEAN: Definitely.
SAM: That looks a hell of a lot like Dad's.
Yeah, except this dates back to the '60s.
SAM: Whatever attacked him, it looks like there was more than one.
Looks like he put up a hell of a fight too.
Yeah.
You got something?
I don't know. Some scratches in the floor.
-Death throes, maybe? -Yeah, maybe.
Or maybe a message.
Look familiar?
Three letters, six digits.
The location and combination of a post office box.
-lt's a mail drop. -lt's just the way Dad does it.
"J.W." You think? John Winchester?
I don't know. Should we open it?
[BANGlNG ON WINDOW]
Dad?
What are you doing here? Are you all right?
Yeah, l'm okay.
Look, l read the news about Daniel.
I got here as fast as l could.
I saw you two up at his place.
-Why didn't you come in, Dad? -You know why.
Because I had to make sure you weren't followed...
...by anyone or anything.
Nice job of covering your tracks, by the way.
Yeah, well, we learned from the best.
Wait, so you came all the way out here for this Elkins guy?
Yeah. He was....
He was a good man.
He taught me a hell of a lot about hunting.
Well, you never mentioned him to us.
We had a....
We had kind of a falling-out.
I hadn't seen him in years.
JOHN: I should look at that.
"If you're reading this, I'm already dead."
JOHN: That son of a bitch. -What is it?
-He had it the whole time. -Dad, what?
When you searched the place, did you see a gun?
An antique, a Colt revolver. Did you see it?
Uh, there was an old case, but it was empty.
-They have it. -You mean whatever killed Elkins?
We gotta pick up the trail.
-Wait, you want us to come with you? -lf Elkins was telling the truth...
-...we've gotta find this gun. -The gun? Why?
-Because it's important, that's why. -We don't know what these things are.
JOHN: They were what Daniel Elkins killed best:
Vampires.
Vampires? I thought there was no such thing.
You never even mentioned them, Dad.
I thought they were extinct.
I thought Elkins and others had wiped them out.
I was wrong.
JOHN: Most vampire lore is crap.
A cross won't repel them, sunlight won't kill them...
...and neither Will a stake to the heart. but the blood lust, that part's true.
They need fresh human blood to survive.
They were once people, so you won't know it's a vampire until it's too late.
[GLASS SHATTERlNG]
All yours, baby.
[CHUCKLlNG]
What?
-Well, l guess you showed that guy. -What guy?
The guy who bet you you wouldn't buy that shirt.
I love this shirt.
No, look out!
[TlRES SCREECHING]
-What happened to him? -Call 91 1 .
WOMAN [OVER RADlO]: Unit 22, let me confirm.
Mile marker 41 , abandoned car. You need a Workup?
Copy that. Possible 207. better get Forensics out here.
-Sam, Dean, let's go. DEAN: Mm-hm.
JOHN: I picked up a police call. -What happened?
A couple called 91 1 , found a body in the street.
Cops got there, everyone was missing. It's the vampires.
How do you know?
Just follow me, okay?
[SCOFFS]
Vampires. Gets funnier every time l hear it.
[CHATTER OVER POLICE RADlO]
SAM: l don't see why we couldn't have gone with him.
-Oh, don't tell me it's already starting. -What's starting?
-What do you got? -lt was them, all right.
Looks like they're heading west. We have to get around that detour.
-How can you be sure? -Sam.
I just wanna know we're going in the right direction.
-We are. -How do you know?
I found this.
It's a vampire fang.
No fangs, teeth. A second set descends when they attack.
Any more questions?
All right, let's get out of here, we're losing daylight.
Hey, Dean, why don't you touch up your car before you get rust.
I wouldn't have given you the damn thing if l thought you were gonna ruin it.
Vampires nest in groups of eight to 1 0.
Smaller packs are sent out to hunt for food.
Victims are taken to the nest.
The pack keeps them alive, bleeding them for days or weeks.
I wonder if that's what happened to that 91 1 couple.
That's probably what Dad's thinking.
Course, it would be nice if he just told us what he thinks.
So it is starting.
What?
Sam, we've been looking for Dad all year.
We're with him a couple hours and there's static already?
No. Look, l'm happy he's okay, all right?
I'm happy we're all working together again.
Well, good.
It's just the way he treats us like we're children.
-Oh, God. -He barks orders at us, Dean.
He expects us to follow them without question.
He keeps us on some need-to-know deal.
-He does what he does for a reason. -What reason?
Our job.
There's no time to argue, it's just the way the old man runs things.
Well, maybe that worked when we were kids, but not anymore.
Not after everything you and I have been through.
You telling me you're cool with falling into line, letting him run the whole show?
If that's what it takes.
[COUNTRY MUSlC PLAYlNG]
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Have some beer, buddy. It'll calm your nerves.
-No, thanks. -Oh, come on.
You drink enough, I can taste it in your blood.
That's gross.
[CHUCKLES]
How about you, babe?
Attagirl.
-You--! KATE: Bo!
Wait for Luther.
[LAUGHlNG]
[MOANlNG]
I missed you too, baby.
We've got presents.
She looks interesting.
He doesn't. Lock him up.
MAN: Let's go.
[CHUCKLlNG]
On second thought, go ahead and treat yourself.
MAN: Yeah.
[SCREAMlNG]
There's something else.
-This all theirs? -No.
It's from an old friend of yours, Daniel Elkins.
I caught his scent and l thought l'd surprise you.
Kate, what did you do?
-l made him suffer. -You shouldn't have done that.
-Luther-- -There are others like him.
They'll know the signs and come looking. We have to be careful.
I did it for you, for what he did to your family.
Revenge isn't worth much if you end up dead.
I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry.
I thought you might like that.
Looks like it was made around the time you were born.
-l've seen this before. -Elkins died with it in his hands.
He should've known better, using a gun.
This is no ordinary gun.
Yeah, Dad. All right, got it.
-Pull off the next exit. -Why?
-Dad thinks we've got the vampires' trail. -How?
I don't know. He didn't say.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[TlRES SCREECHING]
DEAN: Ah, crap. Here we go. Sam! -What the hell was that?
SAM: We need to talk. -About what?
About everything.
Where are we going? What's the big deal about this gun?
We can q and a after we kill all the vampires.
-We don't have time for this. -Last time we saw you...
...it was too dangerous to be together. Now you need our help.
Something big is going down and we wanna know what.
-Get back in the car. -No.
-l said, get back in the damn car. -Yeah, and l said no.
DEAN: You made your point, tough guy.
We're tired, we can talk about this later. I mean it.
-Come on. SAM: This is why l left in the first place.
-What'd you say? -You heard me.
Yeah. You left.
Your brother and me, we needed you.
-You walked away. You walked away. DEAN: Stop it, both of you.
You're the one who said, "Don't come back."
You're the one who closed that door.
You were just pissed off you couldn't control me anymore.
Listen. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. That's enough.
That means you too.
[CAR DOOR SLAMS]
Terrific.
[MOANlNG]
LUTHER: You like to watch, huh?
Me too.
Ready, baby?
[SOBBlNG]
Are you gonna kill me?
I'm gonna take you so high, you're never gonna come down.
Welcome home, baby.
I know what time it is.
Get in.
DEAN: Son of a bitch.
So they're really not afraid of the sun?
Direct sunlight hurts like a nasty sunburn.
The only way to kill them is by beheading.
And yeah, they sleep during the day.
Doesn't mean they won't wake up.
So l guess walking right in is not our best option.
Actually, that's the plan.
Hey, Dad. l've got an extra machete if you need one.
Think l'm okay, thanks.
Wow.
So....
You boys really wanna know about this Colt?
Yes, sir.
It's just a story. A legend, really.
Well, l thought it was.
I never really believed it until I read Daniel's letter.
JOHN: back in 1 835, when Halley's Comet was overhead...
...the same night those men died at the Alamo...
...they say Samuel Colt made a gun.
A special gun.
He made it for a hunter. A man like us, only on horseback.
The story goes, he made 1 3 bullets.
This hunter used the gun a half dozen times...
...before he disappeared, the gun along with him.
Until somehow, Daniel got his hands on it.
They say....
They say this gun can kill anything.
Kill anything, like supernatural anything?
Like the demon.
JOHN: Yeah, the demon.
Ever since I picked up its trail...
...l've been looking for a way to destroy that thing.
Find the gun...
...we may have it.
[GLASS CLINKlNG]
Dean.
[RATTLING]
There's more.
[MUMBLlNG]
Hey.
Hey, hey. Shh. I'm here to help you.
[SCREAMlNG] No!
DEAN: Sam!
JOHN: Boys, run!
SAM: Dad!
Dad?
Dad!
They won't follow. They'll wait till night.
Once a vampire gets your scent, it's for life.
-What the hell do we do? -You gotta find the nearest funeral home.
It shouldn't be taking this long. I should go help.
Dean's got it.
Sammy.
Yeah?
I never told you this...
...but the day you were born, you know what l did?
-No. -l put a hundred bucks...
...into a savings account for you.
I did the same thing for your brother.
It was a college fund.
And every month, I'd put in another $1 00 until....
Anyway, my point is, Sam...
...that this was never the life that l wanted for you.
Then why did you get so mad when l left?
You gotta understand something.
After your mother passed...
...all l saw was evil. Everywhere.
And all l cared about was--
Was keeping you boys alive.
I wanted you...
...prepared.
Ready.
See, somewhere along the line, I--
I stopped being your father...
...and l-- l became your-- Your drill sergeant.
So when you said that you wanted to go away to school...
...all l could think about, my only thought...
...was that you were gonna be alone.
Vulnerable.
Sammy, it just-- It never occurred to me what you wanted.
I just couldn't accept the fact that you and me, we're just different.
What?
We're not different.
Not anymore.
With what happened to Mom and Jess...
...we probably have a lot more in common than just about anyone.
I guess you're right, son.
Hey, Dad?
Whatever happened to that college fund?
Spent it on ammo.
[LAUGHlNG]
Whew.
Man, some heavy security to protect a bunch of dead guys.
You get it?
You know what to do.
KATE: Car trouble?
Let me give you a lift, take you back to my place.
I'll pass. I usually draw the line at necrophilia.
Ooh.
[GRUNTlNG]
I don't normally get this friendly till the second date, but....
You know, we could have some fun.
I always like to make new friends.
Sorry.
Don't really stay with a chick that long. Definitely not eternity.
Damn it.
KATE: Barely even stings.
Give it time, sweetheart.
Arrow's soaked in dead man's blood.
It's like poison to you, isn't it?
Load her up. l'll take care of this one.
Toss this on the fire. Saffron, skunk's cabbage and trillium.
It'll block our scent, and hers, until we're ready.
-Stuff stinks. -That's the idea.
Dust your clothes with the ashes and you might not be detected.
You sure they'll come after her?
Yeah. Vampires mate for life.
[GROANING]
She means more to the leader than the gun.
But the blood-sickness is gonna wear off soon...
...so you don't have a lot of time.
Half-hour ought to do it.
-Then l want you out of the area fast. -But--
Dad, you can't take care of them all.
I'll have her. And the Colt.
But after, we're gonna meet up, right?
Use the gun together.
Right?
You're leaving again, aren't you?
You still wanna go after the demon alone.
You know, I don't get you.
-You can't treat us like this. -Like what?
-Like children. -You are my children.
I'm trying to keep you safe.
Dad, all due respect, but that's a bunch of crap.
-Excuse me? -You know what we've been hunting.
Hell, you sent us on a few hunting trips yourself.
-You can't be that worried about us. -lt's not the same thing.
Then what is it? Why do you want us out of the big fight?
This demon...
...it's a bad son of a bitch.
I can't make the same moves if l worry about keeping you alive.
You can't be as reckless.
Look...
...l don't expect to make it out of this in one piece.
Your mother's death...
...it almost killed me.
I can't watch my children die too. I won't.
What happens if you die?
What happens if you die and we could've done something about it?
You know, I've been thinking. I....
Maybe Sammy's right about this one. We should do this together.
We're stronger as a family. We just are. You know it.
We're running out of time.
You do your job and you get out of the area.
That's an order.
-Any sign of those three? -No. Something else.
-What? -Luther, they cut off Hank's head!
And Kate?
I don't know. She wasn't there.
What are we gonna do?
Just a truck, up on the highway.
Kate.
She's in that truck.
[CREAKING]
Boo.
[WOMAN COUGHlNG]
I told you l'd come back.
LUTHER: Get out.
-Who are you? -Name's Winchester.
-Where are your friends? -Cleaning out your nest.
Where's Kate?
Come here, sweetheart.
Kate, you all right?
Dead man's blood.
You son of a bitch.
I want the Colt, Elkins' gun. A trade.
Is that what this is about? I mean, you can't shoot us all.
We'll kill you.
Oh, l don't need it for you.
I'm saving it for something else.
Put the Colt down or she goes first.
All right.
Just don't hurt her.
Back up.
Further.
It's a nice move. You almost made it.
[GLASS SHATTERlNG]
Nope. I'll break his neck. Put the blade down.
[GRUNTlNG]
You people.
Why can't you just leave us alone?
-We have as much right to live as you do. JOHN: I don't think so.
[SCREAMlNG] Luther!
Kate, don't!
So, boys....
Yes, sir?
You ignored a direct order back there.
-Yes, sir. -Yeah, but we saved your ass.
You're right.
-l am? -lt scares the hell out of me.
You two are all I've got...
...but l guess we are stronger as a family.
So we go after this damn thing.
Together.
[IN UNlSON] Yes, sir.
