Supernatural s01e20 Episode Script

M.
Elkins? M.
Elkins.
Would you like another? Yeah.
Thanks, Beth.
I thought they caught the unabomber.
Yeah, poor M.
Elkins lives all alone up in the canyon.
Same seat every day, going through his papers, making his little notes.
He's a nice old man.
He's just a nut.
Here you go.
What'll you have? Jack all around.
Leave the bottle.
You hungry? We have dinner plans.
Can I get you something else, M.
Elkins? It's been a while.
I got to say, you look old.
- What do you want? - What do you think? Damn.
You can do better than that.
Come on, come on.
Nice gun.
Wouldn't do you much good, of course.
Boys We're eating in tonight.
All right, dude, not a decent lead in all of Nebraska.
What do you got? Well, I been scanning Wyoming, Colorado, south Dakota.
Here.
A woman in Iowa fell 10,000 feet from an airplane and survived.
Sounds more like "that's incredible!" than "the twilight zone".
Yeah.
Hey, you know, we could just keep heading east New York, upstate.
Could stop by and see Sarah again.
Huh? She's a cool chick, man.
Smokin'.
You two seemed pretty friendly.
What do you say? Yeah.
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, man in Colorado.
Local man by the name of Daniel Elkins who was found mauled in his home.
Elkins.
I know that name.
Doesn't ring a bell.
It sounds like the police don't know what to think.
At first they said it was some sort of bear attack, and now they found signs of robbery.
Yeah.
Here.
Check it out.
You think it's the same Elkins? It's a Colorado area code.
Looks like the maid didn't come today.
Hey, there's salt over here, right inside the door.
You mean, like, protection-against-demon salt or "oops, I spilled the popcorn" salt? It's clearly a ring.
You think this guy Elkins was a player? Definitely.
That looks a hell of a lot like dad's.
Except this dates back to the '60s.
Whatever attacked him, 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? Maybe.
Or maybe a message.
Look familiar? Three letters, six digits The location and combination of a post office box.
It's a mail drop.
That's just the way dad does it.
"J.
W.
" You think? John Winchester? I don't know.
Should we open it? Dad? Dad, what are you doing here? Are you all right? Yeah, I'm okay.
Look, I read the news about Daniel.
I got here as fast as I 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.
You never mentioned him to us.
We had a We had kind of a falling out.
I hadn't seen him in years.
I should look at that.
"If you're reading this, I'm already dead".
- 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 got to pick up their trail.
Wait.
You want us to come with you? If Elkins is telling the truth, we've got to find this gun.
- The gun? why? - Because it's important, that's why.
Dad, we don't even know what these things are yet.
They were what Danny 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.
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 bloodlust 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.
All yours, baby.
What? Well, I guess you showed that guy.
What guy? The guy who bet you you wouldn't buy that shirt.
I love this shirt.
Look out! What happened to him? Call 911.
Copy that.
Sam, Dean, let's go.
I picked up a police call.
What happened? A couple called 911.
They found a body in the street.
Cops got there.
Everyone was missing.
It's the vampires.
How do you know? Just follow me, okay? Vampires.
It's funny every time I hear it.
I don't see why we couldn't have gone over with him.
Oh, don't tell me it's already starting.
What's starting? - What do you got? - It was them all right.
It looks like they're heading west.
We have to double back to get around that detour.
- How can you be so sure? - Sam! I just want to 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.
The second set descends when they attack.
Any more questions? Let's get out of here.
We're losing daylight.
And, Dean, why don't you touch up your car before you get rust? I wouldn't have given you the damn thing if I thought you were gonna ruin it.
Vampires nest in groups of 8 to 10.
Smaller packs are sent out to hunt for food.
Victims are taken to the nest, where the pack keeps them alive, bleeding them for days or weeks.
I wonder if that's what happened to that 911 couple.
That's probably what dad's thinking.
Of 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.
Now we're not with him for more than a couple of hours and there's static already.
No.
Look, I'm happy he's okay, all right, and I'm happy that we're all working together.
Good.
It's just the way he treats us like we're children.
He barks orders at us, Dean.
He expects us to follow him without question.
He keeps us on some crap need-to-know deal.
He does what he does for a reason.
- What reason? - Our job! There's no time to argue.
There's no margin for error.
It's just the way the old man runs things.
Yeah, well, maybe that worked when we were kids, but not anymore, all right? Not after everything you and I have been through, Dean.
Are you telling me you're cool with just falling into line and letting him run the whole show? If that's what it takes.
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.
Well, how about you, babe? Attagirl.
Bo! Wait for Luther.
I missed you, too, baby.
We've got presents.
She looks interesting.
He doesn't.
Lock him up.
Let's go.
On second thought, go ahead and treat yourself.
No! There's something else.
- This all theirs? - No.
It's from an old friend of yours Daniel Elkins.
I caught his scent.
I thought I'd surprise you.
Kate, what did you do? - I made him suffer.
- You shouldn't have done that.
There are others like him.
They'll know the signs and come looking for us.
- We have to be careful.
- Luther, 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.
I've seen this before.
Elkins died with it in his hands.
He should have known better Using a gun! This is no ordinary gun.
Yeah, dad.
All right, got it.
- Pull off the next exit.
- Why? 'Cause dad thinks we got the vampires' trail.
How? I don't know.
He didn't say.
Oh, crap.
Here we go.
- Sam, what the hell was that? - We need to talk.
- About what? - About everything.
Where we going, dad? What's the big deal about this gun? Sammy, come on.
We can q&a after we kill all the vampires.
Your brother's right.
We don't have time for this.
Last we saw you, you said it was too dangerous to be together.
Now, out of the blue, you need our help.
Obviously something big's going down, and we want to know what! - Get back in the car.
- No.
I said get back in the damn car.
Yeah, and I said no.
All right, you made your point, tough guy.
Look, we're all tired.
We can talk about this later.
Sammy, I mean it.
Come on.
This is why I 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, Sam.
You walked away! - Stop it, both of you! - You're the one who said, "don't come back", dad.
You're the one who closed that door, not me! You were just pissed off you couldn't control me anymore! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! That's enough! That means you, too.
Terrific.
You like to watch, huh? Me too.
Ready, baby? 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.
Son of a bitch.
So they're really not afraid of the sun? No, direct sunlight hurts like a nasty sunburn.
The only way to kill them is by beheading.
And, yeah, they sleep during the day.
It doesn't mean they won't wake up.
So I guess walking right in's not our best option.
Actually that's the plan.
Dad, I've got an extra machete if you need one.
Think I'm okay.
Thanks.
Wow.
So You boys really want to know about this colt? Yes, sir.
It's just a story A legend, really.
Well, I thought it was.
Never really believed it until I read Daniel's letter.
Back in 1835, 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 13 bullets.
This hunter used the gun a half dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him.
Somehow, Daniel got his hands on it.
They say they say this gun can kill anything.
Kill anything, like supernatural anything? Like the demon.
Yeah, the demon.
Ever since I picked up its trail, I've been looking for a way to destroy that thing.
Find the gun we may have it.
Dean.
There's more.
Hey.
Hey, hey, shh.
I'm here to help you.
Boys, run! Dad! Dad?! Dad?! They won't follow.
They'll wait till tonight.
Once a vampire gets your scent, it's for life.
What the hell do we do now? You got to find the nearest funeral home.
It shouldn't be taking this long.
I should go help.
Dean's got it.
Sammy.
Yeah? I don't think I ever told you this, but the day you were born, you know what I did? No.
I put 100 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 $100 until Anyway, my point is, Sam, that This is never the life that I wanted for you.
Then why'd you get so mad when I left? You got to understand something.
After your mother passed, all I saw was evil, everywhere.
And all I cared about was keeping you boys alive.
I wanted you prepared ready.
So somewhere along the line, I, uh I stopped being your father.
And I I became your drill sergeant.
So when you said you wanted to go away to school, all I 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? What happened to that college fund? Spent it on the ammo.
Whoo! Man, there's some heavy security to protect a bunch of dead guys.
Did you get it? You know what to do.
Car trouble? Let me give you a lift Take you back to my place.
I'll pass.
I usually draw the line at necrophilia.
I don't normally get this friendly till the second date.
You know, we could have some fun.
I always like to make new friends.
Oh, sorry.
I never really stay with a chick that long.
Definitely not eternity.
Damn it.
Barely even stings.
Give it time, sweetheart.
That arrow's soaked in dead man's blood.
It's like poison to you, isn't it? Load her up.
I'll take care of this one.
Toss this on the fire.
Saffron, skunks, cabbage, and trillium, it'll block our scent and hers until we're ready.
- Stuff stinks.
- Well, that's the idea.
Dust your clothes with the ashes and you'll stand a chance of not being detected.
You sure they'll come after her? Yeah.
Vampires mate for life.
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.
And then I want you out of the area as fast as you can.
- But - You can't take care of them all yourself.
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 want to 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 Sammy and I have been hunting.
Hell, you sent us on a few hunting trips yourself.
You can't be that worried about keeping us safe.
It's not the same thing, Dean.
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 I'm worried about keeping you alive.
You can't be as reckless.
Look I don't expect to make it out of this fight 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? Dad, what happens if you die and we could have done something about it? You know, I've been thinking.
I think maybe Sammy's right about this one.
We should do this together.
We're stronger as a family, dad.
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.
Is there 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? It's just a truck up on the highway.
Kate.
She's in that truck.
Boo.
I told you I'd come back.
Get out! Who are you? My 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.
Trade.
Is that what this is all about? I mean, you can't shoot us all, right? We'll kill you.
Oh, I don't need it for you.
I'm saving it for something else.
Now, put the colt down or she goes first.
All right.
Just don't hurt her.
Back up.
Further.
That's a nice move.
You almost made it.
Don't! I'll break his neck.
Put the blade down.
You people.
Why can't you just leave us alone? We have as much right to live as you do.
I don't think so.
Luther! Kate, don't! So, boys Yes, sir? You ignored a direct order back there.
- Yes, sir.
- But we saved your ass.
You're right.
I am? It scares the hell out of me.
You two are all I've got.
But I guess we are stronger as a family.
So we go after this damn thing together.
Yes, sir.
