"Vampires nest in groups of eight to ten. 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." Wonder if that's what happened to that 911 couple.
That's probably what Dad's thinking. [sullenly] 'Course, it'd be nice if he just told us what he thinks.
Sam, we've been looking for dad all year. Now we're not with him for more than a couple hours and there's static already?
[scoffs] No. Look, I'm happy he's okay, alright? And I'm happy that we're all working together again.
...It's just the way he treats us, like we're children.
[Sam angrily stops the car in front of John's truck. Sam and John angrily get out of their vehicles and walk over to each other.]
Oh, crap. Here we go. [Gets out of the car too] Sam!
About everything! Where are 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 time 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!
I said get back in the damned car.
Alright. You made your point, tough guy. Look, we're all tired. We can talk about this later.
[Dean grabs Sam and pushes him away from John.]
Sammy, I mean it. Come on.
[Muttering; his back towards John] This is why I left in the first place.
[turns to John] You heard me.
Yeah, you left. Your brother and me- we needed you. You walked away, Sam. [Grabs Sam] You walked away!
You're the one who said, "Don't come back," Dad. You're the one that closed that door, not me!! [yells] You were just pissed off you couldn't control me anymore!!
I don't think I ever told you this, but the day you were born, you know what I did?
I 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 hundred dollars, until... Anyway, my point is, Sam, that... This is never the life I wanted for you.
You gotta understand somethin'. After your mother passed, all I saw was evil... Everywhere. And all I cared about was.. 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.. your drill sergeant.
[Sam walks over to sit by John]
So when you that 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.
[Sam chuckles]
We're not different. Not anymore. With what happened to mom and Jess... [laughs] ... We probably have a lot more in common than just about anyone.
I guess you're right, Son. [smiles]
What happens if you die? Dad, what happens if you die and we coulda done something about it? You know, I've been thinking, and 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.
For the last time, what happened to them is not your fault.
Yeah, you're right, it's not my fault; but it's my problem!
No, it's not your problem; it's our problem!
Dean, uh, I want to thank ya.
For everything. You've always had my back, you know. Even when I couldn't count on anyone, I could always count on you. And, uh, I don't know, I just wanted to let you know, just in case.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you kidding me?
Don't say "just in case something happens to you"; I don't want to hear that freaking speech, man. Nobody's dying tonight, not us, not that family, nobody. Except that demon. That evil son of a bitch ain't getting any older than tonight, you understand me?
John, you made it. Too bad, really. I was hoping to kill more of your friends.
I can see where your boys get their good looks. But I must admit, considering what they say about you, I thought you'd be...taller. [John says nothing] Well, aren't you the chatty one? You wanna get to business? Fine. Why don't you hand over the gun?
If I give you the gun, how do I get out of here?
Well, if you're as good as they say you are, I'm sure you'll figure something out.
Maybe I'll just shoot you.
You wanna shoot me, baby? Go ahead. It won't end anything. There's more where I came from.
...
You're dead, John. Your boys are dead.
I never used the gun, how could I know it wouldn't work?
I am so not in the mood for this, I've just been shot!
Well then, I guess you're lucky the gun wasn't real.
That's funny, John. We're gonna strip the skin from your bones, but that was funny.
If you had just let me go in there, I could have ended all this.
Sam, the only thing you would have ended was your life.
So, what, you're just willing to sacrifice yourself, is that it?
Yeah. Yeah, you're damned right I am.
Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen — not as long as I'm around.
What the hell are you talkin' about, Dean? We've been searching for this demon our whole lives. It's the only thing we've ever cared about.
Sam, I wanna waste it. I do, okay? But it's not worth dyin' over.
I mean it. If huntin' this demon means you gettin' yourself killed, then I hope we never find the damned thing!
That thing killed Jess! That thing killed Mom!
You said yourself once...that no matter what we do, they're gone. And they're never comin' back.
Don't you say that! Don't you — not after all this, don't you say that!
[emotionally] Sammy, look...the three of us — that's all we have. And that's all I have. Sometimes I feel like I'm barely holdin' it together, man. Without you and Dad...
To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure if we should come.
Nonsense. Your daddy needs help.
Yeah, but last time we saw you, I mean, you did threaten to blast him full of buckshot. Cocked the shotgun and everything.
Yeah, well, what can I say? John just has that effect on people.
