(Night, inside a house. A woman is running away from her pursuers. She runs into her room. She sits on her bed, and she tries to calm down. Suddenly, something catches her ankle, then she falls on the floor. She screams, and tries to catch the table. A frame falls, and we can see a picture of John Winchester.)
SUPERNATURAL
(On the coast. Sam brushes his teeth, while Dean is still asleep in the Impala. He wakes up and tries to get out of the car.)
SAM : Hey ! How did you sleep ?
DEAN : How do you think ? I'm starving, let's get breakfast.
SAM : Where ? We're like two hours from anything.
DEAN : But I'm hungry now.
SAM : There's probably still a sandwich in the backseat.
(Dean catches the bag on the backseat, and smiles. He smells inside the bag, and sighs.)
DEAN : It's tuna.
(A phone rings. Dean throws the bag into the car, and searches inside his pockets. He understands the phone is ringing inside the car.)
SAM : Isn't that Dad's phone ?
(Dean nods in agreement, then picks up the phone.)
DEAN : Hello ?
(The voice of a young man, called Adam Milligan, can be heard. He seems a little shy.)
ADAM : Hum, is this John ?
DEAN : He can't come to the phone. Can I help you ?
ADAM : Hum, no, no, no I really.... I need to talk to John. This is Adam Milligan. He knows me.
DEAN : Well, sorry to be the one to break this to you pal, but John died. More than two years ago. (Adam seems chocked.) Who is this ?
ADAM : I- I'm his son.
(Dean's face breaks down. The brothers go to Windom, Minnesota, where they stop to a little cafe. They get out of the car, and Dean opens the trunk.)
SAM : Dean, look, best I can tell, Adam Milligan is real. Um, born September twenty-ninth, 1990 to Kate Milligan. No father listed on the birth certificate. He's an Eagle Scout. Graduated from high school with honors and currently goes to the University of Wisconsin—biology major, pre-med. Dean ? You're listening ?
DEAN : This is a trap.
(They come in the cafe, and sit to a table in the back.)
SAM : Dean. I'm telling you, the kid checks out.
DEAN : Great, so he's an actual person on the planet Earth. Sucks he's got a demon in him.
(The waitress comes to them.)
WAITRESS : Hi. Welcome to Cousin Oliver's.
SAM : Thanks.
WAITRESS : Can I-?
DEAN : We're actually waiting on somebody.
(The waitress throws them the menu, and leaves.)
SAM : Thank you. (Dean pours one of the glasses behind them.) What are you- ? (Then he puts in the glass some holy water.) Holy water ?!
DEAN : Yop. One sip of Jesus juice, this evil bitch is gonna be in a world of hurt.
(He puts the glass on the table, then he takes some silver cutlery.)
SAM : And what if he's not possessed Dean ?
DEAN : He is a shapeshifter.
SAM : Hence the silver.
(Dean replaces the actual cutlery by the silver ones.)
DEAN : Look either way, this thing is gonna bleed. I mean, using Dad as bait ? That's the last mistake of its short pitiful life. (Sam stares at him.) What ? What ?
SAM : Dean... Listen. There's an entry on Dad's journal from january of 1990. Saying he's headed to Minnesota to check out a case. That's roughly oh, about nine months before the kid was born.
DEAN : Coincidence.
SAM : Coincidence ? Next two pages of the journal. (He shows to Dean that there are two pages missing in the journal.) Torn out.
DEAN : You're not actually buying this, are you ?
SAM : Look, man, I won't believe it either ! I'm just saying it's possible. I mean Dad would be gone for weeks at a time, and he wasn't exactly a monk. I mean, a hunter rolls in a town, kills a monster, saves a girl... sometimes the girl's grateful.
DEAN : Well, now I'm thinking about Dad sex. Stop talking.
SAM : Maybe he slipped one past the goalie.
DEAN : Dude !
(Sam smiles, then Adam comes in.)
SAM : Adam ?
(Adam sees them and walks to them.)
ADAM : You're Sam ?
SAM : Yeah, uh... This is Dean.
ADAM : Hey. (He sits at the table.) So hum... How did you know my dad ?
SAM : Hum, we worked together.
ADAM : Alright. How did he die ?
SAM : On the job.
ADAM : He was a mechanic, right ?
DEAN : A car fell on him.
(The waitress comes back.)
WAITRESS : Hey Adam ! How are you doing ?
(Dean takes the glass.)
DEAN : Uh, I'll take that. I am very thirsty.
WAITRESS : The usual, Adam ?
ADAM : Uh... yeah. Thanks, Denise.
(Adam drinks, but nothing happens.)
SAM : So hum... what's the last time you saw John ?
ADAM : I don't even know. It's... couple years.
(Under the table, Dean prepares his gun.)
SAM : Why did you decide to call him now ?
ADAM : I didn't who else to call. He's the only family I got. My mom's missing.
SAM : Really ? I'm sorry. Uh, for how long ?
DEAN : It's tragic, really. But if you're John's kid... how could we've never heard of you ?
ADAM : Cause John and I didn't really know each other. Not until a few years ago, anyway.
SAM : What do you mean ?
ADAM : My mom never talked about him. I knew some stuff.
DEAN : What kind of stuff ?
ADAM : My mom's a nurse, and... Dad came into the E.R, pretty torn up. Hunting accident or something. I knew his name. John Winchester. That's about it. We're not exactly a nuclear family.
SAM : Yeah, well, who is these days ?
DEAN : So when did you, uh, when did you finally meet him ?
ADAM : When I was twelve. My mom had one of his old numbers. And after I begged her, God twenty-four seven, she finally called him. (Under the table, Dean prepares to fire.) God, when John heard he had a son, he raced to town. I mean, he dropped everything. He drove all night.
(The waitress gives a plate to Adam.)
WAITRESS : There you go.
ADAM : Thanks.
DEAN : Well, that's heartwarming.
ADAM : (shows the plate) You mind ?
DEAN : Oh, please, dig in.
(Adam doesn't touch the cutlery, so Dean presses on the gun.)
ADAM : He would swing by, once a year or so. (Adam finally takes the cultery, so Dean has to put away his gun.) You know. Called when he could. But, still... He taught me poker, and pool, and even bought me my first beer when I was fifteen. And uh... He showed how to drive. Dad, he has this beautiful 67 Impala-
DEAN : Oh, this is crap ! You know what ? You're lying.
ADAM : No, I'm not.
DEAN : Oh, yes you are.
ADAM : I'm sorry, but who are you to call me a liar ?
DEAN : We are John Winchester's sons. That's who. We are his sons.
(Adam is shocked.)
ADAM : I've got brothers ?!
DEAN : No, you don't have brothers. Look, man, I don't know if you're a hunter or what kind of game you're playing here.
ADAM : I have never been hunting in my life.
DEAN : Whatever. I'm outta here. Come on, Sam.
(Dean gets up, and starts to leave.)
ADAM : I can prove it.
INT. MILLIGAN HOUSE – DAY
(Dean holds a framed picture of Adam and John ; John is wearing a baseball cap. Sam and Dean examine the picture.)
DEAN : He took you to a baseball game?
ADAM : Yeah, when I turned fourteen. Dad was around for a few of my birthdays.
(Sam holds John's journal, open to a page he reads from.)
SAM : September twenty-ninth, two thousand four. One word. 'Minnesota.'
DEAN : He took you to a freakin' baseball game?
ADAM : Yeah. Why? What'd Dad do with you on your birthday?
(Adam takes the picture back.)
DEAN
Oh...
(Dean frowns. Adam looks away.)
SAM : Adam, you said you called Dad because your mom was missing.
ADAM : Yeah.
SAM : How long has she been gone?
ADAM : Three days.
DEAN : Who was the last person to see her?
ADAM : Mr. Abbinanti, our neighbor. He saw her come home Tuesday night, but she never showed up to work on Wednesday.
(Dean sees another picture, this one of John hugging Kate. Kate resembles Mary.)
SAM : Did you call the police?
ADAM : Mom's supervisor at the hospital did. And then I drove down here as fast as I could (Adam pauses.) I should have been here.
DEAN : What'd the, uh, what'd the cops say?
ADAM : That they, uh, they searched the house. They didn't find anything.She wouldn't leave without telling anybody. It's like she just dropped off the face of the earth, you know?
INT. KATE'S ROOM – DAY
(Dean shifts Kate's dresser. Seeing nothing behind it, he shifts it back. There are more pictures on the dresser: one of Kate, John, and a younger Adam, and one of Kate and a very small Adam. Dean focuses on the one with John.)
DEAN : The, uh, nightstand was knocked over. Was there anything else?
ADAM : Oh, not really. The sheriff said there's no sign of a break-in. (Dean looks around.) What, you think the cops missed something?
DEAN : Maybe. Yeah. They don't have my eyes.
ADAM : You're a mechanic.
DEAN : Yeah. That's right.
(Adam hesitates.)
ADAM : Dean, what else can you tell me about Dad?
DEAN : You knew him.
ADAM : Not as well as you.
DEAN : Trust me, kid, you don't want to know. (Sam appears at the door, holding up a handful of papers.) Give us a minute.
(Dean leaves.)
INT. HALLWAY – DAY
(Dean and Sam stop walking.)
DEAN : You talk to the cops?
SAM : Yeah. Like Adam said, no leads on his mom.
DEAN : Shocker there.
SAM : But I did find this. (Sam goes through papers till he finds a copy of the Windom Gazette dated January 9, 1990. The headline is "Missing Bodies Found" and the subtitle "Seventeen bodies recovered from abandoned shed".) Um...here. In nineteen ninety, there were seventeen grave robberies in Windom.
DEAN : You think that's why dad came through here?
SAM : I'd say so. Check it out.
(Sam points at the photo accompanying the article. Dean takes a closer look. John is in the background of the photo. Dean nods.)
DEAN : All right, so he was hunting something. What?
SAM : No idea. Those were the pages he threw out of the journal. But last month, the corpse snatching started up again. Three bodies from the local cemetery.
DEAN : So whatever he was after, he didn't kill it. It's back.
SAM : And, what, it's stepped up its game to fresh meat? I mean, Kate's missing, and, uh— (Sam goes to the next paper. This one's a copy of a photo of a man in large black glasses, Joe Barton.) So is a local bartender—a guy named Joe Barton.
(Dean takes the photo.)
INT. KATE'S BEDROOM – DAY
(Adam is sitting on Kate's bed. Dean comes to the door and holds up the photo.)
DEAN : Hey, does your mom know Joe Barton?
ADAM : Uh, I don't think so. Why? (Dean looks back at Sam, then at Adam. A long pause. Dean notices something by Adam's feet: scratches on the floor. Dean comes over for a closer look.) What is it?
DEAN : Watch out. (Dean flips up the edge of the comforter and looks under the bed, then gets up.) Give me a hand with the mattress. (Dean tosses the pillows aside and with Adam's help moves the mattress off the bedframe. Under the bed is a vent large enough to fit someone through. Sam looks at it. Dean looks at Sam. They raise their fists for rock-paper-scissors. Sam picks rock, Dean scissors. Sam smirks and Dean waves his arms, frustrated, then puts his hands on his hips.) Every time.
AIR DUCT
INT. AIR DUCT – DAY
(A thump, the sound of the vent cover coming off, and light from a flashlight fills the duct. There are red stains along the duct. Dean shines the light around, then slides inside. There is a T-junction at the end of the duct he's in.)
DEAN : Why didn't I pick paper?
(Dean crawls to the T-junction. More red stains: blood. Dean crawls a bit further; to one side is another vent cover, undisturbed. Dean has a pistol in his other hand, which he points around the corner before he leans around himself. There is a large amount of blood and bits of flesh or bone in the duct.)
MOTEL ROOM
INT. MOTEL ROOM – DAY
(Dean cleans a shotgun. A knock at the door. Dean turns. A closeup of the motel card—they're at the Kismet Motel, advertising fishing charters and happy hour in the Sonny Buono Lounge—and Sam opens the door. Adam enters.)
ADAM : Who the hell are you?
SAM : Adam, hey. (Sam closes the door behind Adam. Dean flips a cloth over the shotgun.) Take it easy.
ADAM : No, don't tell me to take it easy, okay? My house is a crime scene, my mom's probably dead, and you two—well, you tell me to call the cops, But you got to bail before they show? So, who are you really? (Silence.) Cops didn't know where to look for my mom, Dean, but you did. And I heard you talking earlier—something about grave robberies. (Adam spots the end of the shotgun poking out from under the cloth.) You're not mechanics. I just want to know what's going on. (Silence.) Please.
SAM : We're hunters.
DEAN : Sammy!
SAM : He deserves to know, Dean.
ADAM : What do you mean, 'hunters'?
(Dean shakes his head.)
MOTEL ROOM, LATER
EXT. KISMET MOTEL – DAY
(The Impala and Adam's truck outside the Kismet Motel.)
INT. MOTEL ROOM – DAY
ADAM : Okay, so...basically, you're saying that every movie monster, every nightmare that I’ve ever had, that's all real?
DEAN : Godzilla's just a movie.
SAM : We hunt them. So did Dad.
(Adam nods.)
ADAM : Okay.
DEAN : "Okay"? That's it?
ADAM : What am I supposed to say?
DEAN : That we're liars, that we're crazy. Nobody just says "okay."
ADAM : You're my brothers. You're telling me the truth, right?
DEAN : Yeah.
ADAM : Then I believe you. Now, what took my mom?
SAM : We're not sure. Something's in town stealing bodies, living and dead, but we don't know what.
DEAN : There's a long list of freaks that fit the bill.
ADAM : You think maybe she might still be alive? (Dean looks down. Adam turns to Sam. Sam looks down. Adam nods, realizing, and looks down.) Oh. How can I help?
DEAN : You can't.
ADAM : This thing killed my mom. If you're hunting it, I want in.
DEAN : No.
SAM : Dean, look, maybe—
DEAN : Maybe what?
SAM : He lost his mother. Maybe we can understand what that feels like.
DEAN : Why do you think Dad never told us about this kid, Sam? Huh? Why do you think he ripped out the pages?
SAM : Because—
DEAN : Because he was protecting him!
SAM : Dad's dead, Dean.
DEAN : That doesn't matter! He didn't want Adam to have our lives, okay? And we are gonna respect his wishes.
ADAM : Do I get a say in this?
DEAN : No!
SAM : No.
(Dean heads for the door.)
DEAN : Babysit the kid.
SAM : Where are you going?
(Dean grabs his jacket.)
DEAN : I'm going out!
(Dean leaves. Sam sighs.)
ADAM : Is he always like that?
(Sam laughs.)
SAM : Welcome to the family. (Adam looks down.) Here. (Sam pulls out his gun and ejects the clip.) I'm gonna teach you a few things.
ADAM : Uh, Dean said—
SAM : I know what Dean said. (Sam holds the unloaded gun out to Adam.) And I know what it's like to want revenge.
MILLSAP TOMB
INT. TOMB — DAY
(The cemetery director escorts Dean, who is in FBI suit and tie.)
DIRECTOR : This tomb was built in 1926. Four generations of the Millsap family were interred here.
DEAN : They don't build 'em like this anymore.
DIRECTOR : Tell me, Agent Nugent, have you thought about where you might like to spend eternity?
(Dean hesitates.)
DEAN : All the damn time. (Dean looks around the tomb.) So, three bodies went missing. Any idea who did it?
DIRECTOR : Hooligans. Sick, deranged hooligans.
(Dean notices something spilled on the side of the tomb. He touches it, smells it, and recoils.)
DEAN : This isn't blood. What is this?
DIRECTOR : No, it's embalming fluid. Whoever committed this crime didn't just take the corpses. They opened them up.
(Dean looks up.)
BAR
INT. BAR – NIGHT
(Dean takes a seat at the empty bar and unfolds the papers he's carrying. The bartender spots him and fills a glass at the tap.)
BARTENDER : First beer's on the house for cops. Feds too.
DEAN : Am I that obvious?
BARTENDER : I know all the local badges. (She sets the glass in front of Dean.) And you've got that...Law & Order vibe. (The bartender picks up a cloth and starts drying another glass.) So, what's the FBI doing in Windom?
DEAN : Looking into the disappearance of Joe Barton. (Dean slides the photo of Joe across the bar. The bartender looks at it, stricken.) I assume you knew him?
BARTENDER : A little. I'm his wife. Lisa.
DEAN : Well, Lisa, what can you tell me about his disappearance?
LISA : Same thing I told the sheriff. He stayed late Friday before last to do inventory. Never came home.
(Dean takes the glass of beer.)
DEAN : And the police?
LISA : Nothing. Truth is, I was scared they stopped looking. But now you're here.
(Dean looks at the photos behind the bar. One is of Joe in a police uniform.)
DEAN : Joe was a cop?
LISA : Deputy. For a little while. That was a looong time ago.
DEAN : He didn't happen to work the, uh, the grave robbery case, back in 'ninety?
LISA : He did. Yeah. Joe was the one who found those bodies. He got an award for that.
DEAN : That was an interesting case. (Framed near the police!Joe photo is the "Missing Bodies Found" article.) He ever tell you how he did it?
(Dean scans the newspaper photo for John.)
LISA : Most of the time, he said good, solid police work. But after a few beers, he'd admit he had a little help.
DEAN : From who?
LISA : A 'specialist'. That's all he'd say.
DEAN : Cops ever find the guy that stole the bodies?
(Dean takes a drink.)
LISA : No. But when I asked Joe about it, he'd say not to worry—that "we took care of what done it."
MOTEL ROOM
INT. MOTEL ROOM – NIGHT
(Adam is practicing disassembling a gun while Sam cleans a shotgun.)
ADAM : Sam...how did Dad really die?
SAM : Demon.
ADAM : You hunted it down? Got revenge?
SAM : Dean killed it.
ADAM : So it's over for you.
(Sam looks at Adam.)
SAM : It's never over.
(The lights go out. Something rattles.)
ADAM : What the—
SAM : Shh. (Sam and Adam stand.) Stay here. (Sam loads the shotgun, approaching the door. He opens the door and looks around, aiming the shotgun in whichever direction he's looking; nothing. A noise behind Sam; he turns and aims in its general direction. Again. There's a vent near the ceiling; Sam aims at that.) It's in the vents. Go!
(Sam fires at the vent, then hustles Adam out of the room, following right behind.)
EXT. KISMET MOTEL – NIGHT
(They hurry down the stairs.)
SAM : Where's your car?
ADAM : Over here.
SAM : All right, keys.
ADAM : Here. (Adam heads for the passenger side of his truck, Sam for the driver's side. While Sam fumbles with the keys, something grabs his ankle, yanking him to the ground and under the truck. Sam grabs the truck to resist.) Sam! (The Impala pulls up.) Dean, help!
(Adam grabs Sam's arms and pulls him free. Dean gets out of the car, grabs the dropped shotgun, and fires. Dean looks at Sam, Sam looks at Adam, Adam flops onto the ground.)
(Adam's truck backs out of the space. He'd parked right over a sewer grate, which is half open. Dean gets out of the truck and approaches the grate, aiming the shotgun. There's blood on the edge. Dean gets up and heads past Sam, who is leaning on the hood of the Impala.)
DEAN : I winged it. Did you see anything?
SAM : I didn't get a good look.
DEAN : What the hell is this thing?
SAM: Why—who—should we go after it?
DEAN : No, no. In that maze? That thing's long gone.
SAM : All right, so, we don't know what it is, but we do know who it's going after. Joe Barton, Adam's mom—
DEAN : And Adam. It was under his truck, just waiting for him.
SAM : It sets a trap, and I walked right into it.
DEAN : Doesn't matter. You're right—there's a pattern. Joe Barton was a cop. I'm pretty sure he helped out Dad. So we've got him, Dad's girl, and his son.
SAM : All the people Dad knew in town.
DEAN : At least we know why it's back.
ADAM : It wants revenge.
(Dean and Sam look at Adam.)
MILLIGAN HOUSE
INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT
(The door opens and Adam, Dean, and Sam enter.)
DEAN : Grab your stuff. We'll hit the road.
(Adam flips on the lights and heads upstairs. Sam sits at the kitchen table.)
SAM : We shouldn't leave.
(Sam thumps his injured ankle on another chair.)
DEAN : Yeah, let's stay here, where the kid's mom got ganked. Good one.
SAM : I'm serious.
DEAN : No, Sam, we're gonna take the kid, we're gonna drop him off at Bobby's, and then you and me are gonna come back here and finish what Dad started.
(Sam stops moving, an ace bandage in one hand.)
SAM : How? We got no leads, no witnesses. We do have what this thing wants.
DEAN : You want to use the kid as bait? That's why you want to stay here?
SAM : Maybe this thing will come back. We could train Adam—get him ready.
DEAN : He could die, Sam.
SAM : We could all die, Dean. Even if we do kill this thing, there are tons of other freaks that want revenge, on Dad, on us. What if they find the kid instead and he's not ready?
(Sam unrolls the ace bandage and starts wrapping his ankle. Adam returns, backpack over one shoulder.)
ADAM : I'll do it. Whatever it takes, I’ll do it. I want to do it.
(Dean looks at Sam, who looks at Adam.)
'SHOOTING RANGE'
EXT. OUTDOORS – DAY
(Three gunshots. The first one makes a hole in a piece of metal, through which Sam and Adam are visible, Sam holding a gun. The other side of the metal is a sign, "NO TRESPASSING", "TRESPASSING ON THIS PROPERTY IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN", "VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW IN ACCORDANCE WITH MINNESOTA PENAL CODE 555.512.457.800.8", on which two red rings have been spraypainted. There are three small holes close together inside the smaller ring. Sam lowers the gun.)
ADAM : Whoa.
SAM : It's easy. Just feel the recoil and time the trigger pulls. Three taps.
(Sam holds the gun out to Adam.)
ADAM : Yeah?
SAM : Go ahead.
(Adam takes the gun and moves in front of Sam. He fires three times, kicking up leaves; all three shots hit the sign, fairly close together, one on and two inside the inner ring. Sam grins. A distance away, Dean, leaning against the Impala, shakes his head and looks away.)
ADAM : Beginner's luck, right?
SAM : Nah, man. You're a natural. Good shooting.
(Sam claps Adam on the back.)
ADAM : Thanks.
MILLIGAN HOUSE
INT. KITCHEN – DAY
(Books, one on "HELLHOUNDS", one on "THE ALL-WATCHING BAPHOMET", one on "AFFLICTIONS OF GHOSTS", one on something not visibly named (the legible text says 'in Europe', 'references are rare as they were carefully', and 'fear of panicking the population'); all are illustrated. The last appears to show something exploding out of someone's chest.)
SAM : So, then we lit it on fire.
ADAM : With a homemade flamethrower?
SAM : Yeah. They're easy to build. I'll show you.
ADAM : That is some job you got, man.
SAM : Being a hunter isn't a job, Adam. It's life. You're pre-med. You got a girlfriend, friends?
(Adam nods.)
SAM : Not anymore you don't. If you're really gonna do this, you can't have those kinds of connections, ever. They're weaknesses. You'll just put those people in danger, get them killed. (Dean, across the room, looks away.) That's the price we pay. You cut 'em out, and you don't look back. There's only one thing you can count on. Family.
DEAN : Sam. (Sam looks over.) Can I talk to you? (Dean gets up and goes over by the stairs. Sam follows.) What the hell was that?
SAM : What?
DEAN : 'Hunting is life. You can't have connections.' Dad gave you that exact same speech, remember? It was just before you ditched us for Stanford. You hated Dad for saying that stuff, and now you're quoting him?
SAM : Yeah, well, turns out Dad was right.
DEAN : Since when?
SAM : Since always. Dean, when I look at Adam, you know what I see?
DEAN : A normal kid.
SAM : No. Meat. Because for the demons and monsters out there, that's all he is. I hated Dad for a long time. I did. But now I think I understand. So we didn't have a dog and a white picket fence. So what? Dad did right by us. He taught us how to protect ourselves. Adam deserves the same.
DEAN : Listen to yourself, man.
SAM : You think I’m wrong?
DEAN : I think it's too late for us. This is our life. This is who we are, okay? And it's fine. I accept that. But with Adam, he's still got a chance, man. He can go to school. He could be a doctor.
SAM : What makes Adam so special?
DEAN : What, are you jealous of the kid?
SAM : Are you? (A pause.) Dean...all this...it's not real. The dad Adam knew—he wasn't real. The things out there in the shadows—they are real. The world is coming to an end. That's real. Everything else is just part of the crap people tell themselves to get through the day.
DEAN : Dad didn't have a choice with us, okay? But with Adam, he did. Adam doesn't have to be cursed.
SAM : He's a Winchester. He's already cursed.
DEAN : No. No, whatever's hunting Adam, I’m gonna find it.
SAM : You already looked everywhere, Dean.
DEAN : Well, then I’ll look again.
(Dean leaves.)
TOMB
EXT. ROAD – NIGHT
(The Impala drives past and into the cemetery.)
INT. TOMB – NIGHT
(Dean opens the tomb. He turns on a flashlight and shines it around. He spots a loose stone, large enough to hide a tunnel, and works it out of the wall with a crowbar. There is indeed a tunnel behind it. Dean shines the light along the tunnel. He shakes his head and crawls in. At the far end of the tunnel is another room.)
DEAN : Home sweet home. (Dean shines the light around. He steps in blood; there's quite a lot of it next to a severed arm and a pair of large black glasses. Dean picks those up and looks at them.) Sloppy Joe. (Dean hears something in the tunnel and fires several times. The tunnel collapses.) Oh, son of a bitch ! (Dean tries to make a call. No signal.) Son of a bitch.
MILLIGAN HOUSE
INT. ASSORTED ROOMS – NIGHT
(Sam pours salt along every window and door. Adam nails boards over every vent.)
INT. KATE'S BEDROOM – NIGHT
(The vent in the floor, vent cover mostly off, remains unsalted and un-nailed-closed. Sam and Adam stand over it.)
SAM : All right. We've closed off every other way into the house. If this thing's coming, it's coming through there.
(A creak, like a door opening.)
ADAM : You were saying?
KATE : Adam ! Adam !
ADAM : Mom ?
SAM : No.
ADAM : Mom !
SAM : Adam !
(Adam takes off downstairs. Sam chambers a shotgun round and follows.)
INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT
ADAM : Mom.
SAM : Adam, wait!
KATE: It took me, but I got away.
ADAM : It's okay.
KATE : I got away.
(Adam hugs Kate. Sam aims the shotgun.)
SAM : Adam, step away from her.
ADAM : Sam, what the hell?!
SAM : She's not your mother!
KATE : Adam, who—what is going on?
TOMB
INT. TOMB – NIGHT
(Dean kicks at the door out of the tomb. It remains sealed. Dean explores, pushing a skeleton out of the way with a foot. There is a sealed coffin with relatively fresh blood on the outside. Dean opens the coffin: it's Kate Milligan. Most of her.)
MILLIGAN HOUSE
INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT
SAM : Get away from him!
'KATE' : What is going on?
SAM : You listen to me.
ADAM : It's really her, okay?
SAM : There was too much blood. Your mother's dead. There was too much blood in the vents!
(Sam shoves Adam away from 'Kate'. Adam takes the shotgun.)
'KATE' : Adam!
SAM : Shoot it!
'KATE' : He's crazy! It's me!
(Adam points the gun at 'Kate', then at Sam, looking confused and terrified.)
SAM : Look—Adam!
'KATE' : It's me!
SAM : That's not your mother! Shoot it! It's not human!
(Adam levels the gun at 'Kate' and smirks.)
ADAM : I know.
(Adam hits Sam on the chin with the butt of the shotgun. Sam goes down. 'Kate' smiles.)
TOMB
INT. TOMB – NIGHT
(Dean opens another coffin. This one has the corpse of Adam Milligan. Dean puts a hand to his mouth; there's quite a lot of blood. Dean, now aware that his brother's alone with a monster, redoubles his efforts to escape. He looks around; there's a stained-glass window above him, depicting an angel.)
MILLIGAN HOUSE
INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT
('Kate' is humming. Sam is tied to a table, unconscious. When he stirs, he notices he's tied at wrists and ankles, with duct tape across his waist. 'Kate' is cleaning her fingernails with the point of a knife.)
SAM : Silver. No wonder none of the tests worked. You're not shapeshifters. You're ghouls.
'KATE' : You know, I find that term racist. (She emphasizes the point by waving her knife. 'Kate' sniffs him from hand to neck and nibbles his ear.) Fresh meat. So much better than what we're used to.
SAM : I should have known. It was the fresh kills that threw me. Ghouls don't usually go after the living. See, you're just filthy scavengers, feeding off the dead—taking the form of the last corpse you choke down.
'ADAM' : And their thoughts. And their memories. Like Adam, for instance.
'KATE' : Well, we are what we eat.
SAM : You're monsters.
('Kate' draws the knife across Sam's arm, drawing blood.)
'ADAM' : You know, you use that word a lot, Sam. ('Kate' drinks Sam's blood. 'Adam' thunks the knife into the table by Sam's head.) But I don't think you know what it means.
('Kate' looks up.)
'KATE' : His blood, it tastes different.
'ADAM' : Our father was a monster? Why? Because of what he ate? He never hurt anyone, Sam. Living, anyway.
('Kate' pulls the knife free.)
'KATE' : No. He was no monster. But the thing that killed him was. A monster named John Winchester.
(Sam looks at her.)
TOMB
INT. TOMB – NIGHT
(Dean breaks a long piece of metal off one of the coffins and tries to use it to pry the door open. It doesn't work.)
DEAN : Holy crap.
(Dean stacks one coffin on another, stands on them, and uses the metal bar to smash through the stained-glass window. Dean grabs the edge of the window and swings himself out.)
MILLIGAN HOUSE
INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT
(There's a stab wound in Sam's side; 'Adam' digs a finger into it.)
'KATE' : Thanks to your daddy, my brother and I grew up on our own. At least we had each other.
('Adam' licks his finger.)
'ADAM' : Like you and your brother. Inseparable.
'KATE' : Actually, it was very hard to get you on your own.
'ADAM' : Like you said, Sam, the only thing you can count on is family.
('Kate' drinks some more blood, then licks her fingers.)
'KATE' : And for twenty years, we lived like rats.
'ADAM' : Graveyard after graveyard, all that stinking flesh.
'KATE' : Then we thought, 'hey, why not move up to fresher game?'
'ADAM' : And we knew just where to start. ('Adam' digs the point of the knife into the cut in Sam's arm.) Revenge—it's never over, is it, Sam?
'KATE' : First, it was John's cop friend, and then his slut, and then his son.
('Kate' points with the knife at herself, then at 'Adam'.)
'ADAM' : Then I called John, but the son of a bitch was already dead.
'KATE' : So I guess you and Dean will have to do instead.
'ADAM' : Dean won't interrupt us this time. we're gonna feed on you nice and slow—like we did with Adam.
'KATE' : Oh, and, by the way, he really was your brother. (Sam struggles.) You should know that.
'ADAM' : He was still alive when we took our first bites.
'KATE' : And he was a screamer.
('Kate' and 'Adam' each open gashes along one of Sam's arms. Blood drips into bowls placed to catch it.)
'ADAM' : Sam, the more you struggle, the faster you're gonna bleed out. So you might as well lie back and relax.
DEAN : Hey!
(Dean appears, aiming a shotgun. He fires and 'Adam' hits the wall, a hole through his shoulder.)
SAM : Dean, they're ghouls!
(DEAN pauses, then fires at 'Kate'. Blood spatters the wall; her headless corpse collapses.)
DEAN : Which means head-shot.
('Adam' slams Dean, breaking a lot of glass on the way down. Dean grabs 'Adam' and slams him down, then takes his metal bar and tries to slam 'Adam's' head. 'Adam' dodges. They fight; 'Adam' goes down, and Dean beats his head in. Silence falls.)
SAM : Dean!
(Dean comes over to Sam and cuts through the ropes and duct tape, grabbing a couple towels on the way. He helps Sam sit up and uses the towels as pressure bandages, murmuring the whole time.)
DEAN : Come on. Come on. Come on. Hang on. All right, here we go. Here we go. Hang on, buddy. All right.
SAM : Thank you.
DEAN : That's what family's for, right? Keep pressure on that.
EXT. FOREST – NIGHT
SAM : You sure we should do this?
(Adam's body, wrapped in sheets, is lying on a pyre. Dean opens a bottle of lighter fluid.)
DEAN : Ghouls didn't fake those pictures. They didn't fake Dad's journal. (Dean sprinkles lighter fluid over Adam.) Adam was our brother. He died like a hunter. He deserves to go out like one.
SAM : Maybe we can bring him back. Get a hold of Cas, call in a favor.
DEAN : No, Adam's in a better place. (Dean lights a match and tosses it on the pyre. Adam's body goes up in flames.) You know, I finally get why you and Dad butted heads so much. You two were practically the same person. (Sam looks over.) I mean, I worshipped the guy, you know? I dressed like him, I acted like him, I listen to the same music. But you were more like him than I will ever be. And I see that now.
SAM : I'll take that as a compliment.
DEAN : You take it any way you want.
