Come on, let's say good night to your brother.
Night, Sam.
Good night, love.
Hey, Dean.
- Daddy! - Hey, buddy.
Think Sammy's ready to toss around a football?
- No, Daddy. - No.
- You got him? - I got him.
Sweet dreams, Sam.
John.
John? Is he hungry?
Okay.
Sammy. Sammy.
No!
Mary?
Mary!
Mary.
Hey, Sammy.
You okay?
No! Mary!
- Daddy! - Take your brother outside...
...as fast as you can. Don't look back. Now, Dean. Go!
Mary!
No!
It's okay, Sammy.
I got you.
It's all right. I got it. Move the line up.
Here.
- A stream on the right. - Got it.
Hey, stay back. You have to stay back.
Come on. You have to stay on the curb.
Sam. Get a move on, would you?
We're supposed to be there, like, 15 minutes ago.
Sam. You coming or what?
- Do I have to? - Yes.
It'll be fun.
And where is your costume?
You know how I feel about Halloween.
So here's to Sam and his awesome LSAT victory.
It's not that big a deal.
He acts all humble, but he scored a 174.
- Is that good? - Scary good.
So there you go. You are a first-round draft pick.
- You can go to any law school you want. - I got an interview here, Monday.
If it goes okay, I think I got a shot at a full ride next year.
Hey. It's gonna go great.
- It better. - How's it feel to be...
- ...the golden boy of the family? - They don't know.
They don't know? I would be gloating. Why not?
Because we're not exactly the Bradys.
And I'm not exactly the Huxtables. More shots.
- No. - No. No. No.
Seriously, I'm proud of you.
You're gonna knock them dead and get that full ride.
I know it.
What would I do without you?
Crash and burn.
Whoa, easy, tiger.
Dean?
- You scared the crap out of me. - That's because you're out of practice.
Or not. Get off me.
- Dean, what the hell are you doing here? - Well, I was looking for a beer.
What the hell are you doing here?
Okay, all right. We gotta talk.
- The phone? - If I'd called, would you have picked up?
Sam?
Jess, hey.
Dean, this is my girlfriend, Jessica.
Wait. Your brother, Dean?
I love the Smurfs.
You know, I gotta tell you, you are completely out of my brother's league.
Just let me put something on.
No, no. No, I wouldn't dream of it.
Seriously.
I gotta borrow your boyfriend, talk about some family business.
But nice meeting you.
No.
No. Whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of her.
Okay.
Um, Dad hasn't been home in a few days.
So he's working overtime on a Miller-time shift. He'll stumble back sooner or later.
Dad's on a hunting trip.
And he hasn't been home in a few days.
Jess, excuse us.
We have to go outside.
Come on, you can't just break in, middle of the night, expect me to hit the road.
You're not hearing me, Sammy. Dad's missing. I need you to help me.
You remember the Poitergeist in Amherst?
Devil's Gates in Clifton? He was missing then. He's always missing, always fine.
Not for this long. Now, you gonna come with me or not?
- I'm not. - Why not?
I swore I was done hunting. For good.
It wasn't easy, it wasn't that bad.
Yeah? When I told Dad I was scared of the thing in my closet...
- ...he gave me a.45. - What was he supposed to do?
I was 9 years old.
He should say, "Don't be afraid of the dark."
"Don't be afraid of the dark"? You should be. You know what's there.
Yeah, I know. But the way we grew up, after Mom was killed...
...and Dad's obsession to find what killed her. But we still haven't found the thing.
- So we kill everything we can find. - Save a lot of people doing it too.
You think Mom would have wanted this for us?
The weapon training? And melting the silver into bullets?
Man, Dean, we were raised like warriors.
So, what are you gonna do? You just gonna live some normal, apple-pie life?
- Is that it? - No. Not normal. Safe.
And that's why you ran away.
I was just going to college.
It was Dad who said if I was gonna go, I should stay gone.
- And that's what I'm doing. - Well, Dad's in trouble now...
...if he's not dead already. I can feel it.
- I can't do this alone. - Yes, you can.
Yeah. Well, I don't want to.
What was he hunting?
All right. Let's see. Where the hell did I put that thing?
So when Dad left, why didn't you go with him?
I was working my own gig. This voodoo thing down in New Orleans.
Dad let you go on a hunting trip by yourself?
I'm 26, dude.
All right. Here we go.
So Dad was checking out this Two-lane Blacktop outside of Jericho, California.
About a month ago, this guy. They found his car, but he'd vanished. MiA.
- So maybe he was kidnapped. - Yeah, well. Here's another one in April.
Another in December '04, '03...
...'98, '92. Ten of them over the past 20 years.
All men, all the same five-mlle stretch of road.
It started happening more and more...
...so Dad went to go dig around. That was about three weeks ago.
I hadn't heard from him since, which is bad enough.
Then I get this voicemail yesterday.
Dean. Something is starting to happen. It's serious.
I need to try to find out what's going on.
Be very careful, Dean. We're all in danger.
- You know there's E.V.P. on that? - Not bad, Sammy.
Kind of like riding a bike, isn't it?
All right, I slowed the message down and ran it through a Goldwave...
...took out the hiss and this is what I got.
I can never go home.
"Never go home."
In almost two years, I've never bothered you, never asked you for a thing.
All right. I'll go.
I'll help you find him. But I have to get back first thing Monday.
- Just wait here. - What's first thing Monday?
I have this...
- I have an interview. - What, a job interview? Skip it.
It's a law school interview and it's my whole future on a plate.
- Law school? - So we got a deal or not?
Wait, you're taking off?
- Is this about your dad? Is he all right? - Yeah. Just a little family drama.
Your brother said he was on some hunting trip?
Oh, yeah, he's just deer hunting up at the cabin.
He's probably got Jim, Jack and Jose along with him.
- We're just gonna go bring him back. - What about the interview?
I'll make the interview. This is only for a couple days.
Sam. I mean, please.
Stop for a second.
You sure you're okay?
- I'm fine. - It's just...
...you won't even talk about your family.
Now you take off in the middle of the night to spend the weekend?
And with Monday coming up, which is kind of a huge deal-
Hey, everything's gonna be okay.
I will be back in time. I promise.
At least tell me where you're going.
Amy, I can't come over tonight.
Because I got work in the morning, that's why.
Okay, I miss it, my dad's gonna have my ass.
Hey, Amy, let me call you back?
Car trouble or something?
Take me home.
Sure. Get in.
So where do you live?
At the end of Breckenridge Road.
You coming from a Halloween party or something?
You know, um...
...a girl like you really shouldn't be alone out here.
I'm with you.
Do you think I'm pretty?
- Will you come home with me? - Um.
Hell, yeah.
Come on. You don't live here.
I can never go home.
What? What are you talking about? Nobody even lives here.
Where do you live?
That was good.
The joke's over, okay?
You want me to leave?
Hello?
Hey. You want breakfast?
No, thanks.
So how'd you pay for that stuff? You and Dad still running credit-card scams?
Yeah, well, hunting ain't exactly a pro-ball career.
Besides, all we do is apply. It's not our fault they send us the cards.
Yeah? And what names did you write on the application this time?
Burt Aframian and his son Hector.
- Scored two cards out of the deal. - Sounds about right.
I swear, man. You've got to update your cassette-tape collection.
- Why? - Well, for one, they're cassette tapes.
And two...
...Black Sabbath? Motörhead? Metallica?
