Family Matters

Hotel Room nighttime, Castiel says "You're right. He looks terrible, You did this?" Sam says "Cas? What's -- Grunts "Let me go." Castiel asks Dean "Has he been feverish?" Dean says to Sam Have you?" Sam says "No. Why?" Castiel asks "Is he speaking in tongues? Are you speaking in tongues?" Sam says "No. What are you... Are you diagnosing me?" Dean says "You better hope he can." Sam says "You really think that this is --" Dean asks "What, you think that there's a clinic out there for people who just pop out of hell wrong? He asks, you answer! Then you shut your hole. You got it?" Castiel asks "How much do you sleep?" Sam says " I don't." Sarah asks "At All?" Sam says "Not since I got back." Dean says "And it never occurred to you that there might be something off about that?!" Sam says "Of course it did, Dean. I-I just never told you or Sarah." Dean says "What?" Castiel asks Sam " Sam... What are you feeling now?" Sam scoffs " I feel like my nose is broken." Castiel says "No, that's a physical sensation. How do you feel?" Sam says "Well, I think --" Castiel interrupts "Feel?" Sam says "I... don't know What? Uh..." Castiel says "This will be unpleasant." Sam says "What?" Castiel says "Bite down on this. If there's someplace that you find soothing, you should go there. In your mind."

After sometime, Dean asks "Did you find anything?" Castiel says "No." Sarah says "So that's good news?" Castiel says "I'm afraid not. Physically, he's perfectly healthy." Dean says "Then what?" Castiel says "It's his soul. It's gone." Dean scoffs "Um... I'm s-- I'm sorry. One more time, like I'm 5. What do you mean, he's got no --" Castiel says "Somehow, when Sam was resurrected, it was without his soul." Dean asks " So, where is it?" Castiel says "My guess is... Still in the cage with Michael and Lucifer." Dean says " So, is he even still Sam?" Castiel says "Well, you pose an interesting philosophical question." Dean says "Well, then, just get it back." Castiel says "Dean." Dean says "Well, you pulled me out." Castiel says "It took several angels to rescue you, and you weren't nearly as well guarded. Sam's soul is in Lucifer's cage. There's a difference, a big difference. It's not possible." Dean says "Okay, well, there's got to be a way." Sam asks "So, are you gonna untie me?" Dean simply answers "No."

Sam says "Listen, I'm not gonna --" Dean says "Sam, how the hell am I even supposed to let you out of this room?" Sam says "I'm sorry. It won't ever happen again. Please let me go." Dean says "You're kidding, right?" Sam says "Well, what are you two gonna do, just keep me locked up in here forever?" Dean says "You say that like it's a bad thing." Sam says "Okay, fine, look, I get it. I get it, Dean. I was wrong. But I'm telling you both I-I'm trying to get right. It's still me." Dean asks "Is it?" Sam says "Yes. So just let me go." Dean says "No way in hell." sighs and then Sam says " I didn't want it to come to this. You're not gonna hold me, Dean -- Not here, not in a panic room, not anywhere. You're both stuck with the soulless guy, so you might as well work with me, Let's fix this." Dean says "Me and Sarah gonna be watching every move you make." Sam says "Fine. Sounds about right to me." Dean says "Cas, clean him up."

Sarah says "All right, if we're gonna figure out what happened to your soul, then we need to find who yanked you out." Dean says "You say you don't know?" Sam says "No Idea." Dean says " Then we start a list. If it's so hard to spring someone out of the box, then who's got that kind of muscle?" Castiel asks " I don't know. You have no memory of your resurrection?" Sam says " I woke up in a field. That's all I got." Sarah asks "No clues? None?" Sam says "I've got one." In the Impala nighttime, Campbell Compound Dean says "Gramps throw a barbecue, leave us off the e-vite list?" Christian says "Sam! Sarah! laughs "Ahh. Dean." Dean says "Hello, Newman. Where's the man?" Clears throat and Samuel says "Come right on in." Dean says " Need to ask you a few questions." Samuel asks "What's wrong?" Dean says "The day you got back, what happened?" Samuel says "We've been over this."

Dean says "Well, recap it for our wingman." Castiel appears, Samuel says "This Castiel? You're scrawnier than I pictured." Castiel says "This is a vessel. My true form is approximately the size of your Chrysler building." Dean says "All right, all right, quit bragging. So, you were dead, and..." Samuel says "And, pow, I was on Elton ridge. Don't know how. Don't know why. I got nothing to hide, guys." Sarah asks "Well, you mind if Cas here double-checks?" Samuel screams, Sam says "Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay." Christian asks "What the hell?" Sarah says "Angel cavity search." Samuel says " I'm fine, Christian. Just give us a minute." Christian says "But..." Samuel says "Just give us a minute." Door closes, "hat the hell was that about?" Castiel says "His soul is intact." Samuel says "What? Of course I have a -- What's going on, Sam?" Sam says "Whatever dragged me out... left a piece behind." Samuel groans "Did you know?"

Samuel says "No, but I... I knew it was something. I... You're a hell of a hunter, Sam, but... the truth is, sometimes you scare me. So, what's the deal here? How do we fix this? How do we get his soul back?" Dean says "We don't know yet, but we have to." Samuel says "Well, I'm here to help, of course. What leads you working?" Sarah says "A bunch of dead ends and you." Samuel says " Well, then, we'll just have to dig." Castiel says "Sarah, Sam and Dean... I have to get back." Dean says "You're leaving?" Castiel says " I'm in the middle of a civil war." Dean says "ou better tear the attic up, find something to help Sam." Castiel says "Of course. Your problems always come first. I'll be in touch." Air whooshes, Samuel says "Would've asked him to stick around for a beer." Dean asks "So, what's with the book club outside?" Samuel says "Putting together a hunt." Dean says "That's a lot of guys for one hunt." Sam says "You found him, didn't you?" Dean asks "Who?" Sarah says "He's got a lead on the alpha vamp."

Dean asks "Do you?" Samuel says "Maybe. Yeah." Dean asks "How'd you track him down?" Samuel just says "We're good." Dean says "That's all I get? "We're good"?" Sam asks "When's the run?" Samuel says "Dawn." Sam asks "You didn't call me or Sarah? Why?" Dean says "Cause of me. You don't trust me very much, do you? Especially when it comes to big game like this." Samuel says "That's not true." Dean says "kay, well, then, we're in." Samuel says "No offense, but --" Dean says "So you don't trust me." Samuel says "No, I just don't know you. Not like I know Sam and Sarah even though she's not blood related or anything but to me she's apart of this family even when you was both engaged." Dean says "All right. You call the plays. 100%. I'm here to listen." Samuel chuckles "Since when?" Dean says "Big daddy bloodsucker? I ain't gonna miss that. But this is your deal. Okay? I get it. I'll follow your lead. I trust you."

Campbell Compound Nighttime, Dean says " don't trust him. Dude's hiding something." Sam says "What?" Dean says " I can feel it and if you weren't Robo-Sam, you'd feel it, too and you too Sarah." Sarah says "Huh." Dean says "What?" Sarah says "Just...You. Saying you don't trust family." Dean says " Look, we hang close, we blend in, we see what we can pick up." Sam says "You think Samuel's connected to this whole soul thing?" Dean says " I still think he's the only lead we got." Christian asks "You lost, Dean?" Dean says "Had to make a phone call. Just needed some privacy." Christian says "Oh. Samuel's locked office is pretty private." Dean says "Wasn't locked." Christian asks "Who you calling?" Dean says "Your wife. Let her know I'm not gonna make it over tonight." Christian says "You know, I've tried playing nice, Dean, but I think I'm done." Dean says "Wait, are you trying to tell me that you're a bigger knob than you've been letting on?" Christian says "I'm the guy who's been here, doing my job. Who are you? You think we need you here? You walk around like you're playing pro tennis. Only action you seen lately is between your slut girlfriend's legs and your ex-fiancees as well but you forgot about her not even a few hours maybe, You sure you want to come with us tomorrow? Accidents happen." Dean says "Hmm. Don't worry, man. I got your back."

Wilderness Daytime, Samuel says "The house is just over the hill. About a dozen vamps and the alpha. We got one shot at this son of a bitch, Christian, take flank. The rest of you are with me and Sam. Sarah, Dean and Gwen ... hang back, sweep any stragglers we flush out. Problem, Dean?" Dean says "No, sir." Gwen says " I'm in the rear with the reject?" Samuel says "All right, let's go." Sam says "Don't worry. It's fine." Dean says "No, nothing's fine. You're not fine. Go. Go." Gwen says "Sorry about the "reject" thing." Dean says "Ah, I've been called worse." Gwen says "Just, uh, get sick of getting left behind. Think it's probably 'cause I remind him of his daughter or something." Dean says "Well, you just speak your mind." Gwen says "I'll take that as a compliment." Dean says "You should." Branches snapping, Machete slices and a thud, Gwen says "You're welcome." Gunshots "We're supposed to wait here!" More Gunshots and a woman screaming and then a man screaming girl says "Dean." Samuel says "Sam, Careful, now!" Sam says "Yeah. Got him." Samuel says "Get in."

Gwen asks "Where were you?" Samuel asks "Everything all right here?" Gwen says "Just, uh, chopped up a runner. No big deal. How'd it go?" Samuel says "Rough, but one alpha down." Dean asks "Where is it? Want to pay my last respects." Samuel says "Well, bring marshmallows. Already on the pyre." In the Impala, Dean asks "Things go okay back there?" Sam says "Fine." Sarah says "Nothing weird?" Engine shuts off, Dean says "We saw you walk that alpha out the door, Sam. Now, call me crazy... But that seems weird." Sam sighs "Oh...You two weren't supposed to know about that." Dean says "Know what?" Sam says "It's just something Samuel's been doing. Catching things, taking them somewhere, grilling them for info." Dean says "Grill. Torture, right? And not telling me and Sarah -- that was his idea?"Sam says "No, it was mine." Sarah asks "Why?" Sam says "Honestly? 'Cause you'd both mess it up. You'd both shoot , ask questions later, and we needed to ask questions." Dean says "You know, I-I don't care if you've got soullessness or the freakin' mumps, man -- You know better than this! Do you even want your soul back"

Sam asks "How does that have anything to do --" Sarah then asks " Have you been to the place where Samuel takes them? I mean, have you been in on these interrogations?" Sam says "No, but I hear --" Dean asks "And why? And did it ever occur to you that this is really shady?" Sam says "He's our grandfather." Dean says "Yeah. Yeah, a guy who talks a great game. But you can't assume that family means the same thing to him as it does to us. He's not Dad. Wow. You don't see it, do you?" Sam says "What?" Dean says "You've got no instinct. Scoffs "I mean, you are seriously messed up." Sam says "Thanks." Dean says "I'm not kidding, man. Nobody's forcing you to work with me, okay? But if we do this... I drive the bus, I call the shots, and you tell me everything, whether you think it's important or not, because -- trust me -- you can't tell the difference. Or, you know what, go -- go with Samuel. See how that goes. It's up to you."

Campbell Compound Nighttime, Sam says "Samuel?" Samuel says "Damn, kid. Learn how to knock. Where's your brother and Sarah?" Sam says "Gone." Samuel says "What do you mean, "gone"?" Sam says "I mean they both left eft about an hour ago. The two of them and I just weren't seeing eye-to-eye anymore, I guess." Samuel says "That's too bad." Sam says "I want in?" Samuel says "In?" Sam says "On the interrogations, on everything. I can help. This family -- this is it for me now. Whatever you need, I'll do." Samuel says "Yeah, I know you will." Sam says "Great." Samuel says "But until we can figure out this soul business of yours, I need you to keep doing what you're doing." Sam says "But I can --" Samuel says "No you can't. sighs "I'm sorry." Sam says "Right."

Impala Nighttime, Dean says "Hey." Sam says "You both didn't think I'd come back." Dean says "We'd figured 60/40." Sam says "So, Samuel didn't take the bait. So I went with plan "b."" Sarah asks "We had a plan "b"?" Sam says "Fired up the GPS on one of his cellphones. We should be able to track him right to the alpha." Dean asks "The old man won't notice?" Sam says "Trust me. He thinks Velcro is big news." Bleeping "There. Got him." Warehouse Nighttime, Sam says "Dead man's blood?" Dean says "Smart. Lock the place down with vamp repellent." sighs. Inside the warehouse, Crackling Samuel asks "Where is it? Answer the question. Where is it? How do we find it?" Alpha Vampire says in a sarcastic tone "Ouch. Stop. That hurts" Samuel says "This -- This is club med compared to what we have planned for you. I got -- I got all the time in the world." Alpha Vampire says "Well, that makes two of us, Are you three going to hide all night? Come on out, boys and girl. How can I help you?" Dean says "We got some questions for you, skippy, since you're going nowhere fast." The Alpha Vampire chuckles, "Don't be so sure." Dean says "Yeah? Locked down pretty tight and with all that dead blood rushing through your veins, not sure you got enough juice to fire up that psychic bat-signal of yours, do you?"

Alpha Vampire says "True. Not near enough juice for that... Dean." Dean says " I didn't realize we were on a first-name basis." Alpha Vampire says "Of course we are. After all, you were my child... for a time. Dean, tell me... did you enjoy it?" Dean says " I'm asking the questions here, fright night." Electricity crackles Alpha Vampire asks "When your kind first huddled around the fire, I was the thing in the dark! Now you think you can hurt me? I have all night, boys and girl. Anyway, I'm happy to tell you whatever you want to know." Sarah asks "Why?" Alpha Vampire says "Why? Because soon, I'll be ankle-deep in your blood, sucking the marrow from your bones." Sam says "So you're really it. The first of your species." Alpha Vampire says " The very first." Sam asks "But if you're the first... who made you?" Alpha Vampire says "We all have our mothers. Even me." Dean asks "What does that mean?" The Alpha Vampire chuckles, "And what's with the big surge of vamps lately? I mean, it's like --"

Alpha Vampire says "Like we're going to war." Sam asks "Why? What's going on? Why did Samuel bring you here?" Alpha Vampire says "You smell cold. You have no soul. What an oddity. Do you feel how empty you are? What is it like to have no soul? Answer my question." Sarah says "You first. You're the one in the cage." The Alpha Vampire looks at Sam "The thing about souls -- If you've got one, of course -- is they're predictable. You die, you go up or down. Where do my kind go?" Dean says "All right, enough with the sermon, freak." Alpha Vampire says "'m trying to answer the question. Now, when we "freaks" die... where do we go? Not heaven, not hell. So?" Dean answers "Legoland?" Alpha Vampire Sighs "Little rusty on our Dante, boys and girl?" Sam says "Purgatory." Dean says "Purgatory? Purgatory's real?" Alpha Vampire says "Vampire: Oh, stupid cattle chuckles "Of course! And it is filled with the soul of every hungry thing like me that ever walked this earth. Now, where is it? That is the mystery. And that is what your kindhearted granddaddy is trying to beat out of me."

Sam says "Samuel brought you here... to find out where Purgatory is?" Alpha vampire says "I keep telling him -- how would I know such a thing? But he refuses to untie me." Sam says "You know exactly where it is. Why does Samuel care about any of this?" Alpha Vampire says "He doesn't care. He does as he is told." Dean says "Well, if the old man's Kermit... whose hand's up his ass?" Gun cocks and Samuel says "Evening, guys and girl." Dean says "Wow, you know, I have seen some stupid in my time, but you take the crown. Putting Jaws in a fishbowl? How do you think that's gonna end? I don't know what kind of game you're running --" Samuel interrupts and says "What, do you think I'm doing this for kicks?" Dean says " I think you've got the rest of these feebs convinced that you're John Wayne. So whatever you're doing, whatever you're hiding... it's gonna put you and everyone around you in the ground." Another Gun cocks Gwen says "Hi."

Dean says "Gwen sighs "And I thought we had something special." Alpha Vampire says "Are you scared of me? I would be." Chuckles, "Go ahead." The Alpha Vampire escapes the cage Electricity crackles and Man screams, Samuel says "Grab your stuff." Sighs and Dean then asks "How long till the alpha's 100%?" Samuel says "Hour. Maybe less, We need to get him dosed up and back in the cage." Dean says "No." Samuel asks "What do you mean, "no"?" Dean says "I mean, I don't know what your big plan was, but playing catch is not on the table." Samuel says "Dean..." Dean interrupts and says "We take the thing's head off, or it kills us all! You know that, Okay. We split up. Clear every room. You get a shot, you take it. It's not gonna kill him, but dude will move a lot slower without any kneecaps and if we make it through this, you, me, and Sam are having one hell of a family meeting." Christian asks " You think he ran out?" Samuel says "No!"

Alpha Vampire says "The boy with no soul. I've got big plans for you. It's amazing how that pesky, little soul gets in the way. But not for you two, You both will be the perfect... animals." Sam says "Christian." Crowley says "Well, that was dramatic." Sarah says "Crowley." Crowley says "Hello, boys and girl What an unexpected treat." Samuel says "Bring Christian back now." Crowley says "I'm Sorry." Samuel says "My nephew! The one you just crammed a demon into!" Crowley says "Oh. No. I had him possessed ages ago. Samuel, really. I keep an eye on my investments." Dean says "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. You two know each other?" Crowley says " Not in the biblical sense. More of a business relationship, I'd say." Sam says "You're Crowley's bitch." Samuel says " It's not what you think." Crowley says "It's precisely what you think. That alpha he's caught me is getting him a gold star." Sarah asks "Since when do you give a crap about vampires?" Crowley says "Since, uh... What's today -- Friday? Since, let's see -- mind your business." Sam says "You may as well share with the class, Crowley. We know you're looking for Purgatory."

Crowley surprised says "So you heard about that?" Sam says "Yeah. You want to tell us why?" Crowley says "Isn't it obvious? Location, location, location. I'm a developer. Purgatory is vast, underutilized, and hell-adjacent, and I want it." Dean asks "What for?" Crowley says "Best shut your gob. Employees don't question management." Dean says "We ain't your employees." Crowley says "Of course you are! Have been for some time now, thanks to gramps. I don't keep Captain Chromedome around for his wit, do I? Samuel knows things. More than any of you, actually. Walking encyclopedia of the creepy and the crawly and I knew... You two are so hung up on family-loyalty nonsense, he said jump, you'd get froggy." Dean says "Yeah, well, the game's over." Crowley says "Yeah, well, afraid not, not if you want to see Sam's soul ever again." Sam says "You're bluffing." Crowley says "Tell them, Samuel."

Samuel says "He pulled us both back, me and Sam." Sam says "What? You knew?" Dean says "No, Cas says it takes big-time mojo to pull something like that off, and you're nothing but a punk-ass crossroads demon." Crowley says "Was a punk-ass crossroads demon Now? King of hell believe me, I've got the mojo. I snap my fingers, Sam gets his soul back or you can be...You, and I shove Sam right back in the hole can't imagine what it's like in there... and I can imagine so many things. So, we clear? Me, Charlie... you, angels and Job's simple enough -- bring me creatures. Aim high on the food chain, please. Everybody wins and It's been a pleasure,See you soon."Gwen says "You're letting a demon call the shots?" Samuel says "Nothing's changed. We hunt. Period. Don't worry about him. I'll take care of it. You trust me or not? Get the van, Gwen." Sam says "Working with a demon, huh?" Metal clanging, "You're not who I thought you were." Samuel says "You don't know anything about me, son." Dean asks "So, what's so important that you're the king of hell's cabana boy, huh? What'd he offer you? Girls? Money? Hair?" Samuel says "I got my reasons. You gonna make a move, go ahead." Dean says "Or What?" Samuel says " Or nothing. I'm not gonna do anything to you, Dean. You boys... you're my family. So the way I see it, you got two choices -- Put a bullet in your grandfather or step aside."

Sam says "He sold us out." Dean says "I know, Let it go." Sam asks "Why?" Dean says "Get out of here." Sarah asks "So, what now?" Dean says "We can't work for Crowley." Sam asks "Are you sure about that?" Dean says "Me and Sarah don't think you understand. Demons bone you every time." Sam says "Oh, no, I get it. I do, believe me just running the math -- Do we really have another choice?" Dean says "We could stab him in his throat." Sam says " And get my soul back how? I'm just saying, seems like we got to play ball, at least for the moment." Dean says " I have done some stupid things in my time, but punching a demon's clock?" Sam says "Look, just till we find another way." Sarah asks "And then?" Sam says "And then?" Sam says "And then we track Crowley down and give that son of a bitch what's coming to him. You with me, Sarah and Dean?"
