Dad wants us to pick
up where he left off --
Saving people, hunting things.
The family business.
Anybody here?
Don�t move.
Sam? Dean?
Mom, you know these guys?
I think these are
John Winchester�s boys.
Hey, I�m Ellen.
That's my daughter, Jo.
You're not gonna hit me again, are you?
You called our dad, said you could help.
Help with what?
The demon, of course.
How do you know about all this?
Hey, I just run a saloon.
Hunters have been known to
pass through now and again --
Including your dada long time
ago.
John was like family once.
You think dad and
Ellen never had a thing?
No way.
Then why didn't he tell us about her?
How did your mom get into this stuff?
My dad.
He was a hunter.
He passed away.
I could help
I'm sure you could, but I
think your mother might kill me.
You're afraid of my mother?
I think so.
I checked the fuses.
They're fine.
It's the wiring!
Look, you promised this place
would be ready when I moved in.
No! You come up now!
Please.
Thank you.
Gross.
What the hell?
Los Angeles, California.
What's in L.
A.
?
A young girl's been
kidnapped by an evil cult.
Yeah?
The girl got a name? Katie Holmes.
That's funny.
Of course, on the other hand, catfight.
I am your mother! I don't
have to be reasonable!
You can't keep me here!
Don't you bet on that, sweetie!
Are you gonna chain
me up in the basement?
You've had worse ideas
than that recently.
You don't want to stay?
Don't -Go back to school!
I didn't belong there! I was a
freak with a knife collection!
Getting yourself killed on some dusty
back road -That's where you belong?
Guys, bad time.
Yes, ma'am.
We rarely drink before 10:00 anyway.
Wait.
I want to know what
they think about this.
I don't care what they think!
Are you guys open?
Yes! No!
We'll just check out
the Arby's down the road.
Harvelle's.
Yeah, preacher.
Three weeks ago, a young girl
disappears from a Philadelphia apartment.
Take it.
It won't bite.
No, but your mom might.
And this girl wasn't the first.
Over the
past 80 years,6 women have vanished --
All from the same
building, all young blondes.
It only happens every decade or two,
so cops never eyeball the pattern.
So we're either dealing with
one very old serial killer --
Who put this together? Ash?
I did it myself.
I got to admit, we hit
the road for a lot less.
Good.
If you like the
case so much, you take it.
Joanna Beth, this
family has lost enough.
I won't lose you, too.
I just won�t.
Mother told me
Yes, she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me,
"Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
Mommy's all right,
Daddy�s all right,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender.
I feel kind of bad, snaking job�s case.
Well, maybe she put
together a good file,
But could you see her out here
working one of these things?
I don't think so.
You getting anything?
No, not yet.
What's that?
What?
Holy crap.
That's ectoplasm.
Well, Sam, I think I know
what we're dealing with here.
It's the stay-Puft marshmallow man.
Dean, I�ve only seen
this stuff like twice.
I mean, to make this stuff, you have
to be one majorly pissed-Off spirit.
Let's find this badass before
he snags any more girls.
Yeah, it's a great building.
I fixed it up real nice.
All the apartments come furnished, too.
Yeah, I love the
furnishings.
It's so spacious,
And the location is
so convenient for me.
What the hell are you doing here?
There you are, honey.
This is my boyfriend,
Dean, and his buddy Sam.
Good to meet you.
Quite
a gal you got here.
Yeah, she's a pistol!
So, did you already
check out the apartment?
The one for rent.
Yeah.
Yes.
Loved it.
Great flow.
How'd you get in? It was open.
Now, Ed, when did the
last tenant move out?
Uh, about a month ago.
Cut and run, too.
Stiffed me for the rent.
Well, her loss, our gain,
'Cause if Dean loves it,
it's good enough for me.
Oh, sweetie.
We'll take it.
Okay.
I'll flip you for the sofa.
Does your mother even know you�re here?
I told her I was going to Vegas.
You think she�s gonna buy that?
I'm not an idiot.
I got Ash to lay a credit-Card
trail all the way to the casinos.
You shouldn't lie to your mom.
You shouldn't be here, either.
Well, I am, so untwist your
boxers and deal with it.
Where'd you get all
that money from, anyways?
Working at the roadhouse.
Hunters don't tip that well.
They aren't that good at poker, either.
Yeah? Is she with you?
Oh, hi, Ellen.
She left a note she�s in Vegas.
I don't believe it for a second.
Dean? I haven't seen her.
You sure about that? Yeah, I�m sure.
Well, please, if she shows up, you'll
drag her butt back here, won't you?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Thanks, hon.
This place was built in 1924.
It was originally a warehouse, converted
into apartments a few months ago.
Yeah? What was here before 1924?
Nothing.
An empty field.
So the most
likely scenario --
Someone died bloody in the building,
and now he's back and raising hell.
I already checked.
In the past 82 years,
zero violent deaths,
Unless you count a janitor
who slipped on a wet floor.
Would you sit down, please?
So, have you checked the police
reports, county death records?
Obituaries, mortuary reports,
and seven other sources.
I know what I'm doing.
I think the jury's
still out on that one.
Would you put the knife down?
Okay.
So, uh, it�s something else, then.
Maybe some kind of cursed object
that brought a spirit with it.
We got to scan the whole
building.
Right.
So, you and me --
We�ll take the top two floors.
We'd move faster if we split up.
Oh, this isn't negotiable.
So, are you gonna buy me dinner?
What are you talking about?
It's just if you're gonna ride me this
close, it's only decent you buy me dinner.
Oh, that's hilarious.
Its bad enough I lied to your mom,
But if you think I'm letting
you out of my sight --
I don't know if you noticed, but
you're kind of the spirit's type.
Exactly.
You want to be bait?
The quickest way to draw
it out, and you know it.
What? I'm so regretting this.
I've had it up to herewith your crap.
Excuse me?
Your chauvinist crap.
You think women can�t do the job.
Sweetheart, this ain't gender
studies.
Women can do the job fine.
Amateurs can�t.
You got no experience.
What you do have is a bunch of half-Baked romantic
notions that some barfly has put in your head.
And now you sound like my mother.
Oh, and that's a bad thing?
Because let me tell you --
What?
Forget it.
No, you started this.
Jo, you got options.
No one in
their right mind chooses this life.
My dad started me in this when I was so
young.
I wish I could do something else.
You love the job.
Yeah, but I�m a little twisted.
You don't think I�m
a little twisted, too?
Jo, you got a mother
that worries about you,
Who wants something more for
you.
Those are good things.
You don't throw things like that away.
They might be hard to find later.
What?
I'm not sure.
Do you smell that?
What is it, a gas leak?
No.
It�s something else.
I know it.
I just can't
put my finger on it.
Mazel Tov.
You just
found your first spirit.
It's inside the vent.
Here.
There's something in there.
Here.
Someone's keeping souvenirs.
This building --
I swear to god.
I'm so out of here.
Morning, princess.
Where's Sam? Went to get coffee.
My back.
How'd you sleep on that big, soft bed?
I didn�t.
I've just been going over everything.
Here.
What's this for?
It'll work a hell of a lot better than that
little pig stick you've been twirling around.
William Anthony Harvelle.
I'm sorry.
My mistake.
What do
you --
What do you remember about your dad?
What's the first thing
that pops into your head?
Come on.
Tell me.
I was 6 or 7
And, uh
He took me shooting for the first time.
Bottles on a fence
--That kind of thing.
I bull's-Eyed every one of them.
And he would smile, like
I don�t know.
He must have been proud.
What about your dad?
I was still in pigtails
when my dad died, but
I remember him coming home from a hunt.
He'd burst through
that door like --
Like Steve McQueen or something.
And he'd sweep me up in his arms,
And I'd breathe in that
old leather jacket of his.
And my mom --Who
was sour and pissed
From the minute he left
She started smiling again.
And we were
We were a family.
You want to know why
I want to do the job?
For him.
It's my way of being close to him.
Now, tell me, what's wrong with that?
Nothing.
Where's the coffee?
There are cops outside.
Another girl disappeared.
Theresa Ellis
--Apartment 2-F.
Her boyfriend reported
her missing around dawn.
And her apartment?
Cracks all over the
plaster --Walls, ceiling.
There's ectoplasm, too.
Between that and that tuft of hair, I'd
say the sucker�s coming from the walls.
But who is it? The building's
history's totally clean.
Maybe we're looking in the wrong place.
What do you mean? Check this out.
An empty field?
It's where this building was built.
Take a look at the one next door.
The windows.
Bars.
We're next door to a prison?
Thanks, Ash.
Oh, and if you breathe a
word of this to my mom --
That�s right.
I will.
With pliers.
Okay.
Moyamensing
prison --
Built in 1835, torn down
in 1963.
And get this --
They used to execute people by hanging
them in the empty field next door.
Well, then, we need a list of
all the people executed there.
Ash is already on it.
We got to narrow that down.
Yeah.
Or else we're gonna be digging
up a hell of a lot of stiffs.
Herman Webster Mudgett?
Yeah?
Wasn't that H.
H.
Holmes' real name?
You got to be kidding me.
Holmes was executed at
Moyamensing may 7,1896.
H.
H.
Holmes himself.
Come on.
I mean, what are the odds?
Who is this guy?
The term "multi-Murderer" --
They coined it to describe Holmes.
He was America�s first serial killer before
anybody knew what a serial killer was.
He confessed to 27 murders, but
some put the death toll at over 100.
And his victim flavor of
choice -Pretty, petite blondes.
He, uh, used chloroform to kill them,
Which is what I smelled
in the hallway last night.
At his place, cops found human remains,
Bone fragments, and long
locks of bloody blond hair.
Boy, he sure knew how to pick them.
We just find the bones, salt
them, and burn them, right?
It's not that easy.
His body is buried in town,
But it's encased in a
couple tons of concrete.
What? Why?
The story goes that he didn't
want anybody mutilating his corpse
'Cause, you know, it's
what he used to do.
You know something?
We might have an even
bigger problem than that.
How does this get bigger?
Holmes built an apartment
building in Chicago.
They called it the *** castle.
The whole place was a death factory.
They had trapdoors, acid
vats, quicklime pits.
He built these secret chambers
Inside the walls.
He'd lock his victims in,
keep them alive for days.
Some, he'd suffocate.
Others, he'd let starve to death.
So Theresa could still be alive.
She could be inside these walls.
We need sledgehammers, crowbars.
We got to smash these walls
Anywhere thick enough to hide a girl.
Okay.
Call us after you
check the southeast wall.
Sam's almost done with the first floor.
He hasn't found jack squat, either.
What is it?
It's too narrow.
We
can't go any further.
Let me see.
-
What are you --
I should have cleaned the pipes.
What?
I wish the pipes were clean.
Shut up!
I can fit in there.
You're not going in thereby yourself.
You got a better idea?
The
--
Where are you? By the north wall.
I'm heading down some kind of air duct.
No, no, no, no.
Stay up here.
We got to find this girl, don't we?
I'm okay.
All right.
I�m heading to you.
Oh, god.
What is it?
Jo? Jo?!
Jo!
Jo?!
Jo!
He's got Jo.
What? How�d that happen?
I wasn't with her.
I
left her alone.
Damn it!
Look, we'll find her.
Where? Inside
the walls.
We were inside the walls.
None of the other girls are
there.
She won't be, either.
Look, take a beat and think about
this.
Maybe we got Holmes' M.
O.
Wrong.
Well, we better friggin' think fast.
Yeah?
You lied to me.
She�s there.
Ellen.
Ash told me everything.
The man's a genius, but
he folds like a cheap suit.
You put my damn daughter on the phone.
She's gonna have to call you back.
She's,
uh, taking care of feminine business.
Yeah, right.
Where is she?
Where is she?!
Look, we'll get her back.
Get her back? Back from what?
The spirit we're
hunting --It took her.
Oh, my god.
She'll be okay.
I promise.
You promise?
That is not the first time I�ve
heard that from a Winchester.
What?
If anything
happens to her --
It won�t.
I won't let it.
Ellen, I�m sorry.
I really am.
I'm taking the first flight out.
I'll be there in a few hours.
Damn it!
Don't beat yourself up, Dean.
There's nothing you could have done.
Tell me you got something.
Uh, maybe.
Look.
If you look at the layout
of the Holmes *** castle,
There�s other torture chambers
inside the walls, right?
But there's one we
haven�t considered yet --
The one in his basement.
This building doesn't have a basement.
You're right.
It doesn�t.
But I just noticed this.
Beneath the foundation,
It looks like part of an old sewer
system.
It hasn't been used for --
Let�s go.
Hello?
Is -Is anybody there?
Your name's Theresa?
Yes.
This won't make you feel better, but
I'm here to rescue you.
Oh, god.
He's out there.
He's gonna kill us!
No, he won't!
We're getting out.
My friends are looking for us.
Oh, god, it's him!
Shh! Just be quiet!
Here.
Got it? Yeah.
You're so pretty.
So beautiful.
Go to hell!
How do you like that?!
Pure iron, you
creepy-*** son of a ***!
Is he gone?
I don't
know.
I --
Hey!
No!
Jo!
I'm here!
Hey.
I'm gonna get you
out of here, all right?
Sam!
Hang on.
You all right? I've been better.
Let's get the hell out of
here before he comes back.
Actually, I don't think
you're leaving here just yet.
What?
Remember when I said you
being bait was a bad plan?
Now it's kind of the only one we got.
Now!
Scream all you want! There's no
way you're stepping over that salt!
So
Is this job as glamorous
as you thought it would be?
Well, except for all the
peeYour-Pants terror, yeah.
But that Theresa girl's gonna
live a life 'cause of us.
It's worth it, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
Hey, what if somebody
finds that sewer done there
Or a storm washes the salt away?
Both very fine points, which
is why we're waiting here.
For what?
For that.
You ripped off a cement truck?
I'll give it back.
Well, that ought to keep him
down there till hell freezes over.
Well, you -You really weren't
kidding about flying out, were you?
How about we listen to some music?
You're as cold as ice.
This is gonna be a long drive.
Ellen
It was my fault.
Okay? I
lied to you, and I'm sorry.
But Jo did good out there.
I
think her dad would be proud.
Don't you dare
say that --Not you.
I need a moment with
my daughter -Alone.
You're angry.
I understand.
Angry doesn't beg into touch it!
Let's just think about
this.
Everything's okay.
I'm alive.
Not after I�m through with you!
Is this about me hunting
or something else?
You let those boys use you as bait.
They were backing me up the whole time.
That is why you do not have
the sense to do this job.
You're trusting your life to
them.
What are you talking about?
Like father, like son.
That is what I�m talking
John?
I thought you and John were friends.
Yeah, we were.
I'm
sorry.
I didn't mean --
Mom
What aren't you telling me?
That bad, huh? Not right now.
What happened? Hey, talk to me.
Get off me!
Sorry.
I�ll see you around.
Dean
It turns out my dad had a
partner on his last hunt.
Funny, he usually worked
alone.
This guy did, too.
But I guess my father
figured he could trust him.
A mistake.
The guy screwed
up, got my dad killed.
What does this have --
It was your father, Dean.
What?
Why do you think John never came
back, never told you about us?
'Cause he couldn't look my mom
in the eye after that -That's why.
Jo --
Just --
Just get out of here.
Please, just leave.
