Written by Sera Gamble

Outline When Sam and Dean encounter Gordon, a fellow demon hunter who has been systematically killing vampires in a small town, Dean immediately bonds with the older man.

Monster Vampire
Location(s) Red Lodge, Montana

Back in a newly restored Impala, Sam and Dean are investigating some murders and cattle mutilations, when they discover that the latest victim is a vampire. They meet another hunter, Gordon Walker, who has been hunting vampires ever since they killed his sister.

After rescuing Gordon from a vampire attack, Dean and Gordon bond over a few drinks. Sam is suspicious of Gordon and returns to the motel, only to be captured by the vampires who are lead by a woman called Lenore.

Released unharmed, Sam tries to convince Dean that the vampires have forsworn killing humans and are trying to live peacefully, drinking only cattle blood. Dean insists that anything supernatural should be killed, while Sam argues their mission is to stop evil. The argument ends when Dean punches Sam after he accuses Dean of using Gordon as replacement for their father.

They boys track down the vampire homestead where Gordon is torturing Lenore. Gordon grabs Sam and cuts him, taunting Lenore with his blood. When Lenore shows that she is capable of fighting her vampiric urges, Dean turns on Gordon, allowing Sam to rescue Lenore.

At the end, Dean muses that their world does not seem as black and white as it once did.

Quotes

Dean: Woah!! Listen to her purr! Have you ever heard anything so sweet?
Sam: You know, if you two want to get a room, just let me know, Dean.
Dean: Don't listen to him, baby. He doesn't understand us

Sam: You know, you slap on this big fake smile but I can see right through it. Because I know how you feel Dean. Dad's dead. And he left a hole, and it hurts so bad you can't take it, but you can't just fill up that hole with whoever you want to. It's an insult to his memory.

Dean: No, but every instinct told me to. I was going to kill her. I was going to kill them all.
Sam: Yeah Dean, but you didn't. And that's what matters.
Dean: Yeah. Well, 'cause you're a pain in my ass.
Sam: Guess I might have to stick around to be a pain in the ass then.
Dean: Thanks.
Sam: Don't mention it.

Eli: Why are we explaining ourselves to (Sam)?
Lenore: Eli...
Eli: We choke on cattle blood so they don't have to suffer. And tonight, they murdered Conrad. And they celebrated after.
Lenore: Eli, that's enough.
Sam: Yeah, Eli, that's enough!

Sam: (sighs) Look, I don't want to bring you guys down, I'm just gonna head back to the motel.
Dean: (groans slightly) You sure?
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: Hey, Sammy! Remind me to beat that buzz-kill out of you later, alright?

Dean: Did you check out that Barker farm?
Gordon: It’s a bust. Just a bunch of hippy freaks. Though they could kill you with that patchouli smell alone.

Lenore: (to Sam) Our kind (vampires) is practically extinct. Turns out we weren’t quite as high up the food chain as we imagined.

Dean: What part of "vampires" don’t you understand, Sam? If it’s supernatural, we kill it. End of story. That’s our job.
Sam: No, Dean, that’s not our job. Our job is hunting evil. And if these things aren’t killing people, then they’re not evil!

Sam: Ready to go, Dean?
Dean: Not yet. (to Gordon) I guess this is goodbye. Well, it’s been real. (punches Gordon right off the chair) Okay, I’m good now. We can go.

Sam: After what happened to Mom, Dad did the best he could.
Dean: I know he did, but the man wasn’t perfect. And the way he raised us, to hate those things and, man, I hate ‘em. I do. When I killed that vampire at the mill I didn’t even think about it. Hell, I even enjoyed it.
Sam: You didn’t kill Lenore.
Dean: No, but every instinct told me to. I was going to kill her. I was going to kill them all.
Sam: But you didn't. And that’s what matters.

Lenore: It’s a matter of survival. No deaths, no missing locals. No reason for people like you to come looking for us. Kind of a "hide in plain sight" strategy. Blend in. There aren’t many of our kind left. Turns out... we weren't quite as high up on the food chain as we’d imagined.

Dean: Clock me one.
Sam: What?
Dean: Come on, hit me. I won't even hit you back. Let's go.
Sam: No.
Dean: Let's go, you get a freebie. Come on, hit me!
Sam: You look like you just went twelve rounds with a block of cement, Dean. I'll take a raincheck.

Dean: All right, Open it.
Sam: You open it.
Dean: Wuss. (edit)
Dean: (to Gordon) I might be like you, and I might not. But you’re the one tied up right now.

Sheriff: What newspaper did you say you worked for?
Dean: World Weekly News.
Sam: Weekly World News.
Dean: World...
Sam: Weekly World News.
Dean: Wor... I'm new.
Sheriff: Get out of my office.

Sam: (talking to Dean) Give you a couple of severed heads and a pile of dead cows and you're Mr. Sunshine. (edit)
Dean: He was just one of those guys... took some terrible beatings... just kept coming. So you're saying to yourself, he's indestructible, he'll always be around... nothing can kill my Dad. And then just like that...he's gone. Can't talk about this to Sammy--gotta keep my game face on. The truth is I'm not handling it too well.

Ellen: And Hannibal Lecter is a good psychiatrist.

Gordon: You're more like me than you know.
Dean: I don't think so.... you sadistic bastard!

Dean: A wooden bridge. That's all you got?
Sam: The bridge was four and a half minutes from their farm
Dean: How do you know....?
Sam: I counted... they turned left out of the farm, then right onto a dirt road, traveled that for two minutes, slightly uphill. Then another quick right and we hit the bridge.
Dean: You're good.. you're a monster pain in the ass... but you're good.

Sam: So... we're looking for some people.
Bartender: Sure, its hard to be lonely.

Sam: Dean, get me a bucket.
Dean: Find something?
Sam: No, I think i'm going to puke.

Dean: You all right, Sammy?
Sam: Yeah, I'm fine.
Gordon: Well, lighten up a little, Sammy.
Sam: He's the only one who gets to call me that.
