BOBBY Ellen, you mentioned a safe.
ELLEN A hidden safe we keep in the basement.
BOBBY Demons get what was in it?
ELLEN No (She pulls out a map from her pocket, unfolding it and setting it down on the table. It has several black lines and X's on it.)
DEAN Wyoming. What does that mean? (Pointing to the lines)
CUT TO:
BOBBY is reading from a large book
BOBBY I don't believe it. (He sets the book on a table)
SAM What? You got something?
BOBBY A lot more than that. Each of these X's (He points to the marks on the map) Is an abandoned frontier church-- all mid 19th century. And all of them built by Samuel Colt.
DEAN Samuel Colt--the demon-killing, gunmaking Samuel Colt?
BOBBY Yep. And there's more. He built private railway lines (He points to the black lines on the map) connecting church to church. It just happens to lay out like this. (He connects the points on the map until the shape of a star is made.)
DEAN Tell me that's not what I think it is.
SAM It's a Devil's Trap. A 100-square mile Devil's Trap.
DEAN That's brilliant. Iron lines demons can't cross.
ELLEN I've never heard of anything that massive.
BOBBY No one has.
DEAN And after all these years none of the lines are broken? I mean, it still works?
SAM Definitely
DEAN How do you know?
SAM All those omens Bobby found. I mean the demons, they must be circling and they can't get in.
BOBBY Yeah, well...they're trying.
ELLEN Why? What's inside?
DEAN That's what I've been looking for. And, uh, there's nothing except an old cowboy cemetery right in the middle.
SAM Well what's so important about a cemetery or...what's Colt trying to protect?
DEAN Well, unless...
BOBBY Unless what?
DEAN What if Colt wasn't trying to keep the demons out? What if he was trying to keep something in?
ELLEN Well that's a comforting thought.
DEAN Yeah, you think?
SAM Could they do it, Bobby? Could they get inside?
BOBBY This thing's so powerful, you'd practically need an A-bomb to destroy it. No way a full-blood demon gets across.
SAM No. (Pause) But I know who could."
my doubts here is
1] Did Samuel Colt actually Built the gates/doors?? or just protected it from being opened by vested interests??
2] If Samuel Really built the portal and gates..How did he do that?? i mean Did he too undergo these trials which sam is going through??
3] can't they time travel or something and discuss this with Colt himself??
4] Jake killing Sam was just an competition and winning thing?? an order from azazeal or was it a condition/rule to pay a price for closing the gate??
5] then again Ellen and bobby closed the door right?? ellen almost got killed in that fire...but she escaped it..so was sam who came back from dead...dean was doomed to die..all these can be an omen..or the price to close the hell gates?? if Yes then what bobby had to pay as a price..
6] when already the good side has closed the gate once why is it difficult now??
