CARNIVAL DAY
_______________
Medford, Wisconsin

We pan over a ferris wheel, past a fire eater and close on two clowns entertaining a young girl. She is clearly enjoying herself. Her parents stand behind.

"God, I hate clowns. They always creep me out." The Dad says

"Shh. She likes them. Leaning over, Last ride." The Mom says, The girl looks over to the side and seens a clown. She waves, it waves back a little creepy. She tugs on her mom's sleeve.

"Look, Mom, another clown!" The Little girl says, When the mom looks over the clown has disappeared

"What are you trying to do, scare your father?" The Mom says

"Hey" The Dad Says

The Family is driving home from the carnival. The girl sees the clown again, on the side of the road, waving.

"Look, Mom a clown!" The Girl says, As The clown disappears again as the Mom looks over. "You missed him"

In The House, The girl is asleep in bed and hears something. She gets up and goes to the window, sees the clown standing outside. Smiling, she goes downstairs and waves at him, then opens the door to let him in. He takes her hand and enters. The Parents are then attacked.

THE WOODS

From the fiery title card we flash to a funeral of Johns . The only light comes from the wrapped, burning body. Standing behind, hands in their pockets, are Sam and Dean. Sam is near tears and fidgeting, Dean staring into the flames silently.

"Before he.. before, did he say anything to you? About anything?" Sam Asks

"No. Nothing" Dean Says not looking at Sam

JUNKYARD
One Week Later

Dean is underneath his car working on it, only his legs sticking out. It is little more than a rusted frame, but it looks considerably less crunched than last time. Sam approaches.

"How's the car coming along ?" Sam Asks

"Slow" Dean Says

"Yeah. Need Any Help ?" Sam Asks

He drops something heavily, "What, you under a hood? I'll pass." Dean says

"Need anything else, then?" Sam Says, Dean pushes himself out from under the car and stands

"Stop It Sam." Dean Says

"Stop What ?" Sam Says

"Stop asking if I need anything, stop asking if I'm okay. I'm okay. Really. I promise." Dean Says

"All right, Dean, it's just... We've been at Bobby's for over a week now and you haven't brought up Dad once." Sam Says

"You know what? You're right. Come here. I'm gonna lay my head gently on your shoulder. Maybe we can cry, hug, and maybe even slow dance." Dean says

"Don't patronize me, Dean, Dad is dead. The Colt is gone, and it seems pretty damn likely that the demon is behind all of this, and you're acting like nothing happened." Sam Says

"What do you want me to say?" Dean Says

"Say something, all right? Hell, say anything! Aren't you angry? Don't you want revenge? But all you do is sit out here all day long buried underneath this damn car." Sam Says

"Revenge, huh?" Dean Says

"Yeah" Sam Says

"Sounds good. You got any leads on where the demon is? Making heads or tails of any of Dad's research? Because I sure ain't. But you know, if we do finally find it - oh. No, wait, like you said. The Colt's gone. But I'm sure you've figured out another way to kill it. We've got nothing, Sam. Nothing, okay? So you know the only thing I can do? Is I can work on the car." He says, Then Dean crouches by the car again, getting back to work.

Then Elena Walks Towards the Junkyard, "Well, you've got something, all right? She pulls out a cell phone" Elena Says

"It's what I came by here to tell you" Sam Says

"This is one of your dad's old phones. Took me a while, but i cracked his voicemail code. Listen to this." Elena says as She hands the cell phone to Dean, who stands and takes it reluctantly.

ELLEN'S VOICEMAIL "John, it's Ellen. Again. Look, don't be stubborn, you know I can help you. Call me."

"That Message Is Four Months Old." Sam Says

"Dad saved that chick's message for four months?"

"Yeah" Sam Says

"Well, who's Ellen? Any mention of her in Dad's journal?" Dean Asks

"No, But Elena ran a trace on her phone number and we got an address." Sam Says

"Really" Dean Says

"Really" Elena says

"Thanks Lena" Dean says

"Well Coming from a girl who used to date a hacker it has its perks but anyways no problem" Elena says

"Sam Ask Bobby if we can use one of his cars" Dean Says

ROADHOUSE

In a beat-up, poorly maintained minivan, Dean, Sam and Elena pull up to the Roadhouse Saloon.

"This is humiliating. I feel like a friggin' soccer mom!" Dean Says

"Sorry but It's the only car Dad had running." Elena Says, They start looking around

"Hello? Anybody here?" Sam Says

"Hey. You bring the, uh," Dean Says

"Of Course" Sam Says, He tosses something to Dean, who catches it. They open the door and go inside. The saloon is quiet except for a fly buzzing. A light bulb blows out. They go to the back and see a man passed out on the bar

"Hey, buddy?, I'm Guessing that isn't Ellen." Sam says

"Yeah" Dean Says

"Ya Think" Elena Says

Sam & Elena goes into a back room, looking around. Dean goes down the steps, then pauses as he feels the point of a gun touch his back.  Oh god, please let that be a rifle. The gun cocks. Pan over to reveal an attractive blonde girl.

"No, I'm just real happy to see you. Don't move." She Says

"Not moving, copy that. You know, you should know something, miss. "When you put a rifle on someone, you don't want to put it right against their back.
Because it makes it real easy to do...He turns fluidly, grabbing the rifle and cocking it .That."

She punches him in the face and takes back the rifle. Dean doubles over, clutching his nose. "Sam! Elena!Need some help in here. He begins muttering, I can't see, I can't even see."

The back door opens to reveal Sam & Elena both hands on their heads. They enters slowly. "Sorry, Dean, I can't right now. I'm a... little tied up." Sam Says

"Okay Easy There Miss" Elena Says, He nods his head, indicating ELLEN, who is behind them with a handgun pointed at his & Elena's head.

"Sam? Dean? Winchester?" Ellen Asks

"Yeah" They Both Answer

"Son of a bitch." Ellen Says

"Mom, you know these guys?" The Blonde Asks

"Yeah, I think these are John Winchester's boys. She lowers the gun, laughing. Hey, I'm Ellen. This is my daughter Jo." She Says

Jo also lowers her rifle, and Dean smiles at her, "Hey." Jo Says

"You're not gonna hit me again, are you?" Dean Says, Ellen is hands Dean a small towel filled with ice, "Here you go." Ellen Says

"Thanks. You called our dad, said you could help. Help with what?" Dean Says

"Well, the demon, of course. I heard he was closing in on it" Ellen Says

"What, was there an article in the Demon Hunters Quarterly that I missed? I mean, who, who are you? How do you know about all this?" Dean Says

"Hey, I just run a saloon. But hunters have been known to pass through now and again. Including your dad a long time ago. John was like family once." Ellen Says

"Oh yeah? How come he never mentioned you before?" Dean Says

"You'd have to ask him that." Ellen Says

"So why exactly do we need your help?" Dean Says

"Hey, don't do me any favors. Look, if you don't want my help, fine. Don't let the door smack your ass on the way out. But John wouldn't have sent you if...
She stops, and begins realizing.He didn't send you.
Dean looks down, then back at Sam, He's all right, isn't he?" Ellen Asks

"No. No, he isn't. It was the demon, we think. It, um, it just got him before he got it, I guess." Sam Says

"I'm so sorry" Ellen Says

"It's okay. We're all right" Dean Says

"Really? I know how close you and your dad were."Ellen Says

"Really, lady, I'm fine." Dean Says

"Sorry About Him, So look, if you can help, we could use all the help we can get" Elena Says

"Well, we can't. But Ash will." Ellen Says

"Who's Ash ?" Sam Says

"Ash!" Ellen Says, The man passed out on the bar jerks awake and sits up, flailing. "What? It closin' time?" Ash Says

"That's Ash?" Sam Says

"Mm-hmm. He's a genius" Jo Says , A brown folder is slapped down on the bar; Sam and Ash are sitting, Dean and Elena are standing behind them. Jo is on the other side of the bar pouring glasses of water.

"You've gotta be kidding me, this guy's no genius. He's a Lynyrd Skynyrd roadie." Dean Says

"I like You" Ash Says

"Thank You" Dean Says

"Just give him a chance" Jo Says

"Yeah Come On Dean Let's See what he's got" Elena says as she pats Dean Shoulder, Dean sits and opens the folder.

"All right. This stuff's about a year's worth of our dad's work, so uh, let's see what you make of it."Dean Says, Ash pulls out the papers and starts rifling through them. He shakes his head.

"Come on. This crap ain't real. There ain't nobody can track a demon like this." Ash Says

"Our dad could." Sam Says

"There are non-parametrics, statistical overviews, prospects and correlations, I mean.. damn! They're signs. Omens. Uh, if you can track 'em, you can track this demon. You know, like crop failures, electrical storms... You ever been struck by lightening? It ain't fun." Ash Says

"Can You Track it or not ?" Elena Asks

"Yeah, with this, I think so. But it's gonna take time, uh, give me... fifty one hours." Ash Says, Het gets up and looks at Elena and gets close to her, "You know your a very beautiful lady you know that"

"Uhh Thank You" Elena Says

"No Problem" Ash Says

"Hey Man" Dean Says

"Yeah." Ash Says

"I, uh, I dig the haircut." Dean Says

"All business up front, party in the back." Ash Says as he leaves

"Wow What an interesting guy" Elena says

"Yeah" Sam And Dean Say, Jo walks by, flirting a little with Dean. He checks her out tiredly, then gets up to follow her. Sam sees something behind the bar.

"Hey Ellen, What is that" Sam Ask

"It's a police scanner. We keep tabs on things, we..." She Says

"No, no, no, no, the, um, the folder." Sam Says

"Uh, I was gonna give this to a friend of mine. But take a look, if you want." Ellen says, She takes a folder from the wall and places it in front of Sam & Elena . It has some newspaper clippings attached to the front, and on the front, in red marker:

COUPLE MURDERED
CHILD LEFT ALIVE
MEDFORD, WISC.

At the window, DEAN sits down by Jo. "How did your mom get into this stuff, anyway?" Dean Asks

"From my dad. He was a hunter. He passed away" Jo Says

"I'm sorry" Dean Says

"It was a long time ago. I was just a kid. Sorry to hear about your dad." Jo Says

"Yeah. So. I guess I've got fifty one hours to waste. Maybe tonight we should, uh...He looks up at her.
No, you know what? Never mind." Dean Says

"What?" Jo Says

"Nothing, Just uh, wrong place, wrong time" Dean Says

"You know, I thought you were gonna toss me some cheap pickup line. Dean chuckles, Most hunters come through that door think they can get in my pants with some... pizza, a six pack, and side one of Zeppelin IV." Jo Says

"Well... what a bunch of scumbags." Dean Says

"Not You" Jo Says

"I guess not" Dean Says

"Dean, Come Here, Check this out." Sam Says

"Yeah" Dean Says

"A few murders, not to far from here, that Ellen caught wind of. Looks to me like there might be a hunt." Elena Says

"Yeah. So ?" Dean Says

"So I Told Her we'd check it out" Sam Says
