HIGHWAY

Back in the minivan, Dean's Driving It's raining , Sam has the research open in his lap and Elena is playing with a lighter she found in the backseat

"You've gotta be kidding me. A killer clown?" Dean Says

"Yeah. He left the daughter unharmed and killed the parents. Ripped them to pieces, actually." Sam Says

"Poor Family Man" Elena Says

"And this family was at some carnival that night?" Dean Asks

"The, uh, Cooper Carnivals." Elena Says

"So how do you know we're not dealing with some psycho carnie in a clown suit?" Dean Says

"Well, the cops have no viable leads, and all the employees were tearing down shop. Alibis all around. Plus this girl said she saw a clown vanish into thin air. Cops are saying trauma, of course." Sam Says

"Well, I know what you're thinking, Sam. Why did it have to be clowns?" Dean says

"Oh, give me a break." Sam Says

Dean Laughs, "You didn't think I'd remember, did you? I mean, come on, you still bust out crying whenever you see Ronald McDonald on the television." Dean Says

"Well, at least I'm not afraid of airplanes." Sam Says

"Aww it's Dean Winchester Scared of Flying" Elena says mocking Dean

"Hey At Least I'm not scared of What is it Spiders" Dean Says

"Hey I was 10 Years old okay and I was curious okay,it's a real things okay people have phobias about it" Elena says

"Yeah Yeah, We'll Planes Crash" Deans Says

"And apparently clowns kill!" Sam says

"So Can Spiders" Elena Mumbles

"We Know Elena" Dean Says

"So these types of murders, they ever happen before?" Dean Asks

"Uh, according to the file, 1981, the Bunker Brothers Circus, same M.O. It happened three times, three different locales." Sam Says

"It's weird, though, I'm mean if it is a spirit it's usually bound to a specific locale, you know, a house, or a town." Elena says

"So how's this one moving from city to city, carnival to carnival?" Sam Asks

"Cursed object, maybe. Spirit attaches itself to something and the, uh, carnival carries it around with them."

"Great. Paranormal scavenger hunt" Sam Says

"Well, this case was your idea. By the way, why is that? You were awfully quick to jump on this job." Dean Says

"So ?" Sam Says

"It's just... not like you, that's all. I thought you were hell-bent for leather on the demon hunt." Dean Says

"I don't know, I just think, this job, it's what Dad would have wanted us to do." Sam Says

"What Dad would have wanted?" Dean Says

"Yeah. So ?" Sam Says

"Nothin, but anyways Lena since you've been back home for about a week now what's the status on your life huh what's going on" Dean asks

"Why So Interested Winchester " Elena Says

"I mean come on you quit hunting right after you graduate high school , you go off to college I mean we haven't seen you in a while come on what's going on" Dean says

"Well as you guys know I went to the University of Kansas, I mean college was fun you know I studied and partied and studied then partied some more, but I didn't want to do anymore at the time I wanted to experience life as a young adult without the killing and the burning bones or having a trunk full of weapons you know so I just called it an early retirement " Elena Says

"Yeah I understand Lena" Sam Says

"But In college I meet some cool people, dated a few as well I'm currently dating someone right now" Elena says

"Oh Really Well Who's the guy" Dean Asks

"His Name is Nathan Hayes, He's really cool and smart and very cute, very kind he has a masters degree in physics and now he's working as a Mechanical Engineer" Elena Says

"Wow He's sounds great" Sam Says

"Yeah Guy Sounds like a real keeper, has Bobby met him" Dean Asks

"Yes He Has" Elena Says

"And what did he think of him" Sam Asks

"Dad thought he was nice" Elena Says

"Hmm Okay Hopefully Well Meet Nathan" Dean Says

"Yeah Maybe" Elena Says

COOPERS CARNIVAL

The squeaky minivan pulls up outside the carnival. They see what appear to be detectives talking to some carnies. 

"Check it out, Five Oh" Dean Says as they all look, Sam stands with his hands in his pockets as a three-foot-tall woman in a clown outfit passes him. He stares at her, nervous, and she stares back before moving on. Dean and Elena approaches.

"Did you get her number?" Dean Says

"More Murders ?" Sam Says

"Two more last night. Apparently they were ripped to shreds. And they had a little boy with them." Dean Says

"Who fingered a clown." Sam Says, Dean and Elena pauses, giving Sam a weird look.

"What" Sam Says

"Yeah, a clown, who apparently vanished into thin air." Dean Says

"Dean, you know, looking for a cursed object is like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles. They could be anything." Sam Says

"Well, it's bound to give off EMF, so we'll just have to scan everything." Dean Says

"Oh, good, that's nice and... inconspicuous." Sam Says, as the boys continues talking Elena spots a Help wanted... S. Cooper" sign

"Well Boys I guess we'll just have to blend in" Elena says as she nudges Sam and Dean to Notices the sign

THE TENT

A man is throwing knives at a target; they all land near but not quite on bulls-eye. "Excuse me, we're looking for a Mr. Cooper, have you seen him around?" Dean Asks

"What is that, some kind of joke?" The Man Says as He pulls of his sunglasses and reveals he's blind

"Oh. God, I'm, I'm sorry." Dean Says

"You think I wouldn't give my eyeteeth to see Mr. Cooper? Or a sunset, or anything at all?" The Blind Man Says

Dean mouths quietly, to Sam and Elena "Wanna give me a little help here?" He Says

"Not really." Sam Says as Elena giggles

"Hey man, is there a problem?" The Short Man Asks, Dean turns around then looks down to see an extremely short man in a red cape. "Yeah, this guy hates blind people." The Blind Man Says

"No, I don't I" Dean Says

"Hey buddy, what's your problem?" The Short Man Asks

"Nothing, it's just a little misunderstanding" Dean Says

"Little?! You son of a bitch!" The Short Man Says

"No, no, no, no! I'm just, could somebody tell me where Mr. Cooper is?" Dean says as Elena and Sam laughs. Please?"

___________________________________
MR COOPER'S OFFICE

"You Guys picked a hell of a time to join up. Take a seat." Mr Cooper Says, Elena Walks in front of the boys and sits, Dean looks at the available chairs one is normal, the other is pink, with a giant clownface on it. He beats Sam to the normal chair. Sam scowls, fidgeting before sitting gingerly in the clown chair.

"We've got all kinds of local trouble." Mr Cooper Says

"What do you mean?" Dean Asks

"Oh, a couple of folks got themselves murdered. Cops always seem to start here first. So, you two ever worked the circuit before?" Mr Cooper Says

"Yes sir, last year through Texas and Arkansas" Elena Says

"Yeah" Dean Says

"Doing what? Ride jockies? Butcher? ANS men?" Mr. Cooper

"Yeah, it's, uh, little bit of everything, I guess." Sam Says

"You three have never worked a show in your lives before, have you?" Mr Cooper Asks

"Nope. But we really need the work. Oh, and uh, Sam here's got a thing for the bearded lady." Dean Says

"You see that picture? That's my daddy." Mr Cooper Says

"You look Just like him" Elena says

"He was in the business. Ran a freakshow. Till they outlawed them, most places. Apparently displaying the deformed isn't dignified. So most of the performers went from honest work to rotting in hospitals and asylums. That's progress. I guess. You see, this place, it's a refuge for outcasts. Always has been. For folks that don't fit in nowhere else. But you three? You should go to school. Find good people . Have two point five kids. Live regular." Mr, Cooper Says

Dean is about to say something, but Sam leans forward, eyes serious. "Sir? We don't want to go to school. And we don't want regular. We want this." Sam Says as Dean and Elena Looks at him then at each other

CARNIVAL

"Huh" Dean Says

"What ?" Sam Says

"That whole, uh, I don't want to go back to school thing. Were you just saying that to Cooper or were you, you know, saying it? Sam?" Dean Asks

"I don't know" Sam Says

"You don't know? I thought that once the demon was dead and the fat lady sings that you were gonna take off, head back to Wussy State." Dean Says

"I'm having second thoughts." Sam Says

"Really ?" Dean Says

"Yeah. I think. Dad would have wanted me to stick with the job." Sam Says

"Since when do you give a damn what Dad wanted? You spent half your life doing exactly what he didn't want, Sam." Dean Says

"Since he died, okay? Do you have a problem with that?" Sam Says

"Naw, I don't have a problem at all" Dean Says

LATER

Sam is wearing a red "COOPER CARNIVAL" jacket and picking up trash, while surreptitiously scanning with the EMF reader. He goes into the funhouse, still scanning. A skeleton falls from the ceiling; Sam scans it, not getting a reading, but looks like he has an idea.

Wearing similar uniform jackets, Dean is putting trash into a dumpster while Elena picks up more trash, when his cell phone rings. He picks up.

"Hello?" Dean Says

"Hey Man" Sam Says

"What's the matter? You sound like you just saw a clown." Dean Says as Elena Rolls her Eyes

"Very funny. Skeleton, actually." Sam Says

"Like A Real Human Skeleton" Dean Asks

"In the funhouse. Listen, I was thinking. What if the spirit isn't attached to a cursed object -- what if it's attached to its own remains?" Sam Says

"Did The Bones give off EMF ?" Elena Asks

"Well, no, but -" Sam Says

"We should check it out anyway. Me and Elena are  heading to you." Dean Says, As he hangs up the phone, the Blind Man grabs his arm.

"What are you doing here, kid?" The Blind Man Asks

"I'm... I was just sweeping." Dean Says

"Yeah That's all we were doing" Elena Says

"Bull. And what were you talking about? Skeletons? What's EMF?" The Blind Man Says

"Dude, your blind man hearing is out of control." Dean Says

"We're a tight-knit group. We don't like outsiders. We take care of our own problems." The Blind Man Says

"We Got a problem Sir" Elena Says

"You tell me -- you're the one talking about human bones" The Blind Man Says

"Do you believe in ghosts?" Dean Asks

"What ?" The Blind Man Says

"My brother and me... umm. We're writing a book about them." Dean Says

"Sure Whatever Weird Kids" The Blind Man Says as he leaves

"You Writing a book" Elena says

"What I can write one if I wanted to" Dean Says

"Sure You can Dean"Elena says as she walks off
