INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT
Dawn walks over after hanging up the phone.
DAWN
Willow’s not home yet
CONNOR
Faith I don’t understand what’s happening – you don’t know if all of this is minutes or decades away and you can’t stop something that hasn’t started
FAITH
But you can prevent it
CONNOR
You don’t know where to start – not at all
FAITH
That’s not true
CONNOR
Then fine tell us the plan – you’re making out like this is some huge urgency and we’re all going to need to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. Nothing’s happening we’ve not had a single sign that there’s an apocalypse!
FAITH
What the hell kind of sign do you want?
A loud crash comes from outside as they all rush over to the window, a horse drawn carriage goes by with four well dressed men in the back
CONNOR
That doesn’t count
CUT TO.
INT – MARIA’S HOUSE – NIGHT
Maria is still out on the floor as light floods around her. She wakes up and is in a long white dress in the centre of a field.
MARIA
Oh great, I’m dead!
She looks over and spots a young woman disappearing behind a tree
MARIA
Hello?
Maria follows behind the tree where she finds herself back in her house, looking over her still body.
ANYA
You’re not dead, it’s astral projection
MARIA
Do I know you?
ANYA
We might’ve met once or twice, I’m not sure – maybe you just saw a photograph of me but I’m here because your mind chose me to be your guide so yay for you
MARIA
My guide?
ANYA
Oh, you’re going on some spiritual journey or possibly a hike I forget which one but I think you’re here to learn so you’re not just a woman shaped cabbage being licked by her cat.
Maria looks down and sees that her cat is licking non-astral Maria’s fingers.
MARIA
You’d think this wouldn’t surprise me

INT – ANDREWS BAR – NIGHT
Andrew is back in the bar wiping down as Korben reads a newspaper. Anya and Maria appear out of nowhere
ANDREW
So, do you think anything’s going to come of her dream?
MARIA
Who’s dream?
KORBEN
I don’t know, I don’t even know the girl
MARIA
Hello, who’s dream?
ANYA
They can’t hear you – you’re like not here, just sort of here
MARIA
Who’s dream?
ANYA
Faiths’ dreams, the ones that knocked you out
MARIA
Who’s the guy?
ANYA
In six weeks he’ll officially be co-owner of Andrew’s heart, the night they first share a bed – for now they’ll just kiss that’ll happen a lot after Thursday night
MARIA
What’s Thursday night?
ANYA
Apocalypse. Korben, the guy – he’s gonna play a huge part in the apocalypse, just not this one. It’ll happen next summer I think.
MARIA
Wait – there’s really an apocalypse this week? How big
ANYA
Hard to tell on a scale of big to small, I’d say not small
MARIA
So big?
ANYA
Could be medium, could be big – just not small
MARIA
…Why are we in Andrew’s bar?
ANYA
I figured I’d ease you in lightly to let you know the hot topic throughout this trip
CUT TO.
INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT
ANYA
See that – that is a girl on the edge
Anya points at Dawn
MARIA
She looks kinda calm to me
ANYA
Always watch out for the quiet ones, you heard about Willow right? If Dawn doesn’t get away for a while she’ll probably try and eat someone’s skull
Faith is loading up weapons in her room as Maria and Anya walk in through the locked door.
ANYA
She’s super nervous. Any minute now she’ll get the pictures out
MARIA
What pictures?
ANYA
The mood pictures
MARIA
What?
Faith takes a deep breath and pulls out a set of photo’s from underneath her bed
ANYA
First there’s confidence…
Faith stares hard at a picture of her with Angel stood outside the Hyperion Hotel.
ANYA…
Then the anger…
She flips the page and shakes her head at her parents wedding photo
ANYA
Passion!
Faith looks at a picture of Jones prancing about with her weapons
ANYA
Hope…
Faith places a small picture of Dawn in her pocket.
ANYA
…and Pride
Faith looks hardest at this picture. She’s stood at the academy with her arms around Buffy. Vi, Rona, Kennedy and Harley are also with them.
FAITH
One for the team B
She flashes a smile and tucks the pictures away
MARIA
Wow, she’s pretty deep
ANYA
That’s true. She’s like an onion
(pause)
Lot’s of layers, real hot and can make you cry quite easily
MARIA
I don’t understand why can’t I be having an epiphany about my own life? Why are you showing me everyone else’s?
ANYA
Because you’re already unconscious and it’s easier to work with you than twist fate and make someone else get knocked out…besides it’s not for your benefit it’s for Faiths.
MARIA
Faith’s?
ANYA
None of them have any confidence in her, especially this time around – Jones is the only one that really believes in her and he’s shaky this time so I need you to understand her.
MARIA
I get her
ANYA
You might get her but you don’t understand her – nobody does which is why they’re doubting her. You need to see the world as she sees it in order to “get it” so we’re gonna play This Is Your Life, only it’s her life not yours so we’ll play “This girls Life”
END OF PART ONE
Note: Several scenes will involve looks at Faith’s past – this will be the only dialogue in those scenes thought Maria and Anya will actually be present
~ Boston, 6 June 1982~
BOSTON HOSPITAL : 6.00a.m
DOLLORIS
Take it away from me!
NURSE
Miss, that’s your daughter
DOLLORIS
That is the child of the devil! Can’t you tell? All you must do is look at the time of birth
NURSE
6a.m?
DOLLORIS
On the sixth hour of the sixth day in the sixth month – Satan himself taints her
*
MARIA
My god she was hated from birth
ANYA
Wait until you see Daddy’s reaction…oh wait we don’t see that until Faith’s thirteen and goes to see him in prison to find out why he raped her Mom and left her pregnant
CUT TO.
INT – FAITH’S APARTMENT – NIGHT
Faith’s still in her room as Dawn enters
DAWN
Hey
FAITH
What’s happenin’ kid?
DAWN
Not much, what are you doing?
FAITH
Avoiding everyone
DAWN
How come?
FAITH
They keep looking at me like you are, like I’m insane
DAWN
We don’t think that Faith
FAITH
But you feel it – even though you felt it yourself, so why are you denying what’s going to happen?
DAWN
Because we have no proof, we have nothing – you know what dreams are like, when you were talking about me arriving and Buffy’s death I was a cat and her tombstone was an alarm clock – they don’t make sense. For all we know you were just pre-guessing the arrival of this demon you killed.
FAITH
I’m not wrong Dawn
DAWN
Then show me
CUT TO.
‘Boston High School – May 1998’
Jones walks out of the school and kisses Faith who’s sat on the wall.
JONES
Yo’ Faith you’re spending more time here since you dropped out than you did when you actually were allowed on property
FAITH
You know me cheeks, like to rebel
WOMAN (O.S)
Faith?
FAITH
Depends who’s asking?
Faith chomps on her gum with attitude as Jones hold her around the waist
WOMAN
You need to come with me, your destiny awaits
FAITH
Did I win a car or something?
JONES
Yo’ take a hike reject
FAITH
You heard the guy
WOMAN
Please, Faith I need to speak to you alone, it’s important
FAITH
You’re serious aren’t you?
WOMAN
Deadly
Faith pulls away from Jones and takes the woman to one side
FAITH
(to Jones)
Keep and eye shot
WOMAN
You’ve been chosen Faith, the slayer
FAITH
Grunge music not really my thing but…
WOMAN
THE Slayer, one girl in all the world, a chosen one, she alone will fight against the vampires and demons, she is the slayer
FAITH
And I’m here?
WOMAN
Yes
FAITH
I don’t think so
WOMAN
So you haven’t felt stronger? You haven’t had the dreams?
Faith suddenly looks serious
FAITH
I’m listening
CUT TO.
EXT – BOSTON GRAVE YARD – NIGHT
Dawn and Faith arrive at the same hot spot as the previous episode, Dawn reaches out her hand
FAITH
Feel it?
DAWN
A little, why do I know this place?
FAITH
Quo’Tarth and the plug, I think they’ve meshed that’s why we’ve been getting demons back, ones we’ve not seen – they’re hybrids of the demons we sent away and the demon’s from Quo’Tarth.
DAWN
But…we sealed it off
FAITH
That’s what I thought, but Boston’s burning baby
CUT TO.
‘Boston, October 1998’
INT – JONES HOUSE – NIGHT
Jones returns to find Faith laying on his bed
JONES
Long time no see stranger
FAITH
I’ve been busy
JONES
With that lady?
FAITH
I won’t be seeing her anymore
JONES
Why not?
FAITH
She’s dead
JONES
What? Faith I’m so sorry
FAITH
Hey you didn’t kill her
JONES
I know but…
FAITH
So don’t sweat, I’ll get it past it – just another one that went away that’s all
JONES
Faith…
FAITH
Speaking of going away, I wanna thank you for not doing what my Mom, Wendy, The Foster home or Sex uncle George did – thanks for not going away
JONES
I won’t, ever
FAITH
But I will
JONES
What?
FAITH
I’m moving to California. I’m not coming back
JONES
But…I…why?
FAITH
I have to see someone
JONES
Who?
FAITH
Don’t get all mushy Jay, it’s not like we’re in love or anything, just a bit of fun huh?
JONES
What…how can you…
FAITH
You were good for what little time you lasted but it’s time to move on to the next piece of rough
JONES
I don’t understand
FAITH
There’s a shock
Faith winks as she leaves
FAITH
Keep working on it maybe you’ll last longer
She closes the door behind her and wipes a tear from her eye before running out of his house.
MARIA
But she loved him
ANYA
But she couldn’t accept that, not after what her family and everyone did to her, not after her watcher died.
CUT TO.
INT – ANDREWS BAR – NIGHT
ANDREW
She’s still not answering…it’s morning
KORBEN
Maybe she’s tired, Faith said the spell took a lot out of her
ANDREW
I guess, okay – if she’s not up in like two hours then I’m calling over
KORBEN
Such a gentleman
