INT – CLUB – NIGHT
HARMONY
Oh god – they’re after me! They all want me dead for going off of humans!
ALL
What?
HARMONY
It’s this day and age – the fast food you all eat, it’s bad for my complexion, not to mention how unhealthy it is for me
CORDELIA
Harmony, you’re dead!
SPIKE
Dead stupid
WILLOW
Spike, I get that but I think that’s not the issue right now
SPIKE
Right – Willow, do that sun mojo
CORDELIA
What about Harmony?
SPIKE
What about her?
WILLOW
We can’t just frazzle her
SPIKE
Why not?
WILLOW
Because
(beat)
We know her
SPIKE
Point?
WILLOW
Spike!
SPIKE
(rolling his eyes)
Fine.
The vampires home in as the four of them spread thin amongst them, ready for action.
CUT TO.
INT – WESLEYS ROOM – NIGHT
A knock at the door
WESLEY
(sigh)
Come in
MS WILTON
Evening Mr. Price, Groo asked me to see if you needed anything
WESLEY
No, I’m fine thank you Mrs. Green
MS WILTON
It’s so nice that Groo has some family staying at last, you can tell he’s your son
With that the old lady leaves Wes to his work
WESLEY
(offended)
My son!
CUT TO.
INT – WOLFRAM & HART – NIGHT
Gunn is leaving his office for the night as he slips past the filing office, left open and unguarded – curious? Indeed.
He steps inside and moves immediately over the index on ‘Angel Investigations’ he spends a few minutes flicking randomly through the files before coming across “the plan”
Gunn pulls open the file, his eyes widen in shock.
CUT TO.
EXT – CLUB – NIGHT
Spike, Willow and Cordelia are collapsed against the wall completely breathless, as Harmony stands in front of them
HARMONY
That was so cool, I know now – I don’t wannabe a roller waitress anymore
(beat)
I wannabe a crime fighter!
They all look at each other with fear before turning their attention back to Harmony.
CUT TO.
INT – WESLEYS ROOM – DAY
Wesley has been up all night, stressing over the books as it all begins to come together slowly.
**flash**
Darla laying in the hyperion
**flash**
Wesley taking a baby
**flash**
Connor as a baby, Connor returning, Connor with Jasmine
Wesley sits back for a moment to take it all in before grabbing the papers and his coat and rushing out of the room.
CORDELIA
Where’s he going?
Willow and Spike pass glances and stand to follow immediately
WILLOW
Wesley!
WESLEY
Not now Willow
WILLOW
Staticus!
Wesley is frozen to the spot as Willow and Spike catch up with him. Spike crosses in front of him and places his hands on Wesley’s arms holding him to face.
WESLEY
What do you think you’re doing?
SPIKE
Stoppin’ you from busting one of the biggest plans we’ve ever had is all
WESLEY
You know about Connor?
SPIKE
For sometime now
WESLEY
And Willow?
SPIKE
Everyone knows about Willow
WILLOW
He means do I know!
(pause)
Which I will answer with a sort of definitely maybe yes
WESLEY
I don’t understand
WILLOW
Yes
WESLEY
Not your reply, Angel. Why did he do this?
SPIKE
Bit of a long story mate, one I don’t think we’ve got time for
WILLOW
Spike?
SPIKE
If the headless wonder and her cronies are no longer in control of Angel, If he’s broken his end of the bargain – why should they keep thiers?
CORDELIA (O.S)
Oh my god!
SPIKE
Now she knows
CORDELIA (O.S)
Argh that stupid big haired freak wants to pray he walks into something sharp and wooden before I see him
SPIKE
We’ve got to do something
(pause)
Stay here, Willow keep everything at bay
WILLOW
Where are you going?
SPIKE
See a man about a boy about a man about a girl
WESLEY/WILLOW
What?
SPIKE
Trust me
CUT TO.
INT – WOLFRAM & HART – LILAHS OFFICE – DAY
Lilah is sat at her desk as Gunn crashes through the door storming towards her
GUNN
Now see this
(he slams the file down)
This little plan that’s already failed, I am telling you now it’s not going to it’s next step
LILAH
Gunn, come in, be comfortable
GUNN
Don’t get smart with me woman – you think you can put us enough in danger to convince Angel to hand over his soul? You think that’ll work
They’re interrupted as Connor knocks at the door
CONNOR
Miss Morgan – I’m finished with the phone calls
LILAH
Take a break I’ll find you when I’m ready
GUNN
Who was that?
LILAH
The intern
GUNN
Nice kid – now where were we? Oh right – you aint messin’ wit’ Angels soul again, you need to get past that once and for all
LILAH
Charles is there a point to this or did you just come here to play make believe
GUNN
Make believe
LILAH
Mr. Defensive protecting his friends – big and mighty and important
GUNN
You don’t know what you’re saying
LILAH
Right, you and Fred you belong together, after all even Cordelia – the ship jumped, she was welcomed back with open arms yet they don’t even try to take you away from us
(smug)
What does that tell you?
GUNN
It tells me I’m about to get violent on your behind
LILAH
I’d rather take it upfront but whatever suits you best
GUNN
You can get those nasty ass hands away from me woman, I told you – one way or another I aint letting this happen
LILAH
What are you gonna do to stop it? Kill me?
GUNN
Nah, you aint worth the stains on my clothes
(beat)
I’m yours – I’m signing fulltime to Wolfram & Hart
LILAH
You think that’ll stop us?
GUNN
I think you know what it means
LILAH
It means nothing ‘Charles’
GUNN
No, it means…
CUT TO.
EXT – WOLFRAM & HART – DAY
Connor is sat on the bench out front, eating his lunch as Spike skids up to the pavement.
SPIKE
Where’s Angel?
CONNOR
I don’t keep tabs – what’s going on?
SPIKE
Your little plan to go undercover in here
(beat)
We’re doing it now and then getting the hell out of this deal
CONNOR
Why? What’s happened?
SPIKE
I’ll explain later just get to the final phase of the plan and skip the middle stuff
CUT TO.
INT – LILAHS OFFICE – DAY
Lilah is sat alone as she stares into space looking guilty as sin – shame on her face.
She pauses a moment before scrambling for the phone.
CUT TO.
INT – WILTONS MANSION – DAY
Angel comes up through the cellar door to be greeted by Wesley, Cordelia, Groo, Harmony and Willow.
ANGEL
Harmony’s here?
WILLOW
She’s leaving tomorrow
GROO
I made cakes
WESLEY
Angel we need to talk
ANGEL
Can’t it wait
WESLEY
It’s about Connor
(pause)
Your Son.
FADE TO BLACK.
INT – WILTONS CELLAR – DAY
ANGEL
What are you talking about?
CORDELIA
We’re not stupid we know exactly what you did
ANGEL
Thanks Spike!
CORDELIA
Don’t blame him he didn’t say anything
ANGEL
Lorne
CORDELIA
Lorne knows!?
ANGEL
Willow?
WILLOW
You
WESLEY
Angel, your deal with Wolfram & Hart…
ANGEL
(realising)
It’s over
WESLEY
Exactly and that’s why we all…
Before Wesley finishes Angel shoots back out of the cellar
WESLEY
Remember…where’s he gone?
CUT TO
INT – SEWERS – DAY
Angel is sprinting the distance through the sewers, desperately trying to get back to Wolfram & Hart.
CUT TO.
INT – WOLFRAM & HART – DAY
Lilah is sprinting down the corridors as if her life depended on it
CUT TO.
INT – BATHING ROOM – DAY
Gunn steps into the room in his robe as two young women, both of an african origin, covered in jewels, eyes a sharp emerald green – step from the water and remove his robe.
GUNN
Brother could get used to this
The women take Gunn to the water, both in silence as the steam fills the room, drifting up his nose, into his ears, through his eyes
GUNN
Man that’s smooth
Both girls smile at each other, Gunn’s eyes close in relaxation as one of the girls dissolves into a dark purple liquid – sliding over his skin and seeping in.
After minutes of bathing he opens his eyes
GUNN
Where’d she go?
GIRL
She had to leave
GUNN
So soon?
CUT TO.
INT – FREDS LAB – DAY
Fred is sat, rather exhausted and low as she looks over Knox failed plans
FRED
I guess I’ll have to finish them for ya huh
SPIKE (O.S)
(breathless)
Fred
FRED
Spike what are you doing here? What’s wrong?
SPIKE
We have to leave
FRED
Are we under attack again?
SPIKE
Fred just trust me – the deal’s expired
FRED
What deal, I don’t understand
SPIKE
Fred we’re leaving
FRED
No! You can’t just t-tell me what I’m doing
SPIKE
Fine
(smack – Freds out cold)
Sorry pet, some women are harder to convince
He flings Fred over his shoulder and heads to the carpark where he bumps straight into Angel
ANGEL
What are you doing here? Is she dead?
Spike passes Fred to Angel
SPIKE
I’m doing what you’d get killed trying – get her out of here, I’ll be back at the mansion soon
ANGEL
Connor?
SPIKE
He’ll be with me
(pause)
Go!
Spike runs off as Angel dives back into the sewer, Fred in arms
CUT TO.
INT – WOLFRAM & HART
Lilah is still running through corridors, checking her watch all the way
Connor steps out of a side door
CONNOR
Miss Morgan, are you okay?
LILAH
Where’s Gunn?
CONNOR
Who?
LILAH
The black guy that came into my office where is he?
CONNOR
I don’t know
(pause)
Are you okay?
LILAH
Not if I don’t find him
CONNOR
Can I help?
LILAH
Connor, the only way you can help is by leaving – I think you know aswell as I do that it’s over. Leave while you can.
CONNOR
But…
LILAH
Connor I have you here because I knew this was going to happen! I knew the senior partners were going to start the final phase of this plan the second Angel walked out of those doors and I know you’re aware of who he is – now If I don’t get to Gunn before he finds out then we’ll have all hell to pay. Believe me.
On that note, Lilah continues off down the corridor where she finally comes to the bathing room.
She flings open the double doors
LILAH
Stop, Stop now!
GUNN
Um, do you always jump in on naked people?
(beat)
stupid question
LILAH
You’re dry?
GUNN
Um, well done. Leave.
Lilah takes a breath of relief and slowly walks away
From the other side of the room, the young woman enters again, smiling.
GUNN
You just missed Lilah
(beat)
She came in all crazy shocked that I knew how to dry myself off after a bath!
CUT TO.
INT – WOLFRAM & HART – DAY
Spike is jogging along the corridor nervously looking around as he is pulled in through a side door.
CONNOR
You ready?
SPIKE
We’re more than likely gonna die here today so let me tell you now
(beat)
You’re not to bad kid
CONNOR
Oh god – we’re gonna die
SPIKE
Probably – you scared
CONNOR
Not really, can’t be that hard
SPIKE
‘cept I’ve got a feeling they know I’m here
CONNOR
Why?
SPIKE
Master security system and six punched out guards drops a hint
(pause)
Listen you’ve just gotta grab the files and leave okay? No flappin’ about being nosey – just get in, get out and live.
CONNOR
Got it.
END OF PART THREE
INT- WILTONS MANSION – DAY
Wesley’s phone is on the side of table ringing, flashing Lilah. Nobody is around so Harmony fetches it.
HARMONY
Hello
LILAH
Who’s this?
HARMONY
Who’s this?
LILAH
My name came up on the phone idiot – where’s Wesley?
HARMONY
I don’t know – leave a message or something
LILAH
I need to speak to him now
HARMONY
What am I? Do I look like his receptionist?
LILAH
I can’t see you half-wit
Harmony is interrupted as Angel bursts through the cellar door holding Fred
HARMONY
Ooh somethings going down so be quick
LILAH
Tell Wesley that Lilah called. Gunn signed the dotted line – they need to meet me at the Hyperion right away
HARMONY
Okay
CUT TO.
INT – WOLFRAM & HART FILING OFFICE – DAY
Connor enters the room carefully, creeping through as if he were night crawler. Spike is stood by the door on guard.
CONNOR
Let’s see…Angel Investigations
(beat)
6,782 files!
(pause)
Specifics…
CUT TO.
INT – WILTONS MANSION
Wesley is stood with Angel and Cordelia ready to explain himself as Harmony enters
CORDELIA
Harm, not a good time
HARMONY
But…
ANGEL
Harmony
HARMONY
It’s important I promise
(beat)
Wesley, some girl called Lily called and she said you have to meet her at the hyper dome because um, something about a gun on a dotted line?
The three of them glance at each other before shooting past Harmony – Wes and Cordelia dashing to the car, Angel hitting the sewers again.
CUT TO.
INT – HYPERION – DAY
LILAH
We may still have time
WESLEY
How did you let this happen?
CORDELIA
She’s evil Wesley
(pause)
More to the point why are you telling us? I bet this is a trap
LILAH
It’s not a trap, I’m telling you because
(pause)
I have invested interest in you living
Wesley passes Lilah a half smile
ANGEL
What about Connor and Spike?
LILAH
I told Connor to go to you right away
ANGEL
When was that?
LILAH
About an hour ago
ANGEL
Wolfram & Hart is twenty minutes from us, he didn’t go there
LILAH
Look we can find him later, if you don’t get inside there now and stop Gunn from bathing – you can’t even be prepared for what will happen
ANGEL
How long to we have?
LILAH
No idea – maximum of fifteen, maybe twenty minutes – Cordelia I can get you in there easily, the don’t know you like the others. Angel you’ll have to find the best way in.
CORDELIA
But if Gunn hasn’t been bathed yet…he’ll be able to get out it right? With Connor?
LILAH
I don’t know – all I do know is that you want to pray that he remembered Connor before the bathing, something as heavy as that can really piss a guy of his temperament off.
CUT TO.
INT – FILING OFFICE – DAY
Connor is about to close the draw on the files as he spots one marked “Connor Angel (Laim, Stephen)”
CONNOR
I have my own file?
GUNN (O.S)
We have your own file
(pause)
It belongs to Wolfram & Hart
CUT TO.
EXT – FILING OFFICE
Spike is unconscious on the floor
CUT TO.
INT – FILING OFFICE
CONNOR
You’re Gunn right? Lilah was looking for you
GUNN
Right, you’re the Intern kid
(shakes his hand)
What are you doing down here? Did Lilah send you?
CONNOR
No, I…
Connor attempts to walk past Gunn but his path is blocked
GUNN
What’s the file kid?
Gunn snatches it from his hands before laughing a little in confusion
GUNN
Angels son?
(beat)
Mind violation?
Gunn looks up at Connor, hurt, confused and angry
GUNN
My friends messed with my mind, my history so accommodate you?
CONNOR
What’s going on with your…
Connor is flung across the room by Gunn
GUNN
I don’t like being lied to, and nobody making a fool out Charles Gunn
Gunn stands tall over Connor as purple clouds fill his eyes, purple liquid flows under his skin, he seems taller as his pupils illuminate red and he steps towards Connor.
