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 to 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. FADE TO BLACK. INT – FILING OFFICE Gunn closes in on Connor, slamming his hand onto the middle of the boys chest and lifting him from the ground. GUNN Not now Gunn pulls Connor above his head and flings him into the filing cabinets, denting them and leaving Connor crumbled in the corner GUNN Not ever Gunn plunges towards him yet again, the further the rage grows the further the strength builds – the harder Gunn is to take down. Connor looks through the gaps of his hair, parted over his face by sweating fear – he stares up trembling as Gunn marches heavily at him – then over his shoulder as he’s ready to give up, he spots a familiar face. CODY (can only be heard by Connor) Wuss! I’ve killed bigger rats! Connor smiles proudly as Cody vanish – was it an illusion? A subconscious message? Either was it gave Connor enough fuel to brave up to Gunn – Connor rolls out of the path of his fist so to be positioned behind him. Once there he lifts his leg high and boots it hard into Gunns back flinging him into the wall. However the reaction isn’t quite what he’d planned as the weight of Gunn shatters up the wall causing pieces of the ceiling to break loose. Without a second though Connor flees the room, lifting Spike on his exit. GUNN You can’t hide Connor! Gunn remains standing strong as the entire room collapses around him leaving nothing to site but a pile of rubble.

Skala, Mercedes McNab, Mark Lutz as Groo and Alexa Davolas as Gwen EXT – WOLFRAM & HART Lilah and Cordelia are cautiously walking up the steps to the main building – Lilah rushes nervously as Cordelia stops in her tracks LILAH What are you doing? CORDELIA Taking a moment to reflect LILAH Haven’t you had enough down time already? Cordelia looks hard into Lilah’s eyes as she walks face to face with Lilah CORDELIA I don’t remember all that much about this kid – Willow seems to be doing a pretty hefty job in holding the strings together (pause) But what I do know is that Angel loves him enough to risk losing everyone LILAH I’m sure you have a point Miss Chase – it’s just hidden out of sight CORDELIA If anything and I stress anything, happens to that boy whilst I’m alive – I will hold you responsible and you’re going straight back to hell LILAH Is that a threat? CORDELIA I don’t make threats Lilah (pause) You think you’re such a hot bitch? Queen C’s back and she’s keeping her crown The two women remain in silence as the doors swing open – Connor limps along as he holds Spike up – both supporting each others weight CORDELIA Spike?! LILAH Connor what happened? He has no time to answer as several security guards pour out of the building GUARD Miss Morgan what are you doing with these people? LILAH It’s okay – I’ll deal with it, stand down No reaction LILAH Stand down! The guards slowly back away inside the building as Lilah turns to Cordelia LILAH It’s started CUT TO. INT – HYPERION Connor and the others arrive – Angel immediately rushes over to Connor ANGEL Connor – CONNOR I’m okay ANGEL Are you sure? You’re hurt I can CONNOR I said I’m okay (harsh) Back off okay? ANGEL Sorry (to Lilah) What happened? LILAH Seems the boy wonder or biker Barbie over there, said something to really piss him off WESLEY Gunn? ANGEL It’s not Gunn anymore LILAH Oh it’s Gunn and he’s fully loaded (off looks) Okay so that wasn’t a good one, the point is Angel – it’s Gunn you’re dealing with, it’ll be his feeling and thoughts that push the rage ANGEL Then we stop him, we talk him down or whatever it takes CONNOR He’s dead CORDELIA What? CONNOR He’s dead – the room it caved in on him, all of it CORDELIA Gunn’s gone? LILAH You wish! (Thinks) well you probably don’t wish that – but he’s not gone. ANGEL What do you mean he’s not gone? A room fell on him LILAH Right you think Wolfram & Hart spent years developing this – working on this so that a falling building could shatter their design? It’s started Angel. WESLEY What? LILAH The final phase – Gunns blood “infection” just a little magic and chemicals made up by our dear little southern mistress, unknown to her of course – you’d be surprised how easy these keen science types are to corrupt WESLEY Lilah LILAH But it’s not just Gunn – you see everyone who’s signed the new contracts got the good stuff, Lacey, Knox, Sirk, Professor Walding, Joanna from Reception – ANGEL They’re all dead LILAH You think that matters to the likes of you, them and me? (beat) that it Angel – beginning of the end. FADE TO BLACK. INT – WILTONS MANSION Willow is sat in the kitchen with Harmony as Groo cooks up a dinner – all are in complete silence. WILLOW So… HARMONY So what? WILLOW Just so HARMONY God I can’t believe I’m stuck here with you WILLOW (mock shock) Really? (sarcastic) Because I’m so thrilled to have the company HARMONY Whatever okay – as soon as the sun goes down, I’m out of here WILLOW Oh and I was so looking forward to being best friends! HARMONY Shut up! I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for those stop intention guys WILLOW Intention? HARMONY You know – chips in the head no more killing WILLOW The Initiative? HARMONY Yeah those guys the got me in San Francisco and… WILLOW I have to make a call HARMONY Don’t worry I was only telling a story about my pain! (beat) Mean! Willow walks through to the hall as only to be met by Fred at the bottom of the stairs FRED Is it true? WILLOW The initiative? FRED Who? WILLOW Oh, Connor (awkward smile) It’s true FRED I don’t believe you WILLOW Um, okay FRED Why are you saying this? You just come back to Los Angeles and start telling lies WILLOW Fred, I didn’t…I mean… Fred looks at Willow and bursts into tears, sliding to the ground, back against the wall. FRED I just don’t understand what’s gone wrong with us WILLOW Shh, Fred what’s wrong? FRED What’s wrong?! We’ve fallen apart! Angel investigations working for the enemy, we’re working separately now and then Angels playing with our minds WILLOW Fred it’s not like that, it’s more com… FRED Don’t! (sniffle) Don’t tell me that it’s complicated – (small laugh) Gunn and I are the only ones left there and we’re not even… WILLOW You don’t know? FRED Don’t know what? CUT TO. INT – HYPERION Spike, Connor, Wesley, Cordelia and Angel are all stood in a circle trying to come up with a plan as Fred crashes through the door closely followed by Willow – the first thing she does is leap at Lilah knocking her to the floor. She sits over her continuously slapping at her. FRED You didn’t tell me! You did this, You know you did it! ANGEL Fred! FRED Bitch! Angel grabs Fred by the arm and pulls her off of Lilah LILAH Crazy bitch! WESLEY Lilah! LILAH Oh you’re going to defend miss slaps-a-lot! WESLEY (ignoring) Fred what’s going on? FRED Her! You think I don’t know – Willow told me that Gunns gone and I know exactly how! LILAH Is that so? ***Flashback*** ‘October 14th 2003’ FRED (V.O) Seven months ago, I was in the lab with Knox Fred is handed an envelope from him FRED (V.O) It was just after Cordelia woke up, you gave me a special project Fred looks at the page in shock excitement FRED (V.O) It said it was a steroid used for coma patients – increasing their strength and sense in order to rouse them earlier ***flash to now*** FRED Then the first batch disappeared ***flash to*** ‘March 2004’ Lilah sneaks into the laboratory and takes to bile’s of the serum ***flash to now*** FRED You knew that it only need a single drop for the serum to take effects Lilah ***flash to Earlier this day*** Gunn is in Lilah’s office looking over the contract – she stands at a far table making Coffee – she drops a full spoon of the serum into the mug and hands it to Gunn GUNN You sure this aint gonna kill me? LILAH I think it’s unlikely ***flash to the bathing*** FRED (V.O) You knew from Knox that it was water based, it needed to be woken up by moisture – but there was a flaw in the design, the fact that – in being water based, whoever touched it undiluted would become water based. The bathing girl swims to the side to grab more of the serum to rub onto Gunn as “massage oil” she spills it on her skin and dissolves before approaching him ***flash to now*** FRED How am I doing so far? LILAH Strangely accurate FRED I invented the stuff Lilah did you think I wouldn’t know how it works? SPIKE So are we just gonna spend hours blaggin’ each other of we gonna get off our bums and save your friend ANGEL (to Fred) What’s next? FRED I can’t be sure – until I know exactly what happened, exactly how long and how much is in him, I can’t be sure (pause) All I know is that Knox and I never finished it before he died, the side effects are incredibly unpredictable ANGEL We’ve got to get to Gunn – fast (beat) We need back up CUT TO. INT – WOLFRAM AND HART Slowly the bricks begin to tumble from the pile as the dust shakes. Within an instant Gunn bursts through from beneath the mess and stands tall, strong and seriously pissed. GUNN Now I’m mad CUT TO. LILAH Is there anything I can do ANGEL You can… WESLEY (hurt) Stay out of the way (beat) I don’t want you near me LILAH Wes… WESLEY Sorry Lilah – It’s done now. It’s over. (to the others) We’ll head back to HQ and work it form there The others begin to pour out as Lilah stands alone – CORDELIA I have my car – I’ll catch up with you Cordelia watches the others walk off as she steps down a level to come face to face with Lilah once again LILAH Here to carry out your threat CORDELIA Shut up. (beat) Now you know that I would rather see you burn in front of me than have another of our girl talks but here’s the thing (sigh) I love Wesley he’s my friend and as unrealistic and damn stupid as it sounds – he loves you LILAH Yeah right CORDELIA Yes. I am right, for a change. He does and if you can’t see that then you’re blind as well as being dead and evil…or something. (beat) The fact they all over looked is that you even came to warn us in the first place, you didn’t do that to cause trouble LILAH How can you be so sure? CORDELIA I can see it in your eyes – you done that for him. So do this for him and help us, because I know you can Lilah and I know… Cordelia is interrupted as the front wall from the Hyperion comes crashing down – torn off by Gunn. CORDELIA Gunn – it’s me, Cordelia – listen we want to help you GUNN Help me what? CORDELIA Help you get better LILAH Charles, listen to her! GUNN Don’t talk to me! Gunn smacks Lilah hard in the face flinging her across the room and over the counter in the reception CORDELIA (scared) Lilah! (pleading) Gunn, please listen to me! Listen! GUNN I’m through with listening to you, all of you (shouting) For four years all I’ve done is listen and hand over my power and status to the rest of you CORDELIA That’s not true GUNN Isn’t it? So I didn’t leave all of my friends for a promise of respect only to end up as the lackey to some former cheerleader and her dead lover CORDELIA I hope you were just describing Buffy! GUNN Always making with the jokes Cordelia – you are the joke! You’re the girl who went from something, some popular Hollywood gonna-be to some cradle snatching – demon spawning – vegetable – crime fighter wannabe. Cordelia forgets the danger and sight and gives her true self, slapping Gunn hard across the face CORDELIA Okay broken hand GUNN Broken all Gunn smacks Cordelia hard in the face, catching her as she falls – he looks around the Hyperion once more before leaving with Cordelia in his arms Lilah remains bloody and unconscious on the floor. CUT TO. INT – WILTON MANSION ANGEL She should be here by now! WESLEY She’s going as fast as she can ANGEL Not the locator spell – Cordelia, why isn’t she here? FRED It has been almost an hour ANGEL Something wrong – I know it, something’s gone wrong (pause) I’m going back for her WESLEY Angel… CONNOR I’m coming with you Everyone faces Connor in shock CONNOR What? ANGEL Fine. Connor don’t get killed – Fred, you know where you have to go Fred rolls her eyes in disappointment ANGEL We need all the back up we can get! CUT TO.

ANGEL My friends going missing or evil? It gets tired after a while CONNOR The sewage thing – that jacket looks expensive ANGEL It was – so were the other fourteen matching ones CONNOR And you’re not gay?

The two of them wonder through and stop at the sight of the wall ANGEL Gunn… CONNOR Angel Angel turns to see Connor with his fingers on Lilah’s neck CONNOR She’s dead (dramatic pause) ANGEL Yeah… CUT TO. INT – GWENS APARTMENT Gwen is sat opposite Fred – neither speaks as Gwen sits confused GWEN So let me get this straight, Denzel has gone evil because Lilah stole a potion from you that made him go completely senco. Now she’s come to tell you so that you can stop him before it gets out of hand, only, it’s already out of hand because you – who tried to kill me three months ago, are here in my apartment asking for help. FRED That’s pretty much it GWEN Interesting FRED If you’re not going to help then I’ll leave GWEN So leave FRED You’re not going to help? GWEN Never said that chica FRED (under breath) Talk about holding grudges GWEN I’d say I’m within all rights to hold grudges cow girl. You did try to kill me remember? FRED You slept with my boyfriend! GWEN You made him into the incredible hulk! Fred slaps Gwen who simply smiles in back a little shocked GWEN Looks like you’re ready to do a little more than experiment now – you’re getting in the mix this time Pooh bear FRED Pooh bear GWEN Whinnie! CUT TO. INT – HYPERION Connor lifts Lilah onto the counter, checking for any injuries ANGEL She’s dead Connor – she’ll be fine CONNOR What? ANGEL It’s a thing GUNN (O.S) Well if it isn’t count Drac-u-liar Angel and Connor both spin round to see Gunn stood in the door way holding “Diamond” dead in his arms (see episode 13) END OF PART TWO [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

CONNOR Who’s that? ANGEL It’s Gunn- you met CONNOR Thanks brain guy – I meant the dead guy GUNN Oh this – just some guy who pissed me off some weeks back CONNOR Oh, glad to not have pissed you off ANGEL Except for the ceiling thing CONNOR Thanks – that’ll calm him down GUNN Shut up! ANGEL/CONNOR Sorry Gunn throws ‘Diamond’ onto the floor and marches down the steps throwing any obstructions out of the way. ANGEL Gunn I can help (smack across the room) you GUNN Looks like you can’t even help yourself Having seen what Gunn just done to his Father, Connor’s first instinct is to defend him – he takes a deep breath and runs directly past Gunn, climbing the wall behind him and springing off into a spin kick – his foot crashing into the side of Gunns head. But to no avail, Gunn shifts yet Connor ricochets off of him and into the stairs ANGEL Connor… GUNN That’s gonna cost Junior some boy scout points ANGEL Don’t touch him! GUNN What? You think you can take me ‘bro? ANGEL I think I can die trying GUNN (Laughing) You’re already dead man, how can you love him when you have no heart ANGEL I have a soul GUNN A soul, a soul – damn it’s always about the soul, they’re just a waste of space when you can be feeling this kind of power my brother ANGEL That’s not power GUNN No then what is it? ANGEL Darkness GUNN Head to toe ANGEL You know you’re not going to win this Gunn – I can’t let you GUNN Here come the threats – always with the threats Angel, never making the move, that’s why you used me as the muscle. Look the Gunn away until something needs shooting ANGEL Is it like bad metaphor day? Gunn smacks Angel across the room with one hit, running over to him and lifting him again – throwing him around the room like an old rag doll. Angel springs his legs up to Gunns chest and knocks him back a few steps – he stands in front of him kicking him twice in the sides and heading in for another fist to face as Gunn grabs his wrist and throws him into a pillar, crumbling the surface. GUNN (looking at Connor) Looks in pretty bad shape – let’s see if I can fix that Gunn smiles wickedly at Angel as he begins to step over to Connor Connor is holding his ribs as he curls up on the floor – Gunn’s ready to make his move as a pole comes thrashing through his chest ANGEL Shouldn’t tear walls down – it only inspires me GUNN (weak) Think that’s gonna hold me down? ANGEL No (kicks Gunn to the ground) That bit comes later (Holding out hand to Connor) We’re leaving CONNOR Wait… Connor runs with the most amazing speed – straight to his room upstairs he appears seconds later holding a baseball bat CONNOR I’m gonna need this The two of them leave, Angel carrying Lilah – Gunn remains face down on the floor as his eyes flash a shocking purple GUNN You can run Angel…but you can’t… CUT TO.

FRED (whispered) In the crusty slutty flesh WILLOW (whispered) Which she seems to be showing quite a lot of through that, um, binding – tight and shiny leather (off look) It’s very bad – the big slut GWEN So we’ve got a plan? WESLEY Not yet. I’m afraid that it doesn’t look to well – so far we know that neither Angel nor the supposed “Destroyer” can even harm him ANGEL I put a pole through him FRED We’re killing him!? WESLEY Only as a last option (Apologetically) I’m afraid, Fred, that it’s going to come down to him or us HARMONY This sucks FRED It sucks more for us – you don’t even know the guy HARMONY Not that! I thought we were gonna hang out, this is so boring! WESLEY Then might I suggest you leave or go and play with some sharp wood in the sun HARMONY Who bit you on the butt? WILLOW Harmony!

LILAH I can’t believe I’m stuck in a cellar with Americans Dumbest Criminal, Mr. Speech Impediment and a Red headed fish eater! WILLOW (full on sarcasm) Oh because we were just planning a party – to show you how much we love having you around Willow crouches down at Lilah’s side and pulls out a band-aid and dettol from the first aid box. LILAH Don’t come near me with that stuff WILLOW It will only sting for a minute. On the count of three…one… She sprays it all over the cut LILAH Ow! WILLOW (smiling) two…three… Lilah flashes a sarcastic smile and stands to her feet WILLOW W-where are you going? LILAH I’m not staying here with the Brady Bunch! WILLOW But you’ll get more killed, I think that’ll piss some people off LILAH Really? (snark) Those people must be upstairs at that party you were talking about WILLOW (trying to block her) No, you should stay here – we have cookies LILAH I’ll survive without them WILLOW But – Wesley (avoid) West … um, coffee? LILAH Move. Lilah pushes Willow out of the way and heads towards the stairs only to be blocked by Connor LILAH How’d you… (beat) Of course, you’re his Son – flash Gordon the third CONNOR You’re not leaving here LILAH You care CONNOR Not really, but I think we she should have the exchange of a few words first WILLOW Oh – um is that the phone? I think it is Groo, Harm – wanna help me with that? HARMONY Get it yourself WILLOW Harmony! HARMONY What?

ANGEL Wise or not – it’s what’s happening WESLEY Let’s the round them up then and Angel… ANGEL I know Wes – only if the worst comes to the worst The two of them walk through to the living room in full on army mode – swinging the doors open only to reveal Mrs Wilton handing out cookies and milk WESLEY Mrs Wilton – good evening (beat) Groo?

CORDELIA Shiny. Pretty. Bored. GUNN Well, what happens when you add a bunch of cars full of gas…to a washed up cheerleader who’s on fire? (beat) Give up? Gunn smiles at Cordy as he pulls out a four-litre bottle of petrol from behind one of the stands in the warehouse. END OF PART THREE. INT – WESLEYS CAR ANGEL Willow we can’t drive forever WESLEY Shh Angel CONNOR Does she always do this? Connor glares at Willow who has a shock streak of white gliding through the centre of her hair – a luminous aura glows around her.
