INT – HYPERION
ANGEL
Gunn listen to me
GUNN
Why so you can lie some more?
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.
INT – WILTONS MANSION
Wesley, Angel, Harmony, Spike, Willow, Groo and Fred are stood around the kitchen table.
ANGEL
Where would he hide?
SPIKE
Right, you reckon something that big and nasty will bother to hide? Dumb animal
ANGEL
Cordy! Where would he hide Cordelia?
SPIKE
Oh, right
(beat)
She must really hate you y’know
WILLOW
(disapproving Mom look)
Spike
SPIKE
I mean she leaves town to go be this all out actress and comes back to tell you about some big dark rising, which has arisen – now she’s been bloody kidnapped. I can’t imagine you’re on her Christmas card list
ANGEL
(sad)
I know
SPIKE
Oh
(pause)
Well then that was no fun
HARMONY
We need to hide
SPIKE
He doesn’t know you’re with us you silly bint – best bet it was throw you out as a an appetiser
ANGEL
He doesn’t eat people Spike
(beat)
that was last years Apocalypse
SPIKE
‘scuse me for trying to lose some excess baggage
GWEN (O.S)
I see the fang gangs working tight as ever
ANGEL
Gwen!
GWEN
In the firm and tender flesh
WILLOW
(whispered to Fred)
This is the one you were telling me about?
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!
HARMONY
Fine – I’ll go tend to the wounded
The others observe as she goes by
WESLEY
Groo – could you, make sure she doesn’t kill them
ANGEL
Willow – make sure he doesn’t
WILLOW
I’m on it
CUT TO.
INT – WILTON MANSION CELLAR
Willow comes down the steps to see Harmony and Groo arguing already
HARMONY
Bite me you purple eyed freak!
GROO
I don’t understand these words – the noise that comes out of you it’s like my ears have glass in them
WILLOW
Okay, guys – bleeding people
Harmony’s vamp face goes on
WILLOW
Probably not a good idea
(beat)
Oh, Lilah’s dead though
Lilah throws Willow a look
WILLOW
Okay – don’t do that
(to Lilah)
Sorry, I don’t really like you
LILAH
My heart bleeds
HARMONY
Really? Does it hurt?
CONNOR
Did you get anything above a grade D in High School?
HARMONY
Yeah an E!
WILLOW
Harm…think
HARMONY
Yeah, ABCDE…Oh.
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?
GROO
I think that Willow is using that squeaky tone and look of discomfort to imply that we should leave the little boy to fight with the lady
HARMONY
Freak
(rolling eyes)
Fine, whatever let’s go
CUT TO.
INT – WAREHOUSE
Cordelia is tied to a chair, bound and gagged – small bruises and scratches all over her skin.
GUNN
Wakey, wakey Princess
(harsh)
I think you’ve had enough sleep
FADE TO BLACK.
INT – WILTONS MANSION
WESLEY
You’re sure that’s wise?
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?
GROO
Mrs. Wilton – we should go and look at the moon
(beat)
All one of them
The group sit smiling, waiting for the old lady to be taken from their presence
ANGEL
Okay two teams – team one, that’s Wesley’s team of Gwen, Fred and Spike – you’re going back to Wolfram & Hart and finding anything you can on how to stop this, I’m talking files, people, books – anything
(pause)
Team two, Willow and Connor, you’re with me
HARMONY
Ahem
ANGEL
(rolls eyes)
…and Harmony – we’re hunting Gunn, me and Connor have both pissed him off and he knows I’ll be looking for Cordelia, he’ll want to find me
WILLOW
Why am I with the team that’s going to die? No offence
ANGEL
I need your magic Will – you might be able to hold him off at least a little and…
Angel is interrupted by Connor’s cell phone ringing
CONNOR
It’s my Mom…my…I’m gonna take this out there
Connor leaves, Angel looks hurt before continuing
ANGEL
Team One – you’re in a kill or be killed situation, anything tries to stop you – take it down
SPIKE
Now we’re talking
ANGEL
Gwen – you know what to do, meet the others by the car park entrance once you’re done
(to Harmony)
Hit things when told and don’t speak
LILAH (O.S)
Aren’t you forgetting something?
ANGEL
I thought you left
(sigh)
You’re with team one
LILAH
I’m not talking about that Angel – it’s begun, remember? You think Gunn hasn’t dug up his assistants yet?
WESLEY
Assistants?
LILAH
Does anybody listen to me?
FRED
Is that rhetorical?
LILAH
You think Lacey, his last love won’t be at his side by now? Re-animated and seriously rejuvenated?
(beat)
Team two – the “fight club” is gonna need more muscle
ANGEL
Spike…
LILAH
Right, so send yourself with team one’s strongest person…
(rolls eyes)
Delayed reaction people? I know Wolfram & Hart like nobody’s business…Wesley go with Angel, I’ll run mission possible
ANGEL
How do we know we can trust you?
WESLEY
It’s all right
(beat)
I trust her on this
LILAH
Sweet of you Wes –
(smug)
So what are we waiting for?
CUT TO.
INT – WESLEYS CAR
Willow is sat nervously in back with Connor as Wesley drives
ANGEL
You really trust her?
WESLEY
Does it matter?
ANGEL
Little bit, yeah
WESLEY
Angel – she came to us, she didn’t have to warn or tell us anything
ANGEL
Trap
WESLEY
I don’t think so- I just don’t
CUT TO.
INT – WAREHOUSE
Cordelia slowly rouses to consciousness – the first thing she sees is Gunn sat angrily in front of her.
GUNN
Took your time to wake up
CORDELIA
(hazy)
Gunn? What am I…
(pause)
Right, You’re evil
GUNN
I’m not evil bitch!
(really shouting)
You’re the ones who are evil!!!
CORDELIA
Oh please!
(oops…)
I mean, yeah-bad ass – now just spank me and I’ll be on my way
(damn!)
Except I’m stuck to a chair
(sigh)
Where the hell is this?
GUNN
My place
Cordelia looks around at approximately twelve different Jaguars – all different colours
GUNN
Seems they pay well at Wolfram & Hart
CORDELIA
(sarcastic)
Damn! And I turned down the big money and uber evilness – what a ditz!
GUNN
You think I can’t see that you’re scared?
CORDELIA
Oh I think you can see it all right
GUNN
You know you’re gonna die here tonight – you know it doesn’t matter how soon they get here, your numbers up
CORDELIA
How many numbers do you get exactly because mines been up more times than Spike
Long Silence
CORDELIA
You know what Gunn – Cheese!
GUNN
Cheese?
CORDELIA
Life’s like cheese, sometimes it’s this melty, yellowy, gorgeous dairy goodness and sometimes it’s a stomach curdling, stinky, furry blue mess – but we all have different kinds of cheese at different times
(smile)
It may seem like you’re having blue furry cheese right now – but if you calm down and let me go then it’ll all be melty yellow goodness
GUNN
Keep on laughing little girl…you see all these cars?
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.
WILLOW
Okay – she’s in an old warehouse on the corner of Wiltshire
ANGEL
Wiltshire?
WILLOW
Boulevard – she’s not alone, he’s there and…
WESLEY
That’s Gunn’s old garage – he took me there once it’s where he stores his cars
CONNORS
Cars…like more than one?
WESLEY
What I don’t understand is why he’d take her there?
ANGEL
I know exactly why…
Foot down.
CUT TO.
EXT – WOLFRAM AND HART CARPARK
Spike is marching along like something from reservoir dogs as Fred and Lilah follow behind rolling their eyes
HARMONY
Wait for me!
LILAH
Why did we get her again?
FRED
Because Angel tried to stake her before they even got to the car
LILAH
That’s a bad thing?
HARMONY
Hey I said wait up…
LILAH
Would you die if I asked you to?
SPIKE
Y’know I’m starting to like this Lilah bird
LILAH
She’s stood right here
SPIKE
Sorry – must’ve been distracted by her.
They all turn as Gwen comes strutting towards them, slipping her gloves back up her arm
SPIKE
All clear
GWEN
Clear as the bump in your pants sweeties
Spike adjusts his jacket embarrassed
SPIKE
(cough)
Right let’s go then shall we?
LILAH
Security is definitely down?
GWEN
Nothing electrical is working in this wing
LILAH
Spike…stop kicking the door I have the key
Lilah steps up to the door and begins to unlock it
LILAH
I tell you if I get some rebound static from this you’re
(shock)
dead
All five of them look up in complete shock as they’re greeted by a less than fresh Knox, Lacey and Sirk – armed, veins, purple eyed and pissed.
CUT TO.
EXT – WAREHOUSE
Wesley’s car comes skidding round the corner – screeching in the mud as the three men climb out of it
GUNN
Took your time
He smiles widely as he tosses a match behind him. It lands in a small trail of oil which immediately ignites – leading back into the building
GUNN
Oops…tick tock Angel
END.
CO-STARRING
Jonathan M. Woodward as Knox
Mherl Smith as Lacey
