INT –WHITE ROOM/ILLUSION ROOM
Lilah is stood in her office at Wolfram & Hart
LILAH
This is…
She scurries to hide as the door opens, her former self and one of the higher partners enters. She sits and shakes his hand
Lilah (real Lilah) looks on before closing her eyes in shame as the other Lilah grins and signs a contract.
FADE TO WHITE.
Harmony is stood in a white room as a small gust of wind flows through
HARMONY
Where the hell am I?
She looks around the empty, airy space as Unicorn steps out in front of her
HARMONY
Okay, freaky
(smiles)
But pretty
FADE TO WHITE.
Harmony is stood in the exact same spot only the Unicorn is no longer there – she’s back in the white room. Everyone is still huddled in corners as Spike arrives.
HARMONY
What are you doing here you big leave-alone-er
SPIKE
Came to save your ass
HARMONY
Kiss it Spike it doesn’t need saving!
SPIKE
Right, so then tell me, why is everyone shaking in corners?
HARMONY
Do I look like a dictionary Spike?
SPIKE
(what?)
Harmony
HARMONY
Look, I don’t know okay – One minute Gwen’s all throwing her hands in the air and Fred’s saying she’s not a cow, then I’m in this empty and windy room with a big unicorn
SPIKE
Don’t s’pose you ere in your own minds were you?
HARMONY
What?
SPIKE
It’d explain why you left the tour so damn early
HARMONY
Whatever Spike, you know I’m sick of
(pause)
Is that a goat behind you?
Spike turns to see a small ram plodding toward him.
SPIKE
Bit worse I’m afraid
CUT TO.
INT – A ROOM
Angel steps out of the elevator into almost complete darkness
VOICE
Why do you come here vampire?
ANGEL
You know why!
VOICE
We know all
ANGEL
Then you know that you’re getting predictable enough for me to know that I’m exactly where you want me to be
VOICE
It’s your down fall
ANGEL
Knowing stuff?
VOICE
Assuming that it’s always about you
CUT TO.
INT – MANSION
Connor is sat in the main room with Cordelia – both are in silence
CORDELIA
I remember you know?
CONNOR
I was wondering when that would come up
CORDELIA
You were?
CONNOR
Yeah I think it’s best that we don’t talk about it
CORDELIA
Ya think? But it’s a good thing though
CONNOR
That we slept together?
CORDELIA
(alarmed)
No! That is way repressed in the land of never-to-be-thought-or spoken of ever
(beat)
I remember, before Jasmine – you were there for me
Connor looks at the ground sadly as Willow and Wesley burst into the room
WILLOW
Wesley I trust you
WESLEY
What if I do it wrong?
WILLOW
You wont! And Besides I really gotta pee
CORDELIA
Is this a sex thing?
WILLOW
Wesley won’t take over the spell
CORDELIA
We’ll get Groo to do it
WESLEY
NO! no it’s fine I’ll do it
CORDELIA
Easy when you know how
WILLOW
Pee
Willow exits the room hastily, Connor follows immediately
CONNOR
Willow…
WILLOW
Ah…quick
CONNOR
I need you to do something for me
WILLOW
Is it going to the bathroom? Cause that, I can do
CONNOR
Go.
WILLOW
Thank you!
Two minutes later
Willow exits the bathroom to find Connor standing by the door
WILLOW
Oh, Hey you’re very much still here!
CONNOR
I need a spell
WILLOW
More spells? I should have a quota!
CUT TO.
INT – WHITE ROOM
HARMONY
Spike I don’t care about the stupid goat, there’s a big dog drooling at me
SPIKE
It’s a wolf!
HARMONY
A wolf?! Will it eat me?
SPIKE
Not if it’s got taste
HARMONY
Oh. My. God.
SPIKE
Now what?
HARMONY
Blood!
Harmony excitedly skips over and lifts a still beating heart from the floor
SPIKE
Do not do what I reckon you’re gonna do
But too late, her teeth are well into it
SPIKE
That’s disgusting
HARMONY
Oh please! Like you didn’t in my position
CUT TO.
INT – THE DARK ROOM
ANGEL
Tell me what I need to know
VOICE
You’re asking the wrong questions
ANGEL
How do I get Gunn back?
VOICE
Gunn is no longer
ANGEL
He’s not dead, yet, and he won’t be
VOICE
He’s dead to you
ANGEL
No he’s not!
CUT TO.
INT – WILTONS BASEMENT
Willow sits at the centre of a circle of red sand, Connor stands on the outside
WILLOW
One more time…for safety
CONNOR
(rolls eyes)
I, Connor do declare that I want Willow to reverse the mind spell completely. To stop, stopping the unravelling and encourage it’s course…
WILLOW
And…
CONNOR
I can not get pissed if there’s my hair ends up spiky and on fire
WILLOW
Okay, I think we’re ready…
CONNOR
Wait
Connor pulls out his cell phone and hits the speed dial “home”
CONNOR
It’s Connor
(pause)
Tell Dad and the kid, I love them
MOM (O.S)
Connor what’s wrong
CONNOR
I love you Mom
He hangs up the phone
WILLOW
You sure…completely?
CONNOR
They’re good people, they shouldn’t live a fake life
Willow passes a sympathetic smile before holding onto his hands and closing her eyes
EXT – WILTONS MANSION
Wesley stands with Cordelia and Groo on the porch as the skies begin to swirl, a dark shimmer flashes like a sheet of lightning as they roar and tumble in a rage.
INT – WILTONS BASEMENT
Willow’s eyes are jet black, a piercing white streak blinds the front of her hair. She gasps in as we flash around everyone (Cordelia, Wesley, Groo, Connor) their eyes blink as if something is restored.
EXT – WILTONS MANSION
The skies return to their normal state.
CORDELIA
Okay then.
CUT TO.
INT – WHITE ROOM –
Spike stares as Harmony throws the pale and bloodless heart to the floor, both animals flicker and fade away
SPIKE
What the…
As do Harmony, Lilah, Gwen, Fred, Spike and Harmony.
INT – THE DARK ROOM
Angel covers his eyes as a flash of light shimmers through the room revealing the ram and the wolf, both circle him – their jaws remain still however they speak for the partners.
WOLF
Why are you still here?
ANGEL
I’m not leaving until I have answers
RAM
I believe you’ve found those answers from Ms. Morgan
ANGEL
I don’t buy it, I don’t buy that I just have to wear him out
WOLF
How can you buy when we’re not selling – it’s a free gift. A Thank you for your time with us
ANGEL
What’s the catch?
RAM
Why must you look for the dark side to all that is grey?
(beat)
Even after his powers are gone – are you so sure he’ll be one of your own?
ANGEL
He’s always one of us
WOLF
What about the contract?
ANGEL
What about it?
WOLF
He, like Ms. Morgan, belongs to us now – he goes where we want, when we want him to.
CUT TO.
EXT – WAREHOUSE
Gunn erupts from the flames, tall and strong as ever – a thick, jet black venomous blood drips from his mouth.
He steps over to the crumbled car that Willow was in and kneels down, wiping his finger along the jagged glass.
He pulls his finger up and sniffs the blood, smiling instantly. Like a flash of light he’s gone with superman speed he jets down the long road.
CUT TO.
INT – WILTONS MANSION
Everyone is gathered in the living room looking deep in thought
WESLEY
I remember everything, all of it
CORDELIA
I slept with my best friends son when he was twelve months old
Willow passes a disturbed look to Cordelia
CORDELIA
In earth years
Again the silence is disturbed as Spike, Harmony, Lilah, Fred and Gwen (the last three of which are passed out) appear in the room in a flash.
WESLEY
What happened?
HARMONY
I saved us!
CORDELIA
Harm
SPIKE
S’true
WILLOW
What?
SPIKE
She ate a heart and here we are
WESLEY
Who’s heart?
SPIKE
Random, some goat thing was kickin’ about the floor
WESLEY
Goat
SPIKE
Ram, whatever
WESLEY
She ate THAT heart?
SPIKE
Yeah…
WESLEY
(grinning)
I have a feeling that Harmony may have just started the ultimate downfall of Wolfram & Hart
(O.S) GUNN
Think again!
END OF PART THREE
INT – WILTONS MANSION
Gunn remains in the doorway as Spike lunges at him, he’s immediately thrown across the room.
Harmony comes at him from behind (she snuck through the kitchen) and leaps on his back – playing the hero now. She has him struggling for a moment before being flung through the staircase and shattering it.
She lands hard as a piece of jagged wood goes straight through her
Stomach.
WILLOW
Resente!
GUNN
You’re magic couldn’t hide this place long enough
Willow throws Wesley a look
WESLEY
I sneezed!
GUNN
You think it can hold me now?
Willow stares at him hard as a shield (see ‘ShowTime’ BtVS) gathers in front of her
Cordelia and Wesley pull Fred and Gwen away as Connor heads in for the attack.
CUT TO.
INT – DARK ROOM
ANGEL
Why is there only two of you here?
WOLF
(harsh stare)
ANGEL
It’s gone isn’t it? The heart? The foundation…
(pause – looks up as if reaching to someone)
Thanks guys
***flashback***
Earlier that day
ANGEL
I need to get something from my room and see an old friend
Angel leaves the others and heads to his room – he walks over to the refrigerator and pulls out a sachet of blood.
***now***
Angel reaches to his inner breast pocket and pulls the blood out – he tears it open as the wolf begins to growl, ready to pounce – Angel flicks a dash of the blood at the floor, the wolf laps it up immediately and stretches for more.
Angel tears it open completely and pours the blood over the ram – he smiles content as the wolf leaps at the ram, tearing at it wildly.
ANGEL
Don’t ever tell me you’re not predictable
VOICE
You haven’t won Angel
ANGEL
We’ll see
VOICE
They still belong to us and they won’t be free until we say so
ANGEL
You think those contracts are good now that you’re out of business?
VOICE
You think ending the battle will end the war? Think again Angel!
Angel steps over to the elevator
VOICE
You haven’t seen anything yet!
Angel is still proud as the elevator doors close.
CUT TO.
INT – WILTONS MANSION
Connor takes another leap at Gunn, it’s evident they’ve been fighting for some time – Connor is worn down as Gunn takes one final blow.
Connor is flung across the room like a Frisbee as he folds down to the floor, unconscious and bloody.
GUNN
Who’s next?
Gunn scans the now empty room and sees that Lilah is still lying behind the chair – he strolls over to her and grabs her by the throat
GUNN
Show time
Or not. Gunn and Lilah both fade out of the scene.
VOICE OVER: They belong to us
CUT TO.
EXT – WILTONS MANSION
Angel skids up the driveway and leaps from the car, flinging himself through the door – the first person he sees is Harmony who he immediately heads over to until he spots Connor across the hall.
Angel dashes over to him and cradles his head in his hands.
ANGEL
Connor?
CORDELIA (O.S)
He’s alive Angel…
ANGEL
What happened?
CORDELIA
What do you think?
ANGEL
Gunn.
CORDELIA
He was just here – he disappeared…
ANGEL
He ran away
CORDELIA
I don’t think so
ANGEL
(thinks)
They called him back. They own him
CORDELIA
Own him like Ms. Wilton owns this place and is gonna kill us?
ANGEL
Where’s Spike?
(beat)
I need to get Connor to a bed, help Harmony
WILLOW (O.S)
Guys…where’d Lilah go?
CUT TO.
INT – DARK ROOM
Lilah rouses to complete darkness – she looks around her confused as the Wolf lays smiling by the dead Ram.
VOICE
Ms. Morgan – Sorry I didn’t book you an appointment.
(pause)
But this meeting is an urgent one
