Act 2
CUT TO:
Everyone is in the room. Spike and Connor are playing cards and Willow, Fred, and Tibby seem to be researching. Lorne’s on the phone and Angel walks in from his main office.
ANGELl
Ok so what do we know so far?
SPIKE
Besides the fact that you’re a wanker?
ANGEL
Spike!
SPIKE
Only speaking the bloody truth, and it hurts don’t it.
LORNE
This is getting us nowhere
ANGEL
Right, we need to decide what to do with Wes
SPIKE
How about a stake? They seem to work really well. Here I’ll show you. Angel, come here.
FRED
Spike!
TIBBY
Given if we have enough time we can create a cure for his condition.
SPIKE
His condition is he’s a bleeding vampire. I say we stake him and cut our losses before someone dies.
ANGEL
It’s not that easy
SPIKE
Well give me a stake and I’ll show you how easy it is.
WILLOW
Guys, this fighting thing isn’t helping.
ANGEL
She’s right, Spike. You! Me!
Angel points to his office.
There. Now!
SPIKE
Fine
Spike and Angel go into his office.
ANGEL
What’s your problem?
SPIKE
My problem? Right now I don’t have one
ANGEL
Why the attitude then?
SPIKE
Why not?
ANGEL
Because it’s not like you, you changed.
SPIKE
Well, for one, what if I became Mr. Fangy again?
Angel has a blank look on his face
SPIKE
Ok, if I got my bite back. I know you, Angel. I know you wouldn’t hesitate to stake me. As bad as I was and all the things we did.
You wouldn’t hesitate to do it. Yet with Wes you seem to see it as a last resort.
ANGEL
First off, we didn’t do any of that. It was Angelus that did that.
SPIKE
No it was us. Angelus just made us not have to feel the consequences for doing it. Same with my bloody demon. But guess that wouldn’t matter
ANGEL
What are you getting at, Spike?
SPIKE
All I know is if that if it was me, I wouldn’t have got out of the grave before you would’ve plunged a nice pointy into my loving heart.
ANGEL
Are you jealous that I’m not going after Wes?
SPIKE
No, I’m mad because no matter how much bloody good I do, the minute a good guy goes bad you try to save him. But the moment if I ever go bad you’d all go after me. Hell you’d call Buffy here so she could have her turn with me.
ANGEL
So that’s what has you in this mood?
SPIKE
That and Willow ate my donut.
ANGEL
I’m sure she didn’t mean to
SPIKE
She thinks just cause she’s some kind of goddess everything belongs to her.
CUT TO:
AI, Main office Spike and Angel walk out as Spike goes straight out the door. Angel just sighs and looks to Connor.
ANGEL
Go and make sure he doesn’t kill Wes.
Connor just gets up runs over grabbing his coat and walks off.
ANGEL
So what are we going to do?
The gang almost seemed slipped up on the ideas of what to do with Wesley.
CUT TO:
INT. Angel Investigation, Angel, Willow, Tibby, Fred and Lorne are sitting and looking over books. (Next day)
The doors burst open and Angel looks up to see a vampire. Who is clearly on fire.
VAMPIRE
Angel come tonight alone.
You’ll see a fire above, below while I send you and yours all to hell
The vampire turns to dust, as the last line is mutter and Angel just stares at the others before getting up and going over to his office.
INT. AI, Angel’s office. Lindsey seems to be hard at work studying.
ANGEL
What are you doing here?
LINDSEY
Looking up stuff…
ANGEL
Well that’s really helpful
LINDSEY
If you came in here to bother me I’m going to have to ask you to leave
ANGEL
This is my office
LINDSEY
You asked for my help
ANGEL
Fine, I’ll be out there if you need anything.
LINDSEY
Maybe some coffee
Angel steps out side he has a sort of shocked looked on his face.
ANGEL (to himself)
If this was any other day I’d say that was weird
TIBBY
What’s wrong?
ANGEL
I went from leader of AI to a minor secretary
FRED
Huh
WILLOW
What!
LORNE (to himself)
Well now you know how I feel.
TIBBY
Well what are you going to do?
ANGEL
You get Lindsey some coffee and me some Blood.
FRED
So what are we going to do?
ANGEL
Well, it’s going to happen when it happens, but now we can’t go worrying about it.
TIBBY
How can we not worry?
FRED
We have to come up with a cure
ANGEL
We will but don’t worry about it. That will get us nowhere
TIBBY
Maybe if we check those books in the kitchen?
FRED
Yeah that’ll work
Fred and Tibby walk off into the kitchen getting the books Angel just looks at them
ANGEL (To himself)
Guess I’m not getting that coffee
CUT TO:
Angel Investigation, Kitchen. Tibby, Fred and Willow are there.
TIBBY
There’s nothing here.
FRED
Sure there is. It’s just we don’t want to know how to turn a person into a frog
WILLOW
Frogs
Willow cringes and the others notices
TIBBY
You’re afraid of frogs?
FRED
She can’t be, she’s a witch.
WILLOW
Hey.
FRED
Sorry, meant that as in a witch in magical aspect.
WILLOW
Oh.
TIBBY
So are you or aren’t you?
WILLOW
Am I what?
TIBBY
You know
WILLOW
For the last time, sure I like girls but I don’t look at you gals like that.
TIBBY
Oh no, we meant are you afraid of frogs.
WILLOW
Does it matter?
Fred goes over to the fridge and opens it
FRED
We’re out of food
TIBBY
Well maybe we could get some Chinese food?
WILLOW
Oh and fortune cookies a big plus.
FRED
I’ll go get the number
CUT TO:
Just then Tibby comes in. Angel has now circled around his desk and now is sitting in the chair behind it. Lindsey has disappeared once again.
TIBBY
We decided.
ANGEL
What to do with Wes?
TIBBY
No for dinner we want Chinese food.
ANGEL
Oh and why am I involved in this?
TIBBY
Because, I was wondering if you need blood?
ANGEL
No I’m fine
TIBBY
Oh and one more thing Angel. I won’t let you kill Wes.
ANGEL
I know you have feelings for him, but I don’t think you can stop me.
TIBBY
It’s all her fault.
ANGEL
Who?
TIBBY
That bitch that he has been hanging out with.
ANGEL
Oh don’t worry we’ll get Lilah and this time her card’s up.
End of Act 2
Act 3
CUT TO:
Alley way. Tibby and Willow are walking down it with Chinese food in their hands.
CUT TO:
Spike and Connor are walking down an alley, it looks to be a dirty one but awfully familiar.
CUT TO:
Angel sets out of the door of the new Angel investigations. He has his coat on and is walking away.
CUT TO:
Wesley’s hideout. There is a massive army assembled. Wes seems to be giving out directions to the vampires and demons that are there.
The vampires and demons run out into the night as if there are hunting for something.
CUT TO:
The Angel Investigation, Fred is sitting at a chair looking over some books. The door opens.
FRED
Back so soon? Good, cause I’m famished.
Fred jumps up from her chair
CUT TO:
Willow and Tibby come to the end of an alley. After they take a few steps, they are surrounded in a semi-circle. Mainly vampires are around them and Tibby drops the food, looks at Willow.
CUT TO:
Angel come walking slowly looking at the fence and looking around. He doesn't seem to be his normal everyday brooding self. He seems to be all business. Angel raises his foot and kicks the fence part that has a lock on it off the hinges as it goes flying. He looks around and takes a step inside as he continues at a slow pace observing everything checking carefully for a trap. After he gets about 20 steps in, he stops.
ANGEL
Wes...
With that the camera zooms out and looks over to the new built up building. There a small cigarette flicks and hits the beam bar that running across and fire starts. Angel quickly catches it and follows as the fire goes down a long beam over to a platform. It then makes a square then goes down and spells "Welcome Angel". On the cloth on the side on a sheet it looks like blood and it says. "Come one, come all". Angel doesn't look amused at all, but he sighs and walks down some more ever vigilant.
CUT TO:
EXT. NEW BUILDING SITE, ROOF AT THE TOP THERE'S WESLEY LOOKING DOWN AT ANGEL WITH AN EVIL SMILE ON HIS FACE IN A NOT SO SMUG SORT OF WAY. -- CONTINUOUS
WES (Shouting and Echoing everywhere)
Do come and play, Angel, it's just starting to get fun... Your sweet release is coming soon, but not in the love making way.
Angel catches some movement out of the corner of his eye and runs towards it. He jumps over one of the flaming trash can only to see a fledgling vampire there. The fledgling caught by surprise doesn't get a punch off before Angel has the fledge by the throat and holding his head over one of the trash can's.
ANGEL
Where is he?
VAMPIRE
I don't know, he just said that I should be done here and kill anyone that comes here
ANGEL
Lying. You know where he is
VAMPIRE
I know, but even if I do tell the truth I'm still going to die. So what's the point in helping the enemy out? Besides you’re late.
ANGEL
I'm late.
With that a match hit's another beam and goes over and lights what looks to be another stage. Only the whole stage goes up on fire. Over it however is a group of people (each having a name of the fang gang attached to them) there hung, but if you look carefully you can see that Angel isn't in the group. Angel just growls and shoves the fledgling vampire into the burning trash.
ANGEL
Wes enough with these games... It's time to end this.
WES
You're going to kill such an old friend so quick? Guess this has nothing to do with kidnapping Connor. Has nothing to do with anything.
Angel takes a few steps towards where he thinks the voices are coming from.
ANGEL
Wes this isn't funny, we don't want to hurt you. We just want to help and make you better again.
WES
You mean you don't want me to be stronger then you Angel. You do that to everyone you don't want anyone to be your equal. Oh poor Angel, I have a soul. Well guess what you're a wimp for wanting a soul. Why would you want one of those things? They make you weak.
Angel takes a few more steps and come up upon a door. With a quick breathe he kicks the door and it fly's off the hinges. Angel looks in the room for a second before taking a step in.
ANGEL
If your messing with my mind then it's not working.
The room is pretty much empty it was used as a office but as the camera pans over to the left to show a guys head inside the water cooler. The water is blood red and Angel has a shocked look on his face.
WES
I'm speaking the truth. Don't you understand? That everyone that has every tried to be you're equal you smack down. Spike had a soul but no you had to put him down. Buffy who has proven she's better with you so much it's sickening that you keep away from her.
ANGEL
Ok, Wes this is really getting old. I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you.
There you see Angel turn around and walks out he looks up at the sky as if to ask for help only to see 2 yellow eyes and a red dot looking down at him
WES
Took you enough time to find me, but I guess you were just trying to come up with a story. You know that you could tell the others so that they see what a great "champion" or "hero" you are. That's the thing though, your not either of the above your a coward.
Angel growls as he goes over to the building and begins to scale it. Slowly at first but he picks up the words until he's finally at the top. He looks around Wesley is standing finishing another cigarette. As Angel carefully makes his way, there's not really a top where he's out there's a lot of boards connecting to what looks like a small platform that Wes is standing on. Angel as he approaches.
ANGEL
This it? All the games are done? Nothing left to bum rush me?
WES
Oh, how the weak will fall. See Angel I know your a coward. I know you fear anyone whose better then you like Spike, Buffy, Willow all of them even me are above you. Because unlike you, we don't lie to others or our self about what we are.
With that said Wes takes a final drag of this cigarette and flicks it over by the edge. It hits a pool of gasoline, lighting the platform (shaped in a circle) on fire, Angel and Wes are in the center, but Angel's eye's follow as he see the fire go on all the beams. The fire descends downward until it goes to the floor lighting up a little bit a pit with a lot of sharp sticks at the bottom. Under Angel and Wes.
WES
See, unlike you. I embraced the power that demon gave me. But unlike you I've came to the conclusion that no matter what we do. You're never going to change. I'm a monster, you're a monster. I at least don't try to hide mine. So you got you a nice shinny soul. You didn't earn it like Spike. You did nothing, but bitch and whine. This stops tonight however, either way for me. Because I will either kill or be killed.
ANGEL
How much time's do I have to tell you I don't want to kill you. I want to help you.
WES (intrigued)
How are you going to help me? Cursing me with a soul? Staking me and putting me out of my misery. There's no helping some people Angel. I happen to be one of those people now. However as a personal favor from me to you I'll do one thing.
ANGEL
What's that?
WES
Kill you quick.
CUT TO:
Willow and Tibby still surrounded, Willow eye’s flash black as she begins to chant. Something green comes out of her hands and the vampires don’t know what to do with it. It swirls around the group, lifting them into the air, (everyone but Willow and Tibby) and the vampires and demons look at each other in puzzlement. Willow says another few lines and with a big bang all the demons turn into light, then the vampires turn to dust. It all swivels into a small little brown ball that floats down to the sidewalk in an empty patch of dirt and turns into a baby tree.
