EXT – WELL OF SOULS – NIGHT
Angel is slowly wondering across the grounds thinking about how it’s all got to this point, it’s not even a threat to the end of the world yet somehow, to him, it feels like the end.
Sure, he’s fond of Faith, Fred, Lorne, Gunn – all of them but Wesley and Cordelia were his only true friends and now they’re gone.
He comes to the well, looking down into it – thousands, possibly millions of misty souls writhe around inside
ANGEL
Show time
Angel pulls the key out of his pocket and looks for a place to put it…
ANGEL
Weird
He looks around more – nothing. Suddenly the key lets out a burst of light which surrounds him and pulls him into the well
CUT TO.
INT – HOSPITAL – NIGHT
Faith and Lorne are holding the door closed as the Vampire-Slayers are fighting from the other side
LORNE
I don’t get it! Shouldn’t their powers be gone when they die?
FAITH
Two years ago sure – not anymore. Girl dies her powers just go, there’s nobody to take them
LORNE
That’s great – super strength girls with super strength
FAITH
It might be the fact this doors about to fall on me but that made no sense
CUT TO.
EXT – GRAVEYARD – NIGHT
Dozen’s of vampires fill the land, all lines in profile as Drusilla stands before them.
DRUSILLA
Rise and shine my pretties it’s time to play a little…
(concerned)
Grand Mummy
The sky is still roaring as lightning bashes around the city – Connor, Spike, Willow and Lindsey are walking with the three remaining slayers down the alley as a massive bolt of lightning smashes into the floor creating a small crater.
Everyone is thrown to the floor, staring back as the whole as a blinding white light beams from it’s heart – a figure rises from the centre
LINDSEY
My god…
SPIKE
Bloody hell!
CONNOR
…Mom?
FADE TO BLACK
INT – WELL OF SOULS – NIGHT
Angel reforms in the centre of a battered underground cave – water dripping down the walls, complete darkness all around
ANGEL
Nice décor
WESLEY
Isn’t is just
Wesley materialises in front of Angel
WESLEY
Didn’t really doubt that you would
ANGEL
You think we could save the talk for your eulogy?
WESLEY
Ah, so you’ve finally decided that you’re going to kill me
ANGEL
I’ll win if I want to win
WESLEY
Right, because you don’t believe in destiny
ANGEL
I believe in what’s meant to be
WESLEY
Let’s do this then shall we?
ANGEL
Ready when you are
The pair of them walk over to a wall and slide the daggers in, a small door forms and Angel pulls out a large old coin
ANGEL
Heads or tails?
WESLEY
You’re call
Angel tosses the coin into the air and turns it over on his hand
ANGEL
I call heads
Angel reveals the coin
WESLEY
Tails
Wesley places the coin back in the hole it disappears and is replaced by the cup of Shanshu – Wesley takes the first drink from it as two swords appear
WESLEY
Weapon of choice
He pulls both out and tosses one to Angel
WESLEY
On Guard
CUT TO.
EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT
Darla is stood, drowned in light as Connor steps up to her
CONNOR
How…this is one of his tricks
DARLA
No, Connor it’s me
Darla strokes her hand down his face
DARLA
The powers have sent me – they’ve seen the path and I need to be here for this
LINDSEY
I guess it makes sense being the battle is all centred around the line of Aurelius
DARLA
We have to win this battle – if Wesley gets the Shanshu, with the dark soul – he’ll become invincible, not human.
CONNOR
There’s an army coming
DARLA
Then I’ll fight, right by your side
The light around Darla finally dims as she takes Connor’s hand
DARLA
Lead the way
CUT TO.
INT – WELL OF SOULS – NIGHT
Angel and Wesley are circling each other with their swords in the air
WESLEY
What’s the matter Angel, can’t take the…
Wesley is cut off along with his hand, blood spurts everywhere before he bursts into laughter
WESLEY
What is it with you and the removal of hands?
Wesley raises the bloody stump as another hand grows back through – his eyes are dark as it gets
WESLEY
Idiot.
CUT TO.
EXT – GRAVEYARD – NIGHT
Connor, Spike, Darla, Willow, Lindsey and Kayla all arrive as the army readies itself
SPIKE
Let’s party
They all spread out into the crowd as the battle ensues
Drusilla grabs Connor by the throat and hurls him head first into a tomb, he’s knocked out on the floor
DRUSILLA
It’s so beautiful
DARLA
At least you own something that has that title
Dru spins round to see Darla
DARLA
Never touch my son again
Darla smacks Drusila into the floor, leaping straight back on top of her and pretty much repeatedly smashing her head into the floor
DRUSILLA
Grand Mummy!
DARLA
Shut up Dru
Darla boots her in the face
Spike launches off of a gravestone and kicks one of the slayer-vampires in the face as hard as he possibly can.
Willow tosses a stake into the air and throws up a bolt of electricity splintering it and shooting it into five of the vampires.
CUT TO.
INT – WELL OF SOULS
Angel flips over the top of Wesley and kicks him in the back before Wes grabs Angel by the arm and slams him face first into one of the cave walls
Angels mouth is spurting blood as Wesley snatches his sword from him and snaps it across his knee
WESLEY
What’s the matter champion…Too tired to go on?
Angel struggles to his knees and so the speech begins
ANGEL
Wes I know you’re in there – listen to me
WESLEY
You really think this is going to work?
ANGEL
Please, part of you knows that I have to win this – I don’t care about being human but this beast has to be stopped
WESLEY
Do shut up
Wesley swings the sword around and stabs it directly through Angel’s chest
In pain, Angel falls to the floor as the bloody blade is twisted out of him
CUT TO.
EXT – GRAVE YARD – NIGHT
DARLA
I never did understand why Angelus chose you!
Darla spins and kicks Drusilla in the face
FLASH TO WHITE
November 2001
Darla is in a bright white room – the oracles stand before her
ORACLE FEMALE
Darla
ORACLE MALE
You times have passed
ORACLE FEMALE
Yet we
ORACLE MALE
Feel that you deserve a greater justice for your deliverance

FLASH BACK TO.
INT – WELL OF SOULS – NIGHT
Wesley is stood over a bloody Angel, kicking him the chest
WESLEY
Why not fall on a stake Angelus – you have nothing to live for
*BLEND WITH…(*
Drusilla is about to scratch her nails across Darla’s neck as she crumbles to dust to reveal Connor who reaches his hand out to Darla
ANGEL (V.O)
Yes I do.
Angel stand and smacks Wesley hard as he can in the face, knocking him back flat to the floor
ANGEL
I have everything to live for
CUT TO.

The slayers have broken into the room – Faith immediately stakes one of them before kicking another across the room into Lorne who screams in their ear before Faith tosses a serving tray through the air and beheads them
CUT TO.
INT – ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS – NIGHT
Lilah is sat across from Fred who keeps looking up from her book suspiciously
FRED
Do you want something?
LILAH
A coffee would be nice
FRED
Get it yourself
LILAH
What are you reading?
FRED
A billboard. What does it look like?
LILAH
I mean what’s the content?
FRED
About the battle of shanshu – something about the champion and how…
FLASH TO WHITE
INT – ANGELS OFFICE – HOURS EARLIER
LINDSEY
Just saying – don’t listen to destiny this time. If you want to win that fight, if you need to win it, then you will
He taps his hand on the table, leaving a note behind
Lindsey walks out of the office leaving Angel all alone and thoughtful
Angel pulls the paper over to him self
‘The Office has Microphones so here’s the deal – Let him win. Trust Me’
CUT TO.
INT – WELL OF SOULS – NIGHT
Angel is back on the floor, black and blue as Wesley beats him continuously
Wesley squats over Angel and stabs his finger into one of his wounds as Angel writhes in pain
WESLEY
What was that you said earlier? “If I need to win, I will”…I guess you don’t need this that much
From nowhere comes a blinding light as both Angel and Wesley are flung against walls and tied their by invisible force fields
The Oracles step out of the light
ANGEL/WESLEY
What the…
ORACLE MALE
Angel
ORACLE FEMALE
Wesley
BOTH
Your destiny’s are complete and the paths have forked – you both existed for this moment to bring every person you’ve encountered to where they are now. The true champion is revealed, he has won – the true champion is…
CUT TO.
EXT – GRAVEYARD – NIGHT
Drusillas ashes lift and swirl in the air as Darla bursts into flames before crumbling to dust – all of the vampires burst into dust
END OF PART THREE
INT – HOSPITAL – DAY
Silence fills the room
FRED
I can’t believe we got him back
FAITH
It’s amazing isn’t it
Darla and Connor walk out from behind a curtain
DARLA
He can see you now
They both walk out to see Angel lying in a bed
DARLA
He’s just resting
They smile over him as the life support machine continues to beep, Angel is breathing heavily
FLASH TO WHITE

…Angel
ORACLE MALE
We offer you the gift of life
ORACLE FEMALE
A gift you have waited for so long is now yours
The Oracles raise their hands and build a light
ANGEL
Wait!
ORACLES
You don’t want your reward?
ANGEL
No!
(sad)
Give it to him
Angel looks at Wesley
ANGEL
Give it to all of them – forget about me and give their lives back to them. Everyone I’ve ever killed, everyone any of Aurelius has sired that is still alive, Anyone who’s ever been taken away or had their lives ruined through association with me – through coming into my destiny – help them all, cleanse them all, make them feel real life
CUT TO.
EXT – GRAVE YARD – NIGHT
Connor, Spike, Lindsey and Willow stand in amazement as the ashes of dozens spin into the form of humans as several children, slayers, Darla and Drusilla drop to the floor gasping for breathe
Drusilla looks confused yet sane, Darla smiles as she holds her hand over her beating heart
DARLA
He did it
ORACLE (V.O)

Just a few months
He smiles and kisses her on the cheek
