INT – ANOTHER BAR – NIGHT
LORNE
It’s perfect!
FRED
Lorne…
LORNE
No, really I love it, it’s fabulous
FRED
Lorne it’s Caritas
LORNE
So it is!
FRED
Lorne what aren’t you telling me?
LORNE
Okay okay enough of this constant interrogation, I confess I was just bored – I bought Caritas back a few weeks ago I just felt like getting out
FRED
My feet inflated eight sizes because you were bored?
LORNE
Maybe
FRED
I should throw heavy things at you right now
LORNE
But you, my dear, won’t
FRED
How can you be so sure?
LORNE
Because you’re happy for me! Admit it, you love it!
Fred frowns before letting out a little giggle
FRED
I do miss the place
(thinks)
Even though both times I was here I was attacked by big mobs
CUT TO.
INT – THE ZONE – DARKNESS
Wesley skims a corner as a ball of fire bursts towards him and crashes through a wall.
He rolls under as the ball comes back he raises his hand
WESLEY
Come on, come on
Wesley looks up impatiently trying to remember the spell
WESLEY
Es Glacier!
The ball freezes and crumbles as it’s about to make contact with him
WILLOW (V.O/ECHO)
Time for the next round
Wesley leaps to his feet and looks around a little startled
WESLEY
Willow?
The walls change in the room – they become space
WILLOW (V.O/ECHO)
Mental round
Long pause
WILLOW (V.O)
Oh, um that’s where I mess with your head a little
WESLEY
Thank you I wouldn’t have reached that conclusion alone
WILLOW (V.O)
Sorry
CUT TO.
INT – DINER – NIGHT
Dawn looks to her left, Connor across. They’re both staring at Spike who’s comfortably squeezed into the booth next to Dawn.
DAWN
Were you planning on not being here at any point?
SPIKE
(eating)
Nope
(thinks)
I have to pee
Spike gets up to leave, Connor grins across at Dawn
SPIKE
Come on
CONNOR
No way!
SPIKE
I think so
DAWN
Spike!
CONNOR
Hang on
(beat)
Are you doing this to be over protective or because your bored and annoying is fun?
SPIKE
Bit of both, mostly the second one
CONNOR
Go home.
SPIKE
Don’t wanna! Everyone’s shiftin’ boxes and stuff it’s bloody boring!
CONNOR
Then get a life
SPIKE
Excuse me, I have a life thank you I hit things and stuff
CONNOR
Spike get laid
Spike’s a little taken back by this as Connor and Dawn leave the booth
SPIKE
Hey you didn’t pay!
CUT TO.
EXT – LOS ANGELES STREET – NIGHT
Spike is walking along whistling as he physically crashes into Gunn
SPIKE
Well look what I found, If it ain’t Charlie Boy
GUNN
Spike
SPIKE
Thought you’d gone bye bye
GUNN
Wishful thinking?
SPIKE
Not really, least is when you’re around I got someone to drink with
GUNN
Nice to know I’m useful for something
Gunn begins walking off as Spike tags along
SPIKE
So, mate, what’s been plucking your strings?
CUT TO.
EXT – LOS ANGELES – NIGHT
Angel is walking along with his hands in his pockets as he whistles Mandy – Gwen walks round the corner and crashes into him
GWEN
Nice tunes
ANGEL
Gwen
GWEN
Please to see you too sugar, how about some of that?
ANGEL
How about no?
GWEN
How about you get yourself some humour to go with that dark cloud over your head
ANGEL
Where are you rushing too?
GWEN
Have you seen Gunn?
ANGEL
Not since he left town
GWEN
So naïve
ANGEL
What does that mean?
GWEN
(awkward beat)
I shouldn’t tell you but I don’t care I’m a professional liar – Gunn didn’t leave, he hit the streets for a couple of weeks and he’s been working with me for the past two weeks
ANGEL
Gunn’s a thief?
GWEN
Street fighter – investigator, doing the job Angel Investigations abandoned or “grew out of”
ANGEL
We didn’t grow out of anything
GWEN
So then tell me hero – when was the last time you saved a damsel in distress?
ANGEL
Tonight!
GWEN
In passing?
ANGEL
(crap)
No.
GWEN
Don’t take up acting and…are you sure it’s you who saved her? You’re sure she didn’t just dissapear?
ANGEL
Gwen don’t be smart, be yourself
GWEN
That’s cute champ, let’s just say I see a lot of things on the street a lot of…people.
ANGEL
Gwen…
GWEN
A lot of, or one particular former lawyers turned good guy – turned good guy in disguise – turned selfish guy – turned homeless guy
ANGEL
(through teeth)
Lindsey
GWEN
He’s a bastard I get it but he saved her not you so maybe he’s growing as a person or maybe he’s wanting to get laid who knows, who cares – can I go now?
ANGEL
No.
GWEN
Please sir, I did all my homework!
ANGEL
I wanna see him
GWEN
So that feeling I got from you was a fact…shame, you’d make some girl happy one day
ANGEL
Getting bored of it Gwen.
GWEN
(sigh)
Fine. Denzel’s gone walk about and I have time to kill until my next job let’s go
CUT TO.
INT – HYPERION – NIGHT
Dawn and Connor walk into the hotel as Heidi comes running up to Connor
HEIDI
Connor!
DAWN
Who’s this?
CONNOR
Heidi what’s wrong?
DAWN
It’s Heidi
HEIDI
Something’s happened to Lori
DAWN
Who’s Lori?
Connor runs off with Heidi into the backroom
DAWN
Hi. I’m Dawn the invisible girl!
INT – BACK ROOM – NIGHT
CONNOR
What happened?
HEIDI
She said some lady bit her
Connor throws a glare to Dawn who’s stood in the doorway
DAWN
I…I’ll call Spike
CUT TO.
INT – ZONE – NIGHT
Wesley is strapped down to a chair as Lilah, neck wound (from Cordelia not him) included
LILAH
Can you imagine if she died right now Wes? We’d be stuck here together for eternity – two lost souls locked in the darkness
(grins)
But hey we can’t have everything
WESLEY
Indeed we can’t
(looks up)
Not now, not ever – we’re through Lilah and that’s the simple fact we’re never going to see each other again and I need to accept that
LILAH
You sound so sure
WESLEY
I do accept that
LILAH
So, so sure – always were a thinker Wes
WESLEY
Go. Away.
LILAH
How about one last kiss?
Lilah walks over to Wesley and kisses him gently all over his neck
LILAH
What’s a flame if not eternal?
Lilah vanishes behind a wall of fire
Wesley, sweating from the flames is gasping for breath
CUT TO.
EXT – LOS ANGELES STREET – NIGHT
Spike and Gunn are sat on a wall eating as two girls go past
Spike watches them smiling menacingly, Gunn ignores them
SPIKE
Are you blind?
GUNN
What?
SPIKE
Did you happen to miss the extremely shaggable girls that just walked past?
GUNN
Wasn’t paying attention
SPIKE
Wasn’t paying…are you gay?
GUNN
What? No. I’m just not looking
SPIKE
(laughing)
Ah, Charlie’s got himself a bird ‘as ‘e?
GUNN
A Bird? I got a woman, yes
SPIKE
Right, that Gwen person?
GUNN
How’d you know?
SPIKE
Smell – it’s gotten worse but it’s still pretty above the average man
(beaT)
Kinda like the rest of me
GUNN
If you do say so yourself
Spike starts laughing – Gunn looks at him like he’s lost it
SPIKE
Phones vibratin’
Spike takes the phone out and flips it open
SPIKE
Talk to me
Spike frowns, rolls his eyes then jumps off the wall
SPIKE
Busy?
GUNN
Gotta find my…”bird”
SPIKE
Right. Bye
Spike runs off with a simple nod – leaving Gunn looking confused
CUT TO.
EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT
Gwen and Angel stick their heads round the corner, she shuffles him back
ANGEL
What’s he doing?
Angel looks out at Lindsey who’s warming his hands by a fire
ANGEL
What happened?
GWEN
Turns out that when you leave a company but live of connections for four years then you go back to them only to destroy them your less than trusting connections dry up on you – you have no income, lose the apartment, the car and just about everything else you can think of.
ANGEL
Destroyed himself
GWEN
Got it one…two
ANGEL
Should I talk to him?
GWEN
Why the hell are you asking me I’m just the hostage
ANGEL
You’re free to go
GWEN
Right because you could’ve stopped me anyway
ANGEL
Why are you not tormenting him after what he done to you and…having your personality?
GWEN
(grins)
I’m bigger than that – you’d be surprised.
ANGEL
What about Gunn?
GWEN
Definitely bigger than that
CUT TO.
INT – HYPERION – NIGHT
Spike comes running in the door as paramedics carry Lori out, Heidi goes with her
SPIKE
(breathless)
Okay, I’m here
DAWN
It’s okay
SPIKE
What’s okay?
DAWN
One of the girls got bitten…she’s okay now
SPIKE
So why did I have to run all the way across bloody Los Angeles to be told that?
CONNOR
She…there was a reason we…I think, Dawn?
DAWN
Beats me – I figured we’d need a fighter
CONNOR
Hello!
DAWN
Oh, you can see me now?
Dawn storms off with her arms folded Spike watches still breathless as Connor follows her
INT – OFFICE – NIGHT
CONNOR
What’s going on?
DAWN
I’d like to know myself
CONNOR
More
DAWN
I ran away from Buffy mid-something dangerous to see you and…I can’t do that all the time so I need to know what we are, I know when I left last time I tried to do that whole holiday romance thing but the truth is it’s been like a month or something and I’ve been going insane and I’d use pregnancy as an excuse to lock you to me forever but that would be wrong because I’m not pregnant and we didn’t sleep together that’s just how bad I want to be with you and now I’m just talking and talking and I can’t stop and it’s like…
Connor kisses Dawn.
DAWN
Stop shutting me up like that!
CONNOR
It works
SPIKE
Hate to break the little nest moment kiddies but I have a very pissed slayer on the phone and well, I can’t hear out of my right ear
DAWN
What did she say?
SPIKE
What?
CUT TO.
INT – THE ZONE – NIGHT
Wesley hurls a ball of fire through the chest of a demon as the wall dissolve and a very sweaty Willow is stood before him
WILLOW
Wow, that was…
WESLEY
Quite
WILLOW
I feel sort of…
WESLEY
Me too
WILLOW
Also kinda hot
WESLEY
Extremely actually
WILLOW
I really need to have more casual relationships
Wesley lets out a little laugh as he slides to the floor and rests his head again a crushed wall
WILLOW
You ready for the main zone yet?
WESLEY
There’s more
WILLOW
Heck yeah! The next one’s easy – more risky but easy sort of, if easy meant extremely difficult and life threatening
CUT TO.
EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT
Angel continues to watch Lindsey as Gunn begins to walk down the alley. He stops and back steps upon seeing Angel
Angel sniffs the air
ANGEL
Keep safe.
Angel turns his attention back to Lindsey who’s vanished – Angel starts to walk away to the road where a car very narrowly misses him. Angel stares up at the window as XANDER HARRIS gives an ‘oops’ look.
CUT TO.
EXT – WOLFRAM AND HART SITE – NIGHT
WILLOW
Listen okay I’m being all serious bookworm Willow now
WESLEY
Willow I’m ready
WILLOW
Okay well you know with my sorta not that great job and my big amounts of people to buy for? I can’t buy you a Christmas present this year
WESLEY
That’s the big thing?
WILLOW
Yes
WESLEY
Willow I’m sure that…
WILLOW
So I’m giving you one instead
WESLEY
I don’t understand
WILLOW
Okay, um, whatever darkness is coming – you’re connected we’ve established this from the crappy dreams and so you’re all trained up and stuff but hey didn’t graduate from the mystical combat school so not that qualified
Wesley gives her a “get to the point” look
WILLOW
Right, I’m doing a transferral
WESLEY
Willow you can’t possibly
WILLOW
No I can possibly I tried it, I mean, I didn’t try it but I read that it works and I can do it – I’m a Goddess remember
WESLEY
How could I forget
WILLOW
Shh…
(pause)
Take off your shirt
WESLEY
Willow I understand you were heated but…you’re a gay woman
WILLOW
I need to get as close to touching your heart as I can without cutting you open
WESLEY
Oh
CUT TO.
EXT – MANSION – NIGHT
Xander pulls up with Angel in his car both are clearly bickering as Xander almost crashes into the yellow cab
Angel slams the door shut as he jumps out of the car
ANGEL
Mrs. Wilton
WILTON
Angel darling! I’m so glad I didn’t miss you!
(Looks at Xander)
Is he the one? I was sure hoping you’d settle down that Spike’s not very good for you – he’s so little
ANGEL
What is with everyone tonight? It’s the pants isn’t it?
(pause)
Wait are you…where are you going?
WILTON
Cruise honey you need to listen
ANGEL
But without goodbye
WILTON
I’ve done by goodbyes – except for with Wesley and Willow, they’re…gone out apparently
ANGEL
Be sure to call me if you need anything okay?
WILTON
Oh dear
(laughs)
You bet I will
Wilton is about to step into the cab as Wilton grabs his arm
WILTON
I’ll make sure it’s at night though
She winks at him and gets in the car – Xander walks over as she drives off
XANDER
That your girlfriend?
ANGEL
No but apparently you’re my boyfriend
Angel walks inside leaving Xander looking more than confused
CUT TO.
EXT – ZONE – NIGHT
Willow is surrounded by a blinding red light, she’s shaking as she levitates horizontally over Wesley – her hand on his chest she screams as her eyes white out
END OF PART THREE
INT – MANSION – NIGHT
Dawn and Connor are sat down lookin up at Angel who is pacing the floor in front of them
ANGEL
The two of you are worse than if Spike had a child with Faith and raised in a jungle with…Gwen!
SPIKE
Hi! Standin’ right here
ANGEL
How did you hide an entire person from me for so long?
CONNOR
I’m your son
ANGEL
Don’t try and make me proud, proud is not a thing to try right now
XANDER
Dawn as a warning Buffy is pissed we’re talking holes in the wall, blunt axes from beating things so hard and you’re lucky I already dropped Giles off for business in the hills or you’d experience the wrath that is unsexed English man
Spike shifts awkwardly
SPIKE
(to himself)
God I’m Giles!
DAWN
We needed to talk things through
XANDER
Wow that’s the best excuse I’ve heard ever – if you’re someone who was born before phones, e-mail, pages and fax were invented
SPIKE
Pigeons, don’t forget pigeons
XANDER
Pigeons were never invented
SPIKE
But…
(thinks)
I have nowhere to take that. I’m goin’ for a smoke, Dawn, Connor?
ANGEL/XANDER
Spike!
SPIKE
Kiddin’!
(to himself)
Guess I’m not the only one who needs a shag around ‘ere
XANDER
Dawn say goodbye to the little boy toy
ANGEL
Hey that’s my Son!
XANDER
That’s angry time-of-the-month super slayer Buffy’s sister – who would you rather looks bad in this, you or Connor?
ANGEL
Dawn get in the car and leave the boy toy alone
CONNOR
Hey!
DAWN
Connor remember the plan
Dawn smiles at Connor and walks off, lightly kicking Xander as she passes him
XANDER
Hey I’m just the messenger
Connor passes Angel the single hardest stare in all existence before storming upstairs
ANGEL
2…3…
His door slams behind him.
XANDER
I’d like to say it was nice catching up with you but seeing as we didn’t and it wasn’t, I won’t.
ANGEL
Say hey to Buffy and Faith
XANDER
Okay, I’ll let you off the telephone thing with being like 800 or something
ANGEL
251!
XANDER
Really?
CUT TO.
INT – ANGELS OFFICE – NIGHT
Angel is sat in his old mansion office with boxes piled up around him, he looks into nothingness, deep in though about his life – he reaches into the drawer and pulls out a phone book – flicking the page over to “Properties” he scrolls his finger down to “Office space” and grabs the phone.
CUT TO.
EXT – WH SITE – NIGHT
Willows eyes a burning white as her body appears to be entirely red – Wesley takes a deep gasp as she cloudy magic around her begins to funnel in through his mouth and flow from her veins, through her skin and seep through the skin of his chest into his heart – his veins illuminating as the magic settles in
Willow tumbles to the ground gasping for breath, Wesley does the same
WESLEY
Bring it on
Wesley lays back all giggly like he’s high
