INT – MANOR – DAY

CARIDAD
You’re her!

GLORY
Looks like it’s hit the fan for you

CARIDAD
What did you to with…

Caridad looks over and sees Vi lying in the corner

CARIDAD
What did you do to her?

GLORY
Argh! You slayer types talk too much!

BUFFY (O.S)
Great there goes my pun
(Buffy smiles and pulls out the scythe from behind her back)
I’ll have to settle for kicking your ass

GLORY
God don’t you have anything else to do with your days?

BUFFY
Do you even want me to respond?

Glory turns round and punches Caridad across the room before running at Buffy who swings the scythe into her. Glory falls back and holds her bloody stomach – Buffy gives an almighty blow and sends Glory crashing through the wall.

GLORY
This isn’t over!

Glory jumps up and sprints off

BUFFY
You okay?

Caridad nods as Buffy grabs Vi

BUFFY
We’re leaving

INT – BUFFYS HOUSE – DAY

Buffy, Vi and Caridad walk through the door to be immediately greeted by Willow

BUFFY
What’s wrong?

WILLOW
They’re here

CUT TO.

INT – BUFFYS ROOM – DAY

Faith is sleeping in the bed, her face is bruised and dirty, the other slayers are in the same state scattered around the house

BUFFY
She looks so beaten down

TARA
I-it was on the news, the, the uh crash – a dog walker found the van before Angel could clear it

BUFFY
Any deaths?

WILLOW
Only those who we knew about already

BUFFY
Willow we were wrong we shouldn’t have done this

TARA
You couldn’t have known

BUFFY
Can we undo it?

WILLOW
Buffy do you have any idea how dangerous that is? The underworld will know these girls now, they’ll be after them all the time and they won’t be able to defend themselves

BUFFY
Then they’ll die. It’s what being a slayer is.

WILLOW
Buffy

BUFFY
I can’t deal with this right now. Tara, get the girls whatever they need to get better
(beat)
Willow, find the host.

WILLOW
It’s not that simple

BUFFY
You’re a Goddess. Make it that simple.

Buffy walks away

CUT TO.

INT – KITCHEN – DAY

Dawn is quietly mixing up cereals as Spike walks in

SPIKE
Kickin’ off right on time ‘ay pet

DAWN
Seems like

SPIKE
Getting’ ya down?

DAWN
No

SPIKE
Right, must be somethin’ else then

DAWN
Must be

Spike walks past Dawn and sniffs her hard

SPIKE
I can spell the fear on you

DAWN
I’m not scared of Glory anymore

SPIKE
Don’t doubt it nibblet
(beat)
It’s the fear of getting caught now the police are checkin’ out those woods
(walks past and whispers in her ear)
That’s what’s scaring you

CUT TO.

EXT – FOREST – NIGHT

Dozens of police cars are scattered around the forest with sniffer dogs and the like

OFFICER 1
Officer, we’ve found something

The officers step over a bump in the ground and walk straight over to the side of it where all the nature life has died, trees, plants, animals – all of it completely warn out in a circle

OFFICER 2
What the…what done this?

OFFICER 1
Get the specials in. It’s probably chemical dumping
(pause)
Seal the area we’re digging this up

END OF PART ONE

INT – MAGIC BOX – DAY

Andrew and Nancy are in the magic box with Wood

NANCY
I don’t understand, why are we here?

WOOD
According to Buffy, we’re gathering special supplies but seeing as there’s nothing here that will help I’m thinking that she’s hiding anyone Glory doesn’t already know so they don’t get involved

NANCY
Oh well that’s, good I guess

Andrew is trying to keep himself busy by stocktaking, Nancy walks over to him

NANCY
You’ve done this before haven’t you? The end of the world thing?

ANDREW
Only twice

NANCY
You make it sound so casual

ANDREW
You get used to it I guess

NANCY
Listen I think the odds of me dying are pretty high so…

ANDREW
Probably

NANCY
Thanks

ANDREW
No offence but you don’t seem to play well with others and you kinda have to

NANCY
I’ll remember that
(pause)
I’m sorry you know

ANDREW
You said

NANCY
Are we okay?

ANDREW
I never had a problem…oh, except that, um, you were real mean and stuff

NANCY
Got it. Check. No more bitchy defensive and jealous Nancy

ANDREW
Jealous?

NANCY
You’re his best friend I mean, aside from the girls but – I don’t know you guys seem to have some sort of connection I guess

ANDREW
You think?

NANCY
You don’t see it?

ANDREW
I guess it’s because we’re both geeks

NANCY
Xander’s a geek?

ANDREW
Totally!

CUT TO.

INT – UPSTAIRS HALL – DAY

Spike is walking out of the bathroom as Faith wonders out of her room

FAITH
You’re not naked

SPIKE
Well done

FAITH
Means I’m awake

Spike and Faith pass each other the curled up smile

SPIKE
Look like you’re dead mind

FAITH
S’nothin’

SPIKE
Right. I remember when Glory did “nothing” to me, hurt like hell

FAITH
It wasn’t Glory – something was blocking the road, the van crashed

SPIKE
You think you’re ready for her?

FAITH
Ready as I am to get some more Wood

SPIKE
Wood?
(beat)
Oh. Take it Buffy hasn’t given you the Glory talk yet?

FAITH
There’s a talk? A Buffy talk? Should I just cut my ears off now?

SPIKE
She’s a gobby bimbo with bad hair and funny arse

FAITH
Wouldn’t go that far but she can be a pain in the…

SPIKE
I’m talking about Glory

FAITH
Oh, uh, yeah me too. So if she’s all that she doesn’t sound, you know, all that

SPIKE
She might be all those things but she put Tara into mental paralysis and lead Buffy to her death

FAITH
I can deal.

SPIKE
I’m sure you can
(beat)
S’not like you’re afraid of dying is it?

Spike walks off leaving Faith deep in thought as Dawn walks out of her room

DAWN
Oh. Hey

FAITH
What?

DAWN
Hey. It’s from the Latin “Heya”

FAITH
What do you want?

DAWN
I was walking through my house

FAITH
Right, go on

DAWN
Were you just talking with Spike?

Faith doesn’t say anything

DAWN
Okay

Dawn walks past Faith and catches up with Spike

DAWN
I need to talk to you

SPIKE
What’s that then?

DAWN
Did you tell anyone?

SPIKE
Not my style

DAWN
How did you know?

SPIKE
You might’ve cut this puppet’s strings but I’m a real special boy now
(sniffs)
Still got the senses
(pause)
Other confirmation is the TV

DAWN
What?

SPIKE
Thought it a bit odd when I was “walkin’ my dog” this mornin’ and half the woods had melted right next to your dead father

DAWN
How did you know he was there?

SPIKE
Smelt his blood on old Rupert. Went down and disposed of him properly – figured that he’ll have enough time to float down stream while they’re distracted by radio activity in the woods.

DAWN
Thanks

Spike grabs Dawns arm and moves in real close

SPIKE
Never thank me for this. I done this so that sister of yours doesn’t have the added stress
(beat)
You’re a mess niblet, a big powerful mess and you’re gonna bang louder than Willow on speed

DAWN
No…I…I’ve been controlling my powers, I’ve been changing

SPIKE
Right and change is always a good thing?
(pause)
Why do you think you’ve stopped yourself telling anyone about him?

DAWN
I…

SPIKE
They’ve all done worse. They’d all understand.

DAWN
I don’t know

SPIKE
You won’t tell them because you know that deep down inside it wasn’t the magic, it was you. You wanted him out of the picture
(beat)
I’m not Giles. I don’t just look at the supernatural factor little bit, I look at the whole bloody mess of a picture

Spike let’s Dawn go and walks out of the door

He continues out into the garden as the background changes to…

‘Madrid, 1958’

Spike walks through the door of an old wine bar where Drusila is waiting for him

DRUSILA
If ever alone a night was

SPIKE
Sorry love, got Spanish stuck in my teeth

DRUSILA
You’ve eaten?

SPIKE
Didn’t think you were hungry

DRUSILA
No, not hungry

Drusilla shakes her head menacingly as she indicates a man slumped over a table on masses of paper

SPIKE
What were you thinking?

Spike pushes Drusila aside and rushes over to the man, throwing him onto the floor and collecting up his papers

DRUSILA
Did I do something bad
(laughs)
Are you going to spank me?

Spike grabs the water bucket and places the paper inside as the blood curdles in water, he pulls them out before the dry ink smears again

SPIKE
He’s the poet! The bloody best poet in this damn land! The reason we came to this place!

Spike looks at the poems and smiles

SPIKE
One part of old Willy that I’ll never lose
(lights a cigarette)
Bit of good word play

CUT TO.

EXT – GARDEN – DAY

Spike stubs out his cigarette as Buffy walks outside.

BUFFY
Hey

SPIKE
Sup?

BUFFY
Hiding from Willow

SPIKE
Ah right, the speech

BUFFY
She told you?

SPIKE
I heard

BUFFY
Then I can’t make her out to be in the wrong?

SPIKE
Not by a hair

BUFFY
I don’t understand why this is all moving so slow! It’s March and
(sigh)
this has been going on for months and we know nothing

SPIKE
You know plenty. You just don’t know that you know it

BUFFY
Oh…huh?

SPIKE
Faith’s the key

BUFFY
Nah ah! Dawn

SPIKE
The key to all of this! You wanna be waking her up and findin’ out if any of your little slayer friends of yesteryear ‘ave been givin’ her wet dreams
(off look)
Sweaty wet not…anyway, she’ll have the answers, least the clues and arrows

BUFFY
Check out Mr. Idea guy

SPIKE
Someone’s gotta do it

CUT TO.

Spike is slammed into a wall by a vampire

VAMPIRE
But why is it always me?

‘New York, 1975’

Spike laughs in his face and kicks him away

SPIKE
It’s always you because you’re the only one who’s stupid enough to try and steal the slayer’s son while she’s with him!

Drusila comes over to Spike and wraps her arm around him

DRUSILA
I don’t like New York anymore Spikey, it’s so bright and noisy like stars falling down on a jungle of choirs

SPIKE
Just got one more thing to do here pet, trust me, we’ll be gone before the clock tells us it’s 1976

DRUSILA
Is this because of the slayer?

SPIKE
What?

DRUSILA
You’ll never kill her Spike, you can’t do it. You spent so long trying to kill the last one that she died of natural death

SPIKE
Eaten whole is not a natural death Dru

VAMPIRE (O.S)
A love for a mother
A love for a son
A love for a sin
A love for the sun

SPIKE
What are you reading?

The vampire holds up a poem book they found in Nikki’s abandoned weapons bag

VAMPIRE
Just some poems or some lame us stuff

CUT TO.

EXT – MAGIC BOX – DAY

Spike is strutting along the street as if he’s doing all he can to avoid bumping into anyone he knows, naturally this isn’t going to happen

Spike stops at the sound of grinding metal, Xander car has been smashed into the side of the road. Kennedy is riding in the back with Tara and Willow

Spike looks over and sees Glory stood where the car was seconds before

GLORY
Hey you!

INT – BUFFYS CAR – DAY

Dawn is staring out of the window as Buffy drives towards the shop

BUFFY
You heard from Dad lately?

DAWN
I…No

RADIO
Police, this morning have discovered a radio active disturbance in the forests at the border of Sunnydale, California

BUFFY
Turn that up

Dawn edges towards it cautiously

RADIO
It’s believed to be a result of nuclear dumping beneath the grounds though scientists say that the crop circle effect is very unusual in such a low populated area

BUFFY
I’m gonna check this out – you okay walking the rest of the block?

DAWN
(quiet)
Come with me

BUFFY
What?

DAWN
Nothing. I’ll be fine

Dawn gets out of the car and watches incredibly anxious as Buffy drives off

CUT TO.

EXT – MAGIC BOX – DAY

Willow and Xander have managed to get out of the car as Glory runs over and jumps on the underneath, crushing it down more

GLORY
Oops

Glory jets over to Spike as Willow throws herself to the floor to look in through where Kennedy and Tara are both stuck

KENNEDY
Help us!

Both are stuck, Tara is unconscious

WILLOW
Tara…

Willow looks up at Kennedy and reaches in, grabbing her arm

XANDER
Will, be careful

She slowly manages to pull Kennedy out, they look at each other briefly

WILLOW
Tara…

Kennedy looks at Willow before going back to the car

KENNEDY
Willow lift it

Over by the shop, Glory is slowly walking towards Spike

GLORY
So how’ve you been?

SPIKE
Dandy, you?

Glory smiles before smacking Spike through the window of the Magic Box. Nancy, Andrew and Wood back away from the glass as she jumps in

GLORY
Hey guys! I’m Glory, the Vampire Slayer…slayer

ANDREW
Oh god!

GLORY
How did you know?

ANDREW
Lucky guess?

GLORY
You’re cute. I’m saving you til’ last!

NANCY
Oh god…

CUT TO.

EXT – MAGIC BOX – DAY

Willow is holding the car up with her mind as Kennedy stretches the metal apart for Xander to pull Tara out

Kennedy sniffs as she sees smoke coming out

KENNEDY
Hurry

Xander pulls Tara to safety as the car explodes, throwing Kennedy into the street

WILLOW
Kennedy!

Willow rushes over to her as she hits her head on a water hydrant

WILLOW
Kennedy?

Kennedy’s eyes flicker open before she passes out, she’s still breathing

WILLOW
We have to get her to a hospital

TARA
I-I-I’ll go w-with her

Willow looks at Tara before running into the magic box with Xander

CUT TO.

EXT – FOREST – DAY

Buffy pulls up and sees Giles stood at the edge

BUFFY
You heard about it too huh?

Giles turns to face the car, he’s a little startled

GILES
It’s strange indeed

BUFFY
How come you didn’t tell anyone you were here?

GILES
You were all busy. How’s Vi?

BUFFY
She’s out cold. Caridad’s shaken up pretty bad. Willow and Tara put up a barrier around the house though so they’re cool for now

GILES
Where are they all?

BUFFY
Dawn’s gone to meet them at the Magic Box so that Willow can do some form of mojo test or something – it’ll clear them off of the Glory hunt and make them known if they’re attacked

GILES
She’s come a long way

BUFFY
Long like real long! She’s a Goddess

GILES
That’s what you’ll need

BUFFY
Giles would you be offended if I told you that you’re being very Oz like today?

GILES
Sorry

BUFFY
See – that’s not very English, where’s all the ‘I Apologise for being a far away one toned boob’?
(beat)
Not even a little giggle?

OFFICER (O.S)
Get the deputy over here – we have a body

BUFFY
Body?

GILES
Perhaps we should be heading back to the others

BUFFY
You go.

GILES
Buffy – as much as this is a terrible thing to happen we don’t know how old that body is or even if it’s human. We have far more important things to deal with right now

BUFFY
I guess. I’ll come by later

The two slowly walk back to the car, Buffy looking back the entire time

CUT TO.

INT – MAGIC BOX – DAY

Spike smashes Glory in the face as Wood kicks her in the back

SPIKE
Nice move mate

WOOD
Ditto

Nancy is stood behind the counter as Andrew passes her various glass bottles, she tosses them at Glory who is getting uber pissed off and is about to jump at her when…

XANDER
Don’t even think it

GLORY
Fine I guess I’ll crush your skull instead

WILLOW
Back off!

Willow comes gliding through the whole, very tough love. Glory laughs and tosses a table up at the broken wall, it collapses around Willow, knocking her down and burying her legs

SPIKE
Argh!

Spike smashes an iron statue across Glory’s face, tossing her across the room. Buffy and Giles arrive outside as Kennedy is loaded into the ambulance

BUFFY
What’s going on?

TARA
G-Glory she’s inside

Buffy sprints in and leaps through the gap of the broken window

Glory has Wood by the neck as she slams him against the wall and squeezes tight. Spike’s eyes go wide, as do Buffy’s at the sound of a crack as Wood limps to the floor

Spike and Buffy both launch at Glory, smashing their fists into her head Glory looks straight back up and throws them into the walls at the side

Giles appears having ran straight upstairs, he grabs a dark magic book and faces Glory

GLORY
The book worm – whatcha got there mister?

GILES
Arenimus Hacumfus Kuum

GLORY
American?

GILES
Dimanus Arenimus Nomatica

Giles raises his hand and tosses a ball of energy at Glory the exact same as with Willow in ‘Grave’ she is held in a green ring

Buffy slowly rouses, looking straight over at Wood, her eyes not moving even to blink

Xander is holding Willow in his arms, she’s hurt her leg – Nancy and Andrew are holding each other behind the counter. All is calm

CUT TO.

INT – WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

‘New York, 1976’

Nikki kicks Spike in the face and attempts a second kick but he grabs her ankle and flips her over

SPIKE
Nice moves sweetheart

Spike pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolds it

SPIKE
Almost as good as your poetry

Spike leans on a wall as Nikki remains on the floor

SPIKE
Chocolate swirls like the stares in your eyes
Deeper than the darkest forest lies
Lies are something I will never tell you
You are something pure honest and true

(Mix to Spikes voice becoming the minister )

EXT – GRAVEYARD – DAY

MINISTER (V.O)
True like your heart a warrior brave
Brave you don’t need to be I’ll protect you always
Always remember the love that I share
Share life with others and never be scared
Scared when you’re sleeping, just think of me
I’ll always protect you, because you’re my Baby

Buffy, Dawn, Giles, Willow, Kennedy, Xander, Spike and Andrew stand around the grave

BUFFY
That was beautiful. Where did you get that poem?

SPIKE
Some old place

END OF PART THREE

INT – BUFFYS CAR – NIGHT

Buffy, Faith and Dawn are driving back together as an update plays

BUFFY
I think I’ve been to more funerals than I Spike has hair appointments

DAWN
Do you know what’s happening with the school?

BUFFY
Willow’s subbing until the end of the semester. A new principal will take over in September

DAWN
I can’t believe he’s dead it was just so…fast

BUFFY
He’s in a better place I guess
(to Faith)
Are you okay? I know you were close to him

FAITH
Five by five

DAWN
H-How come you go there so late?

FAITH
Didn’t think I’d be able to face it I guess

BUFFY
I’ll just be glad when this is all over

RADIO
We have a confirmation on a body found in the Sunnydale woods today

DAWN
Can we change the channel?

BUFFY
Shh

RADIO
Forensics found a letter in the mans pocket, addressed to ‘B’ the words contained were ‘I’m Sorry’ and nothing else. It is believed to be a suicide

BUFFY
That is so sad. Not even a full explanation?

RADIO
Police have identified the man as a Hank Summers

Buffy skids her car to a stop

RADIO (as we pan away from the car)
If you know anything we urge you to contact us immediately

CUT TO.

INT – SUMMERS HOUSE – NIGHT

Kennedy, Willow, Giles, Spike, Xander and Andrew walk through the door and settle around the kitchen, all long faced

SPIKE
(sniffs)
Blood

They run through to the dining room where Tara has a gash to the head, she’s bandaging Nancy’s arm

WILLOW
Baby what happened?

KENNEDY
Was it Glory?

TARA
Faith

XANDER
Faith did this?

TARA
S-She’s gone

GILES
Glory?

NANCY
Vi woke up. She told us about when Glory attacked her – then Glory came in, she broke out of her force field and she…
(pause)
She changed right in front of us

XANDER
What are you saying?

NANCY
Glory…she’s Faith.

OK the only person I had ruled out as it definitely not being and it was her!!!
Nancy is alot more likeable in this now. The scene with Andrew helped alot.
I have a question. If Glory is in Faith does that give her extra strength? Faith being a slayer and all.
Not writing much as I want to get onto the next and find out what happenes. *squeals with glee this series is Sooooo exciting!!*
