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!
