INT. TUNNELS – DAY
Angel stalks forward with Athena close behind him. She is holding a cross bow as he remains weaponless. Almost as casually as she is walking, he spins on his feet to face her
ANGEL
Who are you?
ATHENA
Expand
ANGEL
Who are you? Where are you from? What are you about?
ATHENA
I’m Athena Dimuzio, I’m was born in Brooklyn twenty seven years and fifteen days ago, I have two sisters, one brother and a mother. My father was killed by a vampire at some point and I’m about living.
ANGEL
You don’t look twenty seven
ATHENA
I…meant to say twenty four, I’m twenty four
ANGEL
You said twenty seven
ATHENA
I meant twenty four
ANGEL
But you siad…
ATHENA
You once said you’d never work with Wolfram & Hart but things change champ.
ANGEL
When Wesley hired you did he tell you about my last assistant?
ATHENA
Eve? What a waste of space
ANGEL
She was a sheep. Worse than Harmony. She followed where she was lead and as far as I know was crushed by a building four months ago
ATHENA
Wow. Crappy ending to a crappy story. Why does this concern me?
ANGEL
Because in the end, if someone does me wrong, they’ll end badly
ATHENA
Way for the vote of confidence grandpa
(pause)
Now weren’t we here for a reason?
CUT TO.
INT. WESLEYS OFFICE – DAY.
HARMONY approaches WESLEY holding a large mug of tea
HARMONY
Hey second in command, I bought you some tea. English people drink it apparently
WESLEY
Put it down there
HARMONY
Are you okay?
WESLEY
I’m fine
WESLEY is buried among books, Harmony picks one up
HARMONY
Life through dimensions? Oh is this about Fred?
WESLEY
Yes
HARMONY
I don’t get it, if you’re so concerned about her body why not examine it?
WESLEY
(through teeth)
Because I can’t find it
HARMONY
Hello! It’s out there now in a deeper shade of blue
WESLEY
That’s not Fred
HARMONY
Right, but it is her body
WESLEY
Do you have anything worth while to say?
HARMONY
(hurt)
No
WESLEY
Then leave before I remove you
CUT TO.
INT. SHELTER – NIGHT
Spike graps the demon by the throat and slams him towards Gunn who spins him and pins him to the wall
GUNN
Where is she?
DEMON
I don’t know what you’re talking about
GUNN
Like hell is you don’t!
DEMON
Let me go
SPIKE
Kill ‘im
ANNE
No, no killing him until we know where she is
DEMON
Him?
GUNN
It!
DEMON
She!
GUNN
Whatever! YOU KNOW where she is and you’re going to tell me before I rip your mouth of and show it to you
DEMON
No please! I’ll talk
ANNE
He doesn’t seem so scary
SPIKE
Let him talk
DEMON
I know the girl – they took her in! She ran away because she was having these implanted dreams and…
GUNN
And what?
Gunn pushes the blunt side of a knife into the demons windepipe
DEMON
They’re going to mate with her tonight
GUNN
Is that everything I need?
DEMON
That’s everything, I swear! Let me go
GUNN
I’ll let you go
Gunn slits the demons throat
GUNN
Back to hell
CUT TO.
INT. CAFÉ – DAY
FRILLYA is sat with the woman, as their coffees arrive.
WOMAN
I’m sorry, it’s just… It’s uncanny how much you look like her
FRILLYIA
Fred?
WOMAN
Yes. I mean, I thought it couldn’t be, obviously it’s not but…everything
(pause)
the way you walk, your hair, your smell – except the way you speak it’s all her
FRILLYIA
You. You have deep feeling for Winifred. Feelings of love but from a long time passed
WOMAN
(uncomfortable)
Yes. We were friends in High School I couldn’t believe when her parents told me
FRILLYIA
Told you?
WOMAN
Sorry it’s just… Fred, my friend
(emotional)
She died seven months ago in L.A. That’s why it was so strange to see y’all
FRILLYIA
Fred. She was stored?
WOMAN
I wouldn’t put it like that but…
FRILLYRIA
Show me her resting place
WOMAN
I can’t…it’s back home, in texas
FRILLYRIA glares at the woman before waving her hand. Time changes and the woman slows down as a portal opens for Illyria.
She climbs through as the woman catches to speed, looking lost at her sudden loneliness
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS DAY –
ANGEL and ATHENA glare through a hole at a group of vampires
ANGEL
I want you to stay back
ATHENA
I want to win the lottery but it aint happening in the next five years
ANGEL
What?
ATHENA
I’m a fighter
ANGEL
I’m not letting you get yourself killed
ATHENA
You don’t let me do anything. I’m my own woman mister.
ANGEL
Sure
ATHENA
Sure yourself
Angel steps forward as Athena reaches out her foot and trips him. He lands pressed against her, lips just apart
ANGEL
I’m seeing someone
ATHENA
And I’m not interested. I’m just preventing you from getting yourself killed
She pushes him away
ATHENA
You’re the second to last person I’d sleep with on this planet
ANGEL
Who’s the last?
ATHENA
You wouldn’t want to know
Angel goes to move forward again, she grabs him by the arm
ATHENA
Are you completely stupid or did it develop gradually? If you jump in like that you’re dead
ANGEL
I can’t take six vamps
ATHENA
But not the inevitable twelve hidden in the upper tunnels that lead into there
ANGEL
What?
ATHENA
Please. You’ve spend five years down here and you’re still that soft?
ANGEL
You know, I’m starting to really not like you
ATHENA
Let’s me watch me lose sleep over that one shall we?
ANGEL
Bug off
ATHENA
Bite me
ANGEL
Don’t temp me
VAMPIRE (O.S)
Excuse me
They spin towards him
VAMPIRE
Can I help you?
CUT TO.
INT. WAREHOUSE – NIGHT
GUNN and SPIKE burst through a door expecting a monster fight ahead of them
GUNN
Where is…
SPIKE
There’s nobody here
GUNN and SPIKE stare around them before thinning out
SPIKE
I’ll go upstairs
GUNN wonders off to the next room as Spike plods up the stairs
SPIKE
Here victim, victim, victim
Gunn continues through, jumping back as he comes to see the girl, strung up between two posts – her ribcage removed
GUNN
Spike!
Spike comes running down
SPIKE
What’s up Charlie B…
(beat)
Oh god
DEMON (O.S)
He’s the last person you need to worry about
They spin to see at least a half dozen demons facing them, all armed
CUT TO.
EXT. GRAVEYARD – DAY
FRYLLIRIA bends to her knees as she runs her fingers along the words “WINIFRED BURKLE – DAUGHTER AND HERO, 1975 – 2004”
Her eyes water as she stares at Fred’s image in a small opal shape in the corner of the stone.
CUT TO.
INT. WAREHOUSE – DAY
Spike sits in the corner exhausted. Blood down his face, tears in his jacket as Gunn flips to his feet with a sword in his hand.
GUNN
Anyone else want a go?
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS – DAY.
ANGEL spins over the top of a vampire, kicking him in the face as he lands. He spin kicks to remove another.
ATHENA grabs a sword and swings it immediately through another vampire’s centre, cutting him in half. She holds a pole for support and boots a vamp in the chest.
ANGEL
Wow
Distracted, Angel fails to notice as a vampire approaches him
ATHENA
Angel!
He turns just in time for a stake to ram through the centre of his chest
END OF PART FOUR
INT. HYPERION – DAY
Flashes of blue waves through the hotel, Wesley looks up unsurprised. Evidently tired.
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS – DAY
BLUE FLASH
ANGEL
Wow…
ANGEL spins just in time to prevent a stake coming through his chest – time has changed once again.
CUT TO.
INT. HYPERION HOTEL – DAY
ILLYRIA wonders in to Wesley, she’s in Freds form
WESLEY
(delighted)
Fred!
(off look)
Illyria. Stay away from that guise
ILLYRIA
You wish me to function among other shells. My form can not fit in to this society
WESLEY
True. Good thinking
ILLYRIA
Fred. I found her.
WESLEY
Found her where?
ILLYRIA
With her parents at the farm
WESLEYS eye sparkle with joy
ILLYRIA
She was covered in soil. A stone placed at her end.
WESLEY
A Grave?
ILLYRIA
Fred is dead, Wesley
WESLEY
No.
ILLYRIA
You have to discontinue this grief. She will not return to you.
WESLEY
You can leave now
ILLYRIA
I speak only what I see
WESLEY
You speak lies! Now get out of this office!
Illyria’s eyes widen as she stares at Wesley. She turns on her heels, morphing to blue as she leaves.
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS – DAY
ATHENA stands on an upper level tunnel as she reaches her hand out to Angel
ATHENA
Nice job boss
ANGEL
You too
ATHENA
You know I think this could work out
ANGEL
I have my doubts, but I don’t disagree
ATHENA
I think you love me
ANGEL
What?
ATHENA
As a co-worker, you’ll have more time to be “not perfectly happy” with Nina while I kick ass
CUT TO.
INT. SHELTER – NIGHT
GUNN is holding ANNE
GUNN
We stopped them, they won’t be coming back.
SPIKE
Sorry about the girl
ANNE
You tried your best
GUNN
Best wasn’t good enough. This kinda thing shouldn’t happen. I spoke to some people and they’ll be over to do a sanctuary spell later
ANNE
What’s that?
GUNN
Something I learnt from an old friend. Don’t worry aint not demon’s gonna be fightin’ nobody up in here
SPIKE
Cept me
CUT TO.
INT. HYPERION – NIGHT
ANGEL comes down the stairs as ILLYRIA stares through WESLEYS office window
ANGEL
What’s the problem?
ILLYRIA
Wesleys head is broken
ANGEL
It is?
ILLYRIA
He thinks unthinkable things
ANGEL
You mean he lost it?
ILLYRIA
Lost what?
ANGEL
Never mind
ILLYRIA
I have seen the grave in this world. Fred Burkles family created a stone for her memory
ANGEL
You’ve seen that?
ILLYRIA
I have concern for Wesley. He will not hear of her demise
ANGEL
Give him time
ILLYRIA
Time has been given.
ANGEL
Give him more
Angel taps her as he moves over to Harmony and Athena who are both on their way out of the door
ANGEL
Athena…
ATHENA
Yes?
ANGEL
Thanks
ATHENA
Don’t mention it
ANGEL
So… you never answered who or what you are…names sure but…
ATHENA
I’ll see you on Monday Angel.
She looks back as he watches her walk off into the night
