HYPERION – DAY. ILLYRIA storms past with a mass of ancient books piled in her hands. She crosses Spike, knocking shoulders with him as he brings an axe to Angel. Harmony is frantically rushing around in the background as the phone lines are ringing madly. WESLEY is painting a symbol onto the back wall as Athena rushes past Angel and Gunn on her cell phone. GUNN Man, I haven’t seen business like this since… ever ANGEL Yeah, turns out L.A is still crappy GUNN Pretty much. ATHENA (hanging up) Okay, that was the psychic and she says that this girl is in some serious trouble – something about a car park and alley way. She’s the priority case. ANGEL Let’s go GUNN Don’t we have a plan? ANGEL We’ll think about it in the car, Spike. Come on. Gunn – wait here in case we need back up GUNN Shouldn’t the back up be… ANGEL I’ll call you CUT TO.

CARPARK – NIGHT. A Young girl, probably in her late teens, is stood nervously in a the dark, clutching her arms around herself as she shivers in the cold. Bruises on her bare legs, tiredness across her face – fear in her eyes as the pending footsteps increase in volume. He’s closer. VOICE Hello Carrie CARRIE Dominic? DOMINIC Yes, it’s me. Do you have what I asked for? CARRIE I have most of it DOMINIC Most? CARRIE I’m sorry, I really tried but… DOMINIC Not hard enough apparently. Come over here and give me what you do have CARRIE cautiously steps forward to Dominic and hands him two large bags of blood DOMINIC You know, for a nursing student you should be able to access this stuff as it were air CARRIE I tried, I really did DOMINIC You know how hard things have been for me, since that awful little girl shared her power around like it was bread and she was the son of god. (beat) I can barely break a vein with my teeth and you, you pay me back for everything in halves. CARRIE I swear, you’ll get it by the weekend, I promise. CARRIE jumps, looking over as Connor and his friend Bailey and Emma walk out of the elevator and into the carpark CONNOR No way, that fight scene was way unrealistic BAILEY No dude, he kicked ass CONNOR looks up at Carrie, she clocks eyes with him before nervously looking away. He pauses for a moment before walking on. DOMINIC You’ve got four days – and then… DOMINIC is cut off as he sees two of his minders burst into ashes, revealed Connor holding, yes, two stakes. DOMINIC stares back in shock before scattering to his car DOMINIC Four days, you hear? DOMINIC speeds off as Carrie falls back against a pillar, shaking CONNOR You okay? CARRIE You saved me CONNOR Doesn’t look much like it (beat) You okay getting home? CARRIE I don’t have a home CONNOR stares back at her, he seems lost but evidently not half as lost as she is.

Rescuing some girl from a vampire al pacino and letting her stay in our dorm so that I can get killed when you’re conveniently off on one of your three day trips to the store… not the funnest of fun times CONNOR That’s not going to happen BAILEY If I die, I’m going to haunt you like hell!

I’m not sleeping with little miss black cat for any number of nights BAILEY walks out of the door, crossing a freshly cleaned Carrie on his way out BAILEY Bad luck for life! Dammit. CARRIE walks over to Connor’s bed and sits next to him CARRIE What’s his issue? CONNOR He was dropped on his head as a kid Carrie throws herself onto the bean bag so that she is sat opposite Connor CARRIE Listen, I wanted to thank you for letting me stay – you didn’t have to do that CONNOR It’s cool She leans forward, positioning herself between his knees and placing a hand on his thigh CARRIE You didn’t have to, I want to thank you… She reaches up for his zipper as he tenses up and pushes her away CONNOR What are you doing? CARRIE Thanking you CONNOR What? No… I didn’t do this for kicks Carrie, I done this because you needed help CARRIE (embarrassed) I’m sorry I should… I’m sorry… CARRIE goes to leave but Connor stops her CONNOR Don’t go… (pause) Just, don’t think you have to thank me for staying here okay?

ATHENA The girl in the car park?

About how proud you are of him? ANGEL stares at Connor, hard. CONNOR Wanna tell me what that was all about?

ANGEL I’m sorry NINA spins round, tears in her eyes NINA Sorry that you let me think you were dead for half a year? (beat before crying) I didn’t know what to think.

GWEN is still sat opposite GUNN who is now next to four empty beer bottles GUNN At first it was all about the vamp thing, I couldn’t stand him for it but I got over that, really. But… it’s knowin’ that he’s been lying to me for over a year – not just that but knowing that he let Fred die with a head full of lies and Wes, Illyria – even Harmony, they knew what I wasn’t told. Gunn falls silent GWEN What? GUNN The only time I ever betrayed any of them was Fred GWEN The stick insect? Let me guess, you got tired and cheated on her? GUNN She died because of me GWEN (serious) I’m sorry (pause) What happened? GUNN It’s a long story, but her body is still around GWEN That’s gross GUNN It’s being used by an old one, kinda confusing. Not as bad as Cordy though GWEN What’s her story?

When you look at it… GUNN I’ve got it easy. I know. GWEN And yet… GUNN It just hurts man, just thinkin’ that we all went through this last year so that Angel’s kid could have a regular life and look where it got us.

DORMATORY – NIGHT. Connor slams his door shut as he comes into his dorm room, his room-mate, BAILEY stares up over a comic book and pulls off his head phones BAILEY Dude CONNOR Hey, how come you’re…still up and… BAILEY The other room stinks. CONNOR Where’s… BAILEY Midnight snacking (beat) Slamming? CONNOR Sorry BAILEY Family? CONNOR Always BAILEY Talk? CONNOR No thanks BAILEY Cool Bailey slips his headphones back on until Connor sits up BAILEY You cracked sooner than usual man, it’s good. Repression sucks. CONNOR I’m pissed BAILEY At your non-Dad again? CONNOR He is my Dad, he’s just not my… “Dad” BAILEY It makes sense CONNOR He didn’t tell his friend about me, a friend that I remembered, he never told him that I was still around BAILEY Harsh. I’m still not too clear on this whole thing but your Dad, the Angel guy, sounds like a jerk CONNOR He is (hesitant) He’s not. He’s just a closed book BAILEY So it IS genetic. Maybe he just needs somebody as cute and charming and charismatic as me to bring the words out of him (pause) ooh plan CONNOR Stay away from him BAILEY But… CONNOR Bai! BAILEY Dude, find the fun it’s like rooming with Grandma. Even the smell. Connor sniffs himself CONNOR I don’t smell BAILEY picks up his sneakers from the floor and whiffs them BAILEY My bad.

CONNORS ROOM – MORNING CONNOR awakens to find a note written from Carrie “Thanks for giving me my life back, be seeing you… xxx” He smiles and slides it into a bedside draw before noticing that the fold out bed on which Bailey slept, is still as it was last night. CUT TO. EXT. LOS ANGELES STREET – DAY GUNN and GWEN are walking through a crowd, Gunn happily licking at an ice cream, Gwen in hella more casual attire than usual.

GUNN brushes himself off as Gwen helps him stand ILLYRIA I was not aware of your presence. I regret my move. GUNN It’s cool GWEN Well spoken for a demon ILLYRIA (to Gunn) Who is this tramp? Why does she suggest that I am demon. GWEN Sweety, you’re calling me a tramp – you’re already about seventy percent of the way to a serious kick of the butt GUNN Gwen, Illyria. Illyria this is Gwen GWEN Charmed, I’m sure GUNN Illyria what are you doing out in Fred’s… (beat) Looking like that? ILLYRIA I think it may be less of a challenge on your species tiny brains to accept my appearance in this form. If I were to remain Illyria, God King, people would scare.

GWEN Good start ILLYRIA cocks her head at a grinning Gwen GUNN So, uh, how are things at the hotel? ILLYRIA Spike is playing with the child in his room last night. Angel is out of place. His happiness makes me feel discomfort. GUNN Happiness huh? ILLYRIA Smiling repeatedly – like when you lose the commander the television set and you can not remove the power of three.

Like… WESLEY Dominostrus! SPIKE Err… ATHENA He’s this uber powerful vampire that has enough power he will end the world within five… (off looks) COULD end the world as we know it within five years.

WESLEY removes the necklace from Connor’s hand. CONNOR She was wearing it yesterday… I found it by my bedroom window, on the outside ATHENA Dragged outside WESLEY passes it to ATHENA ATHENA Oh god… CONNOR What? SPIKE I’m guessin’ they’ve found a mojo no-no ATHENA It’s the symbol of Demereal WESLEY An ancient power believed to have posed as victim to her minions, she would lure her way into peoples lives, seen as helpless. ATHENA She lays her eggs which hatch into virtually invisible parasites that find their way into the human body via any access area, mouth, nose, eyes – anything. WESLEY The process occurs during sleep when… SPIKE Sleep? Like what you did in the same room as her last night? WESLEY We’d best run a check. Was there anyone else that could’ve been infected?

HOTEL – SUNSET ANGEL is wrapping his jacket on as CONNOR, ATHENA,SPIKE and WES arm themselves NINA What should I do? ANGEL You stay here, I’m not risking anything happening to you NINA I have to do something. ANGEL Call Gunn.

WESLEY I can’t be entirely sure ANGEL Are you sure enough? ATHENA It’ll work, Trust me. ANGEL Connor, stick with Spike, go out anywhere and find this Domonic guy – I’ve got a feeling he’s the one who’s going to be answering some questions. Athena go with Wes start up the wash-out spell.

GUNN You know… GWEN Not yet but I’m sure I will in a minute GUNN What does that mean? GWEN Gunn, I like you a lot. I do. But do you think that maybe sometimes a job is just a job. You don’t have to be best friends with your boss so long as you’re doing the work you want to do and maybe ‘doing’ is better than ‘talking’ GUNN I’ll shut up now GWEN It would please me no end GUNN So what are we here to get anyway? GWEN Something big… CUT TO. INT. WESLEY’S CAR – NIGHT WESLEY The jewel of her throne.

WESLEY Recently opened a branch on the opposite side of town to the college ATHENA You can’t possibly think that… WESLEY It strikes me as strange that she was first encountered by Connor at the car park in by the Hyperion in the south/east corner… the college being in the north east and B&H being in the south/west… ATHENA Okay, so I assume there’s something in the North/West corner… WESLEY Yes… (beat) Caves.
