6x07: SKIN
INT. LABORATORY - NIGHT.
'Some time in the not too distant future'
Guards are running around manically, sparks flying from destroyed equipment, bodies mounted up - a burst tank in the middle of the room.
Demons sprawl the grounds as Dr. Stein rushes towards a small case
STEIN
Where is it? WHERE IS IT?!
Stein looks up at a balcony to see the sillohuette holding a small object wrapped in a blanket.
STEIN
Noo!
Stein goes to move as a demon claw pulls him away. The figure watches for a moment before dissapearing through an airvent.
PRESENT DAY...
INT. HYPERION – NIGHT.
HARMONY comes wondering in with bags and bags of shopping, Nina comes skipping over a little angsty
NINA
Have you seen Angel?
HARMONY
Um, I’ve had the day off… I got bored so I came to show off my clothes.
NINA
That’s nice. Um, they went out on a mission or something about two hours ago and…
HARMONY
You’re panicking already? Please. Angel once went to Italy for a mission, that was only two months after popping over to England – he’s very global. Did he say where he was going?
NINA
The college
HARMONY
(beaming)
With Connor?
NINA
I think so…
HARMONY
We should panic, come on let’s go find them…
(O.S) VOICE
Excuse me…
BOTH
Yes?
MAN
Is this Angel investigations?
The girls look at each other nervously before flashing awkward smiles at the man
CUT TO.
EXT. ALLEYWAY – NIGHT.
ILLYRIA remains on the floor, eyes blue, skin blue, hair like Freds. She is shaking as two figures step towards her.
A man, the attacker, is stood over her – he pulls off his face mask and hands the knife to another man – the blade flashes a green shimmer as he hands it to him.
MAN
Load her up
The attacker lifts her as she passes out completely, he carries her over to a parked van at the dead end (opposite to the carnival) and throws her in the back with a team of six armed men.

EXT. ROADSIDE – NIGHT
WESLEY and ATHENA are still surrounded by the infected students.
WESLEY
(over noises)
They’ve obviously spread further than we thought – they’ve had time to seek us out
ATHENA
Wow, no wonder they call you the brains
(off look)
You up for a fight?
WESLEY
I don’t think now is the time to… oh, with them.
(beat)
Yes.
They nod at each other and slam the doors outwards, springing out of the car, Athena pulls a knife from her boot
WESLEY
Don’t kill them
ATHENA
Trust me
CUT TO.
INT. BERKLEY and HANSON – NIGHT
GUNN
Last time you said that…
GWEN
Are we getting over that one anytime soon?
GUNN
We may not need too – something tells me these guys aren’t here for a kiss and cuddle
Gunn and Gwen continue to back away
GWEN
Geez, would it be their constant informative ‘you must be destroyed’?
GUNN
That’s one of the things, yeah
GWEN
You know what would be helpful right now?
GUNN
If you say Angel I’m gonna…
GWEN removes her glove and zaps the lock the safe, she throws Gunn inside and follows him, slamming the door behind them.
GUNN
Great Idea super girl! Cept – how are we gon’ get out?
GWEN
Doesn’t matter
(grabs crystal)
Got what we came for
CUT TO.
INT. COLLEGE – NIGHT
ANGEL is sprinting through corridors as Bailey leads the troops after him, picking up speed but never more than walking.
ANGEL
Open space… Open space…
ANGEL spots the football field from the window – he looks back at the pending riot and covers his face before leaping through the glass.
CUT TO.
INT. ????? – NIGHT.
You thought the initiative was fancy well this place makes it look like Harmony’s desk! A huge warehouse full of equipment and buzzing scientists. In the centre – a large tank (think “Splash” the mermaid movie)
In the tank, Illyrias eyes spring open to greet a slim man with grey flicks in his hair, a beard smothering a smug grin and glasses shielding dead eyes.
STEIN
At last we meet
Illyria stares back at him as he paces back and forth past the tank in which she is chained to.
STEIN
I wouldn’t bother fighting it Illyria, my men have ensured that all attempts you make to escape will only weaken you
(smiles)
That’s the wonders of magic these days, you can do pretty much anything you wish to.
ILLYRIA stares at him, shifting her head each time he moves – she doesn’t speak a sound.
STEIN
Why so glum? We’re helping you here, we’re helping the world –
(looks down)
The future may depend on our actions today
ILLYRIA
Your actions are null. Defeat is a word that I have to experience – I plan to keep it this way.
STEIN
Yes. Quite.
STEIN pauses as one of his soldiers marches towards him, removing his mask – it’s GRAEME MILLER.
GRAEME
Sir, the others are in place
STEIN
Including Mr. Pryce?
ILLYRIA
Wesley?
GRAEME
Including, sir.
STEIN
Excellent.
STEIN thinks to himself for a moment before rubbing his chin as he turns to Illyria
STEIN
You’re rather fond of this, Wesley? Such a shame.
Illyria pulls against the chains until a shock is sent down through them, rendering her unconscious
STEIN
(shaking head)
They never learn
END OF PART ONE
EXT. COLLEGE – NIGHT.
ANGEL is holding a large pole – not sharp at either end but hard enough to restrain any of the victims.
ANGEL
Hey Bailey – remember me?
BAILEY
You are the one who causes the suffering. The Suffering shall return to you.
ANGEL
Right but can we talk about…
BAILEY
Punishment has not been submitted. The fates shall take a price. You. Alone. Shall Suffer. Eternally.
ANGEL
Okay, enough with the speeches
Angel bounds towards Bailey and swings the pole towards him, Bailey snaps his hands down and grasps the centre of it, shoving it backwards against Angel and sending him flying
ALL
You do not kill the mother!
Angel scuffles back on his hands as a car comes speeding towards him, breaking just in time. Out of the battered car falls Athena.
ATHENA
Get in
ANGEL
We can’t…
ATHENA
Get. In.
ANGEL jumps into the car, speeding away as Athena closes the door
ANGEL
What’s going on? How come the cars so…
WESLEY
Apparently our little communal virus is a lot more communal than we initially thought
ATHENA
We got stopped on the road by lots of really cranky teenagers
ANGEL
Where’s Connor?
ATHENA
He’s still at the car park. Pretty cool guy if, much unlike his Father, he can answer his cell while he’s fighting
(beat)
Or, at all
CUT TO.
INT. CARPARK – NIGHT
SPIKE and CONNOR are fighting the minions as Connor pauses, he spots Carrie across the carpark with Dominic. He leaps over the crowd as the two pack into a car and speed off.
CONNOR
Spike…
SPIKE
GO!
Spike is literally pummelling the crowds as Connor sprints towards the ledge of the car park, he holds the pillar and spidermans it up to the roof, bounding over to the next building – running along to keep the car in sight.
Wesley’s car is jetting towards Carrie and Dominic, swinging to the side as both cars just miss each other. In one confident stride, Connor hurls himself seven stories, onto the car roof
ANGEL, WESLEY and ATHENA spring out of the car as Connor rips Dominic out of the sun roof, Angel grins
ANGELS
That’s my son!
(points)
Look at him go
ATHENA
It’s a kodak moment
Connor lifts Dominic and rams a stake into him, dusting him as Carrie attempts to release herself from the locked seatbelt
ANGEL
Are you okay?
CARRIE
Help! He’s going to kill me! He’s insane.
Angel raises his eyebrows
ANGEL
He’s tiny.
CARRIE
Please help.
ANGEL
It’s okay-
Angel snaps the seatbelt and snatches Carrie out of the car, he throws her against the wall and lifts an axe out, swinging it right through her neck.
ANGEL
I’ll take care of you
Carrie reverts to her demon form as her mutilated body falls to the floor.
CONNOR
How did…
ANGEL
You can just tell these things. Nice moves.
CONNOR
You too
WESLEY
When you two are ready…
CUT TO.
INT. CARPARK – NIGHT
ANGEL, ATHENA, WESLEY and CONNOR leap out of the car to see Spike smoking a cigarette. All the people have frozen as they were.
CONNOR
What happened?
SPIKE
Dunno, not complainin’ though
ANGEL
Wes?
WESLEY
I guess killing their mother prevented them from existing, they’re effectively corpses
CONNOR
Bailey?
WESLEY
No. As far as I can see the human aspects are still alive
(to Athena)
We need that crystal to remove the infection
Things fall silent as the elevator pings. Gwen and Gunn speedily walk out, freezing as they see the gang
ANGEL
Gunn
GUNN
What are you guys…
(at demon people)
Oh
WESLEY
Gwen.
GWEN
Hey
WESLEY
Gwen, is that crystal…
GWEN
Mine? Correct.
ATHENA
That’s the crystal
GUNN
What crystal?
ANGEL
Connor’s class mates got infected by a demon, apparently that crystal is the only thing that will remove it
GUNN
Guess that explains why we were attacked by a bunch of these dudes at Berkley and Hanson
ATHENA
Told ya
WESLEY
I told you actually
ATHENA
Whatever. I was right.
GWEN
Hello! Not using the crystal – this thing is worth 7 million dollars, it’s only worth 4 without it’s power
CONNOR
Can I have one?
SPIKE
Me too!
GUNN
Gwen…
GWEN stares at GUNN hard.
GWEN
Gunn
GUNN
These are innocent people, kids
CONNOR
HEY!
(beat)
I mean, continue, save people
GWEN
Fine. But you owe me. ALL of you
ANGEL
(to Gunn)
Thanks
GUNN starts to walk with Gwen
GUNN
Just deliver it back to us when you’re done
The two continue to walk as Angel watches Gunn leave again.
CUT TO.
INT. HAIR SALON – NIGHT.
The place is empty, still and silent. Darkness buries the walls and the mute of the room is suddenly disrupted by…
OW!
Harmony stands up having just climbed and fallen through the window. She brushes herself off and climbs onto a stool to talk out of the window
HARMONY
Nina?
NINA (O.S)
What?
HARMONY
Argh!
Harmony leaps down from the stool to see Nina who is shining a torch in her eye and holding Angels skeleton key in her hand.
HARMONY
You made me climb through that window for nothing
NINA
I didn’t make you, I just didn’t prevent you
HARMONY
Whatever, okay – let’s just do the job and
(looks around)
Is this the right place?
NINA
The guy said his salon was haunted
HARMONY
Haunted?! I thought he said hunted!
NINA
How can a salon be hunted?
HARMONY
Oh sure, the logic comes out now!
NINA
Can we just do this thing and go back to the hotel? I don’t want to miss Angel
HARMONY
Sounds to me like you already do
NINA
You know what I meant
(beat)
Possibly not
HARMONY
Hey I’m not just some blonde you know!?
NINA
No?
HARMONY
No! I’m a kick ass secretary and a good fighter! I almost broke Hamilton’s neck!
NINA
You almost got everyone killed by sleeping with him and betraying everyone
HARMONY
Picky, picky
NINA
Face it Harmony, you can’t be good
HARMONY
Don’t start with the soul thing! Spike went sort of good before his soul!
NINA
He was forced into vegetarianism, that’s not going good
HARMONY
I could be good!
NINA
Sure, and I could NOT turn into a wolf every month
HARMONY
Hey, have you ever… you know… at the same time?
NINA
What?
HARMONY
Had both “times of the month” at the same time
NINA turns and shines the light directly into Harmony’s eye, she’s not impressed. The two stand there saying nothing as a large clanging is heard
HARMONY
Oh god, what was that?
Nina steps to Harmony’s side
NINA
It’s okay…
Both girls burst into screams as the lights flicker on around them.
CUT TO.
EXT. LOS ANGELES – NIGHT.
The gang are walking the several miles back to the hotel – apparently after monster battering and a crash, cars aren’t going to travel well when holding five people.
ATHENA walks at the back with Angel and Connor just in front of her, Wesley and Spike walk at the front.
ANGEL
You okay?
CONNOR
I’m cool. I should probably get back and check that Bailey isn’t completely in need of therapy
ANGEL
Connor
CONNOR
I know, you’re sorry.
ANGEL
I am
CONNOR
Bai said he spoke with you, he can be helpful however interfering
ANGEL
He’s a good kid.
CONNOR
Tonight was weird – the whole leaping across building and stuff, felt like a real mission you know?
ANGEL
Kinda do
CONNOR
I guess I could get use to it, I don’t know
ANGEL
Nobody’s gonna make you sign up for the team Connor, you do what you’re ready for when you’re ready for it
Connor looks quietly towards the floor
ANGEL
So how are your parents?
CONNOR looks up at Angel who forces a smile
CONNOR
They’re… okay
SPIKE (O.S)
Illyria!
Everyone stops and looks at him like he’s insane as he stares up at the top of a building, waiting for her to jump down
ATHENA
Did he drink off milk again?
SPIKE
She’s around – I can smell her
CONNOR
That is so cool
Wesley edges away from the group quietly, dissapearing down an alley
ATHENA
Guess you’re smelling things, other than your B.O-derant
SPIKE
Funny
Wesley steps back round to the group, horrified, he holds his hand out to Spike – blood is smeared all over it
WESLEY
Is this what you smell?
CUT TO.
INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT
Illyria is still in the tank, she’s looking weaker and weaker, her eyes barely open as a team of armed troops surround the tank.
Scientists are examining blood samples as Stein walks down the stairs looking extremely satisfied.
STEIN
Miller
GRAEME
Sir
STEIN
Begin the next phase – we need to perform the other tasks before it becomes too late.
GRAEME
Sir.
Graeme marches off, following by four troops.
STEIN
Well Illyria…
(smirk)
looks like it’s just the two of us
