INT. WESLEYS APARTMENT – NIGHT
ANGEL and WESLEY walk through the door, flicking the light on Angel freezes
WESLEY
I should be able to find her with a simple location spell but…
ANGEL
Wes, we’re not alone
Wesley turns back to Angel – as he looks round again, the two of them have guns pointed from all directions
FADE TO BLACK
FADE IN FROM BLACK
ANGEL
You know, lately I’ve had a real taste for kicking military ass
ANGEL doesn’t even make a move before he is hit with a tranquiliser gun. Wesley freezes to the spot, staring as Angel falls down, he raises his hands.
GRAEME
Mr. Pryce – if you ever want to see Illyria, or the world again – it is in your best interests to join us willingly.
WESLEY
Who are you?
GRAEME
We’ll explain soon enough.
WESLEY
Ah yes, the ever trusty “later you shall know all”
GRAEME
We’re not trying to make things difficult Mr. Pryce – we’re just trying to make things better
WESLEY
Better for who?
CUT TO.
INT. WESLEYS APARTMENT – NIGHT
Time has clearly passed as Gunn comes up to Wesley’s door. Athena is slapping Angel on the face.
GUNN
What’s goin’ on?
ATHENA
You wanna try waking him up?
GUNN swings his hand back and rather willingly slaps Angel across the cheek, smiling as he rouses him
GUNN
You think he needs a real wake up?
ATHENA
Not so much.
(thinks)
Later maybe
ANGEL
(stirring)
Wes…
ATHENA
Angel, what happened?
ANGEL
Gunn? Cordy?
Athena steps back a bit, Angel wakes up more.
ANGEL
Athena. Wh- Where’s Wesley?
Angel is suddenly alert to his feet as he looks around for his friend.
GUNN
Calm down.
ANGEL
What are you doing here?
GUNN
Came to see a friend about a thing
ANGEL
Did you see Wesley? Did he go with them?
ATHENA
Go with who? Angel! You need to calm down!
ANGEL
The Initiative… or something like them…
GUNN
Those army dudes?
ANGEL
Did you see them?
GUNN
NO but, why would Wes…?
ANGEL
They have Illyria
ATHENA looks lost in herself as she holds her stomach
GUNN
Athena?
ATHENA
I’m fine. We should… can we find them?
ANGEL
Spike’s got a scent for Illyrias blood now. We should call him. Gunn, are you in?
GUNN
I’m in. For Wes.
CUT TO.
INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT
Wesley comes down the stairs, closely guarded by Graeme and the other soldiers. He is bought up to Stein.
STEIN
Mr. Pryce
WESLEY
Wyndham-Pryce
STEIN
Yes. Well.
(pause)
My name is Frederick Stein and don’t think I haven’t had all the F.Stein jokes because I really have
WESLEY
I guess it’s good that I’m not in the mood for humour then isn’t it?
STEIN
I suppose it is. Do you know why you’re here?
WESLEY
Where’s Illyria?
STEIN
Ah, so she is the reason that you came without a fight – you really do care for it.
WESLEY
Where is she?
STEIN
She?
WESLEY
Illyria
STEIN moves aside to reveal a withered Illyria, floating in a tank
ILLYRIA
(faint)
Wesley
WESLEY leaps forward only to be zapped by Stein, holding a stun gun. Wesley crumbles to the floor holding his stomach – he has watered eyes and a red face as he stares at her.
FLASH TO WHITE
FRED
I won’t let them get me…
FLASH TO WHITE
Wesley closes his eyes as a single tear squeezes out
WESLEY
What do you want from me?
STEIN
To change your future
CUT TO.
INT. HAIR SALON – NIGHT
Harmony and Nina are still screaming in the middle of the room as several objects begin to fly around them
CUT TO.
EXT. LOS ANGELES – NIGHT
SPIKE and ATHENA stop at a sewer entrance – the last trace of either Wesley or Illyria
SPIKE
Nothing like an underground holding cell for the bloody initiative
ATHENA
You’re sure it’s them?
SPIKE
It all fits, cept the Wesley part – maybe he’s bait
Athena looks with concern before pulling out her phone.
INT. GWENS APARTMENT – NIGHT
GUNN is stood next to Angel and Gwen as they examine blue prints of the underground of Los Angeles.
GUNN
We’re on our way
GUNN hangs up the phone and turns to Angel and Gwen
GUNN
It’s lead underground – this map isn’t giving anything away
GWEN
Strange that these secret operations don’t advertise
ANGEL
Where are they?
GUNN
Meeting us on the 54/23 tunnel.
Angel heads to the door before turning to Gwen
GWEN
I’m going to charge you guys soon
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS – NIGHT
GWEN
Double time! This is disgusting
SPIKE
What’s the matter? Can’t handle a little sewage
GWEN
Not really a day job
SPIKE
Try having super sensitive smelling
GWEN
See now if I had that, I would never be able to be around you…
SPIKE
Why’s that? The whiff of perfection overbaring?
GWEN
You smell like dead people
SPIKE
Ouch.
ANGEL
Guys, focus
ATHENA begins tagging back, a nervous look on her face she walks rather quickly towards a tiny side tunnel, she observes the others before pushing a door in the tunnel.
ATHENA
Guys, down here.
Everyone stops and moves back to her
ANGEL
How did you find that?
ATHENA
Lucky guess
GUNN
Let’s go
SPIKE
Um, not to poop on the party but…
The gang turn to see four large demon guards – all wired up, blocking both exits.
GWEN
I can do this.
SPIKE
Take’s two to tango. You three go.
ANGEL
Come on
ANGEL, GUNN and ATHENA crawl into the tiny space, leading through to a gradually bigger space in which they can stand – a door is there with a security code on it.
ATHENA
I’ll do it
GUNN
And set off the alarms? I don’t think so
ATHENA
Security locks are easy, they think that we all think simple codes are too obvious, so they always go with them.
Athena keys in 001234, the door unlatches.
GUNN
Check you out
ANGEL eyes Athena up and down before following her inside.
CUT TO.
INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT.
WESLEY is now in the same tank as Illyria – wires attaching them together – both their heads are just above water level.
WESLEY
Illyria
ILLYRIA
Mmph
WESLEY
If you can hear me… I have to say we’re going to get out of this alive
ILLYRIA slowly lifts her head, her eyes flickering open.
ILLYRIA
Wesley.
WESLEY
Yes, it’s me
ILLYRIA
They…
WESLEY
Shh…
Under the water, Wesley reaches his hand out and takes hold of Illyria’s. They link together, floating in the water as sparks literally pass between them.
STEIN (O.S)
Separate at once
He triggers the zap which forces them apart
STEIN
DO you not understand how unpredictable Illyria is! Any form of contact between the two of you could trigger it
WESLEY
Trigger what?
STEIN
The creation
WESLEY
Creation of what?
STEIN
The two of you – together, it’s practically written that it will deliver your spawn! A being so unpredictable and powerful that being born into the real world could end everything as we know it.
WESLEY
How do I know you’re not making this all up?
STEIN
You don’t. But I am telling you that unless the two of you are permanently sterilised both medically and mystically then you WILL have a child and unless that child is kept in controlled conditions it could be any number of things.
(pause)
Your wisdom and world knowledge combined with the power of an old one and the instability of your home life could cause a greater disaster than Connor’s original life
WESLEY
What do you know about Connor?
ANGEL (O.S)
That he’s never going near him
STEIN turns around to see ANGEL throwing Graeme off the edge of a balcony. Athena and Gunn are either side of him.
STEIN
You!
ANGEL
Me
Angel jumps down and springs towards Stein, hurling him across the room
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS – NIGHT.
GWEN
This isn’t working
SPIKE
Come on bright spark, you’re harder than that
Spike slams a demon into the wall
GWEN pauses before staring at her hands and peeling her gloves off.
CUT TO.
INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT.
Angel prowls towards a crawling Stein and turns him around, grabbing him by the collar he smacks him in the face.
ANGEL
Never. Ever. Breathe my sons name. Never touch my friends and NEVER come into MY city with some crappy military scheme.
STEIN
You don’t understand! The world needs you to save it in the final battle – this being, whatever they create, it will destroy you before the end.
ATHENA steps back
FLASH TO WHITE
A child is wired up in the tanks
FLASH TO WHITE
Stein looks over Angels shoulder at a fearful Athena.
CUT TO.
INT. SEWERS – NIGHT.
GWEN slams her hands into the water, electricity flying everywhere.
CUT TO.
INT. LABORATORY – NIGHT
ANGEL begins to turn to see what Stein is staring at as all of the lights flicker off around them.
ANGEL
Gunn, get Wesley.
GUNN charges through towards Wesley as an emergency light comes on – guards begin to flood out. Angel grabs a wire and ties stein to the outside of the tank.
ANGEL
Stick around.
GUNN beats up most of the pending guards as Angel and Athena take on the others. Gunn looks over to see the water level in Wesley’s tank is increasing. He grabs his cell phone from his pocket and hurls it as the glass full force – the tank shatters as the water floods out.
ATHENA
Come on!
WESLEY stare up at Athena, baffled as she stands at the top of the stares
ATHENA
We’re going to die if we don’t get out, grab Illyria
Wesley turns his attention to a barely alive Illyria, he grabs her in both arms and hands her to Gunn.
WESLEY
Go.
GUNN
What are you going to do?
WESLEY turns and stares at Angel who is fighting off the last few.
Wesley walks over to Stein and pulls out a knife
STEIN
No… you’re making a huge mistake she’s dangerous – you need to stop her…
WESLEY smiles before slamming the knife into the water tube – water spraying and flooding out all around.
WESLEY
Come on ANGEL!
Angel gives one last punch before rushing towards the door, they slam it behind them as water floods up with incredible speed, all of the conscious guards make a run for the door only to find that it’s shut.
Graeme begins to spark as the water hits his feet – within minutes his skin begins to melt off – he’s not Graeme. He’s a carbon copy.
EXT. LABORATORY – DAY.
Gwen wields the door shut on the underground laboratory as Wesley holds Illyria again, stroking her hair back.
Angel and Gunn exchange looks as Athena stands in the corner – Angels glare soon turns towards her.
END OF PART THREE
INT. WESLEYS APARTMENT – NIGHT
WESLEY is asleep on the sofa as Illyria comes from his room. She sits and stares at him sleeping.
WESLEY
You know that I’m awake
ILLYRIA
You almost died for me
WESLEY
Hmmm…
ILLYRIA
Why?
He doesn’t give an answer. Illyria moves towards him and climbs onto the sofa bed, Wesley shifts awkwardly at first – she’s in her Fred form. He moves to the other side and remains silent.
ILLYRIA
Why?
She transforms to herself, he looks at her briefly before relaxing. She slowly moves her arm so that it is around his, her hand touching his.
ILLYRIA
Is this right?
WESLEY
I don’t know
They spend the rest of the night in silence as both lay hand in hand, eyes wide open.
CUT TO.
INT. HYPERION HOTEL – NIGHT.
GUNN trots down the stairs as Angel haunts the lobby
GUNN
Just getting’ some stuff
ANGEL
Gunn listen…
GUNN
Don’t ask me back
ANGEL
You did a really good job tonight, a really good job
GUNN
Don’t I always
Silence
GUNN
I’m not coming back to work for you Angel, it’s not me any more
ANGEL
I understand
GUNN
But the mission is me.
(pause)
I won’t come back to work for you. I wanna come back to work with you.
ANGEL looks up at Gunn
GUNN
A team.
ANGEL smiles as Gunn grabs the door handle.
GUNN
As of tomorrow, Gwens better to see leave the shower.
Gunn and Angel pass nods as he leaves. Angel takes a moment before walking into Athena’s office. She's sleeping on the desk.
FLASH TO WHITE
INT. LABORATORY
The entire place is full of water as Stein's dead body floats past - the same frighted glare, frozen to his face.
FLASH TO WHITE
Athena jumps up
ANGEL
Seemed a little jumpy tonight
ATHENA
I’m feeling a little ill. I’m gonna take some time off
ANGEL
That’s fine.
(beat)
Something scare you in there?
ATHENA
No.
ANGEL
Really? Seemed like something made you unsettled.
ATHENA
You’re seeing things.
Athena goes to move past Angel, he puts his hand out blocking her and moves right into her face
ANGEL
I know…
Athena’s eyes widen
ANGEL
…there’s something you’re not telling me.
Athena lets out a deep exhalation
ANGEL
But I will find out. I ALWAYS find out.
Athena stares at Angel as he relaxes his arm to his side
ATHENA
I have nothing you need to know.
ANGEL
We’ll see
ATHENA
I’m sure we will.
Athena rushes towards the door as Angel calls out
ANGEL
Oh…
She freezes
ANGEL
Where’s Nina?
CUT TO.
INT. HAIR SALON – NIGHT
Harmony and Nina are both still in the salon as a pair of scissors comes flying between the middle of them
