TEASER
Scene: LA Skyline [Ext.], Night
We look at the night sky, the bright stars twinkling in the distance, some almost appearing to dance along the tops of the massive skyscrapers that are clearly visible.

Panning slowly down we see two figures on the roof of the Hyperion. They are lying back looking up towards the stars.

We close in towards them. ANGEL has his arm around CORDELIA. She looks towards him and smiles.

CORDELIA
You know, there's something wrong with this...

ANGEL
With what?

CORDELIA
Being up here when I'm pretty sure there's a ton
of work to be done.

ANGEL looks pointedly at CORDELIA.

ANGEL
Have you had a vision?

CORDELIA
Well... no...

ANGEL
Then maybe we should just enjoy the peace.

CORDELIA
Okay, where's the real Angel and can we have him
back any time soon?

ANGEL
What?!?

CORDELIA
Y'know, you're supposed to be all tortured and
determined to save everyone... and here we are,
sitting on the hotel looking at the stars. Maybe
it doesn't seem weird to you but, well...

ANGEL sighs a little. He moves his arm from around CORDELIA and looks her in the eyes.

ANGEL
This is the talk isn't it?

CORDELIA
I thought you know all about the birds and the bees.

ANGEL
That's not what I mean and you know it. The talk. The
one about us and how far we can go.
(laughs to himself)
You know, I was starting to think I'd be the one who'd
initiate this.

CORDELIA
So why didn't you?

ANGEL
(shrugs)
I don't know. I guess that after everything that happened...
that maybe we should just enjoy the time we've got
together... recent drug induced evilness not counting.

CORDELIA takes one of ANGEL'S hands in her own. She looks at it for a while then back at him.

CORDELIA
I know but we need to do this. We need to know how
far we can take it... We know where you and love can
lead, Angel... and I don't want to think that I'm going
to be the cause of that.

ANGEL leans forward and kisses CORDELIA on the forehead.

ANGEL
You won't be...

CORDELIA
(mock hurt)
So you don't think I'm good enough to turn you evil??

ANGEL
No. It's not that... I mean... I...
(realises what she's doing and smiles)
Sure you're good enough. And when I'm evil I'll personally
torture you until you scream.

CORDELIA is suddenly serious again.

CORDELIA
You know, with all this worrying, I doubt our old friend
Angelus has a hope in hell of rearing his ugly head.

ANGEL
(raises an eyebrow)
Ugly? Gee, thanks.

CORDELIA'S seriousness is broken down again. She hits ANGEL playfully on the arm.

CORDELIA
Don't do that!

ANGEL
Okay, okay. I just think maybe we should take things
as they come... that's all. You understand?

CORDELIA nods. She looks at ANGEL and notices something on his neck.

CORDELIA
What's that?

ANGEL
What's what?

CORDELIA
That... on your neck.

She leans in closer and looks at the back of his neck. There's a weird black marking there. It's a little like a scar but there's something organised about it. She touches it.

CORDELIA
When did you get this? It looks like a scar...

ANGEL
Scar? I don't get scars... vampire healing, you know.

CORDELIA
Yeah, I guess but this is just... weird. Did any of those
Tube demon things claw at you?

ANGEL
Maybe. I don't know...

ANGEL reaches around and takes CORDELIA into his arms.

ANGEL
(cont.)
...but let's not worry about that when we've got other
things to be doing.

He leans in to kiss CORDELIA. She stops him.

CORDELIA
Just promise me one thing.

ANGEL looks at her, questioning her with his eyes.

CORDELIA
(cont.)
Don't turn evil or psychotic again.

ANGEL
I won't. I promise.

Their lips finally lock as we pull out and see the LA sky around them again. The pull away and look up at the stars once more.

We have a quick flashy cut. We move across the city as the sky changes from night to day.


Scene: Wolfram and Hart [Ext.], Morning
Establishing shot. We look up at the massive building from the viewpoint of someone standing just outside. It's towering over us.

LINWOOD
(voiceover)
This way!


Scene: Wolfram and Hart, Corridor [Int.], Morning
Several ARMED SECURITY GUARDS storm down a corridor. They are closely followed by LINWOOD who is in turn flanked by a PSYCHIC.

LINWOOD is looking seriously pissed. Like someone spat in his Corn Flakes... then poured sour milk over them.

LINWOOD
Here!

The GUARDS and PSYCHIC stop at a door

LINWOOD
I think it's time we took out the trash, don't you?

He nods to the GUARDS. The large, burly men pull out their guns and jerk the door open suddenly!
