CORDELIA (V.O)
Previously on Angel

SEASON III: Sleep Tight

JUSTINE slits WESLEY’S throat.

Season II: Forgiving

You’re a dead man! I am gonna kill you!! You took
my son. My son!! You’re a dead man!

Season II: Tomorrow

WESLEY and LILAH after sex.

LILAH
Just don’t think of me after I leave.

WESLEY
I wasn’t thinking of you when you were here.

Season III: Tomorrow

CONNOR
You murdered my father.

ANGEL
No. I didn’t. I swear.

JUSTINE
He’s lying.

ANGEL
I am not lying and she knows it.

ANGEL
Connor?! Connor, never forget that I am your
father and that I love you ... Some day you will
learn the truth - and you will hate yourself. Don’t.
It is not your fault.

CONNOR and JUSTINE slide the two rods that lock the casket lid in place into their channels, and Justine welds them into place.

They move to one end of the coffin and push it off the back of the boat.

Season III: Tomorrow

SKIP
You’re a great warrior, Cordelia. The battle that
we are all apart of is fought on many different
planes and dimensions. You’ve outgrown this
one. You’ve become - a higher being.

SEASON IV: Confliction

WESLEY explains why he brought ANGEL back to LYNWOOD and LILAH

SEASON IV: Confliction

FRED sees the Wolfram and Hart logo on WESLEY’S computer.

FRED
I’ve thought God knows how many times over the
last five months that if we went to Wesley, he
would sort this mess out. Now I realize you were
too busy being evil to fight evil…

Season IV: Where You Belong

CONNOR confronts ANGEL

CONNOR
I’m so sorry.

ANGEL and CONNOR hug.

CONNOR
(whispering)
I’m so sorry.

Season IV: Where You Belong

ATTRACTIVE WOMAN
Well, I’m sorry! If you want me to go I’ll just….

She makes a move to go. WESLEY stops her.

WESLEY
No, no. I should be the one who is sorry. And yeah,
I have had a bad day.

ATTRACTIVE WOMAN
Tell me about it. How about buying me a drink?

WESLEY
Or maybe we just cut to the chase.

TEASER

Scene: Park [Ext.], Night
Camera pans over a park showing assorted equipment such as see-saws, slides. No sound is heard except for crickets chirping.

The Camera moves to the sky and continues to move showing that many stars are out. The camera stops when it gets to a bright full moon.

Suddenly an orange Frisbee flies past the moon and laughter is heard. The view we have of the moon widens and we see CORDELIA, GUNN, FRED, CONNOR and ANGEL playing Frisbee in a deserted park.

GUNN catches the Frisbee we saw earlier with one hand.

GUNN
How do you like that? One hand! I'm pretty good
at this.

CORDELIA
Have you played Frisbee before GUNN?

GUNN
Oh yeah! Me and my gang played Frisbee all the
time after we dusted some big vamps.

FRED
Really? That sounds fun…
(embarrassed)
Oh you were being sarcastic.

GUNN throws the Frisbee to CONNOR. CONNOR catches it but fumbles and quickly drops it.

ANGEL
Don’t worry about it CONNOR, it can be a tough game.
Different people are good at different things.

CONNOR
(frustrated)
I've seen dogs catch these discs in their mouths.

ANGEL
I've never seen dogs wipe out entire nests of
vampires though.

FRED
In Pylea I once saw a dog-man kill several...
(trails off)
It’s not important.

CONNOR reluctantly throws the Frisbee towards FRED. It is a good throw.

CONNOR
I guess all it takes is a little practice.

FRED jumps for the Frisbee but she falls into GUNN. They both fall onto the ground.

CORDELIA
Or a lot of practice.

CONNOR
(concerned)
Are you okay?

FRED
(grins at GUNN)
Me? I'm fine. My boyfriend broke my fall.

GUNN groans.

GUNN
I am a little hurt here, maybe you could kiss it and
make it better.

FRED leans in and the two kiss.

ANGEL
Hey GUNN! Throw it over here. I want to have some
fun too.

GUNN remains to lie on the ground and he throws the Frisbee to ANGEL. ANGEL pretends he does not see the Frisbee coming but then he catches it.

ANGEL
Did you see that CONNOR? That was a pretty nice
catch?

CORDELIA
(interrupting)
Speaking of ‘nice catches’ maybe you could talk to
me more instead of going on about your Frisbee abilities.

ANGEL quickly throws the Frisbee at CORDELIA. She catches it.

CORDELIA
You’re not the only one here who can catch these
things.

CONNOR
Can I try again?

CORDELIA
Sure thing.

CORDELIA throws the Frisbee at CONNOR. He catches it then gives a satisfied smile.

ANGEL
(proud)
Did you see that? Man, he has an arm like a Tabari
demon. He probably gets it from his Dad.

CORDELIA glares at ANGEL for his somewhat ego-filled outburst.

ANGEL
Or... maybe it's just natural. Anyway these jobless
nights have to be spent doing something. Demon
hunting has its perks but I guess there's other ways
to do the whole bonding thing.

CONNOR
So we're gonna be doing this more often?

ANGEL smiles, he is glad his son is having a good time.

ANGEL
I plan on making sure you get to do everything you
should've done growing up.

CORDELIA smiles at the two of them.

CORDELIA
Everything seems to be working out.

GUNN has his arm around FRED

GUNN
And see? There is a world outside of that box of
yours, baby.

FRED smiles.

Scene: Wolfram and Hart, Wesley's Office [Int.], Night
WESLEY is staring at his computer screen. We can’t see what is on it but he is clicking his mouse frequently. A file gets dropped on his desk. Camera pans up to show that it was LILAH who dropped it.

LILAH
Hey gorgeous.

WESLEY glares at her.

WESLEY
I don’t see why you are here. I finished my reports
on ANGEL and his friends.

LILAH
Don’t you remember when you used to fit into that
category?

WESLEY
Yes I remember. I remember that back then I saw
a lot less of you. One of the highlights.

LILAH
Isn’t that nice. You finished your work on ANGEL
Investigations... JASON’S translation work seems
to be going along quite nicely. Now it is time for
your first real assignment.

WESLEY
Why do I suddenly feel the urge to yawn?

LILAH pushes the files toward WESLEY. WESLEY looks down at them. He scans the pages.

LILAH
So you understand?

WESLEY
You're serious, right?

LILAH
Have I ever been anything else with you?

WESLEY
You said that with a straight face. I'm impressed.

LILAH glares at him.

LILAH
We're stepping up our little project. I think you realize
what your little task over the past few months has
been about.

WESLEY looks down at the papers.

WESLEY
Yes, I have to split up the members of ANGEL
Investigations.

LILAH
Are there any problems with that?

Close up on WESLEY’S face.

WESLEY
None whatsoever.

CREDITS

ACT I

Scene: Wolfram and Hart, Wesley's Office [Int.], Night
WESLEY and LILAH are in the same places as before. LILAH doesn't take her eyes off WESLEY.

LILAH
This isn't going to be like the last time. You were
the only thing that held them together when
ANGEL touched his dark side the last time, you
were the leader...
(smiles)
...but with Mr. Wyndham-Price playing for the
other team... I think you get the picture.

WESLEY
(interrupting)
You think that by separating the team, Wolfram
and Hart will have an easier time taking care of
ANGEL.

LILAH smiles.

LILAH
Handsome and smart. That’s the plan.

WESLEY
You know as well as I do that ANGEL is strong,
just by getting rid of his super-friends doesn’t
mean you can beat him.

LILAH
No, but I'm pretty sure it gives us good odds.
Don’t screw this up.

WESLEY smiles

WESLEY
(snidely)
What makes you think I would do that?

LILAH
You have Wolfram and Hart’s full resources at
your disposal here. Our psychics and actors may
prove to be very useful in this situation.

WESLEY
Thanks for the offer LILAH, but I think I know how I
am going to do this.

LILAH
Do you mind sharing?

WESLEY
But that would just spoil the fun.

LILAH
Fine, but I just want you to do well on this.

WESLEY raises an eyebrow. He's not convinced.

WESLEY
No you don’t.

LILAH
You’re right, I don’t.
(pausing for a minute)
Just don't get distracted by one of those tramps again.
I don't like you wasting your well-earned cash on
bad sex.

WESLEY
(a bit worried, offguard)
Who told you that?

LILAH
That’s not important.

WESLEY
So what if I was? That's not jealousy I sense is it?

LILAH
Not at all. You can spend those five minutes of fun
elsewhere.

WESLEY
Who said they were fun?
(beat)
Now, if you will excuse me, I've got some very important work to do. You know,
what I do to get that well-earned cash I waste.

LILAH hesitantly leaves the room. Camera shows WESLEY going back to his computer. The camera goes behind WESLEY and we see that he is playing a game of Solitaire.

Scene: Hyperion Hotel, Angel's Room [Int.], Night
ANGEL and CORDELIA have been making cupcakes. The two are sitting on ANGEL’S bed facing each other. The cupcakes are finished, the two of them are just applying cream to them. The two of them work silently for a few seconds before ANGEL speaks:

ANGEL
Why are we making cupcakes again?

CORDELIA
Because we are going to surprise CONNOR, FRED
and GUNN.

ANGEL
(slight smile)
That’s right. The family thing again.

CORDELIA
I think it's something we all need right now. After
everything that's happened... after all of us being
apart for so long...

ANGEL
True. I don’t see why you couldn't have made the
cupcakes and I just…

CORDELIA
Watched me make the cupcakes?

ANGEL
(somewhat awkward)
Well…yeah. I would have been full of encouragement
though. I am just not used to this. I've never been
much of a chef.

ANGEL looks down.

ANGEL
(continued)
But I am glad I am spending time with you.

ANGEL looks up again. CORDELIA and his eyes meet.

The two continue making cupcakes. CORDELIA reaches out and holds ANGEL’S hand. She smiles at him.

CORDELIA leans in and the two of them kiss.

ANGEL is unaware that he is squeezing a tube of cream which squirts all over CORDELIA’S shirt.

CORDELIA
Thanks, you sure know how to ruin a good moment.

ANGEL
(embarrassed)
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.

CORDELIA squeezes her can of cream which squirts all over ANGEL’S shirt.

CORDELIA
(mimicking ANGEL)
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.

CORDELIA laughs and ANGEL and her continue to squirt cream all over each other. They are laughing and having a good time. CORDELIA suddenly stops and closes her eyes.

ANGEL
(concerned)
Did I get some in your eyes, because you know what’s
good for…

CORDELIA
(interrupting)
Shhh, vision.

ANGEL
Oh.

We see from CORDELIA’S POV a blurred image of a demon committing suicide by jumping off a bridge. The demon appear to be around 6 feet, a bluish-green color and no special features. The scenes in the vision keep jumping from one of a close-up on the demon’s crying face and him jumping off the bridge. The crying keeps getting louder.

CORDELIA
Uh oh.

ANGEL
Uh oh?

CORDELIA
Yeah, interesting vision. A demon is committing suicide
by jumping off the Strathcona Bridge.

ANGEL
A demon?!?

CORDELIA
A demon, or someone who seriously doesn’t care about
their image.

ANGEL
Was that it? Was it in any danger?

CORDELIA
You mean apart from it hurling itself off a bridge?

ANGEL
I mean, any idea what led it there?

CORDELIA
It didn’t look like it. He was crying a lot though.

ANGEL
Demons usually aren’t big with crying.

CORDELIA shrugs.

CORDELIA
Well maybe he had a hard day at work, or none of the
cool demons would hang out with him.

ANGEL
Let’s go.

ANGEL heads for the door.

CORDELIA
You…may want to change.

She smiles at ANGEL'S messy shirt.

Scene: Hyperion Hote, Lobby [Int.], Night
ANGEL and CORDELIA walk down the stairs leading to the lobby. ANGEL throws a jacket over his shoulders.

ANGEL and CORDELIA continue to walk to the front door as they talk. ANGEL puts his jacket on as he talks as well. Very rushed.

ANGEL
CORDY had a vision. We’re on it.

GUNN
Need any help?

ANGEL
(calm)
Just a demon.

A WOMAN walks into the lobby.

ANGEL and CORDELIA continue walking to the front door as they speak. Rushed as well.

ANGEL
(cheery)
Welcome to ANGEL Investigations.

CORDELIA
We help the helpless!

ANGEL and CORDELIA are now out of the hotel.

The WOMAN is in her late thirties. She has brown hair and is very attractive. She is sobbing uncontrollably and carrying a black purse.

WOMAN
Can someone help me?

GUNN
That's what we do.

FRED
What seems to be the…

The WOMAN walks right by FRED and goes into GUNN’S arm, crying.

FRED
(continued)
Problem?

WOMAN
Oh it was terrible, terrible!

GUNN
What was terrible?

WOMAN
He killed him
(crying)
Oh my God he killed my best friend!

FRED and GUNN get more attentive at this point.

GUNN
Who did?

WOMAN
You're probably going to think I'm mad... I know
you deal with unusual things but...

GUNN
It wasn't human?

The WOMAN nods.

WOMAN
I'm mad aren't I?

FRED
No... of course not... If there's anything we can do
for you we'll do it.

GUNN
If you can just tell us a little more about yourself.

WOMAN
My name's... NANCY... I live a few blocks away from
here... And...

She breaks down again. GUNN moves to comfort her.

GUNN
I could get you a coffee if you want...

NANCY
Th-thank you... A coffee would be...

She sniffs. She can't seem to speak anymore. She just nods slowly.

GUNN walks out of the camera’s view.

FRED
I know this may seem tough, but we can help you.

GUNN walks back into the camera’s view. He has two coffee mugs with him, one for himself, one for NANCY. He puts the coffee mugs on a desk, conveniently next to ANGEL’S coffee mug. NANCY almost takes ANGEL’S mug.

NANCY
Is that...
(pause)
blood?

FRED
No... umm, it's... tomato juice.

NANCY casually takes out a vial of a white substance and pours it into GUNN’S coffee when he is not looking. NANCY walks over to a desk that has a number of books stacked up and haphazardly knocks them over.

GUNN
Let me help you with that.

GUNN reaches for the books. NANCY stops him. She puts her hand on GUNN'S.

NANCY
No, no, I have it. I'm just so clumsy I can’t do
anything right. I'm sure a guy like you must
never screw up.

GUNN
(smiles a little)
Well, I am pretty cautious.

Camera focuses on FRED who seems a little wary of NANCY. It stays on her for a few seconds.

Camera turns to her POV and we see NANCY smiles back and GUNN and his arm as he helps her back to her feet.

Camera goes back to its original view of the lobby.

NANCY
You must work out.

GUNN
Well I... uh... I try to fit it in every now and again.

NANCY
When you're not out helping the helpless?

GUNN smiles in response but says nothing. He takes a sip of his coffee.

NANCY
(continued, smiling)
Well I am glad I met a nice, strong guy like you.

GUNN
Well a pretty woman like yourself shouldn’t be left
alone.

Camera focuses on FRED who becomes extremely angered about this remark.

FRED walks up to the two of them. She gives GUNN a pointed glare. He doesn't even seem to notice he's doing anything.

FRED
Let’s hear more about this... thing.

NANCY
Oh yes, it was terrible. He was red, with a flaky kind
of skin and horns coming out of his arms and head.
He also had something coming out of his left hand.

GUNN
What happened?

NANCY
I was just walking home to my apartment from
shopping, like usual when I heard a loud noise. I
turned around and I saw the monster. He punched
me and sent me falling and when I was down he….
(starts crying)
He killed her... he killed her...

GUNN
And he hit you? Are you alright?

NANCY
I'm okay now... but maybe you could look at the
bruise later though and tell me if it is serious.

FRED
(interrupting, a little angered)
What was your friend’s name?

NANCY
PHILLIPA... We've known each other since grade
school. We always said we'd be together but now...
the police said they'd do something but... Oh God,
they don't know anything. They don't understand!

GUNN tries to sooth her.

GUNN
Ssshhh... it's okay.

Tears are rolling down NANCY'S face.

NANCY
She's gone... I can't believe she's gone...

FRED
Well we should probably research this thing... I
mean, if this is totally random, it could easily kill
again...

NANCY looks up at GUNN.

NANCY
I still don't feel safe. What if that thing is trying to
get me too... I saw it and now it could...

She grabs GUNN'S arm desperately.

NANCY
(continued)
You're not going to leave me alone are you? I need a
strong man by my side.

GUNN
I guess you could stay here for a while. I need to
look through some books... You could help me
identify the creature you saw.

NANCY
O-of course...

FRED appears to look even more worried now. Trouble in paradise?

GUNN
Alright then! Let’s hit the books!

FRED
(worried)
B-but….CHARLES... Maybe we should...

Suddenly NANCY drops her purse and several of its contents fall out. The camera focuses on the group of items but it then closes in on a business card... with Wolfram and Hart's logo, WESLEY'S name and a phone number on it.

FADE TO BLACK
