Angel
Season 5
Episode 01
"Small World"
WESLEY
Previously on Angel:
HOLLAND MANNERS
Wolfram & Hart. Our firm has always been here. We go on...no matter what.
CUT TO:
LILAH
I don't think you'll want it, but you'll take it, because this is the offer of a lifetime.
CUT TO:
GUNN
You want to run that by us one more time?
LILAH
What was unclear?
FRED
I think the part where you offered us Wolfram & Hart.
LILAH
Just the L.A. Branch.
LORNE
(chuckles) "Just the L.A. Branch." (stands, irritated) Hi, from another dimension, what the hell does that mean?
LILAH
Means we give. You win. We're moving out. The senior partners are ceding this territory to you, and to prove it, they want to give you controlling interest in our L.A. Office. You get the building, assets, personnel, letterhead, paper clips, all of it. It's yours to do with as you see fit.
CUT TO:
FRED
You found Cordy? And she's-
LILAH
Still in a coma.
CUT TO:
LILAH
You're the boss. (hands Angel the file and amulet) There'll be a limo waiting outside. It'll take you to see Connor.
ANGEL
(softly) Thank you. (walks out the door)
FRED
(watches Angel leave) Who's Connor?
Showing a clip of Angel, Wesely, Gunn, Fred, and Lorne standing in the lobby of Wolfram & Hart
LILAH (Voiceover)
Welcome to Wolfram & Hart, and enjoy your stay
Teaser
Angel's main office, Angel is leaning against his desk.
The camera cuts to a small, golden plaque that says: "Angel Smith - Wolfarm & Hart CEO"
The camera cuts to a large view of the office. Wesely walks in.
ANGEL
Hello, Wesley
WESLEY
(Nervous) Uh, hello Angel.
ANGEL
Nervous?
WESLEY
First day at the job, you know little butterflies
Fred and Gunn walk in. The camera cuts to Fred
FRED
Hey, just Gunn and I just coming early
The camera cuts back to Angel, viewing his watch
ANGEL
The meeting started three minutes ago
Pan to Fred and Gunn making faces for being late. As Lorne walks threw the doors
LORNE
Welcome loony tunes.
Zoom out to everyone standing in the office
ANGEL
I told you to never say that again Lorne
LORNE
(Walks and sits down at the now visible meeting table) Well you know me; I take every chance I get.
GUNN
So (Gunn sits down at the table) we all (Angel and Fred sit down. Angel is on the top of the table) Here?
WESLEY
Well, I have a little special guest
ANGEL
Who?
The camera pans slowly, as the camera finally reaches the front door of the office. The doors open but no one appears to be there.
WESLEY (voiceover)
No one special
The camera takes a better look at the door, as it changes its angle. Faith is there standing

ACT 1
The Hyperion, night. On the bottom of the screen it says: 'Two months earlier: July 2003' everyone is sitting together at the table, having dinner.
LORNE
A toast?
GUNN
Of course (raises his glass as everyone follows)
Camera cuts to Gunn and Fred holding hands underneath the table.
Camera cuts out to Angel
ANGEL
A toast, to new life!
LORNE (voiceover)
And better clothes!
Cut to the overview of the table
WESLEY
A whole new world of ideas, and wonder
LORNE
Yea, yea but what about the clothes?
GUNN
Better weaponry, as well
FRED
Weapons (rests her head on Gunn's shoulder)
ANGEL
Cheers.... (They all knock their glasses together and start to drink in union)...to Wolfarm & Hart
Cut to a dark Hyperion room, dark shadows are kissing.
FRED
Oh, Gunn....you've never done that before
The camera pans to across the room wall as Angel and Gunn are walking down the hallway
ANGEL
I still have a bad feeling about Wolfram & Hart
GUNN
You're not the only one; I mean we spent the past years fighting against them. And they think they can just waltz in and...
LORNE (voiceover)
Let us take over a multi-million company
The camera zooms out a little to see Lorne joining in on the conversation
LORNE
Money buys you happiness, besides we'll finally have control of everything that happens in this great city of lies and deceits
GUNN
He's right; we'll be on top of all the evil that happens
ANGEL
And the good
GUNN
And the good, yes. I think it's a good idea
ANGEL
I still have doubts
LORNE
Didn't Ally McBeal give us a 7-day trial?
GUNN
Her name is Lilah, and she only gave us 3 days to see how it is before we give our signature
ANGEL
Or we can reject them
GUNN
That's always an option, but think about it Angel!
LORNE
We'll be the icing of the polluted, industrial cake of LA
Cut to Angel and Gunn talking to Lilah. You can't hear what they are saying. Soft music is playing in the background. They shake hands as the camera cuts to Wolfarm & Hart, streets of LA, strip club, and then at the Hyperion. Lilah, Angel, and Gunn are in the lobby.
LILAH
So it's a deal, big man?
ANGEL
Not official, we'd like to see a tour
LILAH
I already gave you one
ANGEL
But we aren't separated this time
Pan closely to Lorne busting through the door.
GUNN (voiceover)
I agree, I don't know what you were trying to do
The camera follows Lorne as he runs upstairs
LILAH (voiceover)
Okay, you don't have to jump on me
The camera pans sideways as Lorne walks down the hallway
LILAH (voiceover)
Get the rest of your recruits
ANGEL (voiceover)
Lorne was finding Wes and Fred after he did an errand. He just came in
Lorne opens the door to a room looks around
LORNE
Fred? Wesley?
Lorne shrugs and slams the door behind him, going to another door. The camera stays in the room
LORNE (voiceover)
Any brits in the room?
The camera slowly pans across to the bed; there is a bump in it. As Wesley and Fred appear from it, holding the blankets closely to their chest.
WESLEY
He didn't catch us
FRED
G-good (Wesley looks a little hurt) It's not that it's a bad thing, but with all the angst with Wolfram and Hart. And Gunn
WESLEY
(Rolls his eyes) Gunn. Are you still?
FRED
Yea
WESLEY
And we?
FRED
...Yea
WESLEY
We won't?
FRED
Agreed
WESLEY
Was it that bad?
FRED
It was perfect (Thinks for a moment and starts kissing Wesley)
Cut to Angel's office. Text appears at the bottom: 'Present'. It is the same scene as the teaser
ANGEL
Faith?
FAITH
In the flesh
FRED
Oh, Wesely. You brought...Faith here?
WESLEY
Well not exactly, we kind of ran in to each other
GUNN
(Gets up from the table) Where?
FAITH
At Demisk Het
WESLEY
It's pronounced: Demonisk Hytte.
ANGEL
Norwegian.....for?
LORNE
Demon hut, my colleagues go there. It's a demonic place where....demons, in this case people, meet to exchange demonic spells.
ANGEL
You were at a demonic spell exchange center?
WESLEY
It isn't as bad as it seems, I was finding a spell for someone
Fred smirks a little, shyly
ANGEL
I'll take your word for it, but why was Faith there?
FAITH
Wood, my boyfriend, got injured in San Diego
GUNN
With Buffy and gang?
FAITH
Yeah, we were fighting off another big bad. Did you know they have a mini-hellmouth there?
LORNE
California and their love for the hellmouth
FAITH
Yea, the first with its last attack sent out part of the hellmouth all over the place. Give those new slayers something to do
GUNN
And your boyfriend got injured
FAITH
It's worse then you think, I didn't think he'd make it. So I went to Demon Hut
WESLEY
Demonisk Hytte
FAITH
Demonisk Hytte, to get a spell to make him better. It's getting worse by the minute. He almost looks like a zit itself. So I saw Wes, or he saw me. I really can't tell anymore, and he brought me here. After he let me stay at his apartment the other night
FRED
(Anxious) You stayed in his apartment? (Calms down when everyone looks at her) So...you were brought here?
FAITH
Yea
ANGEL
(Shaky) Where's Buffy?
FAITH
She and the scoobs are on their quest towards Cleveland. This is just a pit-stop
ANGEL
Are you going to leave if Wood gets well?
FAITH
I don't really know, just a pit-stop sounds a lot better. Doesn't it?
ANGEL
I guess, so what you want a spell?
FAITH
To revive Robin
ANGEL
A g-girl?
FAITH
No, this is Faith speaking; not Willow. Mr. Robin Wood is a man
GUNN
Wait a second; his name is Robin...Wood? Robin Wood. Robin Wood, okay I'll try not to laugh
FAITH
Shut up, this is serious. Vampires have got stronger ever since the litters of slayers are all over the world.
FRED
It's hard thinking about that. A thousand slayers
WESLEY
Even more then that, I believe. So I told Faith how we now control Wolfram & Hart, she decided to join us
ANGEL
In Wolfram & Hart?
FAITH
That is what mini-Giles said, isn't it? I thought I'd help out; it has been such a small world since I'm not one of the chosen two
FRED
What are you going to do here?
WESLEY
I assigned an appointment with Lilah (checks watch) which you are supposed to be at....right now
FAITH
Okay, boss-man
ANGEL
(Raises hand) That is actually me
FAITH
(Turns to Angel) Okay, boss-man. (Turns back and heads down the hallway)
Cut to a small office. The camera slowly pans to Faith opening the door and sitting down on a chair.
FAITH
Lilah?
Cut back to Angel's office.
ANGEL
You set an appointment with Lilah...for Faith?!
WESLEY
She has nowhere else to go. Her companions left her here as they went cross-country to the other hellmouth
LORNE
I always thought she added to the mix of our spice bowl of vampires, psychics, and demons
GUNN
Okay, besides Faith; are we ready to have our meeting?
FRED
I want to; I can't wait to learn what I'm going to do
ANGEL
(Holding a folder as he sits down on the head of the table) Sit down everyone (they do so) the officials of Wolfram & Hart, well the ones besides us, have helped me decide the roles of which you will play
The camera pans to Wesley, waiting.
ANGEL (voiceover)
Besides being my official CEO Assistant, Wesley will be the head of Demonology. He will be talking to the demons first and interacting with the demons first. Since he knows a surplus of languages
GUNN (voiceover)
Soon, remember about the operation
Pan to Gunn
ANGEL (voiceover)
Yes, after the operation Gunn will know complete knowledge of the law system. And of course he will be ahead of that
Pan to Lorne
ANGEL (voiceover)
Because of Lorne's empathy power, Lorne will be the resort when things get drastic. Call him a psychologist, if you will.
Lorne pouts a little
ANGEL (voiceover)
And yes, Lorne, you part time will do entertainment
As Lorne smiles the camera pans to Fred
ANGEL (voiceover)
Fred will be the last resort to anything, and I mean everything, that goes to the labs down in the basement. But mostly she'll be my right hand...girl
WESLEY (voiceover)
And we'll be working together a lot, as well
Fred giggles as the camera zooms out
ANGEL
So is Faith soon going to join us?
WESLEY
We don't know how long this meeting will be
GUNN
Yeah, Lilah's meetings are long. I remember
Cut to the office Faith was in. This time Angel, Gunn, and Lorne are there. Lilah opens the door
LILAH
I see you're all in
LORNE
Well most of us, I couldn't really find Fred and Wes
LILAH
We can do without them, so you want one last tour. Together?
ANGEL
That is what I've asked for.
LILAH
Okay (Presses a button on her desk) we’ve set up a video personally for you five. Well now three. This explores what we do around here
ANGEL
This isn't what I asked for; I don't want this video crap. I want the real deal, not some artificial tour Lilah! You know what I want, so give it to me
LILAH
Hold on there cowboy, I don't have the time
ANGEL
What else do you do in this hell hole? Aren't you dead
LILAH
Well my contract still restricts me to here
ANGEL
Stop lying to me! There is no contract, and I know it
LILAH
What's this then? (She takes a paper from her drawers and places it on the table)
The camera cuts to the contract which reads 'Lilah Morgan'. The camera then cuts to the middle of the contract 'forever property of '. The camera cuts to the bottom of the contract which reads in bold read 'Wolfram & Hart'. The camera cuts back to the original scene
LILAH
Is that enough proof for you?
GUNN
Can't you quit?
LILAH
That's the point of the contract, it doesn't matter. So you want the tour?
ANGEL
If we approve, and this is an 'if', we will have control of all employees.
LILAH
Yes
ANGEL
And their contracts?
LILAH
(Unsure) Uh....yes, why?
ANGEL
Nothing and we will have control over our clients?
LILAH
Yes, Angel, so do you want the tour?
ANGEL
No, I want to give my signature
Cut to the Hyperion, day. Fred is fully dressed, as Wesley just zipped up his pants
WESLEY
I'll go there first, to make it seem like we weren't together
FRED
Sounds good. (Wesley heads out the Hyperion as Fred sighs) Sounds good
Pans as Fred walk to one of the Hyperion's tables, where there are bunch of un-sorted paper. The camera slowly zooms on as Fred slowly holds up a paper reading: 'Tabula Rasa'
Cut back to the office
LILAH
I'm sorry it took so long, but you no how officials are. We had to agree on the final print, there is always an argument. No matter what
Cut to the door as Wesley busts through it
WESLEY
Sorry I'm late
LILAH (voiceover)
You’re right on time
Cut back to the office
WESLEY
What is she talking about Angel?
ANGEL
I'll answer ONCE you tell me where you were
WESLEY
I was doing an errand
GUNN
We are going to give our signature
WESLEY
On the contract?
LORNE
Yes, all we need is Freddy to sign
LILAH
You don't need to have Winifred's signature yet, she can sign latter. It's just more formal when you are all together
Cut to the door as Fred busts through it
FRED
Sorry if I'm late
ANGEL (voiceover)
You are late, where were you?
FRED
An errand, so what's up?
WESLEY
We're giving our approval to be the head of the LA branch of Wolfram & Hart
LILAH
So you can sign here, here and here. Five lines for each, I have to make a phone call to someone
ANGEL
Who?
LILAH
Eve, now sign away (Lilah walks out of the office)
WESLEY
I can't believe we are going to do this, Angel!
ANGEL
We had a talk about this
FRED
No we didn't
GUNN
Angel, Lorne, and I did. You two weren't there for someone reason
FRED
It is July, I have things to do. But anyways, these are the people we have fought
ANGEL
We've talked about this Fred; we will now be on top of the people we have fought. It's all good (signs three times)
GUNN
There is no worries honey (signs too)
LORNE
No worries (Lorne smiled as he signed too)
FRED
I guess, Wes?
WESLEY
Okay, but I don't want to say I told you so (signs as well)
FRED
Last but not least (signs)
The camera zooms in on the contract. In bold red is all five signatures, the camera slowly zooms out to reveal the same contract but now in Angel's office. Lorne is no longer there
GUNN
Do we have any cases today?
ANGEL
I have no secretary, so I have no idea. Some other part of the staff is taking care of it
FRED
Shouldn't we? I mean we are the head of this estate
ANGEL
Good point
GUNN
I'm sure it'll be all right. We don't have to take care of everything, do we?
FRED
Shouldn't we?
ANGEL
Too many questions, if you ask me. We should take full control. I should know what is going on in my law firm. Wes I need a secretary
WESLEY
I've already took care of that. Well I already made Lorne take care of it; he's holding auditions in the west club as we speak
Cut to a dim club. Lorne is sitting on the stool, next to three girls. One of them is Harmony. The other two are a red head and a burnette.
LORNE
Man this is a comedian's dream. A blonde, redhead, and a burnette in a club. Okay, anyways you all want to be Angel's secretary?
ALL THREE GIRLS
Yes!
LORNE
Well you have to be able to please Angel to his needs
BURNETTE
Oooh I know how to do that
The camera cuts to the back of the burnette. She pulls up her shirt, as Lorne, redhead, and Harmony gasp
LORNE
I compliment you...on your goods, but this never goes well with Angel. It turns all fangs ahoy, so buh-bye now (waves good boy)
The camera cuts to a sideway view of the scene. The burnette know has her shirt on as she storms off.
LORNE
Well that was interesting, hey blonde don't I know you from somewhere
HARMONY
Uh, I don't think so. Anyways, are you going to interview us?
LORNE
Well, of course
HARMONY
(Turns to redhead) I haven't exactly had the best past with redheads, so I'd look out if I was you
LORNE
I like that spirit, what's your favorite fashion company?
HARMONY
Um... (Leans over at Lorne's neck, where the tag is) Bloomingdales
LORNE
I love ya, darlin'. Or shall I say Ms. Secretary
Harmony giggles and jumps with joy
ACT 2
Angel's office, only Faith & Angel are in it
ANGEL
How are you?
FAITH
What do you want me to be?
ANGEL
Happy?
FAITH
Sounds good (smirks) so how are you?
ANGEL
Not the best
FAITH
You are always not the best, well in your eyes
ANGEL
What?
FAITH
Angel you’re the champion, I've been told by many. Back in the jail people talked about you, since you busted them
ANGEL
Is that good?
FAITH
Well some of those people are killers
ANGEL
And you aren't?
FAITH
I turned a new leaf, yo; you should've stayed to see that battle Angel
ANGEL
Buffy t-told you I was came?
FAITH
Get over her!
ANGEL
I am, I have had affairs with some people (scratches his back)
FAITH
How many?
ANGEL
Uh...2
FAITH
Man, Angel, you're like a humpback whale. Who were these lucky ladies?
ANGEL
No one in particular
FAITH
Was it that brainy girl, Freddy?
ANGEL
N-no...more like Darla....
FAITH
That vampire?
ANGEL
Well...yeah, and (mutters) Cordellia
FAITH
Couldn’t hear that last one?
ANGEL
Cordy
FAITH (laughs)
Your kidding....right....right?
The camera slowly zooms out as their voices slowly fade
FAITH
Oh god, I'm sorry....it's funny
They are silent now as they hug and begin talking again. The camera pans to Wesley & Gunn
GUNN
They are getting along just fine
WESLEY
Yup, last time we saw them they were fighting to the death
GUNN
Times were different then
WESLEY
A lot different
EMPLOYE
(Joins in) The thing on the street is that Faith is going to be the CEO's assistant
WESLEY
But, Allen, that is my job. That just can not be. I know they have history
ALLEN
Boss favors her, it's obvious.
GUNN
It is?
ALLEN
Look at them
Cut to the window through Angel's office, they are hugging again
ALLEN (voiceover)
They are hugging, has he hugged you lately?
GUNN (voiceover)
Sort of....no, not really. But that doesn't mean anything
ALLEN (voiceover)
Things are different here, different definitions around here. Get a new vocab if I was you
Cut to the club, Lorne and Harmony are talking. Fred walks in
FRED
Did you get a secretary for Angel?
LORNE
Look at this bombshell Fred
HARMONY
Hello (Shakes her hand) my name is Harmony
FRED
Lorne! May I speak to for a moment (walks away from Harmony, and whispers) What-are-you-thinking?
LORNE
What are you talking about?
FRED
That-is-Harmony! Re-mem-ber?! She was the butt of all Angel's jokes
LORNE
(Takes a look at Harmony) Oooh your right
FRED
You-have-to reject her, Angel will not allow her
HARMONY
Um...I can still hear you guys
LORNE
It's too let Fred, she already signed the contract
FRED
Can't wait to see Angel's expression
HARMONY
Are you mocking me?
FRED
What do you think?
FRED'S POV Down the hallway to the lab, only Knox is there
KNOX
Hey Fred
Camera cuts to a full view of them two
FRED
Hey Knox (smiles)
KNOX
Want to see our new experiment?
FRED
I'm the head of the science department, aren't I?
KNOX
Yes.... (Waits) So that is a yes
FRED
Yes it is a yes
KNOX
Bit of a tongue twister
They both laugh as Fred follows Knox to a dead girl under sheets
FRED
What happened?
KNOX
It is a slayer
FRED
Out of the thousand?
KNOX
Yes
FRED
Did you kill her?
KNOX
Nope we found her corpse, ran some tests to see that she is in fact a slayer. But the funny thing is, well it isn't that funny, but anyways. The weird thing is that there is also a trace of vampire through her veins
FRED
A vampire vampire slayer? Another tongue twist
They nervously laugh again as the camera cuts to the dead corpse.
KNOX (voiceover)
As you can see....
The camera cuts to two bite marks on the corpse's neck
KNOX (voiceover, continued)
...she is obviously bitten by a vampire. And her strength tops the charts; obviously the vampire blood gave her a boost on her ability
FRED (voiceover) I'm afraid to ask
The camera cuts back to them examining the body
FRED (continued)
But how did she die?
KNOX
We have no idea, maybe a virus, we have no idea
FRED
Are we going to find out?
KNOX
No, we are just going to stare (Fred looks at him a little) Sarcasm
FRED
Oh....okay (embarrassed)
They both turn their backs to get some supplies; the camera slowly zooms in on the corpse's head. All of a sudden it blinks as the camera cuts to Angel's office. Liliah, Angel, and Faith are present
LILAH
You called?
ANGEL
I want to know what Faith will be doing here
LILAH
She didn't tell you
ANGEL
I'm afraid you have to tell
FAITH
Hey I have my reasons, it's an odd job
ANGEL
What is it then?
LILAH
She will be sort of a chief
ANGEL
Expound on that
LILAH
She will be training all are fighters in this facility to fight well, since she is the only slayer in the building present.
FAITH
Hear that Angel? I'm freakin' G.I Jane
LILAH
I keep on telling her that she isn't. You are training all the male and female fighters to their best abilities
ANGEL
Why isn't Gunn apart of this? He is almost as good as Faith
LILAH
We need a top staff of the lawyer branch; I mean it is our cover story. Besides he is getting the operation done as we speak
Cut to a small white room, such as the one on the top floor. There is a dentist-like machine; Gunn is laid back on it. Wesley is over looking as Allen is doing the procedure
WESLEY
What exactly are you doing?
ALLEN
Nothing much
WESLEY
You didn't answer my question
ALLEN
We are placing a microchip in to Charles Gunn's head. This will have him up to date knowledge on everything about lawyers.
WESLEY
Artificial intelligence?
ALLEN
You could say that, but this more like an electronic tutor
WESLEY
How long will this take?
ALLEN
I couple of hours, we need to open up his cranium, make sure the chip has everything, place it in exactly where it is needed, and then close it back up
GUNN
I don't like the sound of opening my head
ALLEN
You'll be drugged
GUNN
Is that supposed to be a relief? Drugs are of the devil's work, like my mom always said
WESLEY
It'll be all right Gunn
Cut to GUNN'S POV, three people with gas masks on place a thing on Gunn.
MASKED GUY
Count backwards.....10....9....8
His voice gets softer as he goes down
MASKED GUY
7....6.....5.....4....
The camera flickers from black to Gunn's POV. Until it stays at black
ALLEN (voiceover)
I rather not have you hear Mr. Price
WESLEY (voiceover)
Okay, just don't kill Gunn
ALLEN (voiceover)
He is in good hands...
Cut to Wesley's office, Wesley is at his desk. Lorne walks in
LORNE
Um...Wes, you got a few
WESLEY
Yes, just researching. Why?
LORNE
Well by accident I hired someone
Harmony appears in the door
HARMONY
Surprise!
WESLEY
Y-y-you hired....her?! (In awe)
HARMONY
Isn't it just the best news you've heard the whole day?
WESLEY
Actually, no. Lorne what is Harmony's job
Lorne makes a shrug
WESLEY (continued)
You’re not telling me....
LORNE
Yup
WESLEY
She's a secretary? Who's?
LORNE
Who else?
HARMONY
I am Ms. Angel's Secretary! Yay!
WESLEY
This is just great, just great. Angel will fire you on the spot
LORNE
She has a 6 month contract until the boss can fire her
WESLEY
Oh....um...I guess the more the merrier
HARMONY
Group hug!
WESLEY
Rather not
LORNE
No thank you
Harmony frowns as she hugs herself
The camera cuts to an alley. The camera cuts closer to Angel and Faith. It's night now.
ANGEL
Did Lilah say it was here?
FAITH
Yup, she said it was an underground training camp
ANGEL
Reminds me of a fellow friend of...
FAITH
Who?
ANGEL
Buffy
FAITH
Oh...Buffy (nods a little as she walks in to this dump)
The camera cuts to this small little hut.
ANGEL
This is crazy
FAITH
A vampire with a soul is crazy, this is just cool
Cut to a small alarm code at the wall of the hut.
Cut back to a wide view of the hut
FAITH
(Looks at a sheet) Okay the code is...
Faith presses a four numbered code as the walls open. Faith and Angel walk down as the camera follows them to a set familiar to the Initiative. There is a woman there waiting for them to arrive
WOMAN
(Shakes hands with Faith) We've been waiting
FAITH
Cool and you are?
WOMAN
Oh I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm the creator of this camp; my name is Ms. Heather Walsh
ANGEL
I guess I'll be leaving you two ladies alone
HEATHER
Yes, I need a private conversation with Ms. (Flips through some papers) I'm sorry I don't have your last name recorded here
Angel leaves going upstairs
FAITH
(Ignoring her last question) So this is a camp?
HEATHER
You could call it that, more like boot camp. We have about 20 recruits, train them, and they will help out with Angel and Your physical work around here
FAITH
Fighting the baddies?
HEATHER
Exactly, right now we are getting our 20 recruits out of the 76 that have applied
FAITH
A lot of pressure on these hands
HEATHER
That won't matter, right? Because you are a slayer, before the litter of them
FAITH
I guess so, I'm nothing special though
HEATHER
Oh but you are, but you are
Cut to the white room, Gunn is still being operating. All the scientists stop working suddenly as Lorne walks in. Obviously making contrast
LORNE
Aren't you people the delightful bunch
ALLEN
And why are you here?
LORNE
Just checking on my little nut case Charlie.
ALLEN
What happened to Mr. Price?
LORNE
He is taking care of business with the b-o-s-s
Cut to Angel's office, Wesley & Harmony are present.
HARMONY
Where is he?
WESLEY
Probably doing something with Faith
HARMONY
Oh my God! You mean that psycho slayer from high school
WESLEY
She's better now, much better
HARMONY
People don't change Wesley, people don't change
WESLEY
Your wrong Harmony, now stay quite while Angel comes in
HARMONY
What conditioner do you use? 'Cause your hair is all wacky
WESLEY
That is none of your business
HARMONY
If you want to.... (Puts on a British accent) "Shag" woman, you'd better make that hair a little....ya know
WESLEY
No I don’t what?
HARMONY
Oh then you wouldn't want to know now
Cut to the door Angel walks in
ANGEL
Hello Wesley and.....
Cut to Harmony
ANGEL (Voiceover, continued)
Harmony....what's she doing here?
Cut to a wide view of the office
WESLEY
Funny thing
ANGEL
It isn't going to be that funny when I stake her
Harmony hides behind Wesley
WESLEY
Since Lorne and Harmony never properly met, Lorne by accident hired Harmony
ANGEL
WHAT?! What is her job here....
WESLEY
It's in blood so, you can't change it
ANGEL
And....
WESLEY
She's your secretary
ANGEL
(Punches the wall and makes a dent) You've got to be kidding me!?
Cut back to the white room
ALLEN
I hope that goes well
LORNE
I'm not sure about that. So what you doing with my fellow Gunn?
ALLEN
We have put the chip with all the Law Knowledge in the left side of his brain
LORNE
So shouldn't you be done?
ALLEN
Not exactly, we are just adding a little more. Just to round it off
LORNE
Is that a good idea?
ALLEN
Of course, we're just giving 110 percent instead of 100
Cut to the lab basement, the 'dead slayer' is now standing behind Fred and Knox
FRED
So what are we going to...do?
KNOX
Us?
FRED
No the corpse
KNOX
Going to run some tests on her, to confirm some theories
SLAYER
I wouldn't do that
Fred and Knox turn around to see the Slayer. The camera cuts to the slayer's eyes as they turn pitch black.
SLAYER (voiceover)
Besides being a vampire and a vampire slayer....
Camera cuts to the wide view the slayer is holding up Knox
SLAYER (Continued)
I'm a Wicca
She throws Knox around the room. The Slayer raises her hand as a green light blasts out sending Fred over as well. The slayer smiles as she makes an explosion
ACT 3
Fade back in on the same scene, the explosion is over. There is stuff scattered across the lab. Knox isn't visible, but Fred is.
SLAYER
I'm not some lab rat you can have fun with. I'm the whole supernatural package
Fred is panting as the Slayer levitates her with telekinesis
SLAYER
Are you even a bit on the supernatural side?
FRED
(Pants) My friend is a vampire
SLAYER
That's nice, so am I
The slayer flings her hand as she makes Fred go flying against the wall
SLAYER
This is going to be fun
Cut to Angel's office, Harmony, Angel, and Wesley are there
ANGEL
I'm sorry, Harmony is fired
Harmony whines
WESLEY
Sorry Angel, she can't be. Not for 6-months
HARMONY
I signed my name in blood
ANGEL
Really? Remind me to talk to Lorne
HARMONY
(Rights something in her notebook) Got it
ANGEL
Harmony get me some pig blood
Harmony walks out of the room, as the camera follows her
EMPLOYE
Did you just fired?
HARMONY
More like hired
EMPLOYEE
Wrong time to get hired, there is a fight in the basement lab
HARMONY
Oooh....I should tell Angel!
Harmony turns around but the employee grabs her hand
EMPLOYEE
No
HARMONY
Why not?
GUNN (Voiceover)
Yes, why not?
Camera cuts to a wide view of the lobby, Gunn, Allen, and Lorne are present
EMPLOYEE
Because things work different around her
ALLEN
Oh don't listen to him. Tim is always babbling nonsense
TIM
I am not!
ALLEN
Oh yes you are, now may I have a word with you Tim about the documents you sent me
Tim and Allen walk off, as Harmony goes to the refrigerator, and Gunn & Lorne walk in to Angel's office
Camera cut to Angel's office with Angel, Gunn, Lorne, and Wesley
LORNE
Hello Mr. Gruesome
ANGEL
Uh hi Lorne
WESLEY
Gunn, is your operation done?
GUNN
Yup (taps the top of his head) everything is inside here
LORNE
Oooh Angel, some guy named Tim told us there is a breakout in the lab
WESLEY
Isn't that where Fred is?
Knox runs in with some scars
KNOX
You guys need to get down there! This slayer/vampire/wiccan is killing Fred
The all run, Lorne is the last one to go out the door
LORNE
Aren't you coming?
KNOX
No...I'll just stay here
Lorne runs out as Knox walks towards Angel's desk and sits down
Cut to the basement, Fred is being held up with a green light surrounding her.
SLAYER
Your ride ends here
The slayer is forming some mystic energy
Cut to a close-on of the Slayer. All of a sudden the slayer falls to the ground. Cut back to original view of the basement to see Faith her foot on the slayer's back
FAITH
I think it is your ride that's ending, Mia
The slayer teleports behind Faith and punches her
MIA
Bitch
Faith ducks the second punch and kicks Mia in the gut. Mia falls back a little as she runs towards Faith pushing her against the wall. Faith slides out of Mia's grasp and jumps kicking her in the chest. Mia falls to the ground, but levitates back up. Mia vamps and gives a punch at Faith; her fist is glowing with mystical light. Faith is sent back a couple feet
MIA
Now to end it
HEATHER (Voiceover)
I don't think so
Cut to Heather a couple of yards from Mia, behind her are the 20 recruits
MIA (voiceover)
Oh but I do
A red force flies from Mia's direction sending all 21 of them injured
Cut back to Mia towering over Faith, she extends her arm to see a red fireball (ex: Willow in Grave) forming in her arms
MIA
Finally I can kill someone
WESLEY (Voiceover)
Zauberei beginnt nicht mehr.
Camera cut to Angel, Gunn, Lorne, and Wesley running down. Wesley is reading from a magic book
WESLEY
Zauberei verläßt diese Tür.
Energy escapes from Mia as she falls back a bit
ANGEL
What did that do again?
WESLEY
Denied her access of her magical abilities
LORNE
So now she is magic-less?
WESLEY
Exactly
Gunn runs to Fred, as the camera cuts to Gunn kneeling down to the hurt Fred
GUNN
You all right sweetie?
FRED
Not the best, but I'm okay
Gunn leans down to kissing Fred
FRED
Have you got the operation?
GUNN
Yup, I'm a lawyer executive
Cut back to Angel, Lorne, and Wesley. Wesley is making a sick face towards the Fred and Gunn action
LORNE
I just love when lovebirds are being lovebirds
Angel runs up towards Mia, and attempts to punch her. Mia grabs Angel's hand and twists it
MIA
You people don't understand, I'm still a slayer
WESLEY
Sorry, but when I did the magic disability that also goes for ever magic spell on you. Well besides mine. Which means that slayer spell done to you, is over
MIA
What?
Faith punches Mia from behind. Lorne throws a stake to Faith, as Faith is about to stake her
FAITH
You're just a vamp now, sweetie
Faith thrusts the stake as the camera cuts back to Angel's office. Angel, Faith, Gunn, Wesley, Lorne, and Fred are there
ANGEL
So how did you know Mia?
FAITH
We picked her up along the way, she ran away as we reached around this place. When looking for her is when the whole Wood trauma happened. And now I'm here
WESLEY
She was an interesting character, a Wiccan slayer bit by a vampire.
FRED
(A cast and bruises) Yea.....interesting all right
GUNN
You'll be as good as new soon honey
FRED
I hope so; will you make it all better?
GUNN
(Kisses her cast) Of course
LORNE
Hate to break this whole 'we killed a lady' talk, but isn't there a vampire with slayer blood out there
FAITH
My men are taking care of that, I need to take care of something myself though
Faith walks out
LORNE
I got a little date of my own...
Whistling Lorne walks out
ANGEL
Do I need an excuse? I'm the boss
Angel walks out
GUNN
Do you want to come back with me?
FRED
I don't know
GUNN
Okay, I'll let you rest
Gunn walks out
WESLEY
(Smiles) Just us here
FRED
No, no Wesely! I've been with Gunn for about two months now; I thought we stopped "running" in to each other
WESLEY
I guess so
FRED
It'll never happened again
Fred walks out
WESLEY
I guess this is my cue to leave
Wesely turns out the lights as the camera fades to black.
Camera fade back in on a hospital waiting room, its night, Faith is there in the waiting room. Angel walks in
FAITH
How did you know I'll be here?
ANGEL
Where else were you going to go? So how is Robin doing?
FAITH
They are going to let me check on him in a few seconds
ANGEL
Oh, so...
FAITH
Do you want to come?
ANGEL
Where?
FAITH
To Robin's hospital room
NURSE
(Walk in) You can see Mr. Wood now
FAITH
You coming?
ANGEL
Sure
Camera cut to the hospital room, Faith and Angel are standing looking down at Robin. Robin is smiling a little
ROBIN
(Weakly and slowly talking) You came
FAITH
Yup
ROBIN
With a friend?
FAITH
No one much
Angel awkwardly waves
ROBIN
Oh, Faith, I love you
Faith places holds hands with Robin
ROBIN
I love...
Camera cut to the IV he's on. Cut back to the heart rate machine. It starts to drop, beeping
Cut to nurses running towards Robin, trying to revive him.
Cut to the waiting room, Angel & Faith are waiting. The same nurse walks in
NURSE
I'm so sorry Ms, I'm so sorry
The Nurse leaves as the camera cuts to the door swinging. The camera cuts back to Faith leaning against Angel's chest crying. Cut again, Angel is holding Faith. Cut again Faith is on the ground sobbing holding close to Angel. Cut to a bird-eye's view of them on the waiting room carpet crying.
FAITH (Voiceover)
It's not fair

WESLEY
Previously on Angel:
HOLLAND MANNERS
Wolfram & Hart. Our firm has always been here. We go on...no matter what.
CUT TO:
LILAH
I don't think you'll want it, but you'll take it, because this is the offer of a lifetime.
CUT TO:
GUNN
You want to run that by us one more time?
LILAH
What was unclear?
FRED
I think the part where you offered us Wolfram & Hart.
LILAH
Just the L.A. Branch.
LORNE
(chuckles) "Just the L.A. Branch." (stands, irritated) Hi, from another dimension, what the hell does that mean?
LILAH
Means we give. You win. We're moving out. The senior partners are ceding this territory to you, and to prove it, they want to give you controlling interest in our L.A. Office. You get the building, assets, personnel, letterhead, paper clips, all of it. It's yours to do with as you see fit.
CUT TO:
FRED
You found Cordy? And she's-
LILAH
Still in a coma.
CUT TO:
LILAH
You're the boss. (hands Angel the file and amulet) There'll be a limo waiting outside. It'll take you to see Connor.
ANGEL
(softly) Thank you. (walks out the door)
FRED
(watches Angel leave) Who's Connor?
Showing a clip of Angel, Wesely, Gunn, Fred, and Lorne standing in the lobby of Wolfram & Hart
LILAH (Voiceover)
Welcome to Wolfram & Hart, and enjoy your stay
Teaser
Angel's main office, Angel is leaning against his desk.
The camera cuts to a small, golden plaque that says: "Angel Smith - Wolfarm & Hart CEO"
The camera cuts to a large view of the office. Wesely walks in.
ANGEL
Hello, Wesley
WESLEY
(Nervous) Uh, hello Angel.
ANGEL
Nervous?
WESLEY
First day at the job, you know little butterflies
Fred and Gunn walk in. The camera cuts to Fred
FRED
Hey, just Gunn and I just coming early
The camera cuts back to Angel, viewing his watch
ANGEL
The meeting started three minutes ago
Pan to Fred and Gunn making faces for being late. As Lorne walks threw the doors
LORNE
Welcome loony tunes.
Zoom out to everyone standing in the office
ANGEL
I told you to never say that again Lorne
LORNE
(Walks and sits down at the now visible meeting table) Well you know me; I take every chance I get.
GUNN
So (Gunn sits down at the table) we all (Angel and Fred sit down. Angel is on the top of the table) Here?
WESLEY
Well, I have a little special guest
ANGEL
Who?
The camera pans slowly, as the camera finally reaches the front door of the office. The doors open but no one appears to be there.
WESLEY (voiceover)
No one special
The camera takes a better look at the door, as it changes its angle. Faith is there standing

ACT 1
The Hyperion, night. On the bottom of the screen it says: 'Two months earlier: July 2003' everyone is sitting together at the table, having dinner.
LORNE
A toast?
GUNN
Of course (raises his glass as everyone follows)
Camera cuts to Gunn and Fred holding hands underneath the table.
Camera cuts out to Angel
ANGEL
A toast, to new life!
LORNE (voiceover)
And better clothes!
Cut to the overview of the table
WESLEY
A whole new world of ideas, and wonder
LORNE
Yea, yea but what about the clothes?
GUNN
Better weaponry, as well
FRED
Weapons (rests her head on Gunn's shoulder)
ANGEL
Cheers.... (They all knock their glasses together and start to drink in union)...to Wolfarm & Hart
Cut to a dark Hyperion room, dark shadows are kissing.
FRED
Oh, Gunn....you've never done that before
The camera pans to across the room wall as Angel and Gunn are walking down the hallway
ANGEL
I still have a bad feeling about Wolfram & Hart
GUNN
You're not the only one; I mean we spent the past years fighting against them. And they think they can just waltz in and...
LORNE (voiceover)
Let us take over a multi-million company
The camera zooms out a little to see Lorne joining in on the conversation
LORNE
Money buys you happiness, besides we'll finally have control of everything that happens in this great city of lies and deceits
GUNN
He's right; we'll be on top of all the evil that happens
ANGEL
And the good
GUNN
And the good, yes. I think it's a good idea
ANGEL
I still have doubts
LORNE
Didn't Ally McBeal give us a 7-day trial?
GUNN
Her name is Lilah, and she only gave us 3 days to see how it is before we give our signature
ANGEL
Or we can reject them
GUNN
That's always an option, but think about it Angel!
LORNE
We'll be the icing of the polluted, industrial cake of LA
Cut to Angel and Gunn talking to Lilah. You can't hear what they are saying. Soft music is playing in the background. They shake hands as the camera cuts to Wolfarm & Hart, streets of LA, strip club, and then at the Hyperion. Lilah, Angel, and Gunn are in the lobby.
LILAH
So it's a deal, big man?
ANGEL
Not official, we'd like to see a tour
LILAH
I already gave you one
ANGEL
But we aren't separated this time
Pan closely to Lorne busting through the door.
GUNN (voiceover)
I agree, I don't know what you were trying to do
The camera follows Lorne as he runs upstairs
LILAH (voiceover)
Okay, you don't have to jump on me
The camera pans sideways as Lorne walks down the hallway
LILAH (voiceover)
Get the rest of your recruits
ANGEL (voiceover)
Lorne was finding Wes and Fred after he did an errand. He just came in
Lorne opens the door to a room looks around
LORNE
Fred? Wesley?
Lorne shrugs and slams the door behind him, going to another door. The camera stays in the room
LORNE (voiceover)
Any brits in the room?
The camera slowly pans across to the bed; there is a bump in it. As Wesley and Fred appear from it, holding the blankets closely to their chest.
WESLEY
He didn't catch us
FRED
G-good (Wesley looks a little hurt) It's not that it's a bad thing, but with all the angst with Wolfram and Hart. And Gunn
WESLEY
(Rolls his eyes) Gunn. Are you still?
FRED
Yea
WESLEY
And we?
FRED
...Yea
WESLEY
We won't?
FRED
Agreed
WESLEY
Was it that bad?
FRED
It was perfect (Thinks for a moment and starts kissing Wesley)
Cut to Angel's office. Text appears at the bottom: 'Present'. It is the same scene as the teaser
ANGEL
Faith?
FAITH
In the flesh
FRED
Oh, Wesely. You brought...Faith here?
WESLEY
Well not exactly, we kind of ran in to each other
GUNN
(Gets up from the table) Where?
FAITH
At Demisk Het
WESLEY
It's pronounced: Demonisk Hytte.
ANGEL
Norwegian.....for?
LORNE
Demon hut, my colleagues go there. It's a demonic place where....demons, in this case people, meet to exchange demonic spells.
ANGEL
You were at a demonic spell exchange center?
WESLEY
It isn't as bad as it seems, I was finding a spell for someone
Fred smirks a little, shyly
ANGEL
I'll take your word for it, but why was Faith there?
FAITH
Wood, my boyfriend, got injured in San Diego
GUNN
With Buffy and gang?
FAITH
Yeah, we were fighting off another big bad. Did you know they have a mini-hellmouth there?
LORNE
California and their love for the hellmouth
FAITH
Yea, the first with its last attack sent out part of the hellmouth all over the place. Give those new slayers something to do
GUNN
And your boyfriend got injured
FAITH
It's worse then you think, I didn't think he'd make it. So I went to Demon Hut
WESLEY
Demonisk Hytte
FAITH
Demonisk Hytte, to get a spell to make him better. It's getting worse by the minute. He almost looks like a zit itself. So I saw Wes, or he saw me. I really can't tell anymore, and he brought me here. After he let me stay at his apartment the other night
FRED
(Anxious) You stayed in his apartment? (Calms down when everyone looks at her) So...you were brought here?
FAITH
Yea
ANGEL
(Shaky) Where's Buffy?
FAITH
She and the scoobs are on their quest towards Cleveland. This is just a pit-stop
ANGEL
Are you going to leave if Wood gets well?
FAITH
I don't really know, just a pit-stop sounds a lot better. Doesn't it?
ANGEL
I guess, so what you want a spell?
FAITH
To revive Robin
ANGEL
A g-girl?
FAITH
No, this is Faith speaking; not Willow. Mr. Robin Wood is a man
GUNN
Wait a second; his name is Robin...Wood? Robin Wood. Robin Wood, okay I'll try not to laugh
FAITH
Shut up, this is serious. Vampires have got stronger ever since the litters of slayers are all over the world.
FRED
It's hard thinking about that. A thousand slayers
WESLEY
Even more then that, I believe. So I told Faith how we now control Wolfram & Hart, she decided to join us
ANGEL
In Wolfram & Hart?
FAITH
That is what mini-Giles said, isn't it? I thought I'd help out; it has been such a small world since I'm not one of the chosen two
FRED
What are you going to do here?
WESLEY
I assigned an appointment with Lilah (checks watch) which you are supposed to be at....right now
FAITH
Okay, boss-man
ANGEL
(Raises hand) That is actually me
FAITH
(Turns to Angel) Okay, boss-man. (Turns back and heads down the hallway)
Cut to a small office. The camera slowly pans to Faith opening the door and sitting down on a chair.
FAITH
Lilah?
Cut back to Angel's office.
ANGEL
You set an appointment with Lilah...for Faith?!
WESLEY
She has nowhere else to go. Her companions left her here as they went cross-country to the other hellmouth
LORNE
I always thought she added to the mix of our spice bowl of vampires, psychics, and demons
GUNN
Okay, besides Faith; are we ready to have our meeting?
FRED
I want to; I can't wait to learn what I'm going to do
ANGEL
(Holding a folder as he sits down on the head of the table) Sit down everyone (they do so) the officials of Wolfram & Hart, well the ones besides us, have helped me decide the roles of which you will play
The camera pans to Wesley, waiting.
ANGEL (voiceover)
Besides being my official CEO Assistant, Wesley will be the head of Demonology. He will be talking to the demons first and interacting with the demons first. Since he knows a surplus of languages
GUNN (voiceover)
Soon, remember about the operation
Pan to Gunn
ANGEL (voiceover)
Yes, after the operation Gunn will know complete knowledge of the law system. And of course he will be ahead of that
Pan to Lorne
ANGEL (voiceover)
Because of Lorne's empathy power, Lorne will be the resort when things get drastic. Call him a psychologist, if you will.
Lorne pouts a little
ANGEL (voiceover)
And yes, Lorne, you part time will do entertainment
As Lorne smiles the camera pans to Fred
ANGEL (voiceover)
Fred will be the last resort to anything, and I mean everything, that goes to the labs down in the basement. But mostly she'll be my right hand...girl
WESLEY (voiceover)
And we'll be working together a lot, as well
Fred giggles as the camera zooms out
ANGEL
So is Faith soon going to join us?
WESLEY
We don't know how long this meeting will be
GUNN
Yeah, Lilah's meetings are long. I remember
Cut to the office Faith was in. This time Angel, Gunn, and Lorne are there. Lilah opens the door
LILAH
I see you're all in
LORNE
Well most of us, I couldn't really find Fred and Wes
LILAH
We can do without them, so you want one last tour. Together?
ANGEL
That is what I've asked for.
LILAH
Okay (Presses a button on her desk) we’ve set up a video personally for you five. Well now three. This explores what we do around here
ANGEL
This isn't what I asked for; I don't want this video crap. I want the real deal, not some artificial tour Lilah! You know what I want, so give it to me
LILAH
Hold on there cowboy, I don't have the time
ANGEL
What else do you do in this hell hole? Aren't you dead
LILAH
Well my contract still restricts me to here
ANGEL
Stop lying to me! There is no contract, and I know it
LILAH
What's this then? (She takes a paper from her drawers and places it on the table)
The camera cuts to the contract which reads 'Lilah Morgan'. The camera then cuts to the middle of the contract 'forever property of '. The camera cuts to the bottom of the contract which reads in bold read 'Wolfram & Hart'. The camera cuts back to the original scene
LILAH
Is that enough proof for you?
GUNN
Can't you quit?
LILAH
That's the point of the contract, it doesn't matter. So you want the tour?
ANGEL
If we approve, and this is an 'if', we will have control of all employees.
LILAH
Yes
ANGEL
And their contracts?
LILAH
(Unsure) Uh....yes, why?
ANGEL
Nothing and we will have control over our clients?
LILAH
Yes, Angel, so do you want the tour?
ANGEL
No, I want to give my signature
Cut to the Hyperion, day. Fred is fully dressed, as Wesley just zipped up his pants
WESLEY
I'll go there first, to make it seem like we weren't together
FRED
Sounds good. (Wesley heads out the Hyperion as Fred sighs) Sounds good
Pans as Fred walk to one of the Hyperion's tables, where there are bunch of un-sorted paper. The camera slowly zooms on as Fred slowly holds up a paper reading: 'Tabula Rasa'
Cut back to the office
LILAH
I'm sorry it took so long, but you no how officials are. We had to agree on the final print, there is always an argument. No matter what
Cut to the door as Wesley busts through it
WESLEY
Sorry I'm late
LILAH (voiceover)
You’re right on time
Cut back to the office
WESLEY
What is she talking about Angel?
ANGEL
I'll answer ONCE you tell me where you were
WESLEY
I was doing an errand
GUNN
We are going to give our signature
WESLEY
On the contract?
LORNE
Yes, all we need is Freddy to sign
LILAH
You don't need to have Winifred's signature yet, she can sign latter. It's just more formal when you are all together
Cut to the door as Fred busts through it
FRED
Sorry if I'm late
ANGEL (voiceover)
You are late, where were you?
FRED
An errand, so what's up?
WESLEY
We're giving our approval to be the head of the LA branch of Wolfram & Hart
LILAH
So you can sign here, here and here. Five lines for each, I have to make a phone call to someone
ANGEL
Who?
LILAH
Eve, now sign away (Lilah walks out of the office)
WESLEY
I can't believe we are going to do this, Angel!
ANGEL
We had a talk about this
FRED
No we didn't
GUNN
Angel, Lorne, and I did. You two weren't there for someone reason
FRED
It is July, I have things to do. But anyways, these are the people we have fought
ANGEL
We've talked about this Fred; we will now be on top of the people we have fought. It's all good (signs three times)
GUNN
There is no worries honey (signs too)
LORNE
No worries (Lorne smiled as he signed too)
FRED
I guess, Wes?
WESLEY
Okay, but I don't want to say I told you so (signs as well)
FRED
Last but not least (signs)
The camera zooms in on the contract. In bold red is all five signatures, the camera slowly zooms out to reveal the same contract but now in Angel's office. Lorne is no longer there
GUNN
Do we have any cases today?
ANGEL
I have no secretary, so I have no idea. Some other part of the staff is taking care of it
FRED
Shouldn't we? I mean we are the head of this estate
ANGEL
Good point
GUNN
I'm sure it'll be all right. We don't have to take care of everything, do we?
FRED
Shouldn't we?
ANGEL
Too many questions, if you ask me. We should take full control. I should know what is going on in my law firm. Wes I need a secretary
WESLEY
I've already took care of that. Well I already made Lorne take care of it; he's holding auditions in the west club as we speak
Cut to a dim club. Lorne is sitting on the stool, next to three girls. One of them is Harmony. The other two are a red head and a burnette.
LORNE
Man this is a comedian's dream. A blonde, redhead, and a burnette in a club. Okay, anyways you all want to be Angel's secretary?
ALL THREE GIRLS
Yes!
LORNE
Well you have to be able to please Angel to his needs
BURNETTE
Oooh I know how to do that
The camera cuts to the back of the burnette. She pulls up her shirt, as Lorne, redhead, and Harmony gasp
LORNE
I compliment you...on your goods, but this never goes well with Angel. It turns all fangs ahoy, so buh-bye now (waves good boy)
The camera cuts to a sideway view of the scene. The burnette know has her shirt on as she storms off.
LORNE
Well that was interesting, hey blonde don't I know you from somewhere
HARMONY
Uh, I don't think so. Anyways, are you going to interview us?
LORNE
Well, of course
HARMONY
(Turns to redhead) I haven't exactly had the best past with redheads, so I'd look out if I was you
LORNE
I like that spirit, what's your favorite fashion company?
HARMONY
Um... (Leans over at Lorne's neck, where the tag is) Bloomingdales
LORNE
I love ya, darlin'. Or shall I say Ms. Secretary
Harmony giggles and jumps with joy
ACT 2
Angel's office, only Faith & Angel are in it
ANGEL
How are you?
FAITH
What do you want me to be?
ANGEL
Happy?
FAITH
Sounds good (smirks) so how are you?
ANGEL
Not the best
FAITH
You are always not the best, well in your eyes
ANGEL
What?
FAITH
Angel you’re the champion, I've been told by many. Back in the jail people talked about you, since you busted them
ANGEL
Is that good?
FAITH
Well some of those people are killers
ANGEL
And you aren't?
FAITH
I turned a new leaf, yo; you should've stayed to see that battle Angel
ANGEL
Buffy t-told you I was came?
FAITH
Get over her!
ANGEL
I am, I have had affairs with some people (scratches his back)
FAITH
How many?
ANGEL
Uh...2
FAITH
Man, Angel, you're like a humpback whale. Who were these lucky ladies?
ANGEL
No one in particular
FAITH
Was it that brainy girl, Freddy?
ANGEL
N-no...more like Darla....
FAITH
That vampire?
ANGEL
Well...yeah, and (mutters) Cordellia
FAITH
Couldn’t hear that last one?
ANGEL
Cordy
FAITH (laughs)
Your kidding....right....right?
The camera slowly zooms out as their voices slowly fade
FAITH
Oh god, I'm sorry....it's funny
They are silent now as they hug and begin talking again. The camera pans to Wesley & Gunn
GUNN
They are getting along just fine
WESLEY
Yup, last time we saw them they were fighting to the death
GUNN
Times were different then
WESLEY
A lot different
EMPLOYE
(Joins in) The thing on the street is that Faith is going to be the CEO's assistant
WESLEY
But, Allen, that is my job. That just can not be. I know they have history
ALLEN
Boss favors her, it's obvious.
GUNN
It is?
ALLEN
Look at them
Cut to the window through Angel's office, they are hugging again
ALLEN (voiceover)
They are hugging, has he hugged you lately?
GUNN (voiceover)
Sort of....no, not really. But that doesn't mean anything
ALLEN (voiceover)
Things are different here, different definitions around here. Get a new vocab if I was you
Cut to the club, Lorne and Harmony are talking. Fred walks in
FRED
Did you get a secretary for Angel?
LORNE
Look at this bombshell Fred
HARMONY
Hello (Shakes her hand) my name is Harmony
FRED
Lorne! May I speak to for a moment (walks away from Harmony, and whispers) What-are-you-thinking?
LORNE
What are you talking about?
FRED
That-is-Harmony! Re-mem-ber?! She was the butt of all Angel's jokes
LORNE
(Takes a look at Harmony) Oooh your right
FRED
You-have-to reject her, Angel will not allow her
HARMONY
Um...I can still hear you guys
LORNE
It's too let Fred, she already signed the contract
FRED
Can't wait to see Angel's expression
HARMONY
Are you mocking me?
FRED
What do you think?
FRED'S POV Down the hallway to the lab, only Knox is there
KNOX
Hey Fred
Camera cuts to a full view of them two
FRED
Hey Knox (smiles)
KNOX
Want to see our new experiment?
FRED
I'm the head of the science department, aren't I?
KNOX
Yes.... (Waits) So that is a yes
FRED
Yes it is a yes
KNOX
Bit of a tongue twister
They both laugh as Fred follows Knox to a dead girl under sheets
FRED
What happened?
KNOX
It is a slayer
FRED
Out of the thousand?
KNOX
Yes
FRED
Did you kill her?
KNOX
Nope we found her corpse, ran some tests to see that she is in fact a slayer. But the funny thing is, well it isn't that funny, but anyways. The weird thing is that there is also a trace of vampire through her veins
FRED
A vampire vampire slayer? Another tongue twist
They nervously laugh again as the camera cuts to the dead corpse.
KNOX (voiceover)
As you can see....
The camera cuts to two bite marks on the corpse's neck
KNOX (voiceover, continued)
...she is obviously bitten by a vampire. And her strength tops the charts; obviously the vampire blood gave her a boost on her ability
FRED (voiceover) I'm afraid to ask
The camera cuts back to them examining the body
FRED (continued)
But how did she die?
KNOX
We have no idea, maybe a virus, we have no idea
FRED
Are we going to find out?
KNOX
No, we are just going to stare (Fred looks at him a little) Sarcasm
FRED
Oh....okay (embarrassed)
They both turn their backs to get some supplies; the camera slowly zooms in on the corpse's head. All of a sudden it blinks as the camera cuts to Angel's office. Liliah, Angel, and Faith are present
LILAH
You called?
ANGEL
I want to know what Faith will be doing here
LILAH
She didn't tell you
ANGEL
I'm afraid you have to tell
FAITH
Hey I have my reasons, it's an odd job
ANGEL
What is it then?
LILAH
She will be sort of a chief
ANGEL
Expound on that
LILAH
She will be training all are fighters in this facility to fight well, since she is the only slayer in the building present.
FAITH
Hear that Angel? I'm freakin' G.I Jane
LILAH
I keep on telling her that she isn't. You are training all the male and female fighters to their best abilities
ANGEL
Why isn't Gunn apart of this? He is almost as good as Faith
LILAH
We need a top staff of the lawyer branch; I mean it is our cover story. Besides he is getting the operation done as we speak
Cut to a small white room, such as the one on the top floor. There is a dentist-like machine; Gunn is laid back on it. Wesley is over looking as Allen is doing the procedure
WESLEY
What exactly are you doing?
ALLEN
Nothing much
WESLEY
You didn't answer my question
ALLEN
We are placing a microchip in to Charles Gunn's head. This will have him up to date knowledge on everything about lawyers.
WESLEY
Artificial intelligence?
ALLEN
You could say that, but this more like an electronic tutor
WESLEY
How long will this take?
ALLEN
I couple of hours, we need to open up his cranium, make sure the chip has everything, place it in exactly where it is needed, and then close it back up
GUNN
I don't like the sound of opening my head
ALLEN
You'll be drugged
GUNN
Is that supposed to be a relief? Drugs are of the devil's work, like my mom always said
WESLEY
It'll be all right Gunn
Cut to GUNN'S POV, three people with gas masks on place a thing on Gunn.
MASKED GUY
Count backwards.....10....9....8
His voice gets softer as he goes down
MASKED GUY
7....6.....5.....4....
The camera flickers from black to Gunn's POV. Until it stays at black
ALLEN (voiceover)
I rather not have you hear Mr. Price
WESLEY (voiceover)
Okay, just don't kill Gunn
ALLEN (voiceover)
He is in good hands...
Cut to Wesley's office, Wesley is at his desk. Lorne walks in
LORNE
Um...Wes, you got a few
WESLEY
Yes, just researching. Why?
LORNE
Well by accident I hired someone
Harmony appears in the door
HARMONY
Surprise!
WESLEY
Y-y-you hired....her?! (In awe)
HARMONY
Isn't it just the best news you've heard the whole day?
WESLEY
Actually, no. Lorne what is Harmony's job
Lorne makes a shrug
WESLEY (continued)
You’re not telling me....
LORNE
Yup
WESLEY
She's a secretary? Who's?
LORNE
Who else?
HARMONY
I am Ms. Angel's Secretary! Yay!
WESLEY
This is just great, just great. Angel will fire you on the spot
LORNE
She has a 6 month contract until the boss can fire her
WESLEY
Oh....um...I guess the more the merrier
HARMONY
Group hug!
WESLEY
Rather not
LORNE
No thank you
Harmony frowns as she hugs herself
The camera cuts to an alley. The camera cuts closer to Angel and Faith. It's night now.
ANGEL
Did Lilah say it was here?
FAITH
Yup, she said it was an underground training camp
ANGEL
Reminds me of a fellow friend of...
FAITH
Who?
ANGEL
Buffy
FAITH
Oh...Buffy (nods a little as she walks in to this dump)
The camera cuts to this small little hut.
ANGEL
This is crazy
FAITH
A vampire with a soul is crazy, this is just cool
Cut to a small alarm code at the wall of the hut.
Cut back to a wide view of the hut
FAITH
(Looks at a sheet) Okay the code is...
Faith presses a four numbered code as the walls open. Faith and Angel walk down as the camera follows them to a set familiar to the Initiative. There is a woman there waiting for them to arrive
WOMAN
(Shakes hands with Faith) We've been waiting
FAITH
Cool and you are?
WOMAN
Oh I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm the creator of this camp; my name is Ms. Heather Walsh
ANGEL
I guess I'll be leaving you two ladies alone
HEATHER
Yes, I need a private conversation with Ms. (Flips through some papers) I'm sorry I don't have your last name recorded here
Angel leaves going upstairs
FAITH
(Ignoring her last question) So this is a camp?
HEATHER
You could call it that, more like boot camp. We have about 20 recruits, train them, and they will help out with Angel and Your physical work around here
FAITH
Fighting the baddies?
HEATHER
Exactly, right now we are getting our 20 recruits out of the 76 that have applied
FAITH
A lot of pressure on these hands
HEATHER
That won't matter, right? Because you are a slayer, before the litter of them
FAITH
I guess so, I'm nothing special though
HEATHER
Oh but you are, but you are
Cut to the white room, Gunn is still being operating. All the scientists stop working suddenly as Lorne walks in. Obviously making contrast
LORNE
Aren't you people the delightful bunch
ALLEN
And why are you here?
LORNE
Just checking on my little nut case Charlie.
ALLEN
What happened to Mr. Price?
LORNE
He is taking care of business with the b-o-s-s
Cut to Angel's office, Wesley & Harmony are present.
HARMONY
Where is he?
WESLEY
Probably doing something with Faith
HARMONY
Oh my God! You mean that psycho slayer from high school
WESLEY
She's better now, much better
HARMONY
People don't change Wesley, people don't change
WESLEY
Your wrong Harmony, now stay quite while Angel comes in
HARMONY
What conditioner do you use? 'Cause your hair is all wacky
WESLEY
That is none of your business
HARMONY
If you want to.... (Puts on a British accent) "Shag" woman, you'd better make that hair a little....ya know
WESLEY
No I don’t what?
HARMONY
Oh then you wouldn't want to know now
Cut to the door Angel walks in
ANGEL
Hello Wesley and.....
Cut to Harmony
ANGEL (Voiceover, continued)
Harmony....what's she doing here?
Cut to a wide view of the office
WESLEY
Funny thing
ANGEL
It isn't going to be that funny when I stake her
Harmony hides behind Wesley
WESLEY
Since Lorne and Harmony never properly met, Lorne by accident hired Harmony
ANGEL
WHAT?! What is her job here....
WESLEY
It's in blood so, you can't change it
ANGEL
And....
WESLEY
She's your secretary
ANGEL
(Punches the wall and makes a dent) You've got to be kidding me!?
Cut back to the white room
ALLEN
I hope that goes well
LORNE
I'm not sure about that. So what you doing with my fellow Gunn?
ALLEN
We have put the chip with all the Law Knowledge in the left side of his brain
LORNE
So shouldn't you be done?
ALLEN
Not exactly, we are just adding a little more. Just to round it off
LORNE
Is that a good idea?
ALLEN
Of course, we're just giving 110 percent instead of 100
Cut to the lab basement, the 'dead slayer' is now standing behind Fred and Knox
FRED
So what are we going to...do?
KNOX
Us?
FRED
No the corpse
KNOX
Going to run some tests on her, to confirm some theories
SLAYER
I wouldn't do that
Fred and Knox turn around to see the Slayer. The camera cuts to the slayer's eyes as they turn pitch black.
SLAYER (voiceover)
Besides being a vampire and a vampire slayer....
Camera cuts to the wide view the slayer is holding up Knox
SLAYER (Continued)
I'm a Wicca
She throws Knox around the room. The Slayer raises her hand as a green light blasts out sending Fred over as well. The slayer smiles as she makes an explosion
ACT 3
Fade back in on the same scene, the explosion is over. There is stuff scattered across the lab. Knox isn't visible, but Fred is.
SLAYER
I'm not some lab rat you can have fun with. I'm the whole supernatural package
Fred is panting as the Slayer levitates her with telekinesis
SLAYER
Are you even a bit on the supernatural side?
FRED
(Pants) My friend is a vampire
SLAYER
That's nice, so am I
The slayer flings her hand as she makes Fred go flying against the wall
SLAYER
This is going to be fun
Cut to Angel's office, Harmony, Angel, and Wesley are there
ANGEL
I'm sorry, Harmony is fired
Harmony whines
WESLEY
Sorry Angel, she can't be. Not for 6-months
HARMONY
I signed my name in blood
ANGEL
Really? Remind me to talk to Lorne
HARMONY
(Rights something in her notebook) Got it
ANGEL
Harmony get me some pig blood
Harmony walks out of the room, as the camera follows her
EMPLOYE
Did you just fired?
HARMONY
More like hired
EMPLOYEE
Wrong time to get hired, there is a fight in the basement lab
HARMONY
Oooh....I should tell Angel!
Harmony turns around but the employee grabs her hand
EMPLOYEE
No
HARMONY
Why not?
GUNN (Voiceover)
Yes, why not?
Camera cuts to a wide view of the lobby, Gunn, Allen, and Lorne are present
EMPLOYEE
Because things work different around her
ALLEN
Oh don't listen to him. Tim is always babbling nonsense
TIM
I am not!
ALLEN
Oh yes you are, now may I have a word with you Tim about the documents you sent me
Tim and Allen walk off, as Harmony goes to the refrigerator, and Gunn & Lorne walk in to Angel's office
Camera cut to Angel's office with Angel, Gunn, Lorne, and Wesley
LORNE
Hello Mr. Gruesome
ANGEL
Uh hi Lorne
WESLEY
Gunn, is your operation done?
GUNN
Yup (taps the top of his head) everything is inside here
LORNE
Oooh Angel, some guy named Tim told us there is a breakout in the lab
WESLEY
Isn't that where Fred is?
Knox runs in with some scars
KNOX
You guys need to get down there! This slayer/vampire/wiccan is killing Fred
The all run, Lorne is the last one to go out the door
LORNE
Aren't you coming?
KNOX
No...I'll just stay here
Lorne runs out as Knox walks towards Angel's desk and sits down
Cut to the basement, Fred is being held up with a green light surrounding her.
SLAYER
Your ride ends here
The slayer is forming some mystic energy
Cut to a close-on of the Slayer. All of a sudden the slayer falls to the ground. Cut back to original view of the basement to see Faith her foot on the slayer's back
FAITH
I think it is your ride that's ending, Mia
The slayer teleports behind Faith and punches her
MIA
Bitch
Faith ducks the second punch and kicks Mia in the gut. Mia falls back a little as she runs towards Faith pushing her against the wall. Faith slides out of Mia's grasp and jumps kicking her in the chest. Mia falls to the ground, but levitates back up. Mia vamps and gives a punch at Faith; her fist is glowing with mystical light. Faith is sent back a couple feet
MIA
Now to end it
HEATHER (Voiceover)
I don't think so
Cut to Heather a couple of yards from Mia, behind her are the 20 recruits
MIA (voiceover)
Oh but I do
A red force flies from Mia's direction sending all 21 of them injured
Cut back to Mia towering over Faith, she extends her arm to see a red fireball (ex: Willow in Grave) forming in her arms
MIA
Finally I can kill someone
WESLEY (Voiceover)
Zauberei beginnt nicht mehr.
Camera cut to Angel, Gunn, Lorne, and Wesley running down. Wesley is reading from a magic book
WESLEY
Zauberei verläßt diese Tür.
Energy escapes from Mia as she falls back a bit
ANGEL
What did that do again?
WESLEY
Denied her access of her magical abilities
LORNE
So now she is magic-less?
WESLEY
Exactly
Gunn runs to Fred, as the camera cuts to Gunn kneeling down to the hurt Fred
GUNN
You all right sweetie?
FRED
Not the best, but I'm okay
Gunn leans down to kissing Fred
FRED
Have you got the operation?
GUNN
Yup, I'm a lawyer executive
Cut back to Angel, Lorne, and Wesley. Wesley is making a sick face towards the Fred and Gunn action
LORNE
I just love when lovebirds are being lovebirds
Angel runs up towards Mia, and attempts to punch her. Mia grabs Angel's hand and twists it
MIA
You people don't understand, I'm still a slayer
WESLEY
Sorry, but when I did the magic disability that also goes for ever magic spell on you. Well besides mine. Which means that slayer spell done to you, is over
MIA
What?
Faith punches Mia from behind. Lorne throws a stake to Faith, as Faith is about to stake her
FAITH
You're just a vamp now, sweetie
Faith thrusts the stake as the camera cuts back to Angel's office. Angel, Faith, Gunn, Wesley, Lorne, and Fred are there
ANGEL
So how did you know Mia?
FAITH
We picked her up along the way, she ran away as we reached around this place. When looking for her is when the whole Wood trauma happened. And now I'm here
WESLEY
She was an interesting character, a Wiccan slayer bit by a vampire.
FRED
(A cast and bruises) Yea.....interesting all right
GUNN
You'll be as good as new soon honey
FRED
I hope so; will you make it all better?
GUNN
(Kisses her cast) Of course
LORNE
Hate to break this whole 'we killed a lady' talk, but isn't there a vampire with slayer blood out there
FAITH
My men are taking care of that, I need to take care of something myself though
Faith walks out
LORNE
I got a little date of my own...
Whistling Lorne walks out
ANGEL
Do I need an excuse? I'm the boss
Angel walks out
GUNN
Do you want to come back with me?
FRED
I don't know
GUNN
Okay, I'll let you rest
Gunn walks out
WESLEY
(Smiles) Just us here
FRED
No, no Wesely! I've been with Gunn for about two months now; I thought we stopped "running" in to each other
WESLEY
I guess so
FRED
It'll never happened again
Fred walks out
WESLEY
I guess this is my cue to leave
Wesely turns out the lights as the camera fades to black.
Camera fade back in on a hospital waiting room, its night, Faith is there in the waiting room. Angel walks in
FAITH
How did you know I'll be here?
ANGEL
Where else were you going to go? So how is Robin doing?
FAITH
They are going to let me check on him in a few seconds
ANGEL
Oh, so...
FAITH
Do you want to come?
ANGEL
Where?
FAITH
To Robin's hospital room
NURSE
(Walk in) You can see Mr. Wood now
FAITH
You coming?
ANGEL
Sure
Camera cut to the hospital room, Faith and Angel are standing looking down at Robin. Robin is smiling a little
ROBIN
(Weakly and slowly talking) You came
FAITH
Yup
ROBIN
With a friend?
FAITH
No one much
Angel awkwardly waves
ROBIN
Oh, Faith, I love you
Faith places holds hands with Robin
ROBIN
I love...
Camera cut to the IV he's on. Cut back to the heart rate machine. It starts to drop, beeping
Cut to nurses running towards Robin, trying to revive him.
Cut to the waiting room, Angel & Faith are waiting. The same nurse walks in
NURSE
I'm so sorry Ms, I'm so sorry
The Nurse leaves as the camera cuts to the door swinging. The camera cuts back to Faith leaning against Angel's chest crying. Cut again, Angel is holding Faith. Cut again Faith is on the ground sobbing holding close to Angel. Cut to a bird-eye's view of them on the waiting room carpet crying.
