EXT. UNKNOWN GRAVEYARD SOMEWHERE IN L.A TIME UNKNOWN
BACKGROUND MUSIC: I GRIEVE PETER GABRIEL.
WE HAVE AN AIR SHOT of a GRAVEYARD. The sky is grey and rain is poring down like a
sad curtain on a group of people who stands around a fresh grave. The CAMERA SWEEPS
DOWN and PANS IN SLOW MOTION from face to face, beginning with GILES to the left.
Then theres FAITH, XANDER, WILLOW, DAWN, ANDREW, BUFFY, ANGEL, JOHN,
DANA, CANDY, FIONA and a whole bunch of SLAYERS. They all stand with their heads
bowed as in deepest respect and we can see quite a few tears being shed. The CAMERA
FOCUS on Buffy and Angel as the vampire reaches out a hand to grasp hers.The CAMERA DRAWS BACK and SPINS AROUND to reveal a simple gravestone with the
inscription:
AERIN BROWDER
1981-2007
WE ONLY PART TO MEET AGAIN, MY LOVE.
ZOOMING IN on a single WHITE ROSE lying on the ground before the stone.

A CLOSE UP on Buffy, showing us the tormented expression in her tearstained face.

ACT IINT. UNKNOWN ROOM LOCATION UNKNOWN NIGHT
SPOTLIGHT on SPIKE standing by a window, looking out with unseeing eyes. Everything
about him shouts AGONY and we feel for the poor vampire. His appearance is overall
ruggedly; with saggy jeans and a dusty grey shirt. His hair is obviously unkempt but the
look really suits him.
We hear a noise OFF CAMERA and its closing in on Spike. We recognize the noise as steps
and soon ILLYRIA appears into view. The god king walks over to the spot where the vampire
stands in a silent vigil and stops only a few inches away.
ILLYRIA
How much longer shall we linger here in this wretched place?
SILENCE.
ILLYRIA
Your grief hangs off of you like rotten flesh.
(whispering)
Theres nothing in this world but grief.
ANGLE on Spike. The vampire clenches and unclenches his fists and theres a muscle
twitching in his jaw. SUDDENLY we can hear the unmistaken sound from an unsteady heart-
beat. The tiny noise grows stronger for each second and the vampire wrinkles his forehead asin confusion. Theres a GASP from Illyria and the CAMERA PANS AROUND.
FOCUS ON Illyria. Shes rigid, her back flat against a wall, her eyes squeezed shut, her hands
in fists over her chest. She looks to be in great pain.
SPIKE
(anxiously)
"Blue!"
ANGLE on Spike as he runs over to the entity and kneels before her. He pulls her fists away
and takes them in his own trembling hand. She opens her eyes very slowly to look at Spike.
SPIKE
"Gave me a scare there, you did."
(searching her face)
Why did you do it?
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
5/44
ILLYRIA
"Foolishness. I wanted to experience this feeling called grief in order to share it with you.
(looking away)
"It hurt.
(looking back)
This existence is meaningless."
SPIKE
(barely audible)
Illyria.
ILLYRIA
Yes?
SPIKE
Stay with me.
ZOOMING IN on the two of them as their eyes meets and locks with each other. The
moment stretches on as does the silence. Their hands reach out and grasp the other.
ILLYRIA
(tilting her head)
I have nowhere else to go.
SPIKE
(whispering)
Neither have I.

INT. BUFFYS BEDROOM THE HYPERION 06.00 HOURS
WIDE ANGLE on the room to reveal BUFFY and DAWN sitting in Buffys bed opposite the
other. The slayer is casual in a black pyjama and her sister is equally casual in a grey top andlose fitting pyjama pants in the same colour. Both have their hair pulled back from their
clean- scrubbed faces.
DAWN
Do you really think hes gone for good?
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
6/44
BUFFY
(shaking her head)
Hes not gone, Dawn.
(reaching for the sisters hand)
He just needed some time alone.
DAWN
I feel so sad for him, Buffy.
(sighing)
This totally sucks.
BUFFY
Im so with you on the suckage part.
(deep breath)
But Im also worried.
DAWN
Why?
BUFFY
(silently)
Spikes what, one hundred and thirty now? Hes seen more destruction than I everwill, and
hes always been aa force, Dawn. Always. But lately So much has happened in these past
few years How much has to happen before its too much? Before you juststop? Give up?
(beat)How does it take before he goes completely insane?
Theres a knock on the door and the both sisters turn their head against the sound. The door
opens slowly and WILLOW peeks in.
WILLOW
Hey, guys, they need you downstairs. Something about a new threat
FOCUS on Buffy and Dawn as they get up from the bed and head over to the door, still
grasping the others hand in a firm grip.

EXT. UNKNOWN LOCATION L.A DAWN
PITCH BLACK
A LOUD, TERRIFIED SCREAM.
SPOTLIGHT on a YOUNG GIRL, lying in a pool of blood. She seems lifeless and we can
assume that the blood is all hers. And theres a lot of it.
The CAMERA ZOOMS IN, revealing the blank brown eyes that stares into nothingness.
(A.N: The girls clothed in dark trousers, a brown cardigan and high-heeled boots. Shes slim
and rather cute with long chocolate-brown hair and a perky nose. What a waste)
SUDDENLY theres a amused laughter O.C (off camera) and as the CAMERA ZOOMS OUT
we can see more dead bodies. About six or seven so. And theyre all girls.
The CAMERA continues to PAN OUT and we can see a manly figure all dressed in black,
stand at the side, watching over the dead bodies. Its SPIKE!! (A.N: Of course its not theREAL Spike. You nitwit!!) Or rather someone who appears to be Spike.
Theres laughter very similar to the first one, and another figure appears into view. Looking
like Spike. Only this one is clothed in baby-blue jeans a military-green shirt and a suede
jacket.
SPIKE COPY 2
(contently)
What beautiful mayhem youve reeked.
SPIKE COPY 1(beaming)
I did good, dinnit I?
FOCUS on Spike Copy 2 as it surveys the dead girls with a pleasant grin. Creepy
SPIKE COPY 2
(nodding)
m pleased.
SPIKE COPY 1
I thought slayers were harder to crack?
ZOOMING IN on the dead girls.

Fortunately theres more.

CUT TO-
INT. THE LOBBY THE HYPERION 07.00 HOURS
A WIDE SHOT of the lobby reveals 6 people standing scattered all over the room. Its
BUFFY, FAITH, DAWN, XANDER, WILLOW and ANDREW. (A.N: Buffys wearing jeans, a
red top and one ornamented belt in silver. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail and theres
a pair of shoulder length silver earrings to complete the picture. Faith is wearing jeans and a
black top. Her hair hangs lose and shes wearing black wrist cuffs. Dawns clothed in jeans
and a pink top. Her only jewellery is an ornamented cross around the neck. Both Xander and
Willow is dressed all in black and the witchs hair is braided. Andrew wears his usual suit.)
BUFFY
(looking from face to face)
There is evil out there, and I'm gonna kick its ass!
FAITH
(smiling)
Ego tripping much?
The front door suddenly opens with a swift sound and ILLYRIA comes striding in as if she
owns the place. The entity gracefully approaches the group and stops a few inches away.
BUFFY
Wheres Spike?
ILLYRIA
He still grieves for his mate.
(clenching her fists)
I could no longer tolerate the stench. It overwhelmed me. Made me feel filthy.
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
9/44
WILLOW
Its natural to grieve for someone who youve loved and lost.
ILLYRIA
(frowning)
This love is what makes Spike sad. I cannot see its purpose.
BUFFY
(rolling her eyes)
Big surprise there.
(focusing on the group)
Shall we go out and smite all evil?
XANDER
(raising a hand)Question: How do we know where to look?
BUFFY
(sighing)
Its called a hunch, Cyclops. Now lets go.
ANGLE on Illyria as shes passed by the group heading for the front door. As Xander passes
the god king, she stops him with a hand on his arm.
ILLYRIADoesn't it bother you that people call you Cyclops?
XANDER
(raised eyebrow)
Doesn't it bother you that people call you Blue Bitch?
ILLYRIA
(grimly)
Nobody calls me that.
XANDER
(rolling his eye)
Right
ILLYRIA
You attempt to annoy me. It wearies me.

BUFFY
(o.c)
Xander!!
FOCUS on Xander and Illyria as the two of them stares each other down. Buffy suddenly
appears into view and drags Xander with her.
BUFFY
(sighing)
Doesn't anyone listen to one damn word I say?
FADE OUT-
CUT TO-
INT. UNKNOWN ROOM THE HYPERION DAYTIME
SPOTLIGHT on ILLYRIA standing in the middle of the room. She stands rigid and suddenly
she raises a hand to examine it curiously. She flexes the fingers and makes a fist before she
relaxes the arm and starts to investigate the other one in a similar fashion. When shes
finished with that she slowly let the hand travel to her face to touch every inch of it. Long,
delicate fingers covered in leather traces the smooth lines of the face that once belonged to
WINIFRED BURKLE, tracking their way over half closed lids and a slightly parted mouth.
Then her fingers entwine themselves in the hair, gently combing through it.
HOARSE VOICEYoure the embodiment of beauty.
PANNING BACK to a WIDE SHOT of the room. The form of KNOX stands by the window,
looking at Illyria in awe. This would most certainly be THE FIRST.
ILLYRIA
(unfazed)
Youre a fool to show up here.
(facing it)
I could obliterate you in a matter of seconds.
THE FIRST
(amused)
You could beat me.
(beat)
But I cant be destroyed.
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
11/44
ILLYRIA
Everything can be destroyed.
THE FIRST
Is that Fred talking?
ILLYRIA
(clenching her fists)
Winifred Burkle is dead.
(sneer)
The one whose face you wear made sure of that.
THE FIRST
(snickering)
Uhm, yeah. He kinda did, didnt he?
FOCUS on the First as it approaches Illyria almost cautiously. It stops only a meter away and
let his eyes roam over her appearance.
THE FIRST
The fool adored her almost as much as he worshipped you.
(shaking his head)
But he made a poor choice in picking a vessel for the great Illyria.
ILLYRIA(resentfully)
Indeed.
THE FIRST
(nodding)
Yes.
(pause)
You see, it should never have been Fred in the first place.
(morphing into Spike)
It should have been me.
And with that the First disappears in a blink, leaving Illyria with a grim expression on her
face. The entity swirls around and leaves the room in quite a hurry. The door closes behind
her and the scene

CUT TO-
EXT. DARK ALLEY DOWNTOWN L.A DAYTIME
AIR SHOT of the alley as a group of people enters it, idly chatting. The CAMERA QUICKLY
PANS DOWN and ZOOMS IN on the group to reveal; BUFFY, XANDER, DAWN,
WILLOW, ANDREW and FAITH.
BUFFY
My instincts tell me that we might be near something evil.
DAWN
(snorting)
And this would be the Force telling you that?
BUFFY
(hissing)
Brat.
XANDER
(sighing)
Will you two ever stop bantering?
DAWN
(insulted)We do not banter. We Oww!!
Suddenly Dawn is tackled with a demon that comes flying out from a side alley and knocks
her to the ground.
BUFFY
(startled)
Dawn!!
FOCUS on Xander as he pulls the roaring demon away from the young woman who instantly
staggers to her feet.
The demon turns it attention to Xander. (A.N: The demon seems to be FYARL.) Xanders
looks aghast for a second before he punch the demon in the face. Hollering it grabs the man
by the collar and sends him flying a good three meters away.
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
13/44
XANDER
(pained voice)
I am not feeling the force here, Buffy!
BUFFY
(charging the demon)
Screw the force!
FOCUS on Buffy and the demon as they engage in a fight. The blonde slayer jabs the big
demon in the ribs and follows up with a powerful blow to the head. As the demon staggers
back she executes a perfect roundhouse kick and brings it down to its knees. Then she takes
its huge head between her hands and snaps its neck like a toothpick. Before the demon falls
dead to the ground its mouth opens widely and a stream of yellow slime hits Buffy right in
the face.
ZOOMING IN on the horrified expression in Buffys face as the slime drips down her chinand stains the red top.
DAWN
(scrunching up her nose)
Eww.
BUFFY
(wiping her mouth vigorously)
You dont get to say Eww! Youre not the one covered in icky demon-y stuff!!
XANDER
At least its a fetching colour on you.
BUFFY
(narrowing her eyes)
Are you trying to cheer me up?
XANDER
(holding up his hands)
No, wouldn't dream of it.
BUFFY
(deadly smile)
Good, I hate being cheered up.
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
14/44
FAITH
Yo, guys!!
The CAMERA SPINS AROUND to reveal Faith in the far end of the alley. She winks at the
others to come and join her her tone implying shes found something disturbing.
We follow the rest of the group as they head over to the dark haired slayer.
BUFFY
What is it, Faith?
(coming to an abrupt halt)
Oh my God
ZOOMING IN on the pile of dead bodies. Its the dead slayers.
Theres a gagging sound and the CAMERA FOCUS on Dawn as she bends over and vomit.
WILLOW
(o.c)
By the Goddess
The CAMERA SWIRLS AROUND just in time for us to see how the dead bodies on the
ground start to move. One by one the girls stagger up to their feet.
BUFFY
I I dont understand? They cant be vampires its day
GILES
I fear theyre something completely different.
The group of, until recently dead, slayers begin to walk towards our heroes. They look
menacing with their torn clothes and bloodstained eyes.
BUFFY
(flustered)
Run!!
The CAMERA FOLLOWS the retreating heroes as they run down the alley. Then it turns
around to show us a CLOSE UP on a girls face. Shes pale and her eyes are brimming with
rage. Pure rage.

ACT I IINT. SPIKES BEDROOM THE HYPERION - NIGHTFALL
ZOOMING IN on SPIKE lying fully clothed on the bed. The blonde vampire is clothed in
grey cargo pants and a long-sleeved darker grey shirt. His feet are bare and the honey blonde
curls unruly.
Suddenly a trembling hand reaches into view to plant itself on the vampires back, making
him shudder and slowly turn his head to look up at the intruder.
The CAMERA PULLS back to a wide shot and we see the figure of AERIN sitting on the
bedside, smiling down at him.
AERIN (?)
Hello there, cutie.
SPIKE
(blinking)
Youre a dream.
AERIN
(smiling softly)
Yes.
(a lone tear trickling down her cheek)
I am a dream.
SPIKE
(soft smile)
s a good dream.
FOCUS on Aerin as she leans forward and plants a gentle kiss on his forehead. (A.N: Shes
wearing a yellow and white summers dress and her hair hangs lose and whisks around her
beautiful face.)
AERIN
(whispering)
Its time for you to wake up, honey.

SPOTLIGHT on the blonde vampire as his eyes snaps open and he stares out into
nothingness. The CAMERA PULLS BACK to a FULL SHOT of the room and we can see that
its empty.
SPIKE
(hoarsely)
Aerin
FLASH.
A TIGHT SHOT of Spike and Aerin lying cuddled up to each other in tangles sheets. The
vampire is spooning the slayer and they both have a sedated smile on their lips.
AERIN
(dreamingly)
You watch me while we make love.
SPIKE
Youre beautiful.
FLASH.
A CLOSE UP on Spike and Aerin standing on the roof of the Hyperion overlooking the city
as the sun slowly rises on the horizon. (A.N: Spike wears his black ensemble and Aerin
matches him in black leather pants and a black shirt.)
SPIKE
(smiling down at her)
Have I told you that you look beautiful in the mornings?
AERIN
Yes. You do it every day.
FLASH.
SPOTLIGHT on Spike as he slowly sits up in the bed and run a hand through the curls on his
head. His eyes are brimming with emotion and he seems to barely keep it together.

Then theres a knock on the door and his head turns swiftly in that direction. He stares at the
door and growl warningly.
Theres another knock. Louder this time.
SPIKE
(snarling)
Sod off!!
GILES
(muffled voice)
We need your help.
SPIKE
(aggravated)
You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.
BUFFY
(stern voice)
Let us in, Spike!
With a sigh the vampire rises to his feet and staggers over to the door to let in the trio
standing outside. Its BUFFY, GILES and ANGEL. The latter scrunching up his nose as he
enters the hotel room.
ANGEL
It smells like an alcohol factory in here.
SPIKE
(shrugging)
What off it?
BUFFY
I know what youre going through
SPIKE
(holding up a hand)
Dont. Just stop, okay? You cant possible know what Im going through. Ive died so many
times. First when I was sired by Drusilla, then in the Hellmouth and at last in L.A. I thought I
where finished, for Gods sake. And I was.
BUFFY

Theres ashes where my heart should be!! I cant feel anything warm!!
BUFFY

GILES
(interrupting)
We really need your help, Spike
SPIKE
And I needit all to stop!
(ragged breath)I want to stop. Stop fighting. I just want to rest. God, I want to rest. But I cant.
BUFFY
(grimly)
Thats it? You want to just give up and die?
ANGLE on Spike as he focus on her and a sad smile forms on his lips. He slowly shakes his
head.
SPIKENot giving up. s just accepting the unavoidable. My body is weak and my soul is tired. Ive
battled for far too long now and I need to rest.
BUFFY
Rest from what? Life?
(ragged breath)
What do you think youll find? Happiness?
A TIGHT SHOT of Spike as a serene expression spreads over his angelic face. The vampire
reach out a hand and cups Buffys cheek.
SPIKE
Ill find peace, Buffy.
A DEAFENING SILENCE.

The CAMERA FOCUS on Buffy and Faith who stands at the side.
BUFFY

DAWN
(raised eyebrow)
Zombies?
FAITH
Stranger things have happened.
ILLYRIADefine strange.
BUFFY
(pause)
You don't know what strange means?
A GOOD SHOT of the icy gaze Illyria casts in Buffys direction.
ILLYRIA
Your mouth spits out illogical sentences. Of course I know what strange means. But I wouldlike to inquire what the slayer Faith means by stranger things has happened.
FAITH
Well You, coming back in Freds carcass for one.
(smugly)
Thats strange.

BUFFY
(staring at Faith)
You're so stupid, the word special comes to mind.
FAITH
Wha?
The dark slayers words are cut of as Illyria, in a move so fast we cant really see it, pins her to
the wall and squeezes her throat with a deadly glare in those ice blue eyes.
BUFFY
(sighing)
Please dont kill her, Illyria.
ILLYRIAMy patience with this one is deteriorating.
(releasing Faith)
Shes lucky that Im such a forgiving entity.
BUFFY
She sure appreciates it.
(turning to the group)
Now that to issue at hand.
(beat)
How do we kill 'em?
WILLOW
Can't kill'em, Buffy, cause they're already dead.
BUFFY
(impatiently)
You know what I mean. Can we stake them?
WILLOW
Theyre not vampires.
BUFFY
Ah, forgot about that.
(beat)
Can we shoot 'em?
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us

WILLOW
(shaking her head)
No internal organs to disrupt.
BUFFY
Ah, we'll light them on fire.
(rubbing her hands while laughing)
Have ourselves a little barbeque.
WILLOW
(another headshake)
Not flammable.
FOCUS on Buffy as she stops laughing and glares at her fellow combatants.
BUFFY
(frowning)
Drown 'em?
WILLOW
Doesnt work.
BUFFY
(getting irritated)
Then what for fucks sake?! Silver bullets???!!
ANGEL
(peeved)
How many more ways of hurting things can you think of?
Theres that pout we all know and love. Right? (Aww, shes so cute.)
BUFFY
Obviously not nearly enough.
FAITH
We need a plan.
XANDER
(sighing)
Our plans never work. Were doomed.
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us
23/44
BUFFY
(thoughtfully)
Why do our plans never work?
GILES
Murphy's Law.
BUFFY
(brow knit)
Eddie Murphy has a law?
A MOMENT OF SILENCE.
A SHOT of the varieties facial expressions; Illyria simply glares at the blonde slayer, Giles
rubs his nose, Angel looks resigned as do the Scoobies, while the younger slayers seems tobe astonished. John mouth opens as if hes about to say something.
GILES
(snidely)
Just zip it.
Johns mouth closes again.
MORE SILENCE.
BUFFY(looking around)
What?
FAITH
(looking away)
Just let us go out and kick some zombie ass!
Theres a shuffle of feet and the lobby is vacated in a matter of seconds only Buffy
remaining a bit behind with a quizzical expression on her face.

(sighing)
Hes really lost.
ANGEL
Hell bounce right back up again.
(beat)
He always does.
BUFFY
But whats the point? If hes going to die anyway?
ANGEL
We dont know that, Buffy. There might be a way for us to rescue him.
BUFFY
One could only hope.
(coming to a halt)Hey, wait a minute! Did you just grab my ass?
ANGEL
(brow knit)
No?
BUFFY
Then who
(turning to see a really ugly looking demon behind her)
..Gross!!
A WIDE SHOT as the demon who looks like a overgrown Yoda (that little green dude in
Star Wars), leans forward and sniffs in the air surrounding Buffy. It quickly draws back and
jitters something at her in a completely unknown language. It seems to contain a vast variety
of clicking sounds and body language. (The body language being a scrunched up nose and
wide open eyes.)
8/14/2019 Episode 1x15 All About Us

BUFFY
(insulted)
Well I don't particularly like the way YOU smell, either.
Theres sound of running feets and soon theres a bunch of slayers and GILES standing a few
feet away. They look at the demon with puzzlement.
GILES
We heard your scream, Buffy.
BUFFY
I did not scream.
(pause)
Much.
FAITH
What is that thing?
GILES
I think its a Mantleex.
ANGLE on the supposedly Mantleex demon as it once again sniffs the air around Buffy. This
time it steps an inch closer and lets out a happy yelp.

SHOT. BUFFY stands over the demon with her hands on her hips and a smug expression on
her face.
BUFFY

(no response)
I might have saved all our lives.
(silence)
Don't everyone thank me at once.
ANGEL
Ah, Buffy. The poor thing had a crush on you and you killed it?
BUFFY
There was no crush-y thing going on!
ANGEL
Your kids would have been so cute.
BUFFY
(fingering her stake)
Angel, this is the kind of conversation that can only end in a staking.
ANGEL
(hands in the air)
I give.
BUFFY
You better.
ANGEL
(as she walks off)
But they would have been cute,
(laugh)
Not!!

picture with a smiling AERIN. Sometimes alone and sometimes accompanied by an equally
goofy Spike.
SPIKE

s all thats left of her. My raven slayer. This and a lingering scent in this room. This
building. Haunting me. Tormenting me.
ILLYRIAYour anguish rolls off of you like mist in the marshlands of Obandau.
(wistfully)
It is an abomination.
A WIDE SHOT reveals ILLYRIA besides the bed, sitting on the floor. She holds a picture in
her hand and studies it curiously.
SPIKE
Look, High and Mighty, Im fine
ILLYRIA
(narrowing her eyes)
I have trouble believing you.
(a thin smile graces her face)
It may be because I know youre lying.
SPIKE
(sad smile)
Knew you would, pet.
FOCUS on the tears that silently start to run down his pale cheeks.
SPIKE

ILLYRIA
(silently)
She died for a higher purpose. And she died knowing that you were safe.
SPIKE
Rot. She died for me! Im a fucking monster. I should have died in her place. She was worth
ten of me.
(pause)
She told me that shed die before letting anything happen to me. But I really thought it was
my turn to go first. But now Im the one left behind.
(sniveling)
Now what do I do?
A CLOSE SHOT of the two of them as Illyria reach out a hand and slowly place it on his tear-
stained cheek.
ILLYRIA
You live. For her.
SPIKE
(closing his eyes)
Always.
A MOMENT OF COMPLETE SILENCE.
ILLYRIA
Do you wish to do violence?

deep conversation. FAITH, XANDER, CANDY, DANA and JADE occupies the couch and

GILES
(looking in the vampires direction)
Not quite, no.
JOHN
(chagrined)
Its most vexing indeed.
BUFFY
I still say we blast them into oblivion.
XANDER
(chiming)
Like with the Judge!!
(makes kah-bloie noise)That was fun!
GILES
That
(blinking)
could actually work?
SPIKE
We should capture one of them first and see what it is. What made them.
ANGLE on the stairs as SPIKE and ILLYRIA gracefully descends. The vampire is clothed in
black cargo pants and a black shirt. (Yummy all around.)
BUFFY
(wrinkled nose)
Like we did with that Bringer?
XANDER
(snorting)
Cause that worked so well.
GILES
Nice to see you up and about.

EXT. DARK CEMETERY- DOWNTOWN L.A NIGHT
SPOTLIGHT on ANGEL and DAWN as they make their way through the graveyard.Suddenly theres a roaring sound and a huge and its REALLY huge, demon appears as from
nowhere and knock Angel to the ground in one powerful blow. The vampire lays there
unmoving and we get a CLOSE UP on the peeved expression in Dawns face.
A WIDE SHOT as the demon roars again and charges at the young woman who shrieks and
turns on her heel to run, with might I say an impressive speed. But shes obviously shit for
luck, because she stumbles and falls to the ground with an umf.
DAWN
(huffing)
Just my luck.
The demon stands over Dawn and shows off an alarming amount of sharp teeth as he opens
his mouth to roar once again. Theres also very much drooling going on there. (Yuck.)
(A.N: the demon itself is black in its colouring, with two sets of arms and long claws. It has a
pair of eyes that glisten in pure red and it walks upright. In a way it kinda reminds of a
werewolf but without the fur and add scales.)

DAWN
Dont eat me!
(panting)
I havent showered. Im disgusting!!
HUNGRY ROAR.
BUFFY
Why don't you pick on somebody your own...my size?
ANGLE on BUFFY appearing into view from the left. The blonde slayer cast a fast and
inquiring glance in her sisters direction before completely focusing on the demon.
DAWN
(happily)Buffy!!
BUFFY
(gritting her teeth)
I'm gonna win this fight and save your ass, that way I can kick it myself later.
FLASH.
ZOOMING OUT from the dead body of previous demon. BUFFY and DAWN appears into
view. The two sisters stand facing each other. Buffy with a grim expression on her stern faceand Dawn with a hesitant smile.
DAWN
Look, uh, you're probably a little bit upset, huh?
BUFFY
(raised eyebrow)
No, I've moved past upset and straight to pissed off.
DAWN
The good new is that Im alright!
BUFFY
(sighing)
You have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from knocking you on your ass.

sitting position.
ANGEL
(confused frown)

BUFFY
I told you to look after Dawn.
ANGEL
Er Sorry?
BUFFY

EXT. THE CEMETERY DOWNTOWN L.A NIGHT
The CAMERA CIRCLES AROUND the group of dead SLAYERS as they march through the
dark cemetery. Their strides are fast and they seem to have a goal as they move as one over
the grass.
BUFFY
Hey!! Over here, you bags of flesh!!
As one the dead slayers come to a halt and turn in the direction of the blonde slayers voice.
BUFFY stands under a tree with her hands on her hips and a grim smile on her lips.

The dead girls immediately moves forward in her direction but once again come to an halt as
they suddenly surrounded by the rest of the alive slayers, the three watchers, the two
vampires and ILLYRIA.
BUFFY
Oh.
(mocked surprise)
Did I forget to tell you it was a trap?
After some hesitation the dead girls scatter in different directions, in order to engage in a
fight. We FOCUS on Buffy as shes charged at by three girls at the same time. The blonde
slayer seems to have some difficulty in fighting them off. As from nowhere Illyria shows up
and rips all three girls of off Buffy in one swift motion.
BUFFY
(coughing)
Thanks!
FAITH
(yelling)
Theyre too strong, B!
GILESAnd they cant be killed by stakes!!
JOHN
Or by crossbows!!
FOCUS on Illyria as she picks on of the dead girls up by the throat and rips the head off
without any effort. The body slumps to the ground motionless. As does the head shortly
thereafter.
FOCUS on SPIKE as he copies Illyrias method and dispose of three girls rather quickly. In a
matter of seconds the two of them have managed to kill their enemies except for one. The
dead slayer is held firmly by Illyria and doesnt seem too pleased about it.
ILLYRIA
The trouble with being infallible is that you have to deal with everyone else making
mistakes.

GILES
Is that a gentle reminder that youve been an important part of this since the very
beginning?
ANGEL
Shes subtle, huh?
GILES
(scrutinizing the dead slayer)
Shes not a zombie, but seems to be in a suspended animated state.
BUFFY
Huh?
ILLYRIA
They can be destroyed.
(tightening the grip)
That is all that matters.
GILES
Remember we want it for questioning.

I dont understand. Willows spell should have made sure that this thing will communicate
with us.
DEAD SLAYER
It will swallow us all.
SILENCE.
FOCUS on the varieties looks of astonishment amongst the others as they stare at the dead
girl. She in turn stars right ahead with her creepy bloodstained eyes.

From the heat beneath
BUFFY
(shaking her head)

The blonde vampire is dressed in brown cargos and a white shirt. Suddenly theres a shiver
running down his entire body and he gets a strange look in his eyes.
SPIKE
(monotone voice)
From beneath you it consumes.
VOICE OF AERIN
(o.c)
It really does.
PANNING OUT to a WIDER SHOT of the scene/roof. What appears to be AERIN but
couldnt be anything but THE FIRST, is approaching Spike. It looks rather fetching in a black
bohemian skirt and a green blouse. The long ravened hair whips in the soft breeze.
THE FIRST
Hello, cutie.
Spike moves forward so fast we cant really follow. All we know is that in one moment hes
standing at the edge of the rooftop and in the next his up close with the First, holding theentity in a firm grip by the throat.
SPIKE
(sneering)
Time to die.
The First simply smiles, before going all poof and appearing only a few meters away from
the irritated vampire.
THE FIRST
(inquiringly)
Would you really kill me, Spike? When theres a part ofherin me?
(beat)
