FAITH TURNS, SHE HAS HE HAND READY TO STRIKE

There appears to be some trouble with your car

EXT – BOSTON STREET – NIGHT

THE SNOW IS FALLING AROUND THALIA, CONNOR & DAWN AS THEY WONDER THE STREETS OF BOSTON, PASSING DOLLY’S ON THE WAY.

DAWN
When do you think it’s re-opening?

THALIA
Apparently it’s some gadget shop – not the good kind though, the real kind

CONNOR
Good kind?

THALIA
Sex

CONNOR
Oh

DAWN
I can’t believe she just upped and left

CONNOR
Right that hasn’t happened for…oh three months now

DAWN
She’s out there somewhere Connor

CONNOR
I wasn’t talking about her, If she can let someone pass as dead for her then she can do anything

DAWN
Hey! If we hadn’t forgotten this is still Faith we’re talking about

CONNOR
Right, you’re “sister”

DAWN
She is

CONNOR
Yeah for the past nine months only

THALIA
Guys, Christmas spirit

CONNOR
Sorry, hard to get into it knowing that so much has changed
(pause)
Tara, Faith both gone, Garrisons dead, Ryan’s in prison for saying he killed Casey and the Piper

DAWN
What?

CONNOR
I…nothing

DAWN
Ryan didn’t say that, right? He…they said that
(pause)
I thought he was being blamed for the piper and that the trial it would prove…

CONNOR
Maybe if you’d spoken to him since you’d know more

DAWN
What does that mean?

CONNOR LOOKS AT DAWN WITH SHAME BEFORE SHAKING HIS HEAD. HE WALKS OFF KICKING SNOW UP FROM UNDER HIS FEET.

DAWN TURNS , TEARY EYED, TO THALIA FOR SUPPORT

THALIA THROWS HER HANDS IN SURRENDER

THALIA
Not my place to say

SHE GIVES DAWN A HALF-EMPTY SMILE BEFORE FOLLOWING ON DOWN THE STREET LEAVING DAWN STANDING.

CUT TO.

INT – CAR MECHANICS – DAY

‘Texas – December 21st 2005’

FAITH IS STOOD BY A SWEATY MAN IN HIS MID FOURTIES, HE’S OVER WEIGHT AND UNSHAVED WEARING A STRING VEST AND OIL STAINED DENIM PANTS.

FAITH
Look, It’s hot and I’m pissed I just ate and you’re grossing me out so have we got a deal or what?

GUY
Yeah we gotta deal

FAITH
Keys first

GUY
Money first

FAITH PULLS OUT HER WALLET AND COUNTS OUT THE CASH

FAITH
3…4…450 dollars – keys now.

THE MAN PASSES FAITH THE KEYS SMILING EXCITEDLY

GUY
The rest

SHE ROLLS HER EYES IN DISBELIEF BEFORE TUCKING HER FINGERS UNDER THE BOTTOM OF HER SHIRT AS IF LIFTING IT UP.

CUT TO.

EXT – CAR MECHANICS – DAY

FAITH PROUDLY WALKS OFF TO HER NEW CAR AS THE MAN LAYS AGAINST THE DOOR-WAY WITH HIS HAND COVERING A BROKEN NOSE.

FAITH
(mock “Dolly Parton” voice)
No way to treat a lady mister

SHE CLIMBS INTO THE CAR AND STARTS THE MOTOR UP, IS JOGS AT FIRST PUSHING FAITHS FRUSTRATION BEFORE SHE GEARS UP AND HITS OUT INTO THE LONG WIDE ROAD.

FAITH
Alright!

CUT TO.

EXT – ROADSIDE – TWENTY MINUTES LATER

FAITH IS STOOD LEANING AGAINST THE CAR AS STEAM BUCKETS FROM IT’S BONNET.

FAITH
This is pushing the limit

(O.S)VOICE
Was the same way when I owned it

FAITH SPINS TO SEE A YOUNG MAN STOOD SMILING WITH HIS ARMS FOLDED, THE SUN HIGHLIGHTS HIM BEYOND BELIEF, ALMOST AS IF HE IS GLOWING – A SHOCKED SMILE CRAWLS ACROSS FAITHS LIPS.

FAITH
Jones?

END OF PART ONE

FAITH IS STILL STOOD BY THE CAR NERVOUSLY PACING IN SHOCK

FAITH
You The First?

JONES
I’m hopin’

FAITH
The First evil smart ass

JONES
You’re kidding me right? What an amateur – it’s me alright in the flesh
(beat)
Or, not in the flesh but it is…me

FAITH
You’re dead – like not freshly bit, you’re smashed to death and seven years gone kinda dead!

JONES
Nice way to put it

FAITH
Never been a poet
(shocked)
So, you’re really you? Only dead you? Ghost you?

JONES
Like I said, I’m me

FAITH
Then why are you here?

JONES
You’re driving my grave – I’m very territorial

FAITH
This is it? This is Celine?

JONES
Actually, the repaint makes her look more of a…Betty

FAITH LAUGHS QUIETLY AT THE JOKE BEFORE TURNING SERIOUS

FAITH
Did I crash and die?

JONES
No you’re alive and kickin’ well not right now but I’m sure you kicked something in the last hour or so

FAITH
Was about to kick the crap out of this heap til’ you arrived
(pause)
I’m talking to a ghost

JONES
Right, cause your life is so normal

FAITH
Can I ask you a question?

JONES
No

FAITH
You know I’m gonna

JONES
No You can’t ask that question, you can’t ask when I died because you know

FAITH
No I don’t

JONES
You sure about that?

Boston, September 1998

THE RAIN IS POURING DOWN HEAVILY AS FAITH KISSES JONES ON THE LIPS BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE BUS.

JONES
Faith don’t go!

FAITH
Girls gotta do what she’s gotta do Jones

CUT TO.

FAITH
That night?

Boston, September 1998

FAITH STEPS OFF THE COACH INTO THE AIRPORT, LOOKING AROUND BEFORE CONTINUING ON.

ON BUSY ROAD ELSEWHERE, JONES, WIPING THE STEAMED SCREEN INSIDE HIS CAR, IS CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC

JONES
C’mon!

HE SLAMS HIS HAND ON THE HORN BEFORE STEERING TO THE SIDE HEADING DOWN A SIDE ROAD.

JONES LOOKS AT HIS WATCH DESPERATELY, AS HE LOOKS UP HE SEES A DEER AHEAD OF HIM, SWIRVING, HE CRASHES INTO A WOODEN FENCE STRAIGHT INTO A LAKE AS HIS CAR SINKS DEEP – HE STRUGGLES TO REMOVE HIS BELT.

FADE TO WHITE.

FAITH
I’m sorry

JONES
Not your fault
(laughs)
I blame my love for animals

FAITH IS HURT BUT SHE MANAGES TO LAUGH FOR HIM

JONES
So it wasn’t that funny

FAITH
Jones it’s been seven years why are you here?

JONES
You ever see a Muppet’s Christmas Carol?

FAITH
Christopher Walken?

JONES
Right, well – being that it’s Christmas and all we’re going for a trip down memory lane, well, sort of

FAITH
Sort of?

JONES
I got some stuff I need you to see, get in the car

FAITH
It’s broken

JONES
Trust me

WITHIN A FLASH BOTH ARE IN THE CAR, IT’S SPEEDING DOWN THE ROAD AT GREAT SPEED, HEADING STRAIGHT FOR A WALL

FAITH
What are you doing? Are you crazy!

JONES
As Ever!

WITH THAT, THE WALL DISSOLVES INTO NOTHING AS THE TWO APPEAR STANDING IN A PRISON CELL.

Prison – July 2000

FAITH
Why are we here?

FAITH LOOKS ON AT HERSELF, SHE’S REMOVING HER BEDSHEETS AS SHE STOPS IN HER TRACKS

JONES
You know what moment this was?

FAITH
Yeah you got a point?

JONES
It’s the moment you were thinking about wrapping that thing around your neck, ending it – calling another to do the mission you failed

FAITH
Wow, you still know how to piss me off

JONES
You remember two years ago when you broke out of this place? Remember all that?

FAITH
You mean when I got all those girls blown up, it’s fresh

JONES
Look on the wall, what’s the time

FAITH
Eleven fifty

JONES
Read it as digital

FAITH
2, 350

JONES
That’s how many people would’ve died within an hour of Buffy’s defeat if you hadn’t turned up when you did

FAITH
Yeah right

JONES
You think she came back kicking because there was some soft inspirational music and montage? If those girls didn’t believe you’d lead better than her – she’d not have gotten out of that house, she wouldn’t have rested and refreshed or got the scythe – it’d all be over

FAITH
You’re saying I changed it all?

JONES
Not just you but – fate’s fate – why d’ya think this happened at 11,52?

FAITH LOOKS OVER AT HERSELF WHO SNAPS OUT OF A TRANCE AS THE EMERGENCY FIRE BELL BEGINS TO SOUND.

CUT TO.



CUT TO.

INT – BOSTON PRISON

DAWN IS SAT WITH THALIA WAITING FOR RYAN TO COME TO THE WINDOW, SHE HAS HER HANDS RESTED IN HER LAP AS SHE LOOKS AROUND NERVOUSLY.

DAWN LOOKS AT THALIA HARD BEFORE SITTING DOWN NEXT TO HER, SHE LOOKS OVER AS THE FIRST OF THE PRISONERS STEP OUT

DAWN
I’m sorry

SHE STANDS UP BEFORE SEEING RYAN AND JETS OUT AS IF HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.

RYAN SOON APPROACHES AND PICKS UP THE PHONE

RYAN
She think I hate her or something?

THALIA

RYAN
Dawn, she ran away like a rabbit on steroids

THALIA
Dawn? No she wasn’t here she’s shopping

RYAN

THALIA

RYAN
The new powers and faith-factor of using them

THALIA

RYAN
Serious mis-use leading to big police chase and – nothing good.

THALIA

RYAN
You’ll tan quicker

THALIA

THALIA

RYAN

Not for that, although thanks for that also, but thanks for being this way

THALIA

RYAN

(beat)
You’ve got facial hair, I didn’t know you could do that…

ANDREW

DAWN
Haven’t had time? What’ve you been doing?

SHE LOOKS UP AS ANDREW TURNS HIS HEAD TO THE BUILDING BEHIND HIM. IT’S PIPERS.

DAWN
Andrew…

ANDREW
You wanna come inside? Yeah I cleaned it up real good, it’s all shiny and stuff

SHE LOOKS AT HER FRIEND WITH THE DEEPEST PITY IN HER EYES BEFORE FOLLOWING HIM INSIDE.

SHE LOOKS AROUND THE AMAZINGLY SPOTLESS ROOM, IT’S CLEAN AS ANYTHING – UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON.

DAWN
So this is what you’ve been busy with?

SHE LOOKS DISTURBED AS GARRISONS NAME IS SCRAWLED ALL OVER THE WALLS, PICTURES OF HIM AND SKETCHES OF THE PIPER ARE EVERYWHERE.

ANDREW
It’ll be a nice surprise

DAWN
Surprise?

ANDREW
For Garrison, when he comes back

CUT TO.

FAITH
This moment is so cheesy!

JONES
It’s pretty, after school special, but pretty

*FAITH WALKS INTO ANGELS OFFICE AND SITS AT HIS EMPTY DESK WHERE SHE BEGINS TO RIFLE THROUGH THE DRAWS. SHE COMES ACROSS A PICTURE OF HER WITH BUFFY, WILLOW & CORDELIA FROM BACK IN SUNNYDALE, XANDERS HEAD’S BEEN CUT OUT.

*FAITH
Happy

FAITH
I hate this, why did you bring me here…

JONES
It’s fun to watch

Happy, what a weird word…Ha-p-py, hap-py, I’m happy?
(laughs)

*FAITH LEAPS ONTO THE TABLE AND BEGINS TO DANCE WHILST SINGING THAT SHE IS HAPPY.

FAITH
Did you just bring me here to laugh?

JONES
You don’t remember?

*FAITH STEPS DOWN FROM THE TABLE AND COMES FACE TO FACE WITH A MIRROR

FAITH
I never got why he had mirrors

JONES
Just watch

*FAITH LOOKS AT HERSELF AND ADJUST HER HAIR BEFORE FIXATING ON HER FACE AND TURNING AWAY, TURNING STRAIGHT BACK AND PUTTING HER FIST THROUGH THE MIRROR.

JONES
You ever gonna get over that? Let’s see

CONNOR
Why the long face?

THALIA

CONNOR
From college?

FAITH
(to Jones)

CONNOR
You’re sure about this?

THALIA
Can’t afford not to be

FAITH
Not to be what?

JONES

THALIA
You’re starting the new job, Dawns really needing time out after the past few months…someone’s gotta replace Faith as head patrol gal slash guy

SHE LOOKS OVER TO SEE THALIA SAT IN THE CHAIR OPPOSITE THE DEAN – HE LOOKS DISSAPOINTED AS DOES SHE.

DEAN

ANDREW
No! He’s coming back he’s just gone away for a while, he’ll come back, he’ll find me

DAWN
Andrew, he’s not coming back

ANDREW IS FORCING HIMSELF INTO DENIAL AS BOTH HE AND DAWN ARE BEGINNING TO CRY.

ANDREW
But why would he lie to me? Why would he do that?

DAWN
I…I don’t know, I’m sorry

ANDREW
No! Then he’s not gone – he’s not dead

ANDREW BEGINS TO WEAKEN AT THE KNEES, SLOWLY SLIPPING DOWN WHERE HE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH GARRISONS HEAD STONE.

ANDREW
I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!

HE BEGINS TEARING AT THE GRASS AND PUNCHING THE HEAD STONE, HIS HANDS BLEEDING

ANDREW
You left me! You lied to me I hate you! You lied!

DAWN PULLS HERSELF DOWN BESIDE HIM AND TRIES TO PUT HER ARMS ROUND HIM AS HE FALLS BACK KICKING THE HEADSTONE

ANDREW
You’re a liar! You never loved me or you wouldn’t have left me on my own! I’m all on my own and it’s your fault
(out of breath)
It’s your fault I hate you

HE BEGINS TO LOSE RESISTANCE AS HE FALLS BACK INTO DAWNS ARMS

ANDREW
(quiet)
I love you so much

Where’d he go?

DAWN
(crying)
In your heart

CAMERA SWIRVE: FAITH IS WATCHING ON IN PAIN AS JONES STAYS BY HER SIDE.

FAITH
I didn’t even know he died

Why didn’t I know any of this happened?

JONES

Because you weren’t here

FAITH LOOKS UP AS TWO VAMPIRES START OVER TOWARDS THE TWO OF THEM, BUNDLED ON THE FLOOR CRYING TO EACHOTHER.

FAITH
Dawn!

JONES
She can’t hear you

FAITH
I have to help her!

JONES
Why you think that you’re the only one who can?

FAITH
What kind of choice?

JONES

(beat)
You gonna fill it?

FAITH
They don’t need me

JONES
Maybe not, but do you need them?

END OF PART THREE

FAITH
Do I need them?

JONES
You never thought about it? Whether you need your sister or the girl who’s become your best friend? The boy who’s all you have left of the only person to believe in you?

FAITH
I don’t know

SHE CONTINUES TO LOOK ON.

DAWN
I’m just gonna go call, check up on Buffy

INT – DAWNS ROOM

SHE SITS ON THE EDGE OF HER BED AND LOOKS AROUND HER, SMILING TO HERSELF SHE OPENS THE DRAW AT HER BEDSIDE AND PULLS OUT A PHOTO FRAME.

SHE SMILES AT IT BEFORE SLIPPING IT INTO A BOX AND TYING A BOW AROUND IT.

SHE SIGNS THE NAME ‘FAITH’ ON THE LABEL AND SIGHS.

DAWN
Maybe next year

SHE SLIPS THE PARCEL BACK INTO THE DRAW AND CHECKS HERSELF IN THE MIRROR BEFORE LEAVING.

JONES
Made up your mind yet?

Back to the road, where the car originally broke down

FAITH
Why are we here again?

JONES
You blind? We’re at a crossroads – it’s your call Faith
