INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

Dawn walks over after hanging up the phone.

DAWN
Willow’s not home yet

CONNOR
Faith I don’t understand what’s happening – you don’t know if all of this is minutes or decades away and you can’t stop something that hasn’t started

FAITH
But you can prevent it

CONNOR
You don’t know where to start – not at all

FAITH
That’s not true

CONNOR
Then fine tell us the plan – you’re making out like this is some huge urgency and we’re all going to need to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. Nothing’s happening we’ve not had a single sign that there’s an apocalypse!

FAITH
What the hell kind of sign do you want?

A loud crash comes from outside as they all rush over to the window, a horse drawn carriage goes by with four well dressed men in the back

CONNOR
That doesn’t count

CUT TO.

INT – MARIA’S HOUSE – NIGHT

Maria is still out on the floor as light floods around her. She wakes up and is in a long white dress in the centre of a field.

MARIA
Oh great, I’m dead!

She looks over and spots a young woman disappearing behind a tree

MARIA
Hello?

Maria follows behind the tree where she finds herself back in her house, looking over her still body.

ANYA
You’re not dead, it’s astral projection

MARIA
Do I know you?

ANYA
We might’ve met once or twice, I’m not sure – maybe you just saw a photograph of me but I’m here because your mind chose me to be your guide so yay for you

MARIA
My guide?

ANYA
Oh, you’re going on some spiritual journey or possibly a hike I forget which one but I think you’re here to learn so you’re not just a woman shaped cabbage being licked by her cat.

Maria looks down and sees that her cat is licking non-astral Maria’s fingers.

MARIA
You’d think this wouldn’t surprise me

INT – ANDREWS BAR – NIGHT

Andrew is back in the bar wiping down as Korben reads a newspaper. Anya and Maria appear out of nowhere

ANDREW
So, do you think anything’s going to come of her dream?

MARIA
Who’s dream?

KORBEN
I don’t know, I don’t even know the girl

MARIA
Hello, who’s dream?

ANYA
They can’t hear you – you’re like not here, just sort of here

MARIA
Who’s dream?

ANYA
Faiths’ dreams, the ones that knocked you out

MARIA
Who’s the guy?

ANYA
In six weeks he’ll officially be co-owner of Andrew’s heart, the night they first share a bed – for now they’ll just kiss that’ll happen a lot after Thursday night

MARIA
What’s Thursday night?

ANYA
Apocalypse. Korben, the guy – he’s gonna play a huge part in the apocalypse, just not this one. It’ll happen next summer I think.

MARIA
Wait – there’s really an apocalypse this week? How big

ANYA
Hard to tell on a scale of big to small, I’d say not small

MARIA
So big?

ANYA
Could be medium, could be big – just not small

MARIA
…Why are we in Andrew’s bar?

ANYA
I figured I’d ease you in lightly to let you know the hot topic throughout this trip

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

ANYA
See that – that is a girl on the edge

Anya points at Dawn

MARIA
She looks kinda calm to me

ANYA
Always watch out for the quiet ones, you heard about Willow right? If Dawn doesn’t get away for a while she’ll probably try and eat someone’s skull

Faith is loading up weapons in her room as Maria and Anya walk in through the locked door.

ANYA
She’s super nervous. Any minute now she’ll get the pictures out

MARIA
What pictures?

ANYA
The mood pictures

MARIA
What?

Faith takes a deep breath and pulls out a set of photo’s from underneath her bed

ANYA
First there’s confidence…

Faith stares hard at a picture of her with Angel stood outside the Hyperion Hotel.

ANYA…
Then the anger…

She flips the page and shakes her head at her parents wedding photo

ANYA
Passion!

Faith looks at a picture of Jones prancing about with her weapons

ANYA
Hope…

Faith places a small picture of Dawn in her pocket.

ANYA
…and Pride

Faith looks hardest at this picture. She’s stood at the academy with her arms around Buffy. Vi, Rona, Kennedy and Harley are also with them.

FAITH
One for the team B

She flashes a smile and tucks the pictures away

MARIA
Wow, she’s pretty deep

ANYA
That’s true. She’s like an onion
(pause)
Lot’s of layers, real hot and can make you cry quite easily

MARIA
I don’t understand why can’t I be having an epiphany about my own life? Why are you showing me everyone else’s?

ANYA
Because you’re already unconscious and it’s easier to work with you than twist fate and make someone else get knocked out…besides it’s not for your benefit it’s for Faiths.

MARIA
Faith’s?

ANYA
None of them have any confidence in her, especially this time around – Jones is the only one that really believes in her and he’s shaky this time so I need you to understand her.

MARIA
I get her

ANYA
You might get her but you don’t understand her – nobody does which is why they’re doubting her. You need to see the world as she sees it in order to “get it” so we’re gonna play This Is Your Life, only it’s her life not yours so we’ll play “This girls Life”

END OF PART ONE

Note: Several scenes will involve looks at Faith’s past – this will be the only dialogue in those scenes thought Maria and Anya will actually be present

~ Boston, 6 June 1982~

BOSTON HOSPITAL : 6.00a.m

DOLLORIS
Take it away from me!

NURSE
Miss, that’s your daughter

DOLLORIS
That is the child of the devil! Can’t you tell? All you must do is look at the time of birth

NURSE
6a.m?

DOLLORIS
On the sixth hour of the sixth day in the sixth month – Satan himself taints her

*

MARIA
My god she was hated from birth

ANYA
Wait until you see Daddy’s reaction…oh wait we don’t see that until Faith’s thirteen and goes to see him in prison to find out why he raped her Mom and left her pregnant

CUT TO.

INT – FAITH’S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Faith’s still in her room as Dawn enters

DAWN
Hey

FAITH
What’s happenin’ kid?

DAWN
Not much, what are you doing?

FAITH
Avoiding everyone

DAWN
How come?

FAITH
They keep looking at me like you are, like I’m insane

DAWN
We don’t think that Faith

FAITH
But you feel it – even though you felt it yourself, so why are you denying what’s going to happen?

DAWN
Because we have no proof, we have nothing – you know what dreams are like, when you were talking about me arriving and Buffy’s death I was a cat and her tombstone was an alarm clock – they don’t make sense. For all we know you were just pre-guessing the arrival of this demon you killed.

FAITH
I’m not wrong Dawn

DAWN
Then show me

CUT TO.

‘Boston High School – May 1998’

Jones walks out of the school and kisses Faith who’s sat on the wall.

JONES
Yo’ Faith you’re spending more time here since you dropped out than you did when you actually were allowed on property

FAITH
You know me cheeks, like to rebel

WOMAN (O.S)
Faith?

FAITH
Depends who’s asking?

Faith chomps on her gum with attitude as Jones hold her around the waist

WOMAN
You need to come with me, your destiny awaits

FAITH
Did I win a car or something?

JONES
Yo’ take a hike reject

FAITH
You heard the guy

WOMAN
Please, Faith I need to speak to you alone, it’s important

FAITH
You’re serious aren’t you?

WOMAN
Deadly

Faith pulls away from Jones and takes the woman to one side

FAITH
(to Jones)
Keep and eye shot

WOMAN
You’ve been chosen Faith, the slayer

FAITH
Grunge music not really my thing but…

WOMAN
THE Slayer, one girl in all the world, a chosen one, she alone will fight against the vampires and demons, she is the slayer

FAITH
And I’m here?

WOMAN
Yes

FAITH
I don’t think so

WOMAN
So you haven’t felt stronger? You haven’t had the dreams?

Faith suddenly looks serious

FAITH
I’m listening

CUT TO.

EXT – BOSTON GRAVE YARD – NIGHT

Dawn and Faith arrive at the same hot spot as the previous episode, Dawn reaches out her hand

FAITH
Feel it?

DAWN
A little, why do I know this place?

FAITH
Quo’Tarth and the plug, I think they’ve meshed that’s why we’ve been getting demons back, ones we’ve not seen – they’re hybrids of the demons we sent away and the demon’s from Quo’Tarth.

DAWN
But…we sealed it off

FAITH
That’s what I thought, but Boston’s burning baby

CUT TO.

‘Boston, October 1998’

INT – JONES HOUSE – NIGHT

Jones returns to find Faith laying on his bed

JONES
Long time no see stranger

FAITH
I’ve been busy

JONES
With that lady?

FAITH
I won’t be seeing her anymore

JONES
Why not?

FAITH
She’s dead

JONES
What? Faith I’m so sorry

FAITH
Hey you didn’t kill her

JONES
I know but…

FAITH
So don’t sweat, I’ll get it past it – just another one that went away that’s all

JONES
Faith…

FAITH
Speaking of going away, I wanna thank you for not doing what my Mom, Wendy, The Foster home or Sex uncle George did – thanks for not going away

JONES
I won’t, ever

FAITH
But I will

JONES
What?

FAITH
I’m moving to California. I’m not coming back

JONES
But…I…why?

FAITH
I have to see someone

JONES
Who?

FAITH
Don’t get all mushy Jay, it’s not like we’re in love or anything, just a bit of fun huh?

JONES
What…how can you…

FAITH
You were good for what little time you lasted but it’s time to move on to the next piece of rough

JONES
I don’t understand

FAITH
There’s a shock

Faith winks as she leaves

FAITH
Keep working on it maybe you’ll last longer

She closes the door behind her and wipes a tear from her eye before running out of his house.

MARIA
But she loved him

ANYA
But she couldn’t accept that, not after what her family and everyone did to her, not after her watcher died.

CUT TO.

INT – ANDREWS BAR – NIGHT

ANDREW
She’s still not answering…it’s morning

KORBEN
Maybe she’s tired, Faith said the spell took a lot out of her

ANDREW
I guess, okay – if she’s not up in like two hours then I’m calling over

KORBEN
Such a gentleman

‘Sunnydale, April 1999’

FAITH
You want me to kill her boss?

MAYOR
No, no leave the little red headed girl be

FAITH
Can’t I play with her just a little?

MAYOR
You know I don’t like to repeat myself Faithy, now be a good girl and check on our special guest

Faith walks to the door and turns as she leaves

MAYOR
Faith

FAITH
Boss?

MAYOR
Maybe just cut a little something off, you know, to tease the slayer and her friends

Faith continues through and stops outside the room Willow’s being kept in

FAITH
(to herself)
I’m so sorry

She unlocks the door and walks inside.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

CONNOR
You speak to her?

DAWN
She’s still at the graveyard – she’s receiving funny looks from the early workers, I’m starting to smell ripe so I came back

CONNOR
Did you speak to her?

DAWN
I did

CONNOR
And?

DAWN
I believe in something…I just have no faith in her action plan it makes no sense to attack something that isn’t there

CONNOR
So I’m not just being a jerk

DAWN
You were totally being a jerk but within grounds

CONNOR
What do we say?

DAWN
There’s nothing we can say, as far as I can see until we see at least a small threat like another of these demons showing up, then there’s nothing we can do

CUT TO.

‘Boston, May 2005’

Faith is in the tube station as she jumps a flight of stairs and lands in a forward role shooting her cross bow arrow at Travis.

TRAVIS
Nice shot loser!

Travis snaps the bow and continues onto the very full carriage. Faith leaps through the door and boots him in the face.

Travis grabs a woman by the neck.

TRAVIS
One step closer Faith

Faith looks at the woman, the desperation in her eyes.

She flips forward and slices Travis’ throat as he snaps the woman’s neck. Travis is now distorted and Faith is able to toss him out of the train.

MARIA
Why’d she let that woman die?

ANYA
Let one woman die and do this guy some serious damage, or drown in morals and let him kill you and the rest of the carriage?


CUT TO.

‘Southern California, June 2001’

FAITH
I don’t know what to say

ANGEL
Nothing you can say

FAITH
Angel I’m sorry

ANGEL
Don’t be. She’s not your friend, you’re not really sorry

FAITH
I am, it’s just…it all makes no sense. Dawn’s not real?

ANGEL
No.

FAITH
But she felt so…I felt real connected with her, Buffy too.

ANGEL
I know.

FAITH
Does this mean another slayer’s gonna be called?

ANGEL
Not until you die

FAITH
Way too encourage suicide

ANGEL
I didn’t mean that

FAITH
Seems logical – Hellmouth with no guardian, I’m sure as hell not there

ANGEL
They have Willow

FAITH
No offence to the girl but has you ever felt a punch from her

ANGEL
She’s got some powers, they’re doing okay

FAITH
Should I break out?

ANGEL
You think I can make that choice for you?

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

ANDREW
Okay I’m gonna need the spare key

FAITH
No

ANDREW
Give me the key

FAITH
I don’t think so

ANDREW
Faith!

FAITH
You’re not having the key, it’s my key

DAWN
Guys you think we can focus on the absentee here

FAITH
Focused. I’ll go

ANDREW
No fair it was my idea

KORBEN
You guys are really freaking out that your twenty five-year-old friend hasn’t spoken to you for ten hours?

CONNOR
They’re close and have no lives

KORBEN
Right

DAWN
We’re not complete losers, we just sorta need her and plus she did kinda break yesterday

FAITH
So what’s the big deal we’ll just go see if she’s okay and then kidnap her to help in the apocalypse

CONNOR
There’s no friggin’ apocalypse!

FAITH
You wait, when you’re lying on the end of some sword guess who’ll be laughing

CONNOR
Obviously not me! But it’s not happening

FAITH
Yeah! You’ll see

Outside, the clouds are beginning to rotate in a spiral as the skies turn orange

CUT TO.

‘Southern California, November 2001’

FAITH
Never thought I’d see the day

BUFFY
Faith

FAITH
B, lookin’ more alive than the messenger made out

BUFFY
I’ve just seen Angel

FAITH
Did he get a happy?

BUFFY
It was strange. He told me what you said and…

FAITH
Don’t cheerlead, I wasn’t gonna do it

BUFFY
But it entered your mind that’s a good thing

FAITH
Nice to see you’ve grown

BUFFY
A good thing because it showed you’ve changed. You were willing to make that sacrifice to help my friends.

FAITH
You know me

BUFFY
I do.

FAITH
Good to see you breathin’

BUFFY
Yeah

FAITH
Not so good to be?

BUFFY
I’m coping

Buffy sits in silence

FAITH
Before you go
(beat)
Sorry about Joyce

END OF PART FOUR

‘Boston, 3 weeks ago’

Faith is sat in her living room as Jones lays across her lap. They’re watching TV as she twiddles with his hair

JONES
So wanna play asks a question?

FAITH
Does that mean you wanna know something?

JONES
Yeah

FAITH
Shoot

JONES
Why do I love you so much?

Faith freezes

FAITH
Because I’m a hot chick with superpowers

JONES
Good avoiding

FAITH
I try

JONES
Okay well my answer is this…

FAITH
Silence?

JONES
No, what we’re doing now – the non public Faith who doesn’t put up fences.
(thinks)
Okay some fences but picket, not barbed and electrical

FAITH
I’m not fort boyard

JONES
So how come we’ve never even held hands?

FAITH
I get clammy

JONES
Sure you do!

The two begin laughing as Faith feeds him pop corn

MARIA
They’re so cute together but…yeah

ANYA
Yeah?

MARIA
I get it, you don’t need to show me more. I get why she is the way she is

ANYA
And…

MARIA
I’ve seen what she’s willing to do despite what others miss

ANYA
2 so far, for your final point

MARIA
I’m going to win this with her.

ANYA
Good! Okay I have two more things I want you to see

FADE TO WHITE.

INT – MARIA’S KITCHEN - DAY

Maria looks disorientated and disturbed as she stands and heads to the door.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – DAY

FAITH
Can we just go!

Maria walks through the door looking shocked

MARIA
Hey

ANDREW
You’re alive!

MARIA
Listen…

CONNOR
Told you

MARIA
Listen…

DAWN
Okay it wasn’t a competition

MARIA
LISTEN!

Everyone stops and looks at her

MARIA
Sit down. Shut up and listen to whatever Faith has to say

CONNOR
What?

MARIA
She knows what she’s saying trust me

Faith gives a confused but thank you smile to Maria

FAITH
Okay guys listen up…

MARIA
Wait, sorry this kinda goes back on what I said but to save you breath look out the window

Everyone moves over and stares at the blood red sky, flashes of lightning tearing through it

FAITH
Ready to listen?

CUT TO.

‘Boston, 2006’

Dawn is crashed out on Faith’s sofa. Faith comes in from patrolling and lifts her up, placing her in her bed and pulling the cover over her.

She walks back into the other room and pulls a tiny thin sheet over her, shivering but smiling.

Outside we can see the snow being tossed around by the wind, bashing on the wooden board that’s temporarily replacing one of Faith’s windows.
