INT – FAITH’S APARTMENT – NIGHT

JONES
Why is her nose bleeding?

KORBEN
Give her some space

JONES
Space? She needs help! She’s shaking!

ANDREW
Oh god, oh god!

Jones lays Maria out and uses his fingers to clear her mouth

JONES
Hold on!

He’s still crying as he tilts her head back and begins mouth to mouth

The second that his lips touch her, his eyes go wide, his veins are clear as light runs through them, Maria’s eyes stay still and wide as Jones is thrown across the room by a light.

MARIA
(faint)
When he wakes up, tell him to open his eyes

Maria tilts her head to the side, her eyes close as a half smile remains on her face.

KORBEN
I’ll check on Jones. Andrew use that charm – whatever it does, get it done

Starring

Shawn Ashmore
Vincent Karthieser as Connor

Guest Starring

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

Faith is holding Dawn by the waist as she attempts to leap at the portal

DAWN
Let go of me!

FAITH
Dawn!

DAWN
Connor!!!!

FAITH
Dawn stop

DAWN
Get the hell away from me!

Dawn snaps herself away from Faith as the portal closes completely – Dawn punches the air but there’s nothing there.

She falls down to the floor in shock. Just still on her knees, staring at nothing.

FAITH
I’m sorry

ANYA
Should we poke her with something? A stick

FAITH
Shut up

ANYA
Just a suggestion!

DAWN
(shaken)
He…He’s…

FAITH
No he’s not

Ryan looks on at Dawn, face empty – eyes a blinding blue (sadness) they soon flood to red

RYAN
Open it

ANYA
If it was easy as that we’d all be doing and by god did you get poked in the eye with a sword?

RYAN
Do it. I don’t care how but find a way.

FAITH
You wanna step down a bit there sergeant?

RYAN
No. We don’t know who or what he’s in there with

FAITH
But he does – he grew up there

RYAN
He’s been exposed to nothing like it for four years. You think you could face Prison again now?

Faith stares at Ryan as his eyes dissolve back to their regular grey colour

FAITH
We’ll save him.

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH – NIGHT

Connor lands face down on the ground as the sky closes behind him. Everything is as before – dead, black with vicious swirling red skies.

He stands slowly and looks around, tripping over what he thinks is a plant – the “plant” bursts out of the ground – a tall thin demon, scratches Connor who immediately swings his axe and cut’s it’s arm off

CONNOR
Happy Homecoming

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

Anya teleports in, shocking Andrew

ANDREW
Anya!

He throws his arms around and practically squeezes the breath out of her.

ANYA
Let go!

ANDREW
Sorry – what are you doing here?

ANYA
Saving you losers again. I came by because Faith wanted me to ask…oh god

Anya sees Maria on the sofa, a veil like sheet covering her

ANYA
Who’s that?

ANDREW
(looks down)
Maria

ANYA
Oh god…I…I don’t want to be insensitive but oh crap!

ANDREW
What?

ANYA
We needed her! How did this happen?

ANDREW
The spell she was doing, to seal the portal – she couldn’t take it

ANYA
Well it worked and, um, we sorta need it open again

KORBEN
What?!

ANYA
Yeah, bitter irony
(cold stares)
Anyway…it swallowed Connor a little bit completely a lot

ANDREW
Is he…

ANYA
We don’t know which is why we need that portal open. Work with me here

ANDREW
I’ll do it!

KORBEN
Andrew you can’t!

ANYA
Who’s he?

ANDREW
My…

ANYA
Oh! No, he’s right you probably can’t do it

KORBEN
Hey! He could do it – I just won’t risk it, not after what just happened here

ANDREW
Hey guys I’m actually right here and…I can make my own choices.

ANYA/KORBEN
Shut up!

ANYA
I’d do it but I’m a little rusty I mean sure I could open the portal but I actually also might open every door or possible a gaping hole in the ground to swallow us all.

CUT TO.

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

RYAN
I swear that skies getting lower

FAITH
Don’t sweat it Ry, we’ll work it out we always do

DAWN
Right except one of these times it had to be the actual end right?

FAITH
Sure but hey – army of ubervamps, first evil baby

DAWN
That was Willow and a dozen slayers – we don’t have that. We have four humans, a sarcastic vengeance demon, two fighters and someone who can bend spoons by looking at them
(to Ryan)
No offence

RYAN
Whatever

FAITH
Yo’ kid you gotta have more faith than that

DAWN
My boyfriend just dissapeared into another world how much…

FAITH
Boyfriend?

DAWN
My…friend, my friend just jumped into another world which is slowly becoming a part of this one and ending it – because of us!

FAITH
Then I guess he’ll be back soon enough if it’s all gonna mesh together

DAWN
Faith! Fighting humour is bad today

FAITH
Dawn it’s cool – you know Connor he can take anything

RYAN
Can he take one of those?

Ryan looks up as a dragon like creature swoops down from the sky and grabs Dawn in it’s claws

FAITH
Dawn!

Dawn is hanging from it’s claws as it continues to circle them

END OF PART ONE

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

DAWN
Help me!

Dawn is punching at it’s claws for release – nothing

FAITH
Ryan…

She nods at him as the demon lowers down, Faith leaps onto a crypt and springs into the air as Ryan holds the side of his head moving her higher – she manages to climb onto the Dragon’s back.

FAITH
Biggest ride I ever had

Faith holds on tightly with one arm as she shuffles around the dagger in her boot. She pulls it out and rams it into the dragon’s eye. Twisting it around.

The dragon releases Dawn and throws Faith off it’s back – Dawn is tumbling, Ryan manages to move her down slower but Faith’s already landed over the bushes before he can help her.

Both run over immediately to find Faith limping out of a pond – her jeans torn and her hair wet, a line of blood streaming down her face

FAITH
Stings a little

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

ANYA
Is he waking up anytime soon?

KORBEN
Something’s happening to him, I mean something…when he done mouth to mouth he lit up

ANYA
Wow.
(beat)
Shouldn’t we move her?

KORBEN
(disgusted)
To where?

ANYA
I don’t know, what am I brain lady? We can’t just leave her there

KORBEN
We need to tell the others

ANYA
I will, I’ll go as soon as Andrew is done playing with his pole

ANDREW
It’s a pipe and I’m done.
(pause)
Tell Faith not to blow into the bottom whole because, um, it’s dirty but it should just come to her what to do.

ANYA
Okay! What are you going to do?

ANDREW
Korben’s going to look after Jones and I’m going to…call the police

ANYA
Yeah right Andrew they’ll love fighting strange demons

ANDREW
For Maria

ANYA
Oh, well that makes sense, you do that

Anya teleports out

KORBEN
Andrew I can’t let you do this

ANDREW
Sure you can, I’m a professional wizard

KORBEN
You’re an amateur demon raiser

ANDREW
Trust me

CUT TO.

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

RYAN
Calm down!

FAITH
We’ve been waiting for ten minutes what’s taking her so long?

ANYA
Okay, okay I have it!

FAITH
Have what?

ANYA
The pipe that Andrew made – it helps charm demons or something.

DAWN
What about the portal?

ANYA
He’s working on it, but, there’s some bad news

DAWN
Why is Andrew working on it?

ANYA
Because she couldn’t do it

FAITH
Anya what’s going on?

ANYA
I’m sorry but, she’s dead – Maria’s dead

DAWN
What?

FAITH
Anya is she dead or is she Anya dead?

ANYA
No she’s dead. Severely dead.

FAITH
But…

ANYA
No but. Faith this is serious now he wont’ listen to me but somebody needs to stop Andrew – he can’t do that spell by himself. Maria is twice the woman he is
(thinks)
Something to that effect – he’s not strong enough

RYAN
I’m on it.

Ryan vanishes into the air

ANYA
He can do that too?
(off looks)
Just thought I was special

FAITH
Where is she now?

ANYA
She’s still in the apartment – nobody answered at the hospital this whole city is dead.

From behind them, the portal begins to open even further, eating the sky of our world.

FAITH
How do I work this pipe thing?

ANYA
Like you’ve not had practice
(beat)
You mean the demon charm

FAITH
I do

ANYA
Here erm…blow it, the charm.

DAWN
Faith…there’s um, there’s like a dozen demon’s coming this way

FAITH
Call the corners

DAWN
What?

FAITH
Do it!

Dawn steps back by herself as Anya grabs a sword.

ANYA
If I get cut in half you’re dead

Anya makes the first move in the battle, swinging her sword through the waist of a demon, cutting them exactly in half

FAITH
Cool

ANYA
I’ve been working out

Dawn is covered in light as she draws the power once again.

DAWN
Corners answer me.

Four beams of light rush in from the sky as Dawn is literally hit with them, her eyes become the brightest white as she stands for the battle.

DAWN
Bring it on

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

Connor stands and walks past a demon, pulling his axe from it’s skull. He looks up to a large castle, wide eyed.

CONNOR
That’s new

GERBON
It’s the newest piece of ancient history

Connor turns and looks down to see the hobbit like creature

GERBON
You must be tired by now, you’ve been here for months

CONNOR
I’ve been walking for months?

GERBON
It’s a big place. You’re determined, Reminds me of a young human boy we once had here named Steven

CONNOR
Steven…that’s me

GERBON
It can’t be you. He’s be sixty if a day by now

CONNOR
I went back to earth four years ago

GERBON
Well knock me down and pull my ears, it is you. Why would you wanna come back to a place like this?

CONNOR
I have to find something…I don’t know what

GERBON
I know what. You’re after the Core!

CONNOR
The Core?

GERBON
The thing that let’s this place exist in another world, that allows the outter shell to become fragmented.

CONNOR
Then I think that’s what I’m after

GERBON
Then that you shall find.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITH’S APARTMENT – NIGHT

RYAN
Is he really just sleeping?

KORBEN
He’s not dead and he’s snoring. It’s our conclusion

RYAN
Interesting.

KORBEN
Apparently so

RYAN
Where’s Andrew?

KORBEN
Bedroom

RYAN
Naked?

KORBEN
No.

RYAN
Cool.

Ryan works over to the bedroom where Andrew is setting up the spell

RYAN
I have permission to hit you repeatedly

ANDREW
What are you doing here? You’re all evil and a monster…except not

RYAN
I got over it.

ANDREW
Right…the spell. But I thought you had no emotion or something

RYAN
I don’t. Sarcasm is a skill not an emotion.

ANDREW
Oh you have red eyes I’m pissing you off

RYAN
You’re not. I just had a big fight – it was windy.

ANDREW
Oh.

RYAN
But you are pissing me off because you’re not doing that spell

ANDREW
Yes I am

RYAN
She died. You wont just die you’ll suffer a death we’re talking exploding heads.

ANDREW
Head.

RYAN
The number isn’t the factor here.

CUT TO.

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

Dawn smashes two demon’s together at once, cracking their heads. Faith flips off of a tomb and begins running to the portal as it’s still open – it closes again as she reaches it.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS’ APARTMENT – NIGHT

RYAN
We don’t need it closed

ANDREW
You’re just saying that

RYAN
We don’t need it closes, yet.
(pause)
we need to get it to stay open…we’re going in.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

CONNOR
You ever heard of the slayer?

GERBON
Have I heard of the slayer, please!
(beat)
No. What is it a food?

CONNOR
A girl

GERBON
Girls can be food

CONNOR
It’s not food

GERBON
So, I take it this slayer snack is what you’re here for?

CONNOR
No. My worlds ending

GERBON
Is it really your world?

CONNOR
I belong there. Things I love are there. It’s my world and it’s being swallowed.

GERBON
That’s too bad, I vacationed there in 1488, nice place. Bit basic

CONNOR
It’s changed – a lot.

GERBON
I can imagine, this square thing with people it got thrown in here last week

CONNOR
It’s a portable television

GERBON
Nice world. Television. Those people were tiny. I tried to free them but they just exploded into little dots and started going all over the place

CONNOR
Are we almost there yet?

GERBON
Who knows. We’ve had a lot of pollution these days, things move around a lot.

CONNOR
Which is why we’ve been here for months?

GERBON
I’d say so.

CUT TO.

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

Anya and Dawn back into each other as Faith comes from between them

ANYA
Okay blowing your stick would be nice about now!

The portal briefly opens and spits another group of demons out

FAITH
Here goes.

Faith brings the pipe to her lips and let’s in one gentle blow, a barely audible sound causes the demon’s to look up

ANYA
Wow. Good hearing.

FAITH
(grins)
I think I know what this does!

Faith takes the deepest breath and blows with all force into the pipe – a loud piercing sounds come screeching from it.

The demon’s one by one begin to roar in pain before collapsing to the ground

DAWN
Wow.

ANYA
Cool.

FAITH
Sweet.

DAWN
Connor.

ANYA
Ruined the pattern Dawn

DAWN
We have to try to get him back now

ANYA
That makes more sense

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

Andrew is holding hands with both Korben and Ryan

RYAN
Borrow any power you need

Andrew flicks the final dust down onto the bowl as a smashing light blasts through all three of them before bursting into the air and centring down Andrew.

CUT TO.

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

The portal bursts open in front of all of them, wind from the bitter Quo’Tarth tunnel is throwing their hair back

ANYA
I just got this done today!

DAWN
Do we have a plan?

FAITH
Go in. get him. Get out.

ANYA
I should stay here and…what the hell, I’ll come.

FAITH
You ready ladies?

DAWN
Ready!

The girls link hands and charge at the portal – it doesn’t close behind them

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

They’re all still holding hands Andrew is not visible due to the amount of light around him

KORBEN
Keep it going Andrew

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

ANYA
Okay, ready to leave now

DAWN
We’re not leaving without him

FAITH
I think he’s been past here

DAWN
How do you know?

Faith points out a corpse of a demon that’s been there at least a week – it has one of Connor’s hand daggers in it.

FAITH
Something tells me

ANYA
Oh god! Time is different here

FAITH
I know

ANYA
Wrinkles

DAWN
Anya you went a thousand years without wrinkling

ANYA
I meant the two of you. I still have to see your faces

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH TOWER

CONNOR
I’ll find the core in there

GERBON
Maybe

CONNOR
Maybe?!

GERBON
Yeah. I was gonna eat you on the way here but you’re a nice kid so I won’t. You’re real boring too and so you’re on your own now.

Gerbon begins to walk away

GERBON
Oh one more thing – there’s this big four headed creature that guards the source

CONNOR
Four heads? Like two sets of a double heads?

GERBON
Smart kid. You’ll get far I’m sure.

The Gerbon opens a sack by his side and hands Connor a little necklace.

GERBON
It’s all about fate. Use this only when you honestly believe it’s your only option.

Connor clutches the pendant in his hand as the Gerbon vanishes.

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

Anya, Faith and Dawn continue to journey through the land as Dawn starts twiddling with her hair.

DAWN
How long have we been here?

FAITH
I…
(looks at watch)
2 days

DAWN
My hair is gross

ANYA
It took you two days here to realise that? Slo-o-ow

DAWN
Hey!

ANYA
It’s true!

DAWN
You didn’t have to say it!

FAITH
Guys.

ANYA/DAWN
She started it

FAITH
Nice to know you can maintain your immaturity whichever world you’re in

ANYA
Demon

FAITH
Where?

Faith is knocked over from behind

ANYA
There

Dawn jumps in and kicks the demon – he throws her down, easily. Faith is also easily beaten down and it’s up to Anya to take things over. She’s soon beaten down.

The demon is about to lunge onto Faith who grabs her sword as the other two push it onto the blade.

FAITH
I don’t believe it

ANYA
You got it on my shoes

FAITH
We don’t have our powers. None of us.

DAWN
What?

FAITH
I…I don’t know why

ANYA
Oh crap. It’s because none of us were born with them – we’re all on borrowed power.

DAWN
Does that mean Connor…

FAITH
No. No he’s always had it, always.

DAWN
What are we going to do? We can’t just head back now

FAITH
We won’t. I guess we’ll just keep going.

CUT TO.

INT – FAITHS APARTMENT – NIGHT

Jones eyes spring open – he looks over to Maria as her words echo in his head. He squeezes his eyes shut as the visions re-enter his mind. All of them, dead.

KORBEN
Jones!

Jones ignores him and sprints out of the door. Korben let’s go of Andrew’s hand and begin’s sprinting after him. The light surrounding Andrew fades away as Andrew passes out in Ryan’s lap.

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

Connor rolls under the legs of the monster and kicks the back of it’s knee. One of it’s heads spins round and bites Connor’s shoulder. Ignoring the pain, Connor climbs onto the beast with a running leap.

CONNOR
Not so smart now huh?

He digs the axe into the back like an ice pick and hangs from it until he can swing underneath at which point he rams his fist with all force through the demon’s thick skin. His entire arm is deep inside the monster before springing out, still gripping onto part of it’s heart. The monster falls down with Connor still underneath.

Minutes later, Connor emerges, bloody and bruised as the demon dissolves – a mass of light bursting out.

Faith, Anya and Dawn (miles away) See the light reach the sky

DAWN
Connor.

CUT TO.

EXT – FIELD – NIGHT

Korben tackles Jones to the ground, pinning him down

KORBEN
Calm down you can’t go in there!

JONES
You don’t understand I’ve seen…none of them have their powers in there!

KORBEN
What?

JONES
They’re all going to die if they don’t get out of there now!

Korben climbs off of him and runs over to the barrier

KORBEN
Faith!

JONES
Faith!

KORBEN
Dawn!

CUT TO.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

ANYA
Do you hear something?

FAITH
That’s Jones

DAWN
Jones is here?

FAITH
No…he’s…

They look behind them, in the very far distance they can see the extremely wide portal with Jones and Korben at the edge

Faith takes one look and begins sprinting back to the entrance.

DAWN
Where are you going?! Faith!

She begins following immediately followed by Anya.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

Connor reaches into the mess the demon left behind and finds a large key.

CONNOR
Score.

He walks up to the tower and enters the key into the lock expecting the door to open, it begins to grow over. Swallowing the key as the entire surface of the tower takes a smooth, marble form.

EXT – QUO’TARTH

JONES
Get out of there!

FAITH
We have to find Connor!

JONES
You can’t last in there! By their time you’ve already been there a week. You’re all without powers you wont last any longer!

Faith looks back over the land – light is coming closer, the land seems to be vanishing

DAWN
Faith, no.

FAITH
Dawn we have to. Listen, listen to me. We’ll find away but this isn’t it.

Faith grabs Dawn and throws her out to Jones, Anya is already there. Faith takes one look back as she sees the land dissolving – Connor is running towards her from the light

FAITH
Connor come on!

Connor is getting closer as the portal begins closing

FAITH
Connor!

DAWN
Faith look out!

Faith spins round as a large demon grabs her and smashes his claw into her chest before throwing her hard out of the portal – she crashes to the ground, hitting her head on a rock.

Jones runs over, Dawn can’t take her eyes from the portal – Connor is about 10 feet away

DAWN
Jump!

Connor leaps and misses as the portal closes, the sky returns to normal and the demons bodies dissolve.

DAWN
NO!

JONES
Dawn!

Dawn turns around as a tearful Jones leans over Faith’s body

DAWN
No..

JONES
She’s dead

END OF PART THREE

EXT – FIELD – TWO MONTHS LATER

Dawn is stood with Jones at Faith’s grave.

DAWN
I’ll leave you alone

She walks away and head’s over to a small tree, still on it’s supporting log. She places a flower down for Connor.

VOICE
Dawn…

Dawn turns to see an extremely old man of around his late eighties, smiling at her

DAWN
Sorry, do I know you?

MAN
I expect not, not anymore

Dawn looks into his eyes, deeply

DAWN
Connor?

MIX TO.

Time for SARAH MACLACHLAN

Dawn kisses a bed ridden, aged Connor on the head as a doctor shakes his head. She gives a half smile and leaves the room.

MIX TO.

Andrew wipes down the bar one last time before heading outside to his car when Korben is sitting. They drive off with boxes tied to the roof.

MIX TO.

Jones is packing up the last of the boxes from Faith’s apartment. He walks into her room to switch off the light

FAITH
Damn you don’t waste anytime.

Jones turns around in shock.

FAITH
What? You can haunt your car but I have to leave this nifty apartment?

JONES
Faith…

FAITH
Hey, it’s cool. You don’t get rid of me that easily.

JONES
Are you…

FAITH
Okay?
(grins)
I’m five by five
