HOSTESS
Miss…
(ignored)
Miss can I get you any thing?
FAITH
What?
HOSTESS
A drink…food…
FAITH
Is this a non-smoking flight?

I’m afraid so
(long silence)
Can I get you anything?

No, I’m cool
(beat)
Thanks
CUT TO.

New York, New York
CUT TO.
EXT – NEW YORK HIGHWAY – NIGHT
A car is swerving through the rain as it crashes into a sign ‘Welcome to New York’
Spike steps out of the car and wobbles a little bit before laughing at the dented sign.

INT – CONVENIENCE STORE – NIGHT
Faith is crouched down by a shelf picking up a selection of unhealthy snacks as Spike wonders past on the other side – completely missing her.
He wonders out of the door as Faith stands to her feet.
Faith takes the food to the counter and has it bagged up
FAITH
Can you tell me how to get to 52nd street?
ASSISTANT
Sure, walk down to 51st street then take some more steps
FAITH
That’s smart – that must be why they hired you for such a complex occupation
Faith snatches her bag from him and walks away
ASSISTANT
(to himself)
All about 52nd street
CUT TO.
INT – APARTMENT BLOCK – NIGHT
Faith walks in, soaking from the rain – she stands looking extremely pissed as the guy behind the thick glass window is sat laughing at the security camera
FAITH
You know it’s an offence to have camera’s in the bathroom’s.
He looks at Faith with all guilt imaginable
FAITH
Two weeks rent three, following month half price
(grins)
Then you get to stay open
He gulps in agreement and hands a set of keys over to Faith
FAITH
Pleasure doing business
Faith jogs over to the stairs and practically sprints over them. Spike stomps out of the elevator and nods at the landlord
SPIKE
Same price tomorrow mate
He walks out as he lights a cigarette
LANDLORD
Free loaders.
CUT TO.
EXT – NEW YORK – NIGHT
Spike’s casually strolling the streets as Kayla starts walking behind him at a hefty pace
SPIKE
Wondered how long it’d take you
KAYLA
You mean you actually remembered?
SPIKE
Funny thing is someone like you – leaves a mental scar
KAYLA
Cute.
SPIKE
Aint it just
KAYLA
So did Angel send you here?
SPIKE
Something of the kind
KAYLA
Something of the Buffy kind?
SPIKE
Listen, new girl let’s get one thing right shall we? I don’t get sent.
Kayla gives him a look
SPIKE
It was Buffy…but I wanted to come anyway! I like New York it’s…
KAYLA
Don’t make me hit you
SPIKE
A hell of a town
KAYLA
I’m gonna have to hit you
SPIKE
Bring it short stack
KAYLA
I hate you
SPIKE
Right cause all I felt was lovey dovey goodness towards you
KAYLA
So why did you come?
SPIKE
You need a watcher
KAYLA
You’re not a watcher
SPIKE
S’true but, well everyone else is taken and I think I’m probably the only one with enough patience to put up with you
(pause)
Though I slowly doubt my strength in that
KAYLA
Geez, thanks
SPIKE
Nothing mean by it, just you’re a colourful character is all
KAYLA
Colourful like bitch? Because I know I’m a bitch – it’s my thing
SPIKE
Right you’re the next generation of Faith, I get it
KAYLA
What is your thing with this Faith chick? You’re like obsessed
SPIKE
(laughs)
Obsessed with her? Not likely pet
KAYLA
What?
SPIKE
What?
KAYLA
Did you just say I was your pet?
SPIKE
Figure of speech
KAYLA
You’re calling me a dog?
SPIKE
No, I…shut up.
CUT TO.
EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT
Faith steps out the back doors of a club with a man, she is up against the wall, teasing him into a kiss
FAITH
You always get down on the first night?
GUY
You know the game, lady
FAITH
Dude, I’m no lady
(whispers)
I’m a woman
GUY
All the better
FAITH
I’m a real, sexy, cool, crazy ass strong woman
GUY
Keep talking like that
FAITH
(whispers)
I’m the slayer
Faith smiles as the guy looks at her wide eyed. She brings her arm round and smacks him down. He jumps back up – Vampire.
GUY
At last I finally get to kill a slayer
FAITH
Nice pick up line
Faith kicks him in the chin then spin kicks him, knocking him into a wall
FAITH
Last guy that used it can be sprinkled right now
Spike and Kayla turn the corner into the alley
SPIKE
Seriously they’re really nice if you cook them just right and…
Spike grins
KAYLA
Is that…
SPIKE
A Slayer?
(smiles wider)
Wait and see
Faith swings the vamp over and pins him against the wall
FAITH
One for luck
Faith moves up as if she’s going to kiss him. She stabs her stake into him.
Faith turns, startled as she hears clapping
SPIKE
Bravo, bravo
FAITH
Spike?!
SPIKE
Hey slayer, I’d like you to meet Faith
Spike smiles as Faith looks on wary and guarded, Kayla looks miffed.
END OF PART ONE
INT – CAFÉ – NIGHT
Faith is wolfing down the biggest burger at the fastest pace as Kayla stares in disgust
FAITH
What?
KAYLA
You always eat like that?
FAITH
(Flashes a cheeky smile at Spike)
Got to keep somethin’ in my mouth so to stop me telling you how bad that outfit is
KAYLA
Excuse me
FAITH
I’m not in your way
SPIKE
Girls!
FAITH/KAYLA
Shut up
SPIKE
So, what brings you this neck of the woods?
FAITH
Neck of the woods? What did you go back to ’99 and turn into Wes?
(long pause)
Fancied a change is all. Pissed a few people off in Boston, didn’t fancy going to play with the slayer gang or Angels family so I figured I ‘d kick it by myself
(beat)
Is this your new fetish? Us real slayers to old for you now?
KAYLA
Hey!
SPIKE
That’s cute Faith, tell me, boned any principals lately?
FAITH
Just the bakers
KAYLA
Huh?
FAITH
Dozen
KAYLA
Really?
FAITH
No
KAYLA
Oh
FAITH
Wow I can already tell how fun it’s gonna be training you
KAYLA
Training me? I don’t need training by you
SPIKE
Yeah, that’s my job
KAYLA
Or you! I’ve lasted a year and half by myself haven’t I? More than I can say for you coma girl
SPIKE
Oops
FAITH
Wanna have something else in common with me little girl?
KAYLA
Try me
FAITH
Let’s dance
SPIKE
Let’s not shall we, dunno about you two but it’s dark, we’ve all got wicked amounts of energy to burn I say there’s only one thing for us to do
INT – NIGHT CLUB – NIGHT DUH!
SPIKE
This wasn’t what I meant
Spike is stood looking incredibly pissed as Faith and Kayla go ‘Bad Girls’ by his side, both dancing something manic to a hefty bass tune.
FAITH
Not lettin’ loose Willy?
SPIKE
Don’t call me that
KAYLA
Come on! What’s the problem?
SPIKE
I don’t do dancing. Not after last time.
FAITH
Hey Willow told me about that, bust a move
SPIKE
I’m getting a drink. Don’t follow me.
KAYLA
Make it three
SPIKE
You’re too young
KAYLA
So?
SPIKE
So.
Spike walks off and leaves the two of them dancing
KAYLA
What’s his deal?
FAITH
They all do it after a while, do nothing but frown and brood – kinda why I never stuck around
(pause)
That and prison
CUT TO.
EXT – CLUB – NIGHT
Spike walks round the back with his bottle of beer and lights a cigarette
(O.S) BOOMING VOICE
Spike
SPIKE
Who’s askin’?
VOICE (O.S)
An old friend
SPIKE
Right, piss off then
The man steps out from the shadows and stares Spike right in the face
SPIKE
What?
MAN
You owe me
SPIKE
You’re probably right, but as I don’t remember you I’m going with doubtful
The man transforms into a his true form, his skin is rough and a mushroom colour with an almost wet finish. Black scales run down one side of his face as fangs hang from his mouth
SPIKE
Oh Bollocks!
DEMON (ERIC)
Remember me now?
SPIKE
No, but I’m re-thinking smackin’ you down and laughin’ about it
ERIC
Eric
SPIKE
Did we…how did we meet?
ERIC
It was here in 1977
SPIKE
Got far with your life then?
ERIC
I hijacked a train and sent if off track so that you could take out a slayer
Spikes face drops
ERIC
Something wrong
SPIKE
Uh, No yeah it went well – dead as a dead thing
ERIC
But it hurts doesn’t it? Is that why you came back here, so that you’d feel guilty?
SPIKE
I aint Angel, I don’t feel guilty mate – it was nearly thirty years ago, wasn’t me. Not the man I am today
ERIC
You think because you’re a man now that you aren’t responsible for your past?
SPIKE
Pretty much
ERIC
You think wrong!
SPIKE
Hey I remember you! What’s with the boomy voice?
ERIC
Sorry it works on the newbies
Eric shrinks back down to his human form (think Doyle mixed with Oz)
SPIKE
So what apparently do I owe you?
ERIC
Twenty bucks transport
SPIKE
Done
Spike reaches into his jacket pocket – no money. He opens the carton of cigarettes…
ERIC
Lipstick?
SPIKE
Not mine
Spike pulls out Faith’s lipstick, another of her cigarettes and the money
SPIKE
Here ya go
Spike heads to walk away as Eric tags on to him, walking by his side
ERIC
So, what brings you back to the big city?
SPIKE
Slayer
ERIC
Again, no offence but I’d consider getting something for that – a lotion of some therapy
SPIKE
I’m here to train one
ERIC
Wow. You have turned over a new leaf, what with you being human and all? How did you fall into that trap
SPIKE
Sunnydale
ERIC
No way! You went to Sunnydale?!
SPIKE
Lived there for the best part of six years mate
ERIC
Holy M’Fashnik! Did you meet that Britney chick?
SPIKE
Buffy? Met her doesn’t fit the scheme
ERIC
No way! You killed her?
SPIKE
No I didn’t kill her! I…
Spike doesn’t say anything, he just picks up pace as Eric hovers at his side
ERIC
You loved her! Man, that’s disgusting
SPIKE
Try smelling your breath. Do you eat garbage?
ERIC
Only on a Sunday
SPIKE
I won’t ask
ERIC
So where are you heading? Can I come?
SPIKE
Home. No.
ERIC
Come on! It’s like – midnight, the night is young, nothing happens in New York until at least two!
CUT TO.
INT - ????? – NIGHT
Three hooded men are sat around a fire – one splashes an urn of blood across a stone table.
MEN
Obitus Obitus Obitus
Cave paintings of a girl are scribbled on a dark stone. Another stone contains a girl and two men.

Sacred day has come my people, tomorrow, the faith shall be lost
