INT – FAITH’S ROOM – MORNING
Faith slams her hand down on the alarm clock, smashing it
FAITH
Damn
She steps out of bed, her hairs all kinds of farm-yard, so much so that she jumps when she looks in the mirror
FAITH
God I look like a Queer Eye victim
(looks down)
Where’d I put my clothes?
CUT TO.
INT – LOBBY – DAY
Faith comes running down the stairs, music blaring from her headphones that anyone within five feet of her can hear it as if it were being played on speakers
She is jogging on the spot, hair bunched up and the like – ready to go for a run
FAITH
(shouting over headphones to herself)
Damn! I forgot my cash
Faith looks at the stairs and shakes her head, jogging towards the lift – the door pings open and there’s Spike.
SPIKE
You’re taking the piss
FAITH
(Shouting)
Oh come on!
Spike pulls her headphone’s off
SPIKE
You stalkin’ me now?
FAITH
I live here
SPIKE
No you don’t I do
FAITH
Wake up genius, there’s more than one room
SPIKE
Yeah, well there aint enough room for the both of us
FAITH
So when are you moving out?
SPIKE
Don’t think so pet
FAITH
You’re such a…
She’s cut off as a half dozen Samurai type’s, come flying through the window’s in a lobby full of people
FAITH
Here I was thinkin’ ‘bout retiring
(to Samurais)
What’s up boys?
SAMURAI
He says you die
SPIKE
Another one night stand that couldn’t let it go?
FAITH
You’d better believe it
Faith steps up on a coffee table and summersaults over two Samurai, slamming them together
FAITH
Threesome?
Two of them grabs daggers from their belts and swings them at Spike he dodges them and charges at them – tackling them to the floor.
SPIKE
Who sent you here?
SAMURAI
I shall not speak
SPIKE
You’re right
Spike snaps his neck and pulls off his mask
SPIKE
What do ya know – a demon.
FAITH
When you’re done making with the straddling that guy – think you could help?
Faith throws one of the attacker into Spike who punches him repeatedly. He pulls out another dagger and stabs it into the wall, just missing Spikes head
SPIKE
Bloody hell!
(punch)
Take someone’s eye out
Spike strolls over to the dead Samurai and rifles through his pockets, grinning at what he finds
SPIKE
Heads
Faith looks over to Spike before instantly ducking, a Samurai turns to him only to be cut up by an incoming of ninja stars
FAITH
Thanks
They stare back into the lobby as everyone, including the landlord, are shaking in the corner. Both just breathe heavily, staring at them for a while
SPIKE
Eat
FAITH
Lots
They casually step over broken glass and bodies
CUT TO.
EXT – ALLEYWAY – DAY
Eric is dealing in some form of dodgy sales as Faith and Spike walk down the alley
SPIKE
Bloody great timing
FAITH
Who’s this?
ERIC
Spikey! How’s it hanging?
SPIKE
(to Faith)
No comments
FAITH
Heavy to the left
ERIC
Right
FAITH
(Indicated over the head movement)
Whoosh!
ERIC
Is this that slayer broad you’re here to teach?
FAITH
He wishes he could master me and get me all sweaty
ERIC
Hey if you need the favour
FAITH
I’d rather go solo
ERIC
Suit yourself
SPIKE
What you tryin’ a flog now?
ERIC
Got some real gold watches from a K-Mart in Baltimore, you want?
SPIKE
Real gold?
FAITH
K-Mart
ERIC
Shouldn’t have told you that perhaps – sold one to some chick last night, pretty hispanic looking girl about eighteen, attitude problem
FAITH
That would be Spike’s little friend
SPIKE
She alone?
ERIC
Hard to tell, there was two guys hovering – don’t know if they were with her
FAITH
Hovering like following?
ERIC
Who could say? I got my money I got my happy
SPIKE
S’check her apartment
Faith and Spike jet off, leaving Eric behind. A Samurai watches from the shadows
CUT TO.
INT – KAYLAS APARTMENT – DAY
Spike kicks the door off and Faith runs in
KAYLA
Naked!
FAITH
Alive
(to Spike)
She’s alive
SPIKE
Naked too
KAYLA
Get out
SPIKE
Oh, right
Spike faces the wall
FAITH
Don’t be shy, I have the upgrade of everything you have
Kayla walks through to the bathroom and emerges almost immediately in dry clothes – Faith has taken the liberty to start playing with her weapons
Kayla takes the axe from her hands
KAYLA
You owe me a door
(beat)
Why are you here?
FAITH
See if you were alive
KAYLA
Miss the invention of the phone?
FAITH
Miss the invention of the manner?
KAYLA
Mirror that
SPIKE
We heard some ninja folk followed you last night
KAYLA
Yeah I kicked their ass something chronic
FAITH
Where’d you keep the body?
KAYLA
In my draw – I stuff them as pillows
(off look)
I didn’t – they’re demons, the feds will write it off
FAITH
Here’s me being all worried that you can’t handle being head slayer here when I jet
KAYLA
Ran these grounds longer than you sweetie, I own this damn city – I know it like the back of my
SPIKE
Arse!
KAYLA
I was going with hand
SPIKE
No! Arse!
FAITH
What?
SPIKE
We’re idiots
FAITH
Speak for yourself
KAYLA
Ditto
SPIKE
We need a red
KAYLA
A red what?
SPIKE
A Willow
KAYLA
We need a tree?
SPIKE
None of you pretty young things noticed that the three of us are being specifically targetted by a group of power rangers who said they were sent?
(off looks)
To the library
(long pause)
Forget how I said that last part
CUT TO.
INT - ????? – DAY
A Samurai arrives back to the three hooded men
SAMURAI
There’s another masters
MASTER#1

SAMURAI
He speaks with all. He knows of us
MASTER#2
Then teach him no more
CUT TO.
EXT – STREET – SUNSET
ERIC
Get your solid gold watches – just $180 a piece, bargain import prices ladies and gentlemen
Eric shakes his head and folds up his brief case and heads down the alley for a smoke
ERIC
Bastard public
He’s about to light it as he looks up as the Ninja
ERIC
Hey – you after a watch, I can do a discount?
PAN AWAY as Eric’s lighter falls to the floor
CUT TO.
INT – LIBRARY – NIGHT
The backdoor swings open as Kayla holds the handle in her hand
FAITH
Break in a lot?
KAYLA
Used to crash here at night, before I got the apartment
FAITH
How are you payin’ for that?
KAYLA
How’s that your business?
FAITH
Don’t shoot a boot, just makin’ talk
SPIKE
Why exactly didn’t we come here when it was open
KAYLA
I got banned, six times
FAITH
Right, spread out check the lines
Faith gets onto a ladder to the next level as Spike and Kayla carry on through
SPIKE
You two seem…icey
KAYLA
She’s a bitch
SPIKE
Sure she loves your warm and welcoming self too
KAYLA
You’re actually defending her?
SPIKE
I relate to her is all.
KAYLA
How so?
SPIKE
Both the big bads havin’ to prove ourselves to a certain blonde slayer and a certain funny headed vamp
KAYLA
Well, that’s all in the yesteryear, don’t bring your angst into my life – I’m happy running as it is
Kayla turns off down another row of books as Spike stops, thinking
CUT TO.
INT – LIBRARY – UPSTAIRS – NIGHT
Spike walks over to Faith who’s got two pages into a book before taking a cigarette break
SPIKE
I’m leaving
FAITH
Wait up I’ll come with you
SPIKE
I’m leaving New York
FAITH
Bored already?
SPIKE
I shouldn’t teach Kayla
FAITH
Why not?
SPIKE
She’s got her life here already – fact that she found us in L.A means she’s got her head on
FAITH
So you’re just going back to Cal?
SPIKE
Who knows? Got my shinny new car
FAITH
You traded your shiny new bike for a rusty old car
SPIKE
Not if I use my imagination
CUT TO.
EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT
Faith and Spike are walking back
FAITH
So you just gonna leave or does she get a speech too?
SPIKE
Haven’t thought much about it
FAITH
Why’d you send her on patrol?
SPIKE
So she doesn’t get used to me having her back
FAITH
You’ve gotta have kids some day dude
SPIKE
Not bloody likely! Good to sort ‘em out if you can return ‘em, like Dawn
FAITH
Hold up
Faith blocks Spike with her arm
FAITH
That a body?
They walk over and find Eric – neck snapped
SPIKE
Bastards!
FAITH
Sorry
SPIKE
Hardly knew the guy but, they done this because of one of us – that mean’s they’ll go straight for Kayla
FAITH
She’s killed two already – you said so. She can do it.
(looks down at the body)
Maybe if it is you, it’s a good time to do that leaving thing
Spike is about to walk off again as four ninjas arrive
SPIKE
You too
END OF PART THREE
EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT
FAITH
Half and half?
SPIKE
Works for me
KAYLA
Hold up!
All six of them look at Kayla who’s stood on a low roof top
KAYLA
I Knew you losers couldn’t go five minutes without getting in trouble
Kayla whistles as two gangs of streets kid, possibly with another slayer or two mixed in, emerge from both ends of the alley
SAMURAI
You will not win! He will rise and you will fall
One of the Samurai’s gets away as the other three are instantly shot down with various weapons
KAYLA
Don’t worry about my back
(beat)
It’s plenty got
CUT TO.
INT – SPIKES ROOM – DAY
Kayla tapes up a box for Spike
KAYLA
Thanks for visiting
SPIKE
Just returning the favour
KAYLA
You spoken to anyone back in L.A?
SPIKE
Kid’s the only one who’s got hold of me since I left
KAYLA
That was four months ago almost
SPIKE
Yeah, says a lot
Spike and Kayla carry boxes out
INT – LOBBY – DAY
Workers are rebuilding things as Spike and Kayla leave the elevator and work to the door
KAYLA
How can you accumulate so much stuff after being here just a week?
FLASH TO SPIKES ROOM
It’s bare except the matress and bed – there’s fade marks from the TV, Phone et al
FLASH BACK
SPIKE

They place the boxes in the trunk as Faith comes running out with a huge bag on her back
SPIKE
I’m leaving
FAITH
Hang on, I’ll come with
SPIKE

Faith grins and throws her bag into the trunk
FAITH
I’m bored.
Kayla rolls her eyes as they strap themselves in and nod/wave at her

Where’s the nearest drive through? I could eat a cow
CUT TO.
INT - ???? – DAY
Three hooded men smash the stone to reveal a small pool full of blood
MEN
The signs shall shatter and our hunter shall rise
The blood boils as a man looking just like a meatier native from ‘Pangs’ rises from the blood takes in a deep breath
END.
