TEASER
EXT. CAPE KENNETH CEMETERY
Three vampires are running for their undead life.
VAMPIRE 1
What the hell was that?
VAMPIRE 2
It's the...
The vampires skid to a halt in front of a tiny figure.
VAMPIRE 3
How did she get ahead of us?
The figure steps out... it's Liv. She doesn't answer with a
quip, but instead dives into battle. She lays into the third
vampire, driving him back with a steady slew of punches. Just
as the second vampire charges her, she delivers a strong
uppercut to the third vampire... knocking him to the ground.
She does a spinning kick, driving back the second vampire, but
is outflanked by the first vamp.
The first vamp delivers a series of punishing blows and
finishes with roundhouse kick to the head, all of which Liv
just takes standing up. The first vampire just looks at her
with amazement.
LIV
(grim)
That all you got?
The two other vampires tackle her from either side and hold her
arms back.
VAMPIRE 1
You want more? You got it babe.
The vampire starts wailing on Liv like there is no tomorrow.
The vampires laugh as she continues to absorb blow after blow
after blow. However it isn't until the first vampire delivers a
punishing kick to her mid-section that she finally cries out in
pain.
VAMPIRE 2
What's a matter little girl? That hurt?
VAMPIRE 3
Maybe we should put you out of your misery.
As the third vampire leans in to bite her neck, Liv bashes him
with a headbutt. The third vampire lets go of her arm as he
staggers back. Bad move.
Liv pulls out a stake, stabs and dusts the second vampire. She
then throws the stake into the third vampire and before she can
turn around gets her head kicked by the first vampire. She
falls back and hits her head against a grave stone. The vampire
pushes his advantage, wailing blow upon blow upon her. He
delivers another roundhouse to her head, knocking her to the
ground.
VAMPIRE 1
Had enough?
Liv climbs to her feet, assumes a martial arts stance and waves
the vampire into the fight.
VAMPIRE 1
Aren't we the glutton for punishment?
LIV
You have no idea.
As the vampire charges, Liv pulls back her fist to a punching
stance as we...
CUT TO:
INT. SAINT BUFALARI'S SCHOOL - HALLWAY
Liv slams her locker shut to reveal Maya standing in front of
her with her arms crossed. Liv is showing visible signs of
bruising, including a black eye, from her battle last night.
LIV
(pissed)
What?
MAYA
(concerned)
What happened to you last night?
LIV
What do you think?
MAYA
Jesus. Liv, you look like a punching bag.
LIV
Whatever.
Liv starts to walk away, but Liv grabs her arm. Liv winces in
pain.
MAYA
Liv, come on. What's going on here?
LIV
Let go.
VANESSA(OS)
What's the matter Maya?
Maya and Liv turn to see Vanessa and her clique of cheerleaders
smirking at them.
VANESSA
Is your little lap dog misbehaving?
In a flash Liv has grabbed Vanessa and thrown her hard against
the locker wall.
LIV
(Screaming)
Got a problem... BITCH?!
VANESSA
Back off you little runt!
Liv makes a fist and moves in for the punch of the century...
but Maya steps in front of her.
MAYA
(pleading)
Liv.
Liv glares at her for a moment, spins on her heel and runs off.
Maya watches her go with a growing look of concern on her face.
VANESSA
Why are you friends with such a miserable
little cun-
Before Vanessa can even finish, Maya has spun around and
punched her hard, right on the nose. Vanessa's head bounces off
the locker wall and her nose begins to bleed. Vanessa's
cheerwenches rush to her aid as she slides to the floor holding
her nose. Maya smirks at the destruction she has wrought.
MAYA
Oh! Right in the nose job! That's gotta
hurt.
VANESSA
You bitch!
MAYA
Hmm. Tough break, Vanessa.
Maya turns around to walk away, only to face a stern looking
nun.
MAYA
Aw, crap.
The nun grabs Maya by the ear and leads her away.
MAYA
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - BEDROOM
Xander is doubled over in pain on the floor, holding his head
like he's trying to keep it from splitting open.
XANDER
OOOOOWWWWW!!
Breathing heavy he looks up to see two native Africans, a older
man and woman, dressed in tribal garb. Both are crying
hysterically
WOMAN
Watter sort aan my dogter?!
MAN
Jou se haar lyk veileg!
Xander looks at the ground and sees a young African girl lying
dead on the floor.
XANDER
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry
END TEASER
ACT I
INT. FONTAINE HOUSE - KITCHEN
Maya is getting her hand iced down by Lucy.
MAYA
Stupid Nuns. No sense of humor.
LUCY
You're lucky you didn't get suspended. What
did your Mom have to say?
MAYA
Nothing She was too busy finding the bottom
of a martini pitcher.
LUCY
Why'd you punch out that girl anyway?
MAYA
She pissed me off.
Lucy gives Maya "The Look".
MAYA
What?
LUCY
What did Liv do?
MAYA
Nothing.
LUCY
Hey. You think I was born yesterday? I see
the way you two operate. I know how this
works. What happened?
MAYA
Nothing I couldn't handle.
LUCY
Oh yeah?
(takes the ice bag off her hand)
Gotta hand it to the Nuns. They know how to
just inflict enough pain without doing any
serious damage.
Lucy moves Maya's fingers a little bit.
MAYA
OW!
LUCY
Sorry. I won't tell you how many times I got
the same treatment.
Lucy puts the ice bag back on her hand.
LUCY
I'm going to give you some of Mama
Fontaine's patented advice so listen up. All
her life Liv's had you to protect her. Don't
think I haven't noticed or appreciated it.
But now... Now she's going someplace that
you have to stay out of.
MAYA
But...
LUCY
It was fine when you were both nine and
Wally stole her stuffed bunny, but Maya...
you can't protect her anymore. As much as I
hate to admit it, I can't protect her
anymore. The things she's dealing with
now... we're out of our league.
MAYA
What about Mr. Harris?
Lucy digs her toe in the floor and looks away.
LUCY
He's... He's not doing too well either right
now.
MAYA
We got to talk to him. Liv is getting out of
control. I.. I don't know what to do.
LUCY
I've tried but...
MAYA
Try again.
LUCY
Maya... I called the council this morning. I
think... I think they're sending someone
down to take over for Xander.
MAYA
You can't do that! You can't do that to Liv!
LUCY
I... I don't know what else to do! Xander
hasn't left his house for a week. He won't
talk to me. My daughter is doing God knows
what and she won't talk to me...
(she begins to sob)
I just don't know what to do anymore.
Maya tears up.
MAYA
But... It's not right!
LUCY
Don't you think I know that! That's my
little girl out there! She comes home every
night, battered all to hell! Then she cries!
Cries all night long and I can't do a damn
thing to comfort her! So tell me Maya, what
exactly am I supposed to do?
MAYA
(bursting into tears)
Fix it!
Lucy looks at her in shock.
LUCY
Honey...
MAYA
You always fix it! You're the fixer.
Maya begins to sob. Lucy gingerly pulls her into a hug.
MAYA
Why can't you fix it?
Lucy says nothing, but holds on to Maya.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Jordy, who is wearing a large band-aid on his head, answers the
door to find Maya standing there, her eyes still red from
crying.
MAYA
Hey.
JORDY
Hey.
Maya starts to cry a little. Jordy steps up and takes her into
his arms. A moment passes as they comfort each other.
MAYA
Missed you at school today.
JORDY
Sorry. Heard you gave Vanessa another excuse
to visit her plastic surgeon.
MAYA
(laughs a little)
Yeah. Like she needs a punch to the face to
do that.
(pulls away)
I'm... I'm looking for Liv. Have you seen
her?
JORDY
She came by earlier for some weapons.
MAYA
Why didn't you stop her?
JORDY
(referring to bandage)
Yeah... well...
MAYA
She hit you?
She touches the bandage and he winces.
JORDY
Actually, that's just from banging my head
on the coffee table after she... uh, kicked
me in the... Well let's just say I'm singing
in a higher octave.
MAYA
We've got to do something.
JORDY
I tried that bald story thing, but that's
when I got kicked.
MAYA
(smiles)
Well, then you didn't tell it right.
JORDY
Obviously.
MAYA
What about Mr. Harris?
JORDY
(shaking his head)
I don't think so. He won't come downstairs.
His weird-o-vision has been going off the
charts lately.
(Off Maya's reaction)
What?
MAYA
Liv's Mom called the council. She thinks
they're going to send someone to replace
him.
JORDY
Because of Brad?
MAYA
Liv's freaking out. He's almost a
vegetable, what would you do?
JORDY
What can we do?
MAYA
I'm going to go look for her...
JORDY
I don't think that's a good idea. From the
visions Mr. Harris has been having, there's
something bad lurking out there.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - BEDROOM
The African couple stand in front of Xander
MAN
Die donker mensekind opgaan.
WOMAN
Hoeveelste meer wil jou laat sterf?
XANDER
Please. Leave me alone. I didn't know.
MAN
Jou se haar lyk veileg!
WOMAN
Die donker mensekind opgaan.
EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD - NIGHT
Vanessa gets out of her car and starts walking toward her
house. On her nose is a very large bandage. Both her eyes show
bruising.
VOICE(OS)
Vanessa!
Vanessa turns to see BRAD standing up against the tree. Her
eyes widen in shock.
BRAD
Shh!
VANESSA
But...
BRAD
(smiles)
I'm dead?
Vanessa nods silently.
BRAD
That's what they want everyone to believe.
VANESSA
The... The government?
Brad moves closer to her.
BRAD
Oh... They're much bigger than that.
VANESSA
You're... a spy?
Brad laughs. Vanessa nervously laughs with him.
BRAD
You have no idea.
Brad lifts up her chin.
BRAD
Pity about your nose.
VANESSA
It's totally Fontaine's fault. If she hadn't
been so wiggy, Maya would have never slugged
me.
BRAD
Ah, the freak. Yes. I still have to look her
up and thank her for such a wonderful
evening.
VANESSA
You want to thank her?
BRAD
She changed my life.
We hear the sound of someone clearing his throat. Vanessa looks
over to see a group of vampires, game faces on, looking at Brad
impatiently. One of them gives Brad a look, brings up his arm
and taps his watch impatiently.
BRAD
Don't mind them. They hate it when I play
with my food.
Vanessa gives him a look of confusion which turns to horror as
Brad morphs into his vamp face. Before she can scream Brad has
grabbed her and sucked her dry. He casts her aside, wipes a
little blood off his chin with his finger and then licks it off
smacking his lips.
BRAD
Do all cheerleaders taste this good?
The rest of the vampires give him a dirty look.
BRAD
Oh relax. Both the slayer and the watcher
are both on the nutty side and easy
targets. There's no one on this side of the
planet that can stop us.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Jordy walks to the front door in response to the repeated
knocking. He opens it to find everyone's favorite brit Giles
standing on the front porch.
GILES
Hello. I'm looking for...
JORDY
(interrupting)
Yeah, we don't want any.
GILES
Oh, I'm afraid that you don't under...
Jordy shuts the door in Giles' face and walks away.
