TEASER
INT. ST. BUFALARI'S GYMNASIUM - HOMECOMING - FLASHBACK
Brad stands in the middle of the gym with Maya. Demons are
flooding in. Water from the sprinkler systems is falling from
the ceiling causing vampires to burst into dust. Brad looks
down at Liv with a confused look.
LIV
Better go now before it gets too crazy.
BRAD
What's going on?
LIV
The forces of hell are attacking homecoming.
BRAD
What?
LIV
Go. Now.
Brad hesitates. Liv gives him a look of longing.
LIV
Oh... What the hell!
Liv grabs Brads tie, pulls him down and gives him one big
passionate kiss.
XANDER(OS)
Liv! A little help here!
Liv lets Brad go and gives him a devastating smile.
LIV
Go. Now.
And with a quick spin, she turns around and decapitates a
charging Ypoog demon.
Brad's eyes widen and he dives out an emergency exit.
EXT. SAINT BUFALARI'S CAMPUS
A couple of people are hanging outside the emergency exit and
greet Brad.
PERSON
You okay Brad?
BRAD
(smiles)
You bet. Hell of a night, huh?
PERSON
Buddy. You don't know the half of it.
The group of people slowly begin to surround Brad.
BRAD
Do I know you guys?
PERSON
No... but we know you.
They all vamp out and roughly grab Brad, holding him in place.
BRAD
What the hell?!
WOMAN'S VOICE
The prince of hearts has come to dance with
me.
Drusilla steps out of the shadows and walks up to Brad and
gently caresses his face. Brad struggles to get away
DRUSILLA
Promise not to run? I don't like it when they
run.
BRAD
Who are you?
DRUSILLA
Shhh. The shadow that follows you round and
round will be with you soon. You walk in
worlds you are not aware of yet, waiting to
be awakened and connected.
BRAD
What!?
DRUSILLA
I've been so lonely. I've lost my father and
my sweet knight. The red one's say that you
would be an excellent consort.
BRAD
I'm really sorry lady, I don't know what the
hell you talking about.
Dru puts finger on Brad's lips, shushing him.
DRUSILLA
Shhh... Look at me dearie.
She waves two fingers in front of Brad's eyes and begins to
hypnotize him. He no longer struggles against the other
vampires. They let go of Brad and step away.
DRUSILLA
Be... in my eyes. Be... in me
Brad is completely under her spell. Drusilla touches his face
and leans in. They kiss passionately. She pulls away from Brad,
who is completely enraptured. She vamps out.
DRUSILLA
Will you be my everything?
BRAD
(dazed)
Yes...
She bears fangs and bites into Brad's neck drinking deep. Brad
barely cries out in pain and his cries quickly turns into moans
of pleasure as Dru drains his life away.
Dru pulls away from Brad, who is barely alive. Brad falls to
his knees. Dru slashes her wrist and holds it up for Brad to
drink. As he begins to drink from her, she moans in pleasure.
DRUSILLA
Oh... Good Night, sweet prince.
Brad dies and falls back onto the ground.
DRUSILLA
When you awake the three will be waiting. Do
not sleep too long for the skies are calling
for you my prince of hearts.
Dru kisses Brad on the forehead and disappears into the night.
MAYA(VO)
I don't get it.
INT. ST. BUFALARI'S SCHOOL - HALLWAY
Maya and Jordy are leaning up against the locker wall as Liv
pulls out her books.
MAYA
It's like that creature where you cut of the
head and it grows another one instantly.
LIV
Hydra.
MAYA
That's it.
ANGLE ON:
A group of cheerleaders. All the cheerleaders are in uniform
and are wearing black arm bands. HALEY, the new head
cheerleader is... well leading the discussion.
HALEY
Okay, girls. I know this is a difficult
time, but it's up to us to keep the spirit
alive. I want each of you to work on the
memorial wall in honor of Brad and Vanessa
and together we can start the healing.
ANGLE ON:
Maya and Liv. Maya is disgusted.
MAYA
Memorializing Brad and Vanessa? Who would
have thunk? Look at Haley... She's already
taken on Squad captain and Vanessa is barely
in the ground and she hated Brad with
vengeance.
Liv closes her locker and the odd squad starts walking off to
class.
LIV
I'd rather not think about it.
MAYA
Sorry.
LIV
S'okay. It's just... weird.
MAYA
Weird? You battle creatures of the night.
One of your best friends is a werewolf. You
hang out with a one-eyed man and a living
puppet. And to top it off your homecoming
date became a vampire who's destined to
unleash hell on earth.
JORDY
Olivia Fontaine. Master of the
understatement.
LIV
Again... with the not-thinking.
MAYA
Right. Sorry.
Jordy stops in front of a door.
JORDY
This is me.
MAYA
That's not your class. That's the exit.
JORDY
This is me skipping class.
(kisses Maya's cheek)
Later.
Maya smiles and looks over at Liv who's laughing silently at
her.
MAYA
What?
LIV
You're all glowy.
MAYA
Shut up.
LIV
It's just fun to see you go from bad ass to
sweetie-pie.
MAYA
Shut up! Like, you never felt that way
before.
LIV
Not lately. Not since... the not-thinking
about it.
MAYA
Liv? I hate to say this... but sooner or
later you are going to have to think about
it.
LIV
Yes but when I think about it, the questions
start. Why him? Why now?
XANDER(VO)
Why Drusilla?
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Xander sits on the couch. Pongo the wonder puppet sits next to
him with the remote control surfing the tv.
PONGO
Reply hazy.
XANDER
Sorry. Do you know why it is Drusilla?
PONGO
Yes.
XANDER
So this whole thing was planned?
PONGO
It is certain.
XANDER
By the Vizier?
PONGO
My reply is no.
XANDER
By the consul?
PONGO
Signs point to Yes.
XANDER
(sighs)
This is not good.
Pongo apparently has found a show he likes and he puts down the
remote and sits back on the couch.
PONGO
It is certain.
XANDER
Wonderful.
(looking at the tv)
Passions? Are you kidding me?
PONGO
My reply is no.
XANDER
There's only one other person I know who's
ever watched this show...
EXT. HIGHWAY - DAY
A road sign: CAPE KENNETH - 100 MILES.
An old Dodge Desoto FireFlite zooms by the sign, its windows
heavily tinted.
INT. DODGE DESOTO
The tinted windows cast a gloomy darkness, hiding the features
of the driver.
A thrash version of Frank Sinatra's "My way" is playing. A
scarred hand turns the volume up and then pulls out a cigarette
lighter from the pocket of a tattered leather duster.
MUSIC
I plan each charted course
Each little step along the highway
And more, much more than this
The lighter ignites and lights the cigarette of the driver,
briefly illuminating the face of SPIKE
It's not the face we're familiar with. Two large scars criss
cross his entire face. He inhales the cigarette smoke deeply.
MUSIC
I did it my way
Spike exhales the smoke.
SPIKE
Got your invite, love...
We pan over to the passenger's seat where we see a small doll
whose eyes have been stuck with over two dozen needles.
SPIKE
...but I'm not quite sure where to
send the RSVP.
END TEASER
ACT I
INT. A DRESS SHOP
Drusilla is modeling a new dress in the mirror. Brad sits on a
counter top bored out of his mind.
BRAD
That's like the seventh dress you've tried
on tonight. Why do even you bother with the
mirror? You can't see your reflection.
DRU
The shiny glass whispers to me and tells me
of what's to come. Pst! Pst! Pst!
BRAD
Does it now? Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
What does it tell you.
DRU
That I must look my best. The king of fools
and his grandson are coming to punish me and
I've been a very naughty girl. They want to
come and pull the worms from my head.
BRAD
I don't understand.
DRU
Do I look pretty?
Brad jumps down off the counter and embraces Dru from behind.
BRAD
You look deadly.
Dru smiles a wicked grin as Brad starts to kiss the back of her
neck.
BRAD
So what is this king of fools nonsense all
about?
DRU
They want to end our playtime together.
BRAD
Well we can't let that happen now can we?
Brad spins Dru around and throws her up against the wall.
DRU
Ooo. You naughty boy.
Brad softly touches her face.
BRAD
Let's leave. I'm hungry.
DRU
You just ate.
BRAD
The old woman tasted of Lysol and lavender.
I want something fresh.
Dru giggles and claps her hands.
DRU
Can we have crumpets and cakes? Daddy would
be so pleased if we had crumpets and cakes.
BRAD
We'll have anything you want.
Brad and Dru begin to kiss as we...
CUT TO:
EXT. CAPE KENNETH CEMETERY
Liv and Maya walk through the cemetery together. Liv is in her
standard patrol gear, and Maya wields her mighty super soaker
2000. The walk through the rows of tombstones. Off on one side
a homeless man mutters to himself as he sits huddled against a
grave. Liv and Maya ignore him.
LIV
Thanks for coming tonight.
MAYA
No problem. It's either this or another
night of conjugating Latin. I think I made
the right choice.
(beat)
Why do vampires hang out in cemeteries? It's
not like there's a lot of foot traffic here.
LIV
Don't know.
MAYA
I mean who comes to a graveyard in the
middle of the night?
LIV
You mean other than you and me?
MAYA
Well... yeah. But wouldn't they go to a...
Liv stops and holds up her hand.
MAYA
What?
LIV
(whispering)
Shh! I think we're being followed.
Liv and Maya look around but there is no one to be seen.
MAYA
I don't see anyone.
LIV
I could have sworn I heard someone. C'mon,
let's keep moving.
They continue to walk.
MAYA
What was I talking about?
LIV
Vampire foot traffic.
MAYA
Right. I mean the Orange Julius at the East
side mall gets better action than this
place.
LIV
True, and I bet the people at the Orange
Julius taste fruity-licious.
MAYA
And why do vampires always explode into
dust? Couldn't they explode into a
moisturizing cream with a touch of
exfoliant?
Liv gives Maya a look like she's crazy.
MAYA
What? I can't be weird for a change?
Liv stops in her tracks and looks around.
MAYA
Now what?
LIV
I heard something.
MAYA
What?
Suddenly a vampire pops out of the ground.
LIV
Oop! We got a fresh one.
Maya jumps back and starts pumping her super soaker. Liv
charges in with fists flying. She does a one two punch
combination followed by a roundhouse kick which the vampire is
able to catch and then throw Liv off balance. He follows up
with a couple of punches on his own which Liv is able to block
off. She throws another punch, followed by another kick and
just as she is about to stake him when Maya blasts away with
her oversize squirt gun, hitting Liv in the face instead of the
vamp.
LIV
Hey!
MAYA
Sorry!
The vampire takes the opportunity and runs for it.
LIV
Crap!
Maya and Liv start chasing after the vampire who already has a
good lead.
MAYA
He's getting away!
The vampire laughs as he looks behind to see how far away he is
getting, only to run directly into the homeless man. The man
punches the vampire twice and throws him against a headstone.
The vampire jumps up and does a spin kick which the man ducks
under and sweeps the leg, knocking the vampire to the ground.
The vampire rolls and pops up behind the homeless man and
throws a punch followed by a round kick, which the man dodges
and follows with a punch combination.
Liv and Maya stop just short of the homeless man and the
vampire's fight. Maya aims her squirt gun at them.
MAN
Stake!
LIV
What?
The homeless man takes two punches to the head. He kicks back
the vampire and holds out his hand to Liv.
MAN
Throw me a stake!
Liv pulls out a stake and tosses it to the Man who catches it,
drops down to avoid another punch-kick combo from the vampire.
He then lunges in with a stake to the vampire's chest before it
can recover, dusting him. The Man straightens up and turns to
the girls.
MAN
You let him get away.
LIV
I would've got him.
MAN
Are you both slayers?
Liv and Maya exchange a suspicious look.
LIV
Who's asking?
MAN
I just killed your vampire. I think that
buys me an answer.
LIV
(raising her hand)
I'm the slayer.
MAN
(to Maya)
What are you?
MAYA
I'm the plucky comic relief. Who the hell
are you?
MAN
A friend.
LIV
How do we know that?
The man steps forward and we see the familiar features of our
old buddy Angel. Like Spike, he too has a scar running from the
top of his head down the right side of his face.
ANGEL
I didn't say I was your friend. Where's your
watcher?
INT. FONTAINE HOUSE - KITCHEN
Xander and Lucy are having dinner. Xander is totally on another
planet... mentally.
LUCY
So then Jeff started going off on how he
always runs the meds through the same tubing
and I'm like...
Lucy notices that Xander is zoned out.
LUCY
Throw me on the bed Jeff and show me what a
real man is.
XANDER
Uh-huh.
LUCY
(snapping her fingers)
Sparky. Wake up.
XANDER
Huh?
LUCY
I'd say your mind is a million miles away,
but that would probably be a understatement.
XANDER
Sorry. Thinking about...
LUCY
That vampire chick running around town?
XANDER
Drusilla. She's like Queen of the damned
without all the humanity
LUCY
What else do you know about her?
XANDER
Not a lot. She's approximately 150 years
old. Crazy. Has visions about the future.
Killed a lot of people. Did I mention crazy?
LUCY
You did.
XANDER
Yeah, that about sums up everything I know.
The council has records of her... pretty
much killing lots of people in Europe.
Nothing on why she's here or what connection
she has with the Consul.
LUCY
There's no one else you can ask?
Xander sighs.
XANDER
One person. I was just hoping it wouldn't
come to that.
EXT. THE ALLEY BEHIND DOUBLE MEAT PALACE
Clem nervously walks through the dark alley. He jumps as he
hears a clatter from behind him.
CLEM
Who's there?
SPIKE steps into sight.
SPIKE
Hello Clem.
CLEM
Spike? Is that you?
SPIKE
In the flesh.
CLEM
I heard you bought the big one when
Sunnydale did the whole implosion thing.
SPIKE
I was the whole implosion thing.
CLEM
Wow. This brings back a lot of memories.
Dark alleys. Weird town. Like old times.
SPIKE
Too much like old times.
CLEM
What brings you to the Cape?
SPIKE
Looking for my Ex.
CLEM
Drusilla? I haven't heard a thing about her.
But there's a guy here from the old days who
might be able to help you.
SPIKE
I know who he is. Just hoping it wouldn't
come to that.
EXT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - FRONT DOOR
Jordy opens the door to see Spike standing there.
JORDY
Can I help you?
SPIKE
I'm looking for Xander.
JORDY
(interrupting)
Sorry, we don't want anything to do with
vampires.
Jordy slams the door in Spike's face.
SPIKE
Bullocks.
