ACT II
INT. CAPE KENNETH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - ER
It's pandemonium as doctors, nurses and techs rush around and
take care of the injured party go-ers.
Lucy is taking care of Vanessa and is in the process of putting
a bandage on her head.
VANESSA
Do I have to have bandage on my head? It's
so ugly.
LUCY
You're right. How about I shave your head
and give you stitches?
Vanessa goes pale at the thought.
LUCY
I thought so. You're good to go.
VANESSA
I'd feel better if I had an MRI.
LUCY
I don't think you have enough in there to
get damaged.
Vanessa walks off in a huff.
LUCY
Thank you! Come again!
LIV(OS)
(sotto)
Mom!
Lucy turns to see Liv hanging just outside the hospital door.
She walks over to her daughter.
LUCY
Hey. You all right?
LIV
I'm fine.
LUCY
You just missed a bunch of your classmates
coming through. Sounds like there was quite
a fight.
LIV
There was.
LUCY
Vampires?
(Liv nods.)
Huh.
LIV
What?
LUCY
Usually we see some kind of
(makes quote marks with her hands)
"neck rupture" when that happens.
LIV
No one got bitten?
(Lucy shakes her head)
Weird. You haven't seen Maya have you?
LUCY
No.
LIV
(relieved)
Good. She got out. How's Brad?
Sirens are heard in the background.
LUCY
Drunk. Unconscious. Concussion. He's staying
overnight. He and the rest of the trust fund
babies will be fine.
LIV
Good.
LUCY
Better move out of the way, there's an
ambulance coming in.
Two paramedics jump out of the ambulance and pull a gurney out
containing a very pummeled Jordy.
LIV
Jordy!
LUCY
What happened?
PARAMEDIC
Found him in the cemetery not to far away
from the party. Kid was delirious and had to
sedate him. Claimed his girlfriend was
kidnapped by vampires.
The paramedics rush him into the hospital.
LIV
Oh my god.
LUCY
What?
LIV
They got Maya.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Xander is talking on the PDA with Liv.
XANDER
Okay, Liv... you need to calm down.
LIV
(filtered)
Don't you understand?! They've got Maya!!
XANDER
I understand, but we've got to keep a cool
head about this.
LIV
(filtered)
Did you have a vision? Do you know where she
is?
XANDER
I saw her. She's safe for the moment.
LIV
(filtered)
Where is she?
XANDER
I don't know. What I saw could be any creepy
place in Cape Kenneth, but I did see who
took her.
LIV
(filtered)
Who?
XANDER
Based on the descriptions you and Dawn gave,
it's that visine guy.
LIV
(filtered)
The Vizier?
XANDER
That's the one. It also explains why the
vampires didn't feed. They were probably
working for him.
EXT. CAPE KENNETH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Liv is pacing outside of the ER entrance.
LIV
Aw, crap. How am I supposed to track him
down?
XANDER
(filtered)
Well... I know a guy who might be able to
tell us where. I'll set up a face to face
meeting with you.
EXT. ALLEY OUTSIDE THE DOUBLEMEAT PALACE
Liv stands at the corner. A tall demonic figure looms behind
her.
DEMON
Are you the new slayer?
Liv turns and immediately goes on the attack
DEMON
Wait!
Liv punches the demon three times and tosses him against the
dumpster.
DEMON
Wait! Don't hurt me!
Liv pulls out her axe and moves in for the kill.
DEMON
Xander sent me!
Liv stops the axe in mid swing.
LIV
What's the password?
The demon moves forward into the light and we finally see who
it is.
CLEM
"Want to see me pull a rabbit out of my
hat?"
LIV
Oh. Sorry. You must be Clem
CLEM
It's okay. Demon. Alley. Middle of the
night. What's a slayer supposed to think?
Liv smiles and helps him up.
LIV
That's very nice of you to say.
CLEM
Well I'm a pretty nice guy.
LIV
Mr. Harris said you had some information for
me?
CLEM
Did he mention my fee?
LIV
Fee?
INT. DOUBLEMEAT PALACE
Liv is giving an order to a very bored register person.
LIV
I'll have two medley meals, with extra
pickles... uh double size it. Two classic
double decker meals, extra pickles, hold the
sauce. A fisherman's medley with bacon.
Three cherry pies and a diet coke.
REGISTER PERSON
You're going to eat all that?
LIV
Uh... Yeah. I have a tapeworm.
The register person gives her a glassy eye stare and shrugs.
EXT. ALLEY OUTSIDE THE DOUBLEMEAT PALACE
Liv walks around the corner and hands a very large bag to Clem.
LIV
Here you go.
CLEM
Thanks. They won't let me in the store
anymore.
LIV
You're kidding!
CLEM
It's all about appearances.
LIV
Well the customer should always be right.
CLEM
Thanks. Now here's what I know. Scuttlebutt
on the street is that the Vizier has been
gunning for you ever since you destroyed his
sanctum.
LIV
I gathered that.
CLEM
His powers are greatly reduced now that
you've destroyed that orb thingy, but he's
still a bad person to tangle with. Last
night when I was at a poker game, one of the
vampires was telling me that the Vizier was
hiring a squad to take down you and your
friends and family.
LIV
Look, he already has my best friend captive.
Do you have any idea where he is?
CLEM
The vampire said he was meeting with him in
one of the salt mines on the North side of
town.
LIV
Thanks, Clem.
CLEM
Hey... Listen. This Vizier guy is bad news,
but he's not working alone. He usually sells
his services either for additional power
or... well a little girl doesn't need to
know that. Whoever he's working for... they
probably have an agenda. And it's not for
the betterment of mankind.
Liv takes this all in with a deep sigh.
CLEM
Anyhow. Thanks for the food.
LIV
G'night Clem.
Liv heads off into the night.
INT. VIZIER'S HIDEOUT
The two vampires bring Maya into the room bound and gagged. The
Vizier limps out of the shadows and smiles.
VIZIER
Excellent.
VAMPIRE
All right. We brought her. Where's our
reward?
VIZIER
Reward? Oh that's right...
The Vizier flicks his hands and sends out two fireballs at the
vampires who burst into flame. Maya screams through her gag.
The Vizier laughs.
VIZIER
Hello my dear. Allow me to introduce
myself. I am the Vizier. Counselor of Sacul.
Former guardian of the Orb of Greblieps. Do
you know why I say "former guardian"?
Maya says something but is muffled by the gag.
VIZIER
That's because your little slayer friend
destroyed it. She destroyed the one artifact
that took centuries for me to "secure" and
use. She also destroyed my plans to use the
Key and sullied my reputation with the
Consul all in one fell swoop. Of course, the
dagger in the foot so that I always walk
with a limp is just icing on the cake. So...
Just in case you are wondering why you are
here...
The Vizier gets up close to Maya's face.
VIZIER
(menacing)
It's payback time.
Maya whimpers. The Vizier does the whole evil maniacal laughing
thing.
