ACT III
BLACK SCREEN
LUCY
Hello? Hello in there?
XANDER
Oz? Oz? Wake up, buddy.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Oz is laying on the couch wrapped only in a blanket. He looks
around and sees everybody for the first time. His response?
OZ
Hey.
LUCY
We just gave you a stimulant to counteract
the tranquilizer. You feeling okay? Can I
get you anything?
OZ
Some pants would be nice.
LUCY
I'll go see what I can find.
Lucy heads upstairs.
OZ
So...
XANDER
Been a while. How've you been?
OZ
Good. You?
XANDER
Pretty good. I'm a watcher now.
OZ
Cool.
XANDER
Over there's Liv, my slayer.
OZ
We've met.
LIV
Sorry for shooting you.
OZ
It happens.
XANDER
And that's Maya, her scooby sidekick.
MAYA
I'm not a sidekick. And if I'm doing this
whole slayer groupie-slash-support thing,
we've got to come up with a better name.
PONGO
Yes. Definitely.
Oz gives Pongo an appraising glance.
OZ
Did that puppet just talk?
PONGO
Signs point to yes.
XANDER
Long story.
OZ
Okay.
XANDER
So what brings you to Cape Kenneth?
OZ
My cousin Jordy. I believe you met him.
MAYA
Wait... Jordy's your cousin?
OZ
Yeah. He's the one who bit me and turned me
into a werewolf.
XANDER
Really? That was him?
OZ
Yeah. Poor kid got bitten when he was two.
The whole werewolf thing really tore his
family apart. When Aunt Maureen died, Uncle
Ken kind of flipped out and couldn't take
care of him.
Pongo approaches Oz with a mug of coffee, which Oz takes as if
puppets served him coffee every day.
OZ
Thanks. Since then Jordy's been bouncing
around the family tree until he ended up
here with Uncle Ken's Mom. I taught him what
I knew about controlling the change, but
apparently he got into some trouble and...
Well, here I am.
XANDER
You know, I think that's the most I've ever
heard you talk.
OZ
Really? Hmm.
(Oz sips the coffee. Nods appreciatively)
Puppet makes a mean cup of coffee.
LIV
So you can totally control when you
transform into a werewolf?
Lucy comes down with a change of clothing and hands it to Oz.
OZ
Yeah. Comes in handy.
LUCY
I'd say. That's like superhero stuff. You
should get a costume, so... you know.
Non-nakedness.
OZ
Yeah... but I look pretty funny in tights.
Fur and spandex really don't mix
XANDER
You need to get some of those purple shorts
that the Incredible Hulk always ends up
wearing.
OZ
Yeah, where do you get a pair of those?
MAYA
Not trying to be rude here, but shouldn't we
refocus?
XANDER
Right. Sorry. Jordy. Can you track him?
OZ
If we go back to where we were, I should be
able to follow his scent.
LIV
We better get a move on if we want to find
him before that hunter guy does.
OZ
Who?
XANDER
Cain.
OZ
Oh.
MAYA
Maybe we should split up to cover more
ground.
XANDER
"We"? There is no "we". Well there is a
"we", but you are not a part of the "we".
MAYA
Hey, I can shoot a dart gun just as well as
anyone else.
XANDER
No.
MAYA
Then I'll just go out on my own. No superpowered
adult or teen to protect me.
Xander sighs and looks at Pongo.
XANDER
If I let her go with Liv?
PONGO
Reply hazy. Ask again later. Cannot predict
now.
MAYA
And If I go without Liv?
PONGO
Outlook not so good.
LUCY
Maya, this is not a good idea.
MAYA
Jordy is my friend. If you think I'm not
going after him...
XANDER
(sighs)
Okay, but when it hits the fan, let Liv do
the heavy lifting. I want you to be fray
adjacent.
OZ
All right, let's go.
Oz gets up and heads to the door, still in his blanket.
XANDER
Oz?
OZ
What?
XANDER
Clothes.
OZ
Oh. Right.
EXT. THE WOODS
Oz and Xander follow Jordy's trail.
OZ
So after the dingoes broke up, I moved to
Minneaoplis and played with "Otto's Chemical
Lounge". I then went to Seattle and played
bass for "The Blue Hippos". After that I was
in LA with "Love is a Punk Ass Bitch".
XANDER
How'd you get to Vegas?
OZ
Hooked up with this lounge singer in LA.
Used to have a big act at the Tropicana but
dropped out for a while. Now he's on his
comeback tour and I've got a steady gig.
XANDER
Gig. That's so cool.
OZ
I know. So you're a watcher, huh?
XANDER
Destiny played a hand.
OZ
Always seems to muck things up.
XANDER
And here we are again.
OZ
Just like old times.
XANDER
Demons
OZ
Vampires
XANDER
Zombies
OZ
Fish men
XANDER
The Judge
OZ
Band candy.
XANDER
Ever think what would've happened if we just
led normal lives?
OZ
Tried it once. Didn't take.
XANDER
Same here.
OZ
So the battle continues...
XANDER
Oh we few... We Happy few...
EXT. SAINT BUFALARI'S CAMPUS
Liv and Maya are scouting the campus. Maya is calling for Jordy
much like you would a dog.
MAYA
Jordy? Come here boy!
(Whistles)
Jordy?
LIV
Do you really think that's going to work?
MAYA
Works for my dog. Jordy is of the canine
persuasion at the moment so...
(whistles again)
Joooor-dy!
LIV
Maybe we should use deductive reasoning.
MAYA
And how do we go about that, Sherlock?
LIV
Where would you go if you were a teenage
werewolf?
MAYA
When Michael J. Fox played a teen werewolf
he joined the basketball team and went to
the school dance dressed as John Travolta.
LIV
It's going to be a long night.
MAYA
Well I doubt he's here at school. He already
trashed the place looking for...
Liv and Maya stop short, look at each other and come to the
same thought at the same time.
LIV & MAYA
Nana Framkin.
MAYA
(quickly)
Well he wasn't looking for Nana Framkin...
LIV
(quickly)
Nana Framkin may still have the stuff he was
looking for.
MAYA
Right.
LIV
Right. Let's go
They take off.
EXT. CAPE KENNETH WOODS - THE FOREST
Xander and Oz move along through the forest following Jordy's
trail. Oz is sniffing the air.
OZ
Yeah he definitely came through here. We're
not too far behind him.
XANDER
Good.
OZ
But Cain is right behind him.
XANDER
Not good.
OZ
Hey. Xand? I was wondering if you can do me
a favor when this is all over.
XANDER
Name it.
EXT. NANA FRAMKIN'S HOUSE
Maya and Liv run up to the house.
MAYA
Is this the place?
From the house we hear a woman scream followed by a loud howl.
LIV
This is the place.
Maya sees something in the distance and points at it.
MAYA
Liv!
ANGLE ON: Cain. He's loading his gun and preparing to aim.
ANGLE ON: Maya as she runs into the house.
MAYA
You take him. I'll take care of Jordy!
LIV
Maya wait!
MAYA
I can handle Jordy! Go!
Liv doesn't like it, but takes off after Cain.
INT. FRAMKIN HOUSE
Maya runs into the front foyer and stops.
MAYA
Jordy?
Nana screams from the upstairs. Maya runs up the stairs.
EXT. FRAMKIN HOUSE - BACKYARD
Cain is aligning his shot up into the house
ANGLE ON - The house through Cain's gunsight.
From a rear bedroom window we see Werewolf Jordy cornering his
grandmother. Suddenly the view is broken with the sound of
shattered glass.
Cain looks up to see a wooden stake embedded in his gunsight.
Liv steps in front of him.
LIV
Let me guess. I'm about to get a lecture on
the second amendment.
CAIN
You're going to pay for that little lady.
Cain pulls out a knife and charges after Liv. Liv does a
roundhouse kick and knocks the knife out of Cain's hand, but
Cain is able to recover and put her in a headlock before she
can fully turn around. Cain laughs as he begins to choke her.
INT. NANA FRAMKIN'S BEDROOM
Maya dashes into the room to see Jordy-Werewolf cornering his
grandmother.
NANA
Get away from me!!
Maya pulls out her dart gun. Takes a breath, aims, closes her
eyes and fires her dart gun until she empties the entire clip.
We hear Jordy-Werewolf give a deep guttural growl. She opens
her eyes and immediately gets a look of fear on her face.
MAYA
Aw Crap.
ANGLE ON: Werewolf-Jordy and Nana
The only thing the darts hit were Nana Framkin. The rest are
embedded into the wall. Jordy-Werewolf turns and snarls at Maya
MAYA
Great. Nice shooting Tex. Okay... Jordy, I
know you're in there someplace.
More snarls from Jordy-Werewolf.
MAYA
You just have to think. It's me. Your
friend. Maya. Remember? You don't want to
hurt me.
Jordy-Werewolf tilts his head like a dog listening to its
owner.
MAYA
That's a good...
Jordy-Werewolf snarls and charges at Maya.
EXT. NANA FRAMKIN'S BACKYARD
Cain still has Liv in a headlock. Liv struggles to move the arm
and failing that, throws an elbow into Cain's solar-plexus,
stomps on his instep, spins and strikes the heel of her hand
into his face and follows up with a knee to the groin. Cain
drops like a stone to the ground.
LIV
You might have better luck taking on someone
your own size.
Liv hears Maya scream followed by a werewolf howl. She takes
off towards the house.
INT. NANA FRAMKIN'S HOUSE - JORDY'S ROOM.
Maya runs into the room, slams the door behind her and pulls a
dresser in front of the door to block it. The door soon starts
vibrating violently as Jordy-Werewolf begins to tear it apart.
Maya runs around the room looking for a weapon and finds
nothing.
MAYA
Crap!
Jordy-Werewolf knocks the door into splinters and pushes the
dresser over on the ground and slowly stalks up to Maya.
MAYA
Oh God. Please don't eat me.
Suddenly Jordy's window shatters as Liv dives through, rolls,
pulls out her dart gun and plants three darts into Jordy's
side. Jordy-Werewolf snarls in surprise and then drops over
unconscious.
MAYA
Sure. Take your time getting here.
LIV
I thought you could handle Jordy.
MAYA
Thought wrong. Totally wrong.
CAIN (OS)
Thanks for doing the hard work ladies.
The butt of a rifle swings through the air and connects with
Liv's head knocking her out.
ANGLE ON: Cain as he cocks his rifle.
CAIN
Now I just have to shoot it and skin it.
