INT. GREENHOUSE - NEXT
Inside the one room greenhouse (which is, obviously, filled
with all manner of plants, flowers, and ferns), Connor
plummets through air and broken glass, landing right on top
of Olivia!
He rolls off her, pushes himself up, and takes up a fighting
stance.
EXT. COMBS'S HOME - BACKYARD - NEXT
Back up next to the chopper, Weatherby mutters an inaudible
obscenity while Smith reloads.
Kaia looks down at the greenhouse as if she's about to jump
in after Connor, then she looks at her belly.
INT. GREENHOUSE - NEXT
Connor tries to punch Olivia, but she knocks his arm aside
and jabs him twice in the gut, before landing a solid punch
on his face.
Connor staggers back, and as Olivia tries to hit him again,
he spins around, allowing her arm to go past him, and KICKS
her legs out from under her.
She lands on her ass, but snaps right back up, and roundhouse
kicks Connor across the face, sending him staggering.
OLIVIA
(taunting)
Poor demon can't keep up?
CONNOR
(sneers)
Not a demon.
He punches her across the face, but the Slayer recovers
almost instantly, returning the same blow.
OLIVIA
No? You're stronger then a
vampire...
CONNOR
Yeah, if I can't figure it out,
you sure as hell aren't going to.
This throws Olivia, who stops, although by the look of her,
she's ready to pounce at the slightest sign of a threat.
OLIVIA
Not human? And with the Council?
She's talking very quickly, and Connor, also holding his
stance, speaks at the same speed.
CONNOR
Special mission.
OLIVIA
You're... you're protecting demons?
CONNOR
You're killing a little too much
for my personal liking.
(beat)
Also, they're paying well.
They stare in silence for a few seconds, before Olivia
notices Connor's hand drifting ever so slightly towards his
front pocket, where a bulge the size and shape of the
tranquilizer darts case can be seen.
Olivia LEAPS at him, and as Connor throws himself aside, we:
CUT TO:
EXT. COMBS'S HOME - BACKYARD - NEXT
The chopper has moved over to a clear patch of yard right
next to the greenhouse, slowly lowering itself down, although
the pilot seems to be stopping every few seconds to turn a
bit.
Kaia stares at the greenhouse, trying to see what's going on
in there, until she turns her head, as if she heard
something.
KAIA
(listens; then:)
Jump out!
She LEAPS out of the shopper, which is only about a ten-foot
fall to the ground.
Smith and Weatherby follow instantly, just as a SWOOSHING
sound is heard, and a ROCKET strikes the tail rotor, sending
the chopper SMASHING through the greenhouse!
INT. GREENHOUSE - NEXT
The chopper SMASHES through the greenhouse, and Connor and
Olivia break away to cover their heads from falling glass.
After a few seconds, the falling glass subsides, and Connor
looks around to see dozens of FIGURES walking towards him,
through the broken side of the greenhouse.
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT ONE
ACT TWO
FADE IN.
INT. GREENHOUSE - RESUME
Connor and Olivia are eyeballing the emerging figures,
quickly revealed to be SCOURGE DEMONS, all wearing plain grey
uniforms.
Olivia glances from Connor, to the demons, and back to
Connor.
OLIVIA
You're working with them?
CONNOR
Them? No.
(beat)
Who is 'them'?
OLIVIA
(unnerved)
The Scourge.
CONNOR
(nods)
Ah.
(beat)
Who?
EXT. COMBS'S HOME - BACKYARD - NEXT
The Scourge are also surrounding Weatherby, Smith, and Kaia
outside, both groups wary, but holding for now.
WEATHERBY
Who is that, then?
One demon speaks.
SCOURGE MEMBER
(growling)
Meat.
It LUNGES at Weatherby, who brings his sub-machine gun up,
and FIRES off a burst, killing the demon instantly.
SMITH
Kill them!
Another of the Scourge Demons leaps at Smith, but Kaia
instantly WOLFS OUT, using her claws to carve bloody gashes
into its side!
Smith and Weatherby open fire into the crowd, dragging their
guns along the surging horde, trying to do as much damage as
possible.
Their guns run dry after only a few seconds, and they drop
their main rifles, pulling out sidearms, Smith, a small
pistol, and Weatherby, two medium-sized pistols.
They shoot at the crowd, firing potshots as they run across
the back of the house, towards the garage, Kaia tearing into
any ones that get too close to the old men.
They make their way to the back door to the garage, and the
two men slip inside.
Kaia BITES one of the Scourge on the arm, and another brings
its arms up, revealing a small blade on the inside, which the
demon brings down, SLASHING Kaia's right arm.
Kaia jerks back, then LUNGES forward, PLUNGING her claw
through the demon's chest, spilling black blood all over its
uniform.
She tears away from the demon, bounding into the garage.
INT. COMB'S GARAGE - NEXT
Kaia slams the door behind her, and grabs and braces herself
against it, blood from the wound on her arm staining her fur.
She shifts back to human form, panting from exhaustion.
Weatherby is inside a HUMMER H2, playing around inside the
dashboard, while Smith is pointing his pistol at the door.
WEATHERBY
Got it!
The car starts up, and Smith jumps into the passenger seat,
yelling at Kaia:
SMITH
Come on! We're leaving!
Kaia dashes to the car, climbing in the backseat. She grabs
Weatherby's shoulder, her eyes briefly flashing BLACK.
KAIA
(sharp)
Not without Connor!
Weatherby nods and hits the gas just as the first few demons
pile through the door, smashing through them, and the wall,
and out to:
EXT. COMBS'S HOME - BACKYARD - NEXT
The Hummer rams through the Scourge, tearing across the yard,
before spinning around for another pass as the cluster of
demons.
INT. GREENHOUSE - NEXT
Back in the greenhouse, one of the demons, a large, patchwork
skinned SCOURGE LEADER steps forward.
SCOURGE LEADER
Human.
Connor looks at the demon, unsure of how to respond.
SCOURGE LEADER
(demanding)
What is your stake in this?
Connor thinks for a second, before:
CONNOR
Money. But clearly not enough for
this.
SCOURGE LEADER
Leave.
CONNOR
(nonchalant)
Sure.
OLIVIA
What? You said you're Council,
right?
CONNOR
No, just hired help.
OLIVIA
(desperate)
Well, then help!
CONNOR
Uh, yeah, no.
He turns to walk away, but before he can even take a step,
the Hummer SMASHES through the glass wall of the greenhouse,
causing the roof to crack and splinter.
Smith leans out the passenger side door, yelling at Connor:
SMITH
Get in the bloody car!
Connor runs for the door, but a Scourge jumps in his way.
Connor grabs the demon and throws it aside, trying not to
slow down at all.
Another demon runs right in front of the door, but Connor
just JUMPS upwards, pushing off the demon's shoulder, and
leaping onto the top of the car.
CONNOR
Just go!
The car spins its back wheels, before peeling off and
smashing yet another hole in the greenhouse.
EXT. COMBS'S HOME - BACKYARD - NEXT
The Hummer exits the wall of the greenhouse, leaving the
entire building to collapse in its wake. It smashes through
the wooden side fence of Combs's yard, and out to:
EXT. SUBURBIA STREETS - NEXT
The Hummer ploughs through the wooden fence, and out into a
road in a high-end neighborhood.
ON CONNOR, still crouching on the roof. He looks over at one
side of the vehicle as Olivia hauls herself up from the back
of the Hummer. She crouches next to Connor, glaring at him.
OLIVIA
I'll kill you if you come after me
again.
She holds the glare for a moment, before pushing herself
away, back-flipping off the hummer, and landing on a passing
car.
Connor stares after her for a half minute, then lowers
himself into the side door window, which has been rolled
down.
INT. HUMMER - NEXT
Connor slides into the seat next to (human) Kaia.
CONNOR
You alright?
Kaia holds up her bloody arm.
KAIA
Nothing a few hundred stitches
won't fix.
CONNOR
Good.
(beat; angry)
Now, why didn't you jump into the
fight?
Kaia takes a deep breath, then:
KAIA
I... I just...
She looks down at her belly, but before she can continue,
Connor speaks up.
CONNOR
Let me rephrase: Why did you come
along if you're just going to wimp
out on me? I bring you into
something like this, you gotta pull
your weight.
(beat)
And your kids' weight too.
Kaia glares at him, but Connor just shrugs.
CONNOR
Don't get knocked up next time.
(beat)
Anyway, if you aren't gonna fight,
I got something else for you.
He holds up two scraps of cloth: one black, obviously
Olivia's, and the other grey, obviously from a Scourge Demon.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - EARLY MORNING
Pike pushes the door open and holds it open for Gabriella to
enter.
Gabriella steps through with a downcast expression, one arm
in a sling.
Outside the window, we can see that its early morning now.
Gabriella moves over to the couch, sitting down. Pike shuts
the door and takes a step in.
PIKE
Can I get you anything?
Gabriella doesn't answer.
PIKE
Painkillers? Food? Anything?
GABRIELLA
Lesi.
Pike bites his lip.
PIKE
I've already got my best people on
it.
Gabriella gives him her best "Yeah, right" look.
Pike walks over and sits down on the couch next to her.
PIKE
Yeah, I've mostly just been driving
around hoping I luck out.
GABRIELLA
Got anything for depression?
PIKE
(shrugs)
Alcohol?
Gabriella tries not to smile, but lets one slip out anyway.
She looks over at him, and he smiles back at her.
Gabriella drops her head onto Pike's shoulder.
GABRIELLA
Do you have-
PIKE
I can-
They stop, smiling at each other again.
Pike leans towards Gabriella a bit... Gabriella leans towards
Pike a bit... their lips are only a few inches apart...
WHAM!
The door is thrown open by a furious Connor, startling the
two sitting on the couch, and causing them to quickly recoil
away from each other.
CONNOR
(in mid sentence)
...idiots just keep your damn
secrets, and it nearly gets us
killed!
Weatherby and Smith follow him in, stopping at the doorway.
WEATHERBY
I told you we-
CONNOR
(shouting)
Next time explain the whole story!
WEATHERBY
The reason she's called 'rogue' is
because we don't know what she's
doing!
SMITH
Which includes anyone she may be
associating with.
Pike gets up off the couch, taking a step towards the
Weatherby and Smith.
PIKE
(to Connor)
What's up?
Connor finally turns to face Pike and Gabriella.
CONNOR
These two almost got me killed.
PIKE
Good times, then?
Connor grins, sitting down on the couch next to Gabriella,
who picks up the remote and flicks the TV on.
CONNOR
(to Gabriella)
How are you holding up?
GABRIELLA
(flat)
Fine.
CONNOR
Cool.
GABRIELLA
What happened?
CONNOR
You ever heard of The Scourge?
PIKE
(confused)
Sonic's evil twin?
Everyone in the room glances at him, then they all cease
paying him any real attention.
GABRIELLA
They're a group of hyper-speciest
demons, almost Nazi-like in their
goals of "purifying" demons on
earth, basically trying to ensure
that the only demons on earth are
pure demons.
CONNOR
Didn't someone tell me once that
there are NO pure demons?
GABRIELLA
Yes. Not anymore. But the Scourge
basically have no humanity left in
them. They're about close to pure
as you're going to get.
Connor shrugs.
CONNOR
Whatever. I've got Kaia hunting
them down, so I'm good.
EXT. ALLEYWAY - NEXT
In a dark, dank ALLEYWAY, a WEREWOLF (noticeably wearing a
very baggy t-shirt and jeans) darts into view.
It holds up a scrap of black cloth, sniffs it. After a beat,
it HOWLS.
INT. UNKNOWN - DARK ROOM - NEXT
Inside a room that is all but black, Olivia, the only visible
occupant, jumps at the fading sound of the howl. She holds up
a handgun, and looks out a small, very dirty window - the
only source of light.
Cautiously, she tucks the gun away, and looks down at her
arm, where a large GASH can be seen, half-stitched up.
Olivia brings a needle and thread into frame, and continues
stitching it.
EXT. ALLEYWAY - NEXT
Back with the werewolf, as it MORPHS into human form: ALICIA
SINCAID.
Alicia pulls out a cell phone, and starts pressing buttons.
INT. KAIA'S APARTMENT - KAIA'S ROOM - NEXT
Kaia is sitting on her bed, stitching up the wound on her
arm, carefully threading the needle through her skin.
Her phone, over on the night stand, BUZZES, and Kaia reaches
over to pick it up.
She checks the text message, grabs a pen and note pad, and
jots something down.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - NEXT
Connor is still sitting on the couch, resting his head on the
back, thinking.
CONNOR
There's still something we're not
getting here.
GABRIELLA
I don't... wait.
She turns up the volume on the TV, and we hear:
REPORTER (O.S.)
(through TV)
... murder of Adrian Combs, who
earlier today escaped an attack on
his person at the CSULA campus.
Authorities are still
investigating, but sources inside
the police are saying that Combs's
body was mutilated, before a bomb
was set off inside his home.
Weatherby makes a "Hmmmm" sound.
WEATHERBY
Probably Olivia, covering her
tracks.
CONNOR
Maybe you didn't see her get her
ass blasted out the window?
Weatherby throws him a dirty look, but Connor either doesn't
notice, or doesn't care.
CONNOR
Plus, she sure as hell didn't try
to cover her tracks when she shot
up a crowd earlier.
(beat; to Gabriella)
GABRIELLA
Hang on. Do you remember Selene
Alba? I remember her saying Combs
brought the Scourge to LA a few
years back.
CONNOR
Now he's dead, and they pop up?
Can't be a coincidence.
WEATHERBY
We're not after The Scourge right
now, we're trying to get-
SMITH
We're trying to capture a rogue
Slayer.
CONNOR
She's after The Scourge. Has to be.
(beat)
Which means she's still doing her
job as a Slayer, I guess.
WEATHERBY
She's our slayer! Her jobs is to do
what we tell her to!
CONNOR
Yeah, good job with that.
(beat)
But I don't work for you.
Weatherby starts to interject, but Connor cuts him off.
CONNOR
I'll still help you take the girl
in, but there's a larger picture
here and I hate being in the dark.
SMITH
But it's not-
CONNOR
Okay, you came to me for help, so
we're doing this my way.
(beat)
Go back and gear up to head out
again.
Weatherby and Smith hesitate.
CONNOR
And give me a list of all those
people she's killed again.
Smith scowls, but digs around in his pocket and pulls out a
piece of paper, which he gives to Pike.
EXT. ANOTHER ALLEY - NEXT
Another WEREWOLF lets out a HOWL in another dirty alley.
This one shifts into CARMEN CABELLO (2x03), pulls out a
cellphone, and hits a few buttons.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - NEXT
Connor is entering the living room again, this time carrying
three beers. Gabriella is still on the couch, while Pike is
standing at the entrance. Connor hands a bottle to each of
them, right before his cellphone RINGS.
CONNOR
(answering)
Yeah?
INTERCUT WITH:
INT. KAIA'S APARTMENT - KAIA'S ROOM - SAME TIME
KAIA
I've got both addresses for you.
CONNOR
Already?
KAIA
Yeah. I'll text them to you in a
sec, just wanted to know what our
next move is.
CONNOR
Just keep playing "mother hen" and
I'll take it from here.
Kaia seethes, but answers with:
KAIA
Fine. Let me know how it works out.
END INTERCUT
Connor snaps his phone shut, sets his beer aside, and tucks
his phone away.
He looks up at Pike.
CONNOR
Alright, let's go.
Pike gives him a quizzical look before chugging the rest of
his beer.
EXT. ABANDONED BUILDING - MORNING
Pike and Connor step out of Pike's car, looking at an old,
abandoned retail store.
PIKE
So what's this place?
CONNOR
Olivia's hideout.
PIKE
(blinks)
Uh... what? I'm not about to go up
against a Slayer, dude.
Connor starts walking up to the entrance, Pike following.
CONNOR
We're not here to fight.
PIKE
Does she know that?
INT. ABANDONED RETAIL STORE - NEXT
Pike and Connor step inside.
The building hasn't been used in a long time, as evidenced by
the empty, dust-coated racks.
Connor starts walking down one of the aisles, dead set on
whereever it is he's going.
PIKE
You sure she's here?
Connor keeps walking, Pike still on his heels.
PIKE
Like, I imagine, if I needed a
place to squat, I'd probably,
y'know, get a motel, or something,
right?
Connor stops, turning to face Pike.
CONNOR
She's here.
PIKE
Where?
CONNOR
Look up.
Pike does so, and the camera PANS UP as well, to Olivia,
holding onto one of the ceiling supports.
CONNOR
Hey.
Olivia releases the support, dropping down to the ground.
She lands on her feet, and pulls a PISTOL out a holster on
her belt.
Pike snaps a pistol out of his jacket and points it at her,
the two of them engaged in a Mexican standoff.
Connor quickly GRABS each of their arms, pointing them
upwards.
CONNOR
Uh-uh. No fighting.
Olivia shoots him a glare.
OLIVIA
I told you to stay out of-
CONNOR
That was just a misunderstanding.
Now we're on the same side. My
name's Connor, by the way.
OLIVIA
Huh?
CONNOR
Combs was in league with The
Scourge. Until they killed him. So
obviously something's changed, and
you're trying to stop it.
(beat)
And I'm going to help you.
Off Olivia's unsure look, we:
BLACK OUT.
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
FADE IN.
EXT. ESTATE - LATE MORNING
A large LIMOUSINE pulls up in front of a nice-looking estate;
the only building currently visible.
The vehicle steps, and a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed man,
dressed in a grey uniform, steps out, chatting on a cell
phone. This is LARS BIELKHADEN.
Two BODYGUARDS emerge from the limo behind him, following as
he heads for the door.
Lars speaks in a very heavy swede accent: the same voice that
taunted Olivia over Combs'S murder last night.
LARS
(into phone)
Of course, it'll be a great
weekend.
He opens the front door to the estate, and walks into:
INT. ESTATE - FRONT ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS
Lars doesn't stop as he enters, heading past a pair of large,
curving stairways.
LARS
(into phone)
Oh, and thank you again for setting
me up in this lovely rental estate.
I couldn't be happier with it.
He turns into:
