INT. SPIKES BEDROOM THE HYPERION L.A TIME UNKNOWN

ZOOMING IN on ILLYRIA and SPIKE lying on the bed. They seem real cozy

The god king push at Spike until he scoots against the headboard, then she lays down,

pillowing her head on his leg.

SPIKE

(whispering)

Are you alright?

ILLYRIA(nodding)

Yes.

(beat)

"I am, however, tired. I will sleep. Do not move, half-breed."

FOCUSING ON Spike as he starts to put his hand on her hair but then seems to hesitate,

before finally tangling his fingers in the blue mess. She murmurs and leans into his grip a

little, like a cat, and he smiles fondly. (Whats going on?!)

FLASH.

AN EAR PITCHING SCREAM.

THE CAMERA FOCUS on a corner of the hallway as ANGEL, WILLOW, XANDER and

7 HOURS AGO:

INT. ANGELS OFFICE THE HYPERION L.A DUSK

A WIDE SHOT of the office reveals ANGEL sitting behind his desk, scanning through some

papers, and SPIKE standing on the other side of the desk.

SPIKE

(shrugging)

You're probably gonna say no to this, but I wanna go on this mission.

ANGEL(without hesitation)

Go.

SPIKE

(grinning)

Go?

(hesitation)

What... Are you trying to get rid of me?

ANGEL

(deep sigh)

How ever could youve guessed that?

SPIKE

(scrutinizing Angel)

Then youre not going?

ANGEL

(nodding)Correct.

ILLYRIA

(monotony)

Incorrect.

FOCUS ON the door as ILLYRIA suddenly walks in. Her gaze surveys the room and the two

vampires in it with little emotion.

ILLYRIA

According to the elder watcher there have been reports of an unclassified demon species not

far from here. He wants a team to investigate the matter.

ANGEL

(frown)

A team?

ILLYRIA

(slight tilt)

Yes. You, Spike, Connor, Faith, Dawn and Cyclops.

ANGEL

(puzzled)

Cyclops?

SPIKE

(equally puzzled)

Dawn?

ANGEL

Whos Cyclops?

SPIKE

(shaking his head)

You really need to get you acronyms straight, ol man.

(pitying headshake)

Leery is talking about Xander.

ANGEL

Oh.

SPIKE

(focusing on Illyria)

About Dawn

ANGLE ON Illyria as she tilts her head and turn all focus to the blond vampire.

ILLYRIA

SPIKE(rah-rah motion with his fist)

Wahay! A new emotion. Whats the count now? Five?

FOCUS ON Angel as he holds up three fingers.

PAUSE.

ILLYRIA

(sneering)

Im not in the mood for any more foolishness.

A WIDE SHOT as the two vampires exit the room with Illyria shortly behind. The CAMERA

FOLLOWS them out into the lobby where the gang awaits. Each one of them armed. Faith

with a stake in her belt, Xander with a crossbow, Connor with a sword and Dawn with the

scythe.

ANGEL

(staring at Dawn)

Did Buffy give you permission to use that?

DAWN

(shrugging)

She wont find out.

A CLOSE UP on the frustrated expression in the dark haired vampires face. (Ah, poor little

Angel. Mwuahahaha.)

SPIKE

(chuckling)

Lets go and be heroes.

A WIDE SHOT as the team leaves the lobby and exits through the front door. It closes swiftly

behind them.

INT. THE TRAINING ROOM THE HYPERION L.A NIGHTFALL

ALL LIGHT ON BUFFY punching on a sandbag. (A/N: The blond slayer seems to be working

(another hard punch)

FOCUS on the sandbag as it loosens from its hinges and crash to the floor.

The CAMERA PANS OUT to a WIDE SHOT of the training room, to reveal WILLOW and

ANDREW standing by the side.

ANDREW

(edgy)

Maybe he picks up on that vibe youre sending out?

BUFFY

(steely gaze)

ANDREW

ANDREW

(quickly)

Of course not!!

ANGLE ON Willow as she walks over to the tense slayer and put a hand on her shoulder.

WILLOW

Spike isn't going to hand you anything. You want him, you've gotta take him. Jump him.

LONG SILENCE.

BUFFY

Why does everyone seem to think I need to get laid?

ANOTHER (VERY) LONG SILENCE.

FADE OUT-

CUT TO-

EXT. DARK GRAVEYARD SOMEWHERE IN L.A NIGHT

A WIDE SHOT of the scene reveals ANGEL busy fighting an unknown demon while the

rest of the gang seems occupied with a bunch of vampires.

FOCUS on Angel as he receives a hard punch to the face that makes him stumble back.

XANDER

(o.c)

Need any help, Angel?!

The CAMERA PANS FORWARD to show us XANDER sitting in a car.

ANGEL

(o.c)

I think Ill manage!!

The CAMERA RETURNS to our dark hero as he vamps out and charges at the demon. He

places his hands on either side of the thick head and twist sharply. The head comes off with

an audible pop. But thats not all; as the head is severed from the body, a mist of some kind

rises from the body and engulfs Angel and almost everybody in a close proximity.

8/14/2019 Episode 1x17 Desires

FOCUS ON Angel as he blinks furiously. The vampire lifts his gaze and looks over at Faith

just as Xander comes running up behind her.

ANGEL

Faith?

(pause)

Xander?

XANDER

(between breaths)

Man, that was intense!!

ANGEL

(squinting)

Have you been working out?

XANDER

What?

(swallowing)

Did you get hit in the head?

FAITH

(hurrying to Angels side)

Oh baby, are you okay?

XANDER

(mouthing)

Baby?

SPIKE

(shouting)

Hey, are you guys okay?!

ANGEL

(yelling)

SPIKE

(still shouting)

Great! Then Leery and I can get out of here and make with the love.

XANDER

(flabbergasted)

The CAMERA SWEEPS AROUND to reveal Spike and Illyria leaving the scene looking

rather snugly. Whats going on??

The CAMERA RETURNS to Xander and the peeved expression on his face.

XANDER

Whats going on?

CONNOR

Yo, dad!!

Connor and Dawn appear into view, approaching the three of them. The two youngsterswalk hand in hand.

ANGEL

the outfit from before; jeans and a red shirt. Willow is wearing a denim skirt and a white

blouse. Her long hair is braided and there are silver earrings touching her shoulders. The

watchers clothed in jeans and a grey turtleneck.)

WILLOW

(furtive glance at Giles)

You seem edgy, Giles?

GILES

(continuation of pacing)

It doesnt feel okay sending the team out when we really have no idea what kind of demon
