Enjoy... -Teaser- Night. There's a huge fire coming from an old building. We can hear screams and cries. People are running from all directions. A mother is holding her daughter's hand but a vampire grabs her and bites her. The little girl holds her doll close to her heart as a woman comes and steals it away from her. The child falls to the ground. The camera focuses on the woman's face. It's Drusilla. She smiles and walks slowly toward Angel who's lying on the floor, half conscious. He breathes deeply and tries to get up but he can't. He looks around him in horror. Dru glances at the doll. Drusilla: "Do you hear the screams, missy?" She takes the doll and put it beside Angel's arm. Drusilla: "Daddy is having a nap...he doesn't want to play." She sulks and steps back slowly. Drusilla: "Don't worry...I'll come back for him soon." She walks away and disappears behind the smoke. We can hear sirens in the background. There's an explosion and Angel covers his face with his hands. The doll is lying next to him. It looks just like Drusilla. -Opening credits- -Scene 1- Angel in voiceover: "I never brought a child into the light of day, but I brought one to darkness..." Night. We see Angelus walking down a street filled with people in regency clothing. A carriage passes before him. He is staring at Drusilla. She is still human. Angel voiceover: "She was pure and innocent...a saint." Camera focuses on her eyes. Angel voiceover: "There was something in her eyes that made me shiver... she knew what's to come." Dru sees Angelus and she runs away. She breathes deeply and turns around. Angelus is standing right behind her. Angel voiceover: "I never gave her a choice. She was a white sheep in our murderous existence." Dru looks at him, terrified. He comes closer and whispers in her ear. Angel voiceover: "I made her mine. And she became strong, evil and one of the darkest of our kind." Angel leans over Dru as tears rolls down her face. Angel voiceover: "She's my sin, my child..." Angel opens his eyes suddenly. He�s lying in his bed. Cordelia is sitting on a chair next to him. She fell asleep. Angel straightens up in pain and moans. Cordy wakes up and looks at him. Cordy: "Hi there, sleepy head." Angel: "How did I get here?" Cordy: "We found you left for dead two nights ago." Angel stares at the window. It's night. Angel: "I slept for two days!?" Cordy: "Yeah. We started making jokes about you. You were lying on the floor, holding this doll..." she shows him the doll. Angel: "Drusilla!" angel gets up in a hurry. Angel: "She is back." Scene 2 Cut to a very nice apartment. Darla is sitting on a sofa looking bored as Dru is talking to her. Drusilla: "So he grabbed a stake and told her he loved her." She puts her hands on her ears and groans. She watches Darla who's lost in her thoughts. Then she comes to sit next to her. Drusilla: "I know what naughty wicked Angel did to you." Darla stares at her, intrigued. Drusilla: "Someone whispered it into my ear." She starts to stroke her hair. Drusilla: "We can hurt him too. I know a game he would really like. He taught me how to play." Darla: "I'm ready for revenge." Dru smiles widely. Drusilla: "First...we need new players." She gets up excited. Darla: "New players?" she looks at her and nods. Drusilla: "We'll need someone special." Dru exits and Darla follows her.Cut to: Wolfram&Hart parking lot. Lilah is walking to the elevator. She hears steps and turns slightly to see who it is. She finds Lindsey standing next to her. He stops her. Lindsey: "What's going on, Lilah?" She looks at him and smiles. Lilah: "What did you think would happen, Lindsey? That you'd play with the cat without getting caught?" Lindsey stares. Lilah: "They know that you hid Darla. And let me tell you that they are really pissed off about it." Lilah grins. Lindsey: "I'm being followed. I have no access to the building anymore. That's crazy..." Lilah starts to laugh. Lilah: "Game's over. I would leave town real fast if I were you." Lindsey: "You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" They look at each other for a few seconds, and then Lilah walks away. Lindsey watches her leave in despair and anger. Lilah turns again. Lilah: "Oh, and Lindsey...I'm the one who got the job." She enters the building and disappears behind the doors. -Scene3- Cut to the Hyperion. Angel is in the garden, training. He looks tired. He stops suddenly and without turning back: Angel: "Hi." Kate is standing behind him. Kate: "I came to see how you were doing. Gunn told me about the fight. Was it her...Darla?" Angel: "No, it was another part of my past." She hesitates before asking. Kate: "Why don't you ever talk about that? I mean...your past." Angel: "What's there to tell?" Kate: "I don't know. It just seems that it always catches up with you. You are having a hard time dealing with it...why?" Angel: "I don't know." Kate looks at him. Kate: "I'm sorry..." She starts to walk away. Angel: "Her name's Drusilla." She turns back to face him. Kate: "And she's dangerous?" Angel: "I'd say so..." Angel looks at her in shame. Angel: "I taught her everything she knows." Kate gazes and doesn't say a word. Cut to flashback of Angel's past. Angelus is walking in a park with Darla. They are smiling at each other. They look at the other side of the road where Dru is hiding in a dark alley. She's not alone. There's a man with her who's kissing her hands. Dru glances at Angelus. He nods. Dru comes to kiss the man's neck and she grabs him hard by the head and bites him. There's nothing the poor man can do. Dru feeds off him and when she's done, she looks back at Angelus. He laughs and motions her to dump the body aside. She smiles, let go of the dead body and walks away. She's coming their way and suddenly stops. She sees a woman approaching her. Angelus and Darla are watching her, amused. Dru takes the woman's arm in hers and she takes her back to the dark alley. We hear screams for a few seconds, and then silence. Angelus: "I knew she was the one...isn't she perfect." Darla looks at him as he kisses her gently. Darla: "just like you, my dear." They walk away. Cut to Angel facing Kate in the Hyperion garden. Awkward silence. Angel gets up to leave. Angel: "I have to go." Kate nods. She's numb. |
