INT. WOLFRAM AND HART. DAY
IN THE BOARDROOM MANY WOLFRAM AND HART MEMBERS ARE WALKING AROUND LOOKING THROUGH SEVERAL HIGH TECH MONITORS AT THE EMPTY HOTEL. DREW IS WALKING AROUND GREETING PEOPLE
W&H SUIT
So the senior partners
sent you huh
DREW
That they did my friend
and they are about to witness
my first major business brilliance
LILAH
I don't see whats so brilliant
about it, and I thought
senior partners wanted Angel
alive not dead
W&H SUIT
Yes what is the position
on Angel with the senior
partners at the moment
DREW
(KEEPING HIS COOL FROM LILAHS JABS)
Well we want him alive and this
trap has been specifically built with his
agility and strength in mind. He should be able
to cope... his friends on the other hand
W&H SUIT
Aaah.. distract Angel with other matters
DREW
Thats right, and if they all make
it i guess I'll pay a little home visit
W&H SUIT
Well i wish your plan good luck
DREW
I assure you luck has no part in this
THE SUIT WALKS AWAY CONTENT WITH THE PLAN
LILAH
He's easily fooled..
I on the other hand
am not convinced
DREW
Well once you see it in action
you'll change your mind
(LEANS CLOSER AND WHISPERS)
And Ms Morgan.. if you critcize my
plans like that again, I'll kill you
LILAH
(TRYING TO HIDE FEAR)
Just... trying to offer
a little perspective
DREW
(BACK TO HAPPY MOOD)
And its very welcome
If you would excuse me
DREW WALKS UP TO THE MONITORS AND RAISES A GLASS
DREW
Welcome everyone,
as you all know
since he arrived in LA our friend
Angel has been a bit of a pain in our
necks.. not literally. (CROWD LAUGHS)
So I bring you here to witness
my triumph in action, I hope you enjoy
it as much as they will
DREW POINTS HIS HAND TO THE MONITOR AND THE CROWD STARES AT THE EMPTY HOTEL WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND THE GANG ENTERS
CUT TO
INT. HYPERION HOTEL. DAY
THE GANG ENTERS THE HOTEL COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE WORK DONE TO THEIR HOTEL OR THE FACT THAT WOLFRAM AND HART IS WATCHING THEM
ANGEL
I still say there was
something wrong with that
mission, i mean Cordelia didn't
even get a vision
CORDELIA
I don't have to get visions
everytime something happens
ANGEL
But that seemed like something
the powers would want to tell us
GUNN
Tricky business those powers
WESLEY
Well theres no harm done,
we were paid and nothing
happened to us
CUT TO
DREW IS RELISHING EVERY WORD SPOKEN AND LOOKS AT THE CROWD
DREW
This is just great timing
for something to happen
the dramatic irony, oh i could go
on...
But we have deaths to make happen
HE PRESSES A BUTTON AND LOOKS BACK AT THE MONITOR
DREW
Its starting
CUT TO
THE GANG IS STILL TALKING WHEN SUDDENLY A PULSE FILLS THE HOTEL AND SENDS THE GANG FLYING IN ALL DIRECTIONS
GUNN
That don't usually happen
ANGEL

GUNN AND ANGEL RUN AT THE DEMONS WHILE WESLEY TRIES TO SNEAK TO THE WEAPONS CHEST. CORDELIA GOES AS WELL. THE 5 DEMONS SPREAD AND DRAW SWORDS
CORDELIA
They have swords!!
CORDELIA RUNS BACK TO HER SPOT.
ANGEL
Wes, how are the weapons coming
WESLEY
Not good I'm in a little bother
WESLEY IS AMBUSHED BY A DEMON. HE GOES TO PUNCH IT BUT THE DEMON GRABS HIS HAND AND THROWS HIM INTO THE WEAPONS CUPBOARD SHATTERING THE GLASS.
WESLEY
(HURT) Well, at least I
got the weapons
WESLEY PICKS UP A CROSSBOW AND FIRES IT AT THE DEMON THAT THREW HIM. IT HITS HIM AND HE FALLS TO THE GROUND
WESLEY
Angel, weapons
coming
GUNN
Send some my way to English
WESLEY THROWS A SWORD TO ANGE WHO CATCHES IT JUST IN TIME TO BLOCK THE DEMONS SWORD. HE DUCKS AND KICKS THE DEMON IN THE LEGS WHO STUMBLES. ANGEL STABS THROUGH HIM.
CUT TO GUNN FIGHTING WITH AN AXE. THE DEMON HITS GUNN IN THE HEAD BEFORE HE HAS A CHANCE TO SWING THE AXE AND IS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND.
DEMON
DIE!!!!
GUNN
Not today big guy
HE ROLLS AWAY AND PICKS UP THE AXE AND SWINGS IT INTO THE DEMON
GUNN
But thanks for trying
CORDELIA IS COWERING IN A CORNER AND SCREAMS WHEN A DEMON SPOTS HER
WESLEY
Cordelia!!!!
HE SLIDES A SWORD ACROSS THE GROUND AND SHE PICKS IT UP
CORDELIA
Now I've just gotta focus
CORDELIA RISES UP AND SWINGS THE SWORD AND IT CLASHES WITH THE DEMONS. THEY HAVE A BRIEF SWORDPLAY BEFORE ANGEL THROWS ANOTHER DEMON INTO CORDELIAS ONE AND THEY BOTH FALL TO THE GROUND. CORDELIA THRUSTS THE SWORD THROUGH BOTH OF THEM. THE GANG LOOKS AROUND TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO MORE.
CORDELIA
Gross... What the hell
is going on here!!!
WESLEY
I don't know, it was very
peculiar, they all just appeared
from nowhere
ANGEL
Well that means we have to hit
the books. Find out why this would
happen.
GUNN
And what are you gonna do
ANGEL
I'm gonna go back to the mall
see if that guy knows
about this.
WESLEY
You think it was a trap??
ANGEL
I've been in the game too
long not to expect it...
Find what you can
ANGEL GOES TO LEAVE BUT THE FRONT DOOR SEALS SHUT AND IS OVERFLOWED BY A WALL.
ANGEL
(Hits the Door)
See? a trap, i knew
that mall was different
WESLEY
Well you might
as well join the research team
now. Lets go to the office
WESLEY WALKS TOWARD THE OFFICE BUT SUDDENLY SWORDS EMERGE FROM THE GROUND RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND GASH HIS LEG.
WESLEY
(CLUTCHING HIS LEG)
Well I guess we're in trouble
ANGEL
Wes... RUN!!!
MORE SWORDS START EMERGING FROM THE FLOOR AND WESLEY TRIES TO OUTRUN THEM. THEY ALL CLAMBER UP ON THE DESK TO TAKE COVER
GUNN
What the hell is going on!
ANGEL

magics and booby traps,

long time you know

A GIANT HAND EMERGES AND SNATCHES CORDELIA AND SUCKS HER INTO THE WALL
ANGEL
CORDY!!!!

WESLEY
Well, we'll need to be quick footed to
get into the office
ANGEL
Well then I'll go alone
Swords can't kill me

ANGEL LEAPS OFF THE DESK AND OUTRUNS THE SWORDS AND DIVES INTO THE OFFICE
GUNN
