INT. WOLFRAM AND HART. DAY

DREW IS LOOKING CONSIDERABLY LESS HAPPY THAN HE DID LAST TIME WE SAW HIM. THE REST OF THE STAFF MEMBERS ARE SURPRISED THAT NOTHING WORKED

DREW

I don't beleive this

The girl killed a demon

which took a swat team to bring in

and Angel dealt with the Doyle

in minutes

W&H SUIT

Don't worry too much about it sir

DREW

(ANGRILY) But I do!!

That imposter told Angel

almost everything about the plan

Looks like I'll be paying the

Hyperion a visit soon

W&H SUIT

But they still haven't unenchanted

the house yet sir, maybe you

should wait and see what happens

DREW

Yes, you're right I should wait

W&H SUIT

Thank you sir

DREW

Don't mention it

If we had more level headed

people like you working here

the firm would be better for it

Lets throw the vampire stoppers

at him see how he likes that

CUT TO

INT. HYPERION HOTEL

WESLEY AND GUNN ARE STILL SITTING ON THE DESK AND ARE WONDERING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD GET OFF IT

GUNN

Cmon Wes nothing

has happened here for ages

WESLEY

We should still wait

for Angel to get back with

some information

GUNN

Uhh Wes, the office is

a ten second walk and he

hasn't emerged from there for at

least twenty minutes

What if he ran into some trouble

WESLEY

The fact of the matter is

that the floor is still a deathtrap

and we don't know if it is deactivated

or waiting to kill us

GUNN

Well I know one way to

test that theory

WESLEY

Gunn!!

GUNN

What? Cordelia is missing

and so is Angel

if we have to be the ones

who solve this we cant stay here

WESLEY

(BEAT) You're right, we need

some way to get out of here

GUNN

Yo, we could swing across

WESLEY

Swing?

GUNN

Yeah swing, you know

Indianna Jones over to the office

We got some rope here

We just throw it on something, grab

hold and get to the office. No floor

touching needed.

WESLEY

OK that sounds like a plan

GUNN REACHES TO THE DESK DRAW AND GETS SOME ROPE OUT

GUNN

Now we just gotta go

for the old lasso

HE THROWS THE ROPE AT A LIGHT AND IT FALLS ON PERFECTLY. THEY EXCHANGE GRINS AT A JOB WELL DONE BUT THEN THE ROPE FALLS OFF THE LIGHTS

WESLEY

Nothing to attach it to...

GUNN

No matter, we just try again

THEY START PULLING THE ROPE IN WHEN ANGEL COMES OUT OF THE OFFICE. HE LOOKS AT GUNN AND WESLEY LIKE THEY ARE STRANGE.

ANGEL

What are you guys doing

WESLEY

We were about to rescue you!!

ANGEL

Why??

GUNN

You been gone like twenty

minutes man, we thought

they put some mojo on you

ANGEL

So... why the rope

WESLEY

We were going to swing into

the office

ANGEL

Swing?

WESLEY

We didn't know if the floor

was still a deathtrap

GUNN

About the whole deathtrap

thing, you found anything?

ANGEL

Yeah. In the office I ran

into an asscociate of Wolfram

and Hart who told me the place

was under a spell

GUNN

Well I think we all already

guessed that, you find anything

useful in there?

ANGEL

The guy told me to go to

the source if we wanted it

stopped, so I looked up a few

books about enchantments

WESLEY

Anything??

ANGEL

A few things.. could

be the mark of Kriro

GUNN

But I'm guessing it could be

a whole lotta things

ANGEL

Right, but all of them seem

to relate to the fact that

the power is controlled by an

underforce, the depths of hell

WESLEY

So...

ANGEL

Its gotta be at the bottom

of the hotel right?

GUNN

(CONFUSED) Really, why?

ANGEL

Because the closer

to the underworld it gets

the more power is harnessed

WESLEY

So you think we need to go

to the basement

ANGEL

Further.. they probably made

some kind of portal down there

WESLEY

Which may be where Cordy

was taken..

ANGEL

Exactly..

GUNN

But thats only if this is

an enchantment, I mean most

of its based on a hunch, what if

it was just some home alone style

booby traps?

ANGEL

Well then we go somewhere else

WESLEY

(TO GUNN)

Its the only lead we have

GUNN

Anything that gets me off

this desk man..

WESLEY

What about the floor

ANGEL

A risk we have to take

THE THREE WALK OFF TO THE BASEMENT DOOR.

THE CAMERA STAYS ON THE LOOBY AREA AND SCANS AROUND TO A WALL.

FROM THE WALL A DOOR APPEARS AND THROUGH IT COMES CORDELIA

SHE QUICKLY TIPTOES HER WAY TO THE DESK AS SHE ISNT SURE IF THE SWORDS ARE STILL GOING TO BE THERE. SHE LEAPS UP ON THE DESK.

CORDELIA

No swords huh?

But no Angel either

...

(CALLING) ANGEL!!!

WESLEY!!! GUNN!!!

(SIGHS) This just gets better

and better doesn't it

LOOKING AROUND SHE NOTICES A SMALL TRAIL OF BLOOD THAT CAME FROM WESLEYS LEG THAT LEADS TO THE BASEMENT.

CORDELIA

The basement?

Wes that better be your

blood because if I follow it

into mortal peril I swear I'm

soo gonna haunt you.

SHE TIPTOES TO THE BASEMENT

CUT TO

INT. THE BASEMENT

ANGEL WESLEY AND GUNN ARE LOOKING AROUND

GUNN

No tickets to the underworld

around here

WESLEY

Nope, I've got nothing

ANGEL

There has to be a way

GUNN

I'm just saying I'm not sure

its down here

ANGEL

Just keep looking

FOOTSTEPS ARE HEARD AND THE GANG STOPS LOOKING AND ALL INTENTLY LOOK AT THE STARIS

WESLEY

Somethings coming

ANGEL

Hand me a sword

WESLEY GIVES ANGEL THE SWORD

ANGEL

Stand back

THEY ALL BLEND INTO A DARK SPOT AND THE FOOTSTEPS GET LOUDER

ANGEL

Here goes

HE RUSHES OUT WITH THE SWORD AND SEES CORDELIA WHO SCREAMS

ANGEL

Cordelia!!

CORDELIA

What the hell are

you doing, point that

somewhere else

ANGEL

How do I know its really

you?

CORDELIA

What is wrong with you

jeez maybe you should

take some valium

ANGEL

Cordy?

CORDELIA

(DOESN"T KNOW WHAT ANGEL IS TALKING ABOUT)

Yeah?

ANGEL

Oh thank god

HE HUGS HER AND SHE ISNT TOO SURE WHY HE IS SO HAPPY

WESLEY AND GUNN EMERGE AND SAY HELLO

CORDELIA

(TO WESLEY AND GUNN)

What is his deal

WESLEY

We've all had some

well.. experiences

CORDELIA

Tell me about it

I went through some strrange

door and...

SHE SUDDENLY REMEBERS THE VISION SHE HAD OF GUNN AND LLOKS RELIEVED TO SEE HE IS OKAY

CORDELIA

Gunn!! YOur alright

GUNN

Yeah I handle myself

CORDELIA

You stopped the business man

with the sword?

GUNN

I what?

ANGEL

You had a vision

CORDELIA

Many..

ANGEL

But you're OK right?

GUNN

Whoa whoa hold up,

Business man with a sword

what does this have to do

with my well being

ANGEL

what did you see

CORDELIA

A wolfram and Hart meeting

Some guy, snappy dresser

walked in and cracked some guys

neck... then I saw him here and

.. thank god your still alright

ANGEL

I'm betting this is the guy

behind the happy fun time

we've been having, do you know

anything about that?

CORDELIA

All I know is that hand took me

to parts of the hotel I didn't know

even existed, doors everywhere

WESLEY

Portals...

ANGEL

Cordy, did you see

anything, any marks?

CORDELIA

Didn't really look, I was

too busy running to find you guys

ANGEL

How do these doors work

CORDELIA

They just appeared

GUNN

Hello, wrong questions

being asked here.. she saw

me in danger

ANGEL

But you aren't now

and you won't be.. We'll end this

We just gotta find a door

WESLEY

(POINTING) Like that one??

A DOOR THAT WASN"T THERE BEFORE HAS APPEARED

ANGEL GOES TO IT BUT WESLEY STOPS HIM

WESLEY

Angel, why would they

just provide us with a door

ANGEL

I dunno Wes, common

courtesy?

WESLEY

They want you to walk

through it..

ANGEL

Well why displease them?

WESLEY

But there could be lethal

things beyond

ANGEL

We need to follow what

we've got

CORDELIA

He's right Wesley, how can

we stop it if we don't see whats there

ANGEL

Your concern is appreciated

but I need to go through

GUNN

You mean we need to go through

ANGEL

No I don't

I dont want to risk your lives

GUNN

I'm pretty sure being in an

enchanted hotel does that

anyway

ANGEL

She saw you getting hurt

WESLEY

Angel...

CORDELIA

We have to go as a team

what if you get hurt

ANGEL

What if you guys get hurt

GUNN

Well at least there are three

more people to finish the job

ANGEL

Fine...

THEY WALK THROUGH THE DOOR

FADE OUT.
