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.
