PART THREE
Wolfram & Hart, Science Lab – Night
Fred sits at the table where the demon laid earlier. She leans forward with her chin in her hand. She looks as if she has something big on her mind.
KNOX: (O.S.) Penny for your thoughts?
Fred looks up and sees Knox leaning on the frame of the door. He has a half smile on his face.
FRED: Knox, hey! I thought you'd already gone home.
KNOX: I was on my way out. I just wanted to check in on you.
FRED: Thank you, but I'm fine. You should go home.
KNOX: I would go home, but that look on your face tells me that you're not fine at all.
FRED: Sometimes I just wonder if coming to Wolfram & Hart was the right decision.
KNOX: I think it was the right thing to do. You've helped so many people since you guys have come here.
FRED: I'm not so sure about that.
KNOX: But you have.
Fred gets up from her seat and walks across the room.
FRED: Even if...we're all changing...slowly.
KNOX: So Gunn sent us the wrong demon? It could happen to anyone.
FRED: It's not about the demon he sent, it's... (pause) ...and it's not just Gunn. It's all of us.
KNOX: Well, you're in a new place. When you move to a new place, you change. It's expected. Adaptation is what it's called.
FRED: I don't see why we should have to adapt to Wolfram & Hart. Wolfram & Hart should be adapting to us.
Knox walks over to Fred.
KNOX: Well, a small part of Wolfram & Hart has adapted to you.
Fred looks up at him. They lock eyes.
FRED: Knox, I can't.
KNOX: Why not?
FRED: It's just...Wes.
KNOX: I should have known.
FRED: Wesley!
Knox turns and sees Wesley standing at the door. Wesley says nothing.
FRED: (cont'd) Wesley, what is it?
WESLEY: It's nothing. I'll just leave you two alone.
FRED: Wesley!
Wesley turns and walks out of the lab. Fred looks at Knox. He just shrugs; a smile forming on his face.
Private Jet – Passenger Area – Night
Harmony shifts around in her seat, anxiously. She looks down at her watch and sighs loudly. She gets out of her seat.
Private Jet – Cockpit – Night
Harmony sticks her head through the curtain and looks at the pilot.
HARMONY: Why aren't we moving?
PILOT: I'm sorry, Miss Kendall, but I can't seem to get the door open.
HARMONY: What door?
PILOT: The door that leads to the runway.
HARMONY: Can't you, like, just crash through it?
PILOT: I don't think that would be a great idea.
HARMONY: And why not?
He points towards the window. Harmony looks out and sees Spike and Angel standing next to each other. Angel smiles and waves at Harmony, while Spike holds his head.
HARMONY: (cont'd) It's just so unfair.
Wolfram & Hart, Doctor's Office – Night
Gunn walks into the office and sees Dr. Sparrow packing up some things, ready to go home.
GUNN: We need to talk.
DR. SPARROW: About?
GUNN: What did you make me sign?
DR. SPARROW: I didn't make you sign anything. You authorized it on your own.
GUNN: You know damned well that I was blackmailed.
DR. SPARROW: It was your decision, Charles. It was you who didn't want to go back to being who you used to be. No one made you do anything that you didn't want to do.
GUNN: You don't know what I used to be back then.
DR. SPARROW: Don't I?
Gunn just looks at him, not responding. Gunn knows the doctor knows.
DR. SPARROW: (cont'd) I know all about your past, Mr. Gunn. Why do you think we chose you?
Gunn remains silent, letting it all sink in.
DR. SPARROW: (cont'd) You felt sorry for yourself and decided that a little power would make you feel better.
He moves in closer to Gunn, his voice becoming quieter.
DR. SPARROW: (cont'd) So, how do you feel now? Is it what you expected it to be?
Gunn continues to remain silence. As he listens to Dr. Sparrow talk, his anger builds.
DR. SPARROW: (cont'd) Your silence answers my questions.
He grabs his bag and begins to head out of the door.
GUNN: Wait!
Dr. Sparrow stops, then turns, looking at Gunn.
GUNN: (cont'd) Is there any way I can reverse this?
Dr. Sparrow laughs. He takes a step towards Gunn.
DR. SPARROW: What's done has been done. There is no reversing the process now.
GUNN: There's always a way.
DR. SPARROW: The damage has been done. What's coming is no one's fault but yours. You're going to have to live with what you've done.
GUNN: What's coming? You at least have to tell me that much.
DR. SPARROW: I'm not obligated to tell you anything, Mr. Gunn. You of all people should know that.
He walks out of the office, leaving Gunn standing there -- alone.
Wolfram & Hart, Wesley's Office – Night
Wesley stands in his office, staring out of the window.
WESLEY: It took you long enough to get here.
A Wolfram & Hart employee stands at the door, holding a folder.
EMPLOYEE: I'm sorry, but it took me a while to get what you asked.
Wesley turns around and faces the employee.
EMPLOYEE: (cont'd) It was dangerous. The wizard I consulted didn't like being bothered.
Wesley holds out his hand, and the employee hands him the folder.
WESLEY: So this is everything?
EMPLOYEE: Yes, but the wizard said that you should've already had this information. He gave it to you a few years ago.
Wesley looks up at the employee for a short moment. He then walks to his desk and places the file on it.
WESLEY: I guess I must've misplaced it during the move here.
EMPLOYEE :If you don't mind me asking, sir...
Wesley looks at him.
EMPLOYEE: (cont'd) Why is this so important to you?
WESLEY: For some reason, my memory was wiped clean.
EMPLOYEE: Oh, wow! I had no idea.
WESLEY: I have to know why, and what part I played in this prophecy.(beat) Tell anyone what I'm doing, and I swear I will kill you.
EMPLOYEE: Oh, no, Mr. Wyndham-Pryce. This won't leave this office.
WESLEY: Good!
Wesley takes a seat at his desk.
WESLEY: (cont'd) Now leave!
EMPLOYEE: Okay.
Wesley watches as the employee leaves and Fred enters the office.
FRED: Wesley, what's going on?
Wesley realizes that he's just been busted.
Private Airport – Night
Angel pulls Harmony from the plane.
ANGEL: What the hell did you think you were doing?
HARMONY: Trying to get away from it all?
SPIKE: She was trying to kill the pilot. I tried to grab her, but um...I must've slipped and...hit my head.
Angel gives Spike a skeptical look and focuses his attention to Harmony.
ANGEL: I get a call from the pilot saying you were trying to go Africa.
The pilot steps out of the plane. Harmony looks at him.
HARMONY: Hey, you called Angel behind my back. How could you? All I did was threaten your life a little.
The pilot is too scared to say anything.
ANGEL: Why were you in such a hurry to get to Africa anyway?
HARMONY: I've never been, and I heard it was a beautiful place.
SPIKE: What part of Africa were you going to?
HARMONY: Um...the middle?
SPIKE: Harmony, you ditz. You had no clue what part it was located in.
ANGEL: What are you talking about, Spike?
HARMONY: I would have found out...eventually.
SPIKE: And how were you hoping to do that?
HARMONY: I was just going to ask around.
ANGEL: What are you two talking about?
SPIKE: You don't even know the name of the demon.
ANGEL: What demon?
HARMONY: I would have found him. I'm a secretary, remember, I always find things.
ANGEL: (screaming) What the hell are you two talking about?
HARMONY: Oh, well, I wanted to go to Africa to get my soul.
ANGEL: What?
HARMONY: I'll have to try again another time.
ANGEL: No!
HARMONY: Why not?
ANGEL: The world can barely contain two vampires with souls. Just think of what three will do.
HARMONY: Duh! You didn't think I thought of that. The almost destruction of the world didn't happen until Spike became champion. I'm not trying to be champion, just be good.
ANGEL: You're just going to have to find another way. I'm sorry.
HARMONY: There is no other way.
SPIKE: There are always other ways.
HARMONY: Not this time.
She vamps out, grabs Angel, and throws him about thirty feet.
Spike rushes Harmony, but she LEAPS over him, landing behind him. She turns around and kicks him, sending him crashing into the airplane. He falls to the ground.
HARMONY: I'm not the same girl who had the hand slapping fight with Xander. I've learned a few things over the years.
Spike vamps out and gets up.
SPIKE: I'm guessing you're going to have to relearn to get your ass kicked.
He punches her in the nose. She falls to the ground, then gets up.
HARMONY
Spikey pooh, that hurt.
She swings at Spike, but he catches her arm and counters with a fist to her face. She falls to the ground again. Angel comes back over. Spike approaches Harmony. She kicks him, sending him flying into Angel. They both fall to the floor.
The pilot watches what is going on from afar. Both Angel and Spike get up.
ANGEL: So this is the way you want it?
He vamps out.
ANGEL: (cont'd) I can play along.
Angel attacks. Harmony blocks all of his punches. He is stronger though and as she blocks she is being pushed back.
Spike stands behind her. She notices this. Angel swings again. She flips out of the way. Angel hits Spike hard. He falls to the floor; his face bloody.
ANGEL: (cont'd) Sorry!
Harmony kicks Angel in the back of the head. He goes down. She turns him around and straddles him. She punches him.
HARMONY: You can't stop me –-
She punches him again.
HARMONY: (cont'd) -- from getting my soul.
She punches him again.
HARMONY: (cont'd) I deserve to have a soul.
She continues punching him over and over.
