ACT I
Open on Angel and Hamilton stood facing each other. Time is still frozen around them.
Hamilton: Well done Angel. You've made the right choice.
Angel continues staring seriously at Hamilton.
Hamilton: I'd tell you that you won't regret it?but you probably will.
Angel: Are we finished?
Hamilton: I suppose we are, yes.
Angel: Good. Then start time again and get the hell out of here.
Hamilton: Oh Angel I'm hurt. No thank you?
Angel remains silent.
Hamilton: I suppose it was too much to ask. But let me tell you one thing: the next time you need a deux ex machina, admittedly, a slightly twisted version, don't look in our direction. Because we're through making deals with the likes of you.
Angel: Don't worry I've had just about enough of them myself.
Hamilton: Good. I'll start time again in just a moment. But first, I suppose we do owe you a little something.
Angel: What?
Hamilton: It's a long way back to the hotel from here. We thought we'd give you a little shortcut.
Angel: No thanks.
Hamilton: Oh I think you'll want to see this now.
Hamilton clicks his fingers. There is a flash of light. Angel blinks. He opens his eyes and finds himself in the Hyperion lobby facing Spike, Gwen and Gunn. Angel looks a little annoyed until he sees the gang.
Angel: Oh you guys got here. Glad to see you're?
He frowns as he sees them all staring past him. He turns around. Fred is standing looking shocked. Angel looks shocked.
Angel: ?alive.
Fred backs away and looks uncertain.
Gunn: Angel.
Angel: What?what is this?
Gunn: We dunno she just appeared. We could?
Angel walks towards her slightly.
Angel: Fred?
Fred looks scared.
Fred: No. It?you can't be hi-
The portal suddenly blasts energy downwards hitting Fred. She is blasted backwards into the wall. Everyone looks shocked as she falls down unconscious. Angel rushes over to her. The others follow but look uncertain.
Gunn: Not don't let her be?
Spike: Is?is she-
Angel exhales.
Angel: She's alive.
Cut to Illyria looking down from the balcony. She turns around to face away from them. She frowns to herself and walks away.

Open on Angel laying Fred down on the bed in her old room. She is still unconscious. The others stare at her. Gwen breaks the silence.
Gwen: Ok?so?what?
Spike: Took the words right out of my mouth.
Angel: How did she get here?
Gunn: All we know is that she came through a portal.
Angel: What? That's impossible I-
Spike: Yeah we know. Made your little deal with Hamilton.
Angel looks at Spike and looks confused.
Angel: How could you-
Gunn: Got front seats at the main event. Saw everything. You, Hamilton. Your son.
Gun stares at Angel seriously. Angel turns away looking disbelieving.
Angel: I?
Spike: Look, Angel you can explain or whatever later, we've got slightly more urgent matters if you hadn't noticed.
Gunn: You're right. But you think maybe this is what Hamilton was talking about? Someone else paying later?
Angel glares at Gunn.
Gwen: Wait, a minute. Ok this is Fred, or something that looks like Fred. But she's dead. I mean she's Illyria now. So who the hell's this?
Angel: It's her.
Gunn: How do you-
Spike: He can smell it. I can too.
Gunn: But it can't be.
Gwen: She came through the portal.
Spike: Yes, we were there.
Gwen: Everything and everyone who's come through the portals so far has been-
Angel: Someone we knew.
Spike: Hardly, they're from different dimensions?
Spike suddenly realises. He looks at Angel. Everyone looks at Fred.
Gunn: You mean it's not her.
Angel: No it is. It's Fred. Just?not the Fred we know.
Spike: So what the hell does that mean?
Angel: Look I don't know, ok? We're gonna have to wait until she wakes up.
Gwen: If she wakes up.
Angel: She will.
Gwen: Hey I'm just saying she's lucky she didn't get fried when that thing hit her. Everyone else did.
Gunn: Except you.
Gwen: Yeah well she's not electrically charged in any way. Unless she is in whatever dimension she came from.
Angel: I carried up here without a problem. From what I can tell?she's the same as the Fred we know.
Spike: On the outside, maybe. But we don't know what she's seen, what's she's done, any of it. And hell we don't even know that that is Fred from another dimension. That portal appeared after Angel sealed the deal with Hamilton.
Gunn: You think this is someone in disguise or something?
Spike: You'd be surprised how effective they can be.
Gwen: Spike could be right Gunn. I'm sorry I-
Gunn: We don't know anything yet-
Spike: Well some of us seem to have decided already.
Gunn: Yeah, you.
Spike: The point is you just think it's her because you want it to be.
Gunn: And you don't?
Angel: Look just shut up!
Gunn and Spike glare at each other.
Angel: All I know, is that there's a girl lying on that bed who looks like her. The girl we all lost. And yeah, I'd like for it to really be Fred more than anything. Maybe she can't be everything Fred was.
Angel looks at Fred. The others look at grave.
Angel: But she might able to fill the space.
Spike: What about Illyria? Wasn't so long ago she was doing just that.
Angel: Where is she?
Cut to Illyria next to the door listening.
Gwen OS: She went to think about things. About the decision you made, actually. Do you we should tell her about?about Fred?
Illyria frowns. Cut back to the others.
Angel: No. No she wouldn't see it as a good thing. She'd think we'd abandon her or something now that?
He looks at Fred.
Angel: Now that this has happened.
Spike: All right.
Illyria cocks her head. She walks away.
Spike: But can you blame her? We haven't exactly given her much reason to think we want her around.
Angel: I don't need this right now.
Spike: Angel, Illyria isn't just a substitute you can take and throw away as you please. You may not have noticed but she's becoming more human every day, she can be-
Angel: Be what? Like Fred? That's who you want her to be Spike, admit it.
Spike pauses.
Spike: She's got more of the Fred I knew than the girl lying there has.
Angel: We don't know that yet.
Spike: Fine. Then you can wait here and find out. But don't fool yourselves. Things aren't gonna be as easy as you want them to be.
He points at Fred.
Spike: She shouldn't be here. You know it.
Gunn: Maybe you shouldn't either. You died and were brought back. So was Buffy.
Spike: Yeah well there were consequences then and there's gonna be consequences now. It's only a matter of time.
Spike walks away.
Angel: Where are you going?
Spike: (without turning around) Dunno, don't care.
He walks out the room and down the corridor. The others look after him. Angel closes his eyes and sighs.
Gunn: You think he's right?
Angel: I dunno. Maybe. We'll have to wait and see.
Gwen: So what if she's something else? Do you think you can kill her?
Angel looks away.
Gwen: Thought as much.
Angel: Gwen, I-
Angel's mobile phone starts ringing. He walks over to the window and suddenly jumps as he walks into the sunlight. Gwen and Gunn look at him.
Angel: Not necro-filtered. Right. Gonna have to do something about that.
Angel answers the phone.
Angel: (to the phone) Hello? Hey! Yeah, I uh, I do. What is it?
Gunn and Gwen look on curiously.
Cut to Spike walking into the lobby. He hears Angel's phone ring in the distance. He turns round and frowns. The camera moves down slowly to show Illyria facing him a few feet away. Spike turns around and jumps slightly as he sees Illyria standing in front of him. Illyria cocks her head.
Illyria: Did I startle you?
Spike: (dismissively) No?of course not.
Illyria raises an eyebrow.
Spike: Where've you been anyway?
Illyria: Contemplating what will happen next.
Spike: Oh, right. Sorted it out?
Illyria: That all depends.
Spike: On what?
Illyria: Is she awake?
Spike looks shocked.
Illyria: Yes. And I have heard you discussing what will be done about it.
Spike: Oh, well?well I suppose that's good. Because you should know that I-
Illyria: Do not give a repetition for my benefit. I have heard enough to understand how you feel.
Spike: Ok?well let me explain-
Illyria: (raising her voice) Do not give me explanations of your actions! You think I cannot see?
Spike: See what?
Illyria walks towards Spike slightly.
Illyria: You toy with me now you believe I have become human enough to overlook it. You are wrong. I see it.
Spike: Illyria-
Illyria: I see the truth in your eyes. You do not value me. You value what I represent. You want me to be her.
Spike: Hey I understand you're not Fred I-
Illyria: You would sooner accept the human that resembles your friend than me.
Spike: That's not true.
Illyria: And now you try to fool me yet again. As deficient as these ears may be, I heard your views clearly. I was foolish to believe I could cooperate with such lower beings as you. You would choose a stranger over me. You would spare a stranger over me.
Spike: What? Look whatever you thought you heard, it was a mistake.
Illyria: Yes. My mistake.
Illyria suddenly punches Spike across the lobby. Spike hits the wall and looks up. She rolls across the floor as Illyria punches downwards.
Spike: What the hell are you doing?
Illyria: What I must.
Illyria swings a punch which Spike barely dodges.
Spike: I don't wanna hurt you.
Illyria swings another punch. Spike catches her fist and kicks her back. Illyria looks up at Spike.
Illyria: That does not mean you won't.
Spike frowns.
Spike: Hey that's my-
Illyria dives forward knocking Spike to the ground. She grabs his neck and squeezes. He clenches his teeth and rolls over on top of Illyria.
Spike: Look whatever end of the stick you've got it's the wrong one, so just stop-
Illyria reaches the side of her suit and suddenly jams a syringe into the side of Spike's neck. He gasps a little and then looks confused and sags a little. He looks at the syringe out of the corner of his eye and begins to sway gently.
Spike: Brown?
Spike falls to the side and lies unconscious. Illyria looks serious. She gets up and pulls the syringe out of Spike's neck. She crushes it in her hand.
Cut to her in the hotel basement with Spike who is still unconscious. She has tied his hand to a pipe. She stands up slowly. She looks up at the basement door.
Cut to Angel, Gunn and Gwen in Fred's room standing away from Fred.
Gunn: When?
Angel: Two weeks.
Gunn: That long?
Angel: Yeah they need to prepare stuff.
Gwen: This is good news right? You get to see Buffy again, and sort everything out.
Angel: Yeah?it's good.
Gwen: So how come you look like a kitten just died?
Angel: She uh, wants Spike to come too.
Gwen: Oh. I'm guessing you guys have history.
Gunn: Yeah it gets complicated at the part where Angel looses his soul after getting it on with Buffy.
Gwen's eyes widen.
Gwen: You can lose your soul!?
Angel: Yeah I'll?explain about that later.
Gwen still looks unconvinced.
Gunn: But you're still gonna go, right?
Angel: I dunno. I mean this whole Fred situation, Wolfram and Hart could be planning the apocalypse as we speak and I'm not sure if?
Gunn: If you can talk to her.
Angel: A lot's happened since we last met. She thinks I've gone over to the dark side because of Wolfram and Hart. I don't know if I can face her.
Gunn: Well she aint heard your side of the story. You gotta convince her you're still the guy she knew.
Angel: I don't think I am.
Gwen: Ok, I don't really know much about all this, but I know that you can't hide here forever hoping that she forgets. Because she won't. She wants you there as much as Spike, and I get why that might spell trouble but you have to go. For Faith if anything. Cause that's what this is really about.
Angel looks at Gwen. He nods. Gwen and Gunn smile.
Gunn: You never may this whole thing will have blown over by the time-
Fred suddenly starts shifting slightly in the background. Gunn, Gwen and Angel notice and rush over to her.
Angel: What the hell?
Gwen feels Fred's wrist.
Gwen: Her pulse is fine, I don't know.
Cut to Illyria's face peering through the gap between the door and the wall.
Angel: Fred?
The camera slowly zooms downwards on to Fred's face. Angel's voice becomes more distant as the camera gets closer.
Angel VO: Fred? Fred?
The camera suddenly speeds towards Fred's face. The screen fades to white suddenly. There is a quick flash to Illyria punching someone. Then there is a flash to electricity blasting forwards. Then there is a shot of Angel grabbing Fred around the neck. Cut back to Fred lying on her bed. She opens her eyes with a start.
