ACT I
Open on Lilah walking down a corridor, purposefully. She walks for several seconds and then opens a door. She has now entered a well-furnished room, with antiques placed around. A man in his 60s and a woman in her 20s are stood in the room next to a desk, and appear to have just been talking. They turn to Lilah as she enters.
Lilah: Mr Suvarta. Ms Alidris.
She nods at each of them in turn.
Suvarta: Good morning Lilah.
Lilah: It certainly is sir.
Alidris: What have you to tell us?
Lilah: Hamilton's factions have been forced into a stalemate by The Powers That Be. Their plans to take over The Powers' domains have been thwarted.
Alidris: For how long?
Lilah: That all depends on whether Mr Avryx is willing to sacrifice a large proportion of his own forces to try and advance. We're assuming he isn't that stupid.
Suvarta: Avryx is wiser than most, Lilah. You should be careful what you say about him.
Lilah hesitates.
Lilah: I apologise sir.
Alidris: Is there other news we should be aware of?
Lilah: Uh, yes ma'am. Angel, Buffy Summers and others have managed to gain a foothold concerning the revelation of the demon world-
Alidris: We're aware of this.
Lilah: Yes ma'am, but what you may not be aware of is that the American government plans on targeting Illyria.
Alidris looks at Suvarta.
Lilah: Considering our plans concerning her, I thought it would be wise to-
Suvarta: Yes, of course Lilah, thank you. However Illyria is no longer our priority.
Lilah looks a little confused.
Lilah: Uh, if I'm not mistaken sir, I thought the plan was to utilise Illyria's power as a pure demon to counter those that have joined Mr Avryx's ranks?
Suvarta: Yes. And that has not changed.
Lilah looks confused still as Suvarta turns to a shadowed area of the room. As Lilah is about to speak again, a figure walks out from the shadows. Lilah looks surprised but after a few seconds smiles.
Lilah: I see. I think that?certainly solves the problem.
Suvarta: Yes.
Lilah smiles again.
Lilah: Well uh, if that's all, I have to get back.
Lilah is about to turn to leave.
Alidris: Lilah, we have all been talking. We have decided your services are wasted in the hours you spend in the hell dimensions.
Lilah looks confused.
Lilah: Ma'am?
Suvarta: In other words, Lilah, we feel that it's not necessarily for you to continue your sentence in hell?you will become a Child of the Senior Partners.
Lilah looks amazed.
Suvarta: As you're aware they are currently in short supply due to certain?defections. Therefore this decision is indefinite for the time being.
Lilah: I?well, thank you, thank you very much.
Alidris: We would not grant you this consideration if you had not earned it Lilah. You may go.
Lilah smiles, still amazed, and walks out smiling widely to herself. Suvarta and Alidris watch her go.
Suvarta: Ah, young ones. Watching such evil grow is?exhilarating.
He turns to the corner of the room.
Suvarta: Don't you agree?
Alidris also turns as the camera moves over. Invidia is stood in the corner. She looks from Suvarta to Alidris and smiles.
Invidia: Oh yes.

Open on a man clasping his hands together and smiling in a half-hearted way in a small courtroom.
Man: Maybe we should return to the main issue at hand.
Illyria and Gunn are sat opposite him. Another man (the judge) is sat at the end of the table. Gunn frowns.
Gunn: Uh, I think we are discussing the main issue. You're claiming that my client is capable of murdering innocents.
Man: Yes, but you have killed humans before isn't that right Illyria?
Illyria looks at him.
Illyria: I have killed many in my time.
The man nods.
Gunn: But not so much recently.
Illyria: Indeed.
Man: Except of course, Winnifred Burkle. That incident was less than a year ago.
Illyria hesitates. Gunn glances at her uncertainly. The men both fix her with an inquisitive gaze.
Illyria: The host body I claimed was irrelevant.
Man: But it would still have been a human wouldn't it?
Illyria cocks her head at him.
Illyria: You value human life over demons.
The man laughs slightly in the direction of the judge.
Man: Well you'll allow me to be a little biased.
Illyria: Perhaps you will also me this bias also?
The man's smile fades. Gunn looks impressed.
Judge: I think I've heard enough for now. We'll take a break for lunch.
He stands up, as do Gunn, the man and Illyria. Gunn and the man bow slightly to the judge. Illyria looks puzzled. The man glares at Gunn before leaving.
Cut to Illyria and Gunn walking down a busy corridor in the courthouse. Some people stare at Illyria as she walks past. Illyria watches them as Gunn begins to talk.
Gunn: You did good.
Illyria looks at him.
Illyria: I simply used his hypocrisy against him.
Gunn: Yeah, well, I just hope it's enough.
Illyria: Enough?
Gunn: Like I told you?some people'd really like to see you not be around.
Illyria: There are many in this world that pose a greater threat than I. Most are human.
Illyria and Gunn stop in the corridor. Illyria turns to see a man shouting loudly at his lawyer at the end of the corridor. He throws some papers on the ground in anger. Illyria turns to Gunn.
Illyria: But I am a danger because I am a demon.
Gunn hesitates.
Gunn: To some people.
Illyria: Your justice system has many flaws.
Gunn smiles.
Gunn: Ain't that the truth.
A family of demons enters the hallway looking around. Gunn notices.
Gunn: Listen my next case just arrived so I gotta go.
Illyria turns to look at the demon family.
Illyria: They are Sokranis demons; herbivores. They are not a threat to this world.
Gunn: Yeah, that's what I gotta convince people of. See ya back at the hotel.
He smiles and walks away towards the family. Illyria watches him and then walks away herself.
Cut to Seneh stood with her arms folded in The Hyperion lobby next to the counter. Connor and Fred are stood nearby looking awkward. Spike is stood nearby also and Angel is stood facing Seneh. Fred looks at Seneh.
Fred: Why'd you leave?
Seneh unfolds her arms and looks awkward.
Seneh: Why'd you think? Doing their dirty work wasn't exactly my life ambition.
Angel: So you made a career move.
Seneh: Right.
She smiles ironically.
Seneh: Turns out? Everybody's corrupt!
Spike: Including you?
Seneh looks serious.
Seneh: Ok, you all have every reason to be angry at me or whatever. But what I want is for the right side to win for once.
Fred: Right side?
Seneh: That would you. Believe me, I've seen from both sides of the field. The Senior Partners are all just interested in winning, their little feuds aren't important. The Powers That Be just want things to balance out right.
Angel frowns.
Seneh: You fight for them Angel but they don't really care. Except Jasmine but?yeah.
Connor looks serious.
Seneh: They're hypocrites. You intervene when things suit them. They told me if I did they'd kill me.
Angel: So why aren't you dead?
Seneh pauses.
Seneh: I made a temporary agreement. With-
Spike: That Senior Partner right?
Seneh pauses.
Spike: I don't need truth visions to tell that much.
Seneh: Yeah, go team you.
Spike looks annoyed.
Seneh: I did what I had to do. But you guys?I've helped you because I knew it was the right thing to do.
Fred: Why didn't you just come clean at the beginning?
Seneh: Right, cause you'd all be so welcoming. I know you guys hate Wolfram and Hart as much as I do. Maybe even more.
Seneh stares at Angel.
Angel: I can't trust you.
Seneh: Uh, hello, I helped you. All of you.
She looks around at the others and then at Angel again.
Seneh: I put my goddamn life on the line to save your son. You trust Illyria and she's technically a hell of a lot worse than me.
Angel pauses. Connor looks at him.
Connor: She's right, dad.
Fred: She could have left us.
Seneh looks glad to have their support and looks at Angel. Spike looks between them.
Spike: Guess you don't exactly fit anywhere do you?
Seneh: Excuse me?
Spike: You've had a little taste of everything. Nowhere for you to feel like you belong. That's why you come to us. Cause we're all in the same boat.
Seneh pauses.
Seneh: Well I'm definitely here cause I want to be?not cause I have to be. So yeah, maybe I do like the fact that I'm not expected to fulfil this idealised image of good or evil here. People living, being happy?that's what I'm interested in. So just pass me a shade of grey if that's what we are.
Angel pauses and then walks towards Seneh.
Angel: Can you give us information still?
Seneh: I can tell you what I already know. Which is enough.
There is another pause.
Seneh: I'm not gonna betray you. Why would I?
Spike: Maybe if you got offered something better in return?
Seneh: Like a raise? Yeah cause that's what this is about.
Seneh gives him an irritated look. Spike remains silent. Seneh looks around.
Seneh: You want info? Fine, here's a the tabloid exclusive: remember the demon you fought a while back? The distraction?
Connor looks serious.
Fred: How could we forget?
Seneh: Right?well, he wasn't the only one. There are more.
The others look concerned.
Angel: From where?
Seneh hesitates.
Seneh: The Deeper Well. Where else?
Angel stares seriously at her and then his gaze drops to the floor.
Cut to Illyria walking down the street near The Hyperion. People give her strange looks as they walk past. Illyria glances from side to side, curiously examining the people around her. A car pulls up nearby and two young men get out.
Man #1: Oh my God, dude look, it's that demon chick from TV!
The men walk up to Illyria who turns to look at them.
Man #2: Man you're right!
Illyria cocks her head as the two of them look up and down.
Illyria: My appearance is pleasing to your eyes.
Man #1: Well yeah! Wow you are?a picture of you topless would be like?totally sought after on E-bay.
Illyria: E-bay?
Man #2: Dude she doesn't know about that stuff, she's a freakin' demon.
Man #1: Yeah but she's famous!
Others seem to be gathering around Illyria. She glances around.
Illyria: Fame equates to desire in this world.
Man #1: Well it equates to hotness in your case yeah!
Man #2: Ok, man that's not cool.
Man #1: You don't think she's hot?
Man #2: Yeah but?demon!
Illyria: You lust only after human beauty?
Man #2: Well no offence but?yeah.
Voice OS: Hey it's a demon!
A surge of people join those already on the scene. They look angry.
Woman #1: Stay away from her!
Man #2: Uh, we're ok.
Man #3: She's a murdering demon just like all the rest.
Illyria stares at him.
Illyria: Your generalisations are inaccurate.
Man #3: Oh yeah? I read about you! That isn't your body! You murdered the woman who it belongs to!
He looks at the rest of the crowd.
Man #3: They'll try and take us too! But we won't let them.
Man #2: You don't seem to know what you're talking about dude-
As he puts his hand on the man's shoulder the man punches him to the ground. The first man looks worried but does nothing.
Man #3: You're just as dangerous as they are.
Illyria grabs him by the neck.
Illyria: Incorrect.
Illyria throws him across the street. Some of the crowd rush over to him as he lies in the road spluttering. The woman from before looks at Illyria with pure hated on her face.
Man #1: Whoa?extreme.
Woman #3: You shouldn't be allowed to live!
A loud bang can be heard nearby. Everyone turns. A hand suddenly grabs Illyria's arm and drags her aside. Illyria looks angry but then sees it is Gwen.
Gwen: Come on!
Illyria hesitates but then follows Gwen who is joined shortly by Tap as the angry crowd follows.
Cut to Tap, Gwen and Illyria walking into the front courtyard of The Hyperion. Gwen stops.
Gwen: What the hell were you doing?
Illyria: My destination was here.
Tap: So you walk out in the open?
Illyria: The world is aware of my existence.
Gwen: That doesn't mean you should show that you're a demon in public.
Illyria: Because you choose to conceal your own power?
Gwen looks a little wounded by Illyria's remark.
Tap: No it's cause there are a lot people, like you just saw, that want you dead.
Illyria: I am aware of the situation.
Tap: Well good, then just try and keep a lower profile from now on. You can not be blue right?
Illyria: I can?modify my appearance to appear human.
Tap: Right.
There is a small pause. Gwen sighs.
Gwen: Let's just go inside.
Gwen heads inside. Tap follows and Illyria does also, after a moment.
Angel and co. turn see Gwen, Tap and Illyria enter.
Gwen: Hey-
She notices Seneh.
Gwen: Oh.
Seneh: Hey to you too Gwen.
Gwen hesitates. Angel looks at them.
Angel: Uh, while you were gone Seneh gave us some information.
Tap: Legit?
Seneh: Of course.
Tap: Well you know recent events might make someone a little suspicious.
Seneh: Ok, let's not do this again right now. The news they've all just heard is that The Deeper Well is open thanks to Wolfram and Hart.
Gwen and Tap look surprised. Illyria cocks her head, her own look of surprise emerging.
Gwen: Lilah never told us about that.
Spike: Her lot are the ones that opened it.
Gwen looks confused.
Angel: The other side are only using the Old Ones they can get their hands on.
Seneh: Lilah's guys have got the main menu. And I think Illyria might know a few of ?em.
Seneh looks at Illyria, as do the others.
Illyria: I have known many demons in ancient times.
Seneh: How about Invidia? Word has it that that meeting wasn't so ancient.
Illyria hesitates. The others look puzzled.
