Falcon - 1x01 Flash
By Ben
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – DOWNTOWN CITY, NIGHT
The CAMERA passes by MANY buildings lit up in all there glamour at night.
The SPACE NEEDLE is SHOWN, only with the FIGURE of a MAN standing on top of it…
Falcon [voice over]: Seattle, Washington. Home of some of the most dullest things, home of some of the most dangerous things. I moved here from Charger City, California, and before that from Dansville, California. I stopped in L.A. to talk to an old friend, he said this is the place to head to.
SHOTS of PEOPLE walking the BUSY SIDEWALKS at night time.
Falcon [voice over]: See, I’m not your average guy. I’m not even a guy, really. Centuries ago, I was sired by a beautiful vampire named Mel. She was a real beautiful vampire. When she sired me, I became the undead, and like her, a vampire.
FLASHBACK SCENE of FALCON and MEL walking down a dark alley…
Falcon [voice over]: It wasn’t until I met my first Slayer that I would die…
OLD TIME FALCON explodes into dust…
Falcon [voice over]: Flash forward to the future…Dansville 2000. A monk sent by a Goddess named Becky (ironically, the Slayer’s girlfriend), merged my ashes with dinosaur bone, human flesh and blood. For some stupid reason the dinosaur in me, died – but I’m okay with that. I was brought back. Becky and I teamed up and took on Ben the Flooder Slayer, but he was to strong. Eventually I got caught by a friend of the Slayer’s…and they cursed me to have a soul…
FALCON’S FACE morphs from VAMPIRE to HUMAN…
Falcon [voice over]: …a conscience. But that’s okay. I’ve made my way through life. It was until recently that a higher being told me of a calling…which has brought me here…….
FALCON sits in a BAR, drinking away.
Falcon [voice over]: You guessed it…
FALCON looks at the camera, but gives the essence that he’s not really looking at the camera.
Falcon: I’m in freaking Dullsville USA.
FALCON’S head dropped fast and smacked the BAR.
Falcon: Ow!
FALCON brought his head back up and grabbed his forehead.
A BLONDE girl was being lured outside by a few guys…
Falcon: It’s always the blonde ones…
FALCON rolled out of his STOOL at the bar and followed the GUYS.
BACK ALLEY –
THE BLONDE GIRL starts running away, but runs right into….
A VAMPIRE.
Vampire 1: Now, now, now. Where are you off to so hastily?
Vampire 2: Let her run… I like ‘em when the blood is boiling.
Vampire 1: Sounds tasty…
FALCON stumbles out to the alley.
Falcon: Has anyone seen my goldfish?
THE TWO VAMPIRES looked at FALCON…
Falcon: Whoa…now that’s a serious skin disease.
Vampire 1: Kill him already!
TWO other VAMPIRES approached FALCON from the sides.
FALCON threw his ARMS down and TWO WOODEN STAKES popped out. HE raised his arms and the TWO VAMPIRES walked right into the STAKES, dusting themselves.
FALCON looked at the other TWO vampires.
VAMPIRE 2 started to run, but FALCON chucked a wooden stake which connected sending the vampire into a pile of dust.
VAMPIRE 1 looked at FALCON
Vampire 1: That’s not cool…you kill your own kind.
Falcon: You’re not my kind.
Vampire: Oh really? And what makes you so special?
FALCON grabbed the VAMPIRE by his neck.
FALCON: I’ve got a soul…
FALCON rammed the WOODEN STAKE through the VAMPIRE’S HEART. THE VAMPIRE exploded into dust….
FALCON looked at the BLONDE WOMAN.
Blonde: Oh thank you! Thank you so much!
SHE hugged him.
FALCON pulled her away.
Blonde: How can I repay you?
Falcon: Don’t ever come around here again…get your life in order.
FALCON turned around, his coat flapping as he walked away. He walked down a DARK ALLEY.
BLACK OUT TO OPENING CREDITS
LIGHTNING STRIKES as the ‘Danny Elfman-wannabe’ THEME starts.
The word ‘FALCON’ appears in front of the MOON.
ZOOM into the SPACE NEEDLE, showing FALCON on top.
FALCON rams a wooden stake through a VAMPIRE.
FALCON walks through an underground tunnel, changing into his DARK CLOTHES, throwing his OVERCOAT on slowly.
FALCON’S FACE morphs into VAMPIRE-MODE.
AS VAMPIRE-FALCON, FALCON busts through a WINDOW.
FALCON pulls a SWORD and engages in a SWORDFIGHT with a DEMON. FALCON threw his ARMS down and TWO WOODEN STAKES popped out. HE raised his arms and the TWO VAMPIRES walked right into the STAKES, dusting themselves. [Starring Labyrinth as Falcon] FALCON wrestles a FEMALE VAMPIRE to the ground.
A STORM CELLAR filled with DEMONS start fighting each other.
TOBY pulls a HAND CROSSBOW from his waist and fires a CROSSBOW BOLT at a VAMPIRE. THE VAMPIRE turns to dust. TOBY spins around in a CHAIR, behind him a WALL OF WEAPONS. [Colin Liddle as Toby Redwood] TOBY looks at a file-folder.
VADER’S FACE morph’s into VAMP-MODE and he GROWLS.

BLACK SCREEN
COMMERCIAL
QUICK FLASHES, with a lightning effect, showing THE SPACE NEEDLE, A BUNCH of TALL BUILDINGS and then finally, A DARK ALLEY.
FALCON continued walking the DARK ALLEY, looking around.
FALCON walked up the STEPS to a smaller building. This was not the nice part of town, everything looked very run down. Trash was blowing around and everything.
FALCON walks through a DOORWAY, revealing a very small office, perhaps it’s a small library. It’s still a bit messy.
He takes his coat off and hangs it on the COAT HANGER, continuing his walk through his building, reaching a set of stairs, leading downward. Falcon descended the stairs, and when he reached the bottom, he flipped the light switch.
A burst of LIGHT came through revealing FALCON’S LIVING QUARTERS of the building. It wasn’t rich and fancy but it was really cool. A living room, bedroom, kitchen and spare bedroom, what more could a vampire with a soul trying to make his way in the big city ask for?
FALCON walked over to his WEAPONS CABINET. He took the WOODEN STAKES from the fight earlier out. OPENING his WEAPONS CABINET we see that he has a few swords, daggers, a crossbow, some crossbow bolts, battle axes, and a picture…
FALCON places the WOODEN STAKES next to the picture and goes to close the door, but as the doors start to close we see the picture contains FALCON, BEN SUMMERS, RIVER SUMMERS and BECKY SUMMERS.
LIGHTNING FLASH across the SCREEN
SEWERS
The CAMERA flies around the SEWERS eventually finding a HUGH CHAMBER
INSIDE the CHAMBER, candles lit the room for light, and a FEW VAMPIRES walked around, along with a few MONKS.
A VAMPIRE carrying a JAR of DUST walked forward to a SACRIFICIAL AREA.
He POURED the DUST over blood, broken glass shards, and BONES. The OTHER VAMPIRES started to chant.
THE DUST started to circulate into a small TORNADO, circulating around the SACRIFICAL AREA.
A BODY FORMED…………………
A VAMPIRE appeared wrapping the COLD BODY in CLOTH.
Vampire: Welcome back, Master Glass…
SEATTLE PACIFIC UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
A WOMAN with BROWN HAIR walks around the campus. She has MESSENGER BAG around her shoulder, and the actual BAG at her rear. She has a beautiful body, and as she turns around the face matches the body.
Guy: Hey Amber!
AMBER turns around, seeing a few of her friends sitting, studying on CAMPUS.
Amber: Be right there!
AMBER reaches into her bag to pull out something, but as she goes to walk towards her friends – she hears SCREAMS.
AMBER looks around…
A SCALY DEMON runs around CAMPUS and runs right up to AMBER, knocking her out…
THE DEMON starts to attack her FRIENDS.
A CROSSBOW BOLT hits the DEMON.
THE DEMON falls to the ground.
EVERYONE looks around because they can see the bolt…but WHERE did it come from?
TOBY REDWOOD, formerly AGENT TOBY COMPY drops from a TREE NEARBY with a small PISTOL-CROSSBOW.
TOBY looked at the group of students that fainted. He then looked at AMBER, seeing she held a very odd looking necklace in her hand…
THE NECKLACE glowed.
TOBY picked her up and walked away.
A MONK of GLASS’ watched from a WINDOW.
COMMERCIAL
TOBY’S APPARTMENT
AMBER laid on the COUCH, still out of it.
TOBY was on the phone.
Toby: No, no, I understand that. It’s more crystal shaped.
CHARGER CITY – BEN SUMMERS’ HOUSE – KITCHEN
DAN sat on the other end of the phone.
Dan: How is it Crystal shaped? I mean, a crystal isn’t a shape.
TOBY’S APPARTMENT
Toby: Right, I understand that. It’s kind of redish.
BEN’S KITCHEN
Dan: And you said it glowed?
TOBY’S APPARTMENT
Toby: Yes.
BEN’S KITCHEN
Dan: Well, I’ll look into this when I can…things…things here aren’t so great.
TOBY’S APPARTMENT
Toby: What’s happening?
BEN’S KITCHEN
Dan: I can’t talk about it…Toby…just pray.
DAN hung the phone up and looked at BECKY.
TOBY’S APPARTMENT
TOBY hung his phone and thought for a second.
AMBER started to wake up. She looked very confused, but to weak to do anything.
Amber: Where am I?
Toby: You’re at my house. My name is Toby Redwood. You were attacked by…um, a man thing and I saved you.
AMBER looked up at TOBY, finally making eye contact.
Amber: My friends…are they…?
Toby: They’re fine.
Amber: Oh thank God.
TOBY started to grab his forehead. TOBY started to moan in pain and threw himself backwards…
TOBY was having a vision –
TOBY’S VISION
DARK…the SAME DEMON with a FEW VAMPIRES and MONKS fighting a MAN…the MAN turns around…
…it’s FALCON. A WOODEN STAKE is rammed through FALCON’S HEART.
THE VISION ENDED.
TOBY sat out of breath, on his living room floor.
Amber: Are you okay?
Toby: No…Falcon’s here…and he’s going to die.
Amber: Who is Falcon?
Toby: A friend, well, not direct friend with me, but I know him. And I haven’t a clue where these visions came from. That’s how I knew to save you…but I thought I killed that demon.
TOBY grabbed AMBER’S arm.
Toby: Come on, we don’t have much time.
UNDERGROUND SEWER
CHAMBER
GLASS sat in the THRONE.
Monk: Sir, that’s what I saw.
Glass: She has the amulet…and he has his blood.
Monk: Sir?
Glass: The girl has the amulet to restore my strength, but Falcon has my blood.
Monk: It wasn’t Falcon, sir. It was someone I’ve seen before. I think from when we helped Bob Kline.
Glass: Who was it?!
Monk: He had blonde hair and was strong…
Glass: …so the Slayer lives in Seattle now…interesting.
Monk: I don’t think it was the Slayer.
Glass: Why don’t you think that?
Monk: Well, the Slayer is Ben Summers, and according to Charger City news, Ben and his brother River Summers are laying in critical condition at Charger City Hospital. A man gunned them down, as well as two others. The other two probably won’t make it.
GLASS smiled.
Glass: Kill them all.
LIGHTNING, revealing the setting sun and then THE MOON.
FALCON walked down the SIDEWALK of DOWNTOWN SEATTLE.
Merchant: Come on, come on, come on! You know you want a ring! Wouldn’t you love to be outside in the sun some more?!
FALCON looked at him, and then kept walking.
Merchant: Lousy vampire.
The same DEMON that TOBY tried to kill ran AT TOP speed (very Clark Kent/Smallville) and connected with FALCON. FALCON flew into a BACK ALLEY.
FALCON landed with a sickening thud on a DUMPSTER.
HIS body left an imprint.
THREE VAMPIRES came from the ALLEY, as well as a MONK with the DEMON.
Monk: Remember, get his blood then kill him.
FALCON was helpless.
The THREE VAMPIRES ganged up on FALCON.
The DEMON rammed a SYRINGE into FALCON and extracted blood.
The DEMON started to RUN, but was stopped by another CROSSBOW BOLT. THE DEMON was pissed off now.
Demon: Who in the Hell is doing that?!
A VAMPIRE looked up – TOBY threw his voice.
Toby: I did, you ugly bastard!
THE DEMON looked at the VAMPIRE. The VAMPIRE looked scared.
THE DEMON charged at the VAMPIRE very fast, and connected – sending the VAMPIRE flying. The VAMPIRE flew threw a window, but his head remained higher than the WINDOW, decapitating him and turning him to DUST.
The OTHER two VAMPIRES looked at the DEMON.
They STARTED to attack him.
FALCON pulled himself up to his feet and staked the other TWO VAMPIRES quickly.
FALCON looked at the DEMON.
Falcon: You sure are an ugly critter.
THE DEMON was pissed off now. He GRABBED FALCON by the neck.
TOBY came out from behind a TRASH CAN with AMBER.
TOBY rolled and pulled the SYRINGE from THE DEMON’S WAIST.
HE squirted FALCON’S BLOOD out and injected his own.
TOBY put the SYRINGE back up on the WASIT of the DEMON.
Demon: You haven’t seen the last of me VAMPIRE.
THE DEMON took off at top speed, the other way.
Falcon: Shit. He has my blood!
TOBY came forward.
Toby: No he doesn’t.
FALCON looked in awe.
Falcon: Toby?
Toby: Yep. I spilled your blood out of it and injected mine.
Falcon: So whatever they needed, it won’t be what they’re looking for.
FALCON noticed the GIRL.
Falcon: Miss?
AMBER stepped forward.
Amber: Hi…
Falcon: Who is she?
Toby: The demon attacked her…and she has some sort of amulet.
FALCON looked at the girl.
Falcon: Do you?
Amber: I just have this necklace.
SHE pulled out the NECKLACE and FALCON saw it and recognized it immediately.
Toby: You know what it is, because I don’t.
Falcon: Yes…it’s Glass’.
Toby: The guy who created you?
Falcon: Yeah.
Toby: How do you know?
Falcon: Trust me…there’s always an amulet. Can I have it?
AMBER nodded.
Amber: I just bought it from a street merchant.
Falcon: Just?
Amber: Well, like three weeks ago. He said it washed up on the Charger City Bay, and I’ve read a lot about Charger City and it’s night life and, I’d love to go there.
Falcon & Toby: No you wouldn’t.
Amber: You’re both from there, aren’t you?
Falcon: Yeah.
Amber: And I mean, you took a beating, and you’re fine.
Falcon: I’m a little stronger than most people think.
Amber: Are you a vampire?
Falcon: How would you guess?
Amber: The whole ‘all black’ look.
Falcon: Oh.
Toby: Falcon, don’t you think you’re going to get into trouble with that thing?
FALCON looked at TOBY and AMBER.
Falcon: Trouble? I’m always in trouble. So I say, bring it on.
FALCON started to walk away…TRIUMPHANT MUSIC starts…and then fades as FALCON notices he’s the only one walking away.
Falcon: You guys can come with me.
Amber: Oh.
AMBER and TOBY jumped next to FALCON and then the three of them started walking, CUE THE TRIUMPHANT MUSIC. :)
SEWER CHAMBER
GLASS injected the BLOOD in him.
HE waited for a few seconds.
Glass: Shouldn’t I feel tingly now?
Monk: Sir, I assure you that miserable creature got his blood.
Glass: I think he failed…and I hate failure. Not as much as I hate Falcon Glick. It’s okay, though. I’ll wait and we’ll get it. There is enough in this city where we’ll run into him again I’m sure.
GLASS stood up.
Glass: And how I made him, you all made me and brought me back…
GLASS threw his arm out and DOZENS of little GLASS SHARDS flew from his hand.
Glass: It’s like a calling card.
GLASS started to laugh.
Glass: We’ll play with the Vampire later…onto bigger things!
FALCON’S BUILDING
AMBER, TOBY and FALCON all stood in the MAIN OFFICE area.
Falcon: It’s not much, but we can work out of here.
Amber: Definitely needs some light…natural tones, like sun…
AMBER looked at FALCON.
Amber: Definitely won’t work, so more with the electricity.
Toby: And I suppose we just go out and help the people I see in my visions?
Amber: And charge them!
Toby: We can’t charge the helpless.
Amber: Sure we can.
Toby: You are a typical college student…desperate for money.
Amber: You would be too!
Falcon: I can see this is going to be good already.
Toby: So do we have a name?
The THREE of them LOOKED at each other.
Falcon: Falcon Investigations?
Toby: No…stop stealing stuff from your pal Angel.
Falcon: He works for Wolfram & Hart now!
Toby: Then why don’t we take Angel Investigations here?
Falcon: Because we don’t have an Angel to use.
AMBER looked at FALCON.
Amber: Sure we do.
She smiled at him.
Amber: Or Team Falcon works. I don’t care…well actually I do, we need a name that way I can cash my paychecks.
They all smiled at each other…
TOBY grabbed his forehead. FALCON rushed behind him and HELD him up.
TOBY’S VISION
DOWNTOWN CHARGER CITY – NIGHT
BEN STOOD with his SCYTHE battling BOB KLINE.
SEVERAL DEAD BODIES around…
Falcon: What was it?
TOBY looked too scared to say.
Toby: …It’s…it’s Ben. And Bob Kline.
FALCON looked outraged…
FALCON looked at BOTH of his new associates.
Falcon [very coldly]: Gear up. We’re heading to Charger City.
