Falcon - 1x02 - Reunion
By Ben
Falcon: Previously on Falcon…
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 its 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 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: …And on Slayer… Ben: Bob…you always underestimated one thing about me…
BOB looked curiously at BEN.
Bob: And what’s that?
Ben: That I always have a back up plan….
BOB looked a bit surprised as BEN nodded his head and yelled,
Ben: Now!
RIVER kicked HOLDEN in the groin, releasing him, BEN threw the SCYTHE straight at BOB and it landed SCYTHE SIDE into BOB’S CHEST.
The DEMONS started to charge on the SCRAPPY GANG, but they were pulled back and being killed by…
UBERVAMPS.
DAC’S HELICOPTER FLEW OVERHEAD
The UBERVAMPS took the DEMON ARMY out. Not a Demon or Vampire were standing.
THE SCRAPPY GANG looked around…it’s over. It’s finally over…
BOB’S BODY flew up into the air, hovering above them.
Bob: Fool…
BOB pulled the SCYTHE from his CHEST and held it high. LIGHTNING STRUCK the SCYTHE and BOB flew to the ground…the ROAD caved in deep, burying BOB.
a HUGH DEMON emerged from where BOB KLINE was buried.
The CREATURE looked very much like GANON from OCARINA OF TIME, very LARGE and HIDEOUS, with TWO SWORDS.
THE MASTER jammed his SWORDS into the GROUND and a huge CIRCLE of FIRE formed around just BEN and THE MASTER
Para: The only way to defeat him is to undo what you’ve done with the Scythe. It is very dangerous and I can’t promise that you’ll come back from this.
BEN looked at her and nodded.
RIVER flung the SCYTHE through the FLAMES.
BEN caught it with ease….the CAMERA panned to BEN’S EYES, then to THE MASTER’S, back to BEN’S as his eyes now turned ‘evil/mean looking’ and BEN started to charge.
The TWO LARGE SWORDS came down and BEN deflected both swords with the SCYTHE, BEN swung the SCYTHE into THE MASTER’S KNEE CAP, sending him down to the ground.
The HOST walked through the FLAMES.
BEN went to go and ram the SCYTHE into THE MASTER’S SKULL, but THE HOST stopped the blade from coming down.
BEN looked at THE HOST…
THE HOST punched BEN out of the RING, holding onto the SCYTHE.
THE MASTER looked at THE HOST…then the HOST looked at the SCRAPPY GANG and RAMMED THE SCYTHE into the MASTER.
A HUGE EXPLOSION OF LIGHT EMERGED and THE HOST and THE MASTER were lifted into the LIGHT.
THE LIGHT SEALED, and the TWO BEINGS disappeared. The SCYTHE dropped to the ground at BEN’S FEET.
FALCON hangs his phone up at his desk. The CORONER moved TOBY’S BODY out of the office on a stretcher, covered in a black bag.
AMBER sits at a chair in front of FALCON’S DESK, very scared.
FALCON looked at her.
Amber: We shouldn’t have argued. We should have just went with you.
Falcon: It’s not your fault.
Amber: Isn’t it?
Falcon: No. What happened here is my fault. I thought I killed the guy who did this and I just, I’m sorry you had to go through what you did.
AMBER looked up at him.
Amber: You probably don’t want me to work for you anymore, do you.
Falcon: Yes, I do. I mean, I don’t really know you all that well – but I want you to stay.
Amber: What about Toby’s position?
Falcon: I actually have a friend from Charger City who is coming to work with me. You’ll like him, his name is Ryan Hawkins.
AMBER’S jaw dropped.
Amber: Did he go to University of Dansville?
Falcon: I think so.
Amber: And did he do a thesis on Human Behavior?
Falcon: I think he’s in psychology of some kind, so yeah, I’m sure.
Amber: And is he really, really, really, really cute?
FALCON’S eyes got wide, but then he realized what AMBER has been through and he had to be a friend somehow.
So FALCON mustered up his most homosexual voice.
Falcon: He’s like a dream…with him, you could just…oh…do stuff with bananas.
AMBER laughed at FALCON, as FALCON smiled at her.
RYAN stood in the doorway.
Ryan: The police said I should come and talk to you…but I don’t really want to talk to you if you’re feeling that way.
AMBER gazed at him.
FALCON walked over to him and shook his hand.
Falcon: Didn’t we just save the world?
Ryan: Yeah, I think so.
Falcon: You got here pretty quick.
Ryan: Well, you know me…Lead Foot Hawkins…
Amber: I bet you have nice feet.
RYAN and FALCON both looked at AMBER.
RYAN walked over to her and extended his hand. AMBER placed her hand in his, pulling herself up from her chair.
Amber: I’m Amber, the office manager here.
Ryan: Oh, well nice to meet you. My name is
Amber: Ryan Hawkins. I did you.
RYAN looked shocked.
Ryan: Excuse me?
AMBER blushed.
Amber: I mean I did a research paper on you.
Ryan: Oh. Really? That’s fascinating. I’ve only published one work.
Amber: Yeah, I have two copies.
Ryan: And I have the third. I guess that would explain my book sales.
RYAN and AMBER laughed.
FALCON interrupted.
Falcon: Did you get your apartment set up?
Ryan: Oh, no. He wasn’t there. Can I crash here for the night?
Amber: You can stay with me.
Falcon: That’s okay, he can stay here. I actually need to talk to him. Are you going to be okay going home by yourself?
AMBER grabbed a small WOODEN STAKE.
Amber: The heart, right?
Falcon: Just not mine.
Amber: Okay. Good night, Falcon.
AMBER looked dream-like at RYAN, but the CAMERA shifts to her view as she sees RYAN, standing there, wearing just a SPEEDO.
The sound of a RECORD being scratched off of a turntable is heard as RYAN waves goodbye to her.
Amber: Good night.
AMBER walked out of the office.
Ryan: What was with that?
Falcon: Oh…I told her you wanted to be a foot model.
Ryan: You knew that?
RYAN walked over to his bags, and picked one of them up.
Ryan: You have to get the other one man, it’s too heavy.
FALCON bent down and picked it up as if it were a bag of feathers.
Ryan: Don’t you start with your fancy ‘I’m a vampire and can lift heavy things like pie,’ crap with me.
Falcon: None started.
FALCON and RYAN walked downstairs.
RYAN looked around at FALCON’S APPARTMENT.
Ryan: This is actually pretty tight.
Falcon: Thanks, I had the Martha Stewart of Vampires come and decorate for me.
Ryan: I thought she was a demon.
Falcon: Oh…that’s right she is. I guess I could’ve called her.
RYAN threw his bag on the ground.
FALCON dropped RYAN’S heavy bag – but when the BAG smacked into the ground, the BAG said
Bag: Ouch!
RYAN and FALCON looked very surprised at the bag.
Ryan: Do we beat the crap out of my bag?
Falcon: I don’t know, what’s in there?
Ryan: My clothes.
FALCON unzipped the BAG, and a BODY came out of the bag.
RYAN rolled over the body and looked in amazement.
Ryan: Marty, what the hell are you doing in my bag?
The CAMERA panned down to MARTY…

COMMERCIAL
SEATTLE CATHEDRAL
“Ave Maria”
A CLOSED CASKET sits in the front of the CATHEDRAL, with many mournful faces.
FALCON sat in the front, dressed very nicely, along with AMBER and RYAN. MARTY sat next to RYAN.
Marty: Wasn’t that the same guy from…
Ryan: Yes, please don’t talk right now. I have to figure out a way to get you home.
Ben: I’ll just take him with me when I leave.
BEN sat down next to MARTY. BEN also, was dressed very nicely.
Marty: I don’t want to go back.
Ben: If you talk during this service one more time, you’ll wish you had.
MARTY looked up at BEN. BEN cracked his knuckles.
FALCON looked down the aisle, noticing BEN. BEN nodded.
The PREIST was talking.
BEN looked at FALCON, trying to get his attention.
The PREIST noticed this and looked at BEN.
Priest: Nervous?
BEN looked shocked.
Ben: Oh, I don’t deal too well with funerals, sorry.
BEN got up and pulled FALCON with him. They both approached the CASKET. BEN bowed his head, and walked away.
FALCON followed.
INSIDE THE CATHEDRALS FOYER
Ben: You didn’t tell me it was Toby.
Falcon: I’m sorry.
Ben: It’s okay. So who are we killing?
Falcon: It’s Glass.
[Special Guest Star Ben Smythe as Ben Summers]
Ben: Ice killed him, like a long time ago. Back when Becky went all homicidal.
Falcon: Yeah, and then The Master brought them all back.
Ben: I’ll ask you to never refer to him as that again, but merely “Poof the Magic Dragon.”
[Guest Starring JP Junkee as Marty]
BEN started to laugh. FALCON was struggling.
Ben: You know, he disappeared, in thin air…Poof…never mind.
Falcon: Yeah, so, Glass is back, and actually more powerful than I thought.
Ben: Why is that?
Falcon: Wolfram & Hart.
Ben: That law firm that Angel owns?
[Dark Hunter as Glass]
Falcon: He doesn’t own this part in Seattle.
Ben: Well, Falcon, that consists of a phone call to LA and they are gone.
Falcon: It’s not that.
Ben: Well what is it?
Falcon: I killed him, Ben. I know I did. I was sure of it.
Ben: Remember, like almost three years ago when you and Becky went all homicidal?
Falcon: Yeah, before I got my soul.
Ben: Yeah, well, I could’ve swore I killed you.
[The Host as Matt McGuire]
Falcon: But you didn’t.
Ben: That’s my point. It happens, big guy.
Falcon: But he did all of this.
Ben: Well then I’ll help you stop him. That’s what I’m here for. You’ve got a good team it looks like so far. I’ve yet to see this Amber girl in action, but she looks like she could take on a few.
FALCON looked at him.
Falcon: A few what, Ben?
QUICK FLASHES of the CHURCH, WOLFRAM & HART’S OFFICE, and then FALCON’S OFFICE
FALCON’S OFFICE – LOBBY
AMBER sat at her desk. RYAN looked across from his desk at her.
The PHONE rang.
BEN was sitting across from RYAN.
The PHONE rang again.
Amber: Do you want me to get that?
Ryan: Sure.
AMBER reached down and grabbed the phone.
Amber: Falcon Investigations.
BEN looked at her, then looked at RYAN.
Ben: Angel is so going to kick his ass.
Falcon: I know. That’s why I’ve been trying to get a hold of him, but every time someone answers at the LA Wolfram & Hart it’s all like really weird static.
BEN pondered.
Ben: It’s probably some spell that they’re working on or somebody bugged the phones.
Falcon: More than likely.
MARTY came in from the basement.
Ben: So, the stowaway comes forth.
Marty: You’re not going to take me back are you?
Ben: Now? No. I’ll take you back when my work is finished here.
MARTY started to waver back and forth in place. He clinched his stomach.
Marty: What’s happening?
MARTY released a SCREAM and then placed his hands on his TEMPLES.
MARTY’S VISION
GLASS was being FED OFF of from SEVERAL VAMPIRES from all over his body.
GLASS screamed in pain as the VISISON ZOOMED out and back into FALCON’S OFFICE – MARTY was breathing hard, and very scared.
Ben: Did he just have a vision?
Falcon: How could he have a vision?
Ben: I haven’t a clue, but that’s vision symptoms.
BEN bent down.
Ben: What did you see?
Marty: A guy…a guy I’ve seen before. You fought him.
Ben: I did?
Marty: No, Falcon. On a boat. But he’s not the same. Vampires are feeding off of him.
Falcon: It’s Glass…why would they feed off of him?
Ben: Enhancing his power.
Falcon: How do you know?
Ben: When a vampire feeds from a demon, they can absorb some of their strength?
Falcon: Kind of like Rogue from the X-Men?
Ben: Not their powers, just their strength, but it takes a while to kick in, and he’d be very weak.
Falcon: Where was this at Marty?
Marty: Underground, maybe like a sewer?
Falcon: Let’s go.
FALCON pulled MARTY up. BEN, FALCON and MARTY all headed towards the basement of the BUILDING.
RYAN looked at AMBER.
Ryan: Right, well, you and I should probably follow?
Amber: I’m for it if you are.
Ryan: I am.
Amber: Good, because I really was if you weren’t, as well. I’m so going to kick his ass.
AMBER walked past RYAN and picked up her SMALL AXE.
RYAN looked a tad intimidated.
RYAN followed behind her, carrying a bag full of weapons.
TEAM FALCON walked down the corridors of the sewers, using their flashlights as they could to see where they were going.
BEN got in front of FALCON.
Falcon: Hey – this is my city…
Ben: I sense a vampire.
Falcon: Duh. I’m right here. Aren’t you just being a comedian.
BEN looked at FALCON and a “What the f*ck are you talking about?” expression appeared on his face.
Ben: Not you.
FALCON looked at him.
Falcon: Oh.
Ben: Let’s split ourselves up. Falcon, Amber, and Marty you go that way. Ryan, you come with me.
TEAM FALCON did indeed split up and, as they did – they entered the MAIN CHAMBER.
DOZENS of VAMPIRES were circled around, as if a huge fight were happening in the giant circle.
BEN looked over at FALCON from across the way. They both nodded at each other as they knew what they had to do.
TEAM FALCON STARTED in on the CIRCLE…
FALCON’S OFFICE
THE door to FALCON’S OFFICE flew open. PARA ran in, out of breath.
Para: Where is it? Where in the hell is it?
PARA opened FALCON’S DOOR, and spotted “it.”
PARA grabbed THE SCYTHE OF THE SLAYER.
THE SCYTHE flew out of her hands and broke through FALCON’S WINDOW and into the air – flying far away.
Para: Oh shi-
THE MAIN CHAMBER –
BEN rammed a STAKE through a vampire, the vampire dusted and BEN then continued onto the next vampire.
RYAN pulled out an axe and started to swing, decapitating everything it came into contact with.
The VAMPIRES now turned and started to attack – but FALCON and AMBER diverted their attention away from BEN and RYAN – so now the VAMPIRES were fighting TEAM FALCON.
MARTY pulled a SWORD from his waist and started swinging at the VAMPIRES.
FALCON looked at the center – GLASS stood, staggering to stand up.
FALCON made his way to GLASS, staking any vampire that got in his way. GLASS looked at FALCON.
Glass: Falcon…save me.
FALCON didn’t hesitate. He picked GLASS up and lifted him over his shoulder, taking him away from the VAMPIRES.
SEWER PATH
FALCON let GLASS down to the ground gently.
Glass: Thank you, old friend.
Falcon: Is that what you are?
Glass: But of course.
GLASS’ FACE morphed into VAMP MODE.
Falcon: I was so hoping you would do that.
FALCON’S FACE morphed too.
GLASS and FALCON dove at each other.
THE MAIN CHAMBER
BEN’S BODY flew to the other side of the room.
The FEMALE VAMPIRE looked at him.
Female Vamp: I always thought Slayer’s were stronger than that.
AMBER back flipped several times and landed inches away from the FEMALE VAMP. As she stood on her two feet, AMBER lifted her RIGHT LEG and swung it into the FEMALE VAMP. THE BITCH flew backwards.
BEN looked in amazement at her.
Ben: Here.
BEN tossed a wooden stake up to her. AMBER caught it with ease, and with the same amount of ease, she threw the stake at the FEMALE VAMP – dusting her.
BEN looked around – THE remaining four of them had cleaned house pretty good.
The FOUR of them gathered together.
Ben: Where’s Falcon?
As if on cue, FALCON’S body flew through the CONCRETE & BRICK WALL OF THE SEWERS into the MAIN CHAMBER.
GLASS walked through the new hole he made. FALCON still laid on the ground – motionless.
Glass: Hello Ben. I thought you were elsewhere.
Ben: I was, but when a friend needs help –
Glass: A friend? That pathetic creature is a friend?
Ben: That VAMPIRE has done more good than you’ll ever do.
Glass: Isn’t that odd that you say that – because I created him.
Ben: So?
Glass: So…without me, he’d never be here.
Ben: Make a point already.
Glass: Oh, I guess I really don’t have one.
Ben: Well I do.
BEN pulled his wooden stake and formed an “ASS-KICKING POSE.”
Glass: My, my. The last time I ran into a Slayer was…well, when your ex love was going homicidal…and that schmuck and I were assisting her.
BEN rolled his eyes.
AMBER looked around the room – she noticed a ROPE hanging a curtain.
Glass: And you…did you like my little gift that I left hanging around?
Amber: You’re a monster.
Glass: Yes. I am.
Amber: You’ll get what’s coming to you.
Glass: And what’s that, love?
Amber: A tan.
AMBER threw her small BATTLEAXE at the ROPE – The rope snapped and the CURTAIN DROPPED revealing sunlight in the ROOM – the SUN touched GLASS’ arm. GLASS ran out of the CHAMBER.
BEN pulled FALCON up. FALCON was totally out of it.
TEAM FALCON walked away.
FLASHES of DOWNTOWN SEATTLE, VAMPIRES, and LIGHTNING
SEATTLE, EVENING – FALCON’S OFFICE
BEN stands on the top of the BUILDING, looking at the STARS with FALCON.
Falcon: I have a lot to thank you for.
Ben: Hey, don’t mention it. It’s what I’m here for.
Falcon: I know.
Ben: I have to get going though. I’ve seen enough of Seattle to last me a lifetime.
Falcon: So does this mean you won’t come back to see me?
Ben: I can’t make any promises. But as a Slayer – I go where the work takes me. So who knows.
BEN and FALCON shook hands.
Ben: Good show.
Falcon: You too.
BEN walked away from FALCON and faded into the darkness as he went down the stairs.
FALCON walked down into his office and looked at RYAN, AMBER and MARTY.
Falcon: Hey – Ben’s leaving, you better go.
Marty: I figured it out.
Falcon: Figured what out?
Marty: My higher purpose. Anya and the Powers That Be told it to me when I was shot. I’m supposed to help you. With the visions I get – I can help you.
FALCON looked at him.
Falcon: What about school?
Marty: With the visions, I’m sure I’ll be able to see the future and know tests. So I’ll test out and graduate early.
FALCON looked at RYAN, then at AMBER. They both nodded.
Falcon: Welcome to the team.
The SCYTHE flew back through the WINDOW.
TEAM FALCON hit the ground.
PARA flew through the WINDOW. She GRABBED the SCYTHE and threw it at the ground.
THE SCYTHE landed with the WOODEN STAKE SIDE going into the floor.
Falcon: The stake didn’t break…that’s one hell of a wooden stake.
The SCYTHE started to GLOW – and a SCREAM emerged from it.
AN EXPLOSION OF LIGHT flew through FALCON’S OFFICE.
A BODY FORMED OUTSIDE of the SCYTHE. THE BODY WAS NAKED –
The BODY stopped SCREAMING.
THE BODY looked around – very scared and confused. Lost. The BODY was glistening with sweat.
A LIGHT came to show the face on the BODY…
MATT MCGUIRE STOOD by the SCYTHE.
Falcon: Matt?
PARA couldn’t help but stare.
Para: I think that’s why he’s called The Host…
FALCON, RYAN, and AMBER snapped their heads at PARA – shocked at what she said.
