EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE ALLEYWAY - CONTINUOUS
A PORTAL opens!
CUT TO:
INT. FRANK'S DINER - CONTINUOUS
FLETCHER
We have a portal opening! Twelfth
street! Behind the bank!
Everyone quickly stands.
FRANK
Mike, get on the sphere!
Mike nods and quickly exits into the kitchen. Frank runs for
the front door followed closely by the gang.
KAT
(to Frank)
I'm going to stay and help Mike.
Frank nods his acknowledgment as he and the others run out
the door. A determined look crosses Kat's face. She quickly
turns and runs into the kitchen as we:
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - SPHERE CAVE - MOMENTS LATER
Mike stands at the sphere. As his hands cup it on either
side, he inhales a sharp breath. His eyes begin to glow in
time with the orb as we:
FADE TO:
INT. SPHERE CAVE DREAMSCAPE - CONTINUOUS
Mike stands in the dark cave which is lit only by the orb
that he stands behind.
Before him, Kat appears.
KAT
(panicked)
Mike! Thank the Goddess you're
here!
MIKE
(stunned)
But you're... Then who... What the
f--
Mike's words are cut short. He jerks as if hit from behind.
He falls to the ground as we:
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - SPHERE CAVE - CONTINUOUS
Mike hits the ground unconscious. The camera PANS UP to show
Kat standing behind him holding a large flashlight which she
presumably just hit the young man with.
Kat's face is stoney cold as we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE ALLEYWAY - MOMENTS LATER
Frank, Fletcher, and Vi run into the alleyway and stand
before the open portal. Seconds later they are joined by
Tamsin who is doing her best to move quickly.
They stand there for a beat. Nothing. They look at each other
questioningly and then back to the portal. Still nothing.
Fletcher pulls out his PDA and looks at the screen.
CU on the device's screen. The display shows a representation
of the portal and four blue dots indicating the team.
FLETCHER
Looks like this one's a dud.
Frank taps his earpiece.
FRANK
(into earpiece)
Hey, Mike. You can close it up.
There's nothing here.
No reply.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Mike. I said you can shut this one
down.
Frank cocks his eyebrow and looks to Tamsin who is wearing a
concerned look on her face.
FRANK (CONT'D)
Mike?
The team runs back out of the alley, Tamsin once again
bringing up the rear as we:
CUT TO:
INT. UNMARKED POLICE CAR - MOMENTS LATER
Tanya sits in the driver's driving down the road. Tanya's
cell phone rings. She looks at the caller ID which reads
"Frank". She gives a small smile and answers.
TANYA
(into phone)
Hey, Frank. I just tried to call
you.
(beat)
Just wanted to let you know, we
wrapped up that stakeout, thought
maybe you'd want to grab a bite
later.
(beat)
Sounds great. Yeah, I know the
place. See you then.
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - SPHERE CAVE - CONTINUOUS
Kat has Frank's cell phone up to her ear.
KAT
(in Frank's voice)
Bye, babe.
Kat's lips curl into a cruel sneer. She hurtles the phone to
the ground as we:
CUT TO BLACK:
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - SPHERE CAVE - DUSK
Frank, Fletcher, Vi, and Tamsin enter the room to find Mike
laying unconscious on the floor. Tamsin drops down and helps
the young man sit up. A loud CRASH from off camera attracts
everyone's attention.
FRANK
(to Tamsin; indicating
Mike)
See to him!
Frank picks up his sawed-off shotgun as he, Fletcher, and Vi
race from the room:
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - MEDICAL LAB - CONTINUOUS
Frank enters the room with his weapon in front of him
followed closely by Vi and Fletcher who is now holding a
pistol.
On the floor is the source of the sound. Billie has
apparently managed to knock the storage locker over and roll
out onto the floor. Still tied-up and gagged, she struggles
with her bonds.
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - SPHERE CAVE - MOMENTS LATER
Mike stirs and grabs at his head.
MIKE
(groggy)
Wha...
Mike looks to Tamsin, a confused look on his face. She helps
him stand.
MIKE (CONT'D)
What happened?
TAMSIN
We were going to ask you the same
thing. Who did this?
Vi enters, followed closely by Frank and Fletcher who are
supporting Billie. Billie shrugs the two men off.
BILLIE
I told you, it was Kat!
Mike shakes his head emphatically and then grabs his aching
skull.
MIKE
No! It wasn't!
Billie looks very displeased and gets right in Mike's face.
BILLIE
So I knocked out and stuffed myself
in a locker?!
(beat)
She freaked out! Ranted about how I
was trying to keep her and Frank
apart! She started glowing like one
of those damn slugs and zapped me!
The chick's lost it!
Frank, Tamsin, Fletcher and Vi look concerned.
BILLIE (CONT'D)
It was her!
MIKE
No! That person... that thing isn't
Kat!
All give Mike confused looks.
MIKE (CONT'D)
(pointing to the orb)
Kat's still in the sphere!
Frank looks quickly to the sphere. His expression shows that
he is trying to make sense of things. He looks to Billie.
FRANK
You said she was glowing like one
of those slugs?
Billie nods. Frank turns to Fletcher.
FRANK (CONT'D)
And you say they mimic background
energy signatures.
Fletcher nods.
FRANK (CONT'D)
What would happen if one attached
itself--
Fletcher is clearly now on the same page as Frank.
FLETCHER
To the sphere!
Fletcher pulls out his PDA and holds it near the sphere. He
hits a couple of buttons on the device. Looking at the
readout, he frowns.
FLETCHER (CONT'D)
I'm reading residual magnalit
residue.
Frank frowns also. Tamsin follows suit.
MIKE
I don't get it. What's going on?
TAMSIN
In her current state, Kat is pure
energy supplemented by the sphere.
If a magnalit fed off that energy
and then copied its signature, it
could conceivably reconstruct Kat's
physical and mental processes as
well.
Mike gets it.
MIKE
So she's a Copy-Kat.
No one laughs.
FLETCHER
It would explain the strange
readings I was getting earlier.
VI
(shaking her head)
But it doesn't make sense. Kat was
a sweet, loving person. Why is this
slug-clone thingy crazy?
FLETCHER
Magnalits usually feed off
naturally occurring electrical
energy sources not mystical. I can
only assume that tapping into the
sphere and its vast power has made
this one highly... unstable.
BILLIE
(sarcastically)
No crap.
TAMSIN
What do we do with her?
(beat)
I assume squashing her under foot
is no longer an option.
Frank notices his cell phone on the floor. He bends down and
picks it up, a curious look on his face. He hits a button on
it and furrows his brow. On the screen, the call log displays
Tanya's number as the last called.
FRANK
I don't know, but we better hurry.
CU on Frank's concerned face as we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE PARK - NIGHT
Tanya is sitting on a bench looking out at the small pond.
She glances at her watch.
CUT TO:
INT. UNMARKED POLICE CAR - CONTINUOUS
Through the windshield, Tanya can be seen sitting on the
bench several yards away. On the seat, sits her purse, her
cell sticking out the top. It rings, it's display reads,
"Incoming call - Frank".
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE PARK - CONTINUOUS
Tanya looks back out at the small pond. The RUSTLING sound of
someone sitting beside her gets her attention. She turns to
her left expecting to see Frank and instead sees Kat! She
jumps slightly, startled. She gives a small smile.
TANYA
Sorry, I thought you were someone
else.
(beat)
Hey. Don't I know you?
KAT
(in Frank's voice)
You tell me, babe.
Tanya's eyes go wide in confusion as we:
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND CENTRAL - THE VAULT - MOMENTS LATER
The gang stand in the doorway as Tamsin opens a drawer and
pulls out a small, gun-like device, the KLAXXON GENERATOR.
TAMSIN
The Klaxxon generator should be
able to drain her power enough to
allow us to apprehend her. We can
bring her back her until we decide
what to do with her.
She hands the weapon to Frank. Billie is not happy with this
plan.
BILLIE
What's there to decide?! I say the
bitch is toast!
TAMSIN
(shaking her head)
She's not a simple magnalit
anymore! She thinks like Kat! She
almost is Kat! You're talking about
murder!
Billie doesn't look happy, but holds her tongue. Fletcher is
looking at his PDA.
FLETCHER
I'm having a hard time locking onto
her. I'm still getting that
interference.
Frank frowns.
BILLIE
These things like power, right?
Maybe we could lure it with--
FLETCHER
(shaking his head)
She thinks like Kat. She'd want to
go somewhere the real Kat was
familiar with. Somewhere safe.
A light bulb goes off in Frank's head.
FRANK
I know where she's at.
Off his face we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE PARK - MOMENTS LATER
Kat and Tanya sit on the bench much as they did moments
earlier, only now Tanya has an uneasy look on her face. Kat
gazes out at the water.
KAT
This was our place.
(small chuckle)
As much as two people who were
scared to admit what they meant to
each other could have a place.
Kat begins glowing a soft green color. Tanya inches a little
further away from her.
KAT (CONT'D)
So quiet, so peaceful. We spent so
many days here just looking out at
the water and talking.
Tanya moves to make a break for it. Kat whips her head
around, her eyes FLASH with energy.
Tanya freezes and slams back down on the bench, pulled by an
unseen force.
KAT (CONT'D)
Sit down! I'm talking!
Tanya struggles to keep her breathing in check. Kat relaxes.
KAT (CONT'D)
That's better.
She looks back out at the water.
KAT (CONT'D)
It'll be that way again, when
you're gone.
Tanya's eyes grow wider. Kat turns to her.
KAT (CONT'D)
I'm sorry, but you're standing in
our way.
TANYA
Hey! You obviously like the man
more than I do. You can have him.
KAT
Liar! You want him! I can see it!
Kat flicks her wrist. Tanya is pulled into a standing
position.
KAT (CONT'D)
Don't struggle and it will go
quickly.
Tanya is pushed toward the water. She digs her heals in, but
continues toward the pond.
KAT (CONT'D)
I've heard drowning is painless.
Not like how I died.
Determined, Tanya digs in harder. It slows her progression,
but only slightly.
TANYA
Help!
With another flick on Kat's wrist. Tanya's mouth snaps shut.
She continues to try to cry out, but her closed lips muffle
the sound. Her feet enter the water. Her muffled cries get
louder.
Kat continues to sit on the bench watching. Her face
displaying a small smile.
Tanya is now up to her waist in the water. Her hands claw at
the bank.
Suddenly the SQUEAL OF TIRES and the flash of headlights
cause Kat to turn. Frank's SUV pulls to a SCREECHING HALT
beside Tanya's car.
Frank, Billie, Vi, Mike, and Fletcher quickly exit the
vehicle, running toward Kat. Tamsin exits shortly later,
bringing up the rear as quickly as her condition allows.
Kat stands facing the group She holds her hand in front of
her in a threatening position.
KAT
Stay back!
The gang comes to a halt a few yards away from the woman.
FRANK
(firmly)
Stop!
Tanya is almost completely submerged fighting to keep her
head above the water. Frank gives the woman a worried glance.
FRANK (CONT'D)
(to Kat)
You don't have to do this.
KAT
It's the only way we can be happy!
FRANK
Wrong answer!
Frank raises the Klaxxon generator and pulls the trigger. A
burst of RED ENERGY leaps from the weapon and hits Kat dead
center. She rocks back with the blow, screaming in agony.
Her concentration is broken, freeing Tanya from her power.
Mike runs to help the woman extricate herself from the water.
Frank's assault on Kat continues. Kat slumps to her knees,
still screaming.
Mike helps Tanya to the bank and ushers her clear of the
conflict.
Kat grits her teeth, a look of hatred on her face. Using all
of her strength she manages to get to her feet. She stands
firm and emits a WAVE OF ENERGY which knocks all around her
flat.
The Klaxxon generator flies from Frank's hand, hitting the
ground and shorting out.
Kat moves slowly toward the gang as they right themselves,
her face contorted with rage.
KAT
(to Frank)
I loved you and this is how you
treat me!?
She raises her hands to attack. Mike quickly jumps between
the pair. Kat shoots GREEN ENERGY at the team.
MIKE
(hand up)
Solid!
A SHIMMERING BLUE FORCE FIELD appears around the group. Kat's
energy bounces off of it.
Kat doubles her efforts and sends another BLAST Mike's way.
The energy again bounces off, but Mike is clearly weakened.
He staggers slightly.
A third BLAST and the force field FLICKERS. Frank steadies
the young man as Mike loses his balance. The force field
vanishes.
Everyone scrambles in different directions as Kat sends
another BLAST over their heads. But Kat now only has Frank on
her radar. She purses the man.
KAT
How could you do this to me!?
She BLAST Frank in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Fletcher grabs the Klaxxon generator and aims it at Kat.
Nothing, just a series of small SPARKS. He smacks the side of
it.
Tamsin grabs Tanya pulling her into a bush for cover.
Frank rolls over on his back, looking up at Copy-Kat as she
stands over him, her hands at the ready.
KAT
I died for you!
She ZAPS the helpless man again. Frank groans as his body is
racked with pain.
KAT (CONT'D)
And this is how you repay me?!
Another ZAP! Vi scrambles to help Frank. She LEAPS through
the air in an attempt to tackle the Kat imposter.
Kat turns and holds her hand up. Vi FREEZES in mid-air.
VI
Crap.
Vi FLIES through the air landing in the pond. Mike begins to
right himself as Kat turns back to Frank.
KAT
You lied to me!?
(ZAP)
You cheated on me!?
(ZAP)
You tried to kill me?!
Frank groans. He clothes are smoking slightly. Mike sends a
BALL OF ENERGY Kat's way. With a wave of her hand, she knocks
it away like a gnat.
With another wave, Mike is LIFTED OFF HIS FEET and THROWN
backwards. He FLIES through the air SLAMMING INTO VI who is
making her way out of the pond. The pair hit the water with a
huge SPLASH.
Kat turns back to Frank.
KAT (CONT'D)
What did I ever see in you?
Billie attacks, but she too is THROWN into the pond.
Kat lifts up her hands and FREEZES as we:
CUT TO:
INT. THE LIBRARY - CONTINUOUS
Kat stands over Frank, both frozen. The camera PULLS BACK to
show that it is a picture in a book.
Holding the book is Kat, the real Kat, a frightened look on
her face. She is in the dreamscape library dressed in turn-of
the-century clothing. She turns away from the image and looks
up.
KAT
(pleading)
Please! You can't allow this to
happen!
THE POWERS THAT BE
(many voices speaking as
one)
What will be, will be.
KAT
This is no time to quote Doris Day!
Save him!
THE POWERS THAT BE
What you ask is no small thing. The
scales must balance. To save one
soul, another but be forfeited.
Kat gives a determined look. She looks back to the image as
we:
CUT TO:
EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE PARK - CONTINUOUS
Copy-Kat raises her hands to make her final strike. Frank
grits his teeth preparing for the worse.
A GLOWING WHITE LIGHT appears beside the two. Both look
confused. The light begins to take shape forming Kat! She is
dressed in all white, looking very regal and etherial. From
the bushes, Tamsin and Tanya watch.
TANYA
(to Tamsin)
Not another one!
Copy-Kat looks at the real Kat curiously. Kat raises her
hands. GLOWING WHITE LIGHT leaps forth, enveloping the evil
doppelganger.
Billie, Mike, and Vi, making their way up the bank, pause to
watch, as does Fletcher who is still holding the broken
weapon.
COPY-KAT
No!
The light is now blinding. All look away, blocking their eyes
with their hands.
When the light finally dies down Copy-Kat is gone! The camera
PANS DOWN. On the ground where the fake Kat stood seconds
earlier is a magnalit slug, glowing softly.
Kat takes a step closer to the creature and crushes it
underfoot. CU on the creature as it gives a small SHRIEK and
disappears into a puddle of green goo.
She extends her hand to Frank giving him a soft smile. Frank
smiles back and takes her hand. She helps him to stand.
FRANK
(unsure)
Is it really... you?
KAT
The one and only.
The others gather around. She gives Frank a happy hug and
then hugs Mike, Vi, and Tamsin.
FRANK
But how...
KAT
The Powers owed me one. Let me go
out with a bang.
All smiles vanish except for Kat's which is now bitter-sweet.
MIKE
(alarmed)
Go out?
KAT
This is it for me, kid. My swan
song. The last hoorah.
MIKE
But I still need you--
KAT
(shaking her head)
You know everything you need.
(beat)
And look on the bright side. No
more skull-splitting headaches.
Mike smiles lightly at her.
MIKE
They weren't that bad.
She looks to Tamsin and Vi who are close to tears. She takes
their hands.
KAT
No sad faces. I saved my guy. And
my friends. Not bad for a dead
chick.
A bright BEAM OF WHITE LIGHT shines down from the sky. Kat
looks at it and back to the team.
KAT (CONT'D)
That's my ride. Gotta go.
She leans in and gives the girls another hug. She turns back
to Mike and hugs him.
KAT (CONT'D)
(seriously)
You're a powerful Wiccan, capable
of things you never imagined.
Remember that.
Billie takes mental note of Kat's words. Kat turns to Frank
and gives him a long, firm hug.
KAT (CONT'D)
You know that wasn't me, right? I
only want you to be happy.
Frank smiles softly, nodding. Kat leans in to Frank's ear and
whispers something. A confused look flickers across his face.
He pulls back and looks seriously at Kat. She touches his
face for a beat and then turns toward the light.
Kat steps into the shaft of light and turns around to face
her friends.
KAT (CONT'D)
(smiling softly)
Later, babies. I'm going to be a
star.
Kat vanishes into the beam of light. It immediately ROCKETS
INTO THE AIR and then RACES ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY like a
shooting star, quickly vanishing out of sight.
The gang stands looking at the now empty spot for an beat.
The strain on Frank's face is obvious.
FRANK
Let's get out of here.
Frank turns to Tanya and slides his arm around her back. She
leans her head on his shoulder as they all turn and walk
toward their cars.
FADE TO:
INT. FRANK'S DINER - TYLER'S ROOM - LATER
Tyler and Callie lay in bed asleep. They cuddle in their post
coital bliss.
FADE TO:
INT. FRANK'S APARTMENT - MIKE'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Mike is asleep, spooning behind the also sleeping ATTRACTIVE
MAN #3 (35, Italian). His arm draped over the other man's
chest, his fingers entwined in the man's chest hair.
FADE TO:
INT. FRANK'S APARTMENT - VI'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Vi and Rick lay sleeping. Rick cracks his eyes open and sees
that Vi is sound asleep. He slowly slides out of the bed,
careful not to wake her. He grabs his shirt, pulling it on.
He glances back at the sleeping Vi, a look of regret on his
face.
FADE TO:
INT. FRANK'S APARTMENT - FRANK'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Frank and Tanya lay in bed. Tanya is on her side asleep.
Frank is on his back, shirtless, and arm behind his head as
he looks up at the ceiling and thoughtful look on his face.
