GRADUATION DAY PART 2

Buffy slowly gets up from the roof and climbs down the ladder. You see

Faith's shattered window were inside the mayor is examining her apartment.

Vampire: There's nobody here sir.

Mayor: They took the fight outside, my Faith doesn't like to be cooped up.

Put everyone on it, do it now.

Vampire: But sir the Ascension.

Mayor: Find them!

Vampire walks away.

Mayor: Faith's a good girl. She can take anything that will kill her. She's

gonna be all right. She'll be all right. She'll be all right.

Cut too opening.

Library

Xander: Any word from Buffy.

Giles: Not yet

Xander: Here's your coffee, brewed from the finest Colombia miter fluid.

Giles: Thank you. Horrible.

Xander: Aren't you suppose to be drinking tea anyway?

Giles: Tea is soothing, and I wish to be tense.

Xander: OK, but your destroying a perfectly good cultural stereo type here.

Giles: Look through the books, any reference to the demon might be called,

powers, weaknesses, hat sizes, there's gotta be something.

Xander: Still battin' zero? But I mean in cricket.

Cordelia walks in.

Xander: Cordi what's up?

Cordelia: I demand an explanation.

Xander: For what?

Cordelia: Wesley.

Xander: Huh, inbreeding?

Cordelia: So very funny, any minute I'm sure to laugh. I just got off the

phone, he could hardly speak he was so upset. He said there was something

about a fight and he's leaving the country.

Giles: Should I ask in remorse?

Cordelia: Just tell me what's going on.

Giles: Buffy's quite the council. She'll not be working with Wesley from now

on.

Cordelia: But he's her watcher.

Giles: Buffy no longer needs a watcher.

Cordelia: Does he have to leave the country? I mean you've got fired and you

still hang around like a big loser, why can't he?

Xander: Cordelia, were trying to stop a massacre here, wanna give us a hand?

Cordelia: Sure, this is such a Buffy thing to do. She's always thinking of

herself .

Cut to Angel, who's in a great deal of pain and lying on a bed. Willow wipes

his forehead to wipe the sweat.

Willow: Your awake.

Angel: You've been watching over me?

Willow nods. Angel takes her hand, and kisses it. Willow looks surprised.

Willow: Well we've been taking turns.

Angel: I thought I'd never see you again. I can't leave you. I was wrong, I

need you.

Willow: No, you mean you need Buffy.

Angel takes a closer look.

Angel: Willow?

Willow: Yes right, Willow!

Angel: Where's Buffy?

Willow: She'll be back soon.

Angel goes back to sleep, and Willow leaves the room. To Oz.

Oz: Any change?

Willow: He's delirious, he thought I was Buffy.

Oz: You too huh?

Willow: Yeah, I hope she gets here soon. She better.

Oz: Yeah.

Willow: I feel so, I feel so guilty.

Oz: Guilty?

Willow: Well things are so terrible, everything's coming apart and in some

ways it's the best part of my life.

Oz: The best.

Willow: The best

They start to kiss. The doors open Buffy walks in, they quickly stop. Buffy

looks like she's in a daze.

Willow: I just checked on him, just now.

Oz: Did you find Faith?

Willow: You didn't, she's not here?

Buffy: How is he?

Oz: He comes in and out, I think the pain is less now.

Buffy: Would you guys, I'd like to be alone with him.

Oz: Of course.

Him and Willow walk away.

Willow: Will try to find another cure.

Buffy: Thanks

Cut to Angel lying in bed, Buffy walks up and sits beside him.

Angel: What happened, Buffy?

She places her hand on his cheek.

Angel: It's you?

Buffy: It's me.

Angel smiles.

Angel: I didn't want to go, without seeing you.

Buffy: Angel I can cure you.

Angel: It's okay, I'm ready.

Buffy: Listen to me, sit up.

He tries to sit but can't.

Buffy: Your going to live. You have to live.

Angel: What do I…

Buffy: Drink.

She takes off her coat.

Buffy: Drink me.

Angel: No.

Buffy: It's the only way.

Angel: Get away.

He gets up.

Buffy: It will save you.

Angel: It will kill you.

Buffy: Maybe not. Not if you don't take it all.

Angel: You can't ask me to do that.

Buffy: I won't let you die, I can't. Angel the blood of a Slayer is the only

way.

Angel: Faith.

Buffy: I tried, I killed her.

Angel: Then it's over.

He walks out of the room, falling over a table. Buffy helps him up.

Buffy: It is never over! I won't let you die! Drink.

Angel: Please…

Buffy punches Angel. Then again, and again even harder. When he comes up he's

in his vampire form. She pulls down her shirt to leave room for the bite. And

pulls his head towards her neck. And Angel drinks. Buffy is in a lot of pain,

as he is eating. You see the blood pouring down the back her neck. They fall

to the ground, him still drinking. She is moaning. You here the blood coming

out. She grabs a tin pot and squeezes it into a different shape. She tries to

lift him off, but can't. She kicks the table down.

You see her face, she's confused, Angel is still eating. He rolls off, and

becomes human again. He gets up.

Angel: Buffy

She's unconscious.

Angel: Buffy.

You see the blood marks on her neck.

Angel rushes into the hospital with Buffy in his arms.

Angel: I need some help, she's lost a lot of blood. She needs blood.

Nurse: Ok, leave her here will take care of her.

Angel: She needs a transfusion.

Doctor: Is she unconsious?

Angel: Yes

Doctor: Are you sure?

Angel: Yes I'm sure.

Doctor: Ok, I need a tie. Get her on 2 lines with ringer's lacade and watch

for a shock.

He turns to Angel.

Doctor: Tell me what happened?

Angel: Something bit her, I don't know what.

Doctor: Ok, I need a rabbi shot treatment.

Any allergies?

Angel: None.

He seems frustrated and he rips off the handle of the door.

Angel: Just help her.

Doctor: You two been doing drugs? You want her to live, you have to be

straight with me.

Angel: She's clean.

Doctor: Alright, stand back let us work.

Angel: Bafoon.

Doctor: Right out there

..

Angel walks back slowly. Goes and puts a quarter in the pay phone.

In another room at the hopital. The doctor is talking to the mayor.

Doctor: Bones can be set, and damage to the kidney is reparable, but the head

trauma, it's, well it's simply to severe. It's a wonder she's alive at all.

I'm sorry sir, there's almost no chance that she's ever going to regain

consciousness.

You see Faith lying in the bed, all bruised up. The mayor puts his hand on

her head, and rubs her hair.

Mayor: It's your day.

Nurse to doctor: The young girl with severe blood loss, the doctor wants you

to practise an anti-cuberation.

Doctor: I'll be right there.

The mayor walks over to the other room where he see's Buffy. He takes her

chin, and moves it side ways and up and down. Looking for something.

Nurse: Oh my God, sir!

She tries to pull his hand away, but it won't move. It seems like he's trying

to kill her by blocking her air.

Nurse: Call security!

Angel comes and grabs the mayor away.

Angel: Don't do that!

Mayor: I will, I'll do even worse! Worthless little feed, do you see what she

did to my Faith!

Angel: Not many eyes will weep over that one.

Mayor: Well, I'd get set for some weeping if I were you. I'd get set for a

world of weeping. Misery loves company young man, and I'm going to share that

with you and your whore.

Angel takes him and throes him. He breaks the window.

Mayor: Well, it looks like someone's been eating his spinach. It's okay

folks, it's alright. The show's not over but there will be a short

intermission. Don't want to miss the second half. All kinds of excitement.

Angel: I'll be there.

The mayor leaves the room.

Angel is in the hall and Giles, Willow, Oz and Xander walk in.

Giles: How is she?

Angel: She's fine, she's sleeping.

Oz: Well you seem alright too.

Angel: Yeah.

Xander: What happened?

Willow: He's fine, did Faith?

Angel: Faith's out of the picture. Buffy put her help in. Buffy cured me.

Made me.

Giles: You fed off her?

Angel: Yes.

Giles: How much?

Angel: She's going to be fine.

Willow: She won't be a vampire?

Angel: No she didn't feed off me.

Xander: Well it's just good to know that when things are down, and things

look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you, to save your own ass.

Giles: You better go Angel, will watch over her.

Angel: No.

Giles: The sun will be up soon.

He leaves looking very sad.

Xander: Gosh, I'm really going to miss him when he leaves town.

Giles: Let's go check on Buffy.

They walk away.

You see Buffy walking in Faith's apartments, things all in boxes, nobody

around. A cat jumps onto the bed.

Buffy: Who's going to look after him?

Faith: It's a shame, aren't these things suppose to take care of themselves.

Buffy: I hear power guiding us.

Faith: Pretty sure that's not what I meant.

Buffy: There's something I'm suppose to be doing.

Faith: Yeah, miles to go. Little miss moffat counting down from seventh rio.

Buffy: Yeah riddles.

Faith: Sorry, it's my head, I'm all mixed up. There never going to fix this

are they?

(staring at the broken window)

Buffy: What about you?

Faith: Scar tissue. It fades, it all fades. You wanna know the deal? Human

weakness, never goes away even this.

Buffy: Is this your mind or mine?

Faith: Beats me. Getting towards that time.

Buffy: Where are you going to put all this stuff? (boxes)

Faith: Not gonna, it's yours.

Buffy: I can't use all this stuff.

Faith: Just take what you need, are your ready?

Buffy wakes up in her bed. Very confused. She gets up and walks over to

Faith's room, and kisses the poor girl on her head.

Cut too hallway where you see the gang waiting, Buffy approaches them.

Willow: Buffy

.. Xander: You ok?

Buffy: Is Angel here?

Oz: He had to go, it got kinda sunny.

Buffy: get him, get everyone

Xander: What exactly is up?

Giles: Buffy are you sure your alright?

Buffy: I'm ready

Willow: Ready for what? Buffy: War.

Cut to graduation hall where Snyder is holding a diploma. No one is there.

Cut to everyone (Giles, Buffy, Angel, Cordelia, Xander, Willow and Oz) in

library.

Buffy: That's the basic plan, am I crazy?

Willow: Crazy is such a strong word.

Giles: Let's not rule it out though.

Buffy: You don't think it can be done?

Giles: Well I didn't say that, it might but, yet…

Cordeliua: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier

plan.

Oz: We attack the mayor with bullets.

Cordelia: I stand correct.

Oz: Just keeping things in perspective.

Cordelia: Thank you. My point how ever is, crazy or not it's pretty much the

only plan. Besides it's Buffy's and she's slay gal. You know little miss

likes to fight. So…

Xander: I think there was a yay boat burried in there somewhere.

Buffy: I am going to need every single one of your arm port. Especially you

Xander your sorta the key figure here.

Xander: Me? Ok pride… humility… And here's the mine numbing fear… What do I

have to do?

Buffy: Do you remember any of your training when you became solder guy?

Xander: Oh yeah! Rocket launcher…

Buffy: Rocket launch is not going to get it done, it took a volcano to kill

one of these things last time remember?

Giles: Umm Buffy, uh all this is rather dependant on your being able to

control the mayor.

Buffy: Faith told me the plan is human weakness.

Willow: Faith told you? Before or after you put her in a coma?

Buffy: After.

Willow nods but she's very confused.

Giles: His weakness, which is?

Buffy: You know I do all this planning, I'm in charge here even though I'm

really not at my best…

Giles: Well let's, let's think.

Oz: Well Angel you know him the most is there something he hates?

Angel: He's not crazy about germs.

Cordelia: Of course, will attack him with germs!

Buffy: Great, will get him cornered and will sneeze on him!

Cordelia: No, no will get a container with a virus and, and or it doesn't

even have to be real, just a box that says virus on it and we can chase him.

With the box… Xander: I am starting to lean towards the homicide thing.

Oz: He'll never see it coming…

Angel: Faith…

Buffy: Faith?

Angel: At the hopital, the mayor is grieving, seriously crazed and not just

in a homicidal grieving. She's his weak link.

Wesley walks in.

Buffy: Faith, I can work that.

Giles: We haven't an enourmous amount of time.

Xander: Hey, it's Mr. Statsy on the obvious.

Buffy: The council is not welcome here, I have no time for orders. If I need

someone to scream like a woman I'll give you a call.

Wesley: I'm not here for the council. Just tell me how I can help.

Cordelia: That is so classy. Isn't he just so classy?

Buffy: It's a start.

Wesley: So there is something I can do? Besides scream like a woman.

Buffy: There's plenty, chores for anyone. Ok this is how it's going to lay

out…

Cut to mayor talking to his vampires.

Mayor: This is how it's going to lay out, transformation should begin at

exactly 3:28, I'll just be finishing my speech and you know, it's too bad you

fellows are gonna have to miss that. Because it speaks to everyone of us, I

mean heck, I've been working on it for 100 years it better be good. HA.

They'll try to run of course, I want you boys in flanking position.

Vampires: The sun?

Mayor: Not a problem.

Cut to library with the gang, Wesley is reading a paper.

Wesley: Darkness will follow and the day becomes night. Standard procedure

for an ascension?

Angel: That puts me back in the game.

Buffy: Yeah it does, you and Xander are going to have to work together now.

Think you can handle that?

Xander: I'm still key guy right?

Buffy: Right.

Xander: Great, then Angel is none key guy capacity, and work with me. Angel:

What fun…

Xander: Hey, key guy still talkin.

Buffy: Hey, that's good start bickering, that's going to work great for us.

She starts to walk off. And faces them.

Buffy: You guys are like little old ladies.

Cut too mayor with a plan. He's talking to his vampire men.

Mayor: You'll come up through the sewers here. The important thing here is

containment I'll need to feed, it's crucial in the first few minutes to

sustain the change. What does that mean? No snacking, if I see blood on your

lips, it's a visit to the wood shed for you boys. Kill, don't feed.

Cut too Buffy standing over Willow and Oz working on the her plan.

Buffy: How are we on volcano detail?

Oz: I think we can work it out.

Willow: With enough chemistry.

Buffy: Xander said he should be able to get the materials.

Oz: Who's going to stock it up?

Giles walks in beside Buffy. She turns to him.

Buffy: Do you feel up to it?

(to giles)

Giles: I suppose it should be I, it's strangely fitting it a grotesque

fashion.

Buffy: OK, guys, start reaching out.

She turns to Giles.

Buffy: Giles, weapons, weapons, weapons.

She starts to walk away.

Giles: What about you?

Buffy: There's something I need to get.

Cut to mayor with his vampires.

Mayor: Remember, fast and brutal. It's going to be hole new world come

nightfall I don't want to weaken now. And boys, let's watch the swearing.

Cut too students in hallway. Xander walks around the corner, sorta in a

hurry. He walks up to Harmony who's talking with all the popular girls.

Xander: Harmony listen, I need to talk to you.

Harmony: You mean in front of people?

She looks annoyed and he grabs her by the arm and drags her away.

Cut too the cafeteria where Percey (guy Willow helped) is has on his

graduation robe. He's talking to another guy.

Percey: Are they serious? I'm going to look stupid.

You see Willow rush in.

Willow: Percey.

He faces her.

Percey: Do I look stupid in this thing? be honest.

Willow: No you look great, you got a sec?

Cut too Cordelia in library putting books back on the shelf. Wesley doing the

same thing on the other side. There alone.

They glance at each other, but neither says a word. It's rather awkward for

both of them. Finally Wesley speaks.

Wesley: Cordelia.

Cordelia answers quickly.

Cordelia: Yes.

Wesley: You know that, when this is over.

Cordelia: Yes…

Wesley: Umm, well… Should we prevail, I'll be going back to England.

She turns back to the shelf and continues with the books.

Cordelia: I know.

Buffy: Buffy no longer working for the council, there's really no place for

me here.

She turns back to face him, she approaches him and answers in a teary voice.

Cordelia: I guess not.

They stare at each other.

Wesley, No, no reason to stay.

They approach some more.

Cordelia: No.

He removes his glasses, they're really close.

Wesley: No cause to hope… that, that I might be needed. Or wanted…

Cordelia: Wanted…

They lean forward, she puts her hand on his shoulder and they start to make

out. It's very weird cause Wesley seams to not want to put his hand on her.

Suddenly they stop, look at each other. Cordeilia wipes her mouth. And they

start again, weirder then the first time.

Cordelia: Good luck in England.

Wesley: Yes, I'll uh, I'll drop you a line sometime.

Cordelia: That would be neat.

Wesley chuckles. They turn away, pretty much all attraction for each other

has gone away. They continue putting books on the shelves.

Cut too a boy and Larry loading dynamite from Oz's van, they load it into a

shopping cart. Willow and Oz are handing the bags.

Oz: Put these with the others, don't touch anything.

Boy: Well, what do we do then?

Oz: Nothing.

Willow: Just relax. Have a good time.

Boy: Uh, ok.

Larry: K, it's clear let's move.

They shut the van door and run off with the cart. Willow and Oz are alone

inside the van.

Willow: I guess that's it. Won't be long now.

Oz: You nervous?

Willow: Only in a terrified way.

He takes her hand.

Oz: Were going to make it through this.

Willow looks afraid.

Willow: Are you sure?

Oz: I sound pretty sure don't I?

Willow: Yeah.

Oz: Will then I must be sure.

Willow: Is that just a comforting way of not answering the question?

Oz says nothing. They lean forward and kiss.

Willow: How long till graduation?

Oz: A little while…

They continue to make out.

Cut too library, Buffy walks into a room where Angel is taking out weapons.

Angel: Did you get what you needed?

Buffy: Yeah, I did. This isn't going to be enough. (talking about the weapons

he took out)

Angel: Yeah, Giles is on it.

Buffy starts to walk out, but Angel asks her.

Angel: How are you?

Buffy: I heal fast. Like you…

Pause of silence.

Buffy: So are we sure everyone's good with the positions…

She is interrupted by Angel.

Angel: I'm not going to say goodbye.

Buffy looks afraid. Angel turns to her.

Angel: If we get through this I'm just going to go. You understand.

Buffy looks like she's going to cry.

Angel: There's just too much too…

Buffy puts her hand up to stop him from saying anymore. Angel walks away.

Buffy is very sad. She unrolls the a cloth that contains Faith's knife, it

still has her blood. Since Buffy used it too kill Faith.

Cut too graduation ceremony when the students are sitting down. The gang

looks a little nervous. Snyder is at the microphone.

Snyder: Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less

antiquate. This is a time of celebration so site still and be quiet.

He mutters:

Snyder: Spit out that gum. Please welcome are distinguish guest speaker,

Richard Wilkins III.

Once again mutters to a student:

Snyder: I saw that gesture, you'll see me after graduation.

He starts to clap and everyone joins in. You see Willow and Oz run in after

there make out session in his van. Willow sits beside Buffy.

Willow: Am I late?

She puts on her hat. The mayor stands up, gets out his cue cards. He clears

his throat.

Mayor: Well, what a day this is, it's a special day. Today is our centennial

our 100 anniversary of the founding of Sunnydale, and I now what that means

to all you kids: Not a darn thing. Cause today something much more important,

you all graduated from high school, all the pain, all the work, all the

excitement is finally over. What's 100 years of history compared to that?

Cut too Buffy.

Buffy: Oh my God, he's going to due the entire speech.

Willow: Man, just ascend already.

Buffy: Evil.

Back to Mayor, who had still been talking.

Mayor: It's been a long road getting here, for you for Sunnydale. There's

been achievement, you, good times and there's been grieve, there's been loss..

Some people who should be here today, aren't.

Cut too Buffy looking afraid.

Back to mayor.

Mayor: But we are. Journeys end, but what is a journey? Is it just distance

traveled, time spent, no. It was happens on the way, it's the things that

shape you. At the end of a journey your not the same. And today is about

change, graduation doesn't just mean your circumstances change, it means you

do.

You see all the faces of the students Xander looks bored. The mayor

continues.

Mayor: You ascend to a higher level, nothing will ever be the same. Nothing.

All of a sudden the sun seems to be blocked out and the students look around,

it turns dark. The mayor starts to get weak as he grasps for air. He tries to

continue.

Mayor: And so as we look back on…

He has another attack. The students get afraid.

Mayor: on the events that brought us to this day…

Another attack. Back to Buffy who's getting anxious.

Buffy: Common…

The mayor goes on.

Mayor: We, we must all…

He lets our a cry… All the students are terrified now and Snyder wants to

know what's happening.

Mayor: Let us begot my destiny. It's a little sooner then I expected, I had

this hole section on civic pride. But I guess will just skip to the big

finish.

Buffy and Willow look at each other.

The mayor starts to transform. He becomes a snake like monster with a long

neck. The students stand up, but do not run. The mayor roars. He is bigger

then ever.

The parents in the back get up and run, but the students stay there. You see

the band of vampires come up and form a line.

Buffy: Now!

All the students take off their robes to reveal hundreds of kids armed. They

point their weapons at the deamon.

Buffy: Flame units.

The boys in the front take out big fire arms and start to shoot the mayor. He

gets upset. Buffy signals Xander.

Xander: First wave!

Several other students including Willow take out sort of guns.

Xander: Fire!

They fire along with the flame units.

Xander continues to lead the battle.

Buffy is stunned by everything.

Cut to Snyder who is really mad.

Snyder: This is simply not expectable.

A few students run down the steps, but get caught by the vampires waiting. Oz

who is at the back of the room watches in horror.

Oz: Xander!!!

Xander: Bowmen!

All the people with a bow and arrow pick it up.

Xander: Fire!

They start to fire killing a few of the vampires. The rest run away, only to

find Angel, Wesley and other students waiting for them with crosses and

stakes. There trapped. They start to fight.

Cut back to the students.

Larry is starting to fire is fire arm but it doesn't work. The monster eats

him.

Back outside Angel is punching out a few vampires.

Back to Snyder still beside the monster.

Snyder: This is not orally, this is not discipline. Your on my campus buddy.

When I say I want quiet I mean…

He is eaten by the monster.

Buffy and Xander watch it horror.

Buffy: Get back!!

She turns to Willow.

Buffy: Go.

Willow: Good luck.

Buffy: Xander take them down.

Xander: Everyone hand to hand. Move, move.

Angel is still fighting the vampires, there are so many of them. One vampire

yells out:

Vampire: Get the kids!

But as soon as he does that, out come running all the students, 100s of them..

The vampire tries to grab some of them, he gets Harmony. Wesley is lying on

the floor.

Wesley: Could we get some help here?

Back to Buffy alone with the deamon.

Buffy: Hey! Your remember this?

(She has the knife in her hand)

Buffy: I took it from Faith, stuck it in her gut. Just slid in her like she

was butter. You want to get it back from me dick?

She takes off running. Into the school, into the library. Where there are

tons of explosives waiting for the monster. Buffy keeps running and jumps out

the window.

Monstre: Oh gosh.

Outside Giles pushes the button and the hole school blows up. With the

monster inside.

It catch's everyone's attention.

The police and fire fighters are outside. Wesley is on a stretcher.

Wesley: Oh, oh gosh. If I could just get something for the pain. It's not a

lot of pain actually, asprin, anyone… Perhaps I could just go back on campus.

He is loaded into the ambulance.

Buffy and Xander walking beside each other, around the fire trucks.

Xander: We got off pretty cheap considering…

Buffy: Seams like we did.

Xander: He made it through the fight. I guess maybe he took off after.

Xander leaves Buffy. Giles walks up to her.

Giles: You alright?

Buffy: I'm tired.

Giles: I could image so, it's been quite a couple of days.

Buffy: I haven't prossed everything yet. My brain isn't really functioning on

the highest level, it's pretty much fire badge pretty.

Giles: Understandable, well congratulations on a good campaign you did very

well.

Buffy: Thank you. I will.

Giles: I saved this for the records, it may not do much too you but, uh I say

you've earned it.

He hands her, her diploma.

Giles: There's a certain dramatic hourly to all this. Synchronicity that is

born on free disunity one might say.

Buffy: Fire badge.

Giles: Let's go to the tent to see Wesley and if he's still whimpering.

Buffy turns around to see Angel. They just stand there. No one says a word.

There is so much pain in their eyes. He turns around and walks off. Buffy

watches him until she can see no more of her love.

Back in front of the school, Cordelia walks up to Xander, Willow and Oz.

Cordelia: Well, that was most fun you could have, without having any fun.

Willow: What about the part when we kicked some deamon ass? I didn't hate

that.

Xander: Here, here.

Buffy walks up to them.

Buffy: You guys wanna take off? I think we've pretty much done everything we

can.

Cordelia: I'm for it.

Willow: Are you ok?

Buffy: Yeah, I'm ok. I could use a little sleep though. If someone could just

wake me when it's time to go to college, that would be great.

Oz: Guys, take a moment, we survived.

Buffy: One hell of a battle.

Oz: Not the battle, high school.

They all pause.

Oz: I'm taking a moment.

Willow and Buffy get up.

Oz: And were done.

They walk off.

Xander: Yup, were done, that is so cool.

Then you see a year book reading:

Sunnydale High 99

The future is ours.

Fade black.
