Open with a pan around the Statue of Liberty on a sunny day. Flash to a pan over Manhattan’s busy streets. Flash to outside the Centre as cars drive past. Fade to the sign on the door that says "Closed for Private Party" Fade to inside the centre.
We pan over to Alex and James looking over a group of high school students dancing to some music but most of them are looking at a boy with a baseball bat swinging it around like he's drunk. Pan back to Alex and James who are shaking their heads
Alex - The whole "getting a car" idea was put to bed after that charity fiasco. Why did I agree to renting out the centre again?
James - The money
Alex - Oh yeah.
James - If you and Eve aren't getting a car why is Eve learning how to drive?
Alex - Jeff thought it would be a good idea. He offered to teach her. All I can say is better him then me.
James - Why is that?
Cut to out side the centre. A car goes speeding past.
Jeff's Voice - NO EVE NO!!
Cut back to the centre. The boy with the baseball bat suddenly puts a hole into the wall and the kids start laughing.
Alex - Oh no!
Alex and James run down to the main level where the kids are laughing. James grabs a few pop and water bottles from them. He takes a sniff of the liquid
James - It's alcohol
Alex - This was supposed to be a no drinking party.
Girl - This is my party. We can do what we want. I paid for this place
Alex - No, your "Daddy" paid to rent this place and it's under the agreement there would be no alcohol. Agreement broken, party's off.
Boy with bat - No way Bitch
The Boy swings the bat at Alex and just as he brings it down on her head Alex catches it with one hand. The boy pulls at the bat trying to get it free from her grasp but with no avail.
Boy - What the?
Alex - Bad move Sparky (Pulls the bat from the boy's grasp) Time to go!
Girl - No way. There's more of us then you and I say we stay!
Group of teenagers - Yeah!
Voice of a man - No!
Everyone turns around. A tall dark haired man in a suit and a faint Scottish accent comes in
Girl - (sighs and rolls her eyes)Just like Daddy to send his lawyer
Man - He asked me to check in. He knows your proclivity for illegal behavior and you didn't disappoint. It's time to leave. Now!
The kids don't move
Man - (forcefully with restrained anger) Move or all of you will be trading in your cars for garbage bags. You'll need them for the community service I'll arrange for all of you as punishment for your underage drinking!
All the teenagers groan and walk out of the centre. Alex just stands there dumbstruck. Until James nudges her.
Alex - Uh! Thanks.
Man - (turns around and smiles) Aidan MacDonald.
Alex - I'm Alex.
James - (offers) The owner.
Alex - (remembers) Yes! Yes, I am the owner.
Aidan - Nice to meet you. I am very sorry about all of this. Children of the privileged seem to have little respect for anything, despite consequences. I'll make sure you are compensated for any damages they inflicted upon your property. (checks his phone as it vibrates.) Would you excuse me for a moment?
Alex - Huh?
Aidan - My phone. (lifts up his cell phone) I have to take this.
James nudges Alex again
Alex - Yeah, sure. Of course
Aidan smiles and walks off and Alex just lets her mouth drop. James just shakes his head smiling.
Cut to Aidan at the bar.
Aidan - (whispers) Her friend is here just like you said. I think I can work with that.
Aiden discreetly takes out his wallet from his jacket pocket and casually leaves it on the counter top.

Cut to out side the centre. A car screeches to a stop as it drives up on the side walk. Close up of Eve and Jeff in the car. Eve is smiling but Jeff looks like he's going to be sick
Eve - I think that went well.
Jeff runs out of the car into the centre. Eve just rolls her eyes and gets out of the car. She looks at a couple walking past holding hands and smiling
Eve(voice over commentary) - Love. It's a powerful emotion. Once upon a time I would have sworn it meant nothing to me. Ares presented me with a choice and I chose power because I thought love could be commanded. I wonder where I would have been if I had have known enough about true love to choose it? Could it have saved me? Is love enough to save anyone?
Cut to inside the centre as Jeff runs past Alex and James to the bathrooms.
Alex - Oh, Eve must be back.
James and Alex smile as they walk up to Aidan who has just finished on the phone.
Aidan - Forgive my rudeness
Alex - (smiles nervously) Its fine.
Aidan - I really feel we should talk about the damages done to your establishment. Perhaps we can work out an agreement
Alex - (nods dumbly)Sure
Aidan - (takes out a card and hands it to Alex) My card. Please, don't hesitate to call.
Aidan gives a smile and a wink and walks out
Alex - Come again!( Alex stops herself in embarrassment at her own words) Come again? What is wrong with me?
Cut to outside the centre. Aidan walks out. Eve's back is to him and she thinks it's Jeff
Eve - I was beginning to wonder if you were coming out aga . . .( Turns around and turns white at the sight of Aidan) Tristan?
Flashback
Cut to Ancient Britannia. Livia and her troops are walking past Celtic men who are dressed in plaid and armor. The men have long hair and their faces are dirty but they stand tall and proud. Around them dead bodies lay. Livia looks at them with disgust but smirks at the sight.
Livia - You fought well but in vain. However, we are impressed by your bravery and so we will spare your lives. In return we offer you positions in our army. You will fight for Rome or you will die at the hands of Rome.
Man - (thick Scottish accent) We will never join the likes of you. You will have to kill us. It would be a better fate.
Livia - And who are you?
Man - I am Tristan son of Isaac
Livia - Well Tristan son of Isaac (Livia pulls out a knife and throws it square in the chest of the man behind Tristan. He falls down dead) Don't tempt me.
Livia walks to her tent as soon as she gets inside Tristan lets out a roar of rage. He punches out a guard and takes his sword. He stabs the sword into the chest of another guard and slices the head off of another and runs to the tent. Another Roman guard steps in his way. Tristan stabs the guard in the foot with his sword then grabs the guard by the neck and takes him inside Livia's tent.
Inside Livia's tent Livia whips around angry when he just barges in. They stare each other dead in the eyes and Tristan snaps the neck of the guard. Livia curls her lip as the guard falls dead on the ground. Tristan pants heavily and Livia smiles cruelly. They look into each other's eyes before more Roman soldiers run into the tent and take hold of Tristan.
Livia - No! Leave us! Take the corpse with you.
The Romans salute Livia and pick up the dead body and drag him out. Livia and Tristan are alone.
Livia - Who do you think you are?
Tristan - One who will not be under the rule of someone like you
Livia - Wrong. You're a dead man
Livia kicks him in the stomach she goes to kick Tristan again but he grabs her foot. Livia just jumps up and kicks him in the face causing Tristan to let go of her other foot
Tristan - (state of shock) How do you know such moves? You are a woman
Livia - Wrong again. I am the Champion of Rome.
Livia goes to punch him but he blocks all her advances. Tristan goes to kick her but she also blocks him. Livia charges at him but he does the move that soon will become remembered as Livia's trademark move. Livia lands on her stomach stunned. As she gets up she is pushed on to her back as she finds a sword at her neck.
Tristan - Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you
Livia -I can give you more as to why you should but maybe we can find a reason why you shouldn't
Livia looks up at him with a lustful stare and leads back on her elbows and gets in to a seductive position.
Tristan takes the sword away from her neck hesitantly and Livia smirks as she stands up
Tristan - Don't look at me that way you manipulative Bitch!
Livia - Savage!
Tristan - Whore!
Livia - Animal!
Tristan screams out loud and moves to punch her but Livia grabs his arm and throws him on to the ground and she straddles him. She leads down and kisses him lightly on the cheek moving to his ear
Livia - Join my amry and I will make my second in command.
Tristan - Why would I want to do that?
Livia - (sighs as she sits up. She looks down at him) You want your lands, keep them. You want your people free, you can rule over them all. Convince your people to side with the Romans and you will be the most powerful man in all Britannia.
Tristan - And what do you get out of this
Livia - (laughs seductively)The pleasure of your company. Perhaps you can even teach me some moves
Tristan - I think I might need some more convincing.
Tristan rolls on top of Livia in a quick move and they kiss passionately
End Flashback
Eve just stares back at Aidan not knowing what to think.
Aidan - Excuse me?
Eve - Tristan?
Aidan - I'm sorry you have the wrong man!
Aidan walks to his convertible and gets in. Eve just stares at him in utter disbelief.
COMMERCIAL
Cut to inside the centre. Alex is looking at a picture of her and Craig. James comes up beside her.
James - Thinking about Craig?
Alex - Always.
James - (tries to turn the conversation) I think that lawyer has a thing for you.
Alex - Yeah? (tries to shrug it off) Maybe.
James - (snorts) I think more than maybe. I think you like him too.
Alex - Oh he's attractive, no argument there, but I'm not really good with relationships or dating or well, people really. And demon hunting isn't the most glamorous or honest job. You tend to cling to those who know the truth. You don't have to worry about ruining things by keeping secrets or worry about the ones you love getting hurt.
James - Sounds lonely
Alex - I never felt that way. I've always had Craig and now there's Eve. But lately I've been wondering what it'd be like to give up being a demon hunter and live a normal life. Aidan is the kind of guy I could see myself having a life with. (shakes her head) What am I talking about? I only just met the guy and I'm planning my wedding?
James - (shrugs) There's no harm in just calling the guy. Give it a shot, see where it goes. You might be surprised.
Alex - (holds up the photo) And what if I want to give up being a hunter to settle down? Just thinking about the notion makes me feel like I'm betraying Craig and his memory.
James - Alex, it's okay to want things like a life and a family. It doesn't make you a bad person. Craig would want you to be happy. So give the guy a call. Get out there any have fun. You don't have to mourn all the time.
Alex thinks about it for a moment and then smiles
Eve walks into the centre. She's stunned.
Alex - Eve?
Eve - Who was that man?
Alex - You mean the total hottie who was just here? Aidan MacDonald (holds up his card) Lawyer.
Eve grabs the card out of Alex's hand and looks it over.
Alex- What's with you? You look like you've seen a ghost!
Eve - I think I have.
Fade from Eve to demon hunting that night. Alex and Eve are walking on along the cemetery grounds.
Eve - It was a flash from the past and not in a good way at all.
Alex - When are your blasts from the past ever good? I mean Ares, Livia, Lucifer.
Eve - I swear it was him.
Alex - Maybe it just looks like him. Think about it now, Tristan lived 2000 years ago.
Eve - So did I and stranger things have happened
Alex and Eve hear two different screams coming from two different directions.
Alex - Let's split up!
Eve nods and goes running in the direction of one scream while Alex goes the other way.
Cut to Eve running through the cemetery jumping over head stones. She sees a man being attacked by a demon. Eve runs over to the man just as He jumps up and does Livia's classic move. He flips the demon over and jumps up, brings out a sword and slices the demon's head off. Eve is stunned. The man turns around. It's Aidan. He smirks. Eve sees the sword he's carrying
Flashback
Livia watches Tristan training with the other men. He knocks several of them down. He turns around and smiles at her as he swings his clan sword around.
End Flashback
Eve sees the clan sword he's holding.
Aidan - (Out of breath) Livia. I wasn't expecting you. I was hoping to run into Alex
Eve - (breathless) I knew it was you. You're supposed to be . . .
Aidan - Dead? Oh yes Tristan is dead. You killed him long ago. It's Aidan now
Eve - Well as long as were getting names straight you should know that Livia is dead as well. My name is Eve
Aidan - Really?
Eve - What do you want?
Aidan - You ruined my life. Now I'm going to ruin yours. How's Alex by the way?
Eve - You stay away from her! I'm going to tell her all about you. I'll tell everyone
Aidan - (laughs) You try to expose me and I'll deny it. And who do you think people will believe? Me, a respected citizen, or you, a crazy woman talking about a man from the past coming to kill you? Even your own friend will turn against you.
Aidan laughs and walks off. Eve is shaken and does not know what to do.
Eve walks back to the point where she left Alex and finds her waiting there.
Alex - False alarm on my end. What about you?
Eve just walks past Alex not saying anything. Alex looks at her curiously not knowing what to say to a very shaken up Eve.
Cut to the next day. Eve is in her apartment. She paces looking very nervous. James walks in and sees this.
James - Hey, Alex said you were pretty upset. What's going on?
Eve - (stops) How much to you know about Aidan?
James - (shrugs)The layer? Not much, I mean apart from what I see on television. The guy is one the most sought out lawyers, best in the state. I think he's like a fixer, working for politicians and tycoons. He was awarded citizen of the year once. His clients aside, he seems like a nice enough guy. Alex is in to him too.
Eve- What?
James - Yeah and he was making eyes at her as well.
Eve - He is after her! But why?
James - I told her she should give him a call
Eve - Why would you do that?!!!
James - What you mean?
Eve - That man is dangerous.
James - (walks over to Eve and tries to calm her down) What's the problem?
Eve - (bats his hand away) You don't know what you've done
James - Eve.
Eve just shakes her head and turns away. James takes her arm.
Flashback
Cut to a battle field. The Romans and the Celts are charging together. Flashes of plaid and Roman armor flash past. They are attacking the rebel forces. Heading the fight is Tristan. He swings his sword around slashing soldiers left and right. Livia rides in on her horse. Slashing solders as she rides through. She flips off her horse and stabs a soldier in the chest as she lands. Tristan and Livia are pressed back to back. They look at each other and smile.
Flash to Livia's tent where Tristan and Livia are looking intently into each other's eyes smiling. They are both covered in dirt and blood
Flash back to the battle field. Livia stabs a soldier in the stomach with her sword and kicks him off. Tristan cuts the head off of another soldier with a vicious roar.
Flash to Livia's tent. Tristan lets out a low growl as Livia takes off his armor. He turns around and grabs Livia and kisses her. He grips her arms tight
Flash to the battle field. Tristan slashes soldiers in the chest. He grabs on man turns him around and slits his throat. Livia gets her arm cut by one man. She turns around and kicks the sword out of his hand them punches him down. She brings her sword down on his head and kills him.
Flash back to Livia's tent. Livia pushes Tristan away then punches him. She then grabs his head and pulls him in for a searing kiss
Interchange scenes where there is a battle and Livia and Tristan are fighting being covered in the blood as they slash and stab and decapitate soldiers to scenes where Livia and Tristan are in bed kissing
Flash to the battlefield Livia and Tristan stab a Briton soldier at the same time.
Flash back to Livia's tent. Tristan falls on top of Livia in bed. Both Livia and Tristan a sweaty and gasping for air. Tristan rolls off Livia. Both are smiling.
Livia - You are a savage!
Tristan just laughs
Livia - We're planning another attack. Will your men be ready?
Tristan - Always
Livia - A lover and a fighter. I can't wait to take you back to Rome and show you off
Tristan sighs and rolls out of bed. He begins to put on his cloths
Livia - (frowns) That's what you want isn't it? To come back with me to Rome? You could get medals of valor for your service. You can become an actual Commander of a Roman Legion.
Tristan - I'm not a Roman Livia
Livia - You could have me. Completely
Tristan - (sighs) I know you have to go back to Rome to report to the Emperor but couldn't you come back and be with me
Livia - (looks at him in disgust) And become a farmers wife? I'm the adopted daughter of the Emperor. Rome is my home!
Tristan - And Britannia is mine!!
Livia - (gets up and wraps the blanket around her) Well maybe we can travel together. Claim more land for Rome
Tristan - This land isn't part of Rome Livia. That wasn't part of the deal.
Livia - This is all just a deal to you!
Tristan - I meant the part where we fight along side Rome. We fight for you as long as we keep our lands and our heritage
Livia - As Romans! But what about us, don't you want to be together? Wouldn't you do anything for us.
Tristan - I don't know if I want to give up my identity and my home just for us.
Tristan walks out of the tent leaving Livia with a death glare on his retreating back.
End Flashback
James pulls away from Eve in shock
James - What the hell was that!
James backs toward the door
Eve - Did you see something?
James - Your past. Aidan was there but . . . he wasn't . . .
Eve - It was Tristan. Aidan is Tristan. He's immortal somehow.
James - I don't understand any of this
Eve - (grabs on to James) Aidan is not who is says he is. You have to help me convince Alex to stay away from him
James - (pries her hands of him) I saw a lot more then you think. You were in love with him? Are you still?
Eve - It's not like that. It was never like that.
James - Just back off. I . . . I need time.
James walks out of Eve's apartment. Eve sits down on her couch upset and puts her head in her hands
COMMERCIAL
Cut to the centre downstairs. James runs out past Alex and Jeff.
Alex - Hey! Where are you going? (turns to Jeff) What is it with people lately?
Aidan - Excuse me?
Alex turns around and smiles at the sight of Aidan. Jeff looks from Aidan to Alex. He smiles a little bit and looks the other way
Alex - Hi. Oh, I was hoping you'd be back
Aidan - Really?
Alex - (realizes what she said) I mean, you left your wallet. Sorry (Pulls in out of her pant pocket) Here it is.
Aidan - You kept it in your pocket?
Alex - Yeah! For safe keeping. There are sticky fingers around here you know.(smiles)
Aidan - I can't believe I left here. I don't even know how it could have fallen out of my pocket. Thank you for looking after it.
Alex - Oh (blushes) You're welcome
Aidan - I don't mean to sound so forward but would you like to join me for dinner?
Alex - Yes! . . . I mean, sure. That would be nice
Aidan - Shall I pick you up here for seven?
Alex - Yeah.
Aidan - See you at seven (winks)
As Aidan leaves Alex turns around and pumps a yes in the air. Jeff just eyes her strangely
Alex - Wait a sec! It's four o clock. I have exactly three hours to look better then I ever have in my life. Got to go. Tell Eve to lock up
Alex takes off out of the centre. Jeff just shakes his head and goes upstairs to check on Eve.
Cut to Eve's apartment. Jeff knocks on the door and Eve answers
Eve - Hi
Jeff - Hi. Are you okay? James left pretty suddenly. Did you guys have a fight?
Eve - James and his visionary powers caught a glimpse of a memory from my past.
Jeff - So?
Eve - It was a memory of a past lover
Jeff - Yikes!
Eve - It gets worse. The man he saw is immortal. He's here now in New York. And he wants to ruin me, kill me maybe
Jeff - Why?
Eve - For what I did to him and his people when I was Livia?
Jeff - Livia? I just thought your were a prophet for Eli in the past
Eve - You don't know my whole story. If you set aside a few hours I'll tell you about it some time.
Jeff - I have time tonight. Oh, by the way Alex left early to prepare for a date. She wants you to lock up
Eve - (getting worried) Date? With who? Please don't say Aiden!
Jeff - What's wrong?
Eve - That's Tristan! My crazy ex lover, who's returned from the dead to kill me
Jeff - (shakes his head) What the hell kind of life did you lead?
Eve - (looks to Jeff exasperated) Aiden is Tristan! He's after me he's going to hurt Alex in the process!
Jeff - (grabs on to her) Hold on a second. If what you're saying is true we can't just go spreading that kind of thing around. This guy is well known and well respected.
Eve - I know! He threatened me last night. And from what James has told me I'm sure he has people like "The Mayor" backing him up!
Jeff - How do you know he's got an angle with Alex?
Eve - He insinuated enough last night. What if he hurts her? Please Jeff, you have to believe me.
Jeff - (nods) I do. I also don't believe Aidan's so squeaky clean either. I did a case involving him a while back. But we need something to back up what you say so we can get Alex back on your side.
Eve - We've got to do something and fast.
Jeff - Just a minute. I had a thought (Goes over to Eve's computer and opens up a police investigations site and brings up Aidan's profile with a picture) Is this your guy?
Eve - That's him! How did he get on here?
Jeff - We keep track off all leads on cases we do. Two years ago I was working on a case. We were thinking a murder that had just happened recently might be linked to a murder that happened thirty years ago because of the similarities.
Eve - What happened thirty years ago?
Jeff - A recluse billionaire named Aidan Macdonald was murdered. When I brought up the old case I found he was linked to a Declan Green. Declan was thought to have murdered Aidan to get ahold of his money. (brings up the profile of Declan. The man is identical to the current Aidan) However, Declan died a few days later and since he was the only lead the case went cold and was dropped.
Eve - What happened to the fortune?
Jeff - A distant relative also named Aidan MacDonald inherited it.
Eve - Interesting
Jeff - As it turns out this case has nothing to do with the one I was working on but it did have to do with another case of a Declan Green being murdered fifty years prior. It was thought that Declan Green's Butler, Patrick Tennant killed him but Patrick disappeared and Declan's estranged son also named Declan Green inherited his father's fortune
Eve - So?
Jeff - You're not going to believe this
Jeff brings up Patrick Tennant's photo and it is identical to Declan Green and Aidan MacDonald.
Eve - They are all Tristan! How come you've never brought any of this up to the other officers.
Jeff - It wasn't pertinent to the current case. I was told to let it go. At best, it was identity theft. But I do think that these cases are linked together by more than coincidence.
Eve - (nods piecing together the puzzle)Tristan couldn't have lived all this time as the same man. He had to hide, he had to assume new identities, new fortunes. He'd lay low with an unassuming identity, kill the man he worked for or got close to, then assume a new identity gaining the fortune of the man he killed.
Jeff - We're dealing with more than a murderer here. We're dealing with . . .
Eve - An immortal. One who wants revenge and one who's dating Alex!!(makes a move to leave)
Jeff - No! Eve, he's meeting with Alex soon. I need to get to her first with this information. I'll warn her. You stay here and lock yourself in.
Eve - But . . .
Jeff - Aiden Macdonald is well known in this city. He's also a successful lawyer. At the drop of a hat, he could get you locked up. We have to be careful about how we handle this and you need to stay safe. I'll bring Alex here, we'll figure out what to do from there.
Eve nods her head and Jeff leaves.
Cut to outside the centre just as Jeff leaves. After he leaves Aidan comes out of the shadows from behind the building. He walks over to the entrance and looks up at the building.
Flashback
Tristan sits at a fire looking at Livia's tent from across the way. A fellow soldier walks up to him
Man - Are you sure you want to do this?
Tristan - Yes. She can give us everything we desire. If I pretend to ally myself with Rome and insinuate myself among them we could learn how they work and we can take over Rome. Then we'd be the dominant empire!
Man - And would you be Emperor?
Tristan - (shrugs) It would be only right. But we could get our lands back and our people will be free and powerful and wealthy beyond all our wildest dreams.
Man - You are weaving a tangled web Tristan. You are treading on unsafe grounds. If you follow through with this deception to get what you desire it will be your destruction.
Tristan - I am doing this for our people
Man - We don't want what you want. We want freedom. You want power and glory. You are doing this for yourself and you are giving up your heritage to do so.
Tristan - (shakes his head and gets up) I'll remember this when I'm ruling over Britannia and you are dead!
Tristan walks over to Livia's tent and enters.
Cut to inside the tent as Tristan's eyes adjust to the dim lighting. He hears Livia laughing. He looks over to see her lying with a dark haired man in black leather.
Tristan - Livia!!
The dark haired man disappears in a flash of blue light and lightening. Livia wraps a blanket around her bare form and looks at Tristan with an annoyed look.
Livia - What do you want?
Tristan - Who was that!?!(picks up a silver gauntlet)
Livia - Ares the God of War
Tristan - Was he? . . Were you . . .? (Livia just nods with no remorse) What about us?
Livia - Us? Ha! There was never any us. There is only power. You knew this as well as I. All we had was a deal.
Tristan - (tries to think quick using emotion to worm his way back in favor)I didn't mean between us. I would have given up everything I am for you. Doesn't that mean anything?
Livia - Only that you are a fool and so easy to con
Tristan - I would have given everything to you!
Livia - You don't have anything anymore. I have all I want from you and Ares has offered me more.
Tristan - YOU USED ME!! JUST TO GET A HOLD OF MY LANDS!!! WELL YOU WON'T KEEP IT!!
Livia - YOU'RE GOING TO STOP ME!?
Tristan - Damn right I will!
Livia - You're a fool Tristan!
Tristan - And you're a dead woman!
Tristan storms out of the tent with the look of murder on his face
End Flashback
Cut to inside the centre. Eve runs out from the backroom with a sword in her hand ready to lock the centre door. Before she reaches the door Aidan barges in with a dark look on his face. Eve stops dead in her tracks and inches back when seeing Aidan.
Aidan - Hello Livia
Eve - My name is Eve
Aidan - Changing your name does not change what you have done.
Eve - I could say the same about you. I know about those men you murdered.
Aidan - For two thousand years I've walked this earth damned and alone. I took comfort in thinking that maybe you suffered with an excruciating death but here you are alive and comfortable without any pain or shame over what you did.
Eve - You're wrong. Everyday I have to deal with what I did as Livia and I'm sorry for what I did to you. I regret everything that happened between us.
Aidan - Regret? What do you know about regret? After you burned my village and two other villages I was shunned from my home! I was regarded as a demon and a traitor. They said . . . they said by trying to find a way to take over Rome I would damn myself . . .
Eve - What?
Aidan - But they were wrong! You, like the demon you are, tempted me, used me to gain my homeland and then . . . then you ruined me.
Eve - Tristan . . .
Aidan - TRISTAN IS DEAD!!! And that's all thanks to you and that bastard Ares. But I took care of him and with you dead my revenge will be complete
Eve - I am sorry for the pain I've caused you. If I could make up for it . . .
Aidan - (laughs in a crazy way) I was told that you would try to convince me that you've changed, that you were some sort of prophet of peace and non violence. And yet, here you are with a sword!
Eve throws the sword over to the door.
Eve - Fine. You want revenge, here I am.
Aidan walks over to her and looks her straight in the eye then punches her in the face.
Eve lay on the ground moaning for a moment and as she gets up on her hands and knees Aidan kicks her in the stomach. She screams gasping for air.
Aiden - What did you think was going to happen? That I was going to give up and go home?
Aidan comes around to Eve's head to kick her there but Eve flips up to stand on her hands and puts her legs around Aidan's neck. She brings herself up punches him in the face then flips him over. Eve gets up and scrambles away from him. Aidan gets up and smiles
Aidan - Haven't lost the old touch I see
Aidan flips over Eve and grabs her by the hair.
Aidan - You are such a hypocrite. You claim to have changed but you are still fighting like the bad ass bitch you truly are
Eve - You can do what you want to me I don't care. The only reason I'm fighting back is because of what you might do to my friends if I'm not around to stop you.
Aidan - (turns Eve around puts her hands around Eve's neck ready to snap it) If you are referring to Alex, she means nothing to me.
Just as Aidan is about to snap Eve's neck. Alex screams
Alex - NO!
Aidan looks up and he gets Alex jabbing a sword in his chest. He let's Eve go falling to the floor
Flashback
On the battle ground Rome was winning. Roman soldiers kill all of the opposing side. Livia comes riding slashing men with her sword. Livia flips off her horse and brutally kills a man stabbing him repeatedly
Livia - DIE BARBARIANS!!!!!
Tristan sees this and grabs a Gaelic soldier’s spear and throws it at Livia hitting her in her back. She falls down. She breaks the spear off. She gets up and sees Tristan in the distance
Livia - KILL THEM ALL!!!THE WHOLE REGIMENT AND THE VILLAGES! BURN THEM TO THE GROUND. I WANT THEM ALL DESTROYED BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN.
All the soldiers begin their attacks. It is brutal and even more forceful then before. The opposing force is losing.
Livia walks over to Tristan. He runs at her and attacks. She runs toward him and uses the move he first used on her sending him to land on his stomach. He gets up to find Livia standing over him
Tristan - How can you do this?
Livia - All's fair in love and war
Then Livia stabs Tristan in the heart. Livia takes her sword out and wipes the blade. She then walks off as Tristan lay on the ground dying.
Fade to the sundown. There is a fire in the distance as the villages are being destroyed. You can hear the screaming. Pan over to Tristan who lays there still breathing but just barely. We pan down to his hand. A golden apple rolls down and hits his hand. Slowly Tristan picks it up. He sees that it has a black X burned into it. He takes this as a sign and bites into it.
End Flashback
Eve - Alex!
Alex - I'm sorry. I just . . . He was about to . . (she stops when there is a groan heard)
Pan over to Aidan. He gets up with the sword sticking out of his chest. He pulls it out with a grunt and drops it the ground with clang
Alex - How!
Eve - He's immortal. Although I don't know how.
Aidan - A little thing called the golden apple. You didn't count on someone saving me did you? Well, just so you know, there is someone out there who hates you just as much as I do
Alex - Forget that. (Alex rolls on the ground and gets the sword)Let's see you live with your head chopped off.
Alex swings the sword around. Aiden ducks the swipe. He laughs as he dodges the swings of the sword. Alex just get angrier. Eve hesitates not knowing what to do.
Aiden grabs a barbell and uses it to push Alex up against the wall. She sword is against her with the edge coming dangerously close to her neck. Eve jumps on Aiden from behind dragging him away from Alex.
Aiden throws Eve off and swings the dumbbell around to bring it down on her but Alex slides in on her knees striking Aiden in the leg with the sword. Distracted by the pain Aiden drops to one knee. Eve has time to get away. Aiden gets up again and is focused again on Alex but she is smarter this time.
Alex swings the sword and swipes at Aiden's wrist. He drops the dumbbell in pain. Alex kicks him hard in the stomach and he falls to his knees winded.
Alex holds the sword up high and is about to chop his head off when he just looks at her with a sincere look of hurt in his eyes.
Alex is affected by the look.
Eve - Alex?
Alex - I can't. (backs away) I just can't (throws the sword down) Get out of here!
Aiden - What are you doing? Why are you doing this?
Alex - Don't think of this as a victory. If I ever see you here again I will kill you
Aidan gets up. He looks at Alex and then to Eve. He nods and walks out. Eve looks at Alex in disbelief
Alex - I couldn't do it.
Eve - No, no it's alright. I'm proud of you
Alex - What?
Eve - You had the chance to kill him but you showed mercy. That takes a lot of strength.
Alex - What if he comes back? I don't know if I can do it again
Eve - Tristan has lived with hatred for me for 2000 years. I don't think he'll let this go. He will come back and we need to be ready to deal with him when he does.
Alex - (thinking about the look he gave her) What if he's redeemable?
Eve - I wish that were true but I don't think it is. Alex, there's a lot you need to know.
COMMERCIAL
Cut to inside the Centre. It's evening. Jeff comes running in the centre out of breath. He sees Eve
Jeff - Eve! Alex wasn't at her loft. She might . . . (sees Alex) Be here
Eve - Aidan showed up almost right after you left.
Alex - Yeah, I came back to see if Eve closed up when I heard a struggle inside. Aidan was fighting Eve and was about to kill her. I was about to kill him but . . . I choked. I couldn't take the shot.
Eve - I'm sorry you were put in that position. I know you liked Tris . . . I mean Aidan
Alex - Yeah I did but I think I liked the thought of being liked even more. I just jumped right in without thinking about it. I feel kind of stupid now after everything you told me about that jerk. I totally let my guard down and he played me.
Eve - Finding love is hard. It means to have to let yourself be vulnerable with the possibility of being hurt. But its worth it when you find the right one. Don't give up just because of one man.
Alex - Probably wouldn't have worked out anyway. He's like, what, a couple thousand years older then me.
Jeff - He might come back. I think we need to find a way to stop him.
Eve - (sighs) You're right but I wish some things would just stay in the past
Jeff and Alex both give Eve a look
Eve - Except for me of course
Jeff - Speaking of the past, are you ready to give me your life story? I've got a right to know.
Alex - Hoo boy we are in for a long haul
Eve - (smiles) Well my story starts before I was born. With a man named Eli, an angel named Callisto, a prophesy and a warrior named Xena . . .
Cut to a wooded area. Aidan is walking along looking behind him every few feet. He makes his way into the dakrness. When he looks back to the front again he sees a dark shadowed figure in front of him. He stops in his tracks suddenly and is startled. He regains his composure.
Aidan - I was caught (The dark figure approaches) I know! I know I let my emotions get the better of me. I wanted to destroy her right there. I deviated from the plan. If we want to destroy Eve we have to do it through her friends. I will do it your way now. I can get to Alex.
