EXT-PITTSBURGH-NIGHT

(We see varied night aerial shots of the Pittsburgh skyline
and its landmarks...ranging from Mellon Arena and PNC Park to 
the Catherdral of Learning and the many bridges, during
the voiceover.)

                   DEREK
                   (V.O.)

        Welcome to Pittsburgh. Quite a lovely city,  isn't it?
I've lived here for many years,  and I still can't put my finger 
on exactly what I like the most...its many neighborhoods,  the 
quality of life...or the fact that this city seems to be the 
favorite of vampires,  demons and all of the normal riff-raff 
as their favorite way station on their way to Cleveland...one 
of the few known Hellmouths in existence. Then again,  it may 
be the only one left. We never got the  memo telling us otherwise.

SWITCH TO:

EXT-CALVARY CEMETERY-NIGHT

(Derek McCall wanders the cemetery in a stealthy manner,  watching
and trying to gauge exactly the right time to pounce on the vampire, 
who is seen in alternating shots. Derek is wearing a leather coat 
under which is a black t-shirt as well as pants and shoes. The vampire
is similarly dressed and is in "vamped-out" mode. The voice over 
continues as we alternate shots between both.)

                   DEREK
              (V.O. continued)

        Which kinda makes it our business to act as the next to
last line of defense before the Slayers get to them. Not an
exactly successful line of business,  but it's still a calling
for me and my sister. Except I drew the short stick tonight and
got the call to take out a bloodsucker in the Glen Hazel
neighborhood,  right near the Waterfront development. Hindsight 
being 20/20,  I didn't know this guy would be a tough one to handle-
but I knew the job was dangerous when I took it.

(Derek finally decides to pounce as he's on a bridge,  and the vampire
is right beneath him. He jumps,  and lands right on the vampire,  who 
promptly falls to the ground-and is slow to get to his feet. Derek, 
who rolled out of the way after hitting the vamp,  is quicker to his 
feet.)

                       DEREK

        Nice of you to get to your feet so fast. Care to make this
quick and painless?

(The vampire lunges at Derek and throws a wicked right hook which 
launches Derek into the air and backs him into a tree a few feet 
away. He's a bit dazed and aching,  but otherwise unharmed as he gets
back to his feet.)

        Guess that's a "no". It didn't hurt to ask.

                     VAMPIRE

        Why would I want to give up so fast and face getting staked
by an utter waste of space?

                     DEREK
              (catching his breath)   

        Well,  for starters,  you copied my look. And the first rule of
fighting vamps is the good guy is honorbound to kick the living
crap out of a vampire who dares to piss him off by wearing the 
same outfit. 

                     VAMPIRE

        Who made up that rule?

                     DEREK
 
        I did. Just now. 

(A look of bemusement crosses his face.) 

        Apparently,  that explanation didn't pass muster. You think I'm
feeding you a line of crap. Well,  you're right. I wanted to see
if a sense of humor was still alive in that God-forsaken mug
of yours.

                     VAMPIRE

        I'm not alive,  you moron.

                     DEREK

        And pretty soon,  you'll be fertilizer,  Ol' Yellow Eyes.

(With that,  both Derek and the vampire start a wild free for all-
trading punches and using whatever weapons they can get their hands 
on that aren't nailed down....chunks of wood,  loose tree branches,  etc.
The fight takes a lot out of both of them,  including a dual attack that 
leaves both of them on the ground,  aching and gasping for air.)

                     VAMPIRE
         (winded,  getting back to his feet)

        I'll give you this,  human...you're...spunky.

                     DEREK
        (equally spent;also starting to stand up)

        I thought that was a title given to women. Last I checked,  I 
didn't have long hair and two fun bags.

(The camera goes into a close up of Derek,  who fires up his
telekinetic abilities and locates a large branch lying near the 
edge of the fence of the cemetery. He then wills it to fly at high
speed into the vampire,  who gets slammed against the fence. It takes
him a little while to recover,  as he was knocked silly.)

                     VAMPIRE

        That's it...I'm gone. 

(He jumps the fence and heads down Browns Hill Rd. heading toward the 
Homestead Grays Bridge over the Monongahela River.)

                     DEREK

        Not for long,  you aren't. 

(Derek also jumps the fence and follows in hot pursuit,  about 10 seconds
behind the vampire. Gradually,  he catches up to him-as Derek follows in 
pursuit, he puts black gloves on his hands and then claps. Instantly, 
the gloves glow and a few seconds later there appears a number of missile
chambers, along with built in GPS on the upper palm area. Other devices 
remain unseen. Over the next half mile or so,  Derek eventually catches 
up to the vampire on the bridge.)

                     DEREK
        (out of breath, leaning against the bridge)

        Come on. I'm exhausted. Every one of my muscles is on fire. 
Could you please make it easy for me and become fertilizer?

                     VAMPIRE
                     (screams)
    
        NO! 

(With that,  he charges Derek and they trade punches up against the
edge of the bridge. After a few seconds,  they both tumble off the bridge 
and to the ground below,  continuing to kick and punch each other.)

                     DEREK
          (yelling as both continue to fall)

        Then I've got two words for you...

(Suddenly,  unseen by the vampire,  from the bottom of the glove, 
a stake emerges from the palm. Derek takes careful aim and shoves 
the glove with the stake towards the vampire's heart-a millisecond later, 
the stake slams into him and dusts him. Seeing the ground close in on him, 
Derek blinks his eyes and is enveloped by lightning-and just as quickly, 
the light disappears and so does he.)

SWITCH TO:

EXT-BRIDGE-MILLISECONDS LATER

(The same lightning appears again,  and Derek re-emerges on top of the bridge. 
He does the finger point and...)

                     DEREK

         You're fired.
