Angel (1999–2004): Season 1, Episode 10 - Parting Gifts - full transcript

YOU TRY OUR PATIENCE.
WHAT IS DONE...

CANNOT BE UNDONE. I
KNOW. YOU KEEP SAYING THAT.

BUT I NEED DOYLE.

YOU CAN FOLD TIME. YOU'VE
DONE IT BEFORE. BRING HIM BACK.

TO WHAT END? TO
NULLIFY HIS NOBLE DEATH?

TO LEAVE HIS
ATONEMENT UNFULFILLED?

IF IT MEANS HE LIVES.

HE DOESN'T SO YOU MAY.

YOU DO SO THAT OTHERS WILL.

HE'S MY FRIEND.

IF THAT IS SO, THEN
SO SHALL IT EVER BE.



BUT IT IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

Sister: THE WAR RAGES ON.

DO NOT COME TO US AGAIN
ON SO SELF-SERVING A MATTER.

THERE'S ONE CONSEQUENCE...

EVEN BY YOUR GENEROUS STANDARDS.

DOYLE WAS MY SOLE CONTACT
TO THE POWERS THAT BE.

WITHOUT HIS VISIONS,
I'M FIGHTING BLIND.

ALL WILL SOON BE MADE CLEAR.

FOR EVERY DOOR THAT
CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS.

AND FOR EVERY ONE THAT OPENS...

WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR? NOTHING.

DOYLE'S SPECIAL COFFEE MUG.

DOYLE DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIAL MUG.

WELL, DON'T YOU
THINK HE SHOULD HAVE?



I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS I THOUGHT IT WOULD
MAKE ME FEEL BETTER...

IF I COULD HOLD SOMETHING
TANGIBLE THAT HE LEFT BEHIND.

SOME EVIDENCE HE WAS
HERE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING.

ALMOST LIKE... LIKE HE NEVER...

CORDELIA... GET OUT.

WHAT?

I... I MEAN, OF THE
OFFICE. TAKE THE DAY OFF.

GO LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR A
LITTLE BIT. I CAN MANAGE HERE.

DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING, ANGEL.

WHAT AM I DOING?

YOU ARE TRYING TO PUSH ME
AWAY. CLOSE YOURSELF OFF.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I...

WELL, I'VE GOT NEWS
FOR YOU, BROODY BOY.

WE'RE ALL WE'VE GOT NOW.

YOU MAY NOT LIKE SHARING
YOUR GRIEF WITH OTHERS,

BUT THAT'S THE NORMAL, HEALTHY
WAY PEOPLE DEAL WITH LOSS.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE,
SO GET USED TO IT.

I AM STAYING RIGHT HERE.

[BEEP] OOP. I GOTTA GO.

COMMERCIAL AUDITION.

IF IT WASN'T A NATIONAL,
I'D BLOW IT OFF.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T FEEL
UP TO IT, THEN DON'T GO.

STAY HERE. REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY.

VERY CUTE. DON'T
WORRY. I'M GOING.

- I'M NOT...
- BUT DON'T GET ANY IDEAS. I'M COMING BACK.

RIGHT.

AAH! WHOA!

YOU SCARED THE HECK OUTTA ME.

YOU? I SCARED YOU? LOOK
IN THE MIRROR LATELY?

EVERY CHANCE I GET.

YOU'RE HIM... RIGHT?

YOU'RE THE GUY. THE-THE
VAMPIRE WITH THE SOUL?

I'M ANGEL. YEAH.
YOU GOTTA HELP ME.

PLEASE. I-I MEAN, THAT'S
WHAT YOU DO, RIGHT?

Y-YOU HELP THE HELPLESS? YOU
PROTECT THE... WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM?

THE... HELPLESS.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH.

Cordelia: WANT ME
TO STAY? THAT'S O.K.

- BREAK A LEG.
- EXCUSE ME?

I'M SENSING A LITTLE
PERFORMANCE ANXIETY HERE.

LITTLE TRICK.
PICTURE EVERYBODY...

IN THEIR UNDERWEAR.

I-I WAS GONNA
SAY DEAD, BUT, HEY,

IF THAT UNDERWEAR
THING WORKS FOR YA...

SO...

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

CALL ME BARNEY.

LOOK, FIRST OFF, YOU
SHOULD KNOW, RIGHT AWAY,

BEFORE THERE'S ANY
MISUNDERSTANDING, I'M A DEMON.

I APPRECIATE YOUR CANDOR.

SECONDLY, I JUST REALIZED IT'S 3:45
IN THE AFTERNOON. MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

IF YOU'RE A VAMPIRE, WHY
AREN'T YOU IN YOUR COFFIN?

COFFIN. I HATE THAT STEREOTYPE.

YOU'RE A DEMON AND YOU DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT VAMPIRES?

ONLY WHAT I LEARNED FROM TV.

VAMPIRES DON'T SLEEP IN COFFINS.

IT'S A MISCONCEPTION MADE POPULAR
BY HACK WRITERS AND IGNORANT MEDIA.

IN FACT, WE CAN AND DO
MOVE AROUND DURING THE DAY,

AS LONG AS WE AVOID
DIRECT SUNLIGHT. GOT IT?

GOTTEN. SORRY. DIDN'T WANT
TO PUSH ANY SORE SPOTS.

Man: O.K., LET'S TRY THIS
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.

ACTION.

Second Man: JUST LOOK AT
THE WINE STAIN ON MY SHIRT.

I CAN'T MEET YOUR
FOLKS LOOKING LIKE THIS.

Cordelia: DON'T WORRY, HONEY.

IT'S NO PROBLEM WITH
EXTRA-STRENGTH STAINBEGONE.

EXTRA-STRENGTH STAINBEGONE?

YEP. NOW STAINBEGONE
IS MORE EFFECTIVE...

AT MELTING AWAY...

STUBBORN... BLOOD...

WINE...

EVEN GRASS STAINS.

SEE? JUST... SPRAY IT ON...

AND RUB IT IN...

[SOBS]

AND IN MINUTES...

THE STAIN IS GONE.

[SOBS] IT'S COMPLETELY GONE.

O.K., THAT WAS...

Second Man: GOOD. THAT
WAS GOOD. Woman: VERY NICE.

GOOD, BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE
GOING FOR HERE IS MORE OF A...

HAPPY. HAPPY.

AND UP FEELING THAT
THE STAIN IS GONE.

RIGHT. 'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY
STAINS ARE, YOU KNOW...

NOT GOOD. EXACTLY.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S AN INTERESTING
CHOICE. RIGHT.

LET'S TRY THIS ONE MORE
TIME. WE'LL GO FROM...

STAINBEGONE IS
MORE EFFECTIVE. YEAH.

NOW STAINBEGUH...

GONE!

IS...

MORE...

EFFECTIVE!

GRASS STAINS!

O.K. NICE ADJUSTMENT. NICE.

THANK YOU. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.

- WHAT'S HUNTING YOU?
- I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WHOEVER IT IS, HE'S
UNSTOPPABLE. LIKE A MACHINE.

BEEN ON MY TAIL
THROUGH A FEW STATES.

EVER SINCE PHOENIX.

PULLED OUT ALL THE
STOPS TO SHAKE HIM,

WELL, HE KEEPS ON COMING.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
HE MEANS YOU HARM?

I DON'T THINK HE'S
TRACKING ME DOWN...

TO TELL ME THAT I WON THE
PUBLISHERS' CLEARINGHOUSE.

HE'S AN ASSASSIN.

Angel: IS HE A
DEMON? HE COULD BE.

HE KNOWS ALL THE
HAUNTS AND HANGOUTS.

SEEMS LIKE WHEREVER I GO,
HE'S JUST A STEP OR 2 BEHIND.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A MIRACLE
THAT I'VE ELUDED HIM THIS LONG.

Angel: WHY YOU?

W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHO ARE YOU?

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
I'M NOTHING. I'M A NOBODY.

I'M JUST A GUY TRYING
TO GET BY IN THIS WORLD.

NO DIFFERENT FROM ANYBODY ELSE.

BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT WHEN ONE
IS BEING PURSUED THAT TENACIOUSLY,

IT'S GENERALLY BECAUSE THE PURSUER HAS
A STRONG GRIEVANCE AGAINST THE PURSUED.

UH, HEY, MAN, I NEVER
SAID I WAS A BOY SCOUT.

I'M AN EMPATH DEMON.
I CAN READ EMOTIONS.

IT GIVES ME A SLIGHT
ADVANTAGE AT CARDS.

YOU KNOW, BLACKJACK, POKER.
OOH, IT'S ALSO GOOD FOR THE FIGHTS.

SO YOU'RE A CHEAT.

I CHOOSE TO THINK OF IT AS
GOING WITH MY STRENGTHS.

LOOK, WHATEVER. I'M A DEMON.

SURE, I'M EVIL, BUT, HEY...

I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, "EVIL."

THEN YOU CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE
WHO'S GOT A BEEF WITH YOU.

NO ONE. BUT LIKE MY
OLD MAN ALWAYS SAID,

"YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY."

SO YOU GONNA HELP ME?

[DOOR SHUTS]

HI.

EVERYTHING O.K.?

MM.

MMP.

O.K., UM...

CORDELIA, THAT WAS, UH...

I THINK THAT YOU'RE ACTING OUT OF GRIEF
AND YOU'RE CONFUSING OUR FRIENDSHIP...

I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING.
DID YOU FEEL ANYTHING?

NO. Y-YOU SEE, THAT'S
WHAT I'M TRYING...

RRHH. THAT MEANS
THAT I STILL HAVE IT.

DAMN! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE
DID THIS TO ME. WHO DID WHAT?

DOYLE! I THOUGHT OUR
KISS MEANT SOMETHING.

AND INSTEAD, HE USED THAT
MOMENT TO PASS IT ON TO ME.

WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN
MONO OR HERPES? CORDELIA.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS RESPONSIBILITY,
UNLIKE SOME WHO SHALL REMAIN LIFELESS.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ATONE FOR.
IF THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM,

THE PTB BETTER JUST
STAY OUT OF MY HEAD.

POWERS THAT BE.

- YOU HAD A VISION.
- BOY, HOWDY.

AND GUESS WHAT. YOU
KNOW HOW THEY LOOK PAINFUL,

WELL, THEY FEEL A
WHOLE LOT WORSE.

ANOTHER DOOR OPENS.

YOU'RE MY LINK TO
THE... POWERS NOW.

I AM NOBODY'S LINK TO ANYBODY.

I LOST CONTROL OF MY ENTIRE
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM...

GETTING THAT STUPID VISION.

I'M NOT CERTAIN, BUT
I THINK I MAY HAVE...

DROOLED A LITTLE AT THE
FIRST AUDITION I'VE HAD IN WEEKS.

WHAT WAS IT?

STAINBEGONE. IT WAS
A NATIONAL, NO LESS.

THEY'LL PROBABLY
NEVER CALL ME AGAIN.

THE VISION! WHAT WAS THE VISION?

OH. WHO KNOWS? IT WAS A THING.

A THING? AN UGLY,
GRAY, BLOBBY THING.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

THE DIFFERENCE IS, IF
YOU SAW IT IN A VISION,

THIS COULD BE AN UGLY, GRAY,
BLOBBY DANGEROUS THING.

I DON'T CARE. I
WANT IT OUT OF ME.

AND IF KISSING IS THE
ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF IT,

I WILL SMOOCH EVERY
DAMN FROG IN THIS KINGDOM.

[DOOR OPENS]

OH, UH, THOUGHT I HEARD VOICES.

UH, BARNEY, YOU REMEMBER
MY ASSOCIATE COR...

DELIA?

MAYBE NOT EVERY FROG.

BOY, I GOTTA SAY I LIKE THE WAY
YOU PEOPLE TREAT YOUR CLIENTS.

EXCUSE ME.

[SPITS, SOTTO
VOCE] HE'S A CLIENT?

ER, APPARENTLY, SOMEONE
OR SOMETHING'S AFTER HIM.

THAT UGLY, GRAY, BLOBBY THING?

YOU TELL ME.

TRY SKETCHING IT.

IN THE MEANTIME, BARNEY WOULD
PROBABLY FEEL SAFER DOWNSTAIRS.

BABY-SIT HIM TILL I GET
BACK. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

CHECK OUT HIS APARTMENT. HE THINKS
WHATEVER'S CHASING HIM KNOWS WHERE HE LIVES.

HEY, AND BEHAVE YOURSELF.

I DON'T WANNA FIND YOU TWO NECKING
ON THE COUCH WHEN I GET BACK.

[DOOR OPENS]

HELLO, ANGEL.

WESLEY.

I'LL WAGER YOU NEVER
THOUGHT YOU'D SEE ME AGAIN.

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I HADN'T GIVEN
IT MUCH THOUGHT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WHAT ARE Y... HUP BUP BUP.

I'M THE ONE ASKING
QUESTIONS HERE.

AND I THINK IT ONLY
FAIR TO WARN YOU.

ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENT
AND I'LL BE FORCED TO...

RIGHT.

YOU HAD A QUESTION?

INTERESTING LOOK FOR YOU.

MOTORCYCLE.

THE WATCHERS COUNCIL
TRYING OUT A NEW IMAGE?

IN POINT OF FACT, I NO
LONGER WORK FOR THE COUNCIL.

I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION
I WAS OF GREATER VALUE...

TO THE CAUSE WORKING
AUTONOMOUSLY.

THEY FIRED YOU.

HARDLY.

WITH BUFFY UNWILLING TO
FOLLOW COUNCIL ORDERS,

THERE WAS SIMPLY NO OPPORTUNITY
TO FUNCTION AS WATCHER.

AND THAT'S WHY I BECAME
A ROGUE DEMON HUNTER.

YOU'RE A DEMON HUNTER?

ROGUE DEMON HUNTER, YES.

AND I'M ON THE TRAIL OF A
PARTICULARLY NASTY BUGGER RIGHT NOW.

SO I SUGGEST YOU
STAY OUT OF MY WAY.

EASY, TIGER. I THINK YOU
MIGHT BE MAKING A MISTAKE.

IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME DEMON
HERE, HE SEEMS PRETTY HARMLESS TO ME.

HE'S LEFT A TRAIL OF CORPSES,
HUMAN AND DEMON. ALL MUTILATED.

MUTILATED?

EACH OF THE VICTIMS
POSSESSED SOME UNIQUE POWER...

TELEPATHY, POISONED
TONGUES, HEALING HANDS...

WHATEVER THE PHYSICAL
SOURCE OF THEIR POWER,

IT WAS RIPPED, GOUGED,
TORN FROM THEIR CORPSES.

HE'S COLLECTING POWERS. TO
WHAT PURPOSE I CAN ONLY GUESS.

THE FIEND'S CUT A SWATH
ACROSS HALF THE CONTINENT.

ALMOST CAUGHT UP
WITH IT IN PHOENIX.

GOT A PRETTY FAIR LOOK, TOO.

KIND OF SHORT, RUDDY COMPLEXION?

SHORT?

NO. ON THE CONTRARY, QUITE
ENORMOUS AND POWERFUL.

MORE OF A YELLOW-GREEN.

AND IT SEEMS LATELY TO BE
SECRETING SOME SORT OF VISCOUS FLUID.

LIKE THAT?

GYAA!

AAAH!

I HEAR THAT DRAWING CAN BE VERY
THERAPEUTIC DURING A GRIEVING PERIOD.

- WHAT?
- I'M SORRY.

I COULDN'T HELP
SENSING YOUR PAIN.

YOU JUST LOST SOMEONE
CLOSE TO YOU, DIDN'T YOU?

ANGEL TOLD YOU?

NO, I'M EMPATHIC.

I FEEL YOUR FEELINGS
WHEN YOU FEEL THEM.

IT'S A GIFT MY KIND
IS BLESSED WITH.

REALLY. WELL, MY KIND THINKS
THAT SOME THINGS ARE PRIVATE,

SO MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T
BE NOSING AROUND...

OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS
WITHOUT ASKING THEM.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I-I'M SORRY.

JUST TRYING TO
MAKE CONVERSATION.

WAIT. BARNEY, I'M SORRY.

I'M JUST GOING THROUGH A
DIFFICULT TIME RIGHT NOW.

I'M JUST, UM...
MISSING YOUR FRIEND.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT HIM?

DOYLE? WELL, HE DRANK TOO MUCH,

AND HIS TASTE IN CLOTHING
WAS LIKE A GREEK TRAGEDY.

[LAUGHS]

AND HE COULD BE
REALLY SWEET SOMETIMES.

YOU'LL LIKE THIS,
HE WAS HALF-DEMON,

A SECRET HE KEPT
FROM ME FOR, LIKE, EVER.

I GUESS THAT'S THE REASON
HE SOMETIMES SMELLED WEIRD.

YOU KNOW, YOU REMIND
ME A LITTLE OF HIM.

I'LL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT.

THAT'S HIM.

LOOK, BARNEY,

THAT'S THE GUY THAT'S AFTER ME.

NO, BARNEY, IT'S O.K.

LOOK, THE BOOKS ARE OVER THERE.

GOOD LORD. CORDELIA?

WELL, ANGEL NEVER
MENTIONED... WHAT A NICE...

SURPRISE.

IT DIDN'T WORK.

NO? HMM. I RATHER THOUGHT...

IT WENT CONSIDERABLY
BETTER THAN LAST TIME.

NO, IT WAS JUST A
KIND OF EXPERIMENT.

I WAS TRYING... WESLEY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
ARE YOU WORKING WITH ANGEL?

A LONE WOLF SUCH AS MYSELF
NEVER WORKS WITH ANYONE.

I'M MERELY ALLOWING
ANGEL TO ASSIST ME.

OH. WOW.

I'M A ROGUE DEMON HUNTER NOW.

WOW. WHAT'S A ROGUE DEMON?

SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING
ME IS THAT ALL THIS TIME...

YOUR FRIEND WASN'T HUNTING ME.

HE WAS HUNTING SOMETHING
ELSE THAT WAS HUNTING ME?

THAT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT.

AND THIS SOMETHING ELSE
WAS AFTER ME BECAUSE...

IT WANTS TO STEAL
YOUR EMPATHIC ABILITY.

THE FEELING FEELINGS THING?

WHAT KIND OF DEMON WOULD DO
THIS TO ANOTHER DEMON? A KUNGAI.

KUNGAI?

THE DESCRIPTION MATCHES.

IT'S OF ASIAN
ORIGIN, VERY DEADLY.

"A POWERFUL RACE OF DEMONS,

"THE KUNGAI POSSESS A TAK HORN,

CAPABLE OF CONSUMING
ITS OPPONENT'S LIFE FORCE."

WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE
ESCAPED WITH OUR LIVES.

HEY, HEY, HEY. I
KNOW THESE KUNGAIS.

THEY'RE KILLERS,
THEY'RE RELENTLESS.

LOOK, YOU GOTTA TAKE THIS
THING OUT BEFORE IT FINDS ME.

I'M WORKING ON IT. I
HAVE TO FIND IT FIRST.

HANG ON, IT'S OF ASIAN ORIGIN.

EARLIER TODAY, I TRACKED IT THROUGH
AN ASIAN DISTRICT JUST NORTH OF HERE.

THAT'S KOREATOWN. IT'S
VERY LIKELY IT'S HIDING THERE.

THEN THAT'S WHERE
I'LL START LOOKING.

- UH, DON'T YOU MEAN "WE?"
- I WORK ALONE, WESLEY.

THE HELL YOU SAY.
THIS DEMON IS MINE.

ANGEL.

I KNOW HOW TO TRACK HIM.

YOU'RE NOT CATCHING HIM
WITHOUT ME BY YOUR SIDE.

I HAD SOMEBODY AT
MY SIDE. HE'S DEAD NOW.

I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT
HAPPEN AGAIN. I WORK ALONE.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO
BEGIN TO LOOK. I GOT A PRETTY GOOD IDEA.

YES.

WELL. AH.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, WESLEY?

NO, IT'S THESE PANTS.
THEY TEND TO CHAFE ONE'S...

LEGS.

[SPEAKING KOREAN]

[SPEAKING KOREAN]

HEY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE
THEY DO THE SHIATSU MASSAGES?

THAT'S... THAT'S KIND OF NICE.

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW!

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE FRUSTRATED.

THAT'S ONE SPOOKY
TALENT YOU GOT THERE.

YOU CAN JUST LOOK AT
ME GRINDING MY TEETH,

SIGHING, GRUNTING, AND
SENSE THAT I'M FRUSTRATED?

AMAZING.

IT'S PRETTY GOOD AT
SENSING SARCASM, TOO.

CAN I HELP?

NOT UNLESS YOU
CAN EXPLAIN TO ME...

WHY I HAVE TO SUFFER
SKULL-SPLITTING MIGRAINES,

GETTING VISIONS SO VAGUE
THEY REQUIRE CLOSED-CAPTIONING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, UM, VISIONS?

THAT FRIEND OF MINE, DOYLE?

HE USED TO GET
THESE BRAIN FLASHES.

MESSAGES FROM THE PTB?

THE POWERS THAT BE.

VISIONS OF ALL SORTS OF
STUFF, PEOPLE IN TROUBLE,

THINGS ABOUT TO CAUSE TROUBLE,
PLACES TROUBLE'S HAPPENING IN...

AND YOUR FRIEND LEFT YOU
THAT LITTLE INHERITANCE?

I'M NEVER GONNA FORGIVE
HIM FOR DOING THIS TO ME.

WHAT? CHOOSING YOU?

TRUSTING YOU WITH AN
ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY?

BELIEVING THAT YOU WERE
THE ONLY ONE WORTHY...

OF SUCH A RARE
AND IMPORTANT GIFT?

DID I MENTION THE DROOLING?

I GET THE IMPRESSION...

DOYLE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH
BY WAY OF POSSESSIONS?

NO. NO, HE DIDN'T.

SEEMS LIKE HE GAVE YOU...

THE MOST VALUABLE THING HE HAD.

[SPEAKING KOREAN]

I HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR COFFEE BLACK
BECAUSE THE ONLY LIGHTENER THE BOSS HAS...

IS O-POSITIVE.

BLACK IS GREAT.

HANK? IT'S ME. OF COURSE,
I GOT THE KUNGAI HORN.

IN A SAFE PLACE, BUT LISTEN...

I THINK I JUST FOUND
SOMETHING EVEN BETTER.

IT'S KIND OF STRONG,
AND A LITTLE CLUMPY.

NEVER COULD BREW
THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

I'M MORE THE AUTO-DRIP. SORRY.

YES, YOU ARE.

WHAT?

SORRY. PATHETIC, REALLY.

WELL, THANKS FOR THAT
INSIGHT, MR. EMOTIONAL RADAR.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
THAT IS NONE OF YOUR...

WHAT? 20-SOMETHING, HMM?

WITH YOUR HEAD
ALL UP IN THE CLOUDS,

AND YOUR FEET IN
SHOES YOU CAN'T AFFORD.

ALL SELF-ABSORBED,
FULL OF REGRET.

POOR, POOR YOU.
POOR LITTLE CORDELIA...

WITH HER DELUSIONS
OF AN ACTING CAREER.

DELUSIONS?

YOU DON'T POSSIBLY THINK
YOU'LL SUCCEED, DO YOU?

YOU'RE A TERRIBLE ACTRESS.

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ME.
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW. YOU FEEL IT.

YOUR ENTIRE BEING IS
WHISPERING INTO ME RIGHT NOW.

[LAUGHS] ME, ON THE OTHER HAND,

YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIT I'M A PRETTY
FINE ACTOR, HUH? FOOLED YOU.

YOU DON'T LIKE TO
HEAR THE TRUTH.

NO WONDER YOUR FRIEND NEVER
TOLD YOU ABOUT HIS DEMON HALF.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ME, OR DOYLE.

I KNOW YOU LET HIM DIE.

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

NO, BUT IT FEELS
TRUE, DOESN'T IT?

MIXED IN WITH ALL
THE PAIN AND GRIEF,

OOH, A HEALTHY DOLLOP OF GUILT.

A NAGGING THOUGHT
THAT-THAT MAYBE SOMEHOW...

YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HIM.

IF ONLY YOU'D BEEN NICER TO HIM.

IF ONLY YOU'D LET
YOUR WALLS DOWN.

IF ONLY FOR ONE FREAKIN' SECOND,

YOU GAVE A DAMN ABOUT
ANYONE BESIDES YOURSELF, HUH?

LET ME... AW, SHUT UP!

SO, YOU HATE YOUR
GIFT, THE VISIONS?

YOU PROBABLY WOULD LOVE TO RIP THOSE
PRETTY LITTLE EYES OUT OF YOUR HEAD.

I KNOW I WOULD.

[SPEAKING KUNGAI]

[SPEAKING KOREAN]

[SPEAKING KUNGAI]

I DON'T KNOW YOUR
LANGUAGE. I DO.

AT LEAST, I THINK I
RECOGNIZE THE DIALECT.

WELL, THEN IT'S A GOOD
THING YOU HAPPENED BY.

I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT THE
WOUND I GAVE HIM WAS FATAL.

IT WASN'T THE ARROW.
LOOK AT HIS HEAD.

HIS TAK HORN'S BEEN BROKEN OFF.

[SPEAKING KUNGAI]

NOT STICK.

NOT-NOT DYING.

HORN?

I THINK HE'S TRYING TO
TELL US HIS HORN WAS TAKEN.

WE'VE GOT THAT. THE
QUESTION IS, BY WHOM?

GOOD. TERROR. [LAUGHS]

OH, I'M FEELING IT. YOU HAVE
NO IDEA WHAT A RUSH IT IS.

KEEP IT COMING.

THE HORN WAS TAKEN.

[SPEAKING KUNGAI]

HE SAID HIS HORN WAS
TAKEN FOR SOMETHING.

THE "KLU-[CLICK]-KA." I'M NOT
FAMILIAR WITH THAT WORD.

[SPEAKING KUNGAI] YES? FISH...

FISH WILL DIE.

NOT FISH. MORE. DIE MORE?

OH, HE SAYS MORE WILL DIE.
O.K., HOW? WHO'S DOING THIS?

NO GOOD LOSING PATIENCE. HE'S
DYING, AND I'M NOT EXACTLY FLUENT.

WAIT! [GRUNTING]

AAH! A VISION!

I'M HAVING A VISION. AAH!

A DEMON. A CREEPY LITTLE...

YOU! IT'S DEFINITELY YOU.

AH. YOU'RE IN GREAT-GREAT...

DANGER? PAIN.

OOH!

LOOK, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HURT
YOU. BRUISES BRING DOWN THE PRICE.

HELP!

BUT NOT BY MUCH.

HIT THE CHERRY?

SLAM THE CHERRY.

OH, NO. OH, DEAR.

STOP? STOP THE DEMON?

RED... HEART.

READER.

HE WAS TRYING TO
DESCRIBE HIS KILLER.

DEMON... HEART... READER.

EMPATH DEMON. BARNEY.

Hank: YOU GIVE 'EM THE GIRL,
THAT'S TOO MUCH TROUBLE.

LOOK, IN 2 SECONDS, I'LL POP OUT
THE EYES, AND WE'LL DUMP THE BODY.

Barney: WE GET AN EXTRA THOUSAND IF
THE SEER'S EYES ARE INTACT. SO DROP IT.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE CATALOGUING
GYPSY FLESH? YEAH, YEAH, WHATEVER.

CORDELIA!

CORDELIA!

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

WE BOTH LEFT HER HERE.

NEITHER OF US KNEW.

I SHOULD HAVE.

ALL THIS TIME, I'VE BEEN
TRACKING THE WRONG DEMON.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO
CORDELIA BECAUSE OF ME...

NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN
TO CORDELIA. I WON'T ALLOW IT.

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING,
THIS IS ME LOOKING FOR A CLUE.

FEEL FREE TO JOIN
IN ANYTIME YOU WANT.

I'M A FRAUD.

THE COUNCIL WAS
RIGHT TO SACK ME.

YES, I WAS FIRED.

I HAD 2... 2 SLAYERS IN MY CARE.

ONE TURNED EVIL AND
NOW VEGETATES IN A COMA.

THE OTHER'S A RENEGADE.

FIRE ME?

I'M SURPRISED THEY
DIDN'T CUT MY HEAD OFF.

I'M USELESS.

A FOOL.

SNIVELING, GREAT...
UGLY, GRAY, BLOBBY THING.

WHAT?

I KNOW THIS.

IT'S A SCULPTURE BY VAN
GIESON, MAIDEN WITH URN.

CORDELIA SAW THIS IN A VISION. IT COULD
BE TELLING US WHERE BARNEY TOOK HER.

SO, WE ASCERTAIN THE
SCULPTURE'S WHEREABOUTS,

CORDELIA'S WHEREABOUTS...

THEN YOU CAN GO RESCUE HER.

WE CAN GO RESCUE HER.

I NEED YOUR HELP, WESLEY.

THE KUNGAI SAID BARNEY
WANTED THE HORN FOR SOMETHING.

KLU-[CLICK]-KA.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THIS
ROOM WHO COULD TRANSLATE THAT.

ARE YOU WITH ME?

GOOD.

GOT IT.

VAN GIESON'S MAIDEN WITH URN...

WAS SOLD TO THE
RAMSEY HOTEL CHAIN IN '82.

12 HOTELS BETWEEN HERE AND SAN
DIEGO. IT'S GOTTA BE IN ONE OF THEM.

I KEEP RUNNING UP AGAINST A
TRANSLATION FOR KLU-[CLICK]-KA,

WHICH TRANSLATES
AS CALLER SALE...

WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

CALLER. CALLER SALE.

YES, OF COURSE!

I KNOW WHAT KLU-[CLICK]-KA IS.

WHAT? AUCTION.

[GAVEL SLAMS] SOLD!
FOR 20,000 TO NUMBER 118,

THE DAPPER GENTLEMAN
IN THE CENTER AISLE.

WELL DONE, SIR. YOU ARE NOW THE
PROUD OWNER OF AN AUTHENTIC TAK HORN.

STAB YOUR ENEMIES WITH
IT. HECK, STAB YOUR WIFE.

IT'LL DRAIN THE LIFE
RIGHT OUT OF 'EM.

THE POWER TO DRAIN A LIFE FORCE
IS AN INVESTMENT IN PEACE OF MIND.

NEXT UP, LOT 32.

WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO
HAVE THIS HERE TODAY,

A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL FIND.

I'M REALLY NOT A SEER! I
ONLY HAD A VISION ONCE.

AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT
WAS JUST SOMETHING I ATE.

THE MAGNIFICENT EYES OF A SEER.

YOUR VERY OWN PIPELINE TO
THE POWERS THAT BE, FOLKS.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

KEEP THE GIRL AS A SLAVE,

REMOVE THE HEAD AS A TROPHY,
OR SIMPLY HARVEST THE EYES.

IN ANY CASE, A UNIQUE
PARTY ICEBREAKER.

IT DOESN'T GET ANY
BETTER THAN THIS.

WE'LL START THE
BIDDING AT 2,000.

DO I HEAR 2,000?

AH, 2,000. DO I
HEAR 2,000 AND 5?

2,000 AND 5. DO I HEAR 3? 3!

8,000. DO I HEAR 9,000?
EYES OF A SEER, FOLKS.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL SOME OF
YOU WHAT A RARE FIND THIS IS.

AH, 9,000! 9 GETS ME 1O.

DO I HEAR 10? 10,000.

10,000. DO I HEAR 10?

AH, 10,000!

DO I HAVE 11? 11,000.

11,000 FROM THE
GENTLEMAN IN THE BACK!

DO WE HAVE 12?

SEER'S EYES, GOING AT 11,000.

DO I HEAR 12?

HOTEL RAMSEY IN L.A.
RECENTLY REDECORATED.

THE VAN GIESON SCULPTURE
USED TO BE IN THEIR LOBBY.

11,000 IT IS.

GOING FOR 11,000. ONCE, TWICE...

HEY, YOU KNOW YOU'D PAY
TWICE THAT FOR CATARACTS.

THESE EYES ARE FLAWLESS,
EVEN WITHOUT THE STUPID VISIONS!

IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?

12,000.

I HAVE 12,000 FROM
THE GENTLEMAN.

DO I HEAR 13?

13. GOING FOR 12,000...

YOU KNOW WHAT THESE EYES CAN DO?

THEY CAN, UH, SEE... STUFF.

LIKE, UH, DANGER...
AND-AND EVIL.

AND...

LOCATIONS... OF BURIED TREASURE.

13,000! DO I HEAR...

COME ON! HAVE SOME HUEVOS, GUY!

WHITEY HERE'S
STEPPIN' ALL OVER YOU.

YOU GONNA TAKE
THAT FROM HIS KIND?

Barney: 14.

UH, 15.

16.

YOU DECIDE. 17.

18.

19.

OOH! 20,000 FROM THE
GENTLEMAN IN THE CENTER AISLE.

GOING ONCE. GOING TWICE.

Woman: 30,000!

HA! SOLD!

FOR $30,000 TO THE LOVELY
LAWYER FROM WOLFRAM AND HART.

I'M SURE YOUR PEOPLE WILL
BE HAPPY WITH THEIR PURCHASE.

WE WON'T BE NEEDING THE BODY.

MY EMPLOYERS HAVE REQUESTED
THAT THE EYES BE EXTRACTED.

AN EXTRACTION IS A
VERY DELICATE PROCESS.

WE RUN THE RISK OF
DAMAGING THE GIFT.

IT'S GONNA COST
YOU AN EXTRA THOU.

PLEASE. EXTRACTION IS
ALWAYS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.

- NOT WITH SEER'S EYES.
- I'VE NEVER HEARD
OF SUCH A THING.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN SUCH A
THING LIKE THIS ON THE MARKET.

AN EXTRA THOUSAND
OR YOU TAKE IT AS IS.

GO AHEAD.

[GASPS] ALL RIGHTY, THEN.

HANK, GIVE ME THE EXTRACTOR.

BUT... I WANT TO DO
IT. YOU KNOW THAT!

I HAVE BEEN BEGGING YOU... HANK!

YOU'RE EMBARRASSING
YOURSELF. HAND IT OVER.

[WHIMPERS]

Angel: CONVENTION
HALLS? DOWNSTAIRS.

WE'RE LATE. WHERE'S THE AUCTION?

- I'M SORRY,
WE HAVE NO AUCTION HERE.
- WHERE IS IT?

IT'S IN THE TULIP
ROOM. THAT WAY.

NO!

NOW, BE A GOOD
GIRL AND HOLD STILL.

THIS'LL ONLY HURT A LOT. OHH!

Angel: SCULPTURE'S NOT HERE.

AS USUAL, ONE STEP BEHIND.

HEY, HAVE YOU GOT A NUMBER?

HANK, STAKES.

GET CORDELIA!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH!

I AM SO FAR NOT. RIGHT, WRISTS.

WESLEY, COME ON!

O.K., LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!

FOLLOW ME!

YOU!

I'M GOING TO THRASH YOU
WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR LIFE.

THEN I'M GONNA TAKE THAT INCH!

OUR MERCHANDISE WAS
JUST TAKEN OFF THE MARKET.

3 GUESSES BY WHOM.

FEEL THIS FEELING, CREEPO!

AAH!

[GRUNTS, WHEEZES]

I NEVER DOUBTED FOR
A MINUTE YOU'D FIND ME.

WELL, I WAS LUCKY. I HAD A
ROGUE DEMON HUNTER ON MY SIDE.

GLAD I COULD BE OF SERVICE.

Cordelia: NOT THAT HE
DIDN'T HAVE IT COMING.

HE WAS A HORRIBLE, EVIL MONSTER.

HE DID KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE.

VICIOUSLY MUTILATED
THEIR CORPSES.

PLUS, HE STARTED THE BIDDING
ON ME AT A PALTRY $2,000.

[SIGH] THIS, I FRAME
FOR SAVING MY LIFE...

AND AS A REMINDER THAT SOMETHING
OF DOYLE'S IS HERE IN OUR OFFICE.

WELL, I'LL BE OFF, THEN.

FAREWELL, ANGEL.

WHO KNOWS WHEN OUR
PATHS WILL CROSS AGAIN.

WESLEY.

- DO YOU EVEN KNOW
WHERE YOU'RE HEADED?
- ROGUE DEMON HUNTERS RARELY DO.

WHEREVER EVIL LURKS,

WHEREVER THE FORCES OF
DARKNESS THREATEN HUMANITY,

THAT'S WHERE I'LL BE.

OH, O.K. WELL, KEEP IN TOUCH.

YES. YES I WILL.

BUT NOW, THE EVIL LURKING
EVERYWHERE BIDS ME ONWARDS.

SO... I GO.

TAKE CARE!

YES.

NO REST FOR THE WICKED FIGHTERS.

THROUGH STORM AND RAIN, HEAT...

FAMINE,

DEEP, PAINFUL, GNAWING HUNGER...

I GO.

BREAKFAST? OH.

I SUPPOSE SO.

ONE OF THE PERKS OF THE JOB.

AFTER AN ALL-NIGHTER OF FIGHTING
THE LURKING EVIL, WE GET EGGS.

- TOAST?
- PLEASE.

I'M FAMISHED. HE'S A GOOD COOK
FOR SOMEONE ON A LIQUID DIET.

ASTONISHING, REALLY. MM-HMM.

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT TOAST?
