Angel (1999–2004): Season 1, Episode 16 - The Ring - full transcript

"DEMONS, DEMONS, DEMONS."

WOW. THEY PUT A LOT OF
THOUGHT INTO THAT TITLE.

IT'S A DEMON DATABASE.
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?

I DON'T KNOW. HOW ABOUT...

"DEMON DATABASE?"

AH. A NAME RIFE WITH
SINGLE ENTENDRE.

WHY ISN'T WOLFRAM
AND HART IN HERE?

BECAUSE THEY'RE
LAWYERS, NOT DEMONS.

FINE LINE, YOU ASK ME.

YEESH. THEY HAVE
A LOT OF ENTRIES.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
THERE'S A DOZEN SPECIES



INDIGENOUS TO L.A. COUNTY ALONE?

DO THEY HAVE THE
VIGORIES OF ODEN TAL?

NOPE.

MMM. SO, THERE'S STILL
A PLACE IN THIS WORLD

FOR TRADITIONAL RESEARCH.

SOME UGLY CRITTERS IN HERE.

SOMEONE OUGHT TO CREATE
AN INTRA-DEMON DATING BASE.

YOU KNOW, LIKE,
"ARCHFIEND DOT ORG,

WHERE THE LONELY
AND THE SLIMY CONNECT."

I WAS JUST JOKING,
MR. GROUCHY-PANTS.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU HAD A DATING BASE?

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I LEAD
A RICH AND VARIED SOCIAL LIFE.

OH, I KNOW. EVERY
NIGHT IT'S JEOPARDY,

FOLLOWED BY WHEEL OF FORTUNE



AND A CUP OF HOT COCOA.

LOOK OUT, GIRLS, THIS
ONE CAN'T BE TAMED.

I'LL ADMIT, IT MAY NOT
BE AS INTOXICATING

AS A LIFE ERECTED ON HIGH-FASHION
PUMPS AND A PUSH-UP BRA...

HEY, IF ANYONE IS WEARING A
PUSH-UP BRA AROUND HERE, IT'S... ANGEL.

DO YOU TWO NEED
TO SEE A COUNSELOR?

NO, I'M WAY TOO SINGLE ENTENDRE
TO BENEFIT FROM THERAPY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TAKE
EVERYTHING SO PERSONALLY.

ME? OH, THIS IS RICH,

COMING FROM
MR. "DON'T TALK TO ME

BEFORE I'VE HAD MY FLAGON
OF OAT BRAN IN THE MORNING."

CHILDREN, WE HAVE COMPANY.

IS ONE OF YOU ANGEL?

I'M ANGEL.

I'M DARIN MACNAMARA.
I, UH, CHECKED AROUND.

YOU HAVE A REPUTATION

FOR HANDLING UNUSUAL PROBLEMS.

A RICHLY DESERVED REPUTATION.

OH, OH.

HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I THINK I'M
GONNA PASS OUT, I...

I'M... I'M SORRY.
IT'S JUST, UM...

MY BROTHER JACK. HE
WAS KIDNAPPED LAST NIGHT.

I FOUND THIS IN
MY MAILBOX TODAY.

DO YOU KNOW THE
PEOPLE WHO DID THIS?

WELL, THAT'S WHY I CAME TO YOU.

THEY WEREN'T PEOPLE.

I'M A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN JACK.

MY BROTHER AND I HAVEN'T EXACTLY

BEEN CLOSE SINCE WE GREW UP.

I MADE SOMETHING OF
MY LIFE, AND JACK DIDN'T.

THANKS. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT.

THERE WAS NO
CALLS, NO NOTE, JUST...

BUT YOU WERE THERE
WHEN HE WAS TAKEN.

JACK CALLED ME LAST NIGHT,

ASKED ME TO COME OVER.

HE'S GOT A GAMBLING PROBLEM.

SAID HE WAS IN OVER HIS HEAD

WITH ONE OF HIS BOOKIES.

DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE?

ERNIE NELLINS.

HE WORKS AT A SPORTS
BAR IN SILVER LAKE

CALLED SHOTS.

I'VE PAID THIS NELLINS BEFORE.

I TOLD JACK THIS
TIME TO GO TO HELL.

I WANTED HIM TO SUFFER THE
CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS.

I DIDN'T KNOW SOMETHING
LIKE THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

YOU COULDN'T. IT'S
NOT YOUR FAULT.

I FELT GUILTY, SO I
WENT OVER THERE,

AND THERE WERE THESE...

I DON'T KNOW. CREATURES.

THEY WERE DRAGGING HIM AWAY.

I... I TRIED TO
STOP THEM, BUT...

AND YOU HAVEN'T
HEARD FROM ANYONE?

NO. I'LL PAY ANYTHING
TO GET HIM BACK.

HE'S FAMILY. HE'S
MY LITTLE BROTHER.

LOOK, MY COLLEAGUES
WILL START LOOKING INTO

WHOEVER OR WHATEVER
KIDNAPPED YOUR BROTHER,

AND, UM, THANKS.
IN THE MEANTIME,

WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING YOU SAW.

OK. THANK YOU.

WHAT ABOUT THE BOOKIE?

I THOUGHT WE COULD
HAVE A LITTLE CHAT.

THIS IS WHEAT GRASS. I
ORDERED THE KIWI COOLER.

GIMME THAT.

HOW DO YOU DRINK
THAT SWILL? GIVE ME 2.

MIND IF I PLAY, ERNIE?

THE GAME'S INVITATION ONLY, PAL.

THEN INVITE ME.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I'VE PLAYED,

SO I MIGHT BE A LITTLE
RUSTY ON THE RULES,

BUT I THINK MY JACKS
BEAT YOUR PAIR.

OH, NO. [MUMBLES]

NO, I'M NOT LOOKING
FOR A FIGHT. JUST FOR HIM.

YOU SHOULD TRY THAT WHEAT GRASS.

IT'S GOOD FOR THE DIGESTION.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

A FRIEND OF JACK'S.

JACK DOESN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS,

JUST PEOPLE HE DOESN'T OWE.

HIS BROTHER WILL MAKE
GOOD ON ALL HIS DEBTS.

OOH, OUT OF MY HANDS, HOTSHOT.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE
MONEY ANYMORE.

IT'S ABOUT MAKING
JACK AN EXAMPLE.

PIECE BY PIECE?

MAKES AN IMPRESSION
ON THE NEWCOMERS.

WHERE IS HE, ERNIE?

HE DIDN'T TELL ME. I DIDN'T ASK.

WHICH DOESN'T MEAN
YOU DON'T KNOW.

YEP.

THERE'S A PLACE...

IN BEACHWOOD CANYON.

WELL, NOT EXACTLY IN
BEACHWOOD CANYON.

UNDER IT, ACTUALLY.

OK, I'M IN.

WHAT DID DARIN WRITE DOWN

ABOUT THE DEMONS
THAT TOOK HIS BROTHER?

BALD, ULTRA-WHITE SKIN, SLIME.

THERE'S ALWAYS SLIME.
THIS IS WHY I DON'T GAMBLE.

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

BEETLEJUICE THE
ALBINO COMES A-KNOCKIN'.

CLAWS OR HANDS?

HE WROTE, "CLAW-LIKE HANDS."

COULD BE A MIXED BREED. SMELL?

SULFURIC.

ADD A PORSCHE AND HAIR
PLUGS, AND I'VE DATED THIS GUY.

A LOT.

OTHER DISTINGUISHING
CHARACTERISTICS?

THE EERIE HIGH-PITCHED
HOWL OR WAIL.

I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHEN IT'S
PREPARING TO FIGHT OR MATE.

OK, FIRST I SAY, "YUCK,"
AND THEN I HIT SEARCH.

YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME YOU
GET DONE ENTERING ALL THIS

IN YOUR FANCY-SCHMANCY DATABASE,

I COULD'VE LOCATED... GOT IT.

"A HOWLER DEMON."

YIKES.

WHERE'S JACK MACNAMARA?

NOT HERE.

THEN WHERE IS HE?

WE SOLD HIM.

OK, WHO DID WE SELL HIM TO?

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT,
PLEASE. TICKETS.

OH.

YOU'RE QUICK.

THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. KILLING BLOW.

KILLING BLOW. YEAH!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

THE WINNER, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, TOM CRIBB.

OFFICIAL TIME: 6
MINUTES AND 22 SECONDS.

THE FIGHT PAYS OUT AT 2 TO 5.

AND IF YOU'RE KEEPING TRACK, THAT
WAS CRIBB'S SEVENTH CAREER KILL.

OUR NEXT CONTEST FEATURES
ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR FIGHTERS

WE'VE HAD THE
PLEASURE OF PRESENTING.

A RARE FIND HAILING FROM THE
BARREN WASTELANDS OF TREVYOK,

A TRUE CHAMPION WHO'S GOT IT
ALL... SKILL, SPEED AND STRENGTH.

LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR
THE MENACE OF VENICE,

THE TITAN OF TERROR,
THE AVATAR OF AGONY,

THE ONE, THE ONLY...

VAL TREPKOS!

AHH...

YOU MADE IT.

MOST DON'T.

CAREFUL WITH THIS ONE, JACK.

SHOULD'VE SEEN WHAT HE
DID TO THE HOWLERS. OUCH.

YOU SET ME UP.

IT WAS A GROUP EFFORT.

OPEN UP. LET'S GET A
LOOK AT THOSE TEETH.

TEETH TELL A LOT
ABOUT THE BONES.

TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL, JACK.

SO, THIS ONE'S
GOT SOME ATTITUDE.

THAT'S GOOD.

HE'LL BE A CROWD-PLEASER.

I ASKED FOR A ROOM WITH A VIEW.

I'M GUESSIN' ENGLISH IS
NOT YOUR NATIVE TONGUE.

¿HABLO ESPAÑOL?

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

[SPEAKING ITALIAN]

WE'LL HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT
DURING THE LONG WINTER NIGHTS.

LISTEN UP, SLAVES.

THERE'S ONLY ONE RULE HERE,

AND IT'S REAL SIMPLE SO
YOU DEMONS CAN REMEMBER.

AHH, TSK TSK TSK.
STAY INSIDE THE RED.

THAT WRISTBAND WILL
MAKE SURE YOU DO.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

YOU WANNA TEAR MY THROAT OUT.

BUT YOU WON'T.

'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY
ONE WAY OUT OF HERE.

WHEN THAT BAND COMES OFF.

AND THE ONLY WAY
THAT BAND COMES OFF

IS AFTER YOUR 21st KILL.

I'M NOT KILLING ANYONE.

THEN YOU'LL BE KILLED.

EITHER WAY, FANS'LL GET
THEIR MONEY'S WORTH.

WELL, PLEASE LET US
KNOW IF YOU HEAR FROM HIM.

THANK YOU.

COP LADY HASN'T TALKED TO HIM?

NO, AND SHE SEEMED LIKE
SHE DIDN'T MUCH CARE, EITHER.

SHE SHOULD PUT OUT
A MISSING PERSONS.

HE'S ONLY BEEN GONE ONE NIGHT.

ONE LONG NIGHT IN WHICH HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO CHECK IN WITH US AND DIDN'T.

AND HE'S NOT SOMEONE
WHO TANS WELL.

HE'S PROBABLY JUST HOLED
UP IN A TUNNEL SOMEWHERE,

WAITING FOR NIGHTFALL.

MAYBE. BUT STILL,
SOMETHING'S VERY WRONG.

OUR CLIENT, WHO SHOULD
BE WAITING BY THE PHONE,

IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

RIGHT. KEEP TRYING
TO TRACK HIM DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

FOLLOW IN ANGEL'S FOOTSTEPS.

YOU'RE GOING TO THE BOOKIE?

THAT'S THE LAST PLACE
WE KNOW ANGEL WENT.

THE BOOKIE WHO MAY GET HIS JOLLIES
CUTTING OFF PEOPLE'S EXTREMITIES?

THAT'S WHY I'M TAKING THIS.

ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER THINGS.

LOOKS LIKE GOOD GRUEL.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

I'M ANGEL.

WHAT YOU ARE IS A
SOON-TO-BE-DEAD SLAVE.

SHUT UP.

CRIBB, THAT'S MINE.

NOW IT'S MINE.

GIVE IT BACK TO HIM.

YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH
AGAIN, I'LL CLOSE IT FOR GOOD.

I WOULDN'T DO
THAT IF I WERE YOU.

ANGEL, GUESS HOW
MANY VAMPIRES I'VE KILLED.

CATCH YA LATER.

WHY'D YOU DO THAT?
YOU'RE WELCOME.

I CAN FIGHT MY OWN
BATTLES. I GOT 2 WINS ALREADY.

SO ALL YOU NEED IS WHAT,
ANOTHER 19 AND YOU'RE OUT OF HERE?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU THINK I CAN'T CUT IT?

YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?

NO, NOT REALLY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

DON'T BE ROCKING THE BOAT.
THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH IN HERE.

ALL RIGHT, GIRLS, LISTEN
UP. HERE'S TONIGHT'S CARD.

LASOVIC, YOU'RE FIGHTING BAKER.

TREPKOS, YOU'RE THE MAIN EVENT.

YOU'LL GO AGAINST MELLISH.

THAT'S NOT A MATCH-UP.
IT'S AN EXECUTION.

SHUT YOUR TRAP, SLAVE.
NO ONE'S TALKING TO YOU.

AFTER HE KILLS MELLISH,

WE'LL PUT HIM UP AGAINST
KAFKA FOR SATURDAY'S FIGHT.

I'M WALKING OUT
OF THERE TONIGHT.

YOU BETTER KNOW THAT.

DON'T!

NO!

DAMN IT. WE PAID GOOD
MONEY FOR THAT ONE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S AN OBJECT
LESSON FOR THE OTHERS.

WE'LL HAVE TO FIND A
REPLACEMENT FOR HIS BOUT.

WHAT ABOUT CAPTAIN AMERICA HERE?

ICE. HELPS KEEP
THE SWELLING DOWN.

YOU GOT A HARD HEAD THERE, BOY.

STOP THAT.

WHO'S THIS?

I'M WESLEY WYNDAM-PRYCE, AND
I'M LOOKING FOR MY EMPLOYER.

HE CAME HERE TO QUESTION
YOU ABOUT JACK MACNAMARA.

MAYBE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE.
I'M KIND OF BUSY HERE.

WHERE IS HE?

YOUR BOSS...

GAVE ME $200 TO
ANSWER HIS QUESTIONS.

I'M A BUSINESSMAN.

MAKE AN OFFER.

YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE
MAN I WORK FOR MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME.

AND I WILL NOT GIVE
YOU A SINGLE RED CENT.

WHAT I WILL DO, SIR, IS BEAT
IT OUT OF YOU, IF I HAVE TO.

YOU'RE FROM ANOTHER
COUNTRY, RIGHT?

WHAT ARE YOU, ROBIN HOOD?

PLEASE DROP THOSE.

YOU CAN GO NOW.

NOW, WHERE IS MY EMPLOYER?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THE MACNAMARA
BROTHERS WELCOME YOU

TO ANOTHER NIGHT OF HIGH-STAKES,
HIGH-VOLTAGE ENTERTAINMENT.

I HEARD SOMETHING INTERESTING.

WHAT'S THAT?

I HEARD THE VAMPIRE HAS A SOUL.

I WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

WHEN HE'S FIGHTING,

DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD
BE A PLUS OR A MINUS?

PROBABLY DEPENDS ON
WHAT HE'S FIGHTING FOR.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU'LL
GIVE ME ODDS ON HIM TO WIN?

IT MEANS I'LL GIVE
YOU EVEN MONEY.

HEH. I'LL TAKE THAT BET.

HEH HEH HEH.

HEH HEH HEH HEH.

SHOULDN'T GO OUT THERE COLD.

LOOK, YOU DID ME
ONE. BAKER'S FAST,

BUT HIS LEFT EYE GOT
MESSED UP 2 FIGHTS AGO.

STAY ON HIS LEFT. TIE HIM UP.

YOU CAN DRIVE HIS HEAD
RIGHT INTO THE WALL.

YOU CAN GET THE KILL.

I'M NOT GONNA KILL ANYONE.

YOU ON DRUGS? IT'S NOT
LIKE YOU HAVE A CHOICE.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

ALL RIGHT, GIRLS. SHOW TIME.

BAKER'S CHALLENGER MAKES
HIS RING DEBUT TONIGHT.

HE'S A HIGHLY SKILLED FIGHTER
WITH A TASTE FOR BLOOD.

LET'S WELCOME... ANGEL.

THAT VAMPIRE'S
NOT EVEN FIGHTING.

THOSE TWO ARE PERFECT.

DID YOU BRING THE BADGE? NO.

YOU SAID YOU HAD...

SIR, MADAM, I'M
DETECTIVE ANDREWS.

THIS IS DETECTIVE... YELSEW.

SHOW 'EM YOUR BADGE.

AND WRITE DOWN THEIR
LICENSE PLATE NUMBER...

4-3-9er, PETER, CHARLIE, EDWARD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY
ARE YOU WRITING DOWN...

SIR, IF YOU COULD CALM
DOWN AND GIVE US YOUR NAME.

MY NAME IS MATTHEW WINSLOW,

AS IN WINSLOW MULTIMEDIA.

AND I HAPPEN TO BE A PERSONAL
FRIEND OF YOUR BOSS... CHIEF TYLER.

WE'LL GIVE HIM YOUR BEST.
COULD I SEE YOUR TICKETS, PLEASE?

YOU'LL BE HEARING
FROM MY LAWYER TONIGHT.

ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOU'VE PURCHASED
TICKETS TO AN UNLICENSED SPORTING EVENT?

ANSWER THE DETECTIVE.

WELL, IF IT'S ILLEGAL,

WHAT ARE ALL THESE
PEOPLE DOING HERE?

WE'RE TRYING TO DO YOU
A FAVOR, MR. WINSLOW.

SOMETHING'S GOING DOWN TONIGHT.

SOMETHING WITH THE MAN.

A RAID?

WE'RE NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY.

BUT WE COULD JUST GO ON HOME?

I THINK THAT WOULD BE
A WISE THING TO DO, SIR.

THANK YOU.

YOU ALMOST BLEW IT.

I SAVED US.

UCH. SOMETHING'S GOING
DOWN WITH THE MAN? YOU IDIOT.

IDIOT. THINKS HE CAN GET OUT
OF THIS BY PULLING A GANDHI.

[BOOING AND JEERING]

I THINK WE FOUND
OUR MISSING CLIENT.

GET UP AND HIT HIM!

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT IS THIS?

THESE OCTAVIAN MATCHES
DATE BACK TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

I'D HEARD RUMORS OF A REVIVAL.

COULDN'T THEY HAVE JUST
DONE WEST SIDE STORY?

WHAT'S WITH THE BRACELETS?

IF THEY CROSS THE RED
LINE WHILE WEARING ONE,

THEY DISINTEGRATE.

OH.

[BOOING]

OH, MY GOD.

[CHEERING]

[CROWD CHANTING KILLING BLOW]

Crowd: KILLING
BLOW, KILLING BLOW.

[CHEERING]

ANGEL, ANGEL.

ANGEL, ANGEL.

ANGEL, ANGEL, ANGEL.

OFFICIAL TIME: SEVEN
MINUTES, 33 SECONDS.

THIS MARKS THE FIRST OF WHAT
PROMISES TO BE MANY MORE KILLS

BY THE VAMPIRE ANGEL!

ANGEL, ANGEL, ANGEL.

ANGEL, ANGEL, ANGEL.

ANGEL, ANGEL, ANGEL.

ANGEL, ANGEL,
ANGEL. ANGEL, ANGEL.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

TREPKOS AND
MELLISH... SHOW TIME.

WAIT. IF NO ONE
FIGHTS, NO ONE DIES.

OH, QUIT MOPING. YOU'RE ALIVE.

BAKER ISN'T.

ONE LUCKY KILL DON'T
MAKE YOU AN EXPERT.

THAT WASN'T THE
FIRST LIFE I'VE TAKEN.

OR THE 21st.

TREPKOS, MELLISH, LET'S GO.

WE CAN FIGHT THEM, BUT ONLY
IF WE STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER.

Jack: NOW.

I'M GIVING YOU ANOTHER WAY OUT.

I'LL KILL HIM QUICK.

AND NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S GIVE
IT UP FOR ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE FIGHTERS,

VAL TREPKOS!

[CHEERING]

WE GOTTA CALL THE POLICE.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

WHY?

IF BY SOME MIRACLE THEY'RE
NOT ALREADY IN ON THIS,

THEN MACNAMARA WOULD DESTROY
THE EVIDENCE THE MOMENT THEY SHOWED.

HE'D KILL THE FIGHTERS.

WE'VE GOT TO GET
ANGEL OUT OF THERE.

I KNOW, AND TO DO THAT, WE HAVE TO
GET HIM OUT OF THOSE WRIST CUFFS.

NO MEAN FEAT. THEY WERE
FORGED BY ANCIENT SORCERERS.

SO GET AN ANCIENT KEY.

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO
MAKE ONE MYSELF,

IF I COULD GET MY HANDS
ON ONE OF THOSE CUFFS,

WHICH ISN'T GOING TO BE EASY,

UNLESS YOU HAPPENED TO
PROCURE ONE WHILE I WASN'T LOOKING.

WELL DONE.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THAT WAS THE MOST
EXCITING MATCH I'VE EVER SEEN.

MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHEN
YOU STUCK BAKER WITH THE KNIFE.

KIND OF PUT A DAMPER ON
THE BROTHERHOOD SPIEL.

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

YOU'RE A DEMON JUST
LIKE THE REST OF THEM.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IS
THEY KNOW THEIR PLACE.

SOMEBODY NEEDS
TO PUT YOU IN YOURS.

YOU AND YOUR BROTHER.

SOMEONE MAY.

SOMEDAY.

BUT NOT YOU. AND NOT TODAY.

HMM, WHY PUT OFF TOMORROW
WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY?

ANY CLOSER, AND YOU'LL
BE WORKING FOR A DEAD MAN.

I'LL GIVE YOU ENOUGH AIR TO
TELL ME HOW TO GET THIS OFF.

HOW DOES IT OPEN? IS
THERE SOME KIND OF A KEY?

WHERE'S THE KEY, JACK?

CHECK HIS POCKETS.
CRIBB, TREPKOS, ANY OF YOU.

A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE NICE.

OR I CAN JUST DO IT MYSELF.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU, HUH?
NOW YOU'RE REALLY ALONE.

I GOT YOU. GET HIS BROTHER!

LOOK AT HIM, HUH?

IS THIS WHO YOU'RE ALL SO
AFRAID OF GOING UP AGAINST?

HOW DOES IT FEEL, JACK?

TELL 'EM HOW IT
FEELS TO BE IN HERE.

COME ON!

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A SLAVE?

TELL 'EM!

LET HIM GO.

SOON AS YOU LET US GO.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? MOSES?

SOMEONE YOU'LL LISTEN TO IF YOU
WANT YOUR BROTHER BACK ALIVE.

LAST CHANCE.

COME ON, DARIN, WE BOTH KNOW THERE'S
ONLY ONE WAY TO LET THIS PLAY OUT.

SO LET'S JUST GET IT
DONE. HE'S YOUR BROTHER.

NOW HE'S MY DEAD BROTHER.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

LIKE I WAS HIT BY LIGHTNING
AFTER THE TRUCK RAN ME OVER.

I REMEMBER YOU.

WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE
TO MEET. I'M LILAH MORGAN.

YOU'RE A FIGHT FAN.

AND A LAWYER.

LET ME GUESS.

WOLFRAM AND HART.

I'M AN ASSOCIATE HERE.

IT TOOK SOME ARM-TWISTING,

BUT I CONVINCED MACNAMARA TO
SELL YOUR CONTRACT TO THE PARTNERS.

I TOLD HIM THAT KEEPING YOU AROUND
WOULD BE MORE TROUBLE THAN IT WAS WORTH.

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU'RE FREE.

AS LONG AS I PRETEND
IT NEVER HAPPENED,

THAT MACNAMARA AND
HIS CIRCUS DON'T EXIST.

THAT IS THE DEAL, ISN'T IT?

AHH... IT'S A BIG CITY, ANGEL.

A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP.

SO YOU'RE REALLY
A GOOD SAMARITAN,

AND THIS WHOLE PACT-WITH-THE-DEVIL
BUSINESS IS JUST AN ACT.

SOMETIMES YOU
HAVE TO COMPROMISE.

LOOK THE OTHER WAY, YOU MEAN...

WHEN WOLFRAM AND
HART ARE INVOLVED?

I PREFER TO THINK OF IT AS
PICKING THE BATTLES YOU CAN WIN.

THERE'S NOT ONE REASON
WHY WE CAN'T WORK TOGETHER.

[HEAVY SIGH] YOU'RE RIGHT.

THERE ARE ABOUT A THOUSAND.

I SAW WHAT YOU DID TO BAKER.

SO I KNOW YOU WANNA SURVIVE.

THIS IS YOUR ONLY
CHANCE. TAKE IT.

THANKS FOR THE CHAMPAGNE.

RELAX. TAKE ME BACK.

YOU'D THINK PEOPLE WOULD GET ENOUGH
GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE WATCHING JERRY SPRINGER.

CORDELIA, DO YOU MIND?

I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE.

YOU'VE BEEN
CONCENTRATING ALL NIGHT.

YES. IT'S TAKEN THIS LONG
TO TRANSLATE THE TEXT.

I NEED SOMETHING THAT CONDUCTS
ELECTRICITY... BUT NOT TOO MUCH OF IT.

THIS CUFF IS HALF MAGIC,
HALF MEDIEVAL TECHNOLOGY.

IF I READ THE
ALCHEMIST CORRECTLY...

ALL I NEED IS...

OUCH! ARE YOU OK?

PERHAPS, UH, SOMETHING THAT
CONDUCTS A LITTLE LESS ELECTRICITY.

HE WAS FREE.

BLOODSUCKER'S
CRAZIER THAN I THOUGHT.

THINK YOU'RE PROVING SOMETHING
SPECIAL BY COMING BACK HERE?

THEY DIDN'T HELP YOU BEFORE.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA HELP YOU NOW.

EVERY ONE OF THEM KNOWS THE
ONLY WAY OUT OF HERE IS BY HIMSELF,

BUT YOU'LL FIND THAT OUT
SOON ENOUGH BECAUSE TONIGHT,

YOU'RE GONNA FIGHT TREPKOS.

SMART MONEY SAYS HE'S
WALKING OUT THE FRONT DOOR.

YOU'RE HIS 21st KILL.

TOO THICK.

OHH. TICK-TICK, WESLEY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TRY.

WE NEED SOMETHING SUPPLE ENOUGH
TO THREAD THE LOCKING MECHANISM,

BUT STRONG ENOUGH
TO SPRING THE RELEASE.

HORSEHAIR.

HORSEHAIR?

FROM KEANU, MY PALOMINO
BEFORE THE IRS TOOK HIM AWAY.

HORSEHAIR.

WE TRIED JUST ABOUT
EVERYTHING ELSE.

NEXT, PLEASE. WHAT
CAN I DO FOR YOU, MA'AM?

10,000 ON TREPKOS.

TONIGHT'S MATCH FEATURES
A NEW FAVORITE IN THE RING...

A VAMPIRE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE
WELCOME FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW

AND STILL FRESH FROM
HIS FIRST KILL... ANGEL.

HIS OPPONENT IS A FAN FAVORITE
WHO NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION.

THIS MARKS HIS
21st AND FINAL FIGHT.

LET'S GIVE A SPECIAL
WELCOME TO A TRUE CHAMPION...

VAL TREPKOS.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

IS THIS HOW YOU WANNA
PAY FOR YOUR FREEDOM,

WITH 21 BODIES?

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THEIR SLAVE,

EVEN IF THEY TAKE
THAT OFF YOUR WRIST.

I'LL KILL YOU QUICK.

I WON'T LET YOU.

VAMPIRE'S GONNA GET
HIS HEAD RIPPED OFF.

MAYBE HIS HEART TORN OUT.

HEH. WHAT A LOSER.

CAN YOU HELP ME?
I'M A LITTLE LOST.

I'M LOOKING FOR
THE LADIES' ROOM.

THEY SAID IT WAS THIS WAY.
OR IS IT BACK UP ONE LEVEL?

EXCUSE ME. PSST. COME HERE.

YES, YOU.

I NEED TO SEE ANGEL.

TALL FELLOW. UH, PROMINENT BROW.

YEAH, HE'S DEAD.

DEAD?

ABOUT 20 SECONDS, HE WILL BE.

HE'S FIGHTING TREPKOS,
AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

UH, I'M A FRIEND.

PERHAPS WE CAN HELP
EACH OTHER. I HAVE A KEY.

A KEY?

THIS UNLOCKS THE CUFFS.

HELP ME SAVE ANGEL, AND
I'LL GET YOU OUT, ALL OF YOU.

IF WE BAND TOGETHER...
WHAT ARE YOU...

GIVE THAT BACK. HEY!

[CROWDS BOOS AND JEERS]

ALL RIGHT, PUT IN THE STICKS.

WESLEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

ONE OF THEM TOOK MY KEY.

ANGEL CAN'T LAST MUCH LONGER.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW.

WE WILL.

[CROWD CHANTING KILLING BLOW]

[CROWD CHANTING ANGEL]

[CROWD CHANTING KILLING BLOW]

[CROWD CHANTING KILLING BLOW]

BOTH OF THEM.

CALL THEM OFF.

SCREW YOU.

GIVE ME YOUR WRIST.

LOSER.

EHH, YOU STUPID SLAVE.

YOU HAD YOUR 21.

BUT YOU HAD TO GO AND
RUIN IT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE.

Cribb: TREPKOS, CATCH.

YAAH!

OOH.

EASY.

THANKS. THANKS.

IT WAS A GOOD FIGHT.

YEAH.

I COULD'VE TAKEN YOU.

ANGEL, YOU DON'T LOOK SO...

IT'S A GOOD THING YOU HEAL FAST.

YEAH. IT'S ALSO A GOOD
THING YOU FOUND ME IN TIME.

WE WEREN'T GONNA LET
ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU.

WELL, I MEAN, BEYOND THE SLAVERY

AND THE SEVERE
BEATINGS AND STUFF.

WESLEY CAME UP WITH THE KEY.

BUT CORDELIA CAME UP WITH THE
KEY TO THE KEY IN A CLINCH MOMENT.

YOU BOTH DID GREAT.

AND I THINK WE DID A... A
GOOD THING HERE TONIGHT.

YES. WE SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.

WELL, ACTUALLY, DIDN'T WE

SET A BUNCH OF DEMONS FREE?

OH, WELL, TECHNICALLY, YES.

GRR! AARGH!
