Angel (1999–2004): Season 1, Episode 2 - Lonely Heart - full transcript

HEY. MAYBE WE SHOULD
GO OVER THIS THING AGAIN

OF YOU GETTING OUT IN THE WORLD

AND INVOLVING
YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE.

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT.

IT'S THE MOST SOCIAL
NIGHT OF THE WEEK.

I MEAN, A COUPLE OF LOOKERS
LIKE US SHOULD BE OUT THERE

ENJOYING THE NIGHT LIFE.

INSTEAD, YOU'RE SITTING
HERE MOPING AROUND THE DARK

LIKE SOME KIND OF A...

A VAMPIRE?

WELL, YEAH.



I WAS GONNA SAY SLACKER,

BUT, YEAH, TO YOU, MR. OBVIOUS.

YOU GOTTA COME OUT, MAN.

WHY?

BECAUSE I THINK WE DESERVE
A NIGHT OF FUN, DON'T YA THINK?

I MEAN, IT BREAKS UP THOSE
NIGHTS OF DEATH AND MAYHEM.

PLUS, WE COULD TOAST
THE NEW BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, THE THREE OF US.

YEAH. DOYLE, IF YOU
WANNA ASK CORDELIA OUT,

JUST DO IT YOURSELF.

WAIT A MINUTE. I DON'T EVEN
KNOW IF SHE LIKES ME, MAN,

UNLESS YOU PUT A
GOOD WORD IN FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, JUST TELL HER
WHAT A GREAT GUY I AM.

I BARELY KNOW YOU.



PERFECT. THAT SHOULD
MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU, THEN.

Cordelia: HELLO!

YOU KNOW, I'M...

YOU TALKING ME UP TO HER.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LET
HER IN ON ME BEING HALF DEMON.

OK? BECAUSE WOMEN GET
A LITTLE FUNNY ABOUT THAT.

THEY'RE FINALLY IN.

THEY'RE IN.

OK...

YOUR CARDS. THE CARDS.

YOUR CALLING CARDS...

TO LEAVE WITH PEOPLE SO
THEY KNOW HOW TO REACH YOU.

GREAT IDEA! CALLING CARD.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE A SIGNAL
FOLKS CAN SHINE IN THE SKY

WHENEVER YOU NEED HELP, RIGHT?

LOOK AT THAT.
THERE'S OUR NUMBER.

IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO A, UM...

A... A BUTTERFLY?

IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT A
BUTTERFLY, YOU IDIOT.

IT'S... A BIRD. NO,
WAIT. IT'S AN OWL.

A BIRD THAT HUNTS AT
NIGHT. BRILLIANT! IT'S A...

IT'S AN ANGEL.

AN ANGEL. RIGHT. IT'S AN ANGEL.

BRILLIANT. SO OBVIOUS AND YET
SO CLEVER ON SO MANY LEVELS.

OH, SHUT UP. AAH! JEEZ...

COME ON, DON'T BE SUCH A BABY.

I BARELY HIT YOU.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.

DOYLE.

YOU OK, MAN?

YEAH, I'M OK.

SIT UP. WHAT'D YOU
SEE? WHAT'D YOU SEE?

IT'S A BAR.

UH, I THINK I RECOGNIZE IT.

ONE OF THOSE TERMINALLY-STUCK-
IN-THE-EIGHTIES PLACES.

YEAH, AND?

THAT'S IT.

NO FACES POPPED
OUT AT ME, MAN. JUST...

JUST A FEELIN'.

WHAT FEELING?

SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.

LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT YOUR WISH.

WE'RE GOIN' OUT AFTER ALL, HUH?

EXCUSE ME.

MAY I? WHAT?

OH... SURE.

PLEASE.

KEVIN.

SHARON.

GOD, I REALLY HATE
PLACES LIKE THIS.

DON'T YOU?

HEY. CAN I? HI. SURE.

WHEN I WAS A KID, I THOUGHT,
"YOU GROW UP, YOU MEET HER."

AND EVERYTHING JUST
SORT OF FALLS IN PLACE.

YEAH... I HAD THAT.

ONLY I HAD A HIM
WHERE YOU HAD A HER.

ACTUALLY, I JUST HAD
A KEN AND A BARBIE.

HEH. KEN AND BARBIE HAD IT EASY.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO
COME TO PLACES LIKE THIS,

BUT YOU GOTTA TRY.

I MEAN, WHAT IF SHE WAS
HERE AND YOU MISSED HER...

BECAUSE YOU WERE,
TOO, I DON'T KNOW...

BURNED OUT TO STILL BELIEVE?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEDAY

YOU'LL MEET SOMEONE SPECIAL.

I THINK I HAVE.

OH, GOD. I CAN'T
BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT YOU'RE
SPECIAL, BUT IT JUST SOUNDED SO...

NO, IT SOUNDED NICE, KEVIN.

OOH, CLASSY.

OK, NOW WHAT?

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, LET'S SPLIT UP,

LOOK FOR SOMEONE
WHO MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE.

OR SOMETHING THAT'S
ABOUT TO CAUSE IT.

WHAT CAN I GET YA?

UM, I'M JUST WONDERING.

UH, YOU NOTICE ANYTHING
UNUSUAL HERE TONIGHT?

UNUSUAL? YEAH.

YOU KNOW, OUT OF THE ORDINARY?

POSSIBLY EVEN... DANGEROUS?

DON'T WORRY. IT'S EARLY YET.

THE REAL HOT WOMEN DON'T
MOSEY IN TILL AROUND 11:00.

WE CAN HELP.

HI. BEING HARASSED BY
SOMEONE OR SOMETHING?

DIAL US UP DAY OR NIGHT.

HEY, YOU LOOK TROUBLED.

OR IS THAT JUST YOUR LAZY EYE?

ANYWAY, CALL US.
WE'RE VERY DISCREET.

HI! HOW ARE YOU?

HEY, HEY, HEY. THIS ISN'T A
MARKETING SEMINAR, PRINCESS.

YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO OPERATE
A LITTLE BIT MORE BELOW RADAR.

WHAT RADAR?

THE POLICE.

YOU KNOW, THE SERVICE
OUR FRIEND ANGEL PROVIDES

MIGHT PUT SOMEONE
IN MIND OF THE "V" WORD.

VAMPIRE? NO, VIGILANTE.

OH.

THERE'S LAWS AGAINST
THAT SORT OF THING.

YOU NEED TO CHAT PEOPLE UP
A LITTLE BIT MORE CASUAL LIKE.

HI. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
HOW'S LIFE TREATING YA?

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY, MINIONS
FROM HELL GETTING YOU DOWN?

EXCUSE ME, BUT I AM AN ACTRESS,

A STUDENT OF THE HUMAN ANIMAL.

I DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO
PEOPLE TO KNOW THEIR STORY.

JAZZ HANDS... OVER THERE?

MAMA'S BOY. PETER PAN COMPLEX.

SELF-ABSORBED CLOSET DEB

WITH A BIG OLD "THE WORLD
OWES ME" CHIP ON HER SHOULDER.

AND CHECK OUT
SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL.

HAS OR COMES FROM BIG MONEY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THAT?

YOU GOTTA BE RICH TO SNAG

THE CALVIN KLEIN MODEL
SHE'S LEAVING WITH.

YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE ALL
RIVETING INSIGHTS AND EVERYTHING,

BUT WE NEED TO FIND
SOMEONE THAT'S IN TROUBLE.

HOW'S ANGEL DOING?

SERIOUSLY, I WASN'T
HITTING ON YOU.

ARE YOU OK?

WHAT?

OH, NO, NOTHING. SORRY.

NO, UM...

AM I OK?

WELL, YOU JUST LOOKED... BAD.

YOU DON'T LOOK BAD.
YOU LOOK VERY NICE.

I THINK I'M JUST
GONNA HAVE MY DRINK.

THANKS.

FOR THINKING YOU LOOK BAD

OR FOR THINKING YOU LOOK GOOD?

YOU CHOOSE. I'M ANGEL.

I'M... I'M KATE.

SO DO YOU COME HERE A LOT?

FIRST TIME. YOU
KNOW, IT'S REALLY...

EASY? YEAH.

I PREFER THOSE COOL BARS
THAT ARE HARD TO GET INTO,

BUT I CAN'T GET INTO THEM.

ANYWAY, THIS IS CLOSE TO HOME.

SO DID YOU JUST STOP IN?

I'M... I'M SORT OF
LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.

OH, IF I'M KEEPING YOU...

NO, NO. I'M JUST LOOKING
FOR SOMEONE TO...

RESCUE?

ARE YOU MAYBE IN
NEED OF SOME RESCUING?

THAT'S THE STRANGEST
LINE I'M GONNA HEAR TONIGHT.

NO, NO, IT'S NOT A LINE. I'M...

OH, I DIDN'T MEAN...
THAT WAS HARSH.

HEY, NO. YOU KNOW...

I'M NOT VERY GOOD
AT THIS TALKING.

WELL, I'M THE EXPERT.
I'M SURE YOU CAN SEE.

BUT THE ANSWER'S NO.
I DON'T NEED RESCUING.

I GAVE UP ON THE KNIGHT-IN-SHINING-ARMOR
CONCEPT A WHILE AGO.

ANYWAY, I DON'T
EXPECT TO FIND HIM HERE

AT THE INTERNATIONAL
HOUSE OF POSERS.

PEOPLE CAN SURPRISE YOU.

I SOUND LIKE A BIG
HYPOCRITE, DON'T I?

RAGGING ON THIS PLACE. I STILL
COME HERE MOST EVERY NIGHT.

HOW ELSE YOU GONNA MEET
SOMEBODY OUTSIDE OF WORK?

IT'S EITHER THIS OR... SIT
AT HOME ALONE IN THE DARK.

WOULDN'T WANT THAT.

SO, UM... WHAT DO YOU DO?

DO?

FOR A LIVING.

I, UH, WELL,
BASICALLY, I'M, UH...

I HELP... I'M A VETERINARIAN.

REALLY?

I ALWAYS SAY A MAN
THAT LOVES ANIMALS

IS A MAN YOU CAN TRUST.

SO YOU GOT EVERYONE
FIGURED OUT, HUH?

NOT EVERYONE. I
MEAN, YOU I DON'T GET.

ME?

YEAH. WHAT'S WITH THOSE
VISION THINGS OF YOURS?

THEY'RE MESSAGES I GET,

YOU KNOW, FROM
THE HIGHER POWERS,

WHOEVER THEY ARE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S MY GIFT.

IF THAT WAS MY
GIFT, I'D RETURN IT.

HUMPH. I MEAN, YOU
GET THOSE HEADACHES,

AND THEN YOU DO THIS
BLEH THING WITH YOUR FACE.

WHAT THING WITH MY FACE?

PLUS, YOUR VISIONS
ARE KIND OF LAME.

A BAR? THAT'S NICE AND VAGUE.

THEY SHOULD SEND YOU ONE OF
THOSE SELF-DESTRUCTING TAPES,

YOU KNOW, THAT
COMES WITH A DOSSIER.

I'LL BE SURE AND MENTION IT.

HEY, YOU THE ONE
HANDING OUT THESE CARDS?

DO YOU NEED HELP?

I WAS WONDERING, IF THIS
IS REALLY YOUR NUMBER,

MIND IF I RING YOU UP
SOMETIME FOR A DATE?

YEAH, SHE MINDS.

I CAN HANDLE THIS,
OK? YES, I MIND.

THIS IS A BUSINESS CARD.

WE OFFER OUR SERVICES
TO PEOPLE IN NEED.

WELL, I MIGHT BE IN
NEED OF A LITTLE SERVICE.

YOU CHARGE BY THE HOUR?

EXCUSE ME?

ALL RIGHT, JUST EVERYONE
RELAX HERE A LITTLE BIT.

THE LADY'S WITH ME, ALL RIGHT?

NO, I'M NOT!

NOBODY'S TALKING TO YOU, WIPE.

WELL, I GUESS I JUST...

I JUST HAVE A HARD
TIME, YOU KNOW...

TRUSTING PEOPLE.

MALE PEOPLE PARTICULARLY.

IN A PLACE LIKE THIS,
IT'S NOT LIKE ANYBODY'S

GONNA COME UP AND SHOW
YOU WHO THEY REALLY ARE.

EVERYBODY'S TOO
BUSY TRYING TO GET...

I DON'T KNOW...

WHATEVER IT IS
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

DEPENDS HOW MANY
DAIQUIRIS I'VE HAD.

OH, GOD. WAY TO COME
OFF... LIKE A DRUNKEN SLUT.

SLUT'S BETTER THAN A HYPOCRITE,
THOUGH, RIGHT? MOVING UP.

KIND OF HARD ON YOURSELF.

I'M A SELF-FLAGELLATING
HYPOCRITE-SLUT.

WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I GUESS I'M JUST TRYING
TO MAKE A CONNECTION.

THE MORE I COME
TO PLACES LIKE THIS,

THE HARDER IT GETS.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR IN HERE?

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW,

BUT I'LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.

WOULD YOU?

I'M SORRY. FORGET IT.

WHAT?

I WAS JUST GONNA ASK YOU IF
YOU WANTED TO GO SOMEPLACE...

MORE QUIET.

UM, I CAN'T.

I HAVE TO STAY HERE.

RIGHT.

I WOULD.

NO, THAT'S OK.

LISTEN, I DON'T WANT
ANY TROUBLE, OK?

HEY, WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?

THERE'S NO TROUBLE.

DID I NOT JUST GET THROUGH
SAYING WE DIDN'T WANT ANY TROUBLE?

WE ARE TROUBLE-FREE, OK?

TURNS OUT SHE'S A
HOOKER, AND HER PIMP HERE

IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME.

THAT'S IT.

DOWN, CORD, JUST...

DID YOU HEAR WHAT
HE JUST SAID ABOUT ME?

OK, EVERYONE JUST
SIMMER DOWN HERE.

VIOLENCE IS NOT GONNA
SOLVE A THING, ALL RIGHT?

ON THE OTHER HAND,
IT'S KIND OF FESTIVE.

OH, MY GOSH.

OH, MY GOD.

OW.

THOSE TWO JERKS STARTED IT.

HEY, NOT A WORD. NOT A WORD.

EVERY TIME WITH YOU GUYS.

OUT.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

WOW. ARE YOU OK?

YEAH, FINE, THANKS.

YEAH, UM...

I'M OK. UH...

YOU OK?

WELL, NOW, THAT'S
FOR YOU TO FIND OUT.

NO, I MEAN, I'D
REALLY LIKE TO KNOW.

SO, UH, HOW DO
YOU WANNA DO THIS?

20 QUESTIONS?

SO...

MARCIE FROM BARSTOW...

THAT DOESN'T EVEN
RHYME OR ANYTHING.

IT'S WILD. US MEETING
OVER A BAR FIGHT.

ISN'T IT GREAT WHEN 2
PEOPLE MAKE A CONNECTION?

IT'S LATE.

YEAH.

I SHOULD...

I KNOW.

WELL...

WELL, I MEAN, IF
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE,

I UNDERSTAND.

BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO HOLD YOU.

I'M HAVING A HARD TIME
BELIEVING DOYLE'S VISION

MEANT THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO
COME HERE AND BREAK UP A BAR FIGHT.

YEAH, WELL, IF IT WAS, I'M IN FOR
SOME SERIOUS WORKMAN'S COMP.

THINK. COULD EITHER OF YOU SENSE

THAT ANYBODY HERE
TONIGHT NEEDED HELP?

YEAH, EVERYBODY.

THIS SOCIALIZING
THING IS BRUTAL.

I MEAN, I WAS YOUNG
ONCE. I USED TO GO TO BARS.

IT WAS NEVER LIKE THIS.

I USED TO GO TO TAVERNS.

SMALL TOWNS. EVERYBODY
USED TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

YEAH, LIKE HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S EASY TO DATE THERE.

WE ALL HAD SO MUCH IN COMMON.

BEING MONSTER FOOD EVERY
OTHER WEEK, FOR INSTANCE.

WELL, YOU'RE IN THE
BIG, BAD CITY NOW,

WHERE EVERYONE'S A STRANGER,

HIDING BEHIND WALLS,
KEEPING SECRETS.

SORRY, FOLKS. GOTTA
KICK YOU OUT NOW.

SURE.

I GUESS THE SINGLE LIFE'S
PARTICULARLY TOUGH ON YOU.

WHY?

WELL, A COUPLE
HUNDRED YEARS AGO,

THE ONLY THING YOU HAD TO
WORRY ABOUT WAS A HANGOVER.

TODAY, 'CAUSE OF
YOUR CURSE THINGY,

YOU CAN'T SLEEP WITH ANYONE

OR ELSE YOU MIGHT FEEL A
MOMENT OF TRUE HAPPINESS

AND LOSE YOUR SOUL,
BECOME EVIL AGAIN,

AND KILL EVERYONE.

THANKS, CORDELIA, I ALWAYS
APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

NO PROBLEM. HEY,
THE LAST THING I WANT

IS TO SHOW UP AT THE OFFICE
AND FIND THAT I AM WORKING

FOR A HOMICIDAL MONSTER.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS
COMPLETELY WHACK, MAN.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
I'M LOOKING FOR ANYMORE.

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANY MENTION
OF EVENTS IN AND AROUND THAT BAR.

OK, I'M IN THE NEWS
GROUP SEARCH ENGINE.

NOW, WHAT'S THE NAME
OF THE PLACE AGAIN?

D'OBLIQUE.

CAPITAL D, APOSTROPHE,
CAPITAL O-B-L-I...

NOT SO FAST. OK, CAPITAL D...

APOSTROPHE,
APOSTROPHE, APOSTROPHE.

OH, I GOT IT. OK, NOW,
WHAT'S AFTER THAT AGAIN?

HEY, YOU KNOW
WHAT? I NEED A BREAK.

LET ME GET IN HERE.

HOW'D YOU PICK UP
COMPUTER SKILLS?

DOWNLOADING PICTURES
OF NAKED WOMEN?

WELL, THAT'S MORE
OR LESS ACCURATE.

HELLO. WE GOT 2 HITS.

LOOK AT THAT.

"SEARCH CONTINUES
FOR HEATHER NOLAN.

"MISSING SINCE LATE LAST MONTH,

"THE 24-YEAR-OLD PARALEGAL
REPORTEDLY VANISHED

AFTER LEAVING A DOWNTOWN
BAR CALLED D'OBLIQUE."

MISSING GIRL. THAT SOUNDS
A LITTLE MORE UP YOUR ALLEY.

WHAT'S THE SECOND ONE SAY?

"NEARLY 3 WEEKS AGO,

"DESCRIBED BY THE CORONER'S
OFFICE AS EVISCERATED,

"HAS BEEN POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED

"AS THAT OF 28-YEAR-OLD
MARTIN HABER,

"LAST SEEN WITH AN
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE COMPANION

AT D'OBLIQUE, A TRENDY
SINGLES ESTABLISHMENT."

THAT'S IT, THEN.

PROBABLY BEEN A LOT
MORE DISAPPEARANCES

THAT THE PRESS HASN'T
TRACED BACK TO THE BAR YET.

SO, WE GOT A MISSING
GIRL AND A STIFF.

AN EVISCERATED STIFF.

GO DOWNSTAIRS
AND USE THE LIBRARY.

TRY TO NARROW DOWN A
LIST OF EVISCERATING DEMONS,

ONES WHICH MAY HAVE REASONS
TO PREY ON YOUNG SINGLES.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO THE BAR. SEE IF I
CAN MEET A KILLER.

OHH. EXCUSE ME.

WELL, HELLO.

HI... KATE.

UH... I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

REALLY...

YEAH, I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY

FOR LAST NIGHT.

YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING.

NO, IT WAS RUDE.

OK, THEN, UM...

MAYBE YOU CAN BUY ME A
DRINK, AND WE CAN START FRESH.

I DON'T THINK THAT YOU
SHOULD GO IN THERE TONIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I'M NOT SURE IT'S SAFE.

WHAT'S NOT SAFE?

I CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN IT.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH TRUSTING PEOPLE,

AND SURPRISE... YOU'RE
NOT MAKING IT ANY BETTER.

I'M JUST ASKING YOU
NOT TO GO IN THERE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

IN THERE.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I CAN GO WHEREVER I WANT,
AND, UH, YOU CAN GO TO HELL.

BEEN THERE... DONE THAT.

THE USUAL?

THANKS.

YOU KNOW, SOME GUYS
HAVE GOT REAL PROBLEMS.

I'M SORRY. YOU WERE SAYING...

NOTHING. IT'S JUST MY JOB.

YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD
TO MEET PEOPLE.

EVERYBODY IS WATCHING
THEIR OWN BACK.

IT'S TOUGH...

KNOWING WHO YOU CAN TRUST.

I'M SURPRISED.

I WOULD THINK YOU COULD
HAVE YOUR PICK OF GIRLS.

YEAH?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

I... I WAS PRETTY MUCH
A SPAZ IN HIGH SCHOOL.

A REAL "SOMETHING'S
OUT THERE" GEEK,

WITH THE GANG OF
GEEKTOID MINIONS.

I COULDN'T GET A
DATE TO SAVE MY LIFE.

WELL...

IT'S A GOOD THING
HIGH SCHOOL'S OVER.

YEAH.

YO, MAN, WHERE'S KEVIN?

HELL IF I KNOW.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN
HERE TONIGHT. WHY?

DUDE DIDN'T SHOW
UP FOR WORK TODAY.

AND HE'S NOT
ANSWERING HIS PHONE.

PRETTY SURE HE HOOKED UP
WITH SOME GIRL LAST NIGHT.

PROBABLY SLEEPING IT OFF.

WHAT GIRL?

YOU KNOW WHAT? HERE'S,
UH, HERE'S ANOTHER ONE:

PIASCA.

IT'S A FLESH-EATING INDIAN DEMON

THAT ENTERS VICTIMS
THROUGH THE MOUTH

AND EVISCERATES FROM WITHIN.

YOU GONNA PUT THAT ONE DOWN?

YEP. UHH! DEMONS, IS THERE
ANYTHING MORE DISGUSTING?

YOU THINK SO?

COME ON. OK, LOOK AT THIS ONE.

THIS DEMON WEARS A WREATH
OF INTESTINES AROUND ITS HEAD.

I MEAN, HONESTLY, WHAT KIND OF
STATEMENT IS THIS THING TRYING TO MAKE?

WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT
REALLY DEPENDS, DOESN'T IT?

UM, I MEAN, I THINK SOME
DEMONS COULD ACTUALLY BE NICE,

YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.

I THINK YOU'D HAVE TO
GET TO KNOW THEM, YEAH?

I'VE KNOWN A LOT OF
DEMONS AND, SLIME ASIDE,

NOT A LOT GOING ON THERE.

SHARON. SHARON.
HER NAME'S SHARON.

KIND OF A REGULAR.

SHARON?

THAT DOWDY CHICK.

UH, KEVIN. SCRAPING THE
BOTTOM OF THE BARREL.

LOOK, WHERE CAN I FIND SHARON?

SHE'S IN HERE TONIGHT.
NO KEVIN, THOUGH.

I GUESS IT WASN'T
TRUE LOVE AFTER ALL.

AH, SHE WAS THERE
JUST A MINUTE AGO,

GETTING IT ON WITH SOME SCREECH.

YEAH, THAT'S DEFINITELY
MORE HER LEVEL.

OK, ANY IDEA WHERE SHE LIVES?

NO. WHAT ABOUT A LAST NAME?

LAST NAME? NOT A LOT OF
LAST NAMES IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

IT'S RICHLER.

I ASKED HER OUT
A COUPLE OF TIMES.

I'M SORRY.

I WANTED THIS TO GO BETTER.

MAYBE I WAS TRYING TOO HARD.

I JUST REALLY LIKE YOU.

NEXT TIME, IT'LL BE BETTER.

ROLL OVER.

OK.

I THINK SOMETIMES
WHAT WE REALLY NEED...

AAH! AAH! AAH!

YOU'RE NOT HUMAN.

NEWS FLASH, PAL.

YOU'RE A BIT OFF THE
EVOLUTIONARY CHART YOURSELF.

THIS HAS TO STOP.
YOU HAVE TO STOP.

I WILL, WHEN I FIND
THE RIGHT ONE,

THE ONE I CAN STAY WITH.

THE RIGHT BODY?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS ONE?

NOTHING... YET.

IT'S NEW AND DIFFERENT.

IT'S GREAT...

BUT IT WON'T LAST.

I ALREADY KNOW IT'S
NOT THE ONE I CAN LIVE IN.

THEN IT'LL HAVE TO
BE THE ONE YOU DIE IN.

KATE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

LOOK, I KNOW WHAT
THIS LOOKS LIKE.

SO DO I.

L.A.P.D. YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO... I WAIVE IT.

HOW'D YOU FIND ME?

I'VE BEEN TRACKING
YOU SINCE LAST NIGHT.

LISTEN... DON'T
MOVE! NOT A STEP.

BACKUP IS ON THE WAY.

WE'RE ON THE SAME SIDE.
I'M AFTER THIS GUY, TOO.

YOU'RE TELLING ME
YOU'RE AN INVESTIGATOR?

MORE OR LESS.
WHERE'S YOUR LICENSE?

RIGHT. THAT'S THE LESS PART.

KATE, YOU DON'T
KNOW. YOU DIDN'T SEE...

WHAT I SEE IS THE CARVING
JOB OF AN IMPOTENT SICKO.

IT'S FRUSTRATING, ISN'T IT,

NOT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT?

TO LOVE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE?

HOW DO YOU GET THEM
TO TRUST YOU, ANGEL?

GIVE THEM THE BIG, DARK EYES?

THE "I'M-NOT-GOOD-
WITH-TALK" SPEECH?

LOOK, HE GIVES THEM
WHAT THEY'RE LONGING FOR.

AND THAT IS? HOPE.

THAT THEIR LONELINESS MIGHT END,

AND HE'S GONNA
KEEP DOING IT AGAIN...

UNLESS I LET YOU GO
SO YOU CAN STOP HIM.

SAVE ME THE LINES.
I'VE HEARD THEM.

AND I'VE HEARD YOURS.

SOMETHING ABOUT NOT
BEING ABLE TO TRUST PEOPLE?

TURN AROUND.

I'M SORRY.

IS THAT A CONFESSION?

I DIDN'T DO THAT.
I'M SORRY FOR THIS.

WOW! THIS PLACE IS, UH...

I THOUGHT GIRLS WERE
SUPPOSED TO LIKE PRETTY THINGS?

OH, DON'T START, OK?

ANGEL TOLD US TO MEET
HERE, SO WE'RE MEETING HERE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN THAT YOU CAN...

THAT IS SO HIGH SCHOOL.

"CORDELIA WEARS BRAS.
OOH, SHE HAS GIRL PARTS."

TAKE IT EASY. YOU'RE
BEING A TAD DEFENSIVE HERE.

I THINK IT IS REFRESHING

TO SEE A WOMAN LIVING LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, IT MEANS
YOU'RE NOT SO UPTIGHT.

YOU LIVE FOR THE MOMENT.

YOU'RE DISGUSTING.

WHO IS IT?

Angel: IT'S ME.

OH, MY GOD!

ARE YOU OK?

LOOK, I CAN'T, UM...

INVITE HIM IN. AS
LONG AS YOU'RE ALIVE,

VAMPIRES, THEY CAN'T CROSS THE
THRESHOLD UNLESS YOU INVITE...

OH, RIGHT, RIGHT. YOU
PROMISE YOU'LL STAY GOOD?

CORDELIA. I'M KIDDING. COME IN.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO
YOU, MAN? YOU LOOK WRECKED.

THAT WOMAN THAT I WAS
TALKING TO AT THE BAR LAST NIGHT,

YOU KNOW, KATE?

SHE'S THE KILLER? SHE'S A COP.

FOLLOWED ME TO ANOTHER BODY.

NOW SHE THINKS
YOU'RE THE KILLER.

YEAH. SO WE DON'T
HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO...

YOU ACTUALLY LIVE HERE?

YES, OK?

IS IT MY FAULT THAT MAID
SERVICE WAS INTERRUPTED?

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO
HOME, HOTEL, HOTEL, HUSBAND.

NOW, CAN WE MOVE ON?

YEAH, WELL, WE PUT TOGETHER
THAT LIST OF EVISCERATING DEMONS

THAT YOU ASKED FOR.

WE ACTUALLY NARROWED
IT DOWN TO 3 OR 4...

I SAW IT. IT'S A BURROWER.

IT'S A DONKEY?

OH, WE DIDN'T SEE
ANY DONKEY DEMONS.

BURROWER. OH.

IT EVISCERATES ITS VICTIMS
AS IT GOES FROM BODY TO BODY,

AND THEN MAY ONLY
BE ABLE TO DO IT

AFTER SOME KIND OF SEX ACT,

EXCHANGE OF FLUIDS THING.

LOVELY. EWWW!

LOOK, I WANT YOU GUYS TO
FIND OUT ANYTHING YOU CAN

ABOUT THIS THING,
WEAKNESSES, ESPECIALLY.

IT WAS AMAZINGLY STRONG
WHILE WE WERE FIGHTING.

IT MAY BE HARD TO KILL.

HEY, WE'RE ON IT.

GOOD.

I'M GONNA GET BACK TO THE BAR,

SEE IF I CAN FIND THIS THING.

WELL, WHAT MAKES
YOU THINK IT WILL SHOW?

IT KNOWS YOU'RE AFTER IT.

IT'LL BE OUT THERE.

IT'S GOTTA KEEP TRYING
TO MAKE THE CONNECTION.

WHY?

'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT
LONELY PEOPLE DO.

♪ THE LIZARDS AND
THE DYING ROSE ♪

♪ IS PROOF I DON'T
NEED YOU ALONG ♪

♪ THE DEMIGODS
AND ANGRY GHOSTS ♪

♪ SO GOD, GOD KNOWS
I'M NOT AT HOME ♪

♪ OH, I'LL NEVER FIND
SOMEONE QUITE LIKE YOU ♪

♪ AGAIN ♪

♪ I'LL NEVER FIND SOMEONE
QUITE LIKE YOU AGAIN ♪

♪ I ♪

♪ I LOOKED INTO YOUR
EYES AND SIGHED ♪

♪ OH, THAT DOES NOT EXIST ♪

♪ I LOOKED INTO YOUR
EYES AND SIGHED ♪

♪ OH, I WISH I WAS... ♪

MORNING. HEY, UH...

SO ANY LUCK YET?

NO, NOT YET.

I KNOW I CAN
RECOGNIZE THIS THING

IF I JUST SAW IT
IN ANOTHER BODY.

THAT SHOULDN'T
BE A PROBLEM THEN.

THAT NARROWS IT
DOWN TO ABOUT, WHAT,

5 MILLION SUSPECTS
IN THE NAKED CITY?

HOW ABOUT YOU, DID
YOU FIND ANYTHING?

UH, UH, UM, YEAH, WE FOUND A
NAME FOR THIS BURROWER GUY.

UH, TALAMOUR.

HE'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER,
A DAWN-OF-TIME KINDA DUDE.

ANY WEAKNESSES?
FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.

THIS KID IS STRONG,
LIKE YOU SAID.

HE'S NOT TOO CRAZY
ABOUT FIRE, THOUGH.

SOMETHING WE HAVE IN COMMON.

IT'S A PARASITE, MOVES
FROM BODY TO BODY.

AND WHEN IT STARTS TO
LEAVE ONE FOR THE NEXT,

NOT GONNA GAG HERE, BUT THE FIRST
ONE GOES KAPLOOEY PRETTY FAST.

YEP, CURDLES LIKE
CREAM ON A HOT DAY.

I BELIEVE I COVERED THAT
WITH NON-DAIRY KAPLOOEY.

I'M GONNA NEED HELP
TO FIND THIS THING.

WELL, WHO YOU CALLING?

KATE.

CAGNEY AND LACEY KATE?

I THOUGHT WE WERE
HIDING FROM HER.

WE WERE. BUT SHE'S BEEN TRACKING
THIS THING A LOT LONGER THAN WE HAVE.

LOCKLEY.

Angel: IT'S ME.

I NEED YOU TO HELP
ME FIND THE KILLER.

WELL, THAT'S EASY.
I'M TALKING TO HIM.

NO, NOW THAT WOULD MAKE
THINGS NICE AND CLEAN, WOULDN'T IT?

BUT IT'S NOT TRUE, AND I THINK
SOME PART OF YOU KNOWS THAT.

LOOK, HE'S STILL OUT THERE. WE
SHOULD BE SHARING INFORMATION.

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

ALL I NEED IS 5 MINUTES.

IF YOU STILL THINK I'M YOUR
MAN AFTER THAT, ARREST ME.

MEET ME AT THE BAR AT 7:00.

SURE, THAT'S ACTUALLY
ON MY TO-DO LIST THIS WEEK,

WALK INTO A SERIAL
KILLER'S TRAP.

LOOK, I DON'T CARE IF YOU COME ARMED,
WIRED, AND COVERED BY SHARPSHOOTERS.

DO WHATEVER IT
TAKES TO FEEL SECURE.

I CAN HELP YOU, KATE, BUT
YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST ME.

KATE, THE USUAL?

THAT'S NOT YOUR USUAL.

EVERY NOW AND THEN I'M IN THE
MOOD FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

LOOK, YOU KNOW THAT GUY THAT
WAS IN HERE THE OTHER NIGHT?

HE WAS TALL, NICE-LOOKING,
HELPED YOU OUT IN THE BAR FIGHT?

SURE, SURE.

LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS
HE GETS HERE, WOULD YOU?

YEAH, YOU BET.

THANKS.

GOD, I HATE PLACES
LIKE THIS, DON'T YOU?

I DO, BUT, UM... I
KINDA GUESSED THAT.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE
IN YOUR ELEMENT HERE,

WHICH IS A
COMPLIMENT, BY THE WAY.

THANKS. UH, LOOK, I WOULD
REALLY LOVE TO CHAT,

BUT I'M... ACTUALLY, I'M
WAITING FOR SOMEONE.

THAT GUY YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

I THINK HE'S OUT BACK IN THE
ALLEY. WHAT IS HE DOING THERE?

I WAS JUST TAKING OUT SOME
TRASH AND THERE HE WAS.

LOOKED LIKE HE
WAS READY TO RABBIT.

SHOW ME.

SORRY.I GUESS YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO KEEP TROLLING.

CALL THIS NUMBER. TELL THE
SERGEANT THAT I NEED... AAH!

KATE?

KATE?

CAN YOU MOVE?

MOVE!

I GUESS YOU'RE
DONE WITH THAT BODY.

IT'S TOUGH BEING THE GUY.

YOU DON'T GET TO FINISH. YOU
JUST COME APART AT THE SEAMS.

HE'S NOT GONNA LEAVE.
HE'S GONNA KILL AGAIN, NOW.

YOU THINK SO?

HE HAS TO.

UH!

HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?

I BEEN NOTICING HOW
GRACEFUL YOU MOVE,

AND WAS WONDERING IF YOU
WERE, LIKE, A DANCER OR SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I WISH I COULD MOVE...

HEY, EXCUSE ME. THAT'S REALLY A
BEAUTIFUL DRESS YOU'RE WEARING.

I MEAN IT.

REALLY BRINGS
OUT YOUR SKIN TONE.

NOW WHAT?

WOULD YOU LIKE A
DRINK OR SOMETHING?

'CAUSE I'M, LIKE, THE
BARTENDER HERE.

JUST... WANT TO
TALK TO SOMEBODY.

OPEN UP,

WANT TO MAKE A CONNECTION.

WE'RE GOING OUT THAT WINDOW.

IT'S ALMOST 20 FEET UP.

WHO ARE YOU?

PLEASE, I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU.

OHH!

RUN!

IT ALL SEEMS TO ADD UP.

THE BARTENDER WAS
CONNECTED TO EVERYONE.

I MUST HAVE TALKED
TO HIM A DOZEN TIMES.

I NEVER HAD A CLUE.

IT'S HARD TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE.

YES, IT IS.

I DIDN'T THANK YOU...

FOR SAVING MY LIFE.

I THINK SAVING MINE WAS A START.

I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW
I SEARCHED YOUR PLACE,

ILLEGALLY, NO WARRANT.

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME?

I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS SO WE CAN START FRESH,

NO SECRETS.

THAT'S SOME PRETTY WEIRD
STUFF FOR A VETERINARIAN.

LOOK, IF YOU EVER NEED ME

OR IF I CAN HELP
YOU IN ANY WAY...

WHAT IS THIS, A LOBSTER?

UH...

I'LL BE AROUND.

Man: DETECTIVE LOCKLEY,

MAY I SPEAK WITH
YOU A MINUTE? YES, SIR.

WHAT'S UP?

I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE
BEEN WORKING HARD,

I MEAN, COOPED UP INSIDE A LOT.

AND, UH, TO SHOW MY
APPRECIATION, I WAS THINKING,

THE NIGHT BEING, YOU
KNOW, YOUNG AND ALL,

THAT THE 3 OF US...

COULD... WELL, SHOULD...

YOU KNOW, MAYBE, UH,

GO OUT.

YOU KNOW...

FOR FUN.

OR WE CAN GO HOME.

AND YOU COULD SIT
IN THE DARK ALONE.

GOD, YES. THANK YOU.

GRR! ARRGH!
