Angel (1999–2004): Season 4, Episode 13 - Salvage - full transcript

WELL. THAT'S NO FUN.

LILAH?

OH, GEEZ, FELLAS. THIS
ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

A LITTLE TOO TART FOR ME ANYWAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, WES?

CATCH YOU LATER.

- OW!
- SHE OKAY?

SHE'S LOST A LOT OF
BLOOD. WHERE'S ANGELUS?

GONE. HE KILLED LILAH.

OH, GOD.

IT'S STARTED.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?



WHY AREN'T WE GOING
AFTER HIM? NO NEED.

HE'LL BE BACK. HOW DO YOU KNOW?

WE'RE THE ONES HE WANTS TO
HURT... THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO ANGEL.

I SAY WE DUST HIM
BEFORE HE GETS A CHANCE.

THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF RECKLESS THINKING
THAT ALLOWED ANGELUS TO DOUBLE BACK ON US,

GIVING HIM THE CHANCE TO...

FROM NOW ON, WE ALL STAY CLOSE.

AND DO WHAT?

IF ANGELUS IS COMING BACK FOR US, WE
CAN'T JUST BE WAITING FOR HIM TO DROP BY.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING... BOARD UP
THE WINDOWS, MAKE IT SAFE SOMEHOW.

DON'T YOU THINK?

WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF HE
WANTS IN, NOTHING'S GONNA STOP HIM.

BIRTH OF A NOTION, KIDS. WE
USE THE SANCTUARY SPELL.

THAT ANTI-DEMON VIOLENCE
CHARM I USED DOWN AT CARITAS?



IT WON'T KEEP ANGELUS
FROM MAKIN' A HOUSE CALL,

BUT IT SHOULD KEEP
CARNAGE DOWN TO A MINIMUM.

- THAT TAKES SOME DOIN',
DOESN'T IT?
- WELL, I COULD CALL THE FURIES.

MAYBE THEY COULD TECH-SUPPORT
ME THROUGH A QUICKIE VERSION.

MAGIC AGAIN.

YOU PEOPLE RELY WAY
TOO MUCH ON THAT JUNK.

WE USE WHATEVER TOOLS WE HAVE.

YEAH, ONLY, IT NEVER REALLY
WORKS THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE,
ISN'T IT? WHY HE'S LOOSE?

CORDY, WHY DIDN'T IT WORK? THE
SPELL TO BRING ANGEL'S SOUL BACK...

DID... DID WE DO
SOMETHING WRONG?

- I DON'T KNOW.
- - HOW'D YOU GET SO FOOLED, LORNE?

READIN' ANGELUS WRONG LIKE THAT.
YOU WERE SO SURE HE WAS ANGEL.

DON'T PUT THIS ON HIM. I'M
THE ONE WHO LET ANGELUS OUT.

- IT'S MY FAULT.
- IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT.

I'LL TELL YOU WHOSE FAULT IT IS.

THE POWERS THAT SIT ON THEIR BEHIND,
SENDIN' US USELESS, CRYPTIC MESSAGES.

WE HAVE TO DESTROY HER.

- WHAT?
- THE BODY. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN TURNED.

SIRED, YOU MEAN? NO.
THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME.

- YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
- HELL I DON'T.

IT HAPPENED TO...
NO, HE'S RIGHT.

WE CAN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

♪♪

HEY. HEY.

ISN'T THAT... YEAH.

THAT'S RIGHT, BROTHERS AND
SISTERS. THE RUMORS ARE TRUE.

ANGEL HAS LEFT THE
BUILDING, AND I AM BACK.

WELCOME BACK!

BUT, HEY, I'M NO DIFFERENT
THAN THE NEXT GUY.

I PUT MY VICTIMS' SKIN
ON ONE LEG AT A TIME.

ANGELUS! REMEMBER ME?

NOT REALLY. OH, COME ON.

A LITTLE TOWN OUTSIDE
TUSCANY. 1845, GIVE OR TAKE.

ROSARIA!

ROSARIA, HUH? YEAH!

FLEW IN WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHEN
WE HEARD ABOUT THE PERMANENT MIDNIGHT.

HEY, A BUNCH OF US ARE GONNA RAID A
PRESCHOOL LATER. YOU WANT TO JOIN US?

HAVE A LITTLE KIDDIE COCKTA...

EVERYBODY WANTS A PIECE OF YOU.

I'M LOOKIN' FOR THE BEAST. GUY OVER THERE TOLD
ME YOU MIGHT KNOW WHERE HE HANGS HIS HORNS.

WHOA! YOU'RE HIM. TALKIN' TO ME.

NOT USUALLY IMPRESSED BY VAMPIRES,
BUT THIS IS SUCH A... SUCH AN HONOR.

HEY, COULD YOU SIGN A LITTLE SOMETHIN'
FOR MY HELL-SPAWN? MAKE IT OUT TO ASHLEY.

SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE...

MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME,
HUH? WHERE IS THE BEAST?

- I-I DON'T KNOW! I SWEAR!
- I SEEN HIM... THE BEAST.

SEEN HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES,
DOWN BY THE BUILDING BY THE WASH.

SHOW ME.

WHY SO GLUM?

IT IS KIND OF WHAT
YOU WANTED, ISN'T IT?

I MEAN, DEEP DOWN.

ME OUT OF THE PICTURE.

UTTERLY, FINALLY.

YOU CAN'T GET "OUTER" THAN THIS.

MAKES YOUR LIFE
SIMPLER, DOESN'T IT?

CLEANER? I DIDN'T WANT THIS.

COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT, WESLEY?

YOU HATED YOURSELF
FOR BEING WITH ME.

OR MAYBE YOU JUST
HATED YOURSELF...

FOR LOVING BEING WITH ME.

HEY, SEMANTICS.

IN ANY CASE, WE BOTH KNEW...

SOONER OR LATER IT
WOULD COME TO A MESSY END.

FOR ONE OF US, ANYWAY.

SO EASE UP ON THAT
FURROWED BROW.

YOU'RE FREE NOW.

NO LONGER ENCUMBERED WITH THE
SECRET SHAME OF OUR RELATIONSHIP.

IT WASN'T A RELATIONSHIP.

THERE'S A SIGNED DOLLAR BILL IN
YOUR WALLET I THINK PROVES DIFFERENT.

YOU KNEW HOW I
FELT. YOU DON'T FEEL.

THE ONLY TRUE THING I
EVER... YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME.

YOU COULDN'T.

WE'LL NEVER KNOW NOW, WILL WE?

YEAH, I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS
THE PLACE. THIS IS THE PLACE, RIGHT?

HEY, MAN, YOU SAW
THE THING, I DIDN'T.

WHERE WAS THE BEAST HEADED?
UH, I CAN'T REMEMBER, MAN.

TRY REMEMBERING
HARDER, PACO. OKAY.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO STEER CLEAR OF THAT MAMMOTH,
ALL RIGHT? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, MAN.

LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING.
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO...

HEY. HEY, MAN, YOU WANT
WE SHOULD COME WITH?

UH, ALL RIGHT. WE'LL
JUST STAY HERE.

MAN, YOU MADE HIM
NERVOUS! DAMN! ME?

MM-HMM. YEAH, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, NOT SO
FAST, GIRLS. ONE AT A TIME.

YEAH, OKAY.
"VIOLENCE RESTRAINED."

UH-HUH. GO ON.

- THAT'S EVERYTHING
WE COULD FIND.
- THEY SAY WE NEED BLOODROOT.

BLOODROOT? WE JUST RAIDED THE SPICE RACK IN
THE KITCHEN. AIN'T NO BLOODROOT IN THERE.

EIGHTY-SIX ON THE BLOODROOT,
LADIES. ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN...

WELL, YEAH. I HAVE, UH, PAPRIKA,

GINGER, ALLSPICE, CLOVES.

CLOVES? THAT'LL WORK?

OH, GOT IT. BEAUTIFUL.

HEY, AS SOON AS F.T.D. IS
DELIVERING IN THE CITY AGAIN,

EXPECT A BIG "THANKS A
BUNCH" BOUQUET FROM ME, GIRLS.

CIAO.

SOUNDS LIKE WE GOT
OUR HOME SECURITY SPELL.

RIGHT YOU ARE, MISSY. AS SOON AS WE SPRINKLE
BURNT CLOVE DUST AROUND THE PERIMETER,

LIGHT A FEW CANDLES, INCANT A
FEW CHOICE PHRASES, WE'LL BE...

HURRY UP AND DO IT. THE SOONER
WE QUIT PLAYING WITH MAGIC TRICKS,

THE SOONER WE FIND
AND KILL ANGELUS.

WESLEY SAYS WE
SHOULDN'T GO AFTER HIM.

I DON'T GIVE A FLYING "SLUK" WHAT
WESLEY SAYS. HE'S NOT MY BOSS.

WHERE THE HELL IS HE, ANYWAY?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
TO CHOP OFF LILAH'S HEAD?

BOSS OR NO, HE'S RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS WE STAY
TOGETHER TILL WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

I KNOW WHAT WE HAVE
TO DO. ANGEL TOLD ME.

SOMETHING GOES
WRONG, I KILL HIM.

- OH! NOW YOU LISTEN TO HIM.
- AREN'T WE - FORGETTING SOMETHING?

ANGEL'S SOUL IS STILL
OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

THAT MEANS THERE'S STILL A
CHANCE WE COULD BRING HIM BACK.

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE
BEFORE WE GIVE UP ON THAT PLAN?

I DON'T KNOW, CONNOR. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE
TO DIE WITHOUT ANGEL AROUND TO SAVE THEM?

IT'S WAY TOO LATE FOR THAT.

I'VE SEEN HIS TRUE FACE.

AND HE'S TASTED BLOOD.

THERE'S NO GOIN' BACK NOW.

HE HAS TO BE DESTROYED.
AND I'M THE DESTROYER.

CONNOR, DON'T DO THIS.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

COME BACK. YOU CAN'T...

CORDY!

GET HER TO THE COUCH.

WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU FAINTED. OH.

YOU MEAN, LIKE THIS? ALL
RIGHT. LET'S GET HER UPSTAIRS.

I'LL DO IT.

WE'RE NOT GONNA
BE ABLE TO STOP HIM.

ANGELUS? CONNOR.

FIRST CHANCE THAT BOY
GETS, HE'S GONNA KILL ANGELUS.

YEAH. MORE LIKELY DIE TRYIN'.

TROUBLE IS, WE CAN'T
KEEP THAT BOY IN CHECK.

YEAH, WELL, ANGEL
ASIDE, WHO COULD?

430019, COMIN' OUT!

COME ON! COME ON, GIRL.

OVER HERE! OVER HERE!

OKAY, YOU GOT MY ATTENTION.
WHAT'S YOUR BEEF, DEB?

YOU REALLY OUGHTA THINK TWICE.

OR NOT.

NOTHIN' PERSONAL.

I NEED THE MONEY!

- FOR THE NOSE JOB?
- BREAK IT UP. COME ON. COME ON.

HEY, SELF-DEFENSE. SHE ATTACKED
ME, EDDIE. YEAH, I SAW THE WHOLE THING.

COME ON. GET HER
TO THE INFIRMARY.

- WAIT, YOU SAW?
- HEY, CAUGHT US BY SURPRISE.

I MEAN, WHO'D BE CRAZY
ENOUGH TO TRY TO TAKE YOU OUT?

I KNOW WHAT IT IS...

THE REASON YOU'RE HAVING
SUCH A HARD TIME WITH THIS.

WHY YOU'RE TAKING
SO LONG TO, YOU KNOW...

THE AWFUL TRUTH?

YOU COULDN'T SAVE ME.

AND THIS IS THE EXCLAMATION
POINT. SAVED YOU FROM THE BEAST.

FOR ALL THE GOOD IT DID.

WESLEY, YOU KNOW THAT'S
NOT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU COULDN'T SAVE ME FROM ME.

IS THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT?

ME? LOVER, I'M NOT EVEN HERE.

I'M JUST A FIGMENT IN YOUR
DEVILISHLY HANDSOME HEAD.

SO CLEARLY, IT'S
WHAT YOU THOUGHT.

FOR ALL YOUR SUPPOSED DARKNESS,

YOUR "EDGE OF THE
RAZOR" MYSTIQUE,

THERE WAS ALWAYS A
SMALL PART OF YOU...

THAT THOUGHT YOU COULD PULL ME
BACK FROM THE BRINK OF MY EVIL, EVIL WAYS.

HELP ME FIND REDEMPTION.

REDEMPTION?

ANGEL'S INFLUENCE, I SUPPOSE.

THE WHOLE "NOT GIVING UP ON SOMEONE
NO MATTER HOW FAR HE OR SHE HAS FALLEN."

OH, WELL. TOO LATE FOR ME.

SO LET'S JUST GET IT OVER WITH.

THAT BODY'S NOT GONNA
DISMEMBER ITSELF, YOU KNOW.

I'M SORRY, LILAH. OH, WES.

WE DON'T HAVE THAT
WORD IN OUR VOCABULARY.

NOT PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND...

THIS HOW YOU
TREAT AN OLD FRIEND?

KILL THE CHICK I WAS CHASING,

THEN LURE ME HERE...

WITH THE SCENT OF HER BLOOD.

WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS, ANGELUS.

I KNOW.

BUT CALLIN' YOU A BIG
DUMB HUNK OF ROCK...

SEEMED A LITTLE ON THE NOSE.

COME ON, MAN. I'M TEASING.

IT'S BEEN WHAT, A COUPLE
OF HUNDRED YEARS,

AND YOU STILL WANT
TO KICK MY ASS?

IT'S TRUE I LONG TO CRUSH YOUR SKULL,
BUT I DIDN'T BRING YOU HERE TO FIGHT.

- THAT WASN'T MY INSTRUCTION.
- YOUR INSTRUCTION?

- MY MASTER HAS REQUESTED YOU.
- YOUR MASTER.

NICE WORKMANSHIP.

- DID YOU MAKE THIS
IN SHOP FOR DADDY?
- DON'T TOUCH THAT.

SORRY. I CAN SEE YOU PUT
A LOT OF YOURSELF INTO IT.

SO, THE ATTACK ON
ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS,

RAIN OF FIRE,
BLOTTIN' OUT THE SUN...

STEALING YOUR SOUL.

ALL DESIGNED BY MY MASTER TO
BRING FORTH AND KEEP ANGELUS.

WELL, HELL OF A PLAN.

REAL BIG-PICTURE THINKING.

SO, WHEN CAN I MEET THE BIG
BRAIN BEHIND MY LIBERATION?

IN TIME.

FOR NOW, YOU WILL TAKE
YOUR ORDERS THROUGH ME.

OR HERE'S A BETTER
IDEA. NO, I WON'T.

TELL YOUR BOSS I'M
GRATEFUL FOR THE ATTENTION,

BUT I DON'T TAKE GROCERY
LISTS FROM THE MESSENGER BOY.

I WILL TEACH YOU RESPECT.

LOOK, YOU MAY HAVE PLAYED
THOSE SUCKERS AT ANGEL, INC.

BUT I DON'T LIKE HAVIN'
MY STRINGS YANKED.

AND I DON'T LIKE BEING
KEPT IN THE DARK.

FIGURATIVELY, ANYWAY.

AND IF YOUR BOSS WAS HALF
AS SMART AS HE THINKS HE IS,

HE KNOWS I WON'T TAKE
ORDERS FROM A LACKEY.

WHAT? YOU DON'T LIKE "LACKEY"?

MMM. WELL, HOW
ABOUT, UH, "TOADY"?

OR "LICKSPITTLE." COME
ON. "LICKSPITTLE'S" NICE.

OH, WAIT. I'VE GOT IT. "FLUNKY."

THAT'S IT. YOU'RE JUST
A BIG, STUPID, BUTT-UGLY,

SLOW-MOVING FLUNKY.

AH, COME ON, ROCKY. IF THAT'S ALL YOU GOT, YOU
BETTER THROW IN THE TOWEL AND CALL IT A NIGHT.

WHEN THE BEASTMASTER'S READY
TO PEEK OUT FROM BEHIND YOUR SKIRT,

HAVE HIM GIVE ME A CALL.

WELL, YOU HANDLED
THAT BRILLIANTLY.

HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? LETTING HIM
BAIT YOU INTO A FIGHT LIKE THAT.

I HAVEN'T SPENT ALL
THIS TIME AND ENERGY...

SO YOU CAN MESS IT ALL UP
WITH YOUR PETTY JEALOUSIES.

YOU KNOW ANGELUS
IS CRUCIAL TO MY PLAN.

MY APOLOGIES, MY MASTER.

YOU NEED PATIENCE.

HE'LL COME AROUND WHEN
HE SEES WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER.

AND IF HE DOESN'T,

YOU CAN PULL OFF HIS
HEAD AND TEAR HIM TO BITS.

NOW,

GIVE MAMA SOME SUGAR.

"VIOLENCE RESTRAINED,
DEMONS DISARMED.

"FOR MORTALS WITHIN
THESE WALLS, NO HARM.

"PROTECTION AND SAFETY
THIS CHARM DOTH ENDOW...

TO MAKE THIS SHELTER
A SANCTUARY NOW."

THAT IT?

WELL, IF WE FOLLOWED THE RECIPE,

SHOULD BE CAKE.

A "DEMON VIOLENCE-FREE
ZONE" CAKE.

I DON'T KNOW, LORNE. DOESN'T
FEEL LIKE ANYTHING'S DIFFERENT.

'CAUSE IT'S NOT. LIKE EVERY OTHER LAME
SPELL YOU PEOPLE TRY, IT DIDN'T WORK.

NEVER WORKS. I'VE PRETTY MUCH
CONCLUDED THAT MAGIC SUCKS.

I MEAN, IF I WERE YOU
GUYS, I WOULDN'T...

SEE? IT WORKS SOMETIMES. OOH!

IT ALSO SMARTS LIKE THE DICKENS.

SANCTUARY SPELL'S WORKING?

YEAH, LIKE A CHARM. LITERALLY.

- GOOD. MAKE THIS EASIER.
- MAKE WHAT EASIER?

- WHERE'S CORDELIA?
- UPSTAIRS, ASLEEP.

SHE STILL FEELS WEAK.

- MAKE WHAT EASIER?
- WE'RE GONNA BRING
ANGELUS IN ALIVE.

NO, WE'RE NOT. THOUGHT YOU SAID
CAPTURING HIM WASN'T AN OPTION.

- CHANGED MY MIND.
- CHANGE IT BACK.

WE GET RID OF
ANGELUS, THEN WHAT?

WE STILL HAVE A BEAST
WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO KILL.

WE KNOW IT'S WORKING FOR SOMETHING
MUCH WORSE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

WE'RE CAUGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF A MAELSTROM,

AND WE CAN'T GET OUT
WITHOUT OUR CHAMPION.

WE'RE GONNA SAVE ANGEL.

AND I KNOW WHO WE
NEED TO HELP US DO IT.

THEY TOLD ME MY LAWYER
WAS HERE TO SEE ME.

YOU MY LAWYER NOW, WES?

HELLO, FAITH. HOW ARE YOU?

STILL ALIVE.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE LONG
ENOUGH TO SEE YOU PAYIN' ME A VISIT.

A LOT'S HAPPENED.

WHATEVER IT IS SUITS YOU. I
MEAN, YOU'RE LOOKIN'... GOOD.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN L.A.

SEEN THE NEWS, SURE.

NEVER-ENDING
NIGHT, RAIN OF FIRE.

TEAM ANGEL MUST REALLY HAVE THEIR
HANDS FULL. YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT.

BUT YOU'RE HERE TO FILL
IN THE BLANKS FOR ME. WHY?

WE NEED YOU.

WELL, UH, HATE TO WET
THE PAPER FOR YOU, WES,

BUT I'M KINDA
UNAVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.

MAYBE YOU WANT TO CHECK BACK IN A
FEW DECADES WHEN MY PAROLE COMES UP.

- YOU NEED TO KNOW.
- IT'S ARMAGEDDON AGAIN. I DIG.

LAST THING YOU
NEED'S ME IN THE MIX.

BESIDES, ANGEL'LL COME SHINING
THROUGH IN THE END LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES.

ANGEL'S GONE, FAITH.

ANGELUS IS BACK.

STEP AWAY FROM THE GLASS.

YOU OKAY? FIVE BY FIVE.

A KID? ANGEL'S GOT A KID?

CONNOR.

A TEENAGE KID, BORN LAST YEAR?

I TOLD YOU. HE GREW
UP IN A HELL DIMENSION.

RIGHT.

AND WHAT, CORDELIA
SPENT HER LAST SUMMER AS...

- A DIVINE BEING.
- UH-HUH.

CAN I JUST ASK...

WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU PEOPLE DOIN'?

LEADING COMPLICATED
LIVES, OBVIOUSLY.

UNLEASHING ANGELUS TO HELP YOU
STOP THIS DEMON WHO PUT THE LIGHTS OUT.

- THAT'S JUST...
- THE BEAST.

THE DEMON WHO PUT OUT THE
LIGHTS IS CALLED THE BEAST.

GAS TO THE FLAME
IS ALL I'M SAYIN'.

I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE
POLICE COMING AFTER YOU. NOT YET.

WITH EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENING,

AN ESCAPED CONVICT WON'T
EVEN REGISTER ON THEIR RADAR.

I'M NOT GONNA KILL HIM, WESLEY.

ANGELUS.

DON'T CARE WHAT YOU
THOUGHT YOU SPRUNG ME FOR.

ANGEL'S THE ONLY ONE IN MY
LIFE WHO'S NEVER GIVEN UP ON ME.

THERE'S NO WAY I'M
GIVIN' UP ON... I KNOW.

THAT'S WHY IT HAD TO BE YOU.

I'M JUST WONDERING
IF YOU'RE UP TO IT.

IF I'M... YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT IT'S LIKE OUT THERE.

IT'S A VAMPIRE-DEMON
FREE-FOR-ALL ALL THE TIME.

MAYBE YOU'RE A LITTLE RUSTY.

MAYBE I AM.

MAYBE WE SHOULD FIND OUT.

WELL, WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN...

AH. SHE'S THE ONE YOU WANT.

SLAYER.

THOUGHT YOU COULD
USE A LITTLE RELEASE.

FEEL NATURAL?

EH, IT'S LIKE RIDIN' A BIKER.

RELAX, BOYS. THE
SPELL'S WORKIN'.

AND I'VE STILL GOT THE
SLIGHT MIGRAINE TO PROVE IT.

YEAH, MAYBE SO, BUT IF ANGELUS
SHOWS UP, I WANT TO BE READY.

WE ARE. NOW.

SWEET CRIB.

EVERYONE, THIS IS FAITH
THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

HELLO, FAITH. I'M... FRED.

YEAH, WES KIND OF GAVE
ME THE SKINNY ON YOU.

OH. - FAITH?

WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?

- NICE TO SEE YOU TOO, COR.
- SHE'S HERE TO HELP.

OH, GEE! THAT'S GREAT.

OH, WAIT A SEC. WASN'T
SHE CONVICTED OF MURDER...

AND SENT TO A STATE CORRECTIONAL
FACILITY FOR LIKE A GAZILLION YEARS?

MURDER TWO, 25 TO
LIFE, FOR THE RECORD.

SO NOW YOU BROUGHT PSYCHO-SLAYER
OUT OF RETIREMENT TO KILL ANGELUS?

CORDELIA, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO FEEL THAT
WAY ABOUT ME. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST ME.

BUT I DON'T HAVE LOADS OF TIME, SO WHY
DON'T WE SAVE IT TILL AFTER THIS IS OVER?

COOL?

OKAY, LET'S GET DOWN TO IT. WE'RE
GONNA KEEP THIS HUNTING PARTY TIGHT.

- GUNN, RIGHT?
- YEAH.

- LOVE THE NAME. HEAR YOU'RE A GOOD FIGHTER.
- I HOLD MY OWN.

THAT'S A SHAME. YOU'RE
WITH ME, WES AND THE KID.

- THE KID HAS A NAME.
- CONNOR.

ARM YOURSELF HOW YOU LIKE, BUT I
WANT YOU TO CARRY THE TRANQ GUN.

IF I CAN'T TAKE HIM DOWN, I WANT YOU
TO BE READY TO TAKE THE SHOT. YEAH?

IN CASE ANYONE
HAS ANY OTHER IDEAS,

THIS IS A SALVAGE MISSION,
NOT SEARCH AND DESTROY.

OKAY?

NO, NOT OKAY.

YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST BREEZE IN
HERE, TELLING EVERYONE WHAT TO DO?

YOU'RE NOT A PART OF THIS.

IF YOU THINK I'M NOT GONNA KILL
ANGELUS IF HE COMES AT ME, THEN...

LISTEN UP, JUNIOR. WHEN I NEED
A BLOODHOUND, I'LL CALL YOU.

IF ANGELUS NEEDS PUTTING DOWN,
I'LL BE THE ONE TO DO IT, NOT YOU.

SO IS THERE ANYTHING
ELSE YOU'RE NOT OKAY WITH?

GOOD. SHOW ME THE WEAPONS.

HELP ME!

IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.
I'VE GOT YOU. SHH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO THANK YOU. I DO.

SCREAM FOR ME.

- THE SLAYER? YOU SURE?
- JUST GOT WORD.

SHE'S IN TOWN.

HI, DAWN.

YEAH, IT'S ME.

IS YOUR SISTER HOME?

SHE IS?

IT'S THE OTHER ONE.

SO, VAMPIRE SLAYERS.

I WAS TOLD ABOUT THEM.

HOW COME YOU'RE ALWAYS GIRLS?

I DON'T KNOW.
BETTER AT IT, I GUESS.

HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT
I CAN DO. LET'S NOT.

HE WAS HERE.

JUST.

EYES AND EARS PEELED.

WATCH THE PERIPH.

HEY, NOBODY MAKE
A MOVE UNTIL I...

YOU DEFICIENT?
WHAT'D I JUST SAY?

HE WAS ATTACKING. YOU
THOUGHT IT WAS ANGELUS.

YOU CAN'T LISTEN, YOU'RE NO
GOOD TO ME. GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

SOMEONE TAKE HIM
BACK TO THE HOTEL. WHAT?

YEAH, EASIER SAID. THE KID'S GOT A
HISTORY OF NOT DOIN' WHAT HE'S TOLD.

- HE'LL DO WHAT I TELL HIM.
- YEAH, SURE, I WILL.

I GET IT. YOU'RE A SUPER-BEING.

ARE YOU A MURDERER? 'CAUSE I AM.

AND IF IT COMES DOWN
TO YOU OR ANGELUS,

YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN ME A THING TO
MAKE ME WANT TO TAKE YOUR SIDE.

I LIKE HER.

COME ON.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING?

NOT ESPECIALLY.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO FIND
ANGELUS WITHOUT CONNOR?

THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY. THE
KID'S NOT THE ONLY TRACKER.

SOMETHING'LL TURN UP.

TRAIL OF BODIES.
A TELLTALE CLUE.

MAYBE A CARPET FIBER.

SO MUCH FOR THE
ELEMENT OF SURPRISE.

WE'LL HAVE TO COME AT HIM
FROM TWO SIDES. YOU TAKE LOW.

I'LL HIT HIM HIGH.

PRETTY BALLSY, MISTER. CREEPING
AROUND MY BUDDY ANGELUS?

COME ON, PRETTY BOY.

OUR BUDDY.

HEY, FAITH.

NICE TO SEE YA AGAIN. MMM!

YOU'RE LOOKIN' CHOICE AS EVER.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT.

WE'VE NEVER REALLY MET, HAVE WE?

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

COME OUT AND GIVE ME A KISS.

NO, NO, NO.

YOU COME TO ME.

THAT'S IT.

GETTING WARMER.

WARMER.

WARMER.

YOU'RE SMOKIN' HOT.

BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU
PROBABLY KNEW THAT.

HONEY, I BROUGHT A
GUEST HOME FOR DINNER.

LET'S EAT.

WHAT IS THIS, ANGELUS?

THIS IS A SLAYER.

SAY HI TO THE NICE BEAST, FAITH.

YOU DARE TO BRING A SLAYER HERE?

HEY, I'M DOIN' YOU A
FAVOR, STONEHENGE.

SHE'S HERE TO SERIOUSLY MESS
UP YOU AND YOUR BOSS'S PLANS.

SO, THE QUESTION IS,
WHAT DO YOU DO, HOTSHOT?

HMM? WHAT DO YOU DO?

SMILE, FAITH. THOUGHT
YOU'D ENJOY A THREESOME.

SURE.

- OH!
- LET'S GET IT ON.

WHOO-EE! WATCH
YOURSELF, BIG GUY.

GIRL'S ON FIRE.

OOH! THAT'S GONNA
STING IN THE MORNING.

NICE!

COME ON, FAITHY.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING.

BETTER GET UP.

OHH!

YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY
SHOULD BREAK THIS UP.

THIS IS ALL YOU ARE?

I HAD HEARD THE SLAYER
POSSESSED GREAT STRENGTH.

BUT THERE'S NO REAL POWER HERE.

MY MASTER'S POWER
IS BEYOND ALL LIMITS.

BEYOND YOUR PETTY IMAGINING.

YOU ARE WEAK.

YOU'RE NOTHING.

YOU COULD NOT EVEN DEFEAT ME.

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS GUY, HMM?

PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY THING THAT
COULD DO DAMAGE TO THAT THICK,

STONY HIDE IS HIMSELF.

OR MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW...

MAYBE A PIECE OF HIMSELF.

I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT!

FAITH.

OH, CRAP.

YOU MEAN KILLIN' THE BEAST
REALLY DOES BRING BACK THE SUN?

I THOUGHT THAT WAS
ANGEL'S RETARDED FANTASY.

OH, WELL.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? TAKE
THE BAD WITH THE GOOD, I ALWAYS SAY.

ANYHOW, I JUST WANTED BEASTIE
BOY HERE TO SOFTEN YOU UP.

I LIKE MY MEAT NICE AND TENDER.

OOH, A SWING AND
A MISS, SLUGGER.

SORRY, BUT...

GOD!

OKAY, WELL, I GOTTA
GIVE YOU PROPS.

NICE MOVE. REALLY.

I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TAKE
A RAIN CHECK ON THAT WHOLE...

"EVISCERATING YOU" THING.

JUST YOU AND ME NOW, FAITHY.

CATCH YA LATER.

WHOO! CHECK IT OUT.

WE GOT SUN. WELL,
DING-DONG, THE BEAST IS DEAD.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
SO BEAUTIFUL IN ALL MY LIFE.

WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?

YEAH, YEAH. LET'S HEAR THE WAR STORIES.
HOW'D YOU BRING THAT MONSTER DOWN?

WELL, IT WASN'T US. NOT CONNOR AND ME
ANYWAY. WE... SHE MUST'VE FOUGHT IT. FAITH.

THE BEAST MUST'VE ATTACKED
HER, AND SHE MUST... IT'S GOTTA BE.

HEY, WHERE'S CORDY?
DOES SHE KNOW?

SHE'S UP IN HER ROOM.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT ANGELUS?

WELL, IF THAT GIRL CAN
TAKE OUT THE BEAST,

MY MONEY SAYS SHE'LL HAVE ANGELUS
HOG-TIED AND BACK HERE BY DINNER TIME.

HEY. ISN'T IT INCREDIBLE?

IT'S... WONDERFUL.

SHE DID IT. FAITH. SHE'S...

AMAZING.

- CONNOR...
- I MEAN, I HAD NO IDEA
WHAT A SLAYER COULD DO.

A WEAKNESS FOR SLAYERS.
YOU'RE DEFINITELY HIS SON.

CONNOR.

WE NEED... THERE'S
SOMETHING YOU NEED TO, UH...

I DON'T KNOW HOW, UH...

WELL, I KNOW HOW, BUT, UH...

WHAT?

WHAT IS IT?

WE'RE HAVING A BABY.

TOUCH IT.

BUT THIS...

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
I... HOW COULD...

ALL I KNOW...

IS THERE'S A LIFE
GROWING INSIDE OF ME,

AND IT'S OURS.

WE'RE CONNECTED NOW.

YOU AND ME...

FOREVER.

GRR! ARRGH!
