Angel (1999–2004): Season 4, Episode 15 - Orpheus - full transcript

WHAT DID YOU DO?

GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT, WES.

COME ON. I'LL GIVE YOU ONE MORE.

STRIKE THREE!

YOU... YOU... YOU SPIKED...

YOU ALL RIGHT?

KICKED HIS ASS.

CONNOR!

OH, MY GOD! ANGELUS!

PICK UP YOUR TRANQ GUN. I DON'T
KNOW HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE. CONNOR!

- WHAT HAPPENED?
- WES CALLED. I WENT.



WHERE IS HE? WHERE'S FAITH?

WELL, WHAT IS ALL
THE... AAH, ANGELUS.

- HE'S IN THE HOTEL!
- GIVE ME THE STEEL SHACKLES.

- OH, BUT MAYBE WE'RE
ALREADY AWARE OF THAT.
- I HAD ROPE IN THE TRUCK.

- WHAT'S GOING ON?
- GET DOWN HERE NOW. LEG IRONS TOO.

SHE FOUND HIM. WESLEY AND FAITH,

WHERE ARE THEY?

- GET HIM DOWNSTAIRS.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO FAITH?

SHE CAPTURED ANGELUS.

WHAT DID HE DO TO
HER? GUNN? WE GOT IT.

SHE LOOKS NOT WELL.
IS SHE GONNA BE...

WAKE UP, KID. I NEED YOU
HERE. HELP ME WITH HER.

HE FED FROM HER.

THERE'S BLOOD ON HIS BREATH.



I'LL KILL YOU.

I'LL KILL... YOU.

SCRATCH YOU OUT.

SHE'S NOT MAKING ANY SENSE.

AND SPEAKING OF SENSE, HAVE YOU BEEN
ON PERMANENT SABBATICAL FROM YOURS?

TELL ME YOU DID NOT SHOOT
THAT GIRL FULL OF JUNK...

AND THEN FEED HER TO ANGELUS.

IT WAS HER CHOICE.
FAITH KNEW THE RISKS.

OH, SHE COULDN'T. SHH!

WESLEY, I KNOW WHAT
THAT DRUG DOES TO PEOPLE.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SUPERSIZE THE DOSAGE
TO MAKE SURE THEY REALLY GET THE JOB DONE.

AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW IT TOO.

A COMA? YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE
WHEN WESLEY BROUGHT HER IN.

LIKE SHE HASN'T PULLED
THAT ONE BEFORE.

I DON'T THINK SHE WAS FAKING.

SO THE SLAYER SNAGGED ANGELUS.

HE'S IN THE HOTEL.

IS HE LOCKED UP TIGHT IN THE
CAGE? DON'T WORRY, CORDY.

I'LL ALWAYS PROTECT
YOU AND OUR FAMILY.

THAT'S SWEET. IS HE GUARDED?

FAITH REALLY DID
A NUMBER ON HIM.

WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH YOU AND FAITH? AS
IF I DIDN'T SEE THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT HER.

SHE CRACKED HER
WHIP, AND YOU LIKED IT.

YOU WERE PRACTICALLY
IN HER LEATHER-CLAD LAP.

NO, I WASN'T. AND HOW'D
YOU DO THAT, ANYWAY?

WHAT ABOUT THE,
UH, ANTI-DEMON SPELL?

I TOLD YOU, CONNOR.
WE'RE DIFFERENT.

ME AND YOUR BABY.

BUT I GUESS YOU CAN'T EVEN BE LOYAL
TO OUR BED, LET ALONE OUR LITTLE FAMILY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BE A
BETTER FATHER THAN ANGEL WAS TO YOU.

I WILL BE! I WOULD
DO ANYTHING FOR US.

FOR YOU.

WOW!

ARE MY HORMONES OUT
OF WHACK, OR WHAT?

HELLO! CRAZY, PREGNANT
LADY, AISLE NINE.

WHOO!

WHY DON'T YOU GO
SEE HOW FAITH IS DOING?

GO ON.

I'M CONCERNED. I WANNA KNOW.

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HER?

ACTUALLY, I'D LIKE TO START WITH
WHAT EXACTLY WAS IT, WESLEY?

ORPHEUS.

- ORPHEUS?
- SOME KIND OF OPIATE?

A MYSTICAL VARIETY. HUMANS INJECT
IT. VAMPIRES FEED OFF THE HUMANS.

FOLKS TRIED TO
DEAL IT AT CARITAS.

ONLY FOLKS I EVER
BANNED FROM MY CLUB.

THE 'VENTION...

SO, IF ORDINARY HUMANS DO THIS
JUNK, SLAYERS ARE ALL SUPER, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHAT MAKES
IT SO DANGEROUS.

ORPHEUS ISN'T ENTIRELY
PHYSICAL. IT'S AN ENCHANTED DRUG.

MAGIC. THIS IS WHAT IT GETS YOU.

WELL, THAT, PLUS THE BITING, MAKES
FOR SOME SERIOUS PSYCHIC PSYCHEDELIA.

AND THE MORE YOU TAKE,
THE DEEPER YOU SINK.

IT LEADS YOU DOWN TO HELL.

AND LEAVES YOU THERE.

YO, HEY, WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?

YOU TELL ME. IT'S
YOUR FLASHBACK.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE
DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS, BABY?

PERFORMING THE SAME TASK OVER AND
OVER, AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.

LEARNED THAT IN MURDER REHAB. ALL RIGHT,
MISS BLOW-IT-ALL. THIS IS MY FLASHBACK.

WHY ARE YOU IN IT? DON'T KNOW.

MUST BE THE MAGIC SIDE EFFECTS
OF MY INCREDIBLY SIMPLE RUSE.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT IS THIS, HUH?
PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON CITY?

FAIRYLAND? YOU'D THINK.

ME? I'M GUESSING IT'S MORE
LIKE "ANGELUS, THIS IS YOUR LIFE."

BECAUSE "LACK OF HYGIENE WORLD,"

SURE AIN'T MINE.

SERIOUSLY, MAN, DID YOU MISS
THE INVENTION OF THE BATH?

THE WHOLE WAY OVER HERE, HE
CROUCHED IN THE FILTH WITH THE ANIMALS,

JUST TO AVOID HUMAN TEMPTATION.

THIS ISN'T MY LIFE.
IT'S HIS. ANGEL'S?

IT ANNOYED THE CRAP OUT
OF ME THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

THIS SUCKS.

WHY DO YOU GET TO
BE MARLEY'S GHOST?

'CAUSE I'M DYING, DUMBASS.

NOT SOON ENOUGH.

WAY I FIGURE, I
GOT ONE LAST JOB.

BABYSIT THE PSYCHO TILL
THEY SHOVE A SOUL UP YOUR...

- NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
- THEN I'M... WHATEVER.

DUST IN THE WIND.
CANDLE IN THE WIND.

THERE'LL BE A
GENERAL WIND THEME.

I THOUGHT THOSE SUICIDAL TENDENCIES
GOT SQUASHED IN THE BIG ENLIGHTENMENT.

I ROLLED THE DICE.
PAID EVEN ODDS.

EVEN ODDS. PRESSIN'
TO BEAT SIX. BOXCARS UP.

BIG SIX. BIG SIX.

WHISTLE WHILE YOU'RE WALKIN'. YOU'RE
TROLLIN' A GRAVEYARD. THROW THE BONES.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT! TRIPPY.

EARLY '20s BY THE CARS.

WHAT IS THIS, CHICAGO?

♪♪

OH, NO. I REMEMBER THIS.
I REMEMBER THIS PLACE.

- I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE.
- WHY? YOU FREAKIN' OUT?

- IT'S COMING... AGAIN.
- WHAT'S COMING?

I CAN'T DO IT AGAIN. I WON'T.

ANGEL, GET OUT OF THE ROAD.

- OH, NO!
- OH!

DUDE, YOU JUST RESCUED A PUPPY.

OH, MY STARS. YOU
SAVED HIM, MISTER.

OH!

I'M IN HELL. THIS IS
HELL, AND I'M IN IT.

OH, GEE, BIG FELLA,
HOW CAN I THANK YOU?

WE HAVEN'T FED ON
A HUMAN IN DECADES.

SHE'S BEGGING FOR IT, YOU MORON!

♪♪ GET LOST.

BEG PARDON? TAKE
A HIKE, BETTY. SCRAM!

WELL, POUND SNOW, YOU MOOK!

WE'RE RELIVING
ANGEL'S GOOD DEEDS.

YOU ARE IN HELL. WICKED!

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING
WE CAN DO FOR FAITH NOW.

FINISH WHAT SHE STARTED.

YOU MEAN, RE-ENSOUL ANGEL.

IMPOSSIBLE. WE'VE
BEEN OVER THIS.

NO JAR, NO SOUL.
NO SOUL, NO ANGEL.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, CONNOR.
I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH...

IT IS SIMPLE. ANGELUS
IS ALL THAT'S LEFT.

FIRST HE SLAUGHTERED
LILAH. NOW HE'S KILLED FAITH.

- SHE'S NOT DEAD YET.
- YOU'RE LYING TO YOURSELVES.

YOU ALL THINK THAT I'M TAKING THIS
PERSONALLY SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

BUT INSIDE, YOU KNOW YOU I'M
RIGHT. WE NEED TO PUT ANGELUS DOWN.

I DON'T THINK SO. I
THINK YOU NEED A WITCH.

DID I COME AT A
BAD TIME? WILLOW.

SHE'S A WITCH?

YES. HI.

YOU MUST BE ANGEL'S HANDSOME,
YET ANDROGYNOUS SON. IT'S CONNOR.

AND THE SNEER'S
GENETIC. WHO KNEW?

HI, WILLOW. HEY, FRED.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANKS.

OH, AND IT'S THE MARLBORO MAN.

OR AT LEAST HIS EXTRA-STUBBLY,
MENTALLY UNSTABLE,

INSOMNIAC FIRST COUSIN.

FOR THE LOVE OF HECATE,
SOMEBODY STOP ME.

OH, IT'S OKAY. I'M A
YAMMERER FROM WAY BACK.

ARE THERE FORCES GATHERING? DID
THE CALL OF MAGIC DRAW YOU HERE?

OH, NO. MORE LIKE
THE CALL OF FRED.

OF COURSE.

BRING IN THE ONLY LIVING
PERSON TO EVER RE-ENSOUL ANGEL.

OH, SHE HAS A FRESH BRAIN.

I THOUGHT SHE MIGHT SEE
SOME THINGS WE MISSED.

OH, HEARING THE THOROUGHNESS
OF YOUR RESEARCH METHODOLOGY,

I DON'T THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE.

OH. GO ON.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY START
THE DEBRIEFING. WHERE'S CORDY?

UNFORTUNATELY, THE GUY YOU'RE TRYING TO
MAGICALLY RE-ENSOUL SHOT HER WITH A CROSSBOW.

SHE'S NOT UP FOR VISITORS.

I THINK SHE'LL WANT TO SEE WILLOW.
AFTER ALL, SHE'S TRAVELED A LONG WAY.

AND THEY HAVE A
HISTORY TOGETHER.

- HI THERE.
- LONG TIME NO SEE.

IT'S OKAY, CONNOR. I'M FINE.

HOW'VE YOU BEEN?

HIGHER POWER. YOU?

ULTIMATE EVIL, BUT I GOT BETTER.

YOU HEARD ABOUT
FAITH? COMA AGAIN.

WHAT ABOUT ANGELUS? DID
YOU GO DOWN AND SEE HIM YET?

I'M WAY AVOIDY.
TOO MANY MEMORIES.

I'M JUST GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE
SAME ROOM WITH HIM WHEN I RE-ENSOUL HIM.

OH. YOU REALLY THINK
YOU CAN PULL IT OFF?

PUTTING HIS SOUL BACK?

IT'S THE FIRST SPELL I EVER
LEARNED. NOT GONNA FORGET THAT.

- WHAT ABOUT THE MUO-PING?
- THE JAR HOLDING ANGEL'S SOUL?

THEREIN LIES OUR BONEAGE.

STOLEN RIGHT FROM OUR SAFE.

AND IF WE CAN'T GET THE SOUL OUT OF
THE JAR, WE CAN'T PUT IT BACK IN ANGEL.

YEAH, QUESTION IS HOW DO WE GET THE
SOUL OUT IF WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE JAR IS?

AND APPARENTLY THE
THING'S IMPERVIOUS TO MAGIC.

YEAH, I KNOW. I ALREADY TRIED
A STANDARD LOCATOR SPELL,

BUT ZERO JOY.

RIGHT. PLUS, WESLEY'S
SHAMAN SAYS...

THERE'S NO WAY TO EXTRACT
A SOUL FROM A DISTANCE.

SOUL TRAPPED IN A GLASS JAR,
IMPERVIOUS TO MAGIC. IT IS COMPLICATED.

TOUGH NUT TO CRACK.

- ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?
- I DOUBT IT.

WE JUST BREAK THE JAR.

CAN YOU HAND ME THAT DRINK?

THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO MAGIC THE SOUL
OUT... WE JUST BREAK THE GLASS AROUND IT.

GREAT IDEA. I'M REALLY THIRSTY.

AND THEN ANGEL'S SOUL IS
STILL RELEASED INTO THE ETHER,

AND... AND THERE'S SOMETHING
CALLED DELOTHRIAN'S ARROW.

WE DON'T EVEN NEED TO
KNOW WHERE THE TARGET IS.

CORDY, THIS IS FANTASTIC.
WE'RE GONNA GET HIM BACK.

DON'T YOU WORRY, PRINCESS.

IT'LL ALL BE OVER SOON.
I-I'VE SEEN LOTS OF GIRLS...

YOU'RE GOING THROUGH NOW.

WE'LL GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL.
HERE. YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY.

- ALL RIGHT. EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE...

- YEAH, I KNOW.
- DOC, I THINK WE'RE LOSING HIM.

GOD, I LOVE THIS EPISODE.

WHAT IS THAT BUZZING?

HEAR ME, ANGELUS.

HEED MY WARNING.

AWAKEN AT ONCE.

RETURN FROM THE DARKNESS.

OR JUST LAY THERE AND LET THAT REDHEADED
MEDDLER PUT YOUR SOUL BACK. WHICHEVER.

LOOK, IT'S WORKING.

I THOUGHT DELOTHRIAN'S ARROW
IS USED TO PROTECT GOOD MAGICS.

IT IS. SO HOW CAN YOU
USE IT TO BREAK THE JAR?

THE MUO-PING IS A
SACRED OBJECT. IT'S HOLY.

IT'S GLASS, THEREFORE
CRUNCHABLE.

THE SACRED'S WHAT'S INSIDE.

"ALL LIFE A CONTAINER..."
"FOR THE HEART OF ALL LIFE."

YOU'VE STUDIED THE DAHARIM.

IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING SPECIFIC.

THERE'S LOTS OF JARS IN THE
WORLD. CAN'T SHATTER 'EM ALL.

OH, I MEAN, YOU COULD, BUT
GOOD THINGS COME IN JARS...

PEANUT BUTTER, JELLY,

THOSE TWO-HEADED FETAL PIGS
AT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.

OH, COME ON. EVERYBODY
LOVES FETAL PIGS.

SORRY.

I THINK MY SENSE OF HUMOR IS
TRAPPED IN A JAR SOMEWHERE.

DOES SEEM LIKE YOU'VE GIVEN IN
TO THE GRUMPY SIDE OF THE FORCE.

A LOT'S HAPPENED.

NOT JUST ANGELUS.

I'VE BEEN... I'VE CHANGED.

AND I'VE SEEN A
DARKNESS IN MYSELF.

I'M NOT SURE YOU'D EVEN
BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND.

I FLAYED A GUY ALIVE AND
TRIED TO DESTROY THE WORLD.

OH.

SO...

DARKNESS. BEEN THERE. YEAH.

WELL, I NEVER FLAYED.

I HAD A WOMAN
CHAINED IN A CLOSET.

OH, WELL, HEY... NO,
IT DOESN'T COMPARE.

NO, DARK. THAT'S DARK.
YOU'VE BEEN TO A PLACE.

YOU SEEM EXACTLY
THE SAME AS WHEN I LEFT.

NO OTHER MAJOR
CHANGES I'M NOT UP ON?

JUST LITTLE THINGS.

SO, UH, FRED...
WHAT'S HER STORY?

GOD, I'M SORRY. I'M SO SORRY.

SO, WHO'S YOUR BIG HERO NOW?

IT WASN'T EVEN HIS FAULT. GOD, DOES
THE GUY GOTTA PAY FOR EVERYTHING?

CHOICES, LITTLE GIRL.

ONES YOU MAKE WITH
YOUR HEART OF HEARTS.

UH-OH.

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?

HE WON'T.

I'M DEEP IN, FAITH.

SOUL OR NO SOUL?

ANGEL!

OH.

HE WAS GONNA SAVE HIM.

OR DID HE CHOOSE TO BE A LITTLE
SLOW ON THE DRAW? WHOOPS!

DINNER BY ARMED ROBBERY.

LOOK AT HIM, FAITH.
YOU'RE A MURDERER.

YOU KNOW JUST HOW GOOD
THAT BLURRY LINE TASTES.

YOU DIDN'T THINK MY HELL
WAS PRIVATE, DID YOU?

SHE'S IN THE BARRENS NOW.

THEY CRY FOR A
WHILE. QUIET MOSTLY.

LIKE THEY'RE LETTING GO OF
EVERYTHING THAT MEANT SOMETHING.

HOW LONG... TILL...

NOT LONG.

YOU CAN HOLD HER HAND.

WESLEY, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

SHE WAS BRAVE AND
SHE DIED IN BATTLE.

IT'S TIME.

YOU'RE GOOD. GOOD BELLS.

OKAY, NOW ALL I GOTTA DO IS
CONTACT THE SPIRIT WORLD...

HARNESS THE DELOTHRIAN EBB,

FOCUS IT THROUGH MY
LITTLE MARBLE OF DOOM HERE,

AND WE'LL RESTORE THE
MUO-PING'S ENTROPIC EQUILIBRIUM.

- THE JAR GOES SMASH?
- SMASH-O-CRASH.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW.

I'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS IN CASE THE
PRINCE OF DARKNESS WAKES UP.

OKAY.

YOU READY? SHOULD BE A SNAP.

STAY YOUR HAND, WITCH!

YOU WILL NOT INTERFERE
WITH WHAT MUST COME TO PASS.

YOU THINK TO BANISH ME?

THERE'S SOMEBODY IN MY HEAD.

AS LONG AS THE SOUL IS
UNDER MY PROTECTION,

IT WILL NEVER BE FREED.

I JUST BIT MY TONGUE.

HE'S ENORMOUSLY POWERFUL.
IT'S THE DEAD BEAST'S MASTER.

HE CONTACTED
ANGELUS THE SAME WAY.

HE WANTS TO STOP US
FROM GETTING THE SOUL.

OPEN THE WINDOW, FILL THE STONE,

INSIDE, OUTSIDE, TWO MADE ONE.

YOU WANNA GO, GLINDA? WE'LL GO.

YOU SURE THAT SHE CAN HANDLE IT?

I THINK SHE CAN HOLD HER OWN.

IT'S OKAY, FAITH. IT'S OKAY.

THEY... YOU JUST WAIT.

THEY'LL GET ANGEL BACK,
AND IT'LL ALL BE WORTH IT.

IT'LL ALL...

IT'LL ALL BE WORTH IT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU TRY
TO TELL YOURSELF, FAITHY?

IS THAT THE NASTY LITTLE LIE THAT
KEPT THOSE THIGHS NICE AND WARM...

IN YOUR PRISON BUNK?

YOU KISS YOUR MAMA
WITH THAT MOUTH?

NO, BUT I ATE HER WITH IT.

AND NOW FOR A POEM.

"FAITH GOES GENTLY
INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT."

YOU'RE FADING FAST,
BABY. I CAN FEEL IT.

ALL THE SAME, I HEAR THIS
HOLLER IN THE DISTANCE.

TELLS ME YOU'RE ABOUT TO
GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU.

OR NOT. I GOT FRIENDS
IN HIGH PLACES.

HIM, NOT BEING ONE OF THEM.

WHEN IS THIS?

WHEN ISN'T IT? TWENTY YEARS
AFTER THAT STUPID DOUGHNUT SHOP,

AND HIS FINGERS NEVER
SMELLED OF ANYTHING BUT RAT!

I'M SO SORRY. I GIVE UP.
I'M GONNA LIVE IN A SEWER!

- HE'S PAYING FOR WHAT HE DID.
- HE'S HIDING FROM WHAT HE IS.

WHICH MAY BE A BIG PSYCH 101
REVELATION FOR YOU, CUPCAKE,

BUT I ALREADY KNOW THIS CRAP.

SO WHY DO I HAVE TO
GO THROUGH IT AGAIN?

MAYBE 'CAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU,

JACKASS.

DO YOU FEEL THAT?

THERE'S SOMETHING
EVIL... RISING IN THE HOTEL.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

IGNORE IT. FIND YOUR
TARGET, LEAVE MY SIDE.

OKAY, THEN. HUGE FLOATY
HEAD NOT ENOUGH TO SCARE YOU?

THEN WHY DON'T WE TRY...

AND NOW SHE IS ON MY LAST NERVE.

IF ONLY THIS WERE
A FEW WEEKS LATER.

BREAK THE GLASS!

- WHERE'S CONNOR?
- LET LOOSE THE SOUL!

CORDY, ARE YOU OKAY?

OH, SH...

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!

YOU'RE THE ONE BEHIND THIS
WHOLE TRUE HOLLYWOOD SOB STORY?

ANGEL, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- HATE THE HAIR.
- FAITH. WHY ARE YOU
STILL HERE?

JUST WAITING TO
SEE THIS PERVERT...

GET STUFFED BACK INTO THE
DEEP CRAZY GROUND HE CAME FROM.

AND THEN WHAT? AFTER
THAT, WHAT HAPPENS?

PROBABLY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I HAD A FEELING THE
RULES HAD CHANGED.

SHE'S NOT WHO YOU'RE AFTER.

NO KIDDING, RAT BOY.

THE SLAYER WILL JUST BE
GRAVY, ONCE I FINISH YOU OFF.

I'VE BEEN WAITING A
LONG TIME FOR THIS.

FAITH, GET UP!
ARE YOU LISTENING?

ANGEL, I'M DYING.

YEAH, IT'S A LOT EASIER
THAN REDEMPTION, HUH?

ALWAYS SO CONCERNED
WITH THE HUMAN CONDITION.

IT'S NO BIG MYSTERY, MAN. THEY SUFFER,
THEY DIE. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR.

I'M NOT PERFECT, FAITH.

EVEN WITH A SOUL,
I'VE DONE THINGS...

I'VE WISHED A THOUSAND
TIMES I COULD TAKE BACK.

YEAH, LIKE THOSE...
MANILOW CONCERTS.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

CORDY, I'M COMING IN.

OH, CONNOR, I'M SO SORRY.

I THOUGHT IT CAME BACK,
THAT HORRIBLE FLOATY HEAD.

DID IT HURT YOU? IS THE BABY...

WE NEARLY GOT KILLED.

WILLOW'S SPELL MUST HAVE
OPENED A GATEWAY TO SOMETHING.

EVIL. IF SHE KEEPS AT IT, THERE'S
NO TELLING WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

SHE'S ALREADY LET HELL
ITSELF INTO THIS HOTEL.

I KNOW. I'VE SEEN IT.

IT'S NOT SAFE FOR YOU HERE.
I'M GONNA MAKE HER STOP.

CONNOR, YOU CAN'T!
SHE'S TOO POWERFUL.

BUT YOU CAN STOP IT.

THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS.

YOU HAVE TO KILL ANGELUS.

SO, NOW ANGEL'S SOUL IS JUST
FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE?

YEAH, UNTIL I CAN CHANNEL
IT INTO THE ORB OF THESULAH.

CONNOR SHOULDN'T
HAVE RUN OFF LIKE THAT.

I'M SURE HE WAS JUST
WORRIED ABOUT CORDELIA.

DO YOU EVER THINK THEIR
RELATIONSHIP IS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT...

ICKY?

YOU HAVE TO KILL YOUR FATHER.

YOU HAVE TO. NOW.

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE GOES WRONG.

READY WHEN YOU ARE.

YOU KNOW I HAVE FOUGHT
HARDER THAN ANYONE...

TO SAVE ANGEL'S LIFE.

BUT THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU
HAVE TO WEIGH RISK VERSUS REWARD.

AND AS MUCH AS I
LOVE ANGEL AS A FRIEND,

KILLING ANGELUS NOW...

IS THE ONLY WAY TO
GUARANTEE OUR FAMILY'S SAFETY.

I KNOW IT IN MY HEART NOW.

YOU'RE NOT JUST PROTECTING ME.

YOU'RE PROTECTING THE WORLD.

SOMETIMES ONE DEATH
CAN SPARE INFINITE PAIN.

FAITH, WAKE UP!

ROLLED THE BONES. YOU FOR ME.

I USED TO THINK THAT, THAT THERE'D
BE A POINT WHEN I'D PAID MY DUES.

ANYBODY NOTICE A BATTLE WITH
YOUR ALTER EGO GOING ON HERE?

WHAT WILL I TELL THE OTHERS?

THEY CAN'T STOP YOU
IF THEY DON'T KNOW.

WHAT ABOUT THE SANCTUARY SPELL?

I CAN FIX IT.

WE'RE SPECIAL, CONNOR.

SPECIAL.

FAITH? LISTEN TO ME.

YOU SAW ME DRINK.

IT DOESN'T GET MUCH
LOWER THAN THAT.

AND I THOUGHT I COULD MAKE
UP FOR IT BY DISAPPEARING.

I DID MY TIME.

OUR TIME IS NEVER UP, FAITH.
WE PAY FOR EVERYTHING.

IT HURTS. I KNOW.

I KNOW.

HEY, GUNN. I THINK
YOU SHOULD KNOW.

THEY HAVEN'T
FINISHED THE SPELL YET.

GET UP. YOU HAVE
TO GET UP NOW, FAITH.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT.
I NEED YOU TO FIGHT.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT I'M SAYING?

WHAT WON'T I MISS?

THE MORALIZING.

SOUL'S ALREADY IN THE
ETHER, BOYO. I CAN SMELL IT.

HOW ABOUT I SEND IT OFF TO
THAT BIG PUPPY RESCUE IN THE SKY?

ARF, ARF, PSYCHO.

FAITH. GETTING
BACK INTO THE GAME.

I GUESS I AM.

HEY!

I NEED YOU TO FIGHT.

I'M PRETTY CLEAR
ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED.

BREAK ME OFF A SWITCH, SON.

THERE'S ABOUT TO BE A WHOOPIN'.

SH-SHE'S ALIVE! IT'S A MIRACLE!

CONNOR, IT'S OVER.
IT'S ME. REALLY.

HEY.

HOW YOU FEELING?

LIKE I DID MUSHROOMS
AND GOT EATEN BY A BEAR.

THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP. YEAH.

NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SUNNYDALE.

I THINK I PREFER THE BEAR,
BUT THE WAY WILLOW TALKS IT UP,

- THAT'S WHERE I'M NEEDED.
- YOU'LL NEVER STOP FIGHTING.

HEY, I WAS GONNA, BUT SOMEONE
GOT ALL PEP-TALKY ON ME.

YEAH. I'M SORRY I
DIDN'T GET TO SEE YOU,

OUR LITTLE BRAIN
TOUR NOTWITHSTANDING.

ANOTHER TIME.

I HAVE A LOT TO THANK YOU FOR.

WELL, THAT VICE IS PLENTY VERSA.

I EVEN START, IT'S ONLY
GONNA LEAD TO HUGGING AND...

NO, WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. NO.

ALL RIGHT. I GET
IT. I MESSED UP.

HEY, CHEER UP, PUNK. THAT
JUST MAKES YOU ONE OF US.

YOU HEADED OUT?
YEAH, NO TEARS, BIG GUY.

NAW, I'M GOOD. I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN
YOU KICKING THE CRAP OUT OF JUNIOR HERE.

IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY.

WES.

FAITH.

SEE? BRITS KNOW
HOW TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

ANGEL HERE WANTED TO HUG.

NO, I DIDN'T. YOU
RUN A GOOD SHOW.

YEAH, SIT BACK AND LET THE
GIRL DO ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

I THINK THAT VOLUME'S OUTDATED.

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ME, BUT THERE'S
SOME INTERESTING STUFF ABOUT HELLMOUTHS.

IT MIGHT HELP. THIS IS GREAT.

I HAVE TO SAY, SOMEDAY I'D LOVE TO BEND
YOUR EAR ABOUT THE PERGAMUM CODEX.

I-I THINK SOME OF THE
REALLY OBSCURE PASSAGES...

ARE ACTUALLY LATIN TRANSLATED FROM A
DEMONIC TONGUE, AND THEY'RE KIND OF A HOOT.

ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT
BACCHANALS AND SPELLS AND...

ACTUALLY, I THINK IT'S
PROBABLY FUNNIER IN LATIN.

YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS SOMETIMES.

- I'M SEEING SOMEONE.
- OH.

TIME GOES BY, WILL.

OKAY, GOOD. WAGONS
WEST. SEE YA, GUYS.

WILLOW...

HE'S GONNA TELL YOU
HOW MUCH HE OWES YOU.

OH, DON'T MENTION IT. I GOT A SLAYER
OUT OF THE DEAL, SO WE'RE EVEN STEPHEN.

OH, I'LL TELL BUFFY YOU SAID HI.

GOOD. THANKS.

OH, UM, NEXT TIME YOU
GUYS RESURRECT ANGELUS,

CALL ME FIRST, OKAY?

SO WE'RE BACK.

IT WOULD SEEM.

LOOK. I KNOW THINGS
HAVE BEEN... SORRY, ANGEL.

BUT IF THIS IS THE SPEECH ABOUT
HOW THE WORST IS BEHIND US,

YOU MAY WANT TO
SAVE IT FOR LATER.

GRR! ARRGH!
