Angel (1999–2004): Season 4, Episode 20 - Sacrifice - full transcript

- CONNOR, YOU HAVE
TO LISTEN TO US.
- LISTEN TO YOU?

YOU'RE THE ONES WHO LIE.
YOU'RE THE ONES WHO HATE.

NO. CONNOR... JASMINE'S CONTROLLING
YOU, CONTROLLING YOUR FEELINGS.

YOU'RE WRONG, DAD, ABOUT
ME, ABOUT HER... EVERYTHING.

IT DOESN'T MATTER
ANYMORE WHAT YOU SAY.

WE'RE GONNA TEAR YOU APART.

RUN! GET IN THE CAR!

GET OUTTA HERE.
I'LL HOLD 'EM OFF.

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE
TRUTH HAS TO LIVE THROUGH THIS.

- GO!
- COME ON!

I'M FINALLY PART OF SOMETHING.



I BELONG.

I WON'T LET ANYONE RUIN THAT.

I KNOW, SON.

THIS IS ALL WRONG. THERE
HAS TO BE A WAY WE COULD...

WE COULD CUT THE
POWER, CREATE A DIVERSION.

SHE HAS HUNDREDS OF FOLLOWERS IN THERE,
ALL ACTING WITH A SINGLE, FOCUSED WILL.

WE CAN'T RISK GOING AGAINST
THAT, NOT NOW. SOMEONE...

DRIVE. WE CAN'T JUST
LEAVE HIM. HE'S YOUR...

I KNOW WHAT HE IS. WES, DRIVE.

IN AN IMPROMPTU SPEECH
TODAY, THE MAYOR...

I REALLY LOVE THAT
GUY, DON'T YOU?

THE MAYOR DECLARED LOS ANGELES
THE "FIRST CITADEL OF JASMINE,"

A CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION WHICH WILL
USHER IN A NEW AGE FOR ALL HUMANITY.

IN RELATED NEWS, THE L.A.
ARCHDIOCESE HAS STATED TO THE PRESS...



THAT IT WILL REMOVE ALL
FALSE IDOLS FROM ITS CHURCHES,

REPLACING THEM WITH IMAGES
OF SHE WHO WALKS AMONG US.

WAY TO GO, CATHOLIC CHURCH.

WELL, TALK ABOUT MEDIA BIAS.

NOT THAT I WANNA
TALK ABOUT MEDIA BIAS.

IT SEEMS RATHER MOOT RIGHT NOW.

SPEAKIN' OF MOOT, WHAT ABOUT US?

ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE THE
LAST FEISTY WIFE IN STEPFORD?

WHAT ARE WE GONNA
DO? WHAT CAN WE DO?

- THERE HAS TO BE AN ANSWER.
- THERE HAS TO BE A WAY. WE JUST NEED TIME.

THE HELL WITH THAT.
WE NEED A DAMN BREAK.

BUT THE UNIVERSE DON'T SEEM TO BE
HANDING BREAKS OUT TO THE UNDERDOG LATELY.

NO LEADS, NO DATABASE,
NO WEAPONS, NO SHELTER.

VERY LITTLE GAS.

WE SHOULD'VE TAKEN
CONNOR WITH US. HE LOOKED...

WHAT IF HE DOESN'T WAKE UP?

WHAT IF WE TOOK HIM, AND HE DID?

THANK YOU. NOW
PLEASE COME TO ME.

CONNOR. YOU'RE AWAKE.

YOU'RE...

INDESCRIBABLE.

I KNOW.

THEY TRIED TO TURN
ME AGAINST YOU.

THEY CUT ME, RUBBED
BLOOD INTO THE WOUND.

THE HATEFUL ALWAYS HAVE ONE
OR TWO WRETCHED TRICKS TO PLAY.

YOU MUST REST NOW. WE HAVE
NOTHING TO FEAR FROM THEM.

THEY ARE ALONE. WE ARE MANY.

BUT GUNN AND-AND
WESLEY AND LORNE.

THEY'VE ALL BEEN TURNED.

WE HAVE TO STOP
WHATEVER THEY'RE... WE WILL.

CONNOR, THERE'S
NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

EVERY MOMENT THAT PASSES, I
GROW CLOSER TO MY FOLLOWERS.

I FEEL WHAT THEY FEEL.
I SEE WHAT THEY SEE.

WE'RE FUSING TOGETHER LIKE
THE CELLS OF A SINGLE BODY.

THEY'RE MY EYES,
MY SKIN, MY LIMBS.

AND IF NEED BE, MY FISTS.

OH.

I DON'T KNOW, KIDS. THAT'S
A WHOLE LOT OF POD PEOPLE.

IT'S BETTER THAN THE
LAST THREE PLACES.

WE WON'T MAKE IT OUT OF
THE CITY WITHOUT ANY GAS.

THAT'S OUR BIG PLAN... JUST KEEP
RUNNING? I HEAR GOOD THINGS ABOUT BELIZE.

IF WE COULD GET OUT OF THE
SPHERE OF JASMINE'S INFLUENCE,

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO WARN PEOPLE,
PREPARE SOME FORM OF RESISTANCE.

LOOK AT THEM.
THEY'RE ALL SO HAPPY.

THEY'LL BE HAPPIER WHEN
THEY'RE GOUGING OUT OUR EYES...

AND STOMPING US TILL
THEIR SHOES GET STICKY.

THAT'S WHY WE
HAVE TO DO THIS FAST.

FAST WORKS FOR ME.

GUNN, THEY'RE JUST
UNDER HER SPELL.

- BUT IF IT DOES COME DOWN TO
A CHOICE BETWEEN US OR THEM...
- BELIEVE ME, I'M THERE.

♪♪

SORRY, BRO. IT'S
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S THE BIG
BAD FREE WILL GANG GASSIN' UP.

STAY BACK. WE DON'T
WANNA HURT ANYBODY.

BUT YOU ARE HURTING
THEM, ANGEL, JUST BY BEING.

OKAY. THAT'S NEW.

YOU'RE A DISEASE IN THE BODY
JASMINE, AND YOU'LL BE PURGED.

SOCCER MOM... 12:00!

YOU CAN'T OUTRUN MY LOVE.
IT HAS WINGS MADE OF RADIO.

MY LOVE SINGS OVER THE
WIRES THAT BIND THIS WORLD.

OKAY. GETTIN' A LITTLE CREEPY.

THE CITY IS MINE, VAMPIRE.
ALL ITS TOOLS ARE MINE.

WE'RE WORKIN' ON THAT. OKAY.

PIT STOP'S OVER. LET'S GO!

- - NO SNACKS? I
THOUGHT SNACKS WERE...

NEVER SEEN SO MANY CRUISERS.

TECHNICALLY, WE'RE
THE ONLY CRIMINALS LEFT.

NO WAY WE'RE DRIVIN' OUT OF
THIS. IT'S TIME WE DISAPPEARED.

I'M MOVIN', ANGEL CAKES.
IT MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE IT,

BUT INSIDE, WHERE IT COUNTS, I'M
RUNNIN' FULL SPEED AHEAD, BELIEVE ME.

IT WON'T TAKE 'EM
LONG TO FIGURE OUT...

ONE MINUTE.

I DOUBT ANYONE UNDER HER CONTROL
KNOWS THESE TUNNELS BETTER THAN YOU.

THAT SHOULD BUY US SOME
TIME. TIME TO DO WHAT?

GET ALL STANKY AND
STARVE TO DEATH?

- WHAT ARE WE DOIN'?
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO.

I DON'T HAVE A PLAN. THIS WHOLE JASMINE
"WORLD ORDER" THING KINDA TOOK ME BY SURPRISE.

- I AIN'T EATIN' NO RATS.
- GOOD. NEITHER AM I.

- THEN PLAN'S COMIN' TOGETHER.
- GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE ON BOARD.

OH, GOD. ALL THE
CHASING AND THE CHAOS...

- CORDELIA.
- I CAN'T BELIEVE
I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT HER.

DO IT.

FORGET ABOUT HER.

WE ALL HAVE TO NOW.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

MINUTE'S UP.

CONNOR.

LOOK. I KNOW.

I SAW IT THROUGH YOU.
IT WAS THEM, WASN'T IT?

IT HORRIFIES ME TO SEE
WHAT THEY'RE CAPABLE OF,

HOW FAR THEY'VE LET
THEIR HATE TAKE THEM.

THEY CUT INTO HER
WHILE SHE LAY SLEEPING,

HER PRECIOUS BLOOD STOLEN...

FOR THEIR BLACK,
DECEITFUL, COWARDLY MAGIC.

THEY'RE ALWAYS USING MAGIC.

LEAVE ME.

I WANT TO BE ALONE
WITH MY MOTHER.

YOU LOOK A LITTLE DOWN,
SUGARPLUM. IS IT CORDY?

I CAN'T. I DON'T CARE WHAT
HE SAYS. I KNOW, KITTEN.

IT IS STRANGE, BUT UNDER THAT "BLOOD-FEEDING
CREATURE-OF-THE-NIGHT" FACADE,

HE SEEMS A BIT HEARTLESS LATELY.

- HEARTS GET IN THE WAY.
- HEARING AS GOOD AS EVER
THOUGH, BOSS.

IF WE DON'T GUT OURSELVES... BURN OUT
EVERYTHING INSIDE THAT GAVE HER POWER OVER US...

THEN WE'RE LOST.

I HATE TO SAY IT, DR. PEP, BUT I'VE
BEEN LOST FOR, LIKE, TWO HOURS.

STILL, I MISS HER.

I MISS THE WARMTH AND
THE KNOWING WHAT'S RIGHT...

AND THAT YOU'RE DOING
IT JUST BY LOVING HER.

TOUGH DRUG TO KICK COLD TURKEY.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST
TIME SHE TOOK ME ASIDE...

THAT FIGHT AT THE BOWLING ALLEY.

ME... PALE, FRAIL WINIFRED
BURKLE... SITTING WITH A GODDESS.

SHE WAS ASKING ME
WHAT HER NAME SHOULD BE.

IT SEEMS STRANGE NOW, A
BEING OF HER IMMEASURABLE AGE.

YOU'D THINK SHE'D
ALREADY HAVE A NAME.

MAYBE IT WAS EMBARRASSING,
LIKE HESTER OR PEANUT.

I GOTCHA!

- WES.
- I'M ALL RIGHT.
- NO!

YOU'RE NOT ALL RIGHT
TILL I SAY YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

- HOLLY, YOU GOOD?
- YEAH.

TRIP? YEAH.

THAT UGLY-ASS BEASTIE SO MUCH
AS BREATHES WRONG, YOU STICK 'IM.

"UGLY-A... "? HEY.

I KINDA HAVE A THING ABOUT
PEOPLE POINTING SHARP WOODEN...

GIVE ME THAT.

ENOUGH! ENOUGH.

YOU OKAY? YEAH.

IT'S OKAY. THEY'RE
NOT UNDER HER POWER.

"HER" WHO? WE'LL
ASK THE QUESTIONS.

- ANGEL, ARE YOU SURE?
- THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY
FIGHTIN'...

LIKE A WELL-OILED, MIND-CONTROLLED
ARMY OF LOVE, ARE THEY?

HELL, NO. MORE LIKE A BUNCH
OF LITTLE PUNKS. "PUNKS"?

GUNN, LET HIM GO.

GUNN?

- CHARLES GUNN.
- I SAY YOU COULD USE MY NAME?

I SAY YOU COULD USE MY
RIDE WITHOUT PAYIN' THE PIPER?

WHAT? PAYIN' THE...

TOMMY GOLDEN'S LITTLE
BROTHER? RANDALL?

LITTLE-ASS RANDALL GOLDEN.

MAN, THIS PUNK STOLE MY
CAR WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'
DOWN HERE, MAN?

LIKE I SAID, SON, WE'LL
ASK THE QUESTIONS.

STARTIN' WITH, WHAT
THE HELL WAS THAT?

IT'S BACK.

I'M SORRY.

I JUST COULDN'T BE...

CORDY?

CONNOR, CORDELIA'S
BLOOD IS A DANGER TO US.

IF SHE FALLS INTO HATEFUL
HANDS, THE HATE CAN SPREAD.

BUT WHERE IS SHE? SHE'S
WHERE I WANT HER TO BE.

AND SO ARE YOU.

NOW COME.

CONNOR.

WOW. REALLY LIKE WHAT
YOU'VE DONE WITH THE PLACE.

YES. THIS IS... HOMEY.

SO, IT'S SECURE?

IT'S HELD SO FAR. UH-HUH.

HELD AGAINST WHAT?
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY.

NEVER HAVE GOTTEN A CLEAN SHOT,

BUT IT'S NOT LIKE
ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN.

GOLDEN'S BROTHER USED TO SOLDIER
MY CREW BACK IN THE OLD DAYS.

THEN HE BROKE OFF AND WENT SOLO.

TOMMY WAS RUNNIN' OUR
UNIT WHEN THE SUN WENT OUT.

WE STAYED TOPSIDE AS LONG AS WE
COULD, TRIED TO HOLD SOME GROUND.

THERE WERE TOO MANY OF 'EM.

WE GO OUT EVERY
DAY, CHECK THE TRAPS.

HMM. CATCH ANYTHING TODAY? NAH.

THEY'RE YOUR CREW, AREN'T
THEY? YOU'RE THE LEADER.

I'M MATTHEW. YOU GUYS
REALLY KNOW HOW TO LIVE.

AT LEAST WE'RE ALIVE. IT'S OKAY.

ALL THE OTHER WAYS
IN ARE GRATED-OFF.

WE CHECKED. WELL,
NOW I'M CHECKIN'.

HE'S SO YOUNG.

WE FOUND HIM IN A
PILE-UP ON LA BREA.

VAMPS LAID TIRE
TRAPS ON THE ROAD...

HAVIN' THEMSELVES
A CAR-WRECK PICNIC.

HE WATCHED 'EM
MURDER HIS PARENTS.

THEY WERE COMIN' AFTER
HIM WHEN WE SHOWED UP.

MATTHEW. ANY
WATER IN THIS PLACE?

YEP. WE TAPPED A CLEAN
WATER PIPE RIGHT OVER HERE.

I KNEW ABOUT THIS PLACE. I USED TO CRASH
HERE NIGHTS WHEN THE MISSIONS WERE FULL.

WE HIT A SUPERMARKET HADN'T BURNT DOWN
YET, GOT SOME SUPPLIES AND WENT UNDER.

BEEN DOWN HERE EVER SINCE...
ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND SOME CHANGE.

NO OFFENSE, BUT TWO
WEEKS DOWN HERE,

AND I'D BE READY TO MOVE
BACK IN WITH MY MOTHER.

YEAH, WELL, WE WERE
HOLDIN' OUR OWN.

OCCASIONAL BADDIE LOOKIN'
FOR A PLACE TO SLEEP.

NOTHIN' WE COULDN'T HANDLE TILL THAT
THING OUT THERE MOVED INTO OUR TERRITORY.

IT'S BEEN PICKIN'
US OFF EVER SINCE.

GOT TOMMY ALMOST A WEEK AGO.

HE WAS OUT RESETTING THE TRAPS.

WHOSE BLOOD IS THAT?

SOMEBODY I KNEW.

SOMEBODY WHO TRIED TO
DO BAD STUFF TO MY FRIENDS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU
STAYED DOWN HERE.

WORSE UP THERE, AIN'T
IT? THE WORLD IS ENDING.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHERE WE GO?

BESIDES, WHATEVER THAT
EVIL SON OF A BITCH IS,

IT KILLED OUR PEOPLE,
KILLED MY BROTHER.

WE'RE GONNA KILL 'IM RIGHT BACK.

OH, IT'S WEIRD REALLY, US
RUNNING INTO YOU LIKE THIS.

I MEAN, WE...

WE'RE PROFESSIONAL
MONSTER KILLERS.

OR... WE WERE.

ARE, FRED. WE ARE.

HEY. THAT BELONGED TO TOMMY.

NOW IT BELONGS TO ME.

LET'S GO GET PROFESSIONAL
ON THIS EVIL SON OF A BITCH'S ASS.

I HEARD THAT.

YES. OF COURSE.

DROP BY ANYTIME.

AH, THANK YOU FOR CALLING.

POLICE LOST THEM HOURS AGO. MM.

LET ME GO OUT. I'LL BRING
THEM DOWN. I PROMISE.

SOON. SOON YOU'LL GO OUT WITH
ALL OF MY STRENGTH BEHIND YOU.

BUT FIRST, WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE.

THAT WAS THE
GOVERNOR ON THE PHONE.

VERY AGREEABLE.

HE'S DISSOLVING HIS
ADMINISTRATION TONIGHT.

THE TIME OF THE
POLITICIAN IS OVER.

THIS STATE NOW ANSWERS TO ME.

OH, IT'S HAPPENING.

DON'T YOU FEEL IT?

THIS WORLD IS ABOUT
TO KNEEL BEFORE ME...

AND SHED ALL ITS
AVARICE, ALL ITS WOE.

I WILL FREE THEM
FROM THE LONELINESS,

FROM THE EMPTY
HORROR OF THEIR LIVES.

THEY WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM.

I'M SURE OF THAT.

AND YOU'LL BE THERE, AT MY SIDE.

WE WILL LIVE IN A PALACE
BUILT BY THE LOVE OF BILLIONS.

IT WILL MAKE THE
PYRAMIDS OF GIZA...

LOOK LIKE THE HEADSTONES
IN A PAUPER'S GRAVEYARD.

WE'LL BE A FAMILY, CONNOR,

TOGETHER... AS ONE... FOREVER.

IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL. YES.

THEN WHY AREN'T YOU SMILING?

I DON'T KNOW. I THINK I DO.

TO BELONG, TO TRULY
BE A PART OF SOMETHING,

YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER
TO IT... COMPLETELY.

CORDELIA HAS DONE
THAT, BUT YOU...

I WANT TO, REALLY.

THERE'S A PART OF YOU
THAT YOU'VE KEPT FROM ME...

YOUR PAIN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

PAIN HAS BEEN THE ONLY
CONSTANT IN YOUR LIFE,

THE ONE THING THAT HAS
NEVER ABANDONED YOU.

YOU THINK THAT PAIN
IS YOURS TO KEEP...

AND BEAR ALONE.

BUT IT'S NOT.

I WANT IT.

I WANT EVERYTHING
YOU ARE, CONNOR.

FATHER...

LET IT GO.

LET ME HAVE IT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

THEY'RE JUST KIDS.
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.

ANGEL... THEY JUST WANNA STRIKE
BACK... SOMETHING, ANYTHING.

I KNOW HOW THEY FEEL.

I EVER TELL YOU I
SUCK AT SPORTS?

THIS IS WHERE TOMMY GOT TAKEN.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL? IT'S AMMONIA.

GOLDEN!

- MATTHEW, IT'S OKAY.
- MATT!

MATTHEW!

GOLDEN? SWEETIE.

- IF MATTHEW
REACHES THE SURFACE...
- WE'LL GET HIM. COME ON!

- MATTHEW!
- THAT THING IS REALLY
PISSIN' ME OFF. LORNE, WES.

- JAWOHL.
- WHERE'S WES?

WE LOVED HER FIRST.

IT GOT WES? YEAH. IT MUST
HAVE LOOPED AROUND BEHIND US.

IT KNOWS THESE TUNNELS
BETTER THAN ME, AND IT'S FAST.

I'LL TRACK IT DOWN. LORNE, TAKE
THE OTHERS BACK TO THE FORT.

WAIT FOR GUNN AND
FRED. AW. IF YOU INSIST.

UH-UH, DRACULA, NOT OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, FINE.
YOU LOVED HER FIRST.

BEFORE YOUR KIND
WAS, MY KIND LOVED HER.

STOOD STONE ON
STONE, BUILT THE TEMPLE.

ALWAYS MAKING READY.

BUT SHE CAME HERE.

"SHE"? JASMINE?

- EH?
- JASMINE.

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL HER, THE...

SUPERIOR BEING THAT...
THAT YOU LOVED FIRST.

YOU NAME HER!
FILTHY LITTLE MICE.

SHE IS THE DEVOURER,

THE SONG,

THE PIECE, THE WHOLE.

AND YOU TRY TO NAME HER.

WORK TO DO.

WE LOVED HER FIRST.

AND HOW DOES YOUR
KIND DEFINE LOVE?

SAME AS "ALL-BODIES."
SAME AS "EVERY-WHERES."

LOVE IS SACRIFICE.

MATTHEW!

MATTHEW! MATTHEW!

YOU SURE HE WENT THIS WAY? DEFINITELY
HEARD SPLASHIN'. IT'S GOTTA BE HIM.

UNLESS IT WAS ANOTHER ONE
OF THOSE SKITTERING CREATURES.

IT BETTER SKITTER ITS HINDQUARTERS
OUTTA MY WAY, 'CAUSE I AIN'T IN THE MOOD.

OR IT COULD JUST BE RATS.

WHAT'D YOU HAVE TO GO
AND SAY THAT FOR? DAMN!

SORRY. I WASN'T...

I'M SURE IF IT'S NOT MATTHEW, THEN
IT'S PROBABLY SOME HORRIBLE MONSTER.

BUT DEFINITELY NOT...
LOOK AT US, WHERE WE ARE.

YESTERDAY WE WERE HAPPY,
HAPPIER THAN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

NOW WE'RE TRUDGIN' THROUGH
SEWAGE, HUNTIN' SOME 13-YEAR-OLD KID...

TO DRAG HIS ASS BACK DOWN HERE SO HE DOESN'T
FIND OUT IT'S "SHANGRI-LA-LA LAND" UP THERE.

HE'S SCARED, CHARLES.
THINK HOW HE FEELS.

YOU HEARD ANGEL. FEELINGS
DON'T ENTER INTO IT ANYMORE.

THAT THE WORLD
WE'RE FIGHTING FOR...

THE RIGHT TO BE A HEARTLESS AND
UNCARING SHELL, TO BE DEAD INSIDE?

WE'RE GONNA BE DEAD, PERIOD, IF
JASMINE GETS AHOLD OF THAT KID.

WE'RE FIGHTIN' FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, CHARLES, NOT FOR ME.

MAYBE YOU CAN TURN OFF
YOUR FEELINGS LIKE ANGEL CAN...

AND LEAVE THE PEOPLE
WE CARE ABOUT BEHIND.

YOU HAD NO TROUBLE TURNING OFF
YOUR EMOTION CHIP WHEN... WHEN WHAT?

- NOTHIN'.
- WHAT WERE YOU GONNA SAY?

- FORGET IT.
- NO. WHEN DID I EVER...

WHEN YOU AND I KILLED A MAN.

I MEAN, WHEN I DID.

WE DID. WHATEVER.

POINT IS, WHEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES CALLED FOR
IT, YOU DID WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD TO.

DIDN'T MATTER WHAT
ANYBODY ELSE THOUGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT ALL
OF IT EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.

WHAT WE DID,

I FELT IT, EVERY BIT OF IT.

AND SOMETIMES, WHEN I ALLOW
MYSELF TO THINK ABOUT IT,

IT EATS ME UP INSIDE.

YEAH, ME TOO.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU, BUT...

I'D TAKE THAT OVER
BEING A SHELL ANY DAY.

COME ON. THERE'S A SCARED
KID OUT THERE WE GOTTA FIND.

YOU THINK I DIDN'T SEE THAT
BACK THERE? YOU'RE ONE OF 'EM.

UH, GOLDEN, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

HE'S TELLIN' THE
TRUTH. EXCUSE ME.

NOT TALKIN' TO HORNED DEMON.
TALKIN' TO VAMPIRE. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT YOU
SAW, YES, I CAN'T DENY THAT.

- BUT HE ONLY DRINKS
PIG'S BLOOD.
- LORNE.

IT'S TRUE. YOU GOTTA GIVE AN
UNDEAD FELLA POINTS FOR THAT, RIGHT?

I MEAN, UNLESS YOU'RE INTO
THE WHOLE KOSHER THING.

BUT I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT...
WELL, YOU DON'T LOOK...

OKAY. HORNED DEMON SHUTTING UP.

LOOK, I DON'T BLAME
YOU FOR FEELIN' THIS WAY,

BUT I'M NOT GONNA JUSTIFY
MY EXISTENCE TO YOU.

I WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO. BUT WHAT I CAN DO...

IS TAKE THAT SPEAR AWAY FROM YOU AND SNAP
IT INTO KINDLING AND BREAK YOUR NECK...

IN HALF THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE
FOR YOU TO GIVE IT A GOOD PUSH.

OR YOU COULD STEP ASIDE,
LET ME GO HELP MY FRIEND.

♪♪

THAT DOOR IS OPEN.

YES?

AREN'T YOU WORRIED
I'LL JUST RUN AWAY?

HMM. NOT WORRIED.

GOOD AT CATCHING FURRIES.

YES, CLEARLY.

SO.

NOT FROM AROUND HERE, ARE YOU?

NO.

OTHER WORLD. OLDER WORLD.

YOU GO. GO ON.
USE MY KEY. VISIT.

WHAT WE BREATHING THERE...

BURN OUT LITTLE MOUSE LUNGS
BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE A PEEP.

FAIR ENOUGH. "FAIR ENOUGH."

FAIR ENOUGH, ENOUGH.

ARE YOU PREPARING A
SPELL? MM. THIS BLOOD MAGIC.

FLESH MAGIC. OLDER THAN WORDS.

MORE, MUCH POWER.
THIS MAGIC, SHE WILL HEAR.

SHE WILL HEAR AND
REMEMBER HER TRUE ONES.

SO NO INCANTATIONS THEN?

NO WORDS.

SHE GIVE NO CARE ABOUT WORDS.

- WORD MAGIC?
- REALLY?

THERE'S ONLY ONE WORD SHE...

ONE WORD? WHAT WORD
DOES SHE GIVE CARE ABOUT?

YOU IS TALKY MEAT. DON'T
MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE.

MY GOD! WHAT IS
IT WITH YOU, MAN?

THIS IS DISGUSTING.

- YOU!
- JUST DROP THE CLICHÉ
SERIAL KILLER CRAP...

AND STAKE ME ALREADY.

- PLEASE.
- I TEAR YOUR GUTS
ALL INSIDE-OUT.

I-I STITCH YOUR GUTS "EVERY-ALL-OVER."
WHY DON'T YOU GO DEAD?

WHY DON'T YOU GO FU...

MORE TALKY MEAT.

YOU CAN'T KILL
HIM, NOT THAT WAY.

HE'S ALREADY DEAD.
HE'S A VAMPIRE.

VAMPIRE.

LIKE THE ONE WITH
THE ANGRY STEEL?

"ANGRY STEEL"?

THE ONE THAT HURT ME IN
THE TUNNELS BACK THERE.

- ANGEL.
- EH?

THAT'S HIS NAME, THE
ONE WHO ATTACKED YOU.

AH! YOU CREATURES, THROWING
YOUR NAMES ALL OVER ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SO WEAK. TOO
MANY ARE KNOWING YOUR NAMES.

TAKES YOUR POWER AWAY.

IT DOESN'T WORK THAT
WAY HERE. WITH US...

SO THAT'S THE WORD, ISN'T IT?

THE WORD SHE GIVES CARE ABOUT.

- SHUT.
- IT'S HER NAME.

SHUT! SHUT! SHUT!

SHUT! SHUT! SHUT!

MATTHEW.

IT'S OKAY. WE DON'T
WANNA HURT YOU.

WE JUST WANNA TALK,
BUT IT'S NOT SAFE HERE.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME
THE SUN CAME BACK OUT.

OH, YEAH, FORGOT TO TELL
YOU. SUN CAME BACK OUT.

ANGEL, HE'S A VAMPIRE
LIKE THE ONES WHO...

WE CAN'T EXPLAIN IT ALL UP HERE.
WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS. I SWEAR.

WE NEED YOU TO COME
WITH US. NO. NO, I WON'T GO.

SORRY, SON, BUT
WE AIN'T ASKIN'. HELP!

HELP!

FRED.

- FRED!
- WHAT?

GET HIS FEET.

SHE HAS A NAME, AND
IT HAS POWER OVER HER.

THAT'S WHY SHE
KEEPS IT A SECRET.

LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA.
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!

LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! NOT LISTENING!

AND SOMEHOW HER TRUE NAME
PREVENTS HER FROM CHOOSING A FALSE ONE,

SO ONE OF US HAD TO DO IT.

WHAT IT MATTERS,
EH? EH, TALKY MEAT?

I NO KEEP THE NAME.

HIGH PRIEST KEEP THE NAME.

AND YOU ABOUT TO GO DEAD,

ABOUT TO BE A SMEAR
ON MY FLESH SPELL.

I JUST MESSENGER FROM
THE ONES WHO LOVE TRULY.

WELL, THEN I GUESS IT'S TIME
TO SHOOT THE MESSENGER...

OR, YOU KNOW, CHOP THE MESSENGER
INTO LITTLE BITTY PIECES... WHATEVER.

AND THAT'S WHY WHEN WE USE
WORDS LIKE "UGLY-ASS" AND "BEASTIE,"

WE CAN SOMETIMES DO MORE
DAMAGE THAN WE INTEND TO.

IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT STICKS AND
STONES, MY YOUNG FRIENDS.

THAT'S ALL. A LITTLE LIFE
LESSON... ONE TO GROW ON.

- KNOWING... KNOWING IS HALF...
- MAN, SHUT UP.

MATTHEW?

- GUNN, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, MAN?
- HE'LL BE OKAY.

- I'M SORRY. WE... WE HAD NO OTHER...
- FRED.

- WHAT IS SHE TALKIN' ABOUT?
- NOTHIN'.

I'M NOT LIKIN' WHAT I'M NOT
HEARIN'. WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BOY?

THERE'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF BAD GOIN' ON
UPSTAIRS, AND YOUR BOY WAS WALKIN' INTO IT BLIND.

WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO, AND I AIN'T
INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINION ON THE SUBJECT.

MATTY? HONEY?

OH, NO.

I SEE YOU.

HOLLY, LOOK WHAT
THEY DID TO MATTHEW.

THEY HIT HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN
UNTIL HE LOST ALL CONSCIOUSNESS.

- HE JUST WANTED
TO SEE THE SUN.
- FRED, LORNE. TIME TO GO.

GOLDEN, MY LOVE, DON'T
YOU WANT TO HIT THEM?

DON'T YOU WANT TO KILL THEM?

YOU KNOW,

THAT JUST MIGHT MAKE
MY WHOLE DAMN DAY. GO!

HELLO AGAIN, CHILDREN.

I BELIEVE YOU'VE MET MY FATHER.

LITTLE MICE.

THEY ALWAYS SOFT INSIDE.

WRETCHED LITTLE...

TIME TO GO DEAD, MOUSE.

WAIT YOUR TURN, TALKY!

A LITTLE SOFT YOURSELF IN THERE.

DEVOURER,

THIS MEAT, I GIVE UNTO THEE.

THAT CREATURE, IT CAME FROM A WORLD
THAT'S WORSHIPPED JASMINE FOR MILLENNIA,

A WORLD THAT WE CAN
REACH THROUGH THIS.

WHAT?

I THINK THE UNIVERSE JUST
HANDED US OUR FIRST BREAK.

I REALLY HATE TODAY.

MORE WORRIED ABOUT
TOMORROW MYSELF. COME ON!

NO INSCRIPTIONS. NO
MARKINGS OF ANY KIND.

NO MOVING PARTS
FAR AS I CAN TELL.

SO THIS HIGH PRIEST HOLDS
THE TRUE NAME? EXACTLY.

WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIM?

I'M JUST GUESSING THAT
HE'S BIGGER AND MEANER...

THAN OUR BIG, MEAN
FRIEND OVER THERE.

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE
ME. WHAT ABOUT...

WES, SOMETHING'S GOIN' DOWN.

"SOMETHING"?

SOMETHIN' BAD.

CONNOR.

ANGEL.

ANGEL.

ANGEL! OH, GOD. ARE WE DEAD YET?

GUYS!

NO WORD. NO WORD MAGIC.

ANGEL, IT'S CONNOR.
HE'S HERE. I KNOW.

AND THE NATIONAL GUARD, I THINK.

NO!

NO WORD MAGIC.
POWERLESS. MORE POWER IN...

BLOOD MAGIC?

ANGEL, I GOT IT!

GO AHEAD. I'LL HOLD IT.

- YOU GUYS GET GOING.
- NO! WE CAN'T GO. ONLY YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THAT THING'S WORLD... THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL KILL US.

WE CAN'T HELP, BUT...

"BUT"? SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE
TRUTH HAS TO LIVE THROUGH THIS.

ANGEL, THAT'S YOU. I CAN'T.

HEARTS GET IN THE WAY, RIGHT?

UH!

ANGEL, WAIT!

WE CAN'T HOLD IT. TIME
FOR THE BIG FIGHT SCENE.

- MOVE ASIDE.
- ON THE COUNT OF THREE.

ONE, TWO...

OH, HELL.

GRR! ARRGH!
