PREVIOUSLY ONANGEL.

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A VAMPIRE,

AND HE WAS THE MEANEST VAMPIRE IN ALL THE LAND.

- [ Snarls ] - THEN ONE DAY HE'S CURSED BY GYPSIES.

THEY RESTORE HIS HUMAN SOUL,

SO HE GOES TO L.A. TO FIGHT EVIL...

AND ATONE FOR HIS CRIMES.

- CORDELIA? - ANGEL?

- I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN L.A. ARE YOU LIVING HERE? - YEAH.

I'VE BEEN SENT BY THE POWERS THAT BE.

I GET... VISIONS.

A NAME, A FACE.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS CITY NEED HELPING.

SOME NEED SAVING.

SOME NEED STOPPING.

YOU GAME?

[DOOR OPENS]

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. [WHISTLES]

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.

HI! IF YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, JUST CALL THIS NUMBER.

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?

"BADLY MUTILATED BODY FOUND IN A DUMPSTER

"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 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.

THIS IS NICE.

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.

[CAR ALARM BLARES]

[HORN HONKS]

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.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]YOU'RE DISGUSTING.

[KNOCK KNOCK]

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.

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.

[RING]

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.

I CAN'T LET HIM GET AWAY.

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.

[GASPS] 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!
