PREVIOUSLY ONANGEL.

I FELT YOUR HEART BEAT. I'LL NEVER FORGET. I'LL NEVER FORGET.

Angel: THE MOHRA DEMON SAID THAT THE END OF DAYS HAD BEGUN, THAT OTHERS WERE COMING.

SOLDIERS OF DARKNESS?

Doyle: SHE'S REALLY SOMETHING, ISN'T SHE?

IF YOU WANT TO ASK CORDELIA OUT, JUST DO IT YOURSELF.

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

[ SNEEZES ]

DEMONS. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE DISGUSTING?

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT. MAYBE DOYLE DOES HAVE HIDDEN DEPTHS.

I MEAN, REALLY, REALLY HIDDEN.

DEFINITELY MORE TO DOYLE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

WE ALL GOT SOMETHING TO ATONE FOR.

NICE GUYS DON'T ALWAYS FINISH LAST.

YOU THINK I'M A NICE GUY?

Cordelia: O.K. WE FADE UP ON AN AERIAL SHOT--

DOWNTOWN, SKYSCRAPERS, LIGHTS, YADA, YADA, YADA.

WE HEAR A NARRATOR, PREFERABLY FAMOUS--

MAYBE THAT BALDSTAR TREK GUY OR ONE OF THE CHEAPER BALDWINS--

AND HE SAYS,

"IT'S A BIG BAD CITY OUT THERE."

CUT TO A WOMAN WALKING DOWN A DARK, SPOOKY, STREET-- ALONE.

WE'LL CAST SOME BEAUTIFUL YOUNG ACTRESS,

MAYBE AN UP-AND-COMING STARLET WHOSE CAREER IS ON THE VERGE OF TAKING OFF.

ANYWAY, SHE'S ALL NERVOUS, RIGHT?

MUCHO VULNERABLE.

THE VOICE GUY SAYS,

"DANGER LURKS AROUND EVERY CORNER."

BOO!

SHE'S ATTACKED BY A BIG, UGLY GOON WITH A KNIFE.

SHE SCREAMS...HELP!

IS THERE NO ONE TO HELP ME?

WELL, NOW THERE'S SOMEONE WHO'LL ANSWER YOUR CALL.

HE'LL PROTECT YOU...

AND CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL.

YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

AND YOU CAN COUNT ON ME,

'CAUSE I'M THE DARK AVENGER.

I'M THE WHAT?

THE DARK AVENGER.

I'M THE DARK AVENGER.

I KNOW, IT'S PERFECT.

WE CAN SHOOT IT OURSELVES ON HI-8.

I'LL CHARM A POST-PRODUCTION HOUSE

INTO DOING THE EFFECTS, AND--

LOOK, I KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT SELF-PROMOTION, ANGEL.

I'M TELLING YOU, ONE COMMERCIAL LIKE THIS

COULD HELP GET US OUT OF THE RED OR...

THE BLACK OR... WHICHEVER ONE MEANS WE'RE BROKE,

'CAUSE THAT'S US.

SO WHAT, BUFFY BLOWS INTO TOWN

AND PUTS YOU IN A PERMANENT FUNK,

AND I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO STAND AROUND

AND WATCH OUR BUSINESS GO BELLY UP?

HE'S NOT ENTIRELY WRONG, YOU KNOW.

LOOK, ALL I'M SAYING IS,

ADVERTISING A SUPERHERO WHO CAN'T REALLY GO OUT IN THE DAYLIGHT

MIGHT RAISE VAMPIRE SUSPICIONS,

NOT TO MENTION OUR PESKY LACK

OF AN INVESTIGATOR'S LICENSE.

AND WHO NEEDS A LICENSE WHEN WE HAVE NO CLIENTS?

WE'LL MANAGE, PRINCESS.

WE ALWAYS DO.

WE WILL IF WE PROJECT THE RIGHT IMAGE.

AND NOW I AM SUDDENLY THINKING

THAT ANGEL IS ALL WRONG FOR THIS COMMERCIAL.

HE'S A LARGER-THAN-LIFE CHARACTER,

WAY TOO BRAVEHEART FOR JOE COUCH POTATO TO RELATE TO.

WE NEED SOMEONE WHO'S--

WHO'S AVERAGE...

RUN OF THE MILL...

ORDINARY.

YOU'RE PERFECT.

WHILE I APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENTS--

COME OVER HERE INTO THE LIGHT,

AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN CREATE SOME CHEEKBONES.

CORDELIA, I'M NOT THE PHOTOGENIC TYPE.

PLUS, I GET DRY MOUTH.

EXCUSE ME?

THIS IS NOT A NEGOTIATION.

THIS IS A NECESSITY.

OUR BOSS IS IN A FUNK.

YOU KNOW THAT HE'S ONLY HAPPY

WHEN HE'S FIGHTING EVIL.

NOW LET'S DRUM UP SOME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE NEED EVIL FOR

WHEN WE GOT YOU RIGHT HERE.

I HEARD THAT.

IF YOU NEED HELP, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.

[GULP]

ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS IS THE BEST.

OUR RATS ARE LOW.

RATES!

IT SAYS "RATS."

OUR RATES ARE LOW, BUT OUR STANDARDS ARE HIGH.

WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN

AND YOU'RE AT THE END OF YOUR ROPE,

YOU NEED SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON.

AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE--

SOMEONE WHO'LL GO ALL THE WAY,

WHO'LL PROTECT YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

SO DON'T LOSE HOPE.

COME ON OVER TO OUR OFFICES,

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S STILL HEROES IN THIS WORLD.

IS THAT IT?

AM I DONE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M NOT GETTING EVERYMAN.

I'M GETTING, UH... WEASEL.

WE DON'T WANT WEASEL.

I THINK PEOPLE WILL BE POURING IN

AS SOON AS THEY HEAR ABOUT OUR LOW RATS.

I CAN TAKE ANOTHER CRACK AT IT.

I DON'T THINK SO.

WEASEL FACTOR, HUH?

DOYLE, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT.

I'M SORRY. I'M JUST... I FEEL KIND OF HOPELESS

WITH HIM DOWN THERE DOING THE NONPROFIT BROODING.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE HAS A HEART.

HOW COULD IT BE SO BROKEN?

I GUESS SEEING BUFFY AGAIN

HAS GOT HIM WHERE HE LIVES.

THAT'S ALL VERY SAD, BUT WE LIVE HERE, TOO.

I'LL TALK TO HIM.

MAYBE IF WE GET HIM A COSTUME.

A COSTUME?

WELL, THE GUY'S A BONA FIDE HERO.

WOULD IT KILL HIM TO PUT ON SOME TIGHTS AND A CAPE

AND GARNER US A LITTLE FREE PUBLICITY?

I DON'T SEE ANGEL PUTTING ON TIGHTS AND--

OH, NOW I DO, AND IT'S REALLY DISTURBING.

HEY.

IS THIS A PRIVATE CATHARSIS, OR CAN ANYONE WATCH?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WELL, THERE'S A GIRL UPSTAIRS

WHO'S NOT QUITE SAD ENOUGH TO CRY IN MY ARMS,

BUT KEEP UP THE DARK CLOUD.

I MIGHT GET LUCKY.

I JUST NEED A LITTLE TIME.

BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.

LAST TIME I SAW MY EX, SHE WAS AROUND FOR FIVE MINUTES,

AND I WAS A WRECK FOR DAYS.

IT'S AMAZING HOW THEY CAN DO THAT TO YOU.

BUFFY WAS HERE FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES.

O.K.

TEN. BUT WHO'S COUNTING?

ACTUALLY, SHE WAS HERE

FOR A WHOLE DAY AND NIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. ONE OF US HAS BEEN DRINKING,

AND I'M SAD TO SAY IT ISN'T ME.

WHO ARE THE ORACLES, DOYLE? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THEM BEFORE?

THE ORACLES? WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THE ORACLES?

THE FIRST TIME THE MOHRA DEMON ATTACKED, IT GOT AWAY.

WHAT FIRST TIME?

LOOK, I TRACKED IT, I KILLED IT,

SOME OF ITS BLOOD MIXED WITH MINE, IT MADE ME MORTAL.

THAT'S WHEN YOU TOOK ME TO SEE THE ORACLES

TO FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANT.

NO, SEE, I'M GONNA REMEMBER A TRIP TO THE NETHER WORLD OF ETERNAL WATCHING.

IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

THE ORACLES TOLD ME I WAS RELEASED FROM MY DUTY.

BUFFY AND I WERE TOGETHER UNTIL...

WE REALIZED IT COULDN'T BE.

WE DON'T BELONG TO OURSELVES.

WE BELONG IN THE WORLD, FIGHTING.

SO I WENT BACK TO THE ORACLES,

AND I ASKED THEM TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK...

AS THOUGH THAT DAY HAD NEVER HAPPENED.

HUMAN? YOU WERE A REAL LIVE FLESH-AND-BLOOD HUMAN BEING,

AND YOU AND BUFFY--

YOU HAD THE ONE THING YOU WANTED IN YOUR UNNATURALLY LONG LIFE,

AND YOU GAVE IT BACK?

MAYBE I WAS WRONG.

OR MAYBE CORDELIA WAS RIGHT, ABOUT YOU BEING THE REAL DEAL IN THE HERO DEPARTMENT.

SEE, I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN THE PLEASURES OF THE FLESH

OVER DUTY AND HONOR ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

I JUST DON'T HAVE THAT STRENGTH.

YOU NEVER KNOW YOUR STRENGTH TILL YOU'RE TESTED.

COME ON. YOU'VE LIVED AND LOVED AND LOST AND FOUGHT AND VANQUISHED INSIDE A DAY,

AND I'M STILL TRYING TO WORK UP THE NERVE TO ASK CORDY OUT FOR DINNER,

NOT TO MENTION THE WHOLE PART ABOUT TELLING HER I'M HALF DEMON.

THAT SHOULD PROBABLY COME FIRST, HUH?

THE ORACLES SAID SOMETHING VERY BAD IS COMING.

"SOLDIERS OF DARKNESS USHERING IN THE END OF DAYS" KIND OF BAD.

SO MUCH FOR THE SECURITY OF LONG-TERM SAVINGS BONDS.

I FEEL SOMETHING COMING, DOYLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT, BUT I KNOW WE'RE PART OF IT.

WELL, IF IT'S A FIGHT THEY WANT...

CAN'T SOMEONE ELSE GIVE IT TO THEM?

IT JUST SEEMS UNFAIR, YOU KNOW?

YOU GOTTA SAVE ALL THE HELPLESS TYPES AROUND HERE.

NOW YOU GOTTA FIGHT THE APOCALYPSE AS WELL?

YEAH. IT'S ALL THE SAME THING.

YOU FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT...

WHICHEVER WAY YOU CAN.

TELL YOU WHAT.

YOU FIGHT... AND I'LL KEEP SCORE.

ANGEL STARTED THE DAY OVER KNOWING HE'D REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED?

THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING, HUH?

AMAZING HE DIDN'T CHECK THE STOCK QUOTES OR THE LOTTO NUMBERS.

ANGEL SHOULD HAVE TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED.

WE CAN'T KEEP SECRETS FROM EACH OTHER.

NO, WE CAN'T.

THANKS.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINKING

ABOUT SECRETS AND WHATNOT.

AND I KNOW MY MARRIAGE WOULD HAVE STOOD A BETTER CHANCE

IF ME AND HARRIET HAD REALLY JUST... TALKED MORE,

REALLY LET EACH OTHER IN.

SO HOW IS SHE?

YOU TWO KEEPING IN TOUCH?

WELL, SHE'S DECIDED TO STAY IN L.A.

OH.

SO YOU'LL PROBABLY BE SEEING A LOT OF EACH OTHER, THEN.

WELL, NOT RIGHT AWAY.

WE BOTH NEED TO GET ON WITH OUR LIVES.

GETTING ON IS GOOD.

YEAH. 'CAUSE IF I WANT A RELATIONSHIP THAT'S GONNA LAST,

I NEED TO PUT A FEW CARDS ON THE TABLE.

SUCH AS?

THE THING OF IT IS...

I'M A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN MEETS THE-- OHH!

UH-- OH-- UH... UM--

UH, OH, I KNOW THIS ONE.

UM... UM... MASK.

UH, MASK HEAD.

UH... THE-- THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS.

UM...

WHOEVER YOU SAW JUST NOW...

DID THEY LOOK LIKE THEY COULD AFFORD TO PAY?

[GASPS, WHIMPERS]

SHH!

[JACKBOOTS APPROACHING]

PRETTY LOW RENT,

EVEN BY DEMON STANDARDS.

YOU SAID THEY WERE HIDING.

IT'S A GOOD PLACE FOR IT.

DOYLE.

SIGNS OF LIFE.

I SMELL SOMETHING.

STILL WARM.

THEY LEFT IN A HURRY.

NOT FOOD.

FEAR.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

IT'S O.K.

WE'RE HERE TO HELP.

WE GAVE ALL OUR MONEY TO A MAN

WHO PROMISED TO GET US PASSPORTS

AND SAFE PASSAGE ON A SHIP.

WE DIDN'T KNOW.

IT WAS STUPID OF US.

HE DISAPPEARED WITH OUR MONEY,

AND THE SHIP NEVER CAME.

WHERE WERE YOU GOING?

BRIOLE.

A SMALL ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF ECUADOR.

OTHERS OF OUR KIND HAVE FOUND SANCTUARY THERE.

SANCTUARY FROM WHOM?

THEY'RE CLOSE. THEY ALMOST GOT US.

WE LOST HALF OUR SUPPLIES.

RIEFF.

WE HAVE A GUEST.

IT'S THE PROMISED ONE.

TERRIFIC.

UH... AHEM.

I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME KIND OF MISUNDERSTANDING.

Elder: I DON'T THINK SO. MANY OF OUR PROPHECIES ARE CRYPTIC,

BUT ON ONE THING THEY'RE ALL CLEAR--

IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THIS CENTURY,

THE PROMISED ONE

WILL APPEAR AND SAVE US FROM THE SCOURGE.

THE SCOURGE.

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

HOW'S HE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US FROM THEM?

RIEFF-- THEY'RE COMING!

NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISED GUYS YOU THROW AT THEM,

THEY WON'T STOP UNTIL EVERY LAST ONE OF US IS DEAD.

YOU'RE GONNA GET US ALL KILLED.

HE'S YOUNG.

I'M SORRY.

EXCUSE ME.

WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS.

THEY THINK I'M SOME PROMISED SAVIOR.

WHAT?

THE SCOURGE.

YOU KNOW THEM?

WHAT ARE THEY?

DEATH.

WHO'S THERE?

A FRIEND.

I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS.

ALL RIGHT.

MAYBE I'M MORE LIKE A RELATIVE.

WHO'S IN TROUBLE AND NEEDS YOUR HELP.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

MY NAME IS LUCAS.

I'M A BRACHEN DEMON LIKE YOURSELF.

MY CLAN IS FROM OREGON. WE'VE BEEN LIVING IN THE WOODS THERE.

SAFE.

UNTIL THEY CAME.

NOT ALL OF US ESCAPED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK I CAN DO.

I GOT PROBLEMS OF MY OWN.

THEY KNOW WE'RE HERE.

THEY'RE COMING FOR US.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHO'S COMING FOR YOU?

THE SCOURGE.

WHO THE HELL IS THAT?

AN ARMY...

OF PUREBLOOD DEMONS.

THEY GOT A BIG HATE-ON FOR US MIXED HERITAGE TYPES.

VERY INTO PEDIGREE.

THEY HUNT US DOWN LIKE ANIMALS.

NO ONE FIGHTS BACK?

SURE THEY DO. ALL THE TIME.

YOU CAN KILL 'EM,

BUT THESE GUYS BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THEY'RE READY TO DIE FOR THE CAUSE.

HARD TO FIGHT FANATICS.

MORE LIKE IMPOSSIBLE.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO FIGHT.

JUST HELP US HIDE TILL WE CAN GET OUT OF TOWN.

YOU GOT THE WRONG GUY, PAL.

YOU WANNA SET UP A LITTLE OFF-TRACK BETTING,

THEN I GOT THE KNOW-HOW.

BUT DEMON-HIDING?

IT'S NOT MY LINE.

YOU'RE ONE OF US.NO, I'M NOT.

I WAS RAISED HUMAN.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO EXPLORE ME ROOTS.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO TURN TO.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU, MAN.

YOU'RE UP AGAINST SOMETHING REAL BIG HERE.

ANYBODY THAT HELPS YOU,

THEY'RE TAKING A CHANCE.

AND I'M NOT, YOU KNOW,

DYING TO TAKE CHANCES.

DOYLE, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE WE SHARE A COMMON FAMILY,

BELIEVE WE SHARE A COMMON ENEMY.

DOESN'T THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

GUESS NOT.

I PUNKED OUT.

I'D ONLY JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT MY DEMON SIDE.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.

THE IDEA OF SUDDEN FAMILY OBLIGATIONS

WITH GUYS THAT LOOKED LIKE BIG BLUE PIN CUSHIONS,

IT WAS JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO TAKE RIGHT THEN.

AND WHAT HAPPENED?

[KNOCKING]DAMN IT.

[GROANS]

[SCREAMS AND SHOUTS]

Lucas: BELIEVE WE SHARE A COMMON ENEMY.

Doyle: WHEN I GOT THE VISIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME,

I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A STROKE.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE IMAGES MEANT.

BUT I HAD TO KNOW IF WHAT THEY SHOWED ME WAS A DREAM...

OR REAL.

Doyle: IT WASN'T A DREAM.

YOU COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN.

THESE PEOPLE ARE GONNA TO NEED MORE THAN THEIR MYTHIC PROMISED ONE.

THE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED 500 MIGHT BE A START.

YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE SCOURGE, ANGEL.

IT WON'T COME TO THAT, BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA GET THEM OUT OF HERE.

Cordelia: HELLO?

ANGEL?

HELLO?

[GASP]

WHILE THIS MAY LOOK LIKE A... POPULAR BRAND OF BREATH FRESHENER,

IT'S REALLY A CUNNINGLY DISGUISED DEMON REPELLENT.

WINTERGREEN.

CORDY, IT'S O.K. WE'RE HERE TO HELP THEM.

OH. OH, HI.

UM, WHERE'S ANGEL?

HE'S TRYING TO SECURE DOCUMENTS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

DID YOU GET THE TRUCK?YES. IT'S OUT FRONT.

HEY, DOYLE, YOU DID NOTICE THAT THESE FOLKS ARE DEMONS.

YEAH, I KNOW THAT.

IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM BAD PEOPLE.

EXCUSE US A SEC?

O.K., MISSION STATEMENT CHECK.

AREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO BE BATTLING THE FORCES OF DARKNESS?

THEY'RE NOT FORCES OF DARKNESS,

THEY'RE HALF-HUMAN, AND THEY'RE IN TROUBLE.

NOW, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.

ANGEL WANTS YOU TO GO DOWN TO THE L.A. HARBOR,

PIER 12, SLIP 4, THE QUINTESSA.

USE ANGEL'S NAME. HE KNOWS THE CAPTAIN.

SO WE'RE BOOKING THEM ON A CRUISE?

BASICALLY, YEAH.

I'M GUESSING NOT CARNIVAL.THE GUY RUNS A FREIGHTER.

HE OWES ANGEL SOME MONEY. HE DOES THIS, THEY'RE EVEN.

OH, HO. HANG ON. THIS GUY OWES ANGEL MONEY?

WHY AREN'T WE COLLECTING IT?

CORDY, OPPRESSED DEMON PEOPLE HERE. NOT GETTING ANY SAFER.

SO WE'RE SENDING THEM ON A CRUISE, AND WE'RE PAYING FOR IT?

PLEASE. JUST DO IT?

WE NEED TO KNOW THE SHIP IS READY

BEFORE WE CAN MOVE EVERYONE.

BAD THINGS ARE COMING, AREN'T THEY?

VERY BAD THINGS.

I'M ON IT.

JUST GIVE ME A CALL ON THE CELL THE MINUTE IT'S DONE.

O.K.

I CAN GET INTO A HELL OF A LOT OF TROUBLE DOING THIS.

NOT AS MUCH AS IF YOU DON'T.

BIG RANDY'S MY BROTHER.

I LOOK THE OTHER WAY ONCE IN A WHILE

ON SOME OF HIS SHIPMENTS.

IT'S 'CAUSE HE'S FAMILY.

IT'S NOT 'CAUSE OF THE MONEY.

FAMILY'S IMPORTANT.

SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PAY?

I'M NOT GONNA PAY.

SO THIS IS JUST EXTORTION.

BIG RANDY TOLD YOU ABOUT ME, RIGHT? WHAT I AM?

HE SAID YOU BIT HIM?

NO, I NEVER BIT HIM.

SO YOU DON'T--

I WASN'T HUNGRY.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT THE DOCUMENTS TO SAY?

CERTIFY THAT THE SHIP IS CARRYING AN INSPECTED CARGO OF MEDICAL WASTE.

NO ONE LOOKS INSIDE THAT SHIP OR TRIES TO STOP IT FROM LEAVING PORT.

IF THEY DO, I'M GONNA BE FEELING IT'S YOUR FAULT.

THEN LOOK FOR ME TO GET A LITTLE BIT PECKISH.

HAVE A NICE TRIP.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT BOY?

WHAT IS IT?

RIEFF. HE TOOK OFF. HE DOES THIS EVERY TIME.

HE'LL BE BACK.

NO, HE WON'T.

HE SAYS THERE ISN'T ANY PROMISED ONE,

AND HE WASN'T GONNA STAY HERE

AND GET KILLED WITH THE REST OF US.

WE'RE NOT GONNA GET KILLED, ARE WE?

NO, NO ONE'S GONNA GET KILLED.

CORDELIA'S GONNA CALL, AND WHEN SHE DOES,

CLEAR OUT. GO TO THE SHIP.

IF YOU'RE NOT HERE WHEN I GET BACK, I'LL BRING THE BOY TO YOU THERE.

HEY.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE WENT?

RIEFF, WAIT!

WAIT!

YOU'RE FAST.

I'M WALKING. YOU'RE JUST OLD.

YEAH, O.K.

YOU KNOW WHAT? WE OUTTA GO.

ANGEL'S GOT A WAY OUT. A SHIP.

AH, GREAT. HAVE FUN. TAKE SOME DRAMAMINE.

YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH?YOU CAN'T MAKE ME.

YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

RIGHT. A CHOICE.

WHERE DO I WANT TO BE HATED? YOU WOULDN'T GET IT.

YOU'RE PASSING. MY MOTHER WAS THE SAME WAY.

COULD WALK DOWN THE STREET.

SHE TOOK ME OUT WITH HER ONE DAY. I WAS SO EXCITED.

JUST OUT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ALL THE OTHER KIDS.

YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT WAS?

WHAT DAY WAS IT?

IT WAS HALLOWEEN.

SO THAT'S MY CHOICE.

I CAN BE HATED BY HUMANS

BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED OF ME

OR BY PUREBLOODS WHO WANT TO KILL ME.

IT'S SO EASY. IT'S NOT MUCH OF A CHOICE.

SEEMS TO ME YOUR FAMILY'S ONE PLACE YOU KNOW YOU BELONG.

HEY. BETCHA THAT LITTLE GIRL'S GONNA MISS YOU.

YEAH, WELL, SHE'S DEAD BY NOW.

OR MIGHT AS WELL BE.

THEY'RE COMING AGAIN. I CAN FEEL IT.

IT'S GONNA BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME.

WHY? BECAUSE YOUR FRIEND'S THE PROMISED ONE?

SO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE.

NO, I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE'S MYTHS AND LEGENDS,

BUT I DO KNOW ANGEL, AND HE'S THE GENUINE ARTICLE.

MY HERO.YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE IS.

AND YOUR PEOPLE CAN CALL HIM "THE PROMISED ONE,"

OR "THE DARK AVENGER." I MEAN, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

IT MATTERS BECAUSE IT'S A LIE.

THEY PUT THEIR FAITH IN SOMETHING, RIEFF.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

MAYBE ANGEL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING. IT'S POSSIBLE.

BUT THE OTHER OPTION, LOSING YOURSELF SOMEWHERE,

HOPING IT ALL GOES AWAY, I KNOW THAT NEVER WORKS.

HOW ABOUT WE GO FIND YOUR FAMILY?

WELL, IT'S NOT EXACTLYTHE LOVE BOAT, IS IT?

SORRY. WE DON'T HAUL PEOPLE. WE HAUL CARGO.

IT'S NEVER COMPLAINED.

WE COULD BRING IN SOME BLANKETS OR SOMETHING.

HOW MANY ARE WE TALKING?

OH, MAYBE 20.

SOME ARE SHORT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, CHILDREN.

IT WON'T BE THE MOST COMFORTABLE THING IN THE WORLD,

BUT WE'LL GET THEM WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

[SIGHS] WE'LL TAKE IT.

[HISSING]

HEY. THIS WAY.

HUH?

I THOUGHT ALL BRACHEN DEMONS

HAD A GOOD SENSE OF DIRECTION.

YEAH, WE'RE ALL PRETTY GOOD AT BASKETBALL, TOO.

WHAT?

[SOLDIERS MARCHING]

THEY'RE HERE.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

Soldier: THERE THEY ARE! AFTER THEM!

GO!

IN THERE.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

SIT TIGHT.

DESTROY IT ALL!

DOYLE.

STAY HERE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

THERE'S ONE! KILL HIM!

[SHOUTING CONTINUES]

AFTER HIM!

FIND THE OTHER ONE!

[GASPS]

THEY'RE COMING.

GOOD.

THEY WERE HERE, SIR. RECENTLY.

AND WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON,

WHERE DO THE VERMIN GO?

KEEP LOOKING.

FOR WHAT? THIS?

BACK OFF. IT'S MY KILL.

VAMPIRES DON'T FEED ON DEMON BLOOD.

PLEASE. I WOULDN'T EAT THIS.

HE REEKS OF HUMANITY.

YOU'RE ONE TO TALK, VAMPIRE.

YOURS IS THE LOWEST OF ALL THE HALF-BREEDS.

YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?

YOU THINK I DON'T SMELL THE HUMANITY

INSIDE ME DAY AND NIGHT, POLLUTING ME?

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T!

SHUT UP!

A HALF-BREED WHO MURDERS OTHER HALF-BREEDS.

ALWAYS CHARMING.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I WANT TO JOIN YOU.

JOIN US? YOU WISH TO DIE?

I NEED TO BE CLEANSED,

AND ONLY YOU CAN SHOW ME THE WAY.

YOU CAN KILL ME IF YOU WANT,

YOU'D ONLY BE FREEING ME,

BUT I CAN KILL HALF-BREEDS FOR YOU,

AND BELIEVE ME, I CAN DO IT FASTER AND BETTER

THAN ANYONE YOU'VE GOT.

I KNOW THEIR MINDS, WHERE THEY HIDE,

WHAT THEY THINK.

I CAN HELP YOU.

MAYBE YOU CAN.

[LAUGHING]

TAKE HIM TO AREA ONE, NOW!

FASTER! COME ON!

I THINK I HATED THAT PLAN.

[GROANING]

AAH!

CAN ALL BRACHEN DEMONS DO THAT?

WE'RE STRONGER IN DEMON FORM,

BUT I GENERALLY PREFER TO PASS AS HUMAN.

WHERE IS EVERYONE?

RIGHT WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, I HOPE.

LOOK, I GOT MY CLEARANCE FROM THE HARBORMASTER.

WE HAVE TO GO NOW. I'VE GOT A SCHEDULE TO KEEP.

THEY'LL BE HERE, CAPTAIN, I'M SURE.

JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES.

ANGEL SAID HE'D CUT MY DEBT IN HALF

IF I DO HIM THIS FAVOR, RIGHT?

YEP, HALF. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

A BIG WHOPPING 50%. UH-HUH, QUITE A DEAL.

HE TAKES 60% OFF, THEN I WAIT.

YOU DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN.

WE CAN'T THANK YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ENOUGH.

I'M SURE RIEFF IS IN SAFE HANDS.

OH, DOYLE WILL GET HIM HERE.

YES, HE'S A GOOD ONE.

HE UNDERSTANDS OUR SUFFERING.

WE BOTH DO.

I APOLOGIZE. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT YOU DIDN'T.

IT'S JUST MORE FAMILIAR FOR DOYLE.

HE HAS TO LIVE WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PERSECUTION.

YOU ALWAYS DO WHEN YOU'RE HALF DEMON.

DEMON?

Tiernan: THE OTHER DAY, I WAS ASKED,

"WHY HUNT THE MONGREL?

"DOESN'T ITS VERY INFERIORITY

"GUARANTEE THAT IT POSES NO THREAT?

"WON'T IT DIE

OF ITS OWN INNATE MORTAL STUPIDITY?"

WELL, LET ME TELL YOU.

EVEN THE SMALLEST OF VERMIN NEED BE ADDRESSED.

HALF-BREEDS. WORSE. THEY KEEP CROSS-BREEDING,

FOREVER DILUTING OUR PRECIOUS DEMON BLOOD

WITH THEIR WEAK, SIMPERING HUMANITY.

All: YEAH!

IF WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN,

IT'S AS GOOD AS GIVING UP THE CALL TO EVIL ALTOGETHER.

IT'S AS GOOD AS TURNING HUMAN OURSELVES.

WELL, I SAY NEVER!

All: YEAH!

I SAY WE WILL NOT STOP

UNTIL EACH AND EVERY HALF-BREED IS ERASED

AND OUR PURITY RULES THIS PLANET!

WE WILL NOT STOP

BECAUSE THE HIGHER ORDER DEMANDS IT!

All: YEAH!

NOW, THIS VERY EVENING,

WE TAKE A GIANT STEP TOWARDS OUR GOAL.

TONIGHT, THE HALF-BREEDS THAT HAVE ELUDED US

WILL BE DESTROYED,

AND WE KNOW HOW TO FIND THEM,

THANKS TO THIS GOOD MAN,

FIRST MATE ON THE SHIP THEY THINK MEANS SALVATION,

NOT ANNIHILATION.

HE COMES TO US FOR MONEY,

BUT HE IS A BROTHER TO OUR CAUSE,

AND WE INVITE HIM TO WITNESS THE POWER OF THE BEACON.

TONIGHT, THE LISTER HALF-BREEDS--

INCREDIBLE, ISN'T HE?

HE MAKES IT ALL SO CLEAR.

YES, THINGS ARE VERY CLEAR.

Tiernan: THE LISTERS, ALONG WITH ANY CREATURES

CONTAMINATED WITH HUMAN BLOOD,

WILL PERISH THE MOMENT THIS CLEANSING LIGHT TOUCHES THEM.

WHEN THE BEACON ACHIEVES FULL POWER AND DETONATES,

ITS DEADLY REACH WILL EXTEND

A QUARTER MILE IN EVERY DIRECTION.

WANNA SEE HOW IT WORKS?

[WHIMPERING]

[SCREAMING]

A FITTING END FOR A SORRY MUTATION.

[ALL MUTTERING]

GO NOW AND DELIVER THIS, OUR MESSAGE!

OUR VICTORY DEPENDS ON IT!

[ALL CHEERING]

[GRUNTS]

SOMEONE'S COMING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU PUT US THROUGH? WE'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

Rieff: I'M SORRY.

LET'S GET YOU DOWN WITH THE OTHERS.

THANKS.

WHAT?

YOU'RE ALIVE.

AND YOU'RE NOT HAPPY?

WE WERE WORRIED.

OH, WELL, IT'S ALL GONNA BE O.K.

WHAT WAS THAT FOR?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE HALF DEMON?

I THOUGHT WE AGREED THAT SECRETS ARE BAD.

I WANTED TO TELL YOU. I WAS AFRAID.

I THOUGHT IF I DID, YOU'D REJECT ME.

I'VE REJECTED YOU WAY BEFORE NOW.

SO YOU'RE HALF DEMON. BIG WHOOP!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D THINK I'D CARE ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, I WORK FOR A VAMPIRE. HELLO?

IT'S TRUE, I JUST--WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM, SUPERFICIAL?

I MEAN, YOU'RE HALF DEMON. THAT IS SO FAR DOWN THE LIST,

WAY UNDER "SHORT" AND "POOR."

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?

THE HALF-DEMON THING, PRETTY MUCH MY BIG SECRET.

GOOD. THAT'S OUT. IT'S DONE.

WOULD YOU ASK ME OUT FOR DINNER ALREADY?

YEAH?

[CLEARS THROAT] CORDELIA...

WOULD YOU LIKE TO--IT'S ANGEL.

WE HAVE TO SHOVE OFF NOW.WHAT'S GOING ON?

I CAN'T FIND MY FIRST MATE.YOU WON'T. WE'RE GOING. GET TO THE BRIDGE.

Doyle: THEY'RE HERE.

ANGEL.

Angel: GET BELOW. LOCK THE DOORS.

WHAT? MOVE! NOW!

STAY WITH THE OTHERS.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!

LOCK THE HATCHES. THE SCOURGE IS HERE.

WE'RE SHOVING OFF.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT.

[CHATTERING]

YOU LIED TO US, HALF-BREED.

YOU CATCH ON QUICK, FOOTBALL HEAD.

KILL HIM. PAINFULLY.

Angel: IT'S GONNA DETONATE.

GET OUT! EVERYONE OUT NOW!

[CHATTERING, SHOUTING]

WELCOME TO A CLEANER WORLD.

SOON ONLY THE PURE WILL BE LEFT STANDING.

ACTUALLY, PURE-BOY...

YOU'LL BE ON YOUR ASS.

AAH, LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE'RE TRAPPED!

WHAT DOES THIS THING DO?

ITS LIGHT KILLS ANYTHING WITH HUMAN BLOOD.

WELL, IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER, AND THAT LITTLE DOOHICKEY'S--

IT'S FULLY ARMED, ISN'T IT?

ALMOST. I PULL THE CABLES,

I THINK I CAN STILL SHUT IT OFF.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO THAT WITHOUT TOUCHING THE LIGHT?

ANGEL, IT'S SUICIDE.

THERE'S GOT TO BE ANOTHER WAY.

- IT'S ALL RIGHT. - NO!

THE GOOD FIGHT, YEAH?

YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN TESTED.

I GET THAT NOW.

TOO BAD WE'LL NEVER KNOW...

IF THIS IS A FACE YOU COULD LEARN TO LOVE.

DOYLE. DOYLE!

DOYLE! DOYLE!

NO!

DOYLE!

NO!

[SCREAMING]

Doyle: "IF YOU NEED HELP, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.

"ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS IS THE BEST.

OUR RATS ARE LOW--"Cordelia: RATES.

IT SAYS "RATS."

"OUR RATES ARE LOW, BUT OUR STANDARDS ARE HIGH.

"WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN

"AND YOU'RE AT THE END OF YOUR ROPE,

"YOU NEED SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON.

"AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE.

"SOMEONE WHO WILL GO ALL THE WAY,

"WHO WILL PROTECT YOU, NO MATTER WHAT.

"SO DON'T LOSE HOPE.

"COME ON OVER TO OUR OFFICES,

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S STILL HEROES IN THIS WORLD."
