[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]

HI, LAURA. DIEGO.

LET THE CONSUMPTION OF COLD THINGS BEGIN.

EXCELLENT.

NOW, ARE YOU GONNA BEHAVE YOURSELF?

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME AT A PARTY?

HI. YOU HAVING FUN?

SURE. THIS IS, UM...

YOUR IDEA OF HELL.

ACTUALLY, IN HELL,

YOU TEND TO KNOW A LOT OF THE PEOPLE.

NO, I-I'M HAVING A GREAT TIME.

YEAH?

CAN I GET YOU SOME BLOOD OR ANYTHING?

I'M GOOD. OK.

STEVE PAYMER CAME.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

DAVID PAYMER'S BROTHER. STEVE.

STEVE!

HUH...

SORRY!

WHOO!

I NEED TO COOL OFF.

CORDELIA CERTAINLY KNOWS HOW TO THROW A DO.

THESE MINI-REUBENS--

WITH THE LITTLE SAUERKRAUT, THE LITTLE SWISS--

WHAT MAD GENIUS BROUGHT THESE INTO THE WORLD?

MMM.

WHAT SAY A COUPLE OF BROODING DEMON HUNTERS

START CHATTING UP SOME OF THE FILLIES?

HEY.

[CHOKING]

NICE SWEATER. HAND KNIT?

CERTAINLY NOT BY ME.

I DIDN'T MEAN--I MEANT, IT'S A GREAT SWEATER.

OH, WELL, I'LL--I'LL PASS THAT ON, THEN.

TO THE PERSON WHO KNIT IT.

I MEAN, I WOULD IF I KNEW WHO DID,

BUT I DON'T.

SO I WON'T PASS IT ON TO ANYONE, WILL I?

DIEGO, PANTS ON!

SO, WITH MY MASTER'S DEGREE IN FINE ARTS

I WAS ABLE TO LAUNCH MY VERY OWN BUSINESS

SELLING SANDWICHES DOWNTOWN FROM A LITTLE CART.

HUH.

YEAH, I DO SEE A LOT OF STUFF ON THE JOB,

SO I TELL MYSELF THAT I'M HONING MY EYE.

MAKES SENSE.

OH, I LOVE THIS!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?

I DON'T DANCE.

HI, DENNIS.

HOW YOU DOING?

STILL DEAD?

I KNOW THE FEELING.

[RATTLING]

HOLY GOD.

HEY.

GOOD MORNING.

IS THERE COFFEE?

THEY'RE STILL IN BEAN FORM.

I THOUGHT I ORDERED THE GROUND.

MAYBE YOU COULD CRUSH THE BEANS WITH YOUR VAMPIRE STRENGTH.

JUST MUSH THE BAG. JUST...

MUSH 'EM.

REALLY, UH, FUN PARTY LAST NIGHT.

I WAS SO GLAD YOU CAME.

YOU KNOW HOW PARTIES ARE: YOU'RE ALWAYS WORRIED

THAT NO ONE'S GONNA SUCK THE ENERGY

OUT OF THE ROOM LIKE A GIANT BLACK HOLE OF BORING DESPAIR--

BUT THERE YOU WERE, IN THE CLINCH.

I DIDN'T...

BORING?

YOU USED TO BE A PERSON.

DID YOU NEVER PARTY?

DID PEOPLE NOT GATHER IN OLDEN TIMES?

I TALKED TO PEOPLE.

LAURA--

LAURA THOUGHT YOU HATED HER.

I HAD TO TELL HER YOU WERE CHALLENGED.

I DON'T HATE HER.

I GOT 2 MODES WITH PEOPLE:

BITE AND AVOID. HARD TO SHIFT.

PLUS, I CAN'T GET TOO CLOSE. I MEAN, WITH WOMEN--

YOU CAN BE NICE.

IT'S NOT LIKE LAURA'S GONNA THROW YOU DOWN

ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR AND TEAR OFF ALL OF YOUR--

WELL, ACTUALLY, LAURA--

I'LL TRY HARDER.

STILL, I MEAN, THE QUIET, RESERVED THING--

DON'T YOU THINK IT MAKES ME KIND OF--

I DON'T KNOW--COOL?

HE WAS COOLER.

GOOD MORNING.

[SIGHS]

NOW I'M DEPRESSED.

WELL, I'M FEELING RATHER CHIPPER MYSELF.

THAT WAS QUITE THE SOIREE LAST NIGHT.

GLAD SOMEONE ENJOYED IT.

I ENJOYED IT.

A GALA EVENT.

IN PARTICULAR, THE TINY REUBENS AND THE SHRIMP PUFFS.

DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S ANY LEFTOVERS LYING ABOUT?

ANY ABANDONED SHRIMP PUFFS?

YOU'RE BROKE, AREN'T YOU?

ANGEL, A MAN'S FINANCES ARE HIS OWN BUSINESS.

YOU WANT A JOB?

OH, YES, PLEASE. I DON'T HAVE MUCH,

BUT AS LONG AS YOU MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AROUND HERE,

YOU'RE ENTITLED TO A CUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

WELL, THIS IS GREAT!

NOW WE'RE REALLY--

DO I HAVE TO TAKE A PAY CUT?

A TEAM!

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

THERE'S, UH, SOMETHING IN MY EYE.

OH, DON'T GO GETTING ALL SAPPY.

HOLD ME.

LOOK, WHY DON'T WE JUST--

NO, HOLD ME! WHOA!

HOLD ON, HOLD ON! CORDELIA!

GROSS! OH!

EWW IS ALL. UGH.

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

I DON'T JUST SEE. I FEEL, OK?

THANK YOU, DOYLE.

IS SOMEONE IN TROUBLE?

I'M, UH... I'M AT THE READY.

YOU'RE GOING TO THE ICE FACTORY ON FIFTH, DOWNTOWN.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

A CORPSE.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ACCESS THROUGH THE TUNNELS.

I'M DRIVING, THEN.

I'M COMING WITH YOU. I INTEND TO EARN MY KEEP.

OH, IN TERMS OF THIS KEEP, BY THE BY--

THERE'S NO DENTAL.

RIGHT. WELL, I'LL FLOSS.

LET'S GO.

HEY, BE CAREFUL.

GUY WAS BURNED TO DEATH IN AN ICE FACTORY.

THING THAT DID THAT COULD STILL BE THERE.

YOU DIDN'T GET A LOOK AT IT?

ALL I FELT WAS HIS FEAR.

AND THE EXPLODING EYEBALLS.

DID I MENTION I HATE THIS GIG?

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

AFTER YOU, SIR.

Wesley: HERE WE ARE.

JERICO ICE FACTORY.

BOSS, WHY DON'T I-- STAY PUT.

UM, STAY HERE AND WAIT FOR YOU.

CAPTAIN INFERNO, I PRESUME.

CLOSE ENOUGH.

I DON'T DO WELL NEAR AN OPEN FLAME.

ONLY...YOU DIDN'T BURN HIM, DID YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M NOT A BIG TALKER. I USUALLY LET OTHERS CARRY THE CONVERSATION.

I AM PRETTY GOOD AT PUTTING THESE THROUGH HEADS, THOUGH.

I AM CALLED TAY.

I AM NOT FROM YOUR DIMENSION.

SORT OF GUESSIN' THAT.

I WAS SENT BY MY PEOPLE TO STOP IT.

THAT IS MY CAUSE HERE.

STOP WHAT?

THE BRINGER OF CHAOS.

WHAT IS IT? DEMON?

MORE THAN A MERE DEMON.

IT IS A VESSEL OF PURE RAGE.

IT HAS ALMOST DESTROYED MY WORLD,

AND NOW IT IS LOOSE IN YOURS.

HOW CAN I KILL IT?

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO.

IT'S STRONGER THAN ONE MAN.

IF YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WISH TO LIVE,

STAY AWAY.

HE SAID HIS NAME WAS TAY.

SEEMED PRETTY SHOOK UP.

SAID THIS THING BRINGS CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION

TO HIS WORLD.

TAY. HMM.

COULD BE A KOVITCH DEMON FROM THE CAUCUSES.

HE'S NOT FROM OUR DIMENSION.

AHH, THEY MUST COME TO OURS VIA PORTALS.

PORTALS? THERE ARE PORTALS NOW?

WHEN DID THEY PUT IN PORTALS?

DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH ON OUR HANDS

WITHOUT BURNING MONSTER FIENDS COMING HERE?

WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHO HE IS,

WHERE HE COMES FROM, BOSS.

YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.

WESLEY, STOP KISSING BUTT.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE GET OVERTIME.

OH, WELL, I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.

I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN ANY OTHER SIMILAR--

KILLINGS BY INCINERATION LATELY?

SEE? ON IT.

UH, WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?

THE VICTIM'S OFFICE.

HE WAS IN PRIVATE SECURITY.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO HIRED HIM.

Cordelia: OK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION.

WORKING FOR THEM, IS THAT IT?

HOW MUCH DO THEY PAY YOU TO HUNT US?

I WORK FOR MYSELF, AND I'M HERE

'CAUSE I'M LOOKING FOR HIS KILLER.

HARD TO FORGET, HUH?

BURNED ALIVE.

KNOW ANYONE WHO DOES THAT KIND OF THING?

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

YES. WHERE? HOW SOON?

Operator: WE'RE SORRY.

YOUR CALL DID NOT GO THROUGH AS DIALED.

PLEASE HANG UP AND DIAL AGAIN.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS. WE HELP THE HOPELESS.

I HATE THIS CELL PHONE THAT YOU GAVE ME. ANY LUCK?

WE'RE STYMIED ON THE DEMON GUY,

BUT WE DID FIND 4 SIMILAR KILLINGS

IN THE LAST 11 MONTHS.

ALL GUYS, ALL BURNED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

DID YOU FIND IT?

YEAH. AND IT'S NOT AN "IT."

IT'S A SHE.

A CHICK THAT BURNS?

ARE YOU OK?

DID SHE--CARE--YOU?

DID SHE CARE ABOUT ME?

DID SHE CARRIEYOU?

CARRIE, THE MOVIE? YOU KNOW?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU. HELLO? CORD--IA?

YOU MUST BE GOING THROUGH A CANYON.

CORDELIA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I CAN HEAR YOU NOW. ARE YOU BACK?

YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU.

THESE THINGS WERE DEFINITELY COOKED UP BY A BORED WARLOCK.

I WANT YOU TWO TO KEEP TRYING TO FIND THAT DEMON TAY.

HE KNOWS A LOT MORE THAN HE'S TELLING.

I THINK SHE'S HERE ON SOME KIND OF MISSION.

I THINK HE MAY BE THE KEY TO ALL THIS.

WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?

UH, 2 RAISED RIDGES RUNNING DOWN EITHER CHEEK,

VIOLET EYES, UM...

SHE SEEMED INTELLIGENT,

AND SHE WAS VERY... ATTRACTIVE, FOR A DEMON.

A HOTTIE, HUH?

I GUESS SHE'S THAT, ALL RIGHT.

WHAT WITH THE SIZZLE.

SIZZLER?

THE SIZZLE FACTOR.

ANGEL?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

ANG--? AN--L?

CORDELIA?

EXCUSE ME, SIR. I NEED YOUR HELP.

WHAT IS IT?

THERE'S A MAN FOLLOWING ME.

I'M AFRAID HE MAY WANT TO HURT ME.

WHAT MAN? WHERE IS HE?

OVER THERE, IN THE BLACK COAT.

WE HAVE A CODE 3 IN THE FRONT GALLERY. ROGER.

CODE THREE.

HE HAD ON A BLACK JACKET.

AND THIS BRINGS US TO MANET'S INCOMPARABLE LA MUSIQUE AUX TUILERIES.

FIRST EXHIBITED IN 1863...

ON THE LEFT, ONE SPIES THE PAINTER HIMSELF.

IN THE MIDDLE DISTANCE

IS THE FRENCH POET AND CRITIC BAUDELAIRE, A FRIEND OF THE ARTIST.

NOW, BAUDELAIRE-- INTERESTING FELLOW.

IN HIS POEM LE VAMPYR, HE WROTE,

"THOU WHO ABRUPTLY AS A KNIFE DIDST COME INTO MY HEART."

HE STRONGLY BELIEVED THAT EVIL FORCES SURROUNDED MANKIND,

AND SOME EVEN SPECULATED THAT THE POEM WAS ABOUT A REAL VAMPIRE.

OH, AND BAUDELAIRE WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE TALLER

AND A LOT DRUNKER THAN HE'S DEPICTED HERE.

AHA! [GASPS]

THAT BETTER BE AN "AHA" OF TRIUMPH.

I WAS DREAMING THERE WAS A GOING-OUT-OF-BUSINESS SALE AT NEIMAN'S.

I THINK I'VE LOCATED THEM.

THE VIGORIES OF ODEN TAL.

THE WHO-DEES OF WHAT-EE?

ODEN TAL. THE MEN ARE CALLED VIGORIES.

THEY HAVE 4 DISTINCT RIDGES ON THEIR FOREHEADS,

ARE SAID TO BE FIERCE WARRIORS,

AND THE WOMEN LIVE ENSLAVED TO THEM.

WAY TO GO, WES!

ANGEL SAID THIS TAY GUY COULD BE THE KEY.

ANY WAY TO FIND HIM HERE IN TOWN?

IT SAYS THAT THE MEN ARE HERBIVORES.

THEY EAT A THICK STEW MADE FROM ROTTING PLANTS AND FLOWERS,

AND THEY NEED TO CONSUME HALF THEIR BODY WEIGHT A DAY.

WHOA.

SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR, LIKE, THE BIGGEST COMPOST HEAP IN L.A.?

[DOOR OPENS]

YOU. HOW?

A HUMAN WOULD HAVE BEEN UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOURS.

I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IF YOU ANSWER MINE.

YOU'RE A VAMPIRE.

AMONG OTHER THINGS.

WHO'S TAY? WHAT DOES HE WANT?

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

IF YOU DIDN'T KILL THE GUY IN THE ICE COMPANY,

WHO DID, SOMEBODY LIKE YOU?

WHY DO YOU THINK I WOULD SPEAK TO YOU

AND NOT HURT YOU?

GOTTA RISK IT. CALL ME OLD-FASHIONED,

BUT I CAN'T ALLOW TOURISTS TO GO AROUND TORCHING LOCALS.

LEAVE NOW. I AM WARNING YOU.

WHY? WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?

STAY BACK!

WE MUST GO.

WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?

IT IS NOT YOUR CONCERN.

YOU ARE NOT ONE OF US.

NO, BUT I THINK I'LL STICK AROUND, ANYWAY.

IT'S RIGHT. THIS IS NOT YOUR CONCERN.

THE TRAITOR IT AND THE OTHER ARE OURS.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU, YOU WON'T--

DO THAT?

Girl: HELP!

THEY GOT HER. WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO HER?

SHE WILL BE UNMADE.

Girl: N-NO!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME!

Tay: WATCH ITS HANDS.

NO! NO!

I'LL BE GOOD.

I'LL BE GOOD, I PROMISE, I--

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME.

WHY DOES IT SPEAK WHEN NO ONE LISTENS?

NO! NO!

IT HAS BEEN RECOVERED.

LET ME GO!

NO! DON'T!

IT WILL NOW BE RESTORED.

YOU BASTARDS!

SHH.

YOU'LL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AFTER THIS.

NO!

YOU SHOULD DRESS THAT.

YOUR WOUND.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

I THOUGHT THAT VAMPIRES WERE KILLERS.

THEY ARE. I WAS CURSED BY GYPSIES.

CURSED TO HELP PEOPLE?

YEAH. GYPSIES HAVE A STRANGE SENSE OF HUMOR.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?

THE GIRL IS A RUNAWAY.

I WAS TRYING TO HELP HER ESCAPE FROM OUR HOMELAND.

IF YOU HADN'T--

IF I HADN'T HELPED YOU, YOU'D BOTH BE WITH THEM RIGHT NOW.

PERHAPS.

WHY WAS THE GIRL RUNNING AWAY?

SHE WAS GOING TO BE UNMADE.

THEY WERE GOING TO KILL HER?

IN A FASHION.

YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

TRY ME.

IN ODEN TAL, WHAT YOU CALL PERSONALITY--

OUR PASSIONS--

THESE IMPULSES SIT IN AN AREA OF THE BODY

WE CALL THE KO.

AND YOUR PURSUERS, THEY WANT TO TAKE THIS FROM YOU?

FROM THE WOMEN, YES.

WHEN THE FEMALES COME OF AGE,

KO CONTROLS OUR PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL POWER.

IT EVEN SIGNALS WHEN WE'RE AROUSED

AND HAVE MET DESIRABLE MATES.

BUT WHEN IT'S REMOVED--

YOU'RE MORE EASILY CONTROLLED.

WE MARRY WHO THEY COMMAND,

WE SERVE WITHOUT QUESTIONING.

WE LEAVE BEHIND DREAMING.

BUT YOU ESCAPED.

I WAS THE FIRST. I AM JHIERA.

JHIERA OF ODEN TAL.

MY FAMILY RULES THE DIMENSION.

I'M GUESSING THE ROYAL FAMILY

ISN'T LOVING THE PORTAL-JUMPING, REFUGEE-AIDING DUTIES

YOU'VE ASSIGNED YOURSELF.

THEY TELL THE PEOPLE I'M DEAD.

BUT THE WOMEN KNOW.

HERE, WE HAVE A NAME.

WE HAVE A CHANCE TO BECOME,

BUT IT'S DIFFICULT.

WHEN THE KO FIRST MATURES, THE GIRLS CAN'T MANAGE IT...

OUR PHYSICAL ENERGY.

WE COME TO YOUR WORLD IN A FEVER.

THAT'S WHY-- THE ICE.

YES.

WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED-- ALONE--

I THOUGHT I WOULD DIE FROM THE HEAT UNDER MY SKIN.

AND YOUR PEOPLE...

THE MEN?

SOME RESPOND TO THE KO INVOLUNTARILY.

THEY TRY TO FORCE THEMSELVES.

IT WASN'T SAFE FOR ME

UNTIL I FOUND THE FROZEN WATER.

AS LONG AS I COULD STAY COOL...

THE WORST OF IT PASSED IN A FEW MONTHS' TIME.

THEN I STARTED TO LEARN TO CONTROL MY POWER.

LIKE LAST NIGHT, WHEN YOU BURNED ME.

I INTENDED TO HURT YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY ENEMY.

WHAT ABOUT THE GUARD? WHO BURNED HIM?

HE TRIED TO TOUCH ONE OF MY GIRLS.

IT WAS HIS OWN FAULT.

FROM WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, HE PROBABLY DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HER.

AND THE GIRL COULDN'T HELP KILLING HIM.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 4 GUYS WHO DIED

THE SAME WAY IN THE LAST YEAR?

YOUR GIRLS KILL THEM, TOO?

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? HAVE YOU BEEN--

NO, I HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING YOU.

BUT YOU INCINERATE A FEW GUYS,

SOMEONE'S GONNA START ASKING QUESTIONS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO,

AND I'LL HELP YOU IF I CAN.

BUT YOU CAN'T GO AROUND HURTING MEN IN MY WORLD.

I AM DAUGHTER TO A KING, SIR.

A KING WHO PROMISED HAPPINESS AND A BETTER LIFE FOR EVERYONE.

I DIDN'T DENOUNCE HIM

AND ESCAPE FOR MY GOOD ALONE.

I DID IT TO SEE HIS PROMISE COME TRUE

FOR ALL THE WOMEN OF ODEN TAL.

IF A FEW HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER TO PROTECT MY PEOPLE--

THEY ARE MY PEOPLE WHO ARE DYING,

AND IT'S MY PROMISE TO PROTECT THEM.

THEN TELL THEM TO STAY OUT OF MY WAY.

WAIT--

AND YOU, TOO. I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT COMING OUT HERE ALL BY OURSELVES.

MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR ANGEL.

CORDELIA, NOW THAT I'M OFFICIALLY IN ANGEL'S EMPLOY,

I FEEL IT'S DOUBLY IMPORTANT TO SHOW INITIATIVE AND DRIVE.

WE CAN'T JUST DALLY ABOUT--

LOOK! NANCY'S PETTICOAT.

OH. THEY'RE QUITE RARE.

NAMED FOR NANCY MITFORD, THE AUTHOR.

BECAUSE OF HER LOVE FOR--

RIGHT. SHOVING OFF.

I WONDER HOW WE FIND WHERE THEY KEEP THE COMPOST.

I'D SAY WE FOLLOW OUR NOSES.

WAIT.

WAIT. OK.

NOW I'M SURE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE.

IT SMELLS LIKE FLOWER POOP.

Tay: THE PORTAL WILL OPEN SOON

AND ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE.

WHEN THE PROPER COORDINATES ALIGN,

WE MUST MOVE TO THE ENTRY POINT IMMEDIATELY.

YOU WILL ESCORT IT THERE,

ENSURE ITS QUICK RETURN,

AND THEN REJOIN US.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IN THIS DIMENSION.

IT CAN GO HOME NOW.

WOULD IT LIKE THAT?

WOULD IT LIKE TO GO HOME?

IT IS HAPPY TO GO,

AS SOON AS YOU SAY.

AND DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER NOW?

Man: WE RECOVERED 2 THIS MONTH.

IT MEANS NOTHING.

THIS WON'T STOP UNTIL WE FIND JHIERA.

JHIERA. EXCELLENT!

JUST WHEN I NEED THE ARTISTIC EYE OF A GODDESS.

WHERE ARE THE GIRLS?

NAMASTE TO YOU, TOO.

THEY'RE RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT THEM.

ARE YOU OK? YOU LOOK SPUN.

HOW ARE THEY DOING?

THEY'RE CHILLIN'.

THE LITTLE SISTERS ARE FINE. REM'ING.

TELL ME WHAT'S UP.

THEY TOOK THE GIRL I WENT TO MEET.

MAN, THAT'S LAME.

THEY WILL FIND US BEFORE TOO LONG.

WE HAVE TO GO FROM HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE GIRLS AREN'T READY.

THEY NEED SERIOUS ISOLATION

AND TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

BEFORE THEY MELLOW OUT ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH THE WORLD.

THEN I'LL MOVE THEM SOMEPLACE ELSE.

MY SHAMAN HAS A PLACE IN THE DESERT.

HE NEVER COULD TURN AWAY SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN IN DISTRESS

FROM ANY DIMENSION.

YOU KNOW, I WISH YOU'D LET ME WORK ON YOUR MIRTH CHAKRA.

IF HE'S TRUSTWORTHY, AS YOU ARE, WE'LL GO TO HIM.

HE'S GOOD PEOPLE.

THEN CALL HIM.

IF HE ACCEPTS US, WE'LL LEAVE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

Man: THIS FOOD SOURCE WILL KEEP US SUPPLIED FOR ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS.

AT THAT POINT, WE MUST RELOCATE.

STILL NO ANSWER.

I BET HE FORGOT TO TURN THAT THING ON AGAIN.

YOU'D THINK A GUY WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE

AN ANCIENT SCYTHIAN SHORT BOW

COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE A CELL PHONE.

SO WHAT NOW?

I SUPPOSE WE HEAD BACK AND TRY TO FIND ANGEL.

OK, LEAD THE WAY, LOW AND SLOW.

NO. HIDE, HIDE, HIDE.

Man: SIR!

I BELIEVE WE'VE FOUND THEM.

WHERE?

A WORKER AT AN ICE PLANT TELLS ME

HE RECENTLY STARTED SHIPPING 2 TONS OF ICE A WEEK

TO THIS ADDRESS.

GATHER THE MEN.

THEY NEED TO BE PREPARED TO CAPTURE THE PRINCESS AND CUT THEM ALL QUICKLY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE NEARLY GOT BURNED FROM THE INSIDE OUT,

AND YOU'RE HERE GETTING ALL APRIL FRESH?

HELLO?

I BELIEVE SHE'S ESPECIALLY AGITATED

BECAUSE WE TRIED TO CALL YOU IN THE MIDST OF A SITUATION.

I HAD TO TAKE A SHOWER.

WHAT'S UP?

WHAT'S UP IS THOSE CREEPY DEMONS

SAID THAT THEY FOUND WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR,

AND THEY SEEMED VERY INTERESTED

IN CUTTING SOMEONE THEY CALLED THE PRINCESS,

WHICH I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IS NOT A HAPPY THING.

WELL, YOU'D BE RIGHT ON THAT ONE.

WE GOTTA FIND HER FIRST.

THE DEMON GUY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT

A LOT OF ICE BEING DELIVERED SOMEWHERE.

NO ONE SAID WHERE.

ICE.

Cordelia: YEAH.

SHIPPING ORDER. WE GOT AN ADDRESS. WE'RE HEADING OUT.

THAT'S IT? THEY SEEMED...

THERE WERE QUITE A FEW OF THEM.

PERHAPS WE NEED A PLAN.

HERE'S THE PLAN: WE GO IN,

I START HITTING PEOPLE HARD IN THE FACE,

SEE WHERE IT TAKES US.

UH, YOU WAIT HERE.

I WANT A WARNING WHEN THE DEMONS SHOW.

ALL RIGHT?

OHH. WESLEY.

WELCOME, BRO.

I NEED TO SEE JHIERA...NOW.

I'M SORRY, NO JHIERA HERE,

BUT I ALREADY SEE I CAN HELP YOU.

FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CLOTHES VIBE.

SHE'S IN TROUBLE. THERE ARE MEN COMING FOR HER.

AND WHICH DIMENSION ARE YOU FROM, BROTHER?

YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I THOUGHT I MADE IT CLEAR.

THEY'RE COMING.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT. WE'RE LEAVING IN THE MORNING.

NOT SOON ENOUGH.WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY. THEY'LL BE HERE.

NOW. THAT WOULD BE NOW.

HELP GET THE GIRLS OUT. YOU GO BACK OUT FRONT.

STALL 'EM AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

I'M GONNA HELP YOU WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

OH, MY, YOU'RE A...ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

WESLEY...

HOW ABOUT A RED CLAY MASSAGE?

WE HAVE HANDS THAT HEAL, BROTHERS.

THAT OUTFIT--IT QUITE BECOMES YOU, YOU KNOW.

WESLEY, GET A GRIP. THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO HOLD 'EM OFF ALL DAY.

MY, WHAT A GRIP. VERY HEALTHY.

SURPRISINGLY FIRM MYSELF UNDER THE JACKET.

HAVE A FEEL.

YOU'RE PATHETIC AND ABOUT TO GET YOUR EYEBALLS FRIED.

NO, BUT, UH... JUST ONE KISS GOOD-BYE?

JHIERA AND THE RUNAWAYS ARE OURS.

NO, THEY'RE NOT.

GIVE THEM BACK, OR THE HUMANS DIE.

THEN THEY DIE.

HOLD IT. HOLD IT STILL.

TIME TO GO HOME.

UNLESS YOU WANNA SEE YOUR LEADER DEAD, LET HER GO.

GO. GO!

I DON'T WANT YOU BRINGING YOUR WAR HERE AGAIN.

I HAVE NO CHOICE. IF THIS ENEMY PERSISTS,

OUR WHOLE SOCIETY CRUMBLES.

IF IT PERSISTS ON MY TURF, YOU'LL HAVE ANOTHER ENEMY.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR WAYS, HUMAN.

NO, I DON'T...

AND I'M NOT HUMAN.

NOW, IF I WERE YOU, I'D GRAB THE NEXT PORTAL OUT OF HERE. GOT IT?

OHH...

ANGEL... GUYS, WATCH OUT--

SORRY. I HAD A LITTLE--

MUSHING DIDN'T WORK OUT SO GREAT, HUH?

NOT TO WORRY. MY FAULT, I'M SURE. REALLY.

CAGEY LITTLE BRUTES, AREN'T THEY?

I'LL WASH THEM IF YOU LIKE, INDIVIDUALLY.

THEY'LL BE JUST AS GOOD AS NEW. BETTER.

WESLEY, STOP.

WOW. GROVELING ISN'T JUST A WAY OF LIFE FOR YOU. IT'S AN ART.

I DO NOT GROVEL. PLEASE DON'T FIRE ME.

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WAS AN ANOMALY.

I'M VERY RARELY TAKEN HOSTAGE.

THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW, AND YOU'RE NOT FIRED.

I'M NOT?

NO. IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT, AND YOU HANDLED YOURSELF VERY WELL.

WELL, THAT'S--I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW...

I'M YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANT, ANGEL.

LIKE I SAID, AN ART.

[DOOR OPENS]

OH, LOOK WHO'S HERE.

CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING? KNIFE TO OUR THROAT?

YOU CAN RUNAWAY.

COME ON IN.

THE GIRLS ARE SAFE OUTSIDE THE CITY.

I'M GLAD, BUT YOU NEARLY GOT CORDELIA AND WESLEY KILLED.

I HAD NO CHOICE.YES, YOU DID.

IF YOU VOWED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT, JHIERA,

IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHICH DIMENSION THEY'RE FROM.

AN EASY SENTIMENT WHEN YOUR PEOPLE ARE FREE.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULDN'T FIGHT.

JUST KNOW I'LL BE THERE TO STOP YOU IF YOU CROSS THE LINE.

I DON'T NEED AN EXTRA CONSCIENCE.

I'LL DO WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT.

AND I'LL DO THE SAME.

FINE. I THINK WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, THEN.

I HAVE TO GO.

GRR! ARRGH!
