PREVIOUSLY ON ANGEL.

[ Wesley ] I'M A FRAUD.

THE COUNCIL WAS RIGHT TO SACK ME.

I'M SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T CUT MY HEAD OFF.

- KATE, DO YOU TRUST ME? - YOU KNOW I DO.

[ Angel ] 'CAUSE THERE'S SOME THINGS IN THIS WORLD...

YOU'RE JUST NOT READY TO FACE.

[SIGHS] MARK OF KEKFADLOREM.

I'VE HEARD OF IT. NEVER SEEN IT.

A KNIFE WITH THAT MARK

IS THE ONLY WAY TO KILL A KEK DEMON.

COULD BE VERY USEFUL.

ESPECIALLY IF KEK DEMONS WEREN'T EXTINCT.

THEY ARE?

OH, DEAR.

WELL, PERHAPS THERE'S ONE OUT THERE HIBERNATING, EH?

READY TO AWAKEN AT ANY MOMENT

AND EMBARK ON A GRISLY RAMPAGE.

I'LL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED.

[TIMER BUZZES]

Cordelia: THEY'RE DONE! NOBODY TOUCH!

SHE'S MAKING BROWNIES.

OH, IS THAT WHAT I SMELL?

I THOUGHT I'D TRACKED SOMETHING IN.

THE RECIPE WAS HANDED DOWN TO ME FROM MY MOTHER,

WHO GOT IT FROM HER HOUSEKEEPER.

PLUS I IMPROVISED A LITTLE.

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE 'EM.

- ME? - UH-HUH.

DOESN'T ANGEL HAVE TO-- GET TO TRY ANY?

THEY'RE BROWNIES FULL OF NUTTY GOODNESS,

NOT RED BLOOD CELLS.

OH, I WASN'T THINKING.

MORE A DRINKER THAN AN EATER, I SUPPOSE.

MAYBE IF HE'D BRANCH OUT INTO THE SOLIDS,

HE'D KEEP A DECENT KNIFE AROUND.

THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE!

IT'S FOR KILLING EXTINCT DEMONS!

ANGEL, MAKE HER STOP.

CORDELIA--

THAT BLADE IS VERY OLD.

WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF CORROSIVE EFFECT

HER COOKING MAY HAVE ON IT?

CORROSIVE EFFECT?

CORDELIA, JUST PUT DOWN THE VERY SHARP KNIFE.

WELL, THEY DON'T SMELL RIGHT.

I THINK MR. TOO-MUCH-COLOGNE

IS THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE STINKY.

CORDELIA, DOYLE!

I MEAN, UM, WESLEY.

WESLEY.

LET'S JUST, UM--

NO MORE FIGHTING, ALL RIGHT?

Boy: WHERE IS IT, STEPHANIE?

Girl: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING! GIVE ME THAT!

STOP IT!

YOU TOOK ONE OF MY CARDS!

I DIDN'T TOUCH YOUR STUPID CARDS.

WHAT'D YOU DO WITH IT?

STOP IT! MOM!

OK, THAT'S IT.

SHE TOOK ONE OF MY CARDS.

I DID NOT!

YOU DID, TOO! I HAD 5 OF THIS ONE,

AND NOW I ONLY HAVE 4.

WELL, THERE ARE CHILDREN IN INDIA WHO ONLY HAVE 3.

COME ON, IT'S TIME FOR BED, ANYWAY.

Both: MOM, NO!

Man: YOU HEARD YOUR MOTHER.

IT'S TIME FOR BED.

DO WE HAVE TO?

PRETEND TO READ ANY GOOD BOOKS LATELY?

CORDELIA, I THOUGHT YOU WENT HOME.

YOU CALLED HIM DOYLE.

IT JUST HAPPENED.

I HOPE WESLEY'S OK WITH IT.

OH, WHO CARES ABOUT HIM?

THIS IS ABOUT DOYLE.

Y-YOU NEVER SAY HIS NAME.

I SAY IT.

NO, YOU DON'T.

LOOK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE JOE STOIC ABOUT HIS DYING.

I MEAN, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THIS UNFLAPPABLE VIBE

WORKING FOR YOU, BUT...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT FOR ME.

I'M NOT UNFLAPPABLE.

GREAT, SO FLAP.

I MISS HIM.

ME TOO.

I'VE BEEN AROUND DEATH BEFORE.

A LOT.

I'VE LOST PEOPLE, I'VE KILLED PEOPLE.

AND YOU ARE DEAD.

SORRY.

IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET IT HAPPEN.

ANGEL, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

IT HURTS.

YEAH.

NO, IT REALLY...

REALLY...REALLY!

[SCREAMING, SOBBING] [GROWLING]

AAH! OH!

EASY! SHH!

WHOA.

WHAT'D YOU SEE?

1256. THAT'S THE HOUSE.

ANGEL?

[TIRES SCREECHING]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

YOU'RE BLEEDING.

ARE YOU GONNA CRY?

UH...I DON'T THINK SO.

I DON'T KNOW.

HUH, LET ME THINK.

UH, NO...YEAH, UH, NO.

NO, NOT GONNA CRY.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

RYAN.

RYAN, YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE DOING OUTSIDE?

Man: RYAN!

SON, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THIS.

NOW YOU SAY THANK YOU TO THE NICE MAN

AND YOU COME INSIDE.

Woman: RYAN!

OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED?

Man: HE WAS IN THE STREET. HE ALMOST GOT HIT.

PAIGE, HE'S FINE.

OH, GOD, MY BABY!

IT'S COLD. LET'S JUST GET HIM INSIDE.

YOU SAVED HIM. THANK GOD YOU WERE HERE.

YEAH, UH...THANK YOU.

IT'S OK.

[LAUGHS]

SCAMP, ISN'T HE?

OH, YOU'RE HURT.

YOUR SHOULDER.

YOU COME INSIDE.

YOU SCARED ME. [LAUGHS]

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT US TO DRIVE YOU TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM?

I THINK YOU MAY NEED SOME STITCHES.

I'LL BE FINE, REALLY.

I'M NOT A BIG BLEEDER.

WE JUST MOVED IN.

WE'RE STILL A LITTLE BIT JUMBLED.

IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER, YOU KNOW.

EVERY NEW PLACE, YOU HAVE TO START OVER.

FINDING FRIENDS...

PEOPLE TO TALK TO.

RYAN'S ASLEEP. HE'S...OUT LIKE A LIGHT.

HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE BOY.

HE IS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THAT MUST BE LIKE THE MILLIONTH TIME I'VE SAID THAT.

REALLY, THANK YOU.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU--

MONEY?

OR SETH'S AN INVESTMENT ADVISER--

DO YOU NEED SOME ADVICE?

NO, NOTHING. BUT THANK YOU.

PAIGE, HONEY, HE PROBABLY JUST WANTS TO GO HOME

AND GET CLEANED UP.

SO HOW DO YOU THINK RYAN GOT OUT IN THE STREET?

CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW.

WE HAVE BURGLAR BARS.

BUT HE MUST BE ABLE TO FIT BETWEEN.

WE DIDN'T THINK OF THAT. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER CHECKING.

SO WHERE DO YOU THINK HE WAS GOING?

GOING? HE WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

SO YOU THINK HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM SOMETHING?

WHAT WOULD HE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM IN HIS OWN HOUSE?

[CRIES]

OH, DEAR.

THIS BOTHER YOU?

NO.

LOTTA HEALTH NUTS THESE DAYS, YOU KNOW?

LIKE ANYONE NEEDS TO LIVE FOREVER.

NO ONE NEEDS THAT.

SHE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE BANDAGES AND...

THEN YOU CAN GO.

RIGHT. UM--

PAIGE WAS TELLING ME YOU'RE NEW IN TOWN.

WHERE DID YOU, UH--

WHAT?

THIS WAS MUCH WORSE.

UH, IT'S JUST A SCRATCH.

UH, SETH WAS TELLING ME ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVED BEFORE.

AKRON. UH...ONE WINTER THERE WAS ENOUGH.

YOU KNOW WHAT? STRIKES ME YOU NEVER TOLD US YOUR NAME.

ANGEL.

JONES. ANGEL JONES.

ANGEL.

HONEY?

SEE?

ANGELS.

I COLLECT THEM.

I THINK THE ANGELS ARE AROUND US ALL THE TIME, DON'T YOU?

I--I THINK, UM...

THERE ARE...BEINGS.

IT'S A NICE THOUGHT. LIKE SOMEONE'S LOOKING OUT FOR US,

KEEPING US OUT OF DANGER.

TONIGHT YOU REALLY WERE OUR ANGEL, WEREN'T YOU?

I THINK I WAS JUST IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

IT'S GETTING LATE.

COME TO DINNER.

PAIGE.

TOMORROW NIGHT. SAY YOU WILL.

LET US PAY YOU BACK FOR LOOKING AFTER US.

WE'VE TAKEN UP TOO MUCH OF ANGEL'S TIME ALREADY.

CAN I BRING SOMETHING?

SOMETHING'S WRONG IN THAT HOUSE.

WIFE WANTS TO TALK, BUT THE HUSBAND KEEPS GETTING IN THE WAY.

I'M GOING TO COME BACK TOMORROW NIGHT.

BE CAREFUL. I ALWAYS AM.

BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL.

PLAKTICINE.

I FOUND IT ALL AROUND THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOUSE.

SO NOW WE KNOW.

SOMEONE IN THAT HOUSE IS POSSESSED BY A DEMON.

[ENGINE STARTS]

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

WELL, MOM WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT AKRON.

AND BEFORE THAT MIAMI AND BATON ROUGE.

ALL WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS.

LET ME GUESS. COULDN'T LOSE THE BLACK CLOUD.

LIKE IT WAS FITTED WITH CHIN STRAPS.

EVERYWHERE THEY GO, THERE'S BEEN REPORTS OF DISTURBANCES AND--YUCK--

ANIMAL DEATHS?

IN AKRON, A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY WENT MISSING.

HE'S STILL MISSING.

WHAT IS THIS STUFF ANYWAY?

IT'S KIND OF PRETTY.

UH, IT'S THE BODILY EXCRETION OF AN ETHROS DEMON.

NO ONE COULD'VE SAID "DEMON POO"

BEFORE I TOUCHED IT?

OH, IT CAN'T HURT YOU. ONLY THE DEMON ITSELF IS DANGEROUS.

HOW DANGEROUS?

IT TENDS TO GO IN FOR MASS MURDER.

YOU'VE HEARD OF LIZZIE BORDEN? SHE KILLED HER PARENTS WITH AN AXE.

I REMEMBER THE CHILDREN'S RHYME.

AND HOW COME THEY'RE ALL FULL OF DEATH AND CRADLES FALLING

AND MICE GETTING TAILS CUT OFF?

ANYWAY, THE WHOLE THING NEEDS A RATING SYSTEM.

DON'T YOU THINK?

YES, WELL...

WHAT THE RHYME DOESN'T SAY IS THAT SHE WAS POSSESSED BY AN ETHROS.

Angel: AN ADOLESCENT ETHROS.

THIS AMOUNT OF PLAKTICINE,

WE GOT OURSELVES A GROWN-UP DEMON.

SO SOMEONE IN THE FAMILY'S GOT A SQUATTER IN THEIR HEAD. WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?

- EVICT HIM. - EXORCISM.

I'LL LOOK INTO FINDING SOMEONE WHO CAN PERFORM ONE.

NOT TOO MANY PRIESTS GO IN FOR IT MUCH THESE DAYS.

BUT WHO DO WE EXORCISE? WHICH ONE'S A DEMON?

THE FATHER SEEMED KIND OF OFF. THEY WERE AFRAID OF HIM.

A FATHER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE POSSESSED

TO TERRORIZE HIS CHILDREN.

HE JUST HAS TO--

WE'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH.

THE FIRST STEP IN CONFRONTING THE DEMON

IS GETTING HIM TO SHOW HIMSELF.

A LITTLE PSYLIS EUCALIPSIS POWDER INGESTED BY THE HOST--

Cordelia: THEN WHAT?

DAD GOES "RRRR," HEAD SPINS AROUND?

ESSENTIALLY.

OK, SO HOW DO I GET SOMEONE TO EAT EUCALIPSIS POWDER?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

I MADE BROWNIES.

MORE BRUSSELS SPROUTS, ANGEL?

NO, THANK YOU. I'M--I'M FULL.

EVERYTHING WAS...

VERY GOOD.

ROAST WAS A LITTLE DRY.

NO, IT WAS FULL OF...

ROASTY GOODNESS.

I THINK WE'RE READY TO TRY YOUR BROWNIES, ANGEL.

I'LL GET THE COFFEE.

[WHISPERING] I DIDN'T LIKE THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

THEY'RE GROSS.

YOU SEEMED TO LIKE YOURS.

I BURIED ONE IN MY MASHED POTATOES, TOO.

[LAUGHS]

WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?

ANGEL'S FUNNY.

YEAH? HE HIDES IT WELL.

LOOK, KIDS. SEE WHAT ANGEL MADE FOR US.

Stephanie and Seth: MMM!

MMM. IT'S, UM--

WHAT'S YOUR SECRET, ANGEL?

I USE...CHOCOLATE.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BROWN.

WHICH GIVES THEM THEIR NAME--

BROWNIES.

NO HOT CHOCOLATE FOR YOU KIDS TONIGHT.

THIS IS YOUR TREAT TONIGHT.

DAD! IT'S NOT FAIR.

KIDS, SHH. COMPANY.

[COUGHS, CHOKES]

[SCREAMING]

[HOWLING]

AAAAHHHH!

OH, GOD, RYAN, WHAT'S WRONG?

YOUR SON'S POSSESSED BY A DEMON.

- RYAN'S BAD. - RYAN?

RYAN'S ALWAYS BEEN BAD.

STEPHANIE.

Paige: BABY? DO YOU HEAR ME? [DOOR CLOSES]

PAIGE, LISTEN TO ME. HE'S OK--

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S OK?

I HAD TO GET THE DEMON TO SHOW ITSELF FIRST.

YOU DID THIS TO HIM?

THE DEMON WAS ALREADY THERE.

I JUST USED THE BROWNIES TO--

YOU PUT SOMETHING IN OUR FOOD? YOU POISONED HIM?

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE TO HELP US. YOU'RE NOT AN ANGEL.

PAIGE, IT'S OK.

SETH, HE DID THIS TO RYAN.

WE BOTH KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE.

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH RYAN HAS BEEN WRONG FOR A LONG TIME.

Paige: CAN YOU HEAR ME?

NOW YOU SAY YOU KNOW HOW TO HELP MY SON?

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU NEED?

A PHONE.

I FOUND OUR DEMON. IT'S IN THE BOY.

WE'RE NOT READY.

I FOUND THE NAME OF A PRIEST,

BUT WE'RE HAVING A SPOT OF TROUBLE RUNNING HIM TO GROUND.

I NEED YOU TO PUT TOGETHER A BINDING POWDER.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN THE PANTRY.

WE CAN CONTAIN HIM TILL WE GET THE PRIEST.

WE'RE COMING TO YOU.

HOW IS SHE?

SHE'S JUST-- [SIGHS]

IT'S BEEN SO LONG.

THIS ISN'T GONNA BE EASY.

FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS,

IT'S BEEN ALL I CAN DO TO HOLD THIS FAMILY TOGETHER.

NOW YOU COME HERE, AND TELL ME THERE MAY BE A REASON

FOR ALL THE TERROR AND CONFUSION AND A WAY TO END IT?

MAYBE YOU ARE AN ANGEL.

CAN YOU GET SOMEONE TO COME STAY WITH YOUR DAUGHTER?

YES. WHY?

THE REST OF YOU ARE COMING WITH ME.

THESE ARE MY ASSISTANTS.

HI, I'M CORDELIA.

SORRY ABOUT THE POSSESSION AND EVERYTHING.

UH, HELLO.

OH, I WONDER IF I SHOULD PUT PLASTIC DOWN.

ANGEL, ARE YOU EXPECTING ANY BIG VOMITING HERE?

BECAUSE I SAW THE MOVIE.

THE BINDING POWDER WILL KEEP THE DEMON UNDER CONTROL

WHILE ANGEL AND I GO FIND A PRIEST.

HE DOESN'T NEED A PRIEST.

PAIGE...

LISTEN TO ME.

THE ONLY WAY THROUGH THIS IS TO LET US HELP.

LOOK, YOUR SON IS POSSESSED.

DEEP DOWN, YOU KNOW THIS IS TRUE.

YOU KNOW IT.

CORDELIA WILL STAY WITH YOU.

WE'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS WE CAN.

DO NOT BREAK THE CIRCLE. IT'S IMPORTANT.

HE'LL TRY AND GET YOU TO COME TO HIM.

DON'T DO IT, DON'T TOUCH HIM.

HE'S BEEN EXPOSED AND HE'S ANGRY.

HE'LL KILL YOU IF HE GETS A CHANCE. YOU GOT THAT?

JEEZ, WE GOT IT. CIRCLE, ANGRY, KILL, KILL, KILL.

GO TO CHURCH ALREADY.

HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE-- HELLO. SISTER?

GOOD EVENING.

SORRY TO DISTURB YOUR PRAYERS.

I HOPE WE DIDN'T MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR PLACE.

NOT AT ALL.

HOW CAN I--

YOU WOULD COME INTO A PLACE OF WORSHIP?

I'M NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

NO?

O-OK. YEAH, I AM.

BUT I'M TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE.

A CHILD. HE'S POSSESSED BY AN ETHROS DEMON.

WHICH IS WHY WE NEED TO FIND FATHER FREDRICKS.

I'M AFRAID IT'S RATHER URGENT.

HE'S OUT BEHIND THE CHURCH.

THANK YOU. PROGRESS AT LAST.

THE LAST GRAVE ON THE LEFT.

HE'S--THE FATHER'S DEAD?

6 MONTHS AGO, A FAMILY CAME TO FATHER FREDRICKS.

THEIR DAUGHTER WAS POSSESSED WITH A DEMON.

A VERY POWERFUL DEMON.

FATHER FREDRICKS SAVED THE YOUNG WOMAN,

BUT HE COULDN'T SAVE HIMSELF.

IT, UM-- IT WAS AN ETHROS DEMON?

IF THE CHILD YOU ARE TRYING TO SAVE

REALLY IS POSSESSED WITH AN ETHROS,

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

BOTH OF YOU.

BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH IS VERY, VERY SMART

AND VERY DANGEROUS.

EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN YOU.

Ryan: MOMMY, WHERE ARE YOU?

MOMMY, I'M SCARED.

I NEED YOU.

ARE YOU THERE?

[SIGHS]

COULDN'T I JUST TAKE HIM HIS TOYS? PLEASE?

YOU HEARD WHAT ANGEL SAID, PAIGE. WE HAVE TO WAIT.

BUT WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?

THINGS WERE GOING REALLY WELL THIS TIME, WEREN'T THEY?

COULDN'T WE JUST KEEP ON LIKE IT WAS?

PAIGE, NO. NOT AFTER OHIO.

OHIO?

A FRIEND OF OURS--

UH, KIDS USED TO CALL HIM UNCLE FRANK-- DIED IN A FIRE.

THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

IT WASN'T RYAN.

MOMMY, I'M SCARED. IT'S SO COLD IN HERE.

MOMMY?

AND THAT ISN'T RYAN, EITHER.

PAIGE?

I'M NOT GOING TO HIM, OK?

I'M PLAYING BY THE STUPID RULES.

GOOD! WE CAN WATCH TV OR PLAY CARDS.

YOU'LL GET CAUGHT UP, WON'T EVEN HEAR YOUR SON'S PAIN.

MOMMY, I NEED YOU. I'M SO SCARED. COME HERE!

THIS IS JUST TOO CRUEL.

IT'S ALMOST OVER.

AND ANGEL IS GOOD AT THIS KIND OF THING.

AND WESLEY--

WELL, I'M SURE THEY'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE PRIEST.

YOU CAN'T DO IT.

I KNOW THE RITUAL. WE HAVE THE SUPPLIES.

YOU'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.

LOOK, IT TAKES TREMENDOUS STRENGTH, MENTAL STRENGTH.

RESISTANCE TO SUGGESTION. YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I LIKE TO THINK OF MYSELF AS POSSESSING A CERTAIN--

WESLEY, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE SALES RESISTANCE.

HOW MANY THIGHMASTERS DO YOU OWN?

THE SECOND ONE WAS A FREE GIFT WITH MY BUNS OF STEEL.

FATHER FREDRICKS WAS AN EXPERT.

A DEMON JUST LIKE THIS ONE KILLED HIM.

YOU'RE SAYING I CAN'T DO IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO OUR ONLY OPTION IS YOU DO IT.

[GROANS]

[SIGHS AND EXHALES]

THAT WAS VULGAR.

BUT I BELIEVE I MADE MY POINT.

[CHUCKLES]

ALL RIGHT, YOU'LL DO IT.

BUT I'M GONNA BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

SEE, HONEY? MOMMY'S RIGHT HERE.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

NOBODY'S GONNA HURT YOU, SWEETIE.

IT'S GONNA BE OK.

PAIGE, COME AWAY.

YOU WANTED TO SEE HIM. THERE HE IS.

AND HE'S GONNA BE FINE.

HE'S NOT FINE. LOOK AT HIM, SETH.

LOOK AT HIM. HE NEEDS ME.

MAMA, I CAN'T SEE.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY EYES AND IT HURTS.

WHY WON'T YOU HELP ME?

I'M HERE, BABY.

I'M RIGHT HERE.

[DEMONIC GROWLING]

PAIGE, NO. NO, PAIGE.

THE STANDARD LATIN SEEMS TO BE

THE RITUAL OF CHOICE FOR AN ETHROS.

GOOD. COME ON.

WHAT?

I BELIEVE I KNOW HOW THE PRIEST WAS KILLED.

WHEN AN ETHROS IS CAST OUT,

IT IMMEDIATELY SEEKS ANOTHER BODY TO INHABIT.

BUT THE DEMON IS EXPELLED WITH SUCH FORCE

THAT THE NEWLY INHABITED RARELY SURVIVES.

THAT'S A PROBLEM.

I DARE SAY. Paige: RYAN!

THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE COMING.

Ryan: Mommy. Mommy.

- NO! - PAIGE!

Cordelia: Paige! Here they come!

[BANGING ON DOOR]

MOMMY, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

Cordelia: PAIGE, OPEN THE DOOR!

SO GLAD.

[GAGGING]

[GASPING]

Cordelia: PAIGE!

[GASPING FOR AIR]

RYAN, NO! RYAN, STOP IT!

- ANGEL! - [KNOCKING]

Seth: LET GO OF YOUR MOTHER! LET HER GO!

HURRY! STOP IT!

I SAID STOP IT! LET HER GO!

OMNIS SPIRITUS IMMUNDE IN NOMINE DEI!

[ROARS]

IT'S RETREATED BACK INTO THE BOY.

IT'S GONE DEEPER. THAT'S LIKELY.

FROM NOW ON, YOU DO EXACTLY AS I'M TELLING YOU. UNDERSTOOD?

ANYTHING?

ETHROS DEMON.

ETHROS BOX.

HMM, THIS IS WHAT'S USED TO TRAP IT.

SAYS RIGHT HERE THE DEMON GOES ALL DINGY WHEN IT'S FORCED OUT.

BAD SENSE OF DIRECTION OR SOMETHING.

IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE BOXES, IT'LL GO RIGHT INTO IT.

"THERE TO BE CONFINED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS."

WHICH OUGHT TO DO IT, RIGHT?

OF COURSE, WITHOUT ONE OF THESE--

THE DEMON WILL TRY TO MAKE THE JUMP TO THE NEAREST WARM BODY.

RIGHT. SO YOU'RE SAFE, ANYWAY. MAYBE WE CAN BUILD ONE OF THESE.

UH, AN AUTHENTIC ETHROS BOX

IS MADE OF 600 SPECIES OF VIRGIN WOODS

AND HANDCRAFTED BY BLIND TIBETAN MONKS.

NOPE, DON'T KNOW ANY.

MELROSE AND ROBERTSON, BETWEEN THE YOGURT SHOP AND THE DOGGIE DUNK.

BLIND VIRGIN MONKS?

NO. RICK'S MAJICK 'N' STUFF.

IF ANYBODY IN L.A. WILL HAVE AN ETHROS BOX, IT'LL BE RICK.

LOOK, YOU BETTER HURRY.

OK.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

OMNIS SPIRITUS IMMUNDE IN NOMINE DEI.

OMNIS SPIRITUS IMMUNDE IN NOMINE DEI.

YOUR LATIN SUCKS.

[GROANS]

I KNOW YOUR TRICKS.

YOU'LL NOT DETER ME FROM DOING WHAT MUST BE DONE.

YOU DO SOMETHING?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN DO ANYTHING?

IN ODOREM SUAVITATIS.

TU AUTEM EFFUGARE, DIABOLE.

APPROPINQUABIT ENIM JUDICIUM DEI.

YOU COULDN'T EVEN WATCH.

EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU GOT FIRED

'CAUSE YOU COULDN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT.

NOTHING'S GONNA MAKE HIM PROUD OF YOU.

SKIMMING THE SURFACE OF MY MIND. VERY GOOD.

BUT A MERE PARLOR TRICK.

HERE'S ONE FOR YOU--

HOW MANY CROSSES AM I HOLDING UP?

OMNIS SPIRITUS IMMUNDE IN NOMINE DEI.

[WESLEY'S VOICE] ALL THOSE HOURS LOCKED UP UNDER THE STAIRS, AND YOU STILL WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR DADDY, NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE COUNCIL.

OMNIS SPIRI--

UH, THAT IS TO SAY--

[DEMON'S VOICE] LOSE YOUR PLACE?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE WANT YOU AROUND ANY MORE THAN THE OTHERS DID?

BECAUSE I INVITED HIM HERE.

THEN YOU'RE STUPIDER THAN HE IS.

TU AUTEM--

GO AHEAD, WESLEY. TELL HIM WHY HE'S A FOOL TO TRUST YOU.

EFFUGARE, DIABOLE--

[ANGEL'S VOICE] TELL HIM HOW YOU PLAN TO KILL HIM.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

[DEMON'S VOICE] OH, NO? HE'S MORE AFRAID OF YOU THAN HE IS OF ME.

I'LL SHOW YOU FEAR.

AAH!

[DEMON CHUCKLING]

BLESSED BE.

UH-HUH. I NEED AN ETHROS BOX.

A LADY WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS. COMMENDABLE.

YES, I'M GREAT. JUST POP IT IN A BAG, AND I'M OUT OF HERE.

I DON'T HAVE ONE.

YOU DON'T HAVE ONE? WELL...

WHAT'S THAT?

GOOD EYE. THAT'S A SHORSHACK BOX.

- WHAT'S THE DIFF? - ABOUT $20.

AND IT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN THE MAHOGANY FINISH.

LOOKS THE SAME.

HANDCRAFTED BY BLIND TIBETAN MONKS?

PIECED TOGETHER BY MUTE CHINESE NUNS.

NOW THAT'S CRAFTSMANSHIP.

LOOK, I HAVE AN ETHROS DEMON, AND I NEED A PLACE TO PUT IT.

WILL THIS WORK?

HMM, PROBABLY.

A SHORSHACK DEMON'S A LITTLE SMALLER THAN YOUR AVERAGE ETHROS.

MIGHT BE TIGHT ACROSS THE SHOULDERS.

WELL, HOW BIG COULD THE DEMON BE?

I MEAN, IT'S IN A LITTLE BITTY BOY.

I'LL TAKE IT.

OH, A WISE CHOICE.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO ENJOY THIS ITEM.

QUALITY ITEM. SHALL I HAVE IT GIFT WRAPPED?

THAT WAS TOO CLOSE. I LET MY GUARD DOWN. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK IN THERE. ANGEL--

IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. IT COULD'VE KILLED YOU, WESLEY.

AND MY SON? WHAT ABOUT HIM?

[CLATTERING]

ANGEL, WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

[DOYLE'S VOICE] THE GOOD FIGHT, YEAH?

[LAUGHING]

[DEMON'S VOICE] GUESS WHO'S HERE, ANGEL.

HE'S TALKING TO ME RIGHT NOW.

DOYLE WANTS TO ASK WHY YOU COULDN'T PROTECT HIM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- ENDING THIS. - SO ALL THEY HAD WAS--

GET IT READY.

YOU LET HIM DIE, JUST LIKE HE'S GONNA LET ME DIE.

[RYAN'S VOICE] AREN'T YOU, DADDY?

[SIZZLING]

2 GREAT PROTECTORS.

GET BACK.

ABRENUNTIAS SATANAE--

DO YOU RENOUNCE SATAN...

[DEMON'S VOICE] ABRENUNTIO!

ET OMNIBUS OPERIBUS EJUS?

AND ALL HIS WORKS?

ABRENUNTIO!

OMNIBUS POMPIS EJUS?

AND ALL HIS POMPS?

ABRENUNTIO!

EXORCIZO TE, OMNIS SPIRITUS IMMUNDE. ADAPERIRE!

[GROWLING]

NOW GET THE HELL OUT!

[ROARING]

[ANGEL PANTING]

Paige: RYAN?

OH, BABY!

OH, GOD. BABY!

UH-OH.

PLAKTICINE.

CLEARLY IT CAME UP THE ELEVATOR SHAFT.

SO IT'S UP HERE SOMEWHERE?

NO. LONG GONE BY NOW.

THEN GOOD RIDDANCE TO IT.

NO, NOT GOOD RIDDANCE. IT'LL POSSESS AGAIN. WHAT?

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO QUICK TO SEND THE ANDERSONS BACK HOME.

IT MIGHT ATTEMPT TO REPOSSESS THE BOY.

I DON'T THINK SO. NOT RIGHT AWAY.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

IT HAD TO EXPEL A LOT OF ENERGY TO ESCAPE LIKE THIS.

IT'LL NEED TIME TO RECHARGE.

YOU'RE THINKING THE DEMON HAS TAKEN ON CORPOREAL FORM.

IT'S MY GUESS. IT CAN ONLY ABSORB THE ELEMENTS IT NEEDS

IF IT MANIFESTS ITSELF PHYSICALLY,

WHICH MEANS IF WE CAN FIND IT IN TIME,

WE CAN KILL IT.

HE'LL BE LOOKING FOR A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT, SOMEWHERE DAMP,

PROBABLY RETURNING TO PRIMORDIAL VOLCANIC BASALT FOR HIS REGENERATION.

HUH? SEA CAVES.

WHY DIDN'T HE JUST SAY THAT?

WE'RE CLOSE. COME ON.

ANGEL...BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,

I JUST WANT TO ASSURE YOU,

INASMUCH AS WE'LL BE FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE...

WHAT THAT DEMON SAID BEFORE--

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT PLANNING TO KILL ME, WESLEY.

BUT YOU'RE WILLING TO, AND THAT'S GOOD. NOW COME ON.

[DEMON BREATHING HEAVILY]

YOU.

DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS OVER, DID YOU?

YOU ARE A FOOL.

YOU THINK TO DESTROY ME?

YOU'RE DEALING WITH FORCES BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.

YEAH? WELL, IT'S A HOBBY OF MINE.

YOU GREAT PUTRESCENT BULLY.

PICK ON AN INNOCENT CHILD? YOU THINK YOU'RE IMPRESSIVE?

I AM ETHROS. I CORRUPTED THE SPIRITS OF MEN

BEFORE THEY HAD SPEECH TO NAME ME.

THE CHILD WAS BUT THE LAST AMONG TENS OF THOUSANDS.

ONE MORE PURE HEART TO CORRUPT, ONE MORE SOUL TO SUCK DRY.

WELL, CHALK UP ONE EXCITING FAILURE.

YOU DIDN'T GET THAT BOY'S SOUL.

HMPH. WHAT SOUL?

SHE HAS 9 MARSHMALLOWS, AND I ONLY HAVE 7.

WELL, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WRITE THE NESTLE BUNNY ABOUT THAT.

HEY, DRINK UP. IT'S WAY PAST BEDTIME.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING IN THE WORLD IS?

NOTHING.

THAT'S WHAT I FOUND IN THE BOY.

NO CONSCIENCE, NO FEAR, NO HUMANITY.

JUST A BLACK VOID. I COULDN'T CONTROL HIM.

I COULDN'T GET OUT. I NEVER EVEN MANIFESTED UNTIL YOU BROUGHT ME FORTH.

I JUST SAT THERE AND WATCHED AS HE DESTROYED EVERYTHING AROUND HIM,

NOT FROM A BELIEF IN EVIL, NOT FOR ANY REASON AT ALL.

HE DOESN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER ANY OF IT.

GOOD.

THAT BOY'S MIND WAS THE BLACKEST HELL I'VE EVER KNOWN.

THE MARBLES. THAT WAS YOU.

WHEN HE SLEPT, I COULD WHISPER IN HIM.

I TRIED TO GET HIM TO END HIS LIFE, EVEN IF IT MEANT ENDING MINE.

YOU SLEEPWALKED HIM IN FRONT OF THE CAR.

I HAD GIVEN UP...HOPE.

I KNOW YOU BRING DEATH. I DO NOT FEAR IT.

THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER FEARED IS IN THAT HOUSE.

ANGEL, HE'S WITH HIS FAMILY. WE HAVE TO HURRY.

YES, YOU DO.

GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART. [DEMON SCREAMING]

RYAN?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I DON'T KNOW.

[DIAL TONE] Paige: RYAN?

Seth: RYAN, OPEN THE DOOR.

RYAN, SWEETIE!

RYAN, OPEN THE DOOR!

STEPHANIE?

Seth: LISTEN TO ME! OPEN THE DOOR!

COME ON! RYAN, OPEN THE DOOR!

Paige: RYAN!

[POUNDING] OPEN THIS DOOR!

OPEN THE DOOR NOW!

RYAN! DO YOU HEAR ME?

OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!

WHAT IS HE DOING OUT THERE?

RYAN, OPEN THIS DOOR!

DO YOU HEAR ME? OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? RYAN!

[CLOSED DOOR THUDDING]

RYAN, OPEN THE DOOR NOW!

[SMOKE ALARM BLARING] [STEPHANIE SCREAMING]

Stephanie: MOM, DAD, HELP!

[STEPHANIE SCREAMS] [LOUD BANG]

STEPHANIE! [STEPHANIE COUGHING]

- STEPHANIE! - STEPHANIE!

STEPHANIE! [GLASS BREAKING]

EVERYBODY OUT! GO! GO, GO!

[RADIO CHATTER, INDISTINCT]

[RADIO CHATTER CONTINUES]

HEY.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

SOCIAL SERVICES WILL TAKE OVER FROM HERE.

THEY'LL WANNA SPEAK TO YOUR SON ALONE FIRST.

WHEN WILL WE GET TO SEE HIM?

NOT UNTIL TOMORROW.

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HIM?

WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL AFTER THE EVALUATION.

THANKS FOR COMING BY, KATE.

[CHATTERING]

Man on radio: ETA IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES.

I WON'T BE ABLE TO COVER FOR HIM ANYMORE.

[SIREN WAILING]

THEY'RE GONNA WANNA KNOW ABOUT OHIO...

AND EVERYTHING.

I WANTED TO PROTECT HIM.

I KNOW.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO HOLD MY FAMILY TOGETHER.

I THINK YOU DID.

COME HERE, YOU.

MMM.

GRR! ARRGH!
