All language subtitles for Angel S01E22 - To Shanshu in L A (1080p AI Upscale AMZN WEB-DL x265 HEVC 10bit AC3 Vertag)_track3_[eng]

Previously on Angel.

[ Kate ]
Angelus. A particularly
brutal bastard by all accounts.

They gave you a soul,
a filthy soul! No!

- Darla.
- You're disgusting!

What are you?

[ Angel ] There are
some things in this world
you're just not ready to face.

[ Lindsey ]
Should you continue
to harass our client,

we'll be forced to bring
you into the light of day.

A place I'm told is not
all that healthy for you.

I need your help.
I want out.

I get myself killed, that'll
convince you I've changed.

It's a start.

What I'm offering you,
Lindsey, is the world.

[ Alarm Beeping ]

Is there a reason
you took this?

I don't really know.

The prophecies of Aberjian--
There is an entire passage...
about you.

[ Wesley ]
Shanshu.

Shanshu.

Or maybe it's "shushan."

Are you still trying
to figure out that word?
What's taking so long?

Gee, I don't know,
Cordelia.

The prophecies of Aberjian
were only written over
the last 4,000 years...

in a dozen different languages,
some of which aren't even human.

Why don't we just get
a Falanjoid demon in here,
suck the brain out of my skull?

Maybe that
would speed things up.
[ Sighs ]

He sure gets testy
when he's translating.

This word is pivotal
to what it prophesies about
the vampire with a soul.

Well, hurry up and figure out
what it says about Angel,

'cause I want to know
what it says about me.

If there's torrid romance
in my future,
massive wealth.

If I have to,
I'll settle for enviable fame.

It's an ancient sacred text,
not a magic eight ball.

Nobody gets my humor.

I thought it was funny.
Oh.

[ Cordelia ]
Hey, guys?

You remember
born-again lawyer boy...

who wanted out of
Wolfram and Hart so bad?
Lindsey?

They just promoted him.
Junior partner.

After all
you did for him,

he sells his soul for
30 pieces of silver.

Actually, he sold it
for a six-figure salary
and a full benefits package.

It's disappointing.
He had an opportunity to change.

He didn't take it.

[ Sighs ]
[ Creaking ]

What?

Little late for visitors.

[ Gasps ]
Oh!

- Mr. Nabbit?
- David?

Heart--
Heart in my throat.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to--

No, it was awesome!
Can we do it again?

Are you--
Do you need help?

Me? No,
I just popped by to hang.

I blew off
my board of directors,
'cause tonight's my turn...

to be Dungeon Master.

- What do you think of my cape?
- Shiny.

You guys want to hang?

Oh, wow!
Wow, wow, wow, wow.

Oh!
[ Chuckles ]

[ Whistles ]

This is where
it all happens.

They're helpless,
in agony.

They have no one to turn to,
so they come here to you,

drink that coffee,
sit on this couch,

unspeakable fiends of hell
hot on their heels.

Uh, what did I do today?

Spun off
my digital pager network.
Made a few more million.

All right, several.
Big whoop.
What does that mean?

No more shopping
in the Penny Saver?

It's just you guys--

You know, your lives
are so meaningful,
so exciting.

You fight demons.
At any moment,

one of them could
walk right through
that very door.

You guys seen
any cool demons lately?

[ Men Chanting ]
This hallowed ground
is made ready.

His time is at hand.

For as it was written,
he of pure darkness...

shall come into the light.

[ Rumbling ]

Welcome to Wolfram and Hart.
I hope you had
a pleasant journey.

You-- You guys are--
[ Sighs ]

Never know what's gonna
happen around here.

That's--

Okay, good to see you.
You too.

It was fun.
Drop by again.

We'll hang soon.

I think I know what it means.

A very wealthy man
with just no life at all?

No, the word in the scroll.

That shoeshine thing?

Shanshu.

If it isn't Phygian
but descends instead
from the ancient Magyars,

then the root
would be Proto-Ugaric.

In which case it would mean--

We're waiting.

Death.

But you said
it was all about
the vampire with a soul.

Angel's going to die?

Oh.
Anything else?

He certainly
took that well.

Is this that opportune time
to talk about my raise?

It's probably years off...
after the coming battles.

My raise?

Apocalyptic prophecies
aren't exactly a science.

And I could be
way off the mark, so...

no reason to be concerned.
Hmm.

So it's good
you're not concerned.

Not even remotely concerned.

[ Gasping ]

Easy, easy.

Pain!
Killer!

- Painful killer demon.
- Painkiller!

Oh.

A woman-- judging by
the plastic bag on her head,
I'm guessing homeless--

versus a slime demon.
Where?

I smelled something awful.

That would be
the slime demon--
Yuck--

who lives behind
a waste treatment plant
in El Segundo.

Got it. Nope.
Stay here and take care of her.
Do you need--

Enough with
the scratch-n-sniff visions!

Here we are.
Oh, thanks.

I ever meet those
Powers That Be, I'm gonna
punch 'em in the nose.

You think they have a nose?

You lost
the scroll of Aberjian?

The scroll was stolen
from our vault.

The raising cannot be performed
without the scroll.

We understand that.
It was my mistake.
I'll rectify it.

You will do nothing!
I will retrieve
the scroll myself.

Who stole it?

Angel.

Angel? I am summoned
for the raising--

the very thing
that was to bring
this creature down to us,

tear him from
the Powers That Be--
and he has the scroll?

We're not unaware of the irony.
He is in possession
of the prophecies.

His connection
to the Powers That Be
is complete.

He hasn't had time to make
a full study of the text.

No, and he won't.

All avenues to the Powers
shall be cut off from him...

and the scroll
returned to us.

- What can we do to help?
- You can leave it to me.

[ Door Opens ]

Well, end of discussion.

[ Siren Wailing ]

[ Police Radio Chattering ]

Told you she'd show.
She listens for the nut calls
on her scanner.

Sure she doesn't
pick up the radio waves
on her brain chip?

Detective.
According to the report,

there was a lot of
"otherworldly howling
and wailing."

The call said something about
something slimy dragging
a homeless woman away.

I heard the call.
Stay here.

Don't you want some backup,
Detective?

Or a Ouija Board?

[ Woman Moaning ]
[ Can Clattering ]

[ Man Whispering ]

Just relax.

You're fine.

I understand.
No.

[ Woman Sobbing ]

You see what they do?
You turn your back,
and they come for you.

- You're safe now.
- Yeah, you killed him.
Sliced him up real good.

He saved me
from one of their spies.

And by the way,
I don't appreciate
the dental association...

watching me like that.

Hi.
What was it?

It's okay.
It won't hurt anyone else.
What was it?

Slime demon.

Gee, this town
has everything, doesn't it?
Demons, fiends, vampires.

Look, I know this
hasn't been easy for you.

It's okay.
Most people can't handle
what's really out here, Kate.

Maybe you should think about--
[ Laughing ]
Sorry. It's just--

Someone who's
not even a person
lecturing me on most people--

It's kind of funny.

I can handle it fine.

And I don't care
about most people
or what they think of me.

What I do care about
is ridding this city
of your kind.

My kind?
Your kind.

The kind that killed my father.
Did you think I would
just forget about that?

I don't forget anything.

Death.

Every source says it's death.

Well, it's just a prophecy.
It's not like
it came from on high.

That's what a prophecy is,
Cordelia.

All right.
But Angel faces death
all the time,

just like a normal guy
faces waffles
and French fries.

It's something
he faces every day,
like... lunch.

Are you hungry?

The fact that
his death is prophesied,
which isn't good news,

doesn't concern me
nearly as much as the way
he took that news.

What? He didn't scream
like a girl
as some of us would've?

Angel's cool.
Angel's cut off.

Death doesn't bother him
because there's
nothing in life he wants.

It's our desires
that make us human.

Angel's kind of human.
He's got a soul.

He's got a soul...
but he's not a part
of the world.

He-He can never be
part of the world.
Because he doesn't want stuff?

That's ridiculous.

Hey, I want that!
What connects us
to life?

Right now?
I'm going with donuts.

What connects us to life
is the simple truth that
we're part of it.

We live. We grow.
We change.

But Angel--
Can't do
any of those things.

Hey--
[ Sighs ]

What are you saying, Wesley?
That Angel has nothing
to look forward to?

That he's going
to go on forever
the same in the world...

but always cut off from it?

- Yes.
- Well, that sucks.

We've got to do something.
We've got to help him.

I'm not sure we can.

What is your deal?
You go around boring everyone
with your musty scrolls,

and then you say
there's nothing we can do?

He is what he is.
He's Angel.

He's good,
and he helps the helpless.
And now, he's one of them.

He's gonna have to start
wanting things from life
whether he wants to or not.

Morning.
[ Cordelia ]
Morning.

- Want some coffee?
- No, thanks.

How about a donut?

Chocolate?
No.

Creamy fillings?
No, I don't want anything.

- [ Groans ]
- Am I supposed to know
what this is about?

We were just discussing
how you don't...

want that many things.
You're cut off
from life.

But don't worry,
I'm gonna help you
with that.

- Oh, good.
- We'll start small,
keep it simple.

How would you like a puppy?

Right. A ficus?
They're low maintenance.

Ant farm?
I have to go.

Where are you going?
Rare book shops.

I need references
to translate the prophecy.

Probably not a good idea
to take the scroll with me.

No, I'll lock it up downstairs
in the weapons cabinet.

Angel, I hope I'm wrong
about all this,

but it might be a good time
to consult the Oracles.

I don't need to see
the Oracles about this.

Well, think about it.

Oracles.

Get out of the house.
Could be fun.

How dare you enter
this sacred space!
Who do you think you are?

We do not appreciate
being summoned
by a lower being--

Who knows no better
than to come here on a whim.

I am not here on a whim.

We do not counsel
your kind.

The powers of darkness are not
allowed to cross this threshold.
How did you get in?

The old order passes away,
and the new order is come.

He that was first shall now
be last, and he
that was dead shall now arise.

Yes,
and he that is trespassing
shall now depart.

We shall speak no more.

Yes, I know.

* She laughed at all my jokes
and told a few as well *

* But the devil
he can't touch me *

* 'Cause brick by brick
I'm building my own hell *

Do you paint?
Oh, no.

I was just looking
for something for a friend.

I thought maybe
if he had a hobby--

He's a little detached
from things.

Well, they say art's
the best therapy for that.

Really?
Sure. They use it in mental
institutions all the time.

You get the patients drawing
and working with clay.
Helps them get back in touch.

Well, he's not crazy
or anything.
He's... just different.

Depressed.
Well, he wears
a lot of black.

How much are these pastels?
Oh, those are on special.

You get the entire set--
the large one...

and some drawing paper
and a little pop-up easel.

I think you have
everything he'll need,
and then some.

You made my day.
Thanks.
You're welcome.

He must be
a really good friend.
Yeah. Thank you.

Take care.
Bye.

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming Continues ]

[ Screaming, Sobbing ]

I need some help!
Call 911!

[ Telephone Ringing ]

Hello?

Yeah. What happened to her?
I'm her employer.

She doesn't have
any family in town.
What happened?

I'm on my way.

[ Object Beeping ]

I'm looking for
Cordelia Chase.

She's--
The doctor is with her.
[ Cordelia Screaming ]

If you'll just
have a seat over there.

Wait! You have to let
the doctor handle this!

Try another five mils
of Ativan.
[ Screaming ]

You can't be in here.
Are you family?
What happened? Yes.

They brought her in
a few hours ago.
I'm not sure what happened.

- Does she have any history
of mental illness?
- No.

Does she use drugs? She's
having a psychotic episode.
No.

We've done a CAT scan.
There's no organic damage
that we can see,

but we can't seem
to sedate her.

Cordelia, can you hear me?

Cordelia!
[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming Continues ]

We're trying a number of
different drug therapies.
Does she have allergies?

- I don't think so.
Drugs won't help her.
- Well, something better.

I need to inform you,
if we don't find a way
to stop it--

[ Faint Beeping ]

[ Beeping Intensifies ]

[ Car Alarms Wailing ]

[ Angel ]
Wesley! Wesley!

Wesley!

Wes!

Wes!

Wes.
Wesley.

[ Siren Approaching ]

[ Chattering, Shouting ]

Never a dull moment
when you're around,
is there?

I have to go.
Who the hell
do you think you are?

You're a major witness
at a major crime scene.
You're not going anywhere.

You want to try and stop me?
I'm glad we're not
playing friends anymore.

And I'm real sick and tired
of your attitude.
There's a thing called the law.

This isn't about the law.
This is about
a little thing called life.

Now I'm sorry about your father,
but I didn't kill your father
and I'm sick and tired...

of you blaming me for
everything you can't handle.

You want to be enemies?
Try me.

[ Monitor Beeping ]
Clear.

Okay, I got him back.

Cordelia...

I'm gonna fix this.

I promise.

I'm gonna get you back.

I need you back.

I come before the Oracles
for guidance and direction.

I beseech access
to the knowing ones.

It's unfortunate.

Things are unraveling.

The dark ones
broach our temples now.
Can you help me?

I can't stay long.
I've been dead a while.

So far I don't like it.

But my friend
who gets the visions--
Is in trouble.

It's his mark,
the one who did this.
Who? Who did this?

Vocah,
Warrior of the Underworld.

He wants you weak,

so he opened her mind
to all the ones who cry out
in pain and need.

- She doesn't have long either.
- How can I stop it?

The sacred scroll of Aberjian
is now in Vocah's possession.
The scroll is what you need.

Wait.
Find the scroll.

The words of Anatole.
Only they can remove the mark
and save your friend.

Tell me where to find him,
and I'll repay him
for what he did here.

He is here for the raising.
The raising?

Like so many of them,
he hides behind man's law.

Stop him.

I will.

[ Man ]
Good. A lot of hungry people
are gonna appreciate this.

You're doing God's work here.

If God was a busboy,
he'd look just like you, Jesus.

Toss it up, brother.
All right.
[ Tires Screeching ]

Yo, yo!
Heads up!

Put 'em down.
I know this fool.

That was entertaining.
What you got under that hood?
I need your help.

Yeah, well, I figured
you didn't roar in here
to ask me after my health.

It's pretty good, by the way.

You gettin' enough iron?
You look a little pale.

Okay, it's traditional
in the human world
to humor people...

who've done favors for you
in the past.

You're about to do
another one.

If it's tossing a vampire
in with them lawyers,
I'm in,

'cause that was my idea
of a good time.

My people,
they're in the hospital.
Saint Matthews.

One's in I.C.U.,
one's in
the neuro-psychiatric unit.

They need protection
while I hunt down the guy
who put 'em there.

He gonna come for 'em himself
or send someone?

However he comes,
he's not gonna get 'em.

These people mean
a lot to me.

I'm gettin' that.

[ Growls ]

[ Together ]
We have prepared a holy place
in the darkness...

and anointed it with oil.

We have taken of
the blood of the living...

and gathered together
the living dead.

As it was written,
they shall prepare the way,

and the very gates of hell
shall open.

That which is above
shall tremble,

for that which is below
shall arise.

And the world
shall know the beast,

and the beast
shall know the world.

Aren't we going to be late?
You never want to be
on time for a ritual.

The chanting,
the blood rites--
they go on forever.

You guys follow us.

I know you've covered
all the bases here.
Yes, sir.

Senior partners are keeping
a close watch on this.

We don't want
to let them down.
We won't.

Remember when Robert Price let
the senior partners down, and
they made him eat his liver?

I don't know what
made me think of that.

Five are without breath.
[ Together ]
Yet they live.

- Five are without time.
- Yet they live.

- Five are without soul.
- Yet they live.

They haven't even gotten
to the Latin yet.

- Five are without sun.
- Yet they live.

What is it?
I don't know.

Lindsey?

Five are dead.

- Say it!
- Yet they live.

[ Speaking Latin ]

Get the movers in here.
Yes, sir.

[ Continues In
Latin ]

[ Rumbling ]

Get it out of here.

Let's go!

Nice.

Lindsey, give me the scroll.

That's not gonna happen.
It belongs to us.

Us? You put your faith
in Wolfram and Hart?

- You said I had
to make a choice.
- And you did.

Yeah. I had a crisis,
and I wanna thank you
for your help with that.

But I'm seeing things
more clearly now.

You don't see anything.
You don't know what faith is.

I see that
what happened here tonight
was foretold,

and that doesn't
bode well for you.

I see that you're either
the one with the power...

or you're powerless.
Uh-huh.

Do you see what I'm gonna
do to you if you don't
give me that scroll?

You need the words of Anatole
to cure your friend.

She's your connection
to the Powers That Be.

And since it's foretold...

that we sever
all your connections, well--

[ Screams ]

[ Groaning ]

Don't believe everything
you're foretold.

[ Wesley ]
"And if the beast shalt
find thee and touch thee,

"thou shalt be wounded
in thy soul.

"And thou shalt know madness.

"The beast shalt attack
and cripple thee,

"and thou shalt know
neither friend nor family...

"but thou shalt undo the beast.

"Thou shalt find
the sacred words of Anatole,

"and thou shalt be restored.

"Three times shalt thou
say these words:

Unbind, unbind, unbind."

[ Groans ]

[ Chuckles ]
Hey.

Angel.

Welcome back.

I'll get Dr. Evans.

I saw them all,

and they're in so much pain.

We have to help them.

We will.

We will.

Here's something.
What is it?

The beast of Amalfie.

A razor-toothed,
six-eyed harbinger of death.

No, wait.
That's due to rise
in 2003 in Reseda.

I would've guessed Tarzana.

Better cross-reference that.

I'm sorry I don't know
what they raised in that box.

- I'll keep looking.
- You've been looking
for two days.

You need to relax
and charge the brain cells.

Here, eat.

You too.

Don't be embarrassed.
We're family.

What?

Well, it's just I--
I'm not used to--

He's not used
to the new you.

I know what's out there now.

We have a lot of evil to fight,
a lot of people to help.

I just hope skin and bones here
can figure out
what those lawyers raised...

sometime before
that prophecy kicks in
and you croak.

- That was the old me,
wasn't it?
- I like them both.

Uh-- Oops.

I may have made
a tiny mistake.

The word "shanshu" that I said
meant you were going to die--

Actually, I think it means
you're going to live.

Okay, as tiny mistakes go,
that's not one.

Shanshu has roots in
so many different languages.

The most ancient source
is the Proto-Bantu,

and they consider
life and death the same thing.

It's part of a cycle.

Only a thing that's not alive
never dies.

It's-- It's saying that
you get to live until you die.

It's saying--
It's saying you become human.

That's the prophecy?

The vampire with a soul,
once he fulfills his destiny...

will shanshu--
become human.

- It's his reward.
- Wow.

Angel, human.

That'd be nice.
[ Cordelia ]
Wait.

What's that thing about
him having to fulfill
his destiny first?

Well, it's saying that
it won't happen tomorrow
or the next day.

He has to survive
the coming darkness,
the apocalyptic battles,

a few plagues and some--

several, not that many,

fiends that will be
unleashed upon the world.

So don't break out
the champagne just yet.

Oh, yeah,
break out the champagne,
Pinocchio.

This is a big deal.

I guess it is.

Typical. I hook up
with the only person
in history...

who ever came to L.A.
to get older.

The senior partners
were very impressed
with your sacrifice.

Trust me, we'll even
the score with him.

Yes, we will.

[ Voice Quivering ]
Beginning with
what's in that box.

We're all very pleased
you're here.

I know it's a bit confusing,

but it's gonna be
better soon.

A lot better...

Darla.

Grr! Arrgh!
