Wesley vivisects & Cordelia tails from The Prodigal (Season 1) | Next Clip in Episode |
WESLEY: Well, the vivisection confirms it. This is most certainly a Kwaini.
ANGEL: So the species has evolved. It’s become violent.
WESLEY: No, I don’t think so. My tests detected something else.
ANGEL: What is it?
(holding a largish internal organ up with tongs)
WESLEY: Think of it as the creature's adrenal gland. Normally it would be the size of a walnut.
ANGEL: What happened to it?
WESLEY: I believe the inflammation was caused by this substance. (Hold up a little bottle) I found traces of it through out the Kwaini’s system.
ANGEL: Any idea what it is?
WESLEY: Well, it’s difficult to say under these primitive conditions...But what I *can* tell you is: It’s synthetic. And it seems to contain properties not unlike street PCP, though more metaphysical in nature, of course. I did identify Eye of Newt as one of the ingredients, but one suspects added chiefly for taste, rather than kick.
ANGEL: So, you’re saying that the thing was on drugs.
WESLEY: Yes.
ANGEL: And that’s why it attacked the subway train. The delivery guy was probably carrying it.
WESLEY: I think it would be a fair intuitive leap to assume that the Kwaini was jonesing to get well. Yes.
ANGEL: So not only did this stuff turn the Kwaini violent, it enhanced its innate strength.
WESLEY: Times 20, I would say.
ANGEL: Hmm. What would happen if this drug were given to an already powerful battle-demon?
WESLEY: I shudder to think.
(Cordy comes down the stairs wearing a short blond wig and sunglasses. )
CORDELIA: Hey guys? Security system, remember? What's the point of having it if you never turn it on? I could have been anyone or anything! (Motions to the stuff on the table) Move your... entrails.
ANGEL: So, you’re back.
CORDELIA: Very good Mr. I-can’t-tail-the-suspect-during-the-day-because-I’ll-burst-into-flames Private Eye.
ANGEL: What did you find out?
CORDELIA: First off, I *hate* following detail.
WESLEY: The voyeuristic aspect is rather unseemly.
CORDELIA: Uh, can I mention traffic? And parking? Or the complete lack of it?
ANGEL: Not like in the movies, is it?
CORDELIA: No! But fortunately *I* am. (Flips the screen out on the camcorder she is holding and shows them a row of still shots) So it turns out delivery guy really is a delivery guy.
ANGEL: None of this looks like the package I saw him pick up from Kate’s father.
CORDELIA: But this is where he spent his lunch and he was in there for like ever. I don’t know what they were serving, but sure are a lot of leftovers in here, huh?
ANGEL: That’s it. That’s the source. That’s where it’s all coming from.
