Wes: That strange wild girl saved us from Angel. from Through The Looking Glass (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
GUNN: We're lost.
WESLEY: Nonsense. I've been following the sun. We're headed due west, back toward the village.
GUNN: Which one?
WESLEY: Which village?
GUNN: Which sun? There're two of them. Alternate dimension? We're lost.
(Wesley stops and holds up a hand for silence.)
GUNN: You're having a Blair witch moment?
WESLEY: Something's hunting us.
(Gunn smoothly slides in to stand back to back with Wes.)
GUNN: Palace guards?
WESLEY: I don't know.
(The Angel-beast attacks them.)
GUNN: What the hell is it?
(Wesley stumbles, the beast threatens him, Gunn throws rocks.)
GUNN: Come on! Come on!
(The Angel-beast turns and Wes spots Angel's tattoo showing briefly through a rip in his clothing.)
WESLEY: It's Angel!
(Gunn glances at Wes and the beast leaps, knocking him to the ground. Gunn is straining to hold the Angel-beast off far enough to keep out of the reach of its fangs.)
WESLEY: Angel! Can you hear me? Angel! Angel?
(Fred appears and lures the Angel-beast off.)
WESLEY: (to Gunn, who is scratched) Oh, you're hurt.
GUNN: What the hell just happened?
WESLEY: That strange wild girl saved us - from Angel.
GUNN: Something very freaky is going on here.
WESLEY: I have a suspicion I may know what. Angel's vampire-self has been sublimated somehow by this dimension. (He picks up a handful of wet mud and gets ready to smear it over Gunn's scratches. Gunn holds up a hand.) It's okay. (Gunn lets him pack the scratches with mud.) Only his human side has surfaced since we've been here...
GUNN: You mean being able to walk around in the sun, seeing his reflection, like that?
WESLEY: Yes. And now, for whatever reason he's accessed his demon, but he can't find the balance he normally would in our world. His demon-self has totally overcome his human side.
GUNN: So that's what the thing inside of him really looks like?
WESLEY: In its purest form.
GUNN: That's nasty.
WESLEY: Can you walk?
GUNN: Yeah.
WESLEY: We've got to help him. You alright?
GUNN: Yeah.
(Then ragged humans surround them.)
GUNN: Oh, good. More fun.
(Fred has lured the Angel-beast to her cave. There, it follows her till it comes to the little pool. It sees its monstrous reflection, groans, morphs back into Angel.)
