The Girl In the White Room to Angel: But you don't want his essence in a jar. You want someone you can sink your teeth into. from Forgiving (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
LILAH: Kidnapping Linwood, you're really steppin' up to it. And the white room... I mean, they don't just talk about it. God, the white room. I was here three years before I even heard of it. Did he tell you what was in it?
ANGEL: Answers.
(They arrive at an elevator.)
ANGEL: Up or down?
LILAH: Up.
(they enter the elevator)
LILAH: He tell you how to... get there?
(Angel pulls out a piece of paper, follows instructions written on it. He punches quite a long series of numbers into the control panel)
LILAH: There was this guy in litigation went to the white room in September. He's in an asylum now...
(a blank white button appears)
LILAH: Wow. (re: instructions) I should probably hold onto --
(Angel puts the instructions back in his pocket, and punches the white button. It lights up. And nothing happens. Lilah and Angel wait. Then the elevator suddenly radiates into a blinding WHITENESS (CGI) that swallows them up. When the white fades, they're in an endless white warehouse sort of place)
GIRLL Hello...
(a creepy little girl sits in a chair)
GIRL: Angel. Lilah.
(She sees Lilah's bright red fingernail polish. )
GIRL: Your fingernails are pretty. I love red. (to Angel) You have a taste for red too. And revenge. I know, it's so much more fun than forgiveness. So, what's up?
ANGEL: A demon named SahJhan has taken my son.
GIRL: Ahhhh, does he want his little baby back?
(Angel's buttons are pushed... Lilah restrains him)
LILAH: Oh god, don't.
GIRL: Baby's gone. You want SahJhan. He's a Granok, nowadays you can walk right through 'em, but in the past they were something else...
(flash to another demon of Sajhahn's race, wreaking mayhem in some distant past)
GIRL: They were all about torture and death. (to Angel) You can relate. Well, they caused a lot of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I like trouble -- but I hate chaos. So we changed 'em.
ANGEL: You made them immaterial.
GIRL: Smart boy.
(flash to that same demon, now incapable of hacking anyone to pieces)
GIRL: Now they watch. And they can no longer touch.
ANGEL: How do you capture them?
GIRL: Well, there's your special urn...
(flash to some priests with an urn that sucks the incorporeal demon into it)
GIRL: But you don't want his essence in a jar. You want someone you can sink your teeth into.
LILAH: That's a yes.
GIRL: You know these things always come with a price. (to Angel re: Lilah) Kill her.
(Angel grabs Lilah, about to do it)
GIRL: (laughing) That's good for now. I can see why they respect you.
(Angel lets go of Lilah.)
GIRL: Now, your demon made flesh. Big ritual, it's all here.
(She holds out her hand. A folded piece of paper on it. As Angel reaches for paper it's suddenly in his hand. )
GIRL: Can't wait to see how it turns out. You have a web site?
(Angel and Lilah are again engulfed in white. And then everything goes white)
