(Darla takes off her cross necklace. She looks at her reflection. She puts red lipstick on and wipes it off. There's a knock. The door opens with a key. Lindsey pays the Motel manager off.)

LINDSEY: You're a hard one to find.

(...)

LINDSEY: Thanks for coming in.

DARLA: Did I ever have a choice?

HOLLAND: (entering) Of course. We would never force you to do anything against your will, Darla.

DARLA: It wasn't my will to be here in the first place. I never asked for this life.

HOLLAND: Well, no one ever does. God doesn't give us a say in these matters.

DARLA: God wasn't the one who brought me back.

HOLLAND: True.

DARLA: So, what do you want me to do for you now? Go back to him? It won't matter even if I did. There is nothing between us anymore.

HOLLAND: You misunderstand. We didn't invite you here to discuss Angel.

LINDSEY: This is about you.

HOLLAND: You are not our prisoner, Darla. - You are, however our *moral* responsibility. (He hands her the files in his hand.) No doubt you remember very little of your first few weeks with us. - No one ever really remembers their first days of life, but that's when these were initiated.

DARLA: (to Lindsey) Did-did you know anything about this?

(Lindsey just looks at her.)

HOLLAND: Now, we're prepared to deal with this situation anyway you see fit. - It's up to you. - We just thought you should know.
