GUNN: I'm only gonna say this once. The guys you send to create those diversions are gonna die.

WESLEY: Yes they are. You try not to get anybody killed you wind up getting everybody killed. (To the camp) Get ready to move out.

ANGEL: What do you want me to do?

WESLEY: Go to the village. Call out the groosalug - and kill him.

ANGEL: Kill their undefeated champion. - I can't do that without turning into the beast.

WESLEY: I know.

ANGEL: Look, when I fired you guys the reason I... Darkness was coming out in me. I didn't want you near it. - The thing that comes out here is ten times worse. - Wes. - I do this - you know I won't come back from it.

WESLEY: Yes, you will. I know you. (Glances over at Gunn) We know you. We know you're a man with a demon inside - not the other way around. *We* know you have the strength to do what needs to be done, and you will come back to us.

(Angel and Wes look at each other for a long moment.)

FRED: I could go with you. I know how to prepare the challenge torch.

WESLEY: (Puts hand on Angel's shoulder) You'll come back.

(Angel looks over at Gunn, whose face remains expressionless, then he and Fred leave.)

GUNN: You really think he'll come back?

WESLEY: I need *him* to think it.

(Gunn stares after Wesley.)
