Original subtitles

I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE CHEAP TRASH BAGS.

THEY LEAK AND BREAK AND END UP COSTING US MORE.

I BELIEVE IT.

YEAH. IT WAS A GREAT AUDITION.

I WAS ALL ABOUT THINGS LEAKING.

HOW COULD THEY NOT PICK ME?

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MISSED.

THEY GAVE IT TO A BLONDE WHO SHOWED UP[TELEPHONE RINGING]

IN A SKINTIGHT LEATHER CAT SUIT.

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A HOUSEWIFE.

SHE LOOKED RIDICULOUS.

SHE LOOKED LIKE CATWOMAN TAKING OUT THE CAT-TRASH.

[RING]

ARE YOU GONNA ANSWER THE PHONE?

GOOD QUESTION.

OH, YEAH, RIGHT.

Machine: ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS.

WE HELP THE HOPELESS. IF THAT'S YOU, LEAVE A MESSAGE.

Woman: HEY, CORDY, IT'S AURA.

JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN, SEE HOW YOU WERE DOING.

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT IS GOING ON IN SUNNYDALE.

PATRICIA HAS... [VOLUME TURNED LOW]

YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HER?

UM, NOT JUST YET.

SHE'S JUST GONNA ASK ME ABOUT WHERE I'M LIVING

AND HOW THE ACTING IS GOING,

AND I'M JUST NOT UP FOR LEADING THE PARADE OF PAIN.

I'LL DO IT WHEN THINGS ARE BETTER.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HELP WITH THE ACTING,

BUT ABOUT THE APARTMENT--

WHAT?

WELL, IF YOU EVER WANTED TO, YOU KNOW,

SPEND ONE NIGHT AWAY FROM THE PLACE,

MAYBE GIVE ME A CALL.

WELL, STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.

NO, WAIT, THEY REALLY HAVEN'T.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE, ANGEL. I'M TAKING OFF.

SHE'S REALLY SOMETHING, ISN'T SHE?

IT'S LIKE WRESTLING A TIGER JUST TO GET TO KNOW HER.

TELL ME STUFF.

WHAT STUFF?

ABOUT CORDELIA.

WELL, I KNOW SHE CAN'T TYPE OR FILE.

UNTIL TODAY I HAD SOME HOPE REGARDING THE PHONE.

WHO'S AURA?

OH, SHE'S, UH, I THINK SHE'S ONE OF CORDELIA'S GROUP.

PEOPLE CALLED THEM THE CORDETTES.

A BUNCH OF GIRLS FROM WEALTHY FAMILIES.

THEY RULED THE HIGH SCHOOL. DECIDED WHAT WAS IN, WHO WAS POPULAR.

IT WAS LIKE THE SOVIET SECRET POLICE

IF THEY CARED A LOT ABOUT SHOES.

AND SHE WAS THE RICHEST ONE OF ALL?

'CAUSE THE WAY SHE TALKS

IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAD SERVANTS

MADE OF SOLID GOLD OR SOMETHING.

PRETTY MUCH, UNTIL HER PARENTS LOST IT ALL.

RICHES TO RAGS.

ONE HELL OF A COMEDOWN.

YEAH. BUT SHE'S DOING ALL RIGHT.

OUCH! DAMN IT.

[GASPS] OH!

YEAH, WELL, OF COURSE.

[GROANS]

HELLO. HI, THIS IS CORDELIA CHASE FROM APARTMENT 4B.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE

THE EXTERMINATOR IN HERE TODAY.

WELL, IF HE HAD, DON'T YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE--

[GASPS] OH, MY GOD! AAAH!

OH, MY.

DOYLE. DOYLE, DOYLE.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO, DOYLE.

I THINK YOU HAVE THE WRONG PLACE.

YOU OWE MONEY.

AH, IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY.

WHAT ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND FAMILY AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PRICELESS

LIKE THEY SAY IN THAT CREDIT CARD COMMERCIAL?

OH, YEAH, RIGHT.

YOU'RE, UH, A DEMON OF FOCUS. I CAN SEE THAT.

I HAVE YOUR MONEY RIGHT OVER HERE.

[GROANS]

YOU'RE NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO HAVE A GUN IN THERE, RIGHT?

ME? NO WAY, MAN. LOOK!

[GROWLS]

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

OH, GOD, ANGEL.

IT'S SO TERRIBLE. OH, MY GOSH.

DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.

I AM SUCH A MESS.

I AM THE LOWEST OF THE LOWEST,

AND YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO GET MY OTHER SUITCASE

OUT IN THE HALL THERE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

MY APARTMENT.

IT'S LIKE THE BARRIO OR--OR THE PROJECTS OR WHATEVER.

AND I LIVE THERE. I AM A GIRL FROM THE PROJECTS.

WHAT? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

GET THIS. I TRIED TO CALL DOYLE.

I HAVE SUNK THAT LOW.

AND THERE WAS NO ANSWER, SO HERE I AM.

NOT THAT YOU WERE THE LAST RESORT,

IT'S JUST THAT I HAD NOWHERE ELSE LEFT TO GO.

ROACHES. [SIGH] LIVE ONES, DEAD ONES.

ALL SKINNY FEET AND CREEPY ANTLERS.

ANTLERS?

OH, MY GOD, I WONDER HOW MANY STOWED AWAY IN THAT BAG?

ALSO, THE WATER IS ALL BROWN AND SPURTY AND NOT HOT.

I AM DYING FOR A SHOWER.

I ACTUALLY SMELL.

SMELL ME!

I NEVER SMELL.

I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD.

I'M JUST GONNA HAVE TO STAY HERE

UNTIL I FIND A DECENT PLACE,

HOWEVER LONG THAT TAKES.

AND WHEN I DO, YOU'RE COMPLETELY INVITED OVER.

HEY, YOU CAN JUST DUMP MY STUFF ON YOUR COUCH

OR LET ME HAVE THE BED,

WHATEVER YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT.

ALSO, MY SUITCASE IS STILL OUT IN THE HALL.

YOUR SHOWER'S IN HERE, RIGHT?

YOU HAVE MOUSSE?

OF COURSE YOU DO.

ANGEL, YOU AROUND?

HEY, DOYLE.

YOU EVER GET THAT FEELING

LIKE YOU JUST CAN'T SHOWER ENOUGH?

LIKE SOMETHING HAPPENED

AND YOU'LL NEVER BE CLEANED?

WHAT?

YOU GOT PEANUT BUTTER ON THE BED.

REALLY?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I'LL LOOK.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

ANGEL, MAN, HOW COULD YOU?

HOW WHAT?

COME ON, YOU KNOW I WAS CRAZY ABOUT HER,

AND I WAS WEARING HER DOWN, TOO.

BUT NO, HANDSOME BROODING VAMPIRE GUY HAS TO SWOOP IN,

ALL SENSITIVE MOUTH AND OVERHANGING FOREHEAD.

HOW ABOUT LEAVING SOME SCRAPS

FOR THE HOMELY LOOKING FELLAS

WHO DON'T TURN EVIL WHEN THEY GET SOME?

CORDELIA STAYED OVER 'CAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER PLACE.

I WAS ON THE SOFA.

OH.

THAT'S OK, I SUPPOSE.

ANGEL, AT SOME POINT IN RECENT HISTORY,

YOU GOT PEANUT BUTTER ON THE BED, AND IT'S GROSS.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR SHEETS.

I DON'T EAT.

WELL, THEN, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE.

HEY, CORDY, YOU'RE LOOKING GREAT, BY THE WAY.

I WOULDN'T KNOW. MAN DOESN'T HAVE A MIRROR.

LIKE IT'D KILL HIM TO NOT SEE HIMSELF?

[LAUGHS]

LISTEN, I WAS WONDERING IF, UH, ANYBODY CALLED LATELY?

MAYBE ASKING ABOUT ME OR MAYBE WANT MY ADDRESS?

OH, YEAH. YESTERDAY YOUR COUSIN CALLED,

WITH ONE OF THOSE NAMES FROM YOUR PART OF ENGLAND.

MY PART OF ENGLAND?

CONNOR OR FERGUS. DID HE FIND YOU?

YEAH. HE DID, ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, BUT, SEE, A LITTLE, UH, WARNING MIGHT HAVE BEEN NICE.

GIVE A FELLA A CHANCE TO NEAT THE PLACE UP, YOU KNOW?

JEEZ, I ONLY HELPED THE GUY AS A FAVOR TO YOU.

MAYBE NEXT TIME I WON'T BOTHER.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU EVEN HAVE TO PICK UP THE PHONE.

YOU JUST LET YOUR FRIEND AURA HANG THERE.

OK, HERE'S AN IDEA.

HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE ME A LIST

OF PEOPLE YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO TALK TO.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING, JUST--

YOU GOT A BRUISE ON YOUR HAND.

BADMINTON.

AND THE REASON THERE'S A WET TOWEL ON MY LEATHER CHAIR?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I JUST, UM, I JUST WANTED TO SEE

IF HE HAD HARDWOOD FLOORS UNDER HERE, YOU KNOW.

I MIGHT BE HERE A WHILE.

OH, WELL, THE THINGS YOU LEARN.

I HAD NO IDEA ANGEL WAS QUEEN OF THE WINTER BALL.

THOSE ARE MINE.

[GROANS] TOUGH STUFF.

HEY, YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA IS ALL BURNED.

YEAH. IT WAS A ROUGH CEREMONY.

[SIGH] YEP. THERE IT IS.

MY WHOLE LIFE, PRE-HERE.

5 TROPHIES WITH SOME OF THE SHINY WORN OFF.

THAT'S GOOD, THOUGH, YOU CAN LOOK BACK.

I NEVER LOOK BACK.

LOOK BACK AT WHAT?

Angel: DOYLE...

YOU DOWN HERE?

THERE YOU ARE.

THERE'S A BIG GUY HERE TO SEE YOU.

I'LL TELL HIM YOU'LL BE RIGHT UP.

OK, GREAT.

YOU KNOW IT'S NOT NICE TO TRICK PEOPLE.

YOU GONNA TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS DEMON'S COLLECTING FOR?

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, HERE'S HOW IT WORKS.

I OWE SOME PEOPLE, OTHER PEOPLE OWE ME.

I DO A FAVOR FOR SOME GUY, AND THE DEBT GOES AWAY.

IT'S A SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES.

AND SOME OF YOUR CHECKS DIDN'T BALANCE.

WELL, IT'LL WORK OUT.

IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE DIPLOMACY,

THE KIND OF THING YOU'RE SO GOOD AT, ACTUALLY.

SAY, MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T MIND TAKING A CRACK AT IT?

WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS. IT'S ABOUT PRIORITIES,

AND AT THE MOMENT, I HAVE A BIGGER ONE THAN YOU DO.

BIGGER THAN A KAILIFF DEMON?

MUCH.

I'M THINKING YOU COULD HELP ME WITH MINE,

AND MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU WITH YOURS.

I DON'T KNOW, MAN.

I MEAN, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, EXACTLY?

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, VAMPIRE BUSINESS IS--

[CORDELIA CLEARS THROAT]

HI.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY LINOLEUM GLUE?

FOR IF IT STARTED CURLING UP ALL OVER?

I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE.

OK.

FIND HER AN APARTMENT,

AND I'LL DEAL WITH YOUR DEMON.

YOU KNOW, I WISH YOU'D JUST LET ME CALL MY GUY.

I'M NOT GETTING AN APARTMENT THROUGH "SOME GUY."

HE PROBABLY JUDGES THE PROPERTY VALUE

ON HOW FAR THE BUS RIDE IS TO THE TRACK.

WELL, IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN THIS, CAN IT?

YOU CAN'T TELL ANYTHING FROM A HALLWAY.

HEY, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I SMELL IN HERE?

POTENTIAL.

THE NEXT ONE WILL BE BETTER.

IT'S LIKE A COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW?

UH, WE SHARE ALL THE UPKEEP AND CHORES.

AND MY URINATION JUST HASN'T BEEN PUBLIC ENOUGH LATELY.

OH, WE DON'T BELIEVE IN BARRIERS.

IT'S THE FIRST RULE OF THE GREAT LEADER.

UH, YOU CAN COME TO THE MEETINGS IF YOU WANT.

EVERY MORNING AT 5:00.

OK, THAT'S JUST A TOUCH TOO EARLY FOR ME.

OH, YOU'LL BE UP.

THE CHANTING STARTS AT 4:00.

SO, UM, YOU'RE A SINGLE GAL?

GONNA BE LIVING HERE ALONE?

'CAUSE I'M RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL

AND YOU CAN SLEEP EASY KNOWING

I'M THE ONLY OTHER SOUL IN THE WORLD

WITH A KEY TO THAT DOOR.

YOU THINK ABOUT THAT WHILE YOU LOOK, OK?

OK, JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY,

YOU SAY YOU KNOW A GUY?

FINALLY.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND ANGEL?

YOU'VE GOTTA DO EVERYTHING THE HARD WAY.

OH, MY GOSH, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL?

NO, NEVER.

IT'S PERFECT.

REALLY, REALLY, IT'S JUST PERFECT.

IT'S AMAZING IN THERE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

THE PREVIOUS TENANT JUST BROKE THEIR LEASE LAST WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT.

IT'S QUITE A BARGAIN.

AND THE FURNITURE COMES WITH.

DO YOU THINK YOU WANT IT?

I--I USED TO HAVE THIS. I--I WAS--

I GUESS IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY.

I USED TO HAVE THOSE, TOO.

SHE'LL TAKE IT.

I'LL FILL OUT THE RENTAL FORMS.

FIRST THING, I HIRE SOMEONE TO TAKE OUT THAT WALL.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS PERFECT.

YES! AND PART OF IT BEING PERFECT

IS THERE BEING ONE TINY FLAW FOR ME TO FIX.

AH, MUST BE WHY YOU FIND ME SO FASCINATING.

[LAUGHS] OH, MY GOSH, I LOVE MY APARTMENT.

YOUR GUY FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE. I LOVE YOUR GUY.

YEAH, WELL, PRETTY GOOD DAY'S WORK FOR US, I THINK.

I TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEM, ANGEL TAKES CARE OF MINE.

ALL IN ALL, THINGS ARE PRETTY SWEET.

[SIGHS] YES!

I CAN MOVE RIGHT IN.

MY NAME IS ANGEL. WHAT'S YOURS?

SCREW YOU.

MY NAME IS ANGEL. WHAT'S YOURS?

[GROWLING]

GRIFF.

GOOD START. WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

HE NEVER GAVE ME HIS CARD.

I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME. HE GETS HIS ORDERS TO ME.

YOU CAN GET A MESSAGE BACK TO HIM?

YEAH.

YOU'RE LETTING ME GO?

NO, I'M LETTING YOU UP.

YOU WERE SENT TO COLLECT FOR DOYLE?

AT FIRST.

BUT I'M NOT SEEING ANY MONEY.

SO NOW DOYLE GETS DEAD.

A MESSAGE FOR THE OTHERS.

AND YOUR BOSS NEVER GETS HIS MONEY.

THAT'S A PRETTY EXPENSIVE MESSAGE

WHEN YOU ADD WHATEVER HE'S PAYING YOU TO DO THE JOB.

MY FEES ARE VERY COMPETITIVE.

I CAN GET DOYLE TO PAY YOU THE MONEY.

YOU HAVE MY GUARANTEE.

I SAW WHAT I SAW, RIGHT?

YOU'RE A VAMPIRE.

HOW COME YOU'RE HELPING SOME LITTLE DEMON HALF-BREED?

IT'S A GOOD OFFER. YOU SHOULD TAKE IT.

ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU'RE MAKING ME WANT TO FIGHT SOME MORE.

YOU GET LUCKY, YOU MIGHT LAST 10 MINUTES.

REALLY LUCKY AND YOU'RE UNCONSCIOUS FOR THE LAST 5.

YOU GET DOYLE TO PAY, AND HE'S SAFE.

THANKS.

GOOD MEETING.

[MUSIC ON RADIO]

[WHISPERING] What do you think you're doing here?

You never should have come.

I HAVE TO PAY?

MAN, I SHOULD HAVE JUST HANDLED THIS MYSELF.

I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.

AND YOU CAN'T GET BLOOD OUT OF A STONE.

THEY CAN GET BLOOD OUT OF YOU.

THERE'S A PRICE ON YOUR HEAD, DOYLE.

THEY WEREN'T EVEN LOOKING FOR MONEY ANYMORE.

THANKS, MAN. YOU PROBABLY SAVED MY LIFE.

CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?

WHY DO YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?

WELL, WHY NOT LIVE LIKE THIS?

I MEAN, WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

YEAH, WELL, I GUESS IT'S THE KIND OF LIFE

THAT KEEPS YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM GETTING TOO HIGH.

SEEMS LIKE YOU'D UNDERSTAND THAT.

I DO.YEAH.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU.

THIS KIND OF LIFE SORT OF PICKED ME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY.

WHAT HAPPENED?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, OK?

AND THINGS AREN'T ALL GLOOM IN DOYLE CITY.

I MEAN, THERE'S BRIGHT SPOTS. LIKE CORDELIA.

SHE LOVES THAT NEW PLACE SO MUCH, MAN.

SHE'S GONNA BE GRATEFUL FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[BUBBLING]

[GASPS]

OHH...

I KNEW THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I JUST KNEW IT!

I'M FROM SUNNYDALE. YOU'RE NOT SCARING ME, YOU KNOW.

YOU'RE NOT SCARING ME.

NO. YOU'RE NOT SCARING ME.

NOT ONE BIT.

[GASPS]

BRIGHT SHINY MORNING.

NOTHING BAD HERE.

OH, GOD.

AAAAH! AAAH!

YOU KNOW WHAT? I GET IT.

YOU'RE A GHOST, YOU'RE DEAD.

BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT. MOVE ON!

YOU SEE A LIGHT ANYWHERE? GO TOWARDS IT, OK?

OOOH! COLD WIND. SCARY!

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, CHAP ME TO DEATH?

WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT?

[KNOCKS AT DOOR]

Angel: CORDELIA, YOU IN THERE?

CORDELIA!

CACTUS. HOUSEWARMING PRESENT.

UM, HI. THANKS.

LOOK, I'M STILL GETTING IT JUST THE WAY I WANT IT.

MAYBE IN A DAY OR 2, OK?

THE PLACE LOOKS GREAT. YOU WORRY TOO MUCH.

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAD AGAINST THAT CHAIR, THOUGH.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN'T COME IN.

WAIT! WHAT ABOUT THE RULE?

YOU SAID WHEN YOU GOT A PLACE

I WAS COMPLETELY INVITED OVER.

WHAT?! I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A PLACE THEN.

THESE RULES ARE GETTING ALL SCREWED UP--

OH, MY GOD, DON'T TOUCH THAT!

I'M JUST CLOSING THESE SO OUR BOSS DOESN'T BURST INTO FLAMES,

IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU.

OH, YEAH, I GUESS.

THIS IS NICE.

HOW ABOUT A TOUR?

UH-HUH. THIS IS THE KITCHEN. LIVING ROOM.

I'M GOING TO KNOCK OUT THAT WALL, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.

HEY, THANKS FOR THE CACTUS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAN AFFORD THIS.

I BET YOU TWO WANT LUNCH.

THERE'S A PLACE DOWN THE STREET--

OOPS. THAT THING'S BEEN DOING THAT ALL MORNING.

I THINK THE, UM, MANTEL IS UNEVEN.

THAT THING LUNGED AT ME!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

OK, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT THE MANTEL.

IT'S A VERY, VERY BAD TROPHY.

DEAR SWEET...

COME ON.

I AM NOT GIVING UP THIS APARTMENT.

IT'S HAUNTED.IT'S RENT CONTROLLED.

CORDY, IT SAYS DIE.

HEY, MAYBE IT'S NOT DONE YET.

MAYBE IT'S "DIET." THAT'S FRIENDLY.

A LITTLE JUDGMENTAL, SURE.

I AM NOT GIVING IT UP!

IT'S PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL. IT'S SO ME. I NEED IT.

YOU DON'T NEED THIS, IT'S JUST A PLACE.

YOU'RE MORE THAN THAT.

HOW? HOW AM I MORE THAN THAT?

WE COULD CLEANSE IT.

WE CAN TRY, CAN'T WE?

PUT THE GHOST TO REST?

CAN WE?

WE CAN TRY, BUT WE HAVE TO GO NOW.

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT AT THE OFFICE.

OK.

LISTEN GOOD, CASPER!

YOU HAVEN'T WON A THING.

I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP THIS APARTMENT.

Woman's Voice: ALL RIGHT, DEAR, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST.

LOTS OF STUFF HERE ABOUT THE BUILDING.

CONSTRUCTION BIDS, CITY INSPECTIONS.

TENANTS. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE.

AND DIED THERE.

THAT'S THE INGREDIENTS FOR GHOSTS, RIGHT?

YEAH, YEAH. THIS ISN'T EASY, YOU KNOW.

YOU KNOW, THIS REALLY IS JUST A PLACE TO LIVE.

NO. IT'S MORE. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

AND IF IT GOES AWAY, IT'S LIKE--

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE I'M STILL GETTING PUNISHED.

PUNISHED?

FOR WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW. FOR HOW I WAS?

FOR EVERYTHING THAT I SAID IN HIGH SCHOOL

JUST 'CAUSE I COULD GET AWAY WITH IT.

AND THEN IT ALL ENDED, AND I HAD TO PAY.

BUT THIS APARTMENT-- OH! I COULD BE ME AGAIN.

PUNISHMENT OVER.

WELCOME BACK TO YOUR LIFE,

LIKE-- LIKE I COULDN'T BE THAT AWFUL

IF I GET TO HAVE A PLACE LIKE THAT.

IT'S JUST LIKE YOU.

WORKING FOR REDEMPTION.

I--I MEANT BECAUSE YOU USED TO HAVE THAT MANSION.

Doyle: HEY, I FOUND SOMETHING!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A DEATH.

FIRST PERSON TO EVER LIVE IN YOUR PLACE-- MRS. MAUDE PEARSON.

HOW'D YOU GET THAT?

NAME CARVED OVER THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING.

PEARSON ARMS.

I CHECKED THE OBITS FOR PEARSON AND WE GOT LUCKY.

TURNS OUT MAUDE PEARSON BUILT THE PLACE AND TOOK A UNIT THERE, TOO.

AND IN 1946 SHE DROPPED DEAD OF A HEART ATTACK

IN CORDELIA'S LIVING ROOM AT AGE 57.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S HER.

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S NOT A VIOLENT DEATH. I MEAN, GHOSTS ARE USUALLY--

IT'S HER, I KNOW IT.

THE PLACE HAS THAT WEIRD LITTLE OLD LADY SMELL,

LIKE--LIKE, VIOLETS AND ASPERCREME.

NO, THEY DIDN'T FIND A BODY FOR 3 WEEKS.

SO IT WASN'T VIOLETS THERE AT THE END, I'M THINKING.

THIS IS EASY. LITTLE OLD LADY GHOST.

PROBABLY HANGING AROUND 'CAUSE SHE THINKS SHE LEFT THE IRON ON.

LET'S GET A NICE CLEANSING SPELL AND DO THIS THING.

IT'S NOT AN EASY SPELL.

I MEAN, HAWTHORN BERRIES AND LUNGWORT AND BILE.

WE NEED BILE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET EVERYTHING.

I CAN.

I KNOW THIS GUY IN KOREATOWN

WHO DOES THESE SPELLS ALL THE TIME.

I CAN GET THE STUFF FROM HIM.

OH, GOODY, ANOTHER OF DOYLE'S GUYS.

TELL ME, IS THIS THE SAME GUY

THAT HELPED ME FIND MY POLTERGEISTALICIOUS APARTMENT?

DOYLE, GO. GET WHAT YOU NEED.

I'M GONNA TRY AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION.

MAYBE KATE CAN FIND SOMETHING. YOU WAIT HERE.

LITTLE OLD LADY GHOST.

HOW COME PATRICK SWAYZE'S NEVER DEAD WHEN YOU NEED HIM?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Machine: ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS. WE HELP THE HOPELESS.

IF THAT'S YOU, LEAVE A MESSAGE.

Angel: CORDELIA, ARE YOU THERE?

I THINK WE CAN END THIS WHOLE THING.

I'M HERE. ABOUT TIME YOU CALLED. YOU GOT SOMETHING?

MEET ME AT THE APARTMENT,

AND WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

OK.

Angel: CORDELIA, I'M IN THE BEDROOM.

ANGEL?

[GASPS]

YOU GOT MY CALL.

POOR THING.

YOU JUST DON'T FIT IN AROUND HERE, DO YOU?

OH, TOO BAD YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE MY SON ALONE.

YOUR--YOUR SON?

I WISH I COULD BE MORE HELP.

THAT'S OK. JUST KNOWING THINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, THAT'S A HELP.

YOU KNOW, ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITIES.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING LIKE A DETECTIVE.

I AM A DETECTIVE.

WELL, SEE, THE THING ABOUT DETECTIVES IS THEY HAVE RESUMES

AND BUSINESS LICENSES AND LAST NAMES.

POP STARS AND POPES, THOSE ARE THE ONE-NAME GUYS.

YOU GOT ME. I'M A POPE.

HERE YOU GO.

DAVIS, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

JEEZ, I WASN'T SURE YOU'D HAVE RECORDS THAT OLD.

NEITHER DID I. LET'S SEE.

MAUDE PEARSON. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATH.

OK, THIS GUY, DETECTIVE RANDALL,

HE THOUGHT THE DEATH WAS SUSPICIOUS.

THE M.E. CALLED IT A HEART ATTACK,

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE SON.

HE WAS...DENNIS PEARSON. HE LIVED WITH HER. THEY ARGUED A LOT.

WHAT ABOUT?

A GIRL.

HIS FIANCEÉE. MOM DIDN'T LIKE HER.

AND DENNIS SKIPS TOWN WITH HER THE DAY THAT MOM DROPS DEAD.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

COPS NEVER CAUGHT HIM.

UNAVENGED MURDER.

SOUNDS LIKE.

THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY DEATHS

AT THE SAME APARTMENT SINCE THEN.

YOU SAW ME CHECK. NO MURDERS, NOT EVEN DOMESTIC DISPUTE CALLS.

NOT MURDERS. SUICIDES.

THERE'S A KIND OF A-- A KIND OF KILLER THAT DOES THAT.

MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE.

THERE ARE ALWAYS SIGNS.

THERE.

MARGO DRESSNER, 1959.

AND JENNY KIM, 1965.

NATALIE DAVIS, 5 YEARS AGO.

ALL IN THE SAME APARTMENT. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

I BETTER MAKE A CALL.

[RING]

[RING]

[RING]

UH, ANGEL INVESTIGATIONS.

WE HOPE YOU'RE HELPLESS.

NO, WAIT! THAT'S--

IT'S ME. PUT CORDELIA ON.

WELL, SHE'S NOT HERE.

HANG ON A SEC. THERE'S A MESSAGE.

Angel's Voice: CORDELIA, ARE YOU THERE?

I THINK WE COULD END THIS WHOLE THING.

Cordelia's Voice: I'M HERE. ABOUT TIME YOU CALLED.

YOU GOT SOMETHING?

MEET ME AT THE APARTMENT, AND WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

THAT'S NOT ME.

WHOEVER YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO, IT'S NOT ME.

MY NAME IS CORDELIA.

WELL, THAT'S THE NAME

OF A CHEAP SMALL-TOWN TRAMP

TRYING TO SOUND BETTER THAN SHE IS.

YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY BOY.

THIS WILL NEVER BE YOUR HOME.

THIS IS MY HOME.

MY FRIENDS WILL COME HERE.

YOU DON'T HAVE FRIENDS.

WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE ABOUT YOU?

NOBODY REALLY CARES.

YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE HERE.

YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING.

WE WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE GHOST.

IT'S THE OLD WOMAN, MRS. PEARSON.

BUT SHE DIDN'T DIE OF A HEART ATTACK. HER SON KILLED HER.

A MURDER VICTIM? RIGHT.

FILLED WITH RAGE AND CONFUSION.

THAT'S WHY SHE'S BEEN KILLING PEOPLE.

SHE CAN'T REST UNTIL THE TRUTH COMES OUT.

THAT'S A PRETTY STRONG GHOST.

BILE. WE SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE BILE.

I WILL LEAVE. PLEASE.

OH, I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU'RE WORTHLESS.

YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN KIND.

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SMART. YOU'RE A USER.

YOU'RE NOTHING.

EVERYONE WOULD BE GLAD IF YOU WERE DEAD.

NO.

OH, COME ON.

IF ANYONE REALLY CARED ABOUT YOU,

WOULD YOU BE HERE?

PEOPLE LET YOU END UP HERE

BECAUSE THEY WERE HAPPY TO SEE YOU FAIL.

[GASPS]

[COUGHING]

[PANTING] THE FURNITURE A-AND THE WALL AND THE BLOOD, SHE'S DOING IT.

SHE'S DOING IT ALL.

SHE'LL BE BACK. SHE'S STRONGER THAN US.

SHE KNOWS ME.

WE CAN STOP HER.

NO, NO. WE CAN'T STOP HER.

SHE'S MADE A CONNECTION WITH YOU, RIGHT?

SHE THINKS YOU'RE SOMEONE,

SOMEONE SHE BLAMES FOR HER MURDER.

CORDELIA, ANSWER ME.

I'M--I'M--

I'M TAKING HER SON AWAY.

SHE THINKS I'M TAKING HER SON.

THAT'S GOOD. HER SON WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED HER.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE PLAYING A ROLE IN HER DELUSION.

THAT GIVES YOU POWER. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAN STOP HER.

START THE BINDING CIRCLE. I'LL FIND THE SPELL.

[CORDELIA SOBS]

"BRING THE TRUTH INTO THE LIGHT.

"LET THE VILLAIN BE REVEALED THAT A SOUL

CAN TAKE ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE FOR ETERNITY."

HERE SHE COMES! SHE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE DOING!

WE NEED CORDELIA NOW.

CORDY, GET UP!

ADDUCE VERITATUM IN LUCEM.

ACCIPIAT LARUA SUAM REQUIETAM.

REPOSCANT ANIMAE SUUM REGNUM.

CORDELIA, STAND IN THE CIRCLE AND STRIKE AT ITS CENTER!

[SOBS] WHAT?

DAMN IT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

THE GHOST IS IN CONTACT WITH YOU.

SHE'S GIVEN YOU THAT.

[WHISPERING] They don't care about you.

They want you to fail.

They know you're a tarted-up little whore...

DOYLE, CHANT.

AWW, MAN, LATIN!

ONE OF THOSE DEAD LANGUAGES YOU ALWAYS MEAN TO LEARN.

"V" SOUNDS LIKE "W," SAY EACH VOWEL SEPARATELY.

Ghost: ...pull you out of the gutter.

YOU DO KNOW WHAT TO DO.

YOU CAN STOP ALL THIS. DO IT.

[SOBBING] I CAN'T.

LOOK AT YOU.

ARE YOU GONNA LET HER DO THIS TO YOU?

DAMN IT! YOU'RE CORDELIA CHASE.

ARE YOU JUST GONNA LIE THERE LIKE A WEAKLING?

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND BE TOUGH!

I CAN'T. [SOBS] I CAN'T.

YOU CAN BE THE BIGGEST PAIN I'VE EVER SEEN.

DO IT NOW!

I CAN'T, I CAN'T DO IT.

[CHANTING]

THIS ISN'T GONNA WORK.

AND IT'S GETTING DODGY IN HERE!

WE GOTTA GET HER OUT OF HERE.

THIS ISN'T SAFE. NOW!

LET'S GO.

NOBODY'S GOING ANYWHERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU WERE GONNA LET HIM PAY.

I LIED.

NO MORE PEOPLE!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

IGNORE HER. IT'S JUST A GHOST.

GET OUT!

YOU BROKE IT!

LOOK, I'LL PAY! REALLY!

I'VE GOT A FIN IN MY WALLET RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS MY HOUSE.

KNIVES!

[GROANS]

AAAAAH!

I'LL LEAVE. I'M SORRY YOUR SON KILLED YOU.

YOU CAN HAVE THE APARTMENT. JUST LET ME GO.

IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT.NO.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

YOUR FRIENDS ARE DIRTY. THEY RUINED MY NICE HOME.

[SOBS]

I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE FROM THE START.

I'M SURPRISED THAT MY SON DIDN'T SMELL

THE STENCH OF POVERTY AND FAILURE ON YOU.

I CAN.

I'M SORRY.

YOU BETTER BE SORRY,

YOU STUPID LITTLE BITCH.

I'M A BITCH.

TAKE OFF THE BED SHEETS.

MAKE A NOOSE. GO ON.

IT'LL ALL BE OVER SOON.

I'M NOT A SNIVELING, WHINY LITTLE CRYBUFFY.

I'M THE NASTIEST GIRL IN SUNNYDALE HISTORY.

I TAKE CRAP FROM NO ONE.

YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE YOURSELF A NOOSE,

AND PUT IT AROUND--

BACK OFF,

POLYGRIP!

YOU THINK YOU'RE BAD?

ALL MEAN AND HAUNTY,

PICKING ON POOR PATHETIC CORDY?

WELL, GET READY TO HAUL YOUR WRINKLY TRANSLUCENT ASS

OUT OF THIS PLACE 'CAUSE, LADY, THE BITCH IS BACK.

DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT FROM TRASH LIKE YOU?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK.

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA PACK YOUR LITTLE GHOST BAGS

AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!

OHH!

WHAT HAPPENED? YOU DID IT.

YEAH, WELL, SHE PISSED ME OFF.

WELL, MAYBE YOU FOUND HER CENTER.

CORDY, WHAT'S WRONG?

CORDELIA!

[GRUNTS]

AAAAAAH!

LOOK WHAT YOU'RE MAKING ME DO, DENNIS.

MOM, STOP IT.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE NOW, HUH?

HOW ARE YOU GONNA MARRY THAT STREETWALKER NOW?

YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME.

MOM, DON'T DO THIS, PLEASE.

THIS IS CRAZY.

[MUFFLED] OH, GOD.

MOM, I CAN'T BREATHE. PLEASE.

LET ME OUT. PLEASE, MOM!

I'LL BE GOOD! I WON'T LEAVE YOU!

I PROMISE! MOM, PLEASE!

THIS HURTS ME MORE THAN IT HURTS YOU.

GOOD-BYE, DENNIS.

[GASPS]

Doyle: DENNIS, I PRESUME.

AND PROBABLY NOT TOO HAPPY WITH HIS MOM.

DENNIS, IT WAS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

I HAD TO DO IT.

SHE WOULD HAVE MADE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE.

I'M SORRY.

PLEASE. PLEASE!

I KNEW I DIDN'T LIKE THAT WALL.

THERE. SAFE AS HOUSES.

YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE LIKE THIS?

I DON'T SEE ADDING A DEAD BOLT

HAVING A HUGE EFFECT ON MY LIFESTYLE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

YEAH, WELL, THERE MIGHT BE MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

THAT SORT OF THING.

YOU KNOW I'LL HELP YOU OUT.

FOR WHICH I'M GRATEFUL.

BUT SOONER OR LATER I'M GONNA NEED TO HEAR IT.

HEAR WHAT?

THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE.

[SIGH] AND QUITE A TALE IT IS, TOO.

FULL OF RIBALD ADVENTURES AND BEAUTIFUL DAMSELS WITH LOOSE MORALS--

DOYLE.

I WILL.

JUST GIVE ME TIME.

THE PAST DON'T LET GO, DOES SHE?

MMM, SHE NEVER DOES.

GOD, AURA, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE MISSED YOUR CALLS.

IT'S THAT INCOMPETENT GIRL AT WORK.

BUT THINGS ARE GOING GREAT.

WELL, MY NEW APARTMENT, FOR ONE THING.

CELEBRITIES ARE PRACTICALLY ON TOP OF ME.

OH, STEVE PAYMER-- THAT'S DAVE PAYMER'S BROTHER--

LIVES RIGHT DOWN THE HALL.

WELL, YOU'D KNOW HIM IF YOU SAW HIM.

AND MY VIEW, IT'S AMAZING.

YEAH, I HAVE A ROOMMATE, BUT IT'S COOL.

I NEVER SEE HIM.

HEY, HEY, PHANTOM DENNIS. PUT THAT BACK.

ALL IN ALL, IT'S WORKING OUT GREAT.

DENNIS, WHEN I AM ON THE PHONE, THAT'S QUIET TIME.

THANKS.

SORRY. SO, WHERE WERE WE?

TELL ME WHO'S WEARING WHAT IN SUNNYDALE.

NO!

WELL, SHE NEVER DID HAVE ANY TASTE.

[LAUGHS] SHE'S SO NASTY.

[LAUGHS]

GRR! ARRGH!
