(In a dark room, a man with a sack over his head is being viciously beaten by robed figures. Angel leaps through a doorway filled with fire to enter the room, goes to the man and lifts his hood. We cannot see the man's face)

MAN: (whispers) Thank you. Thank you.

(Angel vamps out and bites the man. Cut to credits. Resume in Angel's apartment, Angel in bed with Nina. A title reads: 19 HOURS EARLIER)

ANGEL: Hey.

NINA: OK. Where did you learn how to do that?

ANGEL: Which part?

NINA: Doesn't matter. How are you?

ANGEL: I'm good.

NINA: (teasing) You're not perfectly happy, are you? 'Cause I've got my wooden stake right here.

(she reaches over into the nightstand drawer)

NINA: Oh, that's not a stake. I know I brought it--

ANGEL: You're safe.

NINA: OK. And you? Good? You weren't thinking about your little Roman friend, or--

ANGEL: Nina, for the last...

(picks up his wristwatch from the nightstand, looks at it)

ANEGL: whoa.

NINA: Wowee.

ANGEL: For the last... very long moment I haven't had a single coherent thought.

NINA: I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

ANGEL: You really should.

NINA: But now, the brow is back. If she's not on your mind, then...

ANGEL: Oh, there's... there's a lot more than usual going on.

NINA: Work?

ANGEL: Always.

NINA: You should get away. Vacation? You know that word? Go to Cabo, drink margaritas, midnight skinny-dipping, making love on the beach. Did you catch how I subtly included myself in your vacation package?

ANGEL: Nina...

NINA: Too pushy, too needy, I never even said it. You should make love on the beach all by yourself.

ANGEL: It would be wonderful. I mean it.

NINA: But...

ANGEL: There are-- There are things that I have to do. Things that I've already set in motion that, uh... I know I've spent years fighting to get somewhere... to accomplish something... and now that I'm close to it... I don't like what I see, what I am.

NINA: You're a hero.

ANGEL: Oh, that word.

NINA: You're my hero.

ANGEL: I may not always be.
