AUBREY: Excuse me. Is this Angel Investigations? I need your help.

(cut to Fred putting Connor into the bassinet while the others listen to Aubrey.)

AUBREY: Last Monday night, my son Timothy snuck out of the house. He loved to go to the pier. He loved the lights of the Ferris wheel there. So I went after him. I searched the pier, the arcade - nothing. So - I sat up all night and waited for him to come home.

ANGEL: When did he return home? Right before dawn?

AUBREY: Yeah. But his face was... There was something wrong with his face - and - he was so angry. He was calling me names, and pounding on the door, and screaming at me to let him in. - It scared me. I was afraid of my own son. - Then he just - went up in flames.

WESLEY: If you'd let him in - he would have killed you.

AUBREY: At least he'd still be alive.

GUNN: No. What came to your door that wasn't your son. It looked like your son, but it wasn't him.

AUBREY: Maybe I could have found a way to turn him back.

ANGEL: When somebody becomes a vampire there is no turning back. No matter how much you want to believe there is some part of him you can save, all that's left is an evil thing.

WESLEY: You say your son went to the pier that night? (Aubrey nods) Gunn, why don't you do a little recon while it's still light out.

GUNN: I can just gear up and take care of it.

WESLEY: No. If there is a nest at the pier, we go as a group. Strictly reconnaissance.

GUNN: Okay. Fred and I will check it out.

AUBREY: If I could have found that thing myself, I would have killed it with my bare hands. - It made me afraid of my own little boy. I don't understand any of this. I don't know what to do.

(Smash cut to Aubrey reporting to a group of people ranged around a seated Holtz.)

AUBREY: Wesley Wyndham-Pryce heads the staff at Angel Investigations. Doles out assignments, specializes in reference and research.

AUBREY: This woman nicknamed Fred appears to be the resident science expert. It's unclear whether she is a fighter. Finally, Charles GUNN: big, very strong, could be a formidable opponent. Though he seems to be a bit impulsive. We may be able to use that in the future.

HOLTZ: Good work, Aubrey.

AUBREY: Thanks, boss.
