(Spike has Eve in Angel's office)

EVE: Brilliant. Really. They'll never look for me here. I'm gonna die.

SPIKE: You make it hard for me to want to help you.

ANGEL: (arriving) We don't want to help her. But...we will. You're under my protection.

EVE: Thank the gods.

ANGEL: But, you know, I can take it away with one phone call. Convince me not to, Eve.

EVE: How can I?

ANGEL: Let's start with something easy, huh? You.

EVE: Me?

ANGEL: What are you? What do you do for the senior partners?

EVE: I'm a liaison. I liaise. Look, what do you want me to say? I'm a leprechaun. I'm from Brigadoon.

SPIKE: If I had a nickel for every time I heard that one.

EVE: There are layers upon layers at Wolfram & Hart, Angel, things you'll never understand. What am I? I'm a child of the senior partners, created to do their bidding.

ANGEL: You're an immortal. Why are you here?

EVE: To watch. Tell them what I see. Pass on messages to you, if there are any.

SPIKE: So you're, uh, middle management?

ANGEL: What are the senior partners, huh? What do they—

EVE: No idea.

ANGEL: Eve.

EVE: Do you honestly believe the senior partners would let me have access to that information? Angel, for someone so old, you're so young. I only know what they want me to know and only when they want me to know it.

ANGEL: You don't know anything?

EVE: Maybe. Maybe I know a lot... but I don't have access to it. It's locked in my head somewhere, and I don't have the key. Ready for the funny part? There was someone who could've told you everything you want to know... and you let the senior partners take him away.

ANGEL: Lindsey.

EVE: Lindsey's dedicated years of his life to the study of the senior partners. No one knows more about them than he does— what they've done, what they plan to do.

ANGEL: I thought he was after me. You're saying bringing Spike back, the fail-safe, that was all about the senior partners?

EVE: No. It's about you, too. He really doesn't like you... but he may know more about you than... well, than you do.

ANGEL: Which is why they snatched him up.

SPIKE: Yeah. They couldn't risk him and you having a sit-down.

EVE: And now...what he's going through.

ANGEL: They didn't kill him?

EVE: They would want him to suffer horrors. Lindsey is in some hideous...awful hell.

(Cut to Lindsey, sharing a bed in a comfortable suburban house with a blond woman)

LINDSEY: Good morning.

TRISH: Mmm. So far.

(Lindsey kisses her forehead and cuddles close to her)

ZACK: (jumps into bed in-between them) Stop it! That's how I get sisters.

LINDSEY: Oh, really? Is that right?

(he looks at his wife, smiles)

LINDSEY: So... what are we gonna do today?
