CORDELIA: Okay, I'm back to the desktop, Willow. What do I do now? Okay, done that. Back to file list. Yeah. Yeah.

WESLEY: Any luck?

ANGEL: She's been on the phone for an hour and 45 minutes.

CORDELIA: Hey, guess what they've been doing all day?

WESLEY: Uh, saving the world?

CORDELIA: Well, yeah. But they've been breaking encrypted computer files, too!

ANGEL: What are the odds, huh?

CORDELIA: I know. What? Oh, no one, just Wesley.

ANGEL: Cordelia, can she get us in?

CORDELIA: (holds up a finger) Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. (She clicks and the computer beeps.) Okay. Willow says hey.

ANGEL: Hey.

CORDELIA: Okay. Yeah, I see it. Tag file. Okay. Left click. (Computer beeps) There it is. Back door. We're in. Thanks, Will.

(Cordelia hangs up the phone.)

WESLEY: Personnel file, Vanessa Brewer. She wasn't born blind. She lost her sight when she was 21.

CORDELIA: On purpose. She did it to herself.

WESLEY: Oh, dear.

ANGEL: And she spent five years in Pajaur, studying the Nanjin. Which explains her power.

CORDELIA: It does?

WESLEY: Yes, the order of the Nanjin, cave-dwelling monks. They believe enlightenment is seeing with the heart, not the mind.

CORDELIA: Are you telling me self-mutilating, psycho-assassin chick reached enlightenment?

WESLEY: Of a kind. She'd be more sensitive to her surroundings than even a sighted person, which is what would make her an unstoppable foe.

ANGEL: No one's unstoppable. What is her current job?

WESLEY: Here it is. Lindsey was right. Children. Three of them. Seers. They were each found in different remote locations, brought together here for the first time.

CORDELIA: They're blind, too. Together the children have the power to see into the heart of things.

WESLEY: A holy triumvirate. As they mature, so does their power.

LINDSEY: Which makes them a real threat to Wolfram and Hart. Sorry I'm late. I hope I didn't worry anyone.

CORDELIA: We just figured you were dead.

ANGEL: So you made it out okay.

LINDSEY: Yeah, but it's only a matter of time before they find out which files have gone missing. We have to move fast. When are the children getting into the country?

WESLEY: According to this, they arrived this morning. They're being kept in a safe house with a guardian until their mentor arrives. And he's coming in from the East tonight.

ANGEL: Not safe. There's an address. I want you two to try to intercept this mentor guy. Keep him away from that house. We'll bring the kids to him.
