CONNOR: Someone's here.

(The door to the attic opens, and a man clad all in black steps into the room. He trips the wire on the trap Connor set earlier, and ends up hanging upside down by his foot. )

CONNOR: Do you remember how to fight?

CORDELIA: What?

CONNOR: They're coming for you. I've set traps, but you'll have to fight. Do you know how?

(Connor hands a sword to Cordelia, who's still sitting in the bed. Another black-clad guy crashes through the window. )

CORDELIA: One way to find out.

(they fight)

CONNOR: Cordelia!

(They continue to fight, but Connor and Cordelia both are soon overpowered. One of the intruders tries to escort Cordelia out of the room, but Angel kicks down the door. He's come to the rescue with Gunn and Fred. )

ANGEL: (softly to Cordy) Hey...

(Angel and Gunn fight off the intruders. Lilah watches from her remote device.)

LILAH: Well, aren't you the stud?

CARLO: Miss Morgon. It's done.

LILAH: Hmm. Music to my ears, Carlo. I'm going home. Tell the boys it's fourth-and-ten.

CARLO: All units: punt. I repeat: punt.

(The intruders stop fighting and leave the room immediately.)

GUNN: That's right, monkey boys. Don't mess with the big dog! (to Angel and Fred) It's better than sidekick.

ANGEL: (to Cordy) Did they hurt you? Are you OK?

CORDELIA: Yeah, I'm OK.

CONNOR: I didn't expect so many.

ANGEL: You tried. I appreciate it. And I really like what you've, um, done with the...nice. (to Cordy) We should probably get you back home.

CORDELIA: Actually, I'd like to stay here. With Connor.

ANGEL: I don't think that's the best idea. Connor's a great fighter. I helped train him. But you need more than just muscle right now.

CORDELIA: You're right. I need someone who won't lie to me... like you did. All of you, I know you were trying to help, but the truth is the only way to do that, and that's what Connor's given to me.

ANGEL: (to Connor) Keep her safe. (walks out)
