(Cut to the police station.)

KATE: Angel.

ANGEL: We need to talk.

KATE: I know. I want to apologize for the other night.

ANGEL: You don't have to do that.

KATE: That's not what my sensitivity trainer says. I know, that's pretty goof ball, right? Still, thanks for what you did.

ANGEL: You're welcome.

KATE: Listen what are you doing tomorrow night, around eightish? My father's having this retirement party thing, with a bunch of his old cop buddies. I’m supposed to say a few words. It'd be nice if there was at least one person there who wasn't, you know, armed. It'd be a favor.

ANGEL: Sure.

KATE: Okay, that was easy. I'm relieved. Something wrong?

ANGEL: Kate, I think you may be in real danger.

KATE: Okay, the relief part's done.

ANGEL: I've heard some things. I don't know the specifics yet, but I think Papazian's taken a contract out on you.

KATE: Wow.

ANGEL: I'm going to stay on this…

KATE: He's really acting out, isn't he?

ANGEL: Well, yeah! He wants you dead.

KATE: Oh, I get that. I'm just saying he must be in some kind of pain to have to strike out at others in that way.

ANGEL: Are you okay?

KATE: Oh God, listen to me. Suddenly I'm Dr. Laura. Next thing you know I'll be talking about processing and my inner child. I'm sure I'll be back to my usual level of cynicism in no time.
