GUNN: We're lost.

WESLEY: Nonsense. I've been following the sun. We're headed due west, back toward the village.

GUNN: Which one?

WESLEY: Which village?

GUNN: Which sun? There're two of them. Alternate dimension? We're lost.

(Wesley stops and holds up a hand for silence.)

GUNN: You're having a Blair witch moment?

WESLEY: Something's hunting us.

(Gunn smoothly slides in to stand back to back with Wes.)

GUNN: Palace guards?

WESLEY: I don't know.

(The Angel-beast attacks them.)

GUNN: What the hell is it?

(Wesley stumbles, the beast threatens him, Gunn throws rocks.)

GUNN: Come on! Come on!

(The Angel-beast turns and Wes spots Angel's tattoo showing briefly through a rip in his clothing.)

WESLEY: It's Angel!

(Gunn glances at Wes and the beast leaps, knocking him to the ground. Gunn is straining to hold the Angel-beast off far enough to keep out of the reach of its fangs.)

WESLEY: Angel! Can you hear me? Angel! Angel?

(Fred appears and lures the Angel-beast off.)

WESLEY: (to Gunn, who is scratched) Oh, you're hurt.

GUNN: What the hell just happened?

WESLEY: That strange wild girl saved us - from Angel.

GUNN: Something very freaky is going on here.

WESLEY: I have a suspicion I may know what. Angel's vampire-self has been sublimated somehow by this dimension. (He picks up a handful of wet mud and gets ready to smear it over Gunn's scratches. Gunn holds up a hand.) It's okay. (Gunn lets him pack the scratches with mud.) Only his human side has surfaced since we've been here...

GUNN: You mean being able to walk around in the sun, seeing his reflection, like that?

WESLEY: Yes. And now, for whatever reason he's accessed his demon, but he can't find the balance he normally would in our world. His demon-self has totally overcome his human side.

GUNN: So that's what the thing inside of him really looks like?

WESLEY: In its purest form.

GUNN: That's nasty.

WESLEY: Can you walk?

GUNN: Yeah.

WESLEY: We've got to help him. You alright?

GUNN: Yeah.

(Then ragged humans surround them.)

GUNN: Oh, good. More fun.

(Fred has lured the Angel-beast to her cave. There, it follows her till it comes to the little pool. It sees its monstrous reflection, groans, morphs back into Angel.)
