(Wesley, Gunn and the rebels are developing a battle plan.)

WESLEY: The groosalug is our most formidable opponent. We *have* to get him out of the castle. If challenged to fight he has to accept?

SASHA: Yes. A champion of the realm he can not refuse, but no man can defeat the groosalug.

WESLEY: We'll worry about defeating him later. Our first step is to get him out of there. Once he's out we'll create diversions here, here and here. Then a few of us will scale their back wall here where their defenses are weakest.

GUNN: I wouldn't split my crew up this much if I was leading this charge.

WESLEY: I'm leading this charge. Tell me about the killing device.

SASHA: It send a signal to the collar on every slave in the land.

(He shows Wes a drawing of the jeweled-hand device.)

GUNN: What kind of signal?

BARTOK: Blows their heads off.

WESLEY: If Silas thinks he's losing he'll use it. We have to get to him before he does.

SASHA: The castle is well guarded.

ANGEL: Unlike this place.

(Angel steps out from behind a tree, followed by Fred. Rebels draw weapons and converge on them, some dropping out of the very tree Angel just passed to land behind them.)

WESLEY: It's alright. It's alright. He's a friend.

SASHA: Glad we were keeping watch.

GUNN: He's Angel. He does that. (Points at Fred) How she do that?

ANGEL: She's Fred. She does that, too.

WESLEY: Fred. Winifred? The girl from Cordy's vision?

SASHA: (to rebels) Check the perimeter - the east groves! (They disperse.)

ANGEL: These are my friends - Wesley - Gunn.

FRED: Hi-ya.

WESLEY: These, ah (sees that all the rebels are gone) those were the rebels. We've joined forces.

GUNN: They made Wes their general.

WESLEY: But you're here now. Ah (Indicates the battle plan) if you want to... I mean - you're much better at...

ANGEL: No, Wes, I-I can't... - You know what happens to me. (Looks down) I-I'm sorry... (Looks at Gunn) ...ashamed of what I did to you.

GUNN: It's kind of a crazy place here. The sooner we all get out the better.

ANGEL: Fred here might be able to help us with that. She knows a lot about portals.

FRED: Not a lot. The trionic speechcraft formulation/modification has to alter the dynamic reality sphere... - Lutzbalm predicted it at Zurig in '89 -- laughed him off the stage - although this slavery and degradation's no laughing matter...(laughs) ... it's no Crug-grain and Kalla berry breakfast all right.

(After a beat Wes and Gunn turn to look at Angel.)

ANGEL: She's been here a while. - Guys, ah, I have some bad news about the Host.
