(Merl smashes against a chain-link fence.)

ANGEL: You're not on protected ground tonight, Merl.

MERL: What do you want?

ANGEL: The truth.

MERL: I told you where to find him!

ANGEL: Not a whole lot of time tonight! Why'd you lie about the Prio?

MERL: There's a price on the woman.

ANGEL: The woman or the baby?

MERL: Yeah, the kid. A daughter. She's supposed to become some powerful, benevolent... I don't know! The dark ones they want her out of the picture. So it's two for one with the mom! The local brokers, they're offering hard cash. But no one can get close enough with that Prio around. You know, now that he is out of the picture you and I could...

ANGEL: Where is she?

MERL: Look, if I knew, would I be hanging around here, getting strangled by you?

ANGEL: Put the word out. Nobody touches the Woman.

MERL: It's a too little late for that. You know how many beast are out there after her by now?

ANGEL: Where did the Prio live?

MERL: I don't know. I don't know exactly. Boyle Heights. Somewhere underground, near the water and power. Kind of an iffy part of town, if you know what I'm saying?
