(as Lorne tries to talk to him, Angel is intently collecting office supplies -- stapler, message skewer, etc -- and only partially listening to him)

LORNE: I talked to a couple different sources, like you asked -- Angel, the news isn't good. This Quor-toth dimension is... Everyone I spoke to is afraid of it -- and these are not easily- rattled people. But that's... that's not all. The portal you saw opened -- it wasn't a portal. Because there are no portals to Quor-toth. The only way in is to rip right through the fabric of reality. This isn't a matter of finding an interdimensional hotspot, or conjuring an opening with a simple incantation. To punch through to Quor-toth would require dark, dark magicks, the kinda power it takes centuries to build. Angel. I know this isn't easy for you, but you have to hear it. Even if you somehow managed to get in, finding Connor would be like looking for a needle in a haystack the size of China.

ANGEL: Needles. I shoulda thought of that.

LORNE: We just don't have the resources to conjure up that much dark power --

(cannot help but notice that Angel has Linwood tied up, already looking a little worse for wear)

ANGEL: Oh, I think we do.

(cut to commercial. resume)

LORNE: Angel... who is that?

LINWOOD: Linwood Murrow. Division president of Special Projects for Wolfram and Hart. And you are?

LORNE: Deeply troubled.

LINWOOD: You and Angel have a lot in common. Abducting an employee of Wolfram and Hart... then again, he might be too troubled to consider the consequences. (to Angel) Once the firm finds out what you've done --

ANGEL: They'd kill you before they'd kill me.

LORNE: Angel, this isn't some slimy demon you've got trussed up here -- he's a human. (looks at Linwood) Marginally, but still... this isn't gonna bring Connor back.

(Angel plucks out a gleaming steak knife from his kitchen utinsal drawer)

ANGEL: He'd better hope it does.

LORNE: Do you even know what you're doing?

LINWOOD: At last count the charges were kidnapping, assault and battery, attempted murder --

(Thunk! Angel sets a small table arrayed with the pointy items he's been collecting right in front of Linwood)

LINWOOD: (scared) -- none of which I intend to press. In fact, don't let's press anything, shall we? You want to find your son? I can guarantee you the full force and faith of Wolfram and Hart will be at your disposal.

(Under this, Angel has picked up the spindle, and he moves it veryveryclose to Linwood's right eye.)

ANGEL: Who is SahJhan, and how do I get my hands on him?

LINWOOD: If you'll just hit 3 on my speed dial -- (nodding as best he can toward jacket) My cell phone.

(Angel reaches in, pulls it out of Linwood's jacket, punches 3, holds it up to Linwood's face. A beat, then)

LINWOOD: Lilah? Linwood. I'm sending over a client, and I want you to listen very carefully, because I have explicit instructions on how to deal with him. (beat) Give him anything he wants.
