ANGEL: Come on.

GUNN: (panting) Man, this is so much harder than it looks on Batman.

(they break into the building)

FRED: ...and thirty yards west. This is the junction. All right, I'll be in here trying to hack into the vault's security system. Charles—

GUNN: Secure the escape route. Guard's station, one floor down.

FRED: Disarm and contain. Angel, hit the vault, wait for system shutdown, then steal the Axis.

GUNN: (to Fred) You are so hot right now.

FRED: Go. (Angel and Gunn head out in opposite directions. Fred stands, irritated) Guys! (Angel and Gunn turn around and switch directions, Fred sighs)

(...)

GWEN: (spotting Fred via security camera) Yeah, that's not good.

(...)

FRED: (to herself as she hacks into the computer system) Please, let my cellmate be gentle.

(...)

GUNN: (sneaking up on a guard) Look out! (punches guard) Tried to warn ya.

(...)

ANGEL: (tharted by laser beams) Help me out here, Fred.

(Just then, a thick metal gate drops down from the ceiling.)

ANGEL: Not exactly what I had in mind.

(Angel bends down to try and lift the gate, but it shorts out. A hatch opens from the ceiling, and Gwen drops into the vault, inside the gate, while Angel is stuck outside. She's hanging upside down.)

GWEN: You know, I put that down for a reason.

(...)

FRED: (typing) No!

(Fred's monitor's flashing a big red error message at her. Vault Electrical Monitor. System Interference. Malfunction.)

FRED: I haven't even gotten into the electrical system, so that— That means—

(...)

GUNN: (finding 4 gagged guards) We got company.

(...)

ANGEL: Who are you?

GWEN: Who are you?

ANGEL: I asked you first.

GWEN: What are you, seven?

ANGEL: Tell me you're not here for the Axis.

GWEN: I'm not here for the Axis.

ANGEL: You're lying.

GWEN: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

(Gwen motions with her hand, and the laser beams bend up, out of her way.)

ANGEL: What?

GWEN: Technically? I'm exciting the subatomic particles with electrical energy and then bouncing 'em off each other before they hit ground state. I just love that folks go for this hi-tech stuff. Electricity comforts 'em. Suckers.

ANGEL: What— are you?

GWEN: I'm a freak. What'd you think?

ANGEL: Um, yeah, you know, I'm sure there's lots of other nice expensive things that you could steal in there. It just doesn't have to be the one—

GUNN: Where's the bogey?

ANGEL: In there. She's after the Axis.

GUNN: She? As in she took out the four armed guards downstairs?

ANGEL: That's good to know.

GWEN: So long, handsome.

ANGEL: Listen, I need the Axis. It's an ancient mystical relic—

GWEN: (sing-songy) It's fun for a girl and a boy. I like to think of it as... mine.

ANGEL: Please.

GWEN: Please? Are you kidding me? (notices Gunn) Hey there, Denzel.

ANGEL: I'm trying to find someone. Someone very important to me, and the Axis there, it's my only shot.

GUNN: Come on, he's telling the truth.

GWEN: Oh, well, golly, if you say it's true... So what? You just wanna... borrow this thing?

ANGEL: You can do whatever you want with it, as soon as I find her.

GWEN: Her? Of course it's her. Two questions, then. One: do you really love her?

ANGEL: Yeah, I do.

GWEN: Two: on a scale of one to ten, exactly how stupid do you think I am?

(Gwen steps back to the rope to climb out, but the security system is tripped. Alarms sound.)

GWEN: Don't answer that.

ANGEL: Way to go, Fred.

(The gate starts to lift, as Gwen climbs up the rope. Gunn slides under the gate, and grabs Gwen by the legs. )

GWEN: Let go!

GUNN: A little help here! (Gwen pushes him away with her bare hand, causing a shock) Ahh!

(Fred is running into the vault room as this is happening. She sees Gunn falls over from the shock Gwen gave him. Angel goes to Gunn, and realizes there's something wrong when he doesn't get back up. He has no pulse.)

ANGEL: He's dead.

(... commercial ...)

FRED: No. No. No.

GWEN: Move! (goes to Gunn, shocks Angel, knocking him down, kicks Fred away from Gunn) Sorry, honey. (bends down and touches Gunn's chest, shocking it) Just like starting a Chevy. (Gunn gasps) There we go.

FRED: Angel, we gotta get to a hospital.
