(note: the following scene happens entirely in Angel's head)

CORDELIA: (looking around) Oh, no.

ANGEL: Dead end.

CORDELIA: Who booby-trapped a dead end? That's just not right.

WESLEY: There's something here.

ANGEL: Assyrian?

WESLEY: Hebrew. Rashi script.

CONNOR: Can you read it?

WESLEY: Just random letters, one on each stone... unless... (presses a stone, which lifts the wall approximately a foot off the ground)

CORDELIA: This is it, you did— (the wall lowers back down) You didn't.

WESLEY: There's a pattern. Hebrew letters have numerical values. Aleph is one. The letter with the next highest numerical value would be...He. 5. (presses a stone, but his hand is pierced by a spike; Wesley groans in agony)

ANGEL: What happened? What happened?

CONNOR: He was wrong.

WESLEY: I don't know. I don't know what else—

ANGEL: 9 stones.

WESLEY: Yes, that's it. It's not their numerical value. These are the first letters of the nine antediluvian patriarchs in Genesis.

CORDELIA: That would've been my next guess.

ANGEL: So which one do we press?

WESLEY: Aleph was Adam, so in ascending order...Shin for Seth. (points) That one.

(The wall lifts again, two feet off the ground this time, but it lowers again before they can get past it.)

ANGEL: (sighs) Now what?

WESLEY: Kaf for Cainan.

ANGEL: Which one's Kaf?

WESLEY: (points) Maybe that one.

CORDELIA: Maybe? I don't have enough shirt to bandage both of you.

(Angel presses a stone, and the wall lifts higher this time, about three feet off the ground. He runs underneath to hold it up, and Connor does the same.)

ANGEL: (to Cordelia and Wesley) Come on. (nods) Connor, go.

CONNOR: Both of us.

ANGEL: Now.

(Angel and Connor tumble under the wall, and it closes behind them. )
