ANGEL: (via cell) Kate, it’s Angel. Pick up if you’re there. If you get this message, get a hold of your father. Get him out of his house. He’s in danger.

(Cut to Trevor opening the door to the suit guys from the auto place.)

SUIT GUY: Mr. Lockley. May we come in?

LOCKLEY: What do you want?

SUIT GUY: It’d be better if we discussed it inside. It concerns your daughter.

(Cut to Angel getting in the car.)

ANGEL: (still via cell, leaving a message) He doesn’t know what they are, Kate. He won’t understand. I’m on my way there now.

(...)

LOCKLEY: You boys like a drink?

SUIT GUY: We’ll wait.

LOCKLEY: Okay. So. You said this was about Katie.

SUIT GUY: Yes. Just a question, actually. You haven’t by any chance mentioned to her, even casually, your association with us, have you?

LOCKLEY: She doesn’t know a thing. Why?

SUIT GUY: Well, we were concerned, had you confided in her that she might not share your... pragmatism. Given her position and youth.

LOCKLEY: You mean you were afraid she wasn’t crooked like her old man. She’s not! And she’ll never have to be, I’ve seen to it!

SUIT GUY: Ahh, providing for her future of course, very noble. Glad we could help with that.

LOCKLEY: Yeah. I’ll be sure and thank you when I pick up my father of the year award. Anything else?

SUIT GUY: Just one more thing.

(They are interrupted by a knock on the door. )

ANGEL: Mr. Lockley, I need you to invite me in.

LOCKLEY: What? Get out of here.

(Angel sees the suit guys behind him tries to walk in but can’t.)

ANGEL: Invite me in. Do it now.

LOCKLEY: Son, you really need to go.

ANGEL: Invite me in. (The two suit guys morph into vamp face) Invite me in! (One of them grabs Trevor and throws him across the room) No. No!

SUIT GUY: Looks like you’re not welcome here, bro.

ANGEL: He dies, the very instant his soul leaves his body, I’m through this door and I’ll kill you both!

(Angel has to watch helplessly as they drain Kate’s father. They drop him and Angel charges in, kicks a chair to break off a leg, hits the bigger vamp and stakes it. The other vamp runs out of the room, almost colliding with Kate as she runs in. )

KATE: Oh! Daddy! No, Dad.

ANGEL: Kate... he invited them in. He didn’t know.

KATE: (crying) But you did. You knew!

ANGEL: I wanted to save him. He – he wouldn’t let me. Look, he was involved in something, Kate, in something he couldn’t have understood.

KATE: Get out. Get out! Get out! Get out. Get out. Get out. Please, get out. Please, get out.
