Next Clip in Episode

(the Beast grabs Lilah)

LILAH: I could help you. Anything you need.

(jabs a finger into her, discards her when Connor flies at him)

BEAST: Connor...

(Connor gets tossed. Lilah flees, and is pursued. Wes suddenly pulls her aside.)

LILAH: Uh, oh, I don't understand. (weakened, she falls forward)

WESLEY: (catches Lilah and holds her up) Stay with me, Lilah.

LILAH: Why are you here?

WESLEY: I have a man on the inside. (sounds of metal clanging can be heard outside) What's that?

LILAH: Oh, it's the fat lady singing.

WESLEY: Lilah.

LILAH: The building automatically shuts down under full scale attack.

WESLEY: When you say shuts down...

LILAH: Windows, doors, air vents. Nobody gets in or out. Oh...

(The Beast knocks down the door to the office Wesley and Lilah are in. Wesley picks up Lilah and carries her out of the room in his arms.)

WESLEY: Stay with me. Come on, Lilah, there must be a way out for someone like you. Think. A back door, something.

LILAH: Around the corner, a supply closet. Why are you stopping for? (Wesley grabs a grenade from his bag) You gotta be kidding me. (Wes pulls the pin, and throws the grenade down the hallway toward the Beast, where it explodes.) Will it kill him?

WESLEY: No, it might distract him for a moment.

LILAH: (stops when she sees Gavin's body on the floor) Gavin. Poor bastard.

WESLEY: Lilah?

LILAH: It's in here. (points)

(... inside store room ...)

LILAH: Come on, where is it?

WESLEY: Are you sure this is the right closet?

LILAH: Yes. Third floor and lobby. (Lilah finds the lever) OK, here it is.

(they slide down the chute)

LILAH: Now what?

WESLEY: Now you disappear. You get patched up and leave town.

LILAH: Turn tail and run?

WESLEY: That thing won't quit 'til everyone at Wolfram and Hart is dead. Go underground, change your name. (turns, walks away) Don't make its job easy.

LILAH: Wesley...

(she looks like she's going to make an uncharacteristic declaration, possibly "I love you". But changes her mind and says instead:)

LILAH: Connor's trapped up inside.

WESLEY: What?

LILAH: I don't know if he's alive. He's in the third floor conference room. Not that there's a way back in, I just thought you should know.

(Wesley heads off, Lilah turns and limps away in the opposite direction)
