(Present day, Cordelia's apartment)

WESLEY: The hotel officially closed its doors on December 16th 1979. On that morning the concierge, Roland Meeks, made his morning wake-up calls with a twelve gauge shotgun, room to room. It's been empty ever since.

CORDELIA: According to city records it was declared a protected historical landmark. The Property Management Company that owns it has been trying to unload it for ten years - no buyers.

WESLEY: Mmm, no wonder. Even a cursory inspection of these records indicates a storied legacy of murder and mayhem dating back to the hotel's construction in '28, when a roofer leapt to his death taking two coworkers with him.

CORDELIA: Yeah that's really interesting. What are we doing?

WESLEY: Doing?

CORDELIA: Yes! You did notice that Angel neglected to tell us the, for instance, point of all this.

WESLEY: Ah, well, I mean - clearly, he has us compiling incidents - ah, arranging data, organizing information in such a way that... (Cordelia raises her eyebrows) Yes, I-I did notice that, the no point thing. Frankly I haven't the slightest idea what to do with all this. (Cordelia is looking through old photographs) We could make a collage - or a mobile.

CORDELIA: Wesley! Look who was staying here in '52.

WESLEY: Well. Now we know one thing for certain.

CORDELIA: Yep. It's not that vampires don't photograph, it's just that they don't photograph *well*.

WESLEY: I mean: we know that Angel had a personal connection to this place.

CORDELIA: So, why didn't he just tell us?

WESLEY: Perhaps he was ashamed to.
