captures from this scene

(Illyria prepares for a spell. It seems to fizzle out)

KNOX: Is that it?

(She slaps her hand onto the sarcophagus, and a substance starts to creep out from it, up her arm, across her body, clothing her)

KNOX: (drooling) Yeah. Uh... yeah.

ILLYRIA: I'm ready to begin.

(Angel walks into the lab, followed by Spike, Wesley, Gunn, and some guards armed with machine guns)

ANGEL: Or we could just hang out.

ILLYRIA: A warrior. I was beginning to wonder if this world was void of your kind.

SPIKE: Plenty of us to go 'round, luv.

ILLYRIA: 2 half-breeds and a band of primitives. Is this all that challenges me now?

ANGEL: That, and a whole lot of bullets.

WESLEY: Enough to temporarily incapacitate even you.

ANGEL: We know what you are, Illyria. We've seen the rest of your kind. All the old ones, sealed away forever, like you were. Where you should've stayed. You've taken something of ours, something very precious. Stand down and I promise we won't destroy you taking it back. Your choice.

ILLYRIA: I decline.

(Illyria grabs Angel and throws him through the lab window. he keeps flying, through the exterior window, towards the ground outside.)

GUNN: Take her!

(Illyria waves her hand, and time slows for her attackers. She grabs Knox roughly and walks between them. Cut to her exiting the building, Knox still in tow, Angel still falling above her. As she walks out of frame, time resumes its normal rate, and Angel crashes to the ground, coughing blood.)
