[Angel pays Lilah a visit in her car.]
Lilah. I just had to drop by and congratulate you on your big promotion. Co-vice president of the special projects. Wow. That's super. You deserve it. Yeah. That and.. so much more.
But you know what the real special part is? To think that maybe in a small way I helped make it happen for you. Makes me feel all good inside.
How-how do you expect us to succeed when you handcuff us with these idiotic rules protecting Angel?
[Lilah casually edges a couple of steps away from Lindsey.]
NNathan
I'm sorry. Did you say something?
Angel is an obstacle to everything that we do. Give me one good reason why we can't just kill him!
[Nathan steps up close to Lindsey.]
NNathan
Because Angel is a major player.
NNathan
In the apocalypse.
NNathan
The prophecies all agree that when the final battle is waged, he plays a key role.
NNathan
Which side he's on is the gray area, and we're gonna continue making it as gray as possible.
NNathan
Until then, his growing obsession with the two of you, the increasing possibility that to scratch that itch, he'll go so far as to kill you... Well, that could actually play in the firm's favor.
[Lilah stares at him with a frown.]
NNathan
It would be a sign that Angel is on the path to joining our team. And as hard as it is to lose good attorneys, well the truth is - you are both expendable.
[Smiles at them, then turns dead serious.]
