It was a trial run, an early experiment to work out the bugs, so to speak. I won't make that mistake again. I know where Angel is, and I know what he's looking for. He's wasting his time.
If you really believed that, you'd have killed us already.
“Peace Out” · Season 4
In this episode: Jasmine (5), Puppet Angel (4), Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (3), Connor (2), Charles Gunn (1), Fred (1), Lorne (1)
Too much trouble conquering a primitive dimension, wasn't it, Jasmine? Or whatever your name is. Must be nice for you that we have satellites to beam your message to the rest of the world.
You're not wrong.
Connor, what does Jasmine eat?
What?
The creature in the sewer. It called her the devourer. Devourer of what?
I don't know.
Don't You? The followers she randomly chooses to come to her room. The ones she sent to meet her in the banquet hall.
They're the banquet.
Wait. People? She eats people?
FFred
Oh, no.
To Serve Man. It's To Serve Man all over again.
FFred
And now she's going global.
HPHigh Priest
What is it you think you fight for, dead thing? Valor? What you call justice? Your friends are dead. Most likely. Or so you believe. So it's not for them you fight.
I'm trying to save my world!
HPHigh Priest
Your world. A world that doesn't care for you. Doesn't want you.
It needs me!
HPHigh Priest
So your Powers That Be tell you. Maybe they're right. But it's not why you're here.
Okay, Bugsy, you wanna tell me what I'm fighting for?
HPHigh Priest
Him.
Him?
HPHigh Priest
The boy. The woman you've already lost. The boy is what you're fighting for. But you're going to fail. You're going to lose him too.
Jasmine, it's over. You've lost.
I've lost? Do you have any idea what you've done?
What I had to do.
No. No, Angel. There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices. I offered paradise. You chose this!
Because I could. Because that's what you took away from us. Choice.
And look what free will has gotten you.
Hey, I didn't say we were smart. I said it's our right. It's what makes us human.
But you're not human.
Working on it.
[Jasmine turns to walk away]
Where you going?
Leave me alone.
Sorry, but... can't do that.
What? You've taken everything. You're gonna try to kill me now, as if you could.
Maybe not. But I'll die before I let you hurt anyone else.
You're already dead!
You know what I mean. It ends right here.
Why do you hate me so much?
Let's run down the list, huh? Rain of fire, blotting out the sun, enslaving mankind, and, yeah, oh, yeah, hey, you eat people!
Like you never have?
Thousands of people are dead because of what you've done.
And how many will die because of you? I could've stopped it, Angel. All of it. War, disease, poverty. How many precious, beautiful lives would've been saved in a handful of years? Yes, I murdered thousands to save billions. This world is doomed to drown in its own blood now.
The price was too high, Jasmine. Our fate has to be our own, or we're nothing.
Like me?
Look, we've all done horrible things. All we can do is try and make up for it. So, OK, you know, it's not the world that you wanted, but maybe you can still help us make it better, even if you have lost your powers.
Not all of them.
[Jasmine punches Angel so hard that it sends him flying over the edge of the bridge. He lands on a car hood. Jasmine, still on the bridge, picks up a station wagon.]
Think the price was too high? You haven't begun to pay!
[She throws a station wagon over the bridge, it snaps a power line before crashing into the street and exploding. Jasmine jumps off the bridge, lands on her feet, and walks menacingly toward Angel.]
Maybe you're right. Maybe I can still make this world a better place. One body at a time. I loved this world. I sacrificed everything I was to be with you.
So you could rule us?
Because I cared. The other Powers don't. Never really did. You know that's true in your heart. Shame now I gotta rip it out.
[She reaches for Angel, but he grabs the end of the power line and electrocutes Jasmine with the live end. The electricity sends her back a few feet, but doesn't hurt her. She walks back toward Angel.]
I was forged in the inferno of creation, vampire. Do you really think a little electricity would destroy me?
Worth a shot.
Go to hell.
You first, baby.
[Forces Angel into a kiss.]
Always the same, dad. I get a girl, you gotta make a play for her.
[Jasmine lets up on the kissing.]
