Alison: Wow. You -- you mind telling me how you did that?
Rafe: What?
Alison: That bird -- it was dead. You put it in your hands and you brought it back to life.
Rafe: That bird was just hurt a little and i -- I helped it.
Alison: You have some sort of special powers, don't you?
Rafe: You know, you should forget about what you saw or thought you saw.
Alison: Who are you, Rafe? What are you?
Alison: You're not like the rest of us, are you?
Rafe: Well, you know, I just know a few magic tricks. You know, makes me a hit at the parties.
Alison: No, rafe. What i saw was no magic show. Ok, I saw this -- this light and this energy just flowing from you.
Rafe: Yeah, well, the sun got in your eyes.
Alison: No. I've seen that. I've seen that light before. It was that night at the monastery. And jack thought that I was dead after that tree branch hit me. And then you helped me.
Rafe: You just got lucky, that's all.
Alison: No, I remember the way you touched me. Oh, my god. I was dead, and you brought me back to life, just like that bird.
Rafe: Uh -- you know what? Can we just drop this?
Alison: No, wait! I was a goner, wasn't I? I -- i was a goner! Oh, my god. This is not happening, alison. This --
Rafe: Ow!
Alison: Oh! Ok, I'm sorry. You are so real. You are just as real as I am. Only -- only you -- you, like, bring things back to life with this really pretty light and this really cool energy. Only i thought that only god could do stuff like that, you know, and -- oh, my god, are you him?
Rafe: No.
Alison: Oh, good, because if it was judgment day --
Rafe: Of course not. I -- look, i would love to answer all your questions, but I can'T.
Alison: Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok. All right. I get it. Ok, why don't I just sort of, you know, throw out some guesses, ok, and if I'm right, you don't have to tell me but just sort of give me a look.
Rafe: Ok, that might work.
Alison: Ok. So we've ruled out that you are not god. Ok, so did you come from some sort of, like, spaceship? I mean, are you, like, mr. Spock or something?
Rafe: No.
Alison: No. Ok. Are you some sort of healer?
Rafe: You know what? This is just trouble. Let's go.
Alison: Wait, wait! Ok, wait! Just -- I'm getting warmer, I can see it, ok? Just -- if you're not god, then did you come from the same zip code? I mean, are you -- are you, like, from heaven?
Rafe: Alison, don't do this.
Alison: Oh, my god, you are! I can see it in your eyes! I know what you are now with -- with the light and the miracles and the whole bringing-people-back-to-life thing. I know what you are. You're an angel.
Alison: Wow. So an angel, huh?
Rafe: If you're looking for wings, forget it. We travel light these days.
Alison: Right. So are you my own personal guardian angel?
Rafe: Not exactly, but I wouldn't turn down the job.
Alison: Ok, so wait. Why are you here? I mean, is it like having a genie in a bottle? Do i get to, like, make wishes and stuff, or what?
Rafe: You know what? Don't believe the hype. It doesn't quite work like that.
Alison: Ok, I'm sorry. It's just I don't really know how to act around an angel, you know? I mean, you're sort of my first.
Rafe: Right.
Alison: I mean, I've always, like, believed in them and everything, and I've always thought they were really -- really there. Oh, no.
Rafe: What's wrong?
Alison: I kissed you. Wait -- am i going to get in, like, big trouble because of that? Because I -- i didn't mean to.
Rafe: Sit down before you pass out.
Alison: Yes, but you could revive me if i did.
Rafe: Look, it was a perfectly harmless, perfectly nice kiss. And you know what? I would be the one who would get in trouble anyway because no one's supposed to know what i am.
Alison: But you didn't tell me. I mean, I guessed. So you're safe, right?
Rafe: Yeah. Must be. I'm still here. Didn't get called up to the principal's office.
Alison: Yeah, that's a relief. Ok, so -- look, I know what you did for the bird, and I know what you did for me. What else can you do?
Rafe: You know, contrary to what I said before, this isn't really a magic trick.
Alison: Please, please, just, like, one teeny, tiny little thing, just anything, right -- i mean, you don't have to, like, move a mountain or something, unless -- unless you really want to --
Rafe: Ok, ok, ok, fine. One thing. Mm-hmm. What's your favorite flower?
Alison: Pink roses.
Rafe: Oh. You mean like this one?
Alison: Oh, that's so cool! Oh. Oh, oh, I have something for you, too.
Rafe: I'm not really into flowers.
Alison: It's present day. No, I have -- I have your journal. Yeah. What is an angel doing walking around with a 10-year-old journal?
Rafe: Yeah, well, it's, you know, a souvenir of what my life was like before and --
Alison: Right. I'm sorry. Your -- your journal -- the last entry in it is April 12, 1991. Is that when you, you know -- yeah. How did it happen?
Rafe: Let's just say i was killed in the line of duty.
Alison: Oh, so then you were iced by a vampire. I mean, rafe, I know that you're a slayer, so it's sort of no secret.
Rafe: You know what? We're getting into dangerous territory here. I can't talk about this.
Alison: Wait, it was Caleb. Rafe, Caleb is -- is dead. So what are you doing here now?
Alison: Come on, rafe. I mean, it had to be caleb. So does this mean --
Rafe: It means that I've already told you all i can, more than I can, if you want to know the truth.
Alison: Well, come on, please! Ok, I have so many questions. I mean, what is heaven like? And do you guys run around with harps and stuff? Is that true? And I just have to know if the pearly gate thing is just real.
Rafe: Alison --
Alison: Please, I'm just curious. I'm sorry, i just want to know why you're here. You know -- angels have, like, missions and stuff?
Rafe: I asked you to trust me once. I need you to trust me again. Come here.
Alison: Ok. Ok, I mean, it's going to be hard, but I'll try.
Rafe: You know what? If having faith were easy, everyone would do it.
Alison: Right. Ok, I won't bug you. But I can't promise you what Jack and Jamal are going to do. I mean --
Rafe: No, no, no, no, no. You can't tell another living soul about this. I'll lose my gig.
Alison: What?
Rafe: You got to promise me.
Alison: Come on, i know and I talked and i kissed an angel, and I can't tell anyone? That's going to be hell. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, that's probably a very sensitive subject with you. That's stupid.
Rafe: Look, look, look, look. I saved your life. I need you to keep this secret. Ok? Fair enough?
Alison: Ok, that's fair. I mean, as long as you maybe sort of clue me in on what's going on.
Rafe: I can only say i'm here for a very urgent reason and things are going down real soon. Tonight. So i'll be in touch.
Alison: Ok. So something very bad is happening tonight, and i just had a conversation with an angel. Either this whole town is crazy or i am.
