Hero - 1ADH09
The Short: From the WB11 home
page: The Death of Doyle. Angel tells Doyle of his human experience, and
meeting the Powers That Be, but Doyle doesn't have much time to react
because work beckons. They soon find a group of half-breed demons and learn
the demon racist group, The Scourge, are in town and out for blood. They
conspire to rescue the half-demons: Angel goes undercover for the Scourge,
and Cordelia and Doyle arrange the half-demons' safe passage to an island.
When one of the half demons runs away, Doyle follows him and this delays the
departure. While Doyle is away, Cordelia learns of his true identity.
Meanwhile, on the inside, Angel learns the strategy to eliminate the
half-demon breed population: The Scourge have built a machine whose rays can
wipe out any human within a 1/4 mile radius. Angel soon escapes the Scourge
and goes to the ship to warn Doyle and Cordelia. He is followed by the
soldiers, who place the deadly machine on the ship. With the lives of dozens
in jeopardy, Angel and Doyle realize that one of them will have to die in
order to disconnect the beams. Though Angel protests, Doyle decides to make
the sacrifice. He engages Cordelia in a passionate
embrace, then meets the machine. He successfully disconnects it, then
dies.
We see that there is a clan of Brachen demons that all seem to be half-breed
demons. We learn that Brachen demons can dislocate their neck. They also are
reputed to have a good sense of direction.
The Baldwins are Long Island, New York, handsome-actor siblings. Most renowned of the four is the sardonic hunk Alec (b. 1958), whose marriage with troubled actress Kim Basinger has been as headline-prone as his political activity (voluble animal rights buff, Democrat) or his reasonably solid career (Glengarry Glen Ross [1992], Malice [1993], Heaven's Prisoners [1996] The Ghosts of Mississippi [1996]). In March 1996 Alec was acquitted of battery charges brought against him by Alan Zanger, a celebrity photographer whom Baldwin attempted, in October 1995, to prevent from videotaping the
Basinger-Baldwins with their new-born daughter, Ireland. Former Calvin Klein model William (b. 1963) can often be insufferably smug, as in the Sharon
Stone dud Sliver (1993), although he showed considerably more charm in his highly visible role with the Creative Coalition, an entertainment-community advocacy group, during the 1996 Republican and Democrat National Conventions. Stephen (b. 1967), the pup of the litter, is also a former
Klein mannequin, but is only sporadically employed as an actor (he graced 1994's bisexuality dud Threesome and the summer diversion Fled [1996], with Laurence Fishbourne). Last in looks, but not in talent, is Daniel (b. 1961), a stoic cast member of the gutsy television drama Homicide for three seasons until he left in June 1995. He went on to appear in Steve Buscemi's well-received, pathos-tinged, suburban nightmare Trees Lounge (1996).
