» » Ангел The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco (1999–2004)

Short summary

It turns out that the Wolfram & Hart mail guy is more than he seems. He and his brothers were once demon fighters. But, when he lost his family in battle, he gave up on being a Champion. When one of his old foes comes to town, though, he has to help Team Angel defeat it.

In flashback, an attorney gives Number 5 a Wolfram & Hart business card. If you look closely, on the bottom left hand side of the card, you can see the name of the lawyer, "Holland Manners, Associate Attorney." Holland Manners appears in season 1 of Angel (decades after the events in this flashback) as a senior attorney at Wolfram & Hart.

The flashback scenes take place in Los Angeles in 1953.

There is a flashback where one of the brothers answers the phone. What he says in Spanish translates to: "What? The devil built a robot?" Numero Cinco mentioned the incident with the Devil's Robot to Angel earlier in the episode.

This episode's plot is reminiscent of the "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" episode "Legacy of Terror". See also trivia for Angel Episode 5.7 "Lineage".
