"Sacrifice" is episode 20 of season 4 in the television show Angel.
Connor, unaffected by Jasmine's blood (which enabled Angel and his gang to discover the truth about Jasmine), threatens them all, but Angel shuts the door on him, letting the others escape through the fire escape. Connor pounds on the door while he proclaims how he won't give up the opportunity he has now—being a part of something. Angel barges out into the hall and begins to pound Connor into unconsciousness, then as Fred and the others bring the car around on the street, Angel and Connor come flying out of the window. Angel gets in the car and orders Wesley to drive, even as Jasmine and her followers approach. They listen to a radio announcer reporting that the mayor has named L.A. a “citadel of Jasmine.” In addition, all Catholic churches in L.A. are removing “false idols” and replacing them with images of Jasmine. The gang discuss the fact that the universe owes them a break. Upstairs in Jasmine's suite, Jasmine has several of her followers undress and then come to her while a badly-beaten Connor wakes from his unconsciousness. Restored by feeding on her followers, Jasmine heals Connor then reassures him that they'll deal with Angel and the others.
Wesley pulls up at a gas station and the gang talk about their plan to get the gas quickly and avoid the bystanders. Gunn knocks out a man getting ready to fill his car with gas and steals the pump while Wesley backs the car into place. While Gunn fills the car with gas, the others are attacked by people at the station speaking with Jasmine's voice. Once the car is filled, they all take off, but police cars and other followers chase after them. Leaving the car behind, Angel leads the others down into the sewers and lets them have a minute to rest. Fred remembers that they left Cordelia behind, but Angel tells her and the others to forget about Cordelia and let go of their emotions that Jasmine controlled them through. The gang continues through the sewer tunnel, unaware that something with red eyes watches them.
Connor sits by Cordelia's side and talks with Jasmine about what the others did to Cordy. Jasmine asks him to leave her alone with Cordelia and he does. As they walk through the sewers, the gang talk about Cordelia and how easy life was when they were blind followers to Jasmine. Angel and Wesley suddenly fall through the floor, but Wesley's caught by Gunn before he can hit the ground. A group of young kids point sticks and makeshift spears at the gang. Connor goes to check on Jasmine, but finds that Cordelia's no longer on the bed. Jasmine explains that Cordy's in a safe place where her blood can't be used as a threat. Angel flies out of the hole and the others disarm the kids, but Angel calls off any efforts to hurt them. One of the kids recognizes Gunn and turns out to be Golden, the younger brother of one of Gunn's former crew members. Something causes their surrounding to shake and the youngest of the crew, Matthew, warns that it's back.
