LAST WEEK ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER...
IT'S THAT BLOODY SLAYER. WHENEVER I TURN AROUND, SHE'S MUCKING UP THE WORKS.
I NEED TO BRING IN THE BIG GUNS... THE ORDER OF TARAKA.
THE BOUNTY HUNTERS? ISN'T THAT OVERKILL?
NO. I THINK IT'S JUST ENOUGH KILL.
IT'S A SOCIETY OF DEADLY ASSASSINS.
Buffy: THESE ASSASSINS, WHY ARE THEY AFTER ME?
Xander: BUFFY COULD BE IN TROUBLE.
I'M GONNA CHECK UPSTAIRS. BUFFY!
GOOD DAY. I'M NORMAN PFISTER.
EASTERN EXPOSURE. THE SUN WILL BE COMIN' IN A FEW HOURS.
THE KEY TO YOUR CURE, DUCKS, WAS...
RIGHT IN FRONT OF US THE WHOLE TIME.
WHO ARE YOU?
WHO AM I? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
I'M KENDRA, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.
OK...ONE MORE TIME. YOU'RE THE WHO?
I AM THE SLAYER.
NICE COVER STORY, BUT HERE'S A TIP.
YOU MIGHT WANNA TRY IT
ON SOMEONE WHO'S NOT THE REAL SLAYER.
YOU CAN'T STOP ME.
EVEN IF YOU KILL ME,
ANOTHER SLAYER WILL BE SENT TO TAKE ME PLACE.
COULD YOU STOP WITH THE SLAYER THING? I'M THE DAMN SLAYER!
NONSENSE.
THERE IS BUT ONE, AND I AM SHE.
OK...A SCENARIO:
YOU BACK OFF... I'LL BACK OFF...
BUT YOU PROMISE NOT TO GO ALL WIGGY
UNTIL WE CAN GO TO MY WATCHER AND FIGURE THIS OUT.
WIGGY?
YOU KNOW, NO KICKO, NO FIGHTO.
I ACCEPT YOUR SCENARIO.
SO...YOU WERE SENT HERE?
YES...BY MY WATCHER.
TO DO WHAT, EXACTLY?
TO DO MY DUTY.
I'M HERE TO KILL VAMPIRES.
YOUR WATCHER IS SAM ZABUTO, YOU SAY?
YES, SIR.
WE'VE NEVER MET, BUT HE'S VERY WELL-RESPECTED.
WHAT, SO HE'S A REAL GUY, AS IN NON-FICTIONAL?
AND YOU ARE CALLED?
I AM THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.
WE GOT THAT PART, HONEY. HE MEANS YOUR NAME.
OH. THEY CALL ME KENDRA.
I HAVE NO LAST NAME, SIR.
CAN YOU SAY "STUCK IN THE EIGHTIES"?
BUFFY, PLEASE.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOME MISUNDERSTANDING HERE.
HEY!
IDENTIFY YOURSELF.
BACK OFF, PINK RANGER.
THIS IS MY FRIEND.
FRIEND?
YEAH, AS IN PERSON YOU HANG WITH? AMIGO?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU TRY. I'M TAPPED.
KENDRA, THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE--
CIVILIANS, IF YOU LIKE-- WHO KNOW BUFFY'S IDENTITY.
WILLOW IS ONE OF THEM, AND THEY ALSO SPEND TIME TOGETHER, SOCIALLY.
AND YOU ALLOW THIS, SIR?
WELL--
BUT THE SLAYER MUST WORK IN SECRET FOR SECURITY.
OF COURSE, BUT WITH BUFFY, HOWEVER,
IT'S, UM-- SOME FLEXIBILITY IS REQUIRED.
WHY?
HI, GUYS. WHAT'S GOING ON?
APPARENTLY, THERE'S BEEN A REALLY BIG MIX-UP.
IT SEEMS, SOMEHOW, THAT ANOTHER SLAYER HAS BEEN SENT TO SUNNYDALE.
IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
I MEAN, 2 SLAYERS AT THE SAME TIME?
NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
THE NEW SLAYER IS ONLY CALLED
AFTER THE PREVIOUS SLAYER HAS DIED.
GOOD LORD...
YOU WERE DEAD, BUFFY.
I WAS ONLY GONE FOR A MINUTE.
CLEARLY, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG YOU WERE GONE.
YOU WERE PHYSICALLY DEAD,
THUS CAUSING THE ACTIVATION OF THE NEXT SLAYER.
SHE DIED?
JUST A LITTLE.
SHE DROWNED, BUT SHE WAS REVIVED.
SO THERE REALLY ARE TWO OF THEM.
IT SEEMS SO. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNPRECEDENTED.
I'M REALLY QUITE FLUMMOXED.
WHAT'S THE FLUM? IT'S A MISTAKE.
SHE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. SHE GOES HOME.
LOOK, NO OFFENSE, I REALLY DON'T MEAN THIS PERSONALLY,
BUT I'M NOT DEAD, AND FRANKLY, HAVING YOU AROUND
CREEPS ME OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT.
I CANNOT JUST LEAVE.
I WAS SENT HERE FOR A REASON.
MR. ZABUTO SAID ALL THE SIGNS INDICATE
THAT A VERY DARK POWER IS ABOUT TO RISE IN SUNNYDALE.
AND WHAT'S YOUR GREAT PLAN FOR FIGHTING THIS DARK POWER?
YOU JUST GONNA ATTACK PEOPLE RANDOMLY UNTIL YOU FIND A BAD ONE?
OF COURSE NOT.
THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU ATTACK ME?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE A VAMPIRE.
OH. A SWING AND A MISS FOR THE ROOKIE.
I HAD GOOD REASON TO THINK YOU WERE.
DID I NOT SEE YOU KISSING A VAMPIRE?
BUFFY WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
OH...EXCEPT FOR... SOMETIMES YOU DO THAT.
BUT ONLY WITH ANGEL. RIGHT?
YES, RIGHT.
LOOK, YOU SAW ME WITH ANGEL,
AND HE IS A VAMPIRE, BUT HE'S GOOD.
ANGEL? YOU MEAN ANGELUS.
I'VE READ ABOUT HIM. HE IS A MONSTER.
NO, NO, NO. HE'S GOOD NOW.
REALLY.
HE HAD A GYPSY CURSE.
HE HAS A WHAT?
JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, OK?
HE'S ON THE HOME TEAM NOW.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU.
HE LOOKED TO ME JUST LIKE ANOTHER ANIMAL WHEN I--
WHEN YOU WHAT?
WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?
I--
WHAT DID YOU DO?
[LOCK OPENING]
UHH!
THERE YOU GO, FRIEND.
HE'LL BE AS GOOD AS NEW IN A DAY OR SO.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. WE HAD A DEAL, RIGHT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER, WILLY? DON'T YOU TRUST ME?
OH, YEAH. LIKE A BROTHER.
TALK, AND I'LL HAVE YOUR GUTS FOR GARTERS.
WILD HORSES COULDN'T DRAG IT.
OOPS. SORRY, FRIEND.
WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO WITH HIM ANYWAY?
I'M THINKING... MAYBE DINNER AND A MOVIE.
I DON'T WANT TO RUSH INTO ANYTHING.
I'VE BEEN HURT, YOU KNOW?
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN RAISIN?
I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T THINK SO,
BUT I'M BOTH A WINTER AND A SUMMER.
9.99, TAX INCLUDED.
YOU SAID THAT ALREADY.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN THE BERRY FAMILY?
ARE THERE MORE LADIES IN THE HOUSE?
OH, NO. THEY'RE NOT HOME.
YOU KNOW, NOTHING PERSONAL,
BUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO SELLING DICTIONARIES OR...
HEY, WHAT'S UP?
UH, HE'S A SALESMAN, AND HE WAS JUST LEAVING, RIGHT?
UH, OK. BYE-BYE. THANK YOU.
OK, MARY KAY, TIME TO--
TIME TO RUN. WHAA!
AAH!
FIND SOMETHING TO COVER THE CRACK UNDER THE DOOR.
UH...HERE! I DON'T DO WORMS.
COVER ME.
UGH...EWW...
ANGEL?
NO ASHES.
WHAT?
WHEN A VAMPIRE COMBUSTS, HE LEAVES ASHES.
I KNOW THE DRILL.
SO I DID NOT KILL HIM.
AND I DON'T NEED TO KILL YOU.
WHOA! THERE'S A LOT OF TENSION IN THIS ROOM.
UHH!
DOESN'T ANYONE JUST SAY HELLO WHERE YOU COME FROM?
THIS ONE IS DIRTY. I CAN FEEL IT.
THAT'S REALLY GOOD FOR YOU, PERCEPTO GIRL,
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA GET ANYTHING OUT OF HIM
IF HE'S, OH, SAY, UNCONSCIOUS.
WHERE'S ANGEL?
MY BUDDY ANGEL?
YOU THINK I'D LET HIM FRY?
I SAVED HIM IN THE NICK.
HE WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES AWAY
FROM BEING A CRISPY CRITTER.
WHERE'D HE GO?
UH, HE SAID HE WAS GONNA STAY UNDERGROUND.
YOU KNOW, RECUPERATE.
ARE YOU TELLING ME THE TRUTH?
I'D SWEAR ON MY MOTHER'S GRAVE...
SHOULD SOMETHING FATAL HAPPEN TO HER, GOD FORBID.
THEN HE IS ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN RETURN TO YOUR WATCHER FOR OUR ORDERS.
I DON'T TAKE ORDERS. I DO THINGS MY WAY.
NO WONDER YOU DIED.
LET'S GO.
I HAVE TO ASK.
HAS EITHER OF YOU GIRLS CONSIDERED MODELING?
I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A CAMERA--
STRICTLY HIGH-CLASS NUDE WORK.
YOU KNOW, ART PHOTOGRAPHS, BUT NAKED.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER RIGHT AWAY.
MMM.
I WAS DREAMING.
OF WHAT, PET?
WE WERE IN PARIS.
YOU HAD A BRANDING IRON.
I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.
AND THERE WERE WORMS IN MY BAGUETTE.
YOUR SIRE, MY SWEET.
ANGEL?
THE ONE AND ONLY.
NOW ALL WE NEED IS THE FULL MOON TONIGHT.
AND HE WILL DIE AND YOU WILL BE FULLY RESTORED.
MY BLACK GODDESS.
MY RIPE, WICKED PLUM.
IT'S BEEN...
FOREVER.
SPIKE, LET ME HAVE HIM.
HMM?
UNTIL THE MOON.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU CAN PLAY, BUT DON'T KILL HIM.
HE MUSTN'T DIE TILL THE RITUAL.
BRING HIM TO ME.
YOU'VE BEEN A VERY BAD DADDY.
KENDRA, I'VE CONFERRED WITH YOUR WATCHER, MR. ZABUTO.
AND, UH, WE BOTH AGREE THAT, UH,
UNTIL THIS MATTER WITH SPIKE AND DRUSILLA HAS BEEN RESOLVED,
THAT YOU TWO SHOULD WORK TOGETHER.
OH, THAT'LL BE A TREAT.
SO YOU BELIEVE THAT SPIKE
IS ATTEMPTING TO REVIVE THIS DRUSILLA TO HEALTH?
YES, WELL, I THINK THAT'S THE DARK POWER THAT YOUR WATCHER REFERRED TO.
YOU SEE, DRUSILLA'S NOT ONLY EVIL.
SHE'S ALSO QUITE MAD.
AND IF SHE'S RESTORED TO HER FULL HEALTH,
THEN, UH, WELL, THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO TELLING WHAT SHE MIGHT DO.
THEN WE WILL STOP SPIKE.
OH, GOOD PLAN. LET'S GO. CHARGE!
BUFFY.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT, JOHN WAYNE.
YES, I'M AFRAID IT IS.
YOU SEE, SPIKE HAS ALSO CALLED OUT THE ORDER OF TARAKA
TO KEEP BUFFY OUT OF THE WAY.
THE ASSASSINS?
I READ OF THEM IN THE WRITINGS OF DRAMIUS.
OH, REALLY? WHICH VOLUME?
I BELIEVE IT WAS 6, SIR.
UM, HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?
FROM MY STUDIES.
SO, OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME.
I STUDY BECAUSE IT IS REQUIRED.
THE SLAYER HANDBOOK INSISTS ON IT.
THERE'S A SLAYER HANDBOOK?
WAIT. HANDBOOK? WHAT HANDBOOK?
HOW COME I DON'T HAVE A HANDBOOK?
IS THERE A T-SHIRT, TOO?
'CAUSE THAT WOULD BE COOL.
AFTER MEETING YOU, BUFFY, I REALIZED THAT, UH,
THE HANDBOOK WOULD BE OF NO USE IN YOUR CASE.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WOULD BE OF NO USE IN MY CASE?
WHAT--WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CASE?
KENDRA, PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO SHOW ME THE PART IN DRAMIUS 6
WHERE IT REFERS TO THE ORDER OF TARAKA.
I MUST ADMIT, I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET THROUGH THAT BOOK.
IT'S A BIT STODGY.
IT WAS DIFFICULT. ALL THOSE FOOTNOTES.
HELLO AND WELCOME TO PLANET POCKET PROTECTOR.
OH, UH, BUFFY,
PRINCIPAL SNYDER WAS SNOOPING AROUND AFTER YOU.
EEE, CAREER FAIR.
YOU'D BEST MAKE AN APPEARANCE, I THINK.
RIGHT.
BUFFY'S A STUDENT HERE?
YES.
RIGHT, OF COURSE.
AND I IMAGINE SHE'S A CHEERLEADER, AS WELL.
Giles: WELL, ACTUALLY, SHE HAD TO GIVE UP HER CHEERLEADING.
IT WAS QUITE AN AMUSING STORY, ACTUALLY.
LET'S GO AND FIND THE BOOK, SHALL WE?
GET A LOAD OF THE SHE-GILES.
CREEPY.
EEW.
BET GILES WISHES I WAS MORE OF A BOOK GEEK.
GILES IS ENOUGH OF A BOOK GEEK FOR THE BOTH OF YOU.
YEAH, BUT DID YOU SEE HOW THEY WERE VIBING?
VOLUME 6. HA HA HA.
BUFFY, NO ONE COULD REPLACE YOU.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE GILES' FAVORITE.
I WONDER.
OF COURSE YOU WILL.
YOU'RE HIS SLAYER. THE REAL SLAYER.
NO. I WONDER IF IT WOULD BE SO BAD BEING REPLACED.
YOU MEAN, LIKE, LETTING KENDRA TAKE OVER?
MAYBE. I MEAN, MAYBE AFTER THIS THING
WITH SPIKE AND THE ASSASSINS IS OVER,
I CAN SAY, "KENDRA, YOU SLAY. I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND."
BUT NOT FOREVER, RIGHT?
NO. DISNEYLAND WOULD GET BORING AFTER A FEW MONTHS.
BUT I COULD DO OTHER STUFF.
CAREER DAY STUFF.
MAYBE I COULD EVEN HAVE A NORMAL LIFE.
COULD YOU SIT DOWN OR CHANGE YOUR PATTERN OR SOMETHING?
YOU'RE MAKING ME QUEASY.
BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST SITTING THERE.
YOU SHOULD BE THINKING UP A PLAN.
I HAVE A PLAN. WE WAIT. BUFFY SAVES US.
HOW WILL SHE EVEN KNOW WHERE TO FIND US?
CORDELIA, THIS IS BUFFY'S HOUSE. ODDS ARE SHE'LL FIND US.
WELL, WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
JUST WASTE AWAY DOWN HERE WITH YOU? OH, NO THANK YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SEE IF HE'S GONE.
THAT'S BRILLIANT. WHAT IF HE ISN'T?
OH, RIGHT. YOU THINK WE SHOULD JUST SLACK HERE
AND HOPE THAT SOMEBODY ELSE DECIDES TO BE A HERO?
SORRY. FORGOT I WAS STRANDED WITH A LOSER!
AND YET, I NEVER FORGOT THAT I'M STUCK WITH THE NUMB-BRAIN
WHO LET MR. MUTANT IN THE HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
HE LOOKED NORMAL!
WHAT, IS HE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN ARROW
WITH THE WORD ASSASSIN OVER HIS HEAD?
ALL IT TOOK WAS THE PROSPECT OF A FREE MAKEOVER
AND YOU LICKED HIS HAND LIKE A BIG, DUMB DOG!
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GOING.
I'D RATHER BE WORM FOOD THAN LOOK AT YOUR PATHETIC FACE.
THEN GO. I'M NOT STOPPING YOU.
I BET YOU WOULDN'T.
I BET YOU'D LET A GIRL GO OFF TO HER DOOM ALL BY HERSELF.
NOT JUST ANY GIRL. YOU'RE SPECIAL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M STUCK SPENDING WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE
MY LAST FEW MOMENTS ON EARTH HERE WITH YOU!
I HOPE THESE ARE MY LAST MOMENTS.
3 MORE SECONDS WITH YOU AND I'M GONNA--
I'M GONNA WHAT? COWARD!
MORON!
I HATE YOU!
WE SO NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
UH-HUH.
HE'S GONE.
AAH!
[CORDELIA SCREAMS]
OH, MY GOD! TAKE THEM OFF OF ME! GET THEM OFF!
GET THEM OFF OF ME!
OH, MY GOD! GET THEM OFF OF ME! AAH!
OH, MY GOD!
[SCREAMING]
OK! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
XANDER, LET'S GO!
OK. OOH!
SO MY TESTS SAY THAT I SHOULD LOOK INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT.
DUH! AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN.
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN? THAT'S LANDSCAPING, RIGHT?
I CHECKED THE SHRUB BOX.
BUT LANDSCAPING WAS YESTERDAY, SO LAW ENFORCEMENT IT IS.
HEY, WILL, DON'T LOOK, OK? BUT--NO, DON'T LOOK.
THAT GUY OVER THERE IS TOTALLY CHECKING YOU OUT.
OH, THAT'S OZ.
HE'S EXPRESSING COMPUTER NERD SOLIDARITY.
REALLY? THEN WHY IS HE ON HIS WAY OVER HERE RIGHT NOW?
TOLD YOU.
Oz: HEY. HEY.
YOUR HAIR IS BROWN.
YEAH, SOMETIMES.
SO, UH, DID YOU DECIDE?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE A CORPORATE COMPUTER SUIT GUY?
OH, WELL, I THINK I'M GOING TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL FIRST.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I'M NOT REALLY A COMPUTER PERSON, YOU KNOW.
OR A WORK OF ANY KIND PERSON.
THEN WHY'D THEY SELECT YOU?
WELL, I SORT OF TEST WELL.
YOU KNOW, WHICH IS COOL.
EXCEPT THAT IT LEADS TO JOBS.
WELL, DON'T YOU HAVE SOME AMBITION?
OH, YEAH, YEAH. E-FLAT DIMINISHED NINTH.
HUH?
WELL, THE E-FLAT, IT'S DO-ABLE,
BUT IT'S THAT DIMINISHED NINTH, YOU KNOW,
IT'S A MAN'S CHORD.
YOU COULD LOSE A FINGER.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP AND ANSWER WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME.
BUFFY SUMMERS!
Buffy: GET DOWN! Oz: LOOK OUT!
HA!
HE'S--HE'S SHOT!
ARE YOU OK?
I, UM, I'M SHOT, YOU KNOW.
WOW!
IT'S ODD...
AND PAINFUL.
SHE'S GONE.
WAS THAT A DEMONSTRATION?
SHE WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE TARAKA GANG, GILES.
AND WAY GUN HAPPY.
THIS, UM, OZ CHAP, HE'S ALL RIGHT?
THE PARAMEDIC SAID IT WAS ONLY A SCRAPE.
THANK GOODNESS.
DOWN, GIRL!
WHO SPONSORED CAREER DAY TODAY?
THE BRITISH SOCCER FAN ASSOCIATION?
WE HAD A RATHER VIOLENT VISIT FROM THE ORDER OF TARAKA.
YOU WANT TO TALK ORDER OF TARAKA?
WE JUST MET THE KING FREAK OF THE--HELLO.
Giles: OH, FORGIVE ME. XANDER, CORDELIA, THIS IS KENDRA.
IT'S RATHER COMPLICATED, BUT SHE'S ALSO A SLAYER.
HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.
A SLAYER, HUH?
I KNEW THIS "I'M THE ONLY ONE,
I'M THE ONLY ONE" THING WAS JUST AN ATTENTION-GETTER.
JUST SAY HELLO, XANDER.
WELCOME. SO YOU'RE A SLAYER, HUH?
I LIKE THAT IN A WOMAN.
I--I HOPE--
I THANK YOU.
I MEAN, SIR, UM...
I WILL BE OF SERVICE.
GREAT! GOOD.
IT'S GOOD TO BE A GIVER.
XANDER, THIS, UH, ASSASSIN YOU ENCOUNTERED,
WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?
OH!
OH, MY GOD. I'M SHOWERING!
LIKE THAT.
YOU AND BUG PEOPLE, XANDER.
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
NO, BUT THIS DUDE WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN PRAYING MANTIS LADY.
HE WAS A MAN OF BUGS. NOT A MAN WHO WAS A BUG.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT EVERYBODY'S ALL RIGHT.
STILL, IT'S QUITE APPARENT THAT WE'RE UNDER SERIOUS ATTACK.
THESE TARAKA ARE DEFINITELY SERIOUS.
FORTUNATELY FOR ME, SO IS KENDRA.
AND I FEEL THE WORST IS YET TO COME.
I'VE--I'VE DISCOVERED THE REMAINING KEYS TO DRUSILLA'S CURE.
THE RITUAL REQUIRES THE PRESENCE OF HER SIRE,
AND IT MUST TAKE PLACE IN THE CHURCH ON THE NIGHT OF THE NEW MOON.
THE NEW MOON? BUT THAT IS TONIGHT.
EXACTLY, AND I'M SURE THE ASSASSINS WERE HERE
TO KILL BUFFY BEFORE SHE COULD PUT A STOP TO THINGS.
THEY NEED DRUSILLA'S SIRE.
YOU MEAN THE VAMP THAT MADE HER?
YES.
BUFFY, WHAT IS IT?
ANGEL.
HE'S DRUSILLA'S SIRE.
MAN, THAT GUY GOT MAJOR NECK IN HIS DAY.
WILL THIS RITUAL KILL HIM?
YES, I'M AFRAID IT WILL.
WE NEED TO FIND THIS CHURCH.
WE NEED TO FIND WHERE THIS RITUAL IS GONNA TAKE PLACE.
AGREED. AND WE MUST WORK QUICKLY.
WE HAVE 5 HOURS BEFORE SUNDOWN.
DON'T WORRY, BUFFY. WE'LL SAVE ANGEL.
ANGEL. BUT OUR PRIORITY IS TO STOP DRUSILLA.
ANGEL'S OUR FRIEND.
EXCEPT I DON'T LIKE HIM.
LOOK, YOU'VE GOT YOUR PRIORITIES, AND I'VE GOT MINE.
RIGHT NOW, THEY MESH.
SO ARE YOU GONNA HELP ME,
OR ARE YOU GONNA GET OUT OF MY WAY?
I'M WITH YOU.
GOOD. 'CAUSE I'VE HAD IT.
SPIKE IS GOING DOWN.
YOU CAN ATTACK ME, YOU CAN SEND ASSASSINS AFTER ME.
THAT'S FINE.
BUT NOBODY MESSES WITH MY BOYFRIEND.
MY MOMMY ATE LEMONS...
RAW.
SHE SAID SHE LOVED THE WAY THEY MADE HER MOUTH...TINGLE.
LITTLE ANNE.
HER FAVORITE WAS CUSTARD.
BRANDIED PEARS.
DRU--
SHH!
AND POMEGRANATES.
THEY USED TO MAKE HER FACE AND FINGERS ALL RED.
AAAGGGHH!
REMEMBER LITTLE FINGERS?
LITTLE HANDS?
DO YOU?
IF I COULD--
BITE YOUR TONGUE.
THEY USED TO EAT CAKE AND EGGS AND HONEY...
UNTIL YOU CAME
AND RIPPED THEIR THROATS OUT.
AAAAHHHH!
THERE ARE 43 CHURCHES IN SUNNYDALE?
THAT SEEMS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.
IT'S THE EXTRA-EVIL VIBE FROM THE HELLMOUTH.
MAKES PEOPLE PRAY HARDER.
WELL, CHECK TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM ARE CLOSED OR ABANDONED.
YEAH, YEAH, WE GOT MONSTERS, WE GOT DEMONS,
BUT NO BUG DUDE OR POLICE LADY.
WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH THIS ONE.
THERE'S A WHOLE SECTION DEVOTED TO THE ORDER OF TARAKA.
AND THOSE TWO, THEY ALSO KNOW YOU ARE THE SLAYER?
YEP.
DID ANYONE EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT SECRET IDENTITY MEANS?
NOPE. MUST BE IN THE HANDBOOK.
RIGHT AFTER THE CHAPTER ON PERSONALITY REMOVAL.
BE CAREFUL WITH THAT THING.
PLEASE. I'M AN EXPERT IN ALL WEAPONS.
Giles: IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, IT'S OK.
KENDRA KILLED THE BAD LAMP.
SORRY.
THIS, UH, TRIGGER MECHANISM IS DIFFERENT.
PERHAPS WHEN THIS IS OVER,
YOU CAN, UH, SHOW ME HOW TO WORK IT.
WHEN THIS IS OVER, I'M THINKING PINEAPPLE PIZZA
AND TEEN VIDEO MOVIE FEST.
POSSIBLY SOMETHING FROM THE RINGWALD OEUVRE.
OH, HERE WE GO.
I AM THE BUG MAN, COO-COO KA-CHOO.
OK. OK.
HE CAN ONLY BE KILLED
WHEN HE'S IN HIS DISASSEMBLED STATE.
DISASSEMBLED.
THAT MEANS WHEN HE'S BROKEN DOWN INTO HIS LITTLE BUGGY PARTS.
I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, DORK HEAD.
DORK HEAD? YOU SLASH ME WITH YOUR WORDS.
YOUR LIFE IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN MINE.
YOU MEAN THE PART WHERE I OCCASIONALLY HAVE ONE?
YEAH, I GUESS IT IS.
THE THINGS YOU DO AND HAVE, I WAS TAUGHT,
DISTRACT FROM MY CALLING.
FRIENDS, SCHOOL...
EVEN FAMILY.
EVEN FAMILY?
MY PARENTS, THEY SENT ME TO MY WATCHER WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG.
HOW YOUNG?
I DON'T REMEMBER THEM, ACTUALLY.
I'VE SEEN PICTURES, BUT, UH,
THAT'S HOW SERIOUSLY THE CALLING IS TAKEN BY MY PEOPLE.
MY MOTHER AND FATHER GAVE ME TO MY WATCHER
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT THEY WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR ME
AND FOR THE WORLD.
PLEASE. I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR MESELF.
WHY SHOULD YOU?
I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS IT JUST SOUNDS VERY LONELY.
EMOTIONS ARE WEAKNESS, BUFFY.
YOU SHOULDN'T ENTERTAIN THEM.
KENDRA, MY EMOTIONS GIVE ME POWER.
THEY'RE TOTAL ASSETS.
MAYBE FOR YOU,
BUT I PREFER TO KEEP AN EVEN MIND.
HMM. I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS IT.
EXPLAINS WHAT?
OH, WELL, WHEN WE WERE FIGHTING. YOU'RE AMAZING.
YOUR TECHNIQUE, IT'S FLAWLESS. IT'S BETTER THAN MINE.
I KNOW.
STILL, I WOULD HAVE KICKED YOUR BUTT IN THE END.
AND YOU KNOW WHY?
NO IMAGINATION.
REALLY? YOU THINK SO.
OH, I KNOW SO.
YOU'RE GOOD, BUT POWER ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH.
A GOOD FIGHTER NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TO IMPROVISE,
TO GO WITH THE FLOW.
SERIOUSLY, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
YOU REALLY DO HAVE POTENTIAL.
POTENTIAL?
I COULD WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOU RIGHT NOW.
THAT WOULD BE ANGER YOU'RE FEELING.
WHAT?
YOU FEEL IT, RIGHT?
HOW THE ANGER GIVES YOU FIRE.
A SLAYER NEEDS THAT.
EXCUSE ME, LADIES.
NICE KNIFE.
I'M GUESSING DATING ISN'T BIG WITH YOUR WATCHER, EITHER.
I'M NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK WITH BOYS.
UNLESS YOU'RE PUMMELING THEM.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT?
THAT GUY.
THE SLEAZOID YOU NEARLY DECKED IN THE BAR.
YOU THINK HE MIGHT HELP US?
I THINK WE MIGHT MAKE HIM.
SAY UNCLE.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KILLED MY UNCLE.
THAT'S IT, THEN. OFF TO CHURCH.
IT MAKES PRETTY COLORS.
I'LL SEE HIM DIE SOON ENOUGH.
I'VE NEVER BEEN MUCH FOR THE PRE-SHOW.
TOO BAD.
THAT'S WHAT DRUSILLA LIKES BEST, AS I RECALL.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
ASK HER.
SHE KNOWS WHAT I MEAN.
WELL?
SHH. RRRUFF. BAD DOG.
YOU SHOULD LET ME TALK TO HIM, DRU.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BOY COULD USE SOME POINTERS.
SHE LIKES TO BE TEASED.
KEEP YOUR HOLE SHUT!
TAKE CARE OF HER, SPIKE.
THE WAY SHE TOUCHED ME JUST NOW,
I CAN TELL WHEN SHE'S NOT SATISFIED.
I SAID SHUT UP!
OH! OR MAYBE YOU TWO JUST DON'T HAVE THE FIRE WE HAD.
THAT'S ENOUGH.
SPIKE, NO!
OH, RIGHT. RIGHT! YOU ALMOST GOT ME.
AREN'T YOU A "THROW HIMSELF TO THE LIONS" SORT OF SAP THESE DAYS.
WELL, THE LIONS ARE ON TO YOU, BABY.
IF I KILL YOU NOW,
YOU GO QUICK, AND DRU HASN'T GOT A CHANCE.
AND IF DRU DIES...
YOUR LITTLE REBECCA OF SUNNYHELL FARM
AND ALL HER MATES ARE SPARED HER COMING-OUT PARTY.
SPIKE, THE MOON IS RISING. IT'S TIME.
TOO BAD, ANGELUS.
LOOKS LIKE YOU GO THE HARD WAY.
ALONG WITH THE REST OF THIS MISERABLE TOWN.
AAH! HONEST! I DON'T KNOW WHERE ANGEL IS.
WHAT ABOUT THIS RITUAL? WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?
NOTHING. IT'S ALL HUSH-HUSH.
JUST HIT HIM, BUFFY.
SHE LIKES TO HIT.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE I DID HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT THIS RITUAL.
YEAH, IT'S COMING BACK TO ME.
BUT, UH, I'D HAVE TO TAKE YOU THERE.
LET'S GO.
FIRST, WE MUST RETURN TO THE WATCHER.
EXCUSE ME?
WHILE WE RUN TO GILES, THIS WHOLE THING COULD GO DOWN.
BUT IT IS PROCEDURE.
IT'S BRAINLESS, YOU MEAN.
IF WE DON'T GO NOW, ANGEL COULD DIE.
IS THAT ALL YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?
YOUR BOYFRIEND.
NO, IT'S NOT ALL, BUT IT'S ENOUGH.
IT'S AS I FEARED.
HE CLOUDS YOUR JUDGMENT.
WE CAN'T STOP THIS RITUAL ALONE.
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? HE COULD DIE.
HE'S A VAMPIRE. HE SHOULD DIE.
WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO SEES IT?
ARE YOU THAT BIG A FOOL?
GOOD RIDDANCE, THEN.
HERE YOU GO.
DON'T EVER SAY YOUR FRIEND WILLY
DON'T COME THROUGH IN A PINCH.
HERE YOU GO.
DON'T EVER SAY YOUR FRIEND WILLY DON'T COME THROUGH IN A PINCH.
ELIGOR, I NAME THEE.
BRINGER OF WAR,
POISONERS, PARIAHS,
GRAND OBSCENITY.
ELIGOR, WRETCHED MASTER OF DECAY,
BRING YOUR BLACK MEDICINE. COME.
RESTORE YOUR MOST IMPIOUS,
MURDEROUS CHILD.
FROM THE BLOOD OF THE SIRE, SHE IS RISEN.
FROM THE BLOOD OF THE SIRE
SHE SHALL RISE AGAIN.
AAH!
RIGHT, THEN.
NOW WE JUST LET THEM COME TO A SIMMERING BOIL,
THEN REMOVE TO A LOW FLAME.
IT'S PAYDAY, PAL.
I GOT YOUR SLAYER.
ARE YOU TRIPPING?
YOU BRING HER HERE NOW?
YOU SAID YOU WANTED HER.
IN THE GROUND, PINHEAD. I WANTED HER DEAD.
NOW, THAT'S NOT WHAT I HEARD.
WORD WAS THERE WAS A BOUNTY ON HER DEAD OR ALIVE.
YOU HEARD WRONG, WILLY.
ANGEL...
YEAH, IT BUGS ME, TOO,
SEEING HIM LIKE THAT.
ANOTHER 5 MINUTES, THOUGH,
AND ANGEL WILL BE DEAD,
SO I FOREBEAR.
DON'T FEEL TOO BAD FOR ANGEL, THOUGH.
HE'S GOT SOMETHING YOU DON'T HAVE.
WHAT'S THAT?
5 MINUTES. PATRICE.
WHO THE HELL IS THIS?
IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY, SPIKE.
2 SLAYERS.
NO WAITING.
HEY, LARVA BOY.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. I'M TALKING TO YOU, YOU BIG COOTIE.
WELCOME, MY LITTLE PRETTIES.
SWITCH!
I'D RATHER BE FIGHTING YOU, ANYWAY.
MUTUAL.
DIE! DIE! DIE!
I THINK HE DID, CORDY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
NOW THERE'S A WAY IN WHICH THIS ISN'T MY FAULT.
OH, THEY TRICKED YOU.
MM-HMM. THEY WERE DUPLICITOUS.
WELL, THEN, I'LL ONLY KILL YOU JUST THIS ONCE.
SPIKE!
HOLD HIM STEADY.
AAH!
THAT'S ME FAVORITE SHIRT!
THAT'S ME ONLY SHIRT!
LOOK OUT!
SORRY, BABY, WE GOTTA GO.
HOPE THAT WAS ENOUGH.
I'M GOOD.
HI.
LET'S GET HIM OUT.
CAREFUL.
COME ON.
OH, HEY. ANIMAL CRACKER?
NO, THANK YOU.
HOW'S YOUR ARM?
SUDDENLY PAINLESS.
YOU CAN STILL PLAY THE GUITAR OK?
WELL, NOT WELL, BUT NOT WORSE.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER REALLY THANKED YOU.
OH, YEAH, PLEASE, DON'T. I DON'T DO THANKS. I GET ALL RED.
HAVE TO BAIL. IT'S NOT PRETTY.
WELL, THEN, FORGET THAT THING,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE PART WHERE I KIND OF OWE YOU MY LIFE.
OH, LOOK, A MONKEY.
AND HE HAS A LITTLE HAT
AND LITTLE PANTS.
YEAH, I SEE.
THE MONKEY'S THE ONLY COOKIE ANIMAL
THAT GETS TO WEAR CLOTHES. YOU KNOW THAT?
YOU HAVE THE SWEETEST SMILE I'VE EVER SEEN.
SO I'M WONDERING, DO THE OTHER COOKIE ANIMALS
FEEL SORT OF RIPPED?
LIKE IS THE HIPPO GOING, "HEY, MAN, WHERE ARE MY PANTS?
I HAVE MY HIPPO DIGNITY."
AND, YOU KNOW, THE MONKEY'S JUST,
[FRENCH ACCENT] "I MOCK YOU WITH MY MONKEY PANTS."
AND THERE'S A BIG COUP IN THE ZOO.
[GIGGLES]
THE MONKEY IS FRENCH?
ALL MONKEY'S ARE FRENCH. YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?
NO.
WE NEED TO TALK.
OK. HERE'S THE DEAL.
WE DON'T HAVE TO RUN EVERY TIME WE SEE EACH OTHER IN THE HALL.
RIGHT. OK.
WHY SHOULDN'T WE RUN?
WHAT HAPPENED. THERE'S A TOTAL EXPLANATION FOR IT.
YOU'RE A PERVERT?
ME?
YEAH.
NO, NO, NO, I SEEM TO RECALL
I WAS THE JUMPEE, MY FRIEND.
AS IF. YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR MONTHS.
RIGHT. I HIRED A LATVIAN BUG MAN TO KILL BUFFY
SO I COULD KISS YOU.
I HATE TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE,
BUT YOU DON'T INSPIRE ME
TO SPRING FOR A DINNER OVER AT BUCKY'S FONDUE HUT.
FINE. WHATEVER.
YOU KNOW, THE POINT IS...
DON'T TRY IT AGAIN.
I DIDN'T TRY IT!
FORGET ABOUT THE BUGS, OK?
THE MEMORY OF YOUR LIPS ON MINE MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD.
IF YOU DARE BREATHE A WORD OF THIS--
LIKE I WANT ANYONE TO KNOW.
THEN IT'S ERASED.
NEVER HAPPENED.
GOOD. GOOD.
THANK YOU FOR THE SHIRT. IT WAS VERY GENEROUS OF YOU.
HEY, IT LOOKS BETTER ON--
WELL, ME, BUT NO WORRIES.
NOW, WHEN YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT...
I GET ON THE PLANE WITH ME TICKET
AND SIT IN A SEAT, NOT THE CARGO HOLD.
VERY GOOD.
THAT IS NOT TRAVELING UNDERCOVER.
EXACTLY. RELAX. YOU EARNED IT.
YOU SIT IN YOUR SEAT, YOU EAT YOUR PEANUTS,
YOU WATCH THE MOVIE-- WELL, UNLESS IT'S ABOUT A DOG OR CHEVY CHASE.
I'LL REMEMBER.
I, UM...
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR HELPING ME SAVE ANGEL.
I'M NOT TELLING ME WATCHER ABOUT THAT.
IT IS TOO STRANGE THAT A SLAYER LOVES A VAMPIRE.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
STILL, HE IS PRETTY CUTE.
WELL, MAYBE THEY WON'T FIRE ME FOR DATING HIM.
YOU ALWAYS DO THAT.
DO WHAT?
YOU TALK ABOUT SLAYING LIKE IT'S A JOB.
IT'S NOT. IT'S WHO YOU ARE.
DID YOU GET THAT FROM YOUR HANDBOOK?
FROM YOU.
I GUESS IT'S SOMETHING I REALLY CAN'T FIGHT.
I'M A FREAK.
NOT THE ONLY FREAK.
NOT ANYMORE.
I DON'T HUG.
RIGHT. NO. GOOD. HATE HUGS.
DON'T WORRY, DEAR HEART.
I'LL SEE THAT YOU GET STRONG AGAIN.
LIKE ME.
GRR! ARGH!
