PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.
GET DRESSED.
FINN STAYS IN THE BRIG.
HELPING AN HST ESCAPE IS A COURT-MARTIAL OFFENSE.
- YOU'RE ONLY GONNA MAKE MATTERS WORSE. - TALK LATER.
STEALTHY ESCAPE NOW.
BUFFY. IF I LEAVE NOW, I CAN'T EVER COME BACK.
SPIKE, I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.
YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM. I AM GOING TO HELP YOU WITH YOURS.
YOU HAVE TO BE WITH THE PERSON YOU L-LOVE.
I AM.
IT'S COMPLICATED BECAUSE OF TARA.
OH.
ARE YOU FREAKED?
I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOME STUFF...
ABOUT MY PAST.
AND IT'S NOT ALL STUFF THAT YOU'RE GONNA LIKE.
[ Man ] AND ON ANGEL.
YOU DIDN'T THINK I WAS GONNA FIND YOU, DID YOU?
- THIS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. - YOU'RE GONNA STOP ME?
- DON'T DO THAT. - FAITH, GO.
I HAVE SOMEONE IN MY LIFE NOW THAT I LOVE.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME ANYMORE, SO DON'T COME DOWN HERE WITH YOUR GREAT NEW LIFE...
AND EXPECT ME TO DO THINGS YOUR WAY.
GO HOME.
AND THE MEN?
THESE ARE EXCEPTIONAL BOYS.
THEIR CAPTURE RATIO JUST KEEPS INCREASING.
THEY'RE KEEPING IT TOGETHER.
MORALE IS A PROBLEM.
THE DEATH OF PROFESSOR WALSH, THE ESCAPE OF THE PROTOTYPE--
CONTROLLING THE HSTs IS GETTING HARDER.
WE HAVE SERIOUS OVERCROWDING IN THE CONTAINMENT AREAS.
QUITE A MESS.
IT'S NOT MY MESS, SIR.
I'M JUST HOLDING THE FORT WHILE YOU FIGURE OUT
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE PLACE.
THIS INCIDENT WITH FINN WAS UNFORTUNATE.
FELL IN WITH A BAD CROWD.
QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T THINK HE WAS EVER THE SOLDIER
THAT YOU ALL HOPED HE WAS.
BOY THINKS TOO MUCH.
NEVERTHELESS, WE WANT HIM BACK.
THE GOVERNMENT'S INVESTED A SUBSTANTIAL--
WE'LL CATCH UP TO HIM.
MY FEELING IS HE WON'T STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE GIRL.
YES, UH...
BUFFY SUMMERS.
OUR DATA BANKS DON'T HAVE MUCH ON HER.
SHE'S JUST A GIRL.
SHE'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
SLAYER'S DANGEROUS, IS ALL I'M SAYING.
YES, SHE MAKES THINGS INTERESTING.
NO. SEE, YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT, MR. BITS.
YOU'RE GONNA BE INTERESTINGLY DEAD.
LITTLE MISS TINY'S GOT THE HABIT OF BOLLIXING UP THE PLANS
OF EVERY WOULD-BE UNSTOPPABLE BAD-ASS
WHO SETS FOOT IN THIS TOWN.
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, WHEN THE BIG UGLY GOES DOWN,
SLAYER'S GONNA BE RIGHT IN THE THICK OF IT.
YOU READY FOR THAT?
I'M COUNTING ON IT.
[ Adam ] 2 SLAYERS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND YOU KILLED THEM BOTH?
YEAH.
I KILLED THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
YET YOU FEAR THIS ONE.
HEY, WATCH IT, MATE.
I DON'T FEAR ANYTHING.
JUST KNOW MY ENEMIES.
DO YOU?
THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU KILLED THIS SLAYER YET?
BECAUSE...
STINKING ROTTEN LUCK IS WHY.
ON TOP OF THAT, NOW I'VE GOT THIS BUGGERING CHIP UP MY HEAD.
YES, YOUR BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION CIRCUITRY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL.
NOT LIKELY.
YOU FEEL SMOTHERED.
TRAPPED LIKE AN ANIMAL.
PURE IN ITS FEROCITY.
UNABLE TO ACTUALIZE THE URGES WITHIN.
CLINGING TO ONE TRUTH,
LIKE A FLAME, STRUGGLING TO BURN WITHIN AN ENCLOSED GLASS.
THAT A BEAST THIS POWERFUL CANNOT BE CONTAINED.
INEVITABLY, IT WILL BREAK FREE AND SAVAGE THE LAND AGAIN.
I WILL MAKE YOU WHOLE AGAIN, MAKE YOU SAVAGE.
WOW.
I MEAN, YEAH.
I GET WHY THE DEMONS ALL FALL IN LINE WITH YOU.
YOU'RE LIKE TONY ROBBINS,
IF HE WAS A BIG, SCARY, FRANKENSTEIN-LOOKING--
YOU'RE EXACTLY LIKE TONY ROBBINS.
I WILL RESTORE YOU TO WHAT YOU ONCE WERE...
WHEN I HAVE THE SLAYER HOW AND WHERE I WANT HER.
[ Sighs ] EASIER SAID.
SHE'S CRAFTY.
HER AND HER LITTLE FRIENDS.
FRIENDS.
THERE'S YOUR--
WHAT YOU CALL IT-- VARIABLE.
THE SLAYER'S GOT PALS.
YOU WANT HER EVENING THE ODDS IN A FIGHT,
YOU DON'T WANT HER SLAYERETTES MUCKING ABOUT.
TAKE THEM AWAY FROM HER.
WELL, THERE'S A PLAN.
SHE'S WORKING SOLO, SHE WON'T HAVE A CHANCE
TO COME AFTER US WHEN THE WILD RUMPUS BEGINS.
[ Chuckles ]
PLUS, IT'LL MAKE HER MISERABLE,
AND I NEVER GET TIRED OF THAT.
YEAH.
LEAVE 'EM TO ME.
YOU CAN'T HURT THEM.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE OUT OF THE PICTURE?
NOT A BLESSED THING.
THEY'RE GONNA DO IT FOR ME.
[ Riley ] YOU KNOW IF SHE'S BACK YET?
[ Xander ] L.A. WOMAN? HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER.
SHE'LL PROBABLY COME HERE FIRST THING, THOUGH.
HEY, WHO'S YOUR BUDDY?
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE G.I. JOE
WHILE YOUR CIVVIES ARE GETTING WASHED.
TRY THOSE ON.
YOU'LL FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN.
WOULD THIS MAN HAVE A BRIGHT RED NOSE AND BIG, FLOPPY FEET?
HEY, SORRY. THAT'S THE CABIN FEVER TALKING.
BUT AS POST-APOCALYPSE SPLENDOR GOES--
I'VE DONE WONDERS WITH THE PLACE.
STILL, THE SOONER BUFFY GETS BACK, THE BETTER I'LL FEEL.
YOU AND ME BOTH, BIG GUY.
I TAKE IT YOU'RE NOT AN ANGEL FAN, EITHER.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HATE THE GUY.
JUST, YOU KNOW, THE GUTS PART OF HIM.
CAN'T BLAME YOU.
BUT TO BE FAIR, IT'S NOT HIM YOU HATE.
IT'S THE CURSE.
RIGHT?
WHAT DID BUFFY TELL YOU?
ABOUT ANGEL?
EVERYTHING. MORE THAN I WANTED TO KNOW SOMETIMES.
SHE LOVED HIM.
HE TURNED EVIL. HE...KILLED PEOPLE.
SHE CURED HIM.
HE LEFT.
INTERESTING LITTLE CURSE.
ONE MOMENT'S HAPPINESS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU KNOW, IT'S HIS TRIGGER.
ANGEL'S AN OKAY GUY
IF HE'S MOPEY AND SAD AND BROODING.
BUT YOU GIVE HIM EVEN ONE SECOND OF PURE, REAL PLEASURE--
AND THAT SETS HIM OFF.
ONLY IN THE BIG OLD "KILL YOUR FRIENDS" KIND OF WAY.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES ANGEL HAPPIEST?
I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.
IT'S NOT CRèME BRULEE.
BUFFY.
SEX WITH BUFFY.
SHE KIND OF LEFT THAT PART OUT, HUH?
YEAH, SHE DID.
THAT EXPLAINS A LOT OF THINGS
THAT I WISH WEREN'T EXPLAINED.
HEY, MAN, THAT'S ALL ANCIENT HISTORY.
SHE WENT RUNNING TO L.A. TO BONE UP ON HER HISTORY.
NO. I'M SURE IT'S BONELESS.
SHE JUST NEEDS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
SHE'S PROBABLY BACK ALREADY.
MAYBE.
YOU'LL FEEL A LOT BETTER WHEN YOU SEE HER.
I GUESS WE'LL SEE.
♪ IF I LEAVE HERE TOMORROW ♪
♪ WOULD YOU STILL REMEMBER ME? ♪
♪ WELL, I MUST BE TRAVELING ON NOW ♪
♪ THERE'S TOO MANY PLACES I'VE GOT TO SEE ♪
♪ AND IF I STAY HERE WITH YOU, GIRL ♪
♪ THINGS JUST COULDN'T BE THE SAME ♪
♪ 'CAUSE I'M AS FREE AS A BIRD NOW ♪♪
YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEONE WHO'S GOT "WATCHER" ON HIS RESUME,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO CAST AN EYE TO THE FRONT DOOR EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
AH! KNEW I LEFT ONE.
BUFFY AROUND?
WHY?
I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE LADY OF THE HOUSE.
BE A PET AND GIVE HER A MESSAGE FOR ME, WOULD YOU?
TELL HERE I JUST MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING SHE JUST MIGHT WANT.
AND WHAT MIGHT THAT SOMETHING BE?
INFORMATION.
HIGHLY CLASSIFIED.
NOT CHEAP, WORD-ON-THE-STREET PRATTLE, EITHER.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD STUFF NOW.
THRILL ME.
IT'S NOTHING I KNOW.
WHAT, YOU THINK I'D COME RUNNING OVER
SAYING, "I'VE GOT A SECRET. BEAT ME TILL I TALK"?
THERE'S FILES IN THE INITIATIVE.
I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHERE.
FILES?
YEAH, SECRETS.
MISSION STATEMENTS, DESIGN SCHEMATICS.
ALL OF MAGGIE WALSH'S DIRTY LAUNDRY,
WHICH I GUESS WOULD INCLUDE LOTS OF TIDBITS ABOUT--
ADAM.
WELL, YEAH.
SAY SOMEONE WAS TO RISK HIS LIFE AND LIMB--
WELL, LIMB, ANYWAY-- TO OBTAIN SAID FILES,
MIGHT BE WORTH A LITTLE SOMETHING.
AT THIS POINT, A CYNICAL PERSON MIGHT THINK
THAT YOU ARE OFFERING JUST WHAT WE NEED WHEN WE NEED IT MOST.
THAT PERSON'D BE RIGHT, RUPERT.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
AND IT WON'T BE CHEAP THIS TIME.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
YEAR'S SUPPLY OF BLOOD, GUARANTEED PROTECTION,
MERRY BUSHELS OF CASH,
AND MOST IMPORTANT,
A GUARANTEE THAT I'M NOT TO BE IN ANY WAY SLAIN.
DONE.
WITH A SMILE AND A NOD FROM YOU?
SORRY. NOT CLOSE TO GOOD ENOUGH.
THIS DEAL'S WITH THE SLAYER.
I'LL TELL HER.
OH, YOU'LL TELL HER?
GREAT COMFORT THAT!
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SHE'LL LISTEN TO YOU?
BECAUSE.
VERY CONVINCING.
I'M HER WATCHER.
I THINK YOU'RE NEGLECTING THE PAST TENSE THERE, RUPERT.
BESIDES, SHE BARELY LISTENED TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE IN CHARGE.
I'VE SEEN THE WAY SHE TREATS YOU.
AH, YES. HOW'S THAT?
VERY MUCH LIKE A RETIRED LIBRARIAN.
LOOK, I'VE GOT WHAT SHE WANTS
AS LONG AS SHE HAS WHAT I WANT.
SPREAD THE WORD.
SHE KNOWS WHERE TO FIND ME.
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
I KEEP THINKING,
"OKAY, THAT'S THE CUTEST THING EVER."
AND THEN SHE DOES SOMETHING CUTER
AND COMPLETELY RESETS THE WHOLE SCALE.
DID YOU SEE HER YAWN EARLIER?
YES.
I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE!
OH, I LOVE YOU, MISS KITTY FANTASTICO!
WE'VE GOT TO GET HER A REAL NAME.
IT'S SO COOL THAT SHE'S OURS.
UH, YOURS.
THAT SHE'S YOURS IS--IS COOL.
SHE CAN BE OURS IF YOU WANT.
YOU STILL NEED AN ELECTIVE.
HOW ABOUT...
SOPHOMORE-LEVEL PSYCHOLOGY?
OH...
KINDA PSYCHED OUT SINCE PROFESSOR WALSH.
MAYBE SOMETHING FUN, LIKE DRAMA.
I COULD BE DRAMATIC.
"YOU CANNOT HAVE MORE CATNIP!
YOU HAVE A CATNIP PROBLEM."
DEFINITELY DRAMA.
I HAVEN'T EVEN DEALT WITH THE HOUSING SITUATION YET.
HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING?
I HEAR THERE'S SOME...
OFF-CAMPUS PLACES THAT ARE WAY COOL
FOR GROUPS TO, YOU KNOW,
GO IN ON.
OH, I JUST FIGURED YOU'D BE DORMING IT UP WITH BUFFY AGAIN.
WE HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT IT.
I USED TO ASSUME WE'D BE ROOMIES THROUGH GRAD SCHOOL,
WELL INTO LITTLE OLD LADYHOOD, YOU KNOW,
CHEATING AT BINGO TOGETHER AND...
FORGETTING TO TAKE OUR PILLS.
BUT?
BUT...I DON'T KNOW.
IT HARDLY FEELS LIKE WE'RE ROOMIES NOW.
SHE'S BUSY WITH RILEY,
AND I'M GONE A LOT, TOO.
GUESS I SHOULD ASK HER.
[ Knock On Door ]
RILEY.
I GOT A LITTLE TIRED OF SITTING AROUND WAITING,
SO...
YOU JOINED THE CIRCUS?
XANDER TOOK MY CLOTHES TO CLEAN THEM,
LEFT ME THESE.
DOES HE, UH, HATE ME
IN SOME WAY I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YET?
I THINK I WOULD'VE ATTRACTED LESS ATTENTION
IN MY UNIFORM.
IS IT OKAY FOR YOU TO BE HERE?
YOU TELL ME.
I JUST MEANT WITH THAT GOVERNMENT BRANCH
HUNTING YOU DOWN AND ALL.
I'M GOOD.
IT TOOK ME AWHILE,
BUT I PATCHED INTO THEIR FREQUENCY.
CAN'T SNEAK UP ON A GUY IF HE'S LISTENING IN.
YOU'RE THE SNEAKIEST.
WHY THEY HIRED ME.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH. I JUST...
ANGEL KIND OF UPSET ME.
HOW?
IT'S NOT THAT INTERESTING.
GOT MY ATTENTION.
HE JUST SPUN MY HEAD A LITTLE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT'S JUST DECONSTRUCTING ANGEL CAN WAIT.
RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT TO GET OUT THERE AND PATROL
AND FIND ADAM.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT LATER.
IT'S THE PANTS, ISN'T IT?
IT'S OKAY. I COULDN'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY IN THESE THINGS, EITHER.
RILEY, IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T I GET OUT OF YOUR FACE?
YOU HAD A LONG TRIP.
LOOK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO.
IT'S OKAY.
BESIDES...
I HAVE TO RECHARGE THEM EVERY 2 HOURS,
OR THEY GO DEAD ON ME.
OKAY.
[ Door Closes ]
HERE. YOU SHOULD'VE JUST SAVED THE ENSEMBLE
FROM THE LAST TIME WE SNUCK INTO THE INITIATIVE.
I'M NOT A CLOTHING DELIVERY SERVICE.
WELL, HE IS, KIND OF.
HE DID RILEY YESTERDAY.
HELLO.
THIS IS JUST...
SWELL.
GOT TO SAY,
LIKING THIS QUITE A LOT.
KINDA CHANGES THE BALANCE OF POW--OW!
AKK! OH...
COME ON! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!
WOW. THAT CHIP IN YOUR HEAD
MEANS YOU CAN'T EVEN POINT A GUN?
HOW HUMILIATING.
DOESN'T WORK, ANYWAY.
IT'S A FAKE.
CAN'T EVEN POINT A DECORATIVE GUN?
GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICAN CHIPMANSHIP.
IT DOESN'T WORK?
WHAT ABOUT SELF-DEFENSE?
I'M TAKING A RISK HERE, YOU KNOW.
CAN I TELL YOU HOW MUCH I REALLY...
DON'T CARE?
ATTITUDE.
SEE HOW FAR THAT'LL TAKE YOU IN BOOT CAMP.
SAY, I HOPE YOU GET ONE OF THOSE
TOUGH-AS-NAILS DRILL SERGEANTS
WHO'S ONLY HARD ON THE MEN
'CAUSE HE'S TRYING TO KEEP THEM ALIVE
WHEN THE BULLETS START FLYING. I LOVE THAT STUFF.
BOOT CAMP? YEAH, LIKE I'D GO THERE.
WHAT, YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND? NOT GONNA JOIN?
YOU'RE JOINING THE ARMY?!
OKAY. 1--OW.
2--WHERE'D YOU GET THAT IDEA?
3--OW!
I'M NOT JOINING THE ARMY!
GOOD.
STOPPED THAT NONSENSE JUST IN TIME.
I WAS NEVER--
WHO'D YOU HEAR THIS FROM?
YOUR GIRLIE-MATES WERE TALKING.
SOMETHING ABOUT, UH... BEING ALL YOU CAN BE
OR ALL YOU CAN BE.
UH...HAVING A LAUGH.
FIGURED YOU WERE SIGNING UP.
SAY, HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING LARGER
IN THE... TOY GUN LINE?
ALL I CAN-- CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
LIKE I'M SOME SORT OF USELESS LUNK.
IT HAPPENS THAT I'M GOOD AT A LOT OF THINGS.
I HELP OUT WITH ALL KINDS OF...
STUFF.
I HAVE SKILLS AND...STRATAGEMS...
I'M VERY...
HELP ME OUT.
HE'S A VIKING IN THE SACK.
TERRIFIC. YOU DIDN'T HAVE THESE CLEANED
AFTER THE LAST TIME, DID YOU?
THIS IS SO LIKE THEM LATELY.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM AND THE COLLEGE LIFE.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT COLLEGE IS?
IT'S HIGH SCHOOL, ONLY WITHOUT THE ACTUAL GOING TO CLASS.
WELL...HIGH SCHOOL WAS KIND OF LIKE THAT, TOO,
BUT THE POINT IS,
I'M OUT THERE WORKING HARD TO MAKE A LIVING,
AND IT'S NOTHING BUT A HUGE JOKE TO THEM.
XANDER GOT FIRED FROM STARBUCKS.
XANDER GOT FIRED FROM THAT PHONE SEX LINE.
THEY LOOK DOWN ON YOU.
AND THEY HATE YOU.
BUT THEY DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME.
HEY, IT WAS JUST A LAUGH.
THERE'S NO NEED TO GO INSANE OVER IT.
IS ANYBODY TALKING TO YOU?
SIR, NO, SIR!
DON'T SHOOT.
GIVE ME A REASON NOT TO.
YOU'RE KILLING HUMANS NOW?
NOT YET.
BEATING YOU SENSELESS SHOULD DO JUST FINE.
I COULD HAVE A PATROL HERE IN UNDER A MINUTE.
SO HERE'S A PLAN: YOU GO YOUR WAY, I'LL GO MINE.
I'M CHECKING OUT THAT CAVE.
MY ORDERS EXACTLY.
ALONE?
WE'RE SPREAD A LITTLE THIN, SO YEAH.
FAMILY'S TEARING APART.
FAMILY.
WHAT KIND OF FAMILY ARE YOU,
THE CORLEONE?
WEREN'T UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP.
WHAT, NO GIRLS IN THE CLUB?
YOU THINK YOU'RE THE FIRST GIRLFRIEND RILEY'S EVER HAD?
SUCH A BIG HEAD ON THAT SKINNY LITTLE BODY.
NO, YOU'RE JUST THE FIRST ONE TO GET HIM TO COMMIT TREASON.
RILEY HAD A CAREER.
HE HAD A FUTURE TILL HE MET YOU, AND, YEAH,
I GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
A FUTURE.
A FUTURE DOING WHAT,
ILLEGAL EXPERIMENTS?
TORTURE? MURDER?
I GUESS KILLING SOMEONE ISN'T REALLY A PROBLEM FOR YOU.
LESS AND LESS. NOW WHY DON'T YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE BEFORE I--
TOUCH ME, AND YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT SLAYER STRENGTH IS LIKE.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU SHOWED ME, THEN.
[ Adam ] YES.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING.
GET OUT OF HERE!
NO--
NOT MOVING.
THANK YOU.
GO! GET OUT!
[ Buffy ] NO!
OH, GOD.
I THINK I LOST THE BUGGERS.
ANY LUCK WITH THE DISK?
OH...
TOOK WHAT THEY HAD.
SHOULD BE SOMETHING USEFUL ON ONE OF THEM.
HOPE SO.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
ANYTHING ABOUT ADAM.
ANY PROBLEMS GETTING IN AND OUT?
NO. A COUPLE OF 'EM MADE ME ON THE WAY OUT,
BUT I TOOK CARE OF THEM.
GAVE THEM A GOOD RUNNING-AWAY-FROM, DID YOU?
WELL, YEAH.
WHEN DO I GET PAID?
WHEN WILLOW TELLS ME
YOU'VE BROUGHT US SOMETHING USEFUL.
I COULD'VE GONE STRAIGHT
TO THE SLAYER, YOU KNOW.
I CUT YOU IN, LET YOU PRETEND
YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN CHARGE.
NOW YOU'VE GOT TO WAIT FOR RED'S PERMISSION
TO FINISH THE DEAL?
AS SOON AS WE SEE WHAT'S ON THE DISKS.
IT LOOKS LIKE GIBBERISH.
GIBBERISH?
THEY'RE ENCRYPTED.
OH, WONDERFUL.
CAN YOU FIX 'EM?
CRACK A GOVERNMENT ENCRYPTION CODE ON MY LAPTOP?
EASY AS REALLY DIFFICULT PIE.
YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY THE WHIZ THESE DAYS, EITHER.
GOD, I'M NEVER GONNA GET PAID.
I AM A WHIZ.
SHE IS A WHIZ.
IF EVER A WHIZ THERE WAS.
I--I JUST NEED SOME TIME.
NO. I JUST HEARD YOU WEREN'T...
YOUR MATES SAID
YOU WEREN'T PLAYING WITH COMPUTERS SO MUCH.
INTO THE NEW THING.
WHAT NEW THING?
YOU KNOW, YOU TWO...
THE WHOLE WICCA THING.
THEY--THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT?
COULD WE GET BACK TO BUSINESS HERE?
I'VE GOT A DEAL AT STAKE.
WHAT DID THEY SAY?
TALKING ABOUT IT'S A PHASE.
YOU'LL GET OVER IT.
WHAT?
WHO SAID THAT?
WAS IT BUFFY?
'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT SHE MEANS BY THAT.
NO, SHE WAS DEFENDING YOU.
'CAUSE XANDER SAID
YOU WERE JUST BEING TRENDY.
TRENDY?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GOING ON ABOUT.
PERSON WANTS TO BE A WITCH,
THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS.
I KNEW BUFFY WAS FREAKED.
YOU SHOULD TALK TO HER, 'CAUSE I'M SURE--
PRESSING BUSINESS, LADIES.
DON'T WANT TO GET SIDETRACKED.
STILL GOT YOUR MONSTERS TO FIGHT.
CELL CAPACITY'S MAXED OUT 3 DAYS AGO, SIR.
WE KEEP UP THIS PACE, THERE'LL BE NOWHERE LEFT
TO CONTAIN THE HOSTILES.
THEY'RE ANIMALS, LIEUTENANT.
WE PACK 'EM IN TILL WE'RE OUT OF ROOM,
THEN WE PACK 'EM IN SOME MORE.
THEY'RE GOING TO START TEARING EACH OTHER APART, SIR.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT SCENARIO.
[ Radio ] ...BACKUP. REQUEST IMMEDIATE BACKUP, OVER.
TEARING US APART OVER HERE. 2 MEN DOWN...
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE... MAYDAY, REPEAT...
MAYDAY!
[ Radio ] REQUESTING IMMEDIATE BACKUP.
WE'RE IN THE ALLEY NEAR THE SCHOOL BUILDING!
WHERE THE HELL IS... BACK! FALL BACK!
IT'S COMING THIS--
[ Squawking, Screeching ]
[ Groans ]
RILEY FINN.
I KNOW YOU?
WE HAVE A FRIEND IN COMMON.
ANGEL.
WELCOMING COMMITTEE YOUR IDEA?
WAY I HEARD IT,
YOU WERE ALL PEACEABLE NOW.
YOU DIDN'T BY ANY CHANCE
GO AND LOSE THAT PESKY SOUL AGAIN, DID YOU?
DON'T PUSH ME, BOY.
NOW, WHAT POSSIBLY COULD'VE HAPPENED WITH BUFFY...
THAT WOULD MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL?
THAT'D BE BETWEEN ME AND HER.
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
GOING TO SEE AN OLD GIRLFRIEND.
YOU REALLY THINK I'M GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN?
THINK YOU'RE GONNA STOP ME?
I SURELY DO.
[ Electric Buzz ]
[ Firing Taser ]
[ Vehicles Approaching ]
ANGEL.
HI.
CAN I COME IN?
I GUESS.
I NEED A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT.
OH. UM...
COME IN.
YOU'RE HURT.
YOU, TOO.
I'LL LIVE.
YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHO RAN YOUR FACE INTO THAT DOORKNOB?
NOT REALLY. IT'S NOT WORLD-IN-PERIL STUFF.
LET ME GUESS.
YOU THOUGHT OF SOMETHING ELSE REALLY HURTFUL TO SAY,
AND, WELL, YOU COULDN'T TELL ME ON THE PHONE
BECAUSE THE FUNNIEST PART IS THAT LOOK ON MY FACE--
BUFFY, PLEASE. I REALLY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I TOLD YOU
YOU WEREN'T COMING NEAR HER.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
THIS IS WHY YOU CAME?
NO. THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT.
RUNNING YOUR CAR INTO A TREE
IS AN ACCIDENT!
RUNNING YOUR FIST INTO SOMEBODY'S FACE IS A PLAN!
PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.
PUT THAT GUN DOWN.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I GOT LEFT,
SO I'M THINKING NOT.
HE ATTACKED 4 OF MY MEN, BUFFY.
I THINK HE'S UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS.
HE WON'T HURT ANYBODY. TELL HIM.
MIGHT HURT YOU.
OH, PLEASE TRY!
HUH! SOME THREAT. YOU CAN BARELY STAND.
MY TRIGGER FINGER FEELS OKAY.
YOU ACTUALLY SLEEP WITH THIS GUY?
OKAY, STOP IT! THAT IS ENOUGH.
I SEE ONE MORE DISPLAY OF TESTOSTERONE POISONING,
AND I WILL PERSONALLY PUT YOU BOTH IN THE HOSPITAL.
ANYBODY THINK I'M EXAGGERATING?
HE START--
RILEY...
I'M SORRY.
JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE SAFE.
I NEED TO TALK TO ANGEL FOR A MINUTE.
WHAT?
RILEY, PLEASE.
I'M NOT LEAVING THIS ROOM.
I MEAN IT.
I'M NOT MOVING A MUSCLE.
OKAY, I COME TO SEE YOU, TO HELP YOU,
AND YOU TREAT ME LIKE I'M JUST...YOUR EX.
WELL, TECHNICALLY-- SHUT UP!
AND THEN YOU ORDER ME OUT OF YOUR CITY,
AND THEN YOU COME HERE AND START POUNDING ON MY BOYFRIEND?
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW--
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER.
HEH. WELL...HEH HEH HEH.
AW, WELL.
HEH. IT'S, UH...
GOING PRETTY GOOD, DON'T YOU THINK?
SWELL.
YOU KNOW--HEH--I COULDN'T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.
THE WAY I SPOKE TO YOU--
I CAME TO APOLOGIZE. I HAD NO RIGHT.
AND RILEY?
I GOT JUMPED BY SOME SOLDIERS.
HE CAME IN IN THE MIDDLE.
AND HE WASN'T REAL FORTHCOMING WITH THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE.
I GET IT.
LOOK...
YOU WEREN'T ENTIRELY WRONG WHAT YOU SAID IN L.A.
WE DON'T LIVE IN EACH OTHER'S WORLDS ANYMORE.
I HAD NO RIGHT TO BARGE IN ON YOURS
AND MAKE JUDGMENTS.
I'M STILL SORRY.
THANK YOU.
AND NEXT TIME, I'LL APOLOGIZE BY PHONE.
THINGS ARE PRETTY TENSE AROUND HERE.
THEY REALLY ARE.
CAN I DO ANYTHING?
HONESTLY,
I THINK THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS--
OKAY.
IT MEANS A LOT THAT YOU CAME.
OH, AND...RILEY?
YEAH?
I DON'T LIKE HIM.
THANK YOU.
NOW THAT...WAS FUN.
YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL?
OH, EASIER THAN I THOUGHT IT'D BE, TOO.
YOU'RE SURE?
FEEL IT IN MY BONES.
IT'S, UH...CALL IT THE YOKO FACTOR.
DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE BEATLES.
I HAVE. I LIKE HELTER SKELTER.
WHAT A SURPRISE.
THE POINT IS, THEY WERE ONCE A REAL POWERFUL GROUP.
IT'S NOT A STRETCH TO SAY THEY RULED THE WORLD.
WHEN THEY BROKE UP, EVERYONE BLAMED YOKO,
BUT THE FACT IS, THE GROUP SPLIT ITSELF APART.
SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.
BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT IS WITH KIDS.
THEY GO OFF TO COLLEGE, THEY GROW APART.
WAY OF THE WORLD.
SO YOU SEPARATED THE SLAYER FROM HER FRIENDS. I'M PLEASED.
WELL, SINCE WE'VE GOT ALL OUR DUCKS IN A ROW
AND NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER,
GUESS IT'S TIME FOR THE GRAND PLAN, HUH?
YOU KNOW, THE ONE WHERE I GET THE CHIPECTOMY.
YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED, RIGHT?
NO. THERE'S ONE MORE THING.
HOW BAD ARE YOU HURT?
DUNNO YET. NIGHT'S STILL YOUNG.
RILEY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
FIGURED.
MAYBE YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN.
I'M FINE.
RILEY, I--
WAIT. ME FIRST.
BUFFY...I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN REALLY CLOSE.
AT LEAST I THOUGHT WE HAD.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ANGEL
OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM,
BUT ALL I ASK IS IF YOU'RE GONNA BREAK MY HEART,
DO IT FAST.
WHAT?
YOU THINK THAT ANGEL AND I...
DIDN'T YOU?
NO. OF COURSE NOT.
HOW CAN YOU EVEN ASK ME THAT?
I DON'T KNOW. XANDER SAID--
XANDER? OH, HE'S THE DEADEST MAN IN DEADONIA.
NO, IT'S NOT HIS FAULT.
I PRODDED, AND HE EXPLAINED HOW ANGEL WENT BAD.
THE TRIGGER.
OH.
AND AFTER THAT, I WENT A LITTLE NUTS, YOU KNOW.
I MEAN, ON THE ONE HAND, I SHOULD BELIEVE IN US,
BUT ON THE OTHER,
SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN BETWEEN EXES,
AND WHEN I SAW THAT HE WAS BAD...
HE'S...NOT BAD.
SERIOUSLY? THAT'S A GOOD DAY?
WELL, THERE YOU GO.
EVEN WHEN HE'S GOOD, HE'S ALL MR. BILLOWY COAT, KING OF PAIN,
AND GIRLS REALLY--
RILEY, STOP.
SEE? NUTS.
HAVE I EVER GIVEN YOU ANY REASON
TO FEEL THAT YOU CAN'T TRUST ME?
NO.
THEN WHY WITH THE CRAZY?
BECAUSE I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
RILEY.
I STILL HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING,
AND THERE'S NO EASY WAY TO--
JUST SAY IT.
FORREST IS DEAD.
I'M SO SORRY.
THERE WAS A FIGHT.
ADAM KILLED HIM.
I BARELY GOT AWAY.
I KNOW THERE'S NOTHING THAT I CAN SAY
THAT'S GONNA MAKE THIS BETTER,
BUT WE WILL FIND THIS THING AND DESTROY IT.
I HAVE TO GO.
ARE YOU SURE?
I HAVE TO GO NOW.
[ Door Closes ]
IT'S STILL ENCRYPTED.
WILLOW'S WORKING REALLY HARD ON IT.
OKAY. WELL, HOW LONG BEFORE YOU UN-CRYPT IT?
HOURS? DAYS MAYBE.
ANYONE SUGGESTING MONTHS WOULD NOT BE ACCUSED OF CRAZY TALK.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO LATIN?
AT LEAST WHEN THAT MADE NO SENSE, THE CHURCH APPROVED.
I CAN'T JUST WAIT AROUND, WIL.
THAT DISK IS NO GOOD TO ME UNLESS YOU CRACK IT SOON.
HEY! WE WORKED REALLY HARD GETTING THAT.
XANDER DELIVERED CLOTHING.
CHURCH APPROVED.
SORRY, YOU GUYS. WE'RE ON A CLOCK HERE.
OKAY, ADAM WAS AT THAT CAVE, SO MAYBE HE WAS THERE FOR A REASON.
I COULD GO BACK, SCOPE IT OUT,
TRACK HIM IF I HAVE TO.
RIGHT, AND THEN MAYBE YOU'LL GET LUCKY
AND HE'LL STILL BE THERE, AND HE CAN RIP YOUR ARMS OFF FOR YOU.
BUFFY, YOU CAN'T GO BACK ALONE.
YOU NEVER TRAIN WITH ME ANYMORE. HE'S GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS.
GILES.
SORRY. WAS IT A BIT HONEST? TERRIBLY SORRY.
SO SHE DOESN'T GO ALONE. GILES, WEAPONS ALL AROUND.
YOU'RE NOT GOING, XANDER.
YOU'D GET HURT.
OH...OKAY, YOU AND WILLOW GO DO THE SUPERPOWER THING.
I'LL STAY BEHIND AND PUTT AROUND THE BATCAVE WITH CRUSTY OLD ALFRED HERE.
AHH, NO, I AM NO ALFRED, SIR.
NO, YOU FORGET. ALFRED HAD A JOB.
WILLOW IS NOT GOING, EITHER. I'M DOING IT ALONE.
OH, GREAT. AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR NEW NO ARMS,
WE CAN ALL SAY, "GEE, IT'S A GOOD THING
WE WEREN'T THERE GETTING IN THE WAY OF THAT."
RIGHT. MAYBE WE CAN HELP IN OTHER WAYS.
WANT SOME FIGHTING PANTS, BUFF? I CAN GET YA SOME NEW FIGHTING PANTS.
YOU GUYS, THIS ISN'T HELPING.
OH, WOW, WE'RE ALREADY GETTING IN THE WAY.
WE'RE PRETTY GOOD AT THIS, XANDER, HUH?
RIGHT, I'M SO GOOD AT IT, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SHIP ME OFF TO THE ARMY
TO GET ME OUT OF THE WAY!
THE ARMY?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW I KNEW ABOUT THAT, DID YA?
YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT ME BEHIND MY BACK.
US TALKING ABOUT YOU?
HOW ABOUT YOU TELLING RILEY
EVERY LAST DETAIL ABOUT MY LIFE WITH ANGEL?
BESIDES, WHEN IS THERE ANY "US TWO"?
YOU TWO ARE THE TWO WHO ARE THE TWO.
I'M THE OTHER ONE.
UH-HUH, BUT MAYBE THAT ALL CHANGES
WHEN I'M DOING SIT-UPS OVER AT FORT DIX.
FORT DIX?
ARE YOU DRUNK?
YES. QUITE A BIT, ACTUALLY.
WELL, STOP IT.
THIS IS STUPID.
STUPID. SO YOU FINALLY HAD THE GUTS TO SAY IT TO MY FACE.
I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE STUPID.
SO STOP BEING AN IDIOT AND LET ME FIX THIS.
OKAY, I NEED YOU. I NEED BOTH OF YOU ALL THE TIME,
JUST...NOT NOW. ADAM IS VERY DANGEROUS.
WAIT. HOW DO YOU NEED ME, REALLY?
YOU'RE GOOD WITH THE COMPUTER STUFF.
USUALLY. AND THERE'S THE WITCH STUFF.
WITCH STUFF? WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN BY WITCH STUFF?
YOU GUYS, WHAT IS HAPPENING? THIS IS CRAZY.
OH, NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S ALL FINALLY MAKING PERFECT SENSE,
AND I'M NOT GONNA MISS A MOMENT OF IT.
YOU THINK THIS'LL GO ON FOR AWHILE?
HARD TO SAY.
NICE BATHROOM.
LIKE THE TILE.
AND IF I DID JOIN THE ARMY, I'D BE GREAT. YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE THEY MIGHT GIMME A JOB THAT COULDN'T BE DONE
BY ANY WELL-TRAINED BORDER COLLIE.
THAT'S IT. I'M GOING TO BED.
NO, YOU'D BE WONDERFUL IN THE ARMY.
DO YOU THINK THE UMBILICAL CORD BETWEEN YOU AND ANYA
COULD STRETCH THAT FAR?
I KNEW IT. I KNEW YOU HATED HER!
I'M NOT THE ONE BEING JUDGMENTAL HERE.
I'LL LEAVE THAT TERRITORY TO YOU AND BUFFY.
JUDGMENTAL? IF I WAS ANY MORE OPEN-MINDED
ABOUT THE CHOICES YOU TWO MAKE,
MY WHOLE BRAIN WOULD FALL OUT.
OH, AND SUPERIOR. DON'T FORGET THAT.
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE BETTER THAN US
DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BE ALL SUPERIOR.
YOU GUYS, STOP THIS. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY?
IT'S NOT TODAY.
BUFFY, THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG FOR AWHILE. DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WRONG?
WELL, THEY CERTAINLY HAVEN'T BEEN RIGHT SINCE TARA.
WE HAVE TO FACE IT-- YOU CAN'T HANDLE TARA BEING MY GIRLFRIEND.
NO! IT WAS BAD BEFORE THAT!
SINCE YOU TWO WENT OFF TO COLLEGE AND FORGOT ABOUT ME.
JUST LEFT ME IN THE BASEMENT TO--TARA'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?
[ Giles ] BLOODY HELL!
ENOUGH! ALL I KNOW IS YOU WANNA HELP, RIGHT?
BE PART OF THE TEAM?
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. FEELING NOT WANTED.
NO! NO, YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GO.
SO LET'S GO, ALL OF US.
WE'LL WALK INTO THAT CAVE WITH YOU TWO ATTACKING ME
AND THAT FUNNY DRUNK DROOLING ON MY SHOE.
HEY, MAYBE THAT'S THE SECRET WAY TO KILLING ADAM!
BUFFY...
IS THAT IT? IS THAT HOW YOU CAN HELP?
YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING ME!
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY HELP?
SO...
I GUESS I'M STARTING TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S NO ANCIENT PROPHECY
ABOUT A CHOSEN ONE AND HER FRIENDS.
IF I NEED HELP, I'LL GO TO SOMEONE I CAN COUNT ON.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
AND NOW I'M HERE.
GRR! ARRGH!
