The Order of Taraka, I mean... 177 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,120 - Isn't that overkill? - No. 178 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,240 I think it's just enough kill. 179 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,720 Willow?

Not your actual shoes, of course, because you're tiny. 186 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,440 Not tiny in the small sense, of course. OK, I'm done now. 187 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,200 - Where is she? - Who? 188 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,520 - You know who. - You mean Buffy? I just saw her... 189 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,480 Don't feed me that "I just saw her a minute ago, she's around here somewhere" story. 190 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,840 But I did... just see her a minute ago and she is around here somewhere. 191 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,440 - For what it's worth... - It's worth nothing, Harris. 192 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,520 Whatever comes out of your mouth is a waste of breath, an airborne toxic event. 193 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,480 I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to be so honest with me. 194 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,640 I can only hope that one day I'm in the position to be that honest with you. 195 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,800 Fascinating. 196 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Well, love to chat, but I got an appointment with the warden on riot procedure. Ciao, 197 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,520 OK. See ya. 198 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,320 Willow Rosenberg? Come with us, please. 199 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,320 - Excuse me? - Let's walk. 200 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,600 Try the canapé. It's excellent. 201 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,080 What is all this? 202 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,520 You're to meet with Mr McCarthy, recruiter for the world's leading software concern. 203 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,840 The jet was delayed by fog, but he should be here any minute. 204 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,040 Please, make yourself comfortable. 205 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,640 But I didn't even get my test back. 206 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,600 That was irrelevant. We've tracked you for some time. 207 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,560 - Is that a good thing? - I would think so. 208 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,560 We're extremely selective. In fact, only one other Sunnydale student met our criteria. 209 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,560 Canapé? 210 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,880 Buffy! Slow down, please! 211 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,520 Giles, we have work to do. Get with the programme. 212 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,000 You're being remarkably immature. 213 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,120 You know why? I am immature. I'm a teen. I've yet to mature. 214 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,880 I was simply offering some... constructive criticism. 215 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,640 No. You were harsh. 216 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,400 God, you act like I picked this gig, but remember I'm the picked. 217 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,120 What you have... is more than a gig. It's a sacred duty. 218 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:15,000 Which shouldn't prevent you from eventually procuring some more... gainful employment. 219 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,440 Such as I did. 220 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,200 Giles, it's one thing to be a watcher and a librarian. 221 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,480 They go together, like chicken and... another chicken... 222 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,160 ..or two chickens, or something. You know what I'm saying! 223 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,880 No one blinks an eye if you spend all your days with books. 224 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,000 What can I do? Carve stakes for a nursery? 225 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,360 Point taken. I must admit I've never really... 226 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,520 Now, there's a thought! Have you ever considered law enforcement? 227 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,800 What? 228 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,760 - May I? - Be my guest. 229 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,040 It's a reliquary... 230 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,320 ..used to house items of religious significance. 231 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,320 Most commonly a finger or another body part from a saint. 232 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,840 Note to self: religion - freaky. 233 00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,120 Du Lac. 234 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,120 - Oh dear, oh dear. - I hate when you say that. 235 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,600 Josephus du Lac was buried here. 236 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,640 He was in a sect that was excommunicated by the Vatican at the turn of the century. 237 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,040 Excommunicated and sent to Sunnydale. There's a guy big with the sinning. 238 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,240 Remember the book that was stolen from the library a few weeks ago? 239 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,000 - Yeah. - It was written by du Lac. Damn it! 240 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:51,720 I let it slip my mind with all the excitement. 241 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,920 I guess it wasn't a Taste of the Vatican cookbook. 242 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,720 No, the book was said to contain rituals and spells that reap unspeakable evil. 243 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,200 However, it was written in archaic Latin so that only sect members could understand it. 244 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,000 - So everything's cool. - It's not. First the book was taken... 245 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800 ..and now the vampires have stolen something from du Lac's tomb. 246 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Do you think they figured out how to read the book? 247 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,360 Something's coming, Buffy. Whatever it is, I can guarantee it's not good. 248 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:26,280 Bus 219, continuing service to Los Angeles, now arriving Sunnydale... 249 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,280 - Mrs Kalish? - Yes. 250 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Hello. I'm Norman Pfister with Blush Beautiful Skincare. 251 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,240 I'm not selling anything, so I'm not asking you to buy, just to accept a few free samples. 252 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,080 - Free? - Absolutely. 253 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,800 What the hell...? 254 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,440 Hey, you're not supposed to be in here! 255 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,920 Hey, come on! 256 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,720 So Giles is sure the vampire who stole his book... 257 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,640 ..is linked to the one you slayed last night? 258 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,840 - Or... is it "slew"? - Both are correct. 259 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,720 And yes. I'm sure. 260 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,400 Du Lac was both a theologian and a mathematician. 261 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,160 This article describes an invention of his which he called the du Lac Cross. 262 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,200 Why go to the trouble of inventing something and then give it a weak name? 263 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,240 I mean, I'd have gone with the Cross-o-matic or the Amazing Mr Cross. 264 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,720 The Cross was more than a symbol. It was used to understand certain mystical texts. 265 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:09,480 To decipher hidden meanings and so forth. 266 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,480 So you're saying these vampires went to all this hassle for a basic decoder ring? 267 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,080 Actually, yes. I suppose I am. 268 00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,520 According to this, du Lac destroyed every Cross except the one buried with him. 269 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,800 - Why destroy your own work? - He feared it might fall into the wrong hands. 270 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,480 A fear we'll soon get to experience for ourselves, up close in person. 271 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,000 Unless we can pre-empt their plans. 272 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:32,680 How? 273 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,880 By learning what's in the book before they do. 274 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Which means we can expect to be here late tonight. 275 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,880 Goody! Research party! 276 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,840 Will, you need a life in the worst way. 277 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaking of... I have to bail, but I'll be back bright and early tomorrow and ready to slay. 278 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,160 - This is a matter of some urgency, Buffy. - I realise that. 279 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,560 You have to admit I kinda lack in the book area. 280 00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:58,120 You guys are the brains. I'll only be here for moral support. 281 00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:02,400 That's untrue, Buff. You totally contribute. You go for snacks! 282 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,760 She should go... you know... gather her strength. 283 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,520 Perhaps you're right. There may be fierce battles ahead. 284 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,000 But HoHos are a vital part of my cognitive process. 285 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,800 Sorry, Xand. Someplace I have to be. 286 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,400 Buffy! 287 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,120 He is passing under our feet right now. 288 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,000 No worries. We're close to decoding the manuscript. We just need a bit more time. 289 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,200 Time is ours. It brings the Slayer closer to them. 290 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,240 The Hellmouth presents... Dead Guys on Ice, Not exactly the evening we were aiming for. 291 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,680 You're in danger. You know what the ring means? 292 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,840 - I just killed a Super Bowl champ? - I'm serious! 293 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,480 Just go home and wait till you hear from me. 294 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,960 Are you OK? 295 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,440 - What about you? That cut... - Forget about me. We gotta get you out. 296 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,840 - You mean hide? - Let's get you someplace safe! 297 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,400 No! Your eye... 298 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,240 Hey! 299 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,240 Don't be a baby. I'm not gonna hurt you. 300 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,320 - It's not that... - What? 301 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,400 You shouldn't have to touch me when I'm like this. 302 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,960 I didn't even notice. 303 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320 This guy was hard-core, Giles. And Angel was power-freaked by that ring. 304 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,600 He was not overreacting. This ring is worn only by members of the Order of Taraka. 305 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,880 It's a society of deadly assassins dating back to King Solomon. 306 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,640 Didn't they beat the Elks in the Sunnydale adult bowling league? 307 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,640 Their credo is to sow discord and kill the unwary. 308 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,200 - Bowling is a vicious game. - That's enough, Xander! 309 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960 Sorry. It's just not the time for jokes. I need to think. 310 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,240 - Why are they after me? - Cos you're the scourge of the underworld? 311 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,720 I haven't been that scourgey lately. 312 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,400 I don't know, I don't know. 313 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,160 I think the best thing we can do is to find a secure location. 314 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,520 Somewhere out of the way you can go until we decide on the best course of action. 315 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,000 OK. Now you and Angel have both said to head for the hills. 316 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Are you saying I can't handle this? That I can't fight these people? 317 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600 They're a breed apart, Buffy. 318 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,880 Unlike vampires, they have no earthly desires but to collect their bounty. 319 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,200 They find a target and, uh... they eliminate it. 320 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,480 You can kill as many of them as you like. It'll make no difference. 321 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,600 Where there's one, there will be another and another. 322 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,240 They won't stop coming until the job is done. 323 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,280 Each one of them works alone, his own way, 324 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,920 Some are human, Some... are not, 325 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,800 You won't know who they are until they strike, 326 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,360 Try it! 327 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,480 - Try what? - Uh... I'm sorry. 328 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,680 I'm still not clear what I'm supposed to try. 329 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,080 Nothing. God, I'm sorry. I... 330 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,560 That is a tense person. 331 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,280 I wish there was more we could do. 332 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,880 We're doing all that we can. 333 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,000 The only course of action is to try and find out what was in that stolen book. 334 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,880 I've never seen Buffy like that. She just took off. 335 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,600 She didn't go home. 336 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,920 The phone rang a few hundred times, then I remembered her mom is out of town. 337 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,280 Maybe Buffy unplugged the phone. 338 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,880 No, it's a statistical impossibility for a 16-year-old girl to unplug her phone. 339 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,240 Well, perhaps my words of caution were... a little too alarming. 340 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,240 - You think? - It's good that she took you seriously, Giles. 341 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,160 I just wish we knew where she was. 342 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,360 Angel? 343 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,720 We're closed! Can't you read the sign? 344 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Hey, Angel. I didn't recognise you in the dark there. 345 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,520 What, uh... What can I do for you tonight? 346 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,920 - I need some information. - Yeah? 347 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,520 Man, that's too bad cos... I'm stayin' away from that whole scene. 348 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,800 - I'm livin' right, Angel. - Sure you are, Willy. 349 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,040 And I'm takin' up sunbathing. 350 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,960 Come on, man... Don't be that way. 351 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,360 I treat you vamps good. I don't hassle you. You don't hassle me. 352 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,360 We all enjoy the patronage of this establishment. Everybody's happy! 353 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,040 Who sent them? 354 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,840 - Who sent who? - The Order of Taraka. 355 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:33,600 I... I tell ya... I haven't been in the loop. 356 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,720 Let's try again. The Order of Taraka. They're after the Slayer. 357 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,160 Come on, man... 358 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,480 Was it Spike? 359 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,080 Look, Angel. I got some good pig's blood in. Good stuff... 360 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,760 You know... I'm a little rusty at killin' humans. It could take a while. 361 00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:58,000 - Spike will draw and quarter me, man! - I'll take care of Spike. 362 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,680 You know he ordered those guys!
