Everything in order? - Well, actually... 59 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Great. I've been talking to the board. 60 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,120 We're having trouble finding a competent teacher this late in the term. 61 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,200 Can you continue subbing through finals? 62 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,040 Oh! Sure! I like teaching. 63 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,040 Isn't that nice? You're a team player and I like that. 64 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,560 A team player wants everyone on the team to succeed, wants everyone to pass. 65 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,960 Well, yeah. Sure. 66 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,320 I understand there's a problem with Gage Petronzi. 67 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,880 Oh, good. Then you know. Well, yeah. 68 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,680 Besides the behaviour problem, he won't do homework and his test scores are... 69 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,560 Well, actually he doesn't have any, because he never shows up when we... 70 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,200 I'm not interested in any of that. 71 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Why, when this school is about to win its first state championship in 15 years... 72 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,320 ..would you slap a member of that team with a failing mark that would force his removal? 73 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,400 - Is that how you show your school spirit? - Yes. Well, I mean... no. 74 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,680 I'm just trying to grade fairly. 75 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,560 Gage is a champion. He's under more pressure than the other students. 76 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,560 And I think we need to cut him some slack. 77 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,720 You're asking me to change his grade? 78 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,400 I never said any such thing. 79 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,000 All I'm suggesting is... that you recheck your figures. 80 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,040 And I think we'll find a grade more fitting to an athlete of Gage's stature. 81 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,440 Perhaps something in a D? 82 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,560 Just like that? He actually told you to alter his grade? 83 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,360 Exactly. Except for actually telling me to. 84 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,560 But he made it perfectly clear of what he wasn't telling me. 85 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,320 That is wrong. A big fat spankin' wrong. 86 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,000 It's a slap in the face to everyone who studied hard and worked long hours to earn our D's. 87 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,080 I know you like to be the voice of the common wuss... 88 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,680 ..but certain people are entitled to special privileges - winners. 89 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,520 - That's the way the world works. - What about "all men are created equal"? 90 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,160 Propaganda spouted by the ugly and less deserving. 91 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,560 I think that was Lincoln. 92 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,640 - Disgusting mole and stupid hat. - Actually, it was Jefferson. 93 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,400 - Kept slaves. Remember? - Know what grates my cheese? 94 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,640 That Buffy's not here to share my outrage about swim-team perks. 95 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440 She's too busy being one of them, 96 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,760 I don't know, a dolphin. A dolphin in the ocean. 97 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:26,000 Because, you know, when I'm in the vastness of the ocean, it's... it's like I'm never alone. 98 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,120 You ever hear of a woman named Gertrude Ederle? 99 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,080 No. No, I can't say that I have, Cam. 100 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,960 First woman to swim the English Channel. Same thing. 101 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,320 I mean, she would talk to it. She'd cary on entire conversations with it. 102 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,240 - Sometimes I do that. I mean, once I was... - You know what, Cam? Thanks. 103 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,680 I'd... forgotten how nice it is to just talk... 104 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,000 ..or, in my case, listen, without any romantic pressure. 105 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240 Hey, I'm not about pressure. I just want you to be comfortable. 106 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,960 I'm comfy! I'm so comfy, I'm nodding off, actually, which is why... 107 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400 Are you wearing a bra? 108 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,480 What? 109 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,480 Come on. Tell me you haven't been thinking about this ever since last night. 110 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,840 What I'm thinking about is I should probably get out of this car. 111 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,240 - Relax. I'm not gonna hurt you. - Oh, it's not me I'm worried about. 112 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,000 You like it rough! 113 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Oh, you broke my nose! Agh! 114 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760 I wasn't the attacker. I was the attacked. 115 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,200 That's not how it looked to me. 116 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,560 I don't know what happened. I mean, first she leads me on, then she goes schizo on me. 117 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,840 - Lead you on? When did I lead you on? - Oh, come on. Look at the way she dresses. 118 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,800 - Coach. - How we doing, Cameron? 119 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,240 Coach Marin, how bad does it look? 120 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,600 Luckily, it's not broken, but sure as hell it's gonna sting for a few days. 121 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,080 I mean our chances of winning the state championship. Can we still do it? 122 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,520 I'm gonna need Cameron back at 110%. He's my best swimmer now, with Dodd... 123 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,960 - What happened to Dodd? - That's none of your concern. 124 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,400 You'd better hope his nose heals before the meet this Friday. 125 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,880 Walker, hit the steam room as soon as you're done here. Keep those sinuses clear. 126 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,600 - Take care of my boy, Ruthie. - I always do. 127 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,080 And you, try to dress more appropriately from now on. This isn't a dance club. 128 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,960 So I'm treated like the baddie just because he has a sprained wrist and a bloody nose. 129 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,840 And I don't have a scratch on me. Which hurts my case a little... 130 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,760 ..but he gets away with it because he's on the swim team who, by the way... 131 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,840 ..have been acting like real jerks lately... 132 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,080 So, anything new with you guys? 133 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,640 Thank you for taking an interest. 134 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,680 Some remains were found on the beach this morning. Some human remains. 135 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,200 - Dodd McAlvy's remains. - Vampire? 136 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,880 No, he was eviscerated. Nothing left but skin and cartilage. 137 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,760 In other words, this was no boating accident. 138 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,360 Something ripped him open and ate out his insides? 139 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,280 Like an Oreo cookie. 140 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,040 Well, except for, you know, without the chocolaty cookie goodness. 141 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,760 Yeah. Um, Principal Snyder has asked the faculty to keep the news quiet for now... 142 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,000 - ..so as not to unduly upset students. - For "students", read "swim team". 143 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,480 - So, we're looking for a beastie. - That, uh, eats humans whole. 144 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,840 - Except for the skin. - This doesn't make any sense. 145 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,720 - Yeah, the skin's the best part. - Any demons with high cholesterol? 146 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,360 You'll think about that later, mister, and you'll laugh. 147 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,800 OK, son.

It went through the window so quick. 172 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,520 - I was a little shocked when I saw it, and... - Go ahead. Say it. You ran like a woman. 173 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,800 - If you saw it, you'd run like a woman, too. - Buffy was right. 174 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,800 According to statistics, Dodd and Cameron were the best swimmers on the team. 175 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,160 First and second, so if my theory's correct... 176 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,720 ..Gage Petronzi, the third-best swimmer, would be the next item on the menu. 177 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,360 God! This is so sad. We're never gonna win the state championship. 178 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,200 - I think I have lost all will to cheerlead. - Raise your hand if you feel her pain. 179 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,640 If these killings aren't random, someone's out for revenge. 180 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,880 And someone brought forth this sea monster from whence it came to exact that revenge. 181 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,440 From whence it came? I'm spending way too much time around you. 182 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,560 Who would hate the swim team that much, though? 183 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,640 Besides me, I mean. 184 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,840 Willow? 185 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,000 Jonathan. He was bullied by Dodd the other day on the beach, remember? 186 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,680 He did say he could take care of things himself. 187 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,000 - It's a good call. You should question him. - Really? Me? I'll crack him like an egg. 188 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,960 Meanwhile, I think swimmer number three might benefit from your... 189 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,200 ..watchful eye and protection - discreetly, of course. 190 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,880 - I'm on it. - What about me? What can I do? 191 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Well, you could go out to the parking lot and practise running like a man. 192 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,240 So, Jonathan. 193 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,280 You tried out for the swim team twice and never made it? 194 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200 I'm asthmatic. I couldn't keep up. 195 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640 - You resented it, didn't you? - Maybe. 196 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520 You hated being pushed around by Dodd and the others. 197 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,320 - So? - So, you wanted revenge, didn't you? 198 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,080 Didn't you? 199 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,880 Yeah! OK? I did! 200 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,880 So... you delved into the black arts... 201 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,880 ..and conjured up a hell beast from the ocean's depths to wreak your vengeance. 202 00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,960 - Didn't you? - What? No! 203 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,520 I snuck in yesterday and... 204 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,440 ..peed in the pool. 205 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,080 This is such a blow. 206 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,000 Sooner or later, the rest of my boys are gonna find out. How can I ask them to swim? 207 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520 It's a terrible, terrible tragedy. We all feel your pain, Coach. 208 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,920 I don't know two finer boys than Cameron and... that other one. 209 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,320 But I know they'd want their friends to go on and win that state championship. 210 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,040 - It's time to think about the team. - Hell, I don't have a complete team. 211 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,040 If we don't find someone by this afternoon's tryouts, we won't be eligible to compete. 212 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:06,560 You'll find someone. All he has to do is wear a bathing suit, right? 213 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,120 # We wouldn't have to go through this 214 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,480 # If you'd just let me finish 215 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,480 # Stop cuttin' and jumpin' ahead 216 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,640 # Yeah, if you'd just shut your pretty mouth 217 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,600 # You'd save yourself some tears 218 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,360 # If you came back from the bathroom 219 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,720 # With somethin' on your shoe 220 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,880 This "me and my shadow" act? 221 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,000 It's getting old.

Oh, baby! 226 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,240 OK! OK! OK! 227 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,520 Obviously, my sex appeal is on the fritz today, so I'll just give it to you straight. 228 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,600 Something out there is making filets of the populace and I think you might be next. 229 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,240 Uh-huh.

Cam told me about your games. 232 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040 Go find someone else to harass. 233 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,520 What a psycho bitch! Man! 234 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,800 Gotta be talking about Buffy. 235 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,600 - How'd you know? - Uh, she and I... 236 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,120 ..had this thing once. Biggest mistake of my life. 237 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,960 - Yeah, my condolences, dude. - She's a real head-tripper. 238 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,960 Tell me about it. Girl acts like she's God's gift. 239 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960 - Who is she? The Chosen One? - Exactly. 240 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,520 What she needs is for someone to really knock her down off her notches. 241 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,760 - Yeah, that'd be sweet. Anyone in mind? - You're in luck, my friend. 242 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720 - Just so happens, I'm recruiting. - No! 243 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,440 Somebody!

I thought Angel liked blood. - He used to. 257 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,800 Maybe his eyes were too big for his stomach. 258 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Maybe there was something in Gage's blood Angel didn't like. Say, for example, steroids. 259 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,920 - It would explain their behavioural changes. - And their winning streak. 260 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,480 So maybe whatever's in their blood is what's attracting this creature to them. 261 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,840 - Any luck researching? - Zippo. 262 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,760 We couldn't find any sea demon matching Xander's description. 263 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,280 Not that Chicken Little's much of a witness, but... 264 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,040 Oh!

I mean, what's the deal? 280 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,880 You perspire a lot. You can't breathe. 281 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,680 Or read.

You think it's just you. 297 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,720 You're inspiring the boys to greatness. But in the back of your mind, you start to wonder. 298 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,200 You never asked any of the boys if they were taking anything? 299 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,240 Maybe I was afraid to. 300 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,720 - There. - Dodd McAlvy: torn tendon. 301 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,040 Gage Petronzi: fractured wrist, depression, headaches. 302 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,440 - It's all there in the school medical records. - All symptomatic of steroid abuse. 303 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,680 Is steroid abuse usually linked with "Hey, I'm a fish"? 304 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,080 There must be something else in the mix. But the point is, these boys were drugged. 305 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,440 Nurse Greenliegh treated every one of them. She must have known. 306 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,960 If steroids are that dangerous, why would they do that to themselves? 307 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,280 They needed to win. Winning equals trophies, which equals prestige for the school. 308 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,960 You see how they're treated. 309 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,560 The discus throwers got the best seats at crucifixions. 310 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,440 I'm breaking my nails battling the forces of evil... 311 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,800 - ..and my teacher can't remember my name. - What's the drill?

So, when do we get our next dose? 323 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,440 - What do you mean? - Who's carrying? 324 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,320 I need a little something to improve my performance. Give me an edge. Rrr! 325 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,000 The steroids.
