1
00:00:21,113 --> 00:00:23,912
- Gotcha.
- Right in the heart.

2
00:00:24,553 --> 00:00:26,783
Satisfied?

3
00:00:26,873 --> 00:00:29,626
I'm not sure that's the word.

4
00:00:30,913 --> 00:00:32,551
OK.

5
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:36,228
- I didn't mean satisfied like...
- No, I wasn't trying to...

6
00:00:36,313 --> 00:00:40,910
Cos we're not having satisfaction
in the personal sense.

7
00:00:40,993 --> 00:00:42,552
Of course.

8
00:00:42,633 --> 00:00:47,104
- I should go. Giles is...
- Is waiting for you. Yeah, I know.

9
00:00:47,193 --> 00:00:49,946
Thanks. For the work-out.

10
00:00:50,673 --> 00:00:52,664
Am I going to see you this weekend?

11
00:00:52,753 --> 00:00:55,063
You... you... you probably have plans.

12
00:00:55,153 --> 00:00:59,306
Right. Birthday. Actually, I do have a thing.

13
00:01:00,073 --> 00:01:02,144
A thing. Date?

14
00:01:02,713 --> 00:01:04,909
Nice attempt at casual.

15
00:01:05,593 --> 00:01:07,709
Actually, I do have a date.

16
00:01:07,793 --> 00:01:10,148
Older man. Very handsome.

17
00:01:10,233 --> 00:01:12,349
Likes it when I call him "Daddy".

18
00:01:12,433 --> 00:01:15,585
Your father. It is your father, right?

19
00:01:16,873 --> 00:01:19,786
He's taking me to the ice show.
It should be big fun.

20
00:01:20,593 --> 00:01:23,267
I could use a little fun.

21
00:01:23,953 --> 00:01:25,830
This one?

22
00:01:25,913 --> 00:01:29,065
- Amethyst.
- Used for?

23
00:01:29,153 --> 00:01:30,871
Breath mints?

24
00:01:30,953 --> 00:01:35,265
Charm bags, money spells,
and for cleansing one's aura.

25
00:01:35,353 --> 00:01:37,663
OK. How do you know
if one's aura is dirty?

26
00:01:37,753 --> 00:01:40,552
Does somebody come by
and write "wash me" on it?

27
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:44,228
Buffy, I'm aware of your distaste
at studying vibratory stones,

28
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:48,750
but since it is part of your training,
I would appreciate your glib-free attention.

29
00:01:48,833 --> 00:01:52,383
Sorry. It's just, with Faith on one
of her unannounced walkabouts,

30
00:01:52,473 --> 00:01:54,464
somebody should be patrolling.

31
00:01:54,553 --> 00:01:57,784
Faith is not interested in proper
training. So I must rely on you.

32
00:01:57,873 --> 00:02:03,073
- I hate being the good one.
- As for patrolling, you'll be there soon.

33
00:02:03,153 --> 00:02:04,791
Why so anxious?

34
00:02:04,873 --> 00:02:09,822
I guess that I just have some energy to burn.

35
00:02:10,113 --> 00:02:12,912
Well, in due time. But, for the present,

36
00:02:13,313 --> 00:02:18,513
if it's not entirely beyond your capabilities,
try to concentrate.

37
00:02:27,993 --> 00:02:31,111
- That looked funny. Do it again.
- I'll kill you for that.

38
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:34,788
For that? What were you
trying to kill me for before?

39
00:02:37,633 --> 00:02:39,385
OK, so here's the deal...

40
00:02:56,753 --> 00:02:59,745
Let me know if I'm not doing this right.

41
00:04:25,193 --> 00:04:27,707
A bit early in the day.

42
00:04:27,793 --> 00:04:29,989
Giles, something's wrong.

43
00:04:30,073 --> 00:04:32,064
Wrong?

44
00:04:35,113 --> 00:04:37,787
Perhaps you shouldn't

45
00:04:37,873 --> 00:04:38,908
do that any more.

46
00:04:38,993 --> 00:04:42,873
On top of that, I got a bad case of
the dizzies and almost let a vamp stake me.

47
00:04:42,953 --> 00:04:45,627
With my own stake.

48
00:04:47,673 --> 00:04:49,311
I'm way off my game.

49
00:04:49,393 --> 00:04:54,183
My game's left the country. It's in
Cuernavaca. Giles, what's going on here?

50
00:04:54,273 --> 00:04:57,743
Perhaps you've got
a bad flu bug or something.

51
00:04:58,353 --> 00:05:01,266
No. No, not sick. I can't get sick.

52
00:05:01,353 --> 00:05:03,469
My dad's coming to take me to the ice show.

53
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:06,193
We do it every year for my birthday.

54
00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:08,423
If I cancel, it's gonna break his heart.

55
00:05:08,513 --> 00:05:11,266
Well, just take it easy for 48 hours.

56
00:05:11,953 --> 00:05:15,264
Forgo patrolling until you feel yourself again.

57
00:05:15,353 --> 00:05:19,142
No. No, I just need to spend
a little more time training.

58
00:05:21,953 --> 00:05:23,990
- I'm gone.
- Thank you.

59
00:05:24,073 --> 00:05:27,429
An ice show? A show performed on ice.

60
00:05:27,513 --> 00:05:31,108
- How old are we again?
- I went to Snoopy on Ice when I was little.

61
00:05:31,193 --> 00:05:35,391
My dad took me backstage and I got
so scared I threw up on Woodstock.

62
00:05:35,993 --> 00:05:38,985
I know you think it's a big,
dumb, girly thing, but it's not.

63
00:05:39,073 --> 00:05:41,428
A lot of the skaters
are Olympic medal winners.

64
00:05:41,513 --> 00:05:45,632
Dad buys me cotton candy and
one of those souvenir programmes and...

65
00:05:45,713 --> 00:05:48,990
OK, it's a big, dumb, girly thing, but I love it.

66
00:05:49,073 --> 00:05:53,351
It's not so girly. Ice is cool.
It's water, but it's not.

67
00:05:54,393 --> 00:05:56,828
It's sweet you and your dad have a tradition.

68
00:05:56,913 --> 00:05:59,587
Especially now that
he's not around so much.

69
00:05:59,673 --> 00:06:02,586
Ixnay on the caramel corn though
if you go backstage.

70
00:06:02,673 --> 00:06:07,986
But we're still talking party? Some of us still
love to relish celebrating the birth of the Buff.

71
00:06:08,073 --> 00:06:11,543
I don't know. It might be time to put
a moratorium on parties in my honour.

72
00:06:11,633 --> 00:06:14,989
They tend to go badly.
Monsters crash, people die...

73
00:06:15,073 --> 00:06:20,671
But 18's a big one, Buffy. I mean,
you can vote now. You can be drafted.

74
00:06:20,753 --> 00:06:23,472
You can vote not to be drafted.

75
00:06:23,553 --> 00:06:26,352
I think I'll celebrate this one
with quiet reflection.

76
00:06:26,433 --> 00:06:30,791
Where's it written that quiet reflection
can't be combined with cake and funny hats?

77
00:06:39,393 --> 00:06:41,225
Buffy?

78
00:06:41,313 --> 00:06:44,305
Present. Present.

79
00:06:44,393 --> 00:06:47,431
They're not. They're from your father.

80
00:06:47,513 --> 00:06:52,064
His quarterly projections are unravelling
and he can't afford to take off.

81
00:06:52,593 --> 00:06:56,951
He promises to make it up to you.
It's all right there in the letter.

82
00:06:58,113 --> 00:07:02,266
If you want, I could ask somebody
to cover for me at the gallery.

83
00:07:02,353 --> 00:07:04,344
I mean, if you want me to take you.

84
00:07:04,433 --> 00:07:06,822
No. No, that's not necessary.

85
00:07:07,513 --> 00:07:11,746
I was just thinking it might be
nice to have a quiet birthday.

86
00:07:39,273 --> 00:07:43,665
- How much longer, Hobson?
- Five, maybe six hours, sir.

87
00:07:44,873 --> 00:07:47,991
Once you've finished,
you and Blair can get some rest.

88
00:07:48,073 --> 00:07:50,462
But sleep in shifts.

89
00:07:57,393 --> 00:08:00,067
We're getting very close.

90
00:08:00,153 --> 00:08:03,225
The Slayer's preparation is nearly complete.

91
00:08:04,993 --> 00:08:10,989
You know, it's not just cartoon characters.
They do pieces from operas and ballets.

92
00:08:11,433 --> 00:08:14,789
Brian Boitano doing Carmen is a life changer.

93
00:08:15,473 --> 00:08:20,502
He doesn't actually play Carmen.
But a lot of sophisticated people go.

94
00:08:20,593 --> 00:08:25,190
Yes, I think we should start
with the grounding crystal again.

95
00:08:25,713 --> 00:08:29,024
It's usually something
that families do together.

96
00:08:29,113 --> 00:08:31,992
Look very carefully for
the tiny flaw at its core.

97
00:08:32,073 --> 00:08:37,193
If someone were free, they'd take
their daughters, or their student,

98
00:08:37,273 --> 00:08:38,911
or their slayer.

99
00:08:39,633 --> 00:08:42,785
Yes, but, Buffy, I think
we should concentrate now.

100
00:08:42,873 --> 00:08:45,786
Now, look for the flaw at its centre.

101
00:09:02,473 --> 00:09:04,464
Buffy?

102
00:09:58,353 --> 00:10:00,424
I'm sorry. Did I zone out on you?

103
00:10:00,793 --> 00:10:02,864
I'm just... I'm nursing that flu bug.

104
00:10:02,953 --> 00:10:05,149
Best take care of that.

105
00:10:05,233 --> 00:10:08,032
- Perhaps we should...
- Call it a night.

106
00:10:08,113 --> 00:10:10,104
Yeah, that's a good idea.

107
00:10:10,753 --> 00:10:12,744
Thanks.

108
00:10:17,193 --> 00:10:19,184
Good night.

109
00:10:24,753 --> 00:10:26,471
How's it going with Amy the rat?

110
00:10:26,553 --> 00:10:30,103
Good. She loves her exercise wheel.
She runs around, her nose wiggles...

111
00:10:30,193 --> 00:10:33,902
I meant, how's it going changing
her back into a human being?

112
00:10:33,993 --> 00:10:37,588
Still working on it.
But I just got her the cutest little bell...

113
00:10:37,673 --> 00:10:41,109
You don't do that to me.
I waited for you at the Bronze all night.

114
00:10:41,553 --> 00:10:42,668
And the big deal is...?

115
00:10:42,753 --> 00:10:46,383
You made me look like some
kind of dork in front of my posse.

116
00:10:46,473 --> 00:10:49,386
First of all, "posse"? Passé.

117
00:10:49,473 --> 00:10:54,024
Second, anyone with a teaspoon of brains
knows not to take my flirting seriously.

118
00:10:54,113 --> 00:10:56,707
Especially with my
extenuating circumstances.

119
00:10:56,793 --> 00:11:00,548
- What circumstances?
- Rebound. Look it up.

120
00:11:00,633 --> 00:11:04,467
- Hey, I'm not through here.
- I beg to differ.

121
00:11:07,313 --> 00:11:11,352
- What is wrong with you?
- The chick started it.

122
00:11:13,153 --> 00:11:15,349
Are you OK?

123
00:11:21,193 --> 00:11:25,585
OK, I just got swatted down by some
no neck and rescued by Cordelia.

124
00:11:25,673 --> 00:11:28,108
- What is happening?
- It will sort itself out.

125
00:11:28,193 --> 00:11:32,232
Look, you're not getting the big picture
here. I have no strength.

126
00:11:32,833 --> 00:11:35,302
I have no coordination.

127
00:11:35,393 --> 00:11:38,465
- I throw knives like...
- A girl?

128
00:11:40,313 --> 00:11:43,192
Like I'm not the Slayer.

129
00:11:43,273 --> 00:11:45,503
Look, Buffy, I... I assure you,

130
00:11:46,153 --> 00:11:51,626
given time, we'll get to the bottom
of whatever's causing this anomaly.

131
00:11:51,713 --> 00:11:54,671
- Promise me?
- Yes.

132
00:11:54,753 --> 00:11:57,313
I give you my word.

133
00:11:58,393 --> 00:12:00,191
<i>You're having doubts.</i>

134
00:12:00,473 --> 00:12:04,103
Cruciamentum is not easy.
For Slayer or Watcher.

135
00:12:04,353 --> 00:12:07,266
But it's been done this way
for a dozen centuries.

136
00:12:07,353 --> 00:12:11,392
Whenever a slayer turns 18.
It's a time-honoured rite of passage.

137
00:12:11,473 --> 00:12:14,272
It's an archaic exercise in cruelty.

138
00:12:15,593 --> 00:12:20,542
To lock her in this tomb,
weakened, defenceless,

139
00:12:22,513 --> 00:12:25,027
and to unleash that on her.

140
00:12:29,153 --> 00:12:32,987
If any one of the Council still had contact
with a slayer they would see,

141
00:12:33,073 --> 00:12:34,871
but I'm the one in the thick of it.

142
00:12:34,953 --> 00:12:37,627
You can't make this decision -
you're too close.

143
00:12:37,713 --> 00:12:41,468
- That's not true.
- A slayer is not just physical prowess.

144
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:44,067
She must have cunning, imagination.

145
00:12:44,673 --> 00:12:47,870
A confidence derived from self-reliance.

146
00:12:48,433 --> 00:12:52,472
And believe me, once this is all over,
your Buffy will be stronger for it.

147
00:12:52,553 --> 00:12:55,272
Or she'll be dead for it.

148
00:13:04,673 --> 00:13:10,112
Rupert, if this girl is everything you say,
then you've nothing to worry about.

149
00:13:14,873 --> 00:13:19,310
Sir, if you can spare me for a short spell,
I'll need to make a run to the hardware store.

150
00:13:22,353 --> 00:13:24,663
Take care of it.

151
00:13:44,113 --> 00:13:46,468
Come along, come along.

152
00:13:55,353 --> 00:13:57,947
Kralik. Your pills.

153
00:13:58,273 --> 00:14:00,423
Open your mouth.

154
00:14:20,073 --> 00:14:22,189
That's enough. Close it up.

155
00:14:29,633 --> 00:14:31,909
"A curse on slayers."

156
00:14:32,193 --> 00:14:35,311
Oh, no, wait. It's "lawyers".

157
00:14:35,393 --> 00:14:39,864
Maybe we're on the wrong track with
the whole spell, curse and whammy thing.

158
00:14:39,953 --> 00:14:44,186
Maybe what we should be looking for
is something like slayer kryptonite.

159
00:14:44,273 --> 00:14:46,549
Faulty metaphor. Kryptonite kills.

160
00:14:46,633 --> 00:14:50,069
You assume I meant green kryptonite.
I was referring to red kryptonite,

161
00:14:50,153 --> 00:14:52,542
which drains Superman of his powers.

162
00:14:52,633 --> 00:14:55,147
Wrong, gold kryptonite's the power-sucker.

163
00:14:55,233 --> 00:14:57,793
The red kryptonite mutates Superman into...

164
00:14:57,873 --> 00:15:00,103
Guys? Reality?

165
00:15:02,753 --> 00:15:08,431
Buffy, I know you are definitely, without
a doubt, gonna get your powers back.

166
00:15:09,033 --> 00:15:10,387
Thanks, Will.

167
00:15:10,473 --> 00:15:12,862
But what if you don't?

168
00:15:12,953 --> 00:15:14,944
OK.

169
00:15:16,513 --> 00:15:20,029
If I don't get my powers back, then I don't.

170
00:15:20,673 --> 00:15:22,664
I'll deal.

171
00:15:23,033 --> 00:15:28,665
- And there's a whole lot of good sides to it.
- Actually, this could open up so many...

172
00:15:29,153 --> 00:15:32,145
- Did you find anything?
- No. Not yet.

173
00:15:50,153 --> 00:15:52,508
It's your shift.

174
00:16:02,393 --> 00:16:04,828
- Pills.
- Yes.

175
00:16:19,953 --> 00:16:21,785
It's coming.

176
00:16:29,913 --> 00:16:32,223
Pills.

177
00:16:40,753 --> 00:16:43,063
- Take them.
- Pills.

178
00:16:43,193 --> 00:16:45,867
- They're right in front of you.
- Where?

179
00:16:46,193 --> 00:16:50,824
- Here.
- I can't see... can't... can't reach it.

180
00:16:57,113 --> 00:16:58,911
Open your eyes.

181
00:17:05,513 --> 00:17:07,424
Everything's OK now.

182
00:17:27,553 --> 00:17:30,193
Thank you. It's beautiful.

183
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:32,988
- You really like it?
- Of course I do.

184
00:17:35,393 --> 00:17:38,192
It's sweet and thoughtful and

185
00:17:38,953 --> 00:17:44,153
full of neat words to learn and say,
like "wilt" and "henceforth".

186
00:17:44,233 --> 00:17:49,262
Then why did you seem more excited last
year when you got a severed arm in a box?

187
00:17:50,113 --> 00:17:52,787
I'm sorry.

188
00:17:52,873 --> 00:17:58,107
It's just suddenly there's this chance
that my calling's a wrong number, and

189
00:17:58,193 --> 00:18:01,902
- it's freaking me out a little.
- That's understandable.

190
00:18:02,033 --> 00:18:04,388
Angel, what if I have lost my power?

191
00:18:04,473 --> 00:18:07,306
You've lived a long time without it.
You can do it again.

192
00:18:07,393 --> 00:18:09,384
I guess.

193
00:18:10,113 --> 00:18:12,423
But what if I can't?

194
00:18:12,513 --> 00:18:16,302
I've seen too much. I know
what goes bump in the night.

195
00:18:16,913 --> 00:18:18,790
Not being able to fight it...

196
00:18:18,873 --> 00:18:22,503
What if I just hide under my bed,
all scared and helpless?

197
00:18:22,593 --> 00:18:24,584
Or what if I become pathetic,

198
00:18:24,673 --> 00:18:28,382
hanging out at the old slayers' home,
talking about my glory days,

199
00:18:28,473 --> 00:18:30,828
showing them the stake I had bronzed?

200
00:18:30,913 --> 00:18:35,384
Buffy, you could never be helpless
or boring, not even if you tried.

201
00:18:37,113 --> 00:18:39,832
Don't be so sure.

202
00:18:41,833 --> 00:18:48,671
Before I was the Slayer, I was...
well, I don't want to say shallow, but

203
00:18:49,713 --> 00:18:53,946
let's say a certain person, who will
remain nameless - we'll call her Spordelia -

204
00:18:54,033 --> 00:18:57,389
looked like a classical
philosopher next to me.

205
00:18:58,873 --> 00:19:04,073
Angel, if I'm not the Slayer,
what do I do? What do I have to offer?

206
00:19:05,273 --> 00:19:07,503
Why would you like me?

207
00:19:09,113 --> 00:19:12,151
I saw you before you became the Slayer.

208
00:19:13,153 --> 00:19:17,784
- What?
- I watched you, and I saw you called.

209
00:19:19,513 --> 00:19:22,949
It was a bright afternoon,
out in front of your school.

210
00:19:23,593 --> 00:19:26,028
You walked down the steps,

211
00:19:27,313 --> 00:19:29,509
and... and I loved you.

212
00:19:30,793 --> 00:19:33,103
Why?

213
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,744
Because I could see your heart.

214
00:19:40,233 --> 00:19:42,873
You held it before you for everyone to see,

215
00:19:42,953 --> 00:19:46,548
and I worried that it
would be bruised or torn.

216
00:19:46,633 --> 00:19:52,788
And more than anything in my life I wanted
to keep it safe, to warm it with my own.

217
00:19:59,833 --> 00:20:01,983
That's beautiful.

218
00:20:04,793 --> 00:20:07,433
Or, taken literally, incredibly gross.

219
00:20:08,313 --> 00:20:10,509
I was just thinking that too.

220
00:20:28,793 --> 00:20:33,788
You're up. I was afraid I'd drained
you too much. I do that sometimes.

221
00:20:36,913 --> 00:20:42,750
Ever have a tune you can't get out of your
head, that keeps playing over and over?

222
00:20:43,673 --> 00:20:46,313
It drives me nuts.

223
00:20:52,313 --> 00:20:54,304
Thank you.

224
00:20:56,473 --> 00:20:58,828
That is much better.

225
00:21:09,873 --> 00:21:12,023
It's a game, you know.

226
00:21:12,113 --> 00:21:17,711
We're not going to play by their rules,
but that doesn't mean we're not gonna play.

227
00:21:18,713 --> 00:21:23,344
Why don't you call your friend in here?
We'll discuss it over dinner.

228
00:21:33,353 --> 00:21:35,344
Quentin?

229
00:21:58,433 --> 00:22:00,424
Hello?

230
00:22:02,553 --> 00:22:04,908
Quentin? Hob...?

231
00:23:14,473 --> 00:23:16,066
- She's cute.
- Yeah.

232
00:23:16,153 --> 00:23:18,349
Let's find out.

233
00:23:19,553 --> 00:23:23,706
Hey, sweet girl. How much for
a lap dance for me and my buddy?

234
00:23:33,433 --> 00:23:38,030
"Walk me home, Angel? No, I'm fine.
I can take care of myself."

235
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:43,222
Hummers. Big turn-off.

236
00:23:44,553 --> 00:23:47,466
I like guys that can remember the lyrics.

237
00:23:47,593 --> 00:23:51,348
You know, I wish I could,
but my mind just isn't what it used to be.

238
00:23:51,433 --> 00:23:54,425
- Let me go.
- You didn't say "please".

239
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:57,022
Help me, somebody. Please.

240
00:23:58,433 --> 00:24:01,585
Help me, please. Help me, please.

241
00:24:03,153 --> 00:24:05,429
Somebody, please help me.

242
00:24:19,553 --> 00:24:20,987
No.

243
00:24:26,433 --> 00:24:29,152
Stop. Please. I need help.

244
00:24:30,153 --> 00:24:31,712
Please stop.

245
00:24:38,553 --> 00:24:39,748
Hurry.

246
00:24:54,513 --> 00:24:58,711
When I hit him, it felt like my arm
was broken, it hurt so much.

247
00:24:59,633 --> 00:25:04,753
I can't be just a person.
I can't be helpless like that.

248
00:25:04,833 --> 00:25:09,509
Giles, please. We have to
figure out what's happening to me.

249
00:25:15,713 --> 00:25:22,267
It's an organic compound
of muscle relaxants and adrenal suppressors.

250
00:25:25,953 --> 00:25:28,103
The effect is temporary.

251
00:25:28,633 --> 00:25:31,386
You'll be yourself again in a few days.

252
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:36,704
You?

253
00:25:38,073 --> 00:25:40,269
It's a test, Buffy.

254
00:25:41,713 --> 00:25:47,106
It's given to the Slayer once she...
if she reaches her 18th birthday.

255
00:25:48,753 --> 00:25:52,428
The Slayer is disabled,

256
00:25:52,553 --> 00:25:58,151
and then entrapped with a vampire whom
she must defeat in order to pass the test.

257
00:26:01,113 --> 00:26:05,152
The vampire you were to face has escaped.

258
00:26:06,913 --> 00:26:09,143
His name is Zackary Kralik.

259
00:26:10,233 --> 00:26:15,069
As a mortal, he murdered and tortured
more than a dozen women

260
00:26:15,153 --> 00:26:18,908
before he was committed to
an asylum for the criminally insane.

261
00:26:18,993 --> 00:26:21,189
When a vamp...

262
00:26:21,273 --> 00:26:23,150
You bastard.

263
00:26:23,233 --> 00:26:26,032
All this time you saw
what it was doing to me.

264
00:26:26,113 --> 00:26:28,423
All this time and you didn't say a word.

265
00:26:28,513 --> 00:26:31,073
- I wanted to.
- Liar.

266
00:26:31,153 --> 00:26:34,908
In matters of tradition and protocol,
I must answer to the Council.

267
00:26:34,993 --> 00:26:38,623
My role in this was very specific.

268
00:26:38,713 --> 00:26:43,105
I was to administer the injections and to
direct you to the old boarding house

269
00:26:43,193 --> 00:26:46,265
- on Prescott Lane.
- I can't... I can't hear this.

270
00:26:46,713 --> 00:26:49,148
Buffy, please.

271
00:26:51,233 --> 00:26:53,793
Who are you?

272
00:26:53,873 --> 00:26:55,864
How could you do this to me?

273
00:26:55,953 --> 00:26:58,422
I am deeply sorry,
and you have to understand...

274
00:26:58,513 --> 00:27:01,073
If you touch me, I'll kill you.

275
00:27:03,673 --> 00:27:08,429
You have to listen to me. Because
I've told you this, the test is invalidated.

276
00:27:09,193 --> 00:27:11,184
You will be safe now, I promise.

277
00:27:11,273 --> 00:27:14,743
Whatever I have to do to deal with Kralik

278
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:17,905
- and to win back your trust...
- You stuck a needle in me.

279
00:27:17,993 --> 00:27:20,030
You poisoned me.

280
00:27:22,433 --> 00:27:24,504
What's going on?

281
00:27:25,273 --> 00:27:29,028
Oh, God. ls the world ending?
I have to research a paper on Bosnia,

282
00:27:29,113 --> 00:27:32,504
but if the world's ending,
I'm not gonna bother.

283
00:27:34,833 --> 00:27:38,189
You can't walk home alone,
Buffy. It isn't safe.

284
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:42,950
I don't know you.

285
00:27:44,753 --> 00:27:47,666
Did something take her memory? He's Giles.

286
00:27:48,473 --> 00:27:50,111
Gi-les.

287
00:27:50,673 --> 00:27:53,267
He hangs out here a lot.

288
00:27:53,953 --> 00:27:57,344
Cordelia, could you please drive me home?

289
00:27:57,433 --> 00:27:59,663
Of course.

290
00:28:00,633 --> 00:28:04,103
But if the world doesn't end,
I'm gonna need a note.

291
00:28:25,473 --> 00:28:27,066
Buffy?

292
00:28:33,833 --> 00:28:35,062
Mother.

293
00:29:21,073 --> 00:29:23,064
Mother.

294
00:29:25,233 --> 00:29:27,668
May I call you Mother?

295
00:29:28,593 --> 00:29:32,905
My own mother was a person
with no self-respect of her own,

296
00:29:32,993 --> 00:29:35,348
so she tried to take mine.

297
00:29:37,753 --> 00:29:43,305
Ten years old, she had the scissors - you
wouldn't believe what she did with those.

298
00:29:44,273 --> 00:29:46,469
But she's dead to me now.

299
00:29:47,673 --> 00:29:50,347
Mostly because I killed and ate her,

300
00:29:50,433 --> 00:29:55,428
but also because I know
I won't be alone much longer.

301
00:29:56,513 --> 00:29:58,550
I'll have your daughter.

302
00:29:58,633 --> 00:30:01,751
I won't kill her, I'll just make her like me.

303
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:03,949
Different.

304
00:30:04,033 --> 00:30:05,626
She'll go to sleep,

305
00:30:05,793 --> 00:30:11,311
and when she wakes up,
your face will be the first thing she eats.

306
00:30:14,793 --> 00:30:18,184
I have a problem with mothers.
I'm aware of that.

307
00:31:54,073 --> 00:31:56,189
I was just trying to reach you.

308
00:31:56,273 --> 00:32:00,426
- I was on watch, by the boarding house.
- Then you'll know what's happened.

309
00:32:00,513 --> 00:32:01,662
Yes.

310
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:04,347
He's killed Hobson
and made Blair one of his own.

311
00:32:04,433 --> 00:32:07,391
Your perfectly controlled test

312
00:32:07,473 --> 00:32:12,388
seems to have spun rather impressively
out of control, don't you think?

313
00:32:14,393 --> 00:32:17,784
- It changes nothing.
- Well, then allow me.

314
00:32:17,873 --> 00:32:20,342
I've told Buffy everything.

315
00:32:21,673 --> 00:32:24,347
That is in opposition to the Council's orders.

316
00:32:24,433 --> 00:32:28,063
Yes. Interestingly, I don't give
a rat's arse about the Council's orders.

317
00:32:28,153 --> 00:32:30,064
There will be no test.

318
00:32:30,153 --> 00:32:35,068
The test has already begun. Your slayer
entered the field of play ten minutes ago.

319
00:32:35,153 --> 00:32:39,545
- Why?
- I don't know. I returned there as she entered.

320
00:32:39,873 --> 00:32:43,707
- Giles, we've no business interfering.
- This is not business.

321
00:33:51,913 --> 00:33:54,746
Hide and seek.

322
00:33:58,593 --> 00:34:00,584
Hide and seek.

323
00:34:15,073 --> 00:34:18,145
Why did you come
to the dark of the woods?

324
00:34:19,353 --> 00:34:22,869
To bring all these sweets
to Grandmother's house?

325
00:34:32,833 --> 00:34:37,384
Oh, no, no. Just a little lower. Right... Oh, yes.

326
00:34:37,473 --> 00:34:39,623
Yes...

327
00:34:42,113 --> 00:34:44,502
Thank you very much.

328
00:36:20,673 --> 00:36:24,428
If you stray from the path,
you will lose your way.

329
00:36:25,633 --> 00:36:28,227
I won't take it all. I won't take it all...

330
00:36:45,833 --> 00:36:47,471
No. No. No.

331
00:36:57,793 --> 00:36:59,784
Buffy?

332
00:37:01,153 --> 00:37:03,030
Buffy, we have to get out.

333
00:37:05,913 --> 00:37:07,631
Where are they?

334
00:37:07,713 --> 00:37:09,704
Where are they?

335
00:37:30,833 --> 00:37:36,511
You... you don't seem to
understand your place in all of this.

336
00:37:36,913 --> 00:37:39,063
Do you have any idea...?

337
00:37:40,153 --> 00:37:41,905
Oh, my-

338
00:37:41,993 --> 00:37:44,792
What have you...? My pills?

339
00:37:51,953 --> 00:37:55,230
No. No.

340
00:37:55,553 --> 00:37:58,864
If I was at full Slayer power,
I'd be punning right about now.

341
00:37:59,393 --> 00:38:01,669
No. No.

342
00:38:10,073 --> 00:38:12,110
Buffy, thank God you're OK.

343
00:38:12,193 --> 00:38:14,184
Oh, that man...

344
00:38:15,513 --> 00:38:19,472
- I can't get these. They're too tight.
- Can't you just...?

345
00:38:19,553 --> 00:38:23,433
Not right now. Maybe there's
some clippers around.

346
00:38:40,913 --> 00:38:43,792
<i>Congratulations. You passed.</i>

347
00:38:44,833 --> 00:38:48,508
You exhibited extraordinary courage
and clear-headedness in battle.

348
00:38:48,593 --> 00:38:50,823
The Council is very pleased.

349
00:38:51,393 --> 00:38:53,623
Do I get a gold star?

350
00:38:53,713 --> 00:38:57,707
- I understand that you're upset...
- You understand nothing.

351
00:38:57,793 --> 00:39:00,706
You set that monster loose
and he came after my mother.

352
00:39:00,793 --> 00:39:02,830
You think the test was unfair?

353
00:39:03,193 --> 00:39:07,585
I think you better leave town
before I get my strength back.

354
00:39:08,313 --> 00:39:11,704
We're not in the business of "fair".
We're fighting a war.

355
00:39:11,793 --> 00:39:14,023
You're waging a war. She's fighting it.

356
00:39:14,113 --> 00:39:16,070
Mr Giles, if you don't mind...

357
00:39:16,153 --> 00:39:18,793
- The test is done. We're finished.
- Not quite.

358
00:39:18,873 --> 00:39:21,023
She passed. You didn't.

359
00:39:22,233 --> 00:39:26,067
The Slayer is not the only one
who must perform in this situation.

360
00:39:26,153 --> 00:39:28,542
I have recommended to the Council

361
00:39:28,633 --> 00:39:33,833
that you be relieved of your duties
as watcher immediately. You're fired.

362
00:39:34,913 --> 00:39:37,063
On what grounds?

363
00:39:37,153 --> 00:39:41,909
Your affection for your charge has
rendered you incapable of clear judgment.

364
00:39:42,913 --> 00:39:48,670
You have a father's love for the child,
and that is useless to the cause.

365
00:39:49,593 --> 00:39:53,587
It would be best if you had
no further contact with the Slayer.

366
00:39:53,673 --> 00:39:57,951
- I'm not going anywhere.
- I didn't expect you would adhere to that.

367
00:39:58,033 --> 00:40:04,109
However, if you interfere with the new
watcher in any way, you will be dealt with.

368
00:40:04,913 --> 00:40:07,871
- Are we clear?
- We're very clear.

369
00:40:09,673 --> 00:40:12,506
Congratulations again.

370
00:40:13,833 --> 00:40:16,268
Bite me.

371
00:40:16,353 --> 00:40:18,708
Yes, well...

372
00:40:19,353 --> 00:40:21,663
Colourful girl.

373
00:41:09,433 --> 00:41:13,108
I can't believe Giles was fired.
How could Giles get fired?

374
00:41:13,193 --> 00:41:15,423
So, how did you manage to kill Kralik?

375
00:41:15,513 --> 00:41:17,743
She was very clever.

376
00:41:18,433 --> 00:41:24,031
- You go ahead and tell it. You tell it better.
- When you say fired, do you mean fired?

377
00:41:24,113 --> 00:41:27,026
You're not cruising past
that concept anytime soon, are ya?

378
00:41:27,113 --> 00:41:33,382
Well, it's just... I mean, he's been fired.
He's... he's unemployed. He's between jobs.

379
00:41:33,473 --> 00:41:37,068
Giles isn't going anywhere, Will.
He's still librarian.

380
00:41:37,153 --> 00:41:40,783
- OK, but I'm writing an angry letter.
- Nothing's really gonna change.

381
00:41:40,873 --> 00:41:45,868
The important thing is that I kept up my
birthday tradition of misery and horror.

382
00:41:46,393 --> 00:41:49,033
Bright side to everything?

383
00:41:49,113 --> 00:41:52,390
I'll just feel better when
I get my strength back.

384
00:41:52,473 --> 00:41:55,067
Give you a hand with that, little lady?

385
00:41:56,473 --> 00:41:58,544
You're loving this far too much.

386
00:41:58,833 --> 00:42:02,349
Admit it. Sometimes you
just need a big, strong man.

387
00:42:08,353 --> 00:42:11,186
<i>Will? Give me a hand with that?</i>

388
00:42:13,993 --> 00:42:16,985
