00:00:02,121 --> 00:00:04,112
Previously on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer“:
2
00:00:04,201 --> 00:00:06,590
I have recommended to the Council
3
00:00:06,681 --> 00:00:10,595
that you be relieved of your duties
as watcher immediately. You're fired.
4
00:00:10,681 --> 00:00:12,160
- Hello.
- New watcher?
5
00:00:12,241 --> 00:00:14,357
- New watcher.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.
6
00:00:14,441 --> 00:00:17,991
Slaying's what we were built for.
If you're not enjoying it, something's wrong.
7
00:00:18,081 --> 00:00:18,912
Want.
8
00:00:20,121 --> 00:00:22,112
Take. Have.
9
00:00:22,201 --> 00:00:23,714
I'm gettin' it.
10
00:00:39,081 --> 00:00:41,311
Faith, no!
11
00:00:46,441 --> 00:00:48,432
I didn't know.
12
00:00:48,521 --> 00:00:50,353
I didn't know.
13
00:00:50,441 --> 00:00:52,273
- They'll find a body.
- There is no body.
14
00:00:52,361 --> 00:00:54,398
I took it, weighted it and dumped it.
15
00:00:54,481 --> 00:00:57,439
Faith, you don't get it. You killed a man.
16
00:00:57,841 --> 00:00:59,991
No, you don't get it.
17
00:01:00,081 --> 00:01:02,072
I don't care.
18
00:02:00,321 --> 00:02:02,312
We go live to our field reporter,
19
00:02:02,401 --> 00:02:05,359
who is at the waterfront
with this breaking news
20
00:02:05,441 --> 00:02:09,560
about the murder that has shocked
the Mayor and residents of Sunnydale.
21
00:02:10,361 --> 00:02:14,514
Fishermen discovered the body
today, the victim of a brutal stabbing.
22
00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:20,597
Everyone was shocked when the slain man
was identified as Deputy Mayor, Allan Finch.
23
00:02:20,761 --> 00:02:24,152
Still reeling from the news,
Mayor Wilkins had this to say:
24
00:02:24,681 --> 00:02:28,561
Mr Finch was not only
my longtime aide and associate,
25
00:02:29,561 --> 00:02:31,552
he was a close personal friend.
26
00:02:32,401 --> 00:02:36,838
I promise you, I will not rest until whoever
did this is found and brought to justice.
27
00:02:36,921 --> 00:02:38,912
Thank you very much.
28
00:02:39,601 --> 00:02:42,912
Honey, you're up. It's just terrible, isn't it?
29
00:03:40,801 --> 00:03:45,432
I want you to look into this. Find out all you
can about the murder of the Deputy Mayor.
30
00:03:46,481 --> 00:03:50,952
But that's... I mean, that's not really
our jurisdiction, is it?
31
00:03:51,041 --> 00:03:55,877
- It's no big, B. We'll get into it if he wants.
- No. Buffy's right.
32
00:03:56,281 --> 00:04:00,878
The Deputy Mayor's murder was caused by
human malice. Nothing supernatural about it.
33
00:04:00,961 --> 00:04:04,352
We don't know that for certain.
I say it merits investigation.
34
00:04:04,441 --> 00:04:06,432
Which I'm sure the police are doing.
35
00:04:06,521 --> 00:04:10,640
In the meantime, if you ask me,
there are better uses for the slayers' time.
36
00:04:10,721 --> 00:04:13,281
But I don't believe I did ask you.
37
00:04:14,441 --> 00:04:17,559
Considering the success
of your previous adventure...
38
00:04:18,561 --> 00:04:22,031
Don't let me interrupt.
Wait. Let me interrupt. I'm in a hurry.
39
00:04:22,121 --> 00:04:25,955
- What did you need?
- Psych class. Freud and Jung. Book me?
40
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:29,392
Happily.
41
00:04:30,641 --> 00:04:33,759
Check out Giles, the next generation.
What's your deal?
42
00:04:34,601 --> 00:04:35,591
I...
43
00:04:36,841 --> 00:04:38,559
Well...
44
00:04:38,641 --> 00:04:40,871
- I'm...
- New watcher.
45
00:04:42,401 --> 00:04:44,961
- Does everybody know about you?
- She's a friend.
46
00:04:45,761 --> 00:04:47,752
Let's not exaggerate.
47
00:04:47,841 --> 00:04:50,594
So you're the new watcher.
48
00:04:51,521 --> 00:04:53,512
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.
49
00:04:54,121 --> 00:04:56,635
I like a man with two last names. I'm Cordelia.
50
00:04:57,521 --> 00:05:00,400
- And you teach psychology?
- I take psychology.
51
00:05:00,761 --> 00:05:03,719
- She's a student.
- Well... Yes.
52
00:05:04,481 --> 00:05:06,995
In fact, I am here to watch.
53
00:05:07,401 --> 00:05:10,553
Girls. Buffy and Faith, to be specific.
54
00:05:11,761 --> 00:05:14,958
Well, it's about time
we got some fresh blood around here.
55
00:05:16,921 --> 00:05:18,912
Well, fresh.
56
00:05:19,561 --> 00:05:21,598
Yes.
57
00:05:22,681 --> 00:05:24,672
- Here we go.
- Thanks.
58
00:05:25,321 --> 00:05:27,312
So, welcome to Sunnydale.
59
00:05:32,121 --> 00:05:34,112
My.
60
00:05:34,201 --> 00:05:36,192
She's cheeky, isn't she?
61
00:05:37,041 --> 00:05:39,999
First word, "jail", second word, "bait".
62
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,596
Well, where were we?
63
00:05:44,681 --> 00:05:46,672
Done.
64
00:05:46,761 --> 00:05:48,752
I mean, we were done, right?
65
00:05:49,921 --> 00:05:52,674
Yep. Off to patrol. So we'll see ya.
66
00:05:52,761 --> 00:05:54,752
One moment, girls.
67
00:05:54,841 --> 00:05:58,755
I am your commander now and,
on the matter of this murder, I am resolved.
68
00:05:58,841 --> 00:06:02,118
"Natural" or "super", I want to know.
69
00:06:02,921 --> 00:06:06,073
Fine by me. Always ready
to kick a little bad guy butt.
70
00:06:18,441 --> 00:06:20,512
So, you gonna rat me out? Is that it?
71
00:06:20,601 --> 00:06:25,596
Faith, we have to tell. I can't pretend to
investigate this. I can't pretend I don't know.
72
00:06:25,681 --> 00:06:28,753
But you can pretend Angel's dead
when you need to protect him.
73
00:06:28,841 --> 00:06:31,071
I am trying to protect you.
74
00:06:31,161 --> 00:06:34,392
If we don't do the right thing,
it'll make things worse for you.
75
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:37,553
Worse than jail for the rest
of my young life? No way.
76
00:06:37,641 --> 00:06:39,712
- What we did was...
- Yeah. We.
77
00:06:39,801 --> 00:06:42,361
You were there beside me
when this thing went down.
78
00:06:42,441 --> 00:06:45,115
Anything I have to answer for, you do too.
79
00:06:45,201 --> 00:06:47,431
You're a part of this, B. All the way.
80
00:07:13,601 --> 00:07:15,592
. Hey-
. Hey-
81
00:07:17,121 --> 00:07:19,351
Where's Faith? I saw her around.
82
00:07:19,961 --> 00:07:23,955
Figured you two were gonna
go kill some more nasty stuff.
83
00:07:24,601 --> 00:07:27,514
Not right now. I think she bailed.
84
00:07:29,281 --> 00:07:31,272
- Will, I...
- Actually, I...
85
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:36,112
You go ahead.
86
00:07:36,561 --> 00:07:38,552
I'm late.
87
00:07:38,641 --> 00:07:41,235
I'm meeting Michael, the warlock guy.
88
00:07:41,321 --> 00:07:43,961
We're still tryin' to "de-rat" Amy.
89
00:07:44,961 --> 00:07:46,952
OK.
90
00:07:48,841 --> 00:07:50,832
So, see ya.
91
00:07:53,041 --> 00:07:54,440
See ya.
92
00:08:01,161 --> 00:08:04,472
So you heard the man scream
about what time last night?
93
00:08:04,561 --> 00:08:07,360
I'm not sure. Seven. Maybe eight.
94
00:08:07,801 --> 00:08:11,317
Can you be more specific?
Say, between seven-thirty and eight?
95
00:08:27,121 --> 00:08:29,476
- Your hand.
- It's OK.
96
00:08:41,441 --> 00:08:43,432
It's not working.
97
00:08:43,521 --> 00:08:45,432
It does something besides shred?
98
00:08:45,521 --> 00:08:50,118
It's supposed to cheer me up! Usually,
using the shredder gives me a lift. It's fun.
99
00:08:50,201 --> 00:08:53,193
- And today you're not gettin' the ya-yas.
- No.
100
00:08:55,521 --> 00:08:58,320
It'll take more than this
to turn my frown upside down.
101
00:08:58,401 --> 00:09:02,998
I just don't understand why Allan would
leave such a paper trail about our dealings.
102
00:09:04,521 --> 00:09:08,515
Do you think he was gonna betray me?
Now that's a horrible thought.
103
00:09:08,601 --> 00:09:11,719
And now he's dead,
I'll never have the chance to scold him.
104
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:13,838
Maybe this'll change your mood.
105
00:09:15,761 --> 00:09:17,991
- What is it?
- A bombshell.
106
00:09:18,081 --> 00:09:21,392
The Deputy Mayor had
wooden splinters in his wound.
107
00:09:22,241 --> 00:09:25,632
Struck right through the heart
with a sharp, pointed object.
108
00:09:25,721 --> 00:09:30,033
Word is, someone was fighting vampires
not a block away from the scene.
109
00:09:30,121 --> 00:09:33,352
The smart money says
it was a slayer who did this job.
110
00:09:33,441 --> 00:09:35,557
What, do you think he talked? To them?
111
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:38,838
If he did,
I'm thinkin' he said the wrong thing.
112
00:09:40,481 --> 00:09:42,552
Well, this is exciting.
113
00:09:43,401 --> 00:09:45,631
The Slayer up for murder one.
114
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:49,760
That's sunshine and roses to me. It really is.
115
00:10:11,121 --> 00:10:13,556
I'm tellin' you, we did the world a favour.
116
00:10:13,641 --> 00:10:16,759
This guy was about as interesting
as watching paint dry.
117
00:10:16,841 --> 00:10:18,195
Faith...
118
00:10:18,281 --> 00:10:20,670
Joking. Jeez, lighten up a little, B.
119
00:10:33,841 --> 00:10:35,832
He came out of nowhere.
120
00:10:37,201 --> 00:10:38,236
I know.
121
00:10:40,481 --> 00:10:43,280
Whatever. I'm not lookin' to
hug and cry, learn and grow.
122
00:10:43,361 --> 00:10:45,830
I'm just saying it happened quick, you know?
123
00:10:48,961 --> 00:10:50,679
You know what? Let's just blow.
124
00:10:50,761 --> 00:10:54,436
Who cares what this guy was about?
It's moot now, don't you think?
125
00:10:54,521 --> 00:10:58,071
I don't think he was in that alley by chance.
He was looking for us.
126
00:10:58,161 --> 00:11:01,950
- I'd like to know why.
- So you think there's some big conspiracy?
127
00:11:03,721 --> 00:11:05,917
You were saying?
128
00:11:06,001 --> 00:11:09,312
So his papers are gone.
Doesn't prove anything.
129
00:11:09,401 --> 00:11:12,519
Except that somebody
didn't want us to prove anything.
130
00:11:25,321 --> 00:11:27,835
- Get as many men on it as you can.
- Yeah.
131
00:11:27,921 --> 00:11:30,117
We'll be wantin' to turn up the heat.
132
00:11:41,361 --> 00:11:45,559
So the Mayor of Sunnydale is a black hat.
That's a shocker, huh?
133
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:51,520
- Yeah. I didn't get the bad guy vibe off him.
- When are you gonna learn, B?
134
00:11:51,601 --> 00:11:53,956
It doesn't matter
what vibe you get off a person.
135
00:11:54,041 --> 00:11:58,035
Nine times outta ten the face
they're showing you is not the real one.
136
00:11:58,121 --> 00:12:00,112
I guess you know a lot about that.
137
00:12:01,601 --> 00:12:03,911
What is that supposed to mean?
138
00:12:04,321 --> 00:12:08,315
Look at you, Faith.
Less than 24 hours ago you killed a man.
139
00:12:08,401 --> 00:12:10,392
And now it's all zip-a-dee-doo-dah?
140
00:12:10,481 --> 00:12:13,121
That's not your real face and I know it.
141
00:12:13,201 --> 00:12:15,636
I know what you're feeling.
I'm feeling it, too.
142
00:12:15,721 --> 00:12:18,361
Do you? So fill me in, cos I'd like to hear this.
143
00:12:19,401 --> 00:12:23,360
Dirty. Like something sick creeped inside you
and you can't get it out.
144
00:12:23,441 --> 00:12:26,320
And you hope it was just some nightmare,
but it wasn't.
145
00:12:26,401 --> 00:12:30,520
- And we'll have to figure out...
- Is there gonna be an intermission in this?
146
00:12:31,801 --> 00:12:33,917
Just let me talk to Giles. I swear...
147
00:12:34,001 --> 00:12:36,390
We're not bringing anybody else into this.
148
00:12:37,241 --> 00:12:39,915
Keep your head.
This will blow over in a few days.
149
00:12:40,001 --> 00:12:41,400
And if it doesn't?
150
00:12:41,481 --> 00:12:44,678
If it doesn't,
a freighter leaves the docks twice a day.
151
00:12:44,761 --> 00:12:48,356
- Ain't fancy, but it gets you gone.
- And that's it? You live with it?
152
00:12:48,441 --> 00:12:52,071
You see the dead guy in your head
every day for the rest of your life?
153
00:12:52,161 --> 00:12:54,880
Buffy, I'm not gonna see anything.
154
00:12:55,361 --> 00:13:01,118
I missed the mark last night. And I'm sorry
about the guy. I really am. But it happens.
155
00:13:01,201 --> 00:13:04,876
Anyways, how many people do you think
we've saved by now? Thousands?
156
00:13:04,961 --> 00:13:09,831
You stopped the world ending. In my book,
that puts you and me in the plus column.
157
00:13:09,921 --> 00:13:12,640
We help people.
It doesn't mean we can do what we want.
158
00:13:12,721 --> 00:13:17,079
Why not? The guy I offed was no Gandhi.
I mean, he was mixed up in dirty dealings.
159
00:13:17,161 --> 00:13:19,675
Maybe. But what if
he was coming to us for help?
160
00:13:19,761 --> 00:13:24,392
What if he was? You're still not seeing the
big picture, B. Something made us different.
161
00:13:24,481 --> 00:13:27,678
- We're warriors. We were built to kill.
- To kill demons.
162
00:13:27,761 --> 00:13:31,231
It does not mean we can pass judgment,
like we're better than everybody.
163
00:13:31,321 --> 00:13:33,312
We are better.
164
00:13:35,641 --> 00:13:37,632
That's right. Better.
165
00:13:38,041 --> 00:13:40,032
People need us to survive.
166
00:13:40,121 --> 00:13:43,193
In the balance, nobody's gonna
cry over a random bystander
167
00:13:43,281 --> 00:13:45,670
who got caught in the crossfire.
168
00:13:45,761 --> 00:13:47,479
I am.
169
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:51,152
That's your loss.
170
00:14:02,841 --> 00:14:04,832
Buffy.
171
00:14:08,481 --> 00:14:11,633
Tell me again.
You got home at what time last night?
172
00:14:11,721 --> 00:14:14,395
Late. A little past one, I guess.
173
00:14:15,481 --> 00:14:19,031
Maybe you can explain to me
what a girl your age is doin' out all night.
174
00:14:19,121 --> 00:14:21,192
Just hangin'.
175
00:14:21,281 --> 00:14:23,670
Hanging? By yourself?
176
00:14:23,761 --> 00:14:26,071
No. I was with my friend, Buffy.
177
00:14:26,161 --> 00:14:30,758
- We were at Faith's, watching TV.
- What did you watch?
178
00:14:31,921 --> 00:14:33,639
Some old movie.
179
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:36,032
Infomercial.
180
00:14:36,721 --> 00:14:40,794
That's funny. Cos I've got a couple of
witnesses who put you near the alley.
181
00:14:41,921 --> 00:14:43,912
Witnesses?
182
00:14:48,081 --> 00:14:52,518
Somebody stabbed this guy through
the heart. Strange thing is the weapon.
183
00:14:53,441 --> 00:14:55,432
It was made outta wood.
184
00:14:56,881 --> 00:14:58,872
Any of this mean anything to you?
185
00:14:59,921 --> 00:15:03,357
Yeah. That whoever did it
wasn't hip to the Bronze Age.
186
00:15:05,921 --> 00:15:08,435
Is that it? I'm kinda beat.
187
00:15:10,001 --> 00:15:11,992
Yeah. I have enough for now.
188
00:15:12,641 --> 00:15:16,953
Buffy, if you know something,
if you're protecting someone,
189
00:15:17,921 --> 00:15:21,551
I promise you, it'd be better for everyone
if you come clean.
190
00:15:21,641 --> 00:15:23,632
You mean, am I covering for someone?
191
00:15:23,721 --> 00:15:26,474
Hardly. I'm not the
"throw myself on the sword" type.
192
00:15:26,561 --> 00:15:28,552
I wish I could help you.
193
00:15:30,601 --> 00:15:33,070
Well, call me if you remember anything.
194
00:16:09,361 --> 00:16:10,351
Hey.
195
00:16:11,081 --> 00:16:12,071
Hey.
196
00:16:14,041 --> 00:16:16,032
I need to talk to you.
197
00:16:16,121 --> 00:16:19,512
Good. Cos I've been letting things fester.
198
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:22,512
And I don't like it.
199
00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:25,358
I wanna be fester-free.
200
00:16:26,481 --> 00:16:28,472
Yeah. Me too.
201
00:16:29,321 --> 00:16:31,312
I mean, don't get me wrong.
202
00:16:31,921 --> 00:16:36,154
I completely understand why you and Faith
have been doing the bonding thing.
203
00:16:36,241 --> 00:16:39,472
You guys work together.
You should get along.
204
00:16:39,561 --> 00:16:42,030
- It's more complicated than that.
- But, see,
205
00:16:42,121 --> 00:16:45,477
it's that exact thing that's ticking me off.
206
00:16:45,561 --> 00:16:49,077
It's this whole "slayers only" attitude.
207
00:16:49,161 --> 00:16:53,951
Since when wouldn't I understand?
You talk to me about everything.
208
00:16:54,521 --> 00:16:58,116
It's like all of a sudden
I'm not cool enough for you
209
00:16:58,201 --> 00:17:01,193
because I can't kill things
with my bare hands.
210
00:17:04,041 --> 00:17:06,032
Buffy, don't cry.
211
00:17:06,961 --> 00:17:08,952
I'm sorry.
212
00:17:09,041 --> 00:17:13,592
I was too hard on you. Sometimes I unleash.
I don't know my own strength.
213
00:17:14,681 --> 00:17:17,275
It's bad. I'm bad.
214
00:17:17,361 --> 00:17:19,671
I'm a bad, bad, bad person.
215
00:17:19,761 --> 00:17:21,672
Will, I'm in trouble.
216
00:17:24,081 --> 00:17:26,516
And Faith acts like she doesn't even care.
217
00:17:26,601 --> 00:17:29,832
The way she talks,
it's like she didn't even make a mistake.
218
00:17:30,321 --> 00:17:32,915
Do you think she's, like, in shock?
219
00:17:34,041 --> 00:17:38,000
I don't know. But I think that detective
knows more than he's saying.
220
00:17:38,521 --> 00:17:43,550
- I think he knew that I was lying.
- You have to go to Giles, Buffy.
221
00:17:43,641 --> 00:17:45,791
He'll know what to do.
222
00:18:01,441 --> 00:18:03,432
Giles?
223
00:18:07,881 --> 00:18:09,872
Buffy.
224
00:18:14,641 --> 00:18:19,431
I don't really know how to say this,
so I'm just gonna say it.
225
00:18:21,401 --> 00:18:24,519
I know I've kept things from you before, but...
226
00:18:29,921 --> 00:18:31,719
But...
227
00:18:31,801 --> 00:18:34,759
But I've been blowing off my classes,
228
00:18:34,841 --> 00:18:37,276
you know, in the sense of not attending.
229
00:18:37,361 --> 00:18:40,399
- And...
- It's OK, Buffy. I told him.
230
00:18:43,881 --> 00:18:46,236
- You told him?
- I had to.
231
00:18:47,681 --> 00:18:49,752
He had to know what you did.
232
00:18:49,841 --> 00:18:51,832
What I did?
233
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:57,277
Giles, no. That's not what happened.
234
00:18:57,361 --> 00:18:59,193
- I don't want to hear it.
- No, I...
235
00:18:59,281 --> 00:19:02,592
- I want no more lies.
- You can't be serious. You're setting me up?
236
00:19:02,681 --> 00:19:04,957
In my office. Faith, we'll talk in the morning.
237
00:19:05,041 --> 00:19:07,510
- Giles, please, you have to...
- Now.
238
00:19:15,641 --> 00:19:17,871
I'm sorry.
239
00:19:28,961 --> 00:19:31,157
Giles, I didn't do this. I swear.
240
00:19:31,601 --> 00:19:34,593
Look, I know that I messed up badly.
But the murder was...
241
00:19:34,681 --> 00:19:36,672
Faith. I know.
242
00:19:39,441 --> 00:19:44,675
She may have many talents, Buffy,
but fortunately lying is not one of them.
243
00:19:48,841 --> 00:19:50,832
Oh, God.
244
00:19:52,361 --> 00:19:54,750
- I thought...
- I'm sorry.
245
00:19:56,641 --> 00:20:02,159
I needed her to think that I was on her side.
I don't know how far she'll take this charade.
246
00:20:02,241 --> 00:20:04,232
Try far.
247
00:20:04,321 --> 00:20:06,312
Like, all the way.
248
00:20:08,761 --> 00:20:11,879
- You should have come to me right off.
- I know.
249
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:13,952
Well, I wanted to.
250
00:20:14,361 --> 00:20:17,797
- But Faith wouldn't hear of it?
- It's not all her fault.
251
00:20:17,881 --> 00:20:20,760
We both thought it was a vampire.
I only realised a second before.
252
00:20:20,841 --> 00:20:24,072
Buffy, this is not the first time
something like this has happened.
253
00:20:24,161 --> 00:20:25,151
It's not?
254
00:20:25,241 --> 00:20:28,757
The Slayer is on the front line
of a nightly war.
255
00:20:28,841 --> 00:20:31,515
It's tragic, but accidents have happened.
256
00:20:34,121 --> 00:20:37,512
- What do you do?
- Well, the Council investigates.
257
00:20:38,281 --> 00:20:41,512
Metes out punishment if punishment is due.
258
00:20:41,601 --> 00:20:43,592
I have no plan to involve them.
259
00:20:43,681 --> 00:20:47,037
I mean, it's the last thing
Faith needs at the moment.
260
00:20:47,121 --> 00:20:51,638
She's unstable, Buffy.
She's utterly unable to accept responsibility.
261
00:20:52,641 --> 00:20:54,712
She's freaking.
262
00:20:54,801 --> 00:20:57,759
So then we just have to help her deal, right?
263
00:20:57,841 --> 00:21:02,119
She's in denial. There is no help for her
until she admits what happened.
264
00:21:02,201 --> 00:21:04,192
I could talk to her.
265
00:21:05,561 --> 00:21:06,710
Perhaps.
266
00:21:07,321 --> 00:21:09,312
Or maybe I'm too close.
267
00:21:09,841 --> 00:21:13,436
- Maybe one of the guys could?
- We should meet.
268
00:21:14,561 --> 00:21:17,679
It may be that they're seeing
a different side of her.
269
00:21:17,761 --> 00:21:19,752
OK.
270
00:21:21,441 --> 00:21:23,432
In the meantime,
271
00:21:24,321 --> 00:21:27,313
no one else is to know. Understood?
272
00:21:28,521 --> 00:21:30,159
Of course.
273
00:21:30,241 --> 00:21:32,755
Now this is extremely delicate.
274
00:21:33,801 --> 00:21:37,157
If we scare her off now,
we may lose her forever.
275
00:21:53,481 --> 00:21:56,280
Yes, hello. Mr Travers, please.
Quentin Travers.
276
00:21:57,281 --> 00:21:59,272
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce calling.
277
00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:02,511
The codeword? Monkey.
278
00:22:04,681 --> 00:22:08,515
M-O-N-K... Just put him on, will you?
This is an emergency.
279
00:22:09,921 --> 00:22:12,481
Maybe we should talk to Faith together.
280
00:22:12,561 --> 00:22:15,758
You mean, like that intervention thing
you guys did on me?
281
00:22:16,481 --> 00:22:18,995
As I recall, Xander and I
nearly came to blows.
282
00:22:20,281 --> 00:22:23,512
You nearly came to blows.
I nearly came to loss of limbs.
283
00:22:23,601 --> 00:22:27,435
No, Faith is too defensive
for a confrontation like that.
284
00:22:28,401 --> 00:22:30,790
She'd respond better
to a one-on-one approach.
285
00:22:30,881 --> 00:22:33,077
I can be the one. On her one.
286
00:22:35,601 --> 00:22:38,798
Let's rephrase. I think she might listen to me.
287
00:22:38,881 --> 00:22:41,999
We kind of have a connection.
288
00:22:42,081 --> 00:22:44,470
A connection? Why would you think that...
289
00:22:44,561 --> 00:22:46,916
I'm saying it's worth a shot. That's all.
290
00:22:47,001 --> 00:22:48,992
No, I don't see it, Xander.
291
00:22:49,081 --> 00:22:54,076
I mean, of all of us, you're the one person
arguably Faith has had the least contact with.
292
00:22:54,161 --> 00:22:56,152
Yeah, but we hung out a little.
293
00:22:56,241 --> 00:23:01,441
- Recently. And she seemed to be responsive.
- When did you guys hang out?
294
00:23:01,521 --> 00:23:05,640
She was fighting one of those
apocalypse demon things and I helped her.
295
00:23:05,721 --> 00:23:08,315
- Gave her a ride home.
- And you guys talked?
296
00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:11,592
Not extensively. No.
297
00:23:11,681 --> 00:23:13,672
Then why would you...?
298
00:23:21,681 --> 00:23:24,150
I don't need to say "Oh". I got it before.
299
00:23:24,241 --> 00:23:26,232
They slept together.
300
00:23:31,201 --> 00:23:32,794
Fine. Let's move on.
301
00:23:32,881 --> 00:23:38,718
Look, I know that you mean well, Xander,
but I just don't see Faith opening up to you.
302
00:23:39,721 --> 00:23:45,831
She doesn't take the guys that she
has a connection with very seriously.
303
00:23:46,481 --> 00:23:48,472
They're kind of a big joke to her.
304
00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:51,352
No offence.
305
00:23:52,201 --> 00:23:54,715
Oh, no. I mean,
why would I be offended by that?
306
00:23:54,801 --> 00:23:59,318
However, if you still want to be of assistance,
I need some help with research.
307
00:23:59,401 --> 00:24:02,632
There's still the business of
the Mayor and Mr Trick to attend to.
308
00:24:02,721 --> 00:24:05,759
Yeah. They seemed pretty cosy
the other night.
309
00:24:05,841 --> 00:24:09,038
Willow, can you access the Mayor's files?
310
00:24:10,401 --> 00:24:11,800
What?
311
00:24:12,521 --> 00:24:13,875
Sure. I can try.
312
00:24:13,961 --> 00:24:18,114
Good. Yes. Because, clearly,
we'll need to take a harder look at him.
313
00:24:18,201 --> 00:24:21,159
He's obviously up to something.
314
00:24:22,641 --> 00:24:24,632
What about Faith?
315
00:24:27,001 --> 00:24:29,470
I don't know. We need time.
316
00:24:30,081 --> 00:24:31,833
She needs help now.
317
00:24:34,321 --> 00:24:35,880
I owe her that.
318
00:25:31,721 --> 00:25:33,200
What?
319
00:25:36,761 --> 00:25:39,753
I just came by to see how you are, actually.
320
00:25:40,561 --> 00:25:42,996
Sick of people asking me that, for one thing.
321
00:25:47,841 --> 00:25:50,640
Can I come in? Just to talk, I promise.
322
00:25:51,601 --> 00:25:54,320
Think something could happen
if I didn't want it to?
323
00:25:54,401 --> 00:25:56,278
Yeah. You got me there.
324
00:25:56,361 --> 00:26:00,559
Pretty much not gonna try to take ya
under any circumstances.
325
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:05,470
See? Here. Feel that.
Probably like a wet noodle to ya, huh?
326
00:26:05,561 --> 00:26:07,950
- Five minutes.
- That's all I need.
327
00:26:08,041 --> 00:26:12,319
For talking.
In conversation, I'm quick as a bunny.
328
00:26:12,401 --> 00:26:14,392
The clock is running.
329
00:26:16,681 --> 00:26:22,518
It's just I heard about what happened
and I thought you might need a friend.
330
00:26:22,601 --> 00:26:25,639
So go talk to Buffy.
She's the one who killed the guy.
331
00:26:25,721 --> 00:26:27,712
Yeah. I heard that version.
332
00:26:28,081 --> 00:26:29,310
Version?
333
00:26:30,401 --> 00:26:34,599
Either way, it sounds like it was an accident
and that's the important part.
334
00:26:34,681 --> 00:26:38,993
No. The important part is that
Buffy is the "accidental" murderer.
335
00:26:39,921 --> 00:26:43,391
Faith, you may not think so,
but I sort of know you.
336
00:26:44,521 --> 00:26:49,880
And I've seen you post-battle. And I know,
first hand, that you're like a wild thing.
337
00:26:49,961 --> 00:26:52,794
And, half the time,
you don't know what you're doin'.
338
00:26:52,881 --> 00:26:55,270
And you're living proof of that, aren't you?
339
00:26:55,361 --> 00:26:59,958
See, you can try to hurt me, but right now
you need someone on your side.
340
00:27:00,961 --> 00:27:06,400
What happened wasn't your fault. I'm willing
to testify to that. In court, if you need me.
341
00:27:07,321 --> 00:27:08,994
You'd dig that, wouldn't you?
342
00:27:09,081 --> 00:27:13,871
To get up in front of all your geek pals and
say how I made you my boy toy for a night.
343
00:27:13,961 --> 00:27:17,352
- No. No, that's not it.
- I know what this is all about.
344
00:27:18,121 --> 00:27:21,079
You came by here
cos you want another taste, don't you?
345
00:27:21,161 --> 00:27:22,196
No.
346
00:27:22,281 --> 00:27:25,114
I mean, it was nice. It was great.
347
00:27:26,241 --> 00:27:28,232
It was kind of a blur.
348
00:27:28,321 --> 00:27:29,834
But, OK.
349
00:27:30,681 --> 00:27:32,638
Someday, sure, yay.
350
00:27:32,721 --> 00:27:34,553
But not now.
351
00:27:35,321 --> 00:27:37,119
Not like this.
352
00:27:37,201 --> 00:27:40,273
Well, like how then? Lights on or off?
353
00:27:40,441 --> 00:27:42,751
- Kinks or vanilla?
- Faith, come on.
354
00:27:44,201 --> 00:27:46,192
I came here to help you.
355
00:27:49,961 --> 00:27:51,838
I thought we had a connection.
356
00:27:57,081 --> 00:27:59,231
You wanna feel our connection?
357
00:27:59,321 --> 00:28:01,312
It's just skin.
358
00:28:02,121 --> 00:28:04,397
I see. I want. I take.
359
00:28:07,441 --> 00:28:09,432
I forget.
360
00:28:09,601 --> 00:28:11,592
No. Wait.
361
00:28:12,601 --> 00:28:15,241
- It was more than that.
- I could do anything to you now.
362
00:28:15,321 --> 00:28:17,312
And you want me to.
363
00:28:17,921 --> 00:28:19,912
I could make you scream.
364
00:28:27,721 --> 00:28:29,712
I could make you die.
365
00:29:08,801 --> 00:29:13,637
Finally decided to tie me up, huh? I always
knew you weren't really a one-slayer guy.
366
00:29:13,721 --> 00:29:17,954
I'm sorry about the chains.
It's not that I don't trust you. It...
367
00:29:18,041 --> 00:29:20,191
Actually, it is that I don't trust you.
368
00:29:20,521 --> 00:29:24,515
That thing with Xander... I know what
it looked like, but we were just playin'.
369
00:29:24,601 --> 00:29:26,592
And he forgot the safety word.
370
00:29:26,681 --> 00:29:29,560
- Is that it?
- Safety words are for wusses.
371
00:29:31,881 --> 00:29:34,316
I bet you're not big on trust games, Faith.
372
00:29:34,401 --> 00:29:36,392
You gonna shrink me now, that it?
373
00:29:36,481 --> 00:29:38,916
No. I just wanna talk to you.
374
00:29:39,001 --> 00:29:40,992
That's what they all say.
375
00:29:41,081 --> 00:29:45,234
And then it's "Just let me stay the night.
I won't try anything."
376
00:29:45,321 --> 00:29:48,518
You wanna go the long way around?
I can do that.
377
00:29:50,481 --> 00:29:52,472
I'm not gettin' any older.
378
00:30:07,281 --> 00:30:10,080
- How's she doing?
- It's like talking to a wall.
379
00:30:10,161 --> 00:30:13,358
- Only you get more from a wall.
- But you'll keep trying?
380
00:30:13,441 --> 00:30:16,433
Sure. We're just gettin' started.
381
00:30:16,521 --> 00:30:20,515
- So what do I do?
- Look, right now there's nothing you can do.
382
00:30:22,241 --> 00:30:26,075
This could take a while.
So I'll go to Faith's and get some of her stuff.
383
00:30:26,161 --> 00:30:29,791
- That way she'll see that we're on her side.
- That's a good idea.
384
00:30:29,881 --> 00:30:32,077
- OK. I'll be back.
- Look, I...
385
00:30:33,881 --> 00:30:38,159
I don't want you to get your hopes up, Buffy.
She may not want us to help her.
386
00:30:38,681 --> 00:30:41,036
She does.
She just doesn't know how to say it.
387
00:30:41,121 --> 00:30:44,751
She killed a man.
That changes everything for her.
388
00:30:44,841 --> 00:30:47,754
Giles said, with counselling,
they might not lock her up.
389
00:30:47,841 --> 00:30:49,832
That's not what I mean.
390
00:30:51,201 --> 00:30:53,511
She's taken a life.
391
00:30:53,601 --> 00:30:55,592
I know.
392
00:30:55,681 --> 00:30:58,070
She's got a taste for it now.
393
00:31:02,521 --> 00:31:05,354
Not one slayer, but two.
Right here in the building.
394
00:31:05,921 --> 00:31:09,994
- There was supposed to be a guard.
- Here comes my favourite part.
395
00:31:10,081 --> 00:31:13,711
Where the slayers see us
in the hall together, thick as thieves.
396
00:31:13,801 --> 00:31:16,520
Wait, we are thieves. And worse.
And now they know it.
397
00:31:16,601 --> 00:31:19,241
They're not gonna be much of a threat in jail.
398
00:31:19,321 --> 00:31:22,359
We don't have near enough
evidence to put 'em away.
399
00:31:22,441 --> 00:31:27,151
No. You're gonna have to come up
with a more efficient solution.
400
00:31:27,241 --> 00:31:30,279
And, Mr Trick, you'd better think of it soon.
401
00:31:39,841 --> 00:31:42,276
I know what's goin' on with you.
402
00:31:42,361 --> 00:31:46,241
Join the club.
Everybody seems to have a theory.
403
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:49,439
But I know what it's like to take a life.
404
00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:55,832
Feel a future, a world of possibilities,
snuffed out by your own hand.
405
00:31:57,201 --> 00:32:00,239
I know the power in it. The exhilaration.
406
00:32:01,441 --> 00:32:03,796
- It was like a drug for me.
- Yeah?
407
00:32:03,881 --> 00:32:08,114
Sounds like you need some help.
A professional, maybe.
408
00:32:08,201 --> 00:32:10,761
A professional couldn't have helped me.
409
00:32:12,561 --> 00:32:16,873
It stopped when I got my soul back.
My human heart.
410
00:32:16,961 --> 00:32:19,191
Goody for you.
411
00:32:19,281 --> 00:32:23,673
If we're gonna party, let's get on with it.
Otherwise, let me out of these things.
412
00:32:23,761 --> 00:32:26,230
Faith, you have a choice.
413
00:32:28,241 --> 00:32:30,710
You've tasted something few ever do.
414
00:32:31,681 --> 00:32:34,514
I mean, to kill without remorse
is to feel like a god.
415
00:32:34,921 --> 00:32:38,437
Right now, all I feel
is a cramp in my wrist. Let me go.
416
00:32:38,521 --> 00:32:41,912
But you're not a god.
You're not much more than a child.
417
00:32:43,201 --> 00:32:45,715
Going down this path will ruin you.
418
00:32:46,801 --> 00:32:49,361
You can't imagine the price for true evil.
419
00:32:50,561 --> 00:32:52,313
Yeah?
420
00:32:52,401 --> 00:32:54,961
I hope evil takes MasterCard.
421
00:32:57,841 --> 00:32:59,832
You and me, Faith,
422
00:33:00,681 --> 00:33:02,991
we're a lot alike.
423
00:33:03,081 --> 00:33:07,632
Time was, I thought humans existed
just to hurt each other.
424
00:33:13,641 --> 00:33:15,632
But then I came here.
425
00:33:16,601 --> 00:33:19,593
And I found out that there are
other types of people.
426
00:33:19,681 --> 00:33:21,911
People who genuinely wanted to do right.
427
00:33:26,481 --> 00:33:29,075
And they make mistakes. They fall down.
428
00:33:30,161 --> 00:33:32,914
But they keep caring. Keep trying.
429
00:33:36,241 --> 00:33:39,632
If you can trust us, Faith, this can all change.
430
00:33:41,281 --> 00:33:43,397
You don't have to disappear into the dark.
431
00:33:59,121 --> 00:34:01,112
What?
432
00:34:01,201 --> 00:34:04,114
By the order of
the Watchers' Council of Britain,
433
00:34:04,201 --> 00:34:07,273
I am exercising my authority
and removing you to England,
434
00:34:07,361 --> 00:34:11,480
where you will accept the judgment
of the disciplinary committee.
435
00:34:24,681 --> 00:34:27,150
I'm sorry for the extreme measures.
436
00:34:27,241 --> 00:34:30,438
Unfortunately, this is
a rather extreme circumstance.
437
00:34:30,521 --> 00:34:31,716
Whatever.
438
00:34:31,801 --> 00:34:34,600
Please believe,
nobody is rushing to judgment.
439
00:34:34,681 --> 00:34:38,754
The first priority of both myself
and the Council is to help you.
440
00:34:40,881 --> 00:34:42,474
Now, none of that.
441
00:34:42,561 --> 00:34:46,236
Tighten her restraints.
Faith, there's no point in fighting this.
442
00:34:47,961 --> 00:34:52,034
Have to disagree with you. Unlock these
or I'll pop this guy's head like a grape.
443
00:34:56,361 --> 00:34:59,001
Don't even think about it.
444
00:35:13,801 --> 00:35:16,077
Faith, you can't keep running.
445
00:35:18,841 --> 00:35:20,718
Wrong again, Wes.
446
00:35:44,041 --> 00:35:47,716
It was the new watcher.
He had a couple of guys helpin' him.
447
00:35:47,801 --> 00:35:49,360
Then he figured it out?
448
00:35:49,441 --> 00:35:54,641
Which means Faith will be soon on her way
to England to face the Watchers' Council.
449
00:35:54,721 --> 00:35:58,032
- And then what?
- They'll lock her away for a good long while.
450
00:35:58,681 --> 00:36:01,195
So we head them off at the airport
and stop them.
451
00:36:01,281 --> 00:36:04,034
Can I... I'm just wondering. Why?
452
00:36:05,961 --> 00:36:08,032
I'm not the most objective, I know.
453
00:36:08,121 --> 00:36:12,035
I kinda have an issue with Faith
sharing my people.
454
00:36:12,121 --> 00:36:14,954
But she murdered someone
and accused Buffy.
455
00:36:15,041 --> 00:36:16,873
Then she hurt Xander.
456
00:36:16,961 --> 00:36:19,999
I hate to say it,
but maybe she belongs behind bars.
457
00:36:21,481 --> 00:36:26,237
She's out of control. But Angel was getting
somewhere with her. She was opening up.
458
00:36:26,321 --> 00:36:29,996
- If we could just stop Wesley...
- That's no longer an issue.
459
00:36:30,081 --> 00:36:34,632
- You let her get away?
- "Let" wouldn't be how I'd phrase it, but...
460
00:36:34,721 --> 00:36:37,600
- Yes, she escaped.
- That's good work.
461
00:36:37,681 --> 00:36:40,116
Terrorise her,
then put her back on the streets.
462
00:36:40,201 --> 00:36:43,512
That was hardly my plan.
I was trying to save her.
463
00:36:43,601 --> 00:36:47,993
- But you didn't. You probably destroyed her.
- Buffy, that's enough.
464
00:36:49,961 --> 00:36:52,760
We'd better find her
before she does any more damage.
465
00:36:52,841 --> 00:36:56,152
Let's split up. I'll check the docks.
She's probably there.
466
00:36:56,241 --> 00:36:59,836
Giles, you go to her motel.
Xander, Willow, her haunts. And be careful.
467
00:36:59,921 --> 00:37:01,912
I'll try the airport.
468
00:37:04,401 --> 00:37:06,597
What can I do? I want to help.
469
00:37:07,121 --> 00:37:10,318
Still got your ticket back
to the mother country?
470
00:37:36,281 --> 00:37:38,272
You don't give up, do you?
471
00:37:39,801 --> 00:37:41,792
Not on my friends, no.
472
00:37:41,881 --> 00:37:44,839
Yeah. Because you and me
are such solid buds, right?
473
00:37:45,521 --> 00:37:47,751
We could be. It's not too late.
474
00:37:47,841 --> 00:37:51,630
For me to change and be more like you,
Little Miss Goody Two Shoes?
475
00:37:52,161 --> 00:37:56,837
- It ain't gonna happen, B.
- Faith, nobody's asking you to be like me.
476
00:37:56,921 --> 00:38:00,277
- But you can't go on like this.
- It scares you, doesn't it?
477
00:38:01,361 --> 00:38:05,753
Yeah, it scares me. You're hurting people.
You're hurting yourself.
478
00:38:05,841 --> 00:38:08,754
That's not it.
That's not what bothers you so much.
479
00:38:08,841 --> 00:38:12,721
What bugs you is you know I'm right.
We don't need the law. We are the law.
480
00:38:12,801 --> 00:38:13,677
No.
481
00:38:13,761 --> 00:38:16,480
Yes. You know what I'm about.
You have it in you, too.
482
00:38:16,561 --> 00:38:19,030
- No. You're sick.
- I've seen it. You've got the lust.
483
00:38:19,121 --> 00:38:22,910
- I'm not just talkin' about screwin' vampires.
- Don't bring him into this.
484
00:38:23,001 --> 00:38:26,232
It was good, wasn't it? The sex? The danger?
485
00:38:26,321 --> 00:38:29,757
Bet a part of you even dug him
when he went psycho.
486
00:38:29,841 --> 00:38:31,434
- No.
- You need me to toe the line
487
00:38:31,521 --> 00:38:35,719
because you're afraid you'll go over it.
You can't handle the way I live.
488
00:38:35,801 --> 00:38:37,792
It tempts you. You know it could be you.
489
00:38:41,281 --> 00:38:44,160
- There's my girl.
- No. I'm not gonna do this.
490
00:38:44,241 --> 00:38:46,471
Why not? It feels good. Blood rising.
491
00:40:06,161 --> 00:40:09,677
I hear, once you've tasted a slayer,
you never wanna go back.
492
00:40:12,681 --> 00:40:14,638
Oh, no.
493
00:40:14,721 --> 00:40:16,712
No, this is no good at all.
494
00:40:35,601 --> 00:40:37,592
So she saved you?
495
00:40:37,681 --> 00:40:41,151
She could have left me there
to die, Giles, but she didn't.
496
00:40:41,241 --> 00:40:43,881
She opted to come back to town with you.
497
00:40:44,801 --> 00:40:46,792
That bodes well.
498
00:40:48,561 --> 00:40:52,395
She still has a lot to face
before she can put this behind her.
499
00:40:52,481 --> 00:40:54,677
I'm not gonna give up on her.
500
00:40:57,241 --> 00:40:59,630
Then I think she stands a chance.
501
00:41:21,001 --> 00:41:22,992
You sent your boy to kill me.
502
00:41:23,801 --> 00:41:25,678
That's right. I did.
503
00:41:25,761 --> 00:41:28,071
- He's dust.
- I thought he might be.
504
00:41:28,161 --> 00:41:30,960
What with you standing here and all.
505
00:41:32,161 --> 00:41:35,153
I guess that means you have a job opening.
506
00:42:14,641 --> 00:42:16,712
