00:00:02,265 --> 00:00:04,176
<i>Previously on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer“:</i>

2
00:00:04,265 --> 00:00:07,223
- I'm Faith.
- I'd say there's a new slayer in town.

3
00:00:08,265 --> 00:00:11,223
If violence upsets you,
you're in the wrong line of work.

4
00:00:11,305 --> 00:00:13,342
Or maybe you like it a little too much.

5
00:00:13,425 --> 00:00:14,620
Faith, no!

6
00:00:14,705 --> 00:00:16,264
- You killed a man.
- I don't care.

7
00:00:16,345 --> 00:00:19,497
- She's unstable, Buffy.
- I guess that means you have a job opening.

8
00:00:40,505 --> 00:00:42,496
Well...

9
00:00:43,945 --> 00:00:47,097
- Well...
- That was... very...

10
00:00:48,305 --> 00:00:50,865
artistic.

11
00:00:50,945 --> 00:00:53,414
Yeah.

12
00:00:53,505 --> 00:00:57,214
It wasn't what I expected.
I've never actually seen...

13
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:01,902
Well, from the title,
I thought it was about food.

14
00:01:02,705 --> 00:01:05,015
Well, there was food.

15
00:01:05,105 --> 00:01:08,780
Right. The scene with the... food.

16
00:01:10,785 --> 00:01:14,255
So... feel like getting some hot chocolate?

17
00:01:14,345 --> 00:01:17,178
Or some cold shower?

18
00:01:17,265 --> 00:01:21,498
I'm sorry. I wanted to
take you out somewhere fun.

19
00:01:21,585 --> 00:01:26,864
It's been a long time since I've been
to the movies. They've changed.

20
00:01:26,945 --> 00:01:29,016
A little scary.

21
00:01:29,865 --> 00:01:32,664
And a little not, which is also scary.

22
00:01:34,305 --> 00:01:38,697
I'm sorry. I just don't like
getting you worked up like that.

23
00:01:38,785 --> 00:01:41,504
We can't actually do any of those things.

24
00:01:41,585 --> 00:01:44,782
You'd lose your soul, and besides,
I don't even own a kimono.

25
00:01:44,865 --> 00:01:47,505
Buffy, you don't have to worry about me.

26
00:01:48,345 --> 00:01:50,985
I just don't like to rub your nose in it.

27
00:01:51,065 --> 00:01:53,739
I suddenly wonder where
that expression comes from.

28
00:01:53,825 --> 00:01:58,774
I don't need to see movies to get worked up.
Just being around you does that just fine.

29
00:01:58,865 --> 00:02:02,904
It doesn't mean I'm gonna lose control,
that I'm gonna be frustrated around you.

30
00:02:02,985 --> 00:02:05,784
It feels nice just to feel.

31
00:02:06,385 --> 00:02:09,503
It doesn't drive you crazy when we're close?

32
00:02:10,025 --> 00:02:12,221
Watch this.

33
00:02:22,025 --> 00:02:24,494
You see?

34
00:02:24,585 --> 00:02:26,974
Safe as houses.

35
00:02:34,625 --> 00:02:37,538
Check out the lust bunnies.

36
00:02:42,465 --> 00:02:44,695
Patrol?

37
00:02:45,025 --> 00:02:48,177
- The Council has you back on active duty?
- Finally.

38
00:02:48,665 --> 00:02:51,703
They want us down by Mercer.

39
00:02:51,785 --> 00:02:53,901
OK.

40
00:02:54,425 --> 00:02:56,416
Good night.

41
00:02:58,505 --> 00:03:00,894
- I'll see you soon.
- Don't worry, big guy.

42
00:03:00,985 --> 00:03:03,374
Just keepin' her warm for you.

43
00:03:13,025 --> 00:03:15,494
Gotta tell you, B. The willpower thing?

44
00:03:15,585 --> 00:03:18,259
- Nice job.
- Thanks.

45
00:03:18,345 --> 00:03:21,895
- What?
- The "close, but no cigar" deal with Angel.

46
00:03:21,985 --> 00:03:25,660
I don't know if I could handle, you know,
the way you're not handling it.

47
00:03:25,745 --> 00:03:28,100
Faith, when it comes
to Angel, do me a favour.

48
00:03:28,185 --> 00:03:30,301
Duck!

49
00:03:31,385 --> 00:03:34,776
What are you, nuts?
Goin' around punchin' people?

50
00:03:34,865 --> 00:03:38,017
- People?
- So what? I'm a demon. That makes it OK?

51
00:03:38,385 --> 00:03:42,299
Hold it! Stake me now,
and you never find out what I got for you.

52
00:03:42,385 --> 00:03:46,174
Think about it.
"Demon seeks slayers." Highly unusual?

53
00:03:47,945 --> 00:03:48,980
Talk fast.

54
00:03:49,065 --> 00:03:52,774
How'd you like to get your hands
on the <i>Books of Ascension?</i>

55
00:03:53,865 --> 00:03:57,381
- Never heard of them.
- <i>Books of Ascension</i>. Very powerful works.

56
00:03:57,465 --> 00:04:01,095
And I'm not talkin' about the prose.
They deal with some dark stuff.

57
00:04:01,185 --> 00:04:04,655
And the Mayor would hate it if somebody
got a hold of them before he...

58
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:07,942
- Well, you know.
- Don't know. Before he what?

59
00:04:08,225 --> 00:04:10,694
Hey, read 'em and weep.
That's all I got to say.

60
00:04:10,785 --> 00:04:15,734
Tomorrow I get the books. Meet me here.
If the price is right, I give the books to you.

61
00:04:15,825 --> 00:04:20,854
- Not really looking to trade with a demon.
- In a barter economy, that'd be a problem.

62
00:04:20,945 --> 00:04:23,903
I want cash, princess.
Five large for the whole set.

63
00:04:23,985 --> 00:04:28,502
So you can buy - I'm guessing here -
some skincare products?

64
00:04:28,585 --> 00:04:32,943
Plane ticket out of the Hellmouth
before it's "Adios, Slayer Loco."

65
00:04:33,025 --> 00:04:35,414
So, five Gs. What do you say?

66
00:04:36,065 --> 00:04:38,500
I think "Die, fiend" sums it up.

67
00:04:38,585 --> 00:04:43,534
Let him go. I don't think he falls into
the "deadly threat to humanity" category.

68
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:45,775
A demon's a demon.

69
00:04:45,865 --> 00:04:48,983
I'd like to know more about
these <i>Books</i> of Ascension.

70
00:04:49,065 --> 00:04:52,899
Anything that would
pin the Mayor down would be great.

71
00:04:52,985 --> 00:04:55,374
Yeah. It'd be great.

72
00:05:49,185 --> 00:05:52,496
And what exactly did this demon look like?

73
00:05:52,585 --> 00:05:54,576
Demonic.

74
00:05:55,585 --> 00:05:59,260
And you say he has
the <i>Books of Ascension</i>, or will soon,

75
00:05:59,345 --> 00:06:03,225
and he was, what, willing to sell them?

76
00:06:03,305 --> 00:06:05,694
That's what I said.

77
00:06:06,465 --> 00:06:10,504
You know what I wish?
I wish you'd pull your hair back.

78
00:06:10,585 --> 00:06:13,020
I know. Fashion isn't exactly my "thing".

79
00:06:13,265 --> 00:06:16,621
But gosh darn it, you know,
you've got such a nice face.

80
00:06:16,705 --> 00:06:19,299
I can't understand why you hide it.

81
00:06:19,385 --> 00:06:22,218
Yeah. Sure.

82
00:06:22,305 --> 00:06:26,742
Whatever. It's just a matter of time
before this demon guy's gonna spill.

83
00:06:26,825 --> 00:06:30,022
- Buffy and the Superfriends are gonna...
- You worry too much.

84
00:06:30,105 --> 00:06:33,814
That's unnecessary stress.
Luckily, I've got just the thing.

85
00:06:41,945 --> 00:06:46,223
There you go. Now, first
you load up on calcium,

86
00:06:46,305 --> 00:06:51,061
then find this demon, kill the heck
out of him, and bring the books to me.

87
00:06:52,585 --> 00:06:57,944
- And if Buffy gets to him first?
- Well, frankly, I don't like to think about that.

88
00:06:58,025 --> 00:07:00,539
I like good, positive, "up" thoughts.

89
00:07:00,625 --> 00:07:02,935
If you failed me in that way...

90
00:07:03,025 --> 00:07:07,019
Well, you know, replacing
Mr Trick was chore enough.

91
00:07:07,105 --> 00:07:09,415
Come on, don't worry. Drink up.

92
00:07:09,785 --> 00:07:13,221
There's nothing uncool
about healthy teeth and bones.

93
00:07:13,305 --> 00:07:16,377
And you say this demon wanted cash?

94
00:07:16,465 --> 00:07:19,696
- That's very unusual.
- Demons after money.

95
00:07:19,785 --> 00:07:23,824
What happened to the still beating heart
of a virgin? No one has standards any more.

96
00:07:23,905 --> 00:07:28,422
- He said the books were worth the price.
- What's this Ascension mean?

97
00:07:30,585 --> 00:07:34,021
- I'm not sure.
- Not really a common term in demonology.

98
00:07:35,265 --> 00:07:37,984
<i>The Merenshtadt Text.</i>

99
00:07:38,065 --> 00:07:41,945
I think in the section on genocide
they mention Ascension.

100
00:07:42,025 --> 00:07:45,302
- We have a winner.
- And, more importantly, two losers.

101
00:07:46,145 --> 00:07:49,058
- Where did you find that?
- In the top of your cabinet,

102
00:07:49,145 --> 00:07:51,739
with the stuff you try to keep hidden.

103
00:07:51,825 --> 00:07:55,420
Hidden? Are there any engravings
I should know about?

104
00:07:55,505 --> 00:07:57,576
Frolicking nymphs of some kind?

105
00:07:57,665 --> 00:08:01,579
No, just magic secrets
Giles doesn't think I'm ready for.

106
00:08:02,825 --> 00:08:04,657
Yes. Here we are.

107
00:08:04,745 --> 00:08:08,375
There's a reference here
to the journal of Desmond Kane,

108
00:08:08,465 --> 00:08:10,775
pastor of a town called Sharpsville.

109
00:08:11,025 --> 00:08:13,380
"May 26, 1723."

110
00:08:13,465 --> 00:08:17,060
"Tomorrow is the Ascension.
God help us all."

111
00:08:17,145 --> 00:08:20,422
- That was the last anyone heard.
- Of Kane?

112
00:08:21,425 --> 00:08:24,543
Of Sharpsville. The town
more or less disappeared.

113
00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:27,185
So, Ascension possibly not a love-in.

114
00:08:27,545 --> 00:08:32,665
- I think you should meet with this demon.
- Yeah? Anybody got $5,000?

115
00:08:34,265 --> 00:08:36,654
I have something important to ask you.

116
00:08:36,745 --> 00:08:40,181
Important? Let's start
calculating those odds, people.

117
00:08:40,265 --> 00:08:42,654
What are you doing Friday night?

118
00:08:44,585 --> 00:08:49,375
As always, my sacred duty
as a watcher prevents me from...

119
00:08:49,465 --> 00:08:52,662
- Why?
- I have a paper to write, for English.

120
00:08:52,745 --> 00:08:56,625
And you're English, so I thought...

121
00:08:57,105 --> 00:09:01,497
What? Is it so wrong to be
getting an insider's perspective?

122
00:09:03,345 --> 00:09:07,896
I study best in a good restaurant,
around eightish?

123
00:09:07,985 --> 00:09:10,181
Think it over?

124
00:09:14,825 --> 00:09:19,058
On the day the words "flimsy excuse" were
redefined, we stood in awe and watched.

125
00:09:19,145 --> 00:09:22,536
Right. <i>Books of Ascension</i>. Mayor. Slaughter.

126
00:09:24,905 --> 00:09:29,820
Tell you what. Why don't we try to find
this demon sooner rather than later,

127
00:09:29,905 --> 00:09:32,943
perhaps persuade him to lend us
the books free of charge?

128
00:09:33,025 --> 00:09:36,177
I think Faith might be useful
in that "persuasion" part.

129
00:09:36,265 --> 00:09:39,098
I imagine so. Where is Faith, anyway?

130
00:09:49,465 --> 00:09:52,901
Hey! Slayer. You know,
I wasn't expecting company.

131
00:09:52,985 --> 00:09:55,579
Give me a minute,
and I'll have the place tidied up.

132
00:09:55,665 --> 00:09:59,101
- You got the books?
- Well, that depends.

133
00:09:59,185 --> 00:10:01,256
You got my money?

134
00:10:04,945 --> 00:10:07,983
You're tough in negotiations,
and I respect that.

135
00:10:11,545 --> 00:10:14,742
Check 'em out.
Now, that is quality merchandise.

136
00:10:14,825 --> 00:10:17,783
- Worth five grand,  easy.
<i>- Books of Ascension.</i>

137
00:10:17,865 --> 00:10:21,142
Original editions and everything.
Great condition.

138
00:10:21,225 --> 00:10:26,618
OK, it's a little worn on one spine,
some slight foxing, but otherwise perfect.

139
00:10:27,145 --> 00:10:30,979
Now, the five grand.
It's, you know, negotiable.

140
00:10:32,345 --> 00:10:34,143
I don't like to haggle.

141
00:11:11,985 --> 00:11:14,056
Faith.

142
00:11:14,345 --> 00:11:16,336
Angel...

143
00:11:17,265 --> 00:11:19,984
I got nowhere else to go.

144
00:11:20,065 --> 00:11:22,454
Look, I hate asking for help,

145
00:11:23,105 --> 00:11:25,824
but I'm asking cos...

146
00:11:25,905 --> 00:11:28,897
I'm in trouble, like, the real bad kind.

147
00:11:29,665 --> 00:11:31,144
It's OK.

148
00:11:31,225 --> 00:11:34,263
No, it's a couple of county lines
over from OK, believe me.

149
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:37,815
I believe you. Look, just talk.

150
00:11:38,825 --> 00:11:41,499
Come on. Start from the beginning.

151
00:11:42,305 --> 00:11:47,141
Mind if I skip past the "Mom never loved me"
part and get right to it?

152
00:11:47,785 --> 00:11:51,016
- I'm scared of myself.
- I know the feeling.

153
00:11:51,225 --> 00:11:54,741
That's why I came to you.
I don't want to get all 12-steppy, but...

154
00:11:54,825 --> 00:11:59,979
remember when you told me killing people
would make me feel like some kind of god?

155
00:12:01,065 --> 00:12:06,185
I think I just came down to earth.
It's not human, if that's what you're thinking.

156
00:12:06,265 --> 00:12:10,941
Not that that makes me feel any better,
or this guy any less dead.

157
00:12:11,025 --> 00:12:14,177
Faith, you need help. You can't do this alone.

158
00:12:15,105 --> 00:12:18,143
I know. For real now, I'm scared.

159
00:12:18,225 --> 00:12:21,024
Scared of what I am, what I'm turning into.

160
00:12:21,105 --> 00:12:24,097
A cold-blooded straight-up killer. Like you.

161
00:12:24,185 --> 00:12:27,018
Not like me. I didn't have a choice.

162
00:12:27,105 --> 00:12:29,415
But you do. Look, you can stop this.

163
00:12:29,505 --> 00:12:32,657
Believe me, I don't want to end up
the way everyone said I would.

164
00:12:32,745 --> 00:12:35,976
- Dead, or alone or a loser.
- You don't have to.

165
00:12:36,065 --> 00:12:38,705
I don't know. Maybe it's too late for me.

166
00:12:38,785 --> 00:12:41,061
It's not.

167
00:12:41,145 --> 00:12:43,534
Angel, I'm so scared.

168
00:12:44,105 --> 00:12:46,415
It's all right. It's OK.

169
00:13:00,705 --> 00:13:02,537
Faith. I...

170
00:13:02,625 --> 00:13:06,255
Look, I can be here for you,
but not like that, all right?

171
00:13:07,145 --> 00:13:10,342
- I'm with Buffy.
- Buffy. Yeah.

172
00:13:11,745 --> 00:13:14,134
I didn't mean it like that.

173
00:13:16,585 --> 00:13:20,544
Maybe I did... but I wouldn't press it.

174
00:13:23,585 --> 00:13:25,861
You love her, don't you?

175
00:13:25,945 --> 00:13:28,061
- I love her.
- Good for you.

176
00:13:28,505 --> 00:13:30,894
The two of you. You're lucky.

177
00:13:33,345 --> 00:13:35,336
Are we friends?

178
00:13:35,425 --> 00:13:38,224
- We're friends.
- Then I'm lucky too.

179
00:13:40,825 --> 00:13:43,214
I better go.

180
00:13:44,225 --> 00:13:46,216
Where?

181
00:13:46,305 --> 00:13:49,104
I need to cool down, spend some time alone.

182
00:13:50,265 --> 00:13:52,700
Don't worry about me.
You've been a big help.

183
00:13:52,785 --> 00:13:55,174
Just knowing somebody cares.

184
00:13:58,945 --> 00:14:03,815
Hey, I know I shouldn't be asking this, but...
do you think if things were different

185
00:14:03,905 --> 00:14:07,216
that things between
you and me'd be different too?

186
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:09,899
- We'll never know.
- Right.

187
00:14:10,945 --> 00:14:13,744
- How could we?
- Take care of yourself.

188
00:14:17,265 --> 00:14:19,654
Lifetime of practice.

189
00:14:27,385 --> 00:14:31,822
- It's not like I wasn't trying, OK?
- Hey, I'm sure you gave it your level best.

190
00:14:31,905 --> 00:14:34,374
I don't understand what he could be thinking.

191
00:14:34,465 --> 00:14:37,901
Try "Buffy Summers".
Like in a big, fat, one-track way.

192
00:14:37,985 --> 00:14:40,818
Hey, come on. Don't be discouraged.

193
00:14:40,905 --> 00:14:45,581
You're a bright, energetic girl with a whole
life ahead of her. I won't tolerate brooding.

194
00:14:45,665 --> 00:14:48,054
So you couldn't give him
a moment of happiness.

195
00:14:48,145 --> 00:14:50,534
I was thinking more of a long weekend.

196
00:14:50,625 --> 00:14:54,823
And he spurned your advances. So be it.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.

197
00:14:54,905 --> 00:14:57,579
And I happen to know that's factually true.

198
00:14:57,665 --> 00:15:02,102
We wanna take Angel's soul away.
If we can't do it by giving him happiness,

199
00:15:02,185 --> 00:15:07,783
well, by golly, we'll just have to do it
in the most painful way imaginable.

200
00:15:17,505 --> 00:15:19,496
Find anything?

201
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:23,624
A six-course banquet of nothing with
a scoop of sod all as a palate cleanser.

202
00:15:23,705 --> 00:15:26,094
I've had no better luck.

203
00:15:28,705 --> 00:15:32,619
There must be something
about this Ascension somewhere.

204
00:15:33,625 --> 00:15:37,937
- Perhaps I should contact the Council...
- No. I don't...

205
00:15:38,025 --> 00:15:40,460
It should be I that...

206
00:15:40,545 --> 00:15:45,142
The Council isn't entirely aware
that I'm letting you work for me.

207
00:15:47,385 --> 00:15:49,262
With me.

208
00:15:49,345 --> 00:15:52,178
I don't think they'd be very happy at the idea.

209
00:15:52,265 --> 00:15:57,499
I wasn't about to burst into glorious song
about it myself. Why don't you call them?

210
00:15:57,585 --> 00:16:01,579
I think the most expedient plan would be
to find these <i>Books of Ascension.</i>

211
00:16:01,665 --> 00:16:05,101
Buffy, you and Faith must find this demon.

212
00:16:06,105 --> 00:16:09,018
- And soon.
- Well, I'll go back to the scene,

213
00:16:09,105 --> 00:16:11,096
see if I can track him.

214
00:16:11,185 --> 00:16:13,415
Wait for Faith.

215
00:16:13,505 --> 00:16:17,339
That could be hours.
The girl makes Godot look punctual.

216
00:16:17,425 --> 00:16:20,144
I'll just go myself.

217
00:16:20,225 --> 00:16:24,935
Buffy, this is a job for the both of you.
This demon could be anywhere.

218
00:16:25,025 --> 00:16:29,735
If these books are as important as he says,
he has good reason to hide.

219
00:16:29,825 --> 00:16:33,614
- Finding him will be extremely difficult.
- Found your demon.

220
00:16:33,705 --> 00:16:36,777
Fashion tip, Wes? Mouth looks better closed.

221
00:16:37,785 --> 00:16:41,699
I got the address. I beat it
out of Willy the Snitch personally.

222
00:16:42,825 --> 00:16:45,214
- You beat up Willy.
- Sure.

223
00:16:45,305 --> 00:16:48,104
Well, actually, let's say
I applied some pressure.

224
00:16:48,185 --> 00:16:52,144
Or more accurately,
that I asked politely, and then...

225
00:16:52,825 --> 00:16:55,419
- OK, I bribed him.
- How much?

226
00:16:55,505 --> 00:16:58,338
28 bucks. Does the Council
reimburse for that?

227
00:16:58,425 --> 00:17:01,099
- Did you get a receipt?
- Damn.

228
00:17:01,185 --> 00:17:04,143
I know this. It's down by the bus station.

229
00:17:04,225 --> 00:17:07,502
- Not the nicest part of town.
- Again, see? No standards.

230
00:17:07,585 --> 00:17:11,818
I mean, any self-respecting demon should be
living in a pit of filth or a nice crypt.

231
00:17:11,905 --> 00:17:14,579
I'll remember to mention that.

232
00:17:14,665 --> 00:17:18,624
Mention what?
Where are we going, girlfriend?

233
00:17:18,705 --> 00:17:22,460
- Actually I can handle this one solo.
- Why should you get to have all the fun?

234
00:17:22,545 --> 00:17:24,775
Share, share, that's fair, right?

235
00:17:26,985 --> 00:17:28,976
Right.

236
00:17:29,065 --> 00:17:31,056
We found our demon.

237
00:17:32,985 --> 00:17:35,374
Well, let's go look him up.

238
00:17:40,345 --> 00:17:43,337
Is it me, or did it just get really cold in here?

239
00:17:49,145 --> 00:17:51,341
- Faith, careful.
- Right.

240
00:17:57,065 --> 00:18:00,854
- Missed you last night.
- Yeah. I was patrolling.

241
00:18:00,945 --> 00:18:04,017
No shortage of scum
you gotta watch in Sunnydale, right?

242
00:18:04,105 --> 00:18:06,415
So I've heard.

243
00:18:14,225 --> 00:18:18,298
- Looks like somebody got here first.
- I'm bettin' they got the books, too.

244
00:18:18,385 --> 00:18:20,581
Some hit.

245
00:18:21,185 --> 00:18:25,099
This wasn’t just a hit.
This is somebody's idea of a party.

246
00:18:26,385 --> 00:18:28,774
Maybe the guy put up a fight.

247
00:18:30,425 --> 00:18:34,020
We gotta get goin'. Come on.
Nothin' we can do here now.

248
00:18:34,105 --> 00:18:36,301
You coming?

249
00:18:43,625 --> 00:18:45,616
Mint?

250
00:18:46,145 --> 00:18:48,136
Didn't think so.

251
00:18:48,865 --> 00:18:54,543
Well, scheduling a man of your talents
is quite the chore, I'll tell you.

252
00:18:54,625 --> 00:18:58,858
Between the chanting and the sacrifice...
My golf game is shot.

253
00:18:58,945 --> 00:19:01,221
But here you are.

254
00:19:02,065 --> 00:19:04,136
You know why I've summoned you.

255
00:19:04,465 --> 00:19:06,581
Can you do it?

256
00:19:06,665 --> 00:19:11,375
Need anything from me?
You're not much of a people person, are you?

257
00:19:11,465 --> 00:19:15,379
You have risked great danger
in calling on me.

258
00:19:15,465 --> 00:19:18,821
The deadliest Magicks are needed
to rob this creature of its soul.

259
00:19:18,905 --> 00:19:22,341
- Big job, all right.
- And so it shall be done.

260
00:19:22,425 --> 00:19:27,784
That's just swell. Listen, are you sure
you don't want any? They're low calorie.

261
00:19:28,545 --> 00:19:30,536
OK.

262
00:19:36,545 --> 00:19:38,821
Are you OK?

263
00:19:38,905 --> 00:19:41,260
You seem a little on edge.

264
00:19:41,345 --> 00:19:43,700
Is there anything that's wrong?

265
00:19:43,785 --> 00:19:45,981
It's nothing.

266
00:19:46,265 --> 00:19:48,700
It's nothing.

267
00:19:48,785 --> 00:19:52,415
All right, all right. Stop with the third degree.

268
00:19:52,505 --> 00:19:55,816
- It's Faith.
- What about her?

269
00:19:55,905 --> 00:20:00,263
I went to Angel's last night...
and Faith was there.

270
00:20:00,345 --> 00:20:03,303
They looked sort of intimate.

271
00:20:03,385 --> 00:20:07,140
No way. I know what
you're thinking, and no way.

272
00:20:07,225 --> 00:20:10,138
You're right. Faith would never do that.

273
00:20:10,225 --> 00:20:12,375
Faith would totally do that.

274
00:20:12,465 --> 00:20:15,821
Faith was built to do that.
She's the "Do That Girl".

275
00:20:15,905 --> 00:20:18,374
- Comfort. Remember, comfort?
- I mean, please.

276
00:20:18,465 --> 00:20:21,264
Does Angel come up to
Faith's standards for a guy?

277
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:25,737
- Let's see, is he breathing?
- Actually, no.

278
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:27,975
But Buffy, Angel.

279
00:20:28,065 --> 00:20:31,183
There's no way he would ever do that.

280
00:20:31,265 --> 00:20:34,257
I mean, you're the only thing
in the world to him.

281
00:20:34,345 --> 00:20:36,905
Sometimes I wonder.

282
00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:39,374
Angel and Faith have a lot in common.

283
00:20:40,825 --> 00:20:43,294
And there's so much he doesn't tell me.

284
00:20:43,385 --> 00:20:45,615
But it's so clear.

285
00:20:45,705 --> 00:20:48,265
The way he feels about you?

286
00:20:48,345 --> 00:20:54,341
Buffy, I too know the love of a taciturn man,
and you have to look at their actions.

287
00:20:54,665 --> 00:20:58,659
- I was.
- Well, what did he say?

288
00:20:59,105 --> 00:21:04,657
Say? You mean when I straightforwardly
asked him what was going on?

289
00:21:04,745 --> 00:21:08,101
- So you bailed?
- I couldn't. I mean... not there.

290
00:21:08,185 --> 00:21:10,381
Enough.

291
00:21:10,465 --> 00:21:12,775
Stop with the crazy. Go talk to Angel.

292
00:21:12,865 --> 00:21:16,256
- But I just...
- No. Go. I give you leave to go.

293
00:21:19,385 --> 00:21:21,376
Thank you.

294
00:21:31,545 --> 00:21:33,741
- Faith.
- Hey.

295
00:21:34,665 --> 00:21:38,181
- Sorry to bust in uninvited.
- What do you want?

296
00:21:38,265 --> 00:21:40,415
Look, I'm not so good at apologies.

297
00:21:40,505 --> 00:21:45,056
Mostly cos I think the world's out to
screw me, so I'm more owed than owing.

298
00:21:45,145 --> 00:21:49,264
But I've been thinking about last night,
and I want you to know I'm really sorry.

299
00:21:49,345 --> 00:21:52,019
- It's all right.
- No, it's not all right.

300
00:21:52,105 --> 00:21:55,735
Yeah, I was freaked. I needed somebody.

301
00:21:55,825 --> 00:21:58,817
But you're with Buffy. I should know better.

302
00:21:58,905 --> 00:22:00,862
OK.

303
00:22:04,065 --> 00:22:06,864
- You don't trust me.
- It's not that.

304
00:22:07,305 --> 00:22:09,819
Hey, no problem. Join the club.

305
00:22:13,025 --> 00:22:18,623
Look, Faith... Look, I know what you're goin'
through, all right? And how hard it can be.

306
00:22:18,705 --> 00:22:22,414
It's important that you have
somebody who's been there, OK?

307
00:22:22,505 --> 00:22:25,543
Who understands what you're goin' through.

308
00:22:27,345 --> 00:22:30,019
I wanna trust you.

309
00:22:30,105 --> 00:22:32,221
Chump.

310
00:22:45,385 --> 00:22:46,181
Faith!

311
00:22:46,265 --> 00:22:49,223
I wanted to do this
the old-fashioned way, but your loss.

312
00:22:49,305 --> 00:22:52,343
- I got tricks Buffy don't know.
- You don't have to do this.

313
00:22:52,425 --> 00:22:56,055
I know. But it's fun.
Now relax. It'll all be over soon.

314
00:23:39,905 --> 00:23:42,465
Thanks... so much.

315
00:23:44,705 --> 00:23:47,504
It's good to have the taste
of a slayer back in my mouth.

316
00:23:47,585 --> 00:23:52,102
It's like cigarettes, you know?
Just when I thought I'd quit.

317
00:23:52,185 --> 00:23:54,222
No, really. Don't get up.

318
00:23:58,185 --> 00:24:00,461
It's good to be back in Sunnydale.

319
00:24:00,545 --> 00:24:05,494
Nice climate, plenty to eat,
no tortured humanity to hold me down.

320
00:24:05,585 --> 00:24:08,179
But you know what bothers me?

321
00:24:09,185 --> 00:24:11,904
You don't seem to be gettin'
the big picture here.

322
00:24:11,985 --> 00:24:17,776
Now, I don't know why you turned me.
But let me tell you, I'm just glad you did.

323
00:24:20,945 --> 00:24:23,300
- I got my reasons.
- Let me guess.

324
00:24:23,385 --> 00:24:27,743
You summoned back the true Angelus
because you need a new boy toy?

325
00:24:27,825 --> 00:24:30,544
I'm sorry. Doesn't work that way.

326
00:24:33,585 --> 00:24:37,897
- You wanna be smart? You listen to me.
- Funny thing about vampires, Faith.

327
00:24:37,985 --> 00:24:40,818
We don't establish
meaningful dialogue with slayers.

328
00:24:40,905 --> 00:24:43,340
Not how Buffy tells it.

329
00:24:46,865 --> 00:24:50,824
- I should have known you'd like it on top.
- You wanna listen or do you wanna die?

330
00:24:50,905 --> 00:24:54,694
As long as you're there, I mostly
want you to wriggle. But I'm listening.

331
00:24:54,785 --> 00:24:57,903
Last time you got like this,
Buffy kicked your ass back to Hell.

332
00:24:57,985 --> 00:25:01,376
- Do you wanna do better this time?
- Still listening.

333
00:25:01,465 --> 00:25:02,864
Good boy.

334
00:25:02,945 --> 00:25:07,815
Now, you play nice and call truce, and I'll
hook you up with the real power in this town.

335
00:25:07,905 --> 00:25:10,374
- Interested?
- Very.

336
00:25:10,465 --> 00:25:13,059
Then get ready to meet the new boss.

337
00:25:17,505 --> 00:25:22,944
Our enemy has us at a disadvantage. We
seem consistently to be one step behind him.

338
00:25:23,025 --> 00:25:26,859
Now he has the <i>Books of Ascension</i>,
we must take definitive action.

339
00:25:26,945 --> 00:25:32,224
You have the greatest voice. Have you
ever thought about doing books on tape?

340
00:25:32,305 --> 00:25:34,865
- Way to focus, CC.
- Yes, let's...

341
00:25:34,945 --> 00:25:38,620
Let's try to stay on track.
We need everyone working together here.

342
00:25:38,705 --> 00:25:40,776
- Where's Angel?
- I don't know.

343
00:25:40,865 --> 00:25:43,903
I went to the mansion, but he wasn't there.

344
00:25:43,985 --> 00:25:47,023
- And Faith?
- She's missing, too.

345
00:25:47,105 --> 00:25:50,575
Which means nothing.
Two unconnected events.

346
00:25:51,985 --> 00:25:56,536
- What shall we do?
- Try to retrieve the <i>Books of Ascension.</i>

347
00:25:56,625 --> 00:26:01,904
Check out the Mayor's office, but be
damned careful. Do not confront the Mayor.

348
00:26:01,985 --> 00:26:04,022
I'll go home and stock up on weapons,

349
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:07,336
slip into something
a little more break-and-enterish.

350
00:26:07,425 --> 00:26:11,180
Right. Willow, how far
did you get with the Mayor's files?

351
00:26:11,265 --> 00:26:14,656
Excuse me. I believe
Wesley is running this meeting.

352
00:26:15,185 --> 00:26:17,381
It's quite all right.

353
00:26:17,465 --> 00:26:20,025
- Willow?
- It's all bad news.

354
00:26:20,105 --> 00:26:24,019
By the time I got through the encryptions,
the files were empty.

355
00:26:24,105 --> 00:26:27,336
- I guess he saw me coming.
- What about the Hall of Records?

356
00:26:27,425 --> 00:26:29,701
- Go to the source.
- Good idea.

357
00:26:29,785 --> 00:26:34,905
- There must be information there.
- Why not take the group and start looking?

358
00:26:34,985 --> 00:26:37,295
- Right.
- I'm in Wesley's group.

359
00:26:38,985 --> 00:26:42,376
- There is just the one group.
- Yes. And I'm in it.

360
00:26:43,625 --> 00:26:47,584
Anyone mind if I skip the trip? I'm gonna
cruise town, keep my ear to the ground.

361
00:26:47,665 --> 00:26:50,657
- And I think five's a crowd.
- It really is.

362
00:26:52,145 --> 00:26:54,785
- I'll drive.
- They liked your plan.

363
00:26:59,225 --> 00:27:02,183
If anyone finds anything, check in with me.

364
00:27:03,065 --> 00:27:05,056
Be careful.

365
00:27:09,465 --> 00:27:11,854
So, can I keep him?

366
00:27:12,745 --> 00:27:18,218
Let's just take things step by step.
Now then, Angelus. May I call you Angel?

367
00:27:18,305 --> 00:27:23,015
Well, actually, I'm thinking more
along the lines of you calling me "Master".

368
00:27:23,105 --> 00:27:28,578
You know, Angelus, attitude may get you
attention, but courtesy wins respect.

369
00:27:28,665 --> 00:27:32,260
I am the one responsible
for your new attitude.

370
00:27:32,345 --> 00:27:34,985
That's why I'm here.

371
00:27:36,305 --> 00:27:39,616
No trouble with the transition?
No side effects?

372
00:27:39,705 --> 00:27:42,219
Had a soul, now I'm free.

373
00:27:42,305 --> 00:27:47,095
That's terrific. Poetic, too.
Not that I read much poetry.

374
00:27:47,185 --> 00:27:50,541
Except the little ones in Reader's Digest.
Some are quite catchy.

375
00:27:50,625 --> 00:27:55,142
Hey, I don't mean to rush things here, but
are you trying to get to some kind of point?

376
00:27:55,225 --> 00:27:57,216
Kids today. Rush, rush, rush.

377
00:27:57,305 --> 00:28:01,936
Well, the point, Angel, is you're
a very powerful young man, good for Faith.

378
00:28:02,025 --> 00:28:05,256
And there just may be
a future for you here in Sunnydale.

379
00:28:05,345 --> 00:28:07,655
I see you're admiring my letter opener.

380
00:28:07,745 --> 00:28:12,296
Well, actually, I was thinking
of stabbing you through the heart with it.

381
00:28:13,185 --> 00:28:15,176
Please do.

382
00:28:22,545 --> 00:28:24,775
Nice shot.

383
00:28:36,105 --> 00:28:41,578
You see, I'm what you might call...
"impervious".

384
00:28:41,665 --> 00:28:44,054
Can't be killed, or harmed in any way.

385
00:28:44,145 --> 00:28:48,901
And that's just a cornerstone in my plans
for this great town of ours.

386
00:28:50,945 --> 00:28:55,894
- Can't be killed. But you don't like germs.
- Awful things. Unsanitary.

387
00:28:55,985 --> 00:29:00,377
But my question is, now that Faith has
brought you back, what are your intentions?

388
00:29:00,465 --> 00:29:04,663
Well, gee, sir, I thought I'd find that slayer
that's giving you so much trouble,

389
00:29:04,745 --> 00:29:07,942
and torture, maim and kill her.

390
00:29:09,545 --> 00:29:15,461
Fine. It's nice to see you're not one of those
"slacker" types running around town today.

391
00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:19,300
Yeah. Torture Buffy. Killing her's fine.
Just make it a slow one.

392
00:29:19,385 --> 00:29:21,376
- My favourite kind.
- Wonderful.

393
00:29:21,465 --> 00:29:24,025
We don't want a replacement
slayer anytime soon.

394
00:29:24,105 --> 00:29:27,496
They can't all turn out like my girl Faith.

395
00:29:27,985 --> 00:29:30,579
- Have fun.
- Let's do it.

396
00:29:34,745 --> 00:29:37,134
Try to have her home by 11.

397
00:29:44,265 --> 00:29:46,654
She's not a little girl any more.

398
00:29:48,385 --> 00:29:52,856
"I love when you talk, Wesley.
I love when you sing, Wesley."

399
00:29:52,945 --> 00:29:56,415
Can you say the words "jail bait", Wesley?
Limey bastard!

400
00:29:56,505 --> 00:29:58,462
Hey, guys. Where you been?

401
00:29:58,545 --> 00:30:01,981
You gotta find Buffy. She's going
to her place to stock up...

402
00:30:02,065 --> 00:30:04,739
That guy just bugs me.

403
00:30:11,665 --> 00:30:14,862
- Faith. Angel.
- Hi, Joyce. Nice to see you. ls Buffy home?

404
00:30:14,945 --> 00:30:19,064
Upstairs. Please tell me
it's not some vampire thing.

405
00:30:19,305 --> 00:30:21,865
The only vampire here is me, Joyce.

406
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:23,982
Say... did you change your hair?

407
00:30:25,545 --> 00:30:28,298
Highlights.

408
00:30:28,385 --> 00:30:30,376
Looks nice.

409
00:30:38,665 --> 00:30:40,463
Knock, knock.

410
00:30:42,745 --> 00:30:44,861
- Where have you been?
- Looking for you.

411
00:30:44,945 --> 00:30:48,461
Good thing we found you before you left.

412
00:30:49,425 --> 00:30:52,065
- We got the books.
- They're at the mansion.

413
00:30:52,465 --> 00:30:57,665
We'd take 'em to Giles ourselves, but
I think strength in numbers is the way to go.

414
00:30:59,545 --> 00:31:01,934
Let me get those for you.

415
00:31:11,025 --> 00:31:14,575
OK, let's get the books
some place safe. Where are they?

416
00:31:15,785 --> 00:31:19,141
Actually, there's been
a slight change in plan, Buff.

417
00:31:19,225 --> 00:31:22,104
"Buff"? You just called...

418
00:31:24,025 --> 00:31:26,824
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing.

419
00:31:26,905 --> 00:31:29,135
Matter of fact,

420
00:31:29,225 --> 00:31:32,058
I haven't felt this good in a long time.

421
00:31:32,145 --> 00:31:33,704
Angel?

422
00:31:33,785 --> 00:31:38,018
You know, I never properly thanked you
for sending me to Hell.

423
00:31:38,105 --> 00:31:41,257
- No.
- And I'm just wondering, where do I start?

424
00:31:41,345 --> 00:31:45,020
A card? Fruit basket? Evisceration?

425
00:31:45,105 --> 00:31:46,937
- No.
- I know what you're thinking.

426
00:31:47,025 --> 00:31:53,055
Maybe there's some good deep inside of me
that loves you, if only you could reach me.

427
00:31:53,145 --> 00:31:55,295
But then again, we have reality.

428
00:31:56,785 --> 00:31:59,777
I will kill you before I let you touch me.

429
00:32:02,785 --> 00:32:05,299
Faith, we need to get out of here. Now.

430
00:32:05,385 --> 00:32:07,661
Speak for yourself, B.

431
00:32:07,745 --> 00:32:10,134
Me? I like it here.

432
00:32:19,145 --> 00:32:23,184
One thing I learned about Buffy.
She's so cute when she's sleeping.

433
00:32:30,345 --> 00:32:34,942
Hey, I know a way to make
investigating the Mayor even more boring.

434
00:32:36,665 --> 00:32:40,260
- On second thought, no, I don't.
- Hey, whoa.

435
00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:44,418
Whoa. Big "hey, whoa".

436
00:32:44,505 --> 00:32:46,894
Guys, check this out.

437
00:32:50,145 --> 00:32:52,182
Like father, like son.

438
00:32:52,265 --> 00:32:55,940
How about "like exact same guy,
like exact same guy"?

439
00:32:56,025 --> 00:32:59,336
Mayor Wilkins is over 100 years old.

440
00:32:59,425 --> 00:33:02,895
- He's not human.
- I hate to spoil the mood.

441
00:33:03,385 --> 00:33:07,902
- But this is so much worse than you think.
- Xander. What happened to you?

442
00:33:08,385 --> 00:33:11,901
You know how some people
hate to say "I told you so"? Not me.

443
00:33:11,985 --> 00:33:14,374
I told you so. Angel's back.

444
00:33:14,465 --> 00:33:17,856
In the really bad sense. And I told you so.

445
00:33:18,825 --> 00:33:23,979
Angelus has turned? Xander,
this is terribly serious. Are you sure?

446
00:33:24,065 --> 00:33:28,696
Gee, let me think. Kinda hard to tell.
Last thing I remember is his fist.

447
00:33:28,785 --> 00:33:31,664
- We must contact Giles immediately.
- Good thinking.

448
00:33:31,745 --> 00:33:35,943
Let's waste time with a lively debate,
leave Buffy alone and see how dead she gets.

449
00:33:36,025 --> 00:33:41,941
- Slow down. This isn't Wesley's fault.
- Actually, it is. Faith was your responsibility.

450
00:33:42,745 --> 00:33:46,659
- Guess who's Angel's new playmate?
- Faith and Angel? Together?

451
00:33:46,985 --> 00:33:49,295
Imagine the possibilities.

452
00:33:56,705 --> 00:34:00,619
Mornin', sleepyhead. You know
what I just can't believe?

453
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:04,175
All of our time together
and we never tried chains.

454
00:34:05,105 --> 00:34:07,460
Well, you can't dwell in the past.

455
00:34:07,545 --> 00:34:10,344
Especially with the future we have ahead.

456
00:34:12,945 --> 00:34:16,575
Bondage looks good on you, B.
The outfit's all wrong, but hey.

457
00:34:16,665 --> 00:34:19,464
- You don't know what you're doing.
- Really? Weird.

458
00:34:19,545 --> 00:34:22,219
Cos something about all this
just feels so right.

459
00:34:22,305 --> 00:34:25,104
Maybe it's one of those
"unhappy childhood" things.

460
00:34:25,185 --> 00:34:28,098
See, when I was a kid
I used to beg my mom for a dog.

461
00:34:28,185 --> 00:34:33,419
Didn't matter what kind. I just wanted,
you know, something to love.

462
00:34:40,865 --> 00:34:44,938
A dog's all I wanted. Well, that and toys.

463
00:34:48,425 --> 00:34:52,180
But Mom was so busy enjoying
the drinking and passing out parts of life

464
00:34:52,265 --> 00:34:55,815
that I never really got
what I wanted. Until now.

465
00:34:55,905 --> 00:34:58,624
Faith, listen to me very closely.

466
00:34:58,705 --> 00:35:02,585
Angel's a killer. When he's
done with me, he'll turn on you.

467
00:35:02,665 --> 00:35:05,054
She's right. I probably will.

468
00:35:06,785 --> 00:35:08,856
Yeah?

469
00:35:08,945 --> 00:35:12,415
I guess we'll just have to
keep you around a while then.

470
00:35:12,505 --> 00:35:15,543
Before we get started,
I just want you to know,

471
00:35:15,625 --> 00:35:18,663
if you're a screamer, feel free.

472
00:35:18,745 --> 00:35:21,737
Why, Faith? What's in it for you?

473
00:35:21,825 --> 00:35:27,264
What isn't? I come to Sunnydale, I'm a slayer,
I do my job kickin' ass better than anyone.

474
00:35:27,345 --> 00:35:29,905
But what do I hear about everywhere I go?

475
00:35:29,985 --> 00:35:33,979
Buffy. So I slay, I behave,
I do the good little girl routine,

476
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:36,056
and who does everybody thank?

477
00:35:36,145 --> 00:35:39,376
- Buffy.
- That's not my fault.

478
00:35:39,785 --> 00:35:43,016
Everyone always asks
"Why can't you be more like Buffy?"

479
00:35:43,105 --> 00:35:45,415
Did anyone ask if you could be more like me?

480
00:35:45,505 --> 00:35:47,735
I know I didn't.

481
00:35:49,625 --> 00:35:53,858
You get the watcher, the mom, the little
Scooby Gang. What do I get? Jack squat.

482
00:35:53,945 --> 00:35:57,222
- This was supposed to be my town!
- Faith, listen to me.

483
00:35:57,305 --> 00:36:00,661
Why? So you can impart
some special Buffy wisdom, that it?

484
00:36:00,745 --> 00:36:03,055
Do you think you're better than me? Say it.

485
00:36:03,145 --> 00:36:06,024
- You think you're better than me.
- I am.

486
00:36:09,625 --> 00:36:13,903
- Always have been.
- Maybe you didn't notice.

487
00:36:14,585 --> 00:36:16,815
Angel's with me.

488
00:36:18,225 --> 00:36:20,341
And how'd you get him, Faith?

489
00:36:20,425 --> 00:36:23,383
Magic. You cast some sort of spell?

490
00:36:24,065 --> 00:36:29,014
Because in the real world, Angel
would never touch you, and we both know it.

491
00:36:34,265 --> 00:36:39,135
You had to tie me up to beat me.
There's a word for people like you, Faith.

492
00:36:39,225 --> 00:36:41,216
"Loser."

493
00:36:43,545 --> 00:36:46,378
You're just trying
to make me mad so I'll kill you.

494
00:36:46,465 --> 00:36:48,502
But I'm too smart for that.

495
00:36:48,585 --> 00:36:50,895
Stick around.

496
00:36:51,465 --> 00:36:54,617
For what? Your boss's lame Ascension?

497
00:36:54,705 --> 00:36:57,458
Like I couldn't stop it?

498
00:36:57,545 --> 00:37:00,059
- You can't.
- I will.

499
00:37:00,145 --> 00:37:04,059
Keep dreaming. No one can stop
the Ascension. Mayor's got it wired, B.

500
00:37:04,145 --> 00:37:08,616
He built this town for demons to feed on,
and come Graduation Day, he's gettin' paid.

501
00:37:08,705 --> 00:37:10,821
And I'll be sitting at his right hand.

502
00:37:10,905 --> 00:37:15,058
Assuming he has hands after the
transformation. I'm not too clear on that part.

503
00:37:15,145 --> 00:37:19,025
And all your little lame-ass friends
are gonna be Kibbles 'n Bits.

504
00:37:19,105 --> 00:37:22,735
Think about that when
your boyfriend's cuttin' into you.

505
00:37:22,825 --> 00:37:25,465
I never knew you had so much rage in you.

506
00:37:25,545 --> 00:37:28,537
What can I say? I'm the world's best actor.

507
00:37:30,025 --> 00:37:32,414
Second best.

508
00:37:40,145 --> 00:37:43,342
Graduation Day.
You think we missed anything?

509
00:37:43,785 --> 00:37:46,584
I think we know everything she knows.

510
00:37:47,425 --> 00:37:50,019
May I say something?

511
00:37:51,865 --> 00:37:55,540
- Psych.
- You played me. You played me!

512
00:38:11,665 --> 00:38:15,704
What are you gonna do, B?
Kill me, you become me.

513
00:38:16,905 --> 00:38:19,215
You're not ready for that...

514
00:38:19,905 --> 00:38:21,339
Vet!

515
00:38:25,745 --> 00:38:27,941
Are you OK?

516
00:38:36,905 --> 00:38:39,818
- The task is finished.
- Yes. Thank you for coming to me.

517
00:38:39,905 --> 00:38:43,455
And for that rather effective
light show you put on.

518
00:38:43,545 --> 00:38:46,583
This restores the balance
between us, Rupert Giles.

519
00:38:46,665 --> 00:38:49,862
My debt to you is now repaid in full.

520
00:38:49,945 --> 00:38:52,983
- Do not call upon me again.
- I shan't.

521
00:38:53,065 --> 00:38:55,136
Peace with you.

522
00:38:55,225 --> 00:38:57,421
And with you.

523
00:39:05,025 --> 00:39:07,778
His debt to you is repaid? What did you do?

524
00:39:08,505 --> 00:39:10,894
I introduced him to his wife.

525
00:39:11,625 --> 00:39:16,415
Well, I for one protest. You've pitted slayer
against slayer in a dangerous charade

526
00:39:16,505 --> 00:39:20,976
that could have gotten them both killed.
Without informing me.

527
00:39:22,345 --> 00:39:27,340
- I'm telling the Council.
- I think you should. We have a rogue slayer.

528
00:39:27,425 --> 00:39:32,261
- I can't think of anything more dangerous.
- At least now we know.

529
00:39:32,345 --> 00:39:35,497
And we know a little bit more
about the Ascension.

530
00:39:35,585 --> 00:39:37,576
Graduation Day.

531
00:39:37,665 --> 00:39:40,339
There's a big, scary un-fun.

532
00:39:41,505 --> 00:39:45,100
At least Angel's not bad, though.
That's good, right?

533
00:39:45,185 --> 00:39:49,463
Yes, I feel so much better knowing
that he broke my face in the "good" way.

534
00:39:49,545 --> 00:39:53,140
- It's a "good" bruise.
- He was only acting, Xander.

535
00:39:55,265 --> 00:39:57,620
It was just an act.

536
00:39:57,705 --> 00:40:02,063
Well, you win some, you lose some.
It's batting average that counts.

537
00:40:02,145 --> 00:40:04,534
So you lost some friends.

538
00:40:05,425 --> 00:40:09,578
- I wouldn't exactly call them friends.
- Then what are you worried about? Chin up.

539
00:40:09,665 --> 00:40:12,134
You don't see me
looking disappointed. Know why?

540
00:40:12,225 --> 00:40:17,061
Because I know you'll always have me, Faith,
the most important friend you'll ever have.

541
00:40:17,145 --> 00:40:22,015
Besides, once the Ascension starts,
that "in crowd" you're so concerned about?

542
00:40:22,105 --> 00:40:26,702
They'll be lucky if there's enough
of them left to fill a pothole. Promise.

543
00:40:29,065 --> 00:40:31,056
Still unhappy?

544
00:40:33,825 --> 00:40:35,816
Okey-doke.

545
00:40:35,905 --> 00:40:40,581
I've got two words that are
gonna make all the pain go away.

546
00:40:42,545 --> 00:40:44,536
"Miniature." "Golf."

547
00:41:04,905 --> 00:41:07,499
- How you doin'?
- Been better.

548
00:41:08,625 --> 00:41:10,696
Not hard to believe.

549
00:41:10,785 --> 00:41:13,379
You were a real soldier last night, Buffy.

550
00:41:13,465 --> 00:41:16,105
That's me. One of the troops.

551
00:41:17,145 --> 00:41:20,854
- I know how hard it was for you.
- I really doubt that.

552
00:41:21,505 --> 00:41:25,021
If there's anything I can do to make it better...

553
00:41:26,345 --> 00:41:32,216
Look... I know you only did what I asked.
And we got what we wanted.

554
00:41:33,705 --> 00:41:36,379
I never wanted it to go that far.

555
00:41:36,825 --> 00:41:40,216
I know that. It's not even a question of that.

556
00:41:42,345 --> 00:41:44,939
It's just... after...

557
00:41:47,825 --> 00:41:50,055
I need a little bit of a break.

558
00:41:54,505 --> 00:41:56,496
Please?

559
00:42:04,225 --> 00:42:06,614
Are you still my girl?

560
00:42:10,185 --> 00:42:12,381
Always.

561
00:42:19,025 --> 00:42:22,814
