See if it falls in our domain. 192 00:16:54,025 --> 00:16:58,064 You alert Professor Walsh. Tell her we have a casualty of an indeterminate nature. 193 00:16:58,145 --> 00:17:01,900 Let's not make a move until we get the whole story. 194 00:17:01,985 --> 00:17:04,898 It just made me feel like I was right back in high school. 195 00:17:04,985 --> 00:17:08,296 Dumb jock. If it wasn't for you, he still would be. 196 00:17:08,385 --> 00:17:12,299 I mean, I know the Percy thing isn't really important. 197 00:17:12,385 --> 00:17:15,582 - It's the dead guy on the bed. - Yeah, that's bad, too. 198 00:17:15,945 --> 00:17:20,860 Ooh, and something else. He - the dead guy - was propped up... 199 00:17:20,945 --> 00:17:24,063 ...like whatever killed him wanted to drain the blood out of him. 200 00:17:24,145 --> 00:17:29,265 So I'm thinking the "whatever" took a bunch of the guy's blood with him. 201 00:17:29,345 --> 00:17:32,303 And I haven't been a nerd for a very long time. 202 00:17:32,385 --> 00:17:34,376 Hello!

My contrition completely dwarfs the impending apocalypse. 213 00:18:12,105 --> 00:18:16,099 No, it can't be. We've done this already. 214 00:18:16,185 --> 00:18:19,940 It's the end of the world. Everyone dies. It's rather important, really. 215 00:18:20,025 --> 00:18:22,778 So what do we do? 216 00:18:22,865 --> 00:18:25,254 I stop it. 217 00:18:31,745 --> 00:18:34,055 I wonder where I've seen this before. 218 00:18:34,145 --> 00:18:37,263 Where else?

It's not big with the details, though. 288 00:24:11,465 --> 00:24:16,175 It doesn't say how the world ends or what the ritual entails exactly. 289 00:24:16,265 --> 00:24:20,338 The sacrifice of three. Three people are gonna die? 290 00:24:20,425 --> 00:24:24,896 No, they won't. Because Claw Boy is not getting all of his ingredients. 291 00:24:24,985 --> 00:24:28,262 We have to find the Word of Valios, keep him from getting it. 292 00:24:28,345 --> 00:24:32,623 If he doesn't already have it. I mean, who knows where he's been? 293 00:24:32,705 --> 00:24:36,585 Here's one for the good guys. This thing's got a pheromone signature a mile wide. 294 00:24:36,665 --> 00:24:39,976 Agent Gates has been working with the detection system. 295 00:24:40,065 --> 00:24:43,183 Can't tell where it's going, but I know where it's been. 296 00:24:43,265 --> 00:24:47,020 Residual traces showing up in populated areas. The thing's not shy. 297 00:24:47,105 --> 00:24:50,382 We're going out in civvies. Weapons stowed in packs. 298 00:24:50,465 --> 00:24:55,380 Keep 'em out of sight till nightfall. Remember, this isn't a capture, it's a kill. 299 00:24:55,465 --> 00:24:58,139 Pick up assignments from me. We'll blanket the town. 300 00:24:58,225 --> 00:25:01,422 I'll check the magic shop for a book called the Word of Valios. 301 00:25:01,505 --> 00:25:05,214 - How about the museum? - We'll stop by my house, get weapons... 302 00:25:05,305 --> 00:25:09,219 ...and I'll change into something that isn't quite as anchovy-scented. 303 00:25:09,305 --> 00:25:13,822 This thing takes wicked very seriously.

You know I'd drain you drier than the Sahara if I had half the chance. 314 00:25:53,105 --> 00:25:56,860 Besides, I'm beyond pathetic. Stuck in this basement washing skivvies... 315 00:25:56,945 --> 00:26:00,301 ...for a blighter I wouldn't have bothered to bite a few months ago. 316 00:26:00,385 --> 00:26:03,377 I mean, am I even remotely scary any more? 317 00:26:04,345 --> 00:26:06,655 Tell me the truth. 318 00:26:09,625 --> 00:26:14,415 Well, the shirt is kinda... not very threatening, and the short pants... 319 00:26:14,505 --> 00:26:18,897 But it could also be cos I know you can't bite, which isn't what you really need to hear... 320 00:26:18,985 --> 00:26:22,535 - Stop. Look, just clear out, OK? - Fine. But you break anything else... 321 00:26:22,625 --> 00:26:26,983 - ..and you'll be sleeping in the garage. - We can't leave him here like this. 322 00:26:27,065 --> 00:26:30,854 - We'll have to take him to the museum. - You go on. 323 00:26:30,945 --> 00:26:33,937 I won't do anything.

You're not just saying that? 326 00:26:49,985 --> 00:26:51,976 (beeping) 327 00:27:00,905 --> 00:27:02,578 Buffy. 328 00:27:02,665 --> 00:27:06,260 - Is this really the time for Donkey Kong? - What? 329 00:27:08,105 --> 00:27:09,698 Oh. 330 00:27:10,785 --> 00:27:14,335 It takes trace readings of the creature's pheromones. 331 00:27:14,425 --> 00:27:15,495 And? 332 00:27:15,585 --> 00:27:20,580 And it's either mating season for this thing or... it's movin' all over town. 333 00:27:21,465 --> 00:27:23,820 - You know, Buffy... - Actually, I need to go. 334 00:27:23,905 --> 00:27:27,614 - Big Bad needs to be squished. - Right.

Which is why we can't do it, the you-and-me thing. 337 00:27:37,345 --> 00:27:39,700 No, I mean you're stupid. 338 00:27:40,345 --> 00:27:43,019 I mean, I don't mean that. 339 00:27:43,105 --> 00:27:47,019 - No, I think maybe I do. - Wow. With sweet talk like that... 340 00:27:47,105 --> 00:27:50,097 - ..you'll definitely melt my reservations. - I'm serious. 341 00:27:50,185 --> 00:27:54,577 You have this twisted way of looking at things. This doom-and-gloom mentality. 342 00:27:54,665 --> 00:27:58,898 You keep thinking like that and things will probably turn out just the way you expect. 343 00:27:58,985 --> 00:28:03,058 You know, there's nothing more dangerous than a psych grad student. 344 00:28:03,145 --> 00:28:06,183 Buffy, where is the bad here? 345 00:28:06,265 --> 00:28:09,781 It turns out that we're even more well-matched than we thought we were. 346 00:28:09,865 --> 00:28:13,540 I mean, you're a... fry cook and so am I. 347 00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,662 Yes, but you're an amateur... 348 00:28:15,745 --> 00:28:20,103 ...fry cook, and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25. 349 00:28:20,185 --> 00:28:24,895 Which is exactly the attitude I'm talking about. Look, I know the risks of what we do. 350 00:28:24,985 --> 00:28:28,535 I also know it's more rewarding than any other job on the planet. And fun! 351 00:28:28,625 --> 00:28:33,062 Fun? The last person I know that believed that is in a coma right now... 352 00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:35,580 ...because she had so much fun on the job. 353 00:28:35,665 --> 00:28:38,498 I'm not saying you shouldn't take your work seriously. 354 00:28:38,585 --> 00:28:41,896 That I should just turn my frown upside down? Is that it? 355 00:28:41,985 --> 00:28:46,582 I wish I could. But this isn't the kind of gig where you can just hang it up at night... 356 00:28:46,665 --> 00:28:49,179 - ..and snuggle with your honey. - Why can't it be? 357 00:28:49,265 --> 00:28:53,816 Because I tried it, OK? And every time it just fell apart. 358 00:28:53,905 --> 00:28:56,294 Then I get sucked right back into the Uber-evil. 359 00:28:56,385 --> 00:29:02,176 Welcome to the story of the world. Things fall apart, Buffy. And evil, it comes and goes. 360 00:29:02,265 --> 00:29:07,101 But the way people manage is, they don't do it alone. They pull each other through. 361 00:29:07,185 --> 00:29:10,177 If you weren't so self-involved you'd see that. 362 00:29:11,425 --> 00:29:16,022 You have no idea what you're talking about. You barely know me. 363 00:29:17,585 --> 00:29:19,622 I know that it's not just the job thing. 364 00:29:19,705 --> 00:29:23,335 I'm sure there's some good-looking guy who done you wrong in there, too. 365 00:29:23,425 --> 00:29:26,622 But mostly I think you wanna stay down in the dark place... 366 00:29:26,705 --> 00:29:29,697 - ..cos maybe it's safer down there. - You are so out of line. 367 00:29:29,785 --> 00:29:32,174 No. See, I don't think so. 368 00:29:32,865 --> 00:29:38,577 We have an opportunity, you and me, but the fact that you're too scared to even try... 369 00:29:38,865 --> 00:29:41,061 ls my business. 370 00:29:41,145 --> 00:29:43,739 So why don't you just leave me alone? 371 00:29:47,025 --> 00:29:49,301 Fair enough. 372 00:29:59,945 --> 00:30:03,654 - Great. No Word of Valios. - Not even a syllable of Valios. 373 00:30:03,745 --> 00:30:06,976 So I'm one step closer to melting in a sea of molten hellfire? 374 00:30:07,065 --> 00:30:10,421 You shouldn't talk like that. OK, so you can't kill any more... 375 00:30:10,505 --> 00:30:14,135 ...but there's other fun things you can do. You'll adjust. 376 00:30:14,225 --> 00:30:19,140 Adjust? And what? End up like the two of you? No, thank you. 377 00:30:19,225 --> 00:30:23,264 Here it goes. "We can't just leave him here to stake himself. It's not right." 378 00:30:23,345 --> 00:30:26,497 I should think you would be glad to greet the end of days. 379 00:30:26,585 --> 00:30:29,816 I mean, neither one of you is making much of a go at it. 380 00:30:29,905 --> 00:30:33,216 You... Kids your age are going off to university. 381 00:30:33,305 --> 00:30:36,502 You've made it as far as the basement. And Red here... 382 00:30:36,585 --> 00:30:41,295 ...you couldn't even keep Dog Boy happy. You can take the loser out of high school, but... 383 00:30:41,385 --> 00:30:44,025 You're trying to get us to dust you. 384 00:30:44,105 --> 00:30:48,895 Am not! I just don't want pity from geeks more useless than I am. 385 00:30:48,985 --> 00:30:54,139 We're not useless. We... we help people. We fight the forces of evil. 386 00:30:54,225 --> 00:30:56,694 Buffy fights the forces of evil. 387 00:30:56,785 --> 00:31:01,859 You're her groupies. She'd do just as well without you, better I'd wager... 388 00:31:01,945 --> 00:31:04,903 ...since she wouldn't have to save your hides all the time. 389 00:31:04,985 --> 00:31:08,341 That is so not true. We're part of the team. She needs us. 390 00:31:08,425 --> 00:31:12,737 Or you're just the same tenth-grade losers you've always been... 391 00:31:12,825 --> 00:31:16,216 ...and she's too much of a softy to cut you loose. 392 00:31:30,905 --> 00:31:34,614 Oh - as usual - dear. 393 00:32:14,705 --> 00:32:18,494 - What happened? - It's my fault. I should have known. 394 00:32:19,585 --> 00:32:20,620 Giles... 395 00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:25,461 The Word of Valios is the name of a talisman, not a book. 396 00:32:25,545 --> 00:32:28,936 - I blame myself entirely. I had it here. - (Xander) You had it here? 397 00:32:29,025 --> 00:32:31,778 I thought you were being too hard on yourself, but... 398 00:32:31,865 --> 00:32:35,620 Thank you. I bought it at a sorcerer's estate sale. 399 00:32:36,105 --> 00:32:38,824 I only glanced at it once. I thought it was a knockoff. 400 00:32:38,905 --> 00:32:42,057 They have it. They probably have their sacrifices by now, too. 401 00:32:42,145 --> 00:32:44,580 They're on their way to perform the sacrifice now. 402 00:32:44,665 --> 00:32:47,783 On their way where? You found out what the ritual is for? 403 00:32:47,865 --> 00:32:50,857 The Hellmouth. They're going to open the Hellmouth. 404 00:32:52,825 --> 00:32:55,544 The one in the library. 405 00:33:01,385 --> 00:33:04,184 Looks like we're going back to high school. 406 00:33:17,185 --> 00:33:21,144 OK, be careful, you guys. The place doesn't look too stable. 407 00:33:22,145 --> 00:33:24,785 Fine by me. Hope we all go under. 408 00:33:24,865 --> 00:33:27,857 Why is he even here? It's not like he can fight. 409 00:33:27,945 --> 00:33:30,744 If we leave him alone, he'll stake himself. 410 00:33:30,825 --> 00:33:33,419 And that's bad because...? 411 00:33:33,505 --> 00:33:36,543 Fine. Whatever. Just keep him out of the way. 412 00:33:36,625 --> 00:33:38,616 I do not have time for this. 413 00:33:39,785 --> 00:33:44,177 When we get to the library, look out for victims they're keeping alive for the sacrifice. 414 00:33:44,265 --> 00:33:47,656 - Getting them out is the first priority. - Will do. 415 00:33:48,585 --> 00:33:50,781 OK. You guys ready? 416 00:33:51,785 --> 00:33:53,776 Let's rock and roll. 417 00:33:54,505 --> 00:33:56,416 "Let's rock and roll." 418 00:34:02,025 --> 00:34:03,936 (Xander) Sunnydale High. 419 00:34:04,025 --> 00:34:08,337 If these walls were still walls, what stories they could tell. 420 00:34:09,145 --> 00:34:10,294 Eeuw! 421 00:34:13,225 --> 00:34:15,614 Mayor meat.
