FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP.

BACK AWAY FROM THE GIRL SLOWLY.

LOOK, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. DO IT NOW!

THIS ONE'S DEAD.

WHAT ABOUT UP THERE?

XANDER.

GET HER OUT OF HERE!

WAIT! JUST SEE IF HE'S OK! PLEASE!

PLEASE. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'D DO WELL TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, MISSY.

BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

WHY DO I FIND THAT SO VERY HARD TO BELIEVE?

IN THERE.

YOU KNOW THIS GIRL.

BUFFY SUMMERS.

IF THERE'S TROUBLE, SHE'S BEHIND IT.

YOU STUPID LITTLE TROLL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

ATTITUDE PROBLEM. SERIOUS.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF MY FRIENDS ARE OK.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND--UNH!

UNH!

STOP!

GET DOWN!

ALL UNITS, WE HAVE A FUGITIVE ON FOOT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

HOMICIDE SUSPECT. FEMALE, BLOND,

APPROXIMATELY 16 YEARS OLD.

SUSPECT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

[HOWLING]

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

OH, XANDER!

OHHH...

I WAS SO WORRIED. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WERE OK.

THE COPS WERE--

YEAH. I HEARD THEM CHASE YOU OUT. I WAS JUST COMING OUT OF IT.

SOUVENIR.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?

ARE THEY OK?

[SIGHS]

OK. THAT WAS ABOUT EQUAL PARTS PROTECTING ME

AND COPPING A FEEL, RIGHT?

WHAT IS IT?

THE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS HEAD TRAUMA...

SHE COULD WAKE UP AT ANY TIME.

BUT, UM...

THE LONGER IT LASTS, THE...

LESS LIKELY IT IS.

I NEVER SHOULD'VE LET HER TRY TO DO THAT CURSE.

ANGEL MUST'VE KNOWN.

WHERE ARE HER PARENTS?

WITH RELATIVES IN PHOENIX.

I GAVE THEM A CALL.

THEY'RE-- THEY'RE GETTING ON A PLANE BACK.

DOES OZ KNOW?

OH, MAN. UM...

I DIDN'T EVEN THINK. UM...

I'LL CALL HIM.

HEY.

HEY.

[SIGHS]

HOW IS SHE? THE DOCTOR TOLD ME--

YEAH. WE'RE, UH... STILL WAITING.

YOU OK?

I RAN. I THINK I MADE IT THROUGH 3 COUNTIES

BEFORE I REALIZED NOBODY WAS CHASING ME.

NOT TOO BRAVE.

IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

DID GILES KEEP UP WITH YOU?

I DIDN'T SEE GILES.

YOU MEAN HE'S NOT IN THE HOSPITAL?

Xander: NO.

MMHH...

MMHH...

OHHH...

HI, RUPERT.

I WASN'T SURE YOU WERE GONNA WAKE UP.

YOU HAD ME WORRIED.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT TO TORTURE YOU.

I--I USED TO LOVE IT. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

I MEAN, THE LAST TIME I TORTURED SOMEBODY,

THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE CHAIN SAWS.

OH, YEAH. ACATHLA.

HE'S AN EVEN HARDER GUY TO WAKE UP THAN YOU ARE.

I MEAN, I PERFORMED THE RITUALS, SAID ALL THE RIGHT PHRASES...

BLOOD ON MY HAND. GOT NOTHING. BIG DOUGHNUT HOLE FOR MY TROUBLES.

I FIGURE YOU KNOW THE RITUAL. YOU'RE PRETTY UP ON THESE THINGS.

YOU COULD PROBABLY TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG.

BUT HONESTLY, I SORT OF HOPE YOU DON'T...

'CAUSE I REALLY WANT TO TORTURE YOU.

NO. IT-- IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THERE'S BEEN SOME TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOUR DAUGHTER IS.

SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO HER FRIEND WILLOW'S HOUSE.

MAYBE SHE SLEPT OVER.

IS THAT WILLOW ROSENBERG?

YES.

SECOND VICTIM.

WHAT?

YOUR DAUGHTER HAS A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE,

DOESN'T SHE, MS. SUMMERS?

WELL...

YOU CALL US.

OK?

IF SHE DECIDES TO STOP BY.

BE BEST IF SHE JUST COMES IN.

GILES!

GILES!

I DON'T THINK HE'S HERE.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHISTLER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WAITING FOR YOU.

WHY?

'CAUSE I--I NEED A DATE TO THE PROM.

I'VE HAD A REALLY BAD DAY. OK?

IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION WORTH HEARING, THEN I AM GRATEFUL FOR IT.

IF YOU'RE GONNA CRACK JOKES, THEN I'M GONNA PULL OUT YOUR RIB CAGE

AND WEAR IT AS A HAT.

HELLO TO THE IMAGERY! VERY NICE.

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN LIKE THIS.

NOBODY SAW YOU COMING.

I FIGURED THIS FOR ANGEL'S BIG DAY.

BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS HERE TO STOP ACATHLA,

NOT TO BRING HIM FORTH.

THEN YOU TWO MADE WITH THE SMOOCHIES.

NOW HE'S A CREEP AGAIN.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO?

WHATEVER I HAVE TO.

MAYBE I SHOULD ASK, WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO GIVE UP?

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING USEFUL TO TELL ME, DO YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU, JUST SOME IMMORTAL DEMON

SENT DOWN TO EVEN THE SCORE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL?

WOW.

GOOD GUESS.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU TRY GETTING OFF YOUR IMMORTAL ASS

AND FIGHTING EVIL ONCE IN A WHILE? 'CAUSE I'M SICK AND TIRED OF DOING IT MYSELF.

IN THE END, YOU'RE ALWAYS BY YOURSELF.

YOU'RE ALL YOU'VE GOT. THAT'S THE POINT.

SPARE ME.

THE SWORD ISN'T ENOUGH.

YOU GOTTA BE READY. YOU GOTTA KNOW HOW TO USE IT!

HOLD RIGHT THERE! PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!

DO IT!

UNH!

UNH! UNH!

AAH!

HELLO, CUTIE.

UNH! UNH! UNH--

UNH! OOF!

NOW, YOU HOLD ON A SECOND!

HEY! WHITE FLAG HERE. I QUIT.

LET ME CLEAR THIS UP FOR YOU. WE'RE MORTAL ENEMIES. WE DON'T GET TIME-OUTS.

YOU WANT TO GO AROUND, PET, I'LL HAVE A GAY OLD TIME OF IT.

YOU WANT TO STOP ANGEL... WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PLAY THIS A BIT DIFFERENTLY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOUR EX, PET. I'M TALKING ABOUT PUTTING HIM IN THE BLOODY GROUND.

[CHUCKLES]

THIS HAS GOTTA BE THE LAMEST TRICK

YOU GUYS HAVE EVER THOUGHT OF.

HE'S GOT YOUR WATCHER.

RIGHT NOW, HE'S PROBABLY TORTURING HIM.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I TOLD YOU.

I WANT TO STOP ANGEL.

I WANT TO SAVE THE WORLD.

OK. YOU DO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE A VAMPIRE, RIGHT?

WE LIKE TO TALK BIG... VAMPIRES DO.

"I'M GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD."

IT'S JUST TOUGH GUY TALK...

STRUTTING AROUND WITH YOUR FRIENDS OVER A PINT OF BLOOD.

THE TRUTH IS, I LIKE THIS WORLD.

YOU'VE GOT... DOG RACING,

MANCHESTER UNITED.

AND YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE...

BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WALKING AROUND LIKE HAPPY MEALS WITH LEGS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE.

BUT THEN SOMEONE COMES ALONG WITH A VISION...

WITH A REAL... PASSION FOR DESTRUCTION.

ANGEL COULD PULL IT OFF.

GOOD-BYE, PICCADILLY. FAREWELL, LEICESTER BLOODY SQUARE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

OK, FINE. YOU'RE NOT DOWN WITH ANGEL.

WHY WOULD YOU EVER COME TO ME?

I WANT DRU BACK.

I WANT IT LIKE IT WAS BEFORE HE CAME BACK.

THE WAY SHE ACTS AROUND HIM...

YOU'RE PATHETIC.

OOH! I LOST A FRIEND TONIGHT.

I WASN'T IN ON THAT RAIDING PARTY.

AND I MAY LOSE MORE. THE WHOLE EARTH MAY BE SUCKED INTO HELL,

AND YOU WANT MY HELP 'CAUSE YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S A BIG HO?

WELL, LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO NOT CARE.

I CAN'T FIGHT THEM BOTH ALONE, AND NEITHER CAN YOU.

I HATE YOU.

AND I'M ALL YOU'VE GOT.

[MOANING]

ALL RIGHT. TALK.

I'M JUST GONNA KILL THIS GUY. AHEM!

OH. RIGHT.

LET'S GET INSIDE.

DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE. SHE MIGHT, UH...

I'LL GET IT.

THANKS.

OK.

COME ON, WILL.

LOOK, YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE HERE.

YOU GOTTA WAKE UP.

I NEED YOU, WILL.

I MEAN, HOW AM I GONNA PASS TRIG, YOU KNOW?

AND WHO AM I GONNA CALL EVERY NIGHT...

AND TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING WE DID ALL DAY?

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND.

YOU'VE ALWAYS...

I LOVE YOU.

WILLOW?

OZ?

OZ?

I'M HERE.

SHE'S JUST STARTING TO WAKE UP.

HEY, BABY.

HI.

I'M GONNA GO GET A DOCTOR.

HOW YOU FEELIN'?

MY HEAD...

FEELS BIG.

IS IT BIG?

NO. IT'S HEAD SIZE.

UH...

IS EVERYBODY ELSE OK?

RUPERT, BUDDY...

I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, I'M IMPRESSED.

HEY.

UH...

HOW YOU HOLDIN' UP?

NEVER...

BETTER.

GLAD TO HEAR IT.

NOW...

[BREATHES PAINFULLY]

TELL ME WHEN IT HURTS.

[BREATHING PAINFULLY]

BUFFY?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? ARE YOU OK?

THE POLICE WERE HERE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

MOM, LET'S-- LET'S GO INSIDE, AND I CAN EXPLAIN.

WHO IS THIS MAN? WHO ARE YOU? ARE YOU OK?

MOM. I'M--I'M OK.

BUFFY, TERRIBLE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

WHAT, YOUR MOM DOESN'T KNOW?

KNOW WHAT?

THAT I'M, UH... IN A BAND...

A ROCK BAND WITH SPIKE HERE.

RIGHT. SHE PLAYS THE--THE TRIANGLE.

DRUMS.

DRUMS, YEAH. SHE'S HELL ON THE OLD SKINS, YOU KNOW.

AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

WELL, I SING. YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHY DON'T WE GO INSIDE, AND--AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS.

I'M NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS.

AAH! AAH! OHH! AAH!

UNH!

UNH! OOMHH!

UNH! UNH!

UNH! OHHH!

[GASPS]

AAAHHH!

ONE OF ANGEL'S BOYS.

YEAH, PROBABLY WATCHING ME. OR YOU.

HE WON'T GET A CHANCE TO TATTLE ON US NOW.

Joyce: BUFFY...

WHAT...IS GOING ON?

MOM...

I'M A VAMPIRE SLAYER.

I'M OK, BUFFY, REALLY.

I MEAN, I DON'T FEEL GOOD,

BUT...I'M AWAKE, AND I KNOW MY NAME

AND WHO'S PRESIDENT AND HOW MANY FINGERS,

SO THEY DON'T THINK MY BRAIN GOT MUSHED AT ALL.

THANK GOD.

SO SORRY I CAN'T BE THERE.

I KNOW.

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T GET TO CURE ANGEL.

DON'T BE. IT JUST WASN'T MEANT TO BE.

I KNOW I'M NEVER GONNA GET HIM BACK THE WAY HE WAS.

IT JUST MAKES IT EASIER.

I GUESS.

ANY LUCK FINDING GILES?

YEP. I GOT A LUCKY BREAK.

WHAT?

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME IF I TOLD YOU.

XANDER. ANGEL AND THE OTHERS ARE HOLED UP OUTSIDE TOWN.

YOU REMEMBER THAT FUNKY-LOOKING MANSION YOU SHOWED ME THAT TIME?

ON CRAWFORD STREET. SURE.

THAT MAKES SENSE. WHAT'S THE DRILL?

I'M GONNA HIT IT COME DAYBREAK.

YOU'LL NEED BACKUP.

NO. YOU STAY THERE. I'M COVERED.

DO YOU, UM...

DO YOU THINK GILES IS STILL ALIVE?

I THINK HE IS.

I JUST WISH HE WAS HERE TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

HAVE WE MET?

UM...YOU HIT ME WITH AN AX ONE TIME.

REMEMBER? UH, "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER."

OH.

[CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS]

SO, DO YOU, UH, LIVE HERE IN TOWN?

IS WILLOW ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. SHE'S FINE.

ALL RIGHT, TALK. WHAT'S THE DEAL?

SIMPLE. YOU LET ME AND DRU SKIP TOWN,

I HELP YOU KILL ANGEL.

ANGEL? YOUR BOYFRIEND?

FORGET ABOUT DRUSILLA. SHE DOESN'T WALK.

THERE'S NO DEAL WITHOUT DRU.

SHE KILLED KENDRA.

DRU BAGGED A SLAYER?

[CHUCKLES]

SHE DIDN'T TELL ME.

GOOD FOR HER.

THOUGH NOT FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, I SUPPOSE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I INVITED YOU INTO MY HOUSE.

SO YOU DIDN'T KILL THAT GIRL.

OF COURSE NOT.

DID SHE EXPLODE LIKE THAT MAN OUT THERE?

SHE WAS A SLAYER, MOM.

LIKE WHAT YOU ARE.

LOOK.

THIS DEAL WORKS ONLY ONE WAY. FULL STOP.

ME AND DRU FOR ANGEL.

HONEY, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE A VAMPIRE SLAYER?

I'LL TAKE HER OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

YOU'LL NEVER HEAR FROM US AGAIN, I BLOODY WELL HOPE.

FINE. GET BACK TO THE MANSION.

MAKE SURE GILES IS ALL RIGHT.

I MEAN, HAVE YOU TRIED NOT BEING A SLAYER?

MOM! BE READY TO BACK ME UP WHEN I MAKE MY MOVE.

IF GILES DIES...

SHE DIES.

IT'S BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A STRONG FATHER FIGURE, ISN'T IT?

IT'S JUST FATE, MOM. I'M THE SLAYER. ACCEPT IT.

WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE.

NO. WE'RE NOT CALLING THE POLICE.

WELL, NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE INNOCENT...

WHAT? YOU THOUGHT I WAS GUILTY? JEEZ, FEELIN' THE LOVE IN THIS ROOM.

NO, I DIDN'T THINK THAT. IT'S JUST--

NOW WE HAVE PROOF.

WE HAVE MY WORD, MOM. NOT PROOF.

LOOK, I AM SURE THAT THEY WILL UNDERSTAND.

GET THEM INVOLVED, YOU'LL GET THEM KILLED.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HURT THEM, ARE YOU?

I'M A SLAYER, NOT A POSTAL WORKER.

COPS CAN'T FIGHT DEMONS. I HAVE TO DO IT.

DO WHAT? BUFFY, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

JUST HAVE ANOTHER DRINK.

DON'T YOU TALK TO ME THAT WAY.

[GLASS BREAKS]

YOU DON'T GET TO JUST DUMP SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON ME AND PRETEND IT'S NOTHING.

SORRY, MOM, BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

NO. I AM TIRED OF "I DON'T HAVE TIME" OR "YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND."

I AM YOUR MOTHER, AND YOU WILL MAKE TIME TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

I TOLD YOU.

I'M A VAMPIRE SLAYER.

WELL, I JUST DON'T ACCEPT THAT.

OPEN YOUR EYES, MOM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS?

THE FIGHTS, THE WEIRD OCCURRENCES.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU WASHED BLOOD OUT OF MY CLOTHING,

AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT?

WELL, IT STOPS NOW! NO, IT DOESN'T STOP!

IT NEVER STOPS. DO-- DO YOU THINK I CHOSE TO BE LIKE THIS?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONELY IT IS, HOW DANGEROUS?

I WOULD LOVE TO BE UPSTAIRS WATCHING TV

OR GOSSIPING ABOUT BOYS OR...GOD, EVEN STUDYING!

BUT I HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD...AGAIN.

NO. THIS IS INSANE. BUFFY, YOU NEED HELP.

I'M NOT CRAZY!

WHAT I NEED IS FOR YOU TO CHILL.

I HAVE TO GO.

NO. I AM NOT LETTING YOU OUT OF THIS HOUSE.

YOU CAN'T STOP ME.

OH, YES, I CAN!

[DISHES CLATTERING]

YOU WALK OUT OF THIS HOUSE, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING BACK.

[SIGHS]

SO BUFFY'S GOING FOR THE BIG SHOWDOWN, HUH?

WISH WE COULD HELP. YOU KNOW, WITHOUT DYING.

I DON'T SEE HOW.

I WANT TO TRY AGAIN.

TRY WHAT?

THE CURSE. WE NEVER GOT TO FINISH IT.

MAYBE WE CAN RESTORE ANGEL'S SOUL.

I DON'T LIKE IT. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MESSING WITH POWERFUL MAGIC,

AND YOU'RE WEAK.

I'M OK. YOU DON'T LOOK OK.

DOES SHE?

YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM. THE HAIR,

IT'S SO FLAT, AND THE LIPS...

COULD WE STAY ON TOPIC HERE, HONEY?

WHAT?

LOOK, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.

THERE'S NO USE ARGUING WITH ME.

DO YOU SEE MY RESOLVE FACE?

YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE. YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.

THIS CAN HELP BUFFY. IF WE TURN ANGEL BACK SOON ENOUGH,

WE CAN STOP HIM FROM EVER AWAKENING ACATHLA.

OK, I PRETTY MUCH MISSED OUT ON SOME STUFF, DIDN'T I?

BECAUSE THIS IS ALL MAKING A KIND OF SENSE THAT'S...NOT.

GO WITH CORDY TO THE LIBRARY AND GET MY THINGS.

SHE'LL FILL YOU IN.

SURE.

I'LL DRIVE.

XANDER, GO TO BUFFY. TELL HER WHAT WE'RE DOING.

MAYBE SHE CAN STALL.

BUT I--

RESOLVE FACE.

BE CAREFUL.

YOU KNOW, I CAN STOP THE PAIN.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY BRAVE...

BUT IT'S OVER.

YOU'VE GIVEN ENOUGH.

NOW LET ME MAKE IT STOP.

PLEASE.

JUST TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.

IN ORDER...

TO BE WORTHY...

YEAH?

YOU MUST PERFORM THE RITUAL...

YEAH?

IN A TUTU.

PILLOCK.

ALL RIGHT. SOMEONE GET THE CHAIN SAW.

NOW, NOW, DON'T LET'S LOSE OUR TEMPER.

KEEP OUT OF IT, SIT 'N' SPIN.

LOOK, YOU CUT HIM UP, YOU'LL NEVER GET YOUR ANSWERS.

SINCE WHEN DID YOU BECOME SO LEVEL-HEADED?

RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME YOU BECAME SO PIG-HEADED.

YOU HAVE YOUR WAY WITH HIM, YOU'LL NEVER GET TO DESTROY THE WORLD,

AND I DON'T FANCY SPENDING THE NEXT MONTH

TRYING TO GET LIBRARIAN OUT OF THE CARPET.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.

ENLIGHTEN ME.

DRUSILLA?

SWEETHEART?

DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME?

YOU DO KNOW THIS IS A CRIME SCENE, DON'T YOU?

BUT THEN...

YOU'RE A CRIMINAL,

SO THAT PRETTY MUCH WORKS OUT.

YOU KNOW I DIDN'T DO IT.

THE POLICE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.

IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED,

THE POLICE OF SUNNYDALE ARE DEEPLY STUPID.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY.

WHATEVER THEY FIND,

YOU'VE PROVED TOO MUCH OF A LIABILITY FOR THIS SCHOOL.

THESE ARE THE MOMENTS YOU WANT TO SAVOR.

YOU WISH TIME WOULD STOP

SO THAT YOU COULD LIVE THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

YOU'RE EXPELLED.

YOU NEVER EVER GOT A SINGLE DATE IN HIGH SCHOOL, DID YOU?

YOUR POINT BEING?

IT'S SNYDER.

TELL THE MAYOR I HAVE GOOD NEWS.

Drusilla: IS THAT BETTER?

HMM?

POOR THING.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE.

[GASPS]

OF COURSE.

LOOK AT ME.

MM-HMM.

BE...

IN ME.

HMM.

SEE WITH YOUR HEART.

JENNY.

I THOUGHT I'D LOST YOU.

SHH.

I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU.

WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

SLOWLY.

IT CAN'T BE YOU.

DID YOU TELL ANGEL...

ABOUT THE RITUAL?

NO.

WE HAVE TO GET HIM AWAY FROM ACATHLA.

WHY? IS HE CLOSE TO FIGURING IT OUT?

LATER.

TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL BE TOGETHER...

FINALLY.

WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEVER GOT TO HAVE...

NEVER GOT TO FEEL.

JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

WE HAVE TO GET ANGEL AWAY FROM ACATHLA.

ANGEL HIMSELF?

HE'S THE KEY?

H-HIS--HIS BLOOD...

H-HE MUSTN'T--

SHH.

MMM.

BLOOD.

OF COURSE.

THE BLOOD ON MY HANDS MUST BE MY OWN.

I AM THE KEY THAT WILL OPEN UP THE DOOR.

MY BLOOD.

MY LIFE.

OK. KILL HIM.

BUT WHAT IF HE'S LYING?

YEAH.

GOOD POINT.

ALL RIGHT, DON'T KILL HIM.

YOU KNOW, I KIND OF LIKE HAVING YOU WATCH MY BACK.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE OLD TIMES.

[CHUCKLES]

UH, DRUSILLA...

HONEY...

WE ARE FINISHED HERE, DUCKS.

SORRY.

I WAS IN THE MOMENT.

Buffy: WHISTLER...

WHAT DID YOU MEAN, THE SWORD ISN'T ENOUGH?

YOU KNOW, RAIDING AN ENGLISHMAN'S FRIDGE IS LIKE DATING A NUN.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET THE GOOD STUFF.

TELL ME HOW TO USE IT.

ANGEL'S THE KEY.

HIS BLOOD WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO HELL.

ACATHLA OPENS HIS BIG MOUTH,

CREATES A VORTEX--

THEN ONLY ANGEL'S BLOOD WILL CLOSE IT.

ONE BLOW WILL SEND 'EM BOTH BACK TO HELL.

BUT I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU GET THERE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS,

'CAUSE THE FASTER YOU KILL ANGEL,

THE EASIER IT'S GONNA BE ON YOU.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

IT'S ALL ON THE LINE HERE, KID.

I CAN DEAL.

I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.

WRONG, KID.

YOU GOT ONE MORE THING.

XANDER!

CAVALRY'S HERE.

CAVALRY'S A FRIGHTENED GUY WITH A ROCK,

BUT IT'S HERE.

THAT'S BETTER.

YOU'RE NOT HERE TO FIGHT.

YOU GET GILES OUT, AND YOU RUN LIKE HELL, UNDERSTOOD?

I CAN'T PROTECT YOU. I'M GONNA BE TOO BUSY KILLING.

THAT'S A NEW LOOK FOR YOU.

IT'S A PRESENT FOR ANGEL.

WILLOW, UH...

SHE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU...

TELL ME WHAT?

KICK HIS ASS.

ACATHLA...

MUNDATUS SUM.

PRO TE NECAVI.

SANGUINEM MEUM...

PRO TE EFFUNDAM,

QUO ME DIGNUM...

ESSE DEMONSTREM.

ARE WE READY?

STINKY HERBS ARE A GO.

DID I MENTION I DIDN'T TAKE LATIN?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO SAY IT-- I HOPE.

RIGHT.

NOW, ACATHLA...

YOU WILL BE FREE.

[DROPS KNIFE]

AND SO WILL WE ALL.

HELLO, LOVER.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME LEFT.

COMING ON KIND OF STRONG, DON'T YOU THINK?

YOU'RE PLAYING SOME DEEP ODDS HERE.

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN TAKE US ALL ON?

NO...I DON'T.

AAH!

PAINFUL, ISN'T IT?

I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU, BABY.

OOH.

DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T.

Oz: QUOD PERDITUM EST,

INVENIETUR.

Willow: NOT DEAD...

NOR NOT OF THE LIVING.

SPIRITS OF THE INTEREGNUM, I CALL.

GILES!

GILES!

XANDER?

CAN YOU WALK?

YOU'RE NOT REAL.

SURE, I'M REAL.

IT'S A TRICK.

THEY GET INSIDE MY HEAD,

MAKE ME SEE THINGS I WANT.

THEN WHY WOULD THEY MAKE YOU SEE ME?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

LET'S GO.

[GROANING]

COME ON.

OOH...

HERE HE COMES.

GODS, BIND HIM.

CAST HIS HEART FROM THE...

EVIL...

REALM.

YOU ALMOST MADE IT, BUFF.

IT'S NOT OVER YET.

MY BOY ACATHLA HERE IS ABOUT TO WAKE UP.

YOU'RE GOING TO HELL.

SAVE ME A SEAT.

RETURN.

I CALL ON...

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

WILLOW? ARE YOU OK?

TE IMPLOR, DOAMNE,

NU IGNORA ACCASTA RUGAMINTE.

IS THIS A GOOD THING?

NICE MORTE...

NICE AL FIENDE--

HEY, SPEAK ENGLISH!

CARE-I VA TRANSPORTA,

SUFLETUL LA EL.

OOH OO--

SORRY, BABY. WISH THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY.

GOD, HE'S GOING TO KILL HER.

NOW THAT'S EVERYTHING, HUH?

NO WEAPONS...

NO FRIENDS...

NO HOPE.

TAKE ALL THAT AWAY...

AND WHAT'S LEFT?

ME.

ASA SA FIE!

ASA SA FIE!

ACUM!

ACUM!

[GASPING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

BUFFY?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHERE ARE WE?

I--I DON'T REMEMBER.

ANGEL?

YOU'RE HURT.

OH, BUFFY...

GOD.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN MONTHS.

EVERYTHING'S SO MUDDLED. I...

OH.

OH, BUFFY.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

SHH.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

Willow: I THINK THE SPELL WORKED.

I FELT SOMETHING GO THROUGH ME.

PLUS THE ORB DID THAT COOL GLOW THING.

WELL, MAYBE IT WASN'T IN TIME.

MAYBE SHE HAD TO KILL HIM BEFORE THE CURE COULD WORK.

THEN SHE'D WANT TO BE ALONE, I GUESS.

OR MAYBE ANGEL WAS SAVED,

AND THEY WANT TO BE ALONE TOGETHER.

PERHAPS.

WELL, SHE'S GOT TO SHOW UP SOONER OR LATER.

WE STILL HAVE SCHOOL.
