THE PROJECT HAS ESCAPED.

[ Man ] PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

THE INITIATIVE CREATED THIS THING AND THEY CAN'T STOP IT, BUT WE WILL.

IT'S FAITH. SHE'S AWAKE.

- WE ALL RIGHT? - FIVE BY FIVE.

[ Man ] OPEN THE BOX. SURPRISE!

- YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY? - FIVE BY FIVE.

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

IT'S GOOD YOU CALLED.

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GIRL

SINCE SHE BROKE OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HER?

WELL, GET HER CHECKED OUT.

SHE'S IN STABLE CONDITION,

SHE GOES TO JAIL, PENDING TRIAL.

I JUST HOPE SHE GETS SOME KIND OF HELP.

FIRST THING IS TO KEEP HER FROM HURTING ANYBODY ELSE.

WELL, YOU GUYS WILL BE SAFE NOW.

WE MAY HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IN THE MORNING.

OH, UH, OF COURSE.

THANK YOU BOTH.

I'M GLAD WE FINALLY GOT THE KID.

SHE'S NOT A KID.

I JUST MEAN THAT SHE'S VERY STRONG.

YEAH. THIS FAITH CHICK--

DEFINITELY DANGEROUS.

SHE TRULY IS.

FAITH...

WHY DO YOU THINK SHE'S LIKE THAT?

YOU KNOW, SHE'S A NUT JOB.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT COULD DRIVE A PERSON

TO THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR.

WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE GOT DROVE?

I MEAN, MAYBE SHE LIKES BEING THAT WAY.

I'LL NEVER BELIEVE THAT.

I THINK SHE'S HORRIBLY UNHAPPY.

WELL, COULD BE THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.

I MEAN, A LITTLE STINT IN THE POKEY,

SHOW HER THE ERROR OF HER WAYS.

I'M SURE THERE'S SOME BIG OLD BERTHA

JUST WAITING TO SHOWER HER RIPE LITTLE SELF

WITH AFFECTION.

BUFFY!

I'M SORRY, MOM.

IT'S JUST...

WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW SHE MIGHT HAVE HURT YOU,

I JUST--

I CAN'T STAND IT.

SORRY.

NO, I'M JUST... SORE FROM THE FIGHT.

I'VE MISSED YOU.

'CAUSE I HAVEN'T VISITED, RIGHT? I KNEW IT.

I KNOW HOW IT IS.

YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH IN YOUR LIFE NOW.

I'M A BUSY LITTLE BEAVER.

COLLEGE AND ALL.

OF COURSE.

BUT MAYBE WE COULD SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER SOON?

SOME NIGHT WHEN I'M NOT BEING HELD HOSTAGE

BY A RAVING PSYCHOTIC.

COUNT ON IT.

I'M GONNA TAKE A BATH.

[ Sigh ]

WHY, YES, I WOULD BE BUFFY.

MAY I HELP YOU?

BUFFY.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

IT'S WRONG.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S NAUGHTY.

BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

[ Softly ] BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT. IT'S WRONG.

I'LL KICK YOUR ASS.

I'M GONNA KILL YOU.

[ Laughing ]

LET GO! LET ME GO!

GET ME A SEDATIVE NOW!

HOLD HER! I HAVE TO GO HOME!

SHE'S WITH MY MOTHER.

NO!

JUST LIE STILL.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

KEEP HOLDING HER.

SHE'S TAKEN MY-- MY BODY.

I WONDER WHERE SHE IS.

WHO? FAITH?

YEAH.

I WISH SHE WOULD MAKE A MOVE.

SHE'S MAKING MY STOMACH ALL ACIDY.

BUT YOU THINK BUFFY CAN HANDLE HER.

I THINK SO.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN FAITH WON'T HURT SOMEONE ELSE.

WELL, YOU SHOULD BE SAFE.

NOBODY KNOWS YOU'RE HERE.

I MEAN, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW I EXIST, RIGHT?

I KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM, BUT...

HEY.

I MEAN, THAT'S TOTALLY COOL.

I-- I MEAN, IT'S GOOD. IT'S-- IT'S BETTER.

TARA, IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T WANT MY FRIENDS TO KNOW YOU.

IT'S JUST--

WELL, BUFFY'S LIKE MY BEST FRIEND,

AND SHE'S REALLY SPECIAL.

AND THERE'S THIS WHOLE BUNCH OF US,

AND WE SORT OF HAVE THIS GROUP THING

THAT REVOLVES AROUND THE SLAYING,

AND-- AND I REALLY WANT YOU TO MEET THEM.

BUT I-- I JUST KIND OF LIKE HAVING SOMETHING

THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, MINE.

AND I USUALLY DON'T USE SO MANY WORDS

TO SAY STUFF THAT LITTLE,

BUT DO YOU GET IT AT ALL?

I DO.

I SHOULD CHECK IN WITH GILES,

GET A SITUATION UPDATE.

I AM, YOU KNOW.

WHAT?

YOURS.

NOT TOO BAD.

SCORE.

6-4-4-7.

UH, EXPIRATION, 5-0-1.

UH-HUH. YEAH.

10 A.M.'S YOUR EARLIEST FLIGHT? I'LL TAKE IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

OH, JUST GETTING MY MAIL.

OH.

UM, THAT WAS, UM, GILES ON THE OTHER LINE.

HE WANTED YOU TO MEET YOUR FRIENDS THERE. SAID HE HAD NEWS.

YEAH. I GOT SOME TIME TO KILL.

I'LL GO SEE THE GANG.

ALL MY FRIENDS.

YOU DON'T MIND IF I STEAL THIS, RIGHT?

IS THAT THE HARLOT?

YEAH.

THAT'S THE SAME ONE FAITH PICKED.

BURN IT.

[ Moans ]

SHE'S COMING TO.

MAN, I WANT THIS KID'S CONSTITUTION.

FAITH.

LET'S MOVE IT.

I WANT TO GET HER IN BEFORE SHE'S 100%.

BY ORDER OF THE WATCHERS COUNCIL,

YOU ARE BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY UNTIL SUCH TIME--

SKIP THE SPEECH.

LET'S GO.

BUFFY. GOOD.

THE SCOOBY GANG'S ALL HERE.

WILLOW, XANDER, AND... EVERYBODY.

WHAT'S UP?

IT'S ABOUT FAITH, NOT SURPRISINGLY.

DIDN'T JOYCE TELL YOU?

I ALREADY KICKED THAT ASS.

I FEEL A HIGH-5 COMING ON.

WHERE IS SHE?

ON HER WAY TO THE BIG HOUSE.

COPS TOOK HER OFF MY HANDS ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

POETIC JUSTICE.

HOW'S THAT?

WELL, SHE DID ALL THOSE CRIMES,

AND NOW SHE'S BEING ARRESTED.

I GUESS THAT'S JUST REGULAR JUSTICE.

IT'S COOL, ANYWAY.

UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN,

FAITH IS NO LONGER IN POLICE CUSTODY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE WATCHERS COUNCIL.

THEY, UH, SENT A RETRIEVAL TEAM TO CAPTURE FAITH.

WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, 'CAUSE IT WORKED SO WELL WHEN WESLEY TRIED IT.

THIS IS A SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT.

THEY, UH, HANDLE THE COUNCIL'S TRICKIER JOBS--

SMUGGLING, INTERROGATION, UH, WET WORKS.

WHAT'S WET WORKS?

SCUBA-TYPE STUFF.

I THOUGHT IT WAS MURDER.

WELL, YEAH, BUT THERE COULD BE UNDERWATER MURDER,

WITH SNORKELS.

SO THEY'RE TAKING HER TO ENGLAND?

IT'LL BE A LONG, LONG TIME BEFORE SHE RETURNS.

HEH HEH HEH HEH.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST-- I'M HAPPY.

FAITH IS EVIL.

YEAH. I HOPE THEY THROW THE BOOK AT HER.

[ Giles ] I'M NOT SURE THERE IS A BOOK FOR THIS.

THEY COULD THROW OTHER THINGS.

I FORGOT HOW MUCH YOU DON'T LIKE FAITH.

AFTER WHAT SHE'S DONE TO YOU?

OOH, I WISH THOSE COUNCIL GUYS

WOULD LET ME HAVE AN HOUR ALONE IN THE ROOM WITH HER,

IF I WAS LARGER AND HAD GRENADES.

I BET I KNOW WHAT FAITH WOULD SAY TO THAT.

[ Groans ]

[ Anya ] SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT EVERYTHING'S FINE?

[ Giles ] UM, YES.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU CALLED US ALL HERE

BECAUSE THAT INFORMATION COULD NEVER BE CONVEYED BY TELEPHONE.

WHAT'S UP?

[ Giles ] WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO CONVENE,

IN CASE THERE WERE ANY LOOSE ENDS--

I'D NEVER LET HER HURT YOU.

OR THINGS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN.

I KNOW.

BUT IF YOU'RE KEEN TO GO,

THEN, UH, PLEASE, BY ALL MEANS, GO.

WE KIND OF HAVE A ROMANTIC EVENING PLANNED.

WE WERE GONNA LIGHT A BUNCH OF CANDLES

AND HAVE SEX NEAR THEM.

WELL, WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO CUT INTO THAT 7 MINUTES.

HEY.

I BELIEVE THAT'S MY "HEY." HEY.

LIGHTEN UP.

WE'RE OUT OF DANGER.

EVERYTHING'S GOOD.

[ Giles ] WE STILL HAVE ADAM TO TAKE CARE OF.

YEAH.

ADAM.

WHAT'S UP WITH HIM?

I WISH WE KNEW.

WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I'LL PATROL TONIGHT, AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

YOU GUYS HAVE YOUR FUN.

I'LL BE OUT THERE DOING MY JOB.

[ Rock 'N' Roll Playing ]

OOH!

OH, YOU.

AND YOU.

WHAT, ARE YOU KEEPING TABS ON ME?

YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME A HARD TIME NOW?

UM, DO I USUALLY GIVE YOU A HARD TIME?

VERY FUNNY.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME DRINKING,

UNLESS YOU'RE HERE TO PROTECT INNOCENT BEERS.

YOU'RE A VAMPIRE.

WAS. AND AS SOON AS I GET THIS CHIP OUT OF MY HEAD,

I'LL BE A VAMPIRE AGAIN.

BUT UNTIL THEN, I'M JUST AS HELPLESS AS A KITTEN UP A TREE,

SO WHY DON'T YOU SOD OFF?

OKAY.

OH, FINE! THROW IT IN MY FACE!

"SPIKE'S NOT A THREAT ANYMORE.

I'LL TURN MY BACK. HE CAN'T HURT ME."

SPIKE...

SPIKE.

WILLIAM THE BLOODY WITH A CHIP IN HIS HEAD.

I KIND OF LOVE THIS TOWN.

[ Groan ]

YOU KNOW WHY I REALLY HATE YOU, SUMMERS?

'CAUSE I'M A STUCK-UP TIGHT ASS

WITH NO SENSE OF FUN?

WELL, YEAH, THAT COVERS A LOT OF IT.

'CAUSE I COULD DO ANYTHING I WANT,

AND INSTEAD, I CHOOSE TO POUT AND WHINE

AND FEEL THE BURDEN OF SLAYERNESS?

I MEAN, I COULD BE RICH, I COULD BE FAMOUS,

I COULD HAVE ANYTHING.

ANYONE.

EVEN YOU, SPIKE.

I COULD RIDE YOU AT A GALLOP UNTIL YOUR LEGS BUCKLED

AND YOUR EYES ROLLED UP.

I'VE GOT MUSCLES YOU'VE NEVER EVEN DREAMED OF.

I COULD SQUEEZE YOU UNTIL YOU POPPED LIKE WARM CHAMPAGNE,

AND YOU'D BEG ME TO HURT YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND YOU KNOW WHY I DON'T?

BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

HEH HEH HEH.

I GET THIS CHIP OUT,

YOU AND ME ARE GONNA HAVE A CONFRONTATION.

COUNT ON IT.

[ Bottle Breaks ]

IT WAS TOO CROWDED.

WE GOTTA HOLD OUT FOR A FEW HOURS,

PICK UP A STRAGGLER, SOME DRUNK.

CAN'T BE CALLING ATTENTION TO... OURSELVES.

I'VE BEEN THINKING...

ABOUT VAMPIRES.

THIS IS MY PLACE.

YOUR PLACE. YES. THE SEWERS.

YOU HIDE FROM THEM,

CRAWL ABOUT IN THEIR FILTH,

SCAVENGING LIKE RATS.

WHAT DO YOU FEAR?

KILL THIS GUY ALREADY.

YOU FEAR THE CROSS.

THE SUN. FIRE.

AND, OH, YES...

I BELIEVE DECAPITATION IS A PROBLEM AS WELL.

YOU CAN HAVE THE PLACE.

I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE TO STAY HERE ANYMORE.

YOU FEAR DEATH.

BEING IMMORTAL, YOU FEAR IT MORE

THAN THOSE TO WHOM IT COMES NATURALLY.

VAMPIRES ARE A PARADOX.

OKAY, WE'RE A PARADOX. THAT'S COOL.

DEMON IN A HUMAN BODY.

YOU WALK IN BOTH WORLDS AND BELONG TO NEITHER.

I CAN RELATE.

COME. WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.

[ Weatherby ] WELL, IT'S AWAKE.

WHO ARE YOU?

COUNCIL.

WE'RE TAKING YOU BACK TO THE MOTHER COUNTRY.

SEEMS YOU'VE BEEN A NAUGHTY GIRL.

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'VE MADE A MISTAKE.

I AM NOT FAITH.

I'M BUFFY SUMMERS.

FAITH PERFORMED SOME KIND OF SPELL.

SHE SWITCHED OUR BODIES.

CONGRATULATIONS.

NO ONE'S EVER ACTUALLY TRIED THAT ONE ON ME BEFORE.

YOU HAVE TO FIND FAITH.

CALL GILES. JUST GET HIM HERE.

GILES DOESN'T WORK FOR THE COUNCIL ANYMORE.

FOR THAT MATTER, NEITHER DOES BUFFY SUMMERS.

AND WHAT YOU ARE, MISS, IS THE PACKAGE.

I DELIVER THE PACKAGE.

I DON'T MUCH CARE WHAT'S INSIDE.

COME ON.

HE MAY NOT CARE, BUT I DO.

THE WATCHERS COUNCIL USED TO MEAN SOMETHING.

YOU PERVERTED IT. YOU TRASH--

WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP.

[ Spits ]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HERE.

THE BRONZE IS THE COOLEST PLACE IN SUNNYDALE.

OF COURSE, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF COMPETITION.

I THINK THE VENDING MACHINE AT BURGIN'S CAME IN SECOND.

YOU USED TO COME HERE A LOT?

I LIVED HERE.

ME, XANDER...

BUFFY. [ Faith ] CHUG, CHUG, CHUG.

CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG-- OOH!

WOW. I DIDN'T THINK SHE'D BE HERE.

COME ON, I WANT YOU TO MEET HER.

BACK OFF. YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A DISAPPOINTMENT.

HEY, BUFFY.

WILLOW AND... UH--

BUFFY, THIS IS TARA.

HI.

SO WE'VE NEVER MET.

COOL. JUST HAVING A THING WITH NAMES.

TARA WAS IN MY WICCA GROUP.

UH-HUH.

SO, WHAT'S UP?

PATROL A NO GO?

[ Sigh ]

GOT TIRED.

YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE FAITH THING.

I LET OFF SOME STEAM.

GOOD FOR YOU.

YOU SHOULDN'T WORK YOURSELF TOO HARD.

THAT'S MY PHILOSOPHY.

ANYONE WANT A SODA?

WATER.

SO YOU GUYS BEEN HANGING OUT A LOT LATELY, HUH?

YEAH. SHE'S, UM, SHE'S REALLY COOL.

SO WILLOW'S NOT DRIVING STICK ANYMORE.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

I GUESS YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW SOMEONE

UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN INSIDE THEIR SKIN.

AND OZ IS OUT OF THE PICTURE?

OH, NEVER SEEN 2 PEOPLE SO MUCH IN LOVE.

SHE JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF OLD OZ.

SHE, UM, SAID HE, UH, UH, W-W-W-W-- WE--

HE W-W-W-W-WHAT?

YOU GONNA GET THAT SENTENCE OUT SOMETIME TONIGHT?

BUFFY, GUY IN THE CORNER.

YEAH. GOOD CALL.

WHAT?

VAMPIRE.

HE'S WICKED OBVIOUS.

SO I SHOULD SLAY HIM.

YOU WANT HELP?

NAH, I GOT IT.

[ Crack ]

HEY!

[ Hissing ]

YOU'LL LIVE.

[ Gasp ] HE WAS SO STRONG.

YEAH, WELL, HE'S GONE NOW.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

IT'S COOL.

EVERYTHING POOFED?

ALL'S WELL IN THE WORLD.

TARA'S NOT FEELING WELL. I'M GONNA WALK HER HOME.

YEAH. YOU GIVE HER WHATEVER SHE NEEDS.

ARE YOU GONNA BE IN LATER, OR YOU GOING OVER TO RILEY'S?

THIS'LL BLOODY KEEP YOU QUIET.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

I'LL BE QUIET, AND YOU CAN SCREAM.

AAH!

NOW YOU UNCHAIN ME... VERY SLOWLY AND POLITELY,

OR I KILL THIS GUY.

WHEN WE GO ON A JOB,

WE ALWAYS PUT OUR AFFAIRS IN ORDER FIRST,

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.

COLLINS...

SORRY, SMITHY.

SHE'S STARTING TO BOTHER ME.

GETTING HER ACROSS THE BORDER

IS GONNA BE A LOT MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH.

IF THE COUNCIL COULD EVEN GET US PASSAGE.

I'LL CALL THEM.

IT'S TIME FOR A CONTINGENCY PLAN.

[ Thud ]

[ Smith Groans ]

[ Door Opens ]

HI, BABY.

I'M SORRY YOU'RE FEELING ALL BLECHY.

BUT WE'LL GET TOGETHER WITH BUFFY ANOTHER TIME.

SOMETIME SOON. I THINK YOU'LL REALLY LIKE HER.

SHE'S NOT YOUR FRIEND.

I MAY HAVE OVERESTIMATED THE "YOU LIKING HER" FACTOR.

NO, NO. I MEAN, I DON'T-- I DON'T THINK SHE'S... HER.

YOU LOST ME.

WELL, A PERSON'S ENERGY HAS A FLOW, A UNITY.

BUFFY'S WAS-- WAS FRAGMENTED.

IT GRATED, LIKE SOMETHING FORCED IN WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG.

PLUS, SHE WAS, UM, SHE WAS KIND OF MEAN.

SO YOU THINK BUFFY'S NOT HERSELF?

LIKE SHE'S BEEN POSSESSED OR SOMETHING?

I'M NOT SURE.

YOU DIDN'T SENSE A HYENA ENERGY AT ALL, DID YOU?

BECAUSE HYENA POSSESSION IS JUST... UNPLEASANT.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING OF HERS?

OF BUFFY'S? UH... OH, THIS RING.

I-- I THINK THERE'S A WAY WE CAN, HMM.

THE PASSAGE TO THE NETHER REALM.

THERE'S A RITUAL.

IF YOU CAN FIND BUFFY THERE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE.

IF IT'LL HELP HER.

WHAT?

THE NETHER REALM EXISTS BEYOND THE PHYSICAL WORLD.

ACCESSING IT IS--

IT'S KIND OF LIKE ASTRAL PROJECTION.

IT'S VERY INTENSE.

I'D HAVE TO BE YOUR ANCHOR, KEEP YOU ON THIS PLANE.

I TRUST YOU.

IT'S NOT LIKE ANYTHING THAT WE'VE EVER--

I TRUST YOU.

YOU MISS ME?

I DID, ACTUALLY.

EVERYTHING'S OKAY?

EVERYTHING IS GREAT.

WHAT ABOUT FAITH?

FAITH HAS WON A FABULOUS TRIP TO ENGLAND,

AND I... GOT THE CONSOLATION PRIZE,

WHICH IS YOU.

SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FAITH SHOWING UP?

I HAVE TO ADMIT, I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS TO MEET HER.

OR I WAS UNTIL ABOUT 30 SECONDS AGO.

OH, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LIKED FAITH.

SHE'S NOT PROPER AND JOYLESS, LIKE A GIRL SHOULD BE.

SHE HAS A TENDENCY TO GIVE IN TO HER ANIMAL INSTINCTS.

DOOR'S OPEN.

SO?

SO MY FANTASIES DON'T TEND TO INCLUDE

A BUNCH OF MARINES STARING IN AT ME.

OH, MAYBE THEY COULD LEARN SOMETHING.

OOH.

YOU'RE HURT.

UM, NOT THAT BAD, ACTUALLY.

I GUESS THE, UH, DRUGS THE PROFESSOR GAVE ME REALLY DID MAKE ME STRONGER.

I'M HEALING PRETTY QUICK.

MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE YOU FOR A TEST DRIVE.

I WOULDN'T SAY NO.

SO...HOW DO YOU WANT ME?

HOW DO I...

YEAH. WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH THIS BODY?

WHAT NASTY LITTLE DESIRE HAVE YOU BEEN ITCHING TO TRY OUT?

AM I A BAD GIRL? DO YOU WANNA HURT ME?

WHAT ARE WE PLAYING AT HERE?

I'M BUFFY.

OKAY. THEN I'LL BE RILEY.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY--

RIGHT. I DON'T WANNA PLAY.

[ Both ] THE INWARD EYE, THE SIGHTLESS SEA...

AYALA FLOWS THROUGH THE RIVER IN ME.

THE INWARD EYE, THE SIGHTLESS SEA...

AYALA FLOWS THROUGH THE RIVER IN ME.

THE INWARD EYE, THE SIGHTLESS SEA...

AYALA FLOWS THROUGH THE RIVER IN ME.

THE INWARD EYE, THE SIGHTLESS SEA...

AYALA FLOWS THROUGH THE RIVER IN ME.

[ Heavy Breathing ]

[ Breathing Labors And Quickens ]

UNH.

I LOVE YOU.

GET OFF.

NO. NO. NO. GET OFF!

NO. OFF ME. GET OFF. BUFFY--

NO, DON'T. GET--

BUFFY... WHAT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HER?

SHOULD I NOT HAVE--

THIS IS MEANINGLESS.

YOU'RE SHAKING.

SHH, SHH, SHH.

WHAT HAPPENED?

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

I HAVE A GIFT NO MAN HAS...

NO DEMON HAS EVER HAD.

I KNOW WHY I'M HERE.

I WAS CREATED TO KILL,

TO EXTINGUISH LIFE WHEREVER I FIND IT.

AND I HAVE ACCEPTED THAT RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU HAVE LIVED IN FEAR AND DESPERATION

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT GIFT.

BUT IT'S TIME TO FACE YOUR FEAR.

TELL US WHAT TO DO.

YOU ARE HERE TO BE MY FIRST...

TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I AM COMING.

WE'RE READY.

THEN ASK YOURSELF, WHAT IS IT?

MORE THAN MAN, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE...

WHAT IS THE THING YOU FEAR?

HOPE YOU LEFT HIM ALIVE.

WHAT?

BOY'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE MEND.

I DON'T SEE YOU LETTING HIM GET MUCH REST.

I THINK MAYBE YOU SHOULD STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.

WE'VE GOT A MISSION HERE.

BACK WHEN RILEY COULD STILL THINK FOR HIMSELF--

YOU'VE GOT A MISSION?

I'VE BEEN FIGHTING DEMONS SINCE BEFORE YOU COULD SHAVE.

YEAH, YOU'RE A KILLER.

I AM NOT A KILLER.

I AM THE SLAYER.

AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT ME.

YOU REALLY CARE WHAT I THINK?

NO. I DON'T CARE.

GOD, I DON'T CARE.

[ Door Slams ]

THEY CAN'T GET US PASSAGE. THEY'VE ORDERED THE KILL.

TORCH THE PLACE?

GET THE GAS.

SHE COULD'VE KILLED ME. SHE DIDN'T.

LUCKY YOU.

WEATHERBY!

KEYS, KEYS.

STOP HER, YOU PONCE.

OKAY, I'M GOOD AT THIS.

OOH, DRIVE.

OKAY, THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

GILES! GAAH!

DON'T MOVE.

OKAY, GILES, YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

I'M NOT FAITH. REALLY?

REALLY.

'CAUSE THE RESEMBLANCE IS STRIKING.

I KNOW. GILES, YOU JUST HAVE TO-- STOP INCHING.

YOU WERE INCHING.

LOOK, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, AND-- AND--

I'M BUFFY.

ALL RIGHT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY LESS CRAZY.

FAITH SWITCHED. I MEAN, SHE HAD SOME DEVICE.

SHE SWITCHED OUR BODIES.

GILES, I SWEAR... IT'S ME.

UM, IF YOU ARE BUFFY,

THEN, UM... THEN YOU'LL LET ME TIE YOU UP

WITHOUT KILLING ME...

UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHETHER YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

GILES, FAITH HAS TAKEN MY BODY,

AND FOR ALL I KNOW, SHE'S TAKEN IT TO MEXICO BY NOW.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR BONDAGE FUN.

ASK ME A QUESTION. ASK ME ANYTHING.

WHO'S PRESIDENT?

WE'RE CHECKING FOR BUFFY, NOT A CONCUSSION.

OH, YES, RIGHT. UM--

OH, THIS IS-- GILES, YOU TURNED INTO A DEMON,

AND I KNEW IT WAS YOU.

CAN'T YOU JUST LOOK IN MY EYES AND BE ALL INTUITIVE?

HOW DID I TURN INTO A DEMON?

OH, 'CAUSE, UH, ETHAN RAYNE.

AND YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND NAMED OLIVIA,

AND YOU HAVEN'T HAD A JOB SINCE WE BLEW UP THE SCHOOL,

WHICH IS VALID LIFESTYLE-WISE.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE A SLACKER-TYPE, BUT--

OH, OH! WHEN I HAD PSYCHIC POWER,

I HEARD MY MOM THINK THAT YOU WERE LIKE A STEVEDORE DURING SEX.

DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE?

ACTUALLY, I BEG YOU TO STOP.

WHAT'S A STEVEDORE?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S--

UM, I NEED YOU TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

AND I WILL, AFTER WE GET FAITH.

GILES!

WIL. OH, MY GOD.

WILLOW, WAIT. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE BUFFY. YOU AND FAITH SWITCHED BODIES,

PROBABLY THROUGH A DRACONIAN KATRA SPELL.

SHE UNDERSTANDS IT BETTER THAN I DO.

HOW DID YOU--

TARA. TARA, THIS IS BUFFY,

ONLY REALLY THIS TIME.

HI.

TARA'S A REALLY POWERFUL WITCH.

NOT REALLY.

NO, REALLY. SHE KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT YOU WEREN'T YOU.

SO WE CONNECTED WITH THE NETHER REALMS

TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

AND WE CONJURED THIS.

WHAT IS--

IT'S A KATRA.

OR THE HOME-CONJURED VERSION.

IT SHOULD SWITCH YOU BACK,

IF YOU CAN GET AHOLD OF FAITH.

OH, THANK GOD.

[ Telephone Rings ]

I'LL GET IT.

HELLO.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE FAITH IS?

YES, UH, BUFFY'S HERE WITH ME.

ACTUALLY, SHE-- SHE-- OH, ALL RIGHT.

XANDER. APPARENTLY THERE'S A REPORT ON THE TELEVISION.

...AND BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN THE CHURCH

WITH AT LEAST 20 PARISHIONERS.

ONE OF THE FEW WHO ESCAPED

DESCRIBED THE 3 MEN AS FRIGHTENINGLY DISFIGURED.

ALMOST INHUMAN.

SO FAR, ONE ESCAPEE HAS SINCE DIED OF SEVERE NECK WOUNDS.

THERE IS NO REPORT ON THE CONDITION OF THE PARISHIONERS STILL TRAPPED INSIDE,

BUT THEIR ASSAILANTS HAVE VOWED TO KILL ALL OF THEM

IF POLICE ATTEMPT TO STORM THE CHURCH.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.

I'VE BEEN AVOIDING THIS PLACE FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND IT'S NOTHING.

IT'S NICE! IT'S GOT THE PRETTY WINDOWS,

THE PILLARS...

LOTS OF FOLKS TO EAT.

WHERE'S THE THING I WAS SO AFRAID OF?

YOU KNOW, THE LORD?

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

HE GAVE US THIS ADDRESS.

WELL, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO START KILLING OFF HIS PEOPLE,

SEE IF HE SHOWS UP.

WHAT'D HE SAY?

HE SAID I SHOULD DEFER COMMAND TO YOU.

THEN YOU HOLD YOUR MEN UNTIL THE RESERVES ARRIVE.

THIS IS A MILITARY SITUATION.

WHAT, THEY GOT BOMBS IN THERE?

YOUR MEN ARE NOT PREPARED TO DEAL WITH THEM. TRUST ME.

BUFFY.

HOW MANY ARE IN THERE?

WE THINK THERE'S 3.

I CAN DO 3.

NOT ALONE. WAIT FOR THE TROOPS TO GET HERE.

THEY'RE STILL MOBILIZING.

HOW DID YOU RESPOND SO FAST?

I DIDN'T. I WAS JUST LATE FOR CHURCH.

LOOK, WHEN THE TROOPS GET HERE, SEND 'EM IN, BUT I'M GOING.

I DON'T WANT YOU RISKING--

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

I'M BUFFY.

I HAVE TO DO THIS.

THEN I'M COMING WITH.

OW!

I CAN'T USE YOU.

SOMEONE COMES OUT, YOU GET 'EM TO SAFETY, UNLESS THEY'VE GOT FANGS.

I TOLD THE COPS, THEY SEND ANYONE IN,

I START THE WHOLE MASSACRE THING.

WELL, I'M NOT THE COPS.

I JUST COME TO PRAY.

[ Vamp ] NOW'S A GOOD TIME TO START.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA KILL THESE PEOPLE.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

YOU'RE THE SLAYER.

THE ONE AND ONLY.

YOU PEOPLE, GET OUT OF HERE!

WE'VE GOTTA GET INSIDE.

THE POLICE ARE HANDLING THIS. BACK OFF RIGHT NOW.

WE CAN'T. WE'VE GOTTA-- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

LISTEN--

DAMN IT, MAN, WE HAVE TO GET INSIDE.

OUR, UM, UH... OUR FAMILIES ARE IN THERE.

OUR, UM, MOTHERS AND TINY, TINY BABIES.

YOU THINK WE'RE AFRAID OF YOU?

WE'RE NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING ANYMORE.

THEN LET ALL THESE PEOPLE GO,

AND ALL 3 OF YOU CAN TAKE ME ON.

HEH. I GOT A BETTER IDEA.

YOU FORGOT YOUR COAT.

RILEY.

OHH. IT'S OKAY, MISS.

JUST GET YOURSELF OUT OF HARM'S WAY.

RILEY, IT'S ME.

NEVER MIND. HOW MANY ARE IN THERE?

WELL... WHO ARE YOU?

I HAVE STRENGTH YOU COULDN'T DREAM OF.

ADAM HAS SHOWN ME THE WAY, AND THERE IS NOTHING-- AAH!

YOU CAN'T WIN THIS.

SHUT UP! DO YOU THINK I'M AFRAID OF YOU?

YOU'RE NOTHING. DISGUSTING. MURDEROUS BITCH.

YOU'RE NOTHING.

YOU'RE DISGUSTING.

SHE'S GONE.

NOT A TRACE.

GILES SAID THE COUNCIL GUYS HAVE CLEARED OUT, TOO.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HOW COULD SHE HAVE-- I MEAN, HOW'S IT POSSIBLE?

MAGIC.

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING.

I SHOULD'VE PICKED UP ON IT.

I SHOULD'VE JUST--

YOU SLEPT WITH HER.

I SLEPT WITH YOU.

MAN, WOULD I LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON HER.

NOT IN A SEX WAY.

I DON'T THINK SHE'S COMING BACK.

GUESS SHE'S HAD HER FUN.

YEAH.

FUN.

GRR! ARRGH!
