Original subtitles

[ Oz ] A WEREWOLF IN LOVE.

[ Man ] PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

OZ, DON'T YOU LOVE ME?

[ Oz ] THE WOLF IS INSIDE ME ALL THE TIME,

AND UNTIL I FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT MEANS,

I SHOULDN'T BE AROUND YOU--

OR ANYBODY.

[ Buffy ] THE INITIATIVE CREATED THIS THING AND NOW THEY CAN'T STOP IT.

- BUT WE WILL. - [ Riley ] THE IMPLANT WORKS.

HOSTILE 17 CAN'T HARM ANY LIVING CREATURE IN ANY WAY.

I GET THIS CHIP OUT, YOU AND ME ARE GONNA HAVE A CONFRONTATION.

[ Wind Whistling ]

I JUST LIKE HAVING SOMETHING THAT'S... MINE.

I AM, YOU KNOW-- YOURS.

DO YOU LIKE CATS?

I'M MORE OF A DOG PERSON, MYSELF.

BUT I'M NOT, LIKE, DEATH TO ALL CATS.

WHY?

'CAUSE I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE.

CAN YOU HAVE ONE IN THE DORMS?

NO, BUT THIS WOULD BE A SNEAKY CAT.

THAT WOULD BE COOL.

YOU MEAN IT'D BE SORT OF LIKE A FAMILIAR?

ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING

IT'D BE SORT OF LIKE A PET.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD--

WE COULD NAME HER TRIXIE

OR MISS KITTY FANTASTICO OR SOMETHING.

AND WE COULD MAKE KITTY GO BONKERS

WITH STRING AND CATNIP AND STUFF?

ABSOLUTELY.

FUN. I'M IN.

SO, YOU'RE NOT ALLERGIC OR ANYTHING?

NOPE.

GOOD, 'CAUSE I WANT

MY ROOM TO BE WILLOW-FRIENDLY.

ME, TOO.

SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE SCOOBY MEETING.

I THINK.

WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

I'M NOT SURE.

PROBABLY JUST YOUR GARDEN-VARIETY DISASTER.

[ Buffy ] ZIPPO.

PATROL'S BEEN TOTALLY UNEVENTFUL.

MY KILL COUNT'S WAY DOWN.

SHE MEANS THERE'S BEEN LESS BAD-GUY ACTIVITY.

WE KNOW WHAT THAT OFTEN INDICATES.

BUFFY DOESN'T MAKE HER QUOTA...

BAD SLAYER.

WELL, I WISH IT WERE THAT INNOCUOUS.

BUT WITH ADAM AROUND,

I FEEL HE'S INVOLVED SOMEHOW.

WHEN THINGS GET SLOW, IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE

THERE'S SOME EXTRA EVIL BREWING.

EXCEPT, THE WEIRD THING IS,

WE'VE BEEN BUSY AT THE INITIATIVE.

OUR SQUADS ARE PULLING A LOT MORE CAPTURES.

WE'VE GOT DEMONS COMING OUT OUR EARS.

THAT'S A METAPHOR.

I GOT IT. THANKS.

I'M OVERHELPING, AREN'T I?

SO THE ACTIVITY HAS SHIFTED

BUT NOT STOPPED.

FASCINATING.

[ Anya ] TO AN EXTREMELY BORED PERSON, MAYBE.

WELL, THAT WAS A THRILLING HOUR.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T APPRECIATE

YOUR SNIDE REMARKS, ANYA.

NOW, I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE

IN THESE MATTERS,

AND IF I SAY THERE IS A MATTER

OF SOME IMPORT BREWING, I-- I--

HEY.

OZ.

OZ.

[ Willow ] WH-WHEN DID YOU GET BACK?

PRETTY MUCH NOW.

OZ, MAN.

HATE TO SOUND GRANDMA, BUT...

YOU DON'T CALL. YOU DON'T WRITE.

YEAH. SORRY.

SO ARE YOU HERE HERE,

OR ARE YOU JUST PASSING THROUGH?

WELL, UM, LET'S NOT BOMBARD THE POOR CHAP

WITH QUESTIONS RIGHT OFF.

CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?

TEA, PERHAPS?

I'LL PASS.

THANKS.

LOOK,

I'M GOING TO DEVON'S

TO SEE IF HE'S GOT A PLACE I CAN CRASH,

BUT I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD TALK.

LATER.

TONIGHT.

I GUESS SO.

I'LL COME BY YOUR PLACE?

OKAY.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN.

REALLY.

EVERYONE'S UNCOMFORTABLE NOW.

YOU OKAY?

I--

I JUST-- UM, I REALIZED

I'M LATE FOR STUDY GROUP.

TARA, WAIT.

NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.

YOU SHOULD BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS,

AND I SHOULD GO.

BUT--

SO, UM, I WAS MISSING SOMETHING

THIS AFTERNOON, WASN'T I?

I MEAN, BREAKUPS ARE TOUGH,

BUT WHEN OZ WALKED IN,

IT SEEMED LIKE EMOTIONS WERE RUNNING EXTRA HIGH.

OZ AND WILLOW HAD A ROUGH BREAKUP.

HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

MAN, THAT WAS RECORD TIME.

IT'S NO FUN WHEN THEY'RE THAT EASY.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

BASE, THIS IS AGENT FINN.

WE'VE AN H.S.T. DOWN.

PLEASE SEND A RETRIEVAL TEAM TO SECTOR 72.

[ Base Agent ] WE'RE SWAMPED DOWN HERE, FINN.

WE'LL GET TO IT AS SOON AS WE CAN.

SO, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING FASCINATING.

OZ AND WILLOW.

RIGHT.

THEY HAD A ROUGH BREAKUP.

SOME STUFF CAME UP,

AND OZ PRETTY MUCH BAILED OVERNIGHT.

IT LEFT WIL REALLY DEVASTATED.

I REMEMBER.

THE THING IS, BEFORE THAT,

THEY WERE DOING GREAT.

I MEAN, SHE WAS TOTALLY DEALING

WITH OZ BEING A WEREWOLF. IT WASN'T--

WHOA. BACK UP, THERE.

OZ IS A WEREWOLF,

AND WILLOW WAS DATING HIM?

YES.

HENCE THE HIGH EMOTIONS.

MAN, YOU'RE KIDDING ME?

GOT TO SAY I'M SURPRISED.

I DIDN'T THINK WILLOW WAS THAT KIND OF GIRL.

WHAT KIND OF GIRL?

INTO DANGEROUS GUYS.

SHE SEEMED SMARTER THAN THAT.

OZ IS NOT DANGEROUS.

SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM THAT WASN'T HIS FAULT.

GOD, I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE SUCH A BIGOT.

WHOA!

HEY, HOW DID WE GET TO BIGOT?

I'M JUST SAYING IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD TO DATE SOMEONE

WHO TRIES TO EAT YOU ONCE A MONTH.

YEAH, WELL, LOVE ISN'T LOGICAL, RILEY.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN BE

MR. JOE SENSIBLE ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME.

GOD KNOWS I HAVEN'T BEEN.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.

HOW ABOUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS AT ALL?

OKAY? LET'S JUST PATROL.

HEY.

HEY.

SO...

YOU WANT TO COME INSIDE?

ACTUALLY, I WANT YOU TO COME OUTSIDE.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

OZ...

THIS IS ALL SO WEIRD.

I-- I FEEL LIKE...

THIS ISN'T REALLY HAPPENING,

LIKE IT'S A DREAM OR SOMETHING.

IT'S REAL.

LOOK UP.

WHAT?

LOOK AT THE SKY.

I GUESS YOU STOPPED KEEPING TRACK OF THEM

AFTER I LEFT.

FULL MOON.

FULL MOON.

FULL MOON. BUT-- BUT HOW?

I MEAN, YOU DID IT.

HOW DID YOU DO IT?

WHERE DID YOU GO?

IT'S A LONG STORY.

OH, MY GOD, OZ.

THIS IS--

I MEAN--

IT'S WONDERFUL FOR YOU.

I TALKED TO XANDER,

AND HE SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE A NEW GUY.

NO.

NO NEW GUY.

I KNOW WHAT I PUT YOU THROUGH,

AND I'M NOT GONNA PUSH.

BUT I AM...

A DIFFERENT PERSON

THAN WHEN I LEFT,

AND I CAN BE WHAT YOU NEED NOW.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

[ Bushes Rustling ]

SIR.

I LOVE THIS.

A WOMAN IN TIBET TRADED IT TO ME FOR THE RADIOHEAD RECORD.

GOT A LOT OF MILEAGE OUT OF THE BARTER SYSTEM.

SO, TIBET WAS YOUR FAVORITE?

WELL, IT'S WHERE I STAYED THE LONGEST.

THIS WARLOCK IN ROMANIA SENT ME TO THE MONKS THERE

TO LEARN SOME MEDITATION TECHNIQUES.

VERY INTENSE.

ALL ABOUT KEEPING YOUR INNER COOL.

GOOD, 'CAUSE YOU WERE SUCH A SPAZ BEFORE.

SO THAT'S IT?

YOU KEEP YOUR COOL, AND NO MORE WOLFIE?

NO, THERE'S MORE.

I TAKE SOME HERBS AND STUFF.

SOME CHANTING.

COUPLE OF CHARMS.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

YOU'VE BEEN ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

YOU'VE HAD THIS COMPLETE

MIND-BODY TRANSFORMATION.

I'VE JUST BEEN HERE,

SAME OLD SUNNYDALE.

DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH A LOT.

IT'S TRUE.

SOME OF IT, YOU KNOW,

WAS ME TELLING MYSELF I HATED YOU

AND CURSING YOUR NAME.

NOT LITERALLY.

WELL, THANKS FOR THAT.

AND...

I DON'T KNOW,

I-- I THINK I'M GETTING BETTER

AT MY SPELLS AND STUFF.

IT'S SO LIGHT OUT.

YEAH, WE TALKED ALL NIGHT.

WELL, I BELIEVE A MANLY-SIZED BREAKFAST

IS IN ORDER, DON'T YOU?

OR WE COULD JUST...

SLEEP A LITTLE WHILE.

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

I'LL HAVE THE LESS CONFUSING WAFFLES RIGHT NOW.

BREAKFAST IT IS.

LET ME JUST FRESHEN UP.

[ Knock On Door ]

OH, SORRY. I-I-I'LL COME BACK.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR WILLOW?

SHE'S JUST IN THE BATHROOM DOWN THE HALL.

NO, NO, NO. IT'S-- IT'S OKAY.

I SAW YOU AT GILES' YESTERDAY.

YEAH. SOMETIMES

WILLOW TAKES ME WITH HER TO THE S-SCOOBIES.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO COME IN?

WHAT?

YOUR FRIEND CAME BY.

THE BLONDE GIRL?

BUT SHE WOULDN'T STAY.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

[ Alarm Beeps ]

MORNING.

MORNING.

THOSE, LIKE, REGULATION?

DO YOU HAVE TO DO THOSE EVERY MORNING?

NO.

JUST A GOOD WAY TO START THE DAY.

GREAT. THEN YOU CAN HAVE

YOUR PERFECTLY BALANCED BREAKFAST,

AND THEN YOU CAN CALL YOUR MOTHER.

OKAY, I'VE BEEN UP LESS THAN A MINUTE,

AND SOMEHOW I'VE MANAGED TO PISS YOU OFF.

I SHOULD GO HOME.

NO.

COME ON.

IS IT THAT WHOLE THING

ABOUT WILLOW LAST NIGHT?

LOOK...

I ONLY SAID WHAT I SAID

BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER GET HURT.

YOU SOUNDED LIKE MR. INITIATIVE.

DEMONS BAD. PEOPLE GOOD.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT THEOREM?

THERE'S DIFFERENT DEGREES OF--

EVIL?

IT'S JUST DIFFERENT

WITH DIFFERENT DEMONS.

THERE ARE CREATURES,

VAMPIRES, FOR EXAMPLE,

THAT AREN'T EVIL AT ALL.

NAME ONE.

RI, WE NEED YOU DOWNSTAIRS.

BETA TEAM GOT HIT.

BAD?

WE LOST WILLIS.

GRAHAM?

HE'S WALKING.

WE'RE GOING ON A HUNT.

WHAT KIND OF DEMON WAS IT?

DOES IT MATTER?

[ Door Slams ]

HEY.

HEY.

YOU OKAY?

YEAH, JUST--

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOU AND OZ.

YOU SAW HIM, RIGHT?

I WAS WITH HIM ALL NIGHT.

ALL NIGHT?

OH, MY GOD.

WAIT.

LAST NIGHT WAS A WOLF MOON, RIGHT?

YUP.

SO EITHER YOU'RE ABOUT TO TELL ME

SOMETHING INCREDIBLY KINKY, OR--

NO KINK.

HE DIDN'T CHANGE, BUFFY.

HE SAID HE WAS GONNA FIND A CURE,

AND HE DID.

IN TIBET.

OH MY GOD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

OKAY, I'M ALL WITH THE WHOO-HOO HERE,

AND YOU'RE NOT.

NO, THERE'S "WHOO" AND "HOO,"

BUT THERE'S "UH-OH"

AND "WHY NOW?"

AND IT'S COMPLICATED.

WHY COMPLICATED?

IT'S COMPLICATED...

BECAUSE OF TARA.

YOU MEAN TARA HAS A CRUSH ON OZ?

NO, YOU--

OH.

OH.

UM...

WELL...

THAT'S GREAT.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I THINK-- I THINK TARA'S

A REALLY GREAT GIRL, WIL.

SHE IS.

AND...

THERE'S SOMETHING BETWEEN US.

IT WASN'T SOMETHING I WAS LOOKING FOR.

IT'S JUST POWERFUL.

AND IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT

FROM WHAT OZ AND I HAVE.

WELL, THERE YOU GO.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO...

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART, WIL.

AND THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT, WIL.

WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING MY NAME LIKE THAT?

LIKE WHAT, WIL?

ARE YOU FREAKED?

WHAT?

NO, WIL, DON--

NO.

NO, ABSOLUTELY NO

TO THAT QUESTION.

I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME.

WHAT DID YOU SAY TO OZ?

I WAS GONNA TELL HIM.

BUT THEN WE STARTED HANGING OUT,

AND I COULD JUST FEEL

EVERYTHING COMING BACK.

HE'S OZ, YOU KNOW?

YEAH, I KNOW.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE, BUFFY.

NO MATTER WHAT, SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HURT.

AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE HONEST,

OR IT'S GONNA BE A LOT WORSE.

[ Door Opens ]

[ Heavy Footsteps ]

FROM THE SOUND OF THOSE MASSIVE MUD FLAPS,

I'D PEG YOU AS A DEMON,

WHICH MEANS YOU'RE IN FOR A WORLD OF...

PAIN.

SPIKE, I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.

DO YOU?

WELL, LET'S GO, THEN.

OW.

COME.

YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM.

WHY IS THAT, EXACTLY?

I'M GOING TO HELP YOU WITH YOURS.

HI.

HI.

I CAN ONLY STAY FOR A MINUTE.

I HAVE CLASS.

ME, TOO. I-- I HAVE CLASS, TOO.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHAT YOU SAW

THIS MORNING, IT WASN'T--

NO, IT'S OKAY.

I-- I ALWAYS KNEW THAT IF HE CAME BACK--

WE WERE JUST TALKING.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

OH.

REALLY?

BUT YOU KNOW, IT WAS INTENSE,

JUST TALKING.

WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.

I KIND OF FEEL LIKE

MY HEAD'S GONNA EXPLODE.

WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, HAPPENS,

I'LL STILL BE HERE.

I'LL STILL BE YOUR FRIEND.

OF COURSE WE'LL BE FRIENDS.

THAT'S NOT EVEN A QUESTION.

BUT I'M SAYING,

I KNOW WHAT OZ MEANS TO YOU.

HOW CAN YOU,

WHEN I'M NOT EVEN SURE?

I MEAN,

I KNOW WHAT HE MEANT TO ME.

BUT HE LEFT, AND...

EVERYTHING CHANGED.

I CHANGED, AND...

THEN WE--

WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST-- LIFE WAS STARTING

TO GET SO GOOD AGAIN, AND...

YOU'RE A BIG PART OF THAT.

AND HERE COMES THE THING

I WANTED MOST OF ALL, AND...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I WANT TO KNOW,

BUT I DON'T.

DO WHAT MAKES YOU

H-H-HAPPY.

WILLOW.

HEY.

I THOUGHT I SMELL--

UH, HEARD WILLOW.

HEY.

YOU'RE, UM,

YOU'RE COMING BACK TO SCHOOL HERE, HUH?

PRETTY MUCH.

FEELING ODDLY MOTIVATED.

THAT'S, UM, THAT'S GREAT.

I MEAN, THAT'S GREAT

FOR YOU AND WILLOW, RIGHT?

I HOPE SO.

GOOD. THAT'S...

BECAUSE--

IS THAT HER SWEATER?

I JUST-- I JUST HOPE

THAT YOU GUYS'LL BE VERY HAPPY.

YOU SMELL LIKE HER.

SHE'S ALL OVER YOU. DO YOU KNOW THAT?

I CAN'T.

I-- I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS.

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT?

ARE YOU TWO INVOLVED?

I HAVE-- I HAVE TO GO.

BECAUSE SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO ME LIKE THAT.

WE TALKED ALL NIGHT,

AND SHE NEVER--

NO, STOP!

IS SHE IN LOVE WITH YOU?

TELL ME! IS SHE?

RUN.

[ Tara Screams ]

ARE YOU OKAY?

WHAT'S GOING ON? WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

[ Man ] IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE ONE OF THE DEMONS

THAT TOOK OUT GRAHAM'S GUYS THE OTHER NIGHT.

[ Riley ] SO WE'LL TAKE IT BACK AND MAKE AN I.D.

IF IT IS, WE'LL PUT HIM DOWN.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. THAT'S A--

LISTEN, WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.

YOU'RE IN SHOCK.

BUT-- WE'LL HANDLE IT.

NO.

WELL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF FUN.

YOU SEE MY PROBLEM, THOUGH.

TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF THE HUMANS DOESN'T HELP ME.

I'LL BE NEEDING HEAVY CASUALTIES ON BOTH SIDES.

I GET THAT.

I'M STILL NOT SURE HOW THE SLAYER FITS IN.

THE HUMANS NEED A LEADER...

A CHAMPION.

THE SLAYER CAN DO THAT.

YEAH.

THE THING ABOUT THE SLAYER IS

SHE IS A WHINY LITTLE THING,

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE FIGHTING,

SHE DOES HAVE A SLIGHT TENDENCY TO WIN.

THEN I GUESS YOU SHOULD BE ON HER SIDE.

THIS ALL GOES DOWN, THE CHIP COMES OUT, YEAH?

NO TRICKS?

SCOUT'S HONOR.

YOU WERE A BOY SCOUT?

PARTS OF ME.

WHAT'S UP? YOU OKAY?

OZ.

WE WERE TALKING, AND HE CHANGED...

RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

WHAT? IT'S DAYLIGHT.

I KNOW, BUT IT HAPPENED.

OH, MY GOD. ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

RILEY AND THE COMMANDO GUYS, THEY STOPPED HIM,

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW IT'S OZ.

I TRIED TO TELL THEM, BUT THEY TOOK HIM AWAY.

WHEN? JUST NOW?

I THINK THEY MIGHT HURT HIM.

I HAVE TO GO. I HAVE TO FIND BUFFY.

I KNOW.

TARA SAID THEY TOOK HIM

RIGHT BEFORE SHE FOUND ME.

SO THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT?

I MEAN, THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T HAD TIME

TO EVISCERATE HIM YET.

AN, YOU CAN HELP BY MAKING THIS A QUIET TIME.

ONCE AGAIN WE'RE FACED WITH A FAIRLY DAUNTING PROSPECT

OF HAVING TO INFILTRATE THE INITIATIVE.

IT'D BE GREAT IF WE KNEW SOMEONE

DATING A MAN ON THE INSIDE,

SOMEONE WITH CONNECTIONS.

OH, WAIT!

HE'S STILL NOT ANSWERING HIS PAGES.

I LEFT HIM ANOTHER MESSAGE.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

WELL, WE NEED TO MOVE FAST,

SO WE MAKE A PLAN WITHOUT RILEY...

AND HOPE HE CALLS.

WHAT'S THE WORD, DOC?

IS THIS THE ANIMAL THAT TOOK APART OUR MEN?

WE DON'T KNOW YET, SOLDIER.

WHAT'S THE HOLDUP? I THOUGHT GRAHAM GAVE YOU A FULL DESCRIPTION.

THE HOLDUP IS THAT HE DESCRIBED

CHARACTERISTICS PRESENT IN OVER 40 KNOWN VARIETIES OF DEMON,

SO WE'RE CROSS-CHECKING DNA EVIDENCE-- HAIR, FIBERS.

AND HOW LONG IS THAT GOING TO TAKE?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I DON'T NEED A BUNCH OF TESTS TO KNOW

THAT THIS THING'S A KILLER.

HEY, HE'S COMING TO. OZ...

[ Doctor ] HE WON'T BE ABLE TO TALK FOR A WHILE.

WE GAVE HIM HALDOL TO KEEP HIM QUIET.

WHY? HE'S NOT A THREAT NOW.

I ALLOWED YOU TO STAY

AS LONG AS YOU LET US DO OUR WORK, AGENT FINN.

ONLY COLONEL McNAMARA CAN PLACE A CEASE ORDER ON MEDICAL TESTING,

AND HE'S TOLD US TO PROCEED.

[ Second Doctor ] I ALWAYS SUSPECTED

THAT STUFF ABOUT WEREWOLF TRANSFORMATIONS

BEING BASED ON A LUNAR CYCLE WAS CAMPFIRE TALK.

OH, HEY, THAT'S ENOUGH.

COME ON, THE GUY'S A STUDENT. I KNOW HIM.

TAKE HIM OUT!

AAH!

[ Oz Snorts ]

[ Second Doctor ] SEE THAT?

TRANSFORMATION RELATED TO NEGATIVE STIMULATION.

SOMETHING'S WRONG.

RILEY USUALLY RETURNS MY PHONE CALLS BY NOW.

WE CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER.

I KNOW.

OKAY. XANDER, YOU AND I ARE GOING TO GO IN.

WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

I'M GOING WITH YOU.

NO. LOOK, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS, WIL.

BESIDES, I NEED YOU TO HELP GILES

HACK INTO THE CITY'S ELECTRICAL GRID.

WE'VE GOT TO TRY TO POWER DOWN THE INITIATIVE.

GILES CAN DO IT WITHOUT ME.

I CAN GIVE HIM ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS.

I CAN SHOW HIM EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.

OF COURSE. I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE.

OKAY.

OKAY, YOU CAN BACK US UP.

NOW, THE ONLY WAY I KNOW INTO THE INITIATIVE

IS THROUGH THE ELEVATOR IN THE LOWELL HOUSE,

BUT MY CLEARANCE IS LONG GONE.

SO WE GRAB A GUY, MAKE HIM TAKE US.

[ Spike ] OR YOU COULD JUST USE THE BACK WAY.

HELL OF A LOT LESS BOTHER.

HOW DID YOU GET IN?

[ Spike ] THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO WATCH THAT, RUPERT.

SOMEONE DANGEROUS COULD GET IN.

OR SOMEONE FORMERLY DANGEROUS AND CURRENTLY ANNOYING.

NOW, NOW.

NONE OF THAT,

OR I WON'T HELP YOU GET RED'S MONGREL BACK.

BAD NEWS TRAVELS FAST WITH US DEMONS.

WE ALL LIKE A GOOD LAUGH.

SHORT OF CASH, SPIKE?

I HAPPEN TO BE SEEKING MONETARY GRATIFICATION, YEAH.

BUT I ALSO GET A KICK OUT OF

JACKIN' UP THOSE ARMY GINKS MYSELF.

I KNOW HOW TO FIND THE BIG GUY WHO CAN TAKE YOU TO OZ.

[ Buffy ] UH-HUH.

SO WHAT'S THE GOING RATE ON A WILD-GOOSE CHASE, SPIKE?

FINE. IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED.

BUT I WAS STUCK IN THAT HOLE, REMEMBER?

AND I'VE HEARD THINGS FROM OTHER GUYS WHO'VE GOTTEN OUT.

I CAN GET YOU IN. NO ALARMS, NO CAMERAS...

NO WAITING.

[ Shuddering ]

[ Door Opens ]

[ Footsteps ]

OZ.

PUT THESE ON, MAN.

COME ON.

END OF THE LINE.

AT EASE.

PERMISSION TO SPEAK, COLONEL.

DENIED.

BEING NEW AROUND HERE, FINN,

I HAD A LOOK AT YOUR RECORD AND PROFESSOR WALSH'S NOTES.

UNTIL RECENTLY, YOU WERE AN EXEMPLARY SOLDIER

HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE TOP,

AND THEN YOU MEET THIS GIRL, THIS...

SLAYER, AND SUDDENLY YOU BEGIN TO EXHIBIT SIGNS OF DISLOYALTY.

YOU ABUSE YOUR COMMAND.

BUT TONIGHT...

TO RELEASE A LETHAL H.S.T. BACK INTO THE POPULATION--

SIR, THE PRISONER--

YOU WILL SPEAK WHEN I TELL YOU TO!

TOMORROW I AM GOING TO INSTITUTE A COURT-MARTIAL

TO INVESTIGATE THE EXTENT OF YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SLAYER

AND HER BAND OF FREAKS.

THEY'RE ANARCHISTS, FINN...

TOO BACKWARDS FOR THE REAL WORLD.

YOU HELP US TAKE THEM DOWN,

AND YOU JUST MIGHT SAVE YOUR MILITARY CAREER.

OTHERWISE YOU'LL GO TO YOUR GRAVE LABELED A TRAITOR.

NO WOMAN IS WORTH THAT.

[ Buffy ] I'VE MENTIONED HOW MUCH I'M GOING TO KILL YOU

IF THIS IS A SCAM, RIGHT?

LOOK, WOULD I WEAR THIS

IF I WASN'T ON THE UP AND UP?

YOU DO SORT OF LOOK LIKE AN EVIL OLIVE.

GUYS, CHECK IT OUT.

FOR A NASTY TOWN LIKE SUNNYDALE,

NOBODY SEEMS TO MIND THEIR LOCKS.

YOU FIRST.

TRY TYPING IN...

X-H-4-J-7

FOR THE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN COMMAND.

THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL GRID

FOR THE UNIVERSITY AND OUTLYING AREA.

SLAP MY HAND NOW.

BEG YOUR PARDON?

IN CELEBRATION.

OH.

YES.

OW.

[ Buffy ] HEY!

YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

YEAH.

THEN YOU KNOW I'M PRETTY GOOD WITH THIS THING.

TAKE US TO HIM.

FINN STAYS IN THE BRIG.

HELPING AN H.S.T. ESCAPE IS A COURT-MARTIAL OFFENSE.

YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE.

RILEY TRIED TO HELP OZ ESCAPE?

THAT'S WHO YOU CAME FOR.

THE WOLF.

GUESS WE'RE TWO FOR ONE.

GET DRESSED.

HEY, YOU DROPPED YOUR--

HOW'D YOU GET IN?

TALK LATER. STEALTHY ESCAPE NOW.

BUFFY.

I LEAVE NOW, I CAN'T EVER COME BACK.

I JUST WANTED TO HEAR THAT OUT LOUD.

HOLD IT.

STAY BACK...

OR I'LL PULL A WILLIAM BURROUGHS ON YOUR LEADER HERE.

YOU'LL BORE HIM TO DEATH WITH FREE PROSE?

WAS I THE ONLY ONE AWAKE IN ENGLISH THAT DAY?

I'LL KILL HIM.

GET HIM OUT.

[ Oz ] WILLOW, GET BACK.

[ Buffy ] LET'S GO.

YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, FINN.

NO, SIR.

I'M AN ANARCHIST.

I HOPE EVERYBODY ELSE IS OKAY.

IT WAS BETTER TO SPLIT UP, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WE'RE JUST TOO FINDABLE IN A BIG CLUMP.

IT WAS BETTER.

BESIDES, I THINK IT'S MOSTLY ME

THE INITIATIVE WANTS NOW.

PROBABLY.

SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

WE'LL BE SAFE FOR TONIGHT AT LEAST.

THE CAMPUS IS STILL BLACKED OUT, SO...

THAT OUGHT TO SLOW THE INITIATIVE DOWN.

I'LL FIGURE OUT MY NEXT MOVE TOMORROW.

QUITE A DAY, HUH?

YOU WOKE UP TO A BIG BOWL OF WHEATIES.

NOW YOU'RE A FUGITIVE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SORRY IT ENDED THAT WAY,

BUT I AM GLAD IT'S DONE.

I'M GLAD I KNOW WHERE I STAND.

FINALLY.

I WAS WRONG ABOUT OZ.

I WAS BEING A BIGOT.

NO, YOU WEREN'T.

YOU WERE THROWN.

YOU FOUND OUT THAT WILLOW WAS IN...

KIND OF AN UNCONVENTIONAL RELATIONSHIP,

AND IT GAVE YOU A MOMENTARY WIGGINS.

IT HAPPENS.

STILL...

I WAS IN A TOTALLY BLACK-AND-WHITE SPACE,

PEOPLE VERSUS MONSTERS, AND IT AIN'T LIKE THAT...

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOME STUFF...

ABOUT MY PAST,

AND IT'S NOT ALL STUFF THAT YOU'RE GONNA LIKE.

YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING.

I THINK SO.

I THINK I CAN.

THIS THING LOOKS PRETTY GOOD...

CONSIDERING YOU DROVE IT OVERSEAS.

WELL, IT BROKE DOWN OUTSIDE OF MEXICO,

AND I TRADED MY BASS TO HAVE IT FIXED AND GARAGED.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME BACK NOW.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D CHANGED.

YOU HAVE CHANGED.

YOU STOPPED THE WOLF FROM COMING OUT.

I SAW IT.

BUT I COULDN'T LOOK AT YOU.

I MEAN, IT TURNS OUT...

THE ONE THING THAT BRINGS IT OUT OF ME IS YOU...

WHICH FALLS UNDER THE HEADING OF IRONIC IN MY BOOK.

IT WAS MY FAULT.

I UPSET YOU.

SO WE'RE SAFE THEN,

'CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.

BUT YOU'RE HAPPY?

I AM.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

IT MAY BE SAFER FOR BOTH OF US IF YOU DON'T.

I MISSED YOU, OZ.

I WROTE YOU SO MANY LETTERS...

BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PLACE

TO SEND THEM, YOU KNOW?

I COULDN'T LIVE LIKE THAT.

IT WAS STUPID TO THINK

THAT YOU'D JUST BE... WAITING.

I WAS WAITING.

I FEEL LIKE SOME PART OF ME

WILL ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR YOU.

LIKE IF I'M OLD AND BLUE HAIRED,

AND I TURN THE CORNER IN ISTANBUL,

AND THERE YOU ARE,

I WON'T BE SURPRISED...

BECAUSE YOU'RE WITH ME, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW.

BUT NOW IS NOT THAT TIME, I GUESS.

NO.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I THINK I BETTER TAKE OFF.

WHEN?

PRETTY MUCH NOW.

[ Knock On Door ]

NO CANDLES?

WELL, I BROUGHT ONE.

IT'S EXTRA FLAMEY.

TARA, I HAVE TO TELL YOU...

NO, I-- I UNDERSTAND.

YOU HAVE TO BE WITH THE PERSON YOU L-LOVE.

I AM.

YOU MEAN--

I MEAN.

OKAY?

OH, YES.

I FEEL HORRIBLE ABOUT EVERYTHING I PUT YOU THROUGH,

AND I'M GONNA MAKE IT UP TO YOU,

STARTING RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW?

GRR! ARRGH!
