ALMOST TIME TO WAKE UP, ADAM,

AND TAKE YOUR FIRST LOOK AT THE WORLD.

I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME PROUD. AAH!

PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

ADAM?

SPIKE, I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM.

- THE SLAYER'S GOT PALS. - TAKE THEM AWAY FROM HER.

- THIS ALL GOES DOWN, THE CHIP COMES OUT. - SCOUT'S HONOR.

RILEY HAD A CAREER. HE HAD A FUTURE TILL HE MET YOU,

AND, YEAH, I GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

THANK YOU.

ADAM WAS AT THAT CAVE. MAYBE HE WAS THERE FOR A REASON.

I'LL GO BACK. I'LL SCOPE IT OUT.

YOU NEVER TRAIN WITH ME ANYMORE.

- HE'S GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS. - GILES.

STUPID? SO YOU FINALLY HAD THE GUTS TO SAY IT TO MY FACE.

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN BY "WITCH STUFF?"

YOU GUYS, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

BUFFY, THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG FOR A WHILE.

I'M STARTING TO UNDERSTAND

WHY THERE'S NO ANCIENT PROPHECY ABOUT A CHOSEN ONE...

AND HER FRIENDS.

IF I NEED HELP, I'LL GO TO SOMEONE I CAN COUNT ON.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.

AND NOW I'M HERE.

RILEY?

RILEY.

YOUR THOUGHTS ARE TROUBLED.

IN TURMOIL.

I UNDERSTAND, BROTHER.

WE HAVE A LOT TO DISCUSS.

SPEAK.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

NOTHING.

IT WAS MOTHER. YOUR PROFESSOR WALSH.

SHE IMPLANTED THE BEHAVIOR MODIFIER.

A CHIP IN MY HEAD. SHE REALLY DID IT.

ACTUALLY, THE CHIP IS HERE.

TIED DIRECTLY INTO YOUR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

THROUGH THE THORACIC NERVE.

THIS IS PHASE ONE OF YOUR PREPARATION.

IT LAY DORMANT UNTIL THE TIME CAME.

I SIMPLY ACTIVATED IT, BROTHER.

STOP CALLING ME THAT. I'M NOT YOUR BROTHER.

YOU'RE A BOTCHED SCIENCE EXPERIMENT.

I'M A HUMAN BEING WHO'S GONNA DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO--

SIT.

YOU HAVE NO POWER.

NOT YET.

ONCE YOU FORGET YOUR OLD LIFE

AND EMBRACE YOUR DESTINY AS I HAVE,

YOU WILL KNOW POWER YOU'VE NEVER DREAMED OF.

I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT.

DEMONS CLING TO OLD WAYS AND ANCIENT FEUDS.

AND THEY'RE HOPELESS WITH TECHNOLOGY. UNWORTHY.

NOT REALLY WANTING A LECTURE RIGHT NOW.

DISAPPOINTED BY DEMON-KIND, WE TURNED TO HUMANS.

SMART, ADAPTIVE, BUT EMOTIONAL AND WEAK.

BLIND. THERE'S IMPERFECTION EVERYWHERE.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. WHO WILL DELIVER US?

MOTHER. SHE SAW OUR FUTURE, YOURS AND MINE.

SHE SAW THAT YOU WERE NECESSARY.

SHE SAW THE ROLE THAT YOU WILL PLAY BY MY SIDE.

STAND UP.

YOU SEE, WE ARE BROTHERS, AFTER ALL.

WARMS THE COCKLES OF MY NON-BEATING HEART

SEEING YOU LADS TOGETHER.

I DIDN'T SEND FOR YOU, SPIKE.

YEAH, WELL, I'M NOT MUCH THE BEING-SENT-FOR TYPE.

I'M MUCH MORE THE "I DID MY PART, NOW GET THIS CHIP OUT OF MY HEAD" KIND OF GUY.

SLIGHTLY STIFFER THAN USUAL.

SUBTLE, BUT I LIKE IT.

WHAT'S WITH HIM?

I ACTIVATED HIS CHIP.

OH, SO IT'S CHIPS ALL AROUND, IS IT?

SOMEONE MUST'VE BOUGHT THE PARTY-PAK.

YOU GET YOURS REMOVED WHEN THE SLAYER IS WHERE I WANT HER.

SHE'S SEPARATED FROM HER FRIENDS.

THEY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HER.

SHE'S ALL ALONE.

THAT'S HOW I WANT HER.

WHERE I WANT HER IS DOWN IN THE INITIATIVE.

SHE WILL ENSURE THAT AS MANY DEMONS DIE AS HUMANS.

SHE WILL ACHIEVE MAXIMUM CARNAGE

BEFORE SHE'S TOO WEAK TO GO ON.

NO. YOU CAN'T--

STOP TALKING.

RIGHT. THE INITIATIVE.

BUT GETTING HER THERE-- THAT'S WHAT THE BLEEDING DISKS ARE FOR, ISN'T IT?

OUR LITTLE WITCH GIVES HER THE INFO AND POP--

ALICE HEADS BACK DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE.

THE WITCH.

UH, WILLOW.

ABOUT SO HIGH, PERKY, GOOD WITH MATH.

NATURAL CHOICE.

HER FRIEND.

RIGHT.

ONE OF THE FRIENDS

FROM WHOM YOU'VE SO EFFICIENTLY SEPARATED HER.

DAMN RIGHT I DID. YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN 'EM.

THEY WON'T BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER FOR A LONG, LONG--

HANG ON. I THINK I MIGHT'VE DETECTED A SMALL FLAW.

SO YOU FAILED.

WELL, HEY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SO SMART.

YOU LET ME PLAN THIS THING.

OKAY, LET'S NOT QUIBBLE ABOUT WHO FAILED WHO.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS MAKING SURE THE SLAYER--

GO. GONE.

SO, UM, WE'LL DO THIS CHIP THING WHEN I GET BACK.

[ Knock On Door ]

OH...

HEY.

HELLO.

UM, OH, UH, PARDON THE ROBE. IT'S A BIT OF A LATE START.

RIGHT.

HOPE YOU'RE FEELING ALL RIGHT, MR. GILES.

OH, YES, QUITE WELL, THANK YOU.

YES, I'LL PROBABLY HAVE A BRISK JOG LATER ON.

DID YOU WANT SOMETHING?

I FORGOT MY LAPTOP AND THE DISKS.

UH, YES. PLEASE, PLEASE, COME IN.

UH, WILL YOU BE WORKING HERE, YOU KNOW, TYPING, TALKING?

BECAUSE THAT WILL BE FINE.

NO, THAT'S OKAY.

GOT 'EM. SO...SEE YA.

RIGHT. YES, WELL, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

OKAY.

BYE.

BYE.

BYE.

[ Footsteps Approaching ] XANDER.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO CHECK THE BOARD

AT THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE THIS MORNING.

YOU CAN'T GO LIKE THAT.

THEY WON'T EVEN INTERVIEW YOU IF YOU'RE NAKED.

I'M NOT GOING. THERE'S NEVER ANYTHING GOOD.

[ Sighs ]

MAYBE I SHOULD JOIN THE ARMY.

DON'T THEY MAKE YOU GET UP REALLY EARLY IN THE MORNING?

OH, YEAH.

NEVER MIND.

ARE YOU STILL UPSET ABOUT THAT FIGHT YOU HAD WITH YOUR FRIENDS?

IT WAS HOURS AGO. GET OVER IT.

ANYA, YOU--

FORGET IT.

SO THEY ALL THINK YOU'RE A LOST, DIRECTIONLESS LOSER

WITH NO PLANS FOR HIS FUTURE. PFFT.

ANYA, YOU CAN'T PFFT THAT STUFF AWAY.

WHY NOT?

I DON'T KNOW.

'CAUSE I THINK MAYBE THEY'RE RIGHT.

SO WHAT IF THEY ARE?

YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON AND A GOOD BOYFRIEND AND--

AND I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.

WHATEVER THEY THINK OF YOU, IT SHOULDN'T MATTER.

YEAH.

YEAH, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

[ Debris Falling ]

ADAM.

WHERE ARE YOU?

THIS IS WHERE IT WILL ALL HAPPEN.

WHERE THE NEW RACE BEGINS.

WHERE ARE WE?

IN THE INITIATIVE.

THERE ARE AREAS NO ONE KNEW ABOUT

BEYOND THOSE THAT NEEDED TO.

MOTHER KEPT HER SECRETS WELL.

DIDN'T YOU?

[ Riley ] PROFESSOR WALSH?

THIS IS ALL HOW SHE PLANNED IT,

EXCEPT SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE ALIVE.

ARE YOU--

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO TO ME?

THEY'RE JUST WORKERS.

YOU KNOW YOUR DESTINY IS MUCH GREATER.

FORREST.

OH, GOD.

GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

EASY, SHERIFF.

WATCH WHERE YOU POINT THAT THING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

LOOKING FOR A LITTLE WEEKEND GETAWAY PLACE.

SHOVE OFF.

ADAM'S BEEN USING THESE CAVES.

WHAT?

I FOUND HIS LAIR.

OH, CRIPES, THAT'S ALL I NEED,

RUNNING INTO THAT GOON.

YEAH, WELL, ADAM'S CLEARED OUT OF HERE,

SO WHATEVER HE'S PLANNING IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN.

LOOK AT LITTLE NANCY DREW.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE DISKS I NABBED?

THEY OUGHT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WILLOW HAS THE DISKS.

WELL, I'D GET ON THAT.

CAN'T IGNORE VALUABLE INFORMATION

JUST 'CAUSE YOU TWO BIRDS FELL OUT NOW, CAN YOU?

RIGHT.

WELL, YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT. NO WORRY OF MINE NOW, IS IT?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD REST, CLEAR YOUR HEAD.

CAN'T. NOT NOW. I THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING.

I'VE BEEN ASSUMING THAT THE CIPHERTEXT

WAS ENCRYPTED WITH AN ASYMMETRIC ALGORITHM.

THEN IT HIT ME. A HEXAGONIC KEY PATTERN--

HEY, LOOK. YOU DID IT.

I DIDN'T.

I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED TYPING IN THE NEW CODE.

SOMETHING'S DOING IT.

MUST BE PROGRAMMED TO SELF-DECRYPT AT A CERTAIN POINT.

THAT IS SO ANNOYING.

IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY BLURTING OUT THE ANSWER TO A RIDDLE JUST WHEN YOU'VE--

I MEAN, YIPPEE! WE HAVE THE INFORMATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF "YIPPEE" IS THE RIGHT RESPONSE EITHER.

READ THAT.

[ Telephone Rings ]

HELLO. YEAH, SHE'S RIGHT--

I MEAN, LET ME CHECK.

IT'S BUFFY.

PROFESSOR WALSH.

PROFESSOR WALSH, IT'S RILEY FINN.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

SHE'S DEAD. ARTIFICIALLY REANIMATED

WITH BASIC TO MODERATE BRAIN ACTIVITY.

MOMMY CAN HEAR YOU, BUT SHE'S STILL A WALKING CORPSE.

SO ARE YOU.

MM-MMM. GOT THAT WRONG.

I'M SURGING WITH LIFE

AND STRENGTH--

ADAM MADE ME TO BE NEARLY AS BAD AS HE IS.

REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING OUT YOUR GIRL AGAIN.

I'M SORRY, FORREST.

DON'T BE. THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.

I'M FREE OF ALL MY WEAKNESSES, MY DOUBTS.

HE'S GONNA FIX YOU UP, TOO,

SOON AS WE GOT SOME CHOICE PARTS.

THEN YOU AND ME'LL BE BACK ON THE SAME SIDE,

MOVING TOWARD A NEW FUTURE.

I'LL NEVER LET THAT HAPPEN.

YOU DON'T GET IT, BROTHER. YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

YOUR WILL BELONGS TO US NOW.

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT OF THAT CHAIR AND WALK OUT OF HERE?

YOU CAN'T CONTROL MY--

RILEY, BE A GOOD BOY.

WHERE'S ANYA?

ODDLY, ANYA DECIDED NOT TO JOIN US

DESPITE ALL THE FUN WE HAD AT OUR LAST MEETING.

AND I DON'T THINK TARA FELT WELCOME.

WHY? BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SAID?

WIL, WHO TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE TALKING BEHIND YOUR BACK, SPECIFICALLY?

WELL, I...

SPIKE, SPECIFICALLY, BUT--

AND WHO TOLD YOU THAT WE THOUGHT YOU'D BE BETTER OFF JOINING THE ARMY?

THAT'S NOT...EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.

WELL, UH, SPIKE CAN BE VERY CONVINCING

WHEN-WHEN-WHEN, UH...

I'M VERY STUPID.

HE PLAYED US.

HE WANTED US TO FIGHT TO SPLIT US UP.

THAT'S WHERE IT CAME FROM,

THE STUFF WE SAID THE OTHER NIGHT.

OF COURSE. WELL, PIFFLE. LET'S MOVE ON.

I'M MOVING.

ME TOO.

GOOD.

GREAT.

SO WHY DO YOU THINK SPIKE MADE WITH THE HEAD GAMES?

HE'S ALL DRESSED UP WITH NO ONE TO BITE.

HE'S GOTTA GET HIS YAYAS SOMEHOW.

I THINK IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.

I THINK IT WAS ADAM.

SPIKE'S WORKING FOR ADAM?!

AFTER ALL WE'VE DONE-- NAH, I CAN'T EVEN ACT SURPRISED.

I JUST WENT TO ADAM'S LAIR, AND HE WAS GONE,

BUT SPIKE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.

HE MADE THIS BIG NOISE ABOUT GETTING INFORMATION OFF THOSE ENCRYPTED DISKS.

OH, I DECRYPTED THEM.

WELL, THEY DECRYPTED THEMSELVES,

BUT I ALMOST HAD IT.

WHAT DID THEY SAY?

BUNCH OF STUFF WE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT 314,

BUT IT ALSO SAID THERE'S SOME FINAL PHASE

WHERE ADAM MANUFACTURES

A BUNCH OF CREEPY CYBER-DEMONOIDS LIKE HIM.

THERE'S A SPECIAL LAB IN THE INITIATIVE,

BUT IT DIDN'T SAY WHERE.

ADAM FED SPIKE THOSE DISKS. IT HAS TO BE.

HE WANTED ME TO KNOW ABOUT HIS EVIL-GUY ASSEMBLY LINE.

THIS LAB, IT'S IN THE INITIATIVE?

HIDDEN SOMEWHERE.

GIVE THE DEMON HIS DUE. HE THOUGHT THIS ONE OUT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW HOW OVERCROWDED THE CONTAINMENT CELLS HAVE BEEN AT THE INITIATIVE?

THOSE DEMONS WERE JUST TOO EASY TO CATCH.

IT'S LIKE THEY WANTED IN THAT PLACE.

THE TROJAN HORSE.

ADAM'S GONNA MAKE SURE THE DEMONS ATTACK THE INITIATIVE FROM THE INSIDE.

DEMONS VERSUS SOLDIERS. MASSACRE, MASSACRE.

AND ADAM HAS A NEAT PILE OF BODY PARTS TO START ASSEMBLING HIS ARMY.

DIABOLICAL YET...GROSS.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE MISS THE MAYOR--

"I JUST WANNA BE A BIG SNAKE"?

I'VE GOT TO SHUT HIM DOWN, GILES.

HIS FINAL PHASE IS ABOUT TO START.

WE NEED TO WARN THE INITIATIVE.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA LISTEN TO ME.

RILEY?

HE'S A DESERTER.

HE GOT SOME BAD NEWS, ANYWAY,

AND KIND OF TOOK OFF.

OKAY, I'M CONFUSED AGAIN.

ADAM HAS THIS EVIL PLAN.

WHY IS HE SO ANXIOUS FOR YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT?

HE WANTS ME THERE.

PROBABLY FIGURES I'LL EVEN THE KILL RATIO.

HE'S NOT WORRIED YOU MIGHT KILL,

OH, SAY, HIM?

NO, HE'S REALLY NOT.

SHE'S COMING.

I CAN FEEL IT.

GOOD ON YOU.

GOT A CHUNK OF PROGNOSTICATING DEMON IN THERE, EH?

NOW, IF YOU'LL JUST GET THIS CHIP OUT OF MY CRANIUM,

I'LL BE OUT OF YOUR WAY.

AND MIND THE HAIRLINE.

I DON'T FANCY FUSSING WITH A COMB-OVER

ONCE I RESUME MY KILLING WAYS.

COME ON. WE HAD A DEAL.

WHEN SHE'S HERE.

[ Sighs ]

THERE'S CERTAINLY NO LACK OF SUPPLIES.

ONLY WISH I KNEW WHICH ONES WOULD KILL ADAM.

ACCORDING TO RILEY, HIS POWER SOURCE IS A URANIUM CORE

EMBEDDED SOMEWHERE INSIDE HIS CHEST--

PROBABLY NEAR THE SPINE?

GREAT. SO WE JUST ASK HIM TO LIE DOWN QUIETLY

WHILE WE DO SOME EXPLORATORY SURGERY.

WHAT ABOUT MAGIC?

SOME KIND OF, I DON'T KNOW,

URANIUM-EXTRACTING SPELL?

I KNOW. I'M REACHING.

PERHAPS A PARALYZING SPELL.

ONLY I CAN'T PERFORM THE INCANTATION OF THIS.

RIGHT. DON'T YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IT IN SUMERIAN OR SOMETHING?

I DO SPEAK SUMERIAN. IT'S NOT THAT.

ONLY AN EXPERIENCED WITCH CAN INCANT IT,

AND YOU'D HAVE TO BE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF THE SUBJECT.

SEE WHAT YOU GET FOR TAKING FRENCH INSTEAD OF SUMERIAN?

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

SO NO PROBLEM. ALL WE NEED IS COMBO BUFFY--

HER WITH SLAYER STRENGTH, GILES'S MULTILINGUAL KNOW-HOW,

AND WILLOW'S WITCHY POWER.

YEAH, DON'T TELL ME.

I'M JUST FULL OF HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, YOU ARE.

NERVOUS?

NO WAY.

I'M FULL OF THAT GOOD OLD KAMIKAZE SPIRIT.

XANDER, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS NEVER GONNA WORK

IS NO NEED TO BE NEGATIVE.

[ Willow ] THE ENJOINING SPELL ISN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DEFEAT ADAM?

[ Giles ] IT'S VERY POWERFUL.

IT'S ALSO EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS.

GAME FACES, GUYS. WE'RE GOING IN.

HOW YOU DOING?

SUPER. WHAT WAS I THINKING USING STAIRS ALL THIS TIME?

OKAY.

WIL--

NO, REALLY, BUFFY.

IT'S NOT AS SCARY AS I THOUGHT.

NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.

I JUST...

I'M SORRY.

I HATE THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN SO STRAINED BETWEEN ALL OF US.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. SPIKE STIRRED UP TROUBLE.

YEAH, BUT I THINK TROUBLE WAS STIR-UPABLE.

I THINK WE'VE ALL SORT OF DRIFTED APART THIS YEAR, DON'T YOU?

MAYBE A LITTLE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE,

IT'S HARD TO KEEP THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL GANG TOGETHER.

BUT I WANT IT TOGETHER. WIL, I MISS YOU.

AND GILES AND XANDER. AND IT IS MY FAULT.

I'VE BEEN SO WRAPPED UP IN MY OWN STUFF,

I'VE BEEN A BAD FRIEND.

YOU'RE THE SLAYER, BUFFY. YOUR STUFF IS PRETTY CRUCIAL.

I MEAN RILEY AND... RILEY, MOSTLY.

I HAVEN'T BEEN MISS AVAILABLE, EITHER.

I KEPT SECRETS.

I HID THINGS FROM EVERYONE.

THAT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

WIL, YOU WERE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING HUGE.

I WANTED TO TELL YOU, BUT I WAS SO SCARED.

YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING.

I LOVE YOU.

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND.

ME, TOO. I LOVE YOU, TOO.

FALLING NOW.

LET'S PROMISE TO NEVER NOT TALK AGAIN.

I PROMISE, I PROMISE.

XANDER.

OH, WONDERFUL XANDER.

YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU, RIGHT?

WE TOTALLY DO.

OH, GOD. WE'RE GONNA DIE, AREN'T WE?

NO. WE JUST MISSED YOU.

GILES, HURRY UP.

YOU DEFINITELY WANNA GET DOWN HERE FOR THIS.

OKAY, WE STICK TOGETHER, AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE.

EVERYBODY READY?

LET'S...

DO THIS.

[ Spike ] IT'S MUST-SEE TV.

BAIT'S BEEN TAKEN. TRAP'S ALL SET.

SLAYER HAS LANDED.

SO, ONE CHIPERECTOMY, PLEASE.

HELLO. PAGING DR. OWE ME ONE.

SHE'S NOT ALONE.

YOU FAILED ME AGAIN.

WELL, THAT'S ONE WAY OF LOOKING AT IT.

WHAT'S THE OTHER WAY?

GOH! COME ON. IT'S NOT LIKE I WASN'T TRYING.

THAT'S WORTH SOMETHING, ISN'T IT?

I SUPPOSE.

YES, I WILL HONOR OUR AGREEMENT AND REMOVE YOUR CHIP.

TAKE HIS HEAD OFF.

LET HIM GO.

THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN.

COLONEL-- SHUT UP.

YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE, LADY.

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO US.

YOU THINK YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS

CAN JUST KEEP WALTZING INTO A GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION

BRANDISHING WEAPONS LIKE--

LIKE...

IT'S A GOURD.

MAGIC GOURD.

WHAT KIND OF FREAKS ARE YOU PEOPLE?

ADAM IS HERE, COLONEL. IN THE INITIATIVE.

NICE TRY.

THOSE OVERCROWDED CONTAINMENT CELLS OF YOURS--

COURTESY OF ADAM. HE'S PULLING A TROJAN HORSE ON YOU. HE'S JUST WAITING--

EVERY INCH OF THIS INSTALLATION

IS UNDER CONSTANT 24-HOUR SURVEILLANCE.

INCLUDING THE SECRET LAB?

INCLUDING EVERYTHING!

WHAT SECRET LAB?

THE ONE ADAM'S BEEN USING.

THE ONE BUILT FOR THE FINAL STAGE OF THE 314 PROJECT.

AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON AROUND HERE.

A TICK ON A MOUSE COULDN'T GET IN

WITHOUT MY KNOWING IT.

AND IF ADAM WANTS TO TRY, WE'RE READY FOR HIM.

JOLLY GOOD. HOW EXACTLY DO YOU PLAN TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO ADAM

TO REMOVE HIS POWER SOURCE?

HIT HIM SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH MULTIPLE TASER BLASTERS.

INCAPACITATE HIM WITH AS MUCH VOLTAGE AS WE CAN MUSTER.

GREAT PLAN. THAT'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH "DUCK AND COVER."

I'VE SEEN ADAM HIT WITH TASER BLASTS.

HE FEEDS ON IT.

AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA PROVIDE HIM WITH AN ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET?

YOU TELLING ME MY BUSINESS?

THIS IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS. IT'S MINE.

YOU, THE INITIATIVE, THE BOYS AT THE PENTAGON--

YOU'RE ALL IN WAY OVER YOUR HEADS,

MESSING WITH PRIMEVAL FORCES

YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COMPREHENSION OF.

AND YOU DO?

I'M THE SLAYER.

YOU'RE PLAYING ON MY TURF.

UP THERE, MAYBE. BUT DOWN HERE,

I'M THE ONE WHO'S IN CONTROL.

SIR, THE POWER GRID'S DOWN. BACKUP'S NOT RESPONDING.

WE'RE LOCKED IN.

THIS WILL BE INTERESTING.

[ Alarm Blaring ]

WHAT'S GOING ON? I DON'T KNOW.

GO!

THE CONTAINMENT AREA'S BEEN BREACHED.

HOSTILES ARE LOOSE.

HOW MANY?

ALL OF 'EM, SIR.

[ Buffy ] IT'S ADAM.

I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN STOP HIM NOW.

JUST LET ME HANDLE THIS. GET YOUR PEOPLE OUT OF HERE.

YOU MEN FOLLOW ME. WE GOTTA TAKE THE ARMORY NOW.

COLONEL--

THESE PEOPLE ARE UNDER ARREST. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, SIR.

WE'VE GOTTA FIND ADAM.

ON IT.

[ Giles ] THE ENJOINING SPELL IS EXTREMELY TOUCHY.

IT'S VOLATILE. WE CAN'T RISK IT BEING INTERRUPTED.

WE NEED A PLACE THAT'S CLOSE TO YOU AND QUIET.

UH-- QUIET?

HOW WE DOING, WIL?

DONE. HOLD ON.

ACCORDING TO THIS,

THERE'S AIR DUCTS AND ELECTRICAL CONDUITS

ALL RUNNING INTO THERE.

SO?

SO THERE'S NO THERE THERE.

LOOK.

IT'S ADAM.

ARE YOU SURE?

RIGHT BEHIND 314.

CAN YOU UNLOCK IT?

I DON'T HAVE TO.

ALL THE LOCKS IN THE INITIATIVE HAVE BEEN DISENGAGED,

EXCEPT FOR THE EXITS.

DEMON OPEN HOUSE.

GREAT. SO WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO 314.

NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET THERE.

WILLOW, DOWN!

COME ON.

OKAY, IT SHOULD BE OVER HERE.

ONCE I'M IN, BARRICADE THE DOOR BEHIND ME.

IS THIS PLACE OKAY TO BE MAGIC CENTRAL?

IT SHOULD DO.

AS LONG AS WE DON'T GET BLOWED UP OR NOTHIN'.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT?

HOW LONG BEFORE THE RITUAL KICKS IN?

FIVE MINUTES, GIVE OR TAKE.

I'LL MOVE FAST, THEN.

BUFFY, I STILL DON'T LIKE YOU GOING IN ALONE.

I WON'T BE.

RILEY.

ARE YOU HURT?

SAY SOMETHING.

WHAT IS THIS?

WHY WON'T YOU TALK TO ME?

HE CAN'T.

HE'S NOT PROGRAMMED TO.

HE'S PART OF THE FINAL PHASE NOW,

AS YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE.

SORRY, I DON'T JUMP THROUGH HOOPS ON COMMAND.

I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN ONE TO TOE THE LINE.

OH.

KILL HER.

I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK.

[ Buffy Struggles ]

[ Willow ] THE POWER OF THE SLAYER AND ALL WHO WIELD IT.

LAST TO ANCIENT, FIRST, WE INVOKE THEE.

GRANT US THY DOMAIN AND PRIMAL STRENGTH.

ACCEPT US AND THE POWERS WE POSSESS.

MAKE US MIND AND HEART AND SPIRIT JOINED.

LET THE HAND ENCOMPASS US. DO THY WILL.

BUFFY.

SHUT UP AND WATCH ME KILL YOUR GIRLFRIEND, FINN.

THAT'S AN ORDER.

[ Fighting Noises ]

SPIRITUS...SPIRIT.

ANIMUS...HEART.

SOPHUS...MIND.

AND MANUS...THE HAND.

WE ENJOIN THAT WE MAY INHABIT THE VESSEL--

THE HAND, DAUGHTER OF SINEYA, FIRST OF THE ONES.

IS THAT IT? THAT ALL YOU GOT?

NO! SHE'S GOT ME.

LOOK WHO'S COME OFF THE BENCH.

I NEED TO GET TO ADAM, LIKE NOW. ARE YOU ABLE?

GO.

FALL BACK! FALL BACK!

PROTECT THE FLANK. LOCK DOWN THAT PIT.

FUN, ISN'T IT?

I DO APPRECIATE VIOLENCE.

GOOD.

BROKE YOUR ARM.

GOT ANOTHER.

I'VE BEEN UPGRADING.

WE IMPLORE THEE, ADMIT US. BRING US TO THE VESSEL.

TAKE US NOW.

YOU CAN'T LAST MUCH LONGER.

[ Voices Merged ] WE CAN.

WE ARE FOREVER.

[ Speaking Sumerian ]

INTERESTING.

[ Continues Speaking Sumerian ]

VERY...INTERESTING.

WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME DO THIS FOR?

NOT THAT I'M NOT ENJOYING MYSELF.

BUT ADAM'S NOT GONNA LIKE IT IF--

HOW...CAN YOU--

YOU COULD NEVER HOPE TO GRASP THE SOURCE OF OUR POWER.

BUT YOURS IS RIGHT HERE.

BUFFY.

[ Voices Chanting in Sumerian ]

WOW. THAT WAS--

NASTY SORT OF FELLOW.

LUCKY FOR YOU BLIGHTERS I WAS HERE, EH?

YES. THANK YOU.

ALTHOUGH YOUR HEROISM IS SLIGHTLY MUTED BY THE FACT

THAT YOU WERE HELPING ADAM TO START A WAR THAT WOULD KILL US ALL.

YOU PROBABLY JUST SAVED US SO WE WOULDN'T STAKE YOU RIGHT HERE.

WELL, YEAH.

DID IT WORK?

WELL, THEN EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT,

AND WE ALL GET TO BE NOT STAKED THROUGH THE HEART. GOOD WORK, TEAM.

BUFFY.

WASN'T IT AMAZING?

YOU WERE GREAT.

WE WERE GREAT.

WE STILL GOT MEN OUT THERE.

THEN LET'S GO SAVE 'EM, BY GUM.

YOU GUYS GET TO THE EXITS, GET 'EM OPEN.

YOU, ORGANIZE THE SOLDIERS, PULL 'EM BACK.

I'LL TAKE POINT.

[ Willow ] ARE YOU UP TO THIS?

I AM.

IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT.

THE INITIATIVE REPRESENTED THE GOVERNMENT'S INTEREST

IN NOT ONLY CONTROLLING THE OTHERWORLDLY MENACE,

BUT IN HARNESSING ITS POWER FOR OUR OWN MILITARY PURPOSES.

THE CONSIDERED OPINION OF THIS COUNCIL

IS THAT THE EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED.

ONCE THE PROTOTYPE TOOK CONTROL OF THE COMPLEX,

OUR SOLDIERS SUFFERED A 40% CASUALTY RATE.

AND IT SEEMS THAT IT WAS ONLY THROUGH THE ACTIONS OF A DESERTER

AND A GROUP OF CIVILIAN INSURRECTIONISTS

THAT OUR LOSSES WERE NOT TOTAL.

I TRUST THE IRONY OF THAT IS NOT LOST ON ANY OF US.

MAGGIE WALSH'S VISION WAS BRILLIANT,

BUT ULTIMATELY INSUPPORTABLE.

THE DEMONS CANNOT BE HARNESSED,

CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.

IT IS THEREFORE OUR RECOMMENDATION THAT THIS PROJECT BE TERMINATED

AND ALL RECORDS CONCERNING IT EXPUNGED.

OUR SOLDIERS WILL BE DEBRIEFED.

STANDARD CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSE.

WE WILL MONITOR THE CIVILIANS

IN THE USUAL MEASURES PREPARED SHOULD THEY TRY TO GO PUBLIC.

I DON'T THINK THEY WILL.

THE INITIATIVE ITSELF WILL BE FILLED IN WITH CONCRETE.

BURN IT DOWN, GENTLEMEN.

BURN IT DOWN AND SALT THE EARTH.

GRR! ARRGH!
