PREVIOUSLY ON ANGEL AND BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.

THIS IS PERHAPS FAITH.

- NEW WATCHER? - [ Together ] NEW WATCHER.

[ Groans ]

- YOU KILLED A MAN. - I DON'T CARE.

[ Angel ] YOU CAN'T IMAGINE THE PRICE FOR TRUE EVIL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DISAPPEAR INTO THE DARKNESS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW.

[ Faith ] YOU TOOK MY LIFE, B. PAYBACK'S A BITCH.

THE WATCHERS COUNCIL SENT A RETRIEVAL TEAM TO CAPTURE FAITH.

A SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT. THEY HANDLE ALL THE COUNCIL'S TRICKIER JOBS.

[ Collins ] THEY'VE ORDERED THE KILL.

[ Giles ] WE HAVE A ROGUE SLAYER ON OUR HANDS.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE DANGEROUS.

[ Faith ] WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL?

- HIS NAME'S ANGEL. - NO PROBLEM.

I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD.

[ Groans ] HOW DO YOU LOOK NOW?

THIS IS GONNA BE FUN.

IF YOU'D BEEN A BETTER WATCHER,

I MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MORE POSITIVE ROLE MODEL.

AAAH!

I'M BAD! I'M BAD! I'M EVIL!

PLEASE, JUST KILL ME.

[ Sobbing ] JUST KILL ME.

JUST KILL ME.

FAITH.

COME ON.

IT'S OK.

REST HERE.

YOU REST NOW.

I'LL PUT YOUR STUFF HERE.

I'LL BE CLOSE.

ANGEL.

YEAH?

NOTHING.

BITCH.

NOT YOU, OBVIOUSLY.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM

THAT I ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.

[SIGHS] UH...

I BELIEVE IT WAS FAITH WHO ALLOWED HER ELBOW

TO COLLIDE WITH MY FACE.

NOT YOUR FAULT.

AT LEAST YOU ONLY GOT THE ELBOW.

WELL, IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,

IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE YOU WERE TORTURED BY A MUCH LARGER WOMAN.

SHE'S STILL HERE, I ASSUME.

HE GAVE HER HIS BED.

WESLEY.

ANGEL.

DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU IN TODAY.

HOW YOU FEELING?

AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED.

GOOD.

GOOD.

DOUGHNUTS?

DEVELOPED A SWEET FANG, HAVE YOU?

YOU GET JELLY?

WHOLE SELECTION.

WON'T SHE FIND IT DIFFICULT

ENJOYING DELICIOUS JELLY-FILLED DONUTS

IF SHE IS, ONE ASSUMES, BOUND AND GAGGED?

WESLEY, WE WENT THROUGH ALL THIS LAST NIGHT.

YES, YOU WERE RIGHT.

THE POLICE WOULD BE ILL-EQUIPPED

TO HOLD A SLAYER AGAINST HER WILL.

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CHOSE NOT TO TURN HER OVER TO THEM.

I DO NOT, HOWEVER, UNDERSTAND WHY THE WOMAN

WHO BRUTALLY TORTURED ME LAST NIGHT

THIS MORNING GETS PASTRIES.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE DOWNSTAIRS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, WESLEY,

LET HER STARVE?

CERTAINLY NOT.

THERE ARE FAR MORE HUMANE WAYS TO DEAL WITH A RABID ANIMAL.

- SHE'S NOT AN ANIMAL. SHE'S A PERSON. - NO?

IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, WE'RE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF GIVING UP ON PEOPLE.

DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND WITH ME

AFTER WHAT SHE DID.

I BELIEVE IN HELPING PEOPLE.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN CODDLING MURDERERS.

IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO THAT YOU WERE THE ONE

MAKING THE CASE FOR HER REHABILITATION.

IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO I HAD FULL FEELING IN MY RIGHT ARM!

SHE WANTS TO CHANGE.

THERE IS EVIL IN THAT GIRL, ANGEL.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE WANTS OR SAYS SHE WANTS.

YOU SET HER FREE,

SHE'LL KILL AGAIN.

HE'LL COME AROUND.

WESLEY?

SURE.

PEOPLE ALWAYS GET A LITTLE FUNNY

RIGHT AFTER THEY'VE BEEN SADISTICALLY TORTURED.

WELL, YOU'D KNOW.

I NEED YOU TO SIGN THESE.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE TO HELP FAITH, DON'T YOU?

TOTALLY. AND HERE.

WE CAN'T JUST ARBITRARILY DECIDE

WHOSE SOUL IS WORTH SAVING AND WHOSE ISN'T.

OH, I KNOW, AND THIS ONE.

[SIGHS]

THANKS.

THOSE WERE ALL MADE OUT TO YOU.

YEAH!

"PAID VACATION"?

LIKE I'M GONNA STICK AROUND HERE

WHILE PSYCHO CASE IS ROAMING LOOSE DOWNSTAIRS

WITH 3 TONS OF MEDIEVAL WEAPONRY?

NOT!

OH, AND I'M THINKING...

SUGAR HIGH-- MAYBE NOT A GREAT IDEA.

SEE IF THE NEIGHBORS HEARD ANYTHING.

[SIGHS]

KATE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M A DETECTIVE, KENDRICK.

SEE?

I'M DETECTING.

HEARD WE HAVE A FUGITIVE.

YEAH.

FELONY ARREST WARRANT FROM A PLACE UP NORTH CALLED SUNNYDALE.

I'VE SEEN IT.

SO DO WE THINK SHE'S THE ONE WHO THREW THE PARTY HERE?

GUY THAT LIVES HERE IDENTIFIES HER AS THE WOMAN WHO MUGGED HIM.

PUT HIM IN THE HOSPITAL, STOLE HIS KEYS, HIS WALLET.

WE'RE LIFTING PRINTS NOW.

MY BET IS WE GET A MATCH.

ANYTHING ELSE?

THAT'S IT. YOU MIND TELLING ME

WHY YOU'RE HERE EXAMINING A CRIME SCENE ON A CASE THAT WASN'T ASSIGNED TO YOU?

IT LOOKED INTERESTING.

RIGHT.

YOU'VE HEARD THE RUMORS, HAVEN'T YOU?

WHAT RUMORS? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THIS GIRL SUPPOSEDLY HAS SOME KIND OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS.

REALLY?

OH, COME ON, KATE.

EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU'VE GONE ALL SCULLY.

ANYTIME ONE OF THESE WEIRD CASES CROSSES ANYONE'S DESK,

YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

SCULLY'S THE SKEPTIC.

HUH?

MULDER'S THE BELIEVER. SCULLY'S THE SKEPTIC.

SCULLY'S THE CHICK, RIGHT?

YES.

BUT SHE'S NOT THE ONE THAT WANTS TO BELIEVE.

AND YOU WANNA BELIEVE?

OH, I ALREADY BELIEVE.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

FAITH?

FAITH.

I HAVE DOUGHNUTS.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH,

AND I WANT TO HELP...

BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO. FIRST...

I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME THAT KNIFE.

YOU SHOULD BE RESTING.

I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR 8 MONTHS.

YOU REST.

WE FOUND HER.

WHERE?

SHE'S WITH HIM.

IS HE DEAD?

WELL, HE IS A VAMPIRE,

SO TECHNICALLY, YES, HE IS DEAD.

BUT NOT BY HER HAND.

- SHE IS HIS HOUSEGUEST. - WHAT?

THAT'S RIGHT. THE REASON OUR LITTLE ASSASSIN

HASN'T MADE GOOD ON HER CONTRACT

IS BECAUSE SHE'S ROOMING WITH THE MARK.

WE HIRED HER TO KILL HIM.

I BELIEVE I COVERED THAT WITH THE "ASSASSIN" PART.

AND HE ENDS UP INVITING HER TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

I TOLD YOU HE WOULDN'T BE EASY.

HE CAN'T BE BOUGHT,

AND APPARENTLY HE CAN'T BE KILLED,

EVEN BY A VAMPIRE SLAYER.

RUMOR HAS IT HE USED TO ACTUALLY DATE ONE.

WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THIS?

NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM.

NOT YET, ANYWAY.

WHEN WORD GETS BACK TO THE SENIOR PARTNERS,

THIS WON'T GO WELL.

WE CONSPIRED WITH HER,

PAID HER HALF UP FRONT,

AND NOW SHE MAKES US LOOK LIKE FOOLS.

SO...

QUESTION IS,

HOW ARE WE GONNA FIX IT?

I SAY WE KILL HER.

Buffy: FAITH, NO!

Buffy: YOU KILLED A MAN.

I DON'T CARE.

FAITH.

YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION TO LEAVE HERE.

YOU GO OUT THAT DOOR NOW, YOU'LL BE RUNNING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

MY BET IS, IT'LL BE A PRETTY SHORT RUN.

DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOES MATTER.

IT MATTERS TO ME.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

WHY ARE YOU BEING NICE TO ME?

JUST...

STOP IT.

YOU GONNA STEP ASIDE, OR DO WE THROW DOWN?

I MEAN, AM I YOUR PRISONER HERE?

NO, YOU'RE NOT MY PRISONER.

SO I'M FREE?

DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...

BUT THE DOOR'S OPEN.

WHERE YOU GONNA GO?

BACK OUT IN THAT DARKNESS?

I ONCE TOLD YOU THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO OUT IN THAT DARKNESS.

REMEMBER?

THAT IT WAS YOUR CHOICE.

WELL, YOU CHOSE.

YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD JUST TOUCH IT.

THAT YOU'D BE OK.

5-BY-5, RIGHT, FAITH?

BUT IT SWALLOWED YOU WHOLE.

SO TELL ME...

HOW'D YOU LIKE IT?

HELP ME.

YEAH.

HELLO, WESLEY.

SO, LOS ANGELES.

CALIFORNIA.

WHO WOULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS IS WHERE YOU'D END UP?

WELL, IT SEEMED AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANY

TO RE-EVALUATE MY SITUATION

AFTER BEING ASKED TO RESIGN MY POSITION WITH THE COUNCIL.

AND THE WEATHER.

I FIND IT...

DRY.

WOULDN'T COUGH UP THE DOSH

FOR THE AIRFARE HOME, WOULD THEY?

NO, THEY WOULDN'T.

ALL THOSE ALCHEMISTS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

AND THEY STILL MAKE US FLY COACH.

MISERLY BASTARDS.

A FRUGAL LOT, TO BE SURE,

BUT NOT STUPID,

AND I THINK YOU'LL FIND WILLING TO ADMIT

WHEN THEY'VE MADE A MISTAKE.

MADE A MISTAKE?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME HOME, WESLEY,

BACK TO ENGLAND WITH US?

HOME?

THE COUNCIL IS WILLING TO REINSTATE YOU,

RETURN YOU TO YOUR RIGHTFUL POSITION AS WATCHER.

THAT WAS A NASTY BUSINESS BACK IN SUNNYDALE,

BUT NOBODY BLAMES YOU.

REALLY?

BECAUSE I RATHER GOT THE IMPRESSION

THEY DID WHEN THEY SACKED ME.

AS I SAID, A MISTAKE.

ONE THAT CAN NOW BE CORRECTED

WITH YOUR HELP.

WE KNOW WHERE SHE IS,

AND WE KNOW YOU HAVE ACCESS TO HER.

NO.

I COULDN'T POSSIBLY.

LOYALTY TO A VAMPIRE NOW, IS IT?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE.

A ROGUE SLAYER, WESLEY.

FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY SINGLE VAMPIRE.

SURELY YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.

ALL TOO WELL.

THEN YOU'LL HELP US.

WHY COME TO ME?

YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

WHY NOT TAKE HER YOURSELVES?

YOU THREE ARE THE BEST,

THE COUNCIL'S ELITE--

SHE CLEANED YOUR CLOCKS, DIDN'T SHE?

SHE'S BETRAYED HER CALLING,

THE COUNCIL, YOU.

SHE HAS POWER

AND THE WILLINGNESS TO USE THAT POWER FOR EVIL.

AND SHE MUST BE STOPPED.

SO, HOW DOES THIS WORK?

THERE'S NO REAL SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT.

I WON'T LIE TO YOU AND TELL YOU IT'LL BE EASY...

'CAUSE IT WON'T BE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO CHANGE

DOESN'T MEAN THE WORLD'S READY FOR YOU TO.

THE TRUTH IS...

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SUFFER,

NO MATTER HOW MANY GOOD DEEDS YOU DO

TO TRY TO MAKE UP FOR THE PAST,

YOU MAY NEVER BALANCE OUT THE COSMIC SCALE.

THE ONLY THING I CAN PROMISE YOU

IS THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY BE HAUNTED,

AND MAYBE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?

UM...

POWER, LEVEL, TIME...

START.

[MICROWAVE RUNS]

SURE THAT POPCORN'S GONNA BE ENOUGH FOR YOU?

YEAH.

I CAN LIVE OFF THE STUFF.

TELL CORDELIA I'LL PAY HER BACK.

ACTUALLY, I THINK IT BELONGED TO WESLEY.

OH, MAYBE WE JUST DON'T MENTION IT, THEN.

MAYBE WE DO.

ARE YOU SAYIN' I GOT TO APOLOGIZE?

THINK YOU CAN?

I DUNNO.

HOW DO YOU SAY,

"GEE, REALLY SORRY THAT I TORTURED YOU NEARLY TO DEATH"?

WELL, FIRST OFF, I THINK I'D LEAVE OFF THE "GEE,"

AND SECONDLY, I THINK YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF...ARE YOU?

WHAT?

SORRY?

NOW, WHAT IF I CAN'T SAY IT?

THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE BACK,

NO MATTER HOW SORRY YOU ARE, RIGHT?

YEAH, THERE ARE.

I GOT SOME EXPERIENCE IN THAT AREA.

RIGHT. AND YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.

I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT 10 MINUTES.

SO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT 5, THE NEXT MINUTE.

I DON'T THINK I CAN.

YES, YOU CAN.

GOD, IT HURTS. I HATE THAT IT HURTS LIKE THIS.

OH, WELL, IT'S SUPPOSED TO HURT.

ALL THAT PAIN, ALL THAT SUFFERING YOU'VE CAUSED,

IS COMING BACK ON YOU.

FEEL IT. DEAL WITH IT.

THEN MAYBE YOU'VE GOT A SHOT AT BEING FREE.

[CHUCKLING]

I'VE GOTTA BE THE FIRST SLAYER IN HISTORY TO BE SPONSORED BY A VAMPIRE.

YEAH, WELL, I GOT SOME EXPERIENCE IN THAT AREA, TOO.

OH, GOD.

B--HOW AM I EVER GONNA MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH HER?

FAITH, THIS ISN'T ABOUT BUFFY.

ALL MY LIFE, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON

WHO TRIED TO BE MY FRIEND,

WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY

WHEN I HAD NO RIGHT OR REASON TO EXPECT HER TO,

AND I SCREWED HER,

NOT TO MENTION HER BOYFRIEND,

ONLY HIM, LITERALLY.

FAITH, YOU AND I NEVER ACTUALLY--

NO, NOT YOU. THE NEW ONE.

OH, MY GOD.

ANGEL, I'M SO SORRY. I--

NO--THERE!

YOU C SAY IT.

THAT'S GOOD.

GOOD.

McDonald: WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN HERE ON SUCH A SHORT NOTICE.

WE TRUST WE CAN RELY ON YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.

Mercer: WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLE

WITH FREELANCERS IN THE PAST.

DO YOU TAKE CREAM?

NO.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S THE TARGET.

DON'T LET THE PICTURE FOOL YOU.

SHE'S TOUGHER THAN SHE LOOKS.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING ELABORATE.

NO SLOW OR PAINFUL DEATH.

WELL, SOME PAIN WOULD BE GOOD.

THE POINT IS, IS THAT WE WANT HER DEAD.

YES, DEAD.

A LOT.

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR,

WE WON'T BE PUTTING ANY OF THIS DOWN ON PAPER.

THIS IS STRICTLY A HANDSHAKE DEAL.

NOT THAT IT'S NECESSARY FOR YOU TO HAVE HANDS

IN ORDER FOR US TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.

THAT WAS SPECIES-IST OF ME.

I APOLOGIZE IF I...

RAWWRRR.

OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.

[SLURPING]

CAREFUL.

THE SEDATIVE CONTAINED IN THAT SYRINGE

IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BRING DOWN A MAN TWICE YOUR SIZE...

OR A SLAYER.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

HOW DO YOU THINK?

YOU JAB HER WITH IT!

DON'T YOU?

[SIGH]

JUST A LITTLE PRESSURE ON THE FLESH.

IN A MOMENT, SHE'LL FEEL THE EFFECTS.

SO YOU INTEND TO TAKE HER ALIVE, THEN?

OF COURSE. SHE'LL BE OUT LONG ENOUGH

FOR US TO SECURE HER FOR TRANSPORT BACK TO ENGLAND.

THERE, SHE'LL BEGIN HER REHABILITATION.

DOES THE COUNCIL REALLY BELIEVE SHE CAN BE REHABILITATED?

WE HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE.

YOU'LL SIGNAL US AS SOON AS IT'S DONE,

AND WE'LL COME IN AND TAKE CARE OF THE REST.

THANKS.

I HAVE SOME CONDITIONS OF MY OWN.

JUST ONE, ACTUALLY.

NO HARM MUST COME TO THE VAMPIRE.

OH, DON'T BE A PONCE!

THAT'S IT. UNLESS YOU AGREE TO THAT,

YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP FROM ME.

WE HAVE NO QUARREL WITH THE VAMPIRE.

UNLESS YOU COUNT THE FACT THAT HE IS A VAMPIRE.

A SPECIAL CASE. HE'S REFORMED.

HE HAS A SOUL.

IN POINT OF FACT, I'VE CONFRONTED MORE EVIL,

SLAIN MORE DEMON--

SLAIN MORE DEMONS-- IN SHORT, DONE MORE GOOD WHILE WORKING WITH ANGEL

THAN I EVER DID WHILE I WAS IN THE COUNCIL'S EMPLOY.

WE'LL MAKE EVERY EFFORT.

NO, NOT "EVERY EFFORT."

NO HARM.

I MUST HAVE YOUR WORD.

DONE.

WHERE'S THE DOUGH?

WHERE'S THAT MONEY? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?

[CHANGES CHANNEL] Man: LET'S GET TO THE FINAL ROUND. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Woman: COMING UP NEXT ON THE CHANNEL 3 NEWS, LOCAL--

[FANFARE PLAYS]

[CHANGES CHANNEL]

EVERYTHING OK IN THERE?

IT WAS TOUCH-AND-GO FOR THOSE 4 MINUTES YOU LEFT ME ALONE,

BUT SOMEHOW I GOT THROUGH IT.

[TV CONTINUES]

Man: LEFT FIELDER DREW WILL STEP INTO THE BOX BATTING 327--

Newscaster: LOS ANGELES POLICE,

IN CONJUNCTION WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES,

ARE LOOKING FOR THIS WOMAN TONIGHT,

A FELONY SUSPECT FROM THE CALIFORNIA TOWN OF SUNNYDALE.

THE YOUNG WOMAN... [CRASH]

FAITH?

FLED TO LOS ANGELES

IN RECENT DAYS. FAITH!

EYEWITNESSES IDENTIFY HER... WHAT IS IT?

AS BEING INVOLVED IN SEVERAL RECENT ASSAULTS.

POLICE WANT YOUR HELP IN FINDING HER...

FAITH, IT'S OK, ALL RIGHT?

WE KNEW ABOUT THIS. NOTHING'S CHANGED, ALL RIGHT? NOTHING'S--

ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS SUSPECT

SHOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT APPROACH HER.

SHE'S VIOLENT AND UNPREDICTABLE.

I'LL TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS.

LISTEN TO ME, FAITH.

YOU'RE SAFE HERE.

YOU HEAR ME?

YOU'RE SAFE.

RRAAH!

NO.

HEY.

HEY, HEY...

SHH...

HEY.

SIT DOWN.

HEY, IT'S--IT'S OK.

IT'S GONNA BE OK, ALL RIGHT?

SHH...

ALL RIGHT.

SHH.

BUFFY.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU-- WHAT...

HOW...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SHE--WE WERE ATTACKED.

"WE"?

YOU AND...

FAITH.

YOU AND FAITH.

OH, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

YOU ACTUALLY THINK I CAN FORM A THOUGHT RIGHT NOW?

GILES HEARD THAT...

THAT SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU.

THAT'S TRUE.

SO YOU DECIDED TO PUNISH HER WITH A SEVERE CUDDLING.

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE HERE,

TO PUNISH HER?

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

BUFFY.

OH, GOD.

YOU DIDN'T THINK I WAS GONNA FIND YOU, DID YOU?

Angel: BUFFY, LET'S TALK.

OH, I DON'T THINK TALK IS IN ORDER RIGHT NOW.

SHE NEEDS HELP.

HELP? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT SHE DID TO ME?

YES.

DO YOU CARE?

SHE WANTS TO CHANGE.

SHE HAS A CHANCE TO.

NO. NO CHANCE. JAIL.

YOU THINK THAT'LL HELP?

BUFFY?

I'M SOR--

IF YOU APOLOGIZE TO ME,

I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH.

GO AHEAD.

THIS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

YOU'RE GONNA STOP ME? 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO.

DON'T DO THIS. FAITH, GO UPSTAIRS NOW.

YOU THINK I'M GONNA LET HER-- BUFFY, JUST BACK OFF.

THERE IS NO WAY I AM LETTING HER OUT OF MY SIGHT.

FAITH, GO!

DON'T YOU MOVE A--UHH!

UNH!

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

FAITH?

GOING SOMEWHERE?

NO.

JUST WANTED TO BE ALONE.

ANGEL DOWNSTAIRS?

YEAH.

RIGHT.

WELL?

STRIKE 2.

THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

THE FIRST ASSASSIN KILLS THE SECOND ASSASSIN

SENT TO KILL THE FIRST ASSASSIN

WHO DIDN'T ASSASSINATE ANYONE

UNTIL WE HIRED THE SECOND ASSASSIN TO ASSASSINATE HER.

ALL RIGHT, THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN'T WORKING.

YOU THINK?

WE'VE GONE ABOUT THIS ALL WRONG.

MEANING?

WE'RE LAWYERS.

IT'S A MISTAKE FOR US TO TRY TO WORK OUTSIDE THE LAW.

HE'S BEING IRONIC.

NOT AT ALL. IT'S TIME WE MOVED THIS FIGHT TO OUR OWN TURF.

I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

Angel: SHE'S NOT GONNA RUN, BUFFY.

WELL, WHY WOULD SHE

WHEN SHE HAS HER BRAVE KNIGHT TO PROTECT HER?

GOT YOU.

DOES SHE CRY?

POUTY LIPS...

HEAVING BOSOM.

I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED HELP.

YOU THINK I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN?

YOU HIT ME.

NOT TO GO ALL SCHOOL YARD ON YOU, BUT YOU HIT ME FIRST.

IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,

YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT STRONGER THAN I AM.

YOU DID IT FOR HER.

YOU WERE ABOUT 3 SECONDS FROM MAKING HER RUN. YOU KNOW THAT.

SHE'S AT A CRUCIAL STAGE.

SHE'S PLAYING YOU.

SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU.

THAT WAS JUST-- THAT WAS JUST A CRY FOR HELP.

A CRY FOR HELP IS WHEN YOU SAY "HELP" IN A LOUD VOICE.

I KNOW FAITH DID SOME BAD THINGS TO YOU.

YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW.

YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT SHE'S GOIN' THROUGH.

BUT OF COURSE, YOU DO?

I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T BE IN YOUR CLUB.

I'VE NEVER MURDERED ANYBODY.

[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]

FAITH, I TOLD YOU--

SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLAN.

GET YOUR COAT.

WESLEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

IN ABOUT 2O MINUTES,

THE COUNCIL'S OPERATIONS TEAM IS COMING IN HERE.

THEY'LL EXPECT TO FIND YOU GONE AND HER DRUGGED.

HOW MANY?

3. HELLO, BUFFY.

I'M AFRAID YOU'VE COME AT A BAD TIME.

I'M FEELING THAT.

WHY'D YOU BRING THEM HERE?

COULDN'T SHAKE THEM. HAD TO PRETEND I WAS HELPING THEM.

WHY AREN'T YOU? I KNOW THESE GUYS.

THEY'RE KILLERS. THEY'VE SURROUNDED THE BUILDING.

I'LL CHECK THE SEWERS.

IF THEY'RE CLEAR, WE'LL ALL HEAD OUT.

FAITH!

SHE MUST HAVE SLIPPED OUT.

SHE'D HEAD FOR THE ROOF. THEY MAY HAVE IT COVERED!

WE NEED A PLAN. BUFFY CAN PROTECT FAITH.

I'M NOT SURE THAT'S HER AGENDA.

THE SEWERS ARE STILL OUR BEST ROUTE.

IF THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT OUR ACCESS.

ANGEL, IT WASN'T FOR HER.

I KNOW.

IT'S BECAUSE I TRUST YOU.

WELL, MORE THAN 3 GUN-TOTING MANIACS AT ANY RATE.

WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY?

I DESPISE YOU,

YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU REPRESENT,

AND WHEN I SAY "REPRESENT" AND "THING,"

I DO MEAN YOUR CLIENTS.

WELL, BE THAT AS IT MAY,

I BELIEVE I HAVE SOME INFORMATION

THAT WILL BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.

BECAUSE, WHILE IT IS TRUE

WE DO DIFFER ON A GREAT MANY ISSUES,

WE DO HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON--

OUR BODIES ARE BOTH 80% WATER?

AN ENEMY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OH, OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

AND WE CAN'T BE COMPLETELY CLEAR

BECAUSE THE LAW ISN'T CLEAR ON THESE MATTERS, IS IT?

I MEAN, TAKE FOR EXAMPLE...

THE CREATURES WHO MURDERED YOUR FATHER.

THEY COULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO ANY KIND OF TRADITIONAL JUSTICE,

EVEN IF THEY HAD SURVIVED.

AND PERSONALLY...

I FEEL YOU WERE TOTALLY JUSTIFIED

IN TAKING WHATEVER

EXTRALEGAL MEASURES THAT YOU FOUND NECESSARY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

THEY'RE BEINGS, DETECTIVE.

BEINGS THAT ARE NOT GOVERNED BY THE LAWS AND STRICTURES

THAT WE, AS HUMANS, HAVE DEVISED.

THIS MAN IS SUCH A BEING.

HE FEELS HE'S ABOVE THE LAW,

WHICH IS WHY

HE GIVES AID AND COMFORT TO A KNOWN MURDERER.

THE WOMAN YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR...

SHE'S WITH HIM.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA RUN, FAITH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

YOU GONNA THROW ME OFF THE ROOF AGAIN?

ANY REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T?

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU, B.

I CAN'T EVER MAKE IT RIGHT.

SO YOU'RE JUST GONNA TAKE OFF AGAIN,

LEAVE US TO CLEAN UP YET ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR MESSES.

IT'D MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOU.

TILL YOU GOT BORED WITH THE WHOLE GUILT THING,

DECIDED TO COME BACK AND SHAKE THINGS UP?

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT.

ANGEL SAID THERE WAS NO WAY

YOU WERE GONNA GIVE ME A CHANCE.

I GAVE YOU EVERY CHANCE!

I TRIED SO HARD TO HELP YOU,

AND YOU SPAT ON ME.

MY LIFE WAS JUST SOMETHING FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH.

ANGEL...RILEY...

ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD TAKE FROM ME, YOU TOOK.

I'VE LOST BATTLES BEFORE...

BUT NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER MADE ME A VICTIM.

AND YOU CAN'T STAND THAT.

YOU'RE ALL ABOUT CONTROL.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

NOTHING'S IN CONTROL. NOTHING MAKES SENSE.

THERE'S JUST PAIN AND HATE,

AND NOTHING YOU DO MEANS ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T EVEN--

SHUT UP!

JUST TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER.

IT'S COMING FROM THE ROOF.

I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL.

SHUT IT.

VAMPIRE.

I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE OTHER BUILDING.

GO.

NOW.

WEATHERBY, LISTEN TO REASON.

REASON?

A WATCHER WORKIN' FOR A VAMPIRE.

IT'S PERVERSION.

I HAVE TO TAKE THIS GUY OUT.

THE GUNNER UP THERE WILL GO FOR ME, YOU STAY HERE.

OK.

TRY AND KEEP HER STEADY!

- WEATHERBY-- - DO THE SACRED OATHS YOU SWORE TO UPHOLD AS WATCHER

MEAN NOTHING TO YOU NOW?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY DO.

I SWORE TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.

GET TO THE ROOF. HELP THEM.

WHAT? NOW!

BASTARD!

UHH!

180.

THAT'S FOR CALLING ME A PONCE.

DOWN! TAKE IT DOWN!

FAITH.

WHERE IS SHE?

YOU GOT ONE SHOT HERE, ANGEL. WHERE IS SHE?

ARREST HIM.

START WITH AIDING AND ABETTING A WANTED FELON.

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA LIKE THE CELL WE HAVE FOR YOU, ANGEL.

IT FACES EAST,

GIVE YOU A GREAT VIEW OF THE SUNRISE IN ABOUT 4 HOURS.

WHAT? IT'S OK.

YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS?

WHO ARE YOU?

SHE'S NOBODY.

WAIT. THIS IS MURDER.

BUFFY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT IS NOT ALL RIGHT.

GET HER OUT OF HERE!

YOU ARE NOT TAKIN' THE FALL FOR HER, ANGEL! OUT!

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

BUFFY.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A CONFESSION.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME WHAT WAS GOING ON.

I DIDN'T--

I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS YOUR BUSINESS.

NOT MY BUSINESS?

I NEEDED MORE TIME WITH FAITH. I'M NOT SURE--

YOU NEEDED--

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT WAS LIKE

FOR ME TO SEE YOU WITH HER?

THAT YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK--

BUFFY, THIS WASN'T ABOUT YOU.

THIS WAS ABOUT SAVING SOMEBODY'S SOUL.

THAT'S WHAT I DO HERE, AND YOU'RE NOT A PART OF IT.

THAT WAS YOUR IDEA, REMEMBER?

WE STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.

I CAME HERE BECAUSE YOU WERE IN DANGER.

I'M IN DANGER EVERY DAY.

YOU CAME BECAUSE OF FAITH.

YOU WERE LOOKING FOR VENGEANCE.

I HAVE A RIGHT TO IT.

NOT IN MY CITY.

I HAVE SOMEONE IN MY LIFE NOW.

THAT I LOVE.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU AND I HAD.

IT'S VERY NEW.

YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES IT NEW?

I TRUST HIM.

I KNOW HIM.

THAT'S GREAT.

IT'S NICE...

YOU MOVED ON.

I CAN'T.

YOU FOUND SOMEONE NEW.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO, REMEMBER?

I SEE YOU AGAIN, IT CUTS ME UP INSIDE,

AND THE PERSON I SHARE THAT WITH IS ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME ANYMORE,

SO DON'T COME DOWN HERE WITH YOUR GREAT NEW LIFE

AND EXPECT ME TO DO THINGS YOUR WAY!

GO HOME.

SEE?

FAITH WINS AGAIN.

GO.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

FOR A TACITURN, SHADOWY GUY,

I GOT A BIG MOUTH.

DO YOU WANNA GO AFTER HER?

YES.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MY OPINION COUNTS FOR,

BUT I THINK YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

YELLING AT BUFFY?

NO.

THE OTHER THING.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

FAITH DID.

Wesley: I HOPE SHE'S STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT.

PEACE IS NOT AN EASY THING TO FIND.

Angel: SHE HAS A CHANCE.

GRR! ARRGH!
