00:00Archaic exercise in cruelty. We're finished.
00:03Not quite. She passed. You didn't.
00:06I've recommended to the Council you be relieved of your duties as Watcher immediately.
00:12You're fired.
00:13The Council's orders are to concentrate on...
00:16I don't think I'm going to be taking any more orders.
00:19Wesley, go back to your Council and tell them until the next layer comes along I'm not working for them anymore.
00:26What about the key? Are they all over it?
00:28Well, they're interested.
00:30But they didn't guess about Don, right? I mean, they don't know that it's her.
00:35No.
00:40Here, I'll get that. Sorry.
00:44Mom's still not 100%, and I guess I haven't really been taking up the slack.
00:48No, but the place looks fine, Matthew.
00:51Yeah, it's just us.
00:52That must have belonged to, uh...
00:59Um, aren't we supposed to have a meeting?
01:05Uh, yes, yes. We're here for a reason.
01:08Um, I've had some rather, um...
01:11I've had some news.
01:12It seems that the Council of Watchers has found some information that may help us out.
01:21About Glory?
01:22Uh, presumably.
01:23I think we'll find that out when they arrive.
01:27Could be very important.
01:28Arrive?
01:29They're coming here?
01:31Now?
01:32Well, why do they have to come here?
01:34Yeah, don't they have phones?
01:36Hello, Buffy.
01:37Here's some stuff, you know, pip-pip.
01:39Yeah, phone.
01:40See, I'd like them on phones.
01:42Well, what's so bad about them coming here?
01:44Aren't they good guys?
01:45I mean, watchers.
01:46That's just like other Gileses, right?
01:49Yeah, they're scary and horrible.
01:52Um, they can appear a bit, well, hard-nosed,
01:57but essentially their agenda is the same as ours.
02:00They want to save the world and kill demons.
02:03Kill the current demons, right?
02:06Current demons.
02:08Giles, I don't want them to come here.
02:10I don't trust them.
02:11Make them not come here.
02:13Well, they're probably already on their way.
02:15Our old friend Quentin Travers is heading up a delegation.
02:20They put me through that test and almost killed me.
02:23And then when I was fate, they almost killed me again.
02:26Honestly, I really can't handle almost being killed right now.
02:29I don't like the sound of this.
02:31They don't sound very ex-demon compatible.
02:35Are you sure they're English?
02:37I thought English people were gentler than normal people.
02:42Maybe it won't be so bad this time.
02:45I mean, Buffy, they did think you were Faith last time.
02:48Now that they know you're just you, maybe they won't care enough to kill you.
02:53It's not just that.
02:55They're going to screw everything up.
02:56It's a delicate time right now.
03:00I have to take care of Dawn.
03:02But that's not new.
03:03You've always taken care of her.
03:06Right.
03:07Right.
03:08I know that.
03:09It's just, you know, there's glory.
03:11And I don't need the counsel looking over my shoulder when I don't even know what we're dealing with.
03:15Uh, you've got some precisely what we need to talk to.
03:21Dawn, honey, what are you doing up at this hour?
03:24Go back to bed.
03:26I was just getting a snack.
03:28Dawn?
03:29Are you listening?
03:30I can get a snack if I want to.
03:36She was listening.
03:38Does it matter?
03:40I mean, is she really going to set the junior high school buzzing with...
03:44Ooh, there's a delegation coming.
03:47No, I guess not.
03:50You know, it's just...
03:50Sometimes we say stuff and it's all good.
03:57Charles, you were saying something.
04:00Um, just that if the counsel knows something about glory,
04:06her agenda or her origins,
04:09then maybe it will help us get a grip on what we're dealing with.
04:16I mean, right now, I think we're a bit lost.
04:20Oh, God, please don't harm me.
04:36I beg of you.
04:37If you just let me go, I swear, I won't tell anyone.
04:40Help her.
04:42We're here for you, Great One.
04:54Drink.
04:55Oh, what is this?
04:58What the hell is this?
05:00Please.
05:00Oh, very good, delicious.
05:22No, I'm good.
05:24It's okay.
05:30I know you're all always looking at me.
05:36I can tell.
05:38Always tell I can see.
05:41My hat.
05:43My hat.
05:46Where's my hat?
05:51Try not cutting things so close next time.
05:55Understood?
05:56Yes, we live to serve, as always.
06:00Cole, take this mess out with the rest of the trash.
06:06And you...
06:07Have something to tell me?
06:12Indeed, Glorificus.
06:13And I'm waiting.
06:15We have found that the signs of the alignment are moving faster than expected.
06:23Meaning?
06:23If you are to use the key, you must act quickly.
06:29Fine.
06:33I have been cooling my heels in this crappy little town long enough.
06:40Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.
06:46All you need is the key.
06:48Yes, and I bet Mousy the Vampire Slayer has an idea where it is.
06:53If I may remind your eminence, you don't have much time.
06:59Baby.
07:01If that girl's the only thing between me and my key, I don't need much time.
07:07And...
07:17Okay.
07:17Boy.
08:49We brought some of our colleagues with you.
08:53Do you care to introduce us?
08:56First, I thought we might catch her.
09:00Well, certainly, certainly.
09:01Well, this is the shop, obviously.
09:06It's been a very interesting transition into the world of retail.
09:10In fact, I think it's going rather well.
09:13I'll give you a grand tour, if you like.
09:15Oh, that's all right.
09:16I think I can see what you're being up to.
09:17Yes, well, I do limit my time here, obviously.
09:25Buffy and I have been training a great deal these days.
09:29There's a back room that we've had.
09:31Oh, yes, I thought perhaps you were keeping that space for the really dangerous items that should be kept out of the public's hands.
09:38Well, maybe you don't worry about that.
09:43I'm very careful.
09:45Most of this stuff couldn't harm anyone.
09:48Incense, dime store trinkets.
09:50Yes, but there are some things.
09:52I'm sorry, who are you?
09:54There are some very potent elements here.
09:57Focusing crystals, runic artifacts, an amulet of Caldus.
10:03Also, this statue, its removal from Burma, is a criminal offense.
10:08And when triggered, it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
10:14Like I so severely underpriced it.
10:17Oh, Charles, I'm sorry.
10:20Look, this is just for the duration of our stay.
10:23I think you can see why.
10:25What?
10:26What, what?
10:27What is just for the duration?
10:29Magic box shoppers.
10:32We're going to have to ask you to leave.
10:34The store is closing early today.
10:38Terrific, sorry for the inconvenience.
10:41Hey, Giles.
10:43What are they doing?
10:45Customers.
10:46Please, bring your money back.
10:51You knew you were going to do this before you even saw the place.
10:55I'm sorry.
10:57It's just for the duration of the council's review.
11:00Council?
11:01You're the council?
11:02Welcome to our store.
11:06We're closed now.
11:07I'll be in the back.
11:10What review?
11:11Quentin, let's just stop a moment and talk about this.
11:14Yes, excuse me.
11:15You, uh, you work here.
11:17Yes, I do.
11:20Ever since I moved here from southeastern Indiana, where I was raised by both a mother and a father.
11:27I need this girl.
11:28You don't have to talk to him.
11:30She works for me.
11:33Now, tell me about this review.
11:35No one said anything to me about this.
11:38Let's sit down and talk about it over here.
11:40You all stand around and look somber.
11:59Good charm.
12:01You used to respect us, Charles.
12:04You used to be one of us.
12:06You used to pay me.
12:08If you recall, firing me was not my idea.
12:11Touché.
12:13But you were on the inside once.
12:16You know what sort of resources we command.
12:21We've discovered information about this creature, your glory.
12:26Some of it is clearly vital.
12:30Rest, merely extremely disturbing.
12:33And it won't be handed over until we are convinced that you and your slayer are prepared for it.
12:42That's the review.
12:43I'm not having you put her through another one of your insane tests.
12:47It's not a test.
12:49It's a check of her methods.
12:52We need to know that this information is safe.
12:55You can trust her.
12:56You can trust her.
13:00Buffy's come very far recently.
13:03She's acquired a remarkable focus.
13:05Now, Rasputin was associated with a certain obscure religious sect.
13:13They held the tenet that in order to be forgiven, one first had to sin.
13:17Rasputin embraced this doctrine and proceeded to sin impressively and repeatedly.
13:24The notion that he was, in fact, evil, gained strength years later, when the conspirators who set out to kill him, found it nearly impossible to do so.
13:36Nearly impossible?
13:38I'm sorry, there was a question.
13:43Miss Summers, of course.
13:45I, uh, about, you know, killing him.
13:58You know, they poisoned him and they beat him and they shot him and he didn't die.
14:06Until they rolled his body in a carpet and drowned him in a canal.
14:10But there are reported sightings of him as late as the 1930s, aren't there?
14:14I can assure you there is near consensus in the academic community regarding the death of Rasputin.
14:20There's also a near consensus about Columbus, you know, until someone asked the Vikings what they were up to in the 1400s and they're, like, discovering this America-shaped continent.
14:33I just, I'm only saying, you know, it might be interesting if we came at it from, you know, a different perspective.
14:43That's all.
14:44Well, I'm sorry if you find these facts so boring, Miss Summers.
14:49Maybe you'd prefer I step aside so that you can teach your own course.
14:55Speculation 101, perhaps?
14:58Intro to flights of fancy?
15:02I only then...
15:03What was it that we were going on about last week?
15:05The mysterious sleeping patterns of the Prussian generals?
15:11Now, some of us are here to learn.
15:15Believe it or not, we're interested in finding out what actually happened.
15:19It's called studying history.
15:24You can sit down now.
15:26Unless you have something else to add, Professor?
15:28Miss Summers.
15:36Some of us are here to learn, Professor.
15:49Maybe you would like to teach your own class.
15:52Who are you talking to?
15:54Spike, why did you do that?
16:13Not for money, if that's what you're thinking.
16:16Your heartfelt gratitude's plenty.
16:18I expect I'll be getting that any moment.
16:22Gratitude.
16:23For getting in my way?
16:25Getting in your way?
16:27I saved you.
16:29I was regrouping.
16:31You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.
16:34You needed help.
16:35I didn't need you.
16:37I never need you, Spike.
16:39Oh, I get it.
16:44You just don't like who did the rescue in that soul.
16:47Wishing I was your boyfriend.
16:48What's his height?
16:49Oh, wait, he's run off.
16:50You know what?
16:50I don't need a boyfriend to rescue me or for any other reason.
16:53Don't need a can't keep.
16:56You keep making notches in the headboard,
16:58but eventually they get up out of the bed and run off, don't they?
17:02You're disgusting.
17:05Rough talk.
17:06You know, maybe that's your problem.
17:09Maybe you're pushing away.
17:11Or is it the other?
17:13Maybe you cling too much.
17:14Or maybe your beauty's fading.
17:18The stress of slang aging you prematurely.
17:21Things not as high, not as firm.
17:23You know what, Spike?
17:25The more I get to know you,
17:27the more I wish I didn't.
17:29Or maybe you just don't hold their interest.
17:36Begging permission to speak with you, sir?
17:51Don't touch me.
17:53You're crusty.
17:54What do you want?
17:55Oh, not me.
17:56The magnificent glory.
17:59She wants...
18:00She wants more information on the Slayer.
18:03She knows you know her.
18:06The Slayer?
18:07I don't know any Slayer.
18:09Get away from me.
18:10You shouldn't be here.
18:11Oh, I believe you do, sir.
18:13She's short, symmetrical, hair on top.
18:16Buffy something.
18:17Buffy Summers is the Slayer?
18:19That's the one.
18:21Very clever of you, sir.
18:23The Slayer?
18:25How does Glory know this?
18:26I did not know.
18:28I was not there.
18:29But the beauteous Glory said for you to tell us, please,
18:34where her dwelling is,
18:36who her friends are.
18:39Why?
18:41So Glory can find her?
18:42Do something to her?
18:44Why would I do that?
18:45I don't know, sir.
18:47She just said to tell you to do it.
18:51For her.
18:53That was her message.
18:54Well, I've got a message for Glory, too.
19:00You've been developing a sort of a hybrid fighting style.
19:04Let me outline her progress for you,
19:06and I think you'll see that your review isn't strictly needed.
19:14Bad day.
19:16Bad...
19:16Miss Summers!
19:21Good to see you again.
19:27Mr. Travers.
19:29Giles has just been telling us of your training regimen.
19:32Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here.
19:37Right now?
19:37No need to rush you.
19:41They're staying a little longer than I'd anticipate.
19:44We've already laid out our project for Mr. Giles.
19:48Nigel?
19:49It's an exhaustive examination of your procedures and abilities.
19:54Observe your training.
19:56Talk to your friends.
19:57Talk to my friends?
19:58Yes, we understand you're still taking civilians out on your patrols.
20:03Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
20:05Buffy, I can sense your resistance.
20:09I don't blame you.
20:11But I think your watcher hasn't reminded you lately
20:14of the relative status of the players in our little game.
20:17A council fights evil.
20:20The slayer is the instrument by which we fight.
20:23The council remains.
20:24The slayers change.
20:27Been that way from the beginning.
20:29Well, it's a very comforting, bloodless way of looking at it, isn't it?
20:33Giles, let me talk to Buffy,
20:35because I think she's understanding me.
20:39Glory is stronger than you.
20:42She's a more powerful instrument, if you will.
20:44Well, we can help you.
20:48We have information that will help.
20:51Pass the review, and we give it to you without reservation.
20:55Fail the review, either through incompetence
20:59or by resisting our recommendations.
21:02Resisting your recommendations?
21:04She fails if we don't do whatever you say.
21:08How much under your thumb do you think we are?
21:10How much do you want our help?
21:12She's not your bloody instrument,
21:14and you have no right to do any of this.
21:16Giles!
21:23I understand you think this is unfair,
21:26but there are factors which should motivate you
21:28to go along with the review.
21:29Now, I don't want to do this.
21:33But obviously, we could shut this place down permanently.
21:38You can't do that.
21:40You don't have that kind of power.
21:41Of course we do, and a great deal more.
21:44In fact, if you insist on fighting us,
21:46we'll arrange to have Mr. Giles deported within the day.
21:51Never set foot in this country again.
21:52Perhaps you're used to idle threats
21:57and sloppy discipline, Ms. Summers.
22:00But you're dealing with grown-ups now.
22:05Am I making myself clear?
22:07Jynx!
22:28Hey, what's the deal with your face?
22:31It's a message from Ben.
22:36He isn't going to help.
22:40He isn't going...
22:42He isn't going to help?
22:45No.
22:47All I have to do is turn over
22:48that tiny, squirming Slayer girl.
22:51I have business to do with her.
22:54If she knows where,
22:55I can start looking for my key.
22:56Ah!
23:01Why won't he help?
23:08He knows her.
23:10He could go to her.
23:12He could talk to her.
23:14He could seduce her and bang the key out of her.
23:18He is quite attractive.
23:19Well, of course he's attractive.
23:23But he drives me insane.
23:26You know what I mean?
23:28He drives you insane?
23:31Yeah.
23:32That's it, exactly.
23:42Sweet, lumpy minion.
23:46You're the only one that understands.
23:49Probably because I haven't sucked your brain out yet.
23:58He makes me so mad.
24:02If I could just...
24:04get my hands on him.
24:08You know?
24:10I'll just find her myself.
24:13It's a power play, that's what it is.
24:15It's about who has the powder.
24:19I'm guessing they do.
24:21Big power outage in Buffley County.
24:25I should have set you loose on them.
24:27That's what I should have done.
24:29Charles at Traverse guy is like 60.
24:32I can't hit him.
24:35Can I?
24:38I suppose not.
24:40Well, I could.
24:42I think I will.
24:43Can they really do the stuff they threatened?
24:51Kick you out of the country?
24:53I'm a harpy.
24:56See, the rough stuff, they're all right out there.
24:59A bit ham-handed, but they get it done.
25:01But this stuff, the bureaucracy,
25:04the pulling of political strings,
25:07they're the best in the world.
25:10They can kill you with a stroke of a pen.
25:11Ponce, you suck.
25:17Am I going to be able to get through this review?
25:23Well, I...
25:23I suppose they'll make it as difficult as they want to.
25:31The physical stuff could be a bit of a challenge.
25:33That's not what I'm worried about.
25:38It's the other stuff.
25:41Examining decisions I've made.
25:44I mean, twice now,
25:46I've been within slaying distance of Gloria,
25:47and twice, she's kicked my ass
25:49without even tensing a muscle.
25:52And I haven't been able to figure out
25:54what she is or anything about her,
25:57except that she wants the key,
25:58which I have,
25:59and I can't even figure out
26:00if it's okay for me to tell anyone that.
26:02Puffy, no one could have done any better than you.
26:05But no one else is going to be asked
26:06the questions that I can't answer.
26:10They're going to expect me to...
26:12to be like a slayer and know stuff,
26:16but I'm just me,
26:17and I don't know anything,
26:18and they're going to go away,
26:20and they're not going to tell me
26:21how to fight Gloria,
26:22and I'm not going to be able to protect Dawn.
26:24Buffy, calm down.
26:27The scandal here is not anything you've done wrong.
26:31It's the way they're behaving,
26:33holding what they know hostage
26:35with a gun pointed to mine.
26:37Bleeding green card, no less.
26:41It's humiliating.
26:45Also smart.
26:48They picked the perfect thing.
26:51I can't lose you.
26:59I guess I should be getting ready.
27:02What do you think it'll be like?
27:05How do you think they'll start?
27:07Anya Christina Emanuela Jenkins,
27:1020 years old.
27:12Born on the 4th of July,
27:13and don't think there weren't jokes about that
27:15my whole life, mister,
27:16because there were.
27:17Who's our little patriot, they'd say,
27:19when I was younger,
27:20and therefore smaller and shorter
27:22than I am now.
27:24So,
27:25you spell it
27:26A-N-Y-A, then?
27:32Yes.
27:33Fine.
27:34Now we can get to the questions.
27:37Questions?
27:38Great.
27:39We can answer questions.
27:41Well, I need to know a little bit more
27:44about the Slayer,
27:45and about the both of you.
27:48Your relationship,
27:49whatever you can tell me.
27:51Our relationship?
27:54We're friends.
27:56Good friends.
27:59Girlfriends, actually.
28:02Yes, we're girlfriends.
28:03We're in love.
28:04Well, we're lovers.
28:08Lesbian, gay-type lovers.
28:11I meant your relationship with the Slayer.
28:17Um, just good friends.
28:21Best friends.
28:23Willow and me and Buffy.
28:25The three of us have been together
28:26from the beginning.
28:28We've always gone on patrols,
28:29and done demon research with her
28:31and everything.
28:32Have you mastered any fighting disciplines
28:34over the years?
28:36No.
28:38So,
28:39you have
28:40no special skills
28:41or powers
28:43or knowledge
28:44that you bring to the mix?
28:47Neither of you?
28:48Just enthusiasm
28:49for killing the demons.
28:51Go deadness for the demons.
28:53I don't have any powers,
28:55but I do help.
28:57How?
28:57Be specific.
28:59Last year,
28:59Willow, Giles and me
29:01combined our essence
29:02with Buffy,
29:03which isn't as weird
29:04as it sounds.
29:06We merged,
29:07and I was the heart part
29:09of a super Buffy.
29:11Again, let me stress
29:12the not-as-weird thing.
29:14I'm told it was all
29:15very professional.
29:17Are you saying
29:18that the Slayer
29:20needs that level of help
29:21from you often?
29:23No, no.
29:23She doesn't need help.
29:25She'd be fine
29:26without us.
29:27Sometimes she goes off
29:28and does stuff
29:28without even telling us.
29:30Not that she's like
29:31a weird loner
29:32or anything.
29:34I'm not sure
29:35we're saying this right.
29:36See,
29:37here's the thing.
29:38We can help
29:39because we do magics.
29:41I'm working on this
29:42ball of sunshine thing.
29:44See,
29:45I have this theory.
29:46It's very cool.
29:47And if it works,
29:48easier slaying
29:49for Buffy.
29:50Not that it's
29:51hard for her now.
29:52Interesting.
29:53What level are you at?
29:56Level?
29:59Magical proficiency level.
30:02Oh!
30:03A high,
30:04a high level.
30:06Very high.
30:07One of those
30:08top levels.
30:10Five.
30:15And
30:16you're registered
30:18as practicing
30:19witches under
30:20the names
30:20as you gave
30:21them to me?
30:23Registered?
30:24Oh, yes.
30:25Yes, of course.
30:26We're registered.
30:28Do either of you
30:29know anything
30:29about the key?
30:31Nope.
30:33Sounds
30:33demon-y to me.
30:35I don't hold
30:36about demon nonsense.
30:37Muffin?
30:39I cook them myself.
30:44So,
30:45Buffy sometimes
30:46protects you
30:47from the
30:47dangerous elements
30:49of her work.
30:50Yes.
30:50She's saved my life
30:51lots of times.
30:53The vampires
30:53in this town
30:54hate her.
30:55But we understand
30:56that you
30:57help the slayer.
30:59I'll pitch him
30:59when she pays me.
31:00She pays you?
31:02She gives you money?
31:05Money?
31:06A little nip of blood
31:07out of some
31:08stray victim.
31:08Whatever.
31:09Blood?
31:09Well,
31:10they're gonna die
31:10anyway.
31:14Come to think
31:15of it, though,
31:16that's a bit
31:16scandalous,
31:17isn't it?
31:18Personally,
31:19I'm shocked
31:19at the girl
31:20slipping.
31:21You've noticed
31:21a decline
31:22in her work.
31:23Oh, yeah.
31:24See,
31:25the poor little
31:25twig can't keep
31:26a man.
31:28Gets her all down.
31:30A few more
31:31disappointments
31:31should be
31:32crying on my
31:33shoulder.
31:33Mark my words.
31:35Is that what
31:35you want?
31:36I'd think
31:38you'd want
31:39to kill her.
31:40You've
31:41killed
31:41slayers before.
31:44Heard of me,
31:45have you?
31:50I
31:50wrote my
31:52thesis on you.
31:54Well, well.
31:55And then me.
31:58Tell me,
31:59Beth,
32:00and I was
32:00such good friends.
32:02How's the slayer
32:03doing?
32:05Is she okay?
32:07High marks
32:07in all categories?
32:09Agility,
32:10clarity,
32:12stamina,
32:12and strength.
32:13These are the
32:14qualities that
32:15the slayer must
32:16possess to do
32:17her job.
32:18What came
32:19after agility?
32:20If you wanted
32:20to attack the
32:21dummy.
32:22No, no, no.
32:23Philip will
32:24attack the
32:24dummy.
32:25The slayer's
32:26job is to
32:27protect it.
32:29Do you
32:29understand?
32:31Protect the
32:32dummy?
32:32As if it
32:33were precious.
32:35getting the
32:37best of
32:37Philip will
32:38require agility.
32:40Listening to
32:41my instructions
32:41at the same
32:42time, that
32:44will demonstrate
32:45clarity, and
32:47stamina and
32:47strength will
32:48win the long
32:49fight.
32:50Good luck.
32:52Instructions?
32:53Yeah, I'll be
32:54telling you what
32:54to do, how to
32:55counter Philip's
32:56thrusts.
32:57We assume you're
32:58familiar with the
32:59Japanese names for
33:01Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu
33:03moves.
33:04Japanese.
33:05And go.
33:06Whoa, whoa,
33:06hold on a second.
33:08We, we, you
33:09know, in America,
33:09we usually just
33:10work our way up
33:11to go.
33:13Shomen-ni-de.
33:15Huh?
33:16Um, he wants
33:17you to bow.
33:18Take a bow.
33:19Uh.
33:19Uh.
33:19Shomen-zuki.
33:40Ah!
33:41Punch him.
33:43Thanks, Giles.
33:45Sorry.
33:45Ushiro-geri-empi-uchi.
33:50Um.
33:51Back kick.
33:52Elbow.
33:53Soup.
33:54Elbow.
33:55Strike.
33:57How have you
33:57been training?
33:58I've trained
33:59it to win.
34:00Know what?
34:01I'm gonna have
34:02to do it my way,
34:03guys.
34:03Oh.
34:05Shit.
34:11Yes!
34:15I think you just
34:29broke my rib.
34:31Yes, well.
34:32I didn't mean to.
34:34Um, you know,
34:35I, I, I can do
34:36better.
34:36I think I might be
34:37getting this, like,
34:38inner ear thing,
34:39and so maybe,
34:40maybe if, if I got
34:41a note, I, I could
34:42try again.
34:43No, it's all right.
34:44I don't, I don't
34:45think we need to
34:45see any more
34:46physical tests,
34:47or what.
34:49We can move on
34:50to the real review.
34:52Look into your
34:53strategies, plans.
34:56Figure out what's
34:57going on in that
34:58head.
35:00Good.
35:02Head stuff.
35:03We start at
35:04seven tonight.
35:06Give you time
35:07to, uh,
35:10well,
35:11however you
35:12prepare.
35:14love.
35:40Long day, sweetie.
35:59So, this is where the Slayer eats, sleeps, and combs her hair.
36:10Ah, so cute.
36:15Can't even stand it.
36:18Personally, I need more space, but, uh, this is good for you.
36:25It's, it's so quaint.
36:29Psst.
36:30Buffy, if I wanted to fight, you could tell by the being dead already.
36:40Hmm, so play nice, little girl.
36:44What do you want?
36:46The key.
36:48Why else do you think I'd come here?
36:51See, I think you know where it is.
36:55And that's a good thing.
36:57I'm glad you think so.
36:58Well, it's the only thing keeping you alive right now.
37:02Because you may be tiny queen in vampire world.
37:06But to me, you're a bug.
37:09You should get down on your knees and worship me.
37:13But, Ona, you still think it's neat having Slayer strength.
37:18Ooh, big deal.
37:20Stronger than humans.
37:22Shh.
37:22Who isn't?
37:24I could crush the life from you as easy as you'd break a nail.
37:29But I need the key.
37:31Kid.
37:35Come here or suck.
37:36Leave her out of this.
37:37Not asking twice.
37:39This is between you and me.
37:41No.
37:42This is between me and my key.
37:44You just happen to be the thing in the way.
37:47And you are just the darlinest thing I ever did see in my life.
38:01What's your name, honey?
38:03Don.
38:04Don?
38:05Did you know your sister took my key, Donnie?
38:08And she won't give it back.
38:10I bet you know where she put it, don't you?
38:12She doesn't know anything.
38:13Don.
38:17I know some stuff.
38:18I bet she takes your stuff all the time without asking.
38:22Doesn't she?
38:23Where's my key, Don?
38:24Go upstairs, Don.
38:28You're always talking about stuff I'm not supposed to hear.
38:32I'm gonna figure it out, you know.
38:37Ooh, I like her.
38:39She's sassy.
38:44And I'll kill her.
38:45Okay, your mom.
38:48Okay, your friends.
38:52And I'll make you watch when I do.
38:57Just give me the key.
39:00You either have it or you know where to find it.
39:02Obviously, this is a one-time-only deal.
39:11Next time we meet,
39:13something you love dies bloody.
39:16You know you can't take me.
39:18You know you can't stop me.
39:20You know you can't stop me.
39:20But for you, who was that?
39:39Pack a bag.
39:40Oh, it's the Slayer.
39:48For a second there, I was worried.
39:57So, what's with the family outing?
40:01I need your help.
40:02Great, I need your cash.
40:05I'm serious.
40:09You have to look after them.
40:12Well, that's a boatload of manly responsibility
40:15to come flying out of nowhere.
40:17What's the matter, Slayer?
40:18You're not feeling 100%?
40:19Oh.
40:21They didn't put a chip in your head, did they?
40:23No.
40:24Be funny, if they didn't.
40:25Spike, I need an answer now.
40:28In or out.
40:32You're the only one strong enough to protect them.
40:41All right, then.
40:44Ladies.
40:46Come on in.
40:47There's plenty of blood in the fridge.
40:51Do you mean, like, real blood?
40:55What do you think?
40:57Mostly, I think, ew.
41:00Keep Don here as long as you can.
41:02I'll be back soon.
41:03Okay.
41:08I don't think I need to remind you, but...
41:10Yeah, yeah.
41:11Anything happens to him, I'll stake you good and proper.
41:14Sing me a new one sometime, eh?
41:16That bit's gone stale.
41:34I love what you've, um...
41:36neglected to do with the place.
41:39Just don't break anything.
41:46Don't make a lot of noise.
41:49Passions is coming on.
41:51Passions?
41:53Oh, do you think Timmy's really dead?
41:56Oh.
41:57No, no.
41:57She can just sew them back together.
41:59He's a doll, for God's sake.
42:01What about the wedding?
42:02I mean, there's no way they're going to go through with that.
42:09Look at them.
42:13Big, tough council members picking on the books.
42:17Fascists.
42:18Why doesn't Mr. Giles put them all out of here?
42:20Because if they deport him, they're not just destroying his career.
42:23They're condemning the man to a lifetime diet of blood sausage, bangers, and mash.
42:33Oh, your slayer is 20 minutes late and counting, Robert.
42:38Buffy will be here, I assure you.
42:41Yes.
42:43But when?
42:43Frat.
43:12Guys?
43:13Any way we could not do this?
43:43Any way we could not do this?
43:44Any way we could not do this?
43:45Any way we could not do this?
43:46Any way we could not do this?
43:47Any way we could not do this?
43:48Any way we could not do this?
43:49Any way we could not do this?
43:50Any way we could not do this?
43:51Any way we could not do this?
43:52Any way we could not do this?
43:53Any way we could not do this?
43:54Any way we could not do this?
43:55Any way we could not do this?
43:56Any way we could not do this?
43:57Any way we could not do this?
43:58Any way we could not do this?
43:59Any way we could not do this?
44:00Any way we could not do this?
44:01Any way we could not do this?
44:02Any way we could not do this?
44:03Any way we could not do this?
44:04Any way we could not do this?
44:05Let's see what you are.
44:35Or who you are?
44:39One soldier in a vast army.
44:42What army?
44:45The knights of Byzantium in ancient order are now your enemy.
44:52You work for glory?
44:54You think we ally ourselves with the beast? You must be mad.
45:00You're the ones who tried killing me.
45:01No, we were fools, three alone. But if it takes a hundred men, we send a hundred men.
45:08And if it takes a thousand, we send a thousand.
45:13Thousand?
45:14So long as you protect the key, the Brotherhood will never stop until we destroy it and you.
45:21You are the slayer, and we know what we must do.
45:29Now, be done with it.
45:33Kill us, and let legions follow.
45:36Kill us, and let legions follow.
46:06Kill us, and let legions follow.
46:20Kill us, and we keep it.
