00:00We killed him. We gotta get out of this town. Mexico. We should go to Mexico.
00:05How did you do it? What is she talking about? Nothing. Let's go. I can see you. You got your soul back.
00:12Cassie. Cassie. Cassie. This is just the beginning of horror and bloodshed. From beneath you it devours.
01:00Night falls. I fall. And where were you? And where were you?
01:14Warm skin. Wolf grin. And where were you?
01:24And where were you? I fell into the moon. And it covered you in blue.
01:38And it covered you in blue. I fell into the moon. Can I make it right? Can I spend the night?
01:54I tied inside. The air is dew. And where were you? While I died. And where were you?
02:24And where were you? I crawled out of the world. When you said I shouldn't stay. I crawled out of the world.
02:48Can I make it right? Can I spend the night? Alone. Here we go.
03:18I crawled out of the world.
03:48I crawled out of the world.
04:08You keep circling around. Just drive straight in. You shut up. Gotta keep it low pro.
04:23You're just scared. Of course I'm scared. Last time we were here 33.3% of us were flayed alive.
04:30Calm down. No one's getting flayed alive. We've got a plan. We're gonna fix all that.
04:39We should have stayed in Mexico. I didn't like it there. Everybody spoke Mexicoan.
04:47You could have learned it. Learned the entire Klingon dictionary in two and a half weeks.
04:53That had much clearer transitive and intransitive rules, okay?
04:58Besides, I can't keep having those nightmares. Me neither.
05:11It eats you starting with your bottom.
05:16I'm gonna make it right.
05:18We're outlaws with hearts of gold.
05:35Oh.
05:47Anchovies, anchovies, you're so delicious. I love you more than all the other fishes.
05:53Oh, she'll think it's fun. Taste my blade, spawn of evil.
06:54So
07:10cool.
07:23So, this is the UC library, huh? It's so big.
07:36Hey. I know you. I mean, I saw your picture. Yeah, I know. It's kind of weird because we never
07:48really met. Or kind of weird because you're really dead. Yeah, well. Did I fall asleep?
07:57No, no. I'm here. I mean, not, not here. Here. It's kind of complicated.
08:06Kind of ironic too, you know. I write all that intense poetry about the end and
08:13here I am again, chatting you up. Yeah, ironic. I knew this would completely freak you out. It's
08:23just, she asked that I come talk to you. It's important. She? Don't worry. I'm not
08:33gonna hurt you or anything. Who asked you? What are you talking about?
08:37She says she still sings.
08:42What? Remember that time on the bridge when you sang to each other?
08:49Well, she says even though you can't hear it, she still sings to you.
08:55She still sings to you.
09:00Tara? Oh, come on. She is so dead. Well, he's clearly a psychopath.
09:11If so. What? No, that's not Tom Hanks.
09:20Well, what channel are you on?
09:25Okay, there it is again. I keep hearing this like thumping.
09:38No, I can't tell if it's...
09:47Kid, are you there?
09:51Is there a storm?
09:55No.
10:25Buffy? Buffy Summers?
10:39Have we? Oh, Webs. Holden Webster.
10:45We went to school together. European history. I let you crib off my Vaclav Havel essay that time.
10:50You really don't remember me? Sure. Sure.
11:20Oh, God. Oh, God.
11:30Oh, God.
11:42Don?
11:56Okay. Junior year, spring production of Pippin. I did the lighting design.
12:06I didn't see it. But you helped me move the lighting board and I dropped it on your foot.
12:13Right foot. Yes, of course. History class. It's all coming back. Sorry.
12:20Oh, well, you know, it's not like I was a big part of your life or anything.
12:24No, I just, I didn't recognize you. You know, your face, all demon and I think you filled out a lot.
12:32Oh, yeah. Well, I got into Taekwondo in a big way at Dartmouth.
12:36So that's great. Yeah. So what have you been up to? Well, apparently dying.
12:47No, but other stuff, you know, majoring in psych, really liking that.
12:54Took a year off to do an internship at the Sunnydale Mental Hospital.
12:58Oh, wow. That's got to be a popular joint. Yeah, I keep telling them we ought to get a
13:06velvet rope and a bouncer. Hey, you remember Jason Wheeler? You know, Crazy Jay? Oh, yeah.
13:13He always had that shtick. Yeah, I'm crazy. I'm crazy. How is he? Crazy.
13:19He's been in the chronic ward since graduation.
13:22Not really that funny, I guess. Ironic, sort of. Yeah.
13:34Whoa, did my face just change? Yeah, you look human now. You can do that, go back and forth.
13:41Oh, so I'm a vampire. How weird is that? Sorry. No, no. Feels great. Strong.
13:52I'm connected to a powerful, all-consuming evil that's going to suck the world into a fiery
13:57oblivion. How about you? Not so much connected. No, no. I mean,
14:07you know, with a stake and the cross, you do this kind of thing a lot?
14:12I'm the Slayer. It's sort of a thing. So, what? You, like, fight vampires professionally, or?
14:22I don't get paid. It's more like a calling, since even in school.
14:30I heard a lot of rumors about you back then. You were all mysterious.
14:34I was? Well, you were never around. A lot of kids thought you were dating some really old guy,
14:40or that you were just heavy religious. Scott Hope said you were gay.
14:45What? I dated that ringworm. He says that about every girl he breaks up with.
14:50And then, last year, big surprise, he comes out.
14:56Man, do I know how to pick him. So, all that time you were a Slayer.
15:04The. The, like, as in the only one?
15:08Pretty much. So, when you said not connected,
15:16that was kind of a telling statement, wasn't it? Ah, psych 101 alert.
15:20Well, I'm just saying. Yeah, what I really need is emotional therapy
15:24from the evil dead. Hey, it was your phrase.
15:26I'm connected. I'm connected to a lot of people, okay?
15:30No, no, I hear you. I really am.
15:35Buffy, come on, pick up. I don't know what to do.
15:44Do it again. I heard you.
16:00Okay.
16:23Why are you doing this?
16:25Why are you? I don't understand.
16:49Hello?
16:55Once for yes. Once for yes.
17:05Twice for no. Mom?
17:19Mom? It's you?
17:25Are you okay?
17:38You're not. Mom?
17:44Mommy? Are you alone?
17:54Why are you doing this?
18:06Get up, you wuss. I have shin splints.
18:36Maybe we should turn on the light. No, they'll see it from outside.
18:43Right. Maybe we should go get Buffy.
18:49No way. We should just tell her what we know about
18:52the sealed damsel, Thor. Think, McFly.
18:55Why would she believe us without any proof? We've got her empty-handed.
18:58We'll be cooling our heels in the clink in a bell's microsecond.
19:02I ain't going back to the big house. That place changes a man.
19:07That's why we need proof. Think of it as a trial by fire, a quest.
19:15Una cuesta. Find it. We alert the Slayer.
19:19We help her destroy it. We save Sunnydale.
19:24Then we join her gang and possibly hang out at her house.
19:28Right. Okay. What do we do? I think we should
19:35find the principal's office and work our way down from there.
19:38Okay. Um, uh, you go check down the hallway and I'll go over there.
19:48Check communications?
19:51Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check.
20:06Echo two to Echo one. This is Echo one. Go ahead.
20:12Do you think they'll really let us join their gang?
20:22Nice shot.
20:28There you are. I'm scared out of my friggin' gourd here.
20:32Take it easy. Take it easy. Do you have any idea how hard it's been to act this cool?
20:37Calm down. You're doing great. All specs are within parameters.
20:42You keep leaving. I hate it when you leave me.
20:46One time you died and I ended up a Mexican.
20:50We've been over this. Now that death thing was all part of the master plan.
20:56Come on. If you strike me down...
21:02I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
21:06Of course. Do you think maybe Willow could kill me too?
21:11Hey, don't worry. A short round pulls off his end of the bargain.
21:15We'll both become gods.
21:21That boy is our last hope.
21:25No. There is another.
21:29Wait, really? Who's our last hope?
21:32I was just going with it. It was a thing. No, he's our last hope.
21:37Tara? Is it you?
21:43She's sorry she couldn't come herself.
21:47Why didn't she? I don't understand. I mean, if you can manifest yourself.
21:52She just can't. Why not? I don't understand.
21:57Because of what you did. What?
22:02You killed people. You can't see her.
22:08It's just how it is. I'm sorry.
22:13But she's talking to you.
22:18And she can hear me?
22:23Tara?
22:28I miss you. I miss you so much.
22:34Can she hear me?
22:40What's happening? Did she say anything?
22:46What? Did she go away?
22:51She's crying. No. No, don't cry.
22:57Don't cry, sweetie. Talk to me.
23:01She misses you too. She wishes she could touch you.
23:06Me too. Love me too.
23:11Oh, God, Tara. It hurts so much.
23:17Every day. It's like this giant hole.
23:24And it's not getting better. It will.
23:29It can. How?
23:34You're gone. But you're not.
23:39You're strong, like an Amazon, remember?
23:45I do. I remember.
24:04So, you meet someone. You form a bond.
24:09But it never lasts.
24:14Do you mean all relationships or just yours?
24:19My parents weren't exactly the paragon of stay-together-iness.
24:24Maybe that's part of it.
24:29I think there are people out there who can make it.
24:34I just target the impossible ones with deadly accuracy.
24:39You think you do that on purpose?
24:44Maybe you're trying to protect yourself.
24:49Protecting myself from heartbreak, misery,
24:54sexual violence and possible death?
24:59Not so much. From committing.
25:04I commit. I'm committed. I'm a committee.
25:09So it's them. You're reaching out. They're just not coming through.
25:14It's different. I think you're confusing me because you're evil.
25:19There's some pain here, which I do kind of enjoy because I'm evil now.
25:24But you should just ease up on yourself.
25:29It's not exactly like you have the patent on bad relationships.
25:34Wouldn't it be cool if I did?
25:39My girlfriend at college, she's so sweet.
25:44She's a vampire, just so we can be together forever.
25:49Sire. What?
25:54The word. When you turn a human into a vampire, it's you. Sire.
25:59Cool. It's a noun, too.
26:04Oh, I have so much to learn. Come on, isn't this insane?
26:09I talked to you in high school, and now we're like mortal enemies.
26:14Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we became nemeses? Is that how you say the word?
26:19We're gonna have to fight to the death, aren't we?
26:24It's the time-honored custom. Wow.
26:29Reality just shows up sometimes, doesn't it?
26:34Man, I kind of get it. I'm looking for a fight. And, oh, it's nothing personal.
26:39Oh, no, I mean, you've been great. And fun catching up.
26:44I haven't really kept in contact with many of my friends from high school.
26:49Guess I'll be looking them up pretty soon. Yeah.
26:54Hey, I don't mean to be Count Budinsky here, but you just don't seem as thrilled.
26:59Is it because we're gonna fight?
27:04It's because I'm gonna win.
27:09Hello. Two years of taekwondo and vampire strength.
27:14I think somebody's counting their chickens. You're not leaving this graveyard.
27:19Can't let you. Does the word superiority complex mean anything to you?
27:24I'm not gonna kill a bunch of people. You know I'm sworn to...
27:29No, no, I get the battle against evil. That's not the issue. There is no issue. Don't issue me.
27:34Just answer me this. Whose fault was your parents' divorce?
27:39Okay, you know what? This is beyond evil. This is insane troll logic.
27:44What do my parents have to do with it? I'm just curious. Your opinion.
27:49Off the top of your head.
27:54My dad? Uh-huh.
27:59He cheated. I'm...
28:04I think he cheated. So...
28:09Of all of these relationships of yours that you knew subconsciously
28:14were totally doomed, whose fault is that?
28:19It's incredibly different.
28:24I was just wondering, is it possible, even a little bit,
28:29that the reason you have trouble connecting to guys
28:34is because you think maybe they're not worth it?
28:39Or do you think you're better than them?
28:44Hey, there's that bloodlust I was looking for. Struck a nerve.
28:49I'm gonna strike a nerve cluster in a minute you don't get off this.
28:54I don't remember you being this annoying. You don't remember me at all. Yes, I do.
28:59Yeah, like, after 30 minutes of reminding. And I don't take it personally,
29:04but if it's all destiny, who could live with that for 7 years and not feel superior?
29:09I'm not. My God, if anything, I...
29:14What?
29:19I just...
29:24If you knew what I've done,
29:29you'd tell me.
29:34My best friends don't even.
29:39You'd laugh you heard some of the things I've done to them.
29:44Buffy, I'm here to kill you, not to judge you.
29:49The last guy I was with got really...
29:54I behaved like a monster.
29:59Treated him like...
30:04But at the same time, I...
30:09I let him completely take me over.
30:14Do things to me that...
30:19I'm sorry.
30:24I didn't mean to get all true confessions on you there.
30:29I know what's wrong with me.
30:34There's nothing wrong with you.
30:39Everyone's got issues.
30:49You're a bitch.
30:54What?
30:59I'm going to kill you just a little bit more than usual.
31:04Oh, come on!
31:09I mean, we had a moment. You opened up. It was really sweet.
31:14We had a moment, you opened up, it was really sweet, it made me want to bite you, I'm sorry
31:19if I overstepped my bounds, I'm just new to this whole mortal enemy stuff.
31:27Pretty fast learner though, right?
31:39I hear you, I hear you breathing, are you hurting my mother, are you keeping her from
32:00coming back to me, mom, I see you, I'm coming towards you, okay, she's trying to talk to
32:20me, get off her and let her talk to me, the ice, get out, no, I'm coming, I'm coming,
32:48no, she's my mother, I'm staying, I'm staying in high school again, the army wishes I could
33:05go back, everything's shifting around, I feel like we're in Hellraiser, I hate pinhead,
33:12you see that, circled all the way around, maybe we should start over, there it is, what?
33:26Are you sure?
33:30Yeah.
33:34You know, I think you may be right, if this lines up, what we're looking for should be right
33:51under there, see, you're dead, that enough of a moment for you?
34:10Okay, but are you killing me because I'm evil or because you opened up?
34:21No!
34:30What is wrong with you?
34:33Nothing, I got no worries, I'm dead, biggest thing on my mind is whether or not Trisha
34:39Waldman came to my funeral or not, you remember her, oh, biteable, see, this is what I hate about
34:47you vampires, sex and death and love and pain, it's all the same damn thing to you, well, you
34:54know, it's kind of a guy thing, we talk about nailing a girl, there's all this, no, it is not
35:00the same with vampires, it is completely, believe me, I know, oh, my God, oh, your God, what? Oh,
35:13well, you know, not my God because I defy him and all of his works, does he exist?
35:19Is there a word on that, by the way? Nothing solid.
35:24I keep getting off topic because my mind is just racing here, all right, I'll make a deal with you,
35:32we fight to the death, great, that last fight was just exhilarating and I actually had a move
35:39coming up to block that stick but you have to answer one question and if I'm right,
35:45I get to ask anything, no secrets, no defensiveness, anything I want to know.
35:54What's your question?
35:56Your last relationship, was it with a vampire?
36:11I don't know where to start, after Warren shot you, you know all about that, what happened?
36:18What happened? It was horrible, I was horrible, I lost myself, the regular me.
36:29You were grieving.
36:32A lot of people grieve, they don't make with the flying, I hurt so many people.
36:39It was the power.
36:41I am the power, it's in me, did I mention the random destruction of property?
36:48The magic box is not so much a box. The power is bigger than you are.
36:54I know. Things are more clear where Tara is, where we are.
37:01We can see your path and you have to stop, you can't use magic again, not ever.
37:09Black magic, of course, but Giles says it isn't as simple as quitting it all cold turkey.
37:18It's too dangerous, you can't take the chance that you'll lose control.
37:23I don't want to, I can't, I never want to cause that kind of pain.
37:30Of course you don't.
37:32So I won't, I'm gonna be okay.
37:39She says.
37:42What?
37:44You're not gonna be okay, you're gonna kill everybody.
38:09We almost got this thing uncovered.
38:12Yep.
38:15I hope Buffy'll know how to destroy it, 361927, that's it.
38:21That was my locker combination, it's been bugging me all night.
38:27Dude, the last few years trying to forget about high school,
38:31why are you trying so hard to remember it?
38:33I don't know, I guess I miss it, don't you?
38:37Yeah, I really miss it.
38:38I'm serious, I really miss it.
38:41Time goes by and everything drops away, all the cruelty, all the pain, all the humiliation,
38:50it all washes away.
38:53I miss my friends, I miss my enemies, I miss the people I talk to every day,
39:00I miss the people who never knew I existed, I miss them all.
39:04I want to talk to them, you know, I want to find out how they're doing,
39:10I want to know what's going on in their lives.
39:14You know what, they don't want to talk to you, all those people you just mentioned,
39:21not one of them is sitting around going, I wonder what Jonathan's up to right now.
39:28Not one of them cares about you.
39:31Well, I still care about them, that's why I'm here.
39:49I know you're there, I will cast you out.
39:55My mother needs to talk to me.
40:03I cast you from this place, it is your poison and your pain.
40:13It is the skin that is cut from your flesh.
40:16And the joke is, he loved me.
40:22I mean, in his own sick, sad way.
40:28He loved me.
40:32He loved me.
40:36He loved me.
40:40He loved me.
40:42I mean, in his own sick, soulless way, he really did care for me.
40:50But I didn't want to be loved.
40:54Didn't you?
40:58I have all this power, I didn't ask for it, I don't deserve it.
41:07It's like I wanted to be punished.
41:15I wanted to hurt like I thought I deserved.
41:23I sort of think, you know, this is complicated, if you'd rather just fight.
41:31Tell me.
41:33I feel like I'm worse than anyone.
41:39Honestly, I'm beneath them.
41:43My friends, my boyfriends, they feel like I'm not worthy of their love.
41:53Because even though they love me, it doesn't mean anything.
42:00Because their opinions don't matter.
42:04They don't know.
42:08They haven't been through what I've been through.
42:12They're not the Slayer.
42:16I am.
42:20Sometimes I feel...
42:24This is awful.
42:30I feel like I'm better than them.
42:36Superior.
42:42Until you can't win.
42:46And I thought I was diabolical.
42:48Or at least I planned to be.
42:52You do have a superiority complex, and you've got an inferiority complex about it.
42:59Kudos.
43:03It doesn't make any sense.
43:05Oh.
43:07It makes every kind of sense.
43:11And it all adds up to you feeling alone.
43:15But, Buffy, everybody feels alone.
43:19Everybody is.
43:21Until you die.
43:23Speaking of...
43:27You ready for our little death match?
43:31I suppose.
43:35Oh.
43:37Thanks for listening.
43:41You know, there's some things you can only tell a stranger.
43:45You're not a stranger.
43:48But that stuff with Spike, it's pretty...
43:50Hold it.
43:52What?
43:54Did you say Spike?
43:56Did you say Spike?
44:16I cast you out
44:18with every prayer
44:20from every god that walked the earth
44:22in prophecy!
44:26I cast you out
44:28with the strength
44:30of those who love me!
44:32I cast you out
44:34with the strength
44:36I have inside me!
44:38And I cast you out
44:40into the void!
44:42That's right!
44:44Die, you bastard!
44:56Oh.
44:59Oh.
45:25Ma?
45:29Speaking of what?
45:31That's why I came.
45:33We needed to warn you.
45:35You saw my path?
45:37What do you know?
45:39What did you see?
45:41You don't want to know what we saw.
45:43Oh, God.
45:45But if you stop completely,
45:47no more magic.
45:49Right. Right. Stop.
45:51But what about Giles?
45:53He made it seem like it was just as dangerous
45:55for me to quit completely.
45:57I'll go off the deep end again.
45:59You can't.
46:01If you do so much as another spell...
46:03I tried to stop.
46:05I tried.
46:07What if I can't do this?
46:09Don't think that way.
46:11Well, how can I not?
46:13You're telling me I'm gonna murder all my friends.
46:15I'm not strong.
46:17I'm not an Amazon.
46:19I'm just me.
46:23There is one thing.
46:27One thing you could do to stop it.
46:29What? Anything.
46:31And you could see her.
46:33You wouldn't have to talk through me.
46:35Tara.
46:37And so you won, isn't it?
46:39Of course.
46:41So go. Be with her.
46:43Everybody will be safe and you'll be together again.
46:47It's not that bad.
46:51Really.
46:53It's just like going to sleep.
46:57Who are you?
46:59What do you mean?
47:01How do you know Spike?
47:03What do you mean, how?
47:05He was the guy that, um...
47:07Oh, what's the word?
47:09Sired.
47:11Yeah. He was the guy that sired me.
47:14Things are coming, Don.
47:16Listen.
47:18Things are on their way.
47:20I love you and I love Buffy.
47:22But she won't be there for you.
47:26What?
47:28I don't know.
47:30I don't know.
47:32I don't know.
47:34I don't know.
47:36I don't know.
47:38I don't know.
47:40I don't know.
47:43What?
47:45Why are you...
47:47When it's bad,
47:49Buffy won't choose you.
47:51She'll be against you.
47:59No!
48:01No, don't go!
48:03Please don't go!
48:05No!
48:27The suicide thing was too far, huh?
48:30Hmm.
48:32You seem so right.
48:34Tell me who you are.
48:36I stand by my opinion.
48:38The world would be a better place
48:40if you took a razor blade to your wrist.
48:42Stop.
48:44I can see it now.
48:48Candlelight.
48:50The indigo girls playing.
48:52Picture of your dead girlfriend
48:54on your bloody lap.
48:56Stop it.
48:58Oh, baby, you left
49:00such a big hole.
49:02It hurts so bad.
49:06You don't know hurt.
49:08This last year is gonna seem like cake
49:10after what I put you and your friends through
49:12and I am not a fan of easy death.
49:14Fact is,
49:16the whole good versus evil
49:18balancing the scales thing,
49:20I'm over it.
49:22I'm done with the mortal coil.
49:24But believe me,
49:27I'm looking for a big finish.
49:31From beneath you it devours.
49:33Oh, not it.
49:37Me.
49:57I fell into the moon
50:13and it covered you in blue.
50:21I fell into the moon
50:27Can I make it right?
50:31Can I spend the night
50:39alone?
50:57Grr.
50:59Arrgh.
