00:00Well, he wasn't a troll then. You know, he was just a big dumb guy.
00:04Where is everyone?
00:05At the new high school. Buffy's got some kind of job there. Spike's insane in the basement.
00:11Willow?
00:13There you are.
00:15Well, we're really glad that you're back.
00:17Did you turn this nice lady's ex into a giant worm monster?
00:24Yes.
00:25I got the impression that you enjoy inflicting.
00:29Causing pain sounds really cool, I know, but turns out it's really upsetting.
00:35Didn't used to be.
00:36It's the talk of the order. They're calling you Miss Soft Serve.
00:40Excuse me?
00:41No deaths. No eviscerations. You're not goading women into anything inventive and you're not delivering when it is.
00:47It was a glitch.
00:48I am so back in the vengeance fold.
00:51My advice to you is do exactly what everyone else does all the time.
01:00Got it.
01:01Do what everyone else does. Wear what everyone else wears. Say what everyone else says.
01:06Okay.
01:07People may say something to you you don't understand.
01:10Just don't be afraid to keep your mouth shut and pretend like you know what they're saying.
01:15You know, Dawn, I've been to college before.
01:18People may say something like my protein window closes in an hour.
01:22Just nod and smile.
01:27Turns out it has something to do with fitness.
01:29Have you talked to her lately?
01:31Not since that night with the gnarled demon.
01:33And that wasn't exactly the kind of how you've been kind of talking.
01:38More the pierced his eye with something sharp kind of talking.
01:42I'm thinking I should call her.
01:46I just don't want you to get your hopes up.
01:48Hopes? Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:51There are no hopes. Anya and I are done.
01:55I love being single.
01:57I'm a strong, successful male who's giddy at the thought of all the women I will no doubt be dating in the near future.
02:03Strong, successful males say giddy?
02:08I just worry about her. That's all.
02:10Anya?
02:13Yeah, she seems so sad.
02:15She's attracting like everybody else more.
02:18Apparently it's what all the kids are doing nowadays.
02:22I'm not sure I get the sad vibe, but there's definitely a vengeance vibe worth worrying about.
02:27Oh, that? No, no, I don't worry about that.
02:31She was hurt and she just turned back to what she knew when I...
02:36You know.
02:38But that's not her anymore.
02:41I hope you're right.
02:43Well, she turned that worm guy back before any real damage happened, right?
02:48It'll just take some time.
02:51I really think she's coming around.
03:11What have I done?
03:37What have I done?
04:07What have I done?

04:59What have I done?
05:01What have I done?
05:03Ha, ha, brava crown.
05:07Oh, you're so scattered now, little barn.
05:11Olaf, what you scattered?
05:14Do look time blue like musk.
05:16Braca flica, braca flica.
05:19Saramosa will mean the troll to Stara Olaf.
05:23Trolls.
05:25Ah, they are very clean.
05:28I'm not sure what to do with you.
05:32I'm going to school.
05:34Sit, my father. Let me pass your object.
05:37I'm going to school.
05:40What I'm going to do?
05:43Go.
05:50What is this?
05:52I don't understand.
05:54What is this?
05:56What is this?
05:58I'm not sure what to do with you.
06:00If you are here, then I am not here.
06:03I don't know what to do.
06:05What if I am here?
06:07Then you have to go away.
06:09I am going away.
06:13I'm going to school.
06:15I'm going to school.
06:17I'm going to school.
06:19I'm going to school.
06:21I'm going to school.
06:23It's a very much a thing about a little bit.
06:25See, father was born.
06:27I love as a visible.
06:29He's a going to buzz.
06:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:33Shout out.
06:35The Lordy can score a stick.
06:37That's the border.
06:38That's done so many trolls.
06:41What's Carrot's score of bar motel is that girl.
06:44Too very, Padagrawan.
06:48That are in the middle.
06:50It's got to move.
06:51It's got to be there.
06:53That's good.
06:54That's good money.
06:56That's good.
06:58We'll stay over.
07:01Fun run.
07:02Think there.
07:04Yeah, it's gone.
07:05It's too good.
07:06Not all of it.
07:08India.
07:08No, this is the Iran.
07:10We've got to move it.
07:13It's got to move there.
07:16But he's good.
07:18Do you have to have this small?
07:22It's got to be this.
07:23Come on stick.
07:24Beena.
07:25We're in the off.
07:26Doh, got a legal.
07:28Doh.
07:31Perfecto.
07:32Out.
07:33I'm falling.
07:34It's near off.
07:35No, no, no, no.
07:37Oh, Lord.
07:38She's a father.
07:39Couldn't go to his band.
07:41Please.
07:43She's a father.
07:43She's a mother.
07:44She's a father.
07:45She's a mother.
07:46She's a mother.
07:47She's a mother.
07:47She's a mother.
07:48Yeah, right.
07:50So I don't want to see him.
07:51I can't believe you.
08:13I don't trust what I see anymore.
08:24I don't know how to explain it exactly.
08:29Like I've been seeing things.
08:36Drew used to see things, you know.
08:39She'd always be staring over the sky watching sheriffs burn
08:42or the heavens bleed or some nonsense.
08:47I used to stare at her and think she'd
08:49gone completely psychohomers.
08:54But she'd see the sky when we were inside.
08:59It'd make us so happy.
09:01She'd see showers.
09:03She'd see stars.
09:09Now I see her.
09:11Spike.
09:13I'm in trouble, Buffy.
09:15I can help you.
09:25I can never ask.
09:27Not after.
09:31It's different.
09:34You're different.
09:36You're different.
09:38I can never ask.
09:41Spike, it's me.
09:44It's you.
09:45And it's me.
09:46And we'll get through this.
09:51Never.
09:56We'll get through this.
10:06Never.
10:12Spike, this basement is killing you.
10:18This is the Hellmouth.
10:20There is something bad down here.
10:22Possibly everything bad.
10:30Can't hear you.
10:31Can't hear you.
10:32You have a soul?
10:34Fine.
10:35Show me.
10:36Scream mantras or all you like, pet.
10:40Get up and get out of this basement.
10:48I don't have anywhere else to go.
10:55And it's not like I've been gone for that long.
10:58And I've already done all the reading that I missed.
11:00And I can sign up for it.
11:01Willow, Willow, it's OK.
11:03We'll get you caught up in no time.
11:05Really?
11:06What am I going to say?
11:08No, I don't want my best student back in my class?
11:11Well, of course, I noticed that drop off in your grades
11:13at midterms last year.
11:14And I was concerned.
11:15Yeah, that was.
11:16But then, voila, you turned it around.
11:19And they saw your finals like, boom, magic.
11:23Yeah, similar to, but I'll.
11:24Look, come see me to an office hours tomorrow.
11:27And we'll talk about what we need to do to get you caught up.
11:30All right?
11:31OK.
11:32Thanks, Professor.
11:36Anya.
11:38Anya.
11:41Hello.
11:42Hi.
11:43What are you doing here?
11:46I'm starting back up at school again.
11:49Yeah, I can't believe how great everyone's been.
11:53I was a little worried.
11:55But I already had books and homework.
11:57They even said they'd give me periodic surprise quizzes
12:00just to make up for the ones that I missed.
12:03And what are you doing here,
12:09walking out of the fraternity house in the middle of the day?
12:13Oh, um, I have a new boyfriend now.
12:19He lives here.
12:21That's great.
12:23Yeah, we just had lots and lots of sex.
12:27OK.
12:29This is so great.
12:31I am so happy to see you've moved on.
12:37Yes, we're tremendously happy together.
12:40Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for something important.
12:45OK.
12:47See you later.
12:57Hello?
13:00Is anybody...
13:27Is anybody...
13:37I'll take him back.
13:40I'll take him back.
13:42I'll take him back.
13:47I'll take him back.
13:49I'll take him back.
13:51I'll take him back.
13:53I'll take him back.
13:55I'll take him back.
13:57I'll take him back.
13:59I'll take him back.
14:01I'll take him back.
14:03I'll take him back.
14:05I'll take him back.
14:08I'll take him back.
14:10I'll take him back.
14:12It's OK. You're OK.
14:14I'll take him back.
14:16What? What do you take back?
14:18What happened?
14:20It's going to be a party.
14:22Everyone's going to be there.
14:25Everyone's bringing a date.
14:27I'll have a great time.
14:31But it was just me and them.
14:38He broke up with me in front of them.
14:43It was a game.
14:45It was all a game.
14:48It's OK. You're OK now.
14:51They laughed.
14:53And they laughed.
14:55And I cried.
14:57And they laughed.
14:59And I yelled just once.
15:04I wish you could all feel what it's like to have your hearts ripped out.
15:10Just once.
15:12I wish.
15:17It was a game.
15:20OK.
15:22Come on. What came?
15:24What did this?
15:26A spider.
15:30Where did it go?
15:35What do you mean?
15:37A spider.
15:39Where is it now?
15:50Pat.
15:56Pat.
16:01For God's sake, shut your whimpering mouth.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:49Get that spider.
16:52I feel so suffocated.
16:58Bones.
17:04Get ahold of it.
17:07Get a hold of it.
17:10Get over here.
17:19Impressive.
17:28What is that?
17:29A woodlow transmogrific spell?
17:33Fortune's hope.
17:34Fortune's hope.
17:35But how did you get the troll element?
17:39Eelsbane.
17:41Eelsbane.
17:42Brilliant.
17:43What do you do?
17:48do? Bar matron. A load bearing bar matron. Is there any other kind? I'm sorry how
18:04rude of me. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Hoffer. I am Odd. Are you?
18:14I'm afraid you don't see your true self. You are Anyanka. I'm a patron of a family of sorts.
18:25We're vengeance demons. I'm sure you've heard of us. No, I'm sorry. Oh, well, that's quite
18:32No, don't feel bad. I don't talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don't
18:40talk to me. Except to say that your questions are irksome and perhaps you should take your
18:45furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river. I get the sense that
18:58your talents are not fully appreciated here, Anyanka. We'd like you to join us. Why do
19:03you keep calling me that? My name is Odd. Perhaps, but Anyanka is who you are. What
19:12would I have to do? What you do best. Help wronged women, punish evil men. Vengeance?
19:28Not only to those who deserve it. They all deserve it. That's where I was going with that, yeah.
19:34Hello? Willow, hey, is everything... Oh, spider demon. Wait, hold on. Are you all right?
19:58Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Wait. Okay, go ahead. No, no, no, no, no. It's all good. I'll get Xander
20:06to go. No, seriously, you just... Ripped out the heart? My God. Hey, did you get that physics
20:16class you wanted? This is just wonderful, Anyanka. There's even talk of having some
20:23sort of ceremony. I can't tell you how many times today I've heard, Anyanka is back to
20:29her old self again. Honey, what is it? What's wrong? It's nothing. I've just... There was
20:42just so much screaming. So much blood. I've forgotten how much damage a crimslaw demon
20:49could do. Oh, tell me about it. They can be feisty little guys and impossible to house
20:55train. I mean, once they start nesting, forget... Are you okay? Oh, did something happen? I guess
21:05I'm just a little rusty. I didn't think it would hit me like this. Oh, sweetie, this is perfectly
21:14normal. It's a reflex. You'll get over it in no time. Trust me. Oh, Hallie. I can't tell you how
21:25good it is. Thank goodness you're here. Oh, sweetie. Of course. It's just lately, with everything
21:32that's been going on, I've had trouble even remembering. Get out, Lemon Drop. If you think
21:42I'm gonna... Get out. It's okay. Okay. If you need anything, you holler.
22:01Anya, you have to stop this.
22:03Do you know what they did to her? Do you? It was a game. They were humiliating her.
22:17Anya, listen to me. You're in trouble. You know it. I'm here to help you.
22:27You're here to... Well, that's great, Willow. Flayed anybody lately, have you?
22:34How quickly they forget. I haven't forgotten one second of it.
22:42What do you want? I want to help you. They got what they deserved. No, they...
22:48I am a vengeance demon. Do you understand that? No. Try.
22:58They got what they deserved.
23:00Thanks for sidekicking. I didn't want to trouble Willow. I figure she's got enough to do,
23:04first day back and all. Are you kidding? We're doing vent work at the site. Anything's better
23:10than breathing free on for eight hours. So, should I say what this thing is? Some sort of spider
23:16demon-y thingy. She had to go pretty quickly. I think she had to sign up for classes or something.
23:21Ah, yes. There is little that can distract the Willow when she's on the hunt for the mighty
23:25I don't know. I think she's a little more nervous than she was letting on.
23:34How big did she say this thing was? She didn't, but I can't imagine she'd send us out if it wasn't...
23:43The heart's completely ripped out. This is our guy. Or a copycat spider demon.
23:49This is our guy. Or a copycat spider demon.
23:55So, what's this black stuff? I don't know.
24:01Oh, sticky! Willow said I was a spider demon. Beats his webbing. This isn't springing high
24:08flying fun. Xander?
24:18Is that it? I can't tell.
24:22There's definitely something moving up there. Maybe we can smell lure it. Xander!
24:38Are you okay?
24:52Buffy, where'd it go?
24:56I think we need more swords. Uh-huh. Okay, so we go home, pick up more swords,
25:02and then some sort of spider demon protection amulet. We come back and...
25:08Or?
25:16I'm more concerned with where that thing came from. There are more of those spider
25:20demons running around. We need to know about it. We should hit the research. Find out if...
25:27I know where it came from.
25:28How many? 10? 12?
25:36What were you planning on telling us? I'm telling you now.
25:41Great. Thank you. Willow, it's on you. How could you let us... How could you not have told us?
25:53Xander. How could you not have told me?
25:56Xander, it's okay. She didn't tell us for a reason.
26:05She didn't tell us because she knows what I have to do.
26:12I have to kill Anya.
26:25I swear I'm in awe of you. Oh, stop. Oh, I will not.
26:39I grant wishes. It's all inside the girl. I just bring it out. Yes, I'm sure this is what she had
26:48in mind. Well, I don't know about her mind, but it was in her heart. Besides, Russia was ready
26:56to explode. All we did is just give it a little push. What should we do with the rest of our
27:00evening? I hear they're going to raze the winter mansion. Well, I thought we'd head down to Madame
27:06Dubisoft's. No better spot for vengeance than a brothel. It's always work, work, work with you.
27:13Well, of course. What else is there? What else is there? Why, the whole world, for one. Darling,
27:21take a look around. There's a lot to see. There's a revolution going on outside that you're somewhat
27:27responsible for. Aren't you the teeniest bit interested? Well, what is there to be interested
27:34in? The worker will overthrow absolutism and lead the proletariat to a victorious communist revolution.
27:41Resulting in socio-economic paradise on earth. It's common sense, really. I have better things
27:48to worry about. But on Yonka, there's a whole world out there. Yes, filled with wronged women
27:56who need my help. You're talking about work. I'm talking about life. Vengeance is what I do,
28:03Vengeance is what I do, Halfric. I don't need anything else. Vengeance is what I am.
28:14She's not the Anya that you knew, Xander. She's a demon. That doesn't mean you have to kill her.
28:20Don't act like this is easy for me. You know it's not. There are other options.
28:26I've considered them. When? Just now? Took you all of ten seconds to decide to kill one of your
28:34best friends? The thought that it might come to this has occurred to me before. It's occurred to
28:42you too. But we can change what she did. Fix it. These are mystical deaths, right? There has to be
28:52something. I don't have anywhere near that kind of power. I didn't have that kind of power when...
28:59and I don't think I trust the power I do have. It's okay.
29:06Xander, I know this is hard for you to hear, but it's what I have to do.
29:13Hard for me to hear? Buffy, you want to kill Anya. I don't want to. Then don't.
29:20This isn't new ground for us. When our friends go all crazy and start killing people,
29:25we help them. Sitting right here. I'm sorry, but it's true. It's different. Because you don't care
29:33about her the same way I do. Buffy, I still love her. I know. And that's why you can't see this for
29:44what it really is. Willow was different. She's a human. Anya's a demon. And you're the Slayer.
29:57I see now how it's all very simple. It is never simple. No, of course not. You know,
30:08if there's a mass murdering demon that you're, oh say, boning, then it's all gray area. Spike
30:15was harmless. He was helping. He had no choice. And Anya did. She chose to become a demon.
30:24Twice. You have no idea what she's going through. I don't care what she's going through. Oh,
30:29of course not. You think we haven't all seen this before? The part where you just cut us all out?
30:37Just step away from everything human and act like you're the law? If you knew what I felt. I killed
30:43Angel. Do you even remember that? I would have given up everything I had to be with.
31:00I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life.
31:05And I put a sword through his heart because I had to. That all worked out okay. Do you remember
31:14cheering me on? Both of you. Do you remember giving me Willow's message? Kick his ass?
31:24I never said that. This is different. It is always different. It's always complicated.
31:32And at some point, someone has to draw the line. And that is always going to be me.
31:39You get down on me for cutting myself off. But in the end, the slayer is always cut off.
31:48There's no mystical guidebook. No all knowing counsel. Human rules don't apply.
31:55There's only me. I am the law.
32:04There has to be another way. Then please find it.
32:25So
32:42I can't. I'm sorry.
32:54So
33:03So
33:13Be atimoth sit in nomina dehofrenis.
33:19So
33:39Behold dehofren. Lord of Arashmaha. He that turns the air to blood and rains.
33:46So
33:48Miss Rosenberg, how lovely to see you again. Have you done something with your hair?
33:56Hello, de Hofren. I figured I'd be hearing from you soon. The flaying of Warren Mears
34:03are truly inspired. That was Watercooler Vengeance. Yes, Lloyd has a sketch of it on his wall.
34:11That's not me anymore. Is that right? So I didn't feel your presence earlier today.
34:19I didn't feel a bit of the old you. We need to talk about Anya.
34:26Very well, let's talk about Anyanka.
34:42I thought I might find you here.
34:46Have you forced yourself to look at the bodies yet?
34:50What do you want? I want to help you.
34:52Everyone is so considerate today. I should have slaughtered people weeks ago.
35:05I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I did to you. Everything I put you through.
35:10Thank you. All better. Thank goodness you got here in time. You don't understand.
35:17This isn't an intervention. Buffy's coming to kill you.
35:24She's coming to try. Did everybody have their crazy flakes today?
35:28You guys are friends. How could you talk like this? I have a job to do, and so does Buffy.
35:35Xander, you've always seen what you wanted to, but she knew sooner or later it would come to this.
35:47Buffy, get out of here. Get out of my way, Xander. No. Get out of her way, Xander.
36:01This is getting to be a pattern with you, Buffy. Are there any friends of yours left you haven't tried to kill?
36:16Come on, Buffy. Don't you have a clever retort for me?
36:47Anya, I'm sorry. You're apologizing to me? What fight are you watching?
37:07Or is this like one of your little pop culture references I don't get? Because I'm a vengeance.
37:16I just want a happy ending.
37:40Honey? Honey?
37:44What? I'm awake. I'm okay. Honey, was that weird?
37:55That thing earlier with the singing and the coconuts? What?
38:02No, it's fine.
38:25Are you still hungry? Because I'd be.
39:03But on the whole, I've had no path. I like to pull. I'm good with math. But who am I?
39:11Now I reply. I'm the missus. I will be his missus.
39:26Missus Anya, Christina, Emanuela, Jenkins, Paris.
39:40What's the point of loving? I mean, except for the sweaty part. What's the point of losing your heart?
39:50And maybe if you're lucky, being a pair makes you twice as tall. Maybe you're not losing at all.
40:04No need to cover up my heart, plus see above free sweaty part.
40:10So maybe love is pretty smart, and so am I. I found my guy.
40:20And I'll be missus. I'll be his missus.
40:31Missus Anya, lame-ass, made-up, maiden name Paris.
40:37We'll never part, not if we can. And if we start, then here's my plan.
40:51I'll show him what bliss is, welcome him with kisses, cause this is a missus who misses her now.
41:00Well, he's my Xander, and he's awfully swell. It makes financial sense as well.
41:08Although we can be, I'll never tell. Just stand aside. Here comes the bride.
41:18I'll be missus. I will be his missus.
41:30I will be...
41:42Anya.
41:48I've forgotten how much swords through the chest hurt.
42:18You know better than that, Buffy.
42:23Takes a lot more to kill a vengeance demon. I'm just getting started.
42:49Stop trying to save me, Xander.
43:04Oh, please don't mind me. Continue with whatever it was you were doing.
43:14Oh, breathtaking. It's like somebody slaughtered an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog.
43:24Easy now, I'd be gone before you could swim.
43:31Isn't that just like a slayer? Solving all her problems by sticking things with sharp objects.
43:40I talked to your friend, Miss Rosenberg. She's a firebrand. I have high hopes for her.
43:47Stay away from Willow. Oh, he's gallant, isn't he? I understand what you saw in him.
43:57Miss Rosenberg seems to think Anyanka would be better suited outside the vengeance fold.
44:02I think we already know what Lady Haxaway wants. And the young man,
44:10he sees with the eyeballs of love. But I'm not sure if anyone's bothered to find out what Anyanka
44:17herself really wants. Her name is Anya. Actually, funny historical sidebar, her original name was...
44:26I want to take it back.
44:28I'm sorry, what was that?
44:32I want to take it back.
44:37I want to undo what I did.
44:42Hmm. You want to take it back.
44:47Must be 12 bodies in there. Such a thing not easily done.
44:54But not impossible. You're a big girl, Anyanka. You understand how this works.
45:04The proverbial scales must balance. In order to restore the lives of the victims,
45:10the fates require a sacrifice. The life and soul of a vengeance demon.
45:17Do it. Wait! Stay out of this, Xander. Okay, right. That seems smart.
45:26You just said you have to die. Perhaps there's some sort of alternate price.
45:33Xander, you can't help me.
45:41I'm not even sure there's a me to help.
45:44I understand the price. Do it.
45:49You're sure? This is your wish?
45:54This is my wish.
45:59Undo what I did.
46:04Very well.
46:05On you.
46:10Kali?
46:18Kali?
46:21Kali?
46:24Kali?
46:27Kali?
46:31Kali?
46:34Kali?
46:41Who did you think you were dealing with? Did you think it would be that easy to get away?
46:48Why? Because you wished it. But she was yours. The way you were mine?
46:56Haven't I taught you anything, Anya? Never go for the kill when you can go for the pain.
47:03Hold him back, Slayer. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.
47:09I've got plenty of girls. There will always be vengeance demons. But now you, Anya, you're out.
47:18Congratulations. Your wish is granted. You should have killed me.
47:26Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.
47:28But from beneath you, it devours. Be patient. All good things in time.
47:59Go. Check on the boys.
48:14Anya, wait.
48:17Xander, please, just go away.
48:22Whatever's between us doesn't matter.
48:28You shouldn't be alone in this.
48:33Yes, I should.
48:38My whole life,
48:41I've just clung to whatever came along.
48:47Well, speaking as a clingy, I kind of didn't mind.
48:50Thanks for everything.
49:20Xander.
49:30What if I'm really nobody?
49:36Don't be a dope.
49:40I'm a dope.
49:45Sometimes.
49:46That's a start.
50:16So
50:46you
50:48know.
51:14Grr. Arrgh.
