00:00I don't know what exactly, but something's brewing, and it's so big on the attempt, it makes you and me look like little bitty puzzle pieces.
00:09You're gonna live in the small room over there. I know, it looks like a closet, but it's a room now.
00:13And I hate this plan. I just don't understand when his problems begin to be problems.
00:18The school basement is making him crazy. We can't just leave him there. It's just, things are different now.
00:25He has a soul.
00:27Mom?
00:31Get off her, and let her talk to me!
00:37Things are coming, Dawn.
00:39When it's bad, Buffy won't choose you.
00:43No!
00:45You don't know hurt. This last year is gonna seem like cake after what I put you and your friends through, and I am not a fan of easy death.
00:54Fact is, the whole good versus evil, balancing the scales thing, I'm over it.
01:00But believe me, I'm going for a big finish.
01:09From beneath you, it devours.
01:13What do you mean? How do you know Spike?
01:16What do you mean, how? He was the guy that, um, oh, what's the word?
01:21Sired.
01:22Yeah. He was the guy that sired me.
01:31Okay, okay, I'm coming. I'm up. It's 4.30 in the morning. Sweet Mama Lucian.
01:39Who is it?
01:40It's me.
01:43Buffy?
01:44Where's Spike?
01:45Spike?
01:46Spike! Xander, is he here?
01:48No, he's out. Uh, I don't know.
01:52He's not here?
01:53No, he's not.
01:54He's not here?
01:55No, he's not.
01:56He's not here?
01:57No, he's not.
01:58No, he's out. At least he was when I got home.
02:01Any idea where he went?
02:03I don't know. Creature of the night, Buffy. He's probably out creature-ing.
02:09Why? What happened?
02:13Is he in trouble?
02:16I hope not.
02:29Hmm.

03:30Hmm.
03:31Hmm.
03:32Hmm.
03:33Hmm.
03:34Hmm.
04:27You
04:57Oh
05:28Oh
05:34She's not here
05:38Dawn oh my god
05:43What do you
05:46John what happened here? What?
05:50You're cut
05:52I'm all right. Let me see make sure
05:57I saw mom
05:59What
06:02She was here willow I saw her she was here and she spoke to me
06:11No, she was she was right here and
06:15And then she wasn't she it wasn't her
06:21What well at least I don't think
06:24I
06:27Saw something too, and it looked like
06:32Someone else
06:34But it wasn't I
06:36Don't understand. It's the big bad on the one we knew was coming
06:46That's what she said
06:48mom, she said that things were coming that
06:51things were on their way and
06:55That she loved us
06:59So it had to be her right I mean her warning was true I
07:05Don't know. I
07:08Just don't think we can trust anything right now
07:12So maybe the evil thing messing with you was here, too
07:17Only maybe it was the thing trying to keep mom away
07:20Because she was trying to protect me
07:26Maybe
07:29Why would a vampire's lie about who sired him
07:33What's that some kind of status symbol for the undead my sire can beat up your sire?
07:40I'm not saying I don't believe them. You just don't want to
07:51Okay, let's look at this objectively
07:54Figure it out in a cold and personal CSI like manner because we're a couple of carpet fibers away from the case
08:02Spike can't be the one doing this he couldn't if he wanted to why not well for one thing pain chip remember
08:09He can't hurt anyone. It didn't stop him from hurting you
08:13Hey
08:14objective here
08:16Maybe the chips not working anymore. Oh, it's working. I've seen it is it or is that what spike wants you to think?
08:25You think it's an act I don't really know
08:28And neither do you know? Mm-hmm. There's something I can feel it. He's he's different. He's changed
08:38And if it is an act then the Oscar goes to
08:46Well, this can't be good you heard this out the trouble
08:53No
08:55No trouble. I I was just I mean we were just
09:03Right none of my business no worries
09:11Spike
09:17You
09:19How is your night
09:22It's all right
09:25And yours
09:27You
09:29Bag any baddies
09:32One
09:35Vampire
09:39Someone I used to know actually a little
09:43Holden
09:45Holden Webster
09:49You knew him, huh
09:53That must have been a picnic
09:59Yeah
10:05Well
10:08I'm gonna turn in before I drop
10:12I
10:15Know
10:24You see that you see how he reacted when you mentioned webs
10:28Cool is cool
10:30What's up of that?
10:32The Sun's coming up. I need to get home and check on Don
10:36We need to keep an eye on spike. Whoa. Whoa, when you say we you mean me
10:42That means gotta go to work. I got a big client meeting in a couple of hours
10:45Xander this is serious
10:47We cannot let him leave this house until we know if he is killing again
10:52We need to find someone I can watch him
10:55Uh-uh, forget it Harris. Come on, honey. You said you'd do it on the phone. Yeah, but that
11:02That was before you told me spikes killing again and now you want to leave me here alone with him
11:07I didn't mind being alone them before
11:09What was that?
11:12Nothing look
11:15We don't actually know that he's killed anyone
11:18You know lately
11:19Might I'll just be a mistake. Yeah, but you don't think so
11:23Okay, have you searched his room for clues?
11:28Trophies from victims killers like to keep trophies sometimes scalps
11:34necklaces made from human teeth
11:37You know, I didn't encourage me to look but thanks for the tip, okay, so you'll be seven here plenty of summit for you to hide in
11:45What that's it
11:47You're not at least gonna like leave me a crossbow or a flamethrower something to protect myself
11:53We don't want them to know we suspect anything
11:56Besides if he tries to leave I don't want you confronting him call Buffy and just let her know that he's on the move
12:02You're gonna be fine
12:05I better be because if I get vamped I'm gonna bite your ass wouldn't be the first time. What was that?
12:13I
12:28Think it's okay
12:30She's okay, not hurt
12:32She's just exhausted finally fell off to sleep. What the hell happened downstairs looks like hell happened
12:40Yeah, this big evil that's been promising to devour us well, I think it started chomping oh
12:47God
12:49And it started with Don both of us
12:52Buffy this thing knows us
12:55It made us think that we were talking to people we knew
12:59Mine said it came with a message from Tara
13:03but Don actually saw
13:10Your mother
13:15This thing it had me for a while I
13:20Mean before it started letting loose with the pulse pounding terror
13:25But before that the lies were
13:28very convincing
13:31It just seems real
13:34I
13:38Maybe maybe to confuse us to mess us up
13:43Or maybe just to be cruel
13:46Vampire I killed last night
13:49Told me spike sired him
13:55Two nights ago
13:57Well, that's impossible, right
14:01Yes, so maybe it was another one a fake-out you got one, too
14:08It wasn't a real fam. Just a real enough
14:13Buffy do you think spike is I can't I
14:20Hope not
14:24But if I'm wrong and he is
14:27I
14:29Have to see it for myself I
14:35Have to be there to stop it
14:56I
15:26I
15:56I
16:26I
16:28I
16:30I
16:52Yeah to be specific and tell a fella just exactly what you're doing
17:01Oh, wow
17:04Spike
17:09I'm here obviously for
17:20Sex
17:24Big fun you and me
17:28Here and now
17:31Let's go
17:33Let's
17:35Get it on you big bad boy. Wait, wait on you. Just a minute. This is not exact

17:51No questions
17:53No talking
17:55I
17:57Can't help it. I
18:00Can't stop thinking about you and us in our brief, but
18:06unforgettable time together I
18:09mean, it's
18:11Why else would I be here? I mean, it's not like I'm snooping around for proof that you're some sort of whacked-out serial killer
18:20Said that forget I said that it's craziness talking. It's just nerves
18:26Nerves
18:29Nerves in and horniness. Oh, just shut up William and take me take me now
18:36I
18:53Know
18:54It's not that I'm not tempted
18:59Obviously if things were different you're right catch I
19:03Got it
19:04No problem, I understand
19:09You think I'm fat what well, it's either that or the haircut
19:14Ridiculous that is quite fetching. Oh, right. Now you like the haircut love it
19:19Sure as a friend on you, you know, you were a lot more fun when you didn't have a soul. Oh
19:24No, I've just explained to you
19:26All I'm saying is soulless bike would have had me upside down and halfway to happy land by now. I
19:31I
19:34Need my pants
19:36I
20:00Didn't mean to hurt your feelings
20:03I was hurt. I'm fine

20:40It's me he's leaving
21:02I
21:32Oh
22:02I
22:32I
22:38So, um, what kind of name is spike
22:56What are you gonna make me guess
23:03All right
23:08I'll guess
23:12You're a little bit
23:24Right
23:28You a bad boy
23:30I don't mind
23:35You know, I was getting pretty bored waiting over there in that line
23:44Waiting
23:54I mean
24:00I
24:12You know you want it
24:18You know, I want you to
24:23Is everything
24:30You
24:33There's my guy
24:44Now does not feel better
25:00You
25:06How could you use a poor maiden so
25:18Did you kill her what the girl last night
25:22What go what are you talking about? I caught the first act. I missed the curtain call. Did you kill her?
25:30Did you turn her? Is she one of your kind now?
25:32Did you are you following me?
25:35answer the question
25:36Where is she?
25:38Who knows I talked to her is all really look like more than talking to me. Well, I certainly didn't offer
25:48Where are you getting this?
25:51You know, I can't right the chip no not the chip not the chip
26:00You honestly think I'd go to the end of the underworld and back to get my soul and then
26:08Buffy I can barely live with what I did. It haunts me all of it
26:18If you think that I would add to the body count now you are crazy
26:23So what you just trolled the promenade looking for drunk co-eds cuz you're hungry for a conversation. Oh
26:31Is that what this is?
26:33Right. What you're jealous
26:35Don't play games
26:37Not now. Yeah, you saw me chatting up another bird. You give me the artist somebody else
26:44Touched a nerve didn't it?
26:46Don't flatter yourself
26:48It burns, huh?
26:51But you can't admit it so you trump up some charge about me being back on the juice this vampire
26:57I killed told me what?
27:00Then I go out
27:02Yeah, I talked to people
27:05women
27:07Talk to them cuz I can't talk to you Oh
27:11Spike save it as daft a notion and soulful spike the killer is it is nothing
27:17Compared to the idea that another girl could mean anything to me
27:24This chip
27:26They did to me. I
27:29Couldn't help it
27:32But the soul I got on my own
27:35For you
27:37You
27:44So, yeah, I go and pass the time
27:48With someone but that's all it is is time
27:53It's gotta help me both be it's still all about you
27:56You
28:01Spike
28:02This vampire told me you sired him
28:06That doesn't mean he said you killed him
28:08Dumped him in a parking lot somewhere and you believe them vampires. I did follow you last night and you know what?
28:16You didn't look lonely or casual to me. You looked like you were on the prowl
28:23You can't know that so then tell me tell me what happened you you talked to her then what we talked
28:30That's all I remember all you remember. I don't know. I'd go out. I've talked to people I don't
28:38Boring all bleeds together
28:41Well, if you seem to forget that much not that
28:45Taste of human blood that I'd remember
28:49You were camped out on the Hellmouth talking to invisible people
28:54Recently, how can you be sure? No, you are wrong
29:00You've got an accusation from a pile of dust and not a shred of proof
29:07So I'll get some
29:19You
29:24Okay, guys find me some evidence that he did this
29:28Really, are you sure that's what you want? I
29:32Mean proof that he didn't
29:35Well, you only think spike is turning people cuz that vampire told you so right but that night I mean
29:44We were all told things that weren't true
29:47Maybe
29:49What what maybe
29:51Well, just because those weren't the spirits of you know
29:56Our people just because of some evil thing
30:00Doesn't mean what they said can't be true. I
30:03Used to tell the truth all the time when I was evil
30:08We can't assume anything we need hard facts
30:11Well, if spike is biting people again, then shouldn't there be more dead people with neck trauma, right and we can find that
30:22No, no, we can't find that but that's easy my computer's a moron I
30:27Mean, no, there's not really an increase in neck injuries
30:32but
30:34But what Oh
30:37Missing people eight maybe Oh
30:43Ten of them no bodies. They're just missing
30:49Mostly young lots of girls
30:54So it's true
30:56But that vampire told Buffy turned out to be true
31:01Maybe
31:04But it still doesn't prove that it's spike
31:06Right now he's the only one who knows for sure
31:37Oh
31:49No, no
31:51You're not going out. I have to go Buffy was very clear about the not leaving of you
31:56I know what the Slayer told you. It's not true. Let me go and I'll find a way to prove it
32:02Okay, I'm gonna list the reasons that won't happen
32:05one
32:06Oh
32:20This is how
32:24You'll get angry
32:27at yourself and
32:29think
32:31you can think of
32:34Something else and
32:38Hear the
32:40clanging of the bells

42:48Oh
43:00You know what I want you to do

45:51He said you'd do it who said
45:58He
46:02Me
46:06Saw it
46:09I was here the whole time talking and singing
46:16There was a song
46:20What are you talking about, I don't know
46:25Please I don't remember
46:28Don't make me remember
46:32You make it so I forget again I did what you wanted
46:41There's something here
46:52No, please I need that I
46:57Can't cry this soul out of me it won't come
47:03I've killed and I can feel
47:08I can feel everyone
47:22There's something playing with us all of us
47:33I
47:43Don't know
47:51Help me
47:58Can you help me
48:03I'll help you
48:12And you believe him
48:15You didn't see him down there. I really didn't know what he'd done
48:21It wasn't in his control. Oh
48:24An out-of-control serial killer. You're right. That is a great house guest. Wait, is he?
48:32Is he staying here, I don't know
48:37But I'm not letting him out of my sight that's for sure
48:40Buffy he's been feeding on human blood. That's kind of do stuff. I'm not keeping him around just to help him. I
48:49Think there was something there talking to him making him do things
48:55Something like what was talking to us
48:57Maybe if it was and it's been screwing with spike big-time
49:02So you want him around because?
49:05Look, there's something evil working us and if we are ever gonna have a chance to fight it
49:10We need to learn everything we can about it
49:13This thing has been closer to spike than any of us
49:17And if you want to understand it
