<i>Previously on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer":</i>

2
00:00:03,263 --> 00:00:06,539
I'm a guy with his ear to the ground,
but even I can feel it.

3
00:00:06,623 --> 00:00:10,696
<i>Something's coming. I don't know</i>
<i>what exactly, but something's brewing.</i>

4
00:00:10,783 --> 00:00:15,015
<i>And it's so big, ugly and damned, it makes</i>
<i>you and me look like little bitty puzzle pieces.</i>

5
00:00:15,103 --> 00:00:18,573
You'll live in there.
It looks like a closet, but it's a room now.

6
00:00:18,663 --> 00:00:22,338
And I hate this plan. I don't understand
when his problems became yours.

7
00:00:22,423 --> 00:00:25,062
The school basement is making him crazy.

8
00:00:25,143 --> 00:00:28,931
It's just things are different now.
He has a soul.

9
00:00:29,023 --> 00:00:30,615
Mom?

10
00:00:33,863 --> 00:00:37,572
<i>Get off her and let her talk to me!</i>

11
00:00:38,223 --> 00:00:42,501
Things are coming, Dawn.
When it's bad, Buffy won't choose you.

12
00:00:42,583 --> 00:00:43,459
No!

13
00:00:44,063 --> 00:00:48,932
This last year will seem like cake after
what I put you and your friends through,

14
00:00:49,023 --> 00:00:51,412
<i>and I am not a fan of easy death.</i>

15
00:00:51,503 --> 00:00:55,940
<i>The whole good-versus-evil,</i>
<i>balancing-the-scales thing? I'm over it.</i>

16
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:59,982
But believe me, I'm going for a big finish.

17
00:01:02,903 --> 00:01:05,417
From beneath you, it devours.

18
00:01:06,183 --> 00:01:08,697
What do you mean?
How do you know Spike?

19
00:01:08,783 --> 00:01:12,856
What do you mean, how?
He was the guy that... Oh, what's the word?

20
00:01:12,943 --> 00:01:16,253
- Sired.
- Yeah, he was the guy that sired me.

21
00:01:22,023 --> 00:01:24,014
<i>(knocking)</i>

22
00:01:27,423 --> 00:01:30,256
- OK, OK, I'm coming. I'm up.
- <i>(knocking continues)</i>

23
00:01:30,343 --> 00:01:34,382
It's 4.30 in the morning.
Sweet mama-lution.

24
00:01:34,463 --> 00:01:36,931
- Who is it?
- <i>(Buffy)</i> It's me.

25
00:01:37,983 --> 00:01:41,578
- Buffy?
- Where's Spike? Xander, is he here?

26
00:01:41,663 --> 00:01:46,737
- He's out. At least he was when I got home.
- Any idea where he went?

27
00:01:46,823 --> 00:01:51,578
I don't know. Creature of the night, Buff.
He's probably out creaturing.

28
00:01:51,663 --> 00:01:53,813
Why, what happened?

29
00:01:54,623 --> 00:01:57,057
Is he in trouble?

30
00:01:57,143 --> 00:01:59,134
I hope not.

31
00:02:00,103 --> 00:02:02,901
<i>(humming of "Early One Morning")</i>

32
00:02:39,583 --> 00:02:42,381
<i>(Spike hums "Early One Morning")</i>

33
00:04:07,783 --> 00:04:09,580
Nora?

34
00:04:11,903 --> 00:04:13,621
Nora?

35
00:04:32,383 --> 00:04:34,180
Buffy?

36
00:04:34,263 --> 00:04:36,982
<i>(Dawn)</i> She's not here.

37
00:04:37,543 --> 00:04:40,011
Dawn? Oh, my God.

38
00:04:41,463 --> 00:04:43,294
What are you...

39
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:46,261
Dawn, what happened here? What...

40
00:04:47,343 --> 00:04:48,935
You're cut.

41
00:04:49,023 --> 00:04:51,856
- I'm all right.
- Let me see, make sure.

42
00:04:51,943 --> 00:04:54,173
I saw Mom.

43
00:04:54,263 --> 00:04:56,299
What?

44
00:04:56,383 --> 00:04:59,102
She was here, Willow. I saw her.

45
00:04:59,183 --> 00:05:01,822
She was here, and she spoke to me.

46
00:05:01,903 --> 00:05:03,461
Sweetie...

47
00:05:03,543 --> 00:05:08,776
No, she was right here,
and... then she wasn't. She...

48
00:05:08,863 --> 00:05:11,218
It wasn't her.

49
00:05:11,303 --> 00:05:14,579
- What?
- At least, I don't think.

50
00:05:15,703 --> 00:05:21,494
I saw something too, and it looked like...
someone else.

51
00:05:21,583 --> 00:05:23,699
But it wasn't.

52
00:05:23,783 --> 00:05:25,694
I don't understand.

53
00:05:25,783 --> 00:05:30,095
It's the big bad, Dawn.
The one we knew was coming.

54
00:05:30,983 --> 00:05:32,974
But that's what she said.

55
00:05:33,063 --> 00:05:37,261
Mom, she said that things were coming,
that things were on their way,

56
00:05:37,343 --> 00:05:40,858
and... that she loved us.

57
00:05:42,023 --> 00:05:46,574
So it had to be her, right?
I mean, her warning was true.

58
00:05:46,663 --> 00:05:52,135
I don't know. I just don't think
we can trust anything right now.

59
00:05:52,223 --> 00:05:55,374
So maybe the evil thing
messing with you was here too.

60
00:05:55,463 --> 00:05:59,661
Only maybe it was the thing
trying to keep mom away.

61
00:06:00,663 --> 00:06:03,416
Cos she was trying to protect me.

62
00:06:05,383 --> 00:06:07,578
Maybe.

63
00:06:07,903 --> 00:06:10,292
Why would a vampire lie
about who sired him?

64
00:06:10,383 --> 00:06:16,458
What's that? Some kind of status symbol for
the undead? "My sire can beat up your sire."

65
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,613
I'm not saying I don't believe him.

66
00:06:19,103 --> 00:06:21,571
You just don't want to.

67
00:06:23,063 --> 00:06:25,213
OK, let's look at this objectively.

68
00:06:25,303 --> 00:06:28,818
Figure it out in a cold,
impersonal, CSl-like manner,

69
00:06:28,903 --> 00:06:31,861
cos we're a couple of carpet fibres
away from a case.

70
00:06:31,943 --> 00:06:34,901
Spike can't be doing this.
He couldn't if he wanted to.

71
00:06:34,983 --> 00:06:38,498
- Why not?
- Pain chip, remember? He can't hurt anyone.

72
00:06:38,583 --> 00:06:40,619
It didn't stop him from hurting you.

73
00:06:40,703 --> 00:06:44,662
Hey, objective here.
Maybe the chip's not working any more.

74
00:06:44,743 --> 00:06:50,056
- Oh, it's working. I've seen it.
- Is it? Or is that what he wants you to think?

75
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:53,818
- You think it's an act?
- I don't really know. And neither do you.

76
00:06:53,903 --> 00:06:56,781
No. There's something. I can feel it.

77
00:06:56,863 --> 00:06:59,900
He's different. He's changed.

78
00:07:00,863 --> 00:07:04,936
And, if it is an act, then the Oscar goes to...

79
00:07:05,023 --> 00:07:06,536
<i>(door opens)</i>

80
00:07:08,783 --> 00:07:11,855
Well, this can't be good -
you here at this hour.

81
00:07:12,543 --> 00:07:16,172
- Is there trouble?
- No. No trouble.

82
00:07:16,263 --> 00:07:18,094
I was just...

83
00:07:18,183 --> 00:07:19,901
We were just...

84
00:07:21,823 --> 00:07:23,415
Right.

85
00:07:23,503 --> 00:07:26,415
None of my business. No worries.

86
00:07:28,183 --> 00:07:29,775
Spike, I...

87
00:07:33,503 --> 00:07:35,858
How was your night?

88
00:07:35,943 --> 00:07:38,093
It was all right.

89
00:07:38,183 --> 00:07:42,620
And yours? Did you... bag any baddies?

90
00:07:43,623 --> 00:07:45,693
One.

91
00:07:45,783 --> 00:07:47,774
Vampire.

92
00:07:48,823 --> 00:07:51,701
Someone I used to know, actually, a little.

93
00:07:53,903 --> 00:07:55,621
Holden.

94
00:07:55,703 --> 00:07:57,978
Holden Webster.

95
00:07:58,543 --> 00:08:00,738
You knew him, huh?

96
00:08:01,663 --> 00:08:04,780
That must've been a picnic.

97
00:08:06,663 --> 00:08:08,779
Yeah.

98
00:08:11,423 --> 00:08:15,575
Well... I'm gonna turn in before I drop.

99
00:08:17,583 --> 00:08:19,380
Night.

100
00:08:24,983 --> 00:08:28,293
You see that? You see how he reacted
when you mentioned Webs?

101
00:08:28,383 --> 00:08:31,261
Cool as Cool Whip.
What's up with that?

102
00:08:31,343 --> 00:08:36,337
The sun's coming up. I need to go and check
on Dawn. We need to keep an eye on Spike.

103
00:08:36,423 --> 00:08:40,177
Whoa, whoa, whoa. When you say "we"
you mean me. Me's gotta go to work.

104
00:08:40,263 --> 00:08:43,494
- I got a big meeting in a couple of hours.
- This is serious.

105
00:08:43,583 --> 00:08:47,337
We cannot let him leave this house
until we know if he's killing again.

106
00:08:47,423 --> 00:08:49,175
We need someone to watch him.

107
00:08:49,263 --> 00:08:52,812
- Uh-uh. Forget it, Harris.
- You said you'd do it on the phone.

108
00:08:52,903 --> 00:08:58,978
That was before you told me Spike's killing
again. You want to leave me alone with him?!

109
00:08:59,063 --> 00:09:02,817
- Didn't mind being alone with him before.
- What was that?

110
00:09:02,903 --> 00:09:08,899
Nothing. Look, we don't actually know
that he's killed anyone. You know, lately.

111
00:09:08,983 --> 00:09:11,861
- Might all just be a mistake.
- But you don't think so.

112
00:09:11,943 --> 00:09:17,176
Have you searched his room for clues?
Trophies from victims?

113
00:09:17,263 --> 00:09:22,212
Killers like to keep trophies sometimes.
Scalps, necklaces made from human teeth.

114
00:09:23,543 --> 00:09:26,262
It didn't occur to me to look,
but thanks for the tip.

115
00:09:26,343 --> 00:09:29,460
You'll be safe here.
Plenty of sunlight for you to hide in.

116
00:09:29,543 --> 00:09:31,295
What? That's it?

117
00:09:31,383 --> 00:09:35,695
You're not gonna leave a crossbow or a
flame-thrower? Something to protect myself?

118
00:09:35,783 --> 00:09:39,935
We don't want him to know we suspect.
If he tries to leave, don't confront him.

119
00:09:40,023 --> 00:09:45,893
Call Buffy and just let her know that
he's on the move. You're gonna be fine.

120
00:09:45,983 --> 00:09:49,896
Better be, cos if I get vamped,
I'm gonna bite your ass.

121
00:09:49,983 --> 00:09:53,942
- Wouldn't be the first time.
- What was that?

122
00:09:59,343 --> 00:10:00,856
<i>(door shuts)</i>

123
00:10:00,943 --> 00:10:03,776
Dawn? Dawn!

124
00:10:03,863 --> 00:10:07,014
Buffy, it's OK. She's OK. Not hurt.

125
00:10:07,103 --> 00:10:10,140
She's just exhausted. Finally fell off to sleep.

126
00:10:10,223 --> 00:10:13,818
- What the hell happened? It looks like...
- Hell happened? Yeah.

127
00:10:13,903 --> 00:10:18,897
This big evil that's been promising to
devour us? Well, I think it started chomping.

128
00:10:18,983 --> 00:10:22,498
- Oh, God. And it started with Dawn?
- Both of us.

129
00:10:22,583 --> 00:10:28,135
Buffy, this thing knows us. It made us think
that we were talking to people we knew.

130
00:10:28,223 --> 00:10:34,139
Mine said it came with a message from Tara.
But Dawn actually saw...

131
00:10:36,983 --> 00:10:38,974
your mother.

132
00:10:41,463 --> 00:10:45,058
This thing - it had me for a while.

133
00:10:45,143 --> 00:10:49,295
I mean, before it started letting loose
with the pulse-pounding terror.

134
00:10:49,383 --> 00:10:53,615
But before that,
the lies were very convincing.

135
00:10:53,703 --> 00:10:55,978
It just seems real.

136
00:10:57,863 --> 00:10:59,091
Lies?

137
00:10:59,183 --> 00:11:02,892
Maybe to confuse us, to mess us up.

138
00:11:02,983 --> 00:11:05,895
Or maybe just to be cruel.

139
00:11:05,983 --> 00:11:10,295
Vampire I killed last night
told me Spike sired him.

140
00:11:12,743 --> 00:11:14,938
Two nights ago.

141
00:11:15,023 --> 00:11:17,332
Well, that's impossible. Right?

142
00:11:18,743 --> 00:11:23,021
So maybe it was another one.
A fake out. You got one too.

143
00:11:23,103 --> 00:11:26,857
- It wasn't a real vamp.
- Dusted real enough.

144
00:11:26,943 --> 00:11:30,413
- Buffy, do you think Spike is...
- I can't.

145
00:11:32,423 --> 00:11:34,414
I hope not.

146
00:11:35,983 --> 00:11:38,975
But if I'm wrong and he is...

147
00:11:40,143 --> 00:11:43,499
then I have to see it for myself.

148
00:11:44,903 --> 00:11:47,701
I have to be there to stop it.

149
00:13:33,423 --> 00:13:38,895
Anya, do be specific and tell a fella
just exactly what you're doing here.

150
00:13:41,303 --> 00:13:42,975
Well...

151
00:13:43,063 --> 00:13:44,860
Spike...

152
00:13:46,703 --> 00:13:49,581
I'm... here, obviously...

153
00:13:50,303 --> 00:13:52,612
for... um...

154
00:13:55,863 --> 00:13:57,581
sex.

155
00:13:57,663 --> 00:13:58,539
Uh...

156
00:13:58,623 --> 00:14:00,500
Beg pardon?

157
00:14:00,583 --> 00:14:02,653
You and me.

158
00:14:02,743 --> 00:14:04,893
Here and now.

159
00:14:04,983 --> 00:14:06,655
Let's go.

160
00:14:06,743 --> 00:14:10,418
Let's... get it on, you big bad boy.

161
00:14:10,503 --> 00:14:13,381
Wait, Anya. Just a minute.
This is not exac...

162
00:14:13,463 --> 00:14:15,897
Is that a stake?

163
00:14:15,983 --> 00:14:18,099
Yes. Kinky.

164
00:14:18,183 --> 00:14:20,458
- Well, yeah, but what do you...
- Shh.

165
00:14:20,543 --> 00:14:22,613
No questions.

166
00:14:22,703 --> 00:14:24,933
No talking.

167
00:14:25,023 --> 00:14:27,139
I can't help it.

168
00:14:27,223 --> 00:14:33,901
I can't stop thinking about you and us
and our brief but unforgettable time together.

169
00:14:34,943 --> 00:14:37,503
I mean, it's...
Why else would I be here?

170
00:14:37,583 --> 00:14:42,782
It's not like I'm snooping around for proof
that you're some whacked-out serial killer.

171
00:14:42,863 --> 00:14:45,252
I don't know why I said that.
Forget I said that.

172
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:49,052
It's craziness talking.
It's just nerves. Nerves.

173
00:14:50,463 --> 00:14:53,057
Nerves and... and horniness.

174
00:14:53,143 --> 00:14:57,341
Oh, just shut up, William, and take me.
Take me now.

175
00:15:09,343 --> 00:15:10,822
- Anya.
- Hm?

176
00:15:10,903 --> 00:15:16,660
It's not that I'm not tempted. Obviously,
if things were different, you're a right catch.

177
00:15:17,223 --> 00:15:20,772
I got it. No problem. I understand.

178
00:15:22,343 --> 00:15:24,015
- You think I'm fat.
- What?

179
00:15:24,103 --> 00:15:27,379
- It's either that or the haircut.
- The do's quite fetching.

180
00:15:27,463 --> 00:15:29,931
- Oh, right. Now you like the haircut.
- Love it.

181
00:15:30,023 --> 00:15:33,299
Sure, as a friend. You were more fun
when you didn't have a soul.

182
00:15:33,383 --> 00:15:35,613
Oh, come on.
I've just explained...

183
00:15:35,703 --> 00:15:41,938
Soulless Spike would have had me upside
down and halfway to happy land by now.

184
00:15:42,023 --> 00:15:44,218
I need my pants.

185
00:16:02,943 --> 00:16:05,457
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, love.

186
00:16:05,543 --> 00:16:08,262
Who's hurt? I'm fine.

187
00:16:09,823 --> 00:16:11,620
Right.

188
00:16:13,223 --> 00:16:15,612
Look, I've got things to do.

189
00:16:15,703 --> 00:16:18,501
Don't stick around on my account.

190
00:16:35,263 --> 00:16:37,777
It's me. He's leaving.

I'll guess...

199
00:18:35,703 --> 00:18:38,376
you're a little bit bad.

Are you a bad boy?

Cos I don't mind.

204
00:18:54,423 --> 00:19:00,020
You know, I was getting pretty bored
waiting over there in that line.

205
00:19:00,103 --> 00:19:02,901

You know I want you to.

How could you use a poor maiden so?

215
00:20:15,783 --> 00:20:17,501
- Did you kill her?
- What?

216
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:21,098
- The girl. Last night.
- What girl? What are you talking about?

217
00:20:21,183 --> 00:20:26,621
I caught the first act. I missed the curtain call.
Did you kill her? Did you turn her?

218
00:20:26,703 --> 00:20:28,933
Did you... Are you following me?

219
00:20:29,023 --> 00:20:31,583
Answer the question. Where is she?

220
00:20:31,663 --> 00:20:33,813
Who knows? I talked to her is all.

221
00:20:33,903 --> 00:20:39,102
- Really? Looked like more than talking to me.
- Well, I certainly didn't off her.

222
00:20:39,183 --> 00:20:42,732
Where are you getting this?
You know I can't.

223
00:20:42,823 --> 00:20:44,415
Right. The chip.

224
00:20:44,503 --> 00:20:48,212
No, not the chip!
Not the chip, dammit.

225
00:20:49,183 --> 00:20:55,418
You think I'd go to the end of the underworld
and back to get my soul and then...?

226
00:20:55,503 --> 00:20:59,894
Buffy, I can barely live with what I did.
It haunts me.

227
00:21:00,783 --> 00:21:02,774
All of it.

228
00:21:02,863 --> 00:21:07,254
If you think that I would add
to the body count now, you are crazy.

229
00:21:07,343 --> 00:21:12,895
So you go looking for drunk co-eds
cos you're hungry for conversation?

230
00:21:12,983 --> 00:21:16,134
- Oh, is that what this is? Right.
- What?

231
00:21:16,223 --> 00:21:19,659
- You're jealous.
- Don't play games. Not now.

232
00:21:19,743 --> 00:21:23,941
You saw me chatting up another bird,
giving the eye to somebody else.

233
00:21:24,023 --> 00:21:27,538
- Touched a nerve, didn't it?
- Don't flatter yourself.

234
00:21:27,623 --> 00:21:33,573
It burns. But you can't admit it, so you trump
up some charge that I'm back on the juice.

235
00:21:33,663 --> 00:21:38,453
- This vampire I killed told me...
- Told you what? That I go out?

236
00:21:38,543 --> 00:21:41,899
Yeah, I talk to people. Women.

237
00:21:41,983 --> 00:21:46,659
- I talk to them cos I can't talk to you.
- Oh, Spike, save it.

238
00:21:46,743 --> 00:21:49,655
As daft a notion as
"soulful Spike the killer" is,

239
00:21:49,743 --> 00:21:55,295
it is nothing compared to the idea that
another girl could mean anything to me.

240
00:21:56,183 --> 00:21:59,812
This chip... they did <i>to</i> me.

241
00:21:59,903 --> 00:22:01,939
I couldn't help it.

242
00:22:02,023 --> 00:22:04,981
But the soul, I got on my own.

243
00:22:05,063 --> 00:22:07,054
For you.

244
00:22:10,583 --> 00:22:14,781
- I know. But...
- So, yeah. I go and pass the time.

245
00:22:14,863 --> 00:22:16,694
With someone.

246
00:22:16,783 --> 00:22:22,335
But that's all it is, is time. Cos God help me,
Buffy, it's still all about you.

247
00:22:25,303 --> 00:22:29,581
- Spike, this vampire told me you sired him.
- That doesn't mean...

248
00:22:29,663 --> 00:22:33,133
He said you killed him,
dumped him in a parking lot somewhere.

249
00:22:33,223 --> 00:22:37,614
- And you believed him? Vampires aren't...
- I did follow you last night.

250
00:22:37,703 --> 00:22:42,219
You didn't look lonely or casual to me.
You looked like you were on the prowl.

251
00:22:42,303 --> 00:22:45,852
- You can't know that.
- So, then, tell me. Tell me what happened.

252
00:22:45,943 --> 00:22:49,379
- You talked to her, then what?
- We talked. That's all I remember.

253
00:22:49,463 --> 00:22:52,216
- All you remember?
- I don't know. I go out.

254
00:22:52,303 --> 00:22:57,058
I talk to people or I don't.
It's boring. It all bleeds together.

255
00:22:57,143 --> 00:23:00,055
- Well, if you seem to forget that much...
- Not that.

256
00:23:00,143 --> 00:23:03,453
The taste of human blood.
That, I'd remember.

257
00:23:03,543 --> 00:23:08,663
You were camped out on the Hellmouth
talking to invisible people. Recently.

258
00:23:08,743 --> 00:23:12,053
- How can you be sure of...
- No! You are wrong.

259
00:23:12,143 --> 00:23:17,775
You've got an accusation
from a pile of dust, and not a shred of proof.

260
00:23:17,863 --> 00:23:20,331
So I'll get some.

261
00:23:31,143 --> 00:23:34,658
OK, guys, find me some evidence
that he did this.

262
00:23:34,743 --> 00:23:40,101
- Really? Are you sure that's what you want?
- Find me proof that he didn't.

263
00:23:40,183 --> 00:23:44,461
You only think Spike is turning people
cos that vampire told you so, right?

264
00:23:44,543 --> 00:23:49,139
But that night,
we were all told things that weren't true.

265
00:23:49,223 --> 00:23:50,975
Maybe.

266
00:23:51,063 --> 00:23:53,531
What? What "maybe"?

267
00:23:53,623 --> 00:23:57,616
Just because those weren't
the spirits of, you know, our people,

268
00:23:57,703 --> 00:24:02,140
just because it was some evil thing,
doesn't mean what they said can't be true.

269
00:24:02,223 --> 00:24:06,057
I used to tell the truth all the time
when I was evil.

270
00:24:06,143 --> 00:24:08,782
We can't assume anything.
We need hard facts.

271
00:24:08,863 --> 00:24:13,732
If Spike is biting people again, shouldn't
there be more dead people with neck trauma?

272
00:24:13,823 --> 00:24:17,133
Right? And we can find that.

273
00:24:17,223 --> 00:24:19,691
- No.
- No, we can't find that? But that's easy.

274
00:24:19,783 --> 00:24:21,580
That computer's a moron.

275
00:24:21,663 --> 00:24:27,579
I mean, no, there's not really
an increase in neck injuries. But...

276
00:24:27,663 --> 00:24:29,540
But what?

277
00:24:29,623 --> 00:24:32,660
Missing people. Eight, maybe.

278
00:24:33,303 --> 00:24:35,339
Oh, ten of them.

279
00:24:35,423 --> 00:24:38,938
No bodies, they're just missing.

280
00:24:39,023 --> 00:24:41,332
Mostly young. Lots of girls.

281
00:24:42,823 --> 00:24:48,739
So it's true. What that vampire
told Buffy turned out to be true.

282
00:24:48,823 --> 00:24:50,734
Maybe.

283
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,815
But it still doesn't prove that it's Spike.

284
00:24:53,903 --> 00:24:57,612
Right now,
he's the only one who knows for sure.

285
00:25:27,063 --> 00:25:30,294
- No, no, no. You're not going out.
- I have to go.

286
00:25:30,383 --> 00:25:32,613
Buffy was very clear
on the not leaving of you.

287
00:25:32,703 --> 00:25:36,742
I know what she told you. It's not true.
Let me go, and I'll find a way to prove it.

288
00:25:36,823 --> 00:25:39,974
OK, I'm gonna list the reasons
that won't happen. One...

289
00:25:40,543 --> 00:25:41,862
Ow!

I was here talking with her.

292
00:26:37,623 --> 00:26:41,218
The other night. I'm looking for
someone who might've seen her.

293
00:26:41,303 --> 00:26:43,294
No. Sorry.

294
00:27:04,143 --> 00:27:06,896
- He hit you?
- Knocked me out.

295
00:27:06,983 --> 00:27:11,420
- He's been gone at least half an hour.
- Any idea where he's headed?

299
00:27:27,463 --> 00:27:31,661

00:27:38,703 --> 00:27:42,252
- Is it me?
- Sorry, love. Don't think so.

303
00:27:49,303 --> 00:27:53,740
Or are you the type that has to be convinced?

Friendly warning, pet.
I'm the type best left alone.

Oh. I get it.

306
00:28:00,183 --> 00:28:04,381
You'd rather I slip into
something more comfortable.

307
00:28:07,463 --> 00:28:12,173
Shall we pick off the crowd one by one,
or block the exits and ravish the place?

308
00:28:12,263 --> 00:28:15,733

- What's with the wallflower act?

309

when you were biting me.

I'm not asking if you wanna be soul mates.
Just figured you'd wanna have some fun.

Mm.

Or the other way around. Whatever.

No, you're lying.

accent. Kind of sallow, but in a hot way?

00:30:09,023 --> 00:30:11,981
Yeah, yeah, I know the guy.
Billy Idol wannabe.

319
00:30:12,063 --> 00:30:16,375

Never mind. Has he been here?

This guy your boyfriend or something?

321
00:30:19,143 --> 00:30:23,421
No, I just... I need to find him,
as soon as possible.

322
00:30:23,503 --> 00:30:29,499
He comes in a lot lately. Every night leaves
with a different girl. Chicks like Billy Idol.

323
00:30:30,423 --> 00:30:32,653
How many girls?

324
00:30:32,743 --> 00:30:35,860
Look, this guy, this not-your-boyfriend guy.

325
00:30:35,943 --> 00:30:38,537
If I were you, I'd lose him.
He's a real player.

326

329

00:31:12,783 --> 00:31:18,335
I need to see you. There's a house.
634 Hoffman Terrace.

332
00:31:18,423 --> 00:31:20,812
I'll meet you.

333
00:31:23,463 --> 00:31:25,579
You shouldn't have done that.

334
00:31:25,663 --> 00:31:27,779
It's not time yet.

335
00:31:27,863 --> 00:31:29,660
Not nearly.

336
00:31:29,743 --> 00:31:32,337
You're going against the plan.

337
00:31:33,223 --> 00:31:35,578
But we can make it work.

338
00:31:49,503 --> 00:31:51,494
Down here.

339
00:32:01,343 --> 00:32:03,732
You won't come down?

340
00:32:05,183 --> 00:32:07,253
I understand.

341
00:32:07,343 --> 00:32:10,141
It's a risky proposition.

342
00:32:10,223 --> 00:32:15,058
There's an order. The Slayer's not in order.
But it can't hurt to play.

343
00:32:15,143 --> 00:32:19,819
- Get your claws in the mouse, you know?
- You are not here.

344
00:32:28,983 --> 00:32:32,817
All right. What do you wanna show me?

345
00:32:32,903 --> 00:32:35,701
I've been remembering.

346
00:32:35,783 --> 00:32:38,661
The girl. I walked her home.

347
00:32:39,503 --> 00:32:42,176
The one you saw.

348
00:32:42,263 --> 00:32:44,857
And the one before that.

349
00:32:45,743 --> 00:32:48,541
And I think I killed her.

350
00:32:48,623 --> 00:32:53,697
And I think I... I think I killed...
the lady who lived here.

351
00:32:54,543 --> 00:32:57,933
And... and there might be others.

352
00:33:00,663 --> 00:33:02,381
Oh, my God.

353
00:33:03,343 --> 00:33:05,140
Here.

354
00:33:09,423 --> 00:33:12,142
I-I think I buried them here.

355
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:16,495
Spike, why?

356
00:33:16,583 --> 00:33:20,258
Well, I don't know, do I?
I don't even know how. I shouldn't be able...

357
00:33:20,343 --> 00:33:24,575
<i># Early one morning
just as the sun was rising

358
00:33:24,663 --> 00:33:29,134
<i># I heard a fair maid sing
in the valley down below

359
00:33:29,583 --> 00:33:32,097

360
00:33:32,183 --> 00:33:34,617
<i># Oh, never leave me

361
00:33:34,703 --> 00:33:38,332

362
00:33:38,423 --> 00:33:39,776
Spike!

363
00:33:45,903 --> 00:33:48,292
What are you doing? Oh!

364
00:33:51,583 --> 00:33:53,938
Spike, listen to me. You don't wanna do this.

365
00:33:55,183 --> 00:33:57,538
And it's just about to get fun.

366
00:34:05,423 --> 00:34:06,412
Oh, God.

367
00:34:20,383 --> 00:34:22,533
You know what I want you to do.

368
00:34:33,823 --> 00:34:38,419
They're waiting for you.
Take her, taste her. Make her weak.

369
00:34:41,663 --> 00:34:43,540
Spike, no!

370
00:35:16,103 --> 00:35:18,059
I remember.

371
00:35:42,783 --> 00:35:45,092
You failed them.

372
00:35:46,103 --> 00:35:48,378
Now she's gonna kill you.

373
00:35:48,463 --> 00:35:50,215
You lose, mate.

374
00:35:54,623 --> 00:35:57,695
Sorry, ma'am, but it's my job.

375
00:36:31,823 --> 00:36:34,212
Do it fast, OK?

376
00:36:36,783 --> 00:36:38,774
He said you would do it.

377
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:40,854
Who said?

378
00:36:42,383 --> 00:36:44,180
Me.

379
00:36:45,503 --> 00:36:47,494
It was me.

380
00:36:48,543 --> 00:36:50,773
I saw it.

381
00:36:50,863 --> 00:36:54,538
I was here the whole time,
talking and singing.

382
00:36:56,583 --> 00:36:58,778
There was a song.

383
00:36:59,703 --> 00:37:03,332
- What are you talking about?
- I don't know.

384
00:37:03,423 --> 00:37:05,937
Please, I don't remember.

385
00:37:06,023 --> 00:37:08,412
Don't make me remember.

386
00:37:09,903 --> 00:37:13,896
Make it so I forget again!
I did what you wanted!

387
00:37:16,663 --> 00:37:19,131
There's something here.

388
00:37:24,183 --> 00:37:27,255
Oh God, no. Please. I need that.

389
00:37:28,663 --> 00:37:31,336
I can't cry this soul out of me.

390
00:37:31,423 --> 00:37:33,857
It won't come.

391
00:37:34,343 --> 00:37:37,062
I've killed, and I can feel them.

392
00:37:38,103 --> 00:37:40,901
I can feel every one of 'em.

393
00:37:49,223 --> 00:37:52,135
There's something playing with us.

394
00:37:52,223 --> 00:37:54,020
All of us.

395
00:37:59,623 --> 00:38:01,853
What is it?

396
00:38:01,943 --> 00:38:04,411
Why is it doing this to me?

397
00:38:05,663 --> 00:38:07,460
I don't know.

398
00:38:12,383 --> 00:38:14,055
Help me.

399
00:38:17,583 --> 00:38:19,380
Can you help me?

400
00:38:22,663 --> 00:38:24,654
<i>(Buffy)</i> I'll help you.

401
00:38:29,383 --> 00:38:31,692
<i>(Anya)</i> And you believe him?

402
00:38:31,783 --> 00:38:36,299
<i>(Buffy)</i> You didn't see him down there.
He really didn't know what he'd done.

403
00:38:36,383 --> 00:38:38,692
It wasn't in his control.

404
00:38:38,783 --> 00:38:42,935
Oh, an out-of-control serial killer.
You're right, that <i>is</i> a great house guest.

405
00:38:43,023 --> 00:38:46,379
Wait. Is he... is he staying here?

406
00:38:46,463 --> 00:38:50,820
I don't know. But I'm not letting him
out of my sight, that's for sure.

407
00:38:50,903 --> 00:38:54,498
Buffy, he's been feeding on human blood.
That's gotta do stuff.

408
00:38:54,583 --> 00:38:58,132
I'm not keeping him around just to help him.

409
00:38:58,223 --> 00:39:02,535
I think there was something there,
talking to him, making him do things.

410
00:39:02,623 --> 00:39:05,456
Something like what was talking to us?

411
00:39:05,543 --> 00:39:09,900
Maybe. And if it was, then it's been
screwing with Spike big time.

412
00:39:09,983 --> 00:39:12,258
So, you want him around because...?

413
00:39:12,343 --> 00:39:14,652
There's something evil working us,

414
00:39:14,743 --> 00:39:19,100
and to have a chance to fight it,
we need to learn everything we can about it.

415
00:39:19,183 --> 00:39:22,061
This thing has been
closer to Spike than any of us.

416
00:39:22,143 --> 00:39:26,978
- And if you wanna understand it...
- I'm gonna have to get close to Spike.

417
00:39:27,063 --> 00:39:29,497
- It's too dangerous.
- <i>(Buffy)</i> I don't have a choice.

418
00:39:29,583 --> 00:39:32,416
Whatever this thing is from beneath us,

419
00:39:32,503 --> 00:39:34,971
it's bad,

420
00:39:35,063 --> 00:39:38,180
and it's only getting worse.

421
00:39:46,343 --> 00:39:48,334
Oh, dear God!

422
00:39:51,303 --> 00:39:53,692
Robson, are you here?

423
00:39:55,343 --> 00:39:57,174
Robson?

424
00:39:57,263 --> 00:39:59,060
<i>(groaning)</i>

425
00:40:05,423 --> 00:40:07,983
You too?

426
00:40:15,423 --> 00:40:18,301
- Dear God, I thought you were...
- Gather them.

427
00:40:18,383 --> 00:40:20,977
- What?
- It's started.

428
00:40:21,743 --> 00:40:24,940
It's all right. I understand.
I'll take care...
