TVTranscript
00:00So long, I've nearly forgotten what it's like on the surface.
00:03Who's that?
00:04That must be Angel.
00:05A vampire in love with a Slayer.
00:08It's rather poetic.
00:09And in this time shall come the Anointed,
00:13and the Slayer will not know him,
00:16and he will lead her into Hell.
00:20The Diagramon Codex.
00:21Codex.
00:23It's reputed to have contained the most complete prophecies about the Slayer.
00:27I can get it.
00:31In a while.
00:37You know how I feel about you.
00:39It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
00:42There's never been anyone else for me but you.
00:48And we're good friends, and it's time to take the next step.
00:54Would you, um, date me?
00:58Oh, that's good.
01:00Date me.
01:01Terrible, right?
01:03Huh?
01:04Oh, no.
01:06Oh, yes, date me, silly.
01:08See, what I should do is I should just start with talking about the dance.
01:14You know, Buffy, Spring Fling just isn't any dance.
01:18It's a time for students to choose, um, a mate,
01:22and then we can observe their mating rituals
01:27and tag them before they migrate.
01:29Just kill me.
01:31You're doing fine.
01:33Why is it so hard?
01:34I should just walk up to her and say,
01:35hey, I like you, let's go to the dance together.
01:37Directing to the point.
01:39I'm ready.
01:41I want to do it now.
01:43I gotta do it now.
01:45Oh, Buffy's not here.
01:46You can practice on me some more.
01:48No, I can't wait till tomorrow.
01:50I'll be thinking about it too much.
01:52Why didn't Buffy show up tonight?
01:55What's she doing?
01:57You know, the usual.
02:07What was that?
02:08What was what?
02:25Someone's out there.
02:27That's silly. Who would be out there?
02:56Three in one night.
02:59Giles would be so proud.
03:26The Master shall rise.
03:29Yes, this is it.
03:32The Master shall rise,
03:35and the Slayer...
03:42My car.
03:44My car.
03:46My car.
03:48My car.
03:50My car.
03:52My car.
03:54My car.
04:00Shit.
04:02Shit.
04:32Shit.
04:46Yes.
04:48Yes!
04:50Shakers, this is a sign.
04:53We are in the final days.
04:56My time has come.
04:58Glory, glory.
05:03What do you think?
05:055.1?
05:325.1.
06:025.1.
06:20Morning.
06:23Wow, the damage looks fairly structural.
06:26Are we safe in here?
06:28Buffy.
06:32Do I have something on my face?
06:34No.
06:36And yes, we're safe.
06:38But probably best not to go out there.
06:44How are you doing there, Giles?
06:46Did you get much sleep last night?
06:49I've been working.
06:51Me too. I went hunting last night,
06:53and it is awfully sweet of you to ask.
06:56It's getting hairy out there, Giles.
06:58I killed three vampires last night.
07:00One of them was practically on school grounds.
07:03The numbers are increasing.
07:05And they're getting cockier.
07:07Look, I'm not loving it.
07:09Last night was a pretty close call.
07:11Yes.
07:13Giles, care?
07:15I'm putting my life on the line battling the undead.
07:19Look, I broke a nail, okay?
07:21Look, I'm wearing a press on.
07:23The least you could do is exhibit some casual interest.
07:27You could go, hmm.
07:30Hmm?
07:32I'm sorry.
07:34I'm very glad that you're all right.
07:37I need to verify...
07:39I just can't really talk right now.
07:42Fine. That's okay.
07:44I can't put it off any longer.
07:46I have to meet my terrible fate.
07:48What?
07:50Biology.
07:53PHONE RINGS
08:03Wow, that was boring.
08:05I don't feel that boring covers it.
08:07No. Boring falls short.
08:09Even I was bored.
08:11And I'm a science nerd.
08:13Don't say that.
08:15I'm not ashamed. It's the computer age.
08:17Nerds are in.
08:19They're still in, right?
08:21Willow, don't you have a thing?
08:23A thing?
08:26The thing that I have,
08:28which is a thing that I have to go to.
08:32See you later.
08:34What on earth is her deal?
08:36Uh, she's Willow.
08:38So, uh, Buffy, I wanted to, um...
08:42There was this thing I wanted to ask you to talk to you about.
08:46Okay, what's up?
08:48Let's go over here and sit.
08:50Okay, now you're making me nervous.
08:52Oh, no, no, there's nothing to be nervous about.
08:54Really, it's silly.
08:56Hey, leave.
08:58Thanks.
09:04Well?
09:06Um...
09:11You know, Buffy, uh, spring fling is a time for students to gather and...
09:18Oh, God.
09:23Buffy, I want you to go to the dance with me,
09:25you and me, on a date.
09:32I don't know what to say.
09:34Well, you're not laughing, so that's a good start.
09:39Buffy, I like you.
09:41A lot.
09:44And I know we're friends, and we've had experiences,
09:48and we've fought some blood-sucking fiends,
09:51and that's all been a good time.
09:55But I want more.
09:59I want to dance with you.
10:02Xander, you're one of my best friends.
10:04You and Willow.
10:06Well, Willow's not looking to date you.
10:09Or if she is, she's playing it pretty close to the chest.
10:13I don't want to spoil the friendship that we have.
10:16I don't want to spoil it either.
10:18But that's not the point, is it?
10:21You either feel a thing, or you don't.
10:30I don't.
10:33Xander, I'm sorry.
10:36I just don't think of you that way.
10:39Well, try.
10:41I'll wait.
10:43Xander.
10:44No.
10:46Forget it.
10:49I'm not him.
10:51And I guess the guy's got to be undead to make time with you.
10:55That's really harsh.
10:59Look, I'm sorry.
11:01I don't handle rejection well.
11:04Funny, considering all the practice I've had, huh?
11:09Xander, I'm sorry. I never...
11:11You know what?
11:14Let's just not.
11:32Hello.
11:34This is Giles.
11:36Rupert Giles.
11:40I need to see you.
11:43No, I realize that.
11:45Come after sundown.
11:48Good. I'll see you then.
11:55You know, that outfit looks just like the one you wore yesterday.
11:59Only wrinklier.
12:01Were you here all night?
12:03Sorry.
12:05Probably up to socializing just now.
12:08Something's going on, Rupert, and I'm guessing you already know what it is.
12:14What do you know?
12:16Well, I have been surfing the net, looking for unexplained incidents.
12:21You know, people are always sending stuff my way.
12:23They know the occult's my turf.
12:26Well, here is the latest.
12:30A cat last week gave birth to a litter of snakes.
12:34Family was swimming in Whisper Lake when the lake suddenly began to boil.
12:39And Mercy Hospital, last night, a boy was born with his eyes facing inward.
12:45I'm not stupid.
12:47This is apocalypse stuff.
12:50You throw in last night's earthquake, and I'd say we've got a problem.
12:54I would say the end is pretty seriously nigh.
12:58I don't know if I can trust you.
13:00I helped you cast that demon out of the Internet. I think that merits some trust.
13:05Look, I'm scared, okay?
13:08Plus, I've got this crazy monk emailing me from Cortona about some anointed one.
13:15Anointed one? He's dead.
13:18Someone's dead?
13:20Who is this monk?
13:22A Brother Luca something.
13:24Keeps sending out global mailings about a prophecy.
13:27I need you to talk to him.
13:29I don't think he knows.
13:30Look, Rupert, you haven't told me Jack, so what's with the order?
13:33Just do it.
13:35I'll explain later.
13:39You better.
13:41I'll get everything tonight after practice. The guys will help.
13:45Well, it's on the A.V. room, the sound system and the decorations.
13:48And, oh, Ora needs help moving the coolers.
13:52Don't sway.
13:54Well, bring everything to the bronze, and I'll meet you there in the morning.
13:58Done.
14:00You're so sweet. Why are you so sweet?
14:03I don't know. Because I'm usually mean as a snake.
14:08Willow, I'll see you in the morning.
14:11Okay.
14:12Willow, I really like your outfit.
14:15No, you don't.
14:16No, I really don't, but I need a favor.
14:19What kind?
14:20Well, the bronze won't let us use their sound system, and I need someone that knows how to hook one up.
14:24If you could just show up tomorrow morning, I'd be really, really grateful.
14:28I mean, I'd talk to you at the dance and everything.
14:31Sure.
14:33Great. Tomorrow at ten?
14:35Sure.
14:41Hey.
14:42Hey.
14:44How'd it go?
14:46On a scale of one to ten, it sucked.
14:50Oh.
14:52Well, I guess it could be worse.
14:55I could have gangrene on my face.
14:58Well, what'd she say?
15:00Apart from, no, does it really matter?
15:03She's still jonesing for Angel and can care less about me.
15:07At least now you know.
15:09Yeah, you're right.
15:11The deal's done.
15:14The polls are in, and it's time for my concession speech.
15:18Yeah, I know what we'll do.
15:21We can go.
15:23Be my date. We'll have a great time.
15:26We'll dance. We'll go wild.
15:28What do you say?
15:30No.
15:31Good.
15:33What?
15:35There's no way.
15:37Lilo, come on.
15:40You think I want to go to the dance with you and watch you wish you were at the dance with her?
15:46You think that's my idea of hijinks?
15:49You should know better.
15:52I didn't think.
15:55I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
15:59I'll see you on Monday.
16:04That's okay.
16:06I don't want to go.
16:09I'm just gonna go home,
16:12lie down,
16:14and listen to country music.
16:17The music of pain.
16:45Shh.
17:01Giles, you're not gonna believe this.
17:04It's clear. It's what's gonna happen.
17:06It's happening now.
17:09Angel?
17:11It can't be. You've gotta be wrong.
17:14I've checked it against all my other volumes. It's very real.
17:17Well, there's gotta be some way around it.
17:20Listen, some prophecies are a bit dodgy. They're mutable.
17:24Buffy herself has thwarted them time and time again.
17:27But this is the Codex. There is nothing in it that does not come to pass.
17:31Then you're reading it wrong.
17:33I wish to God I were.
17:35But it's very plain.
17:37Tomorrow night, Buffy will face the Master, and she will die.
17:49Well, have you verified the text?
18:08So that's it, huh?
18:13I remember the drill.
18:18One slayer dies, next one's called.
18:22Wonder who she is.
18:29Will you train her,
18:32or will they send someone else?
18:36Buffy, I...
18:38To say how he's gonna kill me?
18:42Do you think it'll hurt?
18:45Don't touch me!
18:52You weren't gonna tell me?
18:56I was hoping that I wouldn't have to, that there was some way around it.
19:02I've got a way around it. I quit.
19:06It's not that simple.
19:08I'm making it that simple. I quit.
19:12I resign. I'm fired.
19:14You can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over.
19:18I'm not sure that anyone else can.
19:21The signs indicate...
19:23Signs?
19:25Read me the signs!
19:28Give me my fortune!
19:31You're so useful, sitting here with all of your books!
19:34You're really a lot of help!
19:38I don't suppose I am.
19:42I know this is hard.
19:44What do you know about this?
19:46You're never gonna die.
19:48You think I want anything to happen to you?
19:50Do you think I could stand it?
19:52We just gotta figure out a way.
19:54I already did.
19:56I quit, remember? Pay attention!
20:00But if the Master rises...
20:02I don't care!
20:11I don't care.
20:18Charles, I'm 16 years old.
20:21I don't want to die.
20:51I don't want to die.
21:21I don't want to die.
21:40Hi, honey.
21:45You all right?
21:48Sure.
21:50Probably just full from that bite of dinner you nearly had.
21:56Feel like telling me what's on your mind?
22:02Mom, let's go away.
22:04What?
22:06Anywhere, just for a while. A weekend.
22:08Honey, I...
22:10No, it'll be great. You and me, a mother-daughter thing.
22:12We can talk about all the embarrassing things you love to bring up.
22:15You know the gallery's open on weekends.
22:18Mom, please.
22:20Isn't the prom tomorrow night?
22:22Or spring fling, whatever they're calling it?
22:27I guess.
22:29Nobody asked you?
22:31Who?
22:33Someone.
22:35Not the right someone.
22:37See, sometimes I actually do know what you're thinking.
22:41Well, then, this probably isn't the best time for this, but...
22:49I love you.
22:54I saw you eyeing it at the store. I figured...
22:57Mom, we can't afford this.
22:59The way you've been eating, we can afford it.
23:06It's beautiful.
23:08I think you should wear it to the dance.
23:11No.
23:13I can't go to the dance.
23:15Says who?
23:17Somewhere you should do what you want.
23:20Homecoming, my freshman year of college.
23:23I didn't have a date, so I got dressed up and I went anyway.
23:27Was it awful?
23:29It was awful.
23:31For about an hour.
23:33Then what happened?
23:35I met your father.
23:38He didn't have a date, either?
23:41He did.
23:43That's a much funnier story that you will not get to hear.
23:48Oh, but it was a beautiful night.
23:52You had your whole life ahead of you.
23:55Yeah.
24:01Must be nice.
24:07Kevin said he'd bring everything to the proms last night.
24:10He promised.
24:12We'll never get everything ready in time.
24:15He probably forgot.
24:17It's not that big a deal.
24:19You don't understand.
24:21I'm not mad.
24:23He totally flaked on me. On me.
24:26And I don't even care.
24:28God help me, I think it's cute.
24:35There they are.
24:37They're watching cartoons.
24:39That's so cute.
24:41That's annoying.
24:43I'm annoyed.
24:45Right. I'm furious.
24:47Men, I don't know why we put up with them.
24:50I hear you.
24:52Obviously, Kevin has underestimated the power of my icy stare.
24:57Oh, my God!
24:59Kevin!
25:01No!
25:05Kevin!
25:11Kevin!
25:41Buffy?
25:43There's something on the news. Willow.
25:48I've seen so much.
25:51I thought I could take anything.
25:55But, Buffy, this...
25:58This was different.
26:01It'll be all right.
26:04I'm trying to think how to say it.
26:08To explain it so you understand.
26:12It doesn't matter as long as you're okay.
26:16I'm not okay.
26:19I knew those guys.
26:22I go to that room every day.
26:26And when I walked in there,
26:29it...
26:32It wasn't our world anymore.
26:36They made it theirs.
26:40And they had fun.
26:46What are we gonna do?
26:50Well, we have to.
26:59Promise me you'll stay in tonight, okay?
27:06Buffy?
27:10I like your dress.
27:18Take care.
27:36Soon.
27:51Soon.
27:56Okay, so this map...
27:59This is the map of the world.
28:03Okay, so this master guy tried to open the hell mouth.
28:07But he got stuck in it.
28:09And now all the signs are reading that he's gonna get out,
28:12which opens the hell mouth,
28:14which brings the demons,
28:16which ends the world.
28:18Yes, that sums it up, yes.
28:21The part that gets me, though,
28:23is where Buffy is the vampire slayer.
28:26She's so little.
28:28Did you manage to get in touch with this Brother Luca chap?
28:31As far as I can tell, no one can.
28:34He's disappeared.
28:36Did send out one last global, though.
28:38Short one.
28:40What did it say?
28:42Isaiah 11.6, which I dutifully looked up.
28:44The wolf shall live with the lamb,
28:46the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
28:49the calf, the lion and the fatling together,
28:52and the little child shall lead them.
28:55It's kind of warm and fuzzy for a message of doom.
28:58Well, that depends where he's leading them to.
29:00Aurelius wrote of the Anointed One,
29:03the slayer will not know him and he will lead her into hell.
29:06So Luca thinks the Anointed is a kid.
29:09If the vampire that Buffy killed
29:12was in fact not the Anointed,
29:15then it may well be.
29:17Well, then we need to warn her.
29:19I don't intend involving her at all.
29:23What do you mean?
29:25Buffy's not gonna face the Master.
29:28I am.
29:30No, you're not.
29:33So I'm looking for a kid, huh?
29:35And he'll lead me to the Master?
29:37Buffy, I'm not gonna send you out there to die.
29:40You were right. I've waited about in these old books for so long,
29:43I've forgotten what the real world is like.
29:46It's time I found out.
29:48You're still not going up against the Master?
29:50I've made up my mind.
29:52So have I.
29:54I made up mine first.
29:56I'm wiser than you.
29:58Just do what you're told for once.
30:00All right?
30:02That's not how it goes.
30:04I'm the slayer.
30:06I don't care what the books say.
30:08I defy prophecy and I'm going.
30:10There's nothing you can say will change my mind.
30:13I know.
30:27When he wakes up, tell him...
30:32I don't know.
30:34Think of something cool. Tell him I said it.
30:38You fight the Master and you'll die.
30:42Maybe.
30:46Maybe I'll take him with me.
30:56Come on.
31:20Help me.
31:27It's okay.
31:29I know who you are.
31:52She what?
31:54He told you there was something going on with her?
31:57And she knew about this prophecy of yours?
32:00Oh, man, what do we do?
32:02We stay calm, first thing.
32:04Calm?
32:06I think he's right.
32:08I'm sorry. Calm may work for Locutus or the Borg here,
32:10but I'm freaked out and I intend to stay that way.
32:12Xander.
32:13How could you let her go?
32:15As the soon-to-be purple area on my jaw will attest,
32:17I did not let her go.
32:19Well, how can we help her?
32:21She wakes up, but we also have an apocalypse to worry about.
32:24Do you mind?
32:26How come she's in the club?
32:28Hey.
32:30Once the Master gets free, the hell mouth opens,
32:32the demons come to party, and everybody dies.
32:35I don't care. I'm sorry. I don't.
32:38Right now I gotta help Buffy.
32:40We don't even know where she's gone.
32:42No.
32:44But I can find out.
32:51Hmm.
33:22Oh.
33:24Look who's here.
33:26Mind if I come in?
33:28Make yourself at home.
33:30She's gone.
33:32What do you mean?
33:34Buffy. She's gone to fight the Master.
33:36He'll kill her.
33:38Rumor has it.
33:40Only we're not gonna let it happen.
33:42What do you propose we do about it?
33:44Look.
33:46I know you can find this Master guy.
33:48He's underground, right?
33:50Take me to him.
33:52You're way out of your league, kid.
33:54That Master will kill you
33:56before you can even breathe,
33:58if you're lucky.
34:02How can I say this clearly?
34:09I don't like you.
34:11At the end of the day,
34:13I pretty much think you're a vampire.
34:16But Buffy's got this big old yin for you.
34:19She thinks you're a real person.
34:23And right now, I need you to prove her right.
34:26You're in love with her.
34:30Aren't you?
34:32The Master is as old as any vampire on record.
34:35There's no telling how powerful he'll be
34:37if he reaches the surface.
34:39Okay, here's my question.
34:41The hell is the Master?
34:43Okay, here's my question.
34:45The hell mouth opens.
34:47Yes.
34:50Where?
34:52If he's underground and it's right where he is,
34:55where's it gonna open?
34:57Good point.
34:59Look, you have a look through the Black Chronicles.
35:01Willow?
35:03Willow?
35:05Huh?
35:06Could you look through the local histories, please?
35:08Just check for any common denominators,
35:10locations of incidents and such.
35:13Right, okay.
35:43Welcome.
36:01Thanks for having me.
36:06You know, you really ought to talk to your contractor.
36:08You know, you really ought to talk to your contractor.
36:10You know, you really ought to talk to your contractor.
36:13Looks like you got some water damage.
36:15Oh, good.
36:17The feeble banter portion of the fight.
36:20Why don't we just cut to the...
36:26Nice shot.
36:34What?
36:36You're looking at my neck.
36:37What?
36:38I checked out my neck. I saw that.
36:40No, I wasn't.
36:41Just keep your distance, pal.
36:42I wasn't looking at your neck.
36:45I told you to eat before we left.
36:48You're not going to kill me with that thing.
36:51To be for sure.
36:53You still don't understand your part in all this, do you?
36:59You are not the hunter.
37:03You are the lamb.
37:06Let's think about this.
37:08The vampires have been gathering.
37:10They know he's coming.
37:11They will be his army.
37:14Do you think they'll gather at the Hellmouth?
37:16Well, the last time the Master tried to rise was the Harvest.
37:19He sent a bunch of vampires to get him fresh blood.
37:22Well, where did that go down?
37:24The Bronx.
37:25The prom.
37:27We have to warn them.
37:28No, we'll go.
37:29You have to concentrate on demon killing.
37:31My car's in the lot.
37:33Stay close together.
37:34And for goodness sake, be careful.
37:36We will.
37:50You know, for someone who's all powerful, you sure do like to hide.
37:55I'm waiting for you.
37:58I want this moment to last.
38:03Well, I don't.
38:14I understand.
38:19Can we get to the Bronx before we do?
38:24Don't need to worry about that.
38:26Why not?
38:27Because they're not going to the Bronx.
38:33Okay.
39:04You tried.
39:07It was no good for you.
39:09You heard the prophecy that I was about to break free, and you came to stop me.
39:15But prophecies are tricky creatures.
39:18They don't tell you everything.
39:24You're the one that sets me free.
39:28You're the one that sets me free.
39:33If you hadn't come, I couldn't go.
39:40Think about that.
39:44Yes.
39:55Oh, God.
39:57The power.
40:03By the way,
40:06I like your dress.
40:31What was that?
40:32It's too late. He's going up.
40:43Come on.
41:09She's dead.
41:14No.
41:16She's not dead.
41:18She's not breathing.
41:20What if she drowned?
41:22There's a shot.
41:24CPR.
41:25You have to do it.
41:27I have no breath.
41:43Come on.
41:50Come on.
41:52Come on.
41:56Why are they coming here?
41:58I'm not caring.
42:00Get in.
42:08Come on.
42:11Breathe.
42:14Breathe.
42:18Come on.
42:29Buffy.
42:40Buffy.
42:46Sander.
42:48Welcome back.
42:51I was sitting with Kevin and I at the park
42:53and all of a sudden these things are coming at me.
42:57What do we do now?
42:58We've got to get to the library.
43:00Library. Great.
43:02Come on.
43:09Of course, we generally walk there.
43:33What's happening?
43:54Why are they coming here?
44:02Come on.
44:20My world.
44:24My beautiful world.
44:28Come on.
44:37The bastard.
44:39He's going up.
44:43No, you're still weak.
44:49No.
44:51No, I feel strong.
44:55I feel different.
45:01Let's go.
45:08They're coming in through the stacks.
45:15The bookshelves.
45:20My office.
45:24Come on.
45:34Buffy.
45:46So how do you know where the master's going?
45:48I don't know.
45:55Oh, look, a bad guy.
46:07Okay, you two wait here.
46:09Keep the rest of the vampires off me.
46:11Right.
46:12Angel, better put on your game face.
46:14I'm ready.
46:16One way or another, this won't take long.
46:24Come on.
46:33See how you like it.
46:35This won't keep them out for long.
46:42Help.
46:44Help.
46:55Help.
47:08Yes.
47:10Come forth, my child.
47:14Come into my world.
47:17I don't think it's yours just yet.
47:21You're dead.
47:24I may be dead, but I'm still pretty.
47:28Which is more than I can say for you.
47:31You were destined to die.
47:33It was written.
47:35What can I say?
47:37I flunked the written.
47:41Come here.
47:46Help.
47:54Help.
48:13Did you really think you could desk me here
48:16when you couldn't blow?
48:20You have fruit punch mouth.
48:22What?
48:26Save the hypnosis crap for the tourists.
48:50Help.
49:11Where are your jives now?
49:15Will you laugh when my hell is on earth?
49:19You're that amped about hell?
49:22Go there.
49:44Help.
50:05Vampires?
50:07Gone.
50:09Master?
50:11Dead.
50:14Buffy?
50:17Buffy?
50:20I'm sorry.
50:23It's just been a really weird day.
50:26Yeah, Buffy died and everything.
50:28Wow, harsh.
50:31I should have known that wouldn't stop you.
50:36Well, what do we do now?
50:38I don't know about the rest of you,
50:40but I'd like to get out of this place.
50:42I don't like the library very much anymore.
50:44Hey, I hear there's a dance of the bronze tonight.
50:47Could be fun.
50:49Yeah.
50:50Buffy?
50:52Sure.
50:54We saved the world.
50:56I say we party.
51:01I mean, I got all pretty.
51:05What about him?
51:08He's not going anywhere.
51:12No, sir.
51:20Come on down, sweetheart.
51:22I'm so sick.
51:24I'm just hungry.
51:26I'm really, really hungry.
51:29By the way, I really like your dress.
51:31Yeah, yeah.
51:33Big hit with everyone.
51:35Let's do it.

52:34Grr. Arrgh.
