00:20fog loss there's almost no chance that she's ever gonna regain consciousness
00:27you're really strong i like it i've worked too long
00:35too long to let some little bitch threaten this project maggie walsh set you up maggie wanted me
00:45dead didn't she mommy why does it bug you so much that i'm hanging with her it bugs me
01:00that she's using you to infiltrate our operation saying she's a spy oh no it's too long
01:05what the bad guys are
01:18i squirt them out
01:32they smell good don't they
01:35what clean sheets like summer i wouldn't know right i forgot i noticed
01:52i wish i could stay but oh you have to go that's just with little sis coming i know
02:01there's so much to do before she gets here
02:11now i really have to so go don't let me keep
02:19damn just when we made it so nice
02:31are you ever going to take this thing out
03:01so
03:31so
03:59you
04:01so here it is the latest in state-of-the-art combat technology
04:09i gotta say it doesn't look that complicated so can you repair it sure just as soon as i get
04:15my master's degree in advanced starship technology well why don't we experiment
04:22press some buttons see what happens i'd like to veto that second it's called a blaster will
04:30a word that tends to discourage experimentation now if it were called the orgasm nader i'd be
04:36the first to try your basic button press approach just tell me can you repair it or not i'm working
04:41on it i'm working on it i blow a hole in my mom's azalea patch the neighbors will not be pleased
04:52you're all right
04:56you've been patrolling around the clock for three days straight perhaps you could use some
05:00what some rest there's a demonoid killing machine out there giles it doesn't only work the night
05:07shift i was going to say perhaps you could use some backup but um now you mention it
05:16gathering your strength might not be a bad idea just get the blaster working it's all the strength
05:23i need are you sure why because ray guns aren't in the slayer handbook well you haven't seen
05:30this adam thing hey he's the terminator without the bashful charm and he's deadly and the last
05:36time we met he kicked my ass oh no blast away by all means i only meant no word about riley
05:51they keep telling me that he's fine that's all they'll say maybe they're telling the truth
05:57maybe i don't even know what the initiative's version of fine is and they could be forcing
06:04him back onto medication or torturing him for all i know from what we've seen i doubt they'll be
06:10trying to hurt him the only thing that i know for certain is that my boyfriend is locked away
06:15and i'm not helping maybe giles has a point i mean riley is their top gun guy
06:23it doesn't make sense that they'd hurt him the initiative has all those brainwashy
06:29behavior modification guys so so what happens when they start not liking his behavior
06:53so
07:00stand down soldier
07:04stand down before i put you down you heard the man at ease

07:50absolutely riley here is about to explain why he's leaving us so very quickly i don't explain
07:56because i don't have to i'm the one in charge things change do they hey in case you fail to
08:04notice when the world of hurt around here now's the time for us to band together not go flying
08:09off our separate ways force tells a point right we have a problem we deal with that problem
08:15you know the most important part of the equation now is that we keep said problem within the family
08:22family is that where we are
08:28step aside
08:41do you think it's gonna rain
08:53nonsense it's a beautiful day now eat your sandwich
08:58i don't know it's just it always seems like it starts raining right about now
09:03you're too young and too pretty a girl to start wearing worry lines on your face
09:12hey there little fella
09:16i don't know where you belong but it's not here with us
09:22there you go you see there's nothing gonna spoil our time together who wants cheesecake

17:07tell me
17:13well it was a tragedy really lots of students died the principal the mayor
17:23i really think maybe i should get you some help
17:27so
17:37you know i never stopped thinking about you
17:43me neither all i had in there
17:48it's one little part of you it's just the scarf part of me really i'm serious
17:54just knowing you were out there that you cared
18:04i think we're being watched i don't know does the initiative do that
18:10does the initiative do that
18:14maybe you see him a little somewhere else
18:25is there anything i can do
18:32give me an order that's what i do isn't it follow orders you don't have to
18:41don't i
18:45all my life that's what i've been groomed to do they say jump i ask how high i get the job done
18:53just don't know if it's the right job anymore
19:00and how you feel
19:01well trials used to be part of this council and for years all they ever did was give me orders
19:11ever obey them sure
19:16the ones i was going to do anyway the point is i quit the council
19:25and i was scared but it's okay now see that's where you and i are different
19:31i just suck at the whole gray area thing it's a choice
19:38and go back in there and maybe make some changes from the inside
19:43or you you can quit the team fight demons in your own way make it sound so simple
19:52i don't even know what my way is it's time to find out i'm a soldier take that away what's left
20:01of me
20:03good man
20:08so
20:25are you doing i i'm looking for brainwashy chips in your head
20:31huh
20:35finding any not sure but i should probably keep looking just in case
20:43you've been strong long enough riley finn
20:47i am gonna help you and we're gonna find this demon and we're gonna kill it together
20:55and in the meantime you are gonna stop torturing yourself
21:01sure about that
21:04it's in order
21:14so what do you mean she just wasn't there i don't know i came to check the monitors like
21:19i always do at eight o'clock eight o'clock is my shift i got here on time you found the bed in
21:26this condition i haven't touched a thing get the duty rosters and check the log i want to know
21:31exactly what happened coma patients do not just get up and walk away we are checking every room
21:38on every floor walk me through this one more time you knew this woman was wanted for questioning in
21:44a series of murders there's no security on this one you don't understand there's no way that girl
21:50was going to wake up doctor this can't be happening did you find her
21:54another woman unconscious and badly beaten and she's been stripped
21:58it's happened send the team
22:28so
22:44and
22:58so
23:02so
23:26the president seems to me it's way out of mistake torment as long as he has
23:30one that's not making performance art out of other demons that is he's probably working off
23:36an autonomic power source because he's straight out of the box needs to charge up a while okay
23:43what's he charging up for basing the clues i'll go with killing spree and that's a best
23:48case scenario i suppose a little firepower would be a good idea right now
23:54hey how'd you do that
24:03is there like an on off button somewhere in here blasters are easy adam won't be
24:09since professor walsh designed it any chance she left instructions lying around
24:15well if she did they're going to be in the initiative which we can't get into
24:19mounting a major offensive speak for yourself
24:25i'm just saying i must admit a man on the inside would be a really good idea are you sure you want
24:31to be double agent guy i'm not exactly sure what you call me but i will share information
24:38it's the least i can do riley's right it is the least we can do
24:51hello yes she is um it's for you
24:57hello speaking
25:12what sort of emergency
25:22um no i haven't
25:27thank you i'll i'll let you know
25:31what is it
25:35it's faith
25:38she's awake
25:45she beat someone up took her clothing and disappeared out of the hospital
25:50no one knows where she is i'd say this qualifies for a worst timing ever award
25:56what do we do well we have to find her what about adam i'd hate to see the pursuit of a
26:03homicidal lunatic get in the way of pursuing a homicidal lunatic well faith's not exactly
26:08low profile girl i'll patrol and wait for her to make a move but then what oh i have an idea
26:16beat the crap out of her good plan good on paper but we still have a decision to make
26:22do we hand her over to the cops they wouldn't know what to do with a slayer even if they knew
26:28we existed what about the council been there tried that not unlike smothering a forest fire
26:35with napalm as i recall well the initiative they do have containment facilities one word evil
26:43there's no way around it faith is back and whether i like it or not she's my responsibility
26:52yeah too bad that was the funnest coma ever we have no idea where she is we don't know
27:00what she's thinking what she's feeling who she's doing she could be terrified
27:06maybe she doesn't even remember or maybe she does and and she's sorry and she's alone hiding
27:13somewhere well perhaps there's some form of rehabilitation we just haven't thought about
27:21and if not ass kicking makes a solid plan b i'm not gonna rule it out
27:28first thing we need to find her then we can take it from there
27:32who's faith what did you tell him the truth that she's my wacky identical cousin from england
27:44whenever she visits hijinks ensue it's good you guys have such an honest relationship
27:52i told him the story i vagued up a few bits but no flat out lies that's fair
27:59how'd you handle the angely parts i did some editing it's not that i'm trying to hide anything
28:05from miley it's just that's a longer conversation and i had a faith hunt to do any luck couldn't
28:14find her don't know exactly where to place that in the luck continuum at least you're not alone
28:19on this i'll bet every cop in sunny and yellow is out there looking for it right now pressure
28:25pressure is definitely high i'll tell you if i were her i get out of dodge post hasty you're not me
28:43so check you out v nice the big girl on campus thing's really working for you
28:50i've been looking for you i've been standing still for eight months fee how hard you look
28:58are you all right five by five that's the thing about a coma
29:03wake up all rested and rejuvenated and ready for payback
29:09so much for pleasantries huh what'd you think i'd wake up and we'd go for tea
29:14tried to gut me blondie you'd have done the same to me if you'd had the chance
29:19let's have another go at it see you lens on top
29:24it doesn't have to be like this you know actually i think it has to be exactly like this
29:31faith these are innocent people no such animal
29:36i guess there was too much to hope that you'd use your downtime to reflect and grow
29:41could say the same about you i mean you're still the same old better than now buffy i mean i knew
29:47it somehow i kept having this dream i'm not sure what it means but in the dream this self-righteous
29:53blonde chick stabs me and you want to know why you had it coming that's one interpretation but
30:00in my dream she does it for a guy try it red and you lose an arm i wake up to find out that this
30:08blonde chick isn't even dating the guy she was so nuts about before i mean she's moved on to the
30:13first college beefstick she meets not only is she forgotten about the love of her life
30:20she's forgotten all about the chick she nearly killed for him so that's my dream that and some
30:27stuff about cigars and tunnel but uh tell me college girl what does it mean
30:37to me mostly but you still mouth off about things you don't understand
30:44uh-oh i guess somebody knows you're here
30:57oh you took my life b paybacks a bitch look who's talking see you around
31:27so
31:44thanks for coming with hunting for a psychopathic super bitch is definitely in the above and beyond
31:51category it's okay really so um what do we do if we find her run flee maybe skedaddle
32:02we're not here to engage this is strictly recon
32:08what you said recon you're like cool monster fighter well technically faith isn't a monster
32:17and as far as fighting i'd be lucky to bruise her fists with my face
32:22oh what face punching i'm not so good with the whole
32:30swimming violence don't worry we're sure to spot faith first she's like this cleavagey
32:38slut bomb walking around going oh check me out i'm wicked cool i'm five by five
32:45five by five five what by five what see that's the thing no one knows
32:53but we can handle faith and you're plenty safe with me
32:59so um we recon till nightfall then the ritual hiding begins
33:06the point being i could be the target here faith finds mr xander harris still at an odd
33:17there she goes tighter than catgut got a lot of pent-up feelings there i'm only saying yes i'm
33:24sure see i can't be held responsible for the effect i have on women no see faith and i have
33:32this little thing between us called history
33:46so
34:02spike what are you doing here me hey i'm not the one out of place here for your information
34:10smarty we've got a rogue slayer in our hands real psycho killer too sounds serious it is
34:18what do you know what do you need her dark hair yay tall name of faith criminally insane
34:28have you seen her is this bird after you in a bad way yeah tell you what i'll do then head out
34:37find a skull tell her exactly where all of you are and then watch as she kills you
34:52can any one of your damn little scooby club at least try to remember that i hate you all
35:00just because i can't do the damage myself doesn't stop me from aiming a loose cannon your way
35:07and here i thought the evening would be dull
35:11go ahead you wouldn't even recognize her dark hair this tall name of faith
35:18criminally insane like this girl already
35:27we were dumb
35:36so
36:06so
36:36all right
37:06oh faith a friend sent me i got a little remembrance from him
37:37so
37:57hello faith if you're watching this tape it can only mean one thing
38:03i'm dead and our noble campaign to bring order to the town of sunnydale has failed
38:14utterly and completely but on the other hand heck maybe we won
38:22and right now i'm on some jumbo monitor in the richard wilkins museum surrounded by a bunch of
38:29kids sitting indian style and looking up at my face filled with fear and wonder hi kids
38:41but the realist in me tends to doubt it
38:48now faith as i record this message you're uh
38:53you're sleeping and the doctors tell me that you might never wake up i don't believe that
39:02sooner or later you will wake up and when you do you'll find the world has gone and changed on you
39:11i wish i could make the world a better place for you to wake up in
39:15but the toughest it is to accept we both have to understand that even my power to protect and watch
39:23over you has its limits you see the hard pill to swallow here is that once i'm gone
39:36your days are just plain numbered
39:39now i know i know you're a you're a you're a smart and capable young woman in charge of her
39:45own life but the problem faith is that um there won't be a place for you in the world anymore
39:54right now i bet you're feeling very much alone
39:59but you're never alone
40:00you'll always have me
40:03and

41:07she's a very dangerous woman okay i get it really faith bad do i look like i'm arguing
41:16not yet but you always make that innocent face right before you start figure that out huh
41:24damn took mom 12 years to catch that one all i'm saying is if you're in trouble i want to help
41:31you can't give me one reason why
41:36that's one okay i'm not exactly action guy but i mean there's got to be something i can do besides
41:44sit around here waiting for you to pummel this gal riley the fact that you just called faith the
