00:00To be continued
00:31He's dead!
00:37Now that your barbaric horde has killed the slayer
00:43Scream his name!
00:46Dance his clans war stomp!
00:49For he is mighty and merciless!
00:57The funny part about all this
01:01I never even met her
01:06Who the hell are you?
01:15This is f***ed up! You have to leave! Now!
01:19I leave, Yama will bring his whole army upstairs and that's what I was sent here to stop
01:24He will kill you?
01:27Could be
01:28So you have to go!
01:30Get to the surface, tell them he's massing in Weir, tell them they have to hit him now
01:35I didn't lay my fairy eggs inside your inner ear canal to watch you die
01:40Huh?
01:42I said something else
01:44Eggs?
01:45It's not fatal and I didn't do it
01:47Go!
01:50Be here when I get back
01:53Slayer's honor
01:54I love you Buffy
01:57Here's how it works
02:02You don't get a choice
02:04It's so unfair
02:06It's fascism is what it is
02:08We all get detention because Holly Trampo Braeburn leaves her panties in a utility closet?
02:15Okay, so how is that fascism?
02:18Please, crack a book
02:20How does that even happen?
02:22How could you forget to put him back on?
02:25You've really never touched a boy, have you?
02:28I wouldn't touch Mike Billinger with a hazmat suit
02:31Is that what they're called?
02:33You could have turned her in
02:35If he knew they were hers, we didn't all have to get boned
02:40Duh, that's where it's fascism
02:43Hey, any of you seen Holly Braeburn? I need something from her
02:50Mike Billinger?
02:52Yeah, I know you
02:54Oh my god!
02:56Maybe the panties were hers
02:59That is hilarious
03:07And now, I will tell you about the champ
03:17So it's different I guess for different people
03:20Some it's a tickle, they don't even know
03:23Or a rush
03:25Fun
03:27But for me, becoming a Slayer was like Mike Tyson in your face
03:32And not the punching you, Mike Tyson
03:35Ripping your ear off with his teeth, Mike Tyson
03:39The power, the shared memories, the...
03:44Truth
03:46The unbelievable truth
03:50There is no truth
03:55Oh! I broke another one
03:58Something wrong, honey?
04:00I can't control my strength
04:02And I'm having dreams that are strange and disturb me
04:06Dreams of being another girl in another time?
04:09That's amazing! How did you know?
04:12This pamphlet came in the mail
04:14It explains how many modern women and girls are suffering from this unnamed condition
04:19There's a support group?
04:22That's right, just dial 1-800-CHOSEN-1 to meet girls who have this alarming yet fun condition
04:29I will! Now I won't be the only girl breaking vases
04:38This is a cult, right?
04:41What do you think it is?
04:43What do you think is happening to you?
04:46She talks
04:48For a good long while
04:52I listen
04:54I don't have a choice, the way I've been
04:57And truth is, it's not cheesy like the commercial
05:02It's actually amazing
05:05I couldn't put it into words
05:08The one time that guy did pretty well, though
05:12He was visiting, so I guess he's pretty well known
05:17So by extension of extension, yes, I'm famous and fabulous
05:23But not really
05:25You know, ironically, I'm probably even less famous because of the name
05:31First, I'm going to tell you what you probably already know
05:36They even have another girl using it, way more high profile
05:40Doing the party scene in Rome
05:46I've never been to Rome
05:50It's been so long since I ate anything stun like this
05:58Hey, now!
06:01I left you one to wipe with
06:05Assuming you...
06:07No
06:11Tell Yaman of my extraordinary mercy
06:15Tell him Buffy Summers is coming for him
06:22The name
06:24What power
06:30Not the greatest power, though
06:36Is something that
06:37You know what? You've probably heard this
06:40It's pretty standard stuff, how we're all
06:42Connected to one another
06:44All over the world and through history and make a difference
06:47And we're all equal and due for each other and it isn't bullsh**
06:51He was actually really articulate
06:53But, well, it's one thing to hear it
07:06This is it
07:07This is really it
07:09We just gotta...
07:11We gotta...
07:13Gotta...
07:14Just stay out of my way, amateurs
07:21We gotta focus
07:36Good
07:38Work together
07:44I can't believe you did that
07:45That was so large
07:47That guy scared the crap out of me
07:49It was like eight feet tall
07:51You should totally get to keep that sword
07:53I'd rather have a gun
07:59Yeah, I got a souvenir, too
08:02Bet I make squad leader
08:04You took the pipe from me
08:07Think Simone would've done that?
08:10Besides
08:13A hair puffy's got a neck wound, too
08:17The hair
08:19Need a serious dye job and you'd have to maintain it yourself
08:23Body type, height are good
08:25Have to pad a bra a little, but we're counting on these guys never to actually have seen her
08:30You get what all this is
08:33You want me to be Buffy?
08:35Sounds a lot more glam than it is
08:38We'd be sending you underground, under actual ground
08:42No one up here can know you're her
08:44No one down there can know you're not
08:47It's deep cover and it's unbelievably dangerous
08:51We know next to nothing about the under-community
08:54Except that they're strong and they might be headed up
08:57Yamon's the name down there
08:59If you know his name
09:01He probably knows her, so yeah
09:03A decoy might keep him occupied
09:06Might do some internal damage
09:08I'm looking at you for this, so I gotta figure you want the truth
09:12As in?
09:16Why me?
09:21Did I get the hardest, darkest path to walk because I'm strong, I'm good
09:26Because I can handle the heavier burden?
09:30Or am I weak, expendable, the one that won't be missed?
09:36The truth?
09:41There is no truth
09:46There's just what you believe
09:54You passed the test
09:57The last one to fall this far
10:00Years ago, he gave us your language
10:04Ran this pretty necklace because he didn't pass
10:10Everything's kinda... swimmy
10:13Now your odor will please all the slime folk
10:18Safe passage is assured
10:22The demon horde are eating you guys alive
10:25The only way you're gonna survive is to get in this together
10:29Blasphemy
10:31Ew, they're slime! They're made of slime!
10:36Hey, I don't wanna hear it
10:39Yamon's troops are coming up and they will go right through you to get to my people
10:44You have to stand together, and that includes the Raven Clan and the...
10:49That thing that looks like a leaf blower
10:53This is how we live, together, with each other, for each other
10:59Otherwise...
11:05Otherwise there is no life in these caverns
11:08And I don't have to worry about what happens to it
11:12You are throwing us to the wolves
11:17The wolves are here
11:20But you have each other
11:22You have a will to survive
11:25And we have the chosen one
11:28Even Yamon knows enough to fear the name...
11:32Buffy Summers
11:34Boondock Slayer
11:36Will she truly face the blackness?
11:41Don't turn and run back into the light
11:51What's going on?
11:53Was that like a joke?
12:01Why?
12:11No!
12:18Are you okay?
12:23Who the hell are you?
12:33But that's not the point
12:35There's always a name
12:38Lincoln, Hitler, Gandhi
12:42The name can inspire terror, awe
12:46Sometimes great things
12:50But there's millions of people going to make it a name
12:53People facing things they couldn't imagine they would
12:58In the moments that matter
13:00Even our own names are just sounds
13:03People make to tell us apart
13:06What we are, isn't that?
13:13The real questions run deeper
13:17Can I fight?
13:19Did I help?
13:22Did I do for my sisters, my comrades?
13:25Children, slimy slug clan?
13:29There is a chain
13:32Between each and every one of us
13:35And like the man said
13:37You either feel its tug
13:39Or you ignore it
13:43I tried to feel it
13:45I tried to face the darkness like a woman
13:47And I don't need any more than that
13:50You don't have to remember me
13:56You don't even know who I am
13:59But I do
14:30You don't even know who I am
14:33But I do
