00:00I killed him, Giles. I killed him, and then crushed his bones so that he couldn't ever
00:10come back. This is so not happening.
00:13I fear that it is. You see, your crushing the master's skeleton precluded any further
00:18attempt to reanimate him as a being of flesh and bone. But it is possible that a skilled
00:23necromancer could resurrect him in a disembodied state, as a kind of phantom. On the bright
00:29side, however, the master would be in a relatively weakened state in this spectral form, and
00:33the collapse of the church may well have terminated his resurrection at a critical point.
00:37You're completely guessing, aren't you?
00:39Call it a hypothesis. Frankly, what truly baffles me is Spike's involvement in all this.
00:45All of this. The regrouping of the Order, the summoning of Batariani, the possible resurrection
00:50of the master. Logic dictates that this isn't Spike's plan. But if not Spike's, then who's?
00:58And to what dark purpose?
01:00Wait, wait. The master was in a dream I had the other night. It's not a huge surprise.
01:05He's made dream cameos before that didn't mean anything. But maybe there's more to it.
01:11Besides the master, there were these three nasty demons, like the patron saints of Esenam
01:16and self-mutilation or something. They had these weird symbols on their noggins that
01:21looked something like this.
01:25It appears to be a sigil of some kind. I'll add this to the research I'm doing on the tattoos
01:30worn by those two distinctive vampires you fought.
01:33Hey Giles, maybe I should work with this talisman. If I can master the spell that controls it,
01:38I might be able to reverse it.
01:40That isn't quite how the Tadaka talisman works, Willow. The necromantic power was in the necromancer.
01:46The talisman is charged with magical energies that allow the wearer to focus and magnify
01:50his or her mystical abilities. It is a potent tool for witchcraft, but I'm afraid that it can
01:55also prove quite dangerous. Unless properly controlled, the talisman's power can corrupt
02:00the wearer. I'm not entirely convinced that you're ready to handle so powerful a tool.
02:05However, in light of recent events, it may be prudent for you to begin training with it immediately.
02:10With my supervision, of course.
02:13Of course. Gotta keep me from going to the dark side. Or just, you know, turning everyone
02:18into pigs and making the school disappear.
02:21Okay. You guys keep up with the research. I'm gonna go see Angel. If anyone can figure
02:25out why Spike's back in Sunnydale, it'll be him.
02:28Sure. That ought to be constructive. Time well spent. Provided you don't, you know,
02:34succumb to temptation and turn him evil again.
02:38Now, Cordelia, we're all a bit wary of Angel. And with reason. But you well know he's far
02:44more complicated than that.
02:46You know, I could never spend that much time with him. Or anyone else who might suddenly
02:49decide to kill me in my sleep.
02:51And yet you're here with us. Imagine that. Look, while everyone bones up on sigils and
02:56resurrection, I'll head over to the mansion and bone up on Angel.
02:59That so did not come out right.
03:06Did you bring back any crystals?
03:08I was a little busy, but I did bring you a little something.
03:11By the strength of the emanation of Godala and the glory of Hecatate, let that of mine
03:16be that of thine. Let the vitality held within be now released, transferred to thee.
03:22Wow. What a rush. Thanks, Will.
03:26You heard Giles. Be careful with that thing. Practice safe magic.
03:31Not a single worry. I'm all about the caution.
03:34Oz is gonna want his girl in one piece when he gets back.
03:37And now I've got all kinds of exciting images in my head. And I'm blushing.
03:45Once again, I believe it's necessary to widen your knowledge of hand-to-hand combat.
03:50Please read this and begin practicing these new techniques immediately.
03:54Okay, but at this point I think I have a right to know. Just how many of these pages you got?
04:07I cannot imagine what could motivate Spike to aid in the resurrection of the Master.
04:11Perhaps Angel will be able to shed some light on Spike's actions.
04:15Are you sure we need to involve Tall Dark and Brooding?
04:19If anyone can predict what Spike will do, it's Angel.
04:22Is he the good Angel or the bad Angel this week? Sometimes I forget.
04:26Not helpful, Zand. Hitting the books? That's helpful.
04:30Actually, I've developed this bizarre narcolepsy. I read about dusty old magic, just fall right to sleep.
04:36If nobody needs me for a snack run, I was thinking I'd head on over to the alibi room
04:41to see what kind of info I could intimidate or possibly beat out of our favorite snitch, Willy.
04:46Or possibly buy? Cause intimidation's not your strong suit.
04:51Though there are other things you do well.
04:54Hmm. And if I must resort to the buying, that would require cash.
04:58Take Cordelia with you then. But try not to take the scenic route.
05:02Buff, it's a crisis. What do you take me for?
05:05Go. Do not stop Bernoucki.
05:07Going.
05:10That's right. Trot off to the lair of your broody Jekyll and Hyde demon lover in the middle of a crisis.
05:16Talk about priorities.
05:19The last time demons attacked the library, you and Xander were canoodling on Giles' desk
05:23while the rest of us tried to avoid decapitation.
05:25Good lord, could we please stay out of the librarian's office?
05:28And what happened to my antique letter opener? I'd always assumed that one of the Fraxis demons took it, but...
05:33Perhaps I don't want to know.
05:35Just try to make yourself useful, Cordelia.
05:57Angel? Anybody home?
06:00I've got a bad feeling about this.
06:02Buffy, go! You have to get out of here.
06:05Angel? What is it? What's wrong?
06:08Get out while you can. If it takes me, you'll be the only one who can save me.
06:14How about I just save you now?
06:25Whoa. Looks like that screaming blue meanie threw up some kind of magical berry in front of the door.
06:31Time to thrash first, ask questions later.
06:36You think you can take me? Come on, kick my ass.
06:41Hi-yah!
06:58Won't budge. Ain't gonna happen.
07:04Nope. Time to move on.
07:11Huh.
07:32Locked. Wait a sec.
07:34Angel said some of the doors in the mansion had locks that use an archaic security system.
07:39Question is, how do we modern folk unlock them?
07:43So, are you going to kill me? Because this is getting old.
08:04Huh.
08:35Hi-yah!
08:41Hi-yah!
08:49Hi-yah! Would you please shut up?
08:53And listen to my ears.
09:04Hmm.
09:13Suddenly, this...
09:15Hi-yah!
09:18Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
09:21Hi-yah!
09:24Hi-yah!
09:33I feel like a new Slayer.
09:46Huh.
09:48Hmm. Like in my dream.
09:51This has got to be a key.
09:53Now, if I can just find the lock it fits into.
09:56Ooh!
10:06All right. The old and wacky security system.
10:10Of course, now that I've found it, I'm gonna need a key to open it.
10:15Hmm.
10:21Damn. Why do the bizarro antique security systems all require more than one key?
10:29Must be some way to open this.
10:33Must be some way to open this.
10:41Must be some way to open this.
10:46Huh.
10:51You think you can take me?
10:53Come on. Kick my ass.
10:59Hi-yah!
11:01Hi-yah!
11:12Hi-yah!
11:15Hi-yah!
11:31I want you, babe, but not in a good way.
11:35Huh.
11:48Nothing like a brisk walk in a spot of demon slaughter to make a girl's night.
11:52Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
11:55Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
11:57Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
12:00So, are you going to kill me? Because this isn't getting old.
12:04Hi-yah!
12:07Killing you comes with a price.
12:22Huh.
12:53Huh.
13:03Would you please shut up?
13:10Just hold that pose, sweetheart.
13:17Hi-yah!
13:20Hi-yah!
13:22Music to my ears.
13:43A sparkly thingy. To add to my collection of sparkly thingies.
13:49Hi-yah!
14:12Yippee-ki-yay, slayer.
14:19Oh, you kissbait.
14:26Hi-yah!
14:37You can't win, slayer.
14:42Don't!
14:50Hi-yah!
15:11And for tonight, I'm going to write my memoirs.
15:20Tonight must be another way.
15:36Must be some way to open this.
15:45You can't win, slayer.
15:47Not one of you. There's an endless supply of us.
16:03Ain't gonna happen.
16:05Hi-yah!
16:09Hi-yah!
16:15For the vampire who has everything.
16:21You want a piece of me?
16:26Guess you wish you'd stayed home tonight.
16:35You can't win, slayer.
16:37There's only one of you. But there's an endless supply of us.
16:46Lost another thing.
16:53Hi-yah!
17:05Hi-yah!
17:08This is my town.
17:12There's my girl.
17:17Oh, go kiss-
17:18Hi-yah!
17:20Could come in handy.
17:22I wish they could all be California girls.
17:36Hi-yah!
17:38You never should have walked into my sleep.
17:46Don't!
17:48You can't win, slayer.
17:50There's only one of you. But there's an endless supply of us.
17:56Hi-yah!
17:58Hi-yah!
18:01Hi-yah!
18:03Hi-yah!
18:05Hi-yah!
18:07Hi-yah!
18:09Hi-yah!
18:11Hi-yah!
18:13Hi-yah!
18:15Hi-yah!
18:17Hi-yah!
18:19Hi-yah!
18:21Hi-yah!
18:23Hi-yah!
18:25Hi-yah!
18:27Hi-yah!
18:29Hi-yah!
18:31Hi-yah!
18:34Oops. I messed it up again.
18:38Hi-yah!
18:47Cool.
18:51I'm gonna holler you out, slayer.
18:54Hi-yah!
18:58Boring. Should have stayed home.
19:01Hi-yah!
19:03We haven't been introduced. I'm the slayer. Hear history.
19:07Hi-yah!
19:11Hi-yah!
19:13Hi-yah!
19:15Hi-yah!
19:17Let that be a lesson to you. Or, you know, those who pass by your mangled corpse.
19:23Must be some way to open this.
19:35Lost her. Damn.
19:53I need a second.
20:17Angel?
20:19Looking for your lover, slayer?
20:22The vampire with the soul. An abomination.
20:26Sorry to say, he won't be yours for much longer.
20:41Now that is just gross.
20:49I knew there was something different about you.
21:20Hi-yah!
21:22Hi-yah!
21:24Hi-yah!
21:26Hi-yah!
21:28Hi-yah!
21:30Hi-yah!
21:32Hi-yah!
21:34Hi-yah!
21:36Hi-yah!
21:38Hi-yah!
21:40Hi-yah!
21:42Hi-yah!
21:44Hi-yah!
21:46Hi-yah!
21:49Hi-yah!
21:55Angel! God, I was afraid that...
21:57Angel? What's wrong? Are you okay?
22:02No. But I will be, slayer. I will be.
22:07Let go of me!
22:09You ruined me, slayer. Surely one last kiss isn't too much to ask.
22:15What part of let go didn't you understand?
22:20Obnoxious.
22:22You will feel my power. I killed you once before. I'll do it again.
22:28Looks like we're both hard to get rid of. Difference is, I'm still flesh and blood. You're just an echo.
22:37Hold it right there, slayer. Can't afford to have you bolloxing this up.
22:41Sorry, no can do. Gotta fly.
22:54Not that I'm a complainer, but you notice Cosmo has never run an article about the complications in falling in love with a vampire. The evil always gets in the way.
23:03Hello! But, duh!
23:06Thank you for that eloquent and comforting sentiment.
23:10Unfortunately, Buffy, yours is not the only bad news.
23:13While you were gone, my research turned up the origins of the sigil from your rather prophetic nightmare.
23:18It's the mark of three demons known collectively as the Korta Kass, the dreamers.
23:24Individually, these beings possess impressive psychic abilities.
23:28However, by joining forces, they can purportedly distort or mold reality within a certain proximity through mental projection.
23:36I suspect that the master is attempting to locate and reunite the dreamers so that he can exploit their powers for some greater evil purpose.
23:44I've got to find him and make sure he doesn't get all these dreamer guys together.
23:49If you're all done with the usual blathering now, you might want to listen to what Xander has to say.
23:54While Buffy was fighting with her dead boyfriend and his pasty grandfather, we paid a visit to a part of town my precious car should never have to go to again.
24:03Xander, you got something from Willy?
24:05Got some pretty interesting stuff, actually. Of course, I had to promise not to rough him up.
24:10And give him twenty dollars or so.
24:12Forty.
24:13Does anyone want to hear this?
24:15Anyway, apparently there's a ship loaded with black market supernatural knick-knacks arriving in at the docks tonight.
24:21Willy overheard some of the Aurelius vamps say they're expecting a package and are supposed to be there to meet it.
24:26And so we'll be.
24:31Just be careful, Buff.
24:33Always. I'm just worried what happens when I run into Angel. How do I destroy the Master without killing him too?
24:40Maybe that's not the question you need to ask.
24:43The Master and Angel, two of the most feared vampires in history bundled into one lethal package.
24:50What really sucks is that the chicks will probably still dig him. Damn that vampire mystique.
24:56How much time do we have before we go?
24:58I think Cordelia's tire has a slow leak.
25:00No matter how often I pump it up, it's never long before it needs more pumping.
25:04Guess we'd better be going, huh?
25:08Looks like your boyfriend is all...
25:10Again.
25:12Sucks to be you.
25:16I've located a new weapon for your slayer arsenal.
25:19A Reaper Blade.
25:21Forged in 12th century Germany from various holy relics claimed during the Crusades,
25:26it is blessed with an uncanny supernatural sharpness and durability.
25:30Once you've gained experience with the blade, you may also attach the Reaper Wing,
25:34which will allow you to throw the blade with great force and accuracy.
25:37A new toy. And it isn't even my birthday. You're always thinking of me, Giles.
25:42If I get good with the wing, when do I get the Reaper Shoes to complete the ensemble?
25:46Sadly, there are no Reaper Shoes.
25:49Well, still, one can dream.
25:52Let me remind you, Buffy, the dreamers are extremely powerful and have the ability to warp reality.
25:57I get it. If they're all together, they can use their mental powers.
26:01But for the mental powers, I'm assuming that means they all have to have heads.
26:05I'm seeing a solution here.
26:07Do not take this lightly. You'll have to be at the top of your game when you face them.
26:11Sticking to the metaphor, Giles?
26:13Don't worry. In this game, I'm in a league of my own.
26:19Did you bring back any crystals?
26:21Easy, but I did bring you a little something.
26:23By the strength of the emanation of Gadala and the glory of Hecatate, let that of mine be that of thine.
26:30Let the vitality held within be now released, transferred to thee.
26:34Wow. What a rush. Thanks, Will.
26:38Don't worry, Buffy. We'll find a way to get rid of the Master and get the old angel back.
26:43Well, not the old angel so much as the new old angel.
26:47Without the smoking, and the torture, and the homicide.
26:50I had to kill him once before. I don't know if I can take having to do it again.
26:55You'll do what has to be done, Buffy. You always have.
26:58Don't worry. We'll find a way to fix this.
