00:00If that's you, I think you're in the wrong line of work.
00:02Yeah, or maybe you like it a little too much.
00:04Faith, no!
00:06You killed a man. I don't care.
00:08She's unstable, Buffy.
00:10Yes, that means you have a job opening.
00:30All right.
00:38Well...
00:42Well...
00:44That was...
00:46very...
00:48artistic.
00:50Yeah.
00:54Wasn't what I expected.
00:56Nah, I'd never actually seen...
01:00Well, we...
01:02From the title, I thought it was about food.
01:06Well, there was food.
01:08Right.
01:10The scene with the...
01:12food.
01:16So...
01:18I feel like getting some hot chocolate.
01:20Or some cold shower.
01:22I'm sorry.
01:24I wanted to take you out somewhere fun.
01:28It's been a long time since I've been to the movies.
01:34They've changed.
01:36A little scary.
01:40And a little not.
01:42Which is also scary.
01:46I'm sorry. I just...
01:48Don't like getting you worked up like that.
01:50We can't actually...
01:52Do any of those things.
01:54You'd lose your soul and...
01:56Besides, I don't even own a kimono.
01:58Buffy, you don't have to worry about me.
02:00I just don't like to rub your nose in it.
02:04Suddenly wondering where that expression comes from.
02:06Look, I don't need to see movies to get worked up.
02:08Just being around you does that just fine.
02:10Doesn't mean that I'm gonna lose control.
02:12Or that I'm gonna be frustrated around you.
02:14It feels nice.
02:16Just to feel.
02:18It doesn't drive you crazy.
02:20When we're close.
02:22Watch this.
02:24See.
02:26Safe.
02:28Safe as houses.
02:30Safe.
02:34Safe.
02:36Safe as houses.
02:38Safe as houses.
02:42Just to feel.
02:44It doesn't drive you crazy.
02:46When we're close.
02:48Watch this.
02:50This house is...
03:02Check out the lust bunnies.
03:12Patrol?
03:15The council has you back on active duty?
03:17Finally. They want us down by Mercer.
03:23Okay.
03:26Good night.
03:31I'll see you soon.
03:33Don't worry, big guy. Just keep me warm for you.
03:47I've got to tell you, B. The willpower thing? Nice job.
03:55Thanks.
03:57What?
03:59The close but no cigar deal with Angel.
04:01I don't know if I could handle, you know, the way you're not handling it.
04:06Faith, when it comes to Angel, do me a favor.
04:09Duck!
04:11Ow!
04:13What are you nuts going around punching people?
04:17People.
04:19So what? I'm a demon that makes it okay?
04:22Hold it! Whoa!
04:24Stake me now, and you never find out what I got for you.
04:27Think about it. Demons seek slayers highly unusual.
04:30Talk fast.
04:31How would you like to get your hands on the Books of Ascension?
04:36Never heard of them.
04:38Books of Ascension.
04:40Very powerful works, and I am not talking about the pros.
04:44They deal with some, uh, dark stuff.
04:45And the mayor, he would hate if somebody got a hold of him before he, uh,
04:51Well, you know.
04:53Don't know. Before he what?
04:55Hey, hey, read him and weep. That's all I got to say.
04:59Tomorrow, I get the books. Meet me here.
05:00And if the price is right, well, I give the books to you.
05:05Not really looking to trade with a demon.
05:07And if this were still a barter economy, that would be a problem.
05:10I want cash, Princess. Five large for the whole set.
05:14So you can buy, I'm guessing here, some skin care products?
05:19Plain ticket. Out of the hell mouth before it's audio slayer loco.
05:25So, five G's? What do you say?
05:29I think Dive Fiend sums it up. Wouldn't you say?
05:33Oh, let him go.
05:34I don't think he falls into the deadly threat to humanity category.
05:39Demon's a demon.
05:41I'd like to know more about these books of ascension.
05:44Anything that would pin the mayor down would be great.
05:46Yeah. It'd be great.
05:47I'd like to know more about these books of ascension.
05:51Anything that would pin the mayor down would be great.
05:56Yeah. It'd be great.
05:58It's brilliant.
05:59It would pin the mayor down would even want to have it here.
06:00Could I imagine K Amy the mayor down would be the best,
06:02the EPA at searpone?
06:04It would look larger than the rule but also to do.
06:06But it would be great.
06:07irgendwelks who escape the mayor down would occur.
06:09As a film director, we could quase work through the walls and noblock.
06:10So here's the only thing that might happen,
06:12It does.
06:14We could haveати erf мат of Atlantis.
06:16Yeah.
06:18It would just be great.
06:21It's never been great.
06:22On the main page and telegram blurred.
06:23It's never been made possible prior to the печals.
06:25In north of this 세계,
07:27You know what I wish?
07:31I wish you'd pull your hair back.
07:33I know, I know, fashion isn't exactly my thing, but gosh darn it, you know, you've got such a nice face.
07:41I can't understand why you hide it.
07:43Yeah, sure. Whatever.
07:49It's just a matter of time before this demon guy's gonna spill.
07:54Then Buffy and the super friends are gonna...
07:56You know, you worry too much for a girl your age. That's unnecessary stress.
08:00Luckily, I've got just the thing.
08:02There you go.
08:13Now, first you load up on calcium, then find this demon, kill the heck out of him, and bring the books to me.
08:23And if Buffy gets to him first?
08:29Oh, well...
08:31Frankly, I don't like to think about that.
08:33I like good, positive, up thoughts.
08:36If you failed me in that way...
08:39Well, you know, replacing Mr. Trick was chore enough.
08:42Oh, come on, don't worry. Drink up.
08:48There's nothing uncool about healthy teeth and bones.
08:52And you say this demon wanted cash.
08:56That's very unusual.
08:58Demons after money.
09:01Whatever happened to the still-beating heart of a virgin?
09:03No one has any standards anymore.
09:05Well, he said the books were worth the price.
09:09What's this ascension mean?
09:12I'm not sure.
09:15No, not really a common term in demonology.
09:18Who? Who?
09:20The Merenstadt text.
09:22I think in the section on genocide, they mention ascension.
09:28Wow, we have a winner.
09:29And more importantly, two losers.
09:33Where did you find that volume?
09:35In the top of your book cabinet, with the stuff you try to keep hidden.
09:41Hidden?
09:42Well, are there any engravings I should know about?
09:45Uh, frolicking nymphs of some kind?
09:48No.
09:49Just magic secrets.
09:51Giles does the thing I'm ready for.
09:53Um, ah, yes.
09:55Yes, here we are.
09:57Yes, there's a reference here to the journal of Desmond Cain,
10:02pastor of a town called Sharpsville.
10:03May 26th, 1723.
10:08Tomorrow is the ascension, God help us all.
10:12It was the last anyone heard.
10:15Of Cain.
10:18Of Sharpsville.
10:20The town more or less disappeared.
10:21So, ascension, possibly not 11.
10:26Ah, I think you should meet with this demon, Puffy.
10:29Yeah?
10:30Anybody got $5,000?
10:31I have something important to ask you.
10:37Important?
10:38Let's start calculating those odds, people.
10:41What are you doing Friday night?
10:43Oh, uh, uh, as always, my sacred duty as a watcher prevents me from...
10:52Why?
10:54I have a paper to write for English, and you're English, so I thought...
11:01What?
11:04Is it so wrong to be getting an insider's perspective?
11:07I study best in a good restaurant, around eight-ish.
11:16Think it over.
11:24And on the day the words flimsy excuse were redefined, we stood in awe and watched.
11:31Right.
11:32Books of ascension, maya, slaughter.
11:37Tell you what, why don't we try to find this demon sooner rather than later?
11:44Perhaps persuade him to lend us the books free of charge.
11:48I think faith might be useful in that persuasion part.
11:52Hmm, I imagine so.
11:54Where is faith, anyway?
11:55Okay.
12:07Hey, Slayer, um, you know, I-I wasn't expecting company.
12:13Give me a minute, and I'll have the place tidied up for you.
12:16You got the books?
12:19Well, it depends.
12:21You got my money?
12:21You're tough in negotiations, and I respect that.
12:36Check them out.
12:37Now, uh, that is quality merchandise.
12:41That's worth five grand easy.
12:43Books of ascension.
12:44Mm-hmm.
12:44Original editions and everything.
12:46Um, great condition.
12:48Okay, it's a-it's a little worn on one spine.
12:51Some slight foxing, but otherwise, perfect.
12:56Now, the five grand, it's, um, you know, negotiable.
13:02I don't like to haggle.
13:04I don't like to haggle.
13:34I don't like to haggle.
13:51Okay.
13:53Faith.
13:55Angel.
13:58I got nowhere else to go.
14:00Look, I hate asking for help, but I'm asking because I'm in trouble, like the real bad kind.
14:14It's okay.
14:16No, it's a couple of county lines over from okay. Believe me.
14:20I believe you.
14:22Look, just talk.
14:26Come on.
14:28Start from the beginning.
14:30And if I skip past the mom-never-loved-me part and get right to it, I'm scaring myself.
14:39I know the feeling.
14:41That's why I came to you.
14:43I don't want to get all 12-steppy, but remember when you told me that killing people would make me feel like some kind of god?
14:53I think I just came down to earth.
14:57It's not human, if that's what you're thinking.
15:00Not that that makes me feel any better, or this guy any less dead.
15:06Faith, you need help.
15:09You can't do this alone.
15:10I know.
15:12For real now, I'm scared.
15:15Scared of what I am, what I'm turning into.
15:19A cold-blooded, straight-up killer.
15:22Like you.
15:23Not like me.
15:24I didn't have a choice.
15:26But you do.
15:28Look, you can stop this.
15:30Believe me, I don't want to end up the way everybody said I would.
15:32I'm dead, or alone, or a loser.
15:36You don't have to.
15:38I don't know.
15:39Maybe it's too late for me.
15:41It's not.
15:44Angel, I'm so scared.
15:48It's all right.
15:49Shh.
15:50It's okay.
15:50It's okay.
15:50It's okay.
16:06Whoa.
16:08Oh, Faith.
16:11Look, I can be here for you, but not like that, all right?
16:17I'm with Buffy.
16:18Buffy, yeah.
16:22I didn't mean it like that.
16:29Maybe I did.
16:31But I wouldn't press that.
16:37You love her, don't you?
16:40I love her.
16:42Good for you.
16:44The two of you.
16:45Lucky.
16:48We're friends.
16:52We're friends.
16:54Then I'm lucky, too.
16:59I better go.
17:03Where?
17:06I need to cool down.
17:08Spend some time alone.
17:09Don't worry about me.
17:12You've been a big help.
17:14Just don't.
17:15Somebody cares.
17:22Hey, I know I shouldn't be asking this, but...
17:26Do you think if things were different, that...
17:29things between you and me would be different, too?
17:31Well, we'll never know.
17:35Right.
17:37How could we?
17:39Take care of yourself.
17:45Lifetime of practice.
17:46It's not like I wasn't trying, okay?
18:00There's no need to convince me.
18:01I'm sure you gave it your level best.
18:03I just don't understand what that boy could be thinking.
18:06Try Buffy Summers.
18:08Like in a big, fat, one-track way.
18:11Hey, come on.
18:13Don't be discouraged.
18:15You're a bright, young, energetic girl
18:17with a whole life ahead of her.
18:19And I won't tolerate brooding.
18:20So you couldn't give him that one moment of true happiness.
18:23I was thinking more along the lines of a long weekend, but okay.
18:27And he spurns your advances.
18:28So be it.
18:30There's more than one way to skin a cat.
18:32And I happen to know that's factually true.
18:34They want to take Angel's soul away.
18:39If you can't do it by giving him happiness, well...
18:43By golly, we'll just have to do it in the most painful way imaginable.
19:02Find anything?
19:04Six-course banquet of nothing with a scoop of sorrow
19:08with a palate cleanser.
19:10I've had no better luck.
19:16There must be something about this ascension somewhere.
19:22Perhaps I should contact the council, maybe run a search.
19:25No, I don't.
19:28It should be I that...
19:30The council isn't entirely aware that I'm letting you work for me.
19:40With me.
19:42I don't think they'd be very happy at the idea the two of us collaborating.
19:45Well, I wasn't about to burst into glorious song about it myself.
19:49I think the most expedient plan would be to find these books of ascension themselves.
19:57Buffy, you and Faith must find this demon.
20:01And soon.
20:06Well, I'll go back to the scene, see if I can track him.
20:10Wait for Faith.
20:11That could be ours.
20:14The girl makes Godot look punctual.
20:16I'll just go myself.
20:19Buffy, this is a job for the both of you.
20:25This demon could be anywhere.
20:27If these books are as important as he says, he has good reason to hide.
20:33Finding him is going to be extremely difficult.
20:36Found your demon.
20:38Fashion tip, Wes?
20:40Mouth looks better closed.
20:43Got the address.
20:44I beat it out of Willie the Snitch personally.
20:49You beat up Willie?
20:51Sure.
20:52Well, actually, let's just say I applied some pressure.
20:56Or, more accurately, that I asked politely.
21:00And then...
21:01Okay, I bribed him.
21:04How much?
21:0528 bucks.
21:06Does the council reimburse for that kind of stuff?
21:09Did you get a receipt?
21:11Damn.
21:12I know this.
21:14It's down by the bus station.
21:16Not the nicest part of town.
21:18Again, see?
21:20No standards.
21:21I mean, any self-respecting demon should be living in a pit of filth or a nice crypt.
21:26I'll remember to mention that.
21:29Mention what?
21:31How are we going, girlfriend?
21:34Uh, actually, I can handle this one solo.
21:37Why should you get to have all the fun?
21:39Share, share.
21:40That's fair, right?
21:41Okay.
21:44Right.
21:47Found our demon.
21:50Oh.
21:52Well, just go look him up.
21:54Is it me, or did it just get really cold in here?
22:12Breathe, careful.
22:13Right.
22:15Missed you last night.
22:25Yeah, I was patrolling.
22:27No shortage of scum you gotta watch in Sunnydale, right?
22:30So I've heard.
22:32Yeah.
22:33Yeah.
22:34Yeah.
22:43Looks like somebody got here first.
22:46Betten they got the books, too.
22:48Some hit.
22:50This wasn't just a hit.
22:55This is somebody's idea of a party.
22:59Maybe the guy put up a fight.
23:04We gotta get going.
23:06Come on, nothing we can do here now.
23:09You coming?
23:10You coming?
23:10Mint?
23:22I didn't think so.
23:28Well, scheduling a man of your talents is quite the chore, I'll tell you.
23:34So, between the chanting and the sacrifice, my golf game is shot.
23:40But, here you are.
23:44You know why I've summoned you.
23:47Can you do it?
23:50Need anything from me?
23:51You're not much of a people person, are you?
23:56You have risked great danger in calling on me.
24:01The deadliest magics are needed to rob this creature of its soul.
24:06Big job, all right.
24:07And so it shall be done.
24:09Well, that's just swell.
24:11Listen, you sure you don't want any?
24:13Because they're low calorie.
24:17Okay.
24:21You seem a little on edge.
24:34Is there anything that's wrong?
24:37It's nothing.
24:40It's nothing.
24:43All right, all right.
24:44Stop with the third degree.
24:48It's faith.
24:49What about her?
24:52I went to Angel's last night.
24:55And Faith was there.
24:57They looked sort of...
25:00intimate.
25:01No way.
25:03I know what you're thinking, and no way.
25:06You're right.
25:08Faith would never do that.
25:10Faith would totally do that.
25:12Faith was built to do that.
25:15She's the do-that girl.
25:16Oh, comfort.
25:18Remember comfort here?
25:19I mean, please.
25:20Does Angel come up to Faith's standards for a guy?
25:24Let's see.
25:25Is he breathing?
25:27Actually, no.
25:29But Buffy, Angel.
25:32There's no way he would ever do that.
25:36Hey, you're the only thing in the world to him.
25:40Sometimes I wonder.
25:44Angel and Faith have a lot in common.
25:48There's so much he doesn't tell me.
25:52But it's so clear.
25:54The way he feels about you.
25:58Buffy, I, too, know the love of a taciturn man,
26:01and you have to look at their actions.
26:06I was.
26:08Well, what did he say?
26:11Say?
26:13You mean when I straightforwardly asked him what was going on?
26:18So you bailed?
26:20I couldn't.
26:21I mean, not that.
26:23Okay, enough.
26:24Stop with the crazy.
26:27Go talk to Angel.
26:29But I just...
26:29No, go.
26:31I give you leave to go.
26:52Faith.
26:54Hey.
26:56Sorry to bust in uninvited.
26:59What do you want?
27:00Look, I'm not so good at apologies.
27:03Mostly because I think the world's out to screw me,
27:06so I'm generally more owed than owing.
27:09But I've been thinking about last night,
27:11and I want you to know I'm really sorry.
27:14It's all right.
27:17No, it's not all right.
27:18Yeah, I was freaked.
27:20I needed somebody.
27:23But you're with Buffy.
27:24I should know better.
27:27Okay.
27:33You don't trust me.
27:35It's not that.
27:37Hey, no problem.
27:38Join the club.
27:39I know what you're going through, all right?
27:49And how hard it can be.
27:51It's important that you have somebody who's been there, okay?
27:56Who understands what you're going through.
27:58I don't want to trust you.
28:03I don't want to trust you.
28:06Chump.
28:06I wanted to do this the old-fashioned way, but hey, you're lost.
28:30Okay, I got some tricks Buffy don't know yet.
28:32You don't have to do this.
28:33I know, but it's fun.
28:36And relax, it'll all be over soon.
28:37I know.
28:38You don't have to do this.
28:39Okay.
28:40I am a male of a ace ship.
29:10Thanks so much.
29:40It's good to have the taste of a Slayer back in my mouth.
29:44It's like cigarettes, you know?
29:46Just when I thought I'd quit.
29:50No.
29:51Really.
29:52Don't get up.
29:57It's good to be back in Sunnydale.
30:00Nice climate.
30:02I need to eat.
30:03No tortured humanity to hold me down.
30:06Don't you know what bothers me?
30:11You don't seem to be getting the big picture here, Faith.
30:15Now, I don't know why you turned to me.
30:18But let me tell you.
30:20I'm just glad you did.
30:26I got my reasons.
30:28Let me guess.
30:29You summoned back to True Angelus because you need a new boy toy.
30:35Sorry.
30:36Doesn't work that way.
30:42You want to be smart.
30:43You listen to me.
30:44Funny thing about vampires, Faith.
30:47We don't establish meaningful dialogue with Slayers.
30:51Not how Buffy tells it.
30:58I should have known you'd like it on top.
31:00Do you want to listen or you want to die?
31:03As long as you're there, I mostly want you to wriggle.
31:07But I'm listening.
31:08Last time you got like this, Buffy kicked your ass all the way back to hell.
31:12Do you want to do better this time?
31:15Still listening.
31:17Good boy.
31:19Now all you gotta do is play nice and call truce.
31:22And I'll hook you up with the real power in this town.
31:25Interested?
31:26Very.
31:28Then get ready to meet the new boss.
31:30Yes.
31:37Our enemy has us at a disadvantage.
31:40We seem consistently to be one step behind him.
31:44Now he has the Books of Ascension.
31:46We must take definitive action.
31:49You have the greatest voice.
31:51Have you ever thought about doing books on tape?
31:55Way to focus, Cece.
31:57Yes.
31:58Let's try to stay on track.
32:01We need everyone working together here.
32:03Where's Angel?
32:04I don't know.
32:06I went to the mansion, but he wasn't there.
32:10And Faith?
32:12She's missing too.
32:14Which means nothing.
32:16Two unconnected events.
32:20What should we do?
32:22Buffy, I think you should try to retrieve the Books of Ascension.
32:26Check out the mayor's office.
32:28But be darn careful.
32:30Do not confront the mayor.
32:31We don't know a thing about him.
32:33I'll go home and stack up on weapons.
32:36Slip into something a little more breaking than Irish.
32:40Right.
32:42Willow, how far did you get with the mayor's files?
32:45Excuse me.
32:47I believe Wesley is running this meeting.
32:50It's quite all right.
32:52Willow?
32:54It's all bad news.
32:56By the time I got through the encryptions, the files were empty.
33:00I guess he saw me coming.
33:03What about the Hall of Records?
33:05Go to the source?
33:07Good idea.
33:08There must be information on the mayor there.
33:10Wesley, why don't you take the group and start looking?
33:14Right.
33:16I'm in Wesley's group.
33:20There is just the one group.
33:22Yes, and I am in it.
33:25Anyone mind if I skip the trip?
33:27I'm gonna cruise town, keep me here to the ground.
33:30And I think five's a crowd.
33:32It really is.
33:36I'll drive.
33:38They liked your plan.
33:45Anyone finds anything, check in with me.
33:50Be careful.
33:51So, can I keep them?
34:01Let's just take things step by step for a moment.
34:04Now then.
34:06Angelus, may I call you Angel?
34:09Well, actually, I'm thinking more along the lines of you calling me Master.
34:14Ah.
34:15You know, Angelus, attitude may get you attention, but courtesy wins respect.
34:21I am the one responsible for your new attitude.
34:26That's why I'm here.
34:31No trouble with the transition? No side effects?
34:34Hmm.
34:36Out of soul, now I'm free.
34:39That's terrific.
34:41Poetic, too.
34:43Not that I read much poetry.
34:45Except for those little ones in the Reader's Digest.
34:47You know, some are quite catchy.
34:49Hey, I don't mean to rush things here, but are you trying to get to some kind of point?
34:55Kids today, rush, rush, rush.
34:58Well, the point, Angel, is you're a very powerful young man.
35:03Good for faith.
35:04And there just may be a future for you here in Sunnydale.
35:07I see you're admiring my letter opener.
35:09Well, actually, I was thinking of stabbing you through the heart with it.
35:14Please do.
35:18Nice shot.
35:19Nice shot.
35:24Nice shot.
35:46You see, I'm what you might call impervious.
35:52You can't be killed or harmed in any way.
35:56And that's just a cornerstone in my plans for this great town of ours.
36:04Can't be killed, but you don't like germs.
36:08Ugh, ugh, awful things, unsanitary.
36:11But my question is, now that faith has brought you back, what are your intentions?
36:17Well, gee, sir, I thought I'd find that slayer that's given you so much trouble.
36:22And torture, maim, and kill her.
36:28Fine.
36:30You know, it's nice to see you're not one of those slacker types running around town today.
36:37Torture Buffy.
36:38Killing her's fine.
36:39Just make it a slow one.
36:40My favorite kind.
36:42Wonderful, wonderful.
36:43We don't want a replacement slayer any time soon.
36:46They can't all turn out like my girl, Faith.
36:51Have fun.
36:52Let's do it.
36:57Uh, try to have her home by 11.
37:02Me too.
37:02She's not a little girl anymore.
37:17I love when you talk, Wesley.
37:20I love when you sing, Wesley.
37:23Can you say the words jailbait, Wesley?
37:25Limey bastard.
37:27Hey, guys.
37:29Man, where you been?
37:30You gotta find Buffy.
37:31She's going to her place to me.
37:32Stop that door.
37:34That guy just bugs me.
37:46Faith.
37:47Angel.
37:48Hi, Joyce.
37:48Nice to see you.
37:49Is Buffy home?
37:50Upstairs.
37:53Please tell me it's not some vampire thing.
37:56Only vampire here is me, Joyce.
37:59Say, you change your hair?
38:04Highlights.
38:07That's nice.
38:20Knock, knock.
38:25Where have you guys been?
38:27We're looking for you.
38:28Good thing we found you before you left.
38:33We got the books.
38:35They're at the mansion.
38:37We'd taken a jail's ourselves, but I think strength in numbers is the way to go.
38:42Come on.
38:42Let me get those for you.
38:47Let me get those for you.
39:00Okay.
39:01Let's get the books someplace safe.
39:03Where are they?
39:07Actually, I'm a slight change in plan, Puff.
39:11Puff.
39:13You just called...
39:15What's the matter with you?
39:18Nothing.
39:21Matter of fact, I haven't felt this good in a long time.
39:27Angel.
39:29You know, I never properly thanked you for sending me to hell.
39:35Never.
39:35Yeah, and I'm just wondering, where do I start?
39:39A card?
39:40Fruit basket?
39:42Evisceration?
39:44No.
39:44Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
39:46Maybe there's still some good deep down inside of me that remembers and loves you.
39:51If only you could reach me.
39:54Then again, we have reality.
39:58I will kill you before I let you touch me.
40:05Faith, we need to get out of here.
40:08Now.
40:09Speak for yourself, V.
40:12Me?
40:13I'd like it here.
40:26One thing I learned about Buffy.
40:29Man, she's so cute when she's sleeping.
40:35Hey, I know a way to make investigating the mayor even more boring.
40:49On second thought, no, I don't.
40:51Hey.
40:53Whoa.
40:55Whoa.
40:57Big hey whoa.
40:59Guys, check this out.
41:00Wow.
41:06Like father, like son.
41:09How about like exact same guy, like exact same guy?
41:14Mayor Wilkins is over 100 years old.
41:18He's not human.
41:20I hate to spoil the mood, but this is so much worse than you think.
41:26Xander, what happened to you?
41:28You know how some people hate to say I told you so?
41:32Not me.
41:34I told you so.
41:35Angel's back in the really bad sense.
41:39And, um, I told you so.
41:42And jealous has turned?
41:45Xander, this is terribly serious.
41:47Are you sure?
41:49She let me think.
41:51Kind of hard to tell.
41:53Last thing I remember is his fist.
41:55Who must contact Giles immediately?
41:56Good thinking.
41:59Let's waste time with a lively debate.
42:01Leave Buffy alone.
42:02See how dead she gets.
42:04Slow down, Xander.
42:05This isn't Wesley's fault.
42:07Actually, it is.
42:10Faith was your responsibility.
42:12Guess who's Angel's new playmate?
42:15Faith and Angel?
42:16Together?
42:18Imagine the possibilities.
42:19Morning, sleepyhead.
42:32You know what I just can't believe?
42:35All of our time together and we never tried chains.
42:37Well, we can do it on the past.
42:43Especially with the future we have ahead.
42:50Bondage looks good on you, B.
42:52The outfit's all wrong, but hey.
42:55You don't know what you're doing.
42:57Really?
42:58Weird.
42:58Because something about all this just feels so right.
43:02Maybe it's one of those unhappy childhood things.
43:05See, when I was a kid, I used to beg my mom for a dog.
43:09Didn't matter what kind.
43:11I just wanted, you know, something to love.
43:15A dog's all I wanted.
43:27Well, that and toys.
43:34But Mom was so busy, you know?
43:37Enjoying the drinking and passing out parts of life
43:40that I never really got what I wanted.
43:42Until now.
43:43Faith, listen to me very closely.
43:48Angel's a killer.
43:49When he's done with me, he'll turn on you.
43:53She's right.
43:54I probably will.
43:58Yeah?
43:59Huh.
44:00Guess we'll just have to keep you around a while, then.
44:05Before we get started,
44:07I just want you to know,
44:09if you're a screamer,
44:11feel free.
44:12Why, Faith?
44:15What's in it for you?
44:17What isn't?
44:18You know, I come to Sunnydale.
44:20I'm a slayer.
44:21I do my job kicking ass better than anyone.
44:24What do I hear about everywhere I go?
44:27Buffy.
44:29So I slay.
44:30I behave.
44:31I do the good little girl routine.
44:32And who does everybody thank?
44:35Buffy.
44:37That's not my fault.
44:39Everyone always asks,
44:41why can't you be more like Buffy?
44:43But did anyone ever ask if you could be more like me?
44:46No, I didn't.
44:47You get the watcher.
44:53You get the mom.
44:54You get the little Scooby gang.
44:55What do I get?
44:56Jack squat.
44:57This was supposed to be my town.
45:00Faith, listen to me.
45:01Why?
45:02So you can impart some special Buffy wisdom?
45:05That it?
45:06Do you think you're better than me?
45:07Do you?
45:08Say it.
45:09You think you're better than me.
45:11I am.
45:17Always have been.
45:19Um, maybe you didn't notice.
45:23Angel's with me.
45:27And how'd you get him, Faith?
45:30Magic.
45:32You cast some sort of spell.
45:35Because in the real world,
45:36Angel would never touch you,
45:39and we both know it.
45:47You had to tie me up to beat me.
45:51There's a word for people like you, Faith.
45:54Looser.
45:58Uh-huh.
45:59You're just trying to make me mad,
46:01so I'll kill you.
46:03I'm too smart for that.
46:05Stick around.
46:09For what?
46:11Your boss's lame ascension?
46:13Like I couldn't stop it?
46:16You can't.
46:19I will.
46:20Keep dreaming.
46:22No one can stop the ascension.
46:23Mayor's got it wired, B.
46:25He built this town for demons to feed on,
46:28and come graduation day,
46:29he's getting paid.
46:30And I'll be sitting at his right hand,
46:34assuming he has hands after the transformation.
46:36I'm not too clear on that part.
46:39And all your little lame-ass friends
46:41are gonna be kibbles and bits.
46:44Think about that when your boyfriend's
46:46cutting into you.
46:49I never knew you had so much rage in you.
46:52What can I say?
46:54I'm the world's best actor.
46:56Second best.
47:11Graduation day.
47:13You think we missed anything?
47:15I think we know everything she knows.
47:19May I say something?
47:21Sike.
47:27You played me.
47:29You played me!
47:30You played me!
47:30What are you gonna do, B?
47:52Kill me?
47:54You become me.
47:56You're not ready for that.
47:58I'm not ready for that.
48:00Not yet.
48:08Are you okay?
48:21The task is finished.
48:23Yes.
48:24Thank you for coming to me,
48:26and for that rather effective light show you put on.
48:30This restores the balance between us, Rupert Giles.
48:34My debt to you is now repaid in full.
48:38Do not call upon me again.
48:40I shall.
48:42Peace with you.
48:45And with you.
48:45His debt to you is repaid.
48:59What did you do?
49:00I introduced him to his wife.
49:03Well, I, for one protest, you've pitted slayer against slayer in a dangerous charade that could have gotten them both killed, without informing me.
49:19I'm telling the council.
49:20I think you should.
49:21I think you should.
49:22We have a rogue slayer on our hands.
49:25I can't think of anything more dangerous.
49:27At least now we know.
49:29And we know a little bit more about the Ascension.
49:36Graduation day.
49:38There's a big, scary, unfun.
49:43At least Angel's not bad, though.
49:46That's good, right?
49:46Yes, I feel so much better knowing that he broke my face in a good way.
49:53It's a good bruise.
49:55He was only acting, Xander.
50:00It was just an act.
50:03Well, you win some, you lose some.
50:06From where I'm sitting, it's batting average of the counts, so you lost some friends.
50:13I wasn't exactly a call of friends.
50:15Well, then, what are you worried about?
50:17Chin up.
50:18You don't see me looking disappointed, do you?
50:20Heck no.
50:21You know why?
50:21Because I know you'll always have me, Faith.
50:25I'm the best and most important friend you'll ever have.
50:28Besides, you know, once the Ascension starts, that in-crowd you're so concerned about,
50:33whew, I'd be lucky if there's enough of them left to fill a pothole.
50:37Promise.
50:43Still unhappy?
50:45Okie-doke.
50:51I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away.
51:00Miniature.
51:01Golf.
51:02How are you doing?
51:29Been better.
51:30Not hard to believe.
51:35You were a real soldier last night, Buffy.
51:38That's me.
51:40One of the troops.
51:43I know how hard it was for you.
51:46I really doubt that.
51:47There's anything I can do to make it better.
51:55Look.
51:56I know you only did what I asked.
51:59And we got what we wanted.
52:02I never wanted it to go that far.
52:08I know that.
52:10It's not even a question of that.
52:12It's just after...
52:13It's just after...
52:21I need a little bit of a break.
52:23I need a little bit of a break.
52:30Please.
52:31You still my girl?
52:43Always.
52:44Always.
52:48I know.
52:50Oh, I hate.
52:59I am the only one.
53:01I am the only one.
53:02It's even a little bit.
53:03I have a little bit of a break.
53:04I am the only one.
53:04I am the only one.
53:06I'm the only one.
