Angel (1999–2004): Season 1, Episode 19 - Sanctuary - full transcript
The second half of Faith's appearance in LA has her bonding with Angel. She's utterly drained and has no more fight left in her. Angel takes her in and become her redemption "sponser." He promises to help her find a way to forgive herself and start over. But, there are still a lot of problems to overcome. Wes and Cordy aren't too happy that Angel's forgiven Faith. The Watcher's Council goons are still after Faith. Lila, Lindsey and Lee are hiring another assassin. Kate wants to arrest Angel. And, oh yeah, Buffy's on her way to LA looking for payback on Faith. In the end, it's up to Faith to choose a new path and save herself.
FAITH.
COME ON.
IT'S OK.
REST HERE.
YOU REST NOW.
I'LL PUT YOUR STUFF HERE.
I'LL BE CLOSE.
ANGEL.
YEAH?
NOTHING.
BITCH.
NOT YOU, OBVIOUSLY.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM
THAT I ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
[SIGHS] UH...
I BELIEVE IT WAS FAITH
WHO ALLOWED HER ELBOW
TO COLLIDE WITH MY FACE.
NOT YOUR FAULT.
AT LEAST YOU ONLY GOT THE ELBOW.
WELL, IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,
IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE YOU WERE
TORTURED BY A MUCH LARGER WOMAN.
SHE'S STILL HERE, I ASSUME.
HE GAVE HER HIS BED.
WESLEY.
ANGEL.
DIDN'T EXPECT TO
SEE YOU IN TODAY.
HOW YOU FEELING?
AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
GOOD.
GOOD.
DOUGHNUTS?
DEVELOPED A SWEET
FANG, HAVE YOU?
YOU GET JELLY?
WHOLE SELECTION.
WON'T SHE FIND IT DIFFICULT
ENJOYING DELICIOUS
JELLY-FILLED DONUTS
IF SHE IS, ONE ASSUMES,
BOUND AND GAGGED?
WESLEY, WE WENT
THROUGH ALL THIS LAST NIGHT.
YES, YOU WERE RIGHT.
THE POLICE WOULD BE ILL-EQUIPPED
TO HOLD A SLAYER
AGAINST HER WILL.
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CHOSE
NOT TO TURN HER OVER TO THEM.
I DO NOT, HOWEVER,
UNDERSTAND WHY THE WOMAN
WHO BRUTALLY
TORTURED ME LAST NIGHT
THIS MORNING GETS PASTRIES.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE
ANYTHING ELSE DOWNSTAIRS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, WESLEY,
LET HER STARVE?
CERTAINLY NOT.
THERE ARE FAR MORE HUMANE
WAYS TO DEAL WITH A RABID ANIMAL.
- SHE'S NOT AN ANIMAL. SHE'S A PERSON.
- NO?
IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, WE'RE NOT
IN THE BUSINESS OF GIVING UP ON PEOPLE.
DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THE
MORAL HIGH GROUND WITH ME
AFTER WHAT SHE DID.
I BELIEVE IN HELPING PEOPLE.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN
CODDLING MURDERERS.
IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO
THAT YOU WERE THE ONE
MAKING THE CASE FOR
HER REHABILITATION.
IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO I HAD
FULL FEELING IN MY RIGHT ARM!
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE.
THERE IS EVIL IN
THAT GIRL, ANGEL.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE
WANTS OR SAYS SHE WANTS.
YOU SET HER FREE,
SHE'LL KILL AGAIN.
HE'LL COME AROUND.
WESLEY?
SURE.
PEOPLE ALWAYS GET A LITTLE FUNNY
RIGHT AFTER THEY'VE BEEN
SADISTICALLY TORTURED.
WELL, YOU'D KNOW.
I NEED YOU TO SIGN THESE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE
HAVE TO HELP FAITH, DON'T YOU?
TOTALLY. AND HERE.
WE CAN'T JUST ARBITRARILY DECIDE
WHOSE SOUL IS WORTH
SAVING AND WHOSE ISN'T.
OH, I KNOW, AND THIS ONE.
[SIGHS]
THANKS.
THOSE WERE ALL MADE OUT TO YOU.
YEAH!
"PAID VACATION"?
LIKE I'M GONNA STICK AROUND HERE
WHILE PSYCHO CASE IS
ROAMING LOOSE DOWNSTAIRS
WITH 3 TONS OF
MEDIEVAL WEAPONRY?
NOT!
OH, AND I'M THINKING...
SUGAR HIGH... MAYBE
NOT A GREAT IDEA.
SEE IF THE NEIGHBORS
HEARD ANYTHING.
[SIGHS]
KATE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M A DETECTIVE, KENDRICK.
SEE?
I'M DETECTING.
HEARD WE HAVE A FUGITIVE.
YEAH.
FELONY ARREST WARRANT FROM A
PLACE UP NORTH CALLED SUNNYDALE.
I'VE SEEN IT.
SO DO WE THINK SHE'S THE ONE
WHO THREW THE PARTY HERE?
GUY THAT LIVES HERE IDENTIFIES
HER AS THE WOMAN WHO MUGGED HIM.
PUT HIM IN THE HOSPITAL,
STOLE HIS KEYS, HIS WALLET.
WE'RE LIFTING PRINTS NOW.
MY BET IS WE GET A MATCH.
ANYTHING ELSE?
THAT'S IT. YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHY YOU'RE HERE EXAMINING A CRIME SCENE
ON A CASE THAT WASN'T ASSIGNED TO YOU?
IT LOOKED INTERESTING.
RIGHT.
YOU'VE HEARD THE
RUMORS, HAVEN'T YOU?
WHAT RUMORS? YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THIS GIRL SUPPOSEDLY HAS SOME
KIND OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS.
REALLY?
OH, COME ON, KATE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS
YOU'VE GONE ALL SCULLY.
ANY TIME ONE OF THESE WEIRD
CASES CROSSES ANYONE'S DESK,
YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?
SCULLY'S THE SKEPTIC.
HUH?
MULDER'S THE BELIEVER.
SCULLY'S THE SKEPTIC.
SCULLY'S THE CHICK, RIGHT?
YES.
BUT SHE'S NOT THE ONE
THAT WANTS TO BELIEVE.
AND YOU WANNA BELIEVE?
OH, I ALREADY BELIEVE.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
FAITH?
FAITH.
I HAVE DOUGHNUTS.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH,
AND I WANT TO HELP...
BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS
YOU HAVE TO DO. FIRST...
I NEED YOU TO
GIVE ME THAT KNIFE.
YOU SHOULD BE RESTING.
I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR 8 MONTHS.
YOU REST.
WE FOUND HER.
WHERE?
SHE'S WITH HIM.
IS HE DEAD?
WELL, HE IS A VAMPIRE,
SO TECHNICALLY, YES, HE IS DEAD.
BUT NOT BY HER HAND.
- SHE IS HIS HOUSEGUEST.
- WHAT?
THAT'S RIGHT. THE REASON
OUR LITTLE ASSASSIN
HASN'T MADE GOOD ON HER CONTRACT
IS BECAUSE SHE'S
ROOMING WITH THE MARK.
WE HIRED HER TO KILL HIM.
I BELIEVE I COVERED THAT
WITH THE "ASSASSIN" PART.
AND HE ENDS UP INVITING
HER TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
I TOLD YOU HE WOULDN'T BE EASY.
HE CAN'T BE BOUGHT,
AND APPARENTLY
HE CAN'T BE KILLED,
EVEN BY A VAMPIRE SLAYER.
RUMOR HAS IT HE USED
TO ACTUALLY DATE ONE.
WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THIS?
NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM.
NOT YET, ANYWAY.
WHEN WORD GETS BACK
TO THE SENIOR PARTNERS,
THIS WON'T GO WELL.
WE CONSPIRED WITH HER,
PAID HER HALF UP FRONT,
AND NOW SHE MAKES
US LOOK LIKE FOOLS.
SO...
QUESTION IS,
HOW ARE WE GONNA FIX IT?
I SAY WE KILL HER.
Buffy: FAITH, NO!
Buffy: YOU KILLED A MAN.
I DON'T CARE.
FAITH.
YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION
TO LEAVE HERE.
YOU GO OUT THAT DOOR NOW, YOU'LL
BE RUNNING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
MY BET IS, IT'LL BE A
PRETTY SHORT RUN.
DOESN'T MATTER.
YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOES MATTER.
IT MATTERS TO ME.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
WHY ARE YOU BEING NICE TO ME?
JUST...
STOP IT.
YOU GONNA STEP ASIDE,
OR DO WE THROW DOWN?
I MEAN, AM I YOUR PRISONER HERE?
NO, YOU'RE NOT MY PRISONER.
SO I'M FREE?
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...
BUT THE DOOR'S OPEN.
WHERE YOU GONNA GO?
BACK OUT IN THAT DARKNESS?
I ONCE TOLD YOU THAT YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TO GO OUT IN THAT DARKNESS.
REMEMBER?
THAT IT WAS YOUR CHOICE.
WELL, YOU CHOSE.
YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU
COULD JUST TOUCH IT.
THAT YOU'D BE OK.
5-BY-5, RIGHT, FAITH?
BUT IT SWALLOWED YOU WHOLE.
SO TELL ME...
HOW'D YOU LIKE IT?
HELP ME.
YEAH.
HELLO, WESLEY.
SO, LOS ANGELES.
CALIFORNIA.
WELL, IT SEEMED AS
GOOD A PLACE AS ANY
TO RE-EVALUATE MY SITUATION
AFTER BEING ASKED TO RESIGN
MY POSITION WITH THE COUNCIL.
AND THE WEATHER.
I FIND IT...
DRY.
WOULDN'T COUGH UP THE DOSH
FOR THE AIRFARE
HOME, WOULD THEY?
NO, THEY WOULDN'T.
ALL THOSE ALCHEMISTS ON
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
AND THEY STILL
MAKE US FLY COACH.
MISERLY BASTARDS.
A FRUGAL LOT, TO BE SURE,
BUT NOT STUPID,
AND I THINK YOU'LL
FIND WILLING TO ADMIT
WHEN THEY'VE MADE A MISTAKE.
MADE A MISTAKE?
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO COME HOME, WESLEY,
BACK TO ENGLAND WITH US?
HOME?
THE COUNCIL IS WILLING
TO REINSTATE YOU,
RETURN YOU TO YOUR
RIGHTFUL POSITION AS WATCHER.
THAT WAS A NASTY
BUSINESS BACK IN SUNNYDALE,
BUT NOBODY BLAMES YOU.
REALLY?
BECAUSE I RATHER
GOT THE IMPRESSION
THEY DID WHEN THEY SACKED ME.
AS I SAID, A MISTAKE.
ONE THAT CAN NOW BE CORRECTED
WITH YOUR HELP.
WE KNOW WHERE SHE IS,
AND WE KNOW YOU
HAVE ACCESS TO HER.
NO.
I COULDN'T POSSIBLY.
LOYALTY TO A VAMPIRE NOW, IS IT?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE.
A ROGUE SLAYER, WESLEY.
FAR MORE DANGEROUS
THAN ANY SINGLE VAMPIRE.
SURELY YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
ALL TOO WELL.
THEN YOU'LL HELP US.
WHY COME TO ME?
YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
WHY NOT TAKE HER YOURSELVES?
YOU THREE ARE THE BEST,
THE COUNCIL'S ELITE...
SHE CLEANED YOUR
CLOCKS, DIDN'T SHE?
SHE'S BETRAYED HER CALLING,
THE COUNCIL, YOU.
SHE HAS POWER
AND THE WILLINGNESS TO
USE THAT POWER FOR EVIL.
AND SHE MUST BE STOPPED.
SO, HOW DOES THIS WORK?
THERE'S NO REAL
SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU AND
TELL YOU IT'LL BE EASY...
'CAUSE IT WON'T BE.
JUST BECAUSE YOU
DECIDED TO CHANGE
DOESN'T MEAN THE
WORLD'S READY FOR YOU TO.
THE TRUTH IS...
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SUFFER,
NO MATTER HOW MANY
GOOD DEEDS YOU DO
TO TRY TO MAKE UP FOR THE PAST,
YOU MAY NEVER BALANCE
OUT THE COSMIC SCALE.
THE ONLY THING I CAN PROMISE YOU
IS THAT YOU'LL
PROBABLY BE HAUNTED,
AND MAYBE FOR THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE.
SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?
UM...
POWER, LEVEL, TIME...
START.
[MICROWAVE RUNS]
SURE THAT POPCORN'S
GONNA BE ENOUGH FOR YOU?
YEAH.
I CAN LIVE OFF THE STUFF.
TELL CORDELIA I'LL PAY HER BACK.
ACTUALLY, I THINK IT
BELONGED TO WESLEY.
OH, MAYBE WE JUST
DON'T MENTION IT, THEN.
MAYBE WE DO.
ARE YOU SAYIN' I
GOT TO APOLOGIZE?
THINK YOU CAN?
I DUNNO.
HOW DO YOU SAY,
"GEE, REALLY SORRY THAT I
TORTURED YOU NEARLY TO DEATH"?
WELL, FIRST OFF, I THINK
I'D LEAVE OFF THE "GEE,"
AND SECONDLY, I THINK YOU
HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF... ARE YOU?
WHAT?
SORRY?
NOW, WHAT IF I CAN'T SAY IT?
THERE'S SOME THINGS
YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE BACK,
NO MATTER HOW
SORRY YOU ARE, RIGHT?
YEAH, THERE ARE.
I GOT SOME EXPERIENCE
IN THAT AREA.
RIGHT. AND YOU'VE BEEN DOING
THIS FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT
THROUGH THE NEXT 10 MINUTES.
SO MAKE IT THROUGH THE
NEXT 5, THE NEXT MINUTE.
I DON'T THINK I CAN.
YES, YOU CAN.
GOD, IT HURTS. I HATE
THAT IT HURTS LIKE THIS.
OH, WELL, IT'S SUPPOSED TO HURT.
ALL THAT PAIN, ALL THAT
SUFFERING YOU'VE CAUSED,
IS COMING BACK ON YOU.
FEEL IT. DEAL WITH IT.
THEN MAYBE YOU'VE GOT
A SHOT AT BEING FREE.
[CHUCKLING]
I'VE GOTTA BE THE FIRST SLAYER IN
HISTORY TO BE SPONSORED BY A VAMPIRE.
YEAH, WELL, I GOT SOME
EXPERIENCE IN THAT AREA, TOO.
OH, GOD.
B... HOW AM I EVER GONNA
MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH HER?
FAITH, THIS ISN'T ABOUT BUFFY.
ALL MY LIFE, THERE
WAS ONLY ONE PERSON
WHO TRIED TO BE MY FRIEND,
WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY
WHEN I HAD NO RIGHT OR
REASON TO EXPECT HER TO,
AND I SCREWED HER,
NOT TO MENTION HER BOYFRIEND,
ONLY HIM, LITERALLY.
FAITH, YOU AND I
NEVER ACTUALLY...
NO, NOT YOU. THE NEW ONE.
OH, MY GOD.
ANGEL, I'M SO SORRY. I...
NO... THERE!
YOU CAN SAY IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
GOOD.
McDonald: WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR
COMING DOWN HERE ON SUCH A SHORT NOTICE.
WE TRUST WE CAN RELY
ON YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.
Mercer: WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLE
WITH FREELANCERS IN THE PAST.
DO YOU TAKE CREAM?
NO.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE'S THE TARGET.
DON'T LET THE PICTURE FOOL YOU.
SHE'S TOUGHER THAN SHE LOOKS.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
ANYTHING ELABORATE.
NO SLOW OR PAINFUL DEATH.
WELL, SOME PAIN WOULD BE GOOD.
THE POINT IS, IS THAT
WE WANT HER DEAD.
YES, DEAD.
A LOT.
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR,
WE WON'T BE PUTTING ANY
OF THIS DOWN ON PAPER.
THIS IS STRICTLY A
HANDSHAKE DEAL.
NOT THAT IT'S NECESSARY
FOR YOU TO HAVE HANDS
IN ORDER FOR US TO
DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.
THAT WAS SPECIES-IST OF ME.
I APOLOGIZE IF I...
RAWWRRR.
OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.
[SLURPING]
CAREFUL.
THE SEDATIVE CONTAINED
IN THAT SYRINGE
IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BRING
DOWN A MAN TWICE YOUR SIZE...
OR A SLAYER.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
HOW DO YOU THINK?
YOU JAB HER WITH IT!
DON'T YOU?
[SIGH]
JUST A LITTLE
PRESSURE ON THE FLESH.
IN A MOMENT, SHE'LL
FEEL THE EFFECTS.
SO YOU INTEND TO
TAKE HER ALIVE, THEN?
OF COURSE. SHE'LL
BE OUT LONG ENOUGH
FOR US TO SECURE HER FOR
TRANSPORT BACK TO ENGLAND.
THERE, SHE'LL BEGIN
HER REHABILITATION.
DOES THE COUNCIL REALLY
BELIEVE SHE CAN BE REHABILITATED?
WE HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE.
YOU'LL SIGNAL US
AS SOON AS IT'S DONE,
AND WE'LL COME IN AND
TAKE CARE OF THE REST.
THANKS.
I HAVE SOME
CONDITIONS OF MY OWN.
JUST ONE, ACTUALLY.
NO HARM MUST
COME TO THE VAMPIRE.
OH, DON'T BE A PONCE!
THAT'S IT. UNLESS
YOU AGREE TO THAT,
YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP FROM ME.
WE HAVE NO QUARREL
WITH THE VAMPIRE.
UNLESS YOU COUNT THE
FACT THAT HE IS A VAMPIRE.
A SPECIAL CASE. HE'S REFORMED.
HE HAS A SOUL.
IN POINT OF FACT, I'VE
CONFRONTED MORE EVIL,
SLAIN MORE DEMON...
SLAIN MORE DEMONS... IN SHORT, DONE
MORE GOOD WHILE WORKING WITH ANGEL
THAN I EVER DID WHILE I
WAS IN THE COUNCIL'S EMPLOY.
WE'LL MAKE EVERY EFFORT.
NO, NOT "EVERY EFFORT."
NO HARM.
I MUST HAVE YOUR WORD.
DONE.
WHERE'S THE DOUGH?
WHERE'S THAT MONEY?
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?
[CHANGES CHANNEL] Man: LET'S GET TO
THE FINAL ROUND. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Woman: COMING UP NEXT ON
THE CHANNEL 3 NEWS, LOCAL...
[FANFARE PLAYS]
[CHANGES CHANNEL]
EVERYTHING OK IN THERE?
IT WAS TOUCH-AND-GO FOR THOSE
4 MINUTES YOU LEFT ME ALONE,
BUT SOMEHOW I GOT THROUGH IT.
[TV CONTINUES]
Man: LEFT FIELDER DREW WILL
STEP INTO THE BOX BATTING 327...
Newscaster: LOS ANGELES POLICE,
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES,
ARE LOOKING FOR
THIS WOMAN TONIGHT,
A FELONY SUSPECT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA TOWN OF SUNNYDALE.
THE YOUNG WOMAN... [CRASH]
FAITH?
FLED TO LOS ANGELES
IN RECENT DAYS. FAITH!
EYEWITNESSES IDENTIFY
HER... WHAT IS IT?
AS BEING INVOLVED IN
SEVERAL RECENT ASSAULTS.
POLICE WANT YOUR
HELP IN FINDING HER...
FAITH, IT'S OK, ALL RIGHT?
WE KNEW ABOUT THIS. NOTHING'S
CHANGED, ALL RIGHT? NOTHING'S...
ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION REGARDING
THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS SUSPECT
SHOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH
LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT APPROACH HER.
SHE'S VIOLENT AND UNPREDICTABLE.
I'LL TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS.
LISTEN TO ME, FAITH.
YOU'RE SAFE HERE.
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU'RE SAFE.
RRAAH!
NO.
HEY.
HEY, HEY...
SHH...
HEY.
SIT DOWN.
HEY, IT'S... IT'S OK.
IT'S GONNA BE OK, ALL RIGHT?
SHH...
ALL RIGHT.
SHH.
BUFFY.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU... WHAT...
HOW...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SHE... WE WERE ATTACKED.
"WE"?
YOU AND...
FAITH.
YOU AND FAITH.
OH, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
YOU ACTUALLY THINK I CAN
FORM A THOUGHT RIGHT NOW?
GILES HEARD THAT...
THAT SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU.
THAT'S TRUE.
SO YOU DECIDED TO PUNISH
HER WITH A SEVERE CUDDLING.
TO PUNISH HER?
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
BUFFY.
OH, GOD.
YOU DIDN'T THINK I WAS
GONNA FIND YOU, DID YOU?
Angel: BUFFY, LET'S TALK.
OH, I DON'T THINK TALK
IS IN ORDER RIGHT NOW.
SHE NEEDS HELP.
HELP? DO YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA WHAT SHE DID TO ME?
YES.
DO YOU CARE?
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE.
SHE HAS A CHANCE TO.
NO. NO CHANCE. JAIL.
YOU THINK THAT'LL HELP?
BUFFY?
I'M SOR...
IF YOU APOLOGIZE TO ME,
I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH.
GO AHEAD.
THIS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU'RE GONNA STOP ME?
'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO.
DON'T DO THIS. FAITH,
GO UPSTAIRS NOW.
YOU THINK I'M GONNA LET
HER... BUFFY, JUST BACK OFF.
THERE IS NO WAY I AM
LETTING HER OUT OF MY SIGHT.
FAITH, GO!
DON'T YOU MOVE A... UHH!
UNH!
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
FAITH?
GOING SOMEWHERE?
NO.
JUST WANTED TO BE ALONE.
ANGEL DOWNSTAIRS?
YEAH.
RIGHT.
WELL?
STRIKE 2.
THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.
THE FIRST ASSASSIN KILLS
THE SECOND ASSASSIN
SENT TO KILL THE FIRST ASSASSIN
WHO DIDN'T ASSASSINATE ANYONE
UNTIL WE HIRED THE SECOND
ASSASSIN TO ASSASSINATE HER.
ALL RIGHT, THIS
OBVIOUSLY ISN'T WORKING.
YOU THINK?
WE'VE GONE ABOUT THIS ALL WRONG.
MEANING?
WE'RE LAWYERS.
IT'S A MISTAKE FOR US TO
TRY TO WORK OUTSIDE THE LAW.
HE'S BEING IRONIC.
NOT AT ALL. IT'S TIME WE MOVED
THIS FIGHT TO OUR OWN TURF.
I KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
Angel: SHE'S NOT
GONNA RUN, BUFFY.
WELL, WHY WOULD SHE
WHEN SHE HAS HER BRAVE
KNIGHT TO PROTECT HER?
GOT YOU.
DOES SHE CRY?
POUTY LIPS...
HEAVING BOSOM.
I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED HELP.
YOU THINK I WANTED
THIS TO HAPPEN?
YOU HIT ME.
NOT TO GO ALL SCHOOL YARD
ON YOU, BUT YOU HIT ME FIRST.
IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,
YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT
STRONGER THAN I AM.
YOU DID IT FOR HER.
YOU WERE ABOUT 3 SECONDS FROM
MAKING HER RUN. YOU KNOW THAT.
SHE'S AT A CRUCIAL STAGE.
SHE'S PLAYING YOU.
SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU.
THAT WAS JUST... THAT
WAS JUST A CRY FOR HELP.
A CRY FOR HELP IS WHEN YOU
SAY "HELP" IN A LOUD VOICE.
I KNOW FAITH DID SOME
BAD THINGS TO YOU.
YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW.
YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW
WHAT SHE'S GOIN' THROUGH.
BUT OF COURSE, YOU DO?
I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T BE IN YOUR CLUB.
I'VE NEVER MURDERED ANYBODY.
[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]
FAITH, I TOLD YOU...
SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLAN.
GET YOUR COAT.
WESLEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
IN ABOUT 2O MINUTES,
THE COUNCIL'S OPERATIONS
TEAM IS COMING IN HERE.
THEY'LL EXPECT TO FIND
YOU GONE AND HER DRUGGED.
HOW MANY?
3. HELLO, BUFFY.
I'M AFRAID YOU'VE
COME AT A BAD TIME.
I'M FEELING THAT.
WHY'D YOU BRING THEM HERE?
COULDN'T SHAKE THEM. HAD
TO PRETEND I WAS HELPING THEM.
WHY AREN'T YOU? I
KNOW THESE GUYS.
THEY'RE KILLERS. THEY'VE
SURROUNDED THE BUILDING.
I'LL CHECK THE SEWERS.
IF THEY'RE CLEAR,
WE'LL ALL HEAD OUT.
FAITH!
SHE MUST HAVE SLIPPED OUT.
SHE'D HEAD FOR THE ROOF.
THEY MAY HAVE IT COVERED!
WE NEED A PLAN. BUFFY
CAN PROTECT FAITH.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S HER AGENDA.
THE SEWERS ARE
STILL OUR BEST ROUTE.
IF THEY DON'T KNOW
ABOUT OUR ACCESS.
ANGEL, IT WASN'T FOR HER.
I KNOW.
IT'S BECAUSE I TRUST YOU.
WELL, MORE THAN 3 GUN-TOTING
MANIACS AT ANY RATE.
WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO
ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY?
I DESPISE YOU,
YOU AND EVERYTHING
YOU REPRESENT,
AND WHEN I SAY
"REPRESENT" AND "THING,"
I DO MEAN YOUR CLIENTS.
WELL, BE THAT AS IT MAY,
I BELIEVE I HAVE
SOME INFORMATION
THAT WILL BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.
BECAUSE, WHILE IT IS TRUE
WE DO DIFFER ON A
GREAT MANY ISSUES,
WE DO HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON...
AN ENEMY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
OH, OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
AND WE CAN'T BE COMPLETELY CLEAR
BECAUSE THE LAW ISN'T
CLEAR ON THESE MATTERS, IS IT?
I MEAN, TAKE FOR EXAMPLE...
THE CREATURES WHO
MURDERED YOUR FATHER.
THEY COULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT
TO ANY KIND OF TRADITIONAL JUSTICE,
EVEN IF THEY HAD SURVIVED.
AND PERSONALLY...
I FEEL YOU WERE
TOTALLY JUSTIFIED
IN TAKING WHATEVER
EXTRALEGAL MEASURES
THAT YOU FOUND NECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
THEY'RE BEINGS, DETECTIVE.
BEINGS THAT ARE NOT GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS AND STRICTURES
THAT WE, AS HUMANS,
HAVE DEVISED.
THIS MAN IS SUCH A BEING.
HE FEELS HE'S ABOVE THE LAW,
WHICH IS WHY
HE GIVES AID AND COMFORT
TO A KNOWN MURDERER.
THE WOMAN YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR...
SHE'S WITH HIM.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA RUN, FAITH.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU GONNA THROW ME
OFF THE ROOF AGAIN?
ANY REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T?
THERE'S NOTHING I
CAN DO FOR YOU, B.
I CAN'T EVER MAKE IT RIGHT.
SO YOU'RE JUST
GONNA TAKE OFF AGAIN,
LEAVE US TO CLEAN UP YET
ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR MESSES.
IT'D MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOU.
TILL YOU GOT BORED WITH
THE WHOLE GUILT THING,
DECIDED TO COME BACK
AND SHAKE THINGS UP?
THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT.
ANGEL SAID THERE WAS NO WAY
YOU WERE GONNA GIVE ME A CHANCE.
I GAVE YOU EVERY CHANCE!
I TRIED SO HARD TO HELP YOU,
AND YOU SPAT ON ME.
MY LIFE WAS JUST SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH.
ANGEL... RILEY...
ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD
TAKE FROM ME, YOU TOOK.
I'VE LOST BATTLES BEFORE...
BUT NOBODY ELSE HAS
EVER MADE ME A VICTIM.
AND YOU CAN'T STAND THAT.
YOU'RE ALL ABOUT CONTROL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
IT'S LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
NOTHING'S IN CONTROL.
NOTHING MAKES SENSE.
THERE'S JUST PAIN AND HATE,
AND NOTHING YOU DO MEANS
ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T EVEN...
SHUT UP!
JUST TELL ME HOW
TO MAKE IT BETTER.
IT'S COMING FROM THE ROOF.
I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL.
SHUT IT.
VAMPIRE.
I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT
TO THE OTHER BUILDING.
GO.
NOW.
WEATHERBY, LISTEN TO REASON.
REASON?
A WATCHER WORKIN' FOR A VAMPIRE.
IT'S PERVERSION.
I HAVE TO TAKE THIS GUY OUT.
THE GUNNER UP THERE WILL
GO FOR ME, YOU STAY HERE.
OK.
TRY AND KEEP HER STEADY!
- WEATHERBY...
- DO THE SACRED OATHS YOU
SWORE TO UPHOLD AS WATCHER
MEAN NOTHING TO YOU NOW?
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY DO.
I SWORE TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.
GET TO THE ROOF. HELP THEM.
WHAT? NOW!
BASTARD!
UHH!
180.
THAT'S FOR CALLING ME A PONCE.
DOWN! TAKE IT DOWN!
FAITH.
WHERE IS SHE?
YOU GOT ONE SHOT HERE,
ANGEL. WHERE IS SHE?
ARREST HIM.
START WITH AIDING AND
ABETTING A WANTED FELON.
I THINK YOU'RE GONNA LIKE THE
CELL WE HAVE FOR YOU, ANGEL.
IT FACES EAST,
GIVE YOU A GREAT VIEW OF
THE SUNRISE IN ABOUT 4 HOURS.
WHAT? IT'S OK.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS?
WHO ARE YOU?
SHE'S NOBODY.
WAIT. THIS IS MURDER.
BUFFY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT IS NOT ALL RIGHT.
GET HER OUT OF HERE!
YOU ARE NOT TAKIN' THE
FALL FOR HER, ANGEL! OUT!
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
BUFFY.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A CONFESSION.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD
ME WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I DIDN'T...
I DIDN'T THINK IT
WAS YOUR BUSINESS.
NOT MY BUSINESS?
I NEEDED MORE TIME
WITH FAITH. I'M NOT SURE...
YOU NEEDED...
DO YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA WHAT IT WAS LIKE
FOR ME TO SEE YOU WITH HER?
THAT YOU WOULD BEHIND MY BACK...
BUFFY, THIS WASN'T ABOUT YOU.
THIS WAS ABOUT SAVING
SOMEBODY'S SOUL.
THAT'S WHAT I DO HERE,
AND YOU'RE NOT A PART OF IT.
THAT WAS YOUR IDEA, REMEMBER?
WE STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
I CAME HERE BECAUSE
YOU WERE IN DANGER.
I'M IN DANGER EVERY DAY.
YOU CAME BECAUSE OF FAITH.
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR VENGEANCE.
I HAVE A RIGHT TO IT.
NOT IN MY CITY.
I HAVE SOMEONE IN MY LIFE NOW.
THAT I LOVE.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU AND I HAD.
IT'S VERY NEW.
YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES IT NEW?
I TRUST HIM.
I KNOW HIM.
THAT'S GREAT.
IT'S NICE...
YOU MOVED ON.
I CAN'T.
YOU FOUND SOMEONE NEW.
I'M NOT ALLOWED TO, REMEMBER?
I SEE YOU AGAIN, IT
CUTS ME UP INSIDE,
AND THE PERSON I
SHARE THAT WITH IS ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME ANYMORE,
SO DON'T COME DOWN HERE
WITH YOUR GREAT NEW LIFE
AND EXPECT ME TO
DO THINGS YOUR WAY!
GO HOME.
SEE?
FAITH WINS AGAIN.
GO.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
FOR A TACITURN, SHADOWY GUY,
I GOT A BIG MOUTH.
DO YOU WANNA GO AFTER HER?
YES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
MY OPINION COUNTS FOR,
BUT I THINK YOU
DID THE RIGHT THING.
YELLING AT BUFFY?
NO.
THE OTHER THING.
I DIDN'T DO IT.
FAITH DID.
I HOPE SHE'S STRONG
ENOUGH TO MAKE IT.
PEACE IS NOT AN
EASY THING TO FIND.
Angel: SHE HAS A CHANCE.
GRR! ARRGH!
COME ON.
IT'S OK.
REST HERE.
YOU REST NOW.
I'LL PUT YOUR STUFF HERE.
I'LL BE CLOSE.
ANGEL.
YEAH?
NOTHING.
BITCH.
NOT YOU, OBVIOUSLY.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM
THAT I ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
[SIGHS] UH...
I BELIEVE IT WAS FAITH
WHO ALLOWED HER ELBOW
TO COLLIDE WITH MY FACE.
NOT YOUR FAULT.
AT LEAST YOU ONLY GOT THE ELBOW.
WELL, IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,
IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE YOU WERE
TORTURED BY A MUCH LARGER WOMAN.
SHE'S STILL HERE, I ASSUME.
HE GAVE HER HIS BED.
WESLEY.
ANGEL.
DIDN'T EXPECT TO
SEE YOU IN TODAY.
HOW YOU FEELING?
AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED.
GOOD.
GOOD.
DOUGHNUTS?
DEVELOPED A SWEET
FANG, HAVE YOU?
YOU GET JELLY?
WHOLE SELECTION.
WON'T SHE FIND IT DIFFICULT
ENJOYING DELICIOUS
JELLY-FILLED DONUTS
IF SHE IS, ONE ASSUMES,
BOUND AND GAGGED?
WESLEY, WE WENT
THROUGH ALL THIS LAST NIGHT.
YES, YOU WERE RIGHT.
THE POLICE WOULD BE ILL-EQUIPPED
TO HOLD A SLAYER
AGAINST HER WILL.
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CHOSE
NOT TO TURN HER OVER TO THEM.
I DO NOT, HOWEVER,
UNDERSTAND WHY THE WOMAN
WHO BRUTALLY
TORTURED ME LAST NIGHT
THIS MORNING GETS PASTRIES.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE
ANYTHING ELSE DOWNSTAIRS.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, WESLEY,
LET HER STARVE?
CERTAINLY NOT.
THERE ARE FAR MORE HUMANE
WAYS TO DEAL WITH A RABID ANIMAL.
- SHE'S NOT AN ANIMAL. SHE'S A PERSON.
- NO?
IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, WE'RE NOT
IN THE BUSINESS OF GIVING UP ON PEOPLE.
DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THE
MORAL HIGH GROUND WITH ME
AFTER WHAT SHE DID.
I BELIEVE IN HELPING PEOPLE.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN
CODDLING MURDERERS.
IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO
THAT YOU WERE THE ONE
MAKING THE CASE FOR
HER REHABILITATION.
IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO I HAD
FULL FEELING IN MY RIGHT ARM!
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE.
THERE IS EVIL IN
THAT GIRL, ANGEL.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE
WANTS OR SAYS SHE WANTS.
YOU SET HER FREE,
SHE'LL KILL AGAIN.
HE'LL COME AROUND.
WESLEY?
SURE.
PEOPLE ALWAYS GET A LITTLE FUNNY
RIGHT AFTER THEY'VE BEEN
SADISTICALLY TORTURED.
WELL, YOU'D KNOW.
I NEED YOU TO SIGN THESE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE
HAVE TO HELP FAITH, DON'T YOU?
TOTALLY. AND HERE.
WE CAN'T JUST ARBITRARILY DECIDE
WHOSE SOUL IS WORTH
SAVING AND WHOSE ISN'T.
OH, I KNOW, AND THIS ONE.
[SIGHS]
THANKS.
THOSE WERE ALL MADE OUT TO YOU.
YEAH!
"PAID VACATION"?
LIKE I'M GONNA STICK AROUND HERE
WHILE PSYCHO CASE IS
ROAMING LOOSE DOWNSTAIRS
WITH 3 TONS OF
MEDIEVAL WEAPONRY?
NOT!
OH, AND I'M THINKING...
SUGAR HIGH... MAYBE
NOT A GREAT IDEA.
SEE IF THE NEIGHBORS
HEARD ANYTHING.
[SIGHS]
KATE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M A DETECTIVE, KENDRICK.
SEE?
I'M DETECTING.
HEARD WE HAVE A FUGITIVE.
YEAH.
FELONY ARREST WARRANT FROM A
PLACE UP NORTH CALLED SUNNYDALE.
I'VE SEEN IT.
SO DO WE THINK SHE'S THE ONE
WHO THREW THE PARTY HERE?
GUY THAT LIVES HERE IDENTIFIES
HER AS THE WOMAN WHO MUGGED HIM.
PUT HIM IN THE HOSPITAL,
STOLE HIS KEYS, HIS WALLET.
WE'RE LIFTING PRINTS NOW.
MY BET IS WE GET A MATCH.
ANYTHING ELSE?
THAT'S IT. YOU MIND TELLING ME
WHY YOU'RE HERE EXAMINING A CRIME SCENE
ON A CASE THAT WASN'T ASSIGNED TO YOU?
IT LOOKED INTERESTING.
RIGHT.
YOU'VE HEARD THE
RUMORS, HAVEN'T YOU?
WHAT RUMORS? YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THIS GIRL SUPPOSEDLY HAS SOME
KIND OF SUPERNATURAL POWERS.
REALLY?
OH, COME ON, KATE.
EVERYBODY KNOWS
YOU'VE GONE ALL SCULLY.
ANY TIME ONE OF THESE WEIRD
CASES CROSSES ANYONE'S DESK,
YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?
SCULLY'S THE SKEPTIC.
HUH?
MULDER'S THE BELIEVER.
SCULLY'S THE SKEPTIC.
SCULLY'S THE CHICK, RIGHT?
YES.
BUT SHE'S NOT THE ONE
THAT WANTS TO BELIEVE.
AND YOU WANNA BELIEVE?
OH, I ALREADY BELIEVE.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
FAITH?
FAITH.
I HAVE DOUGHNUTS.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH,
AND I WANT TO HELP...
BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS
YOU HAVE TO DO. FIRST...
I NEED YOU TO
GIVE ME THAT KNIFE.
YOU SHOULD BE RESTING.
I'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR 8 MONTHS.
YOU REST.
WE FOUND HER.
WHERE?
SHE'S WITH HIM.
IS HE DEAD?
WELL, HE IS A VAMPIRE,
SO TECHNICALLY, YES, HE IS DEAD.
BUT NOT BY HER HAND.
- SHE IS HIS HOUSEGUEST.
- WHAT?
THAT'S RIGHT. THE REASON
OUR LITTLE ASSASSIN
HASN'T MADE GOOD ON HER CONTRACT
IS BECAUSE SHE'S
ROOMING WITH THE MARK.
WE HIRED HER TO KILL HIM.
I BELIEVE I COVERED THAT
WITH THE "ASSASSIN" PART.
AND HE ENDS UP INVITING
HER TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
I TOLD YOU HE WOULDN'T BE EASY.
HE CAN'T BE BOUGHT,
AND APPARENTLY
HE CAN'T BE KILLED,
EVEN BY A VAMPIRE SLAYER.
RUMOR HAS IT HE USED
TO ACTUALLY DATE ONE.
WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THIS?
NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM.
NOT YET, ANYWAY.
WHEN WORD GETS BACK
TO THE SENIOR PARTNERS,
THIS WON'T GO WELL.
WE CONSPIRED WITH HER,
PAID HER HALF UP FRONT,
AND NOW SHE MAKES
US LOOK LIKE FOOLS.
SO...
QUESTION IS,
HOW ARE WE GONNA FIX IT?
I SAY WE KILL HER.
Buffy: FAITH, NO!
Buffy: YOU KILLED A MAN.
I DON'T CARE.
FAITH.
YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION
TO LEAVE HERE.
YOU GO OUT THAT DOOR NOW, YOU'LL
BE RUNNING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
MY BET IS, IT'LL BE A
PRETTY SHORT RUN.
DOESN'T MATTER.
YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DOES MATTER.
IT MATTERS TO ME.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
WHY ARE YOU BEING NICE TO ME?
JUST...
STOP IT.
YOU GONNA STEP ASIDE,
OR DO WE THROW DOWN?
I MEAN, AM I YOUR PRISONER HERE?
NO, YOU'RE NOT MY PRISONER.
SO I'M FREE?
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT...
BUT THE DOOR'S OPEN.
WHERE YOU GONNA GO?
BACK OUT IN THAT DARKNESS?
I ONCE TOLD YOU THAT YOU DIDN'T
HAVE TO GO OUT IN THAT DARKNESS.
REMEMBER?
THAT IT WAS YOUR CHOICE.
WELL, YOU CHOSE.
YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU
COULD JUST TOUCH IT.
THAT YOU'D BE OK.
5-BY-5, RIGHT, FAITH?
BUT IT SWALLOWED YOU WHOLE.
SO TELL ME...
HOW'D YOU LIKE IT?
HELP ME.
YEAH.
HELLO, WESLEY.
SO, LOS ANGELES.
CALIFORNIA.
WELL, IT SEEMED AS
GOOD A PLACE AS ANY
TO RE-EVALUATE MY SITUATION
AFTER BEING ASKED TO RESIGN
MY POSITION WITH THE COUNCIL.
AND THE WEATHER.
I FIND IT...
DRY.
WOULDN'T COUGH UP THE DOSH
FOR THE AIRFARE
HOME, WOULD THEY?
NO, THEY WOULDN'T.
ALL THOSE ALCHEMISTS ON
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
AND THEY STILL
MAKE US FLY COACH.
MISERLY BASTARDS.
A FRUGAL LOT, TO BE SURE,
BUT NOT STUPID,
AND I THINK YOU'LL
FIND WILLING TO ADMIT
WHEN THEY'VE MADE A MISTAKE.
MADE A MISTAKE?
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO COME HOME, WESLEY,
BACK TO ENGLAND WITH US?
HOME?
THE COUNCIL IS WILLING
TO REINSTATE YOU,
RETURN YOU TO YOUR
RIGHTFUL POSITION AS WATCHER.
THAT WAS A NASTY
BUSINESS BACK IN SUNNYDALE,
BUT NOBODY BLAMES YOU.
REALLY?
BECAUSE I RATHER
GOT THE IMPRESSION
THEY DID WHEN THEY SACKED ME.
AS I SAID, A MISTAKE.
ONE THAT CAN NOW BE CORRECTED
WITH YOUR HELP.
WE KNOW WHERE SHE IS,
AND WE KNOW YOU
HAVE ACCESS TO HER.
NO.
I COULDN'T POSSIBLY.
LOYALTY TO A VAMPIRE NOW, IS IT?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE.
A ROGUE SLAYER, WESLEY.
FAR MORE DANGEROUS
THAN ANY SINGLE VAMPIRE.
SURELY YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
ALL TOO WELL.
THEN YOU'LL HELP US.
WHY COME TO ME?
YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
WHY NOT TAKE HER YOURSELVES?
YOU THREE ARE THE BEST,
THE COUNCIL'S ELITE...
SHE CLEANED YOUR
CLOCKS, DIDN'T SHE?
SHE'S BETRAYED HER CALLING,
THE COUNCIL, YOU.
SHE HAS POWER
AND THE WILLINGNESS TO
USE THAT POWER FOR EVIL.
AND SHE MUST BE STOPPED.
SO, HOW DOES THIS WORK?
THERE'S NO REAL
SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT.
I WON'T LIE TO YOU AND
TELL YOU IT'LL BE EASY...
'CAUSE IT WON'T BE.
JUST BECAUSE YOU
DECIDED TO CHANGE
DOESN'T MEAN THE
WORLD'S READY FOR YOU TO.
THE TRUTH IS...
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SUFFER,
NO MATTER HOW MANY
GOOD DEEDS YOU DO
TO TRY TO MAKE UP FOR THE PAST,
YOU MAY NEVER BALANCE
OUT THE COSMIC SCALE.
THE ONLY THING I CAN PROMISE YOU
IS THAT YOU'LL
PROBABLY BE HAUNTED,
AND MAYBE FOR THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE.
SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?
UM...
POWER, LEVEL, TIME...
START.
[MICROWAVE RUNS]
SURE THAT POPCORN'S
GONNA BE ENOUGH FOR YOU?
YEAH.
I CAN LIVE OFF THE STUFF.
TELL CORDELIA I'LL PAY HER BACK.
ACTUALLY, I THINK IT
BELONGED TO WESLEY.
OH, MAYBE WE JUST
DON'T MENTION IT, THEN.
MAYBE WE DO.
ARE YOU SAYIN' I
GOT TO APOLOGIZE?
THINK YOU CAN?
I DUNNO.
HOW DO YOU SAY,
"GEE, REALLY SORRY THAT I
TORTURED YOU NEARLY TO DEATH"?
WELL, FIRST OFF, I THINK
I'D LEAVE OFF THE "GEE,"
AND SECONDLY, I THINK YOU
HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF... ARE YOU?
WHAT?
SORRY?
NOW, WHAT IF I CAN'T SAY IT?
THERE'S SOME THINGS
YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE BACK,
NO MATTER HOW
SORRY YOU ARE, RIGHT?
YEAH, THERE ARE.
I GOT SOME EXPERIENCE
IN THAT AREA.
RIGHT. AND YOU'VE BEEN DOING
THIS FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT
THROUGH THE NEXT 10 MINUTES.
SO MAKE IT THROUGH THE
NEXT 5, THE NEXT MINUTE.
I DON'T THINK I CAN.
YES, YOU CAN.
GOD, IT HURTS. I HATE
THAT IT HURTS LIKE THIS.
OH, WELL, IT'S SUPPOSED TO HURT.
ALL THAT PAIN, ALL THAT
SUFFERING YOU'VE CAUSED,
IS COMING BACK ON YOU.
FEEL IT. DEAL WITH IT.
THEN MAYBE YOU'VE GOT
A SHOT AT BEING FREE.
[CHUCKLING]
I'VE GOTTA BE THE FIRST SLAYER IN
HISTORY TO BE SPONSORED BY A VAMPIRE.
YEAH, WELL, I GOT SOME
EXPERIENCE IN THAT AREA, TOO.
OH, GOD.
B... HOW AM I EVER GONNA
MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH HER?
FAITH, THIS ISN'T ABOUT BUFFY.
ALL MY LIFE, THERE
WAS ONLY ONE PERSON
WHO TRIED TO BE MY FRIEND,
WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY
WHEN I HAD NO RIGHT OR
REASON TO EXPECT HER TO,
AND I SCREWED HER,
NOT TO MENTION HER BOYFRIEND,
ONLY HIM, LITERALLY.
FAITH, YOU AND I
NEVER ACTUALLY...
NO, NOT YOU. THE NEW ONE.
OH, MY GOD.
ANGEL, I'M SO SORRY. I...
NO... THERE!
YOU CAN SAY IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
GOOD.
McDonald: WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR
COMING DOWN HERE ON SUCH A SHORT NOTICE.
WE TRUST WE CAN RELY
ON YOUR PROFESSIONALISM.
Mercer: WE'VE HAD SOME TROUBLE
WITH FREELANCERS IN THE PAST.
DO YOU TAKE CREAM?
NO.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE'S THE TARGET.
DON'T LET THE PICTURE FOOL YOU.
SHE'S TOUGHER THAN SHE LOOKS.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
ANYTHING ELABORATE.
NO SLOW OR PAINFUL DEATH.
WELL, SOME PAIN WOULD BE GOOD.
THE POINT IS, IS THAT
WE WANT HER DEAD.
YES, DEAD.
A LOT.
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR,
WE WON'T BE PUTTING ANY
OF THIS DOWN ON PAPER.
THIS IS STRICTLY A
HANDSHAKE DEAL.
NOT THAT IT'S NECESSARY
FOR YOU TO HAVE HANDS
IN ORDER FOR US TO
DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.
THAT WAS SPECIES-IST OF ME.
I APOLOGIZE IF I...
RAWWRRR.
OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.
[SLURPING]
CAREFUL.
THE SEDATIVE CONTAINED
IN THAT SYRINGE
IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BRING
DOWN A MAN TWICE YOUR SIZE...
OR A SLAYER.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
HOW DO YOU THINK?
YOU JAB HER WITH IT!
DON'T YOU?
[SIGH]
JUST A LITTLE
PRESSURE ON THE FLESH.
IN A MOMENT, SHE'LL
FEEL THE EFFECTS.
SO YOU INTEND TO
TAKE HER ALIVE, THEN?
OF COURSE. SHE'LL
BE OUT LONG ENOUGH
FOR US TO SECURE HER FOR
TRANSPORT BACK TO ENGLAND.
THERE, SHE'LL BEGIN
HER REHABILITATION.
DOES THE COUNCIL REALLY
BELIEVE SHE CAN BE REHABILITATED?
WE HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE.
YOU'LL SIGNAL US
AS SOON AS IT'S DONE,
AND WE'LL COME IN AND
TAKE CARE OF THE REST.
THANKS.
I HAVE SOME
CONDITIONS OF MY OWN.
JUST ONE, ACTUALLY.
NO HARM MUST
COME TO THE VAMPIRE.
OH, DON'T BE A PONCE!
THAT'S IT. UNLESS
YOU AGREE TO THAT,
YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP FROM ME.
WE HAVE NO QUARREL
WITH THE VAMPIRE.
UNLESS YOU COUNT THE
FACT THAT HE IS A VAMPIRE.
A SPECIAL CASE. HE'S REFORMED.
HE HAS A SOUL.
IN POINT OF FACT, I'VE
CONFRONTED MORE EVIL,
SLAIN MORE DEMON...
SLAIN MORE DEMONS... IN SHORT, DONE
MORE GOOD WHILE WORKING WITH ANGEL
THAN I EVER DID WHILE I
WAS IN THE COUNCIL'S EMPLOY.
WE'LL MAKE EVERY EFFORT.
NO, NOT "EVERY EFFORT."
NO HARM.
I MUST HAVE YOUR WORD.
DONE.
WHERE'S THE DOUGH?
WHERE'S THAT MONEY?
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?
[CHANGES CHANNEL] Man: LET'S GET TO
THE FINAL ROUND. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Woman: COMING UP NEXT ON
THE CHANNEL 3 NEWS, LOCAL...
[FANFARE PLAYS]
[CHANGES CHANNEL]
EVERYTHING OK IN THERE?
IT WAS TOUCH-AND-GO FOR THOSE
4 MINUTES YOU LEFT ME ALONE,
BUT SOMEHOW I GOT THROUGH IT.
[TV CONTINUES]
Man: LEFT FIELDER DREW WILL
STEP INTO THE BOX BATTING 327...
Newscaster: LOS ANGELES POLICE,
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES,
ARE LOOKING FOR
THIS WOMAN TONIGHT,
A FELONY SUSPECT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA TOWN OF SUNNYDALE.
THE YOUNG WOMAN... [CRASH]
FAITH?
FLED TO LOS ANGELES
IN RECENT DAYS. FAITH!
EYEWITNESSES IDENTIFY
HER... WHAT IS IT?
AS BEING INVOLVED IN
SEVERAL RECENT ASSAULTS.
POLICE WANT YOUR
HELP IN FINDING HER...
FAITH, IT'S OK, ALL RIGHT?
WE KNEW ABOUT THIS. NOTHING'S
CHANGED, ALL RIGHT? NOTHING'S...
ANYONE WITH ANY INFORMATION REGARDING
THE WHEREABOUTS OF THIS SUSPECT
SHOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH
LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT APPROACH HER.
SHE'S VIOLENT AND UNPREDICTABLE.
I'LL TAKE A FEW QUESTIONS.
LISTEN TO ME, FAITH.
YOU'RE SAFE HERE.
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU'RE SAFE.
RRAAH!
NO.
HEY.
HEY, HEY...
SHH...
HEY.
SIT DOWN.
HEY, IT'S... IT'S OK.
IT'S GONNA BE OK, ALL RIGHT?
SHH...
ALL RIGHT.
SHH.
BUFFY.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU... WHAT...
HOW...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SHE... WE WERE ATTACKED.
"WE"?
YOU AND...
FAITH.
YOU AND FAITH.
OH, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
YOU ACTUALLY THINK I CAN
FORM A THOUGHT RIGHT NOW?
GILES HEARD THAT...
THAT SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU.
THAT'S TRUE.
SO YOU DECIDED TO PUNISH
HER WITH A SEVERE CUDDLING.
TO PUNISH HER?
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
BUFFY.
OH, GOD.
YOU DIDN'T THINK I WAS
GONNA FIND YOU, DID YOU?
Angel: BUFFY, LET'S TALK.
OH, I DON'T THINK TALK
IS IN ORDER RIGHT NOW.
SHE NEEDS HELP.
HELP? DO YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA WHAT SHE DID TO ME?
YES.
DO YOU CARE?
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE.
SHE HAS A CHANCE TO.
NO. NO CHANCE. JAIL.
YOU THINK THAT'LL HELP?
BUFFY?
I'M SOR...
IF YOU APOLOGIZE TO ME,
I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH.
GO AHEAD.
THIS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU'RE GONNA STOP ME?
'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO.
DON'T DO THIS. FAITH,
GO UPSTAIRS NOW.
YOU THINK I'M GONNA LET
HER... BUFFY, JUST BACK OFF.
THERE IS NO WAY I AM
LETTING HER OUT OF MY SIGHT.
FAITH, GO!
DON'T YOU MOVE A... UHH!
UNH!
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
FAITH?
GOING SOMEWHERE?
NO.
JUST WANTED TO BE ALONE.
ANGEL DOWNSTAIRS?
YEAH.
RIGHT.
WELL?
STRIKE 2.
THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.
THE FIRST ASSASSIN KILLS
THE SECOND ASSASSIN
SENT TO KILL THE FIRST ASSASSIN
WHO DIDN'T ASSASSINATE ANYONE
UNTIL WE HIRED THE SECOND
ASSASSIN TO ASSASSINATE HER.
ALL RIGHT, THIS
OBVIOUSLY ISN'T WORKING.
YOU THINK?
WE'VE GONE ABOUT THIS ALL WRONG.
MEANING?
WE'RE LAWYERS.
IT'S A MISTAKE FOR US TO
TRY TO WORK OUTSIDE THE LAW.
HE'S BEING IRONIC.
NOT AT ALL. IT'S TIME WE MOVED
THIS FIGHT TO OUR OWN TURF.
I KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
Angel: SHE'S NOT
GONNA RUN, BUFFY.
WELL, WHY WOULD SHE
WHEN SHE HAS HER BRAVE
KNIGHT TO PROTECT HER?
GOT YOU.
DOES SHE CRY?
POUTY LIPS...
HEAVING BOSOM.
I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED HELP.
YOU THINK I WANTED
THIS TO HAPPEN?
YOU HIT ME.
NOT TO GO ALL SCHOOL YARD
ON YOU, BUT YOU HIT ME FIRST.
IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,
YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT
STRONGER THAN I AM.
YOU DID IT FOR HER.
YOU WERE ABOUT 3 SECONDS FROM
MAKING HER RUN. YOU KNOW THAT.
SHE'S AT A CRUCIAL STAGE.
SHE'S PLAYING YOU.
SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU.
THAT WAS JUST... THAT
WAS JUST A CRY FOR HELP.
A CRY FOR HELP IS WHEN YOU
SAY "HELP" IN A LOUD VOICE.
I KNOW FAITH DID SOME
BAD THINGS TO YOU.
YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW.
YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW
WHAT SHE'S GOIN' THROUGH.
BUT OF COURSE, YOU DO?
I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T BE IN YOUR CLUB.
I'VE NEVER MURDERED ANYBODY.
[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]
FAITH, I TOLD YOU...
SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLAN.
GET YOUR COAT.
WESLEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
IN ABOUT 2O MINUTES,
THE COUNCIL'S OPERATIONS
TEAM IS COMING IN HERE.
THEY'LL EXPECT TO FIND
YOU GONE AND HER DRUGGED.
HOW MANY?
3. HELLO, BUFFY.
I'M AFRAID YOU'VE
COME AT A BAD TIME.
I'M FEELING THAT.
WHY'D YOU BRING THEM HERE?
COULDN'T SHAKE THEM. HAD
TO PRETEND I WAS HELPING THEM.
WHY AREN'T YOU? I
KNOW THESE GUYS.
THEY'RE KILLERS. THEY'VE
SURROUNDED THE BUILDING.
I'LL CHECK THE SEWERS.
IF THEY'RE CLEAR,
WE'LL ALL HEAD OUT.
FAITH!
SHE MUST HAVE SLIPPED OUT.
SHE'D HEAD FOR THE ROOF.
THEY MAY HAVE IT COVERED!
WE NEED A PLAN. BUFFY
CAN PROTECT FAITH.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S HER AGENDA.
THE SEWERS ARE
STILL OUR BEST ROUTE.
IF THEY DON'T KNOW
ABOUT OUR ACCESS.
ANGEL, IT WASN'T FOR HER.
I KNOW.
IT'S BECAUSE I TRUST YOU.
WELL, MORE THAN 3 GUN-TOTING
MANIACS AT ANY RATE.
WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO
ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY?
I DESPISE YOU,
YOU AND EVERYTHING
YOU REPRESENT,
AND WHEN I SAY
"REPRESENT" AND "THING,"
I DO MEAN YOUR CLIENTS.
WELL, BE THAT AS IT MAY,
I BELIEVE I HAVE
SOME INFORMATION
THAT WILL BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.
BECAUSE, WHILE IT IS TRUE
WE DO DIFFER ON A
GREAT MANY ISSUES,
WE DO HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON...
AN ENEMY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
OH, OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
AND WE CAN'T BE COMPLETELY CLEAR
BECAUSE THE LAW ISN'T
CLEAR ON THESE MATTERS, IS IT?
I MEAN, TAKE FOR EXAMPLE...
THE CREATURES WHO
MURDERED YOUR FATHER.
THEY COULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT
TO ANY KIND OF TRADITIONAL JUSTICE,
EVEN IF THEY HAD SURVIVED.
AND PERSONALLY...
I FEEL YOU WERE
TOTALLY JUSTIFIED
IN TAKING WHATEVER
EXTRALEGAL MEASURES
THAT YOU FOUND NECESSARY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
THEY'RE BEINGS, DETECTIVE.
BEINGS THAT ARE NOT GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS AND STRICTURES
THAT WE, AS HUMANS,
HAVE DEVISED.
THIS MAN IS SUCH A BEING.
HE FEELS HE'S ABOVE THE LAW,
WHICH IS WHY
HE GIVES AID AND COMFORT
TO A KNOWN MURDERER.
THE WOMAN YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR...
SHE'S WITH HIM.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA RUN, FAITH.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU GONNA THROW ME
OFF THE ROOF AGAIN?
ANY REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T?
THERE'S NOTHING I
CAN DO FOR YOU, B.
I CAN'T EVER MAKE IT RIGHT.
SO YOU'RE JUST
GONNA TAKE OFF AGAIN,
LEAVE US TO CLEAN UP YET
ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR MESSES.
IT'D MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOU.
TILL YOU GOT BORED WITH
THE WHOLE GUILT THING,
DECIDED TO COME BACK
AND SHAKE THINGS UP?
THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S NOT.
ANGEL SAID THERE WAS NO WAY
YOU WERE GONNA GIVE ME A CHANCE.
I GAVE YOU EVERY CHANCE!
I TRIED SO HARD TO HELP YOU,
AND YOU SPAT ON ME.
MY LIFE WAS JUST SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH.
ANGEL... RILEY...
ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD
TAKE FROM ME, YOU TOOK.
I'VE LOST BATTLES BEFORE...
BUT NOBODY ELSE HAS
EVER MADE ME A VICTIM.
AND YOU CAN'T STAND THAT.
YOU'RE ALL ABOUT CONTROL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
IT'S LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
NOTHING'S IN CONTROL.
NOTHING MAKES SENSE.
THERE'S JUST PAIN AND HATE,
AND NOTHING YOU DO MEANS
ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T EVEN...
SHUT UP!
JUST TELL ME HOW
TO MAKE IT BETTER.
IT'S COMING FROM THE ROOF.
I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL.
SHUT IT.
VAMPIRE.
I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT
TO THE OTHER BUILDING.
GO.
NOW.
WEATHERBY, LISTEN TO REASON.
REASON?
A WATCHER WORKIN' FOR A VAMPIRE.
IT'S PERVERSION.
I HAVE TO TAKE THIS GUY OUT.
THE GUNNER UP THERE WILL
GO FOR ME, YOU STAY HERE.
OK.
TRY AND KEEP HER STEADY!
- WEATHERBY...
- DO THE SACRED OATHS YOU
SWORE TO UPHOLD AS WATCHER
MEAN NOTHING TO YOU NOW?
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY DO.
I SWORE TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.
GET TO THE ROOF. HELP THEM.
WHAT? NOW!
BASTARD!
UHH!
180.
THAT'S FOR CALLING ME A PONCE.
DOWN! TAKE IT DOWN!
FAITH.
WHERE IS SHE?
YOU GOT ONE SHOT HERE,
ANGEL. WHERE IS SHE?
ARREST HIM.
START WITH AIDING AND
ABETTING A WANTED FELON.
I THINK YOU'RE GONNA LIKE THE
CELL WE HAVE FOR YOU, ANGEL.
IT FACES EAST,
GIVE YOU A GREAT VIEW OF
THE SUNRISE IN ABOUT 4 HOURS.
WHAT? IT'S OK.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS?
WHO ARE YOU?
SHE'S NOBODY.
WAIT. THIS IS MURDER.
BUFFY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT IS NOT ALL RIGHT.
GET HER OUT OF HERE!
YOU ARE NOT TAKIN' THE
FALL FOR HER, ANGEL! OUT!
IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
BUFFY.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A CONFESSION.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD
ME WHAT WAS GOING ON.
I DIDN'T...
I DIDN'T THINK IT
WAS YOUR BUSINESS.
NOT MY BUSINESS?
I NEEDED MORE TIME
WITH FAITH. I'M NOT SURE...
YOU NEEDED...
DO YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA WHAT IT WAS LIKE
FOR ME TO SEE YOU WITH HER?
THAT YOU WOULD BEHIND MY BACK...
BUFFY, THIS WASN'T ABOUT YOU.
THIS WAS ABOUT SAVING
SOMEBODY'S SOUL.
THAT'S WHAT I DO HERE,
AND YOU'RE NOT A PART OF IT.
THAT WAS YOUR IDEA, REMEMBER?
WE STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
I CAME HERE BECAUSE
YOU WERE IN DANGER.
I'M IN DANGER EVERY DAY.
YOU CAME BECAUSE OF FAITH.
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR VENGEANCE.
I HAVE A RIGHT TO IT.
NOT IN MY CITY.
I HAVE SOMEONE IN MY LIFE NOW.
THAT I LOVE.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU AND I HAD.
IT'S VERY NEW.
YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES IT NEW?
I TRUST HIM.
I KNOW HIM.
THAT'S GREAT.
IT'S NICE...
YOU MOVED ON.
I CAN'T.
YOU FOUND SOMEONE NEW.
I'M NOT ALLOWED TO, REMEMBER?
I SEE YOU AGAIN, IT
CUTS ME UP INSIDE,
AND THE PERSON I
SHARE THAT WITH IS ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME ANYMORE,
SO DON'T COME DOWN HERE
WITH YOUR GREAT NEW LIFE
AND EXPECT ME TO
DO THINGS YOUR WAY!
GO HOME.
SEE?
FAITH WINS AGAIN.
GO.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
FOR A TACITURN, SHADOWY GUY,
I GOT A BIG MOUTH.
DO YOU WANNA GO AFTER HER?
YES.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
MY OPINION COUNTS FOR,
BUT I THINK YOU
DID THE RIGHT THING.
YELLING AT BUFFY?
NO.
THE OTHER THING.
I DIDN'T DO IT.
FAITH DID.
I HOPE SHE'S STRONG
ENOUGH TO MAKE IT.
PEACE IS NOT AN
EASY THING TO FIND.
Angel: SHE HAS A CHANCE.
GRR! ARRGH!
