Angel (1999–2004): Season 5, Episode 9 - Harm's Way - full transcript

Harmony is having trouble adjusting to working for Angel. The other employees of Wolfram & Hart ignore her and she's feeling depressed about her life. After a night out with Fred, though, Harm's troubles are about to get a lot more serious.

ANNOUNCER: Welcome to the Los
Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart...

... the oldest and most powerful
law firm in the city.

Founded in 1791 on ground
deconsecrated by the blood...

... of mass murderer Matthias Pavayne...

... Wolfram & Hart has put roots down
in this glamorous city that grow deep...

... and branches that reach into
the heart of major corporations...

... like Yo-Yo-Dine, Whelen-Utani...

... and Newscorp.
That captain of industry?

We own his soul.

That fabulous movie queen?
She owes us her first-born.

But times change,
and Wolfram & Hart...



... is changing right along with them.

Under our new CEO, Angel,
we're focusing less on power...

... and more on using that power
for good.

We have a zero-tolerance policy
for killing...

... and that includes you, vampires.

That better be pig's blood, mister.

Yes, our esteemed president
has made it clear.

This is a new company
for the new millennium...

... and he wants to work with you.

If you don't kill, we won't kill you.

That's right.
No more employee sacrifices.

At Wolfram & Hart,
you're part of a family now.

Work your way up the ladder.

There'll always be
a hand to help you up it.



Every life, and unlife...

... is as important to our management
as their own.

So go ahead, relax and enjoy
your new Wolfram & Hart family.

Because at our firm, everyone matters.

You matter.
Buddy, you're going places.

[ALARM SOUNDS, RADIO PLAYS]

[ALARM STOPS]

Morning, Mrs. Jacobi.

[DOG GROWLS AND BARKS]

I should go.

- Hey!
HARMONY: Sorry.

At 2:00 a.m., my boss calls me...

...wants me to search her car for,
get this, a stray Vicodin.

- Shut up.
- Hello, fellow grunts.

Hey. I mean, making me drop off
her stool sample was one thing...

...but this?
I'm so asking for a raise.

Yeah. You know, I was thinking
I've been due for a raise, because...

Did I tell you? That cute new shaman's
in my department now.

Right. Nice chatting with you too.

Bye-bye.

DANNY: Hey.
- Morning.

You just can't...
There are rules.

Oh, I know. It's so unfair.

Just because my boss
is your boss's boss...

...his needs coming first and all.

[MICROWAVE BEEPS]

See you.

So you've got
the department heads at 11.

Your 1:00
with Mistress Shriva from Human...

Sorry, Non-human Resources
got moved to 2.

Swung by the cleaners. Zippo luck
getting out the Frophla slime...

...and I took care of the catering
for the big feuding-demon-clan confab.

Unless you have any requests.

[SPEAKS IN FOREGIN LANGUAGE]

Okay... Could you spell that?

VOICE [ON TAPE]: Greetings,
Your Eminence. Let me take your staff.

Clicks are all wrong.
Figure out the catering for tomorrow?

- Hello! I just...
GUNN: Morning.

Ready to do this thing?

So about the catering,
I really went above and beyond...

...because I know this is very...

You're welcome.

- You're up today.
- Oh, come on, Rudy.

I've been off the human blood
for months.

Company policy.
Give me the finger.

[PHONE RINGS]

Good morning. Wolfram and... Ow!

Sorry, wrong extension.

You need 529 for curses.
Foiled again, huh?

[PHONE CLICKS]

- Hello?
- You're clean.

Have a good one.

- Eli. Hi.
- Hey, you.

I just got called up
for a meeting with your boss man.

- Really? I didn't see...
- Not to count my hatchlings...

...but I think they're starting
to recognize my work in accounting.

Hey, good for you.

Eli. Come on in.

Wish me luck, kiddo.

Angel, you forgot your...

Get that cleaned up, would you?

Harm's Way

I just...
I don't get it.

- Why'd you kill Eli?
- Didn't like...

...how he spent his off-hours.

Well, that's not right.
What Eli did on his own time...

- Is dismember virgins.
- Oh.

Well, a person's religious beliefs
is no cause for...

- He did it for his own amusement.
- Oh.

Well, okay.

Still, couldn't you have given him
a stern warning first?

Called a zero-tolerance policy,
not a maybe-this-once policy.

Nobody in this office gets away
with murder. Not anymore.

Let me guess.
Position just opened up in accounting?

Hardest part of the job,
terminating an employee.

Once again keeping
corporate America safe from evil.

- Spike.
- I was wondering when you'd turn up.

Where have you been, it's been days?

Out enjoying freedom
from my ghostly confines, love.

There haven't been any side effects
since you recorporealized, have there?

Bit of a hangover, but that's to be
expected after all the drinking.

Just thought I'd swing by
and say my final farewells.

- You're leaving?
- You catch on quick, don't you?

Yeah, I thought I'd push off...

...seeing as I got
somebody waiting for me.

Angel, I'm not sure that's wise.
The Shanshu prophecy is still unresolved.

That's your problem, mate.

You're welcome to that heroic destiny,
whether you deserve it or not.

Me? I got better things to do than wait
around for the four bloody horsemen.

- Spike...
- Let him go.

Yeah, here's the thing.

I need some walking-around money.
How about a few hundred?

- How about, no?
- Typical, you cheap sod.

Right, then. Settle for some wheels.

If it's gonna get you out of here
faster, fine. Just not the Viper.

Viper it is, then.

- Any message for Buffy?
ANGEL: Tell her you're a moron.

Well, bon voyage, Spikester.
Don't be a stranger.

Fred.

I want you to know,
all that work you put in trying to...

...you know, cure me of the ghosties...

I didn't do anything.

Oh, you did. You believed in...

You tried.

I won't forget that.

You're welcome.

What?

No goodbye for me just because
I tried to rip your throat out...

...while we were having sex?

Keep it simple, Harm. It suits you.

This is war. Two demon clans:
the Vinjis and the Sahrvin.

They've battled for five generations.

Way back when,
clans got along okay.

Shared miles of desert, traded livestock,
and even partied together once in a while.

Then a Vinji used the wrong fork
at a Sahrvin bonding ceremony.

Sahrvins took offense, they've been
slaughtering each other ever since.

This whole thing started
over a fork faux pas?

They're finicky about manners.

But the clans have agreed
to negotiate a truce. Here.

- Tomorrow.
- Why now?

Demon-rights activist named
Tobias Dupree got involved.

He's liaison to both clans.

Only guy in the world they all trust,
and he called us for help.

Etiquette aside, the Vinji and Sahrvin
are notoriously vicious.

Why not let them wipe each other out?

We manage to push through
a peace plan...

...the whole demon world
will know we got game.

That makes sense, in a kind of gray,
Machiavellian kind of way.

Both clans are sensitive
to the smallest slight.

We don't dot an I or cross a T, the
whole thing could explode in our faces.

This is a complete list
of manners and customs.

We should probably all memorize this.
Apparently gazing at a Vinji's ankles...

...can lead to eye-gouging.

Hey, come on, Dandido.
Come on.

He gets a wee shy around the big boss.
All the way in.

I finished the seating chart.

All right. This kid was up all night
jigsawing who's going where tomorrow.

He's a real up-and-comer, this one.

FRED: My lab managed that upgrade
to the weapons scanner...

...as requested.
- Foolproof?

I'd say yes, but some fool would just
sneak something past us...

...but it's still state of the art.

Since none of the clan reps
speak English, I'll do the talking.

- You?
GUNN: Yeah.

Along with law,
and the Gilbert and Sullivan...

...I got a few demon languages
in the brain upload.

So aside from forks, ankles and us
not knowing what they're saying...

...any other minefields?

Their etiquette issues,
plus a healthy dose of superstition.

You don't know the half of it.

I've been doing a bunch of research
on these guys. Their customs and stuff.

Did you know that they think
poodles are wicked bad luck?

Harmony, I'm glad you're here.

- We'll be needing lunch.
GUNN: Good idea.

- We should order before the crush.
FRED: Not Thai again. Something lighter.

BRITTANY:
Burkle's always giving Mr. Gunn the eye.

Heard they used to be a thing.

I don't know. Alice said she
and that Knox guy are pretty friendly.

Maybe she's sleeping with both of them.
That's what I'd do.

Don't forget about Wesley.

I get the vibe that he's, like,
totally crushing over Fred.

Mr. Wyndam-Pryce?

Everyone knows he's...
Muffins!

They're from Lorne.
Actually from Shaq...

...but Lorne's declared his office
a carb-free zone.

- He's totally grooming you.
DANNY: You think?

He does call me Dan the Man.

- Angel grooms me too.
- Explains the haircut.

I'm his right arm. He's taking me places.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

We're so connected.

- Yeah, boss?
ANGEL: Harmony, get the hell down here.

- Now.
- Uh, sure.

No. No trouble at all.
That's what I'm here for.

Bye.

Harmony.

You wanna explain this?

Okay, this is totally my fault.

I specifically told the caterers
the delivery was for tomorrow...

...but I should've called to confirm.

You know caterers.
Not the best listeners.

[CAMEL GROANS]

Harmony got us a camel.

Like I said, I did a lot of research.

Camel meat's a delicacy.

So I thought it would be a great way
to kick off the summit...

...because of the clans being so uptight.
Like comfort food.

- Comfort food?
- Uh-huh. As host, you get the honor...

...of slicing off its hump and sticking
a hot poker through its heart.

And then the demon leaders rip apart
its carcass with their bare hands.

Are you...?

I don't even know how...

Maybe the camel
was the wrong way to go.

You're supposed to answer phones, make
appointments and anticipate my needs...

...which does not include
a petting zoo in my lobby.

Okay, but the caterer said no returns.

[CAMEL GRUNTS]

Get it out of here.

Maybe you could go
with a nice cheese platter.

Or chips and dip.
Chips and dip would be fine.

I did everything right.
This is what they eat.

Angel's just feeling a little off...

...and he's not in the mood to,
you know, butcher a camel.

- No, he hates me.
- No.

He'll get over it.

Everybody hates me.

I don't hate you.

I mean, it's just...
I don't know you that well, and...

What are you doing after work?

And the worst part is, I can't even quit.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

FRED:
I'm sure that's not...

Really?

I tried being out on my own,
all independent and evil.

I'm just no good at it.

But, I mean, isn't that a good thing?

Not like everything's so great now.

You heard Angel. I'm useless.

Harmony, it was one mistake...

...and you can't take everything
Angel says so personally.

He has a lot on his mind.

I just wish I were more like you.

Except for the part
about being all into science...

...and not having a lot up front.

I mean, you have
two hot guys after you.

- I do?
- All the girls think it's Knox and Gunn.

Of course, I know it's Knox
and Wesley, not that they'd listen.

It is Knox and Wes, right?

Yeah. I mean, no. I don't know.

We all work together,
and there's a lot of baggage and...

Why am I telling you this?

Because we're totally bonding.
We're like gal pals. This is awesome.

You can teach me about life,
and I can teach you how to dress better.

Oh.

They are both kind of hot, aren't they?

Knox and Wes.

Wait, why is everyone at the office
so interested in who I might be dating?

Because you're at the top.

People wanna know
what's up with the bigwigs.

- You'd think they'd ask me, but...
- Why don't they?

Harmony, do you...?

Do you not have
many friends at work?

I just... I don't get it.

I used to be way popular in high school.

Just since I got vamped at my graduation,
I've had trouble connecting with people.

Well, maybe you should, you know,
put yourself out there more.

I mean, lots of Wolfram & Hart
people hang out here.

You should mingle.

They're all straight.

Non-vamps.

I gravitate more
towards the undead variety.

Well, there's your problem.
The undead, they're not exactly givers.

I'm sure there are tons of straight guys
who would love to get to know you.

Well, there is one at the bar.

Don't!

I think he's checking me out.

You should go talk to him.

No, I couldn't.

I'm hanging with my gal pal.

I would never do that to you.

- Don't be silly. I'd be fine.
- Okay. Bye.

Oh, what do I say?

Just say hi and introduce yourself.
I bet he takes it from there.

Right...

...but what if he doesn't? Take it?

Well, questions are always good.

Ask him where he's from
and what he does for a living.

- Cover the boring stuff.
- Only maybe act like it's not.

- Boring.
- I can do that.

Well, don't watch me.

I'll just...

I'll just go.

Hi.

- I'm Harmony.
- Hi, Harmony. Nice to meet...

Where are you from?

- The Bay Area originally, but I'm...
- Uh-huh. Interesting.

What do you do for a living?

Why don't I get you a drink?

You look thirsty.

[ALARM SOUNDS, RADIO PLAYS]

[ALARM STOPS]

Uh...

Tim?

Trevor?

George?

Apparently you and I, you know...

...and I'm sure
I rocked your world and all...

...but I gotta go to work, so...

Hello.

Oops.

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

Hi, Mrs. Jacobi.

[DOG GROWLS]

Oh, crapola.

Have a nice day, Mrs. Jacobi.

[DOG GROWLING]

Okay, just act normal.

Hi. How's it hanging?
Love the pocket square.

ANGEL: Blood.
- Where?

That's what I'd like to know.
Where is my blood?

Harmony, I got the demon
summit today, and you're late, and...

What are you doing?

Desk crunches. Get fit while you sit.

You should see my abs. You wanna?

Mug-o-blood, coming right up, boss.

- Harmony.
- Huh?

I can't have anything go wrong today.

What could go wrong?

Okay, I remember the talking.

"Hi, I'm Harmony."
"You look thirsty."

"Well, why don't I drink a couple
quarts of your blood, then, Tom."

Terry?

Drinking. That's my problem.
Too much drinking.

I don't even remember taking him home.

Damn lemon drops. I never should've...

Fred.

She made me talk to him.
She's responsible for...

- You did it again.
- It's not my fault!

- What?
- Uh...

Well, you can't blame me because Angel
gets grumpy when he's hungry.

Stress eating.

Angel's all... about the summit.

And, you know, I'm his right arm.
So the stress and the...

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hi, boss.

There was a line at the microwave?

I'm coming.

That's right, chips and dip.

I know. I told him. He just...

Wildebeest?

Really?

No, we better just stick
with the chip-dip thing.

Thanks.

Okay.

So peachy, just get
through the day, and I'm home...

[PHONE RINGS]

Angel's office.

One moment, please.

ANGEL: Yeah?
- There's a Detective Griffin for you.

Put him through.

It's Angel.

GRIFFIN:
Yeah, this is Dave Griffin, L.A.P.D.

Thought you'd wanna know, found
a body this morning. Vampire attack.

- It looks like he...
ANGEL: Hold on.

Harmony.

I got it.

Oh. Right. Sorry.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.

You know what this is about?

Perhaps one of the Vinjis
set down a teacup improperly.

Worse. Just got off the phone
with L.A.P.D. They found a body.

Where? Did he say where?

City dump, in a laundry bag.

And the police called you because...?

Apparently, we own them.

- Right. Makes sense.
- Of course.

That, and they found my card
on the victim.

It's the liaison
between the feuding clans.

- Toby Dupree?
- Toby! That was his...

...name. Really?

You don't hear
unusual names like that anymore.

We'll need some
serious damage control.

You think? Demon-rights activist
munched by a vamp on our watch?

- Told me he was an astronaut.
- No telling how the clans will take this.

Superstitious as they are,
they may see it as an omen or...

So this cop, he doesn't have
any actual real info, right?

It is possible that someone's trying
to send a message, derail the summit.

Ooh, yeah. That must be it.

The derailing thing, that makes sense.

Right?

[SPEAKING VINJI LANGUAGE]

The Vinji clan is deeply concerned
about this turn of events.

- Perhaps if you say something.
- No. I'm not ready.

Tell him the summit can proceed.

They shouldn't, you know,
start skinning each other.

[SPEAKING IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

DEMON [IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

- They want vengeance.
ANGEL: Tell them we're on it.

[IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

DEMON [IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

GUNN [IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

- What about you "not saying anything"?
- I got caught up. A mistake.

Forgive and forget, I say.
It's the golden rule.

These guys won't forgive or forget
till we figure out...

Who killed Dupree. I know.

Fred will be able to tell us more soon.
Dupree's body's in the lab by now.

- Lab? Our lab?
GUNN: That was fast.

ANGEL: Shouldn't take long to track
down the vampire who did this...

...set things right.

FRED: Postmortem battering suggests
prior relationship with the victim.

Consulting coroner puts time of death
at approximately...

...1:30 a.m., which...

- Harmony.
- Hi.

I just thought I'd pop in to see...

- Angel sent you, didn't he?
- Angel?

He's all antsy about the summit,
so he sent you to rush me...

...only he doesn't wanna seem
like he sent you...

...so he told you to act all...
Like that.

Oh, yeah. Totally.
You know our Angel.

So, what do you know?
Do you know who did it?

The body's only been here 20 minutes.

Uh-huh. Don't you think it's possible that
whoever did it could have blacked out...

...and doesn't even remember doing it,
so it's totally not their fault?

I guess.

Hey, you know,
last night was actually...

I mean, I really had...

...kind of a nice time.

Huh? Oh, yeah. Me too.

Bite marks are 17 millimeters apart...

...6 millimeters deep,
on the right side of the neck.

Well, that doesn't sound
like much to go on.

The size and depth of the wound
indicate a female vampire.

Or gay.

Um, it doesn't really work like that.

If you wanna hang out
again sometime...

...we could grab some wine,
jam to the Dixie Chicks.

Gee, you know,
my schedule's kind of packed right...

FRED: Hey.
- What?

Something you wanna tell me?

Tell what?

The guy at the bar.
I wanna hear all about it.

Oh.

That. Uh...

Well...

Loser. Big.

Told me he was an astronaut.

Like anyone would believe that.

I know. Well, I'd better...

Okay, that's it. I gotta get out of here.
Leave the country.

Maybe Mexico. Yeah, I like Mexico.

Or Cancun. I hear that's...

Anyway, I'll start over.
Change my name.

Harmonita. That's kind of prett...

Bitten on the right.

He was bitten on the right!

Oh, my God, I didn't do it!

Ouch!

You sound just like my 6-year-old.
He's always saying that...

LORNE:
Well, I'm talking first-degree murder.

Yeah, mine, if these demons find out
we're short four gift bags.

Hey, Lorraine, you're a lifesaver.
Harmonica, Harmonica.

Hey, hey, you seen Danny around?
I need him to...

Oh, no.

So just curious.

You know those random blood tests?
Where do they go?

The results get automatically
transmitted down to the lab.

HARMONY: Uh-huh.
- And then they...

[MAN GROANING]

- Did you just hear that?
- Hear what?

[THUDS]

- Harmony.
- I can explain.

You don't have to explain anything. I
just have to get something out of my...

I left my autoclave on.

- It's not what you think.
- Okay, so your test came back positive.

You slipped, had some human blood.
Maybe it was consensual or...

There was nothing. I mean...

...I think there was something.

I don't remember exactly.

I think somebody must've drugged me.

I was at the bar, and then I woke up,
and he was there.

- Wait. He?
- He. Him.

The guy you made me talk to.

- Oh, God. He's "him"?
- I didn't kill him. I'm innocent.

See, because you said
he was bitten on the right.

I'm a right-biter.

Look. See? Right-biter.

Harmony, stop!

I lean right,
which means I bite you on your...

Left. I get it. Left.

Right. I mean, correct.

Since he was bitten on his right,
he must have been bitten by a left-biter.

Ergo, not me.

Okay, that's a very
convincing argument, Harmony.

Except your blood test
came back positive.

Yeah, I know, but that's...

It couldn't.

It's a mistake,
or I drank it accidentally, or...

[GASPS]

Somebody spiked my Thermos.

- Why would anyone...?
- I don't know, because...

The summit.
Someone wants to ruin it or...

What are you doing?

I want to believe you, Harmony. I do.

I think if we just call
and explain what happened to Angel...

No. Zero-tolerance policy, remember?

- He can help.
- He's not a helper. He's a chopper.

He'll cut my head off before I get...

- He won't.
- I'm not a killer!

Well, I am, but I've been clean
for eight months.

Except for today, but that is different,
because it's not me.

Angel will listen, I promise.

He'll want to hear what you
have to say, and he'll understand.

Don't worry,
everything will be fine. Okay?

[PHONE DIALING]

[THUDS]

[MUFFLED CRIES]

I'm totally sorry I have to do this...

...and you guys are being
super-understanding.

It's just till I clear my name.
I so owe you guys dinner.

Okay, okay, okay.
So I'm being set up.

Somebody put blood in my blood.

Human blood in my Thermos.

So fingerprints. Right.
Gotta get my Thermos.

[SPEAKING IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

- What is she saying?
- They wanna walk.

[IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

- I told her...
- Yeah, what do they want?

[IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

That ain't good.

- What?
GUNN: Seems it's bad luck to start...

...before we cough up
a little eye-for-an-eye.

They'll accept a substitute
for the actual bad guy.

They want a blood sacrifice.
Harmony!

A person makes one little mistake...

Find Fred. I wanna know
what she got off the body.

Fred? Right. I'm on it.

Aha!

- The smoking Thermos.
- What?

- Trying to get rid of the evidence?
- What evidence?

I was just getting Lorne's protein snack.

Ha! You expect me to believe that?

- Go on. Admit it.
- Admit what?

That you stole my Thermos
and filled it with human blood!

Human... What?

It is so totally obvious!

You hate me! You've probably been
watching me sweat all day, laughing!

Hate you? I don't care about you
enough to hate you...

- Hey, leave him alone!
- Mind your own business!

You murdered that guy
and put him in my bed!

Murdered? Oh, God!

HARMONY:
You did this to me...

...and now you're gonna confess!
- I'm sorry. I didn't...

What guy? Please, I swear.

Don't kill me.

What the...?

What'd you do that for?

- To make it look like you did.
- Why would you want to...?

Hey, it was you!

Who are you?

You don't remember?

Think steno pool.

I sat next to you.

- Sambuca.
- Tamika.

Right!

Well, you were only there for,
what was it, five weeks?

- More like four and a half.
- I have been there for five years.

I type 80 words a minute,
I have a pleasant phone voice...

...but you sit at the best desk
in the building.

You're the one in the in-crowd.

- You think I'm in the in-crowd?
- I see you in all the important meetings.

You're on the fast track.

Well, that's all about to change.

I have witnesses
who saw you attack Danny...

...and when Mr. Angel hears
I saved him...

...your job will be mine
by the end of the day.

You're forgetting one thing.
I kind of have the advantage.

- Kind of not.
- Oh.

I should've smelled you!

You would've if you wore less
of that tacky perfume.

Chanel's not tacky!

I saw you at that bar,
and I said to myself:

"This is it, Tamika.
This is your chance."

So I slipped a roofie in your drink
while you were slutting it up.

Then I followed you back
to your place with that guy.

I waited till you passed out,
then I broke in, had myself a little snack.

That is just...

I am so gonna kick your ass!

Dust can't kick.

You're gonna tell Angel the truth.

Wanna know the first thing I'll do
when I get your desk?

Smash all of those stupid,
ugly-ass unicorns!

And then you're gonna tell Angel
how you stole my Thermos...

...and filled it with human blood,
and how you tricked me...

My lips? Sealed.
The key? Lost it.

[SPEAKING IN VINJI LANGUAGE]

- Funny how that wasn't on the tape.
- They still want a...

[IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

I didn't mean to do that yet.

[IN VINJI LANGUAGE]:

I can explain...?

You should've just come to me.

Gee, I wish I'd thought
of telling her that.

I'm really, really sorry, you guys.

I wouldn't have hit you
and put you in the closet...

...if I didn't have a really good reason.

It's just...

I was scared, and...

I know you never wanted me
as your assistant, and...

Okay, I've made some bad choices.

I mean, it's not like I have a soul.
I have to try a lot harder.

WESLEY:
How's it going in there?

Well, so far no heads are rolling.
How about in here?

Harmony could've handled it better,
but she didn't kill anyone.

You'll be clean in two days,
but I'll be watching you.

I know.

He won't have
to be watching, because...

I'll just pack up my desk.

ANGEL:
Harmony...

...just bring us some coffee.

So I save the summit by killing
the skank who tried to frame me...

...and all I get is, "Get me some coffee."

You believe that?

Hey, can I get another,
but with a little umbrella?

BARTENDER: We're out.
- Right. Figures.

Yeah, life's an ever-loving bitch, isn't it?

What are you doing here?

At the moment,
hearing a bit of your story of woe.

But what happened to Europe?

Aren't you supposed to be
slayer-chasing or something?

I was on my way.
Had a boat ticket and all.

Then I put a little thinking into it.

A man can't go out in a bloody
blaze of glory saving the world...

...and show up three months later...

...getting off a cruise ship
in the south of France.

I mean, I'd love to,
don't get me wrong, but...

It's hard to top an exit like that.

Come on. Girls don't care
about stuff like that.

Just one look at you,
and she'll forget herself.

She'll get all tingly, and it won't matter
how horribly you treated her in the past...

...how you took her for granted...

Hey, I never took her for gr...

Oh.

[SIGHS]

Well, I'd expect Buffy'd be
happy enough to see me.

It's just I gave up my life for her,
the world...

...and if I show up now, flesh and bone,
my grand finale won't hold much weight.

All of it...

...won't matter.

Yeah. Not mattering.

I know that feeling well.

Oh, come on, Harm.
You matter to someone.

- I do?
- Yeah.

Girl tried to frame you, didn't she?
Must've mattered to her.

Everybody's talking about it.

You're right.

That girl hated me.
She wanted me dead.

I matter.

Yeah.
