Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996–2003): Season 6, Episode 13 - Dead Things - full transcript
Buffy goes to Tara, concerned about the fact that Spike can harm her without triggering his chip. She also gets mixed up with the Trio's latest scheme, creating a new device which will make women their mindless slaves, which goes horribly wrong when Warren's ex-girlfriend Katrina is accidentally killed. The Trio set Buffy up to make her think that she has killed Katrina - and it works. Between finding out the truth about her resurrection and believing that she has killed an innocent girl, Buffy's world begins to fall apart, and she ends up revealing to Tara that she and Spike are having sex.
Previously.
I think we screwed it up.
She's just disoriented from being
tormented in some hell dimension.
Is that the kind of demon
you are, love?
I don't know why you can hit
me, but I'm not a demon.
So you three have, what... banded
together to be pains in my ass?
We're your arch-nemesises.
- Dawn, you need to eat something.
- Thanks for your concern.
Why is she
taking it out on you?
I don't think
this is gonna work.
Are you saying
you're gonna leave me?
Willow has a problem.
No more spells.
I'm finished.
- I'm in love with you.
- You're in love with pain.
You're afraid I'm gonna...
- things have changed.
- The only thing that's different...
Is that I'm disgusted
with myself.
We missed the bed again.
Lucky for the bed.
Is this a new rug?
No. Just looks different
when you're under it.
You know, this place is okay
for a hole in the ground.
You fixed it up.
Well, I ate a decorator once.
Maybe something stuck.
I've been thinking about doing
something to my room. Yeah?
Yeah. I think the new kids on the block
posters are starting to date me.
Well, if you want, I can...
Are we having a conversation?
What? No. No.
Maybe.
Hmm.
What?
Isn't this usually the part where you kick me
in the head and run out, virtue fluttering?
That's the plan,
as soon as my legs
start working.
You were amazing.
You got the job done yourself.
I was just trying to keep up.
The things you do.
The way you make it hurt
in all the wrong places.
- I've never been
with such an animal.
I'm not an animal.
You wanna see the bite marks?
You know, it's late. I should get
home before dawn goes to sleep.
And she's off.
Have you seen my underwear?
What is this to you...
This thing we have?
We don't have a thing.
We have "this."
That's all.
Do you even like me?
Sometimes.
But you like
what I do to you.
Do you trust me?
Never.
How can I trust you
not to touch my stuff?
Actually, living with super
villains was not part of the deal.
We're on the lam, moron.
It's not like we have a choice.
This sucks. Couldn't we have at
least gotten a lair with a view?
Stop whining. Get your sissy crap
out of the way! Hey, quit it!
- Don't you curse me.
- Hey! Give me my bone!
Ow. Ow. Ow.
Hey!
When you girls are done touching each other,
the cerebral dampener is ready to be charged.
Cool.
Got the thing?
Musk gland
of a Homja-Maleev demon.
Oh! Ew! Fresh.
All right. Stand back.
Okay.
Ow.
Gentlemen, the cerebral
dampener is online.
Now with this baby, we can make any
woman we desire our willing sex slave.
I know just where to start.
Doublemeat
is double sweet. Enjoy.
Thank you.
Just somethin' I'm tryin'.
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Oh, time has no meaning here.
Gina, I'm taking a break.
I have this sudden urge to dedicate
my productive cooperation.
Well, if you
close your eyes...
And repeatedly smash yourself in the
head with frozen meat, it'll go away.
Eventually.
I'm hoping.
Thanks for coming by.
Is it bad?
I was sort of hoping
you could tell me.
I knew this was gonna happen.
What did Willow do now?
Did she... she hurt anyone?
What? Uh, no, no.
Um, Tara, this isn't
about Willow.
I thought that's why you didn't
wanna meet at the house.
Uh, sorry. It's, um...
Willow's fine. She's been
doing really well.
You'd be proud of her.
Good. That's... that's good.
So, what do you wanna
talk about?
It's spike.
He can hurt me...
Without his head exploding.
Oh, my god. His chip
stopped working? No.
It still works.
Just not on me.
I need to know
about the spell...
The one that
brought me back.
I'd ask Willow, but...
You think it's you.
I don't know.
I feel... different.
There are things that...
I think maybe
I came back wrong.
No, Buffy, that's not... no!
You didn't.
Can you check out the spell? Just
see if there's something that...
Could you just check,
please?
Right there.
That's got it.
Mad dog two to mad dog one.
I thought I was mad dog two.
Mad dog three
to mad dog one.
Signal's coming in
strong and clear. Over.
Roger that.
Beginning preliminary sweep.
Keep your potatoes peeled for the slayer.
I don't want any surprises.
We can really have
anyone we want.
- It's like candy.
- Juicy, pulsating candy.
Oh! The one with the neck.
Put the whammy on the neck!
No. The redhead.
I want the redhead.
The redhead's too tall.
So get a stepladder.
Get off of me, jerk!
Take it back!
- Target acquired.
- What?
- Initiating contact.
- The brunette?
She's kinda cute. Ow!
Oh, no.
Go for the leather skirt.
Oh, bazoombas!
- Go for the one with the bazoombas.
- Go for the bazoombas.
Bazoombas! Bazoombas!
So how did you get
so beautiful?
Okay, does that line
usually work?
What the hell
are you doing here?
It's nice to see you
again too, Katrina.
It's the seeing you part that's
throwing me here, Warren,
because I thought I was pretty clear with
the never wanting that to happen again.
Never's a long time, baby.
Apparently, not long enough.
Oh, you're not still sore
about that thing, are you?
What thing would that be,
exactly?
What, the wind-up slut
you tinkered together,
or when little miss nuts and bolts
tried to choke me to death?
Okay, so I've made
a few mistakes.
No. No, I did...
For ever lowering myself
to be with a jerk like you.
No, don't say that. Well, what did
you expect, to just waltz in here...
And sweep me off my feet with
your cheesy lines and fancy suit?
No, i... I just...
Thought we could talk.
I thought maybe
we could work things out.
There is nothing to work out.
What you did was sick.
And just looking at you
makes me wanna vomit.
- Are you sure about that?
- Yes. God, yes, I'm sure.
I love you, master.
I love you too, baby.
I'm home.
Who wants to help scrape
the grease off my...
♪♪ is there singing?
Are we singing again? Nope.
Just the dancing.
We're teaching dawn perfectly synchronized
dance steps for the wedding reception.
Wanna go for a spin?
I think I'm heading more
towards an ungainly collapse.
Oh. Rough day?
Kinda.
You've been going at it too hard, Buffy.
We hardly ever see you.
What with slingin' the doublemeat
and poundin' the big evil.
You are looking
a little pounded.
Just around the eyes.
We're thinking of heading
to the bronze later.
Wanna come,
get all unwindy?
Tall glasses of frosty relaxation on me.
Nectar of the working man.
No, thanks. I think
I'll stay here with dawn.
- Curl up on the couch with
a big bowl of popcorn and...
Listen to the cars honk?
Where are you going?
Um, sleeping over
at Janice's.
And I'm falling for that again
because of the surprise lobotomy?
It's okay.
I checked it out.
Janice's mom
is picking her up.
Oh.
I didn't think you'd care.
You're never home, so...
I know.
I'm sorry, you know.
But I'm here now,
all visible and everything.
Couldn't you just stay
at Janice's another night?
Her mom's cooking Mexican. She's gonna
teach me how to make real tortillas.
Not like I knew
you'd be around.
Frosty nectar, now, please.
Thank you, baby.
My pleasure, master.
That is so cool.
I really could've used
one of these in high school.
Gentlemen, to crime.
Crime.
Crime tastes funny.
Wow!
I still think I would've gone
with the bazoombas, but...
Wow!
Yeah.
She's really cute.
Cute?
Look at her, man.
The shape of her lips.
Smooth, silky skin.
The way her...
The way her nose crinkles
when she laughs.
She's perfect.
Yeah.
She's totally hot.
- So are you, master.
- You think so?
Oh, yes, master.
Okay, so, how do we...
You know?
Who gets to?
I do.
That's not fair.
Dude, you didn't call it.
Oh, I don't have to call it, sparky.
She's mine.
But don't worry. You can
play with her all you want...
After I'm done with her.
I missed you so much. You
never should've left me.
Say it. I never should've
left you, master.
Tell me you love me.
I love you, master.
Again.
I love you, master.
I love you too, baby.
Get on your knees.
Yes, Warren.
Wait.
What'd you just say?
I said, "yes, war..."
what the...
What did you do to me?
Get the dampener!
- Who the hell are you?
- Um, your masters?
- My what?
- Where'd you put it?
Are you kidding me?
Get the dampener.
You were gonna share me
with these two dorks?
Hey, we're super villains.
Call us master.
Wait!
Aw, crap.
It's outta juice.
Is that what
you used on me?
Oh, my god.
First a skankbot, and now this?
What is wrong with you?
I wanted us to be together.
There is no us, Warren. Get that
through your big, meaty head.
I am not
your girlfriend anymore.
- She's your ex?
- Dude, that is messed up.
Oh, you think, you bunch of little
boys, playing at being men?
Well, this is not some fantasy! It's
not a game, you freaks! It's rape.
- What?
- No, we didn't...
You're all sick, and I'm gonna make
sure you get locked up for this.
And then we'll see
how you like getting raped.
Stop her.
Get off me!
Charge
the cerebral dampener.
Warren... charge the dampener.
Andrew,
get her up.
We'll give her another dose.
A strong one.
Everything's all right.
Everything is gonna
be all right.
I don't think so.
She's dead.
Oh, god. Oh, god.
Oh, god. Oh, god.
Her neck. It... it just...
No. That's not...
This isn't happening.
I just... I gotta...
Let me think.
What'd you do?
Oh, god.
What the hell did you do?
We did this. Me and Andrew and you.
It's on all of us!
- Oh, god. Oh, god.
- Shut up!
We have to get... we
have to get rid of it.
How?
Maybe a spell. Can you
teleport it out of here?
No. She's...
It's too big.
Andrew.
Andrew!
What?
Is there anything
that you can summon?
Something that...
Something that can
devour that much?
Maybe a Jarvlen flesh-eater,
but they're hard to control.
It'd go for us too.
Oh, well, that's it, man. We're screwed.
We just have to stay calm.
Tell that to your girlfriend.
Ex-girlfriend.
It doesn't matter!
There's a link.
You knew her, so there's a link. You don't
think Buffy will be able to put that together?
That's what she does.
She'll figure it out!
It was an accident. Maybe
we could turn ourselves in.
No. He's right. If we
go to the police now...
- No. I am not going to jail.
- We can't hide this!
Sooner or later, the slayer's
gonna find out she's dead.
Well, then, maybe
it should be sooner.
Are you insane? No!
Listen to me. Listen!
We have two problems...
The body and the slayer.
What if there was a way that we
could take care of them both...
With one big stone?
What are they doing?
♪♪
We're not gonna have to do
that at the wedding, are we?
'Cause there's this last thread of dignity
I've been desperately clinging to.
You're still
doing okay, right?
Yeah. You know,
some days are harder...
Than the really hard days.
It's easier like this, though,
when I'm not alone.
I'm sorry I haven't
been around that much.
Oh, no. That's not... it's okay.
We know you've been all tied up.
What?
With your job
and the slaying.
Hey, I see sitting where
there should be dancing.
Come share in the joy
of our groove thang.
And despite that,
I succumb to the beat.
I think I'll catch
the next soul train out.
You sure?
Oh, yeah. You know.
Glass all the way empty.
More nectar required.
Cool. Well, shimmy on out
when you're done lubricatin'.
♪♪
You see,
you try to
be with them,
but you always end
up in the dark...
With me.
What would they think of you
if they found out...
All the things
you've done?
If they knew...
Who you really were?
Don't.
Stop me.
No. Don't close your eyes.
Look at them.
That's not your world.
You belong
in the shadows...
With me.
Look at your friends
and tell me...
You don't love
getting away with this...
Right under their noses.
I think I pulled
a jive muscle last night.
The funky monkey
claims another victim.
Tara.
What are you doin' here?
I mean, uh, it's okay
for you to be here...
If you have things that
you have to be here for.
I'm gonna go bring
Anya up to speed...
On that monkey situation.
There's a monkey problem?
Only if you don't
stretch first.
The Brekenkrieg Grimore?
Light reading?
Yeah. I was just...
No, it's okay.
I didn't expect you...
To stop doing magic
just because...
You don't have
to hide it.
I'm not...
I'm doing better.
No spells for 32 days.
I can even go to
the magic shop now,
as long as someone's
with me at all times.
But, uh...
But it's better now.
It really is.
You know, if you were
checking on me.
No. I wouldn't...
I was just looking for Buffy.
Oh. Well, I haven't
seen her since last night.
She's not around
much these days.
We kinda miss her.
I'm sure she feels
the same way.
If you see her, can you tell her that I
need to talk to her? It's important.
Yeah.
Of course I will.
Thanks.
Wil?
I'm... I'm glad
you're doing better.

Thank you.
Huh?
It's okay. I'm gonna
get you out of here.
Can you walk?
Are you hurt?
Buffy, what did you do?
What did you do, Buffy?
Ow! Bloody hell.
What'd you do that for?
Spike?
Buffy!
Spike, what's happening?
So, you thought you could
just slip away then?
Vampire, remember?
I could feel you.
Ow! Bloody hell.
What'd you do that for?
Buffy!
Buffy!
Do you mind?
Buffy.
She's dead.
I killed her.
We have to go.
What happened?
There's nothing
you can do now.
We have to go before
someone sees you.
What did I do?
We have to go now.
All right. Listen to me, Buffy.
Buffy! She's dead.
It was an accident.
I killed her.
I'm gonna get you home.
No.
I'm gonna get you home, and you're
gonna crawl in your warm, comfy bed...
And stay there.
We're gonna sort this out.
Trust me.
Two problems,
one stone.
Nice job.
She totally bought it.
Yeah.
Some of
my best work.
Uh, what happens now?
Well, the night's young. Gotta be
some more girls we could kill.
We stick to the plan.
Buffy thinks
she killed Katrina.
Well, it's her problem now.
What did you do, Buffy?
What did you do?
It's all right, love.
Shh. Don't worry.
It'll be
our little secret.
Do you trust me?
Hey.
What time is it?
It's late.
I just wanna...
I love you.
You know that, right?
What's wrong?
I know I haven't
been everything I should be...
Everything mom was.
But I love you.
I always will.
Why are you talking
like this? Buffy?
There was an accident...
In the woods.
A girl.
She was hurt.
I hurt someone.
Oh, my god.
Is she all right?
No.
I'm sorry.
There's something
I have to do.
I have to tell
what I did.
I have to go to the police.
The police?
Dawnie, I have to.
But...
What's going to happen?
I don't know.
They'll take you away,
won't they?
I'm sorry.
No, you're not.
You're never here.
You can't even stand
to be around me.
That is not true. You don't
wanna be here with me.
You didn't
wanna come back.
I know that.
You were happier
where you were.
You wanna
go away again.
Dawn.
Then go.
You're not really
here anyway.
What do you think
you're doing?
The right thing for once.
Sorry, love.
Can't let you do that.
I have to tell them what happened.
Nothing happened.
I killed that girl.
Demons in the woods?
Time going wonky?
They won't believe you.
I'll show them.
Show them what?
What did you do?
I took care of it.
What did you do?
What I had to. I went back
and I took care of it.
It doesn't matter now.
No one will ever find her.
Where'd they find her?
The river. She washed up
half a mile from the cemetery.
Oh, balls.
There still isn't anything
to connect this to you.
- It doesn't matter.
- It wasn't your fault.
- I killed her.
- It was an accident. It just happened.
Nothing just happens.
You are not going in there.
I have to do this.
Just let me go.
I can't. I love you.
No, you don't.
You think
I haven't tried not to?
Try harder.
You are not throwing
your life away over this.
- It's not your choice.
- Why are you doing this to yourself?
A girl is dead because of me.
And how many people are alive because
of you? How many have you saved?
One dead girl
doesn't tip the scale.
That's all it is to you,
isn't it? Just another body.
Buffy.
You can't understand why
this is killing me, can you?
Why don't you explain it?
That's it. Put it on me.
Put it all on me.
- That's my girl.
- I am not your girl!
You don't have a soul!
There is nothing good
or clean in you!
You are dead inside!
You can't feel anything real.
I could never be your girl!
You always hurt
the one you love, pet.
Buffy?
Buffy.
No. No statements, not
until I get confirmation.
Excuse me. I need...
I'll be with you in a sec.
Sunnydale p.D.
Yeah. The phone's
ringing off the hook here.
Listen, you got an I.D.
On that body yet?
Yeah?
Okay, shoot.
Katrina Silber.
S-i-l-b-e-r.
- Just tell her to go away.
- I can't.
You're keeping secrets from me...
other girls and who knows what else?
Trina, shut up.
Warren.
Thanks. Now, what's
the problem, miss?
Is this what you saw?
Yeah, that's it.
The Rwasundi. Very rare.
Its presence in our dimension
causes a sort of...
Localized temporal
disturbance.
So, that's why time went
all David lynch? Right.
Human perception is based
on a linear chronology.
Being exposed to the Rwasundi
for more than a few seconds...
Can cause vivid hallucinations
and a slight tingly scalp.
So, that's it. These things just
made you think you killed her.
She was probably dead long
before you stumbled across her.
It wasn't the demon.
It was Warren.
He knew Katrina. He had something
to do with it. I know it.
- How can you be sure?
- You always hurt the one you love.
Does this mean
you're not going away?
Yeah. I'm not going anywhere.
We need to find Warren
and the others.
Whatever they've done, they're
not gonna get away with it.
We're gonna get away with it.
"Injuries consistent with a fall."
The coroner's
ruling it a suicide.
What about Buffy?
It wasn't that hard messing her game up.
If she figures it out,
we'll take care of her.
We really got away
with murder.
That's... kinda cool.
Yeah.
- Cool.
- Are you sure?
I've double-checked everything.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Then why can spike hurt me?
Well, I said that there was
nothing wrong with you,
but you are different.
Shifting you out of...
From where you were...
Funneling your essence
back into your body,
it altered you on
a basic, molecular level,
probably just enough to confuse the
sensors or whatever in spike's chip,
but it's all just surfacey,
physical stuff.
It wouldn't have any more
effect than a bad sunburn.
I didn't come back wrong?
No. You're
the same Buffy...
With a deep,
tropical cellular tan.
You must've missed something.
Will you check again?
Buffy, I promise. There's
nothing wrong with you.
There has to be.
This just can't be me.
It isn't me.
Why do I feel like this?
Why do I let spike
do those things to me?
You mean hit you?
Oh.
Oh... really.
He's everything I hate.
He's everything that
I'm supposed to be against,
but the only time that
I ever feel anything is when...
- Don't tell anyone, please.
- I won't.
Oh, the way they would look at me.
I just couldn't...
I won't tell anyone.
I wouldn't do that.
Why can't I stop?
Why do I keep letting him in?
Do you love him?
It's okay if you do.
He's done a lot of good,
and he does love you.
And, Buffy,
it's okay if you don't.
You're going through a really
hard time, and you're...
What? Using him?
What's okay about that?
It's not that simple.
It is. It's wrong.
I'm wrong. Tell me
that I'm wrong, please.
Please don't forgive me.
Please!
God, please don't.
Please don't forgive me!
Please don't!
Grr! Arrgh!
I think we screwed it up.
She's just disoriented from being
tormented in some hell dimension.
Is that the kind of demon
you are, love?
I don't know why you can hit
me, but I'm not a demon.
So you three have, what... banded
together to be pains in my ass?
We're your arch-nemesises.
- Dawn, you need to eat something.
- Thanks for your concern.
Why is she
taking it out on you?
I don't think
this is gonna work.
Are you saying
you're gonna leave me?
Willow has a problem.
No more spells.
I'm finished.
- I'm in love with you.
- You're in love with pain.
You're afraid I'm gonna...
- things have changed.
- The only thing that's different...
Is that I'm disgusted
with myself.
We missed the bed again.
Lucky for the bed.
Is this a new rug?
No. Just looks different
when you're under it.
You know, this place is okay
for a hole in the ground.
You fixed it up.
Well, I ate a decorator once.
Maybe something stuck.
I've been thinking about doing
something to my room. Yeah?
Yeah. I think the new kids on the block
posters are starting to date me.
Well, if you want, I can...
Are we having a conversation?
What? No. No.
Maybe.
Hmm.
What?
Isn't this usually the part where you kick me
in the head and run out, virtue fluttering?
That's the plan,
as soon as my legs
start working.
You were amazing.
You got the job done yourself.
I was just trying to keep up.
The things you do.
The way you make it hurt
in all the wrong places.
- I've never been
with such an animal.
I'm not an animal.
You wanna see the bite marks?
You know, it's late. I should get
home before dawn goes to sleep.
And she's off.
Have you seen my underwear?
What is this to you...
This thing we have?
We don't have a thing.
We have "this."

Never.

It's not like we have a choice.
This sucks. Couldn't we have at

Stop whining. Get your sissy crap
out of the way! Hey, quit it!
- Don't you curse me.
- Hey! Give me my bone!
Ow. Ow. Ow.
Hey!
When you girls are done touching each other,
the cerebral dampener is ready to be charged.
Cool.
Got the thing?
Musk gland
of a Homja-Maleev demon.
Oh! Ew! Fresh.
All right. Stand back.
Okay.
Ow.
Gentlemen, the cerebral
dampener is online.
Now with this baby, we can make any
woman we desire our willing sex slave.
I know just where to start.
Doublemeat
is double sweet. Enjoy.
Thank you.
Just somethin' I'm tryin'.
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Oh, time has no meaning here.
Gina, I'm taking a break.
I have this sudden urge to dedicate
my productive cooperation.
Well, if you
close your eyes...
And repeatedly smash yourself in the
head with frozen meat, it'll go away.
Eventually.
I'm hoping.
Thanks for coming by.
Is it bad?
I was sort of hoping
you could tell me.
I knew this was gonna happen.
What did Willow do now?
Did she... she hurt anyone?
What? Uh, no, no.
Um, Tara, this isn't
about Willow.
I thought that's why you didn't
wanna meet at the house.
Uh, sorry. It's, um...
Willow's fine. She's been
doing really well.
You'd be proud of her.
Good. That's... that's good.
So, what do you wanna
talk about?
It's spike.
He can hurt me...
Without his head exploding.
Oh, my god. His chip
stopped working? No.
It still works.
Just not on me.
I need to know
about the spell...
The one that
brought me back.
I'd ask Willow, but...
You think it's you.
I don't know.
I feel... different.
There are things that...
I think maybe
I came back wrong.
No, Buffy, that's not... no!
You didn't.
Can you check out the spell? Just
see if there's something that...
Could you just check,
please?
Right there.
That's got it.
Mad dog two to mad dog one.
I thought I was mad dog two.
Mad dog three
to mad dog one.
Signal's coming in
strong and clear. Over.
Roger that.
Beginning preliminary sweep.
Keep your potatoes peeled for the slayer.
I don't want any surprises.
We can really have
anyone we want.
- It's like candy.
- Juicy, pulsating candy.
Oh! The one with the neck.
Put the whammy on the neck!
No. The redhead.
I want the redhead.
The redhead's too tall.
So get a stepladder.
Get off of me, jerk!
Take it back!
- Target acquired.
- What?
- Initiating contact.
- The brunette?
She's kinda cute. Ow!
Oh, no.
Go for the leather skirt.
Oh, bazoombas!
- Go for the one with the bazoombas.
- Go for the bazoombas.
Bazoombas! Bazoombas!
So how did you get
so beautiful?
Okay, does that line
usually work?
What the hell
are you doing here?
It's nice to see you
again too, Katrina.
It's the seeing you part that's
throwing me here, Warren,
because I thought I was pretty clear with
the never wanting that to happen again.
Never's a long time, baby.
Apparently, not long enough.
Oh, you're not still sore
about that thing, are you?
What thing would that be,
exactly?
What, the wind-up slut
you tinkered together,
or when little miss nuts and bolts
tried to choke me to death?
Okay, so I've made
a few mistakes.
No. No, I did...
For ever lowering myself
to be with a jerk like you.
No, don't say that. Well, what did
you expect, to just waltz in here...
And sweep me off my feet with
your cheesy lines and fancy suit?
No, i... I just...
Thought we could talk.
I thought maybe
we could work things out.
There is nothing to work out.
What you did was sick.
And just looking at you
makes me wanna vomit.
- Are you sure about that?
- Yes. God, yes, I'm sure.
I love you, master.
I love you too, baby.
I'm home.
Who wants to help scrape
the grease off my...
♪♪ is there singing?
Are we singing again? Nope.
Just the dancing.
We're teaching dawn perfectly synchronized
dance steps for the wedding reception.
Wanna go for a spin?
I think I'm heading more
towards an ungainly collapse.
Oh. Rough day?
Kinda.
You've been going at it too hard, Buffy.
We hardly ever see you.
What with slingin' the doublemeat
and poundin' the big evil.
You are looking
a little pounded.
Just around the eyes.
We're thinking of heading
to the bronze later.
Wanna come,
get all unwindy?
Tall glasses of frosty relaxation on me.
Nectar of the working man.
No, thanks. I think
I'll stay here with dawn.
- Curl up on the couch with
a big bowl of popcorn and...
Listen to the cars honk?
Where are you going?
Um, sleeping over
at Janice's.
And I'm falling for that again
because of the surprise lobotomy?
It's okay.
I checked it out.
Janice's mom
is picking her up.
Oh.
I didn't think you'd care.
You're never home, so...
I know.
I'm sorry, you know.
But I'm here now,
all visible and everything.
Couldn't you just stay
at Janice's another night?
Her mom's cooking Mexican. She's gonna
teach me how to make real tortillas.
Not like I knew
you'd be around.
Frosty nectar, now, please.
Thank you, baby.
My pleasure, master.
That is so cool.
I really could've used
one of these in high school.
Gentlemen, to crime.
Crime.
Crime tastes funny.
Wow!
I still think I would've gone
with the bazoombas, but...
Wow!
Yeah.
She's really cute.
Cute?
Look at her, man.
The shape of her lips.
Smooth, silky skin.
The way her...
The way her nose crinkles
when she laughs.
She's perfect.
Yeah.
She's totally hot.
- So are you, master.
- You think so?
Oh, yes, master.
Okay, so, how do we...
You know?
Who gets to?
I do.
That's not fair.
Dude, you didn't call it.
Oh, I don't have to call it, sparky.
She's mine.
But don't worry. You can
play with her all you want...
After I'm done with her.
I missed you so much. You
never should've left me.
Say it. I never should've
left you, master.
Tell me you love me.
I love you, master.
Again.
I love you, master.
I love you too, baby.
Get on your knees.
Yes, Warren.
Wait.
What'd you just say?
I said, "yes, war..."
what the...
What did you do to me?
Get the dampener!
- Who the hell are you?
- Um, your masters?
- My what?
- Where'd you put it?
Are you kidding me?
Get the dampener.
You were gonna share me
with these two dorks?
Hey, we're super villains.
Call us master.
Wait!
Aw, crap.
It's outta juice.
Is that what
you used on me?
Oh, my god.
First a skankbot, and now this?
What is wrong with you?
I wanted us to be together.
There is no us, Warren. Get that
through your big, meaty head.
I am not
your girlfriend anymore.
- She's your ex?
- Dude, that is messed up.
Oh, you think, you bunch of little
boys, playing at being men?
Well, this is not some fantasy! It's
not a game, you freaks! It's rape.
- What?
- No, we didn't...
You're all sick, and I'm gonna make
sure you get locked up for this.
And then we'll see
how you like getting raped.
Stop her.
Get off me!
Charge
the cerebral dampener.
Warren... charge the dampener.
Andrew,
get her up.
We'll give her another dose.
A strong one.
Everything's all right.
Everything is gonna
be all right.
I don't think so.
She's dead.
Oh, god. Oh, god.
Oh, god. Oh, god.
Her neck. It... it just...
No. That's not...
This isn't happening.
I just... I gotta...
Let me think.
What'd you do?
Oh, god.
What the hell did you do?
We did this. Me and Andrew and you.
It's on all of us!
- Oh, god. Oh, god.
- Shut up!
We have to get... we
have to get rid of it.
How?
Maybe a spell. Can you
teleport it out of here?
No. She's...
It's too big.
Andrew.
Andrew!
What?
Is there anything
that you can summon?
Something that...
Something that can
devour that much?
Maybe a Jarvlen flesh-eater,
but they're hard to control.
It'd go for us too.
Oh, well, that's it, man. We're screwed.
We just have to stay calm.
Tell that to your girlfriend.
Ex-girlfriend.
It doesn't matter!
There's a link.
You knew her, so there's a link. You don't
think Buffy will be able to put that together?
That's what she does.
She'll figure it out!
It was an accident. Maybe
we could turn ourselves in.
No. He's right. If we
go to the police now...
- No. I am not going to jail.
- We can't hide this!
Sooner or later, the slayer's
gonna find out she's dead.
Well, then, maybe
it should be sooner.
Are you insane? No!
Listen to me. Listen!
We have two problems...
The body and the slayer.
What if there was a way that we
could take care of them both...
With one big stone?
What are they doing?

We're not gonna have to do
that at the wedding, are we?
'Cause there's this last thread of dignity
I've been desperately clinging to.

doing okay, right?
Yeah. You know,
some days are harder...
Than the really hard days.
It's easier like this, though,
when I'm not alone.
I'm sorry I haven't
been around that much.
Oh, no. That's not... it's okay.
We know you've been all tied up.
What?
With your job
and the slaying.
Hey, I see sitting where
there should be dancing.
Come share in the joy

And despite that,
I succumb to the beat.

Oh, yeah. You know.
Glass all the way empty.
More nectar required.

No spells for 32 days.
I can even go to

But, uh...
But it's better now.
It really is.
You know, if you were
checking on me.
No. I wouldn't...
I was just looking for Buffy.
Oh. Well, I haven't
seen her since last night.
She's not around
much these days.
We kinda miss her.
I'm sure she feels
the same way.
If you see her, can you tell her that I
need to talk to her? It's important.
Yeah.
Of course I will.
Thanks.

What did you do, Buffy?
Ow! Bloody hell.
What'd you do that for?
Spike?
Buffy!
Spike, what's happening?
So, you thought you could
just slip away then?
Vampire, remember?
I could feel you.
Ow! Bloody hell.
What'd you do that for?
Buffy!
Buffy!
Do you mind?
Buffy.
She's dead.
I killed her.
We have to go.
What happened?
There's nothing
you can do now.
We have to go before
someone sees you.
What did I do?
We have to go now.
All right. Listen to me, Buffy.
Buffy! She's dead.
It was an accident.
I killed her.
I'm gonna get you home.
No.
I'm gonna get you home, and you're
gonna crawl in your warm, comfy bed...
And stay there.
We're gonna sort this out.
Trust me.
Two problems,
one stone.
Nice job.
She totally bought it.
Yeah.
Some of
my best work.
Uh, what happens now?
Well, the night's young. Gotta be
some more girls we could kill.
We stick to the plan.
Buffy thinks
she killed Katrina.
Well, it's her problem now.
What did you do, Buffy?
What did you do?
It's all right, love.
Shh. Don't worry.
It'll be
our little secret.
Do you trust me?
Hey.
What time is it?
It's late.
I just wanna...
I love you.
You know that, right?
What's wrong?
I know I haven't
been everything I should be...
Everything mom was.
But I love you.
I always will.
Why are you talking
like this? Buffy?
There was an accident...
In the woods.
A girl.
She was hurt.
I hurt someone.
Oh, my god.
Is she all right?
No.
I'm sorry.
There's something
I have to do.
I have to tell
what I did.
I have to go to the police.
The police?
Dawnie, I have to.
But...
What's going to happen?
I don't know.
They'll take you away,
won't they?
I'm sorry.
No, you're not.
You're never here.
You can't even stand
to be around me.
That is not true. You don't
wanna be here with me.
You didn't
wanna come back.
I know that.
You were happier
where you were.
You wanna
go away again.
Dawn.
Then go.
You're not really
here anyway.
What do you think
you're doing?
The right thing for once.
Sorry, love.
Can't let you do that.
I have to tell them what happened.
Nothing happened.
I killed that girl.
Demons in the woods?
Time going wonky?
They won't believe you.
I'll show them.
Show them what?
What did you do?
I took care of it.
What did you do?
What I had to. I went back
and I took care of it.
It doesn't matter now.
No one will ever find her.
Where'd they find her?
The river. She washed up
half a mile from the cemetery.
Oh, balls.
There still isn't anything
to connect this to you.
- It doesn't matter.
- It wasn't your fault.
- I killed her.
- It was an accident. It just happened.
Nothing just happens.
You are not going in there.
I have to do this.
Just let me go.
I can't. I love you.
No, you don't.
You think
I haven't tried not to?
Try harder.
You are not throwing
your life away over this.
- It's not your choice.
- Why are you doing this to yourself?
A girl is dead because of me.
And how many people are alive because
of you? How many have you saved?
One dead girl
doesn't tip the scale.
That's all it is to you,
isn't it? Just another body.
Buffy.
You can't understand why
this is killing me, can you?
Why don't you explain it?
That's it. Put it on me.
Put it all on me.
- That's my girl.
- I am not your girl!
You don't have a soul!
There is nothing good
or clean in you!
You are dead inside!
You can't feel anything real.
I could never be your girl!
You always hurt
the one you love, pet.
Buffy?
Buffy.
No. No statements, not
until I get confirmation.
Excuse me. I need...
I'll be with you in a sec.
Sunnydale p.D.
Yeah. The phone's
ringing off the hook here.
Listen, you got an I.D.
On that body yet?
Yeah?
Okay, shoot.
Katrina Silber.
S-i-l-b-e-r.
- Just tell her to go away.
- I can't.
You're keeping secrets from me...
other girls and who knows what else?
Trina, shut up.
Warren.
Thanks. Now, what's
the problem, miss?
Is this what you saw?
Yeah, that's it.
The Rwasundi. Very rare.
Its presence in our dimension
causes a sort of...
Localized temporal
disturbance.
So, that's why time went
all David lynch? Right.
Human perception is based
on a linear chronology.
Being exposed to the Rwasundi
for more than a few seconds...
Can cause vivid hallucinations
and a slight tingly scalp.
So, that's it. These things just
made you think you killed her.
She was probably dead long
before you stumbled across her.
It wasn't the demon.
It was Warren.
He knew Katrina. He had something
to do with it. I know it.
- How can you be sure?
- You always hurt the one you love.
Does this mean
you're not going away?
Yeah. I'm not going anywhere.
We need to find Warren
and the others.
Whatever they've done, they're
not gonna get away with it.
We're gonna get away with it.
"Injuries consistent with a fall."
The coroner's
ruling it a suicide.
What about Buffy?
It wasn't that hard messing her game up.
If she figures it out,
we'll take care of her.
We really got away
with murder.
That's... kinda cool.
Yeah.
- Cool.
- Are you sure?
I've double-checked everything.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Then why can spike hurt me?
Well, I said that there was
nothing wrong with you,
but you are different.
Shifting you out of...
From where you were...
Funneling your essence
back into your body,
it altered you on
a basic, molecular level,
probably just enough to confuse the
sensors or whatever in spike's chip,
but it's all just surfacey,
physical stuff.
It wouldn't have any more
effect than a bad sunburn.
I didn't come back wrong?
No. You're
the same Buffy...
With a deep,
tropical cellular tan.
You must've missed something.
Will you check again?
Buffy, I promise. There's
nothing wrong with you.
There has to be.
This just can't be me.
It isn't me.
Why do I feel like this?
Why do I let spike
do those things to me?
You mean hit you?
Oh.
Oh... really.
He's everything I hate.
He's everything that
I'm supposed to be against,
but the only time that
I ever feel anything is when...
- Don't tell anyone, please.
- I won't.
Oh, the way they would look at me.
I just couldn't...
I won't tell anyone.
I wouldn't do that.
Why can't I stop?
Why do I keep letting him in?
Do you love him?
It's okay if you do.
He's done a lot of good,
and he does love you.
And, Buffy,
it's okay if you don't.
You're going through a really
hard time, and you're...
What? Using him?
What's okay about that?
It's not that simple.
It is. It's wrong.
I'm wrong. Tell me
that I'm wrong, please.
Please don't forgive me.
Please!
God, please don't.
Please don't forgive me!
Please don't!
Grr! Arrgh!
