Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996–2003): Season 6, Episode 19 - Seeing Red - full transcript

Previously on
Buffy the vampire slayer.

- Why won't you sleep with me again?
- Because I don't love you.

Like hell.

- I thought you were gonna go see Tara.
- She's seeing someone else.

- Probably just friends.
- We should have some coffee sometime.

I'm free tomorrow.

- Whoa.
- Shut it down! Shut it all down!

Is that the camera
in the magic box?

Oh, my god.

Oh, god.
What is she...

That's enough.



You left me, Xander.
At the altar.

I don't owe you anything.

So you go out and bang
the first body you can find?

It's good enough for Buffy.

Shut up
and leave her out of...

- Tara?
- You can't just have coffee and expect...

- I know.
- There's just so much to work through.

Trust has to be built again.
On both sides.

Can we just skip it?
Can you just be kissing me now?

When did morning happen?
After the moon went down.

Mmm. Ohh.

Mmm. I forgot how good
this could feel...

Us together
without the magic.

There was plenty of magic.



It's getting late.

Want to get up?
No.

Oh, god. No.

Mmm. I was just thinking
about Buffy.

Oh.
She still isn't back?

I didn't hear her.

She wouldn't talk about what happened at the
magic shop when she got home last night.

She just wanted to know
how close I was...

To tracing the camera signal
back to the empire of the nerds.

Then, she left again.

I'm sure she'll be okay.

Yeah, i... I'm not really
worried about her...

Going up against
Warren and the others.

I know this is going
to sound crazy, but...

I think something
might be going on...

With spike and Buffy.

I mean, she looked so hurt
when she saw him with Anya.

I think maybe... they've
been sleeping together.

No.

I wouldn't go that far.

No, I mean, she told me they've
been sleeping together.

Sleeping together?

You mean, like, the naked
kind of "together"?

I'm sorry I didn't say
anything, but i...

I promised her I wouldn't.

Does everybody else know?
Am I the only one she didn't...

God, no. She... she didn't
even mean to tell me.

It just came out.

How could she hide something
like this from me?

I think she was afraid of the
look you'd get on your face.

Kind of like the one
you're wearing now.

Oh, no. I'm not...

I'm just
trying to understand.

So is she.

Wow. She probably really
needs someone to talk to.

Probably.

We've been kind of busy. Maybe
we didn't hear her come home.

Buffy?

- She back yet?
- Oh. Not yet.

I'm sure
she'll be home soon.

- Everything's fine. Just go back to bed.
- It's 10:00.

Oh. Uh...

You don't think she's
gonna hurt spike, do you?

She told you about spike?

It was kind of obvious
after last night.

Yeah, I totally knew.

Must've hurt so much to see
him and-and Anya like that.

And poor Xander.
Everything is so screwed up.

It's gonna be all right.
It's just complicated.

Yeah, when-when people have such
strong feelings for each other,

sometimes...
Is she back yet?

- Oh. Hey.
- You and...

Uh, that's my cue to go put
some clothes on. No! No-no-no.

I-I... I'm totally not here. You
guys, you do whatever you want.

Um, I'll go watch TV...
Downstairs, really loud...

In the basement, where
I can't hear anything.

Oh, my god!

I love you guys!

All right.
Let's make this quick.

Fine. But I'm not leaving
till we have a little chat.

Very little, considering the
pummeling that needs to occur.

I mean, guys, hello?

Slayer here.

Did you honestly think
I wouldn't find you?

Well, that can't be good.

Okay.
That's gonna cost ya.

Okay, we're here,
ready for action.

Uh, bad guy fighting action.

Guys, you didn't have to,
you know,

if you still want to be
alone.

No, no. We're good.
We're better than good.

- Great.
- Super.

Ahhh.

- Okay. All right. We'll stop.
- Oh, you better not.

So, uh, nerds?
How are them... they?

Well, I found their lair, but they obviously
knew we were tracing their signal.

They left in a hurry. The Van was gone,
but everything else was still there.

Uh, we should go back. Uh, Tara
and I can Sherlock around and...

Nothing left now...
Giant buzz saw.

It was a thing. This is
all that I could save.

I know it's not much, but we need to go
through it and see if we can find...

Anything that might tell us what
they're doing, where they're going.

Oh!

Uh, this might
take a while.

Anything we can do
to fast-forward?

We need to find Warren and the
others before anyone gets hurt.

Should we call Xander?

I don't think he's really
in the Scooby space.

We need to give him some time.

Maybe they've heard something in
the demon bars about those guys?

- Uh, spike...
- Spike...

Spike's not
part of the team.

So, he's not... Going
to be around anymore?

Uh, I don't know, dawn.
Not-not for a while.

What about Anya? She might be
able to help with the demon text.

I'm guessing she's not feeling
real researchy right now.

I know how you feel.
Maybe I can help.

How could Carl do that
to me, that bastard?

He's a man.
Look no further.

But with my sister?
She's not even pretty.

Well, it isn't always about looks...
Or a beating heart.

Sometimes intimate sweaty relations
with the wrong person...

Just seems like
a good idea at the time.

She's fat.
He cheated on me...

With my fat, ugly sister.

Likes 'em fleshy, huh?

Bet you wish he'd bloat up
a couple of thousand pounds...

And pop like a big old
meat zeppelin, don't you?

- He said he loved me.
- Well, gee. Then he must have meant it,

'cause, hey, guys never say anything
they don't really mean, do they?

But we... they say, "I love
you," and you think it's true.

They say, "oh, Anya. I want to be
with you for the rest of my life."

And-and you believe them.

You believe they feel the same way
about you, because that's the way...

- Love's supposed to be, right?
- Who's Anya?

And then you get all excited with
the tingly anticipation. But wait!

Not so fast.
There's the apocalypse.

And the back from the grave. And
the blah-blah, blah-blah-blah.

And by the time you're standing there in
that beautifully expensive white dress...

You've dreamed about
ever since you became human,

he gets all heebie-jeebie and decides,
"you know, I'd rather just go steady."

Men suck.
I wish Carl's flesh would...

You know, he said it isn't me,
but how can I believe him?

I mean, he knew he didn't
want to get married.

Deep down, he knew. But he lied
to me every day for months.

- I wish...
- and he lied and lied and lied some more.

'Cause, hey, who's gonna notice with all the
other lies flying around like little monkeys.

Then he thinks he can just sweep the carnage
underneath the rug by saying, "oh..."

I'm sorry!
Sorry! I'm sorry!

Sorry, please! I'll never try to
desecrate your chamber again!

Don't hurt me, please.

- Hit him again!
- Hit him again!

Wow. These things are
tougher than I thought.

You know, one jolt from this
should've dropped an elephant.

You want a piece
of this, huh? Yeah!

Not so tough, are
ya now, pufnstuf!

Hey, hey, hey! We need him fresh,
all right? Not smokehouse.

I'm done bein' the bait. Next time,
one of you can wiggle on the hook.

If this works, the next time we'll be
the thing that everyone's afraid of.

Okay, so... what now?

Well, now, it's
your turn, sparky.

Does it help?

It doesn't hurt.

Not plannin' a campout, are we?
No.

I'm sleeping
over at Janice's.

Figured Willow and Tara
might want some time to, uh...

Oh, so the birds
are flying again, eh?

Ain't love grand?

I wanted to stop by
on my way and, you know.

Everybody's
pretty mad at you.

Yeah. Kinda picked up on that.

You're not gonna be
coming around anymore,

are you?

It's complicated,
nibblet.

Everybody's been saying that.

It must be true then.

Was it worth it?

What you did with Anya?

Buffy told you?

Kinda caught the show.

There was a camera
somewhere in the magic box.

Uh, Warren and-and Jonathan and that
other guy have been watching Buffy.

Wankers.

Do you love her?

Oh, no. No.

It was just a...
Uh...

It was a bad day,
for both of us.

And we'd just had a few
drinks, and things just...

No. Not Anya.

Buffy.

Do you
really love her?

Then how could you
do that to her?

Oh right, 'cause big sis was treatin'
me so well up until that point.

Must still be a bit of the
evil left in me after all.

I don't know what
happened between you two.

But what you did last night?

If you wanted to hurt Buffy,
congratulations.

It worked.

This is it.
We found it.

- You sure it's in there?
- Be careful.

Only nezzla demons can
pass through the barrier.

Everything else gets curly fried.
This sucks.

- Just make sure all your skin's covered.
- Why can't I just use a glamour?

You can't Siegfried and Roy the barrier.
It's gotta be the real deal.

- It's still wet.
- Good. Then it should, uh,

- still be fresh enough.
- Should be?

Wait a minute. What do you mean should be?
What? Wait!

I wasn't sure that would work.

Jackass.

- You think he knows?
- Well, if he did, why would he be here?

Why is he? Our mojo's tight, bro. We
could have pulled this ourselves.

Yeah, well, somebody had to
Guinea pig the meat suit.

Were-were you gonna volunteer?

- I don't trust that leprechaun.
- Just stay frosty. If this works the way we planned it,

by the end of the evening,
Jonathan won't be a problem.

You got it?
Yeah, I got it.

- That's it?
- It better be.

No way I'm goin' back through there.
That thing stings like a mother.

Dude.
Unholy hair gel.

- Get off.
- Make me, skin job.

Just shut up.

Oh!

Gentlemen,
the orbs of nezzla'Khan.

Strength, invulnerability...
The deluxe package.

They're everything
I've ever dreamed of.

You know, those things have been down
there for, like, a zillion years.

- How do we know
they'll still work?

Ah, they work.

You don't look any different.

I thought they were supposed
to make us all huge and veiny.

- Are you sure
they're working right?

Let's find out.

Mahatma.

- Welcome to the show, boys!
- That was so hot.

- Let me try 'em!
- Watch the paws, little man.

Ow.
You're supposed to share.

Oh, relax.
Now, you'll each get a whirl.

As soon as I'm done
playing with them.

Hey.

Hey.

I think there's still a cold
one in the fridge. Thanks.

But, uh, I think it's still
a little early for me.

She loves you.

You know that.
Anya was just...

She was hurting.

She was hurting, and-and she
did this really stupid thing.

With your boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.

I know why Anya...

I understand. I do.

But you?

All those times
I told spike to get lost,

that he didn't have a chance
with a girl like you.

You don't know
how hard it's been.

- What, lying to me?
- Being here.

After I was brought back...

You have no idea how
hard it is just being here.

- You could have told me.
- You didn't want to know.

So you went to him instead.

Xander, what I do with my personal
life is none of your business.

It used to be.

It just happened, okay?

Oh, like uh,

"say, you're evil.

Get on me?"

You fought side-by-side
with him when I was gone.

- You let him take care of dawn.
- But I never forgot what he really is.

- God, what were you thinking?
- You're asking me that?

Oh, 'cause your decision-making
skills have really sparkled lately.

I'm not saying I
didn't make any mistakes.

But last time I checked, slaughtering
half of Europe wasn't one of them.

He doesn't have
a soul, Buffy,

just some leash
they jammed in his head.

You think he'd still be all snuggles
if that chip ever stopped working?

Would you still trust him
with dawn then?

It doesn't matter.

I'm not seeing him anymore.

- It's over.
- Yeah.

There's a lot of that
goin' around.

It's all a mess.

These things take time.
We'll figure it out.

Sure, we'll decipher codes,
foil evil schemes.

- Finally get out of bed.
- I was with ya up until there.

Whoa.

- What is it?
- Uh, one of their data c.D.'S.

It's filled with encrypted
blueprints, schematics.

- To what?
- I'm not sure.

Their designations
have been stripped.

Maybe we can cross-reference them
with the county clerk's office.

Would that involve
getting up?

- Eventually.
- Then I'm coming out firmly against it.

What about
the trio's evil scheme?

Well, I'm kinda busy
workin' on my own.

You're all wet.

It's a good thing I'm part fish.
Which part?

- The part with the hook in it.
- Careful.

Someone might reel you in.

Yeah, but...

Then there'd be the flopping
and the gasping and...

Maybe it'd work out, but chances are I'd up and
leave you at the helm in your white dress,

then find you spawning with another
fish who turns out to be...

Spawning my very good friend,
night and day, behind my back.

And then comes the fighting, and again
with the flopping and the gasping, it's...

Hey, chicken of the sea here's not doin'
too good with the women these days.

- Huh?
- Sorry. I'm just...

Lookin' to curl up
with a quiet alone tonight.

We don't have time for this.

Ease up, twitchy.

All right.

Let's make some noise.

Not bad. How hard you gonna hit
when you're blowin' in the wind?

Ohh!

That was rhetorical.

Are you hurt?
You're not movin' so well.

- Get out.
- We have to talk.

- I really don't.
- Well, this isn't just about you...

As much
as you'd like it to be.

You spoke. I listened.
Now leave.

I'm sorry.

Not that it matters anymore.
But I needed you to know that.

- Why?
- 'Cause I care about you.

Then you might want to try the
not sleeping with my friends.

I didn't go to Anya for that.
I was looking for a spell.

- You were gonna use a spell on me?
- It wasn't for you.

I wanted something.

Anything to make this feeling stop.
I just wanted it to stop.

You should've let him kill me.

- I couldn't do that.
- Why?

- You know why.
- Because you love me.

- No, I don't.
- Why do you keep lying to yourself?

How many times...
I have feelings for you.

I do. But it's not love.

I could never trust you enough
for it to be love.

Trust is for old marrieds,
Buffy.

Great love...
Is wild...

And passionate
and dangerous.

It burns and consumes.

Until there's nothing left.

Love like that doesn't last.

I know you feel like I do. You
don't have to hide it anymore.

- Spike, please stop this.
- Let yourself feel it.

- No!
- You love me.

Ow, no. Stop it!
You love me.

Spike, stop! Ow!
What are you doing? Ow!

Ow! Oh!
Let it go.

Let yourself love me.

Buffy. Buffy. Spike, no!
Ow, I'm hurt!

Ow! Don't! No!

- Stop! Ow! Stop it!
- I knew you felt it...

- When I was inside you.
- No! No!

Please, please!
Spike, please stop...

- You'll feel it again, Buffy.
- Please don't do this!

- I'm gonna make you feel it!
- Stop!

Ask me again why I could
never love you.

- Buffy, my god, I didn't...
- Because I stopped you!

Something I should have done
a long time ago.

What are we doing here?
Somebody might recognize us.

This is great.

We're risking everything so that
Charles atlas can get a date.

He's gonna end up getting us
thrown into jail. Or worse.

- Maybe you and I should think about...
- Warren's the boss.

He's Picard.
You're Deanna Troi.

Get used
to the feeling, betazoid.

The clothes and
the cars and the money...

See, it's all just
window dressing.

Baby, this is what's
really important.

Two souls comin' together.
Hey!

She only comes together with me.
So get lost, shrimp.

Frankie? Oh, my
god, is that you?

How long has it been? It's Warren.
Remember, Warren,

gym class,
fifth period?

You and your jock buddies used
to give me such a hard time.

That thing with the underwear. God,
I thought I'd never stop crying.

Yeah, that was you? Yeah, that was me.
But hey, no hard feelings.

I mean, I know you were
just foolin' around,

like I'm gonna be with your
girl in about five minutes.

What'd you say? You heard me, meathead.
Take a walk.

Oh, you're dead,
you little...

This ain't high school.

Frankie!

Let's party!

I think he broke my hand.

Oh, don't worry about
the tab now, ladies.

It's on daddy tonight.

Don't worry, babies.
Daddy gonna give you some too.

See now, I think it's the daddy
thing that's throwin' her.

- 'Cause incest? Not that sexy.
- Oh, crap.

So why don't we leave the ladies with their
impending nausea and move the freak show outside.

What do you say? Okay. But let
me ask you somethin' first.

You think maybe you could put in a
word for me with that Anya chick?

'Cause if she's taking it from a
vamp, I think I might have a chance.

No wonder she's screwin' a dead guy.
You hit like a girl.

Well, at least
I know how to get one.

Let's see how popular you are
without a face.

Warren, we have to go.
We'll go when I'm ready.

Hey, it's your call, but we're
gonna miss that thing...

You wanted to do tonight
if we don't leave right now.

- That's all I'm saying.
- Yeah.

- It's your lucky night, chump.
- We just gonna leave him there?

- What if he sics the slayer on us?
- Bring her on.

Buffy? I found Warren!

Actually,
my face kinda found him.

Is this what you call
not seein' spike anymore?

What did he do?
Did he hurt you?

He tried.
He didn't...

- Son of a bitch!
- Don't.

Please, just... don't.

Hey! I think we
finally have something.

- What happened?
- Nothing.

What'd you find out?

We were able to decipher pretty
much everything, except these.

It isn't written in any ancient
language we could identify.

Hmph. It's Klingon.
They're... they're love poems.

Which has nothing to do with the insidious
scheme you're about to describe.

What have you got for me
that doesn't rhyme?

Oh, um, this. It was filled with
encoded blueprints and schematics.

To what?

Um, banks, armored car
routes, corporate vaults.

- This is big.
- They're lookin' to score some serious dinero.

We don't think they're
planning just one job.

Spree, anyone?

I-I can't cover all these at once.
You don't have to.

We think there's
one they may hit tonight.

- It's time sensitive.
- Be careful.

Warren's gone all mighty mouse.
Emphasis on the might. Good.

Then I won't
have to hold back.

Please, stop it!

No, stop, please! Please,
don't do this! Please!

Please, stop it! Please! Buffy?

- I'm gonna make you feel it!
- No! Stop!

Uh, knock, knock?

I was just in the neighborhood,
so I thought, you know,

there's a knight rider
marathon on the TV, so...

I got hot wings!

What have I done?

Why didn't I do it?

What has she done to me?

She done... who?

Oh. Slayer, huh?

Gosh. She break up
with you again?

We were never together.

Not really.

She'd never
lower herself that far.

She's a sweet girl, spike.
But hey, whoo.

Issues.

And no wonder,
with the whole...

Comin' back from the
grave, and whatnot.

Hey, I had this cousin who got
resurrected by some kooky shaman.

Whoo, boy.
Was that a mess.

- Why do I feel this way?
- Love's a funny thing.

Is that what this is?

I can feel it...

Squirmin' in my head.

Love?
The chip.

Gnawing bits and chunks.

Uh,
maybe a wet cloth?

You know, everything always
used to be so clear.

Slayer, vampire.
Vampire kills slayer.

Sucks her dry. Picks his
teeth with her bones.

It's always been that way.

I've tasted the
life of two slayers.

But with Buffy...

It isn't supposed
to be this way!

It's the chip...

Steel and wires and silicon!

It won't let me
be a monster.

And I can't be a man.

I'm nothing.
Hey!

Come on now,
Mr. negative.

You never know what's
just around the corner.

- Things change.
- Yeah, they do.

If you make them.

All right,
that's the last one.

Quite a haul, huh? Always the
biggest gate of the year.

Yeah.
Don't lose any.

Yeah.

Wanna grab a bite after?
I think Ruby's is still open.

What the hell?

There's something back there! I can't
wait to get my hands n his orbs.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be
givin' 'em up any second now.

Hi! Is this your bank?

'Cause if not, there's
gonna be a fee for that.

I was wondering when
super bitch would show up.

- You really got a problem with strong women, don't ya?
- Nothing I can't handle.

- You seem a little off.
- Is this a bad day?

It's gettin' better.

That all ya got?

No!

There's two ways this can end.
And right now,

I'm thinkin'
they're both gonna hurt.

I think you're right.

What's the matter, baby?

You never fight
a real man before?

Wow.
That almost hurt, kitten.

Kill her. Kill her!

- You know who I am, slayer?
- You're a murderer.

- Well that too.
- But more to the point...

I'm the guy
that beat you.

- And it's not
the muscles, baby.

- It's the brains.
- I'll remember that when I knock 'em clean out of your...

Oh, sparky! I didn't
think ya had it in ya!

Orbs.
Smash his orbs.

Say good night, bitch.

"Good night, bitch."

You're nothing but
a sad little boy, Warren.

But it's time you grow up
and pay for what you've done.

Get away from me. I swear to
god I'm gonna take you down,

you piece of...

Oh, come on.

Well played,
slayer.

Why didn't I get
one of those?

This round to you.
But the game's far from over.

Jet packs. You jerks were
setting me up to take the fall.

He left me. He flew
away and left me.

Oh, god.

The big house.

How could he
do this to me?

He promised we'd
be together, but...

He was just
using me.

He never really loved...
Hanging out with us.

You think he'll come back for us?
I mean,

he wouldn't just
take off, would he?

Get nice and comfy, slayer.
I'll be back.

And when I do,
things are gonna change.

Hmph.
Hey, clothes.

Better not get used to 'em.
Mmm. Yes, ma'am.

Mmm. Xander.

Okay, not quite the
response I was fishin' for.

No, he's here.

Think they're making up?

I hope so.
That's the best part.

Time for the spring poking
already?

Just making sure there are
no more evil trio cameras.

Or evil uno.

The sinister, yet
addictive card game?

Warren. Jonathan
and Andrew got clinked,

but Warren pulled
a rocket man.

You'll find him. He won't be
much good without his friends.

No, he won't.

How did we get here?

Scenic route.
Long drive.

The past few weeks...
I know.

I thought I hit bottom,
but... it hurt...

That you didn't trust me
enough to tell me about spike.

It hurt.
I'm sorry.

I should've told you.

Maybe you would have,
if I hadn't given you...

So many reasons to think
I'd be an ass about it.

Guess we've all done a lot of
things lately we're not proud of.

I think I've got you beat.

Want to compare?
Not so much.

I don't know what I'd do...

Without you and wil.

Let's not find out.

Oh. I love you.

You know that,
right?

Buffy!

You think you could
just do that to me?

You think I'd let you
get away with that?

Think again.

- Your shirt.
- Tara?

Sweet fancy Moses!
Where the hell did he...

- Oh, god.
- Tara?

Baby?
Baby, come on!

- Get up!
