Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996–2003): Season 6, Episode 20 - Villains - full transcript

Previously on
Buffy the vampire slayer.

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

Hey. Clothes. Better
not get used to 'em.

Yes, ma'am.

Say good night, bitch.

Good night, bitch.

- Don't!
- I'm gonna make you feel it!

Stop!

Ask me again
why I could never love you.

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

And when I am
things are gonna change.



You think you could just
do that to me?

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

Tara?

Tara? Baby?

Buffy!

She's in the back.
This way.

She was shot?
Yeah, in the chest.

Accidental? No, no,
uh... it was a...

He was trying
to kill her.

Oh, god! Oh, no!

Please! Please! Come on!

Come on, Tara!

Please, come on, baby!

By Osiris,



I command you, bring her back!

- Pulse is 100 and weak. Lung sounds are wet.
- What does that mean? Is she...

You need to stand back. If you want us
to help her out, we need some space.

Hear me, keeper of darkness!

Witch! How dare you invoke
Osiris in this task.

Please, please bring her back.

You may not violate the laws
of natural passing.

How? How is this natural?

It is a human death
by human means.

- But i...
- you raised one killed by mystical forces.

This is not the same.

She is taken
by natural order.

It is done.
No! There has to be a way!

It is done!

No!

Sunnydale memorial, do you copy?
Copy.

We have a Caucasian female, 21.
G.S.W. To the chest.

Come on, buff, hang on. We're
gonna get you to the hospital.

Willow, my god, are you okay?
How did this happen?

Warren... he had a gun.
Warren.

It went down too fast.
I couldn't stop it.

Hey. Wil!

Sir, we have to go.
Are you coming with us or not?

Think they'll let my aunt
bring me my discman?

That's what you're worried
about, in-flight entertainment?

We're in jail!

We're in custody.
We haven't been charged yet.

Thank you, dragnet.

It doesn't matter what they call it.
They got us, okay?

We're goin' down.
That guy's been lookin' at me.

I think he wants to make me
his butt monkey.

Don't flatter yourself. I heard
him talking to the guard.

He's in here
for parking tickets.

That doesn't mean anything.
The joint changes you.

I hear they like the small ones with
little hands like their girlfriends.

You have got to chill out.

This isn't oz.
It's like mayberry.

Besides, Warren is gonna find
a way to get us out of here.

Yeah. I'm sure he'll
be bustin' us out any minute.

He will. He's coming up
with a plan, like wargames.

Remember that decoder that
Matthew Broderick used?

Oh, yeah. That was rad.

The one he made from the
scissors and the tape recorder?

I miss Ferris Matthew.

Broadway Matthew,
I find him cold.

Really? No, i...

Shut up!

This is real life.
And nobody's coming to get us,

not even your aunt who won't
return your one phone call!

She must be out of town.
She... doesn't... care.

And neither does
your partner in crime, Warren.

Don't say that.

What do you mean, my partner in crime?
We're in this together.

What do you mean,
what do I mean?

You two were totally gonna fly off
and leave me holding the bag.

No, we weren't.
I was going to carry you.

No. You two
were setting me up,

and then Warren
was gonna screw you over too.

That is so not true.

Sure.

He's a nice murderer
who keeps his word.

You're wrong.
He's coming for us.

He's out there right now devising a
brilliant way to get us out of here.

♪♪

Whiskey, straight up.

And get a round for the house.
I'm feelin' expansive.

♪♪ Hey.

Bet you don't get a lot of humans
in... I'm watching my program.

Wouldn't want to interrupt
your "me time,"

not even to buy the guy who
killed the slayer a drink.

What's that?
I took her out myself.

I've been heading an organization...
the trio. You've heard of us.

Uh, no.

Not important.
I cut them loose.

I figure now that Buffy's out of the picture,
some things have got to change around here.

I need a real gang, you know?
Not a couple of wannabes.

And you killed the slayer?

With these hands.

What are you, a warlock?
It's funny you mention that.

I've explored all the dark
arts... witchcraft, demonology.

You name it,
I tried it against the slayer.

But you know what I found
really works?

Gun. You killed the
slayer with a gun?

In her own backyard.

Don't underestimate science,
my friends.

Good old-fashioned
metal meets propulsion.

Oh, man, this is gonna be good.
The best!

The town is ours!

Ours, maybe.

You are screwed.

"Metal meets propulsion," yeah. But
you still better be a good shot.

Well...

This isn't the evil laugh
of victory, is it?

More like the evil laugh
of "you're a dead man."

Okay, uh,
wh-what's the joke?

It was just on the news.

A girl was shot.
In her backyard.

She survived.
She's in the hospital.

And slayers heal fast.
Real fast. Yeah.

I was gonna eat you myself
during the commercial,

but now I think it'll be more fun
to let the slayer de-gut you.

Might wanna get
a head start, my friend,

'cause this girl's
gonna be coming for you...

Big time.

Willow...

Where do you keep
the black arts books?

Something terrible has happened,
but you don't have to...

I need power. Not with those books.
I can't let you.

Willow!
Stop!

That's better.

Buffy?

Buffy?

Hey.

Hello?
Uh, the door was...

Tara?

- All right. Who's next?
- I am!

Hey, man...

You're new.
Yeah.

I come bearing dead presidents, so you
think we can skip the small talk?

How'd you find me?
I talked to a guy.

He's one of your regulars. Offered
to show me the way for 20 bucks.

Should have haggled. Most of my
customers'll bring you here for five.

Great. Great.
I'll file that away.

Look, I'm in a bit
of a situation here.

I tried to do us all a favor
and eliminate the slayer, but...

I... I guess
it didn't take.

Killin' a slayer.
That's big business for a kid.

I'm not a kid.
Okay.

I have my own guys.
The trio.

Yeah, you've heard of us. Right.

What were you,
a band or something?

I thought word traveled
in the underworld.

You know, we were evil.
Robots were my thing.

You didn't hear about the freeze ray?
Sorry.

So why aren't
your guys helping you?

Look, I thought this was a cash-for-a-service
gig, not an interview process.

I need protection!
I've got the slayer after me!

The slayer is the least
of your problems.

You're right. I'm sorry. Let's
talk about my skin troubles.

I'd say on the scale of
problems, that she ranks.

If I were you,
I'd worry about the witch.

Witch? Wh-which witch?

Willow. The slayer's pal.

She's the new power, man. Anybody
with intuition can feel it.

She's gonna
blow this town apart,

startin'... with you.

Me? What did i...
What did I do to her?

Oh, okay. Okay.
I sh... i...

I shot her friend.
I feel death.

B-but the slayer is alive,
and sh-she heals!

Yeah, she might. But somebody
is stone cold, and that...

Is why the witch
wants your head.

She can sense your essence
right now, man.

It's just a matter of time
before she finds you.

Here, take it.
All right?

There's that, and I can get more.
Just give me something.

Hide or fight?
Both. All of it.

I still have a few tricks up my
sleeve, but it's not enough.

I need... I need a cover,
and I need lots of firepower.

I can't guarantee anything.
Not this time.

The girl is runnin'
on pure fury.

I've never felt
anything like it.

Thank you for the tip,
Nostradamus.

Just load me up, okay?

Pressure's dropping.
Po2 is 60.

Go ahead and run it
right into the line.

Go ahead and have it standing by.
We have 10 cc's already...

We've gotta stop that bleeding.
Where?

Over by the left ventricle.
B.P. Is down to 80 palp.

A hundred percent O2.

- Got more bleeding.
- B.P. Is...

What's happening?

- Leave.
-

Willow.
Now.

Wil, what are you doing?
She's gonna die!

No, she isn't.

It's so small.

- What happened?
- Buffy!

Oh, my god. Are you okay? Sure.

How'd I get here?

You gotta stop doing this.
This dying thing's funny once,

maybe twice.

Willow?

Buffy. Hey.

What's wrong?
I'll explain.

But we've gotta go.

Why?
It's time to find Warren.

This'll get me all the way
to the border?

You'll have to change to the city bus.
It's all in the folder.

Faster. I'm going
as fast as I can.

Faster!

Wil, would you cut that out?
If you wanted to drive...

- we need to stop. I don't like this.
- We're close. I can feel him.

We'll catch him.
He'll go to jail.

I'm finding the whole getting shot very
motivating, but you're using magic.

- If I wasn't, you'd be dead.
- Maybe.

But this isn't right.
This isn't how I want it.

Sometimes you don't
have a choice.

I think Buffy gets
the tiebreaker on this one.

She was the one on
the ouch end of the bullet.

Wil, you do have a choice.
This isn't good for you.

You made the decision to stop for a reason.
You promised us.

Can I just ask, what's with
the makeover of the damned?

I mean, the hair...
Turn right! Go!

- Go... where?
- Over there! Now!

- Wil...
- Turn!

Fine. Puppet master wants to drive?
Go right ahead!

- Willow, wait!
- Stay back!

Get out.

Please... I'll...
I'll do anything.

It's a robot.

I could feel his essence.

He tricked me.

We'll find him another way.
And then what?

And then we'll kill him.
You need to calm down.

Calm down?
Look, you're angry.

I am too. There's no excuse
for what Warren did, but...

He shot Tara.

When he shot you,
he hit her too.

Upstairs in my room.
Oh, my god.

Guess the last shot
was the charm.

- She's dead?
- She's dead. Now he's dead too.

Oh, my god. Tara.

Christ, wil. How come you
didn't say anything?

I'm busy.

Look, Willow, please,
just stop.

We love you and Tara.

But we don't kill humans.
It's not the way.

How can you say that?

Tara is dead.

I know. I know.

And I can't
understand anything.

Not what happened a-and not
what you must be going through.

Willow, if you do this, you
let Warren destroy you too.

You said it yourself, wil.
The magic's too strong.

- There's no coming back from it.
- I'm not coming back.

Wil, please, we'll get through
this together! We won't.

Not your way.
Please just...

No! No more talking.
It's done.

Willow?

Dawn?

Maybe she went to the
hospital to find you.

I left there hours ago. She
would have been back by now.

Dawn?

Oh, god.

I didn't want to leave
her alone.

Dawn, sweetheart,
come on.

Honey, we need to
get out of here, okay?

Dawn, sweetheart,
be strong for me, okay?

Dawn, we need...
We need to go downstairs.

I don't understand.

I don't understand either.

If you can
just sign this?

Sure.

Call this number tomorrow.
We'll have more information.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss.

- So, that's it.
- Are the police gone too?

Coming back tomorrow with more
of their pretty yellow tape.

We need to find Willow.

Yeah. She's off
the wagon big time.

Warren's a dead man
if she finds him.

Good.

Dawn, don't say that.
Why not?

I'd do it myself
if I could.

- Because you don't really feel that way.
- Yes, I do.

And you should too.

He killed Tara,
and he nearly killed you.

He needs to pay.

Out of the mouths of babes.
Xander.

I'm just saying he's...

He's just as bad as any vampire
you've sent to Dustville.

Being a slayer doesn't give me a
license to kill. Warren's human.

So?

So the human world has its own rules
for dealing with people like him.

Yeah, we all know how well
those rules work.

Sometimes they do.
Sometimes they don't.

We can't control
the universe.

If we were supposed to,

then the magic wouldn't change
Willow the way it does.

And we'd be able
to bring Tara back.

And mom.

There are limits to what we can do.
There should be.

Willow doesn't
wanna believe that,

and now she's messing with forces
that wanna hurt her... all of us.

I just...

I've had blood
on my hands all day.

Blood from people I love.
I know.

And now it has to stop.

Warren's going to get what he deserves.
I promise.

But I will not let Willow
destroy herself.

Okay, where do we go?
She could be anywhere.

I don't know. Um...

Maybe the magic box for some
kind of locating spell.

I could go myself.
No, no, no.

I'm cool. I'll go.

Dawn can't stay here
by herself.

Let me go with you.
I want to.

No, honey.
It's too dangerous.

But it's Willow.
She needs us.

She does. And you'll help her.
Lots.

But first we have to get
her home in one piece.

But...
Dawn, I'm serious.

You've been through enough
for more than one... ever.

You should be someplace
where you feel safe.

Fine. I want
to go to spike's.

All right.
What?

Not all right. Are you kidding?
After what spike did...

Xander!

I'll get the coats.

You're not gonna really leave dawn with Mr.
Attempted rape?

He won't hurt dawn, okay?
He physically can't.

Besides, he wouldn't.
After the other night,

I'd say all bets are off
on what he's capable of.

Dawn feels safe with him.
We don't have a choice.

Right now,
he's all we've got.

Blood of the slain,
hear me.

Guide me to Tara's killer.

John, why don't you
forget this foolishness?

Stop right where you are,
Mr. Norton.

John! John!

- Spike?
- Sufferin' bat!

- Where did you come from?
- Oh, Clem.

I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to startle you.

It's, uh... it's okay.
You just snuck up on me is all.

I made you spill
your snacks.

Don't worry about it.
Like I need any more of this.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Can I get you ladies something? I was
just about to mix up some country time.

- We're looking for spike, actually.
- He didn't tell you?

- Tell me what?
- He left... town.

Oh.

- He just took off?
- That's why I'm staying here for him.

A sweet pad like this
goes empty for a few days,

you lose it for sure.

Plus, I don't have a TV.

I'm surprised
he didn't tell you.

He kind of left
in a hurry, I guess.

Sure I can't get you something? I've
got bugles and, uh, liverwurst.

We're fine, thank you.

Um...

But you could
do us a favor.

Do you think maybe dawn could hang
out here with you for a while?

I have some stuff I need to do, and I
really don't want her to be alone.

I still don't
see why I just...

Dawn, we've been
through this.

What do you think?
No problem.

I'd love the company.

- Do you like Parcheesi?
- Sure.

Or we could rent videos.

I've been dying
to see the wedding planner.

Either way, I'm good.
Oh, and here.

You can have
the comfy chair.

I'll be back as soon
as I can.

I promise.
Okay.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Did he say when he'd be back?
Spike?

No. Only that he could
be gone a while.

♪♪

I'm not asking
for permission, mate.

You seek me, vampire?

You do the finger paintings?
Nice work.

Answer me.

Yeah, I seek you.

Something about a woman.

The slayer.

Bitch thinks
she's better than me.

Ever since I got
this bleeding chip in my head,

things ain't been right.

Everything's gone to hell.

And you want to return
to your former self?

Yeah.

- What?
- Look what she's reduced you to.

- It's this bloody chip.
- You were a legendary dark warrior,

and you let yourself
be castrated.

And you have the audacity...

To crawl in here
and demand restoration?

I'm still a warrior.

You're a pathetic excuse
for a demon.

Yeah?

I'll show you pathetic.

Gimme your best shot.

You'd never endure
the trials required...

To Grant your request.

Do your worst.

But when I win,

I want what I came here for.

Bitch is gonna see a change.

You feeling any change?

Can you talk?

It's wearing off.

Willow was here earlier.
She put the whammy on me,

and then went straight to the dark
arts books and sucked them dry.

Look, Anya, something terrible happened.
I know. Tara.

Willow's out for blood big time. We need
to find her before she finds Warren.

Is there something you can do?
A locator spell?

I don't need a spell.
I can feel her.

You can...
Feel her.

Her thirst for vengeance,
it's overwhelming.

Is that, like, left over from your
vengeance demon days, this sensor?

No. Not left over.

Oh.

Yeah.

When?

When do you think?

Is everyone okay?
Did Willow...

Got her power boost
and took off.

Anya's... Anya was saying
she knows where Willow is.

- A spell?
- Not exactly. It seems...

Anya got her
vengeance on again.

Oh.

So, Willow's all wrathy.

Why don't you go to her?
Isn't that your gig?

Normally, I'd have to,
but she doesn't want me.

- She wants to do it herself.
- Yeah.

Look, Anya,
we don't have much time.

Which side of this
are you on?

If you know where she is,
you can help us.

I'll help.
But I'm helping Willow.

She's close to him.
He's in the woods.

Run all night, Warren.
I'll still find...

Ax... not gonna cut it.

Freeze!

That's cute.
That's a cute trick.

It was an accident,
you know.

Oh, you mean instead of killing my
best friend, you killed my girlfriend?

It... it wasn't personal,
that's all.

Well, this is.

Capture!

Irretite.

Cute tricks.

You are really asking for it,
you know that?

I'm asking for it?

I'm gonna walk away from this,
and when I do,

you're gonna beg to go join
your little girlfriend.

She wasn't your first.
Uh, f-first who?

Tara. She wasn't
the first girl you killed.

I don't know what you're
talking about. Reveal!

I should have strangled
you in your sleep...

Back when we shared a bed.

I should have done
the world a favor.

It's a trick.
Why, Warren?

You could have just let me go.

Make it shut up.
Make it go away.

It didn't have to be like that.
I'm not kidding!

How could you say you loved me
and do that to me?

Because you deserved it, bitch!

Because you liked it.
Oh, shut up!

You never felt you had the power
with her, not until you killed her.

Women. You're just like
the rest of them. Mind games.

You get off on it.
That's why you had...

A mad-on for the slayer.

She was your big "o,"
wasn't she, Warren?

Are you done yet, or can we talk
some more about our feelings?

What's happening?
What do you feel?

She's stronger now.
Close.

What about Warren? Has
she... he's still alive.

She's not done.

Help! Let me go.
Somebody!

Help!
What's the matter?

I thought you wanted
to talk.

No.
Okay.

I'll talk.

What... what are you doing?
Shh!

Hey... I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry!

Wanna know what a bullet feels
like, Warren? A real one?

It's not like
in the comics.

No. No.

I think you need to feel it.
Oh, god, stop it!

It's not gonna make
a neat little hole.

First, it'll obliterate
your internal organs.

Your lung will collapse.
It feels like drowning.

Please, no. When it
finally hits your spine,

it'll blow your
central nervous system.

Please, stop! God, please!
I'm talking!

The pain will be unbearable,
but you won't be able to move.

A bullet usually travels
faster than this, of course.

But the dying...

It'll seem like
it takes forever.

Something, isn't it?

One tiny piece of metal...

Destroys everything.

It ripped her insides out,

took her light away...

From me,

from the world.

Now the one person who
should be here is gone,

and a waste like you
gets to live.

A tiny piece of metal.

Can you feel it now?

Over there.

I said,
can you feel it?

Please! God!

I did wrong!
I see that now.

I... I need... jail!
I need...

But you... you don't want this.
You're...

You're not a bad person,
not like me.

Willow!

Oh, when you get caught,
you'll lose them too.

- Your friends.
- You don't want that.

I know you're in pain, but...
Bored now.

Oh, my god!

What did you do?

Willow, what did you do?

One down.

Grr! Arrgh!
