05:34Please, you've got to give us some room.
05:36What do we have?
05:37High-grade fever, possible fractures.
05:40Get her into trauma one.
05:41Give her a CBC Chem 7 type of strength.
05:44Right.

05:47Someone should be with her.
05:48I'm sorry, you can't go any further.
05:52I'll call Giles.
05:53Tell him what happened.
05:54You call Buffy's mom.
05:55Tell her not what happened.
05:57Just get her here.
05:58Get her and drink her.
06:01Get her and drink her.
06:01Where is she?
06:21She's still in the emergency room.
06:23I want to see her.
06:25I want to let her see her.
06:26Miss Summers?
06:27Yes.
06:27I'm Dr. Wilkerson.
06:29Is Buffy okay?
06:30We were able to stabilize.
06:32Is she okay?
06:33She's going to be fine.
06:37Good.
06:38Good.
06:40That's good.
06:40I want to keep her here a few days, though.
06:43She still has some healing to do.
06:50Buffy?
06:52Hi, sweetheart.
06:54Hey, Buffy.
06:55We're all here.
06:57Hey.
06:58Here we are.
07:01It's all of we...
07:02Are we taking me home?
07:05No.
07:06Buffy, you need to lie down.
07:08Lie at home.
07:12My bed is better than any bed.
07:15It's not my bed.
07:17She's still a little out of it.
07:20Shh.
07:20Hospital zone.
07:22No singing.
07:23She'll feel better after she's been here a while.
07:26No.
07:27I want to go.
07:28No.
07:29No.
07:30Let me go.
07:31She wants to go.
07:32No.
07:32Stop it.
07:33Hold it steady.
07:34The guy was telling us.
07:35The vampires.
07:36They need to kill the vampires.
07:38This will not be realized.
07:42No.
07:44No.
07:44No.
07:46It's got to be the fever.
07:47Yeah, it made her delusional.
07:49They're out there.
07:51Listen, we'll get to those vampires later.
07:56It's best to play alone.
07:59Honey, listen.
08:01I want to go home.
08:03It's going to be okay.
08:05I promise.
08:06Please don't make me stay here.
08:07I promise.
08:08I promise.
08:11I promise.
08:11I promise.
08:12That was a new experience.
08:35I'm not used to seeing Buffy scared like that.
08:38Yeah.
08:38She just hates hospitals.
08:41Since she was a little girl.
08:43What happened?
08:44When she was eight, her cousin Celia died in a hospital.
08:49Buffy was alone with her at the time.
08:52Yuck.
08:53Yeah, they were very close.
08:55Oh, and she was eight?
08:59Well, it looks like she's asleep.
09:01I should go call her father.
09:05I think there's a phone.
09:08Thank you for coming.
09:10I really appreciate the way you look out for her.
09:13Oh.
09:13For all of you.
09:14Well, we're very fond of her.
09:18The telephone.
09:20I, I, I hope I'm not out of line.
09:25But I wanted to say how sorry I am about that teacher, Miss Callender.
09:31Buffy said you were close.
09:37Buffy's been so down since it happened.
09:40I mean, she never gets sick.
09:43I'm sure she'll be, uh, she'll be fine.
09:46I'm sorry.
09:48I, I babble when I'm nervous.
09:50I just wanted to...
09:54Well, if, if you need anything...
10:06Do you think she's gonna be okay in here?
10:08I don't know.
10:09Lisette got her nose done here,
10:11and she came in looking for the Grant Paltrow,
10:13and she's more like the Mr. Potato Head.
10:17Cordy.
10:19Buffy's not in here for cosmetic surgery.
10:22No, but while she's in here,
10:23she might as well get that thing done.
10:26You know that thing on her face?
10:29You know that thing.
10:31Do you think Angel will attack Buffy in here?
10:34He can come in.
10:35It's a public building.
10:36That's true.
10:38Am I the only one that's noticed that thing?
10:40I don't know.
10:41I don't know.

14:40I don't know.
15:10Dr. Wilkins, I have the consent of the parents.
15:14They're desperate.
15:16They don't understand what they do.
15:16Oh, look, look, if you have a problem with my myths, just take it up with the boys.
15:20I have.
15:21He comes at night.
15:31He comes back for us.
15:33He'll come back for us.
15:33Who?
15:35The visiting hours are over.
15:47Visiting hours are over.
15:59Well, I'm pretty much family.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Why don't you come back during the day.
16:04Why don't you come back during the day?
16:06Oh, gee, no, I guess you can't.
16:09If I decide to walk into Buffy's room, if I decide to walk into Buffy's room, do you think for one microsecond that you could stop me?
16:18Maybe not.
16:20Maybe not.
16:22Maybe that security guard couldn't either, or those cops, or the orderlies, but I'm kind of curious to find out, you game?
16:34Maybe not.
16:35Maybe not.
16:36Maybe not.
16:37Maybe not.
16:38Maybe not.
16:39Buffy's white knight.
16:41You still love her?
16:48It must just eat you up that I got there first.
16:55You're gonna die.
17:02and I'm going to be there.
17:08Tell her I stop by.

18:26Does this hurt?
18:27Nope.
18:28touch not so fast good or bad swelling's gone does this hurt nope amazing well then i should
18:45probably go right no soon you have to make sure that fever is gone that's a strong virus you have
18:52maybe not strong issue is that the same virus the kids have
18:59we come in please maybe you can keep our patient from bolting
19:06rat flowers for me lady i think they call those balloons yeah stick them in water maybe they'll
19:17growl not to be outdone homework it's my way of saying get well soon you know chocolate says that
19:27even better i did all your assignments all you have to do is sign your name chocolate means nothing to me
19:38nobody told me i was supposed to bring a gift
19:40i was out of the loop on gifts it's it's traditional among um people um
19:52grapes
19:56well did you pass the night well enough not really something happened i thought you
20:06you know what let's take a walk
20:10this part i could get used to do you want me to go real fast not that i would you're discussing um
20:21stuff yes stuff um you know a girl died here last night how well the flu flu doesn't exactly sound
20:34monsterific i know but there's this doctor back and he's been given in these experimental treatments
20:42i'm not sure what he's up to but he's a little creepy and then there was this kid ryan
20:48he said he saw something so what
20:52death death the death as in it is your time
20:57mafia a frightened child yeah but i thought i saw something i'm not sure i was really out of it but
21:05but you do know that you saw death did he have an hour test
21:09oh if he asked you to play chess don't even do it guys like a whiz
21:13maybe it wasn't death maybe it was something else
21:18so this isn't about you being afraid of hospitals because your friend died and you want to
21:23conjure up a monster that you can fight so you can save everybody and not feel so helpless
21:29cordelia have you actually ever heard of tact tact is just not saying true stuff
21:36i'll pass your mom did tell us about your cousin this has nothing to do with that
21:42this little boy ryan is afraid of something something real as long as i'm forced to stay here
21:48i'm gonna find out what so is this the part where we say what can we do to help
22:02you had to ask that didn't you
22:05big cake just gotta figure out what killed this little girl tina
22:10will be out five minute stops this is what happens when you're compassionate towards sick people
22:17they take advantage of you uh-huh buffy almost died just to put you out
22:25i didn't want to be the first one to say
22:30you there me here right
22:47what are you doing here so where do we start
22:54hmm oh i don't know uh maybe look into history of the hospital bizarre incidents that sort of thing
23:02i'm sensing a little less than full committal here
23:06i suppose so cordelia may be home medically insensitive but she may also be right
23:17death and disease are things possibly the only things that the buffy cannot fight
23:22it's only natural for her to try to create a defeatable opponent especially now after
23:31after jenny
23:36that's true but on the we live on the hellmouth side these kids may have seen a monster
23:44a monster that's grown-ups can't see doesn't ring a bell
23:55unless unless unless well sometimes small children do see something we adults don't
24:03understand us our true selves our hidden faces so the kids might be afraid of a regular person
24:14like the weird doctor stanley backer was his name no let's look him up
24:23you know most people think that security guards are just guys that failed the police exam
24:29but that's not me this is my career stereotypes are so unfair i did take the fireman's exam though
24:39i didn't do so good oh well you know i think that security guards are way sexier than firemen
24:48they're all study well this is where all the action is anyhow i'm all the time restraining people
24:55hmm how thrilling do you ever get scared fear is for the weak that's my motto either that or
25:09live in the now i haven't decided yet i bet you see a lot of tragedy you know like that little girl
25:19oh one of dr backer's patients dr backer's a great man he understands the real truth about children
25:30what's that sometimes they die
25:37what was that uh you know i didn't hear anything you know you have the most
25:42the most perfect nose i've ever seen
25:53you must work out
25:55could you make just a little more with the touchy gropey jealous of rogaine boy i don't think
26:15so here take this to giles okay what about you i'm gonna stay here oh right your obsession with
26:22protecting buffy have i told you how attractive that's not cordelia someone's gotta watch her back
26:29yeah well i've seen you watch her back what is that supposed to mean well it was using the phrase
26:36watch her back as a euphemism for looking at her butt you know sort of a pun oh right
26:44goodnight hey well you do jealous
26:52fine watch my back
27:14goodnight
27:22Hey, remember me?
27:43You shouldn't be here.
27:46Why not?
27:49Contagious.
27:49Nah, I already got what you got.
27:56What? You think because I'm a grown-up?
27:59Believe me, I'm not that grown-up.
28:12He'll come again tonight.
28:15Brian, listen to me.
28:16I'm not going to let this thing hurt you.
28:21Any of you.
28:23Grown-ups don't believe you, right?
28:25Well, I do.
28:26We both know that there are real monsters.
28:30But there's also real heroes that fight monsters.
28:34And that's me.
28:37Can't fight death.
28:39Dr. Bakker has something of a rap sheet.
28:55Reprimands for controversial experiments, risky procedures, a malpractice suit.
29:02Looks like it was dropped suddenly.
29:06Factor in Buffy's observation that he gives of the, um, Wiggins.
29:11This may be our death guy.
29:16I just wish I knew what he was doing to these children.
29:19We both know.
32:43Well, it looks as if you were onto something.
32:47I know.
32:47The girl, Tina, it's apparent that she died of the fever, simple enough, but her records show her improving and then suddenly deteriorating without any apparent cause.
33:04So we checked Dr. Backer, this guy was not a solid citizen.
33:09It wasn't Backer.
33:10It wasn't Backer.
33:11It wasn't Backer. He was clean.
33:12What do you mean, clean?
33:14What do you mean, was?
33:16He's dead.
33:17He's dead.
33:18This thing killed him, and not with kindness.
33:20You saw it?
33:21I saw Backer nearly shredded and then the thing knocked me down, but it's real, which means I get to fight it.
33:32This is your work?
33:36No.
33:37No.
33:38One of the kids.
33:39Oh.
33:40Well, it would help if we knew what it was.
33:46It's...
33:47It's invisible to you, but the children can see it.
33:52But you said you did see something the other night.
33:56Yeah, but I was pretty delirious.
33:58I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
33:59Why would I see it then and not last night?
34:02Good morning.
34:05Ooh, looks like I interrupted a secret meeting.
34:10You sure didn't.
34:13Honey, I just talked to the doctor, and she said I can take you home.
34:19No.
34:21I should stay here.
34:23But, honey, I thought you'd be...
34:25Well, I think my symptoms are flaring up.
34:28She doesn't look well.
34:29Because I'm not well.
34:30I feel all oogie.
34:32Increased ooginess.
34:33That's a danger signal.
34:37Are you sure?
34:38Well, yeah, but just for a day or so.
34:42Okay.
34:43Well, I'll talk to the doctor.
34:52So, what's the drill?
34:56Charles, see if you can get a mugshot on that guy.
34:58I need to know what I'm fighting.
35:00Right.
35:02I'll check Backer's office, see if I can find any post-its marked why a monster might want
35:07me dead.
35:08Sounds like a plan.
35:10Of course, if I find anything, I won't know what it means, so will.
35:13Oh, yeah, I'm good at medical stuff since Xander and I used to play doctor all the time.
35:20No, she's being literal.
35:22She used to have all these medical volumes and diagnosed me with stuff.
35:26If I didn't have the heart to tell her she was playing it wrong.
35:29Wrong?
35:29Wrong?
35:30Why?
35:32How did you play doctor?
35:34I never have.
35:40Fascinating, though, this is.
35:42Yeah, right.
35:43Go.
35:44Well, we'll call you if we know something.
35:50Know something soon.
35:52I'd best head to the library.
35:54Research beckons.
35:55I'm on sentry duty.
35:57Angel won't show till sundown, if at all, but maybe I'll get lucky with this death guy.
36:02He's invisible.
36:04Yeah, but if I see a floating pipe and a smoking jacket, he's dropped.
36:09Will you two stay alert?
36:10No, finding out who this thing is takes priority.
36:13Cordy, you should go to Giles.
36:15Why do I have to have...
36:17Good thinking.
36:21I could do with a research assistant.
36:24Let's go, tact guy.
36:28Yes.
36:31Be careful.
36:32Dr. Walther, 973.
36:37Dr. Walther, 297.
36:40Dr. Walther, 973.
36:41Lord, 983.
36:41Oh, my God.
36:42Three.
36:44Huh?
36:44Uh-huh.
36:45Uh-huh.
36:46Uh-huh.
36:51Uh-huh.
36:53Uh-huh.
37:03Uh-huh.
37:04Uh-huh.
37:08Yeah.
37:08Uh-huh.
37:10Uh-huh.
37:10it's weird going through his things
37:21okay didn't finish his coffee guess he won't yep another person i wasn't in time to save
37:34just too bad angel didn't put me in the hospital sooner
37:37there's something i never thought i'd hear myself say
37:41hey wait i think i have something oh sherlock okay this makes sense
37:52dr backer was trying to inoculate the kids with a controlled dosage of the same virus they already
38:00had
38:00well raising their temperatures to burn the fever out of them
38:06would that work according to this was starting to
38:10so he really was trying to help the kids
38:14until that thing stopped him
38:17ew
38:23what does this do
38:26what what does this do
38:29uh it uh extracts vital organs to replenish its own mutating cells
38:36wow
38:37what does this one do
38:42um it elongates its mouth to uh hang off its victim's head with its incisors
38:52ouch
38:53wait what does this one do
38:56it asks endless questions of those with whom it's supposed to be working so that nothing is getting done
39:01boy there's a demon for everything
39:04i don't even know if we're on the right track
39:12since this uh miscreant has only been seen by select individuals there's a chance we won't ever
39:21find a picture of it
39:23well
39:25it's not in here
39:26it's called der kinderstad
39:40who is this
39:41it's me
39:42i've got your monster
39:43where's giles
39:44looking at stuff
39:46well can you put him on
39:47hey
39:48i found your guy
39:50okay just listen
39:51right
39:52the name means child death
39:55this book says that he feeds off of children by sucking the life out of them
40:00whoa
40:00but anyway afterwards
40:03it looks like they died because they were sick
40:05so it did kill tina
40:07yeah that's my take
40:09because it would be looking at the children's ward as basically an all-you-can-eat kind of thing
40:14you know
40:14backer was curing the kids and taking away the kinderstad's food
40:18hence the sliceage
40:20i'll find a picture of how it kills

40:45the um
40:47the kinderstad
40:49gorges by sitting atop of his prey
40:52pinning it down
40:53helplessly
40:55then he slowly draws out the life
40:57it must be
40:59horrified for the victim
41:02bluffing

41:52I killed Celia.
41:55Your cousin?
41:57We have to get this thing, Willow, before it gets any more kids.
42:01You will. We will.
42:03But how? I can't even see it.
42:07You saw it once.
42:09Did I?
42:11Maybe my mind was playing tricks on me.
42:14I mean, I was crazy with that fever. Who knows...
42:16Buffy, think about this.
42:22I have lots of thoughts.
42:24It's crazy.
42:27The fever. That's how you see the kindestad.
42:30That's why Celia could see it. That's why Ryan still can.
42:34It's the only way.
42:36But how are you going to fight this thing with a 107 degree temperature?
42:41I guess we'll find out.
42:43Buffy! Willow, I'm going to do this.
42:46Buffy, that's 100% pure. It'll kill you in an instant.
42:50Oh.
42:54They really should put that on a label.
43:00It needs to be diluted.
43:03Okay, but this better work fast.
43:11Faster than that.
43:12Here's to my health.
43:23Here's to my health.
43:23I'm not sure this was such a good idea.
43:39Hang in there.
43:40You'll be okay.
43:41Okay.
43:43I'm okay.
43:45The kids...
43:45They're gone.
43:49They're gone.
44:02Come on.
44:03Come on.
44:04Move.
44:05Keep quiet.
44:06What could have happened?
44:15I don't know.
44:16Maybe we're too late.
44:18Maybe they moved.
44:19Maybe I don't...
44:21I'm burning up.
44:29Well?
44:30What?
44:31I think it's in there.

45:21I've got to get them.
45:22Okay.
45:23I'll get them in a second.
45:24What's wrong?
45:25Oh, my God.
45:26She's not feeling well.
45:27I can't.
45:28You should be in bed.
45:29And I know it was not that bad.
45:30No, they're coming with me.
45:33I'm sorry.
