00:00Gypsies, the elders conjured the perfect punishment for me.
00:05They restored my soul.
00:06One moment of true happiness, of contentment,
00:11and that soul is taken from you.
00:14Angel, there must be some part of you inside that still remembers who you are.
00:18Your boyfriend is dead.
00:20You put the secrets to restoring my soul here.
00:25I can't hold on to the past anymore.
00:31Angel is gone.
00:35Nothing's ever going to bring him back.
00:43Here's the thing.
00:45There's moments in your life that make you,
00:48that set the course of who you're going to be.
00:51Sometimes they're little, subtle moments.
00:53Sometimes, sometimes they're not.
00:57I'll show you what I mean.
01:00I'll put you there!
01:02Come back where we found a bit more trash money!
01:07Keep your girls warm!
01:12Let's go.
01:15Come on.
01:17We'll sneak in and take some of your father's silver.
01:21You'll never miss it.
01:22Eat with his hands, the pig.
01:29Why don't you rest right here?
01:30So, I'd ask myself,
01:56what's a lady of your station doing alone in an alley
02:01with a reputation that this one has?
02:07Maybe she's lonely.
02:10In that case, I'd offer myself as escort
02:14to protect you from harm
02:16and to while away the door of ours.
02:20You're very gracious.
02:22It's often been said.
02:24Are you certain you're up to the challenge?
02:29My lady, you'll find that with the exception
02:33of an honest day's work,
02:36there's no challenge I'm not prepared to face.
02:41Oh, but you're a pretty thing.
02:47Where are you from?
02:49Around.
02:51Everywhere.
02:52Everywhere.
02:54I've never been anywhere myself.
02:57I always wanted to see the world, but...
03:00I could show you.
03:02Could you then?
03:03Things you've never seen,
03:05never even heard of.
03:08Sounds exciting.
03:09It is.
03:11I'm frightening.
03:13I'm not afraid.
03:16Show me.
03:17Show me your world.
03:24Close your eyes.
03:25Close your eyes.
03:25Come on.
03:35Come on.
03:37Come on.
03:37Come on.
03:46Come on.
03:47Nice try.
04:17I want you to get a message to Angel for me.
04:37Tell him I'm done waiting.
04:39I'm taking the fight to him.
04:41You got that?
04:42You need me to write it down for you?
04:47All right.
04:52I'm telling myself.
05:02I'm good.
05:04Don't worry about me.
05:06You know, you don't have to patrol with me.
05:09I had that guy under control until he was ordered to fisticuffs.
05:12Oh, what is that, um, five vampires and three knights?
05:18Yep.
05:20But no Angel.
05:22Are you, uh, really that anxious to come up against him?
05:25I want it over with.
05:27I hear that.
05:29Oh, we better go.
05:31I haven't even started studying for finals yet.
05:33Oh, yeah, finals.
05:37Why didn't you let me die?
05:39Ah, look on the bright side.
05:41It'll all be over soon.
05:44Yes, my love.
05:47It will.
05:48Oh, yeah, I'll be right back.
07:34Doug Perrin, thanks for coming.
07:36Oh, not at all.
07:37It's a flatter to be asked.
07:39I spoke with Lou Tabor at the Washington Institute,
07:42and he told me we had the best authority in the obscure relics right here in Sunday.
07:46Oh, you may have exaggerated a little bit.
07:51Ah, this is the...
07:53This is our baby.
07:55Construction workers dug it up outside of town.
07:58Don't have a clue what it is.
07:59Any ideas?
08:04A few.
08:06None I'd care to share in so I can verify.
08:09You have carbon dated.
08:12Results will be back in a couple of days.
08:14I'll go out on a limb and say old.
08:16It certainly predates any settlements we've read about.
08:26May I?
08:28Yes, sure.
08:29I assume you've, uh...
08:41You haven't tried to open it.
08:43Open it?
08:43Oh, I'll be damned.
08:47I figured it was solid.
08:50What do you think is in there?
08:52I don't know.
08:56Well, I guess we won't know until we open it up.
08:59Could I ask, um...
09:02Would you wait?
09:04I'd like to work on translating the text.
09:07It might give an indication of...
09:10What we'll find inside.
09:13You don't want to be surprised?
09:16As a rule, no.
09:18Right.
09:19You're the expert.
09:20I'm pretty damn curious, though.
09:23Yes.
09:26Yes, so am I.
09:29Tell Angel.
09:32I'm gonna kill him.
09:34No, wait.
09:36I'm gonna kill you.
09:38Die.
09:39Die.
09:40Die.
09:42Ah!
09:45Mother?
09:46Is that it?
09:48That's it.
09:50See.
09:52Exactly how it happened.
09:54I thought it was riveting.
09:56I was a little unclear about some of the themes.
10:00The theme is, Angel's too much of a coward to take me on face to face.
10:03And the other theme was bi-American, but it, uh, got kind of buried.
10:08Do you think you're ready to fight, Angel?
10:10I wish people would stop asking me that.
10:13Yes, I'm ready.
10:14I'm also willing and able.
10:16I'm still on a test.
10:18I might actually pass.
10:19Don't say that.
10:21You're gonna pass everything.
10:23I will get you through the semester if I have to sweat blood.
10:26Do you think you're likely to?
10:28Because I'd like to be elsewhere.
10:30There's only metaphor blood.
10:32I think you'd sweat cute blood.
10:34Hmm.
10:36Sixth period after my computer class, we'll rock on chemistry.
10:40Ready to rock.
10:41Boy, Willow, you really got the teaching bug.
10:43Taking over computer class, tutoring.
10:46I love it.
10:47I really do.
10:48I think it's great to do that before you go out and fail in the real world.
10:52That way you're not falling back on something.
10:54You're falling...
10:55Well, forward.
10:58And almost 65% of that was actual compliment.
11:02Is that a personal best?
11:04Gee, Xander, what are you gonna teach when you fail in life?
11:07Advanced loser being?
11:09I will teach the language of love.
11:13Don't touch me.
11:14You have fish hands.
11:15Come, let me cut it.
11:16Stop it!
11:17Let me...
11:17That's enough of that.
11:20And you?
11:22Are you having a chair shortage?
11:24I didn't read anything about...
11:26Oh.
11:28I get it.
11:29These public displays of affection are not acceptable in my school.
11:33This isn't an orgy, people.
11:35It's a classroom.
11:36Yeah.
11:37Where they teach lunch.
11:39Just give me a reason to kick you out, Summers.
11:43Just give me a reason.
11:48How about because you're a tiny, impotent Nazi...
11:51with a bug-up who's about the size of an emu?
11:55Sums it up, don't you think?
11:57Do you want to come by my house tonight and study, too?
12:01Maybe.
12:02I do have to patrol.
12:03Again?
12:05Do you really expect Angel to turn up tonight?
12:08No, I don't expect him to.
12:10But that's usually when he does.
12:12Yeah.
12:13No, I don't expect him to.
12:14Yeah.
12:14No, I don't expect him.
12:16I don't want to come by my house tonight.
12:16Can you tell him?
12:17I don't expect him to.
12:18I don't expect him to.
12:19Oh, my God.
12:49Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
12:57It's been two days since my last confession.
13:03Father?
13:06That's not very long.
13:09Oh, Father, I'm so afraid.
13:12The Lord is very forgiving.
13:16Tell me your sins.
13:18I had...
13:20I've been seeing again, Father.
13:24Yesterday, the men were going to work in the mine.
13:28I had a terrible fright.
13:32My stomach all tied up and I saw this horrible crash.
13:37My mummy said to keep my peace.
13:40It didn't mean nothing.
13:43But this morning, they had a cave-in.
13:49Two men died.
13:51Go on.
13:52My mum says, I'm cursed.
14:03My seeing things is an affront to the Lord
14:06that only he's supposed to see anything before it happens.
14:11But I don't mean to, Father.
14:13I swear.
14:14I swear.
14:15I swear.
14:17I try to be pure in his sight.
14:23I don't want to be an evil thing.
14:26Oh, hush, child.
14:28The Lord has a plan for all creatures.
14:31Even a devil, child, like you.
14:35A devil?
14:37Yes.
14:38You're a spawn of Satan.
14:40All the Hail Marys in the world aren't going to help.
14:43The Lord will use you and smite you down.
14:47He's like that.
14:48What can I do?
14:50Fulfill his plan, child.
14:52Be evil.
14:54Just give in.
14:55No.
14:56I want to be good.
14:58I want to be pure.
15:00We all do at first.
15:03The world doesn't work that way.
15:06Father.
15:07I beg you.
15:10Please.
15:11Please help me.
15:15Very well.
15:17Ten-hour fathers in an act of contrition.
15:21Does that sound good?
15:25Yes, sir.
15:29Yes, Father.
15:32The pleasure was mine.
15:36And my child.
15:39Yes.
15:41God is watching you.
15:44Yes.
15:45Yes.
15:46Yes.
15:47Yes.
15:48Yes.
15:49Yes.
15:50Yes.
15:51Yes.
15:52Yes.
15:53Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:54Yes.
15:55Nice walk, Pat.
15:59I met an old man who didn't like him.
16:04He got stuck in my teeth.
16:09But then the moon started whispering to me all sorts of dreadful things.
16:21What did it say?
16:22Oh, look who's awake.
16:23What did the moon tell you?
16:25What did the moon tell you?
16:26What did the moon tell you?
16:28Did you have a vision?
16:32Something coming?
16:33Oh, yeah.
16:33Oh, yeah.
16:34Oh, yeah.
16:35Something terrible.
16:36What?
16:36Something terrible.
16:38Psss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss, pss.
16:40Where?
16:41At the museum.
16:44A tomb.
16:46With a surprise inside.
16:50You can see all that in your head.
16:53No, you ninny. She read it in the morning paper.
17:04Oh, my.
17:06That's what's been whispering to me.
17:11Oh, yeah.
17:13Don't worry, though.
17:16Soon it'll stop.
17:20Soon it'll scream.
17:23It doesn't make any sense.
17:35Well, sure it does. See?
17:39Oh, no, this doesn't make any sense.
17:42It's senseless.
17:45It is, but at least you know that, so you're learning.
17:49Yeah, me.
17:50Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
17:51I mean, when in the real world am I ever going to need chemistry or history or math or the English language?
17:59Okay, I see your problem.
18:02I'm a moron.
18:04Will you stop that?
18:05You're not stupid.
18:07You've just had a lot on your mind.
18:10And you can learn this real easily, but if you're just going to give up, then don't waste my time.
18:15Okay.
18:17Wow.
18:19They really are a good teacher.
18:21Okay, look at this.
18:22A covalent bond, which means these two atoms are linked by...
18:27Oh, hold that thought.
18:36Okay.
18:37I'm learning, girl.
18:39Okay.
18:39So, see here.
18:41Deja vu.
18:43Really?
18:45Yeah.
18:45I had this perfect memory of the pencil and...
18:51Oh, hey.
19:00You dropped this.
19:03It's not mine.
19:05It might be something of Miss Calendar's.
19:07This feels kind of morbid.
19:13I've gone through most of her files already.
19:17Does that make it less morbid or are you really morbid?
19:22I had to to teach her class.
19:24Relax, Will.
19:25I was making with the bunny.
19:32Does that say restoration?
19:34It's one of her spells, I think.
19:36Miss Calendar wasn't a practicing witch, but she did die.
19:39Willow.
19:43Oh, boy.
19:46Oh, boy.
19:49Oh, boy.
19:50Oh, boy.
20:06Oh, boy.
20:19Oh, boy.
20:21Oh, boy.
20:26Oh, boy.
20:27I'll see you next time.
20:57it hurts yes good it will hurt more where am i you don't remember everything you've done
21:20for a hundred years in a moment you will the face of everyone you killed our daughter's face
21:31they will haunt you and you will know what true suffering is killed i don't
21:41no no no no
21:56what are you saying curse this is it
22:08looks like miss calendar was trying to replicate the original curse
22:15to restore angel's soul again she said it couldn't be done well she tried anyway
22:22and it looks like it might have worked so he killed her before she could tell anyone about it
22:30what a prince huh this is good right i mean we can curse him again
22:37um well this um certainly points the way but the ritual itself requires a greater knowledge of
22:46the black arts than i i can claim well i've been going through her files and and researching the
22:55black arts for fun or educational fun and i may be able to work this
23:00willow channeling such potent magic through yourself it could open a door that you may not be able to close
23:11and i want you putting yourself in any danger will and i don't want danger big no to danger but
23:19i may be the best person to do this hi for those of you who've just tuned in everyone here is a crazy person
23:27so this spell might restore angel's humanity
23:31well here's an interesting angle
23:34who cares
23:36i care
23:38is that right
23:39let's not lose our perspective here
23:43i'm perspective guy
23:44angel's a killer
23:46xander
23:47it's not that simple
23:50what all is forgiven
23:52i can't believe you people
23:54xander has a point
23:56you know just for once i wish you would support me and i realize right now that you were and i'm embarrassed
24:01so i'm gonna get back to the point
24:03which is that angel needs to die
24:06curing angel seems to have been jenny's last wish
24:09yeah well jenny's dead
24:11don't you
24:11can't you hear what i'm saying
24:12stop it
24:13stop it
24:14what do you want to do
24:29i don't know
24:33what happened to angel wasn't his fault
24:38yeah but what happened to his calendar is
24:40you can paint this any way you want
24:43but the way i see it
24:45is that you want to forget all about miss calendar's murder
24:48so you can get your boyfriend back
24:50hello
25:16hello
25:16i'll have one of these to go
25:45drew

25:53well i'll do a couple of sweeps and then i'll stop by
26:00yeah xander was pretty much being
26:06willow

26:52money
26:52that's all
26:58and again
27:00you
27:00and man
27:00how was it
27:01long
27:03so
27:03you know polite people call before they jump out of the bushes and attack you
27:25just wanted to test your reflexes about testing my face punching because I think
27:30you'll find it's improved I was on my way to your house so I walk in couldn't help myself
27:37which begs the question and don't think I'm not glad to see you but why are you here oh wait no
27:46let me guess your watcher informed you that a very dark power is about to rise in Sunnydale
27:52that's about it great does you have an idea what this dark power is
28:00it's a big rock can't wait to tell my friends they don't have a rock this big spike boy you never
28:21did learn your history let's have a lesson then Kothla the demon came forth to swallow the world
28:30he was killed by a virtuous knight who pierced the demon's heart before he could draw breath to
28:36perform the act Kothla turned to stone as demons sometimes do
28:43and was buried where neither man nor demon would want to look unless of course they're putting up
28:53low-end housing voice
28:55he fills my head I can't hear anything else let me guess someone pulls out the sword someone
29:13worthy the demon wakes up wackiness ensues he will swallow the world and every creature living on this
29:23planet will go to hell
29:24my friends
29:31we're about to make history
29:36end
29:39I've been on the phone to the museum the artifact in question is missing and the curator has been
29:54murdered vampires and you're sure this was the tomb of alfalfa
29:59a catholic and yes information provided by Kendra's watch seems conclusive
30:06okay somebody explain the whole he will suck the world into hell thing because that's the part I'm not
30:14loving well the demon universe exists in a dimension separate from our own
30:21with one breath the catholic will create a vortex a kind of whirlpool that will pull everything on earth into that dimension
30:32where any non-demon life will suffer horrible and eternal torment
30:41so that would be the literal kind of sucked into hell
30:45neat
30:46although I think you should try the curse
30:52I tend to side with your friend Zandra on this one
30:56Angel should be eliminated
31:00oh I'll fight him
31:01I'll kill him if I have to
31:04but if I don't get there in time or if I lose
31:08then Willa might be our only hope
31:10I don't want to be our only hope
31:13I crumble under pressure
31:15let's have another hope
31:17we have
31:18blessed by the night you first slew the demon
31:23if all else fails
31:25this might stop it
31:28I think
31:30oh may I
31:32thank you
31:35well let's hope all else doesn't fail
31:39how close are you to figuring out the ritual of the curse
31:42I need about a day
31:45and
31:46an orb of Thessala
31:49whatever that is
31:50spirit vault for rituals of the undead
31:53I've got one
31:54I've been using it as a
31:56paperweight
31:57this means I can't help you study for tomorrow's final
32:01I'll wing it
32:03of course if we go to hell by then
32:05I won't have to take him
32:06or maybe I'll be taking him forever
32:09Ador has a ritual of his own to perform
32:13before he can remove the sword
32:15and awaken a cathler
32:17with any luck
32:18it should take some time
32:20spike

39:54I didn't know it was so late.
39:57Tyler and I were talking.
39:59That boy is irresponsible.
40:02No, Mom, it's not his fault.
40:04You know we worry, that's all.
40:11Dinner's in ten minutes.
40:13Yeah.
40:25Did she say where she was?
40:27She was with Tyler.
40:28I don't want her seeing him anymore, period.
40:31You're overreacting, dear.
40:33Don't do that.
40:34Don't talk to me like I'm a kid.
40:36Don't.
40:37Just forget it.
40:38Just because you can't discipline her, I have to be the owner.
40:41I am not having this conversation again.
40:44All right?
40:51She's going to have it tough, that Slayer.
40:54She's just a kid.
40:55The world's full of big, bad things.
41:03I want to help her.
41:07I want.
41:07I want to become someone.
41:17God, jeez, look at you.
41:19She must be prettier than the last Slayer.
41:21This isn't going to be easy.
41:27The more you live in this world, the more you see how apart from it you really are.
41:33And this is dangerous work.
41:35Right now, you couldn't go three rounds with a fruit fly.
41:37I want to learn from you.
41:45All right.
41:47But I don't want to dress like you.
41:49Again, you're annoying me.
41:52You're lucky we need you on our side.
41:57I have strayed.
41:59I've been lost.
42:02But Akathla redeems me.
42:05With this act...
42:07We will be free.
42:19Someone wasn't worthy.
42:39Damn it!
42:41This is so disappointing.
42:47There must be something I missed.
42:48The incantations.
42:50The blood.
42:51I don't know.
42:53What are we going to do?
42:56What do we always do in a time of trouble?
42:59Turn to an old friend.
43:02We'll have our Armageddon.
43:04I swear.
43:18We'll have our Armageddon.
43:26How do you think it is?
43:28It's pretty good.
43:32We'll have a good time.
43:33Tonight, sundown, at the graveyard, you will come to him, you will come to him or more
43:52will die, tonight, his hour is at hand!
44:03She said more would die, I have to go, then I should go with you, no, I need you here
44:10just in case, I can take care of myself, and look, as long as Angel's fighting me, then
44:18he can't do this end of the world ritual thingy, and that's a good, well, what do you think?
44:24I just want to cross check, we don't have time, if this is gonna work, it has to work
44:30it now, okay, then I need maybe half an hour once we're all set up, which means you just
44:37have to hold Angel off, don't let him close on you, if the curse succeeds, you'll, you'll
44:45know, why don't you just wait here to find out if it worked, see if he phones you, I can't
44:52risk him killing any more people, I better go, be careful, I will, here, in case the curse
45:06does not succeed, this is my lucky stake, I've killed many vampires with it, I call it Mr.
45:16Pointy, you named your stake, yes, remind me to get you a stuffed animal, thanks, watch your
45:34back, hello lover, I wasn't sure you'd come, after your immolation O'gram, come on, I had
46:00to show, shouldn't you be out destroying the world right now, pulling the sword out of
46:04Al Franken or whatever his name is, that's time enough, I wanted to say goodbye first, you
46:10are the one thing in this dimension I will miss, this is a beautiful moment we're having,
46:16can we please fight, I didn't come here to fight, no, gosh, I was hoping we can get back
46:26together, what do you think, do we have a shot, all right, we'll fight.
46:33Quot peritum est invenator?
46:50Not dead, nor not of the living, spirits of the interregnum I call.
47:03Come on Willow, come on Willow, let them know the pain of humanity, gods, reach your wizened
47:15hands to me, give me the sword.
47:18Get out, go!
47:33Help!
47:38Help!
47:52Help!
47:55Go!
48:11Go!
48:25Go!
48:43Jesus, is it me, or is your heart not in this?
48:46Maybe I'll just go home, destroy the world.
48:49I think Mr. Pointy will have something to say about that.
48:52Come on, let's finish this.
48:56You and me.
48:59You never learn, do you?
49:02This wasn't about you.
49:04This was never about you.
49:09And you fall for it every single time!
49:22You and me!
49:37Enough!
49:38Yes!
49:40Yes!
49:42Yes!
49:43Yes!
49:44Yes!
49:45It is the material of me!
49:48Yes!
49:49Look at me, Tyrion.
50:19Please, be in my eyes.
50:32Be in me.
50:49Night-night.
51:05Let's get what we came for, dears.
51:11Let's get what we came for.
51:41Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments.
51:51No one asks for their life to change.
51:54Not really.
51:56But it does.
51:57No one asks for their life to change.
52:10So what are we, helpless puppets?
52:33No.
52:34The big moments are gonna come.
52:36You can't help that.
52:38It's what you do afterwards that counts.
52:41That's when you find out who you are.
52:52Freeze!
52:52Freeze!
52:52You'll see what I mean.
52:58You'll see what I mean.
52:58raw pieces of food.
53:16You'll see what I mean.
53:21Grrr, argh!
